Speaker 1: All right, guys, well, thank you so much for your patience.
Speaker 1: We're really really really really sorry. Well I especially am
Speaker 1: sorry since it's my job to edit the podcast and
Speaker 1: I screwed up.
Speaker 2: But we're back. We're back. I know so many of
Speaker 2: you guys, you guys have hit us up like so
Speaker 2: when is BA coming back?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, we're back. We're really glad that you
Speaker 1: love the show. Bud, Please don't hate us too much
Speaker 1: for putting it up late. Just look at this way.
Speaker 1: You have a nice little Friday treat exactly. So let's
Speaker 1: kick off this show. I saw something crazy today that
Speaker 1: I had to talk. I'm kind of glad that we
Speaker 1: had a couple of days, like we had this delay
Speaker 1: because now we can talk about this craziness. There's this
Speaker 1: article on PopSugar dot com, like this kind of thing
Speaker 1: entertainment blog, and they compare Kylie Jenner, who has not
Speaker 1: one drop of Latin in her to The headline was like,
Speaker 1: Kylie Jenner is basically every a mix of all your
Speaker 1: favorite Latina celebrities, and like there was ay. They basically
Speaker 1: just took like screen like screenshots of her Instagram account
Speaker 1: where she takes pictures of like Here's Kyllie Jenner showing
Speaker 1: off her naked butt. Isn't she like j Lo? Here's
Speaker 1: Kellie Jenner wearing like a throwback eighties outfit? Isn't she
Speaker 1: like Selena? Let me tell you, like you think black
Speaker 1: Twitter is bad? Like Hispanic Twitter.
Speaker 2: After them? Yes, as they should. That's so funny. I
Speaker 2: didn't even know there was Hispanic Twitter. But that's why
Speaker 2: I get them.
Speaker 1: They exist. This is a thing, like, I mean, this
Speaker 1: is this came the same week? Was it one more?
Speaker 1: The Golden Globes announced? Was that last week or this week?
Speaker 1: I forget, It's been a long week. But during the
Speaker 1: Golden Globes, my my like celebrity crush America for yeah.
Speaker 1: She So she was announcing the nominations on camera, and
Speaker 1: some people, some media outlets, some major ones were tweeting like,
Speaker 1: oh look, it's Gina Rodriguez announcing the Golden Globes. Gina
Speaker 1: Rodriguez is a whole different person, yes, but another Latina,
Speaker 1: and I guess they were just mixing them up, which
Speaker 1: is just like embarrassing.
Speaker 2: It is very that is always very embarrassing.
Speaker 1: I can't even apologize on their behalf because I don't
Speaker 1: know like how they just all look alike. There's only
Speaker 1: like one or two, so you got fifty to fift
Speaker 1: chances of getting them right.
Speaker 2: That's how they feel. I'm just reading some of the
Speaker 2: tweets right now. I'm like, ooh, they're like, uh, Kylie Jenner.
Speaker 2: Comparing Kylie Jenner to a strong, beautiful, natural Latina is
Speaker 2: a bit insulting thumbs down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's just sort of like some people are saying,
Speaker 1: it's just more about cultural another example of cultural appropriation,
Speaker 1: Like just because she got button plants and she has
Speaker 1: big old' lip injections, and she has like these stereotypical
Speaker 1: Latina or even black features that now now claim but
Speaker 1: you know, she's not claiming it. It's not like Kylie
Speaker 1: Jenner said that she's like a Latina. It's really pop
Speaker 1: Sugars situation. Yeah, And so I took that mess down
Speaker 1: real quick, yeah.
Speaker 2: Real quick, because they're like, uh, you know, that's the
Speaker 2: thing I kind of like about social media these days.
Speaker 2: It's like a good thing and a bad thing. But
Speaker 2: that like when something is not right, that people can
Speaker 2: hold you to task, because before it used to be
Speaker 2: like whatever, you can't do anything about it. Now people
Speaker 2: are like, oh really, let me, let me get to
Speaker 2: let me talk to Twitter real quick and see if
Speaker 2: we can't make you guys realize you're wrong.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite way to get customer service now. Yes,
Speaker 1: like I've complained about airlines and m h even my
Speaker 1: meal service that I use, like my plated a complain
Speaker 1: on Twitter and they're like, oh my god, we'll get
Speaker 1: to you right away. It's so much faster than like
Speaker 1: calling eight hundred years.
Speaker 2: Like I was at a when I was in Barbados
Speaker 2: and so many of you guys hit me up like saying,
Speaker 2: oh I heard you think gonna be in Barbados, Thanks
Speaker 2: VA listeners. And so I flew Jet Blue, which I
Speaker 2: actually really liked. I'm flown Jet Blue in a long time,
Speaker 2: and so it was like really roomy, loved it. I
Speaker 2: had to check a bag which was twenty bucks if
Speaker 2: you checked it online, which I did, and then when
Speaker 2: I was in Barbados, I tried to check the bag
Speaker 2: coming back. Couldn't do it online. I was like, no words,
Speaker 2: I'll do it the kiosk. Try to do it at
Speaker 2: the kiosk. I literally hit up every single kiosk, and
Speaker 2: because it costs more money, if you do it at
Speaker 2: the death. So they all were not working. They kept freezing,
Speaker 2: and so I went to the counter and was like, hey,
Speaker 2: my bag. It won't let me, you know, check my bag.
Speaker 2: And they still charged me the extra nine bucks and
Speaker 2: I was pissed. So, Jet Blue, you have a tweet coming,
Speaker 2: but I was just like, ah, but that's how I
Speaker 2: get my customer service as well. I'm like, let me
Speaker 2: send a quick little tweet like uh, Jet Blue. So
Speaker 2: I like how that is.
Speaker 1: A pro tip. Definitely complain on social media. Yes, well,
Speaker 1: here's something that no one's complaining about. Averdi Verne's Barbidol. Yes,
Speaker 1: sold out in like lickety split seconds. Yes, isn't that amazing?
Speaker 1: You imagine I've never I can't imagine any other brown
Speaker 1: Barbie Dolls ever sold out like that. To have it
Speaker 1: be a director and not like a model, not a
Speaker 1: Tyra Banks or nothing against Tyra.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I know what you meaning. Like, she's known
Speaker 2: although Ama Duvine is beautiful, that's not what she's known for.
Speaker 2: That's not why she's celebrated. She's celebrated because of her
Speaker 2: craft and her skill. And you know, you know, no
Speaker 2: knock against beautiful women. Obviously that's awesome, but it's just that, like, wow, Okay,
Speaker 2: this woman is being celebrated and you can look up
Speaker 2: to her because she's this self taught director, which I
Speaker 2: think is amazing.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, well, young girls need to know that
Speaker 1: you can be beautiful, but that's not all you have
Speaker 1: to offer. And if you're not traditionally or whatever just
Speaker 1: the way that you know, mainstream media what they consider
Speaker 1: to be beautiful, then you can look at this Barbie
Speaker 1: and say, well, that's not all that any woman has
Speaker 1: to offer, and the exact talent and you know, imagination
Speaker 1: and skill that you can offer. I thought it was awesome.
Speaker 2: She actually did like one of my one of my
Speaker 2: motivational videos. It's her speaking I think like too. I
Speaker 2: don't know if it was a school of but it
Speaker 2: was directors, like young directors, up and coming directors, and
Speaker 2: she talks about something called like her smelly coat, and
Speaker 2: really she just says that, like you know, when you're
Speaker 2: really really desperate. So yes, she definitely calls it the
Speaker 2: smelly coat. And her talk is called take that smelly
Speaker 2: coat off of take that smelly coat of desperation off.
Speaker 2: And it's just such a dope it's just such a dope. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's just such a dope, dope, just like talk that
Speaker 2: she's done. And what I like most about it is
Speaker 2: she talks about how when she first started out, she
Speaker 2: was kind of reaching out to everyone and like begging
Speaker 2: everyone to help, and it was like wearing this stinky,
Speaker 2: smelly coat, and it offended people that people don't want
Speaker 2: to help you if you're not willing to help yourself.
Speaker 2: And once she took off that code of desperation and
Speaker 2: decided to do it anyway, then that's when people are
Speaker 2: coming to her and she started attracting like the things
Speaker 2: that she wanted. So if you get a chance you
Speaker 2: need a little like motivation, google Ava Duverne smelly coat
Speaker 2: and watch it's like maybe like ten minutes watch this talk.
Speaker 2: It's amazing.
Speaker 1: That's like fake it till you make it. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: even if you're nervous, or even if you are desperate,
Speaker 1: you just have to walk in like you already got
Speaker 1: the job.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or at the very least, just just do it.
Speaker 2: That's one thing. We live in such an amazing age
Speaker 2: and that like you might say, oh, I really want
Speaker 2: to be on TV. No one wants to put you
Speaker 2: on TV. Hello, YouTube is free? Or I really want
Speaker 2: to be a writer, but you can't get into a
Speaker 2: magazine start a blog. So it's like there are micro
Speaker 2: ways that you can do macro things, you know, and
Speaker 2: so you know, if you do such a good job,
Speaker 2: sometimes what happens is you draw such an audience that
Speaker 2: those those larger outlets that you want to be a
Speaker 2: part of start coming to you.
Speaker 1: Yes, ma'am. Well, if you want to start a podcast,
Speaker 1: just do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, do it. Google your way through like Mandy exactly.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, oh you know what we need to talk about?
Speaker 1: Hashtag stay mad Abby.
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, this one gave me such a giggle.
Speaker 1: I love brown people. They're so clever they are. Let's
Speaker 1: do the recap. So basically this is about the Supreme
Speaker 1: Court case. Abigail Fisher is a white college student from
Speaker 1: Texas who's suing the University of Texas overclaims that she
Speaker 1: was denied admission to the school based on the fact
Speaker 1: that she's not white. And she's referring to this program
Speaker 1: called top ten where ut for ten percent of I
Speaker 1: forget how exactly how it works, but like for ten
Speaker 1: percent of new admissions, they factor in race as one
Speaker 1: of the factors of admission. So she's sue them, like
Speaker 1: seven years ago in this court case is now in
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, and it's been hilarious people's reaction on
Speaker 1: social media.
Speaker 2: Yes, and so people have been sharing like brown folks
Speaker 2: have been sharing themselves in their capping gown or like
Speaker 2: lifting all of their amazing degrees and hashtags stay mad, Abby,
Speaker 2: which has been hilarious. One of my favorites is like
Speaker 2: this young girl leaning over a banister in her in
Speaker 2: her gown from graduation, and she says, and I guess
Speaker 2: this is she's actually attending or graduated from the same
Speaker 2: school that Abby wanted to get into. And she references
Speaker 2: this Chris Brown look at Me Now on song where
Speaker 2: he says, how y'all so mad? You can't even get
Speaker 2: into the club? You're still outside? And so that's the song.
Speaker 2: So she says like under the caption, how you mad,
Speaker 2: but you can't even get into the university? You still outside?
Speaker 2: And it just had me giggling. I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: look at me now, Abby.
Speaker 1: Do you know it's truly insane though, is the fact
Speaker 1: that someone points it out and earth because this has
Speaker 1: been through many lower courts already and somebody found out
Speaker 1: that her SAT scores and her GPA, even if she
Speaker 1: had been black, she wouldn't have gotten into the school.
Speaker 1: Which is are we discussing this at the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: level and it's given away to so much other crap,
Speaker 1: Like Justice antonin Scalia said some really stupid stuff. He
Speaker 1: was and somehow on the in the first day of
Speaker 1: oral arguments, which was last week, he was responding to
Speaker 1: the to Abby's attorney or I forget which attorney he
Speaker 1: was responding to, but he basically said, in a nutshell,
Speaker 1: you know, wouldn't it be better in some cases if
Speaker 1: you know black kids went to lesser schools so that
Speaker 1: they didn't feel so challenged by the material and that
Speaker 1: they you know, wouldn't be so intimidated. I mean that
Speaker 1: was weren't his exact words, but that was a sentiment
Speaker 1: behind it. Yeah, just like such, I'm like, great, this
Speaker 1: is a Supreme Court justice, Supreme Court justice who, by
Speaker 1: the way, has their job for eternity.
Speaker 2: For eternity, so let's hope eternity comes quick.
Speaker 1: For oh, so people are serving him up.
Speaker 2: To Yeah, and it just makes you just so like wow,
Speaker 2: this is supposed to be the unbiased law of the land,
Speaker 2: the voice of like law in our country, and this
Speaker 2: guy's was saying that, like, people of color can't possibly
Speaker 2: keep up at ut at these Ivy League schools, and
Speaker 2: that's just don't.
Speaker 1: Don't expect anything out of them. Just yeah, they'll never
Speaker 1: keep up. This is what I'm talk about when we
Speaker 1: talk about like when people when when black people brown
Speaker 1: people talk about having to work twice as hard to
Speaker 1: prove themselves. Like this is what we're talking about. Because
Speaker 1: someone's thinking you only got that job because you're black
Speaker 1: and Bush, or someone's thinking, like if you you probably
Speaker 1: can't even keep up with this, Like we have low
Speaker 1: expectations of what you're capable of, you know when you
Speaker 1: walk in a room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then add on top of that, being a
Speaker 2: woman in life is amazing.
Speaker 1: Whatever. Some of the smartest people I went to h
Speaker 1: I went to UGA University of Georgia down south, Like, hey, bulldogs,
Speaker 1: seven percent I think seven percent or less Black students,
Speaker 1: but like the smartest people on campus for the black women,
Speaker 1: I swear to God, and they're like, I don't know
Speaker 1: one black student from UGA who was not off doing
Speaker 1: They made some things right now, I don't know one.
Speaker 1: I can't think of one. And it was a small
Speaker 1: it was a small world. I knew them all. They
Speaker 1: don't knew each other, of course. So moving on.
Speaker 2: Right from buzzworthy, I hope you guys are buzzing with both.
Speaker 2: If you have any buzzer things and you're like, I
Speaker 2: want to hear your opinion, then please, please please. You
Speaker 2: can tweet us at the BA podcast, go to Brown
Speaker 2: Ambition on Facebook, and you can email us.
Speaker 1: At Brown Ambition Podcast at gmail dot com.
Speaker 2: Boom.
Speaker 3: I hope I got that right, I think so.
Speaker 2: So it is now time for Brown Break.
Speaker 1: The best time of the day.
Speaker 2: Don't we have like somebody special did something special for us?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we have a little oh yeah, one of
Speaker 1: our listeners, Oh now I'm going to forget her name.
Speaker 1: I had it up and now I forgot it. One
Speaker 1: of our listeners came up with a little jingle like
Speaker 1: a little Brown Break song, and I want to play
Speaker 1: it for you guys. It's super sweet. Okay, yeah, so
Speaker 1: here it is. This This jingle is from Quinn. I
Speaker 1: don't want to send her last name or say her
Speaker 1: last name, just in case she doesn't want me putting
Speaker 1: her on blasts like that. But thank you so much, Quinn.
Speaker 1: And here's her little jingle.
Speaker 4: I need a brown break, baby, All I need is
Speaker 4: a brown break.
Speaker 1: Wasn't that cute?
Speaker 2: Yes, Quinn, you got a great voice. I love it.
Speaker 2: I would love for people to send in some brown ambition,
Speaker 2: not brown ambisson, brown break jingles, because you know we
Speaker 2: don't have the best voices. Although you can't tell me that. No.
Speaker 1: One of my friends is like, can you guys stop singing?
Speaker 1: Actually like, oh hate her.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do the jersey clap first of all.
Speaker 1: She is. But you know, your friends always tell you
Speaker 1: the truth.
Speaker 2: I know. But I mean, you know, a little song
Speaker 2: here and there. I mean I could see maybe we
Speaker 2: won't have a full out musical like we did that
Speaker 2: last song. I'm doing our last podcast. But I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't I like a little jig here and there.
Speaker 1: But even if you can't sing, just send us some
Speaker 1: if you have a brown break that you want to
Speaker 1: take enough to share them on air. We've gotten some
Speaker 1: quirky ones. Some people want to take a break from millennials.
Speaker 1: Ooh that I take offense too.
Speaker 2: That's actually my brown break.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's go right into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So my brown break is not I'm not taking
Speaker 2: a break from millennials the individuals. I'm taking a break
Speaker 2: from the word millennials. So, for those of you who
Speaker 2: are unaware, millennials are like the new boomers. They're born
Speaker 2: between the ages of nineteen eighty three and the year
Speaker 2: two thousand and one, and I don't know, just you know,
Speaker 2: it's just so annoying. Everything is millennials, millennials, millennials, millennial.
Speaker 2: It's like nobody wants to advertise or speak to or
Speaker 2: reach out to any other age group. The millennials are
Speaker 2: just like the only thing people are talking about. And
Speaker 2: I'm sick of it. Am I hating? Yes? I am,
Speaker 2: because I go ahead.
Speaker 1: There's always this obsession with the younger generation to like, oh,
Speaker 1: what do they want? What kind of geans are they wearing?
Speaker 1: Where are they shopping? They're like, they don't even have
Speaker 1: the money to spend in your store like their parents
Speaker 1: or I mean whatever. Like older millennials, obviously we have
Speaker 1: money and we were like professionals. But I'm like, maybe
Speaker 1: there's no reason why you shouldn't be targeting like the
Speaker 1: Gen x's. You're not absolute yet Tiff, You're still relevant.
Speaker 1: I know, well, you know, I just it's important.
Speaker 2: I just missed the millennial mark off by not too much,
Speaker 2: but still, I'm just you know, it is. I guess
Speaker 2: I'm just so sick of like people acting like there's
Speaker 2: no other like demographic population, that this is like the
Speaker 2: it population, and then like in ten years it'll be
Speaker 2: the new whatever they'll call the babies babies below you guys.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm just so sick of that word millennial.
Speaker 2: And I'm willing and able to take a brown break
Speaker 2: from that word. I don't want to hear it. Just gonnakay.
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna call you guys. Hey, you well, that
Speaker 2: was a gen Z. What's who's gen Z? That's below?
Speaker 1: And gen Z is like my little brother, he's nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety two. I think it's like the nineties babies. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna call them. I met someone who
Speaker 1: was born in ninety eight and they're like a teenager,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, happening.
Speaker 2: What in ninety eight I was like graduating high school?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, well I was still young.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, we can get on the side. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I know, I feel that way though, I want.
Speaker 2: To welcome you with Ben Gay. I'm gonna welcome you
Speaker 2: with mom jeans.
Speaker 1: I already wear and use those items, do you know what?
Speaker 1: You know what? I had my first experience, not my first,
Speaker 1: but like I was thinking, you know, they're making a new,
Speaker 1: a new dirty dancing remake are with Abigail Breslin. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be on TV. I think ABC Family or something
Speaker 1: like that. But I'm like, it pains me to think
Speaker 1: that some young women, some young girls out there, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be their first dirty dancing. Yeah, they're not going
Speaker 1: to know. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer was.
Speaker 2: That was like the best movie ever.
Speaker 1: It still is so bad yet so good.
Speaker 2: I know, has it has anybody called you.
Speaker 1: Ma'am yet ma'am? Well, I'm from the South, so okay.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, like the first time that happened,
Speaker 2: I was like, who are they talking to?
Speaker 1: Not me?
Speaker 2: Were like when someone says like, oh no, ask the lady.
Speaker 2: I remember the first time that happened, I was like,
Speaker 2: in my.
Speaker 1: Life, ask the lady.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And that was like the lady, who's that?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 2: I'm the lady. I'm a girl all the buzzwords of
Speaker 2: getting older.
Speaker 1: It's a ballad brown break.
Speaker 2: Yes, So what about you? What are you breaking from? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna do. I want to do this
Speaker 1: in a diplomatic way, as I like to do all
Speaker 1: things as pissing off as few people as possible. Like
Speaker 1: I've only been engaged for a couple of weeks and
Speaker 1: I'm trying. I'm cool about it. It's cool. You know,
Speaker 1: it's awesome. Love is real, marriage is great. But what
Speaker 1: I didn't expect is people. What I was afraid of
Speaker 1: is people being like so enthusiastic and like dragging me
Speaker 1: in the hallways and like, you know, making a big scene.
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of shy when it comes to this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But in some cases, what I've gotten
Speaker 1: is people like dumping their baggage on me, like their
Speaker 1: marriage and like wedding baggage on me. Like I've heard
Speaker 1: people tell me, you know, complain about, oh, when you
Speaker 1: get married, such and such happens, You're like anymore, like like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: it's very expensive, you know, don't spend so much in
Speaker 1: the wedding. It's really expensive and you've only got like
Speaker 1: a half and half chance anyway, whoa like actual and
Speaker 1: then one person when I told I was engaged, one
Speaker 1: person I actually was excited to tell her. The first
Speaker 1: thing she said was why now, like because he wanted
Speaker 1: to marry me.
Speaker 2: Now I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a yeah I mean and not letting
Speaker 1: it get to me. But I just I feel like
Speaker 1: it's making me even more cognizant of how because I
Speaker 1: think in New York especially, it's like, you know, women,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be all about your career and you
Speaker 1: come here to really further yourself, you know, on a
Speaker 1: personal level, and then like relationships are great, but they're
Speaker 1: not like, you know, no one's coming here to get
Speaker 1: their mrs degree, you know what I mean. And so
Speaker 1: I feel like the initial reaction is always like, oh,
Speaker 1: someone else is getting engaged, Like marriage is so lame anyway,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna lie. I've rolled my eye that
Speaker 1: you know that the all the engagement posts and like
Speaker 1: awkward engagement photos people post on Facebook. But it's made
Speaker 1: me realize that, like, you should be more careful of
Speaker 1: your words around someone who's you know, making this huge
Speaker 1: like leap or this huge change.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, because they're excited and now she should be.
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful, amazing thing. And I feel like sometimes
Speaker 2: it's like the negativity like screams louder than the positivity
Speaker 2: because like you know, because I like, I know so
Speaker 2: many people who are in great relationships, but it's like
Speaker 2: they don't talk about it much unless you know them
Speaker 2: really personally. But people who are not, those are the
Speaker 2: ones that you hear all the time and you're like,
Speaker 2: is that it is? That's how it's going to be now,
Speaker 2: you know, two people decide for themselves.
Speaker 1: The best thing I did as I got older, like
Speaker 1: in relationships, is stop asking my friends for advice on
Speaker 1: every little thing that my partner did, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like he said this, but what does that mean? No,
Speaker 1: that's just like more an nooise that you don't need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you just got to tune out because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's you and that person.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's so important to keep Like one of my
Speaker 2: best friends, she's got a great relationship, and honestly, I
Speaker 2: can count on one hand that anytime that we've discussed
Speaker 2: like him and honestly, and even then it's been like
Speaker 2: very light. And so I've just learned from her that, like,
Speaker 2: you know what, keep it that way. They're so great together.
Speaker 2: I mean, they begin it forever. Whenever I see them,
Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, it's like they just started dating. They're
Speaker 2: just like fun together, they laugh. I mean they've been
Speaker 2: together far ever, and I'm just like, wow, there's still
Speaker 2: such lightness here. And I know there had to have
Speaker 2: been a lot of ups and downs, but I don't
Speaker 2: personally know because she's been very good at keeping that
Speaker 2: until I've mimicked that with Superman, that like, you know,
Speaker 2: to keep those things even with my close friends, to
Speaker 2: myself because ultimately, what does my sister have to do
Speaker 2: with what's happening, you know, with you know, unless like
Speaker 2: you're an abusive relationship, then of course tell and ask
Speaker 2: for help. But if you guys are just going through
Speaker 2: normal relationship ups and downs and oh we had an
Speaker 2: argument or I don't like the way he said that,
Speaker 2: and I asked him if I look back, and he
Speaker 2: didn't say no, right way, Like those are things you
Speaker 2: can keep to yourself.
Speaker 1: Plus, don't you know, I was always that girlfriend who's like,
Speaker 1: oh he showed up five minutes late, we hate him now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then once you forgave him, Like, oh you forgave
Speaker 1: him already. God, you're weak, Like I used to judge
Speaker 1: people so harsh. I don't know why, so uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like definitely you don't want to because your
Speaker 1: friends will always stand up, like if you know, good
Speaker 1: friends will always like if you are upset at somebody,
Speaker 1: they will be ten times once you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: and it's hard for.
Speaker 2: Them to get past that. And exactly, you don't want
Speaker 2: your friends looking at your guy like, m we'll see
Speaker 2: how long you last. I heard about you yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really protect that, so I say, you know,
Speaker 1: and plus listen, I come from a broken home many times,
Speaker 1: like I have enough of my own hang ups about marriage,
Speaker 1: like it's a huge accomplishment that I'm even like in
Speaker 1: a space where I feel confident in getting married. And
Speaker 1: I just feel like, you don't know what someone's personal
Speaker 1: story is when you, you know, lay your own baggage on them.
Speaker 1: So Brown break for the marriage, hate us.
Speaker 2: You millennial marriage. There's no more from you.
Speaker 1: It hasn't it hasn't been millennials, you know.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: I'm just are the ones you're excited.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to blend our brown breaks together. That's what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, got it. Sorry, I'll ask you what you
Speaker 1: did now. I caught up?
Speaker 2: What about some some No, it's not time for winds.
Speaker 2: It's time for tips, man.
Speaker 1: I think for tips this week. So we had a
Speaker 1: reader question and she really wanted to know her names Elena.
Speaker 1: I believe Lena wants to know if we can recommend
Speaker 1: books been essential or monumental to our careers. If you
Speaker 1: can't choose one, could we start sharing a recommended book
Speaker 1: for listeners at the end of each show.
Speaker 2: I actually like that idea. Lena, You is smart, You
Speaker 2: is intelligent, You is special.
Speaker 1: People do read books?
Speaker 2: See, Yeah, I know. And honestly, I like, look, I'm
Speaker 2: looking at my Kindle right now. So I'm a Kindle snob.
Speaker 2: I'm like Kindle Fire. You might as well just get
Speaker 2: another laptop. I like my Kindle What is it called
Speaker 2: paper white?
Speaker 1: You're a purist? Yeah, yeah, paper right too.
Speaker 2: I am. I'm like, I just want my Kendle just
Speaker 2: for reading. If I need all the other stuff, I
Speaker 2: just use my cell phone. But somebody did. I won
Speaker 2: an award and I got a free Kindle Fire that's
Speaker 2: still in the packaging. So someone's getting that for Christmas giftings. Okay,
Speaker 2: what totally Okay, So I'll give you my top. Well,
Speaker 2: I have a bunch of books that I love, but
Speaker 2: I'll give you two, Leida to start with one The
Speaker 2: Alchemist by Paolo Coelo. It is one of my favorite
Speaker 2: books of all time. To me, if you are like
Speaker 2: chasing a dream, it's just like a great book to
Speaker 2: read for if you are kind of like in that
Speaker 2: mindset he really talks about. The book is a it's
Speaker 2: a fiction book about a journey of a young boy,
Speaker 2: but it's so beautifully written. There's so many quotables. It's
Speaker 2: actually like one of the best selling books of all time,
Speaker 2: Pala Coello's book. And if you just read it, just
Speaker 2: take your time. Almost everyone that I know that's read it,
Speaker 2: it's like, oh my gosh, I love that book. And
Speaker 2: what he really just what you really learn at the
Speaker 2: end is that the journey and the dream of are
Speaker 2: one and the same, and to really like, how do
Speaker 2: you go forth in life and making sure that the
Speaker 2: thing you're striving for is also in alignment in the
Speaker 2: way you're striving for it. So The Alchemist like Alchemist
Speaker 2: by Paolo Coelo. And my second book I'll suggest to
Speaker 2: you is The Four Hour work Week by Tim Ferris
Speaker 2: Ferris with an F. I love that book because Tim
Speaker 2: Ferris is what it's part of. Well, he coined this
Speaker 2: term the new rich, so the old witch for this.
Speaker 2: You work, work, work, and you get old and then
Speaker 2: you retire and you live this good life. Tim Ferris
Speaker 2: is like, well, I don't want to have to be
Speaker 2: old to enjoy money and enjoy life, so he said,
Speaker 2: I want to be the new rich, you know. Instead,
Speaker 2: Tim Ferris believes that you should take many retirements throughout
Speaker 2: your life, like working really hard, taking a break, working
Speaker 2: really hard, taking a break, or just redesigning or practicing
Speaker 2: lifestyle design where you are actively designing your life to
Speaker 2: be what you wanted to be. And in The Four
Speaker 2: Hour work Week he teaches you how to do so
Speaker 2: through delegation, automation, all of these great tools. It's he
Speaker 2: I used that book to help me build a budgetista
Speaker 2: and like design the life that I'm living now and
Speaker 2: that like you know, I work for myself and I
Speaker 2: travel a lot and I enjoy what I do. So yeah,
Speaker 2: if you're if you're even if you're not looking to
Speaker 2: start a business. It's just a great book for anyone
Speaker 2: who's kind of like, I don't want to live the
Speaker 2: traditional like trajectory of life of working really hard and
Speaker 2: retiring when I'm old. I want to have fun now.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So those yeah, those are my two.
Speaker 1: What about you, Mandy, I need to read both those books.
Speaker 1: Those are books that I've always heard about but I've
Speaker 1: never like gotten around to. Meanwhile, I've been reading Harry
Speaker 1: Potter series, like sometimes, what.
Speaker 2: Am I gonna have time? I mean between these sty
Speaker 2: Potter books.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so bad. I'm such a nerd here. I
Speaker 1: am like critiquing all these Star Wars fans who are
Speaker 1: like gigging out. Meanwhile, that was that was me when
Speaker 1: Harry Potter came into theories theaters but matter.
Speaker 2: So I've read them all to go ahead.
Speaker 1: So I thought about this and this is one of
Speaker 1: my favorite books. And I discovered it because when I
Speaker 1: started doing personal finance, I had no idea what I
Speaker 1: was doing, and I kind of learned by trial and error.
Speaker 1: And one of the books I came across, which happens
Speaker 1: to be free, is called Think and Grow Rich. Think
Speaker 1: and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. This book is almost
Speaker 1: a century old. It might even be No, it was
Speaker 1: written in the thirties and nineteen thirties, so it's over set.
Speaker 1: What's seventy years old? This book, like literally Think and
Speaker 1: Grow Rich, It is free because it's out of the
Speaker 1: public It's in the public domain. You can google Think
Speaker 1: and Grow Rich pdf. You can download the pdf, print
Speaker 1: it out, whatever you want. It is the most basic
Speaker 1: and smart personal finance advice. It is if you read
Speaker 1: any personal finance book today, I mean Tony from Tim
Speaker 1: Ferris probably to like Tony Robbins, to Susie ormand Dave Ramsey.
Speaker 1: All of those principles are literally come from this book.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not saying they're pulling from them. But
Speaker 1: if you read personal finance books long enough, a lot
Speaker 1: of things repeat themselves, right, like automate your savings, have
Speaker 1: a goal, have a plan for your goal, look ahead
Speaker 1: to the future. And he interviewed five hundred millionaires to
Speaker 1: find the success formula. Now, if you've read the synopsis
Speaker 1: of Tony Robbins's new, incredibly powerful, incredibly successful new book,
Speaker 1: it's basically the same concept. No shade to Tony Robbins,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying like, if you want the free version
Speaker 1: and a shorter one. By the way, Napoleon Hills. Thinking
Speaker 1: Garridge is awesome and he's just a fascinating person too,
Speaker 1: if you want to read about him. He's born into
Speaker 1: poverty in like Virginia, and the fact that he grew
Speaker 1: up to become an advisor to Andrew Carnegie and sold
Speaker 1: over seven million copies of this book. Like there's a
Speaker 1: reason he sold that many. I love Thinking Garridge. I
Speaker 1: kind of want to reread it. I mean, it's not
Speaker 1: like the sexiest book, but it's so simple and so basic.
Speaker 1: And the fact that you can get a PDF of
Speaker 1: it and it's you know it really it really has
Speaker 1: like those main primary tenants. There was a book on
Speaker 1: my desk today I got called The Index Card, which
Speaker 1: is coming out written by oh, another really good author,
Speaker 1: Helene Olin. This book is called The Index Card, and
Speaker 1: it's supposed to you know it's it's it's the idea
Speaker 1: that all the personal finance advice you need can fit
Speaker 1: onto an index card. I believe that, yes, And so
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I'm talking about here, like these
Speaker 1: basic tenants, like all these personal finance books, it's more
Speaker 1: about finding the flavor that works for you. Yes, because
Speaker 1: they all should be telling you some of the things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean, So like spend lesson
Speaker 2: you make, you know, invest automate. You're right that, like
Speaker 2: unless some new technology comes out, then it's basically the
Speaker 2: same tent. It's almost like like like the health food
Speaker 2: like the health industry, right, like exercise, eat right and
Speaker 2: eating moderation, you know what I mean. So it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, so what is someone going to tell me
Speaker 2: unless you come up with some like some magic thing,
Speaker 2: some new technology that totally changes the game. But other
Speaker 2: than that, you just have to eat in moderation and
Speaker 2: eat some vegetables every once in a while and move
Speaker 2: your body.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah. So I would love to start making sure
Speaker 1: some more books. I'm sitting here thinking of so many
Speaker 1: more that I could talk about.
Speaker 2: So yeah, me too, I'm just doing that. We should
Speaker 2: have this book in that book, I'm like, well I
Speaker 2: read so Mandy, it's that time again. It's time for
Speaker 2: the feel good section portion of the BA podcast. It's
Speaker 2: time for weed. I know you have a good win.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I've went deaf in one ear.
Speaker 2: See how many trying to come to me. You know what,
Speaker 2: I didn't even do my hey, hey hey, I forgot.
Speaker 1: See it's been a while, I know.
Speaker 2: And you guys didn't even remind me. Come on, ba listeners,
Speaker 2: make some.
Speaker 1: More special if you do it every once in a night.
Speaker 2: Oh really, you see how many trying to shut me
Speaker 2: down again?
Speaker 1: Okay, it's a little sensitive tonight.
Speaker 2: So did you want to go first? I know you
Speaker 2: had a really great win, or did you want me
Speaker 2: to go first?
Speaker 1: I can go first. I wanted to shout out Ray. Okay,
Speaker 1: my girl Isray Adventures of an Awkward Black Girl. Did
Speaker 1: you ever watch that YouTube series?
Speaker 2: Of course?
Speaker 1: So funny? Oh god, So she's coming out with her
Speaker 1: own podcast. O. First of all, she has a TV
Speaker 1: show coming on HBO, which is going to be already
Speaker 1: pretty huge. By the way, if you're listening, Isray's friends
Speaker 1: or cousins or publicist. We're trying to get her to
Speaker 1: come on the podcast. Yeah I heard that she's been
Speaker 1: tied up with the show, is what we've heard back.
Speaker 1: So maybe I'll should sweet Atesray and tell her to
Speaker 1: come on the Brand Ambition podcast. Yeah, it'd be awesome.
Speaker 1: But anyway, she has a new so the TV show's
Speaker 1: coming out. This new podcast sounds really cool. It's not
Speaker 1: just going to be like her talking. It's called Fruit.
Speaker 1: It debuts in February, and it's going to be an
Speaker 1: original fiction based podcast centered around a person called X,
Speaker 1: a football player who's gay, okay, saying it's a guy.
Speaker 1: I don't know, which sounds really unique and interesting. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just love her. I just love her
Speaker 1: point of view. I think it's so different and I'm
Speaker 1: excited that she's like finding another platform to tell her stories.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good. I mean, it's the Ray. It's just
Speaker 2: it's just so dope because I remember, like I don't
Speaker 2: remember how many years ago it was, but my sister,
Speaker 2: one of my sisters, saying, oh my god, you totally
Speaker 2: have to watch this girl on YouTube. She's just like us.
Speaker 2: And I was like what, And I remember the first
Speaker 2: episode she showed me, It's the Ray, was like in
Speaker 2: the car, like wrapping the gangs, the rap as somebody
Speaker 2: pulls up, and I'm like, that is so me. The
Speaker 2: least gangs the person, you know, but like yeah, like
Speaker 2: in the car, like you know, like just dug down
Speaker 2: in the car until someone pulls up and you're like, Hi,
Speaker 2: how you doing.
Speaker 1: My favorite Oh, go ahead, go ahead. My favorite episode
Speaker 1: is the Stapler where she has to go to Anger
Speaker 1: Management where she like someone forget she she like takes
Speaker 1: a stapler and threatens to like kill somebody with it
Speaker 1: in the office, like she has one of her awkward
Speaker 1: outburst and then she has to go to Anger Management.
Speaker 1: That's where she meets White Jays.
Speaker 2: We love music.
Speaker 1: Oh. Also, she has a book out too.
Speaker 2: That's right, she does. I saw it like on I
Speaker 2: think one of my favorite podcasters, Crystal or An or
Speaker 2: Kid Fury, didn't they like host her party in New York.
Speaker 2: I was like, thanks for the I don't know, thanks
Speaker 2: for the invite, Kid Fury. If you know, you just
Speaker 2: let him know that hiss like he feels about Beyonce,
Speaker 2: the way he feels about Beyonce I feel about him.
Speaker 2: He'll know what that means.
Speaker 1: He's the most. You have her book on my I
Speaker 1: have her book about my night standing. To pick that up,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I have too many Shandon rhymes. His book.
Speaker 2: You have to get on. You have to get like
Speaker 2: audible or something that like, so you can listen to them.
Speaker 1: That's true. I should do that, all right, well, that's
Speaker 1: my that's my win. What's your win?
Speaker 2: No, but I thought you had like a special award
Speaker 2: that you got.
Speaker 1: Oh I already forgot, since we recorded this already, I
Speaker 1: forgot what I said. Yeah, I was like a nudge nut.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got a too. I got a too too,
Speaker 1: my own horn real quick. So at Yahoo, which is
Speaker 1: a company with like a gajillion bajillion people's if it's
Speaker 1: really if anyone works at a company, you know, it's
Speaker 1: really hard to feel like your work is valued and
Speaker 1: like you're noticed and stuff. But this week, this past week,
Speaker 1: our global editor in Chief Martha Nelson, who by the way,
Speaker 1: was the first woman to ever be editor in chief
Speaker 1: of Time, Inc. And by the way, started in Style
Speaker 1: magazine and renovated, reinvigorated people dot com, huge, huge media icon,
Speaker 1: she presented me with a Media Excellence Award at Yahoo
Speaker 1: for having one of the highest for having a couple
Speaker 1: of like the really high high ranking stories the past
Speaker 1: six months. And it was it was really it was
Speaker 1: just like a really special, unexpected moment and awesome. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it felt really good.
Speaker 2: You see, Mandy, you have to ask for her autograph.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, she's gonna be wearing glasses and you
Speaker 2: can't ride the elevator with her. You have to ride separately. Right,
Speaker 2: I call you, Mandy Wintour.
Speaker 1: I did win. I did win an Apple TV, which
Speaker 1: I actually have no use for. I might regift it,
Speaker 1: don't I.
Speaker 2: Know for sure what I'm the queen of, especially for
Speaker 2: something good. I mean, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to pry out of my fiance's
Speaker 1: hands because he's really attached to it, although we do
Speaker 1: not need it. We have like three other mechanisms for
Speaker 1: watching Hulu on our television.
Speaker 2: No, he's like no, He's like it's new. Yeah, No,
Speaker 2: we don't need any more gadgets. My win is that,
Speaker 2: Daniel what is it? Holds Witz law holts Claw. I
Speaker 2: know that that police officer that he raped or molested
Speaker 2: or side of my just just a myriad of sexual
Speaker 2: crime assaults aga women of color in Ohio. Right it
Speaker 2: was Ohio?
Speaker 1: Yeah it was wait, no, no, no, remember we made
Speaker 1: this mistake before. It's Oklahoma, Oklahoma. Are you sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Because remember I was like, Ohio, you suck and then
Speaker 1: I read oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now I'm not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Oklahoma.
Speaker 2: One of the oh, sorry, states, we know things and.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was Oklahoma City, okay.
Speaker 2: And so he was found guilty and I watched the
Speaker 2: video in Verdicaster was being read, and I don't know,
Speaker 2: it just really struck me as strange that he was
Speaker 2: like crying hysterically. I don't know, I just like, but
Speaker 2: and not even crying out of remorse. That's I guess
Speaker 2: that's what struck me. That a lot of times, when
Speaker 2: you know, you see people, they get really upset when
Speaker 2: they realize they're going to go to jail for a
Speaker 2: long time. You can kind of see they're like, oh man,
Speaker 2: what a mistake. This is terrible, why did I do this?
Speaker 2: But he was really crying out of like self pity, like,
Speaker 2: oh my life, I'm like, you raped and sideomi and
Speaker 2: assaulted all of these women, and now you're crying out
Speaker 2: of self pity. I don't know, it just really just
Speaker 2: I mean, usually I feel bad for people when they're
Speaker 2: feeling bad, but I didn't. I just was disgusted, honestly
Speaker 2: by him. And oh, there was this great quote and
Speaker 2: I meant to pull it up, but basically his lawyer
Speaker 2: was trying to defend him, like he was dilligent. He
Speaker 2: was a good guy. He was honest, and he had integrity.
Speaker 2: He might have been a little overzealous in practicing the
Speaker 2: law as a police officer, but where would we be
Speaker 2: without men like him? And someone one of the women
Speaker 2: said we'd be safe safe, and I just thought, Wow,
Speaker 2: that's very telling. And I hope that he spends a long, long,
Speaker 2: long time away from the public because he's a danger
Speaker 2: to people, well to women of color anyway, he's a danger.
Speaker 1: It means so much when you especially in the year
Speaker 1: the last two years we've had as far as coverage
Speaker 1: of police violence against African America in general, it's nice
Speaker 1: to see someone finally be held accountable, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Like we just saw this week the same well this
Speaker 1: happened a week or so ago, but just recently, Freddie
Speaker 1: Gray's trial was declared a mistrial. And I'm like, how
Speaker 1: can you take someone into custody and between the time
Speaker 1: that you handcuff him and he rises at the police station,
Speaker 1: he's broken his neck and died, and yet no one's accountable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's just like Jerry's hung. The jury's confused like those Yeah,
Speaker 1: like very uh Liken get broken.
Speaker 2: You know, I've known people who've just been standing there
Speaker 2: and nothing's happened to them. Their neck has just magically snapped,
Speaker 2: Like what does that even mean? It's only because of
Speaker 2: the color of his skin that there's even a question
Speaker 2: that some police misconduct took place. And yeah, I don't think,
Speaker 2: you know, it's so crazy that I guess it's hard
Speaker 2: for people who are not brown to wrap their mind
Speaker 2: around what it must feel like when people think that
Speaker 2: bad things ought to happen to you because of how
Speaker 2: you look, or that you must have done something to
Speaker 2: bring this about. I don't think that, you know, people
Speaker 2: who are not brown can fully appreciate what that feels
Speaker 2: like coming up where I have to think to myself
Speaker 2: sometimes like well, I don't know, like if I say
Speaker 2: something about this, you know, maybe a shop girl followed
Speaker 2: me or whatever, or maybe someone like yelled at me
Speaker 2: or kurstyett or call me like the N word, Like,
Speaker 2: you know, is anyone going to believe me one? Or
Speaker 2: like even when I was in school, I went to
Speaker 2: school with like my school was like very not diverse.
Speaker 2: I think I had like one other brown girl in
Speaker 2: my middle school, my best friend Veronica and things would happen.
Speaker 2: I remember like finding out that Veronica was like suspended
Speaker 2: in like sixth or seventh grade for fighting a boy.
Speaker 2: And it was like, what Veronica. And when I went
Speaker 2: to her house after school, I'm like, what happened? She
Speaker 2: was like we were sitting in history class. They were
Speaker 2: talking about slavery, and one of the boys, who was
Speaker 2: not brown, who was right, said, oh, like if you
Speaker 2: if this was back in the day, you'd be a
Speaker 2: slave and word and and the teacher said nothing. And
Speaker 2: so Veronica looked at the teacher looked at the boy,
Speaker 2: and nothing was said, like no, chastising, no, don't say that,
Speaker 2: or that's terrible, or go to the principal. So see,
Speaker 2: the thing is, if they knew Veronica, like I knew Roonica,
Speaker 2: he would have took a step buck. Ronica is not
Speaker 2: the one. So she said, I got up and I
Speaker 2: jumped on him and I told him that, like and
Speaker 2: you know what, it's a shame that, like, but why
Speaker 2: does a sixth grader have to be the one to
Speaker 2: tell a boy that that's not okay? And like, you know,
Speaker 2: but of course she's the one who got suspended. I
Speaker 2: mean she you know, she shouldn't have like, you know,
Speaker 2: jumped on him. But at the same time, he should
Speaker 2: have got suspended too, but he did not. And so yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't think the people who don't live in this
Speaker 2: skin basically can fully appreciate what that feels like to
Speaker 2: know that you always come from a place of guilt
Speaker 2: and have to work your way to innocence in the
Speaker 2: eyes of the public.
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's absolutely true. And I mean I
Speaker 1: have white family. My mother is white, and she'll never
Speaker 1: understand fully, but I completely believe that you can want
Speaker 1: to understand or at least be open to listening. Like
Speaker 1: I think listening is so important. Like sometimes you just
Speaker 1: got to shut up and listen. I've always said this before,
Speaker 1: like white people, white wait, anybody in general, just shut
Speaker 1: up and listen. Like for I'm really proud of this.
Speaker 1: At Yahoo on Yahoo Finance, we just put up a
Speaker 1: story today, a video where we had six or seven women,
Speaker 1: men and women professionals of color you know around the
Speaker 1: New York area come into the studio and we just
Speaker 1: asked them, you know, what is it like being the
Speaker 1: only one in your office or being a minority in
Speaker 1: your office today? And it was fascinating how different each
Speaker 1: of their stories were. You know, one woman's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm a Latina, so everyone thinks that I can dance
Speaker 1: and I'm sassy. One of the people in the video
Speaker 1: is my friend from college, Tammy, and she's, you know,
Speaker 1: talking about how she's a black woman, she's incredibly accomplished.
Speaker 1: She works for the New York Times, and she's saying
Speaker 1: how I have to be careful not to raise my
Speaker 1: voice or someone will just think even if I'm passionate
Speaker 1: about something, their immediate thought will be, oh, you're just
Speaker 1: an angry black woman. Yes, you know. So I would say, like,
Speaker 1: you know, you can watch, you can read, you can watch,
Speaker 1: you can listen, and you can learn. You may not
Speaker 1: feel at one hundred percent, but you can at least
Speaker 1: appreciate that. And I think that that can do a
Speaker 1: world of difference, make a world of difference.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm hoping like that the way that kids are
Speaker 2: growing up now that I mean, you can't help but
Speaker 2: be injected with the fact that people are different, and
Speaker 2: you know, you can't hide anymore in like an all
Speaker 2: white neighborhood or all this neighborhood, or you know, you
Speaker 2: you're forced but well, exactly like we're doing exactly through
Speaker 2: your ear, like whether it's music, whether it's social media.
Speaker 1: You know, but the year twenty forty two majority minorities
Speaker 1: in America? Ooh, majority minority, majority, it's happening. Get on board.
Speaker 2: Isn't so crazy that we have to even say the
Speaker 2: fact that the that someone is a majority by definition
Speaker 2: means that they cannot be a minority. And yet that's
Speaker 2: the word that's still used, right you know, h ba, people,
Speaker 2: what are we going to do with this world? Keep
Speaker 2: being fabulous?
Speaker 1: I know what they're gonna do. They're gonna email us
Speaker 1: at the AMM Ambition Podcast if you have any questions,
Speaker 1: career questions, personal finance questions, Christmas questions. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's Christmas time. I know we have one more show
Speaker 1: before holiday.
Speaker 2: I know it's a little gift to you, a little
Speaker 2: if you know. I'd love to know what you guys
Speaker 2: are getting people up for Christmas or how are you
Speaker 2: dealing with that. I'm not even gonna lie. I have
Speaker 2: not purchased not one Christmas gift. It's not because I'm
Speaker 2: like the cheap budget Lisa. It's because I hate Christmas
Speaker 2: shopping honestly.
Speaker 1: Oh, oh, someone's in trouble.
Speaker 2: Woo woo. And on that note, we're out. They're coming
Speaker 2: for Mandy. They're coming for Mandy.
Speaker 1: All right, I have a good night. We'll see you
Speaker 1: guys next week.
Speaker 2: All right, by I talk to you guys later
