It gets no better than this.
You are now in June to perspective with the big bang.
Speaker 2Let's get you never shrink yourself to make others feel comfortable on your magic.
Welcome to perspective, Bank Today, I got my dog in the building, Drell.
Speaker 1What's up, Quinn?
Speaker 3What's up?
Bank?
Speaker 1How you feeling?
Speaker 3I'm good?
How are you?
Speaker 1First?
I want to congratulations on everything.
Speaker 4Y'all killing it, thank you, killing thank you.
I feel like you know you've seen us since the beginning stage, for.
Speaker 1Sure, y'all killing it you.
Speaker 2But I like to check on your mental first though, Where you at, Where you at mentally?
Speaker 3M I'm good.
Mentally, I'm good.
Speaker 4I just think as things change and you grow, you have to like roll with the punches.
So I think in a lot of ways, when poor minds were smaller, it was easier, you know, Now that things.
Speaker 3Are getting bigger.
Speaker 4Sometimes it's just a lie, you know, having to deal with like people's opinions and all of that typical stuff.
But other than that, I'm good.
I feel very blessed.
I feel very blessed, highly favored, you know.
Sometimes yeah, because it's hard not to do you not read them at all at all, so you just have people handle that for you.
Speaker 1Nah, I just don't read just don't read it.
Speaker 2I just don't read them because I know at the end of the day it can affect me because I care.
Speaker 4Oh And it's like when I was younger, I didn't care.
Now it's I'm getting older.
I'm like, oh my god, am I becoming more empathetic more sympathetic, Like.
Speaker 3I really be caring.
Speaker 1Sometimes you'll be.
Speaker 4Saying and I feel like I still try to respond, same thing with lex because we want to always seem personable.
But it's like, realistically, when you get to a certain point, it's hard to respond to everybody anyway, interacting game like interacting keeping up the in game.
So if you want to see personable, make people feel like, oh, she responded to me, she cared about what I said.
But on the downside, you see the bad communis too, because obviously it's more good than bad.
Speaker 2But but we as people will respond to the bad before we respond to the good.
Speaker 3And now, why are we like that?
I don't know, why are we like that?
Speaker 4Like you go go to that one bad community, you will see ninety other good ones, but that's the one that if they get.
Speaker 1You going, that's crazy.
Background.
Where are you from?
How you come?
Where you going?
Speaker 4I'm from Houston, Texas, Okay, I'm born and raised.
I lived there until I was twenty five.
Then I moved to Atlanta.
So yeah, that's where I'm from.
I love Houston.
I still go back home all the time.
My whole family still lived there, all of my friends.
Well, I did live in Nakadochi's, Texas for four years.
It's like a real, real country It's a real country town.
It's like two hours outside of Houston, and I went to college there.
Speaker 2But that's crazy everybody moving to Houston.
You moved to Atlanta.
Speaker 4But you know what, I feel like, I moved to Atlanta before the big boom of everybody moving to Houston.
Yeah, because I feel like that's happening right now.
Speaker 3You know, I've been in.
Speaker 4I've been in Atlanta since twenty sixteen, so I'm almost a big Oh.
Speaker 1Yeah now twenty sixteen one more.
Yeah.
Yeah, you got your peach exactly peach.
Yeah.
Speaker 2So what's some things that like growing up in Houston that you just took along with you on your journey, Like like your morals, Like what influenced you morally?
Speaker 1From Houston.
Speaker 4I think growing up in the South in general, it just teached you to have good manners, you know, and in that Southern hospitality that's a real thing.
I feel like I carry that no matter where I'm going.
No matter where I go, I feel like I'm super gracious, I'm super nice no matter what.
It's so funny because I always meet people and they're like, you so down to earthing, you was so humble.
I feel like I'm gonna always be that way because I'm low key.
I mean, I'm from the country, like Houston is coming up now, but I mean when I was growing up it was very much country.
Speaker 3So I feel like just.
Speaker 4Being down to ears, having good manners, caring about people, all things that I grew up.
Speaker 1So what was you?
Speaker 2I asked Lexus to what was your dream to be as a child, Like, did you dream to be an entertainer?
Speaker 1What was your dream?
No?
Speaker 4I didn't, actually, Like I wanted to be a psychiatrist at one point, and then I also wanted to be a lawyer growing up.
I feel like entertainment came later down the line, if I'm really keeping it one honey with you.
When I went to college, that was my major psychology, and I was like, oh.
Speaker 3These shits too hard.
Speaker 4Actually, I'm about to get into entertain because I would always run into people and they would be like, you have such a great personality, and I'm like, you know what, let me tap into that and switch my major over the mass communication.
Speaker 3So that's what I did.
Speaker 2But you're still doing it though, You're still doing psychology.
Like even though y'all, even though yeah, even though y'all have fun, people are still growing with y'all, you know what I'm saying, Like, especially the girls that watch y'all, the people that watch y'all, they singing and they learning too at the same time, like because they learned from my hour our mishaps.
You know what I'm saying, if somebody wants to start a podcast.
Even when you said by you just saying that just because you went to school for one thing, your destioninon was to do this.
Speaker 3To do something else, Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1Yep.
How so you say basically your journey just took you.
Speaker 4Well, you know, I changed my major when I was in college, so it was psychology yet first, and I had actually already had like college credits when I went to college, So It actually pushed me back when I changed it to mass communication because I was like, Okay, I think I want to get into entertainment, but I don't know what yet.
Speaker 3I thought.
Speaker 4I used to think I wanted to do radio.
So when I graduated from college, I actually interned at the radio station.
I don't know if you heard it in ninety seven nine to Bucks, it's pretty.
Speaker 3Popular here's yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 4So I interned there for a little bit with this radio personality out there.
Speaker 3His name is Kiyat.
Speaker 4He let me shadow him for like two months, and I was like, mmm, I don't really think radio is my thing.
Speaker 3So when I moved to Atlanta, I knew I.
Speaker 4Wanted to do something in entertainment, but I just wasn't sure exactly what it was.
And then when Lex ended up moving out here a year after I was living here and we started our YouTube channel and then we turned it into the podcast, I was like, Okay, I found my.
Speaker 2Niche Yeah, sir, did you have any moments where You're like, man, fuck, ain't for me?
Speaker 4Hell yeah, Because I'm an instant gratification type of person, and if I'm really keeping it real with you, I need to see the money where's the money, where's the residual?
Yeah, So like with podcasting, you know, I think, especially now, people see how lucrative it is.
They see how many people that are doing podcasts, that are making so much money, and everybody want to get into it.
Speaker 1Now.
Speaker 3When we started podcasting.
Speaker 4It really wasn't that many people doing it, and it was a slow grind to make money.
I mean, it's still a slow grind to make money, but it was a real slow grind back then.
So for the first two years that we were doing pour Minds, we ain't making no money.
And then I remember we finally got our first eighty six dollars check.
Speaker 3How much eighty six dollars?
But you couldn't tell me shit.
I was like, okay, we on, Yes, we finally getting somewhere.
But we had got our.
Speaker 4First eighty six dollars check from this ad company that we was working with, and they ended up firing us two months later because we was putting the ads in the wrong areas.
Speaker 3But it was dope.
I was like, Okay, now we owned something.
Speaker 4But I wanted to say fucking back then and the times were licks and I had our rough spots in our friendship too.
Speaker 2But yeah, that's why about to ask like how do y'all keep that?
Like, how do y'all I heard what she said, but how do y'all keep that balance?
Speaker 1Though?
A boys?
Speaker 3Staying friends?
Speaker 1Yeah, just staying friends and in business number one.
Speaker 4I think you have to really love your friend, you know what I mean, Because it's gonna be times where y'all don't see out of eye, but you have to look at them for who they are, not the stuff that they do, and understand that y'all gonna go through rough passes and it's a part of growing.
Speaker 3Like me and Lex been knowing.
Speaker 4You sure to since twenty fifteen, it's twenty twenty five, that's ten years.
Neither one of us are the same people that we were back when we first met.
So you have to understand people are gonna grow and people are gonna change.
And I think it also helped when you have a common goal.
One thing about her and I we both know where we want to go in life, and we both know that poor minds is a great catalyst to get us to where we're trying to go.
So with that in mind, no matter what we go through, we always keep it between us and we work through it because we know what the goalie.
Speaker 2So what you think, what you think the balance is what she bring that you don't bring, and what you bring and she don't bring to the whole dynamic.
Speaker 3Hmm.
Speaker 4What I think Lex bring is like she's that friend that you can go to and no matter what you're going through, and like she's gonna make you laugh, Like she gonna make it a lighthearty, silly moment.
You could be going through the worst shit ever, but like you have a conversation with her, you gonna forget about your problems.
And I feel like she does.
She's always doing that for me personally.
But I love the fact that she can shine her light on the world in the world can see that because I feel like she does that for a lot of people that she doesn't even know.
She toushes them in that way because they could be having the worst day ever.
They watch poor minds now they not even thinking about, you know, whatever it is that happened five minutes ago.
For me personally, I think I bring a lot of real perspectives.
Perspectives.
Yeah, I feel like I bring a lot of real sheet to the show.
Like I say, a lot of the things that most people be thinking they just the praise to say because of the back lass that they think that they're gonna get.
Speaker 3But everybody be thinking that sit but they're all balanced out.
Speaker 4And then I think we both have our moments, like I think Lex is more outwardly silly, but I think I'm pretty funny too and I'm witty, So I think it works and the balances.
Speaker 1So do you were you have a shot or your first in the beginning of the show, like.
Speaker 4Yeah, out of me and her, for sure, I was a little more.
I wouldn't stay shy just prior, like I was uncomfortable talking about myself and talking about my business publicly online.
That was just never something I really saw myself doing.
Even when I thought about myself being in media, I never thought about me talking about me or it being about like.
Speaker 3My life and focused on my life.
Speaker 4I thought, maybe more so I'm gonna be interviewing people, I'm gonna be talking to them about themselves.
So I think I had to get acclimated to being on camera, and then eventually I got more comfortable because I'm doing it with my friend and she makes me comfortable.
But it took some time.
Like if you go back and you look at the old episodes.
I definitely have grown Alike.
Speaker 1Oh not for sure, that's the name of the game.
Speaker 2Did you ever see yourself reaching, like you know how people be reaching, like trying, let me try this, just see if this working.
Speaker 1Let me try this.
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4Hell yeah, not necessarily in media, but I'm one of them people.
I've tried everything I went to I took last classes.
I thought I wanted to do last years.
At one point, I went to real estate school in Houston, and I thought I wanted to be a realtor.
Like I said, I have my bachelor's degree in mass communications.
Speaker 3I used to work in the clubs.
Speaker 4I think I took a nail class or something before.
Speaker 3Like, I literally have just done everything.
Speaker 4I've always been a person where the money here, Like if it's if it's a good idea and it's gonna make me some money, let me go ahead and try it out.
Speaker 1So you feel like it's your purpose now what you're doing.
Speaker 4I definitely think it's my purpose, but I feel like I stumbled on it on accident.
And sometimes that's how it is, and like.
Speaker 1Most of the time, because of the journey it ain't your plan.
Speaker 3It's not God's.
Speaker 1Let me see what else we got.
Speaker 4But that's why I feel like when things get rough, you always have to keep that in mind, that it's God's playing in our chores.
Speaker 1Fact, Paul, That's why I always tell people like, bro, if.
Speaker 2You ain't you can't worry and have faith at the same time.
Speaker 3You don't go together.
Speaker 2It don't go together.
So if you believe something gonna happen, why you worried about it?
And now it's always good to strategize and plan out, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1But whatever for you gonna be for you.
Speaker 3For sure.
Faith and fear don't live in the same house.
Speaker 1Big facts.
Let me see what's behind the scenes.
I ain't right these questions behind the scenes.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, yeah, what's some some shit that behind the scenes, Like if somebody was trying to get into a podcast that they wouldn't know goals on, like just being a podcast, just being in media.
Speaker 3Period, something that goes on behind the scenes like that.
Speaker 1People wouldn't even know, like you know, good or bad?
Speaker 4Like who just meeting a lot of different people with a lot of different personalities and just always feeling like you have to make everybody feel comfortable.
Speaker 3I think that's something that Licks and I do really well.
Speaker 4We make people whenever they come on a college, people from all different walks of life, just feeling comfortable no matter what your personality is, because you're going to meet people that you're necessarily.
Speaker 3Not gonna always align with or get along with.
Speaker 4But as a professional, you still have to do your job, and you still have to sit there and make your work and not let the audience know what's going on.
So just for meeting people who you might not always miss week, because we definitely did it before, did.
Speaker 2You No, for sure, did y'all ever did you ever want a speak to your person?
Did you ever have like a somebody that you looked to like a mentor or you just y'all just did it on a whim.
Speaker 4No, Yeah, we just did it on a whim because, like I said, at the time, when we started Poor Minds, this was like twenty eighteen, because we had a YouTube channel first and then we switched over and changed it to a podcast.
And at the time it really wasn't anybody that was doing podcasts that I just look up to.
But I will say Horrible Decisions was a really really good podcast, and then we were cool with Mandy and Weezy and they inspired us to start touring.
They're actually the one who inspired us to start touring.
Them in eighty five South, y'all.
Speaker 3Killing torn Shit, Thank you.
Speaker 1First show.
I remember y'all first show.
Speaker 2I said, oh, they this ship and it go the first live show I think y'all did in Houston first, right.
Speaker 4No, we actually did our first show in Nashville, Okay, then we did it here in Atlanta, then.
Speaker 1We went to Houston.
Speaker 3Crazy he was.
It was fun.
It was a good time.
Speaker 4But yeah, they definitely influenced us a lot when it came to torn because I feel like before eighty five South and Horrible podcast wasn't really touring.
Speaker 3Like that's like a new thing.
Speaker 1So it gotta feel good just to get paid, just be yourself.
Speaker 3It does.
It feels amazing.
Speaker 1But people look at the ship that we do, is it like it's not work?
Speaker 3Yeah, But then I always say to that I would like to see you do it.
Speaker 1That didn't work.
Speaker 2Hard work for you because like you said, you gotta make everybody feel comfortable.
You gotta be on time, you gotta It's just a lot come with the ship that you people will never understand the talking.
Yeah, but gotta be handled the business.
Speaker 4And that's another thing too.
It's so much business they get handled behind the scenes.
Like especially if you fully one hundred percent run your business and you have legal rights to it, you have to be immediates.
Speaker 3You need to know what's going on with the finances.
Speaker 4You need to make sure the paperwork is in order, as far as like your elc's and all of that stuff.
People don't think about that.
They, like you said, they just think we just sitting here talking on camera.
But it's so much more.
Speaker 2All right, you said it was time that you felt like you want if you would have quit, what you think you would have did.
Speaker 4If I would have quit, I don't know, probably been like a housewife or something.
Speaker 3To be honest, I mean, I'm not even gonna lie to you.
Speaker 4That's why I felt like this ship got a word like when it comes to port minds.
It wasn't no plan because I was like, this shit gotta work, because I I have never liked having jobs, like I've either quit every job I've ever had.
Speaker 3Or I got laid off.
Speaker 4I got laid off one time, but other than that, I ended up quitting every job I ever had.
Speaker 3I don't feel like I do well with authority.
Speaker 4I don't really do well with having to be somewhere every single day at a set time, sitting in a cubicle, having to do things that I.
Speaker 3Don't want to do.
Now, you know, you said, you know.
Speaker 1You know you don't like nobody tell you what to do.
Speaker 3Yeah, I don't.
I don't like none of that shit.
Speaker 1So everything folks doing is just why y'all doing it this way?
We could do it this way.
Speaker 2Going to a billion dollar corporation doing this shit for eighty years, and the way these folks do it is dumb to certain people, like tourists, Like you know what I'm saying, It's like whatever they doing, it's like, that's just dumb.
Speaker 1You could do It's an easier way, right.
Speaker 4And you're working all this time making them richer when you could be working on your own and making yourself richer in fact.
So, yeah, I just always knew I was going to be an entrepreneur in some type of way.
I didn't really know what I was gonna do.
Oh, that's what I forgot to say too.
I used to have a clothing line back in the day, like I really have done everything.
I knew it was gonna be something.
I always had that shit in me when it came to being an entrepreneur.
I just had to find what my theme was gonna be.
Speaker 1What what's the nay sayers?
Like?
Speaker 2How do you deal with the nay sayers?
The people that doubted you and hon of like how you dealt with it?
Speaker 3I don't them.
Speaker 4I don't really feel like I deal with them, because like, when it comes to people like that, it was so many people who definitely used to doubt poor minds, and they used to be like, oh they one trick ponies, they not smart.
They be talking about the same shit every week, that relations to those relationship topics and all of that stuff is gonna get old.
They probably gonna be relevant for another year and not go nowhere.
It was a lot of people who was definitely saying all of that shit.
But to that, I just be like, you know, you see what the food going on?
Speaker 2What about when it was somebody you care about them and you see that they don't you.
How you deal with that?
Speaker 3How do lot people like that?
You have to.
Speaker 4Love them from a distance, but then also understand that a lot of things be projection, and I think that comes from not just family members and people who love you, they also come from like strangers.
Speaker 3A lot of shit just be projection.
Speaker 4Like people have so many negative things to say because they wish that they had the courage to chaste their own dreams and do the things that they want to do.
So when they see somebody else doing it, especially in the beginning stages, it's easy to say, oh, that ain't gonna be she, But then.
Speaker 3As it gets bigger and bigger, it.
Speaker 4Makes you be like, damn, if I would have started five years ago, I probably could have been there too.
So a lot of the time I think it's projection and you just shouldn't take it personally because people a lot of the time are inspired and that's why they say the things that they say.
Speaker 1No for sure cause they said, Tesla win't gonna be shit.
Speaker 3Hey look at that shit now exactly.
Speaker 1So what's your knowing negotiable.
Speaker 3Period in life for myself or like when.
Speaker 2It's period, like when it comes down to your boundaries, like none negotiate with people, don't have to be relationships people period.
Speaker 4I don't really like dealing with negative people.
I'm a very optimistic person.
So if you're a person who's very pessimistic all the time and you always looking at the glasses half empty instead of half full, I can't really be around people like that because it just drains my energy.
So that's definitely a non negotiable for me.
I would also say people who just don't have no work at seek or who.
Speaker 3Don't want more in life.
Speaker 4Like a lot of times, this is something and I'm saying is because this is something that I'm currently a listing that I'm learning right now in life.
Speaker 3So maybe these help somebody.
Speaker 4But a lot of time, as you grow and you become more and more successful in life, you think that you have to bring everybody with you, especially the people that were with you for like ten years, fifteen years.
But it's hard to do that when you're changing every day mentally and you're evolving and people are not.
Speaker 3So that's another non negotiable.
Speaker 4I can't be around people that aren't constantly evolving and trying to better they selves, don't want to be a better version of theyself.
Some people are really cool with being where they are, and that's okay, but that's where you have to leave them where they at.
Speaker 1Fact, that's what I did.
Speaker 2I started looking at my life like I'm driving a bus and everybody got to stop.
Speaker 3No, you've changed so much.
Speaker 2Start get off, nigga, ain't got to ring the bell.
I'm putt your ass off the book.
Speaker 1Everybody, thank you.
Everybody gotta stop.
Man, you can't.
You can't.
You can't regret it, you can't be mad at it.
It's just what it is.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2I think I think we put ourselves in depression and all that ship by thinking about ship that don't matter.
Speaker 4It don't matter, right, Yeah, for sure, I agree.
And I want to ask you a question.
So, like when you decided to start focusing more on your health than going on your health journey and stuff, did that affect any of your relationships and your friends.
Speaker 1All of them?
Speaker 3Really?
Speaker 1Yeah?
Speaker 2It is what it is like in what way was like what you're doing bruh, you know, because you know when you're trying to evolve and change, really gotta change for sure, Like you can't just change one thing.
Speaker 1You can't just say.
And then I was just doing it for health reason, trying.
Speaker 3To get right.
Speaker 2But as you lose the weight, you go to losing all type of ship and you start even needing all that ship.
Speaker 1So ship just go like you tap in spiritually right.
Speaker 2So people are just not even gonna be able to deal with you.
You're gonna become a problem to them, yep, because you're holding up a mirror to them.
Speaker 1You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 2Once people start seeing you being your best version, now it's like.
Speaker 3If you don't have that consistency, I don't have that decent.
Speaker 2So now you so now we got to make you out to be a fuckinging like you going, Hollywood?
Speaker 1Are you changing?
Speaker 2Because I can got the courage, like you said, I ain't got the courage to start poor minds and get and get an eighty six dollars check and be happy about it.
Speaker 1I ain't got their courage.
I ain't got the courage that.
Speaker 2Got them feel like I can evolve.
I'm feeling like it's what you said, it's projections.
I'm feeling like it's it's impossible to do.
So, motherfucker get mad at you and try to take you out of character.
Speaker 1But sure, I ain't doing it.
I ain't going.
I just stop is here.
I ain't mad at you.
I love you.
Speaker 3That's fair.
Speaker 4I feel the same way because I'm really into health and feedings too, Like I work out and stuff.
Speaker 1Like I ain't been on my height yet.
Come to the height.
No, I do.
Speaker 4But see that's the thing I don't know about outdoor workouts.
Speaker 3I'm more of an indoor Give me some a C.
Speaker 4Yeah, I need to be a little cool while I'm working out.
Working out outside stresses me out.
Speaker 3It's just walking, walking and sweeten I do.
But in the a C.
Speaker 1And oh yeah, ain't no books?
Yeah, so what you say you're like a girly girl.
Speaker 4Yeah, I would say so.
I think I'm a girly girl, like you know, like.
Speaker 1Tomboys shut off.
Speaker 3No, but that's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 4I mean, I definitely have that ship in me though, because when I go on vacation, I'm very adventurious, Like I want to go zip line, I want to go kayaking.
Speaker 3I don't mind doing outdoor activities.
Speaker 4But like on a normal, consistent basis, that's where I draw the line every once in a while.
Speaker 1You know, Hey, so what's the what's the show about?
Speaker 3Travel queens?
Speaker 4Yeah, so basically it's a travel show.
It's about Lex and I going to different country, different states, different cities.
In the US and we're showing people all of the black cultural things that you can do in these different cities, because it's cities and countries that typically you would assume don't have a lot of black culture.
So like we went to Kardaina, Columbia, for example, and then we went to this really small town they're called Polenka, which is two hours away from Kardayina, and it was the first free black city in the Americas.
And like literally as soon as you step into Polenka, you would think that you're in Ghana or Nigeria somewhere in Africa because it's so many black people there and it's so much culture there, and they're proud to be black, you know.
Like we talked about this when we went on a Reo leisure.
I think a lot of the time, when we think about Afro Latinas, they get this badrip for like not wanting to be associated with being black.
Speaker 3But when we went to Polinka that was black and proud.
Speaker 4They had their pro black signs up, they had their T shirts for like you know about George Floyd and all types of stuff.
Like they're very aware that they know what's going on and they're proud to be black.
Speaker 2So do you think what what what was the best city that you visit?
Was that the best city you visit?
Speaker 3Mixed about city was our favorite?
It was me favor of Realm.
Speaker 4Yeah, because it's a lot of black expats from the United States that are moving there just because the cost of living is cheaper and it's not that far from North America.
I mean not the North America, but it's not that far from the United States.
So it's a lot of black expats that are moving there.
They have black R and B nights there.
The food is really really good, and it's also just a really safe place for black women to move to if you're thinking about moving abroad.
Speaker 1So would you ever move out of the country?
Speaker 3I would.
Speaker 4I would Actually a part of me would love to live in Europe for like a year.
When we went to London, I really really liked see and then I always hear Paris is really nice.
Speaker 3Like, I wouldn't mind living in Europe for a year.
Speaker 2So how many I'm in a different well, how many different countries did y'all visit on the show?
Speaker 3Just one?
We only went to South America.
Speaker 4They see everything else was here here in North America because we went to Charleston, South Carolina, which is here in the States.
We went to Key West, Florida, which is here in the States.
Then we went to Mexico City, which is you know, still North America.
Speaker 2Okay, Okay, that's dope.
And it's already out everything.
Speaker 4It came out a month ago and all four episodes are out, So you could watch it everywhere.
You could watch it on bees he hear, you could watch it on bt dot com.
Speaker 3You could watch it on.
Speaker 4Hulu with the BC Heart, add on Felo with the BC Heart add on YouTube TV, and right now we just you know, trying to see if we're gonna get a second season.
Speaker 3Fingers crossed.
Speaker 1It's a crazy question.
Speaker 2If you could switch lives with a celebrity, who would it be for one day?
Speaker 3Beyonce?
Speaker 1Real?
Speaker 3I love Beyonce.
Speaker 4Maybe it's a Houston thing, but that's literally the only celebrity that I would say I must stand for, like I love me some Beyonce.
Speaker 3Absolutely, I would love to switch lives.
So Beyonce for a day.
Speaker 1What city you gonna go to?
What city you gonna go to the concert?
Speaker 4Then both I'm going Houston ain't here hona be crazy.
Houston is gonna be crazy anytime she going to where I always have to go in Houston.
Speaker 3Real mm hmm, every.
Speaker 1Song switch lot.
So what's what's what?
What you think?
Maybey'all say?
So dope?
Besides her being from Houston.
Speaker 4Besides her being from Houston, I feel like she's always authentically been herself and I really respect and love how she's been able to create a sense of normalcy in her life despite how.
Speaker 3Unnormal it is.
Speaker 4Like, I love the fact that she keeps her personal life private and she protects the people that she care about, Like her and jay Z have done a really good job of cultivating a very private life in such a public city.
Speaker 2I just like about them two both that they just seem just so unbold that too, Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 1Man, y'all supposed to be talking about us.
Speaker 4Right and then they'll they The only time they ever addressed it is in the music.
Speaker 1This Ship.
Speaker 4Yeah, the only time they ever addressed hey, ever addressed the comments anything in the music.
Speaker 3I love that.
I aspire to be that unbothered one day because right now I'm.
Speaker 1A little bothered.
Why you think so?
Speaker 3Why?
Speaker 4Because I just think that's human nature.
And I think when I was younger, I people like to say, oh, you always have acted like you don't give a fuck.
I feel like when I was younger, I really didn't give a fuck.
It has come with growth and maturity and going to therapy, tapping into my emotions and stuff more.
I think it's just human nature.
You're going to care sometimes what people say.
It's about how you respond.
Though some people don't respond, and I want to get to that level.
I don't have to, but sometimes depending on what people say, I will respond to you as because I will gather you quickly.
Speaker 3I'm not one of them.
Speaker 4Don't ever think I'm too good to not cut your ass out, because I will push.
Speaker 3You out quickly.
Speaker 1What's the weirdest shit?
A fan?
Undead though?
Speaker 4Oh my god, it's this lady.
It's a woman, big fan of the show.
She came to the New Orleans show.
I probably shouldn't even She probably gonna be excited that I'd even talk about these.
She came to the New Orleans show.
She was in a wheelchair.
I think she's paralyzed or something.
A huge fan of the show.
She has like a crush on me.
She was so excited to see me.
She stayed until after the show.
She wouldn't leave, so like literally security has to walk me through a whole different exit out of the door because she wouldn't leave.
Like they were trying to get her to leave, she would not leave.
And then we ended up blocking her from Patreon, which you know is serious, cause why we gonna block you from paying your money?
Speaker 1What she be doing on us?
Speaker 3She would leave, She would.
Speaker 4Leave all type of crazy, disgusting comments about like fucking me and like just yes, like all type of crazy stuff.
So we ignored it for a while, but then after a while it just got to be too much, so we ended up blocking her from Patreon.
We blocked her from our Instagram pages, literally everything.
Speaker 3Now she be emailing me.
I had to block up from.
Speaker 4The email because I guess because it's in our bido and stuff.
Speaker 3But she just don't she just don't stop.
Speaker 1It's a little scary.
Speaker 3She a stun daddy.
Speaker 4Yes she is all one too, she an all boyedel gud.
Speaker 1Coming child.
Speaker 4But yes, that's probably the strangest encounter that I've had this far.
Speaker 3I've had a lot of really great encounters.
Speaker 4Because now I feel like I'm at a point where no matter where I go, I always run into somebody that listening to Poor Minds.
Like I could be out to eat and I always run into somebody.
But one of the best things counters that we had.
We had a Detroit show, our last tour in twenty twenty three, and it was this guy that was there and he did a testimony.
He said how he had been watching our show for a really long time.
He had found out he had prostate cancer and while he was going through chemo, he would watch Poor Minds every week while he was doing his chemo, and we really helped get him through that roof patch in his life.
And it was like really touching to me.
Speaker 1She said.
Speaker 4She said, the thing, y'all twins, we got that telepathy for real, We really do it.
We real best friends for real.
But yeah, like because I feel like it was just such a touching moment.
I think for both of us, it was a pivotal point that showed U's like, not only are we making people laugh, but we really out here changing lives, like helping people get through roough shit, and that's what life is about.
Because some people don't have somebody in real life that they could lean on.
So that's why they like to watch these shows.
That's why it makes him feel like they know us personally, because we make them feel like we're there for them in real life.
Speaker 1So you don't got no kids neither, right yet?
Why not?
You know?
Speaker 4Having a baby ain't just like a button you can push, He's why not.
Speaker 3For me?
I feel like it needs to be for me.
Speaker 4I feel like it needs to be with the right person at the right time.
Like I'm not gonna see here and act like I haven't had opportunities to in the past, but I wanted to be with the right person.
And I feel like I've worked too hard in my life and came too far to just become a baby mama.
Speaker 3That like, you could get up more of a pass for that.
Speaker 4I think when you're younger, I'm thirty four, like what I look like just becoming a baby mama just because I wouldn't want to if I have a choice in me.
Speaker 1So, how do you like when it all when the camera's off?
You know what I'm saying?
You chilling?
What a day like that look.
Speaker 3Like for you when the camera's off?
I love to work out, so I'm all, I'm gonna be at the gym for sure.
You too, I've been going hard.
Speaker 4You say I did seventy five hard.
Actually I did it earlier this year.
But yeah, I'm gonna be at the gym.
I actually just got in today trading.
So when I wake up every morning, first thing I do is I check my Yahoo Finance app.
I'm looking at the stock market.
I'm nine times out of teen gonna go somewhere to eat, or I might cook me a little something, might do a little shopping.
I love to read as well.
But I really just be chilling, like I'm so normal off camera.
I be chilling, Yeah, on a day to day basis, no makeup, sweatpans, workout clothes.
Speaker 2What's some shit like misconception that people got a unit that you fucked up, like they got me fucked up and they think that.
Speaker 4You know what, people always think that I'm bougie and like stuck up in real life.
If they always assume I'm gonna be stuck up, people think I'm really bougie.
Speaker 3They think I'm like super.
Speaker 4Materialistic to the point like that that's all that I care about.
I think people think I'm gonna be mean when they meet me, and then they're always really shocked at how down to earth and cool I am.
So Yeah, I feel like those are misconceptions that people have also just.
Speaker 3Because of how I look.
I think people think I'm not that smart.
Speaker 1What you mean, like you don't have brains?
Speaker 3Yeah, in the early stages of poor minds.
Speaker 4Even still to this day, those are comments that we get all the time.
Speaker 3Like, I think people think that we not that smart.
Speaker 4But then I'm always like, I counter that with you don't build something like these not being.
Speaker 2That smart facts facts a Dumby would quit long time ago.
Speaker 1Yeah, they wouldn't even started.
They wouln't even try.
Speaker 3They wouldn't even try.
Speaker 4But yeah, and I think people mistake my confidence for cockiness or arrogance.
Speaker 3But I feel like I'm just very confident and I'm not cocky.
Speaker 2It's a thin line between that though, because people that like you said, and people that projecting they don't know the difference.
Speaker 3But you know, I mean, what do you think?
Speaker 1I think you cool as fuck?
Y'all be lit too, you see.
I feel I'll just tell he remember what was in LA I said, look at her, but turn the whole ship up on y'all, nobody else.
Everybody, y'all have your own part of having a time.
We're a good time.
Speaker 4But I think people expect that from Licks based off of our personalities on the show.
I feel like they don't expect that as much from me.
Speaker 1Do you think she triggered that for you though?
Speaker 2Do you think she kind of me kind of bring bring certain ship out of you that you would be chilling but fucking don't let my girl that's turn up.
Speaker 3No, I'm just like that, but that's what she always say.
Speaker 4Like when we first started the podcast, so many people was like, why are you starting a podcast with Drea?
Speaker 3She be chilling, Like does she even have a personality?
Does she even be talking?
Speaker 4And she was like, y'all don't know Dre the way I know her, Like she cool, its fuck and she'd be turning up, she'd be having a good time.
So Lex always knew me on a different level, I think because we started working in the club together and so she's seen me in like an unorthodox city, so she already knew how it was gonna be.
Speaker 3So yeah, I don't think she I think she makes me more comfortable, but I be turning.
Speaker 4Up when I'm not with her.
I'm a little more extroverty than her.
Speaker 3Crazy enough, Oh yeah.
Speaker 1You said you So you say you're a little bit.
Speaker 3More like I'll be outside and stuff more.
Speaker 2Yeah, because I don't never see les out.
Nah, that's crazy, you're right.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2So what's what's red flags for you?
Just not even in relationship, just in people.
Speaker 1Mm hmm.
Speaker 3When people say stuff in a joking way, because a lot.
Speaker 1Of the time it don't be a joke jokingly for real.
Speaker 4Yeah, like you dead ass serious, Like if people always saying something specific all the time, but then they try to act like they joking, Like, nah, you're not joking, you.
Speaker 3Behind you really feel that way?
Speaker 4Yeah, So I feel like you gotta watch out for that.
People who talk about their friends to you, that's a red fleg because if you're talking about them, you will talk about me.
Speaker 1Fact.
Speaker 3So I don't ever trust that.
Speaker 4People who don't take accountability, they always that's number one.
Speaker 3That's that's number one for you.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 4Yeah, playing big flim because sometimes life be dealing people shitty cards.
I can acknowledge that are sometimes people are doing you wrong, But then you also have to look in the mirror and be like Okay, what did I do to play a role in me?
Why is this situation turning out this way?
And I think a lot of people just lack accountability.
Speaker 2Yeah, because I ain't never met a mother.
Fuck it everybody like you just come on now.
Speaker 3If everybody's saying it, it's some truth to everybody.
Speaker 1Didn't done you wrong?
Everybody?
Nah?
Man, But most of the time, but most of the time, I hate to say this because it's a room for the winmen, but most of the time be the women.
Speaker 4Not see here you go with that ship was having We've been having a good bank, we've been having a good time.
Speaker 3But one hundred, bro, what do you mean men are like that too?
Speaker 1Oh yeah, I know a lot of them.
Speaker 2I know personally, both saying most of the time, it's the women, Like you never heard a woman's it's rare.
I ain't gonna say never that you have a woman saying I just won ship.
In the relationship, it's always the nigga one ship.
Speaker 3But that's because niggas don't be shure.
Speaker 1Hold hold on, I get it, I get it, I get it.
Speaker 2But then when you talking to your friend, you'll tell her your real friend, like come on, bitch.
Speaker 1You one ship, so why come on now, stop playing vitnam.
Speaker 2You'll tell your real friend.
If you're a real friend, it'll be like, come on, girl, stop thatting hurt.
Speaker 3Yeah, I will.
But the thing that men be feeling to realize is a lot of the time.
Speaker 4Women maneuver because of how y'all are maneuvering.
Speaker 3Like you're the man, You're the leader.
So yeah, are you not?
You the man?
You're the leader.
Speaker 2I'm the leader when it comes to the bullshit.
But I can't lead you to some other shit.
Speaker 1That's what you mean.
You're leading.
Speaker 4You're determining how this whole shit about to go.
You get what I'm saying, Like it's based off of you, because you tried to court me nine times out of teen and that's the way that it go.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 4You see a girl, she look cute, you like, okay, I want to see what's up with hou?
You make the first move?
Now, y'all talking okay, depending on how you're maneuvering, how you're taking her on days, how you're treating her, how the relationship in the communication is going.
Speaker 3A lot of the time, that's the determining factor on how she.
Speaker 4Gonna move she's trying to see how you moving okay, So then if you start being on bullshe she gonna start being on bullshit.
Speaker 3But men a lot of.
Speaker 4The time have the expectation that y'all could be on bullshit and a woman is still supposed to be a good woman to you, and that's not the case.
Speaker 3You start being on bullshit.
Why do I still gotta live up to this time?
Speaker 2Don't You don't when we gotta understand it, just don't come in acting like that.
Speaker 1Just let it know.
Hey, I match your energy, nigga.
Niggas can respect.
Speaker 3Why do I gotta let you know that when you ain't let me know you was coming in on bullshit, but you knew I was a bullshit that nigga when.
Speaker 4You barly, that's not true.
Sometimes niggas be completely fooling.
You were not gonna act like men, And don't be out here living double lives.
Speaker 3What you mean some men be living double lives.
Speaker 4A dude could try to come holler at you and then you thinking that y'all really getting to know each other.
Come to find out, he got a whole girlfriend, he got a whole family, he got some whole other shit going on.
That he not being real with you about men do that type of stuff.
You ain't letting me know that ship off the rig.
Speaker 1I don't know what I'm doing.
I'm in between bitches.
I'm in between bitches.
I don't know what I'm doing right now.
Speaker 3I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's fine, But then when a nigga accept that and match their energy.
Speaker 1See see, I'm glad you said.
Speaker 3That right now, we're having a real perspective.
Speaker 2I'm glad you said that right because just say, Vincent right once you let me, once you match my energy.
Since I'm the leader and I categorize you, am I wrong?
Speaker 4I don't think you're wrong because I categorize niggas personally.
Speaker 2So that's what most women feel like a nigga wrong when they do that.
Speaker 3Right, I don't think like I don't.
Speaker 4I see people for who they are, so like every nigga ain't meant to be your husband.
Speaker 1Facts.
Speaker 4So at the end of the day, if you show me who you are just as much as you could categorize me for how you feel like, I'm moving now where you already have in my mind you a good time nigga.
Speaker 1I respect that now that that's that real ship right now.
Speaker 4Like I like him, it don't take away from the fact cause first of all, you're a Gemini, so I already know how y'all be what.
Speaker 3Y'all a great time a lot of the time.
Speaker 4But until y'all really fall in love or fall of that one girl, y'all.
Speaker 3Just a good time.
Speaker 1Y'all look good because y'all be.
Speaker 3All because y'all be all over the place.
Speaker 1But I love you, nigga looking Jimini has a lot of love.
Speaker 3I agree that everybody.
I love to give so much that you want to give it to everybody.
I get it.
Speaker 1God sent me.
I can't fight him, you know what.
Speaker 4But I'm just saying I feel like women would do better if they categorize me in the same way that men categorize women.
Speaker 3Like because just because.
Speaker 4You're having a good time with him, and just because he fun and y'all vibe and y'all got good chemistry, that don't mean it's supposed to be your husband.
That don't mean it's supposed to be your baby daddy.
That might just be the dude that you're supposed to go out to eat weed, maybe go on a little trip with, especially if you're young, have a good time, and then move on because he's already shown you that it's chaotic over there.
Why do you want to say he only don't go bad because he's just gonna show you we could get worse.
Speaker 1I agree.
Speaker 2Now you're cracking the cold.
You're cracking the cold.
But let me let me ask you something.
Not you, but have you seen women.
Speaker 1The typical?
Yeah, you know what I'm saying, because you you're different.
Speaker 3Thank you.
Speaker 1Let's put that right there.
You're different.
You get it.
I can't go back and forth with you because you get it.
You know what I'm saying.
Categorize these nigga the same way.
Speaker 2But what I'm saying most women don't want to be categorized because they knowing that that drops.
Speaker 1You down your respect level.
How So, though you know what I'm saying, it don't it don't.
Speaker 2I'm saying that's how they feel like I gotta play this good woman because I feel like every man want a good woman.
Some niggas like women that know ship, bro, we just we just having a good time.
Speaker 4I feel like you could be that type of woman, and that don't mean you gotta fuck everybody.
That's where be losing the plot though true, because some girls think that that means, oh well, let me just go fuck with every nigga to show this nigga that like he don't matter.
You don't gotta fuck these niggas.
Just let him know, like, okay, I peep what's going on?
Like you feel like you're not really sure about me.
I'm not sure about you neither.
I'm weighing my options.
So if he asked me to go on to day, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 3But drop you.
Speaker 2Once you go on a date with another man, you entertain another man, I can't look at you as a top prospect.
Speaker 3If we never had a conversation about exclusivity.
Speaker 1No, it don't matter.
I'm just speaking.
Speaker 3No, that's fair, that's fair because I have other men have said that to me.
Speaker 1It don't matter.
Speaker 2It's just like, okay, just how men think.
But some I ain't gonna speak for all men.
This is how some men think.
Yeah, get it right, this is how most men think.
Right, you're not for me until you show me you're for me, no matter what you say out your mouth.
So you showing me you for me is like basically a niggaspecting one more she'd be like, yeah, allows here, Niggas be like, you know what, I can't deal with you because this is not what I want.
You know what I'm saying.
I can't deal with you because I see you can't get give me what I want.
Niggas respect you and then start lying to you to make you feel because he feels like you're for me because you ready to leave me alone for.
Speaker 1Me being some bullshit.
But a woman that.
Speaker 2Feel like, okay, you some bullshit on some bullshit.
Okay, I'm gonna keep you too, but I know what you is.
If that makes sense what I'm saying, so that that takes away to trust because even though you might not be having sex with these dudes, if a dude got your mind, he got everything if he if he can get you on the line, I'm just keeping it one thing.
Speaker 4Oh no, No, I'm not making that face because you're wrong.
I'm making that face because I had that conversation with somebody I was dating.
Speaker 3Reason Okay, thank you, Yeah.
Speaker 1So I ain't.
I ain't bringing this out of thing up.
Speaker 4No, I'm agreeing with you like me and men feel like they don't want nobody to have no type of ac said seeing nothing.
Speaker 3But where I counter that?
Speaker 4And not in my situation because that was my men like we were in a relationship.
But where I counter that in situations where you're not in a relationship with somebody and y'all not exclusive, How you expect her to be moving like she exclusive when y'all haven't had a conversation about that, if that's what you want.
Speaker 2To niggas feel like, if you're a woman that's gonna be my woman for real?
You don't you're exclusive anyway.
I'm just I'm just telling you how niggas think me.
Speaker 3You ain't.
Speaker 1How you gonna say he ain't.
Speaker 3Most men are?
Speaker 4Men are not being exclusive if y'all haven't had a conversation about exclusivity, because a lot of the time they not being exclusive when you have.
Speaker 2But you got to know what exclusive meaning to men?
Though exclusive meaning to men some men?
Is that you the one I'm gonna do all of.
Speaker 3That extra shit with no seem not.
Speaker 1One.
Speaker 2I agree, you're the one that can record me, so you should feel specially.
Speaker 3I'm just telling you how think about I know, I get it.
I agree that is time men think.
Speaker 4But see for me and I think for most women when we think of exclusivity.
You're like, we're in a monogamous relationship.
Be in a monogamous relationship from name one, from.
Speaker 1Your dad, your cousin.
How long it takes to think how long this ship gonna take?
Speaker 4I mean, that's the point.
That's where I feel.
I fear you, Aids.
I fear your point, but I to agree.
That's what kind of scares me about marriage and stuff.
Sometimes it's because I don't know if I know necessarily believe that a man can be one hundred percent faithful.
Speaker 1There's some really, but do you want them?
Speaker 4Yeah, there's some, but do you want that character the whole relationship?
Speaker 3Like never?
Because because that's another thing too.
Speaker 4I feel like you have relationships where men might have started off being on bullshie, but then they had an epiphany or something happening and they realized, Okay, these women really down for me.
She's solid, I'm gonna do right by her, and and they change and he changes the trajectory of the relationship.
Speaker 2But but they just changing them respect you more.
Yeah, Nigga still gonna do what he's gonna do.
Speaker 3You feel like regardless, So but you just say you know me and that are like.
Speaker 1But them women don't be liking them, you know him.
Speaker 3Oh it's a cold world brough the corny niggas.
Speaker 1There's a.
Speaker 3Man that's fair.
Speaker 2It's most of the time when a woman feels like she figured you out, the game over.
Speaker 3If you want to lead me, he probably not gonna be how.
Speaker 1One we said, dang this shit fucked up.
Speaker 3Man it is.
Speaker 4But that's why Mary scare me a little bit, because I want to be in the mon like I want that like I'm one of those girls.
I really want to believe in that fairy hill ending, Like I really want to believe that it's a man out there that I can meet and we're gonna be south madly in love, that it's just gonna be me and him, and we're gonna build these empire, these legacy together, and he's just gonna be me and him, and he's not gonna be worried about these other girls outside.
Speaker 1But let me say, let me say this.
Speaker 3But that's a little delusion to me.
Speaker 2He could be madly in love with you.
But that don't taking away from you from whatever this guy does.
That don't got nothing to.
Speaker 1Do with you.
Speaker 4I agree, I know it has nothing to do with me.
But I'm just like, but why are men that way?
Why is it so hard for y'all to just be with one girl?
If you love her so much, like your desire you're insight desire for other women, it is stronger than you wanting to lose this woman that you care so much about.
Like you okay, with the fact that you just want to experience something new for the night or for the time being, that's enough to make you lose the love of your lifetime.
Speaker 2If if that something like that can make her leave me, then she's not the love of my life.
Speaker 3Mm hmmm.
Speaker 1Correllingly Martin beyond would.
Speaker 3We don't know what she would have did if he would have still been here.
Speaker 1Eventually we see what jay Z and Beyonce doing.
Speaker 3Yeah.
True, but my girl definitely talked about it.
Speaker 1She let the world who cares?
Not you talking?
You ain't going no motherfucker.
Speaker 4Well, I just I think that this is the thing for me.
And I've said this before one time.
I don't necessarily know if I would just leave my men if I'm married over something like that.
But if it's a habit, you a habitual cheater, like ah, you do this ship.
Speaker 3All the time.
Speaker 2Fuck though, absolutely not habitual cheata, habitually getting caught because he's gonna do it.
Speaker 1He's saying, like, is he messy once you get caught.
That's the only time your cheat is when you get caught.
Speaker 4That's what I don't know if I want to believe that, bank Like, I just be like, damn, it ain't no unreleased niggas that don't be cheating you cold, just drop up.
Speaker 1But it's some women that ain't letting them niggas go.
Speaker 4You mean to tell me you don't think it's not one nigga out there they just don't cheat.
Speaker 1Let me tell you something.
It is.
It's some niggas, but the women turn them cold.
Hm.
Speaker 2This is what I'm saying, that you got these niggas.
I know some guys like I don't want to call my boy name.
Speaker 1He the truth.
He ain't never cheat on this girl or nothing.
This nigga the truth.
He's a real dude.
You know what I'm saying.
They broke up.
She said, I said, why y'all broke up?
Speaker 3Bro?
Speaker 2He said, because she said, I'm not a fixtion enough.
But he's never cheated on him.
He's never nothing.
He loves her, He loves her to death, but she like he lack emotions or whatever.
It's always something.
Now she don't turn them clod.
So it's like, you know what, fuck the bitches, bro.
You gotta think every nigga that feels like the bitching had his heart broke by a woman first.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, when the nigga first jump out to the woman his first girlfriend, he wasn't she on him?
So I saw these bitch kissing in the bathroom in junior school, in junior high.
Now you know what this this ship gonna follow me forether man, Damn the bitch.
It's the women.
It's the women.
Speaker 3It's just an innate thing in men, though.
Speaker 4Nah, I feel like men just have that urge like y'all just always down for the chase, y'all.
I always want something new and exciting.
Like like you said, you could really love the fuck out of your woman.
You could be like, this is my woman.
I love her so much.
I know she the best thing that ever happened to me.
She hauled the house down, she holds the kids down.
I know she not gonna be out here moving reckless.
I know she ain't cheating on me.
Whatever the case may be.
But then you are to the club and you see this young fine girl, you just gonna want to know what's.
Speaker 3Up with that.
Speaker 1But you never know if she's cheating them.
Speaker 3You don't because flickered me in.
Speaker 2Thank you, bro.
One thing about a woman.
When you find out she cheated, she don't want.
Speaker 1You no more.
Yeah, you'll never know she cheating.
Yeah, So in the back of a nigga mine.
Speaker 2Once a nigga doesn't been cheating with somebody else's girl, he ain't gonna never trust women.
Yeah, because once you show me how sneaker y'all can be, it's like, oh man, auld have went for that.
Speaker 1It's a fucked up worlds.
Speaker 2It's twenty twenty five Instagram, Like you got everybody's phone number.
Speaker 1Yeah, just think about it.
Speaker 3Say to woman, you.
Speaker 2Just damn yo yo a center goddamn nigga said, nigga center center tend What did the toast?
Speaker 1What that means?
By all I get to see it, what it means ship, I don't want to do it.
Whatever you get what I'm saying.
It's like life.
Speaker 2Just I don't I think like you said, man, if you can't get somebody to build an empire with is noting vought because because trying to put the monogamy ship on it first build something that I don't want to risk.
I don't give a damn about your puss in you saying you love me, that's saying, now we build some ship that I ain't trying to tack this down.
I mean need be got fifty fift on one hundred million, two hundred million dollars.
I'm finna, I'm gonna do enough to keep this.
Speaker 1But if all I'm losing this what you're saying you love me, and I'm not really losing.
Speaker 3Shit, yah for sure.
Speaker 4I mean that's how we preached that a lot on the show now, you know, like because I feel when I was younger, I used to always be like, you need to get you get you a man with money, like you need to day up the But now I don't really say that on the show anymore.
Speaker 3LEX don't say that either.
Speaker 4Because I feel like I hate to I hate to be the ones that says these because I know the girls is gonna be mad.
But like sometimes it is like but what do you do?
Speaker 3What do you got?
Speaker 1It's like, what am I losing?
Headache?
Speaker 3It's not enough, like Cuchie itself ain't enough.
Speaker 1That ship.
You can get that ship before you get a for sure, for sure, you get that ship.
Speaker 3I say that all the time.
It's going for nothing these days.
Speaker 1But you know a lot of women, so.
Speaker 2It's thinking that that ship is magical.
Most women think that they Couchie is magical.
Speaker 4M hm, they do.
I feel like every woman feels that way.
Yeah, that's where I'd be like, if everybody Cuchie good, who is the ones that got the trash Gucci?
Speaker 1And then when that when.
Speaker 4Dudes, when dudes be saying that, he'd be like, if everybody puts a good, who is the one that got the treas.
Speaker 2I think it's all the same.
It's just how you feel about that person makes it better.
Like if I love you, it's gonna be better.
But if we just fucking it's just a fun, it's the same.
The emotions make it feel better.
That makes sense.
Speaker 4I just yeah, I think you have to be able to offer more than it though.
That's so we needn't living them times anymore.
People love to talk about back in the day me and was one hundred percent providers.
I do agree with that, but also back in the day, let's chat about it.
Our grandmother's and our aunties and our even some of our parents.
They was okay with turning the blind eyes to the fact that our dads and our grandfathers had other families on the other side of town, They had other shit going on because them niggas were solely providing.
Now we live in a day and age where like women are getting our own money too, so you have to realize, like, if you want that man, it's just gonna be a provider and you don't want to have to do anything.
Speaker 3It's a lot of bullshit that come with it.
Speaker 1A lot of bullshit come with that shit.
Speaker 3That's why I prefer to like me and my men can be with something together.
Speaker 1At this point, I agree with that because.
Speaker 3It unfortunately from what you don't say, he's still gonna cheat.
So what do it really matter?
Speaker 2I ain't saying it depends on what kind of nigga you like, because y'all don't be liking them kind of niggas.
Speaker 3What kind of niggas?
No, I like, bussies, ain't gonna.
Speaker 2Lie, You're like, what bussies, That's what I'm saying.
And them niggas, you know, it's a thousand and one to them.
Speaker 3Niggas, it is, But what about me?
I'm a boss tool but me and don't care.
Speaker 4Y'all don't care about that.
I was talking to my friend about that earlier.
Me and don't care how many degrees you got.
They don't care how much money you made.
They don't care about alio accomplishments.
They don't care about any of this shit because they just want somebody.
Speaker 3Nah not yeah, you're about to say nah.
Speaker 2Niggas just feel like at the end of the day, no matter what you got, baby, I can the nigga that I am.
I can go make a bitch have the same thing right now.
I sent her to school, make it pretty.
I can do whatever I want.
You can build a bitch.
Speaker 1Can't build, no nigga.
If you do, you ain't gonna want you can build.
Speaker 2You can take a bitch from nothing and turn tomorrow standing beside you.
She different, She matches my cadence.
Now, she's different.
Everything you have mayby done.
Put her right, like.
Speaker 1Come up, baby, hey, wash up.
You know what I'm saying.
Babies, bitch, and you know, take her to the shop and bring out like a brand new car.
Speaker 2Easy so that's what the value and it's fucked up for the women that are valuable.
The value of women just has dropped because it's like, bro, you can create one.
Speaker 1All I need a bitch to do is listen.
You gonna listen.
I got you.
Speaker 3But do you also feel like it's just because of the fact that.
Speaker 4Everybody used to materially seek these days too, I kind of feel like that's where the value of women have dropped, because women will do anything just to be seen next to somebody who is somebody.
They don't even have to be getting nothing from me, But it's just about the look, like the fact that I can even say I used to talk to these nigga, I used to fuck with these nigga, so they be going for anything just to be in proximity.
And another thing because of materialism is because of like aesthetics and how shit looks.
Everybody cares about this.
Speaker 3That's a great social media.
Speaker 2That's a great point in knowing and by niggas knowing that, like you just said there and said, most of the time women be saying, I ain't fucking you who ain't got them no motion, he ain't got going, he got no money.
Speaker 1We ain't talking with them right.
So every nigga, I've been that nigga that didn't have no motion.
Speaker 2So once I got motion, bitch, I'm gonna fuck with you like a nigga that got motion because you wouldn't.
Speaker 1Fuck with me about that.
Hell No, I'm wrong.
Basically, you only fuck with me because I'm this nigga.
Speaker 2But I've done been this nigga before I knew how that feelt when I wanted you.
Speaker 4I feel like men's money is women's looks.
It's the same thing.
Like you wouldn't fuck with me if.
Speaker 3I didn't look.
Speaker 2But all these women look good now, not everybody in Atlanta eighty percent.
Speaker 1Of the bit you look good.
Speaker 3That's fear.
Speaker 1You can't even like you remember back in the day.
Speaker 4You everybody look alike.
Everybody got the same mistake.
It's no individual back in the day, niggat if I got you, ain't heard a nigga say God damn and for so.
Speaker 2Long cause nigga too many of them.
Speaker 3It's a goddamn around every corner.
Speaker 2Nigga ain't saying that ship won't either, Like like, bro, it's so.
Speaker 4Funny, it's so funny that you said that ship because even.
Speaker 3Like looking back from when I moved.
Speaker 4To Atlanta, like I said, I've been here for a minute now, so like twenty sixteen, and when I moved here, I had my boobs done already.
But like when I was working in the club, it was like just me and maybe like one other girl they had like her boobs and her had work done and whatever.
Back then, Now everybody got fake boobs, everybody got the butt shots, everybody got the BBL like everybody got the same hair.
Speaker 1The shit look good.
Speaker 4Because at one point when it was first starting off looking.
Speaker 1A little question, it was like, what do you do?
Bro?
You right?
Speaker 3Everybody do this?
Speaker 4Fear eighty percent of women in Atlanta, Houston, New York, Miami, all of the big CITs.
Speaker 3Everybody look good.
Speaker 1That's what I'm saying.
It's like, man, what to do?
What do you do?
Speaker 4But that's where you have to But that's where personality and mindset and character and morals play should come into play.
And I feel like you don't for men because they just be looking at it like, oh well, all y'all looking like y'all interchangeable.
But the heart in the mind and the soul ain't interchange.
Speaker 2But how we're gonna get past that when I'm already categorizing you, but how you look by.
Speaker 3Getting to know her and not putting her in their box.
Speaker 2I ain't got time to getting to know your baby because you ain't even fuck me if I fucked up.
Speaker 1That's in my mind.
So I'm here for a good time only.
Baby.
I don't got time for all that because you look like a heartbreaker.
Speaker 3But you but but you wouldn't fuck with her if she didn't look how she looked.
That's what I'm saying.
I mean, how is that different?
Speaker 4Yes, you would not as an Okay, we're not talking about a man on the come up.
Speaker 3Were talking about one who already nigga.
Speaker 2Whill I don't say a long time, the nigga wil Man, the niggas, niggas g LONGI the birth and bitch, I can see up under that that dust the ship, bitch, you can eat something niggas like that, like I can see what you can be.
How many niggas don't built bitches though a diamond in.
Speaker 1No real shit.
Speaker 2Just think about how many niggas took bitches and got got got them all the ship that they need.
And Nick she don't fuck with them.
No more like at one point in time in order the day the bitch bitch first day, like I'm trying to I'm trying to get I'm trying to get his tune.
I'm trying to nigga do it.
Speaker 1This ain't even now.
Speaker 2It's another nigga.
Baby Mama, Now you you built up for another nigga.
Yeah, so niggas knowing and that ship don't call ship niggas like shit, I just got the business.
Well she won't got there the mummy makeo.
I got the bitch of mommy Mako.
She look good and now she's working out and.
Speaker 1This bitch and she looks good.
It's easy.
A nigga will pull a bitch out to win this drive through, like, hey, quit this.
Speaker 4I feel like that was back in the day before everybody started looking good.
Now, I feel like niggas want you to come as you are.
They want you to come build.
Speaker 1Some niggas do, some niggas.
Some niggas don't care because them niggas are.
It's a project.
Speaker 2Just like you go to the go to the junkyard and buy old school up in there.
Take this ship off the frame and rebuild it.
Speaker 1M hm, O me to put a nice paint.
I can see what this's gonna be.
There's still a sixty nine Chevin.
Speaker 3She just needs a little buffy, that's it.
Speaker 1She just needed set up and get that.
Speaker 2Put a hell cat molde in this bitch man for real.
But a woman ain't doing that.
You gotta come already ready.
You have to have manners.
You gotta be faithful, gotta be a provider, gotta be a warrior.
Speaker 3Like you definitely gotta be a warrior.
Speaker 1You gotta be you gotta be.
I'm trying.
Speaker 2A nigga got to be everything.
Jesus, Well, you better come as Jesus.
If not, he just don't do it for me, like.
Speaker 1You just don't do a good God.
Speaker 4I mean, he coold, but like I don't know, girl, it's something about him.
Speaker 2I just can't get with you for nothing.
This niggas the nigga you prayed for.
Like women gotta stop praying for ship and then don't want it and miss No, they'll pray for a good man.
God will see you a good man.
He'd be like he's just boring.
Speaker 1Though.
Speaker 3Now I will say this.
Speaker 4I was having a conversation with my homeboy the other day and he was telling me about some one of his friends or whatever, and I was like, but he just saw corny.
Speaker 3He talk about what what what is corny?
Speaker 1That's fucked up?
Man, This man could be heaven sent, but now he corny.
Speaker 3I just don't want to know corny me and all.
Speaker 1Man, But you don't want the nigga who got them, he'd have won, Like so.
Speaker 4You want see I think not corny to me, I don't care about societal standards when it comes to corny.
Me's like, you just can't be corny to me?
Speaker 1What's corny?
Speaker 4I don't want no dude, who be gossiping?
That's corny, that's that's that's feminine.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like, that's corny to me?
Like why you always gossiping?
Why you always know tea?
I don't like what.
Speaker 1I'm saying in the physical form.
Speaker 3What's corny out in the physical form?
Speaker 2Nothing really to be I heard women say, man, his shoes, like I didn't like the shoes he had on.
Speaker 3Okay, well yeah what what the shoe?
Speaker 1Shit fucked up?
Speaker 3But no, I was gonna say, but the shoes.
Speaker 4We can switch it up, like I could buy you some new shoes, like we can get you together in the shoe department.
Speaker 3That's fine for me.
And this isn't corny.
Speaker 1I don't like baby well authentic arthotics, little orthoped you.
Speaker 4Well, I love you to be treated, but no, see this, Okay, So this isn't this isn't corny.
It's just a non negotiable for me.
I'm a teeth girl.
I'm a mouth girl.
Like that's the first thing I'm gonna look at when I meet you.
So like, if your teeth is fucked up, you got a whole bunch of No.
But it's not it's to me, it's not about that.
It's deeper than that.
Speaker 3If you have like plaque on your teeth, that means you don't flaws.
That means you never flaws because you.
Speaker 4Ever, because you let that ship build up.
Like so you don't take care of your mouth.
Your mouth is literally the portal to your whole body.
In fact, it carries so much diseases and so much bacteria, like so many things.
Because you don't take care of your mouth could go wrong in other areas of your body.
So that means you don't take care of yourself.
You don't care about health and wellness.
That's just very important to me.
And then also aesthetically, who wants to look at somebody and you talking to them and it's.
Speaker 1Buttery but the same way.
Speaker 2But this man got everything else except except teeth.
Everything else that you say on your list, You tell where you bought a nigga shoe, You can show them how to brush your teeth.
Speaker 3No, I can't showed you that.
Speaker 4I ain't hang now your other girlfriend.
I just feel like I always think it's so personally.
I think if a man has money, like as soon as you start get some money, even if your teeth.
Speaker 3Is fucked up, that should be the first thing you've fit.
Speaker 2But we're just talking about that.
We're just talking about that, like, well, them kid would go home with my teeth, like funk around, knock my teeth.
All I got money to do is pay the rent.
We finished sleep outside with new teeth in my.
Speaker 4Mouth, Like your teeth should be the first thing, like first thing this should be fixed.
Like I got veneers like three years ago, and I never even had like messed up teeth.
Speaker 3My normal teeth was nice.
Speaker 4I just didn't want to have to keep whitening my teeth because it was like, my gums are really sensitive.
Speaker 1So I was like, fuck my mouth, my shit fucked up?
Speaker 3Yeah you did used to have Yeah, yeah, I should have never got them mo shit for my get it had to get goddamn Rooke clails on all the ones at the top.
Speaker 1Yeah six playing my ship was fucked up.
Speaker 4See for me, I had braces when I was younger, but then when I wouldn't wear my retainer, my gap because I used to have a gap, it used to try to come back whenever I wouldn't wear the retainer, and then my gums were sensitive when I would always get my teeth whiten.
So I'm like, I want something a little more permanent.
But either way, as soon as I started getting some money for real, I was like, you know what, I'm a go get years.
I'm about to invest in my smile, in my teeth.
That should be the number one thing you do.
So if you walking around and you got everything that I need, but you ain't got your teeth fixed.
Speaker 2But you got the money, get my teeth fixed.
No, you got the money, We got the money, show me what to get my tea.
Speaker 3And if you didn't care enough, neither do I it's your teeth.
Speaker 2We're trying to be a team.
Speaker 3We bank.
We talked about first encounter.
Speaker 4We talking about I meet you at LIMEX walking through the mall.
Speaker 3You're like, hey, what's up.
Speaker 4You're trying to talk to me and I first thing I see is your mouth while we're talking.
No, we're not felding us.
Actually we can't even get today, damn, because nine times out of teen, I'm not even believing you got what you say you got.
Speaker 1It's another one, though, what's the other one?
Come on, keep going teeth next.
Speaker 3One for me?
Honestly, it's it's just it's teeth.
It's hygiene.
Hygiene is important too, So.
Speaker 1The man got good tea, good hygiene.
Speaker 4I don't mind hYP because I'm short myself, Like, I'm okay, but being short than me legal legal magie.
If you're shorten than me, you're legally imigie.
Speaker 1Niggas just ain't got no.
Speaker 4I don't know if I could, you know, I mean, we would have a handicapped stickle though it's park, might might be some parks to it, now that we think about it, y'all park anywhere we go?
Speaker 3I mean, I don't know.
That don't sound too shabby.
Speaker 4Actually, but I'm five too, so anybody shorter than me is, you know, pretty short.
Speaker 2I just don't understand.
I don't understand me personally.
I'm not trying to be fun.
I just don't understand what satisfied.
Speaker 3As a woman, like be more specific.
Speaker 1Okay, if you get a guy that checks off all those b uh huh, well not you.
We're gonna take it.
We're gonna unpersonalize this.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 1Have you ever met a friend?
Have you ever had a friend and.
Speaker 2You'd be like, this is a good dude, but she always got something else to say.
Speaker 4Yeah, I've had friends who have dated really good guys and then it's been things like communication and stuff like that.
But I don't think that though at the same time, because I think that if that's something that's important to you, like if you want to if you know for a fact that you're the type of woman where you need to talk to your man every day, and you talking to this man and he don't hit you up every day, or he don't check in on you at least once today.
Nobody's saying, y'all got to stay on the phone all day.
But if he don't check in with you at least once a day, and that's what you need to feel secure in the relationship.
I don't think that's wrong.
Everybody has different none negotiables.
Like for me personally, if I know my man is busy, we don't have to necessarily talk.
But like you can't think you might Nigga, you ain't gonna text me all day.
Speaker 3You better check in and be like, hey, what's up?
Speaker 1So what a compromise is coming in?
Like what part?
What?
Let me ask you some what are women willing to be?
Like?
Speaker 2Well, you know what, I know he ain't perfectly not God, So I'm gonna deal with this.
Speaker 4I think a lot of women have a hard time drawing the line between compromising and sediling, because when do we get more to sediling more than compromising.
Speaker 1About your pot you cooking.
I ain't gonna lie you cooking.
Speaker 3Cooks a little bit.
I guess that's why I do.
Speaker 1This, because.
Speaker 2You shifting me basically the question I'm asking you shifting them back in a perfect way.
What I'm saying is let me break this slow this ship down, and break it down.
What I'm saying is, have you ever met a woman that just couldn't be satisfied.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, I think that still single.
Speaker 2I'm saying that was in a relationship though, like you was like, I don't know, girl like that nigga was a good nigga.
Speaker 4Well yeah you was in a relationship and now you single.
Like I feel like we all have an unt grandmother somebody in our family.
We all have somebody like that who would never be satisfied, which matter where you think that comes.
Speaker 3From always thinking something better out there.
Speaker 1Damn.
Speaker 3I think it's been that way for a long time.
Like people have.
Speaker 4You've always had people who thought like I can always do better.
It's always something better until reality said in in you seventy.
Speaker 2But I know some seventy years old.
We were just talking about that today.
My mama Jed divorced the hud.
Speaker 1I'm like you the man for he's just like fuck that.
Speaker 3But how many times do you mind me asking how many times have she been married?
What?
Speaker 1One?
Speaker 3Oh?
Just to him?
Yeah and she just so they were married for a really she married.
Speaker 1A nigga about five six years ago.
Speaker 2Say I got man, Okay, Mom's straight Bullysh's mania, man, Because.
Speaker 4I feel like you do have the women out there who you know they've been married like five six times.
They just feel like I love him, and when he served his purpose and it's done, it's done, I'm leaving and I'm gonna.
Speaker 3Move on to the next person.
Speaker 4I think that's a level of unsatisfaction too, though, because I think when you meet the right person, you do have to compromise.
Speaker 3You gotta try to make it worse.
Speaker 1What's the right person for you?
Speaker 3I don't know if I met them.
Speaker 4I dated one person where I feel like we couldn't possibly be together.
But we both just have things that we need to work on.
But for me, it's somebody who's a good communicator, Somebody who is honest and transparent, Somebody that's affectionate, somebody that ain't cheat, somebody that is ambacious, God fearing, has.
Speaker 3A good relationship with his family, spectful.
I don't know.
I got a lot of things on.
At least we'll be seeing them all day.
Speaker 1And have you ever seen a guy like that before?
Speaker 4No, not with all of them, but the god the last guy in our dad.
Speaker 3He came close.
Speaker 1Yeah, so what was the problem with that?
Close?
Is good?
Man?
It's like throwing in grenade that shit count.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 4I just think we look at the world different sometimes, and I don't know if you can always make it work when you all look at the world different, because it's a mindset thing.
Speaker 3You know, you where is it where?
Speaker 1Like?
Speaker 4Ohhy, I love this person, but I don't want to change them because if I changed you, then you not who you are.
So then it's like, well, maybe we just not compatible because we don't really see things the same or do you do you even think that that's import because some people don't think that it's important to see the world the same when you're two people that's trying to come together and be a unique No.
Speaker 2I think you gotta be like minded to even be aligned, like if you if you're dealing with a person that y'all always disagree on.
Speaker 4Y'all ops, And it wasn't an always thing, but it was sometimes on important things.
Speaker 1But you know them, the tards always right though we're not.
Speaker 4We like to believe it though, he answer, but I can't believe you with a tourist.
Speaker 3That's crazy.
Speaker 4Geminis and tourisis no.
You know what we been getting along?
Speaker 1We do.
Speaker 3We understand each other a little bit, we both I feel like I feel like we both.
I feel like we're both the villains.
Speaker 1Both the villains.
I take that.
Speaker 4It's really yeah, you know, it's certain signs that people just don't like.
I feel like people don't like geminis, people don't like sagittary sees, people don't like tourists and scorpios, scorpios and leos leo's too.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1I think that's because it's unfiltered.
Speaker 2Basically, like whatever we say, we said, if how it come off, it ain't really no apologizing about it, Like bro that said what it is.
I don't know how else to tell you no or nigga fuck with nigga regular teeth.
Speaker 1I don't nobody else to say that.
Speaker 2Yeah, hey, answer word with a word.
Speaker 1First word, come to your mama, sale word and you ready.

Speaker 5Obsession, obsession, scary, that's a little scary.
Speaker 3Growth, transparency, that over.
Speaker 4Spandy power, power mm hmm.
I feel like, damn, I don't even know what word I want to say today.
It's a double edged swore that's not one word, but pre cool, circumstantial, you know, nah, thank you, hustle, grind, secrets, protection, lies, Why y'all I think that you know what's crazy crazy enough?

It needs so much freedom in letting go of control and just letting people be who they are, because if you let people be who they are, then you will realize maybe this is a person that's okay, that I'm okay with them being in my life, or maybe I'm not.
But I think when you try to get people to conform and try to get them to be who you want them to be, then do not letting them freely be themselves.
So it's like, would you have them in your life if you weren't trying to influence the outcome?
