(00:02):
Hype was out of control. Thisis with Elizabethany and Zach and I have
a surrogacy update to get our showstarted here, don't raided. I love
these surrogacy updates because it's been quitethe journey for you so far. It's
(00:23):
been almost a year and a halfsince I announced that I wanted to have
a baby via surrogate because of mentalthings. Yeah, and um, we
really hoped that the I call itthe impregnation the but it's called the transfer.
The transfer sounds much better than theimpregnation, right, my one embryo.
(00:43):
We're hoping to do that in twoweeks. But it turns out we
are learning so much about this wholeprocess. Um, and there's still so
much more to do before we cando that. We have the lawyers set
up, but we still have toget the contracts actually signed. Okay,
And and it turns out she hasto take the medication like birth control and
then shots and all that for eightweeks before she has to take birth control.
(01:08):
Yeah, it's very odd. Itlike regulates you before they control you.
Basically that makes sense actually, Buteven if she's regular, they still
have to do it and then afterthat. So now we're actually looking at
mid July as being gosh, theactual when we get somebody pregnant. I
(01:30):
actually like that it's taking longer foryou because now it gives me time to
plan to be there. Yeah,like, because I want to be there
holding your hand as they're like impregnatingthis woman. Here's the thing, I'm
not going to be there. Wait, why you don't want to be there?
Why this is happening? That's soweird. Like I don't want to
go into a room where she's spreadeagle and they're putting something inside of her.
That's I mean, if she asksme to be but I already told
(01:53):
her the whole reason I'm not havingbabies because I'm terrified of doctors in hospitals
and things like that. So I'mnot going to pay somebody a ton of
money just for me to be thereand witness it. That's true. So
at least we can hang out andhave like Marga Rita's for celebration. Yes,
and then she'll come out of thedoctor's office, we'll high five and
(02:13):
go our separate ways. Perfect.Oh my god. If you I've never
heard me talk about this, bythe way, we've had past episodes of
this show. You can listen toour podcast at the Hype with Elizabethany and
Zach or if i'd me online atElizabethany. I'm happy. I'm an open
book about this and all the thingsthat I'm learning along the way. It's
a lot so far. There isa website or I don't even know what
(02:36):
to call it, search engine whatever, where you can upload photos of yourself
and then it'll tell you everywhere thatyou exist on the Internet. Not that
specific photo, but your face ingeneral. I'm absolutely horrified of what these
results are going to bring up.Yeah, so I need you to look
up yours while I tell you aboutmine, because I already did this.
But it's pim Eyes pimiyes dot com. I am shocked and also excited that
(03:02):
I exist on celebrity feet. Wait, why is your face on celebrity feet?
I don't know, because I thinkthey upload like who you are and
then post all your feet picks aswell. Wait, that is an honor,
but creepy. I know. Iam also on and these are old
photos. I'm kind of scared toclick and look at the forum or whatever.
(03:24):
But I'm apparently on a forum too. It's hot x girls duc.
Oh my god, elizabethany what haveyou done in your life? I mean,
and all of these are such innocentphotos I've done, like more risk
a photos that I put on theinternet, but ones that I can see
that they're using pretty innocent. Andthen I have like MTV of course iHeartRadio
(03:45):
things like that. Did you getyour results? I did so one of
them. Fun fact, I gotengaged in a Kelly Clarkson music video.
So both of the images are mein the Kelly Clarkson music video showing like
my engagement ring. Wait, we'veI've been talking about you getting wanting to
get engaged to David. Were youguys engaged before? No, that was
too a different dude. You'll winsome, you lose some, you know.
(04:08):
Okay, we're gonna need that storyat another time. This one I
thought was interesting. I'm on Amazon, what like the stock photo of me?
So it's the very first time thatI modeled for Abercrombie and Fitch is
like in like picture frames for saleon Amazon. Oh my god. I've
always wondered if somebody who was ina frame or something like that would be
(04:30):
recognized, like, hey, Irecognize you from somewhere. Well, probably
a photo frame. Yeah, it'sa it's just in a picture frame,
so you can buy the picture frame, but my stock image is in the
middle of it on Amazon and that'sfun. I'm buying that frame, keep
the picture in it, and thenthe rest of them are mostly just on
like iHeartRadio and station events. SoI'm pleasantly surprised that there's not worse things
(04:51):
on the internet about me. Yeah, but it's wilder, like we exist
in so many more places than wethought. Yeah, this pumped up my
ego. I'm not gonna lie.If you want to check it out pim
pimiyes dot com. Here's this youneed to know with Elizabethany and Zach what
is the most important thing you've seenthis week? So, if you have
(05:12):
Facebook, you could be getting moneyfrom a Facebook settlement and this is exactly
how it feels. Stick it tothe man. Yeah. So basically,
Facebook was under these allegations that theyshared users information without their permission back in
twenty eighteen. So if you've hadFacebook from two thousand and seven to twenty
twenty two or anytime in between,you can actually file a claim online because
(05:34):
there's been a seven hundred and twentyfive million dollars settlement with this company.
So now you can file out aclaim online and be like, hey,
here's my information, and if itturns out that they did sell your information,
you can be part of that settlementand get some money. But only
if they sold my information. Yes, how much am I going to get?
Well, probably enough to buy likea cup of coffee, gaming that
(05:57):
counts that. I mean free coffee. It's free coffee. Some celebrity news
from this week. First of all, tomar Hamlin, well, I guess
that's sports news. Who of theBuffalo Bills who collapsed on the field this
year, they have one percent clearto him to go back to football,
saying that it was such a freakaccident he is no more at risk for
it now than he was at thatmoment. Okay, good for him.
That's actually really cool to hear becauseit's been such a short time I feels,
(06:19):
I know, and it's super exciting. And then Michelle Obama was on
Jimmy Fallon and I just love howreal she is. My favorite People are
talking about different parts of this interviewthat they weren't invited back to the White
House whatever. My favorite part wasthat the Sasha and Malia are living in
an apartment together. Yeah, andthey asked if she had gone to visit,
(06:41):
if her and Baracca had gone tovisit. She's like, one time.
Obviously, when we are your parents, you don't want us coming to
visit. But they went one time, and the girls made them cocktails,
and the girls made them really reallybad martini's with fake vermouth that they drank
out of tumbler cups. I lovethat. That's such like a college experience.
I know, it's so perfect.Did you see that there's going to
(07:02):
be a new Twilight TV series?So I guess there, you know,
like they had the Harry Potter HBOseries. Now there's a Twilight series in
the works. Apparently it's still inthe early stages, but author Stephanie Meyer
is expected to be involved in thisTV series of Twilight. It's just too
soon to redo some of these things. There's no need to do it now.
(07:25):
I didn't like Twilight as a movie. What makes you think I'm going
to watch it on TV as aseries? Right? I love Coachella Weekends,
not because I went there one time. I don't ever need to go
back. I love looking at thefashion because I think it tells us so
much about what people are going towear this summer. Agreed, it's so
fun. Yes, So the biggestthemes are space cowboy. Okay, they
(07:46):
have a horse ride a cowboy,yes, like metallocky but cowboy boots.
But you know, with the sequinsand stuff. I feel like Lil nas
X was way ahead on this trend. Okay, and then also that's true
and then also go so we're talkingthe bell bottoms, we're talking the retro
kind of vibe. I'm actually surprisedthat the two thousands vibe was really not
(08:09):
represented as much. Yeah, alot of people are liking retro, but
maybe they're just doing like a modernizedmetro. Yeah, retro, it's almost
more seventies because they're also doing alot of bohemian stuff. So lots and
lots of white for this summer.Cute. I'm excited to go shopping.
Now, you saw a trend offace stuff. Yeah, there's this like
(08:30):
holistic person on TikTok that's saying thatthis is what she does get rid of
her acne. She's saying that shesmears her face with beef fat, that
it's helped her with her acne.But now there's a lot of dermatologists that
are saying, like, hey,maybe you should and do this because it's
super thick and it'll actually end upclogging your pores and it's super acidic,
so it could actually end up burningyour skin. Yeah, nothing about that
(08:52):
sounds good at all. And also, what is beef fat? Like?
I was like, do you justbuy a jar of beef fat from Amazon?
Or do you like ground your groundlike brown your ground beef and just
pour the fat into a can andsmear it on your face. I don't
know how you get the beef fat. No, I'm gonna pass on that
one. I used to say thatI would try anything the Internet told me
(09:13):
too, I pass. I'm poundinganymore. And McDonald's they are now going
to be serving their big Max saucein a little cup. You can get
it as a dipping sauce. Thismakes me so happy. As soon as
you said that, my mouth startedsalivating thinking about dipping French fries in it.
Sauce is what gets me always.I'm a big sauce man, So
yes, saucy. Wonder if they'llstart selling it at the grocery store like
(09:35):
they dude Chick fil a sauce,although then it's really just thousand Island dressed.
Any yeah. Fair. So Iwas at a bar last night with
one of my brother's best friends,and he is single. He is very
attractive, but he never talks togirls. Why is he like shy?
I think he just like doesn't knowwhere to start whatever. But then I
went into this whole deep dive intomy brain and realize some things. Okay,
(09:58):
first of all, I had toteach him about body language at a
bar. You know, if you'reif you're out at a bar and you
want to meet people, there's somethingabout you that is turning outwards. Yeah,
you can't have your like you're backto the crowd. You have to
be turned out a little bit,even if it's your feet, even if
it's one shoulder, something is pointedout. But if you only want to
be talking to your friends or leftalone at the bar, then you that
(10:20):
is it. That's where every partof your body is is facing. I
taught him that, and he wasvery excited to maybe look for girls that
had their feet out, but ofcourse none that did he was attracted to,
which is annoying. Yeah, andthen I also realized that especially I
don't know that this works for yourcommunity, but or is whatever true for
(10:41):
your community. But us girls havecompletely ruined men from buying us strengths because
all we've ever done is talking abouthow creepy it is and how we don't
want guys to buy us drinks becausethen we're obligated to talk to them.
So now nobody wants to be acreep they're not going to buy it for
us. That and I think alot of like women are scared that they're
going to put something in it thatthey're like, Nope, not going to
take a drink from a dude.But then girls I talked to were like,
(11:05):
nobody buying me drinks anymore. Well, because we ruined it. You
did ruin it. Honestly, Iwould agree with that one too. So
now we got to retrain people,the nice people to help a sister out
or somebody. But there's a littletips. I think those tips work for
pretty much anyone out looking to mingle. I think he should take me with
him next time. I am anexcellent wingman. Women love a fabulous gay
(11:26):
man. I can start a conversationwith the wall. That's fact. We'll
make that happen done. I'm realizingthat this show. I'm just like having
a lot of really deep thoughts thisweek. You are you okay? No?
Did you go to therapy this week? No? And I probably need
it. I probably welcome to therapy. Oh my god. But I was
thinking about all my friends who arekind of shamed in being parents, like
(11:48):
the little things that they do.They're so worried about doing something wrong.
Yeah. So you and I weretalking, and I think the best thing
to do is to have people callin and tell us the things they've done
that made them feel like a badparent or would make other people shame them
for doing so. Yeah, Ifeel like we can at least all come
together and feel better about ourselves.Right. Like my best friend she tells
(12:11):
me all the time all these crazystories about her son because both her and
her husband are introverts. Both ofher kids are extroverts. They're insane that
I love it. It makes meso happy. But if he's like if
her son staring a tantrum, shejust sits in the room and lets him
break everything in the room. AndI think that's perfectly fine parenting. I
(12:31):
mean, sometimes you need a rageroom. Oh my god. Facts.
But other people would probably be like, you need to get your kid under
control. Yeah, I agree.Listen, everybody makes some weird decisions.
Let's hear from you. Okay.So my toddler at two and a half
years old, would not stop biting. I know there's that's an issue,
(12:52):
you know. So I asked myfriend, my adult friend, if she
would bite him back, you know, to to show that it was wrong.
Okay, she did. She did, and you know what, you
know what, he's never been again. I am not lying you did you?
(13:13):
Why were you not the biter back? Because because if he bit her
and then she bit back, Ithought at first that you were just like
sitting there and you brought your friendover and I was like, hey,
go bite my song. No,okay, here's the thing. I feel
like that's not really that bad ofan idea, especially if it works.
But like, toddlers are kind oflike puppies, you know, they make
(13:37):
like spray, like the apple cidervinegar spray that you can spray on things
so that he won't want to biteanymore. I didn't know that that would
probably be another bad parent idea,but you know what, whatever works for
your kid, you do it anddon't let anybody tell you otherwise. Okay,
thank you. How about you?What bad parenting do you want to
confess? You said you have beentaking your kid to swim lessons. We
(14:00):
were out of a public pool andhe still likes to be held while we're
in the pool, and so Idecided to, hey, let's put these
swim lessons to use. Well,so all of a sudden, I like
let go to him and sort oflike wade over to the side of the
pool and tell him to swim over. And he was. But as he
was swimming, he was scared andyelling like get me, get me,
and he was like crying by something. He got over to me like he
(14:24):
did he swim He did it successfully, but he was just bawling his eyes
out and all it was just apublic pool and all the other parents are
staring daggers at me. I thinkthat's a great parent move. Actually,
I think drowning a little bit isa rite of passage for a child.
It's just like you're going to falloff your bike and skim your knees and
then you're going to learn how toride it. I'm glad to hear at
(14:45):
least you agree. Yeah, I'mlike, I'm somewhat on the same page
of like that's how my mom taughtme to swim, Like we went to
swim lessons and then either crap orget off the pot, like figure out
what you're gonna do. It's notmy fault. You won't let me see
a note that our boss wrote toyou because I can't tell if it's like
creepy or sweet. So his actuallyit's my boss's son, all right,
(15:07):
left it here at work for me, and I was like, is this
like super cute or really creepy.I gotta tell you I had a creepy
kids situation the other day too,So we'll talk about that in a second.
Okay, So you want me toread you Yeah, it says so
his name is Jackson, he issix years old, and he left a
note here at worked for me thatsays from Jackson to Zach, I love
(15:31):
you. I am here. Youwon't forget. That is like a little
bit maniacal at the end, likeyou won't forget. So I came into
work and I was like, whatdid he do to my desk? Did
he pee in the corner? Likewhat am I not going to forget about
him being here hopefully that Wow,okay, that's It's kind of wild how
similar that is too. I wasat an event and one little girl,
(15:54):
I think maybe about six five,she kept saying she was like, loved
me and was going to remember meforever. And I was like, well,
how are you going to remember meforever? We haven't taken a photo.
She said, I'm going to drawyou every day for the rest of
my life. That's like an honoredbut still really creepy, the creepiest.
I think both of them are creepy. I think obviously kids mean the best.
(16:17):
Yeah, I feel like it wasgood intentions. But let's also keep
an eye on these two in thefuture as they move on in life.
Yeah. I've gone through my entireoffice looking for something wrong, probably a
turd somewhere. We are both ina very long term, committed relationships.
That is factual. I'd like tothink we both think they're good relationships for
me outside of this whole moving fiasco. We're green. Moving really brings out
(16:42):
the worse than people. Oh mygod, So I found this list.
A psychiatrist says the strongest couples willsay these things to each other every day.
Okay, I appreciate your effort.I say that in a way like
I'll say, hey, thank youfor doing in the dishes or thank you
for doing that same. Of course, I love you helps but I like
(17:06):
you. I never say I likeyou. I don't either, but it
is very different than I love you, and I think I need to start
saying that more. I feel likeI would be offended if my boyfriend looked
at me and was like, hey, I like you, I'd like,
you don't love me anymore. Butit's like or it's like I like how
you do that? Or I likeyou know, its just like saying something
(17:26):
that they like. I'd say thatafter BOUCHI I like how you did that?
Dude? That again amazing? Helpme better understand? Okay, So
this is perfect for when you're inan argument. I absolutely need to start
saying this more because I'm always soconfused about what my husband's trying to say
(17:47):
and I'm just like what. Yeah. I feel like we kind of do
it because when we get in anargument or we're like ranting about something,
we'll be like, do you wantadvice or do you want to be heard
right now? Yeah? Okay,that's good too, But saying that you
want to better understand and that youneed help it makes them feel like,
okay, you know that they're thehero, makes them feel validated and heard.
(18:07):
Yes, you want to say sorry, And also I forgive. I
never say I forgive me neither.I always say I am so sorry.
I apologize. Now let's move forward, because I will never forgive right.
Also, I'm committed to you.I feel like that is an under like
just automatically understood. I said,vows like I'm stuck whether I want to
(18:30):
be here or not. Yeah,Like, what do you think that's ring
on my finger is doing? Right? But I do think it is.
Maybe not every day, but Ido think that would be kind of nice
to hear every week every other week, just like, hey, I'm committed
to making sure we're talking this outand being on the same page. That
makes me feel like there's like troubleand paradise. If you have to come
(18:52):
to me and be like, hey, honey, I'm committed to you and
be like, so what did youdo to make me think you weren't okay?
And so you want to say I'mlistening, Okay. I appreciate that
one yeah, and that's actually thefinal one. But letting them know that
you actually you're hearing what they're saying, You're paying attention. I feel like
(19:12):
after this little survey thing, we'redoing pretty good. Yeah mostly I think
I hit like five out of nine. Okay, you're over fifty. Yeah
on a good name. So we'retrying. But it is a good refresher
to be like, Okay, thisis how I can. I think that
love languages, you know, Ido all the love languages, but no,
(19:33):
sometimes words just got to be said. Yeah. Time, do you
wrap things up with the happy ending? Everybody's favorite way to end things?
Amen, sister. Okay, I'mgonna go first today. And I love
this couple who during the pandemic,one guy was like, I'm bored,
I'm going to marry a stranger onTikTok okay, because why not? So
(19:55):
he posts it. A bunch ofpeople respond. This other girl happens to
fall upon the TikTok and applies,and both of them go meet in Vegas
get married, assuming they're going toannul it in a week, yeah,
I would assume. So they bothadmit that they would never have talked to
each other in a bar that they'renot really that attracted whatever. Now they
(20:15):
never got annulled. They're two yearsinto their marriage and they're the cute as
ever. This is like a reallife situation of love is blind. Yes,
And I also feel like this isa sign that you should always go
for your gut idea. People getideas all the time, and you might
push it off or you might notdo it because you might think it's silly.
Execute the idea. Yeah, execute, I love that, Okay,
(20:38):
So I love this. It happenedin Atlanta. Amazon. The company has
decided to kind of target students andundeserved and historically underrepresented underrepresented communities. So
they have awarded twenty one Atlanta studentswith forty thousand dollars scholarships to future engineer
scholarships so that they can pursue theireducation in the different STEM field. So
(21:02):
that's a total of eight hundred andforty thousand dollars in scholarships in Georgia for
these underrepresented communities. And I'm like, that makes me so happy because these
kids may have not ever been ableto afford to go to school for something
like this, and they're going tobe great in their future. Careers all
because they got gifted this scholarship.Yeah, that's beautiful giving people money,
(21:22):
especially when people have too much ofit. Just give it away to people
who needed. I mean, Ifeel partially responsible in this because I order
so much from Amazon. Yeah thatI technically gave them some money too.
Hey, I like that. Keepthat. That is our happy ending.
You can hear more of the show. I had a Zurgacy update. We
also talked about a creepy note thatZach got from our boss's kid. Yeah,
(21:45):
and some bad parenting. All ofit will be on the podcast.
Search for the Hype with Elizabethany andZach. Find me online Addie Elizabethany and
mine is just at Zach Woodward
Hype was out of control. Thisis with Elizabethany and Zach and I have
a surrogacy update to get our showstarted here, don't raided. I love
these surrogacy updates because it's been quitethe journey for you so far. It's
(00:23):
been almost a year and a halfsince I announced that I wanted to have
a baby via surrogate because of mentalthings. Yeah, and um, we
really hoped that the I call itthe impregnation the but it's called the transfer.
The transfer sounds much better than theimpregnation, right, my one embryo.
(00:43):
We're hoping to do that in twoweeks. But it turns out we
are learning so much about this wholeprocess. Um, and there's still so
much more to do before we cando that. We have the lawyers set
up, but we still have toget the contracts actually signed. Okay,
And and it turns out she hasto take the medication like birth control and
then shots and all that for eightweeks before she has to take birth control.
(01:08):
Yeah, it's very odd. Itlike regulates you before they control you.
Basically that makes sense actually, Buteven if she's regular, they still
have to do it and then afterthat. So now we're actually looking at
mid July as being gosh, theactual when we get somebody pregnant. I
(01:30):
actually like that it's taking longer foryou because now it gives me time to

Oh my god, elizabethany what haveyou done in your life? I mean,
and all of these are such innocentphotos I've done, like more risk

(04:51):
on the internet about me. Yeah, but it's wilder, like we exist
in so many more places than wethought. Yeah, this pumped up my
ego. I'm not gonna lie.If you want to check it out pim
pimiyes dot com. Here's this youneed to know with Elizabethany and Zach what
is the most important thing you've seenthis week? So, if you have
(05:12):
Facebook, you could be getting moneyfrom a Facebook settlement and this is exactly
how it feels. Stick it tothe man. Yeah. So basically,
Facebook was under these allegations that theyshared users information without their permission back in
twenty eighteen. So if you've hadFacebook from two thousand and seven to twenty
twenty two or anytime in between,you can actually file a claim online because
(05:34):
there's been a seven hundred and twentyfive million dollars settlement with this company.
So now you can file out aclaim online and be like, hey,
here's my information, and if itturns out that they did sell your information,
you can be part of that settlementand get some money. But only
if they sold my information. Yes, how much am I going to get?
Well, probably enough to buy likea cup of coffee, gaming that
(05:57):
counts that. I mean free coffee. It's free coffee. Some celebrity news
from this week. First of all, tomar Hamlin, well, I guess
that's sports news. Who of theBuffalo Bills who collapsed on the field this
year, they have one percent clearto him to go back to football,
saying that it was such a freakaccident he is no more at risk for
it now than he was at thatmoment. Okay, good for him.
That's actually really cool to hear becauseit's been such a short time I feels,
(06:19):
I know, and it's super exciting. And then Michelle Obama was on
Jimmy Fallon and I just love howreal she is. My favorite People are
talking about different parts of this interviewthat they weren't invited back to the White
House whatever. My favorite part wasthat the Sasha and Malia are living in
an apartment together. Yeah, andthey asked if she had gone to visit,
(06:41):
if her and Baracca had gone tovisit. She's like, one time.
Obviously, when we are your parents, you don't want us coming to
visit. But they went one time, and the girls made them cocktails,
and the girls made them really reallybad martini's with fake vermouth that they drank
out of tumbler cups. I lovethat. That's such like a college experience.
I know, it's so perfect.Did you see that there's going to
(07:02):
be a new Twilight TV series?So I guess there, you know,
like they had the Harry Potter HBOseries. Now there's a Twilight series in
the works. Apparently it's still inthe early stages, but author Stephanie Meyer
is expected to be involved in thisTV series of Twilight. It's just too
soon to redo some of these things. There's no need to do it now.
(07:25):
I didn't like Twilight as a movie. What makes you think I'm going
to watch it on TV as aseries? Right? I love Coachella Weekends,
not because I went there one time. I don't ever need to go
back. I love looking at thefashion because I think it tells us so
much about what people are going towear this summer. Agreed, it's so
fun. Yes, So the biggestthemes are space cowboy. Okay, they
(07:46):
have a horse ride a cowboy,yes, like metallocky but cowboy boots.
But you know, with the sequinsand stuff. I feel like Lil nas
X was way ahead on this trend. Okay, and then also that's true
and then also go so we're talkingthe bell bottoms, we're talking the retro
kind of vibe. I'm actually surprisedthat the two thousands vibe was really not
(08:09):
represented as much. Yeah, alot of people are liking retro, but
maybe they're just doing like a modernizedmetro. Yeah, retro, it's almost
more seventies because they're also doing alot of bohemian stuff. So lots and
lots of white for this summer.Cute. I'm excited to go shopping.
Now, you saw a trend offace stuff. Yeah, there's this like
(08:30):
holistic person on TikTok that's saying thatthis is what she does get rid of
her acne. She's saying that shesmears her face with beef fat, that
it's helped her with her acne.But now there's a lot of dermatologists that
are saying, like, hey,maybe you should and do this because it's
super thick and it'll actually end upclogging your pores and it's super acidic,
so it could actually end up burningyour skin. Yeah, nothing about that
(08:52):
sounds good at all. And also, what is beef fat? Like?
I was like, do you justbuy a jar of beef fat from Amazon?
Or do you like ground your groundlike brown your ground beef and just
pour the fat into a can andsmear it on your face. I don't
know how you get the beef fat. No, I'm gonna pass on that
one. I used to say thatI would try anything the Internet told me
(09:13):
too, I pass. I'm poundinganymore. And McDonald's they are now going
to be serving their big Max saucein a little cup. You can get
it as a dipping sauce. Thismakes me so happy. As soon as
you said that, my mouth startedsalivating thinking about dipping French fries in it.
Sauce is what gets me always.I'm a big sauce man, So
yes, saucy. Wonder if they'llstart selling it at the grocery store like
(09:35):
they dude Chick fil a sauce,although then it's really just thousand Island dressed.
Any yeah. Fair. So Iwas at a bar last night with
one of my brother's best friends,and he is single. He is very
attractive, but he never talks togirls. Why is he like shy?
I think he just like doesn't knowwhere to start whatever. But then I
went into this whole deep dive intomy brain and realize some things. Okay,
(09:58):
first of all, I had toteach him about body language at a
bar. You know, if you'reif you're out at a bar and you
want to meet people, there's somethingabout you that is turning outwards. Yeah,
you can't have your like you're backto the crowd. You have to
be turned out a little bit,even if it's your feet, even if
it's one shoulder, something is pointedout. But if you only want to
be talking to your friends or leftalone at the bar, then you that
(10:20):
is it. That's where every partof your body is is facing. I
taught him that, and he wasvery excited to maybe look for girls that
had their feet out, but ofcourse none that did he was attracted to,
which is annoying. Yeah, andthen I also realized that especially I
don't know that this works for yourcommunity, but or is whatever true for
(10:41):
your community. But us girls havecompletely ruined men from buying us strengths because
all we've ever done is talking abouthow creepy it is and how we don't
want guys to buy us drinks becausethen we're obligated to talk to them.
So now nobody wants to be acreep they're not going to buy it for
us. That and I think alot of like women are scared that they're
going to put something in it thatthey're like, Nope, not going to
take a drink from a dude.But then girls I talked to were like,
(11:05):
nobody buying me drinks anymore. Well, because we ruined it. You
did ruin it. Honestly, Iwould agree with that one too. So
now we got to retrain people,the nice people to help a sister out
or somebody. But there's a littletips. I think those tips work for
pretty much anyone out looking to mingle. I think he should take me with
him next time. I am anexcellent wingman. Women love a fabulous gay
(11:26):
man. I can start a conversationwith the wall. That's fact. We'll
make that happen done. I'm realizingthat this show. I'm just like having
a lot of really deep thoughts thisweek. You are you okay? No?
Did you go to therapy this week? No? And I probably need
it. I probably welcome to therapy. Oh my god. But I was
thinking about all my friends who arekind of shamed in being parents, like
(11:48):
the little things that they do.They're so worried about doing something wrong.
Yeah. So you and I weretalking, and I think the best thing
to do is to have people callin and tell us the things they've done
that made them feel like a badparent or would make other people shame them
for doing so. Yeah, Ifeel like we can at least all come
together and feel better about ourselves.Right. Like my best friend she tells
(12:11):
me all the time all these crazystories about her son because both her and
her husband are introverts. Both ofher kids are extroverts. They're insane that
I love it. It makes meso happy. But if he's like if
her son staring a tantrum, shejust sits in the room and lets him
break everything in the room. AndI think that's perfectly fine parenting. I
(12:31):
mean, sometimes you need a rageroom. Oh my god. Facts.
But other people would probably be like, you need to get your kid under
control. Yeah, I agree.Listen, everybody makes some weird decisions.
Let's hear from you. Okay.So my toddler at two and a half
years old, would not stop biting. I know there's that's an issue,
(12:52):
you know. So I asked myfriend, my adult friend, if she
would bite him back, you know, to to show that it was wrong.
Okay, she did. She did, and you know what, you
know what, he's never been again. I am not lying you did you?
(13:13):
Why were you not the biter back? Because because if he bit her
and then she bit back, Ithought at first that you were just like
sitting there and you brought your friendover and I was like, hey,
go bite my song. No,okay, here's the thing. I feel
like that's not really that bad ofan idea, especially if it works.
But like, toddlers are kind oflike puppies, you know, they make
(13:37):
like spray, like the apple cidervinegar spray that you can spray on things
so that he won't want to biteanymore. I didn't know that that would
probably be another bad parent idea,but you know what, whatever works for
your kid, you do it anddon't let anybody tell you otherwise. Okay,
thank you. How about you?What bad parenting do you want to
confess? You said you have beentaking your kid to swim lessons. We
(14:00):
were out of a public pool andhe still likes to be held while we're
in the pool, and so Idecided to, hey, let's put these
swim lessons to use. Well,so all of a sudden, I like
let go to him and sort oflike wade over to the side of the
pool and tell him to swim over. And he was. But as he
was swimming, he was scared andyelling like get me, get me,
and he was like crying by something. He got over to me like he
(14:24):
did he swim He did it successfully, but he was just bawling his eyes
out and all it was just apublic pool and all the other parents are
staring daggers at me. I thinkthat's a great parent move. Actually,
I think drowning a little bit isa rite of passage for a child.
It's just like you're going to falloff your bike and skim your knees and
then you're going to learn how toride it. I'm glad to hear at
(14:45):
least you agree. Yeah, I'mlike, I'm somewhat on the same page
of like that's how my mom taughtme to swim, Like we went to
swim lessons and then either crap orget off the pot, like figure out
what you're gonna do. It's notmy fault. You won't let me see
a note that our boss wrote toyou because I can't tell if it's like
creepy or sweet. So his actuallyit's my boss's son, all right,
(15:07):
left it here at work for me, and I was like, is this
like super cute or really creepy.I gotta tell you I had a creepy
kids situation the other day too,So we'll talk about that in a second.
Okay, So you want me toread you Yeah, it says so
his name is Jackson, he issix years old, and he left a
note here at worked for me thatsays from Jackson to Zach, I love
(15:31):
you. I am here. Youwon't forget. That is like a little
bit maniacal at the end, likeyou won't forget. So I came into
work and I was like, whatdid he do to my desk? Did
he pee in the corner? Likewhat am I not going to forget about
him being here hopefully that Wow,okay, that's It's kind of wild how
similar that is too. I wasat an event and one little girl,
(15:54):
I think maybe about six five,she kept saying she was like, loved
me and was going to remember meforever. And I was like, well,
how are you going to remember meforever? We haven't taken a photo.
She said, I'm going to drawyou every day for the rest of
my life. That's like an honoredbut still really creepy, the creepiest.
I think both of them are creepy. I think obviously kids mean the best.
(16:17):
Yeah, I feel like it wasgood intentions. But let's also keep
an eye on these two in thefuture as they move on in life.
Yeah. I've gone through my entireoffice looking for something wrong, probably a
turd somewhere. We are both ina very long term, committed relationships.
That is factual. I'd like tothink we both think they're good relationships for
me outside of this whole moving fiasco. We're green. Moving really brings out
(16:42):
the worse than people. Oh mygod, So I found this list.
A psychiatrist says the strongest couples willsay these things to each other every day.
Okay, I appreciate your effort.I say that in a way like
I'll say, hey, thank youfor doing in the dishes or thank you
for doing that same. Of course, I love you helps but I like
(17:06):
you. I never say I likeyou. I don't either, but it
is very different than I love you, and I think I need to start
saying that more. I feel likeI would be offended if my boyfriend looked
at me and was like, hey, I like you, I'd like,
you don't love me anymore. Butit's like or it's like I like how
you do that? Or I likeyou know, its just like saying something
(17:26):
that they like. I'd say thatafter BOUCHI I like how you did that?
Dude? That again amazing? Helpme better understand? Okay, So
this is perfect for when you're inan argument. I absolutely need to start
saying this more because I'm always soconfused about what my husband's trying to say
(17:47):
and I'm just like what. Yeah. I feel like we kind of do
it because when we get in anargument or we're like ranting about something,
we'll be like, do you wantadvice or do you want to be heard
right now? Yeah? Okay,that's good too, But saying that you
want to better understand and that youneed help it makes them feel like,
okay, you know that they're thehero, makes them feel validated and heard.
(18:07):
Yes, you want to say sorry, And also I forgive. I
never say I forgive me neither.I always say I am so sorry.
I apologize. Now let's move forward, because I will never forgive right.
Also, I'm committed to you.I feel like that is an under like
just automatically understood. I said,vows like I'm stuck whether I want to
(18:30):
be here or not. Yeah,Like, what do you think that's ring
on my finger is doing? Right? But I do think it is.
Maybe not every day, but Ido think that would be kind of nice
to hear every week every other week, just like, hey, I'm committed
to making sure we're talking this outand being on the same page. That
makes me feel like there's like troubleand paradise. If you have to come
(18:52):
to me and be like, hey, honey, I'm committed to you and
be like, so what did youdo to make me think you weren't okay?
And so you want to say I'mlistening, Okay. I appreciate that
one yeah, and that's actually thefinal one. But letting them know that
you actually you're hearing what they're saying, You're paying attention. I feel like
(19:12):
after this little survey thing, we'redoing pretty good. Yeah mostly I think
I hit like five out of nine. Okay, you're over fifty. Yeah
on a good name. So we'retrying. But it is a good refresher
to be like, Okay, thisis how I can. I think that
love languages, you know, Ido all the love languages, but no,
(19:33):
sometimes words just got to be said. Yeah. Time, do you
wrap things up with the happy ending? Everybody's favorite way to end things?
Amen, sister. Okay, I'mgonna go first today. And I love
this couple who during the pandemic,one guy was like, I'm bored,
I'm going to marry a stranger onTikTok okay, because why not? So
(19:55):
he posts it. A bunch ofpeople respond. This other girl happens to
fall upon the TikTok and applies,and both of them go meet in Vegas
get married, assuming they're going toannul it in a week, yeah,
I would assume. So they bothadmit that they would never have talked to
each other in a bar that they'renot really that attracted whatever. Now they
(20:15):
never got annulled. They're two yearsinto their marriage and they're the cute as
ever. This is like a reallife situation of love is blind. Yes,
And I also feel like this isa sign that you should always go
for your gut idea. People getideas all the time, and you might
push it off or you might notdo it because you might think it's silly.
Execute the idea. Yeah, execute, I love that, Okay,
(20:38):
So I love this. It happenedin Atlanta. Amazon. The company has
decided to kind of target students andundeserved and historically underrepresented underrepresented communities. So
they have awarded twenty one Atlanta studentswith forty thousand dollars scholarships to future engineer
scholarships so that they can pursue theireducation in the different STEM field. So
(21:02):
that's a total of eight hundred andforty thousand dollars in scholarships in Georgia for
these underrepresented communities. And I'm like, that makes me so happy because these
kids may have not ever been ableto afford to go to school for something
like this, and they're going tobe great in their future. Careers all
because they got gifted this scholarship.Yeah, that's beautiful giving people money,
(21:22):
especially when people have too much ofit. Just give it away to people
who needed. I mean, Ifeel partially responsible in this because I order
so much from Amazon. Yeah thatI technically gave them some money too.
Hey, I like that. Keepthat. That is our happy ending.
You can hear more of the show. I had a Zurgacy update. We
also talked about a creepy note thatZach got from our boss's kid. Yeah,
(21:45):
and some bad parenting. All ofit will be on the podcast.
