Amy hosted an event the other night with Kelsea Ballerini and Kelsie mentioned this quote: “People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.” Amy shared it as the quote for this episode and the main idea behind “reason, season, lifetime” is that all relationships, regardless of their length, have some sort of purpose. Kelsea also has a song about ride or die friendships “If You Go Down (I’m Going Down Too)” so Amy & Kat discussed what they would be willing to do for each other…“Goodbye Earl” style???
ALSO DISCUSSED:
- Amy’s story about a worker at her house that made a murder joke (which led to a note from a listener that works at ADT reminding us you can make temp codes for workers!)
- List of smart tips for living alone, but honestly they are good tips for families to implement too! Example: “Say hello + goodbye out loud when arriving or leaving your house as if you’re talking to a real person. That way people don’t assume you live alone.”
- Email from Tiffany about how we don’t have to allow other people’s perceptions of things to rule our lives.
- Email From Heather about Amy’s psychic cousin’s new podcast: Soul Sessions with Amanda Reiger Green
- Amy told Kat about the ‘Let Them Theory’ that was discussed on last week’s 4 things episode

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Happy Tuesday, Welcome to the Fifth Thing. I'm Amy and
I'm Kat, and our quote for today is people come
into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I think it's a full poem. Poem. Shut up, Kat.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I know she's about to make fun of how I
say that word. But I was hosting an event the
other night for Kelsey Ballerini and we did a little
Q and A session she performed as well. When we
sat down, we were talking about her album Rolling Out
the Welcome Matt, and I asked her, if I were
to describe that album in one word, I would say therapeutic.
(00:41):
And you know, she included the short film with it,
all the things, and I don't know if it's an
EP or whatever you want to call it, but.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
She said, yes, it was therapeutic.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
But if I had to describe it in one word,
I would say necessary.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Ooh. And I was like, dang, okay, that's good.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I feel like for anybody, I mean, think of what
you need to do for yourself that, yes, may be therapeutic,
but necessary. And I mean I can think of some
things that where I'm like, okay, wow, I'm going to
start defining it as that because I think I've said, well, okay,
that just had to happen. But I like that word necessary.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
What makes it feel less like therapeutic. Obviously I like
that words. I like therapy, but it feels like almost
like an extra thing that was helpful versus this literally
had to happen and it was my right to do it.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I mean, like I wasn't. I'm not going to be living.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
There's no other choice.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
My life too, its fullest or who I want to be.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Unless I do this, I'm not going to be going
in the direction I want to go in. And she
has a song called if You Go Down, I'm going
down too, and it's like you writer die friends, you know,
were you goodbye?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Or old Dixie Chicks fan?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Which always felt weird singing about, you know, getting rid
of somebody, But.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Did you know that that's really what that was? I
feel like when I was singing that song, I didn't
really understand that I was singing about like murdering.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Marian and Wanda were the best of friends all.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I mean, the story is told.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I know, but like I don't think I paid attention
then later in life, I'm like we were singing about
domestic abuse and murdering somebody like in the hallways of
sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, it is weird to think about.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, and I think that Kelsey song is in the
same vein. And so we were talking about friendships and
that's when the quote came up, and she said, well,
I've been in a lot of therapy and I've just
learned that some people in your life they're there for
a reason. Some of them are there for a season,
and then others are there for a lifetime. And it's
the lifetimers that are the the.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Virals all go down with you too.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And I'm ninety nine percent sure that you know I'd
be there for you if we needed to, you know,
get rid of Big Pee for whatever reason. You'd have
to be horrible. Yeah, because he's not. He's an amazing person.
So I don't even like this hypothetical. But also back
to the friendship thing real quick. That statement alone. Every
(03:08):
relationship has its purpose, Like you can sometimes think like, oh,
what happened to that relationship and why was it just
like poof, you're poof gone or whatever, And every relationship
has meaning if you look for it.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
What did this relationship make possible for me? That what word.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So anyway, big P I feel like if you needed
me to help you with something, I would. However, I
know when the police came to my door, i'd freak out.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Would you lie? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I don't know what I would do.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I'm trying to figure that out in my head right now,
but I know that I would be freaking out.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
And I also know that I don't want us.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
To go to jail, and so I feel that as
your friend, I would suggest we do something different to him,
like I'll hold him down and then we can brand
his forehead.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I was thinking, like you hold him down to like
tickle his feet or something, some wholesome torture. I don't
think I want a brand. I don't think I could
do it. But what would we brand him? With a
liar on his forehead? Stay away from me, I'm a
loser or something like that, okay, or you could be
my ride or die in the sense of help me escape.
(04:24):
But we don't have to do anything to him, true, unless,
like I don't know. Sometimes it's like I understand that
desire because you're afraid, like they'll find you no matter what.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, Like we're obviously, and I don't want to make
light of a serious situation for people, So that's kind
of off the table. It's just like thinking of your friend, like,
who is a friend that does that for you?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
And you would do that for them or your group
of friends.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And but wait a second, you know, we would still
go to jail if we branded his forehead.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, that's probably illegal too, but hey, not to cleep,
I mean, but probably not for life.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yeah, and maybe we could go to the same one.
I mean some of the some of the jails are
pretty nice, and I'm pretty nice. The one that the
Chris Lies are at, and I think they play golf
there or something. There's where Martha Stewart went.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
There's tennis. You don't have to deal with other things
in life. It's a little getaway, which I know. Jail
is no joke either. We actually have had a listener
call into the show twice in the last year or two.
She called in, most recently because we were talking about
Elizabeth Holmes because she went to jail by the show,
(05:26):
I mean, the Bobby Bone Show. And she's someone that
went into jail for a white collar crime that she
feels as though she was not guilty for. And that's
her claim that she was wrongly accused. She was a
pharmacist and she got like wrapped up in some prescription
pill situation and they were looking for, I guess, a scapegoat,
(05:47):
and it ended up going on her and she went
to where Elizabeth Holmes is, a women's minimum security prison
that's in Brian College Station area in Texas, and she
said she doesn't wish.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That upon anybody.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So even though it's minimum, not great, still not great
at all, and nobody wants to get locked up. But
isn't it still crazy to think about how that Martha
Stewart went to jail.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, but in my head she didn't go to real
jail I guess.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Right, or that she did something bad like that and
then got in trouble.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, it's for a long time. And now she's back
on the cover of Sports Illustrated. So at like what
eighty eighty something crazy goals could be us? Could be us?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Or probably not?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
On a related note to murder, did I ever tell
you the story of the worker that was at my
house and I had to give him my garage code
temporarily because nobody was going to be here and he
needed to get in, and I trusted him, so when
I had made the decision to give him the code,
and then I knew I could change the code after
he said, it's not like I'm going to come in
and murder you or something like. And I thought, that's
(06:54):
just not a joke to make, right now.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Do you mind saying what kind of worker? Was it?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Like?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Somebody of work being done here?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You know him well, but I know people that know him,
So that's why I really trusted him.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
There's times to make that joke, and then there's times
that like, are you making that joke because you might
actually do it? And you want to cover yourself up.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Right, and you're trying to make me think that you
would never do that.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
So what did you say?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I just was like, huh, I don't know. I didn't
I was like just awkward, awkward. Well, it's top of
mind for me now. Because a listener of the Bobby
Bone Show is that's where I originally told that story.
She works for ADT and she said, Hey, Amy, I
heard you talking about your code that you gave a worker.
I work at ADT. Do you have the ADT control app?
(07:39):
If so, you can make temporary codes to give to
people when they need to come by, and you can
choose to turn them on or off and also delete
it all from the app.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
So I thought that was so helpful. I had no
idea you could do that.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So we have at my work office, we have an
alarm system, and we have different codes for every single
person that works there. Nobody knows anybody else's code. When
they leave, that code's deleted. If we need to have
somebody come in, like the landlord or something, I can
give them a temporary code. And this is the best part.
There's a code they give you that if somebody, like
(08:13):
we have a parking lot in the back of our
like and it gets dark and scary kind of at night,
if somebody is like hiding there and ready to, like
I don't know, jump you and wants to like make
you go back in there, turn the alarm off and
like steal stuff. Fy, there's literally nothing to steal in our.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
But yet your office has been broken into multiple times.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
But what people stole when that one time and we
got this system after that, they stole all of our
toilet paper, all of our paper towels, all of our
hand sanitizer, all of our trash bags, and my jean
jacket from American Eagle. So that's what there is to
steal in there. Oh and my podcast equipment, but it
doesn't live there anymore any Whosy. There's this code that
you can program where if they're like turn it off,
(08:51):
you press the code and it turns the alarm off
and it looks like you just turn the alarm off.
It also calls nine to one one oh, but it
doesn't nobody knows that. So if you're scared, it will
call em on one and you can sit there knowing
that nine one one is on the way and they
don't do the normal thing where they call you first,
They just come. If you plug that code in, that's awesome.
Make sure if you have a larned system. I feel
(09:11):
like a lot of people have that now.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And I do feel like last Tuesday, because some of
your friends that we were hanging out with at Big
PE's birthday party, they did not know about the emergency
contact thing that we were talking about on last Tuesday's
very informative episode. That shit thing is you know, gonna
save your life basically, and your friends were like, WHOA,
this is so helpful, And then y'all have been friends
(09:34):
for a very long time your group and everyone was deciding, wait, shoot,
who do I want to make my emergency contact? Because
I don't really trust that you're going to show up
or you're going to show up. But this is y'all
have like a designated person that you know is.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Gonna everybody said the same person, Yeah, check on you.
It also all said not me, That's okay, I have
other qualities.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I mean, but I bet if you go down, they'd
go down to one hundred. Yeah, for sure, they'd brand it.
I also came across an article that was sharing smart
tips for if you're living alone or maybe if you
have a spouse that travels or significant other a lot
and you end up being in the home alone or
in the house alone a lot. And I think that
(10:17):
the tips are also good for families. I also came
across an article that was sharing smart tips for if
you're living alone or maybe if you have a spouse
(10:37):
that travels or significant other a lot and you end
up being in the home alone or in the house
alone a lot. And I think that the tips are
also good for families. So I'm going to run through
some of them and see if we need to implement
them at our place. So the first one is, you know,
if you can afford it and care for it, get
a dog who's going to bark loudly if someone is
at the door.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Check you got that.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
My dog barks so much.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Although did you notice she wasn't barking when she came
to the door except for hello, hold on?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
This has been called said the dog? The dog's it bins,
you know, fifty to fifty custody? Hold please?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Hello, Hey, Oh I'm recording a podcast right now. Can
I call you right back? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
By see amicable.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So that's why that's why Kara didn't bark when you
got heard.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Were you curious?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I thought maybe she usually when I knock on the door,
she runs to the door, So I was like, oh no,
but cool. So you're splitting half and half.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, well, yes, Stevenson loves to sleep with her and
that's where he is right now. Stashira, was it camp?
But you also noticed that I have no furniture really
kind of. My living room is bare. There's no couch
and I have no washer and dryer. Working on that,
we'll start to build things back up. It's just like
we had movers at one point, so kind of everything
(11:55):
we had already divided up. Okay, this is how we're
going to do this. This is how we're going to do that. Anyway,
get a dog. I guess I'm a cat. The cat's here,
she's she's not scaring anyone off. Say hello and goodbye
out loud when arriving or leaving your house, as if
you're talking to a real person. That way, people around
don't assume you're alone. If someone's stalking you. Oh okay,
(12:19):
because people you know, what's that called case.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Your house, Like they drive by and they study they yes,
and so.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
If you're like, bye, see you later.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I hope you have a good workout, lift off heavy weights,
and don't forget to clean your gun.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You know, so you okay, you know you're not alone?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Use your first initial rather than your whole name on
your mailbox or your mail or especially if you have
a mailbox at an apartment place like so that way
they don't know too much about you. Go to the
thrift store and buy an old pair of worn men's
boots and leave them outside the front door.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
That's like, create my man is here and he wears
big boots, big big huge.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
If listening to music while on a walk or a jog,
only use one ear piece so that you can hear
someone approaching.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I do that smart, but I do that for when
I used to run, I would run near like busier streets,
and I always wanted to make sure I could hear
a car or something.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah. Also, one of my headphones is broken, so I
don't really have an option anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
There's that too.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Sprinkle baby powder on the floor of your entire entrance
before you leave, so if someone enters there's a footprint
captured on the floor.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I like they won't do that.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Well, it feels like very Home Alone is the movie.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Another one here is have lamps that you leave on
twenty four to seven?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Do you do that?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I do that. There's one downstairs. Okay, and wait, I
wonder if this is on there. But are you supposed
to leave your porch light on or off?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
It doesn't say, but I leave mine on all the time.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
What about when you go out of town?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I know there's that.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It's like, hey, if your light's on twenty four to seven,
then they think, well, no one's been home to turn
it off. But the thing is I leave it on
twenty four to seven and I am home.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I never know if that's a good sign or a
bad sign, So sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't write.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And the last one is look and behave as a
confident woman no matter your age, and trust your instincts
got it, or a confident man, because I know we
have some men listening, and I feel like these tips
are for everyone. I have an email from Tiffany. She said, Hey,
I just wanted to write in because of part of
what you and Chase talked about in a recent episode.
(14:29):
I'm a Christian and I grew up in a conservative
Christian home. I started going to hot yoga classes in
twenty twelve and fell in love with it.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It was the.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
First form of exercise that I'd tried that I truly enjoyed.
This week, one of my favorite yoga teachers announced that
she's quitting yoga because of her Christian faith.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It left me feeling confused. To me, it's exercise.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
It helps me clear my head, relieve stress, and gives
a huge boost of endorphins that leave me feeling greater
after class. I don't go excessively. If I can make
it once a week, I'm happy. I think if you
look too far into anything, you can find something negative.
Thanks for reminding me that for me, yoga can remain
the extremely positive part of my life that it has
been for over a decade. We don't have to allow
(15:12):
other people's perceptions of things rule our lives. Your friend Tiffany,
which that was an four Things episode that Chase and
I did where we talked about you know, sometimes when
you grow up as a conservative Christian, like some of
the things like very fundamentalist, and I feel like it's
evolved a little bit. But like back you know, twenty
years ago, well thirty thirty years ago. Now, I was
(15:36):
a real like a young kid starting to go to
our church when I was nine or ten years old.
Like that's when stuff starts getting put into your head.
And I so as an adult, when I started wanting
to meditate, I'm like, oh, am, I supposed to be meditating?
Is meditating bad? When I wanted to start doing yoga
in my twenties, I was like, oh is yoga bad?
Am I supposed to my doing bad things if I
go to yoga? And so Chase and I were just
(15:56):
talking about that, and yoga is just one of the examples.
But that's that's why Tiffany is emailing about it, and
I mean, I think she's right. If you look too
far into anything, you can find something negative. But last
Thursday I mentioned the let them theory, which is something
that I learned from our girl mel Robinson take a shot,
(16:17):
and you know she said that, you know, it was
introduced to her. I don't know originally where it came from,
but the cliffs Notes version is you don't have to
control everybody and what they're thinking and what they're doing.
If they want to believe that, think that, do whatever,
let them, and then it frees you of having to
worry about it or control it. And it could be
something simple as like your kid wants to wear a
(16:39):
certain outfit that you're likeugh, let them. Someone wants to
go do something and let them. Someone wants to quit
yoga because of whatever reason, let them and you keep
doing you.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, well, I love that. I think that is a
beautiful theory. I think a lot of times when what
you're talking about, which is a really necessary conversation for
a lot of people, is when we can't let them,
it's because we need everything to be the same for
it to be okay, Like, I need you to confirm
that I'm doing it right because you're doing it the
way that I'm doing it, and if people aren't doing
(17:09):
it my way, then it like seeps in. Somebody has
to be right and somebody has to be wrong versus.
There are so many right ways to do literally everything. Oh, podcast,
it's your home phone. No, No, it's a podcast. I
don't know why.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Honestly, I have it because of the Bobby Bone Show,
because I can record stuff here and do shows. Hold please,
it's it's going to be a salesperson. It's not anybody.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Oh I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I mean we're getting all the calls today.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Well that's I've never heard of ring like that in
like yours.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, So for any young people listening, that is a landline.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
It rings.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
It has a cord, those buttons you pick it up.
If you're talking to your boyfriend and you have to
go into the pantry, you.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Need a really long cord. Oh my god, pantry, shut
the door.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Be quiet.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Did you have a phone in your room?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I did eventually, Okay, Yeah, I can't believe my mom
let me have a phone in my room. Well, I
don't let my kids have the cell phone in their room.
I know it's different because there's more apps and whatnot,
but I don't want them on the phone all night long.
But like that's true. Yeah, I had a swatchphone. It
was clear and you could see all the wires.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I had that. I also had the headset phone and
I played I played drive through with it. I don't
think I've ever talked on it AnyWho. I think I
was done with what I was saying of when we
get all weird about judging other people's behavior and saying
that's not okay, that's it's because we need to feel
okay by others around us, like affirming what we're doing
(18:35):
by also doing it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, what a power decision would be.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, how we would lay it out what we would
want to happen.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
And that's exactly what yeah, Mel was saying.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I love.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
In Tiffany's email too, she said, yoga gives me a
huge boost of endorphins that leave me feeling great after class.
And yes, let's quote Elle Woods here speaking of murdering
your husband's and it's make you.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Happy, and how many people just don't kill people exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
So we all should be speaking yoga or some sort
of you know something that anything. There's other things besides
movement that can release endorphins too.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Did you have anybody tell you that you personally that
you shouldn't be doing yoga.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I just remember feeling uncomfortable about it because I know
that for a fact from the pulpit or somewhere, I
heard something about that being the work of the you
know who.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I had an ex boyfriend say that I couldn't being
a Christian. I couldn't wow.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Okay, well, so he needed to learn to let them.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I don't think he's learned it yet. That's why he's
an ex. Yes, we're going to keep him that way.
I'll close with a similar email to Tiffany's that we
got from Heather. Hey, Amy, I'm a regular listener, and
I feel like we are sisters from another mother with
so many similarities. I also grew up very conservative, and
I want you to know I don't think you need
to worry about your cousin's podcast.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I'm excited for it, and.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I think most people will be as well, and those
who are not interested in things like that just won't
listen to her.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Keep up the good work.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Thanks for all you do I'm grateful for your guests,
Kat and your cousin Amanda, Heather, your sister from another Mother,
which thank you Heather.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Okay, I have to say I listened to the first
episode of Amanda's podcast. I thought it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Soul Sessions is what it's called. And I when I
was looking at podcasts, I saw soul Sessions. There's several
title lots, so it's Soul Sessions. Amanda Rieger Green and
she's got to cut her face is in the picture
with a microphone, and she looks real cute. So make
sure you're listening to that specific one, because hey, I
don't know that. I don't know that I can say
(20:38):
let them to some of those other ones. I might
be like, oh, yeah, don't listen to that one. But
soul Sessions. How how could you go wrong with a
podcast titled that? Which Cat yours is you Need Therapy podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
There's also another you Need Therapy there is.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah, okay, so kats is you need Therapy with Kat Defauta.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
It with me very specific about that, and she's got
episodes that come out every Monday and Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And it's not therapy all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It's just mental health minded.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, and conversations.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
You do Q and a's, you answer questions from listeners
and have thought provoking interviews. And it's not a replacement
for therapy, but it's definitely a tool for it can
keep in their toolbox.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
You can help. And it's the same thing in that
email Heather, that was her name?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Was you know my sister from another mother?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yes? Yes, Oa, it's the same. Not every episode that
you listen of mine, you're going to agree with everything
I say either, And that's okay. I think that's the
power of when we are taking in content, because there's
so much of it everywhere, we have to be able
to be open to the fact that not everything's going
to fit with us, because if we're not, then we're
just absorbing everything or rejecting everything. Right, so we be
(21:49):
in some space.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I feel like everybody that's listening to mine agrees with everything.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Everything you say is right.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Every for sure, it's right.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Just kidding, I am not sure at this point of
when Kat and I are recording this where Pimp and
Joy stands with our patriotic line. But if you would
like to help us build a home for a hero,
we launched that campaign late last week on Friday. We
had a soft launch earlier in the week and sold out,
but it was a limited run, and then on Friday
we put up tons of other stuff. I don't know
(22:21):
the cutoff for getting things in time for Fourth of July,
but it is a patriotic line. The stuff is so
cute and one hundred percent of the proceeds anytime you're
shopping Pimp and Joy go towards the cause. And right now,
the cause is building a veteran a home, a veteran
that sacrificed so much of his life while he was
serving in Iraq. I mean, it's changed everything for him.
(22:43):
He's had seventy surgeries since the ied. His truck drove
over one exploded. He was completely on fire. He lost
his face, he's lost part of his hand, amputated, just
different things. His face had been completely reconstructed and put back.
We didn't post all of the pictures online because you
know it's graphic, but I have the before, the after,
(23:06):
and then the now, like the after the accident after,
and it's like gosh.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And then also it's just.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Gratitude for amazing doctors that are able to do that
and build someone's face back, so he's amazing.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I hope y'all can support or did support.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
If you want to look more into it, you can
hit up the shop for dot com slash Pimp and Joy. Also,
Radioamy dot com is a way to find everything. And
then Kat also has a website You Need Therapy Podcast
dot com and then on Instagram, I'm at Radio Amy
and she is.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
At Kat dot Defauda and at You Need Therapy Podcast Boom.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Hope y'all are having the day that you need to
have and we'll see you. Well, I'll see you Thursday,
but Kat and I'll see you next Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Peace by
Happy Tuesday, Welcome to the Fifth Thing. I'm Amy and
I'm Kat, and our quote for today is people come
into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I think it's a full poem. Poem. Shut up, Kat.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I know she's about to make fun of how I
say that word. But I was hosting an event the
other night for Kelsey Ballerini and we did a little
Q and A session she performed as well. When we
sat down, we were talking about her album Rolling Out
the Welcome Matt, and I asked her, if I were
to describe that album in one word, I would say therapeutic.
(00:41):
And you know, she included the short film with it,
all the things, and I don't know if it's an
EP or whatever you want to call it, but.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
She said, yes, it was therapeutic.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
But if I had to describe it in one word,
I would say necessary.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Ooh. And I was like, dang, okay, that's good.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I feel like for anybody, I mean, think of what
you need to do for yourself that, yes, may be therapeutic,
but necessary. And I mean I can think of some
things that where I'm like, okay, wow, I'm going to
start defining it as that because I think I've said, well, okay,
that just had to happen. But I like that word necessary.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
What makes it feel less like therapeutic. Obviously I like
that words. I like therapy, but it feels like almost
like an extra thing that was helpful versus this literally
had to happen and it was my right to do it.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I mean, like I wasn't. I'm not going to be living.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
There's no other choice.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
My life too, its fullest or who I want to be.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Unless I do this, I'm not going to be going
in the direction I want to go in. And she
has a song called if You Go Down, I'm going
down too, and it's like you writer die friends, you know,
were you goodbye?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Or old Dixie Chicks fan?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Which always felt weird singing about, you know, getting rid
of somebody, But.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Did you know that that's really what that was? I
feel like when I was singing that song, I didn't
really understand that I was singing about like murdering.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Marian and Wanda were the best of friends all.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I mean, the story is told.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I know, but like I don't think I paid attention
then later in life, I'm like we were singing about
domestic abuse and murdering somebody like in the hallways of
sixth grade.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, it is weird to think about.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yeah, and I think that Kelsey song is in the
same vein. And so we were talking about friendships and
that's when the quote came up, and she said, well,
I've been in a lot of therapy and I've just
learned that some people in your life they're there for
a reason. Some of them are there for a season,
and then others are there for a lifetime. And it's
the lifetimers that are the the.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Virals all go down with you too.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And I'm ninety nine percent sure that you know I'd
be there for you if we needed to, you know,
get rid of Big Pee for whatever reason. You'd have
to be horrible. Yeah, because he's not. He's an amazing person.
So I don't even like this hypothetical. But also back
to the friendship thing real quick. That statement alone. Every
(03:08):
relationship has its purpose, Like you can sometimes think like, oh,
what happened to that relationship and why was it just
like poof, you're poof gone or whatever, And every relationship
has meaning if you look for it.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
What did this relationship make possible for me? That what word.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
So anyway, big P I feel like if you needed
me to help you with something, I would. However, I
know when the police came to my door, i'd freak out.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Would you lie? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I don't know what I would do.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I'm trying to figure that out in my head right now,
but I know that I would be freaking out.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
And I also know that I don't want us.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
To go to jail, and so I feel that as
your friend, I would suggest we do something different to him,
like I'll hold him down and then we can brand
his forehead.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I was thinking, like you hold him down to like
tickle his feet or something, some wholesome torture. I don't
think I want a brand. I don't think I could
do it. But what would we brand him? With a
liar on his forehead? Stay away from me, I'm a
loser or something like that, okay, or you could be
my ride or die in the sense of help me escape.
(04:24):
But we don't have to do anything to him, true, unless,
like I don't know. Sometimes it's like I understand that
desire because you're afraid, like they'll find you no matter what.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, Like we're obviously, and I don't want to make
light of a serious situation for people, So that's kind
of off the table. It's just like thinking of your friend, like,
who is a friend that does that for you?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
And you would do that for them or your group
of friends.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
And but wait a second, you know, we would still
go to jail if we branded his forehead.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, that's probably illegal too, but hey, not to cleep,
I mean, but probably not for life.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yeah, and maybe we could go to the same one.
I mean some of the some of the jails are
pretty nice, and I'm pretty nice. The one that the
Chris Lies are at, and I think they play golf
there or something. There's where Martha Stewart went.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
There's tennis. You don't have to deal with other things
in life. It's a little getaway, which I know. Jail
is no joke either. We actually have had a listener
call into the show twice in the last year or two.
She called in, most recently because we were talking about
Elizabeth Holmes because she went to jail by the show,
(05:26):
I mean, the Bobby Bone Show. And she's someone that
went into jail for a white collar crime that she
feels as though she was not guilty for. And that's
her claim that she was wrongly accused. She was a
pharmacist and she got like wrapped up in some prescription
pill situation and they were looking for, I guess, a scapegoat,
(05:47):
and it ended up going on her and she went
to where Elizabeth Holmes is, a women's minimum security prison
that's in Brian College Station area in Texas, and she
said she doesn't wish.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
That upon anybody.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So even though it's minimum, not great, still not great
at all, and nobody wants to get locked up. But
isn't it still crazy to think about how that Martha
Stewart went to jail.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Yeah, but in my head she didn't go to real
jail I guess.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Right, or that she did something bad like that and
then got in trouble.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, it's for a long time. And now she's back
on the cover of Sports Illustrated. So at like what
eighty eighty something crazy goals could be us? Could be us?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Or probably not?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
On a related note to murder, did I ever tell
you the story of the worker that was at my
house and I had to give him my garage code
temporarily because nobody was going to be here and he
needed to get in, and I trusted him, so when
I had made the decision to give him the code,
and then I knew I could change the code after
he said, it's not like I'm going to come in
and murder you or something like. And I thought, that's
(06:54):
just not a joke to make, right now.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Do you mind saying what kind of worker? Was it?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Like?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Somebody of work being done here?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You know him well, but I know people that know him,
So that's why I really trusted him.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
There's times to make that joke, and then there's times
that like, are you making that joke because you might
actually do it? And you want to cover yourself up.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Right, and you're trying to make me think that you
would never do that.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
So what did you say?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I just was like, huh, I don't know. I didn't
I was like just awkward, awkward. Well, it's top of
mind for me now. Because a listener of the Bobby
Bone Show is that's where I originally told that story.
She works for ADT and she said, Hey, Amy, I
heard you talking about your code that you gave a worker.
I work at ADT. Do you have the ADT control app?
(07:39):
If so, you can make temporary codes to give to
people when they need to come by, and you can
choose to turn them on or off and also delete
it all from the app.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
So I thought that was so helpful. I had no
idea you could do that.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So we have at my work office, we have an
alarm system, and we have different codes for every single
person that works there. Nobody knows anybody else's code. When
they leave, that code's deleted. If we need to have
somebody come in, like the landlord or something, I can
give them a temporary code. And this is the best part.
There's a code they give you that if somebody, like
(08:13):
we have a parking lot in the back of our
like and it gets dark and scary kind of at night,
if somebody is like hiding there and ready to, like
I don't know, jump you and wants to like make
you go back in there, turn the alarm off and
like steal stuff. Fy, there's literally nothing to steal in our.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
But yet your office has been broken into multiple times.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
But what people stole when that one time and we
got this system after that, they stole all of our
toilet paper, all of our paper towels, all of our
hand sanitizer, all of our trash bags, and my jean
jacket from American Eagle. So that's what there is to
steal in there. Oh and my podcast equipment, but it
doesn't live there anymore any Whosy. There's this code that
you can program where if they're like turn it off,
(08:51):
you press the code and it turns the alarm off
and it looks like you just turn the alarm off.
It also calls nine to one one oh, but it
doesn't nobody knows that. So if you're scared, it will
call em on one and you can sit there knowing
that nine one one is on the way and they
don't do the normal thing where they call you first,
They just come. If you plug that code in, that's awesome.
Make sure if you have a larned system. I feel
(09:11):
like a lot of people have that now.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
And I do feel like last Tuesday, because some of
your friends that we were hanging out with at Big
PE's birthday party, they did not know about the emergency
contact thing that we were talking about on last Tuesday's
very informative episode. That shit thing is you know, gonna
save your life basically, and your friends were like, WHOA,
this is so helpful, And then y'all have been friends
(09:34):
for a very long time your group and everyone was deciding, wait, shoot,
who do I want to make my emergency contact? Because
I don't really trust that you're going to show up
or you're going to show up. But this is y'all
have like a designated person that you know is.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Gonna everybody said the same person, Yeah, check on you.
It also all said not me, That's okay, I have
other qualities.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I mean, but I bet if you go down, they'd
go down to one hundred. Yeah, for sure, they'd brand it.
I also came across an article that was sharing smart
tips for if you're living alone or maybe if you
have a spouse that travels or significant other a lot
and you end up being in the home alone or
in the house alone a lot. And I think that
(10:17):
the tips are also good for families. I also came
across an article that was sharing smart tips for if
you're living alone or maybe if you have a spouse
(10:37):
that travels or significant other a lot and you end
up being in the home alone or in the house
alone a lot. And I think that the tips are
also good for families. So I'm going to run through
some of them and see if we need to implement
them at our place. So the first one is, you know,
if you can afford it and care for it, get
a dog who's going to bark loudly if someone is
at the door.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Check you got that.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
My dog barks so much.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Although did you notice she wasn't barking when she came
to the door except for hello, hold on?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
This has been called said the dog? The dog's it bins,
you know, fifty to fifty custody? Hold please?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Hello, Hey, Oh I'm recording a podcast right now. Can
I call you right back? Thanks?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
By see amicable.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
So that's why that's why Kara didn't bark when you
got heard.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Were you curious?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I thought maybe she usually when I knock on the door,
she runs to the door, So I was like, oh no,
but cool. So you're splitting half and half.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, well, yes, Stevenson loves to sleep with her and
that's where he is right now. Stashira, was it camp?
But you also noticed that I have no furniture really
kind of. My living room is bare. There's no couch
and I have no washer and dryer. Working on that,
we'll start to build things back up. It's just like
we had movers at one point, so kind of everything
(11:55):
we had already divided up. Okay, this is how we're
going to do this. This is how we're going to do that. Anyway,
get a dog. I guess I'm a cat. The cat's here,
she's she's not scaring anyone off. Say hello and goodbye
out loud when arriving or leaving your house, as if
you're talking to a real person. That way, people around
don't assume you're alone. If someone's stalking you. Oh okay,
(12:19):
because people you know, what's that called case.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Your house, Like they drive by and they study they yes,
and so.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
If you're like, bye, see you later.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I hope you have a good workout, lift off heavy weights,
and don't forget to clean your gun.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You know, so you okay, you know you're not alone?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Use your first initial rather than your whole name on
your mailbox or your mail or especially if you have
a mailbox at an apartment place like so that way
they don't know too much about you. Go to the
thrift store and buy an old pair of worn men's
boots and leave them outside the front door.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
That's like, create my man is here and he wears
big boots, big big huge.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
If listening to music while on a walk or a jog,
only use one ear piece so that you can hear
someone approaching.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I do that smart, but I do that for when
I used to run, I would run near like busier streets,
and I always wanted to make sure I could hear
a car or something.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Yeah. Also, one of my headphones is broken, so I
don't really have an option anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
There's that too.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Sprinkle baby powder on the floor of your entire entrance
before you leave, so if someone enters there's a footprint
captured on the floor.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
I like they won't do that.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Well, it feels like very Home Alone is the movie.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Another one here is have lamps that you leave on
twenty four to seven?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Do you do that?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I do that. There's one downstairs. Okay, and wait, I
wonder if this is on there. But are you supposed
to leave your porch light on or off?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
It doesn't say, but I leave mine on all the time.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
What about when you go out of town?
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I know there's that.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It's like, hey, if your light's on twenty four to seven,
then they think, well, no one's been home to turn
it off. But the thing is I leave it on
twenty four to seven and I am home.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I never know if that's a good sign or a
bad sign, So sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't write.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
And the last one is look and behave as a
confident woman no matter your age, and trust your instincts
got it, or a confident man, because I know we
have some men listening, and I feel like these tips
are for everyone. I have an email from Tiffany. She said, Hey,
I just wanted to write in because of part of
what you and Chase talked about in a recent episode.
(14:29):
I'm a Christian and I grew up in a conservative
Christian home. I started going to hot yoga classes in
twenty twelve and fell in love with it.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It was the.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
First form of exercise that I'd tried that I truly enjoyed.
This week, one of my favorite yoga teachers announced that
she's quitting yoga because of her Christian faith.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It left me feeling confused. To me, it's exercise.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
It helps me clear my head, relieve stress, and gives
a huge boost of endorphins that leave me feeling greater
after class. I don't go excessively. If I can make
it once a week, I'm happy. I think if you
look too far into anything, you can find something negative.
Thanks for reminding me that for me, yoga can remain
the extremely positive part of my life that it has
been for over a decade. We don't have to allow
(15:12):
other people's perceptions of things rule our lives. Your friend Tiffany,
which that was an four Things episode that Chase and
I did where we talked about you know, sometimes when
you grow up as a conservative Christian, like some of
the things like very fundamentalist, and I feel like it's
evolved a little bit. But like back you know, twenty
years ago, well thirty thirty years ago. Now, I was
(15:36):
a real like a young kid starting to go to
our church when I was nine or ten years old.
Like that's when stuff starts getting put into your head.
And I so as an adult, when I started wanting
to meditate, I'm like, oh, am, I supposed to be meditating?
Is meditating bad? When I wanted to start doing yoga
in my twenties, I was like, oh is yoga bad?
Am I supposed to my doing bad things if I
go to yoga? And so Chase and I were just
(15:56):
talking about that, and yoga is just one of the examples.
But that's that's why Tiffany is emailing about it, and
I mean, I think she's right. If you look too
far into anything, you can find something negative. But last
Thursday I mentioned the let them theory, which is something
that I learned from our girl mel Robinson take a shot,
(16:17):
and you know she said that, you know, it was
introduced to her. I don't know originally where it came from,
but the cliffs Notes version is you don't have to
control everybody and what they're thinking and what they're doing.
If they want to believe that, think that, do whatever,
let them, and then it frees you of having to
worry about it or control it. And it could be
something simple as like your kid wants to wear a
(16:39):
certain outfit that you're likeugh, let them. Someone wants to
go do something and let them. Someone wants to quit
yoga because of whatever reason, let them and you keep
doing you.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, well, I love that. I think that is a
beautiful theory. I think a lot of times when what
you're talking about, which is a really necessary conversation for
a lot of people, is when we can't let them,
it's because we need everything to be the same for
it to be okay, Like, I need you to confirm
that I'm doing it right because you're doing it the
way that I'm doing it, and if people aren't doing
(17:09):
it my way, then it like seeps in. Somebody has
to be right and somebody has to be wrong versus.
There are so many right ways to do literally everything. Oh, podcast,
it's your home phone. No, No, it's a podcast. I
don't know why.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Honestly, I have it because of the Bobby Bone Show,
because I can record stuff here and do shows. Hold please,
it's it's going to be a salesperson. It's not anybody.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Oh I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I mean we're getting all the calls today.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Well that's I've never heard of ring like that in
like yours.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, So for any young people listening, that is a landline.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
It rings.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
It has a cord, those buttons you pick it up.
If you're talking to your boyfriend and you have to
go into the pantry, you.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Need a really long cord. Oh my god, pantry, shut
the door.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Be quiet.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Did you have a phone in your room?
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I did eventually, Okay, Yeah, I can't believe my mom
let me have a phone in my room. Well, I
don't let my kids have the cell phone in their room.
I know it's different because there's more apps and whatnot,
but I don't want them on the phone all night long.
But like that's true. Yeah, I had a swatchphone. It
was clear and you could see all the wires.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I had that. I also had the headset phone and
I played I played drive through with it. I don't
think I've ever talked on it AnyWho. I think I
was done with what I was saying of when we
get all weird about judging other people's behavior and saying
that's not okay, that's it's because we need to feel
okay by others around us, like affirming what we're doing
(18:35):
by also doing it.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Yeah, what a power decision would be.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, how we would lay it out what we would
want to happen.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
And that's exactly what yeah, Mel was saying.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
I love.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
In Tiffany's email too, she said, yoga gives me a
huge boost of endorphins that leave me feeling great after class.
And yes, let's quote Elle Woods here speaking of murdering
your husband's and it's make you.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Happy, and how many people just don't kill people exactly.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
So we all should be speaking yoga or some sort
of you know something that anything. There's other things besides
movement that can release endorphins too.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Did you have anybody tell you that you personally that
you shouldn't be doing yoga.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I just remember feeling uncomfortable about it because I know
that for a fact from the pulpit or somewhere, I
heard something about that being the work of the you
know who.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I had an ex boyfriend say that I couldn't being
a Christian. I couldn't wow.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Okay, well, so he needed to learn to let them.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
I don't think he's learned it yet. That's why he's
an ex. Yes, we're going to keep him that way.
I'll close with a similar email to Tiffany's that we
got from Heather. Hey, Amy, I'm a regular listener, and
I feel like we are sisters from another mother with
so many similarities. I also grew up very conservative, and
I want you to know I don't think you need
to worry about your cousin's podcast.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I'm excited for it, and.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I think most people will be as well, and those
who are not interested in things like that just won't
listen to her.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Keep up the good work.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Thanks for all you do I'm grateful for your guests,
Kat and your cousin Amanda, Heather, your sister from another Mother,
which thank you Heather.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Okay, I have to say I listened to the first
episode of Amanda's podcast. I thought it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Soul Sessions is what it's called. And I when I
was looking at podcasts, I saw soul Sessions. There's several
title lots, so it's Soul Sessions. Amanda Rieger Green and
she's got to cut her face is in the picture
with a microphone, and she looks real cute. So make
sure you're listening to that specific one, because hey, I
don't know that. I don't know that I can say
(20:38):
let them to some of those other ones. I might
be like, oh, yeah, don't listen to that one. But
soul Sessions. How how could you go wrong with a
podcast titled that? Which Cat yours is you Need Therapy podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
There's also another you Need Therapy there is.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Yeah, okay, so kats is you need Therapy with Kat Defauta.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
It with me very specific about that, and she's got
episodes that come out every Monday and Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And it's not therapy all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
It's just mental health minded.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah, and conversations.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
You do Q and a's, you answer questions from listeners
and have thought provoking interviews. And it's not a replacement
for therapy, but it's definitely a tool for it can
keep in their toolbox.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
You can help. And it's the same thing in that
email Heather, that was her name?
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Was you know my sister from another mother?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Yes? Yes, Oa, it's the same. Not every episode that
you listen of mine, you're going to agree with everything
I say either, And that's okay. I think that's the
power of when we are taking in content, because there's
so much of it everywhere, we have to be able
to be open to the fact that not everything's going
to fit with us, because if we're not, then we're
just absorbing everything or rejecting everything. Right, so we be
(21:49):
in some space.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I feel like everybody that's listening to mine agrees with everything.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Everything you say is right.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Every for sure, it's right.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Just kidding, I am not sure at this point of
when Kat and I are recording this where Pimp and
Joy stands with our patriotic line. But if you would
like to help us build a home for a hero,
we launched that campaign late last week on Friday. We
had a soft launch earlier in the week and sold out,
but it was a limited run, and then on Friday
we put up tons of other stuff. I don't know
(22:21):
the cutoff for getting things in time for Fourth of July,
but it is a patriotic line. The stuff is so
cute and one hundred percent of the proceeds anytime you're
shopping Pimp and Joy go towards the cause. And right now,
the cause is building a veteran a home, a veteran
that sacrificed so much of his life while he was
serving in Iraq. I mean, it's changed everything for him.
(22:43):
He's had seventy surgeries since the ied. His truck drove
over one exploded. He was completely on fire. He lost
his face, he's lost part of his hand, amputated, just
different things. His face had been completely reconstructed and put back.
We didn't post all of the pictures online because you
know it's graphic, but I have the before, the after,
(23:06):
and then the now, like the after the accident after,
and it's like gosh.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And then also it's just.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Gratitude for amazing doctors that are able to do that
and build someone's face back, so he's amazing.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I hope y'all can support or did support.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
If you want to look more into it, you can
hit up the shop for dot com slash Pimp and Joy. Also,
Radioamy dot com is a way to find everything. And
then Kat also has a website You Need Therapy Podcast
dot com and then on Instagram, I'm at Radio Amy
and she is.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
