Speaker 1: snubbed by the CMAS, is there controversy with the choice

Speaker 1: Happy Friday, Simone. It's been such a great week.

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: Yes, we got some big sister energy from Latin Grammy

16
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: winner Cheekys.

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: I loved hearing from Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East.

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: We talked marriage, motherhood, gymnastics, and she was just so real.

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: You know who that episode? My mom. She brought it

20
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: up to me yesterday.

21
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: There we go, me and your mom same page.

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 3: Well all of us for sure.

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 2: I also can't stop thinking about the science of happiness

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 2: and the practical, tangible steps we can take to bring

25
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: joy to our own lives. After we had that conversation

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 2: with Karen Guggenheim, not gonna lie, I feel a little happier.

27
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: Okay, how about yesterday with the Miranda Lambert. She's paved

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: the way for so many other major female musicians in

29
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: country music. Talking to her just felt like talking through

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: country history and royalty.

31
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's a living legend.

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: Well, we have such a fun episode ahead of us

33
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: today too, but before we get there, it's time to

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: spotlight our favorite moment of the week.

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 3: That's right.

36
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: You know, when we started this show, we made a

37
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: commitment to share good news with you all, and we

38
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: are going to be making good on that promise today

39
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: because we have such a sweet and special story to share.

40
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: So this week, a group of students at the James

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: Madison High School in Virginia surprise their school custodian, Francis

42
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: Apracu with his dream car. So the students started this

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: GoF on me for Francis, their favorite custodian, after he

44
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: told them he'd always wanted a jeep wrangler but could

45
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: never afford it, so they wrote that ever since they

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: met him, he's been so kind, friendly, and even sometimes

47
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: says prayers for them. So the freshmen were determined to

48
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: raise enough money to get him his dream car by

49
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: the time they graduate.

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 3: But the campaign.

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: Actually exceeded their expectations and they were able to raise

52
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: over twenty thousand dollars in just a few months.

53
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: So incredible. Apracu spoke with Fox five DC just moments

54
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: after he was presented with his dream car, and he

55
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: was brimming with gratitude, and he said he could not

56
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: believe this would happen in his lifetime and that he

57
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: would never ever forget this day. You know, I'm such

58
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: a sucker for a story about the power of community

59
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: and impact of kindness. These will never get old for me,

60
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: all right, Danielle, should we pop off?

61
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: Let's do it.

Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Thank you for having me.

69
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: All Right, well, we have a lot to chat with

Speaker 1: you about because you are one busy girl. We have

71
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: to ask you about the long awaited series Agatha All Along,

72
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: because you played the witchy superhero Jennifer Cale, which is

73
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: opposite Catherine Hahn, and I hear that you and your

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: other cast members got a little witchy even behind the

75
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: scenes to prepare for this. Yeah, is there a coven

76
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: text chain? Like what's happening here?

77
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 4: There is literally a coven text chain. When there's a

78
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 4: full moon, when there's a retrograde, we are texting each other,

79
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: checking in on each other. I feel like the show

80
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: really just brought out the witchiness in everybody, like people

81
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 4: are exchanging Chris. On set, we were saging the set.

82
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: Catherine bought everyone cleansing spray for us to like cleanse

83
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: ourselves in the doorways.

84
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: It was really cool.

85
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: I'm already into that stuff already, and just to be

86
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 4: able to be surrounded by people who were just like

87
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: fully leaning into it felt really nice.

88
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: Was there anyone on set freaked out by it.

89
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 4: I mean, if there was, they didn't say anything or

90
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: I didn't hear it. Anyway, I hope, I hope no

91
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: one was freaked out by it. But I also think

92
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: people were kind of like understanding that it was like fun.

93
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 4: You know, we're not like really trying to like do

94
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: anything demonic over here. We're trying to like enjoy the

95
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: magic that we got going on and create something really cool.

96
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: You're not casting spells on anyone in like craft service,

97
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: let's say, the right.

98
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: Place, unless I didn't get any gummy bears.

99
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: Right, Gummy bears are craft service essential. I totally agree, truly. Okay,

100
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: so shere, this is your first time on our show,

101
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 2: so you don't know this about us, But Danielle and

102
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: I frequently have debates about out woo woo principles and ideas,

103
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: and I tend to be the skeptic in the duo,

104
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: and Danielle is like much higher on the woo woo

105
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: scale than I am. Yeah, So what would you say

106
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 2: is the most woo woo or a witchy thing about you?

107
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: Well, probably the fact that I have a voodoo doll

108
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 4: in my altar at my house. Whow But it's not

109
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 4: like supposed to be like evil or like negative against anybody.

110
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 4: I made it when I was in New Orleans with

111
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 4: a voodoo priestess, and she emphasized the voodoo dolls are

112
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 4: not supposed to be to like get back at anybody

113
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: or like bring evil upon someone's life. It's supposed to

114
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 4: represent you, and it's supposed to be like, if you're

115
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: looking for more financial abundance, you would put like a

116
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 4: penny in the voodoo doll's stomach, or if you want

117
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 4: more health, you would like put water in its mouth.

118
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 4: You kind of take care of this doll as if

119
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: you were taking care of yourself. I made this with

120
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: a friend and we left kind of being like, well,

121
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: I don't want to like have a responsibility. Like we

122
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 4: kind of just like brushed it off, like that was

123
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 4: a cool thing that we did and let's move on

124
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 4: with our lives. And I ended up somehow taking both

125
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 4: my doll and her doll. It was just like wrapped

126
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 4: up in a plastic bag and I had them like

127
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: in the corner of my room for months, and I

128
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 4: remember being like, I don't like feel great, but I

129
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 4: just felt like that and my friend did too, and

130
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 4: like things kept happening in our lives. Were kind of like,

131
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: what is going on? And I was like, do you

132
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 4: think it's the voodoo dolls? Do you think it's the

133
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 4: fact that I have these voodoo dolls like slumped in

134
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 4: a corner, like wrapped in a plastic bag. And she's like,

135
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 4: oh my god, maybe, And I like looked it up

136
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 4: and like so many people online were like, you do

137
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: have to take care of your voodoo doll if you

138
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 4: made it, you like literally have to take care of it.

139
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: I unearthed them from the bag, and like according to

140
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: the online rituals, I like put sea salt on them.

141
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 4: I wrap them in a white cloth and I just

142
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 4: put them in a drawer so they could like be

143
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: kindly stored for a minute while I figure out what

144
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: to do with them. Then I brought my friends to

145
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: her and I was like, I don't want to be

146
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 4: responsible for your life.

147
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: Please take your vooda doll away from me.

148
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: And then I just propped mine in my altar and

149
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: I sometimes like tell it stories or like wishes that

150
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 4: I have, and I really feel like I've been living

151
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 4: a better life since it's been out of the bag.

152
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: You realize this is how every horror movie starts right,

153
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: You're not wrong.

154
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: This is amazing. I love how seriously you're taking all

155
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: of this, even for me, the woo woo girl on

156
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: the show. I don't want to feel haunted today, So

157
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna move on to friendship to share. You host

00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: It's called best Friends. I feel like you guys are

160
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: the new Oprah and Gail. Quite honestly, we even bought

161
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: each other friendship necklaces. I'm curious as to what has

162
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: been the defining element and keeping your friendship so strong

163
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: over the years as both of you grow as people,

164
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: as your careers change.

165
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: I think communication, like any relationship, communication is really important.

166
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: It's hard.

167
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: You would think that with your friend it's easier to

168
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 4: have hard conversations than it would be with like your

169
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: family or your romantic partner, but like, it's still hard,

170
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 4: and I like that we are able to do that.

171
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: And I like that we have a show.

172
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: That highlights adult friendship and how important it is in

173
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 4: one person's life and how.

174
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 3: It also requires work.

175
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 4: I think sometimes people think, like, oh, my friend should

176
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 4: just like accept me as I am, but it's like, well,

177
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 4: we gotta we also have to work on this, Like

178
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 4: this requires work. This is a relationship and if you

179
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 4: want this person to like grow with you and stay

180
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: in life, you also have to like compromise and ebb

181
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 4: and flow and be upfront and authentic with each other.

182
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: I love that you center friendship. I just saw read

183
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: an article about how Aristotle said that friendship was the

184
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: secret to a happy life. So all those thousands of

185
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: years back then they knew that it's true.

186
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: It really is true.

187
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, family is family, and relationships come and go, but

188
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 4: you choose your friends. That's your chosen family. And if

189
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 4: that feels good, I do believe that your life can

190
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 4: feel good too.

191
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: I agree. Okay, that was our warm up. Are you

192
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 1: ready to pop off with us?

193
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: I'm ready to pop off. Let's do it.

194
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: Okay, first up is actually a big one. We're talking Beyonce.

195
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: She covered the October issue of GQ, and we all

196
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: got a little preview this week. We got photos, we

197
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: got bits of the interview, and it's pretty rare that

198
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: she doesn't interview, so you know, the internet got hype. Yes,

199
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: she's talking about her legacy, motherhood, her newest business venture,

200
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: which is Sir Davis Whiskey, and I found her views

201
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: on perfectionism quite interesting. Spoiler she says, it's not about

202
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: being perfect, it's about being revolutionary. Why do you think

203
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: she came out to do an interview now because she

204
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: doesn't do many of these.

205
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: That's actually a really good question. I mean, maybe because

206
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: she wants to highlight her career, or I don't know.

207
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: I think maybe she doesn't do interviews because she's like,

208
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 4: I'm gonna let the work speak for itself.

209
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

210
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 4: But maybe I wonder she's had some like really like

211
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: unconventional work come out lately. This whole album was an

212
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: unconventional country album, and so maybe she's like, I need

213
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 4: to explain it to these dummies.

214
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: I need to let me break it down right.

215
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: But I also loved hearing her talk about just how

216
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: strategic she is with her presence. She knows that there's

217
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: such a huge value placed on her presence, and so

218
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: she talked a little bit about how you know she'll

219
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: dip out for a period of time because she's just

220
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: she's protecting her privacy, and I think strategically she's trying

221
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: to control the narrative whenever she does release art. I

222
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: remember her saying, y'all ain't going to see me outside

223
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: until I got some art to show you. Yeah, So

224
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: just know that if I'm not out here doing the

225
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: red carpets and the interviews, I'm taking time for myself

226
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: and I'm protecting my piece. I really love that because

227
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: I think there's this pressure to like broadcast every move that.

228
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: You're making on social media.

229
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: But she is pulling up her moves from the opposite playbook.

230
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 4: And it makes people crave her more. Like once once

231
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 4: you see her, we're like, oh my gosh, she's here finally,

232
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: as opposed to like people who get overexposed and they're

233
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: here all the time in our face and we're like okay,

234
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 4: Like by the time they actually release music or art

235
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: or anything or kind of like I'm all over you,

236
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 4: you're like you've been here this whole time. So I

237
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 4: think it's smart to like reserve her time.

238
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: The overexposure thing is so real, and I think she's

239
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: one of the few artists that can get everyone in

240
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: a monoculture choke hold, like that's something that's so rare

241
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 2: these days. But she's whenever she puts out art, it

242
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: becomes an event.

243
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah to both of your points. I think there's a

244
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: big difference between a celebrity or an influencer and an artist.

245
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: And I think celebrities and influencers think about relevance a lot,

246
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: because you want to be top of mind so that

247
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: you get that brand deal or that you're in the magazine.

248
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: But when you're an artist, you have something that people crave.

249
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: I think your value is in your vision, not in

250
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: your relevance. And so she can dip out because people

251
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: are craving her when she comes back.

252
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: You know. Okay, We've got some more Beyonce related news

253
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: to get to. So earlier this week, the Country Music

254
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: Association announced nominations for the upcoming CMA Awards, and folks

255
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: were surprised or maybe not so surprised to see that

256
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: Beyonce's Cowboy Carter got zero nominations, and I'll tell you why.

257
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: So.

258
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 2: Her song from that album, Texas Holdham, went number one

259
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: on Billboard's Hot Country Song's chart, and she made history

260
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 2: as the first black woman to top the chart. Her

261
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: album also spent four weeks on the top of the

262
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: Country Album's chart. So obviously people are like, what's going

263
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: on here, CMAS, Why are you not allowing Beyonce into

264
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: this exclusive club of country artists that get recognized with

265
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: your awards.

266
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 3: And this isn't the first time that fans have felt

267
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:28,199
Speaker 3: this way.

268
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: A lot of people thought that the CMA's previously overlooked

269
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 2: Beyonce's song Daddy Lessons in twenty sixteen. She actually performed

270
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 2: that song with the group The Chicks at the CMAS,

271
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: and she even got backlashed for performing there because people

272
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 2: didn't want a so called pop star on that stage.

273
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: And then, of course, the CMAS also ignored Lelna's X

274
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen. So I don't know about y'all, but

275
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: this just got me thinking what exactly defines a country song,

276
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: you know, like what makes something fit into the country

277
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: music genre, because I listened to the artists that do

278
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: get recognized by voting bodies like this, and it's poppy.

279
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 2: It's poppy country music. So I'm just trying to understand

280
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: where the line is.

281
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: It is hard.

282
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are definitely country songs I've heard that do

283
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 4: sound like pop, and then songs that I think probably

284
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: are country and are not considered that. So I don't

285
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 4: actually know. I'm not sure what rules they're using to

286
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 4: define that. But I do feel like Beyonce kind of

287
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 4: let us know she wasn't making a country album.

288
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: She was making an album. This is a Beyonce album.

289
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: And there are moments that I would think this is

290
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: a country, and there's moments where I would think this

291
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: is hip hop or this is pop. You know, it

292
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 4: felt like so many different things, which I love. So

293
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: I'm honestly not terribly surprised she wasn't nominated. And it

294
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 4: did feel like she was like, I'm literally gonna make

295
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 4: my own genre, Like I don't need you, I don't

296
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 4: need you, I don't need country, I don't need your CMAS,

297
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 4: I don't need any of this. I'm just gonna make

298
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: my own nation of fans. I'm gonna make my own

299
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 4: whole new genre of music. And she did, And I

300
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 4: guess it would have been nice if she got nominated

301
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 4: for a CMA. But also does it matter? Does it

302
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 4: matter at this point? I don't think not to her.

303
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I think these award shows are mattering less and less

304
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: to artists. I remember like Drake renouncing the Grammys. I

305
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: think in this interview, she says good music and strong

306
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: messages will never retire and that she's not really interested

307
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: in the pop star formula anymore, so I don't think

308
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: she cares, but I kind of care. I was a

309
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: little disappointed. I mean, she made history as the first

310
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: black woman to top the Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.

311
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: She's the first black woman to have led Billboard's Top

312
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: Country Albums chart list, like she's been on the country charts.

313
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know what qualifies if that doesn't.

314
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point.

315
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: Okay, do you guys remember Beyonce's halftime show?

316
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 3: I will never forget it.

317
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: Is it like for me? I was born in nineteen

318
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: ninety one. It's like top three in my lifetime and

319
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm not even part of the beehive.

320
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a it's so good.

321
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 4: Also, like every like if there's a halftime performer I'm

322
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 4: excited about, I will go back in time and look

323
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 4: at past performances I have liked, and Beyonce.

324
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 3: Is always one that I'm watching and I'm always.

325
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: Like, God, it's just so good. She's which other ones

326
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: do you watch?

327
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 4: Lady Gaga is a favorite, absolutely, Diana Ross is a favorite.

328
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: I really loved Jlo and Shakira. I remember watching that

329
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: live and being like like screaming my head off.

330
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god, this is just so entertaining. Yeah,

331
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: there's been some really great ones.

332
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: I mean, speaking of snubs, Creed has never performed at

333
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: the halftime at the Super Bowl halftime show. I mean,

334
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: we need to talk about this, you guys.

335
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: Oh my god, is this show we're all thinking this

336
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 4: where everyone is thinking it.

337
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, I watch Bruno Mars that was good,

338
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: which Beyonce makes a little cameo, and that one. I

339
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: watch the Janet Jackson one.

340
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 3: That one lives rent free.

341
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: In my mind, rolling Stones, I know, that's a little

342
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: bit of like got a left field but killed it

343
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, and then Prince oh way, Princess Sometimes.

344
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: Beyonce did hers back in twenty thirteen and she brought

345
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: out Destiny Child members Kelly Roland and Michelle Williams.

346
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 3: So wonderful.

347
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: But it was just announced that Kendrick Lamar is going

348
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: to headline this coming Super Bowl the twenty twenty five

349
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: halftime show in New Orleans. Okay, Kendrick is a seventeen

350
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: time Grammy winner, Pulitzer Prize winner, arguably had the Song

351
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: of the Summer with Not like us, and he said

352
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: in a statement that rap music is still the most

353
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: impactful genre to date, and he'll be there to remind

354
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: the world why they got the right one.

355
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 3: Wow. I like that.

356
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: There was a lot of controversy online people wanted Lil

357
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: Wayne to be the halftime performer because he's from New Orleans.

358
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: How do you feel about this this year?

359
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm a Kendrick fan, so I'm very happy,

360
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 4: and he already performed in the Doctor Dre performance. Just

361
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 4: like seeing how Kendrick utilizes dance and choreography and costumes

362
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 4: and showmanship in his performance. It's so satisfying because, like,

363
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 4: there are a lot of rappers who care about that stuff,

364
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: but it's so nice when you see.

365
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 3: Someone who really cares about it.

366
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 4: And I think that is the perfect choice for a

367
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 4: Super Bowl halftime show. Lil Wayne absolutely would have been

368
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 4: fun too and would have brought out I'm sure Nicki

369
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 4: Minaj and Drake and other people who have been under him.

370
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 3: But I'm not complaining about the Kendrick choice.

371
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: I am a weezyf baby fan, big, big time weezy fan.

372
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: I feel conflicted about this.

373
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: Part of me really wishes that Low Wayne would get

374
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: his time on the Super Bowl stage. But that got

375
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: me thinking about, Okay, how does this selection process work?

376
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: So I looked into it and according to NPR, I

377
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: don't know if there are any rules, but this is

378
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: like the system. So the host city comes up with

379
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 2: the list of names, and then they show that to

380
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 2: the NFL, and then the NFL has to run it

381
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: by all of its various board members. And jay Z

382
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: is one of the higher profile board members. So just

383
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: keep that in the back of your mind. And it's

384
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: really up to the various board members because once they

385
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: agree on a name, then they take it back to

386
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: the host city and say, here's our pick. So I've

387
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: read that some people think that the reason why Kendrick

388
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: got chosen is because he infuses jazz into his work

389
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: and New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz, And of

390
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: course I think the real reason it just helps that

391
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: he's super relevant on top of the whole Drake beef

392
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: that's happened this year.

393
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't think of it more relevant person.

394
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I wonder if you know, because there's such

395
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 4: an outcry, maybe they'll slip a little way in there

396
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 4: somewhat like, you know, as a feature.

397
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 3: That'd be nice. I think that'd be nice. That would

398
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 3: be That's a nice idea.

399
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: I love that we have to hate pause real quick

400
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: on popping off. But we'll be right back after a

401
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: short break. Stick with us, and we're back to popping

402
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: off with comedian actress and writer Sashi Zamida.

403
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: All Right, y'all, we are going to switch gears here.

404
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: So The Cut recently put out an article entitled how

405
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: to Stay Hot. Okay, first of all, I have to

406
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: pop off on this headline, how to stay hot? How

407
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 2: to stay hot? Are we not worthy of more?

408
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 3: At this point?

409
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 2: Can we talk about our intellectual attributes, our humor, our

410
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: wisdom as women before we talk about how to stay hot?

411
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 2: I just feel like we would never write an article

412
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: like this about men, Like we would never tell men

413
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: how to stay hot.

414
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 3: I just think pretty fades.

415
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: We should be thinking about other strengths that we have

416
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 2: that aren't related to our appearance. But anyways, this article

417
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: breaks down the average cost of beauty that women have

418
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 2: shelled out in each decade of their life.

419
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 3: So this article actually shared.

420
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: The specific things that women do and how much money

421
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: they've spent in each decade of their lives. So like

422
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: in their twenties, in their thirties and their forties, fifties, sixties,

423
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 2: all the way up to seventies. So instead of it

424
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: being like time eras, it's more like our age range. Jase, Yes,

425
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 2: which decade do you think was the most costly for

426
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: women in terms of beauty thirties?

427
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 4: Why thirties, Because I feel like that's when people are like, oh,

428
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 4: I should get my shit together, Like I need to

429
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 4: start now, I need to do preventive stuff. I need

430
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 4: to do like post treatment, I need to do all

431
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 4: that stuff. Because in twenty in your twenties, I feel

432
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 4: like people are like.

433
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 3: I'll live forever, I'll always look young. And then new

434
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: your thirties, you are like, I'm realizing I will not.

435
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 3: And then maybe when you get older, you're kind of

436
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 3: like already set in a routine.

437
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: Maybe that's interesting. See, I would have guessed, or I

438
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: will guess that it gets more expensive as you get

439
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: further along in the decades. Like I look at my mom.

440
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: She has so many appointments and she's not even an

441
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: appointment woman. Yeah, you know, but like she's covering the

442
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: gray hair. I don't want to put her on blast.

443
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: But lots of appointments. She's like, what great hair to

444
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: the show every day. She's just like fire feels. She's like,

445
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: get ready, Danielle. She always says that to me.

446
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, I can't.

447
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't like leaving my couch. I can't get ready

448
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: for any of this.

449
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So Sashier was actually right in this case. The

450
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: correct answer is the thirties, coming in at almost ten

451
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 2: thousand dollars per year. So that's on average, what women

452
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: in their thirties spent.

453
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: What's happening wit You think that's a lot, Like no,

454
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: like where are we I probably spend more than that?

455
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: Like where what are we all spending on?

456
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 3: Okay?

457
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 2: So here are the most mentioned treatments corrective skin facials,

458
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: laser hair removal, botox and filler, micro needling, red light therapy, masks, prolamination,

459
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 2: and visiligne saunas. When you actually take the time to

460
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: read this out loud, it sounds crazy, like are we

461
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 2: really doing all this to our faces? In our bodies?

462
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean well, I think they also included like massages,

463
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: lymphatic drainage, gel pedicures, manicures, acrylics, all that stuff.

464
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a whole list.

465
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: They even talk about lesser known treatments like salmon DNA therapy.

466
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 3: Have you guys heard of this? No, are we trying

467
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: to be salmon like what.

468
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: We We're in our salmon era. So apparently it's a

469
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: very painful procedure that's only available in Korea right now,

470
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: and you're getting salmon blood and wait for it, reproductive

471
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: fluids injected into the skin, which is supposed to help

472
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: with sell regeneration.

473
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 3: What huh?

474
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Well, what's interesting to note about this article, though,

475
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 2: is that after the thirties, that average yearly price tag

476
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: actually goes down, with women spending roughly six thousand in

477
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: their forties, then down to about four thousand in their fifties, okay,

478
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 2: and then ending on around two thousand in the sixties

479
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: and seventies.

480
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, ace for a while, I'm sure you're just like,

481
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 4: this is how I look, this is what's going on, right.

482
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,239
Speaker 2: I hope that's my theory, and I hope that's what

483
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: it's like, because that's that sounds very liberating.

484
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think I'm going to be trying

485
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: to hang on for a while. I don't I'm just

486
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: gonna be salmon treatments. No, I don't like exotic that salmon.

487
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like a kiss person, like keep it simple, stupid.

488
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: But I have like a monthly routine. I do a

489
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: manny petty, a massage, a facial. I have some some

490
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: basic needs. I need meds to make sense.

491
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 3: So how much do you think you spend monthly? I've

492
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: never even broken it down. Yeah, I don't think I

493
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 3: do much. I do facials. When I remember massage is

494
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 3: when I remember.

495
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, I wish I was a routine person,

496
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 4: but it's really like, oh, I probably should do that, right.

497
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: That's so relatable.

498
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm like minimum five hundred dollars a month,

499
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: death probably more.

500
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 2: I think I'm probably between three to four hundred, depending

501
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: on the month. But for me, it's like all those

502
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: little Sephora purchases, Like all that stuff adds up.

503
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you run out of things body wash, gel, razor, blades.

504
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't know the things shampoo.

505
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: I mean.

506
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 1: Living in La, my mom and I get into fights

507
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: because she tells me that I should just fly home

508
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: to Chicago to get my hair highlighted, and I would

509
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: still save money, Like LA hair highlights are out of control.

510
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 4: I didn't realize I don't have hair for that reason.

511
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 4: Really say, I save a lot of money my heart

512
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 4: having hair.

513
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: Have you did you always shave your head?

514
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 4: I did when I was in college, and then it

515
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 4: grew out into a fro, and then I kept it

516
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 4: natural in a fro for in twists and braids such

517
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 4: for years, and then every year every summer, really, I

518
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 4: was like, I just want to get all of this

519
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 4: off my head, like I would like shave the side

520
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 4: and then eventually shave the sides and the back. It's

521
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 4: just getting less and less hair as the years went on,

522
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 4: and eventually I was like, I just don't want this.

523
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 4: I just don't want this. I never want to do it.

524
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 4: It's always in a ponytail. And so I shaved it

525
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 4: all off, and I was like, oh my god, why

526
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 4: isn't it like not like this all the time.

527
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 3: I can't believe I spent so much time not being

528
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 3: like this.

529
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: Do you shave it yourself? How do you get to

530
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: the very back?

531
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: I do shave it myself.

532
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 4: I just turn around in the mirror and hold a

533
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 4: mirror in front of me and like, you know, hope

534
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 4: for the best, but thankfully it's hair, so it grows

535
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 4: pretty fast.

Speaker 2: Cart action presented by Walmart. So this is our weekly

555
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: segment where we have the opportunity to share a product

556
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 2: that we are loving right now. And I know that

557
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: we usually share a product that we love for ourselves,

558
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: but today, I wanted to shake it up a little

559
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: bit and share a product that I thought you would like.

560
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: Oh that's so kind of you.

561
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,200

Speaker 2: how much you value your sleep. We know you're sleep

563
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 2: a girl, so I wanted to give you a serene evolution.

564
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: Big red Rooster white noise machine.

565
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't understand what this is called because it

566
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: sounds loud, but you're telling me it's going to put

567
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: me to bed.

568
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: Yes, it has six sleep sounds rain, Brook, ocean, thunder,

569
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: white noise, and summer night. Oh my god, I know

570
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 2: it's going to help you drift off to sleep.

571
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 1: I've never used a sound machine before, but I love

572
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: the idea of falling asleep to ocean sounds. It's kind

573
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: of reminding me of Malibu, even though I don't live

574
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: near there. So thank you for thinking of me.

575
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: I like this. I think I'm kind of a Brook girl.

576
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 2: You'll have to let me know how that one sounds

577
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 2: and enjoy a good night's sleep on me. Okay, besties,
