Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey.
Speaker 2: We're back.
Speaker 3: We're round and Bishop and musition, edition and ambition.
Speaker 2: We need to get our breaks checked. We're a little
Speaker 2: squeaky today. I'm here, tell me about a baby. What's
Speaker 2: going on, honey, But nothing.
Speaker 3: It's just the last few days, you know, we've been,
Speaker 3: you know, doing this partnership with my friend Terry, with
Speaker 3: her her Friday masterclass. Are investing today's I mean, by
Speaker 3: the time, y'all hear this is too late, but.
Speaker 2: Y'all because you know how those partnerships can be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no's we know, you know, but it's just, you know,
Speaker 3: it's just been a lot of work and then low
Speaker 3: key hockey.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they might listen.
Speaker 3: My my what's called a company reached out to me
Speaker 3: today about like another book. Everybody like, yeah, by publisher,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, go sit down up with the world.
Speaker 2: Book came out in an ocean book.
Speaker 3: I'm not doing nobody's book because they could hopefully they
Speaker 3: could just could count as a notice.
Speaker 2: You know, I can write the whole thing. I'd be
Speaker 2: a ghost writer for you.
Speaker 3: No, because it's not the writing of the book part
Speaker 3: is the easiest part, girl, It's the marketing part that's
Speaker 3: why they don't tell you, and so like they're like, ooh,
Speaker 3: even they were asking because oftentimes you'll have a book
Speaker 3: when it's a hardcover, you know, you eventually make a
Speaker 3: transition into softcover. So that's a conversation they want to have.
Speaker 3: But truthfully, you only do that when the book sales
Speaker 3: are waiting. But like, honestly, we just sold eight hundred
Speaker 3: copies last week, like nine hundred a week before twenty
Speaker 3: five hundred a week.
Speaker 1: You sold eight eight hundred copies last week.
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, so we're still selling so amazing. You're
Speaker 2: selling more than like a first like most author sell.
Speaker 2: So I'm just like.
Speaker 3: Usually I'm just like, I don't know that it's ready
Speaker 3: for paperback, because usually you do that as like to
Speaker 3: reinvigorate the book.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that. I mean I always imagine like
Speaker 2: a year after a book comes out, but yours has
Speaker 2: been out for well you did the worst book, but
Speaker 2: yeah three years now. It's like, yeah, well usually they
Speaker 2: do the paperbacks are more affordable, yes, So for that,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: They usually say that the reason why is because that's
Speaker 3: why they like to bring it out, because they're like, oh,
Speaker 3: people are not buying it. Maybe it's the price, but
Speaker 3: it's like, well, that's how true. It's it's hell pretty
Speaker 3: steady in about thousand sales give or take a week.
Speaker 3: And so I'm just kind of like, but also if
Speaker 3: you do a paperback, that's another push.
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm yeah.
Speaker 1: The marketing required.
Speaker 2: I don't have.
Speaker 1: It in me.
Speaker 2: You got other stuff to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm just like, we just try to save
Speaker 1: this company job like y'all know, I'm you.
Speaker 3: Know, we are this is the year. I mean, we
Speaker 3: are stable. Yeah yeah, But I'm just like, so just
Speaker 3: all the things. I mean, there's a lot of changes happening,
Speaker 3: but good changes. I feel good about it. It's just
Speaker 3: a little overwhelming. Oh yea, let me do that one.
Speaker 3: Need that, you know what, just a nice sometime.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do the nose reach up to the sky and
Speaker 2: let that ship go. Yes.
Speaker 1: Well, all in all, things are going really well. It's
Speaker 1: just a lot of work.
Speaker 2: Breathe, baby, breathe, that's all I can do. I don't
Speaker 2: know whether it's the weather, my meds like, it's probably
Speaker 2: the weather in the fact that I've been I moved
Speaker 2: so much this week and I did so much activity,
Speaker 2: but I just was really feeling I'm feeling optimistic. I'm
Speaker 2: finally getting through the fog. And just of the first
Speaker 2: the first you know, quarter of twenty twenty four kicked
Speaker 2: my ace. But yeah, things are feeling good. Mental health
Speaker 2: check is is great. And if one of the things
Speaker 2: that brought me so much doy is that I evicted
Speaker 2: my boys from my bathtub, I took it back. It's
Speaker 2: like they have a whole bathroom upstairs that's just collecting dust.
Speaker 2: You know. It's like the bathroom where my husband will
Speaker 2: go when he wants to, you know, like flow up.
Speaker 2: That's all it is. You know, it's like the it's
Speaker 2: the clean dust and poop. Uh Ever, anyway, well, if
Speaker 2: you're lucky, you have a poop bathroom. Yeah. And our
Speaker 2: bathtub has really become like the kids. It has everything
Speaker 2: we have, Like I wanted to make the Battip funds.
Speaker 2: We have like a whole march, like a marble run
Speaker 2: for water, suction cup to the wall, and all these
Speaker 2: toys and no om my got so many monster trucks
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. But I just unsuction cupped everything. I said,
Speaker 2: I said, Rio, we're filling up a big tub. You
Speaker 2: got to pack a box. We got to go, and
Speaker 2: he actually got excited because he got to choose where
Speaker 2: stuff went on the wall in the new bathroom. And
Speaker 2: his new shower has a detachable shower head, so you
Speaker 2: know that's going to be a mess, but small baby steps.
Speaker 2: We planted some flowers yesterday. There was park play, lots
Speaker 2: of walking. I really wanted to call you this morning
Speaker 2: and I was like, no, no, no, no, no, save it
Speaker 2: for the podcast. What happened, Well, I had like this
Speaker 2: interesting interaction with a dad at Rio's pre k, and
Speaker 2: I was really feeling like, anyway, I'll tell you what
Speaker 2: it is, because I want to get your tank on it.
Speaker 2: My husband was like, he's like, girl, run away. This
Speaker 2: feels very He's like, don't catfish. Just feels very weird.
Speaker 2: But so anyway, dropping Rio off today at his pre
Speaker 2: k and you always see the other parents. We're at
Speaker 2: the door of shame where you have to go if
Speaker 2: you come in after nine, which we do every day,
Speaker 2: and you got to call and they gotta be like, okay,
Speaker 2: we're coming anyway. So him and his daughter were there.
Speaker 2: I was the daughter was so cute. I usually just
Speaker 2: have a big smile whenever I see the kids and
Speaker 2: they're just like that lady with the hair always smiles
Speaker 2: at me, so she was whatever we were vibing. I
Speaker 2: go to the back to the car. I got the
Speaker 2: baby in the car and I kind of hear him
Speaker 2: approaching me sort of. And I get in the car
Speaker 2: and I see him and he's looking at me like, oh,
Speaker 2: never mind, and I just rolled the window down. I
Speaker 2: was like, oh no, what is it. And he just
Speaker 2: walked up and it's the strangest thing. It's a black guy.
Speaker 2: He's like, my name is we'll call him Terrence. So
Speaker 2: my name is Terrence. And he just looks so like down,
Speaker 2: just down, and he said, I see you're wearing a
Speaker 2: wedding ring. And I was like, oh my god, what
Speaker 2: is he gonna You know, I'm just like, oh, I
Speaker 2: didn't look like this, and I'm just saying I was
Speaker 2: like wow anyway, But he was like, I'm really struggling
Speaker 2: in my marriage. I wanted to know what he's like.
Speaker 2: This miserable, this is it's it's making me the worst
Speaker 2: version of myself. I can't sleep at night. He seemed
Speaker 2: it was very sincere, and he was like opening up,
Speaker 2: but at the same time, I'm thinking, to me, like
Speaker 2: a complete stranger, just based on the fact that I
Speaker 2: have a wedding ring on. And I was like, and
Speaker 2: you know, I think I see his eyes kind of
Speaker 2: getting misty. And I if it had been someone that
Speaker 2: I even a little bit knew, what I would have
Speaker 2: done is get out the car, give him a hug,
Speaker 2: just offer, like you need a hug. But I had that,
Speaker 2: and I was like, hmm, but I did. I showed
Speaker 2: him the attached book that you and I, you know,
Speaker 2: I have talked about, and I told him like, it
Speaker 2: sounds like maybe talking to a therapist, because he had
Speaker 2: like a he had a Caribbean accent, maybe Jamaican. And
Speaker 2: he said that he was so desperate to just talk
Speaker 2: to somebody because he kind of is isolated in his
Speaker 2: family and friendsh they all know each other and stuff.
Speaker 2: And he's like, I don't have anyone I can talk
Speaker 2: to who's not a family member or someone who knows
Speaker 2: us already. And anyway, I was like, better help use
Speaker 2: Cobron ambition for ten percent. I didn't say that, but
Speaker 2: I was like, you know, therapy would be great just
Speaker 2: for you, and it was. Yeah, it was just so
Speaker 2: bizarre and part of me is like I wish, you know,
Speaker 2: why don't we just chat to people sometimes if you're
Speaker 2: having a hard time, you know. I think in that moment,
Speaker 2: he was probably just desperate, yeah, for someone to just
Speaker 2: hear him and reaching out for help. And I hope
Speaker 2: he does see a therapist. But it left me feeling
Speaker 2: like just really sorry for him, really sad for him,
Speaker 2: but also like, oh, that was a human interaction that
Speaker 2: I don't get to have all the time. But then
Speaker 2: Enrique said it was probably a whole like bait and
Speaker 2: switch thing, and like, I don't know what to think
Speaker 2: about it. If I see him again, I don't know
Speaker 2: what to do. I'm gonna see him again, and we're
Speaker 2: always the door of shame together. It's one of two things.
Speaker 3: He was trying to do, a pre holler, you know,
Speaker 3: like hey, I see what you're I'm just said, let
Speaker 3: me see can I be toodled in your bosom?
Speaker 2: Let's see how she can both co miserate?
Speaker 3: Yes, right, So IT'SI the pre holler, like let me
Speaker 3: test the waters or this is somebody really that was
Speaker 3: like really struggling, And.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if you've ever been in
Speaker 3: a position where the emotion is so to the top
Speaker 3: that you know, all like kids just cry, you know,
Speaker 3: like you know, I'm sad. You know, Rio is gonna
Speaker 3: be like I'm gonna drop down to get my egolong,
Speaker 3: I'm crying and whatever. In the moment I feel it,
Speaker 3: but after the you're like, I'm gonna wait till I
Speaker 3: get to my car, and sometimes repress. It is so
Speaker 3: there I can remember distinctly, like, for example, I went
Speaker 3: to the DMV after Jerrell passed away. You have thirty
Speaker 3: days to switch the card of their name so you
Speaker 3: can get insurance or whatever.
Speaker 2: And it was like day twenty eight and.
Speaker 1: I go to the DMV and they're like, you know,
Speaker 1: you know how it is when you at the one.
Speaker 2: I'm already stressed, just thinking, yeah, that interaction, but especially
Speaker 2: the Jersey one.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, yeah, I'm trying to hold it together,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm hean you to switch the car and
Speaker 3: my husband then, you know, and she's like why, and
Speaker 3: I just said he died and just she actually came
Speaker 3: out of her.
Speaker 1: Boot around and gave me up because I you know.
Speaker 2: What I mean.
Speaker 3: So I'm just saying that sometimes it could be that
Speaker 3: he was so full of like I am at my
Speaker 3: wits end. I don't have any She seemed like nice,
Speaker 3: probably just because you smiled and you it's like I
Speaker 3: need something, you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And so that's what it sounds like. I mean, I'm
Speaker 3: more inclined to think that. But men, I always you know,
Speaker 3: men are up to shananigans.
Speaker 2: I'm going to choose to be on that. I want
Speaker 2: to choose to that side.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it sounds like and it's just I'm so
Speaker 3: glad that you gave him the book.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I hope you suggested therapy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean, obviously it's nothing. I mean, I
Speaker 2: hadn't have my coffee yet. I was like, that's the
Speaker 2: first thing I said to him. When he got finished.
Speaker 2: I was like, I have not even had any coffee yet.
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna do my past because I feel like
Speaker 2: you need it.
Speaker 3: Hey, ba fan, We're gonna take a quick break and
Speaker 3: we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And that's such a beautiful story about the woman
Speaker 2: at the dB DMV. I had a recent experience. I
Speaker 2: don't know if I told you. When I came back
Speaker 2: from one of my trips to Atlanta for my dad.
Speaker 2: Me and Remy were at the Atlanta airport. Which listen,
Speaker 2: y'all talk a lot of shit about Atl's airport. I actually,
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's like the emotional connection I
Speaker 2: have so many I just love that airport. I think
Speaker 2: it's very efficient. I think the train is, you know,
Speaker 2: bar none to any other airport I've been in. Getting
Speaker 2: you to your gate airports are huge. You ever been
Speaker 2: to Minneapolis. You to walk to FN miles just to
Speaker 2: get from the from the check into my gate area, Like,
Speaker 2: where's the train, where's my transportation? Anyway? But anyway, so
Speaker 2: I get through, I get I had had a rotten
Speaker 2: interaction I'll just say rotten with a Delta gate Delta
Speaker 2: agent who was like checking the baby stuff. And by
Speaker 2: the time I got to Now, I have been throughout
Speaker 2: this at airport like many times over the past six months,
Speaker 2: and I always go to the family Assist line and
Speaker 2: just just so happens that this young woman ah and
Speaker 2: I can't remember her name because I'm a piece of garbage,
Speaker 2: but she's a door she's a young black woman. She
Speaker 2: works in TSA, but she's studying at Emory to be
Speaker 2: a gynecologist. And I know this about her because I've
Speaker 2: seen her so many times. And anyway, the last time
Speaker 2: I went through, she wasn't my girl because I went
Speaker 2: She's usually there in the morning. I had flown at night,
Speaker 2: so I didn't see her. But this time, and you know,
Speaker 2: like when you're really like, I'm trying to hold it
Speaker 2: together as I'm in line, but I'm feeling all these feelings.
Speaker 2: It's very early by the time I get to the
Speaker 2: area where they're like, put your thing in a bin. No,
Speaker 2: not that bin, No, take that out. Da da da
Speaker 2: da da. Like I started to I was like, you know,
Speaker 2: like I was. I was starting to cry. It was happening,
Speaker 2: and I was like there, no, I couldn't wipe anything.
Speaker 2: I had the baby. My hands were tied, and the
Speaker 2: lady with the bit by the bit was just like
Speaker 2: go ahead, you know, really just trying to give me
Speaker 2: my privacy. But also I'm crying in front of rely strangers.
Speaker 2: But then who was on the other side but my
Speaker 2: but my bestie at the Atlanta airport and the Family
Speaker 2: Assist line, and she just saw me. I saw her,
Speaker 2: and she says, I got a chair for you right here.
Speaker 2: What's going on? I've never seen you this way though.
Speaker 2: She talked to me like we had been friends since childhood,
Speaker 2: and I was and I just sat in that chair.
Speaker 2: She gave me a hug, and she just let me
Speaker 2: sat and collect me sit and collecting myself, and it
Speaker 2: just didn't matter what anyone else thought about me in
Speaker 2: that moment. But and just if you're you know, and
Speaker 2: that's that's such a that's happened to me for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that moment comes to mind. And if you've been the
Speaker 2: one who needed that kind of person, or you've been
Speaker 2: that person for someone, for the random person struggling, it's
Speaker 2: a beautiful thing.
Speaker 3: So thinks it's just to like reach out and just
Speaker 3: like because you know, like at the end of the day,
Speaker 3: we're all humans, and you know, like I mean, there
Speaker 3: has been a time or two where I've seen, like,
Speaker 3: especially some young woman crying, and I'm like, you know,
Speaker 3: I was at the park door, my park walk. It
Speaker 3: was a young Latino woman. She was just like sitting
Speaker 3: on this park bench. She's like eighteen nineteen. I think
Speaker 3: she had a suitcase. She was like hysterically crying. So
Speaker 3: I walked past her. Then I stopped and I was like,
Speaker 3: I feel like I can't just leave this young woman
Speaker 3: here crying, and so I said, are you okay? But
Speaker 3: I realized she didn't speak any English, So I was like, lord,
Speaker 3: what is my broken Spanish?
Speaker 2: I was like, are you the you know tennis? You know?
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was like, because I was nervous. My first mind,
Speaker 3: I thought to myself, she's a beautiful young girl. And
Speaker 3: I thought to myself, a beautiful young girl crying in
Speaker 3: the park. I don't want some man to come take
Speaker 3: advantage of her, you know. I'm I sat with her
Speaker 3: for a little while, with my broken Spanish to try
Speaker 3: to figure out what's happening.
Speaker 1: She didn't really share. I just sat with her for
Speaker 1: a little while to see.
Speaker 2: Do you need a ride?
Speaker 3: Do you need because you just hope that somebody will
Speaker 3: be there, you know, when you need to like, you know.
Speaker 3: But yeah, So I'm just glad that he, at least
Speaker 3: for a moment, had a reprieve and now you weren't like.
Speaker 2: Get away from me stranger's anger, because that would have
Speaker 2: been really disheartening way sometimes as a woman. But in
Speaker 2: the context, I just saw him with the daughter. She's
Speaker 2: very cute, it's very well cared for. You know, it
Speaker 2: had been if it had been two am at the park,
Speaker 2: probably a different story. Also, why would I be there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's true. People with kids always get like,
Speaker 3: that's what they tell kids. It's like the number one
Speaker 3: they think.
Speaker 2: They say.
Speaker 3: They're like, if you are lost or whatever, look for
Speaker 3: a mom with a kid, because because the likelihood is
Speaker 3: that you're gonna mama bay of him. Come sit next
Speaker 3: to you, baby, because we're gonna find your mama. We're
Speaker 3: gonna you know, like that that you're probably safest with
Speaker 3: a mom with I mean, of course, you can never
Speaker 3: never know for sure, but you're probably safest with the mom.
Speaker 2: Having lived in the suburbs for a while, I will say,
Speaker 2: I think there's some moms who are waiting to be
Speaker 2: that hero, Like they can't wait. It's like they're just
Speaker 2: looking for lost kids, but they want to find them.
Speaker 2: I don't know, is just thought. But yeah, So what
Speaker 2: what else is going on in the world? Businesses really good.
Speaker 3: I have been making really hard business decisions. So I
Speaker 3: so here is an unlock and maybe this will help
Speaker 3: somebody with business or their career or whatever. I realized
Speaker 3: I was carrying around this this thought process that for
Speaker 3: the first time I realized that's not true, like that
Speaker 3: I believe that in order for you to have I'm
Speaker 3: trying to think that conflict not conflict. What was the
Speaker 3: word I use that confrontation. I don't know how I
Speaker 3: had like a perfect phrase for it, but basically that
Speaker 3: when you had to confront someone that it had to
Speaker 3: have conflict.
Speaker 2: I mean like I might say.
Speaker 3: Like, you know, Mandy, hey, you hurt my feelings, but
Speaker 3: it always had to be like, Mandy, you really hurt
Speaker 3: my feelings. I didn't like that because sometimes confrontation and
Speaker 3: I don't know if confrontation is the right world, because
Speaker 3: I feel like inherently in confrontation there's this kind of
Speaker 3: conflict baked in. But then in a hard conversation had
Speaker 3: to be had that there always had to kind of
Speaker 3: like bueness underlying of negativity, you know, not that you're
Speaker 3: yelling or screaming, but like it couldn't be had softly,
Speaker 3: or or like it couldn't be had almost joyfully.
Speaker 2: Or you know, they would be like really a gress
Speaker 2: and yes, and so be really defensive.
Speaker 3: And so it always made me say I didn't want
Speaker 3: to do it because I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't want.
Speaker 3: And so most recently I've been having to have in
Speaker 3: business some really hard conversations and and they've all been
Speaker 3: someone like a friend of mine was like, so, for example,
Speaker 3: my I have this the guy who cuts my my lawn.
Speaker 3: His name is Louis is super nice. So it's been winter,
Speaker 3: you know, Louis wasn't here. Louis came back and if
Speaker 3: you've you've been to my front lawn, Mandy.
Speaker 2: To call it a lawn, why does he cut? You
Speaker 2: can't girls.
Speaker 1: So Lewis came and then sent me like this text
Speaker 1: like oh one fifty.
Speaker 2: I said, oh my god.
Speaker 3: So I was really upset because before Lewis used to
Speaker 3: charge me for one cut I mean yes, and I said,
Speaker 3: he said for clean up and cut.
Speaker 2: So he texted to me, we need roman to get
Speaker 2: a lawnmower girl.
Speaker 3: So I was really mad. So I'm ranting a raven,
Speaker 3: not to Louis but to everybody else. I told my
Speaker 3: because my friend Cabral suggested Louis to me. My other friend,
Speaker 3: I was telling everybody.
Speaker 2: Like, okay, you believe it, oh lord, And.
Speaker 3: Cabraw was like, well, why not just tell Louis that's
Speaker 3: too much money. You don't want to pay that. And
Speaker 3: I was like, I am, but I'm gonna have to
Speaker 3: tell him, hey, you tried it, because in my mind,
Speaker 3: when someone does something to you, there has to be
Speaker 3: this kind of like conflicting conference, because that's how just
Speaker 3: how I grew up, that's just how it looks like.
Speaker 3: And so I avoided it, avoided avoided it because Louis
Speaker 3: had called me to see can I come clean? Can
Speaker 3: I come cut your grass? I didn't answer. He called me,
Speaker 3: I didn't answer. He ranged the door, but I didn't answer,
Speaker 3: and he cut it anyway. So you know, I was
Speaker 3: extra piss like you cut it and now.
Speaker 2: You try to overcow.
Speaker 3: So I was already and then I forgot to text
Speaker 3: him to say I ain't paying it. And so a
Speaker 3: week later, here come Lewis outside again. So Cabra was like, Tiffany,
Speaker 3: Louis is really chill. I promise you you're the only
Speaker 3: ones dressed. So I said, you know what, I am
Speaker 3: going to try to say the thing without confrontation. I said, hey, Louis,
Speaker 3: I know you came last week and you said one
Speaker 3: fifty for cleanup.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I hardly have any grass. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: a fair price.
Speaker 3: Also too, whatever price he was trying to charge me,
Speaker 3: I said, I don't think that this is a fair price.
Speaker 2: I don't want to spend.
Speaker 3: More than thirty dollars per cut, you know, cause I
Speaker 3: feel like that's fair and that's front and back.
Speaker 2: And Louis wrote back, okay.
Speaker 3: I was like, wait what I was like, I said, no,
Speaker 3: thirty dollars to cut the front of the lawn in
Speaker 3: the back, you know, like to blow the leads whatever
Speaker 3: in the back.
Speaker 2: He said, okay, yeah, And I thought, Tiffany, it.
Speaker 3: Was like an eye opening moment where I had thought
Speaker 3: to myself it had to be this like headbudding, and
Speaker 3: it's like, no, you can say a thing. So that's
Speaker 3: a confrontation if you will, but it doesn't have to
Speaker 3: be one that is filled in righte with conflict and
Speaker 3: that I took that energy with Lewis saying okay, and
Speaker 3: I had this difficult a series of difficult conversations that
Speaker 3: basically the response too was oh okay.
Speaker 2: And I was like, wait a minute, have I been
Speaker 2: doing life wrong? So we all know? And I can't
Speaker 2: wait for you to forget this lesson, as we all do,
Speaker 2: and to have to remind yourself of it a couple
Speaker 2: of years from now. Yeah, So it's hard being a
Speaker 2: human you choose to be around other humans. WHYDA wonder?
Speaker 2: I got it? What could I stop? She's just laughed.
Speaker 2: She was like, girl, never made it.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's just ongoing.
Speaker 2: She's like I.
Speaker 3: But honestly, it was such a freeing lesson because, like
Speaker 3: I said, I just grew up in a household where
Speaker 3: conflict was like the name of the game, honey. So
Speaker 3: such a freeing lesson that you know, you can say
Speaker 3: the thing without any underlying like like not that I
Speaker 3: have underlying aggression, but not you could say the thing
Speaker 3: with the expectation that someone's gonna receive it peacefully and.
Speaker 2: Gonna respond peacefully.
Speaker 3: And so like you, you could do that, Tiffany. And
Speaker 3: so I've been doing that. And when I tell you,
Speaker 3: I've had some hard like conver stations in business, like
Speaker 3: downsize and conversations in business and that's not easy, and
Speaker 3: it's been met with okay, and I'm like, wait, what
Speaker 3: you know? And so I've just yeah, I just hope
Speaker 3: that that's a lesson that someone can kind of absorb,
Speaker 3: which is that it is possible to have the hard conversation.
Speaker 3: Some of you knew this, are note this is already Batten.
Speaker 3: It's possible to have the hard conversations and it not
Speaker 3: be contentious.
Speaker 2: You know, hey, be a fan. We're going to take
Speaker 2: a quick break and we'll be right back. I'm very
Speaker 2: uncomfortable because I have had a situation recently with I'll
Speaker 2: say I'm a close one and I was so confrontational
Speaker 2: when they came to me with some feedback and so
Speaker 2: and I hate it, and you know, I had been
Speaker 2: taught I have been This happened two months ago. Wish
Speaker 2: and I have been talking about it in therapy and
Speaker 2: it's and it's just been like and I've been annoyed
Speaker 2: at my therapist. I don't know if she doesn't listen.
Speaker 2: I've been annoyed because I'm like, it's still the same,
Speaker 2: nothing has been resolved. I'm like, what am I? And
Speaker 2: then last week I was like annoyed that we were
Speaker 2: just having the same conversation and I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: let me think differently about it because you're not That's like,
Speaker 2: what angle have I not what angle? Have it. It's
Speaker 2: always been like, was this person wrong to say it? What?
Speaker 2: You know? Was I wrong to do the thing? And
Speaker 2: what was the all the things? And I had argued
Speaker 2: it from so many different angles. What I hadn't said,
Speaker 2: what I hadn't like asked myself and I did last week,
Speaker 2: was but wait, why was my reaction so hot? Why
Speaker 2: was I so immediately like you know when you turn
Speaker 2: up flame on the stove? It was one of them,
Speaker 2: like and I was like a nuclear, you know, explosion,
Speaker 2: and instead of just like letting myself burn out, I
Speaker 2: responded with that feeling anyway. So I'm not about to
Speaker 2: tell you guys how I fixed it, because it's literally
Speaker 2: men a week, not even a week since I talked anyway,
Speaker 2: And I need to work on that. I need to
Speaker 2: like work on it. And it's only with people who
Speaker 2: I'm close to. And finally, and this is what's very
Speaker 2: frustrating about therapy. You have to be kind of your
Speaker 2: and I can see Lauren doing it. I wish she
Speaker 2: was more. If I was like, if you can just
Speaker 2: point exactly to where on the page you want me
Speaker 2: to read, that would be much more efficient. But she
Speaker 2: just kind of mentions things in one big you know,
Speaker 2: in one big train of like you know, stream of consciousness,
Speaker 2: and that I'm hearing her say the same thing, like, well,
Speaker 2: you do seem to like, you know, really take things.
Speaker 2: You know, you do seem to think when people give
Speaker 2: you feedback sometimes that it's about you as a person,
Speaker 2: as a wife, as a sister, as a friend, as
Speaker 2: a neighbor or whatever. And then you just like assume
Speaker 2: that they want nothing to do with you, and you
Speaker 2: take yourself away. And I'm like, yeah, well that's happened
Speaker 2: a couple times. Yeah, but that's not what's happening in
Speaker 2: these times. It has happened, but those those you know anyway,
Speaker 2: And so now I'm like, well, shit, epiphany had But
Speaker 2: how many years have I been in this girl? And
Speaker 2: I know that the therapy side like, yeah, lot, I'm tired. Lord,
Speaker 2: that's so exhausting, And it's exhausting because we're confronting it,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But it's such But because
Speaker 2: we're confronting it, we need that's gonna make it. Maybe
Speaker 2: maybe what's his name, the the lawnmower, Maybe he's been
Speaker 2: in therapy and he was able to take that feedback
Speaker 2: a lot better. Because of it. I don't want to
Speaker 2: be the reason someone is so afraid to get feedback. Yeah,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, do you mean that that breath he gave me?
Speaker 2: You need to do that. You need to do that again. Okay.
Speaker 2: And I've been trying to figure out how to talk
Speaker 2: about that. Is it such a huge, sort of like
Speaker 2: background thing happening in the past few months. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I do need some breaths. Okay, I'm figuring it out.
Speaker 2: I'm figuring that. Okay, that's all I want to know.
Speaker 2: It's all I need to know. I'm doing my best.
Speaker 2: We all are. I didn't want to bring up something
Speaker 2: because I have you seen this documentary everyone's talking about
Speaker 2: about Nickelodeon girl, I don't know if I want to
Speaker 2: talk about it quiet on set. I'm not gonna watch it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, not even a little bit. I mean a
Speaker 2: little bit. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Stuff like that just always makes me so sick. I
Speaker 3: guess because I work with kids.
Speaker 2: It's just oh yeah, okay, well what I want just
Speaker 2: for those of you, this is essay trigger warning. Okay,
Speaker 2: for sure trigger warning. The documentary is for sure trigger warning,
Speaker 2: and they have one at the beginning. It does talk
Speaker 2: about essay when it comes to minors with children, this
Speaker 2: particular instance is not necessarily about that, okay. And part
Speaker 2: of the documentary I started to w I was like,
Speaker 2: let me just see what they're talking about. And it
Speaker 2: just it hooks you because I was such a like
Speaker 2: a nick at night kid. All that was my room
Speaker 2: all the time. Yes, I wanted to dress like those kids,
Speaker 2: and I wanted to be that. I wanted to be there.
Speaker 2: And you know, I loved Amanda the Amanda Show. I
Speaker 2: loved Keenan and kel Goodburger like all that. I don't
Speaker 2: know why they had to do a single sequel, no
Speaker 2: one asked for, but anyway, so I was I was
Speaker 2: immediately drawn in. And I and to find out one
Speaker 2: of the cast members, Raquel Raquel Leelo, she was a
Speaker 2: cast member. And then she this was during the on
Speaker 2: the on the documentary she's been she talked and I
Speaker 2: she didn't mention this, but it came out in the
Speaker 2: press recently that when she was on the Amanda Show
Speaker 2: that she spoke out about how Amanda, the actress who
Speaker 2: was like, you know, she was the son of this program.
Speaker 2: She came from all that they gave her her own show.
Speaker 2: You know she was the star, and how like Amanda
Speaker 2: had spit on her during this whole segment, and how
Speaker 2: no one stopped it, no one, and it was like
Speaker 2: multiple takes. It was on the oh, this is the
Speaker 2: fifth episode of the show. And not only that, but
Speaker 2: Amanda was allegedly made to continuously spit on her every
Speaker 2: time I said spit it out. This is Raquel talking.
Speaker 2: Every time I said spit it out, she would spit
Speaker 2: what was in her mouth, water, whatever it was, indirectly
Speaker 2: in my face. The third time, I was infuriated so mad.
Speaker 2: The director hurried and put me on the side of
Speaker 2: the set and was like, listen, breathe in, breathe out.
Speaker 2: She's the star of the show. Don't make too much
Speaker 2: of a problem. I'm going to ask her not to
Speaker 2: spit in your face, but you have to keep your
Speaker 2: cool and listen. Amanda at the time was also a child. Yes,
Speaker 2: but this yes, and I just anyway, the whole really,
Speaker 2: why it's on set is extremely disturbing in a lot
Speaker 2: of ways, but just in a workplace context. The way
Speaker 2: that bad actors influence like a room and influence a set,
Speaker 2: whether that set is like a Hollywood set or it's
Speaker 2: you know, it's a conference room at a major corporation
Speaker 2: or a small corporation. Just how these toxic characters can
Speaker 2: infiltrate and then all of a sudden, everyone is like,
Speaker 2: no one's talking about it, but everyone's complicit in this abuse.
Speaker 2: And it reminded me of a book that I had
Speaker 2: recently picked up that I you know, the woman who
Speaker 2: wrote Radical Candor. What's her name? Hold On, I have
Speaker 2: the book right here. Allow me to get my book bag.
Speaker 2: It's a key book bag now, yellow Survio. It's very bright.
Speaker 2: Multiple times at day at pickup or drop off, a
Speaker 2: teacher will be like, oh, I'll take Rio's backpack. I'm like,
Speaker 2: that's mine, it's mine. Anyway, this is a book. It's
Speaker 2: called Just Work. Kim Scott that's her name. I believe
Speaker 2: she's a white woman, doesn't matter, but anyway, she wrote
Speaker 2: Just Work, Get Shipped, Done, fast and fair. This was
Speaker 2: her follow up to Radical Candor. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it went as bonkers as Radical Candor did, but I
Speaker 2: hope it does because this is such an incredible book.
Speaker 2: For it's literally written not for the people who have
Speaker 2: been well. There are instances where she's speaking to people
Speaker 2: in the workplace who have who have taken the abuse.
Speaker 2: And yes she is a white woman because she mentions
Speaker 2: that multiple times in the book, but she really examines
Speaker 2: abuse that happens, discrimination, harassment, essay, everything in a workplace,
Speaker 2: and she examines how can we what can be done
Speaker 2: so that we can just work, just work, We can
Speaker 2: just go to a workplace and just get shipped done
Speaker 2: and not have to deal with being bullied or harassed
Speaker 2: or having sexism against you. And it is extremely practical,
Speaker 2: extremely practical. I would say, if you're one who is
Speaker 2: on the receiving end of situations like Raquel, it may
Speaker 2: not listen. It's not going to be someone spitting in
Speaker 2: your face, but it may be someone who consistently takes
Speaker 2: credit for your ideas, or consistently discounts your contributions or
Speaker 2: doesn't who this is a very triggering one leaves you
Speaker 2: off an email that pertains to you, oh forgot to
Speaker 2: see see you. That kind of like small stuff. It'll
Speaker 2: give you, you know, strategies you can use to decide
Speaker 2: how to handle that. But it also like every page
Speaker 2: has sort of like a key too on like who
Speaker 2: it's for? Is it for leaders? Is it for is
Speaker 2: it for the victims? Is it for the people causing harm?
Speaker 2: So if you and listen, we're not We're all, you know,
Speaker 2: I think capable of inflicting harm against one another through bias,
Speaker 2: through prejudice, through bullying, whatever, as much as we are to, yeah,
Speaker 2: as much as we are to being on the receiving
Speaker 2: end of it. And yeah, I just I just really
Speaker 2: like this book and it reminded me of that situation
Speaker 2: and how I think quiet on set probably would not
Speaker 2: have happened had a book like well, I don't want
Speaker 2: to say that people are just evil and disgusting and
Speaker 2: you know, vile, but this is a really good book.
Speaker 2: If you have any say in you know, what leadership
Speaker 2: but your company, what kind of trainings or like education
Speaker 2: they have to get, I would be like, hey, this
Speaker 2: is a book we need. So I did it to
Speaker 2: my thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I sat through and I just read this like,
Speaker 2: I mean, read it so fast. So great book. That's all.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Are you ready to get some color back, mandra, I
Speaker 2: would like to know where it's coming from, man, because
Speaker 2: you think we're entering post winter, we're entering into this
Speaker 2: we are I was I was gardening this weekend and
Speaker 2: I did wear sunscreen. That's a thing. Do I want
Speaker 2: to be toasty and like gorgeous and wrinkly and potentially
Speaker 2: have melanoma? We're like, do I want to just say, girl,
Speaker 2: your skin color? Is your skin color? Just? Well?
Speaker 3: Question when you wear because I do wear sunscreen, you know,
Speaker 3: but does sunscreen?
Speaker 1: I guess I don't notice. Does a sunscreen mean that
Speaker 1: you actually don't tan as much?
Speaker 2: Well, that's I mean, tanning is sun damage. You know,
Speaker 2: there's no healthy level of tanning. So yes, if I
Speaker 2: am tanning with with sunscreen, basically, you know, what does
Speaker 2: the factor mean it factor fifty is like fifty percent
Speaker 2: of rays are filtered out or I don't know. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 2: don't cutting on that. I know I've read an article
Speaker 2: that's like, we think of sunscreen grade it's completely wrong.
Speaker 2: I may still be thinking of it wrong, Okay, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I still get I can still tan and burn, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not good for your skin. So I wear lots
Speaker 2: of hats, but I don't do a good job protecting
Speaker 2: my arms. So you can tell.
Speaker 1: If I was gonna say, when you put your hand up,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh.
Speaker 2: It's not the same color because you know, all my
Speaker 2: cute little makeup and stuff has that's P thirty but
Speaker 2: my Avena and my Upera four probably, which is what
Speaker 2: I'm always slathering on. Yeah, anyway, now time.
Speaker 4: To boost up, break up, boost up, break up, boost up?
Speaker 4: Break m you learning a boost? Is she going by
Speaker 4: what you're gonna do? What you're sad?
Speaker 2: You got a boost up by egg me. I feel
Speaker 2: like I do have a boost. I mean, sorry, I
Speaker 2: have a big break. Well, you know, I do a
Speaker 2: like I go first because that's a big one like
Speaker 2: little boost. So my boost well, you know, since Mannag's
Speaker 2: just hearing books and all, did I did I ever
Speaker 2: share the book ten X is easier than two X?
Speaker 2: I shared it on the podcast. Mm hmm, I will
Speaker 2: go ahead and READU because I adn't talked about it.
Speaker 1: My other boost is my condo is just about done.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: So I bought it January.
Speaker 3: I think I think I closed January February of last year,
Speaker 3: so it's been basically like a year. But I closed
Speaker 3: on it and then I rented it back to the
Speaker 3: owners for a few months and then renovations started. But
Speaker 3: I would say renovations have taken about a year, in
Speaker 3: large part because I was dragging my feet. I wasn't
Speaker 3: ready to like, you know, make the move. But now
Speaker 3: like it looks really beautiful. I literally just took my
Speaker 3: cleaning lady Ingrid there yesterday and you know she's going
Speaker 3: to clean it beautifully either this week or next week.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to move in this month because I
Speaker 3: go to South Africa May first, to like the twentieth.
Speaker 2: So I'm not going to move in this month because
Speaker 2: this month is really tight.
Speaker 3: I'm traveling this week to South Carolina and Florida, and
Speaker 3: then also like two weeks later, I'm actually getting an award
Speaker 3: with Hallmark. You know, Mahogany is Hallmark's like black brown brand,
Speaker 3: you know, like cards and stuff.
Speaker 2: I did not know that, but that's awesome.
Speaker 3: So Hallmark is honoring me their Mahogany. I don't know
Speaker 3: child with the name of the awarders after fly Toy
Speaker 3: Atlanta for I just know that. So that's happening. So
Speaker 3: because of all that's happening, I was like, honestly, I
Speaker 3: want to go my designer Rihanna. Shout out to Rihanna
Speaker 3: when I come back, because I bought most of the furniture.
Speaker 3: Its already in the house. She's going to like stage
Speaker 3: it for me, so it'll be like largely probably.
Speaker 2: Like eighty percent. I know it's like to come back
Speaker 2: to South Africa. I know, says that happened over eleven months.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm just really excited, like I you know,
Speaker 3: I wasn't as excited before, you know, just moving out
Speaker 3: of like my house that I built with Jirell.
Speaker 2: But you know, one the house is still here.
Speaker 3: It's not going anywhere. The kids, my sister and her
Speaker 3: two kids will live here, which is great.
Speaker 1: They're all excited. A million keeps asking me, when are
Speaker 1: you moving to the condown.
Speaker 2: She's she's been in there measuring just like it's just
Speaker 2: like the colors here.
Speaker 3: They already turned the man cave into the kids cave,
Speaker 3: so they're already living their best life. Whenever they come over,
Speaker 3: they barely say hello. They're like whatever, girl going off.
Speaker 2: Down to would love that stroke light It did way there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so I just like, you know, but I'm
Speaker 2: ready for it now.
Speaker 3: So that's my little boost that, like, you know, life
Speaker 3: is moving on and wonderfully for you. Yes, so I
Speaker 3: definitely have my housewarming. Of course, I'm you're invited. I
Speaker 3: don't know when. Yeah, but I don't know. I'm trying
Speaker 3: to decide to do like birthday party slash housewarming that
Speaker 3: won't be until like October.
Speaker 2: Girl, Yeah, so I might do that. You know that
Speaker 2: we can have everybody over, you know, so you can
Speaker 2: do a housewarming any old time. Exactly, exactly. That's a
Speaker 2: little very exciting. Thank you. That's a big boost. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a big it's a big journey. Some pictures. Can
Speaker 2: you send some pictures? Yes, I can, because it was
Speaker 2: very There was a lot of personality in there before
Speaker 2: but not yours.
Speaker 3: Yes, it was very thank Betsy Johnson for those of
Speaker 3: you who weren't familiar.
Speaker 2: So it's like, you know, she was the woman who
Speaker 2: lived there, Charlene before miss Charlene.
Speaker 3: She was a textile trader, so she traveled all around
Speaker 3: the world finding like beautiful textiles, which was evident because
Speaker 3: the textures, the colors that it was very bright. It's
Speaker 3: a beautiful place, and to her taste, it was definitely
Speaker 3: very beautiful. You could tell this is a woman with
Speaker 3: great taste, but her taste was very Betty Johnson color
Speaker 3: color color, Mitch Matt's prints so that is not me.
Speaker 2: I'm a little more subdued.
Speaker 3: Although there is color, just more like earth tones, and
Speaker 3: it's just really calm and really beautiful.
Speaker 2: So excited. Oh, I know, I was taking a little
Speaker 2: breath because I was just like reading a little bit
Speaker 2: about my break. I think I want to get ready
Speaker 2: for it. Okay, we ready for your break. That's okay,
Speaker 2: go ahead, Uh yeah, okay. So I last week was
Speaker 2: Black Maternal Health Week in America. And I don't have
Speaker 2: to tell like our audience, I know that you guys
Speaker 2: have heard these stories of the Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader
Speaker 2: who died most recently from sepsis, which is like blood infection,
Speaker 2: after delivering a steelborn baby girl. And she was only
Speaker 2: forty years old. That's extremely tragic. This has almost been
Speaker 2: a year since Tory Bowie. Tory Bowie, an Olympic sprinter,
Speaker 2: was found dead while she was in labor. So we
Speaker 2: know we've heard these stories. But what I wanted to
Speaker 2: highlight is two black women who are doing something about it. Yes,
Speaker 2: So Elaine Walter Roth love her semi idolized just a
Speaker 2: little bit, and Serena Williams have come together to create
Speaker 2: Birth Fund and I'm gonna tell you guys about it.
Speaker 2: And Serena Williams, you remember she had a whole documentary
Speaker 2: on her childbirth story, probably not even expecting to be
Speaker 2: documenting her own example of just the way that black
Speaker 2: female bodies are looked at, you know, an underestimated, under understan,
Speaker 2: under understood, and not treated the way that they should
Speaker 2: be when it comes to childbirth, because she almost died
Speaker 2: in her own childbirth. And Elaine Walter has talked about how,
Speaker 2: you know, she has a little boy and how it
Speaker 2: changed her whole approach to having a kid. She went
Speaker 2: and got a doula, and basically that is what birth
Speaker 2: Fund is going to help with. It's going to hold
Speaker 2: on a second do to do? Okay? Sorry, yeah, so
Speaker 2: I wanted to be sure I said it right. So
Speaker 2: Birth Fund it's going to be help. It's a it's
Speaker 2: a nonprofit that's going to help basically give access to
Speaker 2: quality care and life saving education to women women of color.
Speaker 2: So that'll include like doulas, it could be what do
Speaker 2: you call it, not a doula, but like a what's
Speaker 2: the other wife? Midwife? Thank you, access to those so
Speaker 2: that they can have the additional care and additional eyes
Speaker 2: on the mom at all time. And I just thought
Speaker 2: that that was wonderful. So if you guys want to
Speaker 2: check that out, it's called birth Fund, and we'll post
Speaker 2: a link to the show notes. But from two women
Speaker 2: who are using their platform for good, I just think
Speaker 2: that that's love. That finally something that we can say
Speaker 2: in the conversation about black maternal health, not just that
Speaker 2: it's happening, but that this is like, to me, this
Speaker 2: is an argument for like black and brown wealth. Right.
Speaker 3: I remember feeling guilty about making money because I was like,
Speaker 3: I have enough, I have enough, I have enough, And
Speaker 3: I remember one of my mentors said, Okay, then just
Speaker 3: use the part that you have for yourself and then
Speaker 3: the excess you use it to help causes that otherwise
Speaker 3: would not be highlighted unless a black woman stood up
Speaker 3: and said so you know, and I thought, like, okay,
Speaker 3: that like Serena Williams. I don't know if you saw
Speaker 3: Mandy she there was like this post about like she has.
Speaker 3: You know, she's a venture capitalist. She funds different companies
Speaker 3: and of forty two companies or something that she's funded,
Speaker 3: eighteen are unicorns, which means they're worth over a billion dollars.
Speaker 3: So I'll just say, you know, if I was a
Speaker 3: Betan woman, I bet al Serena And so right, does
Speaker 3: she need this level of wealth?
Speaker 2: No for herself personally, No.
Speaker 3: But what you see is is that at that level
Speaker 3: of wealth, of access, of prestige, if you will, that
Speaker 3: she gets to have a big voice in something like
Speaker 3: this because who else is going to do something and
Speaker 3: champion you know, black internal health but black moms. I
Speaker 3: mean not to say no one, but who I mean.
Speaker 3: It's coming from a place of this was me, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like I think to myself all
Speaker 3: the time, like for like this the most deadly blood
Speaker 3: disease that children die from, sickle cell, but it overwhelmingly
Speaker 3: affects black and brown children, but especially black children. And
Speaker 3: there's been no major advancements in like in the last
Speaker 3: thirty years, although I think my sister will telling me
Speaker 3: there is something that I've got a family member of
Speaker 3: sickle cell, And I'm just like, why has there not
Speaker 3: been any major advancements because it doesn't affect the quote
Speaker 3: unquote larger population, although it's the number one killer of
Speaker 3: blood disease of children children, And so I thought, well,
Speaker 3: someone is going to have to have a say, and
Speaker 3: it has to be a big voice. And one of
Speaker 3: those ways, one of the ways to have access to
Speaker 3: that big voice is when we grow well for ourselves,
Speaker 3: because we will champion things that other communities might not
Speaker 3: even think of. Sometimes it's not even it's benign neglect,
Speaker 3: you know. So I love that they're using their voice,
Speaker 3: their funds, their access, their network, you know, to highlight this.
Speaker 2: I love that, Yes, birth thebirthfund dot Com. We're gonna
Speaker 2: put a link in. That's incredible. And I can't wait
Speaker 2: to hear about whatever work you're doing with for sickle cell,
Speaker 2: because it is it's not surprising, but it's a fallow that,
Speaker 2: you know, babies are still being afflicted with the disease,
Speaker 2: which I'm sure we could cure, you know, if we
Speaker 2: just put more money behind it.
Speaker 3: We are before we jump off, you know, we always begging, honey.
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of the term dry bagging?
Speaker 2: Dry begging? Yeah? No, I don't know do.
Speaker 3: I used to say it, And I'm like, is it
Speaker 3: that a Drell saying or is that like, you know,
Speaker 3: like hood vernacular.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. Do anybody knows what dry baging? No?
Speaker 2: I don't know what it means, because sometimes I.
Speaker 3: Would hear people say, oh, they dry bagging, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: what is dry bagging?
Speaker 2: Like, you don't have anything to offer? I'm gonna google it, girl.
Speaker 3: Well, it's opposed to wet begging. Anyway, anybody knows, anybody
Speaker 3: knows okay, got something?
Speaker 2: Of course, it's on there. What doesn't mean okay? What
Speaker 2: is okay? So there's a couple of definitions. Should read
Speaker 2: the Facebook one is on top, but I don't know
Speaker 2: if I trust Facebook. But let's see, it refers to
Speaker 2: indirect requests. So if you're asking for in an indirect
Speaker 2: or roundabout way, oh my, oh real, it's the king
Speaker 2: of this. The way that we were hanging out with
Speaker 2: a little girl next street during the solo her Eclips.
Speaker 2: We were invited to go across the street to our
Speaker 2: neighbor's house. There's an eight year old girl. She's got
Speaker 2: like oreos chips, a hoy, she got a whole snack,
Speaker 2: you know whatever. For real. Of course is like bline
Speaker 2: for these days. But all he does instead of is
Speaker 2: asking can I have a cookie? He's like, hey, Mama,
Speaker 2: did you know I always loved chocolate chip cookie? Kay?
Speaker 2: Drop Bagon. Mama, did you know I always love gummy bales?
Speaker 2: Okay that's the girl for Yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, let's drive it. Okay drop Bagon. Okay, so anyway,
Speaker 3: we're not drive Bagon. We wet Megan, go ahead and
Speaker 3: leave us up review. We're moist, begging.
Speaker 2: It worse, say something different.
Speaker 3: We are going to ask you to leave us a
Speaker 3: review wherever you listen to the podcast, especially if you
Speaker 3: listen via Apple. It's not iTunes on more Apple Podcast.
