Shun (01:41.662)
Ladies, why don't you introduce yourself? Tiana, you go first. Because she's an old pro. She's a returning guest. So we'll let Tiana go first.

Shannon (01:46.942)
Hehehehe

Tiana (01:49.102)
All right, my name is Tiana. I'm 42 years old. I have one daughter who's 20. She's in her third year of college. And I am a single and now empty nester.

Shannon (02:02.878)
Oh wow. Awesome. Ha ha ha.

Shun (02:03.721)
Okay fellas, y'all heard it. Okay. Should I run it down?

char (02:06.907)
I am Charlotte Smith, 48, single. I'm not a single nester. I was for two years. Oh, it was so great. But she's back home. And it's just us two, just me and my baby. But we all right.

Shun (02:18.72)
Hehehehehehehehe

Shannon (02:18.83)
Yeah. Okay.

Shun (02:24.674)
That's all right. All right, Shannon you ready girl?

Shannon (02:24.937)
All right.

Shannon (02:29.51)
I'm ready. I can't wait to hear.

Shun (02:31.07)
audience y'all ready These are two women similar status as you heard both bosses honey They left that part out both were grown gorgeous daughters in their 20s They ain't got no babies crying, you know waking up breaking the date and they're open to new adventures with mr. Right? Okay, however Tiana seems to think during our bedding for the interview She seems to think that one of the good ones can come as a package with small kids, but miss Shar said

Shannon (02:39.486)
I'm gonna go.

Shannon (02:45.122)
Hehehehe

Shun (02:59.254)
Baby miss me with it. Okay, so Tiana went first on the intro So sure you go first to the audience and tell us why it's a no for you At this point of your life

Shannon (03:00.482)
Ha ha

char (03:02.784)
I'm going to go ahead and turn it over to you. Thank you.

I know. Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't want to do that. That's not what I want to do. I don't. I don't want to be with nobody that has to go get kids from school. You know, my daughter's grown, so they should have grown kids. It's I'm at the age where we supposed to be enjoying life, not chasing a little kids around.

Shun (03:13.935)
I'm sorry.

Shannon (03:18.761)
Okay.

Shannon (03:29.818)
So it's just about the age of the kids. It has nothing to do with any baby mama drama. Oh, okay.

char (03:35.512)
That too, that too, all of that. Yeah, it's so many. We can be on this phone all night because there's so much, but yeah, I don't, mm-mm. I rather your kids, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Shun (03:47.958)
Get somebody else to do it.

Okay, so Tiana now this is why it's great and I'm so happy you guys are here together because we could have did a show With sharp with you, but it's great to hear the opposing opinions in one in one setting So why is it okay with you Tiana? You don't mind picking the babies up to school. Tell us why

Tiana (03:52.354)
Yes.

Tiana (04:06.481)
You know why I thought that I would have a house full of kids and I don't? And so I'm actually okay with him having smaller children. Maybe I'll get that opportunity again. I don't necessarily see myself having another child.

Shun (04:11.56)
Wow.

Tiana (04:24.722)
Although I'm not closed off to that either. But I wouldn't mind having more kids and doing the small kid thing again. And I don't necessarily feel like it has to be drama. I think it could be, and I think we probably are in those situations where it has been, but I don't know if that's the, if that has to be the rule.

Shun (04:24.972)
Okay.

Shun (04:43.116)
Okay. Absolutely.

Shannon (04:47.766)
Right, right. Yeah, there definitely can be, yeah.

Shun (04:47.901)
Okay.

Tiana (04:49.03)
You know, like, sure, I think he could be like, what if the wife died? I mean, there's so many situations.

char (04:54.982)
And now, well, Tiana, you know, well, no, because let me tell you, I was in a relationship for over 20 years. So I raised four kids, I'm done. You know, everybody's grown.

Shun (04:57.87)
He needs help, Shire. He needs help, Shire.

Shannon (05:08.246)
You're done. Yeah.

Shun (05:08.814)
Got it.

char (05:10.832)
Your wife passed away. Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm not. It's not in me. It's not in me, Tiana. I'll wait and, you know, like, you know, some of them eventually, I'm not even ready for them to have grandkids, you know, I'm not even ready for them to have kids yet. But I mean, if they do, you know, I'll have to step in and do my part. But that's yeah. But when I want to, you know, you got this not living in grandma house. No.

Shun (05:18.203)
and send him some flowers.

Shun (05:26.394)
Okay.

Shannon (05:28.302)
Okay.

Shun (05:32.814)
Grandma duties.

Shannon (05:34.73)
Right, right.

char (05:40.276)
Ha ha

Shun (05:42.818)
Well, you ladies know I've been raising kids since I could walk So, of course I quite naturally am okay with little ones, right? however if I had to choose to be a mother of a six-year-old almost 50 and I knew I would get my exact same son I Wouldn't do it. I would do it years earlier. I Would do it years early our problems I mean, I guess that's a beauty though of not being in control of every aspect of our lives, right? The beautiful surprise this guy gives us, you know because who?

Shannon (06:08.695)
Bye.

Shun (06:11.554)
Would choose Frank at 48 like come on. Yeah, I'll know him who would do that to themselves But the joy he brings is unmatched, you know And but I'm honestly tell you it would been a note for me if God had a presented that to me Would you like to have that son? You've always wanted at 42. I'd have been like, thank you Lord. Appreciate you. But no, I'm straight I'm straight being a girl mom. Okay, so I get it, you know, I guess if we have a choice But again, the beautiful surprises are there for a reason, you know, Frank gives me something

Shannon (06:14.819)
I'm sorry.

char (06:15.164)
I'm sorry.

Shannon (06:29.494)
Hehehehe

Shannon (06:33.034)
Right, right.

Shun (06:41.09)
Frank actually saved my marriage. So I guess, you know, we all have, they all have their purposes.

Tiana (06:47.359)
Mm-hmm.

char (06:48.136)
Yeah, now I do wish I had more children, but I didn't. Once my daughter got to the age of eight, I just couldn't do it. I was like, no, Charay, she knows how to do everything. I didn't feel like with the car seat and all of that, all over again. I do wish I would have did it when she was younger, two, three. So I do wish I had more kids, but when she got eight years old, I knew it was over.

Shannon (06:48.159)
Right.

Shannon (06:56.234)
Yeah, yeah.

Shun (06:57.498)
I'm sorry.

Shannon (06:59.522)
All right.

Shannon (07:05.07)
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Tiana (07:09.792)
Mm-hmm.

Shannon (07:09.89)
Right.

Shun (07:11.795)
Yeah.

char (07:16.828)
I didn't want to start over again.

Shannon (07:17.758)
Yeah, yeah, and I can understand that.

Tiana (07:18.746)
Wow.

Shun (07:19.318)
And so she raised what Shire 24? You said you said you still tall and that thing go ahead. She and she's still on business with that. Go ahead.

char (07:22.004)
24, yeah, she's 24.

Shannon (07:28.82)
No, I mean, I can understand a bit because, you know, like with me and my husband, of course, our children are grown. So we do get to do a lot of things that, you know, people with young younger children cannot do. Not to say one is better than the other. If he would have had young children, I would have been fine either way. But I do enjoy that we can jump up.

you know, at the spur of the moment, jump on a plane and go to Las Vegas or, you know, wherever we feel like whatever is, you know, on our mind for the weekend or whatever, you can jump up and do that. But I do sometimes miss having, you know, a house full of people. Now, my husband does have grandchildren. I unfortunately do not. I don't know why. My son, I'm like, oh, Lord.

Shun (07:56.725)
Mm-hmm.

Tiana (07:58.46)
Okay.

Shannon (08:19.954)
I'm like, I know he's not that careful, so I'm not sure what's going on there. But anyway, that's not historic. But.

Shun (08:20.174)
That's it.

Shun (08:26.318)
You and I both, I and Jay, like, come on, dude. Like, we're dependent on you. Like, come on.

Shannon (08:29.774)
Oh, exactly, exactly. Where are the grand babies? But my husband has them, but we don't see them that often. So I don't mind having them over. And he was very, very surprised that I was accepting because his previous wives, ex-wives, they didn't want anything to do with his kids or his grandkids, you know. They...

Shun (08:34.627)
Hehehehehehe

Tiana (08:40.034)
Hmm.

Shannon (08:56.914)
They made it all about him and I'm like nah, it ain't all about you dude, you know, I love you to death But I also i'm a people person meaning Family, I love having family over cooking big dinners and doing all that for you know people that come around Um, so my question is char if you met the perfect Package though when I say perfect meaning Finance is great, you know

Look is great, just all those things, but he just happened to have a couple of kids under the age of 10. You mean you're saying you would walk away.

char (09:36.445)
If I found out he had, I would have to know he had kids, like we would have to be in something and then it come up. You can't tell me you got the kids. That's not happening.

Shannon (09:47.124)
Up front, okay, can't say it up front.

Shun (09:49.922)
He had the sneaker

Tiana (09:51.614)
Sneak it in, sneak it on you.

char (09:53.04)
No, it's not happening. We was just out to a dinner.

Shun (09:55.76)
Okay, fellas, so if you're like kids y'all got kids y'all gotta y'all gotta Whoa her like you gotta get it take over the top and spring it on her like you can't be honest up front No, miss

char (10:00.756)
Hahaha

Shannon (10:02.254)
Bye.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

char (10:06.344)
We was at a restaurant as of recent Shannon and the chef came out was talking to us or whatever. And Sean is a witness. Once he said he had kids, I had no more conversation. I don't even know what he was talking about because I was talking to the next person. You know, I just turned. Yes.

Shun (10:17.786)
I mean she She was giving him googly eyes she kicking me on the table she was like my friend just wrote a book and she's looking to do this thing and She's telling me she's feeding me lies right text to me and I'm like so chef like what you do He's like when I'm not here. I'm with my six kids. She was like, bro. I'm like, oh chef you done did it It's over chef. It was a rat. I mean, it's zero. What's the zero? Yeah, she went cold on him. So

Shannon (10:26.722)
Right, right.

I'm going to go to bed.

Shannon (10:45.453)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shun (10:46.584)
He's coming up.

Tiana (10:46.616)
And does it matter now? I don't know about five and six kids. Now, the amount of kids would be a thing too. You can't just have a bunch of kids.

Shannon (10:51.231)
That's what I was going to ask.

char (10:55.528)
What if he had the money to take care of the kids, Tiana? I don't want you to have the money to take care of kids because first of all, I need you to be on a hands on that. You know, I don't, I can't see myself talking to nobody that don't deal with the kids on a regular basis. So.

Shannon (10:55.806)
Right, right.

Shun (10:56.066)
No!

Tiana (11:03.863)
Yeah.

Shannon (11:05.643)
Yeah.

Shannon (11:08.878)
That's true. Yeah.

Tiana (11:08.888)
Right?

Shun (11:09.274)
That's right.

Tiana (11:11.73)
You know, my situation with my daughter was not, it having her was not the ideal situation. Like it wasn't within this loving relationship. And I think I've always kind of still wanted to have, I think having children is a beautiful thing. And it would have been even more wonderful if I could have shared that experience with somebody different. And I think part of me still wanted

Shannon (11:27.432)
So yeah.

char (11:30.223)
Mm-hmm.

Shannon (11:38.498)
Right.

Tiana (11:41.326)
to have that experience. Or still wants, not even wants it, still wants to have that experience. And I think that's part of it. Also part of it for me is that I'm an only child. So I never thought that I would just have one child. I love a house full. Like when my daughter comes home, it's always a friend or two. Like I'm that house.

Shannon (11:46.602)
Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Shannon (11:58.632)
Mm-hmm.

Shun (12:05.658)
Yeah.

Shannon (12:05.746)
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Right.

char (12:06.536)
Mm-hmm. Yes.

Tiana (12:08.406)
They can come over here, you know, you can hang out over here. And that kind of, you know, that kind of feels a void, but I just think having children is a beautiful thing. And I wouldn't mind doing it again.

Shannon (12:12.609)
Yeah.

Shun (12:21.294)
So let me ask you Tiana, not you Shara. We clearly got your stance. Oh Tiana, say you meet a guy, right? He doesn't have kids, but he's willing to adopt. Would that be an option for you? Just to fill the void. Or is it something you want to share with that person?

Shannon (12:21.313)
Okay.

Tiana (12:25.034)
Hahaha!

Tiana (12:41.918)
Um, I think so if he doesn't have children and wanted to adopt, I might see about that. I don't know that I'm that I need to force a child. I don't know if I need that situation. If you have them, if I got pregnant, then I wouldn't be like heartbroken about it. I don't know if I'm going to look for some. If that makes sense.

Shun (12:51.64)
Okay.

Shun (12:54.899)
Right. Okay. Got it.

Shun (13:05.026)
Got it. I just want to be sure it makes absolute sense because I want to be sure like are because you said it's a boy So how do we like are we gonna do it? So in other words, I really wanted a son, right? Every single time I got pregnant. I wanted a son like really wanted a son but after J. Brown like Shar said after J. Brown was 10. I'm like, okay cool. I'm not having a son It's like I'm good with that. I wouldn't have said, you know, Jimmy and I get back together and we get married Jay was grown, you know practically

Shannon (13:06.783)
Yeah, yeah.

Tiana (13:16.43)
Mm-hmm.

Tiana (13:20.108)
Mm-hmm.

Shannon (13:34.019)
Mm-hmm, yeah.

Shun (13:34.354)
I Jay's a grown man. He's not a little boy that you could play basketball Take to the barb chop like all the stuff you do with the sum, right? Cuz all girls want is money to spend your money. That's literally their lot in life boys. Love their mamas They want to hang out Frank won't go to park with me, right? So my thing is If Jimmy and I got back together and I didn't have Frank is like I'm not gonna adopt a son to fill the void So that's why that's why I asked the question. But now that I have him. Oh my god You know what I'm saying? So it worked out the way it should have

Shannon (13:37.186)
Right.

Shannon (13:47.384)
Yeah.

Tiana (14:00.01)
Yeah, yeah.

Shun (14:03.138)
But I definitely wouldn't have adopted a son just to feel the void. So I get it. I just want to know your take on that.

Tiana (14:06.266)
Yeah, no, I don't think I'm going to, I'm not going shopping for kids. If you have them, that's fine. If we have one together, that's still fine.

Shannon (14:11.136)
Okay.

Shun (14:15.571)
Shop it

Shannon (14:18.762)
Now, now what about, yeah.

char (14:18.972)
Well, when my daughter was eight, I actually thought about adopting. And yeah, I did. I was like, well, she needs some more siblings, but they scared me. You know, her godmother was like, well, shag, because I wanted one like along the age limit of her. I didn't want a baby because I just said I didn't want to do the baby thing. So I didn't want no baby. But they were scaring me saying, you know, when they're that age, they come with, you know, they have issues or whatever, you better off getting a baby. So

Shun (14:23.286)
Okay.

Shannon (14:23.295)
Oh wow.

Shun (14:34.414)
Mm-hmm. Right, car seat. Mm-hmm.

Shannon (14:36.622)
Okay. Yeah.

Shannon (14:45.352)
Yeah, yeah.

char (14:46.64)
I just left that alone, because I don't want to mistreat nobody's kids. I wanted to treat the kid like my kid, so that deal was off the table. So, you know.

Shannon (14:50.734)
Right.

Shannon (14:56.622)
Okay, now Tiana, now say you meet a man and he has three kids, but there are three baby mamas. Are you good with that?

char (15:08.416)
I'm sorry.

Shun (15:10.463)
She said, ah.

Tiana (15:11.687)
You know what, the baby mamas are worse than the kids. It's worse than the kids. You know what I think if it was because everybody, at this age, people have lived full lives, right? People are on second, third marriages, families, grandkids. So I...

Shun (15:15.962)
Ciao enough!

char (15:16.913)
And they are.

Shun (15:18.97)
Oh nooo

Shun (15:30.185)
Mm-hmm.

Tiana (15:34.794)
I don't know, I think I have to look at each situation individually, because it could be, you know, when I was a teenager, when I was in my twenties, but you worked all that stuff out. So I don't think that I have, I mean, I have a few like hard stops, but I think as I get older, it's like people have lived life and you might, you coming with some baggage now, I'm coming with my own baggage.

Shannon (15:38.782)
Yeah.

Shannon (15:47.65)
Right.

char (15:48.833)
Mm-hmm.

Shannon (15:57.942)
Bye.

Tiana (16:04.578)
So.

Shannon (16:04.599)
Yeah, now.

Shun (16:04.61)
See, that's the prime example of not living, you know judging a book by its cover. Let it play out to see so I like That you're saying you're not simply saying no because it's three baby mamas because let me tell you something I got three baby daddies. Okay, and we are at peace. We love each other. We are family So it's not always like you said at this age. It's not always drama But guess what when I had John Nia at 30 he had three baby mamas. Guess what it was Drama for your mama. Okay

Shannon (16:09.229)
True.

Tiana (16:10.285)
Yeah.

Shannon (16:20.234)
Right, right, yeah.

Tiana (16:20.465)
Yeah.

Tiana (16:25.824)
Right.

Shannon (16:25.944)
Yeah.

Shannon (16:32.014)
Drama. Yeah.

Shun (16:33.57)
So I think we're depending on the age groups who you're dealing with, you know what I mean? Not all of them, don't get me wrong. It was just one little dusty one. The other two were cool. And matter of fact, Shannon, I think I told you, I never even met the one, which was crazy, right? You raising this person kid, they living with you, spending at your house. If I wouldn't pass his mother in the store, I wouldn't have told you who the lady was. It was all crazy, which is why Shannon and I do this podcast. We try to work on and encourage.

Tiana (16:37.418)
Yeah.

Shannon (16:45.655)
Yeah.

Shannon (16:51.466)
Right, right.

Tiana (16:56.354)
Wow.

Shannon (17:01.048)
Yeah.

Shun (17:02.638)
healthy living, healthy relationship. If you're in these kids' life, you need healthy relationships, like both of mine, especially at our ages. So yeah, Tiana, I totally agree. With the age comes experience, maturity. I don't think it's always drama at our age.

char (17:07.484)
Yes.

Tiana (17:07.583)
Yeah.

Shannon (17:08.078)
Right, exactly.

Tiana (17:15.369)
Yeah.

Shannon (17:17.651)
Yeah, now there is something I used to tell Jay. Yeah, yeah. There, yeah, there's something I used to tell Jay, because I lived by it myself as well. Now, if I met someone like before I got married, of course, if that child was under a certain age, I couldn't date the man because there was always that possibility that there were still some ties with the mother. And I used to tell...

char (17:18.012)
Oh, it is.

Tiana (17:18.026)
Yeah. You said it is. Shara said it is.

char (17:21.614)
It is.

Shun (17:23.834)
I think.

Shun (17:39.954)
Mm-hmm, absolutely

Shannon (17:42.09)
Jay this all the time and he met this girl that he's head over heels with and she had a two-year-old and I said no Jay, I said, please don't do it. No mom. She's done with him. She's done. I'm like, but that baby's only two So there's that possibility and sure enough that was his first heartbreak I've never seen my son so devastated when she went back to the baby father, of course So that's the only time I would encourage people

Tiana (18:01.486)
Wow.

Shun (18:02.504)
Aww.

char (18:03.765)
Ah, right.

Shun (18:06.82)
Aww.

Shannon (18:10.794)
you know, listening. If you're dating a man, yeah, because there's sometimes, yeah, man or woman.

Shun (18:12.238)
just to be a little cautious or woman for that matter. Man or woman, cause let me tell you something. When Jimmy, my kids are smaller. I don't care if men Jim was fighting or not. We were not dating, but if I'm trying to date and he won't come see his kid, my baby daddy coming over here. So y'all gotta go home. And that's just how it is, cause you know you want that child to have a bond with their father at that age. And I wanted him still. So when he called, y'all gotta go home. How can we fight in the night?

Shannon (18:28.142)
Psst. Heh.

char (18:29.096)
Hehehehehe

Shannon (18:34.098)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shannon (18:40.478)
Yeah, yeah, so that's the key thing you just said. You wanted him still. It wasn't just about the bond. Yeah, and that's what you got to look out for. Yeah, yeah. Right, right.

Shun (18:45.95)
Wanted him still That's a fact that's a fact that's what I said just doesn't apply it doesn't always apply to the man or you know We can go both ways But now sure I want to double back because I heard you said it is and I want to Shannon again I want to know what the it is. I want you I need you to explain that it is That was that mmm at our age

Tiana (18:48.503)
Yeah.

char (18:48.702)
right.

char (19:00.2)
Ha ha ha!

char (19:05.544)
What, with drama? That's just, yeah, at our age, that's my child's father. And it's four of us. He has four kids and he has four, and I'm the last one. So, but anyway.

Shannon (19:18.871)
Hahahaha!

char (19:20.796)
But anyways, it's that one before me. We can't get along. We just had words like last week. So it ain't neither one of us with them. Yes. Yes, we just can't get along.

Tiana (19:30.959)
Oh wow.

Shannon (19:31.324)
Oh my god.

Shun (19:32.243)
Last week!

You know I can you agree with me and say because I found out it wasn't that she and I could get along She still had feelings for him. So even when I wasn't with the yeah when I wasn't with the dude Look, that's he kept coming for me. I'm like, bro. He's gone. He's gone go back and get him But you know what she knew though. She knew though. He still wanted me even though I didn't want him So, how could you blame me for that though? I'm long gone baby. I do got that

char (19:45.021)
What do you do?

Shannon (19:45.622)
Yeah.

char (19:50.485)
Uh huh.

Shannon (19:51.388)
Yeah.

char (19:56.556)
Right, right, and that's what the problem is.

Tiana (19:59.51)
Hmm

Shannon (20:03.446)
Right, right.

char (20:03.473)
Yeah.

Shun (20:04.13)
But she knew that he still wanted me and for that she couldn't stand me and I'm like, this is wild This is totally wild like dude is gone, but I get it. So she I've said but you said that's what it is I was about to tell you sure well more than likely still feelings there and it's reflecting back to you

char (20:08.093)
Yeah, bruh.

char (20:17.776)
Yes, it still is. So.

Shannon (20:18.814)
Yeah? Wow.

Tiana (20:21.286)
You know what? And my situation was the complete opposite. So Kevin and I, we were like done from the beginning. It was supposed to be a fun relationship. This wasn't supposed to be no forever. Us having a 20 year old together now. That's not ever what it was supposed to be. And so for me and him, there was no drama because forever wasn't even what we were in it for.

Shun (20:38.586)
I'm sorry.

Shannon (20:43.427)
Yeah.

Shun (20:43.706)
Okay.

Shun (20:48.131)
Okay.

Tiana (20:48.178)
And so there was no drama, there was no, he has other baby mamas, and he eventually got married and divorced. My daughter still goes over there, well, she has siblings over there, but she still goes over there spending night and everything else. There was no drama. So when somebody comes to me and says that they have it under control, I can see how that could happen, because that's my situation.

Shannon (20:48.651)
Yeah.

Shannon (20:52.863)
Yeah.

Shun (20:57.833)
Hehehe

Shannon (21:11.838)
Right, right exactly just like mm-hmm and same with ours, you know, Sean and I for those who've listened to the podcast There was never Right, right No, yeah, yeah

Shun (21:12.974)
Right.

Shun (21:16.874)
Yeah, Shannon, we had no, we had no mutual crossing. We had no, oh, she with him tonight, you with him tomorrow, no, you gotta make sure all that stuff is out the way. But I just heard you say, Shannon, I mean, sorry, Tiana, she has other siblings, and Sharon, I know you from, that your baby has other siblings. So let me say this really quick before we wrap up, and let you guys shoot your last points if you want. Did that factor in with you being able to say, well, nah.

Tiana (21:19.894)
Haha

Tiana (21:25.886)
Right.

char (21:34.544)
Mm-hmm.

Shun (21:45.522)
You know, I didn't have another one. It's okay because you knew the children had other siblings like would it be different if you just knew charade was in this world by herself sharp because You know god rest his soul. Larry, you know went on he transitioned early And that was just it Ray didn't have other kids and the same for you tiana like would that have made a difference of you of you bending or Or whatever char with your rules

char (21:56.38)
Mm hmm. Oh.

char (22:06.48)
Yeah, if she didn't have other siblings, I would have had another child. I would have. Yeah, but I would have done it when she was younger still, but I would have had another child because that was one of the reasons when she was raising other kids, everybody had, it was just a lot of money going out with all of these kids. And you know, me and her father lived together. So, you know, two kids going to tutoring.

Shannon (22:11.4)
Okay.

Shun (22:12.381)
Totally. Okay.

Shun (22:18.038)
reasons you didn't because you were raising other kids. Yeah, okay.

Shun (22:25.082)
Mm-hmm.

Shun (22:28.259)
Right.

char (22:31.388)
you know, sports activities and they stayed and stuff, you know, so it was just like a lot of money and having another child was, you know, no.

Shun (22:34.153)
Mm-hmm.

Shun (22:40.894)
Okay, so if she didn't have other siblings though, you would have earlier. And what about you, Tiana?

Tiana (22:41.251)
Yeah.

Shannon (22:41.59)
Yeah.

char (22:43.888)
I would have, yes, yes.

Tiana (22:47.582)
I probably would have been more strategic about it if she didn't but my daughter will tell you that she has the best of both worlds. So with her father she has all her siblings and then she can come here and enjoy all her own stuff. So she would say that she likes she likes it both ways.

Shannon (22:57.702)
Ah.

Shannon (23:02.934)
Okay.

Shun (23:06.926)
That's awesome. What about you, Shanna? Any parting thoughts on the topic before we wrap it up?

Shannon (23:14.09)
No, I think this has been great. This has been a wonderful conversation.

Shun (23:20.034)
I'm talking about absolutely entertaining. I've been for these Thursdays. Sometimes we gotta get deep, you know, we gotta tell y'all about the Lord. But tonight, baby, we got to have fun. So you gotta have it all, right? You gotta have it all, it gets mundane. So this has been one of the best of season three. God, all our other guests, please don't be offended. We love you all, but this just has been entertaining to me because it's been the first time we've had people on opposite sides. So if no one has anyone else on the topic, we'll move on to our next segment.

char (23:22.372)
Hehehehehehe

Shannon (23:22.446)
Mm-hmm. Ha ha ha.

Tiana (23:29.591)
Hehehe

Shannon (23:30.953)
Alright, yeah, yeah.

It has.

Shannon (23:41.494)
Yes.

Shannon (23:45.474)
Yep, yep.

char (23:49.692)
Okay.

Shun (23:49.918)
And we'll leave you with this on this topic You know people don't miss out on one of the good ones with a long list of rules But if you know where you stand on a certain issue and it's firm Don't be neither because we found to live in this thing called life being true to what you really want in the beginning Saves a lot of heartache later, you know Don't be faking it till you make it because it almost always blows up after a while And I believe that God knows every single thing about us right and the good one. He's prepared for us

he's prepared specifically for us, we will meet. They will meet our every need and we will meet them when the time is right. Even if we didn't think we needed what they have. So just live life, let it flow as it may and be sure to stay prepared for that one fine day. Cause I believe we all got it coming.

Shannon (24:38.334)
Yep. Agreed. Excellent. All right.

Shun (24:40.243)
Alright, so let's move on to the audience invite.

char (24:44.307)
Okay. Yes, yes.

Shun (24:47.594)
Alright audience invite the title of last week's song was the best man I can be by genuine RL case and Tyrese and the title of the episode was a friend that stick closer than any brother What can a brother do from yammer? That's my joint anyway That was a deep song So if you want to add another hit to your list young people old people if you never heard it When music was music y'all take a listen and if you're digging that song

Shannon (25:05.58)
Yeah.

Shun (25:16.078)
or can guess the tune that goes with tonight's line that I dropped in this episode. Or if you enjoy any of the tunes we suggested this season, be sure to hit us up and let us know. This is your official invite to email us at wife That's wife All right, so on to the fictional family we're feeling tonight.

Shannon (25:39.502)
Okay.

Shun (25:44.326)
All right audience y'all took my red line y'all thought it was over but tonight My girl has let me run not one but two segments So I know you're used to shannon but tonight i'm gonna run it. She's allowed me the honor tonight And y'all know I like my wordplay and i'm not sure if you caught that one fine day at the end of the wrap-up But that is indeed the title for tonight's fictional family. I am feeling Our families are single parents melanie parker played by michelle pfeiffer and jack taylor played by the

Shannon (26:03.467)
Thank you.

Shun (26:14.21)
Gorgeous George Clooney and one fine day. Yeah, that's my man, honey So and this one movie one fine day they both show up to the kids Field trip and the kids have missed the bus. They're both single parents, which means they're leaving hectic lives, right? So they end up having to leave the scene on the field trip having to catch a cab together And he's on his phone and she's on her phone and they hear each other talking and he's like, oh she's like, oh Let's get me out of here

Shannon (26:16.006)
it's Clooney

Shannon (26:39.15)
I'm going to go ahead and close the video.

Shun (26:39.862)
Then they assume very quickly that we don't like each other right they judged right away that this isn't person for me Even though they were both single but at that moment they realized they needed each other because on those phone calls she had like a big meeting that would her career depended on and he's Led to get on this story that basically his career is over. It's the story of his life if he doesn't take it So they use each other as daycare and of course, you know since she judged him She's like should I leave my child with him?

But she ends up losing his daughter. And he ends up letting her son put a marble up his nose or something crazy because they're single parents, but they weren't using each other's kids. And they just decide, we have to use each other. We have to utilize what we have. So they find the daughter. They get over for the day. They go their separate ways and basically like, never have to see you again. But they get home and realize they can't stop thinking about each other. So his daughter suggests like, hey, let's go see him.

Shannon (27:13.304)
Yeah.

Shannon (27:16.659)
I'm sorry.

Shun (27:38.926)
So they go over and she's sitting there like, you know, man, I should have, I should have did that differently. She starts thinking about how fine George Clooney is when she got home. And you know, she's like, I should have took that, I should have took his number. Anyways, he ends up knocking on her door and the kids go watch a movie and they end up just falling asleep. And it was just great. So we can assume that they live the happily ever after, right? And you know what I get from that scene, from that movie, divine intervention and timing.

And I believe that's true for us all if we just wait. Now, I'm sure she probably, I think they talked about how long it had been since she had a man, but he was a woman, you know, a ladies man, cause he was so good looking and he probably had a different one every night. But they were both what each other needed, even though they were living their lives, whatever way they were living, you know, divine timing. And I think ladies, I think the Mr. Right's are out there for you. And I just can't wait to see it and experience it with you all. And that is the fictional family we're feeling.

Shannon (28:28.3)
Yep.

Shannon (28:39.591)
Excellent, excellent. I love that movie.

char (28:43.028)
Yes.

Shun (28:44.758)
