Naiya: [00:00:00] You look like Edna Mode with those glasses. Who is Edna Mode? And Edna Mode from Incredibles? No, scoot back in this way. 

Dana: Who's that? 

Naiya: This podcast so that people think that we have a perfect mother-daughter relationship. 

Dana: Because, because we don't, we not, we don't. 

Naiya: Like I'm telling you right now, we definitely do not.

Naiya: Didn't we argue like 10 minutes before? No. Cause I. Anyways, we will not talk about how we argued, but how we were little. No, it happens every time we start recording. Like we just get on each other's nerves. Like she always has something 

Dana: to say about something. I think we both have nervous energy and No, I'm not nervous at all.

Dana: You 

Naiya: just kind of get 

Dana: on my nerves. Oh, well I was nervous. You were nervous. Nervous. I mean, this is, this is new. I feel very vulnerable. Like, yeah. Um, my generation, we did not grow up in front of the 

Naiya: camera. No, it's been a lot. [00:01:00] Took 

Dana: a lot. Now you pull out a Polaroid, I'm like, girl, ow. Ow. But it's like I see the camera and I'm like, why do you need an app to tell you to be real?

Dana: Why can't you not be real on Facebook? I'm trying to explain to you what be real is. Just clap and talk because I'm trying to tell you no, because those are fighting words. Like those are fighting words when you talk in. Then Yes. Oh my 

Naiya: God. Yeah. We both know my biggest fear is rejection. Mm-hmm. And like failure.

Naiya: But literally, I will remember in high school, I'll be like talking to guys and we'll text instead of writing it down on a piece of paper, like we'll snap it. But I will say the beauty of Snapchat, it disappears. It disappears after you send it. So you send it, and then if they open it and you go back in, it's still there.

Naiya: But if they go back out, it's complicated. But if they go back out and if you both exit the chat, it's gone. Godfather told me that Snapchat is for freaks. He shouldn't be on Snapchat. If I was like godfather, dear God, he would know. But he would. He would know. He would know. Like [00:02:00] you could just deny yourself.

Naiya: No, I'm also, millennials want to be us so bad and that's a thing that I have to do. What? Swear. Why? They literally, because I think millennials have like this weird thing with their youth and they just wanna hold onto it and it's a weirdest thing. But they are young or they're like they are, but they wanna be like TikTok in and wearing.

Naiya: Gen Xers, smiley faces and crap. Gen Xers, 

Dana: TikTok. 

Naiya: No, I, no, I know, but they want like Gen Xers, TikTok like Gen Xers. Millennials. No, there's this thing I'm about to educate you. This has nothing to do with dating, but listen, I'm gonna talk to the camera real quick. This is for all the people who are my age, the millennial.

Naiya: Pause. I say no more. Do you know what that is? No. Oh my God. I'm taking over just a little bit. The millennial pause every time they take start a video. On, um, TikTok. Mm-hmm. They'll start recording. They'll go like this, like watch, they'll go like this. So today, and they start like talking two seconds after it started recording.

Naiya: Whereas like, [00:03:00] millennials, I'll start a and be like, I'll be like, okay, hey guys, like, da da da da da. Like, I'm talking right now. It's a thing. The millennial paw is a, that thing is weird and we, that's how we can spot a millennial like a mile away. The millennial. They will sit there and look at you in the camera for two to three seconds before they say anything and we're like, speed it up.

Naiya: What are you doing? Yeah, probably. I'm in the generation where we eat Tide Pods. I love us so much, but we do dumb things 

Dana: dealership. Okay. We got like 40 minutes. You don't have to be there till four. Yeah, but long you time to get there, like 20 minutes. Okay. You said, so we got a hold game here. Now 

Naiya: we are gonna have to scooch in just a tad bit.

Naiya: Okay. Can you, yeah. Okay. Make sure your guys' mics are nice and in between you guys. You want 

Dana: this on, on camera? No, I'm just asking. You're not gonna want to, let me check how I look real quick. Can I keep my hand on the table over there? I can [00:04:00] go like this. It's up to. But just remember that is so beautiful.

Dana: I don't understand, you know, people are gonna just see 

Naiya: everything. No, I'm not a narcissist. 

Dana: Not even a little bit of mic. Just a little bit. Just, we've done it a couple times a day. Okay. 

Naiya: I kinda wanna 

Dana: bite the mic, I'm be honest. Bite the mic. Don't bite. Don't 

Naiya: bite the mic. She paid for it. Let's 

Dana: go elbow.

Dana: Let's go Pay for it. Rush. Let's do this. What doing? Don't rush us. Don't do that. You can't rush. Are we gonna start? Oh my God. Do you want me to do it or would you, let's say Happy New Year, all of us. We can say only count three. Happy New Year. And then we'll say, um, welcome back to, it's a 

Naiya: big smile. Listen, 

Dana: listen.

Dana: We're gonna say count three. We're gonna say Happy New Year. 

Naiya: Okay. And then, 

Dana: Can you spit that gum out? Yeah. You don't need to be having, and you too, too loud. And you too loud. Way too loud. People loud. That's fine. Just that's so on the count of three. Happy New [00:05:00] Year. Okay. And then we'll say, welcome back to McKnights and Magnolia.

Naiya: I'm just gonna say Happy New Year and then you guys say the 1 1 2. Happy New Year. Okay. 1, 2, 3. Happy New Year on 3 1 2.

Naiya: Happy New Year. No, 2, 2, 3. So

Dana: two. That's the shit can put in there. Three. There are four. Stop y'all. Ready? Let's go. Come on Leah. All one. One. 2, 2, 3. How? 

Naiya: How Tati. Sees that Instagram story about James promoting sugar bear hair and does not like it.

Naiya: Imagine if your best friend promoted another mother-daughter podcast before [00:06:00] they promoted us. Oh, like 

Dana: it's gonna be some slope, right? That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Period. Period. 

Naiya: No. Literally 

Dana: though, like, think about it. I know. Oh, that is, that's, that's messed up. That's grounds for divorce. That's grounds for a fight.

Dana: We're divorcing this friendship. 

Naiya: Mm-hmm. Promise you, I can promise you that. I know. And especially with the level of followers that James Charles has. So how many followers, followers 

Dana: does he have now? Yeah. Let's see.

Naiya: Somewhere in the millions. Oh, that's good. 22 million. 

Dana: 22 million. 22 million. That's a lot of 

Naiya: people like imagine if that's like our friend had 22 million followers and didn't promote us on there and promoted someone else. I 

Dana: can't even get that far. I'm still thinking about the 22 million. 22 million. Some countries don't have 22 million.

Dana: Swear No, I swear. So I'm like, where do 

Naiya: these people come from? He's been getting like a little [00:07:00] bit of filler lately. He does not look the same at all whatsoever. I mean, 

Dana: do you? 

Naiya: That's so true. Who are we to talk about filler Botox? I feel attacked. So anyways, 

Dana: back to like a personal 

Naiya: dig. So anyway, so TTI is p 

Dana: o.

Dana: Do I need filler? Do I need a little bit under the eyes? 

Naiya: Oh, end of that, because then Shane Dawson started calling Tati a liar. Okay? And all this. 

Dana: Who is Shane Dawson and how does he fit into the, is it a throuple or is it a 

Naiya: quadruple, don't say throuple. Why? Throuple is usually used in terms of, um, a three person marriage and a three person, like sex paints.

Dana: No. Yeah. 

Naiya: So when I use, but you Google what is 

Dana: a throuple? Well, when I say th. [00:08:00] It could be like me, Lydia, and someone else. No, just, no. That's really all like, it's a joke. Like, I mean, it jokingly like, not like we're really not a couple, or like if me, you and Erica went somewhere, we'd be, no, we'd be a throuple.

Dana: Like I didn't, I didn't put a sexual, when I say it, it doesn't have a sexual connotation to it. I know, but that's what it 

Naiya: means. Okay, so Throuple is asexual. It's like 

Dana: noted. Yes. Okay. So my, don't forget that. Okay. Thank you. Don't ever call, 

Naiya: put me in a thum with you and Erica ever again. Okay. 

Dana: Okay. No offenses, Erica.

Dana: Oh my God, you're so dramatic. Okay, so how does Shane fit into, what are the names? James Charles. Mm-hmm. 

Naiya: Tati West. 

Dana: Tati Westbrook. And then who's the other person? Nikita Dragon. Okay. Nikita Dragon. So, so Nikita Dragon is off with, she's Breman Rock somewhere. So she's out of this 

Naiya: because the only reason why she's really involved is because she [00:09:00] tweeted out the text that James sent to her being like, the only reason why he posted sugar rare hair was because 

Dana: then you.

Dana: I had a Jerry Curl. And braces. And braces at the same. At the same damn time. Dude, that's brutal. It was so awful. I needed all the help that I could get. And then Aunt Terry have bought me these white Evan Pecon cowboy boots. Okay. That had fringe 

Naiya: get out of my face. You could not tell me. Now I know your wife 

Dana: Fringe is your favorite thing.

Dana: I thought I was the bomb. Like if we didn't go to the. And see your crush. Mm-hmm. I would get up and go to the pencil sharpener 15 times. No. Yeah. When we were in school, the pencil sharpener was attached to the wall, so was ours. Really? 

Naiya: Yeah. Are you talking about the one that you go like this and then it has like little holes in it?

Naiya: The holes? You have to change it. Change it? Yes. 

Dana: Yeah, we still have those. I would get up and go to the pencil sharpener so many times that the teacher was like, okay, Ms. Baysmore, get up one more time. Like you would get in trouble. I would get in trouble because I was like, oh, he's [00:10:00] gonna see. 

Naiya: And you got called out by the teacher and I got called out by like, everyone's already looking at you.

Naiya: Please. Yes. Okay. 

Dana: I'm sorry. Right. I had to do something because my Jerry Curl wasn't even a juicy Jerry Curl. It was dry. That's so unfortunate. Did I mention I was in the band? Yeah. 

Naiya: You really had 

Dana: No, it was the trifecta of the worst things that could happen in middle school. Jerry, curl, 

Naiya: braces, clarinet, puberty, acne.

Naiya: What else did you have? Because you really had all the odds against you at that time. Like middle school was not your 

Dana: prime. No, and I'm four 11. Short. It was just awful. How do you guys flirt? 

Naiya: This is bringing me back to middle school. 

Dana: How do you flirt on Snapchat? Or how do you Oh my God. Do 

Naiya: you flirt on Snapchat?

Naiya: Yeah, you definitely do flirt on 

Dana: Snapchat. You'll with feelings a lot of times with drugs and alcohol and sex. Oh no. 100%. And. 

Naiya: Like she's definitely had some trauma. Hey, she, well, I don't know her personally. Right Cuz I was like, 

Dana: because you hang out with her. Yeah. [00:11:00] My girl girl. Fine. She's girl Tana. She's totally fine.

Dana: Yeah. Like I said, let's hope and she's, because that whole story, she's a good person. 

Naiya: How do you know? Well, I feel like, I know she's seems 

Dana: Google Tana Mojo. That doesn't mean what it's gonna say. Tana Mojo is a good person. No, Google Tana, but that's my point. I don't need to, I don't need to Google her. You 

Naiya: can see the innocence in her 

Dana: eyes.

Dana: Naia. Jeffrey Dahmer looked innocent. No, the heck he did not. Ted Bundy, no. The heck, he did not look, oh, he was fine. I'd never thought, 

Naiya: thought that Ted Bundy was hot. I mean, he was a good looking guy, but I'm just saying you can't, like they, those men look like they would kill 

Dana: people. That's because you know that they were serial killers.

Dana: No, but they were so prolific. You, they were so prolific because they didn't look like your stereotypical serial killer. But my point is, you can't look at someone and say, 

Naiya: insert picture of Jeffrey Dahmer, 

Dana: please. You can't look at someone's picture and say, oh, she looks like a good person. She looks, look at, they see a dragon did.

Dana: Would you ever think that 

Naiya: she was in. [00:12:00] I said she was pretty. Yeah, she went to jail. Girl. 

Dana: Do you know how many pretty girls go to jail? 

Naiya: I know they put her in men's jail. 

Dana: I mean, listen. Listen. I think there are tons of pretty girls in jail. It's not like only ugly people go to jail. Swear, I would say so.

Dana: It's like, yes, I swear. Look at her and ugly. Yeah, she's probably been to jail because it's not just like the jail isn't filled with just ugly people. And then whose idea of ugly are we basing this off? You're 

Naiya: again, you're just going way too. I'm just saying it's like if you're ugly, you're ugly. There's just But in whose eyes?

Naiya: Who's saying mine? I'm always right. If you're ugly, you're ugly. Like we're not ugly. 

Dana: I can tell you that. Your attitude is ugly right now.

Naiya: Okay. You keep sneezing. I keep yaw. All right. 

Dana: Wrap it up. Wrap it up. So just be like, and mom, 

Naiya: throw it back to first 

Dana: step. Oh my God. Ooh,
