Speaker 3: use Italian and it's a Turkey Italian Turkey Italian sausage.
Speaker 3: So we have onions, you know, whatever kind of dresses

Speaker 3: a fancy kind of taco dip. So you really can
Speaker 3: throw whatever you want person in there. This is just
Speaker 3: what we like in ours. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like to use a few different cheeses.

Speaker 3: I have cream cheese, Velveta and pepper jack cheese.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, so we got a lot of flavor and
Speaker 1: a lot of gooey that's going on. Yes, So I'm
Speaker 1: curious because you have the you have the onions, and

Speaker 1: then that's tomatoes. Okay, are you cooking all of those ingredients?
Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, Well I'm gonna cook.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna actually like kind of well, I don't know,
Speaker 3: I'm probably not gonna saltate actually, but I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: put it all in once the cheese is melty.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm excited, So get to get to cook in.
Speaker 1: I'm starving.
Speaker 2: I ain't even breakfast or nothing.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's gonna be a good little line, it is.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm gonna cook the meat first, so let
Speaker 3: me go ahead and turn this on. Okay, man, I played,
Speaker 3: y'all because usually I try to preheat the heaters before
Speaker 3: you guys start, So it's.
Speaker 4: Oh authentic the whole process.
Speaker 3: People be in the comments asking every little thing, well,
Speaker 3: what did you put this on?
Speaker 4: What did you write?
Speaker 2: So now y'all can see they see it stup by stuff.
Speaker 4: It's on medium heat, y'all.
Speaker 2: So do we have any like butter or oil or
Speaker 2: cooking spray? You know what the most I have is
Speaker 2: that butter back. Okay, this works. It's so funny because
Speaker 2: I saw it and I said, they don't need butter.
Speaker 1: A little bit.
Speaker 3: It's just a little were from the South we put
Speaker 3: we want the fattiest and everything.
Speaker 1: I live and die by butter. I go through like
Speaker 1: a stick every two days. Really, it's terrible. Did you
Speaker 1: ever go through a phase where you ate butter? My
Speaker 1: two year old is actively using butter like it's a snickers. Really,
Speaker 1: she was like, coming to kids, you should be like
Speaker 1: butter she dips your little fingers in it, she'll bite
Speaker 1: it like that's crazy. And then I'll see her and
Speaker 1: I have this face of like and then she'll look
Speaker 1: at me. Like when I was younger.
Speaker 3: I got really really sick one day and my mom
Speaker 3: and my sister they were so confused. And while I
Speaker 3: was sick, and then my mom went to the sink
Speaker 3: and she saw because I used to eat butter and
Speaker 3: rice together.
Speaker 4: You did, yes, And I put like a whole stick
Speaker 4: of butter. And I was so sick.
Speaker 3: And she went to the sink and saw this bowl
Speaker 3: and it just had butter, this stick caked.
Speaker 2: On the bottom.
Speaker 4: She's like, that's why your ass.
Speaker 2: You can get from it.
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess because I ate so much on
Speaker 3: one city.
Speaker 4: Like I just I was not feeling good.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I'm one of those parents like I give into everything
Speaker 1: my daughter does. So when she's like screaming for butter,
Speaker 1: I'm like.
Speaker 2: You know what, hand it to her. I'm like, you
Speaker 2: ain't nothing else.
Speaker 1: So but I never let my friends hear that, because
Speaker 1: my friends be always checking my parents and like, yo,
Speaker 1: she running you, and I'll be like, so I.
Speaker 4: Be handling your baby a stick of butter. It is crazy.
Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes I gotta do what I got to want
Speaker 2: whatever you want, but.
Speaker 1: I do it in silence. I've never confessed that to anyone.
Speaker 1: I'm sure, like, stick a butter in your purse just
Speaker 1: cause you want one. I should, I really should, you know.
Speaker 2: Nah, But I love her.
Speaker 1: I letter I let her take off a little piece
Speaker 1: of butter, a little whatever is left, you know.
Speaker 2: But in my mind, you know, one of my other
Speaker 2: homegirls said that, I'm like, look, man, he don't eat nothing.
Speaker 2: At this point.
Speaker 1: If she wants donuts for breakfast, I'm with it, Like
Speaker 1: calorie is a calorie, right.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 3: I understand that I was a very picky eater as
Speaker 3: a child, so I totally understand.
Speaker 2: But this is one of the things that I love. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: I was a skinny, mini person, and I feel like
Speaker 1: this is God's way of punishing.
Speaker 2: Me all the taxes my mom chold.
Speaker 1: To try to get us to gain weight, and now
Speaker 1: I get to experience, like what it's like to watch
Speaker 1: your kid never eat. Yeah, but take me back to
Speaker 1: what was going on in the era of rotel depth.
Speaker 3: Okay, So, like I don't know I was a child
Speaker 3: and we just used to always My family was really
Speaker 3: big on family gathering and so, like I said, we
Speaker 3: just used to always have this that every family get together.
Speaker 3: So it's kind of like one of those nostalgic thing
Speaker 3: for me. But then also when I got to college
Speaker 3: and I was kind of struggling, it didn't really have
Speaker 3: any money. It was just a quick, simple meal that
Speaker 3: you can make for like under twenty dollars and it's.
Speaker 2: A great it's a great and it lasts day.
Speaker 5: It lasts for days, yeah, like days, Yeah, for sure, really,
Speaker 5: And I think for me, like growing up in the South,
Speaker 5: like we love cooking, and I think this is like
Speaker 5: one of the first meals you kind of learned.
Speaker 4: How to cook as a kid because it's easy to
Speaker 4: put together, Like you learn how to brown meat when
Speaker 4: you like five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think this is one of the like
Speaker 3: the first things I really learned how to cook because
Speaker 3: it's just like all you gotta do is brown the meat,
Speaker 3: yea cheese, and at everything you want in it. So
Speaker 3: that's what I remember. I remember this is like one
Speaker 3: of the first things I learned how to cook.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really simple. I feel like you can't miss
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 4: It's full.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 1: So you guys were in college to start at college,
Speaker 1: I guess then, so you're in college not you guys
Speaker 1: knew each other, didn't know each other then?
Speaker 2: No, we had a yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I was actually in college in this small
Speaker 3: town in Texas. I'm from Houston, but I went to
Speaker 3: school in Nakadochhi's It's like two hours away from Houston.
Speaker 3: And like, I was working at Lows and I was
Speaker 3: getting paid like a little money. I thought I was
Speaker 3: really doing something. But me and my friend we actually
Speaker 3: between the two of us because she had a job.
Speaker 3: She was working at this department store called Bilks. I
Speaker 3: was working at Lows, and we had food stamps, so like.
Speaker 2: The actual food sense before it became a card. No,
Speaker 2: it was a card.
Speaker 3: They had the card back then because this is like
Speaker 3: twenty a living. So yeah, so we both had food steps.
Speaker 3: I think we was getting like two hundred dollars a
Speaker 3: piece a month, and we used to go to the
Speaker 3: grocery store and wrack up on everything.
Speaker 2: And this was one of my favorite things to cook.
Speaker 3: And I used to and buite my friends over and
Speaker 3: I would always make them this and like this pasta
Speaker 3: dish that was like really cheap to make that iced
Speaker 3: to use booba into it.
Speaker 2: Was my thing. A lot of you really can't use
Speaker 2: it for a lot of things.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's real cheese, right because it's I
Speaker 1: don't see. Yeah, I learned that the hard way after
Speaker 1: being on this show looking for velveda cheese in refrigerated department.
Speaker 4: That's one thing. It's like cheese and velvet. It really
Speaker 4: don't get cold, which is concerned. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: You put in the freezer, it'll come out. It's still
Speaker 4: not a yeah, it really won't know.
Speaker 3: It's like certain things like that you have to question,
Speaker 3: just like how Hawaiian punch never gets cold.
Speaker 2: That's how velvet is just one of them things like that.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that the freak out.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you it don't get cold.
Speaker 2: It's just you don't.
Speaker 4: But you don't because it gets the job done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, see, I.
Speaker 4: Grew up a little season.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit.
Speaker 3: So you put in the garlic, I'm gonna use garlic powder.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna use some ground peprika, some onion powder, a
Speaker 3: little Larry's and some black pepper. And the good thing
Speaker 3: about using Italian sash is too, is it's already seasoned well.
Speaker 2: So you don't have to a you don't have much.
Speaker 4: That's why I'm not.
Speaker 2: Really gonna use that much. Pretty much everything doesn't really
Speaker 2: have salt a need except for this.
Speaker 1: The Italian I'll do like a kel soup which is
Speaker 1: really really good, and the Italian sausage all the work.
Speaker 4: It really does like oh my god.
Speaker 2: And I'll be like, yeah, you know, I love you.
Speaker 3: Like you said, it's already really flavor yeah, used it
Speaker 3: in the spaghetti all that stuff.
Speaker 4: So for me, like I grew up kind of spoiled.
Speaker 3: So whenever I got to college, I just remember this
Speaker 3: being one of my goals because that was like the
Speaker 3: first time me really experienced and being broke was like
Speaker 3: in college because I was like, for the first time
Speaker 3: on my own, I.
Speaker 4: Had to have a job and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: You couldn't just call your parents be like hey, can
Speaker 1: I just get and They're like no, right, So it
Speaker 1: was like being an adult, you wanted it so bad, right.
Speaker 3: I think for me it was more so of I
Speaker 3: had the option to call my mom, but I wanted
Speaker 3: to be independent so bad because I was like, I
Speaker 3: have to prove this to myself that I can do it,
Speaker 3: you know, So I would go get my rotel and
Speaker 3: I would really like, you could eat on this for
Speaker 3: a good two three days for sure, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Speaker 3: I won't get of it either. And I'm one of
Speaker 3: those people I don't care.
Speaker 2: I eat what I want when I want, even if
Speaker 2: it's not breakfast food.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm the same. First of all, I don't even
Speaker 1: like breakfast food unless I cook it. I'm really weird
Speaker 1: about it. I feel like nobody can make a lot
Speaker 1: of breakfast food the way I yeah, except for I'm
Speaker 1: out here in Atlanta, shout out to eighty five South.
Speaker 1: But I did try the Atlanta some breakfast spot over here,
Speaker 1: and they had like the peach breakfast. Yeah, oh said,
Speaker 1: oh man, it's different. So I was like, Okay, some
Speaker 1: people can't make breakfast.
Speaker 3: Yeah, have a lot of good break they actually have.
Speaker 3: I'll say that about Atlanta. We have some really good
Speaker 3: breakfast foods out here. Like the breakfast out here is good.
Speaker 3: I know people complaining about Atlanta food a lot, but
Speaker 3: the breakfast spots out here are.
Speaker 2: The breakfast spots.
Speaker 1: About the food out here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I do too a little bit.
Speaker 3: I think if you Southern, like if you're from like us,
Speaker 3: being from Texas and being Houston specifically, like Houston really
Speaker 3: has some of the bits food in a mamrea, I'm
Speaker 3: not lying and so moving here. I just think a
Speaker 3: lot of the food is just very underwhelming. Like we
Speaker 3: have like a lot of cute places like that. You know,
Speaker 3: it's like a nice little vibe and a nice aesthetic,
Speaker 3: but the food is just always very underwhelming in my opinion,
Speaker 3: in comparison to like what I'm used to.
Speaker 1: When you say underwhelming, like the flavors, Yeah.
Speaker 3: The flavor, A lot of the menu options, Like a
Speaker 3: lot of places that I go to, the menus are
Speaker 3: very limited.
Speaker 2: They don't really have that many options.
Speaker 1: I think guys do the hot sauce in the person.
Speaker 4: Yes, she always she don't have it.
Speaker 2: That's the first thing she asked.
Speaker 3: You're just fast, period, Like I'm a sauce girl. I
Speaker 3: don't like no dry food sauce.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you guys are struggling separately in college getting
Speaker 1: the independent things you by choice and you not by choice.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I really I was kind of struggling
Speaker 3: a little bit, but yeah, I mean I could have
Speaker 3: called my parents, but I think I was kind of
Speaker 3: on the same thing because I grew up in the
Speaker 3: two parent household and me and my parents were really close.
Speaker 2: But I just think I was trying to like prove
Speaker 2: my independence to the Yeah, I like that free both.
Speaker 1: So how do you guys end up connecting?
Speaker 3: This is like years later, years later? Yeah, because we
Speaker 3: met Lex and I met. I was like, well it
Speaker 3: was like four years later, because you said twenty eleven,
Speaker 3: we met twenty fifteen. Yeah, me and you met like
Speaker 3: maybe like a year or two after I graduated from
Speaker 3: college and I had just moved back to Houston and
Speaker 3: you both finished college.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we both graduated, no college.
Speaker 2: Graduate, but you have the same degree.
Speaker 1: I was about to ask that, what's the same what's
Speaker 1: the degree mass communication? Okay, okay, yeah, so okay, you
Speaker 1: guys are headed in the same direction. Yeah, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: So tell me about the meeting of y'all kindred spirits.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we were working at a club bartender. She
Speaker 3: had never bartended before, and I really knew my way
Speaker 3: around the bar, so we kind of just started hustling together,
Speaker 3: like we figured out something that works for her. Like
Speaker 3: she's a very she's more believe it or not, She's
Speaker 3: way more social than I him.
Speaker 4: She's good at talking to people. So she would pretty
Speaker 4: much talk to the people.
Speaker 3: At the bar and I was making the drinks and
Speaker 3: she would be like, oh hey this man, I need
Speaker 3: too long islands incredible hulk in this. So I was
Speaker 3: making the drinks, she was kind of talking to the
Speaker 3: guys getting tips, and that's how we was making money.
Speaker 4: So yeah, we had a system and we was definitely
Speaker 4: cleaning up.
Speaker 2: This right that work.
Speaker 3: It's so funny because like us making money now together.
Speaker 3: It's funny because that's really how our friendship started. We've
Speaker 3: always just made money together. Yeah, like right off top.
Speaker 4: So that's how we met.
Speaker 3: We started talking and we realized we had the same
Speaker 3: degree and that we were interested in kind of like
Speaker 3: maybe doing radio type of stuff.
Speaker 4: We didn't know exactly what we.
Speaker 2: Were to do. Yeah, yeah, ye Houston.
Speaker 3: Well I'm from Orange, so I moved to Houston in
Speaker 3: what two thousand and seven, So I'm from a small
Speaker 3: small town, like it's like two hours from Houston. But yes,
Speaker 3: once we started talking and we realized we had a
Speaker 3: lot in common, the friendship just started from there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's how we met, and she ended up
Speaker 2: moving to Atlanta.
Speaker 3: We stayed in contact for the whole year she was
Speaker 3: out there, and then at the time, the girl that
Speaker 3: she had moved out here with they ended up going
Speaker 3: separate way, so she was like, you might as well
Speaker 3: just move out here.
Speaker 4: You're not doing nothing.
Speaker 2: I was like, that's when I was real broke. I
Speaker 2: was real broke.
Speaker 3: It's so funny because literally be her was just having
Speaker 3: this conversation in the kitchen before we started recording, and
Speaker 3: I literally told her exactly the same way the city like.
Speaker 3: I was like, I was like, bro you.
Speaker 2: Ain't doing nothing about here.
Speaker 4: I wasn't doing nothing. I was literally I was down to.
Speaker 1: My last three dollars, So you was like, come on there,
Speaker 1: come on, I'll be trying with my best friends, Like
Speaker 1: come on man.
Speaker 3: I literally packed my She told me to move down there,
Speaker 3: and three weeks later I had packed.
Speaker 4: She was here and I drove to Atlanta and I
Speaker 4: was like, we're gonna.
Speaker 2: Figure it out.
Speaker 4: So I was eating a lot of rotael my first year.
Speaker 1: That's hilarious.
Speaker 4: Some rotel was being made.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we were living to together for like the
Speaker 3: first six months that she lived here, Like, she was
Speaker 3: staying with me in my apartment and we used to
Speaker 3: be busting down some brot. Yes, I was living on
Speaker 3: her couch because I had a girl that was supposed
Speaker 3: to move out here with me, but she ended up
Speaker 3: flaking on me. Okay, So the money I had saved up,
Speaker 3: I was saving up to be in a two bedroom
Speaker 3: and splitting rent with somebody. So then I had to
Speaker 3: change everything and really find a one bedroom. So the
Speaker 3: month two months I was supposed to stay there ended
Speaker 3: up turning into six months.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, So I was really struggling.
Speaker 3: So when we would come home and make the hotel
Speaker 3: be like, yes, I know, I know for a fact,
Speaker 3: I'm finna eat.
Speaker 4: For three days. I don't know what's gonna happen on
Speaker 4: that fourth.
Speaker 2: Day, but I know I'm good, but I know for
Speaker 2: the next three days.
Speaker 1: So you're out there out here, and what are you
Speaker 1: doing for work to make money? Oh?
Speaker 2: I was bar sending.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was still a bartender, but you're not a
Speaker 1: real bar She's just like okay, yes.
Speaker 2: And cold girls.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you asked me anything more than a Hennessy
Speaker 3: and coke that's too complicated.
Speaker 1: I'm not getting these bartending jobs because you knew that's
Speaker 1: where the money was at for you.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, for sure. And then also, you know, moving
Speaker 2: to Atlanta.
Speaker 3: Even though I had my degree, I worked in oil
Speaker 3: and gas for like two years when I first graduated
Speaker 3: from college, and it was a cool experience, but it
Speaker 3: just wasn't for me. And obviously out here in Atlanta,
Speaker 3: oil and gas isn't as big as it is in Texas.
Speaker 3: So and I knew I didn't want to work corporate
Speaker 3: and bartending money was quick, it was fast, it was easy,
Speaker 3: and yeah, I really I actually really liked.
Speaker 4: It for a little while.
Speaker 3: And so I just knew if I moved out here
Speaker 3: and I didn't have anything else that I could do,
Speaker 3: I could get a bartender job quick. Because when I
Speaker 3: moved here, I didn't have a job, Like I just
Speaker 3: was like I'm moving. I packed all my stuff, put
Speaker 3: it in the car, and I moved out here, and
Speaker 3: then I got a job maybe like two weeks.
Speaker 2: After, okay, and during this time ended up going back
Speaker 2: to barton.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so bartending for me was a little different
Speaker 3: because when I graduated from high school and I started bartending,
Speaker 3: I was like working at restaurants because during this time,
Speaker 3: it wasn't a thing to be like a fine bartender.
Speaker 3: In like two thousand and seven, two and eight, all
Speaker 3: that stuff kind of started happening, I was saying, like
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen fifteen, So when I moved out here, I
Speaker 3: started bartending as well. So it's like I had a
Speaker 3: job where it was like a cute bartender, but like
Speaker 3: we was really bartending, like making the drinking.
Speaker 4: Stuff, you know what I'm saying. So I actually had
Speaker 4: two jobs.
Speaker 3: I was working the bartending job and I was working
Speaker 3: at European Wax Center. So I was like literally, yeah,
Speaker 3: I was literally getting off of work at European Wax Center,
Speaker 3: then going to the club job, make getting off the
Speaker 3: club job at like four o'clock in the morning, going home,
Speaker 3: rest for a few hours, and then going back to
Speaker 3: European Wax Center at like nine in the morning.
Speaker 1: So, now, is this because the overhead in Atlanta was
Speaker 1: so high for you guys, or were you guys stacking
Speaker 1: for a goal at this point?
Speaker 2: We were at that point, we were.
Speaker 1: Just doing what was work.
Speaker 2: I was just trying to Yeah, we were just trying
Speaker 2: to make it work. Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 3: I didn't really have no plan at the time, and
Speaker 3: I think I was just still trying to figure out
Speaker 3: what I wanted to do with my life. So I
Speaker 3: think bartending was It's easy in the meantime in between times.
Speaker 2: Too, because I didn't even know what I wanted to do.
Speaker 3: Like I had the degree in mass communications, and I
Speaker 3: had tried my hand at like radio and even like
Speaker 3: red carpet events in Houston, and it was so funny,
Speaker 3: but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, so
Speaker 3: I was just kind of winging it. And then when
Speaker 3: she moved here, that's what we ended up getting the
Speaker 3: idea from one of her exies to like start.
Speaker 2: A YouTube channel. Yeah, so take me to that conversation.
Speaker 3: So honestly, we started our cause we were like, what
Speaker 3: are we gonna do, Like we have to create some
Speaker 3: kind of content together, because every time we were outside
Speaker 3: and I get it because everybody's like, oh, people tell
Speaker 3: me that me and my friends are funny, But it
Speaker 3: was crazy because me and Dre couldn't even sit at
Speaker 3: like a happy hour without somebody walking past us like
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I was listening to y'all conversation and y'all
Speaker 3: are It was like we could. I mean, we would
Speaker 3: be in target just having conversations and people be like,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I was listening to y'all conversation.
Speaker 4: So we started the YouTube channel. So we were just
Speaker 4: like doing it.
Speaker 3: We were cooking on there, doing hair tutorials every making.
Speaker 3: We were just trying to figure out some them. So
Speaker 3: my ex at the time was listening to us talk.
Speaker 3: He was like, y'all need to record this, like this
Speaker 3: is funny, and so we were like, okay, let's try it.
Speaker 3: So we started wind Down Wednesday and it was just
Speaker 3: us sitting down talking and at the time we weren't
Speaker 3: really getting any views on anything, but we were probably
Speaker 3: getting like twenty views on all the other videos, but
Speaker 3: wind Down Wednesday got a good o yeriod.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was like, oh, we don't died something.
Speaker 4: We we got something here, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So it's like once Windown Wednesday started getting a little
Speaker 3: tension and we were super consistent, so I will say
Speaker 3: what this is what twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: Right, This was like yeah, the end of twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3: So from twenty seventeen till today, we have not missed
Speaker 3: a week of dropping, even when it was wind down
Speaker 3: Wednesday and it changed to poor Minds, we've dropped the
Speaker 3: episode every single week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't seen what kept you guys consistent if
Speaker 1: you weren't making money in the beginning, Oh.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 3: It was times where me Alix will like definitely get
Speaker 3: into it because I would be like, I don't want
Speaker 3: to do this shit anymore because we're not making any
Speaker 3: like I need to start making money, Like why are
Speaker 3: we doing this?
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I think we just always knew
Speaker 2: that we had.
Speaker 3: Something really good and eventually people were gonna catch on,
Speaker 3: and so we just bugged it out. I think more
Speaker 3: so for me though, I really didn't feel like I
Speaker 3: had a choice. Yeah, I was like this has to
Speaker 3: be it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was like, cause I don't know what else I'm
Speaker 3: gonna do, and I'm like, I know this is what
Speaker 3: I'm good at. So I felt like, you know, at
Speaker 3: the time, like she was in a relationship with someone
Speaker 3: and he was kind of you.
Speaker 4: Know, taking care of her and doing you know, things
Speaker 4: that he had to do.
Speaker 3: But I didn't have that really, So I was like,
Speaker 3: Dre was like, look, if something don't pop off, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go be with my man.
Speaker 2: I was like, well, look, I ain't doing for me
Speaker 2: like I didn't please.
Speaker 3: And also too the thing about that too, even at
Speaker 3: that time, like it's like I was definitely in a
Speaker 3: situation where I guess you could say like I was
Speaker 3: kind of straight financially because he was taking care of me.
Speaker 2: But then I got to a point to.
Speaker 3: Where I didn't like him, yeah anymore, so that it's
Speaker 3: like I really need to make my own money now
Speaker 3: because I don't want to deal with you anymore. Like
Speaker 3: this relationship has Randy's course, And I think a lot
Speaker 3: of the time women don't talk about that part of
Speaker 3: dealing with somebody who was like, quote unquote taking care
Speaker 3: of you, because sometimes.
Speaker 2: You don't even really like that.
Speaker 3: Men you really don't want to have to deal with him,
Speaker 3: but you're dealing with him because of what he's doing.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: I think that was your motivation as well, and that
Speaker 3: was my motivation to really like get on my ship
Speaker 3: with the show.
Speaker 4: The show.
Speaker 1: So you and you guys are having a good time.
Speaker 1: Did you guys have any falling outs during Because you've
Speaker 1: been years and you show up on a Wednesday, what
Speaker 1: was seen looking like when you're beefing.
Speaker 4: We weren't.
Speaker 2: You could tell.
Speaker 3: You could tell we used to argue on the show.
Speaker 3: Their videos are still up because we weren't talking at
Speaker 3: at this point. Mind you, I don't have I'm broke.
Speaker 3: I'm literally putting ten dollars in my car just to
Speaker 3: get to her house to go record. So I'm already mad.
Speaker 3: I'm mad at the world right now.
Speaker 4: So and then me and her not.
Speaker 3: Getting along because we were just having like creative differences.
Speaker 3: You know, we're friends, and but we're not getting along
Speaker 3: right now, So we would only.
Speaker 2: See each other.
Speaker 3: It was about a five six month period where we
Speaker 3: were only talking on Wednesday, and we were only talking
Speaker 3: when we recorded.
Speaker 4: We would literally record. I would sit there and edit
Speaker 4: the video, post it, and I would leave and without
Speaker 4: saying bye. Nope, I'm not saying that.
Speaker 2: All right, see you next week?
Speaker 1: Yeah, next see Yeah, that's hilarious. So what would bring
Speaker 1: you guys back together when those times would happen.
Speaker 3: We just ended up getting to a space where we
Speaker 3: really wanted to remain friends because I feel like, you know,
Speaker 3: obviously a lot of the time people do shows together
Speaker 3: and have businesses together, and it's just businesss like you
Speaker 3: don't get along. But I think a big foundational thing
Speaker 3: in our relationship has always been how close we are
Speaker 3: and how much we love each other.
Speaker 2: So I think we just realized, like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been hard, and we've been doing what we
Speaker 3: have to do, but let's figure out how to get
Speaker 3: back in a good space with our friendship because I
Speaker 3: also think that will help the business too, And it did.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that was always important to us.
Speaker 3: I think we finally realized, Okay, poor mine at the time,
Speaker 3: wind down Wednesday is.
Speaker 2: Cool, but I care about you. The friendship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I think what helped us is we always
Speaker 3: put the friendship for because I'm like, if this stuff
Speaker 3: blows up, I need my sister. I don't have family
Speaker 3: in Atlanta, you know, right, it's just us. It's just
Speaker 3: it's really just us too. It was like, you know,
Speaker 3: if I didn't have anything or I needed something, this
Speaker 3: is my closest contact that I had.
Speaker 2: So it was just like, okay, we have to figure
Speaker 2: this out.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, you guys, but you would think that at
Speaker 1: some point you guys took some kind of breaks. When
Speaker 1: I hear you guys haven't missed anything.
Speaker 3: I'm like no, girl, even when we were like hating
Speaker 3: each other, we still show you, like I'll be there
Speaker 3: at five on my way.
Speaker 4: We still do what we had.
Speaker 1: And it's like looking and I'm outside friends, like try
Speaker 1: to kind of get between y'all when y'all was beefing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I I mean I wouldn't so much
Speaker 2: stay get between us.
Speaker 3: But you know, naturally, it's like if someone is my friend,
Speaker 3: then they're not really hurt for him, and then vice
Speaker 3: versa and we're going through it, they like, oh, you know,
Speaker 3: they have so many opinions and stuff, and they're like, well,
Speaker 3: I don't think y'all should be cool anymore. I don't
Speaker 3: like that she did that either, which is why I
Speaker 3: really feel like in a relationship and in a friendship,
Speaker 3: you gotta be careful what you tell your friends, family
Speaker 3: members if you plan on staying cool with somebody or
Speaker 3: if you plan on staying in a relationship with them
Speaker 3: because you over it, but now your friends still feel.
Speaker 1: Some type of way about it still, yeah, and then
Speaker 1: they don't want to like go out if y'all want
Speaker 1: to do it, Yeah, they be like, I ain't going
Speaker 1: with her, yeah.
Speaker 3: And I think it's like I'm thirty four now, you
Speaker 3: know when we started this journey, you know I was
Speaker 3: when I met her, I was what twenty six, Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: Twenty six.
Speaker 4: It's like so much I've grown. It's a completely different
Speaker 4: woman now.
Speaker 3: So I think on both sides, it's like she's a
Speaker 3: totally different person than she was when we first met.
Speaker 3: So I definitely agree with that there were things that
Speaker 3: should have stayed between us that we were.
Speaker 4: Kind of like being telling our friends. Yeah, you know that.
Speaker 4: It was things that we probably should have just you know,
Speaker 4: try to work out within us.
Speaker 2: But and now we know, you know, we're older.
Speaker 1: You learn, you grow, But I promise you that's the
Speaker 1: theme of Atlanta this week is everyone who who's doing
Speaker 1: business together.
Speaker 2: It's like, yo, let's go back to the core. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you have to. That's the only way I feel like
Speaker 2: it will work.
Speaker 3: I mean, well, no, let me not say that, because
Speaker 3: it's definitely people who, like I said, do business together
Speaker 3: and they don't really fool with each other.
Speaker 2: But for us, I felt like it was important for
Speaker 2: us to get back to.
Speaker 3: Our friendship because I said, because it translates on camera,
Speaker 3: like we said, if you were to watch some of
Speaker 3: those old episodes, it's so cringe.
Speaker 2: It's so cringing because it was obvious we could not
Speaker 2: stand each other. We're people in the comments.
Speaker 3: Like oh yeah, it was a lot of in the beginning,
Speaker 3: we actually lost a lot of listeners because they were like,
Speaker 3: I can't watch this. It was like they were like,
Speaker 3: this is because all y'all are doing is yelling at
Speaker 3: each other, y'all talking over each other, y'all not and
Speaker 3: it wasn't enjoyable. So it's like once we noticed, like
Speaker 3: we knew we had something special, but we were ruining
Speaker 3: it right, and it was like, okay, we got to
Speaker 3: get back to like having fun on camera, like nobody
Speaker 3: wants to tune in to drama every week like this,
Speaker 3: ain't you know?
Speaker 4: Love and hip hop? Like we're not trying to do
Speaker 4: all that.
Speaker 3: And then we saw so many people still to this day,
Speaker 3: we're seeing people start a podcast with their friend and
Speaker 3: they fall out and they hate each other.
Speaker 2: Podcast is going, friendship is going all.
Speaker 3: That so and I don't know what it is about
Speaker 3: business that like makes people's friendship always not work out always.
Speaker 1: Well, that was gonna be my next Like you guys
Speaker 1: are at almost three hundred episodes.
Speaker 2: When did money into the scene. Like I want to say,
Speaker 2: did we get our first check in like twenty nineteen?
Speaker 2: It was like an ad chicken. It was like eighty
Speaker 2: six dollars.
Speaker 1: We were so happy, Okay, yeah, but not real but
Speaker 1: not really you start twenty seventeen and it wasn't until when.
Speaker 2: Like nineteen it was like it was an eighty dollars
Speaker 2: check and we were like, okay, progress and it was
Speaker 2: it was a it was a like a monetization check.
Speaker 2: It was a chase.
Speaker 3: Like we were doing ads with some ad company that
Speaker 3: ended up firing eventually because we weren't doing ads right. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they sent us an eighty six dollars check and we
Speaker 3: were like super heavy about did you.
Speaker 2: Guys like take a picture and post it somewhere or
Speaker 2: frame it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 4: The third I have, I don't even know.
Speaker 2: We should have kept to those checks.
Speaker 1: I like try to do in my house.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: My dad had this conversation with me, and I think
Speaker 1: a lot of successful people go through this. It's like
Speaker 1: you're so in the grind that you forget all the accomplishments.
Speaker 1: When Dad started having a rule like, yo, maybe you
Speaker 1: should start hanging this stuff.
Speaker 2: Up on your right.
Speaker 1: So my home I call it like the hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I don't put it out in the living room or anything,
Speaker 1: but if you go through the hallways, like if you
Speaker 1: go upstairs in my house, you'll see like a lot
Speaker 1: of different things that I did over time. And that
Speaker 1: was something my dad was just like, cause you're you're
Speaker 1: losing it. And Nick used always tell me that. He'd
Speaker 1: always be like, yo, take two seconds to take it in.
Speaker 4: It on email somewhere somewhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I saw you guys studio. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1: It would be nice to see that in that beautiful studio,
Speaker 1: like that first that first little check.
Speaker 3: I think it's somewhere in our email, but yeah, that
Speaker 3: was the first time we got paid. And so at
Speaker 3: that point it was like, Okay, this is possible, Like
Speaker 3: we can figure something out.
Speaker 1: So did you just like to check it?
Speaker 4: I even go to lunch with it. I don't even
Speaker 4: remember what we did.
Speaker 2: I don't even know what we did with it, because
Speaker 2: I know we didn't do much.
Speaker 3: Because we didn't have a bank account for poor mind
Speaker 3: at that time either, So I really don't remember what
Speaker 3: we did with it. So mind you at this time too,
Speaker 3: we're building our YouTube page as well. So YouTube had
Speaker 3: actually changed the rules to how on how to get monetized,
Speaker 3: So you had to have a certain amount of watch
Speaker 3: hours and a certain amount of subscribers. You have to
Speaker 3: have a thousand subscribers before you could get a check, yeah,
Speaker 3: and like something crazy number of watch time hours. So
Speaker 3: when we only met that threshold, we were like, okay,
Speaker 3: so now we've got to start your YouTube checks. But
Speaker 3: our YouTube checks were like you had to reach one
Speaker 3: hundred dollars before they even pay you out, so then
Speaker 3: you would have to wait months sometimes before we could
Speaker 3: get the YouTube yeah, because it was like we were
Speaker 3: making like six dollars a month on our views. So
Speaker 3: it's like it wasn't really anything.
Speaker 1: But and you guys still kept grinding instant and what
Speaker 1: is your family and your friends thing at this time?
Speaker 2: Nothing.
Speaker 3: My mom was just like, girl, I don't understand why
Speaker 3: you don't go get a job because you have a degree.
Speaker 1: But you guys were working during the during the did
Speaker 1: I miss that?
Speaker 2: Did you? Were you guys not working?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I will work.
Speaker 3: It was but for like a year and a half,
Speaker 3: I wasn't well, yeah, the man yeah. I was still
Speaker 3: working at European wax Center. My mom was just like
Speaker 3: my mom used to get on line for me and
Speaker 3: be applying jobs for me.
Speaker 4: Oh, you need to go here, you need to go.
Speaker 2: Here, honey. She was like, what are you doing. I
Speaker 2: wonder why y'all took the Pride for route. She was
Speaker 2: over here filling out a wor.
Speaker 3: She was like, Hey, there's this place that's interviewing. But
Speaker 3: it was crazy because we had a little bit of
Speaker 3: money coming in, but it wasn't enough. And I had
Speaker 3: a conversation with Dre and I was like, Hey, I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna lie to you. If something kind of doesn't
Speaker 3: really happen in like the next six months to a year,
Speaker 3: I'm going to go back to school.
Speaker 2: She did so.
Speaker 3: I said I was going to go back to school
Speaker 3: for dental hygien I was gonna be a dental hygienis.
Speaker 3: I was like, I looked up the program. I was
Speaker 3: like talking to my mom about it. I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: I knew what program I was going to apply to.
Speaker 3: So I was like at the top of the year,
Speaker 3: towards like summertime, if nothing happens, like I'm just.
Speaker 2: Gonna have to go back to school, and that's how
Speaker 2: many years? Then like three, that's about three.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were about three years in because I'm like, what, yeah.
Speaker 1: She'd be like three months left.
Speaker 3: She was. She was like okay, girl, Okay, now what's
Speaker 3: going on with y'all? And then it's like the content
Speaker 3: that we were talking about too was a lot for
Speaker 3: my mom. Like my mom was cool like me and
Speaker 3: my mom always had a great relationship, but she was
Speaker 3: just like you did, yeah, like this is stuff is
Speaker 3: going to be on the internet forever, and I'm just like, Okay,
Speaker 3: it has it has a purpose, you know, like we
Speaker 3: just have to keep pushing.
Speaker 2: So but they definitely didn't see the vision.
Speaker 4: Nobody did.
Speaker 3: And then especially with me, like I have, I have
Speaker 3: always been a person who like hops from one thing
Speaker 3: to another thing, Like I've always had an issue like
Speaker 3: staying consistent, cause I get bored easily.
Speaker 1: Now that your parents were starting to meddle a little
Speaker 1: bit more, did you ever hit the six month milestone?
Speaker 3: So what happened during that six month mark was we
Speaker 3: had met DJ scream out here. He's a very influential
Speaker 3: person like in the media space, and we had met
Speaker 3: him through a guy that we know named Kodak.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Kodak.
Speaker 4: Kodak was somebody that we had worked.
Speaker 3: With closely in media, like he would kind of get
Speaker 3: us little bookings and every now and then just for
Speaker 3: exposure and things like that. He's in the podcasting world
Speaker 3: as well, and so he had introduced us to Screaming.
Speaker 3: Scream was like, Hey, I got this radio show I
Speaker 3: want you all to do. So y'all come up to
Speaker 3: the radio station like every whin Wednesday and come do
Speaker 3: the radio show with me.
Speaker 2: So it's like an hour long Oh nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it wasn't like it wasn't like a paid thing,
Speaker 3: but it was more so the exposure. So I think
Speaker 3: once we did that, everybody was like hold on, like okay,
Speaker 3: like y'all doing something. And so at this point it
Speaker 3: was still called wind down Wednesday. So when we were
Speaker 3: introduced to Scream, he was like, you know what if
Speaker 3: you do hashtag wind down Wednesday, a million things pop up.
Speaker 3: He was like, y'all have something special. Y'all need to
Speaker 3: change the name, Like y'all need to make it where
Speaker 3: it's hashtag whatever. Y'all areymous, it's gonna Drea and Lex
Speaker 3: are gonna pop, right, So I think this was a
Speaker 3: synonymous what do you mean like, because.
Speaker 2: Like, you know, like people are going to associate that
Speaker 2: name with us.
Speaker 3: So we had to change wind down Wednesday because if
Speaker 3: you hashtag wind down Wednesday, everything so many different things.
Speaker 3: But so I think when we met Scream, that was
Speaker 3: the first time we were like, Okay, we need to
Speaker 3: come up like with a business plan and you know,
Speaker 3: we need to see and mind you.
Speaker 4: At this time, we have a lot of friends who
Speaker 4: were podcasters. They're going on tour and they're making money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with the Black Fact I see all of that.
Speaker 2: I'll be like, yo, you teach me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So.
Speaker 2: That's what it was.
Speaker 3: At this time, we were We're going to all these
Speaker 3: people's live shows. We're just on outside. We're trying to
Speaker 3: make ourselves be seen. So I think once we started
Speaker 3: doing the radio, Scream had opened his own studio, so
Speaker 3: we's changed studios because we were recording in her living
Speaker 3: room at this point.
Speaker 2: So then we moved from her living room to an
Speaker 2: actual studio and.
Speaker 3: We kind of had a little team, I guess because
Speaker 3: at the time Iran was like our audio guy working
Speaker 3: with us. We started uploading the view the episodes on
Speaker 3: DJ Screams YouTube. So that's when the view started going
Speaker 3: up because photographer. Remember yeah, we had a photographer, We
Speaker 3: had an intern.
Speaker 4: Like it was like.
Speaker 2: It was like the beginning stages of us building our teams. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is before the six month deadline.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I was still working. I was still working,
Speaker 3: but I'm like, okay, we're we have a plan. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and we were able to get the end turn because
Speaker 3: Kodak showed us how to like, you know, give credit
Speaker 3: to the school so she could still you know, come
Speaker 3: work for us technically, but we didn't have the money
Speaker 3: to pay her, but we needed help, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So we were kind of learning like the loops of things.
Speaker 3: And at this point we're still not making money, but
Speaker 3: we have a professional setup. You know.
Speaker 4: It looks like a show.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and now it's like your manifestation is like
Speaker 1: manifesting even more. Right, So, yeah, where does poor minds
Speaker 1: take over? Right?
Speaker 3: So, once he told us to change the name, we're
Speaker 3: like sitting down because and we're like brainstorming, and we
Speaker 3: were like we drink during the show, like that's the
Speaker 3: main thing, Like we like to get turned during the show,
Speaker 3: so we're like drunk, No, drunk sounds too kind of trash.
Speaker 3: Can think of a name that we keep in mind
Speaker 3: that can be marketable so you know, people don't feel like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, this is We're not putting drunk this
Speaker 3: on our logo or whatever.
Speaker 2: So we were like poor behavior, poor the city.
Speaker 3: And we always opened the episode with saying a drunk
Speaker 3: mind speak sober thoughts. So we were like, what about
Speaker 3: poor minds because you know, we pouring it up and
Speaker 3: we're speaking what's on our mind because of the drinks.
Speaker 2: So we were like, right, I think we like it.
Speaker 3: And that was actually one of the first ones we
Speaker 3: came up with. We brainstorm for maybe ten minutes about
Speaker 3: that name. We did yeah, and it just stuck and
Speaker 3: it was like, I think this the one. Yeah, it
Speaker 3: just at first I was like and then we made
Speaker 3: the logo, so we finally had a logo. So it
Speaker 3: was just like starting to become an actual real podcast.
Speaker 1: So it was screaming like more of a mentor slat
Speaker 1: or was it like a business Was he like a
Speaker 1: business partner?
Speaker 3: I would say yeah, he was more like a mentor
Speaker 3: because we weren't really business partners like we didn't really
Speaker 3: get into like business partnership until we started working with
Speaker 3: eighty five Yeah, okay in twenty nineteen, about a year
Speaker 3: after that. We have been doing the radio for a
Speaker 3: year and that's when oh yeah, we had we So
Speaker 3: we were doing a radio for like a year and
Speaker 3: then we ended up Carlos ended up reaching out to
Speaker 3: us and was saying that he would like come on
Speaker 3: poor minds.
Speaker 2: So he pulled so he pulled up.
Speaker 3: To my house and he recorded with me at the house.
Speaker 3: And then that's kind of what built the relationship that
Speaker 3: we had with them. And then like you know, after
Speaker 3: a year or so, I guess he was like kind
Speaker 3: of watching what we were doing and he was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I want y'all to come up to the studio and
Speaker 3: come on eighty five South.
Speaker 2: And so we came up here, we did that.
Speaker 3: Episode with them, and maybe like three or four months after,
Speaker 3: Chad and all of them wanted to sign us.
Speaker 4: It was like literally like.
Speaker 3: Because yeah, because literally when you know, we were still
Speaker 3: recording at our house when Carlos came on.
Speaker 1: So that year after because it was before the jails,
Speaker 1: it was before.
Speaker 3: The Carlos had recorded with us. But then you know,
Speaker 3: people started being like, okay, who are these girls? And
Speaker 3: then you know, we met Scream. Then we get into
Speaker 3: the studio, we're doing radio and Carlos is like on
Speaker 3: the side kind of like watching us, like dang, I
Speaker 3: see they still doing their things. So he was like, okay, y'all,
Speaker 3: come on eighty five. We went on eighty five. The
Speaker 3: episode goes crazy, like it end up getting like a
Speaker 3: million views a week. Wow, So everybody's like, who are
Speaker 3: these girls? Like it came out of nowhere. So we
Speaker 3: ended up having a meeting with Chad and Ryan about
Speaker 3: three months later, and that's when like the work started.
Speaker 3: So we ended up moving into the studio with eighty
Speaker 3: five at their old studio at the time, and this
Speaker 3: is when the numbers started going up because the production
Speaker 3: value just went through the roof, Like you know, they
Speaker 3: had a team already.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you just pauls for a second shout
Speaker 1: out to eighty five South because I literally I've been
Speaker 1: telling everybody I can't even stop thinking about them.
Speaker 2: It's so hard to even go to sleep.
Speaker 1: We came here like a year and a half ago
Speaker 1: during Black Effect Festival, and we taped a couple of
Speaker 1: episodes but come back here.
Speaker 2: They built this whole set and did all this work,
Speaker 2: and you're.
Speaker 1: Just like, it's kind of speechless. It's nice, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: It's an amazing experience. I like, I don't know the
Speaker 1: words describe the level of happiness and appreciation at the
Speaker 1: same time. But you like, to me, this is like love,
Speaker 1: but my love lagage is also certain. Yeah, but like
Speaker 1: this is a lot of service right and beyond. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, it's really I can't. Yeah, you guys respond,
Speaker 1: she was.
Speaker 2: I was, yeah.
Speaker 4: That one, No, this was fine. I was drinking out
Speaker 4: of this one.
Speaker 2: But don't matter. We'll be drinking after.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it don't matter.
Speaker 3: But so yeah, I think like when we signed to
Speaker 3: eighty five, everything happened, and it happened quickly.
Speaker 2: But a lot of times people.
Speaker 3: Were introduced to us as eighty five being signed to
Speaker 3: eighty five, but they didn't realize at that point, we
Speaker 3: have been putting in four years of work, you know,
Speaker 3: to get to the point to where we could sit
Speaker 3: on the car couch with Carlos. So when we met
Speaker 3: when we signed with eighty five, I was I quit
Speaker 3: my job.
Speaker 1: A year later.
Speaker 2: That Yeah, it was nice. I was so happy because
Speaker 2: I was trying to convince her for years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were all her job. I cried, I didn't
Speaker 4: want to quit my job actually made me quit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love those stories. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So for me, it was like I was struggling so long,
Speaker 4: eating a lot, like I said, eat a lot of
Speaker 4: roads here. When I had moved to Atlanta.
Speaker 3: That was probably the brokest I have ever been in
Speaker 3: my entire life. So from twenty seventeen to twenty twenty one,
Speaker 3: it was a literal struggle for me. I would literally
Speaker 3: have to put two paychecks together just to pay my rent.
Speaker 4: Like That's how it was for me.
Speaker 3: So whenever I was able to quit my job, I
Speaker 3: was at my job and I'm like, at this point,
Speaker 3: I'm only working two days a week because I'm so
Speaker 3: busy with eighty five stuff, poor mine stuff.
Speaker 2: Are you going on the road too with them or
Speaker 2: are you just doing the taping? No, So at that time,
Speaker 2: we had only just did the podcast like with them,
Speaker 2: and then I think a few months later we got
Speaker 2: signed and then we just started recording at the studio.
Speaker 2: We hadn't even started touring.
Speaker 3: Or yeah, when I started touring it, but like we
Speaker 3: were getting opportunities to go on other people's shows, or
Speaker 3: we would have an opportunity where someone was in town
Speaker 3: and we needed to record with them, so I would
Speaker 3: have every off work, right, So it was like sometimes
Speaker 3: I would have to call in the work because like,
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, I'm not going to
Speaker 3: work and I'm missing out on opportunity these right. So
Speaker 3: I got my schedule down to two days a week,
Speaker 3: and then my boss pulls me to the side and
Speaker 3: she's like, she's loving this for me, but the people
Speaker 3: above her, they were not liking.
Speaker 2: To this day. Side note, I used to be at.
Speaker 3: Work uploading Poor Minds episodes at the time because before
Speaker 3: we started working with eighty five. I still think to
Speaker 3: this day, I had left the logging on because you
Speaker 3: remember we were loading stuff.
Speaker 2: You are you are?
Speaker 3: You still got deleting. I think somebody either I worked
Speaker 3: with or somebody above me. I mean they deleted our
Speaker 3: whole and we had to start over.
Speaker 2: So it was like, luckily, it was like.
Speaker 1: How are you not?
Speaker 2: Like did you guys cry during that whole thing? We
Speaker 2: were really upset by you.
Speaker 3: But it was like in the beginning stages of our YouTube,
Speaker 3: so we didn't have like a lot of content uploading it.
Speaker 4: But I still think to this.
Speaker 3: Day, somebody I was working with was like hating and
Speaker 3: being because they used to tell me all the time,
Speaker 3: you can't do this at work. But I'm like, look,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to hustle. I don't have a computer. I
Speaker 3: gotta upload this content.
Speaker 2: Oh you didn't even have a computer.
Speaker 1: Computer.
Speaker 4: I did not have a computer. So I would go
Speaker 4: to work.
Speaker 3: I'd be like, dre, I'm about to get I'm about
Speaker 3: to upload it. Give me to give me a few seconds.
Speaker 3: So I'd be like, at work, I'm deleting things. I'm
Speaker 3: trying to clear out the.
Speaker 2: Cookies and all that stuff.
Speaker 4: So yeah, so I was at work. Yeah, so I'm
Speaker 4: clearing out everything.
Speaker 3: I'm deleting the history everything, Like I'm just clearing the
Speaker 3: computer out everything I do because I'm like, I need
Speaker 3: this job, but I have to upload it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And she was in on it too. Yeah, you
Speaker 2: know what. I was like, girl, get it going on.
Speaker 3: And I was here for it because at the time too,
Speaker 3: I just had my own struggles and stuff going on
Speaker 3: because my dad had got sick and my dad actually
Speaker 3: ended up passing away like a few weeks before we
Speaker 3: found out that we had to go on eighty five South,
Speaker 3: so I just had to get it together and then
Speaker 3: we went on there and in a few months later
Speaker 3: we ended up, you know, like I said, getting signed.
Speaker 2: But life was just kind of hard. It was like, finally,
Speaker 2: all of this hard work we've been putting it in
Speaker 2: this paying off.
Speaker 3: So like, yeah, I when I, like I said, when
Speaker 3: I was at work, my boss pulled me to the side.
Speaker 3: She was like, hey, look, basically, the regional managers are like,
Speaker 3: you working two days a week is not enough because
Speaker 3: you signed up to be full time and you cannot
Speaker 3: be part time, So you're gonna have to be here
Speaker 3: five days a week or we're gonna have to let
Speaker 3: you go. And I was like, I was like, well,
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna have to leave, Like I just do
Speaker 3: not have the time. And I cried on the way
Speaker 3: home because I was like, I don't have a job anymore.
Speaker 3: And I was like, I really hope this takes work.
Speaker 3: I was like, but at this time we're making money though,
Speaker 3: Like we're not making.
Speaker 2: Money, like we are enough to like survive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I can pay my rent.
Speaker 3: I had already paid my car off, so it's like
Speaker 3: I can pay my insurance, I can pay my bills,
Speaker 3: so I was good.
Speaker 4: I just like that Sey, Yeah, of course yes.
Speaker 2: And it's hard to give up that security.
Speaker 4: It was it was for me so but it worked out.
Speaker 4: That was in twenty twenty one, so it's like we
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four hours and we up like the
Speaker 4: Rotael though I still love.
Speaker 2: What is some of the like have you been out
Speaker 2: now that you're up?
Speaker 1: Like to be on you got the bill and been
Speaker 1: like I got this, but what was that? What was
Speaker 1: that high?
Speaker 2: The expensive dish that you ate?
Speaker 3: I'm just curious an expensive dish that I think that
Speaker 3: where you were like, okay, because.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie, we go out, we have but
Speaker 4: are you paying for it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay to have like I just like I got it,
Speaker 2: or she'll be like I got it.
Speaker 4: Okay, because you know, I guess it's great.
Speaker 2: Well, you guys have the do you do the company card?
Speaker 2: Be like company.
Speaker 1: Receipts something I have learned so when I first got
Speaker 1: into business, I would say the receipts. Now that I
Speaker 1: don't know if before I just never knew this, but
Speaker 1: credit cards at the end of the year they break
Speaker 1: everything down so freaking well, I'll keep my P and L.
Speaker 1: But then for backup, especially because me and my account
Speaker 1: we have discussions.
Speaker 2: Be or we press some men.
Speaker 1: We gotta agree on how much I'm paying. Yeah, if
Speaker 1: we don't agree, we got to reevaluate back.
Speaker 2: You're like, we're like, let me go.
Speaker 1: And like, even we just had this discussion, he called me.
Speaker 1: I was like on the phone, my friend. I said, shit,
Speaker 1: he calling me. It's never good. So I was like,
Speaker 1: what's going on? He was like, so we got to
Speaker 1: try and avoid this tax. So I'm trying to see
Speaker 1: how to get you over here. I'm like, wait what
Speaker 1: So anyways, so then I said to him, I say,
Speaker 1: you know what.
Speaker 2: It's all good.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure if I go back to my
Speaker 1: credit card receipts, I'll find something that I thought that
Speaker 1: I just completely forgot about. And I love that about
Speaker 1: the credit card receipts because they just fucking itemized everybody
Speaker 1: better than the bank cards. Yeah that's my goal to now,
Speaker 1: by the way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think with us, it's like it's just
Speaker 3: it's a good feeling, like it is. I never really
Speaker 3: celebrate my birthday. I've never been like a big birthday girl.
Speaker 3: So like last year was like the first time, like
Speaker 3: I really celebrated my birthday with my friends and I
Speaker 3: like rented out a house in Miami for all of us,
Speaker 3: and it was just kind of like a moment I'm like, damn,
Speaker 3: like this is what I'm doing for my birthday. On
Speaker 3: my thirtieth birthday, I got fired from another job that
Speaker 3: I had, Yeah, and I walked to Drea's house and
Speaker 3: I was like, I remember she poured me a shot
Speaker 3: of hend and see it and I'm like, bro, what
Speaker 3: are we going to do?
Speaker 2: I need a freaking job.
Speaker 3: Only for me four years later to be like buying
Speaker 3: a nice house on the water, not buying, but renting
Speaker 3: a nice house on the water for my friends.
Speaker 2: And like, you know, yeah, it was like a journey.
Speaker 4: It's been.
Speaker 2: But I left that we you know, stuck it out.
Speaker 4: I'm still cheap though, I'm very much still.
Speaker 1: Cheap, though cheap or because there's like I was telling
Speaker 1: someone I was talking to, I was like, there's two
Speaker 1: birds was cheap there. Because one of my brothers, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just say one of my older brother he liked
Speaker 1: the type of like when you go on a day
Speaker 1: with him like I promised you I went. We was
Speaker 1: in our twenties. We met up at like McDonald's and
Speaker 1: he tried to split a value me and with this girl.
Speaker 1: I'm like, bros, see yeah, I'm just order whatever whatever
Speaker 1: you want. Let's just not do Or he'll go to
Speaker 1: the registered and be like the Texas Ero point six piper.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, why are you doing this right now?
Speaker 1: And he'll quiz the person on what the tax rate?
Speaker 2: One? Okay, now is there? Or are you like more
Speaker 2: frugal still a little?
Speaker 3: I think I'm still frugal, especially when it comes to
Speaker 3: our business, Like when we're on tour, I'm the one that's.
Speaker 2: Like, what what is this on the car? What is
Speaker 2: this on?
Speaker 3: Oh? This is But I'm comparing hotel, I'm like, I
Speaker 3: don't care cause she looks she's more bougie to me.
Speaker 2: She's like, I'm not staying in this hotel.
Speaker 3: And I'll be like, okay, so we're gonna stay in
Speaker 3: this hotel, but let me look at these flights and
Speaker 3: see where I can move some money right to make
Speaker 3: it work.
Speaker 4: So I'm definitely the one that's kind of more.
Speaker 2: Like I'm just cheap.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, I'm not really that cheap. I don't
Speaker 3: one of those people. I'm one of those people. I
Speaker 3: don't mind paying anything for a convenience. Yeah, Like, and
Speaker 3: I don't mind delegating task to other people. Lex is
Speaker 3: also one of those people too, where it's like, even
Speaker 3: in the beginning stages of the show, she used to
Speaker 3: like wants to start over. Whenever we will be recording,
Speaker 3: She'll be like, no, we got to start over. And
Speaker 3: I'll be like, why do we got to start over?
Speaker 3: And she'd be like, it's not that good, and I'd
Speaker 3: be like, so we have to start over. And wee
Speaker 3: had like two glasses of wine body and we a
Speaker 3: little tsy, but we used to start over. But I
Speaker 3: feel like now that we're so deep into the business,
Speaker 3: I realize the value of that because I think that's
Speaker 3: why we're so good at what we do and we
Speaker 3: can like do our show without ever having to edit it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because we just know how to talk and we have
Speaker 3: like the chemistry and everything just slow.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and it complements the business to have that,
Speaker 1: to have that balance, because if both of y'all we'll spenders,
Speaker 1: I don't know, a couple of years now, it may be.
Speaker 2: A problem, but you don't appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Oh but see the thing about me, I'm not a
Speaker 3: cheap person, but I'm very good at like managing my money, Okay.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, and I think out of me and her,
Speaker 3: I'm the one who kind of keep up with the
Speaker 3: money more like with how much money we making, where
Speaker 3: the chicks at when we're getting this check and we're
Speaker 3: getting that.
Speaker 2: Check, making sure that the taxis is like put away
Speaker 2: and stuff. So I'm really good at money management. But
Speaker 2: I just like to like, you know, like I said,
Speaker 2: it paid for it convenience.
Speaker 5: I like that.
Speaker 2: That's what I.
Speaker 1: Struggle between frugal and like inconvenienced people I get. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you get what you pay for. Every time I go
Speaker 1: to cheap route, Jesus is trying to teach me a lesson.
Speaker 1: Every time I'll be like, yo, I know I can do,
Speaker 1: and I go to cheap route. I'm like, yo, you
Speaker 1: just lost a bunch of money. At Least you learn
Speaker 1: that when you spend it now and you be like
Speaker 1: it was worth it.
Speaker 2: Sometimes sometimes you got to take that.
Speaker 3: I think it shows in our content as well too,
Speaker 3: because we were blessed enough to be able to.
Speaker 4: You know, we have a whole staff now you know
Speaker 4: that's specifically for us.
Speaker 3: You know, we have a bartender, we have videographers we pay,
Speaker 3: you know, sound engineers that we pay.
Speaker 4: We have a social media manager.
Speaker 3: But it shows in our content and what we're pushing
Speaker 3: out because it couldn't.
Speaker 4: Be just me Andre doing everything. No, not at that point.
Speaker 3: So I was like, you know what, I'm going to
Speaker 3: give off this part of my money because I need
Speaker 3: these people, like I can't.
Speaker 4: I don't know how to do this. I don't know
Speaker 4: how to work these cameras. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: How to do that.
Speaker 3: So it was very important for us to make sure,
Speaker 3: you know that we had people around us to make
Speaker 3: sure we elevate to that next level as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, get that in the budget.
Speaker 1: And the cool thing about your story is at some
Speaker 1: point you knew the base level. Like I don't think
Speaker 1: you should know everything, especially at this stage, but I
Speaker 1: think at least knowing the base level of upload a
Speaker 1: semi headed, a semi you know whatever is needed, especially
Speaker 1: when running a team.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think because we you know, like I said,
Speaker 3: we both have our background and mass communications and our
Speaker 3: minor and broadcast journalism, so all that editing and stuff.
Speaker 3: I knew how to do that. I didn't like doing it,
Speaker 3: but I knew what I wanted the show to look like.
Speaker 3: So whenever we see things on the show, it's very easy.
Speaker 3: Oh add this in here at that because we do
Speaker 3: have that background.
Speaker 2: I thought it was gonna be too much meat, but
Speaker 2: it's actually I'm dying to eat girls, I know. Come on,
Speaker 2: can we try this? Rotel dip? Rotel dip? I'm excited.
Speaker 1: We got guax sode cream sauce. Do you just put
Speaker 1: the chips on our plates?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can do it either way if you're a
Speaker 3: person who like likes the dip on top or you like.
Speaker 2: So are you like not a messy not your person.
Speaker 2: I'm a messy not I'm trying to You're gonna do
Speaker 2: your plate still.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna make yours first, though, you gotta try
Speaker 3: it first.
Speaker 1: It looks so good.
Speaker 4: It's a perfect consistency.
Speaker 2: Goog Okay, I got this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and oh, I don't know if we added that
Speaker 3: in there. She added a little milk to the cheese
Speaker 3: to kind of yeah, just it out because it was
Speaker 3: a little thick, and then that I think with the
Speaker 3: pepperjact cheese soup, pepperject cheese isn't quick.
Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, we got to add all these others.
Speaker 2: That's at a word.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I opened all of them girls, he.
Speaker 2: Said, and I heard about this. I said, yeah, let's
Speaker 2: get it, okay.
Speaker 4: Mini plate. You know, we gotta go to the him
Speaker 4: in the morning and miss the raige. You're gonna be honest.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, I haven't been to the gym
Speaker 1: since I've been here, really praying that it all bounces
Speaker 1: back afterwards.
Speaker 4: You'll be fine.
Speaker 1: All I've been eating is broke dishes. Anyway, It's been
Speaker 1: your favorite meal so far. I honestly think shout out
Speaker 1: to Tim Shantaran Sou. He had this Thai ramen.
Speaker 2: Okay. I tried to make it a couple of times
Speaker 2: at home.
Speaker 1: There's that I've made at home, like where I've like
Speaker 1: literally went home and I was like, I gotta, I gotta. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So there's a couple of Ramans that were I actually
Speaker 1: think I could rate the Romans at this point.
Speaker 2: But at there's a lot of ROMs.
Speaker 1: Even though I try to ban it from the show
Speaker 1: every once in a while it's like okay, yeah, because
Speaker 1: but I feel like that's what everybody does run to,
Speaker 1: you know, Like, but I'm like, if you're gonna do ramen,
Speaker 1: what's your what's your Twitter? Right? And then the worst
Speaker 1: dish by far is always going to be the pickled
Speaker 1: egg for me because it was the only dish I
Speaker 1: couldn't complete. Oh my pickled eggs, pickled egg and I
Speaker 1: was like doing that.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We had this young girl.
Speaker 1: She was like, she had her dish and she was like, na,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna switch it out. I got a
Speaker 1: jar pickled eggs in the car and I was like,
Speaker 1: what's that And I was like, sure, girl, we never
Speaker 1: had that. She brought it out and I was like,
Speaker 1: I looked at her. I could for sure eat this.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm for sure could eat it. I took
Speaker 1: a bite. I was like, damn, this is this is
Speaker 1: this is hard, you know, and then I tried another
Speaker 1: bite and by the end of me, I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it real. This is the dish I
Speaker 1: can't finish.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was just one egg.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't like stuff like that. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 2: really a fan of anything pickled with pickles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I don't mind pickled things either, but it
Speaker 1: was the texture of the egg was like a rubber. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she destroyed you know how you have that one bad
Speaker 1: experience like and then it destroys that ingredient for you.
Speaker 1: So yeah, now the hard boiled egg to me is
Speaker 1: very hard for me. And I used to love Harble eggs,
Speaker 1: but I just can't.
Speaker 2: She destroyed it for me. Okay, cheers, cheers this this
Speaker 2: looks amazing.
Speaker 4: Here we go, all right, I'm ready to see her review.
Speaker 1: And I used to be nice about it season one,
Speaker 1: and now I talk stuff. I feel bad because then
Speaker 1: I'll be like, I sound.
Speaker 2: Like I like you. I don't know what.
Speaker 1: I love it?
Speaker 2: Hope I will say, though, I need some su you
Speaker 2: like spicy? It's so cheesy mm hmm that either you're
Speaker 2: gonna drink a lot of water or you have to
Speaker 2: add that extra sauce to it, right, Yeah, you want
Speaker 2: to pass me some of that because the cheesy is
Speaker 2: so cheesy.
Speaker 4: It is I told you it ain't real cheese.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you though, I've had some good nachos
Speaker 2: on the show. Thank you.
Speaker 1: This by far is up there. Have you heard of
Speaker 1: alarm steal from Gangster Chronicles.
Speaker 2: That's really good. Uh, nachos, But this this one is
Speaker 2: gonna go to the number one. Okay, number one. You
Speaker 2: know I don't took your spot, took the spy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is definitely like, it's cheap, it's easy, it's quick,
Speaker 3: it's quick. And like I said, if you make a
Speaker 3: like if this was one person having this, this will
Speaker 3: definitely last you.
Speaker 4: For sure. So all the college kids out there watching
Speaker 4: the cream.
Speaker 1: Cheese, I'm just scurious, why did you add the pem cheese,
Speaker 1: because I don't know if you could really taste it?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 3: I think for me when I added it's it makes
Speaker 3: it consistency a little different. Yeah, so it's more of
Speaker 3: a consistency thing for me. Yeah, for me, it's a
Speaker 3: consistency thing. And then honestly, normally, the way I typically
Speaker 3: do this dip is I put it in like a
Speaker 3: cast iron skillet and then I just put everything in there,
Speaker 3: like I cut up all the cheese and stuff, the
Speaker 3: different cheeses, I'll cut up the onions, the jalapeno, put
Speaker 3: the cans of brotail and stuff in there, and then
Speaker 3: I'll just put it in the oven and let it
Speaker 3: back and then I mix it all to there after
Speaker 3: It's like, Melty, this.
Speaker 2: Dip is amazing. It's fantastic. Thank you.
Speaker 1: You guys are absolutely amazing. Easy to fall in love,
Speaker 1: but I, oh, thank you.
Speaker 2: Is there any advice?
Speaker 1: Even though I just listening to you guys, I feel
Speaker 1: like there's so many golden nuggets, But is there any
Speaker 1: piece of advice you would give so another podcaster that's
Speaker 1: doing the whole partnership podcasts, I.
Speaker 3: Would just say that if it's something that you're really
Speaker 3: passionate about, because I think that that's the number one
Speaker 3: thing to me, like you have to do what you love.
Speaker 3: I think that's why a lot of the time when
Speaker 3: people start podcasts or start doing shows with people, they're
Speaker 3: doing it because they're trying to get money quickly, or
Speaker 3: they're doing it because they see other people's success story,
Speaker 3: but it's not something that they really enjoy. I think
Speaker 3: one of the reasons, one of the main reasons that
Speaker 3: our show has become so successful is because we really
Speaker 3: enjoy recording with each other, and we really are friends
Speaker 3: in real life, and so I just think it's important
Speaker 3: to really enjoy what you do, and then it doesn't
Speaker 3: feel like work, and then when the money start come,
Speaker 3: then that's a buzz. And you know, I always hate
Speaker 3: to say this because I feel like it's so cliche,
Speaker 3: but you really have to stay consistent.
Speaker 2: Like even with the.
Speaker 3: Times that we weren't getting along and we didn't want
Speaker 3: to deal with each other, we still showed up every week,
Speaker 3: We still recorded. We never missed the week, And I
Speaker 3: think that that has added to the success too, Like
Speaker 3: you can't just show up when you want to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: And I think for me just to kind of piggyback
Speaker 3: off what she said as far as like a money grab,
Speaker 3: I think if you're doing it for a quick check
Speaker 3: or for a money grab, it's not gonna come for
Speaker 3: a very long time.
Speaker 1: And I want to knowledge the fact that you guys
Speaker 1: are almost at three hundred episodes, because I know we
Speaker 1: was walking in the homes like I'm almost at one hundred.
Speaker 1: You were like oh girl, yeah, And I was like
Speaker 1: then I was like how many of you?
Speaker 2: As you was like three? We were like wait wait
Speaker 2: wait what you said it like you were like cheering
Speaker 2: me on, but I was like wait, wait wait, okay, shit,
Speaker 2: but but that's awesome. One hundred. That's a lot, and
Speaker 2: I just to finish.
Speaker 3: What I was saying is like the money grab is
Speaker 3: like okay, So if you get in it and you
Speaker 3: do start making money, that still cannot be your motivation.
Speaker 3: And I think for us, the money we know it's
Speaker 3: gonna come, and we know it's gonna be there.
Speaker 4: When people break up.
Speaker 3: And having hard times with their co hosts, of the
Speaker 3: time it's about money or ego and a little bit
Speaker 3: of combination of both. So I feel like, with money
Speaker 3: we know is gonna come, I'm not about to argue
Speaker 3: with her over no money.
Speaker 2: Right it's happening.
Speaker 1: I love that I have.
Speaker 3: If I do something wrong, I'm gonna apologize because I
Speaker 3: don't have an ego. When it comes to this, I
Speaker 3: will literally get paid last if I have to, if
Speaker 3: I got to make sure everybody else is paid.
Speaker 2: I like that, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So I think take ego out of it and stop
Speaker 3: worrying about a check all the time, because sometimes you're
Speaker 3: gonna have to do things that you don't.
Speaker 4: Get paid for it.
Speaker 2: In equality, how do I forget that? Focused on the equality?
Speaker 3: A lot of the time people don't get to where
Speaker 3: they want to go because you're just putting out anything.
Speaker 3: I can honestly say, that's what I was telling you earlier.
Speaker 3: It used to frustrate me in the beginning stages of
Speaker 3: us doing the show, where she would like in the
Speaker 3: middle of episocial, like we need to start over because.
Speaker 2: This wasn't good.
Speaker 3: But I'm glad that we did because we not. We
Speaker 3: didn't never put out just anything. We were always making
Speaker 3: sure it was good quality.
Speaker 1: Cunts like you guys weren't just punching the clock at
Speaker 1: your angry You guys weren't doing that right.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: I love that your commitment to the overall goal really
Speaker 1: pushed y'all through, because you're in like a six month
Speaker 1: battle and I know I talked to horrible decisions separately.
Speaker 2: They've gone through their bouts and I respect their housets.
Speaker 1: But it's interesting that whenever I meet women that are
Speaker 1: working together, how strong that actual commitment bonds to the
Speaker 1: relationship is really what carries them through.
Speaker 2: For sure. Yeah, I love that for y'all. Thank you
Speaker 2: for giving me the time out of your business.
Speaker 1: And beating me and hopefully the whole crew, because I
