Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Okay. Welcome back to the she Said podcast with Amy and Lisa. We're back again.
[00:00:05] Speaker B: We've made it. Third time's a charm.
[00:00:07] Speaker A: The weeks go by or the week go weekend.
[00:00:09] Speaker B: I guess it goes by really quickly.
[00:00:10] Speaker A: It's kind of nuts.
[00:00:12] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:00:12] Speaker A: Fast it goes. Hey, so I wanted to touch back real quick on the. Because I've had people ask me about the shot in your knee before a knee replacement. Apparently there's a lot of women that needs knee.
[00:00:22] Speaker B: Well, we're all falling apart. Yeah. Speaking of that, my dog, my hundred pound dog bumped her rear end into my knee and buckled it. So. So I'm extra. It's hurting this week, so. Thank you, Daisy.
[00:00:35] Speaker A: Well, I got the shot for you. Although they say it doesn't help before the surgery, it helps after surgery. Okay. So my friend sent me the details because she heard our podcast and obviously I had a lot of errors on that podcast. It's called Biovera I O V E R A Cold Therapy. And they do a series of injections of this freezing agent that blocks the nerve responsible for pain after surgery. So you get it two weeks before your surgery.
[00:01:06] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:01:06] Speaker A: And then it helps after the surgery. She said the pain level after day three, my pain level was manageable with Tylenol only. Wow. And she started on the stationary bike. I said after two weeks. It was after two days. She was riding the stationary bike. She said completely different from the recovery nine years earlier from her other knee. So.
[00:01:26] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:01:26] Speaker A: Ask for that from your dog Dr. If you're thinking about knee replacement because it help her recovery. And they're saying that that's made a big difference on recovery. Wow. And making recovery so much easier.
[00:01:36] Speaker B: So owner of insurance pays for that, I believe.
[00:01:38] Speaker A: Lovely little. Because it's part of pain management, so you don't have to be on narcotics for pain afterwards, which helps with so many things. Okay.
[00:01:46] Speaker B: Good to know.
[00:01:48] Speaker A: I have a point where you're wearing diapers.
[00:01:50] Speaker B: Yeah. And your diapers.
Key words, diapers.
[00:01:55] Speaker A: And I also want to touch base really quickly on the nads.
[00:01:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:01:59] Speaker A: So we talked last week about that. I was NAD plus, which is a peptide.
[00:02:03] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:02:05] Speaker A: Take twice a week. And so I started it last Tuesday.
[00:02:07] Speaker B: It's an injection. Right.
[00:02:08] Speaker A: It's an injection in your stomach because they use little tiny insulin needles. You don't feel it. Okay. A little stinging maybe, but not bad. I took my first one last Tuesday. So I take my third dose today. Okay. I'm on the lowest dose, which is 0.5 milliliters, Tuesday, Thursday. Didn't know what to expect. But I didn't notice any.
You know, I'm not all of a sudden acting like a 20 year old, like I was hoping would happen, but. However, this weekend, I got down on the floor and got back up and crawled around on the floor cutting out a new piece of carpet.
[00:02:38] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:02:38] Speaker A: Crawled around on the floor, got back up after I got up easily and got down easily. I realized sitting there. Hold on a minute. Usually before I get down on the floor, I've got to like, think about. Okay, which is the best way to get down. So I don't have my counter. Yeah. And then I go find something to help myself up. And then I get up looking like I must be 210 years old. I got down and bounced right back and didn't think about it till like 20 minutes later.
[00:03:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:03:01] Speaker A: Did it take effect that fast? I don't know. I feel like it did because two things have happened since then. I also take a liquid biocell collagen, which I know has helped me because it's helped me in the past. I kind of got off of it because my mom was in the hospital. I'm back on it. Literally guzzling it like it's Kool Aid.
[00:03:17] Speaker B: Right.
[00:03:17] Speaker A: And I know that helps as well, but I do think the NAD plus has already kicked in and it's like the fountain of youth. So. Just saying.
[00:03:25] Speaker B: Everyone definitely needs to know how to get our hands on that.
[00:03:29] Speaker A: Yes. So Kinetic Clin, the is the clinic. Karen Ochelle is the nurse practitioner. So if you're interested in the NAD.
[00:03:36] Speaker B: Plus, did you happen to get prices on that?
[00:03:39] Speaker A: I did not, but I will have it. And then. But just give them a call and tell them that Amy and Lisa sent you. And it can. It can work. I think it's working. I'm pretty excited. So I go up a dough. I go up to 10 today. You're supposed to each week work up to the max is 50ml.
[00:03:55] Speaker B: Work on getting a code.
[00:03:57] Speaker A: Yes. I want to get a code for everybody so that you can just tell them code and they'll know where. Where you came from.
[00:04:03] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:03] Speaker A: Because we want us all to like, turn back the clock.
[00:04:06] Speaker B: Definitely interested in not having to use a cabinet, pull myself up and you.
[00:04:11] Speaker A: Know, I have a dog, a little tiny dog that gets her ball underneath every piece of furniture.
[00:04:15] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:04:16] Speaker A: And I have to stand there and go, okay, wait a minute now how's the best way to get down that? I'm not going to jack my knee or my hip up.
[00:04:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Because knee hurts.
[00:04:23] Speaker A: So okay. And on that same note, I follow a physical fitness trainer. Yeah, I think we follow the same person. I think you follow her, too. She was posting yesterday that she. Her. She's had a streak of gray hair that she really wanted to go gray. Did you see it?
[00:04:38] Speaker B: Okay. I happened to click past it, and I was like, darn it, why did I click past that? Because I was interested to hear she's reversing her gray hair.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: So her gray hair has gone back to her natural color.
[00:04:47] Speaker B: What is she doing?
[00:04:49] Speaker A: She contributed it to several things. One, she's been on the melanin, which is the Barbie doll peptide that we talked about that turns your skin tan. She's been on that forever.
[00:04:59] Speaker B: And she thinks Erin Opria is her name.
[00:05:01] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:05:01] Speaker B: E R I N. And she used to be Carrie Underwood's trainer. Yeah.
[00:05:06] Speaker A: She trains a lot of the celebrities in Nashville. So she's been on the melanin. Melatonin or what? Melanin. I forgot what it's called now, but the Barbie peptide. Just say that for a long, long, long time.
[00:05:18] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:05:19] Speaker A: And then she's also on the carnivore diet, which does. That's the better way to go. Now, that's the new thing. Because if it's a high protein, she eats only red meat. Okay. She eats no vegetables.
[00:05:31] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:05:32] Speaker A: Only red meat and fat. So her fats consist of avocado and, like, sweet potatoes, and then she does all beef, like red meat. She does lamb, and she does a lot of different types of meat. Anyway, she's reversed her gray, which she was actually trying to go gray, so it's the opposite of what she wanted. So something to think about on that.
[00:05:51] Speaker B: It looks so much better because I remember she had gone through this phase of. She was way too skinny. Like, I thought something was wrong with her.
[00:05:59] Speaker A: Well, she. Because she started training for that triathlon. She's still really thin, but she's just pure muscle.
[00:06:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:06:05] Speaker A: It's fascinating to watch.
[00:06:07] Speaker B: She just looks healthier, though, than she did for a while.
[00:06:10] Speaker A: She.
[00:06:10] Speaker B: Because she had that knee. She messed her knee really bad. Remember that? Anyways, but she does just. She looks better than she did. She's so muscular anyways.
[00:06:19] Speaker A: And she's a peptide queen. So.
[00:06:21] Speaker B: Yeah, follow back up on her because I'm. I used to watch her a lot, but she did pop up in there, Erin, yesterday. So it's funny you mentioned that, because I was like, oh, I need to know what she's.
[00:06:30] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:30] Speaker B: What she's doing.
[00:06:31] Speaker A: She does everything, though. She's on so many different peptides. She does them all and she's, she's. It's kind of fascinating to watch her. So anyway, just my take on the Barbie. Barbie doll. Peptide.
[00:06:42] Speaker B: Okay. All right.
[00:06:43] Speaker A: I'm gonna. I'm gonna try it and see if it'll make my hair go back to my natural color. Not that this isn't my natural color. I'm just saying.
[00:06:50] Speaker B: Is it?
[00:06:50] Speaker A: No.
[00:06:51] Speaker B: Okay. Well, I wasn't. I wasn't.
[00:06:53] Speaker A: No.
[00:06:53] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:06:54] Speaker A: Now my natural color now since chemo is gray.
[00:06:56] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:06:57] Speaker A: I'm all gray. So dark. D. Dark. Like dark black. Originally, Originally, originally when I was.
[00:07:02] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:07:02] Speaker A: Before I started coloring it.
[00:07:04] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:07:04] Speaker A: And then it came back in white. Not white.
[00:07:07] Speaker B: Right.
[00:07:07] Speaker A: Gray. Like ugly gray. Drab gray. No color, because it takes all the.
[00:07:10] Speaker B: Color really come out. People come out with different colors.
[00:07:13] Speaker A: Yeah. One girl came out with dark black hair. She had blonde hair naturally.
[00:07:17] Speaker B: So. Interesting.
[00:07:18] Speaker A: Yeah. It throws everything off. And now you have curly hair when you had straight and all this stuff. So it's just bizarre. But no, I'd like to go back to dark. It would be fine just for, you know, we.
[00:07:28] Speaker B: Pretty blonde hair, though.
[00:07:29] Speaker A: Thank you.
[00:07:30] Speaker B: Well. Oh, well. Yeah. Don't we all? I know. So I got my. My blood work came back. You know, I waited, I feel like two weeks because I was just convinced, you know, the sky is falling. Well, something's, you know, something's wrong.
[00:07:44] Speaker A: 50.
[00:07:44] Speaker B: What's going on? Yep, I'm fine.
[00:07:47] Speaker A: Nothing's wrong.
[00:07:48] Speaker B: Nothing. I mean, my. Everything. I mean, I. I fell really at the good mid range of everything.
[00:07:53] Speaker A: I mean, that's nice. It.
[00:07:56] Speaker B: But I guess maybe I just need to sleep more. He. He gave me a few suggestions that if I wanted to, I could take some dhea. I could do that. Said if I. I'd already raised my vitamin D a good. A good amount, so I could raise that a little bit more. And my B12, I could raise that a smidge more if I wanted. But no matter what, I was still in the good. So I'm still not menopause.
[00:08:22] Speaker A: Your hormone counts were good. Good. Oh, good.
[00:08:25] Speaker B: Everything's good. I'm still happy, man.
[00:08:30] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:08:30] Speaker B: I know.
I don't know what I am. I'm.
[00:08:34] Speaker A: That's.
[00:08:36] Speaker B: Did we call that purgatory? I don't know where I am.
[00:08:38] Speaker A: Well, but still, if you haven't started, that's. That's really good.
[00:08:42] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess not.
[00:08:43] Speaker A: I think they told me when I was. Went in for my testing when I was diagnosed with uterine cancer that you're pre menopause and Then menopause, and then Perry, and all those things can start when you're 45.
[00:08:55] Speaker B: He did say that. I mean, so I. I don't know. I mean, and of course, that's. That's really.
[00:09:00] Speaker A: This.
[00:09:00] Speaker B: I think they really don't. I feel like they don't really know if you are. If you aren't on that. I mean, they go, you know, hey, that can go on for 10 years. And, you know, I'm like, well, that's real helpful.
[00:09:09] Speaker A: True.
[00:09:10] Speaker B: But, no, I don't know what I am.
[00:09:12] Speaker A: That's awesome.
[00:09:13] Speaker B: So.
[00:09:14] Speaker A: But do you feel like. Do you feel good?
[00:09:16] Speaker B: Well, I wasn't feeling good, but then I'm like, was my mind playing games with me? What I. I don't know, do I have? Was I just feeling really weighed down by just life in general, by, you know, sadness from my parents and the weight of that. Of them passing? I mean, there was a lot of anchors weighing me down, too. So maybe do I feel a little better knowing that I'm not. Maybe I have made more of an effort to get up, get dressed, get out the door, you know, every day that can.
[00:09:46] Speaker A: That does make a difference, a huge difference.
[00:09:48] Speaker B: To be ready when, you know, if the phone rings and you got to be, you know, hey, I got. I am ready to go out the door and do something with my day at a moment's notice. Otherwise, you know, if you're not. You are sad and you are depressed, and so. So I don't know. There's a lot of factors that play a role, and I am a summer person, so winter is hard on me. Winter is hard on my whole family. Yeah, we want to be outside. We want sun. We. So this has not been an easy winner for us.
[00:10:19] Speaker A: Well, there's a lot to be said. I mean, there is a thing with just sunshine and how it makes you feel. People do get depressed in the winter time. Just. The daylight's shorter, all of that. The. The cold weather. I think it does take a toll.
[00:10:33] Speaker B: Yeah. So I don't know. I mean, here I am. I mean, the whole. I. Like I said, I did my blood work, the whole mammogram thing, I'm still out in limbo with that.
[00:10:44] Speaker A: Getting one, huh?
[00:10:46] Speaker B: I've still not done that, but I do. I. You know, I worry about things like that getting too much of that.
[00:10:53] Speaker A: Oh, I know.
[00:10:54] Speaker B: And I'm like, you know, I think they start forcing some of that stuff really quick. You know, you get confused on that.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: So I was. I was in the same boat. I didn't know it either.
[00:11:03] Speaker B: So I. Yeah, so I've not done that. At some point, I'll get that scheduled. I know there'll be a lot of mixed reviews on that.
[00:11:11] Speaker A: So you get to run the whole program yourself. Nobody else gets to tell you what to do.
[00:11:16] Speaker B: Right. So for sure. Anyway. So. Okay. I brought two things today that were completely random on makeup tips.
[00:11:28] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:11:28] Speaker B: That I. That I tried so far. I'm like, I think. I think they work. And one of them is, and it's from this girl named Nina Poole off Tick Tock. And one is a chafing gel Walmart brand equate. I don't know why I'm losing my voice right now. And this is supposed to be.
You can put it on to, like, help fill your pores or anything. And it really gives you a super smooth finish on your face.
[00:11:58] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:11:58] Speaker B: Oh. I mean, it's. I mean, it really gives you, like, a photo finish, has the same ingredients as some of the more expensive things. Takes a very small amount. You can get it for like three to four dollars.
[00:12:10] Speaker A: And you put that on before your makeup, your baby.
[00:12:12] Speaker B: So the way you can. What I've done is after I put on my foundation, I just kind of put a little dollop on my hand and just kind of pat it in those few places that I felt like I just need to have a little bit of matte, mattifying, you know what I mean, to cover up any pores. Okay. And the other thing is, you can get this at the Dollar Tree. Okay. And it's the arm and hammer foot powder. It's talc free. Okay. It's A$25 for this huge container, and it is like a setting powder, and it's translucent. You can wear it under your eyes. Like, I've got it under my eyes right now. Kind of dusted it on my forehead. And it's a setting powder. No.
[00:12:49] Speaker A: For your makeup?
[00:12:50] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, it is pretty cool. Huge. Try it. I mean, so anyways, this Nina pool girl, she's kind of fun to watch on Tick Tock. And she's on the spectrum. She totally talks about it. She has been a huge hit. But she gives all kinds of dupe to, like, the high end brands. And she's super quirky, super smart, and she goes through all the ingredient breakdowns of all kinds of things that. Things that match ingredients and. But just go look for on Tick Tock because she's. She is really interesting to watch. Anyway, so these were just two things that I picked up, and I was like, okay, I'm gonna try and see what she thinks. So a chafing gel. That's so funny on your face. And then the talc free foot powder from the dollar tree. Something just different to try.
[00:13:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:13:34] Speaker B: So there you go.
[00:13:36] Speaker A: Sometimes it doesn't have to be expensive.
[00:13:38] Speaker B: No, no. And Lord knows I've tried plenty of expensive.
[00:13:42] Speaker A: Oh, me too. And they're all sitting in my. Yeah. Cabinet.
[00:13:45] Speaker B: Exactly. So, yeah.
[00:13:47] Speaker A: Use them a couple times. And you're like, that did not work. No, we, we were talking about places we've eaten.
[00:13:53] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Okay. I bought some of those.
[00:13:55] Speaker A: I'm on a little circuit of trying new restaurants. Or I was. And I'm kind of getting back on that. So I went to Cheevers. Okay. On Cherry Street.
[00:14:06] Speaker B: Never have been to Achievers, ever.
[00:14:08] Speaker A: I don't even know how long it's been there.
[00:14:10] Speaker B: I don't time. I hear, oh, a long time. If I'm thinking of the right Cheevers that I'm thinking of. It's been there a long time.
[00:14:17] Speaker A: It used to. It's in the building that Zoller Design was in on Cherry street across from that mi. Casino Mexican restaurant. Used to be a men's clothing store.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: Used to be on Harvard.
[00:14:28] Speaker A: Oh, I don't know.
[00:14:29] Speaker B: I could have sworn it was there for a long time.
[00:14:31] Speaker A: Well, I went there with a friend.
It's. I'm, I'm all about, like, if I'm going to go to a restaurant, I want food to be good. I don't really care so much about the food because I'm not a foodie. But I want the restaurant to be really cool. I want the lighting fixtures to be fun. I want to, want to take a picture of the lighting fixtures. Like I want it to be a cool looking restaurant.
[00:14:50] Speaker B: Right.
[00:14:50] Speaker A: This was in an old Cherry street building. Zoller Design was in there forever. That's how I remember the building. And it was okay. The way it was designed, it wasn't spectacular. The bar was kind of pretty, but not that great. The food was actually really, really good.
[00:15:04] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:15:05] Speaker A: They. I'd ordered a ribeye and it came out the size of my head. It was 14 ounces. Like, who eats 14 ounces?
But I mean, it was definitely good. And it was packed reservations. Yeah. Apparently that's the way to go.
[00:15:20] Speaker B: Are you correct, by the way, that opened December 2024?
[00:15:25] Speaker A: Oh, I was thinking it was pretty new.
[00:15:27] Speaker B: I was thinking of a sandwich shop. Then the one on Harvard.
[00:15:30] Speaker A: Oh, oh, I know what you're talking about. No, this is, this is A sit down.
[00:15:34] Speaker B: Okay, sorry. Go ahead.
[00:15:36] Speaker A: Restaurant. You got a rib eye. 14 ounces. And it was good. They have. Oh, I can't believe them. I can think of the name of it. I love them so much. Rib. I'm like, beef. What's it called?
[00:15:47] Speaker B: Ribeye.
[00:15:48] Speaker A: No. Oh, come on. I cannot think of the name of them. I love it. No. Look up Cheever's menu real quick.
[00:15:55] Speaker B: No, I don't know.
[00:15:56] Speaker A: Prime rib. But the. It's almost like roast beef. You cook them forever.
Darn it. Sorry.
[00:16:03] Speaker B: I should have had that foodie either. Just tenders and gravy.
[00:16:07] Speaker A: Oh, man. Anyway, we'll. We'll come back to that. We'll tell you what that is. I'll look it up while we're talking. But anyway, the food's good and.
[00:16:14] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:16:14] Speaker A: You know, the question is, would you go back? And I would definitely go back.
[00:16:17] Speaker B: Okay. So I went to the Old Faithful Cafe Olay on Brookside.
[00:16:23] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:16:24] Speaker B: You know, there for a while, they kind of had a little bit of trouble because they. So I changed their menu. Yeah, well, they went back to their old manager, came back Colby, and their original chef came back. They brought back the old menu. And so I went on the patio last week and lo and behold, it is fantastic. One of their old waitresses back there and they. It was so funny because they all. I also was like, you know, can I get. Have they gone back to the big size glasses? Because I got a Dr. Pepper.
[00:16:56] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, Huge.
[00:16:58] Speaker B: Well, they go back to like these little, tiny, small, small glass.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:17:00] Speaker B: You needed refilled like every 10 sips. And she laughed and she was like, yes, yes. I'll definitely give you the big glasses. And. But they have the best specials throughout the week. And they do. They're five dollar. You get two street tacos for five dollars. They do their popular queso for five dollars.
[00:17:20] Speaker A: You can.
[00:17:21] Speaker B: There's all kind. They have five dollar margaritas and all this goes on to like four o'clock every day. Like Monday through Friday. I mean, Monday through Thursday.
I don't think it included Friday.
[00:17:31] Speaker A: But.
[00:17:32] Speaker B: But they're. The two street tacos were great because I was like, I got steak. They have steak, chicken, maybe the brisket. Definitely go to Cafe LA throughout the week. It's a great. You know, so they used to be.
[00:17:42] Speaker A: One of my clients years ago, before they sold. Yeah, it's a great, great patio.
[00:17:47] Speaker B: Yeah, always good.
[00:17:49] Speaker A: It's seasonal. You can be out there all season. I mean, all seasons. Yeah.
[00:17:52] Speaker B: Now, of course. Now, of course. Go back there. Now Cracker Barrel on Tulsa Hills. My goodness. I mean we just keep. We love Cracker Barrel. Love just the idea of Cracker Barrel. Now something has happened since 2020 there and I don't know what is going on. But I mean the grandma special, we want it because it's got pancakes, grits, eggs and bacon and that's enough to split a plate. However, just their service is not working for us and it hasn't for a long time. And we are not picky people. Like, we are easy to please, but nothing comes out at the same time. Food. The grits bowls look like they are half eaten out of. They're slopped over the side. They. You can get three bowls of grits and all of them are a different, different level. Like that's what I mean. They. Some look like they've been eaten out of and this is consistently like multiple times this has happened. The manager is never helping out the waitresses and they can be slammed and I don't know. It's just been really disappointing.
Yeah. So. But they still get business. But I will say if somebody needs to get like little tiny flower girl dresses for a wedding, they have got the most unique little tiny girl clothes in there.
[00:19:03] Speaker A: Oh. In the boutique area.
[00:19:04] Speaker B: She has the cutest little sweet little girl stuff. So keep that in mind.
[00:19:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Beef short ribs.
[00:19:13] Speaker B: Beef short ribs.
[00:19:14] Speaker A: Geez. Because you don't see that in many restaurants.
[00:19:17] Speaker B: They're so good.
[00:19:19] Speaker A: So they serve him there.
[00:19:20] Speaker B: It would probably never order that. I'm.
[00:19:22] Speaker A: Oh really?
[00:19:23] Speaker B: No. I'm just so like plain Jane.
[00:19:26] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:19:26] Speaker B: Chicken nuggets and gravy.
[00:19:28] Speaker A: Google invited me down. I don't even know. It's been years ago to their main campus in San Diego area. And they, you know, Google, I don't know what they are like now, but back then, this is six years ago, it was post cancer. So at least six or seven. They have their own five star chef and they cook three meals for their employees.
[00:19:48] Speaker B: Fun.
[00:19:49] Speaker A: The whole thing is like they've got. They. Their idea is you. They come to work and they want to stay at work. They don't want to have to leave because they want it so much fun at work. They don't ever go home. Wow. And they work all the, all these hours.
[00:19:59] Speaker B: Golden handcuffs.
[00:20:00] Speaker A: Yeah. So they have like little snack bars throughout the building and just candy everywhere. And then they serve them really full meals three times a day. And so they had buffet set up for us and they had served short ribs. It's the first time I'd ever had them And I was like, what in the world is this?
[00:20:17] Speaker B: My mom. I could cook.
[00:20:18] Speaker A: Whoa. Oh, man. So that's kind of when I was introduced to short ribs. And now not many people serve them. So. Anyway, so Cheevers definitely go back Cafe la. Definitely go back Cracker Barrel.
[00:20:31] Speaker B: Get their act together.
[00:20:32] Speaker A: Use at your own description.
[00:20:33] Speaker B: My grandma special's gotta get better. TV shows.
[00:20:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:20:37] Speaker B: What have you. Have you watched it?
[00:20:38] Speaker A: No, I'm terrible.
[00:20:40] Speaker B: Okay, so then did I mention Dirty Dan last time?
[00:20:44] Speaker A: Well, no, but you mentioned it to me. So what? I don't even know what that is.
[00:20:47] Speaker B: Okay, so it's on Netflix. I stumbled across it. Dirty Dan. I mean, people need to watch. I'm not a big series person, but you can kind of like knock out the series because it's just. It's not dirty. Just Dan is dirty.
[00:21:00] Speaker A: Like dirty.
[00:21:01] Speaker B: Dirty is just a dirty dog. Like, he did his wife so wrong.
[00:21:04] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:21:04] Speaker B: You know, she helped him get through medical school and law school. And of course she became the wife who was there to support him fully. She buried his four children. She was the wife that helped support him. He could never have made it through that. And then, lo and behold, Dan started dating his secretary, gave her a good job. And then Dan decides to start cheating. So. And of course says his wife is crazy.
[00:21:31] Speaker A: Don't they all say that?
[00:21:32] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a true story. It's a very interesting story. And. And she is still in prison today. He and she ended up. And she did go crazy.
[00:21:42] Speaker A: His wife is in prison.
[00:21:43] Speaker B: She is still in prison because she killed Fan. Oh, she killed him and his mistress.
[00:21:49] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:21:50] Speaker B: And it's a. Or it. Which became his wife later. It's a really jacked up story. But it's a good story because it's really scary how many situations there are because if you go and you look at the comments within Tick Tock and Facebook and all the her following on the story, it's really sad how many similar stories there are to this. Not necessarily the death part of it, but just how many similar stories there are to this. So definitely watch Dirty Dan.
[00:22:17] Speaker A: That's crazy.
[00:22:18] Speaker B: Yeah, there's a lot of Dan.
[00:22:19] Speaker A: Oh, let me tell you. I could introduce you to about 25.
Yeah, there's a ton.
[00:22:26] Speaker B: Yeah. So yeah, it's really sad, but it's a good story. And the other one was on Hulu. The American Family. Good American Family, I think. And that's about that girl who was adopted and is. Has dwarf. The dwarf syndrome, whatever. Yeah. And they couldn't decide if she was 17 years old or 7 years old.
[00:22:46] Speaker A: Oh, you were talking about that.
[00:22:48] Speaker B: Totally a crazy story. True story. Again, definitely need to watch that. Okay, so those two are kind of leave you.
[00:22:55] Speaker A: Let's watch. You know, speaking of comments in on like you see on Tick Tock and it's amazing when you see all these horrible comments on anybody that posts anything, it's always women. Have you noticed that?
[00:23:07] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:23:08] Speaker A: You never see men jump on there and rate a mother because their son, their daughter's still sucking on a pacifier. Or it's like, why is it that women cannot support other women? It just drives me insane.
[00:23:18] Speaker B: Nope. You know, I noticed that even last night because there was something. It was one American Idol thing Carrie Underwood had posted, in my opinion was a very pretty picture of her. She didn't have any makeup. It was just her. She had had her. Some bread she had made because, you know, she's very much a homemaker. Like, loves to cook, has her farm and she had her bread. And the amount of meanness of women just berating her on her appearance anymore because of the. And she did. She had a horrible accident.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: Right.
[00:23:52] Speaker B: Fell, bro. I mean, even her wrist had to be reconstructed. And but like, how horrible people are. As if she's not going to see these things.
[00:23:59] Speaker A: I don't understand it.
[00:24:00] Speaker B: People feel like they got to put it out there if you want to think it or have a conversation in private. But to put it on social media.
[00:24:06] Speaker A: And tell somebody so mean.
[00:24:09] Speaker B: I will never, ever, ever understand it.
[00:24:11] Speaker A: No, I don't either. I don't get it.
[00:24:13] Speaker B: And even the. And just like this, like doing this, this is ultra. Like, this is hard for me to come out. Like you asked me, hey, what does your circle of friends think? Like when I had to tell you. Well, I haven't shared it yet.
[00:24:24] Speaker A: Right.
[00:24:24] Speaker B: Why? Because I'm insecure about it. This is because, you know, people are going to find a reason to.
[00:24:28] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:24:29] Speaker B: Say, you know, because I know you're out there. Somebody's gonna say something mean about it. Like they're gonna find a way to be negative about it. What? Who does she think she is? I mean, I don't think I'm anybody. Trust me, I'm very paranoid about doing this.
[00:24:41] Speaker A: Right.
[00:24:41] Speaker B: Lisa grabbed me and said, let's jump in with both feet. So here I am. But the best thing. And I find myself like, you know what? I see girls out there all the time that are beautiful. I'm like, you know, I'm supporting them. Click. I like what you're doing. Yeah, I like what you're doing. And I also see myself sometimes thinking, I'm gonna pass it up. I don't need to do that. I need to like and support, like, and support other women, period.
[00:25:03] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. And that's kind of why I started this whole she said Facebook page and Instagram account. Because of that reason, I. I think I've had so many women show up for me, especially, like, when I was diagnosed with cancer. I think the greatest story is I had met a girl at the boxing gym that I was going to. We hung out a little bit in groups. I didn't know her that well, haven't talked to her since. But during my chemo treatment, every Friday, which was the day I went to treatment, she showed up every Friday, pulled up in my driveway, got out, put a gift on my front porch, and left every Friday for 18 rounds of chemo. And it was little things. Like, one day it was just a cantaloupe in a gift bag saying, I'm thinking about you today. The next week, it was all the ingredients for a healthy protein shake. The next time, it was a magazine. And, I mean, it was just little things. And she will. And I would sit there because I always had someone taking me to chemo, and I was waiting on a ride to come pick me up, and I would watch her just pull in.
[00:26:00] Speaker B: That's amazing.
[00:26:01] Speaker A: Walk out, put a gift on my porch, get in the car, and leave. And I would just sit there and cry because I'm like, who does that? Like, what kind of person is that kind?
[00:26:09] Speaker B: What a lesson for all of us.
[00:26:10] Speaker A: It taught me a huge lesson. And then I got a card in the mail weekly from a lady I'd never met before, knew my mom, and knew I had cancer. And that has changed my whole opinion on friendship.
I left people behind, my friends behind that I realized were not really true friends to me. And I have got a whole new circle of friends that are truly good friends to me. And it taught me so many lessons about what it's like to be a real friend. I had a friend show up yesterday over here. And we just sat here for four hours and talked. And I cried, of course, because just dealing with my mom's death, and that's what a friendship is. And I was. I was telling you earlier, I was in the grocery store yesterday, past this beautiful woman in the grocery store. I thought it to myself, wow, she's stunning. Did I say it to her? No, but she said it to me. She said, you look. I thought she Said I look delicate. She said, elegant. And I walked to the store for the next five minutes going, delicate. Do I really look delicate? She finally, I figured that was elegant. And I thought, what. I mean, it made my day. Yes. Since you're having such a bad day, you've got, you know, I'm sad, I'm crying all the time. And then a woman just casually says, you look delicate today. And it makes a big difference. So I think, you know, this whole podcast and. And it's about women showing up for women and having that tribe of people that. I mean, I have a whole group coming from my mom's memorial service just to support me driving, you know, 45 minutes away. And. And that's. That's what I think we need more of, is just girls showing up for girls and girls supporting girls and being there for each other and complimenting, because it makes everybody needs it. Just like you're talking about. I think you're stunning, but you have insecurities. And so big time. We just need to show up for one another.
[00:27:55] Speaker B: And actually, well, even my youngest son, he'll hear me compliment other women or even total strangers. In the drive through, for instance, there was a girl at the drive through, and I was like, you've got the prettiest smile. And he was like, that's so weird. Why would you tell her like, ty? Because she does, and that will make her day.
[00:28:14] Speaker A: Like, that is nice.
[00:28:15] Speaker B: And it's so funny. I remember when I was walking into quick trip and this old man. It was so cute because I like, that is. That is the best thing you could ever say to somebody. And I was walking in a quick trip, and obviously I was frowning or something, I don't know. And he was like, oh, excuse me, ma'am. You. You dropped something back there. And I go, oh, I did. And he was like, yeah, you dropped your smile. It's like, honestly, that was such. He. I hyped that smile up so fast. But the way you gotta make people smile.
[00:28:41] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:42] Speaker B: And my dad was so good about that. It's important.
[00:28:45] Speaker A: It is.
[00:28:46] Speaker B: I mean, at the end of the day, that's what we've got. I mean, and we have to. And I do. I feel like I've. I've lost that over the years. And we have to help each other as women. Yeah. And we do. We gotta find our gifts. And I will say, this is a gift of mine. Talking with people is a gift. And. And I've lost that along the way. And it's time for me to find my way again. And so thank you.
[00:29:13] Speaker A: Oh, you're welcome. I knew you were the first recognizing.
[00:29:16] Speaker B: This in me and just picking up the phone and saying, let's do this. So I appreciate that.
[00:29:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I think, I mean, I, I think we all have people in our lives that are, I mean, that whole saying of people in your life for a reason, a season and a lifetime. And I think it's true. And I think we don't appreciate the ones that are there for the lifetime and that are really there to support you whenever you need it and however you need it. And having some people show up for you when the moment you need them the most make all the difference in the world. I just think about text messages I get every day from someone saying, just checking on you. I had a girl call me last night and said, I'm just thinking about you today. Just how's it going? What's going on? She lives in Kentucky, she's, you know, busy. But just that little phone call makes all the difference in the world. And I, that's the whole reason for this podcast is to find women, find your group and just be there for each other all the time.
[00:30:16] Speaker B: You know, there's a broker, Susan beach, and she is a class act. And she's not even, she's not even my broker. I mean, I, I work for Cobalt Banker and But Susan, I've only known her through work. And my mom, my mom never even got to meet Susan.
Susan always knew my story with my dad. And she showed up for my mom by sending my mom these beautiful cards. I think it might have been every month or every week. I mean, and they, they weren't cheap cards. They were just beautiful, very sincere, hand picked. So much thought were put into them. My mom looked forward to them. And when my mom passed away, I found these cards she had kept. And my mom didn't keep everything. I mean, but she kept Susan's cards. I was like, what a class act. That it just Susan picked my mom to care for in that way and never even. We were all supposed to go to lunch. It never happened.
[00:31:16] Speaker A: Unfortunately, when you, they want someone to meet your mother.
[00:31:19] Speaker B: Just that Susan took the time to do that for somebody she never even met.
[00:31:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I had a lady, like I said, my mom, one of my. That knew my mom sent me a card every week during email and I, People ask me all the time, you know what, My friend just got diagnosed, what are, what's the best thing I can do for her and one check on her and do that. Because that card in the mail makes all the difference in the world. It's just crazy how, you know, cards are kind of gone by the wayside. We don't. We don't get cards. But I think about how many cards I've gotten since my mom passed away from friends and people that knew about it that just sent me a card, and I'm like, wow, you see that card in your mail, and it just makes a lot of difference.
[00:31:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:59] Speaker A: And I don't think to send cards. I'm not a card sender at all. But it totally helps. It's just funny, just that little sentiment that you actually took the time to get a card to buy a stamp, which is outrageous, and take the time to do it makes such a difference. It's impacted me so much every time I get. And I've gotten them from people that I never in a million years would have thought, you know, they're not in my inner circle.
[00:32:24] Speaker B: They still take the cards back.
[00:32:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, I think so. It really has made me think about that and how many people I know that have passed away that I could have been, you know, power of a handwritten note makes a big difference.
We need to bring that back. Let's make a campaign. We're bringing it back.
[00:32:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:32:41] Speaker A: It's so crazy.
[00:32:42] Speaker B: Ask on. She said, how many handwritten notes did everyone write this week?
[00:32:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:32:47] Speaker B: We challenge you.
[00:32:48] Speaker A: Yeah, Exactly. I'm amazed that there are still women out there that really do understand that power and the power of so good at it.
[00:32:58] Speaker B: Gosh, she. She was great at handwriting notes.
[00:33:00] Speaker A: Yeah. And beautiful handwriting, I'm sure, because my mom's handwriting was just gorgeous.
[00:33:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:33:05] Speaker A: That's kind of gone by the wayside, too.
[00:33:06] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:33:07] Speaker A: Okay, so I want to hear one of your most embarrassing moments. We'll get it. We'll go light it now. We've kind of gotten heavy, so let's go light.
[00:33:13] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:33:13] Speaker A: But an embarrassing story.
[00:33:14] Speaker B: Oh, you'll have to probably.
[00:33:17] Speaker A: I got a million of them, so you can. You want me to go first?
[00:33:21] Speaker B: You're gonna have to, because I'm have to really think about.
[00:33:23] Speaker A: Really? You don't get embarrassed? I got a million of them. I'm always embarrassed or something I've done or said or nothing.
[00:33:31] Speaker B: Really having to think on that.
[00:33:32] Speaker A: Funny.
Let's see. I'll do one. That's probably.
[00:33:36] Speaker B: Dang it.
[00:33:37] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:33:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Tell me yours, because I got a.
[00:33:39] Speaker A: Million, but this one's sort of silly. But it's.
I was mortified. I was at the Kentucky Derby, and we always took people to One of the suites at the derby every year. And then the night before the derby, there's always a big. There's two big celebrity attended parties in. In. In Louisville that everybody. All the celebrities in town go to. And it's a high ticket dollar. So we'd always get tickets and take the customers there. And so I always had two limos that would go. I'd always get everybody loaded in the limos. And we're talking like presidents of big top networks. TV guy, you know, TV networks. So you're hurting cats, basically. So I got them all in their limos and I would get in the back limo and I'm always the last one in the limo, so I'm by the door. And as you go to this party, it's gotten so famous over the time. And it's at a big, big house in some gigantic neighborhood in Louisville. And so you drive down this long winding road and all the locals come out to it because they know they're going to see celebrities. And so they've got the barricades along the street and so that only the limos can go up to drop people off. And then the crowd, crowd, like thousands of people are lined up along the path waiting to see somebody famous. Then when you get up to where the party is, they have an announcer that's announcing the famous people when they get out of the limo. And there's a crowd on each side and everybody screams and yells. So we're riding up there. We're nobody. We're just, you know, going to the party. So we're not going to be announced when we get up there. But we're driving up this windy path and the guy sitting next to me would just reach over and tap the window. So the window would come down and just show the top of my head. And then he'd tap it back up and the crowd would go crazy because they thought, I'm so famous. We did that all the way up. I'm not really thinking about it. We were just laughing because the crowd's going nuts. So we get all. I mean, we're talking. It's a long slow because the limos are lined up and so you're going really slow. And he'd just tap it and then the crowd would go. And then he'd roll it back, he'd take it back up. And so that happened. So it was like the wave at a stadium. It just crescendoed as it got closer because now somebody, they're all worked up thinking this car hits somebody big because they could hear the crowd screaming, oh, my gosh. So we get up to where you drop off. It's time they come, and they open the door for you. And I step out. Now the crowd thinks it's laugh at somebody big because they've heard the cheers for this limo coming up. I step out, and it's me, and no one knows me, and I'm not famous. And the crowd starts booing.
[00:36:12] Speaker B: Shut your mouth.
[00:36:13] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:36:15] Speaker B: I would cry.
[00:36:17] Speaker A: And I turned around, I look back at. At the car to my people, and they're literally on the floor laughing.
[00:36:24] Speaker B: I would die.
[00:36:25] Speaker A: They couldn't even get out of the car. They were laughing so hard. And I'm just looking at. And I am so hot and so embarrassed. And they're still booing. We're all just furious because they just sh. It was like, you know Janet Jackson, because she was there that year. And so anyway, I finally. We had gowns on because it was a black tie. I just hiked up my gown and I had the ticket, and I just marched through the gate.
[00:36:48] Speaker B: Oh, I think so.
[00:36:49] Speaker A: And went straight into the party. And they're calling me, going, we can't get in. I'm like, well, it's too bad.
And nobody knows me, obviously. No one even remembers it but me, because I was. But I have never been so embarrassed in my life. I would die, thousands of people booing me.
[00:37:06] Speaker B: And that guy knew what he was doing.
[00:37:08] Speaker A: Oh, sure.
I was just going. You could hear it just get louder and louder. Because then they just knew it was somebody bigger.
[00:37:14] Speaker B: I couldn't handle it.
[00:37:15] Speaker A: And it was Lisa Harden from Pulse. Oklahoma. Oh, my gosh. I was mortified that I've died.
[00:37:22] Speaker B: Speaking of your event stuff, Stephen reminded me that you actually got him tickets. And my brother went with the Patriots game.
[00:37:29] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:30] Speaker B: Tom Brady play. I was like, I forgot all about that.
[00:37:33] Speaker A: I had access to lots of things.
[00:37:36] Speaker B: Yeah. I was very jealous when he heard that. How you weren't even born yet.
[00:37:41] Speaker A: I did forget to you when you sprout it up. I was like, I did get you tickets. I got tickets. Think it's for a lot of people. My brother, he was a huge fan, wasn't he, Stephen?
[00:37:49] Speaker B: Yes, But Ty is a much bigger.
[00:37:52] Speaker A: Oh, really? How funny.
[00:37:54] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:37:54] Speaker A: That was a fun job for that. I had a lot of perks, but I had a lot of stress, too. But it was. The perks were fun stress. Yeah.
[00:38:01] Speaker B: So I don't know. I'll have to get back with you on an embarrassing moment. I can't think of anything appropriate at the moment.
[00:38:08] Speaker A: Yeah, I've got a lot of inappropriate, inappropriate ones too, but that one was, you know, safe. But it was. Yeah, it's the one when someone says, what's your most embarrassing thing? That one always pops in my head first because the amount of heat that flew to my face and.
[00:38:23] Speaker B: Yeah, to get booed. Yeah, that's a nightmare.
[00:38:27] Speaker A: Okay, well, I think we're out of time for the day, so another fun one in the books.
[00:38:32] Speaker B: We already have a lot of stuff to talk about next week.
[00:38:35] Speaker A: I know, we're excited.
[00:38:37] Speaker B: Yeah. If there's anything you want us to talk about.
[00:38:39] Speaker A: Yeah, we'd love to share our knowledge because. Because we think we have a lot of it about a lot of topics.
[00:38:45] Speaker B: We think we're a lot smarter than we really are. Guys.
[00:38:48] Speaker A: See you next week.
[00:38:49] Speaker B: Bye.
