0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Hey, hey, hey, we're back. We're black, We're brown and

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:21.799
<v Speaker 1>abusion ambition, ambitition, ambition. Hey and Andrew, how are you girls?

0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Hi?

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Gorgeous? Don't you know what your skin is looking? Glowy girl?

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Because the beach said with browner than brown. I used

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>to hate getting dark in the summertime, but now I know.

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was a sad sad uh summertime in Georgia girl.

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.160
<v Speaker 3>Like I I mean, I went to like majority white

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:45.239
<v Speaker 3>schools and I was out there. I did not need

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 3>to be putting oil on myself and tanning spray. You know,

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.279
<v Speaker 3>it was a struggle for me and my gay ex boyfriend,

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 3>myschool boyfriend. We would go tanning together.

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Like was that not a clue?

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 3>There were so many And I always think about my

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:04.759
<v Speaker 3>gay ex boyfriend in summertime. I don't know, just something

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 3>about it. I'm like, oh, man, we had fun, we

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 3>had fun, But how's your summer going? You guys just

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 3>wanted the beachy beach.

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, got a little brown. But truthfully, I was thinking about, like, okay,

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>like travel for a fall winter, because how far an

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:26.399
<v Speaker 1>advance are supposed to buy a ticket? Like when isn't

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:27.759
<v Speaker 1>there like an ideal.

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:32.479
<v Speaker 3>Six weeks domestic, and I think for international, like eight

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 3>to twelve weeks is usually the rule of thumb, okay,

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 3>or you could be like me and buy tickets. I

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 3>just bought. I bought it. I bought flights to La

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 3>because I'm going to that conference that I wasn't sure

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:45.680
<v Speaker 3>I was going to go to. I'm turning it into

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 3>a writer and a writering, a writing and a conference retreat.

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 3>So I got an airbnb, okay, and just for me,

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 3>and it has it's really cute. It's like, you know

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 3>how in La and Cali they have like the little

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 3>guest houses in the back. So I got this lady.

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 3>She has a guest house and it has its own

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 3>little pool, like okay, not a huge pool, but a

0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 3>saltwater pool, and it looks really cute and tranquil with

0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.239
<v Speaker 3>trees and stuff. And so I'm gonna I'm heading there.

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, the flights actually were really affordable, shock to four.

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>So so I.

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 3>Mean I had to book a bunch of one ways

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 3>because I'm dropping the kids off on the way to

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:23.639
<v Speaker 3>calib Okay.

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So you not you using the trade like the plane

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>like a bus.

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.119
<v Speaker 3>No, but for real, like we're commuting. So I'm doing

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 3>a stopover in Saint Louis. The kids are getting dropped

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 3>off with my mom. I'm going to stay at the

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 3>airport catch my flight to LA from there. I want

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 3>to say it was less than three hundred dollars one

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 3>way ticket, so okay, and one way tickets are usually

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 3>more expensive. They don't like selling one way, yes, and

0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 3>why did I do that because the lady at Southwest

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 3>told me to for some technical reasons because I'm dropping

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 3>with babies, so if she wanted them they have I

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 3>couldn't like make their separate reservation. This does not matter

0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 3>to the listener. The point is I was surprise to

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.040
<v Speaker 3>get like a decent priced flight to LA. Okay, yeah,

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm excited. So, like you said, fall in winter travel,

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 3>I can't even think beyond like September first right now.

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm just hanging on for dear life at this point

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 3>is how I feel? Are you actually planning?

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I want still one for sure? Like so still my

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 1>best t get Bro is turning the big five zero.

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Five, I know, fifty, I know wow, Okay.

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Black, don't crack unless you do it, I'm saying no.

0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>So he he's turning fifty and we're trying to He's

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out what he wanted to do. We're

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>both Libra's, so his birthdays in October. So he decided

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 1>on Bager's baby. Oh okay, and I said, okay, so

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>a group of us are gonna go, and so that's

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>like in October. But I am trying to plan to

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>start to create like a new because every Christmas I

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>get really sad, obviously because you're not here. And so

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>doctor Green, my therapist, suggested I create a new tradition.

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>And I said, you know, I'm never away for Christmas.

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm always like, no, I have to be here my

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.200
<v Speaker 1>family and my family. Meanwhile, last year my mom wasn't here,

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and neither was my sister Lisa. And yet before that,

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>my sister Tracy wasn't here. Year before that, my sister care.

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>So I'm like Tiffany, you know, like it's okay if

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>you're not here, like sometimes you know, those who are

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>here get together and I'm thanksgiving it something we always

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 1>do together. So you know, I haven't decided, and I'm

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>almost positive. Alyssa said that she and her mom are

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>going to go someplace for Christmas. So I said, okay,

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know where I'm going to go for Christmas,

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like I'm feeling something warmish. I don't know,

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.479
<v Speaker 1>I will see who's a belle because Cabral's already like,

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm down to go. Where do you want to go?

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.919
<v Speaker 3>You want a couple kids and me and my husband, So.

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to figure out I'm going to do. I'm

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>feeling something more warmish, you know.

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I don't.

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Know if it's'll be international maybe, so I'm kind of like,

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, the for the listener, like, where's a great

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 1>place to go that's not going to be a freaking

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>arm and a lag, which I'm sure it's going to

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 1>be an armored like just because you know.

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 3>How well I have I have had these like moments

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.600
<v Speaker 3>where I at this time of year, probably pre kids,

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 3>I tried to play in a Christmas trip, but I

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.479
<v Speaker 3>usually get guilt tripped out of it by my own mother.

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:18.600
<v Speaker 3>So put a pin in that, because I think what

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 3>you're doing is amazing and I think it is like

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 3>such a level that I want to get to where

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 3>we can just like start our own traditions. But while

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.039
<v Speaker 3>these kids are small, they're like in demand there.

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they have to do.

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Yes, it's really what I'm on. I'm on a child.

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Tour of the I love that in demand.

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but I did make a shift this past year

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 3>to say, well, one I didn't couldn't really couldn't really

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:45.720
<v Speaker 3>didn't really have a choice. I had so many, like

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, family emergencies. We were always traveling with the kids,

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 3>but trying to make more visits throughout the year, so

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.280
<v Speaker 3>there's not so much pressure on like these specific two

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.479
<v Speaker 3>days Thanksgiving and Christmas, and you know, it's just so stressful.

0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 3>No one's ever satisfied. Someone always gets the feeling hurt,

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 3>we're not there long enough. But yeah, I love that idea.

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 3>And I just wanted to say, in the past, when

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 3>I have looked at there are some epic places, like

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 3>vacationing on the holidays is for a lot of people normal.

0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.480
<v Speaker 3>There are some really epic places that you can go

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.919
<v Speaker 3>in the holidays. But because it's not uncommon for like

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 3>holiday travel, you know abroad, especially in like warm beachy places,

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 3>they book up kind of quickly. Okay, yeah, go ahead

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 3>and start you know looking at way you won't.

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm trying to think, I'm like, I've never do

0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you know I've never done a cruise never ever, ever

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>ever ever never have I ever, so I would like

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>to do at least one cruise. I mean, I don't

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying for Christmas, but these are some kind

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>of like upcoming things, even if it's just for a

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 1>few days, just because what if I hate it? But yeah,

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I think you.

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Want to look really carefully at the reviews, you know,

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.359
<v Speaker 3>make sure it's like a there's probably like adults only ones.

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 3>Not that kids are the worst, but you don't want

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.000
<v Speaker 3>to go to one of the ones where it's basically

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 3>an outdoor indoor water park for children and not relaxing.

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:07.919
<v Speaker 1>Yes, one of my friends said, my very wealthy, wealthy,

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>wealthy friend he had went on the rich Carlton has

0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>like this new fancy Smancy Smancy Smancy cruise and he

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>guess how much. I can't remember if it's a week

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>or two weeks whever, guess how much it costs rich

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Carlton cruise. Let's just say it's two weeks. I don't

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>know how long it is. You will not you will not.

0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 3>Believe figure girl. I yeah, okay, lay it on me.

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Two hundred and I think forty five thousand dollars. Yes,

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and he told me, babee, buy yourself a boat, I mean,

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.840
<v Speaker 1>by yourself a house. Well he has a house, but

0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>still I think the part that bothered me a little

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 1>bit hopefully he's not listening to this.

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:51.119
<v Speaker 3>Well he don't be listening, but he was still listening.

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 3>He's like, I got it.

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, the part that kind of black was like wait what?

0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 1>He was like, yeah, you know, you know I treated

0:07:57.440 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>myself whatever. I said, Well, that was a big treat.

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>And he was like, yeah, I heard about it from

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>my pastor and his wife because they went on I'm like, wait,

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>what as.

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 3>People got rich pastors?

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I say, Megachurch, is your pastor from Atlanta?

0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Good guess how do you.

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Feel about that? When the pastor is we live in that.

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 1>There's a funny in me Instagram channel where it says

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 1>my pastor's watches and then there's like a pastor my

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 1>pastor sneakers, And they will show up one of these

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 1>famous pastors and then they'll say he's wearing a whatever

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>watch and that watches one hundred thousand dollars and he's

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>wearing such a such sneakers for fifteen hundred. How do

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>you feel about that. I was like, wait, your pastor

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.440
<v Speaker 1>told you about a two hundred and fifty feels in

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that La cruise.

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 3>I think that there is no that we all deserve

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 3>love from our heavenly Father and whoever you believe in

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 3>heavenly Mother. Yeah. I guess the way I feel about

0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:55.440
<v Speaker 3>it is like actions, and I have a lot of

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 3>conflict because I have been to those megachurches in Georgia,

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 3>but also I have been to like the down home

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 3>like southern Baptist churches like where my aunt and my

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 3>great uncle they're both pastors, and I think being humble

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 3>and humility is really important. I think it's sad that

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.319
<v Speaker 3>those megachurches like they like I remember going to one

0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.079
<v Speaker 3>and they had like a special parking lot just for

0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:22.440
<v Speaker 3>the Falcons players because it was close to their training camp.

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:23.640
<v Speaker 3>Kind of very best.

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Parking lot because Yad said, there's v IP heaven't baby.

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 3>No but for real, no, but for real And yeah,

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.840
<v Speaker 3>I just found it really like icky and it just Yeah,

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 3>the way I feel about it is like, you.

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Know, I just I remember I was watching on Rich

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Pastors and one of them said, let me tell you something, baby,

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>If Jesus was was around during these times. I promise

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:51.160
<v Speaker 1>you he wouldn't be riding a donkey. I'm like, Sir,

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I Jesus is like, how I get in it?

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:56.840
<v Speaker 3>Would he be in a bugatti?

0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean because that that this I was watching this

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:03.319
<v Speaker 1>documentary and that pastor had like three three private jets

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>one two three. I said, sir, I know there are

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:09.679
<v Speaker 1>people in the congregation now who are hungry, who might

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.160
<v Speaker 1>even be un housed. It's just like that's just the

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 1>makeup of you know. And I just don't understand how

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>you need unodos trace private antal planes and you know,

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and then two hundred and fifty. So that's for one

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>person two fifty and maybe I don't know, let's just

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>pretend that for two people, maybe it's three fifty. I

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know. But that you could literally buy a congregation

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>member home and transform their whole life. I just I'm

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.880
<v Speaker 1>not here to judge, but I'm judging, you know.

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 3>On the one hand, I want to be like we

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.320
<v Speaker 3>all are individuals. Do what you want. But I think

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 3>the position of being like a church leader, Yeah, you

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 3>put yourself on this pedestal, and it's like you do,

0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 3>I think you get held to a much higher standard

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.199
<v Speaker 3>I feel like we hold celebrities to a higher standard

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 3>than like our religious leaders sometimes in terms of like, oh,

0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.040
<v Speaker 3>you know that person who tracks Taylor's fwat's private jet

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.079
<v Speaker 3>and how much jet fool she feels she's using. And

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, but three for a pastor, like I do

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.559
<v Speaker 3>think if I don't know, I wonder what his congregants think,

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 3>because I wouldn't feel comfortable.

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, some people like a fancy like you know, pastor

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 1>in church. But I just I just brought that up

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>because as we're talking about travel and things like that,

0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and you think to yourself, like, I don't know, chall

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>this is why, you know, I just believed that, you know,

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I go to God for myself, you know, because it's

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>just at the end of the day, that's just a man.

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh man? Or were they then? And so they are

0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:35.959
<v Speaker 1>imperfect infallible, so therefore Yeah. But when he told me that,

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>because one, I was already like three fifty, I mean

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.680
<v Speaker 1>two fifty Wow, how much what do you make of

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 1>last year? And he was like, yeah, my Fastor told

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 1>me about it. I said, like, because they had heard

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.199
<v Speaker 1>through the grapevine. He's like, no, no, no, because him and

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:48.439
<v Speaker 1>his wife they had done it and they're going to

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 1>do it again. I'm like, hey, that's a nice erna me.

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 1>You just have to do this now because you're like, wow, hey,

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 1>so I just I'd be really curious on that kind

0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>of crew. Who what did it ever? I do for

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.640
<v Speaker 1>a living, and I, on my Bengo card wouldn't have

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.680
<v Speaker 1>been a pastor. You know.

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 3>State farm agents are small business owners too, so they

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 3>know how to help you choose personalized policies that fit

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 3>your needs, like a good neighbor state farm is there?

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Talk to your local agent today. I mean, I just

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.680
<v Speaker 3>think it depends on what kind of vacation you want,

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 3>because a cruise, a solo cruise, it's almost like you

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.720
<v Speaker 3>expect to talk to other people and like meet other

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.000
<v Speaker 3>people in chat chat and like is that the vibe

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 3>you want or do you want something more tranquil? And

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:37.599
<v Speaker 3>I think, like, yeah, some visualization, like where do you

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.199
<v Speaker 3>see yourself? Do you want to be alone? Do you

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 3>want to be with people? But I love that idea.

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 3>I aspire to get there. I don't think this year

0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.680
<v Speaker 3>is going to be the year, but I would love

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 3>to not have so much pressure around the holidays. Last year,

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 3>the holidays nearly broke me, and in fact, they really

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.480
<v Speaker 3>did break me. I just didn't realize it until five

0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.839
<v Speaker 3>months later. Okay, yeah, just the Yeah, it's a lot

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 3>of pressure. But it's smart to think about it in advance,

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 3>I would say, and not to be like. If you

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.439
<v Speaker 3>have a mom like mine, she's really trying to get

0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 3>you to commit to some dates by about September. It's

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:15.839
<v Speaker 3>like when the when the pumpkinspice latte comes out, which

0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 3>is coming in like the next week or two, because

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 3>every year it gets earlier and earlier. Yeah, my mom

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 3>is like so and no pressure, but also lots of pressure.

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 3>I just wanted to get some planning done. Yeah, we'll see, we'll.

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.719
<v Speaker 1>See sidebar speaking about getting ready for like you know,

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 1>like the New Year. There's this girl on Instagram who

0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>I was following, and I started following her because she

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>had this really, like really great breakdown about like the

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>pros and cons of veneers, right, I know, just so

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Tracy's like Tracy's yes, She's like, you have such veried

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 1>random interests. I'm like, I know, I'll just get like, huh,

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to get veneers. But it was so

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 1>interesting when she was talking about veneer's and so I

0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>guess when average veneers are like a thousand dollars plus

0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 1>per tooth. Yeah, it's a lot.

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.560
<v Speaker 3>If you go to Turkey. Don't people go to Turkey?

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I know. But then the problem is is that you know,

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 1>if something goes wrong, then you know, I don't know

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.560
<v Speaker 1>because your teeth are like you know, really teeth health

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 1>and gum health is so critical because it can it

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 1>can affect you neurologically in every area.

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 3>I went to Mexico, he went o, he went to Cancun.

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 1>His teeth, So it just makes me nervous, Like teeth,

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>that's just makes me nervous. I'm just like, child, let

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:28.600

0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 1>cost of like you know, like you're kind of like

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>feminine maintenance or whatever, or just even just maintenance in general,

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:47.239
<v Speaker 1>like an ecstatic maintenance. And this girl, the vineer girl,

0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 1>was like she spent over two thousand dollars a month

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:55.960
<v Speaker 1>on me. I mean from botox to filler, to micro

0:15:56.040 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>demobilasi demobration to some like body sculpting to like her

0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.040
<v Speaker 1>she had a weave to I couldn't. It was like

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe twenty two hundred twenty three hundred, and she she's

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 1>a professional I guess content creator aka influencer. But I thought, like,

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 1>so it was about twenty five thousand dollars a year,

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>and I thought to myself, what, it's.

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 3>Just so wonderful.

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean she's beautiful. Obviously you had to

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 1>be beautiful girl, damn, but like she's beautiful.

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Listen, if you got the free time, that's you know,

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 3>like it takes a lot of time, and like not

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 3>just the money for that kind of stuff, Like I

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 3>really have not had and I'm okay with this. I

0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.200
<v Speaker 3>have only had one manicure in the last year, and

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 3>I only got my nails done because I was going

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 3>on a morning show and I was like, I got

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:42.880
<v Speaker 3>to get my nails and my feet done. And I

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.040
<v Speaker 3>just like I used to and I used to go

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.240
<v Speaker 3>a lot before I had the baby. And now I'm like,

0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:50.400
<v Speaker 3>it's not that I don't value that kind of self

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 3>care time, but I just found out that like I

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 3>was only doing it for the look, and I really

0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 3>hated the process, like I didn't like sitting. The only

0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 3>kind of self care that I enjoyed going and spending

0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.200
<v Speaker 3>the time, and I feel better having done it. It's

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 3>like when I get a massage or a facial because

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 3>it is time, you know. But I did think about

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.439
<v Speaker 3>the access to those types of like treatments is so

0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 3>much more available now. It's not as pie in the sky.

0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 3>Plus groupon I think the groupons are only around now

0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:21.240
<v Speaker 3>to give you discounts and that kind of stuff. Yes,

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.200
<v Speaker 3>like you shout out to laser hair removal, thank you.

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Does laser hair removal. That's what I do. And I

0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:31.600
<v Speaker 1>just was like, to your right, to your point, it's

0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 1>not just money, it's also time, you know. And I

0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:37.159
<v Speaker 1>guess depending on what you do for a living, you know,

0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:39.080
<v Speaker 1>because I have friends who are like in the entertainment

0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:42.240
<v Speaker 1>industry and they are, you know, constantly making sure that

0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.440
<v Speaker 1>they have to look a certain way in order to

0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:47.280
<v Speaker 1>be able to work. But I just was just thinking

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 1>like wow, because like when does it And this young

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:55.399
<v Speaker 1>woman was very young, like only in her twenties, and

0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.639
<v Speaker 1>I just I guess I keep thinking to myself like

0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 1>what does the opportunity cost versus I mean to be

0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.040
<v Speaker 1>fair to her, you know her looks for how she

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 1>makes her money. But I thought to myself, what does

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.600
<v Speaker 1>she invest in that? What would that look like? You

0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 1>know in ten twenty thirty years, twenty five to thirty

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:15.440
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars a year on like you know her looks, which,

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 1>like I said, to be fair, she uses her looks

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:18.159
<v Speaker 1>to make money.

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.880
<v Speaker 3>That's a slippery slope. The slippery slope because I think

0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 3>you could point the same finger. I mean, be like,

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.920
<v Speaker 3>what how where would my investments be if I spent

0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.240
<v Speaker 3>three thousand or four thousand dollars and put that in

0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 3>an index fun every month instead of sending my children

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:40.159
<v Speaker 3>to a bare minimum daycare that cost And there's a

0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 3>really good I don't know if I know you don't

0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:44.040
<v Speaker 3>want you don't want tons of TV, although I would

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 3>feel like social media accounts, you get your you cat,

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.320
<v Speaker 3>I do get your scrolling, it get I get my

0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:48.920
<v Speaker 3>screen time.

0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:49.679
<v Speaker 1>It just different.

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.040
<v Speaker 3>I know, what's your average screen time on your phone?

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.359
<v Speaker 3>No, but there's a show on to Be to Be,

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 3>which is northas like free streaming apps. Anyway, I only

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.200
<v Speaker 3>downloaded it because my favorite actress is in the show

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Nicola Coughlan from Bridgerton. It's called Big Mood and one

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 3>of the characters is like two girls in their early

0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 3>thirties figuring shit out in London, and one of them

0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:16.199
<v Speaker 3>says like, some people choose to have a husband and

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.760
<v Speaker 3>a wife and in their thirties, and some people choose

0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:21.240
<v Speaker 3>to get high on ketamine, you know, on the weekends.

0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 3>Both choices are valid. And that's what I just want

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 3>to say, because I think everyone we have all this options, yes,

0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:30.880
<v Speaker 3>and I look at the girlies who have the disposable

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 3>income that I have to dispose of with my kids,

0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.040
<v Speaker 3>and I'm just like, that's a choice that they made,

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:38.920
<v Speaker 3>good form, you know, and it just makes me feel

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.679
<v Speaker 3>like there is so much I could do with that

0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:46.360
<v Speaker 3>money if I do have to, you know, pay.

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.800
<v Speaker 1>For Lego's not for a place to judgment, because Lorden knows,

0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 1>like you know, I get my nails done now, I

0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 1>get my feet done, and brows. I've always got my

0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 1>brows done. And I don't do anything to my skin

0:19:55.560 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 1>as of yet because it's African. Is still African, little skin,

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 1>little little you know, basic maintenance at home. But I

0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:06.680
<v Speaker 1>just think about you know, as we're making our choices

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:10.880
<v Speaker 1>about where to put because to her, she probably would say,

0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.040
<v Speaker 1>this is an investment, and I can't argue with that

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 1>because like I'm a content creator. I show up physically

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>like this, this is an investment so I can continue

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:21.240
<v Speaker 1>to make money. And so it's just like where do

0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.520
<v Speaker 1>you place the investment and what return are you looking for?

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 1>And so to me, I think the only wrong way

0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.800
<v Speaker 1>to do it is not to consciously make the decision

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:33.119
<v Speaker 1>about the desired outcome, just to kind of be just

0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:34.919
<v Speaker 1>doing it. It's like, no, no, no, no, I'm putting this

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty five thousand dollars a year in because it generates

0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:39.920
<v Speaker 1>me three four hundred thousand dollars a year. I'm just

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 1>making it that I don't know how much she makes

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.720
<v Speaker 1>versus like I'm just kind of doing the thing because

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing the thing, you know. Yeah, So no, I

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:50.360
<v Speaker 1>wasn't an adjudstment. I follow her and I love how

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 1>open she is because she's a black girl, and she

0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:56.439
<v Speaker 1>said not enough women and women of color kind of

0:20:56.560 --> 0:21:00.280
<v Speaker 1>share the ends out, the costs, the pros and the

0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 1>cons of kind of like this up like this next

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:05.959
<v Speaker 1>level of beauty maintenance she said, because this hasn't been

0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:09.040
<v Speaker 1>done just secretly. So so some of your faiths are

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:12.080
<v Speaker 1>doing this. They're like girls, she's lying, she's anybody working

0:21:12.119 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 1>out no more. This is what they're doing. And so

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I follow her because I love that she breaks down

0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the financial aspect of beauty, you know, and so it's

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 1>really interesting, Like, Okay, I didn't know veniers were like

0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 1>like a thousand to more plus a tooth. So you

0:21:28.680 --> 0:21:31.119
<v Speaker 1>know you get ten veneers, that's over ten thousand dollars.

0:21:31.119 --> 0:21:34.240
<v Speaker 1>You're like, okay, you know, I didn't know.

0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:35.840
<v Speaker 3>That's so big all the time, just making them a

0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 3>little bit smaller.

0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Do you know my mom always for my wedding and

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.600
<v Speaker 3>she modeled her teeth after mine, He said, who did

0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:44.440
<v Speaker 3>my mom?

0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:45.640
<v Speaker 1>She got vaniers?

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, before my wedding she did. Ok they look so natural.

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.040
<v Speaker 3>And she didn't go in there saying I want like

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 3>the big Taylor Swift teeth, no offense. She's the only

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 3>one whose teethchaking. They're just so in your face. But

0:21:57.359 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 3>my mom she was like, she gave them a picture

0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 3>of my teeth.

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I love that you have great teeth. I love it.

0:22:03.480 --> 0:22:05.520
<v Speaker 3>See, I love that I have little bunny teeth and

0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.000
<v Speaker 3>they're her teeth, but you know, they weren't looking like

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:08.600
<v Speaker 3>that anymore.

0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.159
<v Speaker 1>So oh no, see, and that's what I mean, like,

0:22:11.240 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah, the only thing, like I didn't know

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:15.199
<v Speaker 1>for example, that I guess she's supposed to replace your

0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:17.720
<v Speaker 1>veneers every ten to fifteen years or something like that.

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh shoot, I did not know that either.

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Well I don't know for sure, but I just remember

0:22:22.840 --> 0:22:24.080
<v Speaker 1>that was one of the girls that she was just

0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 1>like being mindful that veneer's. I guess the same thing

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:29.159
<v Speaker 1>for like a crown, Like I've got a crown. It

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 1>doesn't last forever and never never, I'm assuming you're supposed to,

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:33.560
<v Speaker 1>like you know, there's always maintenance.

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 3>And so as I get older, you realize ten years

0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:38.880
<v Speaker 3>seems like a million years, you know what I mean,

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Like when you're younger, and then ten years rolls around

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:43.119
<v Speaker 3>and you're like, wait, it was ten years since that

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.159
<v Speaker 3>damn Like our fridge is starting to be funky and

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 3>my husband's like, well, what husband? Eight years? I'm like

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 3>since when we just got here, I know, And.

0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 1>You know that crazy because like I think she's the last,

0:22:56.080 --> 0:23:00.280
<v Speaker 1>like your great grandmother's fridge is still running someplace like

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:02.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, but obviously they make it not less on purpose,

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 1>so you can continue to buy. But there's another random

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Instagram account that I followed that talks about old fridges.

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 1>They show fridges from like the twenties and thirties and

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:12.640
<v Speaker 1>forties and fifty and they show you how they still

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:14.720
<v Speaker 1>work in all the cool gadgets they used to have

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:19.120
<v Speaker 1>that we don't have. And I'm like, we are developing backwards.

0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:23.960
<v Speaker 3>It's almost like corporate greed is running our lives. No,

0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 3>you heard your first BA faan survive with us survive.

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Well, we'd love to know, Like what are your travel plans?

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.679
<v Speaker 1>What's your most expensive beauty expense? How much does it

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:39.080
<v Speaker 1>costing you? Is it worth it?

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Where do you think Tiffany should go? Yes, holidays to

0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 3>change her scenery, make a new tradition. Yes, maybe there's

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 3>some good ideas. I bet some BA listeners travel and I.

0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Would love that, Like, yeah, how it is? It's like

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:54.480
<v Speaker 1>or don't go here, girl is so crazy. I don't

0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:56.199
<v Speaker 1>want to go anywhere. I want someplace where it's going

0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:58.679
<v Speaker 1>to be peaceful and serene and beautiful. Those are my rules.

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:02.119
<v Speaker 1>And not too cold, peaceful, serene, beautiful, not too cold.

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind traveling internationally. I don't mind staying domestically. Yeah,

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:12.520
<v Speaker 1>just peaceful, serene, beautiful, like naturally beautiful and yeah and

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 1>not too cold. Yeah. So if we should take a

0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 1>break and come back with some brown girl lookt me aoray.

0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:27.440

<v Speaker 2>Were back, We back, and now it's time to boost up.

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Break up, boost up, break up, boost up? Break Are

0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:48.879
<v Speaker 2>you gonna boost? Is you gonna break?

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:55.200
<v Speaker 1>What you're gonna do, what you're gonna take? You want

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:56.399
<v Speaker 1>to go first? You want to go second? When do

0:24:56.440 --> 0:24:56.879
<v Speaker 1>you want to go?

0:24:57.520 --> 0:25:00.679
<v Speaker 3>I will go first? Because this how happens to be

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 3>if the show is airing, when I think it's airing.

0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:08.639
<v Speaker 3>This happens to be Black Breastfeeding Awareness Month, which sounds

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:12.480
<v Speaker 3>so specific because it is. It's actually really important because

0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:16.040
<v Speaker 3>it's not just that in hospitals that a lot of

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:18.239
<v Speaker 3>new moms. I think now we're finally getting educational on

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 3>how to like breastfeed, but especially among black women who

0:25:21.560 --> 0:25:23.439
<v Speaker 3>tend to not have the care and love that we

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 3>need in a hospital setting. I think it's really important

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 3>to have months like these, and I thought I would

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:32.760
<v Speaker 3>use it to spotlight Elaine Welterrot's new nonprofit called Birth Fund,

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:35.040
<v Speaker 3>which I think we talked about a little bit before

0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 3>when it first came out. But birth Fund is basically

0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 3>like an answer to the fact that the healthcare system

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:45.680
<v Speaker 3>is failing black women, especially black mothers. I don't think

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 3>that these numbers have truly sunk in yet, but I

0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:51.440
<v Speaker 3>just wanted to read some of them. But the US

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:57.119
<v Speaker 3>maternal mortality rate is ten times higher, not just in

0:25:57.200 --> 0:26:03.359
<v Speaker 3>other countries, other high income countries, our comparable economies. You

0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 3>were ten times more likely to die as a mom

0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 3>in the United States. That is embarrassing, embarrassing and crazy.

0:26:11.440 --> 0:26:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Black women, however, are dying at three to four times

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 3>the rate of white women during and after childbirth. That

0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 3>is insane. That is I don't know why. That's not

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:28.399
<v Speaker 3>like a presidential platform we should be running on, like

0:26:28.520 --> 0:26:30.720
<v Speaker 3>we have to save the mothers. So I just wanted

0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:33.399
<v Speaker 3>to shout out birth Fund. It's founded by one of

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:37.520
<v Speaker 3>my idols, Elaine welter Roth, who is just this phenomenal

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:41.479
<v Speaker 3>former journalist and now everything is so if you want

0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:44.840
<v Speaker 3>to check it out, go to thebirthfund dot Com where

0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:47.960
<v Speaker 3>you can invest, you can join the community, because it's

0:26:47.960 --> 0:26:54.960
<v Speaker 3>really about matching black women, black mothers to doulas and

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:59.800
<v Speaker 3>what's the other thing besides adula midwives who can help

0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:03.160
<v Speaker 3>like get you through that process with less trauma. I'm

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:07.280
<v Speaker 3>very lucky because I had a really great like experience

0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:09.520
<v Speaker 3>at the hospital that I go to, uh, that I

0:27:09.560 --> 0:27:12.200
<v Speaker 3>went to for my two births. But clearly the majority

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 3>of or like a lot of women of color who

0:27:15.320 --> 0:27:17.480
<v Speaker 3>were giving birth are not having the same experience, and

0:27:17.480 --> 0:27:21.400
<v Speaker 3>in fact, it's like threatening our lives. So the birth

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 3>fund dot Com. Check it out, and happy National Black

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:30.879
<v Speaker 3>Breastfeeding Month. Shout out to your nipple Creams and uh,

0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:33.639
<v Speaker 3>I salute to you. I was so happy to pack up

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 3>my pump for maybe the last time.

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, I'm going to take just a little lighthearted break,

0:27:40.600 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 1>brown break because you know, y'all know I've recently moved

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 1>and so when Jrell was here, we had brought like

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 1>a sleep number bed for a bajillion dollars. I want

0:27:49.520 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 1>to say, we've probably spent around seven thousand dollars. They're

0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:52.840
<v Speaker 1>so freaking expensive.

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Damn, that's we got to be like, well, you're going

0:27:54.840 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 3>to sleep on it for one hundred thousand million days,

0:27:57.119 --> 0:27:58.680
<v Speaker 3>so it's only eight cents a day.

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 1>And so yeah, and I asked a friend of mine, Leela,

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:05.520
<v Speaker 1>who does my makeup, you know when I do TV?

0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:07.240
<v Speaker 1>And so I said, Leila, is it worth it? She's like,

0:28:07.440 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 1>is I? And that's exactly how I feel? So I

0:28:10.840 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 1>have to disconnect it. There's so many pieces to disconnect

0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:16.240
<v Speaker 1>when you move a sleep number bed, because there's like

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a sleep What makes us sleep number bed quote unquote

0:28:19.280 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 1>so special is that like it's like a you can

0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:25.240
<v Speaker 1>make it as firm or as dense as you want.

0:28:25.280 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 1>And so there's like a pump and an air filtration,

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:30.920
<v Speaker 1>which sounds all good until it's time to move. Also, too,

0:28:30.960 --> 0:28:33.119
<v Speaker 1>there's like a magnetic system that you're almost going to

0:28:33.160 --> 0:28:37.240
<v Speaker 1>lose your life in order to like disconnect. And then

0:28:37.320 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I had a footwarmer, and so there's like that. It was,

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I felt like an engineer. I said, I

0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 1>have graduated in NASA. I can now fly to the moon.

0:28:45.760 --> 0:28:47.960
<v Speaker 1>And so because I was nervous, I mean I was

0:28:48.000 --> 0:28:50.400
<v Speaker 1>nervous for the clean for the moving guys to do it,

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:53.600
<v Speaker 1>because I watched the video online. I was like, oh no, no, no,

0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't want anyone to come in here without the care,

0:28:56.720 --> 0:28:59.640
<v Speaker 1>not as seven thousand dollars, honey, you know. And so

0:28:59.840 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I disassembled. I didn't have to move the mattress or anything,

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>but just like unplugging child, only for me to lay

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:08.760
<v Speaker 1>in the bed like a regular mattress. Ask me if

0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I use after the last time I lifted my head

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 1>up on my feet or I mean.

0:29:15.680 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 3>You're like, you know what also works is the pillows, girls,

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:19.200
<v Speaker 3>behind your head.

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:22.800
<v Speaker 1>That's literally what I use when I tell you I

0:29:22.840 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 1>am a pillow under my arm between my legs. Girl,

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't actually like a high head because

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:29.200
<v Speaker 1>at this age my neck is like, don't do that.

0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:31.760
<v Speaker 1>And who sleeps with their feet up unless you have

0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:34.560
<v Speaker 1>some sort of like foot injury, and like, I mean

0:29:34.840 --> 0:29:37.400
<v Speaker 1>my firmness of mattress, I don't switch it from night

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to night. So I could just buy it at this

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:40.760
<v Speaker 1>it was a lot of.

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:46.080
<v Speaker 3>I bet you Superman was he the advocate for that day?

0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:49.240
<v Speaker 3>Of course he was, because men loved their goddamn badgets

0:29:49.280 --> 0:29:53.320
<v Speaker 3>and gives me just settings. I mean, I just my

0:29:53.400 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 3>husband was actually jealous of the baby. Remy took the

0:29:56.520 --> 0:29:58.920
<v Speaker 3>remote control and found some kind of setting by just

0:29:58.960 --> 0:30:03.040
<v Speaker 3>pressing buttons twenty minutes. And my husband was like, he's like, god,

0:30:03.080 --> 0:30:05.360
<v Speaker 3>how did remy find that saying? And it was like

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 3>something I was like, just just yes, tinkering.

0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:12.440
<v Speaker 1>So so if you were sorry to sleep number and

0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 1>not that you were gonna, like, you know, advertise here anyway,

0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:17.760
<v Speaker 1>if you're thinking about one of them fancy spancy s,

0:30:17.800 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 1>fancy beds, unless you have some sort of medical condition

0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 1>where it's like, oh I have to sleep my head

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:25.800
<v Speaker 1>up or my feet up or whatever, is it worth it.

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:27.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a nice bed to have, so I'm not like, oh,

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:31.280
<v Speaker 1>to some bad bed, is it worth a seven eight five? Now,

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:34.240
<v Speaker 1>get you a regular mattress at the firmace that you're liking,

0:30:34.560 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 1>and put some extra pills behind your head. It'll be

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 1>much easier to move as well, Like where this leap

0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>where this sleeping number bed is going to stay put

0:30:42.120 --> 0:30:44.000
<v Speaker 1>if I move, is going to the next people who

0:30:44.080 --> 0:30:46.680
<v Speaker 1>have my place you get to keep is yours? Congratulations.

0:30:47.720 --> 0:30:50.480
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's just that is my brown break that

0:30:50.720 --> 0:30:52.960
<v Speaker 1>like it is not to me. The juice is not

0:30:53.000 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 1>worth the squeeze, Although in general it's a nice bed

0:30:56.280 --> 0:30:58.160
<v Speaker 1>it's just not worth the cost that you have to

0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you know that you have to buy it for. So

0:31:01.040 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 1>that was it because I was just thinking about that

0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:03.840
<v Speaker 1>as I was moving, Like you know, some things you

0:31:03.880 --> 0:31:06.000
<v Speaker 1>move you're like, oh easy, busy, and some things you're like,

0:31:06.080 --> 0:31:09.360
<v Speaker 1>oh should this just stay with the house child, you know,

0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:12.920
<v Speaker 1>because it's too much. But you know, I mean I'm settling.

0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Is it going to rich John Tyland or is it?

0:31:14.640 --> 0:31:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? It has to girl for seven thousand.

0:31:16.800 --> 0:31:19.640
