• 0:36
  Speaker 4: My MIC's not happy, your mic.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Is not happy, the stand is not happy. At our
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: studio is just not happy. We had a crazy week.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: We went to see Woopy Goldberg and we'll get into
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: that later. But last night, I finally I was so exhausted,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I said, all right, I'm going to bed early and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: that way I could get sleep and catch up, you know.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: So I go to bed at ten o'clock and I'm
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, the alarm goes off.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Well alarm, not your phone alarm, right, my phone alarm,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: security alarm, my security alarm, and it's yelling at me.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Broken glass, broken glass in the studio, broken glass in
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the studio. I jumped out of bed. My phone starts
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: ringing they're calling me. My mom is running down the stairs.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: She's like, what is going on? What's going on? I said,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Somebody's breaking in. So it was the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: scariest thing. Long story short, there was no break in,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: but the studio light, which has a fan it's about
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: a year or two old, it completely fell and broke
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: out of.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: The ceiling, out of the ceil fan. Yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and thankfully it did not hit the soundboard. Thankfully,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: it did not hit the computer, but it did crush
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: my mic. My mic has a big dent in its
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: little head there.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So and it's a brand new mic, Yeah.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Brand new. So it seems like it's working. And think
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: you guys can hear me. It looks like it's working.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that's crazy because I my first thought was,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: could you imagine if we were sitting here doing the
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: podcast and the fan just smashed me in the head
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: because I'm right under it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, but bye, thank god nobody was in here.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so we are doing this podcast in the dark.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: We have a little side table lamp on. But it's
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: it's crazy. I mean, what's even crazier is that the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: event picked that up.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how the hell I don't know how they picked
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: it up. I don't I don't know if there's like
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a censor in the window or something, or a sound
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: or a sound yeah me broken glass.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: So it had to have heard that sound and knew
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: to differentiate. Okay, this is a problem, you know.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's amazing.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: And the weird part is is we couldn't you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: we looked all through the house.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: We could not find come in here.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: She didn't come in here at first. And I played
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: it back and I said. The guy was still on
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the phone and I played it back and I said, no,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: something I said, there was glass broken. The guy's like,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: do you want me to call nine one one? Would
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you like me to call the police? And I'm like, no.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Not yet, yeah, not yet.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Let them run out of my house.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, you guys are brave, because your mom was
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: telling me that she was searching around the house.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: She was she went outside. I'm like, you're creepy.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: When you watch those horror movies, you always see that
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: one person that's like, hello, hello, walking through the house.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: After that's her. That's your mom.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I'm like, are you I'm When I watch these movies,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I'm like, no, one would ever do that.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: No, my mom would.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I guess so.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: And I even said to her, I'm like, what are
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you doing going outside? Just a guys, just want to
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: see if someone's out there. I'm like, why we have cameras?

  Speaker 4: Why?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, you know, and I'm like going through
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the cameras and I'm like, maybe they like searched out
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the house and ditched the camera, you know, and hid
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: underneath it or something. I don't know, but it was scary.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Gave me a heart attack. I'm so glad that my
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Vince security system works.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that definitely works.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: And that really gives me a lot of faith that
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: God forbid something happened that you'd be.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Okay as long as your mom doesn't go looking for
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the murderer or the burglar. Like, what the hell's wrong
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: with her?

  Speaker 2: I don't know. And it's not like she could fight
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: somebody out either.

• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and thankfully, my husband opens his email and he's like,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: no way, this must be a joke. This must be
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: a scam. I'm like what what. He's like, no, no, no,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: this has to be a joke.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Like what is it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: He's like, Shakiro's the show was canceled. I'm like what
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: it goes on in in a half hour, Like, what
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: do you mean it's canceled?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: He's like it says it's canceled and there's no reason
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: for it. Unforeseen, Yeah, unforeseen circumstances. And I'm like, I
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: was so upset. I just like and he immediately starts apologizing.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, babe, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I'm like, it's not your fault. He's like, I know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: but this was your gift. You've been so excited for it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: I'm so sorry. So I wanted to find out what
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: was happening. So I we walked and we passed a
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: fire department, the Boston Fire Department. And you know how
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: the firefighters they just always sit outside in their little garage.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, chilling.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: So they're just chilling. I'm like, we need to talk
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: to them. They're gonna know.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: And they're like, yeah, the stage, the stage got crushed.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: So Shakira's show, she always has this beautiful back their screens,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: like big, big, big screens that play whatever she's showing
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: up there, you know, like flames or whatever that goes
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: with her concert. And because I've been to her concerts before,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: that screen, a huge, massive screen was not hooked up
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: properly and it fell and crushed the stage and the
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: stage collapsed. So thank god it happened before, so she
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: didn't get hurt or the fans didn't get hurt.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: I wish it happened after the.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Show, that would have been better, but yeah, yeah, it
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: crushed the stage, so they had to cancel her show
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: and then the next day's show of Jason L. D
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: and he was gonna be playing there. So a lot
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: of people were upset. A lot of fans are upset
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: for both sides. I was very upset. Yeah, so yeah,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: that was my crazy weekend. And they haven't talked about
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: spoke about rescheduling it, so god knows when I'll see
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: her next.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I think it's crazy that she didn't put out a
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: statement un till like days later.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was very upset, Like that's not like her.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I've had tickets to her concerts that have been canceled
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: before when she had a health issue, and right away
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: like she put out this long post.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: She was really upset.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: She was crying like in the video and this one.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: She didn't write anything. There was no post, there was nothing,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: and a lot of fans are you know, rightfully so
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: upset about that.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: You know, like you talk to us.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Tell us what's going on, apologize even though it's not
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: her fault, but just like guys like, I'm gonna we're
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: gonna figure this out.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: She put up like a small.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Statement days later that really wasn't anything her usual, Like
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: usually she's very empathetic and all that, but I don't know,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: maybe something. You know, she's probably stressed too, because it
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: did cancel her other shows too, right, you told me.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it did cancel a few other shows. The whole
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Jason Aldeane thing. It's weird to me because each artist
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: brings their own stage usually.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe I know, she brings her backdop.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Maybe Fenway Park has their own stage that, you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: because it's a baseball field, so like, no, this is
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: the stage.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: That we're using, you know, we I don't know.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I but yeah, that was crazy, very disappointed and hopefully
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I get to see her again soon.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: We made up for that. We had a very exciting
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: week last week. We got to go to Whoopee Goldberg's
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: whoop Tee launch party. We had a freaking blast.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, it was amazing. It was like so
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: much fun. We didn't know what to expect at first,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: you know, no, but it was great.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: So many amazing people. They're nice friendly. Everyone was so
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: like welcoming.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: You know, they were all so sweet. The music. I
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: loved the music. It took me back to high school.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: It was all like R and B music and me
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and Laala were just singing and dancing along. Whoopy Goldberg.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: She was the sweetest.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like I loved her from a child. The Sister
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Act was my favorite movie.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I still watch it. I could.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: I've watched that movie probably fifty times in my life.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: You know, I was shocked when I met her at
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: how amazingly sweet she was. She was so nice, how
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: she connected with you. And Shauna can vouch her this
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: because she's met a lot of celebrities. When you meet
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: some celebrities there, they don't they don't care.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: They don't care to talk to you.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: They don't care to look you in the eye, they
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: don't care to connect with you.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're kind of like, all right, here's an autograph,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: here you go.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: And get out of my way. But whoopee, Like nope,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: she connected right away with Shauna, talked to Shauna forever.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I know she recognized me.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: She recognized Shauna.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: I walked up.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: She's like, I've met you before. And I'm like, I
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: don't think so.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: And she lives in our area, like you know, in
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: our Hudson Valley, so she could have seen her in passing,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: but she maybe it was crazy that she like took
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the time to talk to you, make the connection with you.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Just she was so nice.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I can't And then I had like a fangirl moment
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: when now I'm talking to her and like I shook
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: her hand and I'm like, whoopee, you're my biggest fan.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I loved you and sister act you're my biggest fan.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: And She's just looking at me like uh. And then
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I realized what I said, and I got all embarrassed
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: and I had to walk away. I'm like, all right, goodbye,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: You're my biggest fan, with like what the hell's wrong
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: with me? But I was just, you know, a little nervous,

• 13:37
  Speaker 2: It's out of stock already. I saw on the website
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: yesterday because I went to order it. But I am
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: going to stock up when it is back in order.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: And I thought it was gonna have a funky taste
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: because honestly, Sean and I we don't drink alcohol, we
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: don't smoke weed, we don't do anything.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I thought it was gonna taste like smell like pot.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: So I was kind of nervous to take that first
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: sip because I'm we don't we don't drink anything like
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: that or do anything like that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I did smell it before I drink it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Of course, I didn't want tom like I'm not gonna
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: smell it because maybe I won't drink it. But it
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: had no The taste was like it was sweet.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Tea mixed with lemonade. So it was just like the
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: half and half.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: And yes, that's exactly what it tasted to me. And
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: one of the founders, I don't know if she's one
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: of the founders or Fay or Priscilla. No, it wasn't her.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: It might have been one of their relatives or somebody
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: that works there with them. She asked me what I
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: thought about it. I had told her. I said, my
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: uncle owns, you know, a bunch of shops, and I've
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: never tried his stuff. But here I am, you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: trying whoopees. So she thought it was funny. And she's like,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: what did it taste like to you? And I said, honestly,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: it tasted like Arnold Palmer.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's what will be.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Not that she wanted Arnold Palmer, but I heard her
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: when she was talking. She said that she loves half
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: and half, like the sweet tea and the lemonade, and
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: that's what she wanted.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Them to create for her. And she's like, they nailed it,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: And they did. They nailed it.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: You would just think you're drinking a regular half and
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: half because it was. I didn't taste anything different in it.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't either. It was so good.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: It was mild, it wasn't too sweet, which I don't
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: like too sweet. It wasn't too sour from lemon. It
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: was just the perfect balance.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: And the pina.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Colada I had, I liked it. I liked the whoop
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: tea better the flavor. The pinaclatta was good too. It
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: was just a little too sweet for me, but a
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: lot of people they were raving about it.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: But my favorite was the whoop Tea.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: And the founders of Genesis Infused. They are women owned,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: black owned, super talented women, super nice. We talked to
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: them too, and I am just so proud of them
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: and excited for the future of Genesis Infused.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: And we will, Sean and I will definitely be buying.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: And spreading the word about them because we really truly
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: enjoyed the drinks and their company. They were really amazing people.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: And we're gonna try and get them on the show
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: later on in a few weeks when everything calms down
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: a little bit.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: So a lot of people have asked me how I
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: balance the show, the events that we go to with
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: being sick, How did you handle all that? You know,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: like it's a lot, and it is a lot, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know how I handle it. Sometimes I just do.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: And Laila, you have two kids, you work, you do
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: the show, you have your side business.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's why I'm just neurotic and like
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: losing my brain cells.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard, It is hard. I don't know. We
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: both have our different size of this.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: You know, you don't have kids, but you have a
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: ton of health issues, and that is taxing in itself.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: That takes a lot of time.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: It takes a lot of energy, It takes a lot
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: of your mental emotional.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Health, you know.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Then me, it's yeah, I have no time. I feel
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: like I'm constantly running. I'm constantly rushing through my day
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: of these timelines, timeline for this, timeline, for that, timeline,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: for the kids. When I got to pick up my son, Well,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: I got to make dinner tonight. Did I have dinner?
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I have to go to the grocery store, the show,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: the editing videos, my side business, Like, yeah, I don't
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know how we do it,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Like you said, we just you just do it. You
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: don't have a choice, you know, you don't have a choice.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I think I tried to prioritize my days, like and
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: things that I have to do, you know, like going
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: to the city. I blocked that day out weeks ago. Yeah,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: so I knew, all right, I'm gonna need Wednesday and
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Thursday completely blocked out to get ready, and we still
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: forgot stuff.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you'll see our videos that we had to
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: use our phone because our microphone broke, and then the
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: two piece We've bought a new mic to bring and
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: one of the pieces fell out of the box on
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: the way to the city, so we couldn't even use
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: the microphones.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: The tripod are light.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: It was just this is the chaos of it, and
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: we just had so much going on at that moment. Oh,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: we forgot batteries, the batteries for the other thing. Yeah,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: so it was a learning experience for Shauna and I.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: We have done interviews before, but they were never it
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: was usually on our time, and like we we had
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: a set time to meet with one celebrity, sit down
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: with them.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: It was like, you know, this we knew was a lot.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: And we're you know, we were as prepared as we
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: could be. We have to do better next time.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: But I think for I think for our first time
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: in like years, it went really well.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I think we did good. The phone picked up, the
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: interview is really great. Yeah, and so next time it's
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: going to be one hundred percent better. But it was
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: a great experience for Shauna and I to learn to
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: and to know what to do next time and what
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: not to do next time, you know.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I think that comes down with the thought
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: of not having it all, you know, like we want
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: it all. We know how to go get it. We're
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: very good at being go getters. But it's the idea
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: of not having it all, you know. It's okay, yeah,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: that we don't have it all together. Maybe one day
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: we will, I hope.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: So I hope I have.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with that, Like we were kind of
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: at the stage now where we're like all right in
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: the past, that would have ruined my whole evening of
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: oh my god, we lost that piece of the mic.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, this MIC's not working, and I would
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: have had a panic attack. But even though yes, Sean
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: will tell you, I was like thinking about it way
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: too long, longer than I should have been thinking about it, like,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: oh my god, I wish we had it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: I wish we had it. I was more chill than
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: my old self.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Would be, and I'm like, yeah, it's fine, we're gonna
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: make it work. Just relax, and I'm proud of myself.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I'm proud of me and Seana for not freaking out.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: And we made it work, you know, we made it work. So, yeah,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: we got to ditch that having it all attitude because
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: it's good.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: That's more stress than it's worth.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is. And you know, I will say
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: that I think we were very professional there. Yes, you know,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: we looked like we had our shit together, even though
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: we did not. Nobody knew, you know. I talked to
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: a lot of people there and I'm like, oh, we
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: forgot her my you know, the mic broke this. We've
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: got batteries and they're like, really, well, we couldn't tell
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: what you tell. Yeah, so and the sound on my
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: phone actually came out really good, it did. I was
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: very shocked.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, before we got there, like we dressed, you know,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: we made sure we dressed to the nine, you know,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: and Seanna got there before me, and she was a
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: little nervous She's like, I think we're over dressed, and
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: my husband was like, tell her, relax. It's better to
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: be overdressed and look professional and look like you give
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: a crap about the.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Event than to not. And that's I said to Sean.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I'm like, let's no, we look good. We're good.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: You know, we look like we respect this event like
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: we are. We think highly of this event, and we
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: think highly of ourselves, so you know what I mean.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I think we were great. I think we looked good too.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: You know, we did, even though everything was last minute.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: We went out on Wednesday looking for alphits and got
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: her hair done, got her nails done.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Those were last minute Alphas. We both bought them the
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: same day together.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the day before, like we were both thank god,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: you know, thank god we went shopping because I'm like, ah,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: we're not gonna find anything, but we did.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: We found two winners, and we looked beautiful.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I think I think we did too.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: The other thing we forgot that I was really upset
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: about was our har Oh mini light and I raved
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: about this on the show before. It's it is like
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: the mag safe light. It clips right onto the back
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: of your phone like magnetically. You just put their boomit's
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: on there. It's secure and it's really bright. You can
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: change the coloring the lighting, and I really wanted to
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: use that for our interview, and I think it would
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: have been great, absolutely amazing for that.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, lighting in there sucked. It was really bad.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Story, it was not the best. And ring like it's
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: are really they're going out of style.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't want to walk in with a ring
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: light kind of anymore, Like that's not you know, but
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: this one was perfect.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: It's small.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: If it right on the back of your phone, you
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: don't even have to take another case for it because
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: it could just stay.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: On the back of your phone, you know.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: And so I'm really I'm really frustrated with myself for
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: I was just so frazzled, you know what I mean.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Like for me, it was I had to get a
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: babysitter for the kids. My babysitter's car broke down, so
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: I had to go pick them up. They lived forty
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: minutes away from me, get them back, get Seana, get
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: you know, like my husband, he had to drive us
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: to the city. It was just a lot, and I
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: think that played into us being so forgetful with things.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: But I am.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: We have another few interviews coming up. We're going to
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Nashville in a couple of weeks, and that is right now.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: It's already in my suitcase. I put my I pre.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Packed some stuff and that's in my suitcase. I am
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: not forgetting it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: And is the microphone in your suitcase?
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I hope? So that's scary, right, I don't know. I
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: will check when I get home, but I did.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: I did bring it in my room, so who knows
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: if it made it to the suitcase. But that's remind
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: me tonight and it's going in the suitcase. Everything, the batteries,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: the microphone, everything.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I have to give you the SD card, so remind me.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: So.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: But this Harlow Minu, which we've talked about, it is
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: something that every influencer photographer, you should have it, or
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: if even just for normal people, like if you want
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: better lighting in areas or make your videos pop, pictures pop.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: It's a great thing.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: It's small and you can stay on the back of
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: your phone, you know, when it's not really in use.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't keep it on there forever because in case
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: it gets damaged. But I love it, and we actually
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: have a code for that LB.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: T M ten and that is for ten percent off.
• 23:43
