Back with a Bang

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Break. And now we're back and I'm exhausted. I'm hanging on by a thread. [00:00:05] Speaker B: Then it's going to start all over for Christmas. [00:00:06] Speaker A: Two weeks. Yeah. [00:00:08] Speaker B: So Thanksgiving was fun. We had. It started out at my mother in law's. We had a little get together there for lunch. And then my best friend hosted Thanksgiving for Stephen. Had to work so he had to go in by four. So we spent it at a friend's. It's really the first time I've ever dinner friendsgiving thing. But it was so much fun. So we had a really good time. It was nice of them to do that and have the rest of us over. So we had a good time. [00:00:35] Speaker A: Mine was. This was the first one without my mom, so it was weird. [00:00:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:00:40] Speaker A: And then it was just my dad and I and so I just bought food. Dad did agree to wanting food. [00:00:46] Speaker B: Yeah. Which is an improvement from what he originally had said. So that's good. [00:00:50] Speaker A: Yeah, I thought that was really good. So I just went and bought meals for us instead of trying to make it right. And I was gonna do like a place setting for my mom, you know, because everybody always says remember them? But I thought it would be too sad, so I didn't. [00:01:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I couldn't do that. [00:01:06] Speaker A: I didn't want it to be sad. [00:01:07] Speaker B: I would stare at it the whole time. [00:01:09] Speaker A: Yeah. So I didn't. But you know, he talks about her nonstop. And so we talked about her a lot at lunch. But we didn't get sad. It was more just memories, which was nice. So it was a good day. I mean, I thought it was for. For what was going on and where we were and everything. I thought it went really well and it was a fun day with him. [00:01:30] Speaker B: Perfect. [00:01:30] Speaker A: Yeah. So I. I liked it. I didn't know what I was gonna get, but. And I don't. And on Christmas, I could care less if we ever have Christmas again. The traditional exchanging presents and stuff. I don't need to do that anymore. My mom loved it, but I don't care to do that. [00:01:46] Speaker B: Not a big deal anymore. [00:01:47] Speaker A: No. [00:01:47] Speaker B: So I take it you didn't buy anything at Black Friday. [00:01:51] Speaker A: I didn't, but I. I shop every day. Every day. [00:01:53] Speaker B: I know, right? That's what Stephen gets so mad. He's like, you make it so hard to buy for yourself. [00:01:58] Speaker A: For you. Like. [00:02:00] Speaker B: But yeah, he figures it out. [00:02:04] Speaker A: Well, that's what my mom, you know, my family always said to me is like you. When you just go buy for yourself, I'm like, well, yeah, because I need it. Then not, you know, a month from now. [00:02:13] Speaker B: Right. [00:02:13] Speaker A: So, yeah, I. I don't think I shopped any on Black Friday. But Black Friday starts so early now for so many. [00:02:19] Speaker B: All week long. [00:02:20] Speaker A: Yeah, it's early. And so you. Discounts without even. [00:02:23] Speaker B: There is a new red light that I want, and it's still on sale. You know, I have, like, a red light, like a panel that's probably about a foot and a half big, but it only suspends from my door, which is a real pain because I'm not opening and closing my door with a panel. So I always have to hold it to where I want it on my knee or on my back. It's just kind of a nuisance. So there's one that's on sale that has a. It's on a stand already, so you can angle it right over your body and you can lay down. So I think I want that for sure. It's a. I want one of those beds that you wrap your whole body. [00:03:00] Speaker A: I do, too. I really would like. I would never come out of that thing. It's like a sleeping bag, except it's red light. You slip right in it. [00:03:08] Speaker B: Yeah. So. And I want some more sweats from the Gap. I. I love mine. [00:03:14] Speaker A: So see, you have ideas for him. [00:03:16] Speaker B: Yes. But will he get there in time. [00:03:18] Speaker A: To get them right? Yes, they like to wait. [00:03:20] Speaker B: That's what was so funny, because last year I ended up Ironwrap. He got me some. I was like, what? [00:03:25] Speaker A: What? [00:03:25] Speaker B: I've never watched Snoopy in my life. And there were some Snoopy sweats. And I was like, what are you doing? Like, I can't wear these out. That's really. Rachel. It was so random. My boys were just waiting for me to open it too, because they were like, everyone died. Really? [00:03:41] Speaker A: I mean, Snoopy. [00:03:42] Speaker B: Snoopy. [00:03:43] Speaker A: I really want to try was what I've been reading about is hyperbaric chamber. [00:03:48] Speaker B: Mm. [00:03:48] Speaker A: Except it scares me a little bit. But I really do want to try it. But I guess you can't really buy a hyperbaric chain. I guess you could buy one for your house. [00:03:55] Speaker B: What scares you about it? [00:03:56] Speaker A: I don't know. I think just being in there. [00:03:59] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Claustrophobic wise? [00:04:00] Speaker A: No, not even claustrophobic, but just that high intense oxygen saturation. I don't know why. It probably. It's like, we get. We need it. But I was watching somebody. It's actually. They have two chairs in there, like, almost like lounge chairs. And they were talking about going into it, and the last time they went at 30 and they were trying to get them up to 100. [00:04:24] Speaker B: Wow. [00:04:24] Speaker A: And so you had to do it. You have to do it gradually. And I thought, well, that seems a little scary to me. [00:04:29] Speaker B: So you don't explode. [00:04:30] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm wondering what happens if you go fast. Does your brain explode? [00:04:34] Speaker B: It makes you wonder if it's like scuba diving. [00:04:36] Speaker A: Oh, it is. That's exactly what it is. Oh, pressure. So. Because he did. They did say that. So it's like going how far under you go down with scuba diving, you got to go down slow. That. So that kind of freaks me out, but I know it's really healing. [00:04:48] Speaker B: Yeah. I get too dizzy doing. I don't know. I get dizzy so easily. I was walking through some aisles this week, and I was looking to my left to look at something, and then. Well, actually just sitting right here demonstrating that to go to my left, to the right just creates so much dizziness. [00:05:05] Speaker A: Has that always been that way? [00:05:06] Speaker B: Yeah, I get. Yeah. I've never enjoyed looking, like, side to side. And I don't do well on rides that go in a circle of any kind. I mean, I will walk out throwing up off of a teacup. I did it. Just asked my kids over the fence. I couldn't even get out the gate of that ride. It was terrible. First ride of the day, so. And that's what's so bad, is I went to Six Flags with a family a couple years ago. I've never been invited back. Imagine that. [00:05:36] Speaker A: I embarrassed. You embarrassed? No. [00:05:37] Speaker B: I rode one ride the ship, and it. It. And it was so hot at Six Flags. So hot. Plus, I don't do rides much now because of my neck. Like, I used to do roller coasters. I would never risk that now. It was so hot there that there wasn't a single line for any ride. Like, you could go on the best ride over and over and over if you wanted. But I rode that ship and it triggered a migraine that was so intense. Like, I could not. I threw up in these people's car on the floorboard. Countless. Like, I called Stephen was like, have an ambulance waiting on me. Because there's no. Like, I'm depleted. I'm done. Which I'm surprised he didn't have one waiting on me because I was bad. Bad as bad as I ever could have been. Oh, yeah. I just don't. People talk about rides. I'm like, no, I'm out. [00:06:21] Speaker A: Yeah. I've only done one roller coaster in my life, and I'd never do another one. [00:06:24] Speaker B: Yeah. I could do roller coasters for the most part, I just cannot do swiveling my head. [00:06:29] Speaker A: They're going in circles. [00:06:30] Speaker B: No. [00:06:31] Speaker A: Yeah. I tried the old egg trick. [00:06:35] Speaker B: I've heard about this where you tap. [00:06:37] Speaker A: The egg with the back of a spoon when it's raw. Yes. And it sounds like you're going to break the egg, but you don't tap it. That. You just barely tap it. [00:06:44] Speaker B: You do it. [00:06:45] Speaker A: Sometimes it takes two to three times. Sometimes it was on the first try. Tap it with the back of the spoon. You can hear the click, click. And then all of a sudden, it's a pop. [00:06:54] Speaker B: My friend Amy said she tried it and was like, just. She couldn't believe it worked. [00:06:57] Speaker A: It worked. It literally releases the yolk and everything from the shell. And then when you boil it, it. The peeling or the shell slips right off. [00:07:05] Speaker B: So people need to Google if you don't know what we're talking about, put in, like, tapping egg before. Just tapping egg. Maybe that would. [00:07:13] Speaker A: That might pull it up. Yeah. [00:07:14] Speaker B: It is very interesting because I've seen videos. I just haven't tried it. But now I'm going to go home and try it. [00:07:18] Speaker A: You have to try it. Because I thought, there's no way. [00:07:20] Speaker B: I want to make egg salad, but I'm not willing to do the eggs. [00:07:23] Speaker A: Yeah. I hate. I. I was telling you, I have organic eggs, and you literally lose half your egg because it will not come off the shell. [00:07:30] Speaker B: And. [00:07:31] Speaker A: But this worked. And it's funny because I thought, oh, there's some sort of gimmick. There's no way. But you can hear the difference in the tap. When you tap the egg and it releases it. It's a different sound. And you're like, it just worked. And it works because then when you boil your eggs, it. The peeling or the. I keep saying peeling, but the shell literally just slides off. [00:07:52] Speaker B: Okay, I'm gonna do it when I get home. [00:07:53] Speaker A: So if you have to experiment a bunch of eggs. Yeah. [00:07:56] Speaker B: Speaking of eggs and farms, my sister's little. You know, she has a miniature farm that is. [00:08:01] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:08:01] Speaker B: The coolest place in the world. And we didn't get to see her over Thanksgiving because she had. They had 10 little goats or donkey goats. [00:08:12] Speaker A: Oh, those little tiny miniature. Yeah. [00:08:14] Speaker B: Ten of them were born that week between all her. It's like all the goats all got pregnant at the same time. I guess they had a stead that was really a stud. I don't even know if you call a goat a stud. I don't know. Somebody's gonna laugh knowing their farm stuff. But she had 10 little goats, so I need to go see them. [00:08:29] Speaker A: I love those little goats. They're so cute. They hop. Yes. [00:08:32] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, they're cute. [00:08:33] Speaker A: They are so cute. [00:08:35] Speaker B: And I keep seeing videos of people that have a sheep as a dog. I'm like, h, no, you don't need. [00:08:41] Speaker A: A sheep in your house. [00:08:42] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [00:08:45] Speaker A: Do that. Speaking of that, there was a guy on. I always watch that live PD if I'm up late. And they stopped this. I don't know. They didn't stop the guy, but they had stopped something. They were standing talking to somebody on the street, and this guy walks up with a raccoon on his shoulder. And the guy goes, is that a. That's a raccoon. The police officer said to him. And so they started talking to the guy, and it's his pet raccoon. It's potty trained. [00:09:12] Speaker B: I grew up with two of them. You know their names? [00:09:14] Speaker A: You had two pet raccoons? [00:09:15] Speaker B: Two pet raccoons, fully domesticated. Rocky and Daisy. That's my son's name and my dog's name. Yeah. My sister that has the farm, she had brought two raccoons home. We had a whole habitat for them and everything. No lie. [00:09:31] Speaker A: Crazy to me. [00:09:33] Speaker B: So you thought you were going to tell me something crazy? I'm like, nope, we had them. Of course I'm not. [00:09:39] Speaker A: Throw you something crazy. That's so crazy because it just hung out on his shoulder the whole time. Like a monkey. [00:09:45] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Their little hands are so cool because their little hands are like, little, like, they just little cold hands. You don't want a wild one? [00:09:52] Speaker A: No. Carry rabies. [00:09:56] Speaker B: Yeah. I wouldn't want anything to do with the wild ones. [00:09:58] Speaker A: Speaking of wild ones, there is a coyote hanging out in the neighborhood midtown. I'm sure there's more than one, but I keep seeing it and everybody keeps posting about it. But I was coming back to the office last week and it ran right beside me. So I turned around and came back and did a video of it because no one would believe me. There's a coyote in midtown Tulsa. And then I was like, whoa, there's a lady walking this little teeny, tiny dog up there. [00:10:22] Speaker B: Oh. [00:10:23] Speaker A: So I went up to her and I pulled up. I'm like, there's a coyote right there. [00:10:25] Speaker B: Is it at night? [00:10:26] Speaker A: No, it was middle. I was coming back to work in the middle of the day. [00:10:29] Speaker B: Wow. [00:10:30] Speaker A: And so she freaked her out. She goes, well, what should I do? And I'm like, well, it's on that next Intersection. And she said, well, I live right there. I'm like, well, you can probably get home. Because it was going the other way. But like my dad said, if they're hungry, they're not. You're not stopping them from getting your dog. And they're obviously coming in because they're hungry. [00:10:48] Speaker B: Holy. [00:10:49] Speaker A: But it's. And it is a scroung looking thing. It is not. [00:10:52] Speaker B: I saw this picture. Somebody posted a picture and I think I saw that and it was rough looking. [00:10:59] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, this one was too. And I mean every day there's somebody else posting about one. So they are definitely moving in. I said to somebody, they need to go back to where they came from. They said, they are where they came from. You invaded their life. [00:11:12] Speaker B: We've messed up. [00:11:13] Speaker A: Yeah, it's not so. And then, you know, I've told you about those new cameras I have that has AI on it. So it tells you specifically what it's seeing. I got up the one morning and I was getting ready to take my dog out and I had. I always look at my camera to make sure there's somebody, not somebody in my backyard. And it said, a red fox climbing your fence. And I thought, oh, there's no red fox. Sure enough, there's a red fox climbing my fence. Was in my backyard. Had just climbed and jumped over. I am fighting wildlife cameras. Those king. Those, those cameras are amazing. It tells you the mailman. There's a mailman just delivered your mail. The guys were doing the yard and it said, there's a leaf blower in your yard. There's a guy mowing your grass when I take my dog at it. So there's a lady walking her dog because it's got AI on it. So it's describing everything that's happening, which is great because like I said, it describes my car. There's a white Lexus in the driveway, backing out of the driveway. So if somebody does do something, you get the description of your car. [00:12:13] Speaker B: I've been through so many cameras, but I'll be adding those Rocky's friends. Somebody had. He was at her house. They've had their nativity scene wires cut twice. Not once. They got it fixed and they came back and somebody cut. And it's a clean cut. Like we've looked at it. Totally clean cut. And then somebody had gone by and threw a cup of pee all over his truck. I mean, like the audacity of people. It's like honestly disgusting. It's fun knowing there's cameras everywhere. Like there is. People are dumb. Yeah, real dumb. [00:12:46] Speaker A: And they don't care. [00:12:47] Speaker B: That's what the craziest thing that or they're drunk. Too drunk. Too care. I don't know. I can't even explain it. But Mike, that's. That's low. Both of those are really low. [00:12:58] Speaker A: I can't imagine not having cameras though there is such a security with that. Especially like I go out so much at five in the morning because I always have her with me because we do have wildlife in the neighborhood. And to go out there knowing that there's nobody back there because the cameras would have already alerted it. And you don't get very close to my house that I don't get an. [00:13:16] Speaker B: Alert people don't understand is that with cameras you've got. You've got personal cameras on homes. But once there's just like say the identity of a vehicle or tag a vehicle with a bumper falling off and a dent in the door. And people are so naive to. They just don't understand how the city camera system works and how it's almost not even fair to be a criminal anymore because you're going to get found. It's going to. Yeah, it's impossible. If you're going from point A to point B, your vehicle is your. We know who you are. [00:13:50] Speaker A: And those city cameras, that's the best thing they ever came up with for Rex or any of that thing. The fact that they can find out exactly what happened. [00:13:59] Speaker B: Realize. [00:14:00] Speaker A: Oh yeah, I think dash cams. I think we all should have dash cams. [00:14:03] Speaker B: Well, now the new AI glasses are coming out and that kind of freaks me out too. I don't like that. [00:14:07] Speaker A: I don't like talking to somebody. [00:14:09] Speaker B: Have a private conversation at a table and not know if the people next to you or recording or I don't. [00:14:15] Speaker A: Know, just even the person you're talking to. [00:14:17] Speaker B: Huh. [00:14:17] Speaker A: Do you don't know that they're not wearing a. [00:14:19] Speaker B: No. [00:14:20] Speaker A: The glasses. [00:14:21] Speaker B: And supposedly you can. They've already said like that light comes on. But people already said that's there's already been a way to bypass that light coming on. [00:14:28] Speaker A: I mean, yeah, I'm not crazy about. [00:14:29] Speaker B: Those like it either. I know we're already in. And some people are like, well you're already under surveillance. I get it. But we just keep adding and adding and adding to the surveillance. [00:14:38] Speaker A: But surveillance from like a city camera that's up on a pole isn't going to pick up your conversation. [00:14:44] Speaker B: No, exactly. [00:14:45] Speaker A: Somebody standing in front of you, it's. [00:14:47] Speaker B: Just so much more invasive. [00:14:48] Speaker A: I feel like up close and personal. [00:14:49] Speaker B: But yet we can't get cameras in nursing homes. [00:14:52] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:52] Speaker B: And like. Give me a break. [00:14:54] Speaker A: That's a whole other. [00:14:55] Speaker B: Huh. That's what I might. It's funny how we can get them everywhere else. You can get them in daycares, get them in the dog kennels, but they will not put them in nursing homes very easily, I'll tell you that. Tons of hoops to germ for certain places. I guess it depends on how criminal they are, honestly. [00:15:12] Speaker A: Right. I think that's what it comes down to. The ones that know what they're doing is wrong. [00:15:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:16] Speaker A: Is not going to let it happen. Cameras have saved lives though, man. They need to be. It's kind of sad that that's the life we're in now. But it's so true. Definitely need it. Well, I used face tape. You know, we talked about face tape a few weeks ago or however long ago that you wear at night. It's medical grade tape. [00:15:37] Speaker B: Right. [00:15:37] Speaker A: And it's a brand called Minty. And you use it on your face to prevent sleeping wrinkles. Which I have a ton because I'm a side sleeper. So I've been using them since. I don't know, it's probably been a month. Not consistently, but mostly most nights. I wore them two nights ago and took them off yesterday morning and took my skin off my face. [00:15:54] Speaker B: Right. [00:15:55] Speaker A: I think it's a sign of age that my skin is really thin, which is really sad, but right underneath my eye, which is not under my eye but more on the cheekbone, which is. I didn't think was that sensitive, but boy, it took the skin. I've got two little. Lovely. I see that marks on my face. Yeah. They were swollen yesterday. That's lovely. So I don't know about face tape anymore. I like the concept of it. There are a lot of women that are using face tape as opposed to Botox because it's really keeping the muscles from contracting and doing all the things it does while you sleep. [00:16:27] Speaker B: I don't know when I'll be ready to retire that. [00:16:31] Speaker A: Not anytime soon. [00:16:33] Speaker B: Yeah. No, no time soon for me on that. [00:16:35] Speaker A: But don't do face tape. I'm done with it, I guess. Well, not using. I'm just going to use around my eyes. [00:16:40] Speaker B: That. Or put the oil on it before you take it off. [00:16:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:16:42] Speaker B: And let it saturate. I think that would solve it. [00:16:45] Speaker A: Which is funny because, man, it sticks around your eyes like glue that's not budging. But like around your mouth and all that. It never really fully sticks. And so it always. By the morning it's kind of peeling off. But boy, around your face or your eyes, it's on there. [00:16:59] Speaker B: I had to really go get. I got Botox actually this week in my neck because it like these bands from when I had my neck surgery. This one just pulls so tight and it's just causing so much extra strain that doesn't need to be there. And it. It pulls in all kinds of places. Hopefully that helps this band because it's just so 100 bigger than the other side that was cut through. So it just creates. [00:17:29] Speaker A: Is that latisimal bands? Is that what you're. [00:17:31] Speaker B: I guess, yeah. Yeah. So we'll see how that works. We went a little more aggressive this time than we've tried it in the past. And it was helpful without a doubt because you could tell that it definitely helped take away that. That tension on him. But we'll hopefully we'll see this time if it does a little bit better. [00:17:47] Speaker A: Does it hurt to get it there? [00:17:48] Speaker B: Not really. No, not really. [00:17:50] Speaker A: I've been watching this plastic surgeon on social media. Nyack. He's in St. Louis. Holy cow. He's doing the deep plane facelifts like Kardashian had. [00:18:01] Speaker B: I can't watch that. I mean, I can watch it, but there's no way I would do a facelift. Not a chance. [00:18:06] Speaker A: The results are unbelievable with the fat transfer and the deep lane. This. There was a woman that he. If you haven't watched, go find his page. It's fascinating. [00:18:20] Speaker B: How do you spell it? [00:18:21] Speaker A: Nayak, I think it's N A Y a K. She looked like. I don't know, she's probably in her 60s. Really saggy skin. [00:18:28] Speaker B: Mm. [00:18:29] Speaker A: The woman looks like she's in her 30s. [00:18:31] Speaker B: Isn't that crazy? [00:18:32] Speaker A: That's shocking. [00:18:33] Speaker B: There is a lady that I watch on Instagram who just had one done in her 11 day progress has been. She has like no bruising. [00:18:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:42] Speaker B: It really. And she lives in California. I wish I could think of her name. She's a fitness lady and she was just like, you know, her face did not match her body and it didn't. I mean it had not. Because she really takes care of her body, but her face had just not aged the same. And she called it something different than a facelift. And I cannot remember what it was. I'll think of it maybe here in a minute. But it mean it was a good point. She's like, I just need my face to match what I put into my body. [00:19:11] Speaker A: Well, this Guy. There's very minimal bruising, and he even sews, like, the outsides of their eyes shut, which helps protect, like, the swelling underneath their eyes. It pulls that skin up, so it prevents some of that pulling of the skin to prevent that. So just for the first few days, the eyes are stitched shut on the outside. [00:19:30] Speaker B: I saw this on somebody, and I was shocked. [00:19:32] Speaker A: I can't stop watching his surgeries. He actually just did this week plastic surgery on a plastic surgeon. One of his colleagues in another came over from another country or city. She had an accent, so I don't know where he was from, but I think his plastic surgery for face starts at 110,000 and goes up. Can you imagine? [00:19:55] Speaker B: I can imagine asking Steven for that. [00:19:57] Speaker A: No way. Yeah. Like, imagine, though, spending 110,000 on your face. [00:20:02] Speaker B: And I get. There are so many people that do. [00:20:05] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:20:05] Speaker B: I mean, he's. [00:20:06] Speaker A: It's a year or two out to even get in to see him for your. Yeah. $110,000 and goes up. [00:20:13] Speaker B: Wow. No, can't. [00:20:15] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. I'm drinking that clear protein this morning from Shackley with. I put. I've been mixing it with apple cider, and that's really good. [00:20:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:24] Speaker A: Today I mixed it with my white cranberry juice. [00:20:29] Speaker B: Yeah. Not so bueno. [00:20:30] Speaker A: And it's like drinking poison. [00:20:32] Speaker B: Speaking of cranberries, I did that whole viral thing you see online. I got a bag of cranberries, washed them off, picked out any soft ones that were in there. I soaked them for 24 hours. I did a poppy drink. You know, the little. [00:20:46] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:20:47] Speaker B: Flavor. I don't know what the credit is anyways, so soaked them in a one can of poppy, and you can go. If you go to research, you can buy one can of poppy if you need to do that. And pick any flavor you want. Soak 24 hours, take them out of that, shake them in a bag of powdered sugar, and then pop them in the oven at 200 degrees for no more than five minutes and then put them in the fridge. Oh, they were so good. [00:21:11] Speaker A: I did that last year for my Christmas party. [00:21:14] Speaker B: Did you really? I loved him. [00:21:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:16] Speaker B: I need to put that on my list today. Buy cranberries. [00:21:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Because they pop when you put them in your mouth. [00:21:21] Speaker B: Yeah. It was just a fun conversation, but, like, the kids liked them. Daisy tried it out. She loved it. I couldn't give her any more because of all the sugar, but she would eat a plain cranberry, which I don't even know if the dogs can eat that. [00:21:32] Speaker A: Those things are. [00:21:33] Speaker B: She eats anything, she'll eat it. [00:21:35] Speaker A: I did that last year for my party, my Christmas party, and it was a big hit just because of the. [00:21:40] Speaker B: Yeah, it's fun. They're interesting. Yeah, that crunch. I tried to make some sweet potato fries. I think I didn't do very good on that for some reason. [00:21:49] Speaker A: I do love sweet potato fries, but I think they would be tricky to make. And make them really good. [00:21:53] Speaker B: Huh? I tried it in the air fryer, but they were still kind of squishy, like, I don't know why, but. [00:21:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I wonder. [00:21:58] Speaker B: There has to be a trick. [00:21:59] Speaker A: I've never tried to make them. Oh, man. Speaking of my Christmas party, that was so much fun last week. Yes, it was a good time. [00:22:07] Speaker B: You've been busy with that. [00:22:08] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh, I'm exhausted today. I. I overdid it because I had another seat at the table. I had one Saturday, had one last night and they stayed until 11:30. Last night was so much fun. And then I have another one on 29 December. Everybody was wanting to come and so I tried to push way too many and this girl is tired today. But it's been so much fun. And as we've talked about before, everyone is so very, very different. Last night was completely different than any of the others and. But really fun. So I have one more, the 29th, and then I haven't booked for next year yet. I've got to. Haven't had time to sit down, figure out who needs to come with who, but boy, oh, boy, it's been fun. [00:22:48] Speaker B: That's good. People are going to catch on and start doing the same thing. [00:22:52] Speaker A: Well, I've had a lot of people reach out and ask me how to. How I'm doing it and the dynamics of it. So it's. It's. I mean, boy, it's been. I'm lucky because I get to experience all of them. I've had last night, made 18 people that have been to dinner since September at my house. [00:23:09] Speaker B: That's incredible. [00:23:10] Speaker A: Which is fun. But then I've done in two years. Me too. Normally. Normally, yeah. So it's been really fun and I am so lucky that I get to experience it every month because it's. And the good news is once we go through everybody, then I'll flip the num. Flip the people and start over again. And you'll get to see new people. That's fine. Meet new people, which will be really fun. So I love it, but it's. I'm tired Today it's. [00:23:34] Speaker B: Yeah. You've been chatting it up. [00:23:36] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm talked out. Not really. I can still talk. Love to talk. And then I was going to tell you ChatGPT, your friend that you love so much. [00:23:45] Speaker B: I think you love. [00:23:46] Speaker A: I love ChatGPT. It's changing my life and definitely my work life for sure. I put a picture of my house from last summer I uploaded into Chat GPT and I told it I wanted to create a watercolor painting of my house in wintertime. [00:24:05] Speaker B: Love it. [00:24:05] Speaker A: And it added snow and it added garland to my front porch and it added a wreath to my front porch and wreaths on my glass and made it look like a watercolor painting. [00:24:14] Speaker B: I love it. [00:24:16] Speaker A: Pretty. [00:24:17] Speaker B: That's awesome. [00:24:18] Speaker A: I told her I wanted it more snow. So then it had it snowing in one and anyway, I'm using that for my Christmas card this year, which is a really fun idea. [00:24:28] Speaker B: Who will you have printed? [00:24:30] Speaker A: I'm looking at Canva can do it, actually. Canva. Is it Canva or is it. What's the other one? I use a lot. One of them, you order it through their website, but then they send it to the low a local like staples and then Staples printed it for you and you pick it up here and it's like a day later. [00:24:51] Speaker B: Okay. [00:24:51] Speaker A: I do that with all my invitations that I send out. Did you get my invitation in the mail? [00:24:56] Speaker B: Yeah, but I. I talked to you and so I was like, well, she knows I'm coming. [00:24:59] Speaker A: No, no, no. I know, but I just. [00:25:01] Speaker B: I did. Yeah. It was on the. [00:25:02] Speaker A: It's on my table, so it was so slow. [00:25:04] Speaker B: Oh, it's ridiculous. [00:25:05] Speaker A: People aren't not even getting them and it's like it's been in the mail for a week and it's local. [00:25:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Now you can't. It seems like you can't count on the mail. It's ridiculous. And it's more expensive than ever. [00:25:18] Speaker A: It is more expensive, but I like sending stuff in the mail. I feel like we get invites for so much from social media. [00:25:24] Speaker B: Oh, I miss so much because of that. Because I don't look at the right. [00:25:27] Speaker A: Yeah. And so I think if you really want somebody to show up for your party, you send them something in the mail. An actual invite through the mail system. I think you're right on that for sure, man. You got to send it three weeks in advance because it takes forever for them to get stuff out. I don't understand it. That happened for my party this summer. Same thing. Took them weeks to get it. People Were like, I still don't have the invite yet. I don't. I don't understand. [00:25:52] Speaker B: Well, I'd hate to be planning a wedding. [00:25:54] Speaker A: Well, you, I mean, you have to really plan. Yeah. To get it out there in time. It's nuts. Anyway. I didn't know some people hadn't heard from people. Well, everybody RSVP except for you. [00:26:06] Speaker B: Because I told you personally you missed that part. [00:26:11] Speaker A: I did. I just remember the fact you didn't like to put anything on your calendar. [00:26:14] Speaker B: Oh yeah. Well, but I showed up. I was there. Yeah, I totally thought you knew. Because I remember looking at the RCP thing, I'm like, well, she knows I. I'm coming. So I don't know where the disconnect was on there, but I'm glad I surprised you. [00:26:26] Speaker A: Yeah, you did surprise me. I was caught off guard. I was worried I didn't have something with your name on it. But we didn't get to do it anyway because it was too cold and it didn't work. It was cool. I did it by myself and it was meaningful. Yeah. [00:26:40] Speaker B: A kind of just like the you tell. My sciatic nerves driving me insane right now. It's like if I sit for too long, it just starts to firing off and we just injected for it. Kind of injected for it last week but man, it just drives me crazy. [00:26:55] Speaker A: Wonder what you can do about that. [00:26:57] Speaker B: I don't know. I'll figure it out. I'll figure something out. And it drives me nuts. [00:27:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Because that's painful. [00:27:05] Speaker B: I will say. I'm telling you what. It was so weird this morning because I, I do try to do the whole Asian squat thing. The fact that I can Asian squat. [00:27:14] Speaker A: The fact that you can Asian squat. [00:27:15] Speaker B: Knowing that I need a full on knee replacement. Let me tell you if anybody is out there that has lost range of motion in their knee because of needing a knee replacement. Like it is confirmed I need my knee replaced. I was. I had literally lost my flexibility in it overnight just because of the swelling and things like that. I have, I, I will every day I would say move five days a week I stand on that lacrosse ball and really loosen up my fascia on my feet and then I'll stretch and touch. I make sure my hands can go flat on the ground and then from there I go down into. I can. Let me just tell you, a month ago I could not just relax into an Asian squat. But now I can totally support myself with no hands on the ground. Fully Asian squat. Needing a knee replacement. It's astounding to me, it really does blow my mind. And I know it probably has to do with taking bcp. I know that has to have helped maybe, I assume, but you can even look at it and tell the inflammation's down, like it's not as swollen. But I think my commitment to trying to get to a back to a stretching point has made a big difference. So, man, if that's the case and somebody's in that situation, do not let yourself tighten up like that. [00:28:38] Speaker A: I don't even think. I don't even fat. I can't even fathom how I could get. [00:28:42] Speaker B: I've just got to get that muscle back now on my leg because it's really just kind of. I feel like withered away because it's. My leg's been so babied over it. [00:28:52] Speaker A: Yeah. And I used to just hang out in an Asian squat. That's how I would just sit, get back to it. I can't. I can't even imagine how I could start trying it. [00:29:02] Speaker B: Start roll that ball. Because I'm telling you, rolling that ball loosens up everything. It's the craziest thing. How it works. Start with that and then just start day by day touching the ground. Because I. It does feel so good to do that and then to kind of press your knees apart. And it's crazy how much it helps. [00:29:21] Speaker A: Speaking of bpc, I have a friend that has started taking it. She fell and sprained her ankle. And so she was getting it to help with her ankle. And then as her. She just got it like I think the day before. And then she got frozen shoulder, which is so common with women with low. No hormones. And she started injecting that into her shoulder. I would say a week later, maybe as a week. Maybe not quite a week. She was putting her hand up above her head. [00:29:49] Speaker B: Yeah, it was crazy. [00:29:51] Speaker A: Frozen. And she. That BPC on her first day, she got relief immediately. Then it kind of got worse the second day and then she did it again the third day. And then since then, it's just improved, improved, improved. I can't imagine my life without it now. [00:30:05] Speaker B: It's really made a big difference. [00:30:06] Speaker A: We're out of time. We made it. Next week. We'll see you next week.
