Speaker 1 (00:04):
Happy Tuesday. Welcome to the Fifth Thing. I'm Amy and
I'm Cat and our quote for today is actually from
our producer Houston. It's something that he shared with us.
He sent us a whole email full of quotes that
I guess he's been saving that he's seen or heard,
and he sent us one that said, it's just a
bad day, not a bad life. And he said he
couldn't remember where he heard it, so I googled it
(00:26):
and apparently it's a Johnny Depp quote, at least that's
from what I could find online. Johnny Depp once said, breathe,
It's just a bad day, not a bad life. And
I really didn't follow the Johnny Depp amber heard trial,
did you at all? Cat? I tried not to, but
you couldn't not it was and then I was invested,
(00:46):
but I was like, I actually don't even know what's
going on. I would just see clips on Instagram and
then we would talk about it on the Bobby Bones
Show here and there. But anyway, it's over, and I
guess justice for Johnny, he got it. But something that
made me L O L on Instagram. But then I
kind of also feel bad about because clearly there's just
some things going on that we don't know. And then
it felt weird knowing all of this stuff about their
(01:08):
very personal, intimate life. She did put a lot out
there and it did keep him from getting work. So
I do get why it was necessary for him to
clear his name, but I was just like, I don't
feel like publicly we should be knowing some of this stuff.
But Amber Heard clearly behaved in some ways that are
you know, it would be defined as crazy ish. And
(01:29):
there's this Instagram video I guess a lot of wives
or maybe making it, but they're kind of getting in
their car going into reverse and this one woman was
like sipping her coffee but driving, and the caption on
the reel or the video just said, me on my
way to show my husband some of this Amber Heard stuff,
because you know he's realized, right he really just so
(01:52):
that he realizes things could be worse. That's true, And
I'm like that that did make me laugh. Way, I
don't know why that they it was allowed to be public. Yeah,
I think because it was like there was defamation. I
don't know it was written she had written an article
and I know there's like liable and then definite nation.
Like I don't know the difference one slander slanders maybe said,
(02:14):
libels written. I don't know the legal jargon around it.
But a lot of like O J. Sent, a lot
of public cases are public. I didn't know that. I
was like, I felt like it was like intruding on there. Yeah,
I know, and it felt like O. J. Simpson's all
the things that come out staircase. Are you watching that
right now? But I don't know what that is. Well,
that's on HBO Max. It was a documentary that was
(02:35):
done years ago about a murder situation. If you think
he's guilty, but this guy's wife fell down the stairs.
But what's crazy is he lived in Germany years back,
and his neighbor there fell down the stairs and died.
And then his wife current wife that was with his
ex wife, did she die the other person yes, and
(02:56):
the wife yes, she's dead, and so they were the
only two people home. But anyway, it's back in the
spotlight because HBO Max did a scripted version of it,
you know how they reenact things, and I've been watching
that and like their whole trial back then, just things
that are very public. It's a good question. I don't
(03:17):
maybe somebody and I wonder that like a lot of
a lot more trials could be public, but nobody would
watch them because they're not famous people, right, Okay, I
mean I'm sure we could hit up the local courthouse
and see what's up, Like any videos you can watch
if you want to, or you could just walk into me, like, hey,
any cases I could sit in on today? I don't
know the what makes it a closed tearing versus open.
(03:38):
The public could just go. I could just show up
to Johnny Depp's trial and be like, is there any
room for me? Well, I don't know about I mean,
I'm sure that one's more you know, high profile, so
it's more difficult. But it's a great question as to why.
And I know we have lawyers that listen, hit us up,
let us know. So we're gonna do some rapid fire
questions from I did the little question box on my Instagram.
(03:59):
I'm Radio Amy if you want to follow there because
I like getting fast questions from there. People email into
the podcast and have more, you know, longer questions and
more in depth. Yes, but these these are supposed to
be rapid fire. But you know, if you've listened before,
some of them we answer super fast, but then others
(04:19):
we spend more time with. So these are some questions
that came in from that cat. You can read them
and then we can chime in. Okay, we're gonna call
this rapid fire ish good way, good way to put it. Okay,
are you ready fire away? Okay? What is your favorite
thing to do for self care slash favorite way to recharge?
(04:41):
I got multiple of these, Like there's muli like self
care tips like recharging, and I was like, oh, this
must be so I wanted to make sure to include
this one. But I would say for me, going for
a short walk outside or just being in the sun
in general, not too much of the sun because then
that can drain you. But just like a quick recharge situation,
(05:02):
if it's quick, then it's probably just me and I
try to be in silence, like take it all in.
But if I have time, then I can also be
recharged by walking with a friend or hiking. I like
being outdoors, maybe doing some breathing exercises, been doing that
to kind of energize, Like this I was gonna I expecting. Okay,
(05:32):
so there's energizing ones and well Samanthas Kelly was on
the podcast. She's a breathwork expert, but she also inspired me.
The whole conversation inspired me to just look on YouTube
for different videos to give me an exercise. And there
was this one that I found. I don't know who
posted it, but it was a two minute breathwork exercise
(05:53):
that was just like coffee. I did it in the
morning and I was like, oh, if I do this,
it's equivalent to drinking a cup of coffee. So I
don't know, type that into YouTube, see what comes up.
But you put your hands by your shoulders and make
a fist and then punch straight up into the air.
Maybe you blow out clearly. I don't remember the exact exercise,
but it was energizing. I was not expecting you to
(06:17):
do that. Now, that's calming. There's breathwork and for calming,
but this is for recharging. Got it? You inhale more
quick inhale, exhale more quickly. You know there's different breath
work for different vibes. Okay, because you can you can
breathe to sleep, you can breathe to wake up, you
can breathe to calm, you can breathe to survive. You
(06:39):
have to do all the things. Cryotherapy is another thing
that I do as part of my wellness routine to recharge,
and that's a form of my self care. I go
inside this box for three minutes and it's negative two.
And I happen to live near a cry o place.
I know that that's not It's becoming more and more popular,
but I know that's not something everybody has near them,
(07:00):
or it's a resource they can even you know, do.
But it's an investment that I've made in myself because
it has helped I use my chiropractor less. So I'm like, okay,
well I just transferred that money to there. But then
this has other benefits for me mentally that have been
really good, other than just you know, helping my tension
in my neck and my shoulders. I just emerged from
there like a new person. A more intense ice bath.
(07:23):
But you're standing up right. You go inside this box.
Have you never done that? I've seen it. I don't
think I could do it. You could, you could do it.
Do you take cold showers? Oh? I do. I love
a good cold showers. I do. The only thing I
do is the face roller, and that takes a lot
from me. To do. But I like it, but I
don't think. Yeah, that's another form of self care is
the ice roller. You can buy those on Amazon and
(07:45):
you just keep it in the freezer and whenever you
want to ice your face, roller roll. Okay. So also
another thing I was thinking that is a form of
self care for me is laughter. And we've been watching
a ton of America's funny sotme videos here and my
kids love it. Is that so going or they're old? No,
they're still going? Carlton from Fresh Friends, Really he doesn't.
(08:05):
I don't know. Well, I have no idea. If they're old,
I'm still watching it though I could see from dude,
that's I'm fine. No, that was Bob Saggett. Yeah he
was back then, I know. Rest in peace, going back
to being in the sun. Something that I also was
doing this last weekend was going to get sunlight upon waking.
(08:25):
It's very Why did okay because it feels very That's
how it feels when I'm doing it. Kids, sunlight up
waking upon waking wave from the colonial days. Yes, that
is that is basically you're trying to go back to
what it was like two years ago. That being said,
(08:47):
my kids are thinking I'm crazy because now once the
sun goes down, I want to only live by candle
light before bedtime because I have just not been sleeping
that well and I'm like, something's up. I'm doing all
these other things and sleep hasn't always been a major
issue for me, and at times when it has, I've
had to intervene with other things, which I think is
(09:09):
totally appropriate if you need pills or I don't do
well with melatonin though at all. It Actually melatonin has
the opposite effect on me either. If I take the
right amount and do actually end up falling asleep, I
wake up feeling really groggy and horrible. If I take
too much, it's just really bad. But if I don't
go to sleep within thirty minutes of taking it, my
(09:31):
mind starts racing and I can't go to sleep. So
it is interesting, and then I sometimes be like, Okay,
I'll have a glass of wine. But then the quality
(09:52):
of sleep you're getting through that is not great at all.
And you know, you might think that it is because
you're able to fall asleep, but there's a lot happening
in your body that's all subconscious. You don't realize all
the ways that you're you need that precious time, you
need that rim cycle sleep, and I don't think I'm
really getting there. So anyway, all this to say, I
(10:12):
was listening to the Sleep podcast when I got my
lashes done the other day and I didn't even pick
it out. My last person A needed and she always
has the best things to listen to, and she was like,
I found the Sleep Doctor and will listen to it,
and so we did. And he was very scientific. So
a lot of it was like all the parts of
our eye that I don't know. I just know, like eyeball,
(10:35):
the white part of the eye, the cult, the iris,
the pupil, like the different but he went weigh next, look,
it's like the inside of the eye that like in
the brain, all the different connectors your eyes connected to
your magdala to talk about that, we'll look at you. Yes,
I'm sure he did. Okay, I don't remember all the things.
But then even I was talking to my father in
(10:55):
law about it because he was a fighter pilot in
the Air Force and my husband was a pilot as well.
But he's lie think about it. He's like in the
cockpit or flight deck PC, that's where the pilots are
flying the airplane, so it used to be called the cockpit.
I don't call it that anyone, because I don't I
think that was because men were in there flying and
now and then really well, I listen, I just heard
(11:17):
the PC way to say it is flight deck. So
we might need to do a search history on why.
But it's kind of like we're learning now and it's
something you just say, I don't know where you're like, oh,
this is my room, this is the master bathroom, that's
not isn't that primary? Now? Primary room? And my sister
taught me that. You know, they do decorating in different things,
(11:38):
and when they started filming for HDTV, it's not something
that they've ever thought about, like reaching the masses, because
normally you're just saying, oh, yeah, master bedroom, and until
you've heard it, then you can't hear it and you're like,
oh wow, yeah, I'm not a master to any slaves.
And that's actually really horrible that we're calling it the
master bedroom. So now we call it the primary bedroom.
(11:59):
And some people are like, I never knew that's where
that came from. Yeah, me neither until my sister told me.
And if other of you have been way ahead of us,
then that's awesome for you. But maybe some other people
are hearing this for the first time, and I think
it's just something to think about when we're thinking of
what we call things. So we way back to the
flight deck, he said, You'll notice if you ever see
instruments when pilots are flying at night, the back light
(12:21):
everything that's lit up is red and that is an
okay light for your eyes to see in the dark,
as opposed to like a white light, right, and so
like a fire would be an okay light to see.
So if I wanted to live by candle light before
I went to bed, it wouldn't disrupt anything. So I
don't know, I totally detorted the whole pilot thing. But
(12:44):
the film red films on all of your light bulbs, yeah,
or you can go order red light bulbs, he said
in the podcast, that you can put in like your
night stand, so that way, when you decide to turn
on that light or different lamps around your house, you
can turn off all the overheads and just turn on
your red lamp lights and then that will give you
or give your body the signal of like, hey, you
(13:05):
can start going to sleep. But back to the morning
light when you expose yourself. This is me paraphrasing what
the sleep doctor said from memory, which was a few
days ago. When you expose yourself to the morning light,
you were telling your body to start producing whatever it
needs to produce to help you with melatonin later. So
(13:25):
it jumps starts that process to prepare you for nighttime sleep.
But you need to go out there and get it.
There's other ways to get it, real light, there's other
ways if you can't get into the sunlight that you
could get it if you wanted to. But like my
week days, I can't because I have to be the
Bobby Bones show too early. But Saturday and Sunday this
last weekend, I went outside upon waking for my light
(13:48):
and I took my four Things Gratitude journal and I
woke up and I went outside to my backyard and
I sat down. I opened my journal, and I while
I journaled, I my Boddy absorbed light and prepared me.
Why are you? I don't know, because I know it
sounds weird, and I never try it. Whenever I tell
(14:10):
my kids, like you just wait, we're about to be
the house that like when it the sun goes down
candles on massad Town Latin candles so I can sleep,
and the whole world will be jealous because I'm just
all about whatever it takes to get I'm signed me up.
(14:30):
We're doing things all kinds of wrong because we have
light at our fingertips, and we want to watch TV,
and we want to check our emails, and we want
to be on our phones. But I just I'm gonna
start shutting it down. What did the doctors say about
TV before? Boy? No, no, no, no, don't do it.
We'll wear the blue light blockers, which I have but
I don't always. I felt like the blue light blockers
(14:51):
were like an urban legend, like I I heard people
that said that they don't really do much, but they do,
so he said, because sometimes I wear them and sometimes
they don't. So I'm like, am I am? I just
like joking with myself. I don't know when I say.
This guy sounded super smart. That's podcast I wish I could,
but Amy found it. I'll have to ask for for it.
I don't know. I'll report back, but he just know
(15:12):
he sounded just. He has dedicated his life's work to sleep,
and he definitely mentioned those glasses, and but he also
said the ideal thing is to get your red lamp
light bulb and put that on and read a book
and then go to bed. That is your nighttime entertainment.
I want to read a book, guy, I have to
(15:34):
do it. So anyway, that being said, sleep is also
another way that I plan to recharge. So we've not
even gotten through. How is that for rapid fire? All right?
Can you post a link to jeans from the Pimp
and Joy photo shoot? Okay, I can't post a link.
I guess I could in the show notes. Let me
(15:56):
think about that. Let me write a note right here
post link so I'll put something in the show notes.
But if you don't want to go there, you can
just google Cassie super high Rise, straight crop Blossom distressed
jeans and the brand is Pistola Pistola. I think that's
how you say it, Pistola Pistola. Pistola seems better and
(16:19):
it seems more right than pistola. But I also don't know,
probably right pistola. Why am I making it Spanish pistola? Okay,
it's probably pistola, denim. I have no idea, but it's
p I S. T O l A and I have
a few Pistola Pistola items. I have some denim shorts
(16:42):
and a couple of pairs of jeans. There's a boutique
on my house that sells this brand, and I am
really disappointed in my purchase, so I recommend y'all checking
them out. Another denim brand that I love is a Goldie.
I have no idea how to say that. I knew
you're going to say that one a Goldie, but some
people say a gold but it's a Goldie. Maybe maybe
it's a well, listen, we don't know, but it's a
(17:03):
G O L D E. Why can't they just have
like a normal name. I don't know. I think Citizens
of Humanity owns gold Day gold. It's like they're low.
They're Goldie is still expensive, but it's not as expensive
expensive I think. So it's like under their umbrella, but
it's supposed to be like a step down kind of
like Zara and well Arista, what's that store? Yeah, connected,
(17:27):
they're not, They're not at all, I don't think, But
I that's how I defined like Zara and then Aritzia
is like the expensive. It's like the next level of
Zara and before Zara's I don't know what's before that,
forever twenty one or something, but they're not they're also
not connection. Yeah, So anyway, I know you were just
asking about the denim jeans, So we're going to practice
(17:49):
answering quickly and just google those because they're my favorite
jeans right now and I probably get a feeling to
people asking and the Pimp and Joy photo shoot. The
Pimp and Joy items went up last week to help
build a home a hero. All the proceeds are going
to Building Homes for Heroes, which is an amazing nonprofit
that works with so many veterans that are like our
veteran that we're supporting this year. He's in a wheelchair,
(18:12):
noncommunicative from a brain injury, spinal cord injury. He's got
a wife and a son, and they're completely gutting his
house and redoing it too so he can move around easier.
It just needs a lot of work. So that is
where the money is going. You can still shop Pimp Joy.
The shop for dot com slash Pimp and Joy or
Radio Amy is a way where you can find stuff
and there's a lot of cute, red, white and blue
(18:33):
patriotic options. That you'll get in time for Fourth of
July if you order a S A P. Through the
different veterans. We've supported this our fifth one, so hundreds
of thousands of dollars have gone to building homes for
heroes and then this round. I think we're maybe at
seventy right now, so in like a week unless than
it launched on Friday, we might even be above that
because honestly, and Kat and I are recording this on Sunday,
(18:55):
so I know it's crazy. We have amazing listeners and
just saying y'all so much for that support and pimp
and joy which is all about spreading joy to others,
which is exactly what y'all are doing. Next question, Let's
see how fast I can do this one? All right?
(19:20):
What saving your life right now? The salad chopper the
XO Wait, do you have one of those big bowls
the chopped O XO grips or whatever is the brand.
They have it at Target and on Amazon. But it
comes with a bowl and it's almost looks like a
pizza slicer, but it's double and it's for salads because
I love a chopped salad and when it's hot out
(19:42):
I eat more salads. And that's saving my life right
now because I used to just cut everything with a
knife and a fork, and the salad chopper is just
so exciting. You do it really faster. I have to
be careful now with knives because I cut my finger open.
Yeah you haven't seen it, have you know? Now it's better, Okay,
I was cutting a bagel. Oh yeah, I thought I
(20:02):
had to. You almost lost your thumb. I didn't look
at it for four days because I thought I might
have to get my thumb taken off. Fun fact, I
have a scar right here on my thumb from when
I was a kid. It was from a potato peeler.
Look at us not being able cut cut her peel.
And then the salad chopper thing makes me think of
the restaurant you love to eat out a lot, Chopped. Yes,
that's what I was saying. That's what it reminds me off.
(20:23):
So if anybody, if you all have a Chopped near you,
look it up because it is such a great place.
I took my in laws to Chopped the other night
when they flew in. I picked him up from the
airport and they were like, we really would like a
salad or I just knew they would really like a salad,
so I just took them there so good and it
was yummy. Okay, keep going, all right, what mass scara
do you use? I mentioned a minute ago that I
(20:44):
have LASH extensions, so I get lashes from Amy, who's
the founder of Lash. There's a lot of Lash places
in Nashville, but she was like the O g one.
It's called Lash. It's on Elliston, like in Weston, near
the Vanderbilt area. But she's great. So she's my Lash person.
And I used to hate lashes before I met her
because everyone always made them way too long, and I
(21:04):
don't like the over. She'll put the I get the
shortest option available put on so they look natural. So
that's probably why sometimes people ask what mascar I use?
Because they look like they're just my lashes. Did you
ever use this growing stuff yalatis? Or it burned my
eyes so bad I tried to use it, so I
(21:25):
gave up after about two weeks. Dime, which is I
you put mascre on my lower and then I use
the eyebrow gel thing too, And there's this The brand
is Dime like d I m E. And they have
a lash conditioner and that should help them grow. You
maybe want to try that, And that's what I used
their maskcre on my bottom. But then I use their
(21:47):
eyebrow gel as well, which is conditioning and helping to
hopefully grow my brows because I have no brows. My
sister Kim, who's my half sister, she sent me a
picture from my wedding the other day. She was going
through old photos and she found a picture of me,
Bobby and lunch box and this isn't two thousand and six,
and I have on my wedding day, I had like
jet black hair almost and no eyebrows. Because let me
(22:09):
draw you. I'm gonna draw you my eyebrow right now.
Look at the paper. It's just one line. It's because
you overplucked, yes, like back in the day. Yeah, which
you look like you have a lot of eyebrows because
I got a Megan by Megan micro bladed them and
then now I put the doe. I grow them with
the I try to put jails on them to take
care of them and nourish them and grow them because
(22:31):
they were very sad. Do you think that's going to
come back in style? Though? If it does, I am
not participating. Hear me, now, I am not participating because
in two thousand and six, that was probably me trying
to have brows because I plucked them in the two thousand's,
like when I graduated, even my my college graduation picture
two thousand three. Oh, but that was cool. It was
(22:54):
I also had on white eyeliner. I know. Things I
used are a lot of silver eyeshadow, a lot. Yeah. Okay,
next question. Okay, this is a great question. What is
a benefit of recovery that you didn't expect to find?
Kat said, it's a great question because she submitted it
in the question box you can see who the questions
are coming from. But I actually did think it was
a great question. It made me think of going to
(23:16):
your lake house the other day because we had so
much fun. It was last weekend and the kids had
a great time. But also that's an example of how
I was able to have a great time and show
up and be present with family and friends and kids
because my husband and I gave our kids a yesterday
that day with boundaries, but in a nutshell, they pretty
(23:36):
much got whatever they asked for, like when it came
to candy food, even me doing things with them like to.
Shara wanted to tube, but she wanted to tube fast.
So I said yes to that, even though I wanted
a tube moderately slow, because that is enough for me.
My dad did not listen to well to, Shara wanted
to go fast, and so that my dog is choking
(23:58):
over there. It's fun. So then Stevenson wanted a kayak,
and y'all were all hanging out on the deck and
it was after we got off the boat and we
were tired, and I just wanted to chill on the
deck and have a drink. But I went kayaking with
my son while y'all did that, and you know what,
I said yes to it because it was yesterday. And
then dinner came, and you know, we had crumble cookies
and we had your mom made these sweet potatoes, and
(24:19):
there was chicken and steak and this some broccoli salad
with a bunch of mayonnaise in it, and it was amazing.
I didn't eat the broccolis home, well, I did. I
love hate and I love it. So my point is
the yesterday at the lake was so much more enjoyable
in recovery because I was able to have those moments
with my kids without my brain thinking about what I
(24:40):
couldn't eat, or thinking about what I was gonna eat,
or stressing about the dinner we were gonna have when
we got back to the house. My brain wasn't occupied
with food at all. My brain was occupied with us
in the moment, what we were doing and being present.
And if your brain is currently just thinking about food
all day long, I get it. You're not alone. There's
(25:01):
nothing weird about that. It's actually very normal when you
have an eating disorder, or you're in a disordered eating cycle,
or you have body image issues stuff like that. So CAT,
to answer your question, a benefit that I didn't expect
to find was all this freedom in my brain and
this room to have like a fun day at the lake,
because for so many years I just didn't even think
(25:21):
that was possible. I just thought, this is how I live.
My brain is going to always be occupied with this,
and I guess I didn't expect it because I didn't
know it was possible. That's a good answer. Good job,
good job. Let's try to do one more. This is
quick favorite, showed to Binge. I mean, should a band
at any time? Like I can watch Friends over and
over obviously, and just have that on. But right now
(25:42):
I'm been binging hacks on HBO Max. Never heard of it. Oh,
it's so good about it's a comedian and she's older,
kind of. I don't want to give too much away,
but I guess a little bit. It's a nice way
to sign. Yeah, it's scripted. I don't know. Nice always
say it like she's like a washed up older comedian.
Had her day, but she's out trying to get it back.
(26:04):
She lost her residency in Vegas and so she's hired.
Her agent has hooked her up with a young writer
and then they are working together, the older and the young,
and then they kind of clash. But it's funny and
I have like a sweet relationship. How did you decide
to watch that? I would never just how I guess
she was. I like, don't know how to start a
new show because I don't know there's so many shows.
(26:25):
It's like which one is good and which one is back? Right?
Or I'm telling you has is good because it's funny.
It's like light and finding that because the show that
I've been watching is not light. Well, yeah, I cried
harder than I have cried probably in the last year.
On Friday night watching Stranger Things. But I thought you
didn't like Stranger Things. I don't like it, but I'm
(26:45):
committed to it because I've already invested so much time
in letting it emotionally affect you. Yes, I was a wreck,
like snot like hyper ventilitin almost it was very sad.
So I don't recommend. Okay, yeah, well check out. Do
you have HBO Mac Yeah, okay, good, Okay, than problem.
And if you don't have HBO Max, get it because
(27:05):
remember that's where my Christmas movie is gonna be come.
I don't know November December. You're gonna need to get
it anyway, And there's honestly so much good stuff. That's
where you watch Friends too. HBO Max is the friends person.
Stop homework. You're going to watch Stranger Things with your boyfriend,
but you're not going to go be a friends person
because it's amazing. I feel like it's too late. It's
(27:27):
not too late. It's not too late. I've gone back
and started the whole thing over multiple times, and there's
still stuff that I've still have to start from the beginning.
How many episode one? There's ten? I think nine or ten? Ten.
Next question oh oh, this is a good one. Favorite perfume,
Baccarat rouget. I'm so glad you said, because I never
(27:50):
knew how to say it. Is that really how you
say it? Listen? I was saying pistole, So who knows baccarat? Wait?
I think pistole pistol. Oh, now I don't even know
what it gets. Yeah, you're probably asking the wrong person,
but I think it's Bakarat by forty. The only problem
is it's stupid expensive. But like, once you Bokarat, you
can't go back, and so you can ask for it
(28:12):
as gifts. You can get gift cards, you can get
like I have a friend Cat, not you, Cat, a
different cat, And she found it on sale at Nordstrom
in the travel size the other day, and she called
me and she was like, hey, I'm gonna buy the
travel size, but it comes with three Like do you
want to buy one? So I bought one off of her,
Like can we split it three ways? So it made
it and then just one score and you're good to go.
(28:35):
But then Cat, you also found it on like a knockoff.
It's one of those dupes. Yeah, And like, I don't
know if I should be promoting this because it's like,
is it like copyright? I don't know what is it
called when people do that trademark whatever. Anyway, it is
saved my life because I would be the person that
would overspend on perfume because it's all so good and
it's like forty dollars on this website all favorite fragrances.
(28:58):
We don't have to. I mean, I have no idea
the rules and realities around trademarking a smell, but yeah,
it's a smell. It's a smell, So that's an option.
I'm sure you could just google bakarat Rouge five forty
knockoff off and see if I found this on TikTok
and if you're a Santa person, I also like that perfume.
They have a knockoff for that too. Okay, um, gonna
(29:19):
do another one? Yeah, why not keep going? Who cares
current coffee order? Oh? I got a lot of people
asking that, and I'm like, what is so interesting to
people about knowing other people's coffee order? Well, because sometimes
you have interesting hacks, like when with your pumpkin cream
you had that whole thing, or you would order and
then save the cream. But I would like to change
this question a little bit. What is your go to
normal standard coffee order? And then like your current do
(29:42):
you have anything like different? Okay, well, someone had asked
if I had a d C T and I didn't
know what that meant, so luckily in parentheses they put
Delicious Coffee Treat DCT. So I guess my normal coffee
order is a standard almond milk latte, probably with an
extra shot, because why not. And right now, because it's hot,
(30:02):
I'm getting iced, very into iced in the winter. I
like hot. And if I'm taking it up a level
to call it a treat or whatever we want to
call it, then I guess I'll add the cold foam
cream or whatever they call it at Starbucks, which is
normally flavored. During the you know fall, I like to
get the pumpkin spice, like you mentioned, and the hack
around that was sometimes they put a lot on tops.
(30:25):
When you get home, get a spoon and scrape it
into a container and put in your fridge and use
it the next day, boom, and just make it at
home free. And then they have a caramel one, which
I guess caramel cream, like a caramel cold foam cream
thing that just scoops on top like you can get.
I'll go and get maybe an iced Americano or something.
(30:47):
It's really creamy, so I guess I don't even need
the almond milk, and then I would get that on top.
That's a d c T for me. Yeah, what about you.
I always get the same coffee and almond milk latte.
Whether it's hotter cold is depending on the weather. But
I am a new coffee drinker, so I don't really
go outside of the box much. I do love the
coconut almond creamer from Trader Joe's and I'll froth that
(31:11):
in the morning and put it on my coffee. Oh yeah,
I might have to try that Trader Joe's brand. Yeah,
and I can I tell you a little story about
my frouther Yeah. I don't know if I told you this,
but the other day I was out of creamer and
I was also out of almond milk, so I couldn't
make anything to put in my coffee. I don't really
love black coffee, so I was like, I have ice cream,
and ice cream is like cream when it's melted. Yeah,
(31:33):
wouldn't you think that would work? Yes? Yeah, so I
put it in my frother, and it started like making
noise and then it was finished and then it was
just brown, and my whole frother on the inside was burnt.
The whole rim of my stainless steel frother was burnt.
It smells like cotton candy, like that burning sugar. So
this is a life hack as well. Do not ever
(31:55):
put ice cream in your milk frother. Why would you
think that happened? Isn't that weirdar? Maybe because there's too
much sugar, I don't know, or there's some yeah granule,
Like if I ever sprinkle cinnamon into my frother, it
won't spin. Wait really yeah, it's like it picks up
on it. Even though you think it's so fine, it's
just disrupting the like it's not meant for that. So
(32:17):
there might have been an ingredient thing. It might have
been vanilla bean, So maybe that's just a little like
that's what caused it. It was disrupting the I was
so upset. I had to buy a new Thank god,
it my whole new thing. I spot a new what
is it called container? Yeah, so just as long as
you use the ice cream that has no vanilla bean
in it, because those little black little vanesccns they were
getting stuck in there. I bet you're welcome. I think
(32:38):
I'm glad I told the story. You're welcome. I feel
very smart right now. Okay, do you want to do
another question? Um, let's do one final question. Yeah, we'll
just put We'll put these on a future episode, the
ones we didn't get to. Okay, what is your favorite
activity or thing to do in the summer? I mean,
I love hiking, and my favorite thing is to go
(32:58):
to Colorado and hike. And my sister in Colorado, so
we typically go there every summer. We have like a
place to say Pacosa's Spring shout out. And Colorado is
just the most amazing place. If you can go to
Colorado in the summer. Would you all probably even hear
me on this podcast do commercials for the state of Colorado.
That's how passionate I am about Colorado. Like I've been
going there since I was a kid, and I love it.
(33:20):
It's just what made you move there, just because of
her husband been going there since he was a kid.
His parents have a second home there. They would ski
and winter and you know, hike and fish and fly
fish and do all the things in the summer, and
they were they just wanted to get out of Austin
their kids. They wanted to raise them in a smaller
town and have a simpler life. And then that's what's
(33:41):
so comical that now they've been on HDTV. Their season's over,
by the way, but we'll find out soon if they're
going to get a season two. But my sister is like,
we came here for a simpler life, and now there's
camera people everywhere and sound guys, but it's fun. It's
still a simpler life for sure. And they're not in
like this rat race game that would have been in Austin.
(34:01):
Like the particular high school they were going to be
at is very keep up with everybody for the kids,
and even sports are super competitive, and they're like, we
just don't want to do this anymore. We're out. It
was after my mom died too, and I think my
sister just had like a different shift in perspective. My
sister's husbands always wanted to be in Colorado. That is
where he thrives, he's his happiest. But I think my
sister was like, I don't know if I would to
(34:22):
live there. And then there's something about losing someone. They
can give you a different perspective to do something. And
then are you lake or beach person in the summer?
Maybe you have to choose. You have to choose right now. Like, okay,
me too, because I like activities. I don't I like
to lay out. But like I just went to the
beach a couple of weekends ago and I literally was like,
(34:45):
can we play a game? Can we play a game?
What can we do? Now? Can we play a game?
Because I can't just sit there in the sand and
then the salt sand is everywhere? Yeah, which after going
to your lake house, Tashira now wants to buy a
lake house as a business invest meant and airbnb it Wow,
okay that's actually people airbnb there lighthouses over there, right,
(35:06):
But I mean she's fifteen. Is someone going to give
her a mortgage? What's her down payment? I'm like, okay,
great plan, babe. What she did ask my brother if
he would give her a discount on a house? She's
get a discount. He's like, why, oh yeah, because cats
family they build houses the fat to building and builders
(35:26):
Wilding defatos defat custom homes, so they do that in
around Nashville, but also out of the lake where you
all are, because you know you'll are there. And yes,
she was like discount. I'm like, okay, even if you
hustle him for a discount, you still can't afford a
light house. She's like, but I'm going to airbnb it,
(35:48):
And I said, okay, who's going to clean it? You're
gonna hire a company. You have to give them a percentage.
I mean, that's a that's a great way to do it,
but you have to know that you're already getting ten
percent or more. Who know, I don't know the rates
are going to a company. And then you've got to
rent it out. Who's monitoring that? The schedule, the calendar.
She's like, oh my gosh, Mom, I have school. And
I'm like, yeah, so, but I love that she's always hustily,
(36:12):
but she's always thinking of a plan and like a
way to make money. Did I ever tell you how
she was? I know I said this on the Bobby
Bones Show, but towards the end of school summer break now,
but she was taking the fare again to school and
charging people a dollar a minute they would offense. She
was like giving it to the athletes and they were
all sore her. All right, we'll keep doing that the
(36:33):
light house. Do you want to invest in her late
house business? Honestly I would. I would consider it if
if I had money to invest. Yeah, okay, all right,
well you listen. Cat and I did not even get
to the all the questions we planned. We fail you
when it comes to rapid fire, but we hope you
enjoyed today's episode. And on Thursday's episode, Heads up, Donald
(36:54):
Miller is going to be on. He is an amazing author.
We're going to be in person because he lives near Nashville.
And Cat is actually going to join me for that interview.
She's not normally on my Four Things episodes, but I
know you're a fan of his work as well, so
we're going to do it together. So excited, Yes, can't
wait for that. And then Father's Day shopping is in
full force. If you're wanting anything that gives back from
(37:17):
the Shop Forward, then I recommend you do that a
sap like if you're over there checking out Pimp Enjoy anyway,
you can go see what the Shop Forward has up.
I've got Dad Joke shirts which are super cute, and
those are benefiting a youth center in California that's doing
amazing work. And then over on the Spua side of
the shop forward, we have cool Dad and born Your Hats,
which I gave Cat's boyfriend a born your hat is
(37:38):
his birthday the other day, I won't say the year.
Do you know that? He didn't realize you are robbing
the cradle, did he? He didn't realize that. Later I
was like, you know what this means? And he was like, oh,
I was wondering why it said the year, and I
was like, yes, it's the year you were born. It's
a born your hat. We have all kinds of years
and you can get if you've got a dad or
(37:59):
a husband or whatever father you're shopping for, you can
get their year and then they get it. We included
three fun facts from that year, and so it's fun
to just like to see what those were. Thanks. And
then my sister actually helped curate that list when we
were building it, because we were doing each year, and
she helped put together the fun facts from the years,
and there's a little sticker with those on it. And
(38:21):
then cool Dad stuff. All the things are up everything
we found at the shop for dot com and just
type in maybe the search bar, whatever it is that
you're looking for, and there's some really amazing Father's Day
gifts that give back, and yeah, we'll see you on
Thursday for Donald Miller, all right, and that's our show.
Thank thank you, okay b
Happy Tuesday. Welcome to the Fifth Thing. I'm Amy and
I'm Cat and our quote for today is actually from
our producer Houston. It's something that he shared with us.
He sent us a whole email full of quotes that
I guess he's been saving that he's seen or heard,
and he sent us one that said, it's just a
bad day, not a bad life. And he said he
couldn't remember where he heard it, so I googled it
(00:26):
and apparently it's a Johnny Depp quote, at least that's
from what I could find online. Johnny Depp once said, breathe,
It's just a bad day, not a bad life. And
I really didn't follow the Johnny Depp amber heard trial,
did you at all? Cat? I tried not to, but
you couldn't not it was and then I was invested,
(00:46):
but I was like, I actually don't even know what's
going on. I would just see clips on Instagram and
then we would talk about it on the Bobby Bones
Show here and there. But anyway, it's over, and I
guess justice for Johnny, he got it. But something that
made me L O L on Instagram. But then I
kind of also feel bad about because clearly there's just
some things going on that we don't know. And then
it felt weird knowing all of this stuff about their
(01:08):
very personal, intimate life. She did put a lot out
there and it did keep him from getting work. So
I do get why it was necessary for him to
clear his name, but I was just like, I don't
feel like publicly we should be knowing some of this stuff.
But Amber Heard clearly behaved in some ways that are
you know, it would be defined as crazy ish. And
(01:29):
there's this Instagram video I guess a lot of wives
or maybe making it, but they're kind of getting in
their car going into reverse and this one woman was
like sipping her coffee but driving, and the caption on
the reel or the video just said, me on my
way to show my husband some of this Amber Heard stuff,
because you know he's realized, right he really just so
(01:52):
that he realizes things could be worse. That's true, And
I'm like that that did make me laugh. Way, I
don't know why that they it was allowed to be public. Yeah,
I think because it was like there was defamation. I
don't know it was written she had written an article
and I know there's like liable and then definite nation.
Like I don't know the difference one slander slanders maybe said,
(02:14):
libels written. I don't know the legal jargon around it.
But a lot of like O J. Sent, a lot
of public cases are public. I didn't know that. I
was like, I felt like it was like intruding on there. Yeah,
I know, and it felt like O. J. Simpson's all
the things that come out staircase. Are you watching that
right now? But I don't know what that is. Well,
that's on HBO Max. It was a documentary that was
(02:35):
done years ago about a murder situation. If you think
he's guilty, but this guy's wife fell down the stairs.
But what's crazy is he lived in Germany years back,
and his neighbor there fell down the stairs and died.
And then his wife current wife that was with his
ex wife, did she die the other person yes, and
(02:56):
the wife yes, she's dead, and so they were the
only two people home. But anyway, it's back in the
spotlight because HBO Max did a scripted version of it,
you know how they reenact things, and I've been watching
that and like their whole trial back then, just things
that are very public. It's a good question. I don't
(03:17):
maybe somebody and I wonder that like a lot of
a lot more trials could be public, but nobody would
watch them because they're not famous people, right, Okay, I
mean I'm sure we could hit up the local courthouse
and see what's up, Like any videos you can watch
if you want to, or you could just walk into me, like, hey,
any cases I could sit in on today? I don't
know the what makes it a closed tearing versus open.
(03:38):
The public could just go. I could just show up
to Johnny Depp's trial and be like, is there any
room for me? Well, I don't know about I mean,
I'm sure that one's more you know, high profile, so
it's more difficult. But it's a great question as to why.
And I know we have lawyers that listen, hit us up,
let us know. So we're gonna do some rapid fire
questions from I did the little question box on my Instagram.
(03:59):
I'm Radio Amy if you want to follow there because
I like getting fast questions from there. People email into
the podcast and have more, you know, longer questions and
more in depth. Yes, but these these are supposed to
be rapid fire. But you know, if you've listened before,
some of them we answer super fast, but then others
(04:19):
we spend more time with. So these are some questions
that came in from that cat. You can read them
and then we can chime in. Okay, we're gonna call
this rapid fire ish good way, good way to put it. Okay,
are you ready fire away? Okay? What is your favorite
thing to do for self care slash favorite way to recharge?
(04:41):
I got multiple of these, Like there's muli like self
care tips like recharging, and I was like, oh, this
must be so I wanted to make sure to include
this one. But I would say for me, going for
a short walk outside or just being in the sun
in general, not too much of the sun because then
that can drain you. But just like a quick recharge situation,
(05:02):
if it's quick, then it's probably just me and I
try to be in silence, like take it all in.
But if I have time, then I can also be
recharged by walking with a friend or hiking. I like
being outdoors, maybe doing some breathing exercises, been doing that
to kind of energize, Like this I was gonna I expecting. Okay,
(05:32):
so there's energizing ones and well Samanthas Kelly was on
the podcast. She's a breathwork expert, but she also inspired me.
The whole conversation inspired me to just look on YouTube
for different videos to give me an exercise. And there
was this one that I found. I don't know who
posted it, but it was a two minute breathwork exercise
(05:53):
that was just like coffee. I did it in the
morning and I was like, oh, if I do this,
it's equivalent to drinking a cup of coffee. So I
don't know, type that into YouTube, see what comes up.
But you put your hands by your shoulders and make
a fist and then punch straight up into the air.
Maybe you blow out clearly. I don't remember the exact exercise,
but it was energizing. I was not expecting you to
(06:17):
do that. Now, that's calming. There's breathwork and for calming,
but this is for recharging. Got it? You inhale more
quick inhale, exhale more quickly. You know there's different breath
work for different vibes. Okay, because you can you can
breathe to sleep, you can breathe to wake up, you
can breathe to calm, you can breathe to survive. You
(06:39):
have to do all the things. Cryotherapy is another thing
that I do as part of my wellness routine to recharge,
and that's a form of my self care. I go
inside this box for three minutes and it's negative two.
And I happen to live near a cry o place.
I know that that's not It's becoming more and more popular,
but I know that's not something everybody has near them,
(07:00):
or it's a resource they can even you know, do.
But it's an investment that I've made in myself because
it has helped I use my chiropractor less. So I'm like, okay,
well I just transferred that money to there. But then
this has other benefits for me mentally that have been
really good, other than just you know, helping my tension
in my neck and my shoulders. I just emerged from
there like a new person. A more intense ice bath.
(07:23):
But you're standing up right. You go inside this box.
Have you never done that? I've seen it. I don't
think I could do it. You could, you could do it.
Do you take cold showers? Oh? I do. I love
a good cold showers. I do. The only thing I
do is the face roller, and that takes a lot
from me. To do. But I like it, but I
don't think. Yeah, that's another form of self care is
the ice roller. You can buy those on Amazon and
(07:45):
you just keep it in the freezer and whenever you
want to ice your face, roller roll. Okay. So also
another thing I was thinking that is a form of
self care for me is laughter. And we've been watching
a ton of America's funny sotme videos here and my
kids love it. Is that so going or they're old? No,
they're still going? Carlton from Fresh Friends, Really he doesn't.
(08:05):
I don't know. Well, I have no idea. If they're old,
I'm still watching it though I could see from dude,
that's I'm fine. No, that was Bob Saggett. Yeah he
was back then, I know. Rest in peace, going back
to being in the sun. Something that I also was
doing this last weekend was going to get sunlight upon waking.
(08:25):
It's very Why did okay because it feels very That's
how it feels when I'm doing it. Kids, sunlight up
waking upon waking wave from the colonial days. Yes, that
is that is basically you're trying to go back to
what it was like two years ago. That being said,
(08:47):
my kids are thinking I'm crazy because now once the
sun goes down, I want to only live by candle
light before bedtime because I have just not been sleeping
that well and I'm like, something's up. I'm doing all
these other things and sleep hasn't always been a major
issue for me, and at times when it has, I've
had to intervene with other things, which I think is
(09:09):
totally appropriate if you need pills or I don't do
well with melatonin though at all. It Actually melatonin has
the opposite effect on me either. If I take the
right amount and do actually end up falling asleep, I
wake up feeling really groggy and horrible. If I take
too much, it's just really bad. But if I don't
go to sleep within thirty minutes of taking it, my
(09:31):
mind starts racing and I can't go to sleep. So
it is interesting, and then I sometimes be like, Okay,
I'll have a glass of wine. But then the quality
(09:52):
of sleep you're getting through that is not great at all.
And you know, you might think that it is because
you're able to fall asleep, but there's a lot happening
in your body that's all subconscious. You don't realize all
the ways that you're you need that precious time, you
need that rim cycle sleep, and I don't think I'm
really getting there. So anyway, all this to say, I
(10:12):
was listening to the Sleep podcast when I got my
lashes done the other day and I didn't even pick
it out. My last person A needed and she always
has the best things to listen to, and she was like,
I found the Sleep Doctor and will listen to it,
and so we did. And he was very scientific. So
a lot of it was like all the parts of
our eye that I don't know. I just know, like eyeball,
(10:35):
the white part of the eye, the cult, the iris,
the pupil, like the different but he went weigh next, look,
it's like the inside of the eye that like in
the brain, all the different connectors your eyes connected to
your magdala to talk about that, we'll look at you. Yes,
I'm sure he did. Okay, I don't remember all the things.
But then even I was talking to my father in
(10:55):
law about it because he was a fighter pilot in
the Air Force and my husband was a pilot as well.
But he's lie think about it. He's like in the
cockpit or flight deck PC, that's where the pilots are
flying the airplane, so it used to be called the cockpit.
I don't call it that anyone, because I don't I
think that was because men were in there flying and
now and then really well, I listen, I just heard
(11:17):
the PC way to say it is flight deck. So
we might need to do a search history on why.
But it's kind of like we're learning now and it's
something you just say, I don't know where you're like, oh,
this is my room, this is the master bathroom, that's
not isn't that primary? Now? Primary room? And my sister
taught me that. You know, they do decorating in different things,
(11:38):
and when they started filming for HDTV, it's not something
that they've ever thought about, like reaching the masses, because
normally you're just saying, oh, yeah, master bedroom, and until
you've heard it, then you can't hear it and you're like,
oh wow, yeah, I'm not a master to any slaves.
And that's actually really horrible that we're calling it the
master bedroom. So now we call it the primary bedroom.
(11:59):
And some people are like, I never knew that's where
that came from. Yeah, me neither until my sister told me.
And if other of you have been way ahead of us,
then that's awesome for you. But maybe some other people
are hearing this for the first time, and I think
it's just something to think about when we're thinking of
what we call things. So we way back to the
flight deck, he said, You'll notice if you ever see
instruments when pilots are flying at night, the back light
(12:21):
everything that's lit up is red and that is an
okay light for your eyes to see in the dark,
as opposed to like a white light, right, and so
like a fire would be an okay light to see.
So if I wanted to live by candle light before
I went to bed, it wouldn't disrupt anything. So I
don't know, I totally detorted the whole pilot thing. But
(12:44):
the film red films on all of your light bulbs, yeah,
or you can go order red light bulbs, he said
in the podcast, that you can put in like your
night stand, so that way, when you decide to turn
on that light or different lamps around your house, you
can turn off all the overheads and just turn on
your red lamp lights and then that will give you
or give your body the signal of like, hey, you
(13:05):
can start going to sleep. But back to the morning
light when you expose yourself. This is me paraphrasing what
the sleep doctor said from memory, which was a few
days ago. When you expose yourself to the morning light,
you were telling your body to start producing whatever it
needs to produce to help you with melatonin later. So
(13:25):
it jumps starts that process to prepare you for nighttime sleep.
But you need to go out there and get it.
There's other ways to get it, real light, there's other
ways if you can't get into the sunlight that you
could get it if you wanted to. But like my
week days, I can't because I have to be the
Bobby Bones show too early. But Saturday and Sunday this
last weekend, I went outside upon waking for my light
(13:48):
and I took my four Things Gratitude journal and I
woke up and I went outside to my backyard and
I sat down. I opened my journal, and I while
I journaled, I my Boddy absorbed light and prepared me.
Why are you? I don't know, because I know it
sounds weird, and I never try it. Whenever I tell
(14:10):
my kids, like you just wait, we're about to be
the house that like when it the sun goes down
candles on massad Town Latin candles so I can sleep,
and the whole world will be jealous because I'm just
all about whatever it takes to get I'm signed me up.
(14:30):
We're doing things all kinds of wrong because we have
light at our fingertips, and we want to watch TV,
and we want to check our emails, and we want
to be on our phones. But I just I'm gonna
start shutting it down. What did the doctors say about
TV before? Boy? No, no, no, no, don't do it.
We'll wear the blue light blockers, which I have but
I don't always. I felt like the blue light blockers
(14:51):
were like an urban legend, like I I heard people
that said that they don't really do much, but they do,
so he said, because sometimes I wear them and sometimes
they don't. So I'm like, am I am? I just
like joking with myself. I don't know when I say.
This guy sounded super smart. That's podcast I wish I could,
but Amy found it. I'll have to ask for for it.
I don't know. I'll report back, but he just know
(15:12):
he sounded just. He has dedicated his life's work to sleep,
and he definitely mentioned those glasses, and but he also
said the ideal thing is to get your red lamp
light bulb and put that on and read a book
and then go to bed. That is your nighttime entertainment.
I want to read a book, guy, I have to
(15:34):
do it. So anyway, that being said, sleep is also
another way that I plan to recharge. So we've not
even gotten through. How is that for rapid fire? All right?
Can you post a link to jeans from the Pimp
and Joy photo shoot? Okay, I can't post a link.
I guess I could in the show notes. Let me
(15:56):
think about that. Let me write a note right here
post link so I'll put something in the show notes.
But if you don't want to go there, you can
just google Cassie super high Rise, straight crop Blossom distressed
jeans and the brand is Pistola Pistola. I think that's
how you say it, Pistola Pistola. Pistola seems better and
(16:19):
it seems more right than pistola. But I also don't know,
probably right pistola. Why am I making it Spanish pistola? Okay,
it's probably pistola, denim. I have no idea, but it's
p I S. T O l A and I have
a few Pistola Pistola items. I have some denim shorts
(16:42):
and a couple of pairs of jeans. There's a boutique
on my house that sells this brand, and I am
really disappointed in my purchase, so I recommend y'all checking
them out. Another denim brand that I love is a Goldie.
I have no idea how to say that. I knew
you're going to say that one a Goldie, but some
people say a gold but it's a Goldie. Maybe maybe
it's a well, listen, we don't know, but it's a
(17:03):
G O L D E. Why can't they just have
like a normal name. I don't know. I think Citizens
of Humanity owns gold Day gold. It's like they're low.
They're Goldie is still expensive, but it's not as expensive
expensive I think. So it's like under their umbrella, but
it's supposed to be like a step down kind of
like Zara and well Arista, what's that store? Yeah, connected,
(17:27):
they're not, They're not at all, I don't think, But
I that's how I defined like Zara and then Aritzia
is like the expensive. It's like the next level of
Zara and before Zara's I don't know what's before that,
forever twenty one or something, but they're not they're also
not connection. Yeah, So anyway, I know you were just
asking about the denim jeans, So we're going to practice
(17:49):
answering quickly and just google those because they're my favorite
jeans right now and I probably get a feeling to
people asking and the Pimp and Joy photo shoot. The
Pimp and Joy items went up last week to help
build a home a hero. All the proceeds are going
to Building Homes for Heroes, which is an amazing nonprofit
that works with so many veterans that are like our
veteran that we're supporting this year. He's in a wheelchair,
(18:12):
noncommunicative from a brain injury, spinal cord injury. He's got
a wife and a son, and they're completely gutting his
house and redoing it too so he can move around easier.
It just needs a lot of work. So that is
where the money is going. You can still shop Pimp Joy.
The shop for dot com slash Pimp and Joy or
Radio Amy is a way where you can find stuff
and there's a lot of cute, red, white and blue
(18:33):
patriotic options. That you'll get in time for Fourth of
July if you order a S A P. Through the
different veterans. We've supported this our fifth one, so hundreds
of thousands of dollars have gone to building homes for
heroes and then this round. I think we're maybe at
seventy right now, so in like a week unless than
it launched on Friday, we might even be above that
because honestly, and Kat and I are recording this on Sunday,
(18:55):
so I know it's crazy. We have amazing listeners and
just saying y'all so much for that support and pimp
and joy which is all about spreading joy to others,
which is exactly what y'all are doing. Next question, Let's
see how fast I can do this one? All right?
(19:20):
What saving your life right now? The salad chopper the
XO Wait, do you have one of those big bowls
the chopped O XO grips or whatever is the brand.
They have it at Target and on Amazon. But it
comes with a bowl and it's almost looks like a
pizza slicer, but it's double and it's for salads because
I love a chopped salad and when it's hot out
(19:42):
I eat more salads. And that's saving my life right
now because I used to just cut everything with a
knife and a fork, and the salad chopper is just
so exciting. You do it really faster. I have to
be careful now with knives because I cut my finger open.
Yeah you haven't seen it, have you know? Now it's better, Okay,
I was cutting a bagel. Oh yeah, I thought I
(20:02):
had to. You almost lost your thumb. I didn't look
at it for four days because I thought I might
have to get my thumb taken off. Fun fact, I
have a scar right here on my thumb from when
I was a kid. It was from a potato peeler.
Look at us not being able cut cut her peel.
And then the salad chopper thing makes me think of
the restaurant you love to eat out a lot, Chopped. Yes,
that's what I was saying. That's what it reminds me off.
(20:23):
So if anybody, if you all have a Chopped near you,
look it up because it is such a great place.
I took my in laws to Chopped the other night
when they flew in. I picked him up from the
airport and they were like, we really would like a
salad or I just knew they would really like a salad,
so I just took them there so good and it
was yummy. Okay, keep going, all right, what mass scara
do you use? I mentioned a minute ago that I
(20:44):
have LASH extensions, so I get lashes from Amy, who's
the founder of Lash. There's a lot of Lash places
in Nashville, but she was like the O g one.
It's called Lash. It's on Elliston, like in Weston, near
the Vanderbilt area. But she's great. So she's my Lash person.
And I used to hate lashes before I met her
because everyone always made them way too long, and I
(21:04):
don't like the over. She'll put the I get the
shortest option available put on so they look natural. So
that's probably why sometimes people ask what mascar I use?
Because they look like they're just my lashes. Did you
ever use this growing stuff yalatis? Or it burned my
eyes so bad I tried to use it, so I
(21:25):
gave up after about two weeks. Dime, which is I
you put mascre on my lower and then I use
the eyebrow gel thing too, And there's this The brand
is Dime like d I m E. And they have
a lash conditioner and that should help them grow. You
maybe want to try that, And that's what I used
their maskcre on my bottom. But then I use their
(21:47):
eyebrow gel as well, which is conditioning and helping to
hopefully grow my brows because I have no brows. My
sister Kim, who's my half sister, she sent me a
picture from my wedding the other day. She was going
through old photos and she found a picture of me,
Bobby and lunch box and this isn't two thousand and six,
and I have on my wedding day, I had like
jet black hair almost and no eyebrows. Because let me
(22:09):
draw you. I'm gonna draw you my eyebrow right now.
Look at the paper. It's just one line. It's because
you overplucked, yes, like back in the day. Yeah, which
you look like you have a lot of eyebrows because
I got a Megan by Megan micro bladed them and
then now I put the doe. I grow them with
the I try to put jails on them to take
care of them and nourish them and grow them because
(22:31):
they were very sad. Do you think that's going to
come back in style? Though? If it does, I am
not participating. Hear me, now, I am not participating because
in two thousand and six, that was probably me trying
to have brows because I plucked them in the two thousand's,
like when I graduated, even my my college graduation picture
two thousand three. Oh, but that was cool. It was
(22:54):
I also had on white eyeliner. I know. Things I
used are a lot of silver eyeshadow, a lot. Yeah. Okay,
next question. Okay, this is a great question. What is
a benefit of recovery that you didn't expect to find?
Kat said, it's a great question because she submitted it
in the question box you can see who the questions
are coming from. But I actually did think it was
a great question. It made me think of going to
(23:16):
your lake house the other day because we had so
much fun. It was last weekend and the kids had
a great time. But also that's an example of how
I was able to have a great time and show
up and be present with family and friends and kids
because my husband and I gave our kids a yesterday
that day with boundaries, but in a nutshell, they pretty
(23:36):
much got whatever they asked for, like when it came
to candy food, even me doing things with them like to.
Shara wanted to tube, but she wanted to tube fast.
So I said yes to that, even though I wanted
a tube moderately slow, because that is enough for me.
My dad did not listen to well to, Shara wanted
to go fast, and so that my dog is choking
(23:58):
over there. It's fun. So then Stevenson wanted a kayak,
and y'all were all hanging out on the deck and
it was after we got off the boat and we
were tired, and I just wanted to chill on the
deck and have a drink. But I went kayaking with
my son while y'all did that, and you know what,
I said yes to it because it was yesterday. And
then dinner came, and you know, we had crumble cookies
and we had your mom made these sweet potatoes, and
(24:19):
there was chicken and steak and this some broccoli salad
with a bunch of mayonnaise in it, and it was amazing.
I didn't eat the broccolis home, well, I did. I
love hate and I love it. So my point is
the yesterday at the lake was so much more enjoyable
in recovery because I was able to have those moments
with my kids without my brain thinking about what I
(24:40):
couldn't eat, or thinking about what I was gonna eat,
or stressing about the dinner we were gonna have when
we got back to the house. My brain wasn't occupied
with food at all. My brain was occupied with us
in the moment, what we were doing and being present.
And if your brain is currently just thinking about food
all day long, I get it. You're not alone. There's
(25:01):
nothing weird about that. It's actually very normal when you
have an eating disorder, or you're in a disordered eating cycle,
or you have body image issues stuff like that. So CAT,
to answer your question, a benefit that I didn't expect
to find was all this freedom in my brain and
this room to have like a fun day at the lake,
because for so many years I just didn't even think
(25:21):
that was possible. I just thought, this is how I live.
My brain is going to always be occupied with this,
and I guess I didn't expect it because I didn't
know it was possible. That's a good answer. Good job,
good job. Let's try to do one more. This is
quick favorite, showed to Binge. I mean, should a band
at any time? Like I can watch Friends over and
over obviously, and just have that on. But right now
(25:42):
I'm been binging hacks on HBO Max. Never heard of it. Oh,
it's so good about it's a comedian and she's older,
kind of. I don't want to give too much away,
but I guess a little bit. It's a nice way
to sign. Yeah, it's scripted. I don't know. Nice always
say it like she's like a washed up older comedian.
Had her day, but she's out trying to get it back.
(26:04):
She lost her residency in Vegas and so she's hired.
Her agent has hooked her up with a young writer
and then they are working together, the older and the young,
and then they kind of clash. But it's funny and
I have like a sweet relationship. How did you decide
to watch that? I would never just how I guess
she was. I like, don't know how to start a
new show because I don't know there's so many shows.
(26:25):
It's like which one is good and which one is back? Right?
Or I'm telling you has is good because it's funny.
It's like light and finding that because the show that
I've been watching is not light. Well, yeah, I cried
harder than I have cried probably in the last year.
On Friday night watching Stranger Things. But I thought you
didn't like Stranger Things. I don't like it, but I'm
(26:45):
committed to it because I've already invested so much time
in letting it emotionally affect you. Yes, I was a wreck,
like snot like hyper ventilitin almost it was very sad.
So I don't recommend. Okay, yeah, well check out. Do
you have HBO Mac Yeah, okay, good, Okay, than problem.
And if you don't have HBO Max, get it because
(27:05):
remember that's where my Christmas movie is gonna be come.
I don't know November December. You're gonna need to get
it anyway, And there's honestly so much good stuff. That's
where you watch Friends too. HBO Max is the friends person.
Stop homework. You're going to watch Stranger Things with your boyfriend,
but you're not going to go be a friends person
because it's amazing. I feel like it's too late. It's
(27:27):
not too late. It's not too late. I've gone back
and started the whole thing over multiple times, and there's
still stuff that I've still have to start from the beginning.
How many episode one? There's ten? I think nine or ten? Ten.
Next question oh oh, this is a good one. Favorite perfume,
Baccarat rouget. I'm so glad you said, because I never
(27:50):
knew how to say it. Is that really how you
say it? Listen? I was saying pistole, So who knows baccarat? Wait?
I think pistole pistol. Oh, now I don't even know
what it gets. Yeah, you're probably asking the wrong person,
but I think it's Bakarat by forty. The only problem
is it's stupid expensive. But like, once you Bokarat, you
can't go back, and so you can ask for it
(28:12):
as gifts. You can get gift cards, you can get
like I have a friend Cat, not you, Cat, a
different cat, And she found it on sale at Nordstrom
in the travel size the other day, and she called
me and she was like, hey, I'm gonna buy the
travel size, but it comes with three Like do you
want to buy one? So I bought one off of her,
Like can we split it three ways? So it made
it and then just one score and you're good to go.
(28:35):
But then Cat, you also found it on like a knockoff.
It's one of those dupes. Yeah, And like, I don't
know if I should be promoting this because it's like,
is it like copyright? I don't know what is it
called when people do that trademark whatever. Anyway, it is
saved my life because I would be the person that
would overspend on perfume because it's all so good and
it's like forty dollars on this website all favorite fragrances.
(28:58):
We don't have to. I mean, I have no idea
the rules and realities around trademarking a smell, but yeah,
it's a smell. It's a smell, So that's an option.
I'm sure you could just google bakarat Rouge five forty
knockoff off and see if I found this on TikTok
and if you're a Santa person, I also like that perfume.
They have a knockoff for that too. Okay, um, gonna
(29:19):
do another one? Yeah, why not keep going? Who cares
current coffee order? Oh? I got a lot of people
asking that, and I'm like, what is so interesting to
people about knowing other people's coffee order? Well, because sometimes
you have interesting hacks, like when with your pumpkin cream
you had that whole thing, or you would order and
then save the cream. But I would like to change
this question a little bit. What is your go to
normal standard coffee order? And then like your current do
(29:42):
you have anything like different? Okay, well, someone had asked
if I had a d C T and I didn't
know what that meant, so luckily in parentheses they put
Delicious Coffee Treat DCT. So I guess my normal coffee
order is a standard almond milk latte, probably with an
extra shot, because why not. And right now, because it's hot,
(30:02):
I'm getting iced, very into iced in the winter. I
like hot. And if I'm taking it up a level
to call it a treat or whatever we want to
call it, then I guess I'll add the cold foam
cream or whatever they call it at Starbucks, which is
normally flavored. During the you know fall, I like to
get the pumpkin spice, like you mentioned, and the hack
around that was sometimes they put a lot on tops.
(30:25):
When you get home, get a spoon and scrape it
into a container and put in your fridge and use
it the next day, boom, and just make it at
home free. And then they have a caramel one, which
I guess caramel cream, like a caramel cold foam cream
thing that just scoops on top like you can get.
I'll go and get maybe an iced Americano or something.
(30:47):
It's really creamy, so I guess I don't even need
the almond milk, and then I would get that on top.
That's a d c T for me. Yeah, what about you.
I always get the same coffee and almond milk latte.
Whether it's hotter cold is depending on the weather. But
I am a new coffee drinker, so I don't really
go outside of the box much. I do love the
coconut almond creamer from Trader Joe's and I'll froth that
(31:11):
in the morning and put it on my coffee. Oh yeah,
I might have to try that Trader Joe's brand. Yeah,
and I can I tell you a little story about
my frouther Yeah. I don't know if I told you this,
but the other day I was out of creamer and
I was also out of almond milk, so I couldn't
make anything to put in my coffee. I don't really
love black coffee, so I was like, I have ice cream,
and ice cream is like cream when it's melted. Yeah,
(31:33):
wouldn't you think that would work? Yes? Yeah, so I
put it in my frother, and it started like making
noise and then it was finished and then it was
just brown, and my whole frother on the inside was burnt.
The whole rim of my stainless steel frother was burnt.
It smells like cotton candy, like that burning sugar. So
this is a life hack as well. Do not ever
(31:55):
put ice cream in your milk frother. Why would you
think that happened? Isn't that weirdar? Maybe because there's too
much sugar, I don't know, or there's some yeah granule,
Like if I ever sprinkle cinnamon into my frother, it
won't spin. Wait really yeah, it's like it picks up
on it. Even though you think it's so fine, it's
just disrupting the like it's not meant for that. So
(32:17):
there might have been an ingredient thing. It might have
been vanilla bean, So maybe that's just a little like
that's what caused it. It was disrupting the I was
so upset. I had to buy a new Thank god,
it my whole new thing. I spot a new what
is it called container? Yeah, so just as long as
you use the ice cream that has no vanilla bean
in it, because those little black little vanesccns they were
getting stuck in there. I bet you're welcome. I think
(32:38):
I'm glad I told the story. You're welcome. I feel
very smart right now. Okay, do you want to do
another question? Um, let's do one final question. Yeah, we'll
just put We'll put these on a future episode, the
ones we didn't get to. Okay, what is your favorite
activity or thing to do in the summer? I mean,
I love hiking, and my favorite thing is to go
(32:58):
to Colorado and hike. And my sister in Colorado, so
we typically go there every summer. We have like a
place to say Pacosa's Spring shout out. And Colorado is
just the most amazing place. If you can go to
Colorado in the summer. Would you all probably even hear
me on this podcast do commercials for the state of Colorado.
That's how passionate I am about Colorado. Like I've been
going there since I was a kid, and I love it.
(33:20):
It's just what made you move there, just because of
her husband been going there since he was a kid.
His parents have a second home there. They would ski
and winter and you know, hike and fish and fly
fish and do all the things in the summer, and
they were they just wanted to get out of Austin
their kids. They wanted to raise them in a smaller
town and have a simpler life. And then that's what's
(33:41):
so comical that now they've been on HDTV. Their season's over,
by the way, but we'll find out soon if they're
going to get a season two. But my sister is like,
we came here for a simpler life, and now there's
camera people everywhere and sound guys, but it's fun. It's
still a simpler life for sure. And they're not in
like this rat race game that would have been in Austin.
(34:01):
Like the particular high school they were going to be
at is very keep up with everybody for the kids,
and even sports are super competitive, and they're like, we
just don't want to do this anymore. We're out. It
was after my mom died too, and I think my
sister just had like a different shift in perspective. My
sister's husbands always wanted to be in Colorado. That is
where he thrives, he's his happiest. But I think my
sister was like, I don't know if I would to
(34:22):
live there. And then there's something about losing someone. They
can give you a different perspective to do something. And
then are you lake or beach person in the summer?
Maybe you have to choose. You have to choose right now. Like, okay,
me too, because I like activities. I don't I like
to lay out. But like I just went to the
beach a couple of weekends ago and I literally was like,
(34:45):
can we play a game? Can we play a game?
What can we do? Now? Can we play a game?
Because I can't just sit there in the sand and
then the salt sand is everywhere? Yeah, which after going
to your lake house, Tashira now wants to buy a
lake house as a business invest meant and airbnb it Wow,
okay that's actually people airbnb there lighthouses over there, right,
(35:06):
But I mean she's fifteen. Is someone going to give
her a mortgage? What's her down payment? I'm like, okay,
great plan, babe. What she did ask my brother if
he would give her a discount on a house? She's
get a discount. He's like, why, oh yeah, because cats
family they build houses the fat to building and builders
(35:26):
Wilding defatos defat custom homes, so they do that in
around Nashville, but also out of the lake where you
all are, because you know you'll are there. And yes,
she was like discount. I'm like, okay, even if you
hustle him for a discount, you still can't afford a
light house. She's like, but I'm going to airbnb it,
(35:48):
And I said, okay, who's going to clean it? You're
gonna hire a company. You have to give them a percentage.
I mean, that's a that's a great way to do it,
but you have to know that you're already getting ten
percent or more. Who know, I don't know the rates
are going to a company. And then you've got to
rent it out. Who's monitoring that? The schedule, the calendar.
She's like, oh my gosh, Mom, I have school. And
I'm like, yeah, so, but I love that she's always hustily,
(36:12):
but she's always thinking of a plan and like a
way to make money. Did I ever tell you how
she was? I know I said this on the Bobby
Bones Show, but towards the end of school summer break now,
but she was taking the fare again to school and
charging people a dollar a minute they would offense. She
was like giving it to the athletes and they were
all sore her. All right, we'll keep doing that the
(36:33):
light house. Do you want to invest in her late
house business? Honestly I would. I would consider it if
if I had money to invest. Yeah, okay, all right,
well you listen. Cat and I did not even get
to the all the questions we planned. We fail you
when it comes to rapid fire, but we hope you
enjoyed today's episode. And on Thursday's episode, Heads up, Donald
(36:54):
Miller is going to be on. He is an amazing author.
We're going to be in person because he lives near Nashville.
And Cat is actually going to join me for that interview.
She's not normally on my Four Things episodes, but I
know you're a fan of his work as well, so
we're going to do it together. So excited, Yes, can't
wait for that. And then Father's Day shopping is in
full force. If you're wanting anything that gives back from
(37:17):
the Shop Forward, then I recommend you do that a
sap like if you're over there checking out Pimp Enjoy anyway,
you can go see what the Shop Forward has up.
I've got Dad Joke shirts which are super cute, and
those are benefiting a youth center in California that's doing
amazing work. And then over on the Spua side of
the shop forward, we have cool Dad and born Your Hats,
which I gave Cat's boyfriend a born your hat is
(37:38):
his birthday the other day, I won't say the year.
Do you know that? He didn't realize you are robbing
the cradle, did he? He didn't realize that. Later I
was like, you know what this means? And he was like, oh,
I was wondering why it said the year, and I
was like, yes, it's the year you were born. It's
a born your hat. We have all kinds of years
and you can get if you've got a dad or
(37:59):
a husband or whatever father you're shopping for, you can
get their year and then they get it. We included
three fun facts from that year, and so it's fun
to just like to see what those were. Thanks. And
then my sister actually helped curate that list when we
were building it, because we were doing each year, and
she helped put together the fun facts from the years,
and there's a little sticker with those on it. And
(38:21):
then cool Dad stuff. All the things are up everything
we found at the shop for dot com and just
type in maybe the search bar, whatever it is that
you're looking for, and there's some really amazing Father's Day
gifts that give back, and yeah, we'll see you on
Thursday for Donald Miller, all right, and that's our show.
Thank thank you, okay b
