Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Foreign.
Welcome back to the she Said podcast with Amy And Lisa, episode 45. Welcome back.
Let's speak that way today in our raspy, airy voices.
[00:00:24] Speaker B: I know she's still holding on to you.
[00:00:27] Speaker A: Yeah, four weeks. I'm about done.
[00:00:29] Speaker B: That's crazy.
[00:00:30] Speaker A: But everybody I've talked to said it holds on for forever, so I guess I'm stuck with it for a while.
I don't still. I'd catch anything, taste or smell that could come back any minute. I wouldn't be mad about it.
[00:00:41] Speaker B: You don't smell like anything burning down in your house or anything?
[00:00:44] Speaker A: No, that's right.
[00:00:45] Speaker B: I had rogue smells for ever, like, years.
It smelled like somebody was with a cigarette next to me smoking cigarettes or like there was just something burning.
I. I was.
Wake me up out of a dead sleep.
[00:00:59] Speaker A: No, I don't have any weird smells. I do just don't have any smell or I don't like things taste funny. I drank a protein shake the other day and I thought, oh, man, that's
[00:01:08] Speaker B: how I quit Diet Coke.
[00:01:10] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:01:10] Speaker B: And went to Dr. Pepper because you couldn't. But I can't do any more Coke products like Pepsi and I loved a Diet pepsi. Went to Dr. Pepper. And then I like, I would go to restaurants and they would be out of Dr. Pepper. And so I kind of started asking the question, are more People drinking Dr. Pepper than diet Coke and stuff? She's like, you know, actually, they are like, this was. I went to a restaurant the other day that was out of Dr. Pepper. I really think there was something about that loss of taste that altered people's taste. I did see something that Pepsi has Pepsi Zero. And there's been all these challenges, like,
[00:01:48] Speaker A: oh, yeah, I've seen those.
[00:01:49] Speaker B: And that it. Pepsi Zero is blowing Coke Zero out of the water and everything else. I've not tried it.
[00:01:56] Speaker A: No.
[00:01:56] Speaker B: I don't need a new, you know, vice. No. I doubt now.
[00:02:00] Speaker A: When I came through chemo, I was a. I was a Diet Coke person before chemo and cannot.
[00:02:06] Speaker B: No, can't hate it flat.
[00:02:08] Speaker A: It's awful. There's nothing good about it. No. And so I switched to Pepsi during or after chemo. And I do a Diet Pepsi, like a zero sugar Diet Pepsi in which I love.
I cannot like a Coke. Tastes like true dirt.
[00:02:24] Speaker B: Even regular Coke does.
[00:02:25] Speaker A: Oh, any of it.
[00:02:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. It's weird. It really changed my.
My taste on that. That's never ch. That's never come back.
[00:02:34] Speaker A: Oh, really?
[00:02:35] Speaker B: Not that. I mean, not the taste thing. How it altered the taste.
[00:02:38] Speaker A: Altered the taste of coke. Weird how it does that, but, yeah, I don't have a really great taste yet. Or smell, but I don't have weird smells or things do taste.
[00:02:48] Speaker B: Nobody's smoking cigarettes. My kids were like, I'm so sick if you accuse us of smoking cigarettes.
Sorry.
[00:02:53] Speaker A: Isn't that funny how your senses get all out of whack?
[00:02:57] Speaker B: Yeah. So I don't know if I mentioned it last week, though, but they said if you're really congested, sinuses, like what you've got going on, to hum for. If I remember, it was 30 seconds. To just hum for 30 seconds. And it's supposed to clear your sinuses. Have you tried it?
Well, I've got 30 seconds.
[00:03:19] Speaker A: You don't even need to hear it in a good day, let alone today. I know. I was singing.
What's that song that's so popular on Instagram now? Falling Love Again and again. You know that? Falling love again. Falling in love Again. It goes on again and again. Falling. I was singing that out loud, and Piper ran and got in her bed. Yeah.
[00:03:38] Speaker B: My dog does not like it if I sing to her.
[00:03:40] Speaker A: She was freaking out, like, you don't
[00:03:42] Speaker B: know what it is.
[00:03:43] Speaker A: What's the deal?
[00:03:44] Speaker B: Daisy will, like, turn the other direction, and she's not interested in me singing.
[00:03:51] Speaker A: It kind of hurt your feelings.
She's in there with her ears flat looking at me. It's like, yeah, it was that bad that it made you run in here and hide.
[00:04:01] Speaker B: Yes. So I don't know.
[00:04:03] Speaker A: I guess I'm looking at me like, I don't know what you're doing, but you need to stop.
[00:04:06] Speaker B: Was certain I sounded like Annie when I was a kid.
You could not shut me up. I knew I sounded like Annie. Oh, you knew the real Annie.
I thought my parents lied to me. They made me feel good.
[00:04:18] Speaker A: I'm sure they did. Anyway, well, I'll have to try the humming thing because, man, it just won't go away. It's just hanging on for dear life. And I've never had Covid before, and so obviously this is. This is something I've never had before, because I've never had something hang on like this for so long and just literally.
[00:04:36] Speaker B: Besides cancer.
[00:04:38] Speaker A: Besides cancer that lasted for way too long.
[00:04:40] Speaker B: Held on for a little bit.
[00:04:41] Speaker A: Yeah, that held on. Wouldn't go away. But I'm starting my ninth year.
There you go. Isn't that crazy?
[00:04:47] Speaker B: Keep on trucking.
[00:04:48] Speaker A: Ten's the next big one.
[00:04:50] Speaker B: I know. Speaking of years, too, I'm like, I just realized I'm about to be married for 25 years. That's a silver anniversary. I remember celebrating my parents silver anniversary.
And here I am about. I'm a silver anniversary. What?
[00:05:04] Speaker A: Isn't that crazy?
[00:05:05] Speaker B: I'm very crazy.
[00:05:06] Speaker A: I can't even date a guy for 25 days.
I don't even understand. 25 years.
[00:05:12] Speaker B: Yeah, like that's a long time. It's almost unheard of anymore.
[00:05:15] Speaker A: It is almost unheard of, this age group. But I mean, by 25 days, I'm ready to.
[00:05:21] Speaker B: We don't have any trips planned or any. I mean, like I. I didn't even know about a silver thing other than my parents. And I was much younger. It was on. Somebody was talking about. They just realized it and I was like, I didn't even think about that. But I don't even know where I'd want to go on a trip.
[00:05:34] Speaker A: Is it just what you're supposed to do at 25, go on a trip?
[00:05:37] Speaker B: I don't know what you're supposed to do, but I'm sure something special.
[00:05:41] Speaker A: Well, yeah, 25 is a big number.
[00:05:44] Speaker B: Yeah. But the problem is it. It always lands. Our anniversary falls. We're always three days in a row. Ty's birthday, Mother's Day, our anniversary. I can't leave my kids on Mother's Day. I can't leave Ty on his birthday. So everything's been lumped into a little package deal for you? No, it's all family. Just. It's family. So that's good.
[00:06:03] Speaker A: Well, yeah, that's true.
[00:06:05] Speaker B: I'm not sad about it.
[00:06:06] Speaker A: That's part of the whole thing. And then you'd probably be mad the whole time you're gone anyway, right? Why would you.
Why would that be fun?
[00:06:13] Speaker B: No, it doesn't even sound like fun.
[00:06:17] Speaker A: Especially in Mexico. Oh, gosh. There's no way.
[00:06:21] Speaker B: No.
[00:06:22] Speaker A: Some people were heading to Cabo today. I'm like, what are you doing?
[00:06:24] Speaker B: They're brain.
[00:06:25] Speaker A: Go anywhere over there?
Yeah, everything just seems. Stay put.
Yeesh. I don't know.
[00:06:31] Speaker B: Scary.
[00:06:33] Speaker A: You were talking a couple weeks ago about you used to just eat lemons. Just bite into the.
[00:06:39] Speaker B: Oh, I still can't lemon.
[00:06:41] Speaker A: There's a whole thing now with sour candy or sour things like that for anxiety that people are eating like sour gummies for their anxiety. And it's supposed to help that vagus nerve. It calms everything down.
[00:06:54] Speaker B: That makes me want to go get a lemon and salt.
[00:06:56] Speaker A: So right now that's why you doing it.
[00:06:59] Speaker B: It literally makes my jaw, makes my
[00:07:01] Speaker A: jaws lock up just thinking about It. Yeah.
[00:07:04] Speaker B: I love it with salt. Some people would put sugar and I'm like, ew.
[00:07:07] Speaker A: Maybe that's why you liked it. Maybe you were an anxious kid and
[00:07:10] Speaker B: it probably was an anxious kid.
I know at one point I was an anxious kid, so wouldn't surprise me. And I peel the inside out and chew it. I don't eat the outside, but I chew the inside and eat it so good.
[00:07:26] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:07:28] Speaker B: I know. But now you gotta find lemons that are real. Everything's fake. No seeds.
Which people don't think about that. But if it doesn't have a seed in isn't real. It's been. Yeah, it's gmo.
What Seeds. If you want the real deal.
[00:07:44] Speaker A: But lemons don't even have seeds now.
[00:07:47] Speaker B: No. You could know a lot of them don't. I. I have bought lemons that have no seeds in them. Like maybe one little sliver of a fakes. I don't know what. What it is. It is. When I was a kid, you had to spit them out. They were so big and fat.
[00:07:59] Speaker A: True.
[00:08:00] Speaker B: So no, the ones that I see are these little slivers of who knows what. They're not considered a seed by any means.
[00:08:06] Speaker A: A whole lemon in a while though. So.
[00:08:08] Speaker B: Yeah.
Go check it out.
[00:08:11] Speaker A: Well, I'm not eating one. I'll tell you that right now.
There's no way.
[00:08:15] Speaker B: So any other hacks?
[00:08:17] Speaker A: No. But you know what I've been doing is I've been like back in my early days of living over here by myself, and when I first moved over in my early 20s, I did like reupholstered all my furniture. I made all my pillows, my comforter, my curtains. I did everything. And then I got to where I was doing it for other people.
Where I worked. They all hired me to do comforters and pillows and drapes and stuff.
I'm like. I feel like I'm getting back to that now again, which is.
[00:08:50] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
[00:08:51] Speaker A: I've been doing a lot and I made. I bought some air dry clay and I've been making clay things.
[00:08:58] Speaker B: Oh, that's fun.
[00:08:59] Speaker A: Yeah. I've been having a really good time. I was painting them all yesterday and it's like, what's happened to me? All of a sudden I'm getting back
[00:09:05] Speaker B: to the hobbies are good.
[00:09:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Which I haven't done in a long time. But I've now my house is a disaster.
[00:09:12] Speaker B: Right. That happens.
[00:09:14] Speaker A: Clay, which is a mess.
This is air dry clay, which is. Doesn't have to be.
[00:09:19] Speaker B: I always wanted a potter's everyone's.
[00:09:21] Speaker A: As a little girl.
[00:09:22] Speaker B: No. It always wanted to spin.
[00:09:25] Speaker A: There's one here down on 11th Street.
[00:09:30] Speaker B: Yeah. That you can go do it yourself.
[00:09:32] Speaker A: We did it. We did a girls night out. It is actually really difficult. Always wanted to do it, but so fun. Yeah. Where you sit with the rules.
[00:09:39] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:09:40] Speaker A: On the thing you style it in.
[00:09:42] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:09:42] Speaker A: Yeah. We didn't do any.
[00:09:45] Speaker B: Or.
[00:09:46] Speaker A: But it's fun. But it is a mess. Like you are head to toe in clay. Always wanted. But I have. Where's that bowl? Is it here? Maybe it's at my house. Or it might be here. I think it's in there. I'll show you that we did that.
[00:09:59] Speaker B: You did make bowls, huh? Yeah. It's really love to do that.
[00:10:03] Speaker A: You should go do it. It's. They have classes at night or during the day too.
[00:10:07] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:08] Speaker A: It's kind of.
[00:10:09] Speaker B: And you do it probably that clay that reminds me of one of the things. Like I don't. Oh, I bet it's from trying because I told you I was starting to use retin a like on my knees and stuff. Well, I'm like, why are my fingertips crap? My cuticles never crack. And I bet it's that drying it out some.
[00:10:25] Speaker A: Probably.
[00:10:26] Speaker B: I guarantee it. Well, just, you know Nina Poole, I always like her hacks because she's on.
[00:10:32] Speaker A: She.
[00:10:33] Speaker B: Her motto is because we have no money. So she finds hacks for everything.
And she said, I guess there's some lip gloss out there or something that's called flannel lips. And sometimes you can buy it at TJ Maxx and everything. I looked at the reviews on Amazon and they are really good. But it's called Liana lips. But she said you can get the same thing out of using lanolin nipple cream on your lips. And you can use it on your cuticles and you can all that. Like it is a game changer when it comes to dry lips. So you get that Lanceno, you know, nipple cream and put it on your
[00:11:12] Speaker A: lips and what's it do for your lips?
[00:11:13] Speaker B: Just softens them. Just the cracks out. Yeah. Like it's supposed to be really, really good.
So I mean. And just like the whole desitin thing on your face, which I've not tried, but there's a lot of people who really claim it cleared their face up of stuff.
[00:11:28] Speaker A: Well, I've always heard do eye cream on your. Around your lips because it's so much thicker. Because, you know the eyes.
[00:11:33] Speaker B: And I've always done that. Yeah. I like to just pull what I've Got on like that around my lip. She was talking about how she gets these like, weaved cotton pads, you know, like facial cleaning pads. And there's one that's kind of like a weave. So just look it up. Weave cotton pad. And she uses an oil cleanser and probably the Palmers, because I know she's a big thing of Palmer's or. Yeah, Palmer's oil facial cleanser. And put that on your little pads and then you lay it on your nose. If somebody has like blackheads or, you know, sebaceous filaments is what she calls it. But you kind of let that dry on there and then pull it off because oil attracts oil.
It is the most cleansing thing for people who have, like deep pores and need to clean them out. That's worth a try.
[00:12:17] Speaker A: And what did she put on the.
[00:12:20] Speaker B: An oil cleanser.
[00:12:21] Speaker A: Oh, okay.
[00:12:22] Speaker B: So I know like Palmers makes one. I'd probably just start with something like that, but an oil cleanser and put it on there. Get. And let it sit on your nose like a biore strip or something. And it supposedly does like a really good deal.
[00:12:36] Speaker A: You know, I've been using that Pomifera. You've heard of pomifera oil? They have one called a rose oil and they also have a one that's called cleanse or something. But it's like a pre cleanse oil that you put on before you do your.
[00:12:50] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:12:51] Speaker A: Soap. And man, I'm telling you, it just like this red lipstick I wear that's 12 hours right off. Wipes it right off. My face will be red.
[00:12:58] Speaker B: Who's that lipstick by?
[00:13:00] Speaker A: This cover girl.
[00:13:02] Speaker B: Which one is like the 24 hour wear or something?
[00:13:04] Speaker A: In the grocery store in a box. It comes in a box with the lip gloss.
[00:13:07] Speaker B: It's a stick, right? Those black sticks?
[00:13:09] Speaker A: No, it's. It shows the color through it. It's a clear plastic. It's got white lid, and it comes with a full white lip gloss.
[00:13:17] Speaker B: You do it with a tube. Is it a tube? Okay.
[00:13:19] Speaker A: With a little felt tip on it. I've been using this for nine years.
[00:13:23] Speaker B: Never seen you without lips.
[00:13:24] Speaker A: No, you put it on the morning. If you just.
[00:13:26] Speaker B: That's because you don't eat fast food.
[00:13:28] Speaker A: Well, I don't eat. I could.
[00:13:29] Speaker B: Mine would come right off with that French fry.
[00:13:33] Speaker A: Well, olive oil will take it off pretty quick.
So I used to eat salads with olive oil on it.
[00:13:39] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:13:39] Speaker A: And that will take it off. Any kind of olive oil. Any kind of oil will take it off. But if you Put it on there and let it dry. And don't touch it. And don't use the lip gloss that comes with it, because if you do that, it won't stay.
But if you just let it go, you kind of have to get used to drier lips because there's no moisture. Oh, yeah. But they'll stay all day. I mean, I don't.
[00:13:59] Speaker B: A salad bar sounds really good.
[00:14:00] Speaker A: I know. I wish we still had Salada. I love that thing.
[00:14:04] Speaker B: See, I liked my Mazio's salad bar.
[00:14:06] Speaker A: Oh, that's true.
[00:14:08] Speaker B: 41st Emporia. It was so funny because we like the lady now. We used to call her the Salad Nazi because she, like.
You couldn't walk over there and, like, drop a piece of cheese. And she was on it. Like, there was.
[00:14:21] Speaker A: That's nice.
[00:14:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Now we're like, oh, and we've never been to a salad bar that's ever been kept. Like, that woman kept that salad bar.
[00:14:29] Speaker A: And we were so appreciative of it. Did you ever go to salad when they were here?
Oh, my gosh. There was one on Cherry street and one at. In the King's shopping center at 61st in Yale.
The freshest, best salad bar. And they picked out your stuff for you. So good.
[00:14:47] Speaker B: We go to Jimmy's. Jimmy's Deli has a good salad. They got a big salad bar.
[00:14:52] Speaker A: I miss Salada. They went out during COVID See, it's too bad. Yeah. It was owned by the same guy, and he closed them during COVID because you couldn't. You know, I would still go in there. I would call in and pick it up and, oh, my gosh, they were so good. I lived on those salads. But olive oil will take it off. But if you. And it's like $7 a box.
[00:15:12] Speaker B: Can't beat it.
[00:15:13] Speaker A: And it's 8:30 is the number.
[00:15:15] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: They're numbered.
[00:15:16] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:17] Speaker A: It's the best red lipstick. But anyway, this pomafera will take it off. It's the best oil. And then that pre oil, you put that on your face and it just starts breaking down your makeup. And then when you put your.
[00:15:28] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a double cleanse is really so important.
[00:15:32] Speaker A: I love pomifera.
[00:15:34] Speaker B: So. Well, do you get red marks on your face? Do you have any, like, broken little
[00:15:39] Speaker A: capillary around my nose? Yeah, some of the little capillaries.
[00:15:43] Speaker B: Well, she also said to take Afrin. And apparently there's dermatologists that have talked about it working and all that. Again, do not take advice from us. Go do your Own research. But she said take Afrin that. Yes, the Afrin nose spray.
[00:15:59] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:16:00] Speaker B: And you put it in your hand with a little bit of your moisturizer.
Yeah. It's the active ingredient, oxymet. I'm not even going to try to say. It is a vasoconstrictor that temporarily those blood vessels to reduce facial redness and flushing associated with rosacea. So if you've got little, you know, broken little vessels and things like that on your face, they say to take Afrin nose spray. And she swears that the Dollar Tree one is just as good. You put a few drops of that in your palm with your moisturizer and then put it on all over your face.
And it says that it temporarily narrows blood vessels to reduce facial redness and flushing associated with rosacea.
So kind of a cool tip.
[00:16:45] Speaker A: I always get red right on my cheekbones. Like anytime I do anything to my face, it gets bright red.
[00:16:51] Speaker B: Well, you can even put it on a zit or something that's red or, you know, interesting. Something like that.
[00:16:57] Speaker A: Afro nose spray. Yeah.
[00:16:59] Speaker B: And go to the Dollar Tree and
[00:17:01] Speaker A: you mix it with any moisturizer.
[00:17:02] Speaker B: Any moisturizer. Don't put it in your moisturizer. Mix it together on your hands, like a little palette, and then put it on.
[00:17:08] Speaker A: Put that on.
[00:17:08] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:17:09] Speaker A: Huh?
[00:17:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:10] Speaker A: Speaking of dollar tree, I went into a dollar tree for the first time last week.
[00:17:15] Speaker B: Really? What?
[00:17:16] Speaker A: Yeah. And I have one right by my house.
[00:17:18] Speaker B: There's so much you can get.
[00:17:20] Speaker A: I'm so surprised. I had no idea.
[00:17:22] Speaker B: Truly. I mean, it is. There's so much that we are like, whoa, why am I spending five times that at Walmart? Even at Walmart for certain things. I mean, think about just witch hazel or. I mean, there's so much there that is great.
[00:17:37] Speaker A: I was shocked. I was looking for clear plates, you know, because I'm crafting.
[00:17:41] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:17:43] Speaker A: And I was like, I bet they have them in there.
[00:17:45] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:17:46] Speaker A: I could just go buy them. Sure enough for a dollar. Like really nice. Yes. Glass saucers.
[00:17:51] Speaker B: Yes. And they have little. These little, like clear, like little candy dishes that are plastic. But if you had a party or something, you just want to put out something clear with candy. Like, they're not chintzy looking. They're not. They're great.
[00:18:02] Speaker A: Well, they're dishes and stuff. I was shocked at like a $25 for.
But they're making flesh.
[00:18:09] Speaker B: I have on today is something from the Dollar Tree. I had stuff that I've just played around with and whatever, you know, because I mix things up and do, you know, all kinds of. So yeah, nobody needs to be turning their nose up to the dollar tree.
[00:18:23] Speaker A: Well it wasn't even that. I just never thought about like I, I don't know what I thought was in there but I didn't realize what's in there.
[00:18:29] Speaker B: Like there's a lot of. Really now it's a dollar 25.
[00:18:31] Speaker A: Most things are $1.25 or a dollar 50.
[00:18:34] Speaker B: I think they do have like a five dollar corner now but I don't even, I'm too cheap to look at their $5.
[00:18:40] Speaker A: $5. No way. But even Target now has that dollar section that has some really cute.
What did I buy? Oh, I bought some heart shaped candles that are in the sharp heart shaped glass container with a candle that I did for the center of my table for one of my dinners and they were like a dollar it or they were, they were $2 at Target but now they have that whole dollar section
[00:19:05] Speaker B: of it and it's always cleaned out. Like people are always.
[00:19:09] Speaker A: Yeah. So I was kind of impressed with the dollar tree and I have one right there by me and I just, that wasn't someplace I ever thought to go into but my dad was always shopping at the dollar store and I'm like what are you buying in there? And he goes they have everything.
[00:19:23] Speaker B: What can you not find?
[00:19:24] Speaker A: Yeah, pretty crazy for me.
[00:19:26] Speaker B: So anyway, well yeah, because I actually went in the other day and I got some of the little.
Oh those little silver throwaway baking trays.
[00:19:35] Speaker A: Oh yeah.
[00:19:36] Speaker B: Which is where I would always go if you're taking a treat and you want the covered kind.
I mean you can get them there like in a two pack for a dollar and they're like three something for one at Walmart. But anyways, I bought some because I have been hyper focused on planting right now. Like I'm so excited about spring and all that.
[00:19:56] Speaker A: You are?
[00:19:57] Speaker B: Oh man, I am. I have so many seeds it's not even funny. I don't even know where to start. But you can do these things called seed snails. And I tell anybody just go Google it and you're going to be fascinated at how you can go ahead and start your seeds. And you basically take you know like 8 inch strips of plastic.
Even if it's your potting soil mix bag, you just cut it up. You can recycle anything from little bubble wrap, newspaper, whatever and you put, you line it with dirt and then you roll it up like a snail and you make, you get probably a three foot piece of plastic and then you roll it up and you set it. Set it up. Right. And you sprinkle your seeds in that snail.
And then you put barely any dirt back over it, set it in a tray.
You spray it with some water, and put it in a sunny window. Some seeds require darkness, you know, for their first bit of germinating. So but it will sprout the best root system because the roots just grow down and they aren't getting tangled up in each other.
And you will have so many flowers that you would have spent so much money on at the store, and they'll
[00:21:07] Speaker A: be ready for spring, ready for you to come. Plant them in my first space.
[00:21:11] Speaker B: Yeah, but you can but, like, go into chat and take. Get. Take pictures of your landscape.
It'll ask you, like, what time this. You know, what's this shade like here? Where's this pot gonna be? So I've done all that. I've taken pictures of all my seeds so it knows exactly what I have.
It knows the sun direction at what time, and it is perfectly laid out. What seeds need to go in what pots and where in all to our zone. Like, you cannot beat it. It is so exciting. Yeah, right.
It's like, I will go back to my crafting.
[00:21:47] Speaker A: I want to. I want them when they're planted in there. I don't want to plant them.
[00:21:53] Speaker B: Well, most of the seeds you just have to sprinkle in your garden. There's not even any plant if you're doing seeds. You're just. Even if you put them in your ground, you just are going to sprinkle them, literally. And then maybe put a little bit of dirt, like, sprinkle dirt on top of them. Like, sprinkle.
[00:22:07] Speaker A: What about, like, the
[00:22:10] Speaker B: bar?
[00:22:11] Speaker A: What's the stuff you put on your.
[00:22:12] Speaker B: The mulch.
[00:22:13] Speaker A: The mulch.
[00:22:13] Speaker B: Well, you can wait and do that until after they, you know, sprout. It's not going to take them very long to sprout.
[00:22:19] Speaker A: But you just. I already have mulch down from last year. Do I have to take.
[00:22:23] Speaker B: Well, I'll tell you what. My zinnias grew straight through concrete.
Like, they. I had some gravel. All. All gravel. You can't even see where the dirt is. There's not any. It's like parking gravel. And some of my seeds fell out of my pot, and I had zinnias growing up from gravel.
[00:22:42] Speaker A: Wow. So they're pretty hardy.
[00:22:44] Speaker B: Yeah. Totally hearty.
[00:22:46] Speaker A: All right, we'll set up a time that you can come plant some seeds at my house.
[00:22:51] Speaker B: Right.
[00:22:51] Speaker A: So you paid someone to do that it's not cheap.
[00:22:56] Speaker B: No, it is not. So learn to sprinkle a few seeds and I think you're going to be impressed with what you get. There's so many things.
[00:23:03] Speaker A: Well, I'll have to figure and everything
[00:23:05] Speaker B: I'm planning is going to be like a cutting guard. Like I want to be able to cut them and put them in a base. Yeah. Well, I got.
How much you want to pay me to give you my design?
I'm just kidding.
[00:23:17] Speaker A: Not very much.
Well, we talked about, I think last week but I'm going to bring it up again. So I'm teaching AI classes. Yes to.
I got all sorts of people coming, business owners, real estate agents.
[00:23:32] Speaker B: Love it.
[00:23:33] Speaker A: So if you're interested, reach out because I'm putting groups together based on their business type so that we can really hone in on I think what you really idea. Yeah, I'm excited. You know we were talking about that I. When I first in 09.10 when the social media pages came out for businesses, I put together curriculum and taught for several years, taught businesses how to manage their social media marketing. Yeah.
[00:24:00] Speaker B: You were busy with that.
[00:24:01] Speaker A: I was teaching. I think I taught almost every major business in this town how to do it over the years and then got a lot of those as clients that realized they didn't have time to do it on their own and they really needed me to do it for them.
AI is a little bit different, but it still needs. People really are confused by it, frustrated by it. And so I'm going to start teaching it and I'm pretty excited about it. Yeah, there's a huge need for it.
[00:24:27] Speaker B: There is a huge need for. I mean because it's, it's, it's here.
[00:24:30] Speaker A: There's nothing.
[00:24:30] Speaker B: I mean there's truly nothing. You will always be competing with AI at this point and if you're not somewhat tuned into it.
[00:24:38] Speaker A: And there will be people that will either lose their jobs to AI, not everybody, but there will be some. And you know, there's all those AI commercials out there, influencers saying that AI is, you know, running their social media for them.
[00:24:54] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know how that. No, you have to be. I think that's the biggest thing is people cannot lose the personal attention that they. Because that will make you, I feel like stand out still in the end you can use AI all you want, but there are still so many people that want that personal.
[00:25:11] Speaker A: Personal relationship.
[00:25:12] Speaker B: Personal relationship with whoever they're doing business with.
[00:25:14] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. And there's no. I mean it just never Going to manage it. People's biggest misconception with social media marketing is that it's just posting every day. It's so much bigger than that.
It's. It is relationship.
[00:25:27] Speaker B: Absolutely.
[00:25:27] Speaker A: Dealing with those people. It is making sure that the negative comments are handled. And there's so much more to it than that. And so AI is never going to run it. No, completely. There still has to be a human paying attention and managing it.
[00:25:42] Speaker B: So a prompt that I was given today that said this something to ask your chat. It said, say, based on all the conversations we've had, can you analyze my behavioral tendencies? Keep it short and concise.
So mine turned out. It says I'm highly analytical and pattern oriented, protective and future focused, detail driven with visual thinking. I have high standards and a low tolerance for inconsistency.
Emotionally deep but controlled builder mindset stress trigger equals lack of control plus uncertainty. And it gives a little bit of details in there. But I'm like, I mean this is pretty right?
[00:26:22] Speaker A: You should also add ask AI to roast you.
[00:26:26] Speaker B: I don't think I want to do that.
[00:26:27] Speaker A: It's pretty interesting. Oh, shoot.
[00:26:30] Speaker B: Okay. Maybe next time. Yeah, it's like, I'll share that.
[00:26:33] Speaker A: Thanks for nothing.
Yeah, it's.
[00:26:37] Speaker B: Oh, wow. I had not even thought. I haven't heard that one. But that would be kind of funny. It is kind of a situation.
So good news. Like in my house, you know, my son who graduated, he has his first real job and I'm so excited for him because he is so excited. And anybody who knows Rocky, I mean he is a natural born salesman, like that is, you want to talk about somebody with relationships and can get along and he just is that way naturally, very charismatic and.
But he wanted to do it all on his own and he took a job.
Out of 100 applicants, there was only six people picked chosen to work for this company. And I have to say, as many roofing companies as I've talked to and dealt with in my business, like, you know, I am very blown away at just how this company treats their employees. So if anybody is needing a roof, I'm going to give a plug for Rocky. And he is now going to be doing sales for a company called F5 Roofing. They're out of Tulsa and they just seem like a really great place. I'm really impressed with what I've seen. I don't feel like he made a bad choice. He's in major training all over the next couple weeks, but he's like officially a big boy. He'll have a Truck he'll have. I mean, it's pretty neat. So he won't be doing the roofing. He'll be managing it and getting sales.
So, yes, look him up. It's 918955, 1595.
[00:28:05] Speaker A: Wow. She's even got it memorized.
[00:28:07] Speaker B: I know. I had to think, like, what is his number? I know everything's saved, but I want to see him be successful at it, and I think he'll do a great job.
[00:28:16] Speaker A: That always gets you. That first job will help you mature so much.
[00:28:19] Speaker B: I've already seen him. I mean, just him going to his training and having conversations with him. I already see this adult shift. And I think it says a lot, though, that they hired him at his age, because I know they kind of had put a cap on it.
[00:28:32] Speaker A: But those first jobs are fun, too, because they do sort of develop you for your future jobs.
[00:28:38] Speaker B: Yes. And these people are very into their employees, which there. You can tell they're very appreciative, like on their Facebook and things like that.
[00:28:44] Speaker A: And the fact that they're local.
[00:28:46] Speaker B: Yes, yes.
Yeah. And they deal with, like, the best of the best. So I'm very excited for him.
[00:28:53] Speaker A: Well, I was asked to speak coming up in May for a Mother's Day grief group for women that have lost their moms.
[00:29:02] Speaker B: Right.
[00:29:02] Speaker A: Yeah. I gotta get my act together because just when I read the text asking me, I cried. So I'm like, ah, I. I want to do it because I want to help other people going through it.
But I actually, after I said yes and then looked at the flyer they sent me, it's actually her birthday. My mom's birthday.
[00:29:24] Speaker B: Oh, goodness.
[00:29:25] Speaker A: The day I'll be speaking. So I'm like, is that. Is that a good thing? Maybe. I don't know. Go with it.
[00:29:32] Speaker B: You'll never know.
[00:29:33] Speaker A: Yeah, my dad. I told my dad and I said, I got to get my act together because I cried just with the request.
And he goes, well, just remember who your mom was, and that will make it easier to talk about her. Like, it's not the matter of being able to talk about it.
[00:29:47] Speaker B: And people need to see that tears are still okay and it's natural.
[00:29:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:29:50] Speaker B: We're not superhuman.
[00:29:52] Speaker A: No, I know. But, boy, I want to be able to still speak and not be blubbering like a crazy person.
And that's my fear, because, boy, I can't help it.
[00:30:00] Speaker B: Do you know somehow I was given the strength to speak at my mom's funeral?
[00:30:04] Speaker A: Oh, my goodness.
I don't know how you do.
[00:30:07] Speaker B: And I don't either. It was other than just God's good grace, but I made it through.
And then poor Ty tried to speak and he. He spoke at my dad's funeral. He gave. I mean, As a little 10 year old boy, he gave the best speech for my dad. It was so good. But then as he walked up the steps, it was really important for him to do it at my mom's. But as he walked up the steps at the church, he just. He broke down. He could not get it out. I had to go rescue him. He could not get it out.
[00:30:39] Speaker A: I would not have been able to. My dad was going to speak at my mom's and I finally said, dad, I don't think you can. You got to think about the day. And there was no way. And he. He did say, you know, a couple weeks before, he's like, I'm not going to be able to do it. And he didn't. And that day of there's no way on planet Earth, he would have been able to.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: And my sister sang at both of them through complete devastation.
So somehow you pull it together.
[00:31:07] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll see. I'm. I'm honored to be asked, but I'm.
I'm gonna have to Annie up. Annie up. Because. Yeah, I mean, I think about every.
At every dinner I have at my seat at the table dinners, I put a little butterfly in their gifts. I love that just in memory of her because I know how happy she would be that they were at my house. Yeah, she loves stuff like that.
And I can't get through that explaining why they have a butterfly without crying. Every month I do that and every month I cry, and I just can't get past it. Like, I just. It just like gets me every single time.
And so I'm like, okay, you're going to have to get in there and rally up. Yeah, yeah. There's another speaker besides me.
And so the girl did say that she wanted us to go to lunch beforehand, the three of us, to talk about it. So I think that'll help talking to the other speaker.
[00:32:04] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:32:05] Speaker A: Ahead of time, so.
[00:32:07] Speaker B: Well, good luck.
[00:32:08] Speaker A: Yeah, thanks. I have until May, so. Yeah, I have some time.
So. Crazy.
All right, well, we're out of time,
[00:32:17] Speaker B: so until next time. Yeah, maybe I'll have some seeds blooming.
I'll just go sprinkle some in your yard.
[00:32:23] Speaker A: Good. I would let you sprinkle as many seeds as you wanted. Little seed fairy flower beds all across the front that need some flowers.
I'm really late usually in the year of even planting. I'm really bad about that.
[00:32:37] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm not gonna be like that anymore.
[00:32:40] Speaker A: But now if it seeds, I guess it doesn't matter that first freeze.
[00:32:43] Speaker B: No, you just gotta wait till then and then sprinkle.
[00:32:45] Speaker A: Let them do their thing after the first freeze.
[00:32:48] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:32:49] Speaker A: Okay, so. Okay, so we would love you guys to share our page.
[00:32:53] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:32:54] Speaker A: She said podcast on Instagram. She said podcast on Facebook.
She said podcast on Tikt Talk.
Share it with your friends. Like us. Talk about us.
