• 0:04
  Welcome to Uncluttered and Unfiltered, the podcast urging
• 0:08
  you to let it go and don't look back, with nationally acclaimed
• 0:12
  professional organizer Christine Stone and self-proclaimed Hot
• 0:17
  Damn Mess radio and TV personality Eden Kendall.
• 0:21
  Welcome everyone to uncluttered and unfiltered.
• 0:23
  We are the podcast for women over 50 I'm Eden Kendall
• 0:27
  Christine Stone is with me Christine as a professional
• 0:29
  organizer and I am professionally unorganized but
• 0:32
  getting better every single day for for being a part of this
• 0:35
  podcast I. Agree, I think you're doing
• 0:37
  really well. Thank you so much.
• 0:39
  We have some great organizational tips coming your
• 0:42
  way in future episodes. Today we have a an interesting
• 0:46
  topic and if you haven't said this in the last 24 hours, I
• 0:51
  would be shocked. But our topic today is has the
• 0:54
  world gone crazy? So the answer is of course yes,
• 1:00
  of course yes, and. I agree.
• 1:02
  If you haven't said that at least once, I don't believe it.
• 1:07
  I know if you go back through time, we have had many moments
• 1:12
  in our lives where we've thought the world's gone crazy.
• 1:16
  I mean, everyone has lost their damn minds.
• 1:19
  But never so much as I think this week where it just feels
• 1:24
  like because we had so many things going on this week, this
• 1:27
  is the week we recorded. We're recording this two days
• 1:30
  after Super Bowl, yes. And so of course, you've got
• 1:32
  everybody who thinks their opinion on the Super Bowl, the
• 1:35
  Super Bowl matters. Right.
• 1:37
  Which, by the way, I didn't even know who was playing.
• 1:39
  Oh, you didn't know about Bad Bunny?
• 1:41
  No, not. Oh, you didn't know who the
• 1:42
  team? I didn't.
• 1:43
  Know who the teams were? Well, my husband had to tell me
• 1:46
  like the day of the Super Bowl. So I'm really not invested like
• 1:50
  everyone else. And even the halftime show.
• 1:53
  I just, I think I kind of tuned out of that a a few years back.
• 1:57
  I I I think. I just think that the halftime
• 2:00
  show should reflect pop culture and I think.
• 2:03
  Right, I agree. It was very reflective of pop
• 2:05
  culture, and it was also and. We're old, we admit it.
• 2:08
  Yeah, I mean, I I enjoyed it, but I'm not, I'm not here to get
• 2:11
  into any kind of battles over it because, you know, that's not
• 2:14
  what this is about. What we're saying is, though,
• 2:16
  everybody takes things to the NTH degree and has to be so
• 2:20
  opinionated and turn everything into such a big ordeal right
• 2:23
  now. The big news story as of the
• 2:25
  recording of this is the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
• 2:30
  And that's. Tragic.
• 2:31
  That's we. Hope there will be more
• 2:33
  resolution in two days from now when this.
• 2:37
  Podcast is so we're. Praying on that, but again,
• 2:41
  another example of what in the world.
• 2:44
  Is going. On and it's such a cliche when
• 2:46
  people say I didn't have that on my bingo card, but my gosh.
• 2:49
  I definitely didn't though. What a story.
• 2:52
  And not only that, what is the point of you know what I mean?
• 2:57
  Like she's it's an elderly woman who needs medication.
• 3:01
  Like, you understand if back in the day, remember when it was
• 3:04
  like you'd kidnap kids when they'd want, yeah, the Limburg
• 3:08
  baby. And but this isn't that.
• 3:11
  This is like a new thing. As of today, we don't know if it
• 3:15
  really is a kidnapping, right? These are some other people
• 3:17
  jumping on trying to get some big.
• 3:19
  It's just and it everything points to in this moment and I
• 3:23
  keep wanting to say that because again, things change so
• 3:26
  drastically daily, although in this case it seems like that's
• 3:30
  not. Happening.
• 3:30
  I agree. I'm watching a lot of what's
• 3:33
  different now is you have every former FBI person has a social
• 3:37
  media account and they are weighing in.
• 3:40
  There is one lady I like who I mean she was at her kids soccer
• 3:44
  game or something and she's like, I'm in my car right now
• 3:46
  because everyone wants to know what I think about the latest
• 3:48
  video. And she always talks about like,
• 3:52
  well, from what I understand and investigations the routine is to
• 3:56
  do this and she really thinks that they have nothing that.
• 4:00
  They have. I don't think they have anything
• 4:01
  either. And you know me, I'm a crime.
• 4:03
  You're a crime junkie. I'm a crime which we're about to
• 4:05
  get to in a minute. Right.
• 4:06
  I just, I don't, I've never seen anything like this.
• 4:11
  And you know, I watched 2020, Dateline, 48 hours, you name it,
• 4:16
  everything on the Oxygen channel, and I don't think I've
• 4:20
  ever seen anything like this. This is so bizarre.
• 4:24
  And it really seems like that Sheriff is out of his depth.
• 4:29
  Oh, definitely. But taking every opportunity for
• 4:32
  his 15 minutes of. Fame, yes, that's what I felt
• 4:34
  too. I felt like he was really into
• 4:36
  the fame thing. And the only thing I just feel
• 4:41
  like she's a celebrity. Like everyone knows who Savannah
• 4:44
  Guthrie is. Everyone does.
• 4:46
  That's the part that I think I'm not understanding.
• 4:49
  Like she has. So like, if it was just someone
• 4:52
  off your mom or my mom, I, you know, I don't know if they'd be
• 4:55
  giving it this kind of attention.
• 4:57
  Certainly the president would be would not be.
• 4:59
  Involved. No, not at all.
• 5:01
  And I think that's what this has been just captivating 24 hours a
• 5:06
  day, every news cycle, every social media, Instagram talk.
• 5:11
  This is why it's so unusual because she's a celebrity and
• 5:16
  her mother's 84 years old. It's just the whole thing makes
• 5:20
  it. That's why I said the world is
• 5:21
  going crazy and my. Heart is broken for Savannah in
• 5:25
  that there are all of these speculators saying, well, if she
• 5:29
  wasn't famous, if she hadn't brought the Today Show to her
• 5:32
  mom's house a while back, if she hadn't done it.
• 5:34
  But that's what makes her relatable.
• 5:36
  But you. Can't.
• 5:37
  You can't play that game. You can't, no.
• 5:40
  And that's what makes her relatable, that she's that kind
• 5:43
  of person. That would introduce us.
• 5:45
  To her mom. Yeah, that would.
• 5:47
  I know who. I'd like to see her and her mom
• 5:49
  together. You know what I mean?
• 5:50
  If it's that kind of show. Yeah.
• 5:53
  That the Today show is So I just.
• 5:55
  I feel for her family. Like I said, I've never seen
• 5:59
  anything like this before. And I hope it ends.
• 6:02
  Hopefully never again and hopefully by by the time you're
• 6:04
  hearing this one way or another. Hopefully we want obviously a
• 6:09
  good resolution, but whatever the case may be, hopefully by
• 6:13
  the time this episode, by the time you're listening to this,
• 6:15
  we do know a little more. Now you are true crime junkie
• 6:19
  and you did insist that I watch. Now it would not be my choice of
• 6:23
  what to watch, but you insisted that I watch a documentary
• 6:26
  series called Handsome Devil. I think it's called The Handsome
• 6:30
  Devil, The Charming Killer, about Wade Wilson.
• 6:35
  Yeah. Who?
• 6:36
  Because that is the name of the character in the movie.
• 6:38
  Deadpool was also called at one time, The Deadpool Killer, This
• 6:42
  guy. So we watched it last night
• 6:43
  because you told us to watch it 3 episodes.
• 6:46
  Because the topic we were talking about, because has the
• 6:49
  world gone crazy? And I said, Oh my gosh, I just
• 6:52
  watched this documentary on something that I said to my
• 6:56
  husband. Has the world gone absolutely
• 6:58
  crazy? OK so here's why this
• 7:01
  documentary stands out. You can find a million
• 7:04
  documentaries on true crime, right?
• 7:06
  This guy is so good looking and charming with the dimples and
• 7:11
  the whole deal that women all over the world.
• 7:16
  Were world. We're we're doing a GoFundMe.
• 7:19
  They were trying to get him to pay attention to them.
• 7:24
  He had multiple women calling him, putting money in his his
• 7:28
  canteen. Well, let's say what he did
• 7:30
  first. Oh.
• 7:31
  Yeah, let's go ahead. He murdered two women and
• 7:35
  admitted it like as if he were eating breakfast, like when he
• 7:39
  was talking to the police. Like, yeah, I did.
• 7:41
  I killed her and. The second one he ran over. 10
• 7:44
  times, yeah. I wanted her to be like
• 7:46
  spaghetti or something, he said. So he very much admitted that he
• 7:51
  did this. This is not, oh, you know, so
• 7:54
  these women were so enamored, and I'm talking social media
• 7:59
  everywhere, TikTok, Instagram, everywhere, that they were
• 8:03
  acting like he didn't do it even though he admitted it and still
• 8:06
  admitted it, like he wasn't trying to hide it.
• 8:09
  There was one woman who even after it came out in court that
• 8:14
  there were multiple women that were considered by themselves to
• 8:19
  be his girlfriend. Yeah, he had lots of
• 8:20
  girlfriends. She still stayed in court every
• 8:22
  day, still paid for all of the outfits that he would wear into
• 8:26
  the courtroom, still put money on his commissary or canteen, as
• 8:29
  they called it. They, these women were angry
• 8:33
  when his own father testified against him.
• 8:36
  They were mad at the dad. They're like, well, of course
• 8:38
  he's bad with a dad like that. The dad had a recorded phone
• 8:42
  call where the son admitted everything to him, so he turned
• 8:45
  him in. And then people harassed him on
• 8:48
  social media. He beat up an ex.
• 8:51
  A girlfriend was arrested. She testified against him.
• 8:55
  They ruined her on social. Media.
• 8:57
  Yeah. They gave her death threats.
• 8:58
  How could you do that to him? Yeah, poor Wade.
• 9:00
  Yeah, yeah, poor Wade. And then when he was in prison,
• 9:04
  he already had tattoos from the neck down, but then he tattooed
• 9:08
  his face, like, so disfiguring, like, just the most bizarre
• 9:14
  thing. Swastikas.
• 9:15
  Swastikas. And his lawyer was Jewish.
• 9:18
  Yeah, OK. Which?
• 9:20
  This whole thing is insane. Which you could tell how much
• 9:24
  the lawyer loved him because every time the the prosecution
• 9:28
  would give a big long spiel, he'd say we have no, we have no
• 9:33
  reply, we have nothing right. We have nothing.
• 9:36
  The guy's. Crazy.
• 9:37
  Yeah, even the the final, you know, when they were seeking the
• 9:40
  death penalty, the only thing the defense attorney could
• 9:43
  really grab onto was at least I'm going to keep you alive.
• 9:47
  Which Spoiler alert. Anyway.
• 9:49
  But he his defense was, look at this guy, he's clearly lost his
• 9:55
  mind. That was how he was able to try
• 9:57
  and defend him, but it didn't happen.
• 9:59
  I thought he had already been put to death, but I guess he's
• 10:01
  still alive. No, you know when you get the
• 10:03
  death penalty, it goes on for like 30 years.
• 10:06
  I don't even know why they have it, because really, you live a
• 10:09
  long, long time after that. So anyway.
• 12:09
  Yeah, but yeah, I think it just goes back to show you I blame
• 12:13
  everything that everyone's going crazy about, whether it's you
• 12:17
  have kids and anything is social media.
• 12:20
  I think social media is made any little thing turn like the
• 12:26
  biggest thing in the whole wide world.
• 12:28
  He's given people fame that normally would never have fame,
• 12:32
  has had people making money just sitting home doing social media.
• 12:37
  So they're not really out in the world, you know what I mean?
• 12:40
  Like, I just think social media has really had a major impact
• 12:46
  on, I mean, to do a GoFundMe for a guy like this and what they
• 12:51
  raised like 90. 1090 thousand. $1000 for a serial killer?
• 12:57
  Yeah, it's. Crazy.
• 12:58
  If he had not been caught, he no doubt would have continued on
• 13:02
  this spring. He was just in the mood.
• 13:04
  This is basically what he said. I just woke up feeling it.
• 13:07
  Yeah, I just want to kill people, he said.
• 13:09
  That was it. There was no reason for it.
• 13:11
  He just felt like doing it. Yeah.
• 13:14
  And you admit to everybody anyway.
• 13:15
  So that's, that's another example.
• 13:17
  Here's a here's a yet another example.
• 13:19
  And I have to give you a lot of credit for this one.
• 13:22
  Recently I reached out to you and I said, have you seen Doctor
• 13:25
  Peter Attia on 60 minutes? He's the longevity Doctor Who.
• 13:30
  They did an entire episode and some plus.
• 13:33
  Yes, on him. Talking about all of the
• 13:35
  different ways that people could extend their life and live.
• 13:39
  $1,000,000 go ahead. Yeah.
• 13:41
  So yeah, because he's a concierge Dr. that charges a
• 13:43
  half $1,000,000 just to be. Just to be seen.
• 13:46
  Just to get just. Nothing else.
• 13:48
  Half a million. Dollars.
• 13:49
  You were kind of saying, well, you know, he's not accessible to
• 13:52
  everyone and he kind of gives me the ick.
• 13:54
  I did say. That Yeah.
• 13:55
  So you said that. OK, Fast forward to a few weeks
• 13:58
  later when the Epstein file e-mail are released.
• 14:02
  Here's Doctor Peter Attia, best buds with Jeffrey Epstein.
• 14:06
  In the best vile emails. Vile emails saying that eating
• 14:10
  blankety blank is low fat and no no response on if it's gluten
• 14:14
  free and just disgusting telling him how much he envies his life.
• 14:19
  And you know, of course, Jeffrey Epstein would be the perfect
• 14:23
  patient with all the money in the world and wanting to live
• 14:27
  the life of a 20 year old dude because he's got so much sex
• 14:30
  he's got to have right with these underage women.
• 14:33
  And so, yeah, so 60 Minutes has since pulled the episode.
• 14:38
  So had we done what I suggested and done an entire episode on
• 14:43
  this 60 Minutes episode, you wouldn't be able to see it
• 14:45
  anywhere because 60 Minutes is like, what?
• 14:48
  What? Peter Attia episode.
• 14:50
  Andy was supposed to be a regular.
• 14:52
  Yeah and yeah. He was a CBS correspondent.
• 14:55
  Yeah, and now they pulled that too.
• 14:57
  No, thank you. I just, I, I just think when you
• 15:01
  are only giving information to people who can afford it, I
• 15:06
  don't know if I buy it, it's almost like a what is it those
• 15:09
  scams where you have to buy into it and then yes.
• 15:13
  Like everything online, yeah, they're gonna give you a little
• 15:15
  nugget. Yeah, they're gonna give you a
• 15:16
  little nugget. And then that's.
• 15:18
  That right so and only if you're rich can you live forever.
• 15:20
  If you're middle class or poor, you're gonna die.
• 15:23
  And that's. You know, why would you want to
• 15:24
  live forever if you're just medium?
• 15:26
  Right, right. If you're just mediocre, you
• 15:28
  shouldn't live at all. So I mean just.
• 15:30
  Do you think you are? Yeah, so I did get the ick from
• 15:33
  him, but anyway. You were right to get the ick
• 15:35
  from him. So that's one of the many
• 15:37
  there's so many great examples of have the world gone crazy
• 15:40
  Now? I saw something recently when I
• 15:43
  ran this by you this we're going to we said we were going to do
• 15:45
  this in another episode and we will at more length.
• 15:48
  But this is something you've known about forever.
• 15:50
  I only recently learned of it when you would see these women
• 15:55
  and they had these high cheekbones.
• 15:57
  I just thought, oh, that's filler or or what have you.
• 16:01
  I did not recognize or learn that there's this thing called
• 16:04
  buckle. Is it buckle fat buckle fat
• 16:07
  removal where they're getting from the inside of their mouth,
• 16:11
  all of the cheek fat sucked out. It's like liposuction from the
• 16:15
  inside of your mouth. And they have these inordinately
• 16:19
  high cheekbones. And there are all these before
• 16:21
  afters of like Kelly and Sharon Osbourne is what brought it to
• 16:24
  my attention. Or just name any celebrity fill
• 16:28
  in the right here and they look completely different but they
• 16:31
  have this perfect facial structure.
• 16:33
  Right. And you'd known about this for a
• 16:35
  long time? I'm only just seeing.
• 16:36
  It only because I'm now seeing which I said, what will happen
• 16:40
  is they're going to regret it and wish they had that and sure
• 16:43
  enough, now that's what's happening.
• 16:46
  So that's why I knew about it, because it's already flipped.
• 16:48
  They're regretting it because as you age right, one thing you
• 16:51
  don't want is less fat in your. Face.
• 16:54
  Exactly that to me was a prime example of has the world gone
• 16:58
  crazy? Because what in the world?
• 17:01
  I mean, if you were just here from if you just time dropped
• 17:05
  here and you were in a time machine from anywhere, the lip
• 17:08
  filler, the Botox, all of it would sound crazy to you.
• 17:10
  And that's not to say I don't have plenty of Botox floating
• 17:13
  around in this ear face, but it would sound crazy to you like,
• 17:16
  oh, you're going to take that Botulism that we try to avoid
• 17:18
  so, so much and inject it. But this the fat removal?
• 17:23
  What? I know, I think, I think every
• 17:27
  year, every six months there'll be something new.
• 17:31
  So just get ready. I just think every year there's
• 17:35
  something new out there that somebody's going to do.
• 17:37
  That's the new norm. And then like with everything,
• 17:42
  there'll be something newer than that and you'll regret you did
• 17:45
  that and it's just never ending. I just think it's a never ending
• 17:48
  cycle. What are we going to do?
• 17:51
  I mean, the world has. Gone crazy.
• 17:56
  And that's, you know, I have to say this is this is one of the
• 18:00
  reasons and I bet any mental health professional would agree
• 18:04
  with this. And I'm not one, obviously, but
• 18:06
  being organized is one of the ways that we can, within our own
• 18:11
  lives, kind of combat this feeling of everything's going
• 18:14
  crazy, everything's going out of control.
• 18:15
  We don't have a lot of control over a lot of things, but we can
• 18:17
  control that. Well, and that's why I also say
• 18:20
  when people, especially in the past few years, have become home
• 18:24
  bodies, there's a reason for that because you can't predict
• 18:28
  what's going to happen outside your front door.
• 18:30
  Really. You really can't anymore.
• 18:32
  I mean, the most bizarre things can happen and you can't predict
• 18:35
  it when you're home in your home.
• 18:38
  It's your safe space, so that's the only area you can control
• 18:43
  from the craziness that is going on right now in the world.
• 18:48
  Even people getting like you said over a halftime show, like
• 18:52
  I don't even understand all the all the hype over even after,
• 18:57
  even before. It's like, come on, there's got
• 19:00
  to be something more important in the world.
• 19:02
  I mean, you know what I mean. And people do relate it to
• 19:05
  things that are more important in the world for sure.
• 19:07
  And I'm not taking, I don't want to discount that that have,
• 19:10
  however, you do need a place to escape to.
• 19:13
  You have to be able to at least shut things down.
• 19:16
  And so, you know, one of the places that you have always
• 19:19
  recommended that people pay very close attention to is the
• 19:21
  bedroom. And we've had episodes on
• 19:24
  organizing your bedroom. And I suggest you get back to
• 19:26
  our catalog for that. But I think that would be a
• 19:28
  great place to start in a situation where you're starting
• 19:31
  to feel that overwhelming feeling.
• 19:33
  Well, and I see a lot of people once I leave and have done my
• 19:38
  job, that's what they start or to feel is it's you now have
• 19:42
  created a peaceful sanctuary. And so I think until things calm
• 19:48
  down, I don't know if they ever will to be quite honest with
• 19:51
  you, but starting in your own home is the best place to start
• 19:56
  for some peace and quiet and creating an environment that
• 20:00
  calms you down and. Leaves you to the point where
• 20:04
  when you do have to leave the house, because we all have to
• 20:06
  leave the house, that you have a place to decompress to.
• 20:10
  At the end of the day, that isn't as bad as the outside
• 20:13
  world. And in the end interest of
• 20:15
  having that one specific tip that is a take away.
• 20:17
  And I'm I'm taking this from other episodes that we've done
• 20:21
  lighting in the bedroom. I know you find that to be a
• 20:23
  very important. Thing.
• 20:24
  Oh, yes, I find that very important thing, whether it's
• 20:29
  the light bulbs you choose. I mean, even down to the light
• 20:32
  bulbs you choose, I think having no clutter in the bedroom
• 20:36
  whatsoever, none going in your night stands and organizing in
• 20:41
  the drawers and getting rid of exercise equipment that you
• 20:45
  never use in there. If you meant to get drapes and
• 20:49
  they're sitting on the floor because you haven't hung them,
• 20:51
  hang them up. You know, if you need a new
• 20:54
  ceiling fan because that one's broken, invest in a new ceiling
• 20:58
  fan. Like, do whatever you have to do
• 21:01
  in your environment to create peace and calm.
• 21:03
  Trust me, it matters and it makes a huge difference.
• 21:08
  All right, because you can't control what else is going on,
• 21:12
  but you can control your own space.
• 21:13
  And starting the bedroom is the tip for today.
• 21:16
