Transcript

[A]

Hello, beautiful angels. Welcome back to another Monday of the Blondish podcast. You have to keep that open, baby, because I was supposed to. Oh, we're doing many things today. As always. We've been multitasking. It has been, like, the busiest time of our lives. I thought opening the spa.

[B]

No, it's so up.

[A]

Yeah. Like, we were like, once this fall

[B]

back the tapes to 20 episodes in a row where we're like, we're in the worst times of our life. But, you know, once we get this far open, we're going to be smooth sailing. It's not. That was not the case. But we're still alive. We're still breathing. I have never gotten stress rashes in my life before, not even when we were building the spot. And I've had a few in the past two weeks. I never noticed that Savannah does. But anyway, today we are back for another wonderful episode of the Blondest podcast. We just got back from New York City for the be. Well, I suppose that is no longer iecsc. Do you. What do you prefer?

[A]

I don't care. I don't have a preference.

[B]

She said, name it what you want. Yeah, this is Savannah's.

[A]

Yeah, this is Savannah's favorite show. And it's funny because that's, like, the show that I had my, like, panic attack at. But I just. I really like the energy of New York. I have such a good time. I like the hustle and the bustle, and I think my life is, like, so, like, work, home, and not fast that, like, it's kind of fun to, like, have that. But I definitely had, like, a dopamine hit when I got home because you're just, like, on high. Like, I imagine that's, like, how people feel that do speaking or, like, vacations or, like, go to a concert or just, like, any kind of performance that you go to, whether you're the performer or the attendee, it's just like, so much like, you know, your cortisol is a high and, like.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And then it's just, like, mellow. But, no, I think things have been good. There's just, like, a lot of little things at the spa that have been stressing us out. Like, there's just so many little things. Like, the bar cart for our staff bathroom has been, like, stuck in a different country for, like, probably three months now.

[B]

Yeah, they ordered it in, I believe November, and I told them that they just needed to cancel it and find it, and that's what they did, but they were refusing to cancel it. And so that's why they were holding out, but now they refunded it, and we found it somewhere else, and it's supposed to be in stock and ready to ship by the end of the week, so God bless.

[A]

What about that little green thing?

[B]

That little green thing?

[A]

That little green thing for the stuff. Wash hands, paper towels.

[B]

Oh, that's the one thing I forgot to ask about. Back to my notes. My never ending notes.

[A]

And then I really want them to just also, if you can just ask, we can have a pink crepe myrtle in the front. Because it would really just give some curb appeal to sba, I think.

[B]

Yes. Curb appeal.

[A]

I really, really want a pink crepe myrtle there, Tyler.

[B]

But isn't it only pink for, like, one month out of the year, and then it's green? The rest.

[A]

I don't care what they do. I just want a pink tree.

[B]

I don't think there's any tree that's pink for a majority of the year.

[A]

Okay, well, it'll be pink. It's better to have some pink than no pink. Right? Anyway, really, though, ask them. And one of my things is dad in the front, my shrub?

[B]

No, I think it's gonna look like that. I think it comes back alive in the spring.

[A]

Okay, plants. That's a thing.

[B]

I hate landscaping. I hate contractors. I hate a lot of things right now. I'm in a hate mood.

[A]

He's a hater.

[B]

I am a huge hater today.

[A]

We've just been having so many things going on, but, I mean, it's been really good. It's just scaling a business when, like, two people have never done it before. We're still in our 20s. Like, we don't really know what we're doing, but we're doing it well. I think we do a good job.

[B]

Yeah, I think we're figuring it out.

[A]

We are.

[B]

It's fine. No, like, it's great. It's just a lot. Yeah.

[A]

I mean, and it's like, we have a big team, but it's like, they are so good at, like, the day to day and, like, maintaining the day to day, which is, like, a whole thing in itself. And then it's really just Tyler and I, sometimes. Ryan and Maria, if it's, like, a task that, like, they can help, that's, like, not, like, super huge picture stuff, but, like, the back end of the business. It's just, like, us, too.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, really, like, you're the one doing everything. I'm just giving, like, final say or approval or whatever. So there's a lot happening.

[B]

Yeah. And, I mean, I'm also, like, kind of a control freak, so.

[A]

And I am, too. And I think that's been the hard thing is, like, we hired someone to do our social media. Not all of it, but, like, the majority of, like, the story posts throughout the spot and, like, helping make reels and stuff like that and ideas and. And it's been great. She's wonderful. But that's, like, something that I love so much. And, like, what made my business what it is today was me on social media, obviously, also being good at my job, because you have to have both. But I slay social media. Like, I'm so good at it. And, like, not that she's not good at it. It's just, like, it's my brain. It's my brain. And so it's just so difficult to. Like, there's times where she'll do something, and, like, it's just like, me being insane because I'm like, oh, it's, like, great, like, on paper. But then I'm like, in my head, like, what I would have done, and I'm like, I wish I, like, had the time.

[B]

Like, Savannah gives ideas, and in her head, she sees exactly how it's going to be executed. And unless Savannah is sitting over her shoulder, I mean, I would say she

[A]

still does an amazing. I mean, it's an amazing job. Like, literally, Godsend. I just wish that I could, like, put my brain in her brain, and I wish I had time for it. Honestly, like, that was, like, a really hard thing for me to give up doing 100 of the time, but just, you know, as a single mom, as a business owner trying to have work, life balance, like, it's just like, I could not. That was my entire life. From the moment I woke up to the moment I closed my eyes. I was posting. Like, I never really was fully present in any aspect of my life because my head was in the phone and, you know, loved that time. But now it's, like, now that I haven't done it, like, if I had to do that many stories and type it out, I don't know if I have the stamina. I don't.

[B]

I don't know either. She is a godsend. I certainly did not have the stamina for, like, the three months that I had to do it. It was about to be the death of me.

[A]

It's a lot. But, yeah, I mean, we have 13 people in the business now, which is just so crazy to think about. Our fish are doing good.

[B]

Yeah, no, they're doing well now. I feel like I. Dina told me that Carlos was putting himself in timeout because he. He was constipated. She said she, like, physically watched him, like, explode. Yeah, like, like explode. And then his tail strained up.

[A]

And he wasn't like, oh, so he wasn't.

[B]

I think he was just uncomfortable.

[A]

He didn't feel bad about what he did. He was just in pain.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

From eating the fish.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And also, let's address it. Let's fucking talk about it. For the bitches out there that said they were going to report me to the Better Business Bureau because my pufferfish ate another fish. First of all, get a job, babe. Second of all, you know nothing about fish keeping. It is the most deadly pet situation that you could have. Like, fish literally, like, in the ocean, fish eat fish. Okay. First and foremost. Second of all. You think I tell the fish store what fish I get? No, no, no. Sean and I'll call them. Some people said, let's call them and call. Tell them to stop selling fisherman. Dallas North Aquarium column. Talk to Sean. Call him up. I will pull the number up for you to call. He said, don't name fish second. You name your fish, they're going to die. And then he also said to me that these fish would be good together. And, like, they can't predict if, like,

[B]

if there's going to be tension in the tank.

[A]

Yeah. And Carlos, he should be fine with other fish. And he has been like, he has 10 other fish in there that he has not fucked with. It's just, like, randomly. He has violent tendencies.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And we don't know who it's going to be.

[B]

And I mean, here's what happened, because I feel like they were all upset about the clownfish.

[A]

I was very upset about the savannah

[B]

was crying over the clown.

[A]

Well, especially because it was like, it didn't happen immediately. It was like they were like, all family for, like, two weeks. And then, like, overnight, just like, okay, here's the phone number for the fucking bitches that want to call. Talk to Sean. 9724-926-165.

[B]

Clownfish are vital when you get a new tank to establish the levels of the. Whatever chemicals that are in the water. So we were required to have them in order to be able to introduce other saltwater fish to the tank.

[A]

We needed their ick. We needed their, like, them to create the environment, the biome.

[B]

They're very resilient to levels being off. Like, they're kind of like the cockroaches of the sea. Not really, but, like, you Know what I mean?

[A]

Like, pretty cockroaches.

[B]

Cockroaches can go through hell and back radiation or whatever and be fine. So that's kind of what the clownfish were. And he killed three in one night, and then that next day, he killed the other two. We had five total. And so then we got other fish, and it was good. It was fine. Yeah. Basically, they said Daphne did pass away,

[A]

but that was because she was sick when they gave us. Gave her to us.

[B]

Yeah. And so. But we've had all the other fish fine.

[A]

And then Lucia also, she was sick that she wasn't eating. She was just sick. It's just part of it, guys. Like, these fish are bred.

[B]

And you know what?

[A]

They sometimes have illnesses that you don't know about. And then they get in the tank, and then, like, you're literally. Your levels could be off for a day, and it could kill your whole tank. Like, I'm not maliciously, like, for content or for. Like, I cry every time a fish dies. Like, it actually is, like, a very serious thing to me.

[B]

Oh, my gosh. We have.

[A]

We have literally gravestones outside. That's what. How much we care about these fish. So I understand when people are like, oh, he's a killer. Why keep putting fish in there? Because it's. They're supposed to be fine until they're not.

[B]

Yeah. Like, we ask, what fish can we have in this tank?

[A]

And also, ethically, like, they will not sell. They've told me. I was like, I want this starfish. Or, like, this starfish is not gonna make it. Patricia is fine. Okay. But there's, like, a chocolate starfish that I really wanted, and they're like, they're all gonna eat his legs. Like, you can't have him. And I'm like, okay. And there's things that they're like, you know, if you want to put a shrimp in there, like, he may or may not survive, like, that's like, we'll sell him to you. But, like. But, yeah, everything else is, like, supposed to be okay until it's not. And, like, even they're shocked. They're like, oh, my God, he ate that fish. Like, Carlos just is Carlos. So, anyways, I don't want to talk about it forever. It just really pisses me off. Like, you can say anything you want about me. You can say, I filter my photos, which I don't. You can say that I work too much, and I'm not home enough with my son. I'm a working mom. Lord for bed. Sue me. You can Say my prices are too high. You can say whatever the fuck you want to say about me, but never say that I don't care about my animals that will so fight. I'll fight you. I just think it's funny. I just think people are funny. And I think, you know, people have always disliked me. Not everyone, but, like, a little 20, 30 people probably on earth that, like, really don't like me, that have never met me, which is crazy. Like, there are people out there that have reasons not to like me, and they actually don't hate me as much as the people who have no reason to hate me. Hate me wild. But it's just like, if you're going to be a hater, be a smart hater. My haters are stupid. I'm sorry. Like, they're just so uneducated. They're so dumb. They don't understand anything that they're saying. Like, half the time I'm like, I can't even be upset because I'm like, what are you even saying? Like, there's a one. I smoke weed, and I'm proud. Love smoking weed. Second of all, there is a picture of me on my boyfriend's back with my, like, little Dior purse. And, like, she's holding a weed bag. Like, she's holding a bag of weed. And it's literally a poster behind me. Like, babe, zoom in. Get fucking glasses.

[B]

We haven't seen that.

[A]

No. It's so funny. And it's just like, the. Like, it's not even annoying to me. I just think it's funny because it's just like, they are reaching so hard that they're gonna pull a fucking ligament trying to figure out how to, like, with me and, like, say something about me. Whatever. My haters keep me famous. You know what they say. If you don't have haters, you're not popping. It's just, like, very strange to me, like, the commitment level that my haters do have. And they watch this. Hi, guys.

[B]

They absolutely do watch it.

[A]

Everything I do. Like, they were live posting on New Year's Eve. Like, how sad is that? Your life is so. Fuck. I know.

[B]

It's literally a floor sign that's like one of those, like, triangle ones that gets behind us. Like a wet floor sign.

[A]

But even if it was a weed bag, I bought weed in New York. Yeah, I'm not hiding that. I don't hide that she's holding a weed. Like, if you're gonna hate, be smart. Like, but I guess, like, if you were smart and intelligent, you Wouldn't be a hater because you'd focus that energy on your life. So it's like we, you know, what do we expect? I don't think people with high IQs hate on people online. Personally, I just don't. But, yeah, there's just some funny things. It's just so funny when you read it. Like, he doesn't just make you laugh. This is just so silly. Like, the rumors and, like, the way that they just, like, fully, like, are like, we know this.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, they live under my fucking bed or, like, bugged my house. Like, they are just so confident about these, like, fabrications of stories about me that just have never happened, never existed. And, like, even, like, to lie on a photo that's like, right in front of you that's so clear that it's not what you're saying it is. And, like, to have multiple people be like, yeah, like, she's a drug addict.

[B]

A total drug addict. That's how you build a business. Like you are.

[A]

Yeah. Just be on hard drugs all day and you will be successful. Anyway, that's enough about that. I just think it's funny. Of course they don't like him. Well, back to New York, the two year anniversary of Grape Gate.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I will say someone did say that I look transgender, and that did hurt my feelings.

[B]

Where did they say that to? There's no way I want to see what they look like.

[A]

Well, duh.

[B]

That's what I want.

[A]

And then my other favorite one, we posted this funny reel. It's like, obviously, clearly a fake dm because it's like a trend where my social media girl, Jordan, she DMs me, like, hey, girly. And then I'm like, keep him. Because it's like, anytime you get a hey, girly dm, I had to explain it to Ryan. I had to explain it to my ex husband because he was so confused. He was like, what is this? I was like, lance, let me price this out for you. So anyways, you, like, keep him. Whatever. So it's like back and forth, and they're like, she fakes her DMs. Da, da, da, da, da.

[B]

And it's like, no shit. It's a trend.

[A]

It was supposed, like, caught me.

[B]

Yeah, caught me. Someone didn't say, hey, girly. And I said, keep him.

[A]

Like, it was supposed to be like, it's obviously scripted.

[B]

It's like, who is taking screenshots after each DM you get from someone?

[A]

No one. These people are just. That's what I'm Saying, like, they're not smart, and I know this will probably make them hate me more, but I don't really fucking care because, y'. All. I don't like you. I don't hate you because I don't hate people, but I don't like you. I don't think you're good people. I think you're sad people. And I do pray for you.

[B]

Yeah. No, actually, I mean, I just don't understand it because it's like, what. What do you have to gain from, like, trying to spin every single thing a person does in a negative way?

[A]

And, like, literally, like, grasping at fucking straws like they're gasping for air. Try to find.

[B]

But it's, like, obsessive. It's like, that's what scares me.

[A]

And I went from, like, me being, like, annoyed and being like. Like. Like, kind of like a fly that's flying around. You're, like, trying to flick the fly away from you to, like, y' all are scary.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, that's scary. And, like, when they start talking about my child.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Or, like, pretending like they know me, be like, I know her. It's like, no, you don't. And, like, just making, like, the most outlandish stories. But I get it, like, every influencer that, like, people have haters, like, it's just part of the territory. I just think it's some of these people. Like, I've had people give me death threats, like, when I went swimming with sharks, like, hoping that I was gonna get eaten by sharks. And, like, that's where I feel like it's just, like, there's one thing to, like, snark about my, like, outfit or if you think I did something cringy or, like, you don't like something, like, that's, like, one thing. But I think when you start to bully somebody online and you start to threaten them and talk about their child like, you're a bad person. And it's gone way further than just, like, poking fun at somebody. And, like, it's just, like, sick. Like, you're sick in the head, and

[B]

they won't see it that way. That's, like, the worst part. It's like, I don't know.

[A]

They're, like, mothers and, like, parents and, like, 50. Like, y'. All. Half of them could be my mom and you're bullying me. But you know what they say? You'll never have someone that hates on you that you want their life, like, is doing better than doing better than me. Exactly. And so, I don't know. I guess like, when I was in, like, a dark place in my life when I wasn't, you know, financially abundant, I didn't have, you know, thriving, healthy business. And there are people that I looked up to that had that. Like, I was so inspired by them. Instead of trying to, like, pick them down or, like, find ways to make them smaller to make myself feel better, like, I didn't do that. Like, I focused that energy on myself, and that's why I'm now at that level that they are.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I don't think it's hard to do. I think people just spend so much time instead of looking in the mirror and being like, what can I fix about my life and myself to get to where Savannah is, they're like, let's find something wrong with her so that I can be like, yeah, well, she's this and that and she's all these things. And like, let's tear her down to make her smaller. And it's like, I'm gonna keep getting bigger. I'm gonna keep growing my business. I'm gonna still be successful. Like, there's nothing that you guys can say or do that's gonna stop me. Like, you're wasting your time that you could be working out, that you could be reading a self help book that you could be spending with your kids, that. That you could be watching a really good movie or TV show, that you could be praying to whatever God you believe in to where you could be brainstorming ideas for your business or filming content for your business, or, I don't know, something other than just live watching every single thing I do. Like, that's just strange, strange behavior that I will never understand because I've never done that to somebody and I never would, no matter how much I, like, hated them.

[B]

That's exactly, like, to me, it's just

[A]

like, I can't comprehend that. Like, my brain doesn't register doing that because I'm just like. It just confuses me. I'm like, why do they care about me so much? Like, I've never met these people.

[B]

No. And it's like any person that, like, say, like a past relationship I was in or something like that, like, the second I no longer with them, they're dead, like, gone from, like, my existence. My peripheral. Like, they're not even in my peripheral. I don't look them up, like, fully.

[A]

Like, because you're healthy.

[B]

Well, it's just like, I don't want that in front of me if I don't like it. So it's like I don't understand doing the exact opposite. And if you don't like something, you completely obsess over it. Like, that way of thinking. I'm like, how is that beneficial? Like, I mean, mine maybe isn't the most healthy. Like, you know me, like, I put things in a box and I chuck that.

[A]

I always care about people, even if they're, like, not directly in my life anymore. But that's because I'm really forgiving and I just care about people. But not that you don't. You just like. But also, the people you cut off, like, you over. I have them at my birthday party for my child.

[B]

And they still fucked you over.

[A]

Anyway, anyway, New York was great. My boyfriend came, or whatever.

[B]

Or whatever. He did come. It was a lovely time.

[A]

I mean, it was a really good trip. I think it was cool for him to, like, be able to see that side of my life.

[B]

It was his first time being at a conference and seeing Savannah speak on a stage.

[A]

And I was a little nervous.

[B]

You were the first one. Can we talk about your mistake? It was so funny where I said

[A]

the aerials instead of the glacial.

[B]

Yeah, in your glacier class.

[A]

I never do that shit. Like, I was so, like, anxious. I was like. I just wanted him to think I was, like, great.

[B]

And, like, I don't think anyone. I mean, it was like the.

[A]

I caught it.

[B]

Yeah, you caught it immediately. Like, you didn't do a whole presentation.

[A]

I literally said, you're the best son to our father, instead of, you're the best father to our son. And had no fucking clue until, like, three days later.

[B]

My face in that video is so funny.

[A]

You're like, what the fuck did this bitch just say?

[B]

But, no, it was great. I will. I want to give credit where it's due. The first thing we got to do when we were there was go to Don Angie's, which we've tried to do for four years, and I've never been able to get a reservation. And Mr. Boyfriend got us in, and it was as hyped as it should have been.

[A]

That was really good.

[B]

So good.

[A]

Really, really good. And then the next day, we just kind of, like, frolicked around. Tyler got his dream bag, which was really cool to see.

[B]

I got my dream bag that I didn't even know existed. Yeah, like, that was the crazy part.

[A]

Yeah, it's like, a really cool version of it. That's one of a kind. And y' all will probably see it. We don't, like, talking too much about that stuff, but it's a Beautiful bag. And I'm just really proud of him. Like, that's like, a really big boy purchase. And it's something that he'll have forever. And reminding him of, like, how far he's come and what the life that he can provide for himself. And I'm proud of you.

[B]

Yeah. Life that you helped provide for me, that's for sure.

[A]

And he works for it. I make him work for it. Don't worry.

[B]

But, yeah.

[A]

And then the conference went great. I got to meet so many people. The Airlace party was so much fun. The dumplings, if you guys are at the Airlace party, those fucking green dumplings. I ate so many of them. I was in love with them.

[B]

All the food there was great. I wouldn't say that they were hors d' oeuvre sized because they would come and give you a toothpick and then a thing that was like, this big to eat. And I'm like, we kind of need a plate or something for this. Like, normally with an hors d', oeuvre, you know, you have the toothpick, you put it in, and then you can put it in one bite and then give them back the toothpick. These were, like entree size appetizers. They were passing out, but they were so delicious. Yeah. Drinks. Oh, I didn't drink there. I was gonna say drinks were good, but I didn't have a. Because they.

[A]

The drinks were good.

[B]

Okay, good. They were supposed to have an espresso martini, and then they said they didn't have espresso, and Ann was trying to, like, doordash me espresso shot so they could make me an espresso martini. It's so encoded.

[A]

That's so funny. Yeah. It was a great weekend. I had a really good time. I got to meet everybody and, you know, I just can't wait for the next one, which is going to be Vegas.

[B]

What was your highlight?

[A]

I think my last class my so good. I felt like it was really interactive. Like, that class, just, like, the energy was so good. People were laughing, people were talking, people made friends. Like, it just really felt collaborative and, like, everything I love about our industry, like, was happening in that room. Like, it just felt everyone was, like, excited to learn. Everyone was happy to be there. I just felt really special to be a part of that.

[B]

No, I have seen you teach that class before, and I've seen you teach a lot of classes before, and I feel like that was, like, top two. I don't want to say it was your best one yet, because I'm sure there's one where you did just as well. But it was like you showed up and showed out.

[A]

It was the sneakers.

[B]

It was the sneakers. You weren't like, fuck, my feet fucking hurt. And then you have to jump onto the table. And then your legs falling asleep because you're sitting on the table. Maybe you just need to start doing sneakers.

[A]

Maybe a sneaky girl.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I think that's all I have for this episode.

[B]

What was your low light?

[A]

My low.

[B]

Your feet.

[A]

That was bad. I'm trying to think.

[B]

Well, I feel like.

[A]

I think the Max Mara store, where

[B]

these literally, it was like, God, let's

[A]

hire, like, the slowest people on earth to figure this out.

[B]

It took them. We. Savannah picked out. She was getting two items.

[A]

Yeah. A little jacket and little shirt.

[B]

A little jacket and a little shirt. That's right. And it took them from the time where she said. And we were the only ones in the store, mind you, only two people in the store. There are four employees there. It took them 32 minutes to check her out, get it bagged up, and give it to us. 32 minutes. And I had an Uber called the second she said, okay, I'm ready to check out. Because I was like, okay, it'll take five minutes for the Uber to get here. You know, if it takes them six, seven minutes. The Uber will wait for 10 minutes. No, sterling had to go out, have him start the car ride, and then basically drive him. Oh, okay. Well, he had to go out and grab the Uber and basically drive blocks around the circle.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Or drive circles around the block until 32 minutes had passed for them to give us a call.

[A]

Oh, Actually, my highlight was when I was a little high, a little drunk, and we were in the car with Ollie.

[B]

Oh, my. Why did I forget about that?

[A]

And this man and I became best friends. This Uber driver.

[B]

It started out a little rocky.

[A]

Yeah, no, I was, like, a little bit too. Like, I was annoying.

[B]

You were forward.

[A]

I was forward.

[B]

And then Savannah was like, wait, wait, wait. Let's start from the beginning. And he was like, okay, hi, I'm Ollie. And then you were like, I'm Savannah. And then it was.

[A]

Yep. And then I went. And I got him. What did we get?

[B]

You got him Ice cream. Bon Bon first.

[A]

Yeah, I bought him candy, and I bought him ice cream.

[B]

And then. No, they got along so well that by. By the time we got to the ice cream shop, Savannah was like, okay, what flavor do you want? He was like, no, I'm okay. I'll buy you guys ice cream. I was like, oh, Ollie fucks with us.

[A]

Wanted to bump. We're going to buy you ice cream. But yeah, I know he's great. He showed us music from his country and it was like amazing.

[B]

It was so good.

[A]

Oh, my God, we were vibing so hard.

[B]

It was like Arab rap.

[A]

It was good.

[B]

It was bumping.

[A]

I was tired, in trouble.

[B]

If I play a piece maybe I think on YouTube they can't play it. No, I was like falling asleep and then he started playing this and I was up.

[A]

So anyways, it was a vibe and we had so much fun and it was just like a great core memory with like my favorite people, my best friend and Maria and. Yeah, I think that's it. I love you guys. Happy Monday. We'll see you next week.

[B]

Bye. Bye.
