Minnie (03:02.113)
Yeah.

Shannon (03:07.526)
Yeah.

Shun (03:21.394)
Emotional IQ many shared a post on social media media Recently that correlates with our topic tonight Emotional IQ that's right. We're gonna talk about grown women being grown women and grown men being grown men Which as most of you know, that's why we started the podcast. This is Shannon and I's journey So it's so good to have someone who can relate You know who can give you their side of it and you know explain that you have to be mature emotionally

Minnie (03:33.545)
Okay.

Shun (03:50.588)
to get the best results in your blend. And we need people with emotional IQ like Miss Minnie to jump on in this blended family situation. So Minnie, tell the listeners what you posted and why you're buzzing.

Minnie (04:03.452)
So I made a post with me and my baby mother, me and a young lady, we share the same baby father. And I made a post that we were close, like we were really good friends. That post ended up being viral. We ended up on WorldStar. That was one of the biggest platforms we was on and a bunch of other platforms. It was a lot, you know, it was a lot of different comments. Some people, you know, saying it was good. And of course it was a lot of negativity as well.

It took us a while to get to where we got to. It actually took a few years. But I mean, the best thing that could have happened for the both of us is becoming friends.

Shun (04:44.498)
That's amazing.

Shannon (04:47.197)
Yeah, so talk about the negativity. What were people saying?

Minnie (04:50.309)
You know, my goodness, where do I start? So first of all, everybody is saying, they gotta be sleeping together. Then they were saying, the only reason that's working is because neither of them is no longer with him. However, when our relationship started, she was still with him. She was with him for about two years before they broke up. So she was still with him.

Shun (04:54.35)
Yeah.

Shannon (04:59.101)
Mmm.

Shun (05:00.309)
Yeah

Minnie (05:14.928)
So it wasn't no bit of baby mamas joining together. She wasn't even pregnant yet when we became friends. So it wasn't that. And they swore it was that. And then they said stuff like, well, as soon as one of them go back, they won't be friends. First of all, I ain't going back. I'm not going back.

Shannon (05:18.203)
Mm -hmm.

Shun (05:18.514)
Okay.

Shun (05:23.92)
Wow.

Shannon (05:32.504)
Shun (05:33.682)
Well, I went back many now hold on many now I went back shield on that not too much but go ahead

Minnie (05:40.806)
But if she go back, I will clap my hands and be in the wedding, you know? So it would never be me. We have a real friendship and it's outside of him. Like, it's outside of him. We travel together, we go on double dates together, we take the kids out together like she is my friend. And I don't understand why we are looked at different than any other regular friendship. We're just two girls that's friends.

Shannon (05:42.287)
Yeah.

Shun (05:44.594)
I'm teasing

Shannon (05:48.807)
Yeah.

Shun (05:49.042)
That's alright.

Shun (06:01.67)
That's amazing.

Shannon (06:09.511)
Right, right. It sounds so familiar and you know. Yeah. Yeah.

Shun (06:10.46)
Shannon does that sound familiar girl? Does it sound familiar child? I mean many instant point that our families were even like mmm Like what is that? You would think they would be happy right because our children are seeing this positive interaction But our families was looking like okay, what's going on over there? We are so I mean Shannon I know you are too That's why we started but we are like dead when I speak we like what they call him sign me swings when we speak We're speaking for the other one

Minnie (06:10.553)
You know.

Minnie (06:22.883)
Right.

Shannon (06:28.378)
you

Shannon (06:36.105)
huh. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Mm hmm. Mm hmm.

Shun (06:36.818)
We've been friends for almost 30 years so we can say what the other one was gonna think and it's true We are dedicated to making this thing a real thing many so people like you who make those posts don't have to come with a negative Lashback and be you know, it's just it's just horrible that we can't like you said just be two girls that are friends and Shannon you recently had some some negative stuff you heard that you wanted to talk about to tell the tell the people about that

Minnie (06:36.918)
Okay.

Shannon (06:52.463)
It is.

Right.

Minnie (06:56.932)
you

Shannon (06:59.375)
Yeah, yeah, I do. I do. And I don't I don't know if I should name this this television host, but maybe I should. You say, huh? No, no, I'm not. Sorry, not television. He's a radio host. But anyway, on his radio show, there are people that write in and they talk about, you know, situations like this. And on multiple occasions, he's always had the same answer when it comes to

Shun (07:07.011)
Mm -mm. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Minnie (07:23.492)
Okay.

Shannon (07:28.739)
a baby mama and a wifey or, you know, two women that have a baby by the same man, even if they're not wifey and baby mama, getting along. And his whole thing is, that's impossible. There's no way unless there's something freaky going on. You know, there's no way, no way, no way. And putting that message out there to his millions of listeners because he has a wide reach is damaging.

because it can work. yeah, it does show. Truly, Because there are women, when we know them all, that will immediately hate you because of whatever. And I talked about this, of course, many times on our podcast where my child's father, before he got...

Shun (07:58.98)
And it shows his emotional IQ. And it's low, but go ahead.

Minnie (08:23.234)
Okay.

Shannon (08:25.615)
you know, marry Sean, he would date certain girls and they would immediately hate me for no reason. I mean, I was automatically.

Shun (08:29.762)
Lot of He did a lot of them. Yeah He did a whole bunch of them. Yeah. Okay, not too much. I'm baby that okay. Go here

Shannon (08:40.039)
Yes, but there was only a couple of that I met and immediately I'm the enemy and I'm thinking to myself, why do you hate me? I don't hate you. I don't have a problem with you, but right out the gate, I was just despised and I'm thinking this is just nuts. so when you have someone on a national level or not just national, I'm sorry, he's like on global level.

Minnie (08:52.52)
Okay.

Shun (09:07.758)
Any level yeah, but any level then yeah

Shannon (09:09.287)
global level spreading this type of misinformation that is impossible. It's impossible. We're here to tell you it's not impossible. And my son is grown, you know, in his 30s. So people would say, you know, that only works for when you have little children. No, it starts when they're little and you keep building. And one thing that we've never had an issue from day one. So.

Shun (09:21.906)
36.

Minnie (09:23.433)
Thank you.

Shun (09:30.3)
That's right.

Shun (09:38.456)
And and another thing I want to say is her son's grown but mine mine six. So now you got another boy You know now she's like we're Frank put Frank on the phone like it's like it's a family that the rest. I love him I'll be up here many I'll be up here tearing them up when she calls me. Leave them alone So we we look we raised some long distance together, but let me tell you something man I don't know if you ever listened to the podcast have you before joining today? Have you ever to set in and listen to some of the episodes?

Shannon (09:44.677)
Yes, yes, exactly. Yeah, that's my baby. Yeah, that's my baby.

Minnie (09:51.686)
If.

Shannon (09:58.557)
Right, right.

Shun (10:07.218)
Because if not, I can give you a little background and well, I'll just tell you anyways for maybe I knew listens I'll just say this little bit their son was 11 when we met, know what i'm saying? Like I had no reason to dislike her like I What they I was in the sandbox when they was making that baby. Okay, I didn't have I know nothing about him or her And when he went away, he made sure that we was like, hey you need to call her We made sure that our kids knew each other. But more than that, I want to say this

Shannon (10:12.359)
Yeah, yeah.

Minnie (10:20.871)
Okay.

Shannon (10:23.835)
hahahahah

Shun (10:36.49)
I have to have any background on her. I didn't have to have any foreground on her. She was his child's mother. My child had a sibling. It was important for me to make sure that was established. It had nothing really to do with her in the beginning. We just grew to become friends. You know what I mean? So I don't know why people can't understand that. When you spend an inordinate amount of time with somebody, be it baby mama, a cousin, a counselor, you know, school teacher, whoever.

Shannon (10:51.889)
All right.

Minnie (10:51.95)
Right.

Shun (11:03.834)
You develop a bond so I don't really understand the stigma of it all that you got to be in a sexual relationship It has to be something crazy sister wives or or phony you fake like why can't it just be you know what I mean? but one other thing I want to mention many and you can jump back in after this if you like your Shannon I Had issues with everybody but her like the girlfriends was the trip Shannon and I never had it you would think right we would bump heads

Shannon (11:12.551)
Right?

Shannon (11:27.015)
you

Minnie (11:32.86)
Mm -hmm.

Shun (11:33.052)
But you know why she was no longer interested in him I think women only have trip up and have issues when you still got something going on or you still want that man We've said that several times on this show for our new listeners and for you many That's really the only time it should be before I it shouldn't ever be beefed because somebody just be growing a walk away That's I learned that the hard way But at the same time if he's still choosing to engage with his baby mama while he married be mad at him not her

Minnie (11:36.196)
Yep.

Shannon (11:36.305)
That's right.

Minnie (11:40.347)
I just do agree.

Shannon (11:40.987)
Yeah, yeah.

Minnie (11:47.675)
Yep.

Shannon (11:53.681)
Mm -hmm.

Minnie (12:00.977)
Mm -hmm.

Shannon (12:01.703)
Yeah.

Shun (12:02.224)
You know what I'm saying and be or be done with them both but it should never be I can't stand him. I can't stand her cuz she won't leave my man alone No, baby. Your man is giving her reason not to leave her alone So I want women to understand and men to understand now flip side my daughter's father and I are home me's okay We homies my husband and him like cuz that's just a Dug Shannon that's the environment that I cultivate. That's the only way you gonna be in my blend. It's gonna be peace

Shannon (12:05.862)
Right.

Minnie (12:11.798)
Exactly.

Shannon (12:24.902)
Yeah.

Shannon (12:29.521)
Mm -hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Shun (12:32.364)
You can step and that's just the bottom line Because we all grown and if ain't nobody having relations and they should be mixing up stuff That's the only way those emotions get mixed. Do you agree many?

Minnie (12:35.428)
Bye.

Shannon (12:39.549)
Mm -hmm.

Minnie (12:44.72)
I agree. My opinion on it, feel like relationships like ours is not discussed enough, which is why I love the fact that you guys are open up about this. All we see is the negativity. All we see is the beef between baby mamas and girlfriends and wife. Because when I made my post, there was a lot of women. There was a lot of women. We talking about thousands of women tagging their person, like, love you, you're my everything. You know, today, baby mama. I feel like...

Shannon (12:51.665)
Yeah.

Shannon (12:56.837)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Shun (12:56.911)
Absolutely.

Shun (13:10.13)
Aww, I love that.

Minnie (13:12.451)
We just don't come out, we're not open about it. You know, we're not open about it. It's just all the negativity we see on the internet. So that is why people thinking relationships like this don't work. But relationships like this has been working.

Shannon (13:16.391)
Mm -hmm.

Shannon (13:23.825)
Mm hmm. Yeah.

Shun (13:26.226)
Absolutely, and that's why we decided she and we just started this podcast a year ago, right Shannon, but did you hear what I said? Yeah, it was a year in April so I'm almost yes going on a year and a half two years We're approaching in April. Here's the thing. We've been friends 29 years. Okay, so when he ate 29 years, right? Here's the thing. We just started this podcast because of that point you just made many

Shannon (13:29.234)
Mm

It was a year in April. Yeah, so, so, a year and a half.

Shannon (13:45.457)
Mm

right.

Minnie (13:50.682)
Right.

Shun (13:52.548)
We were saying to ourselves like this thing is under wraps like we keeping this thing Let's show the world like let's bring because you know, I got so tired of the trash tv I'm over it the fighting, you know the the same it's the same thing and I don't have anything against Nothing against any of it. But two enough is enough So let's give these people something something that can help what we have enough fighting and and and all that other stuff going on

Shannon (14:03.558)
Mm

Shun (14:18.768)
We don't have enough this many. So I appreciate you appreciating our platform and Shannon for bringing it to the forefront because it was her idea to make this public. But as grown women, it took us both to make this relationship work.

Shannon (14:19.344)
Mm -hmm.

Minnie (14:19.866)
Exactly, exactly.

Shannon (14:30.683)
Yeah, you did.

Shun (14:34.876)
Shannon, do you know how good it feels to actually have someone else to express their success in this? Like I'm really tripping tonight. Like the parent, the co -parent, the blending and friendin'. Girl, I'm excited.

Shannon (14:38.421)
Yes. Yeah. Right.

Minnie (14:45.498)
And I love it. She is really one of my closest, like probably the closest woman to me. She's one of my closest friends. She supports me 100 % with everything I do. We talk every day, all day. Like she's one of my closest friends. One of my cousins.

Shannon (14:53.501)
Wow.

Shun (14:53.906)
Wow.

Shun (15:00.818)
Wow Shannon that's crazy. That's literally our story many like no lie. It's that's our story And you can make it work and i'm so happy to hear that you're making it work now If you don't mind me asking many how old are you guys's children? Like my daughter is 25 and our son is six in there. our oldest son is my stepson's 36 So what's your kid's age range if you don't mind me asking?

Shannon (15:03.867)
Mm -hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Minnie (15:22.202)
So my two kids that I have by him is eight and nine, and her daughter is four.

Shun (15:27.888)
Okay. Okay. So it's a big gap there. Okay. So like you said, you guys have had some time to develop and you guys have been friends for how long?

Shannon (15:29.928)
okay. Wow. Yeah.

Minnie (15:31.642)
Yeah.

Minnie (15:37.178)
Probably about five years now. It's been about five years. Yep, it's been about five years.

Shun (15:40.28)
Amazing. That's awesome. I mean I really love to hear it.

Shannon (15:41.593)
Okay, yeah, yeah. Especially when the kids are young, so that they are forming that bond. And I remember Sean, when Jay and Mila were, or when Mila was like two, and she used to carry around a picture of her brother. She said, it's my brother. She carried that picture everywhere. And that was just, you know, cute. I'm like, that's how it should be, you know?

Shun (16:02.768)
in her pocket.

Shun (16:08.535)
It was because they they fed up for our positivity

Shannon (16:11.457)
And she didn't exactly. Yeah.

Minnie (16:14.136)
Yeah. And it wasn't easy to be honest with you. I always, I always, this wouldn't happen if it wasn't for her. Cause she's younger than me, but she was a bit more mature. And she always said, she always told our baby father, I never want to be with your baby mother. You know, I had my bitter ways, but it's cause I was still hurting over the hurt from the relationship. wasn't nothing towards her.

So, you know, she would speak to me. Yeah, she would speak. Now she would speak to me. I wouldn't speak back. This was going on for two years, but really opened my eyes. This went on for two years. She would, she would always speak because she'll come to the car, bring the kids out. Hey, Minnie, you know, I just wouldn't say anything, but it was never like no nastiness or nothing like that. I just wouldn't say anything. What opened my eyes was me and our baby father was going back and forth and I needed.

Shun (16:44.178)
I'd love to hear you say that. That is so mature of you.

Shannon (16:46.148)
Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Shun (16:51.762)
Wah!

Minnie (17:12.194)
my kids picked up from daycare and I was forced to call her. And when I called her, she came with no questions asked. And then I started seeing things for what it was. I'm like, this girl, like I didn't even know how close she was with my children. Cause I didn't give her a chance. You know, and when I seen that it opened my eyes and I was like, wow, this girl is really amazing. Like I don't even speak to her or nothing. And I call her when I need something regarding the kids and she's available and ready.

Shun (17:16.54)
Wow.

Shun (17:28.251)
Wow.

Shannon (17:33.949)
Bye.

Minnie (17:41.676)
And then from there, we started having small talk. And just over time, we started to bond and we eventually just became really, really close friends.

Shun (17:42.141)
wow.

Shun (17:54.852)
And can I ask how that or did that do anything to mend the relationship between you and the father?

Minnie (18:02.97)
yeah, yeah, I would say so. It's bittersweet because sometimes he likes it and sometimes he hates it because sometimes it'd be us against him.

Shun (18:14.746)
Should sound like somebody we know,

Shun (18:20.038)
But I mean I totally feel that but I mean as thank God as the kids are older now We're over those humps, but yeah, we've been there done that I'm telling it was time. We like we speaking to that Negro. Okay, we ain't got nothing to say to him, but Because he's stupid for that But you know all that all that grew over time and I'm so glad to hear that But I mean when you say it was bitterness towards you guys breaking up the reason you were kind of mean to her in the beginning

Minnie (18:23.695)
You

Shannon (18:27.453)
you

Yeah.

Minnie (18:32.096)
Okay. Okay.

Shannon (18:34.459)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Shun (18:47.856)
with you and her becoming closer, that men that gay.

Minnie (18:51.15)
Yes, yes, I completely got over it. I completely got over it. So one thing I do agree with when you said it's easy when there's no feelings. And when we say no feelings, no ill feelings, no love, it's absolutely nothing. That's how you're able to have relationships like this. I got to the point, I don't hate him. I'm not mad at him. I'm not in love with him. He's just the father of my kids. There is no type of feelings there outside of. Right, exactly.

Shun (18:52.636)
Thank God. That's amazing.

Shannon (19:00.923)
Yeah. Yeah.

Nothing.

Shannon (19:15.079)
Mm -hmm.

Shun (19:16.442)
You have to look at him like family. That's what I find it works for me My my ex -husband my daughter my middle daughter's father is literally like he's my brother I mean, I know it's weird to say but it would be like he's my family like I can pick up the phone like what up dog You heard about that diddy thing. That's crazy, right? Okay, that's all I'm gonna say but that's what you know, that's what we can do He'd like, yo, you see the mohawk, you know We talk like that and then Chris would be like yes, and then my husband will turn around be like y 'all stupid

Shannon (19:19.107)
right, right.

Minnie (19:20.386)
Exactly.

Shannon (19:25.469)
family.

Minnie (19:32.29)
Mm -hmm.

Shannon (19:38.205)
Mm -hmm.

Minnie (19:40.799)
Right.

Shannon (19:44.699)
Yeah, Mm hmm. Yeah, yeah.

Shun (19:44.966)
So that's literally how we run we operate as family, you know, so I love that mean that really warms my heart like we've had guests that that hit on topics But like this is literally our foundation tonight Shannon. So I'm like I can't get myself together girl Okay, and I want to make something clear Every day is not going to be sunshine and roses. Look guys, please don't let us paint that picture I think we said it on several occasions Shannon, but it makes it so much better Shannon to a point you brought up

Minnie (19:48.579)
Right.

Shannon (19:58.033)
Right, it is, it is.

Minnie (20:06.826)
Okay.

Shannon (20:11.421)
Mm -hmm.

Shun (20:14.61)
Can you imagine the difference in those kids because they see your positive relationship many between you guys versus the bickering back and forth? What kind of kids you had? Because it forces them to choose or it makes them feel away like man here they go again I know that's how my kids felt when me and they dad would argue it had nothing to do with Shannon But any negativity toward kids it makes them choose or it makes them feel away So when while it can't be sunshine and roses every day when there's harmony most of the time it kind of fades out that other stuff

Minnie (20:23.563)

So many we thank you for bringing your new Orleans Accent and audience so hopefully we'll see you again and We're gonna wrap up tonight show and move on to our next segment, but we're gonna wrap up by saying this It's very simple confusion can only exist between couples and family if you give it a feel to play on

Shannon (26:10.161)
Yeah.

Minnie (26:21.161)
Okay.

Shun (26:24.44)
Now you have some people who are determined to keep up drama. I've discovered those people are unhappy with themselves and you can be as intelligent as you want. It won't be any harmony with them. But if you can get along, do so. Plan a big old trip and go have a whole lot of fun and let people talk because they're going to do it anyhow. So you might as well live in the peace that you created. And that's our wrap up for today.

Shannon (26:31.097)
huh.

Shannon (26:40.711)
That's right.

Ha ha ha!

Shannon (26:49.185)

Shannon (27:25.085)

Shun (27:28.41)
More than ever and now you have a baby in the midst of this and she regrets that she made that decision Because the baby didn't do anything but create more drama So people please stay out of it Let time let love let the lord let the universe whatever you believe in Do they think I am a believer in christ and as long as I let him? lead me and guide me

Shannon (27:42.023)
Mm.

Shannon (27:46.183)
Yeah.

Shun (27:55.878)
The only time I've been off course is when I tried to make my own way and that's definitely off course people mothers fathers Please don't do that Now all she did was and she's and she she guess who stuck with the baby Anybody want want to go around for five dollars many Shannon guess who stuck with the baby? grandma The girl said he don't want me or the baby so you keep the baby I'm out You see now she's stuck with a baby and that's what happened usually

What's the book it was the book in the Bible Shannon was when they told that he would she thought sleep with my handmaid That was Sarah wasn't it? Yeah sleep with my handmaid. Yeah, so Ishmael was still a blessing, but he wasn't he wasn't he wasn't what God said So sometimes we got to just let the things do what they do So that's our sweet little life for tonight And if you want to get something off your chest you'll get your chance to hit us up at wifey and baby mama at gmail .com

Shannon (28:37.469)
That's right.

Shannon (28:41.457)
That's right.

Shun (28:51.718)
That's wifeyandbabymama .com So many now if you've been holding something in now wait about two more shows and write in and we get off the chest for you We don't do we don't do any names. You don't do states You don't do cities but grandma just need to get up and mainly because she doesn't want her son or a husband to know what she did So wife and baby mama was a place for her to get that thing off her chest

Shun (29:18.072)
Back to you, baby mama.

Shannon (29:18.691)
All right, great sweet little lies. Okay, now our last segment of the night is the fictional family that I'm feeling. The one I feel I want to fire or forget. And we've talked about this family before, the Upshaws. This is their final season coming up on Netflix, so I'm a little sad to see them go.

But if you want to binge watch it from the beginning, you'll see it started out where the wife, which is Kim Fields and a couple of baby mamas, because Mike Epps had a couple of baby mamas, they weren't getting along at all. And, you know, no one was budging because Kim Fields as wifey did not want to allow any of them in. She was she was the stumbling block.

Some of the baby mamas were a little messy too, but as you watch the show progress, you see how they come together and they form relationships that benefit the children. And it takes maturity. It takes an emotional IQ for sure. A high emotional IQ, I should say. So the upshaws, I am filling them this week because

Shun (30:31.519)
Absolutely.

Shun (30:35.804)
Mm -hmm.

Shannon (30:43.076)
they show progression and growth. wasn't an instantaneous thing like Sean and I, but it shows what's possible. And so for people who are out here spreading information, like it can't happen, it can't happen. Yes, it's a sitcom, it's a fictional family, but it is possible people. What do you think, Sean?

Shun (31:07.662)
and it's I'm gonna fill them because you said not instantaneous like us but many said that was her situation theirs wasn't instantaneous right many yours took some building up, correct?

Shannon (31:14.678)
Right, exactly. Yeah.

Minnie (31:19.882)
Yes, that's right.

Shannon (31:21.937)
So Minnie, have you watched the Upshaw's? Are you familiar?

Shun (31:21.948)
So yeah.

Minnie (31:25.92)
I actually have never seen it. I've never heard of it.

Shannon (31:28.781)
OK. Yes. Check them out.

Shun (31:29.296)
Well, might want to check it out before that. Yeah before they before they axon, but it's really good It's a really good Shannon and I'm gonna be honest I would then watch them to Shannon start telling me about it and when I went and watched some of them because we have to kind of have a little information on fiction or Famous I get feedbacks, but I really like it and I do enjoy that one thing Shannon I enjoy the progression of it all and to hear it correlate with many story and she she never even

Shannon (31:44.594)
Yeah.

Shun (31:51.506)
Look at guy he'd be all up in here doing he do his thing. He'd be doing his thing on wifey and baby mama We'd be knowing we'd be we'd be bonding up in here So I'm going to fill them and many I'm going to thank you for joining us tonight before shanda concludes Please come back again.
