Speaker 2: went to this restaurant called Filter for brunch on Sunday and.
Speaker 4: We got into it. Like our server ended up quitting
Speaker 4: because of our table. What yeah, but he wasn't mad
Speaker 4: at us. It was just like an issue with Like
Speaker 4: we ordered a Mimosa tower and he brought out the
Speaker 4: Mamosa tower.
Speaker 2: And it was full to the top. But it was pineapple,
Speaker 2: and I can't do pineapple.
Speaker 4: We asked for mango, so when he said it was pineapple,
Speaker 4: I was like, oh no, that's not what we ordered.
Speaker 4: So then he brought another tower out later. It took
Speaker 4: forever to get the tower, and then when it came out,
Speaker 4: it was half full. And I was like, well, why
Speaker 4: the first one was full to the top and this
Speaker 4: one is half full. But it's the same price. He
Speaker 4: was like, oh, I had put lemonade and I had
Speaker 4: mixed it up. I was like, so you made up mimosa.
Speaker 4: Mimosa is champagne and whatever juice. There's no lemonade and
Speaker 4: ship like that. So basically you diluted my mimosa tower.
Speaker 4: And then so I was like, can I speak to
Speaker 4: the man. So then the manager came over, but she
Speaker 4: didn't want to talk to me. She kept talking to
Speaker 4: him like as if I wasn't talking to her. You know,
Speaker 4: it was just it was just right, and she was
Speaker 4: like either they gonna buy it or they ate. Like
Speaker 4: she was really nasty, right, very nasty. But he was
Speaker 4: like really trying to help us. He was so nice
Speaker 4: to us, and they end up going in the bag
Speaker 4: arguing then that nigga come out with his cold, was like,
Speaker 4: fuck this motherfucker, y'all. I'll give this mother. This ain't
Speaker 4: my own source of income. This ain't how I'm gonna

Speaker 4: And I just got one more thing to say about Cleveland, Ohio.

Speaker 4: different kind of coal out there. It's that bone chilling coal.
Speaker 2: I had on fur coat.
Speaker 4: But let me tell you this, the bitches are also

Speaker 4: the bag and I was like, would you like to
Speaker 4: be on my let's talk about it.
Speaker 2: So she had to come.
Speaker 4: She was like, I'm I don't have on no coat

Speaker 1: Can tell haveing bitches on pay for healthcare. Bitch.
Speaker 3: I do not want to get sick. I'll be scared
Speaker 3: of getting sick because of them. Doctor Bill's be crazy
Speaker 3: as hell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do not want to get sick either. What
Speaker 2: health care? That was my weekend? And what coat? So
Speaker 2: I ain't got no coat?
Speaker 1: All right, y'all, let's get into stupid news for this week.
Speaker 3: Okay, our auntie Wendy Williams line. You know, it's reminded
Speaker 3: me of Whitney Houston. And I never ever ever watched
Speaker 3: Whitney Houston. And I hold Whitney Houston in a higher
Speaker 3: regard than Wendy. I'm sorry, I just do. I love
Speaker 3: her so much, but I remember when she had the
Speaker 3: TV show her and Bobby. I could never watch that shit.
Speaker 3: It's almost the equivalent to like Beyonce Tomorrow being a
Speaker 3: crackhead for people, right, That's who I That's how I
Speaker 3: saw Whitney Houston. It broke my heart to know this
Speaker 3: is how she went out. So to watch this now
Speaker 3: like Wendy Williams, like somebody who was at the top
Speaker 3: of her career.
Speaker 1: In media for many, many years. She's an icon. Really.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, it's sad. It's sad to see and it's scary. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I've only watched the clips online. I told Taylor, our producer,
Speaker 3: that I would be watching the show. I was supposed
Speaker 3: to watch it yesterday, but I just couldn't get around
Speaker 3: to it.
Speaker 1: I kept seeing the clips on Instagram.
Speaker 2: But honestly, does she even really agree to.
Speaker 4: This documentary because it does not paint her in the
Speaker 4: best light, like from the clips that I've seen because
Speaker 4: I didn't watch it fully, but it just doesn't even
Speaker 4: seem beneficial to show.
Speaker 2: Her in this condition. It doesn't like, how is she
Speaker 2: benefit for this?
Speaker 1: So I guess her state needs money.
Speaker 3: Apparently somebody needs money, because this is exploitation. As far
Speaker 3: as I'm concerned, we are exploiting an icon who has
Speaker 3: mental illness, drug abuse, a history of drug abuse, and
Speaker 3: alcohol abuse, all these different things that are now like
Speaker 3: crashing down on her. She has some type of thyroid issue.
Speaker 3: She allegedly has dementia. Now I could tell she kind
Speaker 3: of has to mention in these videos because one minute
Speaker 3: she's nice and the next minute she's apologizing.
Speaker 1: In the next minute she's mean.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: This isn't good at all.
Speaker 3: And I could just imagine that goddamn ex husband of hers,
Speaker 3: He's just sitting back, like you the reason why this
Speaker 3: lady damn health is declining. As far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 3: I can't watch it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't watch it either. It just looks very sad,
Speaker 2: and I just.
Speaker 4: I hope like her condition and all these things turn
Speaker 4: around and like we can see some good things from
Speaker 4: her again soon.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: No, I think this is it, but I don't want
Speaker 3: to watch the end for her. I think this is
Speaker 3: definitely it a lot of times when people get demnia.
Speaker 3: In particular, I believe it's probably medically induced dementia like
Speaker 3: pills and stuff like that. People being on a different
Speaker 3: lot of different medicines for many years, their health starts declining.
Speaker 3: So we're watching the end of somebody.
Speaker 4: We don't know that because the guy that I serve
Speaker 4: would turn things around. Baby, you just gotta believe she
Speaker 4: might turn it all around. And we just had this
Speaker 4: whole redemption story. But like how she goes out of here,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So we're gonna keep her.
Speaker 3: And she believes, you know, that's what is depending on,
Speaker 3: So right, I don't know. Y'all, Prayers for win to
Speaker 3: Wendy Williams, that's all I can say.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, all right, Porsche will y'all our
Speaker 4: good sister did a podcast festival with us last year.
Speaker 4: The new festival is coming around this year, y'all come
Speaker 4: out April twenty seventh.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be lit. But let's talk about what Porsche
Speaker 2: got going on.
Speaker 3: Okay, a lot of people don't understand why Porsche is
Speaker 3: getting divorced, and they think it's like a whole like
Speaker 3: ploy because she's gonna be going back on Real Housewives
Speaker 3: of Atlanta. But if anybody was in Porsche's position, they
Speaker 3: would be trying to run right now too. And I
Speaker 3: saw a headline today that says she's really trying to
Speaker 3: make sure their prenupt gets enforced, meaning my shit is mine,
Speaker 3: your shit is yours. Because he has some real serious
Speaker 3: legal issues, y'all. This nigga was committing credit card fraud
Speaker 3: in the eighties, y'all. I know they used to like
Speaker 3: use a low machine and take an imprint in your
Speaker 3: fucking card back then. Like how the fuck doing credit
Speaker 3: card fraud in the eighties?
Speaker 2: Bitch is wild?
Speaker 1: And Porsche would have been ten ten years old at
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 2: Learning her time stas and not even ten money.
Speaker 3: Cause shit, what I always reference like Hurricane Hugo when
Speaker 3: I try to think about a timeline of how old
Speaker 3: I was when something was happening. Porsche probably wasn't even
Speaker 3: ten years old at the time when he was committing
Speaker 3: a credit card fraud. But he I don't know if
Speaker 3: Simon uh Gavadia is his legal name, but apparently he
Speaker 3: was deported back in the eighties and nineties under whatever
Speaker 3: his name is, right, he came back into the States
Speaker 3: using alias, and he was approved for a visa under
Speaker 3: some type of agricultural or some type of you know,
Speaker 3: there's different reason you come for school work, whatever, So
Speaker 3: he got approved the state in the country. So what
Speaker 3: he's saying to the US government now is like, Hey,
Speaker 3: I've been here all this time, I'm a business owner,
Speaker 3: I've been paying taxes, and y'all ain't catch the mistake.
Speaker 1: That's your fault. So he's still trying to get citizenship.
Speaker 3: And maybe Porsche just was blindsided by all of this,
Speaker 3: But any attorney would say, get the fuck up out
Speaker 3: of there.
Speaker 4: Right, even if they're gonna stay together, just don't be
Speaker 4: connected legally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I can understand.
Speaker 3: That because that's gonna bleed over into her brand and
Speaker 3: then too her finance and her money. Yeah, yeah, I know,
Speaker 3: I know Dennis. I know Dennis over there with them
Speaker 3: hot dogs like, m no, you.
Speaker 2: See failing well.
Speaker 4: I don't even know if it was a dish to Porsche,
Speaker 4: but it was kind of like she looked real tipper
Speaker 4: in the restaurant, like, so, what happened?
Speaker 2: What happened today? I don't know.
Speaker 4: That's how she was looking. She looked very delighted in
Speaker 4: other people's musines. I'm gonna keep my mouth shut on
Speaker 4: that that one.
Speaker 3: But I can only recall when when uh Porsche came
Speaker 3: out about being engaged Simon or being in a relationship
Speaker 3: with Simon, And I remember it was her Simon, Dennis
Speaker 3: little Polar and a picture together and I'm like, yo,
Speaker 3: you was just with Dennis.
Speaker 2: She'ld go.
Speaker 4: Remember my mama had a cookout one time and she
Speaker 4: had like two of her ex boyfriends there.
Speaker 2: They're like, lady. I was like, oh you are bad, but.
Speaker 4: Mama here, Sarah, you want something else to drink?
Speaker 2: The next nigga, I'm gonna go to the story, get
Speaker 2: some more ice. You get you want some of them?
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, you my badmit, you here everybody getting along.
Speaker 3: You're all listen them ladies. Back then, they was nice,
Speaker 3: wholesome women. When I tell you that the few niggas
Speaker 3: my mama knew in life. It's all at my mama
Speaker 3: house one night. I might have probably been like seventeen eighteen.
Speaker 3: It's like my daddy, my mama, ex boyfriend, the current husband,
Speaker 3: and some ni I guess she dated back when she
Speaker 3: was young.
Speaker 2: From New York.
Speaker 1: God blessed dad. He's dead.
Speaker 3: Two of them dead now, actually all in the house
Speaker 3: at the same time.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what is happening?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we was tripping out watching that shit. Everybody laughing
Speaker 4: at your I like you boy, like, uh off a
Speaker 4: color purple where you had your way?
Speaker 2: I had a mind, but we had an No, I'm
Speaker 2: talking about they having no color purple. Not to my mama.
Speaker 2: She cuts me out.
Speaker 4: Goodness, no, baby, did you see Cam Newton over the weekends?
Speaker 2: He looks strong.
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is a goddamn warlock. Okay.
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to figure out how to fuck that
Speaker 3: hat stayed on, and I think the trick to beating
Speaker 3: him is knocking the hat off.
Speaker 2: See see what I think it is.
Speaker 4: I think he got the ring from Lord to Rings
Speaker 4: on his hand, and that motherfucker got some extra power
Speaker 4: because he Dad sure got a load of lord of
Speaker 4: the ring's hand.
Speaker 3: If you want to beat Cam Newton, you got to
Speaker 3: get the hat off. It's a hat or a ring somewhere.
Speaker 3: That's the only way. Because how you dragging. You're dragging
Speaker 3: grown men. And then you got another grown man in
Speaker 3: the headlock, and I thought they were teenagers.
Speaker 4: How you had three grown men in the headlock at
Speaker 4: one time, It's crazy, he said three.
Speaker 2: It was four.
Speaker 4: No, No, I'm just saying it looked like three niggas
Speaker 4: was in a headlock at once. And he was like,
Speaker 4: get back, little nigga. You trying to play with a
Speaker 4: real dig right now on him.
Speaker 3: So apparently, so two of the guys came out, and
Speaker 3: I think they're brothers. So Cam Newton has a football camp,
Speaker 3: so this is an annual thing. And this guy was saying,
Speaker 3: how he's known, he's been around Cam Newton for five
Speaker 3: years now.
Speaker 1: He's always got an attitude, real snarky.
Speaker 3: I mean, just last year, some people got killed at
Speaker 3: a kid's football game, Like a former NFL football player
Speaker 3: and his brother shot some niggas at a kid's football game.
Speaker 1: Like, people take this shit really serious, right, But.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine Cam Newton being rich as he is
Speaker 3: and having his camp. This my shit, and we know
Speaker 3: how black people like to flexing each other, right, I
Speaker 3: can imagine him talking hell of shit to these other
Speaker 3: grown and son and these other grown as men, and
Speaker 3: they probably got tired of it because the one dude
Speaker 3: said he walked up and Cam Newton had his hand
Speaker 3: on his brother.
Speaker 1: So that's how shit shit got loose.
Speaker 2: Nigga gets no monkey ass in the back like talking
Speaker 2: to niggas like that.
Speaker 3: Like these ain't grown ass people. So I don't know, listen,
Speaker 3: start your own shit. Don't fuck with Cam Newton if
Speaker 3: y if he's talking shit to y'all for five years
Speaker 3: straight while you still showing up.
Speaker 1: At that point, why are you showing up for the abuse?
Speaker 4: So and here's the bad thing is like the kids
Speaker 4: were watching, and so this is how y'all teaching the
Speaker 4: children to handle your differences. So that's not it wasn't
Speaker 4: a good look at all for neither of the parties
Speaker 4: because you know, they had their own business that's supposed
Speaker 4: to be outreaching the community. So y'all got to do
Speaker 4: better and handle y'all differences as me And if y'all
Speaker 4: gonna fight, get in the ring and do it for charity,
Speaker 4: make some money part.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't even think them niggas want to
Speaker 3: fight him on and off the the court.
Speaker 1: The ring.
Speaker 4: They weren't scared though. I'll say that they weren't scared.
Speaker 4: They weren't running.
Speaker 2: They was with all the smoke, Like, don't play with them.
Speaker 2: So Cam talk.
Speaker 4: Even if they got they ass whoop. I can respect
Speaker 4: that they you know, stood on business.
Speaker 3: Look that nigga probably be talking shit because he know
Speaker 3: he could beat everybody up.
Speaker 1: That's like somebody with a gun, Like they act different,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: So he like, man, I could beat all these little
Speaker 3: niggas up because they was little niggas, little.
Speaker 4: Grown men in comparison in comparison to him, because there
Speaker 4: was probably like average size, being honestly right, And here
Speaker 4: comes Cam Newton.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't be doing that type of shit in
Speaker 1: front of the kids.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: The thing is people want to fight.
Speaker 3: We be punishing kids for ship that we still do
Speaker 3: as adults all the time. Like sometimes you gotta sometimes
Speaker 3: you gotta do that, man, it's just the only way sometimes.
Speaker 1: But you want to try to do things.
Speaker 3: As politically correct as possible, especially if you're hosting a
Speaker 3: children's camp.
Speaker 2: You can't be out there fighting. What the hell?
Speaker 3: I'll never bring my son back to the Actually need
Speaker 3: to ask all of them in Cam.
Speaker 2: Newton, including Cam for that, because what do you teaching?
Speaker 3: I always say adults need to ask what more than kids. Yep, absolutely, y'all.
Speaker 4: We have one of my good friends, Lexie Johnson. She
Speaker 4: is a influencer and she's done great things with her
Speaker 4: social media in a matter of months. And we want
Speaker 4: to learn. We want y'all to learn too, so we
Speaker 4: can all get this money together. Stay tuned, will be
Speaker 4: right back.
Speaker 3: All right, y'all were back from break and listen. We
Speaker 3: have very special guests when we talked back this week.
Speaker 3: She is an owner and operator of one of my
Speaker 3: favorite new favorite uh Instagram pages.
Speaker 1: Y'all. It's super lit. She's doing all the home shit
Speaker 1: and occasionally.
Speaker 3: She showed like a little bit of ass and these
Speaker 3: lower shorts I like to see anyway. Okay, we got
Speaker 3: tab bad hole girl, Lexi Johnson. We talked back this week.
Speaker 1: Hey girl, hey girl, Hey friends.
Speaker 6: Thank y'all for having me.
Speaker 1: I'd be looking for the boyfriend and the shorts. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's be very clear.
Speaker 4: So Lexi was on the show season two, on the
Speaker 4: friendship episode with my other friend Mekka, we had that
Speaker 4: conversation about friendships. But we have her back because since
Speaker 4: the last time y'all saw her, she has taken her
Speaker 4: Instagram and completely transformed it from five thousand followers to
Speaker 4: almost two hundred thousand followers in a matter of just
Speaker 4: a two to three months. So we wanted to talk
Speaker 4: to her about that because one thing we do, as
Speaker 4: we talked back, is talk but when it comes to
Speaker 4: our social media. So I'm sure a lot of y'all
Speaker 4: can appreciate this conversation we're about to have with her
Speaker 4: so we can help build our brands.
Speaker 3: And just to add on to that, y'all, listen, we
Speaker 3: in the matrix. It's a digital world. So we got
Speaker 3: AI robots taking over traditional jobs. Millennials, Listen, we are
Speaker 3: now the product. So either you're gonna get with the
Speaker 3: program or you're gonna get left behind. Okay, so are
Speaker 3: you gonna watch it? So are you gonna be the
Speaker 3: content or the consumer? At this point is where we're at.
Speaker 4: Right, So right, our first question for you is, all right,
Speaker 4: you were sitting there and you had five thousand followers
Speaker 4: and you was like, I'm about to turn this shit up,
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna turn it up quick.
Speaker 2: What was the thought process?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 2: How did that start?
Speaker 5: So you know, I started on TikTok first, So about
Speaker 5: six months before I was posting on TikTok, and my
Speaker 5: TikTok went from nothing to over five hundred k in
Speaker 5: the six months. So I was like, but Instagram was
Speaker 5: a different beast to me. So I'm like, do I
Speaker 5: really want to post on here where everybody knows me
Speaker 5: and I can be judged?
Speaker 6: And what if they all see me fail?
Speaker 5: And what if the people on Instagram are like the
Speaker 5: same things people on TikTok like?
Speaker 6: And you know, I'm going back and forth in my head.
Speaker 5: So I'm like, one day, we had actually had a
Speaker 5: personal thing that went on and it kind of made
Speaker 5: me open my eyes like, Okay, you know what, none
Speaker 5: of that matters. It's time to go on here to
Speaker 5: do what you gotta do. So I gave myself thirty days.
Speaker 5: I'm like, you're gonna do a thirty day challenge, period.
Speaker 5: So I took and repurposed the content that I had
Speaker 5: on TikTok. I mosted on Instagram for thirty days and
Speaker 5: mind you just started in the end of November, so
Speaker 5: I skipped the holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, the New Year
Speaker 5: because we'll post on those. I don't know, So yeah,
Speaker 5: I just kind of was I told myself because I
Speaker 5: saw what happened from TikTok, and I know Instagram has
Speaker 5: even more opportunities, so I'm like, it's time to get
Speaker 5: with it.
Speaker 6: It's time to go.
Speaker 2: So so okay, let's let's move backwards then building your TikTok,
Speaker 2: Like how did you start with that? Like what was
Speaker 2: the inspiration to like create these videos and how did
Speaker 2: you choose your content?
Speaker 5: So you know, I'm an investor, so I play a
Speaker 5: lot in the stock market and everything, and at one
Speaker 5: point that was the only thing I did.
Speaker 6: That was my main source of income.
Speaker 3: That was it.
Speaker 5: So you know, the market got real volatile and I
Speaker 5: just was kind of in a place where I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 5: what am I going to do? So my man was like,
Speaker 5: I got everything. You go ahead, figure out what you're
Speaker 5: passionate about, figure out what.
Speaker 6: You let to do do that. So I took my
Speaker 6: time and I just clean.
Speaker 2: My first of all, let's cut you off right there.
Speaker 3: Don't see what happens when a woman is left if
Speaker 3: the rest of their femininity, y'all know, because that sexual
Speaker 3: energy is creative energy. So when a nigga paying bills, okay,
Speaker 3: just just we could create some major shit, right. Men
Speaker 3: don't realize how the divine feminine works and all these things.
Speaker 1: But go ahead, tam, Sorry I got excited for a second.
Speaker 4: No, No, you just said what I was gonna say.
Speaker 4: So that's exactly what I was thinking. But go ahead,
Speaker 4: keep going.
Speaker 5: So when he said that, I'm like, okay, cool. So
Speaker 5: basically what I did was I just I like to
Speaker 5: take care of my home.
Speaker 6: So I'm like, okay, I love to cook every night.
Speaker 5: I cook every breakfast, I cook lunch, dinner, he makes breakfast.
Speaker 6: So I'm like, okay, I like this life, Like this
Speaker 6: is good.
Speaker 5: I just you know, cook, got me a gym membership
Speaker 5: at Lifetime and it's like the super big spots.
Speaker 6: Super nice.
Speaker 5: So I'm like, Okay, I spend most of my day
Speaker 5: there and I go home, take care of everything, make
Speaker 5: sure I have my clothes and shift, which is like
Speaker 5: you know, just cleaning around the house and make sure
Speaker 5: everything is everything before I get up.
Speaker 6: Cool. So then I'm like hmmm.
Speaker 5: I kept telling Tammy was one of them, kept telling
Speaker 5: her and the rest of my friends, like, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: post on TikTok, I'm a post. Why not we So
Speaker 5: everywhere we went to basketball games, I'm recording, I'm going
Speaker 5: home and editing it. Never posted it.
Speaker 6: I don't know why.
Speaker 5: I kept making up excuses like, Okay, when i have
Speaker 5: forty videos ready in my drafts, I'm gonna start posting,
Speaker 5: or when I get to this certain amount of followers
Speaker 5: from like posting stories, then i'm'll post.
Speaker 6: Like none of that ever happened.
Speaker 4: So no, let me interject where we went to a
Speaker 4: football game and LEXI took my phone and made seventeen
Speaker 4: thousand videos of the night in my phone and then
Speaker 4: we did nothing with it.
Speaker 2: I still got them, you can now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I always said I was gonna post, but I'm like,
Speaker 5: I'm thinking in the back of my head, who really
Speaker 5: cares about my life? Which really nobody did. Nobody did
Speaker 5: because before you build a black form, like nobody cares
Speaker 5: what you wake up and do. But when you're giving
Speaker 5: people something to learn, or you're giving them some entertainment
Speaker 5: or you know, teaching in any type of way, then okay,
Speaker 5: it's it's more of a reason for people to save
Speaker 5: your content share your content.
Speaker 6: So cool.
Speaker 5: I'm like, one day, I think my first video I
Speaker 5: posted was a reset. So I'm just cleaning my house,
Speaker 5: something I do every day, and I posted it and
Speaker 5: it did really well, so I'm like, okay, So then.
Speaker 1: I keep.
Speaker 6: Cleaning the house.
Speaker 5: So then I made a hot road, something I make
Speaker 5: at least twice a month.
Speaker 1: I see, y'all eat too much fucking meat.
Speaker 4: I love it, all right, So let me ask you this,
Speaker 4: but let me interject. Well, you're like cleaning the house,
Speaker 4: like you stopped vacuuming to set the camera up over here,
Speaker 4: and then you vacuum one section and stop and set
Speaker 4: the camera over and vacuum another.
Speaker 6: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: I know. I was gonna.
Speaker 1: Y'all using, Yeah, okay, go ahead.
Speaker 5: I have two phones, I have two cameras, so I
Speaker 5: may not move my stuff around quite as much as
Speaker 5: the next person. But yes, especially with the content that
Speaker 5: I do, I like to change my angles up and
Speaker 5: keep it interesting.
Speaker 6: So yeah, you do have to.
Speaker 4: So when so you have four cameras recording it at
Speaker 4: the same time, so you don't have to really stop.
Speaker 2: What you're doing. You just recording from every angle in
Speaker 2: the house. That makes this.
Speaker 1: Production though, you see.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and when I first mind you, it might take
Speaker 5: three hours in your house, but when you make content's
Speaker 5: gonna take you a good six seven. But when I
Speaker 5: first started phone, so I put put my phone up
Speaker 5: on my chopod and I would walk into my kitchen
Speaker 5: and then I would move my phone, and then I'll
Speaker 5: walk into my kitchen again, and then I moved my
Speaker 5: phone and I walk in my kitchen again, and the move.
Speaker 6: We got three angles. But I just did.
Speaker 5: And you have to remember what foot you start off
Speaker 5: with when you're walking, Like, yeah, that's that's.
Speaker 6: What I would.
Speaker 5: I don't do that anymore because I feel like I
Speaker 5: was overthinking it.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's a it's a whole production.
Speaker 2: It really is. And that's the part that because it's work.
Speaker 3: But when you're not working and this becomes a job, Okay, understandable.
Speaker 3: I could definitely post more content. I just don't like people.
Speaker 3: It's so intrusive social media, like they want to be
Speaker 3: every place with you, and I think that's an tammy issue,
Speaker 3: Like we private people, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 3: we public and private private at the same time, it's.
Speaker 5: What you make it be private too. I've always been
Speaker 5: private and still don't nobody know nothing about me.
Speaker 2: So we know they know you make pot rolls twice
Speaker 2: a month, but they.
Speaker 3: Know they know what I'm allowed them to allow them
Speaker 3: to know.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, how do you deal with like any negative comments?
Speaker 4: Because at this point, I know you're getting all types
Speaker 4: of comments, So how are you dealing with the negative girl?
Speaker 5: So I had a salad jar video, right, and that
Speaker 5: video went super like it probably got sixty million views total.
Speaker 5: And once it gets to that point, it starts going
Speaker 5: to different countries and countries that might look at things
Speaker 5: a little bit different than we do. So when it
Speaker 5: starts to get to those different countries, then it starts
Speaker 5: to get kind of crazy. So, like, I had long
Speaker 5: nails in some of my cooking videos, and they would
Speaker 5: bring my race into it, like why you how do you?
Speaker 5: How do you wipe your black ass with them nails?
Speaker 4: Dang bitch is about a salad and then I would
Speaker 4: never eat it unless.
Speaker 2: You try to toss my salad. Get out my com yo.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: So last week my homegirl, she was telling me how
Speaker 3: good RB's fish sandwiches. And I don't eat fast food,
Speaker 3: but I love a good ash good ass a fish sandwich.
Speaker 3: I used to get them all the time from Berger.
Speaker 3: Came back in the day, so I go. I went
Speaker 3: to different rbs. The first Arby's I went to, it
Speaker 3: was a black woman. Everybody was black. It was a
Speaker 3: black woman in there with her plastic gloves on with
Speaker 3: the finger nails coming through the glove. Bitch, she's picking
Speaker 3: up a lettuce with the singer nails. Imagine gloves on,
Speaker 3: but the nails are coming.
Speaker 1: Through the glove.
Speaker 2: What's the point of the doing? I said, all in
Speaker 2: the wrong Arby's about face.
Speaker 6: Nobody been great, But if you are certain people, God,
Speaker 6: you know.
Speaker 4: Like these this link okay, right, this is but that's
Speaker 4: not coming through no glove. That's not coming through no gloves.
Speaker 1: No, what's the purpose? The nails is the filthiest part?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Sorry? Quick?
Speaker 4: Anytime you go on to fast food, anytime you eat
Speaker 4: fast food, you just got to pray over it, and
Speaker 4: honestly because and pray extra hard.
Speaker 2: Could you never know who they're making your ship? All right,
Speaker 2: back on topic, So wipe your but how you wipe
Speaker 2: your butt nigga.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, pretty, that's what they said, right. So so
Speaker 6: I mean.
Speaker 5: To the negative comments, A lot of times I ignore them.
Speaker 5: I'm going to comment back to way more people that
Speaker 5: have something positive to say than negative. I might respond
Speaker 5: every now and again, like I try to respond to
Speaker 5: anyone that comments on something in the first twenty four hours,
Speaker 5: but after it's I start to see like the negative
Speaker 5: ones roll in. It take a good special one for
Speaker 5: me to have to come bite that the time the
Speaker 5: people in your comments got you. So you really don't
Speaker 5: even have to do.
Speaker 2: That because be somebody else ready to argue for you.
Speaker 6: Comments are gonna get the most played.
Speaker 5: I don't know what it is, like they could be
Speaker 5: in a thousand comments, thousands of comments, but for somehow
Speaker 5: people know.
Speaker 6: That shit there and they're gonna come. They're gonna get there.
Speaker 4: So any time like it's a negative comment for me,
Speaker 4: sometimes it'll be somebody defending me.
Speaker 2: But I'll be ready to be like step Aside, I
Speaker 2: got the pens.
Speaker 4: It was a Friday, Like I just went to your
Speaker 4: page and but I got all kinds of ship.
Speaker 1: Tammy was calling a nigga kids ugly one day or
Speaker 1: him ugly.
Speaker 3: She was like this, you and your kids like commenting
Speaker 3: on this nigga ship from we talked back.
Speaker 2: I went to his page. I went to his page
Speaker 2: and responded to his comments.
Speaker 4: On my page on his page because who you call
Speaker 4: it ugly? I don't remember that part. But I don't remember.
Speaker 4: I don't recall say anything about children.
Speaker 2: Like how do you maintain your audience engagement?
Speaker 3: So you talked about like people clapping back for you?
Speaker 3: Do you do you communicate with your people that commonly.
Speaker 1: Content?
Speaker 6: Oh? Yeah, all the time.
Speaker 5: I on Instagram, I try to comment to literally every
Speaker 5: single person that comments in the first day.
Speaker 6: And then after that.
Speaker 5: I mean, it depends on the comment, but same with
Speaker 5: TikTok for the most part. But yeah, I'm always engaging
Speaker 5: and if they comment on my story, I try to
Speaker 5: respond to that. People that comment in my dms, and
Speaker 5: you know it might I try to respond to everybody,
Speaker 5: especially when it's something that needs to be responded to.
Speaker 2: You know, how many hours a day do you feel
Speaker 2: like you spend on social media?
Speaker 6: A lot?
Speaker 4: Like between creating content, posting comment and how many how
Speaker 4: many hours.
Speaker 2: A day.
Speaker 1: A shift?
Speaker 2: Do you feel like a slave to this sheet is
Speaker 2: what I'm asking.
Speaker 5: The good thing about it is I didn't come in
Speaker 5: doing something that was like a job for me. I
Speaker 5: came in doing something that I already do, so I
Speaker 5: don't feel like a slave to it. But but I'm
Speaker 5: on it a lot, but I used to be on
Speaker 5: it a lot anyway, So if I had to put
Speaker 5: it in the hours, I would say maybe probably five straight,
Speaker 5: like just actually being on the app.
Speaker 3: A day a day, yeah, including the content creation because
Speaker 3: you okay, so you don't post every day, right, the
Speaker 3: creation part, Okay, just being on the apps, so we
Speaker 3: talking eight hours a day essentially a shift.
Speaker 2: It's with content too, yeah.
Speaker 3: But it makes more sense when you are making money
Speaker 3: off of It's like how I feel about clubs now,
Speaker 3: Like I really don't want to go unless I'm.
Speaker 1: Get paid to be there.
Speaker 3: So Instagram social media is sort of the same thing.
Speaker 3: Like I haven't I don't have the formerly yet right
Speaker 3: in place to make money on it, but I'm definitely
Speaker 3: on that bitch all day regardless. I can look at
Speaker 3: my phone right now and I'm pretty sure I have
Speaker 3: a two hour timer on my thing, and every day
Speaker 3: I'm hitting to add a fifteen minutes and fifteen minutes
Speaker 3: When I'm on it.
Speaker 5: I'm not rolling though, like I people, things will be
Speaker 5: happening on the shaved room and all types of I
Speaker 5: don't know nothing about none of that.
Speaker 6: That's not what I'm looking at.
Speaker 4: So but meanwhile, I'd be laying there at three in
Speaker 4: the morning watching a rug get shampoo like and think
Speaker 4: about how how did this rug get this dirty?
Speaker 2: And I can't wait to see what it looks like
Speaker 2: after be.
Speaker 4: Wasted twenty minutes of my time watching so white man
Speaker 4: shampoo a rug in a garage?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 6: Those are those videos keep you entertain for? I don't
Speaker 6: know what it is.
Speaker 3: The Hoyers I see Hoiters are now on excuse me,
Speaker 3: go ahead, pronounce it.
Speaker 2: I'm waiting for.
Speaker 3: There's hoiters on Instagram.
Speaker 2: Some of them are in other countries.
Speaker 3: Like they're literally like sweeping mud out of a house,
Speaker 3: things like that, and they have a lot of followers.
Speaker 3: People just want to see them clean up the craziest
Speaker 3: looking houses.
Speaker 2: I follow this.
Speaker 4: Black woman who was going through depression and she like
Speaker 4: posts like how she's cleaning her house to getting her
Speaker 4: and she has kids in the family and it's a
Speaker 4: nice house, but it was just filthy because she was
Speaker 4: just not tuned in with, you know, that part of
Speaker 4: her life for whatever reason. But this bitch been cleaning
Speaker 4: that house for at least a year now, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: all right now, I think at this point you are
Speaker 4: dirty in your house to clean it for content at
Speaker 4: this point.
Speaker 6: Because that's the only thing people came to follow her for.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, yeah, so fuck it up and clean it.
Speaker 6: Up, right as It's nice to have a low variety.
Speaker 4: So how do you like cultivate h like brand opportunities?
Speaker 4: Like the first brand that did they reach out to
Speaker 4: you and you were like, oh shit, or was you
Speaker 4: like reaching out like how can I monetize this more?
Speaker 2: How did that happen?
Speaker 5: So I have yet to have a brand deal that
Speaker 5: I reached out to, and it's not for lack of
Speaker 5: try it. It's for the most part, the bigger brands,
Speaker 5: I feel like they're gonna find you. But you know,
Speaker 5: pitching yourself works, it does. But the first one that
Speaker 5: I did reached out to me and I had absolutely
Speaker 5: no idea what I was doing. I ended up making
Speaker 5: a friend named Rob. He's Rob Keenan on TikTok. He's
Speaker 5: great anyway, met him and he was already working. He
Speaker 5: had a manager, and he was kind of helping me
Speaker 5: with the things I'm supposed to be saying my pricing,
Speaker 5: And at the time we had the same amount of followers,
Speaker 5: so he pretty much helped me through that whole thing,
Speaker 5: Like he gave me a whole template of what kind
Speaker 5: of email I should be sending back and instead of
Speaker 5: you know a lot of people will sending a media
Speaker 5: kit immediately like here's my rate, this, this and that,
Speaker 5: when really you should be asking what's their budget.
Speaker 6: Sometimes I can tell you their budget.
Speaker 5: Until you tell your rate, but you should always try
Speaker 5: to get their budget first. But yeah, I have no
Speaker 5: idea about any of that, and the first few probably
Speaker 5: still to this day, I'm probably.
Speaker 6: Getting fucked over a little bit.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie to you because I don't have
Speaker 5: a manager and I don't want one.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 5: I'd rather like set my pricing at what feels like
Speaker 5: it makes sense to me, as opposed to Okay, they're
Speaker 5: like managers reach out to you all the time, like,
Speaker 5: you know, well, we're gonna take twenty thirty mm. I
Speaker 5: could have made that by myself. If you're gonna take
Speaker 5: all that money off on top, what the hell. So yeah,
Speaker 5: first Brandal reach out to me.
Speaker 1: And what was that brand?
Speaker 6: I'm not sure if it was bloom.
Speaker 5: Which which is more of a like, okay, do this
Speaker 5: many videos a mom? I don't even know if I
Speaker 5: can say that.
Speaker 1: Oh, like what their whole little setup is?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me think real quick what you said?
Speaker 1: What the fuck did you sign? She don't even know.
Speaker 1: She's just over there and make a content, sign the
Speaker 1: papers and get the check.
Speaker 2: I had that.
Speaker 1: Okay, do you do Facebook as well?
Speaker 3: Because I know Facebook bus reel checks out like Facebook itself.
Speaker 5: Yes, my my Instagram videos go on to Facebook, but
Speaker 5: I don't post on Facebook, so a lot of people
Speaker 5: know me Facebook, and I had no idea, Like, I
Speaker 5: don't know because when I try to post a video
Speaker 5: on Facebook reels or whatever, they are excuse me. They
Speaker 5: did not do well. But when it comes to the contracts,
Speaker 5: my mom and my stepdad look over all my contracts
Speaker 5: for me.
Speaker 2: So I my stepdad, you have a team.
Speaker 6: He is now my manager.
Speaker 5: But he has learned the in and outs of everything
Speaker 5: because he's reading these contrasts. He's like, Okay, this sounds good,
Speaker 5: but now he's learning, Okay, this is what you should
Speaker 5: be making and you're supposed to be making a lot
Speaker 5: more off of this than you are.
Speaker 6: And I'm like, okay, cool, well you got it. Break
Speaker 6: it down, here's your percent.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: So how do you How do you plan content? Like
Speaker 4: do you just be like laying in the bed like
Speaker 4: that pot roll is gonna go bad? Let me go
Speaker 4: ahead and cook that ship.
Speaker 6: Like so I have.
Speaker 5: I have a physical planner, I have a digital planner
Speaker 5: on my iPad and have my notebook. So on my
Speaker 5: physical planner, I put all the brand deals that I
Speaker 5: have to do, what they the drafts are do and
Speaker 5: when they're supposed to be posted on my other on
Speaker 5: my digital planner so it seems it's more fun.
Speaker 6: And I have all the stickers and all the pictures
Speaker 6: and stuff.
Speaker 5: I kind of break it down like, Okay, I'm gonna
Speaker 5: do one of each of these a week. If I
Speaker 5: can get like three four videos out a week, that's perfect.
Speaker 5: So I'll go on my planner and I plan. Probably
Speaker 5: I like to plan the whole month, but it never
Speaker 5: works out out like that.
Speaker 6: So I plan the week, I plan the.
Speaker 5: Month, and then I go back and edit the weeks
Speaker 5: because it never works, but you kind of get into
Speaker 5: a routine. So like on Mondays, I post what I
Speaker 5: eat in the days. On Tuesdays, I'll post like the
Speaker 5: dinner from what I eat in a day, but a
Speaker 5: little bit like more on death of the dinner. And
Speaker 5: then Wednesday or Thursday I'll post a vlogs. So I
Speaker 5: just I already kind of have a rhythm of it,
Speaker 5: but if I were new to it, I would plan
Speaker 5: on how many days you're gonna post every week and
Speaker 5: just try to depending on your niche or whatever it
Speaker 5: is that you know you're I don't I don't really
Speaker 5: believe in a niche.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 5: But depending on what it is that you post, maybe
Speaker 5: write out in your notebook. That's what my notebook is
Speaker 5: for details about what it is that everything's coming about.
Speaker 5: But like fifty to one hundred things that you can post,
Speaker 5: and there's that many things that you can post.
Speaker 6: There's more than that. But after you do that, then
Speaker 6: you start to put it in your plan.
Speaker 5: You're like, okay, number one, Okay, that sounds good, I
Speaker 5: want to put this on this day, and then you're
Speaker 5: just trying to say that schedule and if you can't,
Speaker 5: then you just revamp it a little bit every week.
Speaker 6: Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: It's not like work a job, it's a real job.
Speaker 3: Lexi's Instagram is Lexi is Lexi two Eyes Johnson. Right,
Speaker 3: So if y'all go on her Instagram page, it's lit okay,
Speaker 3: and it's very very nice.
Speaker 1: Like these videos are to me top notch?
Speaker 3: Right, So what are the best practices for creating visually
Speaker 3: appealing Instagram posts? Because the last thing you posted you
Speaker 3: added diet app thing, And now I'm like, how do
Speaker 3: fun I use canvas? I know how to use these things.
Speaker 3: I know, like, how what are we doing? How many
Speaker 3: different programs are you using to produce this content? We
Speaker 3: got four cameras, you got two phones, two cameras, How
Speaker 3: many programs?
Speaker 1: How are you creating this dope as content?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Because I just want to say, like, when I be
Speaker 4: trying before you start, when I.
Speaker 2: Be trying to create content, I'm looking like that it.
Speaker 3: Bad?
Speaker 2: Auntie back up, Bryan.
Speaker 5: So the best way to get your content top notch
Speaker 5: is to just post it.
Speaker 6: Don't keep practicing. I mean that's what I did.
Speaker 5: I did practice before I posted, but I didn't actually
Speaker 5: start learning anything until I post it. Okay, but you
Speaker 5: don't need two phones, three cameras, five to ten, none
Speaker 5: of that. You need one phone. You don't even need
Speaker 5: a camera. Even if you're on YouTube. You can literally
Speaker 5: make a YouTube video with your I phone.
Speaker 6: Just don't use an Android.
Speaker 3: God, don't look just they have the best cameras. Though
Speaker 3: Android cameras are better than iPhone.
Speaker 6: That's fine, but not on social media.
Speaker 5: Mmm, it don't work like that on on TikTok and Instagram.
Speaker 6: You need an my phone. I don't know, it's just
Speaker 6: I might get chewed out for that.
Speaker 5: But look, if I see an Android video and it's
Speaker 5: not something that's about to be like me slapping funny,
Speaker 5: I'm scrolling to the next one, there's no way I'm
Speaker 5: about to watch it.
Speaker 6: It just doesn't look like.
Speaker 2: He ain't no Android like that.
Speaker 3: I feel like I look ugly on the Apple phone,
Speaker 3: Like I feel like they intentionally make you look weird
Speaker 3: on their cameras. I look so good on an Android, bitch.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm telling you.
Speaker 6: On social media, I don't know what it is. Even
Speaker 6: your emojis look crazy like I can't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the emojis is wow, Yeah.
Speaker 6: The emojics are crazy. My mom is.
Speaker 5: She swears she'll never get enjoyed. Drives me crazy. But
Speaker 5: camera beautiful, social media not so much.
Speaker 6: But all you need is a phone and cap cut.
Speaker 2: Do you use any cap cut? That's what I was
Speaker 2: about to ask. What else you say?
Speaker 6: Any other editing app? Everything cut? Mm hmm, you just play.
Speaker 4: I just I remember a time where my Space I
Speaker 4: used to be coding. I used to be coding for
Speaker 4: my MySpace page. Now I can't even edit a fucking
Speaker 4: video and make it look like something is crazy.
Speaker 6: You Cambo, you really can.
Speaker 4: I just really got to practice and not get like
Speaker 4: I get overwhelmed and frustrated, frustrated, and I'm like, fuck
Speaker 4: it right, and but I gotta get better at that.
Speaker 4: That's definitely that's me the gold Fer. The next thirty days, I've.
Speaker 5: Had videos and I turn out like I wanted them
Speaker 5: to and I had to re record them the next day,
Speaker 5: And that ship is like the worst feeling.
Speaker 4: This mother it You just can't re record, you know,
Speaker 4: It's just like it had to be in the moment,
Speaker 4: like I tried to do that video. It's the simplest
Speaker 4: ship with my family where it was like you were dancing,
Speaker 4: like dancing slow with the light on and the light
Speaker 4: off and it's flashing and y'all going crazy.
Speaker 2: Trash that she came out. Trash.
Speaker 4: You can't see nobody. It's just a mess. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm not posting that.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, so, tell us about the book that you're creating.
Speaker 1: You got a book coming out, girl.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm putting an e book together, okay, just kind
Speaker 5: of hitting on all of the questions that I get
Speaker 5: all the time.
Speaker 6: So pretty much that's what it's gonna be.

Speaker 4: your influent, your influence back.
Speaker 5: And I'm also going to put a course out in
Speaker 5: editing course so mm hm for for my people that

Speaker 5: built to start off some businesses that I have in
Speaker 5: the works.
Speaker 6: I just have a lot in mind. But you know, ultimately.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to think of. Like side note question, should
Speaker 5: I like say that I would like to at some
Speaker 5: point do a cookbook or something like that, or do
Speaker 5: I not want to speak on stuff like that?
Speaker 2: Why not.

Speaker 5: Stop waiting for the perfect time. It's like a baby
Speaker 5: or marriage. There's no perfect time.
Speaker 6: Just do it.
