Speaker 1 (01:28):
Mind, where a drunk mind speaks sober thoughts.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
We ain't got no gifts today, we ain't got no
guests today. You know that in their seats jumping up
and down because they love to hear that.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I mean, And lately we've been having a lot of
guests we have. Don't blame them, but it's a blessing.
It is. I love having guests I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
It's great to get other people's perspective, you know, hear
their thoughts and it's just a good time. Like I
feel like we have rarely ever had guests on Poor
Minds where it was like not goodbye, like you don't
mean a few that I wasn't that fond of.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Absolutely, okay, okay, but it's way.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
More people that I loved and then people that I didn't.
I think that that's probably only like two. I was
just about that we had on the show that I
was like, you ain't never got to worry about coming,
You ain't got the word bout be, you ain't got
to worry about me, baby.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
I can agree, because I was about to say there's
probably like one or two because I yeah, yeah, what
I would say, Like, I just feel this show is
just so different because we just bring people out. They
shall and they always have them all. So it's very rare.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
People come here and don't have a good time.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah, it's always good vibes in a great time. I
can't honestly state it.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
So we can do a little catch up, you know,
what do we know you on y'all what you're doing hard?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Seventy five? Seventy five? Are I am? I am still

be done, really so are we?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah? Oh yeah, I'm excited. That's really it though.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Like I said, I feel like when you be doing
challenges and detoxes and stuff, your life's just be pretty born, like,
cause what are you doing? Like, I don't really go
out to eat because I'm eating really clean, so I
can't really go and if I'm just gonna eat salmon
and broccoli everywhere I go every That's what I'm saying,
I could just cook that at home and eat it
at home. So I don't really go out to eat.

(03:26):
I'm not drinking, so I haven't really went to like
any social events or anything recently. I did see this
list though, for the month of March, like of all
the things that's kind of going on in Atlanta, and
it was a few things on.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
There that I was like, Oh, maybe I'll go do that.

Speaker 3 (03:42):

up in Atlanta.

Speaker 1 (03:47):

like I can't eat the tacos or drink.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
You canna have a chicken taco.

Speaker 1 (03:54):

Salmon tacos is all going for me. You can have
a fish choco. You like fish tacos. You like fish
tacos be ordered.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I don't really like them though, Like I'll order it
if that's all that's on the meaning. And I go
to like a Mexican restaurant, but I prefer steak or
cheek okay or something like you know, maybe what's something
back eating steak?

winter months, but I'll be struggling so bad, and then
I'm kind of like I'm starting to get out of
my little funk, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
But because you know, when that sun's out, buns up,
I love the song.

Speaker 2 (05:06):

we're gonna have a lot of fun still over here
at poor Chronicles.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
So make sure y'all tune in September second it's going down.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Thanks for the first topic. I really wanted to talk
about lucky gross syndrome. You know, like, have you ever
had something fall in your lap with no effort and

(13:55):
you didn't really have to go hard to giddy? I
think some people think that, Like I think people probably
could look at us and probably think we're just lucky.
You know that's not true though, I mean it might
not be true, but you know, everything is about perception.
I think that's the perception that people can have, and
I think in life some people really feel like some
people are just lucky, and others feel like they're just unlucky,

(14:18):
like they were just built bad cards.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Life isn't there.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
So how do you feel about the concept of being lucky,
because then you have people who don't even believe luck
is a real thing.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Like you have people who believe.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
That everything you get in life is a result of
the work that you put in.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
So I believe in look I do, Okay, I believe
in luck.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
I believe sometimes the chance happening. Things happen, right, I
think sometimes, like I'll use social media for example, right,
a lot of times somebody will have a viral moment,
like the Hawk Tour girl will use her for example,
you know what I'm talking about? Probably not, I know,
I know, I know, AUNTI gonna cat you. Well, Auntie
gonna catch you up. So the Hawk Tour girl, or
it's a girl that had did a random interview, you

(15:02):
know how them YouTubers be on the street interviewing people,
and she was like he asked her some question and
she was like talking about giving head and she's like,
you know when I do it, I just hoped to
spit on that thing and it went crazy, right, it
went viral. It was literally you could not scroll TikTok
without seeing the hop to a clip.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
So this girl had.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
This viral moment and she started a podcast, got all
these brand deals. I mean, she's at these festivals, hosting,
doing interviews, you know what I'm saying. So I think
that luck is a real thing, because who in that moment,
like you know you do. We do funny shit all
the time, and some things go viral and sometimes they don't.
But sometimes things just hit. So I do think that

(15:45):
is what luck is like, sometimes things just hit and
it's funny. But I think luck is cool. But it's
a difference between luck and really having longevity with it.
Cause how lucky are you if you have a moment
that doesn't do nothing? Like it's cool to go viral
and make a little money. But I feel like anytime
you see somebody that is in a successful position, it's

(16:07):
not luck. It's maybe luck mixed with hard work and opportunity.
But those three mixed together, that's when you get some
real shit. But luck can only go so far.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
So luck is cool.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
You know, I might get lucky and hit the lottery
and get five million dollars, But what's luck if I
don't know how to keep that five million dollars? So
luck is cool, But what you're gonna do with that.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
That's fair.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
I mean, I definitely feel like, I don't know, I
feel like it's a.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Mixture of both.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
To me, it's definitely like what you said, it's some
people just kind of happen to be in the right
place at the right time. But it's about what you're
going to do with it, because yeah, you got this opportunity,
but if you didn't maximize it, it just doesn't really matter, right.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
And a lot of people, I hate to say this,
and it's no shade, no see, but a lot of
people like they really aren't talented. So y'all have somebody
who has like a little viral moment or somebody who
are not even talented, I'll say, or have the skills skills.
I'll use the word skills because I want to use
other examples, like somebody who come up on some money.

(17:16):
Like I had a friend, one of my best friends
from high school, right, and she had started a job
and it was one of those jobs that like give
you stocks whenever you first start the job with one
of the benefits. Right, something happened with the stock market
and they all got a whole bunch of money. Like,
I mean, she hit like a million dollars or something crazy, right,

(17:38):
and she was going trips, buying bags, partying, and when
I tell you she has nothing now, and it was
like a stop, Like you know what I'm saying, Like
that could have been something that could have lasted you
a lifetime. So that's why I say luck is cool.
But that's why I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm
not that lucky of a person. I am not a
lucky person. She do not be hitting for me. My shit,

(18:01):
do not slap, I think so my shit do not
slap at all. But I think I have an amazing
life because I know how to take advantage of my
skills and the opportunity. So I think you can make
things like Okay, it's like the triangle, right, you got luck,
you got skill, and you got opportunity.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
So luck is cool.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
But I would rather have the skill and the opportunity
if I had to choose out of that three, if
you got to choose one out of the three or
two out of the three, luck, I don't need luck
to make shit happen. Luck is cool, but so lucky
girl syndrome is a thing.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
I think that you definitely should want to have the
skill and the opportunity for sure over having Look, but
you know, I don't know, I think I have. I
think I'm kind of lucky when I really think about it. Yeah,
because I feel like a lot of stuff that be
happening to me, or that has happened to me, it
doesn't happen to like every average person, or it doesn't
happen to like people on a normal basis. Like I

(18:57):
could look at a lot of instances in my life
and be like, Okay, that was probably look, you know,
just being in the right place at the right time,
meeting the right person at the right time. But I
think that you I think that even with me being lucky,
having skill and opportunity and knowing when to take advantage
of opportunity is what has gotten me to the places

(19:17):
that I'm at, Because I do think you could be
lucky and not know how to take advantage of the opportunity,
and that's where a lot of people fall short, or
like you said, mismanaging the opportunity when you get it,
so I e. Getting a million dollars and not knowing
what to do with it. Now you broken. I don't
think that could happen to me. I don't like, could

(19:39):
they never. I do believe in never saying never though,
I do believe in that because you just never know
where life will take you and what will happen.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Anything could happen to anybody at any moment.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
But I don't think I would ever be a person
who gets a million dollars and ends up broken just
because I know what to do with I'm gonna figure
out what to do with it. Yeah, even if I don't,
I know, I'm gonna figure out what to do with it.
I think people people don't realize. And it's not to
say that a million dollars is not a lot of money,
because it is a lot of money. But I think

(20:08):
that when people see that kind of money in their
bank account and they've never seen that before, they be like, Oh,
let me go buy everything I ever wanted. And that's cool.
You know, you should definitely go buy you a house,
should definitely go buy you a practical car. But going
spend crazy amounts of money.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Like taking fifty dollar vacation.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah, taking fifty thousand dollar vacations, going to Louis, going
to Chaneill's, splurgeing, buying like two hundred thousand dollars worth
of stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
That's craziness. You need to figure. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
I mean, and nothing and even with that for example,
because it's like do nice things for yourselff. If you
get a million dollars, Yeah, buy yourself a barking that's
fifteen thou twenty thousand, maybe thirty thousand dollars one. No,
don't go by teams. Yeah, you get what I'm saying. Like,
it's just all about what you do when you have opportunities.
And I think people be thinking, oh, I got this money,

(21:00):
I ain't never going I ain't gonna never go back now,
but you will if you don't know how to handle
the blessings there.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
God right, I agree. Do you remember a song Lucky
by Britney Spears. She's lucky, she's a star.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
See talking about that.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
As soon as she asked the question, I was over
here singing it.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
She akes up, there's a knock, knock knock on the do.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
And see we could do we But I don't know.
I cannot believe.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Lucky Lucky was a story and I think it was
like Britney Spear, the girl's name was Lucky and she
was like a Hollywood star. Yeah, like Brittany played the
character in the music video and the girl's name was Lucky,
and she was like a Hollywood star. But you know
all that glitters that ain't gold. You know what I'm saying.
It was a it's such a good song.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Shout out to my girl, brit Yeah, they don't you
know she likes to dance.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
In them panties And we're gonna talk about it every week,
But she really gave us some box do we not
gonna talk about it every week?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Actually, this probably would be the last time, if I'm
being completely hony. What you think about lucky girl syndrome, Well,
to quote the great Queen Oki manad period, no, I'm
not lucky. I'm blessed, yes, but no, for real, I
agree with you on the three categories. I would change
blessed to lucky for me because that's just me and

(22:23):
my spirituality. But I do agree that opportunity meets preparation
and that leads to like everything that you need, but
also what you put into the universe comes back to
you putting out that good energy, setting those manifestations, affirmations
and intentions. That is really the motivation to kind of
keep going through it, right, Yeah, I agree with that.

(22:43):
I definitely think that what you get, like, what you
get out of life is a product of like what
you put in like depending on what type of partson
you are. I feel like sometimes that's why people be
feeling unlucky if I'm being honest, like you feel like
fucked up shit always happening to you, or you feel
like you don't have good look because what are you
putting out?

Speaker 1 (23:01):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (23:02):
I feel like I'm always going out into the world
treating people how I want to be treated, right.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
I don't do bad by people.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
I always try to do good by everybody, even if
situations don't work out. I'm not even like a getback person.
I feel like life's gonna get you back. God gonna
get you bad. God be doing all of my Yeah,
I don't have to worry about those things.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I just move on with my life.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
And I feel like, because I've always been that type
of person, that's why blessings look as you know, some
people might want to call it flows into my life
all the time because it's about what you put out.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Some people are terrible fucking people.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
And then they wonder why, and if I'm really being honest,
people who bad stuff always be happening too, I kind
of just do always look at them and be like I.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Stupumping at myself.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah, because why is something bad always happening?

Speaker 1 (23:49):
And why are you always going through it? Why?

Speaker 2 (23:53):
And especially when it be situations that I feel like
sometimes are like avoidable, you know what I mean? But
you always going through something? You the common denominator. You're
not unlucky. It's just about the decisions and actions that
you be making.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
That's why your life is going the way.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
So I do want to make a point to what
Ta said, because she said she will change lucky and blessed,
cause I feel like, no, I'm not lucky because when
I look at luck, I look at like a once
in a lifetime opportunity happening that don't happen to me.
I'm not lucky, Like I'm not lucky at all, a
lottery Yeah, stuff like I never just like walk across
the mall, the man be like, oh, let me come

(24:29):
by you with you now. I'm not lucky, Like I'm
not lucky. My shit be fucked up. It's never me,
It's never me. But when it comes to blessings. Now,
now I am extremely blessed, like my blessings literally overflow.
So I do think it is I don't think you can, Like,
I see what you're saying about interchanging lucky and blessed,

(24:51):
but I don't think that that's the same thing, because
I feel like luck is something like it's a chance happening,
and it can happen to anybody. It can happen to
the worst fucking person in the world. Blessings don't happen
to good people. That's how I feel. Luck can happen
to the fucking level.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Blessings don't happen to bed.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah, I'm sorry. Blessings don't happen to bad people. Luck
can happen to the worst person. The worst person you
know can hit the lottery tomorrow, the worst person you
know could get something like a random viral moment and
you see them on TV everywhere and see.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's why I do feel like they're interchangeable. Because blessings
don't always come from God neither. It depends on if
you really want to get deep into the spiritual bag.
Sometimes blessings don't be coming from Him, they coming from
other places.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
I think everybody can get blessings. I do feel like
they're interchangeable. I agree with you. I think look and
blessings are interchangeable because I think even with blessings, people
can sometimes look at your blessings and be like, oh
my god, that's a once in a lifetime opportunity. I
could never see something like that happening for me. It
just depends on people's perspective in their religious background, because

(25:55):
some people are not religious, so they gonna look at
it like, oh, this person is just lucky. But I
definitely think that they're interchangeable. And I think for those
that feel like, like, think about blessings more than luck,
they're not really worried about luck either, because we're not
searching for that once in a life right because everything
we know that everything that's gonna come to us is
far better good and it's alignment, you know what I mean.

(26:17):
So I feel like it's kind of people look at
it both ways, right, right. I think for me, I'm
I'm blessed. I feel that way too. I definitely feel
like it be blessings and look though. That's why I said,
I do feel like they're interchangeable because certain stuff that
have happened to me is definitely just it was a
blessing from God because I feel this way. I feel
like nothing in your life is going to happen unless

(26:39):
God wants it to happen. You a believer, if you
really believe in God, then it's like everything that you
get is coming from him. It's all coming from Him,
and it wouldn't have happened if He wanted to happen.
So I definitely feel like, Okay, this was a blessed,
it was luck, but it only happened because God allowed.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
It to happen, right, And I agree with you on
that because because God will really try to guide you
if you pay attention, because like you said, blessings cannot
all blessings can be something that comes coming from another place. Yeah,
so if you're not right, so if you pay attention
to God's guidance, he gonna guide you the right way

(27:18):
that you're supposed to be going every time, so you'll know, Okay,
is this a blessing or is this something that's you know,
shit covered and glitter a lesson, a lesson?

Speaker 1 (27:28):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (27:30):
So I definitely do agree with you on that. But
like I said, I feel like when I think about
like me being unlucky, like I said, I just don't
feel like things happen for me like oh, a viral moment,
and it's just like, oh, I'm on TV because you
see some people who go viral. Next thing, you know,
they on the red carpet at the Oscars doing interviews

(27:50):
like the stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
You know, don't really like if.

Speaker 3 (27:53):
We get on the Oscars and we interview and it's because, nigga,
we've been fucking working for six years to get there,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
So I guess that's what I mean.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
But I can't. I can say I'm blessed. But that's
an interesting that wasn't even the topic.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
But yeah, I mean because the way I look at
it too, is like sometimes a person will do something
and it will go viral, but they've been.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Hustling for a long time.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
So I feel like sometimes even with these people who
will finally go viral, they've been doing that shit for
a long time, Like that that influencer that had that
classy very classy. Yes, they Lebron had been doing content
for a really, really long time. So it's kind of like,
is that look like, yeah, it took him out of

(28:37):
there or her out of there.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
I don't know what they go by.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
But like it took them out of there, but they
have been putting the work in.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah, and so it's like, can you really call that look?

Speaker 3 (28:46):
Well, not with that person particularly, but like if you
think of like a bad baby, but she.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Said catch me outside.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
How about that she was on Doctor Phild being a
badass white girl and then she but what she did,
but it took that look and she turn it into
an opportunity. So you know, that's what I'm saying. It's
a difference between that versus the hot tour girl. She
had the opportunity to make it into something that she
didn't because she didn't have the skill to me personally,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
I mean that's why I don't. I don't know who
that is. Yeah, exactly, exactly, That's what I'm saying, Like.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
That, what do these people know who she is? If
they watching? Yeah, you know, I like to get into
this news sometimes.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Because sometimes I feel like, yeah, if no, if it
was a big moment like that, everybody should know about it.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Well this is the thing though, so what's crazy about it?
Is that be the difference between like mainstream media because
it was very mainstream, but the.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Things that get mainstream.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Is this like they gonna talk about it all Like
I said, I'm not kidding. It was everywhere and when
was this was this? Like yeah, it was like what
last year or maybe the year before last? And then
she started a podcast, she signed with barstool.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
It was like a whole big fiend. What happened to
her pocket?

Speaker 3 (30:03):
I think she just stopped it because something happened where
she started, not a bitcoin. She got into something with
bitcoin and told what everybody to invest and then she
ended up pulling out. So it's like a whole bunch
of legal stuff she's.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Going through right now.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
But she's like in hiatus right now basically, So either
way it goes, like I said, But a lot of
that blessing and opportunity and luck stuff that we go into,
that's another topic that we talked about before. It's different
for this than it is for this too. At the
same time, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
That's that's definitely a fair argument, because I mean, it
is what it is.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
We just have to work a little harder for things
that they don't have to work as hard.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
For right, right, right.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
But I do think lucky girl syndrome is a thing.
I think some people really just are lucky.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
I don't. I don't know, because I just.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
You know, how I be feeling about these topics. I
just always kind of feel like sometimes it just really
be about what you do, though, like what you do
with your life and the type of person that you are,
because I don't necessarily think that I believe that anybody
just gets anything because they're looking.

Speaker 3 (31:14):
Well, that's what I'm saying. That's the difference for me.
I think if somebody has blessings in their life, that's
because they're putting good in the world and they're getting
good back. Luck can happen to anybody. Blessings happen to
the good people. That's the difference for me, That's what
I was saying. Yeah, so I do think lucky girl
syndrome is a thing because luck can happen to anybody.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
I feel like blessings only.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
Happen to the blessed. Okay, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Like chance, yes, like yes, fifty chance whatever, right, right.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
So I guess that's what I'm saying. Like, like I said,
I don't feel I'm lucky at all, because not because
I'm a bad person, just because I don't.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Luck don't be on my side for some reason.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
But blessings, oh baby, God don't show up for me
every time when it comes to the blessing time. All right,
drinking today while we drank.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
It's good. I'm almost good. I'm glad you like it. So,
since we're like into the spring, spring gets sprung.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
We're talking about blessings and luck and opportunity. This one
is gonna be called Everything's coming up roses, okay, And
so what we have in it. We have some grapefruit,
We have some lemons, some lime, some lavender syrup, and
then I have some high biscuits syrup.

Speaker 1 (32:21):

Speaker 2 (32:22):
And then we garnish it with three dehydrated rosebuds, a
very floral, very light, very spring.

that rosebud.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Eight, on the People Who keep everything.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
My sister is like that, and she had a time
capsule from high school. Real I wish I would have
had something like that, a time capsule.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
My best friend Jazmine is like that.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
She has like photo albums, like ten photo albums full
of like pictures of us from high school, from colleague,
like literally and like I'm talking about y'all, like.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Books and books and books.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
She'd still be wearing her high school t shirts period
when she.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
Go to sleep and stuff.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Like when I'll get on FaceTime with her, she'd be
having on our two thousand and five homecoming in two
I mean not two thousand and five, two thousand and
six homecoming T shirt, and I'd be like, how do
you still have that? Like get rid of so much stuff?
And I wish that I kept stuff too, But like
that's why I'd be glad I got her, because I'd
be like, if anything grew up copy there.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Yeah, my sister's like that. She's like a pack ride.
She keeps everything. But I'm so happy that she's like
that because she has so much stuff. Like my mom
was good with pictures too, so we have like so
many pictures of when I was little. Now what I
wish I had a video camera when I was little
and I used to record everything. I wish I had
those videos. I don't know where they are because I

(36:06):
used to record. I was vlogging before vlogging was a fiend.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Imagine we had I cloud makes. Oh your food, yes.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
I would have all of it. Talk, how are you
a pack rad?

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (36:20):
I've been getting rid of a lot of stuff, like
kept a lot of my mom's stuff and actually pastations
helping me get rid of a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
But I'm getting better because now I want to be
a little bit just more minimalistic instead of holding everything.
But I remember we had like those digital cameras with
the floppy disk.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yes, like we had those. Yes, everything used to be there.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Yeah, I wish I still had my old digital camera
from like high school and stuff. But I don't know
where they said, because what was the name of that
little website where everybody used to upload their pictures? I
cannot remember what it was called. Remember, yes, I cannot
remember what it was called. But huh no, tumbler it No,

(37:04):
it was just like a website where you could just
upload all of your camera files. But I can't remember
what the wind site was called, and if I'd be
wondering if it's still up, and I be wishing I
could remember my log in. I'm about to def still
on there because like my Space is still upright, right,
but Flicker, yes, a Flicker account. But I couldn't even

(37:27):
tell y'all what email I was using, what password I
was using, anything. But I used to upload all my
pictures on there when I was in middle school, in
high school, and I just just gone memory.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Right, that's all saying about my space. My Space is
still up, but I had deleted my mos space. I remember,
but I'm like, why did I do that?

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Yeah? That could have been like something I just kept
up when we be young. You just don't be thinking
about that.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
You got the people who do, like your sister, yes,
and like me, because I wish I was thinking like
that big then.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Like, I have a.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Friend she literally has all of our yearbooks from kindergarten
until we graduated, every single year.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Now I do have all my yearbooks from high school.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yeah I don't have I have like two from high school.
Yeah they had.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Well, all my stuff is at my mom house, but
she have all my well, she has all my pictures
from like kindergarten up until I graduated from college. And
then she has all of my yearbooks from high school.
And then my mom even have all her yearbooks from
high school.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
Yeah, that's the see my mom had her I think
I have one or two yearbooks from my mom's high school.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Babe.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
They used to love them afros.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
See when my mama was in high school, they used
to do it a little silk prissy, she ain't they
had afros.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
It was like, so when my mom was in high school,
it was when they were trance. They were doing they
were doing afros, but they started doing the Jerry curls. Okay,
so like half of the yearbook got afros and half
of them got Jerry curls. So they were making that
transition to ooh, my mama, shit used.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
To be juicy.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
What that's the only thing about Jerry curls. I'm like,
how did people used to wear their hell like they like?

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Every juice? Everything you lean on something you lean mark juicy.
You know what let your song blow? I guess and
what it is.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
It's like my mom, I don't think she ever grew
out of it, because she still used to make her
hair real, Yes, because my mom, like she had like
really curly hair. Like my hair is like I have
like four C hair. My mom had like four A
four B, so hers is a little curlier than mine.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
But I mean she loved it juice down. I mean
she would have a little dripping.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
I mean, I do feel like you gotta keep it moisturized, girl,
to keep your hair moisturized.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Nobody want to know dry.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
I used to call a juicy crab chap all of that.
Why juicy crab? Because it was juicy hen you met? No,
that's not the right song to sing. Talking another shot, Yes,
all right, we're gonna move on.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
To the topic too.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
So the second today, and this kind of ties into
what we were just talking about. It's cloud more important
than talent and how social media has changed success. So
do you think the industry still respects real talent or
is it all about engagement in numbers now? So I
do want to give an example because I saw this

(40:19):
when I was kind of like doing a little research
on this topic.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Somebody said, nowadays you have.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
People like like an Addison Ray or a what's her
name Charlie d'millio, and they're extremely popular on teeps talking.
They're in movies and I'm not talking about regular movies,
like they're in like these A list movies, right because
of their audience that can bring in. But they're not
necessarily talented. So they feel like if Halle Berry was

(40:48):
coming up in twenty twenty five, would she be Halle
Berry in twenty twenty five because maybe she doesn't have
a following, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
So, how do you feel this cloud?

Speaker 3 (40:57):
Is cloud more important than talent in twenty twenty five?

Speaker 2 (41:02):
No, I don't think so, because it's so many people
who have blown up over the past few years and
they didn't have a following, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
I don't think talent matters, okay.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
Necessarily, but I don't think it's about cloud because, like
I said, a lot of people don't have that huge
following and then oh you got discovered.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Now you do have the people like that.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
But a lot of the time, for me, it's more
a lack of talent, Like people just are not talented
and they just be blowing up for doing the bare
minimum so in the career path that they choose, and like,
your music not that great, but you still blew up
on kind of way. Your accent not that great, but
you're fine? Are you attractive? Like the thing about halle

(41:44):
Berry that nobody could discredit her for she can really
ask like, yeah, she's beautiful, and I do think that
that may have something to do with her success.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
But halle Berry is a great action. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
Well she said that that hindered her, her beauty hindered
her back.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
I can believe that because people probably you didn't take
her series rights. I think people don't never look at
beauty from that standpoint, Like people look at beautiful people
kind of like what we were just talking about in
the first topic, Oh, they so lucky because you're beautiful,
But people don't never think how think about how sometimes
being overly attractive can like hinder you because people won't
take you serious and certain positions.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
So I one hundred percent agree with you, But I
also think, like y'all just be complaining and y'all not
working hard enough, because a lot of times people be like, oh,
I don't have a following, so I'm not gonna get
cast for this movie. No you're not getting cast before
the movie, because yeah, you're probably not. I mean, I
told y'all I took, I'm taking acting classes.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
I'm big, not good.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Ain't nobody finna put me in a movie just because
poor mind's be doing one point three million views a month.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
I mean they might, though it ain't happen yet.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
I mean it haven't happened yet, but they it might
because it's a lot of people who have got cast
it in right and cast it in TV rolls just
because they have a following, a following on social media.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
So I do agree that that does happen, Like people
get cast it for roles just because they're, like, I
want their fan base.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
I say this all the time.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
I truly believe, like Tyler Perry had put Kim Kardashian
in that movie what was it, Confessions of a Temptations, Like,
you know, Kim only had a few lines, and they
were advertising it like she's gonna be in a whole
movie and she had like a few lines.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
She didn't do bad.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
It wasn't like she was terrible, but she didn't have
much to carry or much to do. But he did
that as a strategy because Kim Kardashian, her star was
going up at the time. So I do believe that
people get casted in certain movies because of their fan base.
But for the people who feel like they're not getting
casted because they don't have a following or their song
is not blowing up because they don't have a following.

(43:39):
Do these industry people care about a following, Yes, they do.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
But I truly believe that if you were talented and.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
You got that it factor and you have that work ethic,
it's gonna happen for you. So I don't like when
people be like, I don't have a following, so I'm
not it's not gonna it's not happening for me because
I'm good and I'm great, but I don't have a following,
so I'm not gonna get.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Picked, or maybe it's just not in your path.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
I feel like people be feeling to realize that stuff too,
Like sometimes just because it's top faith over here yet
I mean for real though, Like I think it's so
many people in this world who want to do things
that don't align with the plan for them, you know
what I mean? And especially kind of because I know
everybody is not a believer. But going back to like

(44:25):
spirituality religion, there is a plan for your life, and
like if you're doing things that are not on the
plan for your life, it might not work out even
if it's not. And again, outside of being a believer,
I still feel like the universe kind of conspires to
make things work in your favor when it's supposed to work,
when it's supposed to happen, And if it's not supposed

(44:49):
to happen, sweetie, it's just never gonna happen. And sometimes
he just doesn't have anything to do with luck. It's
just maybe you putting your focus on something that's not
you're purpose, or it's not what you're supposed to be doing.
Maybe you might want to be an actress, but being
in actresses not your calling, right.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
Even like a lot of times we'll see people who
are amazing singers. You'll see people who sting back up
for somebody and they sing better than the actual singer.
But what y'all have to realize too, is like we
don't know what that it factor is, but you either
have it or you don't. That's why we see a
lot of people. People can say all day up and down,

(45:27):
use again, Britney Spears cannot sing, but she had that
it factor, you know what I'm saying. Like people say
the same. They say who else they be saying that
about who can't sing?

Speaker 1 (45:38):
They say that about Beyonce, which I think is out.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
Now that's a little different. J Lo can't sing. But
let me tell you what she can do. She can
make a mom calm out her mother ass.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah she can because that was more of her calling, right,
But you can't.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
But at the same time, but you can't say wedding bulgn.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
No.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
My song was if you my loving that day? Do
y'all remember what I mean? She made head ellie.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
Remember she started off at the backup dancer on in
Living Color.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
So she worked her way up.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Into each of these different dancing to singing to acting.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
Yes she did, because her breakout thing was Selena and
the lady that they were trying to cast for Selena.
Something had happened with her. She didn't get casted, so
it wasn't even supposed to be j Lo.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah, and she ate that up. She that Selena rolled up.

Speaker 3 (46:37):
You know, they made a list of people who should
have gotten oscars who didn't. They did no, no, they
just didn't win. So Jyl was on there for Selena.
Angela Bassett was on there for Tina Turner, Heath Ledger
was on there for Broke Back Mountain.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
It was actually a.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Really good list and I was surprised that these people
didn't win. Yeah, Oscar for the role, but Jaylo definitely
deserved Oscar for Selena.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
No, she ate that up. She really did.

Speaker 2 (47:04):
She did her because that was probably one of my
faceite dude, hell, why are you making asks?

Speaker 1 (47:11):
That's what she would do because that's how so listen.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
They talked about j Loo doing that with her lips
and poking her lips out like that.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
They're like she was doing too much.

Speaker 3 (47:21):
If you look up Selena singing, Selena used to do
the same thing. I mean, Jlo studied down for that role.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
I mean it was like that was one of her
best acting ms and made in Manhattan. Yeah, but I
also liked enough. I feel like she did a really
good job and enough.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
She was whooping up boy else she did.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
A really good job, like that was a very serious role,
and I feel like she cuted like Jlo can really
act to me, I feel like, and I don't feel
like she can't sing, like I hate.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
She can catch a note, yeah, like I hate, but she.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
Can't say she can't sing.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
I feel like, yeah, she can hold a little now,
but it's a lot of people who just can hold
an out. But I feel like that's where a lot
of other things go into it as far as just
having an eat factor, because I feel like even with
her that was probably like okay, like she can't just sing,
but she can hold, but she can hold a no,
she beautiful, she can dim. She had so many other

(48:16):
factors that it's like, Okay, this.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
Is a start.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
What do y'all think the IT factor is? Because nobody
has ever defined it? What do y'all think it is?
Because I don't think it could be defined, right.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
I think it's about your aura though, like people say,
like if I come in a room, dang, you just
like you change the energy and the energy, and I
think it has a lot to do with that, and yeah,
combining that with your skill, with like your motivation and stuff.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Like that, I think it's yeah.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
I mean some people, like you just view them and
you're like wow, yeah, like you're just mesmerized by their presence.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Like some people, you know, just have that.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
And I see that a lot when I see people perform,
and I'm just not an easily impressed person, but it
be some people. I look at I'm like, oh, yeah,
she got like and I don't know what it is.
I can never explain it. I can never explain it.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
But y'all have it, like I would say, y'all have
it like when I first met y'all, was like, oh okay,
Like yeah, yeah, I just think you know what I
always say because I hate to be the bereau of
bad news, but sometimes I just always feel like it
just goes back into life just not being fair. I

(49:27):
think that be like a tough reality that a lot
of people don't want to accept. And that's why you
can't really put a finger on what it is sometimes
because it's just kind of like it was meant to
be that way, like it was ordained, it was orchestrated
that way.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
That's why it happened that way, versus I don't know.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Some people, it just don't never happened for them, and
I feel like, no matter how hard they try, how
much work they put in, it just don't happen, and
it just be you know, unfortunate, insad because life just
is in.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
But I do feel like real talent always finds its way.
I'm not trying to be funny, No, because let me
tell you why. Real talent finds its way. This is
why I say this. Y'all know I always talk about bitch.
I thought I was finna be the biggest rapper singer out.
I used to go to the studio.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
I used to really be in the studio.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
Like we laughing because it's funny now, but I really
thought I was finna be baby Beyonce.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
You couldn't tell me.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
I was like, this is what I'm supposed to do,
and that was not my But I'm talented in other avenues,
so I knew I was gonna be on stage. I
don't know what I was gonna be on stage, No,
I just didn't know what doing what.

Speaker 1 (50:41):

Speaker 3 (50:42):
So I feel like real talent, if you're talented and
whatever that may be, singing, dancing, writing, producing, you gonna find.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
Your way to where you need to be.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
So even though I wasn't on stage, I'm telling y'all,
when I was little, me and my friend Jazmine.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Shout out to Jazmine.

Speaker 3 (50:59):
I don't want to her last name because y'all be
looking up people on Facebook and stuff. So me and
Jazz and literally we used to sit in her living room,
me and her and Lindsey, and they used to play
like they were e news reporters and they used to
interview me. Literally every time we would play this game,
I would always be the star. So since I was little,
I always would see myself on stage, but I didn't
know what I was doing. Every time we would play

(51:20):
this game, I would be like, oh, thank you so much,
like I would always be thanking.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
Them for my work. I'm like, what am I doing?

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Though, But I'm saying I always saw myself on stage.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
I didn't know necessarily was gonna be a podcast, yeah,
but I ended up on stage.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
So that's why I feel like, when you're really talented
and it's ordained for you to share who you are
with the world. Like one thing I take pride is
that we make people feel good. Y'all can say what
y'all want about our topics and what we talk about
and what we do, but we make people feel good,
and we needed to spread that to the world and
give it to the world. So if your talent is
supposed to be seen by the world, God gonna make

(51:55):
sure that. That's why I said, real talent always gonna
find his way.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
That's fair. You feel me, I feel you, okay, just
making sure you feel me, you feel you know I
I do have feel me out now, feel me out,
feel me out now.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
I do have a different perspexive, but I do. I
feel like that's fair.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
That's fair. Okay, okay, all right, let us know what
y'all think.

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Do y'all feel like cloud is more important than talent,
and our people with real talent, you know, often looked
over for people.

Speaker 2 (52:27):

Reason I want to bring this up, it's because I

take this moment because you know what, We're gonna start
the time right now. Because this motherfucker is a low down, dirty, greasy,
thick ass bitch that nobody gives a fuck about. And

(53:51):
we are tired, and we are tired of logging on
to X and seeing the shit that you have to say,
and the day that your mouth is closed forever, it's
too soon, because I cannot.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
Wait till we never have to hear your thoughts again.
Came her you around, Kanye, Yes.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
I'm tired.

Speaker 4 (54:18):
I'm tired.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
I have had enough, and he said something about Slim Thug.
He said, Slim Thug, the realist nigga, I know is
something like that. I know you watched Poor Mindes with
your thick ass. I know you did.

Speaker 1 (54:31):
He probably not gonna see these studies, you not, but
you never know what he gonna do.

Speaker 3 (54:35):
Because he got mad because I sat on the couch
and said, you know you lost the Kim Kardashian. You're
not getting that again.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
I said what I said talking about Slim duff. Slim
is a real nigga. I fuck with slimm Kanye.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
But I so now it's time to get into the w.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
A bow A bow. I cannot wait to talk to
you about something when we in this.

Speaker 3 (55:09):
Girl.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
It's just some tea.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
I forgot to tell you, but it just came to
mind when when we was talking.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Okay, okay, so I can't wait. I'm excited. Okay.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
So the bad topic for today is the wildest excuse
you've used.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
To get out of bad sex.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
Now mm hmm. Have you ever been like mid stroke
and you was thinking like how the hell do I
get out of here? Or you know, like you take
a phone call pretend like, you know, your period just hit.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Like, have you ever been like mid stroke? Would have
me and you're like, this is not good, This is
not good.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
I haven't never been midstroke and felt that way. But
I definitely have had to lie to leave just because
I don't want to be here no more, like I'm
ready to go really go home. So I feel like, yeah,
I definitely have had to lie to leave and act
like I had to go do something.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
I've lied and said I've had emergency.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
I done lie on my mama, sorry.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Mine, damn. I So you know what, for me, I've
never made it like an excuse like get out of sex,
but back in the day, I haven't done this in
a very long time. But that's when I used to
fake so he would hurry up and nut like I
used to pretend like it was just feeling so good,
I'm like, oh my.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
Gosh, I'm about to come, oh.

Speaker 3 (56:37):
Just so it would make him hurry up so it
would end quicker.

Speaker 4 (56:40):
Like.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
So, I've never.

Speaker 3 (56:41):
Actually made an excuse, but I feel like a lot
of women do that. That goes into like the faking
orgasms and faking conversations.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
I feel like people be faking so it can end.
And see that's the thing, like, nah, I'm not doing it.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
Yeah, I'm not doing that now, but in my younger years,
in my early twenties.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
Even when I was younger. No, if it's bad, we're
not having sex on my own. I'm not about to
be faking like you need to figure this shit out
or you need to go fuck with somebody else. I'm
not about to be laying in bed faking with you
the whole time over and over, like oh.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
No, not over.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
It's like if you went through it one time, then
that's understandable. But it's like if you keep having bad
sex with somebody and faking, that's what t is.

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Yeah, now I would say I've never done it to
where it's like I keep doing it over and over again.
But I can definitely remember times I had sex with
somebody and I was faking it just so we would end.
Why you ain't just tell them the moment because I
didn't want to do I didn't want to do it
no more, and I'm not gonna talk to you no more.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
That's even better. That's why it's like, move, get off me.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
I'm not a vibe killer. Now.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
The vibe already bad. Right, you're right, you're right.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
I mean, like was never there that clos into me
just being young, like to be I'm not.

Speaker 3 (57:54):
He was, but that was me going into like you
know back. I always talk about this, y'all. When we
used to grow up. It would be magazines, Cosmopolitan magazine,
how to make him come, how to make orgasm, how
to be sexy in the bedroom.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
So growing up and viewing sex.

Speaker 3 (58:10):
I always looked at it like it's about the man
and it's for the man. I never viewed sex as
it's for me as well. So every time I was
in the bedroom in my younger years, this is why
I always say young people don't need to be having
sex because.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
Y'all not teaching things.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
You don't properly understand what we're doing and what we're doing,
what it really is.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
So yeah, absolutely, in my younger years, I used to
feel like I have to perform. I was thinking, like,
mister Elli a pussy, don't fail me. Now, I'm trying
to turn this nigga out so he don't want nobody
else but me and Nolan.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
Me. That's beautiful.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
No, it's not.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
That is no, it's not because you should not.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
I know, I agree, but I'm staying that's good kinda
that you wanted to be a pleaser like that. I
have personally always been a pillow o princess. I have
always been a pillow princess. As I've gotten older, now
I be like performing because I feel like, if you
were in a relationship with your men, you should want
to show out for your men, like I should want

(59:13):
to go above and beyond for him. When I was
younger in my relationships, it was like, no, what you
gonna do for Big Mama?

Speaker 3 (59:19):
For real?

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Exactly?

Speaker 4 (59:20):
No.

Speaker 3 (59:20):
I was never like I I'm like that now, my
hands behind my head, like I'm like that now. But
in my younger years, I.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Was just like doing too much? Why because, like I said,
doing like a reference, you know when.

Speaker 3 (59:41):
You faced down, ass up, you just doing too much,
throwing that ass back and like, yeah, not knowing, I'm not,
I don't feel nothing, I'm not. Oh it just.

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Like the herbal essences coming yes used to be me
and what they used to be doing, like yeah, I'm
meant nothing, I'm beating it up. And I used to
be I would be like you actually not you actually
not be.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
That's what I'm saying I was a performer, and that's
what I'm saying. I used to just make excuses.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
And was it because you wanted them to go around
and like go tell people like.

Speaker 1 (01:00:25):
Yeah, but go brag about that thing. How a week,
go brag about it.

Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
Let me show you, Let me show you what that
thing do. But now I don't care about that because
if if you going around saying my coochie bag, it's
because you didn't give.

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
Me what it is. Yes, it's because you didn't do
what you needed to do, right right, that's getting here.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
In my younger years, I used to going to love
and beyond my means.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
But you know, I was a waitress at TGI Friday.
What does that mean? Let me tell you, you got
to give good service.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
Okay, they take two cents to they struck the lemonade.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
I'm back with a ref Yeah. You know what I'm saying. Okay,
they potato.

Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
Skins could be warm, but they're not hot.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
Instead of going take the ones away and just giving
you four more, I'm giving you a whole new batch.

Speaker 1 (01:01:13):

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
That's great, though, but I feel like that speaks volumes
about you know, you as a person, because that's it's
just so funny to me when you tell me these stuff,
because I just think about how how we were in
the same settings and how.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
It was just so different.

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
When I used to wait trees, I used to be
checking on people every thirty minis, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
Right up, facts, because I hated that job.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
I had one real waitressing job, like working at like
a restaurant and bar wire. I used to actually have
to serve food, you know, Foxing Hounding.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Yes, I remember when you worked there.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
Me and my best friend Jazzmine, we had just got
like some little temp jobs in the summer, like temporary
little jobs working as waitresses at these popping sports bar
in Houston, and I just hated it old fucking much. Yes,
I used to be in a bag eating fries on
my phone, just babing, come check on people every thirty mens,

(01:02:08):
And I feel like.

Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
You know, it was the same thing. Get me, well,
I was not trying.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
To be I was not trying to go I was
not trying to go above and be on because even
not to be funny, but even when I was younger,
I will say these like I felt like when I.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
Was younger, I was like I just know my coochie good.

Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
I could just stay, I could just lay here like
I don't have to do nothing because I know it's good,
and I'm not gonna do the most unless you make
me feel.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Like I gotta do them all right right.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
I feel like, like I said, it was just me
just doing the moment. Yeah, And then, like I said,
I would make excuses, but I would not one thing.
I was good at my younger years. I would cut
them off. Yeah, I wasn't like always let me go
back and let me try to.

Speaker 2 (01:02:51):
No, we not.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
I'm gonna get out of it. I'm gonna I'm gonna
do the most and I'm performing because I know I
did my.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
Part, and then I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (01:02:59):
But you know what, I do kind of regret that
because I feel like there's men still to this day
that be talking to people and be like, oh, yeah,
I used to talk to her.

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
I was nineteen. I'm forty six.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
I'm weak because I know somebody that you was talking about.
It's one person that came to mind when you said it. Oh,
we always talk about him. One person that be still
telling people that he used to fuck with you.

Speaker 3 (01:03:23):
I don't know who it is, but maybe they burning heir.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
Who Oh my god, and he won't stop.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
Yeah, bro, especially when them clips went viral recently.

Speaker 1 (01:03:39):
Oh for real, Yes, how.

Speaker 4 (01:03:42):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
Because they told me somebody said so.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
He said yes, and it was around a girl that
he didn't even know that I knew.

Speaker 3 (01:10:33):
To get into the about about.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
To please over there? What was that dance called the shoulder?
What is this rock with it?

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
That's what I was over there and my white gh.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
Look at way back. My bop of the week is Lucky.
But I'm just playing my bop of the week this week.
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (01:11:07):
I was very skeptical about this artist when she first
came out, because I was like, mm, Now I'm still
a little skeptical because I'm like, is she kind of
like biting off of Sizza and biting off of the
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:11:19):
The community. But I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
She dropped another song and it's actually for her so
sailor do y'all remember she had that song I Hope
You're happy?

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Got you a menie me? Bet you mean yes?

Speaker 3 (01:11:31):
But she has another song called cut up Okay, and
it's so good.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
It is so good I.

Speaker 3 (01:11:38):
Am the The jury is still out on her, Like
I said, I want to see if she's in it
to win it, because a lot of times we see
these artists, they come out, they sound like another artist,
and they don't last too long. But I will say,
for me, this is really the second song by her
that I've jammed and I've listened to.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
She's two for two of me. I'm not mad, so
cut up by Sailor. That's my bop. Go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):
My bop this week is Pushed to Start by Tyler.
By Tyler, So, I've already really really liked that song
ever since he came out. But she just came out
with a remix feature in Sean Shanda Paul and shout
out to Sean Paul as a sun falling Okay, exp

(01:12:25):
is Sean Paul and Tyler. This song Seana and Tyler.
So that is my vibe. I love this song, y'all.
Y'all should check it out if y'all haven't heard it.
I feel like Tyala has done a really good job.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
She's a start, she is. I agree. I think she
just needs a little word. May be saying she the next.

Speaker 2 (01:12:44):
Riana, Hold your horses that but too early, hold your
that's fair, it's too early.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
But I do think she's very talented, and I do
think she's a start.

Speaker 3 (01:12:54):
So now you know they used to do that with
Arianna Grande and Mariah Darry you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:12:59):
So I ain't mad at that comparison though, but I
will say Tyler is a star. I think she needs
to work a little bit on her public speaking because
sometimes she I think she gets nervous in situations when
people ask her something crazy. I mean, she still she
doesn't know how to respond, like Meghan. There was a
recent incident where the lady on the Oscar carpet was like,

(01:13:21):
I listened.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
To Meghan the Stallions music, and it makes me want
to fight.

Speaker 1 (01:13:25):
What song of Megan's makes you want to fight? You know?

Speaker 3 (01:13:27):
They always look at black women like we just going
around punching.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
People in the face.

Speaker 3 (01:13:31):
So everybody has been on her ass about it, but
Meghan just carried it with such great She was like,
no girl, bad, YadA yadi. It makes you feel cute,
it makes you feel beautiful. Now, if she would have
said Mona Leo, Mona Leo will make you smack a beach,
she do. Now.

Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
If it would have been.

Speaker 3 (01:13:46):
Car Yeah, if it would have been a Mona Leo,
I would have said, you know what, yeah, Mona Leo
music do make you want to fight a little bit,
But Meghan, Meghan is not a fighter. Turn up, get
cute you a baddie.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
I got good.

Speaker 3 (01:13:58):
Kouchie music, so I think Megan is good at handling
awkward situations on the carpet.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
So I want Tyler to get there. But Tala is
a star body tea.

Speaker 3 (01:14:07):
She can wear high fashion, cute girl, he can sing. Yes,
she has all the factors. So that's a good it is,
that's a good bob shunned up all, come sing with
them on the list.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
Y'all is never settled.

Speaker 2 (01:14:22):
And if you're an avid listener of poor minds, then
you probably have heard me say these numerous times. Like
I say these all the time, I've always felt this way.
Don't ever settle for anything in life if it's not
exactly what you want. Don't let people tell you that
you cannot get what you want out of these life
because it's absolutely possible.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
I had so many people when I was in my twenties.

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
Telling me that the things that I wanted was unreleased, unreasonable.
And if I have listened to those people, I wouldn't
be where I am today. It's not for anybody else
to understand that as long as you know what it
is and you willing to put work in to get
the things that you want, you don't have to settle,
and don't let people convince you that you have to settle.
It's usually people that are settling in their own life

(01:15:09):
that try to, you know, make other people feel like, oh,
you can't do this, or you can't make that happen.
You're thinking too far outside the box. How you gonna
do that?

Speaker 1 (01:15:20):
Up?

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
Now, boo, you can't do it. I could do whatever
I want to do, Okay, and I will so yeah,
don't ever.

Speaker 3 (01:15:30):
Ever, since I was a little girl, I've loved being
on camera, entertaining myself and everybody around me by sharing
my thoughts and opinions on anything pop culture. For the
past few years, I've heard your requests.

Speaker 1 (01:15:47):
But now it's finally time to deliver.

Speaker 3 (01:15:52):
Okay, y'all, let's get into the teeth with love lexp.

Speaker 1 (01:16:03):
Girl Anyways.

Speaker 2 (01:16:05):
Okay, now it's time to get into our favorite segment
of the show. Y'all know, if y'all have any questions,
any testimony, you'll send them to ask poor Minds at
gmail dot com. That's ask poure in my nbs at
gmail dot com. Okay, I got a question of too,
so oh, I.

Speaker 3 (01:16:24):
Gotta start sorry, all right. I dated this guy I
met at work for four months. He understood me and
loved things about me that I never imagined a guy
would be so attentive to. I admired him a lot too.
From the beginning. He was honest that he was a
few months out of a long relationship with his kid's
mother and that he wasn't in.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
A place to date seriously. But he really liked me.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
It got to a point to where he felt it
was irresponsible to keep going because our feelings were progressing
and he didn't want to hurt me more. Later on,
we stopped talking, and when I see him around, he
does not speak to me. I know it's not personal personal,
he just doesn't want to drag this along. We can't
talk casually without wanting more. We had a special connection

(01:17:11):
and I never felt like this.

Speaker 1 (01:17:12):
Before, and that Dick was so fire. How can I
move on?

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
I feel heartbroken even though it was a short amount
of time.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
I feel like this should make it even easier to
move on because it was a short amount of time.

Speaker 1 (01:17:26):
And then she said he don't speak to her when
she sees him.

Speaker 2 (01:17:30):
Girl, move on, because I feel like the least somebody
could do is speak to you. I agree, like, so
this is what I don't say, and he just act
like you don't exist. I feel like he doesn't care,
Like the feelings for you are still there, but the
feelings for him are not there. And that would be
enough for me to just be like, good readings, I'm
done with you because you you not worried about me.

(01:17:54):
I think sometimes you have to force yourself to move
on when you realize that somebody is not worried about it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:59):
Not worried about because also, I will say this, men
will say men are hot and cold, right, so they'll be.

Speaker 1 (01:18:05):
Like, oh, I love you, you mean so much to me.

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
We have feelings. And then they'll be like, hey, I
don't want to hurt you. I'm not the man for you.
We need to separate.

Speaker 1 (01:18:12):
But guess what.

Speaker 3 (01:18:13):
Don't listen to nothing, they say, Listen to their actions.

Speaker 1 (01:18:16):
Are his actions matching.

Speaker 3 (01:18:18):
That he loves you and that he feels you and
that he wants to be with you? Are his actions
matching that he don't want to be with you, He's
not ready for a relationship. He told you what it was,
and not only that, his actions are matching what's on
this side. So pay attention to the action. Do not
listen to words when it comes to men. I'm telling
you that, and this is me being honest. Do not

(01:18:41):
listen to words, because a man will drag you through
the dirt and then he'll come back and be like, oh, no,
I love you, I love you, I care about you,
I care about you. Then two days later he acting
an ass. Show me I need to see it. Yeah,
I'm not listening. I don't care because the words sounds
so good. Look at William Shakespeare what he did to
be or.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
Not to be, and well, if we being completely honest,
I don't even think that applies any situation because it
ain't no words.

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
He's not saying nothing to you. He not even saying
high worse.

Speaker 3 (01:19:10):
That's what I'm saying. The actions match, but I was
saying the words because of what he told her prior. Oh,
our feelings are progressing too much.

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
I can't do this. I can't listen to that. A'm
paying attention to that.

Speaker 2 (01:19:23):
But the thing is his actions is following that, right,
It's not like he giving you mixed signals. Like he said,
he feels like it's progressing too quickly, and now he
acting like you don't exist. I think that you should
just move on. It would be different if he said
that and then when he see you, y'all are still
gazing yeah eyes or he's giving you any type of
hope that you know it could be something, but he

(01:19:44):
not giving you no hope.

Speaker 1 (01:19:46):
He giving you nothing. And I always say, do a
thirty day. De talks thirty days.

Speaker 3 (01:19:50):
Don't look at his social media, don't look at his stories,
don't call him, don't text him, completely no contact for
thirty days. You will literally not know the exis this
anymore fiercely? So do a full detox chap all right, Drea?

Speaker 1 (01:20:05):
Question number two?

Speaker 2 (01:20:06):
Okay, question number two, Hey, Drea and Lex, I love
y'all so much and hope y'all see this. I'm twenty
one and I've been with my boyfriend for six years.
We're high school sweethearts and he's my first for everything
over the years. I've naturally gained some weight since high school,
but he constantly brings it up in a negative way
during arguments. He makes comments that make me feel insecure

(01:20:27):
and it hurts because I've never made him feel bad
about his appearance.

Speaker 1 (01:20:31):
Lately, he's been mean.

Speaker 2 (01:20:33):
Starts fights out of nowhere, and acts like he doesn't
care about my feelings.

Speaker 1 (01:20:37):
I do everything for him, but he never acknowledges it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
I don't nag or hold things in, I communicate, but
he still makes me feel unappreciated. I know he's not cheating,
I've checked, but sometimes I wonder if he wants to
step out and see what's out there. He wasn't always
like this, but after high school he changed. Honestly, I'm
tired of getting I'm tired of feeling disrespected and unvalued.

Speaker 1 (01:21:00):
Should I leave or keep trying? Please help God, don't
bless no mess. I feel like you should leave. You
should leave.

Speaker 3 (01:21:08):
You're too young. And one thing about it, I feel like,
like I always say, I am a strong believer, believer
in the let them theory.

Speaker 1 (01:21:17):
You gotta let people do them. So sometimes you have
to walk away from.

Speaker 3 (01:21:21):
A situation and you'll see what a person really wants.
If you walk away from a person, man or a woman,
and they fight for you, they're doing the effort, they're
getting the they're changing, they're really showing up for you.
That's a person that really wants to.

Speaker 1 (01:21:33):
Be with you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:34):
But if you walk away from somebody and they just
they're okay with it, they're okay with your absence, that
ain't the person for you. I truly believe that one
day all the good men and all the good women
will find each other and just be together.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
You know how old the earth is. Come on now,
I don't know if this okay. Come on now. We
gotta keep it positive. But we've been here for a while.

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
And but I will say that it's okay to walk
away from things that no longer serve you.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
And if you're what are.

Speaker 3 (01:22:06):
Sometimes we have to ask ourselves, like what are what
am I walking away from? You're walking away from somebody
who makes you feel unattractive, who makes you feel unloved?

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
Walk away because you know what.

Speaker 3 (01:22:16):
I was in a relationship before a while, a long
time ago, and I was gaining a weight, and we
started going to the gym together. That's what a real
man gonna do. Hey, baby, let's go work out together.
You know, we both gained a little way. I always say,
it's not about what you say, it's how you say it.
So I think that this is a young man who
probably does want to be outside because if y'all, y'all

(01:22:36):
are probably the same age. But she said six years
y'all were high school sweethearts, So y'all are the same age.

Speaker 1 (01:22:42):
Girl, that man gotta grow and so do you. Yeah, Sez,
I feel like you should just let he go.

Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
Y'all are young, you gonna find somebody else, And I
feel like that's unhealthy, Like no matter what age.

Speaker 1 (01:22:55):
Yeah, y'all are young.

Speaker 2 (01:22:56):
But I feel like if he always peeking at you
and saying niggaive stuff about your appearance, that's not something
that I see changing, you know, I feel like it's
just gonna get worse and progress as y'all get older,
because that's not the way to motivate somebody to want
to lose weight. If he wants you to lose weight,
or if he feel like, oh, you don't put on
a few pounds, like Lick said, maybe go Maybe y'all

(01:23:18):
should go to the gym together. Maybe he should offer
to go on walks and stuff with you. Maybe he
should offer for y'all to like meal prep together and
eat healthier and y'all be accountability partners.

Speaker 1 (01:23:29):
If that's something that he's good at and you're not.

Speaker 2 (01:23:31):
I feel like picking at somebody and talking shit about
they appearance is not the way to motivate them to
do anything. And if he doing it now is twenty one,
he gonna keep doing it as y'all relationship continues to
go on, because that's just a negative characteristic that a
person has. Yeah, I think you young. I'm sure you're beautiful.
You have a lot ahead of you in life, because

(01:23:53):
twenty one is so young, so young, So yeah, he
o high school, sweet Harbor girl. It's more out there,
and it's men out there that are gonna love you
the way you are currently. And if you do want
to lose weight, is men out there that are going
to motivate you in a much more positive and loving
way to do so.

Speaker 1 (01:24:11):
So yeah, I agree with one thousand percent.

Speaker 3 (01:24:15):
All right now, So make sure y'all tune in every Friday,
poor minds. We got music, beautycollection dot com, get all
