Speaker 1: Hey, hey, hey, hey, be a listeners, and we're back
Speaker 1: and this is broadcast to you by the so Apocalypse
Speaker 1: of No Blizzard twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2: We all remember, we just wanted to have one last
Speaker 2: show before we all die. Yeah, okay, say goodbye. It's
Speaker 2: been real. We're buried in the fut of snow tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Say I left any any last respective.
Speaker 3: I just want to say, stay brown, stay beautiful.
Speaker 2: I want to say, oh Jay, did it not my president?
Speaker 3: Yes? All looks are good. Darn it. Now I want
Speaker 3: to change.
Speaker 2: I want to change on people think about their last meals.
Speaker 2: I think about what I'm gonna eat everybody, Like if
Speaker 2: I had a chance, what.
Speaker 3: Would your last meal beal be? If you had to
Speaker 3: have last meal?
Speaker 2: Oh god, it would be like a big old bowl
Speaker 2: of cereal? Really is that?
Speaker 3: So?
Speaker 2: I don't know if I if you guys know this
Speaker 2: about me yet, but I have a serial addiction. It
Speaker 2: is something I have been struggling with. And I'm I'm
Speaker 2: I'm serious about when I say addiction, Like I the
Speaker 2: same way I think people are addicted to crack alcohol
Speaker 2: like that is me and cereal. If there's a box,
Speaker 2: it calls to me it'll be consumed. And I've been
Speaker 2: fighting it my whole life. I've been I was sober
Speaker 2: for probably a few months. But in honor of snow apocalypse,
Speaker 2: future husband went to the grocery store for the essentials.
Speaker 2: What did you come home with? Banana muffins, Reese's Puff,
Speaker 2: cereal I can't, and some ginger beer. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: just broke my own sobriety. I had a couple Reese's Puff.
Speaker 2: He left the house for five minutes, and I was
Speaker 2: if you left me alone with it? He said, this
Speaker 2: is on your conscience, not mine. You know what happens
Speaker 2: me and cereal do not. It can't. So anyway, that
Speaker 2: long story short, that i'd be my last meal probably
Speaker 2: just a huge ass bowl of cereal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yes, sea puffs, I mean there is. It's
Speaker 3: weird because I'm not a cereal addict. For normal grown
Speaker 3: people cereal, but give me a fruit loopy, puffy, chocolatey
Speaker 3: peanut buttery foolishness, and I'm like, where's the milk?
Speaker 2: Have you, as an adult person, tried to eat fruity pebbles?
Speaker 3: That's it's just straight trash. I mean, there's incorrecting.
Speaker 2: I tried eating it recently and I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is like quench fruit like paper this discussion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, but you know, there's some cereals that
Speaker 3: translate well in adulthood. Apple jacks, for example. Oh, it's
Speaker 3: the favorite.
Speaker 2: I would tear up some apple jacks right now. Not
Speaker 2: even not even apple jacks. When when I was a
Speaker 2: kid growing up, my mom we used to get the
Speaker 2: generic cereal that came in the back, and it was
Speaker 2: like apple Jo's. I thought that it that's not what
Speaker 2: they're actually called. That totally forget what they're called now.
Speaker 2: But anyway, like ingles, we had angles in Georgia and yeah,
Speaker 2: like cinnamon O's or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that shit was.
Speaker 2: Delicious and it was always better than the real stuff
Speaker 2: because it had way more sugar.
Speaker 3: I feel like there was no regulation.
Speaker 2: I know, cereal tastes not as good the sugar like fruit.
Speaker 2: If you eat frosted flakes today that has about one
Speaker 2: third of the sugar. I think this is actually true
Speaker 2: of when we were kids. Really, Yeah, that's why I
Speaker 2: can't do math anymore. All that sugar addled my brain.
Speaker 3: Well, what about the fact that back when we were
Speaker 3: kid I don't know. If I'm older than you. But
Speaker 3: they used to actually have great toys in Cereal. But
Speaker 3: I'm like, what happened to the awesome toys?
Speaker 2: They remember toys in Cereal? And then I remember when
Speaker 2: it switched over to like mail in this this box
Speaker 2: top and you might qualify for free, became.
Speaker 3: An online marketer. They're like, ask your parent if you
Speaker 3: can go No, I don't want that, give me my
Speaker 3: toy inside this spot, like literally I would. There was
Speaker 3: this one toy. It was called the Wacky WallWalker. Oh
Speaker 3: my god. It was literally like this jelly mask that
Speaker 3: they shaped in the shape of like a small octopus,
Speaker 3: and you threw it against the wall Mandy, and it
Speaker 3: crawled down the wall. It was everything.
Speaker 2: I wait a second, I think I had some of those.
Speaker 2: All those ooey gooey toys were very in like I
Speaker 2: had flubbered goo. I had that silly putty, and then
Speaker 2: there was just straight up goo. It'd be like eight
Speaker 2: dollars a container and it was just goop. Why why
Speaker 2: I wish my This is why I don't want to
Speaker 2: have children. I have to buy things like Goop. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, why did my parents even We're way off?
Speaker 2: Where did we even startop? Did you stock up on
Speaker 2: snacks for the snow? If you guys don't know, if
Speaker 2: you're not in the Northeast region, we have a giant
Speaker 2: blizzard hitting us tomorrow. So everyone's listening their damn minds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I went, I'm not gonna lie. I had already
Speaker 3: food choping, maybe a few days ago, but you know,
Speaker 3: like I went, like normal food chopping. But I was like,
Speaker 3: there's difference between normal food chopping and snow food chopping.
Speaker 3: So I went back this morning, I was like, I
Speaker 3: need snacks because you know, you remember.
Speaker 2: We were what is it with the snacks? It's a
Speaker 2: normal day, I don't know. Fiance went and got biscuits.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm gonna have a I'm gonna have a
Speaker 2: bacon cheese biscuit. I'm like, but it's a Tuesday. You
Speaker 2: didn't even need breakfast during the week.
Speaker 4: So I remember we were supposed to have like a
Speaker 4: like a blizzard, I don't know, earlier in the winter
Speaker 4: and it didn't happen, and people were like, or it
Speaker 4: happened like it waited like you know, it was supposed
Speaker 4: to happen like five and it didn't hapen till like midnight,
Speaker 4: and people were like, so I finished my snacks, what
Speaker 4: do I do now?
Speaker 2: I think people in New York are just as bad
Speaker 2: as people in Georgia. I used to people they give
Speaker 2: Southerners so much crap because we'll be like all the
Speaker 2: shelves at Walmart will be empty of all the bottle
Speaker 2: water and bread. But New Yorkers are the same. The
Speaker 2: line was outside, like around the block of Trader Joe's
Speaker 2: and Whole Foods and fair Away, like we can't we
Speaker 2: but I think that we celebrated more. We're like, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: this is an excuse to get snacks and liquor and
Speaker 2: you know, hole up and like have parties and stuff.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm just I can't like it's so crazy cause
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm all acting like I can't wait. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: I work from home. This is a literally a normal
Speaker 3: day for me.
Speaker 2: But nothing you see I have. I'm staying home tomorrow,
Speaker 2: but I have to work as long as the internet
Speaker 2: is alive. Unfortunately, that means I'll be working. Deonte Boo
Speaker 2: works as a government so they can't take anything home.
Speaker 3: So he's like, wea, I know, right, well, my fiance Boo,
Speaker 3: he he's an essential worker, so he's like, great, essential. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so he has to go out and like because he
Speaker 3: works for the city and he works for housing, so
Speaker 3: he they consider him in essential work on he has
Speaker 3: to come out here and make sure that like the
Speaker 3: sidewalks are saved all that kind of stuff. So he's like,
Speaker 3: whoop be. Meanwhile, he's got like a cold, so you know,
Speaker 3: right now he's dying in bed like somebody's. I bought like,
Speaker 3: you know, like a liquid medicine for him, and so
Speaker 3: I'm reading the back and it says two teaspoons every
Speaker 3: four hours. So it comes with a cup, so I
Speaker 3: pour it. He said, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's a lot.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, sir. I was like, sir, this is
Speaker 3: too tee. He's like, I don't believe you. So he
Speaker 3: took the package from me and is reading the documents
Speaker 3: on the back, the small print like hmmm, I'm like,
Speaker 3: it's two te it's two tables woo and that tea spoil.
Speaker 3: That's two tables. So that's what it says. And then
Speaker 3: the cup it's only like one line. One line says
Speaker 3: one table sewing, the other one says two. I'm like,
Speaker 3: look at like we debated for like five minutes. I'm like, sir,
Speaker 3: drink the dag on medicine. He took it like a
Speaker 3: five year old, like it's nasty. I'm like, meanwhile, you're
Speaker 3: thirty six.
Speaker 2: You gotta just throw it back, man, throw it back.
Speaker 2: Don't let it touch your tongue. Just straight back the shooter.
Speaker 2: That's what you got to do.
Speaker 3: Since I was it is that but like you'll feel better.
Speaker 3: But I just thought, like, I'm like, is he debating
Speaker 3: me over the He says, that's too much? That's that
Speaker 3: cannot possibly be. The serving flies like, what if you're
Speaker 3: competent enough to string together that sentence, then you can
Speaker 3: get up.
Speaker 2: I feel like I always make up my own dosages
Speaker 2: for medicine to I don't know it's worked out so far.
Speaker 2: Like like fiance, he always tells me I take too much.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I can take three. I be proof
Speaker 2: and it's okay. It's fine. Yeah, three time and all
Speaker 2: it's fine. It's a really bad headache. Two doesn't do it.
Speaker 2: I feel like I've built up a tolerance or something
Speaker 2: like that's just a suggestion, you know, for the FDA.
Speaker 2: I got this.
Speaker 3: He's not like my friend Linda she'll be like, well,
Speaker 3: technically you can really take up to I'm like, Linda,
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to die based upon your your rudimentary
Speaker 3: advice that.
Speaker 2: Oh goodness, I have to talk about this before I'm
Speaker 2: like bursting with it. So I know you probably haven't yet,
Speaker 2: but I know a lot of people have seen get
Speaker 2: Out the movie. I did you actually, Oh my god,
Speaker 2: tip look at you. That's probably the first time I've
Speaker 2: seen a movie that you've also seen. Let's talk about it.
Speaker 2: Did it not like I don't? First of all, I
Speaker 2: hate scary movies. I don't see them. Oh good, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I never ever ever see scary movies. I don't want
Speaker 2: to be I feel like you shouldn't pay money for
Speaker 2: someone to scare you, like to make me uncomfortable? Why
Speaker 2: am I paying for that? Everyone was talking about get Out,
Speaker 2: so I felt like I had to see it. It
Speaker 2: was so good, so creepy.
Speaker 3: Yes, and you know it was so weird because, like you,
Speaker 3: honestly I hate scary I don't, so I didn't. Honestly,
Speaker 3: I didn't want to see that. First, I thought, well,
Speaker 3: but everyone was like in my time, I was like,
Speaker 3: got to see it, got to see it. So I said, Okay,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go, and I went with them with Superman
Speaker 3: and I was pleasantly surprised. It's not scary as much
Speaker 3: as it is a thriller.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I like by thriller. H suspenseful, like
Speaker 2: you don't know what the hell is going on, but you're.
Speaker 3: Like, what is happening? And then you're like oh mg.
Speaker 3: And then first of all, someone wrote that you have
Speaker 3: to watch Get Out to get the full effect, and
Speaker 3: if possible in the middle, like at the most hood
Speaker 3: movie theater that you can watch.
Speaker 2: It in go to New Bill which is where I went.
Speaker 3: That wasn't amazing, Yes, because if it's filled with people
Speaker 3: of color, it is everything everything. It was so delightful
Speaker 3: to be in a room full of people of color
Speaker 3: who were yelling at the screen because the folks that
Speaker 3: I told you to leave her this is what you say.
Speaker 2: Well, well, for everybody who hasn't seen it yet, you
Speaker 2: want to turn, you want to like skip forward about
Speaker 2: five minutes because we need to talk about what happened
Speaker 2: in this movie. It's a it covers race, it covers
Speaker 2: it was. It was like the most thought provoking horror
Speaker 2: suspense movie I think I've seen in a long time.
Speaker 2: But you know what's funny is so if you if
Speaker 2: you so. The film, of course, is about a white
Speaker 2: woman who's dating a black man. I mean, amazing actor.
Speaker 2: What was his name. He's a British guy, he's a
Speaker 2: he's a newbie, just did an amazing performance. So she
Speaker 2: takes him home to meet her family. What I love
Speaker 2: about the movie is her her family. It would have
Speaker 2: been really easy for him to like set it in
Speaker 2: the South and oh, her racist southern parents, but he
Speaker 2: the girl. Her family is like New York upper upper
Speaker 2: upper middle class white people, like liberals, progressives, like the
Speaker 2: kind of people who say, oh, I'm hashtag woke. You know,
Speaker 2: I have lots of black friends. I voted for Obama,
Speaker 2: and he makes them like the villains. I thought I
Speaker 2: thought that was like a brilliant stroke. But anyway, she
Speaker 2: takes the home and he's like nervous to meet her family.
Speaker 2: They don't know that he's black yet and needless to
Speaker 2: not even needless to say what, so hold on, there's
Speaker 2: it's so much. So he finds out slowly that they
Speaker 2: have been hypnotizing black men swapping and a woman yes
Speaker 2: and stealing their bodies and replacing their brains with the
Speaker 2: brains of white people and letting and then so they
Speaker 2: can be cool and hip and in fashion, and then
Speaker 2: they they they they keep these new people like pets.
Speaker 2: It's so fucking crazy crazy.
Speaker 3: And so because you start to recognize so one like
Speaker 3: so when when the when his name is Chris in
Speaker 3: the movie. And so when Chris goes to meet his
Speaker 3: girlfriend's parents and family, he noticed a gardener and a
Speaker 3: maid who the maid is a black woman and the
Speaker 3: gardener's a black man, and they seem very strange. You know,
Speaker 3: He's like, what is happening? Like you know how like, well,
Speaker 3: if you're a person of color in general, there are
Speaker 3: certain norms that you expect, you know, like certain things
Speaker 3: that you say that even if you're you know, from
Speaker 3: down south or up north, but there's still certain things
Speaker 3: that you know are just part of our culture. But
Speaker 3: that I would say a good percentage of people, even
Speaker 3: if they don't partake in it. You just know, like
Speaker 3: certain phrases that you use. And so he was using
Speaker 3: them with them and they were like confused, like what
Speaker 3: are you talking about?
Speaker 2: He was a black guy, a fist bump, and he
Speaker 2: like Yeah, grabbed his you know, did like the the
Speaker 2: classic move where you like, you know, you put your
Speaker 2: hand around it like it's a handshake. Awkward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I forget what he said to the woman.
Speaker 3: He said something to her like, oh, something like I
Speaker 3: forget what it whatever it is. Oh.
Speaker 2: When he said that, he's he gets a little weirded
Speaker 2: out when there's so many white people around, and then
Speaker 2: she starts crying. Real creepy.
Speaker 3: Yes, it was Wheelchild. There was so much creepiness to
Speaker 3: it that you I was on the edge of my
Speaker 3: seat the whole time. I just kept waiting for like
Speaker 3: the thing to happen. And then when they started bidding
Speaker 3: him off, I was like, oh ah not.
Speaker 2: That almost made me cry. I was like, what's happening? Yeah,
Speaker 2: they were bidding on him just like an old slave days,
Speaker 2: like when you would bid on you know, black slaves.
Speaker 2: And the whole time they're like touching him and asking
Speaker 2: him what kind of sports do you play? You're so strong?
Speaker 2: It was it was a like a modern it what
Speaker 2: I it was the the movie everyone sort of it
Speaker 2: was like the acknowledgment that this fake post racial America
Speaker 2: is just a bunch of bs that's what Jordan Peele
Speaker 2: was was putting out there like we ain't, we ain't
Speaker 2: passed this, but did you know, like there was what's funny?
Speaker 2: I was reading some commentary apps. So I live in
Speaker 2: Jersey City. We went to the theater here. It's a
Speaker 2: very diverse theater. I feel like everyone in the theater
Speaker 2: was we were waiting for the twist. We knew she
Speaker 2: was up to no good. Like I knew Alison Williams
Speaker 2: was not like the woke, nice like savior of the movie,
Speaker 2: and like I was just waiting for Alison Williams to
Speaker 2: turn or whatever. But then I read that like a
Speaker 2: lot of people who weren't of color were shocked that
Speaker 2: she like had There was two different reactions depending on
Speaker 2: race to the twist where Alison Williams character Rose the daughter,
Speaker 2: ends up being in on it with the family, and
Speaker 2: then at the very end when the cop car shows
Speaker 2: up and yeah, she's on the ground and she's reaching
Speaker 2: for him, reaching for the cops and she's like help me.
Speaker 3: Every Blacks was like he's about to die.
Speaker 2: This is how it's gonna end. And then but then
Speaker 2: when it's a t wh it's Rod, Oh my god, Rod.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Yo, the whole theater erupted.
Speaker 2: Like small, let me give tsa agents cop cards. But
Speaker 2: I loved it. It was a nice the cop car
Speaker 2: set airport security, like he's steal that car from Thank
Speaker 2: God for him, Thank God for him. That movie would
Speaker 2: have been way too stressful without his comments.
Speaker 3: Belief. Yeah, and that's what I liked about it that Jordan.
Speaker 3: First of all, the fact that you know, for like,
Speaker 3: for those people who don't know the director, he's like
Speaker 3: a comedian known for like silliness and like if you ire.
Speaker 2: And peel, that felt like a two hour can Peel skit,
Speaker 2: but like way better than anything they've ever done. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So it was just wow. Yeah, well yeah, when
Speaker 3: I saw a cop car, I said, oh damn, they're
Speaker 3: not gonna believe him. But I'm not gonna lie and
Speaker 3: I'm not even bloodthirsty. But when he started to take
Speaker 3: the family out at the end, I was like, get god.
Speaker 2: I was so satisfying.
Speaker 3: Everybody would scream me in the theater, and I said, wow,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of pent up aggression in office because
Speaker 3: we were all so angry, you know, in like you know,
Speaker 3: of course in the movie kind of way. But you
Speaker 3: could say there was all those pent up like we
Speaker 3: have power and control now, like that we were living
Speaker 3: it through him, you know.
Speaker 2: Well just the entire first two thirds of the movie
Speaker 2: is him with all of the just facing all these
Speaker 2: microaggressive things people are saying to him, all these side
Speaker 2: comments and having a smile through it at that party
Speaker 2: with all her family's friends. And I feel like everyone
Speaker 2: can relate to that sort of you know, in small
Speaker 2: part or large part, like being the only one and
Speaker 2: walking around having people asking you these questions like oh,
Speaker 2: so you're an athlete, right, or hey, you know, let
Speaker 2: me touch your hair like that kind of stuff, you know,
Speaker 2: and I think, yeah, so, I think by the end
Speaker 2: of the movie, you're just so. It brought up a
Speaker 2: lot of, I think a personal experiences for people too.
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, like I don't think there's been people.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think there's been people removing parts
Speaker 2: of black men and women's brains and you know, replace
Speaker 2: them with their own. But I was just you know,
Speaker 2: to get the I was just listening to a little
Speaker 2: while ago of really just a story I never heard
Speaker 2: about about the origin of gynecology. Okay, there's a statue
Speaker 2: of a famous surgeon in Central Park who was the
Speaker 2: father of gynecology. How he developed the techniques that now
Speaker 2: save women's lives and help us with our with our
Speaker 2: our our reproductive health. He practiced on the bodies of
Speaker 2: female slaves without anesthesia. He would operate on them, operate
Speaker 2: on black women without their consent, dozens and dozens of
Speaker 2: dozens of times. There's three women in particular. And so
Speaker 2: it's not so far fetched. Yeah, like the themes he
Speaker 2: explores in the movie, it's not that crazy, it's.
Speaker 3: Not that crazy, Like you remember what happened that is
Speaker 3: it the Tuskegee experiment where they gave all of these
Speaker 3: black men syphilists to seem like the state like, it's
Speaker 3: not that far either, are these are people who would
Speaker 3: still be a live today. This it's not so far
Speaker 3: gone that this this couldn't have been your grandfather. And so,
Speaker 3: you know, people like to pretend that like, oh, you
Speaker 3: know you and this racism stuff, it's gone. Uh No,
Speaker 3: it's not gone. Like I think that this current election,
Speaker 3: this past election has shown that it was never gone
Speaker 3: like we like people have colored has been saying for
Speaker 3: the longest that it's not gone. It's been here. It
Speaker 3: has not gone away. And just because people have you know,
Speaker 3: masted in other ways, you know, doesn't mean that it
Speaker 3: was gone. It's just the movie was such a you know,
Speaker 3: for me, it was a release like afterwards, you know,
Speaker 3: you leave racially charged movies angry and tight. I'm telling you, like,
Speaker 3: I watched it in like hood of Newark, Like it's
Speaker 3: who owns it? Uh? The basketball player? Uh not Kobe Bryant,
Speaker 3: a really tall one, Shack. Shack owns it.
Speaker 2: That really tall basketball player. What's his name?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: The one?
Speaker 3: Oh right, So Shack owns the movie because he grew
Speaker 3: up in Newark and built this really nice movie theater
Speaker 3: called City Plex. I happen to like it. Some people
Speaker 3: are like, I don't think I went out.
Speaker 2: Where we met up that one time.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, yep, So that city Plex, right, So it
Speaker 3: was there, and it was the movie theater was full
Speaker 3: so much so we had to sit up front, and
Speaker 3: so it was full. And sometimes I you know, go
Speaker 3: into the movies with a bunch of brown folks and
Speaker 3: it's full, You're like, oh my god, shut up. But
Speaker 3: it was like, honestly that people were quiet when they
Speaker 3: needed to be yelling when they needed to be, and
Speaker 3: we all left with a peth in our step. When
Speaker 3: I say people are like after you, Madam.
Speaker 2: Oh Man, well think you know. I think what people
Speaker 2: like too is and I liked to I liked it too,
Speaker 2: is that it didn't Santa. It didn't like, give you
Speaker 2: one white hero. It was like, oh no, you thought
Speaker 2: she was cool? Nah, bruh. She's also like crazy. There
Speaker 2: was no white savior. It was Rod from TSA, okay
Speaker 2: from and Chris. Chris survived. You know, usually in horror
Speaker 2: films they say the black guys always first to die.
Speaker 2: He was the last one to walk out of that film.
Speaker 2: There was no white heroes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the savior. I love that. Yeah, great movie.
Speaker 3: If you haven't seen it and you're just now tuning
Speaker 3: back in because you don't want to hear the spoilers,
Speaker 3: go see get Out.
Speaker 2: Bring all your friends of different colors and just I
Speaker 2: feel like everyone should see it. I want my mom
Speaker 2: to go see it. She probably won't. I'm still trying
Speaker 2: to get her hidden figures. She's like, that's not for me.
Speaker 2: I want to see Sully, all right.
Speaker 3: Thought it was good though it was.
Speaker 2: Though it was but you know, different, different audience, but
Speaker 2: it was a good film.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Man, so before we die, we should probably get on
Speaker 2: with buzz brown breaks and brown boosts.
Speaker 3: Right, And so this is kind of like a slowly
Speaker 3: simmering brown break for me because I don't know. I
Speaker 3: just until I saw today. I don't know where I was,
Speaker 3: but I saw a bottle of water that said gluten free.
Speaker 2: Like, yes, low calorie diet water.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I'm so tired of people like gluten. First
Speaker 3: of all, most people do not have gluten analogy, like
Speaker 3: like you just don't, you know, like so you don't
Speaker 3: need to remove it from your diet. Like so if
Speaker 3: you have a gluten analogy, you will know. Your doctor
Speaker 3: will let you know because you're gonna have these reactions.
Speaker 3: It's okay. So to all this gluten free everything, especially
Speaker 3: stuff that's already gluten free, like we know, ma'am, Like
Speaker 3: water doesn't cover gluten. There's no need to label a
Speaker 3: gluten free. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: I feel like processed in a factory where bread products
Speaker 2: are there. No, this is your break, you go on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I just want to break from like I
Speaker 3: feel like it's like a badge of honor. I think
Speaker 3: I've read an article once that suburban moms that it's
Speaker 3: almost a badge of honor to be able to say, well,
Speaker 3: you know, Connor has a gluten analogy, a nut allergy,
Speaker 3: and a cheese dysfunction, so we could only eat milkshakes
Speaker 3: with like soy on Wednesdays. Like, it's almost like a
Speaker 3: badge of honor to like that your child is like
Speaker 3: riddled with disease.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, we're about to get some hate mail
Speaker 2: if we talk about parenting. But like, you know, our
Speaker 2: are I consider him my little I guess technically he's
Speaker 2: my cousin, but we're not even and I'm not married
Speaker 2: in the family. But anyway, our cousin's son who's two,
Speaker 2: has a bunch of little allergies and as a baby.
Speaker 2: But the mom is like, well, if we we're gonna
Speaker 2: try and slowly introduce some things later, because apparently when
Speaker 2: you're young, you're kind of allergic to everything, and if
Speaker 2: the parent, like if the mom doesn't eat a lot
Speaker 2: of some foods when she's pregnant, then apparently it can
Speaker 2: increase the odds of being allergic to stuff. But I
Speaker 2: do feel like parents know too much now, Like we
Speaker 2: just know too much, and like that makes you afraid
Speaker 2: to have people try different things. And yeah, I think
Speaker 2: there's like the overall like sanitation of like kids' lives
Speaker 2: now or I mean again, I don't have any of
Speaker 2: my own, but I do feel like I don't envy
Speaker 2: parents now because there's just way too much information then
Speaker 2: and if you read too much, everything is bad for kids.
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean one thing my mom used to
Speaker 3: tell us. I remember, like you know, like she said,
Speaker 3: go outside and play, get dirty. She was a nurse,
Speaker 3: and so even when she used to say people overuse antibacteria,
Speaker 3: she said, like she said, people overuse it like the
Speaker 3: only time, like we would if we were watching the dishes.
Speaker 3: My mom had regular soap like dan or whatever, and
Speaker 3: then she had antibacterial soap to wash dishes, and we
Speaker 3: were only allowed to use the antibacterial so if we
Speaker 3: were cleaning up after like cutting up raw chicken over
Speaker 3: our raw meat. She was like, Other than that, she said,
Speaker 3: you cannot get rid of all bacteria, then you do
Speaker 3: not build an immunity to and then you're susceptible to sickness.
Speaker 3: Even more so, so she was like really big on
Speaker 3: like you know, you don't you can be clean. It
Speaker 3: doesn't have to be bacteria free, because not all bacteria
Speaker 3: is terrible and bad for you. And I just feel
Speaker 3: like, like you said, there's this over sanitization. Is that a word? Yeah, sanitizing, right,
Speaker 3: And so I just like, I'm just like, I'm so
Speaker 3: sick of everything is you know, it's gluten free? You
Speaker 3: know it's gluten free. You're like, Carl, you do you
Speaker 3: need to be gluten free? Cause a minute ago you
Speaker 3: were eating gluten. You didn't even know what gluten was.
Speaker 3: Now everything gluten free. They're like, you know this this uh, this,
Speaker 3: you know, burrito filled with everything else that's terrible for
Speaker 3: you is gluten free. Though, You're like, well that what
Speaker 3: does that mean? Yeah? So I'm just like over it
Speaker 3: and I'm taking a brown break, not necessarily from gluten free,
Speaker 3: but just from everything having to have this random label
Speaker 3: for a small sector of the population that already knows
Speaker 3: they can't have gluten. The rest of y'all are.
Speaker 2: Fine, I do I've never seen that before. Well, real quick,
Speaker 2: I'll say, two of my best friends and my bridesmaids
Speaker 2: are do you have gluten allergies? So one of them
Speaker 2: is severely has a gluten allergy where like, and it's
Speaker 2: always me who screws the things up. So we have
Speaker 2: this camping trip every year and glamping and we don't
Speaker 2: like stay in tense most of the time. And like
Speaker 2: this year, I mean every year, I do something stupid
Speaker 2: and I mess up something and she can't eat with
Speaker 2: it or whatever because she's so severely allergic to gluten
Speaker 2: that if you cook, if you cook like a grilled
Speaker 2: cheese in one pan, she can no longer eat anything
Speaker 2: out of that pan because the residue from the gluten
Speaker 2: is in the pan. Like it is serious, and she
Speaker 2: gets very very ill. And she's been tested and all that.
Speaker 2: And of course, like last year I was using I
Speaker 2: was cooking like breakfast, and I was like, dude, and
Speaker 2: I'm gonna worm up my tortilla and put it on
Speaker 2: my poor Diana's gluten freeze like pristine pan. I had
Speaker 2: to like buy her new pants. It was a whole deal.
Speaker 2: And then my other friend wasn't it doesn't have a
Speaker 2: gluten allergy, but if you stop eating gluten. And I've
Speaker 2: discovered this too with my lactose intolerance. As soon as
Speaker 2: I stopped eating cheese, I made myself even more allergic
Speaker 2: to it. So before I could I could sneak a
Speaker 2: little bit here or there. Now I'm just screwed, like
Speaker 2: I'm too sensitive to it.
Speaker 3: You take the gluten all the way out and reintroducing
Speaker 3: it if like, let's just say you just take it
Speaker 3: ucause you're like, oh, it's better for me, although you
Speaker 3: don't have the allergy, reintroducing it it's very difficult. I've
Speaker 3: heard that. That's why I'm like, I just I don't
Speaker 3: you know, I don't subscribe to like well girl unless
Speaker 3: you really are lactolton tolerant or what. I'm not saying that,
Speaker 3: you know, if you're like vegan or whatever, but just
Speaker 3: know that if you're going to take the gluten now,
Speaker 3: then bringing it back in is going to be difficult
Speaker 3: without feeling sick.
Speaker 2: I also think if you like some people who say
Speaker 2: they're gluten free, they like have a salad like O,
Speaker 2: I'm being gluten free today, but tomorrow I'll have a bread.
Speaker 2: If you're really if like you're like my friend Diana,
Speaker 2: bless her heart, it is not a fun life, Like
Speaker 2: it is not fun to not be able to eat anything.
Speaker 2: She'll just show up with like a bag of peanut
Speaker 2: Eminem's and she's like, this is my dinner because there's
Speaker 2: no gluten free there's you know, you can't eat at restaurants.
Speaker 2: We'll go out and eat delicious brunches and she's like,
Speaker 2: I'll just eat these nuts. You know, it's not it's
Speaker 2: not a fun life. But uh, I totally get it.
Speaker 2: Gluten free water is ri donkeulous.
Speaker 3: Doculous. Yes, I'm like, what, ma'am, doesn't it come gluten free?
Speaker 3: Are you people injecting gluten into her water? Like what happened?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna do a brown boost this week. I
Speaker 2: could go either way because I'm three weeks away from
Speaker 2: the big w day and I kind of lost my
Speaker 2: gd mind last week, Like I reached the point of
Speaker 2: like sanity breakage between work and like wedding stuff. And
Speaker 2: you know, I've I've up until this point, I've been
Speaker 2: really like lucky. The wedding planning has been going fine.
Speaker 2: We're not going broke. Everything is cool, it's all working out.
Speaker 2: But this week was the week when everyone decided to
Speaker 2: start bothering me and there was guestless drama and one
Speaker 2: cousin didn't feel like her boyfriend was invited, and it
Speaker 2: was a whole ordeal and all of a sudden getting
Speaker 2: calls for my mother, who heard it from my aunt,
Speaker 2: who heard it from my uncle, who heard it from
Speaker 2: so his daughter, and like it's just crazy family stuff.
Speaker 2: But and then you know, just you know, work has
Speaker 2: been insane because I'll be gone two weeks and so
Speaker 2: I've been trying to plan ahead for all of April.
Speaker 2: But so I'm gonna take the negative and turn it
Speaker 2: into a boost. So the only reason I survived last
Speaker 2: week were two things. One Cabernet salmono, thank you very much, yeah,
Speaker 2: And two two was I started this group we randomly,
Speaker 2: I don't know how, I think someone, you know, we
Speaker 2: went to a baby shower together, and then a bunch
Speaker 2: of my girlfriends ended up on a group text together,
Speaker 2: which could be the worst thing ever when you're on
Speaker 2: a group text and you just get tired of it
Speaker 2: because it's always pinging and you you don't want to
Speaker 2: be involved or whatever. But this group text with all
Speaker 2: like these five or six women, and I think all
Speaker 2: but two of us have small children, and anyway, we
Speaker 2: just during the week we just like started texting and
Speaker 2: like opening up about all we were going through and
Speaker 2: like griping and like venting, and I really felt like
Speaker 2: they dug like it helped me get out of my
Speaker 2: hole of like deep dark ickiness. So I in that moment,
Speaker 2: I've never felt so strong. I didn't say it because
Speaker 2: I didn't want to be weird, but I was like,
Speaker 2: I literally I understand how important it is in this
Speaker 2: moment to have girlfriends in your life, because being a
Speaker 2: woman is so freaking hard sometimes, and I this week,
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is not fair. It is so freaking hard.
Speaker 2: I've got to look good for the wedding. I worry
Speaker 2: about my hair. I've got to watch what I eat.
Speaker 2: I've gotta be a badass at work. I've got to
Speaker 2: manage crazy colleagues. I've gotta I've gotta deal with all
Speaker 2: this crap from the wedding. And like, you know, they're
Speaker 2: never blowing up the man's phone when there's issues with
Speaker 2: the wedding. It's always you know, the woman who gets
Speaker 2: all the questions and like and then you gotta cook,
Speaker 2: and you gotta clean, and you gotta like be you know, presentable,
Speaker 2: and and I could go on and on. There's it
Speaker 2: just really felt like everything this week was just like
Speaker 2: the like the world was just screaming like like you're
Speaker 2: a woman, and that just means we're just gonna dump
Speaker 2: on you, you know. So I really I just wanted
Speaker 2: to say to my girlfriends, who probably don't know how
Speaker 2: much they helped me just listening and letting me vent.
Speaker 2: And we all just kind of like let each other vent.
Speaker 2: And you know, they were complaining because you know, one
Speaker 2: of the husbands mixed the baby formula wrong and we
Speaker 2: all were like, yeah, we clean off a lot of
Speaker 2: pea off the toilet seat. That's crazy. And just that
Speaker 2: little like bit of release was really nice. And also
Speaker 2: the wine helped. But yeah, that was it was rough.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. I'm this week. I'm determined to
Speaker 2: Like I've been to three dance classes. I went to
Speaker 2: dance class Friday, Saturday, and Sunday because that's the only
Speaker 2: thing I feel like I can do. Besides, I was like,
Speaker 2: I can't just keep drinking, so I went to dance
Speaker 2: class to like destress and that helped. But I'm really like,
Speaker 2: I don't want to go nuts. It's not a good look. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we don't have much time before the world ends, so
Speaker 2: let's move on.
Speaker 3: It's man, anybody has some some cues. They need some
Speaker 3: a's for I like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, I liked it too. Oh real quick, I need
Speaker 2: to tell you what I watched last week for the
Speaker 2: first time ever. Thank you for being in a friend.
Speaker 2: It was time for the gold Yes, my first time
Speaker 2: ever watching the Golden Girls. Like sitting through an episode.
Speaker 2: It was probably one of the highlights of the week.
Speaker 2: It was a very bad week.
Speaker 3: Welcome.
Speaker 2: It's freaking hilarious. H hilarious.
Speaker 3: Wait, who is your favorite?
Speaker 2: Ruth is the Shade Queen? Like so much?
Speaker 3: I'm like, Ruth, you have a call by their like
Speaker 3: stage name.
Speaker 2: Tall Skinny, Oh, the tall one.
Speaker 3: Dorothy, the Shade Queen. Okay, Dorothy?
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't is there her nickname Ruth? I feel like
Speaker 2: they called her Ruth. Dorothy is a shade Queen and
Speaker 2: every remark is sarcastic and fabulous. But I want to
Speaker 2: know where the gay son that was in first episode
Speaker 2: though he disappeared.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, he didn't like they they honestly you'll see
Speaker 3: as you start to watch more. They tackled a lot
Speaker 3: of things that you're like, really back at this time,
Speaker 3: Like they tackled transgender transgender back then.
Speaker 2: Did they? Yeah, I watched the first three.
Speaker 3: I think yeah, so that I think they they brought
Speaker 3: him on and then they were like, eh, I guess
Speaker 3: I don't know, he didn't test well or whatever, but yeah,
Speaker 3: so you won't see him like again. Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: he was like on for an episode or two and
Speaker 3: they were like, it didn't really. I guess it didn't
Speaker 3: really like resonate with the audience. They really because I
Speaker 3: guess it was mostly women watching, and they love the friendship,
Speaker 3: like that's what really made women come in and connect.
Speaker 3: So Blanche is a slut, like everybody loves Blanche. Right,
Speaker 3: So that's the one. You're like Blanche another man, right,

Speaker 2: and sometimes I answer them personally. So yeah, Brownambition Podcast
Speaker 2: at gmail dot com or site Bronambition podcast dot com.
Speaker 2: And I've lost my questions here. Okay, here they are Okay.
Speaker 2: Number one, this is from AVI. I think I said
Speaker 2: that writer ave AV. Currently, I have over twenty thousand
Speaker 2: dollars in credit card debt across three credit cards. One
Speaker 2: has twelve thousand something, the other one has four thousand,
Speaker 2: and the last one has three thousand. At the same time,
Speaker 2: she says, I have over twenty six thousand in savings
Speaker 2: across different accounts dedicated to different reasons. One savings account
Speaker 2: has a little over eleven thousand dollars, which I'm going
Speaker 2: to use for a down payment when I decide to
Speaker 2: buy a car. Right now, I do not have a
Speaker 2: car payment, and I'm trying to keep it that way
Speaker 2: for as long as I can. Driving in a nineteen
Speaker 2: ninety eight Toryota.
Speaker 3: Oh girl, me and you are twins. You can relate,
Speaker 3: but I'm fancy er. I have a ninety nine, so
Speaker 3: I'm fansy.
Speaker 2: The other two accounts are for travel, slash fund and emergencies.
Speaker 2: I've been thinking about paying off my debt with my savings,
Speaker 2: but I'm very afraid to do so. I like having
Speaker 2: the savings in case something happens, but then I think
Speaker 2: about how much more I could save if I got
Speaker 2: rid of the debt. What do you think should I
Speaker 2: use my savings to pay off my debt? And if so,
Speaker 2: how do I go about doing that without using too
Speaker 2: much of my savings? Excellent question.
Speaker 3: It is an excellent question, and she's in a unique position.
Speaker 3: Normally I tell people, definitely, pay off the one that
Speaker 3: is the lowest. But because she actually has enough to
Speaker 3: cover it all, and I'm not saying she should use
Speaker 3: it to cover it all, what I would say is
Speaker 3: which credit card is costing you the most, meaning which
Speaker 3: credit card has the highest interest rate, and at the
Speaker 3: very least get rid of that one. Pay that one
Speaker 3: of so at least you know, so, maybe it's a
Speaker 3: three thousand dollars one, just pay off the three Maybe
Speaker 3: it's the twelve thousand, then pay that one.
Speaker 2: Probably is the twelve thousand other one, Yeah, I know right,
Speaker 2: even if it's that's perfect credit. I have a great
Speaker 2: credit score. Even on my best credit card. My my
Speaker 2: interest rate is still like sixteen percent. Really mm hmm yep.
Speaker 3: My interest rate on my best credit card. That's because
Speaker 3: I locked it in when I got it. They had
Speaker 3: some rare promotion where if you're never late and never
Speaker 3: this and never that. My lowest credit card, my interest
Speaker 3: rate is like a five point something percent.
Speaker 2: Wow, when did you get that? Must have been years ago?
Speaker 3: Yeah, years ago? Like this is like when like I
Speaker 3: had to be it had to be almost like ten
Speaker 3: years ago. But I locked in that rate, but it
Speaker 3: were all these stipulations that went with it, and I
Speaker 3: was able to lock it in and so and then
Speaker 3: my other one, my my my oldest credit card, that
Speaker 3: interest rate is like.
Speaker 2: I have one of those too. I'm just like, just
Speaker 2: in case, I'll keep it. But there's there's no ways
Speaker 2: that she's saving money by not paying It's such as
Speaker 2: what I really is, what really I relate to with
Speaker 2: with her with AVI is that is the is the
Speaker 2: psycho the psychological factor here that she doesn't want to
Speaker 2: get rid of her savings because she's worked so hard.
Speaker 2: But logically it doesn't make sense to keep your money
Speaker 2: and hoard it and savings. But you're probably not earning
Speaker 2: more than point you know one, like you're probably not
Speaker 2: earning more than one percent. I think that's the best
Speaker 2: rate you can get, maybe one point five percent. I mean,
Speaker 2: you're spending so much more in interest, like unless and
Speaker 2: she doesn't mention her interest rates, but I let's assume
Speaker 2: that they you know, she's not having all this is
Speaker 2: on interest bearing credit cards. Like logically doesn't make sense. Psychologically,
Speaker 2: I can understand why it's so hard. Like we just
Speaker 2: got I just got a pretty sizeable tax refund and
Speaker 2: we had a we had our call with our financial
Speaker 2: planner last week, and I was thinking, oh, yes, this
Speaker 2: is gonna go right back in the bank because we're
Speaker 2: saying we just you know, spend this money on the
Speaker 2: wedding and that's this will cover so much and we
Speaker 2: can start replenishing. And then fiance bou was like, maybe
Speaker 2: we should put this on the car pay the car
Speaker 2: loan because we paid for the car half cash and
Speaker 2: we still had about half the loan left. And I
Speaker 2: was immediately I was like, but it's mine and I
Speaker 2: want to put it in savings. Ah my my refund.
Speaker 2: Why are you taking it for me? But then the
Speaker 2: planner was like, well, you know, I mean our car
Speaker 2: loan is what three percent, it's not two point seven
Speaker 2: something percent, it's not very high, but it's still three
Speaker 2: times as high as what I'm getting even in my
Speaker 2: ally account, you know, almost, So they convinced me not,
Speaker 2: I'm not putting the entire refund toward the car loan.
Speaker 2: My my justification for not putting it all toward the
Speaker 2: car loan was that, well, you know, if something terrible happens,
Speaker 2: we can't, like I don't know, I don't. I don't
Speaker 2: feel like a car is an investment, like you can
Speaker 2: sell it. I guess yes, but it's always depreciating. So
Speaker 2: for me, I'm not in a huge hurry to like
Speaker 2: pay it off. It's a low interest, so we're gonna
Speaker 2: put a chunk towards the car. I got talked into it,
Speaker 2: but to help me sleep at night, we're putting a
Speaker 2: little bit in savings too good. And I feel like
Speaker 2: maybe some sort of hybrid approach for her might.
Speaker 3: Be better, because I mean, even though you could be like, well, girl,
Speaker 3: you'll still have six thousands, I would save, it's hard
Speaker 3: for people to to, you know, adjust to that different
Speaker 3: from having twenty six thousand and having six. So I would.
Speaker 3: So either this is what I would say. Either you
Speaker 3: pay off the two smaller ones or pay off the
Speaker 3: larger one, whichever whichever the interest rate, whichever has the
Speaker 3: highest interest rate. So either you're paying like whatever it is,
Speaker 3: like what eight thousand or you're paying twelve, and then
Speaker 3: from there you could pay down the other one systematically
Speaker 3: if that makes you feel better, But that's what I
Speaker 3: would do. So save some, but definitely pay off some,
Speaker 3: because it's you're literally it's costing you money to save,
Speaker 3: Like that's crazy. You're losing money saving and it doesn't
Speaker 3: make sense to do it that way.
Speaker 2: And I think also too, you have to understand when
Speaker 2: you've saved enough, which might be hard for people. I'm
Speaker 2: a hoarder of savings. I'm like, I'll never have enough. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but at a certain point, you have twenty six thousand,
Speaker 2: you have probably more than enough to cover six months
Speaker 2: of living expenses and enough for your down payment. Maybe
Speaker 2: you know the travel fund you can take like a
Speaker 2: domestic travel trip or something. It sounds like you have plenty,
Speaker 2: So maybe stop saving as much as you've been saving
Speaker 2: and start putting aggressively everything you can toward paying down
Speaker 2: your debts. You know, take a little chunk, pay off
Speaker 2: that credit card or too credit cards or whatever, and
Speaker 2: then just start stop saving for a little while because
Speaker 2: you've got enough in liquid savings for if anything happened
Speaker 2: to you know, God forbid, something happens and you need money,
Speaker 2: you're covered. Take this time and start putting everything you
Speaker 2: can toward your debt that you've been putting towards savings
Speaker 2: now and just think of that as just try and
Speaker 2: change the way that you think about paying down your debt.
Speaker 2: Don't think of it as losing money. You're saving money
Speaker 2: by paying off that debt. It's just a matter of
Speaker 2: like rewriting, like rewiring your brain around saving and spending. Yeah,
Speaker 2: excellent question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a good question, all right.
Speaker 2: Next question is from Dominique. She says, I love the podcast.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: I am almost five years out of law school, and
Speaker 2: like many Newish lawyers, I have a mortgage on my brain.
Speaker 2: I don't know what she means on my brain. I
Speaker 2: have a mortgage totaling over two hundred thousand. Oh, she
Speaker 2: means student loans. I have a mortgage on my brain.
Speaker 2: That's clever. I didn't get it.
Speaker 3: That must be that lawyer so smart, Like is she
Speaker 3: thinking about margage on her brain? Like in her thought?
Speaker 2: She means she has over two hundred thousand dollars of
Speaker 2: student loan debt from law school. Got it? I'm with you, girl.
Speaker 2: I have worked for the government for the last four
Speaker 2: and a half years. My position qualifies me for public
Speaker 2: student loan forgiveness, which we requires a total of ten
Speaker 2: years in public service. So I'm almost halfway there my
Speaker 2: term position with my current employer's ending, and I'm trying
Speaker 2: to figure out whether I should stay in the government
Speaker 2: to get my loans forgiven, or work for a big
Speaker 2: private firm and make a salary that will allow me
Speaker 2: to pay my loans back in approximately eight years. While
Speaker 2: it may seem like an obvious decision to stay in
Speaker 2: government to get my loans forgiven, I ultimately want to
Speaker 2: work in private practice. In the transition to private practice
Speaker 2: after ten years in government can be extremely difficult. I
Speaker 2: really appreciate your perspectives, Miss Domino. I know what I'm
Speaker 2: going to sign.
Speaker 3: I I mean, of course, my first reaction was like, girl,
Speaker 3: you about to get your loans forgiven. But then so,
Speaker 3: this is what I would probably do, And this is
Speaker 3: what I used to tell like my best friend when
Speaker 3: she would already be like, oh, should I go for
Speaker 3: this job or this job? I'm not sure? I'm like, girl,
Speaker 3: have you applied and been offered? So I would say
Speaker 3: before you make a decision about to see which you know,
Speaker 3: if the money, because what if you apply and then
Speaker 3: the offer does not make sense financially, Like, so I
Speaker 3: would see, like you're assuming that you know you're going
Speaker 3: to get a job in private and that the private
Speaker 3: money is going to be enough, so there's no harm,
Speaker 3: and let's see because if it is going to be enough,
Speaker 3: then I would say make that move. Let the money
Speaker 3: make the decision for you. And then if it doesn't
Speaker 3: really make sense, is there things you could do on
Speaker 3: the side. So let's just say you work for government,
Speaker 3: are there things that you can do to still keep
Speaker 3: your foot in the private door if the money doesn't
Speaker 3: make sense to make that switch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know with fiance, he works for the government
Speaker 2: and we've talked with us before. He's like, I could
Speaker 2: make double my salary if I was in the private sector. Probably,
Speaker 2: But working in the government is super tempting because there's
Speaker 2: so many sweet benefits. He's got an awesome pension, Like
Speaker 2: who has a pension, who, like our age has pensions anymore.
Speaker 2: He will get his student loans forgiven eventually, his federal
Speaker 2: student loans. There's great job security once you're in you're
Speaker 2: kind of in and so I completely like can like
Speaker 2: the conundrum here, Like herd indecisiveness, I completely understand which
Speaker 2: is going through in terms of public student loan forgiveness.
Speaker 2: One thing I'll say is do the math, because sometimes
Speaker 2: you're not well. First of all, two hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 2: is a lot of student loan debt. I'm not sure
Speaker 2: if all that is federal loan debt. And when we
Speaker 2: talk about public student loan forgiveness, we're only talking about
Speaker 2: federal loan debt. So how much do you really stand
Speaker 2: to get forgiven? A lot of people I know who
Speaker 2: are have law degrees have a lot of private debt,
Speaker 2: and that private debt won't be included in this public
Speaker 2: student loan forgiveness program. First and foremost, so how much
Speaker 2: are you really going to be saving. You'll still probably
Speaker 2: be left with debt even if your loans are forgiven.
Speaker 2: And I totally agree with Tiffany, like you need to
Speaker 2: actually see on paper what you can stand to make
Speaker 2: in the private sector. Maybe there's some sweet sign on
Speaker 2: bonus that could help you take out a chunk of loans.
Speaker 2: You know, I need to get my little baby brother
Speaker 2: a shout out real quick though, because he graduated college
Speaker 2: in May with thirty thousand dollars in student loan debt.
Speaker 2: He has zero debt today. It's been less than a year.
Speaker 2: Well that's not true. He graduated over dang, wait he's old.
Speaker 2: Oh no, the time's would be too fast. He graduated Okay, sorry, okay,
Speaker 2: two years ago. He graduated was still amazing. So two
Speaker 2: years ago he graduated with thirty thousand dollars thirty thousand
Speaker 2: dollars student loan debt. He just made his last payment
Speaker 2: with the bonus check last month. And the reason he
Speaker 2: was able to do that is because he went from
Speaker 2: college and took a good paying job in sales that
Speaker 2: came with great potential to earn bonuses, and that he
Speaker 2: has a relatively normal like base salary, but it was
Speaker 2: the potential to earn all these bonuses and commissions. And
Speaker 2: he's been kicking ass and putting down you know, paying
Speaker 2: off his loans along the way. And I was like, Alex,
Speaker 2: they could fire you tomorrow and you would have just
Speaker 2: gotten such a huge return on your investment for that
Speaker 2: time you spend that job, because it gave you the
Speaker 2: financial ability to pay off your student loan debt.
Speaker 3: And if nothing like so, so you see, there's no
Speaker 3: right or wrong. It really just kind of like depends
Speaker 3: on like what will the market bear and where where
Speaker 3: does it make sense.
Speaker 2: So it's tough out there being a lawyer right now.
Speaker 2: It's hard to find jobs. You definitely. I feel like
Speaker 2: when you have a I say, don't stop looking like
Speaker 2: like be out there, be letting people know that you're
Speaker 2: looking for work in the private sector. Just put that
Speaker 2: message out there because you never know what will come
Speaker 2: your way. Don't It doesn't have to be like an
Speaker 2: ear or right now, like you can still put feelers
Speaker 2: out and be shopping around for the other work until
Speaker 2: you find that really sweet offer in the meantime what.
Speaker 3: Yeah, collect you're right, like chaperon, I like that till
Speaker 3: she finds that sweet offer that makes sense to jump
Speaker 3: jump public ship, you know.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, like you said, you're working toward you know,
Speaker 2: you're serving the country, which is awesome, and then you're
Speaker 2: working toward your public suited a loan forgive, which is
Speaker 2: also awesome. So you really like you're in a good place. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's just going to depend on how sweet
Speaker 2: that private sector. Job offer is at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, you kind of have to do what you
Speaker 2: know works best for you and your dollars. But do
Speaker 2: the math, find out how much that debt's actually federal
Speaker 2: and how much you can stand to get forgiven after
Speaker 2: ten years. Yeah, good questions today. And I said, good
Speaker 2: questions today.
Speaker 3: I know you guys have you know, really good questions.
Speaker 2: I'm really glad I'm not alone. I have such a
Speaker 2: weird like mental block when it comes to saving money
Speaker 2: and like paying down things. I don't know. It's taken
Speaker 2: me a while.
Speaker 3: I'm realizing I took a So in my my liberature academy,
Speaker 3: you know, we just closed the registration. But last or
Speaker 3: last Sunday or Sunday before last, every Sunday we have
Speaker 3: something called ask the Expert. Maybe you have to come on.
Speaker 3: We have asked the expert because they like love you anyway.
Speaker 3: They're like, what, Madra, come on, let me know. And
Speaker 3: so every Sunday we have asked the Expert. And then
Speaker 3: I have one of my friends who's dope and is
Speaker 3: an expert in a specific field, come on and just
Speaker 3: do a live Q and A. It's fun and loose,
Speaker 3: and so I had my friend Karra of the Frugal Feminista.
Speaker 3: She came on and she talked about your emotional and
Speaker 3: mental state around money. I mean, she almost had all
Speaker 3: of us crying, like it was so good because she
Speaker 3: really talked about like why do you make the choice
Speaker 3: that you made. I did not realize, like you know
Speaker 3: how I have my old car and I make a
Speaker 3: joke out of it, but she was really like, Tiffany, why,
Speaker 3: like honestly, why do you, like you know, the car
Speaker 3: is no longer even really safe? Like why? She said,
Speaker 3: especially women of color, we tend to carry this thing
Speaker 3: around with us like a badge of honor, like I
Speaker 3: don't treat myself, I don't do for myself. It's like
Speaker 3: it's a badge of honor and we're rewarded for like yeah, girl,
Speaker 3: don't do anything good for yourself. And I'm like, wait,
Speaker 3: is that what I'm doing? And she was like, you know,
Speaker 3: what is it that you tell yourself why you don't
Speaker 3: really spend? And I said, well, I just said I
Speaker 3: don't want to be irresponsible. And she said, Tiffany, have
Speaker 3: you ever been an irresponsible spender? And I can honestly say,
Speaker 3: sat Andy outside of maybe when I was like fifteen
Speaker 3: and I got my first job. Never not in my twenties,
Speaker 3: not even during the recession. I was able to live
Speaker 3: off no income for two years because of my saving habits.
Speaker 3: So I've never been irresponsible with spending. So she said, so,
Speaker 3: why why this fear, because that's not you that she said.
Speaker 3: She said something so powerful. She said, spending is not irresponsible.
Speaker 3: Spending irresponsibly is irresponsible. And she was like and I'm like,
Speaker 3: so She's like, I don't know where you got that
Speaker 3: messaging from, but you have to ask yourself, you know why,
Speaker 3: and to let that go because now you're holding yourself
Speaker 3: back from like basic. I mean, if I tell you
Speaker 3: how much I made during the Academy launch, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm thinking like, oh, you know what, but what made
Speaker 3: pretty good money? You know, because we don't The Academy
Speaker 3: is less than twenty bucks a month, and even then
Speaker 3: it was on sale the whole time, so no one
Speaker 3: paid more than like sixteen or seventeen bucks for a
Speaker 3: monthly subscription. And we keep it really low on purpose
Speaker 3: because I want people to have access. So I'm thinking like, oh,
Speaker 3: you know, we'll do fine. No, Mandy, I mean I
Speaker 3: made just under two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
Speaker 3: ten days, like why the hell?
Speaker 2: But even before that, I was thinking, why is she
Speaker 2: driving this clunker? I've seen it in person. It doesn't
Speaker 2: make any sense.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Can you please get in a car brand ambition? Please
Speaker 2: tell test me to get a new car.
Speaker 3: It was giving me like anxiety of thinking of like
Speaker 3: going to buy a car. It's so crazy because if
Speaker 3: you were to say, you know, your sister needs a car,
Speaker 3: can you buy her one, I'd say, Okay, your mom
Speaker 3: needs a car, Okay, superman, super okay. But when it
Speaker 3: comes to me, I'm always like, well, I don't really
Speaker 3: like it's not a need. I don't. I don't really
Speaker 3: need it. I don't. And so really like working past
Speaker 3: that because it's I didn't think it was a problem
Speaker 3: until she really kind of maybe laid on the line
Speaker 3: and I thought, wow, what And so here's an activity
Speaker 3: for anybody who might be going or not or wondering
Speaker 3: if they have an issue with finding because I didn't
Speaker 3: think I had an issue with money. And she said,
Speaker 3: you know, list anywhere from five to ten of your
Speaker 3: money thoughts, like you know, spending is irresponsible whatever it is.
Speaker 3: The things do you tell yourself over and over and
Speaker 3: then next to those things, write down whether this is
Speaker 3: a positive money thought or a negative money thoughts to
Speaker 3: kind of see like gauge where you are as the
Speaker 3: way you think about money, and then really rewarding the
Speaker 3: negative money thoughts. Like for me, I said, spending is irresponsible,
Speaker 3: but really it should be Spending irresponsibly is irresponsible. So
Speaker 3: I'm learning to reword my money thoughts and mantras that
Speaker 3: I've been repeating to myself and that have kept me
Speaker 3: here because mane I'm I'm so afraid that if I
Speaker 3: buy a car, but what if nobody likes the budget
Speaker 3: eesta anymore and my business closed down? Like how will
Speaker 3: I pay rent? How would I? Meanwhile, I used to
Speaker 3: make thirty five thousand dollars a year. I've got enough
Speaker 3: money that I could not work for like six years,
Speaker 3: but and I don't know why, and so yeah, so
Speaker 3: it was just really powerful and it just goes to
Speaker 3: show you just you sometimes you think things are so small.
Speaker 3: I thought, like, you know, it was kind of funny
Speaker 3: that I didn't get a car, But I'm realizing it
Speaker 3: really isn't like there's a reason that I'm holding it
Speaker 3: back from myself and why I would never do that
Speaker 3: to anybody that I cared about, but I do that
Speaker 3: to myself. And I'm like, Okay, I have to break
Speaker 3: past this. And yeah, I don't even know where that
Speaker 3: came from randomly, but I just it just hit me,
Speaker 3: like like thinking about you coming on on Ask the Expert,
Speaker 3: and how that that particular Assi Expert was so powerful
Speaker 3: not just for me, but so many of us watching
Speaker 3: it because so many women do that. You know, we
Speaker 3: people talk about overspending. People don't talk about the underspenders.
Speaker 2: M h.
Speaker 3: That's detrimental.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like a it's there's so many different
Speaker 2: I mean, if you've ever gone to like a therapist
Speaker 2: or anything like that, even in couples therapy, we've been
Speaker 2: discussing finances and it's all interrelated relationship with the money
Speaker 2: has a lot to do with your you know, your
Speaker 2: childhood and like it sounds corny and cliche, but it
Speaker 2: legitimately does. I you know, we've been talking about our
Speaker 2: childhoods and I'm like, oh, so that's why this and
Speaker 2: that and you and you think you're a grown adult
Speaker 2: and you should be over you can overcome those things,
Speaker 2: but you're you're always sort of carrying around those perceptions
Speaker 2: and that mentality and like the negativity you associate with
Speaker 2: money in certain ways. I'm not irresponsible, but I am
Speaker 2: a I'm an impulsive spender. Sometimes when I was a
Speaker 2: kid growing up, my mom would be the first to
Speaker 2: be like, you deserve it. Just treat yourself like, you know,
Speaker 2: be really like it was almost like you you It's
Speaker 2: like when you crash diet and you hold everything back
Speaker 2: from yourselves and then you you binge on like a
Speaker 2: box of cereal. Not that I'm speaking from experience or
Speaker 2: anything like that, but like I, you know, I obsessed
Speaker 2: about saving. I obsessed that I obsessed that I obsessed,
Speaker 2: And then I'm just like so rigid. And then I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go to nord Stream online and just online
Speaker 2: shop and I'm gonna go and like binge on shopping
Speaker 2: for two days and have all these boxes show up
Speaker 2: at my front door. And this happens to me. I
Speaker 2: have these crazy Yeah, there's these crazy, these crazy rules
Speaker 2: I impose on myself that then make me like lash
Speaker 2: out later on and like binge in different ways. And
Speaker 2: and lately it's like binging on shopping because I've been
Speaker 2: like holding myself back for so long, saving saving, saving,
Speaker 2: So yeah, I I I would love to talk more
Speaker 2: about and explore. Maybe it'd have frugal feminises what's her name,
Speaker 2: frugal feminie stuff.
Speaker 3: She honestly, that would be awesome.
Speaker 2: It was so stuff to her name or no, no.
Speaker 3: Family women, like you know, like empowerment for for women
Speaker 3: in like you know, really exploring like you know your
Speaker 3: your why and how to let go of these things
Speaker 3: that we told ourselves. So yeah, I think, honestly, I
Speaker 3: think that she would be awesome because I'm still like
Speaker 3: she still calls to check on me. She said, Tiany,
Speaker 3: have you made the appointment to go see a car?
Speaker 3: Have you mad? And I'm like no, yeah, She's like okay,
Speaker 3: next week I'm calling again. I'm like okay. And so
Speaker 3: like just breaking through and being like she said, honestly,
Speaker 3: she said something really good for me to start, She said,
Speaker 3: purchase something under one hundred dollars without thought like don't
Speaker 3: like oh no, no it's cute, you like it? Get it?
Speaker 3: She was like one hundred dollar because you know that's
Speaker 3: a threshold that you should be able to break past
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars is clearly not going to do anything
Speaker 3: to any of the money that you have saved. You're
Speaker 3: gonna just get something that's one hundred dollars around that
Speaker 3: range and you're not going to and you're gonna see
Speaker 3: the world did not crumble because you bought a hundred
Speaker 3: dollars item.
Speaker 2: And I was like, need some help. I take you
Speaker 2: my way.
Speaker 3: I mean, I need some things if you want to know,
Speaker 3: But I so for because I know, like I'm like,
Speaker 3: I know it's so heavy, So I want to I
Speaker 3: want to end with a lighthearted wind, which I think
Speaker 3: that everyone has seen this, this viral video, and it is.
Speaker 2: Gonna be the same as mine.
Speaker 3: Fine, go ahead, No, no, we we could do it
Speaker 3: drag win Okay, So no, right, so let's set the
Speaker 3: stage right BBC News, correct.
Speaker 2: Manny, Yes, I so identify with this man.
Speaker 3: So I would say forty is right in mid mid forties, yeap,
Speaker 3: white gentlemen, very proper you.
Speaker 2: Know, business suit time. Yeah, in a home.
Speaker 3: Office, yes, getting interviewed about North Korea, very serious business
Speaker 3: BBC International, well known, well respected media outlet. So said, white, young, white,
Speaker 3: middle aged gentlemen. You know very proper is speaking, and
Speaker 3: the door creaks open, and what happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just hearded picturing. And again, I've watched it
Speaker 2: so many times I don't even have to watch it
Speaker 2: again because I haven't. I can tell you how many
Speaker 2: times she moves her elbows up and down. She's doing
Speaker 2: like the funky chicken. She had glasses on and a
Speaker 2: yellow sweater.
Speaker 3: Yes, curly brown hair. So his daughter. I think she
Speaker 3: was about two years old. Yeah, creap, the doorky locked.
Speaker 3: She opens the door, it creas open, and what you
Speaker 3: see is this little cute little girl with curly brown
Speaker 3: hair and a bright yellow sweater and zero like glad zero,
Speaker 3: and she does adore the explorer like I can't even
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of the arm like she did
Speaker 3: like an arm pump, like you see me, you like,
Speaker 3: arms up and down like she did a little jig
Speaker 3: coming into the room, like ah, daddy's a TV me too.
Speaker 3: And what's so hilarious is that he is in the
Speaker 3: middle of explaining some serious business with your koreer and
Speaker 3: does not hear her, does not know she's behind him,
Speaker 3: while she is getting it in for like a good
Speaker 3: maybe like five seconds so she comes right behind him
Speaker 3: and the acres to tell him, I think one of
Speaker 3: your children has entered the room. He doesn't even look
Speaker 3: because he knows all hell is gonna break loose. He
Speaker 3: instead stends his hand, puts it on her chest and says,
Speaker 3: not right now, like with his with his energy, and.
Speaker 2: She and then the other one comes in the door
Speaker 2: in the little walker.
Speaker 3: I thought this could be really I look, this has
Speaker 3: to be fake. This has to be fake. So then
Speaker 3: when all of that that that wasn't that us. So
Speaker 3: she tries to like, if you watch carefully, she tries
Speaker 3: to loop her arm around him, like, hey, daddy, I
Speaker 3: find out later that that's the room that he skypes
Speaker 3: his parents. So she's used to Grandma and Grandpa being
Speaker 3: on the screen.
Speaker 2: Oh it's not true, okay.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So she was like, you know, her voice ses
Speaker 3: it was like, oh, Grandma and Grandpa, this is what
Speaker 3: we do. We talked to them. So she comes in
Speaker 3: and tries to loop her hand around his arm, and
Speaker 3: like he pushes her back. Meanwhile doesn't leave. She instead
Speaker 3: leans back on like I guess it's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, bed covered in books that he's carefully adorned to
Speaker 2: make it look like it's part of an office. It's
Speaker 2: so clearly a bedroom.
Speaker 3: So she leaves there like I mean, I'm aa fall back,
Speaker 3: but I ain't going nowhere. Then baby comes into room
Speaker 3: in a walker a one, and Hilarius comes in like
Speaker 3: I heard there's a party. This baby rolled up in
Speaker 3: a room like a g like, hey, it was Larry
Speaker 3: in here.
Speaker 2: She called me. She texted me, said that she comes down.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then just what it could not get any
Speaker 3: more delicious? Uh, frantic another She actually seemed young, younger
Speaker 3: than middle age, but I would say she looked like
Speaker 3: in her thirties. But I'm guessing she's probably similar age
Speaker 3: to her husband. Frantic woman runs in slights Asian woman
Speaker 3: runs in If you look carefully, Mandy, her pants are
Speaker 3: slightly down. Clearly was on the toilet.
Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't analyze it, Okay, I thought I analyzed
Speaker 2: every aspect of that video.
Speaker 3: I know that I know that run because that is
Speaker 3: the I have been when I was a preschool teacher.
Speaker 3: I have been there where I'm like, I just need
Speaker 3: one minute to pete, just one minute, and then you
Speaker 3: hear something crashed. Know there's another teacher in the room
Speaker 3: with the kids. But one teacher cannot possibly watch all
Speaker 3: of them, you know, so you try to stand in
Speaker 3: the middle. You're like, girl, I gotta go pee, Just
Speaker 3: give me a minute. She runs in pants lightly and
Speaker 3: skids into the room and proceeds to drag both baby
Speaker 3: and the walker like the two year old and the walker.
Speaker 3: Baby out big like two year old. Baby is literally
Speaker 3: like under the walker at some point, just being and
Speaker 3: never what does the father turn around.
Speaker 2: Because you know why because he definitely had boxed her
Speaker 2: shorts on and no pants, because he's every person who
Speaker 2: works from home and has an interview and puts on
Speaker 2: a business like to a suit and tie and has
Speaker 2: no pants on, zero pants. That's why he didn't get up.
Speaker 3: He literally skids and then the part that just put
Speaker 3: the chair on top of everything is drags the babies
Speaker 3: out and then she reaches a desperate arm out closes
Speaker 3: the door as if like baby, they didn't see me.
Speaker 3: It was literally everything. It couldn't They could not have
Speaker 3: directed this better. Like I said, is this is this real?
Speaker 3: I thought was a fake video at first.
Speaker 2: But it brought the It brought you know, once in
Speaker 2: a while, videos bring the world together, and this I
Speaker 2: feel like just made us all forget about our troubles
Speaker 2: for like the five minutes that we watched this video
Speaker 2: and oh man, oh if you I've.
Speaker 3: Not seen honestly, you need to just google BBC Kids
Speaker 3: or just it's it's everything, It's everything.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be Mandy if I didn't sprinkle some real
Speaker 2: talk on this though, because there was some you know,
Speaker 2: what's funny is people's reaction to the video. There's been
Speaker 2: there's been some stuff written about this. But I could
Speaker 2: tell it was a problem even before because as soon
Speaker 2: as so this group text I was talking about earlier,
Speaker 2: I shared this is how the whole group texting kicked off.
Speaker 2: Last week. I shared this video and then we couldn't agree.
Speaker 2: Is that the nanny or the mom? I My first
Speaker 2: thought was, mom, Okay, it looked like a mother. They
Speaker 2: looked like the babies or whatever. But then someone's like
Speaker 2: I heard on the news she was the nanny. And
Speaker 2: then when I got when I got to my office,
Speaker 2: I showed it to my two my two bosses, the
Speaker 2: co founders of Magnifi. One of them was like, oh,
Speaker 2: look the Asian nanny or no, they Asian housekeeper. And
Speaker 2: I was like, what, what is this housekeeper thing. So
Speaker 2: apparently I and I don't want to sound stupid, but
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that there's all these stereotypes on Asian women.
Speaker 2: My one of my best friends had to school me
Speaker 2: on it. She's the Vietnamese Chinese, and she was like, listen,
Speaker 2: people always think I'm the help sometimes, like apparently there's
Speaker 2: this there's a stereotype that Asian women are like subservient,
Speaker 2: docile there. You know that for sure.
Speaker 3: I've definitely heard that, but I didn't know that it
Speaker 3: was like that equated to the help.
Speaker 2: So this was like a classic. So this was just
Speaker 2: like a you know, and and if there was a
Speaker 2: test for humanity and whether we've gotten over that stereotype,
Speaker 2: we failed because definitely people were assuming that she was
Speaker 2: the nanny. And I even once I heard someone was like, oh,
Speaker 2: the news said it was the nanny. I was like, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: I guess she was reading it running in kind of
Speaker 2: like her life her job dependent on it. And I
Speaker 2: was like changing my own like instinct based on the news.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I saw her, that was the run. It
Speaker 3: to me, that was a I don't know, like because
Speaker 3: usually like like you know, healthcare professionals would be more
Speaker 3: like professional Basically that was like the running of a
Speaker 3: frantic mom, like, yo, I was just trying to pee
Speaker 3: these daggond kids hair, you know, just because it was like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, I didn't think like I said, oh man,
Speaker 3: I know when he got off. You know, you can't
Speaker 3: see the hilarity in it when it was happening, but
Speaker 3: I know when he got off, it was like, oh
Speaker 3: my god. I just asked, always just peek the kids
Speaker 3: were right.
Speaker 2: He tweeted, like, is this the kind of thing that
Speaker 2: goes viral? Yes? Yes, sir, sweet sir, sweet naives. Sir,
Speaker 2: you have no idea how famous your children will be
Speaker 2: for the rest of them life. Like, I'm jealous because
Speaker 2: they're gonna have this video to watch the rest of
Speaker 2: They're going to play us at their wedding, every graduation, their.
Speaker 3: Funeral, this video, every single one of them. It is
Speaker 3: for life. Like. It was so cute because they interviewed,
Speaker 3: like I said, they interviewed the guy, the BBC guys.
Speaker 2: Mom, but where I need to watch this?
Speaker 3: No, no, I think it was just like was it
Speaker 3: was a written interview. I didn't see the video, but
Speaker 3: they were they were asking her, like, you know, because
Speaker 3: that's how I knew. She said, you know, it's so cute,
Speaker 3: but I'm not surprised that she entered through because that's
Speaker 3: where we skyped because they live in Korea, the the
Speaker 3: gentleman and his wife living and so they're used to skyping.
Speaker 3: So she said she likely heard voices and was like,
Speaker 3: you know, mommy's in the bathroom. I hear voices, and
Speaker 3: you know, then this must be grandma and grandpa because
Speaker 3: this is who this is where we see them.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's funny, man. The media sure will go find
Speaker 2: some parents real quick. Oh you're not going to answer
Speaker 2: my phone call. Well, I'm gonna go find your mother.
Speaker 2: That's what I mean exactly. You're extra Oh man.
Speaker 3: It was a nice, lighthearted way to end the NBA.
Speaker 2: It made us laugh, It made us think critically about
Speaker 2: her own, you know, stereotypes. It was the perfect, the
Speaker 2: perfect viral moment. I hope they get on Llen and
Speaker 2: get their own reality TV show. Sure it will happen
Speaker 2: the president one day.
Speaker 3: Why not. I'm sure they they had been in America,
Speaker 3: they would have been on already. But they're like, we're
Speaker 3: in a career, we're not flying over there for now.
Speaker 2: We never know that was a good way. So it's
Speaker 2: been nice knowing you. I guess, sorry, yeah, so being
Speaker 2: buried in an apvalanche tomorrow. But you know, if you
Speaker 2: don't go to somehow.
Speaker 3: Right just and you happen to make it through, you know.
Speaker 3: I guess we'll talk to you guys next week.
Speaker 2: I mean, we have enough banana muffins, so if you
Speaker 2: guys run out of food, we got banana muffins. We
Speaker 2: have tostitos, all the essentials.
Speaker 3: Ooh over frozen pizza and some pop pies. Oh, I
Speaker 3: got chicken pot pies.
