| 0:00.0 | So today, I have got someone who knows me better than most people in the world. |
| 0:05.0 | Hopefully, she don't tell too much of my business, but she is one of my dearest friends, |
| 0:08.7 | and we're talking about love and friendship with Crystal Hearst. |
| 0:11.4 | Welcome to the Jada Edwards podcast. |
| 0:39.3 | Thank you. Okay, Crystal Hearst. Now, this is how you know when your life is busy and crazy. |
| 0:45.3 | To have lunch with your friend, you need to set up a podcast appointment so they can come and do some work. |
| 0:47.1 | And then we just hang out after. |
| 0:49.0 | I'm so glad you're with me today. |
| 0:51.5 | I'm so glad to be here, girl. |
| 0:53.0 | I was like, everybody was like, what are you doing? |
| 0:54.1 | I was like, it's Jada's Day. The whole day. I love it. I love it. Y'all, let me tell you something. So I have to say this every time. I've known Crystal. I was like 11 or 12 somewhere around when I met Crystal. And she was. Don't make you sound too bad. Don't make me sound too bad. Well, so there's been a |
| 1:13.5 | slow shift in evolution that happened to those early years, but that's what happens because I was |
| 1:17.8 | two or three years younger. And so, you know, 15 and 12 feels like a chasm. It's not the same as |
| 1:25.7 | you get older. So when I was younger, she was the big sister that always was messing with me and Priscilla. And we were just always trying to mess with her too. And so the dynamic, the initial dynamic was this is our big sister. And we're getting on her nerves all the time. All the time. Look, she was like, get out of my room. They were just cackling. |
| 1:44.8 | We were. And we didn't want nothing. We'd be like, looking in, what are you doing? And sideways, getting joy of me doing that. We were. Because if I would have a reaction, y'all would be like, it's typical little sister, big sister, everybody's getting on everybody's nerves. It was great. And then I just remember when you went off to college, went off to A&M, and we started talking a little more like, I need to talk to you. I need to ask you something. Or laughing, like, had fun, you know. And then the amazing carers came along. And I remember just being at that apartment with Caras. And at some point, I was like, this is my friend. |
| 2:19.8 | She's not my friend's big sister. |
| 2:22.2 | She's my friend. |
| 2:23.2 | And so it has been a joy. |
| 2:25.0 | And now Crystal is super brilliant. |
| 2:28.4 | She has authored books. |
| 2:29.8 | She is the original podcaster. |
| 2:31.5 | She started her podcast in 1981. |
