Amy and Kat are feeling wow'd, worried, and relieved. Amy’s Aura Ring is flagging mild stress and Kat has a new scary TV show rec: Widows Bay. Amy wants to know: What are you loving right now? Email or call…we want to know what you’re loving!! Her current obsession is green peas, so the bar is low. Surprisingly, peas have impressive health benefits. Kat shares that she’s loving frozen mango cubes. Pro Tip: Let them sit out of the freezer for about 5 minutes and then eat. A caller from Spicewood, Texas checks in with her home defense strategy…which includes a .38 caliber, bear spray, and as a child, a stick she called a weenie stick for reasons that are exactly what you think. Naturally, now we all need a weenie stick by our beds at night. They also get into signs you’re spiraling, the origin story of the bendy straw, a voicemail about the Chick-fil-A protein hack and another voicemail that reminds us that childhood trauma is more universal than we think.

This is feeling things.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
With Amy and Kat.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Happy Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Welcome to feeling things. I'm Amy and I'm Cat and
I'm feeling woud and worried.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Ooh some alliteration.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, And before we came on ERGEs, so I know
Cat and I were singing a song energy energy. We
need energy?
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Any are you just add.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I don't even know if I sell that correctly. No,
I was spelling it. Oh.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I was saying give Amy energy.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I thought we both needed it.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Do you feel good? I feel pretty good. I feel like, yeah,
I've been getting out of breath, but I have plenty
of energy right now. Okay, but if you want me
to be in that with you, I will.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well have a little afternoon pick me up my coffee.
But I brought this because part of the reason why
I'm wold.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Okay, did you.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Know that straws are just to go like this.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yes they are, Yes, they are, Yes, they are because
when you get to the bottom, it's easier to slurp
up what's left at the bottom. You know, if you
were on this end, you have to like maneuver it.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
No, I told you.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
I saw so many.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Posts about it.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I don't think that's right.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
No, it's right, It is right. I know. I know
it seems crazy, but you've been drink using your straws
all wrong.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
When isn't it easy to slurp up the bottom with
the other side too? No, what makes that better?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It it's already been. You don't have to maneuver your cup.
You just you're ready to go.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I saw this and it made sense to me, does
it not? Don't think, because I've always done my straw
the other way, But especially the kind from to go
restaurants that are bendy, you bend it, and.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Those definitely are not supposed to go upside down.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's what they said.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Even in a juice box, so like in a like
a not a son because those straws are straight, but
an apple juice box that has the bend when you're
drinking applejuice box. You were trying to slur off every
last thing. But when you put the bend in first.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
You can get the end.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You can get all the apple juice in the box.
Does this not make sense to you? Because I saw
it and.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I was like, right, I think, and this is what
I think. I think you can do that.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I think we should look up the original invention of
the strawl, because when I saw it, I was wold.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
But I thought the straw goes like that, so it
can come into your mouth like when you hold a
juice box. Did your mom used to flip up the
end of the juice box so it has little two
holders on the side.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Uh No, but I did see later in life that
that's what those are for.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So when you're holding it, it's so you just have
to like.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, but if you had the BINDI down you get anyway,
it doesn't matter. I was wowed by it. Maybe I'm wrong,
Maybe I'm this is stupid.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
But if it if it makes you feel good and
you enjoy it makes drinking that more fun.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well, I don't know. I just was wowed by it,
but maybe not. I'm also worried.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Okay, I'm worried.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
That I was wowed by that, maybe worried. Uh care,
I'll show you. Let me pull this up on my phone.
I took a screenshot of it. I woke up this
morning and my aura ring. I check my app and
it had this sort of red cloud situation orange almost
(03:44):
like like yeah, ominous, ominous? Is that what that fit feels? Ominous?
And it says symptom radar minor signs your biometric show
minor signs of something straining your body. Pay attention to
how you're feeling today, and give yourself time to rest
if needed. Okay, symptom radar. It's the first time I've
(04:07):
gotten Ah, it's it's probably because it's getting to know
my biometrics because I've now had my ring for a
few weeks now, and it takes a minute for it
to build up. Your body's normal heart rate and temperature
and something's off.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Well, and you were just complaining about your back hurting. Yeah,
I'm being stressed.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, so it's I think I know what it is.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yeah, that freaks me out there. Well, I when I
first saw you put that in the dock, my first
thought was like, is your or a ring good for you?
Because you know when you have that kind of stuff,
sometimes you can like become like obsessed with it and
work like worried. But I see where your worries come
as long as you don't feel well.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I just if if you think my body is reacting
to some things that are going on in my life
right now, fine, that's just information. I'm like, oh wow,
that tracks. But if I'm having other animals, I mean,
I don't know, is it telling me of something else.
We'll see when I wake up tomorrow. I'm not going
to add more stress by stressing about it. Even though
(05:10):
I just said I was feeling worried. I think I
know that I'm worried. I already know I'm worried. I'm
worried about something, and in a few days there will
be resolved to that and I won't need to be
worried anymore and it will be fine. But what's crazy
is I know I'm worried, and my ring picked up
on my worry.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yeah that is kind of I wouldn't say freaking me out,
but it's worried that how well? But I also that, yeah,
because you know, I went on a stint trying to
wear a ring like that. But I got the off
brand one right, and the battery kept dying and that
was stressing me out, and so I was like, this
(05:50):
isn't worth it.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I got a request for obviously, we do endorsements for
different things, and I got a request for I guess
an off brand ring, which I.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Wonder if it's the one that I use.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I don't know, but I just got it this morning.
And I replied back and I was like, I just
got an or ring like three weeks ago, and if
I start promoting this, it just will not be in
alignment because I've been been talking about dreaming from the
rooftops about my or ring. And I paid the full.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Oh, because you paid the membership and everything. Yeah, it's
like five bucks. Well I got this other ring because
I didn't have a membership. And then I'm like, the
membership was probably.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Worth it, because isn't that how you get the data?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Yeah, but the one I got, you got the data,
but you didn't have to pay for the membership. Oh,
but I think that just I had lower quality. Yeah. AnyWho,
I'm sorry that you're feeling worried. It's okay. We do
have some information about the Bendy straw.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Oh shall I should I not want to look. Oh no.
The bendy straw was invented in nineteen thirty seven by
Joseph Friedman. Shout out. He patented the first flexible straw,
which taking of patents. Did you know I'm working on
a patent?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Yeah, but you haven't told me what it's for.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
It's top secret. Uh, using dental floss and a screw
to create an accordion like joint. After watching his daughter
struggle to reach her milkshake. Oh so it was invented
for that. Well, I got got, I got got.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You did get got. But I thought it was really adorable.
How excited you worry about that? And if it works,
let it work for you.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I really thought that it was to get it out
of the bottom.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
You were like every human on earth has been using
their straw.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I know.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
I was like, well, this is about the the bendy straw, right,
what about the metal straw with What about the metal
straw with a bind?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
I think that is a reusable bendy straw.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The we haven't talked about the metal straw with the
bin google that see what comes.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I will make this work for me.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
What are your what's your feelings? Day.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Okay, I'm feeling quite relieved because I've been talking about
this for probably a month now, and I'm even sick
of talking about it. The baby stroller. Oh yeah, Patrick,
my husband, you know, he doesn't he's the most easy
(08:21):
going guy in the world, doesn't get annoyed. He was
annoyed with me.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
So we opened We bought a stroller like two weeks ago,
and I still couldn't stop researching and overthinking and well
do I need this and blah blah blah blah. We
opened the.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Box last night and we can't return it because you
opened it.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Once you open it, this is actually really interesting and
I thought I really liked this because I was like,
why can't we open it and look at it and
you know, roll it around the house and then decide
if we want it. But they don't. You can't return
as stroller because you've touched it and contaminated it, so
they don't want to package that back up and sell
it to another family because of the germs. Yeah. I
(09:02):
thought that was cool.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Okay, but there's just so many items people home.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That's fair. There's other baby items that you can do
that with, But that's what I was told maybe it's
something the same as.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
The Bendi stroll, right it down, But yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
You can't return the stroller. And Patrick was like, well,
we could just like tape the box back really good,
but it's one of those boxes where at like the
there's like perforated cardboard run and taped, so you couldn't.
But we opened it. I really liked it, and he
made the deal that if I hate it, he'll buy
me anyone. So I think we're in a win one.
(09:36):
But mark my words, I will never talk about a
stroller again on here, or I probably didn't talk about
it to you much.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
What I was with you in downtown Breaklin on Saturday,
and every time you saw a stroller you were like,
there's check out that stroller. What kindness, there's that same stroller.
We saw like three different ones, and I said, if
we see a fourth one, then that's the that's a
sign that that's the brand you need. And it was
the brand you had, Yeah it was, and we still
the fourth one I did like right after I said that,
so it's obviously a popular one.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yeah. So yeah, you got a little taste of that.
Imagine being with me for a whole day. It would
not be fun.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
If you decid you don't like it, you could sell
it on Facebook marketplace.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
That's going to be my plan, is.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I imagine the germs.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Okay. When I heard that, it made sense, just like
the Vendy Straws. So now that I'm talking about it,
I'm like, maybe this is just a scam. So you
can't return a stroller?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, or like a crib, but could you not return
a crib? I have no idea. I don't know. I've
never bought baby things.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I have a car and well I don't think so
because well, not the car seat work. Maybe that's what
it is.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
More safety, not germs, but whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
The lady at the store, but he is safety. Well,
germs are part of safety.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It's okay, It's okay, Bendy Straws, germs, Okay, that's fine.
We see things, we think things, we believe things.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I also have a warning for people. You're looking at
me scared.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's the warning.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Well, so we started a new show called Widow's Bay
or Widows. I think it's Widow's Bay. I wanted to
say Widow's Peak, but that's the hairline. It's the same
guy from the Beast in Me you liked that show.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh, yes, yes, yes it claredans.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yes, yes, yes, that creepy guy he's in this show too,
And so we started this show. It's coming out week
by weeks. You can't binge it, which is like kind
of a bummer. Also, I kind of like it because
you have something to look forward to. The first episode.
I'm not giving anything away. Don't worry. The first episode
is not scary. It's almost like you don't know if
(11:42):
it's going to be a little like cheesy or scary.
As it keeps going, can confirm it is terrifying. So
if anybody does not like scary movies or scary shows,
or doesn't like watching these things by themselves, watch with caution. However,
it is.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Good, okay, says something to look forward to.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well, yeah, yeah, if you like yes, but if you
like it, but just know that it is. I've had
nightmares and I had to close my eyes a lot.
Wouldn't watch it alone.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Okay, so watch with caution or with someone.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, can you watch a scary movie.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's not my favorite. Okay, it's not my favorite. Okay,
but it just depends on the overall.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
You could do like a thriller, you could do beasts
to any boy yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, yeah, which I is a little scary. I guess
you don't having to find scary. Yeah yeah, I have
a question that that doesn't come up. Okay, I'm just
curious if there's anything you're loving right now, and I
can go first if you want to think about it,
because I have something that I am loving right now
that's just really random.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I think you want to go first. I want to
hear this.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Well, I don't have to go first to go first.
Green Peace. If you were to say a what are
you loving right now? I would say green Peace? Frozen
green Peace.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Is this because Courtney Cook?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
No?
Speaker 4 (12:59):
What she did? I saw her cook dinner and she
made green peas.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
No, this isn't because of Courtney Cook. I saw a
thing just like I saw a video projecting future telling
like they don't know for sure, but they're like green
peas are the next cottage cheese. Why because they are
(13:26):
higher in protein than any other vegetable. They're also high
in fiber, and they're very filling and they fill out
a meal. Well, here's the thing. I have a fifteen
year old son and he loves things that are green.
He loves let us. He loves avocado, he loves green anything, broccoli,
He'll eat anything green. He'll go and open up the
lettuce box in the refrigerator and just eat let us
(13:48):
out like a rabbit. I know it's interesting for sure,
especially for a teenager. And he likes the peas. So
I've been using peas as a filler. That's how I
got onto it. And did I see that video projecting
that they're the.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
New green pea pancakes and green pea.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Probably not, so it's not exactly the new, but whatever
marketing team Cottage Cheese has, they're like, if green peas
could get that marketing, they would be up there, because
what are you.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Putting them in? I don't like a pea.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I love a piece.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I'll eat a pee in a pot pie because it's
just like in there. But I'm not a spoonful of pie.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
No, No, I'm adding them to things. So I'm adding
them to ground beef with rice, add the peas, a
chicken curry, chicken with rice, add peas. So I am
stretching out meals with the peas, and it's helping because
(14:51):
my son is eating so much that if I add
a bag of frozen peas to the pound of ground
meat and then thing full of rice. I've stretched the
meal out and it's high. It's it's got protein, it
has fibers, so it has other It's not just this filler.
The filler like it actually is doing something.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
I think.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Also, they contain polyphenols which provide protective health benefits, rich
and antioxidants. Who knew green peas just need new marketing.
If green peas had better marketing, these.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Are they That's like the one food that children hate,
Like I feel like peas that have but hated vegetable.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It's such a nice little surprise, Like when you buy it.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
You can't taste it what I think the.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Taste it's like a sweet little.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
But pea is what I was gonna call it.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
But that's because it is. It's a pee.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
That made me think of when you were talking about
you have a teenager and he like.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Eats a lot a lot.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I saw this thing. It's like quick little meme on
Instagram that said, imagine what would be different with girls
growing up if we looked at them and said they're
just a growing girl, just like we look at boys
and say he's just a growing boy eats a lot.
But it's like, imagine how we'd feel like better, like
feeding ourselves and eating the peas if we wanted to
(16:29):
eat the peas. So just food for thought of how we,
you know, talk about the differences between girls and boys.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I they're both growing, we're both we're both growing. But
with girls it's more like, are you sure you're gonna
eat more of them?
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Yeah? And they're going through puberty too. It's more like, oh,
she's going through puberty. You know, she.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Won't stop eating. Shannon found some fun and vibrant recipes
with green peas. Okay, creamy pea pasto, fresh spring pasta
with barada, pea hummus with mint.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
No puts savory pea pancakes. No, we're not. We are not.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
No, they're savory, they're safery. I feel like that. I
feel like that could be an appetizer at a restaurant or.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Like the the like a delicacy, but not a delicacy.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It could be a pancake, like not that you just
eat by itself, but sort of like a tortilla that
you put food on top of, Like you could put
meat on top of your savory pea pancake Like that sounds,
but we're not doing elevated.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Pea pancake instead of just eating pancakes.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Says savory. Yeah, but I do love a salty sweet,
so a savory pea pancake with some maple syrup on
top might be nice. All of these recipes use frozen
peas to add instant sweetness and bright color to meals.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I think you should get on the pea pr team
pea marketing. Yeah, they should.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
High a green pea growers. Oh that's what I'm loving
right now? What are you loving right now?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Okay, I'm gonna do two things because when you first
asked me, for some reason, I couldn't get my brain
off of a food, and I actually have been eating
something that I used to eat all the time. Do
you ever just snack on a frozen mango?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Are you open to it?
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Seems a little like my sensitive teeth. I don't know that.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Well, if you get frozen, you can act Trader drugs.
You can buy a bag of frozen mango. Mangoes are
expensive and they're hard to cut.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
So that's frozen mangos where it's at.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
They're already chopped up in little cubes. So you take
the frozen mango, you put it in serving of it
or however much you want in a little bowl. You
wait like five ten minutes, let it thaw a little bit,
and then you eat it. And it's almost like a
popsicle or like mini like sorbet bites.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Oh okay, I could get down with that.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Oh good. And I've been craving a lot of fruit lately.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Throws some green peas in there, some frozen green peas
in mega.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I'm just kidding, okay. And then the other thing I've
been loving this kind of matches with your or ring.
I don't know if you've noticed that I've been wearing
a watch the last two weeks.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I have.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Why haven't you asked me about my new watch?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You're right, I almost said something about it on Saturday
when we were in Franklis.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I've never worn a watch before.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I got distracted by I don't know what, probably a stroller.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I know why you got distracted by a caramel apple
because you have never eaten a caramel apple before.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
No, I mean not that I can't remember. I've never
bought one or ordered one, like as an adult. I
don't know if I tried one as a kid. It's
just never been my thing.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
I don't think it's my thing, but it's like an
American thing. No, I'm a shock that you had never
eaten a caramel apple before. Anyway, I've been wearing my
watch every day, so yeah, you saw it on Saturday.
You probably saw it last week. And it counts my steps.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Oh okay, are you sure that that's.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
It's probably not accurate?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Is that healthy for you?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Well, I have been my job. I sit down all
the time. And I also don't like, you know, how
your phone tracks your steps don't carry my own, and
so you're.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Missing out on valuable steps when you get up to
go to the bathroom or something.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Well, I more so was like at the end of
the day, I'd look and I'm like, I have five
hundred steps, and I'm like, well, that's not healthy because
I'm sitting for five hours. I can't walk when I'm working,
And so I wanted to know, like accurately, like how
much am I really walking and moving? Because when I
get home from work, I've also been you know, pregnancy.
(20:45):
I'll give myself a lot of grace for the first
Why are you laughing?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I just well, I was curious that you want to know.
I'm laughing, okay, and here's my brain. While you're talking,
I'm like, oh, I wonder what is the brand? Ooh
should you put that in the next newsletter? As like
the item that you're obsessed with at the moment. And
I was like picturing you having your cute little watch,
like tap here if you want to get one, and
then over it's like what is under my picture? And
it's green Bees. So then I was like, okay, you
(21:13):
want me to link piece, I probably think I probably
need to find something else that I would link, But
what brand is it? Because it's I've never seen it.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
So I found this from a friend who saw an
influencer post about it. My friend was like, she swears
by this watch, and I'm like, she probably doesn't wear
that watch because if she posts an aura ring less
people are gonna buy that than if she posts this
twenty seven dollar watch.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
So I was skeptic if it's only twenty seven dollars.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Twenty seven dollars, it's like nice looking, it's.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Time, You're time.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
You're timer, timere Timere. It was twenty seven dollars, So
I was like, if it's if it doesn't work whatever.
I've loved having like the time on my hand though,
and like it has the day of the week and
in the date and it has I can send an alarm.
It's like I've never had a watch before.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I'm like, how how old do we sound? I'm like, yes,
episodes Green Peas and have you ever worn a watch?
Speaker 5 (22:22):
You ask what?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I'm loving this?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But it is really cute. It is like it's like
a gold It's different and it's not when you see
every day and for twenty seven dollars.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Well, and like I used to have. I did have
a watch at one point. I had an Apple watch
back in the day, and I had like a garment
by USA as when I would run to like track
my distance and like my pace and stuff. But I
don't want to know all of that, Like I just
want to know, like, am I like getting around? I
want to be like seven to eight thousand steps a day.
I'm fine with I was getting like five hundred.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You know. Obviously the standard that you've heard forever is
like ten thousand, blah blah blah. But that's not totally necessary.
Although it's a good goal to have. I think if
you're able, but I wouldn't. I used to beat myself
up about it if I didn't make it to ten,
But now I at least try to make it to
four thousand because I saw, like for our mental health,
four thousand is the goal for your brain. So I'm like, okay,
(23:13):
I'd rather approach this for brain health than well. Right,
and then as long as I'm between four and ten,
I feel good about it.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Well.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
And like the other day, like I said, I was
like that first roemester, I was on the couch all
day long. I'm allowed to do that. But then I
got in this habit of like getting home from work
and just sitting on the couch and it's so nice out.
And when I looked at my watch and I was like,
you've had sixteen hundred steps and it's three o'clock in
the afternoon, it was so motivating to get me to
(23:42):
go outside, right, you know, not even because I'm like
I have to burn these calories. It was like I
probably need some fresh air. Like it's really nice and
that's fashionable.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So yeah, so shout out to the love influencer that
your friends call.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, And it made me think of how you were
like six months. We talked about this, like, do influencers
really use the stuff that they sell? I did think
about that when she told me, but then honestly, I'm like, well,
if it's a good rec I don't really care if
she really uses it. Yeah, she probably has a nicer watch.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
But if that's when you can throw on or you
really like it, then and.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I break it. If something happens to it, you're not
worried about, I'll lose it eventually, Like yeah, money a thing,
twenty seven dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
So people really resonated with your glasses story from last week.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Like which made me feel so seen.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
It was bumping on social media like tons of shoes. Sorry,
I eat green peas now I bumpin'. I mean poppin'.
It was popping off. It was popping off. That's that's
what the kids say. No, it was popping off. It
got shared like what like a thousand times or something
(24:55):
or almost.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
That's my check. It was around eight hundred, but like,
let's shoot for a thousand.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Okay, let's see where it is now. Okay, we'll look
it up because it's been a couple of days since I.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Popped off too.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Well.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, but when something gets shared. Yes, mine might have
more views of my parents doing it, but I don't
know that if people. I think people were just like, oh,
that's crazy, like so many people. I mean, there were
people in the comments they're like, oh my gosh, that
happened to me too. A Scarred for Life, which we
have a voicemail coming up, will play well probably. I
think towards the end of the show, we have a
(25:27):
funny voicemail that we got from a listener regarding that.
But I think with yours, people were resonating like I
had that this is me anxiety as a kid, or
I would sleep with my glasses and okay, let's see.
Let's go to the shares. Is it poppin'? Is it
a nine hundred and seventeen?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Oh my goodness, yeah, okay, so it's still going h huh.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, who knew social media. It's weird how it works
because you would think like that many shares anyway, these videos,
I don't know what makes something in viral. You never know.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
I think sometimes it's random.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
It's totally random. We know that for us. If we
talk about giving cussing, giving people permission to cuss for
their mental health.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
That worked really well well and because remember not remember,
but you posted that same video to TikTok and I
looked and it had like a thousand views.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Well, Instagram loved it.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Yes, Well, it's just weird how that works, Like one
can pop off in the other.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
It's two different worlds. Kane Brown was talking about how
he's got Instagram or meta like meta things like Facebook
and Instagram down. He's got those on lock. He said,
as an artist, he cannot pop off on TikTok, which
you would think, and he's famous, Yeah, he is. I
interviewed him. I heard Country Festival. That's one of the
things he said that his team just had this whole
(26:51):
meeting about how he can't freaking figure out TikTok. And
it's not for lack of try, Like he's like out
there trying to figure it out, and he's just like,
I don't know. He's like, I feel like, if you're
all already established, TikTok is great for new people getting exposure.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Okay, well we're not established yet.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
But for him, like as an artist, like he's got
so many popular things going on, he would think it
would happen for him. But it was interesting to hear
someone with a lot of success talk about how they're
struggling with certain.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Well, thanks, that makes us feel better.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Oh well, so we did. We got an email that
I wanted to share. Okay, and shout out to Angie
who listens from Georgia and she's sixty one. All right, Angie, Hey,
Amy and Kat. I've been listening to y'all since before,
feeling things and just love your conversations and friendship. Now
that I'm thinking she's sixty one, she probably loves our
watch and pee talk, right democratic Angie shout out green
(27:49):
Peace after listening this week, I just wanted to let
Kat know that she wasn't the only one who was
so fearful as a child. I was always worried I
was going to get kidnapped too. I had a lot
of irrational and I'm so glad I finally outgrew them.
Congratulations on your pregnancy, Have the day you need to.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Have, Thanks Angie. I was reading a lot of those comments,
and honestly, I felt like, because that nobody's ever I've
told that story to a million people, nobody's ever been
like me too. They're just kind of how you were, Like, Oh,
I feel so bad for you. A lot of the
people were saying like what they did, and Elizabeth Fazio
(28:27):
wrote on there that she would do that because she
was afraid of a zombie apocalypse. And so now I'm like,
I have to rethink my outgrowing this fear. I should
be wearing my glass. What do I do if something
happens I wear contacts. You don't wear contacts. No, what
(28:48):
happens if there's like I don't know, let's okay, zombie
apocalypse probably is not gonna happen. But the world, I mean,
some crazy stuff could happen and we could be like
what happened in bird Box that movie.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Well they couldn't see anyways, so it'd be fine they couldn't.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Okay, you're right. I was just thinking like if we
get like stranded somewhere or something like that, Like you
could only wear contacts for so long you can't sleep
in them, Like my eyes get I have to take
my contacts out.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
We'll just have a go bag, like you need.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Like a go bag gra glasses.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
With glasses other necessities. Yeah, that's what they call it
in the military if they have to deploy quickly somewhere,
like when I was married to Ben, and he was
in the Air Force with his particular line where he
had a go bag ready at all times.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
What do people this is? You might not know the answer,
but you might because of that. If you're in the
military and you wear glasses or contacts, do you carry
can you wear glasses?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I don't know. Ben couldn't have any vision problems as
a pilot.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
In fact, wait, you have to have No, you can't
wear contacts and be in the army.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Well, Ben, he was maybe different.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I don't no, his stuff was different. I just know
he was always like trying to He's always nervous anytime
he had to go to the eye doctor he had
to do physicals.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
And he doesn't wear contact sir, I guess you could
get lazy.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
He does now he has like reading glasses, but they're
not it's only if he's on the computer. Okay, But
I don't know if to fly an airplane he needs
the glasses because he can.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Well, that makes sense that you wouldn't be able to
wear contacts and be in like special forces or something
like that. Oh, I've never thought that.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I'm not Okay, Okay, Shannon said, yes, you can wear
contact lenses in the Army, but not during basic combat
training or field deployment environments. While allowed on normal duty,
they must be clear. Oh so you can't. You can't
wear colored contacts. You can't wear out.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
I had purple contacts in high school. Yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
What about she? And when you look up for pilots,
because now I'm curious, like Air Force pilots if they can.
I just remember being always being like I'm nervous to
go to his and then he would end up doing fine,
but he would be nervous anytime because he had to
do these eye drops. Well, I'm probably saying too much now,
I don't want to get him. He's out now. But
his best friend was a doctor and he got these
(31:12):
eye drops, but he never wanted to be on his record.
Did he use the eye drops? So his friend would
just be like, here's some samples.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I guess you could get Lasik eye surgery. Honestly, the
government should pay for that. He says.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
To wear contacts while flying, you must be enrolled in
the Air Force's contact lens program, so I guess you can.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Ben did not just think avoided it at all, cause
like he didn't want to ever have. How Ben liked
to be at his job was under the radar. He
wanted no asterisk next to his name.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
I didn't want to be special.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
He didn't want to be specially want to be noticed.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
He didn't want awards he did and he did win.
He wouldn't want He didn't want that.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
He actually excelled like he was always top of his unit,
like people highly revered him. Is that a does that
sound military?
Speaker 5 (32:08):
You know?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
With our daughter, he has a medal that he got
from one of the wars, not a purple heart because
he's never been shot at or in combat or anything.
But he has a bronze star maybe or something, and
you can put that on your license plate. Now, he
would never for himself. He doesn't want that kind of attention.
(32:29):
But when our daughter started driving, he put it on
her car. What does she get, Well, she's black and
his thinking. When we went through adoption training, they said,
as white people, you aren't going to understand what your
child may go through of a different race when they're
pulled over. And this isn't anything again, I mean, it's
(32:49):
just there's stories out there, so you can't be too careful.
It's not like we're I know, I law enforcement that
respects all races. I'm not on pointing anything. I guess
I just feel weird saying it because I don't want
anybody to think I'm calling him out. But obviously we
know of circumstances in which people have been treated unfairly,
and so we thought for her, it's just like an
(33:11):
extra protection that we won't ever understand. But they may
see oh air force, oh a medal? Oh tell me,
and she could say, oh, my dad served in the
air force, and it's more of a conversation starter of
like oh fellow first responder type or you know, police
military firefighter. That was like our one thing we could
(33:34):
do for her that we won't never understand as white people.
Who's the guy that was in the Family movie with
the Family Show?
Speaker 4 (33:54):
You say it?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yes, Sterling K.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Brown.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I only know this loosely.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
I couldn't remember I talked to you about this, but.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Now you think Bobby talk to me about so I
never heard it from you.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
So he was on Armchair Expert before Paradise came out
the second season. He also was in what is That?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
The Mandy Moore one?
Speaker 4 (34:13):
What is it? This is Us? Thanks Kat, This was
a really interesting perspective. So Dax Shepherd, the host of Armchair,
they do not post their kids on social media, and
I think if they do that, they like put a
thing over their face or something. And they were talking
about how they raised Dax and Sterling K. Brown. We're
(34:34):
talking about how I feel like I can't call Sterling K.
Brown by his first name, but I can call Dax
by his first name. I even know. Yeah, I didn't
feel the need to say Dax Shepard, but I felt
the need to say Sterling. I'm not on that level
with him yet. So he was talking to him about
like how they protect their children or how they raise
their children being so famous, and Dax was like, well,
(34:58):
we hide. We don't like want them to be on
the internet, and then we want them to be able
to go out and be normal people and all that.
And then Sterling K. Brown was like, Oh, that's so
interesting because we do the exact opposite, because we want
people to know who they are to protect them because
Sterling K. Brown is black, Dax Shepherd is white. And
it was it was actually a really cool conversation for
(35:19):
them to talk about that and to be able to
see the other's perspective and for Dax to be like,
because I think a lot of people this is a
judgment of a judgment. But I think a lot of
people see people that put their kids on the internet
and are like, you shouldn't do that. But Sterling K.
Brown is like, no, we want people to know who
our kids are so they have more not visibility, so
(35:42):
they get things, but so they're protected and they don't
get misjudged or hurt or whatever, wrongly accused of something.
And I just thought that was I mean, it was
eye opening for me. I've never had to think about that.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, And that's what we learned in the adopted training,
adoption training. If you're going to have a adopt a
different race, like you're not gonna yeah, under understand what
they may go through. And we were like, oh, well,
can't hurt. Yeah. So Ben decided to put that on
her license late.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
And I do recommend have you listened to that episode yet? Okay,
even if you don't listen to Armchair Expert, I would
listen to that episode because it was very They talk
about all kinds of stuff. His life is so interesting,
like so interesting, and he is the most like energetic
human who is I've ever heard tell a traumatic story
(36:39):
Like he has a heart, some hard things in his life,
but his attitude is like you just want to bottle
it up.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Oh okay, I'll go check it out. And then when
you were telling the story again, I know I heard
Bobby and Caitlin told me about it, But then when
you were telling it just now, I was like, did
we talk about it? I don't know, Like did we talk?
Then I was like, did we talk about it on
the podcast? No, I don't know if we did. Sorry,
we can't remember.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
We can't remember. Maybe you don't remember it in your life.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Oh wow, yeah, no big deal. Something that we did
talk about. Last week we shared the email of relating
to your fear of being kidnapped, and now we have
a voicemail that is talking about keeping a gun under
your bed.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
This is from a.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Listener whose dad has pat her around guns her whole life,
so it's very different. I think if you're more comfortable
being around guns, and here's what she had to say.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
Okay, ladies, I'm listening to your show from Spicewood, Texas,
and I am feeling protective because I totally agree with
the serial killer. My dad has had me around guns
my whole life. I've done female defense courses at our
police train and all kinds of stuff, so I feel
very comfortable and I think that that is a very
big part about having guns. But I too have a
(37:57):
thirty eight special get caliber, as you're saying, by my
bed and it is my dad built something. It's a
piece of metal and the whole story is welly to it,
so it fits in between your box springs and mattress.
So it's there, ready to go. And I heard you
mentioned safety. There's no safety on that gun, and that's
why it's a great home defense gun because when you
(38:19):
wake up, whatever the case may be, you just pull
the trigger. So I highly recommend that. I understand the
kids in the house having one of those fingerprint boxes,
but I would have it ready to go right on
my bedside table. I also carry bear spray. Bear spray
shoots a lot farther than mace.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Just a suggestion.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Okay, So that's good to know about the bear spray. Yeah,
I know, because I think I'm more likely to have
bear spray than a thirty eight.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Well what's a fingerprint box?
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Well, you it's locks. It and you you your finger
filt that way. It's safe for kids. Like a gun
box that's locked, okay, but it can only unlock with
your finger your prints.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Yeah, I don't think I'll keep the bear spray under
my bed for sure.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Yeah, that's why I'm more likely to have the bear spray.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Yeah. Also because I mean, I think I said this
last week. Last week, Patrick sometimes does weird sleep things.
So I can see him. You don't want an unlocked
gun near him if he's sleepwalking or something. No, we
would ne up on him.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Maybe even bear spray. I'm nervous about that now for
you too.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
That's sweet new safety on the bear spray.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Could did he use that as a defense, like if
something were to happen? Does do people get off if
they have sleepwalking in their.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
I'm sure that. Well, if he like murdered me in
my sleep, yeah, but it was an accident, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
I wonder because we know he has episodes like for sure,
not like that. But he's sleep walks.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
He's never well, he's only since I've been with him,
he's only gotten out of the bed twice. But he does,
he'll talk and sometimes he does interesting movements. Right, Okay,
that's interesting. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
I don't know either. That was from Lindsay, by the way,
and she called back and left another message because she
had more to say. And boy am I glad she
called back because this is a really good tip.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
Okay, I forgot this part two cats sleeping in her
glasses when I was a little kid. This is Linda,
the from spice Wood that just called. I forgot to
put this part on this. I used to sleep when
I was a kid with a big stick, and I
called it a weenie stick. So if anybody broke in,
I'd hit them in a WEENI hope that serial killers
are having the day they need to have by.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
So I could do a weenie stick embarrass ray, Yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
I wonder if it was like it's actual stick outside,
or she have like a baton or something like.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Oh, I was picturing like a metal rod, I mean
baseball bat good good point. That's interesting. You were maybe
picturing a stick outside. I was picturing like one of
those sticks the police used, like a baton stick, the
baton thing called a nightstick. Oh, I don't know sure
it's I think it's called a baton too. Okay, but
not like a baton. You would turl. Did you ever
(41:08):
work with a baton as a child.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
Well, we did because my mom was a major atte
in high school. She could troll fire.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Wow. Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
Yeah. She still has like her like outfits and she
still has her batons from when she was in high school.
We played with them when we were kids. But I
could be like, Mom, I need your baton to put
under my.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Bed, to be your wienie stick.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
It's made out of metal. It would hurt.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
We got another voicemail about our Chick fil A protein
bar discussion. This is from Tony. Hi.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
This is Tony and I am in Elebanon and I'm
forty two years old, and I just wanted to let
y'all know that at Chick fil A you can order
just the chicken file a. It's in the app and
it's four and seventy cents if you order the fried.
(42:02):
Just thought y'all might fine. I'm interesting, Thank you, and
have the day you need.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
To have so you know, you don't even have to
get the bun.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
You don't have to have food waste.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
I wasted the bun the other day. I went after
we talked about it. Yeah, I was craving it. So
I went and I tried it, and I just ate
the fried filet and it was like it was okay.
Then I went back a couple days later and I
was with the kids and I got nuggets, and I
was like, this is where it's at. If I'm just
gonna eat fried protein meat, I might as well eat
(42:32):
the nuggets. Like to me, it was better. It was
eating the filet felt weird.
Speaker 4 (42:36):
What is the science hack behind doing the file at
versus why weren't people just like go get chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
I think there were. It was just more of like
if you're going to get a protein bar, like get
the filet because it's like more like just take a
bite out of this instead of a protein bar. And honestly,
there might be more protein in the filet than nuggets
unless you get a twelve count. Maybe I don't know
who any nuggets you have to get to equal the
chicken fil a, But I just thought it was And
(43:07):
when I got the nuggets, I was like, Okay, this
is where it's at. Because the fil a I wanted,
like the bread.
Speaker 4 (43:12):
And the pickles. I know you don't like it. I
don't like pickles. That's fine, and you ate it. Play
no ketchup?
Speaker 1 (43:17):
No, I dipped it and stuff. I dipped it. I
dipped my protein bar in stuff. Sheandon said that the
standard fried Chicken fil A has around twenty three grams,
while a twelve count nugget coun take a forties, so
you're already getting more protein if you get the twelve count.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
No, go for the twelve count, guys, let's go.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
I did see that. If you're a nurse at Chick
fil A. Today's the final day though, Today's the final
day of nurses week. So I guess nurses week started
last week and it goes until today. When people are
listening to this, it's going to be Tuesday, the twelfth,
and that's the final day of nurses week, and the
final day you can get like a free Chick fil
A sandwich or chicken biscuit. Now that's where it's at,
the chicken biscuit from Chick fil A, but you have
(43:55):
to have it on the biscuit.
Speaker 4 (43:56):
Would never get the filet off of the biscuit. That's
too good and precious of carbs.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
So good with a little jelly. Do you eat it
with jelly?
Speaker 6 (44:06):
No?
Speaker 4 (44:06):
But get this, I eat it plain, Okay, I don't
like jelly? Is that my my husband eats his chicken
biscuit with ketchup on it?
Speaker 1 (44:16):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (44:18):
Is that how?
Speaker 1 (44:18):
I love ketchup? And I don't I love the idea
of that on a biscuit.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
Yeah, it feels like not correct. No, that's so I'd
rather have jelly than the ketchup.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Yeah. So if you are a nurse, I saw you
could go by. You just have to show a valid
ID that you're a nurse, like.
Speaker 4 (44:34):
Which you should.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
Here is my hospital identification card, so you can't go
be like no, I'm definitely not a nurse. But fun fact,
May twelfth is Nurse's Day because that's Florence Nightingale's birthday
and Florence Nightingale is the founder of modern nursing or
something like that. So shout out to any of our
(44:56):
listeners that are nurses. I feel like we probably have
a lot. My sister Kim, my half sister Kim, she's
a nurse. Go get your chick, Go get your free
chick for lay today.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
Girl, do you know what like Florence Nightingale, like what
time period she from? Like when you said that like,
what is modern nursing?
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Is she like from nineteen did she? Was she a
nurse in like nineteen thirty or nineteen forty, eighteen twenty
to nineteen ten? Oh, so modern nursingless. I was thinking,
it was like around, I don't know the Great Depression.
Speaker 4 (45:29):
Modern nurses before that.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Well, i'm modern nursing.
Speaker 4 (45:32):
What's a modern nurse?
Speaker 1 (45:34):
I don't know. So she died in nineteen ten, so
she wasn't even alive when the Titanic sank.
Speaker 4 (45:41):
She was ninety years old, though, Wow, good for nurse.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
I was way late on that. Yeah, well, happy birthday, Florence.
Speaker 4 (45:51):
Wait when did the Titanic sink?
Speaker 1 (45:52):
Nineteen twelve? You don't know how did you know that?
Speaker 4 (45:56):
I would have said nineteen twenty for some reason.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
You don't know that.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
Did you know that? I would have said nineteen twenty
for some reason.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
No, nineteen twelves, you just know that. And then the
movie Titanic came out in nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety seven.
Because I saw it Valentine's Day nineteen ninety eight and
had already been out a couple of months. We w
on a date I was and I remember my boyfriend
at the time, and I know when we dated, so
I know that's what we went to see.
Speaker 4 (46:36):
Cute.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Did you see Titanic in theaters or you were too little?
Speaker 4 (46:41):
This is the thing about that I remember. This is
what's weird. I remember being at my friend Katie's house
and us being like, We're going to go see Titanic
in theaters. But I would have been eight years old.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Well that's okay, I saw a pretty woman at nine.
Speaker 4 (46:58):
You said, nineteen ninety seven. Yeah, I was seven years old.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
There's no it was still in theaters in nineteen ninety eight,
because I'm saying I went in nineteen ninety eight. I
went Valentine's Day in nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
Well I would have been seven at that time. Okay,
but I can't imagine going. Why do I have the
memory that I did that? But there's no way I
did that. Do you have any of those Like I
have this distinct memory. Maybe I had a dream, Maybe
maybe I dreamt this happened, And now I'm confusing, like
this dream I had as an adult with like an
(47:28):
actual memory as a child.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
I do that with pictures from childhood. Is like like
I or videos that I've seen where I think we
were there, and then our brain when we remember something,
we remember the latest version of what we remember. Yeah,
and so then does our brain then start to think
that we were actually there and that's what it's registering.
Speaker 4 (47:51):
Yeah, this is so meta in my you know. So
I don't think I saw it in theaters, but I
might have had a that I did.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
I have subtle signs there, you're spiraling? Are you spiraling
right now?
Speaker 4 (48:07):
My brain? Just like you know when you're it's like
that meme of all the math equations. That's what just
happened to me when you were talking.
Speaker 1 (48:14):
Okay, Well, before we go into the subtle signs that
you might be spiraling, we can honor Florence Nightingale and
all the nurses out there.
Speaker 4 (48:22):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
She is considered the founder of modern nursing and a
pioneer in hospital sanitation. Thank you for that, Florence Nightingale,
evidence based care and statistical analysis and medicine. Her work
during the I don't even know this war?
Speaker 4 (48:38):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Crimine? Crime? Crimin war establish the fundamental principles of infection control.
In eighteen sixties, she founded the Nightingale Training School for
nurses at Saint Thomas' Hospital in London, elevating nurses from
a non educated domestic role to respectable train. That's scientific professions.
(49:00):
I made it officially. This is a profession, not just
a woman taking care of caring for you.
Speaker 4 (49:06):
I was gonna say, as you were reading this, like
doing all this in like eighteen sixty women didn't have
a lot of jobs, jobs or rights or like, say, so,
it's kind of crazy that she was able to do
all this, Like it's crazy that people were listening to
her even you know. So there needs to be a
movie on her. If there's not, maybe there is. Surely
(49:27):
there is, or at least there's a documentary. Sure there's
a lot. I want it to be a I don't
want a documentary on her. I want to watch like
a I want a true story, but it be a
movie movie.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
Yeah. I'm also thinking of all the nurses. I am
Mercy Ship's ambassador something. All the nurses aboard the Mercy Ships.
They're all volunteers. No way they show up, they get
to go aboard, and they're volunteering their time. They're not
paid staff. So shout out to nurses and sometimes when
(49:59):
I post about them, all get comments from people they're like, oh,
my gosh, my mom was a nurse on nurse ships,
or my mom not even a nurse, maybe they worked
in the cafeteria. And I'm always like, oh, small world,
because those ships are far away. They're not in our backyard. No, yeah,
they're like in Sierra Leone something. Yeah, so all nurses,
(50:19):
those that have even when I think of my parents
when they were in the hospital, like, the nurses had
some they had to do some tough stuff.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
And you spend more time with the nurses than you
were a doctor ever.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Yeah, and they really have to care for you on
such a deeper level. And then they have to go
home to their normal lives after seeing everything that they
see every day. So shout out subtle signs you're actually spiraling.
This is from Carrie Howard. She's a therapist for anxious overthinkers.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
I'm going to relate to everything you say, and it's
going to remind me of stroller gates.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
So okay, I'll just run through them real quick. Subtle
signs you should look out for that, my equal, you
are spiraling. You feel a sense of urgency to figure
it out right now. Your thoughts are circling, not solving.
You keep looking for reassurance, but it's not sticking. Your
body feels tense, restless, and on high alert. You're procrastinating,
(51:12):
zoning out, or avoiding something. You're thinking in absolutes like
always never worst case. You keep over analyzing and second
guessing yourself and you're trying to think your way out
instead of feeling. What's there? Just subtle signs, yeah, subtle science,
like I think you're good on the zombie apocalypse. Like
I don't think you need to wear glasses or worry about.
Speaker 4 (51:34):
I think I can be. I'll always have a pair
of glasses in reach. I can grab them. I don't
have to keep them on my face.
Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yeah, just your little go back, but you don't need
to worry about it.
Speaker 4 (51:42):
And I'll put the bear spray in the go back.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
I'm got the bear spray on my nightstand.
Speaker 4 (51:46):
Well, the go bag will be wherever I am.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
I saw a funny video Kat, Who's the funny girl
on Instagram? Kat Ziggler Cat? You know she was rumored
to be dating John Mayer for a little bit. She's
got on here. She's so funny. I don't know sickler.
Speaker 4 (52:03):
Oh oh oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Cat stickler, stickler. She's so funny.
Speaker 4 (52:09):
She's curly hair, no black. Oh okay, I heard you
say curly?
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Are you spirally? So she did a funny video of
she got her cute little purse and how she's like,
they say, keep mace in your purse in case you
get attacked, And then she starts digging through her bag
and she pulls out like her sunglasses and like gum
and then like lipstick, and then she's like hold one second,
like she's talking to the attacker because she's digging in
her bag for the mace.
Speaker 4 (52:34):
And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's such a good point,
Like well we even be able to find it, yes.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
Like we're gonna have the bear spray in our bag,
but yeah, I think bear spray would be easier to
find because it's like a bigger sure can I can't?
All right, let's close with a funny voice smell that
we got about walking in on your parents, just to
put a bow on this week's episode and tie it
back to last week's as well. We love here ring
(53:00):
how y'all relate stuff that we talk about. This is
from Elda from Huddo Texas.
Speaker 9 (53:05):
Here it is night there, My name is Elda, and
I'm calling from Huddo, Texas. I wanted just to call
because y'all had me cracking up when Amy was sharing
her little parents' extracurricular activities.
Speaker 5 (53:20):
Basically, I have that same vision in my head that
has been with me since I was ten. But the
funny part for me is that I walked up to
my parents' room and the door was closed, but the
door was not locked, walked in, saw the same thing,
same position, unfortunately, and was so shocked that I just
(53:43):
turned around and walked away. And I can still see
my brother coming towards me, going towards the door as well,
and I did not say a word to him. So
we shared that terrifying sight childhood trauma, and we joke
about it now. But anyway, it's just I wanted to
share because you are not alone, Amy. I just wanted
to let you know that you are not alone. Love
(54:06):
you guys, Love hearing y'all. Thank you for all the
inspiration and amazing that you both are. I appreciate you all.
Thank you. Have a great day.
Speaker 4 (54:14):
Bye bye, Thank you. Elda.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
Yeah, I mean she didn't even she even Warner brother.
Speaker 4 (54:20):
Was she shocked or was She like, if I had
to see it, you have to see it, Like if.
Speaker 1 (54:24):
I go down, you go down. We're having this memory together,
this nightmare. I mean I would maybe it would be
a little bit of both. I think at that age though,
she probably was just like I don't even know how
to tell you what you're about to witness, like.
Speaker 4 (54:37):
Right, but I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (54:39):
Right, so I'm just going to keep walking, Like that's
your problem now, Like I've what time of.
Speaker 4 (54:44):
Day was it that both the kids were going to
the parents.
Speaker 1 (54:46):
It can be mourning morning, I would imagine morning, yeah,
or night. I don't know.

figure out.

the inspiration or like green.

This is feeling things.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
With Amy and Kat.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Happy Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Welcome to feeling things. I'm Amy and I'm Cat and
I'm feeling woud and worried.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Ooh some alliteration.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, And before we came on ERGEs, so I know
Cat and I were singing a song energy energy. We
need energy?
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Any are you just add.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I don't even know if I sell that correctly. No,
I was spelling it. Oh.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
I was saying give Amy energy.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I thought we both needed it.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Do you feel good? I feel pretty good. I feel like, yeah,
I've been getting out of breath, but I have plenty
of energy right now. Okay, but if you want me
to be in that with you, I will.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Well have a little afternoon pick me up my coffee.
But I brought this because part of the reason why
I'm wold.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Okay, did you.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Know that straws are just to go like this.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
No, they're not.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yes they are, Yes, they are, Yes, they are because
when you get to the bottom, it's easier to slurp
up what's left at the bottom. You know, if you
were on this end, you have to like maneuver it.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
No, I told you.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
I saw so many.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Posts about it.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I don't think that's right.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
No, it's right, It is right. I know. I know
it seems crazy, but you've been drink using your straws
all wrong.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
When isn't it easy to slurp up the bottom with
the other side too? No, what makes that better?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
It it's already been. You don't have to maneuver your cup.
You just you're ready to go.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I saw this and it made sense to me, does
it not? Don't think, because I've always done my straw
the other way, But especially the kind from to go
restaurants that are bendy, you bend it, and.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Those definitely are not supposed to go upside down.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's what they said.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Even in a juice box, so like in a like
a not a son because those straws are straight, but
an apple juice box that has the bend when you're
drinking applejuice box. You were trying to slur off every
last thing. But when you put the bend in first.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
You can get the end.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
You can get all the apple juice in the box.
Does this not make sense to you? Because I saw
it and.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I was like, right, I think, and this is what
I think. I think you can do that.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I think we should look up the original invention of
the strawl, because when I saw it, I was wold.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
But I thought the straw goes like that, so it
can come into your mouth like when you hold a
juice box. Did your mom used to flip up the
end of the juice box so it has little two
holders on the side.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Uh No, but I did see later in life that
that's what those are for.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
So when you're holding it, it's so you just have
to like.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Yeah, but if you had the BINDI down you get anyway,
it doesn't matter. I was wowed by it. Maybe I'm wrong,
Maybe I'm this is stupid.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
But if it if it makes you feel good and
you enjoy it makes drinking that more fun.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Well, I don't know. I just was wowed by it,
but maybe not. I'm also worried.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Okay, I'm worried.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
That I was wowed by that, maybe worried. Uh care,
I'll show you. Let me pull this up on my phone.
I took a screenshot of it. I woke up this
morning and my aura ring. I check my app and
it had this sort of red cloud situation orange almost
(03:44):
like like yeah, ominous, ominous? Is that what that fit feels? Ominous?
And it says symptom radar minor signs your biometric show
minor signs of something straining your body. Pay attention to
how you're feeling today, and give yourself time to rest
if needed. Okay, symptom radar. It's the first time I've
(04:07):
gotten Ah, it's it's probably because it's getting to know
my biometrics because I've now had my ring for a
few weeks now, and it takes a minute for it
to build up. Your body's normal heart rate and temperature
and something's off.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Well, and you were just complaining about your back hurting. Yeah,
I'm being stressed.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, so it's I think I know what it is.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yeah, that freaks me out there. Well, I when I
first saw you put that in the dock, my first
thought was like, is your or a ring good for you?
Because you know when you have that kind of stuff,
sometimes you can like become like obsessed with it and
work like worried. But I see where your worries come
as long as you don't feel well.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I just if if you think my body is reacting
to some things that are going on in my life
right now, fine, that's just information. I'm like, oh wow,
that tracks. But if I'm having other animals, I mean,
I don't know, is it telling me of something else.
We'll see when I wake up tomorrow. I'm not going
to add more stress by stressing about it. Even though
(05:10):
I just said I was feeling worried. I think I
know that I'm worried. I already know I'm worried. I'm
worried about something, and in a few days there will
be resolved to that and I won't need to be
worried anymore and it will be fine. But what's crazy
is I know I'm worried, and my ring picked up
on my worry.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yeah that is kind of I wouldn't say freaking me out,
but it's worried that how well? But I also that, yeah,
because you know, I went on a stint trying to
wear a ring like that. But I got the off
brand one right, and the battery kept dying and that
was stressing me out, and so I was like, this
(05:50):
isn't worth it.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I got a request for obviously, we do endorsements for
different things, and I got a request for I guess
an off brand ring, which I.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Wonder if it's the one that I use.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I don't know, but I just got it this morning.
And I replied back and I was like, I just
got an or ring like three weeks ago, and if
I start promoting this, it just will not be in
alignment because I've been been talking about dreaming from the
rooftops about my or ring. And I paid the full.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Oh, because you paid the membership and everything. Yeah, it's
like five bucks. Well I got this other ring because
I didn't have a membership. And then I'm like, the
membership was probably.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Worth it, because isn't that how you get the data?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Yeah, but the one I got, you got the data,
but you didn't have to pay for the membership. Oh,
but I think that just I had lower quality. Yeah. AnyWho,
I'm sorry that you're feeling worried. It's okay. We do
have some information about the Bendy straw.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Oh shall I should I not want to look. Oh no.
The bendy straw was invented in nineteen thirty seven by
Joseph Friedman. Shout out. He patented the first flexible straw,
which taking of patents. Did you know I'm working on
a patent?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Yeah, but you haven't told me what it's for.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
It's top secret. Uh, using dental floss and a screw
to create an accordion like joint. After watching his daughter
struggle to reach her milkshake. Oh so it was invented
for that. Well, I got got, I got got.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You did get got. But I thought it was really adorable.
How excited you worry about that? And if it works,
let it work for you.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I really thought that it was to get it out
of the bottom.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
You were like every human on earth has been using
their straw.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I know.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
I was like, well, this is about the the bendy straw, right,
what about the metal straw with What about the metal
straw with a bind?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
I think that is a reusable bendy straw.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The we haven't talked about the metal straw with the
bin google that see what comes.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
I will make this work for me.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
What are your what's your feelings? Day.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Okay, I'm feeling quite relieved because I've been talking about
this for probably a month now, and I'm even sick
of talking about it. The baby stroller. Oh yeah, Patrick,
my husband, you know, he doesn't he's the most easy
(08:21):
going guy in the world, doesn't get annoyed. He was
annoyed with me.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
So we opened We bought a stroller like two weeks ago,
and I still couldn't stop researching and overthinking and well
do I need this and blah blah blah blah. We
opened the.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Box last night and we can't return it because you
opened it.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Once you open it, this is actually really interesting and
I thought I really liked this because I was like,
why can't we open it and look at it and
you know, roll it around the house and then decide
if we want it. But they don't. You can't return
as stroller because you've touched it and contaminated it, so
they don't want to package that back up and sell
it to another family because of the germs. Yeah. I
(09:02):
thought that was cool.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Okay, but there's just so many items people home.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That's fair. There's other baby items that you can do
that with, But that's what I was told maybe it's
something the same as.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
The Bendi stroll, right it down, But yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
You can't return the stroller. And Patrick was like, well,
we could just like tape the box back really good,
but it's one of those boxes where at like the
there's like perforated cardboard run and taped, so you couldn't.
But we opened it. I really liked it, and he
made the deal that if I hate it, he'll buy
me anyone. So I think we're in a win one.
(09:36):
But mark my words, I will never talk about a
stroller again on here, or I probably didn't talk about
it to you much.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
What I was with you in downtown Breaklin on Saturday,
and every time you saw a stroller you were like,
there's check out that stroller. What kindness, there's that same stroller.
We saw like three different ones, and I said, if
we see a fourth one, then that's the that's a
sign that that's the brand you need. And it was
the brand you had, Yeah it was, and we still
the fourth one I did like right after I said that,
so it's obviously a popular one.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yeah. So yeah, you got a little taste of that.
Imagine being with me for a whole day. It would
not be fun.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
If you decid you don't like it, you could sell
it on Facebook marketplace.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
That's going to be my plan, is.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I imagine the germs.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Okay. When I heard that, it made sense, just like
the Vendy Straws. So now that I'm talking about it,
I'm like, maybe this is just a scam. So you
can't return a stroller?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yeah, or like a crib, but could you not return
a crib? I have no idea. I don't know. I've
never bought baby things.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I have a car and well I don't think so
because well, not the car seat work. Maybe that's what
it is.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
More safety, not germs, but whatever.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
The lady at the store, but he is safety. Well,
germs are part of safety.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It's okay, It's okay, Bendy Straws, germs, Okay, that's fine.
We see things, we think things, we believe things.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
I also have a warning for people. You're looking at
me scared.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's the warning.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Well, so we started a new show called Widow's Bay
or Widows. I think it's Widow's Bay. I wanted to
say Widow's Peak, but that's the hairline. It's the same
guy from the Beast in Me you liked that show.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Oh, yes, yes, yes it claredans.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Yes, yes, yes, that creepy guy he's in this show too,
And so we started this show. It's coming out week
by weeks. You can't binge it, which is like kind
of a bummer. Also, I kind of like it because
you have something to look forward to. The first episode.
I'm not giving anything away. Don't worry. The first episode
is not scary. It's almost like you don't know if
(11:42):
it's going to be a little like cheesy or scary.
As it keeps going, can confirm it is terrifying. So
if anybody does not like scary movies or scary shows,
or doesn't like watching these things by themselves, watch with caution. However,
it is.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Good, okay, says something to look forward to.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Well, yeah, yeah, if you like yes, but if you
like it, but just know that it is. I've had
nightmares and I had to close my eyes a lot.
Wouldn't watch it alone.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Okay, so watch with caution or with someone.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah, can you watch a scary movie.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
It's not my favorite. Okay, it's not my favorite. Okay,
but it just depends on the overall.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
You could do like a thriller, you could do beasts
to any boy yourself.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, yeah, which I is a little scary. I guess
you don't having to find scary. Yeah yeah, I have
a question that that doesn't come up. Okay, I'm just
curious if there's anything you're loving right now, and I
can go first if you want to think about it,
because I have something that I am loving right now
that's just really random.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I think you want to go first. I want to
hear this.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Well, I don't have to go first to go first.
Green Peace. If you were to say a what are
you loving right now? I would say green Peace? Frozen
green Peace.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Is this because Courtney Cook?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
No?
Speaker 4 (12:59):
What she did? I saw her cook dinner and she
made green peas.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
No, this isn't because of Courtney Cook. I saw a
thing just like I saw a video projecting future telling
like they don't know for sure, but they're like green
peas are the next cottage cheese. Why because they are
(13:26):
higher in protein than any other vegetable. They're also high
in fiber, and they're very filling and they fill out
a meal. Well, here's the thing. I have a fifteen
year old son and he loves things that are green.
He loves let us. He loves avocado, he loves green anything, broccoli,
He'll eat anything green. He'll go and open up the
lettuce box in the refrigerator and just eat let us
(13:48):
out like a rabbit. I know it's interesting for sure,
especially for a teenager. And he likes the peas. So
I've been using peas as a filler. That's how I
got onto it. And did I see that video projecting
that they're the.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
New green pea pancakes and green pea.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Probably not, so it's not exactly the new, but whatever
marketing team Cottage Cheese has, they're like, if green peas
could get that marketing, they would be up there, because
what are you.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Putting them in? I don't like a pea.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I love a piece.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
I'll eat a pee in a pot pie because it's
just like in there. But I'm not a spoonful of pie.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
No, No, I'm adding them to things. So I'm adding
them to ground beef with rice, add the peas, a
chicken curry, chicken with rice, add peas. So I am
stretching out meals with the peas, and it's helping because
(14:51):
my son is eating so much that if I add
a bag of frozen peas to the pound of ground
meat and then thing full of rice. I've stretched the
meal out and it's high. It's it's got protein, it
has fibers, so it has other It's not just this filler.
The filler like it actually is doing something.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
I think.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Also, they contain polyphenols which provide protective health benefits, rich
and antioxidants. Who knew green peas just need new marketing.
If green peas had better marketing, these.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Are they That's like the one food that children hate,
Like I feel like peas that have but hated vegetable.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It's such a nice little surprise, Like when you buy it.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
You can't taste it what I think the.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Taste it's like a sweet little.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
But pea is what I was gonna call it.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
But that's because it is. It's a pee.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
That made me think of when you were talking about
you have a teenager and he like.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Eats a lot a lot.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I saw this thing. It's like quick little meme on
Instagram that said, imagine what would be different with girls
growing up if we looked at them and said they're
just a growing girl, just like we look at boys
and say he's just a growing boy eats a lot.
But it's like, imagine how we'd feel like better, like
feeding ourselves and eating the peas if we wanted to
(16:29):
eat the peas. So just food for thought of how we,
you know, talk about the differences between girls and boys.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I they're both growing, we're both we're both growing. But
with girls it's more like, are you sure you're gonna
eat more of them?
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Yeah? And they're going through puberty too. It's more like, oh,
she's going through puberty. You know, she.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Won't stop eating. Shannon found some fun and vibrant recipes
with green peas. Okay, creamy pea pasto, fresh spring pasta
with barada, pea hummus with mint.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
No puts savory pea pancakes. No, we're not. We are not.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
No, they're savory, they're safery. I feel like that. I
feel like that could be an appetizer at a restaurant or.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Like the the like a delicacy, but not a delicacy.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It could be a pancake, like not that you just
eat by itself, but sort of like a tortilla that
you put food on top of, Like you could put
meat on top of your savory pea pancake Like that sounds,
but we're not doing elevated.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Pea pancake instead of just eating pancakes.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Says savory. Yeah, but I do love a salty sweet,
so a savory pea pancake with some maple syrup on
top might be nice. All of these recipes use frozen
peas to add instant sweetness and bright color to meals.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I think you should get on the pea pr team
pea marketing. Yeah, they should.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
High a green pea growers. Oh that's what I'm loving
right now? What are you loving right now?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Okay, I'm gonna do two things because when you first
asked me, for some reason, I couldn't get my brain
off of a food, and I actually have been eating
something that I used to eat all the time. Do
you ever just snack on a frozen mango?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
No?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Are you open to it?
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Seems a little like my sensitive teeth. I don't know that.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Well, if you get frozen, you can act Trader drugs.
You can buy a bag of frozen mango. Mangoes are
expensive and they're hard to cut.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
So that's frozen mangos where it's at.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
They're already chopped up in little cubes. So you take
the frozen mango, you put it in serving of it
or however much you want in a little bowl. You
wait like five ten minutes, let it thaw a little bit,
and then you eat it. And it's almost like a
popsicle or like mini like sorbet bites.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Oh okay, I could get down with that.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Oh good. And I've been craving a lot of fruit lately.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Throws some green peas in there, some frozen green peas
in mega.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
I'm just kidding, okay. And then the other thing I've
been loving this kind of matches with your or ring.
I don't know if you've noticed that I've been wearing
a watch the last two weeks.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I have.
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Why haven't you asked me about my new watch?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
You're right, I almost said something about it on Saturday
when we were in Franklis.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I've never worn a watch before.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I got distracted by I don't know what, probably a stroller.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I know why you got distracted by a caramel apple
because you have never eaten a caramel apple before.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
No, I mean not that I can't remember. I've never
bought one or ordered one, like as an adult. I
don't know if I tried one as a kid. It's
just never been my thing.
Speaker 4 (19:46):
I don't think it's my thing, but it's like an
American thing. No, I'm a shock that you had never
eaten a caramel apple before. Anyway, I've been wearing my
watch every day, so yeah, you saw it on Saturday.
You probably saw it last week. And it counts my steps.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Oh okay, are you sure that that's.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
It's probably not accurate?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Is that healthy for you?
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Well, I have been my job. I sit down all
the time. And I also don't like, you know, how
your phone tracks your steps don't carry my own, and
so you're.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Missing out on valuable steps when you get up to
go to the bathroom or something.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Well, I more so was like at the end of
the day, I'd look and I'm like, I have five
hundred steps, and I'm like, well, that's not healthy because
I'm sitting for five hours. I can't walk when I'm working,
And so I wanted to know, like accurately, like how
much am I really walking and moving? Because when I
get home from work, I've also been you know, pregnancy.
(20:45):
I'll give myself a lot of grace for the first
Why are you laughing?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I just well, I was curious that you want to know.
I'm laughing, okay, and here's my brain. While you're talking,
I'm like, oh, I wonder what is the brand? Ooh
should you put that in the next newsletter? As like
the item that you're obsessed with at the moment. And
I was like picturing you having your cute little watch,
like tap here if you want to get one, and
then over it's like what is under my picture? And
it's green Bees. So then I was like, okay, you
(21:13):
want me to link piece, I probably think I probably
need to find something else that I would link, But
what brand is it? Because it's I've never seen it.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
So I found this from a friend who saw an
influencer post about it. My friend was like, she swears
by this watch, and I'm like, she probably doesn't wear
that watch because if she posts an aura ring less
people are gonna buy that than if she posts this
twenty seven dollar watch.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
So I was skeptic if it's only twenty seven dollars.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Twenty seven dollars, it's like nice looking, it's.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Time, You're time.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
You're timer, timere Timere. It was twenty seven dollars, So
I was like, if it's if it doesn't work whatever.
I've loved having like the time on my hand though,
and like it has the day of the week and
in the date and it has I can send an alarm.
It's like I've never had a watch before.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I'm like, how how old do we sound? I'm like, yes,
episodes Green Peas and have you ever worn a watch?
Speaker 5 (22:22):
You ask what?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
I'm loving this?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
But it is really cute. It is like it's like
a gold It's different and it's not when you see
every day and for twenty seven dollars.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Well, and like I used to have. I did have
a watch at one point. I had an Apple watch
back in the day, and I had like a garment
by USA as when I would run to like track
my distance and like my pace and stuff. But I
don't want to know all of that, Like I just
want to know, like, am I like getting around? I
want to be like seven to eight thousand steps a day.
I'm fine with I was getting like five hundred.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You know. Obviously the standard that you've heard forever is
like ten thousand, blah blah blah. But that's not totally necessary.
Although it's a good goal to have. I think if
you're able, but I wouldn't. I used to beat myself
up about it if I didn't make it to ten,
But now I at least try to make it to
four thousand because I saw, like for our mental health,
four thousand is the goal for your brain. So I'm like, okay,
(23:13):
I'd rather approach this for brain health than well. Right,
and then as long as I'm between four and ten,
I feel good about it.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Well.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
And like the other day, like I said, I was
like that first roemester, I was on the couch all
day long. I'm allowed to do that. But then I
got in this habit of like getting home from work
and just sitting on the couch and it's so nice out.
And when I looked at my watch and I was like,
you've had sixteen hundred steps and it's three o'clock in
the afternoon, it was so motivating to get me to
(23:42):
go outside, right, you know, not even because I'm like
I have to burn these calories. It was like I
probably need some fresh air. Like it's really nice and
that's fashionable.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So yeah, so shout out to the love influencer that
your friends call.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Yeah, And it made me think of how you were
like six months. We talked about this, like, do influencers
really use the stuff that they sell? I did think
about that when she told me, but then honestly, I'm like, well,
if it's a good rec I don't really care if
she really uses it. Yeah, she probably has a nicer watch.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
But if that's when you can throw on or you
really like it, then and.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I break it. If something happens to it, you're not
worried about, I'll lose it eventually, Like yeah, money a thing,
twenty seven dollars.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
So people really resonated with your glasses story from last week.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Like which made me feel so seen.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
It was bumping on social media like tons of shoes. Sorry,
I eat green peas now I bumpin'. I mean poppin'.
It was popping off. It was popping off. That's that's
what the kids say. No, it was popping off. It
got shared like what like a thousand times or something
(24:55):
or almost.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
That's my check. It was around eight hundred, but like,
let's shoot for a thousand.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Okay, let's see where it is now. Okay, we'll look
it up because it's been a couple of days since I.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Popped off too.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
Well.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Yeah, but when something gets shared. Yes, mine might have
more views of my parents doing it, but I don't
know that if people. I think people were just like, oh,
that's crazy, like so many people. I mean, there were
people in the comments they're like, oh my gosh, that
happened to me too. A Scarred for Life, which we
have a voicemail coming up, will play well probably. I
think towards the end of the show, we have a
(25:27):
funny voicemail that we got from a listener regarding that.
But I think with yours, people were resonating like I
had that this is me anxiety as a kid, or
I would sleep with my glasses and okay, let's see.
Let's go to the shares. Is it poppin'? Is it
a nine hundred and seventeen?
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Oh my goodness, yeah, okay, so it's still going h huh.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, who knew social media. It's weird how it works
because you would think like that many shares anyway, these videos,
I don't know what makes something in viral. You never know.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
I think sometimes it's random.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
It's totally random. We know that for us. If we
talk about giving cussing, giving people permission to cuss for
their mental health.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
That worked really well well and because remember not remember,
but you posted that same video to TikTok and I
looked and it had like a thousand views.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Well, Instagram loved it.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Yes, Well, it's just weird how that works, Like one
can pop off in the other.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
It's two different worlds. Kane Brown was talking about how
he's got Instagram or meta like meta things like Facebook
and Instagram down. He's got those on lock. He said,
as an artist, he cannot pop off on TikTok, which
you would think, and he's famous, Yeah, he is. I
interviewed him. I heard Country Festival. That's one of the
things he said that his team just had this whole
(26:51):
meeting about how he can't freaking figure out TikTok. And
it's not for lack of try, Like he's like out
there trying to figure it out, and he's just like,
I don't know. He's like, I feel like, if you're
all already established, TikTok is great for new people getting exposure.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Okay, well we're not established yet.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
But for him, like as an artist, like he's got
so many popular things going on, he would think it
would happen for him. But it was interesting to hear
someone with a lot of success talk about how they're
struggling with certain.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Well, thanks, that makes us feel better.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Oh well, so we did. We got an email that
I wanted to share. Okay, and shout out to Angie
who listens from Georgia and she's sixty one. All right, Angie, Hey,
Amy and Kat. I've been listening to y'all since before,
feeling things and just love your conversations and friendship. Now
that I'm thinking she's sixty one, she probably loves our
watch and pee talk, right democratic Angie shout out green
(27:49):
Peace after listening this week, I just wanted to let
Kat know that she wasn't the only one who was
so fearful as a child. I was always worried I
was going to get kidnapped too. I had a lot
of irrational and I'm so glad I finally outgrew them.
Congratulations on your pregnancy, Have the day you need to.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Have, Thanks Angie. I was reading a lot of those comments,
and honestly, I felt like, because that nobody's ever I've
told that story to a million people, nobody's ever been
like me too. They're just kind of how you were, Like, Oh,
I feel so bad for you. A lot of the
people were saying like what they did, and Elizabeth Fazio
(28:27):
wrote on there that she would do that because she
was afraid of a zombie apocalypse. And so now I'm like,
I have to rethink my outgrowing this fear. I should
be wearing my glass. What do I do if something
happens I wear contacts. You don't wear contacts. No, what
(28:48):
happens if there's like I don't know, let's okay, zombie
apocalypse probably is not gonna happen. But the world, I mean,
some crazy stuff could happen and we could be like
what happened in bird Box that movie.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Well they couldn't see anyways, so it'd be fine they couldn't.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Okay, you're right. I was just thinking like if we
get like stranded somewhere or something like that, Like you
could only wear contacts for so long you can't sleep
in them, Like my eyes get I have to take
my contacts out.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
We'll just have a go bag, like you need.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
Like a go bag gra glasses.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
With glasses other necessities. Yeah, that's what they call it
in the military if they have to deploy quickly somewhere,
like when I was married to Ben, and he was
in the Air Force with his particular line where he
had a go bag ready at all times.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
What do people this is? You might not know the answer,
but you might because of that. If you're in the
military and you wear glasses or contacts, do you carry
can you wear glasses?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I don't know. Ben couldn't have any vision problems as
a pilot.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
In fact, wait, you have to have No, you can't
wear contacts and be in the army.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Well, Ben, he was maybe different.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I don't no, his stuff was different. I just know
he was always like trying to He's always nervous anytime
he had to go to the eye doctor he had
to do physicals.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
And he doesn't wear contact sir, I guess you could
get lazy.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
He does now he has like reading glasses, but they're
not it's only if he's on the computer. Okay, But
I don't know if to fly an airplane he needs
the glasses because he can.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Well, that makes sense that you wouldn't be able to
wear contacts and be in like special forces or something
like that. Oh, I've never thought that.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I'm not Okay, Okay, Shannon said, yes, you can wear
contact lenses in the Army, but not during basic combat
training or field deployment environments. While allowed on normal duty,
they must be clear. Oh so you can't. You can't
wear colored contacts. You can't wear out.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
I had purple contacts in high school. Yeah, so.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
What about she? And when you look up for pilots,
because now I'm curious, like Air Force pilots if they can.
I just remember being always being like I'm nervous to
go to his and then he would end up doing fine,
but he would be nervous anytime because he had to
do these eye drops. Well, I'm probably saying too much now,
I don't want to get him. He's out now. But
his best friend was a doctor and he got these
(31:12):
eye drops, but he never wanted to be on his record.
Did he use the eye drops? So his friend would
just be like, here's some samples.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I guess you could get Lasik eye surgery. Honestly, the
government should pay for that. He says.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
To wear contacts while flying, you must be enrolled in
the Air Force's contact lens program, so I guess you can.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
I don't really know.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Ben did not just think avoided it at all, cause
like he didn't want to ever have. How Ben liked
to be at his job was under the radar. He
wanted no asterisk next to his name.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
I didn't want to be special.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
He didn't want to be specially want to be noticed.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
He didn't want awards he did and he did win.
He wouldn't want He didn't want that.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
He actually excelled like he was always top of his unit,
like people highly revered him. Is that a does that
sound military?
Speaker 5 (32:08):
You know?
Speaker 1 (32:08):
With our daughter, he has a medal that he got
from one of the wars, not a purple heart because
he's never been shot at or in combat or anything.
But he has a bronze star maybe or something, and
you can put that on your license plate. Now, he
would never for himself. He doesn't want that kind of attention.
(32:29):
But when our daughter started driving, he put it on
her car. What does she get, Well, she's black and
his thinking. When we went through adoption training, they said,
as white people, you aren't going to understand what your
child may go through of a different race when they're
pulled over. And this isn't anything again, I mean, it's
(32:49):
just there's stories out there, so you can't be too careful.
It's not like we're I know, I law enforcement that
respects all races. I'm not on pointing anything. I guess
I just feel weird saying it because I don't want
anybody to think I'm calling him out. But obviously we
know of circumstances in which people have been treated unfairly,
and so we thought for her, it's just like an
(33:11):
extra protection that we won't ever understand. But they may
see oh air force, oh a medal? Oh tell me,
and she could say, oh, my dad served in the
air force, and it's more of a conversation starter of
like oh fellow first responder type or you know, police
military firefighter. That was like our one thing we could
(33:34):
do for her that we won't never understand as white people.
Who's the guy that was in the Family movie with
the Family Show?
Speaker 4 (33:54):
You say it?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yes, Sterling K.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Brown.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I only know this loosely.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
I couldn't remember I talked to you about this, but.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Now you think Bobby talk to me about so I
never heard it from you.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
So he was on Armchair Expert before Paradise came out
the second season. He also was in what is That?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
The Mandy Moore one?
Speaker 4 (34:13):
What is it? This is Us? Thanks Kat, This was
a really interesting perspective. So Dax Shepherd, the host of Armchair,
they do not post their kids on social media, and
I think if they do that, they like put a
thing over their face or something. And they were talking
about how they raised Dax and Sterling K. Brown. We're
(34:34):
talking about how I feel like I can't call Sterling K.
Brown by his first name, but I can call Dax
by his first name. I even know. Yeah, I didn't
feel the need to say Dax Shepard, but I felt
the need to say Sterling. I'm not on that level
with him yet. So he was talking to him about
like how they protect their children or how they raise
their children being so famous, and Dax was like, well,
(34:58):
we hide. We don't like want them to be on
the internet, and then we want them to be able
to go out and be normal people and all that.
And then Sterling K. Brown was like, Oh, that's so
interesting because we do the exact opposite, because we want
people to know who they are to protect them because
Sterling K. Brown is black, Dax Shepherd is white. And
it was it was actually a really cool conversation for
(35:19):
them to talk about that and to be able to
see the other's perspective and for Dax to be like,
because I think a lot of people this is a
judgment of a judgment. But I think a lot of
people see people that put their kids on the internet
and are like, you shouldn't do that. But Sterling K.
Brown is like, no, we want people to know who
our kids are so they have more not visibility, so
(35:42):
they get things, but so they're protected and they don't
get misjudged or hurt or whatever, wrongly accused of something.
And I just thought that was I mean, it was
eye opening for me. I've never had to think about that.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, And that's what we learned in the adopted training,
adoption training. If you're going to have a adopt a
different race, like you're not gonna yeah, under understand what
they may go through. And we were like, oh, well,
can't hurt. Yeah. So Ben decided to put that on
her license late.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
And I do recommend have you listened to that episode yet? Okay,
even if you don't listen to Armchair Expert, I would
listen to that episode because it was very They talk
about all kinds of stuff. His life is so interesting,
like so interesting, and he is the most like energetic
human who is I've ever heard tell a traumatic story
(36:39):
Like he has a heart, some hard things in his life,
but his attitude is like you just want to bottle
it up.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
Oh okay, I'll go check it out. And then when
you were telling the story again, I know I heard
Bobby and Caitlin told me about it, But then when
you were telling it just now, I was like, did
we talk about it? I don't know, Like did we talk?
Then I was like, did we talk about it on
the podcast? No, I don't know if we did. Sorry,
we can't remember.
Speaker 4 (37:05):
We can't remember. Maybe you don't remember it in your life.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Oh wow, yeah, no big deal. Something that we did
talk about. Last week we shared the email of relating
to your fear of being kidnapped, and now we have
a voicemail that is talking about keeping a gun under
your bed.
Speaker 4 (37:23):
This is from a.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Listener whose dad has pat her around guns her whole life,
so it's very different. I think if you're more comfortable
being around guns, and here's what she had to say.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
Okay, ladies, I'm listening to your show from Spicewood, Texas,
and I am feeling protective because I totally agree with
the serial killer. My dad has had me around guns
my whole life. I've done female defense courses at our
police train and all kinds of stuff, so I feel
very comfortable and I think that that is a very
big part about having guns. But I too have a
(37:57):
thirty eight special get caliber, as you're saying, by my
bed and it is my dad built something. It's a
piece of metal and the whole story is welly to it,
so it fits in between your box springs and mattress.
So it's there, ready to go. And I heard you
mentioned safety. There's no safety on that gun, and that's
why it's a great home defense gun because when you
(38:19):
wake up, whatever the case may be, you just pull
the trigger. So I highly recommend that. I understand the
kids in the house having one of those fingerprint boxes,
but I would have it ready to go right on
my bedside table. I also carry bear spray. Bear spray
shoots a lot farther than mace.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Just a suggestion.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Okay, So that's good to know about the bear spray. Yeah,
I know, because I think I'm more likely to have
bear spray than a thirty eight.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Well what's a fingerprint box?
Speaker 3 (38:47):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Well, you it's locks. It and you you your finger
filt that way. It's safe for kids. Like a gun
box that's locked, okay, but it can only unlock with
your finger your prints.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Yeah, I don't think I'll keep the bear spray under
my bed for sure.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Yeah, that's why I'm more likely to have the bear spray.
Speaker 4 (39:04):
Yeah. Also because I mean, I think I said this
last week. Last week, Patrick sometimes does weird sleep things.
So I can see him. You don't want an unlocked
gun near him if he's sleepwalking or something. No, we
would ne up on him.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
Maybe even bear spray. I'm nervous about that now for
you too.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
That's sweet new safety on the bear spray.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Could did he use that as a defense, like if
something were to happen? Does do people get off if
they have sleepwalking in their.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
I'm sure that. Well, if he like murdered me in
my sleep, yeah, but it was an accident, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
I wonder because we know he has episodes like for sure,
not like that. But he's sleep walks.
Speaker 4 (39:49):
He's never well, he's only since I've been with him,
he's only gotten out of the bed twice. But he does,
he'll talk and sometimes he does interesting movements. Right, Okay,
that's interesting. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
I don't know either. That was from Lindsay, by the way,
and she called back and left another message because she
had more to say. And boy am I glad she
called back because this is a really good tip.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
Okay, I forgot this part two cats sleeping in her
glasses when I was a little kid. This is Linda,
the from spice Wood that just called. I forgot to
put this part on this. I used to sleep when
I was a kid with a big stick, and I
called it a weenie stick. So if anybody broke in,
I'd hit them in a WEENI hope that serial killers
are having the day they need to have by.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
So I could do a weenie stick embarrass ray, Yeah,
for sure.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
I wonder if it was like it's actual stick outside,
or she have like a baton or something like.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
Oh, I was picturing like a metal rod, I mean
baseball bat good good point. That's interesting. You were maybe
picturing a stick outside. I was picturing like one of
those sticks the police used, like a baton stick, the
baton thing called a nightstick. Oh, I don't know sure
it's I think it's called a baton too. Okay, but
not like a baton. You would turl. Did you ever
(41:08):
work with a baton as a child.
Speaker 4 (41:09):
Well, we did because my mom was a major atte
in high school. She could troll fire.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Wow. Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 4 (41:17):
Yeah. She still has like her like outfits and she
still has her batons from when she was in high school.
We played with them when we were kids. But I
could be like, Mom, I need your baton to put
under my.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Bed, to be your wienie stick.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
It's made out of metal. It would hurt.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
We got another voicemail about our Chick fil A protein
bar discussion. This is from Tony. Hi.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
This is Tony and I am in Elebanon and I'm
forty two years old, and I just wanted to let
y'all know that at Chick fil A you can order
just the chicken file a. It's in the app and
it's four and seventy cents if you order the fried.
(42:02):
Just thought y'all might fine. I'm interesting, Thank you, and
have the day you need.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
To have so you know, you don't even have to
get the bun.
Speaker 4 (42:10):
You don't have to have food waste.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
I wasted the bun the other day. I went after
we talked about it. Yeah, I was craving it. So
I went and I tried it, and I just ate
the fried filet and it was like it was okay.
Then I went back a couple days later and I
was with the kids and I got nuggets, and I
was like, this is where it's at. If I'm just
gonna eat fried protein meat, I might as well eat
(42:32):
the nuggets. Like to me, it was better. It was
eating the filet felt weird.
Speaker 4 (42:36):
What is the science hack behind doing the file at
versus why weren't people just like go get chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1 (42:44):
I think there were. It was just more of like
if you're going to get a protein bar, like get
the filet because it's like more like just take a
bite out of this instead of a protein bar. And honestly,
there might be more protein in the filet than nuggets
unless you get a twelve count. Maybe I don't know
who any nuggets you have to get to equal the
chicken fil a, But I just thought it was And
(43:07):
when I got the nuggets, I was like, Okay, this
is where it's at. Because the fil a I wanted,
like the bread.
Speaker 4 (43:12):
And the pickles. I know you don't like it. I
don't like pickles. That's fine, and you ate it. Play
no ketchup?
Speaker 1 (43:17):
No, I dipped it and stuff. I dipped it. I
dipped my protein bar in stuff. Sheandon said that the
standard fried Chicken fil A has around twenty three grams,
while a twelve count nugget coun take a forties, so
you're already getting more protein if you get the twelve count.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
No, go for the twelve count, guys, let's go.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
I did see that. If you're a nurse at Chick
fil A. Today's the final day though, Today's the final
day of nurses week. So I guess nurses week started
last week and it goes until today. When people are
listening to this, it's going to be Tuesday, the twelfth,
and that's the final day of nurses week, and the
final day you can get like a free Chick fil
A sandwich or chicken biscuit. Now that's where it's at,
the chicken biscuit from Chick fil A, but you have
(43:55):
to have it on the biscuit.
Speaker 4 (43:56):
Would never get the filet off of the biscuit. That's
too good and precious of carbs.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
So good with a little jelly. Do you eat it
with jelly?
Speaker 6 (44:06):
No?
Speaker 4 (44:06):
But get this, I eat it plain, Okay, I don't
like jelly? Is that my my husband eats his chicken
biscuit with ketchup on it?
Speaker 1 (44:16):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (44:18):
Is that how?
Speaker 1 (44:18):
I love ketchup? And I don't I love the idea
of that on a biscuit.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
Yeah, it feels like not correct. No, that's so I'd
rather have jelly than the ketchup.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Yeah. So if you are a nurse, I saw you
could go by. You just have to show a valid
ID that you're a nurse, like.
Speaker 4 (44:34):
Which you should.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
Here is my hospital identification card, so you can't go
be like no, I'm definitely not a nurse. But fun fact,
May twelfth is Nurse's Day because that's Florence Nightingale's birthday
and Florence Nightingale is the founder of modern nursing or
something like that. So shout out to any of our
(44:56):
listeners that are nurses. I feel like we probably have
a lot. My sister Kim, my half sister Kim, she's
a nurse. Go get your chick, Go get your free
chick for lay today.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
Girl, do you know what like Florence Nightingale, like what
time period she from? Like when you said that like,
what is modern nursing?
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Is she like from nineteen did she? Was she a
nurse in like nineteen thirty or nineteen forty, eighteen twenty
to nineteen ten? Oh, so modern nursingless. I was thinking,
it was like around, I don't know the Great Depression.
Speaker 4 (45:29):
Modern nurses before that.
Speaker 1 (45:31):
Well, i'm modern nursing.
Speaker 4 (45:32):
What's a modern nurse?
Speaker 1 (45:34):
I don't know. So she died in nineteen ten, so
she wasn't even alive when the Titanic sank.
Speaker 4 (45:41):
She was ninety years old, though, Wow, good for nurse.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
I was way late on that. Yeah, well, happy birthday, Florence.
Speaker 4 (45:51):
Wait when did the Titanic sink?
Speaker 1 (45:52):
Nineteen twelve? You don't know how did you know that?
Speaker 4 (45:56):
I would have said nineteen twenty for some reason.
Speaker 1 (46:10):
You don't know that.
Speaker 4 (46:11):
Did you know that? I would have said nineteen twenty
for some reason.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
No, nineteen twelves, you just know that. And then the
movie Titanic came out in nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety seven.
Because I saw it Valentine's Day nineteen ninety eight and
had already been out a couple of months. We w
on a date I was and I remember my boyfriend
at the time, and I know when we dated, so
I know that's what we went to see.
Speaker 4 (46:36):
Cute.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
Did you see Titanic in theaters or you were too little?
Speaker 4 (46:41):
This is the thing about that I remember. This is
what's weird. I remember being at my friend Katie's house
and us being like, We're going to go see Titanic
in theaters. But I would have been eight years old.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Well that's okay, I saw a pretty woman at nine.
Speaker 4 (46:58):
You said, nineteen ninety seven. Yeah, I was seven years old.
Speaker 1 (47:01):
There's no it was still in theaters in nineteen ninety eight,
because I'm saying I went in nineteen ninety eight. I
went Valentine's Day in nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
Well I would have been seven at that time. Okay,
but I can't imagine going. Why do I have the
memory that I did that? But there's no way I
did that. Do you have any of those Like I
have this distinct memory. Maybe I had a dream, Maybe
maybe I dreamt this happened, And now I'm confusing, like
this dream I had as an adult with like an
(47:28):
actual memory as a child.
Speaker 1 (47:30):
I do that with pictures from childhood. Is like like
I or videos that I've seen where I think we
were there, and then our brain when we remember something,
we remember the latest version of what we remember. Yeah,
and so then does our brain then start to think
that we were actually there and that's what it's registering.
Speaker 4 (47:51):
Yeah, this is so meta in my you know. So
I don't think I saw it in theaters, but I
might have had a that I did.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
I have subtle signs there, you're spiraling? Are you spiraling
right now?
Speaker 4 (48:07):
My brain? Just like you know when you're it's like
that meme of all the math equations. That's what just
happened to me when you were talking.
Speaker 1 (48:14):
Okay, Well, before we go into the subtle signs that
you might be spiraling, we can honor Florence Nightingale and
all the nurses out there.
Speaker 4 (48:22):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
She is considered the founder of modern nursing and a
pioneer in hospital sanitation. Thank you for that, Florence Nightingale,
evidence based care and statistical analysis and medicine. Her work
during the I don't even know this war?
Speaker 4 (48:38):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (48:39):
Crimine? Crime? Crimin war establish the fundamental principles of infection control.
In eighteen sixties, she founded the Nightingale Training School for
nurses at Saint Thomas' Hospital in London, elevating nurses from
a non educated domestic role to respectable train. That's scientific professions.
(49:00):
I made it officially. This is a profession, not just
a woman taking care of caring for you.
Speaker 4 (49:06):
I was gonna say, as you were reading this, like
doing all this in like eighteen sixty women didn't have
a lot of jobs, jobs or rights or like, say, so,
it's kind of crazy that she was able to do
all this, Like it's crazy that people were listening to
her even you know. So there needs to be a
movie on her. If there's not, maybe there is. Surely
(49:27):
there is, or at least there's a documentary. Sure there's
a lot. I want it to be a I don't
want a documentary on her. I want to watch like
a I want a true story, but it be a
movie movie.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
Yeah. I'm also thinking of all the nurses. I am
Mercy Ship's ambassador something. All the nurses aboard the Mercy Ships.
They're all volunteers. No way they show up, they get
to go aboard, and they're volunteering their time. They're not
paid staff. So shout out to nurses and sometimes when
(49:59):
I post about them, all get comments from people they're like, oh,
my gosh, my mom was a nurse on nurse ships,
or my mom not even a nurse, maybe they worked
in the cafeteria. And I'm always like, oh, small world,
because those ships are far away. They're not in our backyard. No, yeah,
they're like in Sierra Leone something. Yeah, so all nurses,
(50:19):
those that have even when I think of my parents
when they were in the hospital, like, the nurses had
some they had to do some tough stuff.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
And you spend more time with the nurses than you
were a doctor ever.
Speaker 1 (50:29):
Yeah, and they really have to care for you on
such a deeper level. And then they have to go
home to their normal lives after seeing everything that they
see every day. So shout out subtle signs you're actually spiraling.
This is from Carrie Howard. She's a therapist for anxious overthinkers.
Speaker 4 (50:46):
I'm going to relate to everything you say, and it's
going to remind me of stroller gates.
Speaker 1 (50:50):
So okay, I'll just run through them real quick. Subtle
signs you should look out for that, my equal, you
are spiraling. You feel a sense of urgency to figure
it out right now. Your thoughts are circling, not solving.
You keep looking for reassurance, but it's not sticking. Your
body feels tense, restless, and on high alert. You're procrastinating,
(51:12):
zoning out, or avoiding something. You're thinking in absolutes like
always never worst case. You keep over analyzing and second
guessing yourself and you're trying to think your way out
instead of feeling. What's there? Just subtle signs, yeah, subtle science,
like I think you're good on the zombie apocalypse. Like
I don't think you need to wear glasses or worry about.
Speaker 4 (51:34):
I think I can be. I'll always have a pair
of glasses in reach. I can grab them. I don't
have to keep them on my face.
Speaker 1 (51:40):
Yeah, just your little go back, but you don't need
to worry about it.
Speaker 4 (51:42):
And I'll put the bear spray in the go back.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
I'm got the bear spray on my nightstand.
Speaker 4 (51:46):
Well, the go bag will be wherever I am.
Speaker 1 (51:50):
I saw a funny video Kat, Who's the funny girl
on Instagram? Kat Ziggler Cat? You know she was rumored
to be dating John Mayer for a little bit. She's
got on here. She's so funny. I don't know sickler.
Speaker 4 (52:03):
Oh oh oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Cat stickler, stickler. She's so funny.
Speaker 4 (52:09):
She's curly hair, no black. Oh okay, I heard you
say curly?
Speaker 1 (52:14):
Are you spirally? So she did a funny video of
she got her cute little purse and how she's like,
they say, keep mace in your purse in case you
get attacked, And then she starts digging through her bag
and she pulls out like her sunglasses and like gum
and then like lipstick, and then she's like hold one second,
like she's talking to the attacker because she's digging in
her bag for the mace.
Speaker 4 (52:34):
And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's such a good point,
Like well we even be able to find it, yes.
Speaker 1 (52:38):
Like we're gonna have the bear spray in our bag,
but yeah, I think bear spray would be easier to
find because it's like a bigger sure can I can't?
All right, let's close with a funny voice smell that
we got about walking in on your parents, just to
put a bow on this week's episode and tie it
back to last week's as well. We love here ring
(53:00):
how y'all relate stuff that we talk about. This is
from Elda from Huddo Texas.
Speaker 9 (53:05):
Here it is night there, My name is Elda, and
I'm calling from Huddo, Texas. I wanted just to call
because y'all had me cracking up when Amy was sharing
her little parents' extracurricular activities.
Speaker 5 (53:20):
Basically, I have that same vision in my head that
has been with me since I was ten. But the
funny part for me is that I walked up to
my parents' room and the door was closed, but the
door was not locked, walked in, saw the same thing,
same position, unfortunately, and was so shocked that I just
(53:43):
turned around and walked away. And I can still see
my brother coming towards me, going towards the door as well,
and I did not say a word to him. So
we shared that terrifying sight childhood trauma, and we joke
about it now. But anyway, it's just I wanted to
share because you are not alone, Amy. I just wanted
to let you know that you are not alone. Love
(54:06):
you guys, Love hearing y'all. Thank you for all the
inspiration and amazing that you both are. I appreciate you all.
Thank you. Have a great day.
Speaker 4 (54:14):
Bye bye, Thank you. Elda.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
Yeah, I mean she didn't even she even Warner brother.
Speaker 4 (54:20):
Was she shocked or was She like, if I had
to see it, you have to see it, Like if.
Speaker 1 (54:24):
I go down, you go down. We're having this memory together,
this nightmare. I mean I would maybe it would be
a little bit of both. I think at that age though,
