14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: How'd that come about?

15
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 5: Also, the production company Cocoa Butter, they actually reached out

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 5: to us because they wanted us to audition for it

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 5: because they had us and like I think some other

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 5: maybe like two or three other friend groups in mind.

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: So we auditioned for it.

20
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 5: They loved us, and then we got it and we

21
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 5: started filming maybe like a month after.

22
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then really filmed the whole show in two weeks.

23
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: Coc but I, No, it's actually not.

24
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 5: It's a white guy.

25
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, So what a travel Queen's about?

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 4: Where y'all going with what y'all doing?

27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,279
Speaker 1: So we went to four different cities.

28
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 5: We went to Cardahena, Mexico City, and Key West Charleston.

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 5: So it's basically really showing, like young black millennials gen zers,

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 5: especially women, how to travel, where to go eat, where

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 5: to find other black people when you travel, just how

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 5: to be safe and.

33
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: Have a good time.

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 5: I think right now, and media I won't say right now,

35
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 5: but I feel like a lot of stuff that we're

36
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 5: seeing in the media with black women it's like who fighting,

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 5: throwing drinks in people's face. So I really think it's

38
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 5: refreshing to see two black women who are really friends

39
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 5: just having good innocent fun.

40
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: We're not talking.

41
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 5: About men and dating and gender wars and all this stuff.

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: It's just good fun.

43
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: What about the ladies that are watching it, like, well,

44
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: how am I going to be able to fly myself.

45
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 5: Out grad from there?

46
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: Actually?

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 5: But I will say so a lot of the stuff too,

48
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 5: is like it's budget friendly. I mean, we went to Charleston,

49
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, But you can do it

50
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 5: aur on trip. We went to key West, so you

51
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 5: can drive to key West, you know what I'm saying.

52
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 5: You don't have to necessarily fly. It's not like we're

53
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 5: doing extremely expensive things to be honest.

54
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: So I think if you.

55
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 5: Budget you know, it's not like we're doing luxurious things

56
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 5: and going to the Maldives and you know, staying at

57
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 5: the Four Seasons. It's very budget friendly stuff. Yeah, and

58
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 5: I think that was the point of the show. They

59
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,679
Speaker 5: wanted to make everybody feel like, Okay, I can come

60
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 5: here and I don't have to.

61
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: Spend a lot of money to have a good time.

62
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: So for God was flying.

63
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 5: I still want to go to those destinations, yeah, but

64
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 5: I probably would have some different.

65
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: Beautiful West is one of them.

66
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 5: A little ducked up, I remember it is.

67
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: That's before I wasn't through out by cocoa butter, but

68
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: that that's usually the older gentleman. Yes, it's a very

69
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: like quiet town. You can definitely sneak off there with

70
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: the old I haven't never been the key waste before.

71
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: That was my first time it was you know, it

72
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: was water blue. The water was blue.

73
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: That's a fact took you be confused.

74
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 6: So I just told them that when the older guys

75
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 6: performed filatio, they don't.

76
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: Really know.

77
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 6: What the congo lings kind of when when they're doing

78
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 6: that they say leal lit.

79
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: I guess they they don't have teef anymore.

80
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 6: You know, they're trying to figure out where it is,

81
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 6: especially the ones with glasses, you know when they slip

82
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 6: down on the nose and they say, legally they be

83
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 6: doing as a glass because a lot of it's gonna

84
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 6: get a little nobody.

85
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Four Cities y'all went to?

86
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: Which one did you like the best? And why?

87
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Mexico CD because it was just so nice.

88
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 5: I feel like, it's so many black expats that are

89
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 5: moving there from the United States, so it's a lot

90
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 5: of black people out there. We went to a R

91
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 5: and B night while we were out there, we went

92
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 5: to a black vegan restaurant. It's just it reminded me

93
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 5: a lot of the United States, but just in Mexico C.

94
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: I feel like, out of everywhere that we win, that

95
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: was my favorite place.

96
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie. I keep saying that Charleston surprised

97
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 5: me too, like that I've never been to Charleston, and

98
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 5: I have a really close friend of mine that lives

99
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 5: out there and he's been trying to get me to

100
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 5: come out there forever.

101
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: And I was like, what is in Charleston? Like, isn't

102
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: that a dance?

103
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 5: Like? I was like, I'm not trying, but I was

104
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 5: so surprised, like people be taking the nice boats out.

105
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: The food is good.

106
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 5: I had a ball in Charleston, like I'm actually playing

107
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 5: a trip to go back.

108
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: Like beautiful.

109
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mexico City is nice to Yeah, it's a lot

110
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 5: of people moving there. Yeah.

111
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: My husband's family is from there. Really that's why period. Okay,

112
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: y'all both like to travel already.

113
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and we already traveled together a lot anyway,

114
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 5: so we felt like that's why it was the perfect

115
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 5: show for it.

116
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 4: Y'all get tired of each other at all, Like, you

117
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: know what, you go your way, I'll go walk my way.

118
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

119
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: Wow, we're neighbors.

120
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: We literally live in Atlanta.

121
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 5: I live in a building right here, and her building

122
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 5: is right here, and the unit that I used to

123
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 5: live in. She could see my apartment from so she

124
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 5: would be like waving me from the pool. No, she

125
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 5: I followed her because I started building a building ourself

126
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 5: in the move, right next door to my sweetie pool.

127
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: I love that I would. Y'all get tired, sugar. You

128
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: know what's crazy.

129
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 5: I think when we were younger and the show first started,

130
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 5: we didn't have any direction. We didn't know what we

131
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 5: wanted to do. We're going through growing pains, but now

132
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 5: it's like she's thirty four, I'm thirty five. We've grown women. Yeah,

133
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 5: we don't have anything to fight about. And honestly, I

134
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 5: think it's so crazy when people have podcasts and they

135
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 5: make so much money and they be arguing. You know what,

136
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 5: we have so much fun, like to be able to

137
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 5: travel the world with your best friend and have a business.

138
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: It's great, it's fun. How was it when y'all get

139
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: in relationships?

140
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: Though?

141
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: Ooh?

142
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 5: I feel like we do a really good job of

143
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 5: still keeping the balance of our friendship and still being

144
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 5: in a relationship, Like we always find the time to

145
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 5: hang with each other, to go to dinner, to talk

146
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 5: on the phone. As crazy as it is because the

147
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 5: podcast we do talk about dating a lot, we are

148
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 5: really not male centered women and a lot of people

149
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 5: think that because we talk about dating so much on

150
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 5: the show, But we really not like.

151
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: We like to be.

152
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 5: Like last year we went to Turks for her birthday.

153
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 5: We wasn't inviting them. We went to Miami one year

154
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 5: for my birthday. Like, we just go on trips by ourself.

155
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 5: We're not like, oh, our boyfriends have to come or

Speaker 3: You know.

161
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: You know now you're not in a rocky place. We

162
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna see what happens.

163
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 5: It's complicated, yeah, which is crazy, right because I feel

164
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: like it happened simultaneously, like at the same time for

165
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 5: both of us. We started kind of going through a

166
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 5: transition and a break up at the same time.

167
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: But it's not like in the bad space. No, yeesh,

168
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: it's not like we're cool. It's cool.

169
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 5: We're figuring it out type sua suck each other up

170
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 5: like girl leaving, I'm gonna leavehim if you leave him,

171
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 5: or if.

172
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know what's crazy.

173
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 5: No, I'm really like that friend where when she calls

174
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 5: me and she talks to me about what's going on

175
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 5: in her relationship and stuff, I'm just always.

176
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: Like, okay, girl, well you know, do what you want

177
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: to do.

178
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 5: I try to be supporting of what she want to

179
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 5: do as long as it's not a fly violent situation

180
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: or something that you need to leave the abusive or

181
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 5: anything like that.

182
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: I try to be supportive of my friends. And I

183
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: get it. When you love somebody, you want to stay

184
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: with your man. It's hard all here, y'all.

185
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 5: All men, y'all all married, y'all got y'all.

186
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: No, And I don't know why.

187
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: He was just in love last year.

188
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: I still ever loved. I'm very much in love. Like

189
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: I said, it's just a situation. We're figuring it out.

190
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 5: I don't, you know, but I think we're both so

191
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 5: focused on our careers right now. And I know it

192
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 5: sounds so cliche, but I'm just a person. He's an

193
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 5: amazing guy. If we're meant to be together, we're gonna

194
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: be together. So I'm just not putting pressure on it,

195
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.

196
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: So it's cool. We're gonna figure it out.

197
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: You know what have y'all learned about y'allselves from doing

198
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: the podcasting? The podcast first of one, No longer than that.

199
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: We started doing Poor Minds when I was like twenty seven,

200
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: so yeah.

201
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: Seven years yeah, seven years now, Okay, So y'all at that,

202
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: See is people don't realize this is at the point,

203
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: this is the time when podcasts really start to take off.

204
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: Round your seventh fifure everybody think it's just instant success. Yeah,

205
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: round your seven fifth years. So what have y'all learned

206
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: about yourselves?

207
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: For me?

208
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: I would say transparency and vulnerability is healing. When I

209
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 5: first started doing the show, I think that I always

210
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 5: have kind of had more of a closed off personality.

211
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 5: I've always been a little bit more private than like

212
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 5: She's always been like an open book on the show.

213
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 5: And I never used to want to talk about things

214
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 5: that I was going through because I felt like it

215
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 5: was a sign of weakness.

216
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: And I've just always had this thing where.

217
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 5: I don't want people to look at me like, you know,

218
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 5: I'm weak or whatever. So I think that now I'm

219
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 5: in a space where I enjoy telling my story. I

220
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 5: enjoy telling people the things that I'm going through because

221
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 5: I feel like it can help other people get through

222
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 5: this through similar things or you know, just being transparent

223
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 5: to me is just very important at this point in

224
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 5: my life life because I don't know, I just I

225
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 5: don't want to get emotional.

226
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to get emotional a little bit.

227
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 5: But like I lost my dad and it was something

228
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 5: that was thank you, It was something that was really

229
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 5: really hard for me to talk about on the show,

230
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 5: But I wish that back then I had the same

231
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 5: mindset because I feel like I was dealing with so

232
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 5: much by myself, and when I started talking about it

233
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 5: on the show, it was just so many people in

234
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 5: such an outpouring of love, people saying I've been through

235
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 5: the same thing. I can understand where you're coming from.

236
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 5: So that's what I've learned over the years about myself.

237
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 5: I think that I really enjoy now telling people what

238
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 5: I'm going through instead of just feeling like I have

239
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 5: to go through everything by myself. I think with me,

240
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 5: I'm such like a loud personality, and I think a

241
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 5: lot of times I would try to hide that from people,

242
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 5: and I just embrace who I am, Like I'm not

243
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 5: the sexy girl that's doing all this, Like I'm a tomboy.

244
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 5: I like to be loud, have fun. So I really

245
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 5: got confidence about myself because I'm.

246
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: Like, this is who I am.

247
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 5: I think for when I first started, like being on

248
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 5: social media, I was like doing the bikini pigs and

249
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 5: poles and bottle pull I'm like, girl, this is not

250
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 5: you at all. So I've really been able to embrace

251
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 5: myself and be like, you know what you'd allow homegirl,

252
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 5: and that's okay, Like you don't have to fit into.

253
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: This box of what you think that a woman is.

254
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 5: Supposed to because people always love to say, because I

255
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 5: know you hear this a lot, they'd be like, oh,

256
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 5: funny women aren't pretty, or you have to either you

257
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 5: funny or you're pretty.

258
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: You can't be both, you know what I'm saying.

259
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 5: So I feel like I used to try to lean

260
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 5: into being the pretty girl, and then I would try

261
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 5: to lean.

262
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: To be the funny girl. And I'm like, you know what,

263
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: I don't have to be in anybody's box. Yeah, you

264
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.

265
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 6: So you've always been sexy, you just don't give off

266
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 6: sex like you said, like you're just not prissy, You're

267
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 6: just yeah.

268
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: Well, we talked about this on the show.

269
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 5: There's a difference between like having sex appeal and like

270
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 5: being attracted.

271
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: Like Drea just is like sexy, you know what I'm saying.

272
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: She's walking around she's like, hey, oh you know yeah,

273
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: Like I said, I just think, like being said.

274
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 5: Really much, sex appeal is something that's just inside yes,

275
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 5: and I just think like that's not a part of

276
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 5: my personality.

277
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: But that's okay. It's not. I'm not saying I'm unattractive.

278
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm a patty uncle. You feel me, you know what

279
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

280
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 5: So I just think that I've been more comfortable, like

281
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 5: being in my skin and who I am.

282
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: For sure, growing out loud is hard yees, you know.

283
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: And that's what you'll been doing the last seven years

284
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: on that podcast.

285
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 5: Like going through everything like she said we she lost

286
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 5: her dad, I lost my mom, going through breakups and

287
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 5: then it's like, you know, we'd be like, oh, we

288
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 5: in love and then the next month were talking about

289
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 5: a different doing and every like oh my dad doing

290
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 5: the same thing about you, you know, and people not

291
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 5: in your business. So I think, yeah, going through relationships

292
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 5: and growing pains. And I've always been honest about my

293
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 5: financial status too, because I always said when I'm it

294
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 5: was Atlanta, i had three dollars because I did like

295
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 5: I wasn't lying. So I think it's important to be transparent,

296
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 5: especially as a black woman in this industry. I feel

297
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 5: like we always try to hide what we're making because

298
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, this company signed up for your ass.

299
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 5: How much they paying you? Because it's how much they

300
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 5: paying us. Let's make sure that they not, you know

301
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. So I think that with the platform

302
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 5: that we have, it's like, yeah, we've grown in front

303
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 5: of the camera. But like she said, being open and

304
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 5: vulnerable has helped us one thousand percent.

305
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: So what have y'all learned about y'allself from doing the

306
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: TV show?

307
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: Mmm?

308
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 5: Honestly, I feel like everybody always asked that because they're like,

309
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, how was it?

310
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: It was two weeks, But I'm like, I don't know nothing.

311
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: I guess to.

312
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 5: Be honest, Well, I mean because it's crazy because I

313
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 5: thought it was gonna feel so different, but it felt

314
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 5: so natural, Like I feel like we made for TV

315
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 5: because it felt so natural. It kind of felt like

316
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 5: and maybe because we did it together and we're best

317
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 5: friends and we already have that chemistry and the camaraderie

318
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 5: and stuff, it just felt thank you camaraderie.

319
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: So it just felt.

320
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 5: Like I'm doing this show with my homegirl, and the

321
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 5: cameras just happened to be here.

322
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: How many bags did y'all pack?

323
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: We too?

324
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 5: Right, No, we had that when we had one big

325
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 5: suitcase and like our totes and stuff and then a

326
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 5: carry on.

327
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

328
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 5: So what we did though, is so we had the

329
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 5: the bags from Amazon that you vacuum. So what we

330
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 5: did is we had each bag for each city. So

331
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 5: I had like my three outfits for Columbia and my vacuum.

332
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 5: Back then I didn't have to open that bag no more.

333
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 5: Then when we went to Charleton, I had my bag

334
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 5: for Charuton. So it wasn't that bad. But I will

335
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 5: say shout out to the producers at BT, James Knox

336
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 5: and the Cocoa Butter family, because they.

337
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: Really let us be ourselves.

338
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 5: Like they were literally like press record, y'all, just do y'all.

339
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 5: And that's another thing I was worried about. I was like,

340
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 5: how are they going to edit this and make us

341
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 5: look But it's definitely given lex p Andre and the call.

342
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: You know what's really fun time.

343
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 5: So that was my second time going to Columbia, my

344
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,119
Speaker 5: first time going to card Diana because.

345
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: The first Columbia country you said, I was in Combia.

346
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 5: You are.

347
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: Sure white. I am weak, so yeah, but I mean

348
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: funny enough.

349
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 5: I think that's what people think of though when you

350
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 5: think to Columbia, you think of the cartel and stuff,

351
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 5: because like I said, I went to Medayane a few

352
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 5: years ago to get my teeth done. And I was

353
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 5: scared to leave from the area where my hotel.

354
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: Was and where my doctor.

355
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: Crazy.

356
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I was just nervous to travel around because

357
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 5: that's what you hear about Columbia. So when we went

358
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 5: to Cardina, I had a really really good time. And

359
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 5: then especially with us going to Polink, which is the

360
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 5: first free black city in the Americas, it was just

361
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 5: so you know that it's Afro Latinos in a lot

362
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 5: of these countries. But when I say when we were

363
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 5: in Polenk, we felt like we were somewhere in Ghana

364
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 5: and Nigeria, like these people look like our cousins, our

365
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 5: family members. It was just amazing being there and being

366
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 5: submerged in the culture.

367
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: Do you go away to Columbia get your tees.

368
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 5: Then, because it was shaper, I think here was like

369
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 5: thirty thousand. You know, I'm getting a little miney.

370
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: But to say get him done here.

371
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 6: They're just all the same size, like the extra largest

372
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 6: for the mediums or they.

373
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 5: Got the front, they get front teeth for the whole.

374
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: When they get the top done and don't get the

375
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: bottom of the and it's like.

376
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 5: You to get the texture, like I think that's why

377
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 5: my teeth looks so natural because he made like the texture.

378
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: And how the men treat you when they see y'all

379
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 4: from outside of which we are usually outside of Atlanta.

380
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: What do you mean? What do you mean?

381
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 4: Because Atlanta, you know, they see beautiful women. Sometimes they

382
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 4: might not see that in Colombia, like like.

383
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: DJ he said, Columbia got ugly women. If you said,

384
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: you know, like usually.

385
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 4: When you go out the country and they see American women,

386
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 4: they treat American women differently because they don't usually see

387
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: American women like that.

388
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, I'm not gonna lie.

389
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 5: I feel like whenever we go anywhere, I really can't

390
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 5: tell the difference because I feel like everywhere we go

391
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 5: we kind of draw Attenson. I know that sounds bad,

392
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 5: but it's like everywhere we go we're used to people

393
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 5: like we're like, oh my god, I know y'all from

394
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 5: the pod saying hey. And then when we were in Colombia,

395
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 5: it's a little different because we had cameras around us,

396
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 5: so of course people are like looking and saying stuff

397
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 5: and being so it's kind of hard to tell the

398
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 5: difference between, you know, people how they treat us outside

399
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 5: of Atlanta versus anywhere, because I feel like everywhere we

400
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 5: go now people kind of recognize us. So it's not

401
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 5: really like we're getting treated differently per se, if that

402
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 5: makes sense.

403
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: When you said.

404
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 6: They you were scared of how they were gonna edit

405
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 6: y'all and make y'all look.

406
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: Were y'all allowed to be in the room.

407
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 6: During the enterprocess, So you just like the y'all trusted them,

408
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 6: and you just like the way they ended up editing

409
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 6: the episode.

410
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, we didn't know anything, girl, We've seen everything. When

411
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 5: everybody else seen, you didn't know how they were were

412
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 5: still watching. We was on the plane last night watching

413
00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 5: the episode the first time.

414
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: So are y'all nervous for every episode that? You know what? Well,

415
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: I'm not nervous now. I was nervous of.

416
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 5: How my body was gonna look because I just lost

417
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 5: thirty pounds okay, thank you, Okay, So I when we shot,

418
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 5: I weighed like two o five.

419
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: So I was so nervous.

420
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 5: I kept saying, oh my gosh, I hope cause I

421
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 5: have like a little belly on me.

422
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: So whenever I gave weight.

423
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 5: Like people always tend to think I'm pregnant, they be like,

424
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 5: let's pregnant, I'm like, oh my god, can I just

425
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 5: have a little shot at tequila?

426
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? I had a little you know.

427
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 5: So I was really more so nervous about my body

428
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 5: after I saw the first episode.

429
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: But I was like, okay, body team.

430
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: Columbia pure coke.

431
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: You say what? Oh no, Honestly, I used to be

432
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: a girl. I used to do everything under the sun.

433
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 3: You know.

434
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 5: The first time I went to Columbia for my bbah.

435
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 5: So y'all talking about y'all know Columbia for the coke.

436
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 5: I know, Colombia for them good doctors. But I just

437
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 5: did a natural this time. I was doing a lot

438
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 5: of cardio, eating healthy. You know, I feel like and

439
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 5: I feel better now. I think I'm getting older and

440
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 5: I'm just all the I'm not dissing people who do

441
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 5: take other routes, but I just had to do it

442
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 5: for it wasn't the ompic. I don't like needles.

443
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't do that to myself. But no, no ospic.

444
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: I do want to say to you, talk about walking

445
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 2: in the room, There's something different about Houston women. Houston

446
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 2: women have a presence about them that stands out a

447
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: lot more than a lot of other women.

448
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 5: I think it's the side, really the side usually taller

449
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 5: tall were not originally from Houston.

450
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: I'm from Orange, Texas.

451
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I agree with that. I think we do

452
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 5: have a certain or we kind of command the room.

453
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: You know, we walk in. We're very friendly.

454
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 5: So it's especially when we walk in some rooms with

455
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 5: people like from New York, they're not used to people speaking.

456
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: We like hospitality. It's very huge.

457
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 5: As far as some hours, yeah, it's like two hours.

458
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

459
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: What's something about your friendship that y'all think the TV

460
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 2: show made stronger? If anything, I.

461
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: Think that we realized how strong we are together and.

462
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 5: How many I feel like, how many doors that we're opening,

463
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 5: even though I think and I know people.

464
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: Gonna be like, what doors you open?

465
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 5: Honestly, podcasting, especially in the South, it's not a lot

466
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 5: of podcasts in the South really, right, And the fact

467
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 5: that there has been podcasters out there that have gotten

468
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 5: TV shows, but it's mostly TV shows that are based

469
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 5: on their podcast. The fact that Travel Queens has nothing

470
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 5: to do with poor minds, and we're showing our talents,

471
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 5: like we have communication degrees, like we went to school

472
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 5: for this. So I think a lot of times people

473
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 5: don't take influencers or people who started on the internet.

474
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: Seriously, you started on the internet as well.

475
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 5: So a lot of times we get so much backlash

476
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 5: because they're like, uh, y'all just the girls who grabbed

477
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 5: the mic and start a YouTube channel. But I think

478
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 5: being on this show it shows like, no, we we

479
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 5: got some tricks up our sleeve, you know what I'm saying.

480
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 5: So I think that it made our friendship stronger because

481
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 5: I'm like, bro, look at what we have done, you.

482
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying.

483
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 5: Even from the first time when we came on Breakfast Club,

484
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 5: I was like, oh my gosh, like this is huge,

485
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So I think this is

486
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 5: just like we realized how strong we are together and

487
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 5: how much more that we have to do.

488
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: And don't speak past the fact y'all got communications degree.

489
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know.

490
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 5: I think people always forget that because we never highlighted

491
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 5: that much. But yeah, graduated from Texas Southern and I

492
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 5: graduated from Stephen F.

493
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: Austin.

494
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: What y'all want to do?

495
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: Y'all?

496
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: In college, I just wanted to be like on TV

497
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: news anchors.

498
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 5: Or you know, I didn't really know what I wanted

499
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 5: to do to be honest, I knew I wanted to

500
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 5: do something in media, and then when I graduated, I

501
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 5: had a little fake internship at ninety seven nine buck

502
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 5: shout out to Kiyati.

503
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: He's still.

504
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 5: Yatis, still on the radio in Houston right now, and

505
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 5: I had a little fake internship with him. I shadowed

506
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 5: him for maybe like two months, and then I realized

507
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 5: I didn't really like radio. So then I didn't know

508
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 5: what I wanted to do, and so I moved to Atlanta.

509
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 5: Of course, y'all know, Lex ended up moving out here.

510
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 5: One of her friends who was also already into podcast

511
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 5: and was like, y'all need to turn y'all YouTube channel

512
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 5: into a podcast. And I feel like that's when I

513
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 5: found my niche. I was like, okay, I'm supposed to

514
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 5: be podcasting, but prior to that, I didn't know.

515
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna do like hard news.

516
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm gonna be out roke up, I'm

517
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 5: gonna be reporting everything.

518
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: It's gonna great. I'm doing everything, like y'all don't understand.

519
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be on America bitch.

520
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 5: I was trying to do everything, but like I took

521
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 5: an internship in my uh my school radio station and

522
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 5: we were just reporting on hard news every morning.

523
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: It was so sad, and I was like, I cannot do.

524
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 5: This, Like we're having to interview people who just lost

525
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 5: their house and a fire like all this stuff.

526
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, maybe I need to redirect.

527
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 5: And so I've always been into entertainment news Like I

528
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: grew up, you know, watching news.

529
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. The kids was watching Coco,

530
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: Mela and Rugrass. I was watching news.

531
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 5: So I was like, okay, let me do something in

532
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 5: the entertainment world like that might be, you know, more

533
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 5: of my speed. So I knew I want to do

534
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 5: something on TV and media, but I just wasn't sure.

535
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 5: So podcasting kind of made it easy because I was

536
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 5: applying for all the jobs in Houston and I just

537
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 5: couldn't get my foot in the door.

538
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: So I was like, well, let me just create our

539
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: own lane and do our thing.

540
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: How'd yall connect with eighty five South?

541
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: It was because of Carlos.

542
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 5: So Carlos always followed us on Twitter and we were

543
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 5: cool with him on Twitter, and I think I shot

544
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 5: my shot and I was just like, oh, can you

545
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 5: come record Poor Minds with us? And At this time,

546
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 5: we weren't even recording in the studio yet. We were

547
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 5: still recording in the living room at my house, and

548
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 5: he pulled up on us, sat on the floor in

549
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 5: my living room and recorded Poor Minds with us, and

550
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 5: then I think ever since then he was just kind

551
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 5: of watching us, and then he saw how the show

552
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 5: kept growing and elevating, and then a few years later

553
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 5: he ended up asking us to come on eighty five South.

554
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 5: We went on eighty five South. I think that episode

555
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 5: did a million views in like five days or something.

556
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 5: So we ended up the episode like a million views

557
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 5: in five days. And then he introduced us to Chad

558
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 5: and he was like, I think you know we want.

559
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: To sign y'all.

560
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 4: I still have a question, Uh some advice. I have

561
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 4: a single friend. Uh she has a closet full of wigs, curly.

562
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 2: Terrible wigs.

563
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: Oh you know who the friend is?

564
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 2: I do sadly.

565
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 4: She has a bunch of wigs curly, one day is straight,

566
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 4: different colors. She's she's funny, she's smart, she switches up

567
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 4: her wigs like like a Netflix series. But when it

568
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 4: comes to dating, she doesn't seem like she can.

569
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: Find the right guy.

570
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 4: She doesn't know, if guys get intimidated or if they

571
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 4: just confused, how would you suggest she meets somebody to

572
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 4: secure a relationship because time is running out?

573
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: And saw her wigs? But why did you include the

574
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: stuff about the wigs? You think the wig might be

575
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: the reason why she can't find the men.

576
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 2: I mean, think about it, just thinks that. I'm sure

577
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: that y'all felt like y'all had to change about yourselves

578
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 2: a little bit and it probably made them, you know,

579
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: debate a little stronger for the fist.

580
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 5: Okay, well, you know what kind of men are she

581
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 5: is she trying to date? Because you know they say

582
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 5: they like bad weeds, the white They love a crunching,

583
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 5: a crunches steal. I could not keep the Brett's off

584
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 5: of me. They do. But I will say this, we

585
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 5: were actually just having this conversation.

586
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: We was literally just talking about this.

587
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 5: They do. They have that same hardwig soft life.

588
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: Maybe a different pool.

589
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: She's in the wrong pool.

590
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 5: She might be in the wrong pool one, But I

591
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 5: will say we were just telling our producer this, and

592
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 5: I was saying, like, when you get your look together

593
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 5: and you feel confident in yourself, it doesn't even matter,

594
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 5: Like whatever makes you feel good, You're gonna attract the

595
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 5: right person. I enjoy being polished. I used to have

596
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 5: a stiff wig or two.

597
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: You got one of them? She does, she does, but

598
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: I called her.

599
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 5: I said, well, she wins her first EM. I'm gonna

600
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 5: put it on eBay and you don't got the pony

601
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 5: Collectors item and it still has the scruencheet on.

602
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: It and everything. It's in a ponytail.

603
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 2: Who do you think lies? More women with bad wigs

604
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: are men with podcasts.

605

Speaker 1: Agree for the two weeks that we we didn't.

610

Speaker 5: Me and Lex honestly really get along most of the time.

611
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 5: We never really argue again if we do, because I

612
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 5: feel like we can. We're at a point now in

613
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 5: our relationship where we can since when the other person

Speaker 2: So why didn't you stick with the white man?

631
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: Because I wanted a man. I wanted a hard life

632
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: with a hard man.

633
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:03,639

Speaker 2: The doctor Lamar influenced you. The dump that white man.

636
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,920

00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 2: How do y'all protect y'all at though?

666
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 5: I praize, I have a great relationship with God. I prayalize,

667
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 5: I also go to therapy. I think it's so important

668
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 5: to go to therapy, and I don't know why in

669
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 5: the black community so many people don't want to try

670
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 5: it out, are afraid to.

671
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: Try it out?

672
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 5: Like it has completely changed my life, especially when I

673
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 5: was grieving when I lost my dad. That's when I

674
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 5: started therapy and I've been going ever since. It's been

675
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 5: about five years now.

676
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the same. I go to therapy. I recently

677
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: started going. I go to church every Sunday. I do

678
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: not play.

679
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 5: I've worked on my relationship with God, and honestly, I

680
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 5: really have a tight, close knit circle, like my friends

681
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 5: and my family, like me and my sister are extremely close,

682
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 5: and I feel like that's important. Like when I have

683
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 5: my bad days and I'm just like, my best friend

684
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 5: is here with me, killer, I'm like, you need to

685
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 5: come to Atlanta, like I'm not doing too well, and

686
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 5: she will literally hop on a plane and come see me.

687
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 5: And you know, because we all have our moments, even

688
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 5: with Drave me and my neighbor, I'm like, I had

689
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 5: a breakdown last week and I called her.

690
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: I was like, bro, I'm finna lose my mind.

691
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 5: So I think it's very important to have people around

692
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 5: you that you know, when I'm down, they can pick

693
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 5: me up.

694
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: And vice versa.

695
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: So you had a grief counselor or you're just just

696
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: a therapy.

697
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: But I mean she did specialize in grief, so yeah,

698
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: and that helped.

699
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 5: It helps me a lot for sure, because I mean,

700
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 5: I will talk to my mom about it, but it

701
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 5: was hard talking to my mom about.

702
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: It because she was also grieving as well.

703
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 5: And it was just nice to have somebody who was unbiased,

704
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,239
Speaker 5: who I could let all my feelings out and let

705
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 5: them know how I was feeling. Because at the time,

706
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 5: you know, Lex hadn't lost her mom yet, so I

707
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 5: didn't have any friends that had lost the parents, so

708
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 5: it wasn't anybody that I could talk to that I

709
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 5: felt like could relate to what I.

710
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: Was going through.

711
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 5: Man.

712
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, condolences man. And when you are going through those breakdowns,

713
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: like you said, you hit dred, what you pull over

714
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 2: the bottle or something, some smoke, what you'll do?

715
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: I always got about it, not some smoke, And I

716
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: think either about to go out to make yourself feel better.

717
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,719
Speaker 5: No, But honestly, you know what, I don't even think

718
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 5: we do that anymore. We used to, but now we

719
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 5: really just talk like we drink through our problems.

720
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: But we really don't do that anymore.

721
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 5: We really just talk it out and you know, just

722
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,479
Speaker 5: give each other time and just be there for each other,

723
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. Yeah, Yeah, And one thing

724
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 5: I've learned is just like I've learned so much patience.

725
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 5: I have so much peace in that because it doesn't

726
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 5: rain forever. So every time I'm going through something, I'm

727
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 5: just like, just let it pass, and it always always passes.

728
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: So I think we we we we still get turned

729
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: on the wine though.

730
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 5: Yeah we don't drink now, but we don't use it

731
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 5: as a crutch anymore.

732
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

733
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you how do y'all balance like

734
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: turning up for the show because you still got to perform,

735
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 2: right because it's a TV show, but then being present

736
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 2: for the moments that you're experiencing, like those cultural you

737
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 2: know what's crazy.

738
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: We didn't really drink that much the whole time that

739
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: we were filming.

740
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 5: Like, we had a few scenes, like we had a

741
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 5: mexcal scene, so of course we were drinking during that scene.

742
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 5: I think the Drag show, Yeah, we were drinking a

743
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 5: little bit, and then we had some mohitos, But honestly,

744
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 5: those were the only three times throughout the whole time

745
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 5: we were filming that we were drinking because we really

746
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 5: wanted to stay present in the moment because one thing

747
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 5: about this we're gonna take it to the moon, We're

748
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 5: gonna take it too far.

749
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,719
Speaker 1: So it's missed to just not have no drinks.

750
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's crazy because the mescal scene that we

751
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 5: did that showed in Mexico City last night. That was

752
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 5: actually the last scene that we did for the entire show,

753
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 5: and that was probably the most like lit that we

754
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 5: got because we were drinking so much. But I think

755
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 5: it's very different from Poor Minds. But honestly, we stopped

756
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 5: drinking a lot on Poor Minds, Yeah, because it was

757
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 5: like some cringy episodes and we just like, oh my god,

758
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,719
Speaker 5: it was the Houston Live showed. It was so embarrassing

759
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 5: because we recorded the show and then we went back

760
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 5: and watched it when we got back to Atlanta, and

761
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 5: it was just so cringey. We was on stage like yeah, Lex,

762
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 5: let's turn up, and were bringing our friends on stage

763
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 5: and just drunk, taking shots, twerking.

764
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: It was.

765
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 2: It was a miss one of my favorite shows. Y'all

766
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 2: came out and y'all was just dancing and was in

767
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: the zone.

768
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 5: Not that one you're that was Houston. But that was

769
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 5: like our second Houston show. You we have the freaking

770
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 5: outfits on.

771
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a good show. We have put ourselves

772
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: on a drink minimum. We have a two shot.

773
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 5: Minimum before we go on stage, and then we'll have

774
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 5: like a drink on stage, but we have one drink

775
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 5: go on stage and that's it. Once we're done with

776
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 5: that drink, you're done. Yeah that first Houston show, we

777
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 5: drunk that whole bottle.

778
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we was.

779
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: We was turning. I'm always not always a little nervous,

780
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: always trying to turn up. I didn't realize I was

781
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: getting so drunk.

782
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: With the long term vision for the show, more.

783
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 5: Seasons, Yeah, if we're hoping it's gonna get picked up

784
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 5: for a second season, I think we should probably know

785
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 5: that within like the next two weeks or so. So

786
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 5: obviously we wanted to get picked up. And as far

787
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 5: as Poor Minds, we want Poor Minds to get picked

788
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 5: up as a TV show as well.

789
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's on our bucket least.

790
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, I think, like with Travel Queens, I

791
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,919
Speaker 5: definitely wanted to be a lot more seasons. I feel

792
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 5: like we should do like a whole season, like in Africa,

793
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 5: A whole season in Europe. So that's what we're holding

794
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 5: that'll that it'll grow to. And you know, same thing

795
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 5: with Poor Minds. I can see Poor Minds living on

796
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,720

797
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 5: that you know, outside of YouTube. I think we're ready
