Edward Fultz [00:00:25]:
Ms. Brown. Ms. Brown. How are you doing this morning? Ms. Brown.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:00:29]:
I'm actually good. I went on podcast. Wow. I went on Clubhouse this morning, and I got to speak. I got to get on a stage and speak, so that was pretty cool.

Edward Fultz [00:00:40]:
I'm so glad we're doing this. Ms. Brown the first episode, it's funny. We have a lot of podcast related conversations, just us talking over the last, what, six plus years that we've known each other. So this is good that we're actually recording one. I think I would like to hear myself talk sometimes, and you as well. And if people want to tune in, great. If they don't, great, too.

Edward Fultz [00:01:04]:
This is all just about funding conversation. I love it. I love the name Common Nomad.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:01:10]:
Yes. We didn't do a proper introduction.

Edward Fultz [00:01:14]:
This is right here.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:01:15]:
This is well, good morning. Good afternoon, good evening. Wherever you're listening from, whatever time you're listening from, I'm Priscilla. I'm Edward, and this is the common nomads podcast.

Edward Fultz [00:01:27]:
Okay. Okay. So what do you want this to be about? The common? Nomad. Let's talk to them and say why we came up with that name.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:01:34]:
Why am I nervous? This is ghetto. All right, so definitely how like you said, our friendships have so for those that are listening, our friendship has mainly been long distance. So we only see each other maybe twice every three years, if that. If that so I think that's very unique to a lot of friendships, because I think most people have friends that live in the same city, country, state. So that makes some of a theme into our title, Common Nomads. We're going to talk about culture, identity.

Edward Fultz [00:02:21]:
We're going to everything, life, things that go on, our personal life in regards to things that we come across. Like I said, we both are unique lives. Like I said, I do travel as well, but traveling is another it's actually like an adjective when you talk to Priscilla.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:02:41]:
It doesn't have to be all of that, though. It really doesn't. I travel. You got a chill. I got two.

Edward Fultz [00:02:50]:
Okay. You got two. All right. And you got how many stamps in each?

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:02:54]:
I just got the second one.

Edward Fultz [00:02:56]:
That's neither here nor there, but yeah, I'm happy we're doing this. I'm happy. Everything's hard nowadays, especially to have friendships, have friendships in general, but to have one, we don't really see the person physically is all via WhatsApp? Via FaceTime? Via text, of course, social media, if.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:03:21]:
We'Re following each other or if we.

Edward Fultz [00:03:22]:
Have social media, which social media? I'm not a big social media person at all, so we probably have two comments or two likes over the six year friendship of our I'm not I delete social media. I don't have it. And that's not our friendship. And maybe that's another point we should talk about. Like, our friendship is not on social media basis. So when people think about long distance, friendships. Oh, yeah. I want to check in with my friend in St.

Edward Fultz [00:03:46]:
Louis, how's he doing? And they just check their pictures. We don't do that, actually. Call you, text you. And like I said, you have had different numbers. Let's not get into the numbers she has had over the last two years. Not in the mention of six years.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:04:01]:
But in one year, I've had two or three.

Edward Fultz [00:04:06]:
I think I believe it, I know it. I save all of them. I probably have. When I hit Priscilla, it's like seven numbers. Like office, work, mobile, fax, email.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:04:15]:
Are you keeping them to archive?

Edward Fultz [00:04:20]:
Archive is a strong word, but I don't feel a need to delete them.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:04:25]:
But they're not going to work. Beloved.

Edward Fultz [00:04:28]:
It's not a matter of functionality, it's a matter of aesthetics. I'm like, wow, I actually know Priscilla from, like, eight numbers ago. And it feels good to say that.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:04:35]:
You know what? You're saying something there, actually.

Edward Fultz [00:04:38]:
Yeah. Recorded or wait, we are relaxed.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:04:45]:
Relax. You've had the same number. You lived in a couple of cities. You've been to a couple of places. I've been to a lot in a city that neither of us lived in.

Edward Fultz [00:04:58]:
This is true. Can we back up? I've been to more than a couple of places now. I do travel a lot as well.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:05:06]:
No, that was not in a country.

Edward Fultz [00:05:10]:
Respect to my name, this couple aspect.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:05:13]:
You've been to several countries, several cities, several best world.

Edward Fultz [00:05:18]:
That's a great word. Keep going.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:05:20]:
Several. Got it. Cool. And do you want to give them a rundown of how many places you've been to or that's unnecessary.

Edward Fultz [00:05:32]:
Tomato, tomato, tobacco, tabasco. Tabasco. We don't have to do a rundown categorical list. Let's just say you don't got to.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:05:40]:
Show them the whole itinerary.

Edward Fultz [00:05:42]:
But I've been to several places. You have been to a lot more.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:05:46]:
But why are you comparing to me? It doesn't have to be on my.

Edward Fultz [00:05:49]:
Life, because that's the testament of our friendship. You literally been in countries of longer than three months periods of time, and we have stayed connected, I think. Let's give us a round of applause for that. I mean, come on, let's do the thing.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:06:03]:
You could clap, but I don't really see you know what it is, though. I always knew I was going to be a traveler, and it just stemmed from my parents, where we used to take road trips. Right. Like, before the world of GPS and turn right and turn left in 300ft road trips was a thing. So I think that's my small pocket of being exposed to, okay, I'm not just going to be born and raised in New York City and not know what Jersey looks like, not know what Connecticut looks like.

Edward Fultz [00:06:33]:
We all know what train chuck in York. Yes. Okay.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:06:38]:
Every time. I think that kind of helped. And I also just think life experiences, of course, and family, having family in different places is definitely an easier reason to go and travel because you can always meet them there. So, yeah, I think traveling is something I did and I think as I got older, I do recognize that this is a privileged statement that I'm about to say. Traveling for me is somewhat of a coping mechanism.

Edward Fultz [00:07:07]:
No, it's definitely privilege. I'm happy you recognize that because traveling requires what? Time, money, opportunity.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:07:14]:
Yeah.

Edward Fultz [00:07:14]:
And as we know, especially in our culture, not a lot of people have those three things. Definitely not time, we ain't going to talk about the money. And the biggest thing is opportunity. You have to plan to travel. I'm not a big planner travel. I'm the ones who buy their ticket the day of the week of, depending where I'm going. It was like back home to Atlanta. I usually buy my tickets the night of.

Edward Fultz [00:07:40]:
Angela, hey, I'll pay the extra fifty dollars to eighty dollars because it's home.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:07:44]:
Heard you. I'm not even there yet. As many times as I have traveled, I've done a few spontaneous trips. Yes, I have. But now I definitely do plan. Actually even in me coming back, I bought it on a short notice. Okay, we're going to recant that. I have done some last minute purchasing of tickets, but I think this year 2022.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:08:09]:
I don't really think I'm going to travel so much, but we'll see. What about you? Any traveling plans for next year?

Edward Fultz [00:08:17]:
Oh, definitely still exploring the world. People are talking about going to the Appalachian Mountains for New Year's. I don't know what's going 2022. People are talking about Paris, France for Valentine's Day, something like that. Something like that. So I don't know. Like I said, I'm fortunate that I like traveling and also fortunate that I can financially equip myself to travel in different places. But also this is my opinion, and of course, depending on how you like to travel, I can plan traveling and still be prepared to travel within that two to three week span.

Edward Fultz [00:08:59]:
Some people need a month or two months, know, pack their bag and just to have their mindset ready. Me are we going to Vegas this weekend? I got you. I'll be there. But I noticed when you start dealing with individuals, especially in relationships, and when you start having family and kids, you can't move like that no more, despite how you're used to. You have to plan travel more. Know, when I travel by myself, oh, I'm good to go. Hey, I got my bag, my carry on. TSA knows me.

Edward Fultz [00:09:27]:
You know what I'm trying to say? They know me. Hey, yo, Rick, how you feel?

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:09:32]:
Me?

Edward Fultz [00:09:32]:
Yeah, what do you rick.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:09:36]:
Yeah, I also you know what, though? I think people need to understand that traveling is not that expensive. I don't think people believe it for themselves. If you can purchase an iPhone, you can afford to travel. I'm going to say that one more time. If you can purchase an iPhone or a smartphone in this 2021, you can afford to travel. It might just be a financial illiteracy thing, but you can afford to travel. And a little gem, I don't be staying at five star hotels. Like I'm not doing pick and Ritz Carlton when I travel.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:10:16]:
So I don't think people need to fall for that okie doke. Whereby traveling is so expensive. You need to keep up with the Joneses. It's not necessary to be true.

Edward Fultz [00:10:26]:
True. But yeah, that's the foundation of our friendship. And I actually love it because, like you mentioned, different space. We have both lost friends over the last since birth. You lose friends due to relocation mostly, but also interests have changed alignments when you get to higher levels of your education or your career or just your change numbers.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:10:53]:
Like me, you don't hear from certain people, reach out. Yeah, and I recognize that too.

Edward Fultz [00:10:58]:
Yeah. You tend to outgrow people. But I think our friendship we have brown together. I'm going to say it one more time. You want to repeat yourself? I think through our friendship, we are grown together as a man, as a woman, purely platonic. Everything is a beautiful thing. You want to speak on it? You want to say something?

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:11:22]:
Yeah. I think people need to understand that this is strictly platonic. And I think people need to understand that it's very possible to be friends no matter where you go. A lot of people fall into this out of sight, out of mind. I wouldn't be cheesy and say abscess makes a heart growth. Fonder. Like, I'm not one of those people, but I also just think that it's effort. Right.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:11:45]:
I have friends who live in London. I have friends who live in Ghana. I had a friend that lived in time zones. Yes, they are a thing, but it's all about effort and wanting to make that consistent effort in the friendship, which speaks to us like, you met me in one city and then I think a couple of months after I was living in a different country and we still spoke throughout that time. Right. And growing. Yeah. I think we've had hiccups in our friendships, and I would say mostly on my end because I think I was having expectations that I wasn't necessarily articulating.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:12:28]:
And also having expectations is very much different from having standards in friendships. I do think that people need to have standards and friendships, but because we honestly talked and there was none of that, like, I expect you to do this until we went into our friendship for years. That's when it was like, okay, you don't like this, I don't like when you say that, and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Edward Fultz [00:12:54]:
Every relationship and relationship regards to family, friends and romantic, you go through ups and downs. You're not a real friend unless we've been through something. That's always my definition. Like my best friends in the world. We all been through something, really. My guy friends, and no blood has been shed. We ain't best friends. Maybe that's a little pushing it, but I've definitely taken a couple of licks from my friends.

Edward Fultz [00:13:18]:
And when I say blood, meaning physically and mentally, emotionally, if you ever have those dark times, those sad moments, those tragic events in regards to your mental stability, then, yeah, you're not friend friends. I'm sorry. Friends. You got to be my friend through the ups and downs, and there will be downs as we know we're humans. I'm going to mess up. I'm going to make a mistake I'm not too big on. There's something we can go dive deeper into. It about making the same mistake twice, and that means you're, quote, unquote, a bad person.

Edward Fultz [00:13:53]:
You didn't learn. I'm not too strict about that. I keep hearing that lately, too, that when you make a mistake, someone has told you, or you learn individually about the mistake, and you say, I'll do better next time. Unfortunately, seven months go by, you make the same mistake again. Casually now. Oh, I already told you once now you're a bad person. I don't know. I don't need to be that strict because I can make the same mistake in a different way.

Edward Fultz [00:14:22]:
Go ahead.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:14:22]:
Is that being said to you or that's just coming up in conversation?

Edward Fultz [00:14:26]:
Yes, said to me. If I make a mistake, I rectify it for a couple of months, and accidentally I go back to mistake, regardless of why I did it. So much going on. Is there something and a dang, my bad, I messed up. I don't know. I think growth is an ongoing thing, but growth is not exponential. It's like the stock market, the line you go up, go down. It's not linear at all.

Edward Fultz [00:14:52]:
And the expectations of you being a perfect friend is unrealistic, I think.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:15:00]:
Yes, because perfect is hyperbolic. So these things that your friends are calling you out on that are the same mistakes, are these things that are very near and dear to them? Because I'm also thinking at the same time, they might need to extend some grace to you. But I'm not saying that to choose sides. I'm saying that as yes. Usually the common thing is if someone continues to repeat themselves, it often shows that the other person is not receiving what's being said.

Edward Fultz [00:15:45]:
And that's a fair point.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:15:46]:
Yeah. And what's being repeated may seem to be something that's very important to the other person that maybe you haven't understood entirely or you don't get why this thing seems to be something that they keep reminding me not to do. At the same time, on the other hand, or on the contrary, there needs to be a bit of grace extended, because you just said right now that you wouldn't be so willing to cut somebody off if they made the same mistake several times. So that's probably something that needs to be weighed.

Edward Fultz [00:16:21]:
Yeah, I know. Everybody has their limits. Everybody has their breaking points. And I just can't be friends or romantically involved with someone who does that. And I get it, and that's what I'm saying today. You got to make sure everybody's happy, have good cohesiveness within themselves to say that and to go around that I mentioned that saying because like you said, in our friendship, we have had those ups and downs. We have moments where we both cried on the phone in regards to our love life or just professional development, family examples, and there's no controlling that either. I'm going to pick up the phone when you call me or I'm going to call you right back or whatever.

Edward Fultz [00:17:08]:
We got to be there for each other and that's just you and I. But in general, friendship is a priority and either you value it or you don't. And like I said, we're all busy. We all got to go to work or make money somehow where you make money. We all quote, unquote, have gotten education and went to school. So we all have some forms of scheduling classes and we all doing something on the side, like whether it's a podcast, sports, church, and church. I want you on the side because church should be the embodiment of everything in regards to God. But we got to try our best.

Edward Fultz [00:17:50]:
I don't like these strict lines of human development. That's something I noticed a lot by myself. This is how you should be a human. This is it. This is it. And it's just very linear and very strict. And we're very freedom creatures. Like, we're in flux all the time, especially when our circumstances change or we receive new information or we're a new environment.

Edward Fultz [00:18:12]:
We're going to adapt to the environment. Regarding the environment, it's a big one, like a school change or a small one going to a gathering with people you don't know. We don't have mixed feelings about it.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:18:23]:
Yeah. Life is constantly about adjusting. I think people need to ask themselves if they are willing to adjust to everything or just the things that make them feel comfortable. That is something that I think people really need to ask themselves whether it be in friendship, whether it be in career, whether it be in love life. Are you willing to only adjust to the things that are convenient for you or are you willing to adjust to everything?

Edward Fultz [00:18:52]:
So to be more specific, do you want to talk about some encounters of our friendship? I think people need to understand what friendships are really like and it's not all what's the say nowadays? Pinks and peaches and roses. What's the slogan? I'm sorry, I don't know.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:19:10]:
Not everything is glitz and glam. Not everything is peachy keen.

Edward Fultz [00:19:17]:
You want to talk about the things you mentioned to me, how I could be a better friend and hopefully I've adjusted on those things.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:19:22]:
What I do want to talk about.

Edward Fultz [00:19:24]:
Is talk about it, then say with your chest, though.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:19:27]:
I'm going to say with my whole chest. I was thinking, and I feel that when I was in London, I wasn't that good of a friend, and I don't think I've said that to you. In retrospect, I think I had a lot going on that also caused me to adjust, and I don't know how well I was adjusting ping on that.

Edward Fultz [00:19:54]:
And me knowing you had a lot going on. We could talk about this on the part, on the second analysis of what you about to say. What's my role to you when I know you have a lot going on. So I know, quote, unquote, you can't be the best friend to me, but as a friend, knowing you got a lot going on, how did I respond to that then? You can talk about that in your second part of your analysis. Go ahead.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:20:16]:
I think at that time, I just needed a lot of listening ears. I don't think I needed any, you.

Edward Fultz [00:20:24]:
Know, that's my struggle. Boy, when people vent to me versus advice.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:20:27]:
Right. And I think it was after London that I realized, oh, okay, because you're very logical. It's very action oriented, very results driven, very problem solver, which I am logical, too. I'm probably too logical to a fault. At the same time, there's a part of me that I know immediately, most people just want to be heard about what is going on. They just want to be able to get it out. And I think a lot of my situations were frustrations. That's all that it was.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:21:02]:
I was getting my masters, I was in a different country, and the weather, the environment, the food, everything was just constant adjustment all the time. And I think this was when this was your last year of law school, right?

Edward Fultz [00:21:21]:
What year was this? I know the years. What year?

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:21:23]:
2018. 2019? Yeah.

Edward Fultz [00:21:25]:
It was second year. Second year. I graduated 2019. 2020 was my second year of law school.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:21:31]:
Okay, so then I want to say more of 2019. I think you had this really big moment. I think you were trying to tell me about, and I don't remember what it was, but I remember I had a moment. I think you were having, like a big milestone or an achievement. You went to an event or something, I don't recall. So I just think, like, I remember that day because you were trying to tell me something good was happening, and I just was in this complete rut of what? Oh, this is how my life is going, because you said something along the lines of, I know you're going through a lot right now, but I just wanted to share, or I didn't know if I could share with you because you said something along the lines of that. That's what kind of eluded me to think, like, because normally I can push my crap aside and be happy for people. I don't really think I'm a jealous person.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:22:23]:
I think my friend's happiness and other people's happiness truly does make me happy. It doesn't take anything from me at the end of the day, but because I was so deep into my crap, I felt like, oh, man, it's a great moment for him, and I can't get out of my rut.

Edward Fultz [00:22:43]:
What was my disclaimer? You said, I know you go.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:22:45]:
You said something along the lines of, like, you knew that I was going through a lot, so you didn't know if you should share the news with me.

Edward Fultz [00:22:52]:
And that hit you?

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:22:54]:
In retrospect, yes. In the moment, it probably was like.

Edward Fultz [00:22:59]:
I was just a text.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:23:02]:
I think this was actually a phone conversation. Either way. Usually I have sharp memory, but age, I guess.

Edward Fultz [00:23:11]:
I don't know the event you're referring to. So once I know the event, maybe I have more.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:23:17]:
I can't even say I'm going to go through my phone.

Edward Fultz [00:23:21]:
I have the messages. I can go back to check the transcripts I got you.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:23:27]:
I'll do that because 2018, I was just getting there. So it was definitely 2019, and I want to even say it was 2019 around this time. Yeah, maybe around this time. So either way, I think at that point in our friendship, I wanted a listening ear. So I think that's just what I quote unquote required or expected of you. And I don't think for trying to give me advice, because I also think that's a normal thing that people do as well. People usually be like, okay, problem, find solution. And I think you realized with our friendship that, you know what? I think she just wants to talk it out, and I think it just requires me to listen.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:24:11]:
And maybe you felt a little bit like, okay, that's it. You don't want to move forward, which I could see how other people could feel that way. Like, oh, you just want to talk about this until you don't want to talk about it no more. Where's the action behind that? But I think many people I also think it's a skill I'm trying to land here. I also think it's a skill to know when someone wants to just flush out how they feel and when someone is looking for advice.

Edward Fultz [00:24:44]:
You told me the receiving person should have that skill to recognize which one that person needs at that moment.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:24:50]:
Yes. And that sounds like, oh, well, that's a high expectation.

Edward Fultz [00:24:55]:
I agree. That's a very high that's a high expectation.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:24:58]:
So let me just dumb it down by saying if you don't know, because most people will not know and still give the advice when the advice is not sought after, or people will listen when they're actually looking for something to say, just ask, like, hey, are you looking for advice right now? Or do you just want to listen, or I think when you just listen to the person talk, you might be able to be like, okay, I think they just want to vent. I don't think that's rocket science. I think the person on the receiving end can sometimes just listen and be able to tell, you know, what, I think he or she just wants to get it out. That's just how I feel.

Edward Fultz [00:25:35]:
No, I think that's definitely a skill. I'm not a master, nor what's the word? Rookie, normal, hard, difficulty? Mastery? Novice, legendary. I'm definitely below novice in recognizing when.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:25:57]:
People so you're introductory, basically in regards.

Edward Fultz [00:26:00]:
To having that recognition of when someone speaks to me, all we talk about is very deep issues. They're not just talking to me, oh, how's your day? Or who won the championship last night? No, they talk to me about family stuff, about religious stuff, about current work problems, current relationship problems, life problems that we all have. Yes. Because of my mindset, because of the way I am, I immediately go to solution based solutions.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:26:37]:
We picking up what you're putting down.

Edward Fultz [00:26:39]:
Yeah, I do. But I've noticed, especially over the last two to three years, how when to listen, when to give advice, and for me, when to listen and give advice, and when to listen and give solutions. I've learned that I just ask sometimes, like, hey, maybe at the forefront or maybe at the back end, hey, I appreciate you telling me. I'm sorry for what you're going through. Do you want me to give you some advice or some solutions, or do you just want to vent? And maybe that's so, quote unquote, mechanical, robotic, but it helps me. I don't have that skill yet, and maybe I'm learning to get that skill, but like you said, that's a high expectation, that's a high standard to recognize when someone just needs to talk and someone isn't for a solution. It's hard.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:27:27]:
I also think it's about knowing your friend. I have a friend that I know that most times when she calls me, she is looking to just have a soundboard, have somebody just be a listening ear. I don't really think it's rocket science, but maybe I take understanding people to a different level. Like, when I really want to understand someone, I really do want to understand them. As Edward is mocking me. No, because I don't.

Edward Fultz [00:27:57]:
And that's one of my flaws. I'll admit. That's one of my flaws that I'm working on, and I don't know. I really don't. I don't know.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:28:04]:
Disclaimer. I'm not a saint either, so I do get it wrong. There is no such perfect friend.

Edward Fultz [00:28:08]:
Cool. Because I'm such a component, man. I'm such a proponent of living your best life every day and having no negative dark and or gray clouds over your head or over your circumstance. I'm not if you wake up feeling miserable, I think we should fix that. And that's always my goal of solution based answers because I want you to have your best life, whatever you want to do, whoever you want to be with, whoever you want to associate yourself with, I want you to be happy. And so when you tell me about negative things, I want to fix those negative things. But I'm learning once again, I am learning how maybe not just to go at it too much and listen more and like, you know, either ask a question or maybe, like you said, knowing your friend and knowing know maybe Priscilla, I know her at this stage, she wants to vent, I'm gonna let her vent. I'm not going to say too much.

Edward Fultz [00:29:08]:
I'm going to listen. I'm not going to be distracted. I'm going to process it and I'm going to just be there for her as a friend, as a listening ear.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:29:16]:
I am thinking, though, at the same time, sometimes the solution is just to sit with how you feel.

Edward Fultz [00:29:26]:
Is that in relation to two people or that's just by yourself?

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:29:32]:
That's a good question. My initial response is by yourself. Like if you wake up feeling miserable, sometimes you do have to sit with it. I don't think there is any other solution. The more you sit with it, the more you know what to do.

Edward Fultz [00:29:46]:
And sometimes you call your friend and.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:29:48]:
Say hey and talk it out or whatever the case may be. I don't know, in closing it out, if there was something you needed me to do or something you feel that we've gotten better or I've gotten worse at. I'd definitely like to hear the same question and answer from you in terms of where you feel our friendship is at.

Edward Fultz [00:30:16]:
Where is it at or how the.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:30:18]:
What was the question you initially asked, child?

Edward Fultz [00:30:24]:
I said about things that have happened, our growth in our friendship and things that have happened that you remember, I can test to and of how I learned from that situation to become a better friend for you.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:30:39]:
I want to ask what's something I've done as a friend that you don't like or didn't like in the past? That's a better question.

Edward Fultz [00:30:46]:
I think now you really put me on the spot. Okay, stay with your chest. Right? Let me see why tell me your dim, like, doesn't disagree with I don't know, we're going to cut this part out or not, but maybe your sentiment and perspective about love.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:31:11]:
Really that bleeds.

Edward Fultz [00:31:13]:
Into our friendship in regards to your romantic involvement of others. I mean, yeah, we talk about that.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:31:21]:
I don't think I give you advice.

Edward Fultz [00:31:23]:
On your no, not advice, but okay, let me back up. We can cut that part out.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:31:29]:
Less of a friendship between that would be an answer of less of a friendship between us.

Edward Fultz [00:31:35]:
I got you now. I'm sorry. Yes. Okay, let me see. Is what you're trying to see. I'm trying to remember. We have. Had a lot of conversations, Priscilla, so I'm trying to relay, trying to remember.

Edward Fultz [00:31:53]:
I remember a situation where you give me some advice. I'm like, yeah, it's not coming to me, but I'll definitely remember it for the next time. It's not coming to me right now.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:32:05]:
Maybe that's an off air conversation, basically.

Edward Fultz [00:32:07]:
Maybe it's off air. Yeah, maybe it's not like something I hold deep, like, oh, my, I remember Priscilla did that when she just gave me bad advice or when she wasn't there, which will happen. Yeah, I don't think like that. Like I said, there's a reason you're in my life. And even if or when you did that back in the day or recently, whatever, I don't think about that. I'm not a negative perspective person. I think about the good, the positivity. And I do, I expect flaws from you and from myself and our job to get us to grow together, to become the best person we can be.

Edward Fultz [00:32:46]:
That's always mythology. Mythology my method. We don't know what words mean nowadays. We're just trying to just use words at this point. But that's my reason to give. I say one of my hobbies, as you know, with my mentees is to help people find their success, their success stories. I love that. I love helping people get to what they want to get to.

Edward Fultz [00:33:13]:
It makes me happy. So if I can be a part of your story, of your personal development, become the best Priscilla there is, that makes me happy in regards to all my friendships, especially my closer ones, no, I don't have an answer to your question because I don't think I think about it. But definitely after this, I'm going to.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:33:34]:
Challenge you on that, actually, because once.

Edward Fultz [00:33:38]:
I have put him on the spot and I didn't know I wasn't clutch, I missed a shot. It's okay. Jordan, LeBron, Kobe, all, they missed some shots, too, so we okay.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:33:49]:
And shout out to the Atlanta Braves.

Edward Fultz [00:33:54]:
What? Talk about a moment in history. Oh, my gosh. I really love my team. Shout to Atlanta Braves for winning the 2021 World Series. It's just beautiful because, like I said, it's just been so long. It's been so long. And it was the last time we won was in 1996. All right.

Edward Fultz [00:34:16]:
I was three years old.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:34:18]:
I was three years old.

Edward Fultz [00:34:20]:
I was three years old. And some people don't understand the magnitude, what this really means. All right. I mean, I do. I really do understand. It's been, what, 20? We're going to do math here. 25 years. 26 years.

Edward Fultz [00:34:34]:
96 plus us. 24 plus one.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:34:40]:
I want to say it's 26 years.

Edward Fultz [00:34:41]:
Four is 2025 years. Right?

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:34:44]:
You have it?

Edward Fultz [00:34:45]:
Yeah. 96 to 2021 is 25 years.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:34:49]:
I believe you. Even if I don't check the math, I believe you.

Edward Fultz [00:34:54]:
Just think about it. Just think about it.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:34:59]:
I'm going to let you do the maths and the numbers. Numbers is your thing.

Edward Fultz [00:35:03]:
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure 25 years. I'm pretty good at math, but, yeah, I love it. It's an extraordinary opportunity for the city. As anybody knows, you have been an Atlanta fan in any sport. We have a lot of meltdowns. We're not going to talk about the football stuff. I don't want to mention that. But last year, even with the Braves last year, we were up three one against the Dodgers in the NLCS championship.

Edward Fultz [00:35:27]:
And we lost. We lost the next three. And we didn't go to the World Series last year, so I love it. I buy it all. What's? The terminology, Ms. Brown.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:35:38]:
Memorabilia.

Edward Fultz [00:35:39]:
Memorabilia. Memorable.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:35:41]:
That's a mouthful, but I think it's memorabilia.

Edward Fultz [00:35:44]:
And what's the p one?

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:35:46]:
Paraphernalia.

Edward Fultz [00:35:46]:
That's definitely different about all of it. The magazines, the newspaper, the plaques. Every time. Every time. I'm happy we got this first episode down. I'm happy, I'm assuming, and I expecting a lot more, and I just love having these conversations. So let's get it done.

Priscilla Brago Brown [00:36:08]:
All right, guys, thank you for listening. And we are logging out. Until next time. Bye.
