Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wake that ass up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Breakfast Club. Morning everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
It's TJ n V Jess hilarious, Charlamaine the God. We
are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The building, my girls, Lex p Andre and the cod.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Again.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Great, really good. Happy to be.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
Here, Happy to see y'all. Yeah, you'll got the new
show Travel Queen. I'm happy to see y'all. Just evolving.
Poor Minds podcast is a hit. Poor Minds podcast Evolving.
Now y'all got the Travel Queen's TV show on BT.
It's a docu series. How'd that come about?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Also, the production company Cocoa Butter, they actually reached out
to us because they wanted us to audition for it
because they had us and like I think some other
maybe like two or three other friend groups in mind.
So we auditioned for it. They loved us, and then
we got it and we started filming maybe like a
month after. Yeah, and they really filmed the whole show
in two weeks.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Coke but.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
No, it's actually not it's a white guy.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Yeah, So what a travel Queen's about?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Where you're going with what y'all doing?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So we went to four different cities.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
We went to Cardahena, Mexico City, and Key West Charleston.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So it's basically.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
Really showing, like young black millennials gen zers, especially women,
how to travel, where to go eat, where to find
other black people when you travel, just how to be
safe and have a good time. I think right now,
and media I won't say right now, but I feel
like a lot of stuff that we're seeing in the
media with black women it's like who fighting, throwing drinks
in people's face. So I really think it's refreshing to
(01:44):
see two black women who are really friends just having good,
innocent fun. We're not talking about men and dating and
gender wars and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It's just good fun.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
What about the ladies that are watching it, like, well,
how am I going to be able to fly myself.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Out from there?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Actually? Bet?
Speaker 6 (02:10):
But I will say so. A lot of the stuff too,
is like it's budget friendly. I mean, we went to Charleston,
you know what I'm saying, But you can do it
around trip. We went to key West, so you can
drive to key West, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You don't have to necessarily fly.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
It's not like we're doing extremely expensive things, to be honest,
So I think if you budget you know, it's not
like we're doing luxurious things and going to the Maldi's
and you know, staying at the Four Seasons. It's very
budget friendly stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, and I think that was the point of the show.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
They wanted to make everybody feel like, Okay, I can
come here and I don't have to spend a lot
of money to have a good time.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
So for god was flying.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I still want to go to those destinations, Yeah, but
I probably would have some different.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Is one of them a little ducked up?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I remember it is? That's before I.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Wasn't through out by cocoa butter, but that that's.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Usually the older gentleman. Yes, it's a very like quiet town.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
You can definitely sneak off there with the old I
had never been the key Waste before.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That was my first time.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
It was you know, water blue, The water was blue.
That's a fact took you.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Be confused.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
So I just told them that when the older guys
performed filatio, they don't really know what the congo lings
kind of ling when when they're doing that, they say
leal because they don't have teef anymore. You know, they're
trying to figure out where it is, especially the ones
with glasses, you know when they slip down on the
(03:49):
nose and they say, letally they be doing as a
glass like that, because a lot of it's gonna get.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
A little nobody. Yeah, the Four Cities, y'all went to. Which
one did you like the best? And why?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Mexico CD because it was just so nice.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I feel like, it's so many black expats that are
moving there from the United States, so it's a lot
of black people out there. We went to a R
and B night while we were out there. We went
to a black vegan restaurant. It's just it reminded me
a lot of the United States, but just in Mexico C.
I feel like out of everywhere that we weed, that
was my favorite play.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I keep saying that Charleston surprised me too, like that
I've never been to Charleston, and I have a really
close friend of mine that lives out there and he's
been trying to get me to come out there forever.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
And I was like, what is in Charleston, Like, isn't
that a dance? Like I was like, I'm not going.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
That's but I was so surprised, like people be taking
the nice boats out.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
The food is good.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
I had a ball in Charleston, like I'm actually playing
in a trip to go back, like beautiful.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Yeah, Mexico City is nice. Yeah, it's a lot of
people moving there. Yet my husband's family is from there.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Really that's why period.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Okay, y'all travel already yeah yeah, and we already traveled
together a lot anyway, so we felt like that's why
it was the perfect show for it.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Y'all get tired of each other at all, Like, you
know what, you go your way, I'll go walk my way.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Absolutely. Wow, we're neighbors. We literally live in Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I live in a building right here, and her building
is right here and the unit that I used to
live in. She could see my apartment from the mood,
so she would be like waving in me from the pool.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
No, she I followed her because I started building a
building ourself in the move, right next door to my
sweetie pool.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I love that y'all get tired, sugar.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
You know what's crazy. I think we were younger and
the show first started. We didn't have any direction. We
didn't know what we wanted to do. We're going through
growing pains. But now it's like she's thirty four, I'm
thirty five.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
We've grown women. Yeah, we don't have anything to fight about.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
And honestly, I think it's so crazy when people have
podcasts and they make so much money and they be arguing.
You know what, we have so much fun, like to
be able to travel the world with your best friend
and have a business.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
It's great, it's fun. How was it when y'all get
in relationships?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Though?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Ooh?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I feel like we do a really good job of
still keeping the balance of our friendship and still being
in a relationship, Like we always find the time to
hang with each other, to go to dinner, to talk
on the phone.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
As crazy as it is because the podcast we do
talk about dating a lot, we are really not male
centered women and a lot of people think that because
we talk about dating so much on the show, but
we really not.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Like we like to be. Like last year we went
to Turks for her birthday.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
We wasn't inviting them. We went to Miami one year
for my birthday. Like, we just go on trips by ourself.
We're not like, oh, our boyfriends have to come, or
if we go to dinner, it's not like, oh, bring
your man, it's none of that, none.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Of the yah.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Y'all still bowed up. You know, you know you.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Like dance.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You're in a rocky place. We gonna see what happens.
It's complicated, yeah, which is crazy, right because I feel
like it happened simultaneously, like at the same time for
both of us. We started kind of going through a
transition and a break up at the same time.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
But it's not like in the bad space.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, it's not like we're cool. It's cool. We're figuring
it out type stuck each other up. Like girl, leave him,
I'm gonnaleave him.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
If you leave him, or if you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I'm saying, you know what's crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
No, I'm really like that friend where when she calls
me and she talks to me about what's going on
in her relationship and stuff, I'm just always like, okay, girl,
well you know, do what you want to do. I
try to be supporting of what she want to do,
as long as it's not a fically violent situation or
something that you need to lead the abusive or anything
like that. I try to be supportive of my friends.
It's like when you love somebody you want to.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Stay with your man. It's hard all here, y'all.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
All men, y'all all married, y'all got y'all.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
No, I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
He was just in love last year.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I still ever loved. I'm very much in love.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Like I said, it's just a situation. We're figuring it out.
I don't you know, but I think we're both so
focused on our careers right now. And I know it
sounds so cliche, but I'm just a person. He's an
amazing guy. If we're meant to be together, we're gonna
be together. So I'm just not putting pressure on it,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
So it's cool. We're gonna figure it out.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
You know what have y'all learned about y'allselves from doing
the podcast? The podcast first one?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
No longer than that.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
We started doing Poor Minds when I was like twenty seven,
so yeah, seven years yeah, seven years now.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Okay, soe y'all at that. See, people don't realize this
is at the point, this is the time when podcasts
really start to take off. Round your seven figure everybody
think it's just instant success.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, round your.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Seven fifth years. So what have y'all learned about yourselves.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
For me, I would say transparency and vulnerability is healing.
When I first started doing the show, I think that
I always have kind of had more of a closed
off personality. I've always been a little bit more private
than like She's always been like an open book on
the show. And I never used to want to talk
about things that I was going through because I felt
like it was a sign of weakness.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And I've just.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Always had this thing where I don't want people to
look at me like, you know, I'm weak or whatever.
So I think that now I'm in a space where
I enjoy telling my story. I enjoy telling people the
things that I'm going through because I feel like it
can help other people get through this through similar things
or you know. Just being transparent to me is just
very important at this point in my life because I
(10:02):
don't know, I just I don't want to get emotional.
I don't want to get emotional a little bit. But like,
I lost my dad and it was something that was
thank you, it was something that was really really hard
for me to talk about on the show. But I
wish that back then I had the same mindset because
I feel like I was dealing with so much by myself,
and when I started talking about it on the show,
(10:22):
it was just so many people in such an outpouring
of love, people saying I've been through the same thing.
I can understand where you're coming from. So that's what
I've learned over the years about myself. I think that
I really enjoy now telling people what I'm going through
instead of just feeling like I have to go through
everything by myself.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
I think with me, I'm such like a loud personality,
and I think a lot of times I would try
to hide that from people, and I just embrace who
I am, Like I'm not the sexy girl that's doing
all this, Like I'm a tomboy. I like to be loud,
have fun. So I really got confidence about myself because
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
This is who I am. I think for when I
first started, like being on social media, I was like
doing the bikini pigs and posing body pull I'm like, girl,
this is not you at all.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
So I've really been able to embrace myself and be like,
you know what you'd allow homegirl, and that's okay, Like
you don't have to fit into this box of what
you think that a woman is supposed to because people
always love to say because I know you hear.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
This a lot.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
They'd be like, oh, funny women aren't pretty or you
have to either you funny or you're pretty.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
You can't be both, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
So I feel like I used to try to lean
into being the pretty girl, and then I would try
to lean.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
To be the funny girl. And I'm like, you know what,
I don't have to be in anybody's box. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
So you've always been sexy, you just don't give off
sex like you said, like, you're just not prissy, You're
just yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Well, we talked about this on the show.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
There's a difference between like having sex appeal and like
being attractive.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Like Drea just is like sexy, you know what I'm saying.
She's walking around she's like.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Hey, oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Like I said, I just think, like being said it
really much.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Sex appeal is something that's just yeah inside, yes, and.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
I just think like that's not a part of my personality.
But that's okay. It's not I'm not saying I'm unattractive.
I'm a batty you feel me, you know what I'm saying.
So I just think that I've been more comfortable, like
being in my skin and who I am.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
For sure, growing out loud is hard, yes, you know,
and that's what you'll been doing the last seven years
on that podcast.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Liter like going through everything like she said we she
lost her dad, I lost my mom, going through breakups
and then it's like, you know, we'd be like, oh,
we in love and then the next month were talking
about a different doing and every like oh my dad doing.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
The same thing.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
About you, you know, and people not in your business.
So I think, yeah, going through relationships and growing pains.
And I've always been honest about my financial status too,
because I always said when I'm was Atlanta, i had
three dollars because I did like I wasn't lying. So
I think it's important to be transparent, especially as a
(13:07):
black woman in this industry. I feel like we always
try to hide what we're making because I'm like, oh,
this company signed up for your ass, how much they
paying you? Because it's how much they paying us, Let's
make sure that they not you know what I'm saying.
So I think that with the platform that we have,
it's like, yeah, we've grown in front of the camera,
but like she said, being open and vulnerable has helped
us one thousand percent.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Sure. So what have y'all learned about y'allself from doing
the TV show?
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Mm? Honestly, I feel like everybody always asked that because
they're like, oh my gosh, how was it? It was
two weeks, But I'm like, I don't know nothing. I
guess to be honest.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Well, I mean because it's crazy because I thought it
was gonna feel so different, but it felt so natural,
Like I feel like we made for TV because it
felt so natural. It kind of felt like and maybe
because we did it together and we're best friends and
we already have that chemistry and the camaraderie and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It just felt thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
So it just felt like I'm doing this show with
my homegirl, and the cameras just happened.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
To be here.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
How many bags did y'all pack?
Speaker 6 (14:09):
We too, right, No, we had that when we had
one big suitcase and like our totes and stuff and
then a carry on.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
So what we did though, is though we had the
bags from Amazon that you vacuum, So what we did
is we had each bag for each city, so I
had like my three outfits for Columbia and my vacuum.
Back then, I didn't have to open that bag no more.
Then when we went to Charleton, I had my bag
for Chauton, So it wasn't that bad. But I will
say shout out to the producers at BT, James Knox
(14:40):
and the Cocoa Butter family, because they really let us
be ourselves. Like they were literally like press record, y'all,
just do y'all. And that's another thing I was worried about.
I was like, how are they going to edit this
and make us look But it's definitely given lex p
Andre and the call.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
You know what's really fun time.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
So that was my second time going to Columbia, my
first time going to card Diana because.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
The first Columbia country.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
You said that to me, I was in Columbia. You
are sure white. I am weak, So yeah, but I
mean funny enough.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I think that's what people think of though when you
think of Columbia, you think of the cartel and stuff,
because like I said, I went to Medayane a few
years ago to get my teeth done and I was
scared to leave from the area where my hotel was and.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Where my doctor crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I mean, I was just.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Nervous to travel around because that's what you hear about Columbia.
So when we went to Cardina, I had a really
really good time. And then especially with us going to Polink,
which is the first free black city in the Americas,
it was just so you know that it's Afro Latinos
in a lot of these countries. But when I say,
when we were in Polenk, we felt like we were
somewhere in Ghana and Nigeria, like these people look like
(15:55):
our cousins, our family members. It was just amazing being
there and being submerged in the culture.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Do you go away to Columbia to get your teeth
done because.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
It was shaper.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I think here was like thirty thousand. You know, I'm
getting a little miney.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
But to say get him done here, they're just all
the same size, like the extra largest, Like nobody for
the mediums or.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Somebody they got the front. They get front teeth for
the whole world.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Yeah, when they get the top done and don't get
the bottom of the and it's like come on, maybe
gets a texture, Like I think that's why my teeth
looks so natural because he made like the texture.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
And how the men treat you when they see y'all
from outside of which we are usually outside of Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Because Atlanta, you know, they see beautiful women. Sometimes they
might not see that in Colombia, like.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Like American DJ he said, Columbia got ugly women.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
If you said, you know, like usually when you go
out the country and they see American women, they treat
American women differently because they don't usually see American women
like that.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Yeah, honestly, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like whenever
we go anywhere, I really can't tell the difference because
I feel like everywhere we go we kind of draw attention.
I know that sounds bad, but it's like everywhere we
go we're used to people like we're like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
God, I know y'all from the pod saying hey.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
And then when we were in Colombia, it's a little
different because we had cameras around us, so of course
people are like looking and saying stuff and being So
it's kind of hard to tell the difference between, you know, people,
how they treat us outside of Atlanta versus anywhere, because
I feel like everywhere we go. Now people kind of
recognize us, so it's not really like we're getting treated
differently per.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Se, if that makes sense.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
When you said they you were scared of how they
were gonna edit y'all and make y'all look. Were y'all
allowed to be in the room during that enterprocess? So
you just like the y'all trusted them, and you just
like the way they ended up editing the episode. Yeah,
we didn't know anything, girl, We've seen everything. When everybody
else seen, you didn't know how they were were still
watching it.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
We was on the plane last night watching the episode
the first time.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
So are y'all nervous for every episode that?
Speaker 7 (18:03):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well, I'm not nervous now.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
I was nervous of how my body was gonna look
because I just lost thirty pounds okay, thank you, Okay,
So I when we shot, I weighed like two o five.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So I was so nervous. I kept saying, oh my gosh,
I hope cause I have like a little belly on me.
So whenever I gain weight.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Like people always tend to think I'm pregnant.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
They'd be like, let's pregnant. I'm like, oh my god,
can I just have a little shot at tequila. Yeah,
I had a little you know, like so I was
really more so nervous about my body after I saw
the first episode. But I was like, okay, body, tea.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Combia, pure coke.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
He said, what. Oh No, Honestly, I used to be
a girl. I used to do everything under the sun.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
You know.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
The first time I went to Columbia for my bbah,
so y'all talking about y'all know Columbia for the coke.
I know Colombia for them good doctors. But I just
didn't natural this time. I was doing a lot of cardio,
eating healthy. You know, I feel like and I feel
better now. I think I'm getting older and I'm just
all the I'm not dissing people who do take other routes,
but I just had to do it for.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
It wasn't the Olympics. I don't like needles. I couldn't
do that to myself. But no, no, ospic.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
I do want to say to you talk about walking
in the room. There's something different about Houston women. Houston
women have a presence about them that stands out a
lot more than a lot of other women. I think
it's the side, really, the.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Side usually taller tall. Not originally from Houston. I'm from Orange, Texas. Yes, yes,
I agree with that. I think we do have a
certain or we kind of command the room. You know,
we walk in. We're very friendly.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
So it's especially when we walk in some rooms with
people like from New York, they're not used to people speaking.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
We like hospitality. It's very.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
As some hours, Yeah, it's like two hours.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Yeah. What's something about your friendship that y'all think the
TV show made is stronger? If anything, I.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Think that we realized how strong we are together and
how many I feel like, how many doors that we're opening, even.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Though I think and I know people gonna be like,
what doors you open?
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Honestly, podcasting, especially in the South, it's not a lot
of podcasts in the South that are really right. And
the fact that there has been podcasters out there that
have gotten TV shows, but it's mostly TV shows that
are based on their podcast.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
The fact that Travel Queens has.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Nothing to do with poor minds, and we're showing our talents,
like we have communication degrees, like we went to school
for this. So I think a lot of times people
don't take influencers or people who started on the Internet.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Seriously, you started on the internet as well.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
So a lot of times we get so much backlash
because they're like, uh, y'all just girls who grabbed a
mic and start a YouTube channel. But I think being
on this show it shows like, no, we we got
some tricks up our sleeve, you know what I'm saying.
So I think that it made our friendship stronger because
I'm like, bro, look at what we have done, you
know what I'm saying. Even from the first time when
we came on Breakfast Club, I was like, oh my gosh,
(21:06):
like this is huge, you know what I'm saying. So
I think this is just like we realized how strong
we are together and how much more that we have
to do.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
And don't speak pass the fact y'all got communications degree.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
I think people always forget that because we never highlighted
that much.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
But graduated from Texas Southern and I graduated from Stephen F. Austin.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
What did y'all want to do? Y'all? In college? I
just wanted to be like on TV news anchors or you.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Know, I didn't really know what I wanted to do.
To be honest, I knew I wanted to do something
in media. And then when I graduated, I had a
little fake internship at ninety seven nine buck shout out
to Kiyati's still Kyati still on the radio in Houston
right now, and I had a little fake internship with him.
I shadowed him for maybe like two months, and then
I realized I didn't really like radio. So then I
(21:52):
didn't know what I wanted to do, and so I
moved to Atlanta. Of course, y'all know, Lex ended up
moving out here. One of her friends who was also
already into podcast and was like, y'all need to turn
y'all YouTube channel into a podcast. And I feel like
that's when I found my niche. I was like, okay,
I'm supposed to be podcasting, but prior to that, I
didn't know.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
I thought I was gonna do like hard news. I
was like, I'm finna be out roke up. I'm gonna
be reporting everything.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's gonna great. I'm gonna do Everything's gonna be like,
y'all don't understand what I'm gonna be America bitch. I
was trying to do everything.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
But like, I took an internship at my uh my
school radio station, and we were just reporting on hard
news every morning. It was so sad, and I was like,
I cannot do this, Like we're having to interview people
who just lost their house and a fire like all
this stuff. And I was like, Okay, maybe I need
to redirect. And so I've always been into entertainment news,
Like I grew up, you know, watching news. You know
(22:55):
what I'm saying. The kids was watching Coco, Mela and Rugrass.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I was watching news.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
So I was like, okay, let me do something in
the entertainment world like that might be, you know, more
of my speed. So I knew I want to do
something on TV and media, but I just wasn't sure.
So podcasting kind of made it easy because I was
applying for all the jobs in Houston and I just
couldn't get my foot in the door.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
So I was like, well, let me just create our
own lane and do our thing.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
How did 'all connect with eighty five South?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It was because of Carlos.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
So Carlos always followed us on Twitter and we were
cool with him on Twitter, and I think I shot
my shot and I was just like, okay, you calum
record poor minds with us, And at this time, we
weren't even recording in the studio yet. We were still
recording in the living room at my house, and he
pulled up on us, sat on the floor in my
living room and recorded.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Poor Minds with us.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
And then I think ever since then he was just
kind of watching us, and then he saw how the
show kept growing and elevating, and then a few years
later he ended up asking us to come on eighty
five South.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
We went on eighty five South.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
I think that episode did a million views in like
five days or something. So we ended up the episode
did like a million views in five days, and then
he introduced us to Chad and he was like, I
think you know we want to sign y'all.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
I do have a question, uh some advice. I have
a single friend. Uh, she has a closet full of wigs, curly.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Terrible wigs.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Oh you know who the friend is.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Sadly, she has a.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Bunch of wigs curly, one day is straight, different colors.
She's she's funny, she's smart, she switches up her wigs
like like a Netflix series.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
But when it comes to dating, she doesn't seem like
she can find the right guy. She doesn't know if
guys get intimidated.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Or if they just confused, how would you suggest she
meets somebody to secure a relationship because time is running out?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
And saw her wigs, But why did you include the.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Stuff about the wigs? You think the we might be
the reason why she can't find the men.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
I mean, think about it, just thinks that. I'm sure
that y'all felt like y'all had to change about yourselves
a little bit and it probably made them, you know,
a little stronger for the fish.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Okay, well, you know what kind of men are she
is she trying to date? Because you know they say
they like bad weed, the white.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
They love a crunching maybe a crunches steal. I could
not keep the Bretts off of me.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
They do. But I will say that we were actually
just having this conversation. We was literally just talking about this.
They don't they have that same hardwig soft life.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Maybe should a different pool.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
She's in the wrong pool. It might be in the
wrong pool one.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
But I will say we were just telling our producer this,
and I was saying, like, when you get your look
together and you feel confident in yourself, it doesn't even matter,
Like whatever makes you feel good, You're gonna attract the
right person.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I enjoy being polished. I used to have a stiff
wig or two. You still got one of them? She does,
she does, but.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I called her. I said, well, she wins her first EM.
I'm gonna put it on eBay and don't got the
collectors item and it still has the screensheet on it
and everything.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It's in the pony tail.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Who do you think lies? More women with bad wigs
are men with podcasts.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Me and with with podcasts hands down, Oh my god.
The girl with a stiff wig A bad week? You
living in your truth? Yeah, trip for the two weeks
(26:54):
that we we didn't.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Me and Lex honestly really get along most of the time.
We never really argue against if we do, because I
feel like we can. We're at a point now in
our relationship where we can since when the other person
low key's tired to me, like, but it be.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Over silly stuff like dram be running late sometimes and
like she'll getting the ouber and I to be on
my phone, like you don't even speak up, girl, you
are late bring your as So it'd be silly stuff
like that, but we just don't.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It don't be nothing like that. Serious. Like I said,
life is good. What do we have to be mad
about it?
Speaker 5 (27:27):
If it's great to go back to this wak ship
for one, I got won't have the phone at some point,
But I don't believe that. I've never heard the white
man like.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
And you said hard Yeah, who told you this?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I lived it, lived it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I'm serious.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
If you go look on TikTok right now and type
Hardwig soft life, you're gonna see nothing but interracial couples.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
So why didn't you stick with the white man?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Because I wanted a man. I wanted a hard life,
but a hard man like I want to struggle. She
wanted to struggle with the.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Raw Doctor Lamar influenced you the dump that white man.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
You know what people hate when I say this, I
love doctor little Changing. It's no funny. First of all,
exciting me.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
They're talking about me, talking about I got a bad
we can't find a man talking about it.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
It's so nice to meet other He looks beautiful, boy,
Hardwig will Halloween, What what did you talking about?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Talking about your heart?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Talking about her in that sac First of all, the
sad thing that normally comes from over here, but you
and your sad song all over there spinning around looking
at me.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Nobody talking about.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Come in here. Let's you know, so it's close to my.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Weal is.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Nice and I love the show.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I think that y'all looks so pretty on the show.
I've watched all three episodes. Why you kept turning around
to me? We got cameras all in the studio. We're
gonna run the tady. Oh my god, that stiff Next.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Talk my heart. We din't talking about that hard die
that's dried over there. All right, I'll talk to y'all ladies. Okay, Yeah,
I think your wig is beautiful to I like it.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I love the ball.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
So many listen, how do you'll protect y'all mental health?
While still?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
How do y'all protection.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
My heart?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Other people?
Speaker 6 (29:56):
We keep.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
My heart wigs to protect me no ct over here?
I was protecting.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Transparent and on TV. How do y'all protect y'all at that?
Speaker 4 (30:11):
I praize I have a great relationship with God. I
p realized. I also go to therapy. I think it's
so important to go to therapy, and I don't know
why in the black community so many people don't want
to try it out, are afraid to try it out.
Like it has completely changed my life, especially when I
was grieving when I lost my dad. That's when I
started therapy and I've been going ever since. It's been
(30:31):
about five years now.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah, it's the same.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
I go to therapy. I recently started going. I go
to church every Sunday. I do not play. I've worked
on my relationship with God, and honestly, I really have
a tight close knit circle, like my friends and my family,
like me and my sister are extremely close, and I
feel like that's important. Like when I have my bad
days and I'm just like, my best friend is here
(30:54):
with me, killer I'm like, you need to come to Atlanta,
like I'm not doing too well, and she will literally
hop on a plane and come see me. And you know,
because we all have our moments, even with Drave me
and my neighbor, I'm like, I had a breakdown last
week and I called her.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I was like, bro, I'm finna lose my mind.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
So I think it's very important to have people around
you that you know, when I'm down, they can pick
me up and vice versa.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
So you had a grief counselor or you're just just
a therapist. But I mean she did specialize in grief,
so yeah, and that helped. It helps me a lot
for sure, because I mean, I will talk to my
mom about it, but it was hard talking to my
mom about it because she was also grieving as well.
And it was just nice to have somebody who was unbiased,
(31:36):
who I could let all my feelings out and let
them know how I was feeling. Because at the time,
you know, Lex hadn't lost her mom yet, so I
didn't have any friends that had lost the parents, So
it wasn't anybody that I could talk to that I
felt like could relate to what I was going through.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Man. Yeah, condolences man. And when you are going through
those breakdowns, like you said, you hit dred, what you
pull over the bottle or something?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Some smoke?
Speaker 5 (31:57):
What you'all do?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I always got about it. Not some smoke and I
think coke either about to go out to make yourself
feel better.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
No, But honestly, you know what, I don't even think
we do that anymore. We used to, but now we
really just talk like we drink through our problems.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
But we really don't do that anymore. We really just
talk it out and you know, just give each other
time and just be there for each other, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Yeah, Yeah, And one thing I've learned is just like
I've learned so much patience. I have so much peace
in that because it doesn't rain forever. So every time
I'm going through something, I'm just like, just let it pass,
and it always always passes.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
So I think we we we we still get turned
bottle the wine though.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah we don't drink now, but we don't use it
as a crutch anymo.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Yeah, I was how do y'all balance like turning up
for the show because you still got to perform, right
because it's still a TV show, but then being present
for the moments that you're experiencing, like those cultural mom
You know what's crazy.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
We didn't really drink that much the whole time that
we were filming. Like, we had a few scenes, like
we had a mexcal scene, so of course we were
drinking during that scene.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
I think the Drag show.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yeah, we were drinking a little bit, and then we
had some mohitos, But honestly, those were the only three
times throughout the whole time we were filming that we
were drinking because we really wanted to stay present in
the moment because one thing about this we're gonna take
it to the moon, We're gonna take it too far.
So it's missed to just not have no drinks.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Yeah, And it's crazy because the mescal scene that we
did that showed in Mexico City last night. That was
actually the last scene that we did for the entire show,
and that was probably the most like lit that we
got because we were drinking so much. But I think
it's very different from Poor Minds. But honestly, we stopped
drinking a.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Lot on Poor Minds.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Yeah, because it was like some cringy episodes and we
just like, oh my god, it was the Houston Live showed.
It was so embarrassing because we recorded the show and
then we went back and watched it when we got
back to and it was just so cringey. We was
on stage like yeah, Lex, let's turn up, and we
(34:06):
bringing our friends on stage and just drunk, taking shots, twerking.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
It was.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
It was a miss one of my favorite shows. Y'all
came out and y'all was just dancing.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
And it was in the zone that that was Houston.
But that was like our second Huston show. We have
the freaking outfits on.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Was a good show. We have put ourselves on a
drink minimum.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
We have a two shot minimum before we go on stage,
and then we'll have like a drink on stage, but
we have one drink go on stage and that's it.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Once we're done with that drink, you're done. Yeah, that
first Houston show, we drunk that whole bottle.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah, because we was turning.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I'm always not always a little nervous, always trying to
turn up.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I didn't realize I was getting so drunk.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
With the long term vision for the show, more seasons, yea,
it's we're hoping it's gonna get picked up for a
second season. I think we should probably know that within
like the next two weeks or so. So obviously we
wanted to get picked up. And as far as Poor Minds,
we want Poor Minds to get picked up as a
TV show as well. Yeah, that's on our bucket leads.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
I think like with Travel Queens, I definitely wanted to
be a lot more seasons. I feel like we should
do like a whole season, like in Africa, a whole
season in Europe. So that's what we're holding. That'll that
it'll grow to. And you know, same thing with Poor Minds.
I can see Poor Minds living on like, you know,
maybe like a streaming app or something that you know,
outside of YouTube. I think we're ready to make that
transition with Poor Minds as well. And yeah, yeah, for sure,
(35:39):
and more hosting opportunities for the both of us and individually.
She still has her cosmetics line that's doing really well,
so her just growing in the beauty industry.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I have started my YouTube channel, love.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
Lexp, so I'm just doing like hot topics show reviews
because that's the lane I want to get into more
hosting as well.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
So yeah, we just have so much stuff to do.
Speaker 6 (35:59):
And I feel like now that we've that step into TV,
it's like, you know, people can actually see what we
can do now, you know.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
I was already on the Shop Music Beauty Collection dot com.
Make sure you get your lip glosses, Matt Liquial lipsticks,
lip liners. I also just branched into other cosmetics products,
so now I have some jelly blushes, I have Mescira
and eyeliner.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
US Beauty Collection dot com.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
Again.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Great, really good. Happy to be.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
Here, Happy to see y'all. Yeah, you'll got the new
show Travel Queen. I'm happy to see y'all. Just evolving.
Poor Minds podcast is a hit. Poor Minds podcast Evolving.
Now y'all got the Travel Queen's TV show on BT.
It's a docu series. How'd that come about?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Also, the production company Cocoa Butter, they actually reached out
to us because they wanted us to audition for it
because they had us and like I think some other
maybe like two or three other friend groups in mind.
So we auditioned for it. They loved us, and then
we got it and we started filming maybe like a
month after. Yeah, and they really filmed the whole show
in two weeks.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
Coke but.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
No, it's actually not it's a white guy.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Yeah, So what a travel Queen's about?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Where you're going with what y'all doing?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
So we went to four different cities.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
We went to Cardahena, Mexico City, and Key West Charleston.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So it's basically.
Speaker 6 (01:23):
Really showing, like young black millennials gen zers, especially women,
how to travel, where to go eat, where to find
other black people when you travel, just how to be
safe and have a good time. I think right now,
and media I won't say right now, but I feel
like a lot of stuff that we're seeing in the
media with black women it's like who fighting, throwing drinks
in people's face. So I really think it's refreshing to
(01:44):
see two black women who are really friends just having good,
innocent fun. We're not talking about men and dating and
gender wars and all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
It's just good fun.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
What about the ladies that are watching it, like, well,
how am I going to be able to fly myself.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Out from there?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Actually? Bet?
Speaker 6 (02:10):
But I will say so. A lot of the stuff too,
is like it's budget friendly. I mean, we went to Charleston,
you know what I'm saying, But you can do it
around trip. We went to key West, so you can
drive to key West, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
You don't have to necessarily fly.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
It's not like we're doing extremely expensive things, to be honest,
So I think if you budget you know, it's not
like we're doing luxurious things and going to the Maldi's
and you know, staying at the Four Seasons. It's very
budget friendly stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, and I think that was the point of the show.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
They wanted to make everybody feel like, Okay, I can
come here and I don't have to spend a lot
of money to have a good time.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
So for god was flying.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I still want to go to those destinations, Yeah, but
I probably would have some different.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Is one of them a little ducked up?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I remember it is? That's before I.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Wasn't through out by cocoa butter, but that that's.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Usually the older gentleman. Yes, it's a very like quiet town.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
You can definitely sneak off there with the old I
had never been the key Waste before.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
That was my first time.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
It was you know, water blue, The water was blue.
That's a fact took you.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Be confused.
Speaker 7 (03:28):
So I just told them that when the older guys
performed filatio, they don't really know what the congo lings
kind of ling when when they're doing that, they say
leal because they don't have teef anymore. You know, they're
trying to figure out where it is, especially the ones
with glasses, you know when they slip down on the
(03:49):
nose and they say, letally they be doing as a
glass like that, because a lot of it's gonna get.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
A little nobody. Yeah, the Four Cities, y'all went to. Which
one did you like the best? And why?
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Mexico CD because it was just so nice.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I feel like, it's so many black expats that are
moving there from the United States, so it's a lot
of black people out there. We went to a R
and B night while we were out there. We went
to a black vegan restaurant. It's just it reminded me
a lot of the United States, but just in Mexico C.
I feel like out of everywhere that we weed, that
was my favorite play.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
I keep saying that Charleston surprised me too, like that
I've never been to Charleston, and I have a really
close friend of mine that lives out there and he's
been trying to get me to come out there forever.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
And I was like, what is in Charleston, Like, isn't
that a dance? Like I was like, I'm not going.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
That's but I was so surprised, like people be taking
the nice boats out.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
The food is good.
Speaker 6 (04:53):
I had a ball in Charleston, like I'm actually playing
in a trip to go back, like beautiful.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
Yeah, Mexico City is nice. Yeah, it's a lot of
people moving there. Yet my husband's family is from there.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Really that's why period.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Okay, y'all travel already yeah yeah, and we already traveled
together a lot anyway, so we felt like that's why
it was the perfect show for it.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Y'all get tired of each other at all, Like, you
know what, you go your way, I'll go walk my way.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Absolutely. Wow, we're neighbors. We literally live in Atlanta.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I live in a building right here, and her building
is right here and the unit that I used to
live in. She could see my apartment from the mood,
so she would be like waving in me from the pool.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
No, she I followed her because I started building a
building ourself in the move, right next door to my
sweetie pool.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I love that y'all get tired, sugar.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
You know what's crazy. I think we were younger and
the show first started. We didn't have any direction. We
didn't know what we wanted to do. We're going through
growing pains. But now it's like she's thirty four, I'm
thirty five.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
We've grown women. Yeah, we don't have anything to fight about.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
And honestly, I think it's so crazy when people have
podcasts and they make so much money and they be arguing.
You know what, we have so much fun, like to
be able to travel the world with your best friend
and have a business.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
It's great, it's fun. How was it when y'all get
in relationships?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
Though?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Ooh?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
I feel like we do a really good job of
still keeping the balance of our friendship and still being
in a relationship, Like we always find the time to
hang with each other, to go to dinner, to talk
on the phone.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
As crazy as it is because the podcast we do
talk about dating a lot, we are really not male
centered women and a lot of people think that because
we talk about dating so much on the show, but
we really not.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Like we like to be. Like last year we went
to Turks for her birthday.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
We wasn't inviting them. We went to Miami one year
for my birthday. Like, we just go on trips by ourself.
We're not like, oh, our boyfriends have to come, or
if we go to dinner, it's not like, oh, bring
your man, it's none of that, none.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Of the yah.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Y'all still bowed up. You know, you know you.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Like dance.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You're in a rocky place. We gonna see what happens.
It's complicated, yeah, which is crazy, right because I feel
like it happened simultaneously, like at the same time for
both of us. We started kind of going through a
transition and a break up at the same time.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
But it's not like in the bad space.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, it's not like we're cool. It's cool. We're figuring
it out type stuck each other up. Like girl, leave him,
I'm gonnaleave him.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
If you leave him, or if you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I'm saying, you know what's crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
No, I'm really like that friend where when she calls
me and she talks to me about what's going on
in her relationship and stuff, I'm just always like, okay, girl,
well you know, do what you want to do. I
try to be supporting of what she want to do,
as long as it's not a fically violent situation or
something that you need to lead the abusive or anything
like that. I try to be supportive of my friends.
It's like when you love somebody you want to.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Stay with your man. It's hard all here, y'all.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
All men, y'all all married, y'all got y'all.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
No, I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
He was just in love last year.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
I still ever loved. I'm very much in love.
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Like I said, it's just a situation. We're figuring it out.
I don't you know, but I think we're both so
focused on our careers right now. And I know it
sounds so cliche, but I'm just a person. He's an
amazing guy. If we're meant to be together, we're gonna
be together. So I'm just not putting pressure on it,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
So it's cool. We're gonna figure it out.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
You know what have y'all learned about y'allselves from doing
the podcast? The podcast first one?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
No longer than that.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
We started doing Poor Minds when I was like twenty seven,
so yeah, seven years yeah, seven years now.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
Okay, soe y'all at that. See, people don't realize this
is at the point, this is the time when podcasts
really start to take off. Round your seven figure everybody
think it's just instant success.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, round your.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Seven fifth years. So what have y'all learned about yourselves.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
For me, I would say transparency and vulnerability is healing.
When I first started doing the show, I think that
I always have kind of had more of a closed
off personality. I've always been a little bit more private
than like She's always been like an open book on
the show. And I never used to want to talk
about things that I was going through because I felt
like it was a sign of weakness.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And I've just.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Always had this thing where I don't want people to
look at me like, you know, I'm weak or whatever.
So I think that now I'm in a space where
I enjoy telling my story. I enjoy telling people the
things that I'm going through because I feel like it
can help other people get through this through similar things
or you know. Just being transparent to me is just
very important at this point in my life because I
(10:02):
don't know, I just I don't want to get emotional.
I don't want to get emotional a little bit. But like,
I lost my dad and it was something that was
thank you, it was something that was really really hard
for me to talk about on the show. But I
wish that back then I had the same mindset because
I feel like I was dealing with so much by myself,
and when I started talking about it on the show,
(10:22):
it was just so many people in such an outpouring
of love, people saying I've been through the same thing.
I can understand where you're coming from. So that's what
I've learned over the years about myself. I think that
I really enjoy now telling people what I'm going through
instead of just feeling like I have to go through
everything by myself.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
I think with me, I'm such like a loud personality,
and I think a lot of times I would try
to hide that from people, and I just embrace who
I am, Like I'm not the sexy girl that's doing
all this, Like I'm a tomboy. I like to be loud,
have fun. So I really got confidence about myself because
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
This is who I am. I think for when I
first started, like being on social media, I was like
doing the bikini pigs and posing body pull I'm like, girl,
this is not you at all.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
So I've really been able to embrace myself and be like,
you know what you'd allow homegirl, and that's okay, Like
you don't have to fit into this box of what
you think that a woman is supposed to because people
always love to say because I know you hear.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
This a lot.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
They'd be like, oh, funny women aren't pretty or you
have to either you funny or you're pretty.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
You can't be both, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
So I feel like I used to try to lean
into being the pretty girl, and then I would try
to lean.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
To be the funny girl. And I'm like, you know what,
I don't have to be in anybody's box. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
So you've always been sexy, you just don't give off
sex like you said, like, you're just not prissy, You're
just yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Well, we talked about this on the show.
Speaker 6 (11:46):
There's a difference between like having sex appeal and like
being attractive.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Like Drea just is like sexy, you know what I'm saying.
She's walking around she's like.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Hey, oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Like I said, I just think, like being said it
really much.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Sex appeal is something that's just yeah inside, yes, and.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
I just think like that's not a part of my personality.
But that's okay. It's not I'm not saying I'm unattractive.
I'm a batty you feel me, you know what I'm saying.
So I just think that I've been more comfortable, like
being in my skin and who I am.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
For sure, growing out loud is hard, yes, you know,
and that's what you'll been doing the last seven years
on that podcast.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Liter like going through everything like she said we she
lost her dad, I lost my mom, going through breakups
and then it's like, you know, we'd be like, oh,
we in love and then the next month were talking
about a different doing and every like oh my dad doing.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
The same thing.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
About you, you know, and people not in your business.
So I think, yeah, going through relationships and growing pains.
And I've always been honest about my financial status too,
because I always said when I'm was Atlanta, i had
three dollars because I did like I wasn't lying. So
I think it's important to be transparent, especially as a
(13:07):
black woman in this industry. I feel like we always
try to hide what we're making because I'm like, oh,
this company signed up for your ass, how much they
paying you? Because it's how much they paying us, Let's
make sure that they not you know what I'm saying.
So I think that with the platform that we have,
it's like, yeah, we've grown in front of the camera,
but like she said, being open and vulnerable has helped
us one thousand percent.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Sure. So what have y'all learned about y'allself from doing
the TV show?
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Mm? Honestly, I feel like everybody always asked that because
they're like, oh my gosh, how was it? It was
two weeks, But I'm like, I don't know nothing. I
guess to be honest.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Well, I mean because it's crazy because I thought it
was gonna feel so different, but it felt so natural,
Like I feel like we made for TV because it
felt so natural. It kind of felt like and maybe
because we did it together and we're best friends and
we already have that chemistry and the camaraderie and stuff.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It just felt thank you.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
So it just felt like I'm doing this show with
my homegirl, and the cameras just happened.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
To be here.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
How many bags did y'all pack?
Speaker 6 (14:09):
We too, right, No, we had that when we had
one big suitcase and like our totes and stuff and
then a carry on.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
So what we did though, is though we had the
bags from Amazon that you vacuum, So what we did
is we had each bag for each city, so I
had like my three outfits for Columbia and my vacuum.
Back then, I didn't have to open that bag no more.
Then when we went to Charleton, I had my bag
for Chauton, So it wasn't that bad. But I will
say shout out to the producers at BT, James Knox
(14:40):
and the Cocoa Butter family, because they really let us
be ourselves. Like they were literally like press record, y'all,
just do y'all. And that's another thing I was worried about.
I was like, how are they going to edit this
and make us look But it's definitely given lex p
Andre and the call.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
You know what's really fun time.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
So that was my second time going to Columbia, my
first time going to card Diana because.
Speaker 5 (15:02):
The first Columbia country.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
You said that to me, I was in Columbia. You
are sure white. I am weak, So yeah, but I
mean funny enough.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
I think that's what people think of though when you
think of Columbia, you think of the cartel and stuff,
because like I said, I went to Medayane a few
years ago to get my teeth done and I was
scared to leave from the area where my hotel was and.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Where my doctor crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I mean, I was just.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Nervous to travel around because that's what you hear about Columbia.
So when we went to Cardina, I had a really
really good time. And then especially with us going to Polink,
which is the first free black city in the Americas,
it was just so you know that it's Afro Latinos
in a lot of these countries. But when I say,
when we were in Polenk, we felt like we were
somewhere in Ghana and Nigeria, like these people look like
(15:55):
our cousins, our family members. It was just amazing being
there and being submerged in the culture.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Do you go away to Columbia to get your teeth
done because.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
It was shaper.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I think here was like thirty thousand. You know, I'm
getting a little miney.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
But to say get him done here, they're just all
the same size, like the extra largest, Like nobody for
the mediums or.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Somebody they got the front. They get front teeth for
the whole world.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Yeah, when they get the top done and don't get
the bottom of the and it's like come on, maybe
gets a texture, Like I think that's why my teeth
looks so natural because he made like the texture.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
And how the men treat you when they see y'all
from outside of which we are usually outside of Atlanta.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
What do you mean?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Because Atlanta, you know, they see beautiful women. Sometimes they
might not see that in Colombia, like.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Like American DJ he said, Columbia got ugly women.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
If you said, you know, like usually when you go
out the country and they see American women, they treat
American women differently because they don't usually see American women
like that.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Yeah, honestly, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like whenever
we go anywhere, I really can't tell the difference because
I feel like everywhere we go we kind of draw attention.
I know that sounds bad, but it's like everywhere we
go we're used to people like we're like, oh my.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
God, I know y'all from the pod saying hey.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
And then when we were in Colombia, it's a little
different because we had cameras around us, so of course
people are like looking and saying stuff and being So
it's kind of hard to tell the difference between, you know, people,
how they treat us outside of Atlanta versus anywhere, because
I feel like everywhere we go. Now people kind of
recognize us, so it's not really like we're getting treated
differently per.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Se, if that makes sense.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
When you said they you were scared of how they
were gonna edit y'all and make y'all look. Were y'all
allowed to be in the room during that enterprocess? So
you just like the y'all trusted them, and you just
like the way they ended up editing the episode. Yeah,
we didn't know anything, girl, We've seen everything. When everybody
else seen, you didn't know how they were were still
watching it.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
We was on the plane last night watching the episode
the first time.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
So are y'all nervous for every episode that?
Speaker 7 (18:03):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Well, I'm not nervous now.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
I was nervous of how my body was gonna look
because I just lost thirty pounds okay, thank you, Okay,
So I when we shot, I weighed like two o five.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So I was so nervous. I kept saying, oh my gosh,
I hope cause I have like a little belly on me.
So whenever I gain weight.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
Like people always tend to think I'm pregnant.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
They'd be like, let's pregnant. I'm like, oh my god,
can I just have a little shot at tequila. Yeah,
I had a little you know, like so I was
really more so nervous about my body after I saw
the first episode. But I was like, okay, body, tea.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Combia, pure coke.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
He said, what. Oh No, Honestly, I used to be
a girl. I used to do everything under the sun.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
You know.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
The first time I went to Columbia for my bbah,
so y'all talking about y'all know Columbia for the coke.
I know Colombia for them good doctors. But I just
didn't natural this time. I was doing a lot of cardio,
eating healthy. You know, I feel like and I feel
better now. I think I'm getting older and I'm just
all the I'm not dissing people who do take other routes,
but I just had to do it for.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
It wasn't the Olympics. I don't like needles. I couldn't
do that to myself. But no, no, ospic.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
I do want to say to you talk about walking
in the room. There's something different about Houston women. Houston
women have a presence about them that stands out a
lot more than a lot of other women. I think
it's the side, really, the.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Side usually taller tall. Not originally from Houston. I'm from Orange, Texas. Yes, yes,
I agree with that. I think we do have a
certain or we kind of command the room. You know,
we walk in. We're very friendly.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
So it's especially when we walk in some rooms with
people like from New York, they're not used to people speaking.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
We like hospitality. It's very.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
As some hours, Yeah, it's like two hours.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Yeah. What's something about your friendship that y'all think the
TV show made is stronger? If anything, I.
Speaker 6 (20:08):
Think that we realized how strong we are together and
how many I feel like, how many doors that we're opening, even.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Though I think and I know people gonna be like,
what doors you open?
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Honestly, podcasting, especially in the South, it's not a lot
of podcasts in the South that are really right. And
the fact that there has been podcasters out there that
have gotten TV shows, but it's mostly TV shows that
are based on their podcast.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
The fact that Travel Queens has.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Nothing to do with poor minds, and we're showing our talents,
like we have communication degrees, like we went to school
for this. So I think a lot of times people
don't take influencers or people who started on the Internet.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Seriously, you started on the internet as well.
Speaker 6 (20:46):
So a lot of times we get so much backlash
because they're like, uh, y'all just girls who grabbed a
mic and start a YouTube channel. But I think being
on this show it shows like, no, we we got
some tricks up our sleeve, you know what I'm saying.
So I think that it made our friendship stronger because
I'm like, bro, look at what we have done, you
know what I'm saying. Even from the first time when
we came on Breakfast Club, I was like, oh my gosh,
(21:06):
like this is huge, you know what I'm saying. So
I think this is just like we realized how strong
we are together and how much more that we have
to do.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
And don't speak pass the fact y'all got communications degree.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
I think people always forget that because we never highlighted
that much.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
But graduated from Texas Southern and I graduated from Stephen F. Austin.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
What did y'all want to do? Y'all? In college? I
just wanted to be like on TV news anchors or you.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Know, I didn't really know what I wanted to do.
To be honest, I knew I wanted to do something
in media. And then when I graduated, I had a
little fake internship at ninety seven nine buck shout out
to Kiyati's still Kyati still on the radio in Houston
right now, and I had a little fake internship with him.
I shadowed him for maybe like two months, and then
I realized I didn't really like radio. So then I
(21:52):
didn't know what I wanted to do, and so I
moved to Atlanta. Of course, y'all know, Lex ended up
moving out here. One of her friends who was also
already into podcast and was like, y'all need to turn
y'all YouTube channel into a podcast. And I feel like
that's when I found my niche. I was like, okay,
I'm supposed to be podcasting, but prior to that, I
didn't know.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
I thought I was gonna do like hard news. I
was like, I'm finna be out roke up. I'm gonna
be reporting everything.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
It's gonna great. I'm gonna do Everything's gonna be like,
y'all don't understand what I'm gonna be America bitch. I
was trying to do everything.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
But like, I took an internship at my uh my
school radio station, and we were just reporting on hard
news every morning. It was so sad, and I was like,
I cannot do this, Like we're having to interview people
who just lost their house and a fire like all
this stuff. And I was like, Okay, maybe I need
to redirect. And so I've always been into entertainment news,
Like I grew up, you know, watching news. You know
(22:55):
what I'm saying. The kids was watching Coco, Mela and Rugrass.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I was watching news.
Speaker 6 (22:59):
So I was like, okay, let me do something in
the entertainment world like that might be, you know, more
of my speed. So I knew I want to do
something on TV and media, but I just wasn't sure.
So podcasting kind of made it easy because I was
applying for all the jobs in Houston and I just
couldn't get my foot in the door.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
So I was like, well, let me just create our
own lane and do our thing.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
How did 'all connect with eighty five South?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It was because of Carlos.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
So Carlos always followed us on Twitter and we were
cool with him on Twitter, and I think I shot
my shot and I was just like, okay, you calum
record poor minds with us, And at this time, we
weren't even recording in the studio yet. We were still
recording in the living room at my house, and he
pulled up on us, sat on the floor in my
living room and recorded.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Poor Minds with us.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
And then I think ever since then he was just
kind of watching us, and then he saw how the
show kept growing and elevating, and then a few years
later he ended up asking us to come on eighty
five South.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
We went on eighty five South.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
I think that episode did a million views in like
five days or something. So we ended up the episode
did like a million views in five days, and then
he introduced us to Chad and he was like, I
think you know we want to sign y'all.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
I do have a question, uh some advice. I have
a single friend. Uh, she has a closet full of wigs, curly.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Terrible wigs.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Oh you know who the friend is.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Sadly, she has a.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Bunch of wigs curly, one day is straight, different colors.
She's she's funny, she's smart, she switches up her wigs
like like a Netflix series.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
But when it comes to dating, she doesn't seem like
she can find the right guy. She doesn't know if
guys get intimidated.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Or if they just confused, how would you suggest she
meets somebody to secure a relationship because time is running out?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
And saw her wigs, But why did you include the.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Stuff about the wigs? You think the we might be
the reason why she can't find the men.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
I mean, think about it, just thinks that. I'm sure
that y'all felt like y'all had to change about yourselves
a little bit and it probably made them, you know,
a little stronger for the fish.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Okay, well, you know what kind of men are she
is she trying to date? Because you know they say
they like bad weed, the white.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
They love a crunching maybe a crunches steal. I could
not keep the Bretts off of me.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
They do. But I will say that we were actually
just having this conversation. We was literally just talking about this.
They don't they have that same hardwig soft life.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Maybe should a different pool.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
She's in the wrong pool. It might be in the
wrong pool one.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
But I will say we were just telling our producer this,
and I was saying, like, when you get your look
together and you feel confident in yourself, it doesn't even matter,
Like whatever makes you feel good, You're gonna attract the
right person.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I enjoy being polished. I used to have a stiff
wig or two. You still got one of them? She does,
she does, but.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
I called her. I said, well, she wins her first EM.
I'm gonna put it on eBay and don't got the
collectors item and it still has the screensheet on it
and everything.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It's in the pony tail.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
Who do you think lies? More women with bad wigs
are men with podcasts.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Me and with with podcasts hands down, Oh my god.
The girl with a stiff wig A bad week? You
living in your truth? Yeah, trip for the two weeks
(26:54):
that we we didn't.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Me and Lex honestly really get along most of the time.
We never really argue against if we do, because I
feel like we can. We're at a point now in
our relationship where we can since when the other person
low key's tired to me, like, but it be.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Over silly stuff like dram be running late sometimes and
like she'll getting the ouber and I to be on
my phone, like you don't even speak up, girl, you
are late bring your as So it'd be silly stuff
like that, but we just don't.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
It don't be nothing like that. Serious. Like I said,
life is good. What do we have to be mad
about it?
Speaker 5 (27:27):
If it's great to go back to this wak ship
for one, I got won't have the phone at some point,
But I don't believe that. I've never heard the white
man like.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
And you said hard Yeah, who told you this?
Speaker 4 (27:41):
I lived it, lived it.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I'm serious.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
If you go look on TikTok right now and type
Hardwig soft life, you're gonna see nothing but interracial couples.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
So why didn't you stick with the white man?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Because I wanted a man. I wanted a hard life,
but a hard man like I want to struggle. She
wanted to struggle with the.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
Raw Doctor Lamar influenced you the dump that white man.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
You know what people hate when I say this, I
love doctor little Changing. It's no funny. First of all,
exciting me.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
They're talking about me, talking about I got a bad
we can't find a man talking about it.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
It's so nice to meet other He looks beautiful, boy,
Hardwig will Halloween, What what did you talking about?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Talking about your heart?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Talking about her in that sac First of all, the
sad thing that normally comes from over here, but you
and your sad song all over there spinning around looking
at me.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Nobody talking about.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Come in here. Let's you know, so it's close to my.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
Weal is.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Nice and I love the show.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I think that y'all looks so pretty on the show.
I've watched all three episodes. Why you kept turning around
to me? We got cameras all in the studio. We're
gonna run the tady. Oh my god, that stiff Next.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Talk my heart. We din't talking about that hard die
that's dried over there. All right, I'll talk to y'all ladies. Okay, Yeah,
I think your wig is beautiful to I like it.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I love the ball.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
So many listen, how do you'll protect y'all mental health?
While still?
Speaker 2 (29:49):
How do y'all protection.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
My heart?
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Other people?
Speaker 6 (29:56):
We keep.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
My heart wigs to protect me no ct over here?
I was protecting.
Speaker 5 (30:07):
Transparent and on TV. How do y'all protect y'all at that?
Speaker 4 (30:11):
I praize I have a great relationship with God. I
p realized. I also go to therapy. I think it's
so important to go to therapy, and I don't know
why in the black community so many people don't want
to try it out, are afraid to try it out.
Like it has completely changed my life, especially when I
was grieving when I lost my dad. That's when I
started therapy and I've been going ever since. It's been
(30:31):
about five years now.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah, it's the same.
Speaker 6 (30:34):
I go to therapy. I recently started going. I go
to church every Sunday. I do not play. I've worked
on my relationship with God, and honestly, I really have
a tight close knit circle, like my friends and my family,
like me and my sister are extremely close, and I
feel like that's important. Like when I have my bad
days and I'm just like, my best friend is here
(30:54):
with me, killer I'm like, you need to come to Atlanta,
like I'm not doing too well, and she will literally
hop on a plane and come see me. And you know,
because we all have our moments, even with Drave me
and my neighbor, I'm like, I had a breakdown last
week and I called her.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
I was like, bro, I'm finna lose my mind.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
So I think it's very important to have people around
you that you know, when I'm down, they can pick
me up and vice versa.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
So you had a grief counselor or you're just just
a therapist. But I mean she did specialize in grief,
so yeah, and that helped. It helps me a lot
for sure, because I mean, I will talk to my
mom about it, but it was hard talking to my
mom about it because she was also grieving as well.
And it was just nice to have somebody who was unbiased,
(31:36):
who I could let all my feelings out and let
them know how I was feeling. Because at the time,
you know, Lex hadn't lost her mom yet, so I
didn't have any friends that had lost the parents, So
it wasn't anybody that I could talk to that I
felt like could relate to what I was going through.
Speaker 5 (31:49):
Man. Yeah, condolences man. And when you are going through
those breakdowns, like you said, you hit dred, what you
pull over the bottle or something?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Some smoke?
Speaker 5 (31:57):
What you'all do?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I always got about it. Not some smoke and I
think coke either about to go out to make yourself
feel better.
Speaker 6 (32:09):
No, But honestly, you know what, I don't even think
we do that anymore. We used to, but now we
really just talk like we drink through our problems.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
But we really don't do that anymore. We really just
talk it out and you know, just give each other
time and just be there for each other, you know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Yeah, Yeah, And one thing I've learned is just like
I've learned so much patience. I have so much peace
in that because it doesn't rain forever. So every time
I'm going through something, I'm just like, just let it pass,
and it always always passes.
Speaker 4 (32:42):
So I think we we we we still get turned
bottle the wine though.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah we don't drink now, but we don't use it
as a crutch anymo.
Speaker 5 (32:50):
Yeah, I was how do y'all balance like turning up
for the show because you still got to perform, right
because it's still a TV show, but then being present
for the moments that you're experiencing, like those cultural mom
You know what's crazy.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
We didn't really drink that much the whole time that
we were filming. Like, we had a few scenes, like
we had a mexcal scene, so of course we were
drinking during that scene.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
I think the Drag show.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Yeah, we were drinking a little bit, and then we
had some mohitos, But honestly, those were the only three
times throughout the whole time we were filming that we
were drinking because we really wanted to stay present in
the moment because one thing about this we're gonna take
it to the moon, We're gonna take it too far.
So it's missed to just not have no drinks.
Speaker 6 (33:27):
Yeah, And it's crazy because the mescal scene that we
did that showed in Mexico City last night. That was
actually the last scene that we did for the entire show,
and that was probably the most like lit that we
got because we were drinking so much. But I think
it's very different from Poor Minds. But honestly, we stopped
drinking a.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Lot on Poor Minds.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
Yeah, because it was like some cringy episodes and we
just like, oh my god, it was the Houston Live showed.
It was so embarrassing because we recorded the show and
then we went back and watched it when we got
back to and it was just so cringey. We was
on stage like yeah, Lex, let's turn up, and we
(34:06):
bringing our friends on stage and just drunk, taking shots, twerking.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
It was.
Speaker 5 (34:11):
It was a miss one of my favorite shows. Y'all
came out and y'all was just dancing.
Speaker 6 (34:17):
And it was in the zone that that was Houston.
But that was like our second Huston show. We have
the freaking outfits on.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Yeah, that.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Was a good show. We have put ourselves on a
drink minimum.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
We have a two shot minimum before we go on stage,
and then we'll have like a drink on stage, but
we have one drink go on stage and that's it.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Once we're done with that drink, you're done. Yeah, that
first Houston show, we drunk that whole bottle.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah, because we was turning.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
I'm always not always a little nervous, always trying to
turn up.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
I didn't realize I was getting so drunk.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
With the long term vision for the show, more seasons, yea,
it's we're hoping it's gonna get picked up for a
second season. I think we should probably know that within
like the next two weeks or so. So obviously we
wanted to get picked up. And as far as Poor Minds,
we want Poor Minds to get picked up as a
TV show as well. Yeah, that's on our bucket leads.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
I think like with Travel Queens, I definitely wanted to
be a lot more seasons. I feel like we should
do like a whole season, like in Africa, a whole
season in Europe. So that's what we're holding. That'll that
it'll grow to. And you know, same thing with Poor Minds.
I can see Poor Minds living on like, you know,
maybe like a streaming app or something that you know,
outside of YouTube. I think we're ready to make that
transition with Poor Minds as well. And yeah, yeah, for sure,
(35:39):
and more hosting opportunities for the both of us and individually.
