Show Notes

The new episode of She Sed starts with Amy accidentally taking a power nap before recording and turns into a conversation about the surprising ways we find energy, connection, and calm in the middle of everyday life. Lisa shares how short naps helped her get through chemotherapy and why she’s suddenly interested in the growing trend of chair fitness classes.

Amy tells the story of a trip to the tire shop that resulted in an unexpected friendship with a woman she had never met before. What started as a simple conversation turned into an hour-and-a-half discussion, exchanged phone numbers, and a reminder that sometimes the best connections happen when you least expect them.

The conversation then shifts to the growing problem of large parties at Airbnb rentals, the impact they have on neighborhoods, and the challenges facing law enforcement today. We also dive into sleep struggles, stress-reduction techniques, TMJ relief, and some of the wellness hacks we’ve recently discovered.

Finally, we talk about Remarkably Bright Creatures, the movie adaptation starring Sally Field, and why both of us loved the story. As always, it’s a mix of real life, wellness, friendship, and the unexpected conversations that make She Sed what it is.

Episode Transcript

[00:00:02] Speaker A: Welcome back to the she Said podcast with Amy and Lisa. [00:00:06] Speaker B: Hi. [00:00:07] Speaker A: How are you? [00:00:08] Speaker B: I'm good. I'm awake. I took a nap accidentally. [00:00:11] Speaker A: That's the best kind of nap though. [00:00:13] Speaker B: My mom always said take a cat nap and I thought you're crazy. 20 minutes. Who gets refreshed after 20 minutes? [00:00:19] Speaker A: You do. [00:00:20] Speaker B: Yeah. And I never do that. I was the world's worst nap taker when I was a kid that I vividly remember the room I was sent to at this daycare and it was basically the naughty nap room where if [00:00:33] Speaker A: you're a bad child and it was [00:00:35] Speaker B: so scary I can remember it perfectly how scared I was. [00:00:41] Speaker A: Traumatizing church. [00:00:43] Speaker B: Yes. But I just would get sent in. There's a couple other kids maybe that might get sent there. But like yeah, I've never loved naps. [00:00:49] Speaker A: I'm not a nap person either. But I've always heard that a 20 minute nap every day is like a power nap. And it will really help your if [00:00:57] Speaker B: you can keep people knocking on your door or needing something asking or something. [00:01:01] Speaker A: Yeah. If you have a family. [00:01:02] Speaker B: Almost impossible. But I did it today. [00:01:05] Speaker A: I do know a lot of people that stop in the middle of the day. I will say when I was going through chemo I had a couch in my office downtown and I every day I had to. I mean my body just sort of told me but I do. I'd set my alarm for 20 minutes and it really did refresh me. Yes. I used to kind of perk me [00:01:21] Speaker B: back up any windows and I would. Exactly. I would. I was like, oh, I kind of like this because it did. The doors worked. It was a full door and I was. I remember it was right when I had had rocky. So I was still nursing. I was working and Brian didn't care. He. I mean like. And I remember I brought a pillow and a blanket that I kept in [00:01:38] Speaker A: my office and I was on the [00:01:39] Speaker B: floor and just take it. Nobody could bother me. Could take a little quick nap. It was so good. Now our new offices have all glass. I'm like gosh darn it. [00:01:49] Speaker A: Oh, that's a bummer. [00:01:49] Speaker B: It was a great way because there is escape. [00:01:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Even my aura ring on nights I have a really weird sleep. It'll say maybe you know, sometime during the day even if you could just sit and close your eyes. Helps your body sort of refresh. [00:02:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:03] Speaker A: So they. It does make a difference. There's something to be said about a power nap. [00:02:07] Speaker B: I totally agree. So. [00:02:10] Speaker A: Well, I think we have to talk about the whole classic Car parade thing happening in Tulsa. [00:02:16] Speaker B: Anything about like. Because I just happened to notice it and I was like, well, I didn't have interest in. So I, I clicked past it for whatever reason. But what is going on? I saw there's drama, people want money back or something. [00:02:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I guess they're, you know, and you and I, after planning a parade and being involved in parades, there's the best laid plans can go haywire pretty quickly. And I know that that's what's happened. [00:02:39] Speaker B: But just from one float backfiring like [00:02:41] Speaker A: oh, one person shows up when they're not supposed to or comes in the wrong gate and it throws everything and they have no idea like how much that throws off. [00:02:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:02:51] Speaker A: You can have 7,000 people out there helping and one person shows up at the wrong time and it messes the whole thing up. So I don't know the whole. But what I have heard is that I know they had over 3,000 people and I think that's what actually showed up and went in the parade. But they had several thousand or at least a thousand that didn't make it in because of a Traffic jam on 21st. [00:03:14] Speaker B: All over. [00:03:15] Speaker A: All over. And so they didn't. They got here, they registered, but they never made it to the Expo Square where they were staging in time to go and be involved in the parade because a traffic jam on Yale. [00:03:29] Speaker B: Wow. [00:03:29] Speaker A: So obviously whatever happened with traffic, they all came at the same time is what I'm guessing people came because this. The ones that came early like between 4 and 7 in the morning got in no problem. So ones that were coming later in the morning, so I'm guessing who knows what happened truthfully. But they were backed up sitting in traffic for three hours. [00:03:50] Speaker B: Yikes. [00:03:50] Speaker A: To get there until they didn't make it. [00:03:52] Speaker B: And did that happen with one? I don't remember what company it was, but I remember one of our parades afloat showed up early wanting to get in place. What had happened and it really was. [00:04:05] Speaker A: Yeah, it was. Well the one I did was boohaha. And I. I mean I had a laid out plan and you got a time that you were supposed to arrive, you got away, you were coming in. Because we had people being staged from different areas. We had volunteer. I mean it was the best laid plan. And you have one person that shows up 30 minutes early with a truck and a big trailer and they want. You can't put them anywhere because they were supposed to come in on their right time to get lined up to go. And now they're blocking traffic they're blocking the other entries that have arrived on their designated time. [00:04:41] Speaker B: The moral of the story is follow, follow the rules. Yeah, guys, there is a, there's a plan. [00:04:47] Speaker A: So the, the people that put this thing on this last weekend are just getting hammered. These people, they probably don't know. There are probably a lot of things that happen that cause a problem. They probably had a plan, who knows? But Tulsa is getting bashed by people outside of Tulsa saying to boycott going back to Tulsa, which is a shame because you're not hurting the people that put it on. You're hurting the small businesses and all the people that you're coming. So it's a shame. And I hope that that gets remedied. I know they're going to refund all those people. That is, I don't know. And, but there, you know, there's one company out there that's really vocal on social media and he wants an apology. It's like, you know what, just go on. I just don't get it. It's like, okay, here's what you do. Okay. Then you plan the next one. Because as an event planner, understand that [00:05:38] Speaker B: sometimes I'm like, just move on from things. Like, I don't understand the whole. [00:05:44] Speaker A: It drives me crazy. [00:05:46] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't just move on. [00:05:49] Speaker A: You know what they're, they're dealing with 7,000 things coming at them right now because of it. [00:05:53] Speaker B: It's just like stressful. [00:05:55] Speaker A: It happened. It's over now. Let's move on with something bigger and better in life because it's done. But again, I feel bad for the people that put it on. And the very thing I said the day it happened is like, thankfully I was not involved in that. [00:06:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:09] Speaker A: Can you imagine those things are stressful? No, I'm glad that I had no part of it. They couldn't pay me enough. [00:06:15] Speaker B: The other little stressful things. So there's a house on our street that is an Airbnb. And I've always noticed there's like new people walking down our street and then they're gone. They're there a day gone, you know, whatever families, you know, enjoying Brookside and the gathering place. Well, the other night, Sunday night to be exact, there was a party in a three bedroom, two bath house that ended up with over a hundred kids. [00:06:39] Speaker A: Geez. [00:06:41] Speaker B: The music you could hear from streets over because neighbors, another street walked over at 1:30 in the morning to find out what all the noise is about. I have another neighbor that took videos. There were over 40 cars parked in the yards and in the driveways of unsuspecting neighbors that maybe slept through it or, you know, nobody gave him permission. The police showed up with sirens, lights. My husband was not working, so he wasn't privy to, like, all the information, but lights, sirens beating on the door that the kids, they. They locked the adults out of the. Lock the police out of the house. They finally came out just as loud and as obnoxious as you can imagine. This house does have a pool, which I've seen online, where it said they tend to. These parties that are happening a lot more and more on these Airbnb tend to seek out homes with pools so [00:07:34] Speaker A: they can have parties. [00:07:35] Speaker B: So I do suggest if you find out that you have an Airbnb on your street and you happen to find it on the Airbnb or VRBO listings, you take a screenshot of it at that moment. So you've always got it to fall back on. Because what happens is these owners, this owner in particular lives in Arizona, and they. The listing is being added and removed, so you can't always find it. So, like, right now, we can't find it, but another neighbor has seen it on Airbnb. So I don't know the purpose of that, but I know there's some people that live right next to it who are not happy and they're following through on because this has happened. You know, there's been other instances that this has happened to them, but, like, man, if you've got a pool at your house, you know, be aware if you are renting it, because it really is a problem. [00:08:21] Speaker A: I've heard so many horror stories about Airbnbs and the parties like, that they do it under anonymous names or something. [00:08:27] Speaker B: They get. Yeah, they get a new name that they can do it, and they. They're beating the system somehow, and it's just. And they. I suggest having a camera on every entry and exit because I've seen the actual snaps that have been passed around on my friend's house where it said, enter only through the side door, avoid the front door, because there's a camera. They. They know how to. They've already staked this out. That's how to make these parties happen. So. And then apparently it busted up and went to Hicks Park. Somebody had said, because then they ended up at another park. These kids ran off and they go. And they. It just isn't over. So. But on happy note, I have very, very good friends of mine who opened up and just started up their Airbnb on Grand Lake, and it's called Reflection Point, and It sleeps like 15 plus people. It's enormous. It has the best view of Grand, So it's going to be like more in the Langley area. So it's only going to be an hour's drive from Tulsa. And if you call him direct, you can, I guess, probably get better booking rate. So he said I could give his name, and his name's Abel, and you can reach him at 405-853-1519. And I just want to see him have great people in there. I don't want them to have nightmare stories, but it is so perfect for big family gatherings and. Or bachelorette weekend, whatever. But if you go, just take care of it. [00:09:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:52] Speaker B: Put a lot into it. And it's just so good. I mean, they're ready to accommodate, and I'm excited for them. [00:10:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:01] Speaker B: Wow. [00:10:02] Speaker A: I don't know. I don't understand the Airbnb thing that people think that's okay to do. I just don't get it. [00:10:08] Speaker B: They don't care because there's nothing at stake. They're anonymous and they. [00:10:11] Speaker A: They're at the amount of town motors [00:10:13] Speaker B: that are passing around all these Airbnb flyers. I mean, there's all these, like, promoters now, which is really disturbing to even see the promotion flyers. You can see the flyers and be like, that's going to be a bunch of TNA and that. Bring in your beer. And they're like, we'll have security, which is just their own people. Like, it is nothing. It's really terrifying, honestly. So. [00:10:36] Speaker A: Especially for the neighbors. [00:10:37] Speaker B: I feel like there needs to be an anonymous page that is started strictly for riding out on these parties. Like, if people find out about them, send your stuff there anonymously and let them. Let these things get taken care of. It's really. And it's wreaking. It's hard on the police department. [00:10:53] Speaker A: Well, yeah. [00:10:54] Speaker B: I hate that. Yes. [00:10:55] Speaker A: I was at the hairdresser today. We, you know, we're always talking about Peptides, and I went to have my hair colored today. And she just does, you know, colors of roots and obviously platinum blonde hair. And she immediately said, lisa, what is going on with your hair? She goes, your roots are so dark. Darker than they've ever been and darker than they were six weeks ago. [00:11:17] Speaker B: And not gray. [00:11:19] Speaker A: Not gray. Like a dark brown. [00:11:20] Speaker B: Real color is coming back. [00:11:21] Speaker A: Yeah. And I was like, I don't know. But my hair's been weird for the past four weeks. So, you know, when you go through chemo, it really takes about seven years for it to come back to where it used to be before chemo. Sometimes some people don't go back. It stays the new. Mine was really curly afterwards and no pigment, so it was silver. And then the curl last. Six weeks ago, she said, do you have one curl left in your hair? And it was at the very back of my head today. I go, and it's curly again. And then I have this dark roots. And she parted my hair in the back and put a mirror up so I could see it. And they are dark brown. So I was like, well, maybe I'm going back to Burnett. How about that? And she goes, well, it'll be a lot harder to go platinum if you're brunette, so I really hope you're not. But she goes, I don't understand. I've never seen someone's hair go from silver basically back to brown. [00:12:10] Speaker B: No, I noticed it right when I walked in. Like, I like the color. Something was different about the color. I could tell. I mean, it looks really good, and it looks fluffy and. Fluffy. [00:12:19] Speaker A: How about full? Well, it's because I didn't do any toner on it. It's just pure bleach. Trying to figure out what I said. Well, it's probably all the peptides I take. Well, then later on in the conversation, she was asking, well, what peptides are you on now? Just out of curiosity, because she doesn't really know much about them, and I was naming them, and then when I got to the ghkcu, which is a copper peptide, she goes, well, there. There's the reason why your hair's turning. It's the copper, it's the mineral. And I had. I had actually heard that from one of the girls I follow on Instagram. She had two gray streaks in the front of her. Ha. That she was trying to keep gray. She liked it that way, having that one streak, and it went back to her natural. And I remember her talking about that. I was like, I think she's just saying that to sell peptides. I don't think that's true. [00:13:06] Speaker B: Well, it's working. [00:13:08] Speaker A: It's done the same thing to mine. So who knows what happens in the next. Pretty soon I'm going to be brunette again. [00:13:14] Speaker B: There you go. [00:13:14] Speaker A: Don't have to color my hair. [00:13:15] Speaker B: Get it done. [00:13:16] Speaker A: Yeah, I just thought that was fascinating. I love those crazy peptides, but I thought that was interesting. [00:13:24] Speaker B: I wish I had. I really should share the link, but this girl is using compound W and apparently, like, this is a trend among people because it's working in many situations. That she had dark spots on her face and she's doing. So I would say if you're going to do a search, just search compound W for dark spots. And she had two big ones on her face. One of them has not come back. It's gone. The other one is lightly coming back. So she's gonna try one more round of it and see. I don't know any other details in that, but apparently if you have some serious dark spots, it's, you know, one way to approach it. Don't take my advice. Just go look for it yourself, because I'm just as much in it. But I thought it was kind of interesting. Yeah, interesting. So, I mean, I just saw a picture of my chest compared to last year at this time, and I was like, hold on. I had to kind of go back and forth and look, there is a huge, like, texture difference, like just kind of spots. It's just smoother than it was. The only thing I'm doing different is doing that red light. I don't know if I'd already talked about that, but, you know, I have that red light wrap that I use for my knee a lot or if I'm driving every night before I go to bed, I lay it on my. From my neck to my stomach. And it is doing a good job. [00:14:43] Speaker A: I believe in those red lights. [00:14:45] Speaker B: Yeah. And I just started dry brushing, too, and I. I may have bought the only last ones they had at Trader Joe's, but they have this really awesome kit that is $6 and it is. It includes a very fine scrub, like very fine. And then it has a dry brush that is the kind that I was looking for that they want, you know, 15 to 25 on Amazon. Well, this, I really like this brush. And then it comes with an oil, a good size, like body oil to put on afterwards. And I love it. So I went back and I bought several more because it's a seasonal thing. So it's a kit. [00:15:21] Speaker A: Where do they. Where do they have. They don't have stuff like that at Trader Joe's, do they? [00:15:25] Speaker B: Do they have a great skin selection? [00:15:26] Speaker A: Where is that? [00:15:27] Speaker B: Right on the aisle. You're looking in the wrong. It's like a whole health and beauty thing. Oh, yeah. [00:15:34] Speaker A: I haven't never noticed that. I'm always looking for flowers. [00:15:36] Speaker B: Oh, no, go on. Tick tock. And put in Trader Joe's Beauty or whatever. And they have a ton of dupes for things like people that do reviews on stuff. [00:15:43] Speaker A: Oh, online or in the store. [00:15:44] Speaker B: In the store. [00:15:45] Speaker A: Oh, okay. [00:15:46] Speaker B: Yeah. No, they have a huge, they have a great area. [00:15:49] Speaker A: I wonder where it is. [00:15:51] Speaker B: Yeah, I love it. [00:15:53] Speaker A: I didn't know. [00:15:53] Speaker B: Good way to buy like the retinol if you want to use it for your whole body or you know, because it's not super expensive and. But some of the reviews will really tell you like this is a good, this is not like, you know, whatever. [00:16:04] Speaker A: I need to start taking. Do retinol. I don't do that. [00:16:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I need to, I do do that. I like to put it on my arms and. Yeah, I'll just. And I really don't have any spots on my arms and hands. [00:16:18] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, you know we've been talking about the vibration plate and I was telling you how much it's working for me. I think it's done a great job. But I was watching a video and what's coming, what's the new trend with young people which I'm pretty excited about. [00:16:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:34] Speaker A: Is chair fitness. Have you seen the videos? [00:16:37] Speaker B: No. [00:16:38] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a whole class and you're sitting in just like a dining room chair. You know, just. Yeah. Like with the cushion on it and the full workouts. Like this young kid is teaching the class and it's, I mean it's like average age is 30 to 40 year olds in the class instead of seniors. Like they do chair fitness at senior citizens. [00:16:56] Speaker B: Yeah, homes. [00:16:57] Speaker A: But they're now doing, it's like becoming a trend among young people and they always say it looks hard, it's harder than it looks. [00:17:03] Speaker B: Well, yeah. [00:17:04] Speaker A: And so I mean they're doing everything to music and they're kicking their legs and doing all sorts of stuff. I'm like that is right up this old lady's alley right now. I want to try it. [00:17:13] Speaker B: Get some three pound weights and I mean absolutely. I can lift heavier that but I was trying to focus on just doing the high reps of these really light and I'm just telling right now there is more definition coming back to my arms than I ever expected in a very short amount of time. [00:17:32] Speaker A: I've been using three pounds too on the vibration plate on my arms and I'm noticing definitely a difference. [00:17:38] Speaker B: Yeah. So don't underestimate that high rep, low weight because it does get exhausting after a while. So yeah, like, you know, I'm not, I need to pick up the pace and do more of it. But I, I do see a difference. [00:17:54] Speaker A: Well, they're saying this chair fitness is like the new trend. So we'll see. I'm looking for a class. [00:18:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:00] Speaker A: I could Do a chair fitness all day classes. Now I know I, I could be admitted into a senior citizen home. So could you. [00:18:09] Speaker B: I know it's 50. [00:18:11] Speaker A: It's 50 and above. 50 and above your senior. How sad is that? Especially when you feel like you're not. [00:18:19] Speaker B: I'm still wearing a mini skirt. This senior is wearing a mini skirt and short. [00:18:24] Speaker A: Although you could barely get out of your chair though. [00:18:26] Speaker B: So. Yes. I've been painting and I'm so sore. [00:18:29] Speaker A: I'm like, wow, that funny. Doesn't even matter. It gets you. [00:18:33] Speaker B: No. So I had today I had to get a bolt and two screws down my tires. I've been rolling around on it forever. And I made the appointment, which was so frustrating because I made the appointment for 12. I still sat there for over two hours. Two hours with an appointment. I had an oil change and a bolt and two screws. And so I'm like, what's the point of the appointment? [00:19:00] Speaker A: That's annoying. [00:19:01] Speaker B: Super frustrating. But there was this lady sitting there in the corner and Rocky had walked in because he also had screws in his tire. And so. And Stephen sat there because he was dropping him off and he had just happened to walk in. And when she walked out, when they both walked out of the room, I was like, just, do you ever quit raising, you know, having to raise your kids or something to that aspect? And she was just, just this beautiful woman. I, I can't even explain it. I knew she was older. There was just something about. She just oozed class and sweetness and she's like giggled and she was like, oh. She was like, well, I never had any kids. And she said, but I've got nephews and nieces or no, it doesn't. Well, and her, her accent reminded me like of my parents. Like there was like this Louisiana draw to it, but apparently she kind of was from Michigan too. But. And you know, my dad always got said he was from. Everyone thought he was from the east coast with his Louisiana. So who knows? But we talked for an hour and a half. Like the questions of getting going back and forth, of just getting to know somebody. And today was her birthday. And even before I left, she was like, let me get your number. Like it is somebody have lunch with. So Franciel, if you're out there and listening, Happy birthday. Like, it really brings tears to my eyes because she touched my heart. She sent me a message back and she said, amy, I feel like it was God's divine plan for us to meet today. [00:20:32] Speaker A: And that's very sweet. [00:20:34] Speaker B: I Don't know. She just touched my heart. I felt like my mom was sitting there. [00:20:39] Speaker A: No. [00:20:40] Speaker B: So anyways, take the time to just, you know, make small talk with people. [00:20:44] Speaker A: It's. [00:20:44] Speaker B: It's a. It really is. I mean, they even say with the craziest of people, you can. There is something you can find as, you know, a mutual. A mutual thing guys can talk about or connect on. And I think people are missing that. And I know. And it's so funny because, you know, you've got Dog who is famous around here in midtown, in Brookside. He sells all the roses. [00:21:08] Speaker A: Okay. [00:21:10] Speaker B: A lot of people are scared of him because of his gruff voice or, you know, whatever. And he's always been genuinely so kind to my family. And, like, he always gives me a hug, like, if he sees me at quick trip or whatever. I know it probably freaks people out that I'm a hugging this stranger that, you know is five times bigger than me. And, like, what is he? But he is genuinely so nice. And, hey, we've just always connected on him. Knowing my family, I can tell you this. If somebody were hurting me, I could yell dog. [00:21:39] Speaker A: And he'd come running. [00:21:41] Speaker B: You know, we may not have a whole lot of other things in common. [00:21:43] Speaker A: Who knows? [00:21:44] Speaker B: But just take time to be nice to people. [00:21:46] Speaker A: Well, I think there's so much craziness in the world that we're just immediately standoffish from people we don't know, because you just never know what's on the other side of that person. And it's sad because there's some really genuinely cool people out there that if we all took the time to get to know, we'd find some. Some really. Yeah, great connections. [00:22:05] Speaker B: I have a friend whose sister is like, you know, she has her. She has dreadlocks. She has nose rings and stuff. And I am, like, just mesmerized by this girl because she is a fire dancer. She is beautiful. She is, like, so different, but I'm just so enamored how cool she is in so many different ways. She's a very neat person. But do we have anything in common when it comes to our hair and our. No. I'd love to have her skin. It's gorgeous. And she's got a great, perfect body, but she's just a cool person. [00:22:37] Speaker A: It is funny, but I do think we tend to not do that because we're so afraid of what's out there because there's so many crazy people. [00:22:43] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:22:44] Speaker A: But it's. Yeah, it's always fun to get to know somebody New like that. [00:22:48] Speaker B: And then trust your gut sometimes. [00:22:49] Speaker A: Yeah, well, that's. Boy, that's for sure. [00:22:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:53] Speaker A: I was driving to record a client yesterday, and I was on the up at 61st in Louis, and there was. There's a hardware store right there. Is it Ace? I don't know, but there was a guy on the corner that looked like he might be homeless. He had a shopping cart with, you know, all of his belongings in it. And they had two police cars pulled in and had him cornered in the corner. And they were all standing behind their doors talking to him with their doors open with the door between them and him. And he was just letting them have it. I mean, he was just. And I don't know what was going on. He was obviously there with a sign. And so. But as I'm watching it all happen, then this kid rides up on a motorcycle on a bike and starts. Parks next to him. That's obviously in that. Their caravan or whatever they had. And he starts yelling at the cops that are standing there with their doors open. And then the guy that they were talking to originally is telling that kid to stop. I think he had it under control, whatever what was happening. But anyway, that kid just mouthed into the cops, and he hits the kid with his baseball hat and tells him to. You know, he could tell he was telling him to stop. And it was quite the show. And I was just like, wait, I'm pulling up behind this guy at the light, and the cops are standing behind their doors because they don't want to get too close to him. So he's obviously volatile. And then when I came back by, he was still there and the cops were gone. So whatever it transpired, he stayed and was still soliciting on the street corner. [00:24:17] Speaker B: Oh, goodness. [00:24:18] Speaker A: So I don't know what it was going down, but I was talking to my dad on the phone. I'm like, okay, I'm getting ready to pull up next to a guy that the police are behind their doors talking to him. And dad goes, well, turn and go another way. I'm like, well, I can't. I'm in traffic, so I gotta go. But, yeah, he was too busy yelling at the police. And by that time, the other kids showed up. [00:24:35] Speaker B: It's like, poor police are so worked to death. [00:24:38] Speaker A: It's. It's all the time. You're. It's every street corner. There's one. [00:24:42] Speaker B: The paperwork in the secretarial work that they're genuine, like, really expected to do. It's an army of what they should have an army of five people sitting in their car doing. And it's not. It's like it's just them is man to have patience for them. If you think they have a bad attitude, go to work with them for a day. I mean, I think I'm just so [00:25:05] Speaker A: surprised at how disrespected they are by people when they're stopped. When people are stopped by them. The way they yell at them and tell them no and they're not doing it. And they fight them and they. [00:25:15] Speaker B: They. They are just asking for problems. I mean, imagine this world without law and order. [00:25:20] Speaker A: Truly, I can't imagine. [00:25:23] Speaker B: Imagine it without law and order. [00:25:25] Speaker A: It would be. You wouldn't leave your house. [00:25:27] Speaker B: No. And there are no perfect human beings. I mean, there's. You know, there's always going to be somebody who has a worst day or. And brings it out, brings it to work, but we're all guilty of it. I know my husband looks at his job as he is providing a customer service and I think that's really what's kept him. I feel like with a good reputation among the people that he has to deal with is he does treat them with respect and he is providing a service to the city and he didn't get into it super young. I think, you know, he got into. He's lived life. He knows what it is, you know, to have hard times. And I think that makes a difference. I think sometimes people are so young when they get on, they haven't struggled yet. [00:26:09] Speaker A: Oh, that's probably true. I would not want to be a police officer though, in this day and age with the people that are out there and how they treat them. [00:26:17] Speaker B: The disrespect now, it's really sad. [00:26:20] Speaker A: So it's really too bad. [00:26:22] Speaker B: Anyways. Have you watched a movie lately? Have a good one. [00:26:25] Speaker A: I don't have any. I never watch tv. [00:26:27] Speaker B: The best movie that Ty and I just started it last night. Then I was too tired. I had to go to bed. But it's the Remarkably Bright Creatures and it's Sally. [00:26:38] Speaker A: Oh my gosh. I just watched that one. [00:26:41] Speaker B: So I. We're only halfway through it, so don't tell me. [00:26:43] Speaker A: Oh, it's the best. So we read the book in book club. [00:26:47] Speaker B: Yes. [00:26:48] Speaker A: A couple years ago. And so then when it came out on Netflix, we watched it at our last book club because we'd all read the book and the book was amazing. Okay. And then to the. The movie was. Is so good. [00:27:00] Speaker B: It's just so good. It like. Ty just finished Utopia, so we're Gonna finish reading it. So we're gonna watch Utopia coming up together. Because I heard that that was, you know, it's about golf and stuff like that. So he's excited to watch that movie. [00:27:14] Speaker A: Where are you at in the movie only? [00:27:17] Speaker B: Well, really just about the halfway point. We have another hour left. So she had already, you know, has already kind of. The octopus has lured her back into getting them to communicate and stuff like that. I have quite a bit. You can't tell me. [00:27:34] Speaker A: I'm not going to tell you anything. But it's truly. And to read the book, too, because the book is so good. And I remember it was one of the first. When I first joined this book club and that was one of the first books. And I'm like, we're really reading a book about an octopus that talks to people. [00:27:48] Speaker B: So good. [00:27:49] Speaker A: It is the best movie. And then to see Sally Field. She's so good and she's so good in the movie. But how old is she? I mean, sad to see her. [00:27:58] Speaker B: He was like, wait, isn't she. Isn't she, like, really a famous actress? [00:28:02] Speaker A: I'm like, yes. [00:28:03] Speaker B: He was like, how old is she? Well, he thought she was, like, gonna be 60. And he was shocked to find out she was 77. [00:28:08] Speaker A: And she really looks her age in there. But she does such a good job. It's such a good movie. The ending is really great. Well, but yeah, when you said that, I was like that. I haven't watched a movie. I watched it because I watched it over at the girl's house. All of the book club girls were together and we watched it. [00:28:24] Speaker B: That's a good idea. [00:28:24] Speaker A: And it was so much fun to watch together because we'd all read and then so many. It's so funny because you read so many books, no one could remember exactly. Like, I couldn't remember the ending. [00:28:33] Speaker B: Right. [00:28:34] Speaker A: Because I read the book two years ago. But then it's like, oh, that's right. It's such the best ending. It's so good. So, yeah, you'll love it. So I. You know, again, I'm always working on my sleep. Yeah. But I was watching somebody and they said, if there's. Right below your earlobe, there's sort of an indentation. If you rub that spot, it actually releases just the tension. Like, if you have a headache, like you said, you're getting a headache, you do it one at a time, one side at a time, and then you switch in. It really does. Like you. The first time I did it because you really dig in there. You do kind of feel that you're like, your neck relax. Yeah. You'll feel a knot, and that's just that tension. [00:29:14] Speaker B: Have you ever put your finger, like, right in front of your ear, in front of that little, you know, bump? You put it right there by your jaw and you press and then you open. Oh, and if that hurts, boy, that's your tmj. [00:29:25] Speaker A: Yeah, I have tmj. Anyway. [00:29:27] Speaker B: Holy cow. And yeah, let me say I have. I am do Botox in my jaws. And I. Because I clench so bad, I had a retainer to help with it, and I hated that. [00:29:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:39] Speaker B: That made my teeth hurt. [00:29:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:41] Speaker B: And like today when I woke up, I. I could barely pull my mouth apart, I was clenching so bad. And. And I will say that in your jaws to get treated for that is so helpful. [00:29:54] Speaker A: I've never done it, but I've been through. I've had so much treatment in my jaw for tmj. I've had to. Those night guards you have to sleep in. And I slung those things across the room so many times in the sleep. [00:30:05] Speaker B: Yeah, it really, really helps. [00:30:07] Speaker A: And then I want you to do this because this. I haven't done it yet, but, you know, I was talking about that neurologist. One thing he said is if you stick your tongue out for 40 seconds, it removes the cortisol faster than any pill or breathing exercise. Yeah. Just hold it out for 40 seconds. Really supposed to release all the cortisol that's in your system. It's better than any pill or breathing exercises. Wow. Something about having your tongue out that's interesting. [00:30:36] Speaker B: I know. Yeah. Because I've. I've got in my cart another bottle of that cortisol control that I like to take. Oh, yeah, Because I've been out and I'm like. [00:30:45] Speaker A: 40 seconds. It's free. You don't have to buy it. [00:30:47] Speaker B: Okay, I haven't. [00:30:48] Speaker A: I haven't tried that yet. But let me tell you something. His sleep, the. All the sleep stuff he said, it really has changed. He was at Neurologist I listened to. He's a retired neurologist, but he's online. No, I went to a. He was speaking at the Southern Hills Country Club, and I went to a dinner. [00:31:06] Speaker B: Okay. [00:31:06] Speaker A: And. But. But the sleep part of it, my average scores are 78 and 80, which is unheard of. And my REM sleep is an hour and a half. And I woke up two days ago. My rim was an hour and a half, and my deep sleep was an hour and a half, which that's where all the recovery comes from for your joints and your muscles and your brain. And so it's changed my sleep. And the biggest thing is I think of the temperature keeping the room cold. And as long as my dog is [00:31:39] Speaker B: under my legs and I keep you warm, I can sleep. [00:31:43] Speaker A: Yeah, I gotta pile the covers on because, boy, it gets cold. But I do think it's working because I'm sleeping so much better. [00:31:50] Speaker B: I have one of those, you know, those real fluffy, thick, like, blankets that look like pet hair. I mean, you know what? [00:31:58] Speaker A: Yes. [00:31:58] Speaker B: Animal hair. And they're smooth on the other side. Well, today when I took my nap, Ty was in the living room room, and I picked it up, and I just happened to put the fuzzy part on me. And he was just like, who does that? Why? Why do you have that? I'm like, because I'm too tired to flip it. And he's like. He just. He was like, who flips their blanket? He was so irritated by it. The little things will just. I'm like, why? Do you notice? Like, mind your business. So I had to flip it. He's like, flip it. Flip it right now. Wow. [00:32:28] Speaker A: I did. [00:32:29] Speaker B: I mean, he was right. It was better on the other side, but I was just too tired. Who puts the fluffy side on it? [00:32:36] Speaker A: I love a big, thick blanket, though. I got tons of those throws, and they do really help. All right, well, we're out of time. [00:32:44] Speaker B: Dokey doke. [00:32:45] Speaker A: We'll see you next week. [00:32:46] Speaker B: Adios.
