00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: this pullover? This is that brand you told me about ou.

6
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's really because the red red is giving honeys.

7
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: Girls like the name of the lippy.

8
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so yeah, Tiffany is like, oh yeah, I

9
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 3: know the odor of that lippy. So my favorite activity

10
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: is shopping the end caps at Target, so like the

11
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: end of the aisles and I always find good stuff.

12
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 3: So this was like a Black History Month special lip

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: kit had a lip pencil and a liquid bat lip

14
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: gloss or whatever lipstick and the color is rich Anti

15
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: rich as it's good. And then the liner it's called

16
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: straight No Chaser.

17
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: So if you're not familiar lit the lit the lip

18
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: bar is by Melissa Butler and she was actually on

19
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: Shark Tank and they said, girl, you tried it, we

20
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: don't want it, and she said, no, you tried it.

21
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: And now she's like one of the I think she's

22
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: like the biggest Black Owned makeup line inside Target. She

23
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: actually has two lines she's got the lip bar. I

24
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: mean it's Thrive or something like that. Thread. Yes, it's

25
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: like this blue line thing that she has. But Melissa

26
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: is amazing. She's been slaying I remember distinctly, like I

27
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: think it's the pandemic. She was having a hard time

28
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: because you know, people weren't going outside and trying to

29
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: look cute.

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: Well, took off that.

31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: She more than rebounded and bounced all the way back.

32
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, I her colors are the best one. They last.

33
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, colors are drinking you see all this?

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: Yes, right, so Mandy has a water bottle that she's

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: drinking out. I really have to say, like the colors,

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: like when I put them on, like whenever, I would

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: say eighty percent at a time, when I'm on TV

38
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: or whatever, I'm wearing her color because my makeup bars

39
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: can't always come with me and they will last the

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: whole time. Yeah. So she actually has a place in

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: Detroit which I've been to, which is really cute. But

42
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: she's sold in targeted and I think CVS, CBS. She's

43
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: just swaying. She's just like a sassy, beautiful black woman

44
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: that is like what straight out of Detroit. So try

45
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: if you want to so shout out a listen.

46
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: Oh that's awesome. Well did you have a good B

47
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 3: Day weekend? I think there might have been another holiday

48
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: this weekend, but it was it was a national holiday.

49
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: Like I actually wished people a happy b Day all

50
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: day I had. And this is I have such a

51
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: heartbreaking story. I feel like every time her everyone. Once

52
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 3: in a while, I give you like a Mandy adventure

53
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,279
Speaker 3: Adventures of Mandy, where like it is just a clusterfuck

54
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: and the everything goes wrong. And if you're if you

55
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: have kids at home, with little kids, you know, the

56
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: morning routine of getting out the door fed, everything packed up,

57
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 3: you know things, get the bottles for the baby, and

58
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 3: get the lunch, and don't forget the water bottle, not

59
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: that water bottle, the new water bottle, not that Yoda one,

60
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: the Yoda one that's metal, not plastic water bottle. Anyway,

61
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: and it's every day is different. Today we got there

62
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: like thirty minutes late, you know whatever. It's after spring break.

63
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: But on Friday, I booked myself a ninety minute deep

64
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: tissue massage in a ninety minute facial because the skin

65
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: has been just looking haggard. And I was so excited

66
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: plus the new Cowboy Carter album jopped, and I made

67
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: sure I booked the nice spot that's like a little

68
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: like I don't know, like a thirty minute drive away,

69
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: and I thought, ooh, I'll listen to one half on

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: the way there, because you know the album time is

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: like one minute, one hour and seventeen minutes. Yes, I

72
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: had to be sure I could squeeze it in. And

73
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: then on the way back I listened and maybe I

74
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: listened to it during I don't know. I was gonna

75
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: vibe and it was going to be such an amazing day.

76
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: Drop off the baby drop off. Rio walk up to

77
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: the door and they were like, oh, ma'am, is he

78
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 3: here for no, there's no school today. It's good Friday

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: and we're in a Catholic church and it's closed, so

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: you could take your adorable son and good luck too. Yeah,

81
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: And I was devastated, and Rio and sweet Rio, He's like, Mommy,

82
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 3: don't be sad. I go to your massage. I could go,

83
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: And I'm like, you could if it was like a

84
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: thirty minute massage, but I can't. It was going to

85
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: be a three hour, you know, minimum experience. I can't.

86
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: There's not enough YouTube in the world to keep him.

87
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: And I also didn't want that to be his day,

88
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: just like ugh, and then I wouldn't be able to

89
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: really relax. So the whole day was fudged, but we

90
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 3: ended up going It was every every hour, so I

91
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 3: just wanted to cry. Also, I was out like three

92
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: hundred dollars because yeah, yeah, because I canceled like forty

93
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: five minutes before and there. It's just what a disaster.

94
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: I keep getting the emails like, how would you rate

95
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: our services? I'm like, the services I did not get,

96
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: but that I paid for it's great. But anyway, so

97
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: and I was so frustrated because I didn't get to

98
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: really listen to Beyonce the new album Cowboy Carter until

99
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: the next morning. But it has been because I wanted

100
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 3: to be alone, like in peace, you know, and rio

101
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 3: is just anyway. But I finally did and I'd be

102
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: listening to it non stop. It's been the soundtrack to

103

00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: I'm so grateful to be living in the time of Beyonce.

157
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like everybody who came up

158
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: in the eighties, like in their twenties and really got

159
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: to be there for the Michael era, you know what

160
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: I mean, the Michael Jackson era and the Prince era.

161
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: And people keep saying that, oh, she's our generations, Michael

162
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: and Prince and all that, and I do and Tina Turner,

163
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: which is, yes, totally fair, but we are so fortunate

164
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: because she is so healthy that I don't think she's

165
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: gonna die, like at a very young age, Like she's

166
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: not going to ode. And I'm just like, in the

167
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: body of work, we all know, like there were the

168
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: classic albums from these artists and they were huge and

169
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 3: they were the soundtrack of a generation. But I feel

170
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 3: like she's the soundtrack of like two generations now because

171
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 3: she still keeps putting out incredible bodies of work, like.

172
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: ABC Easier Jackson. This is true, you know, Michael's right,

173
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: Michael's like, hola, hold on, I'm gonna let you cook.

174
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: But okay, in his last couple of albums like where

175
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 3: are they giving.

176
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: For a no no no no, but think about you

177
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: have to think from from ABC all the way too

178
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: bad like that, you know, and that's when he was

179
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: like fully grown but you I mean, he gave you

180
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: thriller which had like every single one was the number one,

181
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm not saying obviously Beyonce is amazing,

182
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: But what I am saying is that like, yes, that

183
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: like and similar to Beyonce, because one day we'll be

184
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: looking back and being like Wall, whoa Wall. Don't forget

185
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: Danky's child, right, she was a child. She so we

186
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: got to see her. You know, we haven't even seen her.

187
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: I don't think at her peak. But okay, so so

188
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: far the three songs that make me say yes, obviously

189
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: we have to stand for Jolene. Okay, Joline. First of all,

190
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: what I love about Joelne is that she said play

191
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: with somebody else, because if you listen to the Dolly

192
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: Parton version, nothing like Dolly Parton's version, very beautiful obviously,

193
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: but in that version, like Dolly Parton is saying, please

194
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: don't steal my man, and Beyonce said, girl, pick somebody

195
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: off before. I think, coming from a space of like,

196
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, for your own good, you know, like don't

197
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: waste your time. She said, don't don't come from my

198
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: man because we're not we're not pleading, we're not asking.

199
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: It's happening like do you want to I'm still a

200
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: creole from Louisiana. Okay, So she said, yeah, you don't

201
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: want you don't want none of this, so that I

202
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: loved the intonation. But plus, Joline is just like iconic,

203
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: like Dollie obviously iconic. And then also to Miley. Miley

204
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: Cyrus did a version which was also really beautiful. But

205
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: Miley Cyrus's version was very like the.

206
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: Same lyricism to the original.

207
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: You know, you know, but but no, Beyonce said, oh no,

208
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: we're actually not asking. You could just see her bat

209
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: in hand, like, yeah, did you hear what I said? Jolie,

210
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: come here if you want.

211
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: Julie, Julie. I love the beginning where it's like like

212
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: the echoes Jolie, and not only that, but the sequel

213
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: to Joline Daughter right after that, like I don't know

214
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 3: if you listen to that enough. But I did not

215
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: run to Joline because I figured it would just be

216
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: a remake. And then I heard Blackbird, which is beautiful,

217
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: but I was like ready for the original music. So

218
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 3: but then when I went to I'm like, oh, it

219
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: is an original Joline.

220
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

221
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: And then the Daughter after that the sequel where like

222
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: she goes and Jolene tries it and then we find

223
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: out what happens to her and daughter and okay, but

224
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: keep going.

225
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: So you love Joline, no, no, And so my favorite,

226
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: hands down is Blackbird. Okay singing then the Dead, I'm not, Well,

227
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I love that song prior, but I

228
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: take these Broken Wings and learned the fly. First of all,

229
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: it's really mournful and beautiful, but then I learned the history.

230
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I just always liked that song.

231
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: I never knew this either.

232
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: Yes, like so for those who don't know the history.

233
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: So it was written by palmerccartney of the Beatles, and

234
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: he wrote it wrote it during the sixties when all

235
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: the racial unheaval was at It's like, I mean, we've

236
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: had our peaks since then, but it was really like

237
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: at a at a fever pitch you know, he was

238
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: watching you know, people being hosed down, people being attacked

239
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: by dogs. You know, like when everything was publicized, not

240
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: publicized on everything was on TV, you got to really

241
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: see what it looked like to be black fighting for

242
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: your right, you know, rights in America. And so as

243
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: a musician, like so many musicians, he wanted to express

244
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: how he was feeling, but also to do something in

245
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: solidarity with and so he said, I'm going to write

246
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: this song and he called it black Bird. Black obviously

247
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,359
Speaker 1: in in tribute to black people, but bird was a

248
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: it was like just like a slang for what they

249
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: call girls in Europe and England or whatever, and so

250
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: not not a the derogatory slang, but just like you know,

251
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: that's like you know how like because when we say

252
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: bird now it means like I.

253
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: Mean, you're like, yeah, it's because it doesn't in her song,

254
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: which seemed like yes.

255
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: But you know, but is using it the way we

256
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: use it like modern you know, because if you're a

257
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: bird now that means basically the word bird now comes

258
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: from the chickenhead, like your chickenhead, like you're but back

259
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: then bird was just like a girl.

260
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

261
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: So anyway, so Blackbird because he wouldn't have used the

262
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: word bird. It was disrespectful.

263
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: It wasn't and it was supposed to beel like a

264
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: quiet protest or like a solidarity, which is so beautiful.

265
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: So singing it but not really knowing it was a yes, and.

266
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: So I just love that. Like so like the first

267
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: couple of lines, blackbird singing in the dead of night,

268
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life,

269
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: you were only waiting for this moment to arise. Blackbirds

270
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: singing in the dead of night, Take these sunken nies

271
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: and learn to see all your life. You were only

272
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: waiting for this moment to be free, or this moment

273
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: to be And so it's just so beautiful. It's just

274
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: like and so Beyonce stayed very close to like, you know,

275
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: the underlying like melody. And what I love is that

276
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: she had four other black country singers on this record

277
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: with her and they just it's just it's beautiful, it's haunting,

278
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: it's beautiful. It's hands down, I probably listened to That's

279
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: already fifty times already. It's my favorites thus far on

280
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: the album, just because when I listened to it, actually

281
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: like it tears me up knowing that like the origin

282
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: and who she's really singing it for, so it's more

283
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: than just the song, it's like the meaning behind us.

284
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: So that is hands down right now my favorite, just

285
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: because of the meaning behind it, and it also it's

286
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: just beautifully.

287
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: Sund And you know, that's another one where I was like,

288
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 3: I listened to the first verse and I'm like, oh,

289
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 3: that's pretty, pretty, pretty skip because I didn't hear the

290
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: other women because they have their own verses. Just I

291
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: was like, so eager to get to the new stuff anyway,

292
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: but yes, going back, it is an exquisite song, and

293
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 3: to hear those other voices, what a beautiful way. She's

294
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: just like always chef's kiss, like let me actually get

295
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: some black. It's like her nod to the up and

296
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: comers who are who are who were here doing the

297
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: thing before Beyonce, you know, because she could overshadow by

298
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: just she is the sun, right so she could outshine

299
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: a lot, but she doesn't choose to. She's like, let

300
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: me take my son and shine on y'all, which I

301
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: think is such an element of her power and why

302
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 3: she's so amazing.

303
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: But also to like the fact that she chose that song,

304
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: like especially in the time.

305
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: Like now yeah she got it's.

306
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: Still yeah, it's still a protest song, like no, you know,

307
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: just yes exactly. So so what about you? So what

308
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: is another what's one that made you say, wait a minute,

309
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: wait a minute.

310
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: Okay, So American Requiem the first track, girl, this, I

311
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: just this is not what you guys. You didn't come

00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: to be a fam You didn't come to brand ambition

313
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: for a Beyonce like to go through every single track

314
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 3: you can listen to.

315
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do every single track, but we gotta give.

316
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 3: Say I have I could have a master's degree in

317
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 3: her music, and like American Requiem is like me too exquisite.

318
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 3: So layered the lyrics, the name of the song requiem,

319
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 3: you know, something that you would perform and sing at

320
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: a burial, a ceremonial sort of song, and the fact

321
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 3: that it's a can requiem and some of the lyrics

322
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 3: like the big ideas are buried here, and just the

323
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 3: haunting like quality of her voice and the way that

324
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: she uses her instrument in so many different ways is

325
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 3: just so exquisite. And to have that be the entry

326
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: way she's saying so much she's sang so much with

327
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 3: that song. It's like it's it's laying the foundation for

328
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 3: the rest of the record, like can you hear me?

329
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: Will you stand with me? It's time to face the wind,

330
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 3: It's time to stop playing pretend like it's time to

331
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 3: like embrace the good. And also for those who like

332
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: she actually answers people who did not want her to

333
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: go into country, who said when she went on the

334
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: Cmas with the Chicks back when she had Daddy lessens out,

335
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: said like, what are you doing here? What are you doing?

336
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: And why are you here? Like this, You're not you're

338
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 3: you're not country. And she's like, well, let me remind

339
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: you who I am, Like let me educate y'all. And

340
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: where I come from. I love that, like Louisiana, Alabama,

341
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: like the creole. Yes, why didn't you say the daughter

342
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: of a moonshiner, granddaughter of a moonshe They.

343
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: Said that girl the way.

344
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: She want way back in the history of books.

345
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: That part when she opens with that part and the

346
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: lines after that, it's like that of a moonshiner. She

347
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: talks about Georgia, but she said something else. They I

348
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: have to look it up because I was hollowing when

349
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: I tell you I was. I took like a two

350
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: hour walk just so I can listen. Yeah, I mean, I

351
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: know we were in the street like I'm gonna need

352
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: you to I was like girl by somebody else, but

353
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: I live in a black neighborhood.

354
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 3: So they weren't. Yes anyway, Oh so good. And then

355
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: the end of the album Amen, like it's just she

356
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 3: and it sounds just it really gave me and I

357
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 3: read later, I read the press release from Parkwood, which

358
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: I don't think they've really given a press release about

359
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 3: an album where Beyonce is being interviewed and actually shares

360
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 3: the making of the album, like some of the back

361
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 3: behind the scenes. But she was inspired by all these

362
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 3: old Western films and the way the album is like

363
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: it starts and ends with that same sound. It very

364
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 3: much was giving. Like if you watch any old films

365
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 3: from the fifties, like even Bambi, like my son Loves Bambi,

366
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 3: they start with this big, like like very like orchestral

367
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: sort of opening and it's sort of mirrors at the end,

368
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: and it just the whole thing was like very seepy,

369
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 3: a toned and like just stunning. So I love that song.

370
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,360
Speaker 3: I love there's too many. I love Levi's jeans. I

371
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: love them. Yeah, yeah alone it's so sixties.

372
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: You know. I've heard of him, you know, but I

373
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: never really got to his music.

374
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: Said he's saying, what did he sing at the super Bowl?

375
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: Was it America the beautiful? Or was it the whole beautiful?

376
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: Was it the band or I don't know. He's saying

377
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 3: something he does.

378
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Levi's I say, let me other postings to

379
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: post support.

380
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 3: But like, uh, river Dance, which I love that Beyonce

381
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 3: is still she's so exquisite, so but she can she

382
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: does ratchet like no one else, and she does sexy

383
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: like I mean, I feel like river Dance and even

384
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 3: Levi's a little bit. Those were like the drunken loves

385
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: it really and I even felt like some of these

386
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 3: the sounds that she used, a way that she sang

387
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: was very like reminiscent of her Lemonade era and just

388
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 3: giving us like so many different genres. I mean, I

389
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 3: feel like there was rock, of course, there was country,

390
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 3: but there was still soul, there were still RB and B,

391
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 3: there was still she gave us Opera and daughter yeah.

392
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Opera Girls was going up. Apparently the aria

393
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: that she sung in that song is from a book

394
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: of like arias that if you are going to learn opera,

395
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: your opera singer, your opera teacher is going to give

396
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: you this like top twenty five book of books of aria,

397
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: and that is the aria that almost everyone starts with.

398
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: And I forget the meaning behind that aria, but like

399
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: the Opera Girls were gagging, honey, they were all over

400
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: the ticks and the talks and the id giving us

401
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: all the tea. Just so you know this is intentional.

402
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: It was yeah, Beyonce, I just girl, okay.

403
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 3: And then Protector of course Lulla by such a sweet song.

404
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. Uh. You know. It's funny with these albums,

405
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 3: with Renaissance and now with Cowboy Carter. I listened to

406
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: them all the way through. They're so beautiful listening together,

407
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: and I don't know the names of the songs while

408
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 3: I'm listening to them, so sometimes I'm like, what is

00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 3: but I think I've listened to them enough to recognize.

411
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: But Riverdance yeah yeah, oh my not Bodyguard six and

00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 3: a little bit of that, like kind of Western rock style.

464
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 3: I would be so here for a rock album, you know. Yeah,

465
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: she's too good. I don't know how.

466
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: I just she's peerless. Want to collect. Let's be wrong.

467
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: Beyonce is peerless. She is one of points zero zero

468
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: zero zero zero one.

469
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.

470
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: And she is a student of music and of her

471
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: art and her craft.

472
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: Yep.

473
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: And it is a joy to watch her create and share.

474
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: Yeah and so and she literally, if we're going to

475
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: bring it back to the brown ambition of it all,

476
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: she shifts economies with the choices that she makes. Like, honestly,

477
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: I remember that dinner. I don't know if you remember

478
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: that time. Not that time that Oprah was being sued

479
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: by the beef industry.

480
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because what she brought.

481
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: Up because she she said no, she said something like, oh,

482
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't eat meat anymore, whatever, and then meat meat

483
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: stocks plummeting or something, or meet sales plummeted, and they

484
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: sued her because they said that her voice is so powerful.

485
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: If she says the thing, it's going to affect the market.

486
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, she ended up not being found not guilty

487
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: because it's like, well, I mean I say lots of stuff.

488
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't like she said don't buy that

489
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: stock and so that was just but.

490
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 4: It just goes to show that, you know, there are

491
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 4: some people who the power is so strong that they

492
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 4: literally can shift in economic cycle.

493
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: They can literally sell out. It's not just about selling

494
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: out concert tours in this point, you know. Yeah, I

495
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: mean I'm telling Swift. We've seen this with her too,

496
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: right that like certain things, it's like, Yo, Beyonce puts

497
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: it out and we're buying cowboy hats and boots and Levi's.

498
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: If you're going on tour sists, we're going to be red,

499
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: going to be hockey stop it.

500
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 3: And you want to and you'd want to take your

501
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 3: time with it, you know. And having now in my

502
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 3: third week of owning the Sacred Line, her hair care line,

503
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 3: and being so like, if she sells it, I'm sorry,

504
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: I want to buy it, like I because the care

505
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 3: and even while I was doing the it makes me

506
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: slow down. The Sacred Hair care Line because it's very

507
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 3: like things take twenty minutes and I understand, And a

508
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 3: lot of it is called the ritual, the sacred this,

509
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 3: and I'm like, this is like a sacred ritual taking

510
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 3: care of my hair, which I haven't felt in a while.

511
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 3: Like she makes me feel better and to and the

512
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 3: music and the experiences as well. It makes us like

513
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 3: slow put thought into something the way that she puts

514
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 3: thought into every single thing that she does publicly, which

515
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 3: might be like a little I don't know, that's just

516
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 3: that's how I feel like. You want to, like, you

517
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: don't want to show up to be in her presence,

518
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 3: even if she'll never see you not being at your

519
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: because she gives you that right, she gives you that perfection.

520
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 3: You want to like match that exactly.

521
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: Hey, be a fan. We're going to take a quick

522
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: break and we'll be right back.

523
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 3: I want to know when the hell is the Renaissance

525
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,080

526
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 3: too much, and I'm so desperate to see it. Did

00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 3: you ever see it in theaters?

528
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: No? Because I don't say it was a really crazy

529
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: time during that time.

530
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yep, we'll be reading this bed time story

531
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: tonight to be a little Golden book of the Beyonce Book. Yeah,

532
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: how are you texting? Is its? No?

533
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm just like, you know, when you're when you're renovating,

534
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: Like I told the pain there painted this. I'm like,

535
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: that's not the collar.

536
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 3: It's like, did you give him his hoodie back? Hate? Yes?

537
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, Antonio, we have this amazing painter. He's great.

538
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: But well, one I one day, I was like, we

539
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: both wore a black hoodie one day and I wore

540
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: his all the way home, like what is this? And

541
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: it was not my hoodie because Antonio's is not very

542
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: man on the shorter side.

543
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 3: But also it's so good.

544
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: It just goes to show you that through your passion

545
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: and your excellence and your joy that it also there

546
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: is an economic whether it's you being a really great teacher,

547
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, there's an economic impact for bringing your full self.

548
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: So let's just say, like, let's just say in the

549
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: case of a teacher, if I'm this really awesome teacher,

550
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, and I do such a good job that

551
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: I spark interest in my kids like that I teach,

552
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: they can go on to do things that will then

553
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: make this world better, whether they're a doctor or whatever.

554
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: You know what I mean that, Like I think that

555
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, all things intermingle, you know what I mean?

556
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: And certainly, like maybe Beyonce, you know, hundreds of millions

557
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: of dollars, but who's to say that your impact as

558
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: a teacher is also not hundreds of millions of dollars

559
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: because of the hundreds of students that you've taught in

560
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: your lifetime, if not thousands, and just a handful of

561
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: them shaping the way the world comes comes to be.

562
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.

563
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: And it's just like but like or like you might

564
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: be a salesperson, you know, like at like a foot locker,

565
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, well, what how do I shape you know,

566
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: what happens economically? Well, that's not true because if you're

567
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: really passionate knowledge that knowledgeable about like say a certain

568
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: pair of sneakers, you can literally start a trend in

569
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,239
Speaker 1: that store, and then that trend takes off and all

570
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,199
Speaker 1: of a sudden, we're all wearing like sambas. But it

571
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: really started in this one store in Detroit because there's

572
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,719
Speaker 1: one really passionate, you know person you know working at

573
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: foot lockers. So I just like it just is fascinating

574
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: to me, like what joy and excellence and focus can

575
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: bring not just in your life personally, but there's an

576
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: economic ripple, like you know, like no matter where you are,

577
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: you can ripple.

578
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: You know, I would like just even half of one ripple,

579
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 3: Like okay, yes, well they have right now. I feel

580
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: like a startup owner, a startup founder who's like, please

581
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 3: invest in my business. I need thirty million dollars. I

582
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: have one billion dollars in debt. We are stars are

583
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 3: never profitable for like twenty years or something. That's what

584
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 3: it's like.

585
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: Big, Like you know, you don't know what your baby's

586
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: gonna cost and your.

587
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: Baby's baby baby big.

588
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,959
Speaker 1: That big no no, but I love that though, just

589
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: like yeah, we just don't know because look, I think

590
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: think about like how many women that you've helped right

591
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: negotiate and make more money?

592
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Like if you think about absolutely, yeah.

593
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, like your dad and mom

594
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: being you know who they are, for you created a

595
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: Mandy that comes out into the world and says, I'm

596
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna help Mandy's money makers. And we don't know some

597
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: of the women that you've helped whose children they're raising. Yeah,

598
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like the kids, Like, you know,

599
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: I didn't have enough money, but now my kid I

600
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: have enough for them to take violin lessons, only to

601
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: find out twenty years later they're like this violin prodigy

602
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: that and you might not ever know that, but you

603
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: played a role because you helped her. And so isn't

604
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: that such a beautiful thing that like when you go

605
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: out and you do the thing, you know that you're

606
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: here to do. You know, you might not know, but

Speaker 1: to do amazing work like we might.

612
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 3: That's a really good grounding thought, just to like if

613
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 3: you're wondering, if you're feeling like overwhelmed, the thing is

614
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: you have to do just like do the thing and

615
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,960

Speaker 3: but yes, just have faith in doing that thing and

617
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 3: putting good out into the world. Yeah, like Lady b Oh,

618
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: I love her.

619
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: Should we take a break or do have some more things?

620
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: I know we had other things to chat expect.

621
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 3: Mostly on we didn't want to talk about beyond sady war. Okay, fine,

622
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 3: oh okay, So brown boost or not brown Boost? Sorry, buzzworthy, buzzword.

623
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: This is a part of the show, or we try

624
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 3: to come up with some you know, useful information from

625
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: the headlines. Let's see, California fast food workers are now

626
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: make you twenty dollars an hour.

627
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: But they're getting also let go.

628
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 3: Did you see. I'm not surprised. Yeah, fast food workers

629
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 3: in California at chains with more than sixty national locations

630
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 3: now earned twenty dollars an hour. Yeah, but they're getting

631
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: let go. Like, so, how are they getting around it?

632
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: Because they still need workers for their stores, right. Some

633
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 3: affected chains have.

634
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: Responded, No, I think I saw somewhere that they're automated.

635
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: They're leaning into AI and automation. I've gone to somewhere

636
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: ye where it's like you literally order your thing there

637
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: and there's maybe one perserver in the back that makes

638
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: the food and fringshakeshack.

639
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. Some affected chains have responded to the wage

640
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 3: hike by slashing their workforces and hiking their medu prices.

641
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 3: Pizza chains like Papa John's Pizza Hut, laid off drivers, McDonald's,

642
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: wigs Op, Chipotle are going to pass on the higher

643
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: labor costs to their customers by making their menu items

644
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:11,959
Speaker 3: more expensive. Listen, inflation is still inflation. This is literally

645
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: inflation at work. You know, wages go up, which is great,

646
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: but then the cost of goods can also go up.

647
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 3: So if you like these restaurants, better hope that you're

648
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 3: also getting a raise to keep affording yikes. The other

649
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 3: sort of side of inflation, the inflation conversation has been,

650
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 3: now that the Fed is getting involved and they've been

651
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 3: slowly decreasing rates, do they do their first rate decrease yet?

652
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: I forget they're going to or they they would be Anyway,

653
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 3: all sides are pourting toward twenty twenty four being the

654
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: year when rates start to come down the federal FED rate,

655
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 3: So mortgage prices are indirectly tied to that rate, right,

656
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 3: and mortgage rates have been super high, like seven percent.

657
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: Although they have gone down some, they've come which I think.

658
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't know about the Fed rate, but I know mortgage.

659
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they did lower it. So anyhow, I

660
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 3: read this article that was talking about Okay, so if

661
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 3: we can expect rates to go down in twenty twenty four.

662
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 3: Should people who were interested in buying a home but

663
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 3: have been holding back, like me, for example, because of

664
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: how high rates are, like advising people to go ahead

665
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 3: and get a house and then you can refinance when

666
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 3: rates do fall, which I was like, oh, that makes sense,

667
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 3: But then I'm thinking, well, we're kind of trying to

668
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 3: predict the future of markets, which is one you make

669
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: if you want to be right, then just if you

670
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 3: want to be wrong, trying to predict what any market

671
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 3: or rates are going to be doing. It's how I feel,

672
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 3: And it's a really expensive like bet to make because

673
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 3: a six percent interest rate, how long could it take

674
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: to get back down to the two point four percent

675
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 3: that it was? I don't think that's what I refined

676
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 3: last time. Yeah, it's And not only that, but I

677
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 3: bought my house at twenty eighteen. I refinanced at twenty

678
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 3: twenty one, so that was a three years I was

679
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: paying that higher like four percent rate.

680
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 1: Like, which is a great rate.

681
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was lucky the timing, but I mean, yeah,

682
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 3: so I just I went from being like, oh, yeah,

683
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 3: maybe I should just go ahead and buy to like,

684
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 3: oh wait, maybe don't like, maybe just base something on

685
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 3: your own ability and your desire to buy something. Their

686
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 3: rationale was that when rates do start to go down,

687
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 3: people will start flooding the market, and like home prices

688
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 3: could go up as a result. But again, trying to

689
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: time the housing market, it's so difficult to do. I

690
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 3: got lucky once. I don't know if luck's going to

691
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 3: happen twice for me in terms of my timing when

692
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: buying a house. But if y'all are like me, stuck

693
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 3: in a starter home and bursting at the seams, I

694
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 3: really really feel your pain. How many bedrooms it's a

695
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 3: very cute three bedroom, two and a half bath and

696
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 3: well actually two yeah, two and to a half baths.

697
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 3: It's a yeah, it literally is a starter home in

698
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 3: a neighborhood full of them, and uh, yeah, we are.

699
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 3: I've actually started to just pack things away, like just

700
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 3: pack up things that we don't need anymore, but we

701
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 3: don't want to get rid of because I was getting

702
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 3: rid of so much stuff, and I'm like, this stuff

703
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 3: is good, Like I don't want to just but I

704
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 3: don't have the space for this. So yeah, I've I've

705
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 3: been pretending like we're going to pack up and move.

706
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 3: I just don't know when or where, and that's kind

707
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 3: of helping. But yeah, the stuff, it's a constant battle

708
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 3: against stuff in this house.

709
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of people who are in the

710
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: starter home stuck right now, who who got great rates

711
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: and they're.

712
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: Like, ah, yeah, I don't want to go my rate.

713
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: But at the same time, yeah, you know, like we

714
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: want something bigger, but homes are only getting more and

715
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,280
Speaker 1: more expensive, and then rates are also. It's a really

716
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: difficult time. It used to be like, oh, it's so

717
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: great for buyers, but that means it's terrible for sellers,

718
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: or it's so great for sellers and it's terrible for buyers.

719
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: And what you just see now is like it's hard

720
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: for very mindy right now everybody, you know. Sellers are like,

721
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose lose my rate, and the

722
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: buyers are like, yeah, I can't afford it even if

723
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: you do, like you know, unless you're gonna assume someone's

724
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: a loan. Yeah, it's something a tricky financial.

725
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 3: Time right now, very tricky. Well, you're listening to the

726
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 3: right podcast if you want somehow it's going to be true.

727
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I just will just you know, sometimes it's

728
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 3: like it's harder to make financial choices when you don't

729
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: have some kind of huge event that forces you to

730
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 3: make a decision, Like you get a new job at

731
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 3: a different state. Well that I got to do something,

732
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 3: you know, Like just those situations are they may not

733
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 3: happen when you want them to, but it's a little

734
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 3: liberating when you don't really have a choice. You just

735
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 3: got to like do something. But when you have all

736
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 3: this time to think into all that, Like, I think

737
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 3: my advice is just to try, Like, following the herd

738
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 3: is rarely the right financial decision at all. And if

739
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 3: you're buying the house or play the log gabe anyway,

740
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 3: so just continue to play that log gabe and I

741
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: would not follow. I would not follow this advice right now,

742
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 3: even though I almost did for five seconds. I'll keep waiting.

743
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 3: I'm so congested. Do I sound like curb it?

744
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: Oh? You're all right?

745
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 3: Okay, tis the season for allergies, y'all.

746
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 1: I know I'm not gonna lie. My eyes are burning

747
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: right now, if I'm being all the way honest, Like

748
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: it's it's cherry blossom's season, which is beautiful, but then

749
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: it's pillen season, which is not so beautiful, but we

750
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 1: all want the bees to get their food or whatever.

751
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: So just a little update, Chiall, I remember remember last

752
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: was it last week, Mandy when I talked about the scam?

753
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,959
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, it was last week. It was your broad break,

754
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 3: I think.

755
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: Yes, So I had talked about the scam that's happening.

756
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: So the premise of the scam is people someone reaches

757
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: out to you and says, hey, do you want to

758
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: do this podcast? It's paid, it's going to happen on

759
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: Facebook Live, and you have to give me some back end,

760
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: like you have to link me back end, And like

761
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: I said, this is not uncommon because I have done

762
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: it before with larger brands, and that's exactly what it

763
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: looks like. So apparently it's this scam that they get

764
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: access to your back end and as a result of

765
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: getting access to your back end, they basically kick you

766
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: out and then now they have control of your of

767
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: your platform.

768
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

769
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: I just thought it wasn't. I knew it wasn't a

770
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: one off because I had done a Google search and

771
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: realized there was other people, but I didn't realize that

772
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: there were people who I knew, like Chessca Lee on

773
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: she's a big YouTuber back in the day and she's

774
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: the actress now and writer and such. She shared how

775
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: it happened to her and a bunch of her other friends.

776
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 1: So they're going after people with large Facebook So they're

777
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 1: going after not just people with large Facebook followings, people

778
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 1: with large Facebook followings who also do speaking engagements and stuff,

779
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: because they know that this is not odd the request,

780
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, so if you just had a large Facebook following, again,

781
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: like that doesn't make sense you want to give you. Yeah,

782
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 1: very and it's a long game because it's weeks in

783
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: the making. They could and they don't email you directly

784
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: all Jankie, They like reach out to your management, like

785
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: they've reached out to her management team, and so you

786
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: know they're knowing, like, oh yeahvet me, everything's great, child.

787
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: It is so thankfully for her and like for me,

788
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: you know, it just didn't work because the link wasn't working.

789
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: But for her, she was able to reach out to

790
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: Facebook and she knew somebody there, Her management knew somebody

791
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: there and were able to get her her account back.

792
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 3: Oh that's lucky to get a hold of anybody at Meta.

793
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is. You know, and so I just

794
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: wanted to just like be on the look if you've

795
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: got a large anything suspicious. In general, this is what

796
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: I've learned. I remember, like, this is not my first

797
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: roadio at the scam. Y'all know, I've been scammed many

798
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: of times, but I remember there was one scam in

799
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: particular when I was in college where I was going

800
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: on Craigslist looking for babysitting jobs and tutoring jobs. You know,

801
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: it was semi safe back then. I don't even know child,

802
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: but either way, I found a couple of them and

803
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: they were fine, and then one I got one strange

804
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: one where it was like, hey, he said his name

805
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: was Bob or some you know, nondescript name, and I

806
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: want you to tutor my daughter. And I said sure.

807
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: He said, I'm going to send you the money up front.

808
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: I was like, all, I say less. He said, but

809
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to send you more than you need because

810
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: something about his bank account whatever, and can I send

811
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: him back the rest? And I was like huh. He

812
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: said yes, Like, let's just say that I was going

813
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: to tutor and it was five hundred dollars. He was

814
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: going to send me a thousand, like a money order

815
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: or a check for a thousand dollars. I was to

816
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: deposit it and then send him back the rest. And

817
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: I was like, that isn't Why would I like, why

818
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: not just send me the five hundred And he was

819
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: like no, I forget why he said, so anyway, I

820
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: just said huh. So we went to the I went

821
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 1: to the bank to ask them like, is this real

822
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: because and at the time it was still so new

823
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: the scam. The bank actually took the check and looked

824
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 1: through it and they were like, yeah, this is a

825
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: real check, you know. And I still was like, I

826
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: was like, huh okay. They're like, still if you got

827
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: it from some of you don't know, be mindful, like

828
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 1: you know, if you deposit it and you spend the money,

829
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: it's on you. So I still didn't sit well with me.

830
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: So I had told Bob to call me. He said

831
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 1: he was from Thailand. That's why he had to send

832
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: me the money in this way for whatever reason. And

833
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: he told Bob. So Bob told me. I said, you know, Bob, fine,

834
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'll do this, but I want to talk

835
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: to you on the phone. He said, okay, no, say less.

836
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: And this is how I caught Bob.

837
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 3: Time you really like. I was like, shot, yeah, because

838
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 3: you know what it.

839
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: Is at the time when you're broke, You're like, child,

840
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: let this be real. I could use the phone, so

841
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: Bob said, let's get on a call. So immediately the

842
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: phone rings, you know, and I didn't even look at

843
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 1: the phone. I picked up said hello, and I heard hello.

844
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: Can I speak to Tiffany? And instantly I was like,

845
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: which one of my uncles is? Because I didn't because

846
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: I I can spind a mile away, how would I

847
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: look at the phone? I was like, hello, uncle? Which

848
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: uncle said? He said, no, no, this is not well.

849
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: This is all I said. From Thailand? He said yes.

850
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, Nigerian, I can tell you an accent.

851
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 1: I said, I myself Nigerian as well. You was like,

852
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: oh no, I said, you should be ashamed of yourself.

853
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: Shamed of yourself. I pulled out the full accent. Oh,

854
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: and that's when I was like, oh, my countryman, what

855
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: are we doing out here? It wasn't bottom Thailand. That

856
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: was cheenaidoo from ladies okay, from Abuja.

857
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 3: Nagians are like, first of all, I feel like behind

858
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 3: so many successful like when you just black excellence in

859
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 3: Nigeria just go hand in hand, like y'all.

860
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: Just I don't know what I was about to say, huh,

861
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: why are they behind sobody scams?

862
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 3: But also you have these high heights, you know, like

863
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 3: so many incredible business people and successful people, like I

864
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 3: associate Nigerian's with like success and you're all like very impressive.

865
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, well, here's what, like my

866
00:42:57,800 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: dad told me. I asked him that, I said, and

867
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: it's not a regular scams. It's like these elaborate whatever scams,

868
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, because how do he even get the check

869
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: or the money order to be real? Only to like

870
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: because what happens is the bank finally figured out that

871
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: it was all alive. And what would happen is you

872
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: would put the money order in the account and then

873
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: it would at first clear and then you would get

874
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: the money back and then it wouldn't clear, so then

875
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: you'd be on the hook for the money you gave

876
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: back plus the money that you spent. So I don't

877
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: even know how they figure that out. So when I

878
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: asked my dad, I asked that question. I said, Daddy,

879
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: why you know Nigerians, you know, if they did the

880
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: study and that they're at least in America, the most

881
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: educated population in America. So about doctors, masters, etc. I said,

882
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 1: why is it that so many Nigerians, well, so many

883
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: scams are attributed to Nigerian's Like what is that? He said, Well,

884
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: in Nigeria, just like in America, education is first, second,

885
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: and third. So you have and I've seen that, Like

886
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: I have little cousins who farmed, but I have their doctorate,

887
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 1: you know. He said, So you get all these highly,

888
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 1: highly highly educated people with no access to upper mobility.

889
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 1: So here I am a doctor and I'm farming, you know.

890
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 1: And so what do you do with all this intelligence?

891
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: What do people do when they're really poor? Not everyone,

892
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: but oftentimes when people are really poor and there's no

893
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: access to any upper mobility, then you resort to a

894
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: life of crime. Now, maybe if you're uneducated, you might

895
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: knock somebody over the head and steal their purse. But

896
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: if you're like Chiah, I got all these smarts. Let

897
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: me get on this computer and get to scam. So

898
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: that's what you get. You have basically a Nigeria. Unfortunately

899
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: the government has not done a very good job looking

900
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: after its people. So you have really smart, educated motivated

901
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 1: people with no access to be able to support themselves

902
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: in their family. And I'm not saying it's right, but

903
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying this is why the scams a right like

904
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: this kind of level. Okay, it is because they're like,

905
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to put my smarts toward yes to this

906
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: intricate So because my dad told me one time, like

907
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: you might apply there might be a job where there's

908
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: fifty fifty positions open. Nigeria is also most the most

909
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: populated country in Nigeria, and so let's just say it's

910
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: in America, there's fifty positions open at a job and

911
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: five hundred, maybe even five thousand apply. In Nigeria, you're

912
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 1: looking at fifty thousand applicants for a fifty person slot.

913
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: There's just nothing or you'll get you'll be a teacher

914
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: or policeman. You won't have gotten paid for three or

915
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: four months.

916
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 3: So what do you do?

917
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: Do you quit? And then maybe this is you finally

918
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: get your retroactive paid next month and now you don't

919
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: get the money. So anyway, I'm just saying there's not

920
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: I'm not making excuses, just explaining, according to my father,

921
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: why some of the scams from Nigeria end up being

922
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: like these high tech, high level scams. It's because you know,

923
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: you get the population of people with no access to

924
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: to money and food and things like this, and and

925
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: then but you have all this education and you're like, child,

926
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this one way to the other and

927
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: I'm leaving here with some I'm from around the way.

928
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 3: I think that it's very helpful to understand it that

929
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 3: way too.

930
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 1: But I just say, if you ever get a call

931
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 1: from Bob and a Nigerian accent.

932
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 3: From Thailand Nigerian, I couldn't believe it.

933
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: I said, Sah, you're not from Thailand.

934
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 3: My friend reels is like, Nigerians don't insult to you.

958
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 3: So my friend Amelia, friend of the show, Amelia has

959
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 3: been doubt holding us down as part of the original

960
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 3: BA faners. She sent me a message because Amelia is

961
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 3: a marathon runner and also a sports writer, like a

962
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 3: health and fitness writer, and she's working on a book Amelia.

963
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 3: But she sent me a message because I don't know

964
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 3: if you remember, but last year the Boston Marathon is

965
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 3: coming up this April. Right, last year, the best Boston

966
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 3: Marathon is like the marathon if you like to run,

967
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 3: it's really hard to qualify for Only the best of

968
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 3: the best get through, et cetera. Last year, I mean,

969
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 3: you know, we know Boston's history, it's not exactly like

970
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 3: there's a lot of issues right in terms of like

971
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 3: inequities and the way that minorities are treated. Last year

972
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 3: at the Boston Marathon, there were there was an incident

973
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 3: where this crowd of spectators, you know, people lined the

974
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 3: course and they cheer on their runners or whatever. There

975
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 3: was a group of black and brown spectators who were

976
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 3: really cheering on some runners very loudly, like excitedly cheering

977
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 3: them on. And the police I don't know if they

978
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 3: arrested them, but they definitely like stopped them. The police

979
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 3: pulled them aside and made it stop. They were like

980
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 3: they just got all over them. And it's one of

981
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 3: those things that policing a black joy is so like pervasive,

982
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,240
Speaker 3: Like you have a cookout and it's a black cookout,

983
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 3: all of a sudden you get noise complaints. Like I

984
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 3: don't know if you recall a Fantasia Burno. She came

985
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 3: out with a story about how she had done a

986
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 3: birthday party for her little boy and his friends at

987
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 3: like a beautiful Airbnb kind of thing and they had

988
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 3: all these noise complaints just because the boys were outside

989
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 3: playing and being boys.

990
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 1: Ag.

991
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Boston Marathon, uh, And my friend texted or

992
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 3: sent me this message because they the Boston Marathon, they

993
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 3: apologized to the police just this year. They issued they

994
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 3: made an agreement because the police were so livid, like

995
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 3: whatever the police used in the police institution, they were

996
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 3: so livid, and I guess they hold so much like power,

997
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 3: like without their participation, Yeah, right, Boston, Without their participation,

998
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 3: it would make it really hard for the marathon to

999
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 3: keep going. So they issued an apology to the police.

1000
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 3: And my friend Amelia says, yeah, the Boston at Boston

1001
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 3: Athletic Association has apologized, apologized to the police rather than

1002
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 3: the affected community the whole thing. And Amelia has been

1003
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 3: working toward Boston forever and that was her first year

1004
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 3: running it. It was such a long time goal for

1005
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 3: me to qualify, especially because I know that there's a

1006
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 3: lack of representation. Amelia is a Peruvian And then she

1007
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 3: sent me I'll send a couple of links to and

1008
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 3: put them in the group chat about the Boston Marathon.

1009
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 3: But to then, it was a run club. My run

1010
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 3: club was profiled for cheering while while black. So to

1011
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 3: that run club in Boston, you know, I hope that

1012
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 3: they haven't stopped, but they're called the Pioneers Run Crew.

1013
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's so.

1014
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: Sad because I'm not gonna lie. Even when I'm like

1015
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: in a restaurant, like I'll be like, you know, because

1016
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: I've got quite the voice that carries and I'll be

1017
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: like huh, and then some of my friends are like

1018
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: tiviny Tiffany. But then it'll be like a table of

1019
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: like you know, white girls, like yes, said, I was

1020
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: at a type place and they were so loud, but honestly,

1021
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: joyously it was like a f and I thought to myself, well,

1022
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: why can't I exprest, like you know what I mean,

1023
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: Like why it I'm like everyone here is laughing, yeah,

1024
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: but the black girl laughs and it's an issue. It's like, oh,

1025
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: the table, not the table that's cussing if us and

1026
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: next to me having an issue. Honestly, it's really really frustrating.

1027
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 1: And then you end up policing yourself, like, well, let

1028
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 1: me not be too joyful or joyous, because I don't

1029
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 1: want anyone to say even though they're freaking loud over

1030
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: there talking about what she did last night, you know

1031
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: so much so I can hear him, yeah, you know.

1032
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: And so like that happens a lot, especially like being

1033
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: out in public spaces, you know, where your joy is

1034
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: supposed to be expressed.

1035
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just being able and knowing that you can

1036
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 3: be celebrating the wrong way apparently, can you imagine. And

1037
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: then for the police to be apologized to I just

1038
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 3: feel like it was a huge letdown for that running club.

1039
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 3: And so thanks to Amelia for bringing that to our attention.

1040
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 3: And yeah, America, America, I know, what is it? Like?

1041
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: The American dream is living in America? Those T shirts?

1042
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 3: Can we bring it back to the Beyonce album? I

1043
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 3: mean another half an hour?

1044
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: Okay, So this is I guess it's this is kind

1045
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: of like a boosty breaking. So I'm reading this book

1046
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 1: called ten Next is easier than to it?

1047
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, you sent me that book.

1048
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: Yes, it's very good. I recommend it to anybody. Is

1049
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: especially here's the thing. It's going to be hard to

1050
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: take action if you're not an entrepreneur, because some of

1051
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: the things require like you to have the flexibility of

1052
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur. But it's still really good either way. But

1053
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: it's specifically written for business owners to like maximize the

1054
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 1: way they navigate their time, their energy, their talents or whatever.

1055
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 1: So one of the parts of the book, so this

1056
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: author due well Dan Sullivan, and I forget the other

1057
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: guy's name, they've written a couple books together, who who

1058
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: not how, But also they've written this book called Gap,

1059
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: the Gap and the Game, And so there's a part

1060
00:52:58,400 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: of the book. So I don't know if this is

1061
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: a book break, but I guess it's both because they

1062
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: talk about how you view things versus the gap and

1063
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 1: the game really affects how happy, how satisfied it you

1064
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: get burnt out and I realized how much I was

1065
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 1: living in the gap. And I'll explain to you what

1066
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: the gap in the game is and how that's one

1067
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: of the things they try to reframe for you in

1068
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 1: the book that's going to help you one not be overwhelmed,

1069
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: not be overworked, but also work more joyfully. And so

1070
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: when you live in the gap, that is when you

1071
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: compare where you are now to whatever your goal is,

1072
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: whatever your your you know, your ideal goal is like, ah, man,

1073
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: i want to be ten million dollars a year, I'm eight,

1074
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,840
Speaker 1: where there's a gap of two million. Oh man, I

1075
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: want to be you know, I wanted my hair to

1076
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: be shoulder length, but it's only earlength. There's a gap,

1077
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: you know, like whatever that is. You're always comparing where

1078
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: you are to where you want to be, and a

1079
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: lot of entrepreneurs and just people in general navigating the

1080
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: gap because we believe that the gap is what drives

1081
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 1: us forward, like go go, go more, more and more.

1082
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 1: I could do it. I could do it. But what

1083
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 1: it does is that it leads you constantly dissatisfied with

1084
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: yourself because what happens is inevitably you do close that gap,

1085
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:09,880
Speaker 1: your hair grows, you make that money, you know, you

1086
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: get that dress or whatever it is, and then what

1087
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 1: happens is that the goalpost moves and you're like, oh

1088
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,280
Speaker 1: what before I remember me making one hundred thousand dollars

1089
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: in a year was like one of my biggest goals.

1090
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know what I got to do.

1091
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and now if I make that only in

1092
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: a month, I'm talking about gross business. I'd be at

1093
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: a business, yeah, you know, And I'm like, oh, you know,

1094
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: what used to be like less than ten years ago,

1095
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 1: was like that if I could just do this, And

1096
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 1: now I'm like, I better do better than that. So anyway,

1097
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 1: that's the gap. And like I and oftentimes, if you're

1098
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: living in a gap in business, you're likely living in

1099
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: a gap at work, living in a gap with your partner,

1100
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: living the gap with your kids. Like how many when

1101
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 1: I taught preschool, how many parents came to me like, oh,

1102
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: my son does not speaking like I thought. You know,

1103
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: she's not walking, she's holding thispoon in this way. That's

1104
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: living in the gap. This is where they're supposed to be.

1105
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: They're here now. What they try to reframe is to

1106
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: practice living in the game. So instead, you're supposed to

1107
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 1: use the ideal as inspiration, not a measuring stick, because

1108
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: you will never live up to whatever that thing is.

1109
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: It's just supposed to inspire you to keep going. But

1110
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 1: if you live in the game, you only compare yourself

1111
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: to your past self. So like, wow, Tiffany, ten years ago,

1112
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: you want to make one hundred thousand dollars in a year.

1113
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 1: Now you make multiple hundreds of thousands in a month.

1114
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,959
Speaker 1: Look how far you've come, Wow, Tiffany, or like wow,

1115
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,320
Speaker 1: look at my kid. I know that there is speech

1116
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: delay and we're getting him to the place. But literally,

1117
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 1: just six months ago, baby boy wasn't saying anything, and

1118
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: now he's saying mama and data. That's huge, you know,

1119
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: like that's huge, or like wow, like you know a

1120
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: minute ago, like I didn't even have a business, you know,

1121
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 1: like I worked in corporate. Now I took this idea

1122
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: from my head and it's like it's like here and

1123
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: like living and breathing, you know, like this business is

1124
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: out into the world, and so living from the game

1125
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: keeps you motivated, keeps you joyful, keeps you grateful. And

1126
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 1: so it was just something that I just wanted to share.

1127
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's a boost a break.

1128
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of like boos half and half because part

1129
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: of me realize how much I was living in the gap,

1130
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: and like I want to stick it on my wall somewhere,

1131
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 1: Like Tiffany, what is the gain component? Because I'm always

1132
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 1: comparing myself to like where I think I ought to be,

1133
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: and it's and I tell myself, no, no, no, it's

1134
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: true when I make this twenty million, No, no, no,

1135
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: it's true. When I make thirty million, it's like, well,

1136
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: you've made all the other like leaps before, and you're

1137
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: still not satisfied. And so I'm really, really really going

1138
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: to really try my best to reframe me every time

1139
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: and be like, you know what, what's the gain here?

1140
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 1: Where were you five months ago, five years ago? Where

1141
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: were you?

1142
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 3: You know, like, and all that's two million? Bring more joy?

1143
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 3: And is that what you're after? Are you after the

1144
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 3: more joy or the dollar signs?

1145
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1146
00:56:57,880 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 3: I'm trying to be as happy as I pop. I'm

1147
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 3: trying to create. Like when I think about my little

1148
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 3: starter home and I really tell myself, like, we have

1149
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 3: such a happy little family in this little house. We

1150
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 3: don't need a bigger home to be happier. We need

1151
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 3: a bigger home for like, it's not a bigger home

1152
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 3: is not going to fix like any like relationship issues

1153
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 3: we may have or certainly not like you know rio

1154
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,400
Speaker 3: speech delay, which is basically gone now he's doing so good, uh,

1155
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 3: which is like come on anyway, Yeah, but how are

1156
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 3: you how how much joy can you feel in your

1157
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 3: little container? And then everything else? Yeah, it doesn't mean

1158
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 3: that you don't you stop striving at least for me,

1159
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 3: for more and all that for better. But at the

1160
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 3: end of the day, I know that I was just

1161
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 3: as happy here, and I'll be just as happy if

1162
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 3: I end up back here, you know. So that's a

1163
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 3: really beautiful message that I wouldn't have expected from a

1164
00:57:59,080 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 3: book with that title.

1165
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's yeah, Because I thought the book was going

1166
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: to be about like go, go, go more and more,

1167
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 1: it's actually about less less less truthfully, yeah, I suggest it, Yeah, no,

1168
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: but meaning like less as in like that. The premise

1169
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: of the book is that like when you get really

1170
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: good at like your thing, and you really teach yourself

1171
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: how to focus, you actually end up doing less and

1172
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: gaining more. So so he gives this example of like

1173
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: driving a car. Remember when we first started driving, girl,

1174
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,480
Speaker 1: I was like the mirror, the other mirror, My hands

1175
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: are here, the gas right, Because when you're when you

1176
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: are inexperience, you're using so much energy just to go

1177
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: from here to wherever you're going. But what happens with

1178
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: time and experience and mastery. Girl, Sometimes I get home,

1179
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,479
Speaker 1: I'm like, how did I get home? Barely using any

1180
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: mental strength? Like I could literally be thinking of a

1181
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,720
Speaker 1: whole business plan while I'm driving because I'm on autopilot

1182
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: with like the mental strength. And so that's what ten

1183
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: ex is easier than two x that It's like, if

1184
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: you can harness your mental strength and mastery and focus,

1185
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: you actually will use less of it, you know, in

1186
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: order to get from here to where you want to

1187
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 1: get to. So it's like, how do you do that?

1188
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: How do you go from an inexperienced driver to an

1189
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: experienced driver because it's easier driving when your experience and

1190
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: so that's what he talks about that, like you know,

1191
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, you know, I'm just for me.

1192
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm in search of how do I you know, I

1193
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: want to of course I want to be successful, but

1194
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: in a way that it does not drain me, Like

1195
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: in a way that doesn't require like, ugh, I'm so

1196
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: beat up. I don't want to do this anymore. And

1197
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: so like I don't want to do because I've hit

1198
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: some huge numbers, but it costs nearly everything, and I

1199
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. Like as I kind of

1200
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: rebuild what I'm doing in business and things like that,

1201
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: I want to I want to build in ease and

1202
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: comfort and rest and recovery, and I want to be

1203
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: intentional about it and so yeah, so, like I said,

1204
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: the book is ten X is greater than two X,

1205
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: and I think I might like like read the gap

1206
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: in the game after this is all said and done,

1207
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:09,439
Speaker 1: just to like really cement that Reframe is its own book. Yes,

1208
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: that's its own book. Although they talk about a lot

1209
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: in this book because it's the same two authors, so

1210
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: they wrote this book together. And I would suggest that

1211
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 1: do the audio book because in between chapters they have

1212
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 1: a mini podcast almost, so they'll like finish the chapter

1213
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: and then the two authors will kind of like shoot

1214
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: the breeze about what the chapter is about. How so

1215
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 1: you're not going to get that in the book. So

1216
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: if you get the physical book, I definitely recommend the

1217
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: audio just for that. Those nuggets and the like fifteen

1218
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: twenty minutes in between are really amazing in the audio.

1219
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 1: We you know, Amandy, we need to have a brown

1220
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: Ambition Amazon store, do we, Yeah, meaning like so that

1221
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: way we could put like books that we're reading. So
