important person in my life.
Speaker 1 (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 day. It's so that's a special thing
because 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, uh, ways to prepare your skin
(00:57):
for summer, ways to look great without overcaking the pancake on,
you know, And those were the days that was a
long time ago. We started with each other.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
That was a long time ago, And I remember exactly.
I was walking in Montclair right past Yogi Bear'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.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Thank you. And you know what, and another thing we
love about Bobby but she loved tequila. We love that
about it. Oh no, what happened? Oh god, do you
want to talk about it? Did someone hurt you as
a child? What happened?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It just makes me feel better the next day. So okay, yeah,
I have a drink call. It's called Bobby Rocks. Rocks
it is. It's a health drink. Actually there is fresh
cucumber juice, a giant ice cube, fresh lemon juice, mint,
and a shot of vodka.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It sounds lovely. Actually, so I feel Detoks while you retalk.
I go healthier just hearing about it. So Bobby, of course,
Bobby Brown, the massive, massive, incredible company that everyone loved.
Of course you sold that and uh and then you decided, gosh,
(02:14):
you know what, I'm going to rethink this. There's more
there's more mileage left in me. And here you go
again with Jones Road. It was like four years ago, right.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Launch will be four years Yeah, I you know, I
stayed twenty two years as an employee at that company.
And we all know what it's like to work for
companies Elvis.
Speaker 1 (02:33):

but go ahead. I love the way.

The best corporate company in America.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Rich Bresler sins is love. So be nice. Okay, go ahead. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (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 noncompete. 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 going to do?
At sixty two years old.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
At the time, you had said to me, yeah, you know,
I'm probably not gonna open any stores.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
No, I said, I'm not opening any stores.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Now we were about to open our sixth ye zero.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, the newest one is in Brooklyn, Oh so I'm
sorry because that's where my kids live, so at least,
you know, I get to see them.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
But waiting. But I know that here in the city.
You're kicking off an event at your Greenwich Village store
Extraly June seventh, that's today, Today goes Today.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Why are you here? You should be working, story 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 1 (03:54):
Cool. Tell everyone exactly what Jones Road is about so
we can hook them on like everyone else who's hooked
it to it.
Speaker 2 (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. Right to look like poop poop, you could
say poop poop, I not to look like poop.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
We know what I know. 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, b you. The beauty is
(05:01):
already there. You don't need to depend on any product
to make you beautiful because the beauty is there. True
not true.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
You need moisturizers, you need maybe a little bit of
concealer something, you know what I'm saying. No, But it's
so Our campaign, which I'm really proud of, is called
I Am Me.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I Am I am Me. And if you think.
Speaker 2 (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 is 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 1 (05:44):
So I am Me. And you've always lived that mantra,
you really have. I mean, I always make fun of
She became the most successful person in the cosmetic business
by telling people not to wear cosmetics or not not
too much of it, right, just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (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 1 (06:06):
You look great without it. Don't even start that I
look I look fine, I look good, I look great,
you look great. We all look good. 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 2 (06:23):
It is 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 right. I color my hair, I get a little
bit of 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 4 (06:43):
And you can sleep on it. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I sleep on it, but I'm gonna take it off.
Speaker 4 (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.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
But then I just go with it. It's fine. I
don't know if it's really bad.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I just put in a ponytail and today I'll be
wearing a trucker hat.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
So it's fun. There you go, see I, there you go.
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
(07:22):
trust who we are, the rest of it will just
fall into place. We're good.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
And it's so funny, like we all like worry what
am I gonna wear to this party? What am I
gonna wear to the wedding? What am I gonna wear hair?
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, how
they made you feel 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,
(07:48):
I've had a killer week. I cannot even believe that
I'm 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.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
But okay, it's all right. I looked best on Tuesday
this week. Yeah, oh yeah, I look great.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Tuesdays is usually a good day because Mondays you're like
uh oh, and Tuesdays you're like okay.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Yeah, 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 is first
of all, drink water.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And drink water and put a little like salt in
your water because that helps it absorb in your system.
A little lemon is good for you. Just make sure
you drink the water. 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, are.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
You still dancing?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Oh yeah, I'm still dancing. I love it.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, you know. I love Lloyd. You guys have to
come sometime. I want live with Lloyd. He's amazing. 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, okay, I look really tired. Okay, I
was really tired. And I know I do it anyways.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
The fact is you're doing it, yeah, And that is
the truth. So those are and then water and move on, sunscreen.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
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.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Make you feel good.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I mean I went down from two drinks to one
because I felt better per hour when I'm not drinking
with you. 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
(09:50):
aunt who has the most common sense of anyone?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I know, what are the things that Aunt Alice teach you?
You can you just name some other things that Aunt Alice,
because we would all love an Aunt Alice right now.
Speaker 2 (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, goat. And
(10:21):
as soon as I did that, he was in a
good mood. I know he's probably listening. I'm sorry, Steven,
I'm talking Hi, Steve.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I was gonna ask you 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 2 (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 1 (10:40):
It's time.
Speaker 3 (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 1 (10:52):
I don't know. I think. Look, I'm not a straight guy,
but I would think that high heels are best if
worn in bed you are probably be on top of
them or in a photograph.
Speaker 2 (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. Gandhi.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
I only there.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
The bottoms are clean because I only wear them for
like a photo shoe.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I take them off the.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Second is done, and I put my Steve Madden rubber
shoes on.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I will be over.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Seven.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Stuff done, no problem, stuff, Danielle, Daniel Gandhi. When when
we were talking about Bobby coming in today, I watched
you both light up. Bobby Brown's here.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
She's like because she's part of the family.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Okay, why do you love her? I want to hear
more because I mean, I know what you're gonna say,
and I want everyone to hear why. We always has this.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Good energy, she always has good advice. She always is
like herself.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Am I turning into Antallis?
Speaker 4 (11:55):
You're Tallas. She's always true to herself, and she always
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 a home comfort feeling. I feel like
when she walks in.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Ye and Elvis, you didn't get to meet my daughter
in law?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Who's here? Who's pile highway? 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 1 (12:20):
Wait? I'm getting confused.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yes, her wedding was in half Indian and.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Half Jewish, so is the wedding. I know. That's why
when Jews. This is why I want to get married
to Gandhi. I want to have kids and I want
to have an Indian wedding because I've never been invited
to one.
Speaker 2 (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. Of course
you did that, 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 1 (12:58):
There you go, but you Gandhi, you sat up and
you said it erect and all smiley when you saw
Bobby Brown walk through that door. Why is that? I
love Bobby.
Speaker 5 (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 1 (13:29):
It's going.
Speaker 2 (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
(13:51):
doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
In my head.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I'm I think in my head, I'm thirty one. I
like that, okay, in my head, yeah, not a bad age. No,
I turned sixty year. I turned sixty in August. Oh
my god, I was at your fiftieth party. I didn't
get invited to the sixtieth.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Shut it down, all right, we got a lecture.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
You don't want turning it in August. It's not happening.
We are, We got this.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
We're not gonna. You can't fire these people, can You can't.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I don't. 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. I'm good. I'm good. It's a party.
That's good. That's all I want. 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
(14:48):
I am having more fun now than I've had in
my entire life. I could second that.
Speaker 2 (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. Okay, Like, I'm
not even kidding. 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.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
They kept looking at me. How do you do that?
I'm like, how do I not do that? Get out
of a beach chair?
Speaker 2 (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 1 (15:29):
You can do it. I could do it well.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I stand on the seat though, because I'm so short,
I get it down.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Something tells me you do your key goals a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I never did a kegel in my life.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I'm doing them right now.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Is this.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
I should have do keegels people? I did not. It's
never too late to start kegling. Well. Look, I try
to keep my regine nice and tight.
Speaker 2 (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 1 (15:58):
Is there anything else?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
She does some marketing, she's my head of brand, brand
and her husband is the head of.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Growth, chief of marketing and revenue.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yes, yes, yes, so I like I think I work
for myself.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I don't. No, the whole thing is the whole thing
is that let them do all the work. Hey, I
will tell you this. The texts are coming in, everyone
just going on and on about your your miracle bombs.
I mean, that's what they love. They love your miracle
ball does. Can I tell you something else?
Speaker 5 (16:33):
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 1 (16:41):
Yeah, highlighted it.
Speaker 5 (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 1 (16:49):
It was taken up now to self text me your
new address. I didn't I know. But but keep it
going to the older dress too, because it's word of
mouth exactly. Okay, So congratulations on everything. Of course. Jones
