Speaker 1 (00:00):
I love a cruise and I've only been on one
and the kids shit in the pool the first like
before the boat even left the dock, and they had
to kill you her at the.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Pool and like announce it.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Please please get out of the pool, and they had
to sterilize in the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like you to get out of
the pool.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Calm down with Erin and Carissa is a production of iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
And Action. Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I know, look at this.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We got an early coffee date. We take the podcast
in the afternoon. We're taping it this week early. I
just came running in from a facial because let me
just tell you, I'm so go you get done. So
my girl Donna, who I just love. I've been with
her for a long time and it's so funny. When
I haven't seen her for a while, she'll be like, WHOA,
I can tell you guys have been traveling. I can
(00:49):
tell you've been doing things because the extractions.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Take a minute.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
But I feel like I've lost thirty pounds when I
get a facial from Donna because all of the oh,
it's like and then the last thing, I don't don't
have any makeup on right now, because the last thing
you want to do is put any makeup on your.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Face after you get facial.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I don't even want to like take a shower, no
a week after because it's always so clean and hydrated
and I just love it so much. Anyways, but we're
both enjoying our coffee. We're in our comfy, cozy sweatshirts.
You just finish a pick a ball, lesson, tell me everything, go.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, hold on back to the facial. What are you
getting done? And also do you find yourself breaking out
when you get a facial? How's that working out?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
So sometimes people say that right where it's like, oh
if you get a face, like stop getting facials and
your face breaks out, well, because I think that they're
getting the things out that need to come out. I
just have for me. I'm because I love her so
much too. I just I want to at least go
like every other week. I'm really in on my facials
for the hydration thing too, and also.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Also your money, Like I mean, I'm sorry, but it
is it's like an athlete training, like we have to
stay for there. You just do has good? Okay? Good?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Is that right on?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Let me get my baccown it.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I just like feeling like there's not all this congestion
on the four or five and in my t zone.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So I love a facial.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And I also, as I've gotten older, hence the tattooed
lips and eyebrows, I don't want to wear a lot
of makeup. So once I get a facial, then I
feel like there's just like a glowiness to it. I
also feel like I need to do it just because
I don't want to pick my own sits. I've gotten
a lot better about that. And you can't pick sits
(02:31):
when you have these nails. These nails I have right now.
I had one the other day right here, and I
wanted to get in there, and I was like, I
am going to require stitches if I try to get
this ZiT with these nails. So I have gotten better
about picking my face by just letting the professional do it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Have you invested in the lancet portion of the show.
I don't mind my amazon They are little, tiny like lancets,
And I talked to my face us about it. She
does not encourage me to do it, but if I
need to get in there, it's a little versus what
does it look like it's like a little mine are
(03:10):
bright blue? I got him on Amazon. It just looks
like a little not even a needle, but a little
tiny like little yeah, I guess, like a like a
quarter of a needle on like a plastic thing and
you just pook it where you have something and then
you can get to it better, versus get just trying
to pop more. This is discussing what I'm talking talking about.
It's not, but I've noticed it helps me a lot more.
(03:32):
If I'm on my own and need to do an extraction,
I get that.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I'm just the person that's going to find the dirty
safety pin in the bottom of one of the what
I've done now or dob kits you heard me, dob
kits that we have, and I'm like scrounging around knowing
there's that safety pin that I'm also then going to
use on my shirt that I'm wearing. I did that
the other day. I was going to do a Patrick's
artan interview, which, by the way, how did Gus see it?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
He?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Anyone that doesn't know Patrick Sutan It plays for the Broncos.
He's headed into his fifth year his cornerback for the
Broncos out of Alabama.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Like, this kid is a stud.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Just one defensive player of the Year last year twenty
twenty four, one of only seven cornerbacks people in his position.
I mean, we're talking like Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White, like
JJ Watt, these defensive players of the year, Like go
to the big guys up front, And how tall is
he on the back end? He's got to be like
six three. I don't quote me on that, but he's tall.
(04:29):
He's tall, especially like for his position. But what a
nice young man he is. I haven't had a chance
to sit down with him before, and I just really
enjoyed talking to him. He's huge in the community. He
has a foundation, Like he's just easy to roof for.
He's got this like great smile, this great energy, and
I felt, guy, we're like we're going into like an
(04:50):
hour of the interview. Yeah, he's very attractive, gorgeous, cute.
I could be your mother. He was born in two thousand.
I could do his mom. Yeah, all of these guys. Now,
I no longer feel bad being like he's hot, because
I'm like, I'm his mother's age, so his mother's probably
younger than me. Anyways, So he's adorable and sweet and
(05:10):
the whole thing. But I'm sitting there and I'm wearing
it's like one of those outfits that like you throw
in the in the suitcase because you're like, oh, there's
will work.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
This is whatever I haven't worn in a while, but
I know it works. I've got one of those. I'm
about to do it on zero claim.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Of course not, of course not. But it works when
you're standing up. So I sit down. And now the
best thing.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Is people don't get this charis about our job. People
don't understand we got to look good standing up when
we do these sit downs and sitting down. And that's
a whole situation, as stupid as it sounds, not because
it's a visual we have to have. It's not stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And then it's like, hey, you're in the director's share,
so glad I didn't wear a short skirt. Situation in
that whatever. So the best thing is like opened up
and I'm like, now I'm scrounging around in the bag.
I'm looking for this said safety pin that I also
used to my Zit's gross. I can't find the safety pin.
So now I'm going straight to the audio guy. I'm like, hey,
(06:05):
we need some gaff tape. We need we need some
give me the electrical tape because it was navy.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I'm like, oh, the black will work. No, that doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Hey, you know what I figured out, no longer asked
for like the gaff tape or any of that other stuff.
The double stick tape they use for our microphones. Yes,
that's the tape that we need for the clothes.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
So I was like, oh, perfect.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I was like, I don't know why, twenty years into
this job, I'm like using the other electrical tape when
we should just ask him for that. Anyways, crisis averted
did that, but I was thinking to myself, I was like,
that's solo safety pin that's been traveling around with me,
has multiple uses and is so disgusting, and someone needs
to give me a lighter to like clean the end
(06:46):
of it off of waw gross, I.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Got it now, and we're old enough to be as mother.
I gotta get I gotta clean my brushes. It's it's
time those it's probably Yeah, I don't know how long
it's been. Here's what we're going to do. How do
you feel about this move?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I think that you and I right before the season starts,
we're going to have a date.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
We're gonna go, We're gonna be together.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
We're gonna because you and I have admitted these makeup
eggs are mica up bigs, makeup bags are disgusting. We're
going to be honest with each other walking out, We're
going to throw stuff out. Then we're going to go
to Sephora or whatever place we want to go to,
and we're going to just buy the new brushes that
we need, clean the old ones that we like, and
let's just get organized like that.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Oh you know, we should when we could do that.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
So we're doing puppy yoga.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh yeah, but after poppy yoga, are we sure that
there's going to be puppies there?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
There's no way because anywhere had our done puppy You
need to go do pickleball with Chris Myers, my new
uh my new Bobby Kate.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Talk about that because now we're all invested in your
pickleball acumen?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Are you getting better? Is it something you'reself enjoying? I
mean joying. I need because it's a beginner situation. I
need a little bit more cardio. We're working on our danking,
dunking volleying and serving today. But I like how you
have to start in a squad, so I was really
trying to like work the quads onyas with that. This
is what I've realized about myself with pickleball. It is,
(08:18):
I think, a real mirror of who you are as
a person. Every time I mess up, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. I'm the only one in the lesson saying sorry.
There's five other participants. They're not saying sorry. Why am
I doing that? We're gonna say sorry down for Yeah,
we're gonna write that down for the therapist. What's that?
(08:39):
What do you?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What's that about? What's that about? What am I sorry about?
Not the We're going to write that down for the therapist.
We are, we got we had some things to work
on this week. So it's not gonna make this week's fall, but.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It may it may make you know, Hey, wait.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I understand that there's you know, patient client confidentiality with
some hippo laws, so you don't feel like you have
to share it, But did you have your therapist call?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Oh? Yeah, okay, just in time? Do you? I mean, look,
this is a safe space. Do you want to give me?
I haven't and the listeners any like it was. It
was a great introductory call. Thank god I did it
because we got a whole other backup problems, as Vincen
would say, that are going to be discussed this week.
(09:29):
But it was good emotional man, and I was really yeah.
And you know what I liked, I said, she did.
I did yeah, because you know, we were talking about
certain things that hit hit home. I liked where she
she said, let's stop for a minute. What are you feeling?
And I was like, my jaw is killing me. I
(09:49):
feel it all right here, right.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Here, tension are yeah, yeah, okay, but you found it
to be constructive.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I found it to be great and right on time. Okay, good,
it's great. I'm excited, easy, breezy. You know what I
enjoyed where she was like, the times are look at
the time, I'm like, oh my, I said, you're good.
Thank god, I feel it.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
But yeah, I thought, oh no, that times flying by,
especially if Steve's in the room. Like I said last week,
I didn't even get to ask any questions. The thing
that I love about it is that when it's over,
I'm always like, oh, like, I feel so much lighter
it's just like a way to urge what you're talking about.
And then I feel like, oh god, why like or
why did I make such a big deal of certain things,
(10:39):
Like they're not that big of a deal once you
get them out, which we've talked about. You and I
have a lot how important it is, even with your
girlfriends or whoever. You can fight in to just say it.
Sometimes you know people like say like, oh, I journal
I don't. I wish, I wish I was a journaler.
I wish that was like a thing, because I don't.
I'm so afraid that if I write it down and
then someone finds it and they read it, I'm like,
(11:00):
ad like, I don't want to do that, but I
think just getting it out and talking about it. Poor
Willis Willis has heard me say a lot of things
around my life. I'm like, well, please sit down, like.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
The journal writing their ear or their nose. Ie.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I know yesterday we were you and I were facetiming
and like my two babies like were sitting with me,
and I was just like, I don't know, I could
go on and on.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
We don't deserve them. So therapy was good.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Pickleball is coming along, face go stop saying sorry.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I say sorry so much on the court. Here's the
other thing, And this isn't because I think I'm bad.
This is because I expect more out of myself. I
know I'm not an athlete. I dance my entire life. No, listen,
I believe dancers are athletes. I wasn't a jam at dancing.
So I here's the thing, but I don't know what
(11:53):
I'm trying to say there. I also when sweet Nancy,
our instructor today, was like that was good, but I
know it was isn't good? I said no, it wasn't.
Shut up? Why am I fighting with Nancy? So a
lot of stories and a lot of that was good. No,
it wasn't. What's what's going on here? What are you doing? What?
(12:13):
Where is that coming from?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I think it also goes back to you and I
accepting compliments too. Remember how we're trying to get better
about that. Where if I'm like, oh, I like I
like your hair and you're like, no, the roots need
to be done, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, it's so bad.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I think you We have a few people in our
life that keep stressing this to us, where it's like, hey,
self deprecation is cool and all, but like every time
someone gives you a compliment now it just gets annoying.
We can't do it like saying thank you or accepting
the compliment. I think that's something you and I can
both work on, because I don't we both do that.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I don't know why. I think it's our defense mechanism
of like.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
We we're the hardest on ourselves, and so if somebody
wants to give a compliment, it's like no, no, no, no, no,
don't do that.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
So yeah, maybe I could just go the other way
with it. Thank you. I'm gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I know, even if I hit the ball out of
the line, great job. Of course it was I Donna
a Saturday Night Live skit like where you go totally
the opposite way. I'm fantastic.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I know, I'm not kidding. I told you even on
like the Instagram post. Instead of giving some inspirational quote,
it should just be like I look fucking great here
where I do.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Think every time though I'm in these lessons, I think
of that scene from Bridesmaids, and it was like, get
it together, Carol. So that movie is so fantastic. It's great.
That movie.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
So we have a few more weeks here before football,
a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Of guys reporting for camp today. This is where I
get so excited. It is now the time we're supposed
to be watching it NFL net Work for the NonStop
coverage because I love that time. I was confused if
it was today or tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
It depends on the team, but definitely camp is starting,
and this is where you and I start locking in
because we do have the luxury of our jobs football wise,
like is you know, all full on in the fall,
but we are end of July. That means football is
right around the corner. I got a preseason game on
(14:26):
August twenty first, New York, so yeah, you got one too,
So we're we're we're off and running, although not before.
We talked about a few things here, so Aaron I
teased it on the on the pregame.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Teased it on the pregame show.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
There's in our podcast chat of subjects that we want
to talk about, the Ritz Carlton Cruise, State make your
case for why you want to be on the Ritz
Carlton Cruise and Ritz Carlton if anyone's listening, we'd love
to go. We've got four weeks Are you guys still
taking off from any port?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Why? Maybe not this summer, but I'd definitely be interested.
I don't know if this is the first summer this is.
Is this the debut of the Ritz Carlton Cruse? I
think so. Yeah. Well I'm offended because no I'm not.
We've been on the Disney Cruise growing up. I've been
on the Carnival Cruise. Let me tell you what I'd
like to do with the old four top. Here, the
cod Thompson Stole Andrews Mafia is going to Ritz Carlton Cruise. Now,
(15:25):
thank you, You're welcome. We've been listening to a lot
of mawana lately. Uh do we care who's on the boat?
Are we picky? Do we just want to go? What's
our vibe? I want to go on the Ritz Carlton Cruise. Okay,
let's just start with the invite. So, dear Ritz Carlton,
we would love to loyal members on the cruise. I
(15:45):
love a cruise. I know people, are you at first
where it's like, well, I.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Love a cruise and I've only been on one and
the kids shit in the pool the first like before
the boat even left the dock and they had to
kill you about the pool and like to please please
get out of the pool, and they had to sterilize
in the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Like you to get out of the pool exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I love a cruise because you can there's always something
to do, and you know there's casinos on those things,
and you know your gal loves the casino.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
So boy, you've got.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
There's the risk Carlton cruise. Oh, I'm sure some kind
of like high end.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Look it up. I'm going to look up to see
what we would like. Keep talking.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I just think that there's any any vacation where there's
endless options of things to do.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I'm in for it. And you're kind of all.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Forced to be together, like you know, don't You're not
like you know, people going over here, people going in
over here.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
You're on a boat, so you're kind of stuck with
each other. I'm into it.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I love a cruise and Ritz Carlton. We would love
to attend your next outing. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
We got to ask Tom more about it, We got
to ask who, We got to know how he gets
us on. I'm reading right now the website All Inclusive
Experience SPA Experience. You guys, you and I would crush that. Sure,
excursions amenities abound. Hold on, I'm gonna explore more. Amenities abound. God,
(17:10):
what could we do so much? But put it this way,
I'll download the app.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I will get the Ritz Carlton app if it means
we have an invite on the next cruise ship around
the world.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So that's our PSA for that situation. Please can we come?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So also a few things that were in our chat
as well. I heard, you know, the certain expressions that
your parents had when you were growing up, and you like.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Hated them for it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, I heard the other day, I'm in line at
the old Barnes and Noble, which, by the way, there's
not a lot of those anymore, and it makes me sad.
But I was picking up a couple of books, you
heard me. I was putting together a gift basket for
Kathy Thompson, and there was this kid in mine and
you know, like when you're in the ill and they
have like all the little things and they do this
(18:02):
on purpose where it's like you can grab on your
way up to the checkout thing. In this particular case,
it was like, you know, the games. There's like games
there was bookmarkers. There's all these different things and the
kids grab and shit off the shelf and he's like,
I want this, I want this, and the mom goes, no,
you're not having that. No, you're not having that. And
all I'm thinking about is my childhood, where like when
you're out at a store with your parents growing up
(18:23):
and you want something and they're like, we're not getting anything.
Stop touching that, don't touch that, put it down, just
all of these things, and finally the kid goes, I
hate you, and the mom goes, oh you do. Yeah,
it was one of those and she goes, oh you do,
and he goes, yeah, you're not fair, and she goes,
Life's not fair. And all I could think my mom
(18:44):
was my father growing up, where it was like that
thing of like, well, why can't I have it because
I'm the parent and I'm telling you you can't have it,
and when you're old enough.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
You can in it. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But the whole life is fair thing got me thinking
because in today's society, not to get deep, but this
is where I'm at. Like this small moment in the
checkout line at Barnes and Noble got me thinking about life.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Everyone in life. Not everyone.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Let me retract that a lot of people in life
love to be the victim, love.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
To be the victim.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
And it's like when you get out there and you're like,
life isn't fair, kid, and these lessons that you learn
early on, and if you're told by your parent, and
I know I'm not a parent, but like, I know
you're this way with Mac where it's like, no, you're
not just going to get whatever you want. Because if
you tell your kid and give your kid all this
shit when they're like little, and then they get into
the real world and they just expect the same thing.
(19:34):
And I just thought to myself how grateful I was,
even if I didn't like my dad or mom when
I was growing up or being like well you can't.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Get that or life isn't fair.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's like thank you, because now as we're out here
in the real world, like not everything is an equal
playing ground, like there is it. There's going to be
a first place, there's going to be a loser. Not
everyone gets a participation ribbon. And I just thought about that.
I was like, this mom is setting her kid up
for success. And I appreciate that because I look around
in social media or all of these like different things
(20:04):
and everyone's always the victim and you're like, dude, life
isn't fair, so fucking get over it and like keep
it moving. So that was my little like anecdotal thing
that I saw, and I just was appreciating my parents
for like the way that I was raised, where it's like, okay,
you lose, guess what next? Play mentality like go back
out there, figure it out. Like I don't care whether
(20:26):
it's a job, whether it's a relationship, whatever it is,
like keep it moving and like stop playing victim. Everybody
loves to be the victim, and woe is me.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
So that is all I have to say about that.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
But like kudos to the mother that told her kid, Johnny,
you're not fucking getting that because life isn't fair and
I'm the parent.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Okay. Two things about Barnes and Noble. One is incredible
kids section. If you ever need to waste a couple
of minutes hour like an hour, they have a great
kids area. It's kind of like a hidden gem I
learned from our nannies. We actually got stuck somewhere and
we were like Barnes and Noble and we know you
(21:06):
coffee for the adults and a little player we have
for the kids, which is great. So there's that. I
what was I going to say about this? I love that.
I am trying very very hard at two years old,
a mom of a two year old, to try to
figure out how to handle not the terrible choos. But
(21:27):
my kid is vocal. Wonder where he learned it. My
kid is opinionated, wonder where he learned it. My kid
is out in the streets like he is letting everyone
know his vibe, what he's feeling. And we are going
through a little bit of a screaming stage. And this
scream is a high pitched ringing in my ears. I'm
literally I am worried about my hearing because I will
(21:51):
be holding him and it's like I can feel it,
and I'm like, Jared, I just lost my hearing. It's bad.
I'm legitimately worried about it. So we are trying to
navigate and learn as parents a two year old. I
know my kid is smart. I know he knows what's
going on. I also know he doesn't understand how to
what's the word express himself or communicate. Right now he's
(22:14):
saying some words. But we went on. We were with
a very sweet, smart, successful couple who has older kids
now who seem to have followed right in their parents' footsteps,
and I just like to ask, what kind of advice
would you give parents that are just starting out when
you're raising kids, And they recommended, you know, we're very
(22:37):
big on mac Mac. We are not going to scream
right now that hurts mom's ears. And also it's just
we're not going to do that. We're not going to
behave like that. But they also were saying, you know,
I'm big on if you do this, We're not going
to do TV. We're not going to listen to Disney
take Away, We're not going to Cubs camp. So my
whole thing is you have to tell them why liked
(23:00):
this from Bob and Sarah. They said, tell them not
that we're just going to take things away from you.
Why are we not allowing you to behave this way?
And I kind of like that, not that a two
year old understands, but just sitting down and having a conversation.
But man, we are in it. It is so hard
to navigate how much he can comprehend how much we take.
(23:21):
It's hard because you don't in public want your kids
to have an absolute mouthdown, but you also don't want
to reward bad behavior. I'm not interested in doing that because,
like you just said, I've seen people who play victim.
I see people who don't work hard. I see people
who parents gave them everything not doing it. For my kid, yes,
he's going to have a different lifestyle because his parents
(23:41):
work their ass off and we can give them that.
But this kid is going to learn a lot about responsibility, teamwork, discipline,
being a good kid because I've been around a lot
of assholes adults and kids, and I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You know, you're not vacation, no, but you're not gonna
let your kid be an asshole. But the other thing too,
is that when you see the kid like screaming and
wanting the thing, the parents also just don't want to
deal with it. So it's like, here, just give him
the thing and just shut them up kind of a
deal because you're exhausted and you know whatever. But I
(24:15):
think the consistency on that is probably like the number
one like, because then what if you give in to
your kid, then the kid's like, yeah, I wore her down,
I'm gonna keep whatever he knows it. I know there's
I mean, he's only two, but yeah, he knows more
than you'd probably think. But yeah, anyways, I'm just proud
of the I was proud to see that parents today
still say that life isn't fair. That like old school
(24:38):
mentality of like okay, well yeah, but Johnny Johnny get
you get one, you know, and like Timmy gets one.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
No, Johnny and Timmy are not the same. If you
earn it, then you get it.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
If not not today, kid, or save up your allowance
and you can buy it yourself.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
But yeah, I don't know. I also had a moment.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
My other sort of takeaway from this week that I
wanted to highlight was gratitu when things are going well
because I feel like so.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Often, you know, we want to like and we do.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
This is actually like to bitch about stuff where you're like, oh,
this didn't happen, and then there was like you know,
I got you.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
It was in traffic, I was in this, I was
doing this or whatever. It's like I want to take
time when think when for example, like my flights, like
my I was traveling this week and all my flights
were on time, and I was like, well, let's show
appreciation for like there wasn't delay, there wasn't whatever, because
like we're always quick to like highlight when things go wrong.
I just want to be more mindful when things.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Go right and to like take that moment to be like, oh,
look at this, this was just a great day and
be poly positive because I do believe that psychologically, if
you're always talking about negative things, it's easy to be
negative in general and just feel this like weight of negativity.
So I'm going to for example, like I got to
(25:52):
my facial today, I still had time to get back
to make my coffee.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
There wasn't like an accident.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
On the road, but there was just all yeah, I
just want to take time to recognize and appreciate when
things go right, because we're always quick to point out
when they go wrong. So I'm in my gratitude era.
I'm also in my honesty era. Over the weekend, when
I was with some friends, I was like just being
like my whole thing lately is also like I'm not
going to talk behind your back if I'm going to
(26:19):
say it to your face, if I really care about you,
I'm going straight to the source and was I also
had some tough conversations with some people over the weekend,
and I'm sure they were probably like, shut up he did,
but I just yeah, like some couple people that I
hadn't seen in a while were going through some stuff
and I just wanted to like be hey, what's happening,
Like how can I help? Like let's whatever. But then
(26:39):
I also just went I said some things that other
people weren't going to say to them, and the other
people like kind of looked at me like WHOA, I
can't believe you just said that. But I'm like, I
don't want to talk behind your back if I'm not
going to say it to your face. If I really
do care about you, then you can hate me for
it in the moment, but hopefully you'll respect me for
it later, for having the ball to just say it,
(27:00):
because that's where I'm at. I want people I can
handle criticism. I mean, we live and work in a
job for the last twenty years where people criticize us
all the time, and it's like I can handle that,
no problem. But as long as the criticism is coming
from people that I care about, If it's Jimmy and
his basement, I don't really care about Jimmy and his basement,
but being open to criticism, working on myself and things
(27:23):
that I can get better at. But yeah, I just
believe that going straight to the sources really where I'm at.
Whether they want to hear it or not, maybe they'll
appreciate it later. So yeah, gratitude and my honesty era
is really at the forefront of my life right now.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I love this. I love this era. Yeah, mine is
taken deep brath arat not to try to hold it.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
All right here and my good good I love that. Hey,
before we get out of here, we've got a couple
of years to do. I would love to do something.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, let's go. Okay, dude, we have PSA regarding scammers.
Remember you talked about scammers. Oh, okay, we have somebody
that wrote in scams follow up. This is from Jonathan.
You want to read it. This is long. You're better
at that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
So last week I talked about these scammers are getting
really good. I got a letter in the mail from Geico.
I don't even use in Geico insurance, but it looks
so real. And so Jonathan wrote in here PSA regarding scammers.
My father in law passed away unexpectedly back in September
of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
A few days after he passed, someone reached out and
called my mother in law from the funeral home looking
to collect payment for his funeral and cremation costs. She
ended up sending them twenty five hundred dollars via Apple
pay before talking to anyone in the family first. Come
to find out it was a scumbag scammer from an
owner phone that we had no way of tracking, and
she never got the money back. Pso PSA. If there
(28:55):
is apparently a common thing where people awful people's scour
obituaries and try to take advantage of grieving significant others,
always avoid paying when someone calls you hang up and
call the business directly. Oh my god. Well, first of all, Johnathan,
thanks so because we talked about this. We're like, they'll,
you know, older generations that like don't understand that this
(29:17):
could actually be real, like the letter that you get
in the mail or the phone call, and you're like, oh,
I don't want to have an outstanding bound, but how
awful is that? Like you're dealing with the loss of
someone and so obviously you're not your head's not in
the right place, and you're just like, so, yeah, that's
just kind of something I've been noticing a lot late,
and these scammers and with AI and everything else, it's
getting so real, and I feel bad because if you
(29:39):
do have an outstanding balance on something, you don't want
to be delinquent in it. But then you're also like,
in my is this actually going to the real thing?
So that's a good piece of advice. Don't obviously ever
pay over the phone and then just call the business directly.
But even in that Geico thing that I got it,
it had a line that you could call directly, and
I knew that wasn't real.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
So just ask.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Don't be so quick to just like, you know, pay something,
ask the follow up questions or like in my case,
I have an insurance guy and I'm like, hey, do
we what's going on here? So asking questions before you
just fork over the money. But thank you Jonathan for that. PSA, Oh,
I am on a real mersade to help mitigate these scammers,
because yeah, not on my watch, not today.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Folks feel so bad for these people.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I know, Okay some of the headlines, which one do
you want to get into girl let's do the Korean
botox because everybody knows it. Around about this time last year,
I decided to take it upon myself to watch these
TikTok videos try this Korean skincare. Apparently my mix wasn't
great with my skin.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I ended up having to get on three antibiotics because
I had massive acne, which wasn't cute. Okay, so what's
what do we think? This is called? Inno talks in
a talx? Sure? What is in a talx? People on
social media are self injecting Korean botox at home. Sounds
like some Chris and I would try, and sounds like
(31:02):
something we shouldn't try. Surprise, I haven't. It's a trend
of people purchasing inotos made by a Korean company and
also referred to as Korean botox or k botox from
third party retailers, which is never good online, in an
effort to smooth crows feet and brow lines on a budget.
I got to tell you this sounds like such a
(31:22):
bad idea.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
I ew, okay, yeah, but I'm shocked that I haven't
done it, So we need to be careful about that.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Would you dare? No, let's not. Let's not be.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I don't think we should be doing anything with like
injecting needles. I mean, look, I know you've had to
do it for infertility before, but that's also scary when
you're like given needles at home and like, oh good luck,
go do this, but in.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Your face and stuff. I know. Okay, So Molly O. Rourke,
a registered nurse and nurse injector, told today dot Com
it's just really not something that you could learn comprehensively
yourself online as a lay person. They're showing injection points.
This is I'm assuming on TikTok over your thyroid and
over muscles that help you breathe. If you go too deep,
(32:08):
you're going to affect your breathing. That sort of thing
really freaks me out. Yeah, let's not do that.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I'm just worried about a bad brow. I've had an
injector before, which like I had last year too, and
it was like one was going up this direction and
then the other one. I'm like, okay, let's just keep
these bad boys on an even playing field here, because
there are think about all the muscles in your face.
I know this when I got Bell's palsy from the
stress in my life. There are so many muscles in
your face, and if you hit the wrong muscle, I
(32:35):
mean you even say like sometimes that people start to
talking sideways and shit goes wrong. So just keep the
needles away from your face, unless it's administered by a
professional that you've actually vetted. Next headline, Oh God, here's
the nasty reason why you should never trust the plastic
hygiene liners on bathing suits. When it comes to swimwhere shopping,
one of the worst things you can do is try on.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
A suit fully nude. Who's doing that? No tiny underwear?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Like come on, well, I know, although bathing suit bottoms
usually have a plastic hygiene liner, which again has been
trying if someone's trying this on naked, it's that that
said liner's also been touched by other people that are naked.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Gross.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Nicholas I Chair a scientist from Chicago. He took it
upon himself to swab the plastic seal two different bathing
suit bottoms that hung in a retail store and place
them into a peatrie dish and see what kind of
bacteria lives on them. The moral of the story is
always try on bathing suits with some sort of barrier. Yeah,
I hope everyone knew that. But if not, let's not
be trying on bathing suits without underwear on.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I feel like this is something I learned at a
very young age.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
No, I know, I know, but you know what, Look,
we're out here to help people with scammers and banial liners.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Hey here's another thing. You know what I hate? And yes,
like I use a piece of tissue. I hate taking
it off. Then you got to roll it up and
it's sticky and thrown it out. I want that thing
out of my life. You gotta take it all off.
The bathing seal. I hadn't thought about that. Oh, I guess.
I guess they make the disposal very difficult. And then
(34:07):
like sometimes you think you hit the can and you didn't,
and now it's on the floor and you're grabbing another
piece and sometimes it hits you. It's just a whole thing.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Oh no, this is okay, all right? So yeah, I
hadn't thought about the disposal part. But yeah, there we go,
last but not least hit it.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Girl, God, this kid's close to home. Five year old
goes on a three thousand dollars online shopping spree while
parents are asleep. Currently on the phone, crying to Amazon.
Parents of a little five year old boy learned the
hard way to never leave their child unattended with their phone.
After waking up to an over three thousand dollars Amazon
(34:45):
bill Jeff that they didn't make the little mom's The
little shopper's mom captioned her video and casually had another
seven hundred dollars of items in the cart ready to
check out before we caught him. I'm currently on the
phone and crying to Amazon. My husband is on the
phone crying with our bank. Oh God, this is something
I'm gonna say. My two year old, he does not
(35:08):
he we do not allow him to have a phone.
If there's times of need, like on a plane, in
a restaurant, when he's about to lose it, we'll shove
on some sort of like Disney Show, Miss Rachel Elmo
for him to watch. The problem is this kid, it's amazing.
It's amazing what they're able to do. He sees me
(35:30):
using my phone, which is a lot. Unfortunately, he sees
me using the iPad. My kid loves music. I just
spin everywhere. My kid loves music. We do, you know,
Disney In the morning, we'll do some of our jams
to let him have fun. He sees us hit jams.
He sees us hit Spotify. This kid knows Spotify. Our
(35:51):
nanny has an Apple Watch. Last night at dinner, he
was playing around with it. She goes, he knew Spotify.
This kid, no, it's insane. He knows how to flip,
he knows how to get out of it. Of course
she doesn't have a phone. Yeah, so I could see
this happening. Absolutely, do not leave her phone with your child.
We have a friend in California and she was around
(36:15):
my kid at a farmer's market. She gave her phone
to my kid. He locked her out of it.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Oh right, because he's trying to get in and doesn't
know the pass code. So it's like, yeah, i'll give
it ten minutes. Now we're waiting four hours.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Disney Channel on Chinese yesterday, Like, it's just a lot happening.
His bad lingual.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I easily could see how that could happen, especially with
an Apple Pay where it's a double click situation.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Although the face, I.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Don't know what the issue or how do we get
around that, But yeah, these little fuckers are so hard
they'll figure out how to do it. I feel for
these parents though exactly, let's go back to that, Scott Thompson.
But yeah, and then of course you're calling Amazon or
your comment and they're like, oh, sure the kid did it,
but you're like, look at what they're buying.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Go I did it. It was me. I was wasted.
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
All right, kids, Well, we love you, thank you for
listening more. All of the story is we need to
get on the ritz, Carlton cruise. We're very grateful for
our lives. Life is not fair. Aaron's taking on pickleball

Speaker 1 (00:26):
And Action. Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I know, look at this.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We got an early coffee date. We take the podcast
in the afternoon. We're taping it this week early. I
just came running in from a facial because let me
just tell you, I'm so go you get done. So
my girl Donna, who I just love. I've been with
her for a long time and it's so funny. When
I haven't seen her for a while, she'll be like, WHOA,
I can tell you guys have been traveling. I can
(00:49):
tell you've been doing things because the extractions.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Take a minute.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
But I feel like I've lost thirty pounds when I
get a facial from Donna because all of the oh,
it's like and then the last thing, I don't don't
have any makeup on right now, because the last thing
you want to do is put any makeup on your.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Face after you get facial.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I don't even want to like take a shower, no
a week after because it's always so clean and hydrated
and I just love it so much. Anyways, but we're
both enjoying our coffee. We're in our comfy, cozy sweatshirts.
You just finish a pick a ball, lesson, tell me everything, go.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, hold on back to the facial. What are you
getting done? And also do you find yourself breaking out
when you get a facial? How's that working out?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
So sometimes people say that right where it's like, oh
if you get a face, like stop getting facials and
your face breaks out, well, because I think that they're
getting the things out that need to come out. I
just have for me. I'm because I love her so
much too. I just I want to at least go
like every other week. I'm really in on my facials
for the hydration thing too, and also.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Also your money, Like I mean, I'm sorry, but it
is it's like an athlete training, like we have to
stay for there. You just do has good? Okay? Good?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Is that right on?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Let me get my baccown it.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
I just like feeling like there's not all this congestion
on the four or five and in my t zone.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
So I love a facial.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
And I also, as I've gotten older, hence the tattooed
lips and eyebrows, I don't want to wear a lot
of makeup. So once I get a facial, then I
feel like there's just like a glowiness to it. I
also feel like I need to do it just because
I don't want to pick my own sits. I've gotten
a lot better about that. And you can't pick sits
(02:31):
when you have these nails. These nails I have right now.
I had one the other day right here, and I
wanted to get in there, and I was like, I
am going to require stitches if I try to get
this ZiT with these nails. So I have gotten better
about picking my face by just letting the professional do it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Have you invested in the lancet portion of the show.
I don't mind my amazon They are little, tiny like lancets,
And I talked to my face us about it. She
does not encourage me to do it, but if I
need to get in there, it's a little versus what
does it look like it's like a little mine are
(03:10):
bright blue? I got him on Amazon. It just looks
like a little not even a needle, but a little
tiny like little yeah, I guess, like a like a
quarter of a needle on like a plastic thing and
you just pook it where you have something and then
you can get to it better, versus get just trying
to pop more. This is discussing what I'm talking talking about.
It's not, but I've noticed it helps me a lot more.
(03:32):
If I'm on my own and need to do an extraction,
I get that.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
I'm just the person that's going to find the dirty
safety pin in the bottom of one of the what
I've done now or dob kits you heard me, dob
kits that we have, and I'm like scrounging around knowing
there's that safety pin that I'm also then going to
use on my shirt that I'm wearing. I did that
the other day. I was going to do a Patrick's
artan interview, which, by the way, how did Gus see it?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
He?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Anyone that doesn't know Patrick Sutan It plays for the Broncos.
He's headed into his fifth year his cornerback for the
Broncos out of Alabama.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Like, this kid is a stud.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Just one defensive player of the Year last year twenty
twenty four, one of only seven cornerbacks people in his position.
I mean, we're talking like Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White, like
JJ Watt, these defensive players of the year, Like go
to the big guys up front, And how tall is
he on the back end? He's got to be like
six three. I don't quote me on that, but he's tall.
(04:29):
He's tall, especially like for his position. But what a
nice young man he is. I haven't had a chance
to sit down with him before, and I just really
enjoyed talking to him. He's huge in the community. He
has a foundation, Like he's just easy to roof for.
He's got this like great smile, this great energy, and
I felt, guy, we're like we're going into like an
(04:50):
hour of the interview. Yeah, he's very attractive, gorgeous, cute.
I could be your mother. He was born in two thousand.
I could do his mom. Yeah, all of these guys. Now,
I no longer feel bad being like he's hot, because
I'm like, I'm his mother's age, so his mother's probably
younger than me. Anyways, So he's adorable and sweet and
(05:10):
the whole thing. But I'm sitting there and I'm wearing
it's like one of those outfits that like you throw
in the in the suitcase because you're like, oh, there's
will work.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
This is whatever I haven't worn in a while, but
I know it works. I've got one of those. I'm
about to do it on zero claim.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Of course not, of course not. But it works when
you're standing up. So I sit down. And now the
best thing.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Is people don't get this charis about our job. People
don't understand we got to look good standing up when
we do these sit downs and sitting down. And that's
a whole situation, as stupid as it sounds, not because
it's a visual we have to have. It's not stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And then it's like, hey, you're in the director's share,
so glad I didn't wear a short skirt. Situation in
that whatever. So the best thing is like opened up
and I'm like, now I'm scrounging around in the bag.
I'm looking for this said safety pin that I also
used to my Zit's gross. I can't find the safety pin.
So now I'm going straight to the audio guy. I'm like, hey,
(06:05):
we need some gaff tape. We need we need some
give me the electrical tape because it was navy.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I'm like, oh, the black will work. No, that doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Hey, you know what I figured out, no longer asked
for like the gaff tape or any of that other stuff.
The double stick tape they use for our microphones. Yes,
that's the tape that we need for the clothes.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
So I was like, oh, perfect.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I was like, I don't know why, twenty years into
this job, I'm like using the other electrical tape when
we should just ask him for that. Anyways, crisis averted
did that, but I was thinking to myself, I was like,
that's solo safety pin that's been traveling around with me,
has multiple uses and is so disgusting, and someone needs
to give me a lighter to like clean the end
(06:46):
of it off of waw gross, I.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Got it now, and we're old enough to be as mother.
I gotta get I gotta clean my brushes. It's it's
time those it's probably Yeah, I don't know how long
it's been. Here's what we're going to do. How do
you feel about this move?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I think that you and I right before the season starts,
we're going to have a date.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
We're gonna go, We're gonna be together.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
We're gonna because you and I have admitted these makeup
eggs are mica up bigs, makeup bags are disgusting. We're
going to be honest with each other walking out, We're
going to throw stuff out. Then we're going to go
to Sephora or whatever place we want to go to,
and we're going to just buy the new brushes that
we need, clean the old ones that we like, and
let's just get organized like that.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Oh you know, we should when we could do that.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
So we're doing puppy yoga.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh yeah, but after poppy yoga, are we sure that
there's going to be puppies there?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
There's no way because anywhere had our done puppy You
need to go do pickleball with Chris Myers, my new
uh my new Bobby Kate.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Talk about that because now we're all invested in your
pickleball acumen?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Are you getting better? Is it something you'reself enjoying? I
mean joying. I need because it's a beginner situation. I
need a little bit more cardio. We're working on our danking,
dunking volleying and serving today. But I like how you
have to start in a squad, so I was really
trying to like work the quads onyas with that. This
is what I've realized about myself with pickleball. It is,
(08:18):
I think, a real mirror of who you are as
a person. Every time I mess up, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. I'm the only one in the lesson saying sorry.
There's five other participants. They're not saying sorry. Why am
I doing that? We're gonna say sorry down for Yeah,
we're gonna write that down for the therapist. What's that?
(08:39):
What do you?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What's that about? What's that about? What am I sorry about?
Not the We're going to write that down for the therapist.
We are, we got we had some things to work
on this week. So it's not gonna make this week's fall, but.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It may it may make you know, Hey, wait.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I understand that there's you know, patient client confidentiality with
some hippo laws, so you don't feel like you have
to share it, But did you have your therapist call?
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Oh? Yeah, okay, just in time? Do you? I mean, look,
this is a safe space. Do you want to give me?
I haven't and the listeners any like it was. It
was a great introductory call. Thank god I did it
because we got a whole other backup problems, as Vincen
would say, that are going to be discussed this week.
(09:29):
But it was good emotional man, and I was really yeah.
And you know what I liked, I said, she did.
I did yeah, because you know, we were talking about
certain things that hit hit home. I liked where she
she said, let's stop for a minute. What are you feeling?
And I was like, my jaw is killing me. I
(09:49):
feel it all right here, right.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Here, tension are yeah, yeah, okay, but you found it
to be constructive.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I found it to be great and right on time. Okay, good,
it's great. I'm excited, easy, breezy. You know what I
enjoyed where she was like, the times are look at
the time, I'm like, oh my, I said, you're good.
Thank god, I feel it.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
But yeah, I thought, oh no, that times flying by,
especially if Steve's in the room. Like I said last week,
I didn't even get to ask any questions. The thing
that I love about it is that when it's over,
I'm always like, oh, like, I feel so much lighter
it's just like a way to urge what you're talking about.
And then I feel like, oh god, why like or
why did I make such a big deal of certain things,
(10:39):
Like they're not that big of a deal once you
get them out, which we've talked about. You and I
have a lot how important it is, even with your
girlfriends or whoever. You can fight in to just say it.
Sometimes you know people like say like, oh, I journal
I don't. I wish, I wish I was a journaler.
I wish that was like a thing, because I don't.
I'm so afraid that if I write it down and
then someone finds it and they read it, I'm like,
(11:00):
ad like, I don't want to do that, but I
think just getting it out and talking about it. Poor
Willis Willis has heard me say a lot of things
around my life. I'm like, well, please sit down, like.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
The journal writing their ear or their nose. Ie.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I know yesterday we were you and I were facetiming
and like my two babies like were sitting with me,
and I was just like, I don't know, I could
go on and on.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
We don't deserve them. So therapy was good.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Pickleball is coming along, face go stop saying sorry.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I say sorry so much on the court. Here's the
other thing, And this isn't because I think I'm bad.
This is because I expect more out of myself. I
know I'm not an athlete. I dance my entire life. No, listen,
I believe dancers are athletes. I wasn't a jam at dancing.
So I here's the thing, but I don't know what
(11:53):
I'm trying to say there. I also when sweet Nancy,
our instructor today, was like that was good, but I
know it was isn't good? I said no, it wasn't.
Shut up? Why am I fighting with Nancy? So a
lot of stories and a lot of that was good. No,
it wasn't. What's what's going on here? What are you doing? What?
(12:13):
Where is that coming from?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I think it also goes back to you and I
accepting compliments too. Remember how we're trying to get better
about that. Where if I'm like, oh, I like I
like your hair and you're like, no, the roots need
to be done, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Yeah, it's so bad.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I think you We have a few people in our
life that keep stressing this to us, where it's like, hey,
self deprecation is cool and all, but like every time
someone gives you a compliment now it just gets annoying.
We can't do it like saying thank you or accepting
the compliment. I think that's something you and I can
both work on, because I don't we both do that.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I don't know why. I think it's our defense mechanism
of like.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
We we're the hardest on ourselves, and so if somebody
wants to give a compliment, it's like no, no, no, no, no,
don't do that.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Don't do that.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
So yeah, maybe I could just go the other way
with it. Thank you. I'm gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I know, even if I hit the ball out of
the line, great job. Of course it was I Donna
a Saturday Night Live skit like where you go totally
the opposite way. I'm fantastic.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
I know, I'm not kidding. I told you even on
like the Instagram post. Instead of giving some inspirational quote,
it should just be like I look fucking great here
where I do.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Think every time though I'm in these lessons, I think
of that scene from Bridesmaids, and it was like, get
it together, Carol. So that movie is so fantastic. It's great.
That movie.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
So we have a few more weeks here before football,
a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Of guys reporting for camp today. This is where I
get so excited. It is now the time we're supposed
to be watching it NFL net Work for the NonStop
coverage because I love that time. I was confused if
it was today or tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
It depends on the team, but definitely camp is starting,
and this is where you and I start locking in
because we do have the luxury of our jobs football wise,
like is you know, all full on in the fall,
but we are end of July. That means football is
right around the corner. I got a preseason game on
(14:26):
August twenty first, New York, so yeah, you got one too,
So we're we're we're off and running, although not before.
We talked about a few things here, so Aaron I
teased it on the on the pregame.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Teased it on the pregame show.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
There's in our podcast chat of subjects that we want
to talk about, the Ritz Carlton Cruise, State make your
case for why you want to be on the Ritz
Carlton Cruise and Ritz Carlton if anyone's listening, we'd love
to go. We've got four weeks Are you guys still
taking off from any port?
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Why? Maybe not this summer, but I'd definitely be interested.
I don't know if this is the first summer this is.
Is this the debut of the Ritz Carlton Cruse? I
think so. Yeah. Well I'm offended because no I'm not.
We've been on the Disney Cruise growing up. I've been
on the Carnival Cruise. Let me tell you what I'd
like to do with the old four top. Here, the
cod Thompson Stole Andrews Mafia is going to Ritz Carlton Cruise. Now,
(15:25):
thank you, You're welcome. We've been listening to a lot
of mawana lately. Uh do we care who's on the boat?
Are we picky? Do we just want to go? What's
our vibe? I want to go on the Ritz Carlton Cruise. Okay,
let's just start with the invite. So, dear Ritz Carlton,
we would love to loyal members on the cruise. I
(15:45):
love a cruise. I know people, are you at first
where it's like, well, I.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Love a cruise and I've only been on one and
the kids shit in the pool the first like before
the boat even left the dock and they had to
kill you about the pool and like to please please
get out of the pool, and they had to sterilize
in the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Like you to get out of the pool exactly.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I love a cruise because you can there's always something
to do, and you know there's casinos on those things,
and you know your gal loves the casino.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
So boy, you've got.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
There's the risk Carlton cruise. Oh, I'm sure some kind
of like high end.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Look it up. I'm going to look up to see
what we would like. Keep talking.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I just think that there's any any vacation where there's
endless options of things to do.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I'm in for it. And you're kind of all.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Forced to be together, like you know, don't You're not
like you know, people going over here, people going in
over here.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
You're on a boat, so you're kind of stuck with
each other. I'm into it.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I love a cruise and Ritz Carlton. We would love
to attend your next outing. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
We got to ask Tom more about it, We got
to ask who, We got to know how he gets
us on. I'm reading right now the website All Inclusive
Experience SPA Experience. You guys, you and I would crush that. Sure,
excursions amenities abound. Hold on, I'm gonna explore more. Amenities abound. God,
(17:10):
what could we do so much? But put it this way,
I'll download the app.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I will get the Ritz Carlton app if it means
we have an invite on the next cruise ship around
the world.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
So that's our PSA for that situation. Please can we come?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So also a few things that were in our chat
as well. I heard, you know, the certain expressions that
your parents had when you were growing up, and you like.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Hated them for it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, I heard the other day, I'm in line at
the old Barnes and Noble, which, by the way, there's
not a lot of those anymore, and it makes me sad.
But I was picking up a couple of books, you
heard me. I was putting together a gift basket for
Kathy Thompson, and there was this kid in mine and
you know, like when you're in the ill and they
have like all the little things and they do this
(18:02):
on purpose where it's like you can grab on your
way up to the checkout thing. In this particular case,
it was like, you know, the games. There's like games
there was bookmarkers. There's all these different things and the
kids grab and shit off the shelf and he's like,
I want this, I want this, and the mom goes, no,
you're not having that. No, you're not having that. And
all I'm thinking about is my childhood, where like when
you're out at a store with your parents growing up
(18:23):
and you want something and they're like, we're not getting anything.
Stop touching that, don't touch that, put it down, just
all of these things, and finally the kid goes, I
hate you, and the mom goes, oh you do. Yeah,
it was one of those and she goes, oh you do,
and he goes, yeah, you're not fair, and she goes,
Life's not fair. And all I could think my mom
(18:44):
was my father growing up, where it was like that
thing of like, well, why can't I have it because
I'm the parent and I'm telling you you can't have it,
and when you're old enough.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
You can in it. Whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But the whole life is fair thing got me thinking
because in today's society, not to get deep, but this
is where I'm at. Like this small moment in the
checkout line at Barnes and Noble got me thinking about life.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Everyone in life. Not everyone.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Let me retract that a lot of people in life
love to be the victim, love.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
To be the victim.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
And it's like when you get out there and you're like,
life isn't fair, kid, and these lessons that you learn
early on, and if you're told by your parent, and
I know I'm not a parent, but like, I know
you're this way with Mac where it's like, no, you're
not just going to get whatever you want. Because if
you tell your kid and give your kid all this
shit when they're like little, and then they get into
the real world and they just expect the same thing.
(19:34):
And I just thought to myself how grateful I was,
even if I didn't like my dad or mom when
I was growing up or being like well you can't.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Get that or life isn't fair.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's like thank you, because now as we're out here
in the real world, like not everything is an equal
playing ground, like there is it. There's going to be
a first place, there's going to be a loser. Not
everyone gets a participation ribbon. And I just thought about that.
I was like, this mom is setting her kid up
for success. And I appreciate that because I look around
in social media or all of these like different things
(20:04):
and everyone's always the victim and you're like, dude, life
isn't fair, so fucking get over it and like keep
it moving. So that was my little like anecdotal thing
that I saw, and I just was appreciating my parents
for like the way that I was raised, where it's like, okay,
you lose, guess what next? Play mentality like go back
out there, figure it out. Like I don't care whether
(20:26):
it's a job, whether it's a relationship, whatever it is,
like keep it moving and like stop playing victim. Everybody
loves to be the victim, and woe is me.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
So that is all I have to say about that.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
But like kudos to the mother that told her kid, Johnny,
you're not fucking getting that because life isn't fair and
I'm the parent.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Okay. Two things about Barnes and Noble. One is incredible
kids section. If you ever need to waste a couple
of minutes hour like an hour, they have a great
kids area. It's kind of like a hidden gem I
learned from our nannies. We actually got stuck somewhere and
we were like Barnes and Noble and we know you
(21:06):
coffee for the adults and a little player we have
for the kids, which is great. So there's that. I
what was I going to say about this? I love that.
I am trying very very hard at two years old,
a mom of a two year old, to try to
figure out how to handle not the terrible choos. But
(21:27):
my kid is vocal. Wonder where he learned it. My
kid is opinionated, wonder where he learned it. My kid
is out in the streets like he is letting everyone
know his vibe, what he's feeling. And we are going
through a little bit of a screaming stage. And this
scream is a high pitched ringing in my ears. I'm
literally I am worried about my hearing because I will
(21:51):
be holding him and it's like I can feel it,
and I'm like, Jared, I just lost my hearing. It's bad.
I'm legitimately worried about it. So we are trying to
navigate and learn as parents a two year old. I
know my kid is smart. I know he knows what's
going on. I also know he doesn't understand how to
what's the word express himself or communicate. Right now he's
(22:14):
saying some words. But we went on. We were with
a very sweet, smart, successful couple who has older kids
now who seem to have followed right in their parents' footsteps,
and I just like to ask, what kind of advice
would you give parents that are just starting out when
you're raising kids, And they recommended, you know, we're very
(22:37):
big on mac Mac. We are not going to scream
right now that hurts mom's ears. And also it's just
we're not going to do that. We're not going to
behave like that. But they also were saying, you know,
I'm big on if you do this, We're not going
to do TV. We're not going to listen to Disney
take Away, We're not going to Cubs camp. So my
whole thing is you have to tell them why liked
(23:00):
this from Bob and Sarah. They said, tell them not
that we're just going to take things away from you.
Why are we not allowing you to behave this way?
And I kind of like that, not that a two
year old understands, but just sitting down and having a conversation.
But man, we are in it. It is so hard
to navigate how much he can comprehend how much we take.
(23:21):
It's hard because you don't in public want your kids
to have an absolute mouthdown, but you also don't want
to reward bad behavior. I'm not interested in doing that because,
like you just said, I've seen people who play victim.
I see people who don't work hard. I see people
who parents gave them everything not doing it. For my kid, yes,
he's going to have a different lifestyle because his parents
(23:41):
work their ass off and we can give them that.
But this kid is going to learn a lot about responsibility, teamwork, discipline,
being a good kid because I've been around a lot
of assholes adults and kids, and I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
You know, you're not vacation, no, but you're not gonna
let your kid be an asshole. But the other thing too,
is that when you see the kid like screaming and
wanting the thing, the parents also just don't want to
deal with it. So it's like, here, just give him
the thing and just shut them up kind of a
deal because you're exhausted and you know whatever. But I
(24:15):
think the consistency on that is probably like the number
one like, because then what if you give in to
your kid, then the kid's like, yeah, I wore her down,
I'm gonna keep whatever he knows it. I know there's
I mean, he's only two, but yeah, he knows more
than you'd probably think. But yeah, anyways, I'm just proud
of the I was proud to see that parents today
still say that life isn't fair. That like old school
(24:38):
mentality of like okay, well yeah, but Johnny Johnny get
you get one, you know, and like Timmy gets one.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
No, Johnny and Timmy are not the same. If you
earn it, then you get it.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
If not not today, kid, or save up your allowance
and you can buy it yourself.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
But yeah, I don't know. I also had a moment.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
My other sort of takeaway from this week that I
wanted to highlight was gratitu when things are going well
because I feel like so.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Often, you know, we want to like and we do.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
This is actually like to bitch about stuff where you're like, oh,
this didn't happen, and then there was like you know,
I got you.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
It was in traffic, I was in this, I was
doing this or whatever. It's like I want to take
time when think when for example, like my flights, like
my I was traveling this week and all my flights
were on time, and I was like, well, let's show
appreciation for like there wasn't delay, there wasn't whatever, because
like we're always quick to like highlight when things go wrong.
I just want to be more mindful when things.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Go right and to like take that moment to be like, oh,
look at this, this was just a great day and
be poly positive because I do believe that psychologically, if
you're always talking about negative things, it's easy to be
negative in general and just feel this like weight of negativity.
So I'm going to for example, like I got to
(25:52):
my facial today, I still had time to get back
to make my coffee.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
There wasn't like an accident.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
On the road, but there was just all yeah, I
just want to take time to recognize and appreciate when
things go right, because we're always quick to point out
when they go wrong. So I'm in my gratitude era.
I'm also in my honesty era. Over the weekend, when
I was with some friends, I was like just being
like my whole thing lately is also like I'm not
going to talk behind your back if I'm going to
(26:19):
say it to your face, if I really care about you,
I'm going straight to the source and was I also
had some tough conversations with some people over the weekend,
and I'm sure they were probably like, shut up he did,
but I just yeah, like some couple people that I
hadn't seen in a while were going through some stuff
and I just wanted to like be hey, what's happening,
Like how can I help? Like let's whatever. But then
(26:39):
I also just went I said some things that other
people weren't going to say to them, and the other
people like kind of looked at me like WHOA, I
can't believe you just said that. But I'm like, I
don't want to talk behind your back if I'm not
going to say it to your face. If I really
do care about you, then you can hate me for
it in the moment, but hopefully you'll respect me for
it later, for having the ball to just say it,
(27:00):
because that's where I'm at. I want people I can
handle criticism. I mean, we live and work in a
job for the last twenty years where people criticize us
all the time, and it's like I can handle that,
no problem. But as long as the criticism is coming
from people that I care about, If it's Jimmy and
his basement, I don't really care about Jimmy and his basement,
but being open to criticism, working on myself and things
(27:23):
that I can get better at. But yeah, I just
believe that going straight to the sources really where I'm at.
Whether they want to hear it or not, maybe they'll
appreciate it later. So yeah, gratitude and my honesty era
is really at the forefront of my life right now.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
I love this. I love this era. Yeah, mine is
taken deep brath arat not to try to hold it.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
All right here and my good good I love that. Hey,
before we get out of here, we've got a couple
of years to do. I would love to do something.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, let's go. Okay, dude, we have PSA regarding scammers.
Remember you talked about scammers. Oh, okay, we have somebody
that wrote in scams follow up. This is from Jonathan.
You want to read it. This is long. You're better
at that. Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
So last week I talked about these scammers are getting
really good. I got a letter in the mail from Geico.
I don't even use in Geico insurance, but it looks
so real. And so Jonathan wrote in here PSA regarding scammers.
My father in law passed away unexpectedly back in September
of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
A few days after he passed, someone reached out and
called my mother in law from the funeral home looking
to collect payment for his funeral and cremation costs. She
ended up sending them twenty five hundred dollars via Apple
pay before talking to anyone in the family first. Come
to find out it was a scumbag scammer from an
owner phone that we had no way of tracking, and
she never got the money back. Pso PSA. If there
(28:55):
is apparently a common thing where people awful people's scour
obituaries and try to take advantage of grieving significant others,
always avoid paying when someone calls you hang up and
call the business directly. Oh my god. Well, first of all, Johnathan,
thanks so because we talked about this. We're like, they'll,
you know, older generations that like don't understand that this
(29:17):
could actually be real, like the letter that you get
in the mail or the phone call, and you're like, oh,
I don't want to have an outstanding bound, but how
awful is that? Like you're dealing with the loss of
someone and so obviously you're not your head's not in
the right place, and you're just like, so, yeah, that's
just kind of something I've been noticing a lot late,
and these scammers and with AI and everything else, it's
getting so real, and I feel bad because if you
(29:39):
do have an outstanding balance on something, you don't want
to be delinquent in it. But then you're also like,
in my is this actually going to the real thing?
So that's a good piece of advice. Don't obviously ever
pay over the phone and then just call the business directly.
But even in that Geico thing that I got it,
it had a line that you could call directly, and
I knew that wasn't real.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
So just ask.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Don't be so quick to just like, you know, pay something,
ask the follow up questions or like in my case,
I have an insurance guy and I'm like, hey, do
we what's going on here? So asking questions before you
just fork over the money. But thank you Jonathan for that. PSA, Oh,
I am on a real mersade to help mitigate these scammers,
because yeah, not on my watch, not today.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Folks feel so bad for these people.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I know, Okay some of the headlines, which one do
you want to get into girl let's do the Korean
botox because everybody knows it. Around about this time last year,
I decided to take it upon myself to watch these
TikTok videos try this Korean skincare. Apparently my mix wasn't
great with my skin.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I ended up having to get on three antibiotics because
I had massive acne, which wasn't cute. Okay, so what's
what do we think? This is called? Inno talks in
a talx? Sure? What is in a talx? People on
social media are self injecting Korean botox at home. Sounds
like some Chris and I would try, and sounds like
(31:02):
something we shouldn't try. Surprise, I haven't. It's a trend
of people purchasing inotos made by a Korean company and
also referred to as Korean botox or k botox from
third party retailers, which is never good online, in an
effort to smooth crows feet and brow lines on a budget.
I got to tell you this sounds like such a
(31:22):
bad idea.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
I ew, okay, yeah, but I'm shocked that I haven't
done it, So we need to be careful about that.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Would you dare? No, let's not. Let's not be.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I don't think we should be doing anything with like
injecting needles. I mean, look, I know you've had to
do it for infertility before, but that's also scary when
you're like given needles at home and like, oh good luck,
go do this, but in.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Your face and stuff. I know. Okay, So Molly O. Rourke,
a registered nurse and nurse injector, told today dot Com
it's just really not something that you could learn comprehensively
yourself online as a lay person. They're showing injection points.
This is I'm assuming on TikTok over your thyroid and
over muscles that help you breathe. If you go too deep,
(32:08):
you're going to affect your breathing. That sort of thing
really freaks me out. Yeah, let's not do that.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I'm just worried about a bad brow. I've had an
injector before, which like I had last year too, and
it was like one was going up this direction and
then the other one. I'm like, okay, let's just keep
these bad boys on an even playing field here, because
there are think about all the muscles in your face.
I know this when I got Bell's palsy from the
stress in my life. There are so many muscles in
your face, and if you hit the wrong muscle, I
(32:35):
mean you even say like sometimes that people start to
talking sideways and shit goes wrong. So just keep the
needles away from your face, unless it's administered by a
professional that you've actually vetted. Next headline, Oh God, here's
the nasty reason why you should never trust the plastic
hygiene liners on bathing suits. When it comes to swimwhere shopping,
one of the worst things you can do is try on.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
A suit fully nude. Who's doing that? No tiny underwear?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Like come on, well, I know, although bathing suit bottoms
usually have a plastic hygiene liner, which again has been
trying if someone's trying this on naked, it's that that
said liner's also been touched by other people that are naked.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Gross.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Nicholas I Chair a scientist from Chicago. He took it
upon himself to swab the plastic seal two different bathing
suit bottoms that hung in a retail store and place
them into a peatrie dish and see what kind of
bacteria lives on them. The moral of the story is
always try on bathing suits with some sort of barrier. Yeah,
I hope everyone knew that. But if not, let's not
be trying on bathing suits without underwear on.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
I feel like this is something I learned at a
very young age.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
No, I know, I know, but you know what, Look,
we're out here to help people with scammers and banial liners.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Hey here's another thing. You know what I hate? And yes,
like I use a piece of tissue. I hate taking
it off. Then you got to roll it up and
it's sticky and thrown it out. I want that thing
out of my life. You gotta take it all off.
The bathing seal. I hadn't thought about that. Oh, I guess.
I guess they make the disposal very difficult. And then
(34:07):
like sometimes you think you hit the can and you didn't,
and now it's on the floor and you're grabbing another
piece and sometimes it hits you. It's just a whole thing.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Oh no, this is okay, all right? So yeah, I
hadn't thought about the disposal part. But yeah, there we go,
last but not least hit it.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Girl, God, this kid's close to home. Five year old
goes on a three thousand dollars online shopping spree while
parents are asleep. Currently on the phone, crying to Amazon.
Parents of a little five year old boy learned the
hard way to never leave their child unattended with their phone.
After waking up to an over three thousand dollars Amazon
(34:45):
bill Jeff that they didn't make the little mom's The
little shopper's mom captioned her video and casually had another
seven hundred dollars of items in the cart ready to
check out before we caught him. I'm currently on the
phone and crying to Amazon. My husband is on the
phone crying with our bank. Oh God, this is something
I'm gonna say. My two year old, he does not
(35:08):
he we do not allow him to have a phone.
If there's times of need, like on a plane, in
a restaurant, when he's about to lose it, we'll shove
on some sort of like Disney Show, Miss Rachel Elmo
for him to watch. The problem is this kid, it's amazing.
It's amazing what they're able to do. He sees me
(35:30):
using my phone, which is a lot. Unfortunately, he sees
me using the iPad. My kid loves music. I just
spin everywhere. My kid loves music. We do, you know,
Disney In the morning, we'll do some of our jams
to let him have fun. He sees us hit jams.
He sees us hit Spotify. This kid knows Spotify. Our
(35:51):
nanny has an Apple Watch. Last night at dinner, he
was playing around with it. She goes, he knew Spotify.
This kid, no, it's insane. He knows how to flip,
he knows how to get out of it. Of course
she doesn't have a phone. Yeah, so I could see
this happening. Absolutely, do not leave her phone with your child.
We have a friend in California and she was around
(36:15):
my kid at a farmer's market. She gave her phone
to my kid. He locked her out of it.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Oh right, because he's trying to get in and doesn't
know the pass code. So it's like, yeah, i'll give
it ten minutes. Now we're waiting four hours.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Disney Channel on Chinese yesterday, Like, it's just a lot happening.
His bad lingual.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I easily could see how that could happen, especially with
an Apple Pay where it's a double click situation.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Although the face, I.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Don't know what the issue or how do we get
around that, But yeah, these little fuckers are so hard
they'll figure out how to do it. I feel for
these parents though exactly, let's go back to that, Scott Thompson.
But yeah, and then of course you're calling Amazon or
your comment and they're like, oh, sure the kid did it,
but you're like, look at what they're buying.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Go I did it. It was me. I was wasted.
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
All right, kids, Well, we love you, thank you for
listening more. All of the story is we need to
get on the ritz, Carlton cruise. We're very grateful for
our lives. Life is not fair. Aaron's taking on pickleball
like a champ.
