The Gin & Juice Podcast | Terrible Hairstylist, Unlocked: A Jail Experiment, and a Surprise Guest!

[@FLStuff54]

Not Mykiah’s blanket making a guest appearance again!!! 🤣🤣

[@jamojayj]

Someone pop the trunk on Cam for leaving without saying “Bye”.

[@ohmjay1818]

I am with you on this

[@jasminedubya]

Agreed! Cause Sir we were suppose to be better than that!

[@melissa8580]

48:20 the immediate and infectious JOY they both had the second they spotted Mrs. Tabitha Brown in the doorway is PRICELESS!

[@amgofficial7791]

😂😂😂 ikr?! Me too when her and Taylor came on camera... instant joy... 😊 shoutout to TB and Family👍🏾

[@CorettaJG]

Yes!🥑

[@HuneyChild09]

Melissa took me CLEAN TF OUT in 2 spots: "Yo daddy was right, you making it public-er! Everybody in your town is 'public'. I am the 'er' part. and "Oh you like the i's in words!" Boy I hollered!!

[@patriciajjemba2502]

Civil rights attorney here- some of the things you’ve identified as severe problems with the legal system in America is largely why those of us in the social justice space refer to the system as the “Criminal LEGAL System” as opposed to Criminal Justice System. The reality is, there’s not much actual justice with the systems we currently have in place (e.g., placing someone in solitary confinement/the hole when they’ve expressed suicidal ideation). Changing the terminology we use in everyday conversations like this podcast is a small way we can all do our part to fight back and change the system. Also, you should definitely take the baby bar! 🎉You have great insight already. We need more Black women in all aspects of the law!

[@SweaterGodHavina]

Cam, you are a missed and loved white man… cookouts all over the world welcome you and yours anytime!

[@ShamirYukno]

This!!!! 💯💯

[@ronnitv1537]

The Tab cameo! ❤

[@amberkirk6230]

DAMN CAM! You GONE?! He always chimed in at the perfect moments with his knowledge/commentary. Even on Kev & Tony's podcast. Shout out to you, Cam. You will be missed! God bless you and your family.

[@leggs4113]

Awww I’m gonna miss Cam. He used to know the reality shows. 😫😫

[@123Tashira]

I don’t know be “Brothers” 🤣🤣😂😂

[@Heathhhhhhhher]

I am hollering at the whisper from Melissa 😂😂😂😂

[@JasmineFieldsESQ]

Oh my gosh! I am a lawyer and Examples and Explanations is FANTASTIC! It's not a textbook, but it is a supplement that helps you prepare for final exams. I still have several of mine and I've been practicing for 7 years.

[@applejackzo]

Love this for you 🥹 go Lawyer lady!

[@sherondaness7505]

What's the baby bar she mentioned?

[@djstravels4828]

Melissa get both your kiddos one of those portable jumpstarts. They are like 75 bucks and they also have a flashlight and usb charger. I love mine and I’ve used it easily to get myself out of a jam without needing anyone’s help😊

[@ericajoy6204]

Awww yes take the baby bar Mel. One of my clients took it recently and passed on the first try. You got it!

[@tyshuga]

PANIC! "I'm in here, my draws are down, don't see me!" Absolutely all the feelings.

[@toyina6140]

Also pop the trunk on people who go for the bathroom door handle on a closed door first instead of knocking first. If the door is closed, pick another stall or at least knock first! 🙄

[@carmelitaallen8502]

THIS!!!! Why would you not knock?!?!?

[@rebeccataylor135]

The “judicial/controversial” moment is such a Big Sis/Lil Sis moment for yall. 😂😂

[@okristynne]

That first one was an equal opportunity pop the trunk!😂😂😂 😅

[@iAMtheYELLOWrose]

Mel had me with with her ‘i’s in words. Lol 🤣

[@ladytaylor4299]

I love how Liss was ready to make a exam and do all the things to help Mel with the baby bar❤️❤️

[@laquaveinnichols7963]

Not me crying with Melissa about the comments I didn’t read because I knew it would make me cry lol

[@sheryllsmith4972]

I completely call it Fend for Yourself Fridays too

[@lilliancook1400]

I am soooh amuzed. Fridays is "Catch a Can Fridays" at my house. Hilarious!!!!

[@thekaerichtexas]

36:45 i love the asmr whispering, 😌

[@MissLexiBee]

Mel is a G. She’s not a lawyer, but she low key is 😂

[@jocilinmoore3519]

Oh you’re invested! You’re reading law school supplements for fun! That examples and explanations is very helpful, though 😂

[@sherondaness7505]

Sex and the City is actually the theme of my upcoming bday party! I can randomly quote from that series on any given moment with girlfriends 😂😂😂 definitely worth the watch...will be very nostalgic for early seasons, but still relaatable moments for the single girls!

[@alwoods8]

Just started watching it over last night!!

[@NishaNew]

I feel we can find ourselves in at least 1 character…The reboot as a now 40 year old was really good also so relatable

[@sherondaness7505]

@NishaNew yes, especially about adult friendships. I love Nicole Ari Parkers family in it! And hate the professor is leaving, her part was just getting GOODT!

[@natashacoleman8357]

Yes! I also think the love for Sex & the city is based on how old you were when the original series aired. As a single college graduate, I related to at least one of the characters. Love the series and used to relate everything back to an episode.

[@Cat410]

Girl yes I watched Sex and the City in my late teens to 20s. I talked about it with my college roommates too. We were all on it!

[@resabrown6402]

Yes, I love Sex in the City. It was one of my favorite non-melanated shows. Girlfriends without the flavor.

[@sherondaness7505]

Still LOVE it! My friends bought me DVD seasons as bday gifts 😂 (yes aging myself smh)

[@cordeliaparismckinney1963]

So black folks do watch SATC. My older sister was a fan when it first aired. And when I got grown, I binged it too. It’s an experience so I definitely say watch Melissa. Hmm and like most 90s/early 2000s shows, the first season isn’t good. But you have to watch it in order to understand the series. Power through season one and it gets better.

[@MD-mm9gs]

Wishing you well Cam! This episode was great! Discussing that docuseries was gold

[@shannawilliams8769]

❤❤❤ Go Mel! I love seeing how dedicated you are to the subject of your podcasts!!!

[@JBrazill09]

Aww man I actually liked The Carmichael show when it was on. Now I'm really curious about this reality/doc series. Heeey Tab!!❤

[@ladero01]

Find for yourself Fridays is what we called it too.

[@drdiva219]

As someone that went away to school, Zay should stay on campus for at least his freshman year. The relationships you form in the dorms/cafe/library are the foundation of your college experience.

[@reginahughes7929]

I am so Melissa 😂😂 I got stuck on Judi-see-al too. Then “Oh you like the I’s in words” 😂😂

[@keyattaanderson3353]

The last time Melissa said don't watch something I should have listened (Pressure)!😂😂😂 But I'm also not gonna listen again because I am here for all the drama!!

[@fdoctor79]

Liss, will the vow renewal be available at a later time for those of us on a limited budget at the moment (graduate student ova here) to view? 😅 Aww, I am going to miss Cam I wish him and his family all the best. 😊 Tfs

[@KAJ53]

The last dialogue about purpose of punishment from Mel around the 1:05:00 mark is spot on! I've asked questions to people about punishment and the reason why we use jails and prisons. Example is Mike Vick. "We" love our animals. Legally, animals are property. Vick didn't receive life for his crimes. He paid his debt to society. He also paid restitution after as well. He educated himself about his crimes and came out a better person and man. He was still ostracized and judged. The purpose of jail and punishment is to rehabilitate. Recidivism is high because jails DO NOT rehab criminals humanely. They relapse and the jail becomes a carousel. Vick stayed out of trouble and out of jail and has held a job ever since. Many Americans still think he shouldn't be able to. We only want humane conditions, light sentences, reduced fines and overturned convictions when we are personally hurt by the results. Everyone becomes an authoritarian when no one is looking.

[@Audacityee]

Get him the portable jump starter smh 😂

[@avaholloway32]

And also teach him how to use it bc I can see him mixing the colors or not charging it so he still wont be able to use it lol

[@raneekafoster2742]

I have rewatched SATC 3 times. It’s so good! Keep going, Liss!

[@nancyyoung1209]

I watched the Unlocked show too, I was up all night. It was so fascinating. Everybody in jail will not stay there forever. They need to know how to make their own choices and how to stay connected to the real world.

[@sandersrobinson4530]

This is such a great podcast!!

[@jordangascony9413]

Yes i watched.. As a New Yorker loved it

[@kaceekakes]

Oh...lol I LOVED Sex and the City 😅😂

[@sherondaness7505]

Still my fav to this day!!!

[@baked.booked.busy.7368]

Watched the show AND the movies. Repeatedly. My friends had a “saved in the city” birthday party for me 😂

[@WPierce95]

Definitely use to watch Sex in the City faithfully channeling Samantha 😂

[@MsButtalove]

🗣Go Mel, go Mel!!! You can do it....if thats what you want!

[@brandi3466]

Go Mel🎉🎉🎉🎉 I encourage you to get that baby bar license! ❤

[@carlasmall5215]

Loved SATC! Carrie got on my nerves then and still does now. Lol

[@ToniaMontana223]

I binged the Jail Experience: it was GREAT

[@Avaaest]

I definitely watched SATC. Dressed up for the movies and everything. The first few episodes were weird to me , but I love the show.

[@flourishingwithvicki8682]

I watched #SITS as it was on. That was my early 20s and enjoyed it

[@MissTrina2100]

I dont think I've heard Mel threaten to set anything on fire in awhile so that was refreshing LOL (Clayton County)

[@akilahbenons6157]

The synchronized hand on the head! 😅😅😅

[@michellewalls2803]

Yes Melissa, “we” watched “Sex and the City”!

[@tenitalks]

Awwww I'll miss Cam's input! 😂

[@VirgosGroove1]

When my daughter got her dl at around 16 or 17, I felt the same way as Melissa. She didn't get into an accident until she was in her early 30s. At that point, she could handle getting a new car on her own.

[@edwingaray5951]

Cam gone??!!!! He was such a good mixer 😭😭😭😭

[@rewacwalker7568]

Melissa that face is BEAT!!! Looking magnificent 👌🏾 ❤🎉

[@katherinesmith9683]

The Jerrod Carmichael show is WILD. 😮 Awkward Uncomfortable Triggering. Gonna watch all episodes 😂. He's probably gonna win another award for this.

[@t.j.8891]

This is getting an award definitely.

[@psmith27ps]

The Ai is the best character on the Circle😂

[@jordangascony9413]

Hey did you catch Beyonce channeling Tabitha in her hair care commercial

[@mikaelad8751]

I DEFINITELY watched Sex& the city in college and I’m rewatching it even though I’m their age now and go through the same things 😭😭😭.

[@thechoosychosen]

Not me running to my play store to download HBO so I can watch Jerrod. Liss..top tier unintentional promotion!😂

[@ShaeLaird]

Exactly! I had started watching it, but stopped and now I wanna run back to it. Lol.

[@sherondaness7505]

​@ShaeLaird I stopped. It was giving me TMI. Then I finished and not sure if I'm still a fan or not 😂

[@vincentcrawford6207]

😂😂

[@AshleyCheeks]

i started watching certain seasons of sex and the city when it came on E or something late night. I would say just watch the 2 movies but the couple seasons I saw probably helped

[@ecow1994]

Yes, I watched Sex and the City (a yt friend put me on) I enjoyed it. The early 1st season is a diff style, buy it's a good show.

[@Lady4Life]

Two great pop the trunks! I absolutely LOVE Sex & the City! The first couple seasons are not that great but it eventually finds its grind!

[@DrePierre455]

Okay, What happened to his So Called FRIENDS he was hanging out with?! They just left him with a dead battery?! WOW!!!

[@gilbrettaedwards5846]

I used to love Sex and the City. My husband and I binged Unlocked chile😂

[@neshilewis]

My mom used to say figure it out till Sunday. 😂

[@ashleamcbride8941]

Yes ladies watch Sex and the City... keep watching. I watched the series and all the movies.

[@jeaninegriffin1196]

CAM!!!!!! I am so sad. He had all the information.

[@katherinesmith9683]

Call the Bee Keeper. He'll get your account cancelled for you 😂

[@thehoneydeev]

Yeah Mel likes her « I » in words. She’ll do great with French words 😊

[@richoffprayer]

friday is chipotle day

[@ShamirYukno]

I watched the reruns of SATC, not live. The 1st season is weird. Push through. 😂

[@jeaninegriffin1196]

Add the people that designed the pod bathroom AND the faulty lock to the pop the trunk list. That’s a mess!

[@michellebelle82]

My 17 year old graduates in a couple months and has been accepted to UCONN and IM NOT READY..HES NOT READY(though he says he is) I'm STRESSED. He won't even be 18 until December..so my baby is going to live on campus at 17..I'm not ok..the school is like 40 min away from our house and I'm going to be there every day. Also my 12 year old is eye to eye with me, and I don't like that either.😢 I want to cry thinking about it

[@CassidyGrace410]

We awaited. 😂❤

[@BigDaddieNae]

That’s very Clayton county

[@ashleys6218]

Yes, we watch Sex and the City. Y'all should check it out.

[@jessicawalker5313]

I love the sex and the city movies and I used to watch the shoes from time to time! The movies are worth it

[@moniquedavis4608]

Hi Tab! ❤❤❤

[@NaturalMzHazelIz]

Im Not A Lawyer But (Yet) 🎉🎉🎉

[@candancephillips]

“This is why you can’t drive” 😩😩😩😩😩

[@22moviefan22]

I watch sex and the city at least twice a year . It’s AMAZING. It pretty much highlights every situation you could have as a single girl !

[@mintoshia5743]

Naaaahhhh yall made me watch The Circle yall needa talk about it! (It gets better too)

[@mwanikiamy]

AI Max from the circle is terrifying to me!

[@keyattaanderson3353]

We absolutely watched Sex in the City!

[@caseygene3550]

Not an E&E 😂😂 as a law school student I’m triggered

[@alexiswhitehead885]

Not Iyanla Fix My Life with no Iyanla😂

[@toyamarie75]

I absolutely love, Sex and the City!!

[@EDB3000]

Melissa you gotta stop teasing bout this dress!! We wanna see it😂😂😂

[@EminJai]

What's the name of the cooking lady?

[@CharliEdwards]

Oh, Liss must be talking about 2 Black Girls, 1 Rose! They posted that they were watching sex in the city and I was shook! But they are from New York.😂

[@NishaNew]

Sex & The City original series and reboot is a good time

[@sweetsher4361]

I watched Sex & the city in my 20s and again about 7-8 years ago at 30. Loved it the first time and aside from Samantha and Charlotte hated it the 2nd time. Carrie is the villain of her own life and her friends. I wish she wasn't written so problematic 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@tisha292000]

Sex in the City had the New Yorkers in a chokehold

[@liteeyes1882]

I watched the original Sex & the City, it was enjoyable back in the day but as you get older you realize all the characters were trash!!!! I watched "Unlocked, the experiment", it showed how some of the inmates will always be institutionalized!!! It was good to see some of the inmates grow & learn from the experience.
