We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. My girls. Lex P, Andrea, Nicole. Podcast. What's up, guys? We're back. We're back again. I know. How y' all feeling? Great. Good. Feeling really good. Yeah. Happy to be here. Happy to see y'. All. Yes. It's been too long, y'. All Got the new show, Travel Queen. First of all, I'm happy to see y' all just evolving. Poor Mind's podcast is a hit before mine's podcast Evolving now. Y' all got the Travel Queens TV show on bet. It's a docu series. How'd that come about? 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 then we filmed the whole show in two weeks. Cocoa Butter, I know that's a black woman on production. Yeah. No, it's actually not white people. It's a white kind of black. Ian and Tim. Shout out to Ian and Tim. They smart. Yeah. So what is Travel Queens about? Where y' all going? What y' all doing? So we went to four different cities. We went to Cartagena, New Mexico City, Key West. Key west and Charleston. So it's basically 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, and just how to be safe and have a good time. I think right now in 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 is like, who fighting, throwing drinks in people's face. So I really think it's refreshing to see two black women who are really friends just having good, innocent fun. We not talking about men and dating and gender wars and all this stuff. It's just good fun. But what about the ladies that are watching it? Like, well, how am I going to be able to fly myself out? Don't start, Uncle Baddie. We have graduated from that. But y' all flying y' all stuff out on this show. But actually, bet Coco Butterfly works out. That's right. 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? You can do a road trip. We went to Key west, so you can drive to Key West. You know what I'm saying? You don't have to necessarily fly. 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 Maldives and, you know, staying at the Four Seasons. It's very budget friendly stuff. Yeah. And I think that was the point of the show. 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. So if a guy was flying y' all out, y' all still want to go to those destinations. Yeah, but I probably would have did something different. I ain't gonna lie. Charleston is beautiful, though. I mean, Charleston is beautiful, but I'm not getting Key west is one of them little ducked off. I remember taking to Key west before. Plus I wasn't threw out by cocoa butter, but you know. Yes, yes, yes, yes. But that. That usually the older gentlemen fly you out. Yes. It's a very, like, quiet town. You can definitely sneak off there with a. With a. I had never been to Key west before. That was my first time. It was, you know, it was cool water, blue. The water was blue. That's a fact. That's what Leo litle took you. Cuz they going to be conf. So I just told them that when the older guys perform fellatio, they don't really know the kungalingus. Okay. When they doing that, they say because they see they don't have teeth anymore. You know, they trying to figure out where it is. Especially the ones with glasses. You know, when they slip down on the nose and they say they be doing it with the glasses. I like that. I feel like it's going to get a little foggy from the body just a little bit. I'm like, okay, I need me a little. Yes, you'll find it in Key West. Next time y' all go. So out of the four cities y' all went to, which one did you like the best and why Mexico City? Because it was just so nice. 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 B night while we were out there. We went to a black vegan restaurant. It reminded me a lot of the United States. But just in Mexico City, I feel like out of everywhere that we went, that was my favorite place. I'm not gonna lie. I keep saying that Charleston surprised me too, like that I've never been to Charleston and I have really close friend of mine that lives out there and he's been trying to get me to come out there forever. And I was like, what is in Charleston? Like, isn't that a dance? Like, I was like, I'm not going out There. Isn't that the dance? That's not. But I was so surprised. Like, people be taking the nice boats out. The food is good. I had a ball in Charleston. Like, I'm actually planning a trip to go back. Charleston is beautiful. That's home. Mexico City is nice too, though. It is. A lot of people moving there. Yeah. My husband's family's from there. Really? Yeah, I know. That's right. Husband, period. Okay. Cuz he trying it. Do y' all both like to travel already? Yeah. Oh, yeah. And we already traveled together a lot anyway, so we feel like that's why it was the perfect show for us. Y' all get tired of each other at all. Like, you know what? You go your way, I'll go out my way. Absolutely. Why are you say no? She was gonna say no. She was like, no. She like, absolutely. We're neighbors, so we literally live in Atlanta. 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 pool. So she would be like waving at me from the pool. No, she. I followed her. I did. Cuz they started building a building. I said, I'm in the move right next door to my sweetie poo. Get tired. You know what's crazy? I think when 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 34, I'm 35. We grown women, we don't have anything to fight about. And honestly, I think it's so crazy when people have podcasts and they make so much money and they be arguing. What do we got to be mad about? You know, we have so much fun. Like, to be able to travel the world with your best friend and have a business. It's great. It's fun. How is it when y' all get in relationships, though? Oh, 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. 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 like, we like to be like, last year we went to Turks for her birthday. 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. We have balance for sure. So y' all still booed up, you know? You know, you know, they watching right now, like, damn crazy. Just in a rocky place. Just in a rocky place. We gonna see what happens. It's complicated figuring it out. Yeah. Which is crazy, right? Cause 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 breakup at the same time, so. But it's not, like, in a bad space. No. Yeah. It's not like, we're cool. It's cool. We're figuring it out type situation y each other up. Like, girl, leave him. All right, I'mma leave him if you leave him or if you know what's crazy. 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 supportive of what she want to do. As long as it's not a physically violent situation or something that you need to leave that's abusive or anything like that. I try to be supportive of my friends, and I get it. When you love somebody, you want to stay with your man. It's hard out here. Y' all all me, Y' all all married. Y' all all got. Y' all know. All right. She like, I know you, right? I was being y' all here, and I don't know why I stood it. You was just in love last year, Lex. I still am in love. I'm very much in love. 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? So it's cool. We gonna figure it out, you know. What have y' all learned about yourselves from doing the podcast? 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. And I've just 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 don't know, I just want to be transparent. 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, it was just so many people in such an outpouring of love, people saying, I've been through 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. About you. I think with me, I am 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, this is who I am. I think for when I first started, like, being on social media, I was, like, doing the bikini pics and posing by the pool, and I'm like, girl, this is not you at all. 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 be. Because people always love to say. Because I know you hear this a lot, they be like, oh, funny. Women aren't pretty. Or you have to. Either you funny or you're pretty. You can't be both. You know what I'm saying? So I feel like I used to try to lean into being the pretty girl, and then I would try to lean to be the funny girl, and I'm like, you know what? I don't have to be in anybody's box. You know what I'm saying? So. But you always been sexy. You just don't give off sex. Like you said, like, you're just not prissy. You're just. Yeah, well, we talked about this on the show. There's a difference between, like, having sex appeal and, like, being attractive. Like, Dre just is, like, sexy. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? She just walking around, she's like, hey. Oh, yeah. You know, that's how she is. You can have both, though. Yeah, you have both. You know, like. Like I said, I just think, like, being sexual, sex appeal is something that's just from the inside. I feel like. Yes. And 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 baddie. Uncle baddie. 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. For sure. Growing out loud is hard. Yes. You know, and that's what y' all been doing the last seven years on that podcast. Literally, 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 be like, oh, we in love. And then the next month, we talking about a different dude, and they were like, oh, my God, 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 say, when I moved to Atlanta, I had $3 because I 100 did. Like, I wasn't lying. So I think it's important to be transparent, especially as a black woman in this industry. I feel like we always try to hide what we making, because I'm like, oh, this company signed up for your ass. How much they paying you? Cause this. How much they paying us? Let's make sure that they not. You know what I'm saying? So I think. 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 a thousand percent for sure. How was Columbia how was that? You know what? It's really fun. So that was my second time going to Colombia, my first time going to Cardina, because the first Columbia, the country. Yeah. Good cocaine out there. Now how you know, you said that to me in my dm. You seen I was in Columbia. I don't know. You are crazy. They're pure white. I am weak. So, yeah. But I mean, funny enough, I think that's what people think of though, when you think of going to Colombia, you think of the cartel and stuff because like, like I said, I went to Med ien a few years ago to get my teeth done and I was scared to leave from the area where my hotel was and where my dog. That crazy. I mean, I was just nervous to travel around because that's what you hear about Colombia. So when we went to Cardina, I had a really, really good time. And then especially with us going to Palinque, which is the 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 Palink, we felt like we were somewhere in Ghana, in Nigeria. Like, these people look like our cousins, our family members. It was just amazing being there and being submerged in the culture. Why'd you go all the way to Columbia to get your teeth done? Because it was cheaper. Oh, I know, that's right. I think here was like 30, 000. I, you know, I'm getting a little money, but piece of the planet Charlamagne, the God here now, you know, the end of the year is when, like a lot of business owners, I really lock in. All right, this is the time to set the foundation for next year. You got new ideas, new product drops new goals. And when I'm building anything meaningful, I need the right tools. That's why I always tell folks, especially black entrepreneurs and small black owned businesses, Shopify is the move, okay? We use it at the Black Effect podcast network. And I've seen firsthand how it helps creators and business owners grow with confidence. Entrepreneurship is very important to me, okay? There's nothing wrong with working for people. There's nothing wrong with partnering people. But you should strive to own your own as well. And Shopify can help others grow into entrepreneurs. It's like having a whole team behind you. Your chief of staff, your personal assistant, your co founder, all in one platform. Whether you're running a side hustle or a full storefront selling locally or worldwide, Shopify takes all the guesswork out. Shopify brings everything into one place you can sell on your website, on social media, and even in the real world. Like some of of our partners at our Black Effect festival coming up in April. Wherever your people are, Shopify makes sure your business can meet them where they're at. Plus, you got Shopify Sidekick and their AI tools. Total game changers. I love how it's like having an assistant giving you insights, content ideas, edits. Shopify's got your next move covered. So let me ask you this. If you're ready to take the next step in your life, whether it's merch products or anything in between, get on shopify.com be that's shopify.com ben and make it happen. It is time to stop putting off your future and start your new role as your own boss. Today on ebay. Every find has a story. Like if you're looking for a vintage band tee. Not just a tee.

Still living in your memory. Rent free forever. See, the things you love have a way of finding their way back to you. But ebay isn't just for getting what your ex stole back.

This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Jenny Garth, host of the I Heart podcast. I choose me to discuss the new Audible adaptation of the timeless Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice. This is not a trick question with no wrong answer, what role would I play? You know what? I can see you as Mr. Darcy. You got a little call in first. Okay, that's really sweet. I appreciate that. But are you sure I'm not the dad? I'm not Mr. Bennett. Here. Listen to Earsay the Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

They get front teeth for the whole row. Or they get the top done and don't get the bottom done. And it's like, come on, you gotta get the texture. Like, I think that's why my teeth look so natural, because he made like the texture. And how do men treat y' all when they see y' all from out outside of where y' all usually are outside of Atlanta? What you mean? What do you mean? Because Atlanta, you know, they see beautiful women, but sometimes they might not see that in Colombia, like. Like Americans. DJ Envy says Columbia got ugly women. That's the headline. All women in Colombia are busted. You know what? 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. 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, being like, oh, my God, I know y' all from the pot, or, oh, my God, we're saying, hey. And then when we were in Colombia, it's a little different because we had cameras around us. Got you. 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 se, if that makes sense. When you said they, 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 the editing process? Or you just, like, y' all trusted them, and you just, like the way they ended up editing the episodes. Yeah, we didn't know anything, girl. We've seen everything. When everybody el. We didn't know how they were gonna end. We was on the plane last night watching the episode for the first time. So are y' all nervous for every episode that come up? You know what? Well, I'm not nervous now. I was nervous of how my body was gonna look because I. I just lost 30 pounds. Okay. Congratulations. Thank you. Okay, so I. When we shot, I weighed, like, 205. Okay. 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, like, people always tend to think I'm pregnant. They be like, lex pregnant. I'm like, oh, my God. Can I just have a little shot of tequila? Yeah. I had a little, you know, enchilada. Right. So I was really more so nervous about my body after I saw the first episode. But I was like, okay, body tea. How'd you leave? It's good. A trip to Columbia. That pure coke or what was it you said? What? Oh, no, honestly, I. I used to be a girl. I used to do everything under the sun. You know, the first time I went to Columbia, it was for my bba. So y' all talking about. Y' all know Columbia for the coke. I know Columbia for them good doctors. But I just did it 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. It wasn't the Ozempic. It wasn't the Ozempic. I don't like needles. I couldn't do that to myself. But no, no one's in Now. I need some advice. I have a single friend. Uh. Oh. She has a closet full of wigs. Terrible wigs. Make sure you say terrible wigs. Oh, you know who the friend is? I do. Sadly. She has a bunch of wigs. Curly one day is straight, different colors. She's funny, she's smart. She switches up her wigs like a Netflix series. 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 or if they're just confused. How would you suggest she meet somebody to secure a relationship? Because time is running out, and so are her wigs. Damn. But why did you include the stuff about the wigs? That's what I was about to ask. What do you think about wigs? You think the wig might be the reason why she can't find a man? I mean, think about it. Just think 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, made the bait a little stronger for the fish. Okay, well, you know, what kind of men are she. Is she trying to date? Because, you know, they say they like bad wigs. They do the hard. They love a crunchy wig. Maybe she quite. She not dating in the right way. They love a crunchy wig. They love a crunchy, stale wig. My wig used to be crunchy. I could not keep the bre off of me. They love a stiff wig. Oh, they do. But I will say this. We were actually just having this conversation. We was literally just talking about this. They do. They love a stiff wig. They have that saying, hard wig, soft life. So you said. I didn't make that up. Charlotte Never heard. They do say that. They say that maybe she should look at a white. A different pool. She's in the wrong pool. She might be in the wrong pool. 1. 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 going to attract the right person. I enjoy being polished. I used to have a stiff wig or two. You know, I still got one of them. She does, she does. But for memories. You like for us. I called her. I Said when she wins her first Emmy, I'm going to put it on ebay in August. It's still got the ponytail. It's going to be a collector's item. And it still has the scrunchie on it and everything. It's in the ponytail. I got. We going to have to open up the phones at some point because I don't believe that. I've never heard the white men like stiff wig. They do. If you. You said stiff wig, hard life, hard wig, soft life. Who told you this? I lived it. I lived it. I'm serious. If you go look on TikTok right now and type hard wig, soft life, life, you're gonna see nothing but interracial couples. So why didn't you stick with the white man? Because I wanted a man. You wanted a hard life. I wanted a hard life with a hard man. I wanted to struggle with my black kings. I wanted to struggle. I wanted to hold it down. She wanted to struggle with some raw Indians. Did any of the teachings of Dr. Umar influenced you to dump that white man? You know what people hate when I say this? I love doctor. I do, too. Black queens forever. Snow bunnies. First of all, I haven't. They talking about me. Talking about I got a bad wig. Can't find him at first. Stop playing with me in this room. It's so nice to meet y'. All. Hey, your wig looks beautiful. Boy, a hard wig won't holler. Won't he, boy? A hard wig? What? What is you talking about? I'm talking about you talking about her in that sat. First of all, the sassy neck normally comes from over here, but you and your sats on all over there, spinning around looking at me. Nobody talking about messy. Exactly. So I had to come in here and let you know a source close to my wig will holler. Nobody talking about her. A hard wig. Wol Holl is dying. Nice to meet y' all, ladies. And I love the show. I think y' all look 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 tape. Oh, my God. That's stiff neck. You keep talking about hardware. Talk about that hard dye that's dried over there. Damn. Yeah, I think your wig is beautiful, too. I like it. I love a ball. Yeah, me too. I was going to ask y', all, too. How do y' all balance? Like turning up for the show? Cuz you still got to perform, right? Cuz it's still a TV show but then being present for the moments that you're experiencing like those cultural moments in those cities. You know what's crazy? We didn't really drink that much but honestly we stopped drinking a lot on Poor Minds cuz it was like some cringy episodes and we just like oh my God. It was the Houston Live show. Houston Live show really changed. It was so embarrassing because we recorded the show and then we went back and watched it when we got back to Atlanta and it was just so cringy. We was on stage like yeah, Lex, let's turn up a two shot minimum before we go on stage and then we'll have like a drink on stage. But we have one drink, we're on stage and that's it. Once we done with that drink. You're done. Yeah. That first Houston show, we drunk that whole bottle. Yeah, we was turned. But you had nerves. Y' all scared? I'm always nervous. She's always a little nervous. Always. I was just trying to turn up. I didn't realize I was getting so drunk. Yeah. So quick. So. So what's the long term vision for the show? More seasons. Yes. We're hoping it's going to 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 list. Yeah, for sure. I, I think like with travel queens, I definitely want it to be a lot more seasons. I feel like we should do like, like a whole season like in Africa, a whole season in Europe. So that's what we're hoping that it'll, that it'll grow to. And you know, same thing with Poor Minds. I could 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. 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. I have started my YouTube channel, Love Lexpin. So I'm just doing like Hot Topics show reviews because that's the lane I want to get into more hosting as well. So yeah, we just have so much stuff to do and I feel like now that we've made that step into tv it's like, you know, people can actually see what we can do now, you know for sure. I was already on shop muse beautycollection.com. make sure you get your lip glosses, matte liquid lipsticks, lip liners. I also just branched into other cosmetics products, so now I have some jelly blushes. I have mascara and eyeliner. So, yeah, make sure y' all shop muse beautycollection.com. well, check out travel queens on BET. That's right. Thank y' all for joining us so much. And subscribe to the Paul Minds podcast. Yes. Big love for Lex P, Andre and Nicole. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We love y'. All. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. Morning, everybody. Is DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Clubs. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. We have Mandy B. And Wheezy from Horrible Decision, but they changed the name. Thank you. You need to leave podcast. Is that possible? No. Yes. It is not close. It is absolutely possible. You can delete your owners. You grow up, you can move to a different city where no one knows you, and then you can change your Instagram work. Just the grocery store. They said, hey, you can't delete. Well, good morning, ladies. Good morning. Good morning. Why did y' all change the name for the coins? Charla? Oh, not only that. When we started Horrible decisions, we were 26 years old. I was still in college. I was in my last year of college. College Wheezy. We were both in corporate, and we was kind of living life, doing. Doing all the things, and we just kind of Your whole face. We wasn't. Our whole phase. I think everyone has a whole phase. And now we're out of it. Okay. And we just, you know, are growing with our audience. Okay. And growing with the. With the dollars, to be fair. Doing this book, though, you know, I was telling people, like, I want to do Drew Barrymore. I want to do this and that, and I just can't see them saying, especially not Drew Barrymore. She not both. Drew Barrymore goes. No, I mean, with growth and with also wanting to be respected as an author, I feel like for the people that don't know us, everybody that, like, is in the podcast world understands our evolution. And I think that's when we started to gain our respect. To know that, sure, we talk about sex, but it lasted so long. We've been able to catapult into all these different ventures. But a new person, I feel like they're gonna be like, eh, how you think the fans took it? Like, did y' all took the horrible off I think the fans love it. I think the core fans are happy. I think the casual fans just found a way to get angry at you. Like, people get very excited if they think something bad is going on. You know what I mean? Like, literally the second they saw that horrible would be going behind a paywall. It's like, oh, they fighting. Charlotte don't want that. I heard them with them. Like, you know, it's. They can't wait to feel that. And Mandy and I being that we've been colleagues for so long, we've had on air mess and things like that, I feel like that was the sexiest part of the story. When really now we're so much older, it's like, okay, girl. Mandy's celibate, right? You still celibate? Oh, oh, yeah. No, I. I started the year off, you know, I just seen you a couple of months ago. I seen in the club. She was like, yo, E, I'm celibate. I'm starting over. That wasn't even a couple months ago. That was a few. It was a couple weeks ago. That was your Magic City moment. Yeah. I love how you said club. You could let them know we were in Magic City, tell them to see a magic City. Yo, that's the first thing she told me. It wasn't like E has a family. See? Yo, what up, E? I'm celibate now. I was like, what made you break the celibacy vow? I saw somebody cute. So it wasn't even a relationship. Jesus. You was already with sitting up here. Tablous can't be deleted. Jesus Christ. It is. I mean, it was intimate. It was sensual. We kissed and cuddled. Have you seen him since? He doesn't live in my state. So he's flying to see me? Yes. Wow. All right. How do I put it on him? You wanted a one night stand or something? No, no, no, no. We're about to go to the second. Second stand. No, I'm saying when your front did was in a one night stand. The second stand. What's the first stand? The first stand was great. It was when I saw him. So y' all didn't date. Y' all just. You see. Okay, now. Now you gotta explain it. I'm just not celibate anymore. Okay? All right. And this is what the book is about. About liberation, growth as women getting what you want. Did you meet him at Magic City that night? No, I met him on an island. Oh, so you know when Mandy got a move there. What island? St. Croix. Which was. So you was on Vacation. And you let one of them island ways. Yes. Y' all ain't changed nothing but the name don't do that. I'm trying to think mine. What? Besides this blazer, what's the biggest rebrand thing of me? I, I, I will say this. I think now I'm so over communicative. We're in the beginning of horrible decisions. I wasn't talking about exactly what I wanted. My feelings, even the type of sex that I wanted to have. Like situationships, I was falling into them all the time. I think as you evolve and you get more comfortable with yourself and who you are, that's when it hits. I actually don't think that could happen before 30, if I'm being honest. I think you could try to get close to it, but there's something that happens at 30 where it just clicks. You're like, oh, no, this is no 30. You, you look better, you feel better, you make more money, you know, a little bit more of what you want. You done dealt with enough men in your teens and twenties that now you can be like, okay, I don't want that, but this is what I want. Do y' all want a monogamous relationship? No. No. Do you want marriage? Anybody want marriage? Yeah. I don't. Do you want a monogamous relationship? Not monogamous, but I mean, of course I want marriage. I mean, like, what is it? If we're not gonna have sex with a nanny, what's the point? No, I just doesn't fit my lifestyle. Like, I, I've, I've been known for having a boyfriend and a girlfriend since I've been 20 years old. Like, what about you, man? Ethical non monogamy. I want to throw that word in there. So that's where, like, it's consensual. There's like, there are boundaries. You are communicating and it's, it' the umbrella where you could be poly open. Like, there's, you could be swingers. There's all these different labels underneath. Ethical non monogamy. For me. I like men and women and I don't want to not be able to experience both. Gotcha off of that. Now, you were talking about you like men and women. So would y' all date bisexual men? And the reason I asked that who was up here? And they said that it wouldn't bother them. I heard do. She wouldn't. Would y' all mind? It wouldn't bother me. No, I don't want to see it. For me, it's a cloudy. Yeah. So the thing that attracts Me to women is their femininity. Like I've never dated a stud, right? And no disrespect to studs. I just feel like you punky came on horrible. I was like I don't know. It should be cooking. Bernie Grinder, the only stud. We all got one. I want Britney Grinder. That's it. That's the only way as far as men. I love the masculinity in men and so if I was dating a bisexual man that maybe like a homo thug I could do. That's what I'm saying. Like they're so masculine ATF like so you wouldn't mind but he just got to be a thug. You want a thug on the thug. There's also levels to it, right? So I really truly believe every man has had some sort of experience. I think everybody a little gay. For real. For real. Even you and your kids find a little gay. Like there's like there's a. There's a. There's a spectrum. The Kinsey scale. Everyone is not all the way fully straight or fully gay. Yes, K, I N S D Y like a little gay. Like. Like you can. You can even. And it could be as little as you can actually admit that another man is attractive or a good looking or you could have classified as gay. Why can't this be? Well because it's. It's the attraction. Attraction is different. But. But no you can say a man is handsome but attractive means you feel something towards. You. Did you. Did you do have men that won't even do that then I think you know there's so many men that would say they ran trains in high school. There's another man that wouldn't get naked in. I never like trains. Trains threesome. Like there is levels. I don't think that's gay by the way. That's why I said a gay. If you don't penis in a male that's not gay. But why you and another man are enjoying. Did you hear what just say not gay if you your penis in the mail? No, I said it's not gay. No you not your penis in the mail. So you hear what you want to hear. Said it's not gay. You got gay ears. That's what so ify as long as it's oral then no it's fine. Okay. No. Okay. I just. Okay. I'm looking at the Kenzie scale. See it's a real thing. It says X. No social. No socio sexual contacts or reactions. 0 is exclusively heterosexual. 1 mostly heterosexual. Only slightly homosexual. 2 mostly heterosexual, but more than slightly homosexual. 3, equally heterosexual and homosexual. 4, mostly homosexual, but more than slightly heterosexual. 5, mostly homosexual, only slightly heterosexual. And 6 is all homo straight. Okay, that's a lot. Yeah. By the way, I have a friend of mine. His name is Christopher. And on New Year's, five, six years ago, I'll never forget, I kissed him like, oh my God, he's gay. Kiss him. He looked at me and he was like, like you, I am gay. Gay. And now you ruined it. He's a six. He's a six. He'S a six. When I tell you he was really upset with me, I was like, I'm so confused. I just thought we were having fun. He's like, no, no, no, no, no, I am not. Gold star. He's like, I didn't even have. I came from a C section. I'm platinum. He was like, you kissed me. You ruined this. You messed him up. Now he feel a little straight. That's who I would define as a six. I know one thing. Toronto might have to re six that six thing. Knowing that six, knowing that six is the highest on the Kinsey scale. That's funny. Exclusively homosexual. If you're of six. That's what it says. You all the way gay. No, you hear me? Hot straight girl that got one lesbian friend and she be doing this. You be like, no, that, yeah, that, that's me. But I ain't going to lie. Back in the day, yeah, I had a couple gay experiences. Yeah, like kiss a little bit more to kiss, but you know, yeah, I, I dated a stud for like a little minute until I found out she was married and she ended up being a clown. Oh, you number two. And then, yeah, mostly heterosexual, but more than slightly homosexual. It might be a little three, cuz she, she dated a stud. So that always tells me like you kind of are the straight girl. That's like where you can dive into it. Cuz I don't, I don't find like the, the femmes to be att. Like, yeah, you're beautiful to me, but I'm not. I wouldn't be attracted to a feminine girl. Like, it's like, I get it. No, no, for me, I like that. I like that. But y' all have the same crush too. Y' all too Mandy. You and Mandy at the same crush. I think a lot of people have a crush on her. Doesn't everybody want. Yeah, until I call. Until I heard her call. I'm like, damn. Oh no. You know what's wrong with pops? Ah, nah, there's certain things you can say that make you just instant corn. Like, no masculine energy. You see what I mean? I'm saying, like, well, she already got the voice of God. I mean, that. Like, the whole thing. But I mean, I just, you know, she. She ain't. Like, when she was doing an interview and Shane, like, when somebody was like. The girl was like, oh, you about to be a mom. You about. You know, she was like, no, pops. And she serious. I remember that. I was like, damn. But I wouldn't just assume that. If I never heard her say that, like, I wouldn't have said, congratulations, yo, your mom. I wouldn't just be like, yo, congratulations, like you, pops now. Because I think that that would offend her, right? But she was offended at her being called a mom. Yeah. Brittany, look, good, I would. Let me tell you, when I said when all that stuff was going on, I was like, we gotta get her out. We gotta get her out. But I'm okay with still having the crash. I'm okay with letting her go. Mandy can't have it because my boyfriend looked just like. Like us. So that's crazy. That is crazy. Sorry, Chris. So with decisions, decisions, is it less sex talk? Like, is it less. Yeah, yeah. We're leaning more into the conversations around relationships. So non traditional relationships, non monogamy. All the ways that you don't have to go about the traditional way of dating and pursuing love, essentially, because us growing up, what is it? Get married, have kids, live happily ever after. That's not everyone's reality, but it's cool because we're diving into history, which we always kind of did during horrible. But now it's fun. Like, we're talking. We talk about the history of romance. The first date, even the history of romance is dope. I was. When we were talking, like, how the first date was different, there had to be a male caller at your home, knocking on the door, asking your parents, they were supervising you. Oh, I'm an idiot. I thought you meant, like, y' all documented the first date ever. When you said history, that was like, oh, the first date. We ended up in a time machine. Like, how it evolves over time. Even the history of romance, how, you know, you marry for, like, you're talking to some dumb hoes right here. I'm not a hoe, okay? I retired a long time ago. Me too, Matthew. Just dumb. Me too. Now, the history of the romance is crazy because it basically, on ebay, every find has a story. Like, if you're looking for a vintage band Tee. Not just a tee. The band tee. From the last show your favorite band ever played. You wore it everywhere. Then your girlfriend started wearing it, which was cool until she dumped you and took it with her, which was not so cool. Anyway, now you're on ebay. And there it is. Same tee from the same tour, still living in your memory rent free forever. See, the things you love have a way of finding their way back to you. But ebay isn't just for getting what your ex stole back. It's also for that rare championship foul ball you caught, then heroically gave it to the kid next to. And where else are you going to find your first car? The one you wish you never sold, but now finally get the chance to take back home for good this time. You know, I'm a collector of cars. And sometimes I'm looking for the right rim that I had when I was a kid. Yeah, it might have been 20 years ago, but I want that same feeling. And the only way I can find it is on ebay. Shop ebay for millions of fines, each with a story. EBay. Things people love. What a matchup we got, y'. All. This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat, everybody. Showing that school pride game like this. Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere and in ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo. No matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going. Hey, everyone. Ed Helms here. And hi, I'm Kal Penn, and we're the hosts of Ears The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Jenny Garth, host of the iHeart podcast.

You know what? I can see you as Mr. Darcy. You got a little Colin Firth. Okay, that's really sweet. I appreciate that, but are you sure I'm not the dad?

And they believed when people were in battle or in war, they would start a war over love. And they were like, oh yeah, you can't fall in love love. So that's why you would marry for agriculture, socioeconomic stuff. And it's just fun to dive into this because we already have been talking about sex and dating so long so now we just get to go back and people enjoy learning about stuff with us and we're not scholars so that's what makes it fun. Now you got a book coming out as well? We do, we do. Under Charlemagne's imprint. What's the name of the book? No hoes Borrowed. It's a dual any hole, no hose barred. Listen all of them. It's a dual manifesto of sexual exploration and power. And so we each dive into to our journeys as women. I did a lot of diving in therapy, like going all the way back to my childhood as to maybe why I date, the type of men I date, what type of men I date, my views, I mean everything that's not. My daddy so non short Jamaicans. Jesus. But I go into that and even as early as me talking about my journey of having anal sex and how I used to think any man that wanted it was was gay because I was like, well why would you want the back hole when there's another hole? And so I'm A five. Oh, that was funny. Mackenzie skin. Like, just mid. No, no, but it was. It, like. It, like, goes through my journey of even, like, having to relearn and unlearn the things that aren't true. And then we even get deep and we talk about, like, our sexual assaults. I talk about my abortion when I was 16. That the book is broken down as cool. Cause, like, when we get into that stuff, so it's pleasure, pain, progression, and power. So, like, in the pain section, that's when abortion and sexual assault comes up. But there's also a story of a dude bdsm. Bdsm, like, tying me up, spanking me, choking me. Like, Mandy getting electrocuted. That's my favorite. It was great. I went to a dungeon with my ex, and we agreed to both do two things that we had never done before. So. So he agreed to allow me to put him in a chastity belt, which took some time because he kept growing and he couldn't grow in order to lock him in. And then I allowed him to do electroshock inside of me with a tool. What happened to me? Which you mean inside of me. It was great. A dildo. Electric. Yeah. And so, like, it, like, spawned all of these electrocurrents inside of me. And it was the best feeling. It felt like. Like almost like an alien. I was like, I'm never gonna feel this again. It felt like eight tongues inside of me giving me oral at once. It was. It was the best feeling. I was like, this ain't a normal feeling you gotta get. It was great, though. So this why you can't be one person. One person can't just be. And to be honest, I don't ride. So I would love for my partner to be able to experience everything he wants to experience that I'm not down there. What you mean? I don't ride. I don't get on top. Mm. Mm. Why not? Let me go get you somebody acrobatic. It. You mean you can be electrocuted, but you can be. But I ain't getting on top. But I ain't getting on top. Nope. It takes more effort, I guess. Oh, yeah. I just came back from carnival and the way them girls were winding their hips and doing all the splits, I said, my man deserves to experience a woman that flexible. It ain't me, though. Isn't that a position of power for women, though, when they look up? When. Yeah, when they're what? In my opinion. And it's the strongest. That's great that y' all Receive it that way. Got no river. No, no. Oh, me. I'm half white. No. Half Jamaican. I knew. I know. So it goes both. It goes both. Okay, so what is true? Crab House. Oh, girl. So I've been going to workouts in New York for almost a decade, and I love Pilates inspired movement and I love lifting. And so literally, I went to a Pilates class. I'm not even joking. It was February this year. And I was saying to the instructor, like, oh, my God, girl, that was such an amazing workout. Thank you. Like, I needed some, like, some trap or something. She's like, I'd never play that here. And made me feel so small, like. And I was like, I'll make that. And it's funny because someone said to me when I made it, do you know Envy wants to do hip hop Pilates? Who told you that? Maybe it was just someone I mentioned. I thought about it. I don't tell nobody, especially not him. But I go to Pilates, right? But when you go to Pilates, there's never no music that you. There's no hip hop music. And it's hard. You're shaking. You know what I'm saying? So literally, my favorite genres of music of all time, and I listen to everything is trapping house music. So I was going to buy an apartment in New York, right? I had money. I was like, I got 150k. I'm going buy a million dollar house. And I was like, nah, it's either that or start a business. So. So because I'm not a fitness trainer, I had to, you know, partner with someone. And so I found my favorite instructor in New York, Black dude. His name's Jeff Blue. And I was like, yo, I want you to make this. And he literally was like, trap and Pilates. I'm like, I'm telling you, dog. It looked like business is booming, though, from what I see on Instagram, I haven't been able to take a class because it's been so busy. I wait because of relations, though. That's what's up. People don't talk about y' all entrepreneurs, ventures enough. You know what I'm saying? You got WTF Media. Mandy, you had the studio. I still have it over there. Yeah. It's just now need to know studios. Yeah. But I. I relocated to Atlanta. I have other opportunities professionally down there. But. Yeah. And right now I'm working on scripts and pitching those. I just wrote another proposal for a book. After writing the book with you, I definitely just love the process. So want to continue Doing that. And yeah, I think over the last eight years, I think that's why we've been able to keep this going because we've both been able to just branch out individually and do the things that we really like. Turning over your money that you make. Like when we got our first Black Effect check, it was so dope because to be on salary for a podcast is just like unheard of. And we were making, we quit our jobs before, you know, so, like, we were in this, doing this, but it's just mind blowing that we've been able to take that business acumen and flip it. Because a lot of people think when you're a podcaster, people really don't know how I make money. Like, I think so many people think I have only fans or they meet me, which I get it. I feel like I could have the look my titties already out, like, okay. But content creation is one thing and then it's like, well, business is another. Business is another. Not only that, it's just diversifying as well, how you bring in money. So between Black Effect, now the book with Charlemagne as well, then we have Patreon, then we tour, Shout out to Justin and merchandising. We have five different means of income just for the podcast. So even though we're not in the right write ups like the other white podcast, talking about $100 million deals, our business and what horrible decisions does make. Seven figures a year. We are a seven figure podcast. You'll be 100 million yet. We're not 100 million, but we, we have seven figures, like, and we make that yearly. That's right. So I love that. And then again, that's just one form of income. Again, she has her studio, I have my studio. We have other things that we do as well outside. So decision is a business that generates money and I love how y' all use that money to build other, other businesses. I honestly want every podcaster to start considering building another business. It doesn't have to be brick and mortar, but like, literally. Oh yeah. Shout out to you, what a. When you got into brick and mortar, even having the studio, like dealing with an actual location and staffing, I'm like, oh, yeah, that ain't for me. Do you know the owner of the building that WTF is SoHo. So we got three buildings, four different studios, right? The Soho dude hits me up about how someone filed an insurance claim and I'm like, what? They're like, yeah, they filled my bathroom. Yeah. I was like, I'm so sorry to Hear that. He was like, it's good. Like, he has huge buildings. He's like, I've already got this covered. But, like, that's what's happening. That can break a building. Yeah. That could break a business. How much I spent trying to make sure this fitness studio got a house at your house too. It's crazy to me. All the businesses, though, all the projects, everything that we do creatively, those are my babies. As a woman that doesn't want kids. And when people talk about what legacy looks like and things, the things that I'm creating are gonna outlive me and my kids, if I had any, their kids. So to me, my legacy and what I'm leaving are the things and businesses that I'm creating. And I think Weezy and I talk about it as well. I think it's wonderful that we're able to, like, provide salaries and pay people. Like, even our Horrible Decisions team is like 10 people. And then she has her studio team, I have my studio, and it's just like, it's great. Well, I'm proud of y', all, man. Absolutely. Thank you. Thank you. The book no holds Bar the dual manifesto of sexual exploration and power will be in stores June 24th. June 24th. Mandy, wheezy, we appreciate y' all joining us. Decision Decision podcast.

I know we gotta go, but just to tell you about Jorge, there was a girl that's a really big fan of yours at the live show we just had. And she was taking. I know. Oh, she's taking a picture of me. And I'm like, oh, I know you will go to all his book tours. Did you see see him? She's like, yeah, he whorehive. He always here. Wow, that almost made me tear up. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Damn the he haw again. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be donkey today no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things called Donkey of the Day. And it really caught me off guard. Damn Charlemagne. Who got the donkey of the day today? Well, just hilarious. Donkey Today goes to a 51 year old Arizona man named Aaron Morse. Now when I was growing up, Public Enemy, the great Chuck D and Flavor Flav. Drop on the clues bombs for Public Enemy. They had a record called 911 as a joke. The song was about the lack of response to emergency calls in black neighborhoods. Totally understand why Public Enemy made that record. But that has nothing to do with this situation. Because in this situation, Aaron Morse is indeed the joke. Joke? What do you mean, Uncle Charlotte, Aaron is the joke. Well, let's go to Fox 10 Phoenix for the report, please. 74 year old Susan Morse was a well known artist, a mother and a great neighbor. Neighbors say Sue's late husband passed away about a year ago. Then her son, 51 year old Aaron Morse moved in. According to court documents, Aaron called 911 and told police he had an argument with his mom and used a pistol to shoot her. This remorse allegedly came confessed to shooting the victim in the head. The victim succumbed to her injuries. Mr. Morse has a long standing history of alcoholism. Mr. Morse, you were arrested on the following allegations. Murder in the second degree, that is a class one felony. And tampering with physical evidence, which is a class six felony. Aaron Morris had his first court appearance this morning. His bail is set at $500,000, cash only. Damn. The news report didn't even tell the best worst part, after killing his mom, shooting his mom in the head, right. He called 911 and said he committed a heinous crime. Then he called 911 again to call the whole thing off. After killing his mother, he called back the 911 and said, oh, it's okay, she's fine. She's alive. She's in our pottery studio. First of all, if you kill your mother, trust and believe you will be in hell with VIP seating. And that VIP seating comes with three bottles of the fin hell has to offer. Okay. Shot your mom in the head over an argument. What was the argument? That she's ready for you to move out of her house. She's upset with you because you haven't lived up to your full potential. You a bum just like your daddy. I don't know what the argument could have been. But the fact it ended with your mom having a bullet hole to the skull tells me everything I need to know about you, Aaron. But the fact he thought he could just call 911 and cancel his order. He was talking to the police like he had a time machine. Doc Brown's DeLorean or the time Stone for Marvel. He was talking like he could just rewind things and everything was going to be okay. No, sir. That's not how 911 works. If you think you're going to call 91 1, report a heinous crime, and then call back and say, no, I was just playing. Let's call the whole thing off. Yeah, that doesn't sound suspicious. Nobody is going to come investigate that. I don't even know why Aaron Morris would think that would work in his favor. I know he was drunk, but, you know, I think this requires a game. A game of Guess what racing is. Aaron Morse, 51 years old from Arizona, shot his mom in the head over an argument. Called 911 to report the crime, then called back to say he was playing. Just hilarious. Guess what? Racism. You said that very matter of factly. Why he killed his mom. Okay. Shot her in the head. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I see where you're going, DJ Envy. Aaron Morris, 51 years old from Arizona, shot his mom in the head over an argument. Called 911 to report the crime, then called back to say he was playing Guess what? Racing white. Damn. Y' all saying this just like. Y' all just know. No. Cause he called the police. Did he call back and be like, Never mind. Joking. Nope. Doesn't happen. Well, just hilarious, DJ envy. I would like to both of you to know that you are 100%, absolutely, positively correct. Aaron Mor is Caucasian. Look at him. That's right. Oh, yeah. He is very white. And he look like he a killer. Again, that is Yellowstone white. Yeah. Okay. That is meth for breakfast. Bath salts for brunch. White. Definitely meth for breakfast. Yes, that's right. Y. Yes. So please give Aaron Morse the biggest. See y'. All. All right. That's it. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Good morning, everybody. It's dj. Just got in here, man. The guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building, guys. What up? What up, Miller? Chico, be welcome, fellas. Man, whatever, man. Why y' all got that freaky ass picture of Big Sean on the table, man? Picture? Put it on his computer, keep throwing it at you. Why? What he was asking. He wanted to know where abs came from. And so we printed out a couple pictures. You about to get this. I'm not getting no ab sketching, man. You about to. You about to get a bbl. No, don't do that. Envy you already rich, bro. Just get fat. How you supposed to do when you get rich? I don't know why everybody want to be in shape. What happened to getting money and getting fat? Well, you want to live, though, so you want to. You want to be alive. That's all I mean, man, get out of here. That's literally what you going to do. Get out of here. Get out of here. Let me have one of them waters. What y' all up here for, man? I know y' all got the. What type of Is this, man? Look, man, Like, how y' all been treating the guest lately? I. I saw the neon clip. Y' all have never started streaming career, y'. All already. He blocked the man on Harriet Tubman, man. He did. He on who? Harriet Tubman, somebody on Har. That's what he did, man. Y. Listen, man, the content's falling off. If y' all got to interview people that know. Hurry. Y' all have lost your luster. What type of. And y' all had him up here, and then y' all want. What we up here for? Invited him up here. You know that's not true. So what happened was he. He reached out to me to do his stream, and then. And he kept asking to come up here because he wanted to announce that he was leaving Kick to go to Twitch. I'm like, I. Okay, We've had a scream up here before. DDG been up here, so why not? He didn't even announce it. He was like, I'm not announcing it here. He was like, I don't even want announce it the news. I mean, we. I mean, why? We've interviewed people that want to come up. I bought to say we had Big Dank up here. Who that? The Detroit rapper? Know Big D, She. Oh, the one that had that lawsuit with flying cargo. Hey, you know what? See, man, look, man. Terrible person don't understand. Now you turn it back to the old you, man. He didn't got that glitter on the top of his head. Now, I don't know what that is. What. What you did to your head, man. Why is it glittering? It's glittering hot flashes. You going through menopause, man. Going through menopause, man. But they is because of their. I was about to say that before. First of all, we love having y'. All. Let's start There. In D.C. being D.C. always late. I mean, you know, y' all come up here. You know that he always come up. Nah, he on his way. He on his way, man. Y' all had that monsoon up here the other day. We all almost didn't get in. Y' all had the. In the arms of the angel. Y' all was struggling up here the other day. Yeah. How do y' all, like. Y' all still like being on the road? Absolutely. Yeah. Okay. Being on the road is the blessing. Like I always tell people. You can't complain about the blessings God give you. Cause if you didn't have it, that's what you would be asking for. You would be asking to be on the road all the time. So gotta love it. Cause you get to do what you love, and you get paid for it. It's a beautiful thing. How do y' all work on material when y' all always on the road? Like, y' all always out, whether it's together, whether it's apart, whether it's wilding out, whether you're like, y' all always on the road. So how do y' all work on material? I mean, because you always on the road, you see things. You see different things. You see different perspectives. When you go to different cities, you. You perform everywhere. Everywhere you go, they got different cultures and different ways of doing things. So you get to visualize all of that, and it goes into your stage show. Cause when you performing for people, they want to hear your perspective on their everyday life. And you get to see that when you're on the road. So that's the best part about it. Chico. You out there looking like Chico Lean, man. Yeah, man. I found out I had high blood pressure. I had to change my diet around. I went to the doctor. They told me I had high blood pressure. I was like, whatever. I don't care nothing about high blood pressure. Went back to the doctor, and another doctor came in. Like, when that second police officer come and you know you're going to jail. That's how the black man came in. He was like, brother, I don't think they did a good enough job of explaining to you the effects of high blood pressure is the biggest killer of black men. Heart attacks, Heart attacks, all that type of thing. I'm like, what are the effects? He said, erectile dysfunction. I was like, what? I gotta change? I won't even eat food? No, man. As soon as he said that's all I needed to hear. I'm like, nah, I am too young for that. But, yeah, I Had to change a lot of stuff around, man. Can't eat chicken, can't eat bread, all that type of stuff. And that was one of the most hardest transitions. I tell people now that sugar is the worst drug in the world. Cause don't nobody stop you when you got it. You know, you can just have. Yeah, you can just have a plate full of sugar. Everybody be cool. You show up one crack rocket. What's wrong? You know what I'm saying? What happened? You know what I'm saying? You can't light up no crack. That secondhand crack smoke. Nah, don't do that. Secondhand crack smoke. Yeah, but that was trying to steal your outfit. I know. Yeah, we. You know, Envy, Light Skin. He been dressing like this. He been dressing like this since the 80s. He wanted to be in. What's that? Ready for the World. Y' all know that NB audition for Ready for the World. And they make it. But yeah, man, I feel better, though. That's the best part about it. I feel so much better because once I made that transition, you look at yourself and you don't really see it till you look at old pictures and be like, God damn, nigga was built bad. But you know what I mean, the transition. I recommend all black men to go get their blood pressure checked, man. Cause it's very, very important. And you end up walking around with one Jordan on if you don't. Man, listen, Blood pressure me so bad. When I seen him lose all that weight, I just started losing weight, too. I was like, hey, man, whatever it is, you know, I'm about to do some of that. I hope you going to the doctor, Carlo? Yeah. Okay. I got insurance. That's what you wanted to hear? Yes, I got insurance on ebay. Every fine has a story. Like, if you're looking for a vintage band tee. Not just a tee, the band tee from the last show your favorite band ever played. You wore it every. Then your girlfriend started wearing it, which was cool. Until she dumped you and took it with her, which was not so cool. Anyway, now you're on ebay. And there it is. Same tee from the same tour, still living in your memory, rent free forever. See, the things you love have a way of finding their way back to you. But ebay isn't just for getting what your ex stole back. It's also for that rare championship foul ball you caught. Then heroes heroically gave it to the kid next to you. And where else are you going to find your first car? The one you wish you never sold? But now, finally get the chance to take back home for good this time. You know, I'm a collector of cars. And sometimes I'm looking for the right rim that I have when I was a kid. Yeah, it might have been 20 years ago, but I want that same feeling. And the only way I can find it is on ebay. Shop ebay for millions of finds, each with a story. EBay. Things people love. Whoa, what a vibe we've got, y'. All. As always, it's classic HBCU energy. Nonstop action, the band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chants echoing, drums beating, everybody showing that school pride. Moments like this, yeah, they call for an ice cold Coca Cola. Crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Mmm. Yeah, that taste always hit the right note. Just like the band at halftime. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere. And an ice cold Coca Cola. That's a winning combo. No matter the place, no matter the moment. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.

Because when you start to realize what leads the heart attacks and what leads to strokes, the high blood pressure, the high cholesterol stuff we ain't never thought about, and you go to the doctor, you're like, what does that mean? And then they explain it to you. It's like, oh, I got to get right. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you definitely got right. You got right long time ago. Once you got that stuff done in your skin. That's right. I knew it was gonna be good. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I know. He got everything taken off, man. Yeah, he got everything taken off. He got everything taken off. Y' all don't even know this, man. Yeah, he got rid of all that. You know, he got rid of all. He the first one like Mr. Terrific from Superman. Yeah. You know what I mean? He be. He sleep with bobby pins pulling his skin back. When he go to sleep at night, he'd just be in the bed straight up like this. I'm like, so. You know, taking care of yourself is. Is very important, man. And like I said, black men, for some reason, we don't like to go to the doctor, and they just want to keep drinking ginger ales. And the thing most black men do is walk to the store. Yeah, that's it. What? Just walk to the store. That's all. That's from some air. That's it. Wait till y' all gotta get them prostates checked, though. Hey, man, see, they your freaky ass go, hey, man, why you. Come on, man. It's so much that you could have went to before that, you know, I'm getting prostate check. Oh, it's such a beautiful experience. Come on, man. You ain't get your prostate check yet. He not. Nah, nah, not yet. Have you. Yes, you said that was prize. Yes, I have. Yes, I have. Twice. Somebody twice. What was the first one? A trial run. I keep. Yeah, he got his prostate check. As you got a trial run. Prostate check. I'm going let you do it before I go to the doctor to warm myself up. The doctor tell him, look, we don't got to do this every time you Come. Why not? Why not? I want to make sure I'm okay. I got to be healthy. When you. When you about 43, 44. If you got a history of it in your family, you supposed to go get it checked, though. Yeah, I know they say you got to, but, you know, I ain't got there yet. No, you got to, Chico. You got to. You can't lose all why you did. I mean, okay, I got you, all right? One day I will. And I'm not coming up here to talk to y' all freaky ass about it. They put you to sleep, they give you a drug, and they shouldn't have to put you to sleep. Anytime they got, they put you to sleep. You ain't get the regular joke. No, that wasn't the regular one. They sexually assaulted you. They got you on camera. You went to a freak off. That wasn't to you. You talk about the colon check going to the next one. No, you weren't. You just on ass adventures, man. On ass adventures out here, man. What's up with your man? He on the table, but on his stomach. Y' all ain't got nothing else. Yo, do y' all ever have, like, problems making decisions? Because it is three of y', all, right? And say if one of y' all don't want to do something, how many of y' all have to say, like, no or yes? For y' all to, like, collectively agree or disagree on something, it ain't a whole lot of things we gotta collectively agree on. That's the best part about it. So sometimes we show up with two wrong answers and the right one. And sometimes we have days where people just make their own decision. If he's like, hey, bro, do what you want to do. But you got my full. It ain't a whole lot of things. We don't clash on nothing, really. We don't like the same type of women. We don't hang out at the same type of place. It's just. We got a dope bond where it's like, we just. We brothers. Yeah, we brothers. And it's just. It's literally family. You know what I'm saying? You know, the things you go through with your family, whatever the conversation is, is always in house, and we always take care of it. It's never public, you know, never for public consumption. And that's what make things easier. So when we got to make those decisions, it's always a collective bargaining agreement. And we, you know, whichever way, we all understand it's all done out of love. So it make it easy, you know what I'm saying? And it's. That's what makes us special. Because, you know, you do comedy as you. It's a one man sport, you in the microphone. So what we do, we show that it's possible to be able to have that type of camaraderie and still get the same product and the same result, even though we're doing it in a different way and y' all trust each other. I saw an interview DC was doing, and he was just talking about LOS being the og. Yeah. Without question. LOS being the lead. I think. I think the question might have been, who's the leader? Yeah, he is the leader. And I've heard you. You say that too, Chico, man, you know how hard that is for men to do. No, not for us. Because you gotta think about the place that we came from. Like, we all started with nothing. Every time we come to New York, me and LOS had this conversation about how we was walking around, sending $50 back home, Western Union, and washing clothes in the basement of the hotel. And when you have that type of vision, that's all you have is the vision at certain points. And he always had that vision to see past wherever we were at in the moment. And, you know, and the biggest thing for me, too, I think it's. Cause we was all broken. Broke together at some point. You know what I'm saying? And it was like we had those conversations, those late nights, sitting around like, bro, when I get some bread, we gonna. Hey, we're gonna do this for real. That's what you want. I bet. And then it actually happened. So that was. That was one of those things that really formed the bond, too. Yeah, he don't. Like I said, he always had the vision. He was one of the ones that saw. When we were on Wilding out, as great as the opportunity there was for all of us, he was always the one. Like, man, look, we gotta look past this. We gotta do this, we gotta do that, we gotta do this. And I say that because he's the elder. He went through certain trenches that I didn't have to go. They didn't really even exist once we got in the game. I was. I started in 08, and we was the, you know, the last beacon of Dago D.C. dago. Look at his face. Yeah, we was fly. We was just talking about just the vision that LOS had. And. The vision that LOS had just when we first was starting out to see past the moments that we were at and, you know, have the vision Understand that this was the, the direction to go in, you know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah, for sure, man. OG always had the vision, you dig what I'm saying? Like, since day one, he just jumped right in. Exactly. What you be talking about? Tell me. I was wearing Gucci though, bro. I ain't got no. You wouldn't have bought nothing either way. Only time you shut up, You talking about, yeah, we don't care nothing about that. You spend $30,000 a week, week on skin care routine. You don't look like an orange no more. He looked like one of them oranges that's been sitting on the table for years. That's what he used to look like all the way. But no, man, OGJ always had the vision, you dig what I'm saying? Like that I think, I think that what it, that it comes down to, like, if you got something going on and you know you need help, you feel what I'm saying? Then not only that, the dudes you asking for help from, they need help, you feel me? It's a, it's a group collective. And I think that's what, you know what I'm saying, us as black folk don't do together, bro. We don't come together, ask for help. Like asking for help, thinking like, you belittling yourself or you like, man, I don't need it, bro. We need each other, bro. And at the end of the day, we can grow together, bro. That's the only way we can go to the next step quicker, you know what I'm saying? Without you trying to do it by yourself. I mean, we all can do things by ourselves, but you see, as a collective, when we do things together, it's like effortlessly, you feel what I'm saying? So what's been the biggest lesson in ownership? Y' all had to learn the hard way. Don't wanna that own. Damn. Yeah, yeah, because you take away the negotiation power from people when you own your product, you know what I'm saying? People can't come and give you, you know, give you terms and conditions that you have to adhere to because you know what I'm saying? And a lot of times in this industry, people, especially the powers that be, they used to you being in need, you know what I'm saying? And they used to being able to throw anything at you and you'll take it because you don't know no better. But when you own it, it gives you a level of freedom that you don't have to worry about certain types of things happening. In your negotiations or dealing with certain types of people and being able to walk away from money, everybody thinks that the opportunity is attached to a dollar, but a lot of times it's not. But you're not able to see that if you got to get the dollar, you know what I'm saying? They gotta handle you way different when they know you don't need it. Like when you said it don't matter the money. Sometimes you're like, no, I'm cool. Then they be like, well, why, why though? What you want? Nothing. I just, I don't. I don't see what you. What you see what you. What you need me for. What you think? Where we going? Yeah, it's way different when you. When you can say no sometimes. And sometimes they also think that somebody's already behind you already. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like, they just swore we always work for somebody since day one, not knowing that we start this from the ground up trying to figure it out. And I think that it's a difference between when you got people that's putting the money behind you and then we used our own money. You see what I'm saying? Like, we can't mess up nobody else money. We done messed up a lot of our money. You know what I mean? We done messed up a lot of our money. But I think that's the growing pain. That's what comes with understanding. Like, you know what? The mistakes ain't mistakes to us. Yeah, the mistakes are learning lessons. So every mistake we had, we just figured out, oh, you know what, let's just do something different then. Versus we got to answer to somebody be like, well, why that didn't work then we don't see the vision. All right, season two council like, man, we've been doing this since 2015. Yeah, we took our bumps with our own money. So then when we did get some of their money, we had already went through the errors and it worked out. Yeah, it's a lot less pressure not having to recoup somebody else bread so you can get paid first. When you use your own bread to pay nobody back. I was wondering, you know, you guys are roast anybody, anytime, anywhere, any place. It depends who got the most sensitive when it came to. It depends. For real? D.C. yeah, it depends. See, I use that the defense mechanism. It ain't just like I'm just waking up like I want to get on somebody nerve today. No, it ain't that. You think you gonna say something to me? I got something back. Like, this is my twin Brother. This has always been my twin brother since the day of time, but it's just like my uncle. That's your uncle. See what I'm saying? That now how the become your uncle? I was your uncle ever before. I think when you got married, that's when you became all, yeah, she married. She un status, man. Look at the ring. She got the ring on. You know what I mean? Yeah, she married. You know that. She got married. She got married. She ain't inviting none of us to the ceremony, I tell you that much. It was quick. It was quick. She didn't even know. She just woke up for real. Oh, my God, y' all so stupid. But. But did anybody get super duper sensitive? He was like, let's leave him alone. Did that ever happen? What, on 85? No. When you. When you roasted somebody, whether it was in personal, who got the most sensitive? You. You. You the most. But you don't never do it in front of us. You and Ailia Banks. Not me. Okay. Yeah, you. You've been that. No, he. You know, he going to be mad. Like, your voice, like, did you high pitch when y' all come around? Like, do you answer the phone like that? No, no. Yo, Charlemagne, what do you want? Sound like a Nintendo Wii character. DJ Envy, what do you want? I ain't messing with y'. All. Matter of fact, I'm going to hr. When you launched the podcast and you said, you know, I want to get Chico, I want to get DC to do the podcast, did you see this turning into the. The empire it's become? Yeah. That's why if you go back to the early episode when it was just us in the street studio with me and Chico and DC, and then we always would say, hey, man, this who the podcast for? This for the podcast. Who this podcast right here is for white women with black kids who don't know how to do their hair or, you know, this. This for everybody who ever had to use Vaseline is Grease. You feel me? So that. That's why we. That's how we did this. So. Yeah, I always felt like. I still feel like this is just the beginning. Like, we ain't did half the stuff that we know we're about to do. We got some big stuff coming up. I tell you who the podcast not for who got to get put to sleep to get their prostate check. Damn. Who had to put sleep. You had to go. You had to go to sleep game. You couldn't watch your game. What happened? You were like, you know what? That knocked me out before you put your finger back there. That's not even how it go. Yeah, I don't know what my colonoscopy colon. Ain't that the. No, the fingers, the prostate. Oh, okay. And that last three seconds. How many times you got your prostate check? He like it. He go every week. He went for a vasectomy. They was like, turn around, I got it. You got a vasectomy. I was. I went for the consultation. And what they do when you got it turned to a prostate exam. So I ain't go back. Oh, but you went to go get something clip and you were like, you know what? No, I went for the consultation. And you know, after they look at your. And all that, and the guy was just like, yo, did they what, you had to get butt naked? What type of. So they checked his prostate and during that exam, during the consultation, it. I've never heard of that in my life. Me either. Not going to get the full procedure. What made you want to get real doctors, man? What made you want to. Want to get a. You already had all the kids and all that. Like, my wife wanted me to get one. She. She ain't want no more kids. She making you just cut you, man. I haven't done it yet, though. N. Be the man. Be the man at a household. Stop being a man. What the hell with you in the house, man. Tie your nuts down, cut your off. Nobody got time for this. You a pood. What's the difference? What's the difference between the prostate and the colonoscopy? Colonoscopy, Colonoscopy. They put you to sleep and they put a camera up your ass to make sure everything that's right. That damn near the same colon cancer. Make sure things all right. And that's crazy, cuz a lot of men have to go through that. You going, I'm. I'm nervous. Yeah, but you going though. I don't even like the do. Why you don't like the do? Cuz I ain't got time to be going. I'm like, man, I wish I could just pull my pants right back up. Would you self clean it out? Oh, my God. Imagine wiping your ass saying pause. I can't do damn dc. Yo, what is it like watching the Poor minds podcast, man? Beautiful. It's amazing. Great. Beautiful. Just saying, first of all, just seeing black women flourish, let's just. Let's just take a pause for that. Yeah. Without question. Just black women flourish, cherish and. And having kings behind them. That's. You know what I'm Saying that's supporting. And don't look at them as sexual. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, it's a family vibe. You dig what I'm saying? Like, we ain't got time for all that. Like, sometimes men, we have to understand that we need to have relationships with women without being sexual. That's right. Creating a safe space, especially as black men, creating a safe space for them, too, to come and be secure without having to feel like they subjected to all the things that come with the stigmas of being a woman, especially a black woman in this industry, you know, I mean, we try to make sure that our presence makes our women feel comfortable and safe, that they can be themselves and not have to worry about getting judged or, you know, being looked at as objects, you know what I'm saying? And be able to really project their talents out the right way. And that's something that we find really important because talking to our uncle and everything, like, she. You know, she'll let us know that, you know, the fights that she. We've been around her for years, like, and she's had to push through so much just because of the type of person that she is, and she ain't going for, you know what I'm saying? So that makes it very difficult for black women in this industry. So we want to create an environment where we, you know, you don't have to worry about none of that coming over here. You're going whatever it is you do. That's what we looking at you to do. Nothing else. They just as dope as they ever were. Like, they didn't have to get dope. Like, I went and did the podcast with them a long time ago at. At Treya's house. They were just in the living room just, you know, sipping wine, talking, and I was like, yo, y' all got something. And I know that y' all some attractive women. People gonna want to hear y' all opinion on certain stuff, and just to see where they took it is crazy. That's dope, too. That's the crazy thing about. We said the family environment, bro. We want to be around talent that we respect because we know that these people have something different than just, you know what I mean, than just being our friends. We respect the talent that they have. We'd love to see Moneybagg go on stage or Clayton English get to talking, you know, deep conspiracy theories, and then, you know, broken play and poor mind. So it's like, these are the things that we want around us, people that we can have fun with people that we can kick. And we know once they can get our attention, because we kind of tough critics, we know that the mass is gonna mess with it. Hey, man, quick question before y'. All. Who painted Styles P as Orlando? Orlando Brown. You know, that's down there. Rollins, too, right there. Where? The one that look like. I think that's. No, that's Donnell Rollins. Yeah, that's lotion in his head.
