Speaker 2: We're here to answer some listener co questions.
Speaker 1: Amy is joining me this weekend. Amy, thanks for being here.
Speaker 3: Hi. Hi.
Speaker 2: Make sure you guys check out Part one. We talked
Speaker 2: all about the boyfriends. I know there was a lot
Speaker 2: of questions about that, so we just dedicated some time
Speaker 2: in Part one to that and some kids stuff and
Speaker 2: Amy perimenopause, as I'm am I saying that correctly.
Speaker 3: Amy's is that my nickname? Amy perimenopause? I think I
Speaker 3: forgot that, postures, but Amy's yeah, perimantalpozzle, perimantal pozzle, Amy's
Speaker 3: perimenopauseal life, all those things.
Speaker 1: Those are all in Part one.
Speaker 2: We got some shout outs to start Love you ladies
Speaker 2: from Caitlin and Sony from MD which I believe is Maryland.
Speaker 2: I don't know normally check them up when they went
Speaker 2: abbreviations because it hurts my brain.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. Okay.
Speaker 2: He bought his wife the desk cup holder that you
Speaker 2: bought all of us from Mother's Day and she loved it.
Speaker 1: That's fun.
Speaker 3: The desk cup holder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you bought us off from the studio.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know what I thought you just said.
Speaker 3: It sounds like you said the desk cup. But then
Speaker 3: I put two and two together.
Speaker 1: And then no question.
Speaker 2: Just obsessed with your iHeart outfit, No moss, just perfectly you,
Speaker 2: Michelle and Texas.
Speaker 1: My I for my fart, my iHeart outfit.
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thank you. I also was excited
Speaker 3: about it. I bought that in Charleston when I was
Speaker 3: I went with Alex. We went on our little trip. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we found that. So the first the only clothing that
Speaker 3: I got was the first store we went to and
Speaker 3: I put it on and I was like, I think
Speaker 3: I need to buy this for iHeart.
Speaker 1: Like now, Oh, I loved it. I thought it was
Speaker 1: so cute.
Speaker 2: I didn't think moss either, So I don't know where
Speaker 2: that came from. All right, Shilah from California wants to moths.
Speaker 1: There's some moths.
Speaker 3: Because I think I said something about I.
Speaker 1: Know, like the guys gave you a hard time for it.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I don't know why they even thought that,
Speaker 2: because I thought it looked great.
Speaker 3: Okay, I thought you were saying moss ms are like
Speaker 3: a right not working because I thought you said moss
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I don't understand moss either, but the
Speaker 3: moths I do get because when you have moths, they
Speaker 3: eat holes in your clothes.
Speaker 2: Well, two things, I'm not very good at pronouncing the
Speaker 2: thh and things and second my brain is not functioning correctly,
Speaker 2: and so yeah, they get it.
Speaker 3: Uh, the I had holes in my outfit. So they
Speaker 3: were like, you need mothballs.
Speaker 1: Mothballs, No you do not.
Speaker 2: I have looked a great all right, Shaylae from California,
Speaker 2: I wants to know your best tip to surviving divorce.
Speaker 1: Oh, well, loaded question to start us here?
Speaker 3: For me. You know, Ben and I had a theme
Speaker 3: during our divorce and it was to be thoughtful and
Speaker 3: kind and that's it was not easy, but it was
Speaker 3: easier because we both were committed to that. However, if
Speaker 3: you are divorcing someone who is not that way and
Speaker 3: is going to be the opposite of that, I would
Speaker 3: still advise you to maintain that you show up as
Speaker 3: thoughtful and kind. I saw Megan Patrick post something on
Speaker 3: Instagram earlier this week. She did like a Monday motivation
Speaker 3: and uh, it was a longer video, but I'll try
Speaker 3: to summarize sort of what she was saying, and I
Speaker 3: guess at times when we're in the thick of a moment,
Speaker 3: or we're in a rut, or we're in a like
Speaker 3: a low season, she was just reminding us it's easy
Speaker 3: to show up as your best self when things are
Speaker 3: going well. Uh, And she's like, when you show up
Speaker 3: as your best self when things are not going well,
Speaker 3: that's character.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I thought she said a.
Speaker 3: Lot more things around it that are that were good
Speaker 3: to hear of when you're going through lows, how you
Speaker 3: know you'll come out on the other side and you
Speaker 3: should look at how you're going to grow from it,
Speaker 3: and you know the strength you're going to build. But
Speaker 3: I really like that, and I think that when you're
Speaker 3: going through a divorce that is one of the of lows.
Speaker 3: That is definitely a hard time. It's one of the
Speaker 3: most difficult things that I've ever done. And I would
Speaker 3: just remind you to try your hardest, because in some
Speaker 3: moments it's very very difficult, but just to show up
Speaker 3: as your best self because then you don't look back
Speaker 3: with regret of like I can't believe I behave that way,
Speaker 3: or I can't believe I said that. And you may
Speaker 3: have those moments, and if you do, you have the
Speaker 3: opportunity to go and acknowledge your what you said and
Speaker 3: your behavior and ask for forgiveness or least apologize. And
Speaker 3: you don't have grace because because again, you may have
Speaker 3: those moments. But I just like that overall sentiment of
Speaker 3: showing up as your best self even in the hard times.
Speaker 3: So I think that's what Ben and I were trying
Speaker 3: to do. That was our goal because we didn't want
Speaker 3: to look back and regret how we treated each other
Speaker 3: and so thoughtful and kind, thoughtful and kind and no
Speaker 3: when to bail, no when to bail, abort, abort conversation,
Speaker 3: abort mission, like if you are you know, that's something
Speaker 3: Ben and I had to learn how to do too,
Speaker 3: and we would work on it together, like brending this conversation.
Speaker 3: We'll pick it up later because I cannot talk to
Speaker 3: you anymore right now. I'm not going to say stuff
Speaker 3: I don't want to say. But you don't have a
Speaker 3: healthy relationship. You might just need to be like I need,
Speaker 3: I need to go. We'll talk about this later. So
Speaker 3: that way, So there's my advice. Thoughtful and kind and
Speaker 3: know when to know when to walk away.
Speaker 2: Those are great pieces of advice, So Shilah, I.
Speaker 3: Hope those I'm sorry that you're going through.
Speaker 1: That sucks. It sucks.
Speaker 2: It definitely does dating advice after a long marriage.
Speaker 1: What advice does she have to get back out there?
Speaker 1: Because you're back out there you have a boyfriend.
Speaker 3: Uh, it may take some time, like you just got
Speaker 3: to rip the band aid off and go on some
Speaker 3: first dates, like I did not want to do that
Speaker 3: at all, And now what you can learn what you like,
Speaker 3: what you don't like, and you may learn that you
Speaker 3: don't like going on a lot of first dates, which
Speaker 3: is okay, but now you have that information.
Speaker 1: I remember I had to do.
Speaker 2: I remember this very very vividly because we were talking
Speaker 2: about this at the very beginning and you were I
Speaker 2: was like, just get on, hinge, just start going on dates.
Speaker 2: It'll be good for you. I know it feels weird.
Speaker 2: And you fought that back pretty hard. You did not
Speaker 2: want to do that, and well, and what.
Speaker 3: Was helpful too, is you reminded me it doesn't a
Speaker 3: date doesn't have to be this three hour dinner date.
Speaker 1: You can book a.
Speaker 3: One hour we're meeting for coffee or a cocktail or
Speaker 3: something and have an out like, say I've got from
Speaker 3: five to six because you know I have to go
Speaker 3: meet friends at six, or my kid has a game
Speaker 3: or something, have an out like and literally have something
Speaker 3: else to go do you don't want to enter into it,
Speaker 3: like you don't need to lie, like, just build it
Speaker 3: around something you already have going on. And that's another thing.
Speaker 3: I hated getting ready for dates, so I would always
Speaker 3: build it around something else I had going on. So
Speaker 3: that way, and I have to get ready twice. Like
Speaker 3: one time I had a work dinner downtown, and so
Speaker 3: I decided to meet someone at like four thirty because
Speaker 3: the work dinner was at five forty five. And so
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, I have from four thirty to
Speaker 3: five thirty. We could meet for a drink at this
Speaker 3: hotel of like a rooftop thing, and so I went
Speaker 3: there four thirty, met them five thirty, I'm out, yep.
Speaker 3: And so it was good and I didn't have to
Speaker 3: get dressed twice.
Speaker 1: So that is my tip.
Speaker 2: That is what you call two kill birds with one
Speaker 2: stone on why can.
Speaker 1: I not remember things?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's killing two birds once, so.
Speaker 1: You knew where I was going with it.
Speaker 2: So frustrating, but yes, good I'm glad and you did great.
Speaker 1: You got there and I got there.
Speaker 2: You think is awesome, and you would have never found
Speaker 2: that if you didn't get back out there and start
Speaker 2: dating again.
Speaker 3: Exactly, this is hope and you're allowed to change your mind.
Speaker 1: That is true.
Speaker 3: I like that because I went into dating my boyfriend
Speaker 3: thinking that I was in this like adult dating phase
Speaker 3: and I was going to date multiple people and so
Speaker 3: like the first week of a dating he said, He's like,
Speaker 3: I've dated and I'm not looking for that. I'm looking
Speaker 3: for to settle down with someone, So I'm not going
Speaker 3: to be dating other people while I get to know you.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, well, just so you know, I'm going
Speaker 3: to be dating other people. And that lasted like a week.
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is exhausting and I wasn't even dating
Speaker 3: that many.
Speaker 1: People as too.
Speaker 2: No, you definitely have to. Here's the thing. There is
Speaker 2: advice of all kinds out there about dating, regardless of
Speaker 2: being single forever having been married. You have to tailor
Speaker 2: it for yourself, and a lot of what Amy and
Speaker 2: I feel like we talked about the very beginning. I said,
Speaker 2: you have to find your comfort level, what makes sense
Speaker 2: for you and what you feel good about doing is
Speaker 2: going to make the dating process smoother no matter what
Speaker 2: phase you're in.
Speaker 3: And I will say, if you're coming out of a
Speaker 3: long relationship, like just make sure that you're in a
Speaker 3: place where you're feeling really happy with yourself and content.
Speaker 3: That I think was very helpful for me, and also
Speaker 3: not taking any of my baggage from that relationship into
Speaker 3: my next. That took a minute to get used to.
Speaker 3: Like my nervous system. I was used to some chaos,
Speaker 3: and I was like, if you had chaos in your
Speaker 3: last relationship, you might find if you find someone that
Speaker 3: isn't giving you that it might seem kind of boring,
Speaker 3: and it just pay attention to that. Oh wait, maybe
Speaker 3: this guy's not boring. Maybe this is just foreign to
Speaker 3: my nervous system. So give your nervous system a second
Speaker 3: to acclimate, and then you're like, oh wait, this isn't
Speaker 3: boring at all.
Speaker 1: This is actually good.
Speaker 3: Because then you might dismiss a guy that actually could
Speaker 3: be really good for you just because and it wasn't.
Speaker 3: I mean, beIN contributed to the chaos, but so did I.
Speaker 3: So I was used to it. So as both of us,
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to like pin it on Ben like
Speaker 3: he was complete chaos. But there's certain dynamics of our
Speaker 3: relationship we had allowed to become very chaotic, and that
Speaker 3: that was what I was, That's what was familiar. So
Speaker 3: when I encountered something not like that, I was like,
Speaker 3: what this is lame, But it was more subconscious, like
Speaker 3: I had to do some digging to figure out that's
Speaker 3: what was actually happening.
Speaker 2: Safety becomes the thing that you're more afraid of than
Speaker 2: the chaos, and that's a weird thing that you.
Speaker 1: Have to reverse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, unlearn, Will you have your.
Speaker 1: Boyfriend on your podcast? Which we did talk about a
Speaker 1: little bit, but I just want.
Speaker 3: To We did, and I think my initial response was no,
Speaker 3: And as we were talking, I was sort of having
Speaker 3: some thoughts like I don't want to say no. I
Speaker 3: know he wouldn't right now, but I do think with
Speaker 3: the story of losing his wife, he is very passionate
Speaker 3: about colon cancer awareness, and I would think that, I
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe next year. He does have a walk
Speaker 3: in Nashville every year that he puts on. It started
Speaker 3: with his wife when she was sick. They did the
Speaker 3: first one here with the Colon Cancer Coalition and I
Speaker 3: could see him potentially coming on to talk about that
Speaker 3: for awareness and then talking about some other things. But
Speaker 3: that's the only thing I could see him coming on for.
Speaker 3: And that's okay, right, Like that's where because I said
Speaker 3: no because he's not into that, But then I could
Speaker 3: I could see him being like, you know what, I
Speaker 3: would like to come and join you just so because
Speaker 3: if one person decides to go get a kolonosky or
Speaker 3: get tested because of something they heard us say, he
Speaker 3: would be like, Okay, yeah, that's worth coming on to
Speaker 3: talk about.
Speaker 2: H Yeah, I do think that would be a cool
Speaker 2: episode for you guys to have, especially for just awareness
Speaker 2: and draw want I think, yeah.
Speaker 3: Especially just because his wife, like he knows the story
Speaker 3: better than anybody because he he walked alongside her with it.
Speaker 3: But it's just the how young she was and how
Speaker 3: they just did not think it was colon cancer. That's
Speaker 3: why they put it off for so long, and she
Speaker 3: was just told it was heymorrhoids, and sure enough it
Speaker 3: was not. And it's that's something. Colon cancer if you
Speaker 3: can have the early detection is everything. It'll save your
Speaker 3: life and in her case, they just went too long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love to hear that podcast episode saday,
Speaker 2: I'll be rooting for that.
Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick break. I'll be right
Speaker 1: back with some.
Speaker 2: More listener questions. What is your favorite go to summer cocktail?
Speaker 2: Love you both renee from Iowa.
Speaker 3: My go to favorite summer cocktail. I haven't been drinking
Speaker 3: that much lately, but I guess I like a light
Speaker 3: something light.
Speaker 2: I like to think of.
Speaker 1: When you just said light. As I went to.
Speaker 2: Who is your favorite day, she says April twenty fifth,
Speaker 2: because all.
Speaker 1: You need is a line jacket. That's immediately where my
Speaker 1: mind was.
Speaker 3: That's her, miss congeniality, good Cloe.
Speaker 1: Sorry, please continue.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, a lot of people post that on April
Speaker 3: twenty fifth if it's their birthday, which that's just so
Speaker 3: Shearer's birthday too. I mean, I just like something like
Speaker 3: a like a Tito's vodka with some lime and maybe
Speaker 3: a splash of cranberry or something in a cute cup.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, those are yummy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like you haven't done any cranberry drinks since
Speaker 2: college though, just the cranberry was ruined for me in college.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was.
Speaker 2: Young and I didn't know a lot of drinks. And
Speaker 2: so you always ordered a cranberry vodka and I just
Speaker 2: it ruined it for you.
Speaker 1: That would be a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So most of the time all I love going to
Speaker 2: a cocktail bar where they don't have a menu and
Speaker 2: you just tell them what you like, because they'll make
Speaker 2: me a vodka with berry and it's very refreshing because
Speaker 2: those are my kind of two favorite ingredients is a
Speaker 2: Teeto's and berries of any kind.
Speaker 3: Not cran.
Speaker 2: Listen these places, they do like the blueberry and raspberry
Speaker 2: and BlackBerry, those kind of berries, strawberry. I'll do all
Speaker 2: the other berries if you mix s cranberry cool, but
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: Not be the only thing. This can't be the main star.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Probably also because I was drinking really trash vodka with
Speaker 2: like crambish and spray. Yeah, horrible things, but those are
Speaker 2: always really good.
Speaker 1: And then if I'm on a boat.
Speaker 2: My favorite and it's, oh my gosh, it's so fun
Speaker 2: to get this is always the summer shandies. Those were
Speaker 2: really popular for a really long time. There would beer,
Speaker 2: but they have berry flavored two of those.
Speaker 1: I'm just a berry girl. Yeah.
Speaker 3: On my Instagram, we talked about this on the last thing.
Speaker 3: My hard launch post. Yeah, if you go back, it's
Speaker 3: the picture I posted to me at my boyfriend and
Speaker 3: you swipe. I posted a drink that we got in
Speaker 3: Charleston called the Parakeet and it was so good, and
Speaker 3: my boyfriend emailed the hotel and said, I would love
Speaker 3: the recipe for parakeet or how do we make it?
Speaker 3: Because it's so good, And they emailed them back and
Speaker 3: they're like, hey, here's the whole breakdown, and it's a
Speaker 3: it's a blanco tequila, bay leaf, peppercorn, lime, and I
Speaker 3: don't know a bunch of ingredients that I'm not totally
Speaker 3: sure about. So this would be something if you're having
Speaker 3: a party or you know, you might actually really like this,
Speaker 3: which I will say is one of the best drinks
Speaker 3: that I've ever had. He ordered it and I ordered
Speaker 3: something different, and I was jealous of his order, and
Speaker 3: you know, we made a little who knows if we'll
Speaker 3: actually get married, but you know, when you're dating somebody
Speaker 3: who kind of talk about it and we're like, oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, like if we would serve this the parakeet,
Speaker 3: we would have the parakeet on like our wedding menu.
Speaker 1: You little drink menus.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I know, but it's also I mean, also,
Speaker 3: we've been dating for eight months.
Speaker 1: Has it been that long?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Wow, m hm, that feels crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: At this point in my last relationship, I was already
Speaker 3: married because I married Ben within six months.
Speaker 1: You know, we are taking about you fast.
Speaker 3: We are taking it slow people.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: And also in that same post, next to the after
Speaker 3: the parakeet cocktail recipe, I have the best salad ever recipe.
Speaker 3: And this was a restaurant we went to in Charleston,
Speaker 3: which I just got a DM from a listener that's
Speaker 3: going to Charleston in a couple of weeks, and she
Speaker 3: was asking me what restaurants to go to, and this
Speaker 3: is Lowland Restaurant and the server just told us what
Speaker 3: was in the salad. I don't know the measurements, but
Speaker 3: it's celery, mint dates, walnuts, white cheddar, and a sherry vinigarette.
Speaker 3: So I don't know, play around with the measurements there.
Speaker 3: I still haven't made this, but I but I want
Speaker 3: to all those ingredients mixed together. I would have never
Speaker 3: ordered this salad ever, and because I mean, I'm just
Speaker 3: like a celery salad.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: But the our server said no, people come here for this,
Speaker 3: and I said, like, just for this, and she said yes,
Speaker 3: and I said, okay, then sign me up and we
Speaker 3: got it and I I took a picture of it
Speaker 3: and like then asked the server. So those two recipes,
Speaker 3: they're on my Instagram radio Amy. If you want to
Speaker 3: go to that post and you'll see the parcete cocktail
Speaker 3: and the best salad ever.
Speaker 2: Well, get both of all the ingredients when you go
Speaker 2: to the store for these things.
Speaker 3: But the cocktail, these are ingredients like I don't know,
Speaker 3: like you probably have to go to like a liquor store.
Speaker 3: This is not stuff that I'm used to seeing. Like
Speaker 3: even the when they emailed him, yeah, they said, we
Speaker 3: included the recipe here below, as well as a couple
Speaker 3: of links to the less common liqueurs used in the recipes.
Speaker 3: So there might be stuff you have to order, but ah,
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, wherever those are big words, be a
Speaker 3: good summer cocktail.
Speaker 1: The parakeet.
Speaker 2: The parakeet along with the sherry vinegar salad, celery salad,
Speaker 2: and the celery salad.
Speaker 3: But those are two different locations. The parakeet was from
Speaker 3: the Citrus Club and the celery salad was from Lowland
Speaker 3: and then yeah, if you don't want to get complicated
Speaker 3: at all, then just have my Teeto's soda lime and
Speaker 3: cranberry with.
Speaker 1: A little splash.
Speaker 2: If you come to Nashville and you want to go
Speaker 2: to a cocktail place where you don't have to think
Speaker 2: and you can just order at a Boy, it's a
Speaker 2: really cool cocktail lown Sheer in Nashville over in East
Speaker 2: and they make really bomb drinks. I never had a
Speaker 2: bad drink there. And they don't have a menu, which
Speaker 2: is pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Attaboy doesn't have a menu.
Speaker 2: No, you just go and tell them what you like
Speaker 2: and then they make it for you.
Speaker 3: It's a pressure of the bartenders.
Speaker 1: I know, but they're so good.
Speaker 2: They're so good. Are y'all both really bad drivers? Or
Speaker 2: do the guys react?
Speaker 3: They overreact?
Speaker 2: Taking from Alabama, that last one was from Renee and
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've.
Speaker 1: Said all the names, but yeah, this one's from Nicky
Speaker 1: in Alabama.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they overreact, right, Yeah, I mean, listen, is there
Speaker 2: moments where I could do better paying attention because a
Speaker 2: lot of happening in my life. Of course, I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna say I'm perfect, but I'm not a bad driver.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't feel like you are either. I
Speaker 1: would ride in a car.
Speaker 3: With you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I know they exaggerate everything everything, well not everything everything. No,
Speaker 3: I mean we all can yeah kind of what we do.
Speaker 3: But there's whatever. I'm I'm a good driver.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, I've seen Lunchbox going fast in the parking garage.
Speaker 2: We've heard stories of Eddie having road rage. So like,
Speaker 2: why do is it pimpit on us? Why does it
Speaker 2: on hind point?
Speaker 1: I try to pitpoint.
Speaker 2: I think I don't know, Amy, my brain is not working.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: They just pick on us.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, so no, Nikki, they over react, all right, Amy.
Speaker 1: Improv class update from Ali.
Speaker 3: Well I'm done that the course is over. It only
Speaker 3: lasts eight weeks. But I had to miss more classes
Speaker 3: than I thought, so I didn't get a graduation certificate.
Speaker 1: Well, mom, he's gonna graduate from improv.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was just because we had to do
Speaker 3: some traveling and so that part's sad, but I loved it.
Speaker 3: I just wished the classes weren't three hours long.
Speaker 1: Yeah, can you go for like half a hour?
Speaker 3: Most places? I look, it's like every class is three hours.
Speaker 3: But I will continue just practicing stuff on my own
Speaker 3: or doing little improv exercises with myself.
Speaker 2: You can make the kids start participating with me.
Speaker 3: The activities with them.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's fun. You can tell you maybe you make.
Speaker 2: An improv version of pictionary and then you can have
Speaker 2: game night and it's improv we can.
Speaker 3: Yes, there are ways to incorporate it into my everyday life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that is a tough part.
Speaker 2: I've been thinking of joining a volleyball sand volleyball league
Speaker 2: and also a softball league, and honestly, I would love to.
Speaker 2: I would love to play sports again. But then I
Speaker 2: think about my life and that at least once a
Speaker 2: week I would have to dedicate two hours to doing
Speaker 2: this and if I not, I'd have to find a
Speaker 2: sub is a whole thing like and then I think
Speaker 2: about Lunchbox and every week he plays soccer and he's
Speaker 2: done this for years and it's just.
Speaker 1: A I just think about how I fit.
Speaker 2: That into my life of busyness that I have going on,
Speaker 2: and like that where that fits on the top of howl?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you just have to look at like
Speaker 3: how much is it going to drain you or how
Speaker 3: much is it going to fill up your tank because
Speaker 3: if like that two hours is life giving to you,
Speaker 3: then you should totally do it, I know.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing as an adult that you have
Speaker 2: to figure out, right, all right, last question here, favorite
Speaker 2: self tanner from Kate.
Speaker 3: Oh, there's a few good ones, but I like loving tan. Okay,
Speaker 3: that is a good one.
Speaker 1: I've been trying to find two things. I've been trying
Speaker 1: to find clean versions of.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's clean I'm trying to find.
Speaker 3: I gave up on the clean tanner. I've decided. Also,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to do like ten minutes out in the
Speaker 3: sun a day to build my skin, to get my
Speaker 3: skin ready for summer vacation because we're going to go
Speaker 3: on a trip in July. And normally I just sit
Speaker 3: under an umbrella because I will get red. And I decided,
Speaker 3: if I just go out ten minutes no sunscreen I want.
Speaker 3: I always am lathered up in sunscreen. But this is
Speaker 3: just so that my body can absorb vitamin D. So
Speaker 3: that's why I'm doing no longer than ten minutes, and
Speaker 3: then my skin can get used to seeing the sun
Speaker 3: because it's so not used to seeing the sun.
Speaker 1: When it sees the.
Speaker 3: Sun, Like I'm pretty convinced right now. That's why I
Speaker 3: have little bumps on my arm is my ten minutes
Speaker 3: because my skin's like what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: This is weird.
Speaker 3: But I'm trying it out, trying it out, just like
Speaker 3: build things up because I'm like, Okay, I'm staying out
Speaker 3: of the sun because I don't want to get skin cancer.
Speaker 3: But I'm putting all these chemicals on my body and
Speaker 3: who knows what I'm absorbing in you know that way.
Speaker 3: So it's like there's no wind, pick your poison, you know,
Speaker 3: and I'd rather go with the god given one. So
Speaker 3: I'm trying to get a little more sun for a
Speaker 3: little more natural color. I mean, but Morgan, look I've
Speaker 3: been doing it, and look how pasty white my legs are.
Speaker 3: And that is ten minutes a day for the last week.
Speaker 2: I feel you trust me. I am like Robert Pattinson
Speaker 2: a trial life. You put me outside ice sparkle, But
Speaker 2: I keep.
Speaker 3: Waiting like when it why is not? Why don't we
Speaker 3: feel confident? Pale?
Speaker 1: Like what what changed?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: Who who said we need to be tan?
Speaker 1: But I like it.
Speaker 3: I feel like sometimes a spray tan will or a
Speaker 3: self tan at home, it will. It changes my entire mood,
Speaker 3: Like you know those memes that you see people do
Speaker 3: where it's like, oh, I thought I was depressed and
Speaker 3: then I got a spray tan. The whole world open.
Speaker 1: But I feel so much more confident and it's tan.
Speaker 2: And to your point, it's because something about being pale
Speaker 2: has been put in my brain is bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we need to undo that because look how
Speaker 3: beautiful like Nicole Kidman, she has like this beautiful pale
Speaker 3: porcelain skin and we're not like.
Speaker 2: Oh, you know, where I think some of mine comes
Speaker 2: from has always been the if you can't tone it,
Speaker 2: tan it, because they are all right, like if you do
Speaker 2: tan something, you do feel better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that having the color like
Speaker 3: you do, you just feel better. Like even on my face,
Speaker 3: like if I get a spray tan, it's like, oh
Speaker 3: I don't I wear less makeup, It's like, oh I'm tan.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what show was that Dallas? That girl on
Speaker 3: that show? It was a rally show and they lived
Speaker 3: in Dallas. And she's the one that said it.
Speaker 1: I can't remember.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she'd say if you can't when maybe somebody else
Speaker 3: said it first. But that's the first person I remember
Speaker 3: saying it, and yeah, she was you can't tone it
Speaker 3: tant Courtney. Her name is Courtney.
Speaker 2: Okay, do you know what show I'm talking about? Oh,
Speaker 2: I don't think I've heard of the show. It was
Speaker 2: a Dallas reality show.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Was it on MTV or Bravo.
Speaker 3: Probably Bravo if I had to guess.
Speaker 1: Like Real Housewives of Dallas or something, is there a Dallas.
Speaker 3: Housewives something like that? But I mean I think there was.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I ever watched that one. I
Speaker 3: feel like this is just like a different group of friends.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, you finished time on your favorite self shanner
Speaker 2: o court me.
Speaker 3: If you can't tone it, tan it because it'll it'll
Speaker 3: come up. So Loving Tan I like, I like Tanceuticals.
Speaker 3: That's like a pink bottle. The Loving Tan is a
Speaker 3: silver bottle.
Speaker 1: I got some weird things probably up over here. Keep going.
Speaker 3: I like, Oh, there's like Coco. Let me see the
Speaker 3: Coco Coco.
Speaker 1: Well over here, google Coco and Eve.
Speaker 3: Cocoa and Eve is a tanning brand that I like. Like, honestly,
Speaker 3: I would just go see what is on sale or
Speaker 3: what is a better price point for you? But those
Speaker 3: are three that come to mind right now that I
Speaker 3: literally have in my closet. Oh, santro Pe in my
Speaker 3: closet like I have my self tanning closet. I have
Speaker 3: santo pe, loving tan, cocoa and Eve. And what's the
Speaker 3: other one? I said, tan suticles. Also there's another one
Speaker 3: that Miley Cyrus invested in and I ordered it, but
Speaker 3: I haven't like loved the at home some. If you
Speaker 3: get a spray tan from a company, they carry this one,
Speaker 3: and that's a good one to get if they want
Speaker 3: to do it.
Speaker 1: Do you see what is it called dultceake Low, Yes,
Speaker 1: Diltja glow.
Speaker 3: I have bought the Dulce glow that they sell where
Speaker 3: you can do an at home tan, and I haven't
Speaker 3: loved it as much. But it's supposed to your your
Speaker 3: skin gets really dry when you self tan, and whatever
Speaker 3: is in that there's something in it like a hyaluronic
Speaker 3: acid or something that helps you not get as dry.
Speaker 3: But okay, because it's another thing too, like I feel
Speaker 3: like all the self tanner I'm doing, I'm aging my
Speaker 3: skin and I'm scared of going out into the sun
Speaker 3: and I'm aging it there. So which one? What do
Speaker 3: we want.
Speaker 2: I know, and to my understanding, more natural the better.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. You know, we're learning over here.
Speaker 3: Easy for all the all of tan people to say.
Speaker 1: I trust me.
Speaker 2: I know. I told you I sparkle like a vampire.
Speaker 2: I totally understand the pain and I'm here in it
Speaker 2: with you. This is why we're talking about self tanner.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you should be good with any of those
Speaker 3: that I just said.
Speaker 2: And if you can't done it apparently, and I still
Speaker 2: don't know where it came from.
Speaker 1: I did a lot of googling, and I found a
Speaker 1: lot of parties. I said, Okay, court Courte, I can
Speaker 1: you know what we can't blame.
Speaker 2: What we can do is blame Coke Oshanelle for the
Speaker 2: tan because she is the one who has roots in
Speaker 2: the early twentieth century when Coco Shanell famously popularized the
Speaker 2: tan in the West.
Speaker 1: So there is that, So shout out Coco.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I remember the that being the origin story. Okay,
Speaker 3: So the reality showed Dallas. What's called Dallas features the
Speaker 3: quote if you can't tone it, tan it, and it's
Speaker 3: associated with Courtney. In the tanning industry, the quote is
Speaker 3: often used to express the preference for tanning as a
Speaker 3: way to enhance one's appearance. In twenty eleven, Courtney, who
Speaker 3: was part of the Rally Show, also expressed a humorous
Speaker 3: take on tanning taxes, the quote, if you can't tone
Speaker 3: it tan it's what well, what are the taxes out
Speaker 3: on that part? But okay, there you have it. The
Speaker 3: show was called Dallas.
Speaker 1: I definitely never heard about, but this is funny.
