00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: And we're back. We're busy, busy, busy back. I think

2
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: I should like really get into rap. I heard that

3
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: I've got quite the flow, and yeah.

00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: You did the used to spoken word?

00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: Was that even? Does that even count? I was like, nineteen, Yeah,

6
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: I took myself so seriously. If you just could read

7
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: my poems from when I was nineteen, oh my god,

8
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: I just clearly I carried the whole of the entire

9
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: universe all my shoulders. I was a very serious young woman.

10
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: We need to exchange our embarrassing poetry. Poetry.

11
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: You wrote poetry too.

12
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean I never performed mine, but I

13
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: wrote it.

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes, I would love we should do like

15
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: a segment where we read pieces of our poet for

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: the artist.

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: I don't think they want to hear that.

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: Nah ah, you could hear my post teenage angst.

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: Well, are you creeped out? Because we are recording on

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: not only a Friday, which is weird for us, but

21
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: also it's Friday the thirteenth?

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: No, only because the reason is so awesome. Like I

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,199
Speaker 1: was talking about BFF yesterday and she was like, oh god,

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: you in this attitude. I guess that must have been

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: you ever see the Snickers commercial when they're like, you're acting.

26
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: Like Dva, you need a Snickers? Oh yeah, sure yeah.

27
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: So I guess I was giving that energy and she

28
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: was like, what's wrong with you? I was like, I

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: don't know, you ever feel like it's like nothing's wrong,

30
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: like you know, everything's good business wise, relationship wise. I

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: just was feeling like funky. And she was like, because

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: you don't ever do anything to like replenish yourself, Tiffany.

33
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: You are always like go go, go, go go, but

34
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: you never like fell back up. And I'm like, well,

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: I don't like the spot doesn't do it for me, nails, hair,

36
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: that doesn't do it for me. Really only travel. She's like, well,

37
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: book a damn trip. So while I was on with her,

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: I was on Groupon and I was like, wait a minute,

39
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: and I found a trip to Mexico, five nights, all inclusive, resort, food, snacks, drinks, fees, flight,

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: even transportation to him from the airport, all of it

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: with the Honey app that you put me on and ebates.

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: I bought it for five p fifty.

43
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: Oh Donane, that's awesome, I know, right.

44
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: So I was like, whoo, So now I'm feeling like

Speaker 2: Know my coworkers in Mexico. He got his He got

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: his trip also kind of in a cool way. He

48
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 2: they we did like a big event in Omaha, Nebraska.

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: We covered Warren Buffett's annual shareholder meeting. But anyway, so

50
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: half of our team was in Omaha. They all took

51
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: the same flight, and the flight had engine failure and

52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: they had an emergency landing somewhere in like Oklahoma or something,

53
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 2: and it was like really terrifying. And he is our

54
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: social media guy, so of course he was snapchatting, he

55
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: was tweeting, he was facebooking the company I think it

56
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: was United. And at the end of it, they like

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: reached out to him because you know, news reports had

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: like you know, included his snaps and his tweets. They

59
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: gave him guess how many miles as a Curtis how

60
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 2: many five hundred thousand?

61
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

62
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: I almost no, he and I was like a Maya.

63
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: I'm just shouting out his name. I love Maya. But anyway,

64
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: he's I'm like, so, are you gonna like share the wealth?

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: You weren't the only one on the flight.

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: No.

67
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, everyone else tried to I wasn't on the flight,

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: but other people on the flight, you know, tried to

69
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: call the company and get the same deal, and they

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: were you know, told no, basically.

71
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: They get eddy any flight any points.

72
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly, definitely not anywhere near to have

73
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: a million.

74
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: Like literally, like so you just you're just never going

75
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: to pay flights again.

76
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: Like, well, he's in Mexico. I don't know how many

77
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: that he like booked the trip last week, so I

78
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: don't know how many points, how many miles I cost him?

79
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: But ola, I know so according to like my studies,

80
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: I think about four hundred forty thousand miles is about

81
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: four hundred hours, So you know, four hundred dollars is

82
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: basically like round trip to like California, from New York

83
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: to California. Yeah, no, it's a little lesson next sometimes.

84
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: So basically he's got a lot of flying to do.

85
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: That's freaking amazing.

86
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: Good nine or ten trips, well, good for him, and

87
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: then any and you know, way to make lemonade at

88
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: the lemons.

89
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm not gonna lie though. Social media is my

90
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: go to. It's the point now we're Superman. At first,

91
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: he used to think it was silly, like if something happened,

92
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: I'd like, let me tweet the company, and he's to

93
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: be like whatever, and the next thing you know, we'd

94
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: be getting a package. Or I'd be like, babe, so

00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: Now whenever something goes wrong, he's like, I need you

97
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: to get on Twitter.

00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: I love the group on get Away. That's the only

142
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: thing I ever used Group on four anymore.

143
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: But it's new.

144
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: If you're out there and you're nervous about using Groupon,

145
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: I had a great experience. I had a we did

146
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: a thirteen day trip to Turkey. Woh group. I think

147
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: it was like it was air FA It was same,

148
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: not all inclusive, but it was because we did seven

149
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: cities so we're always moving. But it was like all

150
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: airfare included and food and lodging and stuff for fifteen

151
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: hundred per person, which was it really that was like

152
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: what you would spend on one you know.

153
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: One trick flight exactly.

154
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: And because they usually work through like I don't know

155
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: if your trip is like that, I mean it's all inclusive,

156
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: but these multiple day, multiple you know, trips with multiple cities,

157
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: they usually work with like a travel agency and un

158
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: how they're able to get those those good rates.

159
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: I think mine is through like Groupon, is through Vacation Express.

160
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: I feel like it's like the stuff they're trying to

161
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: get rid of. Yeah, I can't.

162
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: That's it's even quite the off season, so that's all.

163
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: I would think. You know what I think though, it's

164
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: because it's the week or weekend before Memorial Day, so

165
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: it is a little bit like because you know everybody's

166
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: gonna be traveling that that the weekend when I get back,

167
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: that's when everyone's leaving. So I'm assuming that's probably why too.

168
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, people ask me all the time, how are

169
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: like the groupon hotels And I'm like, well, groupon doesn't

170
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: own them one two that what I do is like,

171
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: for example, there was actually a cheaper trip I could

172
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: have gotten for about three fifty round trip flight, hotel, everything.

173
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: But what I do is I copy and paste the

174
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: hotel that groupon is saying that you get, and I

175
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: put it into trip Advisor and then I'll look there,

176
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: like because trip Advisor will tell you don't go there.

177
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: And so the really cheap one terrible reviews, and the

178
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: one we're going to they had really really really great reviews.

179
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: So it was more expensive, but it was worth it.

180
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: And yeah, no, I think that's smart trip advisors my

181
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: go to. I love it. The one thing about Groupon

182
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: is you have to really read the five print and

183
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: you sometimes have to live near major airports. Yes, I

184
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: feel like it's a it's a it's convenient living in

185
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: New Jersey or New York because there's like three different airports.

186
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: But if you're in like they usually have them for

187
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: I feel like the East coast cities and the West

188
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 2: coast cities. I don't know about.

189
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: Mid Yeah, Midwest, I don't see too many, but sometimes

190
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: Chicago Ish sometimes those type of places. But you're right,

191
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: it is very convenient if you live this.

192
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: Way, but read that fine print, yes.

193
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: Or call. Honestly, what I do is I always call

194
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: and I ask a bajillion question and write them down,

195
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: like well what about this? What about that? What about

196
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: so there's all was a number there calling ask before

00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: super cheap.

217
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: I was a good girl. I saved all my tax refunds.

218
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: You did, I kind of feel well, yeah, I mean

219
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: I told you I had like double the tax refund

220
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: because I screwed up last year's tax return and I oh, I,

221
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 2: by the way, update, I finally got my check for

222
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 2: my amended tax return because you have to mail it

223
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: and snail mail when you amend it, and like basically,

224
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: my tax guy just handed me the letter and he's like, okay,

225
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 2: take this to the post office. I don't do that

226
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 2: anymore for clients, Okay, okay, I mean, to be fair,

227
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: he only charged me seventy five dollars. So but he

228
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 2: got me fifteen hundred, so best investsman ever?

229
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: Yes, what, Oh, you can't even get that in Vegas?

230
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: I know, but I meet in with my money. But so, yeah,

231
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: you mail it in and then of course it took

232
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: I think I mailed it in mid March and I

233
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: just got my check from the Federal Treasury. Like, could

234
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: they have made this letter look more like a check?

235
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 2: I don't think so, not if they had written like

236
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: this is a check on the front, because they send

237
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: it in this envelope that has a clear set, like

238
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: a clear window thingy, and you can see the Department

239
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: of Treasury, you know, Internal Revenue Service, like right on

240
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 2: the check. But luckily no one took it.

241
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well they can't really do anything with it, can they?

242
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean if you haven't, actually they can.

243
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: You know what I've actually deposited. You know how you

244
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: can deposit checks on your phone?

245
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,239
Speaker 1: Okay, Yes, I've thought about.

246
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: Doing a story on this because I have successfully deposited

247
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: a check on my phone without endorsing it. Like you're

248
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: supposed to endorse it. You're supposed to endorse it. Yeah,

249
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: you're supposed to endorse it. And they never call me

250
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: to check or anything like that. And one time, here's

251
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: why it was messed up. I forget who's I think

252
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: it was my fiance's check. I was putting in our

253
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: joint like savings account. I forget why. I wasn't like

254
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: I was doing something illegal, but it was someone else's check.

255
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 2: I had someone else's name on it. But I was

256
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 2: putting into my account for a very good reason. I

257
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: cannot remember right now, but I did it, and you know,

258
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: without endorsing it with someone else's name, and it just

259
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: went in there.

260
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: Wow.

261
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't realize someone can try and do that, right.

262
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: Somebody's like, thanks, Mandy, and I'll file that away for

263
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: you know gotcha and my gotcha files. It's scammer.

264
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: It sure is irs scam season, you know. My my

265
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: coworker was just she was chatting me earlier and she

266
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: was saying that someone called her on her phone. I

267
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: don't know if she has the landline or cell phone

268
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: or what, but and she is maybe in her mid thirties.

269
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: She said that he called and he was like, HI,

270
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: were the I R S. And he was asking all

271
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: these you know, for all his personal information and telling

272
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: her that she owed some money in taxes and they

273
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: needed to do it. They're going to you know, find

274
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: her and stuff, and she knew that it wasn't She

275
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: knew it was a scam, but he sounded so authoritative

276
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: and she's like, I'm sorry, I know this is a scam.

277
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 2: I've already found my tax return, you know, I have

278
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: my refund. And he's like, well, if it's a scam,

279
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: the one't you just hang up? And that's scary because

280
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of older people, especially would

281
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: you know, they would answer my grandma, you know, if

282
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: she were still alive, she might have answered that call

283
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: and you know, been so afraid she would have just

284
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 2: paid for it.

285
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: That sounds terrible for people who like pray on people

286
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: like that.

287
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: And it's so rampant. It sounds like you see all

288
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: these stories like senior scams and sometimes they call them

289
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,599
Speaker 2: silver scams, and every time I'm like, oh, like okay,

290
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: this happens all the time, and you know it's an issue,

291
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: but you forget it really happens, like, yeah, make millions

292
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: of dollars off of these poor older people.

293
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: So you gotta check in on your pop pop mama.

294
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,240

311
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: Fury is like, you know that's his friend and then Crystal,

312
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: Oh is she.

313
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 2: Well she's said all these homophobic things though.

314
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking that he's gonna take a step back

315
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: because when he was they were cool for a while

316
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: and then but Crystal like hates her from like the rip.

317
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: So I just that's where I first heard of her.

318
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: I never like, as you know, she doesn't I mean

319
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: as far as I know she doesn't really have any

320
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: music kind of out right now, and she is just

321
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: a terrible mess. But it always comes up on the

322
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: read just because Crystal is always dragging her, like, once again, Fury,

323
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: your quote unquote friend is being an idiot.

324
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: Of music.

325
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: I feel like, oh my god, I almost can say

326
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: that she might be worse than Raven because she is

327
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: a troll and a half. I'm like, oh my gosh,

328
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: this woman is like terrible. She's she's always it seems

329
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: like she's always fighting with someone. In the beginning, I

330
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, you know this person said this to her,

331
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: so she said this back. But just recently she was

332
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: trolling a fourteen year old, a young girl who's still

333
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: in eighth grade, who just turned fourteen. She's one of

334
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: the I know you've seen those memes the girl, like

335
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: the cute little brown girl with like sitting there in

336
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: the blue dress and she's sitting on a couch and

337
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: it's like.

338
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: Her name is Jessica Sky.

339
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I only it's so crazy because I'm like, wait,

340
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: because I'm Supergirl, Superman's daughter actually watches like the show

341
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: that she's on. So when I saw those memes, I'm like, hey, noh,

342
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: that little girl. That's the girl from the Disney Channel show.

343
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: We always have to watch when she's here, you know,

344
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: and it was just weird to see her as a meme.

345
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: But anyway, it's like Azilia Banks decided, I guess to

346
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: say some really negative things to this young girl, and

347
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: I just thought, like, what are you doing with your life?

348
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: Well, what had happened was what I might have even

349
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: said her name wrong. I'm gonna look it up real quick.

350
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: But what happened was so Azalea was, as she does,

351
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: throwing shade at some random person who never even put

352
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 2: her name in their mouth on Twitter. So it was Zane,

353
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 2: you know, zaying from one direction. He's like his own artist.

354
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: So he had apparently done a music video that she

355
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: thought copied one of her music videos. He like had

356
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: some it was like black and white and they had

357
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: colored contacts and like a nose ringer. I don't know exactly.

358
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: So she was like clapping back at him on Twitter

359
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: about this video and then started saying all this, like

360
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: calling him a faggot. I'm sorry I said that out loud.

361
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to offend to anybody, but

362
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: just throwing all these homophobic slurs and saying really awful

363
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 2: things and going on this homophobic rant, which is random

364
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: because I don't even think he's gay, but whatever. So

365
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: then this young girl whose name I'm gonna find out,

366
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: Sky Jackson. I totally had that backwards.

367
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: I started with Sky something.

368
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: I was like, Jennifer Sky, Yeah, definitely, I'm right on that,

369
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 2: Sky Jackson. So Sky Jackson's on Twitter and she tweets

370
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: at her and says she needs or she tweets at

371
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: Azaleas saying she just simmer down a little bit. And

372
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 2: that's when Azalea turns her her sights on a little

373
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 2: baby girl Sky and calls her like a She's like,

374
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: I don't know who you are, You're just a meme.

375
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 2: And then Sky claps back and she says a meme

376
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 2: with two point three million Instagram followers and then says

377
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 2: she's like more relevant than her ye, and the world cheered.

378
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: I know, because she's just like you know, when you

379
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: see a bully fabably get beat up.

380
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: By a little the goliath or no, she's not really

381
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 2: a goliath. She's you know, I don't consider Azalia at goliath,

382
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: but no.

383
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: Not at all. But it's just I don't know, like

384
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: what you know, happy people don't behave like that. I

385
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: always think that, like, you know, if everything is great

386
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: and you're happy, you don't you don't behave like that.

387
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: So obviously there's something else going on. And I heard

388
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: I think I was watched to listen to the radio

389
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: that Twitter actually suspended her I suspended her account.

390
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: Oh that they should because the things she was saying

391
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: were awful.

392
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's just I don't know, and it's such a

393
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: shame because she she from what I from what I

394
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: understand from listening once she said to kid Fury, she

395
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: had like such potential and she was she just seemed like, Ooh,

396
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: here's this new brown, sassy girl that we can all

397
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: be like, oh, like you know, almost like a Rihanna junior.

398
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: And then she took a terrible turn toward bitterness, and

399
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: it has like like just Meek Mill doesn't have anything

400
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: on this girl. She's she's destroyed her career.

401
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna still work out to two one two

402
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 2: because that's my favorite running song.

403
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: Oh is that a song of hers?

404
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: You don't want to? So what's chick new? When I am?

405
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 2: I don't know the words? Actually who knows what she's saying.

406
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: It's a great song anyway, what's happening? What's hadden in?

407
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: Oh?

408
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 2: What an? Oh? So that can can that cout my

409
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: brown boot? My brown break still for later?

410
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can definitely take a brown break from her?

411
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: Okay? Good? So I saw that speaking like the antithesis

412
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: of a pop star who's doing horrible things. Bana is

413
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: doing great things. Do you see she launched her own

414
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 2: scholarship program. I saw, Uh, so, apparently it's for Caribbean students,

415
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: students in the Caribbean to come study in America. In America.

416
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: That's awesome, So go ahead, Marie. I think it's great.

417
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: I thought it was really good of her to show

418
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 2: about Black Girls Rock because you know, she didn't have to. Yeah,

419
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: but I feel like she's making an effort to do

420
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 2: some good.

421
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: And it was so cute because I was at Black

422
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: Girl's Rock and I was, like, you know, a good

423
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: five thousand feet away from her, so I could see

424
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: really clearly, but all the young girls were coming up

425
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: to her. She was just giving everybody such hugs and

426
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: like so much time, and it was just so sweet.

427
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 2: Honestly, you've got to be nice to young girls. They're

428
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 2: so cute, I know, and so innocent.

429
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean some of them, some of them.

430
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: Up until about you know, I don't know what age

431
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: the trouble for me, The trouble age was like fifteen

432
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: and a half.

433
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: Oh gosh. I'm not looking forward to Supergirl getting to

434
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 1: be a teenager because every once in a while she'll

435
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 1: show it's a glimpse of what's to come, and I'm

436
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: terrified because she she's nine. So for the most part

437
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: she's like, I'm a little guy and so happy, and

438
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 1: then every once in a while she's just like psych

439
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: on a teenage. Me and Superman are like, oh my god.

440
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: Or she'll say something crazy and we're like, what is

441
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: happening and she'll just and then like the next second

442
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: she goes back, Hi daddy, and I'm like, oh my god, Like,

443
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be insane. Thank God that her

444
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: mom is awesome, so we'll be splitting that responsibility, like yeah, Dade,

445
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, it's hard for me because you know, I'm

446
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: gonna be like, hopefully the stepmom. So it's not like

447
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't discipline her because she's got two

448
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: amazing parents and so if she does something that's like

449
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: and which is rare, that's like not eveally in alignment

450
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: with what she ought to do. It's more so of

451
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: like a correction, like, oh, you know, hey, Supergirl, you know,

452
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: like you're supposed to do your homework first, don't forget

453
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: if you need help, I'm here. So I don't really

454
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: you know, I don't and I don't believe in yelling anyway.

455
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: But I also am like careful about disciplining, like even

456
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: if it's just verbally, just because I feel like what

457
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: Superman and I call her Supermom, they have a however

458
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: they want a parent, that's up to them. It's not

459
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: for me to necessarily parent their child unless they ask

460
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: me to. I don't know. I always feel like, you know,

461
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to overstep because, like I said, she's

462
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: got two really great parents, Like Supermom is like amazing,

463
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: and so I'm like, you don't really need me to

464
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: be you know, I don't know, like, yeah, you know, so.

465
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 2: Speaking as a kid who had a couple step you

466
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 2: know parent, really, Okay, that's not really fair to my mom.

467
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: I only had one stepdad really, but you know, my

468
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: mom was single for a long time, and it had

469
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: been you know, men were around some for longer than others,

470
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 2: and then especially my stepdad for so long, and he

471
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 2: I think did a good job of like kind of

472
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 2: knowing his place. But it's always awkward, and I think

473
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 2: it's different from men versus women. I think it's almost

474
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 2: easier for dudes to kind of well, that's not true.

475
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: My stepdad was a little bit harder on my brothers

476
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: than on the girls. But I feel like for you,

477
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 2: you're kind of in a cool spot though, because you

478
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: could be more of a friendly figure and like a confidant.

479
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

480
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: I mean I am like like a spy for her

481
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: mom and done.

482
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: And it's funny to be like, I didn't tell them this,

483
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: but I kind of have a boyfriend. I'm like, what

484
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: you're not.

485
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 2: That's good.

486
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: That's a good time, I know. And I'm like, you

487
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: don't have a boyfriend. I was like, what makes me

488
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: your boyfriend? Well, at school, I see him and we

489
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: smile and I'm like, well, that's just a friend. She's like,

490
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 1: she's just looking at me, like Tiffany has no idea.

491
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: This is why I blame Cinderella for this. You think

492
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 2: one dance and you're like gonna get married. You ever

493
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 2: watched Disney movies as an adult, like Cinderella, It's just infuriating.

494
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 2: It is, oh, do you know you love him? One

495
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: dance exactly.

496
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: Why you just met. You didn't even speak. He chased

497
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: you out, He followed you and stalked you to where

498
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: you live. And that's that's realmantic. Although when I'm watching it,

499
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh.

500
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 2: I have to really turn off part of my brain

501
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: because I was like, you know, I went into a

502
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: rage after watching it once. My mom is like, Mandy,

503
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 2: you turned out fine, and you watch that and you

504
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: loved it. You were like Cinderella over Christmas or Halloween

505
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 2: every year.

506
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, fine, Sometimes we have to

507
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: have a little like suspension of reality sometimes. So you

508
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: want to do some brown breaking brown brown boostin well.

509
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: First I wanted to talk about one more other things.

510
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: I thought it was so cool as you did you

511
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: know there's black cowboys.

512
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: Yes, well I've seen this video about black cowboys in Philadelphia.

513
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 2: They're in well, they're everywhere. I but so I saw

514
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: this like Fusion did a little quick video on the

515
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: NYC Federation of Black Cowboys, which is based on long Island,

516
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: and it's exactly what it sounds like. It's just like,

517
00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: well they say, it's more of a diverse group of

518
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 2: cowboys farmers really, and they bring inner city kids out

519
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 2: there and like teach them how to take care of

520
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: horses and like, you know, get them out of trouble

521
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 2: and stuff. And I was like what, and then I

522
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 2: and but then one of the stats they said was crazy.

523
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it's not so crazy when you

524
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: think about it, but one third of the people who

525
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 2: who colonized the right word, who civilized or settled the

526
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: West in the nineteen hundreds eighteen hundreds were black. And

527
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: because you needed a lot of people, and not even

528
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 2: just in the eighteen hundreds and nineteen hundreds, but you know,

529
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 2: obviously when slaves came from Africa, a lot of them

530
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: had experience like working farms and agriculture and stuff, and

531
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: so those skills are really important. So they actually played

532
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 2: a big role in the whole idea of like the Western,

533
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 2: the cowboy culture. And then I just started nerding out

534
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 2: and reading all this stuff, so I thought that was

535
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 2: I thought that was cool.

536
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: That is very cool, because you know, people they act

537
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: as if I remember I was listening to some podcasts

538
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: and the woman on it, she was from Oklahoma and

539
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: she's black, and she was saying how much she loved

540
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: that beyond they did a country song. Yeah, I know.

541
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: I was like I didn't want to.

542
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: Like, I'm like, why are you making it? Like? You know,

543
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 2: I listened to that podcast that the only podcast with

544
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 2: this guy and this girl and once.

545
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: Anyway, why so Crystal's from Oklahoma and she was like,

546
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: I love the Beyonce country song. And she's just like,

547
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm from Oklahoma. I grew up on country music.

548
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: I love country music. Yes, black people like country music.

549
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: It's it's more cultural than racial or whatever. You know,

550
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,959
Speaker 1: Like if you grew up in the South, you're exposed

551
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: to country music. So it's not a huge surprise that

552
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: Beyonce from Texas, you know, would do a country song.

553
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: She grew up with country music. So yeah, so I

554
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: can totally dig it and I love it.

555
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. My dad's family, I mean, they're like I need

556
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 2: to one day go back and trace my lineages from

557
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: my dad's side. All I know is they go way

558
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: way back into like deep country Georgia, like not from

559
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: my dad grew up in Atlanta, and I think, you know,

560
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: I think people get caught up in like the urban

561
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 2: image of a black American. But yeah, I mean my

562
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 2: dad's family. I remember being little and going to is

563
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: it a great great uncle who's passed away, But he

564
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: had like an outhouse and he lives on this big

565
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: farm like in a really like a tiny little farm town,

566
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: and I yeah, you don't see that. But the I mean,

567
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: black people can wear cowboy boots and overalls and like

568
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 2: reclaim part of the history all they want exactly. Yeah,

569
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: all right, okay, now we can do well. I guess

570
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 2: you can do brown break, brown boost.

571
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take a boost, honey. This is for

572
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: all the brown ladies out there who like brown dudes.

573
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: Have you seen the hashtag big guy Twitter?

574
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: Yes, I have, go ahead, and I'll tell you how

575
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: I feel about it.

576
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: So, I mean, I'm sure there's some other like political

577
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: whatever implications, but I'm just here for the pictures. I love,

578
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, Superman, So this is no disrespect to Superman.

579
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: But so the.

580
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: Hashtag big guy Twitter, I think it was started. I

581
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: don't know if it was started about like a one

582
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: of these like weightlifter guys or whatever. But anyway, it's

583
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: like it started like to really celebrate guys that are

584
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 1: it's just for black guys, but I think it started

585

Speaker 1: off that way guys that are over sixty, and like

586
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: I didn't even know anything about it until this morning.

587
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: I rolled over, opened my phone and it like popped

588
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,040

600
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: don't know how it really it started, but I know

601
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: how it's ended.

602
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 2: How's that.

603
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: It's ending with me jeweling over big Guy Twitter. I'm

604
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: sure Superman is like really because honest see he's a

605
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: big guy. He's six six and he's but he's not

606
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: like big at all. He's like actually really skinny. I'm

607
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: always disgusted at how close and weight we are, which

608
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 1: is like crazy.

609
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 2: Girl tell me about it.

610
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: To see six and I'm five eight. But yeah, it's

611
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: just I love a tall glass of water.

612
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 2: And see when I thought when I heard big Guy Twitter,

613
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: my first thought was like, oh, it's like, you know,

614
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: big guy, like fat Guy's overweight guys celebrating their overweightedness.

615
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: Me too, I thought at first, too well, then I

616
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: thought something else, but it was really fresh, and I

617
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: was like, wait, let me go see.

618
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: I was like, wait a minute, but now I see.

619
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: But my initial thought was like I just you know what,

620
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 2: it's not fair. I feel like guys get away with

621
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: so much stuff, you know, like being overweight. I read

622
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: something about how chest hair is now back in, like

623
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 2: chest hair is a new man bun, like it's really in,

624
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: which you know, used to be considered a flaw, and like,

625
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: guys just get away with so much stuff you know,

626
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: dad bought it's a positive thing, like guys with slab

627
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: And I'm like, girls, there's none.

628
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: Of that, I know what, Like look at DJ Kelly

629
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: with his iconic belly. What can you imagine a woman

630
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: with an iconic belly she's just considered fat?

631
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: No, I mean I guess maybe like a famous woman

632
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: is pregnant than her belly is famous. Yeah, but yeah,

633
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: it's just not fair. I just so you know, maybe

634
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: I'm just taking a little too seriously. But I do

635
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 2: feel like men are I think everyone can kind of agree,

636
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 2: like fat guys get to be cool, funny, lovable. Fat

637
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: girls are like ill, lazy, disgusting. So I think I

638
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: feel like big girl Twitter would be a lot different.

639
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that that. Well, you know what, though,

640
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: there's been a movement to have like more inclusive big

641
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: girl like, for example, have you heard of Gabby Fresh?

642
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: Of course, yeah, I love her.

643
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: Right. So I'm so mad because I was trying to

644
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: buy a bathing suit and I'm like, are you kidding me?

645
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: They're like all sold out. Her bathing suits are everything.

646
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, if you have like a regular woman's body,

647
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: it's like they're so flattering and I can't find one anywhere.

648
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I feel like there's this movement of

649
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: just like embracing your body no matter what the size.

650
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: Although I always feel like whenever they show big girls

651
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: are beautiful. You notice they never have a stomach. I'm like,

652
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: how houseway?

653
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: I mean, there's always been a movement for like you know,

654
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: and I think magazines are not running. I saw a

655
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: Christian Siriano who is like a project runway designer who's

656
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: actually made it. I feel like he's a big star now.

657
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 2: He's very famous. He had a new line with Lane

658
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: Bryant of like plus sized clothing, and he had Danielle, Oh,

659
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: Danielle what's her face? From Oranges as the new Black.

660
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: She's also in the color purple right now? What's her

661
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 2: last name? Danielle? I forget? I love her. I think

662
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: it's like Danielle b or something. But she was like

663
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: in his runway show with Ashley what's her face? I'm

664
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 2: so good with names, So it's Danielle b something and

665
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: Ashley what's her face? That plus size model who was

666
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 2: like the first one ever to be onor illustrated. Okay,

667
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: she was in this fashion show. I think Abby Fresh

668
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: was even in this fashion show, and uh, I think

669
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 2: that's a positive image. I wish they would create more

670
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: big girl bridal boutiques, not even big girl, just like

671
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: can I you know what? I and I was just

672
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've complained about this before, but

673
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: trying on bridal gowns for me, if I didn't have

674
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 2: a really strong self sense of self, would be really

675
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: demoralizing because you walk in and I've twice gone into

676
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: two different boutiques with women and I'm like, Okay, I

677
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: like this kind of dress.

678
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: You know.

679
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: I don't want a big ball gown just because I

680
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: have hips. I want something that fits me, you know.

681
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: And I've said that, and they brought dresses in and

682
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: none of them fit me because they're all sample sizes

683
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: are like fours and eights and I'm like a size

684
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 2: twelve and real girl sizes and they just don't have

685
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 2: sample sizes in my size. And twice the people have

686
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 2: been like, well, this is what we have, so sorry,

687
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: you know, and I'm like, what do you do if

688
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 2: you're normal? I mean, I guess I could buy a

689
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 2: dress that I haven't tried on, but that's stupid. So

690
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: I'm having I'm like finding myself really seeking out plus

691
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 2: size or normal size, like bridal boutiques a specializing girls

692
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: with curves. There's one in Atlanta I'm going to. I'm

693
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: really excited about it's called Ivory Bridle. Okay, I'm gonna go.

694
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 2: And they actually had one of those plus size models

695
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: like on their website, which is what I liked about them.

696
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go and try dresses on. But it sucks.

697
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just crazy that, Yeah.

698
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 2: That is money.

699
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: What if they don't address the fact that people are

700
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: different sizes?

701
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, how do you continue? How do you make

702
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess there's enough regular sized girls in

703
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: the world. I just don't know how that's a good

704
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: business to not have sample sizes that are bigger.

705
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just that, but I'm like, what is

706
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: a regular size girl? Like? There are people who are

707
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: super tall, super slim, super short, super like curvy, super

708
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's just, yeah, it's

709
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: it is frustrating because even like I don't know, so

710
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: I consider myself, I guess regular size, Like I'm not big,

711
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm not really skinny, but I feel like nothing fits

712
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: because of this boutet. I'm like really hot. Like every

713
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: if you got a butt, oh my gosh, you're like yay,

714
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: the jeans got over my thighs. And then as soon

715
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: as I hit your wasted, they're like psych it's just

716
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: floating and open. It's just always something or like even

717
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: now because if I do a speaking I'm always so

718
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: selbf conscious because I don't want to look like I'm

719
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: wearing a club dress. But then it's like I have

720
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: to wear something too big then to not look fresh

721
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: on stage in my booty everywhere. I mean, I wear spakes,

722
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: I wear a corset, I wear all the stuff to

723
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: kind of hold in my shape, so I'm not like

724
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: looking like Vava vum, you know. Yeah, yeah, it's just

725
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: a shame because I feel like, you know, I remember

726
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: like my boyfriend being like, why are you putting all

727
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: this stuff on? You're not big? I'm like, no, I

728
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: just don't want to be offensive, as if like my

729
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: natural sexuality, you know, but not even on purpose. Just

730
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: the shape of my body is offensive.

731
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Well it's not up to us to change

732
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: a fashion and well, I guess we can vote with

733
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: our wallets. This is what I plan on doing by

734
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 2: giving my business to designers who actually, you know, understand

735
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: the uniqueness of different bodies. Yeah, I forget how this

736
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: all started. What was your brown break?

737
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: Oh? My brown break was no, No, it was big guy.

738
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: Twitter hashtag hashtag You're welcome, ladies. So you said your

739
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: brown break was I know it's a miss Banks.

740
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's it, Miss Banks. I'm just tired of

741
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: Twitter trolls and we covered that. That's what we don't have

742
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 2: to re we don't have to revisit. I'm really going

743
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 2: to take a bron break from her. I'm going to

744
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 2: give her the Voldemort treatment. She who must not be named.

745
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: I like that.

746
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 2: Let's move on to some tupshits man, all right, got

747
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:05,720

00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 2: How's that proactive working out for you?

754
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: It's only been day three. I'm not gonna lie. There's

755
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: a little extra tingle that I prefer because I'm not used.

756
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm just used to using dub. So I told myself

757
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna give it like a week, week and

758
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: a half and see. But I took your advice, so

759
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: Mandy and I bought some I actually bought some birth

760
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: to be sensitive wipe so when I work out at

761
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 1: the gym, to wipe off right away, like my face

762
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: and my chest in my back.

763
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I like those.

764
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, So because I was like, you know, I know,

765
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's just all the sweating and

766
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 1: by the time I get home, it's all baked in.

767
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 2: That's a good analogy, delicious.

768
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: So what's what's the question someone has today?

769
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 2: We have a question from anonymous or just a Okay,

770
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: she says, okay, so I can relate. She says, I

771
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 2: recently got engaged and I'm trying to save for a

772
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 2: wedding in October twenty seventeen and a down payment on

773
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 2: a house in October twenty sixteen. I'm trying to cut

774
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: my spending and want to try one of those no

775
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 2: buy challenges. Have either of you done them? If so,

776
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 2: any advice? If not, how do you resist the urge

777
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: to spend money on things that you don't need. I'm

778
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 2: not really an extravagant spender, but I like to eat

779
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: out and brass for deals at TJ Max. Girl, you

780
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 2: were everybody, Yes, you are all of us.

781
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: I was just a TJ Max earlier, so.

782
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, first, like let's talk about a no

783
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 2: by thing, the no By challenge. So it's have become

784
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 2: It's always funny to me because, for example, I just

785
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 2: saw that Charles Schwab is a big just huge retirement

786
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: investment firm and they're the you know, basically Charles Schwab's

787
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 2: real life daughter is an executive there and she's hosting

788
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 2: like a no by challenge for Tarlish Bob. Part of

789
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: me is like, girl, you're probably a billionaire. Why are

790
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 2: you right this challenge so offensive it is.

791
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, she's like, no bye while I'm in my jet.

792
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: I didn't buy it, though I got dad.

793
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 2: How do you feel about them?

794
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a good thing. I think

795
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: there's a woman named the Frugal Lista. I want to

796
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 1: say her name is Natalie Oh yes, yes, yeah remember.

797
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: So I'm almost positive she does a no By challenge

798
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: once a year if you could just google Frugal Lista.

799
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: And I think I like the challenges, you know, I

800
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: have like a challenge, and so what I like about

801
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: it is that one it's something like it's like a game,

802
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's like the gamification of like saving or

803
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: whatever you're trying to do. So it gives you clear

804
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: parameters of like what winning looks like, what not winning

805
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: looks like, and really, to me, what works best if

806
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: you're going to do one of those challenges is to

807
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: get yourself an accountability partner, like your sister, your boo,

808
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: your coworker, somebody that you can do it with. So

809
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: that way, every day you're like, girl, did you buy

810
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: anything I didn't? I did? Okay, So I say, there's

811
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with doing a financial challenge. Do it with someone,

812
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: and don't beat yourself up if you don't stick to

813
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 1: it perfectly. So just make it fun.

814
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 2: I'm going to use a lot of I feel like

815
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 2: this is one of those cases where you have to

816
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 2: use a diet analogy because, like people have shown, tons

817
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 2: of research has shown that a restrictive diet where you

818
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: completely cut out one food group, like you cut carbs

819
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: or you cut out all sugar, it doesn't really work

820
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 2: in the long term because then you're restricting yourself so

821
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 2: much that when finally you like say, the no by

822
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 2: challenge ends or the diet ends after two months or

823
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 2: one month or whatever, and then you're like, oh my god,

824
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: I can go to the store again. Or oh my god,

825
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 2: I can have donuts again, then you have the entire box,

826
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 2: or then you buy like a ton of stuff. I

827
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 2: think like a no by challenge can be fun, but

828
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 2: I almost feel like if you're really trying to cut

829
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 2: your spending for the long term, for like the wedding

830
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 2: which is over a year away and the down payment,

831
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 2: like maybe doing something more that would help you develop

832
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 2: the right kind of budget or the right kind of

833
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 2: saving strategy would be a little bit more helpful than

834
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: you know, simply because stopping buying clothes, maybe you'll have

835
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: more money at the end of the month, But I

836
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: don't know, are you going to do that for the

837
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: next year and a half until your wedding? It seems unrealistic, you.

838
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: Know, Yeah, I mean if usually the challenges are like

839
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: a few weeks or like a month, so it's not

840
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: forever and ever and ever. But to me, especially if

841
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: it's a long term thing like that, you might want

842
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: to look into something that you know that addresses the

843
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: long term because if you're saving, to me, the best

844
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: type of saving is when you are trying to save

845
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: for a specific thing and then because what you can

846
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: do is say, okay, my wedding's going to cost me

847
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars and my wedding is approximately you know,

848
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: ten months away, So twenty thousands divided by ten months

849
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: is this is how much I need to save a month.

850
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: And so you can, you know, you can be very

851
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: strategic about putting aside that kind of money. And so

852
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: that's why you know, having clear savings goals how much

853
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: you need to save and when you need to have

854
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 1: it by, and then stocking that money to the side,

855
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: so that ways it's less about what you're not going

856
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: to buy and more about like kind of like what's

857
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: left over. So if you save what you're supposed to

858
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: save that month, and you have ten bucks left over

859
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: for Panera, well they get Panara. You've hte your savings goal, you.

860
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 2: Know, yeah, totally.

861
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

862
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, treat yourself every once in a while.

863
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 2: It's a little something. Maybe don't eat out four days

864
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 2: of the week and then one day have a nice

865
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: dinner because you don't want to be miserable. You work

866
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 2: hard for your money, of course, you don't be miserable

867
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 2: before you you know, while you're planning your wedding, it's

868
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: already miserable enough.

869
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: Girl, I'm not doing it already told I'm not doing it.

870
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: We're going to just as the piece and a nice dinner.

871
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 2: That sounds nice. No, I'm really happy with you know,

872
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 2: I haven't. I think it really depends on your family.

873
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: My mom has been so far, knock on wood, really

874
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 2: nice and really good.

875
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: Okay.

876
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: I'm not, of course living with my mother and future

877
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: mother in law yet, which I will be at the

878
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 2: end of May, so that might complicate things having her

879
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 2: so close and able to weigh in. But so far,

880
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 2: so good. Like the place I picked, I would say,

881
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 2: if you're gonna, you know, plan a wedding, I spent

882
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 2: the money to get a venue that does everything like

883
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 2: they just do all the catering, they have the wedding.

884
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 2: I have a wedding planner included and a day of coordinator,

885
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 2: so I have someone pulling the strings for me and

886
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 2: referring me. So there's a lot less for me to

887
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: do then, Like, I don't know what I would do

888
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 2: if I wasn't at to pick all my vendors and stuff.

889
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 2: That's just too much.

890
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: Now that's actually really smart. Well, thanks, you know you

891
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: is smart Manby. I saw that thing he posted, Yeah,

892
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: what was it? That what I wish I would have

893
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: learned in college?

894
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, so it was yeah, five things I wish

895
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: I knew before I got my first job.

896
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: No, that was really good. I was like, look, good man.

897
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: The most pipe they won was your boss is not

898
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: your friend. Oh, don't get a loyal They're not loyal

899
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 2: to you.

900
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 1: What somebody had to tell me that. I was like,

901
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: it was a brand and that I didn't want to

902
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: work with a competitor. And someone was like, did they

903
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: call you when they got the other girl? I was like,

904
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: you know, I was like no, They're like, oh, I'm

905
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: just asking, you know, because you want here trying to

906
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: be loyal, you know, you have to have friends. You

907
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: have to have your shady friends that get you together.

908
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: Like that. You're like, Okay, you're right, you know what,

909
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: You're right.

910
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 2: Sorry for that tangent Anonymous, but hope that helps. I

911
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 2: think the no by challenge, like short term could be cool,

912
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 2: but I mean for me, and it's just like what

913
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 2: Tiffany said for my wedding. I you know, I've been

914
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 2: saving for that for a while, but I actually had

915
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 2: I had a savings account through Capital One and then

916
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 2: I transferred it to Capitol one three sixty, and then

917
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: I actually eventually transferred to Ally because you have a

918
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 2: little bit of a higher interest rate. Go ahead.

919
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 1: No, I was gonna say, I love Ally. That's like

920
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,640

968

Speaker 1: friends are doing dope things, you know, And so I

1016
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: think that's what I'm going to make my win that.

1017
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 1: I was talking to one of my friends today before

1018
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: we were taping, and he owns a laundryman. So when

1019
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: he bought it, so when I met him, he was

1020
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,439
Speaker 1: just like working at an airline as like a gate

1021
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: a gay agent, and then he was like, I think

1022
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: I would to buy a laundrymat. I was like, oh cool,

1023
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: you know you grew up in laundromats. No, you know

1024
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: somebody with a laundrymat. No. I was like okay. And

1025
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 1: that was three years ago. And now his laundromat is

1026
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: doing so well. He's actually buying his second one next month.

1027
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: And he was just telling me, you know, like he

1028
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 1: doesn't even have to work in the laundrymat anymore, and

1029
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: he's just doing really well. And like my publicist, who's

1030
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: also my best friend, she's doing so well. She's got

1031
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 1: this huge contract with a government agency and she's kicking

1032
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,959
Speaker 1: behind and my other friend who's also an assembly woman

1033
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: in the state of New Jersey, and she hit me up.

1034
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: It was like, I want to write a law to

1035
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: make it mandatory for kids to learn personal finance in school.

1036
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 1: She's like, let's call it. The budget needs to build,

1037
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: like you know. And so someone told me the other day,

1038
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: They're like, you have really amazing friends, and so that's

1039
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: really my win. And then I thought about it. I'm like, well,

1040
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,720
Speaker 1: none of my friends who are amazing like you, Mandy,

1041
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: you know, like every like look at I think about

1042
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 1: Tanya of my fab Finance and Marsha and all these

1043
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: people who are doing great. When I met them, you know,

1044
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 1: we were just regular. We weren't like slaying in these streets,

1045
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: you know.

1046
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 2: You know, wait, am I slaying?

1047
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: Hello? Yeahoo finance? What you know? And so but I didn't,

1048
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, that's not why we became friends. It's just

1049
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: like I like her. She seems nice. And when I

1050
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: look at the evolution of people who I, you know,

1051
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: that I'm connected to, I'm like, wow, they really are

1052
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: doing amazing things. But that's not why I chose them.

1053
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: It's just because we connected and they were nice and

1054
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: we were cool and so My win is just especially

1055
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 1: if you're if you're young, like making your business to

1056
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: connect with great people, you know, not for the exactly

1057
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: at all, just because they're great people. And you'll see

1058
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: that great people end up doing great things and like,

1059
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, like and it's true. It's just weird because honestly,

1060
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 1: it's not even like I do business with most of

1061
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: my friends or anything. Well that's not true, but you

1062
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: end up sometimes doing business with some of your friends,

1063
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: and that would lead me to like a book suggestion

1064
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: if you've never read Delivering Happiness by Tony Hirsch. Delivering

1065
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: Happiness Tony Hirsch. He's the guy who owns Zappos, the

Speaker 1: online sneaker shoe like his a billionaire. You hirsh I

1067
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: think so h E R c H or something like that.

1068
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 2: I think it's shay. It's like spelled h s I

1069
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 2: E H or something weird. But yes, I know you're

1070
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 2: talking about.

1071
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, So his book. What I love about his book

1072
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,040
