But that's a special thing because.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I love my Bobby. Gosh, you know our history with
Bobby and her history with us. I mean, how many
years ago was it you came in here and we
started talking about ways to prepare your skin for summer,
ways to look great without overcaking pancake on, you know,
And those were the days that was a long time
ago we started with each other.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
That was a long time ago, And I remember exactly.
I was walking in Montclair, right past Jogi Barra's house
at the time, and I decided I had this idea,
and I texted you. I said, can I be a
regular on the show? And you said, okay, yeah. So
for a while I was a regular. But it was
just literally like I just called you and you said, okay,
thank you.

And you know what, and another thing we love about
Bobby but she loved tequila. We love that about it.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
It's a health drink.

So Bobby, of course, Bobby Brown, the massive, massive, incredible.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Company that everyone loved.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Of course you sold that and uh, and then you decided, gosh,
you know what, I'm going to rethink this.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
There's more.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
There's more mileage left in me. And here you go
again with Jones Road. It was like four years ago, right, long.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Will be four years?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Yeah, I you know, I stayed twenty two years as
an employee at that company.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
And we all know what it's like to work for
companies Elvis.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yes we do, and we still do. So be nice,

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Rich Bresler sins love, So be nice. Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
So and then I left and I had a twenty
five I had four and a half years left on
a twenty five year non compete, so I waited four
and a half years, and I launched the day the
non compete was up a week before the presidential election.
If you guys remember that, in the middle of the pandemic,
and I was like, what else was I gonna do?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
At sixty two years old.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
At the time, you had said to me, yeah, you know,
I'm probably not gonna open any stores.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
No, I said, I'm not opening any stores.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Now we we're about to open our sixth.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Ye zero.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, the newest one is in Brooklyn.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
So I'm sorry because that's where my kids live, so
at least, you know, I get to see them but waiting.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
But I know that here in the city.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You're kicking off an event at your Greenwich Village store
Extraly June seventh.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
That's today today, Yes, today, Why are you here?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
You should be working st going. I'll be there from
one to three. So we have this truck campaign where
the trucks have been driving around New York with all
these cool Jones Road stuff on the side of it.
I'm on the back of one of the trucks. That's
about as you know. They gave me the back of
a truck, and so I'll be popping out of the
truck in front of the store kind of throwing many
miracle bombs at people.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I tell everyone exactly what Jones Road is about so
we can hook them on. It's like everyone else who's
hooked it to.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Jones Road is a makeup brand that I founded four
and a half years ago, not by myself with all
these amazing cool people, but it's basically my life's work
and passion to create makeup that actually makes you look better, duh.
And it's a clean brand, which is just a nice thing.
(04:22):
But they're really like efficacious formulas. They make you look good.
And I forget if I'm not allowed to swear on
this show.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
How not to look like poop? Poop? You could say,
poop poop? How not to look like poop?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
We know what I know.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I can't stand the fact that we were governed by
the FCC. You know, the government gets away with so
many evil things every day. But we can't say, you know,
anything worse than poop. But you know what, what we've
always loved about you and Jones Road, of course, is
living this mantra every day, and that's be yourself, be you.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
The beauty is already there.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
You don't need to depend on any product to make
you beautiful, because the beauty is there's true.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Not true.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
You need moisturizers, you need maybe a little bit of concealer,
some you know what I'm saying. No, but it's so.
Our campaign, which I'm really proud of, is called I
Am Me, I Am I am me.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
And if you think.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
About it, like we are who we are, guess what
we I tried to be someone else. It kind of
didn't work, Like you know, I just couldn't do it.
But when you realize you are you, and it's okay.
You just become more comfortable in your skin and better.
So I am me as a campaign for Jones Road
to just help people everywhere feel good about who they are. Yes,
(05:40):
we can all be better, we want to strive to
be better, but it's okay that we are who we are.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
So I am me.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
And you've always lived that mantra, you really have.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I mean, I always make fun of She became the
most successful person in the cosmetic business by telling people
not to.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Wear cosmetics or not not too much of it, right,
just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
I mean honestly, I look better with just a little
bit of makeup, and I look not great without any,
but I'm comfortable without it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You look great without it. Don't even start that I look.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I look fine, I look good, I look great, you
look great. We all look good.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Someone as successful as Bobby Brunn, even she's she has
doubts about herself and we all do. And that's who
we are, and that's totally fine. Lean into it.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It is.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
And you know what I'm I'm not someone that says
don't do anything. I mean no, it takes a lot
of work to look like you're not doing anything.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
I color my hair, I get a little bit laser,
I put moisturizer on, I put sunscreen on. I get
blowouts because I don't know how to do my own hair.
I cannot do my hair to save anything.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
And you can sleep on it. It's fine.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I sleep on it, but I'm gonna take it off.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
And if I blow my hair out the night before
and I sleep on it, I wake up, it looks
like I don't even know what happened to me.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But then I just go with it. It's fine.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
And if it's really bad, I just put in a
ponytail and today I'll be wearing a trucker hat.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
So it's fine.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
There you go, see I, there you go.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I wish more and more of our listeners and us
we would, we would, we would live this way. Yeah,
of living just I'm not saying it's living a life
of not caring. That's not what it is. I think
we should just put more emphasis on caring for the
most important things and just understand that if we just
trust who we are, the rest of it will just
(07:24):
fall into place.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
We're good.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
And it's so funny like we all like worry what
am I gonna wear to this party.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
What am I gonna wear to the wedding? What am
I gonna wear?
Speaker 8 (07:31):
Hair?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
And when you get there, no one notices what you're wearing,
like no one cares. Like you don't remember what people wear.
You remember how they treat how they treated you.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
How they made you feel.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Right, you know, and you remember while they looked really good.
And sometimes when people don't look good, it's because they're tired,
they're just you know, I've had a killer week. I
cannot even believe that I am still going like the
fourth or fifth day. As I know you feel the
same thing, all you guys here, but you know what,
you just go with it. And so you don't look
as good on Fridays did on Wednesday or Tuesday. But okay,
(08:02):
it's all right.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I looked best on Tuesday this week. Yeah I look great.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Yeah, Tuesdays is usually a good day because Mondays you're
like uh oh, and Tuesdays you're like okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So we have to get back to the basics. Yes,
we just like you, just like the old days. I
want you to remind us as we roll into the
hottest of summer months. Yes, the checklist of things we
should always do to take care of ourselves.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Is first of all, drink water. And drink water and
put a little like salt in your water because that
helps it absorb in your system.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
A little lemon is good for you. Just make sure
you drink the water.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
And by the way, I struggle with this, but I
notice the biggest difference when I actually do it. And
move your body and move your body every day, Like
I don't care what you do. I don't care if
you go dance, like you know.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Are you still dancing?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Oh yeah, I'm still dancing.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah, you know. I love Lloyd. You guys have to
come sometime. I want live with Lloyd.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
He's amazing.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
And sometimes I see the videos and I'm like, I'm
like fifteen years older than most of the people in
the class, and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Okay, I look really tired. Okay, I was really tired.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
That I know.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I do it.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Anyways, the fact is you're doing it, yeah, And that.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Is the truth.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
So those are then, and then water and move sunscreen,
and just the food that's not making you feel good,
whatever it is, eat less of it. Like it's not
that complicated, Like you just eat less of the things
that don't make you feel good. I mean I went
down from two drinks to one.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Because I felt better per hour when I'm not drinking
with you.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
But yes, no, because I want to wake up in
the morning feeling good. So it's just I live my
life by common sense and the things that Aunt Dallas
taught me. Who's my ninety two year old aunt who
has the most common sense of anyone.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I know, what are the things that Aunt Alice teach you?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You can you just name some other things that Aunt
Alice because we would all love an Aunt Alice right now.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Well, first of all, if I ask her anything, she
starts it by saying, look, look, go over and give
Steven a cup of tea and ask him how his
day was okay, like things like that, Like all right,
Aunt Alice, that makes sense. You know, I can come
home and say there's no food, the kids are messing
up the house. But I'm like, she says, go And
(10:21):
as soon as I did that, he was in a
good move. I know he's probably listening. I'm sorry, Steven,
I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Hi, Steve. I was gonna ask you how Steve's doing.
But Steve's doing great because you have an Aunt Alice exactly.
Steve not crazy about tea, but it's a gesture.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
And she's the one that told me it was time
to leave my old company. She said, I just you've
been complaining for years.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
It's time.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
And she teaches me to wear flat shoes and not
high heels, because why would you wear high heels, like
so what, you're not tall?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I think.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Look, I'm not a straight guy, but I would think
that high heels are best if worn in bed.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
You are probably.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Be on top of them.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Or in a photograph.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I have all the I have the most beautiful shoe
collection that sits in my basement if you ever want them,
because I know you will wear them.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Gandhi. I only there. The bottoms are clean because I
only wear them for like a photo shoe.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I take them off.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
The second don and I put my Steve Madden rubber
shoes on.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I will be over.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Yeah. Stuff done, no problem, stuff, Daniel, Daniel, Gandhi.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
When when we were talking about Bobby coming in today,
I watched you both light up.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Bobby Brown here because she's like because she's part of
the family.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Okay, why do you love her? I want to hear
more because I mean, I know what you're gonna say.
I want everyone to hear why we always has.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
This good energy, she always has good advice. She always
is like herself.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Am I turning into Antallisallas.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
She's always true to herself and she always has this
great wisdom that I feel like she gives us all
the time. It's just it's just nice. It's it's it's
it's like at home comfort feeling. I feel like when
she walks in.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Ye and Elvis, you didn't get to meet my daughter
in law.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Who's here? Who's pile highway about? She's she's she's my
granddaughter's mother. So we have to be really nice to No. Wait,
was this was this the Indian wedding?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Wait?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
I'm getting Yes, her wedding was and half Indian and
half Jewish, so is the.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I know. That's why. This is why I want to
get married to Gandhi.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I want to have kids, and I want to have
an Indian wedding because I've never been invited to one.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
It's amazing. It's really the most fun, incredible thing. Even
though there was no elephant or horse, I really I
tried so hard to get both of them.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Of course you did.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
And honestly like it was such a fun wedding because
we're so similar like these you know, there's so many
of our backgrounds. Guys were so similar, were the same.
They're just better dancers than we are.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
There you go and but by Gandhi you sat up
and you said it erect and all smiley when you
saw Bobby Brown wall to that door.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Why is that?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I love Bobby.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I think she's super inspirational. I've learned from you that
less is more, which I appreciate. I actually your product line.
I appreciate the packaging, but I also like that none
of it is really heavy and cakey. It's light, it's easy.
But more importantly, just as a person, I feel like
I learn a lot from you and I appreciate that,
and I want to keep learning things from you because
you've had such a fascinating life and it just keeps going.
(13:29):
You keep getting better.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
It's going.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
It's crazy, it's cool, and I think that's I don't
know how old your listeners are. I don't know if
you have all different ages or all we do. But
I mean, I started this company at sixty two. I'm
going to be sixty seven. I have no thoughts of
not doing what I'm doing. I have none. I mean,
maybe one day I'll stop saying how old I am.
But I think it's important for people to know. It
(13:50):
doesn't really matter.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
In my head. I'm I think in my head, I'm
thirty one.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I like that, Okay, in my head, yeah, not a
bad age. No, I turned sixty this year. I turned
sixty in August.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Oh my god, I was at your fiftieth party. I
didn'tet invited to the sixtieth.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Shut it down, all right, we gottund.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
He doesn't want turning it August.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It's not happening.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
We are, we got this, don't. We're not gonna. You
can't fire these people, can You can't.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I don't want to party when I'm sixty. Let's just
hang out. Let's have a cocktail, smoke a joint, and
call it today.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I'm good. I'm good. It's a party. That's good. That's
all I want.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
But I but I will tell you this, and a
lot of people who are listening, who are in their
thirties or whatever, you know what. A lot of people
I know, they get upset when they turn another year older.
I don't understand that I am having more fun now
than I've had in my entire life.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I could second that.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
And by the way, there's I mean there's things that
you could do now in your thirties. It'll make a
difference in your sixties. First of all, make sure you
can get out of a beach chair.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Okay, Like I'm not kidding.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
I was at the beach with a bunch of friends
of my age and I kept getting up and down
because I needed something, and they kept looking at me.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
How do you do that?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I'm like, how do I not do that?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Get out of a beach chair?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Yes, like when you're sitting on those low chairs, I
mean I do. I do squats at the gym, and
by the way, that helps, you know, I do those
like big giant medicine balls that I throw against the wall.
So when I'm on an airplane and I have to
get a bag down, I don't always have to ask
someone to help me.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
You can do it. I could do it well.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I stand on the seat though, because I'm so short.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I get it down. Something tells me you do your
key goals a lot.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I never did a kegel in my life.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I'm doing them right now.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Is this.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
I should have do keegels people.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I did not. It's never too late to start kegling.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Well, look, I try to keep my regine nice and tight.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
So wait, wait, my daughter in law's looking at me.
Is there anything you want me to say? We talked
about the trucks, we talked about I am me talk
about what's coming out next?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Is there anything else?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
She does marketing?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
She's my head of brand. She is my head of brand,
and her husband is the head of growth.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
The chief of marketing and revenue.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yes, yes, yes, so I like I think I work
for myself.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
No.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
The whole thing is the whole thing is that let
them do all the work. Hey, I will tell you this.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
The texts are coming in, everyone just going on and
on about your your miracle bombs.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I mean that's what they love. They love your miracle ball.
Can I tell you something else?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I love about Bobby and the crew here. They're very
nice and they send us product. And it's because of
that that I realized that people living in my old
apartment are stealing my mail.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Yeah, highlighted it.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Because when asked me, hey, did you get this product?
I said no. They told me the address they sent
it to I tracked it down.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
It was taken up. No to self, text me your
new address.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (16:56):

Speaker 3 (00:09):
She can't hear It's big day.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
Hey, Daddy, Remember you used to love me, Elvis. You're
one of my best friends. But I don't see you.

Well I know, no, I'm I live in the great
state of New Jersey right down the street from But
you're you're too busy putting up stores.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
You don't have time for me.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
Oh stop, I think about you all the time. You
are like one of the best viewers, a very important
person in my life.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
You know, Bobby Brown and I we have this relationship
where you can talk to each other every day or
talk to each other every other year, and it's the
same as every days.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
But that's a special thing because.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I love my Bobby. Gosh, you know our history with
Bobby and her history with us. I mean, how many
years ago was it you came in here and we
started talking about ways to prepare your skin for summer,
ways to look great without overcaking pancake on, you know,
And those were the days that was a long time
ago we started with each other.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
That was a long time ago, And I remember exactly.
I was walking in Montclair, right past Jogi Barra's house
at the time, and I decided I had this idea,
and I texted you. I said, can I be a
regular on the show? And you said, okay, yeah. So
for a while I was a regular. But it was
just literally like I just called you and you said, okay,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And you know what, and another thing we love about
Bobby but she loved tequila. We love that about it.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Oh no, what happened? Oh god, do you want to
talk about it? Did someone hurt you as a child?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
No?
Speaker 5 (01:35):
It just makes me feel better the next day. So okay, yeah,
I have a drink call. It's called Bobby Rocks.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It is.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
It's a health drink.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Actually there is fresh cucumber juice, a giant ice cube,
fresh lemon juice, mint, and a shot of vodka.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
So I feel Detoks while you retalk.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I got healthier just hearing about it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
So Bobby, of course, Bobby Brown, the massive, massive, incredible.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Company that everyone loved.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Of course you sold that and uh, and then you decided, gosh,
you know what, I'm going to rethink this.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
There's more.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
There's more mileage left in me. And here you go
again with Jones Road. It was like four years ago, right, long.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Will be four years?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Yeah, I you know, I stayed twenty two years as
an employee at that company.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
And we all know what it's like to work for
companies Elvis.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yes we do, and we still do. So be nice,
but go ahead. I love, by the way, you have.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
The best corporate company in America.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Rich Bresler sins love, So be nice. Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
So and then I left and I had a twenty
five I had four and a half years left on
a twenty five year non compete, so I waited four
and a half years, and I launched the day the
non compete was up a week before the presidential election.
If you guys remember that, in the middle of the pandemic,
and I was like, what else was I gonna do?
Speaker 4 (03:00):
At sixty two years old.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
At the time, you had said to me, yeah, you know,
I'm probably not gonna open any stores.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
No, I said, I'm not opening any stores.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Now we we're about to open our sixth.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Ye zero.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Yeah, the newest one is in Brooklyn.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
So I'm sorry because that's where my kids live, so
at least, you know, I get to see them but waiting.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
But I know that here in the city.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
You're kicking off an event at your Greenwich Village store
Extraly June seventh.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
That's today today, Yes, today, Why are you here?
Speaker 5 (03:32):
You should be working st going. I'll be there from
one to three. So we have this truck campaign where
the trucks have been driving around New York with all
these cool Jones Road stuff on the side of it.
I'm on the back of one of the trucks. That's
about as you know. They gave me the back of
a truck, and so I'll be popping out of the
truck in front of the store kind of throwing many
miracle bombs at people.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I tell everyone exactly what Jones Road is about so
we can hook them on. It's like everyone else who's
hooked it to.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Jones Road is a makeup brand that I founded four
and a half years ago, not by myself with all
these amazing cool people, but it's basically my life's work
and passion to create makeup that actually makes you look better, duh.
And it's a clean brand, which is just a nice thing.
(04:22):
But they're really like efficacious formulas. They make you look good.
And I forget if I'm not allowed to swear on
this show.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
Right?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
How not to look like poop? Poop? You could say,
poop poop? How not to look like poop?
Speaker 3 (04:40):
We know what I know.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
I can't stand the fact that we were governed by
the FCC. You know, the government gets away with so
many evil things every day. But we can't say, you know,
anything worse than poop. But you know what, what we've
always loved about you and Jones Road, of course, is
living this mantra every day, and that's be yourself, be you.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
The beauty is already there.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
You don't need to depend on any product to make
you beautiful, because the beauty is there's true.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Not true.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
You need moisturizers, you need maybe a little bit of concealer,
some you know what I'm saying. No, but it's so.
Our campaign, which I'm really proud of, is called I
Am Me, I Am I am me.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
And if you think.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
About it, like we are who we are, guess what
we I tried to be someone else. It kind of
didn't work, Like you know, I just couldn't do it.
But when you realize you are you, and it's okay.
You just become more comfortable in your skin and better.
So I am me as a campaign for Jones Road
to just help people everywhere feel good about who they are. Yes,
(05:40):
we can all be better, we want to strive to
be better, but it's okay that we are who we are.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
So I am me.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
And you've always lived that mantra, you really have.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
I mean, I always make fun of She became the
most successful person in the cosmetic business by telling people
not to.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Wear cosmetics or not not too much of it, right,
just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
I mean honestly, I look better with just a little
bit of makeup, and I look not great without any,
but I'm comfortable without it.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You look great without it. Don't even start that I look.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I look fine, I look good, I look great, you
look great. We all look good.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Someone as successful as Bobby Brunn, even she's she has
doubts about herself and we all do. And that's who
we are, and that's totally fine. Lean into it.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
It is.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
And you know what I'm I'm not someone that says
don't do anything. I mean no, it takes a lot
of work to look like you're not doing anything.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
I color my hair, I get a little bit laser,
I put moisturizer on, I put sunscreen on. I get
blowouts because I don't know how to do my own hair.
I cannot do my hair to save anything.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
And you can sleep on it. It's fine.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
I sleep on it, but I'm gonna take it off.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
And if I blow my hair out the night before
and I sleep on it, I wake up, it looks
like I don't even know what happened to me.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But then I just go with it. It's fine.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
And if it's really bad, I just put in a
ponytail and today I'll be wearing a trucker hat.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
So it's fine.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
There you go, see I, there you go.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I wish more and more of our listeners and us
we would, we would, we would live this way. Yeah,
of living just I'm not saying it's living a life
of not caring. That's not what it is. I think
we should just put more emphasis on caring for the
most important things and just understand that if we just
trust who we are, the rest of it will just
(07:24):
fall into place.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
We're good.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
And it's so funny like we all like worry what
am I gonna wear to this party.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
What am I gonna wear to the wedding? What am
I gonna wear?
Speaker 8 (07:31):
Hair?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
And when you get there, no one notices what you're wearing,
like no one cares. Like you don't remember what people wear.
You remember how they treat how they treated you.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
How they made you feel.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Right, you know, and you remember while they looked really good.
And sometimes when people don't look good, it's because they're tired,
they're just you know, I've had a killer week. I
cannot even believe that I am still going like the
fourth or fifth day. As I know you feel the
same thing, all you guys here, but you know what,
you just go with it. And so you don't look
as good on Fridays did on Wednesday or Tuesday. But okay,
(08:02):
it's all right.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I looked best on Tuesday this week. Yeah I look great.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Yeah, Tuesdays is usually a good day because Mondays you're
like uh oh, and Tuesdays you're like okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So we have to get back to the basics. Yes,
we just like you, just like the old days. I
want you to remind us as we roll into the
hottest of summer months. Yes, the checklist of things we
should always do to take care of ourselves.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
Is first of all, drink water. And drink water and
put a little like salt in your water because that
helps it absorb in your system.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
A little lemon is good for you. Just make sure
you drink the water.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
And by the way, I struggle with this, but I
notice the biggest difference when I actually do it. And
move your body and move your body every day, Like
I don't care what you do. I don't care if
you go dance, like you know.
Speaker 7 (08:52):
Are you still dancing?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Oh yeah, I'm still dancing.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yeah, you know. I love Lloyd. You guys have to
come sometime. I want live with Lloyd.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
He's amazing.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
And sometimes I see the videos and I'm like, I'm
like fifteen years older than most of the people in
the class, and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Okay, I look really tired. Okay, I was really tired.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
That I know.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
I do it.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Anyways, the fact is you're doing it, yeah, And that.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Is the truth.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
So those are then, and then water and move sunscreen,
and just the food that's not making you feel good,
whatever it is, eat less of it. Like it's not
that complicated, Like you just eat less of the things
that don't make you feel good. I mean I went
down from two drinks to one.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Because I felt better per hour when I'm not drinking
with you.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
But yes, no, because I want to wake up in
the morning feeling good. So it's just I live my
life by common sense and the things that Aunt Dallas
taught me. Who's my ninety two year old aunt who
has the most common sense of anyone.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
I know, what are the things that Aunt Alice teach you?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You can you just name some other things that Aunt
Alice because we would all love an Aunt Alice right now.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Well, first of all, if I ask her anything, she
starts it by saying, look, look, go over and give
Steven a cup of tea and ask him how his
day was okay, like things like that, Like all right,
Aunt Alice, that makes sense. You know, I can come
home and say there's no food, the kids are messing
up the house. But I'm like, she says, go And
(10:21):
as soon as I did that, he was in a
good move. I know he's probably listening. I'm sorry, Steven,
I'm talking.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Hi, Steve. I was gonna ask you how Steve's doing.
But Steve's doing great because you have an Aunt Alice exactly.
Steve not crazy about tea, but it's a gesture.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
And she's the one that told me it was time
to leave my old company. She said, I just you've
been complaining for years.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
It's time.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
And she teaches me to wear flat shoes and not
high heels, because why would you wear high heels, like
so what, you're not tall?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
I think.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Look, I'm not a straight guy, but I would think
that high heels are best if worn in bed.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
You are probably.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Be on top of them.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Or in a photograph.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I have all the I have the most beautiful shoe
collection that sits in my basement if you ever want them,
because I know you will wear them.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Gandhi. I only there. The bottoms are clean because I
only wear them for like a photo shoe.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
I take them off.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
The second don and I put my Steve Madden rubber
shoes on.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
I will be over.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
Yeah. Stuff done, no problem, stuff, Daniel, Daniel, Gandhi.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
When when we were talking about Bobby coming in today,
I watched you both light up.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Bobby Brown here because she's like because she's part of
the family.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Okay, why do you love her? I want to hear
more because I mean, I know what you're gonna say.
I want everyone to hear why we always has.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
This good energy, she always has good advice. She always
is like herself.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Am I turning into Antallisallas.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
She's always true to herself and she always has this
great wisdom that I feel like she gives us all
the time. It's just it's just nice. It's it's it's
it's like at home comfort feeling. I feel like when
she walks in.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Ye and Elvis, you didn't get to meet my daughter
in law.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
Who's here? Who's pile highway about? She's she's she's my
granddaughter's mother. So we have to be really nice to No. Wait,
was this was this the Indian wedding?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Wait?
Speaker 5 (12:21):
I'm getting Yes, her wedding was and half Indian and
half Jewish, so is the.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I know. That's why. This is why I want to
get married to Gandhi.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I want to have kids, and I want to have
an Indian wedding because I've never been invited to one.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
It's amazing. It's really the most fun, incredible thing. Even
though there was no elephant or horse, I really I
tried so hard to get both of them.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Of course you did.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
And honestly like it was such a fun wedding because
we're so similar like these you know, there's so many
of our backgrounds. Guys were so similar, were the same.
They're just better dancers than we are.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
There you go and but by Gandhi you sat up
and you said it erect and all smiley when you
saw Bobby Brown wall to that door.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Why is that?
Speaker 4 (13:06):
I love Bobby.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I think she's super inspirational. I've learned from you that
less is more, which I appreciate. I actually your product line.
I appreciate the packaging, but I also like that none
of it is really heavy and cakey. It's light, it's easy.
But more importantly, just as a person, I feel like
I learn a lot from you and I appreciate that,
and I want to keep learning things from you because
you've had such a fascinating life and it just keeps going.
(13:29):
You keep getting better.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
It's going.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
It's crazy, it's cool, and I think that's I don't
know how old your listeners are. I don't know if
you have all different ages or all we do. But
I mean, I started this company at sixty two. I'm
going to be sixty seven. I have no thoughts of
not doing what I'm doing. I have none. I mean,
maybe one day I'll stop saying how old I am.
But I think it's important for people to know. It
(13:50):
doesn't really matter.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
In my head. I'm I think in my head, I'm
thirty one.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I like that, Okay, in my head, yeah, not a
bad age. No, I turned sixty this year. I turned
sixty in August.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Oh my god, I was at your fiftieth party. I
didn'tet invited to the sixtieth.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Shut it down, all right, we gottund.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
He doesn't want turning it August.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It's not happening.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
We are, we got this, don't. We're not gonna. You
can't fire these people, can You can't.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I don't want to party when I'm sixty. Let's just
hang out. Let's have a cocktail, smoke a joint, and
call it today.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
I'm good. I'm good. It's a party. That's good. That's
all I want.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
But I but I will tell you this, and a
lot of people who are listening, who are in their
thirties or whatever, you know what. A lot of people
I know, they get upset when they turn another year older.
I don't understand that I am having more fun now
than I've had in my entire life.
Speaker 4 (14:51):
I could second that.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
And by the way, there's I mean there's things that
you could do now in your thirties. It'll make a
difference in your sixties. First of all, make sure you
can get out of a beach chair.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Okay, Like I'm not kidding.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
I was at the beach with a bunch of friends
of my age and I kept getting up and down
because I needed something, and they kept looking at me.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
How do you do that?
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I'm like, how do I not do that?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Get out of a beach chair?
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Yes, like when you're sitting on those low chairs, I
mean I do. I do squats at the gym, and
by the way, that helps, you know, I do those
like big giant medicine balls that I throw against the wall.
So when I'm on an airplane and I have to
get a bag down, I don't always have to ask
someone to help me.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
You can do it. I could do it well.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
I stand on the seat though, because I'm so short.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
I get it down. Something tells me you do your
key goals a lot.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I never did a kegel in my life.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I'm doing them right now.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Is this.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
I should have do keegels people.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I did not. It's never too late to start kegling.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Well, look, I try to keep my regine nice and tight.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
So wait, wait, my daughter in law's looking at me.
Is there anything you want me to say? We talked
about the trucks, we talked about I am me talk
about what's coming out next?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Is there anything else?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
She does marketing?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
She's my head of brand. She is my head of brand,
and her husband is the head of growth.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
The chief of marketing and revenue.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yes, yes, yes, so I like I think I work
for myself.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
No.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
The whole thing is the whole thing is that let
them do all the work. Hey, I will tell you this.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
The texts are coming in, everyone just going on and
on about your your miracle bombs.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I mean that's what they love. They love your miracle ball.
Can I tell you something else?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I love about Bobby and the crew here. They're very
nice and they send us product. And it's because of
that that I realized that people living in my old
apartment are stealing my mail.
Speaker 8 (16:41):
Yeah, highlighted it.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Because when asked me, hey, did you get this product?
I said no. They told me the address they sent
it to I tracked it down.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
It was taken up. No to self, text me your
new address.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
But but keep it going to the old address too,
because it's word of mouth, Zach. Okay, So congratulations on everything.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
