Speaker 2 (02:07):
Good. So was so much fun. It's so funny. We
went to this restaurant called Filter for brunch on Sunday and.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
We got into it. Like our server ended up quitting
because of our table. What yeah, but he wasn't mad
at us. It was just like an issue with Like
we ordered a Mimosa tower and he brought out the
Mamosa tower.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
And it was full to the top. But it was pineapple,
and I can't do pineapple.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
We asked for mango, so when he said it was pineapple,
I was like, oh no, that's not what we ordered.
So then he brought another tower out later. It took
forever to get the tower, and then when it came out,
it was half full. And I was like, well, why
the first one was full to the top and this
one is half full. But it's the same price. He
was like, oh, I had put lemonade and I had
mixed it up. I was like, so you made up mimosa.

(02:57):
Mimosa is champagne and whatever juice. There's no lemonade and
ship like that. So basically you diluted my mimosa tower.
And then so I was like, can I speak to
the man. So then the manager came over, but she
didn't want to talk to me. She kept talking to
him like as if I wasn't talking to her. You know,
it was just it was just right, and she was

(03:19):
like either they gonna buy it or they ate. Like
she was really nasty, right, very nasty. But he was
like really trying to help us. He was so nice
to us, and they end up going in the bag
arguing then that nigga come out with his cold, was like,
fuck this motherfucker, y'all. I'll give this mother. This ain't
my own source of income. This ain't how I'm gonna
meet the woman on my dreams and walked out. But

(03:42):
I didn't pay for that Momosa tower. I ain't drink
that shit.

Speaker 1 (03:46):

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Not just cause a nigga to lose his damn job
over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Shame he quit. He quit, never quit a job.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
He had great customer service, honestly he did. But I
can't speak for the rest of them down That food
was amazing. Their food was so good. Filter in Cleveland, Ohio.
And I just got one more thing to say about Cleveland, Ohio.
Cleveland is a different kind of coal, y'all. It's a
different kind of coal out there. It's that bone chilling coal.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I had on fur coat.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
But let me tell you this, the bitches are also
built different out there, because it was someone walking around
with tube tops on and sandals in twenty two degrees
and I was like, oh, y'all different different out here.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
These are some Obama no snow bitches.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
No.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I was about to say it's so cold.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Then the d but I forgot that's the truth. It's
so cold, and that.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Song was fitting. I even like, kind of low key
interviewed the girl. I was like, because I was walking,
I was like, these bitches is outside with no coat.
I was like, and the girl was like watching in
the bag and I was like, would you like to
be on my let's talk about it.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
So she had to come.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
She was like, I'm I don't have on no coat
and I was like, are you cold?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
She was like, I mean. I was like, She's like
not really. I was like, you've been drinking. She was like, yes, you.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Can tell haveing bitches on pay for healthcare. Bitch.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
I do not want to get sick. I'll be scared
of getting sick because of them. Doctor Bill's be crazy
as hell.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah, I do not want to get sick either. What
health care? That was my weekend? And what coat? So
I ain't got no coat?

Speaker 1 (05:57):
All right, y'all, let's get into stupid news for this week.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Okay, our auntie Wendy Williams line. You know, it's reminded
me of Whitney Houston. And I never ever ever watched
Whitney Houston. And I hold Whitney Houston in a higher
regard than Wendy. I'm sorry, I just do. I love
her so much, but I remember when she had the

(06:22):
TV show her and Bobby. I could never watch that shit.
It's almost the equivalent to like Beyonce Tomorrow being a
crackhead for people, right, That's who I That's how I
saw Whitney Houston. It broke my heart to know this
is how she went out. So to watch this now
like Wendy Williams, like somebody who was at the top
of her career.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
In media for many, many years. She's an icon. Really.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah. Absolutely, it's sad. It's sad to see and it's scary. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I've only watched the clips online. I told Taylor, our producer,
that I would be watching the show. I was supposed
to watch it yesterday, but I just couldn't get around
to it.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
I kept seeing the clips on Instagram.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
But honestly, does she even really agree to.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
This documentary because it does not paint her in the
best light, like from the clips that I've seen because
I didn't watch it fully, but it just doesn't even
seem beneficial to show.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Her in this condition. It doesn't like, how is she
benefit for this?

Speaker 1 (07:23):
So I guess her state needs money.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Apparently somebody needs money, because this is exploitation. As far
as I'm concerned, we are exploiting an icon who has
mental illness, drug abuse, a history of drug abuse, and
alcohol abuse, all these different things that are now like
crashing down on her. She has some type of thyroid issue.
She allegedly has dementia. Now I could tell she kind

(07:48):
of has to mention in these videos because one minute
she's nice and the next minute she's apologizing.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
In the next minute she's mean.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Again.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
This isn't good at all.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
And I could just imagine that goddamn ex husband of hers,
He's just sitting back, like you the reason why this
lady damn health is declining. As far as I'm concerned,
I can't watch it.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yeah, I can't watch it either. It just looks very sad,
and I just.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
I hope like her condition and all these things turn
around and like we can see some good things from
her again soon.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
You know.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
No, I think this is it, but I don't want
to watch the end for her. I think this is
definitely it a lot of times when people get demnia.
In particular, I believe it's probably medically induced dementia like
pills and stuff like that. People being on a different
lot of different medicines for many years, their health starts declining.

(08:44):
So we're watching the end of somebody.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
We don't know that because the guy that I serve
would turn things around. Baby, you just gotta believe she
might turn it all around. And we just had this
whole redemption story. But like how she goes out of here,
you know what I'm saying. So we're gonna keep her.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
And she believes, you know, that's what is depending on,
So right, I don't know. Y'all, Prayers for win to
Wendy Williams, that's all I can say.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, all right, Porsche will y'all our
good sister did a podcast festival with us last year.
The new festival is coming around this year, y'all come
out April twenty seventh.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
It's gonna be lit. But let's talk about what Porsche
got going on.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Okay, a lot of people don't understand why Porsche is
getting divorced, and they think it's like a whole like
ploy because she's gonna be going back on Real Housewives
of Atlanta. But if anybody was in Porsche's position, they
would be trying to run right now too. And I
saw a headline today that says she's really trying to
make sure their prenupt gets enforced, meaning my shit is mine,

(09:48):
your shit is yours. Because he has some real serious
legal issues, y'all. This nigga was committing credit card fraud
in the eighties, y'all. I know they used to like
use a low machine and take an imprint in your
fucking card back then. Like how the fuck doing credit
card fraud in the eighties?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Bitch is wild?

Speaker 1 (10:06):
And Porsche would have been ten ten years old at
the time.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Learning her time stas and not even ten money.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Cause shit, what I always reference like Hurricane Hugo when
I try to think about a timeline of how old
I was when something was happening. Porsche probably wasn't even
ten years old at the time when he was committing
a credit card fraud. But he I don't know if
Simon uh Gavadia is his legal name, but apparently he

(10:35):
was deported back in the eighties and nineties under whatever
his name is, right, he came back into the States
using alias, and he was approved for a visa under
some type of agricultural or some type of you know,
there's different reason you come for school work, whatever, So

(10:56):
he got approved the state in the country. So what
he's saying to the US government now is like, Hey,
I've been here all this time, I'm a business owner,
I've been paying taxes, and y'all ain't catch the mistake.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
That's your fault. So he's still trying to get citizenship.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
And maybe Porsche just was blindsided by all of this,
But any attorney would say, get the fuck up out
of there.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Right, even if they're gonna stay together, just don't be
connected legally.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, So I can understand.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
That because that's gonna bleed over into her brand and
then too her finance and her money. Yeah, yeah, I know,
I know Dennis. I know Dennis over there with them
hot dogs like, m no, you.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
See failing well.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
I don't even know if it was a dish to Porsche,
but it was kind of like she looked real tipper
in the restaurant, like, so, what happened?

Speaker 2 (11:46):
What happened today? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
That's how she was looking. She looked very delighted in
other people's musines. I'm gonna keep my mouth shut on
that that one.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
But I can only recall when when uh Porsche came
out about being engaged Simon or being in a relationship
with Simon, And I remember it was her Simon, Dennis
little Polar and a picture together and I'm like, yo,
you was just with Dennis.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
She'ld go.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
Remember my mama had a cookout one time and she
had like two of her ex boyfriends there.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
They're like, lady. I was like, oh you are bad, but.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
Mama here, Sarah, you want something else to drink?

Speaker 2 (12:36):
The next nigga, I'm gonna go to the story, get
some more ice. You get you want some of them?

Speaker 3 (12:39):
I'm like, oh, you my badmit, you here everybody getting along.
You're all listen them ladies. Back then, they was nice,
wholesome women. When I tell you that the few niggas
my mama knew in life. It's all at my mama
house one night. I might have probably been like seventeen eighteen.
It's like my daddy, my mama, ex boyfriend, the current husband,

(12:59):
and some ni I guess she dated back when she
was young.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
From New York.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
God blessed dad. He's dead.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Two of them dead now, actually all in the house
at the same time.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
I'm like, what is happening?

Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah, we was tripping out watching that shit. Everybody laughing
at your I like you boy, like, uh off a
color purple where you had your way?

Speaker 2 (13:18):
I had a mind, but we had an No, I'm
talking about they having no color purple. Not to my mama.
She cuts me out.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
Goodness, no, baby, did you see Cam Newton over the weekends?

Speaker 2 (13:35):
He looks strong.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Cam Newton is a goddamn warlock. Okay.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I'm just trying to figure out how to fuck that
hat stayed on, and I think the trick to beating
him is knocking the hat off.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
See see what I think it is.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
I think he got the ring from Lord to Rings
on his hand, and that motherfucker got some extra power
because he Dad sure got a load of lord of
the ring's hand.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
If you want to beat Cam Newton, you got to
get the hat off. It's a hat or a ring somewhere.
That's the only way. Because how you dragging. You're dragging
grown men. And then you got another grown man in
the headlock, and I thought they were teenagers.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
How you had three grown men in the headlock at
one time, It's crazy, he said three.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
It was four.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
No, No, I'm just saying it looked like three niggas
was in a headlock at once. And he was like,
get back, little nigga. You trying to play with a
real dig right now on him.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
So apparently, so two of the guys came out, and
I think they're brothers. So Cam Newton has a football camp,
so this is an annual thing. And this guy was saying,
how he's known, he's been around Cam Newton for five
years now.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
He's always got an attitude, real snarky.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
I mean, just last year, some people got killed at
a kid's football game, Like a former NFL football player
and his brother shot some niggas at a kid's football game.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Like, people take this shit really serious, right, But.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
I can't imagine Cam Newton being rich as he is
and having his camp. This my shit, and we know
how black people like to flexing each other, right, I
can imagine him talking hell of shit to these other
grown and son and these other grown as men, and
they probably got tired of it because the one dude
said he walked up and Cam Newton had his hand
on his brother.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
So that's how shit shit got loose.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Nigga gets no monkey ass in the back like talking
to niggas like that.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Like these ain't grown ass people. So I don't know, listen,
start your own shit. Don't fuck with Cam Newton if
y if he's talking shit to y'all for five years
straight while you still showing up.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
At that point, why are you showing up for the abuse?

Speaker 4 (15:45):
So and here's the bad thing is like the kids
were watching, and so this is how y'all teaching the
children to handle your differences. So that's not it wasn't
a good look at all for neither of the parties
because you know, they had their own business that's supposed
to be outreaching the community. So y'all got to do
better and handle y'all differences as me And if y'all
gonna fight, get in the ring and do it for charity,

(16:06):
make some money part.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
You know, I don't even think them niggas want to
fight him on and off the the court.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
The ring.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
They weren't scared though. I'll say that they weren't scared.
They weren't running.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
They was with all the smoke, Like, don't play with them.
So Cam talk.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Even if they got they ass whoop. I can respect
that they you know, stood on business.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Look that nigga probably be talking shit because he know
he could beat everybody up.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
That's like somebody with a gun, Like they act different,
you know.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
So he like, man, I could beat all these little
niggas up because they was little niggas, little.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
Grown men in comparison in comparison to him, because there
was probably like average size, being honestly right, And here
comes Cam Newton.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, you can't be doing that type of shit in
front of the kids.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
Man.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
The thing is people want to fight.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
We be punishing kids for ship that we still do
as adults all the time. Like sometimes you gotta sometimes
you gotta do that, man, it's just the only way sometimes.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
But you want to try to do things.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
As politically correct as possible, especially if you're hosting a
children's camp.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
You can't be out there fighting. What the hell?

Speaker 3 (17:14):
I'll never bring my son back to the Actually need
to ask all of them in Cam.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Newton, including Cam for that, because what do you teaching?

Speaker 3 (17:24):
I always say adults need to ask what more than kids. Yep, absolutely, y'all.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
We have one of my good friends, Lexie Johnson. She
is a influencer and she's done great things with her
social media in a matter of months. And we want
to learn. We want y'all to learn too, so we
can all get this money together. Stay tuned, will be
right back.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
All right, y'all were back from break and listen. We
have very special guests when we talked back this week.
She is an owner and operator of one of my
favorite new favorite uh Instagram pages.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Y'all. It's super lit. She's doing all the home shit
and occasionally.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
She showed like a little bit of ass and these
lower shorts I like to see anyway. Okay, we got
tab bad hole girl, Lexi Johnson. We talked back this week.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
Hey girl, hey girl, Hey friends.

Speaker 6 (18:17):
Thank y'all for having me.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
I'd be looking for the boyfriend and the shorts. Okay,
let's be very clear.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
So Lexi was on the show season two, on the
friendship episode with my other friend Mekka, we had that
conversation about friendships. But we have her back because since
the last time y'all saw her, she has taken her
Instagram and completely transformed it from five thousand followers to
almost two hundred thousand followers in a matter of just

(18:46):
a two to three months. So we wanted to talk
to her about that because one thing we do, as
we talked back, is talk but when it comes to
our social media. So I'm sure a lot of y'all
can appreciate this conversation we're about to have with her
so we can help build our brands.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
And just to add on to that, y'all, listen, we
in the matrix. It's a digital world. So we got
AI robots taking over traditional jobs. Millennials, Listen, we are
now the product. So either you're gonna get with the
program or you're gonna get left behind. Okay, so are
you gonna watch it? So are you gonna be the
content or the consumer? At this point is where we're at.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Right, So right, our first question for you is, all right,
you were sitting there and you had five thousand followers
and you was like, I'm about to turn this shit up,
and I'm gonna turn it up quick.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
What was the thought process?

Speaker 6 (19:36):
Like?

Speaker 2 (19:36):
How did that start?

Speaker 5 (19:37):
So you know, I started on TikTok first, So about
six months before I was posting on TikTok, and my
TikTok went from nothing to over five hundred k in
the six months. So I was like, but Instagram was
a different beast to me. So I'm like, do I

(19:58):
really want to post on here where everybody knows me
and I can be judged?

Speaker 6 (20:02):
And what if they all see me fail?

Speaker 5 (20:03):
And what if the people on Instagram are like the
same things people on TikTok like?

Speaker 6 (20:07):
And you know, I'm going back and forth in my head.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
So I'm like, one day, we had actually had a
personal thing that went on and it kind of made
me open my eyes like, Okay, you know what, none
of that matters. It's time to go on here to
do what you gotta do. So I gave myself thirty days.
I'm like, you're gonna do a thirty day challenge, period.
So I took and repurposed the content that I had

(20:29):
on TikTok. I mosted on Instagram for thirty days and
mind you just started in the end of November, so
I skipped the holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, the New Year
because we'll post on those. I don't know, So yeah,
I just kind of was I told myself because I

(20:49):
saw what happened from TikTok, and I know Instagram has
even more opportunities, so I'm like, it's time to get
with it.

Speaker 6 (20:56):
It's time to go.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
So so okay, let's let's move backwards then building your TikTok,
Like how did you start with that? Like what was
the inspiration to like create these videos and how did
you choose your content?

Speaker 5 (21:10):
So you know, I'm an investor, so I play a
lot in the stock market and everything, and at one
point that was the only thing I did.

Speaker 6 (21:19):
That was my main source of income.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
That was it.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
So you know, the market got real volatile and I
just was kind of in a place where I'm like, Okay,
what am I going to do? So my man was like,
I got everything. You go ahead, figure out what you're
passionate about, figure out what.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
You let to do do that. So I took my
time and I just clean.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
My first of all, let's cut you off right there.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Don't see what happens when a woman is left if
the rest of their femininity, y'all know, because that sexual
energy is creative energy. So when a nigga paying bills, okay,
just just we could create some major shit, right. Men
don't realize how the divine feminine works and all these things.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
But go ahead, tam, Sorry I got excited for a second.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
No, No, you just said what I was gonna say.
So that's exactly what I was thinking. But go ahead,
keep going.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
So when he said that, I'm like, okay, cool. So
basically what I did was I just I like to
take care of my home.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
So I'm like, okay, I love to cook every night.

Speaker 5 (22:24):
I cook every breakfast, I cook lunch, dinner, he makes breakfast.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
So I'm like, okay, I like this life, Like this
is good.

Speaker 5 (22:33):
I just you know, cook, got me a gym membership
at Lifetime and it's like the super big spots.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
Super nice.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
So I'm like, Okay, I spend most of my day
there and I go home, take care of everything, make
sure I have my clothes and shift, which is like
you know, just cleaning around the house and make sure
everything is everything before I get up.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
Cool. So then I'm like hmmm.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
I kept telling Tammy was one of them, kept telling
her and the rest of my friends, like, I'm gonna
post on TikTok, I'm a post. Why not we So
everywhere we went to basketball games, I'm recording, I'm going
home and editing it. Never posted it.

Speaker 6 (23:15):
I don't know why.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
I kept making up excuses like, Okay, when i have
forty videos ready in my drafts, I'm gonna start posting,
or when I get to this certain amount of followers
from like posting stories, then i'm'll post.

Speaker 6 (23:27):
Like none of that ever happened.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
So no, let me interject where we went to a
football game and LEXI took my phone and made seventeen
thousand videos of the night in my phone and then
we did nothing with it.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
I still got them, you can now.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
Yeah, I always said I was gonna post, but I'm like,
I'm thinking in the back of my head, who really
cares about my life? Which really nobody did. Nobody did
because before you build a black form, like nobody cares
what you wake up and do. But when you're giving
people something to learn, or you're giving them some entertainment
or you know, teaching in any type of way, then okay,

(24:12):
it's it's more of a reason for people to save
your content share your content.

Speaker 6 (24:17):
So cool.

Speaker 5 (24:19):
I'm like, one day, I think my first video I
posted was a reset. So I'm just cleaning my house,
something I do every day, and I posted it and
it did really well, so I'm like, okay, So then.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
I keep.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
Cleaning the house.

Speaker 5 (24:36):
So then I made a hot road, something I make
at least twice a month.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
I see, y'all eat too much fucking meat.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
I love it, all right, So let me ask you this,
but let me interject. Well, you're like cleaning the house,
like you stopped vacuuming to set the camera up over here,
and then you vacuum one section and stop and set
the camera over and vacuum another.

Speaker 6 (24:59):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
I know. I was gonna.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Y'all using, Yeah, okay, go ahead.

Speaker 5 (25:07):
I have two phones, I have two cameras, so I
may not move my stuff around quite as much as
the next person. But yes, especially with the content that
I do, I like to change my angles up and
keep it interesting.

Speaker 6 (25:19):
So yeah, you do have to.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
So when so you have four cameras recording it at
the same time, so you don't have to really stop.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
What you're doing. You just recording from every angle in
the house. That makes this.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Production though, you see.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
Yeah, and when I first mind you, it might take
three hours in your house, but when you make content's
gonna take you a good six seven. But when I
first started phone, so I put put my phone up
on my chopod and I would walk into my kitchen
and then I would move my phone, and then I'll
walk into my kitchen again, and then I moved my
phone and I walk in my kitchen again, and the move.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
We got three angles. But I just did.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
And you have to remember what foot you start off
with when you're walking, Like, yeah, that's that's.

Speaker 6 (26:01):
What I would.

Speaker 5 (26:02):
I don't do that anymore because I feel like I
was overthinking it.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
But yeah, it's a it's a whole production.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
It really is. And that's the part that because it's work.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
But when you're not working and this becomes a job, Okay, understandable.
I could definitely post more content. I just don't like people.
It's so intrusive social media, like they want to be
every place with you, and I think that's an tammy issue,
Like we private people, you know what I'm saying, Like
we public and private private at the same time, it's.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
What you make it be private too. I've always been
private and still don't nobody know nothing about me.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
So we know they know you make pot rolls twice
a month, but they.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Know they know what I'm allowed them to allow them
to know.

Speaker 4 (26:52):
Right, Yeah, how do you deal with like any negative comments?
Because at this point, I know you're getting all types
of comments, So how are you dealing with the negative girl?

Speaker 5 (27:01):
So I had a salad jar video, right, and that
video went super like it probably got sixty million views total.
And once it gets to that point, it starts going
to different countries and countries that might look at things
a little bit different than we do. So when it
starts to get to those different countries, then it starts
to get kind of crazy. So, like, I had long

(27:23):
nails in some of my cooking videos, and they would
bring my race into it, like why you how do you?
How do you wipe your black ass with them nails?

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Dang bitch is about a salad and then I would
never eat it unless.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
You try to toss my salad. Get out my com yo.
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
So last week my homegirl, she was telling me how
good RB's fish sandwiches. And I don't eat fast food,
but I love a good ash good ass a fish sandwich.
I used to get them all the time from Berger.
Came back in the day, so I go. I went
to different rbs. The first Arby's I went to, it
was a black woman. Everybody was black. It was a
black woman in there with her plastic gloves on with

(28:08):
the finger nails coming through the glove. Bitch, she's picking
up a lettuce with the singer nails. Imagine gloves on,
but the nails are coming.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Through the glove.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
What's the point of the doing? I said, all in
the wrong Arby's about face.

Speaker 6 (28:24):
Nobody been great, But if you are certain people, God,
you know.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Like these this link okay, right, this is but that's
not coming through no glove. That's not coming through no gloves.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
No, what's the purpose? The nails is the filthiest part?

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Right?

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Sorry? Quick?

Speaker 4 (28:44):
Anytime you go on to fast food, anytime you eat
fast food, you just got to pray over it, and
honestly because and pray extra hard.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Could you never know who they're making your ship? All right,
back on topic, So wipe your but how you wipe
your butt nigga.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
Yeah, yeah, pretty, that's what they said, right. So so
I mean.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
To the negative comments, A lot of times I ignore them.
I'm going to comment back to way more people that
have something positive to say than negative. I might respond
every now and again, like I try to respond to
anyone that comments on something in the first twenty four hours,
but after it's I start to see like the negative
ones roll in. It take a good special one for

(29:29):
me to have to come bite that the time the
people in your comments got you. So you really don't
even have to do.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
That because be somebody else ready to argue for you.

Speaker 6 (29:41):
Comments are gonna get the most played.

Speaker 5 (29:42):
I don't know what it is, like they could be
in a thousand comments, thousands of comments, but for somehow
people know.

Speaker 6 (29:50):
That shit there and they're gonna come. They're gonna get there.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
So any time like it's a negative comment for me,
sometimes it'll be somebody defending me.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
But I'll be ready to be like step Aside, I
got the pens.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
It was a Friday, Like I just went to your
page and but I got all kinds of ship.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Tammy was calling a nigga kids ugly one day or
him ugly.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
She was like this, you and your kids like commenting
on this nigga ship from we talked back.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
I went to his page. I went to his page
and responded to his comments.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
On my page on his page because who you call
it ugly? I don't remember that part. But I don't remember.
I don't recall say anything about children.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
Like how do you maintain your audience engagement?

Speaker 3 (30:52):
So you talked about like people clapping back for you?
Do you do you communicate with your people that commonly.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Content?

Speaker 6 (31:02):
Oh? Yeah, all the time.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
I on Instagram, I try to comment to literally every
single person that comments in the first day.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
And then after that.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
I mean, it depends on the comment, but same with
TikTok for the most part. But yeah, I'm always engaging
and if they comment on my story, I try to
respond to that. People that comment in my dms, and
you know it might I try to respond to everybody,
especially when it's something that needs to be responded to.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
You know, how many hours a day do you feel
like you spend on social media?

Speaker 6 (31:36):
A lot?

Speaker 4 (31:37):
Like between creating content, posting comment and how many how
many hours.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
A day.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
A shift?

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Do you feel like a slave to this sheet is
what I'm asking.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
The good thing about it is I didn't come in
doing something that was like a job for me. I
came in doing something that I already do, so I
don't feel like a slave to it. But but I'm
on it a lot, but I used to be on
it a lot anyway, So if I had to put
it in the hours, I would say maybe probably five straight,

(32:15):
like just actually being on the app.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
A day a day, yeah, including the content creation because
you okay, so you don't post every day, right, the
creation part, Okay, just being on the apps, so we
talking eight hours a day essentially a shift.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
It's with content too, yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:35):
But it makes more sense when you are making money
off of It's like how I feel about clubs now,
Like I really don't want to go unless I'm.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Get paid to be there.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
So Instagram social media is sort of the same thing.
Like I haven't I don't have the formerly yet right
in place to make money on it, but I'm definitely
on that bitch all day regardless. I can look at
my phone right now and I'm pretty sure I have
a two hour timer on my thing, and every day
I'm hitting to add a fifteen minutes and fifteen minutes

(33:05):
When I'm on it.

Speaker 5 (33:06):
I'm not rolling though, like I people, things will be
happening on the shaved room and all types of I
don't know nothing about none of that.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
That's not what I'm looking at.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
So but meanwhile, I'd be laying there at three in
the morning watching a rug get shampoo like and think
about how how did this rug get this dirty?

Speaker 2 (33:24):
And I can't wait to see what it looks like
after be.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Wasted twenty minutes of my time watching so white man
shampoo a rug in a garage?

Speaker 5 (33:31):
Like?

Speaker 6 (33:32):
Those are those videos keep you entertain for? I don't
know what it is.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
The Hoyers I see Hoiters are now on excuse me,
go ahead, pronounce it.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
I'm waiting for.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
There's hoiters on Instagram.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Some of them are in other countries.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Like they're literally like sweeping mud out of a house,
things like that, and they have a lot of followers.
People just want to see them clean up the craziest
looking houses.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
I follow this.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
Black woman who was going through depression and she like
posts like how she's cleaning her house to getting her
and she has kids in the family and it's a
nice house, but it was just filthy because she was
just not tuned in with, you know, that part of
her life for whatever reason. But this bitch been cleaning
that house for at least a year now, and I'm like,
all right now, I think at this point you are

(34:29):
dirty in your house to clean it for content at
this point.

Speaker 6 (34:33):
Because that's the only thing people came to follow her for.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Right, Yeah, yeah, so fuck it up and clean it.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
Up, right as It's nice to have a low variety.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
So how do you like cultivate h like brand opportunities?
Like the first brand that did they reach out to
you and you were like, oh shit, or was you
like reaching out like how can I monetize this more?

Speaker 2 (34:54):
How did that happen?

Speaker 5 (34:55):
So I have yet to have a brand deal that
I reached out to, and it's not for lack of
try it. It's for the most part, the bigger brands,
I feel like they're gonna find you. But you know,
pitching yourself works, it does. But the first one that
I did reached out to me and I had absolutely

(35:21):
no idea what I was doing. I ended up making
a friend named Rob. He's Rob Keenan on TikTok. He's
great anyway, met him and he was already working. He
had a manager, and he was kind of helping me
with the things I'm supposed to be saying my pricing,

(35:42):
And at the time we had the same amount of followers,
so he pretty much helped me through that whole thing,
Like he gave me a whole template of what kind
of email I should be sending back and instead of
you know a lot of people will sending a media
kit immediately like here's my rate, this, this and that,
when really you should be asking what's their budget.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
Sometimes I can tell you their budget.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
Until you tell your rate, but you should always try
to get their budget first. But yeah, I have no
idea about any of that, and the first few probably
still to this day, I'm probably.

Speaker 6 (36:16):
Getting fucked over a little bit.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
I'm not gonna lie to you because I don't have
a manager and I don't want one.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
So.

Speaker 5 (36:23):
I'd rather like set my pricing at what feels like
it makes sense to me, as opposed to Okay, they're
like managers reach out to you all the time, like,
you know, well, we're gonna take twenty thirty mm. I
could have made that by myself. If you're gonna take
all that money off on top, what the hell. So yeah,

(36:46):
first Brandal reach out to me.

Speaker 1 (36:49):
And what was that brand?

Speaker 6 (36:55):
I'm not sure if it was bloom.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
Which which is more of a like, okay, do this
many videos a mom? I don't even know if I
can say that.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Oh, like what their whole little setup is?

Speaker 6 (37:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Hold on, let me think real quick what you said?
What the fuck did you sign? She don't even know.
She's just over there and make a content, sign the
papers and get the check.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
I had that.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Okay, do you do Facebook as well?

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Because I know Facebook bus reel checks out like Facebook itself.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
Yes, my my Instagram videos go on to Facebook, but
I don't post on Facebook, so a lot of people
know me Facebook, and I had no idea, Like, I
don't know because when I try to post a video
on Facebook reels or whatever, they are excuse me. They
did not do well. But when it comes to the contracts,
my mom and my stepdad look over all my contracts

(37:56):
for me.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
So I my stepdad, you have a team.

Speaker 6 (38:03):
He is now my manager.

Speaker 5 (38:05):
But he has learned the in and outs of everything
because he's reading these contrasts. He's like, Okay, this sounds good,
but now he's learning, Okay, this is what you should
be making and you're supposed to be making a lot
more off of this than you are.

Speaker 6 (38:14):
And I'm like, okay, cool, well you got it. Break
it down, here's your percent.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
So yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
So how do you How do you plan content? Like
do you just be like laying in the bed like
that pot roll is gonna go bad? Let me go
ahead and cook that ship.

Speaker 6 (38:32):
Like so I have.

Speaker 5 (38:38):
I have a physical planner, I have a digital planner
on my iPad and have my notebook. So on my
physical planner, I put all the brand deals that I
have to do, what they the drafts are do and
when they're supposed to be posted on my other on

(38:58):
my digital planner so it seems it's more fun.

Speaker 6 (39:01):
And I have all the stickers and all the pictures
and stuff.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
I kind of break it down like, Okay, I'm gonna
do one of each of these a week. If I
can get like three four videos out a week, that's perfect.
So I'll go on my planner and I plan. Probably
I like to plan the whole month, but it never
works out out like that.

Speaker 6 (39:19):
So I plan the week, I plan the.

Speaker 5 (39:22):
Month, and then I go back and edit the weeks
because it never works, but you kind of get into
a routine. So like on Mondays, I post what I
eat in the days. On Tuesdays, I'll post like the
dinner from what I eat in a day, but a
little bit like more on death of the dinner. And
then Wednesday or Thursday I'll post a vlogs. So I
just I already kind of have a rhythm of it,

(39:44):
but if I were new to it, I would plan
on how many days you're gonna post every week and
just try to depending on your niche or whatever it
is that you know you're I don't I don't really
believe in a niche.

Speaker 6 (39:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (39:59):
But depending on what it is that you post, maybe
write out in your notebook. That's what my notebook is
for details about what it is that everything's coming about.
But like fifty to one hundred things that you can post,
and there's that many things that you can post.

Speaker 6 (40:18):
There's more than that. But after you do that, then
you start to put it in your plan.

Speaker 5 (40:23):
You're like, okay, number one, Okay, that sounds good, I
want to put this on this day, and then you're
just trying to say that schedule and if you can't,
then you just revamp it a little bit every week.

Speaker 6 (40:31):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 1 (40:33):
It's not like work a job, it's a real job.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
Lexi's Instagram is Lexi is Lexi two Eyes Johnson. Right,
So if y'all go on her Instagram page, it's lit okay,
and it's very very nice.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Like these videos are to me top notch?

Speaker 3 (40:49):
Right, So what are the best practices for creating visually
appealing Instagram posts? Because the last thing you posted you
added diet app thing, And now I'm like, how do
fun I use canvas? I know how to use these things.
I know, like, how what are we doing? How many
different programs are you using to produce this content? We

(41:12):
got four cameras, you got two phones, two cameras, How
many programs?

Speaker 1 (41:15):
How are you creating this dope as content?

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (41:18):
Because I just want to say, like, when I be
trying before you start, when I.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Be trying to create content, I'm looking like that it.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
Bad?

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Auntie back up, Bryan.

Speaker 5 (41:35):
So the best way to get your content top notch
is to just post it.

Speaker 6 (41:42):
Don't keep practicing. I mean that's what I did.

Speaker 5 (41:44):
I did practice before I posted, but I didn't actually
start learning anything until I post it. Okay, but you
don't need two phones, three cameras, five to ten, none
of that. You need one phone. You don't even need
a camera. Even if you're on YouTube. You can literally
make a YouTube video with your I phone.

Speaker 6 (42:00):
Just don't use an Android.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
God, don't look just they have the best cameras. Though
Android cameras are better than iPhone.

Speaker 6 (42:08):
That's fine, but not on social media.

Speaker 5 (42:10):
Mmm, it don't work like that on on TikTok and Instagram.

Speaker 6 (42:16):
You need an my phone. I don't know, it's just
I might get chewed out for that.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
But look, if I see an Android video and it's
not something that's about to be like me slapping funny,
I'm scrolling to the next one, there's no way I'm
about to watch it.

Speaker 6 (42:31):
It just doesn't look like.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
He ain't no Android like that.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
I feel like I look ugly on the Apple phone,
Like I feel like they intentionally make you look weird
on their cameras. I look so good on an Android, bitch.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Okay, I'm telling you.

Speaker 6 (42:48):
On social media, I don't know what it is. Even
your emojis look crazy like I can't.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
Yeah, the emojis is wow, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (42:56):
The emojics are crazy. My mom is.

Speaker 5 (42:58):
She swears she'll never get enjoyed. Drives me crazy. But
camera beautiful, social media not so much.

Speaker 6 (43:08):
But all you need is a phone and cap cut.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
Do you use any cap cut? That's what I was
about to ask. What else you say?

Speaker 6 (43:17):
Any other editing app? Everything cut? Mm hmm, you just play.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
I just I remember a time where my Space I
used to be coding. I used to be coding for
my MySpace page. Now I can't even edit a fucking
video and make it look like something is crazy.

Speaker 6 (43:36):
You Cambo, you really can.

Speaker 4 (43:38):
I just really got to practice and not get like
I get overwhelmed and frustrated, frustrated, and I'm like, fuck
it right, and but I gotta get better at that.
That's definitely that's me the gold Fer. The next thirty days, I've.

Speaker 5 (43:52):
Had videos and I turn out like I wanted them
to and I had to re record them the next day,
And that ship is like the worst feeling.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
This mother it You just can't re record, you know,
It's just like it had to be in the moment,
like I tried to do that video. It's the simplest
ship with my family where it was like you were dancing,
like dancing slow with the light on and the light
off and it's flashing and y'all going crazy.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Trash that she came out. Trash.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
You can't see nobody. It's just a mess. I was like, yeah,

Speaker 5 (44:37):
Well, I'm putting an e book together, okay, just kind
of hitting on all of the questions that I get
all the time.

Speaker 6 (44:46):
So pretty much that's what it's gonna be.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
Just how to how to get off the ground with
your influent, your influence back.

Speaker 5 (44:56):
And I'm also going to put a course out in
editing course so mm hm for for my people that

Speaker 5 (45:09):
Much be everything that I've learned in the past year
doing just content.

Speaker 6 (45:15):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
So, like, what is your goal as far as your
social media is concerned, Like what's next? Like what do
you want to do?

Speaker 5 (45:22):
So I just want to use the platform that I've
built to start off some businesses that I have in
the works.

Speaker 6 (45:35):
I just have a lot in mind. But you know, ultimately.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
I'm trying to think of. Like side note question, should
I like say that I would like to at some
point do a cookbook or something like that, or do
I not want to speak on stuff like that?

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Why not.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
Into existence? Whatever you want to do, make sure you
put I am in front though. I am creating a
quickbook very soon, right, Okay, so we can turn into
I did create a cookbook and you can find it
on my little link thing on Instagram.

Speaker 6 (46:19):
But this is the thing about it. My maca cheese
ain't as good as timmis.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
That's okay. You can put my reciperior book it just
send me ten percent.

Speaker 6 (46:29):
My mom's, my dad's and I'll put Bams special macad cheese.
What's good.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
Absolutely, you make a lot of good stuff.

Speaker 4 (46:38):
I'll be wanting to just slide by your house and
just steal a place sometimes, but I'm trying to unbig
my back.

Speaker 6 (46:44):
Welcome you know you're working.

Speaker 5 (46:46):
But yeah, as far as what I want to do,
I just I want to use the platform to create
businesses and to take care and start a family and
be able to take you know, care them, and.

Speaker 6 (46:59):
Take care of my parents.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
My dad tell me, you know, my dad, he is
so ready for me to like be pregnant on Instagram
because that's next.

Speaker 6 (47:12):
But he's like.

Speaker 5 (47:15):
He ready to quit, h to retire. My mom is
already about to retire. So yeah, I just want to
make sure everything is good and then get back to Charlotte,
get back to my community. So I wanted to start
doing like food drives and things like that for the city,
and you know, stuff like that, and you gotta always
get back to here where are you from?

Speaker 6 (47:34):
You gotta do something.

Speaker 3 (47:36):
Well, I see your page, Rememberdy sent you this creator
I follow. Her name is Elena something. I can't even
pronounce the last name, but she's Russian. And when I
tell y'all, this lady is so fucking fabulous. So this
is this is my vision for you, right, just everything
is Chanelle, okay, honey, she just moved to America.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
I think she and Miami. I put a comment undneath
one of her pictures like, bitch, I want to go
to brunch.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
When I tell you all, I'm obsessed with this lady because
she's it's such a minimalist and everything is so neat,
and you got a place for everything, like I can
only aspire to be like y'all, right, because your house
looks similar from what we could see that the a
kitchen and stuff like that. So that's what I see
for Lexi Johnson. Okay, bad, but all right.

Speaker 4 (48:20):
Any advice for the girlies or guys listening who are
just getting started. They want to build their brand and
they just need to know where to start.

Speaker 5 (48:32):
The only place to start is on your page. Just
do that shit, Just do it. It's too many people
worried about the next person that ain't paying no bills.
Everybody is worried about imposter syndrome and just all the
things that aren't real and don't matter. Just post the content.

(48:53):
Stop waiting for the perfect time. It's like a baby
or marriage. There's no perfect time.

Speaker 6 (48:58):
Just do it.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
Do it on something that you truly believe in and
that you love. Because doing something that you know isn't
your every day or isn't you it's gonna be real
hard to keep up and you're not gonna be able
to do it. So do something that you know you're
already gonna do anyway, and just have fun with it,
because once it stops fun, it starts really being a job.
And why would I be working a job? I mean, yes,

(49:23):
it's a job. But I did not want to go
work for nobody. So make it fun because me doing
what you want to do.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
AJ you could do hand jobs. You're really good at this.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
I was thinking sleep like any niggas won't watch me
sleep like you think I can do.

Speaker 2 (49:39):
That's a real thing.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
People do that.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Hmmm, that's a real thing, like.

Speaker 6 (49:44):
A nap, like ten phones and I'll playing around the
room and they'll go on live.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
You know.

Speaker 5 (49:48):
Some people just send the gifts and it'll be like
thousands and thousands of people in there.

Speaker 6 (49:52):
Just send the money.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
I'm gonna start mashing my face in the different loads
of bread like that Asian girl. She'd just be mashing
her face, like literally mashing her face into different types
of bread, and she getting reached out for that.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
I could do that, Okay, the other thing I was
thinking about doing, But I like my life. Y'all know
Resa Tisa, who is like a TikTok and social media
phenomenon now, right, She went viral for telling her story
being married to a fool for half a year a
year or so, like, I could have been told my
story and how this nigga cut my wig up on TikTok,

(50:28):
But I just feel like she just gonna get sued.
I feel like somebody gonna come for me if I
really expose who the fuck they are.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Social media, don't say no names.

Speaker 5 (50:37):
Scared of her because he sounds like, I don't know
seen the videos went.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
I watched all of them. So the brother recently reached out.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
To her and you know, just wanted her to clear
up a couple of things that he said. Wasn't like
said correctly, but he essentially said, fuck that, nigga, do
you right?

Speaker 1 (51:01):
So now the brother, though, is the boyfriend ex husband.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Excuse me, he's trying to sue her, like he's contemplating
on whether or not he's gonna take a legal action
against her.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
I don't know. I mean, it's only defamation if it's
not the.

Speaker 4 (51:16):
Truth, right, I ain't gonna mash my Maybe I'll stump
on some grapes and mash some bread with my feet.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
I need some easy shit that don't take.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
I make a Peter butter and jelly every day and.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Stump on it.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
It's this one girl who I watch. She's pregnant now
and I don't know her name. I don't even think
she's American, but man, she'd be in there making cereal
from scratch for her kids.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
She's making breads like she's like cooking.

Speaker 3 (51:52):
Gore made shit right quick in a video, Like how
how are you doing this now you're pregnant?

Speaker 2 (52:00):
I got that kind of time. What's the bitch learn
how to make bread? It's time to get pretty.

Speaker 3 (52:07):
I plan on making bread soon, Like I ordered a
little mixer. You know what I'm saying, Like, y'all know
why because I shop at Fresh Fresh Market. So I'm
looking I buy my bread now from fresh Market, like
the fresh gloves. And if you look at the amount
of ingredients on a regular thing of bread, like whatever

(52:28):
bread you're like, let's say Hawaiian bread, whatever it is,
it's minimal ingredients and real bread.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
Like I want to make my own bread. I want
to make my own butter, and maybe that'll be my content.

Speaker 6 (52:40):
I was about to say content.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Oh you could call it bread and bitch.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
We did it, nigga, we made it. Hey, this ship
is your bread and butter. Now, Instagram is your met
bread and butter. TikTok is your bread and butter. This point,
but aside from social media and all that, I know
you said you are an investor and this is just

(53:05):
right quick.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
What you invest in this week?

Speaker 6 (53:06):
Yah?

Speaker 3 (53:07):
What you got going on? Because you know I be
in the stock market? What you what you got girl?

Speaker 5 (53:12):
I just have my long term investments right now. I'm
not playing with the data. I have the same investments
that honestly took me down a couple of years ago
and we're still waiting on to be back up. And
then my man and I have a store, and then
we have a home that we're flipping. We flipped houses too,
so investments in real estate and stops. So nothing this

(53:36):
week in the stock market. I hate it there. I
hate it there.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
Yeah, I'm in recovery mode.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
Yiall.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
They beat my ass up the last two years. But
I've been eating for the last couple of months. This week, y'all,
I'm in Mara. I don't know if y'all follow the
stock market in m Mar. I've been putting it in
my story. Pay attention. You might could make a couple
of dollars this week.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
Oh I saw that, but I thought that was a spin.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
This bitch, it's a money spell. You missed it, You
missed it. I woke up this thirty Just as soon
as I woke up.

Speaker 2 (54:09):

with the X instead of the O in the first
oh YouTube, Lexi dot Johnson. I don't know why I'm
Lexi on all platforms, but I am.

Speaker 6 (54:42):
Have you guys heard of Lemon eight?

Speaker 5 (54:45):
No, what is it called Lemon eight. It's a it's
a smaller platform. It's I just started posting on about
a week ago, and it's like Pinterest meets Instagram. So
it's fun, like you can draw on it and do
all the cool little edits and I would show you
right now, but you're not gonna be able to see
in screen.

Speaker 6 (55:04):
But it's real cool like on that.

Speaker 5 (55:06):
It's so small that like ten thousand followers on there.
It's like having two hundred thousand on Instagrams, so hundred
lights really like a thousand likes, you.

Speaker 6 (55:15):
Know, something like it's but it's so cool. I love it.
I just started posting everything.

Speaker 5 (55:19):
On there and people have known me from from TikTok,
but it's I think it's TikTok's like baby.

Speaker 6 (55:27):
Sister or something. I think they work closely together.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
So what is it called lemon eight? Like the number
eight to number eight?

Speaker 1 (55:33):
Are you monetized there as well?

Speaker 6 (55:36):
You can?

Speaker 5 (55:37):
I actually just got a DM earlier from leomen eight
and they want me to join basically like there, it
was the well they Lemon eight has a bunch of
different pages. They have Wellness, they have like health and
fitness they have which might be the same thing.

Speaker 6 (55:53):
They have lifestyle, they have a whole bunch of stuff.

Speaker 5 (55:55):
But Wellness reached out and was basically like could you
join our creator thing? And basically they pick the top
like one hundred performing videos and each person will get
paid that month from doing that.

Speaker 4 (56:09):
So yeah, I think that's that's a little too bit. Yeah,
everybody get lemonade.

Speaker 5 (56:14):
It's real cool for like smaller creators and people that
are just trying to get comfortable that don't want to
jump to TikTok or Instagram. It's somewhere where if you post,
you can literally leave it and leave it.

Speaker 6 (56:24):
Alone and not think about it.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
So I don't know.

Speaker 6 (56:27):
I think it's nice to know, just for anybody that
just wants something to play.

Speaker 4 (56:33):
Guess where I'm about to put my my mashing, my bread,
my peanut butter and jelly sandwich with my feet.

Speaker 5 (56:39):
Why you praud to see your editing, you can start posting.
I don't know one person on there too, so that's
the good part about it. Like, if you have the
fear of striking out in front of everyone, you know,
ain't nobody on there, ain't nobody about to see you.

Speaker 6 (56:52):
