Earlier in the week I was asked to be a guest on the podcast The
Brad Garrett Effect. We recorded and it was
successful. It was aired this past Thursday
and I encourage you to go on andlisten.
The topics were trade schools and colleges and when they
collide we talk about tuition prices versus trade school
(00:20):
prices. We also go into detail to talk
about how some media and how movies didn't age very well.
Of course, we get sidetracked onto other things.
I think overall it's an excellent episode.
You can find this podcast on TheBrad Garrett Effect on TikTok.
You can go on all listening platforms to find the podcast
The Brad Garrett Effect, Instagram, Facebook, TuneIn, and
(00:45):
I hope you enjoy. That song is so scary.
Let's come down to earth, shall we?
Let's come down to earth. Welcome back to cut and loose
chronicles. I am your host Jess, and joined
with me is. Ashley Robbins, buddy back.
(01:07):
Thank you so much. I got my voice back today so.
Excited. It actually sounds really good.
Good, because yesterday when yousent me the video.
Wasn't it so bad? It was really bad.
It was so bad. I know.
So what we're going to do is we're going to go over, well, I
have, I have a few announcementsto make actually, but we're
going to do a recap of the show thus far.
(01:28):
So we are this is like going to be our 9th episode.
Alright, that's exciting. Season 1, ninth episode, but
we're going to do a recap. So we started out in the
beginning with motion for an extension.
Yeah, I love that that was. Great.
So we were getting our feet wet is what we were doing.
We knew we wanted to do a podcast and we knew we wanted to
(01:48):
be about hair. So Ash and I, many years in the
in the field, we just jumped right in.
And I guess my passions, hair extensions, of course, we do all
kinds of things and Ash loves hair extensions.
I do. So that's what we chose to do.
Then we went into some of the court cases with Judge Judy,
which I actually enjoy doing. Yeah, I.
(02:08):
Like that too? Well, you know I love court TV.
You know that I love Court TV. And you know, Judge Judy's a bad
ass, but there's so many about hair.
It was kind of it. Was actually kind of surprising
to me that there was so many about hair dreadlocks, haircuts,
hair extensions, like so many different realms in the hair
world. It was pretty surprising to me.
(02:28):
And a lot of times I noticed that Judge Judy, she kind of
protected the hairdresser. I noticed that most times I
think she ruled in favor of the hairdresser.
Yeah. And we both know that, you know,
it can go either way, but so we,we tested the waters on that,
which we'll probably continue todo throughout the time.
Then Brittany Hill came on the show and we did an episode about
(02:49):
hair schools, hair schools, how much it cost for I went 95
versus her, the, the big hair academies.
And we did an episode on that. Plus we did some advice on how
to handle people who are not happy.
Right. You did like and then you did
like booking the way that me andyou book versus the way that
like the new age. Right.
Stylist Book. Exactly.
(03:11):
Which is a great episode. Yeah, I like that.
I went into Ashley's summer haircare, which we're going to
continue to do that where Ash comes on and she gives her
recommendations on how you take care of your hair during the
summer and all of the heat with the swimming pools.
Beach boat, all of it, Yeah. Everything.
And of course, summer's not hereyet.
(03:31):
We're still in spring. Not rush it.
I love spring. Me too.
Hate summer. I hate.
You too, I hate summer. But it's coming, and we all know
how that goes down. And then we went into another
episode to where Ash and I, we touched base on, Oh no, you know
what, We're forgetting Marsha. Marsha came on where she had
(03:52):
confessed to be addicted to bleach.
She's a blonde. Rexic, a blonde Rexic.
That's amazing. That's great.
So and then we had Brittany comeon again.
But then we did, which is my favorite episode which you all
have not listened to yet. If you haven't Shagalicious.
Shagalicious. To where Ash and I talk about
(04:12):
hair from the 1960s. I love that throughout the
decades to to current day and how hair has not changed very
much how it has, but it hasn't. Evolved, but not really right?
Yeah, Yeah. Kind of like fashion, I would
say. And I feel like as we've been
moving on into that's episode 8,that we are evolving, our show
(04:33):
is changing a little bit. We're getting feedback, we're
finding our place into what our show should be.
I have decided, which is a big decision, to still call it Cut
and Loose Chronicles because it it bases off of Cut and Loose
Salon. And oh, you all hear that siren
because we have the windows open.
I'm trying to air out the smell of English Bulldogs in my house.
(04:55):
So I decided instead of calling it Cut Loose Chronicles Memoirs
of a Hair Stylist, which we justaired, I just aired the first
memoir, A salon story called TheDead Perm.
I loved it. I thought it was.
Great. And just to clear it up
everybody, that was a 100% authentic story.
That really happened. I mean we changed the names
(05:15):
right to protect the innocent. So I guess 98% authentic?
She may be dead by now. We've not.
It's true. If anyone listened, you need to
listen. We're going to continue every
month to have a different salon story.
Should we have got a ton of stories that actually could
probably write a book on? And Ashley herself is going to
be telling one herself. I'm going to tell one.
I've decided to drop Memoirs of a Hair Stylist off of Cut and
(05:38):
Loose Chronicles and just call it Cut and Loose Chronic.
I like it, It's simple. We're going to talk about a lot
of things. We're always going to talk about
hair, but not everybody out there wants to hear about hair
all the time. But what I do know every
everybody wants to hear is us talking.
That's right. Because we are so exciting.
We are so funny. We are so funny.
We have so much to say. So our promise to you is to
(06:00):
bring you joy, humor, and all of.
That, yeah. And laughter, right?
Plus hair advice, hair tips. Yeah, hair stories.
And maybe we can, like I said, like even what we're going to
talk about today, you'll see. We'll put in our little hair,
$0.02 into most of what we do, Ifeel like.
Exactly. Today's episode we are going to
call tension Attention from Outer space.
Why you ask? Good one, it's because we're
(06:24):
going to talk about hair elasticity, how to improve your
hair elasticity, why your hair elasticity has taken a crap, and
how to bring it on back. We're also going to talk about
some of the stories in today's news, like Katy Perry in
Entering Space. Yeah, I want to talk about all
the ladies that entered space inthat historic 11 minute flight.
(06:47):
But before we get any more into this, I want to go back and go
back to Shaggalicious to where Imade a Boo Boo.
It was brought to my attention multiple times that I said that
Liza Minnelli's mother was JulieAndrews.
I'm so stupid. Stupid stupid, stupid, stupid,
stupid. Her mother is Julie Judy.
(07:08):
Judy Garland. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
None other than the. Judy Garland, Yes, so there.
OK, so there's my my big apologies.
I'm not perfect. They're a news flash.
It was. It was Somewhere over the
Rainbow, not The Sound of Music,right?
Exactly, Ashley understands me. Why don't you people?
So I also have another thing I want to introduce.
(07:28):
I am now going to be selling collagen.
It's called collagen 9 and many times the every client. 9 out of
10 clients sit in my chair and they say how can I improve my
hair? Why is my hair not shiny?
Why is my hair balding and thinning?
What can I do to get my hair back from all kinds of things?
(07:49):
And you know what's funny, normally, I mean, me and you, we
would recommend a ton of hair products, but a lot of times the
problems that are going on with your hair are systemic and
they're inside the body. And so you got to treat the
inside of the body too, so that it can come out on the outside.
And I know collagen is great forthat.
So I'm interested in this. I didn't hear about this.
So a lot of the times I always say, I always say because that's
the answer collagen and, and collagen is biotin and you can
(08:10):
mix it in anything you want to mix it in coffee, your tea, your
smoothie, whatever you want to do.
And I always say, Oh yeah, just get it off of Amazon or, and I
just recommend whatever, just a free flow.
Just go out there and just pick a pick a college.
And they're not all the same. They're not, no.
So I have found a very reputable1 and it's called Collagen 9.
(08:30):
So get with me, get with Ashley,She can get you all the
information. e-mail me at cutandloosechronicles@gmail.com.
Also, I'm promoting gut health. I'm I'm promoting joint health.
If anybody's got any inflammating inflammation in
their joints. These are all really important
things. They're really important things
for overall health and Wellness.So I'm right on top of it.
(08:53):
I'm, I'm excited to announce that I also have something else
that I'm excited to. I've not told Ashley about it
yet. It's very exciting.
I I can't wait to tell everybodyI am from a podcast also called
Joint Laughter. That's right.
I've been with Joint Laughter for two years with Leslie Bush
(09:14):
and we have done well over 150 episodes.
Pretty amazing. That's great.
Thank you. And one of the episodes that we
did is called the Compassionate Criminal with Kenneth Speedy
Rawlerson, better known as Speedy Rawlerson, who robbed a
bank in Live Oak in the 90s. He also went on to hide from the
(09:38):
FBI in the golf Hammock Inglis Florida golf hammock for nine
years. How did he do that for 9 years?
I mean, I know it's just incredible story.
So he's on the television show. I almost got away with it.
He is on it. Yes, I am going to put the link
in this episode on how to watch.I almost his his episode if I
almost got away with it. He was also on America's Most
(10:00):
most wanted. He was also on The Deadliest
Catch. So I act like this guy is this
guy is completely he's a great guy.
He really is. And one of the reasons he was
able to hide out in the golf hammock is because the locals of
Inglis, Florida helped him. Helped him hide, didn't they?
Yes. Did he break the law?
(10:22):
Yeah, he did, definitely. He robbed a bank.
But it doesn't mean he's a terrible person.
Some people are desperate. Person He did his time.
Yeah, he did his time. So where I'm going with this is
there is a show on HBO called The Florida Man.
Oh yeah. OK.
And it had one season. It has now been approved for a
second season, but just recentlyapproved for a second season 1
(10:44):
of the 8. The producers from HBO reached
out to Joint Laughter Podcast and they saw Speedy Rawlerson on
our show and they thought he'd be wonderful for Season 2
episode of the episodes of The Florida Man and asked if we
would help. Like get in touch with.
Him, yes, because Speedy kind oflives off the spot.
(11:05):
Off the radar. He's off the radar completely.
And what of course we're like, absolutely.
Long story short, we are going to be on The Florida Man.
Good for you, that's so exciting.
I'm not sure you guys are super excited about that Over the
moon, I bet. Man 987654321.
(11:32):
Over the moon. Is really, which ties in with
our episode. Today I love it.
So clever. So let's go ahead and get into
it and then we'll get into hair elasticity.
OK? Ashley really, really is biting
up the the bit. And biting up the bell.
Blue Origin and Katy Perry's space exploration hit it up.
(11:53):
OK so I don't know if anyone hasa quite as strong as an opinion
as I do, but apparently it is being memed all over the
Internet so I'm not the only onethat feels the way that I feel.
I would like to hear somebody else's maybe opposite take than
I have on it. OK, so basically these six women
go to space fronted by Jeff Bezos's girlfriend, fiance.
(12:14):
Who's Jeff Bezos? Jeff Bezos is the Bezos.
Founder of Amazon, so just a little bit rich, just like I'm
stupid, just like him and Elon Musk.
Who's to fight for like richest person in the world and then
Elon Musk? Will come over, right?
So. Where does where does, what's
his face compare to Musk? Bezos, he's second.
I think he's second. Pesos, pesos.
(12:38):
It's always like first or second.
Now Jeff Bezos is second. But if you look at their like, I
mean, they were, they're competing for even space.
I mean, look, they made rockets and it's pretty crazy.
But apparently Elon Musk has that that sector pretty well
secured. OK, but Jeff Bezos wants to send
regular people to space at $1,000,000 plus a seat.
The first seat he gave up went for $28 million for one seat.
(13:00):
OK. So.
So say they pay $28 million, howfar into space are they getting?
OK, so this is like what? This was the whole kind of
debate about Katy Perry and Gayle King and everybody else
that went on this flight. Or are they really in space?
They did cross. It's called the Harmon line, I
think. So technically you are in space,
but their actual space, the amount of time they were in
(13:20):
space was 4 minutes. So you're not, you're not like
going to space, you're not goingto like the International Space
Station. You're not an extended time and
space there. The whole flight was 11 minutes
so. It's kind of like having a
Tootsie Roll pop and not really getting into the Tootsie Roll.
Yeah, you kind of like take a round.
Yeah, they got gypped 28 million.
You don't even get to the Tootsie Roll.
Exactly. It sounds like bullshit.
(13:42):
So these six women decide to go to space.
Like I said, his girlfriend or fiance, she's leading this whole
mission, right? She had their spacesuits
designer made because she didn'tlike the way spacesuits look.
They're just not pretty. So she has this.
That's the girlfriend of Jeff Bezos.
So she's the one that's, you know, fronting this whole thing.
She's a philanthropist. She's a she was a journalist.
(14:04):
And I think now she writes children's books.
So this whole mission was for women empowerment.
But I don't understand where this came from.
Why women empowerment? Why space?
We've already had women go to space.
We had the Challenger. I mean, there was women on that.
Then we had a solo Space Flight in the 60s from Valentina.
I don't know her last name, I could look it up, but she was a
Russian astronaut. Then we have Sumita Williams.
(14:26):
She's been to space several times.
She went to the International Space Station 3 times.
So it's kind of like, why are wedoing this?
I think it was a quite a stunt actually.
It seemed like quite a publicitystunt for pictures and for like.
I'm still orbiting around the Tootsie Roll, so I I totally get
you. It's a Do you think so?
I thought. It was a stunt.
I feel like it was just a media poll.
I do. Why do these women need that
(14:46):
they. Don't.
That's the point. So they were trying to say like,
it's all for all of us. This is for all women.
But no one I know can afford a space ticket to, you know.
And like you said, there's already been wonderful women who
have gone to space and already stood for that, but I don't
really the woman empowerment. Why is that necessary right now?
I think they made a mockery of it anyway, and it's not
(15:07):
necessary right now. That was a lot of the critique
that they got, was that why now?Why this when there's so many
other pressing issues in the world?
Why? Why flex that muscle?
You know, so you didn't know youcould do it.
And if they were just going to do it, to say that they did it,
I would have no problem with it.You want to go on a space
mission, Katy Perry, you have the money, do it.
But Katy Perry's been a huge proponent of climate change, of
(15:30):
environmental damage. They go up on the space plate,
which causes it, causes a lot ofdamage to our ozone, causes a
lot of greenhouse gas. Now, I'm not a big proponent of
climate change. I'd I stayed on the other side
of the aisle on that one. But if you are that person, why
would you go ahead and be a hypocrite and go to space and
then try to downplay all the things that you said before
because you wanted to go to space?
Excellent point. If I had $1,000,000, I wouldn't
(15:52):
waste it on a quick trip to space.
I'd rent an Airbnb with a bathtub big enough to swim laps
in. I hire someone to follow me
around playing triumphant sexy entrance music whenever I walk
into a room, and pay scientists to finally create a wine that
doesn't give you a hangover. Why float in zero gravity when
you can float in a pool of moneylike Sharon Stone in the movie
(16:14):
Casino? Space might have stars, but my
new designer wardrobe would makeme sparkle brighter than the
Milky Way. And honestly, if I wanted to see
space that badly, I just buy a telescope and use the remaining
$999,500 to fund what really matters.
Wine that refills itself, a private karaoke room with auto
(16:34):
tune that makes me sound like Adele, and enough casino chips
to make a pit boss sweat. Why did they choose Katy Perry
to be? Why was it Katy Perry that was
chosen? I don't know how they got
selected. You know, it was Gayle King,
Katy Perry, Ayesha Bo. She's the only one that was even
qualified. She does work.
She did work for NASA for six years.
(16:55):
And then these two other women that I'm sorry, I don't know who
they are, but none of them, they're just regular people.
They're not like anyone that hasany authority on space.
And then they're calling them astronauts.
And I know that you have a problem with that.
I have a problem with them beingcalled astronauts as well,
because they didn't. They didn't train for that.
(17:19):
I'm calling this Blue Origin mission to space faux feminism.
I've been watching the reaction to the Blue Origins all women's
Space Flight with a growing frustration.
What was presented as a feministmilestone struck me as a little
more than performative empowerment wrapped in glossy
marketing and hair extensions. When I first heard about the
mission, I was initially kind ofexcited about it, but as I dug
(17:40):
deeper I saw the troubling reality and 11 minute joyride
that co-ops feminist language while doing nothing substantive
to address the real barriers women face in aerospace or in
other areas as well. What bothers me most is how the
spectacle overshadows the genuine achievements of women
like Sunita Williams who spent not minutes but actual years
(18:01):
preparing for and executing actual scientific missions in
space. She went to the International
Space Station 3 times. Y'all.
She is a real astronaut. These women didn't just cross an
arbitrary line in the sky. They conducted research,
commanded stations and advanced human knowledge for all of us.
(18:23):
The optics of the Blue Origin flight seemed designed for
Instagram or TikTok, not inspiration.
Watching celebrities and coordinated cute little outfits
like your cute little space outfit, like you're an action
figure celebrate their brief ascent.
I couldn't help thinking about all the women engineers,
scientists, and aspiring astronauts who will never get
that opportunity despite their qualifications.
(18:45):
True feminism would mean addressing the systemic barriers
that keep women underrepresentedin aerospace engineering
programs and at NASA. This flight felt like girl boss
feminism at its worst, not an 11minute flight that cost more
than most women will earn ever in their lifetime.
An astron is a person trained and employed by a space program
(19:07):
to command, pilot, or serve as acrew member of a spacecraft.
Lots of intense training. Right.
So they didn't do any of that. So upon watching Like Megyn
Kelly and some other outlets cover this, I found out that
they trained for two days and most of the training was
learning how to get in and out of the ship and how to put on
their seatbelts. Oh, that's that's difficult,
rigorous. I need 2 two days for that.
(19:29):
Rigorous. Very.
Rigorous. So Katy Perry has taken some
horrific criticism for this. How do you feel about that?
Well, she said she was going to put the ass back in astronaut.
Why has Katy Perry had to assurefans she's OK?
Perry received online backlash recently following her trip to
space. Lift.
(19:52):
Off the hype from her 11 minute all female flight quickly
crashed back down to Earth with social media responding
negatively to claims that the group were astronauts.
I just wanted to honor my fellowastronauts and just.
And her comments about the science of Space Flight didn't
land either. I'm excited to learn more about
(20:12):
STEM and just the math. And I was listening to Cosmos by
Carl Sagan and reading a book onstring theory and Pythagoras.
Pythagoras. Fans were quick to come to the
Stars Aid, with a group sharing messages of support on a
billboard in Times Square. Perry commented on the post
saying that she's OK and that when the online world tries to
(20:33):
make me a human pinata, I take it with grace and send them
love. So, you know, so do you have
these astronauts who were the first people to walk on the
moon? Accomplished.
That's so such an accomplishment.
Two have kids that were just outthere lost and.
Stranded out? Yes, in the space station.
Which one was a woman, by the way?
They're making fun of it, but just if it wasn't.
(20:54):
For astronauts out there, we wouldn't have the technology
that we're doing right now, podcasting, using our phones,
anything we can do. So putting Katy Perry out there,
how do you think that made astronauts feel?
As she says, she's going to the ass back in Ash.
I think it's diminished. I think it's diminished their
accomplishments, whether they'remale or female.
(21:15):
First of all, not wearing the appropriate like space suit,
they would look all cute, which I listen, that's all fine.
But when you say you're doing this for women empowerment, to
me it has like the opposite effect.
It made them look silly. It made them look goofy.
They all had like lots of makeupon, earrings, not even the
proper shoes. Like it was just kind of like
they brought all these little toys up there with them.
It was a very weird, it was a very weird scenario.
Here's the thing. Real empowerment isn't about
(21:38):
spectacle. It's not about a handful of
privileged women doing extraordinary things while
cameras roll. Real empowerment happens in the
quiet moments and daily acts of courage that never make
headlines. Real empowerment is the single
mother who completes her degree at night after putting her kids
to bed. Real empowerment is the woman
who stands up to the workplace harassment even when it might
(21:59):
cost her her promotion. Real empowerment is a community
of women who pull the resources to start a small business in a
neighborhood that desperately needs it.
I'm not here to Pooh Pooh on Katy Perry.
If you really want to promote women empowerment, don't do
things like this. When we reduce women's
empowerment to publicity stunts or token achievements by the
already privileged, we missed the point entirely.
(22:21):
We create a false narrative thatempowerment is rare, distant and
reserved for the exceptional few.
All right, if you really want women empowerment, ladies, just
be yourselves. We don't have to do things like
this. We don't have to prove
ourselves. You got that everyone great.
So let's celebrate the unglamorous everyday forms of
women empowerment. So this kind of like goes along
(22:41):
with this has been something like there's been other
companies such as Virgin Galactic, SpaceX, they offer
civilian space tourism, right, But.
That's what it's called. That's what it should be called.
That's perfect word for it, right?
You're going to space as a tourist, you're going to go to
see what it's like. You're not an astronaut, OK?
David said that if that makes them astronauts, then he's a
(23:02):
gynecologist. David is Ashley's husband, by
the way, and I'm sure he's a he would make a great gynecologist.
So Donald Trump came on, you know, and he announced that
there's going to be where we cango to Mars.
They're going to start building homes on Mars eventually in our
future. I don't know if we'll ever see
that I. Know, but like Gayle King, she
said on her show, and this is another person who's big into
(23:23):
the climate, big into the environment, said that they're
going to start using these missions to put our trash in
space. Why the hell in space?
Yes, they're going to put our trash in space.
Like we're not already ruining our planet enough.
Now we want to put our trash into space.
So now we're going to, we're notgoing to just ruin our planet,
but our whole universe. Yeah, why not?
You know, Oh, I. Didn't even know that you've
done some research. I did.
(23:44):
It really affected me in a way because I just thought this is,
it's silly because these are allrich people already.
To try to compare them to us is one thing on its own.
And then to go to space and say that this is for all of us is
even a further stretch, right? Like it even makes us look so
much further away from from those people.
Did you ever see the movie The the new one?
The new alien movie? Romulus.
(24:05):
Yeah, I loved it. I loved it too.
I loved it. That got bad reviews.
Really, however, it got bad reviews.
Get away from her, you bitch. But you know how?
(24:26):
How did they get chosen to be? There to be there, right?
Isn't it spooky? Yeah.
How did you feel about that movie Alien?
Romulus So I really liked it in a different kind of way.
Like it was so intense, wasn't it?
It was really. It was very intense.
All the all the actual scenes ofthose face suckers.
So intense. So I'm a big fan of Alien and
the. Whole I'm a big fan of Ridley
(24:46):
Scott. Big time.
Me too. Oh my gosh, when that Romulus
one came out, when they were, when at the end, when it got
that scary monster. Half human, that.
Came off another movie. Oh, did you know there was
another movie that was based offof that?
And I don't remember what it was, but of course Dana told me.
Dana, my boyfriend, film critic.That's really, really scared me.
(25:08):
I know we got off of the beaten path here.
But it has to do. With space, it has to do with
space, yes. Isn't it kind of creepy to think
about it that one day there was going to be a human.
Humanity can live on Mars? Yeah, it's.
Really kind of blows my mind. Like it is really weird to me
that we could live on another planet eventually one day,
right? Like that brings so many other
questions in my mind, like wouldwe look different?
Would we start to evolve into like a different?
(25:29):
World How do you feel about aliens?
Do you feel the aliens are real?I feel like aliens could exist.
Why? I mean, to me it's silly to
think that they could not exist,right?
Me too, because even in the Bible there's little path
passages that suggest that therewere alien life form.
How are the the pyramids created?
A lot of it is very, very mysterious to me.
And I, you look at only the Galaxy that we can see that we
(25:50):
know it. It's infinite, right?
So there has to be something else.
I don't know what kind of life form it would be, but if it's on
a different planet, then it's alien, right?
So I definitely believe in that.I me.
Too, And it was they were referred to as the watchers.
So in in the Bible there's there's a little passages that
refer to them as the. Watchers.
I mean, if you read Revelation, it is otherworldly.
It is otherworldly. Bodies look at the human body
(26:11):
toes, fingers, tongues, ears, all of it weird eyes you know
when you when someone draws an alien, they usually draw a big
head, right, big eyes and they have like the.
Skinny. Body.
Exactly. Yeah.
Why is it so when we look at ourbodies, when there's blood and
guts and poop and pee on it, Whyare we not the perfect alien?
(26:33):
Well, you know, I think about another life form seeing us,
they would probably be totally freaked out by the way we look,
right? All the planets out there and
there's not other other life forms out there I.
Don't know to me I I feel like there has to be but.
That's just me. Well, I think, I think the the
government knows. I do I think.
Well, look at, come on, you've seen this stuff about Area 50.
One, we're going to have to do an episode.
Now, so we'll have to do like, we'll have to do that, we'll
(26:53):
have to research because Joe Rogan does a lot of, he's very
into that and does a lot of footage on Area 51 and there's a
lot of creepy stuff in Roswell, NM.
Speaking of Joe Rogan, listen towhat he has to say about the
Katy Perry space scandal. I'm much better now that the
ladies are back from space. What were they up there?
10 minutes. It was very profound.
What were her? Findings the Daisy that's like
(27:14):
snipped from its life source. Look at her nails.
So pretty. A lot of men, astronauts, they
have to go to school, learn how to be a pilot first who joined
the Air Force for the Navy, and then they get appointed by NASA.
Then they go to space. Do you think Katy Perry and her
friends disrespected astronauts and also Megyn Kelly?
Man, how do you feel about MegynKelly?
(27:35):
So, you know, I've gone up and down with Megyn Kelly, you know,
during the Trump phase when, like, they had a real bad, you
know, back and forth. But I respect her as a
journalist. I think she's a very smart lady.
And I usually do agree with her on all of her, like most of her
politics. She's hardcore.
Yeah. She's tough, man.
She's a tough chick. Katy Perry, among others,
receiving major backlash not notfor taking the flight, but for
(27:56):
how they behaved afterward like they actually were Alan Shepard
and Neil Armstrong. And so she's come out to say
she's feeling battered and bruised by the backlash via
Variety, that the Internet is a dumping ground for unhinged and
unhealed people. But she has resolved Dave to
keep looking to the light because she doesn't want to be
(28:19):
further damaged by these unhealed people.
She's right. The Internet is filled with
unhinged lunatics. But when you.
Do this little outer space mission that can happen and and
I'm not going to like, lose muchsleep worrying about Katy
Perry's feelings. But she is right.
It's filled with unhinged lunatics.
It is, but those are not the ones who are attacking her.
(28:39):
I know I'm sure she's getting itall sides and I'm not again,
like, what are you going to? Do to me it's just so it's just
right on brand to go up there and act like you're Alan Shepard
and then when people are like, would you calm down?
You took a vanity flight to outer space thanks to Jeff Bezos
that cost $1,000,000 a seat and stop saying Gayle King.
Have you been Literally No. It costs $1,000,000.
Shut up, Yowser. She really gets down.
(29:02):
She doesn't care. No, now that she's got her own
show she lets the F bombs fly and everything she gets down.
Oh really? Did she have her own podcast
she's got? Her own show, the Megyn Kelly.
Show I'm going to get with the program here.
Yeah, the Megyn Kelly show, she was.
So, you know, she was let go from, I don't know if it was NBC
that she first worked for, and then she worked for Fox and she
left before Tucker Carlson left.And then she decided to do her
like her own thing. And she's doing just fine on
(29:23):
independent social media. She's got lots of followers, so
she's not hurting. At all.
Why do you think people had sucha problem with when Katy Perry
got back to earth on the and shekissed the ground?
OK, so it did you watch it? Kind of, but I I I wonder if it
tasted like cherry chapstick. I.
Was like, that's funny. I I was just like, oh, she got
dirt. She had a dirt in her mouth, but
I think it's just kind of cringythe way she came out with a with
(29:45):
a Daisy and like held it up to me.
It was like very showy, like shewas in concert or something like
that. Like it looked like she was
performing to me the way she came off and then she like it's
down the ground and kisses it and someone's like, go Katie.
It just seemed so lame, So lame and just an opportunity for like
a photo op. That's what it seemed like to
me. OK.
I got a question for you on that.
On that note, do you think that Katy Perry actually meant to
(30:07):
disrespect the astronauts, or doyou think that she's just so
disconnected from typical experiences that she just didn't
get it because she lives in sucha mystical bubble?
Yeah, I think that it's the the latter.
I don't think that she meant to hurt anyone's feelings, but I
think a lot of celebrities are like that.
They don't think about anybody else.
They don't think about anybody but themselves.
And everything that they do is relatable just to them, right?
(30:28):
It's just this bubble of superficiality that they live
in. Do you think that?
So that's what it is, but she's taking all this crap.
I mean, what she should have done, honestly, when that
reporter said, you know that nowyou're an astronaut, she should
have said no, I'm not. And she really loved the part to
where she claimed to be an astronaut.
I've that's all right. That right there.
(30:49):
And she's a big advocate for kindness.
She's a big advocate. For.
Being equal and all that, but where was she?
Being respectful to the astronauts, right?
Because they are. She should have said no, no, in
no way or shape or form and. I have a platform, they are the
elite. Right.
They've done a lot. I mean, these people are
brilliant people and they work really hard to do what they do.
(31:13):
And then to diminish that by youbeing a pop singer, slash, maybe
actress, whatever. You don't have that.
I'm sorry you don't have that same experience.
You're not the same person. You're not the same.
Right, Right, right. Right.
Do you think that her agent did this for publicity?
And since Katy Perry is kind of a dinghy, it didn't dawn on her
that what she was doing was was rude.
I don't know, you know, I think these people just want to be
(31:34):
relevant. And if she did have a PR person,
which I'm sure she does, they should have told her man, like
maybe it's maybe don't do this, you know, I don't know.
Then again, I mean, it's getting, I think maybe any news
is good news. It is getting talked about.
We're talking about it right now.
Maybe in that world, publicity, any kind, whether good or bad,
is, is what it is. Do you think that she was
attacked because she was famous?I think it's easier to attack
(31:54):
someone when they're famous, sure, But also if you look at
the way that this whole thing unfolded, the other people
really aren't famous. I mean, Gayle King is known.
The other people, the other women besides Jeff Bezos, his
girlfriend, they're not widely known and they were all kind of
criticized. They all pay 1000 a million
dollars. I haven't they paid anything.
I just know that a seat to space, it's hard to get a real
(32:15):
estimate because they're all over the place.
But it said it's upwards of $1,000,000.
And at the first seat that Jeff Bezos ever auctioned off went
for 28 million. So it is it's, it's for
millionaires, right? It's from people that have.
Not for a little peon. Right.
Isn't it for people that have a lot and I think maybe they just
don't have anything to do? I'm happy to report that I'm
1000 DARE. 1000 Dare I'm 100 Air.
(32:36):
You're 1000 dare. Yeah, so I don't know.
I think, and I think it is fun to kind of poke fun at
celebrities when they do something stupid.
It's part of our culture, right?Well, they don't hesitate to
open their mouths. No, it's true.
And I think that I don't know ifwe can cover this later, but I
think South Park's going to do an episode on it, which I'm sure
it will be. Oh, they are.
I saw that. I I really OK, so I'm going to
add a little clip on this episode because Katy Perry is
(32:58):
just quoted saying F South Park.So that's a.
That's a good one. People of Earth, since you did
not return the space cash, your species and your planet is
hereby forever blocked off and barred from the rest of the
universe. Katy Perry, I just want to
congratulate you on being the first astronaut to sing in space
for real. Thanks, Jeff.
(33:18):
It was one small step for women,one giant leap for my lifetime's
tour. By the way, it's Captain Perry.
Now, how you feel out here with our audience.
So it's been really, really incredible.
So yeah, Katy Perry is officially panicking.
What was meant to be a 10 minuteluxury Space Flight with Blue
Origin has turned into one of the most mocked events of the
(33:39):
year. And now South Park is getting
ready to roast it harder than they've roasted Disney, Elon, or
even Jeff Bezos. According to insiders, Katie's
been talking to her therapist about the backlash.
She's reportedly having second thoughts about doing the mission
at all, not because of the flight itself.
But because of how ridiculous the Internet made her look
afterward, in one fan comment, Katie responded by saying when
(34:01):
the online world tries to make me a human pinata, I take it
with grace and send them love. But that didn't stop the flood
of memes and mockery. What really set people off was
how the mission was framed. It wasn't a scientific
breakthrough. It was a 10 minute, 0 gravity
ride marketed as an inspiration for women in STEM.
Gayle King even said this mission would inspire women to
(34:22):
become astronauts. This is what pissed me off about
Gayle King, she said. I This is going to inspire women
to be astronauts. Why would you want to do that?
So they could go on the space and be stranded for nine months
like Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore.
Remember that, guys? Think about this.
We just had two astronauts, realastronauts, not these fantastic
cosmonauts. We had freaking two people
stranded for nine months that Biden wasn't going to get
(34:43):
because Elon wanted to help. They left their asses up there
to die. This is getting way more news
than that. But podcasters and Youtubers
weren't buying it. They pointed out that real
astronauts who've died on missions never got this kind of
press. Even worse, the whole thing
looked staged. A clip went viral showing Katie
Perry literally kissing the ground after returning despite
(35:04):
only being in the air for a few minutes.
At this point, Katy Perry's 10 minute space mission is less
about inspiring the next generation and more about being
the punchline of the year. I can't wait to see.
It well, that's exciting. That's a fun, fun thing.
So I don't know how all you listeners feel about it, but
that's how Ash and I feel about it.
But now we're going to go into hair elasticity.
(35:24):
Why does our hair break off? What is hair elasticity?
And how can we keep our hair healthy and springy?
OK, OK, so hair elasticity is when you take your strand of
your hair and you pull it, it should stretch at least.
Yeah. At least, what would you say?
(35:45):
You know, like a third like it should have a bounce to it,
right? Should be able to pull it and
then I'll break. Right, right.
If you are to take a strand of your hair and you pull it and it
snaps right away, well, your hair elasticity.
Left now, and that's right, it would sink, right?
You have that test that we do. So you put one piece of hair in
water to test the porosity or the elasticity.
(36:06):
And if it sinks basically like that's bad.
If it floats, that means it has proper elasticity.
I'm going to go do that right now.
Yeah, I'm half hair, half natural hair, half hair
extension. I think I'm half good and half
bad. I think half my hair does it and
half. That's probably the norm, what
we're going to give you productsthat you can do to help improve,
But the reason why hair elasticity kind of like goes
(36:27):
away is things like heat damage is probably the number.
One sure. That's a huge one, right?
Chemical process. Chemical chemicals.
What about age? Do you think that age has to do
right? Because you're losing collagen,
you're losing elasticity in yourskin, so I would assume that you
lose it in your hair as well. Let's take someone in their 20s,
let's take an average person, man, woman in their 20s and
we're going to we're going to talk about the hair elasticity.
(36:50):
If you do the test and you pull it and say it snaps, normally in
someone in their 20s, you're supposed to have really great
elasticity. But if you have been coloring
your hair for some time, you don't take the time out to use
heat protectants. That is the number one.
I know and people and that's like, and to me it's like one of
the most overlooked things. People will use their mousse and
(37:12):
they will use their Hairspray. And they don't they think why I
ask them. So how are you using the heat
protectant? And well, I I use I use mousse.
That's not the same thing. I use Moroccan oil.
OK well that's good, but that's not a heat protectant.
Exactly. Heat protectants are important
because they protect your hair up to 400.
And 50 and they protect the elasticity and the porosity in
(37:32):
the hair. And they are real.
It's not just fake. We're not just saying that to
you. So to put to make money, this is
real stuff. A great heat protectant I can
recommend is Ken Red Blow dry Spray.
OK, you like that one? I like the the sexy hair, the
450° blowout. Excellent too, right?
Yeah. And also there is a new leave in
conditioner which I have been promoting Matrix insecure.
(37:55):
I know I love it. I love.
It yes their leave in conditioner is a heat
protectant. Right.
So it is double duty. You can find a lot that are dual
purpose, do you know what I mean?
Yes, do more than one thing. Today I had a new client come in
for a haircut. She hasn't had her hair cut in
probably six months. OK, she had all one length hair.
It was probably to her bra strapand it's been colored box,
(38:15):
colored dark, not black, but I'dsay a level 2.
She wanted a new style. She had been driving to
Jacksonville because she's had abest friend in the industry for
years and that's who she has been going to and she's tired of
driving to Jacksonville. She now lives here in Citrus
County, Florida, so I gave her anew style, but I could tell from
the top layer of her hair that she was not using heat
(38:37):
protectants. That underneath was good.
Isn't that funny? You see all that damage on the
very top and then you part the hair in the underneath is so
nice. Because it doesn't see the sun.
Yeah, it doesn't get the the extra brush right.
It doesn't because you see the top.
So you're really going to focus on the top.
The top layer is the one that gets the most damage.
Exactly. So I asked.
I asked her. I said, do you air dry?
(39:00):
I hate. Air dry.
Air dry. I know you hate it.
And she said yes, I said, does your hair air dry frizzy?
She said yes. And I said, do you use a heat
protected? Well, I use Moroccan oil, but do
you use a heat protected? And she was, she obviously has
not been educating that. So I told her, I said, here's
what's happening. You're letting your hair air
(39:21):
dry. You're telling your hair do
whatever you want to do. You're not training it in any
way except for what nature's going to do to it.
Go ahead and frizz out all of that and then you're completely
reliant on your flat iron to get.
So bad every so she lets her hair dry then flat irons it.
That is terrible. You're telling your hair, I know
that you frizz. Go ahead and frizz out because
I'm going to get you later with the flat iron.
(39:43):
So did you find? That you get that out keep
protected it's. Like, OK, so like I know that we
have a system when we're doing hair right, we like to blow it
out and then we will do the heattools after.
But most of my clients, I have an issue like you said, with
elasticity processing. They're they do the same thing.
They go to bed with their hair wet or let it air dry.
And then we'll take a flat iron and try to try to like just, I
mean, manhandle all those waves and all those partings out of
(40:06):
it. And they said, but it's better
than blow drying. And that's actually it's not
better than blow. Drying.
So you're not just letting your get in the shower in the
morning, letting it dry, then hit with a flat iron.
You are going to bed with it wet.
You're sleeping on a pillow, on a pillow, matting it around
right? Letting your letting wave and
go. You know your crack is going to
show. That crack in the back is going
to show. So anyone listening now, does it
(40:28):
not make sense? Are light bulbs not going off?
Because if you were to take the time out to blow dry your hair
out with the heat protectant first, because blow dryers also
'cause they you need to be protected from blow dryers.
They get hot. Yeah, blow it out and then use a
flat iron. You're you're relying less.
So much less on that flat iron which is so detrimental to the
(40:48):
hair. I mean, flat iron is really like
probably the most abusive tool we have in our arsenal, I would
say. Is that flat iron?
I've seen it make curly hair straight like for for a while,
like where they can't get the curls back for some time.
Oh yeah, it it almost damages and it does.
It dams. Sometimes you use the flat iron
so much that it damages the hairbefore it even comes out of the
scalp. Right.
It's like it's it's been alteredand I think it must, I don't
(41:11):
know the science behind it, but it must alter those those bonds,
right? Sulfur bonds, hydrogen bonds,
and maybe it alters those bonds and it takes a lot of time to
get those back. I don't know how that works, but
it has to do something. So I hope everyone's listening.
This is Ash and I telling you heat protectants.
We are going to recommend Kinra blow dry spray which if you
don't know it, you need to. Yeah, it's great stuff.
(41:33):
It smells. Everybody loves it does not
weigh your hair down, it's consistent.
It's easy to use. It's a mist.
It's very, very simple. It's it's, it's great.
It's a great. Product ash you like?
The I like the 450° blowout because they have a whole line.
They have a line that's just thethe spray with no style hold to
it whatsoever, but then they also have a mousse, a gel that
(41:53):
that has that. Product.
Where can you find this product?So I think that Ulta does carry
sexy hair, big sexy hair, and I know that you can always get it
for people too. Always message us, say we want
some. Can you get it for us?
Yes, we can get that for you. I can get for any of my.
Clients, there's great products.I mean, Big Sexy makes one of my
most favorite products that I'venever found another like
(42:14):
substitution for and it's calledweatherproof.
It is a. Spray.
I know that one. That's a good one.
So it's a spray that you put on it.
It's not a Hairspray, but it literally protects the hair from
any moisture, whether it's humidity or rain.
And it really works like the, the water just beads off of the
hair. It's really a cool product.
And I know that I went to do some hair for a wedding some
time ago and the makeup artist was using it on their faces.
(42:36):
She was spraying their faces with it.
Oh. My gosh, I love makeup.
And cool. Makeup artist, they they need to
be recognized. They do.
There's quite an art, there's quite an art to the what they
do. OK, so there's here's the bottom
line. Next episode Ashlyn are going to
tackle K18, which is a whole nother area.
We're going to talk about peptides and how peptides are
very important to your hair, howit can change everything.
(43:00):
Why didn't you see? It change your hair?
I saw it change mine when I was.Using it absolutely, but also it
could also backfire so. Incorrectly used, yes.
You could so you got it. You got to use it right and that
would be the next episode recap he protected.
We are encouraging blowing, blowdrying your hair, not air drying
your hair, and not going to bed with wet hair and then relying
(43:21):
on a hot tool to take care of everything and magically
transform everything the next day.
Oh, by the way, without frying your hair, Not going to happen.
Folks. So thank you as we had, so

Look for us on Instagram. I'm getting my crap together for
(44:09):
TikTok. OK, getting it together.
And then of course, the Facebookso and we're going to end this
episode with a Spacey song that Ashley requested with Mr. Elton
John. Take it away, Elton.
Earlier in the week I was asked to be a guest on the podcast The
Brad Garrett Effect. We recorded and it was
successful. It was aired this past Thursday
and I encourage you to go on andlisten.
The topics were trade schools and colleges and when they
collide we talk about tuition prices versus trade school
(00:20):
prices. We also go into detail to talk
about how some media and how movies didn't age very well.
Of course, we get sidetracked onto other things.
I think overall it's an excellent episode.
You can find this podcast on TheBrad Garrett Effect on TikTok.
You can go on all listening platforms to find the podcast
The Brad Garrett Effect, Instagram, Facebook, TuneIn, and
(00:45):
I hope you enjoy. That song is so scary.
Let's come down to earth, shall we?
Let's come down to earth. Welcome back to cut and loose
chronicles. I am your host Jess, and joined
with me is. Ashley Robbins, buddy back.
(01:07):
Thank you so much. I got my voice back today so.
Excited. It actually sounds really good.
Good, because yesterday when yousent me the video.
Wasn't it so bad? It was really bad.
It was so bad. I know.
So what we're going to do is we're going to go over, well, I
have, I have a few announcementsto make actually, but we're
going to do a recap of the show thus far.
(01:28):
So we are this is like going to be our 9th episode.
Alright, that's exciting. Season 1, ninth episode, but
we're going to do a recap. So we started out in the
beginning with motion for an extension.
Yeah, I love that that was. Great.
So we were getting our feet wet is what we were doing.
We knew we wanted to do a podcast and we knew we wanted to
(01:48):
be about hair. So Ash and I, many years in the
in the field, we just jumped right in.
And I guess my passions, hair extensions, of course, we do all
kinds of things and Ash loves hair extensions.
I do. So that's what we chose to do.
Then we went into some of the court cases with Judge Judy,
which I actually enjoy doing. Yeah, I.
(02:08):
Like that too? Well, you know I love court TV.
You know that I love Court TV. And you know, Judge Judy's a bad
ass, but there's so many about hair.
It was kind of it. Was actually kind of surprising
to me that there was so many about hair dreadlocks, haircuts,
hair extensions, like so many different realms in the hair
world. It was pretty surprising to me.
(02:28):
And a lot of times I noticed that Judge Judy, she kind of
protected the hairdresser. I noticed that most times I
think she ruled in favor of the hairdresser.
Yeah. And we both know that, you know,
it can go either way, but so we,we tested the waters on that,
which we'll probably continue todo throughout the time.
Then Brittany Hill came on the show and we did an episode about
(02:49):
hair schools, hair schools, how much it cost for I went 95
versus her, the, the big hair academies.
And we did an episode on that. Plus we did some advice on how
to handle people who are not happy.
Right. You did like and then you did
like booking the way that me andyou book versus the way that
like the new age. Right.
Stylist Book. Exactly.
(03:11):
Which is a great episode. Yeah, I like that.
I went into Ashley's summer haircare, which we're going to
continue to do that where Ash comes on and she gives her
recommendations on how you take care of your hair during the
summer and all of the heat with the swimming pools.
Beach boat, all of it, Yeah. Everything.
And of course, summer's not hereyet.
(03:31):
We're still in spring. Not rush it.
I love spring. Me too.
Hate summer. I hate.
You too, I hate summer. But it's coming, and we all know
how that goes down. And then we went into another
episode to where Ash and I, we touched base on, Oh no, you know
what, We're forgetting Marsha. Marsha came on where she had
(03:52):
confessed to be addicted to bleach.
She's a blonde. Rexic, a blonde Rexic.
That's amazing. That's great.
So and then we had Brittany comeon again.
But then we did, which is my favorite episode which you all
have not listened to yet. If you haven't Shagalicious.
Shagalicious. To where Ash and I talk about
(04:12):
hair from the 1960s. I love that throughout the
decades to to current day and how hair has not changed very
much how it has, but it hasn't. Evolved, but not really right?
Yeah, Yeah. Kind of like fashion, I would
say. And I feel like as we've been
moving on into that's episode 8,that we are evolving, our show
(04:33):
is changing a little bit. We're getting feedback, we're
finding our place into what our show should be.
I have decided, which is a big decision, to still call it Cut
and Loose Chronicles because it it bases off of Cut and Loose
Salon. And oh, you all hear that siren
because we have the windows open.
I'm trying to air out the smell of English Bulldogs in my house.
(04:55):
So I decided instead of calling it Cut Loose Chronicles Memoirs
of a Hair Stylist, which we justaired, I just aired the first
memoir, A salon story called TheDead Perm.
I loved it. I thought it was.
Great. And just to clear it up
everybody, that was a 100% authentic story.
That really happened. I mean we changed the names
(05:15):
right to protect the innocent. So I guess 98% authentic?
She may be dead by now. We've not.
It's true. If anyone listened, you need to
listen. We're going to continue every
month to have a different salon story.
Should we have got a ton of stories that actually could
probably write a book on? And Ashley herself is going to
be telling one herself. I'm going to tell one.
I've decided to drop Memoirs of a Hair Stylist off of Cut and
(05:38):
Loose Chronicles and just call it Cut and Loose Chronic.
I like it, It's simple. We're going to talk about a lot
of things. We're always going to talk about
hair, but not everybody out there wants to hear about hair
all the time. But what I do know every
everybody wants to hear is us talking.
That's right. Because we are so exciting.
We are so funny. We are so funny.
We have so much to say. So our promise to you is to
(06:00):
bring you joy, humor, and all of.
That, yeah. And laughter, right?
Plus hair advice, hair tips. Yeah, hair stories.
And maybe we can, like I said, like even what we're going to
talk about today, you'll see. We'll put in our little hair,
$0.02 into most of what we do, Ifeel like.
Exactly. Today's episode we are going to
call tension Attention from Outer space.
Why you ask? Good one, it's because we're
(06:24):
going to talk about hair elasticity, how to improve your
hair elasticity, why your hair elasticity has taken a crap, and
how to bring it on back. We're also going to talk about
some of the stories in today's news, like Katy Perry in
Entering Space. Yeah, I want to talk about all
the ladies that entered space inthat historic 11 minute flight.
(06:47):
But before we get any more into this, I want to go back and go
back to Shaggalicious to where Imade a Boo Boo.
It was brought to my attention multiple times that I said that
Liza Minnelli's mother was JulieAndrews.
I'm so stupid. Stupid stupid, stupid, stupid,
stupid. Her mother is Julie Judy.
(07:08):
Judy Garland. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
None other than the. Judy Garland, Yes, so there.
OK, so there's my my big apologies.
I'm not perfect. They're a news flash.
It was. It was Somewhere over the
Rainbow, not The Sound of Music,right?
Exactly, Ashley understands me. Why don't you people?
So I also have another thing I want to introduce.
(07:28):
I am now going to be selling collagen.
It's called collagen 9 and many times the every client. 9 out of
10 clients sit in my chair and they say how can I improve my
hair? Why is my hair not shiny?
Why is my hair balding and thinning?
What can I do to get my hair back from all kinds of things?
(07:49):
And you know what's funny, normally, I mean, me and you, we
would recommend a ton of hair products, but a lot of times the
problems that are going on with your hair are systemic and
they're inside the body. And so you got to treat the
inside of the body too, so that it can come out on the outside.
And I know collagen is great forthat.
So I'm interested in this. I didn't hear about this.
So a lot of the times I always say, I always say because that's
the answer collagen and, and collagen is biotin and you can
(08:10):
mix it in anything you want to mix it in coffee, your tea, your
smoothie, whatever you want to do.
And I always say, Oh yeah, just get it off of Amazon or, and I
just recommend whatever, just a free flow.
Just go out there and just pick a pick a college.
And they're not all the same. They're not, no.
So I have found a very reputable1 and it's called Collagen 9.
(08:30):
So get with me, get with Ashley,She can get you all the
information. e-mail me at cutandloosechronicles@gmail.com.
Also, I'm promoting gut health. I'm I'm promoting joint health.
If anybody's got any inflammating inflammation in
their joints. These are all really important
things. They're really important things
for overall health and Wellness.So I'm right on top of it.
(08:53):
I'm, I'm excited to announce that I also have something else
that I'm excited to. I've not told Ashley about it
yet. It's very exciting.
I I can't wait to tell everybodyI am from a podcast also called
Joint Laughter. That's right.
I've been with Joint Laughter for two years with Leslie Bush
(09:14):
and we have done well over 150 episodes.
Pretty amazing. That's great.
Thank you. And one of the episodes that we
did is called the Compassionate Criminal with Kenneth Speedy
Rawlerson, better known as Speedy Rawlerson, who robbed a
bank in Live Oak in the 90s. He also went on to hide from the
(09:38):
FBI in the golf Hammock Inglis Florida golf hammock for nine
years. How did he do that for 9 years?
I mean, I know it's just incredible story.
So he's on the television show. I almost got away with it.
He is on it. Yes, I am going to put the link
in this episode on how to watch.I almost his his episode if I
almost got away with it. He was also on America's Most
(10:00):
most wanted. He was also on The Deadliest
Catch. So I act like this guy is this
guy is completely he's a great guy.
He really is. And one of the reasons he was
able to hide out in the golf hammock is because the locals of
Inglis, Florida helped him. Helped him hide, didn't they?
Yes. Did he break the law?
(10:22):
Yeah, he did, definitely. He robbed a bank.
But it doesn't mean he's a terrible person.
Some people are desperate. Person He did his time.
Yeah, he did his time. So where I'm going with this is
there is a show on HBO called The Florida Man.
Oh yeah. OK.
And it had one season. It has now been approved for a
second season, but just recentlyapproved for a second season 1
(10:44):
of the 8. The producers from HBO reached
out to Joint Laughter Podcast and they saw Speedy Rawlerson on
our show and they thought he'd be wonderful for Season 2
episode of the episodes of The Florida Man and asked if we
would help. Like get in touch with.
Him, yes, because Speedy kind oflives off the spot.
(11:05):
Off the radar. He's off the radar completely.
And what of course we're like, absolutely.
Long story short, we are going to be on The Florida Man.
Good for you, that's so exciting.
I'm not sure you guys are super excited about that Over the
moon, I bet. Man 987654321.
(11:32):
Over the moon. Is really, which ties in with
our episode. Today I love it.
So clever. So let's go ahead and get into
it and then we'll get into hair elasticity.
OK? Ashley really, really is biting
up the the bit. And biting up the bell.
Blue Origin and Katy Perry's space exploration hit it up.
(11:53):
OK so I don't know if anyone hasa quite as strong as an opinion
as I do, but apparently it is being memed all over the
Internet so I'm not the only onethat feels the way that I feel.
I would like to hear somebody else's maybe opposite take than
I have on it. OK, so basically these six women
go to space fronted by Jeff Bezos's girlfriend, fiance.
(12:14):
Who's Jeff Bezos? Jeff Bezos is the Bezos.
Founder of Amazon, so just a little bit rich, just like I'm
stupid, just like him and Elon Musk.
Who's to fight for like richest person in the world and then
Elon Musk? Will come over, right?
So. Where does where does, what's
his face compare to Musk? Bezos, he's second.
I think he's second. Pesos, pesos.
(12:38):
It's always like first or second.
Now Jeff Bezos is second. But if you look at their like, I
mean, they were, they're competing for even space.
I mean, look, they made rockets and it's pretty crazy.
But apparently Elon Musk has that that sector pretty well
secured. OK, but Jeff Bezos wants to send
regular people to space at $1,000,000 plus a seat.
The first seat he gave up went for $28 million for one seat.
(13:00):
OK. So.
So say they pay $28 million, howfar into space are they getting?
OK, so this is like what? This was the whole kind of
debate about Katy Perry and Gayle King and everybody else
that went on this flight. Or are they really in space?
They did cross. It's called the Harmon line, I
think. So technically you are in space,
but their actual space, the amount of time they were in
(13:20):
space was 4 minutes. So you're not, you're not like
going to space, you're not goingto like the International Space
Station. You're not an extended time and
space there. The whole flight was 11 minutes
so. It's kind of like having a
Tootsie Roll pop and not really getting into the Tootsie Roll.
Yeah, you kind of like take a round.
Yeah, they got gypped 28 million.
You don't even get to the Tootsie Roll.
Exactly. It sounds like bullshit.
(13:42):
So these six women decide to go to space.
Like I said, his girlfriend or fiance, she's leading this whole
mission, right? She had their spacesuits
designer made because she didn'tlike the way spacesuits look.
They're just not pretty. So she has this.
That's the girlfriend of Jeff Bezos.
So she's the one that's, you know, fronting this whole thing.
She's a philanthropist. She's a she was a journalist.
(14:04):
And I think now she writes children's books.
So this whole mission was for women empowerment.
But I don't understand where this came from.
Why women empowerment? Why space?
We've already had women go to space.
We had the Challenger. I mean, there was women on that.
Then we had a solo Space Flight in the 60s from Valentina.
I don't know her last name, I could look it up, but she was a
Russian astronaut. Then we have Sumita Williams.
(14:26):
She's been to space several times.
She went to the International Space Station 3 times.
So it's kind of like, why are wedoing this?
I think it was a quite a stunt actually.
It seemed like quite a publicitystunt for pictures and for like.
I'm still orbiting around the Tootsie Roll, so I I totally get
you. It's a Do you think so?
I thought. It was a stunt.
I feel like it was just a media poll.
I do. Why do these women need that
(14:46):
they. Don't.
That's the point. So they were trying to say like,
it's all for all of us. This is for all women.
But no one I know can afford a space ticket to, you know.
And like you said, there's already been wonderful women who
have gone to space and already stood for that, but I don't
really the woman empowerment. Why is that necessary right now?
I think they made a mockery of it anyway, and it's not
(15:07):
necessary right now. That was a lot of the critique
that they got, was that why now?Why this when there's so many
other pressing issues in the world?
Why? Why flex that muscle?
You know, so you didn't know youcould do it.
And if they were just going to do it, to say that they did it,
I would have no problem with it.You want to go on a space
mission, Katy Perry, you have the money, do it.
But Katy Perry's been a huge proponent of climate change, of
(15:30):
environmental damage. They go up on the space plate,
which causes it, causes a lot ofdamage to our ozone, causes a
lot of greenhouse gas. Now, I'm not a big proponent of
climate change. I'd I stayed on the other side
of the aisle on that one. But if you are that person, why
would you go ahead and be a hypocrite and go to space and
then try to downplay all the things that you said before
because you wanted to go to space?
Excellent point. If I had $1,000,000, I wouldn't
(15:52):
waste it on a quick trip to space.
I'd rent an Airbnb with a bathtub big enough to swim laps
in. I hire someone to follow me
around playing triumphant sexy entrance music whenever I walk
into a room, and pay scientists to finally create a wine that
doesn't give you a hangover. Why float in zero gravity when
you can float in a pool of moneylike Sharon Stone in the movie
(16:14):
Casino? Space might have stars, but my
new designer wardrobe would makeme sparkle brighter than the
Milky Way. And honestly, if I wanted to see
space that badly, I just buy a telescope and use the remaining
$999,500 to fund what really matters.
Wine that refills itself, a private karaoke room with auto
(16:34):
tune that makes me sound like Adele, and enough casino chips
to make a pit boss sweat. Why did they choose Katy Perry
to be? Why was it Katy Perry that was
chosen? I don't know how they got
selected. You know, it was Gayle King,
Katy Perry, Ayesha Bo. She's the only one that was even
qualified. She does work.
She did work for NASA for six years.
(16:55):
And then these two other women that I'm sorry, I don't know who
they are, but none of them, they're just regular people.
They're not like anyone that hasany authority on space.
And then they're calling them astronauts.
And I know that you have a problem with that.
I have a problem with them beingcalled astronauts as well,
because they didn't. They didn't train for that.
(17:19):
I'm calling this Blue Origin mission to space faux feminism.
I've been watching the reaction to the Blue Origins all women's
Space Flight with a growing frustration.
What was presented as a feministmilestone struck me as a little
more than performative empowerment wrapped in glossy
marketing and hair extensions. When I first heard about the
mission, I was initially kind ofexcited about it, but as I dug
(17:40):
deeper I saw the troubling reality and 11 minute joyride
that co-ops feminist language while doing nothing substantive
to address the real barriers women face in aerospace or in
other areas as well. What bothers me most is how the
spectacle overshadows the genuine achievements of women
like Sunita Williams who spent not minutes but actual years
(18:01):
preparing for and executing actual scientific missions in
space. She went to the International
Space Station 3 times. Y'all.
She is a real astronaut. These women didn't just cross an
arbitrary line in the sky. They conducted research,
commanded stations and advanced human knowledge for all of us.
(18:23):
The optics of the Blue Origin flight seemed designed for
Instagram or TikTok, not inspiration.
Watching celebrities and coordinated cute little outfits
like your cute little space outfit, like you're an action
figure celebrate their brief ascent.
I couldn't help thinking about all the women engineers,
scientists, and aspiring astronauts who will never get
that opportunity despite their qualifications.
(18:45):
True feminism would mean addressing the systemic barriers
that keep women underrepresentedin aerospace engineering
programs and at NASA. This flight felt like girl boss
feminism at its worst, not an 11minute flight that cost more
than most women will earn ever in their lifetime.
An astron is a person trained and employed by a space program
(19:07):
to command, pilot, or serve as acrew member of a spacecraft.
Lots of intense training. Right.
So they didn't do any of that. So upon watching Like Megyn
Kelly and some other outlets cover this, I found out that
they trained for two days and most of the training was
learning how to get in and out of the ship and how to put on
their seatbelts. Oh, that's that's difficult,
rigorous. I need 2 two days for that.
(19:29):
Rigorous. Very.
Rigorous. So Katy Perry has taken some
horrific criticism for this. How do you feel about that?
Well, she said she was going to put the ass back in astronaut.
Why has Katy Perry had to assurefans she's OK?
Perry received online backlash recently following her trip to
space. Lift.
(19:52):
Off the hype from her 11 minute all female flight quickly
crashed back down to Earth with social media responding
negatively to claims that the group were astronauts.
I just wanted to honor my fellowastronauts and just.
And her comments about the science of Space Flight didn't
land either. I'm excited to learn more about
(20:12):
STEM and just the math. And I was listening to Cosmos by
Carl Sagan and reading a book onstring theory and Pythagoras.
Pythagoras. Fans were quick to come to the
Stars Aid, with a group sharing messages of support on a
billboard in Times Square. Perry commented on the post
saying that she's OK and that when the online world tries to
(20:33):
make me a human pinata, I take it with grace and send them
love. So, you know, so do you have
these astronauts who were the first people to walk on the
moon? Accomplished.
That's so such an accomplishment.
Two have kids that were just outthere lost and.
Stranded out? Yes, in the space station.
Which one was a woman, by the way?
They're making fun of it, but just if it wasn't.
(20:54):
For astronauts out there, we wouldn't have the technology
that we're doing right now, podcasting, using our phones,
anything we can do. So putting Katy Perry out there,
how do you think that made astronauts feel?
As she says, she's going to the ass back in Ash.
I think it's diminished. I think it's diminished their
accomplishments, whether they'remale or female.
(21:15):
First of all, not wearing the appropriate like space suit,
they would look all cute, which I listen, that's all fine.
But when you say you're doing this for women empowerment, to
me it has like the opposite effect.
It made them look silly. It made them look goofy.
They all had like lots of makeupon, earrings, not even the
proper shoes. Like it was just kind of like
they brought all these little toys up there with them.
It was a very weird, it was a very weird scenario.
Here's the thing. Real empowerment isn't about
(21:38):
spectacle. It's not about a handful of
privileged women doing extraordinary things while
cameras roll. Real empowerment happens in the
quiet moments and daily acts of courage that never make
headlines. Real empowerment is the single
mother who completes her degree at night after putting her kids
to bed. Real empowerment is the woman
who stands up to the workplace harassment even when it might
(21:59):
cost her her promotion. Real empowerment is a community
of women who pull the resources to start a small business in a
neighborhood that desperately needs it.
I'm not here to Pooh Pooh on Katy Perry.
If you really want to promote women empowerment, don't do
things like this. When we reduce women's
empowerment to publicity stunts or token achievements by the
already privileged, we missed the point entirely.
(22:21):
We create a false narrative thatempowerment is rare, distant and
reserved for the exceptional few.
All right, if you really want women empowerment, ladies, just
be yourselves. We don't have to do things like
this. We don't have to prove
ourselves. You got that everyone great.
So let's celebrate the unglamorous everyday forms of
women empowerment. So this kind of like goes along
(22:41):
with this has been something like there's been other
companies such as Virgin Galactic, SpaceX, they offer
civilian space tourism, right, But.
That's what it's called. That's what it should be called.
That's perfect word for it, right?
You're going to space as a tourist, you're going to go to
see what it's like. You're not an astronaut, OK?
David said that if that makes them astronauts, then he's a
(23:02):
gynecologist. David is Ashley's husband, by
the way, and I'm sure he's a he would make a great gynecologist.
So Donald Trump came on, you know, and he announced that
there's going to be where we cango to Mars.
They're going to start building homes on Mars eventually in our
future. I don't know if we'll ever see
that I. Know, but like Gayle King, she
said on her show, and this is another person who's big into
(23:23):
the climate, big into the environment, said that they're
going to start using these missions to put our trash in
space. Why the hell in space?
Yes, they're going to put our trash in space.
Like we're not already ruining our planet enough.
Now we want to put our trash into space.
So now we're going to, we're notgoing to just ruin our planet,
but our whole universe. Yeah, why not?
You know, Oh, I. Didn't even know that you've
done some research. I did.
(23:44):
It really affected me in a way because I just thought this is,
it's silly because these are allrich people already.
To try to compare them to us is one thing on its own.
And then to go to space and say that this is for all of us is
even a further stretch, right? Like it even makes us look so
much further away from from those people.
Did you ever see the movie The the new one?
The new alien movie? Romulus.
(24:05):
Yeah, I loved it. I loved it too.
I loved it. That got bad reviews.
Really, however, it got bad reviews.
Get away from her, you bitch. But you know how?
(24:26):
How did they get chosen to be? There to be there, right?
Isn't it spooky? Yeah.
How did you feel about that movie Alien?
Romulus So I really liked it in a different kind of way.
Like it was so intense, wasn't it?
It was really. It was very intense.
All the all the actual scenes ofthose face suckers.
So intense. So I'm a big fan of Alien and
the. Whole I'm a big fan of Ridley
(24:46):
Scott. Big time.
Me too. Oh my gosh, when that Romulus
one came out, when they were, when at the end, when it got
that scary monster. Half human, that.
Came off another movie. Oh, did you know there was
another movie that was based offof that?
And I don't remember what it was, but of course Dana told me.
Dana, my boyfriend, film critic.That's really, really scared me.
(25:08):
I know we got off of the beaten path here.
But it has to do. With space, it has to do with
space, yes. Isn't it kind of creepy to think
about it that one day there was going to be a human.
Humanity can live on Mars? Yeah, it's.
Really kind of blows my mind. Like it is really weird to me
that we could live on another planet eventually one day,
right? Like that brings so many other
questions in my mind, like wouldwe look different?
Would we start to evolve into like a different?
(25:29):
World How do you feel about aliens?
Do you feel the aliens are real?I feel like aliens could exist.
Why? I mean, to me it's silly to
think that they could not exist,right?
Me too, because even in the Bible there's little path
passages that suggest that therewere alien life form.
How are the the pyramids created?
A lot of it is very, very mysterious to me.
And I, you look at only the Galaxy that we can see that we
(25:50):
know it. It's infinite, right?
So there has to be something else.
I don't know what kind of life form it would be, but if it's on
a different planet, then it's alien, right?
So I definitely believe in that.I me.
Too, And it was they were referred to as the watchers.
So in in the Bible there's there's a little passages that
refer to them as the. Watchers.
I mean, if you read Revelation, it is otherworldly.
It is otherworldly. Bodies look at the human body
(26:11):
toes, fingers, tongues, ears, all of it weird eyes you know
when you when someone draws an alien, they usually draw a big
head, right, big eyes and they have like the.
Skinny. Body.
Exactly. Yeah.
Why is it so when we look at ourbodies, when there's blood and
guts and poop and pee on it, Whyare we not the perfect alien?
(26:33):
Well, you know, I think about another life form seeing us,
they would probably be totally freaked out by the way we look,
right? All the planets out there and
there's not other other life forms out there I.
Don't know to me I I feel like there has to be but.
That's just me. Well, I think, I think the the
government knows. I do I think.
Well, look at, come on, you've seen this stuff about Area 50.
One, we're going to have to do an episode.
Now, so we'll have to do like, we'll have to do that, we'll
(26:53):
have to research because Joe Rogan does a lot of, he's very
into that and does a lot of footage on Area 51 and there's a
lot of creepy stuff in Roswell, NM.
Speaking of Joe Rogan, listen towhat he has to say about the
Katy Perry space scandal. I'm much better now that the
ladies are back from space. What were they up there?
10 minutes. It was very profound.
What were her? Findings the Daisy that's like
(27:14):
snipped from its life source. Look at her nails.
So pretty. A lot of men, astronauts, they
have to go to school, learn how to be a pilot first who joined
the Air Force for the Navy, and then they get appointed by NASA.
Then they go to space. Do you think Katy Perry and her
friends disrespected astronauts and also Megyn Kelly?
Man, how do you feel about MegynKelly?
(27:35):
So, you know, I've gone up and down with Megyn Kelly, you know,
during the Trump phase when, like, they had a real bad, you
know, back and forth. But I respect her as a
journalist. I think she's a very smart lady.
And I usually do agree with her on all of her, like most of her
politics. She's hardcore.
Yeah. She's tough, man.
She's a tough chick. Katy Perry, among others,
receiving major backlash not notfor taking the flight, but for
(27:56):
how they behaved afterward like they actually were Alan Shepard
and Neil Armstrong. And so she's come out to say
she's feeling battered and bruised by the backlash via
Variety, that the Internet is a dumping ground for unhinged and
unhealed people. But she has resolved Dave to
keep looking to the light because she doesn't want to be
(28:19):
further damaged by these unhealed people.
She's right. The Internet is filled with
unhinged lunatics. But when you.
Do this little outer space mission that can happen and and
I'm not going to like, lose muchsleep worrying about Katy
Perry's feelings. But she is right.
It's filled with unhinged lunatics.
It is, but those are not the ones who are attacking her.
(28:39):
I know I'm sure she's getting itall sides and I'm not again,
like, what are you going to? Do to me it's just so it's just
right on brand to go up there and act like you're Alan Shepard
and then when people are like, would you calm down?
You took a vanity flight to outer space thanks to Jeff Bezos
that cost $1,000,000 a seat and stop saying Gayle King.
Have you been Literally No. It costs $1,000,000.
Shut up, Yowser. She really gets down.
(29:02):
She doesn't care. No, now that she's got her own
show she lets the F bombs fly and everything she gets down.
Oh really? Did she have her own podcast
she's got? Her own show, the Megyn Kelly.
Show I'm going to get with the program here.
Yeah, the Megyn Kelly show, she was.
So, you know, she was let go from, I don't know if it was NBC
that she first worked for, and then she worked for Fox and she
left before Tucker Carlson left.And then she decided to do her
like her own thing. And she's doing just fine on
(29:23):
independent social media. She's got lots of followers, so
she's not hurting. At all.
Why do you think people had sucha problem with when Katy Perry
got back to earth on the and shekissed the ground?
OK, so it did you watch it? Kind of, but I I I wonder if it
tasted like cherry chapstick. I.
Was like, that's funny. I I was just like, oh, she got
dirt. She had a dirt in her mouth, but
I think it's just kind of cringythe way she came out with a with
(29:45):
a Daisy and like held it up to me.
It was like very showy, like shewas in concert or something like
that. Like it looked like she was
performing to me the way she came off and then she like it's
down the ground and kisses it and someone's like, go Katie.
It just seemed so lame, So lame and just an opportunity for like
a photo op. That's what it seemed like to
me. OK.
I got a question for you on that.
On that note, do you think that Katy Perry actually meant to
(30:07):
disrespect the astronauts, or doyou think that she's just so
disconnected from typical experiences that she just didn't
get it because she lives in sucha mystical bubble?
Yeah, I think that it's the the latter.
I don't think that she meant to hurt anyone's feelings, but I
think a lot of celebrities are like that.
They don't think about anybody else.
They don't think about anybody but themselves.
And everything that they do is relatable just to them, right?
(30:28):
It's just this bubble of superficiality that they live
in. Do you think that?
So that's what it is, but she's taking all this crap.
I mean, what she should have done, honestly, when that
reporter said, you know that nowyou're an astronaut, she should
have said no, I'm not. And she really loved the part to
where she claimed to be an astronaut.
I've that's all right. That right there.
(30:49):
And she's a big advocate for kindness.
She's a big advocate. For.
Being equal and all that, but where was she?
Being respectful to the astronauts, right?
Because they are. She should have said no, no, in
no way or shape or form and. I have a platform, they are the
elite. Right.
They've done a lot. I mean, these people are
brilliant people and they work really hard to do what they do.
(31:13):
And then to diminish that by youbeing a pop singer, slash, maybe
actress, whatever. You don't have that.
I'm sorry you don't have that same experience.
You're not the same person. You're not the same.
Right, Right, right. Right.
Do you think that her agent did this for publicity?
And since Katy Perry is kind of a dinghy, it didn't dawn on her
that what she was doing was was rude.
I don't know, you know, I think these people just want to be
(31:34):
relevant. And if she did have a PR person,
which I'm sure she does, they should have told her man, like
maybe it's maybe don't do this, you know, I don't know.
Then again, I mean, it's getting, I think maybe any news
is good news. It is getting talked about.
We're talking about it right now.
Maybe in that world, publicity, any kind, whether good or bad,
is, is what it is. Do you think that she was
attacked because she was famous?I think it's easier to attack
(31:54):
someone when they're famous, sure, But also if you look at
the way that this whole thing unfolded, the other people
really aren't famous. I mean, Gayle King is known.
The other people, the other women besides Jeff Bezos, his
girlfriend, they're not widely known and they were all kind of
criticized. They all pay 1000 a million
dollars. I haven't they paid anything.
I just know that a seat to space, it's hard to get a real
(32:15):
estimate because they're all over the place.
But it said it's upwards of $1,000,000.
And at the first seat that Jeff Bezos ever auctioned off went
for 28 million. So it is it's, it's for
millionaires, right? It's from people that have.
Not for a little peon. Right.
Isn't it for people that have a lot and I think maybe they just
don't have anything to do? I'm happy to report that I'm
1000 DARE. 1000 Dare I'm 100 Air.
(32:36):
You're 1000 dare. Yeah, so I don't know.
I think, and I think it is fun to kind of poke fun at
celebrities when they do something stupid.
It's part of our culture, right?Well, they don't hesitate to
open their mouths. No, it's true.
And I think that I don't know ifwe can cover this later, but I
think South Park's going to do an episode on it, which I'm sure
it will be. Oh, they are.
I saw that. I I really OK, so I'm going to
add a little clip on this episode because Katy Perry is
(32:58):
just quoted saying F South Park.So that's a.
That's a good one. People of Earth, since you did
not return the space cash, your species and your planet is
hereby forever blocked off and barred from the rest of the
universe. Katy Perry, I just want to
congratulate you on being the first astronaut to sing in space
for real. Thanks, Jeff.
(33:18):
It was one small step for women,one giant leap for my lifetime's
tour. By the way, it's Captain Perry.
Now, how you feel out here with our audience.
So it's been really, really incredible.
So yeah, Katy Perry is officially panicking.
What was meant to be a 10 minuteluxury Space Flight with Blue
Origin has turned into one of the most mocked events of the
(33:39):
year. And now South Park is getting
ready to roast it harder than they've roasted Disney, Elon, or
even Jeff Bezos. According to insiders, Katie's
been talking to her therapist about the backlash.
She's reportedly having second thoughts about doing the mission
at all, not because of the flight itself.
But because of how ridiculous the Internet made her look
afterward, in one fan comment, Katie responded by saying when
(34:01):
the online world tries to make me a human pinata, I take it
with grace and send them love. But that didn't stop the flood
of memes and mockery. What really set people off was
how the mission was framed. It wasn't a scientific
breakthrough. It was a 10 minute, 0 gravity
ride marketed as an inspiration for women in STEM.
Gayle King even said this mission would inspire women to
(34:22):
become astronauts. This is what pissed me off about
Gayle King, she said. I This is going to inspire women
to be astronauts. Why would you want to do that?
So they could go on the space and be stranded for nine months
like Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore.
Remember that, guys? Think about this.
We just had two astronauts, realastronauts, not these fantastic
cosmonauts. We had freaking two people
stranded for nine months that Biden wasn't going to get
(34:43):
because Elon wanted to help. They left their asses up there
to die. This is getting way more news
than that. But podcasters and Youtubers
weren't buying it. They pointed out that real
astronauts who've died on missions never got this kind of
press. Even worse, the whole thing
looked staged. A clip went viral showing Katie
Perry literally kissing the ground after returning despite
(35:04):
only being in the air for a few minutes.
At this point, Katy Perry's 10 minute space mission is less
about inspiring the next generation and more about being
the punchline of the year. I can't wait to see.
It well, that's exciting. That's a fun, fun thing.
So I don't know how all you listeners feel about it, but
that's how Ash and I feel about it.
But now we're going to go into hair elasticity.
(35:24):
Why does our hair break off? What is hair elasticity?
And how can we keep our hair healthy and springy?
OK, OK, so hair elasticity is when you take your strand of
your hair and you pull it, it should stretch at least.
Yeah. At least, what would you say?
(35:45):
You know, like a third like it should have a bounce to it,
right? Should be able to pull it and
then I'll break. Right, right.
If you are to take a strand of your hair and you pull it and it
snaps right away, well, your hair elasticity.
Left now, and that's right, it would sink, right?
You have that test that we do. So you put one piece of hair in
water to test the porosity or the elasticity.
(36:06):
And if it sinks basically like that's bad.
If it floats, that means it has proper elasticity.
I'm going to go do that right now.
Yeah, I'm half hair, half natural hair, half hair
extension. I think I'm half good and half
bad. I think half my hair does it and
half. That's probably the norm, what
we're going to give you productsthat you can do to help improve,
But the reason why hair elasticity kind of like goes
(36:27):
away is things like heat damage is probably the number.
One sure. That's a huge one, right?
Chemical process. Chemical chemicals.
What about age? Do you think that age has to do
right? Because you're losing collagen,
you're losing elasticity in yourskin, so I would assume that you
lose it in your hair as well. Let's take someone in their 20s,
let's take an average person, man, woman in their 20s and
we're going to we're going to talk about the hair elasticity.
(36:50):
If you do the test and you pull it and say it snaps, normally in
someone in their 20s, you're supposed to have really great
elasticity. But if you have been coloring
your hair for some time, you don't take the time out to use
heat protectants. That is the number one.
I know and people and that's like, and to me it's like one of
the most overlooked things. People will use their mousse and
(37:12):
they will use their Hairspray. And they don't they think why I
ask them. So how are you using the heat
protectant? And well, I I use I use mousse.
That's not the same thing. I use Moroccan oil.
OK well that's good, but that's not a heat protectant.
Exactly. Heat protectants are important
because they protect your hair up to 400.
And 50 and they protect the elasticity and the porosity in
(37:32):
the hair. And they are real.
It's not just fake. We're not just saying that to
you. So to put to make money, this is
real stuff. A great heat protectant I can
recommend is Ken Red Blow dry Spray.
OK, you like that one? I like the the sexy hair, the
450° blowout. Excellent too, right?
Yeah. And also there is a new leave in
conditioner which I have been promoting Matrix insecure.
(37:55):
I know I love it. I love.
It yes their leave in conditioner is a heat
protectant. Right.
So it is double duty. You can find a lot that are dual
purpose, do you know what I mean?
Yes, do more than one thing. Today I had a new client come in
for a haircut. She hasn't had her hair cut in
probably six months. OK, she had all one length hair.
It was probably to her bra strapand it's been colored box,
(38:15):
colored dark, not black, but I'dsay a level 2.
She wanted a new style. She had been driving to
Jacksonville because she's had abest friend in the industry for
years and that's who she has been going to and she's tired of
driving to Jacksonville. She now lives here in Citrus
County, Florida, so I gave her anew style, but I could tell from
the top layer of her hair that she was not using heat
(38:37):
protectants. That underneath was good.
Isn't that funny? You see all that damage on the
very top and then you part the hair in the underneath is so
nice. Because it doesn't see the sun.
Yeah, it doesn't get the the extra brush right.
It doesn't because you see the top.
So you're really going to focus on the top.
The top layer is the one that gets the most damage.
Exactly. So I asked.
I asked her. I said, do you air dry?
(39:00):
I hate. Air dry.
Air dry. I know you hate it.
And she said yes, I said, does your hair air dry frizzy?
She said yes. And I said, do you use a heat
protected? Well, I use Moroccan oil, but do
you use a heat protected? And she was, she obviously has
not been educating that. So I told her, I said, here's
what's happening. You're letting your hair air
(39:21):
dry. You're telling your hair do
whatever you want to do. You're not training it in any
way except for what nature's going to do to it.
Go ahead and frizz out all of that and then you're completely
reliant on your flat iron to get.
So bad every so she lets her hair dry then flat irons it.
That is terrible. You're telling your hair, I know
that you frizz. Go ahead and frizz out because
I'm going to get you later with the flat iron.
(39:43):
So did you find? That you get that out keep
protected it's. Like, OK, so like I know that we
have a system when we're doing hair right, we like to blow it
out and then we will do the heattools after.
But most of my clients, I have an issue like you said, with
elasticity processing. They're they do the same thing.
They go to bed with their hair wet or let it air dry.
And then we'll take a flat iron and try to try to like just, I
mean, manhandle all those waves and all those partings out of
(40:06):
it. And they said, but it's better
than blow drying. And that's actually it's not
better than blow. Drying.
So you're not just letting your get in the shower in the
morning, letting it dry, then hit with a flat iron.
You are going to bed with it wet.
You're sleeping on a pillow, on a pillow, matting it around
right? Letting your letting wave and
go. You know your crack is going to
show. That crack in the back is going
to show. So anyone listening now, does it
(40:28):
not make sense? Are light bulbs not going off?
Because if you were to take the time out to blow dry your hair
out with the heat protectant first, because blow dryers also
'cause they you need to be protected from blow dryers.
They get hot. Yeah, blow it out and then use a
flat iron. You're you're relying less.
So much less on that flat iron which is so detrimental to the
(40:48):
hair. I mean, flat iron is really like
probably the most abusive tool we have in our arsenal, I would
say. Is that flat iron?
I've seen it make curly hair straight like for for a while,
like where they can't get the curls back for some time.
Oh yeah, it it almost damages and it does.
It dams. Sometimes you use the flat iron
so much that it damages the hairbefore it even comes out of the
scalp. Right.
It's like it's it's been alteredand I think it must, I don't
(41:11):
know the science behind it, but it must alter those those bonds,
right? Sulfur bonds, hydrogen bonds,
and maybe it alters those bonds and it takes a lot of time to
get those back. I don't know how that works, but
it has to do something. So I hope everyone's listening.
This is Ash and I telling you heat protectants.
We are going to recommend Kinra blow dry spray which if you
don't know it, you need to. Yeah, it's great stuff.
(41:33):
It smells. Everybody loves it does not
weigh your hair down, it's consistent.
It's easy to use. It's a mist.
It's very, very simple. It's it's, it's great.
It's a great. Product ash you like?
The I like the 450° blowout because they have a whole line.
They have a line that's just thethe spray with no style hold to
it whatsoever, but then they also have a mousse, a gel that
(41:53):
that has that. Product.
Where can you find this product?So I think that Ulta does carry
sexy hair, big sexy hair, and I know that you can always get it
for people too. Always message us, say we want
some. Can you get it for us?
Yes, we can get that for you. I can get for any of my.
Clients, there's great products.I mean, Big Sexy makes one of my
most favorite products that I'venever found another like
(42:14):
substitution for and it's calledweatherproof.
It is a. Spray.
I know that one. That's a good one.
So it's a spray that you put on it.
It's not a Hairspray, but it literally protects the hair from
any moisture, whether it's humidity or rain.
And it really works like the, the water just beads off of the
hair. It's really a cool product.
And I know that I went to do some hair for a wedding some
time ago and the makeup artist was using it on their faces.
(42:36):
She was spraying their faces with it.
Oh. My gosh, I love makeup.
And cool. Makeup artist, they they need to
be recognized. They do.
There's quite an art, there's quite an art to the what they
do. OK, so there's here's the bottom
line. Next episode Ashlyn are going to
tackle K18, which is a whole nother area.
We're going to talk about peptides and how peptides are
very important to your hair, howit can change everything.
(43:00):
Why didn't you see? It change your hair?
I saw it change mine when I was.Using it absolutely, but also it
could also backfire so. Incorrectly used, yes.
You could so you got it. You got to use it right and that
would be the next episode recap he protected.
We are encouraging blowing, blowdrying your hair, not air drying
your hair, and not going to bed with wet hair and then relying
(43:21):
on a hot tool to take care of everything and magically
transform everything the next day.
Oh, by the way, without frying your hair, Not going to happen.
