Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hey, the folks.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
In this episode, a salesperson refers to as my wife
and I do not correct her. Also, are we really
the only ones who fell for it? When Verbo said,
you get the whole place to yourself. Also in this episode,
expect a new salacious headline about the two of us
(00:24):
any moment now and swollen face, black eyes, and dry heaving.
It has been a rough few days for Amy Robach
and with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and
TJ Roades.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Wow, is nothing sacred?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Is nothing sacred? Where did I come?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I mean, anybody who's seen you the past few days,
they've seen swollen eyes and black eyes, the dry heaving.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Maybe I maybe that, but none of that is incorrect.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I sound like the most amazing companion ever who wouldn't
want to be my boy friend?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
We all go through it, We go through it. Everybody
has ugly moments. Yours just happened in a really short time.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
And they're voluntary for whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Robes is fine everybody, But we talked about your the
vampire facial. Yeah, vampire facial. We had to go back
for another session, and this one, I have to say,
baby was worse. I mean, the results say the results,
but you came out looking.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Like I had been in a couple of rounds in
the ring. Yes, I know, you just can never predict
how your face is going to react. So yes, they
take out blood from my arm, just like you get
an ivy.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
They pull out blood, they spin my platelets around.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
That's about as technical as I'm going to be able
to get, and then they reinject it in certain parts
of your face where you would like rejuvenation.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
So the idea is that your own.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Platelets, your own blood, is just like rejuvenating and the
trauma I guess of getting it in there creates like collagen,
all these things that are way above my actual knowledge
of how your skin and body works. But I'm told
that it's a rejuvenating process, and it's in lieu of
doing like other things like fillers. I don't I personally
don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
To get the stuff where it needs to be around
your eyes, I have to put.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Needles, right, Oh, there are lots of needles.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Okay, but you come out you do. We have been
very swollen the past several days, and you look like
you have black eyes.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Right, So I've been wearing sunglasses inside folks.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
We were at a sports bar in the middle of
the day. Well I don't even.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Can't remember where we were, but you were the sunglasses
in the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
But thankfully I could still watch the soccer game, the
euro Cup. It was great.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Still had a blast. But yes, I'm ready to take
the sunglasses off. I took them off. Now I think
it's okay, it's getting better.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It's better today, but it's healing. But the other I
mentioned the dry heaving. We are in the middle of
marathon training for Chicago. You've talked about this before. We
too have some stomach issues sometimes with the coffe seemed
like you corrected that. But when he gets too hot
to too humid, we got issues.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, it was I know I'm not good when it's
humid out. So we had a long run this weekend,
seven miles and I got it.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
We're supposed to have We're supposed.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
To have a seven miler this weekend.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
And I got one point seven two miles in and
I had to stop, and yes, I was off the
side of the road.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Dry heaving. And then I was like, okay, I can
do this.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
And I made it another one point seven miles and
had to stop and finally said, babe, we're done, Like,
we're not going to keep trying to do.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So I was like, no, I said, you said.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I was like, I was like, I can just keep
doing this. You're like, I can't.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I'm not going to stop and start while you go
off to the side of the road and make noises.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
And what was the name of that trail. It was
a beautiful new trail. We were trying at this memorial
park that had these old Worldward two planes. It was
a beautiful setup. The weather was perfect that morning.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It was really humid. Did I mention.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
It wasn't as hot as it's been. We are in
the middle of a heat wave, so we got up early.
But the humidity for me just did me in. And
I don't know, again, I felt really bad, especially when
you have a partner running with you. You know that they're
stopping when you stop, and so it's I feel a
little bit guilty.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
If it was just me, I would.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Have probably quit even sooner and said I'm gonna save
that for tomorrow. But I'm gonna get the seven miles in,
And you did wait for me, so we're gonna try
to get that in and we will.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It's just, you know, it's a reminder.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I always appreciate when I hear other people who, whether
you're a runner or whatever thing you do, you're not
always gonna have easy runs. You're not always gonna be
in your best shape. You're gonna have to stop. Sometimes
you're gonna have to punch, You're gonna have to wait
till the next day.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
And I don't like thinking that I can't.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
But I also appreciate when other people are honest about
these types of training. For you know, a major, major
event like a marathon, it's not easy, and it doesn't
matter how many you've done. It's never easy. I don't
find that somehow I get better when i'm running it.
It's just it's a part of conditioning, and part of
a conditioning process is sometimes not doing well and having
(05:06):
to stop.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
But one point seven two miles we just started.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I know I'm not proud of it, but I'm gonna
be honest.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I'm teasing you that I'm there and it's no a
big deal. And I told you, do not push yourself,
do not push your butt, Do not worry about me
at all. You're my running partner. We're out here for
a run together. So if you're not finishing, I'm not finishing,
And that's fine. But to your point, you've run, you
got five or six marathons under your belt, and there
are a lot of people who try to get into
running and one mile is too hard. Look, folks who
(05:32):
run five or six marathons go out there sometimes and
say to hell with this. So the body doesn't work.
So that's okay, folks, yep, take that if you're out
there running, take that as an inspiration to know you're
not alone.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I couldn't get past one point seven two miles, So
that happened. And that's just not something that I say
very often, but it happened. And I will say. You
stopped and said, wow, I was like having the best
run it ever right, And then I felt even worse
because you were the opposite experience, which is rare too.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Does that mean to say that how great my run
was going?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
No, I was happy for you, and then I felt
extra guilty. But it's okay.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It was fine, and we had a good we had
a good time. We had a good weekend. We were
we were out of town for the weekend. We ended
up doing a little well. We got a verbal. We
just wanted to get out of town for a couple
of days and get away. Now Verbo, everybody's familiar with
verbal Airbnb people use them all the time. Verbo had
(06:30):
a whole campaign right about by comparing themselves to I
think Airbnb so a certain degree, saying you get the
whole place to yourself.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Which we've laughed at, yes versus versus what.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
You're supposed to. That's the point. That's why I didn't
go to a hotel.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
That's why I'm renting a house, yes, so I can
have the whole place to myself.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But the other thing they had was called only your people, right,
that was the whole big campaign, saying that you've rented
this place only your people that are going to be there.
So Rose and I we put the top down, we
hit the road. You couldn't see too happier people, oh,
going down the road trying to get to this place.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Even in the traffic. We were just happy to be
out of town.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So finally a couple hours drive and were pulling up
to this Airbnb and we're coming up on the water.
We like, we nailed it. This is going to be great.
We pull up to the parking lot to the driveway
to pull into the place and we see two three
was it four people sitting outside on this deck, music
(07:32):
blaring as we pull in to the place where we're
going to.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Be staying correct, and we knew it was a bungalow
off of the main house, but they I had said
to them, you know, definitely want to make sure that
we've got privacy.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Of course, of course we were not a bungalow.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
It was connected to the house like we were in
a part of the house basically. And to make matters worse, please,
when we got up into the bungalow, their house looked
directly into our bungal ho so there and they were
not putting their blinds up. There was no separation, and
(08:08):
they said, don't worry. You have the whole backyard to ourselves.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Which was beautiful, gorgeous. Didn't use it one damn time
because they.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Looked onto us.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
It was like we were in a fish bowl and
the people who were in the main house just got
to look at us and that would be their sport,
like we were their netflix.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Basically, I was like, how is this possible? So here
we have this gorgeous.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
View and we have to close the curtains. And then
we remembered the Verbo campaign. We thought, well, this is
maybe perhaps what they were trying to combat against.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
But we got stuck into a situation.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Where we were absolutely totally uncomfortable in the place we
were staying.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You know what it felt to me like, you go
home to visit your parents and you're staying maybe in
the other bedroom or another part of the house, and
you got to kind of be quiet. I felt like
the whole time we were there that somebody was watching us.
We had to be careful.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It was.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It was a horrible experience to be quiet, honest, But
for us, you and I we are used to making
lemonade and we had a good time. We're always going
to have a good time together. But it was a
wild disappointment to show up to that verbal and that's
there was a there was a white family of five.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Staring at us, saying the entire time and so, yes,
we never once used the hot tub, We never once
used the fire pit, we never once used the outdoor shower.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I was like, that's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
They were actually putting that on the list as things,
you know, for you to be able to enjoy like
all these great extras, and do you think I'm going
to go into that outdoor shower with the their like
actual windows looking directly over it. It was hilarious. I
don't know how that happened. We did make the best
(09:46):
of it, but basically we made the best of it
by not being at the verbal that we actually hoped
to relax and not do anything.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
We ended up going to the outlet mall.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You were surprised. I'm an outlet.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I forget that. You love outlet malls.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
So we passed by it on the way to the
run that didn't really happen, and you said, oh my gosh,
look Tanger outlets.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Would you want to go?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
And I was just actually thinking he's not going to
want to go, So I was like nah, And then
I remembered, wait, my guy outlet mall. So he said,
are you sure you don't want to go, because I'd
like to go. I was like, you wait, one hundred percent,
let's go.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Is that weird?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Emma's laughing, that's weird that I like outlet malls. Why
is that weird?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Don't don't knock it.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
It is an amazing thing to have a boyfriend who
likes to shop at an outlet made get absolute first
from me, so we were able to take advantage of that.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Oh it's so fun. And you were just going into stores.
I was like, I didn't have to say, can we
go here?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You knew the stores. I like, we were walking in.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
What were that two hours?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I got one shirt, that's true, But Sabine got a
lot of really cute things.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I had, Yes, bags, Yes are you wearing? I am?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I am?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I am?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
And Diamond here in the studio today told me she
liked my white skirt and I said, thanks, I got
it at.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
An outlet this weekend, my favorite.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
So as we were shopping though, at that outlet mall,
which which store?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh it was the was it theory? It was where
you were trying on all that stuff? They were very helpful.
They were, oh my god, why can't they.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
The shirt, the one shirt, one shirt you got? You
tried on all those pants, the white pants that you
get and didn't get. I was had, Oh my god,
why can't we think of the name of the store.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It was theory. It wasn't theory.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
It was not theory.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
We went to theory, but this was the other one
that we went to the store.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I can see it. I can see the shirt. I
can see the raging ball.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Ragging ball, okay came raging ball.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So they were great to us. But they had.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
The the dressing rooms lined up, just a plain curtain,
and I go into one and the lady's being really helpful.
I'm in, they're changing and I can hear a voice.
She's saying, sir, you're all right, and she's having a
full conversation with me through the curtain, to the point
it almost got uncomfortable, and I thought she was going
to come in, but she's soon in Holland she's been very,
(12:16):
very nice, very helpful. You were two dressing rooms down
and she's done with me. Finally she said, okay, I'm
going to go check on your wife. I stick my
head out. I didn't correct her. I just said, oh,
didn't didn't answer her at all. And then later we
go to the we were checking out and we were laughed.
She said, you guys are so cute and no, listen,
(12:37):
she said, you guys boyfriend, a girlfriend, a husband and
wife And my answer was both.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
And I think they thought that we were a husband
and wife. And it was sweet that you were also
saying I'm your girlfriend too. Is she your wife or
your girlfriend? And you said both and they said, good answer,
wait to couch it.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I didn't take it the way You're right. They still
think you're my wife. And they thought the girlfriend part
was the sweet part.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
They thought it was sweet.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Did you still consider me like your girlfriend even though yes,
I'm the ball and chain?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
But that is how they reviewing it.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
What's the correct what's the correct way to do? And
she says, I'm going to check on your wife or
your boyfriend girlfriend?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Husband?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Wife?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
What do you do with that? Just has a correct somebody.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I wouldn't correct somebody, no, because I mean I think
we both said. I think a lot of folks. I
mean I would never take offense to that. That's an
honest assumption. At our age where you have a thing.
Have we talked about this partly your friend? He said,
when you're over a certain age.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
You don't have boyfriend and girlfriend anymore. It's ridiculous, you sound,
you sound silly. If you're a forty year old woman
talking about my boyfriend.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
It does feel weird to be like my boyfriend's coming.
But I don't know what else to say.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It's his thing, and you haven't heard him do this
whole He does a whole bit about this. So the
next time we're out, I'll have him get into it,
and he will get on to you to the point
you will want to go get married that night because
he will make you feel silly for having a boyfriend.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Because I'm too old to have a boyfriend. And so
that is where I'm sure they were coming from that place.
But it was fun still, and neither one of us
corrected them.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
No, they had a nice ring to it. I didn't
mind it at all, but did neither.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
We were out of town in kind in the Hampton's
that direction, but we were there because we wanted to
get out of town. We want to get out of
town because not just because of the heat, and it's
been crazy hot here and a lot of folks want
a little relief, but we wanted to be able to
relax and not be chased. We have had a couple
(14:29):
of days back to back days in which we have
been pursued and to the point of harassed by a
couple of photographers, members of the paparazzi. I guess you
could argue, And so with that our idea was to
get out of town. The verbal didn't work out necessarily,
(14:50):
but that's all we say. We have seen plenty of
times in our experience over the past year and a half.
But yes, sometimes photographers, or you go to an event,
folks will be standing right outside the door waiting for
you to walk out. They're right there waiting and they'll
take your picture.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Yeah, they'll say your name, you'll say hi, you smile,
You let them have their picture.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
You move on. That's part of life in the public eye.
We get that.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We get it this though we know something else is
up and something is afoot. When photographers are hiding, when
they're chasing you and they're hiding trying to make sure
you do not see them, that is not honest. And
that is in our experience, has been when they're trying
(15:32):
to get something compromising or or something that even looks
a little off, then they can attach whatever headline they
want to a picture. And that is not in good faith.
And that is why we wanted to get out of town.
But it's also now why we're just waiting.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
It's one of those things that we've learned the hard
way the past year. Because yes, when you have the
clandestine photographers who don't want you to see them, who
want to catch you doing something, whether it's having a
look on your face or us not holding hands, or
us our body language where we're walking a little further
apart than we normally would have, but they want to
catch you where they can then say, aha, we want
(16:10):
to write this story, and we can apply whatever story
we want and use this picture to prove it. So
it's they tell you for days, trying to get you
to do the thing or look a certain way that
will bolster whatever it is they want to write. And
the maddening thing about that is, then, yes, you're kind
of waiting for the shoe to drop. I mean you're
kind of waiting to see what is this headline going
(16:31):
to be? What are they going to say? And it
really can get in your head and create a lot
of anxiety because you're waiting for something bad to happen,
because you know that they wouldn't be out there hiding
if it was something positive or.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Oh, just legit, let's just say legit. It don't necessarily
have to be positive for us. If they were this
is a legitimate story, they would call our people and
say we're about to write this. Can we get comment,
we'd say yes, so we say no. When we walk
out and a guy is lit to relate. Okay, first
of all, he's a little overweight to think he's gonna
hide behind a light pole. Okay, that pole is not
(17:04):
wide enough. Lesta not be able to see you, homie,
sir and off walking down and he has got his
iPhone out. He's trying to take video of us. I
see his long lens. We cut through the park. He
runs and gets ahead of us and is hiding behind
a delivery truck. Once we get through the park, and
(17:24):
so we have to circle back and turn around and
do this and finally lose that guy.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
The other one really pissed me off.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, because we were having a nice dinner and a
very important conversation.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah, yeah, we were having a conversation. We were sitting
and not even that well displayed outside. We were kind
of tucked away. But sure enough you saw and we
were having like a very important conversation.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
You saw a lens.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Over the top of a vehicle. And I have to say,
I don't ever see any of this. I'm situationally unaware.
I know it drives you crazy, But I'm amazed you.
Your head is always on a swivel, which is a
tough thing to constantly have to do. You know, you're
always a little bit on edge and a little bit
on guard. But you saw it and you were like,
we gotta get up and we had some help.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Oh my god. You know what.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
We want to give credit.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
We do want to give them credit. We were at
we were at the Roxy. It's and we say, down
to Tribeca, the Roxley Hotel there that we love and
they know us and we've been going there for a while.
But we were sitting outside having the dinner. And yet
if you can imagine this, folks, we can't show it
to you, but just a truck, an suv or something,
and imagine the only thing you see, and that that
parked suv is a camera long land sitting on top
(18:37):
of it. You couldn't even see the photographer's body. And
that's how he was trying to get the picture of
us while we were sitting.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
And we picked up.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
We went inside and the guy uh about he was
about five six.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
He had on a.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Red polo ships and a hat, and he moved and
started hiding and dipping and everywhere could see him out
the front door and the folks at the roxy, I
just said, hey, you guys have another interest in say
who we were or another exit. I didn't say who
we were nothing. I said, no, I really don't have anything.
They were nice, moved on. The manager comes a little
while later and tracks I think you down first. It
(19:09):
tracks you down first.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
And says what and says, I can get you guys
out through the back door if that would help, And
we just said thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
And so sure enough we went.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Through the kitchen area and out where the employees go through,
and we were able to get an uber to pull
right up and get out of there. And as we
were leaving, I think you saw him still waiting for
us to walk out.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
That's like the little victory in this, Like he I
don't know, it was hot. I don't know how long
you had to wait.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
He probably could not understand where we went or why
we didn't come back out, but we lost him, and
then we got out of town the next.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Day and we so and again, this isn't a thing.
Yeah this is.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
It's a part of it to a certain degree. But
that's that kind of thing where they're hiding behind vehicles
and trying to make sure they don't see you there
and trying to cat that's that's just annoying, and it's
difficult and it's frustrating, and it got us to get
out of town and get a verse. That's the privacy
we so desperately saw it.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
At least they didn't have long lenses over on the
other side of the window.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
They didn't need it right there on a full display
for them.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I will say this is another way we made lemonade.
It definitely pushed us to get out of the city
and we ended up having some fun experiences.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's in great spot. I can't remember the name. A
couple of spots, the one we sat outside on them
I wanted to give them. They were wonderful, wonderful spots
we went to and everybody was great. But you make
lemonade and we made the best out of it. But
we want to give you all the heads up because
this is how it goes. Sometimes we're just waiting for
whatever headline to come. I want everybody's help here as
we close on this one thing. Robes and Emma was
(20:51):
talking about it a second and maybe it's a woman thing.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
The phones.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Okay, why is it when you're with someone, they're looking
Why is it that people constantly are putting their phone
in your face because they want you to see the
TikTok video somebody just saw sent them. They want you
to see the text message they just received. They want
you to see this picture. They want you And if
(21:17):
you as much as we're all on our phones and
being just entertained, there's a lot of stuff. You might
turn that phone around. Ooh look, oh, look, oh look.
And between you and Sabine, an eleven year old who
is on her phone all the time, it's constant on
the left, she's putting it in my face to show
me something from TikTok. On all right, you're showing me.
(21:38):
I don't even know what you show me.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
You show show your stuff from Instagram. I show you
stuff the girl. The girls are sending me stuff from
instag from TikTok. But now Sabina and I actually just
show each other good. We're we're we're happy to receive.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
But why why is that a thing? Do you think?
For so many and why is it driving me so greaty?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
It's driving you crazy? And you know what, it's funny.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I know it drives you crazy, and somehow how I
still get all caught up in the excitement of wanting
to show you something.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I forget that it drives you crazy.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
But I think it's just I think maybe it is
a female thing, because my daughters and I do it
to each other and we're like, look at this, look
at this, and we were even talking here You're surrounded
by women in this room and we're all laughing because
we do it to each other.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
But I don't see men doing that to each other
or to me.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
So I really do think it might be more of
a female thing where we're connecting, we're sharing, we're and
you're just not that into it.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
No, that's fair, But yeah, I thought about it that way.
I'm like, going to dinner with my guys. We not
not once has Chuck ever picked up his phone and say, ooh,
look at this video.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Have you seen this cat?
Speaker 5 (22:42):
See?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:42):
I mean it's like, you know, it's animal videos, it's
it's children videos, it's I know, I do think. I
hate to generalize, but I do think this is probably
a woman thing.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Okay, Mostly I am.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Thinking, you're excited about something and you laugh, so you
want everybody else to laugh and you want to.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
It comes from a good place of wanting to to
bring someone else into the joy or the laughter or
something that was silly, like we have fall videos, like
we have shared those.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
You did watch that one that Annelie sent me that
you liked.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
That was the one I remember you kind of were
okay with watching, but I think you'd rather have me
just put it up on the TV.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Okay, you know, I will make it. I need to
make some kind of a deal with you here. I
if you will stop putting your phone in my face, okay,
I will happily take selfies with you.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Oh that is something I can get behind, because.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Give you one a day.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Okay, Well, we already had to discuss this.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
So every time we go somewhere, I want to document
and I want to get you know, and I'm not
going to ask someone else to.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Take our picture. So I want to do a selfie
with him.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
And it drives him crazy, so he'll pout, he'll make
a face, or you like, you make a little cloudy face,
you make a face that you know I can't actually
use a picture.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Okay, yeah, okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
And then or you hide your face or at the
last minute, like you look like you're gonna smile and
you're gonna participate with me, and then you just duck
your head when the actual picture gets taken. Its just
so I have all these outtakes of all these pictures
that are all not good because you sabotage them. So yes,
if you and then eventually you usually do give me one.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
But it's like a it's an effort.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
It's just turning on and off with a smile. That
is just it's just it's a lot. And you about
to talk about the guy.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
So we're at the restaurant and we see this couple
and you see she wants him to take a selfie
with her, and I said, look, see, look he's taking
a selfie with her, and she takes me he his
smile turns into like an absolute like nothing face three
seconds or one second after the victure was taken. So
then it was hilarious. I'm like, Okay, clearly he doesn't
(24:47):
like taking them either. Okay, fine, but we're about to
go on vacation, and so I appreciate I get one
selfie a day.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
That's it. That's tough.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Fair. What's fair? Though, you know, it's just it's so much.
It's what's fair.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
We will then go okay, all right, but I feel
like yes, and when you look back at the pictures,
you like them. They're fun to reminisce and to see
where we were and what we were like and what
we were doing.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I don't think I've taken a single selfie that I
was like, wow, that came out well, like wow, I'm
glad I took that one.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Not one.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Okay, well, but that's exciting that you're at least open
to one a day.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
But part of the agreement you have to stop sticking
the phone in my face every time.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
That is something I can absolutely start this, all right,
it's a deal.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
All right, folks. You know where to find us.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
You can see all of our selfies on our Instagram pages,
but you can also find the show on our official
show page at Amy and TJ Podcast on Instagram. I
think we got it this week. We got somewhere on
this one, baby.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I love it. Progress, the
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Gat, the cat
Hey, the folks.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
In this episode, a salesperson refers to as my wife
and I do not correct her. Also, are we really
the only ones who fell for it? When Verbo said,
you get the whole place to yourself. Also in this episode,
expect a new salacious headline about the two of us
(00:24):
any moment now and swollen face, black eyes, and dry heaving.
It has been a rough few days for Amy Robach
and with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and
TJ Roades.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Wow, is nothing sacred?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Is nothing sacred? Where did I come?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I mean, anybody who's seen you the past few days,
they've seen swollen eyes and black eyes, the dry heaving.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Maybe I maybe that, but none of that is incorrect.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
I sound like the most amazing companion ever who wouldn't
want to be my boy friend?
Speaker 2 (01:00):
We all go through it, We go through it. Everybody
has ugly moments. Yours just happened in a really short time.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
And they're voluntary for whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Robes is fine everybody, But we talked about your the
vampire facial. Yeah, vampire facial. We had to go back
for another session, and this one, I have to say,
baby was worse. I mean, the results say the results,
but you came out looking.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Like I had been in a couple of rounds in
the ring. Yes, I know, you just can never predict
how your face is going to react. So yes, they
take out blood from my arm, just like you get
an ivy.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
They pull out blood, they spin my platelets around.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
That's about as technical as I'm going to be able
to get, and then they reinject it in certain parts
of your face where you would like rejuvenation.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
So the idea is that your own.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Platelets, your own blood, is just like rejuvenating and the
trauma I guess of getting it in there creates like collagen,
all these things that are way above my actual knowledge
of how your skin and body works. But I'm told
that it's a rejuvenating process, and it's in lieu of
doing like other things like fillers. I don't I personally
don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
To get the stuff where it needs to be around
your eyes, I have to put.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Needles, right, Oh, there are lots of needles.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Okay, but you come out you do. We have been
very swollen the past several days, and you look like
you have black eyes.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Right, So I've been wearing sunglasses inside folks.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
We were at a sports bar in the middle of
the day. Well I don't even.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Can't remember where we were, but you were the sunglasses
in the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
But thankfully I could still watch the soccer game, the
euro Cup. It was great.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
Still had a blast. But yes, I'm ready to take
the sunglasses off. I took them off. Now I think
it's okay, it's getting better.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It's better today, but it's healing. But the other I
mentioned the dry heaving. We are in the middle of
marathon training for Chicago. You've talked about this before. We
too have some stomach issues sometimes with the coffe seemed
like you corrected that. But when he gets too hot
to too humid, we got issues.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Yeah, it was I know I'm not good when it's
humid out. So we had a long run this weekend,
seven miles and I got it.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
We're supposed to have We're supposed.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
To have a seven miler this weekend.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
And I got one point seven two miles in and
I had to stop, and yes, I was off the
side of the road.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Dry heaving. And then I was like, okay, I can
do this.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
And I made it another one point seven miles and
had to stop and finally said, babe, we're done, Like,
we're not going to keep trying to do.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So I was like, no, I said, you said.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I was like, I was like, I can just keep
doing this. You're like, I can't.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I'm not going to stop and start while you go
off to the side of the road and make noises.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
And what was the name of that trail. It was
a beautiful new trail. We were trying at this memorial
park that had these old Worldward two planes. It was
a beautiful setup. The weather was perfect that morning.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
It was really humid. Did I mention.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
It wasn't as hot as it's been. We are in
the middle of a heat wave, so we got up early.
But the humidity for me just did me in. And
I don't know, again, I felt really bad, especially when
you have a partner running with you. You know that they're
stopping when you stop, and so it's I feel a
little bit guilty.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
If it was just me, I would.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Have probably quit even sooner and said I'm gonna save
that for tomorrow. But I'm gonna get the seven miles in,
And you did wait for me, so we're gonna try
to get that in and we will.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
It's just, you know, it's a reminder.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
I always appreciate when I hear other people who, whether
you're a runner or whatever thing you do, you're not
always gonna have easy runs. You're not always gonna be
in your best shape. You're gonna have to stop. Sometimes
you're gonna have to punch, You're gonna have to wait
till the next day.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
And I don't like thinking that I can't.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
But I also appreciate when other people are honest about
these types of training. For you know, a major, major
event like a marathon, it's not easy, and it doesn't
matter how many you've done. It's never easy. I don't
find that somehow I get better when i'm running it.
It's just it's a part of conditioning, and part of
a conditioning process is sometimes not doing well and having
(05:06):
to stop.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
But one point seven two miles we just started.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
I know I'm not proud of it, but I'm gonna
be honest.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I'm teasing you that I'm there and it's no a
big deal. And I told you, do not push yourself,
do not push your butt, Do not worry about me
at all. You're my running partner. We're out here for
a run together. So if you're not finishing, I'm not finishing,
And that's fine. But to your point, you've run, you
got five or six marathons under your belt, and there
are a lot of people who try to get into
running and one mile is too hard. Look, folks who
(05:32):
run five or six marathons go out there sometimes and
say to hell with this. So the body doesn't work.
So that's okay, folks, yep, take that if you're out
there running, take that as an inspiration to know you're
not alone.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
I couldn't get past one point seven two miles, So
that happened. And that's just not something that I say
very often, but it happened. And I will say. You
stopped and said, wow, I was like having the best
run it ever right, And then I felt even worse
because you were the opposite experience, which is rare too.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Does that mean to say that how great my run
was going?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
No, I was happy for you, and then I felt
extra guilty. But it's okay.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
It was fine, and we had a good we had
a good time. We had a good weekend. We were
we were out of town for the weekend. We ended
up doing a little well. We got a verbal. We
just wanted to get out of town for a couple
of days and get away. Now Verbo, everybody's familiar with
verbal Airbnb people use them all the time. Verbo had
(06:30):
a whole campaign right about by comparing themselves to I
think Airbnb so a certain degree, saying you get the
whole place to yourself.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Which we've laughed at, yes versus versus what.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
You're supposed to. That's the point. That's why I didn't
go to a hotel.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
That's why I'm renting a house, yes, so I can
have the whole place to myself.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But the other thing they had was called only your people, right,
that was the whole big campaign, saying that you've rented
this place only your people that are going to be there.
So Rose and I we put the top down, we
hit the road. You couldn't see too happier people, oh,
going down the road trying to get to this place.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Even in the traffic. We were just happy to be
out of town.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So finally a couple hours drive and were pulling up
to this Airbnb and we're coming up on the water.
We like, we nailed it. This is going to be great.
We pull up to the parking lot to the driveway
to pull into the place and we see two three
was it four people sitting outside on this deck, music
(07:32):
blaring as we pull in to the place where we're
going to.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Be staying correct, and we knew it was a bungalow
off of the main house, but they I had said
to them, you know, definitely want to make sure that
we've got privacy.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Of course, of course we were not a bungalow.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
It was connected to the house like we were in
a part of the house basically. And to make matters worse, please,
when we got up into the bungalow, their house looked
directly into our bungal ho so there and they were
not putting their blinds up. There was no separation, and
(08:08):
they said, don't worry. You have the whole backyard to ourselves.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Which was beautiful, gorgeous. Didn't use it one damn time
because they.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Looked onto us.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
It was like we were in a fish bowl and
the people who were in the main house just got
to look at us and that would be their sport,
like we were their netflix.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Basically, I was like, how is this possible? So here
we have this gorgeous.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
View and we have to close the curtains. And then
we remembered the Verbo campaign. We thought, well, this is
maybe perhaps what they were trying to combat against.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
But we got stuck into a situation.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Where we were absolutely totally uncomfortable in the place we
were staying.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You know what it felt to me like, you go
home to visit your parents and you're staying maybe in
the other bedroom or another part of the house, and
you got to kind of be quiet. I felt like
the whole time we were there that somebody was watching us.
We had to be careful.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It was.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
It was a horrible experience to be quiet, honest, But
for us, you and I we are used to making
lemonade and we had a good time. We're always going
to have a good time together. But it was a
wild disappointment to show up to that verbal and that's
there was a there was a white family of five.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Staring at us, saying the entire time and so, yes,
we never once used the hot tub, We never once
used the fire pit, we never once used the outdoor shower.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I was like, that's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
They were actually putting that on the list as things,
you know, for you to be able to enjoy like
all these great extras, and do you think I'm going
to go into that outdoor shower with the their like
actual windows looking directly over it. It was hilarious. I
don't know how that happened. We did make the best
(09:46):
of it, but basically we made the best of it
by not being at the verbal that we actually hoped
to relax and not do anything.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
We ended up going to the outlet mall.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You were surprised. I'm an outlet.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
I forget that. You love outlet malls.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
So we passed by it on the way to the
run that didn't really happen, and you said, oh my gosh,
look Tanger outlets.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Would you want to go?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
And I was just actually thinking he's not going to
want to go, So I was like nah, And then
I remembered, wait, my guy outlet mall. So he said,
are you sure you don't want to go, because I'd
like to go. I was like, you wait, one hundred percent,
let's go.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Is that weird?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Emma's laughing, that's weird that I like outlet malls. Why
is that weird?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Don't don't knock it.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
It is an amazing thing to have a boyfriend who
likes to shop at an outlet made get absolute first
from me, so we were able to take advantage of that.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Oh it's so fun. And you were just going into stores.
I was like, I didn't have to say, can we
go here?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You knew the stores. I like, we were walking in.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
What were that two hours?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
I got one shirt, that's true, But Sabine got a
lot of really cute things.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I had, Yes, bags, Yes are you wearing? I am?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I am?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I am?
Speaker 4 (11:03):
And Diamond here in the studio today told me she
liked my white skirt and I said, thanks, I got
it at.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
An outlet this weekend, my favorite.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
So as we were shopping though, at that outlet mall,
which which store?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Oh it was the was it theory? It was where
you were trying on all that stuff? They were very helpful.
They were, oh my god, why can't they.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
The shirt, the one shirt, one shirt you got? You
tried on all those pants, the white pants that you
get and didn't get. I was had, Oh my god,
why can't we think of the name of the store.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
It was theory. It wasn't theory.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
It was not theory.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
We went to theory, but this was the other one
that we went to the store.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
I can see it. I can see the shirt. I
can see the raging ball.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Ragging ball, okay came raging ball.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So they were great to us. But they had.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
The the dressing rooms lined up, just a plain curtain,
and I go into one and the lady's being really helpful.
I'm in, they're changing and I can hear a voice.
She's saying, sir, you're all right, and she's having a
full conversation with me through the curtain, to the point
it almost got uncomfortable, and I thought she was going
to come in, but she's soon in Holland she's been very,
(12:16):
very nice, very helpful. You were two dressing rooms down
and she's done with me. Finally she said, okay, I'm
going to go check on your wife. I stick my
head out. I didn't correct her. I just said, oh,
didn't didn't answer her at all. And then later we
go to the we were checking out and we were laughed.
She said, you guys are so cute and no, listen,
(12:37):
she said, you guys boyfriend, a girlfriend, a husband and
wife And my answer was both.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
And I think they thought that we were a husband
and wife. And it was sweet that you were also
saying I'm your girlfriend too. Is she your wife or
your girlfriend? And you said both and they said, good answer,
wait to couch it.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I didn't take it the way You're right. They still
think you're my wife. And they thought the girlfriend part
was the sweet part.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
They thought it was sweet.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Did you still consider me like your girlfriend even though yes,
I'm the ball and chain?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
But that is how they reviewing it.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
What's the correct what's the correct way to do? And
she says, I'm going to check on your wife or
your boyfriend girlfriend?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Husband?
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Wife?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
What do you do with that? Just has a correct somebody.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
I wouldn't correct somebody, no, because I mean I think
we both said. I think a lot of folks. I
mean I would never take offense to that. That's an
honest assumption. At our age where you have a thing.
Have we talked about this partly your friend? He said,
when you're over a certain age.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
You don't have boyfriend and girlfriend anymore. It's ridiculous, you sound,
you sound silly. If you're a forty year old woman
talking about my boyfriend.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
It does feel weird to be like my boyfriend's coming.
But I don't know what else to say.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
It's his thing, and you haven't heard him do this
whole He does a whole bit about this. So the
next time we're out, I'll have him get into it,
and he will get on to you to the point
you will want to go get married that night because
he will make you feel silly for having a boyfriend.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Because I'm too old to have a boyfriend. And so
that is where I'm sure they were coming from that place.
But it was fun still, and neither one of us
corrected them.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
No, they had a nice ring to it. I didn't
mind it at all, but did neither.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
We were out of town in kind in the Hampton's
that direction, but we were there because we wanted to
get out of town. We want to get out of
town because not just because of the heat, and it's
been crazy hot here and a lot of folks want
a little relief, but we wanted to be able to
relax and not be chased. We have had a couple
(14:29):
of days back to back days in which we have
been pursued and to the point of harassed by a
couple of photographers, members of the paparazzi. I guess you
could argue, And so with that our idea was to
get out of town. The verbal didn't work out necessarily,
(14:50):
but that's all we say. We have seen plenty of
times in our experience over the past year and a half.
But yes, sometimes photographers, or you go to an event,
folks will be standing right outside the door waiting for
you to walk out. They're right there waiting and they'll
take your picture.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Yeah, they'll say your name, you'll say hi, you smile,
You let them have their picture.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
You move on. That's part of life in the public eye.
We get that.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
We get it this though we know something else is
up and something is afoot. When photographers are hiding, when
they're chasing you and they're hiding trying to make sure
you do not see them, that is not honest. And
that is in our experience, has been when they're trying
(15:32):
to get something compromising or or something that even looks
a little off, then they can attach whatever headline they
want to a picture. And that is not in good faith.
And that is why we wanted to get out of town.
But it's also now why we're just waiting.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
It's one of those things that we've learned the hard
way the past year. Because yes, when you have the
clandestine photographers who don't want you to see them, who
want to catch you doing something, whether it's having a
look on your face or us not holding hands, or
us our body language where we're walking a little further
apart than we normally would have, but they want to
catch you where they can then say, aha, we want
(16:10):
to write this story, and we can apply whatever story
we want and use this picture to prove it. So
it's they tell you for days, trying to get you
to do the thing or look a certain way that
will bolster whatever it is they want to write. And
the maddening thing about that is, then, yes, you're kind
of waiting for the shoe to drop. I mean you're
kind of waiting to see what is this headline going
(16:31):
to be? What are they going to say? And it
really can get in your head and create a lot
of anxiety because you're waiting for something bad to happen,
because you know that they wouldn't be out there hiding
if it was something positive or.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Oh, just legit, let's just say legit. It don't necessarily
have to be positive for us. If they were this
is a legitimate story, they would call our people and
say we're about to write this. Can we get comment,
we'd say yes, so we say no. When we walk
out and a guy is lit to relate. Okay, first
of all, he's a little overweight to think he's gonna
hide behind a light pole. Okay, that pole is not
(17:04):
wide enough. Lesta not be able to see you, homie,
sir and off walking down and he has got his
iPhone out. He's trying to take video of us. I
see his long lens. We cut through the park. He
runs and gets ahead of us and is hiding behind
a delivery truck. Once we get through the park, and
(17:24):
so we have to circle back and turn around and
do this and finally lose that guy.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
The other one really pissed me off.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, because we were having a nice dinner and a
very important conversation.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Yeah, yeah, we were having a conversation. We were sitting
and not even that well displayed outside. We were kind
of tucked away. But sure enough you saw and we
were having like a very important conversation.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
You saw a lens.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Over the top of a vehicle. And I have to say,
I don't ever see any of this. I'm situationally unaware.
I know it drives you crazy, But I'm amazed you.
Your head is always on a swivel, which is a
tough thing to constantly have to do. You know, you're
always a little bit on edge and a little bit
on guard. But you saw it and you were like,
we gotta get up and we had some help.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Oh my god. You know what.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
We want to give credit.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
We do want to give them credit. We were at
we were at the Roxy. It's and we say, down
to Tribeca, the Roxley Hotel there that we love and
they know us and we've been going there for a while.
But we were sitting outside having the dinner. And yet
if you can imagine this, folks, we can't show it
to you, but just a truck, an suv or something,
and imagine the only thing you see, and that that
parked suv is a camera long land sitting on top
(18:37):
of it. You couldn't even see the photographer's body. And
that's how he was trying to get the picture of
us while we were sitting.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
And we picked up.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
We went inside and the guy uh about he was
about five six.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
He had on a.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Red polo ships and a hat, and he moved and
started hiding and dipping and everywhere could see him out
the front door and the folks at the roxy, I
just said, hey, you guys have another interest in say
who we were or another exit. I didn't say who
we were nothing. I said, no, I really don't have anything.
They were nice, moved on. The manager comes a little
while later and tracks I think you down first. It
(19:09):
tracks you down first.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
And says what and says, I can get you guys
out through the back door if that would help, And
we just said thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
And so sure enough we went.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Through the kitchen area and out where the employees go through,
and we were able to get an uber to pull
right up and get out of there. And as we
were leaving, I think you saw him still waiting for
us to walk out.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
That's like the little victory in this, Like he I
don't know, it was hot. I don't know how long
you had to wait.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
He probably could not understand where we went or why
we didn't come back out, but we lost him, and
then we got out of town the next.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Day and we so and again, this isn't a thing.
Yeah this is.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
It's a part of it to a certain degree. But
that's that kind of thing where they're hiding behind vehicles
and trying to make sure they don't see you there
and trying to cat that's that's just annoying, and it's
difficult and it's frustrating, and it got us to get
out of town and get a verse. That's the privacy
we so desperately saw it.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
At least they didn't have long lenses over on the
other side of the window.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
They didn't need it right there on a full display
for them.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I will say this is another way we made lemonade.
It definitely pushed us to get out of the city
and we ended up having some fun experiences.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's in great spot. I can't remember the name. A
couple of spots, the one we sat outside on them
I wanted to give them. They were wonderful, wonderful spots
we went to and everybody was great. But you make
lemonade and we made the best out of it. But
we want to give you all the heads up because
this is how it goes. Sometimes we're just waiting for
whatever headline to come. I want everybody's help here as
we close on this one thing. Robes and Emma was
(20:51):
talking about it a second and maybe it's a woman thing.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
The phones.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Okay, why is it when you're with someone, they're looking
Why is it that people constantly are putting their phone
in your face because they want you to see the
TikTok video somebody just saw sent them. They want you
to see the text message they just received. They want
you to see this picture. They want you And if
(21:17):
you as much as we're all on our phones and
being just entertained, there's a lot of stuff. You might
turn that phone around. Ooh look, oh, look, oh look.
And between you and Sabine, an eleven year old who
is on her phone all the time, it's constant on
the left, she's putting it in my face to show
me something from TikTok. On all right, you're showing me.
(21:38):
I don't even know what you show me.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
You show show your stuff from Instagram. I show you
stuff the girl. The girls are sending me stuff from
instag from TikTok. But now Sabina and I actually just
show each other good. We're we're we're happy to receive.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
But why why is that a thing? Do you think?
For so many and why is it driving me so greaty?
Speaker 3 (21:56):
It's driving you crazy? And you know what, it's funny.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
I know it drives you crazy, and somehow how I
still get all caught up in the excitement of wanting
to show you something.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I forget that it drives you crazy.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
But I think it's just I think maybe it is
a female thing, because my daughters and I do it
to each other and we're like, look at this, look
at this, and we were even talking here You're surrounded
by women in this room and we're all laughing because
we do it to each other.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
But I don't see men doing that to each other
or to me.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
So I really do think it might be more of
a female thing where we're connecting, we're sharing, we're and
you're just not that into it.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
No, that's fair, But yeah, I thought about it that way.
I'm like, going to dinner with my guys. We not
not once has Chuck ever picked up his phone and say, ooh,
look at this video.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Have you seen this cat?
Speaker 5 (22:42):
See?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:42):
I mean it's like, you know, it's animal videos, it's
it's children videos, it's I know, I do think. I
hate to generalize, but I do think this is probably
a woman thing.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Okay, Mostly I am.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Thinking, you're excited about something and you laugh, so you
want everybody else to laugh and you want to.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
It comes from a good place of wanting to to
bring someone else into the joy or the laughter or
something that was silly, like we have fall videos, like
we have shared those.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
You did watch that one that Annelie sent me that
you liked.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
That was the one I remember you kind of were
okay with watching, but I think you'd rather have me
just put it up on the TV.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Okay, you know, I will make it. I need to
make some kind of a deal with you here. I
if you will stop putting your phone in my face, okay,
I will happily take selfies with you.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
Oh that is something I can get behind, because.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Give you one a day.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Okay, Well, we already had to discuss this.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
So every time we go somewhere, I want to document
and I want to get you know, and I'm not
going to ask someone else to.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Take our picture. So I want to do a selfie
with him.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
And it drives him crazy, so he'll pout, he'll make
a face, or you like, you make a little cloudy face,
you make a face that you know I can't actually
use a picture.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Okay, yeah, okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
And then or you hide your face or at the
last minute, like you look like you're gonna smile and
you're gonna participate with me, and then you just duck
your head when the actual picture gets taken. Its just
so I have all these outtakes of all these pictures
that are all not good because you sabotage them. So yes,
if you and then eventually you usually do give me one.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
But it's like a it's an effort.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
It's just turning on and off with a smile. That
is just it's just it's a lot. And you about
to talk about the guy.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
So we're at the restaurant and we see this couple
and you see she wants him to take a selfie
with her, and I said, look, see, look he's taking
a selfie with her, and she takes me he his
smile turns into like an absolute like nothing face three
seconds or one second after the victure was taken. So
then it was hilarious. I'm like, Okay, clearly he doesn't
(24:47):
like taking them either. Okay, fine, but we're about to
go on vacation, and so I appreciate I get one
selfie a day.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
That's it. That's tough.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Fair. What's fair? Though, you know, it's just it's so much.
It's what's fair.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
We will then go okay, all right, but I feel
like yes, and when you look back at the pictures,
you like them. They're fun to reminisce and to see
where we were and what we were like and what
we were doing.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I don't think I've taken a single selfie that I
was like, wow, that came out well, like wow, I'm
glad I took that one.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Not one.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Okay, well, but that's exciting that you're at least open
to one a day.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
But part of the agreement you have to stop sticking
the phone in my face every time.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
That is something I can absolutely start this, all right,
it's a deal.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
All right, folks. You know where to find us.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
You can see all of our selfies on our Instagram pages,
but you can also find the show on our official
show page at Amy and TJ Podcast on Instagram. I
think we got it this week. We got somewhere on
this one, baby.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I love it. Progress, the
