Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to Buns and Banter, a podcast by work Busties
for work Busties. Hey, I'm Lauren and I'm Ali. We're
both morning show hosts for iHeartMedia. We're both millennials, and
we're both trying to figure out how to build the
lives we dream about, dating, marriage, career, career, and being
a mom. How to get through a week without crying.
(00:25):
Welcome to Buns and Banter. We're glad you're here. That's exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh, we're just talking a little housekeeping stuff that we
want to do on the pod this year.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Places we want to go. Did it feel like it
took you? Like we're into what would this be concerned?
Like the second week of the new year? Right? Yeah?
I think so. Do you feel like it took you
a little beat? I feel much more go get them
driven this week than I did last week. I felt
like I was bob and underwater last week. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I saw a thing online that said, like, this is
the time when people usually start giving up their New
Year's resilus and I haven't even started yet.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Which is perfect because how can we give it up
if we haven't started it? We never leave room for disappointment.
I kind of love.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The idea of starting them in February, like just giving
yourself January to sort of ease into the new year,
and then like maybe starting to make some stuff happen
in February.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I told you we talked about it on our last episode,
Dry January. You got to give me a dry June
when there's nothing else to do. I think it's really
hard to start resolutions in the dead of winter, Like
it's it was seven this week, seven, dug grease. I'm
not doing anything good for myself or others in seven degrees.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
They I saw something on the news that was like
arctic blast headed our way.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
What has it been? What? I'm sorry? What what has
it been?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's been consistently with wind chills in the single digits
or below, temperatures in the teens. The highest temperature we've
seen in the last like two weeks was like twenty six.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Do you know what word makes me feel so cold? Clipper?
Clipper system? Clipper. Doesn't that make you sound like, oh,
don't walk outside, my nipples will cut your glass. Yeah,
you really gotta get that pee. I hate flipper you
to pound into that snow.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yes, it is so cold that I feel like my
water in my house doesn't heat up as much. And
now I'm starting to wonder if if everything in my
because this isn't something that I noticed the first seven
years living in my house, but just this winter, I'm
noticing that I think my shower plumbing is on an
(02:34):
outside wall, which in Michigan, I don't know about what
it's like where you live, but in Michigan that's a
big no no no plumbing in the outside wall.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I think that your pipes will freeze.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, So I'm like, is my water not heating up?
Is there something wrong with my water heater? Is it
because it's so cold out that it's just not heating
up as much? I even went down to my hot
water heater and turned up the temperature of the water. Yeah,
did you know you can do that?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I did. I have no idea how to. I'm so
impressed with you right now.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It's just like what it's like my water heaters, like
the Fisher Price of water heaters. There's just like one
little knob and it says water temperature and you can
just like they made it, Female and Company.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I bet that's what we need. Probably not, but thank
you so much, seriously, No, I just feel like, and
I know a lot of people were having the conversations
this week about what you set your thermistat out. It's
always a combo because I would rather freeze than pay
more for a bill. And it's so wild because Chris
Frickin' Chris put on a sweater, motherfire. I mean, I
(03:43):
will come home and I'm like, wow, it's so comfy
in here, and he gets so excited he goes, isn't it?
And then I'll look across the living room and I
see that thermostat said at seventy six and he messed
with it, and I'm like, sir, what do you think
we do for a living? I'm not out here, Jeff
Bezo seeing my way through life. You need. I'm a
sixty six to sixty seven girly. See I have gone up.
(04:04):
That's when I get so nervous.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Ins and outs for twenty twenty five. That's one of
my outs for twenty twenty five is just being cold
in my own.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
House, saving but being uncomfy, yes, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Like the amount of money that I'm saving is what
a couple of dollars every single week. Like I'm just
gonna pay the extra couple dollars now saving energy. You
could probably still get me on that because I do
care about Yeah, stand up for what you stand on.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Anyways. Oooh, I have a T shirt that says that
I stole it. My sister got it for me. I
love that.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
But I just I'm not gonna be cold anymore. So
now I'm a sixty nine girly.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh oh, that's that is a privilege to me like that.
There's certain days I'm like, ooh, it's a Saturday, I
want to be spending some time inside. I might, I
might sixty nine it, but that's rare. Honestly, the only
time I ever feel bad. The other night, we were
all sitting on the couch watching a movie and Sophia
climbed in under a blanket and all of her like
limbs were ice. I'm like, oh, I guess I'm to
(05:07):
sixty seven? Is your Are you not circulating blood properly?
That's the only time I've ever felt bad.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You wouldn't think that there is much of a noticeable
difference between like sixty seven and sixty eight and then
sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, there is. There is really.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Walking into my house, and maybe it's just because it's
so cold outside that like any noticeable difference just feels
so warm and cozy. But I feel like I can
tell and I'm like, it is so much nicer in here.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh, maybe I'll have to research this. Maybe that's why
I'm such a crab, a curmudgeon woman. You're cold all that.
I'm cold all the time. I'm cold, and I love
I think I brought this up. I love sitting in
a hot car in the summertime. Ooh, there is something
about that. I love being hot, dude, there is something
about that. Oh my gosh, do your feet get cold? Yeah?
(05:57):
I have terrible circulation, but you had.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I saw something on TikTok the other day. It was
an acupuncturist and she was talking about if you're a
woman and your feet are always cold, then you probably
have a cold uterus. What And I was like, pardon me,
what a cold uterus? I have no idea, Like it's
inside you, but it's cold.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
How does that even? I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
That was just like her term or if that's like
a literal thing, like you want to move to the Google.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't think you can take a temperature of a uterus.
I don't know. I don't know, but she was like, yeah,
you know, get it checked out.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
If you're a plan on having kids and you got
cold feet, you might have cold uterus.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
What wow, oh oh oh. I mean. So I'm gonna
start by saying, this is AI that pulled this term
and says it's primarily primarily used in traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. Yeah,
it says it describes a condition where the uterus is
believed to have poor blood flow, potentially impacting fertility.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Great, just another thing to add to the list of
things I lay awaken.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Not a worry about medical diagnosis in the Western hemisphere. Well,
we don't know what we're doing over here. Herbal remedies
and dietary modifications can help blood flow to the pelvic area.
Let me tell you about my algorithm on Google right now.
Speaking of pelvic area I've been having I have been
having these tummy issues. I've been telling my Girali all
(07:30):
about this, yeh, and the stuff that I've googled in
the last seven days, Like my phone must think that
I am just a trash human that should finally drop
and just go six feet under. There's so much good
that I've never had this issue with before, And I'm like,
is this late thirties? I guess I have a trouble
saying I still think I'm in my mid thirties. I
still say mid thirties. Not till April do I hit
(07:51):
late thirties. But I'll tell you, I feel like my
body is backfiring big on how I've treated it the
first thirty some years of my life. I don't know
what else we could have done. I mean, I guess
we could have worked out. I eat fruit and vegetables.
You eat fruit, I do. I think I'm pretty good
about my fruit. But I am like TMI moment on
(08:14):
the pod. You remember that doll when we were younger,
it was called the like pea pants Polly. No, maybe
that was just like my little tiny piece of nineties.
That's exactly how I feel like. If I'm going to
have something to eat, I need to be next to
a facilitate. That has been the last seven days of
my life interesting. And everybody's nervous. They were like, it's neurovirus,
(08:34):
because that's everywhere right now. It is, But I don't
feel terrible all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You know what I don't understand about neural virus is
that everything they say that, like hand sanitizer, it's very contagious. Yep,
very very contagious, and they a lot of like regular
cleaners don't kill the bacteria along with the virus.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's anti hand sanitizer.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
And hand sanitizer is supposed to ninety nine percent of germs.
I guess neurovirus is the one percent that it doesn't kill.
But you know what does kill the germs, soap and water.
Explain that to me, I can't.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Did you know you can get neurovirus from food? What?
I didn't know that either. My friend just got neurovirus.
Her doctor said she's a neuro virus yeah, and she
was like, I don't. He's like, does anyone else in
your house have it? And she said no, and he's like, okay,
try to like keep yourself away, bleach everything. She goes, then,
how had I have gotten? And he goes, well, you
can get it from food too. I'm like, everything in
(09:34):
this world is aimed to hurt us. Listen.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I really want to keep eating out at restaurants and
going places, but if y'all don't wash your hands, I'm
gonna stop coming.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Ooh I'm gonna stop coming. You know, I've had salmonella
and you have to use soap. You have to use soap.
Oh normally, it's so funny. You say that, so normal.
We teach our kids like you only say nice things
about other people, right, I'll tell you. When my son
came home the other day from first grade and pointed
out a certain kid in his class that only kind
(10:05):
of washes his hands and doesn't use soap, I was like,
that's disgusting, buddy, and you're not gonna get in trouble
for talking about it. You tell that kid man what
it takes one. It takes a little patient zero ask him.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Tell will to go back and ask that kid if
he thinks the earth is round or flat.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I just want to know. I just want to know.
Oh my god, there's seven babes. I love the use.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
There are signs, there are it's best to get out
of it, it really is.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But we're still We're still carrying on. We're still you
and I And I'm afraid to say it out loud
like it'll jink said.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
We try, We try. I really want to talk about TikTok,
but I just I don't want to doom spiral.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I you know my feeling. I think it's gonna be saved.
You don't think it's going away? Like confident enough. I
would almost place money on it. I just don't have
any money.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
If it is saved, though, do you think people will
stay on it? Because now everyone's so excited about the
Red note app, which is also a Chinese owned company,
So I don't feel like, you know, maybe another couple
of years before they try to ban that one.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yep. Yeah. And like we're pretty certain now that it
was Mark Zuckerberg who lobbied to have TikTok shut down,
like he was the one who spent all that money
to get it like axed. Like we're sure about that, right,
I think? I mean I don't looked through public records,
but right it would make sense. Nor would we, nor
would who has the time we're posting to TikTok. We're
(11:36):
in the bathroom, we're washing our hands. That's so we're busy. No,
I think it's gonna get saved. I think it's gonna
be It's gonna be part celebrity and part one of
the big like entrepreneur name people. I love TikTok. I
love it.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
It's my comfort app. It's where I go and scroll
when I have nothing to do, you know, I have
my comfort creators.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, And I just I like it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I like creating content on there because I don't feel
like I have to be as put together or as
buttoned up or you know, even as professional on TikTok.
And I feel like you really got to come with
your A game on Instagram. Facebook, I feel like, you know,
I'm like talking to my mom and like my aunts
and like my family. So I feel like I'm comfortable
(12:22):
on Facebook. But can I say that if TikTok goes away,
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
To be sad.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
But I long for a more nostalgic time when we
didn't have so many social media platforms.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Preach mm hm. I put that up on my TikTok
this week. By the way, Ash Schmidt underscore in the
mid I'm still not to the point where I can
go live because it has taken me forever to rebuild
that dang pull latform. But I just I'm exhausted. I'm
exhausted with it. It is a constant running list in my
head every single day of what have I already posted
(13:00):
to today? What do I need to post to today
and have I done enough to make that matter in
the algorithm. I don't know how social media coordinators for
a company or a business do it. Yeah, NonStop, well,
every because it's a full time job. That's fair, that's
a good point.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's a full time in my opinion, I know that
it's not treated that way in a lot of places,
like for a lot of people, they have a full
time job like marketing director or account executive or whoever,
and then they just like tack on social media to that.
In my opinion, social media director is a full time job,
and you probably should have some subordinates in a department
(13:40):
like social media should now be a department.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah. Absolutely, And I get nervous doing anything out in
public because I feel like I'm gonna get posted to
that influencers in the wild. Yes, I don't. Yes, and
we do and do that.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
We do so much stuff for work. I feel pretty
comfortable moving in a professional way, but there is something
about being on location in a place and having to
shoot social media in front of people, Yes, and especially
by myself. If I have another person there with me
to hold the camera or talk with me or do
(14:17):
something with me, I'm more comfortable. It's like us doing
social media together on location, totally different to me, I'm
way more comfortable doing that than just being totally by
myself solo at a location trying to shoot content.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I'm straight up introverted. As soon as it happens, I'm like,
oh god, everybody, yes, yeah, very cringe to me.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Somebody asked me today on the Live if I ever
get like self conscious doing the Lives because the camera
is on you twenty four to seven. It catches every
little move, and I was like, well, I've never thought
about that, but yeah, I guess now, I am what.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Did you just see that? You're what just triggered that?
I'm so sorry? Am I ever self conscious? Or the
easier answer would be when am I not self conscious
when I'm sleep? I guess even then, because I had
the most ridiculous sorry quick pivot butt dial ever I
never have like accidental butt dials. And I had just
(15:10):
gotten off the phone with one of our sales reps,
and apparently at some point during my after the show nap,
I rolled over and called them and all they heard
on the other end was my like heavy breathing and
slobbering into the speaker to the point where I jolted
away because they were yelling, are you all right? Yeah,
it's a medical emergency. That would be self conscious when
(15:33):
I sleep now as well, I would be.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I would think that there was something wrong, like maybe
you were in a place where you couldn't talk.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yep, Ben kidnapped in the trunk of a car, unable
to kick out the tail light. That's exactly where I
would go if I gotta call like that from you too. Nope,
just napping like the waal. I am amongst my comforter,
with absolutely no idea that I'd called someone so fair
to say self conscious about everything, especially TikTok in public.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
You said, comforter, you want to talk about luxury? Ooh,
I got two and I'm the same bed on the
same bed. Oh my, and I can only I can
only have both of my comforters, and I have a
Then I have a Okay, so I have my fitted sheet,
and then I feel like I'm the last millennial on
the face of the earth that uses a top sheet.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I live for a top sheet.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Jimmy gives me so much grief about the top sheet.
He doesn't use one at his house. When we're at
his house, there isn't one. It's just the fitted sheet
and the comforter and like blankets and stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Gross, you're not in college anymore. Got a top sheet?
It comes in the bag, I know. And like that's
his house, that's his space.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Like I don't really care, but I'm like, what are
we gonna do when we move in together? I think
we're just gonna have to get We're gonna have to
do that. Like where is it Sweden where they each
have like their own bed linens. They share a bed,
but they each have their own stuff. Yes, I think
we're gonna have to do that because when he's not
sleeping at my house. Fitted sheet, top sheet, blanket mm hmm,
(17:05):
comforter number one, comforter number two, Oh, blanket on top.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Dude, I would sleep over so hard at your house.
I it's like a cocoon. That's an oasis, it is.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And I don't you'd think that I would love a
weighted blanket.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, but I don't. But you like the feeling of
a couple of comforters and that kind of airy weight. Yeah,
I think that's interesting. I thought about getting a weighted blanket.
But I feel like your hack might be even better.
I got my grandma awaited blanket.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
She hated it. Pro tip they come in different weights.
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
No, I wouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You can get like a five pound weighted blanket. You
can get a ten pound weighted blanket. You can get
a fifteen pound weighted blanket. I just went and got
a weighted blanket from Target because she said she wasn't
sleeping well and I read online that that might help, yep,
and she was. She gave it back to me. She
was like, I can't do it. It's it's like it's suffocating.
(18:01):
And it was like a fifteen pound weighted blanket on
your grandma and this is like a tiny, like ninety
four year old woman. I was like, no, shit, you're
being crushed.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You're being crushed. Yeah, but they're not good for your circulation.
I have read Oh well, you know what, Like I said,
everything in the world seems to be at you right now,
So give me my weighted blanket, my cold uterus and
whatever is happening in my pelvic area, and I'm just
going to deal.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I just think you get to a certain point where
these are these are things that you just have to
live with and accept.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Now this positive podcast, Brodie thought the calm app or
something that's really I don't like to hear. I don't
like to know what could be happening with your body,
Like I said the stuff I googled. I'm either not
drinking any water at all, or I have a stomach tumor. Yeah,
(18:59):
so I've left you of my things. If that's the case. Oh,
thank don on a little loose leave piece of paper.
You bequeathed me. I bequeathed you, yank you. Oh my god,
I'm leave you my comforters too. You can be sleeping
like five deep, babe. Oh my god, Oh my god,
talk about the dream. Do I have the gall to
do one more? I believe in you? Oh? I feel
(19:21):
like that would be too much. I would be too hot.
I want to stuckle right in there. See and then
you can lower your thermostat to my wonderful sixty six.
Save money. Honey, you're twenty twenty five. Just became the
most successful moment of your life. Everything's coming up aally
Mac these days,
Welcome to Buns and Banter, a podcast by work Busties
for work Busties. Hey, I'm Lauren and I'm Ali. We're
both morning show hosts for iHeartMedia. We're both millennials, and
we're both trying to figure out how to build the
lives we dream about, dating, marriage, career, career, and being
a mom. How to get through a week without crying.
(00:25):
Welcome to Buns and Banter. We're glad you're here. That's exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh, we're just talking a little housekeeping stuff that we
want to do on the pod this year.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Places we want to go. Did it feel like it
took you? Like we're into what would this be concerned?
Like the second week of the new year? Right? Yeah?
I think so. Do you feel like it took you
a little beat? I feel much more go get them
driven this week than I did last week. I felt
like I was bob and underwater last week. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I saw a thing online that said, like, this is
the time when people usually start giving up their New
Year's resilus and I haven't even started yet.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Which is perfect because how can we give it up
if we haven't started it? We never leave room for disappointment.
I kind of love.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The idea of starting them in February, like just giving
yourself January to sort of ease into the new year,
and then like maybe starting to make some stuff happen
in February.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I told you we talked about it on our last episode,
Dry January. You got to give me a dry June
when there's nothing else to do. I think it's really
hard to start resolutions in the dead of winter, Like
it's it was seven this week, seven, dug grease. I'm
not doing anything good for myself or others in seven degrees.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
They I saw something on the news that was like
arctic blast headed our way.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
What has it been? What? I'm sorry? What what has
it been?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's been consistently with wind chills in the single digits
or below, temperatures in the teens. The highest temperature we've
seen in the last like two weeks was like twenty six.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Do you know what word makes me feel so cold? Clipper?
Clipper system? Clipper. Doesn't that make you sound like, oh,
don't walk outside, my nipples will cut your glass. Yeah,
you really gotta get that pee. I hate flipper you
to pound into that snow.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yes, it is so cold that I feel like my
water in my house doesn't heat up as much. And
now I'm starting to wonder if if everything in my
because this isn't something that I noticed the first seven
years living in my house, but just this winter, I'm
noticing that I think my shower plumbing is on an
(02:34):
outside wall, which in Michigan, I don't know about what
it's like where you live, but in Michigan that's a
big no no no plumbing in the outside wall.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I think that your pipes will freeze.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, So I'm like, is my water not heating up?
Is there something wrong with my water heater? Is it
because it's so cold out that it's just not heating
up as much? I even went down to my hot
water heater and turned up the temperature of the water. Yeah,
did you know you can do that?
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I did. I have no idea how to. I'm so
impressed with you right now.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
It's just like what it's like my water heaters, like
the Fisher Price of water heaters. There's just like one
little knob and it says water temperature and you can
just like they made it, Female and Company.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I bet that's what we need. Probably not, but thank
you so much, seriously, No, I just feel like, and
I know a lot of people were having the conversations
this week about what you set your thermistat out. It's
always a combo because I would rather freeze than pay
more for a bill. And it's so wild because Chris
Frickin' Chris put on a sweater, motherfire. I mean, I
(03:43):
will come home and I'm like, wow, it's so comfy
in here, and he gets so excited he goes, isn't it?
And then I'll look across the living room and I
see that thermostat said at seventy six and he messed
with it, and I'm like, sir, what do you think
we do for a living? I'm not out here, Jeff
Bezo seeing my way through life. You need. I'm a
sixty six to sixty seven girly. See I have gone up.
(04:04):
That's when I get so nervous.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Ins and outs for twenty twenty five. That's one of
my outs for twenty twenty five is just being cold
in my own.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
House, saving but being uncomfy, yes, all right.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Like the amount of money that I'm saving is what
a couple of dollars every single week. Like I'm just
gonna pay the extra couple dollars now saving energy. You
could probably still get me on that because I do
care about Yeah, stand up for what you stand on.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Anyways. Oooh, I have a T shirt that says that
I stole it. My sister got it for me. I
love that.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
But I just I'm not gonna be cold anymore. So
now I'm a sixty nine girly.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Oh oh, that's that is a privilege to me like that.
There's certain days I'm like, ooh, it's a Saturday, I
want to be spending some time inside. I might, I
might sixty nine it, but that's rare. Honestly, the only
time I ever feel bad. The other night, we were
all sitting on the couch watching a movie and Sophia
climbed in under a blanket and all of her like
limbs were ice. I'm like, oh, I guess I'm to
(05:07):
sixty seven? Is your Are you not circulating blood properly?
That's the only time I've ever felt bad.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You wouldn't think that there is much of a noticeable
difference between like sixty seven and sixty eight and then
sixty nine.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, there is. There is really.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Walking into my house, and maybe it's just because it's
so cold outside that like any noticeable difference just feels
so warm and cozy. But I feel like I can
tell and I'm like, it is so much nicer in here.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh, maybe I'll have to research this. Maybe that's why
I'm such a crab, a curmudgeon woman. You're cold all that.
I'm cold all the time. I'm cold, and I love
I think I brought this up. I love sitting in
a hot car in the summertime. Ooh, there is something
about that. I love being hot, dude, there is something
about that. Oh my gosh, do your feet get cold? Yeah?
(05:57):
I have terrible circulation, but you had.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I saw something on TikTok the other day. It was
an acupuncturist and she was talking about if you're a
woman and your feet are always cold, then you probably
have a cold uterus. What And I was like, pardon me,
what a cold uterus? I have no idea, Like it's
inside you, but it's cold.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
How does that even? I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
That was just like her term or if that's like
a literal thing, like you want to move to the Google.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't think you can take a temperature of a uterus.
I don't know. I don't know, but she was like, yeah,
you know, get it checked out.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
If you're a plan on having kids and you got
cold feet, you might have cold uterus.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
What wow, oh oh oh. I mean. So I'm gonna
start by saying, this is AI that pulled this term
and says it's primarily primarily used in traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. Yeah,
it says it describes a condition where the uterus is
believed to have poor blood flow, potentially impacting fertility.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Great, just another thing to add to the list of
things I lay awaken.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Not a worry about medical diagnosis in the Western hemisphere. Well,
we don't know what we're doing over here. Herbal remedies
and dietary modifications can help blood flow to the pelvic area.
Let me tell you about my algorithm on Google right now.
Speaking of pelvic area I've been having I have been
having these tummy issues. I've been telling my Girali all
(07:30):
about this, yeh, and the stuff that I've googled in
the last seven days, Like my phone must think that
I am just a trash human that should finally drop
and just go six feet under. There's so much good
that I've never had this issue with before, And I'm like,
is this late thirties? I guess I have a trouble
saying I still think I'm in my mid thirties. I
still say mid thirties. Not till April do I hit
(07:51):
late thirties. But I'll tell you, I feel like my
body is backfiring big on how I've treated it the
first thirty some years of my life. I don't know
what else we could have done. I mean, I guess
we could have worked out. I eat fruit and vegetables.
You eat fruit, I do. I think I'm pretty good
about my fruit. But I am like TMI moment on
(08:14):
the pod. You remember that doll when we were younger,
it was called the like pea pants Polly. No, maybe
that was just like my little tiny piece of nineties.
That's exactly how I feel like. If I'm going to
have something to eat, I need to be next to
a facilitate. That has been the last seven days of
my life interesting. And everybody's nervous. They were like, it's neurovirus,
(08:34):
because that's everywhere right now. It is, But I don't
feel terrible all the time.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
You know what I don't understand about neural virus is
that everything they say that, like hand sanitizer, it's very contagious. Yep,
very very contagious, and they a lot of like regular
cleaners don't kill the bacteria along with the virus.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It's anti hand sanitizer.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
And hand sanitizer is supposed to ninety nine percent of germs.
I guess neurovirus is the one percent that it doesn't kill.
But you know what does kill the germs, soap and water.
Explain that to me, I can't.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Did you know you can get neurovirus from food? What?
I didn't know that either. My friend just got neurovirus.
Her doctor said she's a neuro virus yeah, and she
was like, I don't. He's like, does anyone else in
your house have it? And she said no, and he's like, okay,
try to like keep yourself away, bleach everything. She goes, then,
how had I have gotten? And he goes, well, you
can get it from food too. I'm like, everything in
(09:34):
this world is aimed to hurt us. Listen.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I really want to keep eating out at restaurants and
going places, but if y'all don't wash your hands, I'm
gonna stop coming.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Ooh I'm gonna stop coming. You know, I've had salmonella
and you have to use soap. You have to use soap.
Oh normally, it's so funny. You say that, so normal.
We teach our kids like you only say nice things
about other people, right, I'll tell you. When my son
came home the other day from first grade and pointed
out a certain kid in his class that only kind
(10:05):
of washes his hands and doesn't use soap, I was like,
that's disgusting, buddy, and you're not gonna get in trouble
for talking about it. You tell that kid man what
it takes one. It takes a little patient zero ask him.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Tell will to go back and ask that kid if
he thinks the earth is round or flat.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I just want to know. I just want to know.
Oh my god, there's seven babes. I love the use.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
There are signs, there are it's best to get out
of it, it really is.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
But we're still We're still carrying on. We're still you
and I And I'm afraid to say it out loud
like it'll jink said.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
We try, We try. I really want to talk about TikTok,
but I just I don't want to doom spiral.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I you know my feeling. I think it's gonna be saved.
You don't think it's going away? Like confident enough. I
would almost place money on it. I just don't have
any money.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
If it is saved, though, do you think people will
stay on it? Because now everyone's so excited about the
Red note app, which is also a Chinese owned company,
So I don't feel like, you know, maybe another couple
of years before they try to ban that one.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yep. Yeah. And like we're pretty certain now that it
was Mark Zuckerberg who lobbied to have TikTok shut down,
like he was the one who spent all that money
to get it like axed. Like we're sure about that, right,
I think? I mean I don't looked through public records,
but right it would make sense. Nor would we, nor
would who has the time we're posting to TikTok. We're
(11:36):
in the bathroom, we're washing our hands. That's so we're busy. No,
I think it's gonna get saved. I think it's gonna
be It's gonna be part celebrity and part one of
the big like entrepreneur name people. I love TikTok. I
love it.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
It's my comfort app. It's where I go and scroll
when I have nothing to do, you know, I have
my comfort creators.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, And I just I like it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I like creating content on there because I don't feel
like I have to be as put together or as
buttoned up or you know, even as professional on TikTok.
And I feel like you really got to come with
your A game on Instagram. Facebook, I feel like, you know,
I'm like talking to my mom and like my aunts
and like my family. So I feel like I'm comfortable
(12:22):
on Facebook. But can I say that if TikTok goes away,
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
To be sad.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
But I long for a more nostalgic time when we
didn't have so many social media platforms.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Preach mm hm. I put that up on my TikTok
this week. By the way, Ash Schmidt underscore in the
mid I'm still not to the point where I can
go live because it has taken me forever to rebuild
that dang pull latform. But I just I'm exhausted. I'm
exhausted with it. It is a constant running list in my
head every single day of what have I already posted
(13:00):
to today? What do I need to post to today
and have I done enough to make that matter in
the algorithm. I don't know how social media coordinators for
a company or a business do it. Yeah, NonStop, well,
every because it's a full time job. That's fair, that's
a good point.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's a full time in my opinion, I know that
it's not treated that way in a lot of places,
like for a lot of people, they have a full
time job like marketing director or account executive or whoever,
and then they just like tack on social media to that.
In my opinion, social media director is a full time job,
and you probably should have some subordinates in a department
(13:40):
like social media should now be a department.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah. Absolutely, And I get nervous doing anything out in
public because I feel like I'm gonna get posted to
that influencers in the wild. Yes, I don't. Yes, and
we do and do that.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
We do so much stuff for work. I feel pretty
comfortable moving in a professional way, but there is something
about being on location in a place and having to
shoot social media in front of people, Yes, and especially
by myself. If I have another person there with me
to hold the camera or talk with me or do
(14:17):
something with me, I'm more comfortable. It's like us doing
social media together on location, totally different to me, I'm
way more comfortable doing that than just being totally by
myself solo at a location trying to shoot content.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I'm straight up introverted. As soon as it happens, I'm like,
oh god, everybody, yes, yeah, very cringe to me.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Somebody asked me today on the Live if I ever
get like self conscious doing the Lives because the camera
is on you twenty four to seven. It catches every
little move, and I was like, well, I've never thought
about that, but yeah, I guess now, I am what.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Did you just see that? You're what just triggered that?
I'm so sorry? Am I ever self conscious? Or the
easier answer would be when am I not self conscious
when I'm sleep? I guess even then, because I had
the most ridiculous sorry quick pivot butt dial ever I
never have like accidental butt dials. And I had just
(15:10):
gotten off the phone with one of our sales reps,
and apparently at some point during my after the show nap,
I rolled over and called them and all they heard
on the other end was my like heavy breathing and
slobbering into the speaker to the point where I jolted
away because they were yelling, are you all right? Yeah,
it's a medical emergency. That would be self conscious when
(15:33):
I sleep now as well, I would be.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I would think that there was something wrong, like maybe
you were in a place where you couldn't talk.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yep, Ben kidnapped in the trunk of a car, unable
to kick out the tail light. That's exactly where I
would go if I gotta call like that from you too. Nope,
just napping like the waal. I am amongst my comforter,
with absolutely no idea that I'd called someone so fair
to say self conscious about everything, especially TikTok in public.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
You said, comforter, you want to talk about luxury? Ooh,
I got two and I'm the same bed on the
same bed. Oh my, and I can only I can
only have both of my comforters, and I have a
Then I have a Okay, so I have my fitted sheet,
and then I feel like I'm the last millennial on
the face of the earth that uses a top sheet.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I live for a top sheet.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Jimmy gives me so much grief about the top sheet.
He doesn't use one at his house. When we're at
his house, there isn't one. It's just the fitted sheet
and the comforter and like blankets and stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Gross, you're not in college anymore. Got a top sheet?
It comes in the bag, I know. And like that's
his house, that's his space.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Like I don't really care, but I'm like, what are
we gonna do when we move in together? I think
we're just gonna have to get We're gonna have to
do that. Like where is it Sweden where they each
have like their own bed linens. They share a bed,
but they each have their own stuff. Yes, I think
we're gonna have to do that because when he's not
sleeping at my house. Fitted sheet, top sheet, blanket mm hmm,
(17:05):
comforter number one, comforter number two, Oh, blanket on top.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Dude, I would sleep over so hard at your house.
I it's like a cocoon. That's an oasis, it is.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
And I don't you'd think that I would love a
weighted blanket.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, but I don't. But you like the feeling of
a couple of comforters and that kind of airy weight. Yeah,
I think that's interesting. I thought about getting a weighted blanket.
But I feel like your hack might be even better.
I got my grandma awaited blanket.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
She hated it. Pro tip they come in different weights.
Oh I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
No, I wouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You can get like a five pound weighted blanket. You
can get a ten pound weighted blanket. You can get
a fifteen pound weighted blanket. I just went and got
a weighted blanket from Target because she said she wasn't
sleeping well and I read online that that might help, yep,
and she was. She gave it back to me. She
was like, I can't do it. It's it's like it's suffocating.
(18:01):
And it was like a fifteen pound weighted blanket on
your grandma and this is like a tiny, like ninety
four year old woman. I was like, no, shit, you're
being crushed.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You're being crushed. Yeah, but they're not good for your circulation.
I have read Oh well, you know what, Like I said,
everything in the world seems to be at you right now,
So give me my weighted blanket, my cold uterus and
whatever is happening in my pelvic area, and I'm just
going to deal.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I just think you get to a certain point where
these are these are things that you just have to
live with and accept.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Now this positive podcast, Brodie thought the calm app or
something that's really I don't like to hear. I don't
like to know what could be happening with your body,
Like I said the stuff I googled. I'm either not
drinking any water at all, or I have a stomach tumor. Yeah,
(18:59):
so I've left you of my things. If that's the case. Oh,
thank don on a little loose leave piece of paper.
You bequeathed me. I bequeathed you, yank you. Oh my god,
I'm leave you my comforters too. You can be sleeping
like five deep, babe. Oh my god, Oh my god,
talk about the dream. Do I have the gall to
do one more? I believe in you? Oh? I feel
(19:21):
like that would be too much. I would be too hot.
I want to stuckle right in there. See and then
you can lower your thermostat to my wonderful sixty six.
Save money. Honey, you're twenty twenty five. Just became the
most successful moment of your life. Everything's coming up aally
