  Listen, nobody wants to give their money away to ridiculous bank fees. It's your money. You shouldn't have to pay somebody just to keep it in an account. That's why I like what Chime is doing. There are no overdraft fees, no monthly fees, and no minimum balance fees. You can also get 5% cash back on your Chime card in a category you choose, like gas or groceries, while building credit through your everyday spending with no credit check. And if you're ever in a pinch, SpotMe lets you overdraft up to $200 fee-free. To me, banking should make managing your money easier, not nickel and dime you every chance it gets. So if you're tired of ridiculous fees, Chime is definitely worth checking out. Join the millions who are already banking fee-free with America's number one choice for banking.

  Is this thing on? Hi, babies. Welcome back to another episode of Dumb Blonde. Actually, welcome back to a new season. And I figured, what better way to open up season number nine than with a guest who's been on the show? But since she's been on the show, so much has happened. And the internet is so curious about her. Ms. Whitney Rin, baby.

• 3:14Speaker 04

  Hello, bitches.

• 3:16Bunnie XO?

  First of all, let's tell everybody how hungover you are.

• 3:18Speaker 04

  Yeah, throughout, right before I came here, I actually texted her and I was like, well, she was sick first. And then she texted me and goes, I'm sick. I said, okay, me too, but I sucked it up.

• 3:28Bunnie XO?

  Dude, I fucking, I went through the neuro virus. You were just at our new bar last night.

• 3:35Speaker 04

  It was so good. It was so cute. Your, your whole, I'm like, damn, that's a good picture.

• 3:41Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 3:42Speaker 04

  Batty up there.

• 3:42Bunnie XO?

  Thank you. I'm like, I have, I have the funniest TikTok I'm gonna do when we go there tonight because it's this huge fucking picture of me, right? And all you see is a big ass toe. And it's like, that's not the toe I want to see. So I'm just gonna be there, I'm gonna be there like.

• 3:58Speaker 04

  What made you pick that?

• 3:59Bunnie XO?

  Gonna be pointing at it and then just zoom into the toe. I can't wait to do it.

• 4:02Speaker 04

  Why did I not notice the toe?

• 4:04Bunnie XO?

  Oh, everybody's gonna notice the toe now and I can't wait. It's gonna go viral. Can't fucking wait. But anyways, enough about me. We are here to talk about you, lady. So much has changed since the last time you were here. Last time you were on the show, you were here with your best friend, Kristen.

• 4:18Speaker 04

  Yeah, I was.

• 4:20Bunnie XO?

  And for anybody who wants to listen to that interview, I forget, I think it's season six, season seven, just look for Kristen and Whitney. You can get all their backstories. You can hear about how they grew up, all that stuff. This interview is going to be all about the drama. Okay, so no backstories here, but I want to just say I love you. You know that I love you and I've always had your back. And I hate having to see some of the shit you go through online. It really fucking sucks. And I think you handle it so good. Like, is it different now than when you were here last time? Like, how you handle things? Like, does it hurt as bad? Or is it just kind of roll off your shoulders now? Or do you have to really like process it and take

• 5:05Bunnie XO?

  time and like deal with it?

• 5:07Speaker 04

  Yeah, it affected me so much where I had to actually go, I was gonna walk into a mental hospital. So it was to the point where I pushed my boyfriend away. I pushed all my friends away. Like, all I was worried about was making money, which shout out to you, coming here like the last time definitely changed my life because I give you credit to all the ideas for everything for the podcast and everything. So, thank you for that.

• 5:32Bunnie XO?

  I appreciate that.

• 5:33Speaker 04

  But, yeah, like genuinely, I just think being on social media is like one of the hardest things that you can really do. Like, obviously, it's not a nine five and there's not really a lot that you can do like that way. But I just think that now, after like seeing that I really don't have much friends anymore, and then losing my boyfriend and everything was just put on like on social media, they're judging everything that you do, you say, you walk, you talk. I couldn't even walk outside and somebody not take a picture of me if I was with another guy or like anything like that. So it's just like, it gets annoying. But it definitely affected like my, my brain and

• 6:17Speaker 04

  the way I thought about things. I thought everybody was out to get me. Everybody wanted to hurt me or use me or everything like that. So, once I got medicine and stuff, I kind of stepped back and was like swallowed a lot. And now I just focus on me and what I want to do and. Make myself happy.

• 6:35Bunnie XO?

  So you ended up not going to the mental hospital, but you did get help and they put you on medication. Are you feeling better now?

• 6:42Speaker 04

  Yeah, I feel better. I feel less irritated. I think I was very overwhelmed with everything that was going on with like the podcast and my friends were hurting me constantly and my boyfriend was up my ass 24/7. So it was just like everything was leading up to like me just breaking.

• 6:59Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 7:00Speaker 04

  And it just pushed everybody away and I mean, I eventually like see now, not everybody has the best intentions for me and my life, except for like my family and there's like one or two people that obviously support me and stuff, but yeah, I feel better now.

• 7:19Bunnie XO?

  Well, I'm glad to hear that, but let's, okay, so let's take it back for everybody who is following this story and who knows a little bit about everything. Um, last time you were on the show, you were here with your best friend, Kristen. You guys were really tight. It seemed like, you know, um, a lot of us don't know what went on behind closed doors or how your guys' friendship was behind closed doors, but you guys had a very public friendship and then also a very public breakup. And this was before you were even with Tyler. So we're going to get into even how you and Tyler got together and that whole situation. But first let's talk about the BFF. What happened with you and Kristen exactly? Because I know everybody is so

• 7:59Bunnie XO?

  just invested in you guys. It's almost kind of sick.

• 8:03Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 8:03Bunnie XO?

  How and like, I'll see grown women that are just like so you guys are like literally reality TV, which we're going to talk about the reality TV show too, because you motherfucker should have came with me.

• 8:15Speaker 04

  I know.

• 8:16Bunnie XO?

  But

• 8:16Speaker 04

  Hey.

• 8:16Bunnie XO?

  It's all right.

• 8:17Speaker 04

  The future. There's always a future.

• 8:20Bunnie XO?

  There's always a second time around.

• 8:21Speaker 04

  That shit would be fun.

• 8:23Bunnie XO?

  But yeah, so what happened with you and Kristen? Like, take me on that journey and tell me, you know, what happened when you guys left here? You guys started the podcast. Let's start from there. You guys started the podcast. You guys started doing really good.

• 8:35Speaker 04

  I was doing a lot for her to like be successful. And one thing about me is I always want to see my friends rise up with me. I never want to see anybody fall. So I

• 8:49Speaker 04

  I think after that, we started the podcast. It was really good in the beginning because it was like, we were motivated to want to make episodes and have people on and stuff and then towards like the middle of it, it was kind of just me doing it and I started to get a little bit frustrated because I don't like doing something and you're gonna get 50 50, we're gonna put in the same effort. So I was losing that a little bit. So it started to get me irritated and her, plus she got with, she started getting with Jacob. And I had to motivate her to get up, to do things constantly, like we had a very, very close relationship, like very close, like I loved the fuck out of her, like she was

• 9:33Speaker 04

  my like ride or die, like I would do anything for her. And I think it kind of got a little bit like

• 9:40Speaker 04

  different after her and Jacob got together. So she kind of started, she's a very like one on one person, like if you're you have to just be one person. She doesn't really have a lot of people around her like that, so.

• 9:52Bunnie XO?

  She's like out of sight, out of mind.

• 9:53Speaker 04

  Yes. So then when she moved out, we started the podcast, did all that, and then she got with Jacob. Ever since then, I was kind of like very just like her personality changed. She wasn't as like clingy to me. So that changed me because like we were like this.

• 10:10Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 10:11Speaker 04

  So, um, after that, like her and Jacob got together, I kind of backed off a little bit because she started like pushed me away. So I was like, it's fine.

• 10:19Bunnie XO?

  Did she push you away because Jacob didn't like you?

• 10:23Speaker 04

  I don't think Jacob liked me the whole time.

• 10:24Bunnie XO?

  Why do you think he doesn't like you?

• 10:26Speaker 04

  Cause I knew he was, he's just very, like I love them now together. I'm happy for them. Um, I just didn't like the way that I see through people very easily. I can look at somebody and I swear to God, I'm psychic. I can look at somebody and just feel. Because of how much I wanted her to succeed and like I loved her so much and I saw everything Rocky put her through, she went through with Connor. Her being depressed, I had to go pick her up from her house, like everything just was, I was just now getting her to like where she could stand up on her own. And then Jacob steps in and he, I mean, not to be like that, but he didn't have followers, he didn't have money, he didn't have like,

• 11:11Speaker 04

  he was with Rachel, so it was just kinda like messy. And I did, I was just very standoffish with him. Because I didn't like the past of him, but I obviously accepted him, I was like, he's a good guy, whatever. Regardless of his past. So with them being together, kinda just like, I don't know if he just didn't like me because he's, I knew I saw and I would like, I'd never really made comments. It was just kinda like, why would you do that? Or like, why would you let him do that? So I think, he knew that I knew and like I loved her so much that it seemed like obsessive. Because I wanted to be around her all the time, like she just made me happy.

• 11:52Speaker 04

  So I think he kinda just never really liked me, I never, we went on vacations and stuff and he never even had conversations with me.

• 11:59Bunnie XO?

  Do you think maybe she was telling him stuff without you around, which is why he was like that?

• 12:04Speaker 04

  Maybe. But I don't, there was never like, I'm very honest, I'm very blunt. So if you have a problem there, you're, you have something wrong and you gotta tell me or else I won't care.

• 12:15Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 12:15Speaker 04

  I'll still do the same shit. And then after me and Tyler, when me and Tyler got together, she got even weirder. And like, I don't know, everything just like fell apart, like it just with the podcast, like, she claimed that we were just more business partners, but I was still in her phone every day checking up on her, hey, how are you? How was the baby? Are you good? Are you sick? Do you need me to bring you anything? Do you want food? Do you want water? Everything like that, like, I was like this. Cause I wanted her to be my friend so bad and I don't know why. I just think like, I've never been around somebody that's so genuinely fun and like funny and like we get along very well. So everything just switched, her personality completely changed. When she got with Jacob.

• 12:59Speaker 04

  So ever since then, like I kinda just,

• 13:01Bunnie XO?

  Left you on the best.

• 13:03Speaker 04

  But like even hanging, hanging out with her recently, the last times we were hanging out, she's so different. She doesn't really laugh, like, So it kinda just got to where the baby came and then she tried to say like, I'm growing away from you and then it, I don't know, I just, I'm very, I'm a very good friend. So sometimes like things I, I don't see in front of me. I just want to make people better and I don't know. Everything changed.

• 13:32Bunnie XO?

  Well, you make jokes about it online and every, there's kind of a rumor that swirls around online. Like, were you in love with Kristen? It wasn't ever like?

• 13:42Speaker 04

  No. In the beginning, in the beginning, I think like we would, she would make out with me all the time.

• 13:48Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 13:48Speaker 04

  But I don't know if it was like just her, we would just be drunk and stuff, but we never hooked up or anything like it never got to that. She's straight. I'm, I'm, I'm not into girls like that anymore. So it, it was never like that. But I just, I think I fell in love with our relationship, our friendship. Because it was so easy to be myself. Yeah. And I've never really had a sister like that.

• 14:12Bunnie XO?

• 15:46Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 15:47Bunnie XO?

  But we're gonna do it soon.

• 15:48Speaker 05

  And one thing I noticed about touring in studios is it never happens.

• 15:53Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 15:54Speaker 05

  Like, I always be like, we bring all kinda shit on the bus, and we be like, oh, man, we gonna record an album on the off days, and shit.

• 16:02Bunnie XO?

  No.

• 16:03Speaker 05

  Man, the off days, you be like, it's some fucking hotel, uh, swimming pool with a barbecue grill, and...

• 16:10Bunnie XO?

  Like, you just, you wanna enjoy your days off. That's what we did, uh, when I was on tour, just this last tour, we brought all the podcast stuff, and I was like, I'm gonna interview everybody on the tour.

• 16:18Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 16:18Bunnie XO?

  Never fucking happened.

• 16:19Speaker 05

  Never happens.

• 16:20Bunnie XO?

  Cause I was just like, I didn't wanna do hair and makeup. I didn't wanna fucking, like, I was just like, no, please. So I, trust me, I totally feel that.

• 16:27Speaker 05

  It don't happen, yeah.

  Yeah, so this Friday, which would be like the 21st or something.

• 16:41Bunnie XO?

  Okay.

• 16:42Speaker 05

  Whatever this Friday is, I got a new single with Crazy Bone coming out from Bone Thugs.

• 16:47Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 16:47Speaker 05

  Talked about that.

• 16:48Bunnie XO?

  Mm-hmm.

• 16:48Speaker 05

  For the longest, 36 Mafia and Bone Thugs was rivals, long time rivals.

• 16:53Bunnie XO?

  Actually, when Jay and I first got together, I'm a Bone Thugs girl, he's 36 guy, and he's like, don't ever talk about Bone Thugs in the house.

• 17:02Speaker 05

  Thank you for that, Jelly, thank you for that.

• 17:03Bunnie XO?

  His loyalty with you guys.

• 17:05Speaker 05

  Thank you very much, thank you very much.

• 17:06Bunnie XO?

  Like, we for real got in an argument one time, cause I was like, are you fucking kidding me? I was like, it's Bone Thug, and he's like, no, bitch, you're in my house now, this is fucking, it's 36 all day long.

• 17:17Speaker 05

  So we was, we was into it back in the day, and I don't know if you seen our verses, we did verses like,

• 17:23Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 17:23Speaker 05

  Two, three years ago, we got to a,

• 17:25Bunnie XO?

  I did, I watched it.

• 17:26Speaker 05

  A physical fight on stage.

• 17:27Bunnie XO?

  That's when him and I got into that argument.

• 17:29Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 17:30Bunnie XO?

  Was during the verses.

• 17:32Speaker 05

  Yeah, well, like, you know, like, and we, and us and Bone have been friends for years. We did our first song together with Crazy Bone on the Project Pet album back in 1997. The beat started in like 93.

• 17:46Bunnie XO?

  Mm-hmm.

• 17:47Speaker 05

  Um, you know, so we've been, you know, cool ever since then. Bone is like my brother brothers. Like I'm, I'm closer with, with some members of Bone than I am with actual family members.

• 17:57Bunnie XO?

  They're actually supposed to be coming on the podcast.

• 17:59Speaker 05

  Yeah, I love those guys, man. So like, even when that, when that happened, that day, like some, some of us looked at each other, like we charged at each other, like, like, man, I'm not gonna hit you, like, I'm not gonna hit you, like, no, I'm not gonna hit you. And we hugged, you know, we hugged. So it's like.

• 18:16Bunnie XO?

  I feel like Busy is the one who pops it off all the time.

• 18:18Speaker 05

  He did do that. Busy, Busy is who did it. Cause everybody else, man, I, I, I see these dudes every day. We got the same merch factory.

• 18:25Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 18:26Speaker 05

  Like, we go to work together. We coworkers. But I hadn't, I hadn't never, I'd never really seen Busy in real life except like in nineteen ninety-six at Atlanta Airport.

• 18:37Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 18:38Speaker 05

  Uh, that was the only time I had ever seen him.

• 18:40Bunnie XO?

  They say he's really elusive. I met him one time and it was like meeting an alien. He just was like, he like, he doesn't talk. I don't know. He's just got a very different energy.

• 18:50Speaker 05

  Yeah, he don't, he don't really talk. He's real quiet. You know, he's, he's really deep, you know, he's really deep with his thoughts and all that.

• 18:57Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 18:57Speaker 05

  You know, I like him, you know, I'm a fan. He's really cool. And I like how he started it off. I like how he started the verses. He brought, cause I started it off, you know, we all friends with each other. So I started off like, oh man, yeah, man, we've been going here for history and for the culture, you know, Three Seas Mafia, boom. We're gonna have a good time. They're gonna do some songs and we're gonna do some songs. Busy said, fuck that. He started posting shit of him beating us up and shooting us and killing us. And I'm like, oh, we playing prison rules now. Okay, Busy, okay, we good. So I started posting stuff back.

• 19:35Speaker 05

  We would take each other heads, like put it on other little bodies from a movie where somebody get locked in a trunk or beat up or something. So he started it off. He, but it was good.

• 19:47Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 19:48Speaker 05

  Because he started really building it to be like a, a real, a real match, like a Mike Tyson.

• 19:55Bunnie XO?

  Like a real versus.

• 19:56Speaker 05

  You know, fight or something. Yeah, he, he, he built it up. He took it there. So when we walked out on stage, you know, we was walking, shaking, hugging hands and he was still in character. Like he was looking at me like, I'm like, okay, I thought this was just a publicity stunt, but I think this nigga is serious. So he didn't even shake nobody's hand. He was looking at her like, I'm like, okay, this finna be a fun night. And you know, so I just, I got back into it. He was looking at me mad. So I'm like, okay, if that's where you wanna go, we can just go there, motherfucker. Like this, I can do the mean, mad shit all day.

• 20:30Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 20:30Speaker 05

  I was trying to be the nice dude, but if you wanna do that, then we can just do that. And this and that. So, you know, all night we was, you know, this and that, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad with him. You know, and then next thing I know, he just hauled off and threw the bottle of water at Gangsta Boob. No, he called us ugly first. He like, man, you ugly motherfuckers. This and that. And I was like, okay, a man called another man ugly, but okay, I get it. You pretty. You got long hair. I don't have long hair. I used to have long hair. I don't have long hair no more. But, you know, so he called us ugly and then he threw the water bottle at Gangsta Boob. So then I ran up to, you know, to block them and protect them, but I wasn't gonna go over there and hit him.

• 21:13Speaker 05

  You know, I wasn't gonna hit him. I wasn't gonna hit nobody in that group because I'm cool with everybody in that group. So I just really just ran up just to like, stop this dude. But then, you know, next thing I know, my boys behind me kept running. They didn't stop. Cause they don't hang out with them. So then they ran and next thing I know, you know, people start punching this and that and we, we broke it up.

• 21:34Bunnie XO?

  Was it still all for publicity or was it real on business end?

• 21:37Speaker 05

  No, that was real.

• 21:38Bunnie XO?

  Wow.

• 21:39Speaker 05

  Yeah, that was real.

• 21:40Bunnie XO?

  That was probably one of the most iconic verses though.

• 21:42Speaker 05

  Man, those people backstage with black eyes. Yeah, it was real.

• 21:46Bunnie XO?

  Holy shit.

• 21:47Speaker 05

  Yeah, it was real, real. There wasn't no, there wasn't, it was real. And then they sit him backstage. He stayed backstage for a while to calm down. And we, we continued it. And then he walked back on stage. He walked straight over to me, you know, he apologized and he like, man, you know, this, this. I was like, man, I'm not tripping, bro. You're like, we all family here. We all hugged out and then it's the first of them.

• 22:12Speaker 05

  You know, we sung the song together. The vibes was back good and backstage, everybody was hugging and taking pictures. It was back cool. Man, man, Lazy Bone posted a picture backstage of us hugging each other, smiling. It was, um, it was everywhere.

• 22:26Bunnie XO?

  I remember popping my collar was my shit because I was working, you know, I was a, an escort back in Vegas. I was a high, high-priced call girl. So fucking popping my collar was my shit. Who, who had the pimp themes in the 36 Mafia? Was that influenced from your childhood or was that?

• 22:43Speaker 05

  Yeah, my brother was an actual pimp.

• 22:45Bunnie XO?

  Okay, gotcha.

• 22:46Speaker 05

  I had a brother that was an actual pimp.

• 22:47Bunnie XO?

  Gotcha.

• 22:48Speaker 05

  Yeah, he got, he got killed being a pimp.

• 22:51Bunnie XO?

  Oh, rest in peace.

• 22:53Speaker 05

  Yeah, so, uh, yeah, I grew up, I grew up in that too.

• 22:57Bunnie XO?

  Okay, gotcha.

• 22:58Speaker 05

  When I say I grew up around organized crime, I basically did.

• 23:03Bunnie XO?

  All of it. Well, I mean, you can't have drug dealing without hookers and blow either, you know? So it's like, it, it all goes hand in hand.

• 23:10Speaker 05

  Yeah, it do.

• 23:10Bunnie XO?

  But yeah, that was my shit. I was popping my collar, popping, popping my collar everywhere, everywhere I'd go. I'd drive to like, you know, to my appointments and shit and be bumping 36. It was my shit.

• 23:20Speaker 05

  And it, yeah, and if you, yeah, if you, if you was in that, in that life, then you knew that a lot of Memphis people was into pimping.

• 23:27Bunnie XO?

  Yes, absolutely.

• 23:28Speaker 05

  Memphis has so many pimps, man. That was, that was the thing back then. So many, gold teeth.

• 23:35Bunnie XO?

  It was a different lifestyle too, you know, like it's not like it was, it's not like it is now. Like, people always say that I glamorized that life, but it's not that I glamorized it. It's the life that I lived. And it made me a lot of fucking money. And like, yeah, there are downsides to every fucking sort of street thing that you could possibly do. But there was also some good that came out of it for, for me. And I always, I don't try to glamorize it, but I do try to tell the truth about it, you know? And it was a different time in life.

• 24:01Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:01Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, it was. It was completely different.

• 24:04Speaker 05

  Yeah, it was. You know, like, I grew up doing a lot of crazy shit too that, you know, I wouldn't, I wouldn't glamorize or talk about. I guess, I, I guess I do with, with the raps.

• 24:12Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 24:12Speaker 05

  But, you know, like in a, in a way, but, you know, I just, I just noticed that a lot of people that I know that came from bad things in their past. I know a lot of people that's doing, the ones that survived, they're doing really, really good now.

• 24:25Bunnie XO?

  Absolutely. We're all on our way.

• 24:26Speaker 05

  You look at Master P, Master P came from, you know, crazy shit, crazy shit, you know, like, you know, now they're doing, worth hundreds of millions. You know, hundreds of millions because what I think it is, is. You get a different knowledge going through shit in the streets that a school could never teach you.

• 24:44Bunnie XO?

  Yes, I always say.

• 24:45Speaker 05

  I know people that went to, when you asked me to go to college, I said, hell no, because I know some people that went to college that ain't doing nothing right now.

• 24:51Bunnie XO?

  Absolutely. I always say street smarts over book smarts.

• 24:54Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 24:55Bunnie XO?

  Like, book smarts are a necessity for if you're gonna work a regular job and if you're gonna like, you know, be a CEO of like a financial place, but like, if you, in life, the school of hard knocks is gonna teach you the most lessons.

• 25:08Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 25:09Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, absolutely.

• 25:10Speaker 05

  Even in the music business, some people that I know that taught theyself music or this or that versus some people I know that went to school for music, they're in two different worlds.

• 25:22Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, absolutely.

• 25:23Speaker 05

  Two, two different worlds.

• 25:24Bunnie XO?

  It's just because hustle can't be taught, or hu- hustle can't be bought, you know, and it's like, school, you're, that's, you're essentially learning from somebody else, but like, in the streets, it's hands-on. You are, it's sink or fuckin' swim. Nobody's out there to save you, so you're gonna have to, it's kill or be killed. You have to figure it out yourself.

• 25:42Speaker 05

  Yeah, and you learn from, from, you learn more from pain. School don't teach pain.

• 25:48Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, absolutely.

• 25:49Speaker 05

  Pain is the quickest way to learn anything.

• 25:51Bunnie XO?

  That is a beautiful way to put it.

• 25:52Speaker 05

  Yeah, you get hit in the mouth and you be like, god damn, I should have blocked. Next time, I'm gonna block because that shit was not cool.

• 26:00Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, absolutely, but that's a beautiful.

• 26:02Speaker 05

  That shit probably add that to school, just walk around and. But you know, it wasn't school back in the day. I got a lot of weapons.

• 26:09Bunnie XO?

  Yes, I've gotten spanked by the principal before. Have you guys ever gotten spanked?

• 26:13Speaker 05

  Hell no.

• 26:14Bunnie XO?

  Aw, fucking.

• 26:15Speaker 05

  Man, they gonna call the police.

• 26:16Bunnie XO?

  No, yeah, I've gotten spanked. I had a principal who was able to spank kids.

• 26:21Speaker 05

  Me too.

• 26:22Bunnie XO?

  I couldn't imagine that.

• 26:23Speaker 05

  Mr. Chambers, man, that motherfucker, man, he was the coolest dude in the world. He was tall, handsome, he looked like, he looked exactly like, uh, Laurence Fishburne.

• 26:34Bunnie XO?

  Oh, wow.

• 26:35Speaker 05

  And he would walk in there. He always had a mean face. And like, you had to really do something really fucked up for him to come. And this and that, so like, they, they pressed that button. Like, Mr. Chambers, uh, Paul is acting up again, I need you to come over here. He show up to that door. Come here, bar guy. He said, you know it's gonna be trouble and I gotta make house calls. That's what he said. You know it's trouble, I gotta make house calls. He was a comedian. Boy, and he was, he will whoop you in front of everybody.

• 27:05Bunnie XO?

  Oh, not in front of everybody, that's embarrassing.

• 27:08Speaker 05

  Right there, pull them pants up in the back. So it's tight. Pull them pants up. Man, he'll ask you which one you want, like the strap for the hand or the paddle with the butt.

• 27:19Bunnie XO?

  Yes.

• 27:20Speaker 05

  And this nigga, this nigga constructed a paddle that was worse, he put holes in it.

• 27:26Bunnie XO?

  Oh, he wanted it to catch the wind.

• 27:28Speaker 05

  Yeah, so, man, and then it like, it sucked in a little bit more, I think, because of the holes. Man, he like, which one, bar guy? Hand or the butt? I'm like, oh, God. So, man, he would be right there in front of everybody, but this the funniest story. My daddy owned a, a pest control company. And one day, my daddy got called to go to this dude's house.

• 27:50Bunnie XO?

  Oh.

• 27:51Speaker 05

  Man, we showed up to this house, I like mid-century modern houses. We showed up to this house, nice one-level mid-century modern house. In the hood, though.

• 28:00Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 28:01Speaker 05

  But it was the nicest house on the street.

• 28:02Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 28:03Speaker 05

  I'm like, yeah, that's a nice house. This and that, that was the only reason I went with my daddy, because I like to see houses. Like I told you, it's the sixty-five-year-old white woman inside of me. I'm walking out, like, man, it's a nice landscaping he got right here, it's a nice house. Man, next thing I know, the door swing opened and it was his ass. I said, what, I said, I said, uh, daddy, I said, this is the nigga I was telling you about. This is my principal, this is who be whooping me.

• 28:32Bunnie XO?

  We are in season motherfucking nine, baby. Full steam ahead. Boop boop. Hi. Hey. Hi guys. I love that you guys are like regular staples on the podcast now. Yeah. Do you remember when we first started out, you guys would not let anybody video you. This one for sure. Haley. There's hand only and her hand had to look a certain way. No, or if we put her face in it, she would make us put an emoji over it.

• 28:56Speaker 06

  I'd put the emoji over it.

• 28:58Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, it was, it's just been really cool to watch you guys glow up in front of the camera.

• 29:02Speaker 06

  Now I was on here with no makeup.

• 29:03Bunnie XO?

  Girl, I did one podcast with no makeup on. I was like, never again. I look dead. I'm not doing it ever again. Never, never, never. I went from only ever wearing makeup to nothing. You gotta watch your smacking. Well, it's cause you're beautiful.

• 29:18Bunnie XO?

  The way you just mommed her and the way she looked at you, her mommy issues kicked up so tough in that fucking glance. Just hear it over here so I can just imagine what. I heard it over here too. I heard it over here too. Uh, it's, it's an art to chew gum and do podcasting at the same time. I literally hold it like tobacco in my lip. Did you just put it on my couch? It's in her finger. She's up here rolling it. Put it on Mimi. She likes it. She likes it. Don't, don't. Well, guys, I am so excited to be back. You have no fricking idea. This season, as you guys can see, is already starting off to be a banger. And I'm just, uh, you know, really, really excited for everybody to see all the guests and just doing other fucking season, man.

• 30:03Bunnie XO?

  Season nine. I can't believe we're in season nine. I feel like we should celebrate season 10 when it gets here. Cause that's like monumental. It is.

• 30:11Speaker 06

  Definitely number balloons.

• 30:12Bunnie XO?

  How many? Oh God. I'm gonna be one of those people like the ones on Instagram when they reach a mile. So I fucking hate that. Don't do that. If you're, first of all, I don't like, you did it.

• 30:24Speaker 06

  Well, no, I didn't do it.

• 30:26Bunnie XO?

  You're the type.

• 30:27Speaker 06

  Jade brought me a hundred K.

• 30:28Bunnie XO?

  Jade's the type too. Love you Jade. Influencers too, though, like. I hate the term influencer. I think it's the weirdest thing ever.

• 30:36Speaker 06

  I don't think I'm an influencer anymore. I used to be like.

• 30:39Bunnie XO?

  Your ASMR videos tell me yes. What, what do they?

• 30:43Speaker 06

  I used to be like a guru, like a beauty guru. Like I feel like I don't do that anymore.

• 30:49Bunnie XO?

  Well, cuz you're letting people get to know you a little bit more. You don't have a niche. And I feel like, I guess if it's to be an influencer, you have to have a niche, like fucking,

• 30:58Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 30:58Bunnie XO?

  What's her name? Nora Ford?

• 31:00Speaker 07

  Oh, yeah.

• 31:01Bunnie XO?

  Nora Smith, no, Nora Ford's the hot OF model. I'm sorry. Um, yeah, like Nora Smith, like, love her.

• 31:10Speaker 07

  She has a very, very niche thing. But I wouldn't also say she's an influencer. That's what those are, yeah.

• 31:18Bunnie XO?

  Do you know how many women wake up every day and wanna be fucking dropped and gorgeous and bake a loaf of bread? I can't eat.

• 31:25Speaker 07

  I kinda wanna make a sourdough. You guys, if I had the patience, I would. I'm obsessed.

• 31:30Bunnie XO?

  I don't know how to do it. I'm afraid I would poison myself.

• 31:32Speaker 07

  The starters are scary, though.

• 31:34Bunnie XO?

  Oh, they look like they're alive.

• 31:36Speaker 07

  Obsessed with it. When I tell you I could make it if I had it, like, no problem, but it's the patience.

• 31:42Bunnie XO?

  I don't have a ton of jealousy in me at all. You guys know that. Nothing makes me jealous. The one thing in the world that makes me jealous is bitches who can garden, bitches who can fucking bake a loaf of bread, bitches who can just cook anything from scratch. Steak and eggs? Gotcha. All day long.

• 32:02Speaker 07

  Chicken? Done.

• 32:03Bunnie XO?

  You want me to fricking, you want me to make you homemade pudding? Absolutely fucking not. I don't know what I'm doing. Or like the bitches who make beef tallow, like for their skincare products, like, I wanna learn how to do that. I would be a hippie with armpit hair and just fucking live at home.

• 32:18Speaker 07

  I'm gonna teach you how to make butter.

• 32:21Bunnie XO?

  When the fuck did you learn how to make butter?

• 32:22Speaker 07

  Oh, you did not see my video? It's easy. Got millions of views.

• 32:25Bunnie XO?

  I didn't think it was real.

• 32:29Bunnie XO?

  I didn't think it was real.

• 32:31Speaker 07

  My butter is delicious, okay?

• 32:33Bunnie XO?

  How do you make it?

• 32:35Speaker 07

  You literally just put it in a mixer.

• 32:38Bunnie XO?

  Motherfucker, I need something hard. I want something complex.

• 32:41Speaker 07

  Then you gotta put it in the water, and then you gotta squeeze it, then you gotta season it, then you gotta roll it, that kinda stuff. But like, actually ingredient-wise, it's just heavy whipping cream in a blender for like, or a thing for 20 minutes.

• 32:53Bunnie XO?

  I need non-dairy options.

• 32:56Bunnie XO?

  Let's do the real hard stuff.

• 32:57Speaker 06

  Is there non dairy whipping cream?

• 32:59Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, I use it all the time.

• 33:01Speaker 07

  Well, there you go. I don't know if it'll separate like real butter, but yeah.

• 33:04Bunnie XO?

  Those fucking seasonings never do. Like if you get gluten free breadcrumbs, they're not, they're not like the real fucking thing.

• 33:09Speaker 07

  Jason is traumatized after you accidentally ordered him gluten free bread on his Jimmy John's and he talks about it quite often.

• 33:16Bunnie XO?

  I love gluten free bread over regular bread any day.

• 33:20Speaker 07

  He said it tastes like cardboard.

• 33:21Bunnie XO?

  No way.

• 33:22Speaker 07

  Oh yeah. He was like, I will never.

• 33:23Bunnie XO?

  He got my sandwich then.

• 33:24Speaker 07

  No, you ordered every once because it was like a party.

• 33:27Bunnie XO?

  Oh.

• 33:28Speaker 07

  And he was so traumatized to this day. He's like, I will not let Bunny order me a sandwich. I have to put it in myself.

• 33:35Bunnie XO?

  I didn't even know. God.

• 33:40Bunnie XO?

  Okay. So we went to Hawaii.

• 33:42Speaker 07

  Hawaii.

• 33:42Bunnie XO?

  How amazing was the Hawaii trip?

• 33:44Speaker 07

  Life changing.

• 33:45Speaker 06

  I did not want to leave.

• 33:46Bunnie XO?

  Dude, it was so needed and I didn't realize how needed and necessary it was for all of us.

• 33:53Speaker 07

  Yes.

• 33:54Bunnie XO?

  We got to frolic and play like fairies in the forest.

• 33:57Speaker 07

  What a good word.

• 33:58Bunnie XO?

  Literally, we frolicked.

• 34:00Speaker 07

  We did.

• 34:00Bunnie XO?

  I mean, I think I saw the boys, their little toes were twinkling. Like everybody was excited to fucking.

• 34:06Speaker 06

  The boys were all holding hands when they were jumping.

• 34:08Speaker 07

  They were, they were literally like going off the cliff, holding hands.

• 34:11Speaker 06

  Never thought I'd see Boston, holding hands and jumping off a cliff.

• 34:15Speaker 07

  Boston literally looks at everyone goes, we gotta hold hands, man. Alright.

• 34:22Speaker 07

  But I'm letting go so we don't hit heads.

• 34:24Bunnie XO?

  I know. My husband wanted to hold my hand. I said, I love you. I'm going to hold your hand ever so gingerly, but you're not pulling me down with you.

• 34:30Speaker 07

  No, hell no.

• 34:31Bunnie XO?

  Like I'll, I'll jump with you, but mid air, we're disconnected.

• 34:35Speaker 07

  We're not going in together.

• 34:36Bunnie XO?

  Taking my hand back, gotta go. When I tell you this man, this fucking sexy little minx went all out, bro. And like, I've been with my dude for nine years. My husband is. One, we don't do stuff like this for each other. We're not over the top. Like we'll buy each other cars, stuff like that. But you know,

• 34:56Speaker 07

  Something that requires like an immense amount of planning.

• 34:59Bunnie XO?

  That and romance.

• 35:00Speaker 07

  Yeah, like it was, this was literally romantic.

• 35:03Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, my husband is a Capricorn Venus. I don't know if you guys know anything about Capricorn Venuses, but their love language is work. Okay, like that's, I'm a Capricorn Aquarius. That's all I do is work. But their love language is fucking work. No romantic bone in his body. So when I, when I saw my husband plan out this entire trip, which Mimi knew about it, I didn't even fucking know about it and hid it from me. Um, I guess he had been planning it before he even asked me or was like thinking about it or something.

• 35:33Speaker 07

  We had been, well, when you pulled plug, I immediately set up a meeting with him and I was like, call me ASAP. She pulled the plug. And so I was like, we have, something has to happen. I was like, even if I literally just go over there and cook her dinner, I'm not letting this birthday go by without celebrating because it's the first time we've been together eight years almost. And you've never let me celebrate you. And like, this was their first year that you said yes. And I was like, everyone hold tight, we're doing it. We were so excited. We were like, this has to happen. And when you pulled the plug, I was like, fuck.

• 36:03Bunnie XO?

  That's probably why my husband said, so are you going to Puerto Rico? Because you had texted him and told him. So yeah, so we, I just trusted him. I never, I'm a control freak too. But I was just like, you know what, baby? Whatever you want to do. He's like, all right. He was so anal about the entire process that he wouldn't even tell me. I wasn't allowed to ask when we were flying out. I wasn't allowed, I'm like, I need to know so I can pack and be there, you know, like, we get on, he, my husband gets me a private jet, flies me from Nashville to, flies us from Nashville to LA and then from LA, we got on a commercial flight to Honolulu or um Kona. And when we land, we've never been to Kona. And when we land, we get to the Four Seasons in Kona,

• 36:48Bunnie XO?

  which by the way, guys, if you're ever gonna stay at a place in Hawaii, please stay at the Four Seasons in Kona. It will blow your mind. The people there, Miss Cindy will greet you.

• 36:58Speaker 07

  Can we take Miss Cindy home one day?

• 36:59Bunnie XO?

  She has Moana's grandma energy.

• 37:01Speaker 07

  Absolutely.

• 37:03Bunnie XO?

  Just so loving, so sweet. Like you will get laid the minute you get there.

• 37:08Speaker 07

  Knew everyone died in.

• 37:09Bunnie XO?

  Tasha got laid twice.

• 37:11Speaker 07

  How was, oh, I'll say it in a second. Never mind.

• 37:14Bunnie XO?

  What?

• 37:15Speaker 07

  I said, how was it that Haley was the only one that didn't get laid?

• 37:18Bunnie XO?

  She kept protesting.

• 37:19Speaker 07

  Like everyone on the trip, just immense amount of sex. Haley, nothing.

• 37:25Speaker 06

  I did it myself.

• 37:26Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 37:26Speaker 06

  I didn't have to talk to anyone.

• 37:27Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, I kept telling Haley, I'm like, let me hook you up with somebody. Let me, let's go on Tinder. Let's do something. And she was just like not having it. And I'm not gonna force her if she didn't want to, you know? So anyways, we get to this place, the Four Seasons in Kona. They, my husband got the presidential suite for me and I've never stayed in a presidential suite ever in my entire fucking life. I mean, with sugar daddies, of course, but like not with somebody that I love. And this wasn't a suite. This was a fucking huge four.

• 37:57Speaker 07

  Mansion. Yeah, I was like, it is like huge.

• 38:01Bunnie XO?

  It was crazy. It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw. And it was the sweetest thing. And my husband just really went above and beyond and you know.

• 38:10Speaker 06

  And every place we went to was decorated with like happy birthday stuff.

• 38:14Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 38:15Speaker 06

  Champagne and.

• 38:16Speaker 07

  Your layover in LAX.

• 38:18Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 38:18Speaker 07

  Was decorated, like he literally, he decorated the PJ.

• 38:22Speaker 06

  The plane.

• 38:22Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 38:22Speaker 06

  So the plane was there. Everything was decorated.

• 38:24Speaker 07

  Every step of the way was so above and beyond.

• 38:28Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, it was really sweet. And I, I know everybody's like, oh, good for you, you know? But it's like, you have no idea. My husband is not a romantic. So for him to have gone to those links to do what he did meant so much to me because we've been together almost a decade and I've never seen that side of him. And I was like, I could get used to this. I understand now why girls like the princess treatment. Ladies who have been doing the princess treatment, you motherfuckers have been doing it right. Okay? It's nice. No, it's noise. It is like, I have the one, the only KT Smith in the house, baby.

• 39:04Speaker 08

  Hello.

• 39:05Bunnie XO?

  How are you?

• 39:06Speaker 08

  I'm happy to be here.

• 39:07Bunnie XO?

  You are stunning. When you walked in, I was like, oh, my God, she's so pretty.

• 39:10Speaker 08

  Thank you. I have some zits right now, but you know.

• 39:13Bunnie XO?

  Nobody can see those. Stop it.

• 39:15Speaker 08

  And then I met Morgan on Snapchat in 2016.

• 39:20Bunnie XO?

  Not the old Snapchat romance.

• 39:22Speaker 08

  Yes. And I mean, we only snapped for about a month and then we met right after my birthday.

• 39:32Bunnie XO?

  And you met him before he was even Morgan Wallen?

• 39:35Speaker 08

  Yeah.

• 39:36Bunnie XO?

  Yeah. So you.

• 39:37Speaker 08

  And I didn't know who he was.

• 39:38Bunnie XO?

  Right.

• 39:38Speaker 08

  He had, he had just been on The Voice, but I was, I didn't think that was cool or anything.

• 39:42Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 39:44Speaker 08

  But I showed the people that I worked with at the church, like, I was like, just don't judge like the way he looks. Cause he had like long hair and I was just like, just take it with a grain of salt. And she was like, oh, he's cute. And I was like, oh, you think so?

• 39:58Speaker 08

  So we started dating and.

• 40:00Bunnie XO?

  How soon after you guys were snapping for that month? Like, what, what was the first date?

• 40:04Speaker 08

  Later. We didn't have a first date.

• 40:06Bunnie XO?

  Oh, so you guys just went straight into the frying pan?

• 40:09Speaker 08

  Yeah. So I, he invited me to like his show, which wasn't really a show. There weren't many people there.

• 40:16Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 40:17Speaker 08

  But it was with Josh Turner and then we, he invited me to hang out afterwards at this bar. Shocker. And it was not, did not go as expected.

• 40:32Bunnie XO?

  Oh, no. What happened?

• 40:33Speaker 08

  I was, he was not thrilled that I wouldn't go home with him.

• 40:37Bunnie XO?

  Oh.

• 40:38Speaker 08

  And so I ended up going home by myself, but it did not end well in that aspect. Then my phone died, but then when I got home, he was like, I'm so sorry, like all the stuff. Like I usually don't act like that.

• 40:49Bunnie XO?

  Was he drinking whenever?

• 40:50Speaker 08

  Oh, yeah. Okay.

• 40:51Bunnie XO?

  Yes.

• 40:52Speaker 08

  Heavily.

• 40:53Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 40:53Speaker 08

  And, but then I was like, okay, whatever. We'll try again. So then we hung out again on Thanksgiving and then a month later.

• 41:04Speaker 08

  We were like, we were pretty serious around this time. Um, I guess pretty serious as in a month later, but

• 41:09Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 41:10Speaker 08

  He invited me to-

• 41:11Bunnie XO?

  Jay and I got married a month after we met. So, I mean, you never know. When you know, you know.

• 41:15Speaker 08

  Yeah.

• 41:15Bunnie XO?

  You know, or like, yeah, you know what I'm saying?

• 41:18Speaker 08

  I've thought I've known a few times.

• 41:20Bunnie XO?

  It's okay though. Hopeless romantic is, I think it's a beautiful thing.

• 41:24Speaker 08

  He can bite you in the butt, I guess. It is like definitely great in the time being.

• 41:29Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 41:29Speaker 08

  Um, but a month later, he invited me to his family's Christmas and he was like, oh, it's just fifteen. I swear to this day, he still doesn't say that it was only fifteen minutes away. But I'm like, you told me that we were going fifteen minutes away. It ended up being like an hour and a half drive with his like parents that I had never met in the car.

• 41:51Speaker 08

  And I mean, it was a lot of fun, but I got there and there's probably a hundred people

• 41:54Bunnie XO?

  Oh, wow.

• 41:55Speaker 08

  that I had to meet. Um, and-

• 41:58Bunnie XO?

  So he did not prepare you at all for meeting the entire family?

• 42:01Speaker 08

  Not at all. And then it got, it was really serious. We got engaged four months later in April. Um, which is funny because I always get engaged around Easter.

• 42:14Bunnie XO?

  No more engagements around Easter.

• 42:16Speaker 08

  Coming up. Easter's coming up.

• 42:18Bunnie XO?

  Not doing it. I'm gonna call you that day and be like, listen, lady, not happening.

• 42:22Speaker 08

  No. Got engaged and then-

• 42:25Bunnie XO?

  So when you guys got engaged, were you like just head over heels for each other and you guys were just ready to start life together?

• 42:33Speaker 08

  Oh, yeah. I mean, throughout our relationship, there were like all the trauma and stuff. Like I thought he hung the moon and stars.

• 42:39Bunnie XO?

  No.

• 42:40Speaker 08

  Like everything that he did, I was like amazed by. Um, but yeah, he, we, my ring was from like, what's that store in the mall? Swarski?

• 42:52Bunnie XO?

  Swarovski, Swarovski. Oh.

• 42:55Speaker 08

  So it was like a seventy-five dollar ring. I didn't care. We, I was just like, I don't want a big ring. Like you could do, it was like the whole, you could give me a ring pop thing. I don't care.

• 43:04Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 43:05Speaker 08

  Um, so we, I was, had to go to work right after that. So we had about five minutes and in the parking lot, he said, are we gonna do this or what? And then we were engaged. That was there, that was the proposal at the JCPenney parking lot in Knoxville.

• 43:19Bunnie XO?

  Listen, I think it's romantic.

• 43:20Speaker 08

  Yeah.

• 43:23Speaker 08

  Not while you marry me or anything, but.

• 43:25Bunnie XO?

  Are we gonna do this or not?

• 43:26Speaker 08

  Yeah. Are we gonna do this or what?

• 43:28Bunnie XO?

  I love that. That's, that's, uh, it sounds like something my husband would do.

• 43:31Speaker 08

  And I mean, I loved it.

• 43:33Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 43:33Speaker 08

  And I was thrilled. And then after work, we got pizza and celebrated.

• 43:36Bunnie XO?

  It's us. It's the coven. The coven has arrived, baby. Is that what we should name all of our episodes? The coven? Yeah. Maybe.

• 43:45Speaker 08

  Hmm.

• 43:45Bunnie XO?

  I kinda, yeah, maybe. We need a name for it. I feel like Golden Girls is copyrighted. Yeah. You guys know what? Wanna know something that I've been watching? What? Amish witches. You texted the other night. I wanted an explanation. Yeah. Where, when, how? So it's on Hulu and it's a documentary and what they do is they follow these three chicks who are Amish. And they are like, they're into some heavy shit. I'm talking like doing seances. What? Like sucking negative energy out of people, blessing babies, getting them to like not have ear, like healing people.

• 44:24Bunnie XO?

  One of them's grandma was like high up in the witchcraft and like it was passed down to her and she was the sweetest. She had the sweetest soul. Um, and she like really just believed in healing. Then there was a second girl who I don't really know what she kinda did. I think she was kinda like just meddling. And then there was like trying to figure out if that's what she wanted to do. And then there's this third girl who comes in and she's like evil. She wants to fucking like hex everybody and is like, you know, like just evil energy. And they travel with them and, uh, you know. This is real, this is like legit. Oh, it's real. Happening. Real. Got it. Real life. It's not made up. Wow. So they, they, they sit in on a bunch of like spells and like all the stuff that they do.

• 45:08Bunnie XO?

  Well, something happened where they stopped and I'm not, I don't wanna tell you guys, cause I want you to watch the documentary. Yeah. Something happens to where they stop recording with them for three years. And then finally they're allowed three, back three years later. And when they go back, the one who I said was the cute one, who I, who I liked and was sweet. Excommunicated Amish, does not practice witchcraft anymore, looks so good, looks beautiful. Like before when she was like healing people, she looked so like sucked up and like, like she didn't feel good. And she like changed her hair color and just like had so much life back in her.

• 45:38Speaker 07

  Glow up.

• 45:38Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, she was saying that.

• 45:39Speaker 07

  Did she find Jesus Christ?

• 45:41Bunnie XO?

  She did. She was saying that she felt sick all the time and that like, you know, doing that.

• 45:46Speaker 06

  Possessed or some shit.

• 45:47Bunnie XO?

  Yep. Put so much um, bad energy into her life. And then the second girl, same with her, the one who was like meddling. I didn't really know what she was doing there. Um, she changed over too. And then the third one was trying to get out of it, but like during the, the last interview, she's like, talking about how powerful she is still and how she's trying to control her magic. Like it's crazy. You guys gotta watch it.

• 46:10Speaker 06

  I'm watching it.

• 46:11Speaker 07

  On Hulu?

• 46:12Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, on Hulu. Yeah. Amish witches.

• 46:15Speaker 06

  Can't wait.

• 46:15Bunnie XO?

  So we kinda wanted to do something different today, you know, since we're talking about things that are happening on the internet. Um, we get so many comments a day, you know, tons and tons. And yes, we love all the positive comments, but the funny ones are the mean comments.

• 46:36Speaker 07

  Oh.

• 46:37Bunnie XO?

  So.

• 46:38Speaker 06

  Insane. And it mostly comes from Facebook.

• 46:41Bunnie XO?

  I mean, I get it all over the place.

• 46:43Speaker 06

  I mean, yeah, it's all over, but I don't really get a lot on Instagram. Occasionally Instagram.

• 46:47Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 46:48Speaker 06

  I'd say Instagram.

• 46:48Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, Instagram's so nice.

• 46:50Speaker 06

  Unless a reel goes viral.

• 46:52Speaker 07

  That's really what I was gonna say. If a reel pops off, the hate comments.

• 46:56Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 46:57Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 46:58Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, I feel like Instagram is like a pretty pink bubble. Like it's, that's, it's a niche. Like if you have followers, they are specifically there for you.

• 47:05Speaker 07

  And they appreciate what you post. That's all. Like, but Facebook and TikTok, wild west.

• 47:10Bunnie XO?

  Facebook and TikTok, outlaws. They're all fucking outlaws, these motherfuckers.

• 47:14Speaker 07

  Crazy.

• 47:15Bunnie XO?

  Alright, so maybe we'll read one at a time. You guys wanna kick it off?

• 47:18Speaker 07

  Yeah, are we explaining what they're commenting under or just reading the comment?

• 47:22Bunnie XO?

  I'll try to remember, but yeah.

• 47:24Speaker 06

  Yeah. I have one pulled up. So this was, had 1.1 million views with Bunny. It's this one.

• 47:30Bunnie XO?

  Oh God.

• 47:31Speaker 06

  Oh Jesus.

• 47:34Speaker 09

  Beautiful and clear using the roach pussy.

• 47:37Bunnie XO?

  Oh, the roach pussy.

• 47:39Speaker 09

  Roach pussy? No, I don't hear a difference.

• 47:42Bunnie XO?

  Okay, clearly a voice override. So we're not saying that, whatever. It's funny, okay?

• 47:49Bunnie XO?

  Hold on.

• 47:51Bunnie XO?

  We got, um, it's called lots of botox and other shit with 20 pounds of makeup with the filter. No filter, by the way, so that's a compliment. Yeah.

• 48:00Speaker 07

  That's everyone's go to is like, oh, it's a filter.

• 48:02Bunnie XO?

  So much me, blah, blah, blah, don't care. I don't even respond back to these fucking people. It makes the memes go up. I get in trouble all the time.

• 48:10Speaker 07

  You do. I feel like people can insult you, but the minute you reply back and tell them they look like ramen head.

• 48:15Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 48:15Speaker 07

  Then they.

• 48:16Bunnie XO?

  That's, I got literally banned from my Facebook, uh, for 30 days for some fucking dude commenting, some old man. And I said, I said like, Dan, your hair looks like ramen noodles. And got fucking, got banned. What? Yes. Oh, I gotta, I gotta ease up then. Yeah. I normally just say their name. Sometimes I send a picture of them back to them. I hate that. I do that. That's my favorite. That's my, that was my go to.

• 48:42Speaker 07

  Zoom in on their profile picture and comment back.

• 48:44Bunnie XO?

  You can get in trouble. Fugly? Yeah, said, y'all are fugly. Let's go to their profile. All right. Well, we're supposed to do one at a time. You've gone on to three.

• 48:50Speaker 07

  They're in a row.

• 48:51Bunnie XO?

  Okay.

• 48:53Speaker 07

  So all right there.

• 48:54Bunnie XO?

  Mimi, you wanna go?

• 48:55Speaker 07

  All right.

• 48:57Bunnie XO?

  We could do three at a time too, if you want.

• 48:59Speaker 07

  No, that's gonna blow through my mind too quick.

• 49:00Bunnie XO?

  Oh.

• 49:01Speaker 07

  I couldn't find too many.

• 49:02Bunnie XO?

  Good for you, you cunt.

• 49:04Speaker 07

  I don't, I don't like to dive deep in those things. This one, um, I posted a before and after of my weight loss because I'm almost at like 60 pounds gone now and Chris said the Honey Boo Boo show is back. So, thanks, Chris.

• 49:18Bunnie XO?

  And Chris probably looks like a fucking. I would like to see what.

• 49:20Speaker 07

  Chris didn't have a profile picture, guys. I tried.

• 49:22Bunnie XO?

  I was gonna say, Chris probably looks like a human thumb and smells like hard boiled eggs. You know what I'm saying? Like, come on. These fucking people are just insane to me. All right, so there, here's one. This is my favorite because this is everybody's go to. They feel like it's like such a like.

• 49:41Speaker 07

  I'mma get him with this one.

• 49:42Bunnie XO?

  I got her. So it was a video of Jay and I with Snoop Dogg, right?

• 49:47Speaker 07

  Mm-hmm.

• 49:48Bunnie XO?

  This person said Jelly Ho and his sideshow prostitute. Okay.

• 49:55Speaker 07

  Wow.

• 49:56Bunnie XO?

  Good one.

• 49:57Speaker 07

  They really stuck it to you.

• 49:59Bunnie XO?

  Okay, but he spelled prostitute, P R O S T I T U, prostitute.

• 50:06Speaker 07

  Two.

• 50:07Bunnie XO?

  I'm a prostitute, baby. Yeah.

• 50:10Speaker 07

  Oh.

• 50:10Bunnie XO?

  But my thing is, is everybody thinks it's so like cutting edge. That they're like, you know, she used to be a hoe, right? Yeah. She's a prostitute. What a whore. You're a whore. And it's just like, bro, do you not, first of all, before I was even on the internet, I was being called that. Secondly, why are so many men upset about what I used to do with my vagina? Because if they had a chance to hit it, they would. You know what I'm saying?

• 50:35Speaker 07

  That part.

• 50:35Bunnie XO?

  It's like, bro.

• 50:36Speaker 07

  That part.

• 50:36Bunnie XO?

  Please, you could sit here and judge all you want, but knowing damn well that if any of these girls videos that you're commenting negative stuff on, you would fucking cream your pants if they were in your presence.

• 50:49Speaker 07

  Yep. This one said Randy decided when I did a before and after of my green hair to my orange hair to tell me, looking rough. What the heck?

• 50:59Speaker 07

  Randy, I looked at your profile and you don't have all your teeth. I need you to step back a little bit.

• 51:05Bunnie XO?

  Bro, it's always the one with piano keys for teeth.

• 51:08Speaker 07

  He, he's having trouble.

• 51:10Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 51:10Speaker 07

  Having trouble. Not wanting to talk about teeth.

• 51:12Bunnie XO?

  Yeah, not that we're hating on anybody with teeth, but if you can't, listen, if you say something rude to somebody on the internet, because I've gotten this before, people get so mad at me. They're like, why are you lowering yourself to their level? Because I fucking can.

• 51:25Speaker 07

  That's the only playing field they want to be on because they can't get to mine.

• 51:28Bunnie XO?

  I'm on such a different frequency, they can't hear me unless I lower myself to theirs. You know what I'm saying?

• 51:33Speaker 07

  That's so good.

• 51:34Bunnie XO?

  I'm gonna take the time to smose on down the line, baby. And guess what? And if I fucking say something, you're gonna remember it for the rest of your life. I told some lady she looked like a fucking basset hound one day. Today I have one of my girls here and I'm so happy to finally sit down with her. This has been a long time coming. Yeah. She has a great story. I can't wait for you guys to hear it. I can't wait to hear it. Dani Sylvester in the house, baby. Hi, everybody. It's nice to be here. I'm so excited. It's.

• 52:03Speaker 10

  Finally here.

• 52:05Bunnie XO?

  It's seriously, she was supposed to come on the podcast a couple of weeks ago, but I fucking got the neurovirus for eating some oysters.

• 52:11Speaker 10

  Oh, it was some oysters?

• 52:13Bunnie XO?

  I'm assuming, but I'm telling you, I've only gotten sick, I've been eating oysters my whole life. I've only gotten sick off oysters twice and that neurovirus was the second time. And I didn't know that oysters caused fucking neurovirus until, and then I felt so much better though, because you're like, I've had this, it's all right, I get it. And I'm like, how long did it last?

• 52:33Speaker 10

  Yeah, I'm like, oh God, it was awful. It ran through our house. Our whole entire house had it. And then unfortunately, we gave it to one of our kittens.

• 52:41Bunnie XO?

  Yeah. And when you told me that, I was like, oh, because Chachi had been laying with me the whole time. So I was like, oh my God, I hope this fucking dog does not ever feel like I did.

• 52:49Speaker 10

  Look at him.

• 52:50Bunnie XO?

  Yeah. This is why we tell him we're going to work because he's literally grown up sitting here.

• 52:55Speaker 10

  I know. I love him.

• 52:56Bunnie XO?

  No, he's the best.

• 52:57Speaker 10

  I'm a big fan of his.

• 52:58Bunnie XO?

  Oh, he's the best. I'm so happy that you're here because I stumbled upon you probably like two years ago.

• 53:06Speaker 10

  Yeah.

• 53:06Bunnie XO?

  And I was like, who is this beautiful beast? I was like, she is so gorgeous. But not only that, like, I just love that, you know, you're married to Tina, you guys are very, you know, like, hey, this is.

Follow and listen to the We Do Not Care Club Podcast with Melanie Sanders wherever you get your podcasts.

• 53:48Bunnie XO?

  Our relationship, this is who we are. If you don't like us, we don't give a fuck. You know, because TikTok can be so fucking brutal. And then I also love the relationship with your daughter, too. I think it's just amazing. And so I would like to learn a little bit about you.

• 54:04Speaker 10

  Oh, okay.

• 54:05Bunnie XO?

  Were you close with your mom?

• 54:09Speaker 10

  Growing up, I developed this um

• 54:15Speaker 10

  this

• 54:18Speaker 10

  type of, I don't know how to really explain it. So my mom was very physically abusive.

• 54:22Bunnie XO?

  Oh.

• 54:23Speaker 10

  Verbally abusive and

• 54:25Bunnie XO?

  To all five of you or just you?

• 54:26Speaker 10

  All of us, all of us, all of us. And as a white woman in Maryland, having biracial children and friends like not accepting her because she has black children and the black community not accepting her because she's white. It just was really hard for her. So I don't think that she knew how to navigate those emotions and feelings. So she took it out on us. Mom, I'm sorry if you are hearing this because I know we are in a better place today. So this is just

• 54:53Bunnie XO?

  I think it paints a picture of the journey though also of like the growth and we'll get to that point with your mom too. But I mean, what happened in the past is

• 55:00Speaker 10

  When we talk about um how we are today, it's just we're better. But it took a long time for us to get here. It's there was a lot of times where social services were called because we're dirty, we're not fed well. Um, she was a white woman, didn't know how to take care of, you know, mixed children's hair. So we went to school with our hair nappy. Sometimes we went to school with cat pee and cat poop on our, our clothing and

• 55:29Bunnie XO?

  Was she always gone because she was working too?

• 55:31Speaker 10

  She worked a lot. It worked a lot. But whenever social services came, I feel like I'm like all over the place, not like telling in the story.

• 55:39Bunnie XO?

  No, you're okay. You're good. You're painting a picture.

• 55:40Speaker 10

  Whenever social services would come, we would run, we would hide. And that is where the question of, did you have like a great relationship with your mom comes in? It's like, I don't know if it was a great relationship. I just knew my loyalty lied to her. I, it doesn't matter how often she beat us, how often she said horrible things to us, how often we didn't eat. I still loved my mom. Like in my eyes, she was God to me.

• 56:10Bunnie XO?

  She was all you knew.

• 56:11Speaker 10

  She was all, me and my siblings and my mom were all we knew at that time. Because the outside world didn't accept us as off, I mean, they didn't accept us as much as I would like to. Say that they did, but.

• 56:23Bunnie XO?

  Was there segregation, is that the right word, in Maryland during that time?

• 56:29Speaker 10

  I don't necessarily want to say that was segregation. I think that was a lack of insight when people's upbringing. I think that, um, like we, I went to school with white kids, Asians and, and black kids. But being mixed was a different world because you didn't know exactly where you fit.

• 56:51Bunnie XO?

  Where you belonged.

• 56:52Speaker 10

  It's, the black kids knew exactly who they were, their upbringing, how to do their hair, how to dress, how to speak. White kids knew exactly what to do in the same, um, same elements. But when it came to me, I was like, okay, I have a single white mom raising me the best that she can, and I lack this part of my identity. And it was har- it was hard.

• 57:20Bunnie XO?

  Did you ever get to meet your dad? Or did you know who your dad was?

• 57:23Speaker 10

  Yeah, so I did get to meet my ba- my dad a few times. And, um, when I was younger. And every time I interacted with him, it was just chaotic. My mom, my mom has told us horrible stories about my dad. And then when we met him, we were terrified.

• 57:47Bunnie XO?

  No.

• 57:47Speaker 10

  We were, we were scared. We were like, oh, my God, he's gonna, he's gonna kill us. Uh, he's gonna beat the shit out of you. Um, we were told at one point that my dad tried to assassinate us. And that's why, um, we, we left or she moved. And it was just, it was very chaotic. And then.

• 58:07Bunnie XO?

  It's just hu- hurtful for parents to lay that on their kids' shoulders at such a young age.

• 58:13Speaker 10

  And that is why I am the parent that I am when it comes to talking shit about my child's father.

• 58:20Bunnie XO?

  Yeah.

• 58:20Speaker 10

  I, now that I'm a little older, I, I mean, she's a little older. We can have honest conversations because she's dealing with the adult version of him.

• 58:30Bunnie XO?

  Right.

• 58:31Speaker 10

  Um, but growing up, I did not tell her shit.

• 58:38Bunnie XO?

  We use Shopify for our storefront at bunnyxo.com. And one thing I've learned from running an online store is that you definitely don't have to be an ecommerce expert to get started. I think a lot of people get intimidated by the website side of starting a business, but Shopify makes that part so much easier. One of my favorite things is having everything in one place when you're running a business. You already have a million things going on, so the last thing you want is for managing your storefront to be one more thing to stress about. Shopify makes it easy to get your store launched, manage it, and actually focus on selling. They also have pre-built themes and an AI site builder that can help you create a professional looking storefront without having to build a website from scratch. And if a friend asks me about starting a store before the holidays, I tell them, "Don't wait until Black Friday.
