Speaker 1 (00:00):
Katie, why do you look so surprised all the time.
It's one more thing, I'm strong Andy, One more thing
before we get to that. Joe wasn't on the radio
show yesterday because he's a druid and he had all
kinds of religious ceremonies he had to participate in for
the total eclipse, and but he's back today having sacrificed

(00:22):
a number of virgins into a volcano. I didn't know
why you still did that.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
I give thanks to Mother Earth, Father Moon, Uncle Sun,
and all of the beasts in the forests. Here's to you.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
But since you weren't on the show, you didn't hear
us talking about this yesterday. I just wanted to know
if you knew anything about this. The Wall Street Journal article.
Time to start typing like a grown up.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
I was.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I was kind of aware of this, but not really
aware of it. That for like the under thirty crowd,
using capital letters is really a sign that you're like old.
So you take the time to uncapitalize the first word
in every sentence because your iPhone probably capital for you,
but you go back and uncapitalize it because you're so droll,

(01:04):
You're so disaffected and uninterested in everything in life, all
of your texts have no capital letters.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
You're not going to be controlled by big.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Letter, right, and the Wall Street Journal pointing out that
people acknowledge that capitalizing letters is a rite of passage.
There are holdouts who don't want to do it, but
it's basically saying, if you want to get a job
at a company, you need to start using capital letters.
And people really resist it because that's like what mom
and grandma do. I don't want to use capital letters.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
If you were to at this moment chuckle and say
I just made all that up, I'd say, oh, okay, oh,
because this is so strange.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
And by my niece, my oldest niece's twenty five, I
noticed when she texts, she never has capital letters in
any of her texts. So, hmm, that's the thing. So
if you're if the if you come across that, that's
what's going on there. It's a symbol. It's just a
way to divide yourself from grown ups, which has always
been important for younger people like fully understand that.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Let's see, now, no periods. I've gotten used to uh huh.
I'm going back with my youngest kids text string and
definitely got all the proper capitals, but never a period
at the end of the last sentence.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, punctuation is out too.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
I'm just surprised there's an exclamation point.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
I'm just surprised because it seems like so much work
to have to like shift away from the capital that
it starts for you on purpose.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
But oh yes, it's to go back to delete and
then retype.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
That's yeah, a lot of work just to make sure
you don't look old. But anyway, so there's that and Katie.
The why do you look so surprised? Katie is a
joke about her new eyebrow tattoos, which she mentioned during
the show. So I don't know anything about eyebrow tattoos.
You're going to get them today. Is this a common thing?
Why do you do it? What does it cost? I

(02:58):
need all the ins and outs it is.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
It is relatively common. There's a few different ways you
can have it done. You can have them tattooed. There's
something called micro blading, which is similar to tattooing.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
And so I'm doing the tattooing today.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
So you mentioned that one of the reasons you want
to do it is so you don't have to tattoo
yourself every day before you come to work. Those those
eyebrows I'm looking at right now aren't real.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
They they're I mean, I have eyebrows, but I need
to fill them in regularly, and they they don't line
up properly and it drives me nuts. So yeah, I
draw them on every day at three o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
They don't line up properly.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
No, they don't. One like starts farther back than the
other and it just dies. I'm so sick of it.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
You're a monster. I can hardly look at you. Uh
huh wow.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Bridge troll.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
But eyebrowser eyebrows are hair, So isn't it gonna look
like Groucho Marx's mustache?

Speaker 4 (03:50):
No, So they they do the tattooing and microblading in
hair strokes, so it's it's a very fine needle and
they go in and they actually make it look like hair.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
So it'll look somewhat natural.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
But the healing process is going to be hilarious.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
So are you going to be wearing like big Yoko
Ono sunglasses tomorrow or what?

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I was debating a hat?

Speaker 4 (04:10):
But I'm not too sure how close I can get
to So I might just have to let you guys
stare at them.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Look at your open wounds. Yeah, yeah, losing open wounds
above your eyes.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
I'm so excited about this.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
I know it's it's probably sounds insane to you guys,
but the process of drawing them on and messing them
up and having to go back and redo them, it's
just at thirty five, I don't know how to draw
my eyebrows on.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
So this is going to be a huge timesaver.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, well, where do you get that? Will they move
with your face like s you can look surprised, or.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well it's on her skin your nine.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
No, they're like floating, so they stay while the rest
of my face is animated.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's like a filter on Google mets. Ah See. I've
never been a party girl, so all of this is
to me like, you know, like a tribe in the
Amazon that's had no contact with the modern worlds. Your
ways are foreign to me.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Well, not problems you guys would have. No, No, you
guys both have great eyebrows.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well I'm I am someone.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Who's started a mediocre at best, started.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Dyeing his goateee now and then, so I understand the
need to uh do something to your face. What is
this going to cost you?

Speaker 3 (05:21):
It's five hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
WHOA.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
But it's permanent.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
It's permanent, which I mean, if you think about it,
if you get a tattoo, like a really good one,
you're getting up in that range especially, you know, and
this is the permanent makeup. So I mean, people get
their their eye liner done, which I can't do. People
get their lipliner. My mom did her eyeliner and her
lip liner. I have no idea how she let a
needle that close to her eyeball.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah. I know some people that have done those, and
I don't dig it. So maybe there's probably, like everything else,
there's getting a really good version of it done and
not as good version depending on price. I don't know,
but I've known some people that did the permanent eye
eyeliner thing, and you just you look a little like
a raccoon.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Uh, it depends. You can always add more, you can't
go full. I'm Courtney Love at a nightclub to start,
I think, right, But.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
I am taking a risk because I mean I'm praying
to all that is holy that it doesn't get done,
and I'd hate it.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
The eyebrow makes more sense to me than the eyes
or the lips.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Actually, oh yeah, unless some sort of shaven headed look
becomes super hot in the future. I mean women shave
their eyebrows, shave their heads stisty.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
You don't notice what eyebrows do for your look until
you don't have them. When I was doing chemotherapy and
I lost all my hair and my eyebrows went away,
it's it makes you look weird.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, and people are shaving them off right now as
like a trend. I yeah, there's a girl I follow
on Instagram who shaves her eyebrows off, only to draw
them back on every day because she doesn't like how
they're placed.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Oh so she wants me in a different place.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
This is real life, guys.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Do we know why human beings have eyebrows?

Speaker 2 (07:11):
I think it's just part of the whole keeping stuff
out of your eyes, you know, multiple layers of protection.
I think it may be partly just to catch stuff
that would fall in your eyes, and partly for sensory reasons,
because where you have hair, anything that touches it, even
though it hasn't got your actual skin yet, you become aware.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Of animals kind of have eyebrows. You can feel them,
like on a dog or whatever.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
The Google is telling me that eyebrows help protect our
eyes from bright light.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Couple advisors, you gotta have a pretty heavy brow for
that to work.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Cavemany quick question, Katie, So if you do not like these,
is there a way to get them removed at all?
Or is it permanent? No matter what?

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Well, I mean, there's a there's touch removal, but no,
I'm pretty much screwed if I don't like.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Do you have to choose a color?

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Yeah? So, and the woman who does this is fantastic.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
I've seen a lot of her work, so I'm very
excited about this. But she's gonna go in look at
the color of my natural hair and do all of
that stuff that I don't know how to do and
line them up and.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Well, I wouldn't normally ask this, but is that your
natural hair color that we see every day? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, I'm like a dirtyish blonde.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Oh okay, So a lot of women have to spend
a lot of money to get their hair the color
your hair is naturally, that's handy. Yeah, okay, then you
get your eyebrows to match. I got it.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
And if you hate the look, you can just start
wearing a sweatband, a headband like John McEnroe in the
nineteen seventies, which is my third count third out of
date cultural reference this podcast. Thanks for coming.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
So now we are in the uncomfortable position since we
know you're getting this done, that we have to tomorrow
say oh it looks great.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
No you don't.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
I don't want that. If it doesn't work, I need
to know, so, oh.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Please not gonna be me. Besides, you know, a couple
of my kids have a handful of tattoos, and so
I know it takes a while before it looks good.
There's the whole healing process. Although with that microfid needle
you're talking about, it might be different. So I'm expecting
you to look like a boxer who had a rough night.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
They said that there can be bruising and that it
takes about ten days for it to look how it's
going to look. So this is going to be a
journey we're taking together.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Is this gonna is gonna have to have a card
to hand out? No, there's no domestic violence.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Right, no kidding? Have they told you?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Is this gonna hurt more than a regular tattoo. I've
been told it's painless.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Apparently she puts this lydakane cream over them and then
lets it sit for a while and does it mind.
My mom had it done and said that she didn't
feel a thing, So I don't know if that's my
sweet mother trying to comfort me or if it actually
is painless.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Are you a piercing's person?

Speaker 3 (09:57):
M Yeah, I have tattoos and piercings.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Okay, so this is not unfamiliar to you this sort
of time.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I'm thinking of getting a hairline tattooed like in roughly
the color of my hair as it is now, kind
of salt and pepper, but like the Eddie Munster, the
low like almost chimp like hairline.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
I'm gonna give you a hard no on that, Joe,
don't do that.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Could I get my bald head like tattooed to make
it look like there's hair?

Speaker 3 (10:25):
That is a thing that people are doing. Yes, Oh,
I have seen that.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
There is actually a business that just opened up in
my old hometown that specializes in that procedure where guys
are going in and having little black or whatever dots
done all over their head to make it look like
just a little bit of hair growth like a shadow.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, I might do that.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
That is doable.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
I could see doing that.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Do that dire goatee.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yeah, just knowing you, you'll like, read the first paragraph
of an article about it, then try to do it yourself.
Problem and the money, I'll lend you the money. Yeah,
what color hair?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Jack? Would you?

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Would you be a redhead?

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Or would you?

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:06):
I don't remember what color my hair was.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
You can get the pattern. You can just get a
stripe down the middle so it looks like a little mohawk.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Well, okay, well, we look forward to seeing how this
turns out tomorrow. Maybe we'll post pictures at the website.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
And that's why.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Let people comment. That's always a good idea.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
You could take a pole. Do these look like shit? Well,
good luck, Katie. I guess that's it.
