What's up? What's up? What's up? What's going on? I miss my humble baddie. Okay, Ashley with the pigtails looking like a little 12-year-old. Girl, I was having a bad hair day, so this is my go-to, you know what I mean? We wouldn't know. We wouldn't know. That's so cute. That's that good hair. You're in. That's that Indian. That Indian coming out, girl.

You're a mess, Daryl. Indian, Indian coming out, girl. Oh, my gosh. We're back with another episode of the Humble Daddies podcast. I'm your girl, Ashley Nicole. I'm Alexis Stoudemire and I'm Sherelle Rosado. And we are the humble baddie. Yes. What's up y'all? What's going on? How was everybody's weekend?

Sherrell, you back? I'm back. And I have been on GoMo, working, working, working. I had a major opportunity with the brand Monday, so we were out. So missed that, but we're back. A little still, a little jet lag, but I'm feeling good. Good.

That's the stuff. That's the stuff. What you got going on, Lex? I have been nonstop. Also, my son, my oldest son, Amare, just had his last high school game. He played basketball, finished that season, and then just finished volleyball. They lost in the playoffs. So it's kind of bittersweet because it's like low key, all of these practices

over all these years to see him finally coming to the end of his high school career. It's just kind of bittersweet because it's like, you know, him being the second, I'm like, I used to just sit there and just take him from city to city, gym to gym, practice to practice. And now it's just like all comes down to this. You know, and this low-key shifting because it's like as a senior, he doesn't know where he wants to go to school yet.

He's been getting some offers. And so it's just like kind of bittersweet as to like, okay, what's next? Because low-key after now, like starting now, he's kind of like low-key on his own. This is when they start, you know, at this age to kind of like start their path of he has to get himself up for practices and take himself to practices and show up and work out. So it's just kind of like 18 years, you know, here we are, you know, just, just kind of I'm sitting in, I'm sitting in it, you know what I mean?

So that was one. Then I drove up to support Asada in a basketball tournament in St. Leo, Florida. So shout out to St. Leo University. It's my first time ever. It's a little outside of Tampa. Just went there to see her for a couple of days and they ended up winning. Okay. So that was a little vibe.

And then lastly, um, came back and went straight to Mary J. Blige and let me tell you something. Oh, I went to the one in Tampa. I mean, in Miami. Well, yeah, she was here and she just, she just wrapped her 40 city tour in Miami. And so it was just like incredible to see her. She is looking good. She sounds amazing.

And I was with a good group of ladies. I wasn't happy on this one though. I was. You know, because she didn't do none of the old school, old school hits. What? She did. Like she did little snippets and like. Well, the clips I saw, she was just holding the mic up like... I'm just saying, I wouldn't say happy with this one.

This one, I went to the one at the, um, at the Heart Rock. It was like a couple months ago when she came to the Heart Rock. And I just... I wonder if it was a different show. I'm hoping. Did Neo open up? No. Okay, so it probably was a different show? I'm hoping. Did Neo open up? No. Okay, so it probably was a different show. Yeah. I mean, it was just a long, extensive show,

but he wasn't there at all. It was just good. I just enjoyed her music. I was not satisfied with the one that I went to. Uh... But I was. I was. I enjoyed it. Was she kicked? Of course, in the boots, you know? You know, she gonna do the boot dance. Yeah, the boots. She was wearing I was. I enjoyed it. Did she kick? Of course, in the boots, you know. You know, she gonna do the boot dance.

Yeah, the boots. She was wearing them boots. And did you see all the Miami girls come out, the aunties come out with the boots? Yeah, everyone had their boots on, their vibes, you know. Everyone, that's what I love about a concert. We gonna show up and show out, by the way, you know. And it's just never a dull moment. And it's the opportunity for us to, way, you know? Yeah. It's just never a dull moment. And it's the opportunity for us to like, you know, recreate our energy and our

vibes of when we first heard that music. Cause like, that's what music does to me. It's therapeutic. It just brings this energy out. So the fact that I could like sing some of these songs with her and I was just like, ah, I remember that time when, or it made me feel like this win. So it just felt, it felt good. You know, just to, I like, I don't know, or it made me feel like this win. So it just felt it felt good. You know, just I like I don't know some of these concerts,

they just bring out that vibration and just a different energy. So it was good to see the people. The people came out to Miami. So shout out to all the aunties and aunts, big aunts that came through. You know, it was a good vibe. The step in. Yeah, they were in the booth. Well, in the of concert, our first topic I want to talk about is Miss Beyoncé. She picked off her Cowboy Carter tour.

Her first show was in LA and I was glued. When I say glued, I was flipping back and forth from people's lives. Like, okay, let me watch they live. Oh, she got better seats. Let me switch to her life. Okay. You were watching the live. I was looking at the outfits because I'm trying to come ready when we go to Paris.

Yes. People got the fits, people got the dance moves going on, the choreography, all the words. Are y'all a real beehive? Are y'all real beehivers? I'm not a real beHiver, but I swear. But wait, what's the... I don't mean to cut y'all real.

What is a... What's a real BeHiver? I want to know first. I feel like a BeHiver consistently goes to Beyonce concerts. All her concerts? Yes. Okay. You're not gonna miss a concert. So every album, every concert. Every tour. Okay. We're not gonna miss a concert.

Every album, every concert. Every tour. Yeah, like it's a big deal. Like we wait for this, like we're in line waiting to buy our tickets, you know, like. Okay. You know, like we know the words to the songs. Okay. I don't know.

We don't allow any trash talk. Okay, I love it. Keep going. Keep going. And we're preparing our outfits like months ahead of time, you know, like, I feel. What? Okay. Are going to think that I am a true behyper this come June, because maybe the outfit is

going to be put together. Okay. I'm a little thing. I'm being drunk. It's still okay. It's not changing. Like I know the words and don't know you're participating. Okay. I saw that matters because yeah, as long as you make it to you make it blue, because what I say, I'm going to have a time at this concert. I like, yeah, I love going to see her perform. She said me is like, I would say the Michael Jackson of our time. Like, I mean, it's five women though.

Yeah. I don't. Yes. Like another woman, I would say that's put on a better show. Like overall, she's giving us visuals. She's giving us outfits. She's entertaining. You know, like it's worth what we go through to get these damn tickets. Okay. Yeah Yeah, she's working hard. She has the fits on fits on fits So shout out to Shanoa her stylist who I'm sure works countless hours with these designers

Getting these outfits together and the dancers Yeah, it's just amazing to see the production, her voices. I, you know, I think I'm a be hiver. Um, I have been to multiple concerts, but not the most recent one. Um, so I'm looking forward to it. You said why, why didn't you go to this last one? Because I did not, um, purchase the album. Low key did not purchase the album, Loki did not really. He didn't like it? He didn't like the album? I didn't even really honestly give it a chance.

I was okay. I'm okay with the movement. I just love her in general. So it was just like, let me vibe to the music that was out. I know a lot of people didn't resonate with her most recent albums that she put out. Like, I know a lot of, even like, V-Hivers, I felt like at first were kind of like, what is this? You know, it took a minute. The switch over to country. I'm OK with it. It just wasn't in my wave right now. And I can't I can't really say that I have an opinion on the album just because I

did not give it a whole chance. But I love the aesthetics. I love the vibes. I love everything give it a whole chance. But I love the aesthetics, I love the vibes, I love everything about it. I love the fact that we're seeing the glow up of blue. Sis, our niece is vibing and grinding and vibing and thriving and just everything all of the above. And they brought out baby Rumi, the little one. So it's just beautiful to see,

just like it's still family oriented. Very much she's set on really leading her legacy, leaving her legacy, leaving her mark. And I'm like, what's next for Beyonce? Because this is like, she just keeps setting the bar. So as someone who just loves entertainment in general, I'm definitely down to support her. Speaking of, uh, speaking of, uh, Blue Ivy, let's talk about her blow up from

being shy to now killing it. Like Ashley said, I was also watching different clips and it's just like, she went from zero to a hundred. You can tell people criticize her so much during her first stage performance with her mom. They were basically clowning her. And instead of her quitting and shutting down and like, you know, I can't do this, you know, with the public coming after me, it just made her go even harder as a child.

And she is killing it. Baby Blue was on the stage, pop locking and dropping it with confidence. Like, she was the choreographer. Right. That was her show. That was her show. It was her show. You guys look there. I love it. Did you see she was doing like the same choreography,

like some old choreography that Beyoncé had done in the past. And they like put it like side by side. You know, this was fun. So you're a true beehive. We didn't pay attention to all that. But it was from like a previous performance that Beyoncé did. It was the exact same choreography. And Blue killed it.

Like, it was made for her. Like, I was just watching my mom and I was like, yes. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I love about it. I was very proud of her. I was like, I just love to see it. Like, she went in, she was like, I'm not going to let people stop, talking crap about me.

Cause y'all see people was imitating, recreating videos, just making so much fun of her. And I felt bad, I felt sad for her cause I'm like, she's a young girl, like she's just not getting into it. But baby. Yeah. And I love that Beyonce and Jay-Z as parents decided, I'm sure, like, it was a conversation they had with Blue Ivy or whatever, you know, to push her to not let that stuff get to her. You know, like, I think that speaks volumes of, like, the kind of parents that Beyonce and Jay-Z probably are.

and Jay-Z probably are. For sure. They're both, I mean, the top of their craft. And this comes, I'm sure they've instilled in her, this comes with the territory. One, she's a public figure, too. But the way, you can just tell in her essence, the way that she carries herself, she's humble, she's very grounded. And, you know, I'm looking forward to seeing more. And I just love that the fact that Beyoncé, instead of like,

you know, it's like, take your daughter to work day, but it's like, tour with me, get a check, you know, write all this off, have this experience, this hand-on craftsmanship, it's production, it's dance, it's choreography. Whatever your lane is, baby, I got you. You know, the fits. And she just really gets to see who her mother is,

and they get to spend this time together. So it's just beautiful to see. I'm down for it. Yeah, she's also creating generational wealth. 100%. To be able to bring on, you know, her child and, and it seems like Blue is really putting the dedication and she loves it. It doesn't look like Beyonce is forcing it upon Blue. And you know, it's a hard work. Like that choreography is not easy on Blue. And you know, it's a hard work. Like, that choreography is not easy. OK? And you know Beyonce won't let her get on that stage unless it was right. OK?

And so you know, Blue been putting in some work. Right. She was sharp with the moves, baby. Sharp. She ain't Mr. B. OK? So kudos to Blue. She up there doing her thing. It's definitely legacy. It's just, and we're seeing it. It's beautiful to see just the transition and just seeing all of this coming together. We get to see it in real time.

And it's like it's trickling down. Now, you know, she brought her first daughter, now she's bringing it on her second daughter's edge. It's so cute. The way she looked at her mom was just, she's so hard. You're waving at the fans. It was so beautiful. Oh. And she hit her mark, too.

You see, she tried to get her choreography down, too. She's going to be next to love. Mm-hmm. I love it. Yeah, I love it. Shout out to Beyonce for continuing to shine for the Black women and showing, creating generational wealth, showing that it can be done.

Your child doesn't have to exactly do what you do. Like, Beyonce is a great singer-dancer, but she found something in blue in her child, and she's bringing it out of her. So shout out to our boo, Beyonce up, say she is the humble baddie. And just really just bringing it back to like black excellence, like you said, and the cowboy, just bringing a lot of, like the Negro Chitlin circuit that she's highlighting,

the fact that, you know, it's the essence of what it means to be a black woman, American woman, Texas, cowboy chic, all these things. So shout out to her for real. I love that. Love it. Love it. Love it. Yeah. All right. Let's get into it. The next topic, what, baby, they better stop playing with our boys. Shador Sanders.

Yeah, nephew. Shador. So he single-handedly raised the ratings for the NFL draft because everybody was waiting to see where he was going to go. I don't watch the damn draft and I was watching the draft. Girl, me too. Every night, after the first round, I'm like, okay, it's, you know, warm, but baby, why y'all playing with our own? Why y'all playing? In all those rounds, I've never watched the past the first day.

Ever, ever, ever. Do y'all think that he, he got his position split down because of who he is, who his father is, or was it purely on him just being overconfident? Like, what do y'all take on the reasoning that he didn't go the first round like everybody thought he would? I feel like the owners were trying to prove a point. They're not used to seeing a young black male come before the draft and say, you know, his statement, and I don't want to put it wrong, but basically he was saying, don't pick me if you don't want this, this, and this. His statement was very powerful. And I feel like the owners didn't like that.

And it was, it was allegedly said that the owners don't want him because of, of the statements that he made. Well, I feel like he 100% is very vocal, just like how Sherelle said. And very much it's also a trickle effect of we all know who his father is. We have Deion Sanders who came to a Division One university who just revamped this whole program coming from an HBCU, by the way, of highlighting these players, making them a top contender, also elevating ratings, which we all know equals money, to the point where he was coaching these boys, your Travis hunters who ended

up being number two, et cetera. And there's other players that he had drafted. But the fact that he has really changed the game, as well as the good old boy dynasties of not seeing us in these positions, as well as now, he has raised, like we have witnessed him raise his sons and his daughter to be very confident. And that is something, I mean, I look at it now in little league ball, and we've seen these over the years, where the parents that are involved, that are coaching, are the ones where they're pushing their children the most and playing

them the most, these things like that. But with this, we saw, we have seen it happen and this is like the full circle moment. So I think it's the trickle from the dad being very much, he's prime time, you know what I mean? He had his song, he had the change, he had the vibes. Come on now, and he played baseball too. So like he was doing all of this. Plus he's instilling that,

he also knows how the league is ran. He also knows the mentality of what it means to be a black man in a white league that's ran by, owned by. He also knows the understand, he understands brand management. So all these layers that he's instilled in his child, I'm not mad at. It is very intimidating to these owners that they can't contain it. But at the end of the day, this is a young man who is also professional. So he's gonna show up and show out.

And I think the NFL needs this energy. They need this, this vibration. They need this generational energy of like, I am a business person. I'm also a brand, but I'm also going to show up and do my job. So I cannot wait to see him. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be where you at. That's what we were watching. I'm so confused though.

We're loving to see this. Why was the NFL, I mean, I understand those things that you're saying, but I mean, to me, it just makes more sense to. Can you hear me? Yeah. It makes more sense to have a player who is confident, like, isn't he a quarterback? Yeah.

So when you want. I want his jersey. When you want somebody who's more confident,'t you want somebody who was raised by an NFL player because he knows the game and he's teaching him like the things to do, what not to do? Like to me, it makes more sense to invest in a player like that. I wouldn't want to invest. Confidence to them leads to problems. You never heard of Shadr having any problems off the field.

Exactly. So that's why I don't really understand it. Like, I don't under it. I don't understand why you wouldn't want a player like him. You he's confident. He's well spoken. He's a leader. He's respectful. He knows the game. He's been raised by the game. Talk about the most high. OK, he's been raised by the game. He's been raised by the game. The most high like, OK, he's been raised.

He's a leader. OK. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not understanding. Like, why would I mean, I'm sure it's something like there's a reason and I'm sure it's messed up. You know what I mean? But logically, and if it's about money at the end of the day and it's about winning at the end of the day, why would you not want to choose a player like him? And I think you still sell tickets to and we're going to do that.

And that's the thing, too. Yeah, it's about money. And so, and, you know, now everybody's saying like they're he's going to, you know, show out and do the best. So, you know, I feel like it's going to work out for him either way. But logically, it's very I just don't understand it because that would be the pick player that I picked. I don't think it's about money. I think it was them trying to prove a point.

Yeah. With the Sanders, I feel like money is not an issue on their end. And, you know, the owners they have, they do have money from the players. I feel like the owner, they were trying to prove a point who this young Cockney do think he is, some approval point. And it, it tripled down probably, you know, history from his dad. You know, his dad is not a run over. He's going to speak his mind.

He don't sugarcoat anything. And it was, I feel, my opinion, it was more of a personal issue than money. I agree with that. And also, I just read that he has sold his jersey... On his website, right? Yeah, it's crazy right now. So I can't wait. I need to go and get me one.

What he said is the jersey on his website, his jersey sales, his jersey sales. OK, OK. I'm smart at it. See, he's smart. I mean, this is the quarterback that I would want. Like if if I'm about winning and all that, then yeah, that's what I'm thinking. But my question is, is there a deeper issue with seeing young black men walk in full confidence? Why do everyone have to see? Because I've seen a lot of people on Twitter come in and, oh, that's what he get.

He just cocky. He being cocky like his daddy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. A bunch of bull crap. Why do we're also not watching them on the draft. We're also not tuning into a University of Colorado game. We're also not rooting for him. You know, this, this is a deeper rooted issue. It definitely has to do with color. It also has to go back to historical and biblical

times of, we don't even take it back to, I mean, US history of slavery. So let's talk about that for a second. So it goes off of that whole mentality of, let me break him down, let me take away this essence, this natural essence of this king energy that I have. And in low key, the draft, they hold the power to put you in this league, you know what I mean? So that was their last little bit of power. But you know what I loved about it? The fact that they thought that they were gonna affect something by, you know, not drafting him first,

you know, first, second round, third round. He still kept his composure. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. He still celebrated. And that's being raised correctly by his parents. Exactly. 100%. And you know, his number, he was 144.

So that means a huge significance in the Bible anyway. It has to do with the 144,000 that are chosen. And many are called, but only a few are chosen. So stand on it, nephew. I'm here to see it. I'm going to support. And I'm not a Cleveland Browns fan. So I will, I am now, until they play my chiefs. So until then. How about this prank call that one of the Atlanta Falcons coach's son made pretending that he was, you know, making a call to, you know, draft Shador. What do y'all think about that?

Disrespectful. Very. Yeah. So apparently his son wasn't the one who actually made the call. It was his friend. But, you know, the son apparently- They were both in on it. Yeah. The son was able to have access to the phone number from his dad. Right. And the NFL did find the father and the Falcons organization. That money, that money should be going to Shador actually, because he's the one that emotionally was harmed by this. Right. Second, the NFL has enough.

So go on, slide that on over. Yeah. Do y'all think that was enough punishment? I feel like the fine should have been a little bit more. I mean, a lot more. Make it hurt. Yeah, because you have to set an example. Y'all trying to set an example to humble players who are very confident

and know their worth. You need to set an example for humble players who are very confident and know their worth. You need to set an example for these children out here playing on people's phones. Your child going through your paperwork. So that lets you know that there was a list of everyone's phone numbers that people have access to, that they were able. And this is the day you do receive a call. And usually it's through an agent, but because he didn't hire one, it was his personal phone number.

So all of the coordinators had this access to this list. So it goes to show you that it's a way that you should not be having your work at home. And what I didn't like was the fact that this young boy filmed himself and not only filmed himself, he put it out there for clout, for likes, you know. And, you know, it's just so that's disrespectful. So he should be reprimanded too. I know it's, you know, the father was fined X amount of dollars. I feel like the father had something to do with it.

He's 21 or so, by the way. I feel like the father had something to do with it. That's just not. I mean, we don't know the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. And since we are talking about father and son, we looking at a whole another example of how you raising your kids. Okay. And Shador wasn't the only one to be pranked by the way.

He was one of a few. Obviously his was the one that was out there the most, but it's just sad when these... SHANNON COFFEY So that same boy called the horn players? TANISHA I don't know if this specific boy did, but he wasn't the only one. I did see that earlier today that he wasn't the only one, but obviously, again, going off of the fact of Shador's brand in Star Power, that's who we're talking about. That's who was, like, talked about on the, you know, on the shows

and everything like that today. So it's just unfortunate that... And they shouldn't even be able to have... It's disrespectful. ...confidential information like this is... Yeah. ...their numbers, their privacy. And for the kids to easily have access to that...

Yeah. Now, the owners need to be, instead of trying to worry for the kids to easily have access to that. Yeah. Now, the owners need to be, instead of trying to worry about humbling people, they need to worry about teaching trainings to the coaches and the head coaches and their staff on how to properly secure information. Right.

She work at work. Yeah, I agree. That was very messy. Very professional. Yeah, it was disrespectful. Yeah. It's disrespectful on all levels. I mean, think about this. Every night, this is what you dreamed about as a young boy, 18, 19, 20, 21, whatever years

old. You've been waiting on this night to get that phone call, to wear that suit, to have your family and friends around, everyone who's been going back and forth to these practices, spending money, investing in timing you for this one day where you get this phone call and this little, that young man ruined it for him. You know, it's unfortunate, it's sad, and it's disrespectful. I don't like it. Yeah, I didn't either.

It made me feel some kind of way as a mother. I agree. I agree. I wonder what they would have did if it was back then and somebody prank called Tom Brady. Yeah. I don't know, but I do want to say that I think Shador is going to come out on top at the end of the day. And I can't wait for him to show everybody. Like, I'm going to be like, you know, see? I can't, but I just love watching the draft. I love watching the

parents. Like, I just love watching their reaction and like the moms. And I love seeing like the girlfriends and how they're acting. Like, I really just be looking at everybody. It's like the show. Wait, wait. Y'all know what Lil' Rampfree in my head. I think he's about to say, because it can't get out of my head. Let me hear. The meme of Russell Wilson's act.

What's that face? All right. That was funny. That there was a couple that she made when he got drafted. And now they use a mean when she thought she hit the jackpot. It was it was it was her. It was another one. Remember, the girlfriend was sitting on the players lap and the mom yanked her up off the lap. That's funny, too. That was a funny one.

I think the only name they made was one of them had like a little baby, like a son. And the baby threw up when he got drafted. So they were like, I don't know. Maybe he didn't like seeing him. You know what I love looking at during the draft? That people really don't speak on. Don't play us be dressed. Tackling.

They do speak on it. They do speak on that, girl. Who put that together? Not everyone. Now you got some of them country ones that don't know like babies. Most of them be country. And we can say country. Yes. Be looking like somebody passed up.

This is their time to shine, y'all. For the national stage. They're showing up and showing how. You know, actually, not everyone be wearing the Steve Harvey suit now. But did you see the number one pick? Cam Ward from Miami was in there. They were clowning him because he wasn't. They said, oh, you and a banana republic off the rack. Because he was a nice, bright, bright baby dress.

Yeah. And very much just he was like, look, I'm here for business for one reason only. I'm going to go get my hug from the commissioner get my hat get my jersey with my name on there be the number one pick And let me go to work. So he was spoke. So it's whatever your vibe is I mean, this is the stage if you're not gonna show out when it what else you gonna show out You gotta show I mean they got they've heard they got they checks I mean, it's a little different now with the NIL. I'm just I mean, they got they got they checks. I mean, it's a little different now with the NIL. I'm just looking at the check.

We are being it's an event, y'all. This is this is the met for the NFL. So like they want to show up. That's what we call it, the met for the NFL. But some of them have them Steve Harvey suits on them. Whatever they need to. And they showed out. I love to see the runway.

Let me see the runway. Fellas, y'all gotta make sure y'all stuff is fitted to the tee. Fitted. The pants fitted. The diamonds dancing, you know. Yes. Yeah, I love to see it. It's a celebration.

I mean, when my sons get drafted, I'm gonna be right there just suited and ready for them. You know, let's go. Let's go. Yeah. Well, I'm sure they ain't dressing no country ass three piece. No. Ashley, what they feel when he got dressed drafted? Because you know, he from Columbus, Georgia, baby.

They be wearing the- I ain't even going to lie. He was still wearing country shit when he was in the league. And they had to dress up because of the... I used to look at his since, like, baby, please, please. You know, Columbus used to wear the tees, the long tees that stuck to your knees. Yeah, yeah. But them things was not cute. They was very... I lied. Very...

Murray got drafted and he had all that fabric. That's back in the day when them suits, we used to go like, the jackets would be all the way down to, you know, the thigh. The big suits, all the fabric, pinstripes, you know, everything. So help him, Lord. It's the same thing. It's the same thing across all the leagues. Help them Lord.

That is funny. Well, we got, somebody got to teach them. Who's the best dress right now in the NFL? I don't know. I'm gonna be fan-sensitive. It's not right there, but I can't think of their names. I feel like they all have set their game up though. Everyone has a bad though. I feel like when we was in the league, they was just getting like, because they had to be in suits when Phil was still playing. Like they didn't play that shit anywhere now.

They be wearing all kinds of shit now. When Phil was in the league, they were supposed to have more like a nice suit, like a well-fitted and they had little suit guys come or whatever. But now I see they be showing up with a little purses, they little mercy. Yeah. And all kind of stuff. Oh, you know who I do like? I don't know what his name is, but the one who dresses in like his African, I think he's. Yeah.

He's dating cash doll right now. I like him too. I like that too. Yes, I do like his. I do like. Yeah, that's the I do like his. I do like him. Yeah, that's the good one. OK. It's very authentic.

But when they keep going up with their mercies and fur. Let me tell you, I love all kind of stuff. I'm like, that is a lot. Buy that for you. I love to see. But they're in runway. Back like years ago, they never would make, the designers would not make the sizes for these players. You know, they have different measurements, whether they're tall, they're wide.

So now designers are making it smaller and the guys are doing it. And that's why they compare. Who makes Stefan? Stefan Dicks be Stefan now. Yes, he do. But I'm saying the new NFL, they're smaller. He's good fashion boy. I like him. They're more petite. Like, they can fit in clothes. Like, NFL players back in the day were bigger. They couldn't fit that shit.

I can't fit in the pants. You gotta get them custom made. It's just the runway now. Everyone's about their brands. Everyone's about, like, you know, stepping up and then buying the brands. They are very much into the designer lives. But back in the day, it wasn't allowed. They had to wear suits. And like, that's it. It was a suit.

Now they're giving them the freedom to step out and do their own thing, which is cute. I like it. I like the African attire. That's my favorite. Yeah. Cash Doll Boobie Dressin'. I forgot his name. Yeah. Cash Daubu be dressing. I forgot his name. Yeah. That's how I mean. Cash Daubu is hilarious. Yeah, they were in Ghana. I saw them out and they were so cute.

That was like early on when they were dating like earlier. But I like that. I like him dressing in his cultural attire. That is sexy. Seeing like the Africans when they wear their coat, that joke is sexy. Mm hmm. I like that.

We know you do. Ashley, don't start that thing. Don't start it tonight now. Where your drink at? Where is your drink at? I got some water. I'm going to drink for you tonight. All right. Let's get into it, y'all.

So we added a new segment from our last one, the baddie business segment. Each time we're on, we're going to talk, bring in some business advice. And I know for this one, a lot of people, there has been a lot of talk about tariff, the real tariff trouble and the real cost of doing business. I know people heard of the word tariff thrown around in the news or senior vendor raised prices because of import costs. But what does that actually mean? And it's okay because some people don't know what it means.

They just hear it. actually mean. And that's okay, because some people don't know what it means. They hear it on the news and they pass by, especially these young entrepreneurs. So today we're going to break it down and we're going to teach you how you can basically maneuver around it, try to maneuver around it. So what is a tariff? The definition. A tariff is basically a tax the government puts on goods coming into the country. Think of it as a price tag added to imported products. Here's an example. You order some lashes from China. The product might have a tariff slapped on it before it even hits your inventory. Tariffs are usually meant to protect domestic industries, but sometimes they back backfire

and just make stuff just more expensive. Right, right. This is definitely going backfire. It is. Okay, real quick. I mean, it's gonna make. Go ahead. Go ahead, Lex. It's going to... I'm saddened by it actually, just because people just really just don't

know what's getting ready to happen. The fact that, you know, lashes, like, let's just say even wholesale, the fact that you're going to be spending 140, whatever, 130% on top of it, not only is it going to affect the consumers, like those who can't do lashes that want to get them done, the prices will go up. It's also going to change how the vendors or the ones who are actually applying XYZ on us or the lashes, it's going to affect them too because now we're going to be like, hmm, are the lashes worth it or am I just going to go down the street and do my own? Or it's going to change that industry.

So I look at it like this. I understand what the administration is trying to do, buy American, keep it in this, you know, I understand what the administration is trying to do by American keep it in America, X, Y, Z. But even if you look at something like a car, even if it's like, let's just say Ford that is known to be built here and it's an American car, there's still technology, the computer, the certain parts that come from overseas. Exactly. So with that being said, that particular part is still going to make the prices go up. And let's not talk about repairs, the repairs. For example, even the shipping containers have

slowed down. So that has trickled into the employees working the shipyards. The container companies, the distribution companies have now laid off employees. So now, not only do you not have enough workers because there's nothing coming over, you're also now dealing with the fact that you can't afford anything. I mean, eggs, for example, are still high, basic things. And so if you don't have a job, if you don't have a job, if you don't have income, what can you purchase? And then if you can't afford with you the basic necessities, it's going to be very hard

out here. And I'm going to say, I hate to say this, but we're looking at another recession on the way. We're looking at hard times and then we're looking at people that need to eat and they're going to try to survive to do this. I mean, it's a trickle effect and we have, this is just April and we have not seen the results of this. This just was implemented a couple of weeks ago.

And I just purchased a foreign vehicle. Thank God that I did right before the terrorist kicked in because low key, they have inventory now but next year they won't. Apple iPhones, the little things we take for granted, all these things will now be increased in prices. And so it's like, the workers are going to be laid off, there will be no money, there's no trickling in. And again, I appreciate America.

I love it here in that kind of way, but we depend on other countries for other things. And even tourism, everything, everything. I want to tell the Quilted Sharks supporters that everything, everything, everything. I want to talk about what the Trump supporters got with them now. Like, this is who y'all voted for. Why y'all complaining now? You know what I mean? Like, y'all didn't read the policies that he was planning to implement, because this isn't something that he just brought up.

Like, there was a whole plan. People weren't educated. And day one, he started implementing these plans and we just y'all over here like choking. So I'm just wondering, you know, how y'all feel about your mania? That's president. Well, not only that is deporting, it's everything. It's just a change in maps, history, all these, it's just a lot taken away, you know, monuments and museums and just a lot of, it's a lot of energy going on right now. And you know, it's about educating

yourself 100%. Like these tariffs are going to affect us. Little things we took for granted are definitely going to affect us. It's definitely about to affect me. Y'all know I'm in the development. World. Yeah. Industry. So I'm worried about that because a lot of, I do a lot of government contracting and we just received our final award.

So with government contracting, you have to set a price and it gets approved your final price. So now it's like, okay. Everything's higher now. Everything is gonna change. So it's playing back on our fee of what, you know, what the business can profit from.

So it's just, it, it's affecting a lot of things, but let's, let's, let's continue on with this. Small business owners have to raise their prices to survive, but customers don't always understand why their $20 T is now $28. Struggles competing with big brands. Big brands can buy a book or shift production fast. Small businesses, not so easy. Tariff can widen the gap. You had a reliable vendor overseas. A sudden tariff might force you to scramble for a new supplier or delay your drops. What you can do. So here are some humble baddie survival tips while we're going through this crazy time right now.

Resource smarter. Look for suppliers in tariff-free regions or even locally. You can also negotiate with vendors. Sometimes they'll share the costs or burden. Bondo products, get creative with pricing to make things feel more valuable. Tell your story, educate your audience about what's going on. They'll be more willing to support you through the shift. Our final baddie takeaway.

Tariff might be out of your control, but how you pivot, that's all you. So whether you're shipping from Ghana or grabbing lace from the Philippines, know your numbers, protect your margins, and keep that business boss energy high. Okay, good sips, good sips. I like those.

All right, thank you for that. Let me tell y'all, I sent out a tweet today. Oh, no. You didn't let me... No, I'm on Twitter. You didn't let me approve. I need a lot on Twitter to see what you... Yeah, do I need it? You didn't let you didn't let me. You didn't let me go on Twitter to see what you did. Do I know? I need it. You didn't let me approve this.

So my question was and I'm going to ask you all. I'm nervous. Do you all get like a warm sensation when you all drink alcohol? It's not every alcohol for me. Like t me. Like tingly? What do you mean warm sensation? It's like a warm sensation.

Yeah. But it's only when I drink vodka. What? Okay, you talking about, tell me what you mean warm. So the, so the, like a coffee is what you mean? Yes. I mean... Yeah, it does.

Only vodka for you? Oh, no, no, no. Not vodka. Vodka, wine do it for me. I feel it when I drink vodka. I think it's all of the above for me. It's just different energy. Like, if I'm on tequila, it's a different, it's a different lex, you know what I mean?

And you know, you're gonna get a... Y'all know my dancers, you're gonna get that. If it's vodka, it's definitely more a... I haven't been drinking vodka. I think it's not here. I've been on tequila a lot. I don't think tequila make the peep-hop... Tequila make me party, like, I don't wanna...

Yeah, tequila make me turn up. Yeah. Because it's agave, it's sugar. Exactly. Vodka, I think vodka don't make it pop either. Vodka makes me. I don't know. It's the Tito's vodka, like I was on a. Tito's isn't.

You know what? I'm trying to have some flashbacks, well, and I think you might be on to something. I think I think the vodka might actually take me there more than the tequila does. I'm telling you, I don't know what they put in that Tito's vodka. But it's American, so it won't have a tariff, by the way. The label in the bottle might. But American, the shrunk, by the way. The label in the bottle might, but. I be on the shroom. The shroom like Maki pop. The shroom, the chocolates. I ate these chocolate shrooms.

Which kind? Which kind of like, is it, there's certain ones, right? I don't know what the name of the brand is, but it's a certain one. Really makes it pop. And, um, yeah, it's ask Phil. What room? What room? Like, and I love it because it's not like overly too much. It's just like she lets you know she's in the room, you know? She let me know she's in the room. That's the point. She is. She has entered the building.

Entered the building. Oh, hey, girl. Yeah, she'd be like, hey, I'm here. You know what I'm saying? Okay. I like that. Cause it's like not like, I'll sit to that. And then I feel good.

Like it gives me energy. So y'all got to try, try that. You know, ain't no hangovers involved. You know, I am hydrated. Great. It's the shrimp. And it's from the earth. You know, ain't no hangovers involved. You know, I am hydrated. Great. It's the shrimp. You know what I'm saying? I love it.

Yeah, because it's like a microdose. As she said, she'd be talking. She'd be like, hey girl, don't forget about me. It's like a deli. Yeah. Yeah. But it is something about that alcohol, something about. It just, it just do something like it just, yeah.

Like I put a microwave down there or something. I think in general, yeah. Like liquor makes a microwave. It's loosening you up. You know what I'm saying? The goose to make you lose a microwave. I'm not doing that in the pan. lose a microwave. A microwave in a pan. Not a stove, not a heater.

You know, microwave heat up real fast. Soon as you drink it. What kind of Tito's you got? What kind of Tito's you want? What kind of bucket? I'm telling y'all, I didn't realize it. You know, I was just I was on the plane and, you know, the flight attendant, what do you want to drink?

And normally I don't drink, but I was like, let me get Tito's and cranberry juice. Mm hmm. I put a splash of cranberry juice in there and I took a sip. And I was like. And. And I took a sip and I was like, I don't know. That's the altitude. That's not the altitude. That's being, you know, sky high. Listen, I got to try that. But I think you onto something though.

I feel like after having a couple Cosmos, yeah, the vodka kind of... You be hot down there? Yes, we started. It's not a hot down there. There's other things that can be hot down there. It's not the vodka. It's just definitely the tingling, the warming sensation of your body. You know, yes, you getting activated for sure.

Yeah, it's an activation. It's an activation. They need to label it. They need to put a caution. It does activate. And they didn't have an arrow going down. No. They need to sell, they need to sell Tito's in the sex store.

They sell other stuff. The honey packs. Not the honey pack. It's like them. But that's what I hear. Is it a pack of honey? It's a different kind of honey. It helps. It helps with long time fun.

Do the girl take it or do the man take it? I've heard it's for the men, but I don't know. Why every day you ask people to take it? I need to ask one of my friends, a female, if she's taking it before she... That's all they got for us in Spocka. I don't know. I don't know if it's just, I don't know if it's strictly for men.

Somebody needs to let us know in the chat. You know, let us know. Now let us know is the honey pack for us or not? The honey pack. Oh, honey pack. But I've seen it like as they, the jokes, like put the honey pack with the drink, they'll all mix it up and use the off-line phone.

They making a whole concoction. Upper downer, lefty, righty. Listen, I'm still getting messages about the Pop Rocks. The people still loving the Pop Rocks. Oh, they're saying thank you for that tip. Let me put that on my list. One lady messaged me. She was like, girl, it was my husband's birthday.

And I just want to thank you. I tried the Pop Rocks. She said she messed up and put the whole pack in her mouth. Oh, tell me your thing was just popping. And she almost choked, but he enjoyed it. So she had to spit some of them out, but she said she had to learn because she didn't realize they was poppin' in the back of her throat. I said, you can't. So I replied.

So I said, you can't put the whole pack in your mouth. You gotta put a little portion. It ain't no directions on her. No, because it's not for this. That's right. That's a different usage that is not what it's for Pop rocks specifically for that Shot, oh, I know it. I didn't know they had them but they brought Yeah, cuz I have you had so I need I need

Don't feel sure. Yeah, because I have you had told me to go. I think I need to say something. Did you try to pop rocks, Ashley? I did try the pop rocks. They feel like it was it. Did you have a good experience with the pop rocks? It wasn't a bad experience, but it was a lot for me. Did you put too many? It was very distracting.

What's too many? Because some people put the whole because it's many? Because some people put the whole, because it's candy. So some people put the whole pack in your mouth. It was a good amount. Yeah, it was a lot. You can't though, because you got two different objects. You have many objects in your mouth and then you got the main object in your mouth. And you just can't.

What? I'm going to call you after this. And we'll, I'll let you know. Well, it's not for us. It's for others. Can you pop rocks on us? No, they're going to be popping all up in your uterus. Oh, what they got for us?

They get everything. They have ice. Lube. No, we don't need lube. That's it. I'm just, I don't know. I'm trying to think of what they have for us besides toys. No.

We have, for us, there's ice and the tongue. And there's different types of lubes and different types of animals. No, we lube. Don't need that. I'm saying what they have since they can lube. Remember that? I am. I'm just saying they have some that give you a little cooling sensation. Oh, okay. Yeah. They have the cooling and the warming and the.

Thank you. That's what the Tito's give the warm. No, the Tito's give the shock. Okay. We need that. We need to have my anniversary is is coming up, so I'm gonna go to the store and see what they got out, Lupa. I wanna go. We should take a trip.

Let's take a trip. All right, let's go. I ain't got nobody to use it on, but I can still take a trip. I like going to see what's going on in the section. I may pack it in my next trip. Oh. Mm.

Okay. Y'all learn this. Let's get into this Humberbatties bell. Please and thank you. Before we get into it, y'all, let's ask our fans if there are some tricks that, you know, you can recommend for Ashley. Her anniversary is coming up. Tricks or suggestions. I'm sure Phil is in the chat, so ladies, give our brother some suggestions

on what he should, you know, do for Ashley for their anniversary. And also DM Ashley and tell her what she can do for, you know, for the anniversary, to spice it up a little bit. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. Let me know. Also, sending what doesn't work either.

So you can avoid that. Yeah. Make sure instructions are involved. That was exactly because I told y'all about the top rocks and I didn't tell y'all. You didn't say just put a couple. Yeah. Not the full stack. Yeah, like, you're supposed to put, like, we need the timing.

We need to know everything. Yeah. All right. Y'all ready for the Humble Baddies email? Please. All right. I got it. It says, from Anonymous, All right, I got it. It says From anonymous. Hey humble baddie. Can you give advice to your friend to your fans on? What you did to glow up for yourself? I know everything starts within but it would be awesome to hear how each of you started your glow up journey. Thank you No, I glow up journey. Oh Glow Up Journey. Thank you. Hey Glow Up Journey.

Oh, well, I mean, let me get started. I feel like everyone has their moment of just like low key when their moment is of glowing up. I mean, it could be a trigger. It could be something that happens. It could be a breakup. It could be whatever the case may be. I know that with me, it definitely started post-divorce in my healing journey of like really trying to find the essence of who Alexis is, going back to my spark, going back to like out of disappointment, failure and all these, and really getting my confidence back.

So I wanted to tap into the essence of who Alexis is and what am I going to do now? So it helped me. I know that one thing that really, really resonated with me was establishing boundaries. And also not having people in my space that I have created of tranquility, of peace that took time and healing. And also saying no. No has been so beneficial to me with my mental health, with my time, with just my aura and really just like all of that. I have put myself first.

I made sure I was the first priority and then my kids because if I'm not healthy here and here, then everything is gonna fall apart. And I felt that, you know what I mean? If something happens to me, all this is going down because this is who I am. So I look at it like I had to prioritize Alexis, say no, and set boundaries. And that is how my glow has been.

You know, it's drinking water, it's health, it's doing things that I like to do, it's traveling, it's spending time with friends, it's eating out. It's all these things that make me who I am. It's going to school, It's following my passions. It's really just listening to my heart and really just putting myself first. So that's how my glow up came. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. I feel like I had a glow up...

After I had Fox, I had a little... I had to figure out how to... I didn't do it on purpose, but I got this supernatural strength. I just wanted to do everything. And for me, it was bodybuilding. I know I wanted to be back in shape and get my body back or whatever, but I was like, that's not enough.

I need to do the extreme. OK, I need to be a body. I need muscle. You did that, by the way. Yeah. So for me, I think like that challenged me and pushed me. And I had something to focus on. And it wasn't so much about like, you know, getting my body back.

It was more so like I'm about to challenge myself. Like I am a mom, but I'm so much more than that. Like I can still do this. I can do that. I can do whatever I want to do. And right now I want to body build. And I know I got like so much like flack from it, but. What's that? Can you hear that? Phil!

Come out! Explain it here! How? I was like, no, I don't hear that. Oh my God. Anyways, back. Those pictures came up, by the way, in my phone from the memories. It was around this time. I need to go back and look at them because the bitch is out of shape. Okay. Look, I need to run that glow up back there. Because I'll never forget that. You had that baby stroller right there, baby. I sure did.

And one. I was like, yeah. So, you know, it was more about like, just like you said, Alexis, like just really being selfish and kind of like worried about myself. And for me, I needed to focus on myself and you have to focus to bodybuild. It takes a lot of dedication. Oh, yes. Very much.

That for me was like how I got back into, you know, my glow up. I think that was the beginning of it for me. Yeah. My glow up was... medically retiring from the military. Hmm. And starting my own business. You know, I had a lot of doubters.

People who doubted me and, you know, said that, you're crazy for leaving the military after 12 and a half years. And... Why is that? Why is that? You're not supposed to leave after 12 and a half years. And... Why is that? You're not supposed to leave after 12 and a half? I'm just... Most people do the... You know, they become dependent on the military

because it's a steady income. You know, it's... It's just the same. And leaving at 12 and a half years is very much premature in people's eyes. Yeah, because they're scared. They don't know what else is out there. And I didn't know either, but I took the chance on myself. And I knew there was more, you know, my thought process, if I know what I'm making within in my future, five years from now, 10 years from now, I know what my paycheck is gonna be, that's not enough for me.

So I like to, you know, strive. I like to go further in life when it comes to that. So I was like, you know, this is not for me and it's time to give it up. So I stepped out on faith and opened up my own business with one check. And it just went up from there. I stepped out on faith and opened up my own business with one check and It just went up from there. Like who would have ever thought after medically retired from the military Two months later, I opened up a business and I'm on national TV

right More for yourself and know like you can have it. Like whatever you want, you can attain it. Like it's possible. I think that's the beginning. Like your mindset just has to shift and you really just have to focus on like what you see for yourself. What do you want your life to look like?

You know? And then just start making actions. Don't just talk about it. Do it. Be about it. Yeah, the common denominator is definitely that switch going off of like what it is for me. Like, I feel like we've all said that same thing.

It was something for me to do. And then that catapulted because we get consumed with, you know, as mothers, as significant others, we put so much into everyone else and forget about ourselves. So like to answer, you know, the humblebodies mail, it's really about tapping into your essence of who you are, your worth, your value. What do you want to leave your mark, your legacy of why you're here? Because, you know, life is short. So we only have one time at this.

So it's definitely about self and being healthy for self, doing what you like to do, showing up for those that show up for you, you know, all these things and really just at the end of the day, showing up for yourself because you're the only one you got. And don't be afraid to step out on faith. Like take that leap. You know, there's no guide or that says that you're going to make it all the way. And that you're not going to fail. You're going to fail. Get back up and keep going. Don't be afraid to step out on faith and do it. Yeah. Yeah. I love it.
