Wifey and Baby Mama

Shun (00:37.302)
Hey, I'm Sean.

Shannon (00:39.29)
and I'm Shannon.

Shun (00:41.086)
And we're the host of Wifey and Baby Mama. This will be a special episode tonight as we've been announcing for a few weeks now, the end of season two will come to an end with this episode. And the holiday season is approaching family. So this has been a wonderful two season, adventurous, educational, and just eye-opening. And I mean, as we walked and got you guys through a little what love, you know, parenting.

at blended families look like in our homes, it is our hope that everyone understands the importance or the difference togetherness and positivity makes. Hopefully we've removed a few stigmas along the way as well and replaced it with at least hope, if not harmony. I've also learned a few things about myself. Shannon, I think it's a safe assessment to say that after all the years we've known each other, after these two seasons,

We both learned a little bit more about each other, you know, that we never knew.

Shannon (01:40.802)
Oh yeah, for sure. Because seeing each other at funerals and different family events isn't the same as sitting down like we do every week now. Even what we call, yeah, discussing, putting it together. And we've learned so much about each other that has been even more affirming.

Shun (01:48.706)
Yeah.

Shun (01:55.254)
Discussing these shows putting it together Yeah

Shannon (02:07.598)
You know the uh, what god has put before us that we should be doing this You know is it just brings it even it makes it even more clear for us So hopefully for our listeners as well That you know this wifey baby mama and you know, sean and shannon You know is real.

Oh my gosh, yes.

Shannon (04:50.583)
Right, right.

Shannon (04:55.88)
Exactly.

Shun (04:59.798)
those red lines and missions that keep us laughing or challenge us to think, you know, when it was more serious because we wanted to be sure to give good, godly, sound advice. And I hope that's what we've done these last two seasons and what we'll continue to do.

Shannon (05:15.762)
Yeah, and for the remainder of the year, you can still listen to us at 7.30 on a Thursday. We will run episodes that we've ran previously, some of our most popular ones, especially some of the celebrity, or call them celebrity guests. We're gonna call them our celebrities. Yeah, they are our celebrities, yes.

Shun (05:37.302)
There are celebrities.

Shannon (05:41.602)
Because they did spike a lot of our ratings up so we appreciate them So we'll rerun some of those as well as well as our special episode when we interviewed our own host Sean For a love the world should know that's definitely one we want to replay for everyone because it got a lot of positive feedback and For those who missed it or don't want to go back searching for it

Absolutely.

Shannon (06:11.034)

I'm just jumping right here for all of you guys We're gonna run the first episode so you can get to the common denominator So you can see how Sean and Shannon's relationship came into existence

Shannon (06:19.392)
Oh yeah.

Shannon (06:24.848)
Mm-hmm.

Heheheheh

Shannon (06:31.735)
Right.

Shannon (06:42.778)
Right, yep. So look for it.

Shun (06:45.522)
Okay, we'll touch on Yeah, look forward to those reruns because you know, we run that we don't run the best one So even if you've missed out you can go back and listen to each and every one actually We encourage you to do so just so you can you know follow us and see how we grow and so in tonight's episode We'll touch on different family values and how taking different approaches may change your mindset about those dreadful family dinners, you know, so

Shannon (06:53.37)
I'm going to go to bed.

Shannon (07:02.013)
Right.

Shannon (07:14.818)
Hehehehe

Shun (07:15.174)
If you're the person who dreads the holidays um Month before because you don't want to clean up or your mother-in-law is actually a monster in law or maybe Mom keeps making you invite the drunk uncle and he's still something at your house every year But that's our only living brother. So you got to do it Well, you know this year consider, you know collecting a fee per month

Shannon (07:21.434)
Yeah, yeah.

Shannon (07:25.592)
Hehehehehehe

Shannon (07:35.954)
Ha ha

Shun (07:40.93)
save five dollars for everyone attending, rent a hall so you gotta worry about them stealing your stuff. Or if mother-in-law walks in screw-facing, you know, meet her at the door, shower with her just a small gift of love, just to change the mood immediately. I mean, whatever works, right Shannon?

Shannon (07:45.266)
Yeah, yeah.

Shannon (07:55.478)
Oh yeah, whatever works. And speaking of, you know, whatever works, so let's talk about, so what does your Thanksgiving normally look like?

Shun (08:04.776)
Now, me?

Shannon (08:06.586)
Yeah.

Shun (08:07.986)
Me personally, uh a perfect thanksgiving for me Would be just me my husband and kids. I like to end the intimacy of it except I can't cook. No so We would all starve to death on thanksgiving christmas. Okay, so I make the sacrifice, you know what I mingle So they can have some good, you know down home cooking a few times a year I mean I could fix something to eat but we all know like it's a difference between cooking, you know

Shannon (08:17.294)
Okay.

Shannon (08:27.417)
Yeah, yeah.

Shannon (08:31.85)
Okay. Yeah, yeah.

Shun (08:38.37)
And if you haven't picked up that that's another way Shannon and I while we love each other and we mingle and you know, we twine Shannon are very different in that way, you know, she sets it out baby. She's a master chef the hostess with the most is okay So Shannon, do you still have all the family over to your house on thanksgiving? Because we always at somebody else's house because I can't cook

Shannon (08:40.817)
Yeah.

Thanks for watching.

I'm going to go ahead and close the video.

Oh yeah.

Shannon (08:54.186)
Yeah.

Oh yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, everyone's here. I start cooking as soon as I get off on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. And I usually get off a little early. So around two or three o'clock, I start cooking. And I cook all the way till about three or four in the morning, nonstop. And then I'll lay down for about two hours and I'm back up at 6 a.m.

Shun (09:20.979)
Okay.

Shannon (09:25.922)
and I'm cooking until everyone arrives at 2 p.m. on Thanksgiving. So it's almost 24. Oh yeah, yeah. Because I cook. Yeah.

Shun (09:30.43)
Okay, so you're the old school. You're like my grandmother and mother. Okay, so you're an old school holiday cooker. Okay, baby That's why we'll be cheesing in the pictures. So I got it going on up in here

Shannon (09:43.706)
So I cook about 20 different dishes, you know, from the turkey to the ham and some type of chicken or whatever, just to have a variety of meats and then all the sides.

Shun (09:55.69)
variety because I know you've mentioned before you have a Stepfather of Hispanic descent. So this his relative comes over. Well

Shannon (10:02.81)
Oh yeah, my Cuban. Yeah. So I also make sure I include my Cuban dishes as well. So I have traditional Thanksgiving dishes, but exactly. Make sure there's some arroz compollo and some chicken fricassee and some, uh, a juca. You know, all of the, the Cuban steak.

Shun (10:10.69)
Okay, so you so you take care of everybody That's what's up

Shun (10:24.998)
Alright, well you better stop announcing all the dishes on my bed to adore will be the who is these strange men over here? But for real like that think that's totally freaking awesome That's awesome and you know another Important Shannon a family gathering besides me wanting my family to eat occasionally eat some real food It also gives us an opportunity to see other family members, you know, we probably only see once or twice a year, right? So

Shannon (10:32.633)
Right, right. Yes, yes.

Shannon (10:39.109)
Yeah.

Shannon (10:51.082)
Oh, right. Yeah, that's true.

Shun (10:54.93)
I'm gonna say I'm feeling thankful and stuff and I could talk all night But I really am grateful for that now I know I've cut up and I tease a lot but sometimes you know, you see the cousin that you haven't seen like you said since a funeral and By the grace of God, I hope no one dies every year at the same time I mean it has happened but if you see those cousins or aunts that you only see when someone passes away or a Family reunion occasionally and most people, you know, unfortunately, especially us we don't

Shannon (11:10.357)
Oh yeah.

Shannon (11:15.216)
Right.

Shun (11:24.702)
family reunions every year. I know my family does personally. We get together every 10-15 years and so many people have passed. So holidays are a good time you know to see if those people just haven't seen in a long time.

Shannon (11:36.614)
Right, right. And I'd love it. And I'm fortunate that the majority of my family is, you know, in the surrounding, Charlotte in the surrounding areas. I have a cousin and her family in Maryland, and then another cousin in his family in Tennessee. And then my niece is out in LA, but she's only recently been out there, you know, a couple of years. But everyone else is here.

Shun (11:48.948)
Okay.

Shannon (12:03.962)
And I am so grateful for that, you know, that they're all here. And even the ones that, you know, are away, the few that are away, they come home for the holidays. If not every Thanksgiving, they might come Thanksgiving or Christmas. They choose one to come home. So we do get to see, oh yeah, so we fellowship and we have a good time. We dance, we play games, you know, it's just a wonderful time. Of course you're always gonna have, you know, someone that's...

Shun (12:20.255)
one or the other.

That's awesome.

Shannon (12:32.434)
ticked off about this that or whatever and you find out later oh so-and-so was pissed they were pissed off I'm like whatever I wasn't yeah

Shun (12:35.032)
Right.

Shun (12:38.816)
Hehehehe

That's right. I had a good time. Well, well in my case, you know, my husband's family is humongous and, and it's so strange that we are both of eight children, you know what I'm saying? And he's the baby of eight and I'm only the second oldest of eight. So it's like real crazy. But so when I can't, yeah, but half of my mom's siblings are still in this house and half of us are here. But most of my husband's family's here. He had two siblings. Um, one of his brothers got arrested. So his, my brother-in-law passed, um, this year, which was treacherous.

Shannon (12:47.474)
Oh yeah, yeah.

Shannon (12:55.086)
It's a difference, yeah.

Shannon (13:07.863)
Yeah, yeah, yes it was.

Shun (13:10.462)
And I know heartbreaking. Oh my god, and he is a sister that lives um out of state But they always came though They they were always here that you see that in my book like they're always together and I love that about them Like no matter what but they're a little older than my siblings So they're growing into my siblings are growing into now knowing the importance of family We haven't lost any siblings yet. And you know, thank god, but we had a cousin my mom raised like a brother who passed um after as a matter of fact, jimmy's brother passed

Shannon (13:32.998)
Yeah, great.

Shun (13:39.638)
The beginning of the year and then my brother which is what I call him because he was pretty much raised right alongside me Past in December. So that was a rough year for us, but he was the closest thing to a sibling that we lost I'm telling it ripped us apart And I hope it made us see the importance of this now because my side of the family does not get together often You know, that's his for funeral So hopefully this show, you know this podcast my book has taught them what love is but you know what hope is and what

Shannon (13:45.054)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Shannon (13:55.606)
Mm-hmm.

Shun (14:07.574)
family needs and what endurance is and we need to fight for our families, you know. And you have those family members, you're just not going to get along with people. I mean, it's just inevitable. They refuse to be nice. Let them go. But the ones that you can get along with, try it all costs to hold it together because you get but one family, you know. And so that's one thing I always admired about my husband's side of the family. They were very close, you know. So I watched that and, you know, which that for my own family.

Shannon (14:11.738)
Yes we do.

Shannon (14:16.466)
That's true, that's true.

Mm-hmm.

Shannon (14:27.174)
Right.

Shun (14:37.882)
As the you know as one of the elders of the family we have no parents all of our parents Step mom step dad and real mom and father are gone. So maybe is one of the elders That's one of my mission on this holiday season start working toward getting our family together And you know just been a little closer. So That's what we're looking at. So audience, you know as we do this We want you guys to take time in and think about what holidays what the holidays look like for you

Shannon (14:52.574)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah.

Shun (15:05.554)
If you are at beef with your family, if you're at odds, try to make this season a turnaround for that. So we're not just sharing our stories so that you can hear us talk. We hope we're inspiring someone to know what the holiday season, you know, is really all about. And I just personally can't thank God enough for what he's done in this year. So no matter how bad it may look for you guys, just you're still here. That's number one. You still have purpose. You still have a calling.

Shannon (15:12.466)
Right.

Shannon (15:32.35)
That's right.

Shun (15:35.07)
So if you are at eyes with your family if you're if you're the person that haven't been to the family dinner in 20 years Find it in your heart to go this year because i'm telling you it matters and tomorrow is not promised But keep in mind if it's something treacherous if it's something harmful or detrimental your walk in life or your walk with god or your peace Okay, you know stay away from it. We're not encouraging that we encourage you nobody to lose their peace about nothing but try to find the try to find the

Shannon (15:35.89)
Mm-hmm.

Shannon (16:01.644)
No, we're not.

Shun (16:04.458)
the little things, you know, in life and family. Family's a really big thing. So try to find a little thing that can make you, don't let little things keep you from your family. I guess that's what I'm trying to say. If it's something little that you can fix, then fix it.

Shannon (16:16.882)
Yeah, and a lot of people don't recognize that it's little unless they take a step back and try to be objective and take your emotions and your feelings out of it unless someone has physically harmed you or they're causing your relationships stressed or whatever. Yeah, right, right.

Shun (16:32.871)
Right.

Shun (16:36.698)
I Determined a detrimental your character the fame in your name Those are type of thing those type of people we encourage you to stay away from because if they loved you They wouldn't do that and you have to love you enough to protect you and your family So like I said, we don't want to run anybody in these your heartache. Oh, should I do this? What would Jesus do when it comes to it because even he you know, even he had enough even he got frustrated a few times in the Bible

Shannon (16:44.578)
Exactly, exactly. Yeah.

Yeah.

Shannon (16:58.229)
Ha ha

Shannon (17:02.86)
Hehehehehehe

Shun (17:03.754)
You don't let people just run all over you. That's not what we're saying. But you do it all costs. Like I said, try to be the bigger person. And if you, if you can't find it to your heart to go to dinner, if you, if they have done something so bad, just please at least forgive them and don't let it hold you hostage. Yeah.

Shannon (17:17.65)
Right, right, yeah, yeah. Because I've dealt with getting into, not a lot, my personality. I don't get into a whole lot. But I remember a time when me and my younger sister, I'm sorry, second to the youngest, because the baby is going to be like, we never had no problem. The second to the youngest. But she's the youngest on my mother's side. So I always say I have two younger sisters. Because one is my mom's and one's my dad's. But.

Shun (17:29.524)
Right.

Shun (17:37.792)
Hehehe

Shannon (17:46.91)
When me and my younger sister got into it One time and we didn't speak for a while, you know, it's it is It it weighs on you and then you realized yo Yeah, you realize you're really causing yourself a whole lot of damage Until you let stuff go until you forgive and Just move on nothing is

Shun (18:00.19)
Pose on your heart, yeah.

Shun (18:07.754)
Mm-hmm.

That's right.

Shannon (18:15.346)
That important I've learned is, well, in my situation, not saying mine is like anybody else's. It was more, I'm very opinionated, as you can probably hear on this podcast. I do, it's as quiet as I am. I do have an opinion, a strong opinion, and my sister's the same. She's like my equal, or not more. And she's nine years younger, so she's where I used to be, you know?

Shun (18:28.661)
hehe

Shun (18:43.31)
Mm-hmm.

Shannon (18:44.306)
nine years ago. So where I am today is not where I used to be. And I'm sure she'll get where I am today. And she'll she might listen to this and be like, Oh, heck no, I'm already there. You know, because everyone sees themselves, you know, however they see themselves. But I let a lot of time and, you know, a lot of hurt come on me based off of me only, it had nothing really to do with her.

Shun (18:55.991)
Right.

Shun (19:12.33)
Right. Got it.

Shannon (19:14.074)
You know, so take a step back sometimes people and just look and say are you really harming yourself? Or is this person harming you a lot of times? It's you harming you And it's not about having the last word It's not about someone understanding where you're coming from if they don't get it If they don't understand why you red is your favorite color who cares? Why do you have to argue the point?

Shun (19:25.806)
That's right.

Shun (19:38.978)
That's right.

Shannon (19:41.57)
It's your favorite color. It's not there. Yeah, it's OK. It's OK to be silent sometimes. And I learned that. And I'm hoping the holidays are great for all of those who listen to us. And maybe some newfound revelations or relationships would be reignited. And you might.

Shun (19:41.706)
or be right. That's right. It's a fact.

Shun (20:08.248)
Yes.

Shannon (20:10.03)
oh I haven't spoken to this cousin or this sibling or this aunt uncle in forever and now here we are you know posing in front of the Christmas tree this year.

Shun (20:20.962)
That's it and something the last thing I want to say on the subject of the thankfulness is Sometimes it can't be fixed, you know Sometimes you can try with all your might if you find that a situation I'm telling I can't say enough It's causing you your peace. It's wise to walk away It's just wise to walk away, but do it with the open clean heart release them. Look. Hey, we have no beef We have no stripe. I'm just done

Shannon (20:30.25)
Oh yeah, that's true.

Shannon (20:38.51)
Yeah, right.

Shun (20:49.21)
And just let your energy remain the same and that way even they're not left with any like well, what did I do? What I think you did nothing We're just at a place that we don't you know, we don't click and if we cost each other more It's no different than a relationship, right? If we cause each other more harm than good, then what are we doing? But whatever we do people just do it with peace and a clean heart And that's just what we would leave you with on it and just be thankful And shannon before we get into our

Shannon (20:49.51)
Yeah.

Shannon (21:03.637)
Mm-hmm.

Shannon (21:07.75)
That's right.

Shannon (21:15.831)
Okay, thanks.

Shun (21:18.074)
November, winter. Do you want to run our stats down really quick?

Shannon (21:22.086)
Well, well before that though, I do wanna say I am thankful for you. I am so thankful that, you know, God laid this upon our hearts and we, you know, we heeded the call and I'm thankful that we're yin and yang. Your personality is exactly what my personality needed.

Shun (21:24.904)
Okay.

Oh, thank you Shannon.

Shannon (21:51.746)
And I think we compliment each other. And wherever I'm lacking, because a lot of you listeners probably, well, of course you wouldn't know, but a lot of the creative stuff, our topics, our the width, all of this is Sean. I'm the technical person. Everyone knows I'm behind the scene pushing buttons.

Shun (21:52.26)
apps and vice versa. Yes, so well.

Shun (22:10.69)
Hehe.

Shun (22:18.456)
Oh definitely.

Shannon (22:20.762)
pushing buttons and stuff. So it is just, I am just overwhelmed that we're here today. And I know we get a lot of compliments or comments and emails and things from folks that some don't believe it's real. They're like, oh, you're just doing it for the podcast. No, like I said earlier, Sean don't fake.

Shun (22:49.398)
No ma'am, does not happen.

Shannon (22:50.234)
And so that would never happen. Yeah would never happen or they say you guys are too unrealistic Because I tried with my you know The the baby mother of my husband or whatever and it didn't work And they won't always work. We're not saying what we're doing is it's a blueprint for anything Right. Yeah, it's like we

Shun (22:53.387)
I'm sorry.

Shun (23:09.866)
No, they won't.

Full proof, yeah, not at all.

Shannon (23:19.538)
Fortunately, I you know, we didn't have a whole lot of struggling strife even though there were outside influences trying To pit us against each other. Yeah. Yeah, well it just wasn't happening But if we would have you know Being if we would have been I guess a little bit more. I don't know immature whatever or Don't know seeking something that wasn't there

Shun (23:27.874)
trying to cause it, yeah.

Shannon (23:49.41)
It probably would have been something, but I think because we were both honest with where we were with the common denominator, that helped clear up a whole lot. And, you know, I'm just so grateful, Sean. We are friends. We support each other in our endeavors. Yeah, we're sisters, we're friends, but not sister wives, as I put on my pants. As I sweep it on. I know exactly.

Shun (23:56.662)
Absolutely.

Shun (24:06.285)
Yes, sisters.

Shun (24:14.006)
