    😂😂 you 2 are hilarious!! I’m visiting SA, for the 1st time in October. I’ve never been so excited about a trip! I just retired, an I already told my sons, if I love SA I’m moving there. I’m so tired of the BS going on in the US an how they trying to take us backwards as a nation. They can have it! I’m gonna back to the motherland.

    🤣🤣Adrienne gotta keep you on track for the intro! Seems like yesterday ya'll went to Houston, then back and forth to SA; ya'll was on a serious mission!! Forget them haters writing their names on the milk, talkin' 'bout "mama don't touch this"!🤣🤣. I said it then, and I'll say it now, (I think ya'll had less than 2k subs then...almost 10k now!). I am SOOO proud of ya'll. You guys are the epitome of resiliency and perseverance. Platinum Nugget: "It takes a radical commitment. Ridiculous consistency and a radical commitment". Trademark it, put it on a t-shirt. Just did my mental pushups and lat pull downs, on my way to the gym for the physical part! 🙏🏽
