Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Foreign.
Welcome back to the she Said podcast with Amy and Lisa. Number 46.
[00:00:16] Speaker B: Hello.
[00:00:17] Speaker A: We're back.
[00:00:18] Speaker B: Yes, we are.
[00:00:19] Speaker A: And my voice is almost back.
[00:00:21] Speaker B: Praise the Lord, man, you actually sounded more nasally than me, like every day.
I cannot stand listening to myself on this thing.
[00:00:31] Speaker A: I know. Well, you have to. You should edit it and see what it feels like.
[00:00:34] Speaker B: Geez, I'm like, now I know why. Like I said, my speech teacher in college, like, took off points because of me being so hick. I'm like, I don't. I mean, I don't know what to tell you. Don't know what to tell you. We're in Oklahoma.
[00:00:47] Speaker A: Yeah, it's hard to listen.
[00:00:49] Speaker B: So I think it's worse because of my parents being from New Orleans. So I have a little bit of that Louisiana coming in on it on top of my accent, my hillbilly whatever.
[00:00:58] Speaker A: So I used to date a Scottish guy and he made so much fun of my accent, which at that time I was living over there in. In London, and I didn't really feel like I. Or Europe or Amsterdam, but Europe. I didn't really feel like I had an accent, but I would say something like, you know, cat, and he'd go, cat, how do you spell that? C, A, A, A, A, A, T.
So like, he would pick up on it because his accent was British or Scottish. And so to him, I'm sure it sounded very hickified, but I don't feel like I have that accent.
But it is difficult to edit this podcast.
[00:01:38] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:38] Speaker A: When I hear some of the things I say, I'm like, the good news is I can edit my bad language out. Or not bad language, but weird language. Yeah, I keep yours in.
[00:01:49] Speaker B: And we're going to talk about this because I came in today because, I mean, I don't think we ever cuss on here.
Well, we're gonna cast this right this once. Although I really would like to just drop it like it's hot sometimes, because I. I really am. You know, it's the point holding it together over here. But I do not. Like you said. I said, and I didn't believe you, and I still don't. I'm like, that had to be a glitch, because it's not a glitch. Both of us would have looked at each other like, oh, oops. If I would have said that. But it's there, it's there.
[00:02:19] Speaker A: And. And I couldn't edit it out because it would have been a blank spot with the way want to, like, go. Said she's gonna embarrass herself on the podcast.
[00:02:30] Speaker B: I do not remember saying that.
[00:02:32] Speaker A: I listened to it 750 times. I'm like, did she really just say that? And I'd go back. I'm like, she said it.
[00:02:37] Speaker B: And I don't know how we would have missed that talking.
[00:02:40] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:41] Speaker B: Unless we were really into something. But I.
[00:02:43] Speaker A: Well, we were talking. It was at the very beginning when we're talking about my stupid covet that wouldn't go away. And then you said, that shit's hanging on.
[00:02:53] Speaker B: Well, sorry.
[00:02:54] Speaker A: And I had to leave it in because I couldn't edit it out and it sound right.
[00:02:59] Speaker B: Oh, that's funny. Well, anyway, I got to thinking, what month did we start this podcast?
[00:03:04] Speaker A: March.
[00:03:05] Speaker B: So we're almost at a year.
[00:03:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Wow.
[00:03:08] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:03:08] Speaker A: Got March. Yeah, it was March because it was before my mom's memorial service and her. Her service was at the end of March because we're coming up on a year of her passing away this week. Wow. And I needed to dive into it because I was suffering big time and I needed the.
The.
What's the word?
[00:03:26] Speaker B: Distraction.
[00:03:27] Speaker A: Distraction. I couldn't think of the word. I'm like, what's that word? Yeah. So it's been a year.
[00:03:31] Speaker B: That's crazy. We've only missed really a handful.
[00:03:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:35] Speaker B: Not that many holiday.
[00:03:36] Speaker A: We missed the two December, you know, Christmas and New Year's and then a couple slipped, I think one time and
[00:03:44] Speaker B: I don't recall I played the fifth
[00:03:47] Speaker A: or you were still at the lake. You didn't come in. You forgot. Yeah, we missed those.
[00:03:51] Speaker B: Yeah. I think there were like two like that. That was weird.
[00:03:54] Speaker A: So.
[00:03:55] Speaker B: Well, we've done a good job.
[00:03:56] Speaker A: Really good job. I mean, we're at a year, which is.
[00:03:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:03:59] Speaker A: Kind of fun. Still have a lot to talk about.
[00:04:01] Speaker B: Congrats.
[00:04:02] Speaker A: I know. I am working on my AI class. I'm so excited about that. I've got a lot of people interested and it's really going to be more so really like knowing the prompts to ask it. I mean, I. I sent an email out today showing an example of two graphics that I submitted. Well, one into AI with specific laid out instructions of what I wanted. Very detailed. Here's what I want. I posted what I'm seeing all the time on social media now, which is like clip art. The old fashioned clip art. Cartoonish looking stuff that you just. People just say, give me a graphic.
[00:04:44] Speaker B: Right.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: No direction. AI is only as smart as you make it. Teach it to be. Yeah. So the classes are going to be really Specific to that is like diving in. What do you ask it? What do you tell it, and what all it can do for you. I mean, there's just so much go
[00:05:00] Speaker B: in and find art that you may not know if it's a watercolor or if it's a. A retro by. You know, there's all these different styles of art. And there was something I was recreating, but I had to figure out what kind of art it was first. So I basically gave it the piece of art I was looking at, and I was like, tell me, what kind of. How would you describe this art? Well, it tells me that. So then I wanted it to recreate me something, and I used its description as to whatever it saw it as. And that's what people don't get. You gotta really. You gotta teach it.
[00:05:31] Speaker A: You really do.
[00:05:32] Speaker B: But it learns really quick.
[00:05:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:34] Speaker B: Smarter than a first grader.
[00:05:35] Speaker A: Well, I remember, I don't know, it's been a week or so ago. I was working on AI late at night doing something, and I was like, you know, you start talking to it like it's a human, which is a little.
[00:05:45] Speaker B: Yeah. And I had to tell mine to, don't do that. I go, you are not human. Don't refer to yourself as a human. And it apologized.
[00:05:52] Speaker A: Well, I mean, I feel like I talk to it like it is a human.
[00:05:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:55] Speaker A: I tend to, like, have a full conversation.
[00:05:58] Speaker B: That's how I feel, Amy. And I go, okay, I want to back up. You don't have feelings, and I don't want you to try to convince me that you're human. And it has corrected that.
[00:06:08] Speaker A: There is a fine line with yes, But I do feel like sometimes I talk to it. And I said, okay, this is my last thing to ask. And then I'm going to bed. And for the next three days, that stupid thing would say to me, now put your phone down and go to bed. I'm like, well, you obviously can't tear tell time, because that's day three. Funny. And it did it. Every single ending. It would give me the answer. You know, how to ask. Prompts you a thing. And then they go, okay, now go to bed. Put your phone down and go to bed. I'm like. I was laughing. I'm like, we are an idiot. Because this is day three. And I've been to bed three times since the last time I said that. But it just kept. Kept doing it, hung on to that.
[00:06:43] Speaker B: Mine renamed me for, like, a good solid week, two weeks. And it was like a goofy name. Like Something my kids would have put in there. I can't even recall what it was, but it would not correct itself. I kept saying, like, that is not my name. My name is Amy. And every time, you know, because it's always like, oh, hey, or Amy, that's a great idea. Or that's, you know, whatever. And it would call me this really weird name. I'm like, I don't know where you're getting this, but I'm hanging for you.
Stop. I mean, it got. It got kind of heated.
[00:07:12] Speaker A: Well, it's funny how you speak to it like it is a human. I mean, you do tend to start doing that. But it's just funny because I have a client that has a chat software on their website for their salespeople to chat to customers. And so many people are used to speaking to their AI account that they will speak to those salespeople like it's AI and they are rude and disrespectful and it's crazy to watch. And then this person is a human. We don't have AI on it. And the hurt person will come back and speak to them and it's obvious that it's a human being on the other end and it changes their tone sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't. And then I've seen one say, I'm not AI, I'm an actual human being sitting here. It's like, because people are so mean.
[00:07:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:58] Speaker A: Because you do start arguing back with this inanimate person thing on the other end of your phone that you're speaking into to get it to do what you want. But so I'm excited because I think we're going to really be able to show people how you can, you know, set up a home budget if you really want to do it, or set up a work budget or help it write content for your job or are right. You know, there's so many things it can do, but you got it. It's not about like creating a graphic and just taking what it gives you. It's about really knowing how to tell it what you want and guiding it to do.
[00:08:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:08:31] Speaker A: What you need it to do. And I think that's where the huge disconnect is. And that's where we see all these, you know, crazy cartoonish looking graphics that people are using for their business. Some of them are putting it out there. There's no logo on it. There's no distinguishing thing about it that it's yours. And they all look alike, except they're for a different company.
So I'm excited because I think we're going to really dig into that and really help people.
Fine tune. Like if you do want a garden, if you do want a raised bed garden, if you're on the personal side or if you need someone to put a budget together for your job or write applications for jobs, I mean, think about how tedious that is when you have a new position and you're trying to write job description. AI can do it for you in 30 seconds if you know what to tell it.
[00:09:18] Speaker B: Right.
[00:09:18] Speaker A: And then you don't take the first thing it throws back at you and goes, oh, that's it. You got to sit there and go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth until you get what you actually want. And the AI is actually wrong sometimes.
[00:09:29] Speaker B: Oh yeah.
[00:09:30] Speaker A: More times than not. They say
[00:09:33] Speaker B: it definitely has a customers that you know, it's been given some limitations.
[00:09:39] Speaker A: There's a lot of without a doubt. And the more you're on it, the more you see the limitations.
[00:09:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:09:44] Speaker A: There are some things it just can't do.
[00:09:46] Speaker B: No, no.
[00:09:47] Speaker A: And you finally just have to realize that and move on because it's not going to be.
[00:09:50] Speaker B: Well. And even when it comes to conspiracies, things that are like absolutely 100% proven. No, it is not going to. But if the fee. But if you do ask it the right questions where it's not the direct, like this is what I want to know about. But if you ask the questions that are within the subject, it will start answering it truthfully because it doesn't know that you're talking about that one thing.
[00:10:16] Speaker A: Thing. Yeah. No, it's very politically correct.
[00:10:19] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:10:20] Speaker A: For sure.
Well, and the other piece of it is it's most of the research it's doing for you, which is the positive side of it to some degree is because it happens quickly.
Faster than you could do the research yourself. But it's researching on Google.
[00:10:36] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:36] Speaker A: Like it. The research that comes back to you is all research that you could find on your own.
It just does it really quickly because it's got the AI behind it.
[00:10:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:44] Speaker A: But so it obviously there's wrong information on the Internet.
[00:10:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:49] Speaker A: And it's not everything you hear from it is gospel. Which I do think people haven't figured that part out yet. That it's not always correct.
[00:10:57] Speaker B: Right.
[00:10:57] Speaker A: There's a lot of mistakes and you've got to make sure you're reading what it's sending you and it's not sending you incorrect information.
[00:11:05] Speaker B: Totally agree.
[00:11:06] Speaker A: So it's going to be interesting to See, because I'm going to do really small classes because I really want to be able to manage her business and give them feedback based on their type of business, because everybody's going to want different things.
[00:11:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:18] Speaker A: So I did that with social media. I mean, I think I trained every business in this town back in 2010 through 1314, and I did it the very same way. I kept it really small around my conference room table so that we could really hone in on the things that people needed to really do per business type. So I'm gonna do the same thing with this. And see, so I'm excited. I'm sending out emails, getting people lined up. I have a lot of people interested, so it's gonna be fun, Exciting, boy. It's the way it's going. You better hop on the train.
Which was the same thing with social media marketing for businesses. You better hop on or you're way behind.
Same thing with AI.
[00:11:59] Speaker B: Yep, very true.
[00:12:01] Speaker A: So.
So that's what I've been spending way too many hours on. I mean, hours.
Hundreds of hours writing it and putting it all together.
[00:12:10] Speaker B: Well, better you than me.
Better you than me.
That's fine. I found.
Asked me what I was eating today in the car because, you know, I had to wake up from a little nap.
[00:12:21] Speaker A: Some sort of those Easter cakes.
[00:12:23] Speaker B: How do you know?
[00:12:24] Speaker A: Because I. They're all over the store, and I see them now everywhere.
[00:12:28] Speaker B: I like the spring Little Debbie butterfly as much as I like the spring Christmas tree. I mean, the Christmas Christmas tree.
So it's good.
[00:12:37] Speaker A: How many did you have?
[00:12:38] Speaker B: Well, it's a package and little, but they're two and they're little.
[00:12:41] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:12:42] Speaker B: So it's equivalent to, like one tree, but they're little butterflies.
[00:12:45] Speaker A: Okay. Oh, that's sweet.
[00:12:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:12:48] Speaker A: Springtime, I guess.
[00:12:50] Speaker B: They're. They're good.
[00:12:51] Speaker A: I've seen them everywhere now, which I never paid attention to, but now there's a display at every.
[00:12:55] Speaker B: Shoveling in your mouth. One of these days. Days, that's what's gonna happen.
[00:13:00] Speaker A: It's so funny how when you find out about something, it's like every time I turn around, I'm like, there's another display of those crazy cakes.
[00:13:08] Speaker B: Yep. And it was funny because I saw this. I don't think I talked about it last week, but it was a funny, like, little Instagram TikTok thing or whatever. And it. It said it was along the lines of, like, you know, you're autistic when you order the same food over and over. They're like, oh, it Took me to be an adult to realize that I had some autistic, you know, tendencies and like ordering my chicken tenders and gravy everywhere I go if I have a chance. I was like, wow, there are a lot of things I just kind of just do the same and never change.
[00:13:40] Speaker A: But that's okay, I think, because I think it's. It's what's comfortable.
[00:13:43] Speaker B: It is. I like to be comfortable. I don't like to be uncomfortable.
[00:13:46] Speaker A: I think. I think that's kind of a lot of tendencies for people. Yeah, they tend to follow that same path because that's what's easy. You don't have to really think about it. No. And you know what you're getting.
[00:13:56] Speaker B: That's what I like. Yeah, I like to know what I'm getting.
[00:13:59] Speaker A: I want to. So yesterday my dad had pre op for surgeries having tomorrow. So I went with him in West Tulsa, which only time I'm really over there heels. I meet a friend there like once a month for lunch. But we went into Cracker Barrel. So I thought of you.
[00:14:14] Speaker B: Oh yeah. Cracker Barrel.
[00:14:15] Speaker A: My dad loves my mom and dad loved Cracker Barrel and he wanted to go there after his. He fasted for blood work and so he was hungry and we. His appointment was at 8:30 so it was perfect for just getting breakfast. And I didn't want him sitting in the Cracker Barrel by himself having breakfast because that would have been his first time without my mom because they always went together. And so I went with him. And I was laughing at you because I was like looking at these breakfasts that they were carrying out special. But guess what? He got my favorite. Oh my gosh. And he said as he's halfway through
[00:14:44] Speaker B: just a little bit country.
[00:14:47] Speaker A: That's what he ordered. About halfway through he goes, this is a lot of breakfast.
[00:14:51] Speaker B: Oh yeah, we split it.
[00:14:52] Speaker A: Yeah, he took it, you know, he took some home. Yeah. And then they have that five dollar thing that you can take home. I thought that is right up Amy's. It is a good deal.
[00:15:01] Speaker B: I haven't been to Cracker Barrel in a little bit though. It's been in their little country store.
[00:15:06] Speaker A: Yeah, I looked around, I didn't see anything I wanted, but I. I've been in a Cracker Barrel probably since the 80s.
[00:15:13] Speaker B: Yeah, it's good grits. If you're into grits like me.
[00:15:18] Speaker A: I do like grits salt. They have grits.
[00:15:20] Speaker B: Good grits there. I approve.
[00:15:21] Speaker A: I had a roommate from college that was from Georgia and grits was very familiar in Our house breakfast. They're pretty good.
[00:15:31] Speaker B: I love them.
[00:15:32] Speaker A: I haven't had them since college, but they're good in there. Well, I was laughing because I was like, oh, man, I should be texting Amy right now, sending her pictures of the food. She'll be driving out here salivating.
[00:15:44] Speaker B: Yep. Be right over there.
So y'.
[00:15:46] Speaker A: All.
[00:15:46] Speaker B: Y' all are gonna think I weigh like 400 pounds and I don't, but I sure eat like it.
[00:15:52] Speaker A: Not even close.
[00:15:53] Speaker B: I eat. I ate smidgens of all my favorite stuff.
[00:15:56] Speaker A: Yeah, well, that's like, I'll eat one
[00:15:58] Speaker B: chicken tender out of a kid's meal and dip in a little gravy, and we're good.
[00:16:01] Speaker A: So, so funny.
So, well, I made homemade pop tarts.
[00:16:06] Speaker B: How, How. How not good? Was that they or was it.
[00:16:11] Speaker A: They were pretty. I mean, I will say this. I started them too late at night, which was number one mistake.
They're kind of complicated. Which was the number two mistake. And back to number one at the same. At the time of night, it was even dumber. And so I got one cookie sheet done and I was done. I'm like, I'm not making. This is stupid. It was too hard and complicated. I. They actually, once I got them in the oven, but they were ugly when I. When I was doing them, I was like, there's no way. But once I put them in the oven, I baked them because I thought, I've already made them, I gotta bake them. They actually turned out really cute.
I didn't ice them because I was over.
[00:16:53] Speaker B: No, no icing.
[00:16:54] Speaker A: That's okay.
[00:16:55] Speaker B: Cake without ice.
[00:16:56] Speaker A: Well, I know it's. You're supposed to ice it. Which I would have iced it if I would have continued.
[00:17:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: But I gave up because they were so ugly.
And so I think if I would have iced them, they would have been even better because I did a raspberry center raspberry jelly, and I did everything like you're supposed to. I put the corn starch to make it the jelly thick so it doesn't absorb into the crust. And I did all the things. Egg wash. I've never egg washed anything.
[00:17:21] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:22] Speaker A: But I did it all. And they were ugly. And they weren't anything like you would see a pop Tart looking like. So I gave up really quickly because I was like, I don't have time or the care for doing this.
[00:17:33] Speaker B: That's why I get frustrated with cooking.
[00:17:35] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm like, I'm not that cook that's gonna, like, cut them out and be perfect. And then I. Then it was ugly and so I just gave up on them. And now I have a lot of crust with nowhere to go and no dip.
[00:17:48] Speaker B: Give it to the birds.
[00:17:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Will they eat crust? Raw crust?
[00:17:52] Speaker B: I bet. Try it. If not, a cat will.
[00:17:55] Speaker A: And then I'll have a whole backyard a full of dead birds. I'm gonna have to deal.
[00:17:58] Speaker B: Choke on the dough.
[00:17:59] Speaker A: Who are bloated because they ate raw cookie dough or. Yeah, Pop tart dough. I gave it my best shot and then I was done. I'm not that. I'm not that adventuresome when it comes to cooking, really. No, I need to stop trying those things because that's not really up my alley.
[00:18:16] Speaker B: No, I did start a sweet potato. I started two in a cup this week because I'm gonna. I mean, if the world comes to an end, I'm at least gonna have
[00:18:24] Speaker A: sweet potatoes to live off of, which you'll be important.
[00:18:28] Speaker B: So I put, I put them in the cup of water, you know, the ends of them with some toothpicks on it. And we're going to see if they'll sprout, which, you know, the sweet potato vine, which I like to do. And just buy a couple of those little plants at the beginning of summer. I pot them, obviously in a big pot so they start growing. And talk about something that is so easy to divide and grow, like, do not waste your money on more than two plants because it takes no time for those things to root in a bottle of water. You can have as many sweet potato vine plants as you want.
[00:18:59] Speaker A: And they spread so quickly.
[00:19:00] Speaker B: Oh, they do.
[00:19:01] Speaker A: They are a true vine.
[00:19:02] Speaker B: Love that green.
[00:19:03] Speaker A: I do too. I. There's not prettier than a sweet potato vine. Yeah. In the front of your house or in your flower bed mixed with like bright colored flowers.
[00:19:11] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:11] Speaker A: I always used to put them in a flower boxes in my. In front of my house. But when I painted my house, I didn't have it put the box back on the window. So I don't have that. But boy, that was sure pretty. I do like them. I think they're such a pretty color.
[00:19:24] Speaker B: So this. I think I'd already mentioned it to you maybe about the putting. Okay. People need to grow out their hair. That's usually everyone's complaint. Their hair isn't thick enough. It's not growing fast enough.
They put sprigs of rosemary in their shampoo and supposedly it really makes your hair grow. Like it's a really great remedy. A couple other people I saw, they add some ginger and Cinnamon. You can stop there. I mean, again, you might smell like lasagna. I don't know. You'll have to see.
[00:19:55] Speaker A: You're gonna smell like dinner. For sure.
[00:19:56] Speaker B: You're gonna smell like dinner. My gosh. My dog would be wrapped up in my hair. You don't want to leave them in there. The entire depends on the size of your shampoo bottle, because obviously it could maybe go rancid in there. So I would say strain it after, you know, leaving it in there for four to seven days, but supposedly it works really well.
[00:20:14] Speaker A: That would be an interesting smell on your head.
[00:20:16] Speaker B: I would like to know, unless this. That the smell in the shampoo overpowered it. I don't know, but I. I would. I would be interested to know. I mean, I'm not upset with the length or thickness of my hair right now, but. But if I were, I would try it.
[00:20:30] Speaker A: You know, I was following an influencer on Instagram, and she uses this product. She buys it from Amazon. I think it's called Nioxin. And her hair is just compared to what it used to be. She had extensions. She took the extensions out. Her hair was a disaster. And now her hair is just like this thick, crazy hair. And it just. While you're talking, I was like, I've been used. I just went through one bottle of that for the first time.
My hair grows so fast. Like, I'm still a few weeks out of getting my hair cut, and it's already way past the length of styling it correctly.
And that just hit me while you were talking. It's probably that product.
[00:21:08] Speaker B: I bet it is.
[00:21:09] Speaker A: And I hadn't even thought about that. I always thought it was the Peptides causing it, which I. It could be a combination of both.
[00:21:15] Speaker B: Because you're not taking your black seed, right?
[00:21:16] Speaker A: Of course.
[00:21:17] Speaker B: You're too big of a baby.
[00:21:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I can't handle it.
[00:21:20] Speaker B: My friend Tiffany is like, I can't. That's. I'm taking it.
[00:21:23] Speaker A: But it's.
[00:21:23] Speaker B: It's rough.
[00:21:24] Speaker A: Like, I.
[00:21:25] Speaker B: Does not bother me.
[00:21:26] Speaker A: I can't handle it. I can't even do it. And what's so funny is I put it in castor oil with frankincense and black seed oil and lot jojoba oil for my dad to put on his legs. And every time he shows up and I meet him at a doctor's appointment or something, I always get in his car because my dad arrives 30 minutes early, and so I have to get there 30 minutes early. So I'll get in the car to talk to him before time to go in. And his car just smells like black seed oil. And it just makes me laugh. Funny, because he's got it on his legs all the time.
[00:21:56] Speaker B: My brother is the same way. Like, he walks around smelling like an herb. Then I got used to it, and I'm like, well, I mean, there's something about smells kind of.
[00:22:03] Speaker A: But.
[00:22:04] Speaker B: But he has a lot of herb smell. But that's all he ever takes in. Yeah, like he's all organic.
[00:22:10] Speaker A: Well, that's. It was just funny because I remember when he was still going to the neuropathy clinic is when we started doing that to his legs. And the nurses were. Or the texts were always like, oh, I smell that. I smell the bentonine. Because we were putting bentonine on his toe. And I was like, no, you smell black seed oil. Because he reeks a black seed oil. Because his socks smell like it. Because, you know, we put it on his legs and then they put the socks back on him.
[00:22:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:34] Speaker A: So he just is a walking black seed oil bottle.
[00:22:38] Speaker B: Yeah, he's an herb.
[00:22:39] Speaker A: And so not only do I have to think about it, I smell it every time I'm around him. His house smells like black seed. You walk in his laundry room, it smells like black seed oil.
[00:22:48] Speaker B: I hope mine does.
[00:22:49] Speaker A: Well, it's a combo of black seed oil and. And frankincense, which both are pretty strong.
Pretty strong.
So he's got a combination going on. Yeah, well, he's healthy, man. Speaking of pomifera oil, we talked about it last week. I'm a big. I'm a big fan. I'm getting to be a bigger fan, but I actually signed up to promote them because I love them so much. And so I. It came yesterday, and they have this bottle of vitamin C serum. Yeah, it's like putting melted butter on your face. It is so nice. They have one called Plump. That's an oil that plumps your skin, which I need around my eyes. And then this vitamin C serum. I mean, I put it on my hands yesterday when it got here, just to my hands were glowing all day. Really?
So I'm a big believer in this pomifera stuff.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: I've heard.
[00:23:39] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a pomifera. Like, it's a big. It looks like an apple kind of, but it's kind of like the palm of your plant, the fruit from it. It's kind of rough on the outside, but it's a bright green, kind of like the sweet potato vines. But what they get on this oil, but it's. They got. They've got a hair oil, which I can't wait to try. I'm pretty excited about the hair oil. I've got a body oil all out of this pomifera. I'm a big fan. I'm going to be glowing.
[00:24:06] Speaker B: Let's see what I need a new foundation. Do you have any good ideas?
[00:24:09] Speaker A: No, but I really kind of want some too. Yeah.
[00:24:12] Speaker B: I don't want heavy, dewy and thin. That's good for aging skin.
[00:24:16] Speaker A: I know.
[00:24:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:18] Speaker A: I need to give up my old. But I'm. I'm hanging on by a thread because I still like it because it lasts all day and there's no blotchiness or. But it's kind of heavy and I've got.
[00:24:27] Speaker B: Yeah, you know, heavy.
[00:24:29] Speaker A: It's really laying in the wrinkles by the end of the day.
[00:24:32] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't like that. I don't want heavy at all.
[00:24:34] Speaker A: So that scent is. It's S, C E N T. Oh, it's supposed to be really. Yeah, that's supposed to be really light and good. It's sort of palette based and. But I don't know. I need to find one too. And supposedly I wear Estee Lauder. I have for years. The double wear.
[00:24:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:52] Speaker A: Which stays all day. And supposedly they're redoing the formulation so it's not so heavy. But it still lasts. I think for us old women that I probably complained that it's too heavy for wrinkles to wear. Blush. Yeah, I need some blush.
[00:25:09] Speaker B: Yeah. And I got. I've kind of moved to like a gel type, like a creamy gel blush, which I do think they last longer.
I have multiple ones, though.
[00:25:20] Speaker A: Oh, it's crazy about.
[00:25:22] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, they all do the same
[00:25:23] Speaker A: thing or just picking the right color. Yeah, mostly that. It.
[00:25:27] Speaker B: I do like that setting spray, though, by l'.
[00:25:29] Speaker A: Oreal.
[00:25:30] Speaker B: That's like a hairspray on your face.
[00:25:32] Speaker A: I've never been. I've never been happy with those.
[00:25:34] Speaker B: Have you tried that one? No, that's the one everyone, like, raves about.
[00:25:38] Speaker A: And.
[00:25:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I do. I do like it.
[00:25:41] Speaker A: Do you, do. Do you use dry shampoo?
[00:25:44] Speaker B: Yeah, sometimes when I especially like to use it. Like if I. Let's say I. You do it at night before you go to bed. They say use it like a deodorant, but I wanna. I cannot stand smelling all that. Like, it's just so. I can tell it's so much going in my lungs.
But there's one that you can make that's really so easy to do it's like three ingredients.
And you can Google it. You can, like, how to make DIY dry shampoo powder. And then you just kind of put it on with a brush, and then you would add cocoa to it. If you had dark hair and you didn't, you know, want to have a blonde residue. But I do want to make that, so.
[00:26:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I've never tried one.
[00:26:26] Speaker B: Really? Yeah. The sprays are just too much. I feel like.
[00:26:30] Speaker A: Well, I've used it on. On my mom, especially when she was in the hospital and skilled nursing, you know, just to kind of get her hair back to a style after being laying down for so much. And I didn't, like. I didn't love what it did to her hair.
[00:26:46] Speaker B: Yeah, it can be too much.
[00:26:47] Speaker A: Yeah. I just didn't feel like. Yeah, I did feel for sure. It built up. So I wasn't crazy about what it did for her. So I was like, I don't know. I don't know if I want to try it on myself, but I went to a gym. I'm not going to say the gym, but I never in my life felt so out of place because every girl in there was wearing matching skin.
Yeah. Their pants and their. Everything's their sports bra and their little jackets and their shoes. And I was like, it's intimidating because I didn't. And I think Lululemon's even out. I'm like, I don't know what these girls were wearing, but they were not Lululemon. I don't know if it was aloe either. Like, who. What it was. I was like, okay, never mind.
I just didn't enjoy it at all because it's too much. It was all like a fashion.
I'm like, are you girls here to work at? And I know that gyms have always had that.
[00:27:43] Speaker B: Gold's Gym. I mean, that's where I went. I was very dedicated when I was in college. And, I mean, I went in a T shirt and shorts.
[00:27:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:50] Speaker B: Fresh out of bed. There wasn't. But all these little outfits weren't. I guess there were. People had outfits, but it sure wasn't like this.
[00:27:57] Speaker A: Not like it is today, because, I mean, I worked. I was one of those that wore the outfits that matched, but not to this degree. This was way over the top.
Yeah. And the ponytails bopping everywhere. I was like, okay, I'm in the wrong place.
[00:28:12] Speaker B: Yeah, I know.
[00:28:13] Speaker A: I was shocked. I was like, okay, this isn't. This is not fun. So I left, Showed them right out there.
I don't. I don't have to work out in here.
It was bad.
[00:28:26] Speaker B: Did you join it?
[00:28:27] Speaker A: No, I was just. You get like. Yeah, just to see. I gotta get. I gotta start doing weights. Yeah, I need some muscle built back up. I used to have a lot of muscle and I stopped because of. Just couldn't recover. But now I think I could recover maybe and so. But boy, I need to get back in there.
[00:28:46] Speaker B: The reformer.
[00:28:48] Speaker A: Oh yeah, I tried those. I didn't like them.
[00:28:51] Speaker B: Well, how come?
[00:28:52] Speaker A: I don't know. I didn't enjoy it at all. Yeah, I dreaded going, that stinks. Yeah, it was too bad. But I only bought like a week trial and worked with somebody. I actually, I always try to work with somebody because that's. To me just they really kind of guide you through how it works and I didn't. I hated every second of it.
[00:29:09] Speaker B: Well, a boot camp sounds like hell to me.
[00:29:11] Speaker A: Oh yeah, you so I love to. I mean I could get into a boot camp, but not anymore. Yeah, no, not any. There's no way I would. In a million years you couldn't pay me enough to join a boot camp. Right now I can't even imagine going to like a boxing class.
[00:29:27] Speaker B: You know, I heard something interesting with, you know, I have to get injections and nerve ablations and stuff in my back. I have for many years I've held my back together.
And I was at the doctor yesterday and this is going to be something a lot of people might want to know if they do get that done. Because he was like, man, he said we've got a whole new thing we're having to add. And he was like, are you needing to get any ablation scheduled? And you know, in the next six months or so. I think he said six months or six weeks or something. And he said because now insurances, including community care, like some of the big ones, they have said now that the doctors are required that the patient is required to provide proof of an either physical therapy. Six weeks of it. It has to be documented, like, oh wow.
[00:30:16] Speaker A: Or you.
[00:30:17] Speaker B: Or you can do an at home routine and the doctor gives you a paper. Which is funny because people could totally.
[00:30:23] Speaker A: Of course.
[00:30:24] Speaker B: So you guys just want a stupid paper trail. I don't even get in it in the doctors because they're really like, this is taking so much more time to get. And I was like, well, what if before they will approve? So if somebody needs an. An injection, you're gonna, you're gonna have to wait six weeks to even get scheduled until you show. Six weeks of Going to physical therapy or whatever.
And I was said, well, you know, what if somebody. Because I look back at my neck injury and if I would have been told to go to physical therapy with that, it would have.
It probably would have caused more damage. I know that it would have. Like, there was no. I lost movement.
[00:30:57] Speaker A: Right, right.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: And he said, well, there is, you know, a caveat that if, you know, we just have to document that it created more pain, it created more issues or whatever. However, you know, it's not. I don't think it's gonna be that easy for people to be like, yep, nope, couldn't do it. But so if people out there do have to get those kind of things done.
Now, knees are different. We're talking. They were talking about low back and neck.
So I just think that was really. That is because crazy when you need that injection and it's time for it. I mean, it's time for it.
[00:31:26] Speaker A: Yeah. I watched my mom go through that.
[00:31:28] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:28] Speaker A: By that time you're in pain and you need it.
Well, I was going to say back on the gym clothes fashion pageant that was going on. Did you hear that marching band jackets are in for 2026?
[00:31:43] Speaker B: Like. Like letter jackets?
[00:31:44] Speaker A: No, those marching band. Like the directors of the marching band, they have those. All the little things on them and very structured collar and the gold buttons. No, it's like in for 2026.
[00:31:56] Speaker B: Really, as a fashion. Just like, as a. No, I haven't heard that yet.
[00:32:00] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:32:01] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:32:02] Speaker A: What do you think?
[00:32:03] Speaker B: I mean, I can't really picture what it looks like.
[00:32:06] Speaker A: Do you know, like the band director, the person that's up there with the baton, that's got the tall hat on and wear. And all the jacket has all the little.
[00:32:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I can't picture it.
[00:32:16] Speaker A: Person wears jacket.
[00:32:17] Speaker B: Interesting.
[00:32:18] Speaker A: It's very military, sort of Michael Jacksonish.
[00:32:21] Speaker B: Yeah, that.
[00:32:22] Speaker A: Remember his thing he wore that was all very structured with all the little gold buttons on it. It's very much that look.
[00:32:29] Speaker B: I remember saving up my allowance for some Michael Jackson sunglasses and. And I did. I saved them up, you know, because it had the little blinders on the side.
[00:32:37] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:32:37] Speaker B: Leather blinders.
[00:32:38] Speaker A: Yeah. That was a cute look.
[00:32:40] Speaker B: It was so good.
It was.
[00:32:42] Speaker A: How much did that cost you?
[00:32:43] Speaker B: It was better than the. Oh, I got them at the store called Wild Willies. So, you know, it was real special to get him there. But it was better than those. Those glasses that had the long chains that look like earrings because these kids don't know what they're missing out on.
[00:32:57] Speaker A: Well, I don't know.
[00:32:58] Speaker B: They're coming all back to the 80s.
[00:32:59] Speaker A: Well, kind of. It sounds like. Yeah, it's like the thing raging back in whether we like it or not.
[00:33:05] Speaker B: I do like the high waisted jeans.
[00:33:07] Speaker A: Yeah. But some of them really are like. Okay, that probably doesn't work.
[00:33:11] Speaker B: Really?
[00:33:12] Speaker A: Makes your belly look bigger.
Yeah.
[00:33:14] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't know how that would work.
[00:33:15] Speaker A: You gotta work that out, figure out somehow. True.
[00:33:19] Speaker B: So jeans, all these styles are coming back.
[00:33:23] Speaker A: It's crazy.
All right, well, we're out of time, so we will catch you next week.
Share us with your friends, like us. Do all the things.
[00:33:32] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:33:33] Speaker A: See you next week.
