Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
0:03
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
0:06
Speaker 2: It's almost famous podcast. We're here today to discuss all
0:10
Speaker 2: the latest happenings in Bachelor Nation. But before we get
0:13
Speaker 2: into that, Ashley, last time we spoke, it was just
0:17
Speaker 2: a few days before the festive holidays. How was your Thanksgiving?
0:23
Speaker 3: It was wonderful. How is yours?
0:26
Speaker 2: It was great. We did the Bloody Mary Bar, which
0:29
Speaker 2: was a blast. A lot of neighbors showed up. I mean,
0:33
Speaker 2: the house was the house was packed.
0:35
Speaker 3: You hosted one of the bloody man.
0:37
Speaker 2: Oh no goodness, okay, no, just down the street here.
0:41
Speaker 2: That was It's such a good idea in the morning
0:44
Speaker 2: to have this. It's kind of a good warm up.
0:47
Speaker 2: It's early, you know, the kids get to play with
0:50
Speaker 2: their friends before they go play with their cousins. It's
0:53
Speaker 2: a great way to wear them out. When he was
0:55
Speaker 2: a star at it, she's been a star for the
0:57
Speaker 2: last few days. We came back here, had a big,
1:01
Speaker 2: big early dinner, like lunch dinner, like a two thirty,
1:05
Speaker 2: and then just chilled out the rest of the day.
1:07
Speaker 2: It was awesome. It was great. That is awesome, relaxing day.
1:10
Speaker 3: So I have a question for you.
1:11
Speaker 4: You were talking on the other podcast about how you
1:16
Speaker 4: always have the.
1:16
Speaker 3: TV on and you have you know, football on.
1:19
Speaker 4: But Jess is really particular about when you screen time.
1:24
Speaker 3: How do you have her? How do you deal with that?
1:27
Speaker 2: Yeah? So, I mean we didn't have any TV on
1:30
Speaker 2: when we were eating, that was all just separate. But afterwards, well,
1:35
Speaker 2: typically Winnie is at this point so distracted on the
1:40
Speaker 2: floor with somebody doing like a book. It's not like
1:44
Speaker 2: she's sitting there glued into the TV.
1:46
Speaker 4: Okay, So that's my question, Like on lazy days like Thanksgiving,
1:52
Speaker 4: is that considered screen time if they're like doing other stuff.
1:56
Speaker 2: No, because they're not focused, like I mean, at least
1:58
Speaker 2: in our household. I'm guess it's different for every family,
2:01
Speaker 2: but for us, I think it's a little bit of
2:04
Speaker 2: the laxed like mindset of Okay, the TV's on, but
2:08
Speaker 2: when he's not watching it, she's actually like has her
2:11
Speaker 2: back turned to it, and so somebody is engaging her
2:13
Speaker 2: in something other than the TV the whole time. I think,
2:17
Speaker 2: like the by definition here it would be, is a
2:21
Speaker 2: screen the source of entertainment for Winny or not? If
2:26
Speaker 2: the screen's the source of entertainment, and we can tell
2:29
Speaker 2: it's a source of entertainment. Then it's typically like, let's
2:32
Speaker 2: pull her out, take her upstairs with the screen's not on.
2:35
Speaker 2: If it's on and she's doing her own thing, not
2:38
Speaker 2: even a problem, like totally.
2:40
Speaker 3: Cool, Okay. So that's always like my debate.
2:43
Speaker 4: I'm like, if I'm watching a show that's for me
2:46
Speaker 4: and they're just like playing around the living room, is
2:49
Speaker 4: that like fine? Is this considered their screen time for
2:52
Speaker 4: the day? Because that makes me feel guilty, and then
2:54
Speaker 4: it makes me feel like I can ever watch TV
2:56
Speaker 4: for myself.
2:57
Speaker 3: Sure, relaxed during the weekend.
2:59
Speaker 2: No, I mean like at night when I'm giving Winnie
3:04
Speaker 2: the bottle, I have the TV on when he's not
3:07
Speaker 2: watching it, but it's on.
3:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, you mean dedicated screen time.
3:11
Speaker 2: She's yeah, she's gluing in. She like if you're if
3:14
Speaker 2: the boys sat next to you and we're like, mom,
3:16
Speaker 2: I'm gonna watch this, Yeah, I'd say that's it. But
3:19
Speaker 2: it just a glancing like look, or there's a noise
3:22
Speaker 2: that goes on and she checks it out like not
3:24
Speaker 2: a problem. And it's kind of fun because at this
3:28
Speaker 2: point I can tell she so easily could get addicted,
3:32
Speaker 2: just like we do as adults. She'd get a dick
3:34
Speaker 2: to the screen. She loves like pulling my phone if
3:38
Speaker 2: I have it sitting on a counter or something and
3:40
Speaker 2: holding it.
3:41
Speaker 4: It's the phone and the iPad that I've found to
3:44
Speaker 4: be the issues.
3:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean so I think I think that's by
3:48
Speaker 2: our definition, how we're doing it. And I kind of
3:51
Speaker 2: plan on doing it this way for as long as
3:54
Speaker 2: we possibly can until it gets weird for her. But
3:58
Speaker 2: I would rather, you know, ask her to play with
4:03
Speaker 2: something that's not a screen or a toy on the
4:06
Speaker 2: ground and do that with her. I mean it's a
4:08
Speaker 2: little harder, yes, for me, because I don't get to
4:09
Speaker 2: necessarily just chill out. But I don't know as a
4:12
Speaker 2: parent if you just get to chill out too often
4:15
Speaker 2: during the days.
4:17
Speaker 3: Hey, Hayden doesn't let us.
4:19
Speaker 4: So we really do enjoy like our seven to nine
4:23
Speaker 4: o'clock like family TV time, especially now you're like a
4:27
Speaker 4: Christmas movie.
4:28
Speaker 3: But Hayden won't do it. Dawson is wow.
4:32
Speaker 4: He will want to snuggle like hug you for two hours.
4:36
Speaker 3: While you bond over a movie and that is so odd.
4:39
Speaker 4: We love it so so much, and at almost four,
4:44
Speaker 4: I think it's totally appropriate and it's cool. Like Jared
4:48
Speaker 4: and I like will bond over our favor things. I
4:49
Speaker 4: still predominantly keep him in like nineties oriented TV full
4:54
Speaker 4: houses our go to.
4:55
Speaker 3: I pretty much basically don't consider for house screen time.
5:00
Speaker 4: Because it is so wholesome and lesson oriented that I'm like, well.
5:05
Speaker 3: How does this even count?
5:07
Speaker 4: But he that's really fun. But that Hayden, like we
5:11
Speaker 4: have like maybe twenty minutes. If he has a snack
5:13
Speaker 4: in a movie for twenty minutes, then it's like, all right,
5:16
Speaker 4: I'll take him upstairs or downstairs or whatnot.
5:18
Speaker 3: But he's just like, hello, family, what's play?
5:22
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, And that's fun. It is, and it you know,
5:25
Speaker 2: it's I have to in those moments, you know, Colts
5:29
Speaker 2: Game's on, I'm glueden and she's up in my business.
5:33
Speaker 2: I have to remember like this, I'm going to be
5:35
Speaker 2: a lot happier being on the floor with her in
5:39
Speaker 2: four years and I am like checked out only watching
5:43
Speaker 2: the game, like hey, little baby girl, get away from me,
5:46
Speaker 2: Like that's crazy. So I we just kind of do it,
5:50
Speaker 2: and it's nice my parents are out here, when Jess's
5:52
Speaker 2: parents are out here. You know, we do have a
5:54
Speaker 2: lot of visitors because we live far away. You know,
5:58
Speaker 2: you can kind of pass her off too to play
6:00
Speaker 2: with somebody and they're ye, so down. Yeah, Like we
6:04
Speaker 2: only have one, so it's a little different for us.
6:08
Speaker 4: Here's here's the two of them. Yeah, close the door,
6:11
Speaker 4: we have alone time. It is a huge, huge difference,
6:14
Speaker 4: you know what. We're both kind of at a crappy
6:16
Speaker 4: stage with like the couch and the baby because Hayden
6:20
Speaker 4: and you, I'm sure they'll still tumble off the couch
6:23
Speaker 4: and you still have to worry about that. Yeah, like
6:25
Speaker 4: if I PLoP him on my bed, oh he get
6:27
Speaker 4: a concussion?
6:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, he could break his neck falling off my bed.
6:31
Speaker 2: I mean, we've had close calls and it's the scariest
6:33
Speaker 2: I don't know if you even know.
6:34
Speaker 4: Hayden fell off the bed and then Dawson had fell
6:37
Speaker 4: off the couch when he was this age.
6:39
Speaker 2: It's the scariest thing. It rocks your world. Like we
6:42
Speaker 2: we haven't had a fall yet, but we've had a
6:45
Speaker 2: close call. Like, oh my gosh, she started crawling all
6:48
Speaker 2: of a sudden. We never knew she could. And now
6:50
Speaker 2: she's at the edge and you know, both of us
6:53
Speaker 2: are diving like ten foot across the floor like you
6:56
Speaker 2: know the athletes we once were. Yeah, it's scary and
6:59
Speaker 2: it will rock you. Your heart rate will raise and
7:02
Speaker 2: you won't forget it. And so we have we've been
7:05
Speaker 2: very cautious of this now. Yeah, and little babies are
7:09
Speaker 2: just everywhere, like they just tumble around and roll around
7:14
Speaker 2: and contort themselves.
7:16
Speaker 3: And exactly contorting.
7:19
Speaker 2: It's it's it's a lot of fun. But it's been great.
7:22
Speaker 2: And I haven't traveled in weeks. Now, that's awesome. I'm
7:25
Speaker 2: so happy for you. Yeah, I'm feeling very very much
7:28
Speaker 2: like caught up centered, got some good winny is good
7:33
Speaker 2: winning time and means so yeah, life's life's fun. And
7:37
Speaker 2: then we'll pick it back up again here for a
7:39
Speaker 2: little bit before Christmas, and then we'll come back afterwards
7:43
Speaker 2: and next year will be a lot slower for me,
7:46
Speaker 2: not professionally, I don't want to say that, but it's
7:49
Speaker 2: going to be a lot slower with travel. That's my goal. Okay,
7:52
Speaker 2: how do I make that happen with gold?
7:54
Speaker 3: I don't know. I was like, how are you not
7:55
Speaker 3: going to slow up professionally?
7:57
Speaker 5: But you're also going I have no You'll figure it out, Okay, Hey.
8:13
Speaker 2: Let's dive in the headlines. A weird switch because I'm
8:16
Speaker 2: just in a good mood from the holidays, relaxed mood
8:18
Speaker 2: and good mood, cheerful mood. But we do have some
8:21
Speaker 2: big headlines today that we need to cover. Bachelor Nation's
8:25
Speaker 2: Carl Waddell. She gets candid about dating after ending engagement.
8:31
Speaker 4: So she entered her engagement over the summer and now
8:35
Speaker 4: she is like trying to get back in the dating pool.
8:38
Speaker 4: She had this funny moment where she makes fun of
8:41
Speaker 4: herself in this Instagram reel about how she's attempting to
8:45
Speaker 4: get back out there. She said that there was this
8:48
Speaker 4: cute guy that she saw at a bar. She thought
8:50
Speaker 4: they were making eyes at each other. She was with
8:53
Speaker 4: her sister in law and her brother, and she thought that,
8:57
Speaker 4: you know, she would give her number to the guy,
9:00
Speaker 4: but not write down her name because she didn't want
9:02
Speaker 4: him to google her without getting to like meet her
9:05
Speaker 4: in prison. So they left the bar and then she
9:09
Speaker 4: goes back in with a piece of paper with her
9:11
Speaker 4: number on it. And then he's not at the table anymore,
9:14
Speaker 4: but his friends or family they're still there. He must
9:17
Speaker 4: have gone to the bathroom or something, and instead of saying, like, hey,
9:21
Speaker 4: I thought that guy that you were with was cute,
9:23
Speaker 4: she literally like stood in front of the table and
9:25
Speaker 4: then ran outside, ran back outside and just totally chickened out.
9:31
Speaker 4: So she's making fun of herself, feeling like she's like
9:33
Speaker 4: back in elementary school again. At the end of it all,
9:38
Speaker 4: her sister in law actually went back in gave the
9:40
Speaker 4: guy her number and he never called.
9:45
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, he probably didn't know who it was.
9:48
Speaker 2: No, he's like, I have a random number from this
9:50
Speaker 2: human that I didn't see meet or whatever. Here's what
9:55
Speaker 2: I'm taking from this. Celebrities they're just like us. You know,
10:01
Speaker 2: they get nervous, they run from tables. They're not as
10:05
Speaker 2: smooth as maybe we like to imagine them to be. Carly.
10:11
Speaker 2: You're not alone in this funny, awkward behavior. Goodness, it's awkward,
10:16
Speaker 2: but you're not alone, and it's wonderful that you got
10:18
Speaker 2: a little nervous.
10:20
Speaker 3: It's really you know, it's kind of fun.
10:22
Speaker 4: It's more fun hearing your friends do it than it
10:25
Speaker 4: is you having to go and take the leap of faith.
10:29
Speaker 2: But I think in the day and age of Instagram
10:32
Speaker 2: in social media, Ashley, I watch, I mean, this is
10:36
Speaker 2: One of the reasons why I've backed off so much
10:39
Speaker 2: from social media is I watch it, I'm like, goodness,
10:41
Speaker 2: everybody is more fit than me. Everybody's smoother than me,
10:45
Speaker 2: they dress better than me. It seems like they're driving
10:48
Speaker 2: fancier cars because they're obviously making so much more money
10:50
Speaker 2: than me. That's my mind.
10:52
Speaker 4: That's not as like, it's not like as appealing as
10:55
Speaker 4: you think. I think that like your humbleness, your groundedness,
10:59
Speaker 4: just the that you're like a guy's guy is way
11:02
Speaker 4: more attractive than trying to be smooth.
11:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it makes me envious. And so when we
11:07
Speaker 2: hear these kind of stories where we're like, oh, yeah,
11:09
Speaker 2: Carly stood at a table awkwardly while the parents probably
11:12
Speaker 2: looked up at her and was like hello, and she's like,
11:14
Speaker 2: that makes me smile because.
11:16
Speaker 4: If you see somebody as approachable and beautiful as Carly,
11:20
Speaker 4: I would have been like, Hi, what's up?
11:22
Speaker 3: Like, what are you thinking?
11:23
Speaker 2: You're trying to talk to my husband?
11:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, he wasn't responsive.
11:31
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. We didn't even think of that. It's like, oh, yeah,
11:34
Speaker 3: maybe he's dating somebody.
11:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they were sitting there too. It's funny speaking
11:38
Speaker 2: of dating we have a really great couple coming out
11:41
Speaker 2: of Bachelor in Paradise this year that we are catching
11:43
Speaker 2: up with Bachelor in Paradise's couple Alex and Andrew. They
11:47
Speaker 2: detailed their biggest fight in Ashley. It's over what I
11:51
Speaker 2: think is still the most common thing couples fight about today, finances.
11:56
Speaker 4: So funny, this is one thing that Jared and I
11:58
Speaker 4: can't relate to at all. We have always been so
12:02
Speaker 4: good discussing finances.
12:04
Speaker 3: What about you?
12:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's we don't ever well justin I
12:09
Speaker 2: have a very like we set. I'd say this is
12:14
Speaker 2: actually a good note that was given to us, and
12:16
Speaker 2: I think it's a very like Christian Church note. Early
12:21
Speaker 2: on our relationship we went through like couples counts or
12:23
Speaker 2: premarital counseling, and I think, you know, the idea of
12:27
Speaker 2: boundaries and clear communication is helpful in any relationship. But
12:31
Speaker 2: that was one of the words given to us is hey,
12:33
Speaker 2: sit down and discuss like these four major things and
12:36
Speaker 2: figure out how you're going to do it before you
12:38
Speaker 2: intern into marriage. And then if you have to adjust
12:40
Speaker 2: along the way, great, but talk about it when you do.
12:43
Speaker 2: And so before we ever got married, we were like Okay,
12:45
Speaker 2: here's how we're going to do this. We're gonna have
12:46
Speaker 2: one shared bank account that we both put money into
12:50
Speaker 2: every month. We're also going to have our own separate
12:53
Speaker 2: bank accounts that you operate on and I operate on
12:57
Speaker 2: because she runs her own business, I run my own business.
13:01
Speaker 2: Crossing those two things together will get so confusing and
13:04
Speaker 2: like misconstrued. And so our shared account is will we
13:08
Speaker 2: pay all of our stuff out through, like all of
13:11
Speaker 2: our life expenses, dinners, all that stuff, and then our
13:15
Speaker 2: individual accounts, Like if Jessica wants to go to the
13:17
Speaker 2: store and go on a shopping spree, she doesn't have
13:19
Speaker 2: to check with me because she is responsible for her
13:22
Speaker 2: own account. And it actually works out great for us personally.
13:28
Speaker 2: We run that through by having separate credit cards and
13:31
Speaker 2: then a shared credit card, and so things that are
13:35
Speaker 2: shared are paid for collectively. Things that aren't. And she
13:38
Speaker 2: needs to go buy more stuff for her skin studio,
13:41
Speaker 2: go do it. It's fine, It's it's your business. But
13:45
Speaker 2: we talk about a lot. We check in once a month,
13:47
Speaker 2: and but I am in charge of our collective finances
13:53
Speaker 2: mostly because yeah, yeah, investments, bill, you know, bills, all that,
13:58
Speaker 2: because mostly I I'm well, one, I'm at my computer
14:01
Speaker 2: more often, she's you know, obviously working on people. And
14:06
Speaker 2: then two I just enjoy it, I think, And so
14:08
Speaker 2: it was kind of a hey, yeah, you do that,
14:11
Speaker 2: and then we kind of go over it every month
14:14
Speaker 2: together on where our investments are and all that.
14:19
Speaker 4: Oh that's good, we just have I don't get into it,
14:22
Speaker 4: but it's like, thank God for a good accountant and
14:25
Speaker 4: some good financial advisors because I'm like, I think I
14:30
Speaker 4: understand the summary of what you guys are talking about,
14:33
Speaker 4: but just like think goodness that.
14:34
Speaker 3: You're really educated on it, because I don't want to.
14:38
Speaker 3: Jared's a little bit more interested in it.
14:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it works, But I think the point is,
14:43
Speaker 2: however you want to do, yes is clear communication. Okay,
14:47
Speaker 2: so they had a.
14:48
Speaker 4: Fight over this, Well, they didn't really have a fight
14:51
Speaker 4: over anything very specifically.
14:53
Speaker 3: They're just saying this is when they do bigger it.
14:56
Speaker 4: Often will have to do with this, which is actually
14:59
Speaker 4: like super interesting to me, being that they've only been
15:01
Speaker 4: together for about six months.
15:03
Speaker 2: I'd say it's a good sign.
15:04
Speaker 4: It is good sign. It means that they're taking it
15:06
Speaker 4: very seriously, like they are. If they're talking about each
15:09
Speaker 4: other's finances at six months, I feel like they're planning
15:12
Speaker 4: a real future together.
15:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's amazing. The worst thing I mean,
15:18
Speaker 2: but I feel like Alex during Paradise right didn't she
15:22
Speaker 2: wasn't in a big was it her that had the
15:24
Speaker 2: big student debt that was going to get paid off?
15:27
Speaker 4: So they use all the money that they won, yeah,
15:29
Speaker 4: for her student loans, which she has nothing anymore. And
15:31
Speaker 4: she's really, you know, obviously feels very freed by that.
15:35
Speaker 4: But and she says that because that's paid off, they're
15:38
Speaker 4: able to invest. And she said that she never even
15:42
Speaker 4: imagined herself being able to do that because she thought
15:44
Speaker 4: she was going to be burdened by the student loans
15:46
Speaker 4: for so long.
15:47
Speaker 1: Mm hm.
15:48
Speaker 4: So now that is something that they kind of talk about.
15:51
Speaker 4: So he's kind of like, I'm just doing well, I
15:53
Speaker 4: know what I'm doing, like, and then she is kind
15:56
Speaker 4: of like, I want to be retired by this point.
15:58
Speaker 4: And then he's like, that's not really gonna happen anymore.
16:02
Speaker 4: This is like not happening right now. People aren't retiring
16:04
Speaker 4: at like your dream age. And then she said, like
16:09
Speaker 4: none of them hold really grudges over it. At the end,
16:12
Speaker 4: of the argument, they'll be like laughing and saying I
16:15
Speaker 4: love you. But right now she's very focused on saving
16:20
Speaker 4: for her future, sitting for their future, and they're not
16:25
Speaker 4: really they're not really.
16:28
Speaker 3: Afraid to talk about this stuff.
16:32
Speaker 4: She said that she was always imagining that somebody was
16:35
Speaker 4: going to be the one to take over finances, to
16:39
Speaker 4: be like a little bit more serious.
16:40
Speaker 3: About it, to be more of the you and the relationship.
16:43
Speaker 4: And she says that they are both very much on
16:48
Speaker 4: the same page, like neither of them are super versed
16:51
Speaker 4: in it.
16:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that's where you said, then
16:54
Speaker 2: you need to quickly find people that are talented at it.
16:57
Speaker 2: And it's going to be a big life expense, expensive
17:00
Speaker 2: to have an accountant. It's expensive of these things.
17:04
Speaker 3: Our accountant is worth everybody.
17:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be worth it in the end, because one,
17:07
Speaker 2: you're not getting a bill in four years. That's like, hey,
17:11
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, you owe this many back taxes
17:15
Speaker 2: with fines. It's you know, I think it's a fascinating topic.
17:20
Speaker 2: And obviously there's people a lot more well versed than
17:23
Speaker 2: I am on it. But I do love that they're
17:25
Speaker 2: having these conversations and that they're trying to navigate it
17:29
Speaker 2: and that they're talking about retirement.
17:32
Speaker 4: I know, like they're so promising, Like this is amazing,
17:35
Speaker 4: They're gonna get married.
17:37
Speaker 2: Let's go. Speaking of Bachelor in Paradise married couples, A
17:41
Speaker 2: Bachelor in Paradise alum Mari Peppin reveals every single cosmetic
17:46
Speaker 2: procedure she's had.
17:50
Speaker 3: I love this.
17:51
Speaker 4: I went through and did an Instagram reel with my
17:54
Speaker 4: sister nine months ago about this.
17:57
Speaker 3: Lauren is hilarious. Like Lauren has everything time.
18:02
Speaker 4: The only thing that she's actually like gone to sleep
18:04
Speaker 4: for is her nose job, but lots of stuff at
18:07
Speaker 4: the medspot. And Mari is admitting to basically similar things
18:12
Speaker 4: so that she wanted to get a brass augmentation when
18:14
Speaker 4: she was twenty one.
18:16
Speaker 3: It was too.
18:16
Speaker 4: Expensive so she didn't do that, but she did end
18:19
Speaker 4: up getting them at twenty seven. She also has had
18:25
Speaker 4: filler in her lips and in her underreyes, but now
18:29
Speaker 4: she's just doing them and her lips. She's doing p
18:34
Speaker 4: RF in her underreyes now, which is it's kind of
18:37
Speaker 4: like a collegen booster can also help with dark circles
18:40
Speaker 4: and brightening. I am going through this and Ben Stobba
18:44
Speaker 4: was like, what are you doing? I love the transparency stuff.
18:48
Speaker 4: It's such a thing on Instagram to be transparent about
18:50
Speaker 4: what you've gotten done. Thanks to Kylie Jenner. She really
18:53
Speaker 4: we love Kylie for that anything else that she's done.
18:57
Speaker 4: She's done botox and the massaters. Those are your jaw
19:03
Speaker 4: muscles and you could put them there for aesthetics and
19:07
Speaker 4: TMJ relief.
19:09
Speaker 3: I need to do it creates it you. No, you don't.
19:12
Speaker 3: You're a guy.
19:13
Speaker 4: You want your jaw muscles to be big and wide,
19:17
Speaker 4: just like Jared.
19:18
Speaker 3: You do have TMJ.
19:19
Speaker 2: Yeah. I need to figure that out because it's starting
19:21
Speaker 2: to hurt.
19:22
Speaker 3: Really.
19:23
Speaker 2: Jess does a buckle massage at her studio. It really helps. Yeah,
19:27
Speaker 2: and I do. I wear a night guard every night.
19:29
Speaker 3: Oh you do wear a night gard.
19:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, but she has this buckle massage. It's like an
19:33
Speaker 2: inner mouth massage. It always helps.
19:35
Speaker 3: You can get a little bit, Ben a little bit.
19:38
Speaker 4: But like, as a guy, and like I'm you know,
19:40
Speaker 4: speaking as like I am an aesthetics nurse practitioner or whatever,
19:44
Speaker 4: but I am not. I would not do that as
19:47
Speaker 4: a guy because you want your job to be wide
19:50
Speaker 4: and strong.
19:51
Speaker 3: I do it.
19:52
Speaker 4: I love my massador botox so much. It really creates
19:57
Speaker 4: a totally different face for me. I look like so
20:00
Speaker 4: much more feminine and like narrow because that's what it does.
20:03
Speaker 4: It'll narrow your draw because without it, of course I
20:07
Speaker 4: like my face without it too, but it's a lot boxier.
20:10
Speaker 4: It goes from like square to a little bit more hearty. Okay,
20:15
Speaker 4: what about what about you?
20:17
Speaker 5: Ben?
20:19
Speaker 3: I mean, I know, like we got done.
20:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have some bachelor people, some men that definitely
20:25
Speaker 2: have done their stuff. It's not at all on my radar.
20:30
Speaker 2: It's just not something one if there was a health
20:34
Speaker 2: benefit to it, if like I could get rid of
20:36
Speaker 2: the grinding of my teeth or whatever that is, I'd
20:39
Speaker 2: be like, oh, I'm interested. It's not that I look
20:44
Speaker 2: at these dudes. I'm like, what in the world it
20:45
Speaker 2: won My buddies would never let me live it down.
20:48
Speaker 4: I don't even know who you're talking about, Like you
20:50
Speaker 4: think that somebody has a little brotox like I don't.
20:52
Speaker 2: I don't.
20:53
Speaker 4: It depends on the lines. I don't as long as
20:56
Speaker 4: you're not freezing yourself.
20:57
Speaker 3: Who we're talking.
21:00
Speaker 4: No name, no names, Like are we talking from like
21:03
Speaker 4: decade ago or.
21:06
Speaker 2: I think it's been a I think it's been an
21:08
Speaker 2: ongoing theme for a decade.
21:10
Speaker 3: No way, yeah, we can just that's so funny.
21:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm again like, it's not here's my judgmental response
21:18
Speaker 2: when I see it. It's nothing more than how are
21:21
Speaker 2: your buddies letting you do this? It's not that I
21:22
Speaker 2: like am like, oh no, I think you look good.
21:24
Speaker 2: I do, But who are your friends? Because there is
21:28
Speaker 2: zero chance I could do it and walk into a
21:32
Speaker 2: football game with them and them not say something or
21:35
Speaker 2: make me feel so silly.
21:37
Speaker 4: Like you think that they're like that frozen and it's
21:40
Speaker 4: just not well done for a guy. Really, I'm not
21:43
Speaker 4: a fan. I don't need like I would never want
21:46
Speaker 4: Jerry to get botox either. That would be like so weird.
21:49
Speaker 4: But I'm just thinking like there's somebody or there are
21:51
Speaker 4: people that have done it, so obviously that's super interesting.
21:54
Speaker 2: Hmm.
21:55
Speaker 3: Okay, what do you know a Jess gets done?
21:58
Speaker 2: She doesn't get any bowtie?
22:00
Speaker 3: Well, she does, she did any botox, she used to.
22:03
Speaker 2: And because she has an eyebrow that was like lower
22:05
Speaker 2: than the other or something, is that a thing?
22:08
Speaker 4: Wait, she has one by nature that's lower than the other.
22:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, so she get it, but she doesn't one. She's
22:15
Speaker 2: breastfeeding still, so she doesn't do anything she does. I
22:18
Speaker 2: mean I don't. The only thing I know she does
22:22
Speaker 2: at least, and she would obviously tell me right now,
22:25
Speaker 2: is she blathers up with about eight different things every
22:29
Speaker 2: night before bed, and then she tapes her face. This
22:32
Speaker 2: has been a new Yeah.
22:33
Speaker 4: And she told me she gave me the face tape,
22:35
Speaker 4: which I loved the face tape for a minute, thinking
22:39
Speaker 4: that it was helping with this sleep wrinkle that I
22:41
Speaker 4: get overnight, because like if you put your face on
22:44
Speaker 4: your pillow like this, then like you get this a
22:47
Speaker 4: wrinkle by your nose because your cheek is like slamming
22:50
Speaker 4: into your nose. Yeah, But then the tape didn't really work.
22:53
Speaker 4: What actually really works is this amazing pillow that also
22:58
Speaker 4: helps with like a neck and backpin of it.
23:00
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, I mean every night before bed she has
23:03
Speaker 2: like four pieces of tape. And that's just the marriage.
23:07
Speaker 2: It's a marriage. It's beautiful, it's wonderful.
23:10
Speaker 3: Should I go through what I have?
23:12
Speaker 2: I think, are you want to move on?
23:14
Speaker 3: Do you think so?
23:15
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what this all means.
23:17
Speaker 2: I think you did tell us what you've had, I
23:19
Speaker 2: would like.
23:19
Speaker 4: Okay, So obviously I do botox in my forehead, only
23:22
Speaker 4: need to do it like twice a year. I don't
23:25
Speaker 4: know before has really trained to not move so much,
23:29
Speaker 4: I guess because before botox, Holy crap, I have the
23:32
Speaker 4: massive our talks.
23:35
Speaker 3: And then I have my lips filled.
23:38
Speaker 4: Do it like once every other year, like maybe like
23:41
Speaker 4: once every year and a half. I also so then
23:45
Speaker 4: the last time the last time I had then done
23:47
Speaker 4: was was it was it two years ago? No, it
23:51
Speaker 4: has to be a year ago. And then I have
23:53
Speaker 4: my underreyes filled a little bit, just for like a
23:57
Speaker 4: little di of it. I don't really ever have like
24:00
Speaker 4: bad dark circles, but I haven't done that for two years.
24:05
Speaker 4: And then I do have filler in my temples, which
24:08
Speaker 4: I need to actually get evened out. They're a little
24:11
Speaker 4: awkward right now, they're a little off. And then I
24:17
Speaker 4: have the tiniest bit of filler right now and like
24:20
Speaker 4: my like on my.
24:21
Speaker 3: Cheekbone, like just a couple of little drops. And I
24:26
Speaker 3: kind of go back and forth.
24:27
Speaker 4: On what I do again and what I don't do again,
24:29
Speaker 4: But I'm pretty happy with what I got right now.
24:31
Speaker 2: Is there anything in the future you're planning on.
24:33
Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't go beyond that. Okay, I also wouldn't
24:37
Speaker 3: want like the cheek filler.
24:38
Speaker 4: I am really really not a fan typically of cheek
24:41
Speaker 4: filler my, but I trust anything that my s dision,
24:46
Speaker 4: my girly she's not an s dision, she's a nurse,
24:49
Speaker 4: will suggest to me. And I was like, you know, honestly,
24:51
Speaker 4: you could just do whatever you want, Just just say, oh,
24:57
Speaker 4: chin filler, that's my big filling if I had But
25:00
Speaker 4: so let's just go to the top of the conversation
25:02
Speaker 4: really quickly. Then if I really could only do two things,
25:07
Speaker 4: it would always be the forehead talks and the chin filler,
25:12
Speaker 4: and then number three would probably be the jaw talks.
25:17
Speaker 3: And that's it.
25:18
Speaker 4: That's my go to lip filler craps. Now we're adding on,
25:23
Speaker 4: but that is important every few years.
25:25
Speaker 3: But I really don't.
25:26
Speaker 4: It's over time the lips keep the collagen in them
25:30
Speaker 4: from the filler. It's like a permanent scar kind of
25:34
Speaker 4: in the best way. So even if I were to
25:37
Speaker 4: stop doing it all together, my lips would naturally be
25:39
Speaker 4: bigger than they were before I ever started.
25:42
Speaker 3: And those are my four things. Okay, moving on, He's like,
25:45
Speaker 3: can we get off of this cut?
25:48
Speaker 2: No? I mean I'm listening. I don't know if I've
25:51
Speaker 2: understood anything you just said, but I'm listening.
25:53
Speaker 3: Your wife is in aesthetics.
25:55
Speaker 2: She's an aesthetics, yes, but it's not I don't think
26:00
Speaker 2: it's like that kind of thing. I don't know.
26:03
Speaker 3: Well, she's gonna talks girl.
26:04
Speaker 2: There, she's gonna she does the whole Jess runs a
26:08
Speaker 2: whole system. She's great. Her little business is great.
26:11
Speaker 4: She probably, I don't think, just looks no different than
26:14
Speaker 4: once she started. But that's the whole thing.
26:16
Speaker 2: Shout out to Higgy Skin.
26:17
Speaker 3: Yes, Higgy skin.
26:19
Speaker 2: Higgy Skin.
26:21
Speaker 3: When did she change it from a year and a
26:23
Speaker 3: half ago? Higgy Skin? Why did she switch?
26:27
Speaker 2: Because this is a little bit of a catch your
26:29
Speaker 2: name right, Higgins, Higgy higgy skins. Cute, it's cute and
26:34
Speaker 2: you can you can use it for branding purposes for
26:37
Speaker 2: future advancements in her business.
26:41
Speaker 3: Okay, great, I love this.
26:43
Speaker 2: She's a smart chick. She gets it. Chelsea Vaughn gets
26:56
Speaker 2: Canada about an ongoing health issue she's been having. I
27:00
Speaker 2: don't know if I knew this.
27:03
Speaker 4: I saw this Instagram pop up on my feet, and
27:05
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if I even follow her, but it
27:07
Speaker 4: was definitely something that was getting a lot of traction.
27:09
Speaker 3: On social media.
27:11
Speaker 4: So she is officially moving out of New York City
27:14
Speaker 4: for good. She kind of was debating this for a while.
27:17
Speaker 4: She moved out and lived in Mexico City for a while.
27:20
Speaker 4: She got in a new relationship, but now the relationship
27:23
Speaker 4: is no longer, so she's moving out.
27:24
Speaker 3: Of New York.
27:25
Speaker 4: But she just said that there's like something going on
27:28
Speaker 4: and she can't really figure out what it is. She said,
27:30
Speaker 4: she's got blood drawn. She's doing a full blood panel
27:34
Speaker 4: to see what's going on. She's been wearing a scarf
27:40
Speaker 4: lately because all of her hair keeps falling out at
27:43
Speaker 4: a very alarming rate. She did see a dermatologist in
27:46
Speaker 4: New York and she's getting some answers, but she wants
27:49
Speaker 4: to make sure that there's nothing going on that's deeper.
27:53
Speaker 3: She's still waiting for the results.
27:55
Speaker 4: She may have had them, but she hasn't reported it
27:57
Speaker 4: on them yet. But yeah, her hair is like falling
28:00
Speaker 4: out in different but like she's seeing like holes in
28:05
Speaker 4: her you know, in her hairline or in her hair,
28:08
Speaker 4: her head, and that's awful. She just said that she's
28:12
Speaker 4: getting really self conscious and she's to the point where
28:15
Speaker 4: she's she's just like embarrassed to go out without her scarf.
28:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough, I mean, and we've talked about it
28:24
Speaker 2: here when it comes to things like lime disease and
28:26
Speaker 2: parasites and all those things. You know, it's weird in
28:30
Speaker 2: today's medical world, how many mysteries there still are when
28:35
Speaker 2: somebody's like, I don't feel good and my hair is
28:37
Speaker 2: falling out, something's wrong, and how hard it is to
28:41
Speaker 2: identify what it is it's going wrong. So I hope
28:45
Speaker 2: for her sake she can figure that out. But it's
28:48
Speaker 2: scary and it's frustrating, and you probably don't feel good.
28:53
Speaker 2: But that's the update. We'll try to fall back up
28:55
Speaker 2: on that.
28:56
Speaker 4: Do you remember that girl that we had on who
28:58
Speaker 4: went overseas to get like a month long treatment for
29:02
Speaker 4: lime disease and has been ever since I was Daisy.
29:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Daisy went on and did a thing in
29:10
Speaker 2: Germany that's becoming more and more popular for people with
29:13
Speaker 2: lime disease. It's like it heats up the shells, the
29:16
Speaker 2: lime shells breaks them up, and then you put in antibiotics
29:18
Speaker 2: and it kills them.
29:19
Speaker 4: Yeah, her body temperature went down to like seventy or so.
29:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's a really wild treatment, but it's working.
29:27
Speaker 2: It's expensive, obviously it takes travel to go to it,
29:32
Speaker 2: but it's also you need to know that that's what
29:35
Speaker 2: you have going on before you can really go. And
29:39
Speaker 2: lime disease is kind of hard to be you know,
29:41
Speaker 2: it's not identified yet. There's so much there. Actually, it's
29:45
Speaker 2: frustrating when it comes to lime disease. Hannah Ann shares

32:23
Speaker 3: but maybe she will.
32:24
