Dana Dane and his wife, Tana Tane, revisit pet peeves in an episode of Dana Says/Tana Says. It was Tana’s idea to come back to the topic because she’s found a new habit of her husband’s that bothers her.
The legendary rapper has started eating healthier, which his wife is very thankful for. However, he has an odd way of eating one of the foods he has recently found appetizing: grapes. Tana claims that Dana “eats them as if they are apples,” meaning that he bites into each grape a half at a time instead of popping it into his mouth and eating it whole.
“I understand that this is new to you, eating grapes, but that’s not the way you eat a grape,” Tana pleads jokingly.
Dana defends his eating habit by saying he enjoys letting the juice squirt when he bites into the grape and for other reasons.
“When you eat half of the grape, you find out if it’s a good grape or not so you don’t have to eat the rest of it or spit it out,” he says. “Because sometimes the grape is not as ripe as it may seem.”
Then, it’s Dana’s turn to roast Tana. He explains that she will start talking about one of her friends with no context and he gets frustrated when he doesn’t follow along.
“She just wants to start the conversation in the middle of the conversation and looks at me like I’m the dumbest little black guy to ever walk the planet when I do not understand what she’s talking about,” Dana shares, “because I have no details of what she’s talking about. And I’m like, ‘Who are you talking about?’ And she gets upset with me.”
Tana laughs as they continue walking.
“I don’t have much pet peeves about Tana because I have learned, so I’ve learned, that there’s no win for the husbands,” Dana says, to which Tana is not amused.
“It’s not a contest,” she retorts.
“It’s always a contest,” Dana insists.
The conversation directs back to grapes as one viewer says he agrees with Dana’s need eat grapes by the half to test if a grape is sour. Tana explains why this is the wrong grape-eating technique.
“My grandparents used to have a grapevine in their backyard when I was little and we would go out there,” she says. “I know how to eat grapes because we would go out there and pick our own grapes off the grapevine, rinse them and eat them. And we did not eat them like that. We never knew if it was going to be a good grape. We just spit it out.”
Dana continues to defend himself, saying, “I’m just learning how to eat grapes. I’m a new fruit eater. So she can’t hold that against me.”
“I’ve been telling you for four weeks, that’s not how you eat grapes,” Tana insists. “And every time you come back in with a big bunch of grapes, I just cringe.”
After much back and forth, Dana once again claims he has no reason for pet peeves.
“I don’t buy into the pet peeves anymore,” he says. “I have learned to let much go.”
“Really? What?” Tana laughs.
“What do I bother you about? That you complain all the time?” Dana says.
“I don’t complain. I make observations.”
“Observations of me snoring, of me eating, of me…”
Tana throws up her hands in surrender at the mention of his snoring and Dana immediately regrets his rant.
“I shouldn’t have brought that up. That’s a mistake on my part.”
They both laugh hysterically as he tries to backtrack.
