00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: lot of reasons. One, we are in the studio which

5
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 1: we made in years. This is the first time in

6
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: our new studio, so wish us lucky. It is very fancy.

7
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: We have Christina here with us, but we are joined.

8
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: We are so thrilled to be joined by our executive producer, Maya.

9
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for taking the time and coming in.

10
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: Yes, thank you. Well I was already here today. Well

11
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: we're going to pretend you came in just this episode specifically,

12
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: and I could have taken all these meetings at home.

13
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, I really I am here for you than

14
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: what I feel. We really appreciate it.

15
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: We do appreciate it, and we love seeing you face

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: to face in real life. Because it's been has it been.

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 2: Over a couple of year? Years? How many? How many

18
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: years has it been, y'all, it's been years, been years.

19
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: We'll just say that. We'll just keep it at because we.

20
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: Did have an in person, spent tea meeting a couple

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: of years ago, but.

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: It was years yes it was over wings, which it

23
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 3: was that, but yes, glad to be in the studio

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 3: for the first time also in years. This is this

25
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: is odd, just like I'm going back and forth to

26
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: look at your faces. It is such an odd like

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 3: sensation not seeing my own face, which I don't hate.

28
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're actually here in real life.

29
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: It's very strange. And this episode kind of came about

30
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: through some real life conversations collaborations, because Christina was talking

31
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: with you Maya about something that an episode we had

32
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: done on a spirit list alcohol calls spiritless non alcohol

33
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: and you are like, wait, I can I have some

34
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: things to say about this, right I do?

35
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: I do. I'm a huge purchaser, you know, consumer of

36
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: non alcoholic spirits at you know bars, I'm always looking

37
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: at what they have, and in the like last several years,

38
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: you know, most places you go will have at least

39
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: a small menu of mocktails. But now, you know, people

40
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 2: are calling it spiritless or zero proof, which just makes

41
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: me feel a little bit more chic and fancy than

42
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: mocktail because I'm like, I don't want a Shirley Temple.

43
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 2: I want something grown up and that feels complex without

44
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: having to consume alcohol, so for so many reasons. I

45
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: feel like there's just so many reasons why, you know,

46
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: you may not want to or maybe you never even

47
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: heard of spirit free alcohol or you know options. And

48
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 2: I think it's like a really fun way to get into,

49
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: you know, socializing if you're not like a huge alcohol drinking.

50
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 3: All right, And I know that's that's been a lot

51
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 3: of people who have stopped drinking alcohol or have gotten

52
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: sober and feeling like they've lost a part of their

53
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: selves because they don't have that social aspect to it.

54
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: And so having spiritless or zero proof mocktails is a

55
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: fantastic way to go. And then also because you seem

56
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: like an expert when you're talking about it to us,

57
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: I'm like.

58
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: Yes, bring it in. We need to know more.

59
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: And then that way we can spread because there's so

60
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: many people, like even in my circle who are a

61
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 3: sober or have decided to not drink alcohol anymore at

62
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: least less, so being able to be inventive and creative

63
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: with these cocktails mocktails slash zero proof.

64
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: Do we call it spiritless, it's weirdless, it's mocktail if

65
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: you want to call it that. That's the classic verbiage,

66
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: but I think I like zero proof. Okay, we'll go

67
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 2: to zero that's what I like. But yeah, I mean

68
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: I'm kind of like an evangelist for the for zero proof,

69
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: you know, spirits. Anytime somebody comes over to my house,

70
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: we have game nights, we have events at our house,

71
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: and we always have options for non alcoholic drinks. And

72
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 2: recently my favorite has been Nowadays that initially I saw

73
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: it on Instagram and it just looked really cool. Because

74
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 2: I'm into a lot of these products, I get fed

75
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: new brands all the time, like look at this one,

76
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: look at that one, And this one was some one

77
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: that I found really intriguing because it is cannabis infused.

78
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: So maybe you're not a drinker, but you're more of

79
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: the herbal variety. This is for you, Like it is.

80
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: It's kind of revolutionary, honestly, Like it's a really unique product.

81
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: And I've had made drinks for a lot of people

82
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: who've come over to my house and they just absolutely

83
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: love it because you still get some sort of feeling

84
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: and effect, but you have, of course none of the alcohol, hangover, dehydration,

85
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: all of that stuff. So I'm a huge fan of

86
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 2: that one. I'm also a big fan of just drinks

87
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: that have sometimes they're already pre mixed. There's a brand

88
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: called kin that I really love. They make also zyrup

89
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: of spirits, but they also make pre mixed cocktails that

90
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: have like other types of herbs, not the cannabis variety,

91
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: but more like oshonda or rodiola or passion flower, and

92
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: they give different effects of like passion flowers very calming.

93
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: Rodiola is like a stress reliever, as ganda is an adaptogenics,

94
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: so it helps and stress, both modulating up or modulating down,

95
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: depending on how your body reacts with it. I'm a

96
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: big herbal person who I love herbs, so it kind

97
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 2: of all goes into the same vein of like being

98
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: your own little mixologists. You know, mixing this tea with that,

99
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: and you know mixing it with the with you know,

100
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: green tea with a little bit of peppermint covermin is

101
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: great for relaxation, and like, you know, I could just

102
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: go on forever. So when it came to you know,

103
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: non alcoholic spirits and like, oh my gosh, this is

104
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: this new realm that I can kind of be really

105
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: creative with and make something fun.

106
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: Which is amazing because you and I need to talk

107
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 3: about I've gotten into magnesium Glasswanda and.

108
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: To l one, what is it healthy name? Yeah, I

109
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: don't know how to say that.

110
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: I'm not going to give up my own name, but yes,

111
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: and I've been doing that at night and I'm like,

112
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 3: I feel like it made It's made a difference in

113
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: my sleep. Yes, but this is not necessarily like anything

114
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: that I have researched, So take that with a grain

115
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: of salt. Yeah, obviously, and when we talk about this,

Speaker 3: You know those electronic things, electronic mail, you get one

Speaker 3: You know how we tell you.

126
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: Yes, over the age of twenty one, even though these

127
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: are not alcoholic, especially the cannabis and viewsed over twenty one.

128
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: Surprisingly and amazingly, there are some really great zero proof

129
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: stores that just specify in non alcoholic drinks. And in Atlanta,

130
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 2: there's one called the zero Co and this is where

131
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: I purchased the nowadays, I purchased the ritual from Total Wine,

132
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: which surprisingly has like a whole section of non alcoholic

133
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: and they're just continuing to expand even in like Fear

134
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: and Champaigne and like kind of literally anything you want.

135
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: You can really you can really have any any of

136
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: drinks that you were drinking before or that you want to,

137
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: you know, share with your friends. They kind of have

138
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: a everything. But zero Co is really cool because it's

139
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: just more of like a bespoke, more curated place where

140
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: you can They do tastings once a week, maybe once

141
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: or twice a week, which is really cool, so you

142
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: can try the different drinks. And we'll segue into the

143
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: drink that we're doing today.

144
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: Yes, Yes, and prepared something for us a little bit

145
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 4: of ASMR.

146
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: So we're starting with the ritual. Tequila, just a regular

147
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: about a shot size of that. And this one is

148
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: really interesting because it has botanicals that kind of mimic

149
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: the taste of a tequila. So it has smoked mesquite

150
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 2: eat to give it that like smoky flavor, black peppercorn, capsicum, fruit,

151
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: prickly ash, and green bell pepper. So it's that really

152
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: like savory kind of flavor, really like vegetable almost, but

153
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: also like really deep and smoky too, yeah, exactly. And

154
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: then we have the Nowadays, which has a really interesting flavor.

155
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a fruity It's hard to describe.

156
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: I would say, smell, smell the Nowadays and like, tell

157
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: me what you think about what that I can I

158
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: can't tamp down, Like what that smells like? It reminds

159
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: me of a candy. Yeah, I'm gonna.

160
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: Put my nose in it that, try to think of it.

161
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: Not exactly, but it's like a fruit. Yeah, it's like

162
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 2: a fruity candy, like almost like a skittle gummy candy, like, yeah.

163
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 3: Okay, you know what kind of sweetest fish okaya for

164
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: some reason that's not quite liquorice, but kind of like

165
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: and then locking the red dynamic but delicious.

166
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 2: Somehow I don't know, like like a clear like it's

167
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: like a milky that's the wrong cap. It's like a

168
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: milky color. So I'm not really sure how they got

169
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: that flavor. But and then we're gonna end with a

170
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 2: lemon honeysuckle montane on top with a little squeeze of

171
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 2: lime and that's our drink and it's delicious, kind of

172
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: reminiscent of a mule type drink. Not quite because we

173
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: don't have ginger, but that was sort of my inspiration.

174
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 3: Do you have you gotta name it? Just cause we

175
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 3: put it in our eventual.

176
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: Her ventual book, Cocktail Book, I would call this.

177
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: Georgia Hayes.

178
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: I like that.

179
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: I like that, yes, because we joked about the fact

180
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 3: that previously in office we had Montane all the time.

181
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: So coming back to have Montanne in the office is

182
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 3: like a welcome back.

183
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: Very very reminiscent of eld office. So I kind of

184
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 2: which is local? Last time? I was, yes, it is local.

185
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: Last time I was here in the office, we ran

186
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: out and I was like, we have to get more,

187
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: because we have to have more.

188
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: It's those perks, those like tiny little things. Were like,

189
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: if I'm covering the office, then I'm going to get

190
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: one of these, going to get there.

191
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 3: Immediately came to the office, figured out that was Montane,

192
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: went and got one and I was like, oh, they

193
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 3: have chips.

194
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't good snack here? Well, I need my fancy

195
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: water and my snacks.

196
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: Why do I come into the point of being in

197
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: the office other than seeing our very best people, yeah,

198
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 3: who we get to work with. But this is delightful.

199
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: So you took this as a kind of a spin

200
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: off on the meal without the ginger.

201
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, and using the lemon honeysuckle, I feel like

202
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: gives that a similar type of flavor profile. And then

203
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: the smokiness in the ritual, I think all just like

204
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: brands it together.

205
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: I love that because yeah, that smoking finish, which an

206
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: he knows we just did a whole episode on mezcal

207
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: not a fan. I think I said that repeatedly to

208
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 3: the point that it may have ruined that actual episode.

209
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 3: But because the smokiness can be so overwhelming. But with this,

210
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 3: it's nice and balanced and I'm enjoying this.

211
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: Now.

212
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 3: This is my first time drinking an infused alcohol a

213
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 3: tech seed view, so I'll let y'all know how this goes.

214
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yes, it's a very calm and like irrespectable

215
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: level of influence. I would say, you know, you could

216
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: still have a nice night out a drink or two

217
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 2: of this, Like it's not going to take you down.

218
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: It's really meant to just have a light, calming kind

219
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 2: of joyous effect is what I would say. And everyone

220
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 2: who I've shared it with has just been like rave

221
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: fans and now stock it in their house. So I

222
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: love that.

223
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 3: I know this has an uplifting experience for any occasion.

224
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: Yes, including coming back.

225
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: That is absolutely true before you walk in. And this

226
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: was one hundred percent legally procured. Yes, a licensed location

227
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: of don get us. Yeah, please, yes, my did it please? Job?

228
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: This is so good.

229
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 3: And y'all we've got little wine glass is that Christina

230
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: found for us? So we are so fancy. We are

231
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: very chair around the mics.

232
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was good, but this is amazing. I

233
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 2: love this. So what made you turn to doing zero

234
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: proof drinks?

235
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah?

236
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: I think definitely during the pandemic. I even before, so

237
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: it was something that I was kind of like interested

238
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: in dabbling in and kind of like dipping my toes into.

239
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: I'm a yoga professional and you know, just being in

240
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: the wellness industry, I think you're kind of at the

241
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 2: cusp of these types of products, and when they were

242
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: first coming out, I was like, oh, this is interesting

243
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: and kind of thinking about the idea of what it

244
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: would be like to not drink when I go out

245
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: and kind of exploring that as like a personal challenge

246
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: and exploration and wanting to overcome some social anxiety, not

247
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: wanting to use alcohol as a crutch for outings, because

248
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: it was definitely something that I did, especially like throughout

249
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: my twenties, and you know, I was a big drinker

250
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: in college, and honestly, I probably drank enough throughout college

251
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: and like for the rest of my life. So it

252
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: was it was a thing of wanting to, you know,

253
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: explore what socializing would be without that influence, specifically by alcohol.

254
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: And then it just became something that I did more

255
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: and more when I would go out and people just knew, oh, yeah,

256
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: Mike doesn't really drink, and it was became easier for

257
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: me to just you know, have my own drink or

258
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: when I went out, they didn't have anything to do,

259
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: like a sparkling water and lime and you know, make

260
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: it seem like I had something so that people don't

261
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: ask questions. Right, But even with you know, not being

262
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: somebody who was in recovery or anything like that, just

263
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: saying oh, I'm not drinking tonight, the pressure of people

264
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: around you wanting to drink was just so intense and

265
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: very heavy, to the point of like, I can fully

266
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: see how someone who is in recovery and really struggling

267
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: with alcoholism and that could It's just so hard. It's

268
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: so hard to say no when you're out, you know,

269
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: and it for me, it was just a personal choice,

270
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: and it was it was still really really hard just

271
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: to be like no, no, no, you know, you know,

272
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: there's so many questions, Oh, why why aren't you drinking

273
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: and what's wrong with you? Or you know, are you pregnant,

274
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: which is the worst. Which is the worst question is

275
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: one like you know, maybe you're not ready if you

276
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: are pregnant to tell people you know, you could have

277
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: had a loss, like so many things, and people are

278
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: just so nonchalant about being like, oh, if you're not drinking,

279
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: you must be pregnant, which is just absolutely ridiculous and insane.

280
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, that just kind of pushed me more into

281
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: wanting to not drink as much. And last year I

282
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: actually got diagnosed with an audioimmune disease, so it's even

283
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: more so kind of like an important thing for me

284
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: just to keep inflammation down for that condition. And alcohol,

285
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 2: of course is like a huge inflammatory drink that you

286
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: can consume, so you know, every now and then I'll

287
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: have like at my wedding, I had the toast to

288
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: champagne things like that. But other than that, I really

289
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 2: just I'm very comfortable and secure in the fact that

290
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I don't really drink anymore, and it's

291
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: becoming more common now, so it's really cool to find

292
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: other people that are like, yeah, me too. But at

293
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 2: the beginning it was really challenging, and now just for

294
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 2: my health, it's even more of like a precedent for

295
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: me just to keep it out of my right. Yes,

296
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: I apologize.

297
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 3: I just asked the question when I think about it,

298
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: because in my head it's like it's so normalized.

299
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: I feel like it's just kind of like, Okay, cool,

300
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: what are you drinking? What do you have?

301
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 3: Having the options of seeing more and more like restaurants

302
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: having the zoo improved alcohols and types of drinks and

303
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 3: having them as available. Although recently I've been watching TikTok

304
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 3: where people have been given alcohol when they've requested WHOA,

305
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: so people were like, what's happening, But that people have

306
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: been outraged for that because now people are understanding, hey,

307
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: this is absolutely should be a choice. This absolutely should

308
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: just go forward without questions. Yeah, and there should have

309
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 3: been this kind of option to begin with.

310
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, I wouldn't we And it's like the validity

311
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 2: of the choice without being an alcoholic, I think for

312
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: such a long time was not there. It's like, well,

313
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 2: if you're not an alcoholic, then like, why wouldn't you drink? Right,

314
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: you know, here's a drink or drink in your face.

315
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 2: Put it just add alcohol to somebody's drink, right. But

316
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 2: like you said, now I think it's more acceptable to say, like,

317
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: it's just a personal choice and that's it. It makes sense. Yeah.

318
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've started drinking less and less, mainly because I

319
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 3: get very sleepy, and I'm like I don't want to

320
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: sit here and be sleepy with everybody because for some reason,

321
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: I'm like I can almost sleep anywhere. So I'm like, yeah,

322
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go take a nap in my car

323
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: right back, which is what my what my like stress responses.

324
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 2: Anyway.

325
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, so I love having these options as well.

326
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's just nice to have something like fizzy and fruity,

327
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 3: which is oftentimes those kind of zero proof are end

328
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 3: up being that way and you like, yeah, it's just nice.

329
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: And I really love like the ones that are a

330
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: little bit more interesting and complex. Like that's what I

331
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: really am like, Oh, this is so cool. And they

332
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 2: add bitters, you know, do like at create the same

333
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: level of like fun and interest to the non alcoholic

334
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: drinks as mixologists or bartenders as they do with the

335
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: alcoholic drinks. You know. That's I always enjoy seeing that.

336
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 3: We have that company that does their own bitters eating

337
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: any one. And they had an Earl Gray bitters that

338
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 3: my partner loves.

339
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 2: That sounds so good, yeah, so nice to have.

340
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: And we had bought the Spiritless, which was our whiskey

341
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 3: U zero proof whiskey that we had gotten from the

342
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: all female owned company, and he had mixed it with that.

343
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Okay, I'm gonna have to try that.

344
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: I love Earl Gray. Oh I'm a huge Earl Gray fan.

345
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 2: I'm like thinking about how to make some sort of

346
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 2: Spiritless London Fogg type situation. They go, that sounds so good.

347
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 3: If you do like the Spiritless brand that we had

348
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 3: that had because they had bourbon, they had scotch.

349
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: I think this is several different as.

350
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 3: Well, but like they had a really good uh that

351
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,479
Speaker 3: bourbon was really nice and it was very like it

352
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 3: tasted exactly like whiskey to me. It was a little

353
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: the sweeter, but I was like, yeah, like this, and

354
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: I don't drink a lot of whiskey on its own typically,

355
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 3: especially now, but that was a nice like with that

356
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 3: bitters was a nice little top All like.

357
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds great. Yeah, I'm definitely gonna have to

358
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 2: try that.

359
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: So is this your favorite dopproof drink or do you

361
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: Might really like. I think fever Tree makes a grapefruit

362
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 2: kind of mixer, sparkling mixer. I'm all, I love a

363
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 2: sparkling dress. Yeah, I always want a little bit of sparkle.

364
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: So I do the grapefruit sparkling drink from fever Tree

365
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 2: and then they have an elder flower. Yes, yes, yes,

366
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: that's so good, and those with the nowadays is like

367
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: my favorite.

368
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 3: I love grapefruit if you put some type of citrus, grapefruit, pineapple,

369
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 3: and then me too, me too every time, yea, and

370
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: sometimes I like, I love having basil. Basil grapefruit is

371
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: my favorite. Like combo, I've never done that combo.

372
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: There you go, experiment grapefruit.

373
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: Wow, that sounds incredible. That's one of my favorite.

374
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: And then I do BlackBerry and rosemary.

375
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds really good in the summer. I haven't

376
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: done this with a spiritless drink, but I've done it

377
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: with coffee because I like to do a little bit

378
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 2: of coffee experimentation and I feel like coffee mixing goes

379
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: really well with like cocktail mixing. And I got this

380
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 2: inspiration from a coffee shop called Perk. They have location

381
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 2: in Atlanta and they do or they used to do

382
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: a drink that was rosemary simple syrup with lemon and

383
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 2: espresso with sparkling water on ice. It sounds so weird,

384
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: but it was amazing, like it kind of like an

385
00:22:53,080 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 2: Arnold Palmer but with coffee and just the best summer drink.

386
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: And I could see that being really good with adding

387
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: a little bit of a spiritless something there. All right,

388
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 2: summer Morkdill Summer Coffee zero pro. Yes, we'll make that one.

389
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 2: We'll do it in June. We'll have to make that

390
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 2: one for sure. It has to be early in the

391
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 2: day because I'm old and I'll be up all night.

392
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: Oh same, No need to no shame in that. If

393
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 2: I drink, if I have caffeine after like one thirty

394
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 2: two o'clock. I'm not the coffee.

395
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, theyd like coffee and espresso anything after about two,

396
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: like you said, I'll be thinking about things.

397
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, same all night, all night. Yeah, and not not

398
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: the good thing. Wow, there you go at the beginning

399
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: of my nightmare. And then like, why did I drink

400
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 2: that I knew better? I'm over forty well. Also, like

401
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 2: the drink that I mentioned Ken, they have like a

402
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 2: a nightcap kind of like sleepy time cocktail with some

403
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 2: herbs and some bitters. That's really nice. I think I

404
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: can't remember the name of it, but it's in their

405
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 2: purple can okay, And that's like their nighttime night type

406
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: of drink.

407
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: I've been since I've been doing the Magnasium thing. I've

408
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 3: been telling you, I've been getting ads for Recess and

409
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 3: they have apparently get not a sponsor drink, but they

410
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 3: had like the USA in it. But like I've been

411
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: doing the poppy promiotic with the tart chair.

412
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: Cherry yeah yeah.

413
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 3: Okay, And I was like, I'll try Sleepy Girl mocktail.

414
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, I need to be sleepy. I according to

415
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 3: my my Samsung watch again, not a sponsor UH is

416
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 3: telling me I'm getting good sleep.

417
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: I have an or ring. So I also like, oh

418
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 2: my god, yeah, we have so many things. I know,

419
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 2: so many brands, Like this episode is just like we

420
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: don't have k drama, the podcast. You know that. I'm

421
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: just saying. My sleeve data has also been pretty good recently. Yeah,

422
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: so I don't.

423
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, you know what, because previously, when I

424
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 3: was not doing that, I was getting so the average

425
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: I guess it goes up to one hundred, was in

426
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 3: like sixty fifty five sixty, which is not great. And

427
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: as after doing that, I've been getting seventy five and eighties.

428
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 3: And I was like, look at you. So either my

429
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: watch is lying and it's in conspiracy with no magtisium

430
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 3: is like fully it it works. And also they say

431
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 3: I don't have the studies to back it the way

432
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 3: it all just this is all conjector. At the point,

433
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 3: we don't don't take our But.

434
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: They say that most Americans or most people modern day

435
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 2: people are very deficient in magnesium. It's one of the

436
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 2: nutrients that that's lacking in the soil. So a supplement

437
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 2: in magnesium, I don't I don't think it's ever a

438
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: bad thing unless it's like contraindicated right for you.

439
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: Again, like I would never medical advice. We're not telling

440
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 3: you to do this. We're not telling you. We just

441
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 3: I just tried this out from like the TikTok videos, Like, well,

442
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 3: it looks good, so let me try it anyway. If

443
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: it does something, great, If it doesn't, it doesn't, Like

444
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 3: I know through different people like melatone, is that same

445
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 3: conversation where uh, my partner can't take it because it

446
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 3: doesn't help him half the time, and sometimes that's the

447
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 3: opposite for me. If I take it, it actually makes

448
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 3: me really drowsy and groggy the next day, So like

449
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: it can and can't. And there's no scientific proof about

450
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 3: the the melotone and stuff as well, So like there's

451
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 3: no level level of conversations that we would say this is.

452
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 2: This is the way, this isn't don't do this. Don't

453
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 2: do it because of us.

454
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: Right, And then again, we are not medical professionals. We

455
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 3: are not in the health industry at all. I was

456
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 3: just like, h this is interesting, maybe this could work.

457
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 3: Is it bad for me?

458
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: Let me look it up?

459
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: And I did.

460
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,479
Speaker 2: I had those like what are the effects of this.

461
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 3: There are side effects of this that I don't need

462
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 3: to be having, you know, sei shuts or something.

463
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 2: God, magnesium is quite harmless, right, it's like one of

464
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 2: the pretty like standards.

465
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 3: I think it's like most like vitamins and any you

466
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 3: probably know this, Like it doesn't really absorb into your

467
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 3: body as much as you can.

468
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 2: You could be like half the things.

469
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 3: And then there are things that they could be proven

470
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: into this, like you know, like vitamin D is just

471
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: as good just go outside, just as taking. But all

472
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: of that to sday is like, but your physician, even

473
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: if it's in my head, but it's helping me sleep,

474
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna.

475
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: Go with it.

476
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: But that being said, melotonin, Yeah, they were like, yeah,

477
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: it's good for you now, and they're like, don't do that.

478
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: Don't do it.

479
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 3: Also yeah, because they're like, now, if you take more

480
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 3: than five milligiams, it doesn't do anything.

481
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: And it's also like a bad dependency like it.

482
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 2: Right, because you already you're naturally supposed to make melotonin

483
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 2: to help you go to sleep throughout your your own

484
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: circadian rhythm should be ideally helping you produce enough melotone

485
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: in so that you get sleepy at the right times

486
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 2: because of you know, our phones and lights and staying

487
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 2: inside not getting sunlight. You know, we're not producing enough

488
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: to help us get sleepy. So all of these things,

489
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: you know.

490
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 3: So many things that's keep telling me to give it

491
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 3: to Peaches. And Peaches does not care. She does not care.

492
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 2: If she's gonna be hyped. She's gonna be hyped, my gosh,

493
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 2: even if.

494
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 3: I give her the prescription meds that my vets give

495
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 3: to me, which are like, if this is a human,

496
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 3: you should you would have been knocked out, But you

497
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 3: as a dog don't care.

498
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 2: Have you given Peaches any CBD? I did? She did

499
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 2: not care.

500
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: Really, she she does this thing. She's already relaxed, but

501
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 3: so she's gonna be deeper relaxed. But if she's hyped,

502
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: not gonna do a damn thing.

503
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: What kind of dog is she? A jerk? I love her.

504
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: I love her very much.

505
00:28:54,280 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 3: She is a whole host of breeds of dogs, and

506
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 3: she is quite excitable.

507
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: She's gotten better. She is the foil to her d

508
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,880
