  Speaker 1: Monica Samuels, and I'm here with my lovely co host,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Julie Orchid.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Oh so nice of you to say, say it's Friday.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: You look amazing as we say here all thank you.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I mean I feel we'refreshed. You look great. Thank you.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Although we're battling a little bad weather here, you know, a.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Little it's bad weather.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: We're just not used to anything other than just sunshine
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and being hot. And uh, if it rains here, we're yeah,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: we we cry if it freezes. There is when I
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: say nothing on the shelves, Oh it's nothing.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: In Texas, they only have to hear the word ice
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and everybody runs and buys everything in the store. Exactly
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: something that the stores probably should get together and just
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: start promoting.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Listen that there's an ice storm.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I have enough on this body to last three days.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I'm fine.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I'm going to starve to death,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: although being a mom, I'm a little worried about it.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: You know, like he's going to starve because he bought
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: no food, no nothing.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: So yeah, they have to learn sadly, Yes.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: You're right, they do anyway, just like your children. So
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you have two daughters, I do you do? So I
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: have two sons and you have two daughters.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: So we live in different worlds when I say different worlds.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And your daughters are extraordinarily talented. They they performed at
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the Zach Scott Theater. They were always in the musicals
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and they were always doing that.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Where did they get this talent?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Not from me? Well I can tell you that, but.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm pretty sure they didn't get it from the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: other side. Well you're yeah, I'm sure that didn't happen.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: So what was the mailman like? Did he have a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: great voice or what was it?
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: You can still it all.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Here listen, you know, thank you for saying that about
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: my daughters. If I could, if I could sing, I
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: would give anything to be able to carry a tune.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: So I'm not very sure.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Just let's hear it. Let's hear a little.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's nice. That's not gonna happen because we
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: want people to watch, we want people to listen.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, you know, like.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I can only compare it to so like Oprah and
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Gail did this road trip. I don't know if you
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: guys know it, and they almost broke up their friendship
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: because apparently Gail cannot sing and Oprah was not having it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: She's like, you cannot do that anymore, and I feel
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: like that is not I mean, so I'm going to
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: go on a road trip with my dog and she
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem to mind.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, so I mean, can you act?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I can't act.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: No, I can't sing. I mean, well, I did let
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: her inquire in high school. No, middle school. Sorry, I
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: quit by the time it was high school. Okay.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And you know what, when he handed me that letter,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I was just as shocked as he was, I think.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't even know he had a nod
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: at me to tell me, Yes, I called your name.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, I have a thing of people who tell
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: me that, oh, we can teach you to sing, Julie,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: or we can teach you to ski. I find none
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: of that to be true.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's true. I find that.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that. Yeah that there are things I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: can do and things I can't do.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I'm just a tough student.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I guess, well, I'm they got their talent from somewhere,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: so let's Yeah, it's been so much sing and act
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and all of that, which I think maybe deep down
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: maybe you really can. You just never tried. You just
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: never had the nerve because they got their talent somewhere.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Oh acting, I would go after.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So would you ever want to, like, if you could,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: would it be cool to perform with them?
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: It would be amazing to do something with them all
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the way. I don't know if they feel the same,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: but they're not here today, so I feel like I
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: would be able. We would have so much fun. I
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: think that we would love it. I think we could
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: do it. There's gonna be some moments where we definitely
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: knock heads, but I mean, I'm truly just being honest,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: and I would probably have to pull the mom card
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a couple of times. I would probably say something dumb
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: like because I said so, I don't know, like because
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you have nothing else like to grasp onto that you
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: got to play the card I'm the mom.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I was curious about that because you know, I've I've
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: spent all the time with you and shared a room
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: with you, you know when la and everything, and I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: have heard some discussion you know, around other like school
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and things like that.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, there might be some sarcasm in there
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: when I'm talking.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: To them, but it could probably be a good business.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna say that you're a lot nicer
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to your boys, probably, But we're girls, and people who
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: have daughters know what I'm saying.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have daughters, so I had sisters though,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: So I get that you mostly thought about who was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the prettiest, which is kind of hilarious because for.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: All I know, the whole world thought none of you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: But we had to find about that all the time.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: But yeah, the boys, they just hang up on you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: or just tell you.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I find it a really cool gift that
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: when mom's daughters can really jive and have this a
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: positive relationship and a working relationship, that is a bonus.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Let's find out more about that. Maybe after this interview
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you will be inspired to take some singing lessons and
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: get your girls on the road. It could be a trio.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: This is true, The Orchids, the Flowers Cool.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: That's an interesting band name.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll work on that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Today, we are thrilled to have with us a dynamic
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and captivating mother daughter duo known as One the Duo,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: their acronym one stands for observant noeedic for vescent, which
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: encapsulates their philosophy and approach to life and songwriting. We
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: have Takeitha, the seasoned, soulful mom and Prana Supreme, the insightful,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: poetic daughter of hip hop legend Riza. Together they are
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: creating country music with a twist. I absolutely love them.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Please welcome to keith the in Prana won the duo.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Welcome lady.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Yay what.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: You like that?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Well, we love you. We didn't listening to your music.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I've been listening to Guilty, and let me tell you something.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I've just been singing it, and I'm gonna tell you what.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I'm a lawyer.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I would acquit you in a minute. You're not guilty.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: He had a comment that guy had it coming something else.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: Ye love it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I just like I'm happy to singing. I'm not kidding.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I've been singing that all ever since I first heard it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not guilty. Maybe I can't sing. I just go out,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: well who you had to tell them?
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: There?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe they'll let me join their band if that's or
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: their their their trio or I guess it wouldn't be
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a trio.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: You have to kick one of your daughters out if
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I joined, but.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I think one would gladly leave.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: So how did this start? How does a mother and daughter?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Because you can see I'm having to proud Julia along
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: here to even consider. So how did this start? Tell
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: us the story? Who wants to who wants to share? Like,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: who's the best telling your story?
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Is it?
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Probably me?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, well let's hear how did this come to be?
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: One the duo?
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: When the duo came to be, which is why I
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: feel like I'm the best to tell the story, was
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: because I asked Mom to do this project with me.
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: I was fourteen at the time, fourteen or fifteen, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: my mom would host these huge jam session parties at
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: her house in Nashville. They call them like pick and plays,
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: but for my mom, these jam sessions would be people
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: would be freestyling, so everything would be off the cuff,
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: you know, you never know what sounds would be made
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: that night, and there'd be rappers and musicians, painters, poets,
• 7:48
  Speaker 8: the whole nine and so growing up, Mom would make
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: sure it was an environment that was still somewhat kid
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: friendly so that I could actually experience this. And she
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: had one which ended up being like one of her
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: last big ones in California.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: We were living in Long Beach at the.
• 8:05
  Speaker 8: Time, and per usual, Mom and I would always end
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: up freestyling something together. And it was the morning after
• 8:15
  Speaker 8: that night where I just was overcome with the feeling
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: of like, we should do this all the time, and
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: we should do this professionally, we should sing and write
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: our own songs. And so I come to Mom with
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: this idea. And mind you, we're not mourning.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: People till this day at all.
• 8:33
  Speaker 8: We honestly have like a strict rule that we do
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: not talk to each other before noon if we can
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: help it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and it should try that. I mean, I
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: was like, I'm into that.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I was like, damn, okay.
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: You know, and so, but I threw caution to the wind.
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: I was like, I have to.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: Talk to her right now. I don't care what time
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: it is.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Keep thirty in the morning, you guys too, Like in
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry to interject, but it literally was pretty pretty
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: early from a jam session night.
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: I mean you know, yeah, I mean, y'all were they
• 9:08
  Speaker 8: were basically up till the sun came up. And this
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: is probably like maybe ten am sometime before noon.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know. I mean, when you went to bed
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: at like five am.
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: Ten am feels pretty early, and so anywhoy I come
• 9:25
  Speaker 8: to Mom with this idea, onto which she immediately says no.
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: She says no, why, And I was devastated by that reaction.
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: I threw a full blown temper tantrum. Not a proud
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: moment as a poor two year old have a tantrum,
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: but I just felt so strongly that like I was
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: giving her a million dollar idea that she didn't even
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: take a moment to think about. And after some time,
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: I really once I calmed down, and Mom asked me
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: some more questions of like, okay, well, why do you
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: want to do this? And I explained to her that
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: even at fourteen, my parents had given me such a
• 10:09
  Speaker 8: honest account of what being in the entertainment industry is like,
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: and I feel like I didn't really have much naivete
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: about what it took to be in the industry or
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: kind of the vultures that can be in this industry,
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: and I knew.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: Mom would protect me from that.
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: And also, I've been calling my mom my best friend
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: since I was ten years old, and I felt like,
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: especially at fourteen, you want to hang out with your
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: best friend all day.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: So it was like, what what if we made music.
• 10:37
  Speaker 8: All day and hung out all day? And Mom was like,
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: these are pretty good points.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we were playing at her heart strings.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: That's what I really did take that too, because you
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: know it like to just go back to her saying
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: she had a temper chance room. You guys have to understand,
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: this is not a young person then or the young
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: adult she is now who has tantrum. She's very even
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: he can articulate her feelings very well. Like so, so
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: her storming out of the living room, slamming both doors
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: that lead to her her bedroom, like I had to
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: kind of like follow after her, like wait, hold on,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: are you slamming doors?
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: What is going on?
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, pounding on the bed. It was a scene.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: It was a scene, okay.
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: Said It was in the drama zone for.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: Sure, And so I really kind of had to gather
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: her together and really sit with her, like, hey, hold on,
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: my bad, I did not mean to say no, so
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: quickly tell me more about this. And it was like
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: even more than just the heart strings. It was it
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: was like she had been thinking about it somehow, you
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: know what I mean. It was stuck in her subconscious
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: in some way. And again, she had been doing these
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: jam sessions with me since she was two years old.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: You know, I have footage of her with my band
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: in New York, like singing the craziest high Seed no where.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: Everybody's like, oh, that's that note, you know, things like that,
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: And so it definitely kind of opened me up to
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: understand like, well, you know, the least I can do
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: one is hear her out, and secondly, really set the
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: stage for her to understand that what I do for
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: a living, what her father does for a living is
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: very different from the relationship she has with us as
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: parent to child. At that point, even even then, it
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: was she travels with us and has to go, you know,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: be backstage or has somebody to take her to the
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: museums when we're city to city or country to country.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: But do you know about the four am lobby call
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: and then he's in the in the sprinter, do you know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: do you really want.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: To do that?
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: That just on a technical side, and then on an
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: emotional personal side, I didn't want to risk losing the
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: relationship that Prana and I had built over over the
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: time from her childhood up into her teens and we
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: had we hadn't had any of that weird kind of
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: teen slash mom, you know, headbutting, and so we're just
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: very communicative family anyhow, And I was very concerned that
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: she was going to see who I am when I'm working.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: Who I am when I'm working is not the happy,
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: go lucky, come on girl, Oh we're having a bad day,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: let's talk about it. It's like, no, you're having a
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: bad day and we're at work. Get over it, you know.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, two different sides completely.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I'm impressed with your skills as a mother, because on
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: three hours of sleep with a kid asking that question
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and throwing a massive fit, I have a feeling that
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I know what I would have done, It would not
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: have ended up with us being a duo and singing together.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So I'm impressed that you then took the time you
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: really you cherished that friendship that you really undertand all
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: that you had with her.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: That's great. Well, how long did it take.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: From that moment to it becoming a reality where now
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you're performing and singing together and writing music together.
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well we you know, from the time that she
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: kind of introduced the idea, it was twenty fifteen, and
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: I want to say twenty fourteen. Twenty fifteen, we made
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: a trip to Nashville to just kind of soak.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: The scene up and see what was going on.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: I put her through a series of kind of developmental
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: challenges essentially, like you know, a prerequisite of her of
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: us even doing the project. She had to keep her
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: GPA at three point eight or higher. She had to
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: stay committed to the extracurriculars that she already had. She
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: was in all ap classes at school at the time.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: She was a sophomore in high school. So we had
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: a year of me kind of just running a little
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: pattern with her to see what she was capable of
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: and what kind of pressure she could take at that point.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: And so June, I want to say, of twenty fifteen,
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: so it would have been twenty fourteen. For on a
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: June twenty fifteen, we made a trip to Nashville just
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: for a week for like hanging out. I think I
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: had a show in Chicago, and from Chicago we came
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: down to Nashville and spent a week here. Did a
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: writing session with Alicia Hoffman and Rebecca Lynn Howard, who
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: are famously known in the country your music space, fabulous songwriters.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: We had a writing session with them and a producer
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: named bar Nunn, who was my only connect here in
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: Nashville at the time, and kind of made our mind
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: up then that Okay, we'll give it a little more time.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: In twenty sixteen, we came and made the move here
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: officially and started working kind of pseudo working on the
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: project then in twenty sixteen. So it's been like ten years,
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: you know, from conception to you know, execution.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean every day seems like it would
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: be like it's a grind every day. I mean, even
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: though you've been doing it and working on it since
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, you always have to wake up and this
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: type of business. You know, my daughter's trying to be
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: an actress in LA. It's a grind. So a couple things.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I would love to hear who your inspiration is like
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: and then also tell us about the name. It is
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: so cool and what a way to describe yourself. So
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: tell everybody what it stands for.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: When we confess, we had to look up, but one
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: of the worst meant and we consider ourselves.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Monica did better on the SAT than I did. Yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: so let's hear it. Tell us the inspiration, and tell
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: us about the name.
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: Okay, I'll start with the name because the inspirations will
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: be faster. But basically, uh, people always would. People will
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: call Mom and I pro Keitha, which is our names
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: put together when we were specifically in sync, and especially
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: as I've gotten older, people always mistake my voice for
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: my mom's voice, and so we're like, oh, it's like
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: we're one voice. And so it started from being like
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: we're like one and then Mom, of course wanted to
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: interject some more intention into it. I think our family
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: is just very everything has to be intentional, like nothing
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: is by accident if we can help it.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: That's very female. Yeah, very intentional.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: So go ahead exactly.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: And so Mom was like, well, let's make it an
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: acronym and have it like represent our approach to life
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: and our approach to songwriting. And so it really came
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: about so naturally just observant, noedic, effervescent, and we always
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: you know, are saying to like do the knowledge to
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: a situation. So like make sure before you're speaking, you're observing,
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: before you're acting, you're observing. You need to have that
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: beat before you do something. Then noetic is uh in
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: relation to mental activity. You gotta use your brain, you
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: gotta be thinking. And then effervescence is that bubbly factor
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: of just like we love life and we love doing
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: this together and wanting to approach things with like radical optimism.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it's the.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Glow that's great.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: And yeah, no eedic was the one we had to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: look up and of course it had to do with
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: our brain.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what we didn't know. I was like, no,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: that's very cool that you that you did that. So
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: and who's your inspiration? Like where does this? Where does
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: your music derived from? Yeah?
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: What who do you love the most that you're like, Oh.
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: Man, I feel like it's tough. Mom and I both
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: have different inspirations, which I think greatly influences how we
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: approach one the duo, I would say for me, it's.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: Like Stevie Nick and girl Lina del Rey and.
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: Who's Who's Who's my other people that I'm always I
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: love Casey Musgraves, Oh yeah, yeah, big ginormous way.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: Stevie Wonder also my my also my favorite band since
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: I was five.
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: Part of me I'm getting over Cold has been earth
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: Wind and Fire, and although our music does not sound
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: because of your mom like yeah, no action, Oh okay,
• 18:49
  Speaker 8: my grandma No, my mom was a hip hop head
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: through and through hip hop and rock music ould our household.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: When I was with my grandma, though, the first time
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: I heard earth Wind, I was like, that is the
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: best things I've ever happened to music. I don't care
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: what anyone says. And in terms of like my approach
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: to like stage presence and just really like live instrumentation,
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: earth Wind and Fire are big in spring.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Oh good choices love? Yeah, Mom, what about takeith though,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: let's hear let's.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Use your for me?
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Well, I was gonna say Fleetwood Max, So we're we're
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: on the same page there with a Stevie and so
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: on and Stevie as well. Because of my hip hop
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: background and upbringing, I have to throw to Slick Ricks
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: as one of my all time favorites and has inspired
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: me as a songwriter in a great way. And what's interesting,
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: I proma I'm gonna have her to speak to this
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: in a little bit. But you know, the connection between
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: hip hop and country music is so much closer than
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: people actually believe. And I'm not talking about sonically, I'm
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: talking about the culture of these songs, songwriting and storytelling genres.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: You know, they're more like cousins than than than separate.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: So slick rick for me. Let's see who else? Hmm,
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Oh the Eagles of course, Eagles.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: Journey, well your dad rock bands.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when you say country music with a twist, I
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: know country music has had such an evolution. I actually
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a thousand years ago, I practiced immigration law and I
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: had to get the visa for Neil McCoy's lead guitarist,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: who actually was from Niagara Falls, like literally across the
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: road from the He barely missed just stepping right on in.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: But but I put in the application country and Western
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: and they laughed their heads off there Like Monica Western
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: went out with Roy Rogers, had this huge evolution, So
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: you're helping it evolve more. So what's the twist you
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: all are trying to add in your Where does that
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: come from? What is what does that mean?
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Exactly?
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 21:00
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think the twist for us comes from adding
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: those elements of hip hop and adding those elements of jazz.
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: I think country and pop already have a very solid relationship,
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: so that's not very surprising. Yeah, but it's the hip
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: hop and jazz elements for us that we wanted to
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: incorporate really honestly into country music. I think country is
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: a genre that's also very traditional, like they take. It's
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: very interesting because when you look at pop and you
• 21:30
  Speaker 8: look at hip hop and even rock music, they have
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: had like an even deeper evolution than where their genre started.
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: And country, on the other hand, feels like because they
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: hold on to like, no, this is real country, it
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: takes a little bit longer for them to like ben
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: that rule. And so when we started making country music,
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: we were approaching it with like, Okay, let's work with
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: veterans in the field who really know the formula quote
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: unquote of country music. So then we can add the
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: fact that mom comes from hip hop music. And then
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: we grew up listening to so much jazz and rock
• 22:07
  Speaker 8: music that we can add that element of being like,
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: all right, but put this electric guitar like this here,
• 22:12
  Speaker 8: and like on one of our songs, we have like
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: a setar on it. You know, we're just doing whatever
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: crazy stuff we can while still keeping that foundation of
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: country music.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: And I think it's cool that you all are doing
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: that and that you actually performed on the stage at
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: the Grand ole Opry, which is if there's ever traditional
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: sort of country.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: They got to stand p Yeah, what did that feel like?
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: That was? You know, every time we do an interview
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: and that's brought up, it's almost I get like a
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: weird chill in my body of just it's like I'm
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: right back at that moment of standing in the circle.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: And not only that, we were there as the first
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: black mother daughter duo to ever stand foot on that
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: stage perform, and so we had our They did a
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: big uh.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: What would you call it?
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Krana like basically like a taping of our first time
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: coming and they aired on their channel and we did
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: the radio pressing all around it and our our intro
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: was coming right before Tricia Yearwood and Whyona Judd. And
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: at the time we had just featured on a Judge
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: tribute album performing what's the song Krana?
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: We did?
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: We did?
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: We did two songs that day. I had a dream,
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: I had a dream. I had a dream, had a
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: dream with Wendy Moten and won the duos as a
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: duet collaboration. And to be there to meet Winona Judd,
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: to stand on that stage was something I one could
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: not have imagined to have happened, ever, and shout out
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: to Jackie Marushkar publicist for making that happen, because you know,
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: these are things that takes years for people to get
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: into position and to get the notorieting. Our team had
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: done a really great job of like pushing us in
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: the market for that entire year, and so to have
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: our debut is something that I will never forget. And
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: like even just getting dressed for it, and you know,
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: making our way backstage and seeing all the rooms and
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: they put us in. They have the rooms backstage that
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: are themed basically, and so they put us in like
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: a women of country, you know. And it's honestly one
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: of my favorite life experiences with my daughter.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: It really is uplifting. I mean, obviously we've established I'm
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: not a singer, but I did do that tour last year,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: and I know the rooms that you're talking about, and
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I stood in the circle and I was hoping that
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the talent would wash over me. Couldn't happen. But the
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: fact that you guys got to sing there is incredible.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's they let people who go on to
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: tour busts stand in the circle that's not right, well,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: place of great honor, I.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Mean I'm saying that. So for as a mom of
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: two daughters, I would like to know how you guys
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: manage each other your business, Like you're both strong personalities.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: You have to be in this business, right and then
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: like who says what? And how do you guide each
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: other when it comes to the business side, and then
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: how do you decompress for the personal side.
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: The benefit to our strong personalities is that they are
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: pretty complimentary to each other. I feel like we're strong
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: in different sections, so like the things that overlap are
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: great because when it comes to our business stuff, I
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: feel like we are always on the same page. You
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: have to communicate a lot, even more than you would
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: just as a normal mother and daughter because business is
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: tied together. So it's like there is you know, there's
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: more responsibilities obviously, so like there are moments where mom
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: has to truly treat me like a business partner as
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: opposed to like her daughter. So it's like if I
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: want to go to the movies at least when I
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: was younger, and I want to go to the movies,
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: it's be like a business partner. But we have this
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: this and this to do, and like those three hours
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: at the movie, we actually need to prep and there
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: has to be an understanding too of like their sacrifice
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: on each of our sides, and there's so much respect
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: for what each of us are putting into the project.
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: I think are our main thing of why this works
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: is the communication, Like you have to be able to
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: say when something isn't exactly how you want or if
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: you have another idea, and I think mom really not.
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: I think Mom does provide a wonderful platform for me
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: to say how I feel with no judgment, and I
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: think that can be the difference between other mother daughter
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: relationships is that it can be so I'm the parent
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: and you're the child, which means don't tell me nothing,
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: And that just can't work if you're doing business together
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: like I'm not. I'm not here to be told what
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: to do by my mom, and Mom's not here to
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: be told what to do by me, like we're here
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: to work together.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with that. You know what I would
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: also add to that is communication where the communication is key.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: Respect within the communication is the anchor, right, So I
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: have I have an uncanny respect for this young woman,
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: right even at seven eight nine, twelve thirteen, seventeen years old,
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: understanding where she is developmentally, what is appropriate for her,
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: to understand what she can and cannot take. Because I'm
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: paying very close attention to her without trying to put
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: on to her something that I think she should or
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: want her to or dot dot dot, I have an
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: unusual understanding of when she's not feeling something or when
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: she actually does have to be pushed on the mother's
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: side or have to go well, hold on, now, what
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: you're saying is kind of not making sense, Like let's
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: really think about this, And you had said something earlier
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: about like sometimes I got to pull the mom card
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: and be like, well, I said so, and sometimes it
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: is that you know where, But then she'll understand that
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: as well. Like We've had many conversations where it's the
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: equivalent of you telling the child at five, Hey, sometimes
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna tell you exactly why I'm telling you
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: to stop. I don't chase the ball into the street.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: That's all you need to know. That's all you need
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: to know right now, and we can talk about it later.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: And so we have to have, you know, in our business,
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: we had to have a very firm understanding of you know,
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: like one of our rules from the very beginning, before
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: we even started taking meetings or did our partnership with
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: you know, our group now, I said, don't ever disagree
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: with me in public, and I will ever disagree with
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: you period. We cannot give anybody any idea that we're
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: not on a united front. And if I say something
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: that's that hits you wrong or something, and vice versa,
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: we'll let it ride.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: We get in the car.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: We get in the house, Hey, I didn't like this.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: This is actually what you said was not accurate. It's this,
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: And when we come back to the next meeting, I'll
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: be sure to address whatever I said, and you'll have
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: to be responsible to do the same. We have to
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: hold ourselves accountable first and then hold each other accountable.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: And to Prana's point, we have a relationship and a
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: history of doing that for so many years now that
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: it's kind of like knee jerk. But we still have
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: regular mother daughter stuff. You know what I'm saying. It
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: happens often and always, and it will because we are
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: two different people.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just so impressed. I mean, I think I've just
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: met you and listening to this, like to Keith is
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: just like a model mom, like she handles things so well,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: and Parana listening to her like I would like to
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: adopt her daughter.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: They would be pro absolutely well.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: We have some women who would also like to ask
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: you questions and they are zoomer moms. So welcome zoomer moms.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the mom's club. Let's jump into it. Okay,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: welcome zoomer moms. Lauren, welcome to the mom's Club. Tell
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: us a little bit about yourself and do you have
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: a question for to Keith and Prana.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: Hi, guys, I and my name is Lauren and I
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: am from Shreemport, Louisiana, but I grew up in Los
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: Angeles and I live in Miami now. I actually lived
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: in Nashville for five years and I moved from la
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: to Nashville too, and it was such a big change,
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: but it was such an amazing change because everyone was
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: so welcoming and nice and just fabulous in the creative community.
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: So I really love talking to you guys, and you're
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: very inspiring, so thank you for that.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: One question that I had was mother daughter duos. Musical
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: duos are so there's such a rare thing these days,
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: and I wanted to know what shaped your sound as
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: a mother.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: That's a really good question.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: I think it kind of goes back to the Prano
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: will have her own assessment, but I think it kind
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: of goes back to our inspiration and the things that
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: we already kind of are drawing from from from our
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: experience of music, our connection to music. But when we
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: created the project, we weren't anticipating or trying to make
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: country music. That really wasn't it at all. We were
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: looking to create a unique sound that was true to
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: our natural voices when we're just singing a cappella or
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: with guitar accompaniment or piano accompaniment. And I was very
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: interested in making sure that the sound wasn't a derivative
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: of hip hop, directly because of my history and because
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: of who her father is. I needed something that was
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: gonna really set us apart and create our own, natural, organic,
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: authentic sound. And I wanted it stripped down, and you know,
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: I definitely wanted a fiddle, and I wanted, you know,
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: a banjo, a lot of string instruments and African percussion
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: and things like that. But I was never trying to
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: make country and I don't think Prona was either it
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: was just something that now what naturally happened. We were
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: calling it folk for a while and then we were
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: like okay. Then Nashville said no, it's Americana, and then
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: other folks in Natal said no, it's country. So you
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: know that's kind of my take on it.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: Pete No, I mean well said.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Brittany, welcome to the Mom's Club.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Tell us a little bit about yourself and do you
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: have a question.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, hi ladies, Hi, Hello, my name is Brittany. I
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: am actually a transplant here in Texas. It's from California.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: I love that for you.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Welcome, I yues.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, I know most a lot of you already said
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: your transplants of the South. And one thing I will
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: tell you is I am loving country music even more
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: so before this. I definitely like listen to you girls
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: as music, and you know, definitely inspired because I'm starting
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: to get into some of the artists that some of
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: you girls have brought up and I'm like, wow, like
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: because I come from a background of music too as well,
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: like the STEVIEE Wonders and.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: And as well as Earth Wind and Fire.
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: So yes girl, all that hey, yes, from my grandma,
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: So I can definitely relate to that. Uh, this question
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: is actually for it's Priina right Preina Krana's part of
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Mekrana has a black like woman, especially young woman in
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: country music. Of visibility, especially on social media, you know,
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: comes with a lot of expectations. And I know that
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: you're entering into this world of being a young woman
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: of your of yourself. But how do you stay in
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: control of your narrative for you as you're growing into
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: become in this woman personally without feeling like pressured over
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: share yourself online? Because I know that it could be
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: a lot of pressure, especially for me, I know, being
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: you know, online and having to separate my personal from business.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: How do you.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: Throw that narrative for yourself as a young woman growing
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: into this.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: That's a great question, That's a really great question. I am.
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: I really do not love social media, and so I
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: think my strong personality has forced me to make sure
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: I have a really strong what's the word I'm looking
• 34:32
  Speaker 8: for boundaries about that, And so I think for me,
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: I have to understand that it's it's my career and
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: it's my life.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: And although there is definitely.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: Outside pressure of like the label will tell you need
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: to do this, and then people in comments will say
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: you should be doing that. But at the end of
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: the day, it's like, it is my life and I
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: have to feel comfortable with what I'm doing. And my
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: approach to it really is like can I go to
• 35:03
  Speaker 8: sleep at night feeling like I've represented myself honestly? And
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: I think when you're in the public eye, there's also
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: a lot of pressure of like whether you want to
• 35:12
  Speaker 8: be or not, you are a role model in some sense,
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: and so I feel like I just approach it really honestly.
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: I'm messy and flawed and so so many things, you know,
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: humans are so many things that I just try to
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: be like, if I'm having a great day, I'm being
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: honest about that online if I'm not. Even sometimes on
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: our Instagram, I'll post things of being like, hey, we're
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: not going to be on social media this week because
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: I need to be like in the real world, because
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: that's the other part. I think when you spend so
• 35:43
  Speaker 8: much time on social media, it bleeds over into real life.
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: You start to feel a little disconnected from what is
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: real and what isn't, and I think people's perception of
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: you can start to.
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: Feel like reality.
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: And I think that's also the part that helps me
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: is I'm like what they say on social media is curated.
• 36:03
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: It is truly a small, curated window to what I'm
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: like as a person. So if someone thinks I'm this,
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: or someone thinks I'm that, I'm like, they only have
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: this tiny little scope anyway, So like, no pressure, because
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: that's only a small, small, small part of me.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna jump in. Do you read comments?
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: Not really? Yeah? Yeah, not really.
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: I find I read comments once one of our videos
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: had blown up on TikTok.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, mom's laughing, so do tell the story.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: There were some hilarious because some of the comments were like,
• 36:40
  Speaker 8: which I thought these were sweet and also so funny,
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: But a lot of the comments actually were like love
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: this song.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: This isn't country music, though.
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: I'm like, oh, that's like a weird thing to add.
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: And then other people the outfit.
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: I was wearing in this video.
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: They were like, which, honestly, I was being really lazy
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: when I got dressed that day and they called me
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: out on it. But there were some comments that being like,
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: oh I love the song, these girls are so cute.
• 37:09
  Speaker 8: The girl needs a stylist though, and that as someone
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: like prides themself on being fashionable, I was like, yeah, devastated.
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: And you know what, though I was being lazy that day,
• 37:22
  Speaker 8: I was wearing like a pink and green striped sweater
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: and then a black and white polka dot skirt and
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: then red Mary Jane's is.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: That you just called yourself out?
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Like I know that went viral myself and the best
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: thing that someone told me is respond in the comments
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: to keep the engagement going. But hey, I would have
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: been like, listen, you know it's my style, my fash
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: what would you have recommended.
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: Ended?
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Let's let's go for the outfit for outfit.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: Yours.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: I'll show you five of mine.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Let's what's really scary on TikTok at the bottom is
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: where they tell you these comments have been folded to
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: protect your mental health.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I don't even I don't open that.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I don't even dare open them because but yeah, I
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: hear you totally prominent because our social media people, I mean,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: they help us. You know, I do these funny, silly
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: videos they can I ended up hopping on a hoppity
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: hop and I.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Have to live with that the rest of the life.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: That's rough, and that's how you take it as a joke,
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: like you should engage in it. It's I think it's
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: funny when people comment and it's like like that you should.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: You could take it as a take it and run
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: with it.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like the thing that.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: Happened with the doctor Pepper girl just recently. You know, Yes,
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: it as a joke and then all of a sudden,
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: you know, it became a thing.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's true.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Roxy, Welcome to the Mom's Club.
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: I love when you sing the list and the music
• 39:01
  Speaker 9: because it seems to go with most of the genre
• 39:03
  Speaker 9: of people that love country and western and rap and
• 39:06
  Speaker 9: hip hop.
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: But I want to know as a psychologist, when you're
• 39:10
  Speaker 10: not getting along and you have a great synergy, but
• 39:14
  Speaker 10: sometimes as mother and daughters, we butt heads. When you're
• 39:16
  Speaker 10: not getting along, how do you work through and navigate
• 39:21
  Speaker 10: when you're angry as hell at each other? How do
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: you navigate to the other side to get to where
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: you want to perform and give the best show you
• 39:32
  Speaker 10: can possibly give to the audience.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: That's a great They have an outfit and a sing off.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: That's great, hilarious.
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: No, I have a shot of tequila.
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: And then then I let it all wash away and
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: we hug it out.
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: Then part is I feel like mom and I Mam
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: and I notoriously get over arguments very fast.
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: Also, like we will be going at it.
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: And then and then when it's over, then we'll be like,
• 40:10
  Speaker 8: in like an hour, we'll be like, do you.
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: Want to go get food or something? You know?
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: But no, that's a great question because uh, in the
• 40:20
  Speaker 8: times that that has been the case, where it's just
• 40:22
  Speaker 8: been like we were butting heads about something or I
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: think on show days especially, things can be so chaotic
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: that it's easy to get irritable. Honestly, being on stage,
• 40:34
  Speaker 8: you kind of just gotta lock in.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: Here's the thing, before we even get on stage, we
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: pray before we go on stage. With the band we have,
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: like our main band we were, they're always with us,
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: and generally we're all like cousins to each other.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: Like siblings and cousins.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: So they see us kind of going back and forth
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: and stuff. I mean, there's always one who starts laughing
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: because everybody thinks when we're arguing that it's the funniest
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: thing they've ever seen. Because our style of arguing is
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: not bickering our style of arguing is we sound how
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: we sound right now basically, except we're arguing, and everybody's like, wait,
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: what's going on? Is but are y'all arguing right now?
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: Is that?
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: I think I.
• 41:13
  Speaker 8: Think they also find it funny because of Mom and
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: I's like reactions and then like the vocabulary we use
• 41:19
  Speaker 8: because Mom and I call each other girl a lot.
• 41:22
  Speaker 8: Some people think I'm on the phone with my mom.
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: They think I'm talking to my Sister's like girl, what, No,
• 41:27
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't And when we have arguments, will be like, girl,
• 41:31
  Speaker 8: you're not even listening to.
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: Me right now.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm notorious for on show, So Prana, if you
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: can't tell, like I said earlier, it's very even very
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: you know, she can read the comments because she's not tripping.
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: I cannot read the comments period. Everything personal. I'm ready
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: to fight. So the show. So she tends to like
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: on a show day, she's blowing around the house like,
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: hey girl, you know the makeup artist is there and
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: she's got her tea or whatever, and I'm like, already,
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: you know, I probably have had three meetings already. I'm
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: still dealing with the executives. I'm doing all the things,
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: and so I get frazzled until it's like time to
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: set our foot on the stage. So she, in my defense,
• 42:13
  Speaker 5: she actually is the one who kind of brings the
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: energy down. So we are bickering, she kind of is
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: like girl everything you know.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: It's really humbling as a mom is that when the
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: child is directing you or brings you ground to ground zero.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: And and I find that happens a lot to me.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean my but I can say, like,
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: you guys are amazing because when you tell me Tita
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: that you actually you're like, all right, I need to
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: hear you out. And I think that's that that's half
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: the battle. And then they teach you something and they
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: keep you grounded and you I can see this in
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: your relationship and it's it's absolutely truly amazing.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I think you I know you all are very busy
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: making music, but you all need to contact masterclass and
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: maybe you need to teach a class on mother daughter relationships.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: I think that would be a big hit. Write a
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: book about it. Oh my gosh, you should do yeah,
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: because I think you've got the right balance. Yeah, you've
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: got it figured out.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of mothers out there who probably
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: wouldn't know.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: I think I'm amazing. I'm just gonna say it.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you are amazing.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: I don't want to put you guys on the spot,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: but you want to sing a couple of lines?
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's you don't have to Hey from guilty
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: you think you know what I mean?
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Can't we do that on it at all?
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: That might be a little challenging. Okay, well screen if
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: we were together in the same.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's true. Yeah, you're asking to do it, to
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: sing from different rooms together.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a good way for them everyone to
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: now go to your Instagram and get to hear you guys.
• 44:10
