Speaker 1:That you knew that I was going to say your name.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Once you started saying Sandra, I was like where's she going with this? Yeah, and then I heard you and I was like oh, that's me.
Speaker 1:You did a really good job too.
Speaker 2:Thank you. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1:Well, just before we start, hit subscribe please. There's no button here, but just hit it. Yeah, you have a pretend one over here as well. We are just subscribe, yeah, just all over the place. Yeah, um, I am a licensed esthetician, no licensed comedian stand-up esthetician. I've been doing um skincare for 25 years. Um, we do the show not to give you medical advice, but to just go through things that come up in skincare and questions that I get from my clients a lot of times that I, I do my to answer and a lot of times I end up learning a lot, and even learn even more from my podcast guests.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a nice little circle of information and laughter. And also, we do this for art, art, we do this for art.
Speaker 1:That was so corny and laughter. You sound like the AI description that's going to be on this later. That's what I do.
Speaker 2:I'm actually trying to mimic how AI talks now, so people will think that I'm just a flesh AI and I'll be like how was your coffee? The superb affluence of the beans really created such an atmosphere that I wanted to pay more money for I don't know, it's not very good.
Speaker 1:I'm learning. They set up. They're like imagine yourself, no, imagine yourself, no, imagine what it would be like to be sitting in a coffee shop and it's, and then, and then they have you set the anyways they have a whole like they're trying to set the stage.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, I think it's pretty good that, like they can take something and basically spin it and make it seem so much. It's like. It's like, it's like AI is just like a really good car salesman, it's like a really good's, just like. No, no, no, don't let this thing, you know like mathematically, they'll buy from you.
Speaker 1:It's worth the 20 a month. Yeah, it's fascinating. I think it's really cool. So yeah, and I often will alter it a little bit myself, so it's not completely cheesy yeah but it does pick up on weird shit. But um, you didn't uh, okay, so this tape, oh I thought that was.
Speaker 2:Uh, I thought you had like pieces of like almond tortilla on your face. You just kind of kept the almond flour tortilla.
Speaker 1:No, sir, I am wearing I was going to try to wear what is right here silicone scar tape, and it's cheaper than doing the silicone pads that you can get. The silicone pads are really good and they're very. They're already pre-cut and you know, some of the they're thicker, like the ones for the chest, so that you don't wrinkle when you're sleeping um. But the idea is to hold in the moisture and and they breathe okay so I've had these on pretty much all day. I cut out my own shapes today oh, that's nice yeah, so I might.
Speaker 1:Sometimes I've actually made like a little bit of a wrinkle, because I like to pull it out.
Speaker 2:Okay, oh gotcha.
Speaker 1:So you can tell me what you think. Okay, so far I'm going to. You can reuse these too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I do the same thing with paper towels.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, you actually can reuse these up to like seven times and they're washable. Yeah, okay, so I'm pulling this off. It's a little bit Whoa.
Speaker 2:That's amazing.
Speaker 1:It is.
Speaker 2:It looks good. I can't believe you re-grew skin under there so fast. No, you look good. Yeah, I can tell. Oh, can I have this? Yes, thanks.
Speaker 1:With the under eye. You got to be kind of careful.
Speaker 2:Is it because the eye, because the skin is thin under there? Yes, now Nikki, tell me, um, wait, no, seriously, these are like so they oh wait, so wait, they keep the moisture in. So you, you put water on them first, or do you put?
Speaker 1:it's just, I just wash my face. You're supposed to put it on clean skin. Um, if it was a scar, it would flatten it out if it's a wrinkle, then it it might flatten it out as well okay because you're not making that face all day.
Speaker 2:Oh right, you're not actually you're not Okay, because you're not making that face all day. Oh right, you're not. Actually. You're not leaning into it, right, not leaning into the skull. Into life, yeah, into the life. I like how you put these on the table. You stuck them like that. You have the same principle with these as you do flosser sticks and gum and gum. Yeah, nikki's been in the room Where's the gum? And then just like walks out.
Speaker 1:What is your assessment? Does it look different at all?
Speaker 2:Yeah, a little smoother.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, how is it around my eyes? Nice yeah, yeah, very nice, my objective with the eyes was to look a little.
Speaker 2:It kind of flattens down you had these huge lumps under there before. But no, it does. No, it looks good, though. Yeah, it's. No, it looks good, though yeah smoother.
Speaker 1:We'll see if it lasts for the rest of the show interesting cool so I, uh, I put it on the stories in on instagram, and so I'm going to direct people to watch the episode to see, um, what the actual results are. So this is it. I'm not wearing any makeup at all. By the way, I'm not even wearing concealer at the moment.
Speaker 2:So, uh, the glasses are staying on I like it just remind me if I take them off okay, no, you look good either way. Good anyway, it's very nice. Okay, yeah, most people look hideous without makeup. You look good. Yeah, you know this from experience yeah. No, you look fantastic because also, like the lighting in here is like the lighting here is good, right, but at the same time, if you didn't look good, you'd be able to tell even more. See, more, see what's good lighting yeah and if you look terrible, it would just emphasize, it would showcase that how terrible I look yeah because the only way lighting works is behind the camera.
Speaker 2:With people that like like in here, we all look like garbage you know right right but on the camera we look good but no you look really good.
Speaker 1:I just ran around in so many circles in my brain trying to follow you. I'm exhausted it exhausted.
Speaker 2:I used to be a lawyer.
Speaker 1:Not a licensed one though.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, just freelance.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we prefer not to do anything with licensing, we do it with license. Wait, what does that mean again, license?
Speaker 2:With license, like you're able to do it. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So yeah, we do it with license.
Speaker 2:And we physically have never gone down to City Hall and gotten a license to do anything.
Speaker 1:Or taken a test for State Board? No, except me.
Speaker 2:Oh, thanks, because you're a comedian.
Speaker 1:Exactly. Perfect, the joke makes sense finally, oh, it was so good. Thank you for wrapping that up. How are you feeling?
Speaker 2:I feel good.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:I feel good. I'm excited for today because, I don't know what the topic is and I specifically told you don't tell me, because I want to know when we get there.
Speaker 1:Okay, you want me to tell you now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, now's good, Okay good.
Speaker 1:All right. So I think, was it last week we talked about? Oh no, two weeks ago we talked about with Renee um Lancaster. We talked about kids products and all the toxic stuff that's in the kids products, the phthalates, right? So just to give you a quick backstory, I started this morning trying to figure out like I was going to do like the five most popular skin creams and the toxic chemicals that are in there, but then I just kept getting like pushed to the phthalates, phthalates, phthalates. So I was like, all right, you know what, let's take a look at it a little bit closer. And also I want to take a look at it in terms of how to get get it out of your body.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 1:Like to flush it from your system Once you know okay so and to know where it is before you purchase the product. So we're going to go through a few of those things. Okay, that's cool, and honestly, with this podcast, I don't care if we repeat stuff, because I mean I forget it so quickly.
Speaker 2:I don't even know what's going on half the time. No, but I'm glad to help.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just sit there and look. Just sit there and look. Yeah, not pretty. Yeah, yeah, just sit there and look, yeah, not pretty, yeah, um, oh, I just hit the.
Speaker 2:Could you not hit the?
Speaker 1:microphone please. I'll try. I'm sorry, alex, I'm sorry about that. Um, how are?
Speaker 2:you feeling? I feel good okay I feel very, very good um.
Speaker 1:I'm excited for today's guest I just I keep wanting you to say that we had like an argument in the car on the way oh, we had an argument in the car, but then we don't talk about the argument itself. No, I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:But there's a certain thing that professionals do when they have to do a podcast, yeah, and they're like this is a podcast, you know, like this is something that people might listen to Maybe. So put that argument aside. You know, wipe your feet, don't bring your problems inside.
Speaker 2:Take the dog poop off your shoes, wipe it on the mat, but dog poop off your shoes, wipe it on, wipe it on the mat out, but don't bring us. Leave for other people. Yeah, leave your problems for other people to deal with. Outside the. If you're arguing, bring another couple in and start yelling at them, and then they'll and then start picking and then the husband will go, what? And then the wife will go why don't you stick up for me? And then you're like, okay, let's go yeah and then we come in.
Speaker 2:You know, here we are here we are, and I love you just as much as I loved you probably before I knew you. Yeah.
Speaker 1:So I think the love is just growing I think so too. I think we're actually.
Speaker 2:once I sit down, I'm actually I forget about it which is, honestly, that's like 100% of arguments, I feel like, are you're not even arguing about the thing, ever the thing. And if we're like talking and we're getting back and forth, then eventually I'm just in my head, I'm going how do we wait, what, how do we? And then I'm sure you're doing the same thing, and then none of us wants to be like listen, wait, I have no idea what we're talking about, but we're like no, I'm right or wrong.
Speaker 1:I'm still mad because my body feels angry so obviously you, you did something wrong.
Speaker 2:You want to fill in. You wronged me Exactly. Yeah, oh nice.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying? Like obviously my body feels like this and I have a lump in my stomach and tightness in my chest. You must've been wrong.
Speaker 2:Right, I must've been wrong and I need to fill in the gaps of you know knowledge with this. Why has this happened? Oh, it's this, this and this. Yeah, right, like everything in my life. Everything that's gone wrong in my life is because one person cut me off in 1995. And I and every I'm just kidding, that's what it feels like it's like well, one person cuts you off you're like that's, that's the guy.
Speaker 1:You ruined my entire life and you're like, see, life is shitty Every time, something bad happens to you, and then somebody says something nice to you and you're like what's your problem?
Speaker 2:You know, Because you want to stay in that mode.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But no more. I feel much better about that.
Speaker 1:Okay, good, I do too.
Speaker 2:All you have to do guys, if you feel like that, start a podcast. If you feel angry, immediately do a podcast right afterwards. You'll forget your. If you're with family, start a podcast and then just do a podcast afterwards. Do what we do.
Speaker 1:That's a really good point Just don't be a skincare podcast, because we don't need the competition.
Speaker 2:Yeah, be creative, but don't be hacking.
Speaker 1:I know there's so many skincare comedy podcasts at the moment.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, yeah, what's that? One Coconut oil boil, I think was my favorite one Coconut oil boil, I don't know, I almost said oinkle boinkle. Oh my God, oil boil. I don't know how was it, oh my god, but it didn't make any sense.
Speaker 1:I don't know of any others, but don't tell me, I just don't burst my bubble. If you find one, all right, let's bring up the guest. Bring out the guest okay, so we've had her before and I just think she's so fantastic. I told you the other day I had a little baby crush on her. Um, I love the way she dances. I think she's really funny and, uh, she's so up and happy. What do you have to say about her?
Speaker 2:She's hilarious. She's one of a kind and a person that you should let into your life, because she's just a ball of light and she's hilarious and funny and she makes up, makes up. She's a fantastic songwriter. She's a fantastic songwriter and, yeah, they'll stick in your head for days and days and you'll be laughing. So, yeah, I think we should bring out our guests.

Speaker 3:You two are unique too. That's what's exciting, Because last time I was here, we knew each other, but we didn't know each other as well.
Speaker 2:Right right.
Speaker 3:And I feel like now we know each other a lot more. So it's kind of fun. It's like an evolving relationship.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, so we can have conversations and no one has to know what we're talking about.
Speaker 1:Exactly conversations and no one has to know what we're talking about.
Speaker 2:It's kind of better that way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you were saying you wanted to get some of that tape.
Speaker 3:Huh, I do that sounds great, yeah, and you look fantastic. Okay, good, I can't believe you don't have makeup on.
Speaker 1:I want to see it on. It's wild I guess I'll look close up later to see it's wild.
Speaker 3:Wild.
Speaker 1:Except we, yeah, so we're flat I just yeah, I just wanted to like make the eye circles.
Speaker 2:Wow you know, because you know, sometimes we're I'm older, but you know, wow, they're sinking and I wanted this part. They're really flat, okay, good so we'll see how long it lasts.
Speaker 3:Wow, it's so cool um I'll get you some.
Speaker 1:I'll give you a little sweat, a little, uh, like a little strip of it so under eye areas.
Speaker 2:They're back to being popular, being flat. They used to be like voluptuous and stuff like that like in the 70s. They were like you know it's kind of flat. Now it's nice to see like people like no, I want the flat eye line yeah, the flappers there yeah, everybody's flat so other things flap, yeah.
Speaker 1:Um well, let's say, uh, I don't know, should we just go into it? I don't know, do you have anything, um anything exciting going on? Yeah, or like something you want to talk about or anything, I just want to like. I don't want to just cut you off and like interesting okay me.
Speaker 3:What's going on with me? I'm doing a writer's retreat right now. I'm in the middle of a writer's retreat. Yeah, that's. We've been really fun. Where's that in the city um, yeah, we were supposed to do it and then somebody got covid, so then we couldn't do it. We're supposed to do it at this luxury place, but we'll we'll eventually do it there again yeah but so now we're just doing it in our separate places on zoom and that's.
Speaker 3:It's been really fun. What kind of writing? Uh, we just do automatic writing and then we read it to each other.
Speaker 1:Oh that's, and then everybody takes down, uh, an image from it oh and then you write from the image so someone gets your image and then writes, and then you write back from what they perceived from yours yes, yes, yeah, oh, that's really cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, did we talk about the foxy merkins last time I was on? What is it? The foxy merkins, foxy merkins I don't know.
Speaker 1:I love you talking about merkins though it's, it's how we I wrote.
Speaker 3:I wrote a movie called the foxy merkins and it went to sundance and was nominated for independent spirit award. Do you believe it? And I starred in it? That's amazing. Yeah, I played a lesbian hooker. I want to see it. Yeah, it's a. It's a parody of my own private Idaho and um midnight cowboy.
Speaker 1:Oh my God.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so so we play lesbian, lesbian hookers, hustlers, uh, where there's no such thing. So that's why it's really funny. But we play it like it's a real thing and we mostly hook with Republican women. Okay, that don't want anybody to know. That they right. So we meet them outside of Talbots. That's where we hang out outside of talbots, talbots.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, so we hang out outside of talbots and that's where we meet the republican women and some of them try to pay with, give certificates and we're like no, we don't. We don't want to shop there.
Speaker 1:That's genius yeah, this is wetzelel's Pretzels. No, I'm good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:So yeah, so that's how I wrote that movie.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 3:The woman the first time I ever acted, the woman who asked me to act with her. My part just kept getting bigger and bigger, because I was doing improv and it was really fun and I played an alien.
Speaker 1:I can't you have to say alien a lot, because we love the way you say alien, right and I didn't.
Speaker 3:I didn't believe in aliens. Then I I started believing when aliens because of Abraham Hicks. Do you know who Abraham?
Speaker 1:yeah, of course, okay, yeah, so Abraham Hicks is.
Speaker 3:Yeah, of course. Okay, so Abraham Hicks got me believing in aliens and then so, but when I played an alien I didn't believe in them. Yeah, anyway. So after I was in the movie, the director loved working with me and she was like I want to teach you how I write, and because she gets paid a ton of money to teach this writing at Columbia NYU, and so I got to learn it for free and then we wrote the movie and then that went to Sundance.
Speaker 3:It was all magically easy. I never was like I want to be an actor, I want to be a writer, I just wanted to be a comedian. So all that came really easy. I just feel like it's an example of the world. Like when you want something so bad, it's hard to get it, but when you just sort of like, well, we'll see, like then you get exactly, and you have that.
Speaker 1:You have that error about you. Like you know, just a little light just trailing off of you and, like you know, just whipping around like oh yeah, I just got that movie you have that too yeah, definitely, it's a bright light.
Speaker 3:Some people have both. Of you have really light energy. You know how some people have really dark.
Speaker 1:Yes, we don't invite them to these podcasts yeah, I did once and that was a big mistake. Oh man, yeah, we don't talk about him, but anyway. Well, all right. So now that's amazing, okay. So I'm gonna we're trying lately to keep on topic, okay, but you don't talk about him, but anyway, well, all right, now that's amazing, okay, so I'm gonna we're trying lately to keep on topic, okay, but you don't have to be on topic, like if something comes to you, just please talk.
Speaker 1:I'm only telling jackie that because, um, you were uh on a show several shows ago, so since then we're just trying to, like you know oh, okay, yeah people can find, you know.
Speaker 2:Anyways, I don't have to explain to you okay so we're talking about BPA and phthalates.
Speaker 1:I'm sure you've heard of both of those things.
Speaker 3:I haven't no so you can explain them to me Okay, good Well they come in plastics.
Speaker 2:Wait, do you know what they are? I've heard of BPAs and I don't know exactly what they are.
Speaker 1:Feel free to buy the look through my me to look in that direction.
Speaker 2:Yes, okay thank you, wow, we've come a long way all broken. Okay, I can't oh, this is crazy. Yeah, I know you had a promotion so, uh, no, I know bpas, I know what they are in essence and they're a bad for you I don't know exactly what they are. They do with plastics we talked about last week or the week before and they are something that's in, uh, like skincare and they have them for and that's supposed to be there because it's bad for you right um, but you should tell us more about it well, they're hormone disruptors.
Speaker 1:That's what it is. Oh, wow, right, and so the bpa. There's two. The difference I I wrote down with the difference, the main difference between um, bpa and phthalates is that they're the type of plastic that they use. With BPA it's used in harder, you know clear plastics right while the phthalates are used in a more flexible sort of stuff like that. So I'm not sure I can't give you a specific example. I guess like a hard water bottle would probably have.
Speaker 3:Okay, I know bpa now. Okay, I get it. You've heard of like bpa stuff, right?
Speaker 1:yes, and I'm I don't know which one. I think bpa also is lining um a lot of our cans like canned goods.
Speaker 2:Wow, it's everywhere yeah, yeah, all these bottles, like these aluminum bottles, they're all coated with plastic it's so crazy when I got, when I got the cat dishes, they say BPA free on them.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:And which is because you know those are the hard plastics or the clear plastics like water bottles. You know there was, they had them for a while. The soda stream bottles that are very hard, those are BPA free.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's good.
Speaker 2:I don't believe anybody, but yeah, I don't believe anybody they could put anything on a label. I'm like I'm eating it. I'm like this has BPA in it, you know.
Speaker 1:I don't know, it tastes like very B.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's very B grade PA.
Speaker 3:But do you think that the plastic could like be good for our skin?
Speaker 1:Well, like, maybe like to give us a little bit of, like, flexibility. Yeah, or the firmness that we need. Maybe I don't know you can be our guinea pig if you like to test it out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because everybody's always against the plastics and the microplastics, but you're like, no, maybe they could be.
Speaker 3:What if they're good for you?
Speaker 1:Jack is always like it sees the bright side, right. I love that about you.
Speaker 3:I try.
Speaker 1:Did I cut you off?
Speaker 3:Not at all there, you go All right.
Speaker 1:So it's called bisphenol. It's a B of polycarbonate plastics, which is a hard, shatter-resistant plastic. So what happens is it leaches into your food Ew how If it's heated or it's stored in there for long periods of time. Canned goods I think they said one serving of canned soup it's been sitting there with the BPAs is like 11 times the amount of BPA that you're supposed to have in your body.
Speaker 3:Oh, my goodness, I know so the, the soups that come in the cartons, that's better. Yes, is that why they started doing that?
Speaker 1:I don't know but now we know yeah, don't buy anything in plastic if you can avoid it. But now you're saying cans I know even cans, but what do they coat? Coat the carton with.
Speaker 3:Why does the carton not?
Speaker 1:leak, you know what? Now I'm going to have to look into that, because the carton doesn't leak like it should. It should actually.
Speaker 3:It should leak Back in the 70s. It probably would leak after a while. So that would mean our almond milk is in it too.
Speaker 2:I've been telling everybody this is what we should be drinking out of get back to the roots, get back to what you know. You know, just get a handful of water with your hands.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a better idea I think it is.
Speaker 2:You just have to make sure there's no plastic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we think too much alike it's.
Speaker 2:But I used to put my hands in like plastic plastic and then let them dry.
Speaker 1:That's like paraffin actually, which is another thing that's bad for your skin.
Speaker 3:Paraffin, because it's petroleum, yeah.
Speaker 1:Paraffin wax. It has chemicals, oh man. So PVC products and stuff like that. Have the phthalates Skincare really heavy in skincare and beauty products? It's in the skincare and beauty products?
Speaker 3:Yes, why it's in the skincare and beauty products?
Speaker 1:Yes, why? And toys, teethers Not teasers, teethers and other products that people put in their mouths? Because they're all made in China.
Speaker 3:Everything is made in a place where like they kind of don't really care, like because they're going to us. It's going to us, but wait, is this stuff going to them too?
Speaker 1:I don't, yeah, I'm sure I mean I'm sure they don't go to Chinese people.
Speaker 3:Please don't buy this one, no, but maybe they're like the stuff, that they have identical products but don't put the plastic in it. I think so. Oh, maybe send the plastic to us.
Speaker 1:There are countries that are banned, have banned certain chemicals, so I'm wondering if maybe?
Speaker 2:certain dyes and certain cereals that Europe doesn't use, that the US is, you know, just like turning on, the open the faucet of and just right into the stuff yeah, can't you like eat gluten?
Speaker 3:in other countries, like italy, you can't eat the gluten and it doesn't affect you because of the. They say it's because of the pesticides, like the roundup that they put all of our wheat here where's the best place to live to not get the plastics a cave any, any place that has In Sondra's hands sorry, yeah, in my hands.
Speaker 2:In Allstate they have those areas like the Blue Zones or like Loma Linda. I guess those would be the areas you'd probably want to go to.
Speaker 3:I don't want my mother to find out about the Blue. Zones at all I'm like stay away from the Blue Zones.
Speaker 2:I think, ironically, those blue zones are very red, if you know what I mean. Well, one is Sacramento.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, isn't that so weird? It is weird, sacramento.
Speaker 2:Everybody always dogs on Sacramento, just because it's like, you know, sacramento.
Speaker 3:Right, but I guess, yeah, it's just like the name Sac-ramento, yeah.
Speaker 2:Sacramento oh yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Oh, sacramento, sacrament. And then oh yeah, exactly oh, sacrament.
Speaker 2:It reminds me of church sacrament and memento because it's probably, because, yeah, it's very biblical and uh spanish, spanish yeah, yeah, yeah oh yeah, interesting, interesting sacrament don't let my mother know about the blue areas.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2:You live to be 100, yeah oh my god, I wonder what they're doing over there but, but we are gonna live to be older?
Speaker 3:I feel like we are, because we know better right and we look both ways and I think, even if we didn't, like that's just the progression of life. People like like there was a time when people died when they were 30, right like we were gonna die at like 120, I think, plus at our age, we started off without all of this bullshit in our stuff.
Speaker 1:Right, that's true. So we've had the younger people have just been like fed but do you remember like never drinking water um, I remember when, the time when bottled water didn't exist, bottled water didn't exist, yeah, but.
Speaker 3:I feel like all I drank was milk and soda, as a kid, yeah, I never drank water, but remember Laverne and Shirley they mixed it together, soda and milk. Really they did, but I never tried it. I've missed that show so much I know we should bring it back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's bring back that drink. Which one of us is Shirley? Which one of us is Laverne? I think I'm Shirley. Shirley, I could see Shirley and Laverne. Yeah, wait, laverne is Penny Marshall. Yes, I could see Penny Marshall. I'm Penny Marshall and you have the accent too.
Speaker 3:I'm Penny Marshall and I'm Shirley Feeney Woo, oh, carmine.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, I don't remember the show enough to.
Speaker 2:Who played Carmine?
Speaker 1:Some Italian guy.
Speaker 2:Oh, I knew it. I love him With big curly hair, yeah, and he would always run into the room going.
Speaker 1:They went from rags to riches.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, you know how many times.
Speaker 1:I've done that.
Speaker 2:It's like, yeah, it's so funny. It's when your parents love you please do it from now on all the time do it when you open the show. Oh yes, every time I watch Goodfellas that's usually in the back of my head. Carmine, carmine, yeah, carmine no Rags to Riches oh that's right.
Speaker 1:They're doing it in the whatever, I can't think in the movie. Yeah, they're singing that song. Well, I meant like the scenario they're singing it in the club. Well, I meant like the scenario they're singing it in the club, right.
Speaker 2:I think it's when he's like young Henry and he gets the suit on and he goes Dad.
Speaker 1:look at me oh right, the mother goes.
Speaker 2:you look like a gangster, you know.
Speaker 1:It's like emphasizing that he has like a new duds. Yeah, it's. Did you see good fellows? Oh, yeah, lots of times. Did you comedy at this point? Yeah, yeah, so good, all right. So what are phthalates? How do they affect your health? What diseases do they?
Speaker 2:cause? These are all great questions. Can you answer them first?
Speaker 1:well exposure. Exposure to certain phthalates will increase the chances of your children developing allergic reactions like asthma and eczema. So that's, that's a big one, right? And some and a lot of times they'll be like what is causing this reaction in my kid and you take it to a dermatologist and all they do is give you um steroids steroid cream.
Speaker 1:Yeah right, so they always um, and there's a bunch of other stuff, uh, the hormone disruptors that are in the phthalates, um, and that's causing, uh that, what's this thing? They get period. The girls are getting their periods oh my god, yeah and causing male infertility. Oh my god, we're gonna start feeding well the, the male infertility is good right because of the bar, the ban on abortion, oh my god.
Speaker 3:So there is a plus to it. You gotta put it in the beer, yeah. Put it in the beer plastic in. Put it in the beer Plastic in the beer, yeah.
Speaker 2:You know you got to add some BPAs to your beer. Yeah, first we can't have MSG, now we can't have BPA.
Speaker 3:But what don't we want? Wait, we don't want. What's going to happen to the children? They get Alzheimer's.
Speaker 1:All allergies, they get allergies, they get allergies. Yeah, they get allergies, developmentally, though, with their brain and stuff like that. That's awful yeah, and the hormones when your hormones are affected, everything is affected.
Speaker 3:These kids brains are going to be plastic.
Speaker 2:I know that's the last thing we need.
Speaker 3:I know all the microplastics that's the last thing we need is kids with plastic brains, because they're going to be in charge.
Speaker 2:They're gonna be the ones in charge.
Speaker 1:That's when we moved to the blue place, yeah please, sacramento, oh my god, all right. So I looked up to see because those are long-term effects that have been proven and studies have been done. But the cdc says that, uh, they do leave your body.
Speaker 3:Oh, thank.
Speaker 1:God, and they break down, I don't know. I guess they leave some sort of you know effect on you, but apparently you can pee it out within about two days and only a small amount of the compound is still like in your system as it's breaking down into your you know, into your tissues. What a nightmare. But, that's the CDC, that's only the CDC.
Speaker 3:Right, but thank um, what a nightmare.
Speaker 1:but that's the cdc, that's only the cdc, right, but thank god it doesn't stay, but parts of it stay. I I mean, why would it cause long-term effects, right, if it's not? If you're just peeing it out like it should see. That's what we were kind of told you know. It's like you know you're just gonna pee everything out right, but your body doesn't forget, no, it stores all of the bullshit, don't? I know it by the way, if you have any songs that come out, my body doesn't forget.
Speaker 3:When I ate plastic, it's like it wakes me up in the middle of night hey, hey, I'm like what?
Speaker 3:remember when you ate that thing, it was covered in plastic. I'm like don't remind me, but I can't forget. I can't forget. Why should I be suffering by myself? That's what my body says to me. Yeah, do you know that our bodies are separate? Like our bodies are separate, we know they're separate from our souls. Yeah, we know that, but they're like separate, like they're parts of the earth. They're very separate from us. I don't know how to explain it. They have their own soul. The body has its own soul. Yes, Interesting.
Speaker 2:Separate from us Because it's alive on its own or conscious? Yes, what's the word Cognizant?
Speaker 3:It's consciousness separate from our consciousness. Whoa.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's a scary movie yeah.
Speaker 3:And that's why it decomposes and goes into the ground or whatever form it goes into. Oh wow, but it's separate from us. I want to read about that. That's really true. I think we need to talk. That's why, if we talk to ourselves because we have 37 trillion cells if we talk to them and are nice to them Mm-hmm. It's so funny, because I have friends that get sick and I talk to their cells, I'm like I don't care if you believe me or not, just open your mouth. Let me talk to your cells and I talk to them and they always are better, they always get better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because it's like a blessing. Yeah, and your body is listening. You know you're right, yeah, I wonder if each one of your cells has a little soul.
Speaker 3:I think so. I definitely think so, wow, and so so, all when we talk to our body, I think it's important for us to talk to our body Absolutely, because it wants attention, and you know what it doesn't want Plastic it doesn't want plastic.
Speaker 1:It really doesn't yeah, it really doesn't no yeah, oh my god, yeah, it causes obesity also, and oh my god, that's what's happening to me I'm looking at you and that's physically impossible so stop it, plastic it's mostly yes, uh, in school children, um, that they're saying're saying that it causes that.
Speaker 3:I'm trying to look at all the other things, those little honey hams.
Speaker 2:Well, you know what they say those schools will teach you. Don't teach those kids because they're giving them plastic.
Speaker 1:But is there a way to detect if your food has plastic in it At the end? I don't think. I don't know. That's a good question. I don't know. You can have your own home test, but there are, um either it's an app or like you know places where you can look to see which products have those in them and to avoid them, right, um, and then you know also they can give you suggestions of like what to use instead.
Speaker 1:That's great right so this is the plus side. I'm gonna end on this is so important.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it'd be funny to go out to eat and be like is there plastic in this what's?
Speaker 2:your level on plastic.
Speaker 3:They're like how's everything I'm like I could use not plastic I could use there not to be so much plastic in this.
Speaker 1:I asked for my microplastic on the side, but apparently yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Do you think that at vegan places there's less plastic? Probably Right, I would think so. There's really none at vegan places. I don't know about that. Oh, that's true.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 3:There might be more, because they're trying to make food, that is, meat, out of plastic. Oh right, yeah.
Speaker 1:And it's sitting in plastic. Yeah, anything that's fat too will leach the B? Bpas and all the bad shit out of the plastic. So like when you go to the deli and they wrap your food in plastic. It's bad in europe, they put it in paper, and that's why europe is so much better. Well, this is what we're learning let's get out of here and go to europe, give your car.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I do we'll open a a comedy club. Skincare, I like that.
Speaker 2:No plastic joint, no plastic joint. Yeah, all the chairs are made out of metal, everything's metal.
Speaker 3:Metal, everything's metal.
Speaker 2:And rusted.
Speaker 1:All right, I wanted to talk about. This is super weird, okay.
Speaker 2:Oh yay, there was a study on worms and BPA, okay.
Speaker 1:So it works. We just talked about that. It's an endocrine disruptor and it causes cellular oxidative stress, right? So the study is let's see here. Oh, okay, so the two studies were they gave the BPA to the worms on both ends, but they gave CoQ10 to one of them and not the other one. I don't know why they're testing on worms, because last week we were talking about a test on flies, which is so weird.
Speaker 3:I think they're just trying not to test on animals anymore.
Speaker 1:I guess that's good yeah, but it turned out that the ones that were given CoQ10 had lower cell death rates. Oh wow, yeah, lower egg cell death rates and less DNA deformities, because it affects your DNA. Right, wow, so you're changing yourself when you put that stuff in your body, but the CoQ10, apparently so.
Speaker 3:The CoQ10 negates it yeah.
Speaker 1:Maybe it dissolves it a little bit. It's an antioxidant, so it's definitely going to protect from like oxidative stress. You know, yeah, but um, I don't really know. I don't know if they know why, right, but that's a good thing to have yeah, just in general.
Speaker 3:We need more of that. Is that in the tape?
Speaker 1:no, but the tape is made out of silicone, which is not plastic. Silicone's the best. Yeah, silicone is amazing. Yes, more silica. We have silicone straws excellent. Um. So what is coq10? It is, uh, let's see. It's produced. It's a natural thing that's produced by the human in our body. Yeah, we already have it, but, um, and you can get it from things like fish, um seed oils, meat, um different vegetables and things like that, but there's probably not enough of it to like right.
Speaker 1:I think you would want to make you know get a supplement?
Speaker 3:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2:That's interesting. I didn't know I did that. I know like you could. Coq10 was always like touted for, like being good for the heart and everything, so maybe that's also part of it. Is just, you know, free radicals.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the free radicals. Yeah, exactly, you know free radicals or antioxidants. Yeah, exactly, yeah, it sounds cool the free radicals. Yeah, yeah, free radicals does sound cool, a cool band.
Speaker 3:Free the radicals. I can't tell if it's the radical part. Let the radicals out. Let the radicals out.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, that's a perfect antioxidant. That's like a nice central commercial, yeah.
Speaker 1:And then, yeah, yeah, sales pitch, oh my god. Um, okay, so there's other ways that you can detox your body, right? So you're going to get rid of it by doing some exercise. Some sweating will help. Um, eating healthy, obviously, you know, the more fresh foods that you're eating, the more organic stuff, the less processed.
Speaker 3:Processed stuff has all of the bad stuff in it. Yeah, and that's what they don't have in italy, right? Don't they not have processed?
Speaker 1:they do but it's not as I don't think, it's just it's not as prevalent and it's probably not as bad they definitely have it in sacramento.
Speaker 2:Yes, the mcdonald's in italy actually tastes really good.
Speaker 3:Yeah even the mayonnaise is good in italy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so crazy um, stay hydrated of fluids. Obviously we're supposed to do that. Eating fiber, apparently. I mean, it just seems like everything is like pushing it out of your body. Yeah, you know, things are like. You know apples, which actually are also prebiotics. And then you can also avoid the PVC and vinyl products. We have a vinyl curtain, by the way, in our bedroom.
Speaker 2:A vinyl curtain Yep and also PVC is typically the pipe used to pump water into our house.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, we can't get away from it. All the plumbing.
Speaker 2:we have everything, so it's just best to just say a prayer.
Speaker 3:Do you think that the piping is not in Sacramento or Italy?
Speaker 1:Maybe Not in Italy. It's not in Italy? I'm guessing it's not in Italy. Yeah, I think there's probably all copper or something Because you can drink out of the fountains in Italy in a lot of places. No way you can drink right out of the tap. You'll get groped by every Italian, but you can drink out of the fountain. Have you been over to get a?
Speaker 2:glass of water?
Speaker 1:Yeah, who are you? And also the women too.
Speaker 3:You get groped. Hey, grab that guy's prostate. What, when? Uh I sorry to go off on a tangent, but I I had a friend and we were in the mall one time this is years ago and we were daring each other stuff and she dared me to eat drink out of the fountain, the big fountain, not like, oh my god, the fountain like the coins in it yeah, yeah, I was like no problem, I'm like, and I went up and it burned, like my mouth burned for a long time, oh, and I didn't even drink from it, I just put my lips in it and it burned right away.
Speaker 3:It must have just been bleach, but then I had her eat like a big thing of wasabi. I didn't think she would do it. Her face turned be red. Oh, my god, she's going to die, oh you had her eat the wasabi.
Speaker 1:That's amazing.
Speaker 3:Good for you.
Speaker 1:She sweated out all of her BBAs.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly, I did her a favor.
Speaker 1:Where I had pure poison. Oh my God, that's so terrible. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3:I just didn't think of it. I didn't. I thought it was going to be something easy I'm going to get my lips bleached.
Speaker 2:Why? Why are you doing this?
Speaker 3:Most people do their thought, but you can drink the but you, you didn't mean those fountains in Italy, these fountains in Italy, the fountain yeah, the water fountain, not the ones that you throw your coins in.
Speaker 1:There's like a spigot. Even in place you can fill up your bottles and it's good water.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's great.
Speaker 1:It's probably got minerals in it too. Italy.
Speaker 2:Ancient water. That water's been waiting around for a long time.
Speaker 3:I thought the only reason. She thought that she long time.
Speaker 2:I thought the only reason she thought that I, she thought I would be embarrassed to drink from the fountain. I didn't think that it was.
Speaker 3:She didn't know you very well, yeah, and little did she know, little did I know. She knew that it was poison. Oh my god.
Speaker 2:And if I knew it was poison I wouldn't have done it obviously, but then you survived, I did, and then she had to take the dare on the other okay, a big chunk of it yeah that's, that's worse, I think yeah because like that's, that's a lot of like, that's like really hot it looks, yeah it looks painful her face.
Speaker 1:It was red, wow, oh my god. I bet you though that is good for you in some way and that's probably why they put it in there is to kill the parasites that are in the fish.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Mexicans use jalapenos for the same thing, but it doesn't kill the item in the fish that kills the plastic in your body. Wait, say that again, because you said in fish they have that awesome component that kills the plastic in your body.
Speaker 1:Oh, right, but then fish is filled with mercury too, so oh yeah we can't win.
Speaker 3:I know we can't win, but we can try, we can try, we can try we're gonna have our own fish farm.
Speaker 1:No way.
Speaker 3:No, yeah, you're right, no way imagine if you tried to like grow salmon and tuna in your house oh my god, go pick out the one you like. Jackie, like instead of goldfish. You're like where's the tuna, where's the salmon? You guys have trout trout.
Speaker 2:No, we don't have fresh water here come in three months, I'll make you a tuna salad it's not big enough yet.
Speaker 1:Oh my god alright, so caring for your skin is another way. Dry brushing is good. We've done an episode on dry brushing. It's pretty much everything you know Epsom salt baths are really good to dry, I do that a lot you do.
Speaker 1:What do you do Like after you're sore or Just every once in a while I do it. And you get the magnesium, it feels good. Yeah, and you can go to the korean spas and get scrubbed. Yes, yeah, oh my god, and that do they do. They have like um in their water, I guess. I think in some of the springs they have mineral stuff, but I I don't know if they have the magnesium.
Speaker 3:I mean I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. We can ask them, we can ask them and they can lie to us I'm not gonna continue with that okay what were you gonna say?
Speaker 2:I was gonna say those like those like natural, uh thermal baths or whatever, like the sulfur springs and stuff like that, are those some things like your body like is that kind of similar to what having like the magnesium and maybe in a different way.
Speaker 1:Sulfur is like very um, obviously it's on the. You know it's what's the opposite of acidic.
Speaker 2:Alkaline Alkaline.
Speaker 1:Right. So I think that sulfur is very alkaline and so that's why people go sit in those waters. Right and I think there probably are minerals if you go to the natural ones Right. You know, there's just coming off the rocks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's great it. It smells like farts, so it has to be beneficial.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's how you know it's good, it's the earth it is. Yeah, it really is All of it, yeah.
Speaker 2:The earth loves gas.
Speaker 3:That's what the La Brea Tar Pits are. Oh, that's right, that's the anus of the earth. Actually, the root chakra of the earth is at Mount Shasta. I just did a show on mount chasta. Really tell it's the root chakra. Why is it the root chakra?
Speaker 1:I don't know, that's what they say but it's a volcano mount chasta is a volcano, so it's the root chakra and I felt my root chakra cleared this is uh like around your, like your pelvis area, pelvic hole, yeah, area I will be a butthole.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's the root chakra. Yeah, I am rooted through my butthole.
Speaker 1:That's the root chakra.
Speaker 2:I am rooted through my butthole. Is that like the vortex in Sedona?
Speaker 3:Yes, I've been to both. I have to say, manchester felt more clear than I did at Sedona. I love both, for sure Sedona's been like.
Speaker 1:I love Sedona, it's so beautiful, but there's just so many people.
Speaker 3:And that's what I thought. I was afraid that Mount Shasta was going to be built up like that in touristy, but it wasn't, oh nice.
Speaker 1:It was really nice. Yeah, you don't hear about it as much.
Speaker 2:Yeah, people have to go to Mount Shasta to clear their blood chakra going to.
Speaker 3:Sedona which is clogged yeah yeah, that's interesting that area is.
Speaker 2:Wait, mount shasta is, uh, it's in california. Yeah, that's in northern california.
Speaker 1:Yes, oh, wow, okay, cool wait, didn't we do a show in mount shasta?
Speaker 2:we did a show at mount baldy that's right during the summer, going up a ski lift in the summer, which is just terrifying. It's just just just a mountain behind.
Speaker 1:We went up a ski lift, just like danglingling with no snow, then I dropped my glove and Sandra goes, don't try to get it In my mind.
Speaker 3:I'm like don't go after it. She's going to jump down and go for the glove. That's so sweet. He loves you so much.
Speaker 2:I just didn't want to be alone. I just didn't, because then I'd have to go after you, but also I love you so much.
Speaker 3:Aww, so sweet. I still miss my glove.
Speaker 2:I know that's a nice glove if. Oj would have just gone on the Mount Baldy ride he could have lost those gloves. What an idiot fool. I'll tell him when I.
Speaker 3:No, I can't he could, ouija board it to him because he's dead. Oh, that's right, oj is dead and he's not coming back. Hello, hello, oj is gone.
Speaker 2:Those are the best rental car commercials ever though. Oh for sure Hurts it was just hurtling Hurts.
Speaker 1:You don't have to rent a car, though, if you can run that fast.
Speaker 2:That's right. Yeah, he lied to us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, you run that fast, you can run that fast for that long 300 miles yeah, why was he in that? Bronco, he should have been running right, oh my god, oh man that's amazing athletes lie to us, I know all right, so good news is um what's the good news?
Speaker 2:some?
Speaker 1:companies have eliminated some of the phthalates in their products, like home depot and lowe. Some companies have eliminated some of the phthalates in their products. Wow, home Depot and Lowe's what yeah? Has removed some of the phthalates from most of their vinyl flooring in 2015.
Speaker 3:No way, that's great, so that's really cool. Wait, the vinyl flooring that they sell or the vinyl flooring on their premises? I probably think that they sell.
Speaker 2:That's a good question, though that's a very litigious question. Yes, it's a very like what do?
Speaker 1:you mean, I bet it's that they sell. Yeah, I would think so, because, yeah, we can ask them when we go there. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, I just work here, I don't know they don't even know the department that they're in usually what's going on.
Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that's interesting that they would eliminate that. I know that certain like plumbing and stuff like that. They've tried to minimize that so that you know we don't get into our bodies.
Speaker 1:If a big company like Home Depot is doing that, it's bad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's really bad.
Speaker 3:They don't want to be sued. I mean, it's probably something like that. And that's a big quantity to have it all over your floor.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and you're breathing it. You're breathing all of that stuff oh my goodness, apple phased out phthalates from their earbuds and their power cords in 2013. So that was cool. Wow, no way.
Speaker 3:And Apple another huge company.
Speaker 1:I'm not sticking phthalates in my ears apparently.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:Just the cellular waves going right into my brain.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're totally fine. Right, those are healthy. They don't put phthalates in, uh, the waves and into like the x-rays and whatnot, so we're good okay, um, many cosmetics are now, they will say, phthalate free, um, so look for that.
Speaker 1:And then, um, like I was saying, there's a couple places, there's an app called, uh, where is it skin something? First of all, you could go to the ewg website. It's a database that has, like you know, all the different products that are natural and the ones that you wanted to avoid um, and that gives you a lot of information that, and that's uh, they have to really actually have to like. Remember, robin she you have to like, if you're making a product like, they go through a very, very like, serious like investigation to see like what is in your product.
Speaker 2:That's great.
Speaker 1:It's nice to know it's there For products.
Speaker 2:For products.
Speaker 1:It's in the products, yeah we want to see the products.
Speaker 2:Each one it's productive.
Speaker 1:Did I take acid? I forgot, no, you didn't. Think Dirty is an app that you can use oh wow, yeah, and it gives you easy to understand uh info on the products ingredients and then you can helps you to shop for cleaner options.
Speaker 3:That's great so that's really cool to know and then it gives you a good direction.
Speaker 1:Think dirty, that's yeah, yeah, I'm gonna download just just for the name. Yeah, think dirty, they should sponsor you. You should sponsor. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, I think everybody should sponsor me. Yeah, I think dirty please sponsor.
Speaker 2:Yes, if you're listening. Yeah, we are against all of the big corporations that put phthalates and things until they sponsor us yes, oh, that's a good yeah.
Speaker 1:Probably won't really happen, but we're probably sitting this. All of these blankets are probably covered in phthalates actually.
Speaker 3:No, well, they're from amazon oh and they're just like synthetic don't put them in your mouth. I try not to, yeah don't lick them no, yeah, just think about blankets.
Speaker 2:eventually, you want to cuddle up with them, yeah.
Speaker 1:I always have one very close to my mouth when I'm sleeping.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I know and I'm I don't know what do you do?
Speaker 2:What do you do I?
Speaker 1:can't. At the moment I don't have the. I don't want to say I can't justify spending money on 100% organic linen cotton all of your bedding, all of your blankets, all of your clothes. You know what I mean. You have to really just go through your whole house and just throw everything out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would like to find a nice pair of linen shoes. Wow, I think they'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 1:Tom's probably makes them. Do they have that yeah?
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they look stupid.
Speaker 3:They do look stupid, oh wow, very, very.
Speaker 2:I'm not a fan of Tom's they have new shoes, though Do they, they're not the same stupid shoes.
Speaker 3:They have new ones. What do they look like? I don't know, but I remember seeing an ad for them and being like, oh, they have shoes different than that. I'm never like. Oh, I like your shoes and they're like they're Tom's no one's ever said that before You're right, they're Tom's. They usually never heard before they usually be like they're Tom's yeah.
Speaker 2:My neighbor Tom, let me borrow them. Yeah, they're never actually the brand. Yeah, that's really funny.
Speaker 1:And there's no protection in those shoes either.
Speaker 3:Right, they're wild.
Speaker 1:But they did give shoes to that was a good idea.
Speaker 3:Yes, that was a good idea that they had. Maybe they were like these shoes suck. Let's pretend that we're giving them to other people that need them.
Speaker 2:See, my thing with that whole thing is like, if I buy a pair of shoes and then they give somebody else in need a pair of shoes, just give them the shoes. What do you have to wait for me to buy, right? What kind of game is this?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a weird game. It is a weird game I don't like that.
Speaker 2:So I don't want to buy anything for anybody, right? So I'm just not going to buy anything.
Speaker 3:Just make it out of stuff without plastic.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:No more plastic, no more plastic.
Speaker 1:How are we going to do this? We have to move into like a commune in the blue place.

Speaker 2:No, I can't use scotch tape for the same thing. No, Scotch tape. How about electrical tape?
Speaker 1:Electrical tape. Oh my.
Speaker 2:God, that's not going to work.
Speaker 1:we just pull off all of your skin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, actually the table ended like it ends up getting like super, like greasy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, hey, imagine if it ends up being really good for you yeah but even though it's covered in plastic, oh yeah right, oh yeah, that's right I think all the tapes are plastic right, except silicone, except the silicone tape what about our credit cards?
Speaker 2:our credit cards are killing us. Oh my god all the plastic in the credit cards. Yikes, that's what put. That's what's putting me in debt.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh my god please can we do a prank call where you call the bank and you're like I want a phthalate free credit card. This is what's wrong with my credit this is what's wrong with my debt. Yeah, my score keeps going down because of the phthalates be like if you get me a car without the phthalates, I'll start paying my debts.
Speaker 2:Send me a 100% cotton ATM card or I'm leaving, yeah. I think it'll work.
Speaker 3:This is interesting.
Speaker 2:I can't believe that, like it really makes you want to question everything. Yeah, but you can't, at least for me. I can't look at it.
Speaker 3:Because then I'm like I can't you can't, at least for me.
Speaker 2:I can't look at it, because then I'm like I can't, you can't do anything about it's so monumental? Yeah, because it's ingrained. You know, it's like someone saying that you know, like, uh, the hair on your skin is bad for you. All of a sudden you're like but it's, it's a part of me I have no, I have no choice it's still gonna grow you know, laser it off. Yeah, yeah, I can't afford the laser, I won't. No, I need an organic laser. And then, yeah, there's no organic lasers.
Speaker 3:What you could do is combat everything with love energy. Okay, see, that's why we brought you here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so combat it all.
Speaker 3:Yeah, talking back to yourself, yeah yes, talking to yourselves about love, energy, be like ignore that plastic, let it just go through. And, yeah, just keep keep thinking good thoughts and, uh, putting love first. Yeah, instead of fear. If we're fearing the plastic all the time, we're gonna see it everywhere and fearing it while you're consuming anything. Fear while consuming anything is gonna make it worse, so I'll be like I don't know what's in this cells, but we're gonna fill it with love and then drink it bless the food yeah yeah, you bless, it bless it all I used to think that was so corny when I was growing up same and now it's like now I get it now I get it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that I can give myself a stomachache just by thinking something so if that's here, it's just like you're talking, your body's reacting, so we definitely shouldn't use plastic forks and knives? No, and that's my favorite to use plastic forks Because I don't like the metal Me too, plus I like it, feels like I'm.
Speaker 1:What did you say?
Speaker 2:It feels like you're going for, like takeout and it's like a you know, like a special thing or whatever feels like you're going for, like takeout and it's like a, you know, like a special thing or whatever, I don't know.
Speaker 3:A special fork, yeah, like it's. Oh, I just like them, not metal, yeah, but uh, that's why, uh, chopsticks are I was just gonna say I know a girl that used to use chopsticks.
Speaker 1:Yeah, chopsticks are great and you eat less. Yeah, true, it's very, very like you have to be very conscious of what you're how do I eat ice cream with chopsticks?
Speaker 3:I?
Speaker 1:guess, guess you can, you can, yeah, it was solid enough, and then you will eat less, that's true.
Speaker 3:You'll get pissed though. Yeah, after a while you get pissed. You'll just end up drinking it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Out of a plastic straw. Yeah, yeah, hopefully not.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:Yeah. Silicone straws are good Plastic's not only. It's bad for us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. And if you're going to do Coke, it's probably actually more healthy for you to use a dollar bill than a plastic straw. Ironically, that dollar bill is disgusting, so.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I wonder what's worse. They should do a myth busters.
Speaker 2:Strong or dollar bill. What came out of that? What came?
Speaker 3:off of the dollar.
Speaker 1:Chest or feces. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:What's worse, the feces in the brain or I?
Speaker 2:got phthalates on the brain? Well, hopefully not.
Speaker 3:I got phthalates on the brain. We all do now. Yeah, we have phthalates on the brain. If you did coke with a straw, you got phthalates on the brain. Who did coke with a straw? You got the lights on the brain. Who did coke with a straw? I got the lights on the brain. I did a lot of coke with a straw. I'm sober now, but I did a lot of coke with a straw.
Speaker 3:When was the last time you did coke Gosh, probably 2015. Wow, that's a long time. Yeah, I did a lot of it, though, so that's good, really Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:So you got it all in and out of your system. I never got addicted though.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean I did have a problem in that I only dated people that did coke, but I was never the one that was like I need to get coke. I never was. But they were yeah they, they were, they were like let's get coke.
Speaker 1:And I'd be like, okay, I never thought about it, but okay.
Speaker 2:I have friends that have the mentality which is like do drugs, don't have drugs. It's like that kind of thing, where it's like don't just you know I need this, but just like you do it, and if you have it cool, if not, whatever Right, because then you know. Then it's not like really you're jonesing for it.
Speaker 1:I think it's just an excuse to do all the drugs at once. Yeah, right, and then follow with.
Speaker 2:The thing is after you do it, don't beat yourself up about it. That's my favorite.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:Just forgive yourself, forgive yourself real quickly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you're like, though, about everything right, totally, I did that with ice cream. Yeah, I'll sell nikki. I'm like you know what, nikki, I'm not gonna make myself feel bad about it. Nikki's like yeah, that's what drug drug uh yeah, I'm gonna eat all the ice cream. There'll be no more ice cream in the house and I'll start over again that's a whole other show.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like he would get so happy. Just his mood. He would go from a bad mood to like the best mood in the world, like he, just because his coke dealer just called him back. If he knew he's going to 7-eleven to get a pint of oh, that's so funny.
Speaker 2:I didn't know. I didn't know it was all the phthalates that were just coating I did that in the ice cream container.
Speaker 1:Maybe there's definitely something coating the the carton yeah, and it's fat so it could be be leeching in there, yikes, and.
Speaker 2:And it's cold, so it's only getting to my system after I warm it up. That's true.
