MIND THE GAP | THE RECEIPTS PODCAST – Transcript

00:00Hi guys. >> Hello. >> Welcome to a brand new episode of the Receipts Podcast. Yeah, it is us. We are back. Episode 315. >> Not a one up. >> I was going to say 135. Like imagine the regression of it all. No, no, no, honeysies. Episode 315.

00:18>> So she was >> she came to me as I was sipping a drink. It's your girl Ty >> and just call me Audrey. >> Do you know what? Yeah. The other day I was thinking about the evolution of my names on the show. >> Oh yes, of course. You've gone through quite a thing.

00:32>> I've gone through quite I've been a bit of a name [ __ ] on this show cuz when we first started I was Ghana's finest. >> Ghana's finest. >> And yeah, that was purely because I didn't want to be found. I didn't want my colleagues to find me. I wanted to just be able to talk unapologetically, talk the things and just be free. Then >> I think it's just been two changes, babe.

00:53>> Yeah, I know. I just realized >> I think it's a group of guys just call me Audrey Audrey. Yeah. >> Yeah, that's all. Never mind. Um redundant point, but no, basically a point. >> I um yeah, I was Ghana's finest for a really long time. But then obviously you guys would just call me Audrey on the show. Do you know what I mean? And it was just like you're not going to call me Ghana's finest on the show. How unnatural, how uncou kind of thing. But I remember when I changed to just call me Audrey. And the only reason why I

01:19even went with that, shout out to my friend Lio, is because I turned 35 >> and in true turning 35 fashion, I did a photo shoot. You know me, I love a photo shoot. You love a photo shoot. >> I love a photo shoot. So, I did >> I have never done a photo shoot for my birthday. >> It is kind of cringe, but I love it. And >> I know people do it. It's cool. I've never done it.

01:35>> I did a photo shoot, but this was actually cringe cuz it was like powers suit. >> Do you know what I mean? I was like literally turned 35. I went to the studio. I took like my powers suit. I was wearing a blazer and then I had another look where it was just like a black robe. It was giving head shot, but that was my 35th birthday shoot. And then that day I was like, I think I need to drop the gardener's finest and just be embrace being um being called like my name kind of thing. But I was like, oh, how do I come out with it?

02:02Kind of thing. So my friend was like, why don't you just say just call me Audrey? And I was like, oh my god, dope. And that could also be my Instagram handle. So that day I changed it, posted one of my pictures. It was like a sneak peek before I dropped my actual birthday pictures. posted that and then my handler changed, right? And I didn't know that at the time and I didn't roll out and it was intentional but unintentional, but I didn't know that at the very moment I did that DMX died.

02:27>> I hate when you have a roll out and celebrity dies and takes all >> literally. So I posted it and people were dragging me in the comments. They were like, "Read the room." They were like, "Dexra's third [ __ ] NO ONE CARES."

02:40AND I WHAT? >> And I didn't know. >> Yeah, but also I hate when people do that. People die every day. No, it actually pisses me off because people actually die every single day. >> But you Exactly. But you know when people are having a full-blown I hate when people have a conversation in my comments. Yeah.

02:56>> Yeah. So someone was like, "Oh, um yeah, he um he was like, "DMX just died, bitch." And then the other person was like, "Yeah, people really don't know how to read the room these days." And he was like in it. And I was just like, I didn't know. It was like breaking news.

03:11>> Oh, I'm so sorry. I I LOVE DMX, by the way. Like, as in I was actually a DMX fan. Like, as in I was introduced to hip-hop by amplified as a DMX. >> But so, what the [ __ ] has that got to do with me? Exactly. Like, what has that got to do with me changing? And have you ever said he's your dad? Like, have you ever said you're a big fan?

03:28>> I've even uttered the word DMX on this show on my here platforms, >> but I genuinely didn't. And it's not to say that I wouldn't have posted it because what the hell's that got to do with me? Do you know what I mean? Like life kind of has to go on. Like DMX would want me to post. Like he do you know what I mean? He wouldn't want me to stop my roll out before that.

03:46But I genuinely didn't know. And they were just flogging me in the comments just being like, "Yeah, these influencers these days, they're so insensitive." Like proper having a back and forth two burner accounts. >> Just two people talking. Yeah, just two people. And I was just like obviously I went back and deleted the whole conversation, but I genuinely didn't know. So, you know, to anybody who hates me because of that, I didn't know.

04:04That's >> And also like they never give you a thing of maybe you didn't know yet. Like they never give >> maybe I haven't heard. >> That's always an option. You know, the news hadn't reached me. Bearing in mind there's like an eight hour difference. Do you know what I mean? I didn't know.

04:18I didn't know. That's that's all I came to say. >> I've had that before. When someone died, I'd just post my normal story. Someone this person just died like DM'd me. I'm like, girl. I'm like >> so I'm not supposed to post. But also, what if I didn't know?

04:32>> And actually, that is not locked down to me yet. I didn't know yet. So, what do you want me to do? >> That part. That part. >> But I'm also really funny about when a celebrity dies and people like there's there's loads of post. I don't like I don't like it. >> The last time I posted was when RIP sway because I actually was a fan of his.

04:48Like if it's like a person because sometimes people >> pass and it does kind of like send a shiver. Do you know what I mean? But I don't really I I'm just I'm just the kind of person if I see that everyone's done it, I just don't feel the need to add on. >> And also I just feel so sorry for their family. Like I feel like I feel like some people surely that's how some people's family found out.

05:06>> I'm sure some people just haven't their cousin from a little while and just looking like wait what what is everyone talking about? That's what always gets me to be like and their family just will just have to keep seeing their faces. I don't I don't know what the I don't I'm not saying it's a wrong thing to do. It's not a wrong thing.

05:19>> I just don't know if it feels nice for >> their people. I just don't feel like it's necessary for like everyone in the world to like be doing it. Do you know what I mean? But I mean there's nothing wrong with it. >> I get though you want to respect someone like I absolutely and and the shock of it is always a bit like >> yeah if I'm a fan then I probably will.

05:38But if I a celebrity to me that I wasn't really like invested in in any way then I'm probably just going to keep it moving. But yeah. So um yeah. Um my weekly question my question this week for you is >> what is a hill that is not important in the grand scheme of things doesn't make a difference to anybody's life that but you are still willing to die on [clears throat] >> I'll give you example I said it briefly I think

06:04>> everybody should check the weather like that's a hill also like before and after >> before should be on the left and after should be on the right >> okay I've got one >> like I said why would you why would you do that the other way around >> why would you show a picture of someone before first and a bit after first and before the dumb. That makes why would you do that?

06:20>> That's dumb because what am I looking at? >> What you and then dumb me will be like, "Oh, she looks amazing." >> Yeah. WHY DID SHE DO THAT? YEAH. YEAH. WHY DID SHE DO THAT? SHE KNOCKS UP. I'm like, "Oh, >> why would you do it like that?" that Yeah. That pisses me off.

06:32>> Yeah. No, I hear it. My heel honestly and like I'm I'm not always loud about it because depends on the room I'm in, honey. But I really think that if you go to a dinner, you should pay for what the [ __ ] you had. >> Oh, >> yeah. Like and the thing is I say that I don't necessarily live by that. Like I I I will go with the majority. Do you know what I mean? Like if like um I'm at a dinner and I pretty much will always do it. I'm happy. I will split it. I mean happy to is a bit of a stretch, but I

07:00really think that as a general rule, we should just all pay for what we had because it's just I mean it it is a bit like people have different dietary requirements, different dietary needs, different tastes in food. like one carnival over there that's eating all of the steak and all of the carbs and all of the meat and potatoes, all of the potatoes versus someone who wanted to come to the dinner to celebrate you, but maybe they're a vegan or they don't

07:26drink. Like their bill is naturally going to it's naturally going to be less. So why am I splitting a bill that now becomes £270 as opposed to £86.95? >> Do you know what I mean? So I I really do feel kind of strongly about that. And even though I, like I said, I don't mind, I I I'll participate. I'll split because I don't want to be that person.

07:46I would never be the person to be like, "Guys," but >> I do stick up for people. >> I think people who don't drink alcohol should be able to say, "Hey guys, I don't think I'm not paying for all of that." >> Exactly. Like people are popping bottles of champagne and Belvadier and all sorts. And then you just had your little, you know, >> my birthday hill is >> everybody has to pay for the birthday person.

08:07>> Yeah. I that is just like if there is five of us and it's a split the bill for four please like we have to pay for you have to pay for birthday person definitely because yeah I yeah I that one I 100% agree with so now the person who had their duck salad and the non-alcoholic mocktail now you've got your bill has now become 270 because you're paying for someone else's steak and champagne and the birthday person so now your bill's £300 and your bill could have

08:34been £86 like guys does that really sound fair But I've been in that situation at dinner where I've advocated for people that I know for a fact like they've had a salad and a water. >> No, what I do is I tell them privately, okay, much of it and I will just be like, "Guys, like so and so just had a salad like take theirs off and you can always see they're so grateful." But yeah, I feel really strongly about that.

08:55>> Okay, fair. >> I feel really strongly about that. I think that we should, as a general consensus, we should change our ideology about just spitting the bill. Or if you're going to go to the dinner, make sure you eat good, too. >> There are times I plan to go to dinner, but I'm not going to eat much. I'm not going to drink. And I see someone ordering like it's [ __ ] drug dealers.

09:13I'm like, bet. >> Me, too. I'm like, cool. We're all going to spit this money then. I I too am now going to get the lobster linguini. >> Yeah. >> Because I was I was going to pace myself and get a little baby chicken. But no, let's go. Yeah. Let's eat good, too. Let's all see all spending money.
