00:14

00:15
You can do your thing.
00:16
Welcome back to Mo Daily.
00:18
I'm and let's not forget the cheeseme corner.
00:24
Some guys What's Daniela over here on the right.
00:29
I'm glad they're happy because they were fighting earlier.
00:31
I know I felt the tension in the kitchen.
00:34
Professionals. I had the hoodie on,
00:37
someone died or something,
00:39
right? Well I get it.
00:40
We see each other every day like we bicker like me and
00:43
you we bicker look look here.
00:47
be squash beef is squash.
00:49
I love that. I love that squash over there anyways,
00:53
we have a lot of stories,
00:54
guys, let's get into it.
00:56
chiming in the comments where I,
00:58
I, let me refresh my screen because I can see your
00:59
comments as they come in,
01:02
up with us and we'll definitely acknowledge you yeah we'll give you
01:06
guys some some love because last time was it Cavino was active
01:10
bro. Every story he had like he was he was
01:13
putting his 2 cents every time.
01:14
So we by the time he put in his 2 cents we
01:16
had like $1. So Das are on points.
01:25
but first story is actually I'm gonna deliver it to you guys
01:28
So you guys know new era hats,
01:30
right? Baseball seasons around the corner.
01:33
They supply the official caps for the players in the league,
01:36
so they dropped a new line of overlap hats and
01:40
so essentially the design is that like.
01:42
You get like the team's name or the city and they put
01:45
the big like logo over it.
01:47
Oh that's cute, yeah,
01:50
I think the objective.
01:51
They're trying to be cute and cool with it,
01:53
but exactly creative, but the hats went viral for the wrong
01:58
they look a little awkward and maybe not,
02:02
some may say. So one example that's out there is,
02:05
there's a new baseball team out there.
02:06
It's called the Tetas Rangers.
02:09
Yeah, so now Texas tetas.
02:13
So essentially the tits,
02:18
who approved this exactly,
02:20
was there a Latino in the Definitely not in the building or
02:25
on the table. Who knows?
02:26
Maybe they, there was,
02:27
they were, they were sending subliminal messages.
02:31
the tetas Rangers, that new one,
02:33
and obviously the internet like so and like yo.
02:36
They had the same thoughts you guys did.
02:37
Who, who approved this?
02:39
Did they not like oversee like,
02:41
yeah, the QC wasn't on point and there's more teams too
02:44
apparently someone here,
02:45
Clipper Carlos is like the Astros were the assholes,
02:49
and they were already like that because they cheated in the 2017
02:52
World Series. I would lit that.
02:55
that's what they are.
02:56
Sorry guys, people want the hat in Dallas is it Dallas
03:05
not Dallas Houston Houston,
03:07
Houston, Houston Assals,
03:11
but yeah, there's angels got the annals essentially,
03:16
and then someone said I feel represented with the tetas
03:19
I mean, not for nothing either.
03:21
People are asking, I would I would loud and proud.
03:25
Me too. I would want a t-shirt that says it here
03:32
Oh my God, and the anal,
03:36
that one, yeah that's funny.
03:38
So angels already asked,
03:44
the hat since they removed it is $11,000 on eBay right now
03:47
Wait, so someone did get there no people did get
03:49
them. They're selling them on eBay for $1000.
03:52
I know on like Pride these would look so good as outfit
03:57
and accessories. Yes,
03:59
man. So if you're one of the lucky few that got
04:01
your hands on these,
04:03
let us know because.
04:05
yeah, it would have been perfect for International Women's Day.
04:10
It would have done numbers if they would have left it honestly
04:12
an assholes like bro,
04:15
who dirty motherfuckers over there anyway like middle school,
04:18
like the era of middle schools,
04:21
yeah, like what's the name.
04:26
big boobs equals big responsibilities.
04:28
Wait, Boston Red Sox,
04:30

04:31
Bobong, I think it's spelled Bonbonbon.
04:35

04:37
Oh. What does bobon mean?
04:42
I mean, my team doesn't look that bad,
04:48

04:51
Where we at? Nobody cares about them.
04:54

04:55

04:56
and now it's time for the next story.
04:57
Who's got it? I got it.
05:02

05:07

05:14
I'm excited. Oh my goodness,
05:17

06:13
He reminds me of my little Frenchie and he acts like him
06:15

06:55
Look, this is like this walked so this could run.
06:58
Yeah, oh there you go,
06:59
yeah, I would do both too.
07:04
honestly, I'm, I'm for the remakes sometimes when they're done
07:09
right like this. This is fine,
07:10
but there's some movies that are like,
07:12
oh, why? They ruined it.
07:15
Oh yeah, because these are precious to us.
07:17
This is what we grow up to,
07:18
but then when they do them right,
07:21
super stoked. We got some thirsty people in here.
07:23
Someone said. Sister though.
07:25
Oh, she was she was a baddie in the car she
07:26
She had to be a little crop,
07:26

07:44
Oh, it's a kid's movie.
07:44
Oh yeah, so excited,
07:45
so excited someone said oh.
07:47
Now I like the Snow White movie.
07:48
Oh shades. Oh my God,
07:52
OG Lion King better than the remake.
07:58
the most recent, well,
08:00
there was the most recent one like this,
08:01
the origin story. Yes,
08:05
And then they actually did the other one too,
08:08
but like the OGs Mufasa was the most recent,
08:11
yeah, I preferred Original.
08:14
The second one, in order for how they came out.
08:17
I love that movie so much.
08:19
The second one I watched 3 times in theaters.
08:21
I don't know, something about Beyonce.
08:23
The second one, yeah,
08:26
Oh, like the the remake of the live action.
08:32
There's so many, there's so many Disney.
08:35
yeah, these, and it's crazy how these movies just get
08:37
us in our fields like I already know I'm gonna cry in
08:39
this one. I already know my throat's gonna be 50 500
08:43
millioning weekend, 500 million you guys someone said that the.
08:47
Shrek remake got the Sonic treatment.
08:58
We just talked about that.
08:58
We did talk about that.
08:58
What did we say he's he's skin.
08:59
Shrek,, someone said,
09:01
we got some love from Sunkist Sarah Jane.
09:04
Love you guys, always make me smile.
09:08
You just made us smile.
09:09
That was really nice.
09:13
That's awesome. Oh man,
09:13
but catching strays and yeah,
09:15
but we're excited. We're excited.
09:16
Let us know what you think.
09:19
she's in the corner has been kind of quiet.
09:20
You guys got some stories.
09:22
Yeah, besides the fact that we're beefing,
09:25
you had a little crash out this morning.
09:27
You did. He crashed out and that's exactly why we're gonna
09:30
talk about this piece of news,
09:32
because Gen Z and millennials are experiencing peak stress much earlier than
09:37
older generations. Yeah,
09:40
I, I know I felt it we felt it we've seen
09:42
it., but basically the survey found that younger Americans
09:46
are blaming finances, politics,
09:49
work, work, and physical health as the top causes for
09:52
burnout. Older generations like Gen X,
09:55
Baby Boomer, or the boomers,
09:58
they used to burn out,
09:59
crash out around 42.
10:03
quarter life crisis. Oh God,
10:05
what do I do now we're at 25 for Gen Z and
10:09
millennials. 25 is like that,
10:12
that, that sweet spot for like it's all going downhill from
10:18
just stress levels at an all-time high all around.
10:23
I'm like I wanna buy a house but conque.
10:26
It's so hard but then and then you're house poor.
10:30
I have to choose between being house poor it's just a it's
10:34
mess right now. It's a huge like debate even college students
10:38
are are considering just dropping out right now like kids that really
10:42
wanted to get their degree because kids that just graduated are coming
10:45
out and saying I have been looking and looking and every single
10:49
place of employment has not.
10:51
Giving me the opportunity to even start and the starting rate is
10:55
like impossible for these kids that just got out of of paying
11:02
student fees so imagine millennials can't buy houses we can't even get
11:05
a job we can't even buy anything.
11:07
We can't buy groceries we're we're out here depending on on.
11:12
And it's, it's it's whack because all that stuff.
11:14
Trickles down and then you have me,
11:16
you have me crashing out for like the stupidest things,
11:19
you know, like what do you mean you don't have avocado
11:22
like anything will trigger it now,
11:24
bro like and I like this comment it says TBH Gen Z
11:27
is also more aware of generational trauma.
11:29
Very true, very true.
11:31
I don't know if it's the internet where we could just all
11:33
come and unload and and be like,
11:37
like is that normal?
11:39
To that point, I wonder if it's like because my parents
11:41
immigrated here, right,
11:42
and like so I was the first born here.
11:44
I wonder because their parents were around like kind of like because
11:47
It's like they kind of like let go they cut off that
11:49
kind of like generational like trauma that might have been attached to
11:52
that lifestyle and so that's why they seem so happy and like
11:56
different. I know I had a good way of hiding the
12:00
I don't remember my parents crashing out like that.
12:02
Like, do you guys remember your parents crashing out?
12:04
I don't remember. I don't.
12:05
Well, I wasn't alive when they were my age,
12:08
so I can't remember,
12:09
but. Well they crash out on the phone,
12:13
I know, but you know what I mean.
12:14
Like growing up, did you ever,
12:16
I never saw them crash out like that.
12:18
They, they kept their composure around well they didn't have that
12:21
I mean unless I did something,
12:23
you know, but other than that,
12:24
but you know what though,
12:25
it is true. The older I get,
12:28
the more I understand Britney Spears and why she shaved her head
12:32
because sometimes, dude,
12:34
sometimes like, oh man,
12:36
I just wanna grab one of the.
12:39
I just wanna do that because life is so freaking hard sometimes
12:43
But then what brings you back because I feel like I
12:45
have these crash out moments and then like I take a sip
12:48
of like water or like I watch a funny TikTok.
12:49
I'm like no I'm back,
12:52
that's your I've trained my algorithm,
12:54
my algorithm on Instagram and TikTok especially is trained so that if
12:58
I'm like having a moment I can bounce back and be like
13:00
no, everything's good again.
13:02
This made me cackle or this is sad and I related it
13:09
Recession era crash outs for Fuego.
13:11
Oh they have it here.
13:15
you guys saw me crash out in real time during the game
13:20
yeah, that was a real,
13:21
that was real. That was real,
13:24
that was sad. That was really sad that cause of crash
13:29
but what are you guys' favorite crash out though like,
13:33
like I'd say Britney Spears now I'm,
13:35
I feel like I can relate.
13:38
Bro, like she was just like over it.
13:39
Like she's like, I have to fucking do this.
13:43
for me it's gonna be the soccer coach Luca Ferretti.
13:46
He like crashed out doing like an interview.
13:48
Like some guy was like a reporter,
13:51
and he called on the lady like,
13:52
Oh ladies first, and the guy's like,
13:53
I have my hands up though.
13:54
He's like, they teach you to respect ladies da da da
13:59
but he's right, he is right,
14:01
but I mean I guess it's for the media purpose of it
14:04
but yeah, homeboy left and he was always very like
14:08
yeah, he crashed out early on he was on TV
14:10
during last sporting event,
14:11
so shout out to him.
14:14
mine's kind of recent because it was.
14:17
It was funny. It doesn't crash out.
14:22
I would if I was Brittany,
14:24
That wouldn't happen. shout out to him.
14:28
I love Montoya. Hey,
14:29
remember Montoya, Montoya,
14:31
Monto running fucking. Hey,
14:35
listen, I because I that was just a funny,
14:37
just universally uniting crash out.
14:39
The world was crashing out with our own problems.
14:46
It could be that deep wound wounding painful is that even a
14:50
word wounding. I don't know,
14:56
but Montoya it's like your girl takes you back,
14:57
but his girl fucking someone else.
14:59
I usually don't feel bad for men too.
15:00
He's 4K here. It is in 4K.
15:02
Someone brought up Kanye going Kanye.
15:05
but it comes and goes.
15:06
He has like little waves of crash shots.
15:08
That's what's. You know whatever app he wakes up on.
15:14
Your own personal crash out or what?
15:15
Ah damn, that was a big one,
15:17
ladies. You guys saw me.
15:18
We went and got ice cream though,
15:19
so I kind of chilled out,
15:21
but the whole walk there I was like playing in traffic.
15:26
You guys know when the for context the live was in there
15:30
about it he's from New York.
15:34
It's true. You can't be mad at her.
15:37
I love it when people and he's a Yankee fan,
15:41
We are from LA and so Yankee Dodger World Series.
15:45
The Dodgers won and the Yankees lost.
15:48
He didn't take it too well.
15:49
Yeah, that was a big crash out at least LA wise
15:52
from being out here,
15:53
that was one of my top ones.
15:54
Yeah, right, but before we move on to the next
15:58
story,, someone's chiming from Tijuana,
16:00
like finally I got them live.
16:01
Sauddo from TJ. Oh my God,
16:03
yes. Yes, I love TJ.
16:07
They have my favorite Chinese food,
16:09
Hong Kong. Yeah I'm just kidding.
16:14
I love Tijuana. I love Tijuana.
16:17
That's Hong Kong is pretty sick.
16:19
Gene, do you have any stories for us,
16:21
So apparently New York bodegas are in shambles due to a nationwide
16:26
bird flu crisis. Thank God I'm not there because my beloved
16:30
bacon, egg and cheese,
16:31
man, oh. So egg prices have skyrocketed and now bodega
16:37
owners are adding surcharges for bacon,
16:39
egg and cheeses. I saw,
16:41
I saw a picture of one like,
16:42
hey, we're adding 50 cents.
16:44
That's not that bad.
16:45
but it adds up if you're getting them every morning.
16:50
But they've introduced a new meal called the bird flu bailout which
16:55
is which is a menu with just egg for you guys
16:58
that don't know. Just Egg is a plant-based substitute made from
17:02
mug beans and Help me with that word turmeric turmeric turmeric turmeric
17:08
don't know, but I know if I,
17:10
if I would have seen it on the menu,
17:12
I would have been like,
17:14
for sure. Bodega owners are claiming that customers can't tell the
17:18
difference between just egg and real eggs.
17:21
I wanna be I don't know.
17:22
I don't know about this.
17:25
do you get pay for more for this too?
17:27
Is there enough charge for this?
17:27
So apparently there's a $2 discount if you get just egg bacon
17:32
or anything that includes the bird,
17:34
the bird flu bailout.
17:37
man, bacon, egg and cheese without real egg,
17:40
it's, it's like one of those things that you would have
17:42
to trick me into eating and then I would,
17:45
oh tell me afterwards like,
17:46
hey, that's just egg and then be like,
17:48
like. It tasted like the real thing,
17:51
but willing and going up and buying it,
17:53
nah, bro, charge me the charge me the extra $1
17:55
if you want. I'm good.
17:57
Someone named Truther says fake news.
18:01
Vegans run New York.
18:02
Damn. So, so since you left,
18:04
I guess the vegans are taking over.
18:06
No man, not on my bodega.
18:08
Yo, my bodega sells lucy eggs.
18:10
Lucy eggs. Like you could go buy,
18:12
you could go buy one egg.
18:13
So how much is that?
18:15
dollar probably, but you could just go and be like,
18:17
I need 3 eggs right now.
18:18
I'm making pancakes. That's go get you 3 eggs.
18:21
This egg is like basically like I can't believe it's not butter
18:24
I love this comment.
18:26
Haven't gotten taxed on my breakfast burritos.
18:28
This is the reason why LA is better than New York.
18:32
Clipper Carlos, while the Clippers suck,
18:35
However,, what my local spot in,
18:40
it's LA County, but like,
18:42
they charge for the eggs.
18:43
Like any egg dishes have an extra $1 or even to,
18:47
I haven't been charged extra for egg.
18:50
They won't tell you.
18:51
They'll just sneak it in.
18:52
Yeah, maybe they sneak it in.
18:54
And I don't notice it's messed up.
18:58
I don't know. I wonder how this just egg taste though
19:00
We're going, we're going to NYMA like I said,
19:03
let's play that little game.
19:03
We'll buy, we'll buy 4 bacon,
19:05
egg and cheeses, play a little mix and match.
19:08
Nobody knows what it is.
19:09
I'll let you guys know and then we'll come back and you
19:13
know and let them know we'll,
19:14
we'll report and we'll see if this egg is,
19:19
I can't believe it's not an egg or I can't believe it's
19:22
hopefully by then the bird flu is also I was gonna say
19:24
let's hope this bird flu let's hope they get their shots or
19:27
I don't know if the birds are getting little shots,
19:29
but I hope they I hope they get better because the world
19:34
we're, we're hoping for it.
19:35
We're manifesting it. Alright guys,
19:38
and not to be the bearer of bad news bad news I
19:40
got more bad news y'all.
19:42
Alright, so after 54 years,
19:46
Southwest Airlines is removing its bags fly free policy and will start
19:50
charging customers for checked bags,
19:52
and it actually begins in May,
19:54
May 28th specifically thoughts?
19:56
I, I don't really fly Southwest for some reason.
20:00
So I mean I don't know.
20:02
I've given more love than Southwest.
20:07
right, like I give a shot.
20:09
Southwest is I don't know for Southwest.
20:14
This broke me. This broke me.
20:16
I have, I've hopped on flights,
20:19
specifically this airline, just because of their baggage policy.
20:22
I've moved areas because of this baggage policy.
20:26
I went from up Northern California to LA again.
20:32
were charged because yeah and you know what,
20:35
I, I chose my own seat.
20:37
I got a window seat and everything.
20:38
You chose your own seat.
20:39
That's it that's what I,
20:40
I, I thought you have to wait in line that's crazy
20:42
like because it was I'm not I I went one time I
20:46
flew in Southwest Unacola.
20:48
Oh my God. I'm like,
20:49
really? That's crazy and like I,
20:53
it was anxiety for me not to know.
20:55
I'm like I'm not gonna get it to go see.
20:58
I'm saying they don't have chargers,
21:00
right? They don't have anything.
21:02
They don't have anything.
21:03
You go on a flight with your own plans.
21:06
You have your own agenda.
21:07
You could do what you want.
21:08
Just don't do anything that'll mess up the flight and our lives
21:12
but Southwest, you are on your own agenda and there's
21:15
little tips and tricks about,
21:16
you know, oh how can I get a window seat?
21:18
How can I get an aisle seat?
21:19
How can I get a Group A and B,
21:20
right? You gotta gotta learn.
21:22
You gotta check in right when check in opens.
21:25
So set that alarm clock in advance.
21:26
It's a little bit of work,
21:27
right? But for the cost,
21:31
the benefits they no longer exist.
21:33
exactly at this point,
21:34
just check in whenever the hell you want to fly Delta or
21:37
whatever. I'm sorry.
21:39
But, so you're a big fan of Southwest.
21:42
I was. I feel betrayed Southwest it's called Spirit West now
21:45
and that's Clipper Carlos,
21:47
my boy. The Clippers was all love yeah so it's.
21:53
Southwest is going. Where I,
21:59
I, I took one Southwest flight to Vegas and I was
22:02
excited because I wanna get plastered because we're going to Vegas and
22:05
no alcohol on this one because it's like 30 minutes.
22:06
What? I I served alcohol.
22:10
Where did you fly from?
22:12
I said Burke Oakland.
22:14
Oakland International. Wait,
22:16
flights take off differently there,
22:17
I will say I'm sure they do.
22:19
Yeah, Carlos said he flew and watched the World Series.
22:21
Oh, that's what's up.
22:24
apparently though, like there's some like tips and tricks like you
22:27
said. So if you're on the alias loyalty program.
22:29
You or you're traveling on business fare,
22:31
you'll be exempt from the fees.
22:32
In addition, Southwest will credit one check bag if you have
22:35
the Rapid Rewards credit card numbers.
22:43
And then there's a premium oh,
22:44
and they're gonna introduce a premium option that will allow you to
22:46
select your seat and to upgrade as well.
22:53
well, it's like anything else now,
22:55
so it's like the one thing that they did have,
22:56
they lost it and now I'll never fight them again unless we
22:59
get fun out for a PR thing with that because I I
23:03
do that. Do you guys have an airline of choice these
23:06
days because I go off by like who hasn't had an incident
23:11
look, it was Delta before the plane went,
23:13
upside down and you know what?
23:14
I flew a Delta fun fact,
23:16
I flew a Delta flight the day before.
23:19
The plane flew upside down.
23:24
Someone said JetBlue. I'm I'm a JetBlue kind of guy.
23:26
JetBlue, free Wi Fi DirecTV.
23:29
I love JetBlue I love JetBlue,
23:31
and you know what that pilot got us through the worst turbulence
23:34
I've ever lived in my life,
23:35
so shout out JetBlue and their training.
23:38
I like Alaska. Alaska is good.
23:41
I like the lighting in there.
23:43
The lighting in those flights is really cool.
23:46
Have you ever? I like guilty pleasure of mine at the
23:49
airport is like the man on the wing.
23:50
Oh, the little Eskimo guy,
23:52
I like him. Like I like I like hanging out,
23:55
spirit terminals at the airport that you like that's how
23:59
I kill time like I just like seeing situations,
24:02
It's always a movie and I don't even record it.
24:05
I'm just like, damn,
24:05
this is entertaining. Her carry on bag is a fucking Foot
24:10
Locker bag. Like let's go.
24:12
The first flight. Oh my God,
24:14
there was literally a man throwing hands.
24:16
What with the facts.
24:19
Some saidins Hall of Fame.
24:25
That is so true I've seen some.
24:27
The crash outs in LAX and the other airport was SFO
24:31
I seen a spirit inside the plane,
24:34
so it's, there was a man literally like he was just
24:39
throwing hands. He was throwing nothing and it took 2 hour
24:43
delay to get to New Orleans.
24:45
Oh my God no way and it's a spooky area too.
24:48
And then another thing I do is like I go see if
24:50
it says delayed. And then I go to the gate because
24:53
that's where the people are angry.
24:55
Yeah, that's where that's where the crash outs are insane like
24:58
oh this flight is gonna be delayed 2 hours.
25:00
gotta go to gate 4B.
25:02
I would love to just go hang out on a spirit flight
25:05
I'll like I'll hold on to the.
25:08
It's not a bus jeez,
25:09
it's a little up for that.
25:12
I don't care like just what what a good time it must
25:17
Speaking of good times,
25:18
RIP because the OG Southwest,
25:22
they gone. But not forgotten,
25:26
but right now I'm a little mad at them.
25:27
They should rebrand and bring it back.
25:29
Wait, somebody said yeah Frontier is ratchet also.
25:32
Yo Frontier, if I was on that flight 5 more minutes
25:39
The metal, the flight has never filled me really.
25:43
Philippine Airlines, baby.
25:44
That's where it's at Fipio anyway,
25:47
That's all new we got for y'all today.
25:49
Thank you guys. Thanks for joining us.
25:53
if you're on TikTok,
25:55
we're saying goodbye and catch us again on Friday,
26:00
And if you're with us on IG,
26:02
we got a great interview with Rachel from Buddy's Coffee coming out
26:08
It's super exciting. She went viral and we're so happy for
26:12
Carlos, I love you bye.
26:15
Hi Rachel, thank you so much for joining us today on
26:19
Me Too Daily. Let's give a round.
26:24
Thank you. How are you?
26:27
I'm good. I'm really good,
26:30
So some people feel hesitant about showing vulnerability online.
26:35
What made you feel comfortable enough to share your video with TikTok
26:38
Hi, my name is Rachel and I own a coffee
26:41
shop in Brooklyn. I started my business.
26:45
With my boyfriend. And today,
26:46
I just got word that I might not be able to stay
26:50
in the same lease because of rent increase.
26:54
right next door to me,
26:55
they're putting a coffee shop.
26:57
It just feels like you just can't win,
27:00
but we're not going anywhere.
27:01
I'm not going anywhere.
27:02
If you've ever gotten to this point where you felt that You've
27:05
lost everything and that nothing mattered,
27:08
and it was kind of like a,
27:09
like a screw it moment.
27:11
That's where I reached and I decided to like record.
27:16
I felt frustrated on all ends from like the news that I
27:19
got. #1, being in New York is not for the
27:24
like, just owning a small business.
27:26
And being completely self-funded is also not for the week,
27:31
and I just felt like I needed to express it.
27:35
your story, buddies,
27:37
it went viral. I mean we're all the way here in
27:40
LA right? and that's just across the country,
27:42
but coincidentally I happened to be in the city for the first
27:45
time and Buddies was.
27:48
On my list we we stopped by to support and I'm not
27:52
a coffee lover but I drank my coquito latte entirely.
27:57
How has going viral impacted your business?
28:00
Like, has there been significant changes to how your business operates
28:05
for a day or two when I would open up my.
28:09
You page, I would just see so many videos like,
28:12
OK, on our way to Buddy's or people in other parts
28:14
of the country saying wishing I was in New York to go
28:17
to Buddy's and I was like,
28:18
oh my gosh, this is crazy.
28:21
People just wanted to be a part of watching like a fellow
28:25
Latina like go after her dreams.
28:28
It's gone beyond. Like running a business and it feels so
28:33
good to know that maybe perhaps I've inspired other people to just
28:36
be a little bit more vulnerable and understand that you don't have
28:39
to be strong all the time.
28:41
I love that. So Rachel,
28:45
what do you want people to.
28:47
about the realities of running a small business.
28:50
I need people to understand truly,
28:52
there's no off time.
28:54
This is my life and I think that's why I get so
28:56
emotional that there's no other option.
28:58
Like this needs to work.
29:00
You know, whoever your clientele is and just be honest and
29:04
communicate that that's really all it comes down to.
29:07
Like, I think as humans,
29:08
we just want to connect to the person or the item that
29:12
we are purchasing and if you're just honest and good and you
29:16
have a like a real thing that you don't even have to
29:18
worry about anything else like just.
29:21
How is the business doing?
29:23
Are, are you feeling better about how you were feeling when
29:25
you uploaded the video?
29:26
Are you feeling more hopeful?
29:30
for sure. So I posted that video Tuesday night and I
29:34
woke up that Wednesday morning.
29:37
And like Joe Jonas showed up that Wednesday.
29:40
Girl. It's really bringing together people from all over who are
29:43
just hopeful and all of us just joining together in one space
29:47
over this one common thing of understanding that pain.
29:50
But today, I feel so sure and confident and I'm happy
29:56
And like the fear in posting that went away.
30:00
Maybe tomorrow, but today I feel really good and I feel
30:03
really confident. Yeah,
30:05
no, it takes honestly a lot of strength,
30:06
a lot of strength to to be that vulnerable,
30:10
you know, to put yourself out there and I'm so glad
30:12
you posted that video.
30:13
Imagine the difference. I'm glad I have just cried in my
30:18
car like any other day.
30:21
That's good though another day.
30:24
Well thank you so much Rachel.
30:26

30:28
We'll let you get back to it it's cool.

30:36
us, we should just have like virtual ones too when we're
30:39

30:44
