medication for my fibromyalgia, and immediately got sick.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Obviously.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
I was telling you that, like, I actually feel so
good right now because I was actually able to shower
and wash my hair and lotion, and because I just
I was so dizzy and I got hit with all
of the side effects, which is very typical for me.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I know, like, you guys are so sick.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So what happened?
Speaker 3 (07:18):

Speaker 2 (07:18):
No, no, talk about it because there's other people that
are definitely going through this.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I mean this, this particular drug is meant to calm
nerve pain. It's also meant for anxiety and depression. I
was like, oh, this would be great if it works out,
because it kind of like hits all the things. It
does work well for a lot of people, just not
for me.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I was about three four hours after you are like
under a black cloud.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Well here's the thing though, I'm staying positive about things
because you know, for one, and Danielle and I will
will tell you about our little visit that we just had.
But also I think I'm going to just try to
do acupuncture. Danielle told me about this but like two
months ago. Ah huh, I gotten on it. Back then.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
My rheumatologist was like, you.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Need to go to acupuncture. I think that it'll actually
help a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So what areas have been bothering you? Though?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I mean with the side effects?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Are normally the side effects? What happened? Because I know
normally it's usually like your legs. Yeah, usually I get.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Hit in the I get cramped weird like Zingi's in
the legs a lot. It's my feet. It was my
elbow for a while. It's just like general I call
it general mayonnaise, you know, general malaise. Oh god, I
like calling it general mayonnaise. Whenever you just feel a
little schmet, General mayonnaise but with this I three to
four hours after I took that first pill, I was
(08:39):
like dizzy, I had the shakes in my hands and
then I was nauseous for about twenty four hours. Oh
no funny, And I said, I know that probably symptoms
get better, but I can't do this. And the doctor's like, no,
pull it because also my heart was raising and that
concern them.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
That's where we're at.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
So we're going to be making that acupuncture appointment. I know,
don we're staying positive.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
We need somebody. I gotta good woman.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
You know you gave me your woman.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I think I'm gonna I'm gonna look into her, but
I also want to look in to see if there's
somebody closer to my home. Okay, fair enough, Yeah, I
know it'll make I know I'll actually go if it's
something somewhere convenient to go to.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
As Danielle said, we're happy you're on vacation to be
going through this right now. Imagine you're here.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Can you imagine if I was in the office yesterday
that would have been a nightmare.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
And by the way, the acupuncturist is my cousin.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
So oh so maybe I should maybe I should go.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Does she make house calls.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
She does it all. And you know what, She'll throw
one extra stuff for you for nothing.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Now you got you're the friends and family discount like
a massage.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
She does it all.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Babe, stop resent that. I'm gonna pay it to the
top of our child.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
She's the best.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I think everybody's your cousin, Danielle.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I feel like that too.
Speaker 4 (09:53):

Speaker 1 (09:54):
In the Italian family, everybody.
Speaker 4 (09:55):

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, she's blood.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Okay, this is good, this is really good information.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Maybe she can squeeze me so you.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Know what, Wendy, And if it works for you, then
we'll tell the listeners because then they might want to
get on board and then we're going to get your
cousin fully booked.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Oh yeah, my doctor was telling me that acupuncture really
can be helpful.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I mean, yeah, yeah, no, it is helpful. It helps
me a lot.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I've done it a few times here and there. I
think it's one of those things you probably have to
be consistent with. I don't think it's like a one.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Time consistent with it. And then also with my fibroids
and everything, she hit points on on my body that
helped with the fibroid pain and and my my bleeding.
Oh yeah, I stopped she stopped me from bleeding.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Wow, it's really amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
She's going to have you doing cartwheels down the street.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
We're gonna use the cartwheel line again in our intro.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Oh my god, it's al me all works out.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I don't want to. I don't want to be a
Debbie downer. You know, we're trying to keep this episode positive. Which,
by the way, can I ask either of you have
you watched this show Heated Rivalry?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Never shut up?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
It's on HBO Max.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
It's my this is my new identity.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Do you want to give me your login?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Which I got it for free. So if I.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Called my uh my internet service provider, and I was like, can.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You keep me as a customer?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
I really needed and they like threw that in for freeze.
I don't know that I can actually share it, but
oh my god, this show is about hockey players and
they're super hot and they're all like into.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Each other, and it is what you did.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I'm still in the dark.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
The only hockey players I know are my best friend's brothers.
They're former hockey players.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Other than that, I don't know any hockey players.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I mean, it's so hot.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
They're like, there's in case anybody knows that the former
Rangers Kristen Peter Ferraro, I don't know, brothers. What yes,
And by the way, they are hot, just putting it up.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
You should ask them if there's any truth to like,
you know.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I bet you they probably watched it. I'll text them,
I'll ask.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Text them, text them this show. It's not just me.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Women are rabbid over this show. We're like so into
these guys.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Okay, first off, there, everybody in the show is gorgeous.
I don't know how realistic it is.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
A players are pretty damn good looking.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Yeah, but what I think, what I think what makes
this so appealing to women specifically, is just the fact
that neither character is fixing one another like or holding
all the power, which I feel like, you know, as
a woman, there's always like an imbalance in the dynamic.
So these two main characters, like they're pretty evenly matched
(12:52):
in talent and you know, emotional intensity and their confidence
and there it's just so it's so hot, it is
so spicy. It might be the spiciest show. My friend
calls it hockey porn. Really you if you can get access,
you need to watch listen.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I'm not spending what is it probably like ten dollars
a month just to go watch hockey porn.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I'm okay, okay, you're missing out though.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Maybe I'll get it out, you know what, my sure obsessions.
I'm sure there's a.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Way to maybe like get a firestick. That's she all
broke in to get in there to go watch it somehow,
some way. Maybe it's on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I don't know. I'll figure it out.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
And by the way, to you if people and the
song all the things she said by tattoo is trending. God,
that's why from episode four I used to play that
back at be a Lie. I remember the song. Oh
I love it. And there's this remix that's going around
that's already charting because of this show.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Okay, Well we know what Wendy's doing on her vacation, Yeah,
enjoying that hockey.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Poorn, hockey poor punk, yeah punk Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Dan, y'all said, mm hmmm, I love it, yeah, asked her.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
We have to ask you, what what's going on with Frenchie?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Oh wait, Francois fran.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Actually we had our fourth date the other day. Not
that I'm counting, but I'm kind of counting because it's like, Wow,
it's like you know nowadays because from what I hear,
because obviously, you know, I'm so new into this whole
dating world thing, but a lot of my friends are like,
I never make it past the first barely even the
second date. And I'm like, really, I'm like, I'm at
number four. They're like, that's good. I was like, it
(14:30):
actually is really good. He's so nice, guys.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I can't wait to meet him.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I mean, yeah, oh my god, wait, can I just
tell you. I have to tell you about this because
this is actually really funny. But so last week we
shouted my sister out because it was her engagement party,
which I went to this past weekend, and she loves
our podcast by the way, so I didn't even know
that she was listening. Her fiance had texted me while
I was out with Francois and was like, oh, Arissa
(14:57):
listened to the podcast. Thank you for the shout out.
I was like, I didn't know she listens.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
He goes, yeah, she supports her sister, and I was like,
so I'm laughing.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
He's like, what I was like, oh, my sister listened
to the podcast. He's like, oh, you have a podcast.
I'm like, yeah, oh that's how it, yes, and he goes, oh,
where do I find this podcast? I go, oh, you
want to listen? It's okay because we had just talked
about him, and he goes, no, I really want to
hear it.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I'm like, no, you don't.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I hope he doesn't go back to listen to the
ball podcasts.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Oh gosh, ago, that's I feel well, that's only because
we were talking about how people should get them lizard,
but that had nothing to do with.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Us that got zapped and tapped.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah, he did a lifetime ago.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
So anyway, so we were at the Bryant Park Winter
Village and he's like, send me the link right now,
like he wouldn't let me walk until I sent.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Him the actual link.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
And I was like partially kind of embarrassed because I'm like,
I just know I just spoke about him, and I
don't know how he's going to react or take it,
you know, let me tell you. As soon as I
got home, he sends me a text Francois.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
And we didn't talk about.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Him until like halfway through and I was like, oh
my gosh, and he goes, I loved it so much,
so I think he's now a fan and I and
then on date number four the other day, he actually
was like, when's the next podcast dropping?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I said, are you we.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Got a face?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That?
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Why you you woke me up early on my vacation.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Just kidding, just kidding, Francois, he's a fan, saw.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
A fan?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, thank you?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
All right, so now we'll change his name to fans
swap until we come up with something better. But no, no, no, honestly,
he's such a gentleman. He's super sweet.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
He just left for for Paris, So is.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That why you're wearing your Paris I'm wearing my Chanel
sweatshirt in honor of mister fan Sis.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
That's cute.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
So I'm guessing what he has some family that he's
visiting for the holiday.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
He goes there for the holiday for Christmas, and I'm
trying to convince him to come back for New Year's
Like it's crazy because he's he said he's not coming
back until January fifth.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
That's too long, Francois.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Fans waw, that's too long, And I said, listen, I'm
doing something for New Year's I think you should come back.
He's like, are you trying to convince me? I'm like, possibly, yeah,
quite possibly.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
So I don't know the last time you had a
New Year's kiss astra.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh my god, I can't even remember what's Yes, it
was way before COVID, that's for damn sure.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, kiss you?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Okay, thank you? Yeah, no, I haven't. So here's the thing.
Oh no, I don't even want to say because he's
probably listening. Oh gosh, he has to be careful. I'll
put it out there anyway. I mean, I said it
to him anyway. But how cool would it be if
he were to just come back? That would be the
best surprise ever. Imagine he like just shows up like, hey,
I'm here. I'd be like that with a boot box
(17:51):
in hand at your window.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Because I told a few of my friends, I said,
why don't we do a little get together for New
Year's Eve? I want to have like a little party
at my apartment because I have the hook up my
boy Jude from the NYPD big shots to.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
The Boys in Blue.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
He always hooks me up on New Year's Eve, walks
me into the NYPD Pen area, which is a great
spot to see.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
The ball drop?
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Oh in Times Square?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yes, I know. Do not make that face.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Is it a mad house?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Do not make that face? And I'll explain why it's
a madhouse. If you're one of the people that have
to get there, no, if you if you want to,
I'll be outside.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Here's the thing. If you're one of those people.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Time, let me explain.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
If you're one of those people, like the tourists or
the fans that are like, I want to see the
ball drop, they're there at like six seven, eight o'clock
in the morning, and they're standing all day, all night
in d and they're wearing which is disgusting. I would
never do something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I'm a New Yorker, I'm born and raised here. I
used to always say, ew, who the hell would go
to the ball drop? But let me tell you, when
you get the vv VP treatment and you.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Get to show up at like eleven thirty eleven forty
at night, you get walked right into the middle of
Times Square. Pat Craft through my NYPD Police score brings
me and my friends right through.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
People look at us like, who are these celebrities coming through?
We are who we are.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
If you don't know, now you know, we will wave
to you on our way through. We come right into
the middle of Times Square. It's like eleven forty, the
crowd buzzing, the confetti's like about to start falling. Boom,
the countdown hits, boom, the ball drops and boom you
are out of there. That is the best way to
celebrate New Year's even in Times Square. If you do
not have that hook up, sorry, not sorry, but that's
(19:29):
how I'm doing it.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
And that is why if fansa were to come home,
we could go to see the ball drop.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Just putting it out there, I'll go and if not, yes,
if not, Danielle, you could be my kissing partner.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Okay, listen, I.
Speaker 4 (19:43):

There's one stop shop where like they they will focus
on your internal health and external and.
Speaker 5 (20:13):

Speaker 5 (20:44):
Do you like pottery?
Speaker 1 (20:45):

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Pottery the way they do it in the movie Ghost,
where you're sitting there it's spinning and you put.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Your hands and you're you're going to come behind you

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yes, I need that.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I need maybe fans swacket sit behind me. He's not here,
so Wendy, yes, you can sit behind me. We can
play the music together with our fingers in the wet
muddy goo.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Oh my god, you have to get on, by the way,
I'm just like taking.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
I'll stay on a couple more minutes.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
All right.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
So I wanted to get in trouble, Oh well, I
don't get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
She is the boss she is the boss.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
So yeah, so we had a great time and Wendy
got some stuff done. I got my eyes done, my lips,
I was gonna do my nose, like fill in a
couple of things.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
But also, isn't he he has the most gentle touch. Yeah,
I don't remember botox not hurting, Like I barely felt
the thing.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I'm going for mine today, guys. Yeah, yeah, I'm going
down to Medspot downtown.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Oh excited.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
It's been a while.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I haven't gotten anything done since May.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I I kind of I cut back significantly too, just
because I've been trying to save money with the house
and the same serious things, and honestly, do we really
need it every couple of months.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I mean, I mean I feel like we all look
so good and we don't really need anything. But you
know what it is, you want to feel good at
its Yeah, you just want to when you feel good,
then you put out those you know.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yes, it was literally what we were just talking about
with Fassel, yep, because that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I know, when I look and feel good, I'm like
walking around like I own the world.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah, exactly, And then like I want to fix the
inside of my lip because it goes up.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
And she lifts her lips, but I can't see. I
know she's literally her lips up. I'm like, I see,
this is a podcast. They're listening.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Get her up, flip flip.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
They gotta cut my gum.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Oh gosh, oh gosh.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yeah, that's the it's painful. Yeah, I love your lips,
like I wish mine well like that.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
And it's funny because I always I'm like, should I
use something to my lips? And people like, don't touch
your lips. I'm like, but I wish they were like
I don't know, maybe a little bit like plumpier, like
I always wanted, like the Kylie lip.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I feel like it would look weird, I.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Think, so yeah, I feel like that is a trend
and I and then what happens is you start feeling
it like that you might always have to right or
when they.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Get deflated, they might look weird.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Yeah, you might have stretched them out a little bit,
so I mean I wouldn't like.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
A little bit sure, but yeah, I guess you.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Know, anything that's anything that's a trend. I always like,
we almost.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Look at ourselves as imperfect. We have to start looking at.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Ourselves as perfect because you know why when people compliment us,
obviously they're seeing us for what we don't see. I
need to start taking those compliments and actually like digesting
them properly.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
No, I agree.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I mean, listen, I'm the first to say I have
body dysmorphia.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Like I'm always saying I feel like I look fat
or whatever, and then it's like I've.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Lost weight, but I still feel like I look fat.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
No, you're not fat.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
You're absolutely not well, thank you. I think we all
I'll have a little bit of the dysmorphia.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Sad, I'm you sure do it is sad? You know
what it is.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
It's also due to social media and everything that's put
out there, and filters.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Filters don't help filters.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Make I think I go b after the kids coming
up now, because it's they don't know life any other way.
They only know perfection and coming up comparing themselves to
everyone else.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I mean, I'm a photo from right that we had
to print out at like CBS.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Remember that.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I remember that Jeva Genevie's the little date on the
bottom right, My god, or polaroid pictures shake when they
came out, so that you know they could dry and
you could look them. We never We couldn't even zoom
into those pictures now people ever.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Do you ever actually try to zoom in on paper print?
Every once in a while, I you know, somebody's showing
me something on paper, and I like try to zoom
in to make it bigger.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I don't do.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
It's like a habit. I get it.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I saw that, I've done it, But it's almost like
a habit, like you see something you want to zoom in.
There have been times where I've showed people a picture
and they try to do it. I'm like, what are
you doing? Like, oh, this isn't a digital photo. I'm like,
it's just a picture. Like you can't zoom with your fingers.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Oh my gosh, I can't.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
It is so bad, I know.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So yeah, So what's everybody doing for the holidays? Do
you guys want to come over for New Year's Eve?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
If you're welcome, oh, thank you. Maybe if you.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Want to see the ball drop. It's fun time.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
The crowds. But I do appreciate the invite.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Okay, well, just so just always listen.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
I always appreciate a good invitation, but I almost ninety
nine percent of the time do not show well, when
do you.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
You don't have to show you're invited, Danielle, you're invited
as well.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
If you'd like to call thank you.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You can see the biggest ball in the world drop
in front of your.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Fact to do this, we've said balls four times today.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
You've been counting the ball meter.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
What's going on the ball meter? At least it's in
a different context.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Honestly, it's a brand new ball.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
This year at all.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, I love brand new balls.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Do they fit on this thing at this time?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I don't crystal they put it? They put swousands. Yeah,
they put thousands on bugle. It's like a bigger sized
ball this year, and it's a brand new one.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Like they got rid of the old ball, the old bowl.
They gave away those crystals.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
You where would it be? Like where what do they
do with it?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
They probably turned them into ornaments. I bet that would
be really cool because they're a little like triangles.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Anyways, you can make them into and then.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Example that used to be on the ball in times square.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
It's right, that's pretty dope. Yeah, Danielle's looking at how
many crystals are on the balls.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Yeah, because every year they kind of give us a
little stat sheet.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Oh her face.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
There must be a lot number of crystals. Five thousand,
two hundred and eighty water food crystals. Wow, it switched
from triangular to circular crystals.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Ooh, that's way.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
So we have balls circular balls on the big ball.
That's perfect.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
The theme for twenty twenty six is infinite joy, infinite light,
infinite beginnings. That's great.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
A lot of that kind of brings things full circle
here because we were talking about how we were all
like schmet but we're gonna look more positively as we
head into twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
New beginnings and new happiness, life, knew everything. Yeah, I'm
so excited for all of us. I know twenty six
brings for us guys.
Speaker 5 (27:05):
Here's the unhappiness guy.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
And you know what we're gonna start bringing in some
drinks is we have to actually do what tails over cocktails.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Oh that means I'm gonna have to go.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Maybe that means our listeners and our fans are gonna
be hitting me up because they're gonna want bottles. Yes,
oh am, I gonna have to bring back the business.
Maybe all right. Well, on that note, I have to
think about that. We're gonna wrap things up here.

See and Ali, I try. I tried to give you treats. Ali,
you denied my treats. So you know what, I know,
I can't help you out.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
This catches lots of garbage.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Literally, Now I know what to get him for Veronica.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Oh my god, don't spoil him anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Please. So how's your vacation been, Wendy.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
So it's been good.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I mean I've been relaxing a lot, started a new
medication for my fibromyalgia, and immediately got sick.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Obviously.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
I was telling you that, like, I actually feel so
good right now because I was actually able to shower
and wash my hair and lotion, and because I just
I was so dizzy and I got hit with all
of the side effects, which is very typical for me.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I know, like, you guys are so sick.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So what happened?
Speaker 3 (07:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
No, no, talk about it because there's other people that
are definitely going through this.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I mean this, this particular drug is meant to calm
nerve pain. It's also meant for anxiety and depression. I
was like, oh, this would be great if it works out,
because it kind of like hits all the things. It
does work well for a lot of people, just not
for me.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
I was about three four hours after you are like
under a black cloud.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Well here's the thing though, I'm staying positive about things
because you know, for one, and Danielle and I will
will tell you about our little visit that we just had.
But also I think I'm going to just try to
do acupuncture. Danielle told me about this but like two
months ago. Ah huh, I gotten on it. Back then.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
My rheumatologist was like, you.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Need to go to acupuncture. I think that it'll actually
help a lot.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
So what areas have been bothering you? Though?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
I mean with the side effects?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Are normally the side effects? What happened? Because I know
normally it's usually like your legs. Yeah, usually I get.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Hit in the I get cramped weird like Zingi's in
the legs a lot. It's my feet. It was my
elbow for a while. It's just like general I call
it general mayonnaise, you know, general malaise. Oh god, I
like calling it general mayonnaise. Whenever you just feel a
little schmet, General mayonnaise but with this I three to
four hours after I took that first pill, I was
(08:39):
like dizzy, I had the shakes in my hands and
then I was nauseous for about twenty four hours. Oh
no funny, And I said, I know that probably symptoms
get better, but I can't do this. And the doctor's like, no,
pull it because also my heart was raising and that
concern them.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
That's where we're at.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
So we're going to be making that acupuncture appointment. I know,
don we're staying positive.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
We need somebody. I gotta good woman.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
You know you gave me your woman.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I think I'm gonna I'm gonna look into her, but
I also want to look in to see if there's
somebody closer to my home. Okay, fair enough, Yeah, I
know it'll make I know I'll actually go if it's
something somewhere convenient to go to.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
As Danielle said, we're happy you're on vacation to be
going through this right now. Imagine you're here.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Can you imagine if I was in the office yesterday
that would have been a nightmare.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
And by the way, the acupuncturist is my cousin.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
So oh so maybe I should maybe I should go.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Does she make house calls.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
She does it all. And you know what, She'll throw
one extra stuff for you for nothing.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Now you got you're the friends and family discount like
a massage.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
She does it all.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
Babe, stop resent that. I'm gonna pay it to the
top of our child.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
She's the best.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
I think everybody's your cousin, Danielle.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
I feel like that too.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Well.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
In the Italian family, everybody.
Speaker 4 (09:55):

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, she's blood.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Okay, this is good, this is really good information.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Maybe she can squeeze me so you.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Know what, Wendy, And if it works for you, then
we'll tell the listeners because then they might want to
get on board and then we're going to get your
cousin fully booked.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Oh yeah, my doctor was telling me that acupuncture really
can be helpful.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I mean, yeah, yeah, no, it is helpful. It helps
me a lot.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I've done it a few times here and there. I
think it's one of those things you probably have to
be consistent with. I don't think it's like a one.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Time consistent with it. And then also with my fibroids
and everything, she hit points on on my body that
helped with the fibroid pain and and my my bleeding.
Oh yeah, I stopped she stopped me from bleeding.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Wow, it's really amazing.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
She's going to have you doing cartwheels down the street.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
We're gonna use the cartwheel line again in our intro.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Oh my god, it's al me all works out.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I don't want to. I don't want to be a
Debbie downer. You know, we're trying to keep this episode positive. Which,
by the way, can I ask either of you have
you watched this show Heated Rivalry?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Never shut up?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
It's on HBO Max.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
It's my this is my new identity.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Do you want to give me your login?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Which I got it for free. So if I.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Called my uh my internet service provider, and I was like, can.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
You keep me as a customer?
Speaker 4 (11:28):
I really needed and they like threw that in for freeze.
I don't know that I can actually share it, but
oh my god, this show is about hockey players and
they're super hot and they're all like into.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Each other, and it is what you did.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I'm still in the dark.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
The only hockey players I know are my best friend's brothers.
They're former hockey players.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Other than that, I don't know any hockey players.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
I mean, it's so hot.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
They're like, there's in case anybody knows that the former
Rangers Kristen Peter Ferraro, I don't know, brothers. What yes,
And by the way, they are hot, just putting it up.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
You should ask them if there's any truth to like,
you know.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I bet you they probably watched it. I'll text them,
I'll ask.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
Text them, text them this show. It's not just me.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Women are rabbid over this show. We're like so into
these guys.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Okay, first off, there, everybody in the show is gorgeous.
I don't know how realistic it is.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
A players are pretty damn good looking.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Yeah, but what I think, what I think what makes
this so appealing to women specifically, is just the fact
that neither character is fixing one another like or holding
all the power, which I feel like, you know, as
a woman, there's always like an imbalance in the dynamic.
So these two main characters, like they're pretty evenly matched
(12:52):
in talent and you know, emotional intensity and their confidence
and there it's just so it's so hot, it is
so spicy. It might be the spiciest show. My friend
calls it hockey porn. Really you if you can get access,
you need to watch listen.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I'm not spending what is it probably like ten dollars
a month just to go watch hockey porn.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I'm okay, okay, you're missing out though.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Maybe I'll get it out, you know what, my sure obsessions.
I'm sure there's a.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Way to maybe like get a firestick. That's she all
broke in to get in there to go watch it somehow,
some way. Maybe it's on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I don't know. I'll figure it out.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
And by the way, to you if people and the
song all the things she said by tattoo is trending. God,
that's why from episode four I used to play that
back at be a Lie. I remember the song. Oh
I love it. And there's this remix that's going around
that's already charting because of this show.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Okay, Well we know what Wendy's doing on her vacation, Yeah,
enjoying that hockey.
Speaker 3 (13:51):

Speaker 4 (14:00):
We have to ask you, what what's going on with Frenchie?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Oh wait, Francois fran.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Actually we had our fourth date the other day. Not
that I'm counting, but I'm kind of counting because it's like, Wow,
it's like you know nowadays because from what I hear,
because obviously, you know, I'm so new into this whole
dating world thing, but a lot of my friends are like,
I never make it past the first barely even the
second date. And I'm like, really, I'm like, I'm at
number four. They're like, that's good. I was like, it
(14:30):
actually is really good. He's so nice, guys.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I can't wait to meet him.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I mean, yeah, oh my god, wait, can I just
tell you. I have to tell you about this because
this is actually really funny. But so last week we
shouted my sister out because it was her engagement party,
which I went to this past weekend, and she loves
our podcast by the way, so I didn't even know
that she was listening. Her fiance had texted me while
I was out with Francois and was like, oh, Arissa
(14:57):
listened to the podcast. Thank you for the shout out.
I was like, I didn't know she listens.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
He goes, yeah, she supports her sister, and I was like,
so I'm laughing.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
He's like, what I was like, oh, my sister listened
to the podcast. He's like, oh, you have a podcast.
I'm like, yeah, oh that's how it, yes, and he goes, oh,
where do I find this podcast? I go, oh, you
want to listen? It's okay because we had just talked
about him, and he goes, no, I really want to
hear it.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I'm like, no, you don't.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I hope he doesn't go back to listen to the
ball podcasts.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Oh gosh, ago, that's I feel well, that's only because
we were talking about how people should get them lizard,
but that had nothing to do with.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Us that got zapped and tapped.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yeah, he did a lifetime ago.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
So anyway, so we were at the Bryant Park Winter
Village and he's like, send me the link right now,
like he wouldn't let me walk until I sent.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Him the actual link.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
And I was like partially kind of embarrassed because I'm like,
I just know I just spoke about him, and I
don't know how he's going to react or take it,
you know, let me tell you. As soon as I
got home, he sends me a text Francois.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
And we didn't talk about.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Him until like halfway through and I was like, oh
my gosh, and he goes, I loved it so much,
so I think he's now a fan and I and
then on date number four the other day, he actually
was like, when's the next podcast dropping?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I said, are you we.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Got a face?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
That?
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Why you you woke me up early on my vacation.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Just kidding, just kidding, Francois, he's a fan, saw.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
A fan?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah, thank you?
Speaker 2 (16:38):
All right, so now we'll change his name to fans
swap until we come up with something better. But no, no, no, honestly,
he's such a gentleman. He's super sweet.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
He just left for for Paris, So is.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
That why you're wearing your Paris I'm wearing my Chanel
sweatshirt in honor of mister fan Sis.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
That's cute.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
So I'm guessing what he has some family that he's
visiting for the holiday.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
He goes there for the holiday for Christmas, and I'm
trying to convince him to come back for New Year's
Like it's crazy because he's he said he's not coming
back until January fifth.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
That's too long, Francois.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Fans waw, that's too long, And I said, listen, I'm
doing something for New Year's I think you should come back.
He's like, are you trying to convince me? I'm like, possibly, yeah,
quite possibly.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
So I don't know the last time you had a
New Year's kiss astra.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Oh my god, I can't even remember what's Yes, it
was way before COVID, that's for damn sure.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, kiss you?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Okay, thank you? Yeah, no, I haven't. So here's the thing.
Oh no, I don't even want to say because he's
probably listening. Oh gosh, he has to be careful. I'll
put it out there anyway. I mean, I said it
to him anyway. But how cool would it be if
he were to just come back? That would be the
best surprise ever. Imagine he like just shows up like, hey,
I'm here. I'd be like that with a boot box
(17:51):
in hand at your window.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Well, here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Because I told a few of my friends, I said,
why don't we do a little get together for New
Year's Eve? I want to have like a little party
at my apartment because I have the hook up my
boy Jude from the NYPD big shots to.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
The Boys in Blue.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
He always hooks me up on New Year's Eve, walks
me into the NYPD Pen area, which is a great
spot to see.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
The ball drop?
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Oh in Times Square?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yes, I know. Do not make that face.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Is it a mad house?
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Do not make that face? And I'll explain why it's
a madhouse. If you're one of the people that have
to get there, no, if you if you want to,
I'll be outside.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Here's the thing. If you're one of those people.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Time, let me explain.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
If you're one of those people, like the tourists or
the fans that are like, I want to see the
ball drop, they're there at like six seven, eight o'clock
in the morning, and they're standing all day, all night
in d and they're wearing which is disgusting. I would
never do something like that.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I'm a New Yorker, I'm born and raised here. I
used to always say, ew, who the hell would go
to the ball drop? But let me tell you, when
you get the vv VP treatment and you.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Get to show up at like eleven thirty eleven forty
at night, you get walked right into the middle of
Times Square. Pat Craft through my NYPD Police score brings
me and my friends right through.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
People look at us like, who are these celebrities coming through?
We are who we are.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
If you don't know, now you know, we will wave
to you on our way through. We come right into
the middle of Times Square. It's like eleven forty, the
crowd buzzing, the confetti's like about to start falling. Boom,
the countdown hits, boom, the ball drops and boom you
are out of there. That is the best way to
celebrate New Year's even in Times Square. If you do
not have that hook up, sorry, not sorry, but that's
(19:29):
how I'm doing it.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
And that is why if fansa were to come home,
we could go to see the ball drop.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Just putting it out there, I'll go and if not, yes,
if not, Danielle, you could be my kissing partner.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Okay, listen, I.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Mean it looks like your lips are nice and parky.
Speaker 3 (19:45):

don't sorry to make you feel left, but we went
all the way up to Long Island in stuff the county.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
There's one stop shop where like they they will focus
on your internal health and external and.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
When we talk about fozzle. Can we talk about Fuzzle

Speaker 5 (20:44):
Do you like pottery?
Speaker 1 (20:45):

Pottery the way they do it in the movie Ghost,
where you're sitting there it's spinning and you put.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Your hands and you're you're going to come behind you

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yes, I need that.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I need maybe fans swacket sit behind me. He's not here,
so Wendy, yes, you can sit behind me. We can
play the music together with our fingers in the wet
muddy goo.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
Oh my god, you have to get on, by the way,
I'm just like taking.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
I'll stay on a couple more minutes.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
All right.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
So I wanted to get in trouble, Oh well, I
don't get in trouble.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
She is the boss she is the boss.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
So yeah, so we had a great time and Wendy
got some stuff done. I got my eyes done, my lips,
I was gonna do my nose, like fill in a
couple of things.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
But also, isn't he he has the most gentle touch. Yeah,
I don't remember botox not hurting, Like I barely felt
the thing.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I'm going for mine today, guys. Yeah, yeah, I'm going
down to Medspot downtown.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Oh excited.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
It's been a while.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I haven't gotten anything done since May.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I I kind of I cut back significantly too, just
because I've been trying to save money with the house
and the same serious things, and honestly, do we really
need it every couple of months.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
I mean, I mean I feel like we all look
so good and we don't really need anything. But you
know what it is, you want to feel good at
its Yeah, you just want to when you feel good,
then you put out those you know.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yes, it was literally what we were just talking about
with Fassel, yep, because that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
I know, when I look and feel good, I'm like
walking around like I own the world.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah, exactly, And then like I want to fix the
inside of my lip because it goes up.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
And she lifts her lips, but I can't see. I
know she's literally her lips up. I'm like, I see,
this is a podcast. They're listening.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Get her up, flip flip.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
They gotta cut my gum.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Oh gosh, oh gosh.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Yeah, that's the it's painful. Yeah, I love your lips,
like I wish mine well like that.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
And it's funny because I always I'm like, should I
use something to my lips? And people like, don't touch
your lips. I'm like, but I wish they were like
I don't know, maybe a little bit like plumpier, like
I always wanted, like the Kylie lip.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
I feel like it would look weird, I.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Think, so yeah, I feel like that is a trend
and I and then what happens is you start feeling
it like that you might always have to right or
when they.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Get deflated, they might look weird.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Yeah, you might have stretched them out a little bit,
so I mean I wouldn't like.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
A little bit sure, but yeah, I guess you.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
Know, anything that's anything that's a trend. I always like,
we almost.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Look at ourselves as imperfect. We have to start looking at.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Ourselves as perfect because you know why when people compliment us,
obviously they're seeing us for what we don't see. I
need to start taking those compliments and actually like digesting
them properly.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
No, I agree.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I mean, listen, I'm the first to say I have
body dysmorphia.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Like I'm always saying I feel like I look fat
or whatever, and then it's like I've.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Lost weight, but I still feel like I look fat.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
No, you're not fat.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
You're absolutely not well, thank you. I think we all
I'll have a little bit of the dysmorphia.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Sad, I'm you sure do it is sad? You know
what it is.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
It's also due to social media and everything that's put
out there, and filters.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Filters don't help filters.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Make I think I go b after the kids coming
up now, because it's they don't know life any other way.
They only know perfection and coming up comparing themselves to
everyone else.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I mean, I'm a photo from right that we had
to print out at like CBS.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Remember that.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I remember that Jeva Genevie's the little date on the
bottom right, My god, or polaroid pictures shake when they
came out, so that you know they could dry and
you could look them. We never We couldn't even zoom
into those pictures now people ever.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Do you ever actually try to zoom in on paper print?
Every once in a while, I you know, somebody's showing
me something on paper, and I like try to zoom
in to make it bigger.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I don't do.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
It's like a habit. I get it.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
I saw that, I've done it, But it's almost like
a habit, like you see something you want to zoom in.
There have been times where I've showed people a picture
and they try to do it. I'm like, what are
you doing? Like, oh, this isn't a digital photo. I'm like,
it's just a picture. Like you can't zoom with your fingers.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Oh my gosh, I can't.
Speaker 1 (25:07):

a different context.

ball this year, and it's a brand new one.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Like they got rid of the old ball, the old bowl.
They gave away those crystals.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
You where would it be? Like where what do they
do with it?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
They probably turned them into ornaments. I bet that would
be really cool because they're a little like triangles.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Anyways, you can make them into and then.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Example that used to be on the ball in times square.

many crystals are on the balls.

two hundred and eighty water food crystals. Wow, it switched
