We certainly do, and on this episode of "Hey Real Quick with Amy and Marty," we tackle some of the quirkiest self-care trends with our signature humor.

Our lighthearted take on these activities is sure to make you chuckle and maybe even rethink your next spa day.

Feeling brave? We dive into the chilly world of cold therapy, debating the merits of ice baths versus cold showers. Whether you're a fan of steaming or chilling, our conversation promises laughs and insights into these wellness trends that have us both amused and intrigued.

From Steve Carell's hilarious chest-waxing blooper to the practicality of hospitals offering post-surgery makeovers, our humorous critique highlights the lengths people go to maintain their appearance.

Oh yeah, Self-care.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, self-care, man, self-care, that's what they call it these days.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's big. Yeah, it's a whole industry but for me it's like, oh, let's go get a haircut. Is that self-care?

Speaker 1:

oh, for me it is yeah yeah, oh I mean also just so I don't eventually look like bigfoot, but like still.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know for me it is I know I don't, I don't get my nails done. I don't either.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but that's big.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Robin does.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. It's big on the powder or something Dip powder man the dip powder. I did it for my daughter's wedding and I will say I was like, wow, this is amazing. You leave with a manicure, you can bump it, and if you brush it up against it, it doesn't smear or smudge or dent or anything. It's impressive, should be impressive, it should be. I'm going to say this for a minute. I didn't plan on saying this, but when they take it off, it's like you're using a Dremel.

Speaker 2:

Well, if it doesn't come off easily.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's like a tool, what?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, a Dremel.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, something. But then there's like glitter and acrylic or dried powder flying everywhere and they're sort of. Sometimes they're wearing a little mask.

Speaker 2:

You're like in an auto body shop.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, goggles, and I'm like shouldn't I have goggles and a mask? How much glitter is in your lungs?

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I'm on, I'm going to say a little bit. I'm going to say a salt shaker's worth by the end of the week.

Speaker 2:

To nail salon. People do they have like is it a disease? Is it like, oh, she got the glitter lung? Yeah, is it like, oh, she got the glitter loan.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's a little bit concerning, so anyway, but I'm not very glitzy so I don't do that. But one thing I do treat myself to and this is also man, these are not very shiny is a massage. But it's not the kind of massage where you're like, oh yay, that feels great. You know relaxing. I do the trigger point therapy massage.

Speaker 2:

It's like torture.

Speaker 1:

I know it's more like a medical thing than treat yourself, but it doesn't feel good at the time, but like if I've got something going on, like headache or whatever. It's like we're going to get in there and work out every bit of tension in this muscle and like it does not feel good but it feels better later. These are not great fun options Later, but I do like a good real massage. I haven't had a ton in my life but like you know one where you go in they have the music, oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

Well, there's too many, it's like everything there's too many options's like everything there's too many options yeah, do you want the hot stone? Hot stone, deep tissue massage.

Speaker 1:

I've never done hot stone, I think.

Speaker 2:

I don't think I've done that. I don't know, and who's heating up? These rocks and you know yeah, how hot are they um?

Speaker 1:

yeah, I could go lay on my driveway in August for free.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, yeah, I don't think I've done that. But yeah, there's all those Hot zone deep tissue?

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Can I take this robe home? That's another thing too. It's like get changed in here.

Speaker 1:

I know, and you always, like I kind of feel like I do at the doctor. Did they say open in the back or front, like I'm questioning everything they said, because it's like men in black, I remember nothing. Yeah, you know, yeah, so um, and like, am I, am I on the table in the right spot? Are they gonna say scoot up just a little bit? Or, you know, you put your head in the hole of the thing or whatever yeah, but um, so also facials.

Speaker 1:

I've done a couple of those, but now I've seen this on social media where they'll take a little. I'm sure people that are more like you know beauty forward than me have done this, but like they have a little machine that will like suck all the stuff out of your pores.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, I've seen that.

Speaker 1:

That's, that's got to not feel good.

Speaker 2:

Right, maybe your skin looks good. Is that a Dyson? Yeah, uh-uh. No, to me that doesn't seem like self-care.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

That's maintenance.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's beauty maintenance.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, I'm thinking like a sauna.

Speaker 1:

Okay, yeah, have you done that?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I did those for a while. I did like a membership. Oh, that's right, but it's great in, like the fall and the winter.

Speaker 1:

You know. But in the summer you're like I'm trying not to do this, I'm like it's Tennessee. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm sweating. I was sweating when I came in the place.

Speaker 1:

You could have just charged me on the sidewalk.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we do a group right outside. Yeah, but it was nice because it was there's no kids in there or anybody.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. So it's basically you just don't talk to people. Yeah Well, that's right up your alley. It's basically just like a chamber. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean you can say all the benefits you want, but like wait a minute, I get peace and quiet yeah. Yeah, I mean you can say all the benefits you want, but like wait a minute.

Speaker 1:

I get peace and quiet yeah.

Speaker 2:

For like 45 minutes. Right, yeah, I mean sounds good, yeah, there was that they had that, and then they also had the float therapy.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

Where you get in a big, it's like kind of like an egg, I guess.

Speaker 1:

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

And you just, I don't know the giant egg dark room.

Speaker 1:

Full of water.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, full of water. Supposedly 1,000 pounds of salt.

Speaker 1:

So you float.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I hope so For like 40 minutes. I think you can do like 40 or 60 minute float.

Speaker 1:

How are you passing that time?

Speaker 2:

You just lay there.

Speaker 1:

You don't get bored, no.

Speaker 2:

All right.

Speaker 1:

I've had 10 minutes. What?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I always just imagined I was 11, you know from Stranger Things, oh yeah, because she just floats yeah. I would just look for Will.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

No, you just chill out.

Speaker 1:

I don't know if I can do that you can almost fall asleep.

Speaker 2:

I was going to ask do?

Speaker 1:

people fall asleep? Yeah, I was going to ask do people fall asleep? Yeah, I almost dozed off a couple times.

Speaker 2:

That is crazy. I don't know it's supposed to be good. You know how they do. They say like oh, it's great for your muscles, Everything's about recovery.

Speaker 1:

Inflammation Like.

Speaker 2:

I've been running marathons.

Speaker 1:

Right, I'm recovering from my car line.

Speaker 2:

I don't know Did you cut grass yesterday, you need um.

Speaker 1:

Would you cut grass yesterday? You need to recover? Yeah, um, but yeah, it's relaxing. Interesting, yeah, I'd be. Yeah, I've heard of getting in the oxygen tank. This is not really spa, but just the oxygen. Like is that for people and like they? They advertise it for people that have chronic health stuff. But yeah, you get in the tank and I don't know, I guess it has a lot of oxygen Extra. I don't know, it's weird. Yeah, oxygen.

Speaker 2:

So you just breathe good for a little bit.

Speaker 1:

For a little bit when you get out, are you?

Speaker 2:

like.

Speaker 1:

Gives you a boost.

Speaker 2:

I feel like I got nothing. Right now I ain't got.

Speaker 1:

no, now I got to live in this thing. I can't even function on the outside. Okay, they do have a new thing. I've seen this on social media. That is, it's not a facial but it's like a scalp head spa thing and you see people like you know, when you go get your hair cut and you get it washed at least the ladies when you get and you lean your head back, well, they have this little. It looks like a yard sprinkler but it's smaller and you know like sprays your scalp and then, they, you know those little things you get like a like.

Speaker 2:

Like a nozzle.

Speaker 1:

White elephant gift.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, head scratcher deal.

Speaker 1:

Head scratcher. They do that. They do a detox thing on your scalp. What happens? It's all about scalp.

Speaker 2:

What's your scalp do? Does it just feel better?

Speaker 1:

I guess it feels better.

Speaker 2:

Huh.

Speaker 1:

It's interesting.

Speaker 2:

Scalp therapy.

Speaker 1:

I'll tell you what doesn't Well to me it looks yeah, treat yourself, treat your scalp. Yeah, scalp massages, yeah, treat yourself they had.

Speaker 2:

Well, it's all over. I guess I've messed up and clicked on the thing, or something.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I was like oh that's cool oh yes, oh my gosh. So, oh my gosh, you just bought a membership, so no, it's just my whole feed now. What is?

Speaker 2:

it, it's Ice Baths.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah For recovery.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, so like apparently the whole world is like working out and then jumping.

Speaker 1:

I know. Thanks a lot.

Speaker 2:

Mark Wahlberg yeah, so yeah, everybody's working out at four and then just sitting in ice for an hour, right?

Speaker 1:

But yeah, everybody's working out at four and then just sitting in ice for an hour Right, but yeah, it's all over it. Yeah, and it's basically like three minutes. Yeah, so we know two people that used to do that.

Speaker 2:

Did they like?

Speaker 1:

it.

Speaker 2:

Well, one does it, for it's supposed to be good for every. Yeah, allegedly.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, it's not headaches. Hold on One person. We know, an adult person who struggles with like pretty intense ADD, like throughout his day, runs his own business. He said he does that in the mornings and he's got one of those. I think just like an instant one, like you either blow or it's on his back porch or whatever. He said it's unbelievable. It's like a reset for the brain.

Speaker 2:

That's what I heard. I kind of want to try it. I heard I kind of want to try it.

Speaker 1:

I know I kind of do yeah.

Speaker 2:

And they do have. Well, they have the pods, but my thing is like wait a minute.

Speaker 1:

Where's all that ice? I got to buy ice every day. My GE ain't going to make that much ice in the door Right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, but they have this like big square deal with tubes or whatever, and it circulates the water, so you just set the temp.

Speaker 1:

Oh, it's still like the same little. Okay, where's that Costco? Pod yeah you get a six pack. Yeah, the whole neighborhood's doing it.

Speaker 2:

I think it's called Nuvo or something, but you set the temp.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and then it just chills it for you.

Speaker 2:

So you don't have to have ice no ice. There's no excuses except ow, it hurts.

Speaker 1:

I couldn't do that because I have circulation stuff with my extremities and my feet and my hands. I have that Renaud's syndrome where if your feet get cold they turn like blue and white.

Speaker 2:

I did not.

Speaker 1:

Renaud, that Sorry. Or Raynaud's, if you're not French, but anyway, yeah, what's up? So you can't get in a nice bed. It would not be advisable, like my feet will turn every color of the rainbow, and then they'll hurt. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I kind of want to do it.

Speaker 1:

I think you should do it. What.

Speaker 2:

Is there places you?

Speaker 1:

can go and they just have it and you just hop in. There should be. I don't know, yeah, but oh, that's definitely something you want to have at just your house, though, but I yeah, but I saw this too, and to me this was um, I'll say, dumber um it was the same company.

Speaker 2:

I think it's called the pod company I don't know why I'm like trying give these people sales. Yeah, all three people go buy it, yeah, but it's basically it's like an oil pan. It's like you're changing the oil on your car. Okay, so here's what you're supposed to do with it. You fill it with ice.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Right, and somehow you suspend it under your shower head, so your shower head water goes over the ice and then you're just taking an ice cold shower. That sounds horrible, horrible to me, which I'm like why don't?

Speaker 1:

have you ever Just go get in a hose.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, have you ever been camping? You don't have to buy that thing, just go to a campground. No, or any other country you know how many countries are like Cold water?

Speaker 1:

yeah.

Speaker 2:

You don't have to buy that thing, just go to a campground or any other country. You know how many countries are like.

Speaker 1:

Cold water, yeah, like when we've tried like mission trips or even with school or whatever, like I'm thinking.

Speaker 2:

It's just funny that we have always yeah, bathing the hose, cold shower. That one looked horrible to me. I'd rather sit in a tub of ice.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Than stand under.

Speaker 1:

Just take a cold shower or do the ice bath. Don't do that. And what if that thing falls? I was going to say all that ice could come tumbling down what happened?

Speaker 2:

Well, he was taking an ice shower.

Speaker 1:

First of all, that's not a thing, and I have a lot of questions. Yeah, we knew somebody that did that, and then they had their own sauna, so they would do the all-female business.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm all about a sauna, a sauna's nice.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't know, I like a sauna Kind of feels like my stomach is growling. It's all the gummy worms.

Speaker 2:

It feels like what, like you're just.

Speaker 1:

I feel like I don't know, I just feel like it's the summer, but it's not steam what is it?

Speaker 2:

It's not humid, it's like a.

Speaker 1:

Oh.

Speaker 2:

I've never done like a traditional the dry rock thing or whatever it is. Oh, what is that? Don't they have infrared saunas? It's like a microwave. You just hop in there and heat up from the inside. So yeah, there's no steam, there's no humidity. Really, you just sit in there and it's like 140 degrees. Wow.

Speaker 1:

Sweat out the toxins.

Speaker 2:

But they have Netflix. They got the little TVs in there.

Speaker 1:

How are they not melting?

Speaker 2:

So Netflix, they got the little TVs in there. How are they not melting? So I just get in there and watch Schitt's Creek. I'm like time's up, man, this episode ain't even over yet.

Speaker 1:

And where is this? Is it the same place you did the float dance?

Speaker 2:

What's it called? Oh man, I don't know what. It's called Pure sweat.

Speaker 1:

It's called pure sweat.

Speaker 2:

Or maybe pure float, I don't know Pure float sounds better, pure sweat sounds better.

Speaker 1:

Well, they only got one, or?

Speaker 2:

two float tubs. It's mainly saunas. Oh okay, anyway.

Speaker 1:

Mostly sweat. Yeah, that's what they should call it, sorry, 85% sweat.

Speaker 2:

But next to there they have. I've never done this, but I was talking to somebody and he used it Stretch Lab, which I— Okay, yeah, okay, you know how some people can like bend over and touch the floor Right. Or they can touch their toes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I can barely touch my knees Like I am not flexible yeah.

Speaker 1:

I'm the opposite, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm just rigid.

Speaker 1:

But isn't that interesting? We're paying people to help us stretch.

Speaker 2:

Right, you should have tried harder in PE.

Speaker 1:

I'm saying Now it's a whole business, because not everybody did well.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to pay $400 and watch me do this V-sit. In six months I'm going to kill it.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, it's just funny to me, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But, you know how you feel better after you stretch, I know Allegedly, I don't know, I don't do it.

Speaker 1:

You feel better after you work out too. They say Um, what are the things? What do you do besides the float tank? Treat yourself.

Speaker 2:

I don't even do that anymore. I'm waiting for Stranger Things to start back. Then I'll go float again.

Speaker 1:

I don't think it's going to happen. We were talking about that this morning. I know this is diversion, but I'm a little upset.

Speaker 2:

I'm very upset. I think their grandkids are going to solve it. I think they're going to take care of that.

Speaker 1:

Millie Bobby Brown.

Speaker 2:

Millie Bobby Brown is going to be on a porch in a rocking chair.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

With gray hair.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, when I was a youngin', yeah 11. We're going to be on 83.

Speaker 1:

Right, john Bon Jovi III, get on over here.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but they're not going to. Okay, yeah, sorry.

Speaker 1:

So I will say this I have never done it and I don't even know if it's a thing anymore, because I didn't research it that far.

Speaker 2:

What is?

Speaker 1:

it. I think I first saw it. I went with my husband to Malaysia in 2017, 2018.

Speaker 2:

You went to Malaysia.

Speaker 1:

In Malaysia? Yeah, yeah, I did, and we went to a mall there. You went to Malaysia, in Malaysia, yeah, yeah, I did, and we went to a mall there. Oh, is it? Oh, oh.

Speaker 2:

I know what you're going to say.

Speaker 1:

Fish pedicure Fish. They have it at Opry Mills. Okay, Well, do they still have it? Because now they're like the risks of fish pedicures. Well, I think the risk is in the name because it's a fish giving you a pedicure. First of all, you put your feet in a tank with a bunch of fish and they eat off.

Speaker 2:

Go to the beach.

Speaker 1:

Exfoliation. There are people. Yeah, get some salt scrub. What I'm saying is they chew. Uh-uh they eat the dead skin off. And then one lady was like I didn't know, but it damaged my nail beds or something.

Speaker 2:

What do you think was going to happen?

Speaker 1:

First of all, who can do that. I would think the percentage of people that could actually stand to do that without having a panic attack or passing out would be like .00004 out of the world.

Speaker 2:

Maybe that's why they're not doing it.

Speaker 1:

It's basically.

Speaker 2:

That's the grossest. They have it at Opry Mills and it's like in a shape of a square and there's all these fish tanks. Yeah, so, sorry, so, yeah, they have it set up. I almost spit my coffee out. They have it set up and it's right outside whatever Sun and Ski Probably yeah. It's funny because they're selling shoes right there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

All these people are just going to go bare naked feet.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, throw them in a tank In an aquarium. Do you know what kind?

Speaker 2:

of fungus. First, of all, first of all her old feet were just in them. And then you're just going to be like oh, she yanked her feet out. Those fish are still hungry.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, exactly, and then there's probably fish fungus. So you're in just a stagnant tank. Who came up with that? And then they replicated it in multiple places in the world Like, oh no, it's a thing.

Speaker 2:

No, no, no, it's not. First of all, if I want to do that, it's going to be in like a natural spring somewhere.

Speaker 1:

And I'm not intending for the fish to come nibble at my feet.

Speaker 2:

Right, but I would rather like some natural fish do it than some like some. You got at PetSmart just doing a taint took to the mall.

Speaker 1:

Where did we get in society where we had to invent? That Nobody in the 80s was like at Kmart. Going watch this, I'm going to put my feet in a goldfish tank.

Speaker 2:

Well, they may have done that.

Speaker 1:

They may have yeah.

Speaker 2:

The gross part is you can have Dippin' Dots.

Speaker 1:

You can just be eating. My stomach is growling. That sounded like a wolf in the distance.

Speaker 2:

But I don't know if you heard that howl, but that was fantastic.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, right it's time to eat.

Speaker 2:

Speaking of dipping dots? Yeah, but who's like eating fishing in front of your toes, Don't nobody see?

Speaker 1:

that at the mall.

Speaker 2:

It's gross.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, put it in a parking lot Right, the middle of the mall. Sometimes is borderline circus.

Speaker 2:

Oh it's crazy. Okay, kiosks we have derailed, here we go. So I was walking through Opry Mills. I talk about like I go there once a week, so I'm walking and I fall for the lotion guy, uh-uh.

Speaker 1:

They are aggressive.

Speaker 2:

Like Sebastian Maniscalco.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we know it's lotion. I've seen it, I got it.

Speaker 2:

So I'm walking and I'm like no not doing it, not doing it, and the guy goes come here, I got something for the eyes around your eyes.

Speaker 1:

And I was like what are you?

Speaker 2:

talking about Around my eyes. What are you trying to say? And then I'm like self-conscious I got crow's feet.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, do you want to say it out loud to my face? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So he just shamed me into coming over and I was like maybe I should go talk to him.

Speaker 1:

Oh no, Don't do it Next thing you know I got a bowl.

Speaker 2:

I'm rubbing my hands together. It's like it's all gritty and stuff. And he, my hands were the softest they've ever been.

Speaker 1:

Yeah because you just rubbed salt.

Speaker 2:

It was amazing, he was like feel that I was like yeah, that feels great and he's like you want to buy it. I was like no, I didn't want to do what I just did yeah um, but yeah, that is, I fall for it yeah, so let me tell you I was at aubrey mills about six years ago, same people oh, they don't go.

Speaker 1:

Lotion people are there forever came up to me and well, you can't see my hands, people, but like I have short nails, I probably need to moisturize my hands a little bit. I have an exfoliation, something I do at home, but treat yourself. Treat yourself for lots of times because you bought this tub of exfoliator at Target.

Speaker 2:

But, anyway.

Speaker 1:

So they go. Oh, you want a sample. And I was like no, I'm good, thanks. They're like oh, are you a nurse? And I was like what?

Speaker 2:

I think that's what they do. They shame you.

Speaker 1:

I was like, ok, first of all, all that's offensive to nurses, yeah, and if I was a nurse I'd be proud to be a nurse probably not smart enough to be one. And then, like I was all kind of just, I'm not a nurse.

Speaker 2:

But you're about to need one if you crack on my hands one more time do y'all do stitches?

Speaker 1:

yeah it, yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it, but the how can they degrade everybody?

Speaker 2:

I love it. You go to the mall like I'm gonna go I'm giving me a new outfit, I'm getting some shoes, feel better about myself.

Speaker 1:

And then people are like yeah, you're right, you got a little, some wrinkles.

Speaker 2:

You want to fix that. You're like. Well, I felt good when I left the house if you got a plastic surgeon.

Speaker 1:

they don't shame you like that. Yeah, you know they're like. We think you look great. If you want to do a little something, I don't like that. No, I don't, I want to have.

Speaker 2:

I think everybody should have this. I want to have like a. I bet you could just next time I see a Girl Scout selling cookies, I'm getting one. I want to get like a piece of paper from the clipboard.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Just one little sheet Pick your cookies and just always have it with me Some of those people bust out like you want some lotion.

Speaker 1:

You want some for your eyes.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to be like I'm so glad you stopped to talk. Would you like Thin Mints? Or if you just fill it out and they should be here in three months and I'll bring them back to your kiosk. Yeah, I would shut that down real quick. But I'm not putting my feet in a tank full of fish. I'll do the lotion thing all day before I let some.

Speaker 1:

To me that's kind of like fear factor.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean, I'm like you got paid to do it.

Speaker 1:

I just don't understand People are insane.

Speaker 2:

You could have a tank full of tarantulas and be like well, it's great for recovery and inflammation If you survive the bites.

Speaker 1:

I don't know. It's like a reset for your brain.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, mark Wahlberg does it at 430 in the morning. It's great People would do it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I can't do it.

Speaker 2:

I can't do it. I won't do it.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think they should get every kiosk out. Well, it's basically, it's just like a. It's like a fair Like you buy something there and somebody's talked about this before you buy something there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

It breaks whatever. They got me on the old school Nintendo I bought one at Auburn Mills. We're at the little kiosk and we go to old school and it's like got all the games Tecmo Bowl, all this stuff. Oh my gosh, get home. Well, the Tecmo Bowl they sold me is actually a bowling game called Tecmo Bowl. So the one I wanted, the football one, is not on there.

Speaker 1:

Uh-uh so.

Speaker 2:

I forget, we the next week. I'm just kidding, and they're gone.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh yeah, they've left. They're setting up in a different mall.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they didn't yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it is. It's kind of like the fair inside yeah.

Speaker 2:

You can't return nothing, no, no. And the whole walking up to you, yeah, it's like I can't stand it don't get up my face, man, like it's just, it's in my space, you know yeah I'm at the mall. Come here, you see me walking if I see you in the middle of the you're. You're in the way right now yeah so if I wanted to find you, it's not hard yeah, yeah yeah they don't do it as bad in Cool Springs.

Speaker 2:

I guess, yeah, I want to take one of them packets of lotion and just be like just lick it. So they hand it to me.

Speaker 1:

I'll just give it to somebody else.

Speaker 2:

Oh man, I'm trying to think of other treats yourself. That's all the ones I can think of.

Speaker 1:

Stretch sweat float Soak Freeze. Yeah right, that's all the ones I can think of.

Speaker 2:

Stretch sweat float soak freeze yeah right, massage, nails, hair, I would say tattoo, but I don't think that's treat yourself, because that's more like no that's just artwork, I guess, but yeah, no, I ain't doing that that's decor, that's oh, but I did. Yeah well, this is not self-care, but I said the word tattoo, so here's what I was thinking the other day. So I hate needles mainly like blood tests and shots.

Speaker 1:

I don't care because, yeah, look away bam. But yeah, blood tests.

Speaker 2:

I'm like so maybe I could do a tattoo. But but I was telling Robin the other day I was like wait a minute, why don't they just do like I had to get shoulder surgery?

Speaker 1:

Which I don't know why. That's hard to say for me. Say that fast yeah, you cannot.

Speaker 2:

Bunch of S's surgery. I had to get that a while back and I'm like okay, so you're under anyway, right.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, You're out. Just have the tattoo artist there.

Speaker 2:

Just be a tattoo artist, or removal either way at a hospital. So when somebody's getting a knee replacement or their appendix out, boom, you also wake up with that tattoo you were always afraid to get.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you're already on a little painkiller yeah.

Speaker 2:

That's brilliant. Knock it out, fix my shoulder.

Speaker 1:

When you go in for pre-op, you submit your design.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, throw that-on too for the hospital.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I could get more surgeries. I was like yeah, you know what I will get that fixed, I do need another colonoscopy and yeah, I'm going to do some shading on that, yeah. Can you fill that in and make the color a little more vibrant? Yeah, man.

Speaker 2:

Anyway.

Speaker 1:

No, that's a good combo.

Speaker 2:

That's self-care.

Speaker 1:

Yeah yeah. For some people, tattoos are self-care Piercings.

Speaker 2:

We didn't talk about that, but you could do. Yeah, do piercings while you're under.

Speaker 1:

I guess yeah.

Speaker 2:

Pierce like crazy. You don't feel nothing, you just wake up bam. Earrings, yeah, earring nose ring, eye barring, whatever. Yeah, I was scared to get earrings so I got back surgery.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, instead, anyway.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to ask him that next time I go.

Speaker 1:

I have to get put under. What about waxing?

Speaker 2:

I guess that's self-care.

Speaker 1:

It's more maintenance. But I will say this have you ever seen the videos of guys getting their back wax waxed?

Speaker 2:

I just remember steve carell like the bloopers where he's getting his chest waxed, yeah man people.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I've only ever gotten my eyebrows waxed this is back when I had enough eyebrows to get waxed and they're always like do you turn that red normally? And I'm like, oh yeah, and it's. It's there for hours, like I look crazy.

Speaker 2:

Have you seen the crazy people, the guys and they'll go, there's videos of it and they'll do their eyebrows their face no, they do the inside of their nose and they people go to rip it out. They'll do the inside of their ears Like everything.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, first of all, your nose hairs are there for a reason. Right, it's a filter. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Like for your HVAC, get you a trimmer buddy, go to Target. Yeah, costco's probably got one, yep.

Speaker 1:

Yep.

Speaker 2:

You know, just trim it a little bit.

Speaker 1:

Pull all the hair out of your nose, pull your brain out.

Speaker 2:

Put your head in a tank. Let some fish do it.

Speaker 1:

That's like a bad you lost a bed or it's a bad party trick or something. But I've seen where the guys have beards and stuff, but they want to wax all the rest, so they do the whole Just razor? Yeah, I don't know, man.

Speaker 2:

Some people just like paint.

Speaker 1:

I guess yeah, but like when you put that wax on and you have to yank it off.

Speaker 2:

Wax off. Yeah, they could do waxing. Yeah, that's what hospitals are missing the boat. Yeah, you get surgery, you get your shoulder fixed, you get that cool tattoo, you get a nose ring, yeah, and your back waxed, you got your belly button ring, you got waxed. Whatever you need to do.

Speaker 1:

Right back. You got your belly button ring, you got waxed, whatever you need to do right. Love it yeah also get a dip powder. And then you know, manny petty.
