- 1:25Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna lie to you guys though. This
- 1:27Speaker 1: week getting back to work at the Breakfast Club after
- 1:30Speaker 1: being technically out of work at the Breakfast Club for
- 1:33Speaker 1: a week, even though we were still working. We were
- 1:36Speaker 1: at Essence Festival, we were at the BT Awards.
- 1:39Speaker 4: It's been a little rough.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I ain't gonna hold y'all like, you know, getting up
- 1:43Speaker 1: out of bed at four fifteen, four thirty in the
- 1:45Speaker 1: morning on a good day when I ain't running late,
- 1:48Speaker 1: and just you know, there's a lot of mental preparation
- 1:52Speaker 1: that I try and do now before I hop on
- 1:54Speaker 1: the mic for The Latest with Lorna Rosa, whether it's
- 1:57Speaker 1: here on the podcast or on the Breakfast Club. And
- 1:59Speaker 1: a big part of that is because I don't know,
- 2:02Speaker 1: like I feel like seeing how people who are doing
- 2:07Speaker 1: this at a really high level and have been for
- 2:09Speaker 1: some years that are very successful, like Envy, Charlomagne, Oprah.
- 2:14Speaker 3: And y'all know.
- 2:14Speaker 1: I watch a ton of podcasts too, so I'm watching,
- 2:17Speaker 1: you know, people do this at such a high level
- 2:19Speaker 1: all the time. The feeling that I get when I
- 2:22Speaker 1: walk away from watching them do what they do is
- 2:26Speaker 1: the feeling that I want the people to get. And
- 2:29Speaker 1: I think over this last week of me ripping and
- 2:31Speaker 1: running at all these different places and getting to interact
- 2:34Speaker 1: with all of you guys in real life, I'm really
- 2:38Speaker 1: grateful and I'm really appreciative. And I tell y'all that
- 2:42Speaker 1: every episode, and I don't just do it because it's
- 2:44Speaker 1: our tagline and how we wrap up the podcast. It's
- 2:46Speaker 1: really a true meaning, Like I'm honestly grateful to be
- 2:50Speaker 1: on this journey to learn and to understand where my
- 2:54Speaker 1: voice sits in the world of all of the media
- 2:56Speaker 1: and all of the things. So that that impact that
- 2:59Speaker 1: I feel watching these greats that I mentioned and listening
- 3:02Speaker 1: to these grapes that I mentioned, it's the same thing
- 3:04Speaker 1: that you guys feel every single time you press played
- 3:06Speaker 1: on an episode here on the Lates, along the Roads
- 3:08Speaker 1: of the podcast, the breakfast Club, the view, wherever you
- 3:11Speaker 1: see me at, I want you to feel that. So
- 3:15Speaker 1: there's a different mindset, there's a different flow state I
- 3:17Speaker 1: have to tap into, you know, just to keep myself.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Not a lot.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I wouldn't say keep myself align because I feel like,
- 3:25Speaker 1: you know, God does that, Like that is like a
- 3:26Speaker 1: divine thing that is not anything that human or man
- 3:29Speaker 1: can control.
- 3:30Speaker 3: It's more so.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Just making sure I'm quieting the noise to understand the
- 3:37Speaker 1: why not understand, but to always put the why any
- 3:40Speaker 1: intention first, regardless of we just having a good time,
- 3:43Speaker 1: we're doing a little key key, we getting all in
- 3:45Speaker 1: the business.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Just understanding that.
- 3:47Speaker 1: So, you know, coming back into this week of work
- 3:50Speaker 1: and not really having.
- 3:53Speaker 3: The break of it, I had to like really use.
- 3:57Speaker 1: And pull from all of the people that I met
- 3:59Speaker 1: and all the experiences I've had over this last week
- 4:02Speaker 1: to do that. And I think one of my favorite
- 4:05Speaker 1: things that I like ever ever ever, like people think
- 4:09Speaker 1: I just like being out and ribbon and running because
- 4:12Speaker 1: Brono grinding is the motto, and you know, we on
- 4:14Speaker 1: the grind, right now and we building and this is
- 4:16Speaker 1: the season for that. But no, it energizes me and
- 4:19Speaker 1: it keeps me going. Like I told y'all, it was
- 4:22Speaker 1: for anybody else, having a full week off and having
- 4:24Speaker 1: to get back up at four a m. Again right
- 4:26Speaker 1: after that and really not really taking a break honestly,
- 4:29Speaker 1: would have been difficult. But for me, what I'm out
- 4:33Speaker 1: and about and I'm talking to you guys, and I'm
- 4:35Speaker 1: getting to see, like what it is that you care about,
- 4:38Speaker 1: what impacts you that we care about or we talk about,
- 4:41Speaker 1: and just the excitement and the joy. I asked the
- 4:43Speaker 1: question all the time on this podcast, especially in the
- 4:46Speaker 1: earlier days of it.
- 4:49Speaker 3: Are we impacting people?
- 4:51Speaker 5: Like?
- 4:51Speaker 1: It's what I'm doing every single day, leaving an impact
- 4:56Speaker 1: that people can really feel.
- 4:57Speaker 3: And I think when I'm out and about, I feel that.
- 4:58Speaker 1: And it's what I'm trying to to say in so
- 5:00Speaker 1: many words, because y'all know I can get wordy, is
- 5:03Speaker 1: that the motivation and the inspiration now is really felt
- 5:06Speaker 1: when I'm on the ground, when I'm outside with the folks.
- 5:08Speaker 1: So that's why I love bringing those conversations back here
- 5:11Speaker 1: to you guys.
- 5:12Speaker 3: When I do have them and get a chance to
- 5:14Speaker 3: experience them.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Because if I feel the motivation, the inspiration and the
- 5:17Speaker 1: push to keep going, keep dreaming, keep figuring all the
- 5:21Speaker 1: things out, I want you guys to feel that as
- 5:23Speaker 1: well too. I'm back, Baby, We are back on the
- 5:26Speaker 1: podcast Bring you the Latest. Let's get on into it. Oh,
- 5:32Speaker 1: talk about being outside and all of the things. Cheetah Girls,
- 5:36Speaker 1: the Cheetah Girls, and I don't know how depends on
- 5:40Speaker 1: how old you are if you're listening to this right now,
- 5:43Speaker 1: the Cheeta Girls movie is back, baby.
- 5:46Speaker 3: The Cheeter Girls are reassembling.
- 5:47Speaker 1: So Raven Simone, Disney Channel, Star Entrepreneur Icon. In my opinion,
- 5:53Speaker 1: Raven Simone announced that Cheeta Girls for is happening, so
- 5:57Speaker 1: it will be with Raven Simone in the original cast.
- 6:00Speaker 1: So yes, Raven Simone, Adrian Baylon, Sabrina, Brian Lynn, Whitfield Alter,
- 6:06Speaker 1: they are all coming back. At the time, Keighley is
- 6:09Speaker 1: not attached. Williams is not attached to the film. I
- 6:13Speaker 1: wasn't really surprised about that, to be honest, but it
- 6:15Speaker 1: would have been nice to see your end. I think
- 6:17Speaker 1: it would have been nice to see all the girls together.
- 6:18Speaker 1: But if you've been following, you know, her journey post
- 6:21Speaker 1: Cheetah Girls and post some of the Disney Channel stuff.
- 6:25Speaker 1: You know, there have been some hiccups there, so so yeah,
- 6:28Speaker 1: but anyway, the movie is coming back. It's going to
- 6:31Speaker 1: be called The Cheetah Girls Next Gin and it was
- 6:37Speaker 1: officially greenlit right as Raven Simone broke the news. So
- 6:41Speaker 1: the storyline for the film is picking up right when
- 6:45Speaker 1: the Cheetah Girls, Galeria who's played by Raven Simone and
- 6:48Speaker 1: Chanell who's played by Adrian Bailon, they have kids and
- 6:53Speaker 1: their daughters, Faith, who was new to the franchise, and
- 6:57Speaker 1: her three friends traveled Africa to volunteer at a wildfire
- 7:00Speaker 1: wildfire sanctuary. At a wildfire sanctuary. Now along the way
- 7:05Speaker 1: of all of this volunteering and the traveling, the four
- 7:07Speaker 1: girls test their friendship, find their voice, and discover the
- 7:11Speaker 1: true Cheetah Girl spirit as they preserve and ultimately take
- 7:15Speaker 1: the stage as the new Cheetah Girl. So this is
- 7:18Speaker 1: Raven Simone's second return to Disney Channel as one of
- 7:22Speaker 1: her previous characters. You guys will remember she did Raven's Home.
- 7:27Speaker 1: I think it was like, yeah, it was five or
- 7:29Speaker 1: six seasons. It was six seasons of Raven's Home in
- 7:32Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, and that went on from twenty seventeen to
- 7:35Speaker 1: about twenty twenty three, and that was a spin off
- 7:39Speaker 1: of that So Raven, which is another archives show that
- 7:42Speaker 1: is just like the essence of a lot of our childhoods.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Like the Unks are so excited because this weekend jay
- 7:49Speaker 1: Z is in New York. He got the three shows
- 7:51Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium. It's gonna be lit, Okay. But when
- 7:55Speaker 1: I see them get excited and they talking about laying
- 7:57Speaker 1: they outfits out and can't wait the same the songs
- 8:00Speaker 1: and all that, I get it. But you know, we
- 8:03Speaker 1: encountered jay Z, like we didn't grow up on him
- 8:06Speaker 1: because the Yunks is old, Okay, we encountered him eventually
- 8:10Speaker 1: later in our lives and through lessons and through interviews
- 8:13Speaker 1: and through the love of entertainment and hip hop and
- 8:14Speaker 1: all the things. But I understand what it's like to
- 8:17Speaker 1: grow up on something because let me tell you this,
- 8:19Speaker 1: there are two moments in its last two weeks that
- 8:21Speaker 1: made me realize what staple feeling in moments from youth
- 8:25Speaker 1: and impact really are in entertainment.
- 8:28Speaker 3: And it gave me small things.
- 8:29Speaker 1: Right, like you don't gotta be solving some of the
- 8:32Speaker 1: biggest world problems. Sometimes it's just putting a good feeling
- 8:35Speaker 1: and a comfort feeling in somebody's heart that will last forever.
- 8:37Speaker 3: And I know that's what hip hop and music does
- 8:39Speaker 3: for people.
- 8:39Speaker 1: But let me tell you all about the two moments
- 8:41Speaker 1: when I went to the BT Awards and Lauren Hill
- 8:43Speaker 1: was honored and they.
- 8:45Speaker 3: Sung Joyful, Joyful from Sister Act two.
- 8:48Speaker 1: I used to sing that movie down you could, I
- 8:50Speaker 1: tell me I was not in that movie. That was
- 8:52Speaker 1: one of the like I remember watching and singing along
- 8:55Speaker 1: with that movie and seeing all those black kids on
- 8:57Speaker 1: the screen in Lauren Hill and being like, y ooh,
- 8:59Speaker 1: this is dope, like rap hip hop is in a movie.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Like at a young age, I understood why the crossover
- 9:05Speaker 1: of that was so phenomenal and so fire and just
- 9:08Speaker 1: how big that movie was. And then the Cheetah Girls
- 9:10Speaker 1: Disney Channel and seeing these young black girls, it was
- 9:13Speaker 1: almost like the feeling of Mosha, Like seeing these young
- 9:16Speaker 1: black girls in this you know, mainstream pop culture space
- 9:19Speaker 1: and you know, having a good time telling stories, make
- 9:22Speaker 1: your friends laugh and singing, dancing and learning all the
- 9:24Speaker 1: songs and singing along with them.
- 9:27Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it. It hit home.
- 9:30Speaker 1: And I know a lot of y'all probably like, oh,
- 9:32Speaker 1: that's about the Cheeta girls, Lauren. It's one of them things.
- 9:35Speaker 1: If you know, you know, ain't nothing for you I
- 9:37Speaker 1: can do if you don't know, if you know, you know.
- 9:40Speaker 3: So I'm excited to see that.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm excited too to just see the world, the
- 9:45Speaker 1: world's reaction once it actually drops. There was a big
- 9:48Speaker 1: reaction when Raving someone made the announcement, and she had
- 9:51Speaker 1: been trying for some years to just like stay in
- 9:54Speaker 1: contact with cast I remember she was doing like Instagram
- 9:57Speaker 1: lives with some people and you know what I mean,
- 9:59Speaker 1: we we've been waiting on these things and now and
- 10:02Speaker 1: finally here. So there's that. Speaking of the girls being
- 10:07Speaker 1: outside our sisters. Over at the Poor Minds podcast, Lex
- 10:12Speaker 1: Andrea sat down with Shannon Sharp on Club Shasha. First
- 10:15Speaker 1: of all, I'm really proud of them, I do you know,
- 10:19Speaker 1: in this podcast space, I'm always honest with you guys
- 10:22Speaker 1: about the fact that we are on a journey, like.
- 10:24Speaker 5: We are.
- 10:26Speaker 1: A little over our first year in the podcasting game
- 10:29Speaker 1: and learning you know, us as a community.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Me y'all, the low Riders, the low Rider family.
- 10:36Speaker 1: So I love watching other podcasters build out and elevate
- 10:39Speaker 1: and just see how they maneuver in business. And you
- 10:42Speaker 1: guys know, I did Poor Mind's live show here in
- 10:45Speaker 1: New York when they came. Great experience, but I was
- 10:48Speaker 1: there just watching them and see how like seeing how
- 10:51Speaker 1: they you know, brought things from the podcast onto the
- 10:54Speaker 1: live stage, and how production went down, and how people
- 10:58Speaker 1: like I mean people knew everything down to the slogans
- 11:00Speaker 1: that they open and close their podcast with with. And
- 11:04Speaker 1: being a person who has always loved talk shows and
- 11:06Speaker 1: wanted a talk show and we got the latest, I
- 11:11Speaker 1: understand that, like I understand the tagline, I understand the marketing,
- 11:14Speaker 1: and I understand the branding around that. But to see
- 11:17Speaker 1: it in real life, like to be listening to a
- 11:20Speaker 1: podcast for some time and to watch it grow than
- 11:23Speaker 1: to see in real life, it's just beautiful to see.
- 11:25Speaker 1: And now these girls are on this press run, you know,
- 11:28Speaker 1: talking about the podcast in our lives, and what I
- 11:30Speaker 1: love the most is that these were two regular girls,
- 11:33Speaker 1: college graduates, fine ass girls who just chose the dream,
- 11:38Speaker 1: got together and were consistent and figured it out. And
- 11:40Speaker 1: they talked about that on the episode and in the
- 11:43Speaker 1: motivation that that gives them. This is such a I
- 11:45Speaker 1: told y'all, I come off of these trips and all
- 11:48Speaker 1: these outings very motivated and inspired. This is such a
- 11:51Speaker 1: motivation motivational episode. Let's tay could listen to Lex and
- 11:55Speaker 1: Dref from Poor Minds talk about just the building of
- 11:58Speaker 1: their podcast over the years and being a regular girls
- 12:01Speaker 1: I popped out to do it.
- 12:02Speaker 4: How has this been amazing?
- 12:03Speaker 6: Like, I feel like he's been an instrumental part of
- 12:05Speaker 6: our career because he kind of gave us the opportunity,
- 12:09Speaker 6: you know what I mean, when we were still filming
- 12:11Speaker 6: at my apartment, before we were ever even in the studio,
- 12:15Speaker 6: he pulled up to my apartment.
- 12:17Speaker 4: And recorded with us, yeah, living room.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 12:22Speaker 5: And then like a.
- 12:22Speaker 6: Few years later, the show grown, the show grown, the
- 12:29Speaker 6: show had grew a little bit more, and then he
- 12:32Speaker 6: you know, offered for us to come on eighty five South.
- 12:34Speaker 6: So we went on eighty five South and that really
- 12:36Speaker 6: like catapulted our show to another level because I think
- 12:39Speaker 6: that episode got like a million views in like two
- 12:41Speaker 6: or three days. Yeah, and so that helped us get
- 12:45Speaker 6: a lot more viewership. And then they ended up asking
- 12:48Speaker 6: us did we want to sign to them because they
- 12:50Speaker 6: were trying to start a management company and we were
- 12:52Speaker 6: going to be the first people that they signed, so
- 12:54Speaker 6: they signed us.
- 12:55Speaker 4: We was kind of like the.
- 12:56Speaker 6: Guinea pigs a little bit, but it ended up working
- 12:59Speaker 6: out amazing lead and Carlos and eighty five Souths have
- 13:03Speaker 6: just been such a blessing in our lives with the show.
- 13:06Speaker 7: They really cleaned up our business too, Like we didn't
- 13:08Speaker 7: know what we're doing, what we were doing, but they
- 13:10Speaker 7: have taught us so much. And like we were getting
- 13:13Speaker 7: so many no's, and Carlos was the one yes, and
- 13:17Speaker 7: it's crazy because all them nose came back like, hey,
- 13:20Speaker 7: when that finishes up, y'all can come over here. We're
- 13:22Speaker 7: like no, yeah, so's and we're proof that all you
- 13:26Speaker 7: need is one yes. I'm cool with all these noes
- 13:29Speaker 7: because I know once I get that one yes, now this.
- 13:32Speaker 1: One, this, this next topic. Because the interview was like
- 13:35Speaker 1: they talked it was a three hour long interview, a
- 13:38Speaker 1: little bit over three hours, honestly, almost like three and
- 13:40Speaker 1: a half hours they talked about or was it two
- 13:44Speaker 1: and a half child. It was a long interview, but
- 13:46Speaker 1: it didn't feel long because it felt like you were
- 13:49Speaker 1: just listening to them go down the line of like
- 13:51Speaker 1: topics and stuff like that on their show. So and
- 13:55Speaker 1: Shanton Sharp was smart. So in the beginning of the
- 13:57Speaker 1: interview they opened up. They talk a lot about their
- 13:58Speaker 1: journey themselves, how they how they formed the podcast, got
- 14:01Speaker 1: the business going, their mindsets, so it really helped you
- 14:04Speaker 1: understand them because then they went into their takes on
- 14:06Speaker 1: different topics. Right, so they get into Daphanie Joy and
- 14:11Speaker 1: if you guys are not familiar with who that is,
- 14:13Speaker 1: that is the mother of fifty cents youngest son, Seer
- 14:16Speaker 1: sire Seer. She was in a relationship with Diddy and
- 14:20Speaker 1: they're more recently, not too long ago.
- 14:23Speaker 3: Was a sex tape that leaked of her and Diddy doing.
- 14:26Speaker 1: One of the freak offs that we've heard so much
- 14:27Speaker 1: about with the red lights with a male escort, went
- 14:31Speaker 1: super viral. And now Daphanie Joy has been on this
- 14:34Speaker 1: press run it's like business. I don't know what the
- 14:37Speaker 1: business she's in, like if that's really booming, because she's
- 14:40Speaker 1: the only fans girl. She says that it is, But
- 14:42Speaker 1: she's been on press runs that I don't think would
- 14:44Speaker 1: have been possible without that sex tape being posted and
- 14:46Speaker 1: the boar minds girls got into that. Let's say listen,
- 14:49Speaker 1: women are always judged more harshly when it comes to
- 14:52Speaker 1: anything that we do. A black woman who was in
- 14:55Speaker 1: that situation wouldn't be on a press run right now,
- 14:58Speaker 1: if I'm being honest.
- 15:00Speaker 4: People wouldn't be invited her on the show. They'll be like,
- 15:03Speaker 4: she's a slack. Yeah.
- 15:05Speaker 7: I think this just goes to show what we deal
- 15:07Speaker 7: with as black women, you know.
- 15:10Speaker 4: And this is no shade to Daphne.
- 15:11Speaker 7: I think when you have a moment, you take it
- 15:13Speaker 7: and that's what you want to you know, she's on
- 15:15Speaker 7: Cam Newton podcast.
- 15:18Speaker 4: That's an ad.
- 15:19Speaker 7: I know an ad when I see one. I'm not
- 15:21Speaker 7: mad at her, that's what you're supposed to do. But
- 15:23Speaker 7: seeing the.
- 15:23Speaker 4: Reaction of people the way they treat her.
- 15:25Speaker 7: Even there ain't no tapes outside of me and Drea
- 15:27Speaker 7: doing nothing, but the way people act towards.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Us, just because we talk about.
- 15:32Speaker 7: Our dating experience, yes, and we get treated like, oh
- 15:36Speaker 7: my gosh, you would have thought that we killed somebody's
- 15:39Speaker 7: mother or something like our fun they moment even with
- 15:42Speaker 7: like how the way they treat making a stallion, you know,
- 15:45Speaker 7: because of her lyrics or things like that, and it's
- 15:48Speaker 7: like they treat us like we are just the worst thing.
- 15:51Speaker 4: Ever, then you have this woman who has a sex
- 15:53Speaker 4: safe she getting not one but two niggas. Ain't no,
- 15:57Speaker 4: that's what you like to do, whatever the situation may be.
- 15:59Speaker 7: But they're like, oh, you see how feminine she is
- 16:01Speaker 7: and how soft and how beautiful and all this and that.
- 16:03Speaker 7: It's just like, are y'all for real right now? Y'all
- 16:07Speaker 7: dad are But this is like I said, no shade
- 16:10Speaker 7: of her. It's very it's just interesting. Yeah, it's interesting.
- 16:14Speaker 5: Arry, go ahead.
- 16:17Speaker 6: I was just gonna say, like, I feel like we
- 16:19Speaker 6: haven't seen a black woman be in a situation like
- 16:22Speaker 6: that and get the same type of attention and know the.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Right Well, she ain't gonna become no billionaire if that's
- 16:26Speaker 2: what you're asking, Well, she said.
- 16:28Speaker 7: She was like when people are comparing her to Kim
- 16:30Speaker 7: Kardashi and she was like, I love that, That's what
- 16:33Speaker 7: she said.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Well, I hope you get a product line. I hope
- 16:36Speaker 2: you get a skincare line and come out.
- 16:38Speaker 5: With some uh skims of what it skims and.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Spain and I guess they call it dance.
- 16:46Speaker 6: What is it is crazy.
- 16:52Speaker 4: To be like no.
- 16:56Speaker 1: Completely, I said that about the conversations they had, you know,
- 17:00Speaker 1: even I mean and mind you their podcast is like
- 17:03Speaker 1: it's just like girl talk honestly, Like they mixing trend
- 17:06Speaker 1: to topics and stuff like that. But it really feels
- 17:08Speaker 1: like you just with your homegirls having a good time,
- 17:09Speaker 1: having a good conversation. But they do get into relationship
- 17:12Speaker 1: stuff and sexual things that they're not afraid of that
- 17:14Speaker 1: at all.
- 17:15Speaker 3: And they're very beautiful girls. The bodies be boughdy in. Okay.
- 17:18Speaker 3: I love the poor mindes girls.
- 17:20Speaker 1: I love Lexandrea because in real life they're real girls
- 17:24Speaker 1: like and y'all like, what does that mean? Gott to
- 17:26Speaker 1: clarify that in twenty twenty six, I don't mean none
- 17:28Speaker 1: the crazy stuff. What I mean by that is like
- 17:31Speaker 1: it's not like their caricatures of themselves, like in real life.
- 17:36Speaker 1: They're fun. They're girls girls. They like they have a
- 17:38Speaker 1: good time. They're like a good key key, a good drink,
- 17:40Speaker 1: a good you know. I love girls who are like ambitious,
- 17:44Speaker 1: get to the money, got their brands together, can figure
- 17:46Speaker 1: it out, but also cute fashion, can pop out, have
- 17:50Speaker 1: a good time, then get back to the business.
- 17:52Speaker 3: Really like the essence of brown gar grinding.
- 17:54Speaker 1: Is that so the way sometimes that I see people
- 17:58Speaker 1: react to their podcasts talk about them, I'm like, that's
- 18:01Speaker 1: so insane to me because some of our biggest influential
- 18:05Speaker 1: celebrities started like everything with sex space and I know
- 18:10Speaker 1: people instantly bring up like Kim Kardashian in this situation
- 18:13Speaker 1: like this, and I know that in the beginning, Kim
- 18:16Speaker 1: Kardashian wasn't. It wasn't what it was now, Like I
- 18:20Speaker 1: remember Kanye having a goal off on people because he
- 18:23Speaker 1: would be invited to different fashion things and they wouldn't
- 18:26Speaker 1: want her in a room because she was the reality
- 18:28Speaker 1: started with the sex tape, but she was able to
- 18:31Speaker 1: overcome it and build really, really really big business from it.
- 18:33Speaker 1: And when I look at podcasts like Call Her Daddy
- 18:37Speaker 1: and things of that nature, I compare to like conversations
- 18:41Speaker 1: that people have about also the horrible decisions podcasts as
- 18:44Speaker 1: well too, which is also like girls talk very they
- 18:47Speaker 1: get sexual. There are a lot more sexual than a
- 18:49Speaker 1: poor minds, it's honestly, but there's a thing there, and
- 18:54Speaker 1: I think a lot of times it's black when when
- 18:56Speaker 1: we point out certain things that we feel within ourselves
- 19:00Speaker 1: that like it's unspoken word, like it's you don't even
- 19:02Speaker 1: got to say it amongst us, we just know. But
- 19:05Speaker 1: when you say it out loud, people hate to hear
- 19:07Speaker 1: you express what you're actually going through, as if you
- 19:11Speaker 1: don't understand what was happening to you in real time.
- 19:14Speaker 3: Right.
- 19:14Speaker 1: So, Yeah, they got a lot of pushback for this clip,
- 19:18Speaker 1: and I'm glad that they stood ten toes down on it.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Like I saw a lex post in response to it,
- 19:23Speaker 1: Like I knew that y'all was going to be calling
- 19:24Speaker 1: me everything but a child of God once its interview dropped.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Interview was great though, in my opinion.
- 19:28Speaker 1: They also talked about women having standards and how people
- 19:31Speaker 1: try to make women feel bad for having standards about
- 19:34Speaker 1: who and how they date. That's saicularten.
- 19:37Speaker 2: So you said, you guys, like when you were younger,
- 19:39Speaker 2: you felt a sense of entitlement that you were entitled
- 19:42Speaker 2: to a guys that have a certain level.
- 19:44Speaker 5: Yeah, now do you no longer feel that way? Is
- 19:47Speaker 5: there a.
- 19:48Speaker 2: Certain number that you feel a guy should make or
- 19:50Speaker 2: need to make in order, because like you said, you
- 19:53Speaker 2: guys have your own now, so you don't have to
- 19:55Speaker 2: accept anything.
- 19:57Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel.
- 19:58Speaker 6: Like we just at least need to be equally old.
- 20:01Speaker 6: You need to at least be making what I'm making
- 20:04Speaker 6: are better? Yeah, fag So I need a big daddy.
- 20:13Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, that's what I'm looking for.
- 20:18Speaker 5: So I guess with that. Ain't nobody splitting no bills?
- 20:22Speaker 3: You know?
- 20:24Speaker 4: No?
- 20:25Speaker 6: I mean, I will say this. I used to say that,
- 20:27Speaker 6: but I do feel like once you get to a
- 20:28Speaker 6: certain level of money, who really cares. That's why I
- 20:30Speaker 6: don't think rich people have conversations about that.
- 20:33Speaker 4: I ain't rich.
- 20:33Speaker 6: He don't think rich couples like when the woman is
- 20:36Speaker 6: making money and the man is making a lot of money,
- 20:39Speaker 6: I don't think they're arguing about who paying a.
- 20:41Speaker 7: Light view literally, like, I think those conversations about splitting
- 20:45Speaker 7: the bills are so like.
- 20:47Speaker 6: I think it's for people who need to sweep the bills, right,
- 20:50Speaker 6: And that's okay, there's nothing wrong with splitting the bills.
- 20:52Speaker 6: But the type of lifestyle that I imagine myself whenever I'm
- 20:54Speaker 6: heard and I'm having care, yeah, that's not what I've
- 20:57Speaker 6: ever imagined for myself. It's not gonna be like, oh
- 20:58Speaker 6: my gosh, I paid it this month, you pay just
- 21:01Speaker 6: take it out the pie.
- 21:02Speaker 4: There's a lot more where that came. Were gonna have
- 21:04Speaker 4: a joint of Grandma?
- 21:05Speaker 5: Oh we are? Oh yeah yeah yeah, we gonna have
- 21:07Speaker 5: a yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Okay, I
- 21:11Speaker 5: just check it, just like it on the same pain
- 21:13Speaker 5: because this ain't no gumbo.
- 21:21Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep the shrimp and over over here.
- 21:27Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah yeah, I feel you. Yeah, everything a
- 21:30Speaker 4: gonna be in one pie. I agree.
- 21:32Speaker 2: But what happened because it seems to me and I
- 21:35Speaker 2: could be wrong, and if I'm wrong, guys correct me.
- 21:37Speaker 5: Whatever happened to growing with a man?
- 21:39Speaker 2: A man doesn't have anything, he's planning, and you watch
- 21:42Speaker 2: him and y'all grow to together. It seems now everybody
- 21:45Speaker 2: wants already already grown the fruit. I can just go
- 21:48Speaker 2: pick the apples or the pears or whatever the case,
- 21:51Speaker 2: the fruit already.
- 21:52Speaker 5: Nobody wants to grow anymore.
- 21:54Speaker 6: I do think that that's a little messed up that
- 21:56Speaker 6: people have that mentality these days.
- 21:58Speaker 4: But I don't know, as a one in my thirties.
- 22:01Speaker 6: You should be built, you should be grown already, like
- 22:04Speaker 6: because I feel like, what have you been doing all
- 22:06Speaker 6: this time?
- 22:07Speaker 3: At thirty five?
- 22:08Speaker 6: Like and just saying if I'm dating somebody that's the
- 22:10Speaker 6: same age as me, Like, what have you been doing
- 22:12Speaker 6: all this time to where I.
- 22:14Speaker 3: Need to work with you while you build.
- 22:18Speaker 6: I think that when women are in their twenties, that's
- 22:21Speaker 6: unreally stick because y'all are both trying to figure things out. Yes,
- 22:25Speaker 6: and I'm not saying that we still can't grow together.
- 22:27Speaker 6: And yeah, you should still, but you should have something
- 22:30Speaker 6: that you already coming with. I shouldn't just be over
- 22:33Speaker 6: here like okay, well he got to get it together.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Let me just say nothing.
- 22:37Speaker 2: I don't think nobody should be able to get it together.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Look if we right out of college or you know, hey,
- 22:42Speaker 2: I'm trying to grow this right here.
- 22:43Speaker 5: Okay, this is what we try to do.
- 22:45Speaker 2: But I agree, I mean, but sometimes it's really hard
- 22:48Speaker 2: because sometimes it takes people longer than others.
- 22:51Speaker 5: Sometimes, where some people can figure.
- 22:52Speaker 2: It out twenty two, some people maybe at twenty five,
- 22:55Speaker 2: some people might take them thirty. It's kind of like maturing.
- 22:58Speaker 2: Some kids mature a lot sooner than others. Yeah, if
- 23:01Speaker 2: something like with them, he's mature at thirteen, fourteen, and
- 23:03Speaker 2: here you are twenty five and you still ain't mature.
- 23:06Speaker 6: Yeah, And I do I think it's different when you're
- 23:08Speaker 6: growing with a person that you've been with for a lot. Yeah,
- 23:10Speaker 6: even if something is to happen, because you have situations
- 23:13Speaker 6: where a woman is with a man and he's doing amazing,
- 23:15Speaker 6: and yeah, something ends up happening in his life altering,
- 23:18Speaker 6: and then y'all are not in the same financial space
- 23:21Speaker 6: that y'all once were in, and you gotta, you know,
- 23:23Speaker 6: be there for him while he gets it back, get
- 23:25Speaker 6: back on the seat, you can get it back to
- 23:26Speaker 6: where it was. I think that's okay, and that's understandable,
- 23:30Speaker 6: especially in a marriage.
- 23:31Speaker 7: Yeah, I just feel like when it comes to these
- 23:34Speaker 7: money conversations, they tough.
- 23:36Speaker 4: It really is extremely interesting.
- 23:39Speaker 7: But I also feel like when you're in a relationship
- 23:42Speaker 7: like being like this ride or not everything like they
- 23:45Speaker 7: try to put on black women, they make us feel
- 23:47Speaker 7: so bad for it.
- 23:48Speaker 4: But again, I'm about to be thirty seven.
- 23:50Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, I'm not saying that you have to be
- 23:53Speaker 7: worth you know, a million dollars, but also.
- 23:55Speaker 2: You gotta have some money coming somebody got to be
- 23:57Speaker 2: they gotta be worth the these to be.
- 23:58Speaker 5: Who you fooling?
- 23:59Speaker 6: Well, you see who said that and who need Okay,
- 24:04Speaker 6: but this is what I'm saying.
- 24:05Speaker 7: Though, you have to have some money coming in, because
- 24:10Speaker 7: my thing is, we are in this age where everybody's like, oh,
- 24:12Speaker 7: I want to start from the bottom and I want
- 24:13Speaker 7: to grind.
- 24:14Speaker 4: I want to go get it.
- 24:15Speaker 7: Hey, when I quit my job when poor Minds was
- 24:18Speaker 7: taking off, they literally had to force me out that job.
- 24:21Speaker 4: They were like, you can't.
- 24:22Speaker 7: Be here no more, you don't have the time. And
- 24:23Speaker 7: I was like, I want my consistent shape. Yes, y'all
- 24:27Speaker 7: have to follow your dreams and go to work. Nobody
- 24:31Speaker 7: that's not supporting themselves. So I do think that, like, yeah,
- 24:34Speaker 7: you can ride or die with somebody or whatever you
- 24:36Speaker 7: want to do, hold it down, but y'all need to
- 24:37Speaker 7: be making some money.
- 24:38Speaker 5: Yeah, but we need to be riding full times.
- 24:45Speaker 4: I died a.
- 24:45Speaker 1: Lot and shout out to the people out here doing
- 24:47Speaker 1: all the things. Like honestly, like I that is, I
- 24:52Speaker 1: tell my male friends all the time. I admire men
- 24:55Speaker 1: because men are really good about setting their boundaries when
- 24:59Speaker 1: it came to dating, relationships, friendships work. They set their
- 25:03Speaker 1: boundaries well and they stick to it. They compartment compartmentalize
- 25:09Speaker 1: and they do like I feel like women compartmentalize too,
- 25:11Speaker 1: But sometimes it's more for protection. Maybe men do it
- 25:14Speaker 1: for protection as well too, but the way that men
- 25:16Speaker 1: do it it allows them to like manipulate and get
- 25:19Speaker 1: the best out of every any situation. And I don't
- 25:22Speaker 1: always feel like for I'm just speak for myself as
- 25:25Speaker 1: a woman. I don't always feel like me compartmentalizing does
- 25:28Speaker 1: that for me. I do feel like I know very
- 25:30Speaker 1: well how to work a room and work a situation,
- 25:33Speaker 1: but I don't feel like my boundaries are as strong
- 25:37Speaker 1: sometimes when it comes to certain things like work, like
- 25:41Speaker 1: relationship boundaries as I've seen men in my life be,
- 25:46Speaker 1: and how beneficial that is for them, Like even a
- 25:48Speaker 1: conversation of like like they were talking about in relationships
- 25:51Speaker 1: right like what they want and not being allowed to
- 25:52Speaker 1: say that, but take it back to the workplace, Like
- 25:57Speaker 1: I think men in the workplace know when they're not
- 26:00Speaker 1: getting what they deserve and they're not afraid to say
- 26:02Speaker 1: it right in the air and nip it in the butt.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Let's get straight to it. Women, it's like we have
- 26:06Speaker 1: to navigate the politics. Like there's so much politics and
- 26:09Speaker 1: so many different compartments of our life, Like there's politics
- 26:13Speaker 1: in dating and finding your person.
- 26:15Speaker 3: You can't be too much. But you don't want to
- 26:17Speaker 3: be belittled.
- 26:18Speaker 1: You can't act like you own a table and you
- 26:22Speaker 1: brought the table even though you might have. Because you
- 26:25Speaker 1: want a man and his eve and all the things
- 26:27Speaker 1: to feel good. But at the same time, you want
- 26:29Speaker 1: to feel good about yourself. And I've always heard people
- 26:31Speaker 1: say the right work situation, the right man shoot, even
- 26:36Speaker 1: taking it out of relationships like boyfriend girlfriend girlfriend girlfriend, boyfriend, boyfriend, whatever,
- 26:41Speaker 1: taking it out of that, just taking it even to friendships.
- 26:43Speaker 1: I've always heard people say people will only treat you
- 26:46Speaker 1: how you allow them, and people will only treat you
- 26:49Speaker 1: how you feel like you deserve to be treated. But
- 26:52Speaker 1: a lot of times as a woman, you won't allow
- 26:56Speaker 1: certain things. Once we get to the point where we
- 26:58Speaker 1: are finally standing on the boundaries or you know that
- 27:01Speaker 1: you deserve certain things, you'll be working toward it. You'll
- 27:03Speaker 1: be talking about it, and you still got to play
- 27:05Speaker 1: the politics. You still gotta dance, you still got to
- 27:07Speaker 1: play the game. Sometimes it's just different for us. I
- 27:10Speaker 1: make that very clear with all of the men that
- 27:12Speaker 1: I work with all the time, especially because my job
- 27:16Speaker 1: is so vocal and there's a lot of times where
- 27:18Speaker 1: you know I'm in different rooms and men are like,
- 27:21Speaker 1: you should speak out about this. You got the platform,
- 27:23Speaker 1: and I'm like, you can do that as a man.
- 27:26Speaker 1: But for me, even if I do do it, I
- 27:28Speaker 1: have to sit and think through so many different things
- 27:31Speaker 1: that men don't think about, like the sensitivity of things.
- 27:36Speaker 1: Men think about that completely different and they have the
- 27:38Speaker 1: privilege to, like child is a whole lot that goes
- 27:41Speaker 1: into it.
- 27:42Speaker 3: But this interview I thought was.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Very It was a great interview, a great way to
- 27:47Speaker 1: interview personalities because it was an interview and we learned
- 27:51Speaker 1: a lot about them, but we also got to hear
- 27:53Speaker 1: and see them do their thing in real time.
- 27:55Speaker 3: It was literally like a crossover episode.
- 27:56Speaker 1: It felt like the Poor Mind's podcast took over Upshase
- 28:00Speaker 1: shape for a crossover episode. And that's eventually how they
- 28:02Speaker 1: ended up titling the interview when they posted it, probably
- 28:05Speaker 1: because they felt that way. So shout out to them.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Make sure you guys going to check that out. It
- 28:09Speaker 1: is now live on the Club Chase Share YouTube Channel
