1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Hey, well this is exciting.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: First of all, it took Victoria Monette aka Hazel's mom

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: about forty minutes to walk from one side of the

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: room to the other because you got stopped a million times.

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: But thank you and that's a blessing.

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, people care.

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 4: There was a time when no one'm good at all.

8
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: I just want to say I always care because everything

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: every single time I see Victoria Monette and I hear

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: your music. Love the new song with w doll off

11
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: of me, Hey the same god jazz right, I love

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: it us.

13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: To like she just did.

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: I love whole dance right here all right with backup dancers.

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: But no, just seeing like all of that is just

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: You're so deserving, so talented, so amazing, seeing all of

17
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: the accolades, and I know that is not even why

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 2: you do it, but it's just if people know your incredible,

19
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: incredible journey to get here.

20
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: And now you have a children's book.

21
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 4: Yea, I'm so excited everywhere you are.

22
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: Can you say your Jasmine read yours?

23
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 3: I cannot say it, Victoria, Can you please say this book?

24
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 4: And nor can I?

25
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 3: Okay, dun'tday is where? Okay got it? What inspired? Obviously

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 3: you have a child. But what inspired the book.

27
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 4: Just really the fact that I'm balancing motherhood and work

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 4: and I know we all have to do that, and

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 4: so the book is intended to combat separation, anxiety, and

30
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 4: children and mom or parent guilt. The book is a

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: conversation between the moon and a star, and the sentiment

32
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 4: is that you know when you look in the sky,

33
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: sometimes you don't see the moon, but you know in

34
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 4: the back of your mind it's there, and us as parents,

35
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 4: that's what a child will feel. Sometimes you don't see us,

36
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: but you know that our love is there. And so

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 4: there's certain quotes in the book that I want the

38
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 4: children to kind of live with and know that love

39
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: brings us together and it's not only presents.

40
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 5: What do you tell your daughter when you're away, or

41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 5: how do you explain that to her, because she is

42
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 5: a child too.

43
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 4: She actually she comes with me a lot of places,

44
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: but one have to go. I explained to her that

45
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: a lot of what I'm doing is for her, and

46
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 4: it's also for me and Mommy's dreams too, in the

47
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 4: same way that I want her to continue to do it.

48
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 4: She wants to do and accomplish her dreams. Mommy still

49
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 4: wants to do those things too, and from a young age,

50
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 4: I want her to understand that and that balance that

51
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 4: she doesn't have to give up anything. She'll just have

52
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 4: to make sure that her time management is correct to

53
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: be able to do multiple things that she wants to do.

54
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 5: I've never heard to explain that. I always hear mom say,

55
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 5: I'm doing this. You know, I'm out working for you,

56
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 5: but also I'm also out because I'm pursuing my dreams

57
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 5: as well.

58
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: So I like that.

59
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: Sometimes people think that with motherhood. I used to think that, like,

60
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: you can't do it because you have to make too

61
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: much of a sacrifice and you'll lose your career. And

62
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: you know, that does get programmed in women, and that's

63
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: always been something.

64
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: That like for me, it's like, man, if I, you know,

65
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: do then I gotta not work for a little while.

66
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: And they and people even in the workplace think that

67
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: if you're a mom, that means you're going to be

68
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: taking sick days.

69
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: Even work early.

70
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: I've heard people say that, yeah, when nobody questions a

71
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: dad at all.

72
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that's true. A double standard. And then the

73
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 4: fact that men can have children until they literally die,

74
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: like we.

75
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: Have a time too right, honestly.

76
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: Haveing crazy and since we have kind of clock, Nature's

77
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: given us a clock, it's important for us to realize

78
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: that we do have the ability to do both instead

79
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 4: of trying to delay the process in order to only

80
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: do one thing at a time. And just encourage women

81
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 4: to take that leap of faith.

82
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: Because sometimes people feel like you have to be financially ready,

83
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: but are we ever financially.

84
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 4: I hear people talk about that, like, once I hit

85
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 4: this amount of savings and I'll do it. But motherhood,

86
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 4: there's nothing like that force. It will force you to

87
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: get it together. It actually becomes an inspiration. And my

88
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: life took a turn after I had Hazel because I

89
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: knew I had someone else besides me, that it was

90
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 4: depending on me. So it actually made me work harder

91
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 4: and instead of the ladder where I have to sit

92
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: at home and be stay at home mom, and you know,

93
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: if that's not what I want to do, I support

94
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: all women who want to do that. But if it's

95
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: not what you want to do, there is a way

96
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: to balance it all.

97
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: Is she aware that she also co authored this book's.

98
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: She's not aware that she was like the person who

99
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: she was so young at the very early iterations of

100
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 4: the book, so we were kind of like I was

101
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 4: reading versions to her and then editing as I go.

102
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 4: So she's kind of your an editor honestly.

103
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

104
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 4: Well she's done the audiobook with me actually, so she

105
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 4: is a part of it.

106
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: She's such a star.

107
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: She is she is honestly so absolutely adorable.

108
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: It is so much.

109
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 5: Have you been or were you apprehensive about sharing her

110
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 5: with us with the public, because she is the star

111
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 5: and she's she's her own celebrity.

112
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 4: Yes, actually, and I thought about not sharing it, but

113
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 4: it's one of the best things. It is the best

114
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 4: thing I've ever done, so it's hard not to share

115
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 4: your the proudest thing with the world. I just have

116
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: to move with certain cautions, you know, and making sure

117
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 4: that she's not online seeing certain comments until she's ready

118
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 4: to receive it. But as far as what I'm sharing,

119
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 4: I feel okay, okay with it.

120
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: Okay.

121
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed you sit down with Kiki Palmer too.

122
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 4: She's so funny, she is so such a great personality,

123
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: and we've been watching her grow for years and I'm

124
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: just happy to see everything that she's doing. Such a

125
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 4: mobil and she's a mom and balancing it all too.

126
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: She's keiky, always keep a job.

127
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: Palmer soda, and she's also very talks a lot about

128
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: being like financially responsible. Yeah you know how She's like

129
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: like even I'm gonna still have this, we'll live within

130
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: her below And how are you with, you know, with

131
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: living within your means?

132
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 4: Terrible?

133
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 3: Terrible, so relatable.

134
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 4: I'm terrible, so literally, I feel like, but a lot

135
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 4: of my spending is not like bags and shoes and stuff.

136
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 4: It's like, if I want a music video to happen,

137
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: I don't put my own money into it because there's

138
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 4: not enough budget, And like is this an investment or

139
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: like house renovations, which I know is like still an asset,

140
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: but yeah, some things I know I'm not supposed to do,

141
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: but I'm like, I really want and I just have

142
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 4: faith that it's going to come back like a revolver.

143
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: And you know what happens because you spend some money

144
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: and then somehow magically that same day or the next day, another.

145
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: Check pops up, and you're like, oh, okay, little publishing checks.

146
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's a bit of toxic because I'm like, when

147
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 4: have I never not been okay?

148
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 5: Oh my okay, so I would just like to say

149
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 5: this Angela is not the person you should ask if

150
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 5: you should not buy something.

151
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 3: She'd be like, you're gonna tell you.

152
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: I would be like, it's gonna come back around, because

153
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: I feel like you have a limitless talent and the

154
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: ability to always make money, whether yeah as a creative,

155
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: whether you're doing it yourself or for somebody else, You're

156
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: always going to get checks and then you have residual

157
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: checks that's always going to be coming in.

158
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: What else is on the bucket list for you?

159
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,479

Speaker 3: Okay, what you're doing here?

164
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 4: I am I haven't seen a comedy like that, especially

165
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 4: with women in the forefront. But like, since I feel

166
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 4: like Friday.

167
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,120

Speaker 5: a role for yourself in mind?

169
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 4: For I definitely would love to be a part of

170
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: comedy roles. I don't have a specific role like a

171
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 4: dream role, but comedy and definitely snl.

172
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: Okay that for sure? Yeah, fun, I know, because you

173
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: have a good sense of humor.

174
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 3: I like to are you fun Are you funny?

175

176
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say I'm like, well, feral, but.

177
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but actually creative. I feel like, you know, what,

178
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: did you have any idea? I know, like we've talked

179
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: about motherhood, Jasmine's and mom too, did you have any idea?

180
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: Like you can't even imagine how your life would change?

181
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: What are some things that were unexpected for you that

182
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: you were like? I couldn't even have predicted.

183
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: This childbirth, that whole process. I was like, wait, because

184
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: I've seen all the videos, want and prepped, but then

185
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 4: everyone's scenario is just so unique you can't really prepare

186
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 4: for it until you go.

187
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: What were you like in there? Were you screaming where

188
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: I was.

189
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 4: Working on my phone, like because I had I was

190
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: releasing the song fuc K at the time, so I was.

191
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: Oh, my god, that's my son. I ain't gonna lie.

192
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Right before you walked in here, I said, you know

193
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: what my song is? Yeah? Period, that's how she got here?

194
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, actually honestly, and you know, so you were working,

195
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: I was working and then I had I actually had.

196
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: I was in labor for two days because she was

197
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 4: in shedn't want to come out. I was forty one weeks,

198
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 4: so I only had one more week left before they

199
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: had to pull her out. But I ended up having

200
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 4: an emergency sea section after two days of labor, so

201
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 4: it was.

202
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, I had emergency section too.

203
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

204
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 5: I want to ask you, as a mom, when is

205
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 5: the appropriate time when you're dating someone to introduce the

206
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 5: new man to your child.

207
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 4: That is a tough question. I haven't introduced anyone that

208
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: I've ever dated. I mean, it's really only been one

209
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 4: person since John, but there was no introduction, and I

210
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 4: think that probably is a conversation between me and or

211
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 4: the mom and the father. Yeah, like when is it comfortable?

212
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 4: And also when you know you're serious, because you don't

213
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 4: want to be introducing your child to multiple people, especially

214
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 4: with than two or three years. You're like, it's confusing

215
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 4: and your child will resent you. I remember my mom dating,

216
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 4: and not to be like throwing her under the bus,

217
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 4: but like when she introduced me to people, or when

218
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 4: I would sneak and see her dating someone, it just

219
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 4: like it felt like the I was jealous at the time,

220
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 4: but when she got married, I was like, Okay, this

221
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 4: is official. I understand it and I know that she's

222
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 4: serious and this person will be the one to last

223
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 4: until forever. So I think probably a discernment type thing.

224
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 4: M And like maybe a situation like that is dependent

225
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 4: on different for each person.

226
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, would you feel the same way about when your

227
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 5: daughter's father when he needs like the same like you

228
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 5: guys need to sit down.

229
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: It depends on the situation, like when you know.

230
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 4: I think so. But it's interesting because online the girls

231
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: are ruthless, like if I post if he posts pictures

232
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 4: of Hazel and he's like, oh, I'll be Hazel stepmom.

233
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 4: Like girls are like so rude. Yeah, I think I

234
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 4: feel like men have a little bit have been a

235
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 4: little bit more I see in the situation actually because

236
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 4: men aren't like I'm trying to be his stepdad.

237
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: No, they might DM you instead, and then you don't

238
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: open it because it might not be you know, men

239
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: are slick. They slide in them dms before or they

240
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: might just put some hard eyes.

241
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 4: They're in the requests. I think the ones that I'm

242
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 4: not interested in are in the request because I don't

243
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: follow them.

244
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: Something good And do you think that I love?

245
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: No, you're you're dating? Was it allegedly I think that

246
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: was brief and over. It's over already. Yeah, Grant opening

247
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: Grand Clothes.

248
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, we know, worsten to the opening because of paparazzi,

249
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 4: which I never experienced. We weren't even like together, we

250
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 4: never actually got together.

251

Speaker 3: Okay, so we forced it on y'all got it? Okay?

Speaker 1: Do you think dating is fun?

258
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 4: I do when when it's the right person, I feel

259
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 4: like it's a it's a it's a dirty world outside.

260

Speaker 4: a lot of men want to be courted the way

266

Speaker 4: that women want to be courted.

267
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: And also I feel like guys also a lot of

268
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: them don't want to be monogamous.

317
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 4: want someone who's serious and it's gonna just spoil me.

318
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 4: I want to be spoiled. I love honesty, baby girl, And.

319
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, I'm sure there are men out

320
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: there that I like.

321
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: I would do that for her, absolutely a chance, and

322
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: stop leaving me on read Oh.

323
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 5: Shoot, it's go on those requests, right, Okay, But how

324
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 5: would somebody gets your attention hmmcause that's hard to do.

325
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: I feel like it has to be. It has to be.

326
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 4: I like in person. Okay, I'm not mad at online

327
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 4: because there's people around the world, but maybe I wouldn't

328
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 4: meet unless we intentionally meet in person. But I don't

329
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 4: like if you send a friend to tell a friend

330
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 4: or like make a rumor like all of that. That

331
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 4: type of thing I don't respect. But if you're forward

332
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 4: with me, and then also I like to be pursued,

333
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 4: like you can persuade me. You can persuade me because

334
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 4: maybe I'm not interested at the time, or like I'm

335
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 4: too busy to really focus on it. But if you

336
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 4: keep trying. Maybe I like persistence okay, but also maybe

337
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 4: that might be the wrong messae because if it's from

338
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 4: the wrong person, who gets weird.

339
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: We don't like stalking, and we like persistence.

340
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: When I saw some interest, like if it feels like, okay,

341
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: there's a little shot here, we like to see that,

342
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: like you care because.

343
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: A lot of people will do what's easy. Right. If

344
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: it works, it works, If it doesn't, it doesn't.

345
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: We want to feel like you are dedicated to making
