Speaker 2:Thank you?
Speaker 1:Did you put the stuff in it for the Guido thing today? No, oh, okay, no.
Speaker 2:What it is is. I think it's moist enough because with the air or whatever, I washed it and then I put that mask that puts some moisture on it. Oh okay, put some moisture on it and then I just kind of scrunched it, so it actually folds the gray hair into itself.
Speaker 2:I was going to say I don't see much of the gray. What do you look like, babe? Thanks, I've been trying to fool people my entire life. No, but yeah, I feel I feel good. I really don't look in the mirror anymore. There's so many times I leave the house, like doing deliveries or whatever, and I'll walk out and my hair's like this I have a giant, it looks like it's complete like this and all the hair's like I thought you knew. No, I don't know. And I just walk in and I think maybe people are like wow, that guy's really confident and it's like I just ignorant or just really poor, just really poor.
Speaker 1:That's either one's cool, whatever gets you the most tips.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think the situation you know and engage in less small talk. Yeah, what are you delivering food? Uh, errands people. I've delivered spirituality to a lot of people in the form of uh, tacos, gavilan and uh from bossa nova. You know, just regular places. I don't actually work for any company, I just show. I just show up and just randomly pick up food from places that are, or, and I just hand them out, make a guess I hand them out.
Speaker 2:It cost me tons of money in gas, yeah, and electricity and um yeah, but it passes the time and I'm gonna be, uh, evicted from my apartment soon it sounds fun yeah, but I'm not no, you're not no, I'm not. We're not putting that out there, not putting that universe, no, not even joking.

Speaker 2:I'm excited, but also the thing is that like, oh, here's the thing. So I'm on meds, right, I'm looking at the camera. There's no cameras here but.
Speaker 2:I'm on meds but at the same time, like every once in a while, I feel like I'll get like almost like a little bit of like anxiety. But it's not anxiety, it's like kind of excitement. So I start talking faster, um, but I don't feel. That's what it is. No, I'm sorry, I don't feel the anxiety. I don't feel anything physical of like rapid you know whatever I feel good, I just happen to notice that I'm talking faster that's called mania.

Speaker 1:He just yawned and my heart just broke.
Speaker 3:He's so cute and he rides motorcycles. He does, yeah, so he's got doggles and leather jackets and he rides in a pink backpack right here.
Speaker 1:Stop it. Oh my god, that's so cute. That's so cool. He doesn't look like a motorcycle dog, he looks like. You know He'd be a little fragile, but I like that he's got a little tough side to him, yeah he's wiry, he's wiry yeah. Where do you put him on the bike?
Speaker 3:A backpack with his little head sticking out and it'd go in the front or the back, so depending on the mood, you know.
Speaker 1:I have stickers I'll give you guys. Oh yeah, I, oh yeah, I know we got to make stickers too, by the way. It's on the water bottle. Oh yeah, show.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's awesome. Can you get that out? That's adorable.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you got it. Yeah, that's freaking adorable. Yeah, I want one of those.
Speaker 2:And he's just cool with having them on, or is it kind of like a fussy thing?
Speaker 3:No, he just wants to be with me.
Speaker 1:So yeah, such a little sweet baby, thanks, thanks for letting me bring him. Of course I'm always, if anyone can bring an animal, I definitely welcome it. So, oh yeah. So tell me, I did want to hear about your show a little bit. I'm not just saying that because you're on a podcast, but I'm very curious. I am actually curious as opposed to other people, and I'm not curious.
Speaker 3:That's the awesome thing about motorcycles is nobody hears like bike and they're like boo, you know they're like oh, that's cool yeah if they don't get it, it's cool universally, definitely. Um yeah. So I have a harley. It's got pink flames on it did you drive it here? Um no, I actually. Well, I was volunteering in burbank and I got stuck over there feeding the homeless and so I rushed over here in my car.
Speaker 2:So you're a good person. Shameless plug for myself being how dare you make other people feel nice and talk about it? All right, that's, that's just lame. It's like it's like uh it's like uh, some people like name dropping when you're just like you're dropping, like it's like you're shaming me, it's like shame dropping yeah, shame dropping.
Speaker 1:Oh, I like that everybody else around you feels like shit but that's cool so you're doing good, yes, so I took the car over here with Chopper.
Speaker 3:But, yeah, I have two motorcycles. I have a dirt bike, so I recently got into that. That's awesome, so fun. And then the Harley. And so we had the pandemic, and then all the strikes, and so I had all this free time and I was like I really want to do something, missing an aspect. So then I decided to do it for charity, and so, um, chopper was rescued, um, from Bakersfield with a hundred other dogs.
Speaker 1:If you're in Bakersfield, you definitely need to be rescued.
Speaker 3:They like don't believe. I heard it called Baker Tucky yeah. And I was like oh tucky yeah and I was like oh, that makes sense, yeah, um, and so wagmore pets goes in and grabbed all the dogs and got them adopted, and chopper was one of them and so, yeah, during that time I was like how can I give back? And I love him, so that's so we raised a bunch of money for his dog rescue.
Speaker 3:And then that's how it started. We filmed it. Every day was an episode and I went and I pitched it to tv networks and I was so excited and everyone was like this sucks, we don't want it and so I was like great, I'll put it on youtube that's how I got my own show that's so cool yeah but yeah, they did the whole thing, where they're like oh, this is fun, but you're not famous enough to have your own show and you're a woman, so we hate you and I've heard that before they'll put it on youtube and ask for sponsorship money.
Speaker 3:So that's what we did.
Speaker 1:And so how long did it take before you started to pick up?
Speaker 3:I don't even know if it's still really picking up, but I've been doing it for a year. We just did our second trip. We rode up the California coast to the Bee Brine Preserve, which is an African hoofstock animal conservation place. Anyway, you have to go. They do giraffe painting, which sounds crazy, but they have all these African animals and then they do a lot of medical training so that the veterinarians can like check them, and so they've been able to do this thing where the giraffes stick out their tongue for this tennis ball, and originally it's for medical stuff. But now they attach a paintbrush with paint so you can paint with giraffes. It's just, it's so wild. It's very like Jurassic Park, but not scary. Jurassic Park, yes.
Speaker 1:That's brilliant. How did you guys not say that already? I know Alex is giving me the look yeah, that was nice.
Speaker 3:I'm going to steal that yeah, please do. I don't want it anymore.
Speaker 2:We had a giraffe at our charity event A giraffe, perfect, yeah, we did I love that, but yeah.
Speaker 3:So then this year we're raising money for them and um yeah, it's really fun.
Speaker 2:It's really cool Animals motorcycles, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I like to combine them both together. Like no one's there's. Very few people can be like oh, I went giraffe painting. It's like, first of all, what it's like. Oh, no, I went, there's a comedy festival.
Speaker 1:I think it's called um just for drafts just for drafts.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just for laughs. Yeah, I don't know your apartment, I got off topic. Yeah, your apartment manager's calling this is a live podcast oh god, yeah, oh, she is calling.
Speaker 1:I'm not answering.
Speaker 3:No, you're fine, yeah she heard the eviction joke she did.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's right, that's oh nice. Callback boom. Thank you, the callbacks I get are just well, they're usually just the jokes that I talk about again. Yeah, it's never like the phone call. No, we'd love you to come in and say that joke again.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah um okay, cool, well, oh. So I wanted to mention this. Um. When cody and I spoke, it was very briefly, um, through text I don't know if it's speaking. Can you say speaking when you're?
Speaker 2:talking.
Speaker 1:Reading.
Speaker 1:Reading yeah, when we were reading each other's words. Um, for some reason I got her, I think I booked you and another person through Tammy Jo at the same time and so I thought Cody had, um, like a jaw, like a lot of people have, tmj, and part of what I do is work out that stuff in the jaw. So I was like, dude, I can totally do that, even though we don't always talk about that, you know, in on the podcast. Um, well, it turns out she's not the one, so so she was like I don't know what you're talking about Um.
Speaker 3:you can still stick your fingers in my mouth if you want, though. Oh, that's an interesting.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I could probably do that. I definitely brought gloves, but I am going to show you started using new gloves.
Speaker 2:I want everybody to know Nikki. She was always reusing stuff because she had an immigrant background.
Speaker 1:I just turned them inside out.
Speaker 2:And turned them inside.
Speaker 3:I'm going to lose my license right now, I think they just canceled me.
Speaker 1:Stay bored I think they just canceled me. Stay bored.
Speaker 3:You could just put condoms on each of your fingers, oh, yeah, oh perfect Finger condoms.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I like that Finger cots, remember those.
Speaker 1:It's the same thing, isn't it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm saying like they call them finger cots.
Speaker 1:We call them finger condoms in California.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I thought you were going to say elementary school ask yeah, yeah, um, so, anyway.
Speaker 1:So today's episode is about by the way, I should say, that is, releasing jaw tension, and we're going to look at two different aspects of it. Mainly, we're going to focus on myofascial release, and that's a more gentle way of if I was on a motorcycle, I'd be having jaw and tmj that's a really, I would definitely be like, especially because I'm not used to it. So, yeah, I brought it around you'd be, I'd be white it and like going like this, yeah, do you get nervous when you're driving?
Speaker 3:Um no, not anymore. In the beginning for sure, but it's kind of like everything around you slows down when you're doing kind of high adrenaline activities.
Speaker 1:I think. So it is high adrenaline for you though. Yeah, definitely that's pretty cool yeah.
Speaker 3:What about the um the? You do a lot of dirt biking, yeah, like jumps and things like that. Yeah, I was in colorado like riding around the mountains.
Speaker 1:And yeah, all over, dude, where are you going? Sandra just crawled out of the room.
Speaker 2:I don't want to bug the thing you're, you're, you're manager called again maybe something's wrong, all right, all right, just find out, yeah, anyways maybe you're booking a really big gig right now through my man, through my built.
Speaker 1:No, it's a building manager.
Speaker 3:Oh, building manager. I hear manager and I think a booking manager.
Speaker 1:I wish yeah, oh, my God, yeah, she's not going to help me at all in this business.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she was on an episode of Laverne and Shirley.
Speaker 1:I will say that, oh, that's cool. Yeah, that was in. Like what 1978? That sounds right. What'd she goes hold on.
Speaker 2:Sorry, crossing Call please. Printer problem.
Speaker 1:Oh, jesus Christ, it's always that.
Speaker 2:She called you three times 911. Printer problem. Copy that.
Speaker 1:Oh, that was good, I missed it Paste this. Okay, so all right. So that's out of the way, do you?
Speaker 2:want to call her and talk to her on the phone on the podcast.
Speaker 1:No, okay, good not right now, it wouldn't be, it would be funny. But I just I'm, I think it's gonna, uh, it's gonna ruin our flow here. I got you yeah, don't you think?
Speaker 2:plus she's gonna have printers in my head and I hate printers. I've had one computer and 50 printers. It's not me it's the printers yeah so okay, yeah, sorry, you started sweating a little bit. I'm noticing. Well, I I had to walk five feet, I walked, I had to walk five feet and it just happened.
Speaker 1:And printers don't even get me started uh, all right, so we're gonna talk about some self-massage um if you do tend to get um, you seem like a very relaxed person for somebody who's you know riding around on motorcycles all the time with your dog. Yeah, but that would make me very stressed out, but a lot of people do have like TMJ. They've got this. The person I spoke to said that she actually had muscle buildup in her jaw so she had had to do Botox.
Speaker 1:Same like with Sarah Lawrence she had the same thing, and so I actually work on a few of the people that I brought in. I also have them as clients and then I get into their mouth and I physically get into um the muscles, like the masseter, which is your strongest muscle in your body. So I don't know if you knew that I did not, and uh, yeah, so you could like. You could probably drag something, I guess, if your teeth didn't fall out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like I guess, if your teeth didn't fall out Draxelian.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like I think you can like hang from stuff.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I was thinking, like an alligator has like a really like strong bite.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think, yeah, I don't know if they have, do they have muscle tissue? They must right.
Speaker 2:Alligators yeah, I guess it's just like different than ours, but yeah, really, really just shitheads.
Speaker 3:Wait, so is this like a genetic thing, or is it from people being stressed? That's a really good question.
Speaker 1:I don't know the answer to that. You know what?
Speaker 2:It probably could be a genetic thing if somebody's face is sort of you know, built in a way that, like maybe the bones are close to each other, or I was gonna say that. Or like the fact that, like if it's you're also in the same household, so if there is like that stress and all that kind of stuff, right, the whole family might have it. Or if it's like you know, eating habits is that epigenetics? Is that what that is?
Speaker 1:I forget what epigenetics is like.
Speaker 3:It's not like through your DNA, but like through your life right, I was gonna say, like causation versus correlation, yes, yes, exactly yeah nurture nature whatever.
Speaker 2:I like yours better. But yeah, yeah, that made me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah oh, by the way, if you're listening and not watching, you're stupid. Um, because cody brought it today with the pajama outfit and I was like people a lot of times they forget, and so I'm just like, all right, fuck it, I'm just not gonna bother reminding her she's wearing a hat from peru. Uh, it's turquoise, gorgeous turquoise. It's got little two things like dangling from it.
Speaker 2:Tassels from the beanies. Thank you.
Speaker 1:She's got a bright turquoise jacket on, and I'm assuming that's a bra and underwear.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, this is what I sleep in. So I was like I guess I'll wear that. Oh wow, Because I couldn't show up naked. No, please.
Speaker 2:YouTube is just like uh, you said, you said damn, and they're like when you show up naked, they're just like yeah, you're fine, they just yeah you're incinerated. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Just put like, yeah, just block out the person what's the print on your?
Speaker 3:uh, this is um nightmare before christmas. Oh, my god, the socks even match. Oh, that's cool. It's from me, undies, so cute. I love it. Is it comfortable?
Speaker 1:it's so soft, like it's my favorite well, we're not sponsored by bras, but we can talk about them, perfect, yeah, um. So I don't know if you're interested in any of this jaw stuff, but, um, I'm gonna show you guys. Uh, and I'm talking a little bit about like why, and what and uh um, why we're gonna do self-massage for some tmj, tmj, tmj, it's the temporal.
Speaker 1:I have to look at my notes. This is temporal mandibular disorder joint and it's also just TMD is what they call it too. But most people just say it's just TMJ, because it's the joint in here and it can get out of line from tightness and you know, tension going in the wrong ways and cause swelling, neck pain, headaches, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:It sounds painful? Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's people who are just white knuckling it, I guess.
Speaker 3:I feel like sometimes if I open my mouth too big, I get like a pop. Is that something?
Speaker 1:Yes, that's, yeah, that's probably.
Speaker 3:hmm, that might like the the fascia thing that we're gonna work on, okay yeah, she's um I don't want to say I don't think I can fit my fist in my mouth you do, or is that? Normal, I can, okay, do you?
Speaker 2:want to try again so I was gonna say again, as you mentioned nikki, she's a very relaxed person, so that's why it's like that way. Oh my God.
Speaker 1:Not threatened at all. By the way, Boyfriend's sitting across from her. She's got a whole fist in her mouth.
Speaker 2:That's so fucking funny If you're listening and not watching. That was amazing. Cody just ate her fist, she ate her hand.
Speaker 3:She has one hand left. Now Wipe the s.
Speaker 2:So I think TMJ also, they say the J because it's jaw and that reminds them.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:TMJ usually like the jaw, so that's Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:Frequent gum chewing things like that. And that's another thing that you could do to help to, like you know, not build up the muscles and you know I'm just going through a few of my notes here Massaging your face will actually also make you look younger. So it's going to cause more circulation, it's going to stimulate collagen and elastin facial mobility. You know everybody's wanting their, their snatch jaws. You know these days Do you watch the TikToks.
Speaker 3:A little bit, yeah, but mine's mostly like motorcycles, right, exactly.
Speaker 1:If you put in like jaw snatch like twice, that's all you're going to get.
Speaker 3:I feel like mine would give me something dirty if I put that in?
Speaker 1:why is that cody well?
Speaker 2:that's hilarious. So now, when you say facial mobility, snatch yes, jaw snatch, jaw snatch baby, just uh, when you have facial mobility, does that mean like like how much easier your face can move around, like like that kind of thing, or is like if you have like tmj, that you actually have pain moving your um?
Speaker 1:well, you might be locked into a certain facial like position, so like. So when I go in personally, when I go with my hands, I can actually unlock the stuff going on in between the upper and the lower jaw. I have singers that come to me for that reason, so that that they can open that area up more.
Speaker 1:We carry a lot of stress. I just want to go into this aspect of it is we carry a lot of our stress, obviously, frustration, anything you can't say, anything that you didn't say, it all goes into here and in Chinese medicine this is a liver point. I'm pointing to my masseter and my jaw um, and that's where we store our anger. According to chinese medicine, we store it into into the um the liver, into the liver oh see, I feel like I just say everything all the time.
Speaker 3:Well, maybe that's why you don't have a job, why?
Speaker 1:there's very few people like that. So, yeah, I'm a sagittarius, so is he, but he's got the most tight job ever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't I kept things in for a long time.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And there'll be times when we're talking and the conversation's just so tense, you know, and uh, and like you're, like you're, like you know, calm down, you're, you're, you're, uh. I can see you clenching your jaw.
Speaker 1:I can see it like like pulsating right here.
Speaker 2:But when I'm doing it, I open, I'm like, wow, am I just like subconsciously or unconsciously doing this? Yeah, and I guess that becomes my baseline then so I wouldn't know if it was locked or not, or but um, yeah, I definitely. When I chew gum for a while, I, like you know, for like half a day it'll start to hurt you really, and then you get headaches from it sometimes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it goes down my neck, up my ears to my head. But when you've done that, buckle massage I haven't had it for like months at a time yeah, I gotta work on you some more actually you really do.
Speaker 2:I keep telling my publicist I do for a living, so it's like he's the last person that gets it yeah, that's cool, though I get it, it's a good thing, I'm not a prostitute I know that would suck you'd be the last one on the list yeah, I think in any situation you don't want to be the last person that that's true yeah, sloppy hundreds. My girlfriend's really good. You know, that's the thing.
Speaker 1:So it can also release the jaw. What was I going to say?
Speaker 2:From your face.
Speaker 1:Oh, like double chin stuff as well. Oh, because if your face is in the wrong position, you're not able to keep your tongue in the right position. You don't have that issue at all. You have a very uh strong jaw line and, like you know the snatchness. I'm not going to ask how old you are, but, um, yeah, she looks very young and she has a very young facial line and it looks natural if you're listening and not watching.
Speaker 2:Nikki just gave our guest a compliment yeah, I'm gonna ask her for some favorites later.
Speaker 1:So, um, and apparently treating tmj can also help tinnitus and I didn't know this I have ringing in my ears like yeah, it's always there.
Speaker 2:I don't see, I can't remember a time when it wasn't at least 20 years, something like that. Like all the time, it's just all the time there's just like a ringing, like if it's complete silence, then I'll still hear like a.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's so weird.
Speaker 2:I don't know if it's like just listening to like music that had too many highs like treble and whatnot. I mean, I had music allowed in the car but it was typically like bass, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, over time though, it's like anything else. It takes like 30 years for your body to just, you know, show the like if you any sunburn you've had in your life. You're not probably old enough to get the barnacles yet, but eventually they will come out. There's no free lunch with the body, barnacles like a pirate you're gonna get skin barnacles yeah, and the same with the same with the hearing thing?
Speaker 2:yeah, I mean, I do. If you know, like loud, like tools and stuff like that. I've been around. I don't ever like cover my ears or use any ear protection. Now I do, now I use that and also like the mask and like just because I don't want to breathe that stuff in. But also, you know, the ears, they're bad it's bad I just figured I'd end that conversation like I look like a little kid. I was. I realized I was rambling and I was like the ears are bad. So yeah, it made sense, Okay.
Speaker 1:As long as you feel like it did.
Speaker 2:I don't feel anything.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how are you doing over there? So good Okay.
Speaker 2:Like a check-in with the guests.
Speaker 3:I'm learning so much Are you yeah.
Speaker 1:That's my favorite thing that people say on the podcast other than I'm going to subscribe to it. I'm already a subscriber, you are.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you got me, oh my.
Speaker 1:God, I saw Tammy Jo's episode and I was like this is actually really good. Oh, that's right. Yeah, I know, yeah.
Speaker 3:And then I saw some of the clips on the Instagram and I was like, oh, I love this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're going to look really good, so excited thanks.
Speaker 3:I was having a bad hair day so I was like we'll just throw a hat on, that's perfect.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's what the artist does?
Speaker 2:the artist adapts like.
Speaker 1:You did the same thing too I gave myself a haircut today, actually how's it in the back?
Speaker 2:is it pretty straight yeah?
Speaker 1:was it long before it was like down to my.
Speaker 3:No, I'm just kidding, that would be wild. I would be in tears for you. That's like emotional I know.
Speaker 1:No, not it. I was like probably a half an inch, but I like to keep it, you know, blunt when I'm wearing it down. So then I do it on the same day when I'm going to shoot something, because then it looks really blunt.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Do you flat iron your hair?
Speaker 3:No, I just have naturally curly hair. I scrunch it.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, so that makes sense.
Speaker 3:I'm a total tomboy yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I guess I should have guessed that you're on the motorcycles. Yeah, sometimes I get my nails done though before I go to events, cause I'm, I film, I make content and because you're not right now, don't look at them, don't look at them.
Speaker 1:I like the way they look.
Speaker 3:But you know, I do a lot of closeups where I'm like working on things and so I'll go get a mani pedi before I go like live in the desert for a week or whatever, and around dudes and having these hot pink nails with little like light, like neon lightning bolts on them and stuff, that's so cool. Yeah, you go in the desert and you stay out there. Um, I do a lot of like adventure bike camp outs and stuff. So, yeah, my first one was actually in moab. Uh, six months ago I was supposed to go with the guy and he had the dirt bike in the van and all the things and I was just getting into it. The dirt bike's been doing motorcycles for a long time, yeah. But we broke up and I was like, well, I'm still going to go to this thing. So I rented a truck, I rented a dirt bike and I drove to Moab by myself. Girl.
Speaker 1:I love you.
Speaker 3:That's amazing yeah To meet up with 300 other adventure bikers and I just made friends from there and then I went and got my own bike and stuff. But that was my first time and, yeah, I had my nails done.
Speaker 1:I want to do that. I'm so afraid of motorcycles that I will never do it.
Speaker 3:You can ride on the back with me. Okay, yeah, really.
Speaker 1:Yeah, absolutely. Oh, dude, I would totally want to do that. That's amazing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can get you a cute helmet.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, you'd look good on a bike, for sure.
Speaker 1:I had a dirt bike for a little. Yeah, you know what that is, yes, and I would go. But like my bike was probably not suited for me and I just, and I didn't know what I was doing, and they were basically just like you know, my boyfriend and his brother were just like all right, see ya, and I didn't know what the fuck I was doing. Like, honestly, I was just like you have to shift the gears and I felt, you know, sometimes I'm going too fast, sometimes I'm going so slow I fall over. So it takes a little, assuming.
Speaker 3:Yeah, definitely. You are using all of your appendages to do different things and a lot of times for petite females, it's like you can't touch the ground.
Speaker 1:Exactly that's really scary, for me yeah, how tall are you? 5'2". I'm saying 5'2". Yeah, so can you touch the ground?
Speaker 3:on your bike, I had to get both of them lowered, and I on my dirt bike, I'm tiptoed on one side, so you kind of like scooch your butt off to like let one foot drop, um, which makes it a lot more challenging. It is yeah.
Speaker 1:And you have to be moving in order to feel like you're not going to fall off the bike. Yeah, and then when?
Speaker 3:you're on a slant, you actually lose that, especially if you're trying to like turn around now all of a sudden you can't touch, so it's it's aggressive.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this guy you have to. Kind of it's like I think you have to. I guess it forces you to be present, like you can't just daydream.
Speaker 1:No, no, you have to be on it.
Speaker 2:That's pretty cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you develop this hyper awareness of your surroundings and, yeah, like if I'm going to turn around, I have to pre-think that because I can get stuck really easily no-transcript oh yeah but I always find it so cool to be able to just kind of zip around and do your thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can't remember if I had a two stroke or a four stroke, that's. That's as much as I know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's good though.
Speaker 1:I had one of them, yeah.
Speaker 3:You had two wheels, I did, I had two wheels.
Speaker 1:I wish I had three. Actually, that would have been a lot more helpful.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It was harrowing, but you're saying that you like the adrenaline which does keep you present Because, like you were saying, I feel like when I'm having an adrenaline moment, things are moving slowly, right right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, everything slows down, for sure, and I'm one of those people I never feel like I'm doing enough, you know. So I like like to keep challenging myself, and with bikes you could always be doing that. You can always push the limits. Like what could you do more? Um, I could work more, I could volunteer more, I can be like tricks or something like that. Well, yeah, I'm working on my wheelies and stuff, but yeah, Dude, I want to see you do a wheelie.
Speaker 3:That's amazing, I can do it on the dirt bike, not on the Harley. But there's a stunt group called Della Crew and it's an all-female stunt team and they've now got this contraption that they built. That's like a metal circle around the bike and they go forward and flip the bike over on the circle. Whoa, you've seen acrobatics do it where they're all stretched out rolling around they're on motorcycles, doing it like a hamster wheel and a bike.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's so badass and you're gonna do that? No, probably not, but but there's just endless possibilities, right? Oh my god. Yeah, that's insane, I think.
Speaker 2:I don't think I could even get to that point ingenuity, just the fact that like just to flip that around, that's pretty cool yeah, like how do you even think about that?
Speaker 3:and then engineer yourself and then the first person to practice it, right?
Speaker 1:You're like I don't know if this is going to work. Yeah, he died. Yeah, exactly, but it was a pretty simple myofascial release. So we have fascia in the face, we have fascia all over our body. It basically surrounds our muscle. It doesn't encase all of our facial muscles, but basically on the body it encases those you might. I mean, you know about fascia kind of a little bit. No, okay, so it's like a webbing almost.
Speaker 1:Okay, and so over time it can get adhesions which make it stick down. Um, that will like, it will make you like, you'll get knots like in your, you know, in your body.
Speaker 3:You feel that yeah?
Speaker 1:exactly, and that's some of that is fascia like getting stuck or getting bunched up, and so when it's not, when it was too tight or whatever, you can actually just help to release it, but it's a very slow, slow, slow process and it's not because the fascia is right underneath the skin. So you've got your skin, you've got your lymph system, and then you've got your fascia and then your muscles, and so I don't know why I said all four of those things, but the fascia is really interesting.
Speaker 1:It's like pantyhose right and everything. This is just off topic sort of but all the fascia is really connected through the whole body. So what was the one we were doing? The um? It was okay. So if you do um kegels kegels, however you say it doing them right now you are yeah the three students called them quaggles I think it's. It's also connected to your jaw right oh, is that the one where you're?
Speaker 1:yeah, right. So now put your fingers on your jaw just very lightly, okay, do the kegels and see if you feel a slight pulse, just a slight oh there it is under your.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can feel under here too, under that just gave me goosebumps.
Speaker 1:Isn't that crazy? Yeah, so this connected to this, so that so when we have a lot of pelvic tension as well, it's usually because we're like, oh my god, please don't hurt me, um, and so it's all connected.
Speaker 3:Oh, it's like when dogs bark and their butthole clenches exactly like that when you're looking for analogies, or like, yeah, that's that's the one.
Speaker 2:Or like, yeah, that's a perfect comparison, absolutely yeah, I always refer to the dog's butthole. Yeah, I love that he's winky, you just I noticed, like when they say like, if you're going to build muscle, um, it's good to stretch your muscles because you're also stretching the fascia, which basically just giving you a little more room to have the muscle build and repair exactly get bigger or you can get more circulation that way yeah stretching is super important for that reason too, like he's saying, and uh, yeah, but you break down the fascia or like you break it up with like the massage right.
Speaker 1:I do. I break it up with the massage. Um, uh, yeah, I do. I I'm going more for the muscle, but I think, just as a consequence of that, when I'm doing, when I'm doing is a little more, uh, aggressive. Um, I'm demonstrating on air right now but, um, and it will sort of move the fascia around. But the one that I'm gonna show you is like super gentle and you can do it yourself. But you have to remember it's very slow because the fascia is right under the skin and it's like this whole, you know, this whole area has like a sheet right here. So if you guys wanna try it with me really fast, it increases the blood flow, it smooths out the tissue when you get like emotionally stressed out. You can do this. So put your fingers like right at the um, like right at your jaw, okay, and just kind of let them sit there right, so you're not using any oil, and then maybe just like push slightly up and you're just gonna let it go slow and this is gonna get.
Speaker 1:This is not good radio, but if you're listening and not watching, I I think you should just get a television uh radio has been dead for a long time, so do you know, your fingers should be like um, gradually on their own sort of just like by nature of the movement under your skin and a little bit of facial oil that you might have, you know, coming out. Yeah, so you're, you're doing it. Let me see you that.
Speaker 3:No, you're doing it way too hard. Yeah, before I was like a chipmunk and now I it's gentler.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's way gentle, yeah and, yes, someone's doing it way too hard. I am yeah here. Overachievers over here I know what am I doing? Okay, so put your finger right here I'm gonna, sorry, crossing, okay, um, so this is about the pressure. You okay, like that, right, and you're just gonna go up like that, okay nikki also helps me eat you want me to do it to you too?
Speaker 2:yeah, so put my hands on backwards um so if you're listening and not watching, nikki's in front of the camera, sure, and she's showing the guest how to do the exercise, and then it just keeps climbing up.
Speaker 1:Yep, do you see what I?
Speaker 3:mean just very gradual, yeah, okay now.
Speaker 2:Is it better to do without oil?
Speaker 3:yes, this one is actually better to do without oil is this where all the like I know when the jade rolly things got really big is that. Is that similar? Is that different? Or the rocks people do rocks oh, the um, the gua sha.
Speaker 1:Those things do help to smooth out the fascia. I think it's also more for lymphatic drainage.
Speaker 3:That sounds more right.
Speaker 1:But if your fascia's messed up, it's going to block lymph in circulation, so it all goes together.
Speaker 2:You know I had a lot of problems with fascia, with fascists, so hardcore every time you say it, I do think of nazis.
Speaker 3:What are we?
Speaker 2:talking about.
Speaker 3:Yeah, see why are we talking about, uh, the ss yeah which also shows how like poor the science education system is in the united states. You're like talking about four layers of skin. I'm like what?
Speaker 1:yeah, they didn't teach any of that no even in state board they don't teach you that really.
Speaker 3:I mean, they might have for like one second, but I'm from Southern Illinois and they literally don't teach you geography because they're like you're never leaving.
Speaker 1:You don't need to know this Okay, they didn't teach you about Bakersfield, no, thank God. So I think that was basically the same way. So I think that was basically the same way. Oh, here's the other one. You want to do so? Put your fingers in the same place where they were gently, and then go up right between where your upper and lower jaw meet, right, okay, and then open very slowly and then close very slowly, okay, and you will do that. You know, you probably do that for like two, three minutes. It's kind of relaxing too.
Speaker 3:I'm starting to get sleepy. This feels like the start to an OnlyFans video.
Speaker 1:Whatever, dude, if I can get in on that, you let me know. This is the direction that someone's going to tell you to do this is the beginning.
Speaker 3:We'll see where it goes.
Speaker 1:Cody, release your fascia.
Speaker 3:Thousand bucks when I count to 10, release your fascia. Oh, I like that it's like hypnosis and the bass drops.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I don't know, I'm getting sleepy from my own thing, I know. You went yeah, yeah, I know getting sleepy from my own thing. You go, you went, you went. Yeah, yeah, I know um. So that's, that's an easy thing that you can do. If you actually have um jaw issues, then this is probably better um for you than it is for cody, because she doesn't seem to have those issues but these could also help to relax and prevent any sure absolutely because jaw issues it doesn't't.
Speaker 2:you know, it doesn't have an age, Anybody can have jaw issues. That's true, sorry, I'm getting choked up talking about the jaw.
Speaker 1:I know your eyes got watery.
Speaker 2:What happened, I don't know. I started coughing a lot and that makes me really emotional, and so I I started crying because I was coughing a lot.
Speaker 1:Why are you coughing? I?
Speaker 2:just had a little tickle Allergies this time of year, oh that's true. Make me really sad.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you make me really sad. It's so windy, everything is just the dust in the air. God, it really is. Do you get allergies?
Speaker 1:No, I feel like I don't get any of the bad stuff Fuck you no, just kidding, but that's good. Hey Alex, can we bleep out the F word?
Speaker 2:that I just dropped there. I want to make sure YouTube does like that does matter with YouTube huh, yeah, we did it.
Speaker 1:Oh, I forget yeah you're going to have to, like I got to look at the time codes. The next time I say the F word.
Speaker 3:I think it's okay if it's like occasionally. Okay, it's not like the whole thing is about. Yeah, exactly, Okay, good.
Speaker 1:I just felt relaxed, you know. So there's, the F-bomb slides out.
Speaker 3:But yeah, you don't have anything, just perfect, just perfect.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you are perfect, have you done?
Speaker 3:shows with Tammy, by the way, yeah, actually. Yeah, I did the Comedy Store forever ago. That's so fun. Yeah, it was really cool. And then we were that was like eight years ago maybe, and then we just got reunited. We ran into each other.
Speaker 1:I wonder if we were on some of the same shows, because I host for her a lot.
Speaker 3:Your name was so familiar and I have other friends in the comedy circle and I had done other things. So yeah, I was like thinking that on the drive over here.
Speaker 1:I was like I know you for sure it's Nikki Davis. Miller is what I used to go by, but then that was my married name and then Tammy decided, because it sounds like Sammy Davis Jr, to call me Nikki Davis Jr.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, actually Nikki Davis Jr is what sounds familiar to me.
Speaker 1:Oh, really, yeah, oh okay, but yeah, how long has that been? What like a year, a year? I don't know, there better not be another Nikki Davis Jr yeah, I know we're gonna make that person a senior why are your eyes watering?
Speaker 2:I don't. I get really like, I get touched by like talking about comedy got a lot going on over there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's a lot happening. There's a lot of moving parts, yeah how did you meet Tammy, by the way?
Speaker 3:uh, I think just doing the comedy circuit I think somebody put me in touch with her. She was doing bitch comedy, oh yeah, I love that show.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love that show. Yeah, it was really fun. Oh, I hope we do a show together I don't really do it anymore.
Speaker 3:You're not.
Speaker 3:I didn't love it oh I didn't love it I mean, it was a while ago, so no, you know, I I prefer scripted over live. And then I thought that the comedy world was just brutal in terms of being like a young, attractive female. I found that, and like it's what you're putting out there too like at the time I was drinking a lot and I was partying a lot and I was a different person, but I just found that the energy that I was attracting was like people hate you and then you have to prove to them that you're funny and that you're worthy.
Speaker 3:And you get it a little bit too as a young actress walking on the set. Everyone's like who do you know, or whatever. But then you get to show your talent off a little bit, but with stunts or motorcycle riding you get this respect already. And I really like that, so that's why I gravitated more to doing a motorcycle show. That's really cool, but so I have the utmost respect for people, women, young women doing comedy.
Speaker 1:I'm just trying to prove to them I'm pretty. I'm like, please you guys, I swear to God, I'm pretty. That's hilarious. I made myself laugh.
Speaker 2:It's interesting, you're being funny, you're being perfect.
Speaker 1:Thank you.
Speaker 2:Oh God, it's interesting. I was gonna say it's interesting because like there's times when, like comedy meant so much more to me and I was in the moment where I was like you know, like I don't know if I could do this, or it was just kind of cutthroat, or people weren't super nice and everything, and then I kind of just stopped caring so much about with them. It just happened to be that way, because if I tried to, I would just get obsessed about it. So now it's not even something I hold like to.
Speaker 2:The opinions of others are kind of like whatever, that's the biggest lesson you have that's the biggest but like you're, like you went to like and you gravitate towards a motorcycle, like you know, and doing other stuff and doing things that like you felt like more like empowering. First off people give you credit for which was so cool, because then when I do stuff like that, then it brings it around. Then I'm like, oh, comedy is kind of whatever and because you're very funny, so I see it. Like you're like oh no, we'll just throw stuff out when it becomes like not your main goal or your main thing. It just comes out easier and it's not your main focus.
Speaker 1:Like you have like more perspective on it that's true, I know what you're saying, yeah, yeah yeah, and that's kind of the energy too, right?
Speaker 3:Is people like I'm trying to be funny? And you're like the moment you're trying, you're not anymore. And then, um, yeah, just I would go to shows and it's like they're. The other comedians didn't respect any of the other comedians, like no one listened to each other Nobody laughed on their phones all the time, and you know, I find the Harley culture can be a little that way where people are like snotty, but the adventure bike culture is very much like let's help each other out, because I was where you were at one point.
Speaker 3:And so I really am so drawn to, like that energy.
Speaker 2:That's cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Are there a lot of women in what you're doing? No, there are very few, even the women that. So it's so much harder as a woman too, because you want to go to a week-long adventure camp out well okay, do you have kids? Because then that becomes a thing right or like do you have a jaw like all the? It's a lot of like. It's a lot of like six-year-old white dudes is who I'm hanging out with six-year-old, six-year-old white because, they're the retired ones with money who can have a week?
Speaker 3:off work to go do this adventure and have the expensive bike, and it's a really expensive, time-consuming thing that you also had to have done a lot already. It's not like you can be new and go do these things. You have to put in the work and so, yeah, I'm definitely a huge minority in the space, which I think is another reason why they've been so welcoming, because they want more of that energy.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So yeah, it's been really interesting.
Speaker 2:You can draw more attention to it. Yeah, no, it's going to draw more attention to it. You get out of your comfort zone because now it's like, well, I'm not usually around this type of people or however. It is like this age group, age group or age range or like demographic, whatever it is like. But you're just like now you're getting that experience and you're like, okay, cool. And then this becomes like a normal thing. It's cool to conquer those little, you know, because I have like a lot of social anxieties as well. Um, and I know nikki and I, you we'll kind of talk about that.
Speaker 3:What Because?
Speaker 2:you have a little. You know you're not socially anxious, but you're definitely aware.
Speaker 1:I used to hide in the bathroom at the comedy store.
Speaker 2:I can understand why, for at least a couple of years, I used to hide in the main room bathroom.
Speaker 1:You know that big bathroom back there with the sofas, yeah, and it was really nice to just lay down there and hide from everybody.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I bathroom, like what do you like? And then you wouldn't, then I wouldn't see you for like 15 minutes, like what are you in the bath?
Speaker 1:and then I really, you know there's a couch talk to anybody, because the people back then it was a little bit more, when you were probably hanging around at the store. I think the vibe was a little more um, what do you call it negative?
Speaker 2:I'd say it's a little bit, just generally more negative.
Speaker 1:I think now it's a bit more supportive now it's a little more and there's like a different.
Speaker 2:There's just a different type of like mindset at the store, especially because the jobs are very coveted, like it always has been, but like now, it's like even more so, it's like it's so cool to be around that energy in there. Now it's, it's different, it feels good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah yeah, I didn't like to go there because I would you know you get harassed too. Yes, all the things even um.
Speaker 3:I was a big bathroom hanger-outer and like especially at a club, like I would go hang out with the staff in the bathroom because to me they were cooler like I want to hang out with, like you know, jose in the bathroom, not all the cool kids with the bottle service like trying to screw each other, you know you want to hang out with the guy with the mouthwash in the bathroom.
Speaker 2:That's hilarious yeah, the the best and I remember back then the best drugs was always the people that didn't weren't at the club trying to get bottle service and all that kind of stuff. It was a staff that was like man, we gotta deal with these assholes, and so they wouldn't have all the good shit yeah are you coughing? I was about to, that's so unprofessional like keep talking while I cough okay, yeah, so america was started when, uh, people had greed.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you're ready, I'm good, I'm back okay, we're back, okay, um, well, I was kind of hoping to do shows with you and stuff like that. You should, you should just come and just do one, just for fun yeah, I mean I give into peer pressure really easily oh good, okay, that's good to know yeah times, I'll be there she starts a new career.
Speaker 2:Okay, somebody just told me I should do it like twice and I just started here.
Speaker 1:I am 10 years later well, I want to ask you this before we wrap up do you do um stunts like on tv stunts?
Speaker 3:yeah, I've done a lot of indie stunt stuff, um. So one of my favorite things is getting lit on fire. Oh my god that's sick, I love that and then I double for girls on bikes or horses or like basic fight choreography or the wire work and stuff oh, so you oh, that's really cool.
Speaker 2:So you double for like projects like on movies and like shows and stuff like that. That's so cool yeah wow, and you said horses as well, right?
Speaker 2:yeah, is that something that like well, I mean, you're obviously on. You know, the horse is like a motorcycle, I guess everybody knows that. But I mean, like, is it like one that you're like, oh well, this is kind of like riding a horse is like a motorcycle, I guess everybody knows that. But I mean, like, is it like one that you're like, oh well, this is kind of like riding a horse, or is this kind of like riding a motorcycle? Is there one that you did before the other that?
Speaker 3:uh, I started riding motorcycles first okay and yeah, a lot of times with stunt jobs, it's just like, can you do this thing? And you just say yes because, who's like, nobody's ever been lit on fire before they've been lit on fire for something right right, right, right, right, yeah you say yes to everything and then figure it out like sorry, I lost the footage.
Speaker 3:But yes, you have to trust me, I was on fire and then a lot of times you know the people around you have done it, but then sometimes everyone else is just like no man, I don't know. You have to figure that one out yourself.
Speaker 2:You're like oh, wow, oh my god. That's cool though, but yeah, but you know more than comedy.
Speaker 3:I really love hosting, so like hosting a show okay, really fun, and then I bring up the comedians.
Speaker 2:Yeah you guys be. You are the only two people and nikki's very good host. They like, like hosting.
Speaker 1:I love hosting too. I feel like it's my party, like you know, yes, and I love making people feel good so like give me your bio, let me introduce you.
Speaker 3:like, let me praise you. Oh, okay, I don't do that part.
Speaker 1:The comics can take care of themselves. It's the audience I'm concerned about.
Speaker 3:I'm also the audience.
Speaker 1:But they probably love you for that reason, though, that you're actually like, they're interested in what the comics do outside of the show that you're doing right now.
Speaker 2:It makes people feel you know special it does you know you make the audience feel special. You ask for their credits. Why are you how?
Speaker 1:why can you be here? You know, yeah, anyway, yeah, I feel like I'm gonna cough again. Well, um, this has been so fun. I just want to say thank you so much for coming and, uh, I got to. Really, I know so much about someone that I had no idea, I didn't even know.
Speaker 2:I didn't know I didn't know, I just didn't know you know, that's the weird thing about especially comedy, I think any like anything you do where you blend a lot of people that might not have never met before but they're there for a specific reason. We could have all been in the same room, like just with our backs turned to each other and so many different shows or whatever, and it's like that kind of thing where, like, if you have that footage, you're like, oh no, you guys were always in the same room. It's like, oh nice to meet you little, while you're just passing somebody right by and then our paths just crossed.
Speaker 3:Now, here you are yeah, I think they should have been an app like that. You know how they did with covid people you come in contact to, but you can see your whole life, like every time you were in the same room.
Speaker 2:That'd be so cool that would be really cool. Oh my, my God, yeah, you'd be like no, we've been in the same like five feet. You know five square feet three times in my life. It's like, oh, I've never even seen your face.
Speaker 1:How many times were you in the same room with your soulmate Mm-hmm? You know, yeah, never.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, yeah, well myself.
Speaker 3:Yeah, still looking all right.
Speaker 2:Well, um, oh uh, is there anything? Um, is there anything you'd like to uh kind of plug or talk about before? Um, and then we'll get your social media deets as well yeah, absolutely so.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the iron pony show is my motorcycle adventure series. It's on youtube. Uh, if you just search iron pony show, it'll pop up and, um, yeah, I'm the creator and host of that and that's like, that's my passion and that's what I love to do.

Speaker 1:people are like oh, you spell your name with two E's and I'm like oh no, this is so confusing for SEO, you need a hyphen in there or something. A hyphen would have been good, anyway, that's it, that's cool, you're like an onion. We don't have to have you back for sure.
