1
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: Are you beinging anything recently? Okay, So I need to

2
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: find something new because I just recently bended. I might

3
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: be a little late, I'm beinging. I just ben Lula

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: Rich you did, okay to watch it? No, I think

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: I told you to watch it? Okay, okay, okay. So

6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: it was I found it so entertaining interesting because of

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: a personal connection. So when I lived in the first

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: town house, okay, I used to look out my back

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: window and in the house across the street, across the alley,

10
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's like the garage is like backed up

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: to each other. I could see through this woman's garage

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: that she had, like like it was her garage, but

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: it looked like a store, right, Okay, So wait, all right,

14
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: so Lula Rich before I tell a story about the

15
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: lady Lula Riche is a documentary about the company Lula Row,

16
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: which pretty much is a multi level marketing company that

17
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: sells leggings. Right, so leggings printed like so they like

18
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: with all these crazy prints. They're really soft. They're like

19
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: one size kind of fits all or like certain you know,

20
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, like um really soft. And they have

21
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: all these crazy prints, crazy prints, and and and they

22
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: blew up like their business like blew up exponentially. So

23
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: they have all these people, mostly white ladies, across the

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: country signing up paying thousands of dollars to get all

25
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: this Lula Row inventory and to host the party. You know,

26
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: you host a party, people come, they buy stuff, You

27
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: buy more inventory pots. Okay, but it's like it was

28
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: like a straight Ponzi scheme, right, well, it started, it went.

29
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: I think it was good. While it was good, I

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: think they grew too fast and too big and then

31
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: it and then it imploded. So Robin is always trying

32
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: to get people to benefeit the down. They knew exactly

33
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: what they were doing and they were there too. Um

34
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: we have a celebrity guest here and he's looking through

35
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: the window. His name one High One, and um, I

36
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: think he's just come home from work, and U one

37
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: is We always love one. We love seeing him. Okay. Anyway,

38
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: back to the story, it was a straight pin it was.

39
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: It was a straight and way. It was straight. I'm

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with multi level marketing companies. I've signed up for,

41
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: you know, to sell jewelry with Tracy Lynn jewelry and

42
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I think you know, when it

43
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: goes good, it goes good. And I think they just

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: I think they started off with good intentions and they

45
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: just got way into over their head. Like I think

46
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: the wife had good intentions that husband, and he was

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: like I'm trying. He was like, I don't care it. Okay,

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, So let me tell you a story about

49
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: the lady behind me. Okay. So I would literally like

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: look out my back window and I could see through

51
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: her garage just like lit those little small windows in

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: the garages, right, and I could see it was like

53
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: literally she had the ring light, she had carpet and

54
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: sofa and shelving. It literally looked like a store. And

55
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: then racks, you know, of all these leggings everywhere, right,

56
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: So I'm like, what the hell is going away? Oh?

57
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: And then I could see her like, you know, talking

58
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: to a camera holding the leggings up, and she was

59
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: doing her Facebook stuff, right, so, doing her Facebook live

60
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: selling the leggings and stuff. And so you know, one

61
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: day I was talking to her like what is going

62
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: on here? And let me tell you this woman had

63
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: five kids, quit her job to sell Lulu row in

64
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: her garage and she was just try how much money

65
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: she was making off of these leggings. I even bought

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: a couple from her because they were really soft. They

67
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: felt good. Did yours have bananas on them? Or stars?

68
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Or I mean that the prints on these leggings are

69
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: more horrible and I had I had a few prints,

70
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: but they also had some solid so I got like

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: a solid black solid like light blue, and then I

72
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: got like a couple of prints, but I think that

73
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: were the prints. Like once and I was like, WHOA,

74
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: that'so much. And that was the whole scheme of it.

75
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: Like they would make a print and they would only

76
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: make a certain number, so you're like searching for that print,

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: but you're searching for like elephants or I don't know, lizards. Yeah,

78
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: it was crazy they made it seeing I don't know,

79
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: it was there like they played a whole mind trickery.

80
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to like y'all just need to

81
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: watch it and just be amazed by like how it

82
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: almost it felt very cultish. It felt like they were brainwashed.

83
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, when I watched that document so

84
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: like so pretty much, you know it was great people

85
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: making all this money. They were like, um, the Lula

86
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: Roe company encouraged people to you know, buy designer bags

87
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: and nice cars to kind of show off like, oh

88
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: what selling Lula Row can do for you? So um,

89
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: so then you know, start everything started going to ship.

90
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: They've been indicted press the late the couple it's a

91
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: married couple that that owned the company and run a company.

92
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: They have been indicted right right they went to travel something.

93
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: I will say, the business still exists. I did google?

94
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: Did you end up googling? So they still have a

95
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: website and they still exist. So um, you know, they

96
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: ended up having supply issues. They were, you know, starting

97
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: to steal people's design, like their their designers felt overwhelmed

98
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: because they've had to like get out so much, so

99
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: much stuff. Then they really started I don't see, let

100
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: me stop giving away everything when I do want to say,

101
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: I swear one of those people they featured on the

102
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: show complaining was my neighbor. I swear it was her.

103
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: I swear. I can't believe it. I swear it was her.

104
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: I mean, and then so I feel bad. I'm like,

105
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: she really quit her job to sell that stuff, and

106
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: clearly it didn't end up well for her. No, it

107
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: didn't end up well for any The majority of the

108
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: people and they were making money. They Okay, so the

109
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: owners are making billions in the billions and everybody else.

110
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: You know, if it's a tear, you know, the top

111
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: people are getting the most of the money. So if

112
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: you get in early, you're making like a hundred thousand

113
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: dollars a month at least, just off of like the

114
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: people under you. But so and it's the second tier there,

115
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: they were making like millions. So they they started focusing

116
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: on recruiting salespeople. And that's where things got really bad

117
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: because it's like they had all these sales people and

118
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: then that's when the quality of the product, you know,

119
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: just slipped away and they got with the product. That's

120
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: not how the quality slipped away. Okay, Okay, we're not

121
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: gonna just watch it, but just know that one of

122
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: those ladies complaining on Facebook was my neighbor. It was

123
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: so fascinating to watch though her do that, and I

124
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: almost contemplated signing up to sell it. I would have.

125
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: I would have tried selling you some legons. So I

126
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: do not want like because the next the next like

127
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: artwork will be like a picture of our faces on

128
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: the legs, right, or it'll be like r h p

129
00:06:52,640 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: all over it, little cherry blessing, so I thought about it. Ye.
