i i emailed my psychiatrist i said i think i need to up my meds and uh and and he was like this is

that you um should not be trying to suppress or feel nothing um it's about managing your feelings
and i said oh you still doing your job over there okay thank you i'll be looking for someone else
thanks
um all right let me just do mine's real quick i was an expert and i thought i had covet
and uh just keeping it keeping it 1000 and you know i at first i was like i don't need to share
this but i said let me share because maybe it'll have everyone sit down a little bit
scootney is fully standing up listening to this right now scootney has not came in our dms
he wrote that shit on itunes and then he unsubscribed he was so upset wait we're
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.
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.
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.
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.
We still on me without...
With all of that that just went transpired.
You still worried about me.
You see that?
Do you hear that?
Are y'all hearing that right now?
This is every freaking week.
Now it's on airplane mode.
And you know what?
You got to start sending the team your avail, sis.
You got to tell them not to FaceTime you at noon.
Speaking of every single week, every single week we sometimes have a guess.
Sometimes we don't.
This week we do.
Look at that.
Look at God.
Shut up.
Look at God, we have a guest this week.
And I'm so excited because, again, one of my favorite people, comedian, writer, all things of amazingness.
She will be here talking about cleanliness, cleaning, all things not nasty.
Alabaster people, please listen and take notes.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
