Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Welcome back to the she Said podcast with Amy and Lisa. We're on episode 44 or 43B.
[00:00:10] Speaker B: Get some technical difficulties we recorded last
[00:00:13] Speaker A: week and it didn't.
It didn't work.
I know it didn't work. So there was some sort of error in the file. So we're redoing 43.
[00:00:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:00:25] Speaker A: This week.
[00:00:26] Speaker B: It's all good. Yeah, let's go again. I know we maybe be. I think last week I felt like neither one of us were in that great of a mood either.
[00:00:34] Speaker A: It was a very emotional breakdown.
[00:00:38] Speaker B: No, there wasn't even a breakdown.
[00:00:39] Speaker A: We were just not feeling it much enthusiasm. I was sick and yeah, it was just one of those. There was. There wasn't a lot of hoopla.
[00:00:48] Speaker B: I don't even know if the weather was blah or what, but I don't know.
[00:00:51] Speaker A: But we were blah for sure.
[00:00:52] Speaker B: Yeah. What is new? Well, and I even had a bag of tricks last week like I brought in, I brought in my Amazon purchases.
We should have had a video, darn it. But I have at least since tried my stuff.
[00:01:07] Speaker A: Oh, good. So you have an update.
[00:01:08] Speaker B: Yeah, so I tried my. You may go ahead and kick into it.
So I got this thing called an African sponge and that what is called an African bath sponge. You can find them on Amazon or whatever. Now there are some that are kind of knock off e I guess.
Uh, but it's actually like this nylon knotted.
It's like a fishing net basically.
And it's long so you can easily take it and do your back at the same time. And I will definitely say that my skin is softer for it.
And I've also started putting retin a on my knees and on my elbows and I've started doing like the sandwich method where you put your lotion and. And then your retin a and I just spread it. I just do a little pea size amount and I spread it as far as my lotion allowed me to spread it. And then I add a lotion again. I use that moisturizer by the ordinary and I can absolutely say because I have not been doing my castor oil in a long time on my knees like I should have probably because I wear sweats all the time right now and I don't like winter. Winter. Yeah, I just don't like that feeling during the winter. In the summer, I don't care. I can be greased up but, uh, I can absolutely tell that it's helping just kind of smooth out that stuff on my knees that I wasn't like.
[00:02:32] Speaker A: Oh, I mean I'm reading everywhere that everybody should be on Retin a.
[00:02:37] Speaker B: Absolutely. Me too. And I'm like, why have I not been doing this? But it was funny. Cause I'm trying. And I do recommend doing that sandwich method moisturizer, then your Retin A and then moisturizer again. Cause it will kind of help the flaking not happen quite as bad. But like, even today, I thought I was all flaked out, but I went and I rubbed my face and I was like, oh, well, don't get too close.
But it's a phase. It's okay. I'd rather that than it's. You know. I got some things to get rid of.
[00:03:08] Speaker A: When I first started using Obagi, when it was. Oh, yeah, not Zeo. They had that. That you used. Boy, it'll light you on fire.
[00:03:17] Speaker B: But that Obagi skin is some good stuff.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: Yeah, I told.
[00:03:20] Speaker B: You can recognize it. Yeah.
[00:03:22] Speaker A: I told you the story about recognizing it in a. In a restaurant and saying, that girl is.
[00:03:26] Speaker B: You can totally see it once you've done Obagi. Which I've done it years ago.
[00:03:30] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:03:31] Speaker B: Yeah. Because I said my husband. I did it right when I got married. And my husband was like, don't you ever do that again. He was like, I had to introduce you as my new wife. And your face looked like it had just been like drug behind a car. And it did. I did the aggressive method and it was really bad. But I'm going to tell you, I now know several people doing the Obagi eyelash serum and brow serum.
Holy moly. It is impressive. Matter of fact, my friend who is 56, her eyebrows look like Brook Shields.
[00:04:00] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:04:01] Speaker B: And she had little strips now.
[00:04:02] Speaker A: She. Obagi or Zio?
[00:04:04] Speaker B: No, she's doing the. The Obagi. I think it's the Obagi eyelash serum. Okay, let me make sure it is the Obagi. So go ahead while you're talking about
[00:04:15] Speaker A: that, because Zio is the doctor who's. He sold the Obagi part of it.
[00:04:21] Speaker B: No, it's the Obagi eyelash serum.
[00:04:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:04:24] Speaker B: They have a serum and a brow serum. And she is specifically using the brow. And she hasn't been on it very long. And we were on FaceTime two nights ago and it was in the dark, but I could kind of see her face. And I was like, wait, wait a minute. I was like, let me see those brows. They literally look like workshields. I. I've never. They've been little strips before.
[00:04:44] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:04:45] Speaker B: It is from that.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: I'm gonna try that. Because I didn't get all my brows back from trying.
[00:04:50] Speaker B: It's crazy. It's like 125, I think, for a tube of it and cheap, but it's so worth it.
[00:04:56] Speaker A: But if it works. Yeah. The eyelashes. She use them on her eyelashes.
[00:04:59] Speaker B: She's not doing the lash. And I've been using the babe lash. And I mean, mine have definitely grown with the babe lash, but the next thing I'm going to do is I'm doing the obagi for my lashes.
[00:05:11] Speaker A: I'm so. That stuff really sets me on fire.
[00:05:14] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:05:16] Speaker A: Weird allergy to it.
[00:05:17] Speaker B: But I haven't done my tent yet. I still have a lot to do.
[00:05:20] Speaker A: You do have a lot to do. You've got a lot of homework that you are not getting done.
[00:05:24] Speaker B: I know it's bad.
[00:05:26] Speaker A: So I.
We talked about last week being sick. I ended up with COVID which I've never had Covid ever. Annoyingly so. So irritated by it all. I'm like, on day 16 of Just Junk. I'm over it. But I wear an aura ring, and I'm so fascinated with this aura ring because I've read stories that Oura ring has saved people's lives as far as, like, talking about heart attack, predicting a heart attack based on their biometrics, and because it tracks all of that stuff. And so literally, for the past I'd say nine days, ten days, every morning, I would wake up and look at my OURA ring, and it would always say, your Oura ring, Your biometrics is showing major sign of something going on with your body. Your heart rate's elevated. Your body temperature is elevated. Like, it looks at all those biometrics and tells you there's something going on. Which, of course, I knew there was. I was sick. But it's so crazy how it tracks all that and then notifies you the next morning. Like, hey, you need to take a look at this, or, you need to get some more rest. Something's going on.
Like, your resting heart rates elevated. Like, it. And it graphs it for you. So it was just interesting to see the graph as each day it got worse and worse. At one point, my body temperature was up, like, 33.2. And then. And then the next day, it was down to, like, 1.2. So it started dropping. But you can see the graph where it goes up to a peak and then starts coming back down. Wow. So, I mean, I will never not wear an aura ring. And people talk about, you know, wearing that kind of stuff, but you just turn the Bluetooth off on it. It still tracks your data. And then connect it, put it on the charger, it reconnects it and downloads your data to your app.
[00:07:09] Speaker B: Oh, that's a good idea.
[00:07:10] Speaker A: You don't have to keep your Bluetooth if you're someone that's trying to not do that, which I try.
[00:07:15] Speaker B: I like to do that.
[00:07:16] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay, so I don't have my Bluetooth on until when I want to check the app and then I'll just, you know, all you do is put it on the charger and automatically turns it on and downloads it to the app and then you can turn it right back off. So.
[00:07:28] Speaker B: So that's a good idea.
[00:07:30] Speaker A: But I love it so much. It's. It's saved me on so many things and my sleep, I mean, it's kept my sleep on track because you wake up in the morning and it tells you. Yeah, four hours of sleep and not very good quality sleep. Then you can. You start really paying attention to it.
[00:07:47] Speaker B: So I did start the cortisol. Cortisol control officially. So. And I don't think it tastes bad. I. I mean, it tastes just like everything else to me that they have in that line, which is just kind of a tangy tart. Now my friend Tiffany, she started taking it. She doesn't love the taste of it, but she's a.
[00:08:03] Speaker A: You also take.
[00:08:04] Speaker B: She's a picky girl when you take
[00:08:06] Speaker A: black seed oil, which is like, I know, right?
[00:08:08] Speaker B: She doesn't like it. Yeah, she was like, it's all terrible to me, but I can take all of it.
But she's taking it too. She thinks she's kind of had some vivid dreams. She asked me if I'd had dreams on it. I have not noticed that yet, but I don't. I've only been on it for a few days and then had an interruption when I went out of town. So I can't say I've been real, but she said she's had really vivid dreams.
[00:08:32] Speaker A: There is some like that Ash Goanda, Ashton. That's for like stress.
[00:08:38] Speaker B: That's in there, right?
[00:08:39] Speaker A: Bad dreams. Not bad dreams, but weird dreams. Yeah, for me. So it might be the same thing.
[00:08:44] Speaker B: I wonder if that's what it is.
[00:08:46] Speaker A: Yeah, because that's supposed to help cortisol stuff and keep your calm. Well, that's probably what it is.
[00:08:51] Speaker B: I'm excited to see what happens with them. To see what happens. So.
[00:08:55] Speaker A: Well, I, you know, I'm all about BPC and my peptides, which I keep hearing now that you can take BPC forever, you don't ever have to take a break. I mean it can be a lifetime.
[00:09:05] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:09:05] Speaker A: Because it does so much good and GHK is the same way. And that GHK is like a game changer, I think for so many. But when I was so sick and so stopped up and couldn't breathe, I would do an injection of BPC and. And it would open up my nose within five minutes because of the inflammation. It's an anti inflammatory, so it really did help me feel better during the night.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: Interesting.
[00:09:28] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean it's so good for so many things.
I'll take it forever. And then of course like Motsi and stuff. And then I, you know, retta true tried. It's hard for me to say. Yeah, is the newest GLP one that's not out yet, but it's getting close.
[00:09:43] Speaker B: Right.
[00:09:45] Speaker A: There is a study, a case study from 2024 where they did a study on it and it has lit. It literally killed cancer cells in this case study. So it's, it's what they're finding out so much with these GLP1s is. It's so much bigger than.
[00:10:01] Speaker B: I wonder when they're gonna keep us from getting them.
[00:10:04] Speaker A: Well, I know. Well, I'm sure, I mean I'm sure they're trying because yeah, they're. It's too helpful. But that one's in the final clinical trials. But that, that trial in 2024, it showed cancer cells dying off bay from it.
[00:10:21] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:10:22] Speaker A: So, you know, I'm going to be taking it.
[00:10:23] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:24] Speaker A: I mean, seriously, for no other reason than that I kill cancer cells all day long. Whatever it takes. Yeah. Yeah. So that's interesting. I mean I just think these peptides are fascinating. I'm obsessed with them and what all they can do.
[00:10:39] Speaker B: Yeah. I just downloaded this peptide book yesterday actually that I can't wait to dig into.
[00:10:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:46] Speaker B: It is really. It is a very interesting world and it's not as complicated as people want to make it. It just that, you know, you find reliable, reputable people to follow and learn from them. And a lot of the lives are very good to watch because of the answer, question and answers that they do.
[00:11:02] Speaker A: But anyways, I was over at Kinetic Clinic today, my client recording her and we were talking about the GHK and what it's done for her and her hair growth and it's kind of crazy, but I mean she's, she said it multiple times and she said it again today. Peptides are the future of medicine and it is where it's going.
[00:11:23] Speaker B: Oh I believe it too.
[00:11:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:24] Speaker B: I think a lot of things have changed. I had pulled out of my bag of tricks. I was sitting here trying to remind myself that day, uh, I got that copper tongue scraper.
Uh, I like that thing because I'm gonna tell you that I tried it. And then that next morning I woke up and you know, you have. Everyone has that morning breath or whatever, man. I didn't have, I didn't feel that feeling that gunk. Yeah. So it definitely does something.
And I don't even know how much the copper makes a difference, but it was pretty neat.
[00:11:58] Speaker A: Just scrap.
[00:12:00] Speaker B: Yeah. And they're cheap and you can even buy like a family four pack of them, so.
And then there was that cerave.
Was it a survey night repair cream that I'd really heard about. And that's what I'm layering on top of the retin a sometimes.
[00:12:17] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:12:17] Speaker B: If I didn't have. Because I keep that by my bed. If I don't have that other one by the original with me, I layer that one on top of, you know. And I've decided just to use face creams. Like just use the face creams on my body.
[00:12:28] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, Yeah.
[00:12:30] Speaker B: I mean, so why not?
[00:12:32] Speaker A: Yeah, might as well, they're thicker. Anyway.
[00:12:34] Speaker B: Typically all of me needs help at this point.
[00:12:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:12:37] Speaker B: I am not playing games, so.
[00:12:40] Speaker A: Well, I had talked about a detox we, we've talked about on here before about using peroxide as soaking your feet in peroxide. And it's supposed to really help detox all the stuff out of your feet.
But I saw one and I tried it before I got sick. I probably need to do it again now. But it's as hot water as you can stand for your feet. So you want to put, you're going to put your feet in it. So you want it as hot as you can stand.
Epsom salt, peroxide, hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, baking soda, and then whatever essential oil that you like, peppermint or whatever you like, lavender. And you soak your feet for 20 minutes in there and then elevate your feet afterwards for your lymph, the drainage lymph system to get out. And it's supposed to really help with.
[00:13:31] Speaker B: I saw that yesterday. Somebody had said to raise your legs in bed and just to kind of shake them up and down, you know, just kind of rattle your legs when you're in bed before you get up to help get all that kind of fluid moving.
Uh huh.
[00:13:45] Speaker A: Boy, I tell you. I mean, we've talked about that going to that girl In Beverly Hills. And getting that lymphatic massage really proved to me the lymph system and how it can get sluggish. And then that means you're carrying extra fluid, especially for me, with having lymph nodes dissected with my surgery so they could send them off for testing. All that lymph fluid that came out of those 20 lymph nodes they took out of my hip, my abdominal area. That lymph fluid's got to go somewhere.
[00:14:16] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:17] Speaker A: Because it doesn't disappear, which means it's going to settle in your lower extremities, which means swollen legs. And so keeping all that fluid moving is key for how you feel, too. I think it helps with your immune system because it just keeps all that stuff from getting all sluggish and stale and not moving.
[00:14:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:37] Speaker A: So, boy, I mean, those. Those shake plates are of that very thing. That help with that. I mean, I got one from my dad, and I've been trying to get him back on it because he obviously had two rounds of cancer surgery where they dissected in his abdomen, his lymph nodes. And so, I mean, he's got lymphedema just like I do. I told you the story. I think one time. I pass my oncologist all the time. He lives in my neighborhood, and someday I'm going to pull over and have a little chat with him now that I'm way past having to see him. But one day I said, well, do you think I could still get lymphedema? Because, you know, the dissection. Sometimes you see lymphedema where one person's legs twice the size of the other. I mean, there's a lot of some severe lymphedema out there. I don't have it like that. I said, do you think I could still get it? And this was a couple years after I finished chemo. He goes, you mean more than you already have it?
I was like, oh, I didn't know I had it. And he goes, well, your legs are swollen.
[00:15:34] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:15:34] Speaker A: Okay. So, yeah, I mean.
Okay, not awkward. Sorry I asked.
Move along now. Yeah. Bye.
Have a nice day.
Yeah. So I guess I have lymphedema, which I. I think it's pretty common.
[00:15:51] Speaker B: That's his way of getting you to
[00:15:53] Speaker A: not ask him a question while. While not in the office.
That's hilarious. No, I was in the office. I was seeing him. Yeah. Now I want to have a conversation with him. He's on the street when he's on the street. Yeah. Since I. I'm not seeing him anymore. Since I'm past all that. But that's funny. Yeah. So apparently that's a thing. But I'm so fascinated with the lymph system because of that. And it is. Seeing the results I had that day with that massage.
Shows you what? Getting all that fluid moving.
What?
[00:16:24] Speaker B: I still want to get one of those done.
[00:16:26] Speaker A: I wish someone here did it.
[00:16:27] Speaker B: I know if there's somebody out there who.
[00:16:29] Speaker A: Really.
[00:16:30] Speaker B: Because I do have a friend who hadn't had one done recently, just in the past couple weeks. And she wasn't just blown away with it. I don't know who she went to or anything like that. So if there's somebody out there who thinks they really have skill, call me.
[00:16:43] Speaker A: Yeah, give us.
[00:16:44] Speaker B: And then I'll brag about you.
[00:16:46] Speaker A: Or if you know the Brazilian method, because that's what that girl did. And that stuff, man.
[00:16:51] Speaker B: Like, I want to see. See results.
[00:16:53] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah. I want to see my rib cage afterwards.
[00:16:57] Speaker B: Yes, exactly. Please. So, anyway. Okay. Did y' all see that IKEA is coming to Tulsa?
[00:17:05] Speaker A: I did, and I'm pretty. Pretty excited about that. Yeah.
[00:17:08] Speaker B: I didn't see where they're putting it, did you?
[00:17:10] Speaker A: The Hills Shopping Center.
[00:17:12] Speaker B: Should have known. Yeah.
[00:17:13] Speaker A: Yeah. And I'm not sure where out there, but at the Hills.
[00:17:15] Speaker B: I know my son went to go check out the new. The new bike. The mountain bike course that they have over there right across from Tulsa Hills. It said it's just out of this world. It really is unbelievable. And you don't really notice it if you're driving by or even realize it's over there.
But it's, you know, just west of the very end of the bridge there.
[00:17:37] Speaker A: Okay. By Turkey Mountain, right?
[00:17:39] Speaker B: By Turkey. Yeah. You'll see it right from 71st. So if you just look over, you'll kind of see these new boulders that they've moved up. You just turn back up in there and go up there.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: Boy, that area is really growing.
Yeah.
[00:17:50] Speaker B: Yeah. And I remember you saying something about home goods.
[00:17:53] Speaker A: Another one coming in. Broken Arrow out there at the hillside. Yeah. Hillside Drive, I guess maybe by. There's a Lowe's out there.
[00:18:04] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:05] Speaker A: Next to Lowe's. I think they've already broken ground.
[00:18:07] Speaker B: Wow. Okay.
[00:18:08] Speaker A: And they just opened up a Trader Joe's out there, and then this is coming in, too. So I. That's pretty exciting. It's not so far out. No, I go that way all the time to my dad's house. So I'm pretty excited about that because I Do love a home goods shopping day.
[00:18:25] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. And that one gets pretty crowded.
[00:18:28] Speaker A: I was out there last week, week before last. Oh my lands. It's too much.
[00:18:34] Speaker B: It is.
[00:18:35] Speaker A: And it's so packed.
[00:18:36] Speaker B: I rarely go out there.
[00:18:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't either.
[00:18:39] Speaker B: That's why I want to do a Costco membership. But honestly, it's just so far out there. And I guess there is the one out by Owasso, but it's further when
[00:18:46] Speaker A: you map it from our houses Midtown.
[00:18:49] Speaker B: I'm like, there's a lot that needs to come to Midtown. If there was.
[00:18:52] Speaker A: I know what's up?
[00:18:53] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:18:53] Speaker A: They have places.
[00:18:54] Speaker B: There are places for sure at 51st and Harvard.
[00:18:57] Speaker A: There's plenty of space there.
[00:18:58] Speaker B: First place that comes to my mind is that area. Yeah.
[00:19:00] Speaker A: Why don't we have a home goods there?
[00:19:02] Speaker B: Or I don't know. Yeah, I can't figure it out.
[00:19:06] Speaker A: Got 75 Sam's around here.
We could do a few more Costco's. I'd like to have a membership too, but I'm not driving out there. No, I'll never go. No, I totally annoying because everybody talks about all the stuff, great stuff they get at Costco and.
But I'm not going to drive to 100. Is 101st.
[00:19:23] Speaker B: Something like that? Something crazy. Further than that, I think.
[00:19:26] Speaker A: Not for me anyways.
So I have to tell you a funny story.
[00:19:31] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:31] Speaker A: So I have been trying to update my Zillow account of my home because I get probably 10 letters a week from people trying to buy my house.
[00:19:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:45] Speaker A: And everyone says, you know, as is. No, you don't need to fix up anything. Pay cash, offer, blah, blah, blah. Well, my house is remodeled. I'm like, what are you talking about? As is, there's nothing wrong with it. So I wanted to post new pictures. Well, the only way you can do that, according to now apparently, is you got to put it for sale from by owner. So I did. And you. It takes up to 72 hours for Zillow to approve it. So you put it up for sale by owner, then you upload your new pictures and then supposedly contact you when it's updated. Right. Well, so they can put all this
[00:20:25] Speaker B: false market information basically on you not current because it isn't current. So they can kind of like market your house at.
[00:20:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:20:33] Speaker B: At anything they want even though it's false. And you don't have the right to update it unless you put your house for sale.
[00:20:38] Speaker A: Well, you can update the data like all the three bedroom, two bath, blah Blah, blah. But you can't update pictures unless you have an MLS account. Well, I'm not a real estate agent. I don't have an mls, so I couldn't. I could have gone that route, but I don't have an mls. So the only other option, based on what I read online, was to turn it on as for sale by owner, update it, and then when it gets updated, you turn it, you take it off market.
So I did that, and it says up to 72 hours. So I'm checking it at 24 hours, at 48 hours. Well, when 72 hours rolls around, I'm at urgent care because I'm sick and it goes live. And I get a notification that says there's a house for sale and list my address. And about that same second, my phone starts blowing up because every real estate agent got the notification, oh, yeah, that it's on the market. And I put it for way over the Zestimate or the. Whatever that Zillow estimate is. I put the price way above that because it's not really for sale. And even at the sale price I had it at, which was way over what it was estimated, my phone went berserk. And I'm trying to get to my office because you have to do it from a PC and get it turned, take it off market. Oh, shoot. By the time I drove from 21st in Utica to my office at 41st in Harvard, I had 28 phone calls and text messages from people wanting to talk. Real estate agents wanting to talk about my house. They have a client that wants my house, and even one lady. I switched it. I could switch it from my phone to pending. I couldn't switch it. I couldn't take it off market from my phone. I could only switch it to pending. So I got it to pending at least. And one girl even called back and said, oh, wow, you're already in pending. She goes, would you be willing to take more offers? And then what the offer you got? Well, I was already way over the value of the house anyway. I'm like, what did you do? I finally got back to the office and took it off market. And then once you take it off market, your phone number goes away and it goes right back to where it was the way it was, except the pictures are updated. It was so stressful. I was like, yeah, holy moly.
[00:22:55] Speaker B: So moral of the story is filter. We handle that stress for you.
[00:23:01] Speaker A: Well, and I'm trying to explain it to my dad. He goes, you put your house up for sale? I'm like, okay. Yes. But it was only for a second to just update. Yeah, it was. That was crazy the attention it got. So I guess the good news is if I ever decide to sell it, it could sell pretty quick. I mean, people were even wanting to know if they could give me more offers than the offer I got when I put it for pending. And the offer, the house was already way over what it should be priced at anyway.
[00:23:28] Speaker B: Yeah.
So interesting.
[00:23:31] Speaker A: Yeah. Anyway, it was stressful. I'm like, okay, won't do that again. Learn my lesson.
[00:23:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Don't play.
[00:23:38] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, I wanted it updated. They make it so complicated.
[00:23:41] Speaker B: You got your pictures in it.
[00:23:42] Speaker A: I got my updated pictures. Now it doesn't look like the house I bought, which was not pretty.
[00:23:46] Speaker B: So it's fun to compare though.
[00:23:48] Speaker A: Oh my gosh. The difference is like shocking.
[00:23:51] Speaker B: I like comparing mine.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: It's fun.
Big time difference. And so I keep thinking maybe people will stop bugging me. I mean, I get 10 to 10 to 15 a week. Yeah. It's people wanting to buy it and they'll even see me pictures at my house. I'm like, I know what my house looks like.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:05] Speaker A: I live in it. Leave me alone. It's crazy.
[00:24:08] Speaker B: Yeah, is. And then you got to wonder how many of them are not scams.
[00:24:12] Speaker A: Oh, I'm sure some. I'm sure most of them are.
[00:24:14] Speaker B: How many people have sold out to that and then end up.
[00:24:17] Speaker A: I bet because half of them aren't even here.
[00:24:19] Speaker B: It happened to a family member of mine and then their house was literally tied up for over a year from basically a scammer. Who it was honestly the most insane. Over a million dollar home.
They almost lost their entire.
The deed had already been filed. The man somehow went and filed the deed at the courthouse before the house had even closed. Like it was the most bizarre, crazy situation I've ever heard. It wouldn't hear is in another state.
[00:24:48] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:24:49] Speaker B: It was awful. Attorneys. It cost them in the five digits to get it remedied.
[00:24:55] Speaker A: So scary. Well, half of them that I get aren't from here anyway. They're from out of state.
The offers.
[00:25:01] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:01] Speaker A: So I'm sure most of it's scams. It was stressful. There was a few moments I'm like, of course it's when I'm not. When I'm out of pocket and can't get. Every other day I've been sitting here watching it to make sure. And then the one day I'm not is when it goes live.
Boy, those real estate agents were on Top of it, they were calling like crazy. Yeah. So here's something else I'm getting ready to start that I'm excited about.
[00:25:27] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:27] Speaker A: I'm going to start teaching a course on AI for business owners. I put it all together and I'm getting ready to launch it. Because so many people.
[00:25:38] Speaker B: And I'm your first.
[00:25:40] Speaker A: Well, they don't.
I think some people are overwhelmed by it. They're not quite sure what to do with it. Some people are using it badly and it's terrible for their marketing and their brand and then others want to try it, but they don't know where to start. And so I just thought, you know what?
I started out my social media division of this company teaching social media marketing for business owners that just didn't know how to do what to do with it. And it brought me all these years later managing a ton of people and their company. And so I thought I'm seeing the same thing happen now with AI and everybody just immediately goes to ChatGPT and then they don't understand it. They don't know what prompts to find,
[00:26:23] Speaker B: they don't understand prompts and then they
[00:26:25] Speaker A: take what they're given and they just cut and paste and they don't make it their own.
[00:26:28] Speaker B: No.
[00:26:29] Speaker A: And the people that are out there saying that, you know, social media is now being run more efficiently by AI, that'll never happen because social media is personal to your business and to your customers and AI will never have that personal taking care of customers and making sure that what they say is true. And comments. And so I worry about that advertisement that's going on out there that people. I added this. I used AI for my social media and it posts for me every day and my customer base quadrupled. Well, it depends on what. If you're influencer, maybe. But if you're a business, a true business.
[00:27:09] Speaker B: Right.
[00:27:09] Speaker A: And marketing a business or a service, that's not the case. And so anyway, I'm gonna.
I'm pretty excited about launching it. Awesome. And I'll do in person just like I did social media. You can come here or I'll do it for those out of state.
Zoom for people, which I hate, Zoom. But I'll do it because I feel like so many people really are overwhelmed by it and it's not going anywhere, it's going to be here to stay. So figuring it out is going to really help people.
[00:27:39] Speaker B: I think it's a good idea.
[00:27:41] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:42] Speaker B: But it is flower planting season time already. The last thing. Yes. Isn't it early so it is winter sewing. What does that mean? So S O W I n g so a lot of seeds need cold stratification. Like, I really kind of had to teach myself this because I, you know, my first thing that I've ever really done by seeds were the zinnias. And I had wild success with them, as you know. So I'm ready to kind of grow this thing. So some seeds need this cold. Like, this is the time to do it, because they have to go. Go through the drops of the weather, the cold, the. Like, just let winter do its thing.
And so basically, I would say just Google in your zone what seeds can be winter sown now, and it'll tell you. Like, you literally just drop them in the dirt, maybe scratch over it a little. Some of you don't even need to scratch dirt over.
Spray it with a spray bottle for the first time. And then let winter. The rest of winter do its thing. If it freezes them, it freezes them, thaws out, and then you will have your blooms come, you know, May, April, May, June.
[00:28:49] Speaker A: Like tulips.
[00:28:51] Speaker B: Oh, like, there's all. I mean, there's a whole.
There's a bunch. I mean, there's like, you can start putting in pansy seeds now. You can.
I mean, there's just so much more plants you can get when you put in seeds.
It's pretty interesting.
So I'm excited.
[00:29:08] Speaker A: So you've already planted?
[00:29:10] Speaker B: Just started. I started buying a whole bunch of seeds. Like, I kind of went crazy. I don't even know where I'm gonna put them all. Well, when I started with my zinnias, I mean, I originally had even got some of the Dollar store and had good luck, so. But at this time, I got some at Walmart and at Lowe's, and then I'll go back through Facebook Marketplace again, because I did get a whole bunch of great zinnia seeds from a marketplace guy who sells seeds. He has, like, a home garden that he sells, and I can see there's a lot of people starting to sell their seeds online, so.
But I just got a whole bunch of varieties through there, you know, like foxglove and things I've never even tried to grow before, but little ground covers and really neat stuff, so you can really bulk up your garden or your pots. So. And a lot of them are perennials.
[00:29:59] Speaker A: They'll come back, Come to my house and plant some seeds.
[00:30:02] Speaker B: I will.
[00:30:03] Speaker A: I need some.
[00:30:04] Speaker B: Oh, I'll give you some zinnias.
[00:30:06] Speaker A: Well, you did. Did.
[00:30:07] Speaker B: Oh, did you not. Did you plant the ground done yet?
[00:30:10] Speaker A: I didn't know when I was supposed to.
[00:30:12] Speaker B: Well, not yet.
Wait a little bit longer. I'll talk about when it's time.
Come back, but.
[00:30:18] Speaker A: Right.
[00:30:19] Speaker B: You definitely will pick the seeds from those when you're done. So they can. You can have them again year after year. But every time you cut. And I'm also kind of trying to focus on a cut and grow garden. A lot of stuff that I can cut. And have them keep flourishing like the xenias did.
[00:30:33] Speaker A: Oh, I want to make them. And they still grow.
[00:30:35] Speaker B: Yes. Like rainiculas. Oh. I mean, I think that's how you say it.
[00:30:39] Speaker A: Yeah. I do love those flowers.
[00:30:41] Speaker B: Oh, they're so pretty.
[00:30:41] Speaker A: They are pretty. There's just.
[00:30:42] Speaker B: I don't know. There's a lot you can do. And those. I think you can actually start now in trays.
[00:30:49] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:30:49] Speaker B: Like, pretty easy stuff.
[00:30:51] Speaker A: If you like it, you're gonna like it.
Yeah. Is it February is when you plant tulip bulbs, I think. Yeah.
[00:30:59] Speaker B: I've never done tulips.
[00:31:00] Speaker A: Yeah. I feel like it's February. I used to have a client that was a landscaping company. That I did their social media. And I pretty sure they planted.
[00:31:10] Speaker B: I would like. I need to add a bunch of new dirt to our front, though. Like, we just need some new dirt really bad. So I'm gonna do that.
[00:31:17] Speaker A: Yeah. I noticed my neighbor had. They were out doing her getting her flower beds already this week. It's like, yikes. It seems.
That's so crazy.
[00:31:27] Speaker B: I'm so ready.
[00:31:28] Speaker A: Well, you come on over and manage my flower beds for me. Because I do not know anything about that, so. All right, well, we're out a ton.
Okay.
[00:31:38] Speaker B: We're in a little better mood this week, so.
[00:31:40] Speaker A: A little bit brighter than last week. Last week was a little dark. All right, we'll see you next week.
[00:31:45] Speaker B: Bye.
