  We have not seen each other in like two weeks, which it, when we've been seeing each other so frequently, it's been like, what in the world?

  So.
• 0:22
  Catch me up on all the things.
• 0:23
  Oh my goodness.
• 0:24
  Um, I don't even remember last week.
• 0:27
  I know it was super busy.
• 0:28
  I know you were really busy too, so I don't even really remember what went down.
• 0:32
  This week Jackson has had a lot of stuff at, uh, summer sports.
• 0:37
  He's the one football and basketball this summer.
• 0:39
  I think basketball ends next week.
• 0:41
  He goes to a camp for a few days and then he'll be done with basketball for the summer.
• 0:45
  Um, I had to take him today to get his sports physical.
• 0:48
  So I had taken him to get his regular physical, like in December, and I'm usually really good about like taking the paperwork and getting'em to do it.
• 0:55
  So it's all done.
• 0:56
  Didn't do that this year.
• 0:57
  Well, I thought I had until July.
• 0:59
  Mm-hmm.
• 0:59
  Well this week they sent a paper home, like, we need this by Monday.
• 1:02
  And I was like, crap.
• 1:03
  So with every other high school student Yeah.
• 1:06
  So I ended up getting an appointment for him at the C v s in Gastonia and take him to the MinuteClinic there and it was out of pocket.
• 1:13
  You know, you gotta.
• 1:14
  Pay for your stupidity, I guess, but, well, there's a place in York and it's only like 30 bucks.
• 1:18
  I've heard about different places.
• 1:20
  Yeah.
• 1:20
  But I didn't, with it being such a tight deadline, they needed the paperwork today.
• 1:24
  Yeah.
• 1:24
  Actually for Monday.
• 1:25
  So I was like, I'm just gonna take whatever I can get.
• 1:27
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:27
  And um, I was a nurse practitioner, she was really nice.
• 1:30
  She, you know, was thorough.
• 1:31
  She did what she needed to do and, um, she was like, well, what are you guys doing this week?
• 1:35
  Anna Jackson?
• 1:35
  I was like, well, I'm going to a.
• 1:37
  He was having a scrimmage, he had a scrimmage in camp today.
• 1:39
  And um, I was like, well, I'm going to record our podcast.
• 1:42
  I'm a cohost of, and she was like, oh, what podcast?
• 1:45
  And I told her and um, she was, well, she said, well, what do y'all talk about?
• 1:48
  And I said, well, really everything, but we do a lot of, um, book reviews and, you know, true crime stuff.
• 1:53
  And she was like, I love true crime.
• 1:54
  I said, do you like t c?
• 1:55
  She was like, my favorite.
• 1:57
  Are you going tonight?
• 1:57
  Cause they're in Charlotte tonight.
• 1:59
  Mm-hmm.
• 1:59
  And I was like, no, I'm not going.
• 2:01
  So anyway, yeah.
• 2:02
  Might have gained us another listener there.
• 2:04
  But, so yeah, no, I mean, just super busy.
• 2:07
  Crazy.
• 2:08
  Summer is exhausting for me.
• 2:10
  Yeah.
• 2:11
  I'm not used to it being like that, but running him everywhere, it's, it's, uh, Crazy busy.
• 2:17
  Yeah.
• 2:17
  And then work has just been really, really insane for some reason right now, it's just like everything is just, it all hits at once.
• 2:25
  It feels like it does.
• 2:26
  It'll be like nothing forever and then all of a sudden it's like, right.
• 2:29
  Or I'm, I'm kind of waiting on everybody to get their part done so then I can get my part done and then everybody's done with their pieces at once and then they're waiting on me.
• 2:35
  Yeah.
• 2:35
  Or something like that.
• 2:36
  Yeah.
• 2:36
  So it's just been really busy.
• 2:38
  how about you?
• 2:39
  I know you've been the same.
• 2:40
  Yeah.
• 2:40
  But anything fun or, uh, well, work has been bananas and I sent you the revision of our ESPN commercial.
• 2:47
  Has I got cut outta, which is totally okay.
• 2:52
  Yeah, it did make me laugh.
• 2:54
  Yeah.
• 2:55
  Um, but I came out, I think, you know, they did a couple more revisions, just like little things that we came to add, like a product in there or whatever.
• 3:01
  Um, but it came out awesome.
• 3:03
  And, uh, that will air, um, I think like the weekend of July 1st, like it should that weekend.
• 3:10
  So super exciting.
• 3:11
  we were, you know, kind of like trying to throw all that together, get all the final Right stuff.
• 3:15
  Make sure that everything Brandon wanted in it Yeah.
• 3:17
  Was in it.
• 3:18
  Yeah.
• 3:18
  And then we get, I got a text message from Dylan's new coach for the new school.
• 3:23
  Mm-hmm.
• 3:23
  Mm-hmm.
• 3:23
  And he was like, Hey, this is last weekend.
• 3:25
  Are you guys gonna be around, can Dylan play in a tournament in Charlotte?
• 3:28
  Mm-hmm.
• 3:29
  And I was like, Okay.
• 3:31
  And I was literally just about to buy the tickets to, the pro lacrosse games that were in Charlotte and Dylan had got on Friday with one of his other friends.
• 3:38
  But yeah.
• 3:39
  He wanted to go to like the second game.
• 3:41
  Sure.
• 3:41
  So I'm like, yeah, okay.
• 3:41
  Like, let's make it happen.
• 3:43
  Yeah.
• 3:43
  And I was like waiting for him to tell me if Jonas was gonna come with us, how many tickets I needed to buy.
• 3:47
  Right.
• 3:48
  And they get the text from the coach and I'm like, well Dylan, tomorrow uh, you're in gonna be playing in a tournament.
• 3:55
  It's actually, it was a couple days before that.
• 3:57
  Right.
• 3:57
  And so I was like, well, you know, that's his weekend.
• 3:59
  So he went to the, you know, the practice that night mm-hmm.
• 4:02
  With Tucker.
• 4:02
  Mm-hmm.
• 4:03
  And Nice.
• 4:04
  So he played in the tournament over the weekend and was a lot of kids on the team, I guess, that are.
• 4:09
  Pretty new.
• 4:10
  Okay.
• 4:10
  And, um, so it was an interesting dynamic.
• 4:14
  Yeah.
• 4:15
  I'm sure.
• 4:16
  But it was good.
• 4:16
  I mean, he had, you know, he had fun.
• 4:18
  It was, you know, lacrosses life for him, so Yeah.
• 4:20
  Yeah.
• 4:20
  Live is what it is.
• 4:21
  But work has just been crazy.
• 4:23
  This is our really like a sort of busy, busy time.
• 4:25
  Yeah.
• 4:25
  Um, as far as sales go and, and, we had let a person go this week.
• 4:30
  Mm.
• 4:30
  That's tough though.
• 4:32
  So a lot of the things that we thought were done were not done.
• 4:35
  Oh.
• 4:35
  So it was a lot of picking up pieces.
• 4:37
  Yeah.
• 4:37
  Trying to, a lot of the files we can't open'em and like, oh man.
• 4:41
  Yeah.
• 4:41
  So it's just been a, it's been a really rough work week.
• 4:44
  I get that.
• 4:45
  Yeah.
• 4:46
  But other than that, everything's great, Eric.
• 4:47
  I.
• 4:49
  Dumpster fire, but we did get our fence fixed and the pool is open, so it looks great.
• 4:54
  We're gonna have a live recording from there, so I assume right on the float.
• 4:57
  Yeah, that sounds great.
• 4:59
  That sounds great.
• 4:59
  Yes.
• 5:00
  Um, my niece did graduate from high school this week.
• 5:02
  Congratulations.
• 5:03
  So, yes.
• 5:03
  So she had a, um, a, a party for her last weekend and then she graduated on Tuesday evening and that all of that was like the, Party was like an hour and 45 minutes away from me.
• 5:15
  And of course Jackson wanted to take some friends and I texted my sister.
• 5:18
  I was like, is it okay?
• 5:19
  She was like, yeah, absolutely.
• 5:20
  We got plenty of food and stuff.
• 5:21
  So I show up with a car full.
• 5:23
  Yes.
• 5:24
  Um, but they actually had a good time cause they had all the kids that were there, like even younger than them, they're like playing tag it was very nice, but there was space for them to be kids.
• 5:33
  Yeah.
• 5:33
  So that took a lot of time on Sunday.
• 5:36
  And Sunday was when we had that rain.
• 5:37
  Yeah.
• 5:37
  So we were driving in that.
• 5:38
  It was just, I hate that feeling.
• 5:40
  Yeah.
• 5:40
  Um, and then on Tuesday, same thing.
• 5:43
  We had to drive it, it was about an hour and 15 or so to get there.
• 5:46
  And Yeah.
• 5:47
  And there was.
• 5:48
  A lot of names, but it was good.
• 5:50
  I'm very proud of her.
• 5:51
  So she's the last of my sister's kids to, to graduate.
• 5:55
  Yeah.
• 5:55
  Well, I can't believe, what was it last year?
• 5:57
  How many kids graduated from Clover?
• 5:59
  Like, oh, it's insane.
• 6:00
  Yeah.
• 6:00
  So I went to, high school at a Catholic school.
• 6:04
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:04
  And there was, I don't even know if he hit 60 when I graduated in my class.
• 6:07
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:08
  So it was like short, sweet, like Yeah.
• 6:10
  In and out.
• 6:11
  Yeah.
• 6:12
  I, and like the public school I should have went to, had Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of kids.
• 6:16
  You know what I mean?
• 6:16
  Yeah.
• 6:16
  Like, it was like such a vast difference.
• 6:18
  Yeah.
• 6:18
  Um, so I was telling Dylan about it.
• 6:21
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:22
  And I'm like, well, when I graduated there was only I think like 58 people my mm-hmm.
• 6:26
  And you know, Brandon was like, God, we had like however many, like 600, 700, 800, whatever, like insane, um, at his school.
• 6:34
  And Dylan's like, oh my God.
• 6:35
  He's like, you have to sit there the whole time when they do everybody's name.
• 6:38
  I'm like, yep.
• 6:40
  Yep.
• 6:40
  You do, you do.
• 6:42
  His school will only be like, probably, you know Yeah.
• 6:45
  Closer to what I had, like Right, right.
• 6:47
  40, a smaller amount.
• 6:47
  60.
• 6:48
  Well, I think Jackson's class, at Clover Middle had like three 50.
• 6:53
  I'm, I'm somewhere in there.
• 6:54
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:55
  And then, you know, Oak Ridge will merge with them and have, yeah.
• 6:57
  So their class will have about 700 now and like can you imagine when, yeah.
• 7:02
  And I think their class, so their class of 20, 27, I think they're the last class.
• 7:07
  That'll come through all of them before the new school's open.
• 7:10
  Yeah.
• 7:10
  That's the plan.
• 7:11
  Yeah.
• 7:12
  Yeah.
• 7:12
  Oh gosh.
• 7:14
  I know it's a lot of kids.
• 7:15
  Yeah.
• 7:16
  Well, Dylan, has his driving class to get his actual like, license.
• 7:20
  License, yes.
• 7:21
  Um, July, like 20th or something like that.
• 7:25
  And so he is like dying to get his license.
• 7:28
  Mm-hmm.
• 7:29
  Which makes my heart hurt a little bit.
• 7:31
  Uhhuh Uhhuh.
• 7:33
  Yeah.
• 7:33
  But they, you know.
• 7:34
  I know, I know.
• 7:35
  So he's excited to drive to school next year.
• 7:38
  Yeah.
• 7:38
  Like he's got all the plans for all the music.
• 7:40
  He's got like a playlist, huh?
• 7:41
  And I was like, that's turning into a new thing now.
• 7:43
  Every time we get in the car, like Jackson used to always just have his, I call him earbuds EarPods.
• 7:49
  I always get the name mixed up, but he's usually always got him in.
• 7:52
  Well his new thing now is, can I have the ox?
• 7:54
  Like he wants to play?
• 7:55
  And I'm like, Well, I mean, yeah, but can you not?
• 7:59
  Yeah.
• 7:59
  Now does he like the same music you do?
• 8:01
  No.
• 8:02
  Okay.
• 8:02
  I mean, I don't not like his music, but I'm stuck in the nineties.
• 8:06
  Yeah.
• 8:06
  I'm very stuck in the nineties.
• 8:07
  Yeah.
• 8:08
  And he likes current rap r and b stuff.
• 8:12
  All right.
• 8:13
  Well, Dylan, he likes everything all.
• 8:15
  I mean, like he could listen to literally, yeah.
• 8:18
  Yes.
• 8:18
  Heavy metal to like, he, yes, I mean like everything.
• 8:21
  He listens to rap, hip hop, I mean, everything, everything.
• 8:23
  but he does favor, the music we grew up on Uhhuh.
• 8:26
  Um, so like the nineties hip hop, the early two s No, James's fine with that too.
• 8:30
  Yeah.
• 8:30
  Like he likes when I have it on the nineties channel, he's fine with that.
• 8:33
  But the oldies, no.
• 8:36
  No.
• 8:36
  Oh my gosh.
• 8:36
  That's crazy.
• 8:38
  That hurts my feelings.
• 8:39
  Now Brian is a totally separate, totally different type of music than me.
• 8:43
  He likes rock, like Old Rock, okay.
• 8:45
  Like, I mean like eighties, nineties rock.
• 8:48
  Yeah.
• 8:48
  He likes 99.7, you know, all that.
• 8:51
  And we used to play this game with Jackson when a song would come on.
• 8:54
  We'd be like, is this mommy's music or daddy's music?
• 8:56
  And it depended on the style.
• 8:58
  He'd be like, country or, or rock Aby Brian's.
• 9:01
  And then if it's more of a.
• 9:03
  Hiphop kind of thing.
• 9:04
  It's me.
• 9:04
  Yeah.
• 9:05
  I am obsessed with these mashups that they're doing now on.
• 9:08
  Oh no.
• 9:08
  Like the hiphop and country mashups.
• 9:10
  Yes.
• 9:11
  Obsessed.
• 9:11
  And I want like a whole out like CD or like a whole like whatever.
• 9:15
  Yes.
• 9:15
  Available on Spotify.
• 9:16
  I know, but none of it is like, no.
• 9:19
  Cause I can't really, but I'm, anyway, like, I feel like in the Super Bowl, do you remember when it was Aerosmith, Uhhuh and Brittany Smith?
• 9:24
  Yeah.
• 9:24
  Like.
• 9:25
  It was amazing.
• 9:26
  I always loved seeing the different artists and different genres together.
• 9:31
  Yeah.
• 9:31
  So I'm with you.
• 9:32
  Give me all the mashup.
• 9:33
  I know, but it's really cool.
• 9:35
  Yeah, it's really cool.
• 9:36
  I like that too.
• 9:37
  So, speaking of Facebook, I was on there this morning and I was like, this is so weird.
• 9:40
  Did you know that there is a, a pod, I guess they're called of orcas, in Spain, like, okay, opposed to Spain and they're attacking boats.
• 9:50
  No.
• 9:51
  Yeah, it's like a pod of like nine.
• 9:53
  I didn't know they were aggressive.
• 9:55
  They're not like, they're normally not, but over the last couple years and they don't know, like, so maybe they have an STD as general would say.
• 10:03
  They think that one theory from the scientist is one of the orcas got hit by a boat like two years ago and it was payback and she's teaching the other orcas.
• 10:14
  Hmm.
• 10:14
  To attack the rudders of the sailboats.
• 10:17
  Oh my gosh.
• 10:18
  That's terrifying.
• 10:18
  Um, I know.
• 10:19
  And there's all these, boats have gotten like destroyed by these orcas.
• 10:22
  Nope.
• 10:23
  Nobody's gotten hurt or killed.
• 10:24
  Yeah, but that's, but that's good.
• 10:25
  So, then another guy got attacked, like the boat got attacked by the same pod of orcas twice.
• 10:32
  He said there was two smaller ones that were hitting the one side and then the big one was coming at it from the other side.
• 10:38
  They they got like a plant.
• 10:39
  Yeah.
• 10:39
  Like, it's like that's.
• 10:41
  That's strategic.
• 10:42
  The little gang gang in the water.
• 10:43
  Yeah.
• 10:46
  Oh my gosh.
• 10:46
  Right.
• 10:46
  It's crazy.
• 10:47
  And like they're so smart.
• 10:48
  Like it's banana us.
• 10:50
  Yeah.
• 10:50
  I had no, so that's a little terrifying.
• 10:53
  Anybody go to Spain?
• 10:54
  Be on the lookout.
• 10:55
  I will not go in the water.
• 10:58
  Yeah, but don't you want to get in the water if you go to Spain?
• 11:00
  I'm sure I would, but like, maybe not in the boats.
• 11:03
  No.
• 11:03
  Like I'll just go like swim and hopefully they don't eat me.
• 11:06
  Yeah, no, you'd be fine.
• 11:07
  You'd be totally fine.
• 11:08
  Totally fine.
• 11:09
  I didn't see that, uh, story though.
• 11:10
  That's crazy.
• 11:11
  Yeah, so I saw it like a couple of different people.
• 11:13
  I talked about it and I don't know why I, they come up in my newsfeed cuz it's not anybody I actually even follow.
• 11:18
  Yeah.
• 11:18
  It was just like random stuff.
• 11:19
  Yeah.
• 11:20
  Um.
• 11:20
  But yeah, I was like, that is so bananas that, that they're teaching each other that, yeah.
• 11:27
  Yeah.
• 11:27
  So I don't know.
• 11:28
  It bugged me out.
• 11:28
  I was like, I got, um, speaking of animals and videos and stuff, you know, that's pretty much all my social media feed is.
• 11:35
  Yeah.
• 11:35
  And I watched like 14 times the other day, this polar bear like backing up to driving the water.
• 11:41
  And that's like somebody had narrated it.
• 11:43
  He's like, here I go here.
• 11:44
  It was so adorable.
• 11:46
  I have to link it, if I can link it to our page.
• 11:48
  I just saw a one that, that was like that with penguins.
• 11:51
  Oh my gosh.
• 11:51
  We're so mature.
• 11:54
  I'd rather that in like the stuff that comes up in Brandon's needs to Totally serious.
• 11:58
  Totally, totally.
• 12:00
  That's totally like our personalities.
• 12:01
  Like Yeah, same and goofy animals, same and serious politics, all that kind of stuff.
• 12:07
  Yeah.
• 12:08
  So, did you get a chance to read our book?
• 12:10
  Oh my gosh.
• 12:10
  So I actually had read it once before, like Okay.
• 12:15
  When it first came out, I think.
• 12:16
  Yeah.
• 12:16
  And then, so I listened to it this time and I loved, I mean, I thought it was such a good book, like yeah.
• 12:21
  let me read the blurb.
• 12:22
  Okay.
• 12:22
  And it is called Behind Closed Doors by B.A.
• 12:25
  Paris.
• 12:25
  Yes.
• 12:26
  Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace.

  He has looks and wealth.
• 12:30
  She has charm and elegance.
• 12:32
  He's a dedicated attorney who never lost a case.
• 12:34
  She is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener, and cook and dots on her disabled younger sister, though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all.
• 12:43
  You might not want to like them, but you do.
• 12:45
  You're hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home by the graciousness of.
• 12:49
  The dinner parties they throw, you'd like to get to know Grace better, but it's difficult because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable.
• 12:56
  Some might call it true love.
• 12:57
  Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone or why she never meets for coffee even though she doesn't work.
• 13:04
  How she can cook such elaborate meals but remains so slim or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen or.
• 13:12
  Why there are such high security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows.
• 13:17
  Some might wonder what's really going on once the dinner party is over and the front door has closed.
• 13:23
  Oh da duh.
• 13:23
  And trigger warning.
• 13:24
  Yes.
• 13:25
  Actually I wrote that too.
• 13:26
  Did you?
• 13:26
  Okay.
• 13:26
  Go ahead and, and give that soon.
• 13:28
  All right, so starting with the trigger warnings, there is domestic violence and animal abuse.
• 13:33
  Yes.
• 13:33
  So, if any of those things trigger you, this might not be the B book for you.
• 13:37
  Right.
• 13:37
  Um, and while I obviously hate that mm-hmm.
• 13:42
  Um, I thought this book was wonderfully written.
• 13:44
  And this was her first book.
• 13:46
  Right?
• 13:46
  She actually has another book coming out that I'm gonna put on our next list.
• 13:50
  Mm-hmm.
• 13:50
  Which is called The Breakdown.
• 13:51
  Yeah.
• 13:52
  Um, so I'm gonna put that on our next list, but I can't wait to get into this one.
• 13:55
  Yeah.
• 13:56
  And as always, I don't wanna give too many spoilers.
• 13:58
  Yes.
• 13:58
  But I agree.
• 13:59
  I really like this one.
• 14:00
  Listen to it as well.
• 14:01
  I think I was listening to it and then you grabbed it right after me.
• 14:03
  Uhhuh.
• 14:03
  I did.
• 14:03
  Cuz as soon as you said I better return it.
• 14:05
  Oh yeah.
• 14:06
  You, I thought like it was like an hour later.
• 14:07
  It was like, ding, ding.
• 14:09
  Um.
• 14:10
  So, yeah, I'm really loving The Hoopla app is amazing.
• 14:13
  I loved it.
• 14:14
  Yeah.
• 14:15
  I loved it.
• 14:15
  I thought it was interesting.
• 14:16
  You could see a lot of the pieces come together, but there was still a lot of loops.
• 14:22
  Yes.
• 14:22
  Like I did not expect for Mr.
• 14:24
  Angel ugh.
• 14:26
  To have some of the history that he did.
• 14:28
  Yeah.
• 14:28
  I thought he was just a demented current.
• 14:31
  Person, not everything that led up to Yeah.
• 14:33
  Him being a demented adult.
• 14:35
  Yeah.
• 14:35
  Um, what about you?
• 14:37
  How, okay, so I did, yeah, I did figure out some of the stuff along the way.
• 14:42
  Okay.
• 14:42
  But that did not take away from the story.
• 14:45
  Mm-hmm.
• 14:45
  And like, I want, I kept me still wanting to listen to it.
• 14:47
  Yeah.
• 14:47
  Um, I know we have talked about before when you figure out kind of like Oh, right.
• 14:51
  You kinda like skipped through it.
• 14:52
  Yeah.
• 14:52
  Um, but that was not the case for me for this book.
• 14:54
  Good.
• 14:55
  I liked the layout of like, going back and forth in time.
• 14:58
  Yes.
• 14:59
  From when they first met versus, you know what, yes, the present.
• 15:03
  And a lot of times, I think we've talked about this before, a lot of times when that happens, when they jump around, it's easy, especially in an audiobook to get lost in where they are.
• 15:11
  But same thing, it was easy to follow.
• 15:13
  It was an easy read.
• 15:14
  Yeah.
• 15:14
  It was a quick one.
• 15:15
  Yeah.
• 15:16
  Yeah, for sure.
• 15:17
  I really liked the, The relationship between Grace and Millie, this Oh, totally.
• 15:23
  Yeah.
• 15:23
  Uh, I loved that even though, she had down syndrome relief.
• 15:26
  Mm-hmm.
• 15:26
  Um, but like they highlighted her intelligence.
• 15:29
  Yes.
• 15:29
  And her, you know, like it wasn't like, you know.
• 15:32
  Yeah.
• 15:32
  She was very cunning almost.
• 15:34
  Yes.
• 15:34
  And, uh, I loved that they.
• 15:37
  Did it that way.
• 15:37
  Yes.
• 15:38
  Um, highlighting her intelligence.
• 15:40
  Right.
• 15:40
  She was a very big player in the book.
• 15:44
  Yeah.
• 15:44
  And, um, you don't expect, that her role to be what it was.
• 15:50
  Yes.
• 15:51
  Um, again, trying not to give spoilers, but, I appreciated that she did play key parts in this book.
• 15:57
  Yeah.
• 15:57
  Yeah.
• 15:57
  It was, it was.
• 15:59
  I've never heard George Clooney comments.
• 16:00
  Oh my gosh.
• 16:01
  She, I know.
• 16:02
  It made me laugh.
• 16:02
  It made me laugh.
• 16:04
  It made me laugh.
• 16:04
  You guys will have to read that and let us know what you think about the George Clooney comments.
• 16:07
  But, um, what else?
• 16:09
  I found myself like asking myself, well, what would I do if I Right.
• 16:15
  Yeah, totally.
• 16:15
  Would I have done more or would I have just like, you know, said, okay, well this is it.
• 16:20
  Yeah.
• 16:20
  I.
• 16:21
  Think that she made it very relatable.
• 16:23
  Mm-hmm.
• 16:23
  Because you can totally see where she's coming from.
• 16:26
  Like, I had read a lot of reviews, um, while I was like, after I had finished, I was just seeing what, you know, yeah.
• 16:31
  Reviews out.
• 16:31
  There were, and a lot of the people said that they didn't, didn't think that Grace did enough, like in the situation she was in it.
• 16:37
  But I think it was totally relatable.
• 16:39
  I think that the amount that she did do, mm-hmm.
• 16:41
  Um, I think.
• 16:42
  Yeah.
• 16:42
  Is what the average person would do.
• 16:44
  I think it was relatable.
• 16:45
  Yeah.
• 16:45
  Yeah.
• 16:46
  and I think it was really well done in that aspect of it.
• 16:48
  Yeah.
• 16:48
  I did get a little frustrated and maybe it was just me, you know, wanting action in the book.
• 16:53
  Yeah.
• 16:54
  But I was like, come on, let's, let's, let's do something.
• 16:57
  You can surely figure something else out.
• 16:58
  But, The part where somebody is saying a phone number, and I don't think this will give too much away, but, um, grace doesn't have a cell phone.
• 17:06
  And like they said, she doesn't leave the house with anything.
• 17:09
  And so somebody's trying to give a phone number and she's trying to commit it to memory and I.
• 17:14
  The other person's kind of seeing where she's, where she's at and is like, did you get that?
• 17:19
  Did I say that right?
• 17:20
  Yeah.
• 17:20
  And she's trying to help her out.
• 17:22
  So I mean she, I think she wanted change.
• 17:25
  Yeah.
• 17:25
  Um, she just didn't know how to get it.
• 17:27
  And I think Millie gave her some courage.
• 17:31
  I do too.
• 17:32
  Well, incentive for sure.
• 17:33
  Yes.
• 17:33
  And definitely incentive.
• 17:35
  But I think the fact that Millie was taking steps forward, let her know, okay, I can.
• 17:41
  Yeah, I can do this.
• 17:42
  Yep.
• 17:42
  So the other note that I had made while I was listening was that I thought it was interesting that they highlighted that most of the friends never questioned anything.
• 17:51
  I, no.
• 17:52
  And I sat back and I was like, well, if I was a friend, yeah.
• 17:55
  How would I react to that?
• 17:57
  And I don't know how I would, like, I don't know if I would just kind of glass over it, like all mo you know, 99% of the people in the book did.
• 18:05
  Right.
• 18:05
  Or would I.
• 18:06
  Catch on to that.
• 18:07
  I don't know, like in those social situations, you know?
• 18:11
  Mm-hmm.
• 18:11
  Like you're, you're drinking wine, you're whatever.
• 18:13
  And like, so I don't know if it would be like super in your face, cuz as you're reading it, you know what's going on.
• 18:18
  Yeah.
• 18:18
  And you know what clue's going for.
• 18:20
  I, right.
• 18:20
  I think, I mean unfortunately, and this is something I need to get better on, I don't think I would pick up on anything.
• 18:26
  Yeah.
• 18:27
  Because I'm just so.
• 18:29
  Like, I take things at face value.
• 18:31
  Mm-hmm.
• 18:31
  And if nobody's sitting there holding a sign saying, help me.
• 18:35
  Yeah.
• 18:35
  Then, um, then I'm not really gonna jump up.
• 18:38
  So that's something I need to be better at.
• 18:40
  Yeah.
• 18:40
  Is, you know, looking for signs and not, you know, just in, in just being aware.
• 18:44
  Yeah.
• 18:44
  And all kinds of things.
• 18:46
  Yeah.
• 18:46
  I don't know, like, I thought it was such a interesting, like, dynamic.
• 18:51
  Mm-hmm.
• 18:52
  Of all the, all the characters.
• 18:53
  Mm-hmm.
• 18:53
  I just, you know, I, again, I don't think I would ever question, I think that's a society we live in right now.
• 18:58
  Right.
• 18:58
  Is mind your business.
• 19:00
  Yeah.
• 19:00
  And you know what happens behind closed doors is not my business.
• 19:03
  It's, it's funny that you say that cuz it is kind of a mind your own business, but it's also a get in everybody's business.
• 19:10
  Yeah.
• 19:10
  You know, with social media, of course, anything you put out there can be, you know, I could be a, you know, five, two, a hundred ten pound supermodel, but, but I mean, it's, I got the five two part day.
• 19:22
  But, you know, it's, it's, it's an appearances and a lot of times that stuff is just so easy to hide.
• 19:27
  Yeah.
• 19:28
  So I thought it was, it was a, I again, I, I really liked it.
• 19:31
  I agreed and it was an easy read, but it kept you in it Yeah.
• 19:35
  The whole time and from the very beginning.
• 19:37
  Yes.
• 19:37
  It's not one that took me a minute to get into.
• 19:39
  Yeah.
• 19:39
  yeah, I definitely liked this book a lot.
• 19:41
  Yeah.
• 19:41
  You, what would you rate it?
• 19:42
  Oh, I'd probably give it like a nine.
• 19:44
  That's what I was thinking.
• 19:45
  Were you?
• 19:45
  Yeah.
• 19:46
  Um, I really liked it.
• 19:47
  Like I said, I'm gonna put the, um, and it's not a sequel?
• 19:50
  No.
• 19:50
  The, the other book, it's called The Breakdown by BA Paris, and she has another book that she has previously released.
• 19:56
  Okay.
• 19:56
  Um, and I did read it, I just can't remember the name of it, but it was also really good, like, I mean, she's just a.
• 20:00
  Yeah.
• 20:01
  A great author.
• 20:02
  Yeah, I really like her.
• 20:03
  And um, I have read something about her where they were like, did you put, uh, BA Paris as your initials on the book because, you wanted people to think you were a man?
• 20:12
  She was like, no, my first name is Bernadette and it's too long for the book cover.
• 20:17
  I thought that was pretty funny.
• 20:19
  I thought that was cute.
• 20:20
  Um, so yeah, we'll definitely add that one to our next list, list that, um, yeah, that we're compiling.
• 20:25
  I also read, since we did have extra long time, And I wasn't really wanting to read this book, but it kept popping up.
• 20:33
  I read the spare about Prince Harry.
• 20:36
  Oh, did you let me?
• 20:37
  Oh, by Prince Harry.
• 20:38
  Yeah.
• 20:38
  Oh, let me tell you.
• 20:40
  It was really good.
• 20:43
  Really?
• 20:43
  It was.
• 20:44
  And I have been in my mind that the whole thing with his new wife is blown out of purport.
• 20:51
  Like, you know, it's just, it didn't really happen.
• 20:54
  Of course, that you know, but yeah.
• 20:55
  He actually narrates the audiobook.
• 20:57
  Mm-hmm.
• 20:58
  And you're actually hearing him tell his story.
• 21:00
  Yeah.
• 21:00
  And it was, it was powerful.
• 21:03
  It was really good.
• 21:04
  Mm-hmm.
• 21:05
  Um, so I would recommend that, um, There's a lot that, you know, you're like, does that, does that really happen or not?
• 21:12
  And, you know, you could put anything in a book, but, um, some of the things that he says, I'm like, you know, I kinda remember the outfit that she had on when he said this happened.
• 21:21
  So yeah, if you're any, you know, if you have any interest in the Royals or, or you know, all of that stuff, I definitely would say, That was a good one.
• 21:29
  It was, yeah.
• 21:30
  It was pretty good.
• 21:31
  I think It's interesting that he narrated it.
• 21:33
  Narrated it.
• 21:34
  Yes, it was.
• 21:35
  It was because, so I started the book and it was like, um, I.
• 21:39
  Spare, read by me and I was like, oh.
• 21:43
  Like he said that.
• 21:44
  And I was like, you know, fan girl a little bit.
• 21:46
  Yeah.
• 21:46
  I used to have the biggest crush on his brother.
• 21:48
  Really?
• 21:49
  Yeah.
• 21:49
  Well before he lost all his hair.
• 21:52
  But you know, it, there's a lot in that book, like about drugs.
• 21:55
  He did.
• 21:56
  I didn't know.
• 21:56
  He was like hard drugs.
• 21:58
  Yeah.
• 21:58
  I didn't know that.
• 21:59
  I didn't know a lot of.
• 22:01
  Megan's history.
• 22:02
  I think she's gorgeous.
• 22:04
  Yeah, she's beautiful.
• 22:05
  Oh my gosh.
• 22:06
  Um, but there was a lot I didn't know about, you know, about that and just the way that some of the things come from his family.
• 22:12
  I'm talking not like, like Kate.
• 22:14
  Yeah, I mean, I'm, it, read it.
• 22:17
  If you have any interest in, in, royalty, like I said, go for it.
• 22:21

  That's a lot of cross here.
• 22:57
  You, yeah.

  Can you, can you ride your cow now?
• 23:01

• 23:02
  You can't beat your wife more than once a month.
• 23:04

• 23:05
  And I'm like, well, is it free for all to beat your husband?
• 23:09
  Absolutely.
• 23:10
  And what about like, February only having 28 days and then, you know, I has 30 like that.
• 23:16
  Um, I, I thought this one was funny.

  Never suddenly start or stop a vehicle at McDonald's.
• 23:21
  I did see that and I'm like, how through drive through.
• 23:24
  Right.
• 23:25
  I guess you have to ease into it a little bit, but I do have to tell you, do y'all go through many drive-throughs?
• 23:30
  No.
• 23:31
  I was gonna say, they always give me a drink tray, and I hate those things.
• 23:35
  I always tell Jackson if they gimme a drink tray, I'm gonna throw it back at'em.
• 23:38
  Cause you, you, what do you do?
• 23:39
  It falls over anyway.
• 23:40
  Yeah.
• 23:41
  I saw something though that the drink tray had like a double like usage, but I can't remember what it is at the moment, but I'll find it one day and I'll show it to you.
• 23:49
  It had like, like you were supposed to do something else with it.
• 23:52
  For your Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:53
  I got you.
• 23:54
  Kinda like the hole in the top of the Chick-fil-A nuggets is for your drink or something.
• 23:57
  Yeah.
• 23:57
  I don't know.
• 23:58
  Um, I had another one.
• 23:59
  Atheist cannot hold political office or testify as witnesses.
• 24:03
  I, I saw that and I would be like, let me tell you, if I ever got like, called to testify, I'd be like, sorry, I mind my business.

  But I don't wanna be a upon no front row.
• 24:19
  What else you got?
• 24:20
  Dogs are not allowed to bark after 6:00 PM in Little Rock.
• 24:24
  How do you control that?
• 24:25
  I don't know.
• 24:26
  I can't control my any hour of the day.
• 24:29
  Ooh.
• 24:29
  And the last one I have is Uhhuh.
• 24:30
  It's forbidden to keep a alligator in the bathtub.
• 24:33
  Why are there all the alligator ones and what happened that they had to make that a law?
• 24:40
  Listen to this one.
• 24:41
  You cannot name your child, zebra cadabra.
• 24:44
  Seriously, don't tell me what I can and cannot name my child.
• 24:47
  Not abbra, cadabra, zebra, Debra, whatever.
• 24:53
  I can't say.
• 24:54
  It's like I would do it just to, cuz you can't tell me what to do right, right.
• 24:58
  What she got for your crime.
• 25:00
  Okay.
• 25:00
  Um, I liked this one in Harrison, Arkansas, emergency personnel were called to a pawn shop regarding a man stuck in the store's chimney.
• 25:10
  Did you see this one?
• 25:11
  He tried to tell the police he was taking a shortcut home late the night before and decided to walk across the roofs of adjacent buildings.
• 25:20
  This was on the Today Show.
• 25:22
  Did you hear about the guy in Clover that died?
• 25:25
  No.
• 25:25
  So this was several years ago, but um, there's a.
• 25:30
  Like an open air flea market in Clover.
• 25:32
  I don't like kind of from here on the way.
• 25:33
  Yeah.
• 25:33
  Okay.
• 25:34
  So somebody was on the roof and it was wintertime.
• 25:37
  According to all the things I've heard.
• 25:41
  I can't remember exactly the time of the year.
• 25:42
  Anyway, he was trying to get into this building to get warm and he fell in the building he was on drugs or something.
• 25:50
  Yeah.
• 25:51
  And when he fell in, he fell between like the wall and the sheet rock or something, and he got stuck and nobody found him until he started to decay.
• 26:02
  No.
• 26:02
  Mm-hmm.
• 26:03
  Ew.
• 26:04
  Yeah.
• 26:05
  Well, so speaking of like local stuff.
• 26:08
  Yeah.
• 26:09
  So you know the Morgans, right?
• 26:11
  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 26:12
  Okay.
• 26:12
  So he was a pastor.
• 26:13
  Yes.
• 26:14
  At the church in.
• 26:15
  Like Wiley.
• 26:16
  I was looking up like dumb criminals I just put in like dumb criminals, whatever.
• 26:20
  And I guess because it knew my location, it brought up the local stuff too.
• 26:23
  Yeah.
• 26:24
  And it said that like the alarm went off at one o'clock in the morning and he found a naked guy in the church.
• 26:31
  Like he went down there because like the alarms were going on or whatever.
• 26:33
  Yeah.
• 26:33
  And so he, when hand went in and he found a naked van, oh my gosh.
• 26:37
  The church bathroom, like butt naked.
• 26:40
  From what I hear, a lot of people try to like, get in churches and go in their parking lots and stuff.
• 26:45
  Yeah.
• 26:46
  I don't know.
• 26:47
  Yeah.
• 26:48
  So that was mine.
• 26:48
  The demand fell in the chimney and it was like I said on the Today Show and Yeah.
• 26:53
  That, that got big news.
• 26:53
  What you got?
• 26:54
  Okay.
• 26:55
  Um, so this, I got from, it was like a radio station in Arkansas.
• 27:00
  Okay.
• 27:01
  After night of drinking too, Arkansas, men decided to test the durability of a bulletproof vest by shooting each other.
• 27:06
  Oh God.
• 27:07
  Residents, Charles e Eugene Ferris 50, and Christopher Hicks 36 ended up in the hospital where they told investigators, They were shot after they were hired for a secret mission that involved following someone through Hobb State Park, according to the Benton County Sheriff's Office.
• 27:23
  But when Ferris's wife showed up at the hospital, she had a different story to tell.
• 27:28
  She was not having it, and I'm sure the men had been drinking on Ferris's back porch when he asked Hicks to shoot him.
• 27:35
  Although the best stopped the bullet, it still left a painful margon Ferris's chest.
• 27:40
  That upset Ferris.
• 27:41
  So when Hicks put the vest on, Ferris unloaded the clip into Christopher's back.
• 27:45
  According to the affidavit, both men were arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault before releasing them on$5,000 bond.
• 27:52
  A judge issued a no contact order between the men.
• 27:55
  They each face up to six years in prison.
• 27:57
  Oh, 10,000.
• 27:58
  Oh my gosh.
• 27:59
  But can you picture that life coat rolling up in there?
• 28:02
  No.
• 28:02
  No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 28:04
  This is not what we're doing today.
• 28:05
  Yeah.
• 28:05
  We are not doing this.
• 28:07
  Yeah.
• 28:07
  Yeah.
• 28:07
  So then you're still drunk in the hospital when the cops got there and making up this story and the wife was like, mm-hmm.
• 28:11
  No, that is, no, no.
• 28:13
  Don't tell the truth right now.
• 28:14
  I'm gonna tell it for you.
• 28:15
  Yeah.
• 28:15
  Oh my gosh.
• 28:16
  Yeah.
• 28:17
  I feel like I would like to talk to her.
• 28:19
  Uh, for real.
• 28:21
  Yes.
• 28:21
  She's got stories.
• 28:22
  She's got stories for days.
• 28:24
  For days and days and days.
• 28:25
  That was a good one.
• 28:26
  There was a lot in Arkansas.
• 28:27
  I actually had a couple more, but we're gonna skip them.
• 28:29
  So Yeah, there was a lot.
• 28:30
  There was a lot.
• 28:32
  Have we done, um, we did Mississippi, right?
• 28:35
  Yes.
• 28:36
  In Kentucky.
• 28:37
  Ooh, okay.
• 28:39
  I like it.
• 28:39
  All right.
• 28:40
  I like it.
• 28:40
  And our book next time, um, is, is the last Mrs.
• 28:44
  Perish?
• 28:44
  Yes.
• 28:44
  The last Mrs.
• 28:45
  Parish by Liv Constantine.
• 28:47
  Cool.
• 28:47
  Okay.
• 28:48
  So, and then we, what'd you just say?
• 28:49
  Kentucky?
• 28:50
  Kentucky, yes.
• 28:50
  Okay.
• 28:51
  Kentucky.
• 28:51
  So, remember like.
• 28:54
  Back in like early two thousands, late nineties, early two thousands, you know, obviously we didn't have a lot of like the social media stuff going on.
• 29:01
  Yes.
• 29:01
  Where we're getting targeted for ads.
• 29:02
  Like every time you open your phone.
• 29:04
  Right.
• 29:04
  Uh, but there was infomercials.
• 29:06
  Yes.
• 29:06
  And so I am like the target market for like, I would sit there, I would be be in college, like get home from like, Parties or whatever, or the bar.
• 29:14
  And like, and I would watch the, the infomercials for rotisserie chicken makers and Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 29:19
  Like, I mean, like, yeah.
• 29:20
  I always sit there for hours and just watch it.
• 29:22
  Now were you just watching'em or did you purchase?
• 29:24
  I both.
• 29:25
  Okay.
• 29:26
  I am, like, I, I get sucked into that stuff.
• 29:28
  Okay.
• 29:29
  So easily.
• 29:29
  And which is probably why Facebook targets me so much for all these freaking ads.
• 29:34
  But I did get the body snatching.
• 29:36
  I cannot wait to hear what you thought about it.
• 29:37
  Okay.
• 29:38
  I've got lots of thoughts.
• 29:39
  Okay, so I, I got the pack of three cuz it was like by two or by three, gets 70% off or something like that, which, so I gotcha.
• 29:48
  So, oh, this is that the black one's upstairs.
• 29:52
  Okay.
• 29:52
  So, You can see like, yeah.
• 29:55
  Yeah.
• 29:56
  Um, so the girls on the little, the little, uh, yeah.
• 30:00
  Videos say you don't have to wear a bra.
• 30:02
  That is not true.
• 30:03
  Okay.
• 30:04
  Cause all your stuff will be showing.
• 30:07
  Yeah.
• 30:07
  I mean, that's not, that's not a true statement.
• 30:09
  So it's like these are not braless things.
• 30:12
  Okay.
• 30:12
  So still make where I guess it had like smaller.
• 30:14
  Chest, but I could not go braless.
• 30:16
  Okay.
• 30:16
  In this.
• 30:17
  Um, and like you'd be able to see like, right.
• 30:20
  And that doesn't see any, look like any support No.
• 30:23
  Or anything.
• 30:24
  Okay.
• 30:24
  But it's like, it's very tight.
• 30:25
  Like it Sure.
• 30:26
  It's kind of constricted.
• 30:27
  Yeah.
• 30:27
  But No, but you still need something to Yeah.
• 30:30
  Like cover, maybe be showing everything.
• 30:32
  Everything.
• 30:33
  Yeah.
• 30:33
  Yeah, yeah.
• 30:34
  Um, it does, uh, for when you have to pee, it's got like these little like snap.
• 30:39
  Okay.
• 30:39
  Um, which I put on jeans just to see if it, like, it would be uncomfortable and it's not, it's not uncomfortable.
• 30:45
  Um, did you try to use the bathroom when you had it on though?
• 30:50
  And like, that looks like not easy to maneuver.
• 30:54
  It's not that bad.
• 30:55
  Like I, like, I, you know, it's easy, easy more, but I mean, even when you have it on, yeah.
• 30:59
  Like, okay.
• 30:59
  Yeah.
• 30:59
  Yeah.
• 31:00
  Okay.
• 31:00
  Um, Because like this is pretty high.
• 31:03
  Like, it's like Yeah, up high.
• 31:04
  Oh, okay.
• 31:04
  It's not underneath.
• 31:06
  Okay.
• 31:06
  Like higher up in that area.
• 31:08
  Okay.
• 31:08
  Okay.
• 31:08
  Okay.
• 31:09
  That makes sense.
• 31:09
  Your access.
• 31:10
  Yes.
• 31:11
  You're not doing it blind.
• 31:13
  Right, right.
• 31:13
  That's what I was thinking.
• 31:14
  That's what I was thinking.
• 31:16
  Okay.
• 31:16
  Like, so like it, it looks like.
• 31:18
  Oh, baby's onesie, you know, like Uhhuh, um, is what I immediately, what I thought of.
• 31:23
  Um, it does constrict, um, your waist mm-hmm.
• 31:27
  Quite a bit.
• 31:27
  Mm-hmm.
• 31:28
  Um, and it's, what I like about it is some of these, um, the panels are only like right where your, like your actual waistline is.
• 31:34
  Mm-hmm.
• 31:34
  Um, this goes all the way, like down.
• 31:36
  It looked like it, yeah.
• 31:37
  Yeah.
• 31:37
  Like right under where your bra would be.
• 31:39
  Right.
• 31:39
  And then right at your hips it looks like.
• 31:40
  Yeah.
• 31:40
  So, and that's where I hold, like my weight is like my lower belly.
• 31:43
  Mm-hmm.
• 31:44
  And so a lot of these.
• 31:45
  Things that have come out, like it only does like your actual waistline.
• 31:48
  Mm-hmm.
• 31:48
  Um, and so this I really liked because it does so my down.
• 31:52
  So it did get that spot.
• 31:52
  Mm-hmm.
• 31:53
  Awesome.
• 31:53
  Um, so I didn't wear it for a length of time.
• 31:55
  I don't know if it like, stretch out throughout the day, so I haven't given it a test for that yet, but I would give it like a seven outta 10 cause I stopped to wear a bra.
• 32:05
  Yeah.
• 32:06
  Yeah.
• 32:07
  But I don't see that as being something that you would wear all the time.
• 32:11
  No, no, no.
• 32:12
  Like, I mean, oh.
• 32:14
  The girls in the freaking video were like, oh, I like, I'm gonna wear this to the beach.
• 32:17
  You cannot wear that to the beach.
• 32:19
  You have like right with those snaps at the crutch?
• 32:22
  No, no, and no.
• 32:24
  So like Okay.
• 32:24
  They were very misleading, like some of the stuff that they had said in there.
• 32:28
  Okay.
• 32:28
  Um, but it did, I mean, it didn't like sta me like the, some of these girls in the videos, but it did like give me the control.
• 32:35
  Yeah.
• 32:35
  For like that little extra and smooth that a little bit.
• 32:37
  Yes.
• 32:38
  Um, now was the sizing we had talked about size before.
• 32:41
  It was good.
• 32:41
  It was accurate.
• 32:42
  I got a small, um, yeah.
• 32:43
  It.
• 32:44
  And that was what they recommended with your Yeah, with my weight.
• 32:47
  Yeah.
• 32:47
  Um, but I, when I was trying to get it on right, so like, I couldn't, my, my butt's pretty big, for like my frame.
• 32:54
  And so I like it was going on that way.
• 32:57
  And so like, I had to set up.
• 32:57
  That's, that's what I was gonna ask.
• 32:58
  Did you do a I had to go over my head.
• 33:00
  Okay.
• 33:01
  And then like, I got stuck for a hot minute.
• 33:03
  Oh yeah.
• 33:03
  And I was like, oh my God, this is gonna be, so I'm gonna have to call Brandon.
• 33:08
  I've done that before.
• 33:09
  So not with like a bodysuit, but like, just like a, a tank that's compresses a little.
• 33:13
  Yeah.
• 33:14
  And especially when you get outta the shower or you're hot getting ready.
• 33:17
  Cause I get hot when I get ready.
• 33:18
  Yeah.
• 33:18
  And I'm like, Brian, you have got, I'm, I'm, I'm freaking out.
• 33:22
  You've got to unroll this.
• 33:23
  Like, take my phone.
• 33:25
  You like, I was like, oh, yeah.
• 33:26
  Said, I'm like, how am I gonna get to my phone?
• 33:28
  Hey Siri.
• 33:29
  You know?
• 33:30
  But, um, I was really afraid I was gonna have to call Brandon in for like, backup, um, trying to get this thing on on.
• 33:37
  But once it was on, like, it definitely, and it's got adjustable straps, which is nice.
• 33:41
  Yeah.
• 33:41
  Saw that.
• 33:42
  Um, so the adjustable straps, but like the, the, the straps feel really flimsy.
• 33:46
  Yeah.
• 33:46
  They don't, they don't look like they would do much.
• 33:48
  I think underneath like a dress.
• 33:49
  Sure.
• 33:49
  Like if you have to wear, you know, something that you don't nicer and Yeah.
• 33:53
  You're like any kind of stuff coming Yeah.
• 33:56
  Out like, you know, like I got like little bulges.
• 34:00
  Um, I think it would like really smooth you out.
• 34:02
  Yes.
• 34:03
  Um, for that type, type of situation.
• 34:04
  Yes.
• 34:04
  Um, how well, however, for a dress, if it's.
• 34:07
  Form fitting, like you probably wanna wear, if boys are youth listening, please cover your ears.
• 34:12
  Um, but you probably wanna wear like a thong, like so you don't have like the face lines.
• 34:16
  Right.
• 34:16
  And that would not give it to you cuz it's a full, but yeah, they probably make, they'll probably start making them that they do just add for it.
• 34:23
  Um, and that version, or like with a boy short.
• 34:27
  Kind of would be better too.
• 34:28
  Then I, I also saw another one that has a underwire bra built into it, and I was like, that's the one that, that's it.
• 34:34
  Yeah.
• 34:34
  That's the ticket.
• 34:35
  Yeah.
• 34:35
  So, um, I think Okay.
• 34:38
  For what it is, right.
• 34:39
  Um, I think, you know, and I, again, I think I paid$25 for all three.
• 34:44
  Yeah.
• 34:44
  So I.
• 34:45
  It was, it is what it is.
• 34:46
  Yeah.
• 34:46
  If I wear it like once, I'm like, oh, okay, whatever.
• 34:48
  Yeah, yeah.
• 34:49
  Um, I'm not returning it cuz it would have to go all the way to Poland and then wherever came for Poland.
• 34:54
  But, uh, yeah.
• 34:56
  Well good.
• 34:57
  I'm glad you finally got it.
• 34:58
  I'm glad to hear your review.
• 34:59
  And that's a pretty, I mean, that's a pretty good review and that's still a high number.
• 35:03
  Yeah.
• 35:03
  Um, yeah.
• 35:04
  That's still a, a seven's still good.
• 35:06
  Yeah.
• 35:06
  So like, you know mm-hmm.
• 35:08
  I think it's, again, the only reason I knocked it down was cuz.
• 35:11
  I thought I didn't have to wear a bra.
• 35:13
  And I do.
• 35:13
  Yeah, I got you.
• 35:15
  I got you.
• 35:15
  So we'll see.
• 35:16
  Yeah.
• 35:17
  Um, we were talking earlier and you told me you tried a new makeup.
• 35:20
  I did.
• 35:21
  Um, so I.
• 35:23
  Again on Facebook.
• 35:25
  Mm-hmm.
• 35:26
  I, a girl I follow, is a private detective.
• 35:29
  Mm-hmm.
• 35:30
  And she, also sells Saint makeup.
• 35:32
  Yeah.
• 35:32
  And so she's always doing her makeup telling these funny Yes.
• 35:35
  Pi stories.
• 35:36
  Yes.
• 35:36
  so I was like, that looks so much easier than mm-hmm.
• 35:39
  And I'm not, I'm, we've talked about this, right?
• 35:41
  Like, I'm not a makeup person.
• 35:42
  I don't do makeup well, um, same.
• 35:45
  I attempt it.
• 35:47
  Mm-hmm.
• 35:47
  And hope for the best.
• 35:49
  Um, so.
• 35:50
  Her doing this like five minute makeup thing.
• 35:52
  I'm like, dude, like this is so much easier.
• 35:54
  Yeah.
• 35:54
  And so I bought it, the whole like first whatever with the contour, whatever highlighter and, yeah.
• 36:02
  That again, makeup is not for me, like yeah.
• 36:04
  To do it.
• 36:05
  Um, but I really like it.
• 36:07
  Um, I gave it a month before I wanted to even bring it up because I wanted to see which the first couple times it was hard to acclimate to.
• 36:14
  It is hard to, yeah.
• 36:16
  Cuz I use it too.
• 36:17
  Yeah.
• 36:17
  Um, I've been using it for about a year.
• 36:20
  Mm-hmm.
• 36:20
  And I don't wear makeup every day.
• 36:22
  Mm-hmm.
• 36:22
  Um, And I want something relatively easy.
• 36:27
  Yeah.
• 36:27
  When I do, that's not a whole lot of products.
• 36:29
  Cause I get lost in all the products.
• 36:31
  Yeah.
• 36:31
  And, but I love buying them and I'll never use them.
• 36:34
  Right.
• 36:34
  Um, and I, I like that it's, um, I just feel like it really on these videos, like you said, It works so good.
• 36:42
  Yeah, so I don't think it translates to me though.
• 36:45
  Well, they know and they also probably have filters on their videos and whatever else, I like the coverage.
• 36:50
  Yeah.
• 36:50
  I think I have it on today.
• 36:51
  Um, um, I like the coverage with it, but with it being a cream like it is and not like a liquid, I feel like it's very heavy.
• 37:01
  Okay.
• 37:01
  Um, and I have a problem with that sometimes, like trying to, so basically what you do you wanna go ahead and explain it?
• 37:07
  No, go ahead.
• 37:07
  Okay.
• 37:08
  So if you're the pro, even a ear, no, no, no.
• 37:11
  So you, um, you get.
• 37:13
  Color matched and they recommend the colors that are gonna be your highlight, your contour, your blush, your lip color, all that kind of stuff.
• 37:19
  and then they send it to you in a palette with all these different colors and it tells you what to use where.
• 37:25
  And then you put it on your face and it's says one layer thing.
• 37:28
  You don't build it right.
• 37:29
  And it's a cream and you put it on, and then you just kind of blot it in your skin.
• 37:32
  Mm-hmm.
• 37:33
  I have a hard time with the blotting it, I wanna like swipe it all over and rub it.
• 37:36
  Um, She use their brushes?
• 37:38
  I do.
• 37:38
  I have the same ones that I see over there.
• 37:40
  Yeah.
• 37:40
  I love their brushes and I saw somebody else was like using a beauty blender and I did try that and I hated that.
• 37:45
  That was like awful.
• 37:46
  Yeah, I don't like that either.
• 37:47
  So their brushes were awesome.
• 37:49
  Yeah, I like their brushes too.
• 37:50
  I've been trying to take better care of the brushes, you know, so cleaning'em and stuff.
• 37:53
  Um, what do you use the big fluffy in for?
• 37:56
  Cause I can't really like, cuz it's so soft.
• 37:59
  Yeah.
• 37:59
  You can't really dab.
• 38:01
  I thought it was supposed to be for blush cause that's what I said.
• 38:03
  And yeah.
• 38:04
  I can't get my blush to do anything with that end.
• 38:06
  No.
• 38:07
  So I, I don't know.
• 38:08
  I'm still trying to figure it out.
• 38:09
  Okay.
• 38:09
  Um, maybe the bronzer and the highlight or the, um Okay.
• 38:13
  The bronzer.
• 38:13
  Um, did you get the setting powder?
• 38:16
  Yes, but I don't use it.
• 38:18
  Yeah.
• 38:18
  No, but I do have that.
• 38:19
  Yeah.
• 38:20
  I really, really like it.
• 38:21
  Um, I, so if you're watching the video version of this mm-hmm.
• 38:26
  This is what my makeup bag was.
• 38:29
  Mm-hmm.
• 38:30
  And now this is what makeup is.
• 38:34
  So I really, really, really like the portability.
• 38:37
  Agreed.
• 38:37
  And everything's in one and that it's, I mean, it seems to last a while.
• 38:41
  It does.
• 38:42
  I think I've a little tiny bit twice, and again, I don't wear makeup every day, so, I mean, I'm not, you know, using it.
• 38:47
  Too frequently, but a few times a week.
• 38:49
  Yeah.
• 38:50
  Um, and I, I do feel like it stays on pretty good.
• 38:52
  Yeah.
• 38:53
  Um, I just don't, I'm still getting used to, and with it being a year, I don't know the, but like I said, I feel like it's kind of the dabbing heavy.
• 39:01
  Yeah.
• 39:02
  Um, But it's okay.
• 39:03
  I like it.
• 39:04
  I like the way it looks.
• 39:05
  Well, and I feel like, I mean, getting older, um, you know, products just don't work with my skin as good anyway.
• 39:11
  Right.
• 39:12
  Um, and I feel like that works really well with Yeah.
• 39:16
  My fine lines.
• 39:16
  Well, one thing they say before you use that makeup, one thing that I've read is they say like, put on a liquid or Cream.
• 39:24
  Before.
• 39:25
  Before, yeah.
• 39:25
  Moisturizer.
• 39:26
  Yeah.
• 39:27
  Um, cause I like to use oil.
• 39:29
  Oils on my face too.
• 39:30
  Yeah.
• 39:30
  But my, I have got such dry skin.
• 39:32
  yeah.
• 39:33
  So I like try to pile on moisturizer.
• 39:36
  A million times a day.
• 39:37
  I know.
• 39:38
  I try to too.
• 39:38
  And I've got some with, they're like Aveeno and they have SPF built in.
• 39:42
  And I really like those because like I said, I get almost claustrophobic feeling like I get really hot with stuff like that.
• 39:48
  So I'm gonna link my, We'll link our, my Aveeno, if you don't mind.
• 39:52
  No, no, because it's a, like I said, it's a light moisturizer, but it's got s spf, which we should all be wearing.
• 39:56
  Yes.
• 39:57
  Um, so we'll link that too.
• 39:59
  But if I'm wearing a hat, like, which I do like 99, I know me too time, I don't wear makeup.
• 40:03
  I have totally, my only problem, I got these super dark circles under my eyes, and that's probably from not sleeping, um, or being stressed 99% of the time.
• 40:13
  Yeah.
• 40:13
  You know, I, I don't wear makeup a lot, but I don't do it either, especially, so I had my eyebrows tattooed a couple years ago.
• 40:20
  Mm-hmm.
• 40:20
  And, um, especially now that I have permanent eyebrows.
• 40:23
  Cause before, I mean, it was like I would get outta the pool and my eyebrows would be gone.
• 40:29
  So now that, especially that I've gotten those guys on there, I don't do makeup a lot.
• 40:33
  Yeah.
• 40:33
  And I probably should do it more, but, sun blocks to me is, is more important than makeup.
• 40:37
  Yeah.
• 40:38
  Um, people well, you know, on, on, with my buying sprees lately, I, I guess I get bored and like, I just start, I get, I hit with all these ads.
• 40:48
  Uh, yeah.
• 40:49
  And probably with all the stress, you're, you're medicating a little bit.
• 40:52
  Yes.
• 40:52
  Maybe.
• 40:52
  Maybe purchases, seeing a therapist might be cheaper.
• 40:57
  This is our therapy.
• 40:58
  This is.
• 40:59
  That's actually what I told Brandon.
• 41:00
  I need this.
• 41:01
  Because, you know, as moms, I know we've talked about this before, right?
• 41:03
  Like you gotta like fill your cup back up, to be able to give to your family.
• 41:07
  And I feel like this gives me that, um, release, I guess, or, you know, filling my cup back up with Yes.
• 41:14
  Adult time or, you know.
• 41:15
  Right, right.
• 41:16
  Being able to, to connect with people we don't even know.
• 41:18
  I think it's, you know.
• 41:20
  Yeah.
• 41:20
  Absolutely.
• 41:21
  To have that time and you know, when we see each other out, we talk.
• 41:24
  Yeah.
• 41:24
  But it's nice to have like a carved out time where we don't feel like we're running, uh, gotta go, gotta get Yeah.
• 41:29
  At, at the grocery store.
• 41:30
  Yeah.
• 41:30
  Which is always where we meet.
• 41:32
  I know.
• 41:33
  Always.
• 41:33
  oh, nice.
• 41:34
  But I, I believe I've touched on this before cuz Rex would not drink the water in clover, like the, the tap water.
• 41:39
  Yes.
• 41:39
  So, um, did you find a solution?
• 41:41
  I did Uhhuh, well, and I was just using like a Brita water pitcher, whatever for him and like, that's mostly what we drink, like 90%.
• 41:47
  Yeah.
• 41:47
  Uh, like I heard they ever buy juice and never buy soda.
• 41:50
  Like, and just all three of us just like water.
• 41:53
  So, yeah Brandon, I swear.
• 41:55
  Thought I was crazy for the longest time.
• 41:57
  And like, I'm like, the water tastes funny here.
• 41:59
  I don't like it.
• 42:00
  It's like, it's taste as there's a chemical taste.
• 42:02
  Yeah.
• 42:02
  I don't know what it is.
• 42:04
  And he's like, you're crazy.
• 42:05
  And then like, Rex wouldn't drink the water.
• 42:07
  And I'm like, no, there's something wrong.
• 42:08
  Like, the dog won't drink, Rex won't drink it.
• 42:10
  There's something.
• 42:10
  Stop drinking water.
• 42:11
  There's something wrong with the water.
• 42:13
  Even like the refrigerator water, yeah.
• 42:14
  It still just tastes funny to me.
• 42:16
  So I got the.
• 42:18
  Big giant, like glacier fresh gravity fed water filter system, and it's got six different filters in it.
• 42:24
  Wow.
• 42:25
  Um, so there's like the, um, carbon filter or the fluoride filter, like it's got all this stuff and stuff and like the water tastes so good.
• 42:33
  does it, it tastes like nothing, which is what it should taste like.
• 42:35
  Right.
• 42:35
  So is it hook?
• 42:36
  So do you fill it?
• 42:37
  Yeah.
• 42:37
  You spill it on the top.
• 42:38
  Okay.
• 42:38
  And then like, it, it drips down.
• 42:40
  Um, okay.
• 42:40
  So it does two and that 2.25 gallons at a time.
• 42:43
  Wow.
• 42:44
  Um, and I just keep a picture in the fridge so it's cold for when Rex needs a refill, of course it gets chill water.
• 42:52
  Um, and everybody else drinks it right.
• 42:53
  Cold water and then nobody else spills it back up to get cold water.
• 42:56
  That's the way it.
• 42:58
  Find that toilet paper roll that never gets Exactly.
• 43:01
  Um, but I got it on Amazon figuring of course, you know, like if it didn't work or whatever, there's no issues trying to get it back.
• 43:07
  but there was a coupon for it.
• 43:09
  Um, oh, I love it.
• 43:10
  I know.
• 43:10
  And you know, I'm on all those deals.
• 43:12
  Facebook cards.
• 43:13
  I was gonna say when you were talking about the infomercials, those are what get me those Are you on telegram?
• 43:19
  No.
• 43:19
  Oh my God.
• 43:20
  Okay.
• 43:20
  We got, okay.
• 43:22
  Maybe I shouldn't tell you cause I'm in the one where it's like, this is 80% off today.
• 43:26
  You need to grab it.
• 43:27
  And I'm like, I don't know what it's, but I need it.
• 43:28
  Grab it.
• 43:29
  Grab it.
• 43:29
  Yeah.
• 43:31
  Um, but yeah, it's, it works great.
• 43:33
  Um, and so then I, of course I'm like, well, I don't wanna use ice cubes.
• 43:37
  From like the clover water and put it into my nice clean water.
• 43:40
  That's the purpose.
• 43:41
  So I got, um, I was looking at like the countertop.
• 43:44
  I like, I don't have room, like for countertop ice cube thing.
• 43:48
  So I just got these, these little ice cube trays and they come out, the ice is like little pebbles.
• 43:53
  Um, it's, it's like these little, little, so you and you use your fresh water?
• 43:57
  Mm-hmm.
• 43:57
  Your, your filtered water for that.
• 43:59
  My sister has an ice maker.
• 44:01
  Um, that's, gosh, kind of, you know, about a foot square.
• 44:04
  Yeah.
• 44:04
  And it sits And the ice is the good CRUT kind.
• 44:07
  Yeah.
• 44:07
  Like the sonic ice.
• 44:09
  Yeah.
• 44:09
  So it came in like, a stack of four.
• 44:12
  Okay.
• 44:12
  Um, ice cube trays.
• 44:13
  Yeah.
• 44:13
  And it's the cutest little ice pebbles.
• 44:17
  We were going through like three cases of water a week and you know, that's a lot of plastic.
• 44:22
  That's a lot, you know, so, and you know, half bottles all over the house.
• 44:26
  Oh, I were the place.
• 44:27
  Um, so this, um, it'll be like a hundred dollars a year to maintain it with the filters.
• 44:31
  There you go.
• 44:32
  Um, so I.
• 44:35
  Its worth it.
• 44:35
  It's worth to me.
• 44:36
  It's worth it.
• 44:37
  Yeah.
• 44:37
  And saving all that plastic.
• 44:38
  Yeah.
• 44:38
  Not, not So I wanna like a little like push cart for the kitchen and keep that on it.
• 44:43
  Yeah.
• 44:43
  So it's not like blocking my cabinets.
• 44:46
  It doesn't look bad though.
• 44:47
  It's nice and shiny and clean and, but, but yeah.
• 44:50
  I get you.
• 44:50
