Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's Amy and you are listening to the fifth thing.
This is my Q and a segment that goes along
with my podcast that loads every Thursday's, which is four
Things with Amy Brown. So on Tuesdays you get the
fifth thing, which is Question and Answers. So if you've
just stumbled upon my podcast and this is the first
one you're seeing and you're listening, and you're like, oh wait,
her podcast is just questions and Answers, well no it's not.
(00:25):
It's full episodes of four random different things on lifestyle, health, fitness, family, adoption, interviews,
all kinds of things on Thursdays. And then I have
an email address for Things with Amy Brown at gmail
dot com where we compile a bunch of questions and
I now do this Tuesday episode to answer some of
(00:47):
those for you guys. So that is what you are
listening to right now. And with that set, we'll go
ahead and get into the first question. I feel like
this one. I could spend more time with it than
I'm going to hear. Uh. Maybe I'll make it a
(01:09):
thing in my longer form podcast, but we'll see. I'll
see how I can it. Will see j C. If
this helps answer your question. This email came from j C,
and she said that she's followed me a lot on
social media and likes that I eat healthy when I travel,
and she wants to know specifically what I do to
bring things through t s A security because she has
(01:30):
to travel for work a lot, like once a month,
and it kills her health routine. So j C, I
would say, try to take as much food as you
possibly can, because that's the only thing that gets me
through it, especially if I'm on the road for a
work event and i want to eat super clean. Now,
if I'm on the road for fun and it's awesome,
(01:51):
I'm not going to be as strict about it. But
when I am working, I want to feel good, so
it's not necessari then in turn, you end up looking good.
But I want my brain to be sharp, so I
don't want to be eating a bunch of processed foods,
fast foods that just leave me feeling gross. So I
take it all like I have sometimes a bag that's
(02:11):
dedicated to food, and a lot of healthy people that
I know they do this too because they want to
feel their best. Now, when it comes to getting things
through t s A, you just got to make sure
if it's anything liquid e or like even oatmeal or
something chia seed putting. One time, a guy wouldn't let
me through with my cheese seed pudding because it was
over three ounces, and it was depressing to throw it away,
(02:33):
But I totally understood that it didn't comply with the rules,
even though I told him, I mean, look at this,
it's cheese seed pudding. But anyway, he wasn't having it,
so I threw it away. But I have learned that
you just and I think I was like one ounce
over or something ridiculous. But if you get the little
shampoo bottles that you would normally put travel shampoo conditioner,
(02:56):
they've got him at Target, Walgreens, drug Stores, whatever, Croaker,
and instead of filling it up with body wash and shampoo,
you fill it up with whatever you've got. Now, it's
only giving you three ounces, But here's the deal. Say
you want more than three ounces, obviously to fill you up,
then you just get however many shampoo bottles you need
to get you through your trip, and then divide them
(03:18):
up into different bags, especially if you're doing a carry on. Now,
if you're checking a bag, you're good to go, like
you can do put all kinds of things in plastic
travel containers and make sure you just put them in plastics.
That way, if anything happens to explode, it doesn't get
all over your clothes. And then you can put it
in like freezer type bags with ice packs and put
(03:39):
that in your luggage. If you're checking your bag, you're
good to go. But if you're on you know, quick
one or two day trip and you don't want to
check luggage and you're just going through the t s
a pre and you need travel size stuff, that is
what I do. I'll even take pre made Macha lattes
because I love having matches, and I if I'm on
the road, I have to still wake up it three
or four in the morning, depending on where we are
(04:01):
in the country to do the Bobby Bones show. So
I will pre make my macha, pour it in my
little shampoo containers. Say I want a twelve ounce macha,
so that would be four three ounce shampoo containers, and
I divide it evenly and I put the little caps on,
put in a ziplog bag, boom, put it in my
four things tote. I go through security and no questions,
(04:22):
no questions asked, I'm good to go, and then when
it's time for me to drink it, I go to Starbucks,
I get a cup of ice and I open up
my four different containers, pour it in, and boom. It's
like I have a Grande Macha latte, but made with
my ingredients that I know that I can trust and
make me feel good. Which if you're curious about my
Macha recipe, I have it up in my highlights page
(04:42):
on my Instagram. It's at Radio Amy on Instagram. So
I don't know if this helps you, j C. But
you just got to get creative with your packing. I
like to pack like rice cakes to snack on. I
always have dark chocolate with me, anything se or higher. Um.
I have a really awesome dark chocolate linked on my
Amazon page. If you want to check that out. Let's
(05:04):
see what else it's uh call a flower rice like
a stir fry, is really easy to travel with because
you can put it in a little tupware containers and
it sits really well. If you're a lot of times
when I go to a hotel, if I take a
lot of my own food, I request that they put
a mini fridge in and they normally do they I've
(05:25):
never had an issue. I haven't had to pay extra,
and then they just take taking bringing the fridge, take
it away when you leave, and then that way you
can store your food. If your hotel room doesn't already
have a refrigerator, they're nice enough to put one in
there at times, and then I just store it and
I'll take ziplog baggy's full of spinache. Like one time
on a flight, somebody was making fun of me because
(05:47):
I busted out a baggy full of spinach and red
Bell pepper and they were just sitting there eating their
plane their airplane peanuts. And I was like, okay, that's great.
If I were to eat airplane peanuts, my stomach would
hurt a little bit because it just to make me
feel good. But if I eat my spinache and bell pepper,
guess what I'm gonna get all this flight feeling great.
So you don't need to make fun of me. I'm
(06:07):
just trying to do my Boddy good. Uh j C
hoped that helped. I may do this, Like after I
think about it and think of more tips and tricks,
I'll put it up on the four Things podcast. But
if you have more questions, just email me. Now, this
next question is from Jessica. Hey. Amy. On your last podcast,
you talked about when your husband told you that he
loved you. Uh, the first time was after he proposed.
(06:28):
I was wondering if you ever told him that you
loved him before that. Thanks for sharing joy and giving
so much good advice on your podcast. Okay, Jessica, I
had not Again, I was so surprised that my husband
said I love you or no. I was so surprised
that my husband proposed that. I I know we had
not said I love you, but I mean I knew
inside that I loved him, but I wasn't ready to
(06:51):
say it. I just didn't think we were at that
point and I didn't want to scare him. And then
he just straight up proposes, and I'm like, Okay, I
love you too, Let's get married. So that is how
that went down. And now I've got a question from
Nicole Hi. Amy love your podcast. I've followed you on
Instagram for years now and I love following along with
your Macha recipes, smoothie recipes, et cetera. So of course
super pumped about your new Amazon page. Although I'm having
(07:14):
a lot of trouble finding it. I think you posted
the link the other day, but I don't see it
on your Insta stories anymore. So if you could cover
this in your Tuesday mini podcast how to Find the Page,
that'd be great, Thanks, Nicole. Okay, well, that's easy. It's
Amazon dot Com, slash shop, slash Radio, Amy Boom. It
really is simple, and I'm so glad that that is
(07:37):
helping you guys, because I know a lot of I
know even when I'm a fan of someone's UM routine
or product or whatever, and I see them posting about it,
and then I can't remember how to get to it,
and then I question, am I buying the right thing?
And I freak out. I want to buy the right thing.
So hopefully my Amazon page is helpful to y'all. Now,
this next question is from Crystal, and she said I
(07:59):
bought the led light therapy mask after you shared it. UM,
you put some videos up on Instagram you and your
sister using it. Can you share how often you use
it and which color lights are best for what issues
and share your experience and results. I've been using mine
for about eight weeks now, and after the first couple
of uses, it caused some pimples. I normally do not
(08:20):
have a problem with acne, so it is a bit
of a surprise. Do you know if it's normal to
break out anyway. I love listening to your podcast and
watching your cute little family on Instagram. Have a great day, Crystal,
So Crystal, thank you. Um. Yes, I do recommend this
light mask, and I learned about it from Carrie Claude
l who is at the Nashville Beauty Girl on Instagram,
(08:42):
and she is super awesome. I think that the red
light in the blue light are really beneficial and they've
helped me. What I do. I do it almost every
night if I can, and normally when I'm trying to
go to sleep, so I'm already in that mode and
then I just turn it off and roll over and
go to bed. But it's or my husband and we
might be watching something on Netflix to try to go
(09:03):
to bed and he gets freaked out by the light.
But it's fine whatever. I do fifteen minutes on red
and fifteen minutes on blue, and I do it on
level one. I will say when I have tried to
bump up two levels higher than one, I too have
seen breakouts, and I think that that's probably good that
that's happening, because clearly there's something that needs to get out,
(09:26):
but I just don't have time for that right now.
So Crystal, maybe that's what's happening with your face, and
I get it. You probably don't have time for that either,
So I would just make sure that you're down on
the bottom on the little control panel. It's got level
I think that's what it's called, and just make sure
you're on level one, and then you'll you'll see results
at level one that don't end up causing breakouts. Now
(09:48):
that's my advice to you. I'm sure that Carrie the
National Beauty Girl would have a more in depth answer
for you, but I don't have her here with me
right now, but maybe we can address that. I will say,
you do it on a clean ace. I wash my face,
then I go to bed and I put my other
products on my nightstand. I do the red light for
fifteen level one, blue light for fifteen minutes level one.
(10:10):
Then once I'm done, I put it in my drawer
and then I do my creams and stuff that I
put on at night before I go to bed. So
I hope that that helps and that mask is the
led Light mask. I love it. It's also on my
Amazon page if anybody's curious. So this next question is
from Clayton. She said, I've been searching online and re
(10:31):
listening to your podcast to try to find this celery
juice recipe that you've been talking about, and I can't
find it. Could you possibly share it again? Thanks so much,
really enjoy your new podcast, Sincerely, Laura Um Laura, I
will just give it to you right here. It's super easy.
You get one bunch of celery. You rent the celery,
run it through a juicer, drink immediately for best results.
(10:53):
So one bunch would be yeah, the whole stock, I
don't know, they vary, but your goal would be to
get six team to two ounces of celery. And alternatively,
you can chop up the celery blended on a on
high and a high speed blender until smooth and then
strain and drink immediately. So run it through a strainer
(11:14):
and make sure all the chunks of celeries down top,
but you still get the juice and then boom. Because
not everybody has a juicer, I get that. Okay. Let
me get onto another question, and this one is from
Mike and he titled in the email subject line guys Listening,
which I thought was super cool because I honestly just
assume that women are listening, and then I like little
(11:38):
reminders that I have guys listening to. And Mike said
that he enjoyed having my husband on and it's really awesome,
but he was curious what line of work he was in.
And Mike, to address your question, my husband was a
pilot in the Air Force for twelve years and ever
since he got out, he's been still in aviation, but
(11:58):
it's more of an aviation can alton. Some of his
work has been overseas, but after adopting two kids, he
definitely tried to avoid going to Afghanistan and luckily we've
successfully done that and he hasn't had to go overseas
this last year since having the kids. So he's doing
more consulting state side and flies locally in Nashville here
(12:20):
and there, and then he has a drone business as
well that he started with some other military buddies out
of North Carolina, and so he's kind of all over
the place. He's also really involved in a bakery that
we have down in Haiti, which we were able to
build because of Pimp and Joy and the Bobby Bones
Show and the Shot Forward. It was actually the first
(12:41):
shirt that we ever did our blue shirts. So if
you have a blue Pimp and Joy shirt from back
in the day, that went towards supporting the bakery at
the orphanage that my kids came from, and so he
probably spends a lot of time during the week working
on that as well, constant communication with them, and ma'am
that such a good time. Fundraising for that bakery was
(13:02):
like a really big deal and we honestly had no
idea what we were doing building that thing. The director
of the orphanage, Pierre, we had asked him, you know,
if there was something we could do to help bring
in some income for the orphanage where they could be
putting money into the orphanage themselves instead of relying on
donations or different things. And he's like, oh, I know
(13:24):
a lot of places do well with a bakery. People
in Haiti, they love bread and it's awesome. So I
was like, oh, yeah, okay, well we can do that.
So then got with Mary and the Shot Forward and
came up with the blue shirt. This was right after
we had done the black Hats shortly after my mom
passed away, and I, yeah, we fundraise the money. I
can't remember the timeframe, but we needed we needed a
(13:46):
lot of money, like eighty thousand, nine thousand, gosh, I
can't even remember. But we we made it in like
a day, a day or two. We sold all the
blue shirts boom. We had all the money to build
the bakery and hired an amaze a architect because we
wanted it done right, especially if we weren't in the country.
We wanted everything done just right. And I will say
(14:08):
it is an awesome bakery. But then once it was built,
we were like, Okay, Pierre, you're gonna start doing the bakery.
He's like, well, I don't know how to run a bakery,
and we were like, well, shoot, neither do we. So
that's a little oversight on our part. But we finally
got it figured out and my husband played a huge
role in that. And now it's up and running and
it's really cool to see bread coming out of that thing.
(14:30):
And now we're starting to get the point where it's
profitable and the money can flow back into the orphanage.
So but it just makes me laugh sometimes because you
just kind of go for things because you get excited
and then you're kind of learning as you go and
we're still learning, quite honestly. So my sweet husband definitely
(14:50):
dedicates a lot of his time to that as well.
And then I'm trying to think, I mean, here's a dad.
He probably has another job I'm forgetting about sometimes I
think he's pulled like five different directions. But getting out
of the Air Force is really interesting for us. I
will say that a lot of his ideas, a lot
of his identity was in that that might be a
(15:12):
good topic to have him on to talk about maybe
if he's willing to, because I know it's hard for
him to go there, and I didn't really know how
to handle it. I'm I was like, come on, get
over it, get out, you get out of the Air Force.
It's fine, no big deal. Well, he wanted to be
there in the Air Force since he was five years old,
and he went to the Air Force Academy, and his
dad is in the Air Force and his dad is
a retired colonel. So for him to get out was
(15:35):
a really big deal. And I was not as sensitive
to that as I should have been. But it was
the best move for our family, for sure. Okay, and
one last question And I didn't mean for pimp and
Joy to come up in that last question for Mike,
but this one is from Lisa, and she just gets
to the point and asks for, uh, like an explanation
(15:55):
of what pimp and Joy is and where it came from.
And so what I'm gonna do for you is just
read what is on the shot Forwards website because I
feel like sometimes it's just a really concise explanation and
it's so personal to me that sometimes I go off
on a like a thing and it doesn't They just
(16:16):
go on and on and on. So I'm just gonna
read this. This is what's under pimp and Joy at
the shop forward dot com. So Pimp and Joy is
a movement, a celebration dedicated to people who may be
going through a rough time, but they choose to find
and spread joy in their daily lives. The movement started
with Amy's mom, Judy, and the positive pimp and Joy
message she modeled so beautifully as she battled cancer. Will
(16:38):
you choose joy for yourself then spread that joy to others?
We hope, So we also hope that wearing your Pimp
and Joy gear will remind you and encourage you to
choose and spread joy. Check out the Bobby Bones Show
for more information on how to join in on Pimp
and Joy, paying it forward and spreading joy. So that's
hopefully a little recap for you. My mom is no
(17:00):
longer with us since she's passed away, Pimp and Joy
has been able to donate like two million dollars to
various causes, So it's pretty amazing if you own a
piece of Pimp and Joy. Man, it's like my mom's.
Her prayer during cancer was Lord just used this for good,
and from her cancer battle, Pimp and Joy was born.
So I feel like every time I see a Pimp
(17:21):
and Joy item, it's an answer to my mom's prayer,
And you're truly making a difference when you buy it
where it's spread it. But you don't have to shop
Pimp Enjoy or where Pimp and Joy to be a
part of it. You can just smile at someone. You
can get the door for someone, pay for someone's coffee meal.
You know, whatever spreading joy looks like for you, loving
(17:44):
your neighbor, helping your neighbor, mowing your neighbor's yard, babysitting
for a family that you know, kind of could use
a date night, like little things like giving your time.
That that's all part of Pimp and Joy. So thank
you to those of you that are already a part
of it, and thank you to those that are curious
about it and how you can get involved. And thanks
(18:05):
to the Bobby Bones show listeners, Marry the Shot Forward
and everybody that keeps Pimp and Joy alive and awesome
because it's my mom's legacy and I love it. Okay, well,
I'm gonna wrap up today's Q and A. That'll be it,
but make sure you check out this week's episode of
Four Things with Amy Brown. It'll load up on Thursday. Okay,
(18:27):
so I'll see you guys in Bye
Hey, it's Amy and you are listening to the fifth thing.
This is my Q and a segment that goes along

you talked about when your husband told you that he

point and I didn't want to scare him. And then
he just straight up proposes, and I'm like, Okay, I
love you too, Let's get married. So that is how
that went down. And now I've got a question from
Nicole Hi. Amy love your podcast. I've followed you on
Instagram for years now and I love following along with
your Macha recipes, smoothie recipes, et cetera. So of course
super pumped about your new Amazon page. Although I'm having
(07:14):
a lot of trouble finding it. I think you posted
the link the other day, but I don't see it
on your Insta stories anymore. So if you could cover
this in your Tuesday mini podcast how to Find the Page,
that'd be great, Thanks, Nicole. Okay, well, that's easy. It's
Amazon dot Com, slash shop, slash Radio, Amy Boom. It
really is simple, and I'm so glad that that is
(07:37):
helping you guys, because I know a lot of I
know even when I'm a fan of someone's UM routine
or product or whatever, and I see them posting about it,
and then I can't remember how to get to it,
and then I question, am I buying the right thing?
And I freak out. I want to buy the right thing.
So hopefully my Amazon page is helpful to y'all. Now,
this next question is from Crystal, and she said I
(07:59):
bought the led light therapy mask after you shared it. UM,
you put some videos up on Instagram you and your
sister using it. Can you share how often you use
it and which color lights are best for what issues
and share your experience and results. I've been using mine
for about eight weeks now, and after the first couple
of uses, it caused some pimples. I normally do not
(08:20):
have a problem with acne, so it is a bit
of a surprise. Do you know if it's normal to
break out anyway. I love listening to your podcast and
watching your cute little family on Instagram. Have a great day, Crystal,
So Crystal, thank you. Um. Yes, I do recommend this
light mask, and I learned about it from Carrie Claude
l who is at the Nashville Beauty Girl on Instagram,
(08:42):
and she is super awesome. I think that the red
light in the blue light are really beneficial and they've
helped me. What I do. I do it almost every
night if I can, and normally when I'm trying to
go to sleep, so I'm already in that mode and
then I just turn it off and roll over and
go to bed. But it's or my husband and we
might be watching something on Netflix to try to go
(09:03):
to bed and he gets freaked out by the light.
But it's fine whatever. I do fifteen minutes on red
and fifteen minutes on blue, and I do it on
level one. I will say when I have tried to
bump up two levels higher than one, I too have
seen breakouts, and I think that that's probably good that
that's happening, because clearly there's something that needs to get out,
(09:26):
but I just don't have time for that right now.
So Crystal, maybe that's what's happening with your face, and
I get it. You probably don't have time for that either,
So I would just make sure that you're down on
the bottom on the little control panel. It's got level
I think that's what it's called, and just make sure
you're on level one, and then you'll you'll see results
at level one that don't end up causing breakouts. Now
(09:48):
that's my advice to you. I'm sure that Carrie the
National Beauty Girl would have a more in depth answer
for you, but I don't have her here with me
right now, but maybe we can address that. I will say,
you do it on a clean ace. I wash my face,
then I go to bed and I put my other
products on my nightstand. I do the red light for
fifteen level one, blue light for fifteen minutes level one.
(10:10):
Then once I'm done, I put it in my drawer
and then I do my creams and stuff that I
put on at night before I go to bed. So
I hope that that helps and that mask is the
led Light mask. I love it. It's also on my
Amazon page if anybody's curious. So this next question is
from Clayton. She said, I've been searching online and re
(10:31):
listening to your podcast to try to find this celery
juice recipe that you've been talking about, and I can't
find it. Could you possibly share it again? Thanks so much,
really enjoy your new podcast, Sincerely, Laura Um Laura, I
will just give it to you right here. It's super easy.
You get one bunch of celery. You rent the celery,
run it through a juicer, drink immediately for best results.
(10:53):
So one bunch would be yeah, the whole stock, I
don't know, they vary, but your goal would be to
get six team to two ounces of celery. And alternatively,
you can chop up the celery blended on a on
high and a high speed blender until smooth and then
strain and drink immediately. So run it through a strainer
(11:14):
and make sure all the chunks of celeries down top,
but you still get the juice and then boom. Because
not everybody has a juicer, I get that. Okay. Let
me get onto another question, and this one is from
Mike and he titled in the email subject line guys Listening,
which I thought was super cool because I honestly just
assume that women are listening, and then I like little
(11:38):
reminders that I have guys listening to. And Mike said
that he enjoyed having my husband on and it's really awesome,
but he was curious what line of work he was in.
And Mike, to address your question, my husband was a
pilot in the Air Force for twelve years and ever
since he got out, he's been still in aviation, but
(11:58):
it's more of an aviation can alton. Some of his
work has been overseas, but after adopting two kids, he
definitely tried to avoid going to Afghanistan and luckily we've
successfully done that and he hasn't had to go overseas
this last year since having the kids. So he's doing
more consulting state side and flies locally in Nashville here
(12:20):
and there, and then he has a drone business as
well that he started with some other military buddies out
of North Carolina, and so he's kind of all over
the place. He's also really involved in a bakery that
we have down in Haiti, which we were able to
build because of Pimp and Joy and the Bobby Bones
Show and the Shot Forward. It was actually the first
(12:41):
shirt that we ever did our blue shirts. So if
you have a blue Pimp and Joy shirt from back
in the day, that went towards supporting the bakery at
the orphanage that my kids came from, and so he
probably spends a lot of time during the week working
on that as well, constant communication with them, and ma'am
that such a good time. Fundraising for that bakery was
(13:02):
like a really big deal and we honestly had no
idea what we were doing building that thing. The director
of the orphanage, Pierre, we had asked him, you know,
if there was something we could do to help bring
in some income for the orphanage where they could be
putting money into the orphanage themselves instead of relying on
donations or different things. And he's like, oh, I know
(13:24):
a lot of places do well with a bakery. People
in Haiti, they love bread and it's awesome. So I
was like, oh, yeah, okay, well we can do that.
So then got with Mary and the Shot Forward and
came up with the blue shirt. This was right after
we had done the black Hats shortly after my mom
passed away, and I, yeah, we fundraise the money. I
can't remember the timeframe, but we needed we needed a
(13:46):
lot of money, like eighty thousand, nine thousand, gosh, I
can't even remember. But we we made it in like
a day, a day or two. We sold all the
blue shirts boom. We had all the money to build
the bakery and hired an amaze a architect because we
wanted it done right, especially if we weren't in the country.
We wanted everything done just right. And I will say
(14:08):
it is an awesome bakery. But then once it was built,
we were like, Okay, Pierre, you're gonna start doing the bakery.
He's like, well, I don't know how to run a bakery,
and we were like, well, shoot, neither do we. So
that's a little oversight on our part. But we finally
got it figured out and my husband played a huge
role in that. And now it's up and running and
it's really cool to see bread coming out of that thing.
(14:30):
And now we're starting to get the point where it's
profitable and the money can flow back into the orphanage.
So but it just makes me laugh sometimes because you
just kind of go for things because you get excited
and then you're kind of learning as you go and
we're still learning, quite honestly. So my sweet husband definitely
(14:50):
dedicates a lot of his time to that as well.
And then I'm trying to think, I mean, here's a dad.
He probably has another job I'm forgetting about sometimes I
think he's pulled like five different directions. But getting out
of the Air Force is really interesting for us. I
will say that a lot of his ideas, a lot
of his identity was in that that might be a
(15:12):
good topic to have him on to talk about maybe
if he's willing to, because I know it's hard for
him to go there, and I didn't really know how
to handle it. I'm I was like, come on, get
over it, get out, you get out of the Air Force.
It's fine, no big deal. Well, he wanted to be
there in the Air Force since he was five years old,
and he went to the Air Force Academy, and his
dad is in the Air Force and his dad is
a retired colonel. So for him to get out was
(15:35):
a really big deal. And I was not as sensitive
to that as I should have been. But it was
the best move for our family, for sure. Okay, and
one last question And I didn't mean for pimp and
Joy to come up in that last question for Mike,
but this one is from Lisa, and she just gets
to the point and asks for, uh, like an explanation
(15:55):
of what pimp and Joy is and where it came from.
And so what I'm gonna do for you is just
read what is on the shot Forwards website because I
feel like sometimes it's just a really concise explanation and
it's so personal to me that sometimes I go off
on a like a thing and it doesn't They just
(16:16):
go on and on and on. So I'm just gonna
read this. This is what's under pimp and Joy at
the shop forward dot com. So Pimp and Joy is
a movement, a celebration dedicated to people who may be
going through a rough time, but they choose to find
and spread joy in their daily lives. The movement started
with Amy's mom, Judy, and the positive pimp and Joy
message she modeled so beautifully as she battled cancer. Will
(16:38):
you choose joy for yourself then spread that joy to others?
We hope, So we also hope that wearing your Pimp
and Joy gear will remind you and encourage you to
choose and spread joy. Check out the Bobby Bones Show
for more information on how to join in on Pimp
and Joy, paying it forward and spreading joy. So that's
hopefully a little recap for you. My mom is no
(17:00):
longer with us since she's passed away, Pimp and Joy
has been able to donate like two million dollars to
various causes, So it's pretty amazing if you own a
piece of Pimp and Joy. Man, it's like my mom's.
Her prayer during cancer was Lord just used this for good,
and from her cancer battle, Pimp and Joy was born.
So I feel like every time I see a Pimp
(17:21):
and Joy item, it's an answer to my mom's prayer,
And you're truly making a difference when you buy it
where it's spread it. But you don't have to shop
Pimp Enjoy or where Pimp and Joy to be a
part of it. You can just smile at someone. You
can get the door for someone, pay for someone's coffee meal.
You know, whatever spreading joy looks like for you, loving
(17:44):
your neighbor, helping your neighbor, mowing your neighbor's yard, babysitting
for a family that you know, kind of could use
a date night, like little things like giving your time.
That that's all part of Pimp and Joy. So thank
you to those of you that are already a part
of it, and thank you to those that are curious
about it and how you can get involved. And thanks
(18:05):
to the Bobby Bones show listeners, Marry the Shot Forward
and everybody that keeps Pimp and Joy alive and awesome
because it's my mom's legacy and I love it. Okay, well,
I'm gonna wrap up today's Q and A. That'll be it,
but make sure you check out this week's episode of
Four Things with Amy Brown. It'll load up on Thursday. Okay,
