Hey chicks, I'm Sal. I'm Hal. And this is Two Broke Chicks, the show that shares life lessons and tips to help make you rich in life. And welcome back to another episode of What's the Tea? And today we are joined by our good friend, Lena Tuck. Hi!
Hi! Hi!
Hi,
everybody. Thank you. Best friend. Friend of the show. What's the cheese? Always just like one
of our friends. How can we have like good solid banter? Yeah, good banter. But yeah, we've been friends with Lena for many years, but you chickies might know her as the three martini lunch. connoisseur advocate yet breaking into pool girl. And also now at the bottom of the list of those priorities, but also one of the co-hosts of the slot podcast. Did
you not get the memo that like people are supposed to be known for one thing?
I'm multifaceted, multidimensional. I love that.
I know.
All
the advice is niche down and you're like, I'm going to niche up.
Yeah, I'm going to just try, fuck around and find out. And that is my big motto in life, to fuck around and find out.
Did you see that video of the chick online? She was like, so I've been fucking around and here's what I found
out. I love that. Ten out of ten. Exactly. That is my absolute shtick on TikTok. I just feel like I leap all over the place and I'm like, you know what? This month I'm going to try sitting in the pools. I feel like
that's just you in general and that's why you're, like, literally the funnest person to be around.
Undiagnosed ADHD potentially undisclosed.
Yeah, and why do you think we get long, Destiny?
They say
we all gravitate to another. Yeah,
exactly. Sparkly minds unite. And we don't usually do life lessons on What's The Tea, however. But Lena has expressed that she very much wants to share her life lesson of the week. So we don't have one necessarily,
but
Lena, take it away. What's
your life lesson?
It's your show now.
Okay, my life lesson is it's always going to be a no unless you ask for what you want. T, love that. And I feel like my whole bit was going to be like my whole career in media was just founded on the fact that I cold pitched to someone that I wanted to make TikToks for them for pedestrian TV. And then they were like, yeah, okay. Eventually, after like six months of me emailing them, they were like, okay, let's just give it the TikTok, whatever. Anyway, I just think that's like-
is that you didn't also take the first no as the final answer.
Yeah.
If they didn't reply, like you just keep going. Absolutely.
Because I think that some
people are like, oh, well, I'll ask once and then I hear a no. Totally.
And it's like, oh, okay. Or you don't hear anything and then you're like, okay. And I just remember their, because this is like 2021 when their TikTok was just like not, like a thousand followers. And I was like, let me in, let me in. You're like, I have ideas. Exactly. And yeah, I just think like consistency and persistence is like the key to getting what you want.
1,000 cents. If you don't ask, it's always an O. Exactly.
Love that. Yeah. And
that's my life lesson. Thank
you. Thank you for sharing
that. Thanks, guys. Okay. Let's get into our conspiracies. Let's do it. I know.
Big
brain. Wrinkly brain. Or smooth brain. I'm
sure.
All of
the
above. They're both. Exactly. Thank
you. A
combo. So we've each got a different conspiracy theory that we're going to dive into. Shall I kick us off? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Do you want to ask me what's the tea? Yeah. So...
What's the
tea? I love that you joined in. No one ever joins in. It's the best. Okay. So my conspiracy theory is that birds are government spies. I'm so
invested. Yeah. Okay.
I... Don't trust birds. So this
like.
Checks out. Yeah. There's something about them.
I can't think of that many birds that I like. Wait,
what about pigeons? I like them. See, I'm
a bird
apologist. No,
I'm a bird apologist
too.
Like I'm that really fucking annoying person that you're walking with.
What life‑lesson does Lena Tuck share and how does it relate to persistence?
And when the pigeon kind of flies at you, they're like. No,
I do that too. I do that too. Cause it's like, it's
just, it's like, I'm like, fuck off.
