Speaker 3: when I tell you my bras, I do not know
Speaker 3: where they even are in my closet because I have
Speaker 3: not worn them in so long. I am so I
Speaker 3: don't want to wear a bra so badly that I
Speaker 3: bought those like little like chicken cutlet pasties. I just
Speaker 3: cover the so when I go to daycare pickup, but
Speaker 3: it's not scandal kids they cut into my sides like
Speaker 3: I even.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie like I'm a sports marau girl
Speaker 1: these days, just because like at the house, because it's
Speaker 1: just so uncomfortable to your point, but I'm like oh,
Speaker 1: let me not look crazy on this line.
Speaker 2: Let me just w it at Sports broad at least
Speaker 2: there's some cushion.
Speaker 3: But the other day is I have braw let like
Speaker 3: three times bigger than what I need, so that I
Speaker 3: don't even feel it, Like it's just catching.
Speaker 1: I know the men's they don't understand they I was
Speaker 1: watching this, this is just random. I was watching this
Speaker 1: documentary and just had me thinking, like, remember last week
Speaker 1: we talked about how you know, like so many of
Speaker 1: like the gruruls, meaning like you know, the people who
Speaker 1: are doing well in business but are having a hard
Speaker 1: time behind the scenes. So I was watching this documentary
Speaker 1: of I think it was Insider of the guys who
Speaker 1: robbed the Kim Kardashian in Paris. Remember that time she
Speaker 1: was in Paris and they ran up in her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so they called them like I forget what they
Speaker 1: called them, but basically these guys ranged in age from
Speaker 1: six seventy two.
Speaker 2: They were like old g h rob wait basically.
Speaker 1: Got it, Okay, it's literally like so it's been like
Speaker 1: they caught them though they caught Yeah, they caught them
Speaker 1: because one of them left his DNA behind and so
Speaker 1: they spent like twenty two months in jail or something,
Speaker 1: and so they basically asked him and they so, you
Speaker 1: know it was Vice. Well Vice did a documentary about
Speaker 1: it too, like a mini documentary. But they asked them,
Speaker 1: you know, why did you rob Kim Kardashian. Did you
Speaker 1: feel bad? He was like, well, He's like, honestly, I'm
Speaker 1: not really on social media, but like, my granddaughter basically
Speaker 1: was showing me here's this rich person and she was talking,
Speaker 1: you know, she was flashing.
Speaker 2: Her ring about her money yes, and he said, oh,
Speaker 2: she don't really want that thing.
Speaker 1: So he was like old school, you know, back in
Speaker 1: the day, Robert him and his you know, he literally
Speaker 1: it's like a movie. He got the old crew together.
Speaker 1: It was like, let's go get that money. And he said,
Speaker 1: literally he was able to track every moment of her
Speaker 1: day because she posted everything real time on social media
Speaker 1: and you should have seen me in So they did
Speaker 1: like a broader They didn't just do the the Kim
Speaker 1: Kardashian guy. They also like interviewed other people who were
Speaker 1: robbing folks, and they were basically like, yo, social media
Speaker 1: has been He said, back in the day, you used
Speaker 1: to have to stalk outside someone's house and watch.
Speaker 2: He said, I don't have to do that anymore.
Speaker 1: He said, One, I can know exactly where you are,
Speaker 1: at least the area because on your social media, I
Speaker 1: can see your geolocation. Two, you have a picture of
Speaker 1: you holding all this cash. I'm like, bet they have cash.
Speaker 1: Three you're talking about I'm going to be dot dot
Speaker 1: dot here tonight. It's like, say less, I'll come get
Speaker 1: that watch, you know. And I just thought, you know,
Speaker 1: like it's so crazy, whether you know you're a Kim
Speaker 1: Kardashian or just a regular person, how much we actually
Speaker 1: share and how much we put ourselves in danger by
Speaker 1: sharing what we share, and you know, like people wanting
Speaker 1: to come and steal your watch or money or or
Speaker 1: things like that.
Speaker 2: And I just was just like to watch.
Speaker 1: It was really like ie opening because I don't really
Speaker 1: post like, you know, like that kind of stuff anymore,
Speaker 1: but I used to. I used to be like, you know,
Speaker 1: it was fun like now I'm out here, like oh
Speaker 1: we went to hear I'm about to get on you know,
Speaker 1: you don't think about it, or like I'm on vacation,
Speaker 1: basically come rob my house, you know. Yeah, So it's
Speaker 1: just what I just wanted to get your feedback on
Speaker 1: that that, like, whoof how does that make you feel?
Speaker 1: Like knowing that like, yikes that people be watching?
Speaker 3: I don't. I mean I feel like I maybe because
Speaker 3: I've covered personal finance for so long and I covered
Speaker 3: like cyber crime and like people stealing. And one of
Speaker 3: the one of the tips experts would always say is
Speaker 3: do not post on social media when you're going on vacation.
Speaker 3: And one of my good friends, like a family friend,
Speaker 3: just posted this weekend a picture of her kids at
Speaker 3: the airport. Is are about to go to you know,
Speaker 3: on a trip, And I was like, don't are you
Speaker 3: at the airport now? Is this an old photo? Like,
Speaker 3: don't post that right now, because literally now everyone knows
Speaker 3: that you're gonna be gone for an extended period of
Speaker 3: time at your house. So I don't know, in the
Speaker 3: back of my mind, I've always felt that way. So
Speaker 3: a lot of the stuff I post is from the
Speaker 3: day after or you know, the week after or whatever.
Speaker 3: But yeah, do not. I don't know if there's a
Speaker 3: way to like turn I don't think that like Instagram
Speaker 3: tracks your location, right, I mean, unless.
Speaker 1: You put the locations well, this is what integra Every
Speaker 1: time I come on, like, cause you know, I always
Speaker 1: take the app off my phone cause toxic. So whenever
Speaker 1: I download the app again and I signed it, it
Speaker 1: always says before I post something, do I want to
Speaker 1: have approximate location or pinpointed location? That doesn't give me
Speaker 1: an opportunity to say neither as far as I can tell,
Speaker 1: And so I always say approximate obviously because I'm just
Speaker 1: like little child. But it is really scary, you know,
Speaker 1: like in this day and age, it's just really crazy
Speaker 1: because one of the things that the robbers said, he said,
Speaker 1: it's it's like Heroin to influencers, that the attention they
Speaker 1: get for showing off their financial gains.
Speaker 2: And literally they.
Speaker 1: Had just interviewed a young woman who her whole apartment
Speaker 1: was ransacked just a few months prior, and she asked
Speaker 1: her what are you doing now to protect herself?
Speaker 2: She was saying the same things.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't post real time, but she the
Speaker 1: interviewer went out with her party with her friends, and
Speaker 1: literally in the interview, she's showing.
Speaker 2: Off her watch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this watch I bought for this, And then the
Speaker 1: interviewers said, like after leaving her and her friends at
Speaker 1: the party, she said, now let me check her Instagram
Speaker 1: and looked at her stories, and in her stories it
Speaker 1: showed exactly where she was because she's like I just
Speaker 1: left her, so she's currently there now exactly what she's doing.
Speaker 1: It's like I wonder, like, what is that need for
Speaker 1: validation so much that after putting your life at risk.
Speaker 2: And almost having it taken.
Speaker 3: You put your life at risk again, like soon after
Speaker 3: instant gratification. There must be some kind of like chemical,
Speaker 3: like a hit of something like it the dopamine receptors
Speaker 3: in our brains or whatever it is that make when
Speaker 3: you eat sugar, and it's like more more a little
Speaker 3: bit of that, and I'm like everyone else, I get
Speaker 3: that little bit of like a you know, when you
Speaker 3: see something you posted of like has like gotten a
Speaker 3: lot of attention, you get that little bit of like gratification.
Speaker 3: I'm suspicious of that feeling, though at least be like
Speaker 3: I think we should all be suspicious of that feeling
Speaker 3: and just ask why do you need that? You know,
Speaker 3: and are you okay without it? I'm very at peace.
Speaker 3: If you came to my house and took something, I'd
Speaker 3: still be I like, you know what you want my
Speaker 3: zucchinis and my want the caterpillars.
Speaker 1: Right, It's true, there's nothing really to take over here.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want to carry cash on me.
Speaker 3: I'm meant my baby and maybe husband on.
Speaker 2: A day, depending on the day you came.
Speaker 3: However, if you'd like a sixty pound mutt, you can
Speaker 3: take Molly in.
Speaker 2: Molly's like, oh word, if you can carry her, you.
Speaker 3: Can have her.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it just can't be thinking like a lot,
Speaker 1: like you know, because it's really hard honestly, social media.
Speaker 1: I just was like I jumped down the robbin hole
Speaker 1: of just watching what what it's done to people's psyche,
Speaker 1: watching financial affluence being touted on social media. You know
Speaker 1: how this is huge raise and like you know, cybercrimes
Speaker 1: and just like you know, depression and just feeling you're
Speaker 1: comparing yourself. I remember, do you remember when we first
Speaker 1: going on? Like I remember, like Facebook was the only thing.
Speaker 1: But I remember when I first came on Facebook and
Speaker 1: there were people who I knew in real life, because
Speaker 1: back then you've just followed people that you knew. But
Speaker 1: I remember being like, wait, he's on that lavish vacation,
Speaker 1: but I know them. He doesn't have money. I just
Speaker 1: remember being so confused because I was like, such and
Speaker 1: such works at the pharmacy, making nine dollars an hour,
Speaker 1: complaining about you know, his nineteen eighty nine civic But
Speaker 1: meanwhile the pictures were saying, just oh, you're luxuriating once
Speaker 1: again in Miami, And I just remember being so confused,
Speaker 1: and honestly, I started to feel like, what am I
Speaker 1: doing wrong? Because that person can afford this and I
Speaker 1: seemingly can't afford that. But I remember that very, very
Speaker 1: very being confused about how people I knew, how they
Speaker 1: were living in real life versus what they were putting
Speaker 1: on social media not real life at the time that
Speaker 1: that was something it was going to develop into this
Speaker 1: dual life that people portrayed as a release to their finances.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I don't think anything has driven that
Speaker 3: point home. The whole point of like social media is
Speaker 3: a curated lie that we tell the world as much
Speaker 3: as like now that I'm a mom, every cute picture
Speaker 3: of my son, just know bet that there was a
Speaker 3: tantrum before or after, and I wanted to give him
Speaker 3: back to the uterus like just no, and my own
Speaker 3: mother when she saw it in person when I was
Speaker 3: visiting her in July in Saint Louis, and I take
Speaker 3: amazing I'm a great photographer. I will toot my own horn.
Speaker 3: I love taking pictures. I always have. My dad's a photographer.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: I take epic photos of Rio and my mom is like,
Speaker 3: so this is how you do it, Like that little
Speaker 3: beautiful smile is because like you've thrown something at him
Speaker 3: that now you have to clean up, or because he's
Speaker 3: just rubbed snot on you and he thinks it's hilarious.
Speaker 3: And she's like, yeah, now I see, yeah, so everything is.
Speaker 3: I think you just have to I'm able to consume
Speaker 3: social media now because I understand that. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 3: I know they're real, real and I'll say say that
Speaker 3: it's a lie or it's just what people want to show.
Speaker 3: But there's so much behind the scenes. I went on
Speaker 3: a walk this morning. I usually take my walks in
Speaker 3: the morning, and I have it stack you're proud of.
Speaker 3: I have a stack. If I drop Rio off, I
Speaker 3: go to the park do my little walk. And a
Speaker 3: girlfriend of mine who she's a young mom too in
Speaker 3: my area, a black mom, and there's not a lot
Speaker 3: of us, and she and I have been talking about
Speaker 3: meeting up in the park for a while. She just
Speaker 3: had her second baby. Finally made it happen and we
Speaker 3: just had like we walked for about four miles and
Speaker 3: an hour and a half, and the conversations that we have,
Speaker 3: I mean, that's really where I think that you see
Speaker 3: what's happening behind people, And that conversation that I had
Speaker 3: just reminded me. Between that conversation I had with this
Speaker 3: fellow mom and just like being there for her and
Speaker 3: for each other. And then yesterday when my butt ran
Speaker 3: over something. Whoever led a shot putball loose on the
Speaker 3: highway yesterday to eighty seven in Westchester, you can go
Speaker 3: to hell because I ran over it, got it my
Speaker 3: first flat tire my whole life, and I had to
Speaker 3: like I was pandiced because I, you know, got the
Speaker 3: car toad. And then I had to pick up Rio
Speaker 3: from daycare like an hour later, and I didn't have
Speaker 3: a way of getting him because we only had the
Speaker 3: one car, and my neighbor fellow mom, I called her, Brianna,
Speaker 3: who I haven't talked to you in like a week,
Speaker 3: and I was like, Brianna, can you take me to
Speaker 3: pick up Rio? I don't you know she has a
Speaker 3: car seat. So my my neighbor took me to get
Speaker 3: Rio yesterday, and I just feel like those two back
Speaker 3: to back experiences just humbled me and reminded me like
Speaker 3: just get off the phone for a minute and like
Speaker 3: connect with people you never know who would benefit from
Speaker 3: just like ten minutes of you having a conversation with them.
Speaker 3: And also like I needed that at the same time.
Speaker 3: And I feel like whenever I feel really good about myself,
Speaker 3: like I got it going on, I got I got this,
Speaker 3: I got that. Business is good, I have my stuff together.
Speaker 3: Life has a way of just throwing you on your
Speaker 3: ass and reminding you that you need people, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. Like when I say I was humbled,
Speaker 3: I'm in the passenger seat of my neighbor's car like
Speaker 3: like a teenager, like can't need to stop and shop
Speaker 3: because I also ordered groceries and now I have no
Speaker 3: way of getting them, Like so humbled. Yeah, that's the
Speaker 3: shit that matters. Forget the forget the icing, you know,
Speaker 3: like the jewels and all of that. Anyway, So shall
Speaker 3: we brown boosty brown break? Ye Oh, I have a
Speaker 3: good one. Yes, let's take a quick let's take a
Speaker 3: quick baby break and be right back with our brown
Speaker 3: boost brown break.
Speaker 2: It's time for offend.
Speaker 1: Nook No, no, that's b a qa. I'm like, what's
Speaker 1: my brown bootsbew break song? Oh girl, my brain. Well
Speaker 1: we just go cut straight to the straight to the straight.
Speaker 1: It's time for a brown boost and brown break. So
Speaker 1: if you're new, you know, just in case, you know,
Speaker 1: when we're brown boosting brown breaking, we're taking a break
Speaker 1: from the things that we're like this.
Speaker 2: No moss, you're no like you no, say I don't
Speaker 2: want it.
Speaker 1: And then brown boost is when we're like, ooh we
Speaker 1: love more of this more yes, yeah, yes, KKK, give
Speaker 1: it good, give it, give a give it. So you know,
Speaker 1: we tend to be heavy brown boosts here because you
Speaker 1: know it's already breaking outside. But sometimes we do have
Speaker 1: a break. So you said you had a brown boost
Speaker 1: for us, Mandra.
Speaker 3: I have a twofer. Are you going to do the
Speaker 3: appraisal one? Is that one of yours?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: No, no, because we have to quickly mention this insane
Speaker 3: story when whenever I get tagged in another one of these,
Speaker 3: like black family got their home appraised. You know it
Speaker 3: came in a lot less and then they had a
Speaker 3: white person stand in and all of a sudden their
Speaker 3: house was worth twice as much. I constantly think, oh,
Speaker 3: we already talked about that. It's the same story. Never
Speaker 3: it's always a new one. I can't believe that shit
Speaker 3: is still happening. But if you guys haven't seen it,
Speaker 3: this New York Times article came out last week. Home
Speaker 3: a praised with a black owner four hundred and seventy
Speaker 3: two thousand dollars with a white owner seven hundred and
Speaker 3: fifty thousand, cold crazy craziness. So just brown break for
Speaker 3: all that brown boost to the family because they are
Speaker 3: suing the lender lone depot. Even though these line they
Speaker 3: hire like they have contractor appraisers that they you know,
Speaker 3: outsource the work to, it's still you know, their responsibility.
Speaker 3: So the family is actually suing loan depot. I hope
Speaker 3: that they, I don't know, get their day in court
Speaker 3: or settle or whatever. But brown, brown break for that.
Speaker 3: And then I wanted to do a brown boost because well.
Speaker 2: Let me just jump in real quick with that brown booth.
Speaker 1: So just so you know, go ahead, I'm working on
Speaker 1: a law. Remember I let the same Angela Vie McKnight.
Speaker 1: Assembly Woman Angelobe McKnight. I wrote the budget list the
Speaker 1: law A one four one four making financial education mandatory
Speaker 1: for middle school students in the state of NJ because
Speaker 1: New Jersey already has a high school long place, right,
Speaker 1: So that same assembly woman hit me up when when
Speaker 1: it happened to me, and so the law has officially
Speaker 1: become a big and well, our appraisal potential law is
Speaker 1: now a bill.
Speaker 2: It's going to be voted on.
Speaker 1: Soon, so hopefully I'll have a second law under my
Speaker 1: belt and making you know, it illegal to appraise or
Speaker 1: property based upon race, gender, you know, sexual orientation, anything
Speaker 1: like that. And then on top of it, because I
Speaker 1: said the law has to include education that I wanted
Speaker 1: to like, I want this bill, which it does have,
Speaker 1: included that that your realtor and the appraiser has to
Speaker 1: give you some sort of checklist of like what to like,
Speaker 1: what you should expect from the appraisal process, and then
Speaker 1: what to do if you suspect that your appraisal has
Speaker 1: been done based upon you know, like your your race,
Speaker 1: your your sexual orientation, your gender, whatever, like what your
Speaker 1: recourse is that has to be included in the appraisal.
Speaker 1: So that way, the appraiser knows I'm on to you,
Speaker 1: and so that bill. Let's all cross our fingers and
Speaker 1: hope that this bill becomes law, because if we can
Speaker 1: set precedent in New Jersey, then other states can look
Speaker 1: at that, can multiply it and that and hopefully one
Speaker 1: day can become a federal law, because our current administration
Speaker 1: has mentioned that they understand that the appraisal process is
Speaker 1: contributing to the racial wealth gap.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's so powerful. I'm glad you brought that up.
Speaker 3: Do you have like a copy or a link to
Speaker 3: that bill?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know what, I was just thinking, like,
Speaker 1: you know, because usually there's like a number going to
Speaker 1: I'll text Angela today and do, like what's the number
Speaker 1: front of the bill because you'll be able to like
Speaker 1: google it and then it'll pull up the because she'd
Speaker 1: given it to me before and I saw it online
Speaker 1: and of course I forgot. But I'm gonna get it to.
Speaker 3: Media out there because if we post that, then even
Speaker 3: now before it even becomes a law, if you guys
Speaker 3: want to like send this to your local assembly person
Speaker 3: or you know, your local legislative people, Like, can I
Speaker 3: think of the words representatives just as an example. I
Speaker 3: mean even that it's in progress, it's powerful. So look out,
Speaker 3: look at you making changes. I'm just hitting sitting here complaining.
Speaker 3: Tiffany's like, I got that move on. So my boost
Speaker 3: was going to be a fun one because tif you
Speaker 3: don't really get listen in our relationship, we have so
Speaker 3: much going for us. But if I'm honest, something has
Speaker 3: always lacked for me? Can I be honest with you? Okay,
Speaker 3: So you don't love Beyonce like I do, Tiffany, and I.
Speaker 1: Can't love Beyonce it but not like I mean, I
Speaker 1: do love Beyonce, not like me, yes, not like you.
Speaker 3: So I have not been able to have my moment
Speaker 3: where I geek out with someone about the new Renaissance
Speaker 3: album until the Read finally came out of their hiatus.
Speaker 3: They have been off all summer long. A's a two
Speaker 3: hour episode. When I tell you, it fed my soul
Speaker 3: because they go track by track That's what I but wanting.
Speaker 2: I listened to that started by this morning. It's funny.
Speaker 1: I know Kid Fury was away for mental health, which
Speaker 1: is it's awesome he took that time away, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I was listening to this morning when I was doing
Speaker 1: my jump ropes and I was just.
Speaker 3: Like, okay, yeah, they gave me.
Speaker 1: But I guess I'm not a Beyonce connais you know,
Speaker 1: am a I'm a fringe Beyonce. Stand like, I don't
Speaker 1: I have a card, but I can't find where it is.
Speaker 1: You know, my my car carrying.
Speaker 3: Fine, It's fine. And no one comes to Brown Ambition
Speaker 3: for us to talk about the Beyonce Renaissance album, but
Speaker 3: we do go to the Read for that. So if
Speaker 3: you're like me, a fellow Bee Hive member and you
Speaker 3: just want to Marinade and the beauty and the joy
Speaker 3: and the goddess that is Beyonce and her new album
Speaker 3: the Read's latest episode, you will not be disappointed. I
Speaker 3: spent I took my day off on Friday. The whole
Speaker 3: day I took, I listened to that two hour episode,
Speaker 3: and after every ten minute segment where they talked about
Speaker 3: a song, I listened to that song, and then I
Speaker 3: listened to the next segment. It was they so tif,
Speaker 3: you know, but I believe in relationships, we can't expect
Speaker 3: each other to be everything, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: So I hope I had to fulfill that part of
Speaker 3: me outside of the show.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you found soulless. I'm glad you found a
Speaker 1: place to be made whole again. And so I'm going
Speaker 1: to finish listening to the episode and you know that way,
Speaker 1: you know we can we could. You know, it's not
Speaker 1: too late. We can still chit chat about it, you know, okay,
Speaker 1: because you won't break my soul. So my booze, I
Speaker 1: have a two for two part boost. First boost, I
Speaker 1: was I did a lot today with Financial Times. It's
