• 0:37
  Speaker 5: It's a docu series. How'd that come about?
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Also, the production company Cocoa Butter, they actually reached out
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: to us because they wanted us to audition for it
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: because they had us and like I think some other
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: maybe like two or three other friend groups in mind.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: So we auditioned for it. They loved us, and then
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: we got it and we started filming maybe like a
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: month after. Yeah, and they really filmed the whole show
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: in two weeks.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Coke but.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: No, it's actually not it's a white guy.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So what a travel Queen's about?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Where you're going with what y'all doing?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: So we went to four different cities.
• 1:18
  Speaker 6: We went to Cardahena, Mexico City, and Key West Charleston.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: So it's basically.
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: Really showing, like young black millennials gen zers, especially women,
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: how to travel, where to go eat, where to find
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: other black people when you travel, just how to be
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: safe and have a good time. I think right now,
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: and media I won't say right now, but I feel
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: like a lot of stuff that we're seeing in the
• 1:39
  Speaker 6: media with black women it's like who fighting, throwing drinks
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: in people's face. So I really think it's refreshing to
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: see two black women who are really friends just having good,
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: innocent fun. We're not talking about men and dating and
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: gender wars and all this stuff.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: It's just good fun.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: What about the ladies that are watching it, like, well,
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: how am I going to be able to fly myself.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Out from there?
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Actually? Bet?
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: But I will say so. A lot of the stuff too,
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: is like it's budget friendly. I mean, we went to Charleston,
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, But you can do it
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: around trip. We went to key West, so you can
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: drive to key West, you know what I'm saying.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You don't have to necessarily fly.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: It's not like we're doing extremely expensive things, to be honest,
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: So I think if you budget you know, it's not
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: like we're doing luxurious things and going to the Maldi's
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: and you know, staying at the Four Seasons. It's very
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: budget friendly stuff.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that was the point of the show.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: They wanted to make everybody feel like, Okay, I can
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: come here and I don't have to spend a lot
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: of money to have a good time.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: So for god was flying.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: I still want to go to those destinations, Yeah, but
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: I probably would have some different.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Is one of them a little ducked up?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I remember it is? That's before I.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Wasn't through out by cocoa butter, but that that's.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Usually the older gentleman. Yes, it's a very like quiet town.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: You can definitely sneak off there with the old I
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: had never been the key Waste before.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That was my first time.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: It was you know, water blue, The water was blue.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: That's a fact took you.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Be confused.
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: So I just told them that when the older guys
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: performed filatio, they don't really know what the congo lings
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: kind of ling when when they're doing that, they say
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: leal because they don't have teef anymore. You know, they're
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: trying to figure out where it is, especially the ones
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: with glasses, you know when they slip down on the
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: nose and they say, letally they be doing as a
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: glass like that, because a lot of it's gonna get.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: A little nobody. Yeah, the Four Cities, y'all went to. Which
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: one did you like the best? And why?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Mexico CD because it was just so nice.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: I feel like, it's so many black expats that are
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: moving there from the United States, so it's a lot
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: of black people out there. We went to a R
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: and B night while we were out there. We went
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: to a black vegan restaurant. It's just it reminded me
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: a lot of the United States, but just in Mexico C.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: I feel like out of everywhere that we weed, that
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: was my favorite play.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: I keep saying that Charleston surprised me too, like that
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: I've never been to Charleston, and I have a really
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: close friend of mine that lives out there and he's
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: been trying to get me to come out there forever.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And I was like, what is in Charleston, Like, isn't
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that a dance? Like I was like, I'm not going.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: That's but I was so surprised, like people be taking
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: the nice boats out.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: The food is good.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: I had a ball in Charleston, like I'm actually playing
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: in a trip to go back, like beautiful.
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Mexico City is nice. Yeah, it's a lot of
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: people moving there. Yet my husband's family is from there.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Really that's why period.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, y'all travel already yeah yeah, and we already traveled
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: together a lot anyway, so we felt like that's why
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: it was the perfect show for it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Y'all get tired of each other at all, Like, you
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: know what, you go your way, I'll go walk my way.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Wow, we're neighbors. We literally live in Atlanta.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I live in a building right here, and her building
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: is right here and the unit that I used to
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: live in. She could see my apartment from the mood,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: so she would be like waving in me from the pool.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: No, she I followed her because I started building a
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: building ourself in the move, right next door to my
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: sweetie pool.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I love that y'all get tired, sugar.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: You know what's crazy. I think we were younger and
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: the show first started. We didn't have any direction. We
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: didn't know what we wanted to do. We're going through
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: growing pains. But now it's like she's thirty four, I'm
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: thirty five.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: We've grown women. Yeah, we don't have anything to fight about.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: And honestly, I think it's so crazy when people have
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: podcasts and they make so much money and they be arguing.
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: You know what, we have so much fun, like to
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: be able to travel the world with your best friend
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: and have a business.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It's great, it's fun. How was it when y'all get
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: in relationships?
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Though?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Ooh?
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I feel like we do a really good job of
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: still keeping the balance of our friendship and still being
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: in a relationship, Like we always find the time to
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: hang with each other, to go to dinner, to talk
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: on the phone.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: As crazy as it is because the podcast we do
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: talk about dating a lot, we are really not male
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: centered women and a lot of people think that because
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: we talk about dating so much on the show, but
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: we really not.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Like we like to be. Like last year we went
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to Turks for her birthday.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: We wasn't inviting them. We went to Miami one year
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: for my birthday. Like, we just go on trips by ourself.
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: We're not like, oh, our boyfriends have to come, or
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: if we go to dinner, it's not like, oh, bring
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: your man, it's none of that, none.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Of the yah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Y'all still bowed up. You know, you know you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Like dance.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: You're in a rocky place. We gonna see what happens.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: It's complicated, yeah, which is crazy, right because I feel
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: like it happened simultaneously, like at the same time for
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: both of us. We started kind of going through a
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: transition and a break up at the same time.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: But it's not like in the bad space.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: No.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not like we're cool. It's cool. We're figuring
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: it out type stuck each other up. Like girl, leave him,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonnaleave him.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: If you leave him, or if you know what.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know what's crazy.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: No, I'm really like that friend where when she calls
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: me and she talks to me about what's going on
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: in her relationship and stuff, I'm just always like, okay, girl,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: well you know, do what you want to do. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: try to be supporting of what she want to do,
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: as long as it's not a fically violent situation or
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: something that you need to lead the abusive or anything
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: like that. I try to be supportive of my friends.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: It's like when you love somebody you want to.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Stay with your man. It's hard all here, y'all.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: All men, y'all all married, y'all got y'all.
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: No, I don't know why.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: He was just in love last year.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I still ever loved. I'm very much in love.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Like I said, it's just a situation. We're figuring it out.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: I don't you know, but I think we're both so
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: focused on our careers right now. And I know it
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: sounds so cliche, but I'm just a person. He's an
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: amazing guy. If we're meant to be together, we're gonna
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: be together. So I'm just not putting pressure on it,
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: you know what I mean.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: So it's cool. We're gonna figure it out.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: You know what have y'all learned about y'allselves from doing
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: the podcast? The podcast first one?
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: No longer than that.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: We started doing Poor Minds when I was like twenty seven,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: so yeah, seven years yeah, seven years now.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Okay, soe y'all at that. See, people don't realize this
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: is at the point, this is the time when podcasts
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: really start to take off. Round your seven figure everybody
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: think it's just instant success.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, round your.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Seven fifth years. So what have y'all learned about yourselves.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: For me, I would say transparency and vulnerability is healing.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: When I first started doing the show, I think that
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I always have kind of had more of a closed
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: off personality. I've always been a little bit more private
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: than like She's always been like an open book on
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: the show. And I never used to want to talk
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: about things that I was going through because I felt
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: like it was a sign of weakness.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And I've just.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Always had this thing where I don't want people to
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: look at me like, you know, I'm weak or whatever.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: So I think that now I'm in a space where
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: I enjoy telling my story. I enjoy telling people the
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: things that I'm going through because I feel like it
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: can help other people get through this through similar things
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: or you know. Just being transparent to me is just
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: very important at this point in my life because I
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: don't know, I just I don't want to get emotional.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: I don't want to get emotional a little bit. But like,
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: I lost my dad and it was something that was
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: thank you, it was something that was really really hard
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: for me to talk about on the show. But I
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: wish that back then I had the same mindset because
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I feel like I was dealing with so much by myself,
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: and when I started talking about it on the show,
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: it was just so many people in such an outpouring
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: of love, people saying I've been through the same thing.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: I can understand where you're coming from. So that's what
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: I've learned over the years about myself. I think that
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: I really enjoy now telling people what I'm going through
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: instead of just feeling like I have to go through
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: everything by myself.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: I think with me, I'm such like a loud personality,
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: and I think a lot of times I would try
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: to hide that from people, and I just embrace who
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: I am, Like I'm not the sexy girl that's doing
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: all this, Like I'm a tomboy. I like to be loud,
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: have fun. So I really got confidence about myself because
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: I'm like.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: This is who I am. I think for when I
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: first started, like being on social media, I was like
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: doing the bikini pigs and posing body pull I'm like, girl,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: this is not you at all.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: So I've really been able to embrace myself and be like,
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: you know what you'd allow homegirl, and that's okay, Like
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: you don't have to fit into this box of what
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: you think that a woman is supposed to because people
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: always love to say because I know you hear.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: This a lot.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: They'd be like, oh, funny women aren't pretty or you
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: have to either you funny or you're pretty.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: You can't be both, you know what I'm saying.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: So I feel like I used to try to lean
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: into being the pretty girl, and then I would try
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: to lean.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: To be the funny girl. And I'm like, you know what,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I don't have to be in anybody's box. Yeah, you
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: So you've always been sexy, you just don't give off
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: sex like you said, like, you're just not prissy, You're
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: just yeah.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Well, we talked about this on the show.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: There's a difference between like having sex appeal and like
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: being attractive.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Like Drea just is like sexy, you know what I'm saying.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: She's walking around she's like.
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: Hey, oh yeah, you know.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I just think, like being said it
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: really much.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Sex appeal is something that's just yeah inside, yes, and.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: I just think like that's not a part of my personality.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: But that's okay. It's not I'm not saying I'm unattractive.
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: I'm a batty you feel me, you know what I'm saying.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: So I just think that I've been more comfortable, like
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: being in my skin and who I am.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: For sure, growing out loud is hard, yes, you know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: and that's what you'll been doing the last seven years
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: on that podcast.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Liter like going through everything like she said we she
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: lost her dad, I lost my mom, going through breakups
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: and then it's like, you know, we'd be like, oh,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: we in love and then the next month were talking
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: about a different doing and every like oh my dad doing.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: The same thing.
• 12:46
  Speaker 6: About you, you know, and people not in your business.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: So I think, yeah, going through relationships and growing pains.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: And I've always been honest about my financial status too,
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: because I always said when I'm was Atlanta, i had
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: three dollars because I did like I wasn't lying. So
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: I think it's important to be transparent, especially as a
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: black woman in this industry. I feel like we always
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: try to hide what we're making because I'm like, oh,
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: this company signed up for your ass, how much they
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: paying you? Because it's how much they paying us, Let's
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: make sure that they not you know what I'm saying.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: So I think that with the platform that we have,
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: it's like, yeah, we've grown in front of the camera,
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: but like she said, being open and vulnerable has helped
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: us one thousand percent.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: Sure. So what have y'all learned about y'allself from doing
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: the TV show?
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: Mm? Honestly, I feel like everybody always asked that because
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: they're like, oh my gosh, how was it? It was
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: two weeks, But I'm like, I don't know nothing. I
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: guess to be honest.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean because it's crazy because I thought it
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: was gonna feel so different, but it felt so natural,
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Like I feel like we made for TV because it
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: felt so natural. It kind of felt like and maybe
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: because we did it together and we're best friends and
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: we already have that chemistry and the camaraderie and stuff.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: It just felt thank you.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: So it just felt like I'm doing this show with
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: my homegirl, and the cameras just happened.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: To be here.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: How many bags did y'all pack?
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: We too, right, No, we had that when we had
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: one big suitcase and like our totes and stuff and
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: then a carry on.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: So what we did though, is though we had the
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: bags from Amazon that you vacuum, So what we did
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: is we had each bag for each city, so I
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: had like my three outfits for Columbia and my vacuum.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Back then, I didn't have to open that bag no more.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: Then when we went to Charleton, I had my bag
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: for Chauton, So it wasn't that bad. But I will
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: say shout out to the producers at BT, James Knox
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: and the Cocoa Butter family, because they really let us
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: be ourselves. Like they were literally like press record, y'all,
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: just do y'all. And that's another thing I was worried about.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: I was like, how are they going to edit this
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: and make us look But it's definitely given lex p
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: Andre and the call.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: You know what's really fun time.
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: So that was my second time going to Columbia, my
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: first time going to card Diana because.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: The first Columbia country.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: You said that to me, I was in Columbia. You
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: are sure white. I am weak, So yeah, but I
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: mean funny enough.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: I think that's what people think of though when you
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: think of Columbia, you think of the cartel and stuff,
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: because like I said, I went to Medayane a few
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: years ago to get my teeth done and I was
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: scared to leave from the area where my hotel was and.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Where my doctor crazy.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was just.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Nervous to travel around because that's what you hear about Columbia.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: So when we went to Cardina, I had a really
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: really good time. And then especially with us going to Polink,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: which is the first free black city in the Americas,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: it was just so you know that it's Afro Latinos
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: in a lot of these countries. But when I say,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: when we were in Polenk, we felt like we were
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: somewhere in Ghana and Nigeria, like these people look like
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: our cousins, our family members. It was just amazing being
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: there and being submerged in the culture.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Do you go away to Columbia to get your teeth
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: done because.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: It was shaper.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I think here was like thirty thousand. You know, I'm
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: getting a little miney.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: But to say get him done here, they're just all
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: the same size, like the extra largest, Like nobody for
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: the mediums or.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Somebody they got the front. They get front teeth for
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the whole world.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when they get the top done and don't get
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: the bottom of the and it's like come on, maybe
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: gets a texture, Like I think that's why my teeth
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: looks so natural because he made like the texture.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: And how the men treat you when they see y'all
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: from outside of which we are usually outside of Atlanta.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: What do you mean?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Because Atlanta, you know, they see beautiful women. Sometimes they
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: might not see that in Colombia, like.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Like American DJ he said, Columbia got ugly women.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: If you said, you know, like usually when you go
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: out the country and they see American women, they treat
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: American women differently because they don't usually see American women
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, honestly, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like whenever
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: we go anywhere, I really can't tell the difference because
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: I feel like everywhere we go we kind of draw attention.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: I know that sounds bad, but it's like everywhere we
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: go we're used to people like we're like, oh my.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: God, I know y'all from the pod saying hey.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: And then when we were in Colombia, it's a little
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: different because we had cameras around us, so of course
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: people are like looking and saying stuff and being So
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: it's kind of hard to tell the difference between, you know, people,
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: how they treat us outside of Atlanta versus anywhere, because
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: I feel like everywhere we go. Now people kind of
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: recognize us, so it's not really like we're getting treated
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: differently per.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Se, if that makes sense.
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: When you said they you were scared of how they
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: were gonna edit y'all and make y'all look. Were y'all
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: allowed to be in the room during that enterprocess? So
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: you just like the y'all trusted them, and you just
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: like the way they ended up editing the episode. Yeah,
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: we didn't know anything, girl, We've seen everything. When everybody
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: else seen, you didn't know how they were were still
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: watching it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: We was on the plane last night watching the episode
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: the first time.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: So are y'all nervous for every episode that?
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: You know what?
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm not nervous now.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: I was nervous of how my body was gonna look
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: because I just lost thirty pounds okay, thank you, Okay,
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: So I when we shot, I weighed like two o five.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: So I was so nervous. I kept saying, oh my gosh,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I hope cause I have like a little belly on me.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: So whenever I gain weight.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: Like people always tend to think I'm pregnant.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: They'd be like, let's pregnant. I'm like, oh my god,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: can I just have a little shot at tequila. Yeah,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I had a little you know, like so I was
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: really more so nervous about my body after I saw
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the first episode. But I was like, okay, body, tea.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Combia, pure coke.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: He said, what. Oh No, Honestly, I used to be
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: a girl. I used to do everything under the sun.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: The first time I went to Columbia for my bbah,
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: so y'all talking about y'all know Columbia for the coke.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: I know Colombia for them good doctors. But I just
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: didn't natural this time. I was doing a lot of cardio,
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: eating healthy. You know, I feel like and I feel
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: better now. I think I'm getting older and I'm just
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: all the I'm not dissing people who do take other routes,
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: but I just had to do it for.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: It wasn't the Olympics. I don't like needles. I couldn't
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: do that to myself. But no, no, ospic.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: I do want to say to you talk about walking
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: in the room. There's something different about Houston women. Houston
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: women have a presence about them that stands out a
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: lot more than a lot of other women. I think
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: it's the side, really, the.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Side usually taller tall. Not originally from Houston. I'm from Orange, Texas. Yes, yes,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. I think we do have a
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: certain or we kind of command the room. You know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: we walk in. We're very friendly.
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: So it's especially when we walk in some rooms with
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: people like from New York, they're not used to people speaking.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: We like hospitality. It's very.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: As some hours, Yeah, it's like two hours.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah. What's something about your friendship that y'all think the
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: TV show made is stronger? If anything, I.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: Think that we realized how strong we are together and
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: how many I feel like, how many doors that we're opening, even.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Though I think and I know people gonna be like,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: what doors you open?
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Honestly, podcasting, especially in the South, it's not a lot
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: of podcasts in the South that are really right. And
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: the fact that there has been podcasters out there that
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: have gotten TV shows, but it's mostly TV shows that
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: are based on their podcast.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: The fact that Travel Queens has.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Nothing to do with poor minds, and we're showing our talents,
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: like we have communication degrees, like we went to school
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: for this. So I think a lot of times people
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: don't take influencers or people who started on the Internet.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Seriously, you started on the internet as well.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: So a lot of times we get so much backlash
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: because they're like, uh, y'all just girls who grabbed a
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: mic and start a YouTube channel. But I think being
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: on this show it shows like, no, we we got
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: some tricks up our sleeve, you know what I'm saying.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: So I think that it made our friendship stronger because
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: I'm like, bro, look at what we have done, you
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. Even from the first time when
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: we came on Breakfast Club, I was like, oh my gosh,
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: like this is huge, you know what I'm saying. So
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: I think this is just like we realized how strong
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: we are together and how much more that we have
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: to do.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: And don't speak pass the fact y'all got communications degree.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: I think people always forget that because we never highlighted
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: that much.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: But graduated from Texas Southern and I graduated from Stephen F. Austin.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: What did y'all want to do? Y'all? In college? I
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: just wanted to be like on TV news anchors or you.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Know, I didn't really know what I wanted to do.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: To be honest, I knew I wanted to do something
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: in media. And then when I graduated, I had a
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: little fake internship at ninety seven nine buck shout out
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: to Kiyati's still Kyati still on the radio in Houston
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: right now, and I had a little fake internship with him.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: I shadowed him for maybe like two months, and then
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: I realized I didn't really like radio. So then I
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: didn't know what I wanted to do, and so I
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: moved to Atlanta. Of course, y'all know, Lex ended up
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: moving out here. One of her friends who was also
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: already into podcast and was like, y'all need to turn
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: y'all YouTube channel into a podcast. And I feel like
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: that's when I found my niche. I was like, okay,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: I'm supposed to be podcasting, but prior to that, I
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: didn't know.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: I thought I was gonna do like hard news. I
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: was like, I'm finna be out roke up. I'm gonna
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: be reporting everything.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: It's gonna great. I'm gonna do Everything's gonna be like,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: y'all don't understand what I'm gonna be America bitch. I
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: was trying to do everything.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: But like, I took an internship at my uh my
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: school radio station, and we were just reporting on hard
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: news every morning. It was so sad, and I was like,
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: I cannot do this, Like we're having to interview people
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: who just lost their house and a fire like all
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: this stuff. And I was like, Okay, maybe I need
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: to redirect. And so I've always been into entertainment news,
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Like I grew up, you know, watching news. You know
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: what I'm saying. The kids was watching Coco, Mela and Rugrass.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I was watching news.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: So I was like, okay, let me do something in
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: the entertainment world like that might be, you know, more
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: of my speed. So I knew I want to do
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: something on TV and media, but I just wasn't sure.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: So podcasting kind of made it easy because I was
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: applying for all the jobs in Houston and I just
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: couldn't get my foot in the door.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: So I was like, well, let me just create our
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: own lane and do our thing.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: How did 'all connect with eighty five South?
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: It was because of Carlos.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: So Carlos always followed us on Twitter and we were
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: cool with him on Twitter, and I think I shot
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: my shot and I was just like, okay, you calum
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: record poor minds with us, And at this time, we
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: weren't even recording in the studio yet. We were still
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: recording in the living room at my house, and he
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: pulled up on us, sat on the floor in my
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: living room and recorded.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Poor Minds with us.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: And then I think ever since then he was just
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: kind of watching us, and then he saw how the
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: show kept growing and elevating, and then a few years
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: later he ended up asking us to come on eighty
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: five South.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: We went on eighty five South.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: I think that episode did a million views in like
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: five days or something. So we ended up the episode
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: did like a million views in five days, and then
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: he introduced us to Chad and he was like, I
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: think you know we want to sign y'all.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I do have a question, uh some advice. I have
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: a single friend. Uh, she has a closet full of wigs, curly.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Terrible wigs.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Oh you know who the friend is.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Sadly, she has a.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Bunch of wigs curly, one day is straight, different colors.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: She's she's funny, she's smart, she switches up her wigs
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: like like a Netflix series.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: But when it comes to dating, she doesn't seem like
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: she can find the right guy. She doesn't know if
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: guys get intimidated.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Or if they just confused, how would you suggest she
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: meets somebody to secure a relationship because time is running out?
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: And saw her wigs, But why did you include the.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Stuff about the wigs? You think the we might be
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: the reason why she can't find the men.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, think about it, just thinks that. I'm sure
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: that y'all felt like y'all had to change about yourselves
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: a little bit and it probably made them, you know,
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: a little stronger for the fish.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, you know what kind of men are she
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: is she trying to date? Because you know they say
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: they like bad weed, the white.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: They love a crunching maybe a crunches steal. I could
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: not keep the Bretts off of me.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: They do. But I will say that we were actually
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: just having this conversation. We was literally just talking about this.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: They don't they have that same hardwig soft life.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: Maybe should a different pool.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: She's in the wrong pool. It might be in the
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: wrong pool one.
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: But I will say we were just telling our producer this,
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: and I was saying, like, when you get your look
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: together and you feel confident in yourself, it doesn't even matter,
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: Like whatever makes you feel good, You're gonna attract the
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: right person.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I enjoy being polished. I used to have a stiff
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: wig or two. You still got one of them? She does,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: she does, but.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I called her. I said, well, she wins her first EM.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna put it on eBay and don't got the
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: collectors item and it still has the screensheet on it
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: and everything.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: It's in the pony tail.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: Who do you think lies? More women with bad wigs
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: are men with podcasts.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Me and with with podcasts hands down, Oh my god.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: The girl with a stiff wig A bad week? You
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: living in your truth? Yeah, trip for the two weeks
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that we we didn't.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Me and Lex honestly really get along most of the time.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: We never really argue against if we do, because I
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: feel like we can. We're at a point now in
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: our relationship where we can since when the other person
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: low key's tired to me, like, but it be.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: Over silly stuff like dram be running late sometimes and
• 27:12

  Speaker 1: I was protecting.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: Transparent and on TV. How do y'all protect y'all at that?
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: I praize I have a great relationship with God. I
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: p realized. I also go to therapy. I think it's
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: so important to go to therapy, and I don't know
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: why in the black community so many people don't want
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: to try it out, are afraid to try it out.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: Like it has completely changed my life, especially when I
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: was grieving when I lost my dad. That's when I
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: started therapy and I've been going ever since. It's been
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: about five years now.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the same.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: I go to therapy. I recently started going. I go
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: to church every Sunday. I do not play. I've worked
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: on my relationship with God, and honestly, I really have
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: a tight close knit circle, like my friends and my family,
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: like me and my sister are extremely close, and I
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: feel like that's important. Like when I have my bad
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: days and I'm just like, my best friend is here
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: with me, killer I'm like, you need to come to Atlanta,
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: like I'm not doing too well, and she will literally
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: hop on a plane and come see me. And you know,
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: because we all have our moments, even with Drave me
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: and my neighbor, I'm like, I had a breakdown last
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: week and I called her.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, bro, I'm finna lose my mind.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: So I think it's very important to have people around
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: you that you know, when I'm down, they can pick
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: me up and vice versa.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: So you had a grief counselor or you're just just
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: a therapist. But I mean she did specialize in grief,
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: so yeah, and that helped. It helps me a lot
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: for sure, because I mean, I will talk to my
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: mom about it, but it was hard talking to my
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: mom about it because she was also grieving as well.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: And it was just nice to have somebody who was unbiased,
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: who I could let all my feelings out and let
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: them know how I was feeling. Because at the time,
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: you know, Lex hadn't lost her mom yet, so I
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: didn't have any friends that had lost the parents, So
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: it wasn't anybody that I could talk to that I
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: felt like could relate to what I was going through.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: Man. Yeah, condolences man. And when you are going through
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: those breakdowns, like you said, you hit dred, what you
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: pull over the bottle or something?
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Some smoke?
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: What you'all do?
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I always got about it. Not some smoke and I
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: think coke either about to go out to make yourself
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: feel better.
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: No, But honestly, you know what, I don't even think
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: we do that anymore. We used to, but now we
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: really just talk like we drink through our problems.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: But we really don't do that anymore. We really just
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: talk it out and you know, just give each other
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: time and just be there for each other, you know
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, And one thing I've learned is just like
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: I've learned so much patience. I have so much peace
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: in that because it doesn't rain forever. So every time
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: I'm going through something, I'm just like, just let it pass,
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: and it always always passes.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: So I think we we we we still get turned
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: bottle the wine though.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah we don't drink now, but we don't use it
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: as a crutch anymo.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was how do y'all balance like turning up
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: for the show because you still got to perform, right
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: because it's still a TV show, but then being present
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: for the moments that you're experiencing, like those cultural mom
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: You know what's crazy.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: We didn't really drink that much the whole time that
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: we were filming. Like, we had a few scenes, like
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: we had a mexcal scene, so of course we were
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: drinking during that scene.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I think the Drag show.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we were drinking a little bit, and then we
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: had some mohitos, But honestly, those were the only three
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: times throughout the whole time we were filming that we
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: were drinking because we really wanted to stay present in
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: the moment because one thing about this we're gonna take
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: it to the moon, We're gonna take it too far.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: So it's missed to just not have no drinks.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And it's crazy because the mescal scene that we
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: did that showed in Mexico City last night. That was
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: actually the last scene that we did for the entire show,
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: and that was probably the most like lit that we
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: got because we were drinking so much. But I think
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: it's very different from Poor Minds. But honestly, we stopped
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: drinking a.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Lot on Poor Minds.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because it was like some cringy episodes and we
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: just like, oh my god, it was the Houston Live showed.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: It was so embarrassing because we recorded the show and
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: then we went back and watched it when we got
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: back to and it was just so cringey. We was
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: on stage like yeah, Lex, let's turn up, and we
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: bringing our friends on stage and just drunk, taking shots, twerking.
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: It was.
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: It was a miss one of my favorite shows. Y'all
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: came out and y'all was just dancing.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: And it was in the zone that that was Houston.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: But that was like our second Huston show. We have
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: the freaking outfits on.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Was a good show. We have put ourselves on a
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: drink minimum.
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: We have a two shot minimum before we go on stage,
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: and then we'll have like a drink on stage, but
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: we have one drink go on stage and that's it.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Once we're done with that drink, you're done. Yeah, that
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: first Houston show, we drunk that whole bottle.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because we was turning.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: I'm always not always a little nervous, always trying to
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: turn up.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize I was getting so drunk.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: With the long term vision for the show, more seasons, yea,
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: it's we're hoping it's gonna get picked up for a
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: second season. I think we should probably know that within
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: like the next two weeks or so. So obviously we
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: wanted to get picked up. And as far as Poor Minds,
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: we want Poor Minds to get picked up as a
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: TV show as well. Yeah, that's on our bucket leads.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: I think like with Travel Queens, I definitely wanted to
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: be a lot more seasons. I feel like we should
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: do like a whole season, like in Africa, a whole
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: season in Europe. So that's what we're holding. That'll that
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: it'll grow to. And you know, same thing with Poor Minds.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: I can see Poor Minds living on like, you know,
• 35:30
  Speaker 6: maybe like a streaming app or something that you know,
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: outside of YouTube. I think we're ready to make that
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: transition with Poor Minds as well. And yeah, yeah, for sure,
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: and more hosting opportunities for the both of us and individually.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: She still has her cosmetics line that's doing really well,
• 35:47

  Speaker 6: hosting as well.
