Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Welcome back to the she Said podcast with Amy and Lisa. Episode 52.
[00:00:04] Speaker B: Let's go.
[00:00:05] Speaker A: Fun week or busy week?
[00:00:06] Speaker B: It has been. It seems like I was here yesterday.
[00:00:08] Speaker A: I know. And it's only Tuesday and I feel like I'm saying a week, like it's already been a full week and I know. Only Tuesday.
[00:00:15] Speaker B: Yes. I spent my whole weekend not sleeping very well and I'm like paying for it today, but I can tell. I feel this pressure of the rain coming in on my body and I don't like that feeling.
[00:00:27] Speaker A: Is it cloudy out?
[00:00:28] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. And I just have a headache that it's a little. I did go to the chiropractor which instantly walking out, it helped my neck. I felt like my neck has been kind of out anyway. Um, but I just. My whole body just felt like it was in a pressure cooker.
[00:00:43] Speaker A: Yeah. You do feel that pressure from the. The weather.
[00:00:46] Speaker B: Yep. I don't like it.
[00:00:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't either. And so I don't like the rain either.
[00:00:50] Speaker B: No. Bring us the sun back.
[00:00:53] Speaker A: I know. I love that.
[00:00:54] Speaker B: Uh huh. Sitting and looking at it.
[00:00:55] Speaker A: Yeah. You know it's funny when you text me and said that you had looked at it for a minute.
It's interesting as the far. The longer you look at it, the easier it is obviously to look at it.
But it's been cloudy in the morning. I know you're supposed to still go out there, but I don't go out there if I don't get sun. I'm not going to stare at something that's cloudy. But you know, I had those goggles, those red light goggles which I had not done for a while because they needed to be charged and I kept forgetting to charge them. And so finally.
But looking at the sun does the same thing those red light goggles did. I used to talk about it on here, about you could it. Would you have the goggles on? It's three minutes is all it lasts. But it turns every color under the rainbow. It's red because it's a red light. And then all of a sudden it's gold and it's yellow and it's purple. And then when you're. When you stop looking at it, when it shuts off, your vision is so. It's like polarized. So crazy. Well, now that I can actually look into the sun.
You can actually see the sun. You know when you first look up at the sun, all you see is the glare of the brightness. If you keep staring at it. You can see the sun in there. And all that glare, and then it all starts changing the same colors as that red light goggle changes.
[00:02:09] Speaker B: That's interesting.
How long do you look at it?
[00:02:11] Speaker A: I never stare. You're supposed to do it 10 minutes. I don't stare at it 10 minutes, but I look up into that area and you can, if you close your eyes, your lids are so thin that it still goes through, but I stare in the area of it. But then I'll focus on the sun for as long as I can stand it and let it come into focus, which is what's interesting. And then when you do that around, the sun becomes orange and purple and red. It's crazy. It changes the same color as those goggles change.
[00:02:39] Speaker B: Well, I've not reached that point. I just went last week when I said I was. I just felt low on energy and I thought, okay, I'm gonna make myself go outside. I'm gonna go ground. I'm going outside barefoot.
I looked at the sun for like, just a little bit. Like literally a short amount of time. However I can say just going outside and putting my feet in the grass and giving that time, I mean, I was re energized.
[00:03:04] Speaker A: It does.
[00:03:05] Speaker B: It was in the morning. I did it by like 9:30, I think, is what I was doing.
[00:03:09] Speaker A: It really does work. And just, even, even if you don't, like, I sit out there in the morning because I have my dog out there and I always sit out with her. So even just sitting in the direct sunlight, not even staring at it, there is something very.
I think it still works to just get that vitamin D, no matter how. How you're looking at it. So I do try to then at least get 10 minutes of my time out there where I'm looking either indirectly to it or around it or even if you shut your eyes, like sometimes in the goggles, I'll shut my eyes. But I'm back doing those because once I saw that comparison, I'm like, oh, it's the same thing. It's the same concept as staring at the sun.
So on the cloudy days, I've been doing the goggles.
[00:03:49] Speaker B: There you go.
[00:03:49] Speaker A: And so hopefully you got them charged back. I charged them, yeah. Finally. After a year or so of not being charged, which is just crazy.
[00:03:58] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:03:59] Speaker A: And also the benefit I'm hearing from those red light goggles. So did I show them to you? I don't think I did. They look like just. They're just a thin goggle. They're not big, so they really just go over like they're Going to hit your eyebrow and a little bit under your eye because they're thin. But what I'm seeing and I'm hearing from other people is that it's actually helping with the wrinkles under your eyes because it's red light right there on it. So that's what was my motivation to get it charged.
[00:04:22] Speaker B: Right.
[00:04:23] Speaker A: I thought, I'm like, oh, wait a minute, there's actually a double benefit. So all back on the red light goggles. There you go. Well, yeah. And plus, it gets your circadian rhythm. And I will tell you that last night I got an hour and 45 minutes of deep sleep and an hour and 20 minutes of REM sleep.
[00:04:39] Speaker B: That's impressive.
[00:04:40] Speaker A: That's a lot for. For me, especially just for anybody. I mean, that's a lot of.
[00:04:44] Speaker B: I got no sleep.
[00:04:46] Speaker A: I know I couldn't do it.
[00:04:48] Speaker B: I did not want to get up today, but here I am.
[00:04:51] Speaker A: Did you come back today?
[00:04:52] Speaker B: No, I came back yesterday.
[00:04:54] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:04:55] Speaker B: So speaking of grass and being outside, I learned that hostas, which. I have so many hostas there, the whole plant is completely edible. I had no idea. So when the little shoots come up out of the ground, you. You just kind of lop them off at the base and you cook them up like asparagus. I mean, supposedly it's really good. They're loaded with nutrients.
[00:05:19] Speaker A: Well, that's why all the bunnies eat the roots. Probably.
[00:05:22] Speaker B: Yeah, we probably need to see what our bunnies are eating.
And. But so, yeah, it's like a whole thing. I mean, you harvest your hostas and you eat them.
[00:05:31] Speaker A: Wow. Have you, like, you can keep hostas because I had them at my house and the bunnies ate the roots.
[00:05:37] Speaker B: No, I. I have a lot of hostas. And I do see. I do see these rabbits. Now, I put diatomaceous earth, which isn't going to stop the rabbits, but I do dust that all along the dirt to keep the slugs off.
And that seems to be my best bet to keep all those little mites and whatever can get on your plants.
[00:05:58] Speaker A: They were.
[00:05:59] Speaker B: The roots were always so upset.
[00:06:01] Speaker A: Oh, and they were so pretty, too, because they are a beautiful plant.
[00:06:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I love them.
[00:06:05] Speaker A: So you're going to eat some for dinner?
[00:06:06] Speaker B: I mean, I don't know, but you all get back with me on that. You know what, though? I don't have any. Most of mine are already up. Like, they're pretty much at least halfway grown, so I even have an elephant ear that's coming at. But only one of all of them that I have only one so far. But there was another weed that I just pulled that morning because you'll see them. You'll see them all over and one of them looks like crabgrass. And I. I'm thinking maybe that's what we called it. But it's called plantain and it's not what we're thinking. The little banana things.
Everyone needs to google this picture because it's pretty interesting to see it.
But it's a weed. We're all used to it and it has so many medicinal purposes. But they say you're supposed to chew the leaf and if you have a ant bite, a wasp sting, a brown recluse, you take the leaf, chew it until it's a pulse. This like just a spit pulses and put it on there and it will seriously cut that sting down to like next to nothing compared to what you would have had it for. But there's two different kinds that you can use. You can eat it like it's. And we're taught that they're bad so we need to kill it.
And it just again takes you back to like why are we taught to kill all these things that are healthy
[00:07:20] Speaker A: for us that people in other countries
[00:07:22] Speaker B: eat that they still eat down to dandelions. I mean.
[00:07:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:07:26] Speaker B: So I did buy myself one of those little marble. I can't think of what they're called where you grind it.
[00:07:30] Speaker A: Grind stuff in. Yeah.
[00:07:31] Speaker B: Yeah. So I got one of those yesterday. So we'll see if I'm grinding anything up.
I'll bring some dandelion tea. So I don't. I don't spray our yard. You know it. I guess maybe we do get it spray the beginning of the season for fleas and ticks. But I don't spray for weeds.
[00:07:49] Speaker A: No, I don't. I don't either. But I do spray for fleas. Yeah but I haven't sprayed with your dogs.
You do not want Lyme disease.
[00:07:56] Speaker B: Gosh, it scares me to death.
[00:07:58] Speaker A: I know.
[00:07:59] Speaker B: Especially at this whole tick out break.
[00:08:01] Speaker A: It's bad I guess.
[00:08:02] Speaker B: And there. I guess there's been farmers that have said they. I don't think we talked about it last week but they found boxes of ticks on their properties that have been dropped. So don't quote me. People can go look it up and see if it's true or not. I've not. I mean what I was watching seemed to be very full of information but there's supposedly they've had Seems like can be geoengineered these days.
[00:08:24] Speaker A: So it's true.
[00:08:25] Speaker B: I mean, started giving Piper.
[00:08:28] Speaker A: I've always had her on Cytopoint, which is an allergy shot for dogs, because she has horrible allergies, chews on her toenails, you know, all the time because of just being in the grass causes itching.
I saw a doctor talking about drink take, giving dogs local honey for allergies. Oh. And so, I mean, I've given it to her before when she's been dehydrated because it just like for blood sugar. Just when they. Because Yorkies go down so fast because they're so little that if they get too dehydrated from being sick, vomiting and stuff, that if you give them some honey, it kind of boosts their sugar back up, like almost like orange juice in a human. They're diabetic. So I've given her honey before and it's never bothered her. But I read this, I was like, wait a minute, I'm going to start giving her honey. She was due for her side of point because she went for she gets it when she gets her groomed. And it. Long story. But anyway, she was scheduled for grooming last week. And so a couple weeks ago when she was just getting so itchy because as it gets close to shot time and I'd rather not give her the shot, honestly, if I could prevent that. But she's so miserable.
Yeah, I can hear her scratching and just whimpering. Yeah, it's horrible. And so anyway, I started giving her that honey just like for her size. It's like a quarter of a teaspoon in her food in the morning. And I swear she's not itching as much.
[00:09:46] Speaker B: She probably loves that.
[00:09:47] Speaker A: Yeah, she does love it. In fact, yesterday she didn't really want to eat. Sometimes some. Some mornings, if she gets too many snacks the night before, she doesn't want to eat. And she loves her snacks. And so I'm like, but look. And I got the bottle of honey and put the half a teaspoon or quarter of a teaspoon in there. And I mean, she lapped it up.
[00:10:04] Speaker B: She came, right?
[00:10:05] Speaker A: Yeah, she loved it. There's that sweetness.
[00:10:07] Speaker B: I guess there's a. You see that video I shared, I shared on my Instagram today, but it was too funny because it was. Reminds me of Daisy and how she would do on a treadmill. And I guess it was like the treadmill of dogs. And like the other two dogs were walking and running, you know, a little pace on their treadmill and their. This white lab was laid out like it was in a coma on the treadmill. The treadmill was just working. It's the dog off of it. Like a panel of what? Slime, basically. And they could not. They were like, you got to get up, buddy. Like, get on your feet. This isn't going to work. And it just slides like, not today. And then it just slid back off like, okay, that's amazing.
[00:10:44] Speaker A: When I see those dogs on treadmills,
[00:10:46] Speaker B: I love watching dog videos. They just make me happy.
[00:10:48] Speaker A: They make me happy, too. But there's been one. What I saw that it was laying beside the treadmill with one paw on it. Just.
Just going with that one paw.
[00:10:57] Speaker B: I'm like, I feel you.
[00:10:59] Speaker A: I understand.
[00:11:00] Speaker B: I understand.
They said there's a.
A doctor who. I think the study was done between. With twins.
And it was kind of a Alzheimer's research, you know, thing. Well, part of the prescription the doctor gave was he insisted on them doing one day of legs a week because that pumps the most blood to your brain, your heart, everything.
And that gave them an improvement of 47% less risk for Alzheimer's. Just putting one day a week of legs.
[00:11:37] Speaker A: Wow. I hate legs.
[00:11:39] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:11:39] Speaker A: Leg day is never fun. Never a fun day. I need a leg day from getting Alzheimer's. I might do leg day once, once a week.
[00:11:46] Speaker B: Yeah. I need to actually got my hand
[00:11:50] Speaker A: weights out in my.
Those. Those elastic straps, you know, the bands.
[00:11:56] Speaker B: Have seen the big spring wands that you're supposed to do. It's like a simulated.
That rope, you know, when you tug the rope. Oh, yeah. So they're springs and they're heavy because my friend had them one day. I picked them up, I was like, what the heck is this? Because they're just so obnoxious looking. And I was so sore from just tooling around with those damn things.
[00:12:17] Speaker A: And they replaced, like, the ropes for slamming the ropes. I love to slam that rope.
[00:12:21] Speaker B: You can get them for like 15 bucks on Amazon. I'll find it and send it to you.
[00:12:24] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:12:24] Speaker B: It's like a shake Weight, but. Yeah.
[00:12:26] Speaker A: That's so funny.
[00:12:27] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, it. I was. I couldn't remember why. I was like, why am I so sore right now?
[00:12:33] Speaker A: I get.
[00:12:34] Speaker B: And that's what it was. Boy, I love little springs.
[00:12:36] Speaker A: And that'll get your heart rate up, too.
[00:12:38] Speaker B: Well, that it's going to do it. So that's what you need. That's your purchase this week.
[00:12:41] Speaker A: Well, I already had a few of those. I don't need more.
So I just ordered some shampoo with colostrum in it. You want some colostrum not from you. That's what you're asking.
[00:12:53] Speaker B: As I sit here, I've literally got my nipple cream laying on the table, putting it on my lips.
My lansino. Funny.
And no, I'm not pregnant or putting out colostrum.
Really?
[00:13:06] Speaker A: It was just the way you said it. But yeah, you're supposed to. Yeah, it's supposed to really help your hair grow. And so it came in today. So really, pretty soon I'm gonna have a lush head of hair.
[00:13:17] Speaker B: Well, I mean, which I could use. You just take your black seed every day. Are you taking it every day?
[00:13:22] Speaker A: No, I don't take blacks in. Oh, I can't handle it.
[00:13:25] Speaker B: Wimps.
[00:13:26] Speaker A: I can't do it.
[00:13:27] Speaker B: But you're gonna just say, give me some Colossian.
[00:13:30] Speaker A: No, I'm not gonna eat the colostrum. It's in my shampoo. Oh, I ordered shampoo with it in there.
[00:13:35] Speaker B: Okay, gotcha.
[00:13:36] Speaker A: Yeah, but they do. People do do colostrum by the spoonfuls, don't, you know, draw the line? Don't do that. Nope. It's good for you, I guess. What about in your shampoo? Would you use it in your shampoo?
[00:13:50] Speaker B: We're not even sure it come from.
[00:13:52] Speaker A: I don't know.
I didn't ask.
[00:13:56] Speaker B: Donated. I have to ask.
Is it vaccinated Colostrum?
[00:14:00] Speaker A: Yeah.
Well, if you're taking it, yeah. But probably wouldn't hurt your hair.
[00:14:04] Speaker B: I don't know. Your skin is the biggest organization.
[00:14:09] Speaker A: My hair.
[00:14:09] Speaker B: Find out where it came from.
[00:14:10] Speaker A: Don't make me not to use it because I just got it. But I've heard great things about it. You're glowing.
[00:14:17] Speaker B: That's funny.
[00:14:17] Speaker A: But in my hair.
[00:14:18] Speaker B: Yeah, I need.
[00:14:19] Speaker A: I need help there. And my eyebrows could use a little help. And my eyelashes too.
[00:14:23] Speaker B: Right. I'm telling you, use.
[00:14:25] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, I gotta do that.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: The ordinary's lash and brow.
[00:14:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:29] Speaker B: I am very impressed with it.
[00:14:31] Speaker A: Speaking of things growing, did you know that cashews are part of the poison ivy family?
[00:14:38] Speaker B: No.
[00:14:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I feel like I've heard.
[00:14:40] Speaker B: You could eat too many and you could actually be poisoned by them.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:14:43] Speaker B: And I was like.
Because like I eat handfuls of cashews and I shouldn't actually.
[00:14:49] Speaker A: What? I was listening. This doctor was talking about it and he said they are actually not even considered a nut. They are truly part of the. The poison Ivan family. And my dad loves cashews and my sister was buying him like a gallon jugs of cashews from Sam's or something and he broke out with A rash on his back. Now, he says it's from being cold, which he has done that before, so it could be that. But when I looked at it, I said, dad, that looks like poison ivy. And I reminded him of that the other day when I read this about poison ivy and cashews. And he goes, that's not what caused mine. I know what caused mine. Because he got. He was being hit by cold wind, and that's happened to him before, and he's broken out with this rash. But anyway, so, yeah, they are considered a poison. I mean, so if you eat them and you break out in a rash, it's like poison ivy. Part of the poison ivy family.
[00:15:33] Speaker B: I can't get poison ivy.
[00:15:35] Speaker A: Really. I've never had it. My mom and dad got it all the time, but I've never had it.
[00:15:39] Speaker B: No. And I know I've touched it. I have dug around in it. I've pulled it with my bare hands, not knowing, and I've not. I just. I mean, knock on what?
[00:15:51] Speaker A: Well, I do say people are sensitive to it. Some people aren't. I do think there's an allergy reaction to it. But what the doctor was saying that, you know, what causes the breakout from poison ivy is it. It leeches an oil.
And you got to get that oil off your skin. But it's just like car oil. You can't just go wash it with soap and it comes off. You literally have to scrub it off your skin. Where people don't do that. They'll go wash their hands, but they don't get the oil.
And then the oil is what causes the rash.
[00:16:16] Speaker B: It's like digging out little peppers, little jalapenos. But that never. That burn never goes away. You get it under your nails or it's in there. You're. It's to the bone.
[00:16:25] Speaker A: Well, they were saying that what ha. Why they roast cashews all the time is because it gets that oil off the cashews. It's the same oil that's on the. Underneath the coat. The shell of a cashew is the same oil that's in on poison ivy. So you can't eat raw cashews. They have to be roasted.
[00:16:44] Speaker B: That's great. I eat them all the time. Which, I mean, like, goodness. Which every time I eat nuts, I'm kind of like, what little parasite could be hanging out in here still? It really freaks me out.
So it kind of grosses me out, you know, recently, like, the.
[00:17:00] Speaker A: All the sites that's in the blueberries.
[00:17:02] Speaker B: Have you seen that? Yeah. Unfortunately, we buy frozen.
[00:17:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:06] Speaker B: Because I remember that's what Whole Foods had to do with the salmon. Like, if you really want to try to avoid this, buy the freeze dry, the frozen, individually wrapped. Yeah, that's your best bet to avoid that.
[00:17:17] Speaker A: Parasites.
[00:17:19] Speaker B: So I'm like, whoa. Because we just buy the big bags of blueberries and mix fruit, which then I'm like, am I going to stain my teeth? The blackberries and the. So if I come in here with like some purpley looking teeth, I need to know about it.
[00:17:31] Speaker A: I'll tell you. I'll be the first one to let you know.
[00:17:33] Speaker B: I was worried about that, thinking that, I mean, you could.
[00:17:36] Speaker A: Well, yeah, well, I've been seeing those videos of the. All the parasites and the blueberries and I'm like, okay, I'm not a big blueberry fan anyway, but I'm not buying any anytime soon.
[00:17:45] Speaker B: Totally freaks me out.
[00:17:46] Speaker A: And the other thing I thought about you on this is that if you put an ice cube on the arch of your foot, it will help get rid of a migraine. Really? Now I don't get migraines anymore. I used to. I don't do it. I don't get them anymore. But I did have a headache and I tried it and I feel like it worked. But I'm like, did I also took medicine before? So am I 100% it was the ice. I don't know. But your foot, you know, is such a. Try the end of everything in your body, all the nerve endings and the. It totally makes sense. That's why the detox works when you soak your foot in all the. Because everything comes through your feet. Yep. So it kind of makes sense. But it has to be like when your arch of your foot on the outside of the arch toward the side of your foot is where you're supposed to place the ice because that's where the.
[00:18:32] Speaker B: Okay, the spine.
[00:18:33] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:18:34] Speaker B: Your spine's going to kind of run right there.
[00:18:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay, so I'll try it. Have a migraine. Because you get migraines, right?
[00:18:40] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm struggling fighting one off today. But I. I mean, I had to take my prescription migraine pill today because I could tell it was. It was hanging on quite a bit. But after going chiropractor and taking that, it did help. So.
[00:18:55] Speaker A: Man, I used to get them too. And I could feel them coming on. My mom could even talk to me
[00:18:58] Speaker B: on the phone because my eyes get blurry.
[00:19:00] Speaker A: Yeah, everything you start, my eyes would get puffy. And even on the phone, like she could call me and she'd go, you have a headache, don't you? Like, she could hear it in my voice.
[00:19:10] Speaker B: My mom and I used to get them on the same day.
[00:19:12] Speaker A: Oh, really?
[00:19:13] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:19:14] Speaker A: A lot.
[00:19:14] Speaker B: A lot get them on the same day.
[00:19:17] Speaker A: My mom had them horribly when we were younger. She would be down in bed for week to two weeks. Like, dark. Couldn't have any lights on. She really had them bad. I never got him like that.
[00:19:27] Speaker B: It's bad.
[00:19:28] Speaker A: Thankfully.
[00:19:28] Speaker B: Yeah. No, they're. I feel like everyone deserves one.
[00:19:31] Speaker A: Their lifetime. You should feel what it's like. Yeah. Because they need.
[00:19:34] Speaker B: People should know what they're like.
[00:19:36] Speaker A: We used to always say when we. When it was over that we feel like it got hit by a truck. Because that's kind of how you feel. You're just sort of.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:19:42] Speaker A: They're out of it.
[00:19:43] Speaker B: So everybody needs a migraine.
[00:19:45] Speaker A: At least one.
[00:19:46] Speaker B: At least one. Yes.
[00:19:47] Speaker A: I say everybody should go through at least one chemo treatment, too.
[00:19:51] Speaker B: About that.
[00:19:51] Speaker A: Just to feel.
[00:19:52] Speaker B: I believe you.
[00:19:53] Speaker A: Just to feel that nausea level that you can't describe. Yeah.
You don't have to do more than one, but one would be great for people.
So dating in your 60s. Not that I'm in my 60s, but I'm just saying that it's a whole different ball game.
[00:20:10] Speaker B: I can't imagine. I mean, I have no plans to try to do that, but I cannot even imagine.
[00:20:17] Speaker A: So, you know, I love dating. I love men, but. And I have gone on a bajillion of them in my lifetime. Like, I've been on some really amazing guy. Rented out an entire restaurant and had it full of flowers and candlelight.
[00:20:32] Speaker B: Dang.
[00:20:32] Speaker A: Six, seven. Dutch guy named Marcel von Gallen.
[00:20:36] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:20:37] Speaker A: So I've been. I've been to the Grammy Awards with the music producer that won Grammys with Celine Dion's Titanic. Like, I've had some great dates and I love to date, but it's different now.
[00:20:49] Speaker B: What's different about it?
[00:20:52] Speaker A: The age of the man that you're with. Like, it's a whole. Like, it's just bizarre.
[00:20:58] Speaker B: So they always say they want a younger woman. So should you be looking at somebody at 70?
[00:21:02] Speaker A: No.
No. You know, I've never dated anybody my age or older. They're always younger. Not by a huge margin, but always at least five years younger.
And so I. No.
Like, there's no way. Seventies? No. Well, I can't even imagine. It's bad enough at 60.
[00:21:24] Speaker B: I'd love to be sitting at the table over observing. That would be fun.
[00:21:30] Speaker A: Stuff, It's. The dynamic is just so different.
[00:21:33] Speaker B: Why?
[00:21:34] Speaker A: I don't know. I just think maybe because they're not immature. Maybe because they're mature and I'm used to. Although I've dated some really great guy I really can't complain about. I only really had one bad one. But most of the guys I've gone out with have been pretty spectacular and they've treated me really, really well.
[00:21:50] Speaker B: Right.
[00:21:51] Speaker A: It's usually me that's been running.
[00:21:52] Speaker B: Right.
[00:21:53] Speaker A: Almost every time. In fact, I'd say nine and a half times out of ten, it was me. Too much. Yeah. And so I've always had really great experiences. I don't have any bad.
[00:22:02] Speaker B: Mm.
[00:22:03] Speaker A: Experiences with the 750 that I've been.
But I don't know, it's just. It's just. It's not as fun, I'll say that.
[00:22:14] Speaker B: Really?
[00:22:14] Speaker A: No. I was ready. I was looking at the time.
[00:22:19] Speaker B: You think you're done dating?
[00:22:20] Speaker A: Oh, I can't imagine that.
[00:22:22] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:22:22] Speaker A: I don't know. I can't imagine that.
[00:22:24] Speaker B: But Lisa's on the market if anybody knows somebody.
[00:22:29] Speaker A: I just. I just don't know. It just was not. I love. I love blind dates. Like, I've been on a million blind dates. I think they're fun.
[00:22:36] Speaker B: Gosh, I have ditched blind dates. I mean, I remember hiding out in my apartment and that poor guy walked up to my door, rang the doorbell, knocked, or whatever it was. I remember I was on the phone with my friend and I was like, I'm not going. There's no way I'm going. I'm not going. He's at the door. And I didn't go. I totally stood him up. Wow. Sorry if you're out there.
Yeah. He went back to his car. He came back, knocked again. I'm like, I am not doing that.
[00:22:59] Speaker A: That poor guy.
[00:23:00] Speaker B: I know had you.
[00:23:01] Speaker A: Do you know what he looked like? Did you. And that was what did it. Or you just weren't gonna go?
[00:23:05] Speaker B: I just wasn't gonna go. I didn't like to date. I just wasn't. I didn't like to just date.
I. I don't. Yeah. I just didn't.
[00:23:12] Speaker A: I loved it. I still love it. But this one sort of sent me back a few. I'm like, that wasn't very much fun. But wait, when? Last week.
[00:23:20] Speaker B: You went on a date last week?
[00:23:22] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:23:23] Speaker B: What?
[00:23:23] Speaker A: I've got on a few.
[00:23:24] Speaker B: I did not know this until now.
[00:23:27] Speaker A: Sorry. Does.
[00:23:28] Speaker B: Wow. Does he listen to. Does he know you?
[00:23:30] Speaker A: I don't know That's. I don't know.
[00:23:31] Speaker B: So is he gonna know now that
[00:23:33] Speaker A: I don't know he sucked?
[00:23:37] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. That is so funny.
[00:23:39] Speaker A: Just like the meeting I was in when you got here. She follows the podcast, so I think a lot of people are out there, so I don't really know. But.
[00:23:48] Speaker B: So what made it bad?
[00:23:50] Speaker A: I think the excitement wasn't there. Like I. Like I said, I love going on blind dates. I love dating. I've had some really spectacular dates. Where'd you meet him? A friend.
[00:23:59] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:24:00] Speaker A: I know. I'm trying to be really careful, and
[00:24:03] Speaker B: I just want to keep frying. Ryan. Ryan. So that's funny.
[00:24:09] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know. I. And I. I've always been, I thought a really good date. I mean, I think I'm fun.
Pretty entertaining. Where'd you eat? We went to docks.
[00:24:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:18] Speaker A: Which I love Docks.
[00:24:19] Speaker B: But if I would have walked by there and seen you, I would have stopped dead in my tracks not knowing what. What.
[00:24:24] Speaker A: What is she doing?
[00:24:25] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:26] Speaker A: Yeah. I know. Because I'm like, she's right over. She lives right over there.
She's not that far away. Going to see me.
[00:24:33] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:24:34] Speaker A: Have you been in there lately, by the way?
[00:24:36] Speaker B: Not in a while.
[00:24:36] Speaker A: He's done so much. It's really nice. Just lots of changes the past year. I mean, I hadn't been in there probably in two years.
[00:24:44] Speaker B: Oh, I've been in there the last two years. No, I mean, it is nice.
[00:24:47] Speaker A: It's like his outdoor patio is really different.
[00:24:49] Speaker B: I like his outdoor patio.
[00:24:51] Speaker A: Yeah. He's done a lot. Yeah. To that place.
[00:24:53] Speaker B: It's a good place. Yeah.
[00:24:54] Speaker A: And the food. I love their food. I love their duck. I always get his duck. I think it's really good. Sometimes some of his Cajun, you know, he does a lot of that I don't really care for, but most of it's really good. And it was good that night. But I was just kind of surprised at how much he's done in there, which is nice.
[00:25:11] Speaker B: Probably go in there.
[00:25:12] Speaker A: Yeah. I was shocked because he's done a lot. It felt just completely. I could not the same restaurant when
[00:25:18] Speaker B: they keep up with changes like that and keep it interesting.
[00:25:21] Speaker A: And they've been there forever.
[00:25:22] Speaker B: Long time.
[00:25:23] Speaker A: It's like the longest, I think restaurant that's been in that location. I would guess.
[00:25:26] Speaker B: I think you're right.
[00:25:27] Speaker A: It's always been. And those ones behind it always changing. But he's sort of been the stable. Yep.
[00:25:34] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:35] Speaker A: There was that French place back there that didn't Last. There's a lot of them in that shopping center that don't last. But he's kind of been the steady Eddie.
[00:25:42] Speaker B: Yeah, he's any good job.
[00:25:43] Speaker A: He does a lot of neighbor stuff, you know, like block parties and stuff. So anyway, that's the news of the day. Oh, and I. Do I have time to talk about this?
[00:25:51] Speaker B: Which part?
[00:25:52] Speaker A: My insurance, my mortgage went up 500amonth. Yeah.
[00:25:57] Speaker B: I'm telling you, I have heard this over and over from people, somebody I know. I think, I think there's.
Well, their insurance went up I think to 14, 500 a year. I've heard horrible stuff on insurance and it just is crazy. And they had to pay like some in arrears. I, I don't know. There was some kind of. They had to come up with an extra 10,000 just to keep their insurance policy.
It wasn't because they were behind on anything. It just had to do with like the whole paying in advance with their, however, their insurance because they'd already lived in their house for a long time.
[00:26:33] Speaker A: That's what happened with mine. Because they do an assessment every January of your escrow. They do an assessment of your escrow every January and they determine. Well, what they had done is I changed insurance companies because my insurance skyrocketed at my old one and they paid my insurance payment in November and then the new one was effective in January so they turned around and paid the new one in January.
So now I had two chunks of change out of my. And so that made my escrow in the negative because they took out two big payments to pay it and it's not right.
[00:27:11] Speaker B: I mean I made any claims and I mean it's ridiculous.
[00:27:16] Speaker A: And so then they did the assessment on my escrow so they raised my payment up 500amonth to cover escrow in the world.
[00:27:22] Speaker B: With so many people living paycheck to paycheck. How in the world.
[00:27:26] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:27:27] Speaker B: Well, they're not. I've seen people say they have to sell their homes because they can't afford the insurance.
And obviously if you have it tied to loan, you've got to have it.
[00:27:34] Speaker A: Yeah. And then your taxes. I mean I live in a neighborhood that they're tearing down all the houses and building 2 million dollar homes. So our taxes are just skyrocketing.
[00:27:43] Speaker B: Yeah, it's very, it's crazy sad because I, I think people are losing grounds over it.
[00:27:49] Speaker A: So. Well, it took seven phone calls that day to fix that and I, I'm waiting on an insurance refund check from the old insurance company because they needed to refund me because I got the payment, but I canceled. So once they give me the refund, then I can put that back in my escrow, and then they can do a reassessment of my escrow. Seven phone calls in one day to fix it. I've never in my life.
[00:28:10] Speaker B: I'm just like, that's disgusting.
[00:28:12] Speaker A: And I was talking to my insurance broker, and I'm like, the only person that knew what happened was you, and you didn't tell me. So here I am having to pay $500 more because they can't do a reassessment until I get the refund check. So I had to pay 500 more this month, and then they'll do a reassessment, But I'm. I'm out the 500. The 500 is already in there.
[00:28:33] Speaker B: I'd be sick about it.
[00:28:34] Speaker A: Oh, I was. That day, I was like. I was not happy. But it's crazy how they just randomly do it, and they're just like, okay, I guess you're just going to pay for it. It's crazy.
[00:28:45] Speaker B: Not okay.
[00:28:46] Speaker A: It's not. So watch your. Watch your escrow.
[00:28:49] Speaker B: Yeah. People need to pay attention.
[00:28:52] Speaker A: It'll get you.
[00:28:52] Speaker B: Well, we just got the new water meters.
[00:28:55] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't have one yet.
[00:28:56] Speaker B: Yeah. And I don't. And I've seen.
I've seen horror stories. Lots of people saying, like, their bill went outrageous.
[00:29:03] Speaker A: Yikes.
[00:29:04] Speaker B: Because of them.
I. I've just seen mixed reviews, but there was enough people that said their water bill went skyrocketed once that whole
[00:29:12] Speaker A: digital thing went in, making the phone calls, and it's not fun, and it's a. It makes for a long day, but you gotta.
[00:29:18] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:29:19] Speaker A: Stay on top. All right, well, we're out of time.
[00:29:21] Speaker B: That flew by.
[00:29:22] Speaker A: So we will see you guys next week.
[00:29:25] Speaker B: All right, bye.
