Now look, y' all know I'm big on ownership. Owning your ideas, owning your business, owning your future. And that's exactly why I use Shopify. Shopify is the platform that lets you take an idea and actually build a real business out of it. What I love is how discoverable it makes everything. Shopify puts products everywhere people actually shop. Google, YouTube, TikTok, shop the shop app. Even inside ChatGPT you can literally go from conversation to checkout.

It's Lauren LaRosa and I used to think that if something worked for everybody else, it should work for me too. So I was just layering products on, trying every routine I saw online and my hair just stayed dry, undefined and honestly it was frustrating. It felt like I was doing everything right but getting no results. What I had to unlearn is that hair isn't one size fits all. Once I started focusing on my hair and what I actually needed, everything changed. My hair felt softer, stronger and I finally started seeing real growth. That's why I love Baskin Lather. Their products are made specifically for textured hair and you can feel the difference. The stimulating scalp and hair bomb keeps my hair hydrated without the heavy greasy feel and it helps reduce breakage while Adding shine and the hydrating hair mist. Oh, it's perfect for keeping my curls soft, detangled and refreshed, especially in protective styles. I have thick textured hair that leans very dry, so moisture and strength are everything for me and I've definitely seen an improvement in both even their before and after results. You can tell it's real growth in healthier hair and I love the fact that it's a black owned, family operated brand that started from a real need and real care. Explore viral bestsellers and products of healthier hair for all types from Baskin lather. Go to baskinlatherco.com and use code breakfast club for 20 off.

They was telling me it's with me up on Young Ho. I was like, wow. Oh, no.
F
That's for like 25 and under.
B
Yeah, I seen an Asian dude say that the other day. Shut up, dumb Young Ho. Crazy Asian man. New York is wild, man. I'm telling you.
A
They do stuff like that. Only pack certain clothes knowing it's going to be cold.
F
Yeah, I thought it was going to be warm and outside, so I'm all right, though.
A
Y' all look beautiful.
E
Thank you.
B
Y' all on tour? They're still sipping tour. I'm looking at all these sold out dates, man. Y' all get money and y' all gonna be in New York on the 23rd. What? What is different about two dates in New York? Two dates?
D
I thought they said Saturday and Sunday.
F
Well, we have a show in Sunday in Charlotte, so right after the New York show, we heading out to Charlotte, New York, though. I know, but I'm saying it's two shows in a row, so that's why he thought it was two New York shows.
B
What's the difference between the live show and the poor mods podcast?
E
I feel like with the live show, it's a lot more interactive, so obviously the audience is going to be able to interact with us more. It's not going to be us just sitting down talking about top. Going to have some guests come on stage and stuff, but we're going to be playing games. We got a twerk contest.
F
It's.
E
It gets a little crazy at the lot.
D
Snacky is jumping into that twerk contest.
E
Okay.
A
That's what they was bringing you out for.
E
You going to be a part of the twerk contest doing that.
A
Come.
B
Don't listen to him. He want me so he want to see it.
F
That's what it was. I'm glad somebody remix his name. His uncle Baddy.
A
He.
B
Uncle Snacky got his own little.
F
I said, hold on. Tell me a minute.
E
I was like, who? No shout.
A
And he be letting him call him that. He started to name any other here twerking. He be dropping everything.
B
My twerk wind would be so stink.
E
Why you drinking your probiotic?
B
I am. I am. You right, you're right. And water. What makes twerk winds think.
E
I think they don't be getting in there enough. When they be cleaning. They probably just be cleaning the surface.
D
You said the twerk wind.
F
But twerk wind be funky sometimes.
E
You know when he clap.
F
Oh, yeah. And that wind come up and it don't smell Too fresh, you know, got to get in between them cheeks.
A
You do.
F
And see, a lot of times, they be afraid to put that soap on your hand.
D
You got to use your hand and
E
get in their hand.
B
Really more than a rack.
E
You got to use your hand and get in a. And then you got to use PH Balance washes down there. You can't just be using just regular body wash and regular soap.
D
I'm laughing because y' all explain it to him like, his twin is horrible,
B
but they talking to everybody who got thinking.
A
It's getting warm outside. Ain't nothing wrong with. You know what I mean?
E
We are helping a whole demographic.
B
Have y' all ever smelt work wind when y' all been on stage?
E
I. On stage?
F
I have. I'm sorry.
E
That one time. We're not gonna say who it was. It was bad because we looked at each other and we was like. And she probably thought we was doing that because she was doing a good job twerking, but that wasn't why.
D
What city? What city?
E
You know what? Envy. I don't even remember what city it was, but I do remember it was bad because we had to look at each other, and we had a whole debriefing session after the show.
F
It was crazy.
B
Why y' all give her that watch? Y' all be pretty promoting on the show.
F
Now we bringing it with us because we know better. Now shout out to Salt xl.
E
It's gonna be a part of that care package.
F
Yep.
B
You know y' all got one of the biggest podcasts out right now, right? Not just for. Well, definitely for black women, but just for black people. Why do you think authenticity is. Is winning for y' all right now?
E
Because I think people are tired of seeing people on the Internet being performative all the time. Like, I think one thing about Lex and I, we keep it real. We talk about relatable topics. We talk about things that people are afraid to touch on the process. We've still always just been true to who we are and true to ourselves, and people can see the growth. And I think they like the fact that it's been a documented process that you could see from 2017, 18, when we were, like, 27 and 28 to now.
B
I feel like it scares traditional media sometime, too, because I'll be. I'll look at people in the comments, and they'd be like, why they talking like that? It was like, they talking like regular people.
F
Yeah. And I think it scares a lot of the, like, bigger celebrities who kind of do want to sit down with us. But I think their teams are afraid, but I think they don't understand that we're balanced as well. Like, of course, the conversations that we have on solo episodes, we're not going to talk to, like, a Sierra with or something or a woman that's married. Like, we are very respectable when they come sit on the couch. So I think we're definitely changing media and how it looks because, you know, you used to have to not go on podcasts if you're doing a press run, but we have direct contact with the consumer, like, directly. You know, our YouTube page gets 1.7 million hits a month. So. Yeah, like, directly to them. So. Yeah. But I feel like people are also tired of clickbait stuff. Like, y' all are having conversations and saying stuff you don't even believe just because you want people to click on it. People's click, their. Their actual clips will be amazing, hilarious, entertaining. Then you go watch the actual show, and it's boring and it's not good. So I think we just really just be ourselves and actually just make good content.
D
How does it affect your love life, though? Right? Because y' all talk some crazy ish sometimes.
B
Alex got hoes. Dre is the pure angel.
E
I'm the sweet baby. I've been with somebody.
D
Wow. Wow. Somebody thought he was special. Somebody thought they were special, and they don't feel special anymore.
F
What's crazy, though, in real life, I'm really a lover girl. I am.
D
Why he just said that.
F
What? Cause Charlemagne is messy.
E
You know that. No, he be like a stir to pie.
A
I love y', all, but I realized something. When y' all went on your recent vacations, I ain't really see who you was with too much.
E
Oh, you.
A
I saw you and your homegirls.
F
Yeah, I was with my sister.
A
So that means you probably you dating, figuring it out, and you locked in. Is that what the dynamic is giving?
E
No, I'm not locked into anything.
D
Oh, dang.
E
I was actually.
A
Cause I was like, the way she
E
posted, the way she with. Yeah, now we ain't pay for it, but I was there with her, period.
A
But do you guys feel like. Because, I mean, y' all talk about everything, right? Like, do you feel like it actually impacts your dating life? Or, like, do they get to know y' all separately than the podcast, even though y' all are keeping it from the podcast too?
E
To be honest, at this point, I don't think it affects my dating life, because I don't allow it to, because I just feel like anybody who Wants to date me at this point. You see what I do. Like, the show is pretty big at this point. Like, I don't think it's something that I have to tell somebody if they're trying to get to know me. So you see what's going on, and you have to ask yourself, are you okay with it? I'm okay with what I do for a living, and I'm okay with the things we talk about, and I'm comfortable in who I am. So I think I need to be with a man who's very secure. I only feel like it will bother somebody that's insecure.
F
Yeah.
A
And y' all are like, not only are you talking about personal things, but
B
y' all are also business about her dating life. Don't just move off that conversation.
F
Let's get to it. Now, traveling is very safe for black women when we do it together. So I will say that I was very, very safe. Okay, next question, please.
A
You know, nothing on the date.
F
I mean, I have a great dating life. I'll say that. Is that fair?
D
Charlemagne said you got old. That's what it sound like when you say that.
A
Are y' all able to go out in public and be dating that?
F
I feel like people in Atlanta, they know. They know we be outside having a ball. Everybody in Atlanta know who I'm with. We be outside having a good time there.
A
So it's one person. Yes.
F
Oh, so you locked in.
E
Why you ain't curious?
F
Cause y' all in my business.
D
She sounds so marrying daddy.
F
I said when black women travel, it's very safe.
B
I saw you interviewing Belly gang cushions and getting all in this business. Oh, my gosh.
F
That's my job. Charlamagne.
E
That's their job, too.
F
I'm a journalist. Okay.
A
I'm a journalist with celebrities nowadays. Right. Cause they're seeing all of you guys. Interviews go viral. When they do hesitate, it's not like there's no way that they don't see how you guys handle other people. Like, what is the. Like, you ever had somebody that's like, okay, I don't want to come, but then you're like, no, no, no, let us get on the phone with them. What's the talk back to kind of make them change their mind if that happens?
F
I think, honestly, we will send them interviews that we've done with, like, high profile people. So it makes them more comfortable when they seem like we've had, like, a Wiz Khalifa, t. Pain and things like that sit on our couch. Things like that. People like that sit on our couch with us. So. And honestly, I think we're at the point now where we don't push back, because, honestly, like I said, we have such a large audience, and the way our interview style is, we show a different side of people. So I feel like if you don't want to come on Poor Minds, you're really missing out on a great opportunity to, like, connect with a lot of people that maybe not listen to your music or necessarily know who you are. So I think now we really don't give much pushback or let it hurt our feelings because we're like, the view's still going up.
E
Yeah. And I also agree with what you said as far as, like, the main thing we do is just send them the full video, because I think so many people see the clips on social media in the wildest stuff, be going viral all the time that we talk about. And I don't think people realize how layered the conversations actually are and that we talk about a plethora of other things other than just sex.
F
And she says words like, ple. We know what we doing.
B
Other people don't realize y' all are college educated.
E
Yeah.
B
Y' all got degrees in communications and journalism?
E
Yeah.
F
Yes.
E
Yeah, we do.
B
Y' all should flex that more.
A
Like, I mean, I feel like we
F
talk about it, but I feel like at this point, it doesn't even matter, though, because I feel like if you watch the show and you want to like us, you're going to. And at this point, how far we've come and how long we've been doing this, it's like, if you don't want to like us, that's just a choice that you're making. And us saying that we're having a. We have a degree is not going to make a difference.
B
But I think y' all represent that. That new era of media, right, where you can go to school, you can get your journalism degree, get your communications degree. Instead of waiting around for a TV station or a radio station, y' all started a podcast.
C
That's right.
F
Yes, that's true.
E
And that's literally why we're in the traditional way.
F
We could not. I could not get on any radio station in Houston, anyone in Atlanta. It was. So we was like, let's just do something ourselves.
E
Yeah.
A
That's how I started.
D
How many times do you have to check dudes in your DMs? And whose job is it to check it? Because I could feel. Dudes listen to a podcast and feel like they could get disrespectful so how many times did that happen?
A
Or you know what?
E
I don't really get too many disrespectful messages in my DM from me and I be just getting inappropriate messages. Okay, so like them trying to holler. Them sending like dick pics, that type of stuff.
F
They want to smell that twerk when
E
them asking for old panties. Like stuff like that.
B
Really? You know, wiling.
E
Vacation photos.
F
Yeah.
A
Okay. The vacation photos for they go crazy. I was I be in all of you guys in the bodies and the things. But what's the craziest DM you've guys gotten in response to that recently? Cuz those photos is recent.
F
You know what's crazy with poor minds? Like when I first started I had like 80, 90 male following. Now it's mostly women that follow me.
E
Yeah.
F
So it's nothing crazy. It's mostly women in my DMs, women in my comments, and that's how I love it. So honestly, I don't get anything out crazy just because my following has changed so much. It's mostly women following me.
A
Have you guys ever explored the dm and like, all right, I'm gonna do this. You're gonna date a little bit. Like has anything beneficial came from the DM?
E
I used to look through my DMs, but now I feel like it's so hard to filter through what's genuine and what's not with the space that we're in. Like how do I. You really want to date me for real? Cuz you want to date me cuz you're interested or do you want to date me because I'm Dre from Poor Mine?
F
I know that, right?
E
No, see, but seriously, you too? I feel like it's the same thing. Like how do you know these days I feel like back in the day when me and used to slide in my dms, they genuinely was just sliding in there. Cuz they probably thought I was cute and they was interested. Now I don't know if it's just that or do you want to date me because of what I got going on?
B
Are they more polite on Facebook?
E
I don't be on Facebook.
F
I'll be on Facebook, but I don't be doing nothing on there. I'll be posting. Because you make money on Facebook.
E
Yeah, we gotta pour. Mine's Facebook.
F
Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. I feel like dms aren't the same anymore. Like people don't really slide in dms because people be blasting folks. So like the, the Men that you would probably want in your dms, they really not gonna slide because they probably slid before and somebody screenshotted it, sent it to the shade room, stuff like that.
E
Or I sent it to y'. All.
F
Yeah.
B
Lauren get them all the time after
E
they sent it to y'. All.
A
Oh, but I wouldn't do. I wouldn't expose stuff like that. Yeah, I feel like.
B
I mean, she'll call y' all and be like, hey, I just want y' all to know Such and such DM'd you. I'm going to talk about it.
F
But no, no, no, no. I wouldn't do.
A
If somebody sent me a DM conversation they were having, I wouldn't do that. But if you get on y', all, like, if a DM situation happens and then y' all get on your platform and you talk about it. Yeah, then I'm gonna talk about it, and I'm gonna talk about the DM if I got it. And I'll probably let you know, hey, I had gotten this. Whatever. Whatever. But I feel like stuff like that, I'd be thinking, like, certain things should be off limits, like the bedroom police thing. I think that there is a boundary that, like, you would want to draw only because you're thinking about, like, now. I think a lot more about my own personal life. Like, what don't I want people to be minding my business about?
F
Right, Exactly. Exactly.
D
But does that make you nervous when you're dating all three of you? Like, because if you're dating men, right. And it could always go bad. It could always go wrong. Are you ever worried about he's going to say this outside of this relationship?
B
With old pictures?
A
Yeah.
B
And especially with pictures. Yeah.
E
Think about that.
D
Does that bother you? Does that worry y' all at all?
E
No, not really. It doesn't bother me or worry me because I feel like he the one that's gonna look stupid, not me, if he started, like, I don't know, as a man, to me, that's not manly. As a man, why are you, like. That's corny. You the one that's gonna look crazy.
D
Guys are comfortable.
E
It's gonna blow over after, like, a week or so. Nobody gonna care.
A
And also, I know y' all know what. What shots to send. Like, y' all know what y' all doing if you're sending them.
E
We do.
A
We do.
E
We were talking about this yesterday in
A
the interview we did yesterday.
E
We was talking about how we used to always share our news with each other, and it was like, nothing but booty hole. In.

You've been working in the garage with your dad every week, Monday to Sunday, trying to get the old school up and running. Today, after all the hard work, y' all finally finished it. So you have that feeling of accomplishment. You did it. Then your dad throws you the keys and says those three magic words. All yours, son. Yep, that same car belonged to your grandpa and that your dad helped him fix. It's yours. Three generations right there keeping the tradition alive. But if you ask dad to really keep the tradition going, you need to get insurance. And you already know you need to get State Farm. Because your agent, well, he gets tradition too. His dad was an agent, his grandpa too. So he gets you generation to generation. Remember to choose the agents that your family counted on. Like a good neighbor. State Farm is there.
D
Yo, what up, y'?
E
All?
D
It's DJ Envy from the Breakfast Club. Now check this out. The first phone call that ever happened happened over 150 years ago. 150 years. That's before any of this. Before radio, before social media, before all the ways we stay connected. Today, that one call really started everything. And fast forward to now. It's springtime, the weather's breaking, people outside vibes are right again. Thank God. And it got me thinking, who haven't you talked to in a minute? And you know, through all these years and all these conversations, AT&T has been there, connecting people in meaningful ways. This is more than a story of technological innovation. It's really a story about human connection, real people, real moments and real relationships. So we celebrate over 150 years of connection. Let this be your reminder. Don't wait. Make that call. Send that text. Pull up on somebody you care about. Because at the end of the day, those connections, that's what really matters.
E
Connecting changes everything. AT&T.
A
Okay, so quick behind the scenes moment about my business because people always ask me like, how do I actually run everything? So Shopify is literally the platform where I turn this tiny idea into a business. Before this, I was really just like popping up at any in person event, any vending opportunity I could, which I still do, but I wasn't really as focused online. I was like, you know, the websites are going to be too much to build out. I'm not like a super techie person, even though I can make things cute. And I didn't want to put up a website that would run my customers away. I wanted it to be efficient, to be easy. And Shopify helped me build brown girlgrinding.com out. Once I switched to Shopify, it finally clicked like, okay, I can actually do this. It's not about it being tough. It's about using the right platform to make it easy. Shopify takes all of the guesswork out. I build my own store, I manage my community, own my own customer relationships. Plus, this is my favorite thing. Shopify gets my products everywhere. I'm able to link stuff through Google, YouTube, TikTok, shop the shop app, even chat, GPT and Instagram, which is very important for me. And Shopify's AI co founder, sidekick, game changer, let me tell y'. All, right? So it's helped me not only optimize my site, it helps me look at my sales trends, it updates my product skills, all the stuff I'm absolutely not an expert in. But it's like having a genius business partner that never sleeps. And right now, the Bronco grinding storefront and the Black Effect storefront is busy and Shopify is handling all of the heavy lifting. I love that for us. I am pumped, like so pumped that Shopify is going to show up at the Black Effect Podcast festival this year in a big way. And I will be there preaching this platform to all of the small black owned businesses that partner with us. So if you've been sitting on an idea or if you're ready to scale, which you've already started, this is your sign. Go to shopify.com Ben, if I can do it, you can do it too.
F
Because I know exactly what that chocolate starfish look like.
E
She do.
B
Asking for booty holes.
A
Yeah,
F
Yeah, but I mean, I like to bend over, show them a little surprise anyway. A little peekaboo. Ain't nothing wrong.
D
How do you send a text? Hey, babe, what's up? Hey girl, let me show you my booty hole.
F
No, we would just be like, oh, is this fire? What y' all think about this one?
D
You send pictures of your booty hole too?
A
No, I don't send my booty hole to anybody.
F
Shut up.
D
First of all.
B
You gotta have a booty.
F
Exactly. Don't do her.
E
He always hates crazy.
D
This in the hole is crazy.
B
That is crazy.
F
That's crazy.
B
I'm sorry.
D
That's crazy.
B
What made y' all want to get in shape the way y' all did now? You gonna go for this?
E
I don't know. I was just tired of, like, looking out of shape and not feeling my best. So I got a trainer back in 2023. Shout out to Mr. Reggie. I had got a trainer, and I was working out with him for like a year and a half. And I just fell in love with working out because prior to that, I was always the type of girl who would work out for a few months and then stop, Work out for a few months and then stop. So I was just never consistent. So now it's been three years of me being consistent. And I have a new trainer now. Her name shout out to her. And yeah, I just love the way I feel. And most importantly, I just love the way I look in my clothes.
B
You did like, what, a 75 day? What was it?
E
I did 75 hard this year, and I did it last year, too. 75 hard?
D
What is that?
E
Yeah, it's like 75 days. You don't drink, you're eating really clean, you're working out every single day. You have to read a page from a book every day. It consists of a lot of things, and a lot of people like to modify it for what? Work, for their lifestyle. They even have a version of it called 75 software. Like, you can still drink in moderation on the weekends. But I did the 75 hard.
B
What did you do, Lex? Why you didn't do the 75?
F
I did 75 days of drinking, turning up, and twerking off. But I do work out. But honestly, the reason I wanted to do it for sure, like, make sure I'm healthy, is cause I'm getting older. And I noticed, like, okay, my back not feeling the same like it did yesterday and last tour. I remember being on stage and being out of breath. Cause we running around, like, we do a lot at our live show. So I was like, you know what? I really want to be prepared for this tour, be in shape and just feel good. So I'm more so of like, cardio. Get up, move your body, make sure I'm eating healthy and stuff like that. Because a lot of these videos too, when you see yourself on stage, was like, oh, I was getting a little thick. See, we be thinking we thick and we be borderline fat. Yeah, I know.
E
That's like our last tour.
B
You can use fat. You say how much?
E
I've lost like 20 pounds since our last tour. Yeah, I was like 175 back when we was on tour in 2023.
B
Yeah, you can fact that we heard a good one this morning. A woman called from the airport she worked at. She didn't say what airlines. Southwest. She said we call them customers of size.
F
Okay.
E
Yes, I was a
F
customer of size.
B
Customer of size.
F
Yes.
A
Well, I think it's just been really interesting since I first discovered you guys. Watching you guys go from like trying to figure it out to like becoming literally like a part of culture and conversation. I don't know if you feel the shift when you're in it on you guys side, but if so, can you talk about, like, when you knew that things were turning. For me is when saw you guys in a Summer Walker video, y' all
F
were already on fire.
A
But I was like, yes. Like someone is understanding that, like, you got to see them to know that something is lit.
F
Yeah.
E
For me, I would say it was last year when we got the opportunity to do travel Queens and we had our own reality show. I just thought that was such a big deal because obviously these days with reality shows, a lot of the time it's an ensemble cast. So I thought it was crazy and dope that like two black women that have a podcast are getting our own reality show and we the main two people on it.
F
Yeah, I agree. I feel like now it's kind of the point where it's like if you do a press run and you don't include poor minds, like, that's really, really crazy. And then the people are saying it, not even us, you know, so. Cause a lot of times sometimes people be on a press run, they're like, why didn't such and such come on poor minds? I was like, oh, dang, I didn't even know. So I think it's actually like an honor to be, you know, talking to a lot of people who have been in the game for a long time and giving us our flowers and stuff. Because sometimes we do feel like the industry doesn't really pay attention to us or we don't get the accolades that we, you know, deserve. But it just makes us want to work harder because we still have, you know, a lot to prove, not only to the world, but just to ourselves as well.
E
Yeah.
A
What else would y' all want, though, from the industry?
F
Like, I feel like it's a lot of things. Like, it's A lot of, like, you know, you see people getting awarded, like, podcasts of the year or, you know, people doing, like, red carpets at, like, the Emmys or Grammys and stuff. We see all these influencers they're interviewing and stuff. It's like, those are things that we would like to be, you know, included in on. And sometimes we still be having to fight for to be included in things too. So I think as far as the culture goes, like, they see us everywhere, but it's like, we really don't be everywhere that we want to be.
A
Yeah.
E
Yeah, I agree.
A
Yeah.
E
I'm sorry. I was just gonna say, like, even with payment, like, sometimes we still be having to struggle to prove to people that we're worth getting paid. What we request.
D
I was gonna ask, what's your favorite city and why, when y' all do this tour?
E
Favorite city. Of course. I have to say Houston is one of my favorite cities. Houston is always lit like, it's nothing like hometown love. But also we always say Detroit really surprised us. Like, that's one of our favorite cities to tour in. Like, the. The crowd was lit. They didn't stand. They didn't sit down the whole time.
F
Yeah, it was a good time. That's same for me.
A
I love.
F
I actually love Dallas too, but Dallas is. When I got hit by a car.
E
What she did.
F
I got hit by a car. I was too. I. I seen it too lit, trying to cross the street.
B
So you was drunk and hit a car?
F
Oh, no, the car hit me. Oh, they hit me so hard. I thought my BBL flew off.
A
Chad.
F
It was a mess. We were.
E
We were in Dallas, downtown Dallas, and
F
it was literally the night before the show. So I was on stage, though, the next day, twerking.
B
Did you die a little bit?
F
I did. My watch flew off. It was.
E
She definitely failed.
F
I fell. I was rolling on the ground. Me too. You ain't sped off?
E
No, it was a hidden rain.
F
He didn't even check to see if I was alive. He probably still think I'm dead to this day.
B
Were you. Were you walking in the crosswalk or something?
F
Yeah.
E
Yeah, we all are.
F
Yeah.
B
So how you the only one got hit?
F
I don't know.
B
To walk like geese.
F
I don't know what. Cuz she was.
E
I'll tell you what happened, cuz she was drunk and she wasn't paying attention.
F
Yeah, I really was.
E
She wasn't paying attention.
F
I probably was. You know, I like the same Charlemagne.
E
And the light had turned and the car had went past the light and Hit her.
B
How did y' all react?
E
We was like. We ran over there.
F
Yeah, it was bad. Not funny. It wasn't funny then, but it's funny
E
now because it wasn't funny then. He hit her really hard. Like you could hear it. Damn, it was loud.
F
It was a lot.
B
Did you heard anything? Did you go to the hospital?
F
I did. You know, I was like a little sore the next day, but I was like, after a day, I was really fine.
B
Oh, don't fight.
E
That's how you know she signed.
F
No, we went home. I killed the vibes. Oh. I killed the whole night knowing you went out that night and was just. I wanted to. I was like, are we done?
A
All right, lit.
E
Cause if I would have got hit, I would have been a goner.
B
What kind of car was it?
F
It was a Camaro. I remember he sped off too. It sound like fast interference in that, man. I said, oh, he was gone.
D
White dude, a black dude.
F
I couldn't see.
E
We couldn't tell. The windows was tinny.
F
Yeah, he was gone.
A
Are there ever episodes that y' all put out and then like, when they go viral, y' all are like, dang, we wish that we could have, like, not put that person in that situation. I'm specifically speaking about when y did the crossover episode with Savannah James.
F
Oh.
A
And she talked about being the strip club being her favorite place. And it was such a light hearted girl on girl, like, girlfriends conversation. But the way that they took it, they started talking about NBA families and what people should and shouldn't talk about and all this.
F
Oh, I didn't even see that.
A
I didn't see that girl got a
B
different algorithm than everybody else.
A
Yes, they did. And I feel like even on her podcast, I think she does the same thing where she gets really up close and personal because she's talking to her best friend. But it picked up a lot when it was with y' all four. Like, people were surprised that she just has a life.
F
Yeah. I think honestly with us, like I said, we're very careful and we always are aware of who we're talking to. So I think that's just. That comes with the territory because people assume certain things about me and Draya and that, like, oh, my gosh, Savannah James is talking to these whores. You know what I'm saying? So I think things always get blown out of context. But I feel like the people who support us, that's who matters, because they know what the conversation is. And the same thing with their listeners. They know what she meant and how it was being said, these people that are always trying to drag us, cancel us, These are the people that aren't buying tickets. They're not watching the show. They just want to clip something and go viral themselves so that stuff don't matter.
B
And y' all not a whores.
F
We're not.
E
I don't know why she be saying that.
B
I just don't like it.
F
But I'm saying that's what the people be saying about us. You know what I'm saying? But like I said, I'll make a joke about it because call them like I've been called worse.
B
Y a college educated.
F
We are. We 1000%.
E
We boss these.
F
And I think that the proof is in the pudding. Like, we're definitely more than what people try to say we are. And that's why they're mad, because they want to put us in this box, and they can't.
B
And what's crazy, when you meet, you know, I guess these women who have a. A different image, they talk just like y', all, just not publicly.
A
Yeah, they could.
E
Yeah.
B
Freedom to.
E
And that's what I was going to say. Like, I think I would probably feel bad if somebody said. If somebody came on the. Then they said something to us about a clip that went viral. But I feel like Savannah, she used to it. She know people on the Internet is gonna create their own narrative. And she's so cool, and she's so down to earth. Like Charlamagne said. I think a lot of time people fail to realize, like, these people are normal people. Yes, she goes to the strip club just like everybody else do.
A
And people be determined to misunderstand, too, because she was talking about going to, like, Area 29, which is a girl. Like, women are in a strip club, but people thought she was talking about being in a male strip club. And like, they just. Who goes to see Uncle Baddy's work? He would never make it any. You would be so tired and ready to go home. They be calling your name.
E
He be like, he went home two hours ago.
B
Y' all ever saw when Lauren was
F
on the pole, baby?
D
Yo, that was hilarious. I don't even know why she posted it.
B
Show them the video before I do.
E
Trying to play my girl.
A
I don't like that they so mad that it should be given
B
body in there. Not a dollar throw.
A
It was just me and my boyfriend in there.
F
Yeah, you got to dance for your man. I know. That's right. No, we don't like male strip clubs.
E
No, we don't. Not at all.
F
I'm not a thing.
A
I was about to say something else, but I stop myself. Yes. It's not a thing. People don't. I don't know anybody that just wants to go to.
F
Well, I feel like it's like maybe
E
older women, they like to go to m strip clubs, especially like in Vegas and stuff. Cuz they had. That did. Do they still have the Magic Mike show?
F
I don't know.
B
They got it in me. I'm asking me, how do y' all balance business and friendship so well?
E
I think we balance it really well because we're not afraid to have the hard conversations. If it's something going on between licks and I, we sit down, we have a conversation about it. And most importantly, we don't take business into our personal life and we don't take personal issues into the business.
B
Yeah.
F
And this like when podcasts break up, they get online dissing each other, liking comments. It's so weird, you know, And I feel like when you really low key kind of feel some way about somebody, it's always gonna come out.
E
Yeah.
F
And when people start businesses together, podcasts, whatever the situation may be, it's like you never really cared for this person or like this person. You just thought it was a good idea because you see what everybody else is doing.
E
Yeah.
F
So I think the proof is more so of like our friendship. Like we really actually love each other. Like outside of all this stuff, there's genuine love there. So that's why you never, you're never gonna see a poor mind split breakup fighting on the Internet. Like that's never gonna happen. And I can say that in confidence. People gonna be like, watch your words. But I'm just like, when you know somebody, you know somebody, you know people. Yeah.
D
I'm going at Charlamagne. I'm gonna talk about all the times he grabbed my ass.
F
I'm sorry, but you let him and then you become a part to give us an exclusive. Actually, you want to talk about.
E
Because you can't grab nobody ass unless they let you.
A
I. I have a video, cuz how
F
many times did it happen?
A
I had a video of Charlamagne using a massage situation on.
F
Video.
A
It be a lot going on in here. He was over here all in his space using this electric massage thing.
F
Oh, it was electric.
E
They be getting a little spicy in here. Y' all gonna dim the lights.
A
What did original do? Take Lynn off of you or something? What's that thing you asked that I got video?
B
How you feel about leather and lace?
A
Leather and lace,
D
It's too much.
F
I like it.
B
You don't think like a person. Look like they going to a funeral and a bad boy reunion toilet at the same time.
E
I love multi purpose houses.
F
Go to the funeral, go see your man. Then go to the club.
D
Then you got to go to school, cuz you got penny loafers on, right?
A
If I bust this open, we go sit by the bar. I got my heels in the car. I already know what I got going on. I know what I'm doing. I be covered and looking the way I should.
B
At I a notice that you had that on. I was just asking questions.
A
Shut up. You can't see from all the way over there.
B
That's crazy.
A
I'm trying to find that video.
D
So what should we expect from the New York show?
B
Of course it'll be in New York this weekend.
D
What should we expect?
F
It's going to be just a good time. I always say it's like a slumber party, but, like, me and Dre are there, so it's like a girls night out and Corey course, date night, whatever you want to do. And you get a chance to really party with us, talk with us. Like, a lot of people watch the show and they're like, oh, my gosh, I want to sit on the couch and talk with y'.
D
All.
F
So it's like, this is your chance to do that. So it's really a turn up. Good time. Sometimes with shows, we cry, we laugh. It's just a ball of fun. So it's not like your typical podcast show where we're just sitting on the couch and talking the whole time. It's very interactive and it's very, very fun.
B
