Speaker 1: Are you beinging anything recently? Okay, So I need to
Speaker 1: find something new because I just recently bended. I might
Speaker 1: be a little late, I'm beinging. I just ben Lula
Speaker 1: Rich you did, okay to watch it? No, I think
Speaker 1: I told you to watch it? Okay, okay, okay. So
Speaker 1: it was I found it so entertaining interesting because of
Speaker 1: a personal connection. So when I lived in the first
Speaker 1: town house, okay, I used to look out my back
Speaker 1: window and in the house across the street, across the alley,
Speaker 1: you know, it's like the garage is like backed up
Speaker 1: to each other. I could see through this woman's garage
Speaker 1: that she had, like like it was her garage, but
Speaker 1: it looked like a store, right, Okay, So wait, all right,
Speaker 1: so Lula Rich before I tell a story about the
Speaker 1: lady Lula Riche is a documentary about the company Lula Row,
Speaker 1: which pretty much is a multi level marketing company that
Speaker 1: sells leggings. Right, so leggings printed like so they like
Speaker 1: with all these crazy prints. They're really soft. They're like
Speaker 1: one size kind of fits all or like certain you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, like um really soft. And they have
Speaker 1: all these crazy prints, crazy prints, and and and they
Speaker 1: blew up like their business like blew up exponentially. So
Speaker 1: they have all these people, mostly white ladies, across the
Speaker 1: country signing up paying thousands of dollars to get all
Speaker 1: this Lula Row inventory and to host the party. You know,
Speaker 1: you host a party, people come, they buy stuff, You
Speaker 1: buy more inventory pots. Okay, but it's like it was
Speaker 1: like a straight Ponzi scheme, right, well, it started, it went.
Speaker 1: I think it was good. While it was good, I
Speaker 1: think they grew too fast and too big and then
Speaker 1: it and then it imploded. So Robin is always trying
Speaker 1: to get people to benefeit the down. They knew exactly
Speaker 1: what they were doing and they were there too. Um
Speaker 1: we have a celebrity guest here and he's looking through
Speaker 1: the window. His name one High One, and um, I
Speaker 1: think he's just come home from work, and U one
Speaker 1: is We always love one. We love seeing him. Okay. Anyway,
Speaker 1: back to the story, it was a straight pin it was.
Speaker 1: It was a straight and way. It was straight. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with multi level marketing companies. I've signed up for,
Speaker 1: you know, to sell jewelry with Tracy Lynn jewelry and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I think you know, when it
Speaker 1: goes good, it goes good. And I think they just
Speaker 1: I think they started off with good intentions and they
Speaker 1: just got way into over their head. Like I think
Speaker 1: the wife had good intentions that husband, and he was
Speaker 1: like I'm trying. He was like, I don't care it. Okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead, So let me tell you a story about
Speaker 1: the lady behind me. Okay. So I would literally like
Speaker 1: look out my back window and I could see through
Speaker 1: her garage just like lit those little small windows in
Speaker 1: the garages, right, and I could see it was like
Speaker 1: literally she had the ring light, she had carpet and
Speaker 1: sofa and shelving. It literally looked like a store. And
Speaker 1: then racks, you know, of all these leggings everywhere, right,
Speaker 1: So I'm like, what the hell is going away? Oh?
Speaker 1: And then I could see her like, you know, talking
Speaker 1: to a camera holding the leggings up, and she was
Speaker 1: doing her Facebook stuff, right, so, doing her Facebook live
Speaker 1: selling the leggings and stuff. And so you know, one
Speaker 1: day I was talking to her like what is going
Speaker 1: on here? And let me tell you this woman had
Speaker 1: five kids, quit her job to sell Lulu row in
Speaker 1: her garage and she was just try how much money
Speaker 1: she was making off of these leggings. I even bought
Speaker 1: a couple from her because they were really soft. They
Speaker 1: felt good. Did yours have bananas on them? Or stars?
Speaker 1: Or I mean that the prints on these leggings are
Speaker 1: more horrible and I had I had a few prints,
Speaker 1: but they also had some solid so I got like
Speaker 1: a solid black solid like light blue, and then I
Speaker 1: got like a couple of prints, but I think that
Speaker 1: were the prints. Like once and I was like, WHOA,
Speaker 1: that'so much. And that was the whole scheme of it.
Speaker 1: Like they would make a print and they would only
Speaker 1: make a certain number, so you're like searching for that print,
Speaker 1: but you're searching for like elephants or I don't know, lizards. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was crazy they made it seeing I don't know,
Speaker 1: it was there like they played a whole mind trickery.
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to like y'all just need to
Speaker 1: watch it and just be amazed by like how it
Speaker 1: almost it felt very cultish. It felt like they were brainwashed.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, when I watched that document so
Speaker 1: like so pretty much, you know it was great people
Speaker 1: making all this money. They were like, um, the Lula
Speaker 1: Roe company encouraged people to you know, buy designer bags
Speaker 1: and nice cars to kind of show off like, oh
Speaker 1: what selling Lula Row can do for you? So um,
Speaker 1: so then you know, start everything started going to ship.
Speaker 1: They've been indicted press the late the couple it's a
Speaker 1: married couple that that owned the company and run a company.
Speaker 1: They have been indicted right right they went to travel something.
Speaker 1: I will say, the business still exists. I did google?
Speaker 1: Did you end up googling? So they still have a
Speaker 1: website and they still exist. So um, you know, they
Speaker 1: ended up having supply issues. They were, you know, starting
Speaker 1: to steal people's design, like their their designers felt overwhelmed
Speaker 1: because they've had to like get out so much, so
Speaker 1: much stuff. Then they really started I don't see, let
Speaker 1: me stop giving away everything when I do want to say,
Speaker 1: I swear one of those people they featured on the
Speaker 1: show complaining was my neighbor. I swear it was her.
Speaker 1: I swear. I can't believe it. I swear it was her.
Speaker 1: I mean, and then so I feel bad. I'm like,
Speaker 1: she really quit her job to sell that stuff, and
Speaker 1: clearly it didn't end up well for her. No, it
Speaker 1: didn't end up well for any The majority of the
Speaker 1: people and they were making money. They Okay, so the
Speaker 1: owners are making billions in the billions and everybody else.
Speaker 1: You know, if it's a tear, you know, the top
Speaker 1: people are getting the most of the money. So if
Speaker 1: you get in early, you're making like a hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a month at least, just off of like the
Speaker 1: people under you. But so and it's the second tier there,
Speaker 1: they were making like millions. So they they started focusing
Speaker 1: on recruiting salespeople. And that's where things got really bad
Speaker 1: because it's like they had all these sales people and
Speaker 1: then that's when the quality of the product, you know,
Speaker 1: just slipped away and they got with the product. That's
Speaker 1: not how the quality slipped away. Okay, Okay, we're not
Speaker 1: gonna just watch it, but just know that one of
Speaker 1: those ladies complaining on Facebook was my neighbor. It was
Speaker 1: so fascinating to watch though her do that, and I
Speaker 1: almost contemplated signing up to sell it. I would have.
Speaker 1: I would have tried selling you some legons. So I
Speaker 1: do not want like because the next the next like
Speaker 1: artwork will be like a picture of our faces on
Speaker 1: the legs, right, or it'll be like r h p
Speaker 1: all over it, little cherry blessing, so I thought about it. Ye.
