Starting point is 00:09:21 assuming scootney's a man but scootney could be a woman as well scootney could be a thing i don't have access to that information i don't know how do you know they unsubscribed I was just saying. Oh, because we haven't heard from Scoot. Yeah, exactly. I think Scoot and he left the review and then bounced. Yeah. Yeah, I thought I had COVID.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I had a migraine, which I normally have. I was like extra sleepy. I was sweating. I was hot, but also I have project heat. There's no real ventilation in my apartment. Right. I also have a, you know, one of those portable heaters. So I have that on, um, I'm tired.
Starting point is 00:10:03 My body was aching, but also, you know, I'm about to be 36. So these things, it could be either, or it could be like you have COVID or you just, oh, bitch, like it's either one of those. Um, the lie detector tests, I don't, I don't have COVID. I got a rapid test and I'm negative, but if you just stay in the house, you wouldn't have to worry if you have COVID or not. I'm just putting it out there. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah. Well, I'm glad you're okay, friend. But you being hot in the apartment explains why you ain't got no pants on right now. Yeah. I understand. Like, all the pieces. I'm like, it's... We still on that, Marie.

Give it up for Shalewa Sharp. uh hello hello everyone um we have we have a lot to cover yes but first let's talk about where we've been yes thank you
Starting point is 00:12:05 please take us through the first 26 minutes there's there's so much that has transpired uh that i've been watching via zoom and i'm i'm sad uh that your um unofficial experts uh are unable to also enjoy uh the show that i have witnessed um it is something they was been here for a cool half hour because she was on time to the zoom yeah yeah you know because i'm in i'm in day job work mode um so you pulled up you got the backdrop she got a dark got a dark lip on yeah yeah that's only because i thought uh you guys would come and and be radiant uh and you are and it's nice to see that you're here radiant after just waking up within the past two hours to 20 minutes or whatever and i literally have been up uh since eight and uh all i could do was
Starting point is 00:13:12 a bold lip i mean drag us you know and my clothes are clean but you know uh some of us uh have stuff going on that we gotta cover up with asymmetrical haircuts and a bold lip and hope no one is looking too closely i have literally smeared vaseline on my camera lens like that's that's where we are right now is it wait is that a tip is that a tip how do we that's what they used to do in um old old hollywood in order to get like that kind of very um soft glow around the actresses as they used to put vaseline on the camera lenses um so uh that it's not a filter is a shame but they definitely did that for sure um anywho uh how how are you guys doing together ultimately you guys are okay as a unit like you're fine are we okay as a unit shalewa i mean give us
Starting point is 00:14:13 your notes babe well um i am sadly marie i am happy to hear that you are feeling feelings um uh even if they if they are sad ones uh i am someone who has uh lived in fear most of my life so i'm really kind of thriving right now do you do you know what i mean like i have you in your bag right now yeah i'm really just like this is your pocket i'm i'm absolutely in the pocket i mean my roommate wants for nothing when it comes to uh paper goods like i'm so on top of all of that stuff i'm keeping us both in toilet paper and snacks like it's uh i'm really on on top of things like that um paper and snacks okay um chile well what are your go-to quarantine snacks what are we talking well um i had the roughest thing that i've had about this quarantine is that
Starting point is 00:15:06 um it turns out stress uh really exacerbates my acid reflux so i wasn't ready for that yeah i was already trying to just kind of deal with like okay you can only have something with a tomato in it once a month and that switched to oh bitch don't even look at a tomato or else you're going to have heartburn like for the rest of the week so that's where I am now and that's a horrible place to be um because I was really um looking forward to having what my favorite snack is which is tortilla chips dipped in spaghetti sauce and i call that italian nachos um what in the eight mile hell yeah exactly no they're not good snacks if you want it healthy add spinach to it otherwise wellness wellness check are you using spaghetti sauce as dip yes absolutely wow okay i see you
Starting point is 00:16:04 in a different light now yeah why would i not i didn't see that coming at all yeah no i absolutely am so that's that's how that's gonna go i mean why wouldn't i they keep making it thicker adding vegetables and shit sauce yeah so do you heat do you heat the spaghetti sauce up yes yes i'm not a heathen come on rolling my eyes yeah so that's what you do and then you scoop it out with tortilla chips and maybe if you want to sprinkle cheese on it i don't know that's between you and your dairy god i can't do it um i'm not built that way but i was unable to do that um okay someone is knocking at my door and i have no idea okay oh finally finally yeah maybe it's the fedex man you except expecting a package no i don't think so i don't think so anywho um so uh yeah
Starting point is 00:16:55 like i i'm unable to eat what i want to eat so now my snacks have been like cookies and um that I kind of didn't want to eat because I'm trying to maintain a weight loss that I had just before this happened. And, okay, we're going to have to hold for a second because this person is extremely irritating. Hold just one second. Oh, okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:17:19 We'll talk about snacks. You know what I'm in the mood for right now is some fruit snacks. Some, like, gummy Welch's, maybe some Gushers. Yeah, I don't have any of that right now. Oh, I just have Tostitos, hint of lime, my fave. And I have salsa. So I do have that just in case I have imaginary guests come over and hang with me.
Starting point is 00:17:46 I don't have any more candy in the house. Remember when I had all those airheads and sour straws and stuff? I haven't been doing that. I'm trying to cut down on my sweets. Okay. now what's going on with the red bull intake are we still oh i have to pretend to understand what my landlord's wife is saying okay we're good we were continuing with about uh cookies that i don't want to eat but i have to eat because it makes me happy even though i lost weight just before all of
Starting point is 00:18:21 this happened so that means like only eating three or four cookies a day i'm having a rough time sure but four cookies a day yeah i have to ration them out because i will eat a whole box which is how i got into trouble beforehand so snacks are a couple of cookies a day um just plain tortilla chips no salsa or anything like that um i've gotten into uh jelly sandwiches i'm really reverting back like i'm going back into like oh i liked when i was a kid i like putting jelly on one piece of bread and folding it in half um but i'm an adult now the folding wait wait do you do that in front of the refrigerator with the door open no or over the sink i will i'll make it by the i'll make it on a counter but i will eat it over
Starting point is 00:19:12 the sink i i do enjoy eating over the sink with the hand just it's just you just yeah yeah it almost feels like it doesn't count and then you could wash your hands after and there's no crumbs absolutely rinse it all down the drain i'm all about rinsing everything down the drain and wiping everything down so um yeah but now you wanted to talk to us about because you said that you are the dishwashing expert yeah um but are you sorry are you the dishwashing expert because you not using dishes because that that now that is where we now that's that's smart but that is not ultimately why um because i uh i i am occasionally i'm eating a lot of eggs as well so gotta wash those dishes and uh i just am doing it a lot and not having a hard time you
Starting point is 00:20:09 gotta wash the egg dishes what are you talking about why are you laughing can't just let them pile up egg is adhesive yes are you boiling are you boiling the eggs or a scramble it's usually a scrambled occasionally a fried uh a boil if i'm throwing it in with like tuna or something like that oh yeah bring tuna back yeah bring tuna back i mean bring tuna back whatever the struggle wait what's the tuna egg recipe because i know you just boil an egg and then you just you know sliced boiled egg into tuna and you mix in with whatever relish yeah relish if you have it relish um whatever kind of salad dressing that you have around because i mean traditionally it's mayo um but uh i haven't been eating mayo for a while um so i don't i don't it's just eggs i know but
Starting point is 00:21:08 it upsets my stomach it's whatever they do to those eggs it kind it got to a point where it was kind of which is understandable because as a kid i loved mayo um in any way you want to take that i loved mayo i loved duran duran however you want to look at that that's how it was i loved springfield i liked white dudes i like mayo yeah so there you go favorite mayo brand oh no you're gonna get a avalanche of disagreements but i like miracle i was gonna say i was gonna say miracle i like miracle whip oh it's tangy it's got a little it's got a little look at me and look at me y'all are very confused i don't know what is the difference honestly i think yeah i buy the one that's on sale honestly i think it's um i think it's just mayo
Starting point is 00:22:02 with a little bit of paprika in it honestly is what i think it is i don't know what i don't know what the difference is but there's some there's a different little tang to it and i mean there i mean the mayos do taste differently there's the uh hellman's there's hellman's which i think uh you know everyone knows there's the quintessential southern one which is dukes yeah um yeah it's uh with a yellow label don't i mean people people fucking swear by dukes though you laugh but if you make something without dukes and a southern person they're like nah not even not even mayo heads i think like hardcore southerners in a way where are mayo hive at do we have a male hive listening i mean if you're a southern if you're a southern mayo person you know what i'm talking
Starting point is 00:22:47 about with dukes it's a thing but um yeah so that's all you just mix that in you know a little salt pepper maybe a little onion powder or a little onions depending on how fancy how fancy you feel like you know if anyone else or if you're going to be alone uh because you're eating tuna and onions um so that maybe but there's something there's something decadent i think is the word that i want to use about slicing some onion real thin or some um scallions real thin and then like put it in something because then you feel like am i gordon ramsey yeah there is something uh you know what's what also helps add to the decadence a ramekin what's that okay have you ever been to the to like a restaurant or something and you ask for extra whatever and they bring they bring you
Starting point is 00:23:35 the extra condiment in like a little just a tiny little bowl like yeah a little like a little thimble cup not even thimble bigger than that it's uh it's a it's cookware you can cook like a tiny little i don't know creme creme brulee on it or something like that but um they're usually like maybe four inches in diameter or something like that. And put something, an ingredient that you chop in there. They use them on cooking shows all the time when they pick up those little things and then they just kind of sprinkle.
Starting point is 00:24:06 It truly feels like you're on television, especially if you've been talking to yourself while cooking. So you're saying I should get ramekins? For sit and cook. Yeah, it kind of feels fancy in a way that it's true. It's like you're not doing anything special, but because you've chopped something and put it in another place before you put it into the food it feels like it's all part of the cooking movement in some way okay Rachel yeah so yeah
Starting point is 00:24:32 absolutely I mean if you can get ramekins I love them um my sister uh has worked in restaurants for years and so she has brought home various ramekins and uh when she brought them home to my parents my dad was just like oh and then just put everything in ramekins um yeah so you know it's it's a lot but i i highly recommend it it feels nice but um yeah so i've been going back in my meal choices um but uh yeah as far as like washing dishes that means that i i gotta wash ramekins now i'm washing silverware you know what i mean i'm washing egg plates uh the pots of that and pans that I cooked them in. I drink a lot of tea.
Starting point is 00:25:15 I'm washing that out, including the teapot, because I use a teapot. I don't microwave the water. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. I don't microwave the water. This is, what?
Starting point is 00:25:25 Yeah, people microwave water. People microwave eggs, Shalewa. I know, that's insane. That's insane. Do you microwave water, Sydney? I do. Yeah. I just, I didn't grow up with a microwave,
Starting point is 00:25:38 so it's not even, I forget it's there. half of the time to heat things up so I just don't think about it well I'll reheat leftovers in the microwave but I'm not heating something like right you know yeah I'm saying yeah yeah I just forget about it so I'm just constantly washing dishes and now I've I've gotten to a point where after I wash my dishes and I put them in the drainer uh if they're arranged you know i'll just stack them in there and then i may take a picture of the dishes as they're in the drain as they're in a drainer because i kind of like how they look you have to send us a picture i will i absolutely will we gotta see the visuals on this yeah yeah yeah um it's very muy importante uh-huh
Starting point is 00:26:26 and we need to post it on on the on the page because i'm intrigued yeah i just these are the things that um and this is me stressed out also from being inside all the time is now i'm like i'm gonna take pictures of my dishes and i want to say i want to say that i wouldn't have thought of that um unless we were uh in these you know covidian times but i'm willing to bet that at some point even if we were out in the streets i still would have looked at my dishes in the strainer and said i should take a picture of those covidian times i love this that's that and what would you say ramifications what was the other thing she said ram ram can ram i was i'm like i gotta get me some ramifications you gotta get me some ramifications yeah i think they sell that at
Starting point is 00:27:18 bad bath and beyond or you know three for 30 yeah three for 30 um okay so i hate washing dishes so much that sometimes i don't eat because i'm like well if i don't eat there won't be anything to clean that's fair so that's kind of where i'm at right now in my life um but i also i feel like there's a method to stacking stuff in the sink properly i had a roommate that will put like the little stuff on the bottom and then the big stuff on and it was like no that makes no sense like dish jenga and it was like sis you this is dangerous wait hold on let's see what let's really get down do you take everything out of the sink plug the sink up and make the soapy water do you do that or do you have a dish pan on the side put the dishes in that no i tend to wash as i go
Starting point is 00:28:14 i tend to wash oh put in the thing wash put in the thing oh so wait you just got that you have the water running uh sometimes yeah sometimes because i'm moving pretty quickly because i have a fairly good you know uh sense of what i'm doing and when things feel clean because that's important okay wait so sydney you fill the sink with water some people do that some people do that and i if you have a double sink yes i could see where that helps if you put things in there to loosen up food and then use that uh make sure you know whatever it is you're cleaning with it's clean and then rinse in the second sink and then put that in a strainer or to me i feel like if you have a double sink you're probably i mean you you probably have a dishwasher that is and you do
Starting point is 00:29:00 okay t t no my girl my girlfriend has a double sink and she has a dishwasher but she doesn't trust the dishwasher she says they don't the dishwashers don't really clean yeah so she uses the dishwasher as a dish rack yep yes she puts dishes in there just to dry yeah yeah yeah that is uh yeah for sure i know people who do that um uh who just they're just like no we just keep the we just keep the dishes in there we don't actually run it because they were that is such an old school black way of doing it too i feel like it's black and brown just like your parents told you no no those that doesn't work you have to do it by hand yeah so and so i i think that there's a whole i feel like there's just a a large segment of the population who grew up with
Starting point is 00:29:55 dishwashers and trust that they were going to do the job and so they don't know how how to wash just isn't how to they feel like well i don't see anything on it it must be fine and it's like no do you feel it like those are the people those are the people who come to your house and offer to clean the dishes and you're like no and they insist and then they clean your dishes with cold water and you're like what what is it or they clean it and then they put it away and now you don't know you weren't you weren't given time to inspect the dish so you don't know i'll take everything out oh yeah no no i will rewash all of it i have an eye coming you dirty beach and then i will grab all of that and i will flip it over because the flipping it over is the key and that's
Starting point is 00:30:40 i think what people are missing is that back the food touched the top of it but your dirty ass hands touch the back and the bottom and the sides of it so you gotta wash that part yell it for the people in your back the fork yeah there's food on the fork and you rinse it off and you think you're good but your grummy paws have been on the handle of that damn thing and you just gonna put that back in the drawer come on bruh grummy paws on that damn thing grummy paws on that damn thing or the top of the plate is dirty and you didn't clean the bottom but you stack them and now you're stacking them what are you doing i right full dna full fingerprints dna evidence on the bottoms of your plate and now it's on yeah are you bitches using gloves like it's a lot of i i do i i went
Starting point is 00:31:29 ahead and i'm like i i gotta dishpan hands are real like it's i'm dried out as fuck anyway just from having to you know wash the virus off my hands every day so the covidicus yeah yeah yeah um sydney you know i love a glove i got i'd be getting like bright i have bright red dish gloves I have pink bathroom gloves I love a good glove moment I think it's it reminds me of Dexter's mom in Dexter's lab
Starting point is 00:31:58 yeah you gotta have the gloves they really do I understand that there's a glove that has like nubby you know grip thingies on the fingers to help you actually scrub and I haven't gotten
Starting point is 00:32:17 them yet but I want to because that's how i what i thought those gloves were to make sure that they don't slip out your hands like oh i've seen i've seen it where it uh it's also like you can scrub uh you can clean plates with it because it's you know like having a you know like one of those silicone type matte things that you could rub things down with but yeah i mean i'm gonna put that on the yeah yeah that's on the list for me for sure but oh well yesterday uh last night um when i was you know on insta stories all late in whatever yep there was logged in i was logged in fully merch merch logged in i i said that i had i had somebody to come and clean my place and it was a very young
Starting point is 00:33:01 man and my thing is that i don't think young people know how to clean at all and so mean Andrew said that's so mean I was watching your story and I was like I don't even want to respond to this because we're going to talk about it tomorrow I was like I felt betrayed by you I need to go look at Sydney's stories from last night
Starting point is 00:33:22 you see my zoom background it's clean in here I keep it clean yes but show us your sink I did my dishes this morning you know what I will say Andrew but you're a gay man different but you're white you're white so then it's like you're teetering it's
Starting point is 00:33:43 you're on the cusp so i'm still young you're all right you're young you you check a couple boxes though because for me i feel like yes young youngish people don't really know how to clean men don't really know how to clean and white people don't know how to clean in my mind so So them three things, like, I'm already like, if Andrew was like, oh, let me clean that. I'd be like, no, it's fine. And historically, historically, it checks out that you guys don't know how to clean because you were so busy having slaves that you didn't have to do it. So it's not in you genetically to clean. It just, I'm not making this up.
Starting point is 00:34:27 It's in the history book. I imagine if I can give you any way out of being a young person who knows how to clean, it may be because you had to starting very young and not like in the kind of clean. It depended on like whoever was in charge, what their level of clean was. That's what your level of clean is based on, because chances are you had to do all the cleaning in the house anyway. so i'm thinking like if you were a kid and your parents were like okay you have you can you have to clean but look at how like this is how my it's spotless it needs to maintain this and that's kind of how you know how to clean then that's one thing but if it's just like hey get all the stuff out of
Starting point is 00:35:09 the living room and you do and you just pile it in someone else's bedroom and now the stuff's just out of the living room and no one asked you to sweep or get cobwebs down or hit the corners or But then, you know, then, yeah, your your places, those areas will not you will not think of those areas. And that's kind of the person I was until I got a job cleaning houses. Oh, Shalewa. OK, so I got a job cleaning houses. When? Like in Set It Off?
Starting point is 00:35:39 Um, much like that. Well, I mean, wait, did they do banks? Wait, no, they were cleaning houses. OK, I remember robbing. and then they were robbing banks no they were doing like industrial cleaning as well right because i office i did like um okay i did some i did some industrial cleaning so i did actually uh clean some banks and um and i was also doing residential like homes and uh which i considered doing when i moved to new york because i was just like well i mean these are they say homes but
Starting point is 00:36:13 these are just apartments even if they're larger apartments i'm used to cleaning like homes like three bedroom two baths plus a den plus a family room plus a big ass kitchen and breakfast nook like ranch homes you know like yeah like because that because that's homes in atlanta or houses so yeah so i'm used to like cleaning houses and loading my stuff in a car and loading it you know like that kind of thing um but yeah so i um i helped a a woman that i knew uh she had her own kind of cleaning thing and i helped her out a couple of times then she suggested me to a guy who had a cleaning business and he was like okay come to my house for training and i was like training i mean you show up at his house by yourself or did you bring backup no i went i went
Starting point is 00:37:05 by myself because every person does a house so i was like all right i guess i'll come to your house for training but i mean like nigga i know what comet is like that i think i'm ahead of the game and um yeah that's all andrew do you know about comet i have no idea okay yeah do you know what do you know what ajax is ajax that's a cleaning i don't know exactly what it is it's in the cleaning aisle i know that okay well it's in the aisle okay all right you've been in the aisle that's good i'm shaking my head he cut through the aisle yeah yeah i i knew about comment when i was like four oh absolutely yeah for sure so smell and everything so that's kind of you know what i swear by but i went to the dude's house and he he showed me how he likes how he goes in
Starting point is 00:37:55 to clean the houses and it was literally top to bottom he was like start at the top go all the way to the bottom do the wet places first um because those are going to take more of your energy so do bathroom kitchen first because that's more scrubbing than when you're doing bedrooms and stuff and i'm like okay oh you actually dropping jewels gotcha gotcha um and so yeah and you know wiping down things and this is what's important now in this uh you know in these times i i saw like so many articles that in the beginning it was just like how to clean how to really clean your house and i'm like oh okay what we got what we got there's a you know death is in the air how do i clean how do i clean for that and it's literally stuff like wipe down uh doorknobs
Starting point is 00:38:42 uh wipe down light switch things and i'm like but who's not doing that and i'm like oh people who didn't clean houses for a couple of years are not doing that they don't know to wipe anything you touch just wipe and uh yeah or to start isn't it wild yeah isn't it crazy that like there are grown-ups that exist in this year 2021 of our lord who don't know how to do basic cleaning but i feel i i feel like maybe that is maybe that is beyond the pale but i just feel like it should like if your cabinet pulls wipe those down and I mean if you're doing it right with the right kind of cleaner you will literally wipe dirt away just any flat surface that dirt can land on wipe it down you know just like on doorways that have like those little you know cutouts or whatever
Starting point is 00:39:40 just wipe all of that down I mean it seems it seems so simple but I I'm reading this in the New York Times and I'm like well okay well I guess if y'all subscribe to New York Times y'all really know how to clean your house i guess i mean like let me think about this yeah that actually checks out a little bit andrew andrew how do you how do you hit how do you clean the apartment i wanted to ask about when at the beginning in like march and april were you cleaning the groceries from the grocery store because i know like that was okay i was i was wiping down you know boxes and and things but i mean and bottles and bottles and stuff like that but i also saw where people were like you mean wash the vegetables yeah and i'm like i can't with y'all
Starting point is 00:40:28 what are you talking about there's some people who don't wash the salads even though it says it's pre-wash and i was like that that's where we're really having that's where we're losing y'all sydney i am shocked that you are rinsing pre-rinse things i am i'm actually surprised to hear you say that i'm washing everything bitch i see the people who oh do you have a They stroll up in the grocery store. They don't even buy anything. They just picking, just holding mangoes, putting them back, walking out. I'm watching everything.
Starting point is 00:41:02 Just cradling mangoes and then just putting them back. Just breathing on the mangoes and then putting them back. Do you have a salad spinner? Have you heard of those? It's a little thing where you put the lettuce in and then it wicks away the moisture. Yeah, you like pull a thing. Yeah, you can spin it or pull a thing and it wicks. I just, I don't have anywhere in my house to store stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:41:22 But I used to love my mother's salad spinner. Oh, man. Yeah. I truly, I don't have one now. So I'm just like patting dry. I just like shake, I shake the lettuce. Yeah. My sister inherited the family salad spinner when my parents passed away.
Starting point is 00:41:37 I was like, all right, you can keep that. Damn, she must be the favorite. Yeah. Well, I got the juicer, the old juicer. And by old, I mean it is maybe a year younger than I am. So it's a 47-year-old juicer. That's an heirloom. It is.
Starting point is 00:41:55 That's why I was like, yo, I get the juicer. You got to bring it on a cruise ship and throw it into the ocean like the lady in Titanic. I don't think it'll pass the weight requirements. That bitch is made out of pure steel. It is so heavy. Andrew. It's not these cute juicers of the day. This was like, you know, this was like a serious 1970s black power juicer.
Starting point is 00:42:18 so it was like juicing trees and shit i don't know i don't know what my dad was going through but he got this juicer that juicer marched from selma to yeah absolutely this yeah this juicer had a fist up at all times so okay so now shalewa as somebody who knows how to clean and what you know what things are supposed to look like when they're clean what do you do when you're in somebody's house and the house is like dirty you know what i mean like like dusty and or like just first you keep your coat on I keep my shoes on you keep your things on
Starting point is 00:42:52 I don't sit much those are houses that you lean in you just kind of lean on I have a very good friend who is a mess and I've been
Starting point is 00:43:09 hoarder a little bit this person is just a mess I mean, I have levels. Oh, no, I know. I've got full, full hoarders, like people who are very close to me who are full on hoarders. Yeah. There's hoarders.
Starting point is 00:43:25 There's filthy. Yeah. Messy. There's junkie. No, no. This was like cross between mess. And I don't know the filth levels because I wouldn't go into places where I knew it would be glaring in my face. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:43:41 Like I never used his bathroom. I never used it. I feel like when you use any man's bathroom, it's questionable. Yeah, but I mean, he had a roommate who was female who didn't seem... But I mean, that doesn't mean that females aren't a fucking mess. So just together... Bitches be dirty too. Yeah, you know.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Bitches do be dirty. But yeah, so I was just like, yeah, I'm not gonna... I don't necessarily like what I'm seeing out here. And I could see where this mess could translate into filth in corners. So I just kind of keep a jacket on. I don't really sit. If I do, I perch, you know. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:18 On the edge. On the arm of the couch. On the arm of something. Yeah. I don't really get comfy, comfy. And then I just say it's because I'm awkward. But wait, I do want to talk about, like, because people have hit me up. They were hitting me up last night.
Starting point is 00:44:34 They were like, like, thank you for talking about how, like, hard it is to, like, clean sometimes. Because if you don't clean as you go, it will pile up. You will get overwhelmed. You will have anxiety. And then you'll be like, I'll do it tomorrow. I'll do it tomorrow. I'll do it. And then you're two weeks in, have not washed a dish.
Starting point is 00:44:55 The sink smells after a while. Andrew, when the sink smells, that's where the comet comes in, boo-boo. It's a powder. It's a hard scrub. It's a hard scrub. You got to scrub it down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. this is problematic if possible to squeeze some lemon juice down that drain man just help that
Starting point is 00:45:15 let that cut through some grease all right so i hear you on that because i am uh i am a mess like in my room i'm a mess i've got pot things that are piled in ways where i'm like all right don't touch that i know everything that's in that but i understand how that looks wild um um what i say to that is if possible when you get that urge to clean whenever it hits you do it then if that means in the middle of the night you know you get the urge because i would do that a lot too also getting a pet made me clean more because i was allergic i'm allergic slightly to animals so i was like oh i gotta gather up all this yeah and i've had a dog and i now have a cat and the cat one is definitely that's something i'm fighting with now is just
Starting point is 00:46:03 being in the house with this cat who's you know loves me but also whose hair can kill me um so but wait so you're allergic to animals but you have two i had a dog before and then now i have a cat so yeah i do i've had two animals but what are you gonna do uh i don't you know my apartment is a garden apartment which means it's partially underground which means mice are like hey what y'all what y'all got to eat oh so you get a cat you got some stewart littles in there yeah well not not since this cat yeah it's been like two years yeah the ratatouille is not not over there no no no they ain't even nope they're like oh what's that cat okay we'll move along we know how this works i remember my grandmother my grandmother had like crazy like rodent infestation we brought a cat
Starting point is 00:46:54 over there, and the rats tried to jump the cat. Okay, well, rats is different. Rats is something else. Mice will like, okay, I'll move to another place, but rats are like, oh no, bitch, I've built a home. We have a community.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Rats are like, I got here first. Exactly. I helped build this. See? She's fine. When I say stuff, I feel like when i i just when i say stuff i feel like it's like oh marie's being mean but i know what i'm talking about when i'm talking in here she's like i'm wearing underwear and she just got up and we
Starting point is 00:47:36 just saw her whole booty hole but i mean anyway you know it's it's it's nice everybody and if you haven't seen one if you haven't seen hers i'm sorry i'm just saying like i sit on that couch when i go over there and she didn't even have a towel down she's not even sitting on one of the cats she's one of the cats sitting on one of the cats oh my goodness um have you ever been on a date no a man what no have you ever been on a date with a man okay get to his house and the house is nasty what are we doing while we're looking at the exits are we saying something well i mean i feel like if i'm at the point where i'm already at the dude's house i've probably let a lot of things slide so
Starting point is 00:48:36 i've probably already been like all right you know let's just um but i i haven't been to a place that was just like oh my sweet lord like no the damn you live like yeah yeah i haven't had just like a like a moment of fear just like holy crap i i've been lucky in that regard um but i mean i have been to enough like houses where i'm like all right it's i can hold it and go home you know what i mean like i it will i won't be here long like that kind of thing it definitely determines how the rest of the time there will go um but i've had like you're like i'm not getting naked here this is disgusting yeah but i also i mean i've had that happen enough that um i've gone into a dude's house and uh gone into like their bathroom and
Starting point is 00:49:40 been pleasantly surprised just like oh okay you have cleaner like you have cleaner out where you can reach it in order to clean and everything smells clean and we weren't we weren't really sure where this night was going so this is something that you maintain this doesn't feel like a freshly wiped down bathroom this was a this was a random like you just were coming in and this is just what he does yeah yeah i was just like okay so this is literally how you how you live but he also may have been raised by someone who's like yeah no we clean in all of this so it's saturday we're cleaning yes saturday we're cleaning exactly you know i when i was unfortunately heterosexual i remember a night i got so blacked out like just i i was fucked up i
Starting point is 00:50:32 got this guy he was on a skateboard like that's how i knew that i was i was not i was not present you were not right that was not well and uh went back to his place well first of all he was going to try to take me back to his place with on his skateboard like i was going to be on the side of him oh how romantic exactly and i said no no no no we're getting no how does that work no how does that work what do you mean on the side wait she was gonna she was gonna ride him well no i no i was going to be walking and he was just going to be like like scooting a little bit on the side of me and that doesn't do anything for either party wet it doesn't get me wet and that's why i got the cab so we get in the cab we get in this place pitch black this apartment is pitch black but it's
Starting point is 00:51:21 on um it's on the lower east side it's like it's where uh it's those tall buildings that you're like either these could be the projects or yes it could be like a community community buildings the projects are community buildings it was i didn't know that what it was until in the morning the ceiling partial ceiling missing bathroom oh sunroof roach roach was already looking in the mirror like how you doing like roach was fixing their bangs gross yeah i was i had already fuck this man so it was like well um what do we do do i grab all my things and run out or roll up in the the thin sheets that he the sheets were transparent threadbare sis i was so i was so hung over that i couldn't leave
Starting point is 00:52:21 and he ordered a pizza which we had to eat her we had to hurriedly eat before the roaches came Absolutely. I mean, did they pitch in? I mean, the roaches was like, oh, man, pepperoni. Matter of fact, the pizza came and Sidney was like, oh, we got olives on this. And then the roaches got up and walked off. Oh, my God. It was. And then that that guy became my boyfriend and I like had to help him get his apartment together. so which part of the ceiling was missing babe uh i'm gonna say i'm laying in the bed the bed was near corner i would say maybe six inches away from the corner of the wall so in the bedroom the ceiling was missing yes
Starting point is 00:53:16 yeah and were there upstairs neighbors yeah what was up there was this next to the window no no like i couldn't i couldn't see into the the other person's apartment but the one whole layer was missing okay so you could see like maybe their subfloor yes yeah okay all right well that is terrifying that is terrifying and i mean it it this is how i i i've it's proof that i've never uh really gotten drunk enough to be or really drunk but drunk enough to like
Starting point is 00:53:57 have a hangover so bad that I couldn't leave because I for sure would have left I for sure like yeah yeah I was so drunk that I stayed and he became my boyfriend yeah no that's I mean there's
Starting point is 00:54:14 a lot that's wrong with the like the moral of that story is truly horrifying he took me to cafeteria he took me to cafeteria as a date that is a full we go there after the let out of the club he took me there at 8 p.m on a tuesday as a date it was yeah i was really going through it yeah yeah and you even said i had to help him get his apartment together you did not have to there's no way you had to no unless you signed some sort of contract with them roaches you didn't have to do nothing yeah and i have a couple follow-up questions
Starting point is 00:54:49 um one how did he approach you in the first place do you remember what the game was what the pickup line was or was he was he just a skater no i was just he was tall he had muscles i mean you met him marie we went to his gym yes but sydney how did he approach you i i don't i don't think he approached me i think he was oh my friend who was a bartender introduced me to him and i just was like flirting and dancing and and being who i am and he was like oh yeah this cool this girl seems cool and it was mainly me well he was good looking so there's that of course he was good looking he had roaches in the bathroom girl listen i i feel like we've all been there we've all been there we've all
Starting point is 00:55:43 went to a man's house that was hot that we liked and then we went into his bathroom and we were like like stifling a scream but like why am I trying to make your hot your hot dirty ass feel good it's bugs in here and a ring a ring
Starting point is 00:55:59 around the toilet like I'm going home Andrew any stories it's interesting I mean not nearly as bad as what you're talking about Sydney young. Wow. Thank you. No, don't worry, Cindy. You are still by far the worst story. But here's a little thing. I am not here to compete. You are the victor. The person that I'm seeing right now, it is bothering me that they're like, so they bought a trash can at like a Home Depot and the
Starting point is 00:56:30 label saying that it's a trash can is still on it and all the trash cans. And so like, I'm just like okay why we can take that off and then he's like well how am i gonna know what it is and so i'm just like okay we need to we need to actually start going around places and is that rude to suggest like hey can you give me like 20 30 minutes in here i just want to spruce some things up wait is that he said how am i supposed to know what it is i think he's just i think he's just fucking with me but i'm just like okay why is the label still on there we can take it off damn andrew honestly i'm looking at my i gotta take it off mine yeah yeah it says 40 liters simply simple human is it okay well just so that you know exactly what kind of bags you need to
Starting point is 00:57:22 get marie is that why you still have no i literally i literally never noticed that the label is like you said that could be it yeah that could be it um take it off i don't i mean if you i guess if you really like them you could say hey look i'm gonna be in here just kind of sprucing up i personally would just do the sprucing yeah because i mean yeah because if it bothers you but doesn't bother the other person having a conversation with them about it will do nothing because they're like well this doesn't bother me you certainly are you seem to be worked up so if it's literally just like a matter of steaming that shit off of the top of the top of the can although why they're on all the cans i don't know maybe he exactly maybe he's got a whole
Starting point is 00:58:11 like return kind of scheme maybe it's a yeah maybe he's keeping the seats i'm not saying go in the drawers i'm just saying right uh you know take it take one off and see if he even notices see if this person even notices and then they may not even notice yeah you go back peel yeah take something off and see if they even notice yes fuck you okay you're talking about a fucking trash can label i'm talking about roaches tap dancing on the mirrors and then fall asking me asking me what eye shadow was am i wearing i feel like i was pretty clear up top but i was not looking to compete i was waiting yeah yeah i was just looking you didn't even need to mention it that's what i'm saying okay fine all right i'm sorry for even coming to this
Starting point is 00:59:05 podcast today but andrew are you you learned what comet and ajax is i know this is like it was a it was a cleaning ted talk for me yeah yeah so you know just get in there and get to scrubbing you will be you'll be surprised how much grayish brown water you'll rinse out of there and how how good it feels i i feel like this was very informative but a little bit of me is like a little enraged because it's like ah black people talk about cleaning and then historically it's like yeah we clean and then you know then it brings me back to the the movie the help oh i never even saw the help i didn't want me neither i was just like oh i've cleaned houses i get it i saw the help uh at my mother's house that seems to be if i were to see it that's
Starting point is 00:59:58 probably what would happen i'd walk in and she'd be halfway through it and i'm like why are we doing this but right yeah luckily i i avoided that trap also apparently viola davis regrets doing that movie i'm saying yeah i mean but think about our careers in that way like we're you know we're like we're breaking into the industry and we're trying to work and we're trying to book things and then imagine all the things that we haven't booked yet that we because like you're excited when you book something right and then later in your career you're like damn i played us I'd be the maid for Emma Stone or whatever. Right, exactly.
Starting point is 01:00:37 I was scrubbing toilets on set. Like, I didn't go to Yale School of Drama or Juilliard or whatever. So, I mean, I'm excited about all the jobs I'm going to regret. So, you know, I can't. That's very admirable of you. I, too, am excited about all the tweets and posts of yours that will absolutely keep me from getting a job. i'm excited oh i've already i scrubbed my twitter when kevin hart uh went i every time something
Starting point is 01:01:07 that's another thing about cleaning go through and get rid of the the tweets that clean between nothing just whenever something pops off i immediately go into the search bar i put my name in and then i put in the keywords of whatever it is that people are worked up about to see what i have said about it i've been very lucky how do you wait chile how do you do that in the search where you're searching anything just a search bar just put your name at whatever at just sydney you know what i mean at silky jumbo and then and you just go through the list and then you put in whatever word it is that everyone's upset with like girl i don't even do that i just deleted everything from before two years ago and yeah there's i mean there are apps that will help you
Starting point is 01:01:51 do that or whatever but i mean i got some tweets that i'm very proud of that i probably tweeted like three or four years ago that i was gonna say so i like like um you know i recently when um when that bean dad thing happened i went in and i looked up i'm like i know myself and i know i'm not going to find anything but just for fun let's look up silky jumbo and what she has said about anti-semitism nothing fantastic let's just throw in jews instead of she said anything nothing well what was the what was the bean dad thing oh that was the dude who wrote this um in his view comical uh sarcastic thing about um his daughter being hungry and him and him saying well there is a can of beans so go ahead that's what you can eat for now and it was a can that
Starting point is 01:02:40 didn't have a pop top so she had to use a can opener and he wouldn't show her how to she's like how old was she like nine or something he wouldn't show her how he wouldn't open the can or show her how to use it he just wanted her to figure it out herself and how it it took a long time it took like six hours for her to figure out finally how to open it and six hours and so he wrote it in like this very dramatic kind of way uh that triggered a lot of people who have been through who've had abusive childhoods who are like why would you why would you do that um and he uh you know then doubled down and was just like well i see the people who are mad at this are people who don't follow me anyway and i'm like well yeah because you're saying this in public bro you're saying
Starting point is 01:03:26 this on the internet like why would you think only people who follow you would see some crazy shit like this and um and then it turns out he uh he has a podcast with uh oh of course with someone and he was a lead singer of a of an indie band and was kind of you know had his own fairly big following but then he went beyond that following and uh he got freaked out he deleted his account and he had an apology where he was like well it was uh you know it happened but what i didn't really explain was like you know we had snacks we were working on it we're having a good time my wife was in the room at no point was the child in danger of not having any food we were eating pistachios while this was all happening it was a good time and i didn't take into effect uh how it
Starting point is 01:04:12 may look to other people so some people you know i was just kind of being sarcastic my bad also for everyone who went back into my old tweets and saw all these things that i said that or that seemed anti-semitic uh i am an ally but the way that i do it is by making jokes and being sarcastic so i guess maybe if you didn't know me and didn't pick up on that it would look like i'm anti-semitic and i'm not my bad so he deleted his twitter so he deleted the whole thing yeah he activated his whole page yeah um so you know when that happened i was just like all right well let me see if i've said just the term anti-semitic and i have not you know i'm just like oh okay um but yeah so just go back and just clean that shit out especially if especially now that people are
Starting point is 01:05:00 truly looking at it clean all aspects just let it go you know take a deep breath your words are not that precious if you really need it take a screenshot or some shit i think you know write it down literally write it down in a journal write down the tweets you love that you've done in a journal in a journal oh yeah that sounds like a lot hey look man i don't know what's next for us we've got literal death in the air yes we got white folks running up on white folks in the big house of white folks we got you know what i mean like i don't know what's next if they're gonna take away all the infrastructure and uh and internet shit i would be very upset but i would not be surprised and i got mad notebooks that i'm ready to write shit down in okay so yeah we may
Starting point is 01:05:48 have to do it old school and i can literally use the paper to burn in a barrel in case i get cold okay i'm gonna put my tweets in a journal that's what i'm gonna do thank you because maybe not everybody maybe they're not for everybody all right sydney start with putting on some pants first maybe in my own fucking house i don't have to do shit people sit on that couch that you sitting on a bare ass but that's not even what i wanted to end on i want to say that i did jump on your insta stories and i see that 13 hours ago my girl was talking about everything and anything and it's a lot of dashes in the story oh here's what i wanted to ask both of you i gotta ask both of you because i am i've been watching both of you your insta stories it's been
Starting point is 01:06:38 very entertaining but my question is what's going on with these fucking lights y'all all the sex lights what are y'all doing are people actually what are y'all doing what's going on with the lights do you like i mean sydney you have a lot of lights going on and i'm not adverse to colored lights um but you know in my day it was just one light bulb and you had to switch it out and i would i went between red and green and um that was as close to club lighting as i got now y'all have whole solar systems on your ceiling isn't that distracting when attempting if you are actually having sex underneath these lights is that no it's beautiful it's the best part sometimes of the sex is it just so you feel like you're in euphoria or something hold on let
Starting point is 01:07:23 me tell you what happened i went to joshua tree i went to joshua tree with my lover and we were able to see the stars there because you know it's there's no pollution and whatever buildings right and i was like it was it it was a fun trip but it was messy we'll never be back we'll never go back no you can never get joshua tree again no we're never going back there but my girlfriend sent me one of those like so you could see the stars on so it it was just very sweet it was okay more so i turned it into oh this is a sex light but it was actually a nice gift to be like remember yeah we won't be back to joshua tree but here's the star right right right well uh i i just i'm just like it's so many lights it's my bill my con ed was 150 dollars
Starting point is 01:08:17 okay all right well that's because sydney never turns her lights off and if you look over her shoulder on the other side of the room the light is still the lights are always on in sydney's house even when you can't really you know see them i mean i i get that sure sure i just i was just wondering what was marie what's your story you just like the looks of them um well i dated a dude who very much like sydney loved ambient lighting and whenever i went to his house i mean he must not pay the electricity because the lights also always on behind the tv on the ceiling behind the couch it's like a million and 12 colors um but it it kind of makes you feel good it's like it your apartment is sexy and um you know i i be high sometimes and okay sometimes
Starting point is 01:09:08 it's just like a way to like mellow out in your house because i mean i don't know if you watch a out of tv or not i don't so sometimes it's just like you know you wouldn't like your little cocoon of light um okay and it i turn mine off i don't i don't leave them on all all day all night and i don't sleep with the light on so that but it's just it's nice okay i just i was honestly curious as to what the appeal was for you with the lights oh and and i will say that marie it wasn't like where we wanted the lights like I kind of like gifted her a few to force her into the lighting but I love the ones that Sydney's given me I have them like around my bed I have them like on the shelf in my kitchen yeah and you're both doing uh excellent things with the lighting anyway uh
Starting point is 01:09:55 Marie uses that as a backdrop while still having the ring going so that you can still see that I've noticed that and uh Sydney is much more immersive with it um so you are in the blue with her and so it's two different takes uh and i appreciate them both and i was just truly curious as to what was uh what was going on with it i'm not trying you know i mean i there's no judgment there's no notes none of that i just truly you know i'm an old lady and i'm just trying to understand what the kids are going on sometimes i sometimes i get into the zoom and like sydney's blue and marie's pink and i'm like this is a gender reveal party right yeah yeah i know i mean i i color is the color is extremely important to me so it's you know interesting to see all of that
Starting point is 01:10:47 uh work itself out in light for other people so that's all you know i mean i usually just keep i prefer an incandescent you know i like i like an edison bulb so i like yeah yeah i do that Because I'm usually coloring, so I need to be able to see, like, little crayons. Yeah, no, no, I mean, like, I just kind of draw shit and then color it in. Draw black things and then color them in. But I just need to see the true color of it. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:16 Okay, well, that's cute. So I'm more of an amber lighting type of thing, but I get it. Really and truly for me, what it is, is I hate overhead light. I hate the way that the fluorescent lights look in this apartment. Yes, right. A nightmare. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It makes you feel old, look old.
Starting point is 01:11:32 It's just wrong. It's ugly. So why not put a pink or a purple or blue changing bulb on instead? That's great. And if you could put Joshua Tree on the ceiling, then I say do it. Right, right, right. So anytime someone gives me with some lights, I take them, I light them, I sleep in them, and then I move on.
Starting point is 01:11:56 Oh, well, that's good because, you know, in my day we had sticker sets. So we had to stick stars on the ceiling. So it's nice that they're doing it by light because it was way more labor intensive in the 90s. My ceilings are too high for the Lisa Frank stickers. But yeah, you know, it's like Shalewa Shalewa. It's so funny for you to say like what I guess era you're from.
Starting point is 01:12:21 Because on this pod, they they usually make fun of me because I'm the the eldest. And they're like, you were you were part of the Reagan administration. None of those jokes were here today. So I really appreciate how they were ages towards you. You're all, I mean, I've spent half of this, half of these Covidian times wondering if menopause was going to kick in for me. So, you know, that's how we doing it over here in Silky's lair. We're wondering if this is, if this is the true change of life.
Starting point is 01:12:53 Well, I thought that I was like, is menopause that bad? like that's how awful my periods have been since we've been in the house and i was like is it bad can i still get pregnant in menopause like just dumb questions okay well as long as you know that that was a dumb question yeah yeah yeah no one really knows no one studied it yeah yeah no one took the time to study it no one knows it's all bad just shout out to magnesium for really helping me get through these periods these last couple of um months um they make it it makes it easier um so shalewa if you want to get you want to add that to the diet magnesium i may yeah i may do that i mean i'm just throwing a party for each one because i'm like this may be the last one
