Quotes:
“What does your heart want? What does your soul want?” - Shereen Thor
“Because every time I talk to people about this, they think you're just making excuses for the fact that you haven't quote unquote reached your goals. I'm like, first of all, I'm okay with my goals. Second. I'll go work in a bank tomorrow if you need me. I don't like fame, do you? Are we chasing fame? Fame isn't even at a premium anymore.” - Ronnie Jr.
“You know, I messed up, I didn't deal with my weight, I didn't deal with my sexuality in my 20s, I dealt with just wanting to be on the air - super desperate to do it, I was willing to do anything to make that happen.” - Ronnie Jr.
“I'm Egyptian. Nobody knows if I'm black or white. So, I can play any card. I can sound like a valley girl or a black girl. And, it's not politically incorrect either way. So, you know I'm just having a good time here.” - Shereen Thor
“I think that I grew up pretty whitewashed. You know what I mean? So, it's not odd to me to be married to a white man. But it is interesting for the kids to be half Egyptian and a half white because I do have this fear that they're not going to be in touch with their culture. Like it's just going to wash away like it never existed.” - Shereen Thor
“I love this quote, she [Mati] goes, ‘people want to know what you are. So they know how to treat you.’” - Ronnie Jr.
“I really don't know if it's beneficial for me to check my boxes. Because, if I said, Mexican American, if I said gay, I feel like they would literally think I’m a different human being. And then, I get down and out - Oh My God, am I not doing my community justice? But it's like, No, no, you're your own version.” - Ronnie Jr.
“I think what you should do is, take these social media platforms…these are like bonuses, so let's not live by them, let's use them and enjoy them, but let's not live by them.” - Ronnie Jr.
“This was such an interesting podcast. I feel like we went on all kinds of different subjects. It was very dynamic. This was wonderfully entertaining and fulfilling for me. I hope it was also wonderfully filling entertaining for the listeners.” - Shereen Thor
