- 0:56Speaker 1: with the lobster where because I can't have a meal
- 1:00Speaker 1: about something getting on my shirt. I kind of wish
- 1:02Speaker 1: that was the case. All right, guy's got our friend
- 1:06Speaker 1: Aman is standing on Hey Banda, Hi, how are you guys?
- 1:11Speaker 1: How are you good? How's your Thanksgiving? It was good.
- 1:16Speaker 1: How is your guys very good now? Amanda? I know, like, uh,
- 1:23Speaker 1: your life has had to be a little crazy because
- 1:25Speaker 1: obviously COVID hits um. You have two beautiful girls at home,
- 1:29Speaker 1: and recently you've decided to move because you were locked
- 1:34Speaker 1: inside with these two girls trying to figure out what
- 1:36Speaker 1: to do with your life. Right pretty much? Yeah, yeah,
- 1:40Speaker 1: it's a lot like where did you move to? Are
- 1:43Speaker 1: you still in Orange County? Yeah? We actually moved literally
- 1:48Speaker 1: a quarter mile away from our old place, moved down
- 1:52Speaker 1: the street. Yeah, but we just we needed a little
- 1:55Speaker 1: bit more space now that we're home so much. I
- 1:57Speaker 1: don't know if you guys feel that way, but like
- 1:59Speaker 1: I used to travel so much and the girls were
- 2:01Speaker 1: in school and had stuff going on, and now we're
- 2:04Speaker 1: just like home together constantly, so we just needed a
- 2:08Speaker 1: little more space. Are you still close to your parents? Yeah? Yeah,
- 2:12Speaker 1: we're like thirty minutes away from them, so we've still
- 2:15Speaker 1: been seeing them, um and then I'll go up to
- 2:19Speaker 1: l A and see my sister, So it's kind of
- 2:22Speaker 1: like a nice change of scenery. Yeah, I get it.
- 2:24Speaker 1: I mean I can't obviously I don't have kids, like
- 2:26Speaker 1: I live in an eight d griffoot house. Um, by myself,
- 2:29Speaker 1: and it's fine for me. I can do what I
- 2:31Speaker 1: want in at any time. But if I had two
- 2:34Speaker 1: little ones running around, uh, I would imagine that being
- 2:37Speaker 1: home of even harder. Yeah, you know it is, and
- 2:41Speaker 1: they have so much energy, and yeah, we just it's
- 2:44Speaker 1: it's much better for us here. We're happy. Well, Amanda,
- 2:48Speaker 1: this is our special holiday gift giving podcast, and you
- 2:53Speaker 1: have one of my favorite clothing lines. I'm not talking
- 2:57Speaker 1: like this because you're a friend of mine, but whenever
- 3:00Speaker 1: I go through my closet and it's like Jared and
- 3:03Speaker 1: I are going on a date or you know, back
- 3:05Speaker 1: in the day when we used to go to events,
- 3:07Speaker 1: I would always have one of your outfits as one
- 3:12Speaker 1: of my top choices for the night. So I wanted
- 3:15Speaker 1: the label. Tell everybody about it. It's been around for
- 3:18Speaker 1: a long time. You sell out, it's super successful. Yeah.
- 3:22Speaker 1: So we launched in March of so it's been over
- 3:27Speaker 1: two years now. Um, but especially now with COVID, I
- 3:30Speaker 1: feel like we've tried to make some changes just because
- 3:33Speaker 1: I'm in loungewere of the time these days, so we
- 3:37Speaker 1: added some loungewear to holiday. We even made some holiday
- 3:41Speaker 1: pajamas which are sold out, but we're trying to restock
- 3:44Speaker 1: them before the holidays. Um. But that makes me happy
- 3:47Speaker 1: because that's like how I feel, and like that was
- 3:49Speaker 1: what I was going for with everything. It's like just
- 3:51Speaker 1: your go to pieces that you want to rewear all
- 3:54Speaker 1: the time. Like the top I'm wearing right now, I
- 3:56Speaker 1: feel like I wear it all the time, all right.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I Mean, I don't know if I'm wrong in this,
- 4:00Speaker 1: but I feel like a lot of influencers have clothing
- 4:02Speaker 1: lines and they don't. They're not as hands on as
- 4:05Speaker 1: you are. I feel like some of them just kind
- 4:07Speaker 1: of stick their name on a collection that was provided
- 4:12Speaker 1: for them, honestly, but I feel like you make so
- 4:15Speaker 1: many decisions with Lonnie. Thanks. Yeah. I mean I feel
- 4:19Speaker 1: like there are different ways to go about doing a
- 4:21Speaker 1: clothing line, and sometimes you could just pick pieces from
- 4:24Speaker 1: a line sheet and kind of put your name on
- 4:26Speaker 1: him and select, like curry what you want. Um, But
- 4:29Speaker 1: for Lonnie, I like design every piece. They go through
- 4:32Speaker 1: the colors, the fabrics, so um, Like I want to
- 4:36Speaker 1: make sure it's something that I want to wear another
- 4:38Speaker 1: people want to wear, So that's really important to me, Now,
- 4:43Speaker 1: is this a dream of yours? Has this been something
- 4:46Speaker 1: that you hoped for forever or when you were on
- 4:48Speaker 1: the show and kind of got off and so hey
- 4:50Speaker 1: you have a platform. Um now, was this a new
- 4:53Speaker 1: idea or is this like a childhood dream? No, it's
- 4:57Speaker 1: like something I always wanted to do, but just like
- 4:59Speaker 1: never really knew where to start. Um. So it's been
- 5:02Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's for sure my favorite thing
- 5:04Speaker 1: to work on. Kids help me with it too. They
- 5:06Speaker 1: feel like they're a part of it. So um yeah,
- 5:09Speaker 1: it's always been like a dream of mine to have
- 5:11Speaker 1: a clothing line. So it's so much fun with it.
- 5:14Speaker 1: So where can people get your items if they want
- 5:18Speaker 1: if they're a Bachelor fan and they want to give
- 5:21Speaker 1: something from an alum it's Lonnie the label dot com. Yeah,
- 5:25Speaker 1: Lonnie the label dot com, l A and I And
- 5:28Speaker 1: then we're also in a few different boutiques throughout the country.
- 5:32Speaker 1: There's a few in New York, some in California. Um
- 5:35Speaker 1: So you can also look online and signed if there's
- 5:37Speaker 1: any boutiques near you that carreyet but online is probably
- 5:40Speaker 1: the easiest. On the website. Where does the name come from? Honestly,
- 5:45Speaker 1: that Okay, the hardest part for me with starting a
- 5:48Speaker 1: clothing line was coming up with a name. So I
- 5:50Speaker 1: designed all the pieces, we had the website, we had
- 5:53Speaker 1: everything ready to go, and I just couldn't name it.
- 5:56Speaker 1: And I wanted something that was just easy to say,
- 5:59Speaker 1: and I was trying to make it something meaningful with
- 6:02Speaker 1: the kid's names. Anyways, I just thought it sounded good
- 6:05Speaker 1: until I went with it, and I still so that
- 6:09Speaker 1: makes sense. I mean, that works right, It's worked so far.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I mean, what is it like seeing because I see
- 6:15Speaker 1: people post wearing your label often, Um, friends from Bachelor
- 6:19Speaker 1: Nation and friends outside of Bachelor Nation wearing your label?
- 6:22Speaker 1: How does it feel to see people all over the
- 6:24Speaker 1: u s wearing something you've created. It's still so crazy
- 6:28Speaker 1: to me. And it's funny too because there's like people
- 6:31Speaker 1: that I'll see wearing it that I like grew up,
- 6:35Speaker 1: like knowing who they were before I was on the show,
- 6:37Speaker 1: and then like you see them in your clothes and
- 6:39Speaker 1: I like, still fan girl for a minute. Um, but
- 6:42Speaker 1: it's really cool. And I also feel like, you know,
- 6:45Speaker 1: it's kind of this community, like people will tag me
- 6:48Speaker 1: when they're wearing it, and I kind of get to
- 6:50Speaker 1: connect with all these different people that are wearing my
- 6:53Speaker 1: clothes and supporting me. So that's probably my favorite part. Well,
- 6:58Speaker 1: it's super cool, Amanda. And uh again, you can go
- 7:00Speaker 1: to Lonnie label dot com to find some incredible clothes
- 7:05Speaker 1: for gift ideas or just if you're I mean, I'm assuming, right, girls,
- 7:09Speaker 1: you tell me like, if you're trying to look good
- 7:11Speaker 1: on the holidays, you're trying to impress the fam or
- 7:14Speaker 1: you know, whoever it is that you're pursuing. Uh, you
- 7:16Speaker 1: can go to Lonnie Label and find something really good
- 7:19Speaker 1: to wear. Now that's what I love it. That's why
- 7:21Speaker 1: I love it because with Amanda's pieces, they're like casual,
- 7:26Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of them are like casual formal,
- 7:29Speaker 1: Like you look put together, you look very cute. Um,
- 7:33Speaker 1: it's not like casual wear. But it's also not fancy
- 7:38Speaker 1: my being ridiculous, you know what I'm talking about. You
- 7:40Speaker 1: can like dress it up or down, like you can
- 7:43Speaker 1: grow with sneakers, you can wear with heels. I just
- 7:45Speaker 1: feel like they're all very like persatile pieces. So yes,
- 7:48Speaker 1: we'll switch over to you for a second in the family. Uh,
- 7:52Speaker 1: what are you looking forward to for Christmas? Like, what
- 7:55Speaker 1: kind of gifts. Are just things that you want to
- 7:57Speaker 1: do during the Christmas holiday? And what are the girls
- 7:59Speaker 1: looking forward to? Yeah? What the girls want. It's so
- 8:02Speaker 1: funny because this is the first year that, like your
- 8:05Speaker 1: Christmas list isn't like a novel. They don't really want
- 8:09Speaker 1: anything this year, and I don't know. I think we're
- 8:12Speaker 1: just looking forward to spending time with family. We've been
- 8:15Speaker 1: watching Christmas movies since like before Halloween, so we love
- 8:19Speaker 1: doing that. Um, yeah, it's kind of it feels different
- 8:23Speaker 1: this year. It's very low key, but we're enjoying it. Okay, Amanda,
- 8:26Speaker 1: So your sister has an amazing foodie Instagram. She cooks
- 8:30Speaker 1: a lot. What is a recipe that she makes that
- 8:34Speaker 1: you just can't help to fully indulge in? Everything she
- 8:37Speaker 1: makes is so good. But she makes really good soups.
- 8:40Speaker 1: She has this lemon chicken sup recipe which is one
- 8:42Speaker 1: of her most popular recipes, And we just made it
- 8:45Speaker 1: here the other day, and I thought that we were
- 8:48Speaker 1: going to have it left over for like a few days,
- 8:50Speaker 1: and we ended up eating it all in one night.
- 8:52Speaker 1: So I would say that's probably my favorite recipe. She's super,
- 8:57Speaker 1: She's so she's so great. I love the way that
- 8:59Speaker 1: you guys are both our houses in your own and
- 9:01Speaker 1: you're on wed. Hey, a minute before we go, we
- 9:03Speaker 1: do have to ask you, um, what do you think
- 9:06Speaker 1: of the season of the Bachelorette? Um. So, I am
- 9:10Speaker 1: not gonna lie, I haven't. I haven't been watching it.
- 9:15Speaker 1: I know. I actually don't have cable, so I just
- 9:19Speaker 1: watched like Netflix and all that stuff. But I keep
- 9:22Speaker 1: up with it online, like on social media, Like I
- 9:24Speaker 1: always know what's going on just because everybody posts about it. Um.
- 9:28Speaker 1: But I love Claire and I love Tasha. I'm happy
- 9:30Speaker 1: that Claire's happy, and Tasia is like one of my
- 9:34Speaker 1: favorite people. I think she makes such a good bachelorette.
- 9:38Speaker 1: It's right now, you're you're spot on. Well hey, I
- 9:41Speaker 1: mean you're the best. Thanks for coming on. Thank you guys,
- 9:44Speaker 1: Thanks Amanda. Bye you guys. We have Caitlin Bristow back,
- 9:49Speaker 1: and she, of course has two businesses that will provide
- 9:53Speaker 1: fantastic gifts for you to wrap under your tree, um
- 9:57Speaker 1: and give to the bat Sler Nation member in your life. Hey, Caitlin, Hi, okay,
- 10:07Speaker 1: so of the two of your businesses, do it with
- 10:10Speaker 1: the scrunches and spades and sparrows like which one. First
- 10:15Speaker 1: of all, actually, I'm gonna drop the myths with you
- 10:17Speaker 1: right now and fight you because you said it wrong.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Do it is it? Just do it's do edit, which
- 10:25Speaker 1: is just no. It's funny because even my own family
- 10:30Speaker 1: called it dud it and some of my friends it's
- 10:33Speaker 1: It's actually kind of funny because Cleo and I, who
- 10:35Speaker 1: is my business partner, we just make jokes all the
- 10:37Speaker 1: time now that we kind of like that people screwed
- 10:39Speaker 1: up because it just gives a funny conversation. Don't worry
- 10:43Speaker 1: about it because my own family doesn't pronounce it right sometimes. Okay, Well,
- 10:46Speaker 1: so what I'm thinking is obviously the wine for wine lovers,
- 10:50Speaker 1: and you know, the hair for honestly, any person who
- 10:53Speaker 1: has good you know, any kind of hair that is
- 10:56Speaker 1: long enough to put in a scrunchy. But what if
- 10:59Speaker 1: you take a bottle and then you put a scrunchy
- 11:02Speaker 1: around it and it's the ultimate Caitlin Bristow gift, you
- 11:06Speaker 1: know what. I'm not gonna lie. That is something I
- 11:08Speaker 1: thought of as soon as I because I came up
- 11:10Speaker 1: with the scrunchy wine first, and then the wine and
- 11:12Speaker 1: I was like, oh my gosh, when I do little
- 11:14Speaker 1: gift boxes, I'm gonna put scrunchies on the wine bottle
- 11:17Speaker 1: and it's it is the perfect gift, and thank you
- 11:20Speaker 1: for saying that. And I mean, there's something to I
- 11:23Speaker 1: think a lot of people are like this, where if
- 11:25Speaker 1: you just give them a bottle of wine as a gift,
- 11:27Speaker 1: who gets mad at that? Like, nobody is mad at
- 11:29Speaker 1: a bottle of wine for a gift. And honestly, I'm
- 11:33Speaker 1: not trying to choot my own horn, but it's the
- 11:35Speaker 1: only wine I drink now because I'm I wanted to
- 11:39Speaker 1: make it so good that I you know, obviously, I
- 11:41Speaker 1: wanted to be something I can stand behind and enjoy
- 11:43Speaker 1: drinking it. So I'm like a wine snob with my
- 11:46Speaker 1: own wine now, Like I I usually I'm like, yeah, whatever,
- 11:48Speaker 1: everybody drink whatever you like. And now I'm like, no,
- 11:51Speaker 1: this is actually the best wine. People love it as
- 11:53Speaker 1: a gift and um, and adding scrunches on top, I mean,
- 11:57Speaker 1: do has a lot of other except stories too, that
- 12:00Speaker 1: are fun, But scrungees on top of the wine bottle,
- 12:02Speaker 1: you can't go wrong even if you don't have hair.
- 12:05Speaker 1: Put it on your wrist. What are some of the
- 12:06Speaker 1: other stuff that you has. Um So, we actually did
- 12:10Speaker 1: a little small collection of doggie dus called um So
- 12:13Speaker 1: Fetch and it's their bandanas, like oh yeah, but actually
- 12:17Speaker 1: Romin's wearing one right now. See it's a little like festive,
- 12:22Speaker 1: a little scarf and it says I'm one Colossie mother Pupper.
- 12:27Speaker 1: So We've got dog bandannas. We did a little line
- 12:29Speaker 1: of masks to see how that would go, and people
- 12:31Speaker 1: really seem to love that. Um We've got headbands and
- 12:34Speaker 1: we're actually coming out with some sweatsuits as well and beanies.
- 12:38Speaker 1: So it's uh, it's fun to always expand something that
- 12:41Speaker 1: you've got going on. So it's it. They do make
- 12:44Speaker 1: really really great gifts and we have great packaging. Being
- 12:47Speaker 1: home in this quarantine has actually been nice for me
- 12:51Speaker 1: to be more involved on the business side of things
- 12:54Speaker 1: with with the dew and Spade and Sparrows, because I'm
- 12:56Speaker 1: able to be on every phone call and kind of
- 13:00Speaker 1: be involved more on the business side of it rather
- 13:03Speaker 1: than just the social media side. And and that's been
- 13:05Speaker 1: a really big learning curve for me and a lot
- 13:08Speaker 1: more challenging than I thought it would be. But that
- 13:10Speaker 1: is something that I'm I'm excited to focus on while
- 13:12Speaker 1: I'm home now is being able to just be more
- 13:14Speaker 1: present and involved with the businesses. So where can people
- 13:17Speaker 1: find these brands? Um? So everything is on my website,
- 13:21Speaker 1: Caitlin Bristo dot com. Um, but it's I mean, if
- 13:24Speaker 1: you want to sign up for the newsletter, you kind
- 13:27Speaker 1: of get first DIBs on a lot of things. Um,
- 13:30Speaker 1: they sell out really really fast, so we try and
- 13:33Speaker 1: make it um like exclusive for people who are signed
- 13:35Speaker 1: up for the newsletter. So everything's on Caitlin Bristow dot com.
- 13:38Speaker 1: And then the wines Instagram is at Spade and Sparrows
- 13:41Speaker 1: and then, um, this is where it gets confusing because
- 13:44Speaker 1: on the scrunchy line it's at do Edit and it
- 13:48Speaker 1: totally looks like dude it there. It is. Alright, guys,
- 13:52Speaker 1: I'm gonna go and buy some right now, especially because
- 13:55Speaker 1: I messed up on the wording. And we love you, Caitlin,
- 14:00Speaker 1: and let's talk to you later before we get into
- 14:15Speaker 1: our next guest, Chris Harrison. I gotta ask you then,
- 14:18Speaker 1: what is your favorite food to eat during Christmas? Like?
- 14:21Speaker 1: What is what's the Christmas dinner table look like at
- 14:23Speaker 1: your house? You know it's I love Ham. I'm a
- 14:27Speaker 1: big ham guy. Uh why does that sound funny? I
- 14:30Speaker 1: don't know, but it is. I kind of said it,
- 14:32Speaker 1: and I giggled to myself. I love ham. I love
- 14:35Speaker 1: to eat a nice, warm biscuit with some butter. Give
- 14:40Speaker 1: me a little biscuit and butter and ham. Um. But
- 14:43Speaker 1: then we get to those things like the red wine.
- 14:45Speaker 1: And the red wine is always dangerous during the holiday
- 14:47Speaker 1: because I'm wear my best outfit and it's somehow splatters
- 14:51Speaker 1: about me. Yeah. Well, luckily we do have oxy clean
- 14:55Speaker 1: for that. Oxy clean is there for us to clean
- 14:58Speaker 1: up any mess we have on our clothes. Thank goodness
- 15:01Speaker 1: for them. Well, hey, we're thankful for a lot of
- 15:03Speaker 1: things that you just said this holiday season, Ashley, but
- 15:05Speaker 1: one we're extra thankful for. We don't hide it, and
- 15:07Speaker 1: on this podcast at all, we think he's just the best.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Next up, our good friend Chris Harrison. Hey, guys, it's
- 15:13Speaker 1: your host, Chris Harrison giving you the best holiday gift idea.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Of course, it's that Manly Bands wedding ring. Guys, are
- 15:22Speaker 1: you looking for that perfect ring? Go to manly bands
- 15:24Speaker 1: dot com check out the Chris Harrison collection. Is there
- 15:27Speaker 1: anything better to find under the tree than your manly
- 15:31Speaker 1: band wedding ring. I don't think so. Very Christmas and
- 15:35Speaker 1: Happy New Year. What's up? Nick? Hi? Ben? How's it going? Man?
- 15:42Speaker 1: Very very meta. I'm about the podcast for the Bile Files.
- 15:45Speaker 1: You guys are podcasting for Almost Famous. I'm at my studio.
- 15:48Speaker 1: You guys are in a respective studios. This is all
- 15:51Speaker 1: it came. This, this all feels right. I think we
- 15:54Speaker 1: need to come up with the new show. I mentioned
- 15:56Speaker 1: this to Ashley a reality TV show called podcast Wars.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Oh wow, is there a war going on? I know
- 16:03Speaker 1: there's there's a war going on. There's a war going
- 16:05Speaker 1: on between us right now that I didn't know of
- 16:07Speaker 1: a war of numbers. We were like, we go behind
- 16:11Speaker 1: each other's backs and we talked about each other's shows,
- 16:14Speaker 1: but then we pretend to be friends in person, you know,
- 16:16Speaker 1: kind of real life. Is that how this works? Yes?
- 16:22Speaker 1: And here okay, yes, yes, that's that's what we do.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Um here at the Almost Famous podcast? Well, Nick, uh,
- 16:30Speaker 1: well a real turn of events considering how this started.
- 16:33Speaker 1: We're actually here to support you and what you're up to,
- 16:36Speaker 1: uh with a essential oils company that you started. So Nick,
- 16:41Speaker 1: why should people out there listening uh consider uh your
- 16:46Speaker 1: company in their holiday gift giving. That's a great question, Ben,
- 16:51Speaker 1: And if your audience has a few minutes, I will
- 16:54Speaker 1: quickly explain. For those of you who aren't aware of
- 16:57Speaker 1: essential oils obviously, uh, they can be very beneficial to oneself. Uh.
- 17:04Speaker 1: Sometimes the essential oil market gets a bad rap because
- 17:07Speaker 1: they really got their claim to fame or their buzz
- 17:10Speaker 1: through multi level marketing companies, which you know, personally I'm
- 17:14Speaker 1: not a fan of. And there you know, I won't
- 17:16Speaker 1: get into that necessarily conversation. But they do have a
- 17:20Speaker 1: real benefit, right. Uh. Sometimes they get over sold. And
- 17:24Speaker 1: what I mean by that is sometimes people like to
- 17:27Speaker 1: promise about some of the things they could or should do.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Um that quite frankly, we don't subscribe to at natural habits,
- 17:34Speaker 1: but they do have a lot of benefits medicinally, whether
- 17:38Speaker 1: it's like helping with headaches or helping you relax or
- 17:40Speaker 1: calm down, you know, sleep, things like that. They can
- 17:43Speaker 1: give a burst of energy, they can support your immune system.
- 17:46Speaker 1: They're not a cure all by any stretch of the imagination.
- 17:49Speaker 1: But more importantly also they're just like a safer way
- 17:51Speaker 1: to like setting your indoor air. So many of us
- 17:53Speaker 1: use things like for breeze, candles, uh, plug ins, those
- 17:59Speaker 1: things are filled with like hoxins and carcinogens like candles
- 18:02Speaker 1: for example. Then listen, I have candles in my house.
- 18:05Speaker 1: There are nice vibe, but like you shouldn't rely on
- 18:07Speaker 1: things like that to sing or into our air. Alternatively,
- 18:10Speaker 1: essential oils have healthy benefits to them. They're clean, uh,
- 18:15Speaker 1: they're safe uh, and natural habits. Specifically, we're USD Organic certified,
- 18:20Speaker 1: which is rare in the essential oil community. A lot
- 18:22Speaker 1: of companies will call themselves a hand percent pier that
- 18:25Speaker 1: they even come up with like made up designations that
- 18:27Speaker 1: are validated by no one, like therapeutic grade. Us D
- 18:31Speaker 1: Organic is as people are very um familiar with it. Right,
- 18:35Speaker 1: it's the third party, Uh, in terms of that, we
- 18:38Speaker 1: have to qualify our products are soils that we use,
- 18:41Speaker 1: our plants that we use, and then ultimately our our
- 18:44Speaker 1: oils are designated by the third party that says these
- 18:48Speaker 1: are organic oils. Right. You know, it's not our word
- 18:51Speaker 1: for you know, have to take our word for. It's
- 18:53Speaker 1: not we're not saying it. It's the U s D
- 18:55Speaker 1: A is saying it. So we believe that our oils
- 18:58Speaker 1: are the best in the business, or say if they're
- 19:00Speaker 1: pure and then you can diffuse them, uh in a diffuser.
- 19:04Speaker 1: We sell diffusers. Uh. You can get diffusers anywhere really,
- 19:09Speaker 1: but it's the oils that really matter. And so whether
- 19:11Speaker 1: you just want to sing your indoor air and have it,
- 19:13Speaker 1: you know, smell really nice and pleasant and then get
- 19:16Speaker 1: them those calming effects um or if you like, for
- 19:19Speaker 1: if you struggle with headaches, like our center Blad is
- 19:22Speaker 1: probably one of the most popular especialized in four blends
- 19:25Speaker 1: because we try to make it real simple for people
- 19:27Speaker 1: to use, because essential oils can get very confusing. There's
- 19:30Speaker 1: so many different ones, right, we have four blends. We
- 19:33Speaker 1: have I think we used a total of like fifteen
- 19:36Speaker 1: or sixteen different essential oils blended into four use use cases. Um.
- 19:41Speaker 1: So like instead of like if you struggle with headaches, um,
- 19:44Speaker 1: you know, people often rely on like i'd be profit, right,
- 19:48Speaker 1: That's like sometimes you have to like I've I will
- 19:51Speaker 1: take a for I have a really bad headache. Sometimes
- 19:53Speaker 1: I have taken ivy profit, but I always trying to
- 19:55Speaker 1: use non invasive ways first, and essential oils can really help.
- 19:59Speaker 1: Or just when I want to relax and sleep, I
- 20:02Speaker 1: use our release bland and things like that, so they help, uh,
- 20:06Speaker 1: you do a variety different things and if nothing else,
- 20:08Speaker 1: is just a safe way to set your room door
- 20:11Speaker 1: air and not spray chemicals or burn carcynergens into your house. Nick,
- 20:16Speaker 1: I can obviously vouch for these products because there was
- 20:19Speaker 1: this one time where I had a headache where I
- 20:21Speaker 1: took an advil, I had like a gatorade, and it
- 20:25Speaker 1: still wasn't going away. And I was like, Okay, let
- 20:28Speaker 1: me try natural habits. So I take out the Center
- 20:32Speaker 1: and it was, though so freaking bizarre, my headache did
- 20:34Speaker 1: go away from that. Yeah, No, I mean it's uh,
- 20:39Speaker 1: it's clinically proven that essential oils can help. Various essential
- 20:45Speaker 1: oils have you know, benefits. For example, peppermint is there's
- 20:49Speaker 1: a lot of peppermint in our center plant and peppermint
- 20:52Speaker 1: is very commonly known to help with with headaches as
- 20:55Speaker 1: well as some essential oils, and when you blend them
- 20:57Speaker 1: they can have additional benefits. So thanks for being a customer, Ashley,

- 23:01Speaker 1: what we all want to talk about. That's what you
- 23:02Speaker 1: and I want to talk about. The sauce of Sundays
- 23:05Speaker 1: with Joe, which I love the title and that gets
- 23:06Speaker 1: super cute. It's very Italian because like Italian families often
- 23:09Speaker 1: will have Sunday dinner, right, like all the family gets together.
- 23:13Speaker 1: That's from background. By the way, I'm Italian, You're full Italian.
- 23:18Speaker 1: I'm actually in Norwegian. Interesting, so I am only Italian,
- 23:24Speaker 1: but everybody thinks because of my last name in the
- 23:26Speaker 1: way that I look that I'm like a d percent Italian.
- 23:29Speaker 1: What is your your dad's Italian? Yeah, my dad's half
- 23:32Speaker 1: Italian and half Lithuanian, and then my mom is one Dutch. Really. Yeah,
- 23:39Speaker 1: that's interesting that so those those Italian jeans are dominant. Um. Okay.
- 23:44Speaker 1: So you've got a couple of food things going on though,
- 23:47Speaker 1: because you have your reviews on your Instagram. I love
- 23:50Speaker 1: the way that your Instagram is basically just turned into
- 23:52Speaker 1: like food reviews. And then we know that we get
- 23:55Speaker 1: to listen to you on click Bait, your new podcast
- 23:59Speaker 1: and click Bait. Then we have your new order, your
- 24:03Speaker 1: your Sundays with Joe sauce, which you can order. You
- 24:08Speaker 1: can order at what I order dot com. So like
- 24:10Speaker 1: it's all on the same website. Yeah, okay, so that's
- 24:13Speaker 1: a little exactly what you should not do when you're
- 24:17Speaker 1: starting a business. But what I did was I was
- 24:20Speaker 1: doing these food blogs and I named it um what
- 24:22Speaker 1: I Ordered by Joe's kind of what I was doing.
- 24:25Speaker 1: So then in the middle of that, I decided to
- 24:28Speaker 1: come out with a sauce. UM So I named the
- 24:31Speaker 1: sauce Sundays with Joe. But it's part of what I order,
- 24:34Speaker 1: you have to go to what I ordered. I'm trying
- 24:37Speaker 1: to get the domain name for the for the website
- 24:41Speaker 1: Sundays with Joe dot com. Um, I hope this this
- 24:44Speaker 1: guy's not listening so he doesn't jack up the price.
- 24:47Speaker 1: Already have a bit on it, so I'm trying to
- 24:49Speaker 1: make it simpler. But you have to go to what
- 24:51Speaker 1: I ordered dot com. It's the best sauce in the world.
- 24:53Speaker 1: I said it yesterday on my Instagram and I mean
- 24:55Speaker 1: it here it is boom beautiful. Oh I've seen it.
- 25:00Speaker 1: I tried to order it. We'll talk about that in
- 25:01Speaker 1: a second. I will text me your address and I'll
- 25:04Speaker 1: send you something. Oh well, okay. So I went to
- 25:07Speaker 1: order it on my phone a couple of weeks, like
- 25:09Speaker 1: when it first came out, Like the day it came out,
- 25:11Speaker 1: I was like, oh, Joe has a sauce. I've got
- 25:12Speaker 1: to try this. And then like something weird was happening
- 25:15Speaker 1: with my payment. My card wasn't like automatically and on
- 25:18Speaker 1: my phone, and I was like, okay, I'll deal it
- 25:19Speaker 1: this later on my computer. And then when I went
- 25:22Speaker 1: to go buy it a couple of days ago, it
- 25:23Speaker 1: was out of stock. Right, you sold out? We did
- 25:26Speaker 1: sell out. Yeah, but yeah, we so we sold out.

- 26:08Speaker 1: so um but yeah, this is a sweet Marinara. We're
- 26:11Speaker 1: gonna have other flavors come next year. We plan on
- 26:15Speaker 1: doing on a rabbiata. Um. There's a few other flavors
- 26:18Speaker 1: that we're gonna have. We're gonna be in grocery stores
- 26:20Speaker 1: come Spring up next year. Um. But right now, yes,
- 26:23Speaker 1: you can order them online. Shoe, how long has this
- 26:26Speaker 1: been in the works for. It's gonna be in grocery
- 26:28Speaker 1: stores already. I have the Moniker grocery store. Joe, you
- 26:31Speaker 1: gotta think I could get into grocery stores? Um, so yeah, yeah,
- 26:35Speaker 1: we uh, I have some good relationships with stores over here,
- 26:39Speaker 1: and we've been working on this for a while. We've
- 26:42Speaker 1: been working on this since the end of April. Okay, wow, okay,
- 26:48Speaker 1: so it has been a long time in the making.
- 26:50Speaker 1: How did you put together the recipe for it? Is
- 26:53Speaker 1: it like a family thing? Did you go and like
- 26:56Speaker 1: taste test tomatoes at like some tomato farm? So what
- 27:00Speaker 1: I did is, there's like a little forest by me,
- 27:02Speaker 1: and I take the stainless steel pot and I go
- 27:05Speaker 1: in the middle of the forest by myself, and I
- 27:07Speaker 1: forage and I pull all the herbs and I you know,
- 27:10Speaker 1: I don't know whether you're kidding or not right now,
- 27:15Speaker 1: my friend and I worked out the recipe and I
- 27:18Speaker 1: had taken um some recipes that I had in the
- 27:22Speaker 1: past from my family and kind of just you know,
- 27:25Speaker 1: through my own little twist on there. And that's kind
- 27:27Speaker 1: of how we did it. Okay, fun, fun, alright. So
- 27:29Speaker 1: is sweet Marinery your favorite type of sauce? Is that
- 27:32Speaker 1: why it came first? Yeah? That is my favorite. It's
- 27:35Speaker 1: my go to. It's to me, it's a Sunday sauce.
- 27:39Speaker 1: And that's why the whole thing with Sunday it's I
- 27:42Speaker 1: think it holds up family tradition and it's very important.
- 27:47Speaker 1: I know, and my family it was to always have
- 27:50Speaker 1: dinner at the house on Sunday. That was like our
- 27:52Speaker 1: one thing. Um. So yeah, some days with Joe. What's
- 27:58Speaker 1: your second favorite type of sauce? Oh? Depending on Like so,
- 28:04Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I'm gonna come out with a
- 28:06Speaker 1: pesto because I'm very picky when it comes to pesto,
- 28:09Speaker 1: and I, um, I don't know how I feel about
- 28:12Speaker 1: a pesto sauce in a jar. Yeah, but if if,
- 28:16Speaker 1: if it's done right, if it's done right, I love
- 28:19Speaker 1: a good pesto. But I would say number two would
- 28:23Speaker 1: be in a rabbiata. I need a little spice in
- 28:24Speaker 1: my life. Okay, I'd like you to make a little
- 28:26Speaker 1: vodka sauce. I like a vacca. Two. We are we're
- 28:29Speaker 1: gonna do a vodka sauce. In question, is there a
- 28:32Speaker 1: difference between like a marinera and a popadura? Um, that's
- 28:37Speaker 1: a good that's a question I should know. I wish
- 28:40Speaker 1: you didn't answer that because I've recently been like I
- 28:44Speaker 1: go through phases with my with my sauce. Sometimes I
- 28:47Speaker 1: just before like a girl a garlic butter in like
- 28:49Speaker 1: olive oil, sauce, and then sometimes I used to like
- 28:53Speaker 1: love vodka, like that was my favorite, And now I'm
- 28:57Speaker 1: moving over to like a pompadoro. But I'm like, is
- 29:00Speaker 1: is the same as marinaria? Just like plain old spaghetti,
- 29:02Speaker 1: but it sounds fancy. Yeah, I think pamadoro is the
- 29:06Speaker 1: same thing. I think. I feel like there's garlic in it,
- 29:12Speaker 1: but there's garlic and pretty much every there better be
- 29:15Speaker 1: garlic in every every in every I think it's just
- 29:19Speaker 1: another name for it. Okay, but I'm just not sure
- 29:23Speaker 1: you're gonna have people listening. You're gonna have a fact
- 29:25Speaker 1: check that, Okay, Okay. My last question for you about
- 29:29Speaker 1: food is, um, what would you pair the sweet marinara
- 29:33Speaker 1: with pasta? Wise? Like, are we going with a cappellini
- 29:37Speaker 1: with a spaghetti with bow ties? What be doing? I like, Um,
- 29:42Speaker 1: so Sunday's for me is more of a rigatoni. Okay,
- 29:47Speaker 1: So I would do riggatoni or of vusilly silly. You
- 29:51Speaker 1: know it's the spiral, Okay, pasta? So those of what
- 29:57Speaker 1: I would care with I would add a touch of
- 30:00Speaker 1: olive oil because I always add a little bit of
- 30:01Speaker 1: alive oil. I would grade parmesan o rigiano and I
- 30:05Speaker 1: think it's really that simple. Maybe maybe some fresh black
- 30:08Speaker 1: pepper and you're good to go. Oh okay, involves a
- 30:13Speaker 1: little a little pork. I just thought of something else
- 30:16Speaker 1: that I think is something that must be spoken about.
- 30:20Speaker 1: My mom says that, like if you get like the
- 30:22Speaker 1: craft shaky parmesan or like any sort of shaky parmesan,
- 30:26Speaker 1: even the stuff in like the Delhi Issle that like
- 30:29Speaker 1: it has Parkle's wood chips in it, it's like not
- 30:32Speaker 1: all cheese. So do you do you have you heard
- 30:36Speaker 1: of this? I I haven't heard that there's wood chips
- 30:41Speaker 1: in it. Yeah, that's new. That's news to me. But
- 30:44Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the already graded parmesan. So
- 30:47Speaker 1: you always grade your own because we do too. Yes,
- 30:50Speaker 1: I'm grading my own unless I personally come out with
- 30:53Speaker 1: the grade of parmesan, which could be down the line
- 30:56Speaker 1: for it. But yeah, I grade my own, and I
- 30:59Speaker 1: like parmesan and riggi an. To me, it's the best
- 31:01Speaker 1: cheese in the world. Yeah, okay. Well, also, like apparently
- 31:05Speaker 1: the wood chips, just to throw that out there, is
- 31:07Speaker 1: for the texture and like to preserve the texture over time. UM.
- 31:11Speaker 1: And that's like it's like, that's like you don't want
- 31:13Speaker 1: to add fake things into your food, right, it's like
- 31:16Speaker 1: a preservative anyway. But well that's what they do with
- 31:20Speaker 1: um when you buy the already made guacamole and grocery stores,
- 31:25Speaker 1: they put the preservatives in there, and then the preservatives
- 31:27Speaker 1: don't taste good. Like you can taste preservatives and stuff
- 31:30Speaker 1: like that. I at least I can, yes, absolutely, especially
- 31:33Speaker 1: with UM. Yeah, I hate that. That's why I'll never
- 31:36Speaker 1: buy like in house like in house quacamole. I slice
- 31:40Speaker 1: my own out. I don't know where we're going with this,
- 31:42Speaker 1: but I slice my own avocados I throw. I I
- 31:45Speaker 1: prefer lemon over lime and salt and pepper, and that's it,
- 31:50Speaker 1: not eat it right out of the out of the shell.
- 31:52Speaker 1: So yeah, let's see. They can't leave us alone and
- 31:56Speaker 1: give us like a hard out time. If we're going
- 31:58Speaker 1: to talk about food, you're just gonna keep We're just
- 32:00Speaker 1: gonna keep going. I had I had a astrom which
- 32:02Speaker 1: for lunch day. Amazing. Did you put it on right?
- 32:07Speaker 1: I did? All right, Joe, thank you so much for
- 32:12Speaker 1: being here. And again remind people where they can get
- 32:15Speaker 1: your new sauce. I think it's a great thing to
- 32:17Speaker 1: put under the Christmas tree, especially for a Bachelor fan. Yeah,
- 32:21Speaker 1: great thing to put under the Christmas tree. Throw it
- 32:23Speaker 1: in a stocking. I mean, the label itself is clean,
- 32:27Speaker 1: The sauce taste delicious. It's my brand. You can go
- 32:31Speaker 1: to what I Ordered dot com. Um, it's right right
- 32:34Speaker 1: when you go onto the website. It is in your
- 32:36Speaker 1: face four ninety nine or three for two. And yeah,
- 32:44Speaker 1: some days with Joe what I Ordered dot Com, I'll
- 32:47Speaker 1: be doing a review on my Instagram as soon as
- 32:49Speaker 1: I get a jar. And so thanks Joe. Well, if
- 32:52Speaker 1: it wasn't obvious for that conversation, I will be eating
- 32:55Speaker 1: some of Joe's sauce soon and I will report back
- 32:58Speaker 1: to you guys with the view. You know what else
- 33:01Speaker 1: needs to come along with Joe sauce. I feel like
- 33:04Speaker 1: I know what direction you're going in. But what Yeah,
- 33:08Speaker 1: Joe sauce is messy. I mean it is sticky. It
- 33:11Speaker 1: is messy. It gets everywhere because it's so good that
- 33:15Speaker 1: you just want to lick it up. Now, oxy clean
- 33:19Speaker 1: is the thing to add to that, because if Joe
- 33:21Speaker 1: sauce gets all over you. Oxy clean is there to
- 33:24Speaker 1: clean it. So basically, if you get Joe's sauce, also
- 33:28Speaker 1: package it maybe with some oxy clean. Next up, we
- 33:32Speaker 1: have Alexis Waters coming in and she is going to
- 33:35Speaker 1: be talking about her hoop ear rings. Alright, guys, we
- 33:48Speaker 1: have Alexis Water, our resident Jersey girl in the house

- 34:08Speaker 1: Hey Alexis hello, Like, the fact that I don't have
- 34:14Speaker 1: a pair on right now is like really disappointing. It's okay,
- 34:18Speaker 1: I wear your pairs enough to make up for that.
- 34:20Speaker 1: I love your earrings. They're so cute, they feel very
- 34:24Speaker 1: well made. I travel with them everywhere. What do you
- 34:29Speaker 1: why buy your ear rings instead of like going to
- 34:32Speaker 1: clares or icing and like buying a pair there. Well,
- 34:36Speaker 1: I do not know a lot in life, but I

- 34:46Speaker 1: soul into this, like I need to touch them, feel them,
- 34:50Speaker 1: like I want the best quality, but like for the

- 34:58Speaker 1: I know a lot of the girls followed me from
- 35:00Speaker 1: The Bachelor are like drunk young girls in college. That's
- 35:05Speaker 1: just my fan base, I guess, Like I really am
- 35:08Speaker 1: a great role model, but um so I just wanted
- 35:13Speaker 1: it to keep like stay affordable. And I mean I
- 35:17Speaker 1: was there too, like I was. I was like I
- 35:19Speaker 1: literally have like seven dollars of my bank account in college,
- 35:21Speaker 1: so like I but I always loved hoops like it's
- 35:25Speaker 1: such a passion of mine and like it's so crazy,
- 35:27Speaker 1: like I literally have like every type of hoop you
- 35:30Speaker 1: can get, like and now I'm expanding, so I'm doing headbands, bracelets,
- 35:37Speaker 1: I'm wanting something tomorrow and like, but it's fun, I mean,
- 35:40Speaker 1: but hoops will always be my main bitch. Sorry, no, no,
- 35:44Speaker 1: I feel and I feel like my sister is always
- 35:46Speaker 1: like when am I shuld where these earrings are? This?
- 35:48Speaker 1: You're these earrings? She's like, actually, it's not difficult for you.
- 35:51Speaker 1: You look best in a pair of hoops. Just put
- 35:52Speaker 1: them on, which which every girl I don't understand, like
- 35:58Speaker 1: when you put hoops, like I always like have a
- 36:01Speaker 1: pair in my bag. Like if I go out with
- 36:04Speaker 1: a girl and she's not wearing them, I'm like, I
- 36:07Speaker 1: just like it's like kind of like a drug deal.
- 36:09Speaker 1: I'm like, girl put these on, and like literally it
- 36:13Speaker 1: changes her like energy, like vibe. Like it's just like
- 36:18Speaker 1: I just I just feel like it gives a girl
- 36:20Speaker 1: confidence and like it just gives a girl a different
- 36:23Speaker 1: type of energy. I don't know how to explain it,
- 36:26Speaker 1: but that's what it separates myself. I feel like from
- 36:29Speaker 1: from it. I love it. There is Claire's, but I
- 36:32Speaker 1: missed Claire's honestly. I mean I was at Clais yesterday,
- 36:36Speaker 1: no joke. I was there like my sister and I
- 36:38Speaker 1: had to get donuts from my hair. Like the bun things.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Oh that's what I want to get, Like the little clips. No, Like, oh,
- 36:44Speaker 1: you're talking about it rents on clips. That would be cool,
- 36:48Speaker 1: but no, I'm talking about like you know, the bun shapers.
- 36:51Speaker 1: Oh yes, yes, yes, okay, I'm looking at your huge
- 36:56Speaker 1: variety on your website. I love the star hoop. That's
- 36:59Speaker 1: really fun. And then I like the base of the
- 37:02Speaker 1: Valentine hoop, which are um, you know, little hearts. And
- 37:06Speaker 1: then I love the good classic on page number one
- 37:09Speaker 1: where it's the what is the what's the classic silver
- 37:12Speaker 1: hoop called? They're just the Dallas, the Dallas hoop number four,
- 37:17Speaker 1: the Dallas hoop number three. Which one would you say
- 37:21Speaker 1: you should send to, like maybe the Newbie hooper in
- 37:24Speaker 1: your life, the Newbie Hooper, the hoop virgins. I think
- 37:30Speaker 1: I would I would send the Classic just because they're
- 37:33Speaker 1: super lightweight and they're like perfect for like any occasion,
- 37:36Speaker 1: and like you're keeping it classy. You're not like Dallas
- 37:40Speaker 1: hoop four inch yet, but yeah, I would say. And
- 37:44Speaker 1: then like if you're like if you have really sensitive ears,
- 37:47Speaker 1: I would think the Bebba who's my best friend? And
- 37:50Speaker 1: they're like super light weight. But a lot of my hoops,
- 37:52Speaker 1: like um, are very very lightweight. Like that was like
- 37:57Speaker 1: like who wants saggy ears? You know, so like that
- 37:59Speaker 1: was a main concern. I love that you designed them
- 38:03Speaker 1: with that in mind. I also see that you have
- 38:05Speaker 1: the Brittney hoop inspired by Britney spears. You're wearing a
- 38:08Speaker 1: free Britney shirt right now, always always, literally I was
- 38:14Speaker 1: going to adjust up as Britney Spears Hoops I Did
- 38:17Speaker 1: It Again today or Mrs Claws, but I think I'm

- 38:24Speaker 1: Did It Again costume does not look well on me
- 38:28Speaker 1: right now, like my body is not stop all right.

- 39:52Speaker 1: Generous coffee, like uh, It's it's the thing I work
- 39:56Speaker 1: hardest on and work for and so uh and who
- 39:59Speaker 1: does love coffee? So I would say that I am
- 40:03Speaker 1: getting my family not only generous coffee, but also a
- 40:07Speaker 1: company I started, uh a few years ago called my
- 40:11Speaker 1: Fan Threads. I'm gonna give him some apparel. You have
- 40:13Speaker 1: some apparel on there, Ashley and uh and so those
- 40:17Speaker 1: two things, um, along with the final company that I have,
- 40:22Speaker 1: black Wolf Skincare for men, because I'm telling you this,
- 40:25Speaker 1: Jess's brothers love this Black Wolf stuff and so it's
- 40:28Speaker 1: always just if I just buy a bunch of Black Wolf,
- 40:31Speaker 1: it's the best gifts. So coffee, T shirts, skincare. Now,
- 40:35Speaker 1: I know that with Generous Coffee and with my Fan Threads,
- 40:39Speaker 1: a lot of it goes to charity. So you're not
- 40:41Speaker 1: just giving a gift to the person receiving the physical item,
- 40:44Speaker 1: but you're giving a gift to really the world. Can
- 40:46Speaker 1: you just like briefly just remind people the good they're doing. Yes,
- 40:50Speaker 1: so they purchased one of those, Yes, So Generous I
- 40:52Speaker 1: don't take a salary from and I don't make any
- 40:54Speaker 1: money off of and so none of the owners do.
- 40:56Speaker 1: And so anything sold, percent of the profits are donated
- 41:00Speaker 1: to nonprofits and social causes that are fighting human and
- 41:03Speaker 1: facing injustice around the world. So, like you're buying coffee,
- 41:06Speaker 1: you're buying T shirts and then it just directly gives back.
- 41:09Speaker 1: It's the Passion Project. And here's a cool thing the
- 41:11Speaker 1: almost same as podcast allows me to do that, right,
- 41:14Speaker 1: Like doing this podcast allows me to work for Generous
- 41:17Speaker 1: for free. Uh. That's a big deal and something that
- 41:20Speaker 1: I'm super passionate about. So if you're looking for great
- 41:22Speaker 1: coffee or a great T shirt or whatever and you
- 41:25Speaker 1: want to do it and give back until the cool
- 41:27Speaker 1: story behind it will go to Generous. Um Ashley, you
