  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of like it's surreal, you
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, Like you said, coming from the
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: apartment and stuff, And I always knew we had a
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: vision of what we wanted to do, but honestly, to
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: have the opportunity to do a show that has like
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: kind of honestly nothing to do with poor minds.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: You know, every time we.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: See podcasters get a show, which is still a hard
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: feat to do, it's always like a branch off of
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: the podcast that they have. So the fact that they
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: trusted us with such a huge project that has absolutely
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: nothing to do with potty is like crazy.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: So talk about all right, So for the audience that
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: may not be totally familiar, let's go through the journey.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: So you guys are friends from Texas, and then you
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: started a show, right, poor Minds.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Then you got with the eighty five South crew and
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: that kind of.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Just expanded the reach right right, and you guys talk
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: about all kinds of different topics that are relevant to women. Yeah, right,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: And you've built a tremendous fan base and you've reached
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: a point where you start to take on things outside
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: of the normal with people might normally think.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Of you off. So how does a travel show for
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: BT come into place?
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: Okay, So basically one of our friends, she actually does
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: a lot of contract work with BT, and the production company,
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: Cocoa Butter, had been reaching out to us telling us
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: that they wanted us to They wanted to consider us
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: for a travel show. So it was like us and
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: maybe like two other busy bring groups that we're considering.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: So we had the audition for it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: We did the audition maybe a week later or two
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: weeks later, we found out that we got it, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: then we ended up starting I think we started recording
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: with a month after that, and we recorded the whole
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: show in two weeks. So the production company reached out
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: to us and then we started getting in communication with
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: them and BT.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, how does that feel to do something that's
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: so you know, ess interesting, Like people watch you on
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: your show, right and they think that's all you are? Right,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: But y'all been friends for a long time, y'all been
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: traveling for a long time. How does it feel to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: show people another side of what who Drea and Lex
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: really are.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: It's really cool because, like she said, it was kind
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: of like they auditioned other people, but they were like,
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: we really wanted y'all, Like we see the chemistry that
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: y'all have on Poor Minds, and I think with we have,
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: I like to call Poor Minds like a lifestyle podcast
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: because we talk about so much. And but I mean,
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: y'all know how it is when you're in the podcasting world.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: People tend to look at you like a one trick pony,
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: Like Okay, they're good at the gender wars stuff and
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: they can talk about sex or they can talk about music,
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: but that's all they can do. So, like I said,
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: the fact that they were like, oh, they be outside,
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Like we travel for real, for real, Like we've been
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: so many places together, Like we went to London last
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: year and we were working out there. We went out
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: there for like a week and a half, and I
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: mean we've been to Turks together. We've been to Jamaica
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: like Viza a Iza, Like we really be traveling together.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: So it's like it was cool to know that they
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: really kind of did their research on us because they're like, Okay,
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: they're perfect. They're best friends and they travel and I
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: think me and Dre are so like layered.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: There's so much to us.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: It really we really really like that.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: I think that a lot of times they see us
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: and they just think, oh, that's all they can do.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: So the fact that you can literally because obviously my
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: nephews can't watch four months, that they can watch Travel Queens. Yeah,
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: So I love the fact that, like my nephews can
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: watch me now you know what I'm saying, Younger girls
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: like high school can watch Travel Queens and they can
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: be motivated and you know, see the possibilities of what
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: you can do in this space. Yeah, and I think
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: it just gives more insights to our real life friendship too,
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: because the cameras are there, but we're really just being
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: ourselves versus one poor minds. I mean, we're being ourselves
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: on there as well, but these are topics that we've
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: already planned to talk about. It's just more structured, I
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: feel like, versus a reality TV show. It's like, no,
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: we just being ourselves and the cameras are following this around.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: So how many how many cities are you going to?
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Like is it like a ten episode thing?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: How has that worked out?
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: So this first season actually was four episodes. So we
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: went to Cardaina, we went to Mexico City, Charleston, and
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: then we went to KEYWZ. And so hopefully fingers crossed
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: we get a second season. It's probably gonna be like
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: ten twelve episodes.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so it's you know, how the pilots like, let's
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: see if y'all really got a fan base. But I
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: think it's doing pretty well, Like we haven't engaging with
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: our audience and stuff, and the feedback has been amazing. Like,
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: I was really nervous because I didn't know how they
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: were gonna edit it, because honestly, we are watching it
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: on Wednesdays with them, like we haven't seen like when
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: we were on the flight out here, we were on
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: the plane watching it.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: So I didn't know how they were going to edit it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: Because a lot of times you see a show and
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: you don't like somebody and then they do the reunion
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: or something, they're like, they didn't show this, they didn't
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: show that, But they edited so well, like and really
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: captured our personality.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So how evolved in the process for you guys in
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: terms of naming the show, picking the locations, because even
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I've been pronouncing Carteragina the wrong way the entire time,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing you pronounce it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that's how it's pronounced.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: So so did they have those cities picked out for
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you already or did you guys have.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: A sparta haina?
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: I was on the show saying it Carna Gina is
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Fat Joe's lesson, Yo, car Haina.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: I grow up?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: You listen to Fat Joe. We called it Gina, callagena
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: don Carnagina.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, yeah, yeah, and I'm here. You am like, y'all,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I've been saying it wrong the whole time.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: I'm country, I'll be saying everything wrong. So I was there.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: It was like people in the comments like, dang, y'all
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: could have taught her how to say the word before
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: we went out there, right, I.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Was like, y'all, okay, that makes it authentic.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but yeah, we really weren't involved in the process
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: too much. They already had the cee these picked out
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: and they were just like, Okay, this is where y'all going. Yeah,
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: it was helping for like I said, the second season
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: and upcoming seasons, that we could be more involved in
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: the process because we actually want to do like you know,
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: travel Queens Africa, travel Queens Europe, actually be in different
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: locations each season.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think what's dope about is that each city
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and there's a travel component to it, but there's an
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: educational component, right, And I was watching the Charleston episode
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and it felt like we're learning with the audience, but
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: you y'all learned too, So how was that?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Were you super intentional about that? Did the producers say, like,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: we have this piece, what do you guys think? Like,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: how was that for y'all?
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: Well, these places we've never been, and before the only
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: place that I had been was Key West, so a
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: lot of the stuff.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: They were like, Okay, well, how do y'all feel about this? Well,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: this is what.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: We're doing, And we were really curious, like we had
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: never been to Charleston.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: I didn't know Charleston was like that at all.
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So honestly, they were like, okay, y'all are going
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: to go to the plantation and all the questions that
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: we were asking, like those were questions that we really had.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: So it was kind of like a mixture of both.
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: They would just like throw us in this situation and
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: they were like, Okay, the cameras are rolling, do y'all thing,
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: So they kind of really let us have the creative freedom.
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: When it came to asking questions conversations me and her
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: were having with each other, that was really all us.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: But as far as like the locations and stuff we
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: were doing, it was they picked all the stuff because
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: we probably would have had them in the strip club.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: But I was excited, but I.
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: Wasn't excited because, like she said, she had been to
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: Key West before. I had never even been to Key West.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: I hadn't been to any of those places before. I
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: had been to Columbia, but I went to Medam before
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: night Cardaina.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: So so okay, So how does this work?
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: As far as like the business side, Like, was there
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: certain points that you had to negotiate and dealing with
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: like a major television network, Like it's a lot different
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: than having like an independent type of vibe on a podcast.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: Yeah, this was our first time doing anything with like
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: a major network like this, especially like BT.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: So yeah, it was it was things that we had
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: to work out.
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: But honestly, we are so not like it's a blessing
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: that we're in the position that we make a lot
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: of money with poor minds, so we're able to go
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: in these situations and like be fair we're not like,
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: oh yeah, we're finna run it up, and because we
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: understand it's the first season and it's more so about
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: like the exposure where we can do. I mean, we
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: got paid you know well, of course, but we had
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: our lawyers come in. It worked out amazing, So I
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: think that that's more important in this space. It's like
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: making good connections, being easy to work with because they
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: could have picked anybody from the Travel channel that's been
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: doing stuff like this, so working out those deal points.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, obviously were signed to eighty five, so Chad
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: and the team, Carlos and all them, they've done TV
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: and stuff before, so they had a great lawyer. So
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: it was a really smooth transition because everything happened so quick.
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: So it was like we kind of got the contract,
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: they were like, okay, let's fix this and fix that,
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: and they were really easy with giving us, you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: everything that we wanted. So it was actually a really
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: really smooth transition. Shout out to our lawyer, Josh.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: She didn't.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: So how do you, you said, how do podcasters make money?
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Like you guys have a successful podcast? How did they
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: always wandered that I never really knew how.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Them podcast, make us new comings, this is this is so,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: you know, we gotta.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: Let the people know.
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: So, I mean, we make money a few different ways.
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: We make money obviously from ad revenue. We make money
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: from streams on YouTube. We also have a Patreon. We
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: make money with Patreon. We used to sell merch, but
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: we don't really sell merch as much anymore. But they
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: used to be a stream of income that we had.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: And I'm trying to think of my live shows.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: Live shows, but we haven't toured in like two years.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like hosting events, stuff like do you have products?
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: I have a cosmetics business, but we don't have anything
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: with Poor Minds together currently.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: But we used to sell hoodies and rap team.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: We have like the little wine stoppers and stuff like that,
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Like we really like ramp up, like the merch stuff
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: whenever we were touring.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: Things like that.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: But like she said, those like our main sources of income.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: And we did an e book as well, yeah, cause,
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: I mean we get so many questions of like, oh,
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: how do I start a podcast?
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: What do I need?
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: But it wasn't just like the typical even like okay,
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: get a camera. It was like I was legit giving
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: actual websites that we used. Okay, I want to make
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: some ad revenue. You can sign your podcast up with
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: this audio this source. So I did the course too,
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: so you can actually get the bundle. Like if you're
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: somebody who's more of a visual learner, you could watch
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: the e course or if you know somebody that need
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: to look at a book, we have the Yeah, and
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: then we stepped, like I said, we stepped into the
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: hosting space. We did you know, we did the festival.
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: Festival, we did.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah BT Awards, ET Awards. Yeah, we did the Media
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: House last year. So I think, like I said, when
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: you're getting into podcasting the actual show, you can make
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: a lot of revenue from. But the outside things that
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: you do outside of just sitting on the couch and
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: being in front of the mic is like.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: So it's using your influence to get money from absolutely.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: I mean even now we get money from Facebook, tiktik.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: It's like a lot of stuff. That's what I was
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: forgetting social media places.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: There's a ticket throwing on the streams, y'all just name
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: that's about we're about eleven. Yeah, it's multiple streams is
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: important in the as space.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I know, like when people are starting the podcast.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: That's very important, right, It's probably one of the first
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: sources of income you're going to have based on your topic.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: You guys ever feel limited, right, because there's only sometimes
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: there's only a certain level or a certain category of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: ad client that's looking to put things on your show, right,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Whereas if you have more of a broad based topic,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it leaves it open for a lot more categories. Have
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: you guys ever felt that way when it comes to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the ad spends?
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: No, not really, to be honest, like, I feel like
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: a lot of different companies want to work with us, Like,
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: we never really had that issue, but we do know
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: some people in the podcast in space that have told
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: us that they've had that issue because they may have
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: like a six base podcast, But we've never really had that.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: I Mean sometimes we get ask I'm like, they want
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: to work with us, you'll be the most random so
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: like man, yeah.
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: Like manscaping like all that stuff, Like it'll be like
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: but it works, Like if they renew the contract, I'm like, oh,
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: y'all must be clicking blue Choo And I'm like, do
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: men really watch the show?
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Women are buying it for their men?
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: I don't think y'all will be limited because you're not,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: like you said, you're not a sex based podcast.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: Like we have a segment, but it's not the whole
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: entire show, you know.
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: I think people think that sometimes just because of the
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: clips that are cut from the show be like the
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: six topic. So then before people actually come and watch
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: the show, I think they assume that it's a six man.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or it's a female based show.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Men might not be big watching, but that could actually
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: be the opposite, right, And I.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: Think it's really crazy with these ad companies as well, because,
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: like you said, you just never know what we're gonna
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: get and what people want to work with us, because honestly,
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: being that we're so heavily with the women crowd, we
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: don't get a lot of beauty ads, like a lot
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: like makeup stuff, like hair stuff. We really don't get
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: a lot of stuff like that. We had one fashion
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: company where like you could you know, have like a
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: subscription service.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: To get closed like one time. But most of the
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: stuff is really like food.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Food stuff, mental health.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Mental health stuff stuff like that, you know what I mean.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: So, how have you guys been able to build your
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: community because you got like a loyal fan base, supporters,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: you have a name for them, right, Oh you are
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: so how how cause a lot of people create content,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: but then everybody doesn't have like a community. Yeah, So like,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: what's some of the ways that you've actually been able
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: to cultivate and keep that community together.
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: I feel like one of the major ways, and we
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: always say these, one of the major ways that we've
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: been able to build such a large community is that
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: for the first few years that we started doing pour Minds,
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: we never had guests on the show because we always
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: wanted to make sure we were building a fan base
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: of people who wanted to see us every week. I
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: feel like a lot of the time, when people start
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: off having huge guests on their show weekly, when you
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: don't the week that you don't have a guest, the
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: viewership falls off. So we wanted to make sure we
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: were cultivating a space in a community of people that
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: no matter who we had on the show, they're still
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: gonna watch.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: So I feel like that was a major key.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: And another major one is we talk to our listeners.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: Like everybody acts like they're too good to take twenty
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: thirty minutes and just respond to common you know, talk
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: back to people like I still do that. I engage
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: with my listeners because I just started a new channel
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: YouTube channel called love lex Peak, so I do like
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: hot topics on there, and I'm like, y'all have shag
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: lovelexp so we can talk about it together.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: I think the engagement of feeling like, you know what,
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: Lex Anddrea cool. I can talk to them. If I
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: tweet four minds, they gonna tweet me back. So I
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: think it's like not feeling like you are a celebrity,
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, and really engaging with your
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: audience helps a lot.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: We do that with Travel Queens too.
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: We live tweet every week yeah Twitter, And when Trable
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: Queens is.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: On, I was wondering, right that community that you built
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: it obviously helps when Travel Queens is about the debut
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: and people are supporting it. But when you guys had
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the debut for it, there was just like an overwhelming
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: sense of emotion that I watched for y'all, I was like,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: this is interesting. Talk about what that felt like in
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: that moment to watch yourself on a big screen in
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: your fancy your family there with you.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: That was the first time we watched the episode, and
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: I think like in that moment, it really just kind
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: of like hit me, and I'm like, looking at it,
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: I'm like, we really did that, because even while we
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: were filming, it was like we were working and it did.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: I think in that moment it hit us because honestly,
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: getting the party to the premiere party together, getting ready
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: for everything, finding outfits and just hair, makeup, all this stuff,
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: we didn't really get to sit. So in that moment,
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: I was like, oh my gosh, like we really have
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: a TV show.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: You was boo. Yeah, she was holding together.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: I was trying.
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: But honestly, I feel like it hit me at that
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: moment as well, because when we were filming the show,
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: I definitely felt like, oh my god, we're about to
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: have a TV show. But that day, all of our
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: friends being prison, all of our family being present, seeing
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: it on the big screen at the Venu, I was
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: just like wow, because.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: We didn't know how it was gonna look. I didn't
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: know it was gonna look.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: Like a little tobleg. We didn't know what it was
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: gonna look like. And I'm like, oh, they got us
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: looking real.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Now, you know what I'm saying. I was looking like, yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: You so they said, like the food spots were done
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: really tastes really yeah, And I think I like the
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: balance between like, yes, you can go to a five
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: star restaurant, but it's the local spots sometimes that you
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: got to check when you travel. So there's a fine
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: balance between the luxury span in the everyday spend yep.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Do you guys are like, as you're going through it
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and you're filming a show, are you realizing how this
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: is going to impact travel for girls that look like y'all?
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: Honestly that And while we were doing it, I was
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: like yeah, because I was realizing, I'm like, why we
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: ain't never here? Like when we went to Mexico City,
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: I'm like, girl, why we ain't never came?
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: And here far?
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: It's like a two hour flight from Atlanta.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: Right, And then it's like there's such a large xpact
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: community of black people out there. So I'm like, I
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: know that we didn't know this, So I know the
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: people watching the show didn't know this. I mean people
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: have already been tweeting us like, oh my gosh, I
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: want to go to Mexico City. I want to go
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: to Charleston. You know what I'm saying, so definitely one
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: hundred percent, because I feel like we don't travel enough.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, We don't get out of
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: our comfort zone because a lot of times, especially as
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: women Black women, we're afraid because we don't know what's
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: safe for us and what it's not. So I think
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: showing people the different side of these cities and like
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: you can go and have a good time. Where do
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: you want to do a vacation or a girl trip?
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: Like you got to make it out the group chat
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: and it's affordable. Like a lot of the stuff that
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: we did. It wasn't like you spending three bands a
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: night and stuff. It was just like you know, going
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: to an R and B night in Mexico City. You
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, Like all black RMB R and
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: B night, Like you can do that in your city,
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: but why not go do it in Mexico City.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So, like all right, black women are make up
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: a lot of travelers. There's a whole there's groups that's
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: dedicated for travel for Black women, travel Noir, all that
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: type stuff.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Dubai.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: I know they put a major emphasis in targeting black women.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: So I'm assuming this is all related to like why
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: BT wanted to have you guys, because there's a lot
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: of black women that already travel, right, So, Okay, do
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: you feel that this highlights with is a already being
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: done as far as black women traveling, or do you
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: feel like this could potentially open people's ideas of who
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: travelers are because sometimes even though black women travel a lot,
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: they may not be looked at as like a typical tourist. Right, So, like,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: do you have that level of thought process when you're
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: traveling to these different countries that you're actually like representing
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: a whole group of people.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: I'll go ahead, and now I was just gonna say
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: for sure, I definitely think it's gonna open people's eyes
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: to the fact that black women are traveling a lot.
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: And then, like you said, it can be budget friendly
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: because I think sometimes, especially people looking at it, it's
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: probably y'all too. When y'all travel, like they're assuming, oh, hey,
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: they make money. It's probably gonna be really expensive the
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: things that they're gonna be doing on vacation. But we
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: were showing it could be a good balance, like yeah, Okay,
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: we gonna do the luxury stuff, we gonna have a
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: little fund speed a little money, but we can also
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: go to these five star Michelin tacos.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: Then that's three dollars.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: And then another aspect of the show is it's you know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: she's doing like the leisure stuff I'm doing, like the
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: adventurous stuff. So whatever type of travel you are, even
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: if you want to see the educational stuff that's been
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: there too, it's something for everybody. But I do think
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: that it is like you said, it's a lot of
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: black women who travel, but it's a lot who don't
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, But it's an audience that
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: has not been served. There's no travel show out there
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: for black women, Taylor, and I won't even just say
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: black women, I'll just say black people in general. Like
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: this is tailored for the black traveler.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: So I don't know. I think it has a different element,
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: but like like we were.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: Talking about earlier, it kind of has that like simp
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: y'all remember the show The Simple Life when there, So
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: it kind of has that element of still being like
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: fun and silly. So you get the entertainment aspect of us,
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: but you can really watch it and get your itinerary,
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: like if you watch the Mexico City episode. You have
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: your whole itinerary for a weekend in Mexico City, for sure.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: And I love that about the show too, because I
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: think it also portrays black women in such a good light.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: Like these days, you have so many of the reality
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: shows that are out now where the women are fighting.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: It's a lot of drama, it's a lot of miss
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: Our show is very lighthearted, it's fun, and it's showing
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: two black women and traveling together, exploring the world, having.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: A good song.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: There's an overwhelming theme and I'm glad you kind of
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: mentioned it earlier you were like travel Queens Africa, because
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I feel as I watched the episodes, there's just overwhelming
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: theme about going back to Africa.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Whether it was like we in polin Ca and I'm like, okay,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you can see the roots there. When you went to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Mexico City, it was like, we're going to the black
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: there's a very there's an intentionality there, right, So to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: talk about that because it's important, right people, Even when
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: we were talking about rice and that being the currency
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that was being traded, most people think it was cotton.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: You're learning about it, but it all ties back to Africa, right,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: talk about the intentionality of having that in episodes.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: I think, like I said, when I started traveling, I
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: really started traveling kind of like in my early thirties,
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: like because I have a best friend who travels a lot,
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: and she's like that type of travel when we go
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: to these places where the black people at and how
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: they tailored the show was like, let's go to these
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: places and find black people. Let's get the stories so
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: everybody can understand we all came from the same place.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: We just got dropped off at different location.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: So it's much emphasized on really learning that we are
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: more similar than we are different, because I think in
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: this world that we're living in today, everybody's having you know,
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: oh you from here, I'm from here.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm doing bennikin I ain't know black.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: It's like everybody want to be separated, but it's like, no,
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: we are really alike. And I love that about the
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: show because I'm like, oh my god, y'all like our cousin. Yeah,
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: that was the amazing thing about going to Pelink because
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: I was gonna say that. I think a lot of
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: time in the Afro Latino community, they get this stigma
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: that they don't want to be attached to being black.
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: But in Pelink they were very proud to be black,
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: like they had their pro black t shirts. They were saying, no,
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: we feel very connected to our African roots.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: I think it was a highlight.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: It's an educational process, like Gardhina, that's well, like a
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: lot of black people live in Colombia and people talk
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: about Brazil a lot, but South America there's more. South
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: America is the second largest population of black people in
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: the world as far as continent facts, so there was
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: more slaves that came to South America than America. Brazil
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: is the second largest concentration of black people outside Africa
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: in the world. So there's a lot of black people
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: in Colombia and that people look at columb because it's
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: not represented. So when you see beauty pageants and it's
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: very fair skinned people in Colombia and Brazil and even Mexico.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: But then you go to these countries and you realize
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: that there's a lot of people that look like you similarities,
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: but the media has not portrayed that. So everybody thinks
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: that Colombia is only like Pablo Escobar and.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: In a hotel.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: But when we went down there, like I was so shocked.
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: Like I said, I always tell this story. I said, Look,
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: the only time I went to Columbia, when I get
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: to my BBL, so I was wrapped up in the hospital.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: Room, you know what I'm saying, I didn't know what
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: was going on.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: But so this time I went, I was able to
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: really travel around and see I'm like, oh, they got
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: you know the microbe right, the really like really are
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: looking like us?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: You too? Why were paying six hundred up here?
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: You know what they receive you guys, not just in
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Columbia but everywhere, Like how is your reception? Of course
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: you got a TV cameras on, right, even if they
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: don't know who you are, they they know they know somebody.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: But how is that reception? Because that's the thing too.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: Black people sometimes fearful to travel because they think that
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: it's going to be too much racism or it's going
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: to be uncomfortable. So how is your experiences traveling to
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: these different places?
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: I think that they received us really well, because, like
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: we were just saying, a lot of the time people
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: assume that it's not going to be a lot of
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: black people in these spaces, but it was so many
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: people and I feel like, obviously, up until we started talking,
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: you can't really tell that.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: We're not from here.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean in the camera's suit after the cameras
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: gave it away. But the reception was really good and
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: all of the places that we went to.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: I always say this to people when you're traveling Black Americans,
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: but just Americans in general, because everybody knows that kind
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: of reputation that we have. When you travel and you're
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: genuinely like curious and you want to learn about the
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: culture and you are really trying to immerse yourself, they
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: appreciate that. So the fact that we were there and
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: we're not like, Okay, do y'all speak English? We don't
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: understand y'all. We like on our phone were trying to speak.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. We were struck and I
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: knew Salitolino word for word.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: They they was.
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: Shure, yes, but they appreciate just seeing the ef.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: You had that downpack that movie. I was like, ah,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: she got that everything else what you were trying older.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I said, nah, nah, we need.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: They throw it out.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: It's my accident a Houston accent speaking Spanish alight.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: But then I heard like a little creole like, I'm like, wait,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: does she got that too?
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Like nah, right, you know there's no this creole in language.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well yeah yeah it is actually Yeah, and so
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: my family, my mom's family is actually from Louisiana.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, from like Charles.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I did hear it then?
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: For sure? Yeah, my grandfather is from like Charles. Yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: So so okay, I got to ask you this because
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: you know, on the guy's side.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: So all right, there's a thing called passport bro.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: Oh oh god, yeah we know about that.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: You never heard of it?
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, unfortunately unfortunately.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: But what's not talked about a lot of like even
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Stella had a groove BacT. There is a certain thing
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: of women go and they meet God, you guys, your relationships.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: You know, kinda town.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: It's d complicated.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: It's rocky.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: It's always complicated. Three years of complication.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: It's rocky. We need to get it together.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: We're getting it together this year.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: That the next season, yeah.
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: Hopefully we hopefully next time we be engaged. Queens and kings, travel,
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: queens and kids.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, it's rocky rocky Waters right for both for both
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: of year.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: I will say rocky Waters because I'm like, it's a
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: good space.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: It's cool. I'm figuring it out. I'll say that.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: What does that mean though? Are you single or not?
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: I am you're single?
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: Yes, I feel like i'm single because.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: I feel like i'm single. Are you single? That's crazy?
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: That's crazy because.
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: We still communicate, like we're still talking, but we're not
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: in a relation.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: Right, that's what.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Right, you're traveling, Yes, you.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Need you need some time traveling, Queen, I'm traveling, Queeny
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: is so so all right?
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: So being at you guys are single, gods, try to
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: talk to you? How is that aspect? Because we never
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: really got to the bottom of that, Like we know
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: there's a stigma of guys when they travel certain elements,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: but when women travel, right, is that something that you
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: care about or you like, I'm just here just for
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: a good time, like I don't want to talk to
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: a guy, or like.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: It really depends where you go because if I'm being
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: quite honest, the girls y'all might get mad at me.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: But like when I went to That's December and Legos, Oh,
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: they was outside, the girls like they go there looking
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: for Oh. I didn't go this year. I went a
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: few years ago. But I know, like you go out there.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: You might find you in Nigeria and King.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm saying that's a part some true.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the girls be traveling, traveling like I mean, it's
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: that's real, that's a real thing.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: It is like they be on them like girls girls trip.
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: They love us to get them legs down with their clay,
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: and it'd be more than that going down.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: That's a fact. Going over board.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: I think the Passport bros Are more.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Like both Stanley Stanley rubbing them down.
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: With them going down.
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: But I think Dexter bros Are more like open and
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: it's more controversial. They're reasoning because they're like, oh, we
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: don't like American women anymore.
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: We're going to get something, trying to go get something cheaper. Yeah,
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: something cheaper.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: And then they still don't want to pay them.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: They don't want to pay them.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: No, girls, the girls be on talk mad.
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: That's always been my perception of the Passport Bros. From
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: what I see online, Like they travel to these other
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: countries a lot of time, like third world countries and
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: try to find a wife because they're like, you know,
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: they're going to be happy with a minimalistic lifestyle versus
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: American women.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: They feel like they want too much.
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, too much expectation, too many expectations, too much money.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: But then something that could be said too for the
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: girls that be like, look, I'm tired of dealing with
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Prima Donna's in America. I want to actually you know
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: what I mean, Chopper treat.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we can build all day down. You should build
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: the house.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: But it's beer hands himself the lumber.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: So yeah, I think the women are just like we
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: just more player per usual, per we keep our mouth shut,
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: we go, they go out the country get their men.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: So in the show, did gods try to talk to
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: you in the show? Is that part of the show?
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, not at all.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: It happened.
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: No, because I feel like a lot of people were
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: afraid to approach us a little bit because of the camp.
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: So it was a lot of people taking pictures of us,
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: but nobody really walking up saying anything.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, oh yeah, we didn't have that but yeah, and
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: then we had security too.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah. But that's one thing I like about the show.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: It's not about none of that.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: It's not about it's literally about us having a good time.
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: It's not about we're not talking about gender, none of
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: that dating stuff. Are y'all doing fifty to fifty a
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: two hundred dollars day? It ain't none of that, it's
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. So it's completely different from
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: the podcast world.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that you said almost in every
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: episode like it's safe, So it gives that message that
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the travel here but you did have security. Are these
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: places that you would frequent without security? And how would
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: you feel if there was no cameras? It would just
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: be something like I can feel like I could come
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: back here.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: And so I said, I would love to go back
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: to Mexico City and really get to explore the city,
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: not actually filming.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: I would.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: I would absolutely go back to all of those places
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: without security.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Columbia. Yeah, what was a street we were on in Colombia?
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: I can't remember what it was called, but it was
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: really really nice. It kind of reminded me of a
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: Colombian barbon street.
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like with the umbrellas in the dry Yeah, and
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: it was like it was a lot of families out
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: like turning up drinking, but you see a lot of
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: like kids and stuff.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: It was actually really really cool.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: So I would definitely go back, you know, with just us,
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: like a girl group, a big group of us.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: So yeah, watching it was that was I think that
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: scene was the first time where I was like, oh wait,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: like the cameras in here, like people are actually filming
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: them because y'all was dancing.
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: Right yep, you know we was cutting the mean rud
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: I mean.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Music, music is the universal language.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Talk about how that brings cultures together, how that brings
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: communities together. I know you've brought you your Texas to
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: work with you definitely, how that infusion of music just
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: brings us all together.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: So we actually took a dance class on the beach
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: in Colombia, which was really fun, and it was like
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: some of the dance moves weren't exactly similar, but it
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: was like, Okay, I know how to do this. I
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: done did this in the club before, and I'm telling you,
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: it's like that's all I kept saying. I was just
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: so shocked at how similar we are the music influence.
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: You can hear certain things. I'm like, Okay, this is
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: something I would actually listen to, Like I listen to afrobeats,
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: so you can hear the influence of that in a
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: lot of the music that they were listening to So,
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: like I said, with traveling, especially with this show, because
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: I've traveled before, I'm just learning that how similar we
• 35:50
  Speaker 6: are instead of like us always pointing out the differences.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: It's so much from the food and Charleston, I'm like,
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: this reminds me of Cajun or Creole foods.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you went to Charlesea, South Carolina, Key West, Florida, yes,
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Mexico and Colombia yes.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: So okay.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: We talked about the international travel, but domestic travel because
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: that's something that a lot of people look over a
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: lot of places in America, like if you Miami, New York,
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: you know, Chicago, LA.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: But there's a lot of like.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Hitting gyms, oh for sure, So these are places that
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: people might not usually go to. So talk about that,
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: like it's actually finding different places like those two places
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: in particular, Like how was your experience? Was there things
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: to do? Was it fun? Like how is that being
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: like most people just kind of look over that.
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah for sure, because I think that was me prior
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: to going to Key West and Charleston, Like those are
• 36:45
  Speaker 7: two places that I just never thought to travel to.
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: So it was definitely a lot to do there, and
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: it's so funny because I go to Miami all the
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: time and then Key West is right there. It's like,
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: I think a two hour drive and I never have
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: thought to go to Key West. But it's beautiful. The
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: water is beautiful, is clear. I think, what is super
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: close to Cuba? We went rafting? Yeah, what else did
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: we do there? We need a drag show? We ate
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: The night life is really dope. So I think that
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: I love about travel queens that it's definitely going to
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: highlight going to places that are literally almost in your backyard,
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: and it's budget friendly.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: You can have a good time.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: And I think the same thing about Charleston. I say
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: this every interview we do. I have a friend in
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: Charleston and he has been trying to get me to
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: come out there forever. He's like, lex, y'all love it,
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: come have fun, we gonna do this. I'm like, I'm
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: not going to Charleston. And I had a ball, like
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: the water, people take nice boats out, the food was amazing.
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: And I like to travel domestically anyway, Like one of
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: my favorite places to go is Phoenix. So I feel
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: like there are a lot of little places in the
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: States that are beautiful that you can really have a good.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: Time and you don't have to break the bank, you
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: know what I mean.
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: So I like the fact that they split the season up, like, Okay,
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: we're gonna go some domestic places too, because people love
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: to say, oh, if you in the States, that's not
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: a vacation. If I'm working and I gotta pack and
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: spending night back, it's a vacation.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: But then also it's like, all right, America is geographically
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: is bigger than Europe, right, So if you look at
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: it from that standpoint, that would be like somebody that
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: lives in France, if they go to even London, which
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: is a two hour train ride, they're looking at that
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: like that's a total different experience.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: They go to Brussels, they go to Italy. America.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: I think it just all gets lumped in is one thing,
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: but there's a bunch of different subcultures and different and
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: a lot of activities. That's important that you highlight that too,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: because people think if you go to America, you just
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: you go to Miami, you're gonna go to the beach,
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: you're gonna go Collins, and you go to Hollywood, you're
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: gonna go shopping.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: New York.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: But it's like you can do outdoor activities and whitewater
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: rafting and skydiving in America.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: You don't got to go outside the country do that,
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: And then even in Charleston, like the Geechee Gulla people
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: that are there, we knew nothing about them, and it's
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: a lot of Caribbean influence. It's African influence there, and
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: it's just something that we never knew about. The food
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: is similar, like you said, to the food in Louisiana.
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: The red rice was just like jambalaya. It's just so
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: many different variations of cultures in the United States that
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: I think we don't really pay attention to.
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't actually mind doing the season like here, like
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: New York, no traveling.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Domestic girls come here.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: But yeah, but we could do a whole we did here.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but I feel like there's so many like little pot.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: You'll be watching I'll support y'all.
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: No, I do be saying like y'all don't be supporting
• 39:41

  Speaker 5: I'll be watching Trump. I'll be tuned in every Wednesday.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: But yeah, is there.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: An activity that you were surprised that you actually enjoyed right,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: like there was someone I'm on there. I'm like, there's
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: no way I ever would have thought of that, but
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: it's something that you were like, we gotta do it,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: and then you actually were like, this is actually fun.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: I'll say the luta ly bright for me.
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was gonna I was in there cutting up.
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: I didn't think I was gonna enjoy that either, but
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: it was actually really fun, especially when they had us
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: in the ring doing the flip.
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: But you didn't even know I could do that.
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, even watching them fire, I was like, oh, y'all
• 40:21
  Speaker 6: are serious core. I ain't see to show that good
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: is renaissance renaissance, I really was, So that really surprised me.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: I was like, ooh, I don't know if that's my thing.
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, I used to watch wrestling when I was little,
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: but I was like, okay, I'm grown.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: But it was actually really fun.
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that was probably it for me because I feel
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: like everything else that we did I've done before, so
• 40:43
  Speaker 7: I knew I was gonna enjoy it, except for the
• 40:45
  Speaker 7: massages on the beach, but who not.
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: Yea, And that was the shortest activity we did. That's crazy.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: It's not going to enjoy that right, So where do
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: you want to go in? You been to Ghana?
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: No, I haven't ever been to Africa. She's been to Nigeria,
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: but I.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Have to travel.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Should you should? You should come to Ghana. We're gone,
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: you should come. You should come with us?
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Answer this question? She said, building a house there, that's crazy.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: They don't support us like we support them. A house,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: a community, well, you know city, you know what I mean?
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Those are three different things.
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: Well, in a house where I'm from in Orange's about
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: six communities.
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: Y'all got to excuse me.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: I'm a little country now.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: The house in that sense, you know what I'm saying?
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: A house and that a home for you know.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: The community? Yeah, yeah, what is that going? Now?
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: It's doing. It's going good. Y'all should come out there
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: when we come. We're actually going in a couple of weeks.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, you should go.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: I'm down for a little always down for.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: How long y'all going for?
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: We're gonna be there for like almost eleven days like that.
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna have to. Yeah. We love a.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Good trip, man, gonna live.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: The food.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: The food is amazing, I know what you like you okay, Yeah,
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: if y'all like, we gotta talk about food too, because
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: I feel like food and travel go hand in hand. No,
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: but Ghana is one of these places always. It's like
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: the entry to Africa. You should go to Ghana before
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: you go to any other country because it's very safe,
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: laid back. You know, some other countries a little bit
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: more aggressive, but Ghana is super relaxed, chill.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: The food, and they got all kinds of different food.
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: So they got like Thai food, they got Chinese food,
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: they got Italian food, they got the local cuisine and
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: people very welcoming. They got beaches, they got the nightlife
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: is crazy. Yeah, so and we we really know like
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: the people. That's really the right people to know that
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: so we can get whatever we want.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: I know that's right number one food travel place. Yeah.
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: But I agree with what you said like Ghana being
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: like like the entry to because I'm not gonna lie.
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: I always tell people this, like I went to Legos
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: with the guy I was dating at the time, and
• 42:58
  Speaker 6: you know he's from there, lived there. But it's like
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: you cannot go to Legos without being hosted by somebody.
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: I would never just be like, oh, girls, let's go
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: to Legos. Let's gather up the girls and go to Legos,
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: because you really have to know how to navigate that city.
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: It's very aggressive, like it's a culture shot. Like I've
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: never landed somewhere, and I was like, Oh, Lord, have mercy,
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: what's going on?
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: Jesus helpment?
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Like for sure.
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: So but I always wanted to go to Gonda because
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: I do hear that, like girls go on trips together
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: and they can navigate it pretty easily easily.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: And then they got the whole history thing, like you
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: know if you're interpreted like the slave castle, dungeons and
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: all that, so that's a historical thing.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: So it's it's it's a really dope place.
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they had them.
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: They did, They really did, just like I forgot.
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: So I'm just trying to breage the culture to see
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: we more.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: Like we tied it back to So it's like it
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: so there's you know Jamestown, Virginia. Yeah, it's hard to
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: be so there's a Jamestown in Ghana. So that's where
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: they so that it was a direct line. Yeah, Jamestown, Ghana.
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: That's crazy. I never knew that.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been to both.
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: I know that's right.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when you're standing in a cry and you're looking
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: out in the water, there's just a moment that you
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: realize that your ancestors left here and never came back,
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: and some of them didn't make it to Jamestown in Virginia,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: will what would be called Jamestown in Virginia? And then
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: you realize on the other side, when in America looking
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: out to the Atlantic, you realize how far you've come here.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: So it's definitely one of those moments that you definitely
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: should experience and have people filming you.
• 44:39
  Speaker 7: I see and have people filming this, hopefully BETCD.
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Where else would you guys go if you had a list? Right,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: this is the whist list for season two. Here's where
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: we want to go. What would be those places I.
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: Really would love And maybe this is just casting a
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: wide nick, but I really would love to go to
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: Africa next season, you know? Or yeah, I just travel
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: to different places, like go to like do an episode
• 45:04

  Speaker 5: I haven't been to Perios before I had and I
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: had a ball cutting up.
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: You did have a time, mercy, Jesus, I have to go.
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: I've been to Amsterdam and when I tell you I
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: had a time I was in them coffee shops cutting up.
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: So I feel like we have to go to Amsterdam.
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: Oh what.

• 45:36
  Speaker 7: back to a visa.
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: But the food that surprised me in Amsterdam it was
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: really really good. It was like kind of the same thing,
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: like a melting pot, Like the tafoo was really good.
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: The Italian food was really good, but same.
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: We need to go to Greece cause I think people
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: I've never been to Greece personally, but I would like
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: to show because everybody when I see people talking about
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: Greece are like, oh, should I go to Santorini or
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: a Mikono's like those two spots. But santor is like
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: the honeymoon spot and Mikingos is like the party spot.
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: So I would love for us to kind of do
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: like an episode like that. I want to really go
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: to places that aren't just like just the beachy type

  Speaker 5: Like Madrid, because we only got to be a Madrid
• 46:27

  Speaker 5: I don't know, I feel like, first of all, I'm
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: just the vibe.
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: I'll always be turned up, so no matter where I go,
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: I'm going to have a time. But Paris, definitely, that's
• 47:05

• 47:06
  Speaker 6: Legos because I did Legos the right way.
• 47:09

  Speaker 7: is actually Jamaican. Shout out to my best friendly in
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: and so her family has like a whole compound in Kingston.
• 47:39

• 47:42
  Speaker 7: at a time and spend a lot of time with
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: her family.
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: And she was like, girl, you should come. And I'm like,
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: Know Kingston again, just never going somewhere, making assumptions.
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: But it was really safe. I was a little scared.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: My family from Kingston, really yeah, my whole family from there.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: My mom said they grew up in the same neighborhood
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: we went Kingson. A few years ago, I went back
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: to the neighborhood and the police escorted me out the neighborhood.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: They say, you don't belong here, don't come back.
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: I'm weak. That's why you don't like gumbo.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: You don't look like oxtails, I don't eat beef, and
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: you ate poor. We'll talk about that later. But keep
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: doing things you did. You did you did Kingston with us?
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: But I had a good time in Kingston, I would
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: say honestly. When we went to a Beza, we had
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: a really Yeah, we had a really good time in
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: the visa and then London as well.
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: Vibe.
• 48:31
  Speaker 7: I couldn't get with the beans and toast, but that
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: was the best part for me, you know, No, I
• 48:35
  Speaker 7: love a little.
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: Bean you do, but you didn't like those?
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: No, I did like the breakfast beans of money. That's
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: the first bean I didn't like. But I do like London.
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: It's cool, but I don't know, it reminds me of
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: New York, you know what I'm saying.
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: So when I like, they stayed New York and Tokyo
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: and London are all the same.
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like similar. But I went to Brazil and what
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: was that December? Did I for the first time? Rio?
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: I went to Rio.
• 49:04

• 49:08
  Speaker 6: be going to as soon as I land.
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: I'm drunk.
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: What a party act. And I had a good time.
• 49:13
  Speaker 6: So we definitely gotta do.
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: And I just love the Caribbean.
• 49:16
  Speaker 7: Like remember when I went to like Tobago, Kays and
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: I went to all of these different islands. I was
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: on a yacht for like seven days and I went
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: to like five different islands.
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: It was really really dope.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Not the Fisherman.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: It was a yat yacht.
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: I was still a little.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: So for flat.
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: So if we put if we put up, if we
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: put a post up for like top five places that
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: black women should travel, that's we got Dubai.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, we got Paris.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Y Amsterdam for sure, Amsterdam, Jamaica.
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: And then I would say, oh, turk One, Yeah we

  Speaker 7: forgot about it.
• 49:53
  Speaker 6: Her.
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: You didn't even mention her a.
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: It's really but it's probably one of the most expensive
• 49:59
  Speaker 7: places is that we there.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we had some good times and Turks.
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Turks is definitely about but and you need your money,
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: but it ain't budget friendly at all at all. And
• 50:09
  Speaker 6: I will say honestly, when I went to Amsterdam, there's
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: a lot of black people in Amsterdam.
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: Like that's surprising Africans. It's a lot.
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: I mean it was a lot of people of a
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: lot of Americans there that had actually.
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: Moved well, no, they a lot of people that were
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: living there.

  Speaker 6: random bar and I was by myself, just walking because
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: my friend had to work and I walked it this
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: random bar. I met so many like black Americans that
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: have been living there for years.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: Been there? You been to Asia?
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: No, not at all.

  Speaker 4: Why you don't think like Thailand too? But but I
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: just feel like lex.
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: LEXI probably isn't like turn up fun or like food fun.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: But it's super like, it's super turn up like as
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: far as like, Thailand's a good place because whatever you
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: want to do you can do. Like there's like different vibes,
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: Like there's beach vibes, there's city vibes, there's like beautiful
• 51:08

  Speaker 5: I'm going to go to Mankind. Yeah.
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: The pork blbuns, So I don't judge me because that's
• 51:21

• 51:23
  Speaker 2: I really judge you, right, pork.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: It is tasty pork bows, the work, the bal buns.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: And they have like the pork in it, the little
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: soft buns and then they have like the falling on
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: the inside.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: Did you you had pork cheek? Right? What?
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: What was it with the table? Was beef? It was?
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: It was it was I was judging and the eye
• 51:43
  Speaker 6: and it was beef hated by an adventurous either.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: Though, let's get to this. Let's get to this, all right,
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: let's get to this. This is this is social media necessarily.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: So we got two different categories. Okay, I said something
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: on social media. They got went very controversial. In my
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: top five food cities in America.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: I saw that. I remember that.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Did you remember that?
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: I do?
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: I remember it was like a few months ago.
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: So okay, you guys travel a lot your footies.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, both foolies.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: So let's do this. Let's start with America. What is it.
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: What's your top five food cities in America? And explain
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: this to me.
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: And I see, maybe I'm being a little biased because
• 52:27
  Speaker 7: I'm from Houston, but I feel like Houston has some
• 52:31
  Speaker 7: of the best food in the States. Like it's just
• 52:34
  Speaker 7: so many different flavors, so many different cultures. Like we
• 52:38
  Speaker 7: have really good Mexican food because we're right there by Mexico.
• 52:41
  Speaker 7: We have really good Cajun and Creole food because we're
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: right there by Louisiana and it's so many Louisiana people
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: that have moved to Houston. Then I feel like even
• 52:50
  Speaker 7: in the clubs, even the strip club foods Bussy, you
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: can get fried rice at three am. They not doing
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: that in other cities. Like, I don't know, I just
• 52:59
  Speaker 7: feel like Houston has really really good food, definitely with
• 53:03
  Speaker 7: site New York, just because there's so many different cultures
• 53:06
  Speaker 7: out here, and y'all have really good Cuban food. Y'all
• 53:09
  Speaker 7: have really good Dominican food. Making food like the least
• 53:13
  Speaker 7: just goes on and on.
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: Chicago.
• 53:15
  Speaker 7: Chicago, for sure, Chicago has really really good food as well.
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: They have a lot of amazing restaurants out there.
• 53:23
  Speaker 6: I've never been in Chicago. Like, restaurant is always good.
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: New Orleans, you know New Orleans. You're not really sold
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: on New Orleans. That's controversial, but it's close to Houston,
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: to be honest, because the whole change it did, it
• 53:38
  Speaker 6: really did, And I don't men.
• 53:43
  Speaker 7: That's probably want the food is so good in Houston
• 53:44
  Speaker 7: because everybody waves them.
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so break this because everybody thinks.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: That Chicago and you didn't have Chicago.
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: You know how Chicago thing.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but Chicago, I definitely could have. They could have
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: they forgave you. Well, let's talk about New Orleans.
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: This is controversial because people think is the best thing
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: ever when it comes to food.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you think it's overrated.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: It's not that I think that it's overrated.
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: I just think, Okay, Like I was saying earlier, my
• 54:10
  Speaker 7: family is from Louisiana, so I grew up eating Creole
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: Cajun food a lot. I think that a lot of
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: the restaurants in Louisiana are very commercial. So it's different
• 54:20
  Speaker 7: from like if you're eating the food at your Greennie
• 54:22
  Speaker 7: House versus if you're going to a lot of beas
• 54:24
  Speaker 7: chain restaurants outside of Tomorrow's, outside of Morrows because shout
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: out to.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Big Larrow and everything in that.
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: Amen. But I will say I agree with her.
• 54:34
  Speaker 6: If you're like in New Orleans or Louisiana, wherever you are,
• 54:37
  Speaker 6: if you go to somebody aunty house, you're gonna have
• 54:39
  Speaker 6: the best food you've ever had in.
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: Your life boat.
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: But like if you're just on Bourbon Street and you're
• 54:44
  Speaker 6: trying to eat, it's not going to be like.
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: It's just very commercial yeah, so, yeah, I agree with that.
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: Well, so we got Houston, New York, Chicago. We got
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: two more cities.
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: I would say Philly has really good food.
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: Interesting Philly, Philadelphia.
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like we went.
• 55:01
  Speaker 7: I can't remember the name of that restaurant. Maybe living
• 55:04
  Speaker 7: rent free in my head. That Italian restaurant that we
• 55:06
  Speaker 7: went to out there, that pasta was some of the
• 55:09
  Speaker 7: best possible in my life. I really can't. I wish
• 55:12
  Speaker 7: I could remember the name of the restaurant right now.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: That's incredible.
• 55:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm trying to think one more, one more. We're somewhere,
• 55:23

• 55:33

• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: Like no ceason and no season in the same.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Probably at the if we had to rank them, it
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: would probably be at the bottom.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: The worst, the worst.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 5: And see, I wasn't expecting it. Are they strict out there?

• 1:01:58
  Speaker 6: and packed and I made this is the airport.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: But that's part of the travel experience too. You got

  Speaker 4: to show the night life. Like even I was like
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: we only in New York hang out too much, but
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: like we was in London. We went out five nights
• 1:02:10

  Speaker 3: I had good food in London. I can't complain. I
• 1:02:30

• 1:02:32
  Speaker 7: Fooling with everything with the beans and sows for that's
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 7: what the that's what they got me.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: Dub got good food too, Like I mean, it's all right,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: let's do this. There's a difference between nice restaurants and
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 4: cultural right, exactly, Like you know what I mean, if
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: you have if the city's wealthy, they're gonna have top restaurants.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: If you go to top restaurants, you're gonna eco right, agree,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: London for instance, Right, Like we go to top restaurants,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: we're gonna eacho. You're not gonna have a bad experience
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: at a high end restaurant. But if it's like Jamaica,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: you can go to a screecheese and that feels like
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: that's the best food ever. Right, But that's not a
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 4: five star Michelan.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: It might as well be.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 5: But I'm not gonna lie.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 6: When I was in Dealshire, it's the time. What was
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 6: the restaurant the Salt Bay guys, Yeah.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: I've been. We've been a few of those.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: I'm just not I mean, it's a steakhouse, for one,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: so we're not really doing much of that, but it
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: is I think it's a bit overrated.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 5: Well i'll tell you right now. The steak wasn't it tasty?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 5: Red meat?
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: But you gotta go to Melos in Dubai at Atlantis, Okay,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: legendary highest level.

• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: They got two levels at Atlantis. It's a regular level
• 1:03:54

  Speaker 2: Elite, have like a v all piers.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: Let me put that in my nose.

  Speaker 1: a few years ago with the Big Waterfall.
• 1:04:10

• 1:04:54
  Speaker 7: mom every time she comes to Atlanta, she's like, well,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 7: you can give me whatever you want, but don't give
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 7: me no barbecue. Because she was like it tastes like
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 7: they boil the meat first and then put it on
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 7: the grill.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: It's just I don't know. They don't do a lot
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 5: of things right in Atlanta.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: Stop stop, you're doubling down. Trippling down is a snap.

  Speaker 5: I think Giordano's. Giordano's like that.
• 1:07:10

  Speaker 4: but I just feel like Philly cheese steak is legendary.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 5: I'm biasing salmon cheese.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: But the number one thing I'm gonna say is a
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: Jamaican beef patty, even.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: Though, but that's not a synonymous anonymous with Jamaica about
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: American thing, he said, Anyway, in America.

  Speaker 5: Jamaican beef patties don't taste the same here.

  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I got I'm gonna take you to
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: the right place, okay.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 7: Because I had a beef petty from the gas station
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 7: in Kingsty. It was good, yes, but apparently that place
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 7: is known for their beef patties. I can't remember the
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 7: name of it, but it's like a gas station, a
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 7: little restaurant.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: Food and gas stations. That's questionable, treachery.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Atlanta, have you ever had Dave's cheese steak Big day?
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: For sure?
• 1:08:15

• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: fact there a.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 6: Long time ago to actually try the best cheese you
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 6: ate when it was Yes, I went to what.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: From far and wide for some good food.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: I got you on the patties I got.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: Oh you know, yeah, I gotta get the marathon Burger
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: in l A too.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 5: Oh. I love a good bar. I wanted a little snack.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: I'll make a burger tro Burger, a little snack, troll burgers.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 7: And I had Schroburger for the first time actually a
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 7: few months ago when I went to the rodeo and
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 7: it was good.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: They lived up to the height solid possible one too official.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 5: I like my extra bacon.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 7: She's all, don't know bacon for me, making crispy little
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 7: turkey bacon.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: No, I want that park yep. Do y'all see this?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: Obviously you've created streams from poor minds, but Travel Queens
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: has that potential as well when I look at it, right,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: to create maybe a travel agency, a travel club, a
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: travel platform for all women.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Really, do y'all see that? In the cars?
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we always say cause it's so funny because prior
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 7: to us getting the opportunity to do Travel Queens, we
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 7: were actually talking about starting like a travel group with
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 7: some of our listeners and like traveling to different places,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 7: planning excoursions, planning in the whole trip. And then they
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 7: just pay you, not a certain price and then they
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 7: can come travel with it. So that's something I'm definitely open.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 6: To, I feel like now because at first I was like,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 6: how are we gonna like pitch this to them and
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 6: how are we gonna do it? But now that we
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 6: have a whole show to be like and it can
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 6: branch off of it, We're definitely gonna do it now
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 6: for sure, Cause like I said, we travel anyway, and
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 6: I think, like I said, that goes into like our
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 6: engagement with our audience, like you can feel like you
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 6: can travel with us and have a good time with us.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 6: So it's so many opportunities, like in the travel space
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 6: of like things to do, Like eventually, I wouldn't mind
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 6: us doing like a Poor Minds on the Gold episode,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 6: like whenever we're in different countries and recording an episode
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 6: and things like that.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 5: So it's a lot. It's a lot that we line
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 5: with Travel Queens, and we've been talking about a lot.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: So that should definitely do a travel cloth Oh.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: So I think it would be really fun retreat too.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And I said, it's something that we could document
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 6: and film and that'll live on our Patreon. We'll have
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 6: a whole you know, it's just it's a lot that
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 6: we can do. But it's a lot that we are
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 6: talking about. But it's like she said, it's crazy because
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 6: this is something that we were already talking about doing
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 6: because we travel so much.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think people will enjoy it.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: I think they see you on Poor Minds, they're like,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: oh when we meet them and probably different like y'all
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: are one hundred percent the people that y'all all on
• 1:10:48
