Speaker 1:
[00:26] This is Feeling Things with Amy and Kat.

Speaker 2:
[00:29] Happy Tuesday, welcome to Feeling Things. I'm Amy.

Speaker 1:
[00:31] And I'm Kat.

Speaker 2:
[00:32] And we've got some feelings today. Okay, I have a couple, you have three. Kat said she had four, but she deleted one.

Speaker 1:
[00:39] I felt like it was too much.

Speaker 2:
[00:40] Okay, well, I'm gonna start with mine because it'll lead into how you have multiple feelings, and we're gonna have covered multiple feelings, and I feel lame and shame. Is lame, lame's a feeling? No?

Speaker 1:
[00:52] I feel lame is like a thought about-

Speaker 2:
[00:55] Is it like I feel hungry? Because hungry is not a feeling.

Speaker 1:
[00:58] Yeah, it's more like, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[01:00] Yeah, so I feel shame. Because shame is an official feeling.

Speaker 1:
[01:04] Because?

Speaker 2:
[01:05] Because we did a feelings game on the Bobby Bones show where we all had to leave the room and come back and name as many feelings as we could, and I lost. And I could only think of like four, five- And you're the feeling girl. I know, I know. We talk about feelings all the time, and I just got stuck. And then I started feeling frustrated with myself, and I was like, I just feel frustrated, frustrated, frustrated, hungry. And Bobby's like, hungry's not a feeling. I'm like, I know that. But I was thinking of halt, hungry, angry, lonely, tired. And then I should have just set the fruits of the spirit, because then I would have been like, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control.

Speaker 1:
[01:40] So who won?

Speaker 2:
[01:41] Lunchbox, I think. Anyway, I feel I am so, I would like to apologize to my Feeling Things community and my co-host of Feeling Things, Kat. I owe you an apology for not winning the feelings game, because I couldn't name, I think I said like, sad. Afterwards, of course, when I'm like, oh yeah, envy, jealousy, all these other things start coming to mind. But in the moment, all I could muster up was like, sad. I don't even think I said love. I was like happy.

Speaker 1:
[02:12] Did you do hungry? Are you lonely tired?

Speaker 2:
[02:14] I did. But obviously, hungry didn't count.

Speaker 1:
[02:16] Oh, right.

Speaker 2:
[02:17] Because that's not feeling. Then I got annoyed with myself. So then I was just frustrated. And then I'm like, meh, meh. Is meh a feeling?

Speaker 1:
[02:26] No, but maybe we should have you study the feelings wheel.

Speaker 2:
[02:28] But I know, I know. It's like, what is wrong with me when I'm under pressure? I choked, I choked. So I feel shame.

Speaker 1:
[02:35] But that's actually a really good, no, this is really good. Because you're showing everybody that like everybody messes up sometimes. Everybody has those days.

Speaker 2:
[02:44] Yeah, well, I have a Feeling Things podcast. I've never said I'm a Feelings Things expert.

Speaker 1:
[02:48] Right, like you just like to talk about feelings.

Speaker 2:
[02:51] Yes.

Speaker 1:
[02:52] So, I think I'm not going to take your feeling away from you, but I would take some pressure off of yourself.

Speaker 2:
[02:58] Thanks. And here we are. I'm like, okay, I just said shame, and now you've got three feelings. None of these do, did I say. And they're very simple. Kat's three feelings, I do not think that I said them during the game.

Speaker 1:
[03:13] Which is crazy.

Speaker 2:
[03:15] I don't think so. I'm telling you, some of the most obvious feelings I didn't say, because my brain got stuck, we had 90 seconds or something. And then he's like, okay, clock's ticking, you got 20 seconds left. And then I'm like, under pressure, all the same feeling over and over is just frustrated, frustrated, frustrated, frustrated.

Speaker 1:
[03:37] I had a Britney Spears themed birthday party one time, was surprised. I love Britney Spears. And we played a bunch of games. And one of the games was, name as many Britney Spears songs. And I think 60 seconds or 30 seconds or something like that. And they obviously, I got picked on my team to do that. And I also choked. But if I had time and it wasn't a game, I could sit here and list so many.

Speaker 2:
[04:00] I had no idea.

Speaker 1:
[04:02] I probably kept being like, hit me baby one more time, like over and over, because you just get like stuck on it. So I know how you feel. Don't worry.

Speaker 2:
[04:11] Right.

Speaker 1:
[04:12] Have the best of us. So let's get to my three feelings.

Speaker 2:
[04:15] Let's get to them and I'm going to study them.

Speaker 1:
[04:17] I did have four, but I just was like, that's too much. I just need to narrow it down. We'll start with disappointed because that-

Speaker 2:
[04:23] You're disappointed in me. No, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1:
[04:26] I could never.

Speaker 2:
[04:28] That's not true. But thank you.

Speaker 1:
[04:32] You're welcome. I'm trying to make you feel better. I watched the season finale of The Pit this morning. And if you remember, I was obsessed with that show last season, raved about it. And I won't not give you anything away, but the end of the show, the end of the finale, it just was like...

Speaker 2:
[04:53] Well, sometimes people don't like when people say how they feel about an ending, because then they're anticipating disappointment.

Speaker 1:
[05:01] Okay. Well, if you don't want to hear this, fast forward.

Speaker 2:
[05:04] They know you're disappointed. I only know this because I have lived this out on, speaking of The Bobby Bones Show, like I'm known on the show as like a spoiler. That's like my thing.

Speaker 1:
[05:15] Well, I feel like I want to talk about this because it felt like a regular episode, like a middle of the season episode. So I just want to know if anybody else feels that way or if I'm expecting too much. Because maybe, you know when you have high expectations, I was watching also the Noah Cahn documentary. Have you watched that?

Speaker 2:
[05:36] No.

Speaker 1:
[05:36] You're not a big fan of his, are you?

Speaker 2:
[05:38] No, I like Noah Cahn.

Speaker 1:
[05:38] Okay. It's really good.

Speaker 2:
[05:42] Yeah, I actually love his music. Where did you get that?

Speaker 1:
[05:45] Well, I've never heard to talk about him before. Oh. You've never brought him up before.

Speaker 2:
[05:51] Okay. I don't know that you have either.

Speaker 1:
[05:54] What are you talking about? CryoKat has never heard of Noah Cahn. He's like the biggest thing right now.

Speaker 2:
[06:02] See, no, CryoKat likes Cardi B. No. Nicki Minaj.

Speaker 1:
[06:06] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[06:06] What? She's not, I don't think Noah Cahn, she's rap.

Speaker 1:
[06:12] Okay. So dang, if you like him so much, maybe we should go to Chicago to see his show this summer.

Speaker 2:
[06:18] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[06:19] Why did I bring him up?

Speaker 2:
[06:21] You watched his documentary.

Speaker 1:
[06:23] No, he's not from, CryoKat asked if he's from a boy band. He is not a boy band guy. If you don't know who this is, look him up. His music's really good. He has a lot of feelings in his music, but his first album blew up and in this documentary, he's talking about how he feels a lot of pressure for the next album because people expect, now he has expectations and it was easy to write some of that music because he was in his feelings and like he wasn't this huge famous person, but now his life is a little different. And so he's like, well, am I only going to be able to write good music if I'm sad? You know, which I feel like a lot of people maybe deal with in the artistic world. So I'm saying that is like, maybe I don't want to put that kind of pressure on this TV show because I wouldn't want to put this kind of pressure on Noah Cahn, this sweet man. He also talks about his body dysmorphia and disordered eating, which I did not expect.

Speaker 2:
[07:17] Oh, I did not know. I did not know that about him.

Speaker 1:
[07:20] I didn't. Well, I didn't either. I'll give you a pass on that. But he said like he hasn't because he talks about mental health a lot and he said a reason he hasn't spoken about that a lot is because he doesn't know his place in that conversation, which I thought was really interesting because I think it is really helpful when specifically men talk about that because you don't hear it as much.

Speaker 2:
[07:45] Definitely not because this disordered eating, it says here, he admits to a cycle of binge eating during high stress periods followed by periods of starving himself driven by feelings of hate towards his body. You do not, I do not hear men talk about this.

Speaker 1:
[07:59] He was talking about how he'll look at a picture and he'll be like, oh my gosh, I look like I'm 400 pounds. The people around him will be like, that's a great picture of you, but he literally cannot see it. I just think there's a lot of people that don't know it. I mean, to me, it seems like everybody knows, but there's a lot of people that don't know what body dysmorphia is and what it really feels like. For somebody at his level to be talking about it, and I also do like that he's not talking about it in the way that I figured everything out. He's talking about it in the way of, I'm struggling with this, and this is something that even me, this person who looks like they're on top of the world, looks in the mirror and hates stuff, what they see. So recommend that. I didn't think I was going to talk about that, but I definitely recommend that. Next feeling.

Speaker 2:
[08:46] So that was your disappointed feeling? Not the Noah Khan, but the pit.

Speaker 1:
[08:49] Yes, but the pit. So there's that. My next feeling is overwhelmed, because I am on baby stroller TikTok. I have a feeling that you've never been on this side of TikTok.

Speaker 2:
[09:01] No.

Speaker 1:
[09:02] I don't recommend it.

Speaker 2:
[09:03] What happens over there? What's going on? Are you being fed people walking their strollers, or like what stroller you should buy, or is it TikTok shop?

Speaker 1:
[09:14] What if it was just videos of people walking with strollers? No, I wish it was that. Well, I'm at the point now where I feel like I should start researching what I need to buy because I don't know. I don't know the first thing about a stroller. To me, they're all the same. So I started just like looking up stuff, and you know, once you do that, it's all you see. It is every video is a live birth or a baby stroller. Yes, people are putting their birth.

Speaker 2:
[09:38] I don't, wait, how are they, what parts are they filming? It's not the actual.

Speaker 1:
[09:43] It's just, the video is pointing towards like, you can see the mom's top half of the body.

Speaker 2:
[09:49] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[09:50] And you can usually see the dad next to her. And then they'll show, either the mom will pull the baby out and onto her chest or they'll lay the baby on the chest, with all the goop and stuff on it.

Speaker 2:
[10:01] Wow.

Speaker 1:
[10:02] But I watched like four in a row last night and Patrick walked in the bedroom and I was just crying. It's crazy to watch somebody see their, I'm gonna do it now, to see their baby for the first time. And also I'm pretty scared and nervous about labor and so to see some videos people just they're like, oh, and then their baby comes out. It's crazy, it is so crazy.

Speaker 2:
[10:30] They like exhale and then the baby's there.

Speaker 1:
[10:32] I'm like, is that what a push is? That's not what I thought a push was. They're like slides out, I don't know. But then some are like in agonizing screaming kind of. And this one girl after they put the baby on her chest, she goes, somebody help me, help me, help me. Oh my God, I'm tearing up. And it was just really sweet because she was, I mean, you're seeing something in a very vulnerable spot. Didn't mean to talk about this either, but people are, I also would never, kudos to the people that do that, because also some of the videos I do kind of like watching it is sweet. I don't think I could ever put that on the internet.

Speaker 2:
[11:11] Yeah, it's a very intimate moment.

Speaker 1:
[11:13] And I will not be looking like some of these girls. They look beautiful.

Speaker 2:
[11:17] Oh, like hair, makeup.

Speaker 1:
[11:18] Makeup, highlighter, bronzer, they're contoured, their hair is pretty, and it's like the girl that just, whoo, she looked beautiful and her hair was just like wavy.

Speaker 2:
[11:28] Did she have an epidural?

Speaker 1:
[11:30] I don't know. I didn't ask her.

Speaker 2:
[11:32] Because then I'm like, did she not scream or feel something?

Speaker 1:
[11:35] She must have had an epidural.

Speaker 2:
[11:36] Yeah, because just like.

Speaker 1:
[11:37] She wasn't sweating at all. And I just was like.

Speaker 2:
[11:40] She was numb.

Speaker 1:
[11:41] Yeah. So which I will have an epidural, but I still expect to be in distress.

Speaker 2:
[11:47] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[11:48] Of some sort. Anywho.

Speaker 2:
[11:50] So strollers.

Speaker 1:
[11:51] Strollers, TikTok. I, and what I'm not doing is asking for any recommendations because I have too many at this point. It just is, this world is crazy. Like there are 17,000 different strollers. They all do different things. The wheels are different. Then this is different. The bassinet and then how this and does the car seat go with this? And then I had to text my sister. I'm like, wait a second. Do you get a stroller, a new one, every three months? How does your baby keep fitting in this? And does the cry of Kat's laughing at me. And does the car seat, how many car seats do you need? Because the baby grows and then one's facing one way and one's facing one way. And then do you have to buy the same brand because the car seat sometimes clips in to the stroller and they all say, if you're a suburban mom, you should get this kind of stroller. If you're a city mom, you should get this kind of stroller. And I'm like, well, what kind of mom am I? Am I suburban?

Speaker 2:
[12:48] Yeah. I mean, yeah, you'll figure it out. I feel like you'll, this is, you are overwhelmed by this. I feel like there's, we've got some people you can definitely ask and we'll figure out your stroller's itch.

Speaker 1:
[13:01] And what if the one that like is for me is not the cute one that I like? That's really stressful to me because I like to pick things based on how they look.

Speaker 2:
[13:10] So, you're talking about strollers and baby stuff and baby showers is making me think of a video I saw on Instagram of a single girl. I don't, it probably hasn't come across your algorithm because yours is stroller land in births.

Speaker 1:
[13:22] Wait, I think this has. I think I know what you're going to say.

Speaker 2:
[13:24] Okay. Well, so Shannon had found it too and brought it up to me and I was like, oh my gosh, I saw that video as well. So it was her talking about being a single person when everybody else around her is getting married and having babies. And I'll just go ahead and kind of read it. I went, pulled it up because she was talking.

Speaker 1:
[13:55] Was this a video, or was this a post?

Speaker 2:
[13:57] It was a video. She made a reel, like she was talking to the camera, and she makes a really good point about showing up for your single friends when you were married with kids. And you talking about the shoulder made me think about you having a baby shower, and then you have a baby shower, people showing up for you and buying gifts. Some of those people might be married with kids, some of those people might be single. And then I was like, oh yeah, there's that single girl story, which I didn't plan on talking about, but it feels like a fitting place to bring it up because we might have some listeners that are also single. And it's got to feel weird when you, or I appreciate her sharing her feelings because she's shown up for all these people through all these seasons, and she really likes her friends and she likes kids. This has nothing to do with her not liking kids. And it's not about not being happy for her friends, but she wants to show up for them in the ways that she can. But there's a narrative that says, don't worry when it's your turn, we'll circle back to you. But if you stay single, it never circles back. So if you don't have an engagement party, if you don't have a wedding, if you don't have a baby, you have your friends that have poured into certain parts of your life that just, and you're single friends, if they're choosing to stay single, and it's been a decade or two, nothing gets poured back into them. And it was just an interesting perspective.

Speaker 1:
[15:21] Yeah. Well, and I relate to that because I got married at 34 and I'm having my first kid, albeit almost 37. So I've been the person that like, I remember one time being like when I moved in, when I bought my first house being like, I wish I could have a wedding shower because people that get married they have all this help to like get all their kitchen gadgets and this and that. And I feel the pressure of like I have to do it all on my own. And I guess you could have a housewarming party. But it is an interesting perspective of like, we're going to circle back to you versus like, why don't we find a way to celebrate you now? Like, why don't we celebrate your like, you bought a house or your job promotion or your whatever, the same way we celebrate these other things?

Speaker 2:
[16:04] Yes, like the job promotion part, that's a good example of like, because we often don't throw parties for ourselves like that. But just as friends, making sure you're paying attention to something that's going on in your single friends lives so that you can be intentional about, oh, maybe we should go to dinner and celebrate that. It doesn't have to be a full blown shower for your promotion.

Speaker 1:
[16:23] That's fair, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[16:25] Or bring gifts, but just simple acknowledgment, especially if it's a single friend that has been there for you in the various stages or coming to your kids' plays, their soccer games, the list goes on how they can show up in those ways, that they may feel like, oh, because I don't have kids, maybe you're not coming to my important presentation or something.

Speaker 1:
[16:47] When it's weird, it's like if you've been to somebody's bachelorette party and wedding shower and wedding and baby shower and then another baby shower and another baby shower, you're like, I've bought this person 10 really fancy gifts. When it's my turn.

Speaker 2:
[17:01] Right. In order for it to be your turn, you have to have this thing that's been deemed by society to throw a party for.

Speaker 1:
[17:08] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[17:09] So it's just an interesting take. That's where my brain went. When you're talking about strollers, I started thinking about showers and then I started thinking about gifts, and I started thinking about single people. If you have these similar feelings, just know that you're not alone.

Speaker 1:
[17:22] I also feel at this age even thinking about a baby shower, I have mixed feelings about it because I'm like, well, I don't necessarily need people to, I can go get all this stuff myself.

Speaker 2:
[17:34] Strollers are expensive.

Speaker 1:
[17:36] I know, but we're at the place where we're established. So do I want to spend all this money? No, but I could. I'm not 23 and struggling and need somebody to help me buy a car seat. So it does feel, I know people want to celebrate me, but also I think it's because I've had the perspective of I've been to a million baby showers and I don't have a baby and I'm like, here we go again. You know, which if any of my friends are listening, I love going to your baby showers. But I also have the perspective of like, do you love doing that? And does everybody want to really do that? So I'm trying to think of like an alternative way to still have a baby shower, but it not just be a typical baby shower.

Speaker 2:
[18:12] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[18:13] You know?

Speaker 2:
[18:13] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[18:14] Like I'm babbling with couple's shower idea.

Speaker 2:
[18:16] Oh, that's fun. I think that those are fun. If it's not like showery type things and the guys, and there's going to be other guys there.

Speaker 1:
[18:22] It's just like a hangout.

Speaker 2:
[18:24] Yeah, it's more of a party, a celebration. So for Caitlin and Bobby's shower, they didn't want gifts. And so I was like, well, people are going to want to do something. And so Caitlin had the idea of everybody bringing their favorite kids book. So it started the little library for their daughter. And everybody showed up with a book and we put it on the coffee table and then that was it. And then we did a dinner. Like she wasn't, I think she was even kind of like, oh, I feel weird about having a shower. I was like, no, people are going to want to celebrate you. So yeah, that's the same exact thing to you.

Speaker 1:
[18:56] I know that. Yeah, people want to celebrate me. And I also it's like, I don't know if it's because of my age or just because of I feel like I just did all this wedding stuff. I'm like, you guys just did all this stuff for my wedding.

Speaker 2:
[19:07] I feel like maybe you have that perspective because you were the single person like doing all the things.

Speaker 1:
[19:12] I think so a little bit.

Speaker 2:
[19:13] Yeah. Anyway, so overwhelmed by strollers. What's the third feeling?

Speaker 1:
[19:18] Scared because I went to what? Are you just thinking about how like, why didn't I think I'm scared when I was doing my game?

Speaker 2:
[19:26] Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1:
[19:27] I went to dinner in Germantown, which if you're not from Nashville, it's a little like, what do you call a little area in Nashville?

Speaker 2:
[19:34] Neighborhood.

Speaker 1:
[19:34] Yeah, neighborhood in Nashville. And we were sitting, we could see out the window, Waymo cars. I had never seen one. So a Waymo car, you don't have them in your area. It is a self-driving car that you can like-

Speaker 2:
[19:49] Driverless, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[19:50] Yes. Like you can uber a Waymo car to you and get in it without a driver and it can take you somewhere. I had never seen one without a driver in it yet, because I think you have to, from what I know about these cars, you have to drive them enough around the area so they start to like understand the area or something. I don't know, they map it out. I'm not sure. Well, I look out the window and there's nobody in the drive. This car is just moving down the street and there's nobody in it. So then we start talking about that at dinner and I get on, of course, the Internet and I'm getting fed all these Waymo car videos now of Waymo cars driving into construction zones, them going the wrong way. There's a lot of one way streets in Nashville.

Speaker 2:
[20:36] And so you're watching all the videos where it's gone wrong.

Speaker 1:
[20:39] Yes. And so now when it's happening, there are videos in Nashville, too. So I'm like, are we safe on the road with these Waymo cars?

Speaker 2:
[20:47] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[20:47] Have you seen them?

Speaker 2:
[20:48] I have. Yeah. I mean, I I'm not that terrified by them, but I also haven't been fed videos of them going rogue.

Speaker 1:
[20:55] Like what the construction zone one really freaked me out because like it just drove through the construction zone. There's like people out there being like, whoa, but nobody can put on the brake because there's nobody in the car.

Speaker 2:
[21:06] Were there barricades or anything and it just?

Speaker 1:
[21:08] It was like, no, it was like dirt.

Speaker 2:
[21:13] Okay. So not even, were there passengers?

Speaker 1:
[21:17] I couldn't see that. I don't know. But I just-

Speaker 2:
[21:19] Because that's where I'm inside. I would want to be able to just be like, stop the car. Is there a code word to say, like, halt?

Speaker 1:
[21:28] Wait, that's a good question.

Speaker 2:
[21:29] I want out.

Speaker 1:
[21:31] Yeah. How do you get them to stop the car if you want out?

Speaker 2:
[21:35] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[21:36] You just jump out?

Speaker 2:
[21:38] Add this to your list of things that you shared from somewhere of things you don't understand. I don't understand really-

Speaker 1:
[21:45] A Waymo car.

Speaker 2:
[21:46] Driverless cars. This is the future and I feel like we need to just embrace it. It's going to be the norm.

Speaker 1:
[21:53] Don't say that.

Speaker 2:
[21:55] Kat, it's going to get more and more normal. People already have their own driverless cars. They get in the car. They're in the driver's seat, but they don't have to drive. They just have to keep their eyes forward.

Speaker 1:
[22:05] That makes me feel a little bit better though.

Speaker 2:
[22:07] Because it is going there. I get it. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[22:09] If it's going down the wrong road, you can be like, turn around. You could grab the wheel. I do not. Okay. Would you get in a Waymo car if you were like, needed to get somewhere? Would you order one?

Speaker 2:
[22:22] I think I would be curious about it. It's not my first choice, but if it's my only option. Highway? No.

Speaker 1:
[22:29] Surely they can't drive on the highway. Can I drive on the highway?

Speaker 2:
[22:32] I don't. Maybe one day, if they can. A flying one? No. You know, people talk about the... Yeah. When I think about the future, I picture little things coming to pick us up, and you got drones dropping off your medication from Walmart. So why not a little flying thing comes and picks you up, like a bird drops you off?

Speaker 1:
[22:55] I'm not doing that.

Speaker 2:
[22:56] Yeah, I'm probably not.

Speaker 1:
[22:58] That reminds me of the Jetsons, and that's just weird because that was like a cartoon that we watch as kids. That was like the future, and now that's starting to be like literally what we live in.

Speaker 2:
[23:09] Well, things we don't understand. You should go for that list. Where did you find it?

Speaker 1:
[23:14] I found it on Instagram. I'll have to look up, and I can put it in the show notes, who posted it originally. But I've seen a lot of these kinds of lists, but this one kind of spoke to me, and I was wondering if there's any of these things that you actually do feel confident about.

Speaker 2:
[23:27] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[23:28] Okay. The first one is why iced coffee costs more than hot.

Speaker 2:
[23:31] I didn't know it did.

Speaker 1:
[23:33] Yeah. If you get a drip coffee.

Speaker 2:
[23:35] It does. Okay.

Speaker 1:
[23:36] Versus a black iced coffee, I think the drip coffee is more money.

Speaker 2:
[23:39] Really? You mean the iced coffee is more?

Speaker 1:
[23:41] Yes. Yes. Yes.

Speaker 2:
[23:42] Yeah. I did not know that.

Speaker 1:
[23:45] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[23:45] It shouldn't be. What are you paying for? Ice?

Speaker 1:
[23:48] Or like a different kind of cup?

Speaker 2:
[23:51] Okay. Come on. That's, wow. I did not know. I'm going to start paying attention to that, because I drink iced coffee all the time, but I guess I haven't compared the two prices.

Speaker 1:
[24:00] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[24:01] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[24:02] Dry cleaning.

Speaker 2:
[24:03] I have no idea. I, chemicals.

Speaker 1:
[24:04] Like, and does it actually, like, how do you clean it?

Speaker 2:
[24:06] Yeah. Cause it comes back clean.

Speaker 1:
[24:08] But it's like never got wet.

Speaker 2:
[24:10] But if there's a spot, it comes back.

Speaker 1:
[24:12] But do they just do spots or do they?

Speaker 2:
[24:15] Well, and then they press it.

Speaker 1:
[24:17] So is it really clean?

Speaker 2:
[24:18] I think so.

Speaker 1:
[24:20] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[24:20] Did you know when you get it back, you should take it out of that plastic. It comes in right away.

Speaker 1:
[24:23] Wait, really?

Speaker 2:
[24:24] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[24:25] I usually keep it in there for years in my closet. Well, if it's like a dress I wore to an event or something, it's in there. Wait, why is it? Because of the chemicals?

Speaker 2:
[24:33] I don't know. Keep going with the list and I'll look up. It's just something my mom taught me.

Speaker 1:
[24:37] What if she made it up?

Speaker 2:
[24:38] No, it's gotta be the chemicals.

Speaker 1:
[24:41] Okay. I don't think most people do take it out. I don't. Really? I feel like it makes me feel like it's more clean when it's in like a bag in my closet. I'm like, oh, it reminds me that like, oh, I did an adult thing and got that dry cleaned. Okay. While you look that up, the next one is the feels like temp. Like, what does that mean? Like, feels like versus the actual temperature. How does it not feel like the actual temperature?

Speaker 2:
[25:04] I think because there's a temperature and then there's other conditions that make it feel, like when it's humid. So like if it's 85 degrees out, but the humidity is really high, it's going to feel like it's 90 something.

Speaker 1:
[25:17] Because you're like sweating more?

Speaker 2:
[25:18] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[25:19] Okay. So you got that one.

Speaker 2:
[25:21] I feel like I kind of, I mean, I'm not an expert. Okay, hold on. I looked it up. Shannon's not here today to help us like look things up. So I had to, and my dog is all up in my, she's very needy right now. So I'm trying to pet her while I type and talk. You should remove dry clean clothes from plastic garment bags as soon as you get home. These plastic bags are only meant for transport and trapping them inside can cause odor, chemical residue buildup, yellowing, and moisture buildup leading to mold. So remove your dry clean.

Speaker 1:
[25:56] They should tell you that when you pick up your dry clean, they should be like, take this out of the bag when you get home.

Speaker 2:
[26:02] Key tips for post dry cleaning care. Tip one, remove from plastic promptly. Take clothes out of the plastic bags immediately upon returning home. Air them out. Allow the garments to hang freely for a few hours in an open space to let any residual chemical odor escape.

Speaker 1:
[26:19] Well, I have a lot of unpacking to do in my closet.

Speaker 2:
[26:21] Remove wire hangers. Swap the flimsy wire hangers provided by the dry cleaner for sturdy wood or padded hangers to maintain the garment shape. So that's up to you. I don't like wire hangers in my closet just because I have never... I think I got that from my mom as well. And that there was that movie way back in the day. It's an old movie. I don't even remember what it is called, like Mother something. She's in the closet or yelling. She's like, no more wire hangers.

Speaker 1:
[26:49] They do put little pokies on your shoulders of your outfits or your shirts. So I get that. Okay. Well, thanks for teaching us that. I feel like that's a helpful tip we could all use.

Speaker 2:
[27:00] Yeah, no problem. Okay. Mommy Dearest is the movie, by the way, from 1981. The no more wire hanger scene is the iconic campy centerpiece from the 1981 film Mommy Dearest. Faye Dunaway plays actress Joan Crawford, who flips into a rage when she finds wire hangers in her daughter's closet. Is the mom like, I just remember the scene. No more wire hanger.

Speaker 1:
[27:26] Was she having a bad day or she just kind of an erratic person?

Speaker 2:
[27:29] I don't remember. I don't even know if I just know the scene or I actually, I mean, I was born in the movie. I was born in 81, so. The scene is based on a 1978 memoir, depicts extreme unpredictable emotional abuse, and has become a major pop culture reference, so.

Speaker 1:
[27:47] Wait a second. Speaking of you being born in 1981, I saw, I'm curious if this blows your mind as much as it blew mine. I saw a meme that was like, if Full House was to be filmed today, this is when all of Uncle Jesse, Joey, and Danny Tanner would have been born. See if I can remember. I think Uncle Jesse was like 2002, Joey was 1996, and Danny was 1997. So if they made that show today, those three guys would have been, like Uncle Jesse would have been born in 2002. Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 2:
[28:22] Oh yeah, that is crazy.

Speaker 1:
[28:23] But I think about that show, I think they're all like 40 years old. That not blow your mind as much as it blew mine? You're like, I kind of see it. You're like, it makes sense, but I'll tell you it's crazy just because you think it's crazy.

Speaker 2:
[28:35] That's something I do understand.

Speaker 1:
[28:38] Okay, well then let me find another one from this list. What about cruise ships?

Speaker 2:
[28:43] Well, yeah, the floating part is really weird to me.

Speaker 1:
[28:46] They're so big, there's so many rooms, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[28:49] Yeah, it's massive. It's just floating on the water.

Speaker 1:
[28:51] So you don't get that one?

Speaker 2:
[28:53] Yeah, it's hard for me.

Speaker 1:
[28:56] But you don't think about it very often?

Speaker 2:
[28:59] I mean, a canoe, I sort of get.

Speaker 1:
[29:01] Boats in general are kind of...

Speaker 2:
[29:03] Airplanes?

Speaker 1:
[29:05] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[29:06] I mean, the only travel thing that makes sense to me besides cars, I guess, like train, I get train, I put it on the track.

Speaker 1:
[29:12] Train makes a lot of sense. A bike makes sense.

Speaker 2:
[29:14] Airplanes, like this just goes up into the air.

Speaker 1:
[29:17] What about subway? That makes sense, are there trains?

Speaker 2:
[29:20] Yeah, track.

Speaker 1:
[29:20] What about underwater tunnels?

Speaker 2:
[29:24] Yeah, no, they don't make sense to me. Like, how do you get rid of the water?

Speaker 1:
[29:27] How do you build that and how they move?

Speaker 2:
[29:31] Yeah, that one's hard. So, driving through an underwater water tunnel.

Speaker 1:
[29:37] Do you get scared?

Speaker 2:
[29:37] Or even anything underground.

Speaker 1:
[29:40] Like, how is the water also not putting all this pressure on it in it?

Speaker 2:
[29:45] Yeah, I don't know. It's crazy. Or if there's like a leak, you know, like.

Speaker 1:
[29:49] If there's a leak, what happens?

Speaker 2:
[29:51] I don't know. Do you know what also, speaking of tunnels that I don't understand is prisoners who build a tunnel to escape, scrape their way out with like a teeny tiny.

Speaker 1:
[30:03] Who did that?

Speaker 2:
[30:04] Prisoners do that.

Speaker 1:
[30:05] Today?

Speaker 2:
[30:06] They spend years digging holes and it might take them forever to break through, but they've got their little.

Speaker 1:
[30:11] How do they hide the hole?

Speaker 2:
[30:13] They just put a poster over it or something.

Speaker 1:
[30:17] Who is doing this? Who did this?

Speaker 2:
[30:18] I swear.

Speaker 1:
[30:19] It's just in a movie, wasn't it?

Speaker 2:
[30:21] I swear. No, prisoners have dug holes before.

Speaker 1:
[30:24] In like the 1800s?

Speaker 2:
[30:26] No, in modern day. And it's just crazy to me how they're able to do that. And they dig a tunnel or fine, maybe not prisoners. Pablo Escobar, drug tunnels, like tunnels from Mexico to Texas, they run drugs under there. Like those are crazy to me. You just like dig these holes.

Speaker 1:
[30:43] That is crazy. You don't watch Euphoria, do you?

Speaker 2:
[30:46] No.

Speaker 1:
[30:46] Okay. It was a crazy, yeah. I will say, it's not really my thing, but I started watching it, so now I have to finish it. They had to transport drugs across country lines. And the way they did it, I was shocked. They didn't go through a tunnel. They had fentanyl in like a balloon, and then they had to swallow the balloons. But if one of those balloons pops, you're dead.

Speaker 2:
[31:14] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[31:15] And then like think about the tummy ache.

Speaker 2:
[31:18] Well, and then you have to like go to the bathroom out. I'm trying not to say poop.

Speaker 1:
[31:22] Oh, sorry. Is that another one of those words you don't like?

Speaker 2:
[31:27] No, it's fine. I just tried to risk someone might be eating breakfast right now.

Speaker 1:
[31:30] Then you have to go to the potty.

Speaker 2:
[31:32] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[31:35] Okay. So we don't get underwater tunnels. How about how come superglue doesn't get stuck in the bottle?

Speaker 2:
[31:44] Because air hasn't hit it yet.

Speaker 1:
[31:45] That's what I was thinking. But there is some air in the bottle.

Speaker 2:
[31:49] True. Yeah. When it gets lower.

Speaker 1:
[31:51] Why doesn't it just turn hard? Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[31:54] Because when it comes out, it's sticky. Yeah. Your fingers get stuck together real fast.

Speaker 1:
[31:59] Glue in general. Why doesn't it get stuck in the bottle?

Speaker 2:
[32:01] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[32:02] That's right.

Speaker 2:
[32:02] I mean, Elmer's glue doesn't perplex me because that's like kid's glue or like a glue stick. But like super glue, that is perplexing. Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[32:12] Because super glue also dries really fast.

Speaker 2:
[32:15] Yeah. OK.

Speaker 1:
[32:16] OK. Parrots speaking.

Speaker 2:
[32:20] I mean, dolphins can talk. Right. They can communicate, not like a parrot, but they're not like repeating words, but like animals speak their own language. Have you seen that pig on Instagram?

Speaker 1:
[32:35] Which one?

Speaker 2:
[32:36] They use his buttons to talk. I don't know. His name is like Marty or Marlin. Maybe it's Marlin.

Speaker 1:
[32:42] If he presses them with his snout?

Speaker 2:
[32:43] He uses his snout and there's like 20 buttons lined up and they're color coordinated and one's like, good morning. And another one's like, I'm mad. And then he just like beeps and he's like...

Speaker 1:
[32:53] Does he know what he's saying or is he just pressing the buttons?

Speaker 2:
[32:55] Hungry.

Speaker 1:
[32:56] Treat.

Speaker 2:
[32:57] I feel like he knows. Like Saturday Night Live did a... How I saw it was the owner of the pig was reacting to a skit that Saturday Night Live did about him. And she was like, come on Saturday Night Live, do better. Like she wrote some funny jokes that she thought would have been represented the pig better because they like made a joke about pork or bacon or eating him. And she was like, not cool. Here are some other jokes that could have been funnier. And then I went on this rabbit hole down the page. And it seems legit. Like the, and she said she taught it to read. Now either I'm naive and I'm just falling for this. Okay. It's a pet. Yeah. It's a pet. It lives inside. And it wears goggles and the hat. Yeah. Pigs are smart. But she wrote down, yes, Google it. I'll give me to Google it for you. Yeah, I can't Google it on here.

Speaker 1:
[33:49] It's too difficult.

Speaker 2:
[33:50] Okay.

Speaker 1:
[33:51] So I don't think I've ever heard somebody say pigs are smart.

Speaker 2:
[33:53] Pigs are smart. I will tell you. Pigs are smart. I just searched it up. Here's what it says. Pigs are highly intelligent.

Speaker 1:
[34:03] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[34:04] Cognitively complex animals, often ranked among the top five most intelligent species on Earth.

Speaker 1:
[34:12] Wait. And we're obviously included in that.

Speaker 2:
[34:14] Pigs can solve mazes, learn complex tasks, understand basic symbolic language. They can even use tools such as using bark to dig. And they understand cause and effect.

Speaker 1:
[34:27] Can they read?

Speaker 2:
[34:28] Yes. That's what I was going to tell you. She was writing, sit on the board, on her white board. And she would just hold it up and he would sit. Then she erased it and she wrote, lay down. And he looked at it and then he laid down.

Speaker 1:
[34:40] Okay. That doesn't mean he can read. That means he can recognize a symbol.

Speaker 2:
[34:44] That's reading.

Speaker 1:
[34:46] But could he, but if she wrote a sentence, he wouldn't know what it meant.

Speaker 2:
[35:03] Did she teach him the sentence? Right, we're right.

Speaker 1:
[35:05] She couldn't have a conversation and tell him about her day. Right. But he can recognize certain symbols.

Speaker 2:
[35:10] But I feel like she asks him, and he'll be like, Lord. He'll go over to the mad.

Speaker 1:
[35:17] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[35:17] And he'll take his little snout.

Speaker 1:
[35:19] I stand corrected. I believe you now that pigs are smart. I just never would have thought out of all the animals, pigs were smart.

Speaker 2:
[35:26] Okay. For communication, pigs communicate using over 20 different vocalizations and sounds ranging from social interaction to danger warnings. As for memory and learning, they possess excellent long-term memory and can learn by observing other pigs. And as for cleanliness, they're often misunderstood as dirty. Pigs are clean animals that maintain separate areas for sleeping and waste, provided they have enough space. So they're just like rolling around in there.

Speaker 1:
[35:52] It's like justice for the pigs over here. Do you want a pig?

Speaker 2:
[35:56] It says here, pigs are on par with dogs.

Speaker 1:
[35:59] Oh, do you want a pig?

Speaker 2:
[36:02] I wanted a pig. Remember the time I went to the pig farm when I gave birth to a pig?

Speaker 1:
[36:07] Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[36:07] For my silent film. And I really wanted to get one. It was a teacup piglet. But then I saw her parents, the pig's parents, and I was like, they were huge. And I was like, this is a lie.

Speaker 1:
[36:17] Pigs are not on par with dogs.

Speaker 2:
[36:20] I do think that they can be cute. If I had a domesticated cute pig, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[36:24] And it stayed small.

Speaker 2:
[36:26] Yeah, like I could get a guaranteed dwarf pig. Isn't that a runt?

Speaker 1:
[36:34] Runt, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[36:34] Yeah. Like a little piglet that stays small, like a pocket piglet.

Speaker 1:
[36:40] What's Charlotte's web? What's the pig's name in Charlotte? Babe? What's the pig in Charlotte's web?

Speaker 2:
[36:45] Yeah, is it babe?

Speaker 1:
[36:46] I don't know. I think babe's another pig because that pig was the runt of the litter, wasn't he?

Speaker 2:
[36:52] I don't know. I'm not really recalling the story. Wilbur.

Speaker 1:
[36:55] Wilbur. Oh, Wilbur. Oh, that was a sweet movie.

Speaker 2:
[37:01] Okay. So back to our things we don't understand.

Speaker 1:
[37:03] The only one that I, how did we even get on the pig? Parrots. This is my last one.

Speaker 2:
[37:09] Talking parrots.

Speaker 1:
[37:10] And this one really throws you for a loop. How does a bus fit in the same lane as a car?

Speaker 2:
[37:19] That I understand. What? The lane is wide.

Speaker 1:
[37:23] The car.

Speaker 2:
[37:24] What? Kat. Sorry. I'm reflexed.

Speaker 1:
[37:31] How does a semi fit in the same lane as a car?

Speaker 2:
[37:35] Because the lane is wide enough for the semi. But in the car is smaller. Like the car has plenty of room.

Speaker 1:
[37:42] You're making too much sense. But in my head, I'm like, yeah, this is crazy that this big thing is driving on the same thing that I'm driving on. And I feel like I don't have that much space. That means you really don't have much space.

Speaker 2:
[37:52] Yeah. I mean, that's accurate.

Speaker 1:
[37:54] OK.

Speaker 2:
[37:54] I mean, I thought that has less space than you.

Speaker 1:
[37:57] OK. Do you understand wireless headphones?

Speaker 2:
[38:00] No, I don't understand how we're talking in a microphone right now and in somebody else's ear, and they get to download and listen to it whenever they feel like it. No, I don't understand that at all. I don't understand radio. I don't understand telephones. I don't understand overnight mail that well, to be honest.

Speaker 1:
[38:17] That actually is a good one. How does it get there so fast?

Speaker 2:
[38:20] Well, I get how it gets there, but mail in general. Fine. It doesn't have to be overnight ground mail, like just mailing a letter. Isn't it crazy? You drop a letter off with an address on it, and it makes it to that address of all of the things. Like there's a whole system. I mean, think how per site, but there's so many things that have to go right for that letter to make it, and nine times out of 10 or higher, 9.9 times out of 10, it's going to make it.

Speaker 1:
[38:53] It's complex, but I feel like that is more understandable than wireless headphones, you know?

Speaker 2:
[38:57] Oh yeah, yeah, TV.

Speaker 1:
[39:00] Yeah, that's nuts.

Speaker 2:
[39:02] Live TV?

Speaker 1:
[39:03] I mean, a computer in general. I'm like, how do you build a website? How are you making this picture look this way?

Speaker 2:
[39:09] I saw this funny reel of this guy talking about this girl on TikTok that was going off on Millennials, and how we need a social media boot camp because we're old. And he was responding to her, and he said, listen, little girl, millennials, we were at the forefront of social media. We were the first ones with Tom as our BFF in our top eight.

Speaker 1:
[39:37] Tom.

Speaker 2:
[39:38] MySpace. And on MySpace, remember you would code, and you could decorate your page with music and wallpaper, but you had to enter in, it was coding. So he's like, don't even get me started.

Speaker 1:
[39:49] You have it so easy. We walked so you could run.

Speaker 2:
[39:52] He said, we walked so you could crawl. That's how he put it. He did say that line, but he's saying, you're not even running. You're crawling. You do nothing. Because we had to work for it.

Speaker 1:
[40:05] I will say I saw something about Millennials vs Gen Z that actually really struck a chord with me. And it was like a meme of somebody with wing, it was Taylor Swift, with winged eyeliner, which the other day I literally sent a text to my friends and said, I want to learn how to do winged eyeliner. And it said, does winged eyeliner make you look like a Millennial? And the conversation around that, with the person that I was following that posted it, was like, imagine people being able to see you. I'm kind of sick of people being like, and I'm somebody that's been worried about this, does this make me look Millennial? But it's like, I am. So why can't I just look like it? Who cares if this eyeliner or the way I wear my jeans or the shoes I'm pairing with my jeans or whatever, makes me look like a Millennial? I'm 36. That's my age. So I don't need to dress like a Gen Z because that might be weird.

Speaker 2:
[41:04] Right.

Speaker 1:
[41:04] Why did it take me seeing this on social media for me to be like, yeah, I'm going to wear my, now I'm not going to wear my infinity scarf and my green little jacket that everybody had. Do you know what I'm talking about? With like a utility jacket. I'm not going to do that, but I can dress my, I guess age appropriate and I can do my eyeliner age appropriately.

Speaker 2:
[41:26] Yeah, however you want.

Speaker 1:
[41:27] However I want.

Speaker 2:
[41:29] There's obviously different trends that sometimes we do, like in the 80s. Blue eyeshadow was a thing.

Speaker 1:
[41:34] Silver eyeshadow was a thing when I was in sixth grade, I remember.

Speaker 2:
[41:38] I was thinking about my college eyeliner the other day and I used to wear white.

Speaker 1:
[41:43] And I was like, what's the effects of that?

Speaker 2:
[41:45] I don't know if it was a thing or just a thing for me. Like was it in or is it just something I did? So it's early 2000s and I would wear white eyeliner.

Speaker 1:
[41:56] I remember like blue eyeliner.

Speaker 2:
[41:58] Mine was white.

Speaker 1:
[41:59] Or like silvery?

Speaker 2:
[42:00] Nope, white. Definitely white.

Speaker 1:
[42:03] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[42:04] And you know, not just in my corners. Not just like a right nerve.

Speaker 1:
[42:11] I wonder what the like beauty, cause some stuff I feel like makeup wise, like it's supposed to like accentuate and make like some, some ways you do your eyeshadow or your eyeliner makes your eyes look bigger, your eyes look brighter, whatever. But some of it's just style, which I feel like the like white eyeliner or the purple, I had purple mascara at one point. That's not to accentuate anything. That's just like style.

Speaker 2:
[42:33] Speaking of makeup, I went to Sephora the other day cause they were having a sale. And I don't know if it's still going on.

Speaker 1:
[42:39] I think it is.

Speaker 2:
[42:39] Okay, so I guess there's different levels. Cause there's, you can, if you're like, I don't know the levels. Am I what?

Speaker 1:
[42:47] Rogue level?

Speaker 2:
[42:48] What are the levels? I don't know them.

Speaker 1:
[42:49] I just know that rogue level had got access to the sale before the common folk did.

Speaker 2:
[42:55] So no, that's not me. I'm not that level. I'm a level down, I guess. I learned this because I was there. So let's just say for the sake, since we don't know the levels, there's like gold, silver, bronze. Maybe I'm silver, maybe I'm bronze. I'm not gold or platinum. I show up and we walk in, and I see online from influencers there's a sale, but I don't know it's only a sale for special people. So I go to Sephora specifically to get some things that I've been waiting to buy. And I walk in and even the guy working is like, oh hey, just FYI, everything's 20 percent off in the whole store. And I'm like, perfect. So I start loading my basket up with these various things that I'm real excited to get at 20 percent off. And then I go to check out and when she tells me my total, like that doesn't seem right, it's supposed to be 20 percent off. So I was like, oh, the sale? And I had given her my phone number or whatever for my account. And she's like, oh, you're not platinum or rogue or gold or whatever it is. And I said, well, also, I said, I didn't know the sale, to be fair, was 20 percent off at all. I said, but when I walked in, the guy working up front told me, hey, FYI, everything in the store is 20 percent off. I said, so I actually put more in my basket than I was going to because eventually, do the math, one of these or two of these items is basically free. Because, you know, yeah, so now she said, oh, our sale for your level starts next week. And I was like, your level. I said, I'm here now and he didn't clarify that.

Speaker 1:
[44:36] You know, like I said, what happened?

Speaker 2:
[44:37] Did you get, I just, I just paid for it. I just bought it. What was I supposed to do?

Speaker 1:
[44:41] Say, say what's the line from big, big mistake.

Speaker 2:
[44:46] Huge. And I walk across the hall to Ulta. I have to go shopping now at Ulta. Even though.

Speaker 1:
[44:53] That would have been so good if you did that.

Speaker 2:
[44:55] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[44:56] I think I would have been like, we'll forget it. I'll come back next week.

Speaker 2:
[45:00] That could be like, I know, but for me, physically getting to the store at Sephora, I just was like, am I going to come back? And some of it, I was shopping for makeup for I Heart Country Festival that's coming up and I needed it and I just was like, okay, lesson learned. Yeah, but what they should do, I get it. They're a business. But when we walked in, he should have said, hey girls, FYI, if you're a platinum, you get 20% off everything in the store. Cool. Then I would know, I don't know if I'm platinum or I'll go find out. But then I already got excited about everything I put in my basket and then I've already checked out and there's a line of people behind me. Am I really going to be like?

Speaker 1:
[45:40] Walk of shame.

Speaker 2:
[45:41] Never mind, I'm leaving. That's just not my-

Speaker 1:
[45:44] I feel like the customer is always right. And if somebody told you, this is what I believe because I did work at the mall for like five or six years. If I told you this was the price or it was marked wrong or something, you have to give them that price. So if that man told you 20% off, they should have been like, oh my gosh, he wasn't supposed to do that, but I'll give it to you.

Speaker 2:
[46:06] Yes, that's what I was kind of waiting for her to do. And my friend, Meredith, was with me. We went to Pilates. And then, well, the girl working did say, because Meredith was like, oh, maybe I'm rogue or whatever it is. And the girl working said, OK, let me look up her number. And then if she is, then I'll honor that for you, too.

Speaker 1:
[46:26] Yeah, so you should have been like, is anybody in this line rogue? Can you vouch for me?

Speaker 2:
[46:31] So she looked at Meredith's number and she was like, oh, sorry, you're regular schmuggler or whatever I am. Your sale starts next week.

Speaker 1:
[46:39] That's, I don't like that.

Speaker 2:
[46:42] Yeah. I feel like we got got when we walked in. And maybe he knew what he was doing. Maybe he didn't. I don't know.

Speaker 1:
[46:48] But it's not like he got credit for the sale.

Speaker 2:
[46:50] No, true. But maybe as a team, they have a goal for the day.

Speaker 1:
[46:55] And that's evil. They got it.

Speaker 2:
[46:59] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[47:00] So. Okay.

Speaker 2:
[47:01] Which speaking of products and shopping and buying things, I and and not Gen Z, but who did I learn this from? A Gen Alpha. My son's friend, James, shout out. He's so cute. He came over to spend the night last weekend, and we stopped by Target to pick up some things. And we got frozen pizzas because we were going to do like a little frozen pizza cook off and taste test and figure out our favorite. And as I'm getting the pizzas, he gets out this app and he just starts scanning them and pulling up in the app like, oh, it gives a score out of a hundred. The app is called Yuka, like Y-U-K-A. And I was like, what are you doing, little boy? No, I didn't say little boy, but it made me think of that millennial guy who was like, listen, little girl. I'm like, hey, young kid, what is this fancy app you have where you're scanning all these things? And he said, oh, it's this app that we use in my family. He's like, it's just to give me information so I can make wise choices.

Speaker 1:
[48:12] He sounds-

Speaker 2:
[48:13] Yeah, he's really smart. And he's like, he Zoom bombs people. He's like a hacker. He's very tech-techy and he did it when we were here. Now, this isn't anything totally crazy, but it is something I don't understand. Like, he's a part of something where he gets access to Zoom codes and he can log in as long as the meeting is public. So while we were having pizza later in the evening, like we got home from Target, we're cooking the pizza, and all of a sudden on his phone, an AA meeting pops up. Like over Zoom, and they're giving the bylaws, and I was like, what are you doing? He goes, oh, I think I just joined this meeting. And I was like, he goes, I'm Zoom bombing. So he can show up-

Speaker 1:
[48:55] Wait, is that kind of like chat roulette where he can just like pop into anything anywhere, and he just pops into somebody's Zoom, like I'm Zooming you and catching up, I'm living in a different state, and like he just shows up in our chat?

Speaker 2:
[49:07] Yes, yes. So he showed up, but his Zoom photo is him as a 14 year old, and he looks like this nerdy little kid.

Speaker 1:
[49:14] He's like in the AA meeting.

Speaker 2:
[49:16] And I'm like, do they know you're in there? And he's like, I don't know, they haven't said anything or seen it yet. And he was like, I ended up in a corporate meeting the other day, like for some business, and I could just see him popping up like his little nerdy picture. And it's something that he, it's like a thing. I was equating it to like maybe back in the day we were kids and we were having a slumber party and eating pizza, we might pick up the phone and prank call somebody, just like from the phone book or dial a random number.

Speaker 1:
[49:44] You would do random?

Speaker 2:
[49:45] Yeah, randoms.

Speaker 1:
[49:46] I feel like we always prank call people we knew.

Speaker 2:
[49:48] Oh, you didn't ever just flip through the yellow page or the white pages?

Speaker 1:
[49:52] Maybe, I don't remember, but I feel like I, the ones I remember, it's like we prank called somebody we knew.

Speaker 2:
[49:57] Okay. Well, we definitely did people we knew, but then I would do, we just call random numbers and do silly things. Like, we'd be like, is Adam there? Okay. Bring, bring. Hello.

Speaker 1:
[50:11] Oh, bring, bring. Hello.

Speaker 2:
[50:13] Is Adam there?

Speaker 1:
[50:15] I think you have the wrong number.

Speaker 2:
[50:17] Oh. Well, you don't know Adam?

Speaker 1:
[50:20] No.

Speaker 2:
[50:21] You don't know Adam? You're supposed to say, Adam who?

Speaker 1:
[50:24] Adam who? And then, Adam who?

Speaker 2:
[50:31] Adam Zwiener.

Speaker 1:
[50:34] Wait.

Speaker 2:
[50:35] What? Zwiener. Zwiener is the last name.

Speaker 1:
[50:41] Well, so is Zwiener.

Speaker 2:
[50:43] It's Adam Zwiener. We were so crazy. And then we were like, ha ha ha, and hang up the phone.

Speaker 1:
[50:49] So anyway, he was popping in on these Zooms and I said, hey, that's an AA man.

Speaker 2:
[50:53] And he was like, ha ha ha, and hang up the phone.

Speaker 1:
[50:54] And he was like, ha ha ha, and hang up the phone.

Speaker 2:
[50:56] And he was like, ha ha ha, and hang up the phone. He was popping in on these Zooms, and I said, hey, that's an AA meeting. And he was like, what's that? And I was like, well, we want to respect these people and things that they're sharing, so hang up on that one. But it was a Saturday night, so I was like, I don't think you're gonna get a corporate meeting or most, yeah, evenings, any evening of the week, there's gonna be AA meetings. But I was like, maybe find another one to Zoom Bomb.

Speaker 1:
[51:25] Does he ever talk in them?

Speaker 2:
[51:28] No, he just gets in and then he gets out.

Speaker 1:
[51:30] It's not like he's like, boop, and then he sleeps.

Speaker 2:
[51:33] He's like, huh, that was fun. What do you want to do next? But the minute I knew right away, what if he gets in a dirty call? Well, he would probably be like, his personality, he'd be like, his Yuka app would scan it and be like, danger, danger.

Speaker 1:
[51:49] Make a wise decision.

Speaker 2:
[51:50] Yeah, he's very cautious. So back to his app. He starts scanning the pizza, and some of the pizzas were getting like a 30, but it wasn't stopping us from buying it. But if the score is zero to 100, 100 obviously is like, you know.

Speaker 1:
[52:17] No bueno?

Speaker 2:
[52:18] No, 100 is.

Speaker 1:
[52:19] Oh, you want 100?

Speaker 2:
[52:20] You want 100, but it's hard to get 100, because 100 is like foods that don't have a barcode.

Speaker 1:
[52:26] Like a carrot?

Speaker 2:
[52:27] Yeah, yeah, from God. God's packaging. Because the barcodes on the fruits and vegetables are just to scan when you're checking out. It's not giving any nutritional data, so the app doesn't really recognize it. So some of the pizzas were like 30 out of 100, which is not a great rating, but at least you have the information. Like eat in-

Speaker 1:
[52:50] It's not a zero.

Speaker 2:
[52:51] It's not a zero. There were some things, I'm not going to say it because I don't want to shame companies, but there was one product we scanned and it was a zero. And I was like, what is in that? What is in that?

Speaker 1:
[53:00] How could it have no nutrition at all?

Speaker 2:
[53:03] I think it has nutrition, but it's ranked on everything it is made of and what it has to offer. Cause it'll do like saturated fat, toxins or chemicals, cholesterol. Like it factors in so many different variables, that zero just means like, I wouldn't eat that. Like, and I, it's not something I eat anyway, but I definitely not going to eat eating it.

Speaker 1:
[53:28] What if it was something?

Speaker 2:
[53:29] Then I would be like, dang, I have to enjoy that in moderation.

Speaker 1:
[53:32] Yeah, which you probably are doing anyway. Yeah. This reminds me of, wasn't there an app called like Dirty or something that?

Speaker 2:
[53:39] Well, cause this one will do products too. Dirty makes me think of products. Who is Yuka for like, yuck, like yuck.

Speaker 1:
[53:48] Cause Dirty, okay, Dirty's products. Cause you talked about Dirty or is it called Dirty?

Speaker 2:
[53:52] I don't know. When have I talked about it, I don't remember. Yes, it's familiar what you're saying, but I didn't know that I talked about it, but no surprise there.

Speaker 1:
[53:59] It was from your ex boyfriend.

Speaker 2:
[54:00] I couldn't even remember Feelings.

Speaker 1:
[54:01] Oh yeah. He had something and I remember you telling me about it. And at first I was like, wait, is this like a dirty app in like a essential app?

Speaker 2:
[54:11] Oh yeah, Dirty.

Speaker 1:
[54:13] Was it called Dirty?

Speaker 2:
[54:15] Question.

Speaker 1:
[54:16] But maybe that was just products and this one does food and products or something.

Speaker 2:
[54:20] Oh, Think Dirty.

Speaker 1:
[54:22] Think Dirty.

Speaker 2:
[54:22] That's it. Yes, he did. He had Think Dirty and I was like, what's that on your phone?

Speaker 1:
[54:26] Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[54:28] What's that app?

Speaker 1:
[54:29] Is that like a new OnlyFans?

Speaker 2:
[54:31] What are you looking at over there? And he's like, frozen pizza. So some of the pizzas were 60. So we bought a variety of pizzas and shout out Good and Gather, which is the Target brand, didn't have the highest score. However, it was the tastiest.

Speaker 1:
[54:48] Really?

Speaker 2:
[54:48] Yeah, I was very impressed. We did Newman's.

Speaker 1:
[54:52] That's my favorite.

Speaker 2:
[54:53] It was so good. And it actually scored higher, but I'm not shocked by that. I think Newman's is known for more quality ingredients. I don't know if it's organic, but they donate. I think with every pizza, 100% isn't all Newman products like profits go to a foundation?

Speaker 1:
[55:12] What?

Speaker 2:
[55:13] I feel like I saw that somewhere. I'll circle back on that.

Speaker 1:
[55:17] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[55:18] Then we did another one called yo dough, like yo, like yo-yo.

Speaker 1:
[55:25] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[55:25] Because the dough was made from yogurt.

Speaker 1:
[55:29] Was that good?

Speaker 2:
[55:30] It actually was good, but I didn't like the toppings, so then it made it bad. So that wasn't my favorite.

Speaker 1:
[55:35] It wasn't like tart-like yogurt?

Speaker 2:
[55:37] No. And it was so that the yogurt, the point of the yogurt was to make it higher in protein, I guess. So anyway, my whole point is an AlphaGen child was at my house and taught me about the Yuka app. Download it if you want, but we started scanning everything. Like we started scanning everything in my pantry. I was sort of shocked by, I had two different types of granola, and one of the granolas got a really high score, and I thought it would get lower than the other, and the other got lower. But again, it's taking in variables that I'm not thinking about. And the one that scored really high, I actually love. And the one that scored low, I'm like, huh. I mean, I'm still gonna eat it. It's not deterring me, but it's just information. But I could see how in the wrong hands, it could be a dangerous tool.

Speaker 1:
[56:22] I was gonna say, I wouldn't recommend this tool for everybody, and I think most of the time we can, it might be interesting and fun for a lot of people.

Speaker 2:
[56:33] Yeah, like we were having fun, like scanning.

Speaker 1:
[56:34] Most of the time, we can just know what we wanna eat and what our body needs and what it doesn't. Some of those, which I think that you probably knew I was gonna have a thought like this.

Speaker 2:
[56:45] I know, that's why I set it up of like, this might not be for everybody, and I get it. With two teenage kids, it wasn't, they don't have any eating disorder stuff, so for us, it was just fun. We were trying to scan everything, and that's when we started scanning the barcode on the bananas, and we're like, oh, there's nothing. We were like, oh my gosh, that's a zero. It was just information.

Speaker 1:
[57:08] Yeah. I feel like if, and maybe this is because of me and my story, but I feel like I would not want that in the hands of a child.

Speaker 2:
[57:19] Yeah, I guess just the discernment of how your child looks at it.

Speaker 1:
[57:24] For him, it's very cute. I'm still gonna eat this, but sometimes I feel like I had too much information about-

Speaker 2:
[57:31] Yeah, like we ate pizza and ice cream right after. I think it's good for children to understand information on the labels to an extent. Yeah, but he's not, I could see where-

Speaker 1:
[57:48] Also, I will say-

Speaker 2:
[57:49] He exhibited, who knows, how Noah Khan has opened up. I'm not saying just because he's a boy, he's excluded from that because I was thinking if it was a girl that maybe had some issues. I think my brain automatically does that, young girl versus young boy, and I shouldn't, and us talking about Noah Khan, that should teach me that. I observed him with the app, and Steven sent a meet and how we were all playing with it, and it was fun. But I guess as a parent, keep an eye out on it. Then as an adult, knowing how you are, you have to discern, is this a good app for me to have or not?

Speaker 1:
[58:20] Yeah. That made me think there's research out there in the world that says, I think it's around third grade, female girls start there. So we all have kind of the same level of confidence. Let's say it's all the same. Starting in third grade, women's take, girls takes a nosedive, and then guys kind of stays the same for a little bit. So it is fair for you to have that assumption that it's mostly a girl thing, because girls usually engage and get hit with that kind of stuff earlier. But then yeah, guys eventually, depending on their environment, changes. But in that third grade, like it starts in third grade.

Speaker 2:
[59:01] So I'm picturing little third grade me.

Speaker 1:
[59:04] And I can relate to that in third grade. Yeah, you start to in third grade, I remember starting to notice things like, I remember at one point I thought that I had fat kneecaps. Like what?

Speaker 2:
[59:15] That's so crazy because my kneecaps used to feel fat. I didn't think I had fat kneecaps. I would feel it, but now that I know maybe how our bodies work, your knee area can hold fluid.

Speaker 1:
[59:29] Were you inflamed?

Speaker 2:
[59:31] Maybe. I mean, sure, some of it could have been totally psychological in my head, but I would have, like it felt, my kneecaps, am I alone in this? I hadn't thought about this in a long time, but the tops of my knees would feel like if I was having a particularly, like what I would call, quote unquote, like fat day.

Speaker 1:
[59:50] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[59:51] I remember my kneecaps feeling so heavy. I didn't look down at them and think, oh, my kneecaps, but I would feel it.

Speaker 1:
[59:57] I bet that's a little psychosomatic kind of like, because I'm feeling this, then I'm feeling that, like.

Speaker 2:
[60:04] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:
[60:04] Interesting.

Speaker 2:
[60:05] Related in that way.

Speaker 1:
[60:05] But that's just an example of like, you think people just like look at their arms or their stomachs or whatever. It's like, no, I took it down to the kneecaps. Like, what?

Speaker 2:
[60:16] I'm thinking about myself that what I know now, I've been like, dang, all I had to do is like, you can pump behind your knees. Did you know behind your knees is a lymphatic drain?

Speaker 1:
[60:25] Yeah, I did. But back then, I wouldn't even recommend that. I'd be like, just stare at your knee, and I need you to normalize the fact that your knee's okay.

Speaker 2:
[60:31] See, but I didn't think my knee looked fat though. So how would I? It just felt.

Speaker 1:
[60:37] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[60:37] Like I felt.

Speaker 1:
[60:38] But we don't, so we don't know if you actually did need, because we don't know and because your brain was probably so convoluted back then. We don't know if you felt that because like, because sometimes I'll like, that's like a body checking thing we'll do, we'll like feel to make sure. And like, I might feel my neck and it might feel fat because I am in my brain feeling fat, but it's not actually any different than it was yesterday or the day before or whatever. Does that make sense?

Speaker 2:
[61:05] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, gotcha.

Speaker 1:
[61:06] But we don't know that because we're not back in time, but I would, I would, I, as a professional, I wouldn't recommend us like finding a way to drain your fat. I would find a way for you to like normalize and sit with that feeling.

Speaker 2:
[61:22] So here was my thought process on it now. It's like, what if I was, because I would have a binge cycles or whatever, I would be likely be consuming a lot of calories and high sodium or things. So I'm seeing a fluid was getting stuck. If I wasn't also hydrated, we would just probably have you drink some water. Probably drink some water with a pinch of salt. Okay. Well, use that app with care. Apps. How do they work?

Speaker 1:
[61:56] How do they, and how do people just build apps? Some people are like, oh, I'm building an app. How, how are you?

Speaker 2:
[62:03] I know.

Speaker 1:
[62:04] And how do you get like, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[62:06] It's not us.

Speaker 1:
[62:07] You know what? How does airdrop work?

Speaker 2:
[62:10] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[62:12] That picture just hops from my phone to your phone. How's it getting there?

Speaker 2:
[62:16] I know. These are crazy times.

Speaker 1:
[62:18] Crazy times.

Speaker 2:
[62:19] Waymo.

Speaker 1:
[62:19] If somebody knows, I would say explain it to us, but we're not going to be able to follow.

Speaker 2:
[62:24] No, not at all. I can barely follow like what was going on with my kneecaps a long time ago. So, or my knee, upper knee, upper knee. I don't have, I don't ever feel it anymore. It was mostly when I was...

Speaker 1:
[62:36] Well, that makes sense. That makes sense.

Speaker 2:
[62:38] Cause my brain is doing better. You're right. It was all in my head. Good times. All right. Well, we hope where ever y'all are, you are thinking about leaving us a voicemail on the hotline.
