00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 2: my arms. I don't know if it's called one use,

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: but a use of one of my arms.

28
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: Hey manja, hey, gimpy.

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: How's it going? Actually not bad like I saw. I

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: got the surgery last week because you know, I tore

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: attendant in my rotator cuff and so I'm actually not

32
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: in pain. It's just that it's like feeling like a

33
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: really weak, so I gotta I gotta go to physical therapy.

34
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: I wear this sling only at night, but during the

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: day I'm actually pretty fine.

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: So ouch. Well, I hope that. I mean, this is

37
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: the last thing you needed. But I'm glad you took

38
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: care of it.

39
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I was just like, it feels like basically

40
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 2: what it's been feeling like, but a little bit like,

41
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: you know, less strong. But I'm glad to your point,

42
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: I took care of it because it was either temporarily

43
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: this or this forever if I didn't take care of it.

44
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: So I'm glad that I did. My husband was like

45
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: Superman was like I've never seen anybody rush to get

46
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: surgery so quickly because I was like, because the thing is,

47
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: when you have like a rotator cuff or a tear

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: or whatever, you actually have a really hard time sleeping.

49
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: And I've been having a really hard time sleeping. And

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm someone who loves my sleep. So I was like, yeah,

51
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: that's a non negotiable.

52
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: I literally took a match on a match. I took

53
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: a nap on my Zenden floor this morning this afternoon,

54
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, maybe I should get us a comfy

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: chair in here so I can nap. It was nice, y'all.

56
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: I took a nap in my office. It's great. This

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: is the best. I was like, I told my husband.

58
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: I was like, we need to get the light. The

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: only problem is that my light for the basement is

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: up the stairs, and I'm like, we need to get

61
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: a remote control light so I can just be like

62
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: peep and then I can just, you know, sneak under

63
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: my desk, take a little cat nap. It just I'm like,

64
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: why didn't I work from home before? I used to

65
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: hate it, But this is great, Tiffany, E've been holding

66
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: out on us.

67
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: Girl. When I tell you, you know, I love the

68
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: work from home work from home. Literally, I had like

69
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: a call at like one point thirty and I was

70
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: making myself a salmon burger at one twenty, Like this

71
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: is the life. I have plenty of time to eat my.

72
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: Burger, right, I have no excuse to order lunch anymore

73
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: because I just go upstairs and I grill a piece

74
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: of chicken and I'm like kind of cranky about it,

75
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: but then I feel good about myself afterward. Yeah, I'm

76
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: glad that you're on the mend.

77
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: But I did want to. So there's been a little

78
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: like I'm I don't know in the finance community, and

79
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: I would love to hear your input also to the

80
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: BA audience. So I'm not gonna I'll keep names out

81
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: of it because one of the young women I know

82
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: very well. So there's a Hispanic young woman. She posted

83
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: a meme and it featured it wasn't a negative meme,

84
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: but it featured a black woman. Well you know, I'll

85
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: just use a black woman's it's Asa Ray and it's

86
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: like he says, like in the New SUBNW magazine. Anyway,

87
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: she's jumping and she's posted memes before of like you know,

88
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: like you know, like jumping into your Ira or like,

89
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: you know, there's a funny one with Meg the Stallion,

90
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 2: you know, y'all know, so Meg is like looking disgustedly

91
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: down at the camera, and it's like the meme says

92
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: how the whole financial and personal finance industry is looking

93
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: at dr you know, we just talked about, you know what,

94
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: our least favorite financial guru. So anyway, I didn't think

95
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: anything of it. But I guess a group of black

96
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: women who are in the personal finance space, you know,

97
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,559
Speaker 2: share that they didn't like that she posts black women

98
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 2: in meme. I mean, she doesn't just post black women.

99
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: She mostly posts like everybody, but you know, black, Hispanic.

100
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever seen white, but either way,

101
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: and so she actually reached out to me and said,

102
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: you know, was I wrong for this? And I was like, well,

103
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: I I'm not gonna lie. I didn't. I didn't get

104
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: it because I'm not gonna lie. I posted Cardi b

105
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: as a meme. And remember many remember those two little

106
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: girls that like had the birthday party. It was like

107
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: a funny meme when one sister blew up the other

108
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: sister's candle. It was like these little, two little Hispanic

109
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: girls right, So, like I like named one of them

110
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 2: like you're checking account and the one that blew out

111
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: the candle, like you're you're checking your savings account, and

112
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: the other one was like you're when you know your

113
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 2: check engine lights. So basically, just when you're feeling good,

114
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: the girl whose birthday it was, your sister blows out,

115
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: and that's that's your your that's your your check engine light.

116
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 2: So anyway, those little girls were his spanning. So I

117
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: because I've posted memes of other races, I'm not gonna lie,

118
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't even get what the issue was.

119
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: And so one of the young black women that reached

120
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 2: out to the Hispanic woman was like, hey, you know,

121
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: she tagged me because she knows. You know, I'm close

122
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: with the young Hispanic woman. She's one of my mentees actually,

123
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: and so I actually conversation last night and I said,

124
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: you know, you know, I'm not trying to be you know, facetious,

125
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: but I have used memes with other races, and I

126
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: didn't know that it was like and not in a

127
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: negative way, like you know, never mean like this is

128
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: the rich one, the white woman, this is the poor one,

129
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: the black woman. You know, just like like when Cardi

130
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: b came out and she had a picture of her

131
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 2: when she was a little girl, and it was like

132
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: everybody was doing like she looks like a little girl

133
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: that would tell on people all the time. And it

134
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: was like my mama said, and I think I was, like,

135
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: my mama said, you better get to budgeting or something

136
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: like that. Anyway, So she the the young black woman

137
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: who reached out to me when we were conversing last night,

138
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: it was, you know, a pleasant conversation, wasn't anything negative.

139
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: She sent me a bunch of articles about digital black

140
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: face and then black memes, and it just a bunch

141
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: of things to like kind of read articles to read.

142
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: And you know, I I'm still struggling with I didn't see.

143
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 2: I didn't see anything inherently wrong if you're not using

144
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 2: it in a way to disparage the race that you're posting.

145
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 2: And I'm just curious and you know, and I could

146
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: be wrong. I'm open to obviously correction, because I'll give

147
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: you another example to the young woman. The Hispanic woman

148
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: had used so I guess on Clubhouse, she had used

149
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: Easter raised jumping picture as like her picture temporarily, and

150
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: so the black woman was like, she is blackfishing because

151
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: she us it's a raised picture. I'm like, yeah, but

152
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: I don't think she's trying to pretend, like, hey, I'm

153
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: tricking you to think I'm black, because I think black

154
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: people we know who Eter Ray is. And the Hispanic

155
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: woman's name is, her handle is a Hispanic hand. I

156
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: don't want to say so it goes rushing, but it's

157
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: it's basically like her handle is like I am, I

158
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: am a Spanish woman, Like that's her head. So it's like,

159
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: you know, and then the week prior, she had changed

160
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: her clubhouse picture to my book cover, so it was

161
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: my picture, and I shared that with her, Like you know,

162
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: I said, I'm not trying to make excuse, but is

163
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: that wrong if she changes her clubhouse picture to my

164
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: picture I'm a black woman, and she did so in

165
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: support of like my book, So you know, I'm trying

166
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: to remain open minded because it's become like a thing.

167
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: Then since then, yeah, and so since then, you know,

168
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: it's like she's apologized that my mentee has apologized publicly.

169
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about her reaction to me. I'm

170
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: not gonna lie to me. I didn't know I didn't

171
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: necessarily feel that anything was wrong with using means of

172
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: other races, but I did share that her her reaction

173
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: and not you know, it wasn't a positive reaction, like

174
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: you know, like how to navigate and negotiate when someone

175
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: tells you how they feel instead of antagonizing them with

176
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: like posting additional like posts to antagonize them to listen

177
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: even if you decide to continue the behavior. So to me,

178
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: that's where their misstep was made because her reaction to

179
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: them reaching out to her that wasn't ideal. And I

180
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 2: shared that with her so I could share that candidly here,

181
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: so that part I understood. But yeah, so what do

182
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: you think, Mandy, Like do you think digital I guess

183
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: digital black face or the memification of black women? How like, yeah,

184
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: I know you probably never had to think about that before,

185
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: but what do you think?

186
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: No, I have, I have had. I have been thinking

187
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: about it, and I think we saw a lot of

188
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: the thing with the memification of black people is especially

189
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: for me over the election cycle. That is, if you

190
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: ever were you know, if you ever were a massachist

191
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: like me and decided to go check on your conservative

192
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: family and friends Facebook pages just because you just wanted

193
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: something to be outraged about. You would see a lot

194
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: of really terrible memes, especially after Kamala Harris was named

195
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: Biden's VP choice. I remember one of my relatives back

196
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: in Georgia, who you know, it's been been a very

197
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: long year with that family. But yeah, they had posted

198
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: a meme of Kamala with the fly from Mike Pence's

199
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: head from that one debate coming out of her vagina,

200
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: and the idea was making fun of a black woman

201
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: and her sexuality and saying that she's dirty. And so

202
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: I have been ultra sensitive to to the memification of

203
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: black women in media because I because of that. And

204
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: it's not just Kamala Stacy Abrams, oh my god, the

205
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: some of the things that they have like that they

206
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: pass around on the internet with AOC Stacy Abrams. Uh,

207
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Ellen Omar. You know these these uh, these

208
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: women of color in politics who have gained gained a

209
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: big platform over the past, you know, in the wake

210
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: of the of Trump's election. It's it's really I mean

211
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: that is it's problematic, It definitely is. And and so

212
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: this definitely so it's something I I didn't realize it

213
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: was happening or that I did kind of hear about

214
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: this situation because I follow the same people you do, probably,

215
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: but that's where I'm coming from. I I've been really

216
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: sensitive to that. And like one of my friends and

217
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: what was it? There was it was there was something

218
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: that was sent around after Oh what was it? It

219
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: was some Oh damn it, I'm gonna think of it later.

220
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: And then it's like the perfect example. There was something

221
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: in the news and then someone created a meme out

222
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: of it, and I was like, look, it's too soon

223
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: for a meme about this, Like, I don't wanna it

224
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: was the Capital Riot. Thank you. It was the thank

225
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: you brain you gave it to me. The Capital Riot.

226
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: People were already trying to memify it. And you know

227
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: that guy carrying the podium out and saying like, oh,

228
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: this guy, you know, is your addiction to online shopping

229
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: and the podium is your savings account kind of like

230
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: and and that's just that's a fake example I just

231
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: made up. But for me, I was like, listen, too soon,

232
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: attack on our nation's democracy. Too soon by white supremacis

233
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 1: too soon. But in this case, in this case, yeah,

234
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: so a Hispanic woman with the with the yes Hispanic

235
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: woman using a pop culture figure like as her profile photo.

236
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: I think it's like you said, it's all about the

237
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: entire behind it. And my my thing is, I think

238
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: as black and brown people, we have to support one another.

239
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: And I think that there's a lot of there is

240
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: a lot of education on both sides that's necessary. I

241
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,599
Speaker 1: don't pretend to know everything that I need to know about,

242
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, cultures that are different than mine, but we

243
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: should all be more sensitive to that. And and I'm

244
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sorry if this meant that someone was

245
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: attacked or tried to be quote unquote canceled on social

246
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: for something that they did that was offensive to others.

247
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: I hope that it started a conversation. And I think

248
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: it's it's good that you know, you talk to your

249
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: mentee too, because you can come at it from because

250
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: I know you have empathy for the woman who made

251
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: the post. And but at the same time.

252
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: You know, I was open to like the young woman

253
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 2: that you know reached out because I you know, one

254
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: she was the you know, the young woman that reached out.

255
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,719
Speaker 2: She herself as a black, young black woman and she's

256
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: in personal finance, and she was like, oh, my god,

257
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: you know, but I love what you're doing and I

258
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 2: just wanted to, you know, bring this to your attention.

259
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: And I kind of it, but I didn't really know

260
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: what was happening. So we were like kind of like

261
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: messaging back and forth. Instagram has this like feature where

262
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: you can like it was nice to hear her voice

263
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: versus just like writing, because you know, sometimes you know,

264
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: you write something and it can it can lead a lot,

265
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: you know. So we were kind of like voice messaging

266
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 2: back and forth, and she was you know, more than

267
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: more than amiable pleasant, you know, it wasn't it wasn't

268
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: contentious at all. She just shared. So I you know,

269
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: I told her, I said, I'm gonna be honest that

270
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: you know, I don't do it a lot, but you know,

271
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: I've used means of people who were different races before,

272
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: so I want to get clear on what you know, Like,

273
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 2: you know, my initial reaction was like, what was wrong?

274
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: You know, and so she was like, you know, so

275
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: she sent me some articles to read, which I did

276
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,599
Speaker 2: and I said I understand, and said most of the

277
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: articles were about digital black face, and I said, well,

278
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: I don't you know. Her picture is her picture of

279
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: I think she's Dominican, but anyway, she's you know, like

280
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: a a light skinned Hispanic woman, you know. So and

281
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 2: she's a yes, but she used you know, ray ray

282
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 2: on her clubhouse and I said yes as a fun

283
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 2: pick because I don't think that she was pretending to

284
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: be soay because we all know who it wasn't a

285
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: random black girl, you know what I mean. And then

286
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: I said, and then I did share. I was like,

287
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 2: you know, she had before that, she had my picture up,

288
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: you know, And honestly, I had a whole room full

289
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: of people who shared my picture, although although I suspect

290
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: most of them were black women because that's my core audience.

291
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: So and I said, and then I shared some means

292
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: that I had that I said, and I was like with,

293
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 2: you know, it is this in the same line, and

294
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: because I've done that and I'm not I did, you

295
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like, I'm not looking to offend anyone,

296
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: but I'm also not looking to be you know, I

297
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: just want to make sure that because to your point, Mandy,

298
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: if someone says a thing like, hey, this is something

299
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 2: that's offensive to me, you should listen. And I think

300
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: that that part was definitely missing, the like you know

301
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 2: the listening component, but at the same time, and I

302
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: guess I'm also like I guess at the heart of

303
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: it all, and they're actually having a clubhouse about it,

304
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: you know, by the time you guys listen, I think

305
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: the clubhouse will be over, but they're having a clubhouse

306
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: about it conversation. So I'm gonna see if I can

307
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: make I don't know if I'll be able to because

308
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: I really do want to understand. I understand about the

309
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: memes that are meant to be used to disparage communities,

310
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: but I'm like, yikes, Like, for example, I used you

311
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: know Future, Are you familiar with Future? He used to

312
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: be like used to be with Sierra, Like yah, yeah,

313
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: So if you know, like futures like claim to fame

314
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: kind of is that he's kind of like an f

315
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: boy you know, like you know, like not the greatest boyfriend,

316
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: you know, just a player basically, right. So there's this

317
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: meme that everybody uses that Future is like so toxic

318
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: and that he's always texting some random foolishness. So so

319
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: there's this mean that I use where Future and you

320
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: guys can could take a look at my page and

321
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: kind of let me know what you think because I

322
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: am open where future is like texting, and it says

323
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: the Budgetista was on Clubhouse talking about her book Get

324
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: It with Money, and I realized, I need to get

325
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 2: good with you. I'm gonna pre order it for you

326
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 2: so you can see what I mean. But that is

327
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: very future like something will happen, and it's like like

328
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: just to say it's raining, you know, it's raining outside,

329
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: and it made me realize, you know, I miss sitting

330
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: in the rain with you, like that kind of thing,

331
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: like you know those guys who text you ten years

332
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: later what you're doing or how are you? So I

333
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: use that meme and I'm like, I mean, it doesn't

334
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: paint in future in the best life. So I'm really

335
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: just trying to learn, honestly. So I would love, honestly

336
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: be a like feedback, but because like I said, I

337
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: don't rarely most of my pictures on my ig feed

338
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: are me, but there's the off chance that you know,

339
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: it's a it's a it's a celebrity, And very rarely

340
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: do I post you know, a woman that's not me,

341
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: but or a woman of a different race, because my

342
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: audience is largely with black women. But honestly, if you

343
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: were to go to my Literature Academy page, we have

344
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: posts of all different races of women, and I'm just like,

345
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: I guess I'm trying to wrap my mind around when

346
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: is it okay to post other women? Because Literature Academy

347
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: there's a wider variety of women that join the my

348
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: online school and the budget NISA, not that we turn

349
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 2: anyone away, but my core audience as black women. So

350
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: with the Academy you see different faces way more than

351
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 2: you would on the Budgetista. And if you go to

352
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 2: liver at your academy the Instagram, you will see there's

353
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: a white woman like someone's TikTok, there's an Asian woman

354
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 2: and a Spanish woman. They're not memes per se, But

355
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: like I said, I guess I'm just having a hard

356
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: time Like now I get it.

357
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all use memes. And that is why I'm

358
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: so afraid of saying doing the wrong thing on on

359
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: social and why I'm not as quick to get in

360
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: the back and forth of being witty on social media

361
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: because I feel like eventually you are going to trip

362
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: up and slip up and offend somebody, not that I

363
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: and it just feels like I think that there should

364
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: be room for human error on the internet. Unfortunately the

365
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: culture were now I actually agree that it's a little

366
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: too It's not I don't want to use the word

367
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: that conservatives use whenever they talk about cancel culture and stuff,

368
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: because it's not that people are too sensitive. It's just

369
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 1: that there's not enough listening. There's not Honestly, there's not

370
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: a there's not space for that. It's not like any

371
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: no one really ever says, Okay, this was an interesting debate,

372
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: let's have a larger discussion. So I kind of love

373
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: that you you said that they're doing a clubhouse on

374
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: digital black face. I might try and check that out too,

375
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: But for me, it's like, I don't I do think

376
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: when you're sharing memes, think about what your meme is saying,

377
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: because I think what I've seen on social media is

378
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: political conservatives. You know, often white people when they share

379
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: memes to be entertaining or get laughs. It can be

380
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: a black person. Often it's like, you know, the memes

381
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: of the girls from Real Housewives or from a back

382
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: girls club, and like, I don't know those images. It's like,

383
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: why are you choosing this to represent your mood? And

384
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: I feel like whenever someone needs to like use a

385
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: gift to express that they're frustrated or they're pissed. It's

386
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: like a mad or sassy black woman, you know. And

387
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: I was just and I this is I was. I

388
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 1: was trying to actually got my vaccine point and I'm

389
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: so excited. The reason I'm eligible for a vaccine appointment

390
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: is because in New York, if you're overweight, that's a comorbidity.

391
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: And I have never been happier to be fat. Y'all. Okay,

392
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, yes, I will claim the pounds. No

393
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: more lying, no more given myself a thirty pound you know,

394
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: whatever's on my license that ain't true. I'm like, yes, yes,

395
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: I am fat, I am overweight. Uh huh anyway, so

396
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: what But anyway, I was trying. I was joking about

397
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: that with my family because of course they were like,

398
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: how did you get eligible? So I was trying to

399
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: choose a gift to show that I was chubby. I

400
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: ended up going Willne the Pooh. There's a really cute

401
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: gift of him, like, you know, poking his tummy in

402
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: the in the mirror. But there was like three pictures

403
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: of big black women before that, and I did look

404
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: at it, and I was like, nah, why is this funny?

405
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: Why you know? But to your point about not, you know,

406
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: not wanting to intentionally proliferate stereotypes like a black man

407
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: being a player or not you know, a player or

408
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: having a bunch of I don't know what future. I

409
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: don't know what his deal is. All I know is

410
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: you know Sierra has something to do with that. Are

411
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: they still together? I don't think so.

412
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, she's married now. But I say, what you

413
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: mean that likes me? The intention behind it and seeing

414
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: like you're right, Future. The intention for me posting future

415
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: was to reiterate what we know about him, which is

416
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: you know, well not what we know, what we think

417
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: we know about him, which is he's a player and

418
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 2: so let's lean into it. He he ha ha. But

419
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, er, is that fair of the future? You know? No,

420
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know him. Honestly, he could be

421
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 2: an amazing father, boyfriend, whatever. Yes, okay, Because I was

422
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: trying to wrap my mind around, like wait, what, we'll

423
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: not alls to use memes if you're not in it.

424
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: But it's bigger than that. It's the intention and because

425
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example that like my eyes are

426
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 2: like okay. So there was this you know, we all

427
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: know Joanna Scammer. Remember that guy his name was like

428
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: Brandon or whatever. So one day look at me one day,

429
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: So once in an email we sent out like I

430
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 2: don't know, it was one of our weekly good email

431
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 2: and we had send out to say, I forget what

432
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: the purpose of the email was, but we use a

433
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: Joeanna Scammer gift like Harry up before it's all gone

434
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: or whatever. The gift was sharing. And so a woman

435
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 2: wrought me back was like, wow, I'm really disappointed in you,

436
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: Tiffany and using this this you know Joanna Scammer. She's like,

437
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: I know, on its surface, is he he ha ha funny,

438
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: But when you really look at what this like what

439
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: he's perpetrating as it relates to women, especially black women,

440
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: especially women of color, it's negative like that. It's like,

441
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: you know, this is how we are, that we're scam artists,

442
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 2: that we all want we all subscribe it and want

443
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 2: to be wealthy white women. And so she sent me

444
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 2: some articles to read and I did, and I thought,

445
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 2: you know what, She's right, So I stopped using Like

446
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 2: that was the first time I ever sent out that

447
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 2: gift or used it, and that was the last time,

448
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 2: so I can you know. So that's why I said

449
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: I wanted to come with an open mind of like

450
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 2: cause you know, mindity reaction was like are we not

451
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 2: allowed to use skips? And we all I always use scips?

452
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: Wait wait wait wait you know, like what what's allowed?

453
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 2: And are you know? And is this overreaching? Is it not?

454
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: But I can see from that perspective of how you know,

455
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 2: sometimes sometimes you see things so so constantly, like Nini,

456
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 2: they've got this terrible gift of her like if you

457
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: go to with the.

458
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: Big teeth, Oh what is that?

459
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: I know it's really yeah yeah when I see that one,

460
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: I always cringe like, yeah, I have Nini with the

461
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: big like that's really it's like sambo honestly. Yeah.

462
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think that's where it comes into play.

463
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: It's like are you what are what image? Are you trying? Like? Okay,

464
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: this person posting a picture of Terray because she's a

465
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: fan of hers or whatever. I feel like some digital

466
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: black faces. Oh I'm trying to pretend like I'm a

467
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: black person. Yeah, I'm trying to catfish. What do they

468
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: call blackfish? Yes, that is obviously bad on its face,

469
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: but yeah, I I if I wanted to, like, I

470
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: am such a fan of America for I just have

471
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: loved her ever since forever. Real women have curves, ugly Betty,

472
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: I stand for her. I'm like, hell yeah, I put

473
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: my picture as America just to like if I was

474
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 1: celebrating her. But yeah, I think it's the intent behind it.

475
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound like this particular person tried to you know,

476
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: was doing it to to demean Esa or to try

477
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: to pretend like she was Lisa. If anything, she probably

478
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: thought this is like, oh, I'm showing that I'm down,

479
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: like I support black, black creatives and all that. I

480
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: feel like, if we're going to expect people to be

481
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: allies and we're gonna give them, like we've all been

482
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: saying this year, we need allies. We need people who

483
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: don't look like us to champion us. So that means

484
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: we should you know, beat white people. Non black people

485
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: are going to be championing black their they're black colleagues

486
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: or they're black you know, entertainers and artists and all that.

487
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: So there will be slip ups along the way, But

488
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: I don't want to stop the progress you know, I

489
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to make her feel like she could never

490
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: try to amplify a black voice or a black cause

491
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: because of what happened this time.

492
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, so yeah, so I mean, but we'd been

493
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: really curious. We'd love to hear from you guys, like

494
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: what you think, because it's a it's a slippery slope

495
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 2: at first seems like so benign, but then you're like, wait,

496
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: as I dig deeper, is it really so? I You know, honestly,

497
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 2: I'd love your feedback, love love to know what you think.

498
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm always open to learning. Like when a young black

499
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: woman shared me articles and stuff, I was like, oh oh,

500
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: And just hearing from you, Mandy, I'm like, oh, okay,

501
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 2: I will say this that I'm proud of my mente

502
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: because I know she it was not easy, she said.

503
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 2: She posted like a really heartfelt apology because we spoke.

504
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: We spoke at length, you know, and I just was

505
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 2: sharing with her where I thought she made some missteps.

506
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 2: At the time, I didn't really focus so much on

507
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: the memes and more so on the reaction and how

508
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: when when someone says something share something with you about,

509
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: you know, like reacting, like what that reaction looks like

510
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 2: and should look like, because you know, I'm not gonna lie.

511
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: There's definitely times people have come for me. I would

512
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 2: say nine times out of ten. I'm pretty good at

513
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: not reacting negatively. Every once in a while somebody catches

514
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 2: me and I snap, but that doesn't happen often. And

515
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: I told her, you know, I've misstepped, you know, but

516
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: you know, ideally you're wanting that. Quite honestly, if someone

517
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: comes at you nasty, you have the right to not

518
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: respond at all or to block them. Like if someone

519
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: comes at me, like you know, the young black woman

520
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 2: he hit me up, she wasn't nasty, so I wasn't nasty.

521
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 2: We had a great conversation. But if if she would

522
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: have come at me really really nasty, I have the

523
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 2: option of ignoring her or she just blocking her, which

524
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: I've done before to people who, instead of you know,

525
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 2: coming to me and sharing whatever they're thinking, you know,

526
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 2: can basically have come yelling or barking at me. And

527
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, there's no space for that, and I

528
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: just block and I leave it alone. I don't. I

529
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 2: don't give any space or energy to that. So yeah,

530
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 2: so I guess we'll see how this all plays out.

531
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was just very interesting. I was like,

532
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: I wonder what Mandra thinks.

533
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for caring. What little old mel.

534
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 2: Well?

535
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: What else is happening? Stimulus checks, stim means, I comment

536
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: stimm Stimmans, I was really bummed. Did you hear that

537
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: the fifteen dollars minimum wage is going to have to

538
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: get cut from? Let the policy the big bill that

539
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: they're trying to pass through.

540
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: Honestly, so did you know I'm so I'm going to

541
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: the White House virtually.

542
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: I don't know if you yes, yes, I saw that

551
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:33,320

Speaker 1: So basically, what is it? So what does it mean

556
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: when the White House contacts you to ask questions about

557
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: the economic relief package that they're working on. What is it?

558
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just basically it was not as specific as

559
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: you would think. They just reached out and said, hey, Tiffany,

560

Speaker 2: to identify and collaborate with collaborate with value content creators

564
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: across social platforms, and they're basically wanting to invite me

565
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 2: to a zoom curated specifically for content creators like myself

566
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: and senior officials on the National Economic Council. So they

567
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 2: want me to ask questions of the National Economic Council.

568
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,600

575
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: taping it and then I think I'll be able to

576
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: share the video like you know, with the audience later.

577
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, so you know, the woman who reached out,

578
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 2: I mean, judging by her name, it looks like a

579
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: black name. And she did say like that she was

580
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 2: a huge fan. I'm like, okay, dream, you know, my

Speaker 2: you know, that she reached out. I'm like, yeah, I'm interested.

Speaker 2: and she's a partnerships manager at the White House Office

587
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: of Digital Strategy. So it's just exciting to like, you know, basically,

588
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 2: what do y'all want to know from this administration about

589
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: like kind of like what's happening and you know, like financially,

590
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're going to do other types of like

591
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: collaborations with different like subject matters and so what it

592
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: seems like honestly, because there's a bunch of people that

593
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: I saw post about it in the financial space and

594
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: it was like all women unless the men just have

595
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: not posted. So I'm curious to see, like, you know,

596
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: what kind of comes of this. So yeah, I just

597
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,920

Speaker 2: But I'm like, Mommy, it's gonna be digital. She's like yeah,

610
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: but still I don't a screenshot. So something about the

611
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: invitation so I could I could hear my friends?

612
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, oh that's so. I mean, good on them

613
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: for if you're on their list of people to to

614
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: to be counseling the Economic Council, then that is a

615
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: sign that we were heading in the right direction. Y'all,

616
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: I've been reading. I'm not gonna go too far into it,

617
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: but I have If y'all actually read the articles on

618
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: what's happening with the stimulus package. It is not you know,

619
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: that whole the fifteen dollars minimum wage that we were

620
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: we I'm not, you know, whatever progressives were hoping would

621
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: be in the package had had has to be dropped

622
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: in order to pass the sentence. So it's passed the

623
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: House and now, and the reason it has to be

624
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: dropped is just it's literally like the monotony of passing

625
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: policy in this country, and like the little niggling rules

626
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: that can stop things from happening, and the way that

627
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: they're trying to pass this bill, if I'm understanding correctly,

628
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: they need a certain number of votes in order to

629
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: do it, and because we don't have that big of

630
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: a majority. In fact, in the Senate it's a dead

631
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: tie with Commonly being the tie breaking vote. It's not

632
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: enough to get the number of votes that they need.

633
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: They actually need more than that simple majority to get it.

634
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: So that's why we can't. We just can't be complacent, y'all.

635
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: Even with even having the House and taking back the

636
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: White House and we have that razor thin edge and

637
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: the Senate, it's it's still not enough for some policies

638
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: to be passed through, so you know, just you know, vote, vote, vote,

639
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: please vote, and pay attention to that.

640
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's just there's just so many honestly, Like

641
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: I have to say, like most of the questions that

642
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 2: people ask revolved around the fifteen dollars like minimal wage.

643
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: So many questions about student loans.

644
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh.

645
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 2: I would say a good forty percent that people like

646
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: message me, we're about student loans. And then there's a

647
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 2: lot of worry about Okay, so we have all this

648
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: more moratoriums about like deferred mortgages and deferred payments and

649
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: so what happens when those expire. So a lot of

650
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: people are like, so I still don't have any money,

651
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: so what'll be fit to do then? Yeah, so there's

652
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: just a lot of worry and understandably, so.

653
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well when it's this uh, this meeting.

00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: from Caitlin. Caitlin says, Hey, Bron Ambition, I love the podcast.

680
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: You've taught me so much. I have what feels like

681
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: a very simple and actually a privileged question for you.

682
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm very lucky and have a relative who set up

683
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: a brokerage roth IRA for me. Can I still set

684
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: up my own roth? They contribute the money to the

685
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: brokerage IRA, but I don't know if that would prevent

686
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: me from opening my own. Thanks for helping me get

687
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: my retirement game on. Now. I follow it up with

688
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: her because when she asked, you know this, this almost

689
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: sounded like are you young and someone's opened a custodial

690
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 1: IRA for you? Yeah, because custodial IRA, which I opened

691
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: for my son recently, is basically it's an IRA that

692
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: IM in that he's the beneficiary of. He'll get control

693
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: of it when he's I forget if it's eighteen or

694
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: twenty one in New York, but when he's of age

695
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: then he can have access to it. But anyway, so

696
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: I followed up and asked her, and she said, Okay,

697
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: I am thirty four, two kids, a husband, mortgage, student loans,

698
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: and the account actually isn't a custodial IRA. I'm in

699
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: full control of it, but I don't touch it because

700
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: this relative continues to contribute the max each year. First

701
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: of all, can you adopt me into this family with

702
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: relatives who max out your IRA every year, because that

703
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 1: seems like a pretty sweet do you. So basically, she's

704
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: got this IRA that someone's contributing to, which is dope,

705
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 1: but she would like to. And the reason that she's

706
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: asking about the limit up to every year, there's a

707
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: new sort of limit set on how much you can

708
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: put into a roth IRA, and for twenty twenty one

709
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: it's six thousand dollars, I believe. So once you've hit

710
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: six thousand, you can't contribute to that roth IRA anymore.

711
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: So she wants to know can I do my own

712
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: and then I can have up to twelve thousand dollars annually.

713
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: The answer is no. I'm pretty sure that no, you

714
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: can't do that, especially if it's in your name already.

715
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is the thing though, and

716
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: this is a good question that I've come that actually

717
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: led me from this is how did they know? You know?

718
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: I was surprised. I finally had maxed out my four

719
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: to one K through my employer for the past couple

720
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: of years, and I was trying to do the math

721
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 1: toward the end of the year, like to be sure

722
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: I didn't put too much because I was worried, and

723
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: even my magical financial planner Helen, couldn't really tell me.

724
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: How did they know if you've exceeded and then if

725
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: you do put more than you're allowed to what happens? Then?

726
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: Do you have to like how does that work? And

727
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: I realized with my four to one K, they have

728
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: an automatic they just stop you, like if you get

729
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: to the max, they won't take your money, They'll just

730
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: you know, they'll take less than what you automatically have

731
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 1: contributed from your four to one K. But with an era, yeah,

732
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: I wonder how did they know? Maybe when you submit

733
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: your taxes you have to put all that in there,

734
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, you're only allowed one ira, and you know

735
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: this relatives maxing out yours. If you wanted to have

736
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: an additional ira, you say you were married and you

737
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 1: have a spouse, so I would say, you know, maybe

738
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: have one in their name that you could open and

739
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 1: then contribute to would be the next step. Or you know,

740
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: take your extra coins and throw them into a traditional era.

741
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I was going to say, like, like, for example,

742
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 2: you can have a raw ira, but there's a maximum

743
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: that you can contribute to retirement and you could potentially

744
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: have multiple accounts, but you still can't exceed the max,

745
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: Like you can't exceed like if it's six thousand dollars,

746
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: that's what it is this year, and usually it goes

747
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 2: up like every two years, like five hundred dollars or

748
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: something or so every two years, you can't exceed whatever

749
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 2: the max is. I remember, like, I don't know how

750
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: they know. Like for example, I was contributing accidentally to

751
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: accept but I was no longer self employed, but I

752
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 2: still thought of myself as self employees, like no, girl,

753
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: you work for your company now, And so I was

754
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: mistakenly contributing to a steps so I had to like

755
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 2: it was just a whole like tax kerfluffle that had

756
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 2: to be fixed. But I thought to myself, how did

757
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 2: they even know? But they knew, they knew. Yeah, I

758
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: don't know how they know, but they'd be knowing that maybe.

759
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I would say, you know, open your own

760
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: brokerage account, and I mean, again, can y'all adopt me?

761
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 2: Because I would be that's really awesome, yeah, of your

762
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: relative very much.

763
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: So all right, well, thank you very much for your question.

764
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: Hopefully that answered it, and let me know what you

765
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: and your husband decide to do, you know, because you

766
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: could always just open up a regular brokerage account taxable

767
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: brokerage account too, and just wouldn't want you to like

768
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: not invest extra money if you had it.

769
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

770
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: All right, here's a comment on last week's episode where

771
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: we talked about, you know, Tiffany brought up picking your

772
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: brain and asking potential mentors or people in your you know,

773
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: industry or in your in your field for advice and

774
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 1: how that can really go overry and how you know, Tiffany,

775
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: not to put words in your mouth, but as I'm summarizing,

776
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: but you want you kind of try to protect yourself

777
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: from situations where you know people are picking your brain

778
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons or they're doing it selfishly, and

779
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: then you're just not getting anything out of it, but

780
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: yet you're pouring into it. So this read or sorry,

781
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: this listener said, I totally agree with both Mani's and

782
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 1: Tiffany's points of view. I hate this post about picking

783
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: your brain because picking your brain in that phrase can

784
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: be very off putting. When I was in corporate America,

785
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: there were two white women that helped me launch my

786
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: project management career. I wish I had a black woman

787
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: as a mentor. But I never worked in an organization

788
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: with a lot of black representation in management or executive positions.

789
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: The women that helped me didn't require an invoice. They

790
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: just wanted to play the role as mentor and pay

791
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: it forward. I implemented what they recommended because I didn't

792
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: want to waste their time and understood that they were

793
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: doing it for free. It just feels like all the

794
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: quote internet unquote millionaires don't remember that it was likely

795
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 1: someone giving up their time to help them. And to

796
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: be honest, I often wonder how much value they are

797
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: actually providing. Love You Ladies and the podcast No, And

798
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: to be honest, I often wonder how much value they

799
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: are providing there you.

800
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 2: Go No No, I agree, And honestly, I it's unfortunate.

801
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 2: I think that obviously asking in the right way and

802
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: then asking without expectation that someone has to do it.

803
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 2: But I do believe in pouring into people. I've got

804
00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 2: three active mentees like right now, and I don't expect

805
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 2: anything other than that what I share, not that it

806
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 2: has to be implemented to the tea, but you're going

807
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 2: to you know that you're you're not just talking just

808
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 2: to talk. You know that You're like, oh, I never

809
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 2: thought about it that way, okay, meaning like I like

810
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: to see growth basically now, even if it's not exactly

811
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 2: like what I've said, you know, but I don't want

812
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 2: to pour in. And then you're like, yeah, actually, change

813
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,479
Speaker 2: my mind. I want to be a writer. It's like, okay,

814
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 2: well here's something you can do. I actually I changed

815
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: my mind. I want to scuba dive. And it's like, oh, okay,

816
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 2: because because it's like, you know, typically, like I don't

817
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: spend less than an hour of time on the phone

818
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 2: with my mentees, you know, at a time some of

819
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 2: like when outside was open. One mente in particular, we

820
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 2: would always have lunch for a couple of hours. I

821
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 2: just shared with you my you know, my mentee, the

822
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 2: Hispanic young woman, and then pouring into her. We spoke

823
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: for an hour yesterday after everything had happened, so I believe,

824
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 2: and even the Hispanic MENTI when she reached out to me,

825
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 2: she asked me, can you be my mentor? And I said, honestly,

826
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: I'm my capacity, but I always almost always say we

827
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 2: can have a call if I'm not super overwhelmed. And

828
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 2: so we had a call and I say, I really

829
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 2: liked her, and we clicked and then we just started

830
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 2: speaking like more regularly, and then she was like, hey,

831
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 2: I'm a mentee. Now I guess you are.

832
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: Yes, so because it's it's a friendship as much as

833
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: it's a professional relationship, you know, So if you vibe

834
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: and you enjoyed talking to someone, yeah, I yes. I

835
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: just know there are some people out there giving advice

836
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: to people and they're like, man, I really hate talking

837
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: to this person and stop doing it, you know.

838
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, no, no, I totally agree. And I think

839
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 2: it's just unfortunate too that she's right that a lot

840
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 2: of people don't want to pour in. Or is it

841
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: like because like if you DM ig DM someone and

842
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 2: ask them, that's not the same thing as someone I

843
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 2: wanted to pour in. You know, they might receive. I

844
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 2: remember a woman like wrote me and I try to

845
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 2: answer my ig dms. I actually had to turn them

846
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: off because it got to be so overwhelming because I

847
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 2: would get hundreds a day I'm asking questions, So I

848
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 2: was I usually said, aside a couple hours a day

849
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 2: to like go through and answer all these questions. And

850
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 2: I guess I missed her question because she like wrote

851
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 2: me back like a nasty like, oh, I guess you

852
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 2: don't answer, And I was like, what I didn't see,

853
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 2: you know, And I said, oh, I apologize. I don't

854
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 2: always get to see all my questions. I get a few,

855
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 2: you know, across all platforms, I get a few hundred

856
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 2: a day. And she said something nasty back, and I'm like, sis, yeah,

857
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 2: you know, like because then now, like so, what motivation

858
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 2: is it for me to help you with this credit score?

859
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: Now that you don't bark on me, you know, But so, yeah,

860
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 2: I do believe that people should pour into people, but

861
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 2: I also believe that you should ask without expectation, because one,

862
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: you don't know like where that person is, you don't

863
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: know what's happening, You don't know, you know, they could

864
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 2: be having a personal crisis. I remember a woman was

865
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 2: mad at something that happened in the group and she

866
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: had reached out to me. And at the time, I

867
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 2: just had fiber surgery and it was like serious surgery,

868
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: like it was like it was like a cesarean had

869
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 2: like cut me open. That was in the hospital for

870
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 2: three days. And so I guess she must have written

871
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 2: me the day before I went in or whatever, and

872
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: you know. But I was in the hospital for three days.

873
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 2: I was not on Facebook. So by the time I

874
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 2: got back, she had this litany of like, you know,

875
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: basically cussing me out, and I was like, oh so

876
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: just sweat my eyes fighting for my life in the hospital.

877
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: You never know what someone is going through. Just stop,

878
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: just stop up, Oh my god, what's happening?

879
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 2: Ask without expectation, but you should certainly ask, and no

880
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 2: one just because you're asking something, they should not mistreat you. Now,

881
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 2: it'd be one thing if you ask some one they're like, girl,

882
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 2: don't ask me that. Then that's nasty. But someone not

883
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 2: responding could mean that they didn't see it, and someone

884
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 2: responding in a nasty way is unacceptable. But someone doesn't

885
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 2: have to say yes or even has to respond because

886
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 2: quite honestly, they may not have seen it. So like, yeah,

887
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 2: it's yeah, it's unfortunate that there are there are nastiness,

888
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 2: this nastiness on both sides. But I honestly, more than

889
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 2: most times, I find that people are pretty generous, you know.

890
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 2: I find that, so so lean in and don't be

891
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,240
Speaker 2: afraid to lean in horizontally someone who was at similar

892
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 2: level than you, but might be killing it in one

893
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 2: area that you want to learn about.

894
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point your colleagues for peers.

895
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 2: Exactly, because there are definitely people who are like that.

896
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, Mandy, wait, how do you do that?

897
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 2: You know, because somebody else who you know is way

898
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 2: fur their head might be super busy, but it's easier

899
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 2: to reach out to people who are who are at

900
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 2: similar levels, but they've they've really killed a section, like, well, wow,

901
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: your Instagram stories are amazing? Can I ask a question?

902
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 2: I do that all the time, and I've always been

903
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: met with more more feedback than if I reach out

904
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 2: to someone who was like, way, way way ahead of me,

905
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 2: because it's likely they may not have seen my message.

906
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely well, y'all can definitely send me your questions. I'm

907
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: gonna answer. I'm gonna read them. If not me, then

908
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: my cousin Anna. So we are here for all of

Speaker 2: Now it's time to boostop break, Oh, boost up break?

00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 2: Is you gonna booze? Is you gonna break me while

00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm bopping like my shoulders not.

Speaker 1: Like, oh please, don't don't bob sliggle your toes or something.

921
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 2: So are you gonna boost or are you gonna date break?

922
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: Mandra I want to do a boost. I'm gonna do

923
00:44:58,440 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: a mini boost, and then I actually want to boot

924
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: one of our listeners who sent a really sweet story

925
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: about her financial win. So I don't know, I kind

926
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: of feel like we should do that. Y'all shall send

927
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 1: us your financial wins and then maybe we can boost

928
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 1: you every once in a while.

929
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 2: Ooh I love that. Yeah.

930
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: So my original boost was going to be yesterday during

931
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: the Globes, which I am. I guess I'm eighty five

932
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: years old. I still watch the Golden Globes because no

933
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: one else did. I just like to have it on

934
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: the background, you know, And it was really awkward because

935
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: everyone's on zoom, but I really wanted to see who

936
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: was going to win Best Actor, and Chadwick Boseman won

937
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: for his role in Mavrey Knee's Black Bottom, and his wife,

938
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, Chadwick passed last year. His wife accepted his

939
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: award on his behalf. And what really made it touching

940
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: beyond the fact that he won, was a segment earlier

941
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: in the show when they had some I don't know,

942
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: some TV host I think it was like entertainment tonight,

943
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: and they interviewed a bunch of little kids, like kids

944
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: say the darn is saying, let's see, you know, and

945
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: they asked him a bunch of questions about pop culture,

946
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: about the government, like where's the White House? All these

947
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 1: funny questions on a quiz. Of course, none of the

948
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 1: kids knew anything, like knew any of the right answers

949
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: except all of those kids, and they were very diverse,

950
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: black girls, black boys, white boys, white girls, like all

951
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: different ethnicities. Every one of those kids knew when he

952
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: said who is chad but Chadwick Boseman, they all knew

953
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: Black Panther. And after you watched the whole that really

954
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: gave me chill. I'm getting chills now because that just

955
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: is just it's just a reminder of how powerful that

956
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: film was and what Chadwick meant to everybody for the culture,

957
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 1: but not just for our culture, but for the whole,

958
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: for everyone, for everyone. So shout out to Chadwick, rest

959
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: in peace. And I can't believe he's gone, but all right,

960
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: that was my boost. And then I did say I

961
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: was going to read this message we got from our

962
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: listener on Instagram because I thought it was really sweet.

963
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: Last week or the week before that, we were talking

964
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: about merging your finances as a couple maybe for a

965
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: little bit, and about how sometimes when you when you're

966
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: on the same page about your goals, you can achieve

967
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: your goals faster as a couple. So this is our listener, Darlene,

968
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 1: and she says this, Hey, Andy and Tiff. I feel

969
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: like Tiff is a friend, so I'm gonna I can't

970
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: even say her full name anymore. I was listening to

971
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,840
Speaker 1: the recent podcast and I wanted to give some insight

972
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: about the listener who said they had forty thousand dollars

973
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: in debt. I was in a similar situation where I

974
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: was almost thirty thousand dollars in debt between credit cards

975
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: and personal loans, and it took a toll on my

976
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: life in general. In October, after I had a big breakdown,

977
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: my husband finally saw the toll it was taking on me,

978
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 1: and he decided to close out his bank account and

979
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: merge with mine so we could start putting our money together.

980
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 1: We made a few calls with a couple of my

981
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: credit cards and asked for an extension, and in the meantime,

982
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: we took our stimulus money along with almost three thousand

983
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: dollars we had saved and started the snowball method. And

984
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 1: just to back up what you said, the only regret

985
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 1: I have was not putting our money together sooner. We've

986
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 1: been able to get my debt down to eight thousand dollars,

987
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: and while we still have a long way to go,

988
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: we have made it far and even our relationship has

989
00:47:58,840 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 1: gotten better.

990
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 2: We respect yay, we.

991
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: Respect money much more now than ever before. So that

992
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: was a message from Darlene and Darlene, I'm snapping for you.

993
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I would snap for you, darling. Well, you know

994
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:12,720
Speaker 2: it's my left handed snap.

995
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 1: You got the left hand. Wait which arm is it

996
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 1: left or right?

997
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 2: My right arm is finito?

998
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: Oh left hand snap?

999
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 2: That's my left handed snap. It's not as strong, but

1000
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 2: it's there for you. Girl. No, honestly, that's awesome. Remember

1001
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 2: like that thing that we'd like that there was something

1002
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 2: that folks to me that was really powerful that doctor

1003
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 2: Green had taught me that shame. You know, shield solutions

1004
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 2: and the only antidote is is voice. And so you

1005
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 2: gave voice to it. You ask for help, your husband

1006
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 2: heard you, and now here you are. So that's awesome.

1007
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:44,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that. Thank you so much for sharing that, darline. Yes,

1008
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: all right, Tiff, Well.

1009
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 2: My boosty boost is not a super like you know

1010
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 2: in depth Booze, but system may or may not have

1011
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 2: got a time.

1012
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: Boy. First of all, who do you know? Because I

1013
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: got a cousin who works there, and my ass couldn't

1014
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: get that bike sooner than six weeks.

1015
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 2: You know, it's crazy because they sent some email that

1016
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 2: you know that they had because they were having obviously

1017
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 2: you know, everybody's home quarantine pandemic. So they kept sending

1018
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 2: these updated emails saying like, you know, we're we're fixing,

1019
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 2: like the way we you know, we source like the

1020
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 2: bike materials and how we've shipped them and blah blah blah.

1021
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 2: Then I got a text maybe like a week ago.

1022
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: That was like, hey, your bike actually is not due

1023
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks, but we could deliver it

1024
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 2: earlier if you'd like. And I was like, say less,

1025
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 2: and so it came on Sorturday. I'm so excited that

1026
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 2: the Peloton guys who dropped it off were so so

1027
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 2: so so so nice. Of course, I'm pissed because I

1028
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 2: got my arm done on Wednesday and my arm was like, oh,

1029
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 2: you think you're gonna ride a bike? I tried to

1030
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 2: sit on it and I was like, what if I

1031
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 2: could do on one handed? My husband's like, so you

1032
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 2: don't want teeth as well as an arm, gotcha? So

1033
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 2: you know what, it doesn't matter because I got the

1034
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 2: shoes too small, so I actually got to get a larger,

1035
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:57,359
Speaker 2: like maybe a half size larger because I were nine.

1036
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm two sizes larger than the shoe that I went

1037
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: through three four pairs. Yes, just get just go a

1038
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: couple sizes up.

1039
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 2: Yep, okay, okay, so good to know. So I will

1040
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 2: because I got a nine, I was like, I was,

1041
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,839
Speaker 2: so maybe I'll get a are you what side do you? Mandy?

1042
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: Normally I got a nine, and I actually I think

1043
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: which is a size forty, and then I had to

1044
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: get a size forty two. I went through forty one

1045
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: and then forty two.

1046
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 2: But in your real life, you were a nine.

1047
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: Yes, before I had a baby, but then you know,

1048
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: babies make your feet bigger. That's what I've realized. That's

1049
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: a neat little treat. Sorry, nice, I was a bonus.

1050
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: I'll take your vagina and you're none, your shoes fit,

1051
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: You're welcome.

1052
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 2: Okay, So maybe I'll try that because I was just

1053
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 2: so like, oh no, So I mean not that I

1054
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 2: can ride it anytime soon, but you know, everybody else

1055
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 2: in the house is exciting, so well.

1056
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: Listen, listen, you've got the peloton app. Now they have meditation.

1057
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: I did. You can do like a one armed yoga.

1058
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: They might have that. The meditations are legit. Chelsea Jackson,

1059
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: what's her name, Chelsea Jackson roberts Ooh, her voice, And

1060
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. When I meditate, I like to hear

1061
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: a black woman's voice. It's just so soothing, and it's

1062
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 1: just I feel like Chelsea is just here to lure

1063
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: me to sleep all the night. So I feel very

1064
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 1: like it's she must feel so weirded out when people

1065
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: are like, Yo, it's yours the last voice I heard
