Starting point is 00:00:34 that cute ass nap and i was like god is good so when you take an uber pool from that far away from your house how many people are you picking up people in the city too well to be honest i took an uber x but i was originally gonna do a pool i was gonna do the pool how much the x cost it was $40. $40. Wow. But the pool was $38. So I was like, I might as well just splurge.

Sounds like you need to get a boyfriend on the side. No, he would have been like, yo, we taking a bus. He'd be like, put your arm out. Come on, we're going hitchhike to Bushwick. Exactly.

Starting point is 00:02:26 when we forgot her name. Yeah, I was like, girl in Mystique. And then Marie was like, don't tell anybody we was in Mystique. Say we were in Saks. Say you saw us in Saks.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Niggas know that we will not be in Saks unless somebody gifted us some shit. Well, maybe somebody was gifting me some stuff. You know, we verified now. Oh, true.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Okay, blue checks. Blue checks. Blue checks, baby. Blue checks, not bringing in no checks. Blue checks, no checks. Wave check, no check. All right, it's hot in here, and I feel like it's too many people at the table. Okay, wait.
Starting point is 00:02:58 I'm supposed to ignore them. Right, right. So what were you an expert in this week? I was an expert at forgetting people's names. You see, I'm just trying to keep it moving. That's what you do. That's what you do. That's what I do.
Starting point is 00:03:07 What were you an expert in? And I was an expert in supporting my friend. And I bought an extra ticket for my girlfriend. And mind you, the ticket, I thought it was a ticket, but it was. Did you buy an extra ticket for your girlfriend? I bought a ticket for her. Because Adrienne said you made her Venmo you the money. I did not.
Starting point is 00:03:23 For her ticket. She sent me the money, but I didn't ask for it. But did you take it? Did you take the money? I didn't ask for the money. Okay, see, so then you didn't, okay, wow. Anyway. You facilitated the ticket.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Back at the ranch, it was not a ticket to get into the Apollo. It was a parking ticket for Apollo. How much did you pay for this ticket? $27. That shit is, Apollo is a scam. The show. Was the show $27? I don't know, but they scammed me.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I have the ticket to show you. It's just a parking ticket. The parking ticket is $15. And then there was some kind of fee that made it $27. And I just needed to get it. Nah, you bought the insurance for the parking. That's what happened. You know, you got to read these things before you hit confirm.
Starting point is 00:04:01 I was just wanting to hurry this up. And I forwarded it to Adrienne and she didn't read it. So it's really her fault. It sounds like y'all need more books in your lives. But the good thing is, is that somebody online had two extra tickets and then we got in because you were late. Wow. Look at God. When I tell you God be providing for you, say Lord.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Good Christian gays. Good Christian gays. Speaking of good Christian gays. Speaking of gays. Our guests today. One is not gay. One is gay adjacent. No, no gay no more.

Starting point is 00:06:14 still amazed. Well, that's how we felt when we saw you on stage last night. Look at that. So we all go together. That's crazy. I think that's why we're friends. Honestly, we can't have a friend that's not doing that well. We don't have a separate group chat. Wait, can we get sis in the group chat?
Starting point is 00:06:33 I feel like you're the type that just will not even respond. Yeah, I am. You don't be sending memes. I'm the type in the group chat that will read the message and be like, and put my phone down. But you also seem like the type that maybe won't read the thing. You just like look at the preview in the notification window. And don't even open it. And then you're like, I'm going to get to it later.
Starting point is 00:06:50 What do you do? Sometimes. It just depends. Zynga, I feel like you leave people on read a lot. You got your read receipts on? No, absolutely. I actually try to be that person that is very responsive however it just
Starting point is 00:07:01 depends like if I'm during the middle of the day if you're texting me while I'm teaching I'm going to have to get to you later did you hear that folks she got it just she's teaching the youth she's teaching the youth she's a pillar of our community

Wow. Can't do dripping. Her butt's clean. She's like the cleanest person
Starting point is 00:14:10 I know. Why you putting her business out there? Her butt's clean? I just want the listeners to know my girl has water. Since you lose what you brag about.
Starting point is 00:14:18 Oh, wow. Yeah. You might want to calm down. That sounds like Abraham's wife right there. Because Portia was just on Breakfast Club and she's like,
Starting point is 00:14:25 I'm about to tell y'all about my man's stuff because that's how you... Wait, but I thought it was a storyline. Is Portia really with this man? Yeah, they're married.
Starting point is 00:14:33 She is. They serious. girl. It's for real, for real. And she's having a baby? The baby's had. No, the baby's here. Is the baby cute? Unlike our friend Amina, you have a son, right? I do. How old is he? He'll be five in June. Five in June.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Yeah, that's crazy, right? And your sister has been a great... Smart co-parent. Yeah, because you've been taking him. Yeah. So the first time I met you, I was asking Amina, I said, Amina, does your son, can he tell you guys apart? And y'all were like, yeah, he
Starting point is 00:15:02 knows his mom. But Literally, y'all walked in here and I was like, well, which one is my friend? No, it's not. As he's getting older, he's mistakenly calling me mommy now. Well, that's because you're doing a lot. You're doing a lot. You know what I'm saying? When he was younger, like he already knew.
Starting point is 00:15:15 But now he'll be like, mommy. And then be like, I meant Titi. So he does it more now. And I'm just like, it's crazy as he's getting older. But we put my son to a serious test. He can tell us apart. Taking out pictures of real babies. Really?
Starting point is 00:15:28 And my mans would sit there and be like, my mama, my Titi. Wow. I had to put that on YouTube. But Amina, it sounds like she was the skinny baby, you know? So maybe he like know which baby, the long baby. That's crazy. That's crazy that you would throw all that shade this way on a good Friday like this. Amina has actually always been the skinny twin.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Let them know, sis. So I can just, you know, give out the facts. This is the first time in life that Amina has been, well, except when she was pregnant, but in our adulthood that Amina has been bigger than me. Yeah, when I first met Amina, she was like, I felt like you were close to my size. No, we've, well, I know she's never been close. She's still talking about toddlers and tiaras. Amina was probably a size six.
Starting point is 00:16:13 She was smaller, and I thought Amina was gay. She did always have her shoulders up. You did think Amina was gay? I had gay shoulders. Very gay shoulders. Oh, wow, that's crazy. Her haircut, her gay shoulders. Honestly, when you was going through your gay thing, everybody was like, we thought it was going to be you.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Your gay time? The family said that to me. they was like oh we thought you was gonna be the gay one and i was why is that are you more of a tomboy no i honestly don't even i would have i don't know that's weird to me well you know me but i don't know maybe because i'm like a tomboy i'm always like one of the homies you know like yeah i definitely always want to give you a hug yeah like i'm all i don't know i think maybe that might be it i'd be tapping to meet up stay sharp uh so tell us a little bit about where y'all are Because you guys are a little twangy.
Starting point is 00:17:01 The listeners don't know y'all. We're from Atlanta, Georgia. Well, we actually were raised in Atlanta. So we actually were born in Rhode Island. And we moved to Atlanta. But don't tell nobody that. Don't tell nobody Rhode Island. Just say Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Well, it's part of our roots. I just want to be honest. Yeah. Wow. I be lying. Because a lot of people in Atlanta be like, you weren't born in Grady. You weren't born there.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Don't do that. And so we moved to, our family moved to Atlanta when we were three. And so out of the seven of us, we have five other siblings. we were the only one who went to public school and so that's why we have a southern accent oh so that's the miseducation of
Starting point is 00:17:36 okay cause it could all be so simple we went to school with the commoners and this is now how it sounds I'm sorry you went to school with the paupers the paupers and but you're a teacher so it's fine so you're teaching kids with this twang listen teach the babies with the DC twang
Starting point is 00:17:53 yes absolutely that are very cultured so now we yeah you could tell our southern charm off top from our beautiful accents I mean we didn't say charm it's definitely a charm sis you don't see this twinkle in my eye sis I thought those was eye boogers
Starting point is 00:18:08 I do feel like you're really good with people you think so? yeah I mean you know how to get in there you think so? yeah that's how we became friends you can automatically tell at your face you don't want to have nothing to do with nobody so that's why when people mistake you for Amina it's like
Starting point is 00:18:24 absolutely not. She is Stone Cold Austin looking at everybody like, what are you looking at? We're not doing here. Listen, we became friends because you were stalking me at my show. I need you to stop with this narrative. I gave you an opportunity for your career. Bitch, Amina, I remember
Starting point is 00:18:41 you coming to the warm up. Tell him. And I had, it was the day I met you and you were like, y'all got some time? I was like, sir, I don't know you. I was coming for my reparations. You need to let I know.

Starting point is 00:19:20 Maybe you remember it different. Yeah, well, I was just being foolish. I would come to her shows. She came to my shows a lot. She had a weekly show. And then she wanted to do comedy. Yeah. And then I gave her some time.
Starting point is 00:19:31 This is before you started doing comedy? Yeah. Was this before the titties? Oh, you had the titties. No, this was before the titties. Yeah. Flat chested? Yeah, flat chested.

Starting point is 00:23:07 That's crazy. No, but when I saw the birthday and saw you guys together, I was like, damn, I wish I had a twin. Like the bond that you guys have And the love It just can't be replaced And it's just so great to see And you guys had like matching outfits
Starting point is 00:23:23 And it was like y'all too old for this But it's fine Yeah didn't you guys Didn't you guys We didn't have matching outfits But you had the same shoes And we just so happened to have the same shoes That was actually just a coincidence
Starting point is 00:23:35 She had bought it somewhere else I bought it somewhere else And then we came together And it was like oh my god We got the same shoes But I just Even when I was in your bathroom today we use the same
Starting point is 00:23:45 everything facial wash facial wash I'm like this is not the same makeup wipes sometimes we have the same nail color
Starting point is 00:23:51 at the same time what? and it's something we have and you guys both got the same nose ready? at the same time? she used to use
Starting point is 00:23:59 Sensadine toothpaste but then she I thought she had cold paste why did you just switch because they said when you use sensitive toothpaste
Starting point is 00:24:04 it actually makes your teeth a little more sensitive yeah so that all is by coincidence yeah it's not nothing really discussed
Starting point is 00:24:10 okay well let's talk about some of the stuff that our twin stuff yeah did you guys get your piercings together we did we did yep against my mother wishes did you guys get your period at the same time no no we had two different experiences amina had it first fast you fast ass and it's also funny because my first time we were actually at a swimming meet and amina had to help me to teach me put a tampon because y'all were teaching each other how to put
Starting point is 00:24:37 tampons in my mom was going to be found well my sister was up too close no my older sister was She was supposed to teach me, and she was swimming in the water already. We was at practice. She doing back shrugs. So I had to come outside. My coach was like, hey, hey, hey, why you not in the water? And I'm over here like, I'm like, Zadia, I need assistance. What's the age difference between y'all and Zadia?
Starting point is 00:24:58 Two. Two years. Oh, okay. I love Zadia. So we kind of grew up as triplets. Yeah, that's why people only think it's just us three, but it's four more that are older than us. But it's like a 12-year difference. So that's why.
Starting point is 00:25:10 And we look different. They do. your brother definitely he's like lighter yeah I have a light skin my dad and then my mom is the darkest side
Starting point is 00:25:19 so I talk about my light skin versus my dark skin side of the family you do do that in your you did not do that I didn't do that last night I've never had dark skin oh yeah
Starting point is 00:25:26 but it's different they all ratchet it's just a different type of ratchet yeah well I know we were there we were there for the birthday and I was like oh Amina
Starting point is 00:25:34 we're her close friends yeah yeah yeah because she's letting us see a lot so much so So much. I mean, but honestly, like, my family, they chill.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Like, y'all come through. We had a good time. It's not really nothing to be, like, hiding or anything. I really think at the end of the day, we have a good... When we're together, it's actually better. It's when the family is apart. You be like, well, what the hell? Like, let's just have a family reunion so we can come back and enjoy each other.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And love each other. Yeah, but it seems like y'all are pretty close. Because you sent, like, you sent your son down to D.C. And, like, right? He goes to camp by you or with you. so like you have a really good support system
Starting point is 00:26:14 let me tell you before my son I wasn't even rocking with my family after my son that's all you were like oh yeah
Starting point is 00:26:19 thank you so much for giving me I need all y'all were you there when she gave birth I was not where were you I was actually
Starting point is 00:26:26 on the bus back to D.C. oh man we had did lunges and squats that day and I had to go to work the next day right
Starting point is 00:26:33 but he came right after she he came right after I left when she left to go to the bus I started having contractions did you come back Just at the weekend, the next weekend.
Starting point is 00:26:42 She's like, sis, the baby already coming in. The bus was not refundable. I was like, yeah. She wasn't going, and then when you buy a day of it, it'd be like $90. Right? Yeah. It's like, I'm not, I'm not doing that.
Starting point is 00:26:53 You're like, I already didn't pay $20. You be on the Pumwa bus. Yeah. But my oldest sister was there. She cut the umbilical cord. Zadia. Okay. When Amina was pregnant, how did that make you feel?
Starting point is 00:27:03 Because did you feel like, oh, look, that's me pregnant too. Kind of. Absolutely not. Amina was still walking faster than me when we were trying to catch a train it was
Starting point is 00:27:13 it was no difference at all she was still shaking and moving yeah honestly people think twins are we have a special bond
Starting point is 00:27:20 but honestly we're just like best friends that look alike right so y'all don't feel each other's pain y'all already got
Starting point is 00:27:25 the key ingredients like if you tell the person everything if they're involved in every part of your life like that's already kind of what a twin is
Starting point is 00:27:33 I don't have any friends like that I tell them everything I mean Sydney i know hey marie i try so hard i try so hard no because i feel like y'all know probably every detail about each other growing up so you don't like she has she's about you know she has her boyfriend like it's so out of man how was the transition you know you was with a woman for a
Starting point is 00:27:58 long time now you had a guy he's actually quite nice i like him yeah there was no transition needed at all. So you just want to forget about that whole ass relationship you had with a woman? Well, this is the thing. You see, this is why you straight bitches
Starting point is 00:28:11 fuck y'all. Fuck y'all. Y'all want to come over, hang out in the pool, and then when you done flipping, flopping your feet, then you're like, oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:28:19 Actually, I don't even like water. I don't even want water. Who set these boundaries? Why we can't just do what we love to do? Well, sister, first of all, when I was with my girlfriend, we still used a strap-on.
Starting point is 00:28:28 That's why I'm trying to tell you there was no transition. I feel like we're sisters now because you're telling me everything podcast just got okay she dropped that however real quick however we were strapping on
Starting point is 00:28:41 so like if you want to be honest about it you're over here taking everything personal okay let Sidney be the advocate for all lesbians so I'm going to be the advocate for people who taste the water and then you go taste the rainbow bitch
Starting point is 00:28:57 how do you taste water let me taste this hold on Yeah, and I ask Amina all the time. I'm like, girl, you don't want to try that? Ooh, this water bad. You don't want to try that? Well, it's not artisanal, but you know, it's Polish.
Starting point is 00:29:11 No, that was Amina talking about being gay. She's tasting the water, the gay water, and she's like, no, thank you. Me okay, me good. No bueno, no bueno. No bueno. It's missing something. It's missing the dick. Yeah, that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:29:26 It's pain. That's what it's missing. A hundred percent. and then when we like we were very serious so then we started talking about having kids and all this
Starting point is 00:29:33 and I'm just like I'm not paying this money when I actually liked it wow so that's what made you how long were y'all together we were together for four years
Starting point is 00:29:43 that's a long fucking time imagine Adrienne woke up tomorrow and was like that is not how it happened though but I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:29:50 okay well let's talk about it leading up to it I feel like Amina had something to say about it she was probably like come on back on over to the I was actually very
Starting point is 00:29:58 supportive during her whole time i don't i mean we give us each other judgment and feedback but it was toward the end that that's when i was like girl you gotta get up out of here yeah my girlfriend was very jealous and like she's the reason why i deleted my instagram account oh how many followers because it wasn't a lot like oh so we don't even have to mention it she said it was like 800 don't be lying listeners get my sister's numbers up now I need y'all to follow her on the ground.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I'm saying because she literally be like, how is this person following you? Why did they just like your picture? Why did you post this picture? It just sounds like she was unemployed. That's some unemployment shit. That sounds like some real
Starting point is 00:30:41 Lawrence insecure. Nina was at a comedy show one day. We were laughing at some jokes. She didn't think I should be, have been laughing at those jokes. She left us. Could you imagine performing and coming outside
Starting point is 00:30:52 and you ain't got no ride no more? You thought the show was going good. Thank God for Uber. you were like wow who are we going to get something to eat wait hold on
Starting point is 00:30:58 your ride left you yes that's domestic abuse my girlfriend at the time not my ride it was my girlfriend at the time yeah that's
Starting point is 00:31:08 domestic abuse yeah but the whole time that they were together in the beginning it just seemed like it was better than men but then after a while
Starting point is 00:31:15 I'm like girl that's the same relationship I just hate you need to let that go so your man was leaving you too I feel like dating I feel like dating women
Starting point is 00:31:24 has to be hard no I just I feel like it's a lot of emotions and feelings oh my god we going through the pads
Starting point is 00:31:32 and the tampons too fast Haitian Marie over there no emotion at all who paying the check like I just it's too complicated for you it's too much I mean honestly
Starting point is 00:31:40 when you like simple things you just keep it the way you like it I don't knock you know y'all vibes though do your thing all I know is is certain things that I miss and me being here
Starting point is 00:31:49 and I'm not getting back until Sunday evening at 11 o'clock I will come back home and all of my food is prepped for the week. He's going to rub your feet. No.
Starting point is 00:31:57 When I was with my girlfriend, all of my food was prepped for the week. I had my Brussels sprouts, my salad, my chicken grilled, my mushrooms, everything.
Starting point is 00:32:05 So I feel as though with that woman intuition, I was like, Marie, I'm planning to get me a little food. I will say with the women intuition, we know our needs.
Starting point is 00:32:15 And so that was the one thing that I do appreciate. I feel like now I have to advocate more and be very communicative about what it is that I need and I have to be
Starting point is 00:32:25 very clear and concise whereas when I was with my girlfriend it was a lot of things that I didn't have to voice because I must not be gay because I be like
Starting point is 00:32:33 I don't remember or feel nothing that's just my experience of course everybody's experiences are different I mean I don't think Adrienne's ever left you at a comedy club
Starting point is 00:32:41 no she would never no but Sydney you have Karen Park for you but she do be prepping stuff and we be having food for the week the Instacart
Starting point is 00:32:48 if she wasn't doing that I feel like you would just eat out I feel like she kind of reels you in a little bit And be like, today we doing broccoli Oh, I forgot to bring Oh, she has the ice cream for you Oh, and I brought you a Biscoff
Starting point is 00:33:01 From Thailand You know they sell it at Walgreens, right? So you saying Thailand, but it's from Thailand Did you hear the twist? She been getting Biscoff all this whole year I'm bringing Thailand Biscoff It's the same dryer shortbread cookie Shut up, Marie
Starting point is 00:33:16 Don't stop it I should have brought one for Marie, my boss My mouth is dry just thinking about it Before you met your girlfriend Did you and Amina Have similar types in people you like? No, and it was weird She would be in a relationship, I wouldn't be in one
Starting point is 00:33:33 I would be in a relationship It's like twins can only handle one relationship at a time I think so too And we actually, when we went to Twins Day, which is in Twinsburg, Ohio Tell the listeners what that is Explain the whole scenario
Starting point is 00:33:47 It's just where all sets of twins come Like quintuplets, what is it? It's like a festival for any doubles, any pairs, any pairs or multiples. That's what it was. Any pairs or multiples. So the name of the town is Twinsburg, Ohio, because it was two twins that died at the same time. It was like one was a mayor. It's like a real weird story.
Starting point is 00:34:11 You know, maybe somebody fact check it for me. But it was like two brothers and then they died in the same place at the same time. So they named it The place after that Since did somebody Make a show out of this We can make this a pilot Okay
Starting point is 00:34:22 We get some hints On MTV Remember when they used to do My Life or something like that Oh okay True Life It was True Life And it was two twins
Starting point is 00:34:31 Who were going there To search for twin boyfriends Because they only wanted To date twins There's couples like that And then they get pregnant At the same time They get married on the same day
Starting point is 00:34:40 What about the twins That play tennis And they live together They share the same bank account They're like double tennis players I would like that and they live in the same house so we're the opposite of that
Starting point is 00:34:51 because when we went it was these two twins that were like hey you guys and we were like yeah you know I think we've always
Starting point is 00:34:57 actually tried to be different yeah we actually went to Twinsburg with different outfits and Ellen and Helen bullied us 80 year old ladies
Starting point is 00:35:07 and was like I can't believe y'all came here not as twins y'all need to have the same nail polish shoes so we had to go shopping and rearrange everything
Starting point is 00:35:14 she twin shamed y'all yeah she really did where'd y'all go we went to Rainbow she wasn't gonna say it don't tell her I mean it's like
Starting point is 00:35:24 it's like sophomores in college like come on it was okay but we did we had to get those pictures all the time
Starting point is 00:35:30 but why would y'all go to Twinsburg to experience that and not bring a single matching thing you know what it is when we grew up from the minute
Starting point is 00:35:37 we always had to dress alike and I think after a while we went through this thing in middle school where I had like cut her face
Starting point is 00:35:43 out of all my photos oh my god Did you accidentally cut your own face out of one of the clothes? No, I knew exactly what I was doing. And so. With them lefty scissors. The scissors that be like turning a little bit. I'm precise with the scissors even till this day.
Starting point is 00:35:57 I know. I mean to be cutting things. And you know it's a Polaroid too. So it's thick. It had layers. And so after that, especially like we wanted our own friends. We just kind of, we needed that distance to make a healthy connection for ourselves. We were tired of being the twins.
Starting point is 00:36:13 it's always the twins you're not seen as two people you're always seen as one they would call you guys the twins when did y'all
Starting point is 00:36:20 stop dressing alike because I feel like parents like that like my mom used to dress me I want to say maybe 6th grade yeah middle school
Starting point is 00:36:28 we probably didn't dress alike but then high school we started getting back into our love high school we found it was cute to be twins so we kind of
Starting point is 00:36:35 y'all started getting friends y'all were wearing crop tops the thin belt and the G-unit sneakers that was our social status clap hands
Starting point is 00:36:42 at that point y'all was wearing Echo? Yes. No, we actually were not wearing Echo. However, we would have. Okay, so Echo adjacent. Yeah, we weren't fortunate to be wearing name brand.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I didn't have no Marshalls in Atlanta. There we are. Because that's where I got mine. I don't want my mom to go with you. Marsh Exposed, maybe. And then my dad would go take us and give us gift cards to The Gap. What's wrong with The Gap? The Gap is cute.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Pull a little button down for some slacks. Now, because we're adults, but in high school, what, you wearing knits in the homeroom? Slacks. Jackies I don't know We're gonna put you On a nice flannel
Starting point is 00:37:16 In the Atlanta City School A cardigan I don't see what The problem is A kerchief Where did you grow up Sydney I told you
Starting point is 00:37:24 Oakland, California And then I moved To New York Which I was wearing In Oakland Oh bikies Not Nikes Bikies
Starting point is 00:37:32 Those were your shoes I think that's A different culture Like back home It's like It's like hood rich You feel me Yeah so it's like
Starting point is 00:37:39 Labels That's why like Feli Yeah, that's what the people... I grew up with war, but I wasn't... My parents weren't buying me that stuff either. So when I went to a Marshalls or a TJ Maxx or a Quota Sale somewhere,
Starting point is 00:37:52 it was like, look, look at my Echo. My one name brand thing. But see, that's you as one. It's two of us. And now we gotta come together to get two of the same. We need two. And then it was three of us, so my mom really went shopping for us like that, and we swam. So we did a lot of sports, and our money
Starting point is 00:38:07 really went to those activities, because swimming is expensive. But swimming paid for college. My mama did it right. She did. She baby. Baby. Scholarship.
Starting point is 00:38:19 When Amina, okay, so it was at your 30th birthday party when Amina was, I learned that y'all had went to Howard on swim scholarships. Did you hear that listeners? Repeat it one more time.
Starting point is 00:38:28 They went to Howard on a swim scholarship. Niggas made me win. I didn't even know Howard had a swim team, sis. That's how impressed I was. We didn't know neither until they wrote that check.
Starting point is 00:38:36 How much are you? I think I can do this. That's insane. So what, did you guys ever have to swim for each other? Like as each other? I paid a zinger to swim for me. How much? You made her pay you?
Starting point is 00:38:50 No, because it was events you don't want to do, long distance, stuff that you don't want to do. So I'm like, yo, I throw you $20 to hit this 200 brush stroke. Our coach used to make us swim everything. And it's like, we're not good at everything. And so he's just like, it's training. Either way, you'll get better. and so we've switched up
Starting point is 00:39:08 before because no one could tell us apart with a swimming cap and the same swimming suit so I'd be like swim this and then
Starting point is 00:39:14 she'd be like swim this no really so we would interchange our events but then it would be events where I would only have
Starting point is 00:39:19 so then I'm like sis like what I gotta do for you to swim this wait am I being gross like what isn't like they can't tell
Starting point is 00:39:27 your face but your body right no our bodies were very identical like y'all had the same butts we had broad shoulders
Starting point is 00:39:33 we had the same shape so if you guys took your tops off right now are you gonna have the same boobs well she's had a baby and we don't swim anymore
Starting point is 00:39:40 you're disgusting Zynga said nah my body's still tight sis she's coming with so much new gay energy what is this new gay energy she's like energy
Starting point is 00:39:51 both of y'all gonna pull your like we're at a podcast where no one can fucking see us calm down Sydney got her tits out take your shirt off
Starting point is 00:39:58 oh sis don't do that don't act like I didn't see some stuff in this scene she did see some stuff you lived in the past and i was like oh amina i know what you look like now oh my goodness no um but when we were younger we both had like broad shoulders boxy shapes no hips so it wasn't like we weren't fully developed
Starting point is 00:40:17 like it wasn't like that so you couldn't tell us apart my coach nobody could tell it my mama come out there blind like which one is which go amina no that's a zinger swimming some like so a stranger would have to tell her that's in zinger swimming it says it in the heat sheet your mama like well i forgot my reading glasses at the house so i couldn't really tell exactly we used to play tricks on my mom all the time like what so she would come back in the room and i put on the same outfit and come back to see if my mom peep and she it's only one person who knows us sharp and it's my auntie my aunt debbie really yes on the phone and everything oh no our aunt debbie she's been battling cancer for some years now so she wasn't able to make it to her 30th
Starting point is 00:40:58 birthday. But we love her dearly. That's like my homie. Does she have any Venmo? Oh. Do y'all make a lot of money from just saying? The way that Sydney's talking, it seems like we make no money. Let me be very clear about what my cash app was.
Starting point is 00:41:14 But my line is about to say, y'all can just send me the Venmo. Yeah, Amina's gonna, they're gonna twin, they're gonna share it. I'm gonna make sure my auntie see it. you see this jacket i got on this for you auntie wait can that be merch this one's for you
Starting point is 00:41:41 they don't stop they did not stop this is what i'm saying like from the beginning i'm like oh i was not ready yeah we're just rude being anyone up there we were like okay i was surprised y'all Okay, we hopped in a Honda, a 1996. What was we driving in? It barely had AC. It felt like a Camry. Yeah. And we came and we did our due.
Starting point is 00:42:05 We had a good time. I had a great time. I think that's when we bonded, huh? Yeah, well, when I saw all your family, I was like, oh, I love family-oriented people. They usually come from good places. Even though I know I saw your family, I was like, oh, they down to earth. You know? Down to earth.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Quote, quote. They got their toes out. yeah no it was cool um i would i don't think my family could ever come together that way because too many people don't like too many people yeah and my mom is like well if i'm not talking i'm not talking to you because you said in 1978 like my mom is like not like that but like my when my my mom and dad's my dad's family don't like my mom oh really okay so when my brother was born they were being shady to my mom and she was like well i remember yeah i remember that wow that's And, you know, my family will never meet up because I don't want to see them niggas.
Starting point is 00:42:58 That's real. They can meet up, but I won't see them. Right. You're not going to go to the reunion or nothing? What is that? What is a reunion? So you don't talk to like your cousins and nothing like that? I mean, I missed a funeral when I was in L.A.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Oh, yes. I forgot to follow up about that. Yeah. I mean, I missed the funeral and I did feel bad about it, but I was like, I don't want to be in the hole going to a funeral. Like, I would be missing out on the things that I was doing in L.A. and I also didn't have enough money to go to Oakland. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:26 I gotta spend money to go to a funeral? I need this money to live, baby. That's usually how funerals work, though, sis. You send your condolences. Right, I understand that, but if you don't have it, you don't have it. Oh, yeah, no, that's true. Yeah, but I fucked up.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I should have called and been like, hey, I'm not coming, but I was like, she's already dealing with so much stuff. I didn't want to be like, hey, I'm not coming while you're doing it. You sent a text? You still want to do that, though, because it means something. Did you send flowers or anything?
Starting point is 00:43:48 You didn't send no flowers? No. Wow. I had all my money tied up. Cindy, go ahead and drop your Venmo so they can get you some money for these flowers. For these flowers. No, she lost her family. It's done.

Starting point is 00:44:16 Well, Amina was like, sis, if you really need money, let me know. I did. I offered and you was not receiving and I ain't begging nobody to take my money you know what I'm saying you get it I ask you one time and honestly the other time is half it's not even a real ask cause I heard you say no the first time

Starting point is 00:45:19 I had to pull Nzinga over to the dark side I used to go through Nzinga old clothes to where's my new clothes but now Nzinga's wearing her own old clothes I think regular people just call them clothes they're not called old clothes they're just called
Starting point is 00:45:35 clothes there is a difference between outside clothes and house clothes now there's a difference you have something wrong with you You thought you were so full of stuff for the right name. She tried to throw a however at you. However, now she wears her old clothes.
Starting point is 00:45:55 That just means she's not handing them down to you no more. So you got to go out and get your own new clothes. I know y'all know the difference between new clothes and old clothes. I don't know what you're talking about. They're just called clothes. Her clothes were new and now they're used to be old. And now she's still wearing the old clothes. They're only old if you bring them to like a thrift shop and somebody else gets them.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Secondhand. they're old after you wash them and it's two different colors the blacks don't match this is charcoal and this is noir it was purple and now it's pink you're being shady

Starting point is 00:47:06 for a boomerang yes please they're there I'm not gonna say they not there but they Thriving? Peezy.
Starting point is 00:47:14 I can't. Well, that being said, Amina has shaved her head. So, you know, it's back now. Amina was doing top knots a couple months ago. I said, Amina. She put it all in a boop. Edges are necessary. Sisters, have you guys had a falling out before?
Starting point is 00:47:34 Absolutely. What's the longest y'all have ever gone without speaking to each other? Was that five weeks? Yeah, I think a month. to a month and a half now almost yeah what happened isn't gonna throw my money because because you paid her to swim and she didn't we moved in together and i paid half of the deposit she paid half i move out i'm like what my half a deposit oh i'm gonna give it to you when i move out she move out i ain't never see the half of the deposit how long after you did she move out
Starting point is 00:47:59 it don't even matter i just realized like sis where my money and she didn't have it forgot how long after you left to be honest who forgets to pay somebody they deposit you forget what's the time difference is what I'm saying. Yeah. A day. Okay? That's what it was. I don't know. Well, then she stole your money. It was only a day. I don't remember what it was, but I... It's so funny because, you know, when there's always three
Starting point is 00:48:19 stories. Okay. Three sides to the story. Thank you so much. What's your side? I honestly don't recall. So, it's funny to hear that you say... She definitely stole their money. Did somebody say they don't recall? You remember she used it to buy old clothes. Yeah. However... However she passed
Starting point is 00:48:35 to you so you got your money i'm like okay no but our fallen outs are have been about money though yeah it's been pretty intense well amina you're very specific about the way your money is handled i don't know if it's you're the type that will on venmo ask for your five dollars that i i guess used or something like that i don't know i owed you five dollars and you were and you requested the five dollars like the day after i'll see nothing wrong i mean that's kind of how that works is there more to the story that was it five dollars we're gonna be petty about five dollars no but you say that but if every time i lend you five dollars you don't pay me back at the end of the year it's like dude that's nine hundred dollars or whatever it might be 25 i'm all about
Starting point is 00:49:20 setting habits and relationships okay that's bullshit that being said you should have given her the money as soon as she moved out because you were going to get the full deposit when you as you can see as we're sitting here now we've moved past it our bond is even stronger that means Amina got some of the old clothes
Starting point is 00:49:34 yeah she got some no she ended up giving me my money but we do be falling out most of the time it's money so that's why we
Starting point is 00:49:41 I think we eliminate that and we're good or trips you bitches be tripping I do be tripping and it's gonna be canceling but now we just have an understanding
Starting point is 00:49:48 of she's not coming yeah she got a job dude she not a comedian but it wasn't cause of that I mean we just sometimes we're both bullheaded
Starting point is 00:49:56 we're also tourists yeah So the thing about it is we're very stubborn. And it's been times where Amina's the more dominant one. So I'm more passive. So I'll just let... Which times? Well, I'm just saying in our relationship, yeah, our 32 years of living, majority of
Starting point is 00:50:17 the time, I'll just be like, okay, and let Amina win. And then sometimes I boss up and be like, no, sis, it's not how we going. And then like, that's how it is. I know, but I always pull bad cards. It gets messy. So I pull out my guns and I'm like, and it's over. It can get pretty ugly.
Starting point is 00:50:36 And I think our family at this point knows. Yeah, they don't even. And then the crazy thing is like one second we could just be going off and then the next minute we skipping down the street. So that's why you can't even talk shit. Yeah, don't even get, don't even. No one needs to get involved and do not pick a side.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Because if you do. And when you pick a side, you going to be lost in the sauce and we gonna be skipping down the street and that's exactly how me and Marie work as well
Starting point is 00:51:00 don't you dare pick sides is it Marie I just wanted to make sure with you the last time she said something you didn't necessarily agree
Starting point is 00:51:07 get y'all twin shit together I mean listen I was born in the 90s Sidney I don't know what year Sidney came out but I
Starting point is 00:51:15 feel like was not the same decade as me wow I mean I'm just gonna I'm gonna leave that right there on the table
Starting point is 00:51:23 for the table shade for the table bastard but i feel like for the most part like we were we know what we're here to do so like we're on the same side in terms of that um but like we'll bump heads with each other about stuff but if some other random person comes in he's like well i don't really think sitting and i'll be like yeah you don't think what yeah right huh or you let them finish and then i'll be like sydney oh don't you love that when somebody's talking shit and they're like you better not say anything and you're like already texting i would never that's why i don't say none of them one of them
Starting point is 00:51:55 about i'll tell you and sing yeah but out of all of our years i literally feel like only two people have come to me trying to talk about amina because people already know don't even try and i call her and i laugh and i'm like yeah she said don't say nothing but that's like yeah right that's the minute that's the second she told me yeah right after that like when when someone says don't tell nobody they should they should also be like except amina but like you know what i mean like when I agree. Right. When someone says to me, don't tell nobody, I be like, Sydney.
Starting point is 00:52:24 But as we're getting older, though, it's certain things, it's kind of like, if I'm frustrated about it, I'll tell you. But most of the times when someone do come to me, you know, as like confiding in me, I respect that. But I'm saying, like, there's actually been a time that someone came talking about Amina and was like, please don't tell Amina. And I'm just like, oh, okay. Even with our family, it's like, even my mama can't call me and talk about this thing because
Starting point is 00:52:48 she don't know about that conversation. I'm calling her right after we get off the phone girl let me tell you about your mama oh that's what siblings do though I've been talking to my sister I've been like call your mom call your mom she looking for you your mother said this don't tell her I told you
Starting point is 00:53:02 but my thing with my sister is I hate when I have news that I want to share with my mom and she shares that news first like she just be like well Maria just booked and I be like come on right and then you wanted to see your mom's face But my mother's kind of a cartoon character about it.
Starting point is 00:53:20 She'd be pretending to be shocked, but she knows. She'd be like, oh, wow. And then what happened? The show got canceled. Wait, she told your mom? No, I told my mom. But she was an example. And what did your mom say?
Starting point is 00:53:36 I didn't even get the tea on that. After my TV show got canceled, my mom was like, you'll be fine. Go get another job. She's not paying none of my bills, so what does she care about? you know she just as long as i'm happy and i'm out here not doing terrible tv shows no more i win yes right yes yes yes it's so hot in here it is i think it's your sweatshirt yeah i don't have a shirt on i don't have a sweatshirt you fool i was gonna say it's your deodorant let me see them crystals shut the fuck up
Starting point is 00:54:05 it's just it's all that hot twin energy when y'all were getting ready to go to college did you guys want to go to the same place or did y'all think uh let's split up our separate ways we wanted to stay together oh i didn't want to go to the same college with you oh wow talking about this no i didn't want to swim remember i went through a phase where i isn't you were doing so well until we were in college no isn't it was prior to i applied to xavier brown's i've applied to schools that didn't even have a swim team you said man this must have been in your head. We're not on the same page with this. It's not on my head. Zynga, you were doing so well in swimming
Starting point is 00:54:43 and I had plateaued and it was just like, what's the point? But then it came. What happened? No, sometimes in swimming, you peak and you just plateau and you could go the same few years during the same exact time and it was just getting frustrating. And the whole
Starting point is 00:54:59 time, sis over here, just PR-ing 0.2 seconds off the Olympic trials and I was just like, you know what? Honestly, it might not be meant for me. And that's when I was just like, I'm going to go to school. school but when the coach said when my coach sat us down when my coach sat us down and told me like this is a job this is how much money i'm gonna get go to howard and i was like okay say no more so then we were together but before that i was just swimming was like i was getting dumb wow
Starting point is 00:55:24 you're learning something yeah you think you know somebody yeah i mean you think you know like i said it's always three sides to a story i mean we could call your coach he he's here actually every show we bring out somebody like in the hallway you were talking shit speaking of your coach but it was good that we went we realized i think especially in college we value being a twin because it was just such a safe space that we get to you when you experience new things with someone it just brings a whole nother comfort so being on that big campus away from home. It was nothing that we couldn't tackle. We was on a track training
Starting point is 00:56:01 together and practice together. Yeah, we did good. I had to force her to come to practice and stuff. Yeah. Speaking of experiences, if you guys can find it in your heart to Venmo me and Marie so we can do experiences together, that would be great. Yo, Sydney, you sound like
Starting point is 00:56:17 a homeless man. The way that you ask for money on the podcast now, you sound like, excuse me, ladies, gentlemen. I be joking half of the time until they sent her money no i mean when i've lost my tooth people were sending me money and when i got when i got arrested people were sending oh my god your life is a crime no but sydney came through when the clutch when they stole my coat yes oh let's talk about that sister sister i came through amina had just bought a new coat uh michael kors coat that i
Starting point is 00:56:54 was like really that's what you're spending your coins on first of all it's cold in new york you want to make a nice michael kors though well it was on sale i was at it was like macy's michael kors okay so i mean that's the only michael kors that i feel like i know so uh you got this new coat went to a comedy show set the coat down didn't even think performed performed came back coat gone i still can't believe it what were you wearing underneath the coat that you left in like a t-shirt because that's how warm the coat is so it's 20 degrees outside you put this coat on a halter top one tube top look y'all think i'm joking i had this sheer shit you got on right now underneath that coat and that coat was gone i was stunned i couldn't believe it it took a minute for
Starting point is 00:57:38 me to process do you think an audience member took it or a comedian you know what it was so many coats thrown down there that i would have took my coat too i'm not even gonna hold yeah but that means but there was no coat there though it was another coat there that i did not want so whoever took my coat left a raggedy coat yeah but that's a new coat for you friend that's your old clothes is somebody new exactly exactly yeah i wanted my michael kors clothes wait anyway so that happened amina hit sydney up and said someone stole my coat and sid came through the rescue sydney said i am going to she posted about it on facebook i posted the jacket and i posted you without a jacket
Starting point is 00:58:17 on in the streets and I photoshopped a jacket back on you. That was real love by the way. Real love. I was like And I woke up the next day
Starting point is 00:58:26 with money for two coats. You hear that? Amina bought two coats. I mean you could have bought a coat and then like some shoes and a bag or something.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Well apparently I needed them two coats because the second coat got stolen. Got stolen. You just can't stop. Amina. You can't stop
Starting point is 00:58:42 won't stop. You get your shit stolen. The way I perform now I keep my stuff at an eye's distance it's so annoying if I don't know your first and last name
Starting point is 00:58:50 and your address you cannot watch my stuff I just can't do it I know I saw you posted a photo the other day your purse was on I was dead
Starting point is 00:58:58 she circled it and people are like you want me home I don't know I only know your Instagram name get out my face imagine
Starting point is 00:59:05 it's like underscore Mike Torres is it Mikey Torres Torres is it is there a dollar sign instead of an S
Starting point is 00:59:14 hashtag funny James yeah but you know what for me I was like man I would hope somebody would do this for me one day but I don't lose my coat you did leave a bar in someone else's coat though once
Starting point is 00:59:30 I did and you left your coat at the bar I did and the coat was not the same size no it was not I don't know why it gotta happen did you return the coat of course that coat was dingy mine was not I put it on and got all the way home.
Starting point is 00:59:46 She called me. I was crying. I was screaming. Sydney, I love that. We didn't get to talk about our twin stuff that we, the crimes we committed. What? Okay. We'll talk about some of the crimes.
Starting point is 00:59:56 We got a little bit of time. Remember I took your final, isn't it? You was texting me the answers. Is that what you're complaining about? Why you cut your eyes at Sydney? Because she was quitting as if she didn't know we could. I took a drug test for you, my dear. Because she's a teacher.
Starting point is 01:00:07 So this is weird. Yeah. And I worked as you. We should really dig up. We can't. Because that's the statute of limitations. That's over. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Come on, friend. What's the statue? In what state? Exactly. I don't even know. We in New York now. What time zone did you pee in that cup? So you had a drug test and you made her pee for you?
Starting point is 01:00:25 Or she went as you? I went as her. No, I mean, I had to go take my drug test for me. Because she had just smoked or something, but I did what I had to do. Was it really smoking? Yeah. Yeah. That was it.
Starting point is 01:00:34 What you thought it was? You know, Cindy got a lot of white friends. Yeah. She thought it was cocaine. We grew up as athletes, so our bodies were cherished as a tool for us. Temples. So, yeah, so we didn't really play. These bodies paid for college.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Right, but you didn't have some trash dick inside. So don't even come for me like that. I was talking about the past. That's the present. But you can still get a job after having trash dick in you. You can't get a job. Can you? Not if the dick is bumpy and you burn it at work.
Starting point is 01:01:05 If the dick is dirty and it hurts to pee, you got to leave work. In which case, you know, you're going to lose those hours. I'm not doing this for y'all. I'll never forget. Zynga came home one day, and she was like, I'm about to quit my job. And I was like, no, you not. I need a job. So just like those old clothes became my new clothes.
Starting point is 01:01:24 My old job became her new job. So you started working? What was the job? A lifeguard. A year and a half I worked as in Zynga. That's insane. And she would call me and be like, oh, my God. I saw my name.
