Speaker 1: Okay, it's Amy and we are back with another Sunday sampler.
Speaker 1: It's clips from some of the podcasts that came out
Speaker 1: this week on the Nashville Podcast Network. On the Bobby Cast,
Speaker 1: Bobby sat down with comedic legend Tom Green. Tom talks
Speaker 1: about how he pushed the envelope when he hosted Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Live. He talks about the Bum Bum Song, his
Speaker 1: new documentary that's out about his life, and so much more.
Speaker 1: On my podcast four Things with Amy Brown, I sit
Speaker 1: down with my dermatologist and we talk about skincare myths,
Speaker 1: the truth behind beauty, sleep, and how often we should
Speaker 1: be showering and even washing our hair. Also whether stress
Speaker 1: can cause hair loss like for real for real? And
Speaker 1: collagen supplements are they any good? This week's episode of
Speaker 1: In the Vets Office is all about cats. Doctor Josie
Speaker 1: is joined by one of her former Vets school classmates
Speaker 1: and friend, doctor Bean, and they're answering all kinds of things.
Speaker 1: Should I be worried about hairballs? Why is my cat
Speaker 1: peeing outside of its litter box? And what is making
Speaker 1: biscuits really mean? So we're gonna get started with that one.
Speaker 1: Here's a clip from this Week's in the Vets Office
Speaker 1: with doctor Josie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're listening to in the Vets Office with doctor
Speaker 2: Josie Horshak.
Speaker 3: I have a lot of clients that say, Okay, I
Speaker 3: can't get my cat to stop jumping on my counters.
Speaker 4: What do I do?
Speaker 5: So, I mean, my cat does not jump on the counter.
Speaker 6: Is cheese perfect?
Speaker 5: So I think it's you know, it's a training issue.
Speaker 7: I think you'll try to obviously discourage it when they
Speaker 7: are jumping up the kind of a couple of tricks
Speaker 7: that I'll recommend to people. Cats in general are very tactile.
Speaker 7: They based a lot of their decisions on how things feel.
Speaker 7: So putting like double sided tape on the countertop or
Speaker 7: like aluminum foil. Sometimes saran wrap also works. They hate
Speaker 7: how that feels, so they'll usually and immediately jump off.
Speaker 7: And so the hope is that they just learned that
Speaker 7: they just don't jump up there because it feels weird
Speaker 7: for them.
Speaker 6: And it's like dogs where you start.
Speaker 3: If you start them young as a kitten, hopefully they
Speaker 3: don't develop that bad habit.
Speaker 7: With all behaviors cats and dogs start them young. Trim
Speaker 7: their nails young if you can. Yeah, get any sort
Speaker 7: of behavior shoes kind of sorted as early as possible
Speaker 7: is going to be your best way to get it sorted.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I do get it. I think you
Speaker 3: know your cats are going into their litter boxes or
Speaker 3: peeing and pooping, and then if they're like walking across
Speaker 3: your kitchen counter, it's probably not the best thing in
Speaker 3: the world. So that is fair. Zala doesn't jump on
Speaker 3: your kitchen counter at all?
Speaker 4: No, wow, at all?
Speaker 3: You were a strict cat daddy.
Speaker 7: I mean I would say I'm not. I am not
Speaker 7: tempted by their their tricks. You know, cats and dogs.
Speaker 7: I see them begging for food, I see them asking
Speaker 7: fricks or things. You have to be you have to
Speaker 7: be stronger.
Speaker 5: You have to be stronger totally.
Speaker 3: I think having some structure is a really good thing
Speaker 3: sets you up for success. What do you think about
Speaker 3: keeping cats on flea, tick and heartworm prevention all ye round,
Speaker 3: Especially my clients will say, my cat doesn't go outside
Speaker 3: their indoors. Only do I really need to do that?
Speaker 5: This is a tough one. I know. I'm going to
Speaker 5: be very honest.
Speaker 7: I think you know, if you go to your vet,
Speaker 7: your vet is probably going to recommend this is my
Speaker 7: cat on flee in tick.
Speaker 1: She is not.
Speaker 7: I kind of explain it to people, Hey, it's all
Speaker 7: about how you manage risk and how comfortable you are
Speaker 7: with risk. Can I say that it's impossible that your
Speaker 7: cat will get fleas if they're indoor only, It's not impossible.
Speaker 7: I've definitely seen cats get flees when they're indoor only.
Speaker 5: Is it likely play not likely.
Speaker 7: So if you're a person that wants no risk, you
Speaker 7: want to make sure you're covered, then I would definitely
Speaker 7: stay on flee in tick. If you're somebody that's like,
Speaker 7: you know, a little ambiguity is fine, I can manage it.
Speaker 7: If it comes along, then you may not have to
Speaker 7: put them on flee Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think that's a good, really good point. Also too,
Speaker 3: like depending on where you live, Like being is in
Speaker 3: downtown Chicago and a high rise, it gets very very
Speaker 3: cold there in the winter, I feel like you don't
Speaker 3: see as many fleas, like down here in the South
Speaker 3: in Nashville, we see so many fleas. And I think
Speaker 3: if you have like cats, and you have dogs in
Speaker 3: the house or other pets, you know, if they're going
Speaker 3: outside at all, then having them on prevention makes a
Speaker 3: lot of sense. But yeah, if you're in like New
Speaker 3: York City or Chicago and you're living on the twentieth floor,
Speaker 3: the risk of them not being on prevention is pretty low.
Speaker 7: Pros and cons with each side. I think if they
Speaker 7: have like a skin disease, I'll always recommend being on
Speaker 7: free prevention at least for a month or two, just
Speaker 7: in case cats. A lot of times you will not
Speaker 7: see fleas on a cats. They groom themselves so so well,
Speaker 7: and so I've had cases where we work them up
Speaker 7: for allergies or other causes for itching and scratching, and
Speaker 7: you do special diets, you do medications, you spend it
Speaker 7: to a specialist, and it was just a flea all
Speaker 7: that time, and it's like, just put them on sleep
Speaker 7: prevention and initially to see if it works, because that's
Speaker 7: such an easy fix for kind of what I would
Speaker 7: call a stupid problem. Yeah, and can save people a
Speaker 7: lot of time and money.
Speaker 3: It's funny how you say that, Like dogs will see
Speaker 3: them come in with fleas and it's so obvious they're
Speaker 3: crawling in fleas, And then a cat comes in and
Speaker 3: they are so meticulous, they've like plucked each tiny little
Speaker 3: flea off and so you don't always know.
Speaker 7: Oh no, and usually you never know. Usually you don't
Speaker 7: see them. That's why I think, always if we're having
Speaker 7: a skin problem sort of, flea prevention is always a
Speaker 7: smart idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like twenty bucks and maybe thirty bucks now
Speaker 3: and covers your bases and can definitely save you a
Speaker 3: lot of time and money if that's what it is. Okay,
Speaker 3: what do you think about My favorite thing in the
Speaker 3: entire world, which is when cats make biscuits?
Speaker 5: Is everyone's favorite things.
Speaker 8: I love when they're in the bikery.
Speaker 7: No, she now, it's it warms your heart. When a
Speaker 7: cat decides for the first time that they want to
Speaker 7: make biscuits on you. It's like they have decided they
Speaker 7: love you, they care about you. And that's why iley
Speaker 7: cats of the dogs, I feel like a dog. Most dogs,
Speaker 7: you give a treat, they love you forever. A cat,
Speaker 7: you really have to work for them to love you,
Speaker 7: and when they love you back, it is like nothing.
Speaker 3: Else, like you won the lottery. Oh you've been chosen.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you have been chosen. And so when they make biscuits,
Speaker 7: you know, I think there's a couple theories out there
Speaker 7: I think some one time I read that as kitts,
Speaker 7: they do it to like stimulate milk production in their
Speaker 7: mom so they you know, maybe they feel like you're
Speaker 7: a parental figure. They love you, They're comfortable, they want
Speaker 7: to kind of get a nice comfortable spot going because
Speaker 7: I feel like sometimes my cat can make biscuits for
Speaker 7: like twenty thirty minutes, really not long, and I say,
Speaker 7: we get enough biscuits. We have too many biscuits. Now
Speaker 7: we made too many.
Speaker 4: Who's gonna eat all these biscuits?
Speaker 5: Exactly?
Speaker 3: That is crazy twenty thirty minutes.
Speaker 9: I didn't know that.
Speaker 5: Oh she'll she can go. I've seen cats can go
Speaker 5: for a long time.
Speaker 3: Wow, just working away in the bakery, just making biscuits.
Speaker 3: Oh there's nothing cute or oh I love it. I
Speaker 3: need you just send me a picture of Zalda making biscuits.
Speaker 5: I have videos I'll show you after this.
Speaker 3: On your chest making them, yeah, like on your chest.
Speaker 7: On your ab, demand on your back, like wherever they
Speaker 7: want to do.
Speaker 5: Cat's do do whatever.
Speaker 3: I wish I could have a cat.
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 3: I as everyone knows, I have three dogs and my
Speaker 3: husband is like deathly allergic. I would have to literally
Speaker 3: get rid of him in order to have a cat.
Speaker 7: I mean, I love him, I love your husband, but
Speaker 7: I mean I like cats a lot too, So I
Speaker 7: don't know.
Speaker 5: I'd have to think about it.
Speaker 3: It depends on the day. Some days I'm like, get out,
Speaker 3: give me the cats.
Speaker 10: I will say.
Speaker 7: There.
Speaker 3: One thing that we haven't talked about is there is
Speaker 3: a diet out there that Purina makes clear, Live Clear
Speaker 3: something like that, and the cats eat it. And one
Speaker 3: of like the main sources of allergens and cats comes
Speaker 3: from their saliva and their dander, and it's supposed to
Speaker 3: kind of like change that so that if you do
Speaker 3: have allergies, you're less allergic to the cats. I've had
Speaker 3: some owners say it works.
Speaker 5: I've had some oilers say it works.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I always tell owners, you know, we don't have any studies.
Speaker 7: We don't have any like research that proves this, I think,
Speaker 7: but I've had owners try and they think it works
Speaker 7: and they're happy with it.
Speaker 5: So hey, if it works, yeah, great.
Speaker 4: Definitely worth a shot.
Speaker 3: I think the big thing for me is like, if
Speaker 3: you know you're highly allergic, you probably shouldn't get a
Speaker 3: cat because then you're just gonna have to end up
Speaker 3: rehoming it. If you already have the cat and you're
Speaker 3: experiencing allergies, great, like this is a great option to
Speaker 3: try live clear pirina. Look at us, we're plugging again.
Speaker 4: Someone sponsor us? Thanks my god.
Speaker 12: Who do you hear from? Is it somebody an executive
Speaker 12: at MTV? Do they call whomever's now managing and representing you?
Speaker 12: How quick does all of that happen? And what's like
Speaker 12: the board?
Speaker 13: I don't know.
Speaker 12: You walk into a business room, like the cliche thing.
Speaker 12: There's all these chairs and they offer you the big
Speaker 12: deal you've been waiting for, Like, what really happened?
Speaker 13: I've got a pretty hilarious story about that. I don't
Speaker 13: know if I'll see if I can paint the picture properly.
Speaker 13: So well, first of all, what happened was I was
Speaker 13: the show was now kind of popular in Canada enough
Speaker 13: that I got invited on the one talk show we
Speaker 13: had in Canada at the time. It was called Uh
Speaker 13: Mike Bullard was the name of the host. He just
Speaker 13: passed away, Rest in peace, Mike. He was a very
Speaker 13: funny guy. He gave kind of gave me a did
Speaker 13: me a solid there. He'd have us on his show.
Speaker 13: And I'd go on and do some you know, goofy
Speaker 13: thing that I probably you know, like I was talking
Speaker 13: about earlier, I probably you know, regret doing, but you
Speaker 13: know it was uh, you know, I would go on
Speaker 13: with the bags of milk and we have milk comes
Speaker 13: in bags in Canada, which is strange, but anyways, pop
Speaker 13: milk bags and milk would fly everywhere and the microphone
Speaker 13: would break and all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 9: But his manager.
Speaker 13: Was there, who's from Los Angeles also since passed away.
Speaker 13: He's in the documentary. His name's Howard Lapedis and he
Speaker 13: he uh, he represented uh, Jimmy Kimmel, who was not
Speaker 13: you know, he was on radio at the time, and
Speaker 13: Carson Dally who was on TRL, and Norm McDonald and
Speaker 13: also Doctor Drew and Adam Carolla who were doing Loveline
Speaker 13: on MTV. So Howard was in the MTV universe and
Speaker 13: he brought the show there and that's kind of how
Speaker 13: we got the initial meeting to do the pitch of
Speaker 13: the show. So they saw the few tapes that he
Speaker 13: showed them and then they flew us. They flew me
Speaker 13: down to Los Angeles and probably twenty seven or twenty
Speaker 13: eight years old, and put me up in the Maundry
Speaker 13: on Okay, which is the most Los Angeles feeling place
Speaker 13: to be. He's sort of modern, you know, Artsy Hotel
Speaker 13: furthest thing from Ottawa, and it's right beside the House
Speaker 13: of Blues, which is no longer there, but the House
Speaker 13: of Blues they had these pitch meetings every year for
Speaker 13: MTV and they bring all the producers and writers into
Speaker 13: come out, and you have a in front of the
Speaker 13: MTV executives and the top executive there was Brian Graiden,
Speaker 13: who I did not know who anyone was, but he was.
Speaker 13: He was the one who ultimately signed the show. But
Speaker 13: and so they had told me they had seen four
Speaker 13: or five or they had seen a bunch of our
Speaker 13: tapes now at this point, and they had sort of
Speaker 13: directed me play this one, this one, this one. Come,
Speaker 13: you're gonna come out. You're gonna play these four tapes
Speaker 13: and then and then talk a bit about the show.
Speaker 13: And so there's this thing I used to do, which
Speaker 13: again I put it in the documentary, so I should
Speaker 13: probably not be embarrassed to say it, but I used
Speaker 13: to kind of for a gag, I would suck melcout
Speaker 13: of Cow's utters. You know, it was just it was
Speaker 13: just a gag.
Speaker 14: It was just a gag.
Speaker 13: But and they said, don't don't play that one though,
Speaker 13: don't play that one. That's so But I just was
Speaker 13: such a idiot, I guess that I you know, they
Speaker 13: literally told me to make a VHS tape and put
Speaker 13: this tape on where you paint your parents house, the
Speaker 13: one where you love the crutches and you're falling down
Speaker 13: on the street on the crutches, and the one where
Speaker 13: you go in the pharmacy and try to buy condoms.
Speaker 13: Play those three, but don't play the cow utter one.
Speaker 13: And I was so sort of sure that now we
Speaker 13: need a gross out one. You know, we need to
Speaker 13: have a balance here, you know, it's very important to
Speaker 13: me that we have a balance. So I still put
Speaker 13: that one on the tape, and I came out and
Speaker 13: I did my.
Speaker 14: Big speech and.
Speaker 13: It was actually like quite, it wasn't cut complete idiocy,
Speaker 13: like it was thought through, like I did say in
Speaker 13: the speech. You know in the pitch, you know, you
Speaker 13: know that this is shot on home video cameras and
Speaker 13: looks raw and it looks rough, and because I'm a
Speaker 13: skateboarder and skateboarders are doing this now, like this kind
Speaker 13: of thing, and it'll be relatable. And so I really
Speaker 13: did kind of tried to explain why it looked the
Speaker 13: way it looked, and then I played everything, and then
Speaker 13: I played the cow utter thing. Of course, the room
Speaker 13: was went nuts because it was disgusting, right, and but
Speaker 13: and funny, it's really funny that, you know, dressed as
Speaker 13: Captain Kirk or something like that, squirting mel call over
Speaker 13: my face. But but then I had brought a backpack
Speaker 13: with me, and in the backpack I had a couple
Speaker 13: of cans of shaving cream and I just, for whatever reason, decided,
Speaker 13: after I do that, I'm, you know, while everyone's freaking
Speaker 13: out about the cow atter sucking, I'm going to lie
Speaker 13: down on the boardroom table in front of everyone and
Speaker 13: spray shaving cream all over my face and screamed that
Speaker 13: I want to be on MTV. So I did that,
Speaker 13: and everyone's going.
Speaker 9: What the hell's this kid?
Speaker 13: And I took the shaving cream and I walked up
Speaker 13: to the guy who looked like he was in charge,
Speaker 13: and I put some on his face, and then I
Speaker 13: just walked out. I was Brian Graydon and then I
Speaker 13: walked out of the room and the guy had been
Speaker 13: kind of coaching me to do the to do the pitch,
Speaker 13: so you know, called me and it was laughing so
Speaker 13: that you put shaving cream on my boss's face. But
Speaker 13: they called the next day and they picked up the
Speaker 13: show next day. Yeah, yeah, and they and I remember
Speaker 13: going down the elevator with Howard Lapitas and he said,
Speaker 13: that was the craziest best pitch I've ever seen. I
Speaker 13: did never.
Speaker 14: I had never pitched anything before.
Speaker 13: I didn't know what a pitch was. But uh, naivety,
Speaker 13: I guess kind of is good sometimes, but uh and
Speaker 13: then uh and then they literally I was moved to
Speaker 13: They got me an apartment in New York City and
Speaker 13: we moved down to New York. We took all our
Speaker 13: tapes and which were hundreds and hundreds of tapes, and
Speaker 13: immediately they began sort of working and packaging these tapes,
Speaker 13: and they built a studio for us in Times Square
Speaker 13: right beside where they do TRL and that was I
Speaker 13: was at the first ten episodes were just old clips
Speaker 13: from the from the Canadian show repackaged with the new studio.
Speaker 15: Good Cass Up Road, Little Food for Yourself, Life, Oh,
Speaker 15: it's pretty bad.
Speaker 9: It's pretty beautiful, beautiful laugh.
Speaker 11: A little more exciting, said, he can cut your kicking
Speaker 11: with full with Amy Brown, do.
Speaker 1: You spend a lot of time learning about the gut
Speaker 1: and is that something you recommend? Obviously you have topical
Speaker 1: things and different treatments for your patients, but sometimes do
Speaker 1: you have a conversation of Okay, what are we eating?
Speaker 16: Absolutely, one hundred percent. It wasn't actually covered that much
Speaker 16: back in the day when we were in med school,
Speaker 16: because they were looking at the body as different systems.
Speaker 16: You know, you have skin, you have gut, you have
Speaker 16: your kidneys, your liver. But now there's an emphasis on
Speaker 16: how you can tie this all together. And research has
Speaker 16: shown that there's certain foods that are pro inflammatory for
Speaker 16: certain conditions. So, for example, let's say someone has roseatia,
Speaker 16: which is rennous of the cheeks. We know that there
Speaker 16: are certain foods that can make it worse. Alcohol, caffeine,
Speaker 16: so anything like coffee and so forth, spicy foods, and
Speaker 16: this varies on the person, so each person may have
Speaker 16: a different response. I have some patients who have acne,
Speaker 16: and if they eat let's say a lot of sugars
Speaker 16: during Christmas, time, they will break out immediately. We're learning
Speaker 16: more about dairy. Dairy is still kind of like in flux.
Speaker 16: Some people have maybe an intolerance to gluten, to cern
Speaker 16: types of diets. So I think it's important to know
Speaker 16: your body and the best way to do it is actually,
Speaker 16: for example, cut out alcohol for three weeks or two
Speaker 16: weeks and see hiw your skin response. You'll be surprised.
Speaker 16: Cut out certain types of sweets, you know, and you
Speaker 16: will see a difference in your skin.
Speaker 1: As a doctor, do you have strong thoughts about alcohol,
Speaker 1: because I feel like earlier in the year, I know
Speaker 1: it's still on February, but I believe it's early January,
Speaker 1: the Surgeon General came out talking about how there should
Speaker 1: be a warning label on all alcohol for cancer. I
Speaker 1: know that's not your specialty, but when it comes to aging,
Speaker 1: because like we've always heard, well one glass of wine
Speaker 1: a day.
Speaker 4: Keeps the doctor away, or it's good for your heart.
Speaker 1: And looking at the body as a whole, do you
Speaker 1: find that heavier drinkers tend to look older than they are.
Speaker 16: You know, when you drink alcohol, it actually causes a
Speaker 16: lot of oxidation. Oxidation leads to inflammation. Inflammation is honestly
Speaker 16: what causes all these issues. So for example, when we
Speaker 16: look at patients, let's have a heart disease, let's just
Speaker 16: go out of the skin, go to the heart for
Speaker 16: a second. Heart disease is actually a form of inflammation.
Speaker 16: It is nothing different than perhaps what's going on with
Speaker 16: roseatia with your face. Now you can argue that you know,
Speaker 16: certain types of alcohol like red wine, for example, may
Speaker 16: help for people with heart disease because it thins or
Speaker 16: blood out. So if you drink alcohol, you're less likely
Speaker 16: to clot, so therefore you're less likely to have a
Speaker 16: heart attack.
Speaker 6: But that's like.
Speaker 16: Maybe a glass of wine here or there. But yes,
Speaker 16: heavier drinkers put a lot of stress in the liver,
Speaker 16: and the liver is what's responsible for clearing all the toxins.
Speaker 16: And if we're not careful, over time, your liver becomes
Speaker 16: less efficient. When you're younger, I mean, you can do
Speaker 16: whatever you want to and your body can respond down
Speaker 16: the road. It's like if you get injured, it takes
Speaker 16: longer to heal if you have a cut to skin,
Speaker 16: if you're like ten years old versus fifty, big difference
Speaker 16: in the healing time. The scarring So.
Speaker 1: That's why as I have aged one margarita with my friends,
Speaker 1: you know, on a Tuesday night Wednesday impacts me, or
Speaker 1: maybe a Friday night. But I'm just giving an example
Speaker 1: of I wake up the next day feeling way different
Speaker 1: than I did if I had a margarita a long
Speaker 1: time ago.
Speaker 16: Absolutely, standing with sleep before, you might be able to
Speaker 16: be up and work late next day still be functional.
Speaker 16: So I look at this as you have to know
Speaker 16: your body. You will you have to like listen to it.
Speaker 16: If you listen to it, if you understand what it's
Speaker 16: telling you in these sole cues, you can actually kind
Speaker 16: of adjust things and perfect yourself because it's all about
Speaker 16: health and wellness in my mind.
Speaker 1: So you mentioned sleep, let's pivot for a second to
Speaker 1: that beauty sleep, Like is that a real thing?
Speaker 4: So you're like, oh, I got to get my beauty sleep.
Speaker 1: It was just sort of a saying back in the day.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's definitely something to it.
Speaker 16: Absolutely, and we see it in the skin immediately because
Speaker 16: people who don't sleep get dark circles. You're already seeing
Speaker 16: that inflammation forming. You are in real time looking at
Speaker 16: that person and you can identify their skin doesn't look fresh.
Speaker 16: Sleep has a way to regenerate your body. That regeneration
Speaker 16: is important for sol turnover, for good skin tone, good health.
Speaker 16: In fact, that's how I hear lost. For a second,
Speaker 16: there is a type of hair loss called telagion effluvium,
Speaker 16: which is due to stressors. Hair loss due to stress. Now,
Speaker 16: what's the stress from? Lack of sleep is one of
Speaker 16: the things. So if you're working hard, NonStop, if you're
Speaker 16: under stressed, chronic stress we're talking about not a huge stress,
Speaker 16: it takes a toll aging. If you look at people
Speaker 16: who eat well, sleep well, take care of their body,
Speaker 16: they actually do substantially better in terms of your blood
Speaker 16: work and their overall skin health and hair health as well.
Speaker 1: So simply adjusting how much sleep you might be getting
Speaker 1: could be step one. Easy things yeah, which I mean
Speaker 1: if you're stressed, though sometimes it's not easy to fall
Speaker 1: asleep fair enough.
Speaker 16: But then there's things that you can do that can
Speaker 16: be ways to mitigate that stress. Like, for example, go
Speaker 16: for a little walk. Sometimes if you go for a walk,
Speaker 16: and this would be a run, I know people say
Speaker 16: do a little bit more physical activity, go for a
Speaker 16: walk for fifteen minutes, walk like three miles per hour
Speaker 16: on that treadmill three and a half miles pour. You'll
Speaker 16: feel better, your mind will be more clear, your thoughts
Speaker 16: will become a little bit more crisp, you're more centered,
Speaker 16: and then your body will kind of take itself out
Speaker 16: of this flight and fight response. The problem is that
Speaker 16: we are bombarded by so much all the time, social media, this,
Speaker 16: that text messages, so you never give your time, You
Speaker 16: never give your body time to recuperate to heal. So
Speaker 16: what you're doing is say, if you do certain activities,
Speaker 16: you can actually take your body out of this whole
Speaker 16: like fight and flight response. And that's what unfortunately the
Speaker 16: world has become becoming more responsive as supposed to be
Speaker 16: proactive and how I can take care of situations more now,
Speaker 16: responding to each stimuli.
Speaker 9: We're gonna do it live. We are the one, two,
Speaker 9: three sore losers. What up, everybody? I am lunchbox. I
Speaker 9: know the most about sports, so I'll give you the
Speaker 9: sports facts, my sports opinions, because I'm pretty much a
Speaker 9: spoil's genius, y'all.
Speaker 17: It's Sison. I'm from the North. I'm an alpha male.
Speaker 17: I live on the North side of Nashville with Baser
Speaker 17: my wife. We do have a farm. It's beautiful, a
Speaker 17: lot of acreage, no animals, a lot of crops.

Speaker 9: I never saw that one. I did see Singled Out.
Speaker 9: That was a good one with Jenny McCarthy. That was
Speaker 9: a fantastic show, dude.
Speaker 17: Brooke Burke would travel the country in a bikini and
Speaker 17: show you all these tropical places and you'd go, That's
Speaker 17: why I'm going to college, because I'm gonna retire and
Speaker 17: go there. Well, I'm forty, still haven't gone there. Watch
Speaker 17: that shit in high schooling, dude, and you're like, man,

Speaker 17: This Brooke Burke just got bikini body all over your TV?
Speaker 9: Dude.
Speaker 17: Is that the same hick that was Dancing with the Stars, dude?
Speaker 17: Was she was more big on Wild on Ee than
Speaker 17: Dancing with the Store But is that who she was?
Speaker 9: I don't know. I was a fan when Bones was
Speaker 9: on and I've never seen it since or before. I
Speaker 9: think another girl that was on Daisy Foint test that
Speaker 9: shit was hot, dude, wild on E.
Speaker 17: And you know what, I never saw a girl at
Speaker 17: a bikini like that other than spring break or then
Speaker 17: when I moved to the West side of Nashville in
Speaker 17: the whale tails.
Speaker 9: Because I went to a school in Chicago.
Speaker 17: I didn't see mikini for fifteen years, but I watched
Speaker 17: it every day wild on E and I thought, that's
Speaker 17: what life's was found out real quick. You gotta go
Speaker 17: on vacation to see that. I used to watch Real World,
Speaker 17: and I thought, that's what life is. That is what
Speaker 17: it is, dude. It kind of was it kind of was.
Speaker 17: It kind of was badass in college when you could
Speaker 17: go to the bars. I'm telling you the first time
Speaker 17: I went to a bar, I was eighteen and I
Speaker 17: went to Bob Popular's and I'm telling you, a brawl
Speaker 17: broke out where people were breaking pool cues over each
Speaker 17: other's backs, and I was like, this, shit is what
Speaker 17: life is about.
Speaker 14: This is living.
Speaker 9: This is what all the stories I've been hearing and
Speaker 9: then on the TV and movies. And then I go
Speaker 9: out the next time and there was no fight. Go out.
Speaker 9: The next time there was no brawl, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 9: so it's not exactly like TV.
Speaker 17: One of my first bar experiences, South Beach got us
Speaker 17: into a bar in Texas State on the square there
Speaker 17: and he goes, hey, dude, I got a what was it?
Speaker 9: Gift card?
Speaker 17: He goes, but there's still a couple dollars on it,
Speaker 17: and he goes, you can scan it and we'll get
Speaker 17: all our drinks and then we'll bounce. And so at
Speaker 17: this point my life, Dude, I didn't know you do
Speaker 17: bad stuff. Bad stuff ends up happening to you.
Speaker 9: Guys.
Speaker 17: You can't do bad stuff like this. Carmel will get you.
Speaker 17: So we go in there. We go to this bar
Speaker 17: and kiss what Casey goes, South.
Speaker 9: Beach goes, oops, delete that.
Speaker 17: South Beach goes, Hey, but I know the bartender, I
Speaker 17: know the front desk person, I know the valet, I
Speaker 17: know this. He knew everybody at the bar. He got
Speaker 17: all me and my boys in. We weren't twenty one.
Speaker 17: We go in all there's a back door. One of
Speaker 17: us got in. One of us just came in right
Speaker 17: past the ticket taker, no cover, everybody else paying five bucks.
Speaker 17: Bro We got into a table, two hundred dollars in drinks,
Speaker 17: gave her a gift card, and we were all out
Speaker 17: of there. Didn't pay a dollar for drinks. That was
Speaker 17: my first bar experience. I think bark bar bad karma
Speaker 17: got me probably for the next year of my life
Speaker 17: after that one.
Speaker 9: Why, I don't know.
Speaker 17: I mean, how can you jump on a tab and
Speaker 17: not expect that to come around and buy what you
Speaker 17: mean jump.
Speaker 9: On a tab? You said you paid with the gift card.
Speaker 17: Gift card had two dollars on it, so it scanned
Speaker 17: so she was able to hold it, and then we
Speaker 17: bailed before she came back. Oh so when she went
Speaker 17: to actually run it, run it for two hundred and
Speaker 17: ten dollars, it.
Speaker 9: Failed, It declined. We were long gone.
Speaker 17: Damn so green Parrot, if you are still open on
Speaker 17: the square, I would love to pay that two hundred
Speaker 17: dollars back. They may have foreclosed, they may have went bankrupt, check,
Speaker 17: but still owe it. As far as I'm concerned, we
Speaker 17: need to pay that back. It was in two thousand
Speaker 17: and seven. Maybe if you just go back.
Speaker 9: And say I had a tab, I need to close
Speaker 9: out my tab, and they're like, oh, what was the
Speaker 9: last name. I'm by Ods from two thousand and two.

Speaker 17: But we go to Nephews and there we didn't sneak in.
Speaker 18: We do.
Speaker 9: Yeah, hey, Green Parrot, they got a hottie. They got
Speaker 9: a hotty who serving drink, probably her mom. God Dalliam.
Speaker 17: Dude, we go to Nephews in South Beach because all
Speaker 17: these Texas State kids, they're just there like kind of
Speaker 17: just show off.
Speaker 9: Nobody's there at a bar to really drink because people puck.
Speaker 9: We go Green Parrot's got some ladies there. If you're
Speaker 9: in Sam Marcus, stop by there on the square. There
Speaker 9: are some hotties in there. Hey hear me on this one.
Speaker 9: I'm hearing you.
Speaker 17: College is about the pregame. Nobody's really drinking at a bar,
Speaker 17: so South Beach taught me, yeah, because you can't afford it, right,
Speaker 17: So we go to Sanctuary Lofts, get tanked with Billy,
Speaker 17: and then we go to Nephews and South Beach would
Speaker 17: go get a glass that had a little bit of
Speaker 17: cranberry juice or a little bit of vodka still in it,
Speaker 17: and then he'd go in the bathroom and pour it
Speaker 17: from the faucet, so it looked like you had a
Speaker 17: full drink, but it was really somebody else's glass and
Speaker 17: it was all water down and you just fake like
Speaker 17: you drink it. He taught me, you don't really drink
Speaker 17: it bars, you just fake it, and that's how you
Speaker 17: save money. So Billy'd be out of there, man, not
Speaker 17: one hundred and fifty dollars bar tab, that's crazy, go
Speaker 17: back and play black jack on his computer, lose another grand.
Speaker 17: We're like, oh, man, I'd never lied about it, but
Speaker 17: South Beach was like, yeah, dude, we had a bar
Speaker 17: tab two was.
Speaker 9: Crazy, dude.
Speaker 17: Me and Beach didn't pay a damn dime for an
Speaker 17: hour and a half talking chicks with water in our
Speaker 17: cup that we filled up in the bathroom. Sink smart,
Speaker 17: it's sort of like, but then they needed a drink.
Speaker 17: Then all of a sudden, me and South Beach don't
Speaker 17: even know where the bar is on some.
Speaker 9: Is it over there?
Speaker 6: Just there?
Speaker 19: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Point me which direction that is? Hold on, dude.
Speaker 17: Every time going to grab the wallet, South Beach, did
Speaker 17: you want to bounce?
Speaker 9: And there's literally nowhere else to bounce as the last
Speaker 9: play is open. No, no, man, we'll stay here. Which
Speaker 9: barre you girls at, and.
Speaker 17: It's like the like, there's obviously the bar. We just
Speaker 17: played dumb for the next five and then we're like, all,
Speaker 17: we're never gonna land these chicks. We're not dropping fifty
Speaker 17: dollars on drinks for them.
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a tough one, man. It's sort of like
Speaker 9: when in Austin, I think it was the library or
Speaker 9: it was coppertaining or not comportink aquariums. Think it was library.
Speaker 9: Library was great, dude. I don't know if it was
Speaker 9: like nine to ten, maybe it's nine to ten pm.
Speaker 9: They had two dollars long island iced teas or some
Speaker 9: shit like that. Deadly, So you would go in there
Speaker 9: and you would slay them five long island iced teas
Speaker 9: in an hour ten bucks, and you would be absolutely
Speaker 9: housed housed, and you would he had to buy drinks
Speaker 9: at another bar because you had five long island ized teas.
Speaker 9: That sets you up for the next two and a
Speaker 9: half hours of stumbling around sixth Street. I mean, that
Speaker 9: is the way to do it. You go early, you're
Speaker 9: the first one at the bar, and it's two dollars
Speaker 9: long island.
Speaker 17: Let me suck that down, dude, I wish i'd found
Speaker 17: that place. I remember the one time there was some
Speaker 17: was there a popular place? It was kind of like
Speaker 17: Japanese they had sake bomb. I mean, I'm sure there
Speaker 17: were different places where people get the sake bombs before
Speaker 17: the bars.
Speaker 9: Probably, yeah, probably any sushi restaurant. It wasn't.
Speaker 17: It wasn't the one with the Was it the one
Speaker 17: with the sharks in the floor?
Speaker 9: Oh, Quaw? That was pretty expensive. Okay, they might have been.
Speaker 17: I went to Quah with a chick and I'm like,
Speaker 17: all right, man, I'll get us some shot. I only
Speaker 17: said Quaw maybe or was that airplane thing? It was
Speaker 17: all west West six? Yeah, Quah may have been it, man, Okay,
Speaker 17: so let's just say it was Quaw and I had
Speaker 17: twenty bucks, and I go, okay, perfect, man, I could
Speaker 17: probably buy each a couple of shots. That'll buy us sometime, dude,
Speaker 17: I did. I gave it a twenty dollars bill and
Speaker 17: two shots and that was it.
Speaker 9: Oh that's it. When one shot is ten dollars, you
Speaker 9: were like, oh, dude, the chick what man? You only
Speaker 9: wanted one drinker? But yeah, you know, I got work
Speaker 9: in the morning. But it was awesome. Hey it out.
Speaker 9: I was like, damn it, why did they get a shot?
Speaker 9: I should have got something that went slower.
Speaker 17: It's like hung out with her for ten minutes and
Speaker 17: I was walking back.
Speaker 9: Hey boy, that is good night. You know what I mean?
Speaker 9: I gotta get up early. That's like, I mean, here's
Speaker 9: the thing. I was spoiled rotten because I knew bartender's
Speaker 9: every bar. I never paid for drinks, never paid for drinks.
Speaker 9: You didn't hear when we first moved. Yeah, I know
Speaker 9: even here I met bartenders, never had to pay for
Speaker 9: a drink. I don't know what a dumb mass was
Speaker 9: back there serving drinks. And I'm like, guys, guys, this
Speaker 9: is hilarious. A little that I know, you know, actually
Speaker 9: get pretty big troll over that. Yeah, probably right, I
Speaker 9: mean that bartender probably. I mean, I have the manager
Speaker 9: would have watched around the damn corner. And I'm sitting

Speaker 4: two thousand and.
Speaker 21: Seven, Michael, and over two thousand and eight. See that

Speaker 20: I'm like, Michael and I have talked about everything.
Speaker 18: We always have things to talk about, and we always
Speaker 18: have ongoing conversations. But it's like, yes, it is so

Speaker 21: like it is true. My husband knows this, so I'm
Speaker 21: not like talking bad about him, like he doesn't like.

Speaker 4: But I think that's a good quality.
Speaker 21: Like I I love everyone until you like prove me wrong,
Speaker 21: you know, and I use do get taken advantage of
Speaker 21: quite a bit because of that.
Speaker 4: Well yeah, I mean, I'm just like I love everyone.
Speaker 21: My sister calls me the collector of stray cats because
Speaker 21: I always just I'm like, yes, the more the merrier
Speaker 21: come in and I'm trying to learn boundaries better.
Speaker 4: But my husband is the opposite.
Speaker 21: He's like, no, I don't like that person, but he
Speaker 21: actually adores Michael and he has said that multiple times.
Speaker 21: He's like that's a great guy. And if Justin says that,
Speaker 21: then like you're you're in Okay. Yeah, well I'm glad
Speaker 21: we didn't even know how t cut through.
Speaker 4: This was when I slid.
Speaker 10: Through the cracks.

Speaker 4: I mean, it's a good thing he is.
Speaker 20: He is when he selective of his people, Well, you
Speaker 20: know what, that's good. I think it can serve his energy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he does.
Speaker 18: I have been a chronic people pleaser my entire life, kay,
Speaker 18: but not anymore.
Speaker 4: I'm working on it.
Speaker 20: I had a life coach.
Speaker 18: I hired a life coach when I was thirty eight
Speaker 18: years old, really, and then I have done extreme therapy
Speaker 18: measures to get to the root of my issues, which
Speaker 18: is I'm a high functioning codependent person, which means I
Speaker 18: walk into a room not anymore, and I need to
Speaker 18: make sure everybody's happy and everybody's happy with me, and
Speaker 18: like if you are not, if your vibes are off,
Speaker 18: and if you're not like feeling my.
Speaker 20: Vibes, then I just kind of like fix it.
Speaker 18: I'm gonna be like up in your face, getting to
Speaker 18: know you, wondering what's going on, getting to the root
Speaker 18: of your issue, trying to make you happy, to make
Speaker 18: sure that you walk away feeling happy and that.
Speaker 4: You love me.
Speaker 21: I feel like I'm like that a little bit, but
Speaker 21: it finally wore me out. Yeah, it's exhausting, it's exhausting.
Speaker 21: I'm getting better at that. I definitely used to be
Speaker 21: like that, especially with the TV news, because when people
Speaker 21: would send me mean comments, I would like try to
Speaker 21: convince them like no, no, no, Like I'm a nice.
Speaker 4: Person like you would like me.
Speaker 20: People are coming after you. You're awful, I mean too, No,
Speaker 20: not like you.
Speaker 21: Not everyone gets if you have any sort of online
Speaker 21: or on air, like any sort of public persona, like
Speaker 21: people are.
Speaker 4: Gonna talk to you get it on the regular. You
Speaker 4: know what, since I became a mom, it's been a
Speaker 4: lot easier.
Speaker 20: Really what if people used to say and why are
Speaker 20: they nicer now?
Speaker 21: I think they used to say things like mostly about
Speaker 21: my appearents, you know, like I'll you know, you always
Speaker 21: remember the main comments, like somebody called me the lunch
Speaker 21: lady arms.
Speaker 4: Lunch lady arms, I had fat arms.
Speaker 21: And of course, like that's your you know, everybody has
Speaker 21: their own thing, like of course my arms are.
Speaker 4: Insecurity, and I know it's ridiculous and stupid.
Speaker 20: We all have our things.
Speaker 4: We all have our things, and I reckon lunch lately arms.
Speaker 20: Wobe what is awful?
Speaker 21: And then one guy sent me a tweet that was like,
Speaker 21: I can't The fact that someone marriage you is shocking,
Speaker 21: the fact that someone impregnated you is shocking, and the
Speaker 21: fact that you have a job being on TV is
Speaker 21: even more shocking. Kind of thing, like people say really
Speaker 21: mean things when lady told me I was going to
Speaker 21: help because I wore a sleeveless dress on TV. So
Speaker 21: my old instinct back in the day would be to
Speaker 21: convince these people to like find their profile and message
Speaker 21: them or email them back, like almost like shaming them
Speaker 21: at first for making them feel bad about that, and
Speaker 21: then convincing them like, no, I'm a nice person like
Speaker 21: you would like me.
Speaker 20: You would shame them first and then convince them.
Speaker 21: Yeah, almost almost make them feel bad about like you're
Speaker 21: you're a jerk for thinking that, because they are, yeah,
Speaker 21: or not jerk for saying it.
Speaker 4: Anyway, you can think whatever you want.
Speaker 18: Right for taking the time to write you, I mean
Speaker 18: compact to someone they don't know to make me feel bad,
Speaker 18: it's totally to yourself. That's a your yeah, because they're one.
Speaker 18: Sole purpose in that wasn't for change to hurt your feeling.
Speaker 18: It was to hurt me, right, And so my purpose
Speaker 18: in doing that was to make them see the error
Speaker 18: in their ways and then convince them like, oh.
Speaker 4: No, you'll I'm a nice person, but it's not about me.
Speaker 4: It's about them, right they have Yeah, I know, not
Speaker 4: my problem. I problem.
Speaker 20: I had this situation coming the other day where somebody
Speaker 20: actually like did something intentionally to hurt you, just to
Speaker 20: like you have to like take something away from me.
Speaker 4: I need to fight.
Speaker 20: Well, I'll tell you later.
Speaker 18: Yeah, but I was like, oh my god, and then
Speaker 18: I was like all pissed and I want to like
Speaker 18: fight them in my head. But then I was like,
Speaker 18: you know what, not my issue, not my problem, and
Speaker 18: not my bag of demons that I'm going to carry around.
Speaker 18: If if someone's gonna go out of their way to
Speaker 18: try to like take something from someone else for no
Speaker 18: other reason than they just don't want me to have it,
Speaker 18: but it's not making them get anything, then I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 18: that's not my problem. It's not it's not my problem
Speaker 18: that that's what you're going to spend your time doing.
Speaker 21: Yeah, that's exhausting. Yeah, it's like have you listened to
Speaker 21: Mel Robins?
Speaker 4: Let them?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 20: Mel Robins? Is she not changing?
Speaker 6: The world?
Speaker 4: Is changing?
Speaker 20: Give people the idea of what them?
Speaker 21: Let them is a book or I listen to the
Speaker 21: audio tape. It's just about letting people have their thoughts,
Speaker 21: their feelings about you, about anything, your opinions about life,
Speaker 21: or even like the little inconveniences I love the example
Speaker 21: that she gave that she was checking out the grocery
Speaker 21: store and the lady checking out with being so slow,
Speaker 21: and she was getting annoyed and she wanted to like complain,
Speaker 21: and then she was like, let them let this clerk
Speaker 21: be slow checking people out because me getting frustrated and
Speaker 21: bitching about it and doing anything, it's not going to
Speaker 21: speed her up. Let me instead figure out how to
Speaker 21: deal with this anxiety and why I feel this way
Speaker 21: and then respond in a better way.
Speaker 4: I know, this time productively and so profound it is.
Speaker 14: Hey, it's Mike d and this week all Movie Mike's
Speaker 14: Movie Podcast. My wife Kelsey joined me and we did
Speaker 14: our big recap episode that we do every month, Movies
Speaker 14: of the month, all movies that we saw in theaters
Speaker 14: are at home in the last thirty days. There was
Speaker 14: one day we talked about where we watched six movies
Speaker 14: in one day. So you gotta check out this entire episode.
Speaker 14: But right now, here's the best movies we saw in
Speaker 14: the last month from Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.
Speaker 19: I needed to laugh and that was provided to me
Speaker 19: by one of them days and beginning of the year.
Speaker 19: Comedies are hit or miss because they put those ones
Speaker 19: out in January that they're not sure whether they're gonna
Speaker 19: like do well at the box office or kind of flop,
Speaker 19: and then they can just be like, oh it was
Speaker 19: a January flop.
Speaker 14: Oh well, I would say as a whole any movie
Speaker 14: that comes out in January, which is known as a
Speaker 14: dumb month for movies, is hit or miss. But primarily
Speaker 14: it's usually a comedy that's like, I don't know if
Speaker 14: this is gonna be funny, or it's a horror movie
Speaker 14: that I don't know if it's going to be scary.
Speaker 14: But when it came to one of them days, it
Speaker 14: was really funny. It also did really well at the
Speaker 14: box office.
Speaker 6: I laughed the whole time.
Speaker 19: At one point it was what like certified fresh on
Speaker 19: Rotten Panos is still a really high score.
Speaker 14: It got really good reviews and was also funny, so
Speaker 14: had a good critic score and a good audience score,
Speaker 14: which is rare. And the movie is about two best friends.
Speaker 14: One of their boyfriends spends their rent money on a
Speaker 14: get rich quick scheme and then they have like eight
Speaker 14: or ten hours to make that money back before getting evicted.
Speaker 14: So it's a really simple plot drops right into it
Speaker 14: and there's a lot of just I felt like it
Speaker 14: had good writing. It wasn't all physical comedy.
Speaker 19: I mean Keiki Palmer and says I also had like
Speaker 19: incredible comedic timing.
Speaker 14: Crazy that Sizza this was the first time acting did
Speaker 14: a really good job in it. And then also is
Speaker 14: about to do the super Bowl with Kendrick Lamar, but
Speaker 14: she could really do it all.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I really enjoyed this one as well. I rated it
Speaker 14: a four out of five? What did you give it?
Speaker 6: Are you having? A four point five out of five?
Speaker 14: So close to perfect, which is really high for a
Speaker 14: ninety minute comedy.
Speaker 6: Listen. It was also the perfect length.
Speaker 19: I don't need my comedies to drag on because I
Speaker 19: feel like at a certain point you just start like
Speaker 19: kind of regurgitating things or making them like it also
Speaker 19: just like wasn't necessarily believable, but like then you start
Speaker 19: really dragging on. Also, gotta see mod Apatowl so funny
Speaker 19: in it.
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, sheesus the person who moves into their apartment complex. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 14: I felt like right as this movie was wrapping up,
Speaker 14: I would found myself to think, Okay, this needs to write.
Speaker 14: Oh and it was over.
Speaker 19: Yeah, right when you're like, all right, you can't really
Speaker 19: make any more jokes.
Speaker 6: You can't drag this out.
Speaker 14: It's like, okay, the comedy movies that always go on
Speaker 14: a little bit too long. I always think about speaking
Speaker 14: of the Appatitows jut Apatow. Every jet hapite movie goes
Speaker 14: about thirty minutes too long. Yeah, especially like super Bad
Speaker 14: forty year Old Virgin. He does love it to forty.
Speaker 19: His film's really equivalent of when people on TikTok are like,
Speaker 19: I have to make this video a minute to get
Speaker 19: into the creator fund to make money off of it.
Speaker 19: That's hut up Sal's movies. It's like, I gotta make
Speaker 19: this two hours long.
Speaker 14: His inability to edit himself is wild. He had made
Speaker 14: a movie in a while, though. I feel like he's
Speaker 14: gonna do one with all of his daughters at this
Speaker 14: point two, all of his daughters and his wife, which
Speaker 14: he's pretty much been putting in every I guess he's
Speaker 14: already really done that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they've been in everything.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's like funny people I remember them being.
Speaker 19: Kids are making money now he doesn't need Yeah, they're fine.
Speaker 19: She's doing euphoria movies.
Speaker 6: They're good.
Speaker 14: The nepotism is strong in that family. So that's your best.
Speaker 14: For my best, I'm gonna go with the Brutalist. And
Speaker 14: I think it's.
Speaker 6: Because very different end of the spectrum films.
Speaker 14: It's the one that I was a little hesitant going
Speaker 14: into just because it was three and a half hours long,
Speaker 14: which is a long movie.
Speaker 6: It's a flight, Oh, it is a flight.
Speaker 14: I am now a fan of the intermission, which I
Speaker 14: thought I wasn't going to like. I thought, you know me,
Speaker 14: I don't like stopping down while watching a movie. I
Speaker 14: want to go all the way through. If I have
Speaker 14: to go pee, I'll go pee real quick and I'll
Speaker 14: come back. But I thought the the idea of taking
Speaker 14: a break and then coming back to it was gonna
Speaker 14: offset me a little bit. But it actually like reset me.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you got up and walked around, because I was like.
Speaker 14: I'm gonna go walk around, I'm gonna go get a drink.
Speaker 14: I'm gonna come back and feel refreshed. And it was
Speaker 14: about an hour and forty minutes into it, and then we.
Speaker 9: Had all their hour forty to go.
Speaker 14: I think it was also the fact that they included
Speaker 14: the fifteen minute intermission in the runtime, so that three
Speaker 14: thirty five was also including the fifteen minutes. I thought
Speaker 14: it was gonna be fifteen on top of that.
Speaker 6: Oh, I guess I did too.
Speaker 19: And I really didn't calculate the time after we got
Speaker 19: out because it was just long in general.
Speaker 14: Which then it would have been like for fifty plus
Speaker 14: the ten fifteen minutes of previews. Then I was like, man,
Speaker 14: that's gonna be like four hours and ten minutes at
Speaker 14: the movies. But I feel after watching this, I am
Speaker 14: more inclined to any movie that decides to embrace the intermission.
Speaker 14: I don't think people will really embrace it a whole
Speaker 14: lot because of that break. I think movie theaters have
Speaker 14: a hard time because then you have all the people
Speaker 14: coming out and then they get busy again. But I
Speaker 14: think they want to get busy again right because the
Speaker 14: line to the concessions got so long after it people
Speaker 14: getting a second round refreshers.
Speaker 19: But I also don't feel like a typical theater chain
Speaker 19: is set up for an intermission. Yeah, we saw the Belcourt,
Speaker 19: smaller theater, so there's only a couple movies showing.
Speaker 14: I think it would be harder in a big theater
Speaker 14: like for Captain America for everybody to exit and go
Speaker 14: to the lobby. I think it would overwhelm some people
Speaker 14: because I think right now, even when we get there,
Speaker 14: sometimes during peak hours, we're waiting ten to fifteen minutes
Speaker 14: to get popcorn.
Speaker 19: Don't even get me started on the time that that
Speaker 19: person complained and I almost got a fight in line.
Speaker 14: Yeah, people get they get so impatient.
Speaker 19: People are doing their best, they're doing their job. It's
Speaker 19: not their fault that the person true story in front
Speaker 19: of you ordered eighty dollars worth.
Speaker 14: Of snacks, a lot of snacks.
Speaker 19: There's literally one person. They can only get so many popcorns,
Speaker 19: they can only get so many drinks. And then if
Speaker 19: you're like, this line hasn't moved, I've been here for
Speaker 19: twenty minutes, then get here twenty minutes earlier next time.
Speaker 14: Like, I don't know, people need to relax in line.
Speaker 6: So I don't movies.
Speaker 19: I don't think that an intermission would be good at
Speaker 19: a regular theater because then everyone's gonna stand in line
Speaker 19: for that long and then they're gonna be like, well,
Speaker 19: now the movie's starting and I miss it because they
Speaker 19: took this intermission.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I feel like it's kind of the recess vibes
Speaker 14: of like trying to wrangle everybody after recess, like come on,
Speaker 14: he come back inside.
Speaker 19: Oh, I'm still on this swing set feral children's Yeah,
Speaker 19: running around, And then you have people maybe who would like,
Speaker 19: I want to go watch another movie, and they sneak
Speaker 19: into another movie.
Speaker 14: I enjoy it. I don't think. I don't think there're
Speaker 14: gonna be that many three hour movies that warrn't an intermission.
Speaker 14: It's very rare that we get one. It's usually one
Speaker 14: a year that we go to. If that like last year, Oppenheimer,
Speaker 14: I feel like Avengers.
Speaker 6: Is actually the year before last.
Speaker 14: Oh, it's twenty twenty, hag. I'm still living in twenty
Speaker 14: twenty four. I know those two years ago.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 14: So I would like to see more intermissions. I think
Speaker 14: it would give some people because it is a daunting task,
Speaker 14: like the Brutalist. Even though I enjoyed it, it's not
Speaker 14: one that I'm gonna recommend to people because seeing three
Speaker 14: hours and thirty five minutes, it's like, I don't want
Speaker 14: to go to that.
Speaker 6: But I think it did eat up most of our son.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 6: And we were like, well, Saturday's over.
Speaker 14: That's it. It's cash. Yeah, it's gone, but I really
Speaker 14: enjoyed it. I'm glad we spent the time to watch it.
Speaker 14: I'm still not rooting for it to win Best Picture.
Speaker 14: I still am leaning on wanting the substance to do
Speaker 14: really well. But now I can appreciate a little more.
Speaker 2: This is all the talk on social media right now.
Speaker 2: Is everybody talking about looking for jobs, applying to jobs,
Speaker 2: not finding jobs. It is the hottest topic I think
Speaker 2: I've seen in the last few weeks. And that's why
Speaker 2: I'm bring on one of my really good friends, Page,
Speaker 2: who is an expert in this field. When I say expert,
Speaker 2: the expert of all experts, Page, how are.
Speaker 8: You, I'm so good, I'm so good. I'm so excited
Speaker 8: to be here. And you're right, I am a little
Speaker 8: bit of a subject matter expert in the career job
Speaker 8: hunting space.
Speaker 4: What do you think is happening right now?
Speaker 2: Because you see online there's all kinds of people who
Speaker 2: are like I cannot find jobs, nobody is hiring. What
Speaker 2: is your kind of take on this that what's going
Speaker 2: on in the job market right now that you're seeing.
Speaker 8: It's really interesting because there's eight point one million jobs
Speaker 8: on the market right now and the unemployment rates not bad.
Speaker 8: It's around four point one four percent. It hasn't changed
Speaker 8: much in the past year, so we haven't seen huge inflections.
Speaker 8: So it's interesting because there's actually more of a demand
Speaker 8: in the current market in the US than there is supply,
Speaker 8: which is interesting. Let me digress. So I want to
Speaker 8: start back from the pandemic because I feel like everything
Speaker 8: still stems from the pandemic.
Speaker 6: Naturally, because that was such a weird time in our life.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, you had all of these layoffs, and then
Speaker 8: you move forward. PPP loans were granted, and so people
Speaker 8: started to hire again, and everyone started to leave their
Speaker 8: jobs to get better ones. It was called the Great Resignation.
Speaker 8: People were offered these insane salaries. I'm talking like hundreds
Speaker 8: of thousands more than they've made before. So of course,
Speaker 8: no brainer, let's leave. And so now when these loans
Speaker 8: have dried up and people realize, oh, I've got to
Speaker 8: pay those back. Now we have layoffs happening. The tech
Speaker 8: industry was hit really hard in that space, and then
Speaker 8: you're coupled with some unsettling things in the market. You
Speaker 8: add an election year on top of that. Businesses aren't
Speaker 8: for sure what legislation is going to impact their business,
Speaker 8: so they hold their coins tight to their chest. So
Speaker 8: it's an interesting market. There are jobs out there, but
Speaker 8: the reason why it's hard is that there's been a
Speaker 8: lot of things that have happened over the past couple
Speaker 8: of years, and I think people don't realize that all
Speaker 8: of the time, there was so much change so fast.
Speaker 8: So one of the things I always say is, if
Speaker 8: someone's offering you an insane salary and it's too good
Speaker 8: to be true, believe them. Take a look at organizations
Speaker 8: and how they responded to the pandemic. If they were
Speaker 8: doing a ton of layoffs, how did they respond to that.
Speaker 8: Layoffs can be make business sense, it's not necessarily always
Speaker 8: a bad thing, But how do they recoup from that?
Speaker 8: What does that look like? What's their sustainability look like
Speaker 8: as an organization? How long have they been.
Speaker 6: In the game.
Speaker 8: All of these things are really important when you're looking
Speaker 8: for a job.
Speaker 2: And this is why I have you on Stacy because
Speaker 2: I think your story is so cool, because it's really
Speaker 2: easy to get a job when you're done with college
Speaker 2: or get a job out of high school and you
Speaker 2: stay in it for twenty years and you never look
Speaker 2: at other options. You never explore past what you think
Speaker 2: you're supposed to be doing, and you went a complete
Speaker 2: opposite direction and did something that was not even something
Speaker 2: that was in your mind at the time of you
Speaker 2: doing any.
Speaker 6: Version of college or studying.
Speaker 22: I have always been the type of person that if
Speaker 22: you put something in front of me, I'm gonna go
Speaker 22: after it. And it's like, get out of my way
Speaker 22: because I'm gonna either, you know, succeed or fail.
Speaker 10: Sort of thing.
Speaker 22: I just think again, I started just thinking about you know,
Speaker 22: I love being able to impact people at the hospital, patients,
Speaker 22: like getting them back on their feet. But I just
Speaker 22: again was like going, there's just something, some little piece
Speaker 22: of missing. And so it's always like and I say
Speaker 22: a lot of like cliche things, but I'm like, you're
Speaker 22: never gonna know if you don't try, and yeah that
Speaker 22: it was a little scary, but at the same time,
Speaker 22: I go, I got this because if but if I.
Speaker 10: Don't got this, I left the hospital on good terms.
Speaker 22: I can always go back and I always have an A,
Speaker 22: B and C plan or I joke and say this,
Speaker 22: but I go say, none of this.
Speaker 10: Works out for me.
Speaker 22: I like candles, So I can start making candles like
Speaker 22: you always figure it out. But I think that that's
Speaker 22: what's hard for a lot of people is just to
Speaker 22: put that all to the side and just truly go
Speaker 22: after And I know it's I mean, it's easier said
Speaker 22: than done with a lot of things, but I just
Speaker 22: think the unknown is something special sometimes and I am
Speaker 22: a big believer in that of just like, hey, just
Speaker 22: give it a shot. So it's it's truly really cool.
Speaker 22: And I remember the conversation my husband and I had.
Speaker 10: He was just kind of saying, hey, like he.
Speaker 22: Supports everything and anything that I do, but he was
Speaker 22: telling me, he was like, hey, just hang on for
Speaker 22: a few more months, just for a steady two week
Speaker 22: paycheck as you kind of like transition and everything.
Speaker 10: And I looked at him and I said, I love
Speaker 10: you and respect you, but I got this.
Speaker 22: I got this going back. I didn't know COVID it's
Speaker 22: going to happen, so it's just crazy. It's crazy to me,
Speaker 22: and sign on on that too. Why he was like, hey,
Speaker 22: let's hang on a little bit more so. He was
Speaker 22: also starting his own business and insurance and so then
Speaker 22: two entrepreneurs and then COVID hit.
Speaker 10: It was a little scary.
