Send us a text

Imagine the first time you met your dearest friend - can you recollect that moment? Join me as I travel down memory lane with my beloved friend, Barbara, or as you might know her, Barbie from the 'Let Me Touch You' podcast. We reminisce about our colorful journey, from the moment we met up until our recent collaborations, including the unforgettable series of podcasts we hosted in DC. You'll hear about the birth of Barbie's podcast, our enlightening conversation on the Seven Rules of Life episode, and the festivities surrounding her recently celebrated birthday. We also touch upon the rather amusing etiquette of sharing food, resonating with everyone who's ever had their fries stealthily stolen.

But what is friendship without its trials and tribulations? Our bond too has been tested by time and tribulation, and in this episode, we share how our friendship has endured and emerged stronger. Barbie's transparent emotional demeanor plays a big role in solidifying our bond. We delve deep into the value of processing emotions, maintaining kindness amidst adversity, and the crucial role our reactions play in dealing with life's setbacks. You'll get to peek into our support system, the lessons we have gleaned, and the essence of following our morals. It's more than just a heartwarming celebration of friendship, it's an exploration of resilience and the magical world of podcasts we've been part of.

I'm grammatically correct.
Anyway, I want you guys to joinme in wishing Barbara, aka
Barbie, from the Let Me Touchyou podcast.
I want you guys to join me inwishing her a happy birthday
today.
Now she celebrated last weekend.
She went out, had a blast,hosted it.

(01:16):
It looked like she had a goodtime, a really good time friends
, family, all that other goodshit.
I wasn't near, had to work Iknow that's the next question
Like she's such a good friend,why weren't you there?
Why didn't you fuck yourbusiness?
Behave, all right.
So what I'm going to do is takeyou down memory lane.
It's going to be short too.

(01:36):
This shit is going to be likefive, 10 minutes at best, but
I'm going to take you downmemory lane, all right.
So I met Barb which actuallyhappens to be the good angel on
my shoulder via a podcast postthat she had called the upload.
She was going to do some things.

(01:57):
You know I was trying to atthat time.
I was running around trying to,I guess, collab or network not
collab, because at that time wedidn't have a lot of people on
our show Not guest that is.
So we started talking and wentand I went and listened to a
podcast.
We started talking.
She was going to do some stuff,right.
The tears started flowing, noton my side, but on her side.

(02:20):
She's a very emotional person,you know, because of what she
was going through and how wewere connected and the chip was
like damn, that's crazy.
I hung up the phone and I waslike we were instantaneously
friends.
That was it that sealed thedeal.
The tears that signed contract,the friends.
We were friends from then, fromthat point on.

(02:42):
And then we got together with acouple of other podcasts and
decided we were going to takeour asses down to DC.
Disclaimer Don't tell the worstfucking stories ever.
The worst stories ever.
Anyway, we went down to DC, westayed in Airbnb, we had a
hodgepodge of everything.
It was a really dope time,really dope time.
A lot of string friendshipsafter that, but it was a really

(03:05):
dope time.
Like if I could rewind time anddo it all again I would.
Came back to New York, we gottight and we decided you know,
with a couple of other podcastsis one of the podcasts that we
would form and watch the hometeam pods and do a live.
Now, creatively, bob and I weconnect because it's like all

(03:28):
right, we could do this, but howcan we do it differently?
And I'm a quality world, soit's like it's got to be like
quality, whatever it is, and wedecided we want to do a
hodgepodge of World Collectiveof podcasts on a Friday night,
have them come drink with us andbasically pay homage to the

(03:51):
industry or the culture and payit forward.
So we would have podcasts ascome on, play clips of their
podcast, you know, basicallygiving them some exposure.
We throw back shots, everybodyhave a good time and then we
basically do a morning aftervideo for those that missed it.
Blah, blah, blah, justrecapping it and bringing more

(04:12):
people the next week.
It was a good time.
All good things fall apart,though.
You know especially the waythat my mouth is built.
So that fell apart.
But what didn't fall apart wasour friendship, bob and I.
So I want to take you down amemory lane with me and I just
want to show you, like, thehumble beginnings of where this

(04:34):
woman started, so I'm going toplay a couple of clips so you
can get acquainted.
Have you healed?
No, so why not be soon?
And it wouldn't be me if Ididn't play the wrong clip, and
I definitely played the wrongclip.
That was not Bob at all.
But I'll back at it, though,and we keep this organic one.

(04:57):
Take hold.
I am not editing this at all.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Good afternoon guys.
For those who are tuning in forthe second time, Welcome back.
For those who are tuning in forthe first, welcome.
I want to start off byapologizing.
I know last week I had told youguys that I was going to be on
by 12 or one.
I wasn't feeling well lastnight so I kind of slept in late
today, so I apologize, Okay.

(05:27):
So I'm going to start off theepisode by thanking everyone who
took the time out to join thelittle giveaway that I had going
on.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
So she was giving away shit way in the beginning,
because this is season one,episode two seven rules of life.
Now, that title alone I waslike seven rules of life, you
know it piqued my interest andI'm like, wait a minute, let me
go back in and listen to acouple of episodes.
Blah, blah, blah.
This is after we had.
You know, we sealed the deal asfar as friends are concerned.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Then I bumped into this the thing that someone said
was picking off of your plate.
Definitely, definitely.
That's a big no.
No for me.
Whether I'm out on a date,whether I'm home, doesn't matter
where I'm at.
Do not put your hands in myfood, Don't, Because I will hit

(06:20):
you in your hand and then I willgive you my plate, especially
if you did touch something.
I'm not going to eat it.
I don't know where your handswere, Like, oh no, I'm a
germaphobe and that is not goingto rock.
We're on a date and you knowyou ordered your food, I ordered
mine and you would like to trywhat I'm having?
Then, you know, ask me.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
And that's when I went back, I revisited the
contract, the friendshipcontract that we had, and added
a couple of clauses, one ofwhich being you can never not be
my friend.
After this I heard that and Iwas like, yeah, you can not be
my friend because I'm like that,you know, except for being, you
know, I'm not really agermaphobe, but I'm an asshole.
So I guess they go hand in handand you know, don't put your

(07:06):
fork in my plate, unless, ofcourse, it's my wife and I don't
have any say that's I mean, Ihave say, but then who wants to
live with that grief?
Right?
So then, of course, I reachedout to her and I was like, we
need to collab, we need to dosomething.
So she was like, bet, let's dosomething Right, and this is one
of the.

(07:26):
Well, this is a clip from oneof the things that we did.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Right.
So now we're going to go, andI'm going to discuss four
reasons why it's important tosay no, you ready.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
All right.
So the first reason is sayingno means you value your time.
If you remind yourself of howvaluable your time is and how
waste of time you can't get back, you think twice before you
actually say yes to someone whenin reality you want to say no.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
And on that episode I learned quite a bit about
myself.
Which is why she and I havestayed so close is because
she'll start talking about shitthat I'm vehemently against
Right Tripping over my words andI would, you know, start an
introspective journey and figuresome things out about myself.

(08:25):
And when you have people likethat around you, you hold on to
them.
In fact, you hold on to themtighter.
She's such a sweet fucking soul.
She's evil too, but she's sucha sweet fucking soul.
It kind of balances me in thispodcasting world, because we've
been the war together againsteach other, privately and

(08:48):
outwardly, against, you know,creatively, against other
podcasts.
I mean, we put together one ofthe best.
You don't want to call it apodcast, this is because that
shit is corny.
It was definitely a body ofwork that was beautiful and done
in a very artsy way and superduper, creative course.
Say no more.
And yeah, it set our littlecircle on fire for months In

(09:13):
fact it still lingers to thisday which was a phenomenal piece
of effort, you know, from thebottom up and you know, and some
other things as well.
So Bob right now is on hiatusand I'm not the friend to, you
know.
Go to your house, bang on yourdoor, drag you around and tell
you that you have a gift and youhave to do this.
So I nudge, but I gently nudge,and we trying to get it to come

(09:37):
back out.
So this is us screaming fromour open windows like it's COVID
all over again.
Bob, come outside, Come outside, and I'm going to leave you
with this.
This is where we go with this.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
The quote of the day is this is what you don't do.
Don't let this world make youbitter.
Don't let the actions of otherpeople turn you cold in the
inside.
Certain things happen that hurtus.
People come that leave us and,most of all, there are moments
when you're bound to fall.
Don't let these things make youunkind.
It's okay to cry, it's okay tobe sad, but it's never okay to

(10:13):
do other people wrong justbecause you were done wrong.
We're human.
We break, we make mistakes, butdon't let the pain and sadness
ruin your lives.
Wake up in the morning and dowhat you think is right.
There are moments in your lifewhere you feel like giving up
and you can't take it anymore.
It's okay.
Breathe, inhale, exhale.
If you're weak, oh sorry, Iknow you're weak, but the things

(10:37):
that show your weak side arealso the same ones that make you
stronger in the long run.
It's all about taking whateverlife throws at you and learning

(10:59):
from it.
Don't let the actions of other.
