So I really think it's 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:47.520 refreshing to see two black women who are really friends 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.640 just having good innocent fun. 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:50.600 We're not talking. 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.600 About men and dating and gender wars and all this stuff. 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:54.880 It's just good fun. 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:56.720 What about the ladies that are watching it, like, well, 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.800 how am I going to be able to fly myself. 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:03.840 Out grad from there? 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:06.320 Actually? 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.200 But I will say so a lot of the stuff too, 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.480 is like it's budget friendly. I mean, we went to Charleston, 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:17.840 you know what I'm saying, But you can do it 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.800 aur on trip. We went to key West, so you 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.480 can drive to key West, you know what I'm saying. 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.799 You don't have to necessarily fly. It's not like we're 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.200 doing extremely expensive things to be honest. 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:28.280 So I think if you. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.320 Budget you know, it's not like we're doing luxurious things 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.240 and going to the Maldives and you know, staying at 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.480 the Four Seasons. It's very budget friendly stuff. Yeah, and 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.160 I think that was the point of the show. They 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.679 wanted to make everybody feel like, Okay, I can come 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:42.919 here and I don't have to. 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:44.800 Spend a lot of money to have a good time. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.000 So for God was flying. 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.440 I still want to go to those destinations, yeah, but 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.040 I probably would have some different. 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.960 Beautiful West is one of them. 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:58.840 A little ducked up, I remember it is. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:07.880 That's before I wasn't through out by cocoa butter, but 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.400 that that's usually the older gentleman. Yes, it's a very 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.440 like quiet town. You can definitely sneak off there with 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.560 the old I haven't never been the key waste before. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.919 That was my first time it was you know, it 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.639 was water blue. The water was blue. 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:28.120 That's a fact took you be confused. 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.680 So I just told them that when the older guys 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.480 performed filatio, they don't. 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:33.640 Really know. 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:40.360 What the congo lings kind of when when they're doing 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.280 that they say leal lit. 0:03:42.960 --> 0:03:44.680 I guess they they don't have teef anymore. 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.240 You know, they're trying to figure out where it is, 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.600 especially the ones with glasses, you know when they slip 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.280 down on the nose and they say, legally they be 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:55.360 doing as a glass because a lot of it's gonna 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:56.840 get a little nobody. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.800 Yeah, the Four Cities y'all went to? 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:07.040 Which one did you like the best? And why? 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:11.600 Mexico CD because it was just so nice. 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.120 I feel like, it's so many black expats that are 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.000 moving there from the United States, so it's a lot 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:17.440 of black people out there. We went to a R 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.160 and B night while we were out there, we went 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.000 to a black vegan restaurant.

She could see my apartment from so she 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.800 would be like waving me from the pool.

You 0:05:58.640 --> 0:05:59.440 know what's crazy. 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.960 I think when we were younger and the show first started, 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:04.400 we didn't have any direction. We didn't know what we 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.160 wanted to do. We're going through growing pains, but now 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.239 it's like she's thirty four, I'm thirty five. We've grown women. Yeah, 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.360 we don't have anything to fight about. And honestly, I 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.560 think it's so crazy when people have podcasts and they 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:20.600 make so much money and they be arguing. You know what, 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.440 we have so much fun, like to be able to 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.880 travel the world with your best friend and have a business. 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.520 It's great, it's fun. How was it when y'all get 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:28.360 in relationships? 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:28.560 Though? 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:30.200 Ooh? 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.320 I feel like we do a really good job of 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.479 still keeping the balance of our friendship and still being 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.520 in a relationship, Like we always find the time to 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.960 hang with each other, to go to dinner, to talk 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.279 on the phone. As crazy as it is because the 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.080 podcast we do talk about dating a lot, we are 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.920 really not male centered women and a lot of people 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.200 think that because we talk about dating so much on 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.440 the show, But we really not like. 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:53.080 We like to be. 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:55.160 Like last year we went to Turks for her birthday. 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.120 We wasn't inviting them.

We started kind of going through a 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.200 transition and a break up at the same time. 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.160 But it's not like in the bad space.

And I 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.400 get it. When you love somebody, you want to stay 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.360 with your man. It's hard all here, y'all. 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.840 All men, y'all all married, y'all got y'all. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:26.200 No, And I don't know why. 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:29.320 He was just in love last year. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.440 I still ever loved. I'm very much in love. Like 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.760 I said, it's just a situation. We're figuring it out. 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.840 I don't, you know, but I think we're both so 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:39.760 focused on our careers right now. And I know it 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.360 sounds so cliche, but I'm just a person. He's an 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.960 amazing guy. If we're meant to be together, we're gonna 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.520 be together. So I'm just not putting pressure on it, 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:49.120 you know what I mean. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.080 So it's cool. We're gonna figure it out. 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.240 You know what have y'all learned about y'allselves from doing 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.920 the podcasting? The podcast first of one, No longer than that. 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.720 We started doing Poor Minds when I was like twenty seven, 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:02.079 so yeah. 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.560 Seven years yeah, seven years now, Okay, So y'all at that, 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:07.720 See is people don't realize this is at the point, 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.520 this is the time when podcasts really start to take off. 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.720 Round your seventh fifure everybody think it's just instant success. Yeah, 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:14.760 round your seven fifth years. So what have y'all learned 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:15.440 about yourselves? 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:17.320 For me? 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:22.360 I would say transparency and vulnerability is healing. When I 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:26.480 first started doing the show, I think that I always 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.559 have kind of had more of a closed off personality. 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.560 I've always been a little bit more private than like 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.040 She's always been like an open book on the show. 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.080 And I never used to want to talk about things 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:36.640 that I was going through because I felt like it 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.160 was a sign of weakness. 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:39.880 And I've just always had this thing where. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.960 I don't want people to look at me like, you know, 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.560 I'm weak or whatever. So I think that now I'm 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:49.320 in a space where I enjoy telling my story. I 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.839 enjoy telling people the things that I'm going through because 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:53.760 I feel like it can help other people get through 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.920 this through similar things or you know, just being transparent 0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.800 to me is just very important at this point in 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:04.280 my life life because I don't know, I just I 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:05.319 don't want to get emotional. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:06.960 I don't want to get emotional a little bit. 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.280 But like I lost my dad and it was something 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.440 that was thank you, It was something that was really 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.600 really hard for me to talk about on the show, 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.960 But I wish that back then I had the same 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:18.920 mindset because I feel like I was dealing with so 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.240 much by myself, and when I started talking about it 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.000 on the show, it was just so many people in 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.960 such an outpouring of love, people saying I've been through 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.440 the same thing. I can understand where you're coming from. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.080 So that's what I've learned over the years about myself. 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.640 I think that I really enjoy now telling people what 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.360 I'm going through instead of just feeling like I have 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:41.200 to go through everything by myself. I think with me, 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.800 I'm such like a loud personality, and I think a 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:48.640 lot of times I would try to hide that from people, 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.480 and I just embrace who I am, Like I'm not 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.079 the sexy girl that's doing all this, Like I'm a tomboy. 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.640 I like to be loud, have fun. So I really 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.000 got confidence about myself because I'm. 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:00.760 Like, this is who I am. 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.080 I think for when I first started, like being on 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.560 social media, I was like doing the bikini pigs and 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:07.880 poles and bottle pull I'm like, girl, this is not 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.079 you at all. So I've really been able to embrace 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.440 myself and be like, you know what you'd allow homegirl, 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:15.960 and that's okay, Like you don't have to fit into. 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.760 This box of what you think that a woman is. 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.720 Supposed to because people always love to say, because I 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.240 know you hear this a lot, they'd be like, oh, 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.720 funny women aren't pretty, or you have to either you 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.400 funny or you're pretty. 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.079 You can't be both, you know what I'm saying. 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.120 So I feel like I used to try to lean 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.120 into being the pretty girl, and then I would try 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:33.560 to lean. 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.080 To be the funny girl. And I'm like, you know what, 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.080 I don't have to be in anybody's box. Yeah, you 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:37.680 know what I'm saying. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.480 So you've always been sexy, you just don't give off 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:43.920 sex like you said, like you're just not prissy, You're 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:44.480 just yeah. 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:46.120 Well, we talked about this on the show. 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.440 There's a difference between like having sex appeal and like 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:50.280 being attracted. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.839 Like Drea just is like sexy, you know what I'm saying. 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:58.800 She's walking around she's like, hey, oh you know yeah, 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:02.440 Like I said, I just think, like being said. 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.280 Really much, sex appeal is something that's just inside yes, 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.520 and I just think like that's not a part of 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:11.320 my personality. 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.920 But that's okay. It's not. I'm not saying I'm unattractive. 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.240 I'm a patty uncle. You feel me, you know what 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:16.680 I'm saying. 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.560 So I just think that I've been more comfortable, like 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.040 being in my skin and who I am. 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:24.280 For sure, growing out loud is hard yees, you know. 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.320 And that's what you'll been doing the last seven years 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:27.480 on that podcast. 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.600 Like going through everything like she said we she lost 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.880 her dad, I lost my mom, going through breakups and 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:35.839 then it's like, you know, we'd be like, oh, we 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.080 in love and then the next month were talking about 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:42.320 a different doing and every like oh my dad doing 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:48.760 the same thing about you, you know, and people not 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:53.080 in your business. So I think, yeah, going through relationships 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.840 and growing pains. And I've always been honest about my 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.040 financial status too, because I always said when I'm it 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.920 was Atlanta, i had three dollars because I did like 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.439 I wasn't lying. So I think it's important to be transparent, 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.480 especially as a black woman in this industry. I feel 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.200 like we always try to hide what we're making because 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.720 I'm like, oh, this company signed up for your ass. 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.120 How much they paying you? Because it's how much they 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:15.839 paying us. Let's make sure that they not, you know 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.319 what I'm saying. So I think that with the platform 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.280 that we have, it's like, yeah, we've grown in front 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.199 of the camera. But like she said, being open and 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.079 vulnerable has helped us one thousand percent. 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:27.720 So what have y'all learned about y'allself from doing the 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:28.280 TV show? 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:29.280 Mmm? 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.319 Honestly, I feel like everybody always asked that because they're like, 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:35.680 oh my gosh, how was it? 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.000 It was two weeks, But I'm like, I don't know nothing. 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.040 I guess to. 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.960 Be honest, Well, I mean because it's crazy because I 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.600 thought it was gonna feel so different, but it felt 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.400 so natural, Like I feel like we made for TV 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.679 because it felt so natural. It kind of felt like 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:53.920 and maybe because we did it together and we're best 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.680 friends and we already have that chemistry and the camaraderie 0:13:56.720 --> 0:14:00.160 and stuff, it just felt thank you camaraderie. 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:02.960 So it just felt. 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.480 Like I'm doing this show with my homegirl, and the 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.120 cameras just happened to be here. 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:08.520 How many bags did y'all pack? 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:10.880 We too? 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.280 Right, No, we had that when we had one big 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.480 suitcase and like our totes and stuff and then a 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:16.000 carry on. 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:16.480 Yeah. 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.560 So what we did though, is so we had the 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.800 the bags from Amazon that you vacuum. So what we 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.640 did is we had each bag for each city. So 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:28.960 I had like my three outfits for Columbia and my vacuum. 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.840 Back then I didn't have to open that bag no more. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.440 Then when we went to Charleton, I had my bag 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.880 for Charuton. So it wasn't that bad. But I will 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:40.000 say shout out to the producers at BT, James Knox 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:41.400 and the Cocoa Butter family, because they. 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:42.360 Really let us be ourselves. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.720 Like they were literally like press record, y'all, just do y'all. 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:47.920 And that's another thing I was worried about. I was like, 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:49.400 how are they going to edit this and make us 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.160 look But it's definitely given lex p Andre and the call. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.360 You know what's really fun time. 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.160 So that was my second time going to Columbia, my 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.119 first time going to card Diana because. 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:10.720 The first Columbia country you said, I was in Combia. 0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:13.360 You are. 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.880 Sure white. I am weak, so yeah, but I mean 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:19.720 funny enough. 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.720 I think that's what people think of though when you 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.640 think to Columbia, you think of the cartel and stuff, 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.600 because like I said, I went to Medayane a few 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.360 years ago to get my teeth done. And I was 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:32.560 scared to leave from the area where my hotel. 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:33.280 Was and where my doctor. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:33.880 Crazy. 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.320 I mean, I was just nervous to travel around because 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.800 that's what you hear about Columbia. So when we went 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.240 to Cardina, I had a really really good time. And 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:43.480 then especially with us going to Polink, which is the 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.560 first free black city in the Americas, it was just 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.040 so you know that it's Afro Latinos in a lot 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.520 of these countries. But when I say when we were 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.880 in Polenk, we felt like we were somewhere in Ghana 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.920 and Nigeria, like these people look like our cousins, our 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.480 family members. It was just amazing being there and being 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:00.640 submerged in the culture. 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:02.520 Do you go away to Columbia get your tees. 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:06.120 Then, because it was shaper, I think here was like 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:08.920 thirty thousand. You know, I'm getting a little miney. 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.960 But to say get him done here. 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.360 They're just all the same size, like the extra largest 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.240 for the mediums or they. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.560 Got the front, they get front teeth for the whole. 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:25.320 When they get the top done and don't get the 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:26.360 bottom of the and it's like. 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.760 You to get the texture, like I think that's why 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:34.360 my teeth looks so natural because he made like the texture. 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.800 And how the men treat you when they see y'all 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.960 from outside of which we are usually outside of Atlanta. 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:42.120 What do you mean? What do you mean? 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.800 Because Atlanta, you know, they see beautiful women. Sometimes they 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:47.720 might not see that in Colombia, like like. 0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:52.400 DJ he said, Columbia got ugly women. If you said, 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:55.880 you know, like usually. 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.360 When you go out the country and they see American women, 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.600 they treat American women differently because they don't usually see 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:00.800 American women like that. 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.280 Yeah, honestly, I'm not gonna lie. 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:07.120 I feel like whenever we go anywhere, I really can't 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.439 tell the difference because I feel like everywhere we go 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:11.640 we kind of draw Attenson. I know that sounds bad, 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.439 but it's like everywhere we go we're used to people 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.080 like we're like, oh my god, I know y'all from 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.440 the pod saying hey. And then when we were in Colombia, 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:21.600 it's a little different because we had cameras around us, 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.760 so of course people are like looking and saying stuff 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.919 and being so it's kind of hard to tell the 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.320 difference between, you know, people how they treat us outside 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.320 of Atlanta versus anywhere, because I feel like everywhere we 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.919 go now people kind of recognize us. So it's not 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.879
