Oh my gosh, we're back with another episode of the Hella Cheesemade podcast. My name is Dana.
Speaker 2:And I'm Stephanie.
Speaker 1:And we are your host, girl. Pause. Yes, a moment of silence. We would be. It just wouldn't be the show if we weren't honest and transparent about where we are today. Um, it is post-election and it has been said and it is clear that donald j trump will be our 47th president of the united states. Um, which obviously that means that Kamala Harris lost the running for presidency. I can tell you how I'm feeling.
Speaker 2:Tell us, I'm sure a wide range.
Speaker 1:You know, I just I don't know, I'm just like you know, I just I don't know. I'm just like a part of me is like this is what I expected. The other part of me, it was very, very hopeful. I was very positive on election day and for sure, you know, had a lot of positivity and feeling like you know she definitely could win and you know we wouldn't have to deal with this fucked heart for the next four years. But that wasn't the case, you know.
Speaker 1:So I've actually been in Denver since last Sunday for a SHRM inclusion conference, which SHRM is an HR? What do we call? Shrm is an HR organization. I guess we can call them If all the HR girlies know what SHRM is. But yes, I've been here since last Sunday for the conference, and the election was during the time that we've been here. Um, and baby, it's been snowing every day just about for the last two days that I've been here, um, and I think that has been a good portion of why I've been feeling so positive, because you know we don't get snow in San Diego and I love the snow, um, so it's been that has been a positive outlook on this whole situation. But definitely, you know, I do feel like it's just a shitty situation that we are now back in based on I don't know. I don't know what it's based on or why people voted for this man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was very. I don't know if surprise is the right white word.
Speaker 1:Yes, the white word.
Speaker 2:I don't know if surprise is the right word, but I was taken aback by the fact that I believe it was. I believe it was so like Within Latino men Voters, 56% Voted for Trump and I was like Wow, why? But then also Looking at my, my, but then also looking at my, just looking around me, whether that's on social media or like personal dynamics or any platform.
Speaker 1:Really, you know, I did see a lot of Latinos for Trump 54% Latino men voted for Trump, 37% Latino women voted for Trump, 7% of Black women voted for Trump and 20% Black men voted for Trump.
Speaker 2:So, double. Latinos.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it also breaks down. It breaks down, you know, education, like you know the levels of education that these, these, that some of the people who voted uh had, um I think it might be deeper than that oh absolutely, you know, like, uh, education I mean, I guess, but I I don't really feel like it played a huge role in who people voted for, like their education.
Speaker 2:really, I think it comes down to like your core beliefs and values. And you know, people see Trump as a businessman, and he is a businessman. A businessman and he is a businessman, but also like a president is should be more than just a businessman, right, like, in my opinion, um, because we're human and you know, he said very insulting things and had, like a comedian, I think, at one of his rallies that, just like I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't understand like someone consistently insulting you but then being like it's fine, he can talk shit because he's a good businessman, like I don't you know what I'm saying, Cause it's like I don't understand what else it would be Right Like. It's like if someone comes up to you and they're talking shit, but then they give you money. So like does that?
Speaker 1:make you know what.
Speaker 2:I'm saying, like you know, I don't get it, or I just I don't know what, I don't know, friend, I don't know either, and the fact that so many things are like on the ballots now, whether it is state by state or whatever the fuck. Like the fact that so many things are on the ballot yet again that have been untouched, you know, for like a little while now is like what are we doing? Are we going back in time? Are we what's happening?
Speaker 2:I'm confused, you know yeah or did that shit just not change and we just like you know, I don't know, it's just so much to process.
Speaker 1:I would say we're definitely going back in time.
Speaker 1:I mean, we are definitely going to get a taste of I would say that at some point we will get a taste of a little bit of what our parents dealt with when they were growing up, or the generations before them a little bit, or their parents.
Speaker 1:I think we are definitely rolling back the times of all of the things that our parents and grandparents fought for in order to put in place, to have better rights, for us to be able to live this quote-unquote American dream, or live in a society where it's accepted by all people.
Speaker 1:We are definitely on the way right on back to where we have less rights than we had growing up, or and then our kids will have less rights than you know. We'll have less rights now as they grow over, grow up in this world, and then, on top of that, then we have policies where we don't even want to allow women to get abortions if they don't feel like they want to. If they, you know if something happened to them in their relationship, to where you know they were sexually abused or you know they slept with the wrong person and don't want to continue to have a baby with this person. You know they slept with the wrong person and don't want to continue to have a baby with this person. You know it's like we're about to bring try to make. We're going to force people to bring kids into this world.
Speaker 2:Also like there's times where like like you medically need an abortion, right Absolutely Of like your health and stuff, like some complications and stuff, and like so we're killing people now. So we're putting right Somebody at risk Two lives now right. Because so it's like a sacrifice. Sacrifice basically because, like, if one is already one life is already, you know, terminated. You're gonna put now the mother you know at risk at risk um I don't know, the lgbtq rights I.
Speaker 2:You know, what I would say, too, is that I'm not saying that every Latino Right, we all had a right to vote for whoever wanted to get that. It's America. But I think with Latino men, there is a lot of machismo, and that's always been a thing, whether that's here, mexico, wherever right, so that, I think, is also like a factor yeah, I mean sure, wherever this is.
Speaker 1:I just if you voted for the man, this is where we're at and I don't want to hear anything about any of it. No complaining, don't be trying to get him impeached. This is what you asked for. The country is going to get what they deserve. Now, at this point, if you voted for this person because everybody else that did not, I feel like either they are setting themselves up to have other options at this point, um, or they don't. You know they've been. They are going to be completely fucked over and screwed.
Speaker 2:Uh, based on the ideals that have been put out there on what this man is planning to do, a first 100 days in office, um, so you know you feel like, do you feel like this term, um, it'll be like, uh, worse than it was the last one, like since he can't come back, like maybe last time he's like he went kind of easy, because then he's like I want to get voted to come back, and now he's like this is my last term, I'm going out with the fucking bang that's what scares me yeah, yeah, I, yeah, I think that's what scares me, you know
Speaker 2:yeah it's like he doesn't have to play nice yes exactly and especially now, president he does play nice, but they don't have.
Speaker 1:You know now, they are essentially they, they. They could do whatever they want with their. They can abuse their power however they want um and can essentially do whatever like at this point. So it's wild. This is where we're at no, it's like.
Speaker 2:It's crazy to me that we're even having this like this conversation.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, on another note, um, I'm sitting in front of my hotel window and everything's covered in snow, like it is. I mean not everything, but for the snow yeah, like it is, I mean not everything, but for the most part. Like all the shit that was like green and grassy is now all white. Uh, all the trees have snow. It's very christmas, very thanksgiving looking, um, and I remember I was. I've always talked about I want to send a christmas in new york city, which I might put on the list to do next year, but, you know, depending on what me and my husband got going on, because we might be on our way out.
Speaker 2:In Mexico.
Speaker 1:And somewhere other than this country, I mean just so we can have some sort of rights and live our lives some sort of peacefully. I think one of the things to be clear is, as well, california does have a lot of protections. California is one of the most protected states. We have a lot of democratic and liberal outlooks. We do have a lot of conservatives as well too, because of the military, but for the most part, everybody in all of the political parts of california for the most part has protections in place. So then you know, all communities are mostly protected, um I feel like even the conservatives here are different versus other places.
Speaker 2:They're more like they're reserved and conservative. But just like I don't really care, just keep it away from me, type shit, or I guess 100 percent.
Speaker 1:I agree with that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and we're like as long as it doesn't bother me or my money.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know like keep it to yourself.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I agree.
Speaker 2:And versus other places where they're more like. Yes, Like you know, like in your face.
Speaker 1:you don't deserve yeah.
Speaker 2:Like try to impose on you know their beliefs onto others and like, yeah, more aggressive. You know their beliefs onto others and like, yeah, more aggressive um other than that.
Speaker 1:How's your week going? How was your weekend? I just want to say like people like, use your mental health resources yes, use that like try to give yourself some grace, like use that like try to give yourself some grace, like do what you need to do to let it out yes, drink your coffee, drink your tea.
Speaker 2:I went on the stepper machine for 40 minutes yesterday and really I love that so I'm sorry today, but, yeah, you just need to find an outlet to keep yourself sane and, like you know, my, my, my week has been going good.
Speaker 2:You know, I do work with a lot of immigrants. I work with, you know, a lot of people of color, whether that's Latino, black, whatever and so work has been like I feel like today was a little bit back to normal, but yesterday was definitely super like quiet and everyone was kind of like kept bringing it up, you know, because I feel like they just wanted to be heard or like didn't. No one knows what to expect, you know, and I and the only thing I'm telling the immigrants is like you know, because I do work with Venezuelan immigrants and stuff like that, and I'm just like you need to educate yourself and most of them work I know this may be surprising to people, but most of them work and I'm like, if you can save and get a lawyer, get a lawyer. Like you just need to prepare because things will probably change.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah so that's all you can do. Um, you know, inform them and um, you know, what's crazy to me too is, like I don't know if you've seen the tiktoks and stuff where they're saying like, oh they're, they were letting a lot of immigrants into, like maybe they're gonna use them for military and stuff like that. Um, and I ask them, like what do you think about that? And they're like, I'll do it, I'll fight for this country. Like just pay my family or whatever, like I do not care. 90, like wild to me.
Speaker 2:almost all Almost all of them say that if not all that's wild. They talk shit, but they're willing to sacrifice themselves for our freedom.
Speaker 1:You know, like I'm just like Patriarchal dominance, like.
Speaker 2:But then you're talking shit on them like I don't know. It's crazy.
Speaker 1:That's so. That's the patriarchy, right, Like you know, drop them here, bring them. We're not going to, we can't shelter you really anywhere, but if we give you a job, we know you'll fight for us. We can drop you anywhere, we tell you, and we know that you'll fight if we pay you and take care of your families. And we'll do all of that until it's over. And when it's over we're going to drop you right back off where you were.
Speaker 2:There's so many veterans in Mexico, so many.
Speaker 1:So fucked up. Some bullshit, that's bullshit. And y'all voted this motherfucker back in office Wild. It's wild to voted this motherfucker back in office Wild. It's wild to me. I don't get. I mean I get it and I know what it is, but it's just, it's beyond me, Right.
Speaker 2:It's beyond me. When do you come back?
Speaker 1:Tomorrow morning.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:So I'll be there by the afternoon. It's only a two-hour flight. It's funny that you're asking, because I'm pretty sure all of these flights that I'm seeing right now have been grounded since this morning because it's been snowing since uh, I'm like five o'clock this morning, four or five o'clock this morning oh, do you think maybe they're gonna reschedule your flight or no? It's probably gonna be delayed. I'm sure it will be.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because tomorrow is supposed to Tomorrow. I believe it's supposed to snow some more. Got it. Because we're on a storm watch.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay. My son is going to have a tournament this weekend in Temecula.
Speaker 1:Oh, another one.
Speaker 2:Yes. I heard it's still warm there, at home it, but in the morning it's cold.
Speaker 1:well, it's california cold yeah, like 53 degrees, yeah, um. Well, my weekend mostly consisted of uh, what halloween was last was last week, and then friday, um, I worked, and then saturday I chilled with my husband and then I was here, um, on sunday. I didn't do much on sunday because I got in late, so I was only able to really eat dinner, um, and then monday was like a late start day because you didn't have to really register for the conference until late monday afternoon, so I did that. Um, the conference is at the gay lord ski resort here in denver, colorado. Um, where is the same hotel that I mentioned before that we're have building enchila vista right now?
Speaker 1:um, and it's beautiful oh, it's the same chain same chain, uh, gaylord, I believe, is owned by marriott. But, um, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful resort and you know I'm very picky about hotels and stuff like that, and when I tell you that motherfucker is gorgeous, like I think it's, it's I would say it's a couple of acres, yeah, um, and it has like a huge water park area. It has a lazy river, a regular swimming pool and an indoor swimming area with a water slide. Who's that is that, diego?
Speaker 2:no, it's a bee just flew in my house in the house yes girl. No, you're fine um you saw me got nervous.
Speaker 1:I was like I know I was like what the fuck? How did it get in? Is your screen open?
Speaker 2:yes, I opened my screen because I wanted some fresh air yeah um open.
Speaker 1:Yes, I opened my screen because I wanted some fresh air. Yeah, um, girl, uh, yeah, the gaylord is gorgeous. Um, it has, yeah, the lazy river when it's open. Obviously, it's not open right now. I don't know if the indoor pool is open right now, because usually the indoor pools are open, um, when it's cold, like this, um, and then they have another regular pool, um, but for the most part, like it has every, like it has scenic, uh, or yeah, scenic scenery views.
Speaker 1:So you can see all the mountains or like panoramic views panoramic views so you can see all the mountains and snow, like the one of the main bar and restaurant areas is completely glass from the ceiling all the way down to the floor and it has a waterfall in the middle of it. Uh, and like a bar in the directly in the center of it. Um, it's just gorgeous. And I told, like I was telling paris, I was like if you wanted to come back, we could. I was like, but understand, we come back here and we stay here, we. There's no leaving here.
Speaker 1:Like right you know it's 40 minutes out of the city, like Colorado proper, Denver proper, Okay. And you know, if it's snowing, if it snows like it's been snowing when we would come, then we're not going to want to leave the property. Right. So you know it's built for you to be able to come and stay and do everything there, unless you're going to go up to the mountains and go skiing, which are pretty close as well um have you, they have a restaurant or they have lots of restaurants, yeah oh, yeah, they have um?
Speaker 1:yeah, they have a huge sports tv wall restaurant which and then at the top there's like a gourmet wine restaurant place and then the one in the center is, you know, just bar. You know you could probably order some snacks. Then they have a huge steakhouse down there on the same area and then actually they're in the middle of building another restaurant on the other side of the bar right now. Then they have Starbucks, they have a marketplace and they have a gift store, um, they have two starbucks locations actually inside um, and then they have the convention area which is attached to the building, um, but the the place is just, it's huge, it's beautiful. Yeah, I would, I would definitely come back. I would want to come back during this time of the year. I wouldn't want to come back during the summer, though.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Cause it's just so pretty.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's cool. How's the food at the restaurants?
Speaker 1:I didn't get it. I didn't really get a chance to eat there. Yesterday. I had a pastry from the little Starbucks shop which is not Starbucks pastries, it's from a different bakery and that was. You know, it was just a pastry, it was good. But I've also learned that they use a lot of local farms here for a lot of their restaurants here, like here at the Hyatt. They use all of it says on the on the menu. Thank you to all of our farmers and our partners here in Colorado that you know they provide all the food for all of the stuff that they make. So I thought that was really cool.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's cute.
Speaker 1:Same thing for there. It says it on there and on everything. Says that they, you know they use local farmers for you know their food and stuff. So at least you know they use local farmers for you know their food and stuff. Um, so at least you know it's fresh, that's pretty good right um, but I didn't really get to eat there. Like I said, it's been snowing for the last couple of days and, um, I've gone over there since monday, so monday t. Today is Thursday, thursday.
Speaker 2:Thursday.
Speaker 1:So I went over there for the last three days and it's really expensive to go back and forth, although my job is paying for it. But I'm like I'm just going to take today to stay inside with all the snow, but I am going out to dinner tonight, since there's no more snow.
Speaker 2:They're at the restaurant.
Speaker 1:No, I'm going to go to Barcelona, one of my favorite restaurants I went to when me and paris came here for valentine's day in 2020, um which you know, this area is completely different since then. They built it up and apparently it's the ghetto which love that for them, I love that this area is their ghetto. It's totally a suburb, but I'm not from here.
Speaker 2:But okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but yeah, I'm going to go to dinner back in Denver and that'll wrap up my trip.
Speaker 2:That's cute. You should have like a coffee or cocktail and like by the wall that you said that's mostly glass.
Speaker 1:I mean I won't. I'm not going to go back there though. Denver, the hotel is this way towards the airport. I'm going the opposite direction. I mean, I guess I could go there for dinner, but I don't know that I want to. That's not really what I want.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, you got to get your fix later, could go there for dinner, but I don't know that I want to. That's not really what I want.
Speaker 1:No, yeah, you gotta get your fix later I know, yes, and see, that's what I'm saying. I'm like I have to go to barcelona tonight, like what kind of food is? It is spanish uh inspired. Food like tapas and stuff they do have tapas, uh, and their main thing is the paella.
Speaker 2:Oh, so good. I love paella.
Speaker 1:It's so good and they do it like by order. It takes like 45 minutes to an hour to cook.
Speaker 1:So they're like, as long as you're willing to sit here and wait for it, we'll do it for you. It is I don't know that I'll be able to get it, because they do say it it's for two people or more, so I probably get something different. But pretty much everything we had the last time it was there was ridiculously good, and they have like a a huge wine list, so I'm about to sit there and drink some wine.
Speaker 1:you know, be cute at the bar I love that for you I'm put a little beat on tonight yes, I'll sit at the bar and see uh flex on the gram flex on the gram. Who's gonna buy me some drinks tonight? Hopefully my husband's not listening to this if he is, it's too late.
Speaker 2:Is that how you're already back?
Speaker 1:I know I'm already recording. Um, no, yeah, I just I. The food is just good, the ambiance is good. They're open from 4 to 1 am now, which is crazy. Um so, but I'm pretty sure that's because they're busy all night long. Um, I don't think they're, I don't think they're um their kitchens open that late.
Speaker 2:But we're about to see, because I'm definitely going yeah, and probably because they have a good wine selection.
Speaker 1:So a lot of people just go into their wine and stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, for sure, okay Well anything else about your weekends or things that we got going on. No, I went to like a sushi place on Sunday and it was really good. Where In Chula Vista, like Bonita area, I don't remember the name of it, but it was good. Um, I was kind of chilled this weekend since I had already gone on vacation like two weeks so I was like let me decompress and just like catch up with the household stuff and then I'm back into my journaling, taking a little break of that, and my audio books. So that was really chill.
Speaker 1:I have a book that I need to be listening to and I have not done it. I also have a I'm talking about going to dinner tonight. I have a project due tonight. It's supposed to be turned in by 1159. That I've not recorded or worked on my slides yet, but, um, it'll get done. It'll get done. It will, it will get done. Um, I don't know when I bought a bottle of hennessy while I was here and I was like I don't want it to go to waste.
Speaker 2:Yeah, of course they're not cheap.
Speaker 1:It wasn't cheap. Here it was $70. Do you know, this same bottle back home is like 40, I think it's like $45.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was going to say Hennessy was like 50 bucks $69.99 at their little liquor mart ghetto ghetto as fuck. Now, that's ghetto anyway, all right. Well, you guys, it's officially holiday season. Uh, you know, I was telling paris. The plus side about all of this is that we can now celebrate christmas, starting from now until the beginning of the year yes, I think that's becoming more of a thing, like people are putting their trees up already yes, because they're depressed about the state of the fucking world that we're in.
Speaker 1:And that's the only thing that brings people joy is motherfucking christmas in the holiday season. Unless you have like, unless you're just like the fucking grinch, like there's no other way that you can find joy. Christmas is the only thing in the holidays that brings everyone else happy in us. Okay, and like traveling.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I'm like. You know any way to escape reality is how people would get happy. You know, there's somebody right now who is in their virtual reality, who's enjoying themselves, because this reality is bullshit and I feel that Get out of the matrix. Exactly, they're in a different matrix.
Speaker 2:They're escaping the matrix. It's fine.
Speaker 1:But yes, it's holiday season.
Speaker 2:Are you going to put your tree up when you come back?
Speaker 1:We're going to start working on it. Yes, I'm going to start getting the house turned over for the holiday season. I have a couple of things that I want to order, because I think I want to try and fill up the yard a little bit more this year. Stephanie, I don't know if you meant to look like you were judging me, but the judge Wow meant to look like you were judging me, but the judge Wow. I just bring toys, no, no no no.
Speaker 2:Dana your front yard or your back yard.
Speaker 1:The front yard.
Speaker 2:Dana, I'm so confused right now.
Speaker 1:What's happening the front yard? Dana, I'm so confused right now.
Speaker 2:What's happening? These gays and their decorations are out of control. No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1:That's right. That's right because we're going to be voted the best house on the block this year. Correct Period Period.
Speaker 2:No, I was just laughing because you had a lot of the those inflatable um, those inflatable decorations. Last year you had a shitload. So I'm like thinking like where is there gonna be space? But I know you'll find a way, friend. I have as long as you know that's all that matters, because I'm gonna be right there to get my instagram pictures exactly because I want some reindeer.
Speaker 1:I need some reindeer things that can go in my yard. I also need some new little. I need some new pathway lights, um oh, yeah, like the light bulbs, because some of them ran out and it rains so heavy over the every year it rains so heavy Every year it rains fucking heavy and they go out.
Speaker 2:So when I get home I start testing the lights Some of them are yeah, Do you think the rain messes with that?
Speaker 1:Not the solar ones, the ones that plug in.
Speaker 2:Yes, because the water gets on the inside. But some of those I need to replace, oh, but the solar ones it doesn't. Oh, okay, that's good to know um, so, yeah, it's holiday season.
Speaker 1:If you need to escape and embrace it early, do that? Um, we're about to get into some good conversation. Um, hopefully it helps you think about other things, other than the state of the times that we're in right now. And, yeah, but we're going to take a quick break and then we'll be right back.

Speaker 2:So I just got a message from my son's school.
Speaker 1:Saying what.
Speaker 2:During lunch there was an incident with students from another class who had makeup on the playground. A large group of students started encouraging boys to put on makeup and some of our class joined in on the incident. Please make sure all makeup stays at home. We also talked about if someone is doing something we know is inappropriate we need to walk away about if someone is doing something we know is inappropriate, we need to walk away.
Speaker 1:How old are?
Speaker 2:these kids? They're juniors, age right, so like eight, nine between eight and ten.
Speaker 1:None of the kids should be wearing makeup. In general, right so whose mama let their child come to school with makeup on or in their bag, or whose child stole the makeup from their mom, because I bet you that's what happened they snuck shit and snuck it at school um why do I feel like amaya would do some shit like that?
Speaker 2:oh, because you know she will so I'm gonna be checking that bag yes, she's already in your shed oh, this morning I told her to get dressed. Sorry, I know I'm getting distracted, but I told her get dressed.
Speaker 2:I gave her her clothes it was the end of the world because she's not a morning person and she got her. She was having a meltdown and she's like there, are you happy now? Walked out, closed the door and I was just like I'm sorry, what just happened? And I was like I think I just saw a glimpse into my future.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I was like what the fuck? I was like girl, I don't know who you think you're talking to, but I am happy now actually actually thank you for doing what I asked, but go off oh my gosh, it's funny.
Speaker 1:I was just on tiktok and one of the videos was it showed the different generations and how they respond to their children when they're being super smart and I mean these kids these days, I don't know girl.
Speaker 2:They be trying it, man.
Speaker 1:They be trying it, they be trying it and they try whatever they can. At this point they're doing whatever they can to piss somebody off. You know what? I love that for them. I want to see how far they get, because me. One thing about me, friend I don't play the way I'm set up is you're gonna get your head knocked off your shoulders okay, um focus contrary to popular belief.
Speaker 1:That was not what today's topic was supposed to be. We have completely gotten off track, but I'm sure you guys will love that um. So today we're going to be talking through some rags to riches stories um that we have found. For some of our, I would say, some of the ones I found were all um celebrities from like the 90s, 90s, eight, yeah, 90s, 80s. A good mix, I guess. I would say um yeah, so we're gonna get into that. Um. Who should we start with, though, friend?
Speaker 2:I think we should like ease into it okay, we'll tell, let's start in it with MC Hammer okay, you want to start with it so.
Speaker 1:So the idea was to just talk about our favorite celebrities. That are not our favorite celebrities, but celebrities that were faves, that were super rich and then ended up not being so rich.
Speaker 1:And you know just kind of what happened to, kind of their downfall, how they ended up in the place that they're in now, type of thing. So so yes, mc Hammer. If you all know, mc Hammer was one of the biggest names in hip-hop during like the late 80s and early 90s. Um, he has songs like too legit to quit you can't touch this. Um, pumps and a bump, which is one of my favorites. Have you ever seen that video?
Speaker 2:um, I think I have it's it. He's like on the, it's like a bump, like a butt or which one that's that's. I like big butts that's a different song.
Speaker 1:That's I have a big butt and I cannot lie song, which I think is called baby got back. That's not MC Hammer, but pumps in Bump was a song where he had two different music videos actually. So he did it recorded at his that million dollar mansion that we're going to talk about later. And then he did another one once he got signed to Death Row Records, where he did it with like Tupac was there, he was there. And what's that big, tall nigga name Sno?
Speaker 1:name um, this is how we do it montel, jordan was in the video and the girl and the girls was like straight up 90s gear, straight up like booty shorts, knee pads, combat boots, with like beanies and puff jackets. I love that video. They did a fit One of my favorite dance moves. They were on their heads and they were, you know, jerking their legs up and down. I was like, oh, I want to do that. I used to do it when I was younger, but I can't do it no more.
Speaker 2:And tell me about it. I need to start doing some yoga or something, because I love that.
Speaker 1:That reminds you of yoga a bitch's knees.
Speaker 2:They pop in and you know.
Speaker 1:I love that. I mean um. You definitely gotta get your stretch on. I got a massage yesterday. It was fantastic. Um over there yes, yeah, I told Paris. I was like I might get a massage and I did. It was fantastic, uh, and it was. He was stretching my, my hamstrings and, you know, stretching my leg and making it pop lock and I was like, okay, jesus. And then I had to put a Solano patch on because I wanted to get?
Speaker 2:Was that the massage therapist in Jesus?
Speaker 1:No, his name was Ryan. He looks like a Jesus, though His name was Ryan. Shout out to him. I did tell him about our show Shout out to Ryan, shout out to him.
Speaker 2:I did tell him about our show.
Speaker 1:Shout out to Ryan, shout out to Ryan. So, mc Hammer Song you can't touch. This made him a multi-millionaire at the height of his career and was worth and he was worth $70 million During the time of his career. You can tell that MC Hammer starts to spend a lot of money. Uh, he spent a lot on dancers, music videos.
Speaker 1:Uh, cars, homes and other luxury items which then, you know, during the time of the 80s and the 90s, you know that, um, I will say that, my, what I think is that it looked like they were giving them advances. It's like a book, right? A book. A publishing agency gives you an advance on a book. You then have to pay that back once you have made money from the book and then you get your profit from the book, right? So these labels would give them money for specific things. They'll pay for the music videos, they'll pay for, you know, your home. They'll pay for all of these things and give you money, but you have to pay for your studio time. You have to pay back for, you know, that money on that house, house, that money on all of those things. So if you're spending all of this money from the label and your audio engineer your audio engineer, all of those things.
Speaker 1:And then, at what point are you putting the money away for yourself, right like, what money are you actually making in order to be able to support yourself and your family at this point, because that nigga has some kids? Right and a wife, so he he had a family he had to take care of a master feed um.
Speaker 1:So a lot of his downfall was all of that spending of his money, which then led to him filing bank bankruptcy in 19 in 1996, which he reported a debt of 13 million dollars shit back then and you have to think that's like back then, you know right, yeah, yeah, yeah that's probably like good double now, because if not triple yeah, inflation inflation.
Speaker 1:And you know, I the way I think about this is I think of beyonce, right like um, a lot of people are always curious as to why Beyonce charges so much for all of her tickets, her beautiful, luxurious items that she sells at her concerts. You know why is she always putting things out for you people to buy? It's because she still has people to pay. Putting things out for you people to buy, it's because she still has people to pay. Like you know, the millions of dollars that she's making is not just hers, she has staff and it's an enterprise. At this point, right like you know, you have to think of these things like, if you're going to support your artist, support your artist. Isn't that right, stephanie?
Speaker 2:yes, friend, go off, you get your yonsei gear, my high quality luxury yonsei you seem demure sure? Um, it's the you people for me.
Speaker 1:Go buy your stuff, peasants I mean I don't have any troubles so um so, rebuilding mc hammer's career. I think eventually he did pivot to tech investments and became a preacher which if you watch any of the documentaries about his life or about his career, you see that the preacher part was a big. For the most part of all the documentaries I've seen him being a preacher and going to the church has been a good portion of of his comeback in those documentaries. The tech investments I do know a little bit about that working in the tech industry and then, of course, him maintaining a modest lifestyle. I don't know where he lives now actually.
Speaker 1:Yeah now actually, yeah, um, but I can only assume that he's living somewhere where he can get a little bit more money out of bank for his buck, because the house he built, I believe, was actually in the hayward hills, if I'm am I correct, there was that house, it was near, it was in there, the bay area, I believe. I can't remember mc hammer.
Speaker 2:Where is he now?
Speaker 1:yeah, let's look that up, let's see where he is now um, because I remember the house was like. It was like this huge round building um, and that was the one that that ended up having him go bankrupt because it was just too much money.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But it was dope. I remember it looked really nice. It had his initials on the gate. He had his own dance studio on the inside. I think he had a basketball court. He had like a huge swimming pool.
Speaker 2:It says that he lived in Fremont, california. That's where it was, and it says now he lived in fremont, california. That's where it was okay and it says now he lives in tracy, california, and he moved there 12 years ago to reorganize and refocus his life after his music career declined and is in a quiet neighborhood and is involved in the community.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so then he still lives in the Bay. Yes, fremont, I do remember that, because you could see it on the way to Tahoe. That's what it was. Okay. Because it's in the hills.
Speaker 2:Where's Tracy?
Speaker 1:It's literally there. It's like so Oakland East Oakland, san Leandro, hayward, fremont, tracy. Got it. They're all like little cities in the Bay Area.
Speaker 2:It's like San Diego right. So it's like Chula Vista, old Thai Ranch, east Lake, like that.
Speaker 1:Except it's more of a straight shot. Got it in a specific direction. Um, and that's the story of mc hammer, do you? Uh who should we go to next? Should we go to charlie sheen?
Speaker 2:let's do it, let's dive in, yeah, so.
Speaker 2:Charlie Sheen landed his rise to fame. He landed a breakthrough role in Oliver Stone's autobiographical war drama called Platoon in 1986. He did earn a recognition for his brutally realistic portrayal of a young soldier's tour um of duty in vietnam and he did win four oscars, including best picture that film. In 2003 he starred in um the horror spoof, a scary movie three, with director david sucker. She then landed a starring role as uh the, you know as the bachelor charlie harper on the cbs sitcom two and a half men, and at one point he was reportedly earning 1.8 million dollars an episode, making him the highest paid actor on television I remember when he was doing that.
Speaker 1:Um, I didn't watch the show. Um, and I'm sorry, charlie sheen wasn't the big dig dildo maker I was talking about. I was talking about screech from um um yeah, that show.
Speaker 1:Y'all know what I'm talking about. Anyway, I didn't watch that show. Two and a half men no, it wasn't in a. I had an era of time where I was not really into sitcoms. Two and a Half Men also started, if I'm correct, or was ending during the time of. Well, I'm sorry. Okay, let's rewind. So the Parkers and then the, the sisters, show to the journey of discovery you finding you and finding me with mona and the sister, I think it was like.
Speaker 1:I don't remember. Anyway, that show was on. Two and a half men has started to um they started in 2003 and ended in 2015 exactly, yeah, so during that time I was like I was in, I was watching the parkers, I was watching other shit, I was watching girlfriends. Like you know, I wasn't really watching that show yeah um, I also was. Then I was getting older, I was watching 106 and park a lot yeah, and then I started watching scandal and all of that shit was coming on.
Speaker 1:So yeah it just wasn't for me, so I was watching that and then, like um, fucking one-on-one was on, like you know, mtv.
Speaker 2:MTV TRL, trl. Like all the things were on.
Speaker 1:We were busy, so I didn't have no time for no white drama shows.
Speaker 2:I think like, yeah, I would see it sometimes like on TV, because they would play it a lot and I feel like they still do a lot of reruns, so I would watch it occasionally lot, and I feel like they still do a lot of reruns, um, so I would watch it occasionally like here and there. Um, I feel like later on that they would do their reruns a lot. That's kind of when I would start seeing it more, um, just because the humor I guess when you're older is different than at the age that you know you mentioned. And yeah, I mean he's funny, you know he is funny he's, he's funny.
Speaker 2:They were, the show was funny um him and that that little boy um it was it's funny uh, the little boy on the because the son that was his son right uh, no, it was his nephew oh, his nephew okay uh-huh, it was his nephew on the show and you know so he's like the rich uncle, the cool uncle and you know the uncle that gets bitches.
Speaker 2:So so, seeing that dynamic, you know, with his nephew, but yeah, that's. You know, that's kind of when he started getting his, his fame at its peak, I guess. But he, he did have a lot of battles with drug and alcohol, alcohol, alcohol abuse during this time. Um, he did have a lot of, you know, incidents through the years where he, you know, was just like, either he overdosed or was just seen out, you know, drunk, intoxicated, high, whatever he was on. And, um, he did have a freak accident that resulted in his fiancee getting shot in the arm in 1990.
Speaker 2:Um, then in 1998 he was hospitalized for a cocaine overdose and it was very well known that he did have a sex and porn addiction. Um, his ex-wife would, you know, touch on that also. And in, he was arrested for domestic violence because he allegedly choked and threatened to kill a porn actress, and he was arrested for domestic violence in 2009,. And then he was sued for for that in 2010. And then he was sued for assault and sexual battery in 2014. So all that happened we would see. I mean, I remember seeing it like in magazines and stuff like that, where he was constantly just like in the jail out of jail in the news, in and out of publicity.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do, I remember the same shit.
Speaker 2:You know he was getting involved in and partying and all that, um. So then in 2014 I think 2013, 2014 is when he came out and did confirm his diagnosis of HIV AIDS and in 2014, he was sued for he was sued by two of his exes for not telling them that he had HIV before they had unprotected sex, before they had unprotected sex. The first incident Occurred in 2015. And then in 2017. Of when he was sued for those things, that's insane. I can't imagine Like yeah.
Speaker 1:I feel like those are fighting words to me, but y'all still be. Y'all still be out here thinking family is greasy. Look, I'm over here trying to figure out charlie's scene is. Is charlie sheen still alive?
Speaker 1:he is still alive because in that you want to know why. That's the first thing I thought of. Because if I slept with anybody and they had HIV AIDS and they didn't tell me first, you wouldn't have to Google it. Because I understand, I've never had no issues with dating anybody that is HIV positive or, you know, I've never had any issues with that. I've dated guys that were HIV positive but, I have. You know, that's never been an issue for me.
Speaker 1:But, you do have to disclose that information to me before you know we date or we do anything sexually Like? Are you crazy? Right. No, yeah, I have. I've never that's not been an issue for me. I've, I know my research. I know how to read, so yeah, I know what can happen and what I need to do to make sure I protect myself.
Speaker 2:Um yeah, right but if you try to play me, no, you're gonna have to get got right, I agree, uh, because at the end of the day, you're putting someone's life at risk you are in hell and you're not giving a fuck about it.
Speaker 1:You're having no regard towards anything yes, except yourself um, let's see, do we have enough time to go into one more?
Speaker 2:okay, wait, so now oh he's six years sober oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:Oh no, it's okay. So now he's six years sober.
Speaker 2:He said in an interview he has a very consistent lifestyle now. Um, it's all about like single dad stuff, his 14 year old twin boys um, he did end up, you know, reconciling or, reconciling, reconciling with, uh, the director of two and a half men and he did make an appearance on two episodes, um, but it seems like he just lives more of a quiet lifestyle now and just like with his kids, because 14 year old kids he's still, he's older he's in his 60s yeah, and has young children.
Speaker 2:So good for him for just focusing on that now and getting sober right yeah that's you can't, that's, that's more, um, how do I say it like that? That's more important, that's better quality than any fame, any fortune or anything like that. Right like having your health, your sanity and sobriety if you struggle with addiction addiction.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I, I just feel like people struggle with a lot of things, especially celebrities. Um, I, you know, my thing is and I think I say this all the time is that through what we do here, as we get big, grow, you know, seek mental health. If you need any, go talk to somebody you know struggling with things. It's funny that just thinking about that is it's just. I listen to a show and they're always talking about going on tour and one of the hosts of the show is not about going on tour, like completely against it, I mean, and it doesn't have to be said, like it's clear that no, I'm not interested in doing it right now.
Speaker 1:You become to you, how reachable you become to people when you're consistently on a stage or consistently on a platform or you're in social media. Because, I mean, charlie sheen didn't know nothing about social media back when he first started because that wasn't a thing, but as he started to get you know, more famous, I think instagram started in 2001 or 2000. I don't know, I may be on or off, but you'll tell me and clarify. But you know, a lot of those things play a factor into how these celebrities exist now in the world and how accessible they are to just the public yeah and you know we talked about making oh, 2010, okay, so way later than that.
Speaker 1:So, um, and then they ended in 2015. Right the show.
Speaker 1:So you know, at that point, everybody was creating social media pages right um, so you, you just have to realize some of that shit plays a part. And then when people have an addictive mentality on top of that, like you know and don't know how to cope with other bullshit, like it's just, it's a pile on of of shit like right, so well, I'm glad he's living a healthy lifestyle now and I'm glad he is hopefully he's learned and sober, you know. Good luck to him and everything that he has going on hopefully he controls his sexual desires yes, we hope.
Speaker 1:before we get into the next part, let's move into a break, and then we will be right back.
Speaker 2:Bye.
Speaker 1:Bye, and we are back, okay, so we're going to close this thing out and we're going to talk about we decided on Johnny Depp.
Speaker 2:Johnny Daddy.
Speaker 1:Johnny Daddy. So Stephanie, I was. Should I not say what we're talking about I?
Speaker 2:don't care, you can, it's okay.
Speaker 1:I don't even know if there's nude photos of him out. You know they have like a platform where they show, give the people some context. Okay, fine, I said. I asked Stephanie do we think Johnny Depp has a big dick? Stephanie said she thinks it's a thick one or he knows how to fuck. I said okay. So then we started. What do you think? I do think it's. I think it's nice and juicy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it's. I think it's nice and juicy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think he gives picasso, I like it, you know it. Just he, he, I look at him, but I, however, I do look at him and I know he doesn't take a bath regularly, right, and then that's where you lose me. It's funny that. So the funny part was that I was in hawaii and I said the same thing about some of the the men's as I saw there and I got asked what is your obsession with men taking a bath?
Speaker 2:I'm like well are we not all on the same page here? I'm confused.
Speaker 1:I mean, if you can wash at least once a day. That's all I'm asking. That's all I'm asking.
Speaker 2:Please lift scrub.
Speaker 1:No, come on.
Speaker 2:Spread Scrub, scrub. Uh-huh. Uh-huh, scrub, scrub, scrub hair please, because I don't like smelling. Just you know, the ear flap scrub.
Speaker 1:I'll get your ass in the shower for at least the bare minimum 15, 20 minutes is the bare minimum. That's all I'm asking. Get in there, scrub it down, wash it down and sure After that. That's the bare minimum, I guess, because it seems like I'm asking for too much right anyway, johnny Depp, johnny B.
Speaker 1:So, as we know, johnny Depp is a huge Hollywood actor, mostly known for his. Johnny Depp is a huge Hollywood actor, mostly known for his blockbuster roles in Pirates of the Caribbean and Edward Scissorhands, which both of these movies, which Pirates of the Caribbean had several movies I think they went up to five um movies, I think they went up to five um. And then edward scissorhands was a a very big and famous movie in that uh, late 80s, early 90s yeah, and it still is now right, like during halloween, I guess yeah, I mean I, I want.
Speaker 1:If it's on tv, I'll watch it. You know I don't have cable, but if it's on somewhere then I won't turn from it. It's not one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 2:I do like it.
Speaker 1:The only part I like is when he cuts the bushes.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that's funny. I do like the little love story.
Speaker 1:It's cute, I would it's almost very Twilight, the whole storyline and him being some like random zombie-ish person. Um, it's a good movie. I do enjoy it, but I don't go back and watch it consistently. No, I don't. Yeah, um, the other movies I I liked him in, uh, charlie in the chocolate factory, uh, when he was in those movies, um, I feel like he plays a good out-of-the-box character, is what I would say. I've only seen him in one movie where he played a spy or a husband of the spy or something like that, and it was okay. But I like him more when he plays, like you know, charlie and the Chocolate Factory or he plays Jack from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Speaker 1:He played a great Jack. But you know, the more we get into the story, the more I'm like I wonder you know? They say that your true, who you are truly sometimes comes out in the characters that you play. Because you know Jack was, was toxic, he was drunk all the time and or high and uh was stealing, uh, he was a pirate.
Speaker 1:So you know, known for ceilings to steal things. Yeah, um, the downfall of johnny Depp. Reportedly he spent $2 million a month on lavish lifestyle, including luxury homes, which we know, lots of expensive alcohol in our wines and collectibles. He also faced a lot of legal battles with his former between their divorce case with him and Amber Heard. That was largely on TikTok and social media. She talked about abuse, she talked about drug and alcoholism between the both of them and it was a huge thing, a huge defamation of character on both ends they talked about and it just it was a lot. It was a big, big story, especially that a lot of people sat home and watched during the pandemic.
Speaker 2:Definitely, especially that a lot of people sat home and watched during the pandemic. Definitely, um, and I feel like it brought to light a lot of different like of how he is, I guess, when dating, but also like the way he carried himself mm-hmm he was so hot during that trial he was he was suited, he had, he was just like the sad part is there are people having the same conversation, right the toxicity that we love and we love a good red flag
Speaker 1:um just for fun though yes, just for fun, I don't. I don't need no red flags in my life, to be honest, right? Um? So the the case between amber heard and him uh, definitely stained his finances. Uh, if you again watch any of the trial, you know that they were in and out of court for a good amount of time. In 2017, he filed a lawsuit against his management company, claiming mismanagement of his that time. That was a lot of I will say a lot of his money at that time was coming from those movies, because those movies were super, super famous and still are right.
Speaker 2:Um um, but I think they did remove him right as as the main character, as Jack, because of the trial and the allegations and everything else.
Speaker 1:Yep, he will not. I think there's one more movie that was supposed to come out that he won't be playing his character in. It does say in rebuilding his career, he continued acting, though with a reduced profile. He has sought out to rev rebuilding his career. He continued acting, though with a reduced profile. He has sought out to revamp his career in Europe and smaller film projects. I don't know what any of those smaller film projects are, but I would love to see Johnny Depp play a gay character are you projecting your fantasy?
Speaker 1:now what can we get? You know, europe loves a good gay movie. They love full frontals and back shots. So let's see show the people show it off, let's see it come on be about it be about your shit. Pull it out, pop your shit. Show us what it's do. Let's see you, johnny. Let's see you're gonna show it. You're gonna pull it out. Let's see it, jenny. Ew, ew.
Speaker 2:Let's do one more.
Speaker 1:I'm just, you know, look, I'm just trying to help him in his career, right?
Speaker 2:They're not just saying anything.
Speaker 1:Kenyanna's here.
Speaker 2:Heniana in the flesh.
Speaker 1:Heniana in the flesh Dropping shit on your chest.
Speaker 2:Happy for a real one.
Speaker 1:Lastly, I think we can balance this out because we've talked about a lot of men, so let's talk about Lindsay Lohan, um. So Lindsay Lohan, we know, became a major star in 2000s with the film of Mean Girls, um, and she was also in Parent Trap, where she played twin girls, um, for a couple. Oh, my god, who was the? Oh, don't make me go in google, but parent trap was one of the is. It was a remake from, I believe, the 80s, um, and then they remade it in disney, uh, and lindsey lohan played, uh, the main two little girl twin characters in that show. Very good movie. And those were her two big claim to fames, other than everything else she was doing in Nickelodeon at the time. And then, as you see, you know everything that has come out about Nickelodeon, which we did a whole nother episode on. So you know, know, go back and listen to the episode. Um, other than that, uh.
Speaker 1:Lindsey lohan's downfall, however, was her struggle with substance abuse. Uh, she had different legal troubles as she got older. I remember specifically her getting pulled over for a dui and uh, spending money, a lavish lifestyle which led to lots of financial issues and at one point she owed hundreds of thousands in unpaid taxes and faced a series of lawsuits. So if you remember, I would say around those mid twenties, like 2015 ish, she was in and out of the courtroom was highly publicized on like mtv um, her in and out of court and things like that. Um, she has been back to working, uh, since rebuilding her career and on a personal recovery journey. Uh, she's been taking on small acting roles. Actually, she was in a big holiday movie last year, so if you didn't watch it last year, you should definitely go and watch it. She even manages her own resort in Mykonos, greece and showing a quieter lifestyle than her previous holidays. Yes, she's out here.
Speaker 2:Still I, she had a baby and everything also right. So I feel like she does well with like rom-coms and stuff like or yeah, like stuff like that, like chick flicks, like yeah, I feel like she does well with that and she looks so much healthier now and I'm so happy because I, you know she went through a lot of shit as a child star. She was a disney star right, because um freaky friday also was um like a disney movie. So you know she went through a lot and struggled with that. So I think it's awesome to see her looking like healthy and just like switching her life up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I think she she looks good, she looks healthy, she looks like you know she's in back out there, you know, trying to make some monies.
Speaker 2:And the way she speaks and everything is just you could tell she's in a different headspace. Like a new chapter.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which is good. Again, I think I go back to all of these. Stars started their careers early. Some started really young.
Speaker 2:Right early.
Speaker 1:Some started really young, and I think it's important to point out that when you start a career really early like that and you are easily accessible to society and the people around you, everybody wants something specific and different. People want you, your managers want you to present in a different type of way, and that can be taxing on anybody. It's not easy Bless you. It's not easy, and it takes away from who you are as a person to where you become kind of this robot for the industry, right Like, which can then be a whole other thing as to why your mental health starts to break down and you break down as to who you are. So it's important just to you know we always have to be mindful that the celebrities and the people that we idolize after or that we love are humans just as well as we are, I agree, okay, well, hopefully you enjoyed that conversation.
Speaker 1:we are going to wrap this up and we are going to take a break and then we'll come back with our final spiritual segment. Bye, hey, y'all.

Anyway, thank you for following us and thank you for listening, and we'll see you back for the remainder of the show. Bye, and we are back to wrap up the show with our spiritual segment.
Speaker 1:All right, so I'm going to quickly share the cards that we pulled. So we pulled the wands of swords and so, sorry, we put the four wands and we put the six swords, and the two questions that Stephanie and I asked were what will the last two months of this year be like, and then also what will be the trajectory of the next year? So, based on this information, so let's talk about the Four of Wands. So the Four of Wands is often associated with the celebration of stability, community and joy. It represents moments of achievement, harmony and a sense of homecoming. It can indicate that something you've been working on will come from what, that will come into fruition. So, to actually come into it, it actually happened, leading to a period of satisfaction, relief and or even gathering people in your honor. This card is about savoring good times and embracing the feel of security and joy that comes from being with those who support you.
Speaker 1:The Six of Swords is about transition, moving away from difficulties and seeking a new path. So it's interesting, especially for the question that I asked for that question. It often signals a journey of physically, a journey of physically, emotionally or mentally away from turbulence towards a calmer and more stable state. It may involve leaving behind painful memories or experiences to find peace. This card is about moving towards hope and healing, often after a period of struggle.
Speaker 1:So, relating to our questions, the four. So the first one was, like I mentioned. Stephanie asked what will the last two months of the year be like? So the four of wands suggests that the last two months of the year could be marked by a sense of stability, completion and celebration, which is that makes sense for the year end. If you've been putting effort in personal goals, work or relationships. This card implies that you'll feel recognized and appreciated. Card implies that you'll feel recognized and appreciated. Events like gatherings with friends or family or milestones in your career or personal life might bring a sense of fulfillment and gratitude. It's time to enjoy what you've built and community you have around you. For my second question, which was what will the trajectory of the new year be like? For my second question, which was what will the trajectory of the new year be like?
Speaker 1:The Six of Swords points to transition into the new year. This suggests that, while you start the year with a reflective outlook, you'll likely move towards a period of peace and healing. Perhaps you're leaving behind things that no longer serve you, or you'll start taking steps to create a new beginning in a particular area in your life. The new year may be about finding more balance and inner peace and clarity, allowing you to leave behind any remaining challenges from the past year. In conclusion, the Four of Wands brings joy and celebration to close out the year, while the Six of Swords sets a course for moving beyond past difficulties and starting a fresh new start Together. These cards indicate a comforting, celebratory end to the current chapter, followed by a gentle shift towards growth and peace in the next.
Speaker 1:so it seems like we're moving into some newness and it seems like a new chapter is coming and, um, it doesn't sound like anything negative, that's for sure. So that's actually.
Speaker 2:I'm happy for that, um, because, as we know, yeah, I think, maybe just having like some happiness, you know, like you said, like positive energy and stuff to finish the year. And then you know, I feel like every new year brings changes, new beginnings and stuff, new opportunities and, you know, room for growth. So I'm happy to hear that.
Speaker 1:Yes, same. I'm looking forward to the newness, I'm looking forward to the new year and I'm looking forward to just something different and something else, and we'll see how that will end up being. Yeah, I mean for me. For the most part, I'm just like you know. For some reason, the decision of the election put me back into the space of okay, let's move forward, like I don't have any emotion to give, I'm not going to overthink it. I'm not going to overthink it. I'm not going to do anything else other than what I've been doing.
