Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: We're back. Welcome back to the she Said podcast with Amy and Lisa. Number 11.
Say that in Spanish.
[00:00:07] Speaker B: I can't. I don't know. I was like, I only make it to 10. That's. I was like, we need to have a little Spanish lesson on numbers. That's a shame.
That's really pathetic that I don't know.
[00:00:16] Speaker A: Well, you know more than I do. I didn't know 10.
[00:00:19] Speaker B: My last name is Spanish, so my previous. My maiden name.
[00:00:24] Speaker A: That's true. I mean, you should know.
[00:00:27] Speaker B: Parents are only from Mexico. I should know how to count to 11.
[00:00:30] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:00:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:00:31] Speaker A: Feels bad now.
[00:00:31] Speaker B: Kind of bad.
[00:00:32] Speaker A: How was your weekend? Big Memorial Day.
[00:00:34] Speaker B: It was rainy.
Rainy. But I loved it. I mean, it was okay. I was. It really made you just lay low and take it slow.
Totally chilled. I did not feel guilty for doing a big fat nothing. So I actually really. I did work over the phone and take care of business and get taken care of like that, but relaxing. And I loved it.
[00:00:56] Speaker A: Yeah, that's.
[00:00:57] Speaker B: How about you?
[00:00:58] Speaker A: What did I do? Kind of the same. Because of the rain. You don't really want to get out. And by the way, we record this on Tuesday, even though you guys don't hear it till Thursday. So we just got back from.
[00:01:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:07] Speaker A: Holiday.
I went out with friends and went to see my dad.
Little things. Things like that.
[00:01:15] Speaker B: Yeah. I was so relaxed that Lisa called me today because I wasn't back yet. Lisa called me today and she was like, hey, did you forget? Like, I'm like, forget what? She's like, the podcast isn't like. Like clockwork. I mean, I'm here. I don't show up a minute late. Like, I am always here. So she knew something was wrong. And here I was just still at the lake, rolling in bed.
[00:01:36] Speaker A: When I. When you weren't here right at 9:30 that something was up.
[00:01:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:01:41] Speaker A: And you were still at the lake.
[00:01:42] Speaker B: Yeah, it was lazy town. It was nice to get, you know, take a break like that. But they canceled games over the weekend, which was really silly because it ended up being a really beautiful Saturday day, which is really annoying that they canceled the games because now we're stuck with makeup games during the week, and that has really messed up a lot of schedules. So there's that little tiff, but.
[00:02:04] Speaker A: And you missed the big super thunder. Is that what they called it?
[00:02:07] Speaker B: I did. I saw people posting about it, but I didn't hear it. Yeah, it was really crazy.
[00:02:12] Speaker A: Literally jumped out of my skin. I. My dog, all four legs came off the floor. Literally straight up in the air. So. Loudest thing I've ever heard.
[00:02:19] Speaker B: Well, the fireworks were really bad. I can say that because my dogs had to. I did give them some like, prescription buying because they were just beside themselves. They weren't expecting fireworks and either were.
[00:02:30] Speaker A: I. I wasn't either.
[00:02:31] Speaker B: Yeah, they were there. They were going on and they could not, I mean, hardly get breathe by the time I walked in.
[00:02:38] Speaker A: Thankfully my dog doesn't get bothered by that. But the thunder that clapped and literally shook for a long time. Not just like a normal. It rolled on forever. They said a normal lightning strike is like 35,000amps.
[00:02:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:53] Speaker A: This was a 220,000amp.
[00:02:55] Speaker B: Oh, I hadn't even heard that lightning. So where did it strike?
[00:02:59] Speaker A: Promenade Mall area. I don't know if it hit anything, but that's about where the strike was. It shook people.
Everybody was commenting from 21st in Lewis to. Yeah, that's very first in Peoria. It was.
It was pretty widespread. Everybody was convinced it was something explained or something.
[00:03:16] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Thank you.
[00:03:18] Speaker A: It was not fun. So we could get past all those storms any day now. And I would be.
[00:03:23] Speaker B: It's really. It is time for sunshine. Without a doubt.
[00:03:27] Speaker A: Yeah. So. Oh, the other thing I did over the weekend I should talk about is I have on the cancer podcast called Poison Bald and Still standing.
[00:03:36] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:03:37] Speaker A: And if anybody that knows me, they've heard the God bless you, girl story. I won't go to the whole story because it's kind of long, but I actually was able to have her back on the podcast and we got to tell the story. So it's something that we'd met during chemo. Yeah. And then eight years later we were able to do the podcast. So that was really fun. We did that Friday, I think last week. So that was kind of the kickoff to the. Been trying to get her on here. It's hard to get people scheduled.
[00:04:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:01] Speaker A: On podcasts. And I've been trying to get her back on.
And so we got that recorded, which was really fun. And guess what? I cried.
[00:04:07] Speaker B: Oh, no.
[00:04:11] Speaker A: Cry all the time. I tell that story because it's very touching and she's very kind person.
[00:04:15] Speaker B: That's awesome.
[00:04:16] Speaker A: So anyway, I have been going down a rabbit hole once again for trying to sleep because I mean, I tried new things and they work for a couple of nights and then I'm back. So I have been, you know, I have my whole. Now I have my whole schedule. We're about 8:30, I start winding down.
[00:04:32] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:04:33] Speaker A: But I gone down the Rabbit hole with red. I wear glasses that block blue light anyway, which I believe in 1000%.
Now I've been reading about, like light bulbs that. That are no longer blue light emitting.
[00:04:45] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: And obviously you can wear glasses that literally are red and the lights are red. And so that's my new rabbit hole. Have you any of that?
[00:04:53] Speaker B: So have you ever taken. Oh, and everyone needs to do this because this is going to blow your mind.
Take your camera, your iPhone and put it on the slo mo camera. Okay. Like, you know, you get your cinematic and all that. Put it on slow moving.
Put it to your lamp or your ceiling lights or anything like that. And just take a picture with it. Let the video start in slow motion.
Then when you're done, you will see the flickering that these. That these lights put off in our brain. And our brains are having to register this constantly. And that is the importance of. I. Because I bought my boys these steady lights instead. Not. Did they use them? No. But I tried to tell them you really need to use these red lights when you're studying instead of this horrible lighting that they've made a switch to. But there is just such a difference to. Because I guarantee we could probably. These are probably flickering right now. You know, those are in there. So, yeah.
[00:05:48] Speaker A: Fluorescent. Yeah.
[00:05:49] Speaker B: If any literally make do this little experiment, slow motion. Take a picture of your lamps. Take a picture of, you know, whatever. And you will be shocked at the flickering that your lights are doing when you don't even see it. But actually your brain is registering that and it's very difficult. This is why we're having such focusing.
[00:06:07] Speaker A: Issues and things like staying awake at night. Well, and I say I'm nodding my head while you're talking because you can even I happens all the time. I'm recording content for clients. I'm always recording and just a regular video watching somebody. There are. There is flickering on the video and it drives me crazy because I know it's the lighting. Yeah. Well, and then the other thing. I have a client that's a wellness clinic and she has her own supplemental line for supplements. And she. Her label's kind of a royal blue and the. The bottles that sit out versus the new ones, the label is completely faded a sky blue from a really deep royal blue. And it's from the UV light. All the UV rays coming off the light, it's fading her labels on her supplement. So that can only tell you what.
[00:06:53] Speaker B: Is that telling you?
[00:06:54] Speaker A: That's why you should wear sunscreen.
[00:06:56] Speaker B: You gotta pay attention to these Little bitty tweaks in our day. If we would really just make these.
[00:07:01] Speaker A: Little tweaks and wear sunscreen thinking of.
[00:07:04] Speaker B: These little weird things. Because I know you're going to laugh.
[00:07:06] Speaker A: At me, but, oh, no, this is not going to be good.
[00:07:11] Speaker B: Okay, so, you know, we've talked about grounding, you know, putting your feet, you know, people are all about. And they say, like, you know, obviously because we wear tennis shoes throughout the day, we aren't able to connect with the ground. You know, we are electric. There's no denying that you can, you know. Yes.
[00:07:27] Speaker A: That's why you get electrocardiogram when you go.
[00:07:30] Speaker B: Right. So. And they said, I saw. Did see a man talking yesterday. And he said, even when you have your shoes on, people forget. You can just walk up and just put your hands to the trunk of a tree and you are still grounding because that tree is still grounded. So we don't necessarily have to take our shoes off in order to ground. Okay, so this brings me to this friend that I've been seeing all over.
And people are, you know, you've always heard, talk to your plants, talk to your plants. Your plants will listen to you. And, well, that's never registered with me. I've never thought twice about it. You know what I mean? Well, people are literally walking up to their. To a tree, and you're getting a wide image of what's going on. There's not other people standing around and they're. They start talking to a tree and telling it, like, hey, touch my face tree. And I. Now, there is a science too, because it says it has something to do with, you know, your breath and air that's coming out of it that the tree is attracted to. But, okay, so trees are actually. They will come down and touch somebody on the shoulder or touch them on the face. And it's really crazy to watch. So just go in and start researching it and you will see it happening. It's crazy. But one story that somebody put in there that I thought was really neat is that her family had a lemon tree growing up and it would never put out any lemons. And I loved this comment. And her dad one day went and bought some lemons, brought it to the tree and was, this is what you're supposed to do, make us lemons. Like, where are lemons? This is what you do, tree. Produce us an abundance of lemons. After that season, the tree made so many lemons year after year after year that every season, like, that's what those kids do. They went and Delivered lemons, like, for free to all their neighbors because there were so many lemons, they could not possibly keep up with it. And they said that it was like, didn't happen until he connected and talked to that tree. So, yeah, I'm gonna go, but I'm gonna go see what happens.
[00:09:23] Speaker A: Well, you. I've always heard talk to the plants, that you should talk to your plants to help them grow.
[00:09:28] Speaker B: So what's behind this? Like, what is really, like, I want to know.
[00:09:33] Speaker A: I want a video of you talking to a tree. That's what I want.
[00:09:36] Speaker B: Some of my neighbors cameras are going to catch it and they're. What the heck?
[00:09:40] Speaker A: She's lost her mind. She's out talking to a tree branch.
I want to see it.
[00:09:45] Speaker B: Hey, I'll. I'll let you know. I'll do it. I'll take a video of it.
They better not make a liar out of me. Tree.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: Well, yeah, chop it down. It's probably. There's somebody shaking the branch and you're not seeing the person in the video.
[00:09:58] Speaker B: When I told Stephen, he's like, just stop. Like, you go out and ground all the time, so don't even act like you don't know about this, because you. He is huge on going out and putting his feet on the ground every day.
[00:10:09] Speaker A: I will tell you, I haven't done it in a while, but I used to do it all the time.
It totally does.
[00:10:16] Speaker B: Yes. He does it every day. Like, that is his thing. So.
[00:10:19] Speaker A: And the grounding sheets.
My friends use the grounding sheets, and they saw a huge difference. I have a grounding mat that I sleep on underneath my sheets.
[00:10:28] Speaker B: I want the sheets. I have the matt. Rubbery.
[00:10:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:32] Speaker B: So I don't use it like I should, but I do want the sheets really bad.
[00:10:37] Speaker A: It totally makes sense. And so I. I do think I did notice a big difference.
Now if we, you know, we're gonna. The ground so wet from all the rain, but I do think it really does work and it. It has helped a lot of people. So, yeah, I do want the sheets, too. But speaking of beds, I had this debate over the weekend with a friend, so. Do you make your bed every day?
[00:10:58] Speaker B: Oh, gosh, no. Don't. Okay. If I'm at the lake, I make my bed. It's really weird. I just. But I feel like it's because it's just minimalism there for me. Whereas at home it is not. And it's chaos and we have crazy schedules, and, you know, Stephen's up at totally different hours than me. And there's just. No, I don't. Don't do it.
I'm embarrassed to say that I don't.
[00:11:22] Speaker A: Well, I think it makes a huge difference. I'm a big believer in it. My mom. That's the first thing we had to do when we got up as little kids.
[00:11:28] Speaker B: Amazing. I never saw her bed not made. Not once in my life.
[00:11:31] Speaker A: Mine either. And my dad, even now living with my mom for so many years. I was over there Monday, and he was. We had. I had installed a new TV for him in his bedroom and he was having some trouble. So I went back there and I mean, that bed is made every day. I mean, literally before he leaves the room in the morning.
[00:11:48] Speaker B: I love it.
[00:11:49] Speaker A: He makes his bed. I'm not quite that good, but I do make it every day. And it does. I feel better when it's made. Like, I think it gives you structure for your day.
Obviously, it looks better, but I also think you sleep better getting back into a bed that.
[00:12:03] Speaker B: I love it. I love everything about it. And I don't know why. I don't. Maybe I just need to start. I'm gonna. You know what? I'm gonna make that my challenge.
[00:12:13] Speaker A: All right. Good idea.
[00:12:14] Speaker B: My bed is so big.
That is so big. It's just annoying.
[00:12:18] Speaker A: It's 18, 000 pillows that have to be stacked on top. That's a lot of work. Yeah.
[00:12:23] Speaker B: So maybe I just need to reduce that as well and go this minimalistic. Because it does. My life at the lake is just so much easier because it's minimalism. And it's amazing how much. Little less things we can get by with and be happy.
[00:12:36] Speaker A: I'm kind of on board with that too. I. I feel like in my life lately that's kind of been my priority is just to. It doesn't have to be everything.
[00:12:45] Speaker B: No.
[00:12:45] Speaker A: And I make everything big. Like, if I have people to my house. My mom used to always joke, lisa, you'd be way too much. No one cares. No one pays attention to all the details. I said. But I do.
[00:12:56] Speaker B: And I have a problem with that myself. Like, unless things are just perfect. Like, I don't want company because I really just want things to be in tip top shape and perfect. And therefore I feel like I'm missing out on life's opportunity. Life's all kinds of things. Because.
[00:13:09] Speaker A: Right.
[00:13:09] Speaker B: I feel like, oh, it's not perfect. When really I just need to be like, it's lived in. It's.
[00:13:15] Speaker A: It's okay.
[00:13:16] Speaker B: It's okay. Like, we've lived in our home for, you know, 20 years. And it's. It is what it is. It's a great house. But, you know. But I need to quit losing out, losing a moment, just because I think it's not perfect. It's not perfect.
[00:13:29] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm bad about it, too. And then if I have people over, I work so hard.
[00:13:35] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:13:36] Speaker A: Making everything extra, which I don't need to. It's good all the time. My house is always clean and always. Except now, because I'm still not back together from being gone for basically four months. But it always normally is. But then when I have people over, I spend so much time with all the extra stuff that when they finally get there, I'm exhausted and I can't enjoy myself, or I'm still working the whole time they're there instead of being the host and, you know, entertaining.
[00:14:06] Speaker B: My clients always admired people who can say, oh, hey, just come on over. Just stop by. And I'm like, what? Really? I mean, like, you don't care? And truly, their house is a mess.
[00:14:16] Speaker A: They don't care. Yeah.
[00:14:18] Speaker B: And I feel totally welcome. I feel at peace. I feel. I judge you. I actually feel like I feel at home.
[00:14:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:25] Speaker B: So I need to be. I need to let that guard down with myself and work on that, because, man, life happens. Not everybody's in the same season of life. And. No.
[00:14:33] Speaker A: And I think it. I mean, it's hard to maintain, but I think. I think also letting that guard down, I need to do that, too, because, man, it's just too much work. And I think scaling all that down and not making life so, you know, perfect, because it's where it wears you out.
[00:14:49] Speaker B: That's the creative side in us, I think, 1,000%. Yeah. Because my mom was always like, gosh, I wish I could do things like you, or I wish I did. And I never looked at my mom and thought, man, she doesn't put together.
But my mom always let me be creative growing up and do things like that. She would always let me move furniture around. She would always let me do that. And. But now, you know, I. I don't know. I've. In a way, I kind of feel like I've lost that a little bit. And that is truly, to my core, that is who I am, and it's what I love to do so well.
[00:15:20] Speaker A: And I. I think we talk about grief a lot, and I think we're both still in it. And I think the thing that is what's been interesting to me, and I see it in my dad I think that grief changes you. Oh, it does in so many ways.
I think it obviously changes perspective on things, but it just changes you as. As who you are as a person. And that's been weird for me. It's been weird for me to see my dad completely different person. And I feel like I am. But it's also, like, those little things that I feel like I did so much over the years for my mom, because my mom was a. Was very much about perfectly clean house, and my mom's house was immaculate. And growing up, we. Every Saturday.
That's what you did. You didn't do anything else.
[00:16:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I remember that. Those days.
[00:16:06] Speaker A: And so I. That's instilled in me. And so to have that not be the case right now just because I physically and mentally cannot.
That's really weird. But I think people. I didn't. I would never have understood that until I've gone through it and going through the grief. Yep. And just to touch on that real quick. And that's not something we were.
I don't want to dwell on every time, but it's where we are in life, and we're sort of. This podcast is about us and what we're going through. But people, I. What I found that you sometimes have to grieve in silence because people have moved on from your grief.
[00:16:40] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:16:41] Speaker A: And initially, they're all about you. They're checking on you and they're worried about you, and. But your grief doesn't end when they stop, when they've moved on. But they. I feel like sometimes when you're still grieving, which I am.
They're like, really?
[00:16:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Nobody gets it until they walk in your shoes. And even then. Then they're stuck in their own grief. They still can't. You know, it just is. It's a. It's literally a part of life that we all just have to figure out how to walk through, and it's all different.
[00:17:09] Speaker A: So I think that's what's. Because I feel like now I'm grieving in silence because I think my friends are like, okay, yeah, it's been three months or two months, however long it's been two months. But it's not. I'm not done. Like, I'm still in the middle of it. I don't know that you're come back. Yeah.
It's so funny because people are. They look at you like, oh, here we go. She's crying again. It's like. But that's where I am. So I didn't really want to touch on grief because it's. I know it's hard, but that's kind of where we are. But I do think that's where you and I both get it right. And where we are. But I've got to let go of that too, because it's. It's all consuming to keep your house at that. Oh, it is perfection level when you live in it every day and you have boys. I don't have.
I've got a dog that does plenty of disastrous things, but not like two boys. So I think it would be really hard for me. I'd struggle with it.
[00:18:02] Speaker B: Okay. So speaking of GRE, so there are some things on TikTok like that are really cool searches that come up and some of them are like, what are. Now that you no longer have a job at so and so place, what is some good, you know, what are some goods you can spill on a certain business or on your job? Isn't that kind of how you would take that post? Like, they like, okay, thousands of people comment and I mean, they're juicy. So kind of kind of popped up in here. We're talking about grief and stuff. So I'm like, well, it's interesting because we're in the season.
[00:18:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:18:34] Speaker B: Anyways, one said, she said, buy your casket. This is so weird, but, hey, my mom did all her stuff ahead of time and I thank you, Jesus, that she did buy your casket at Walmart or Costco. Because they said it, you can pre. Buy your casket at Walmart or Costco in advance. Well, a funeral director came on and she said, as a funeral director, yes, please buy it at Costco. And she said, because it is cheaper than what we can get them at wholesale. And I found that really interesting because there's so many little things that we don't know. I mean, it's, you know, it's just, it's very interesting.
I thought it just like when somebody passes, like if you have a checking account that say you want your dad, okay, your dad to have access to all the money in your checking account and you don't want it to have to go through probate and all this other stuff, you go to the bank and you say, I want this to be on a pay upon death. That's all it is. Pay upon death to this person with this Social Security number or to these people with these socials that is literally paid at the time of your death with a death certificate that is paid out without any issue. It is, they call it like a poor man's trust. Like it is the easiest thing to do that most people don't even know exists.
[00:19:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:19:48] Speaker B: But it, it resolves so many hurdles when it comes to your family members being able to get to your money instantly if it comes to funeral planning or things like that. But it's called pay upon death or pay on death pod. Just go to your bank account and have them do things like that. Little secrets. The other thing we're going to talk about was banking your own blood.
[00:20:08] Speaker A: Oh yeah.
[00:20:09] Speaker B: Something you dealt with. Something I dealt with. What was, how. What happened with you making your own blood?
[00:20:14] Speaker A: Well, I wanted it for myself. I was going through chemo and I.
To get a blood transfusion, which you happen, that happens often during chemo because your blood counts get so low from the poison in your body. And so I had reached the point where I needed red blood, I needed to don't. Your white blood, you know, gets low pretty quickly. But I was already, now I was depleting my red blood cells and I didn't want to, I didn't want to get a blood transfusion. I was mad that I didn't try to do my own blood. But what we have found out and what I found out, it's very hard to do. They push back on all of it.
But I didn't want to, but I had to because I was to the point where I was just going to be passing out all the time if I didn't get a transfusion. And so I went and obviously my body did not like it.
[00:20:56] Speaker B: Right.
[00:20:56] Speaker A: I got two pints and first of all, it takes all day, it's like an eight hour process to get two pints of blood. And I was so sick. I mean my body rejected the blood and I mean I have O negative blood so I can give blood to anybody. It's pretty universal. But I, but the antibodies and all that, that they have to match, first of all, it takes two hours to match it all. So it's a time consuming thing. And then it didn't. It was awful. I was so sick I'd never do it again. I'd have to, I'd figure out how to bank my own. But then I've tried to bank for people going through chemo that I can give them.
[00:21:27] Speaker B: Say there's not enough time, there's never.
[00:21:29] Speaker A: Enough time and they never want to do it. And they always have an answer why you can't do it. They always push back, push back. And then finally they go, well, we'll just, we'll go ahead and get them. They'll get a blood transfusion, but we'll give them credit because you donated blood even though it's not going to be yours.
[00:21:42] Speaker B: And you give them a stranger, but.
[00:21:43] Speaker A: It'S a stranger's blood that they don't test for.
[00:21:45] Speaker B: So when we went through this with my mom, she had to get, you know, trans transfusion when we did not expect it to happen. And you know, my mom was very good about for herself, you know, she did not want the vaccine and she had quit doing the flu shot many years before that, like, and that was all on her own. And so when we found out that she had to get a transfusion, we were like, okay, great, but how does she get unvaccinated blood? That, that is a big deal to somebody who doesn't get vaccinated. Like, they want unvaccinated blood. And I'm like, you know, she didn't go through that big of a fight this whole time to stay unvaccinated to end up getting it.
[00:22:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:24] Speaker B: Not the doctor knew. He was completely baffled. Well, I don't think they differentiate. I'm like, do they not differentiate? Like, what do they not. The nurses didn't know. Like it was really this big hurdle. So then after I got on the phone with Oklahoma Blood Institute, like I had to start making calls because nobody was going to help me out. I can tell you that right now. So kind of find out. You have to find out if you're going to have an elective surgery. Sometimes you are just out of luck. You're just not going to have. It's too late.
[00:22:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:50] Speaker B: However, know this. If you're going to go have a knee surgery or some other kind of elective surgery and maybe there is a chance an artery could be hit or you could have it, like freak things happen. So just because it isn't a major surgery, don't think something weird couldn't happen.
You can make arrangements through whatever facility you're going to. You find out who the blood bank is that they supply to because they have contracts. Okay. And you have to make plans anywhere from three to six weeks in advance to start banking your blood for that surgery. And sometimes it can actually save you money. And that was what the hospital told me, is that it actually saves that patient money if they make their own blood because then they're not paying for some strangers blood. So now the logistics of that, I do not know. That's neither here nor there. But you know, I. I can tell you this. My mom never. She didn't have a clotting issue until all that took place. And you know, that's when we ran into some more problems. But anyways, know if you're going to have a surgery, know the facility you're going to, who they have, who their banking contract is with and start making the arrangements up to six weeks early so you can really get. Maybe call. Start calling eight weeks early so you can know their game plan in case it is a six weeks, you know, six week deal.
[00:24:04] Speaker A: Yeah, I would try as early as possible because they, that's their, that's their comeback every time.
[00:24:08] Speaker B: So long.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: Right.
[00:24:09] Speaker B: So yeah, no, I had phone numbers, I made phone calls and it was, but it was just too, she had to get it too quickly. But, but I'll tell you what, when I put it on my Facebook, the amount of people were willing to donate for her for friends were just amazing.
[00:24:22] Speaker A: Well and I think the key to that is timing. And most, most of the time in my experience the blood, the need for a blood donation is urgent.
It's not something that that can you have time to for so that's usually they're always. Their answer is not enough time because I've tried it from multiple cancer patients trying to blood. I know there is a lot of testing that has to be done. The antibodies all have to match, not just the O type or the negative or whatever that is. So it is a process. But boy, it should be nice if you could get your own. Yeah, it would be because especially now with the vaccines there are like some people can't have the flu vaccine. They're highly allergic.
[00:24:59] Speaker B: We have always stayed away from that for our boys and for a good reason, for a hereditary reason, we have stayed away from that. So if they were to have to get, you know, a transfusion and got that flu vaccine, we could run into some real issue. So how do they keep from. I mean, you know what I mean? How they're not able to separate it with all this science, separate all that stuff out of it or it makes.
[00:25:22] Speaker A: You wonder because they, they certainly test for hiv, things like that. Because you have to. I mean there's a whole process that you go through when you donate blood about that.
[00:25:31] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:25:32] Speaker A: So there is, there are tests to do it. I just don't think they're doing that right. And that seems like something that should be added especially with the COVID vaccine. Especially now.
[00:25:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:42] Speaker A: Knowing what they know now after the fact that it would make sense to test for that and have separate. Well, I haven't had any luck and I've tried it Multiple times. And every single time I get shut down. So. But I started taking. I've mentioned it here a few times. Is a liquid biocell collagen.
[00:25:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:59] Speaker A: Which has saved my achy joints completely. It is a type 2, which is what matches the type in our body. And you know, you start depleting collagen at the age of 21. It starts going away in your joints. Collagen's everywhere and all your organs and. And so after I finished chemo, I was really struggling with crazy joint pain. And I have a friend that's a nurse in Louisville and she was taking this collagen that was really helping a need during her CrossFit days. And so I had reached out to her and she. I said, do you think it'll help me and my poor aging body? I mean I got to the point where I hated to go to restaurants because I would finish eating and then my. We'd be done and my friends would get up and walk out and I was still back trying to get out of the restaurant.
210 year old. That's when I really noticed it because you sat there for an hour and a half, two hours for a dinner. And then I touched up. Yeah, I can't stand up. And then I'm hobbling like I need a walker. And so I started taking it and I've been on it for maybe four years. Totally changed, totally changed my pain level. I mean it saved me, it saved my mom's back. She got off pain meds with taking it and anyway, company that was making it that I completely swear by closed a month ago and everybody was just panicked. I've got people with rheumatoid arthritis taking it. That's completely changed their pain.
And anyway, it's back and so I can buy. I can start getting it again tomorrow. And so I've just.
[00:27:23] Speaker B: That's why your phone's been blown up.
[00:27:25] Speaker A: I've got so many people coming back wanting, wanting to buy it. So I'm really excited about that.
[00:27:29] Speaker B: So I can attest to that. Her phone has been going off non stop and she's like, well, more collagen.
[00:27:34] Speaker A: Everybody's wanting. It really helps in all aspects of joint pain or hair, skin. The amount of. I don't really do it for my skin. But the, the before and after pictures of people with taking it is kind of crazy.
[00:27:48] Speaker B: Well, you showed me that picture not.
[00:27:50] Speaker A: Too long ago of myself.
[00:27:51] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:27:52] Speaker A: Yeah, it's scary.
[00:27:53] Speaker B: That was crazy. That was a crazy difference.
[00:27:55] Speaker A: Yeah. Medical grade skin care and collagen, I think, are the two things that's made a big difference in my, in my skin. But anyway, so tomorrow it's back. So we're really excited about that because it's, it's a game changer if you're looking for something for joint pain and if you've got some skin issues or for people that have thinning hair.
Game changer for getting your hair back, growing your hair back. So that's launching tomorrow and I'm very excited about that.
[00:28:20] Speaker B: Good.
[00:28:21] Speaker A: I think we're done.
[00:28:22] Speaker B: I think we are too. I'm like, I always, sometimes I'm like, well, I don't know what we're going to talk about. Well, then we don't shut up.
[00:28:28] Speaker A: So we, we just figure a minute too. Today too. We had a lot going on. All right, we will see you guys next week.
[00:28:35] Speaker B: Catch you later.
[00:28:36] Speaker A: Amy makes it on time. If I show up. Yes.
[00:28:39] Speaker B: I'll be talking to the trees.
[00:28:41] Speaker A: That's right.
