Hey, it’s me Erin. Thanks for joining us on the Moor Love podcast. Do not tell Rebecca, but this podcast is about empathy. She likes people to think she’s dead inside. But the truth is, she’s a big time feeler who has truly helped me uncover that empathy is my superpower. Here she comes. Hey, bestie. Hi, love. What are you doing?
00;00;31;05 – 00;00;55;28
Unknown
Oh, just getting ready to host a podcast. A podcast about what? Our life. Our life as best friends who are more like sisters. Oh, yay, I love this, and I can’t wait to share our stories with the world. Especially the ones that involve us pushing each other right to be our most authentic selves. Oh, man. Okay.
00;00;56;00 – 00;01;14;19
Unknown
I have a weird empathy thing that came up the other day that I’m pretty positive you’ve never felt in your entire life, and I thought maybe I’d share it. Okay. I have a hard time throwing out an empty tube of toothpaste after the toothpaste is gone, because I feel bad that it has done its job and is no longer here with us.
00;01;14;20 – 00;01;37;11
Unknown
Okay. Very funny. Okay. I mean, well, that’s kind of the same as when I didn’t want to throw away the empty oil. Okay. That wouldn’t be complete. Oh, so it was more about the set, right? Mine is. We’ve been together a while. You know. And I have pushed that from the bottom and I’ve tried to get as much out of that but I’m never here.
00;01;37;15 – 00;01;57;08
Unknown
I just can’t say no now we’re here. I mean I tried to get as much out of it as possible. I feel like there’s always still some toothpaste left in the tube. And then I feel badly for that because that that had a purpose. So you’re not sure? You keep the top off and then would scrape on a tiny hat?
00;01;57;11 – 00;02;17;00
Unknown
No, because that would be out of the right. I’ve never thought about that. That’s never once occurred to me. Oh, I’ve never felt that way about the toothpaste, ever. You’re all done with the toothpaste, and you’re like, boop toss. Scott, sometimes I’m like, I don’t even like this toothpaste. Gone. Oh, boy. Yeah. Scott. Yeah. You ever had this?
00;02;17;02 – 00;02;41;05
Unknown
Never in my life have I ever even given toothpaste more of a thought than we’re out. Okay. More. Wow. I’m trying to think if there is. I still feel bad that I don’t buy the Cinnamon Crest toothpaste anymore because I love it so much, but it doesn’t make my breath feel fresh. And then I just don’t think it does what it’s supposed to do.
00;02;41;07 – 00;03;00;21
Unknown
And so then I feel badly that if I don’t buy it, no one will. And then the cinnamon toothpaste is going to go off the shelf. Jesus, that happened to the orange flavor that Marc really loved. We can’t get that anymore because not enough people bought it. Orange toothpaste. Yeah, it was an orange zest. That’s stupid. Well, he loved it.
00;03;00;23 – 00;03;18;19
Unknown
He loved him. Not anymore. I also felt that way about timbits at at Tim Hortons. The salted caramel timbits. I think I even have a Facebook post about it where I’m like, if these things go away, it’s not because of me. I did my part. The rest of you, I don’t know what you did, but I don’t think they would ever.
00;03;18;21 – 00;03;41;08
Unknown
So good. Gone. They’re gone. They’re not here anymore. They’re seasonal. No, they don’t. Never. They never came back. They never made a comeback. There’s no Tim Hortons. Still in business, John? Yeah. No one’s ever there. Especially in Canada. Well, maybe in Canada, but no one is ever at the Tim Hortons because the Dunkin Donuts on the street and the donuts line is always long.
00;03;41;08 – 00;03;58;05
Unknown
And I’m one of those people that it’s like, if I can’t get an I’m then Tim Burton sucks. Oh, you don’t like the taste? I don’t like anything about Tim Hortons. Oh. They also wanted to know if you want to butter with your cider. Oh, I know, but yeah, we out there. We were going through the drive thru one time because we were going to Canada.

00;05;56;00 – 00;06;14;09
Unknown
Do you remember we get into Canada and I’m like, Rebecca, what if this doesn’t work? What if you did it with you? How to enable international map and we didn’t. We are MapQuest and we don’t have the MapQuest directions. We don’t have cell. We were very and we couldn’t use cell phones. I can’t I remember. Oh yeah because it cost you extra.

Does that make a big cock cock ram road. So that was. Yes. And then we decided we needed to go to Timmy House because that’s the only thing there.

I said, I would like a hot apple cider, right? A blueberry muffin, blueberry muffin and butter. Could you please get some? Have some butter. But apparently all she heard was said, you want butter with your cider?

So we had so I get married. We have to go or no I get married, we open our wedding presents. I’m pretty sure Phillip and I didn’t open.
00;08;10;15 – 00;08;30;29
Unknown
I’m pretty sure Erin and I open up and we’re sitting there, and I got this one. I got a vase with the bamboo. And I think there’s something else with it. I’m ugly. I don’t remember. I don’t think so. Maybe it’s two faces with two bamboo. It made a bean and you’re in. You’re like, I think we can do better.
00;08;30;29 – 00;08;50;13
Unknown
So I think we, I think we looked online and we discovered it was from Ikea, and I’m pretty sure I never heard of Ikea. And we were like, oh my God, we have to stop. Do we stop? Let me tell you, there’s two versions of this podcast, okay. Is the version that really happened. And then there’s the fur versions immediately everybody tell us what I heard anyone say.

So what happened was she takes these racist. I do think you can still see them with, with the bamboo in. Yeah. This was back. Now this is 2008 when this was like a big deal. And she’s she’s moving these presidents aside and holds it up and just looks at me like this just glares at me with these.

Unknown
I said, what the fuck is that? She goes, it’s my bamboo, I see, why do you have bamboo stocks? Stop it! She said it was a gift. After winning them, I said, was there something else with it or was like that? That was it. The gift did she said, it’s that’s the gift. And I said, from where? I think the sticker on the bottom of it says Ikea, but I never heard of Ikea.

And looked up. Absolutely. And looked up what Ikea was. And then that’s when I realized we don’t have international GG.
00;10;32;24 – 00;10;56;07
Unknown
So I used my wedding money to buy the movie. Right? Splurge and to be for the international market for vases with the bamboo were what ultimately got us to go to Ikea for the first time. We were really thankful for that, and our goal was we were just going to go in and we were going to say, we’re going to get the money for this on a gift card, and then we’re going to go shopping and we’re going to, you know, we’re going to go on a shopping spree.
00;10;56;09 – 00;11;19;03
Unknown
Yeah. Was like, I think fancy. Yes. IKEA’s fancy NC, but also a little bit like cheap because the conversion rate. Oh yeah, we didn’t know when. I knew we were going to get more for our money. Like we thought Ikea was like this. But what I needed to clarify there was that would Woodrow inside. Aaron was like, mom, you know, maybe we could turn those in and see what else is there.
00;11;19;03 – 00;11;35;25
Unknown
That is not what Aaron said. Aaron is like, what the heck is that? Right? Right.

We don’t know what to do. We’re too far in at this point. And then it showed up and we celebrated. It was 1989. That’s right. Then we decided every time we see a Canadian flag. Yeah, we were going to say, oh, can it every time and every time we find a comedian. Frank. So we’re driving. Driving. We even saluted.
00;11;55;06 – 00;12;18;25
Unknown
I’m sure we did. I’m sure we saluted. Okay. And we tried to do it no matter what. No matter what. And somebody started with the, You just. Yeah. Just because they saw the flag value, that if someone was in the middle of a story, didn’t matter. Get it? Yeah. That was set, so I’m pretty sure we did it as we’re driving through, getting carded or whatever when you go to the customs.
00;12;18;25 – 00;12;35;26

And they didn’t like that. Yeah, they didn’t like that. Excuse me, sir, we have to do that. No, no, they they are not there for any of that. Correct. Correct.

If you get pulled over, you can never say we had this conversation and also hope they don’t look in the trunk. What is back there? Right. Oh my God. Ding ding ding. Don’t do it. So here I am. Did I still think about it?
00;22;02;24 – 00;22;26;20
Unknown
Sure I did, I thought to myself, 50 grand is a lot of money. I’m a very good driver. By chance of being pulled over is relatively low. But if I go to jail for being a drug mule. And John Halligan has to come to that place and bail me out, or, like, tell the courts, you know what happened here.
00;22;26;20 – 00;22;43;02

Unknown
And went skinny dipping. Okay. And somebody called the cops. Okay, okay. They didn’t like that. They didn’t like that. I don’t like that. They said the scale getting out. It was, it was not a good time. That’s my only story. One of my greatest accomplishments in life is never living in an apartment again. Oh.

No, not a good idea. So no, I was her babysitter and I had to pick her up from the hospital where she had had done. And they didn’t write. They didn’t tell me that she would be farting constantly. And we were dying. Dying, laughing. As the guys trying to explain protocol of what we need to do, the doctor sitting there going through all I keep saying, I shot her right.
00;24;39;04 – 00;24;57;12
Unknown
I have no control. He’s like. And he’s like, he’s fine because that’s fine, right? Very normal. So we are dying and she’s like on these drugs or whatever. So I finally we get her in the car, we get back to the dorm and I set her all up. And I basically like the rules were don’t leave her alone and don’t make any rash decisions.
00;24;57;14 – 00;25;14;03
Unknown
Those were the only two rules. Yeah. So I set her up nicely. I got to go to staff meetings. I’ll be back in an hour. So I leave her alone, go to the staff meeting, and I think she’s going to take him out. I come back. This bitch applied for three jobs and applied for an apartment, and I’m like, why not?
00;25;14;05 – 00;25;37;27
Unknown
She’s like, I’m going to get these jobs. I’m like, okay, so sure enough, she said, oh no. And and you submitted your, doctorate application? That’s right. That was ready to go. But we probably didn’t review it 30 times, but 25 wasn’t right. So she submitted that. And I’m like, okay, okay. So next week gets the job, gets the apartment, moves on with their life.
00;25;38;01 – 00;25;59;13
Unknown
Right. It’s accepted to the doctoral program. Exactly, exactly. So this was right after right after our Canadian trip? Yeah. When I had just gotten married and all this stuff. And, you were basically, I think I said to you, Phillip and I are considering getting pregnant, and you’re like, no, you’re not. That’s going to ruin my life. And so I’m pretty sure you did all of that.
00;25;59;13 – 00;26;21;08
Unknown
And then I announced my pregnancy. Yeah. And so we move you into the apartment over and where I live now. Yeah. And so we move y’all it again. This is so ironic, right? So we have all these past experiences we, I move you into pretty sure was just me and you who moved you into your apartment. Yeah. And you had Charles.
00;26;21;10 – 00;26;39;17
Unknown
Yes. At the time. Yeah. So we we decide we’re going to take apart the closet door. Yeah. To build a, like a cat litter box there, all these things. Right. So that is our closest to having cats. Okay. So we get her all set up. We get her in here. She does all the things she’s. Do you remember how proud we were?
00;26;39;17 – 00;26;55;01
Unknown
Oh, we got that door. That door. Oh we sure where we. That was that. That was the same day there some beers right. There are some beers. And that was the day we put on the booty shorts and put your. There was such a dildo. That was a different day. That was a different day, but same apartment, same apartment.
00;26;55;01 – 00;27;10;08
Unknown
But she was gushing about, I can’t handle both of these things in one day. It wasn’t to take off the closet doors and you’re like, this is this is that. I don’t think I can handle all these stories in one episode. But, you know, then she got so then when she bought the couch, I’m pretty sure your parents bought you the couch from Sears.
00;27;10;10 – 00;27;28;15
Unknown
And it was this very city. Okay, value city. She was getting it delivered. And so, of course, me and her and the booty shorts and we suction cup her different day. Her dildo a different day. But we still did this. We suction cup the dildo to the nightstand when the guys brought in the couch. Right? Sure did. So anyway, that’s that’s that apartment.
00;27;28;18 – 00;27;48;09
Unknown
So she. So I’m pregnant in the dorm, and I realized that I don’t want to have a baby in the dorm. You don’t want to do that, right? It’s not not a vibe, right? You get a different job, right? You get. You get a different job, and you buy a condo, right? And you say to me, I think this is all in our timeline.
00;27;48;11 – 00;28;11;17
Unknown
You say to me, I just bought a condo, I don’t know, I going to have to sublet my apartment. And I said, good news for you. I just got a job and I need an apartment. Yeah. So I we had Philip move into his apartment, so I got a I got a job, got pregnant, had to move into an apartment, and we bought a house all within a couple weeks of each other.
00;28;11;19 – 00;28;33;03
Unknown
And ironically, you were living a round the corner from the house. I bought a jet, two minute drive, two minute. So I said, this is perfect. I need your apartment. You give me your apartment. So I move into your apartment. We move you into your condo. Philip and I decide, well, since you’re pregnant, let’s gut our house and redo it while we don’t.
00;28;33;08 – 00;28;56;12
Unknown
Well, because we had to stay in our lease until, I think August, which was when Taylor was due anyway. So we do that, we’re redoing our house and Philip’s dad passes away unexpectedly while I’m pregnant and the whole thing. So it’s very sad. After the funeral, we go back to the apartment we’re subletting from you. You’re on the second floor.
00;28;56;14 – 00;29;17;21
Unknown
And he goes to have a cigaret and goes out onto the back deck and falls through the wooden stairs. That’s right in his suit. That’s right I remember. That’s right. He follows his leg right in there. Stairs. Right. And, and he fell right through the port, through the deck. His leg fell through and he had his suit on.
00;29;17;21 – 00;29;37;24
Unknown
Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah. And then do you remember when you, we took all of the cabinets off my kitchen and made you paint them? Oh, in my living room. Yeah. That was the worst times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, we never had kids in the apartment, but we shared numerous apartments. It’s really weird.
00;29;37;24 – 00;29;59;02
Unknown
This all start from me talking about the toothpaste. Wow. I don’t know how we got into it. Yeah I just, you know this is, this, is it that this episode I don’t even know anymore. I don’t even know. We lived in an apartment with, we had two kids, two little kids. There were a year and there were 13 months apart.
00;29;59;02 – 00;30;19;07
Unknown
So they were both in diapers. And, there was a there was a group of people that lived in the building next to us, but like, there they were next door, but it was a different building. And, we used to call them the clowns because there were like 150 of them living in this one, apartment. And they were all from Tennessee.
00;30;19;09 – 00;30;41;07
Unknown
Okay. And so, yeah. And so they would, they all got in and they were, they were really kind of it seemed like it was a mess. Then I’ll probably. Okay. Yeah. And that was, that was our that was that’s what started my decision to move out of Florida and come back up. Okay. Well, okay. A Florida apartment living I’m going to assume is different than New York part my apartment.
00;30;41;07 – 00;31;08;03
Unknown
I just from there are constant there, you know, constants. But yeah by you just saying Tennessee I just remembered that at this conference I was at last week, you know, you got all the vendors and were they’re amazing. The people in Maryland, specifically people from the PTA, are amazing human beings. Oh, very sweet, very loving community. They’re very much the the mindset of all of our children are all of our children.
00;31;08;05 – 00;31;30;09
Unknown
It’s not your children and my children. We need to protect all of our children. Well anyway, I’m one of the vendors in this group and it’s a it’s a low where all these attendees are at their sessions. And so this woman who’s sitting next to us who’s phenomenal, we got her contact information. She’s hilarious okay. And then it’s me and Renee and then it’s two other tables across from us and this one table across from us.
00;31;30;09 – 00;31;54;14
Unknown
I do not know how we got on this conversation, but she starts talking about when they talked to their children about reproduction and where babies came from. Actually, I think it was because the girl who was sitting next to me was saying that her eight year old had all these questions and that she could not dodge the questions because she would answer the question.
00;31;54;14 – 00;32;19;13
Unknown
And then the girl would ask a more in-depth question. And then she was like, I need a minute. I don’t, I don’t I’m not ready for this. Right? And so this woman who we think was from Alabama, okay, starts to say how she is told her daughters, wait, I have a question. Do you assume she is from Alabama because of the accent or are there other implications?
00;32;19;19 – 00;32;43;13
Unknown
Will you tell me after you hear the rest of the story? Okay, okay, so this is a very specific place. Well, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So this woman next to us is talking about how she had to take a baby, you know, and tell her daughter about where babies come from or whatever. And then the woman across from us starts to say, well, I had to have these conversations with my daughter as well.
00;32;43;13 – 00;33;11;27
Unknown
And thankfully, very, very early on in life, somehow the topic of a seed that grows in your belly came up as the, you know, the metaphor that we continued to use. And it was really beautiful because when someone would say, well, how did that baby get there? She would say, seeds, God plants seeds in your belly. And then those seeds grow and turn into into babies.
00;33;11;27 – 00;33;33;16
Unknown
That’s a yeast infection. And so she said, my daughter was always very fearful. Later on in life, she tells me that she was very fearful of like, was God going to pick me again? And she kind of puts, I’m not ready. Is the seed going to be? And he went, I mean, that’s your time. This is right. That’s me with not knowing.
00;33;33;21 – 00;34;07;24
Unknown
Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. So she’s going on and saying that like they talked about that. And then when she got her period you know they talked about that as another stage in the growing process and whatever. But what she said next, what cracks me up is that the woman next to me and Renee, when we’re accounting it like the next day, recounting it like talking about again, they go, at this moment, your energy shifted so hard that you just, like, grabbed your phone and turned your back to the conversation and did not participate anymore.
00;34;07;24 – 00;34;40;03
Unknown
You? Me? Okay, I said. Oh, I didn’t realize that. I’m sorry. I was not paying attention to that. I just I couldn’t participate in the conversation anymore. She goes on to say that for her daughter’s entire life, anything from the belly button down was referred to as her bottom. Oh, they never differentiated anything. Anything under her belly button as anything other than your bottom.
00;34;40;07 – 00;35;03;25
Unknown
Oh, boy. So where do babies come from? Your bottom? If you have to go to the bathroom, it comes from your bottom. When you get your period, it comes from your bottom, right. And that this, this girl through like the the point before she went on for who the hell knows where would constantly just think that this was called her bottom.
00;35;03;27 – 00;35;31;14
Unknown
And I guess at that point I was like, goodnight, Irene, I’m all out and I must have turned. And I was like, this is why we have a sex problem. Yeah, in this country, folks. Yeah, this is incredible. So something about you just saying Tennessee. So what do I do? I immediately text message Melissa Kelly, and I said you’d be losing your mind like my friend Melissa Kelly’s basically sex ed, but for her life, she’s been doing sex ed.
00;35;31;14 – 00;35;49;04
Unknown
She talks about sex ed with people. As I said, you would not have been able to participate in this conversation, how it was being talked about, how it was. But I’m like, what are we doing here? Scary. And then here’s the thing. So that when she gets pregnant someday, I know, right? And we’re like, she’s confused as hell.
00;35;49;04 – 00;36;11;10
Unknown
Get out about how this happens at the age of 15, right? It’s because no one educated her about her bottom. She thinks she’s going to shit out three years of corn. She thinks she she thinks she’s going to shit out three years of corn that God planted in her. You know, at some other point in life that she’s hoping doesn’t happen, but she just doesn’t know where you go knock on her door and say, hi, I’m God, I’m here to plant the seed.
00;36;11;10 – 00;36;48;09
Unknown
Come on. God, I mean, that’s disgusting. Scott, my name is God. I’m a farmer. She’s. Where’s my host? Oh, my God, it’s not okay. He’s he’s my. You know, I love making fun of the good. Okay, good. It’s not. It’s not good. And telling you. I’m telling you I’m not. Okay. But boy, could she play that banjo.
00;36;48;09 – 00;37;21;04
Unknown
Oh, like the heavens in my hand. Yeah, I can’t, I can’t I also can’t understand why people think if we use medical terms like penis and vagina. Oh, that my pearls. Yes. That is going to mean our kids are buying the black worm. Like I don’t understand. There’s a fine line between calling it a penis and fetching the black, but do you know what I mean?
00;37;21;04 – 00;37;38;14
Unknown
Like, I don’t understand why that is so that’s the taboo. It’s the classic theory that if you talk about it, you’re going to think it into existence for peep, and you’re going to become obsessed. I need to see a penis. I need to see a penis. I need to touch a penis. I need to know what it looks like.
00;37;38;16 – 00;37;56;20
Unknown
What if I say those words? Boom! I’m going to want to be sexually active. That’s because all the gays will make you gay. If I write anything, if I was told at six years old what a penis was, I would want to be as far away from it as possible, right? Correct. Think people think this way about drugs.
00;37;56;22 – 00;38;10;24
Unknown
If you talk to people about safe consumption of alcohol, that means I need to do it. I mean, if you need a drink, you’re on. Going out and doing that makes no sense to me. People with gambling addiction, you’re going to wonder, ooh, that’s interesting. I’m going to touch that water to see how I can go over here.
00;38;10;24 – 00;38;28;23
Unknown
I’m going to I’m going to fight. If I train you about how to use a condom. Right. You’re going to be like I’ve tried. I need to try it on all the sizes and shapes I need all day to pull down your pants. I need, you know what I mean? Look at. Look at all of those preachers. Look at all those evangelical preachers that, you know, preach all this stuff.
00;38;28;23 – 00;38;51;08
Unknown
And then one day they find him, you know, with a with a Mexican, young man in a motel six smoking meth and, you know, on a binge for six days, having unprotected anal sex. Yeah. Because they don’t know. Oh, my God. And everyone keeps talking about it. I gotta try this. Yeah, right. Yeah. Snap is so often sense, I know I can understand it.
00;38;51;08 – 00;39;12;18
Unknown
Oh, we, you know, don’t let your daughter use a tampon. She might want dick all the time. Yeah. Oh, my God, what the hurry. That’s okay. You you don’t even need to wait for me to identify what the highlight clip is for. That’s real. I just need you to have Rebecca saying that just that statement. Just nasty.
00;39;12;18 – 00;39;36;08
Unknown
All of a sudden, Rebecca shows up, and then the clip comes on and you’re like, don’t let your daughter use a tampon. She’s gonna want dick all the time. Boom. Marla podcast. That’s it. That’s no other conversation. That’s the clip. I mean, I know you did. Just tell me. Yeah, I think yeah, absolutely. We’re gonna have service. Stan, I know I it’s absolutely.
00;39;36;10 – 00;39;53;10
Unknown
I mean, I don’t know, Sawyer figure I bought a bunch of peaches and I put them in the fruit bowl, and she comes in, she goes, those look like butts. I know what do you think? People use the peach emoji and emojis for? She’s like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. And then you followed it up with you ever seen do you ever see the eggplant?
00;39;53;12 – 00;40;13;26
Unknown
I saw her, I mean, I know, I know, I don’t get it, I know I don’t get it. It’s, it’s it was fascinating. But the fact that I just apparently completely shut down and I didn’t even realize it, I was just like, this is not okay. And that was cool. We got to walk away again. I am neurodivergent.
00;40;13;26 – 00;40;30;23
Unknown
I’m going to tell you what I think about it. We go to walk away and I say, I can’t be around people who don’t add value to conversations when they open their mouth. And I know I can’t. God, you have to allow me to fail. You ever said no, I’m sorry, God, I can’t. But I know that that’s not where it’s coming from.
00;40;31;00 – 00;40;54;18
Unknown
But holy, why does that sound elitist? Oh yeah, it does. Why I have to walk away from someone doesn’t add value to this conversation. Her value was that everything below your your belly button was called the bottom. There’s no value. The bigger, the bigger concern is she’s an active participant in the education system. I know that’s the part that scary to me.
00;40;54;18 – 00;41;17;23
Unknown
I know I do not want that person having any conversation with my kid. You ask her how much she liked To Kill a mockingbird. Oh, that banned book. We don’t read that one. I, I can’t, I can’t it’s it’s it’s, You have to, you have to. But she was one of those people. You don’t ever feel this way about people.
00;41;17;23 – 00;41;34;28
Unknown
She’s one of those people that every time they go to open their mouth and say something, you’re like, this might be a this might be the time where they’re about to say something that I’m like, I took something from that. And then you’re just disappointed. You’re like, oh, that wasn’t it. Well, maybe it’s this time. Nope. Not that I almost had to work with one of those people.
00;41;35;01 – 00;41;59;14
Unknown
Joe, don’t talk about Joe like that out here. All righty. It’s. It’s good thing you gave Joe. Where is he? Can I see him? No, no, just. That’s all. Poor Joe. No. But mine. No, it’s a little radio person. Oh, well, my favorite is watching Erin’s face when she is near people like that. Because I’m just like, here’s the show, right here.
00;41;59;19 – 00;42;21;21
Unknown
Here’s the show. It’s going to be real good. And then, oh, she’ll follow up with a great idea. I yeah, I think we should have guests and shit that just, we’ll have just the air and space, the two way mirror. You know where where. Yeah. Where you just see like there are many cameras with with Aaron and, weirdo at what?
00;42;21;24 – 00;42;39;27
Unknown
What? Not a weirdo just there. Well, you need to check our text messages if we’re ever in certain meetings, and I’m like, you need to fix your face. I try to catch her, and I’m like. Or I send the private zoom, zoom thing that’s like, it’s not. It’s not it. You got to rewrite it. Okay. I can do it.
00;42;39;27 – 00;43;02;06
Unknown
I’m. I’m sorry. In that moment dying, that I, I’m like, this is this is not enough. I’ll teach you how to, trick people on zoom. So where you can just play a clip of your face looking interested and, you know, okay, like that and just loop that. Yeah. And then you could be off camera going, yeah, I’m gonna.
00;43;02;07 – 00;43;22;16
Unknown
Yeah. Just like, that’s CYA. I’m going to have to remember that one time we had that one conversation. What the hell was that guy? Oh, the guy for the bloodwork guy. Oh, my God, I don’t think we ever talked about this. Rebecca had a blood work consultation, and she called me about it. She called me into this blood work consultation.
00;43;22;16 – 00;43;40;25
Unknown
Wait, wait. We need to preface that no one is going to believe the stories we tell about me in my medical. I know, and the only reason they’re going to believe it is because you’re neurodivergent and you can’t like. I know, I can’t lie about that. No, immediately I can’t. We can’t you. But you were making this meeting coming up at 130 to discuss my blood results.
00;43;40;25 – 00;43;57;19
Unknown
Would you come with me to like you asked? Good question. Because what you said, I said, oh, I’m absolutely happy to. And oh, the other thing with Rebecca, though, one time she made me go to this one meeting, which was the one, with the elimination diet, we went to this one place. She’s like, oh, this is it.
00;43;57;19 – 00;44;15;22
Unknown
This is it right now. This is so great, I can’t wait. This is going to be it. It was a hormone battle. You walk in there for this hormone balance. We both take this assessment. We get in there, we’re sitting in separate chairs. The woman starts talking again. I can’t fix my face because I’m. I’m. You’re also a skeptic at heart, 100% right.
00;44;15;22 – 00;44;39;20
Unknown
I’m not. I don’t believe you. For the first one quarter of your entire conversation, right? Yeah. And then maybe we’ll get there. Yeah, but that’s how she is. I am looking at this woman, like, as she’s starting to say these kind of things. And I’m just assessing it hook, line and sinker. Here’s her point. Rewind to when she told the the LP that she didn’t have back again.
00;44;39;23 – 00;44;58;26
Unknown
What if I did it? Yeah, right I know, but you me taking an antiviral. You know what that is a smart approach to to medicine these days. I mean to anything in general. I will say that most of, I don’t I don’t want to say this. A lot of times there’s an agenda behind their diagnosis. Absolutely not.
00;44;58;26 – 00;45;22;20
Unknown
Just not just never conceived in any sort of see all these notions. It’s funny you say that sales tactic. You know what got me over the hump of being like, okay, this 100% isn’t shingles. Before I even left the office, she said, my father recently had a cluster of dots on his head and starts to explain what his experience was, and I was like, right there.
00;45;22;27 – 00;45;46;09
Unknown
It’s an over identification of acknowledgment that you just went through that experience, and now you’re going to see that another experience is that is that psychology all day. That’s why we see higher rates of certain diagnoses in the mental health profession. When certain things are happening in the environment, you start to hear, narcissism. Now you’re starting to hear narcissism.
00;45;46;09 – 00;46;09;04
Unknown
Everyone must be narcissistic, right? And now you start to hear about ADHD. Everybody’s got ADHD, right? And the reality is, yes, there’s some education that comes from that. But borderline personality is a great example of this. Not everyone who’s just, you know, a little bit difficult with boundaries or pushes the envelope or whatever has an actual personality disorder.
00;46;09;04 – 00;46;30;15
Unknown
Right? But we learn these words and see them, and then we start to see them all over the place. Phenomena we have to be aware of. Correct. But but the other component that would have also do it, I went through it. She didn’t ask any other person to come in to see you. Right, right. It call my guy with shingles in your eye.
00;46;30;21 – 00;46;49;06
Unknown
Yeah. Call my guy what you want. He had two other nurses and another doctor come in and they did. I mean it was a full body examination. And there was he would show they showed me pictures. Right. Like this is what’s going to happen. And it all made sense, right. Yeah. Yeah. You don’t, you know, that’s a that’s a serious thing.
00;46;49;06 – 00;47;10;10
Unknown
Right. But anyway so we go to the elimination diet. Here’s me the whole time I got my number wrote I’m supposed to be a hormone balance. Sorry. Yes. Correct. Appointment. Correct. And when then when it shifted. And so here’s me, you know, skeptical. This is interesting. We talked about it to a different balancing. But we now we’re talking about something very different.
00;47;10;10 – 00;47;30;11
Unknown
And here’s Rebecca right. Yeah. Oh this is great for our site. Swipe swipe left swipe. Sign me up. Sign me up. No I’m ready I didn’t do it. But I’m ready to do it. So right this this woman, she’s only talking to me now. Shifted the conversation to being like, well, you know, you’re going to cut out. And then the list of things you’re cutting out.
00;47;30;11 – 00;47;53;21
Unknown
I mean, we’re talking you ain’t even eat an olive oil like we are. We went down to nothing, right? Right. And so at this point, she looks over at me and Rebecca feels that. So she’s not looking at me, but because I wanted. So, for instance, Aaron, what are you thinking right now? And Rebecca’s like, do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
00;47;53;21 – 00;48;15;13
Unknown
And I said, I actually have a lot of questions about what’s happening right now. So I know we came in, we were going to talk about the hormone balancing. And I understand that there’s a couple different oils that can be taken or whatever. But really a lot of what you’re talking about right now just seems like extreme calorie restriction and an elimination diet, which don’t get me wrong, is great for a lot of people.
00;48;15;14 – 00;48;37;20
Unknown
But if we’re paying for this and it’s just an elimination diet, I have some questions about what it is that we’re doing. This woman realizes in this moment she’s not getting any further with this. Well, so what does she do? Turns right back to Rebecca, and she is just like a sales shark. It was just in there. Well, Rebecca, you know, do you experience this?
00;48;37;20 – 00;48;58;12
Unknown
Do you feel lethargic? Do you? Whatever. All the things. And now this woman doesn’t know, right. That it don’t matter what you have to say, honey. Because the minute we get in the car and I’m like, all done. Shut it down. Going to Chick-Fil-A, Rebecca’s like, okay, right, okay. That’s what we’re not going to do. All right. So this one, in fact, I’m pretty sure you said that I’m pretty sure you said we’re going to take a pause right here.
00;48;58;12 – 00;49;16;08
Unknown
Yeah. And we’ll get back to you with our decision. That’s right. Hey. And I and I feel every part of you, you’re just like, I just got to where I want to do. It’s so bad. I know just what was the price? I’m like $900. $1,000. She’s like, don’t worry, though, you can pay for it on your HSA, right?
00;49;16;11 – 00;49;39;00
Unknown
I can pay for it out of my asshole. And it’s still ain’t going to happen. Okay? Because this is under real. I know we get in the car and then you’re like, how do you think I want? I said, absolutely not. We’re not paying $1,000 for an elimination diet, and you have $1,000 to throw around. You give that shit to me and I’ll come over and be like, nope, nope, nope, can’t eat it.
00;49;39;01 – 00;50;04;21
Unknown
Not going to eat it, not going to eat it. So then fast forward to this bloodwork guy, to the bloodwork man. This just happened. Like she calls me back on the call, right? So we get on and this guy is personality. Oh dad a central Doug Central can’t tell at one point I can’t tell if it’s frozen. A computer froze or if he just lacked the ability to respond appropriately.
00;50;04;21 – 00;50;28;00
Unknown
Right. So I think I think I waved my arms and your face. That’s when that’s when you moved. And I couldn’t. I couldn’t get it. This is one of my classic faces where I’m just like, I. Right. Or then I’m like, I’m like, I’m like, here’s me waiting in anticipation. Are you going to say something else? Right?
00;50;28;00 – 00;50;46;02
Unknown
And you texted me immediately. Stop it with your face. Hi. Stop it with your face. And then he comes back on, because it must have been. And I said I didn’t know what happened there, sir. I said that I didn’t know if you just weren’t responding or whatever, because at some point he was like, tell me about yourself, Rebecca.
00;50;46;02 – 00;51;04;07
Unknown
And you’re like, you tell him this most beautiful story of yourself and then he’s like this. We couldn’t that’s that’s when we didn’t know if he was frozen or not or socially weird. It was a whole weird thing. And that’s your face. And I’m like, oh God, oh, God. Oh, God. Remember? And so we eventually get through all of that.
00;51;04;13 – 00;51;21;07
Unknown
And then the girl comes on, the salesgirl comes out, he keeps going. He keeps saying, right, so, Rebecca, what do you feel good about going with the what was it? It’s some peptides kept the peptides. And you said, well, I don’t know. The meeting just started. So I don’t really know, you know. Well I am definitely open to it.
00;51;21;07 – 00;51;38;17
Unknown
If you could tell me a little bit more, you know, and then he’s like, so then we test your blood. We do this, we do that, we do all these things. And so Rebecca, oh, would you be interested in going with the peptides today? And I’m like, I’m pretty sure that what you said is, this is, I’m getting punked.
00;51;38;20 – 00;52;10;26
Unknown
I have getting punked right now. I, I’m ready. Times am I getting dragged into now I’ve had the elimination diet. I know I had the poster board with the guy who I primary care whatever. Attend the primary care. Now I’m in here with Mr.. Her blood’s a lot peptide so that he gets off the sales lady comes out and she’s like but she’s he’s she’s she’s she’s she’s he says, well now I’m going to have, you know, Susie over here.
00;52;10;28 – 00;52;26;09
Unknown
Come in. She’s been on the call the whole time, but she’s going to run through all the pricing information with you, and you can ask her any questions. And you I put together this, this whole plan for you, where you can do this and this and this and all these things. And she’s going to run through that. So she brings it up.
00;52;26;09 – 00;52;46;02
Unknown
She’ll come to me. If there’s any changes to the plan, feel free to talk freely with her because, you know, it says goodbye. So she comes out and she’s like, are we adding on the the stem cell, the Sam style package? And I’m and I know immediately what that is, but I see your face and I can talk about no, he did not.
00;52;46;03 – 00;53;04;14
Unknown
I said, man, I need some more information about the stem cell package. We’ve not seen any prices yet. We’ve not seen any prices. Nothing. So she’s like, we got this and we get this. You get the coaching, you get this, you get the peptides, you get the and the blood results, the reviews, the coaching. And then would you guys be interested in nailing on the stem cell treatment.
00;53;04;17 – 00;53;29;16
Unknown
What’s that ma’am. Right. And I’m tired because I know what it is Scott, do you know what it is. What stem cell is? So. Yeah. Scott this is on. I know what stem cells are, but I don’t know how it relates to a story. Well, because it’s supposed to be a treatment plan because they did a full they did a full blood panel workup on me and saw where I was deficient, etc., and then gave it an option of treatment, let’s just call it that.
00;53;29;16 – 00;53;50;13
Unknown
And so you can grow a new pancreas or something basically, basically. So then she’s like, well reacting on the stem cell package and I’m like dying. This is her face. And I’m like, I go, Erin, do you know what that is? And I go, is it? And I jokingly said, yeah, it’s basically when you eat your placenta and it’s like, what?
00;53;50;13 – 00;54;18;24
Unknown
And she’s like, well, kind of. She’s like, this is how the woman explains it. This is how she explains it. No joke. Word for word, right? Do you know what the celebrity is? You know, there’s a lot of celebrities that do this stem cell, you know, Stem replacement where they spend about $100,000. And what they do is they basically get recycled blood from other babies, and then they flush out their blood, and they recycle it with the umbilical, umbilical cord blood from from all of these different babies.
00;54;19;00 – 00;54;53;11
Unknown
It costs about a $100,000, she says. But you know what? But we’re not all we’re not all super. You know, rich celebrities, right? And so this is the program for people, you know, that are more like us, the average, the average, but we don’t have the $100,000 to spend on that. So instead of doing full on blood transfusions, we take some of the stem cells from the, the, the and sometimes there are some people who have given birth and don’t want their kids, given birth and have not kept their own.
00;54;53;13 – 00;55;12;22
Unknown
And then we’re going to take that, and we’re going to infuse that into your own blood to stimulate more platelet and whatever. That’s a hell of a job. There’s a guy making 15, 50 an hour going from maternity ward to maternity ward. Hey, can I have your placenta? So I’ll give you 20 bucks for it. So I say, what did I say?
00;55;12;22 – 00;55;34;13
Unknown
So what? So I’m going to have to have Jerome’s blood count at me. And she goes, what? And I go, yeah, Jerome. So you’re going to take Jerome’s umbilical cord from Jerome’s mom and Jerome’s mom’s like, yeah, sure, you can have it. And this is Eric’s mates and she is dying. She’s like, what? And Aaron’s like, I gotta go through this.
00;55;34;13 – 00;56;01;19
Unknown
I said, did you just say Jerome? Yeah. And you said, yeah. And I said, now I need a minute, right. Are we talking about other moms? Yes. And they’re babies. This is not like I kept my cord blood. This is her taking it. Mom, are you gonna use that? Right? Could I borrow Jerome’s right blood cell? Whatever this woman straight face says.
00;56;01;27 – 00;56;25;04
Unknown
Yeah, yeah, that’s what we do. I. My ears, my hands. Like I am getting stopped by the police. I said, ma’am, this is too damn much for me. This this just put me right over the edge. No, we are not interested in that. Well no no, no, she she goes well, let me just share with you the pricing.
00;56;25;04 – 00;56;39;21
Unknown
And she goes in and she changes the, the name from platelet blood cell count, whatever. What does she call it? Jerome’s. Jerome’s. Jerome donation Jerome donation.
00;56;39;23 – 00;57;03;07
Unknown
And then, you know, they show you at the very top like the like, oh, this is how much this costs and that costs. And I’m like, scroll to the bottom right, scroll all the way to the bottom. How much was the package for three months? $35,000. Oh yeah, of course. But then she’s like, but we could take the stem cell transplant out and then it would only be 15 to 20.
00;57;03;07 – 00;57;26;15
Unknown
Yeah. Something can dying at this point. At this point I, I’m like, how do I get drawn in to these things with her. And all I want to do? I think that’s exactly what I said to you when we got off the phone. So you basically very kindly say, well, I’m going to have to think about it. You know, I do review this with my husband.
00;57;26;15 – 00;57;53;03
Unknown
Come back around, you know, to you, there ain’t no way, no way that this is happening. So the minute we get off the phone, I call you and you’re like, why aren’t you talking? I said, I, I need a minute right now. Number one, can you please stop bringing me into these conversations where we’re doing. I didn’t think it was going to be like, have you hippie vu medical?
00;57;53;03 – 00;58;19;13
Unknown
I know treatments for 35 grand. And then number two, if ever anyone ever talks to me about some cord blood infusion being infused into my own blood to help me create, I’m all done. Regenerative. I am regenerative. That is unreal. And so then I am like, so you mean to tell me that those celebrities, you know, paying 100 grand, but you over here drop in ten grand.
00;58;19;18 – 00;58;43;22
Unknown
It joke’s on you guys, you know? No, because it’s it’s, it’s probably instead of instead of drying you up like a raisin and putting all new blood injected babies. Yeah, yeah, well, these are third world babies. They’re cheaper. Yeah. That’s right, I can’t I she gets me in these things all the time. Next on More Love. It’s transplants.

Like to feel better? I said Aaron’s going to have to talk. Ha ha ha. So weird. Yeah, yeah. For you or for me?

Scott and I have been laughing about it for a week since the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen in my life, so it’s going to have to be next, right? Well, as soon as we’re done with this, we’re watching all those Instagram Instagrams you sent me because they are.
00;59;34;26 – 00;59;54;00
Unknown
They are things we cannot talk about on this planet. Oh, so read us. Read us here, hippie vu, and I’ll take us out with you to this I did. This is the Hanged Man. And I’ve got a frog hanging on by a thread. Yeah, hanging on by a thread. All right. Sources say that you’re in an impasse in some areas of your life.
00;59;54;02 – 01;00;18;00
Unknown
Kind of like reaching a dead end of a maze. The best course of action is inaction in other words, try not to keep walking into the same wall over and over again, because. Ouch! Surrender. Turn around and try a different path. This is the gift of arms ended up ended this completely fresh perspective. If you felt stuck hard, stagnant, the key might be looking at things with a brand new baby dinosaur.
01;00;18;00 – 01;00;43;01
Unknown
I. Once you do, you’ll soon be skipping through life’s never ending maze again. It’s so fun, right? I can’t. Here’s your affirmation I free myself of ego and admit there’s got to be a better way. I don’t know what it is yet, but I bet when I find it or. But I bet I will find it. But I bet I will when I find it, because, well, things will work out, whatever it’s got.
01;00;43;01 – 01;01;07;11
Unknown
Did you get any of that haiku? I swear, it’s basically for someone. For someone who reads a lot of books, I don’t know, did you get any of that? Scott I got, I seriously, I can’t, I just didn’t I don’t you ask me, baby. Nice or maybe I heard baby dinosaur right. But then after that I was like, turn around and try a different path.
01;01;07;11 – 01;01;26;10
Unknown
It’s saying don’t, is it? Keep repeating the same thing over and over again. If you’re feeling stuck, right, like going to a doctor’s appointment with your best friends. Yeah, we’re we’re all done with that. I’m all done seeking. Seeking anything. You know what the problem is? Lyme disease. Read the damn book. That’s right. That’s the solution to everything.
01;01;26;10 – 01;01;50;00
Unknown
So, this is what’s going to take us out today. I know that I am the only person who can bring forth the creativity that lives in my body. I am magic, that’s it, that’s it. I hear me roar. Get it? I loved that. Me too. Isn’t empathy amazing? Well, we’re amazing. I don’t know about all this empathy stuff.
01;01;50;07 – 01;02;18;09

Unknown
Hey, it’s me Erin. Thanks for joining us on the Moor Love podcast. Do not tell Rebecca, but this podcast is about empathy. She likes people to think she’s dead inside. But the truth is, she’s a big time feeler who has truly helped me uncover that empathy is my superpower. Here she comes. Hey, bestie. Hi, love. What are you doing?
00;00;31;05 – 00;00;55;28
Unknown
Oh, just getting ready to host a podcast. A podcast about what? Our life. Our life as best friends who are more like sisters. Oh, yay, I love this, and I can’t wait to share our stories with the world. Especially the ones that involve us pushing each other right to be our most authentic selves. Oh, man. Okay.
00;00;56;00 – 00;01;14;19
Unknown
I have a weird empathy thing that came up the other day that I’m pretty positive you’ve never felt in your entire life, and I thought maybe I’d share it. Okay. I have a hard time throwing out an empty tube of toothpaste after the toothpaste is gone, because I feel bad that it has done its job and is no longer here with us.
00;01;14;20 – 00;01;37;11
Unknown
Okay. Very funny. Okay. I mean, well, that’s kind of the same as when I didn’t want to throw away the empty oil. Okay. That wouldn’t be complete. Oh, so it was more about the set, right? Mine is. We’ve been together a while. You know. And I have pushed that from the bottom and I’ve tried to get as much out of that but I’m never here.
00;01;37;15 – 00;01;57;08
Unknown
I just can’t say no now we’re here. I mean I tried to get as much out of it as possible. I feel like there’s always still some toothpaste left in the tube. And then I feel badly for that because that that had a purpose. So you’re not sure? You keep the top off and then would scrape on a tiny hat?
00;01;57;11 – 00;02;17;00
Unknown
No, because that would be out of the right. I’ve never thought about that. That’s never once occurred to me. Oh, I’ve never felt that way about the toothpaste, ever. You’re all done with the toothpaste, and you’re like, boop toss. Scott, sometimes I’m like, I don’t even like this toothpaste. Gone. Oh, boy. Yeah. Scott. Yeah. You ever had this?
00;02;17;02 – 00;02;41;05
Unknown
Never in my life have I ever even given toothpaste more of a thought than we’re out. Okay. More. Wow. I’m trying to think if there is. I still feel bad that I don’t buy the Cinnamon Crest toothpaste anymore because I love it so much, but it doesn’t make my breath feel fresh. And then I just don’t think it does what it’s supposed to do.
00;02;41;07 – 00;03;00;21
Unknown
And so then I feel badly that if I don’t buy it, no one will. And then the cinnamon toothpaste is going to go off the shelf. Jesus, that happened to the orange flavor that Marc really loved. We can’t get that anymore because not enough people bought it. Orange toothpaste. Yeah, it was an orange zest. That’s stupid. Well, he loved it.
00;03;00;23 – 00;03;18;19
Unknown
He loved him. Not anymore. I also felt that way about timbits at at Tim Hortons. The salted caramel timbits. I think I even have a Facebook post about it where I’m like, if these things go away, it’s not because of me. I did my part. The rest of you, I don’t know what you did, but I don’t think they would ever.
00;03;18;21 – 00;03;41;08
Unknown
So good. Gone. They’re gone. They’re not here anymore. They’re seasonal. No, they don’t. Never. They never came back. They never made a comeback. There’s no Tim Hortons. Still in business, John? Yeah. No one’s ever there. Especially in Canada. Well, maybe in Canada, but no one is ever at the Tim Hortons because the Dunkin Donuts on the street and the donuts line is always long.
00;03;41;08 – 00;03;58;05
Unknown
And I’m one of those people that it’s like, if I can’t get an I’m then Tim Burton sucks. Oh, you don’t like the taste? I don’t like anything about Tim Hortons. Oh. They also wanted to know if you want to butter with your cider. Oh, I know, but yeah, we out there. We were going through the drive thru one time because we were going to Canada.

Unknown
Do you remember we get into Canada and I’m like, Rebecca, what if this doesn’t work? What if you did it with you? How to enable international map and we didn’t. We are MapQuest and we don’t have the MapQuest directions. We don’t have cell. We were very and we couldn’t use cell phones. I can’t I remember. Oh yeah because it cost you extra.

Maybe it’s two faces with two bamboo. It made a bean and you’re in. You’re like, I think we can do better.

Unknown
So I used my wedding money to buy the movie. Right? Splurge and to be for the international market for vases with the bamboo were what ultimately got us to go to Ikea for the first time. We were really thankful for that, and our goal was we were just going to go in and we were going to say, we’re going to get the money for this on a gift card, and then we’re going to go shopping and we’re going to, you know, we’re going to go on a shopping spree.

Just because they saw the flag value, that if someone was in the middle of a story, didn’t matter. Get it? Yeah. That was set, so I’m pretty sure we did it as we’re driving through, getting carded or whatever when you go to the customs.

00;17;43;01 – 00;18;02;00
Unknown
And, I got to a delirious point where she just would not stop talking. And then I don’t know what happened next, but I just remember that she’s like. So last night I was in the midst of talking about something she said, that’s like I said, we have to watch it because I knew if we weren’t talking, there was a chance would fall asleep and then it’d be pissed that I would fall asleep.
00;18;02;03 – 00;18;18;28
Unknown
That’s what you were worried about. You’re wide awake. It was like you had just had a cappuccino or something five minutes before. I don’t sleep is incredibly. And you were anxious because you were just, like, sleeping somewhere else. That was at the same time we went into the jaws of scary Dungeon. Nope. That was a different time. That’s one.

And then whenever it got hot, you would always smell anal gland in the back of the civic. Sure did. And so that we would always make sure that that’s the same car that I’m pretty sure in your, Audi parking spot.

And the kid who lived next door to me, by the way, part. Everybody know Joseph Sevilla. But does everybody know that? Ironically, I lived in the Meadows when we didn’t know each other, I did.

Unknown
You moved into my I know, same exact. I know that’s what. Yeah. Classic. A class where an example of swear to God. Remember? And then we almost met each other. An apropos looking for a dress back in destined. We bought. We bought our dresses at the same place in a totally different town that no one lives near. There was a kid who was next to me at the Meadows, and he was a part of Saint Joseph’s.
00;19;37;15 – 00;19;54;10
Unknown
Was the same one that after you, 50 grand to drive across? Nope. That was a different guy. Okay, so. So this guy, he was a delinquent. He was a juvenile delinquent. And he must have gotten real mad at his mom. And I always parked in the number one parking spot next to where the door was to get into the apartment.
00;19;54;11 – 00;20;12;10
Unknown
That’s why I’m here. I am a mental health counselor going to school, you know, whatever. And I come out to my car the next day and it it written in my car, incomplete, keyed along the side of my car. It says, fuck, fuck. It went. It went from the front of the car to the to the back of the car.
00;20;12;10 – 00;20;31;09
Unknown
It crossed the door. It crossed. They had to do all three pair. It was. And I already knew. It says fuck across my door because I immediately knew that it was that kid. But like, there’s no cameras in that time and there was no way. But who the heck else was going to do that, right? So here I am driving to campus.
00;20;31;14 – 00;21;01;05
Unknown
Here’s my car. I would like to see if for some therapy, my car says, fuck, fuck, it’s fine, totally fine. Then there was another guy when I lived there. Ian. Oh, and Ian had a cat named Booter. Oh, and Ian came over to my apartment and offered me $50,000. Oh, that’s the guy to drive a car from New York State to some place in was a California.
00;21;01;08 – 00;21;22;13
Unknown
It was some other. I didn’t know you then and now here. You can’t hit me with that because it’s the seat. Did you want to do this? Seat is. Oh, I’m neurodivergent. I see that as a financial opportunity. Okay, so, like you, you’re really taking advantage of me here. This is not okay. And then, I think enough.
00;21;22;13 – 00;21;43;05
Unknown
This is one Dallas moments where, like, your parents come into play and you were like, if if my dad was here right now, what would he be thinking? My dad would ask some more questions. So I’m like, why? Well, what are what are we bringing? What what is so important that we’re bringing the $50,000? Oh, no, you’re not bringing $50,000.
00;21;43;05 – 00;22;02;24
Unknown
Well, what am I bringing? Wow. We’re not really going to get into that. But just here’s the thing. If you get pulled over, you can never say we had this conversation and also hope they don’t look in the trunk. What is back there? Right. Oh my God. Ding ding ding. Don’t do it. So here I am. Did I still think about it?
00;22;02;24 – 00;22;26;20
Unknown
Sure I did, I thought to myself, 50 grand is a lot of money. I’m a very good driver. By chance of being pulled over is relatively low. But if I go to jail for being a drug mule. And John Halligan has to come to that place and bail me out, or, like, tell the courts, you know what happened here.
00;22;26;20 – 00;22;43;02
Unknown
He ain’t coming. He come in and then I’m the girl who was in the master’s counseling program with fucksake written on her car, who also ended up going to jail because she was a drug mule and really was like, oh yeah, she didn’t know. I swear, guys, I didn’t know. I just thought this was the thing.
00;22;43;02 – 00;22;58;07
Unknown
Yeah, that doesn’t work in court. I said, no, yeah. I said, I don’t think this is an opportunity for me. Thanks for thinking of me. Can I play here, cat? Try so-and-so down the street. Yeah, right. Yeah. You know, the guy next door to get a story is a juvenile delinquent. I don’t know if he has his license yet, but he’s not.
00;22;58;07 – 00;23;13;01
Unknown
He’s not bored. My only care. My only. You should have just got in the car and drove over the police station, say, hey. So this guy. Yeah, he gave me. Just wants to give me 50 grand to drive this car to California. What’s in the trunk? He said, don’t look in the trunk. There’s something in the trunk.
00;23;13;01 – 00;23;39;12
Unknown
I’ll give you his name. Right? Or better yet, better yet. Excuse me, Mr. Policeman. I have something in my car that I will share with you for 75 grand, right? Yeah. That’s a good. That’s not a good idea. See how this goes? Not a good idea. My only story of the Meadows is, A bunch of us get super drunk one night and scaled the fence around the pool.
00;23;39;14 – 00;23;57;03
Unknown
And went skinny dipping. Okay. And somebody called the cops. Okay, okay. They didn’t like that. They didn’t like that. I don’t like that. They said the scale getting out. It was, it was not a good time. That’s my only story. One of my greatest accomplishments in life is never living in an apartment again. Oh.
00;23;57;06 – 00;24;12;25
Unknown
Oh I love living in an apartment. Apartment living was. Did you ever have kids and live in an apartment? No, but we did have Aaron’s cat. So when Aaron moved out of. So Aaron took a Aaron had a colonoscopy, and we were just talking about that. So Aaron had a colonoscopy, and I was her babysitter. Not a good idea.
00;24;12;25 – 00;24;39;04
Unknown
No, not a good idea. So no, I was her babysitter and I had to pick her up from the hospital where she had had done. And they didn’t write. They didn’t tell me that she would be farting constantly. And we were dying. Dying, laughing. As the guys trying to explain protocol of what we need to do, the doctor sitting there going through all I keep saying, I shot her right.
00;24;39;04 – 00;24;57;12
Unknown
I have no control. He’s like. And he’s like, he’s fine because that’s fine, right? Very normal. So we are dying and she’s like on these drugs or whatever. So I finally we get her in the car, we get back to the dorm and I set her all up. And I basically like the rules were don’t leave her alone and don’t make any rash decisions.
00;24;57;14 – 00;25;14;03
Unknown
Those were the only two rules. Yeah. So I set her up nicely. I got to go to staff meetings. I’ll be back in an hour. So I leave her alone, go to the staff meeting, and I think she’s going to take him out. I come back. This bitch applied for three jobs and applied for an apartment, and I’m like, why not?
00;25;14;05 – 00;25;37;27
Unknown
She’s like, I’m going to get these jobs. I’m like, okay, so sure enough, she said, oh no. And and you submitted your, doctorate application? That’s right. That was ready to go. But we probably didn’t review it 30 times, but 25 wasn’t right. So she submitted that. And I’m like, okay, okay. So next week gets the job, gets the apartment, moves on with their life.
00;25;38;01 – 00;25;59;13
Unknown
Right. It’s accepted to the doctoral program. Exactly, exactly. So this was right after right after our Canadian trip? Yeah. When I had just gotten married and all this stuff. And, you were basically, I think I said to you, Phillip and I are considering getting pregnant, and you’re like, no, you’re not. That’s going to ruin my life. And so I’m pretty sure you did all of that.
00;25;59;13 – 00;26;21;08
Unknown
And then I announced my pregnancy. Yeah. And so we move you into the apartment over and where I live now. Yeah. And so we move y’all it again. This is so ironic, right? So we have all these past experiences we, I move you into pretty sure was just me and you who moved you into your apartment. Yeah. And you had Charles.
00;26;21;10 – 00;26;39;17
Unknown
Yes. At the time. Yeah. So we we decide we’re going to take apart the closet door. Yeah. To build a, like a cat litter box there, all these things. Right. So that is our closest to having cats. Okay. So we get her all set up. We get her in here. She does all the things she’s. Do you remember how proud we were?
00;26;39;17 – 00;26;55;01
Unknown
Oh, we got that door. That door. Oh we sure where we. That was that. That was the same day there some beers right. There are some beers. And that was the day we put on the booty shorts and put your. There was such a dildo. That was a different day. That was a different day, but same apartment, same apartment.
00;26;55;01 – 00;27;10;08
Unknown
But she was gushing about, I can’t handle both of these things in one day. It wasn’t to take off the closet doors and you’re like, this is this is that. I don’t think I can handle all these stories in one episode. But, you know, then she got so then when she bought the couch, I’m pretty sure your parents bought you the couch from Sears.
00;27;10;10 – 00;27;28;15
Unknown
And it was this very city. Okay, value city. She was getting it delivered. And so, of course, me and her and the booty shorts and we suction cup her different day. Her dildo a different day. But we still did this. We suction cup the dildo to the nightstand when the guys brought in the couch. Right? Sure did. So anyway, that’s that’s that apartment.
00;27;28;18 – 00;27;48;09
Unknown
So she. So I’m pregnant in the dorm, and I realized that I don’t want to have a baby in the dorm. You don’t want to do that, right? It’s not not a vibe, right? You get a different job, right? You get. You get a different job, and you buy a condo, right? And you say to me, I think this is all in our timeline.
00;27;48;11 – 00;28;11;17
Unknown
You say to me, I just bought a condo, I don’t know, I going to have to sublet my apartment. And I said, good news for you. I just got a job and I need an apartment. Yeah. So I we had Philip move into his apartment, so I got a I got a job, got pregnant, had to move into an apartment, and we bought a house all within a couple weeks of each other.
00;28;11;19 – 00;28;33;03
Unknown
And ironically, you were living a round the corner from the house. I bought a jet, two minute drive, two minute. So I said, this is perfect. I need your apartment. You give me your apartment. So I move into your apartment. We move you into your condo. Philip and I decide, well, since you’re pregnant, let’s gut our house and redo it while we don’t.
00;28;33;08 – 00;28;56;12
Unknown
Well, because we had to stay in our lease until, I think August, which was when Taylor was due anyway. So we do that, we’re redoing our house and Philip’s dad passes away unexpectedly while I’m pregnant and the whole thing. So it’s very sad. After the funeral, we go back to the apartment we’re subletting from you. You’re on the second floor.
00;28;56;14 – 00;29;17;21
Unknown
And he goes to have a cigaret and goes out onto the back deck and falls through the wooden stairs. That’s right in his suit. That’s right I remember. That’s right. He follows his leg right in there. Stairs. Right. And, and he fell right through the port, through the deck. His leg fell through and he had his suit on.
00;29;17;21 – 00;29;37;24
Unknown
Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah. And then do you remember when you, we took all of the cabinets off my kitchen and made you paint them? Oh, in my living room. Yeah. That was the worst times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, we never had kids in the apartment, but we shared numerous apartments. It’s really weird.
00;29;37;24 – 00;29;59;02
Unknown
This all start from me talking about the toothpaste. Wow. I don’t know how we got into it. Yeah I just, you know this is, this, is it that this episode I don’t even know anymore. I don’t even know. We lived in an apartment with, we had two kids, two little kids. There were a year and there were 13 months apart.
00;29;59;02 – 00;30;19;07
Unknown
So they were both in diapers. And, there was a there was a group of people that lived in the building next to us, but like, there they were next door, but it was a different building. And, we used to call them the clowns because there were like 150 of them living in this one, apartment. And they were all from Tennessee.
00;30;19;09 – 00;30;41;07
Unknown
Okay. And so, yeah. And so they would, they all got in and they were, they were really kind of it seemed like it was a mess. Then I’ll probably. Okay. Yeah. And that was, that was our that was that’s what started my decision to move out of Florida and come back up. Okay. Well, okay. A Florida apartment living I’m going to assume is different than New York part my apartment.
00;30;41;07 – 00;31;08;03
Unknown
I just from there are constant there, you know, constants. But yeah by you just saying Tennessee I just remembered that at this conference I was at last week, you know, you got all the vendors and were they’re amazing. The people in Maryland, specifically people from the PTA, are amazing human beings. Oh, very sweet, very loving community. They’re very much the the mindset of all of our children are all of our children.
00;31;08;05 – 00;31;30;09
Unknown
It’s not your children and my children. We need to protect all of our children. Well anyway, I’m one of the vendors in this group and it’s a it’s a low where all these attendees are at their sessions. And so this woman who’s sitting next to us who’s phenomenal, we got her contact information. She’s hilarious okay. And then it’s me and Renee and then it’s two other tables across from us and this one table across from us.
00;31;30;09 – 00;31;54;14
Unknown
I do not know how we got on this conversation, but she starts talking about when they talked to their children about reproduction and where babies came from. Actually, I think it was because the girl who was sitting next to me was saying that her eight year old had all these questions and that she could not dodge the questions because she would answer the question.
00;31;54;14 – 00;32;19;13
Unknown
And then the girl would ask a more in-depth question. And then she was like, I need a minute. I don’t, I don’t I’m not ready for this. Right? And so this woman who we think was from Alabama, okay, starts to say how she is told her daughters, wait, I have a question. Do you assume she is from Alabama because of the accent or are there other implications?
00;32;19;19 – 00;32;43;13
Unknown
Will you tell me after you hear the rest of the story? Okay, okay, so this is a very specific place. Well, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So this woman next to us is talking about how she had to take a baby, you know, and tell her daughter about where babies come from or whatever. And then the woman across from us starts to say, well, I had to have these conversations with my daughter as well.
00;32;43;13 – 00;33;11;27
Unknown
And thankfully, very, very early on in life, somehow the topic of a seed that grows in your belly came up as the, you know, the metaphor that we continued to use. And it was really beautiful because when someone would say, well, how did that baby get there? She would say, seeds, God plants seeds in your belly. And then those seeds grow and turn into into babies.
00;33;11;27 – 00;33;33;16
Unknown
That’s a yeast infection. And so she said, my daughter was always very fearful. Later on in life, she tells me that she was very fearful of like, was God going to pick me again? And she kind of puts, I’m not ready. Is the seed going to be? And he went, I mean, that’s your time. This is right. That’s me with not knowing.
00;33;33;21 – 00;34;07;24
Unknown
Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. So she’s going on and saying that like they talked about that. And then when she got her period you know they talked about that as another stage in the growing process and whatever. But what she said next, what cracks me up is that the woman next to me and Renee, when we’re accounting it like the next day, recounting it like talking about again, they go, at this moment, your energy shifted so hard that you just, like, grabbed your phone and turned your back to the conversation and did not participate anymore.
00;34;07;24 – 00;34;40;03
Unknown
You? Me? Okay, I said. Oh, I didn’t realize that. I’m sorry. I was not paying attention to that. I just I couldn’t participate in the conversation anymore. She goes on to say that for her daughter’s entire life, anything from the belly button down was referred to as her bottom. Oh, they never differentiated anything. Anything under her belly button as anything other than your bottom.
00;34;40;07 – 00;35;03;25
Unknown
Oh, boy. So where do babies come from? Your bottom? If you have to go to the bathroom, it comes from your bottom. When you get your period, it comes from your bottom, right. And that this, this girl through like the the point before she went on for who the hell knows where would constantly just think that this was called her bottom.
00;35;03;27 – 00;35;31;14
Unknown
And I guess at that point I was like, goodnight, Irene, I’m all out and I must have turned. And I was like, this is why we have a sex problem. Yeah, in this country, folks. Yeah, this is incredible. So something about you just saying Tennessee. So what do I do? I immediately text message Melissa Kelly, and I said you’d be losing your mind like my friend Melissa Kelly’s basically sex ed, but for her life, she’s been doing sex ed.
00;35;31;14 – 00;35;49;04
Unknown
She talks about sex ed with people. As I said, you would not have been able to participate in this conversation, how it was being talked about, how it was. But I’m like, what are we doing here? Scary. And then here’s the thing. So that when she gets pregnant someday, I know, right? And we’re like, she’s confused as hell.
00;35;49;04 – 00;36;11;10
Unknown
Get out about how this happens at the age of 15, right? It’s because no one educated her about her bottom. She thinks she’s going to shit out three years of corn. She thinks she she thinks she’s going to shit out three years of corn that God planted in her. You know, at some other point in life that she’s hoping doesn’t happen, but she just doesn’t know where you go knock on her door and say, hi, I’m God, I’m here to plant the seed.
00;36;11;10 – 00;36;48;09
Unknown
Come on. God, I mean, that’s disgusting. Scott, my name is God. I’m a farmer. She’s. Where’s my host? Oh, my God, it’s not okay. He’s he’s my. You know, I love making fun of the good. Okay, good. It’s not. It’s not good. And telling you. I’m telling you I’m not. Okay. But boy, could she play that banjo.
00;36;48;09 – 00;37;21;04
Unknown
Oh, like the heavens in my hand. Yeah, I can’t, I can’t I also can’t understand why people think if we use medical terms like penis and vagina. Oh, that my pearls. Yes. That is going to mean our kids are buying the black worm. Like I don’t understand. There’s a fine line between calling it a penis and fetching the black, but do you know what I mean?
00;37;21;04 – 00;37;38;14
Unknown
Like, I don’t understand why that is so that’s the taboo. It’s the classic theory that if you talk about it, you’re going to think it into existence for peep, and you’re going to become obsessed. I need to see a penis. I need to see a penis. I need to touch a penis. I need to know what it looks like.
00;37;38;16 – 00;37;56;20
Unknown
What if I say those words? Boom! I’m going to want to be sexually active. That’s because all the gays will make you gay. If I write anything, if I was told at six years old what a penis was, I would want to be as far away from it as possible, right? Correct. Think people think this way about drugs.
00;37;56;22 – 00;38;10;24
Unknown
If you talk to people about safe consumption of alcohol, that means I need to do it. I mean, if you need a drink, you’re on. Going out and doing that makes no sense to me. People with gambling addiction, you’re going to wonder, ooh, that’s interesting. I’m going to touch that water to see how I can go over here.
00;38;10;24 – 00;38;28;23
Unknown
I’m going to I’m going to fight. If I train you about how to use a condom. Right. You’re going to be like I’ve tried. I need to try it on all the sizes and shapes I need all day to pull down your pants. I need, you know what I mean? Look at. Look at all of those preachers. Look at all those evangelical preachers that, you know, preach all this stuff.
00;38;28;23 – 00;38;51;08
Unknown
And then one day they find him, you know, with a with a Mexican, young man in a motel six smoking meth and, you know, on a binge for six days, having unprotected anal sex. Yeah. Because they don’t know. Oh, my God. And everyone keeps talking about it. I gotta try this. Yeah, right. Yeah. Snap is so often sense, I know I can understand it.
00;38;51;08 – 00;39;12;18
Unknown
Oh, we, you know, don’t let your daughter use a tampon. She might want dick all the time. Yeah. Oh, my God, what the hurry. That’s okay. You you don’t even need to wait for me to identify what the highlight clip is for. That’s real. I just need you to have Rebecca saying that just that statement. Just nasty.
00;39;12;18 – 00;39;36;08
Unknown
All of a sudden, Rebecca shows up, and then the clip comes on and you’re like, don’t let your daughter use a tampon. She’s gonna want dick all the time. Boom. Marla podcast. That’s it. That’s no other conversation. That’s the clip. I mean, I know you did. Just tell me. Yeah, I think yeah, absolutely. We’re gonna have service. Stan, I know I it’s absolutely.
00;39;36;10 – 00;39;53;10
Unknown
I mean, I don’t know, Sawyer figure I bought a bunch of peaches and I put them in the fruit bowl, and she comes in, she goes, those look like butts. I know what do you think? People use the peach emoji and emojis for? She’s like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. And then you followed it up with you ever seen do you ever see the eggplant?
00;39;53;12 – 00;40;13;26
Unknown
I saw her, I mean, I know, I know, I don’t get it, I know I don’t get it. It’s, it’s it was fascinating. But the fact that I just apparently completely shut down and I didn’t even realize it, I was just like, this is not okay. And that was cool. We got to walk away again. I am neurodivergent.
00;40;13;26 – 00;40;30;23
Unknown
I’m going to tell you what I think about it. We go to walk away and I say, I can’t be around people who don’t add value to conversations when they open their mouth. And I know I can’t. God, you have to allow me to fail. You ever said no, I’m sorry, God, I can’t. But I know that that’s not where it’s coming from.
00;40;31;00 – 00;40;54;18
Unknown
But holy, why does that sound elitist? Oh yeah, it does. Why I have to walk away from someone doesn’t add value to this conversation. Her value was that everything below your your belly button was called the bottom. There’s no value. The bigger, the bigger concern is she’s an active participant in the education system. I know that’s the part that scary to me.
00;40;54;18 – 00;41;17;23
Unknown
I know I do not want that person having any conversation with my kid. You ask her how much she liked To Kill a mockingbird. Oh, that banned book. We don’t read that one. I, I can’t, I can’t it’s it’s it’s, You have to, you have to. But she was one of those people. You don’t ever feel this way about people.
00;41;17;23 – 00;41;34;28
Unknown
She’s one of those people that every time they go to open their mouth and say something, you’re like, this might be a this might be the time where they’re about to say something that I’m like, I took something from that. And then you’re just disappointed. You’re like, oh, that wasn’t it. Well, maybe it’s this time. Nope. Not that I almost had to work with one of those people.
00;41;35;01 – 00;41;59;14
Unknown
Joe, don’t talk about Joe like that out here. All righty. It’s. It’s good thing you gave Joe. Where is he? Can I see him? No, no, just. That’s all. Poor Joe. No. But mine. No, it’s a little radio person. Oh, well, my favorite is watching Erin’s face when she is near people like that. Because I’m just like, here’s the show, right here.
00;41;59;19 – 00;42;21;21
Unknown
Here’s the show. It’s going to be real good. And then, oh, she’ll follow up with a great idea. I yeah, I think we should have guests and shit that just, we’ll have just the air and space, the two way mirror. You know where where. Yeah. Where you just see like there are many cameras with with Aaron and, weirdo at what?
00;42;21;24 – 00;42;39;27
Unknown
What? Not a weirdo just there. Well, you need to check our text messages if we’re ever in certain meetings, and I’m like, you need to fix your face. I try to catch her, and I’m like. Or I send the private zoom, zoom thing that’s like, it’s not. It’s not it. You got to rewrite it. Okay. I can do it.
00;42;39;27 – 00;43;02;06
Unknown
I’m. I’m sorry. In that moment dying, that I, I’m like, this is this is not enough. I’ll teach you how to, trick people on zoom. So where you can just play a clip of your face looking interested and, you know, okay, like that and just loop that. Yeah. And then you could be off camera going, yeah, I’m gonna.
00;43;02;07 – 00;43;22;16
Unknown
Yeah. Just like, that’s CYA. I’m going to have to remember that one time we had that one conversation. What the hell was that guy? Oh, the guy for the bloodwork guy. Oh, my God, I don’t think we ever talked about this. Rebecca had a blood work consultation, and she called me about it. She called me into this blood work consultation.
00;43;22;16 – 00;43;40;25
Unknown
Wait, wait. We need to preface that no one is going to believe the stories we tell about me in my medical. I know, and the only reason they’re going to believe it is because you’re neurodivergent and you can’t like. I know, I can’t lie about that. No, immediately I can’t. We can’t you. But you were making this meeting coming up at 130 to discuss my blood results.
00;43;40;25 – 00;43;57;19
Unknown
Would you come with me to like you asked? Good question. Because what you said, I said, oh, I’m absolutely happy to. And oh, the other thing with Rebecca, though, one time she made me go to this one meeting, which was the one, with the elimination diet, we went to this one place. She’s like, oh, this is it.
00;43;57;19 – 00;44;15;22
Unknown
This is it right now. This is so great, I can’t wait. This is going to be it. It was a hormone battle. You walk in there for this hormone balance. We both take this assessment. We get in there, we’re sitting in separate chairs. The woman starts talking again. I can’t fix my face because I’m. I’m. You’re also a skeptic at heart, 100% right.
00;44;15;22 – 00;44;39;20
Unknown
I’m not. I don’t believe you. For the first one quarter of your entire conversation, right? Yeah. And then maybe we’ll get there. Yeah, but that’s how she is. I am looking at this woman, like, as she’s starting to say these kind of things. And I’m just assessing it hook, line and sinker. Here’s her point. Rewind to when she told the the LP that she didn’t have back again.
00;44;39;23 – 00;44;58;26
Unknown
What if I did it? Yeah, right I know, but you me taking an antiviral. You know what that is a smart approach to to medicine these days. I mean to anything in general. I will say that most of, I don’t I don’t want to say this. A lot of times there’s an agenda behind their diagnosis. Absolutely not.
00;44;58;26 – 00;45;22;20
Unknown
Just not just never conceived in any sort of see all these notions. It’s funny you say that sales tactic. You know what got me over the hump of being like, okay, this 100% isn’t shingles. Before I even left the office, she said, my father recently had a cluster of dots on his head and starts to explain what his experience was, and I was like, right there.
00;45;22;27 – 00;45;46;09
Unknown
It’s an over identification of acknowledgment that you just went through that experience, and now you’re going to see that another experience is that is that psychology all day. That’s why we see higher rates of certain diagnoses in the mental health profession. When certain things are happening in the environment, you start to hear, narcissism. Now you’re starting to hear narcissism.
00;45;46;09 – 00;46;09;04
Unknown
Everyone must be narcissistic, right? And now you start to hear about ADHD. Everybody’s got ADHD, right? And the reality is, yes, there’s some education that comes from that. But borderline personality is a great example of this. Not everyone who’s just, you know, a little bit difficult with boundaries or pushes the envelope or whatever has an actual personality disorder.
00;46;09;04 – 00;46;30;15
Unknown
Right? But we learn these words and see them, and then we start to see them all over the place. Phenomena we have to be aware of. Correct. But but the other component that would have also do it, I went through it. She didn’t ask any other person to come in to see you. Right, right. It call my guy with shingles in your eye.
00;46;30;21 – 00;46;49;06
Unknown
Yeah. Call my guy what you want. He had two other nurses and another doctor come in and they did. I mean it was a full body examination. And there was he would show they showed me pictures. Right. Like this is what’s going to happen. And it all made sense, right. Yeah. Yeah. You don’t, you know, that’s a that’s a serious thing.
00;46;49;06 – 00;47;10;10
Unknown
Right. But anyway so we go to the elimination diet. Here’s me the whole time I got my number wrote I’m supposed to be a hormone balance. Sorry. Yes. Correct. Appointment. Correct. And when then when it shifted. And so here’s me, you know, skeptical. This is interesting. We talked about it to a different balancing. But we now we’re talking about something very different.
00;47;10;10 – 00;47;30;11
Unknown
And here’s Rebecca right. Yeah. Oh this is great for our site. Swipe swipe left swipe. Sign me up. Sign me up. No I’m ready I didn’t do it. But I’m ready to do it. So right this this woman, she’s only talking to me now. Shifted the conversation to being like, well, you know, you’re going to cut out. And then the list of things you’re cutting out.
00;47;30;11 – 00;47;53;21
Unknown
I mean, we’re talking you ain’t even eat an olive oil like we are. We went down to nothing, right? Right. And so at this point, she looks over at me and Rebecca feels that. So she’s not looking at me, but because I wanted. So, for instance, Aaron, what are you thinking right now? And Rebecca’s like, do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
00;47;53;21 – 00;48;15;13
Unknown
And I said, I actually have a lot of questions about what’s happening right now. So I know we came in, we were going to talk about the hormone balancing. And I understand that there’s a couple different oils that can be taken or whatever. But really a lot of what you’re talking about right now just seems like extreme calorie restriction and an elimination diet, which don’t get me wrong, is great for a lot of people.
00;48;15;14 – 00;48;37;20
Unknown
But if we’re paying for this and it’s just an elimination diet, I have some questions about what it is that we’re doing. This woman realizes in this moment she’s not getting any further with this. Well, so what does she do? Turns right back to Rebecca, and she is just like a sales shark. It was just in there. Well, Rebecca, you know, do you experience this?
00;48;37;20 – 00;48;58;12
Unknown
Do you feel lethargic? Do you? Whatever. All the things. And now this woman doesn’t know, right. That it don’t matter what you have to say, honey. Because the minute we get in the car and I’m like, all done. Shut it down. Going to Chick-Fil-A, Rebecca’s like, okay, right, okay. That’s what we’re not going to do. All right. So this one, in fact, I’m pretty sure you said that I’m pretty sure you said we’re going to take a pause right here.
00;48;58;12 – 00;49;16;08
Unknown
Yeah. And we’ll get back to you with our decision. That’s right. Hey. And I and I feel every part of you, you’re just like, I just got to where I want to do. It’s so bad. I know just what was the price? I’m like $900. $1,000. She’s like, don’t worry, though, you can pay for it on your HSA, right?
00;49;16;11 – 00;49;39;00
Unknown
I can pay for it out of my asshole. And it’s still ain’t going to happen. Okay? Because this is under real. I know we get in the car and then you’re like, how do you think I want? I said, absolutely not. We’re not paying $1,000 for an elimination diet, and you have $1,000 to throw around. You give that shit to me and I’ll come over and be like, nope, nope, nope, can’t eat it.
00;49;39;01 – 00;50;04;21
Unknown
Not going to eat it, not going to eat it. So then fast forward to this bloodwork guy, to the bloodwork man. This just happened. Like she calls me back on the call, right? So we get on and this guy is personality. Oh dad a central Doug Central can’t tell at one point I can’t tell if it’s frozen. A computer froze or if he just lacked the ability to respond appropriately.
00;50;04;21 – 00;50;28;00
Unknown
Right. So I think I think I waved my arms and your face. That’s when that’s when you moved. And I couldn’t. I couldn’t get it. This is one of my classic faces where I’m just like, I. Right. Or then I’m like, I’m like, I’m like, here’s me waiting in anticipation. Are you going to say something else? Right?
00;50;28;00 – 00;50;46;02
Unknown
And you texted me immediately. Stop it with your face. Hi. Stop it with your face. And then he comes back on, because it must have been. And I said I didn’t know what happened there, sir. I said that I didn’t know if you just weren’t responding or whatever, because at some point he was like, tell me about yourself, Rebecca.
00;50;46;02 – 00;51;04;07
Unknown
And you’re like, you tell him this most beautiful story of yourself and then he’s like this. We couldn’t that’s that’s when we didn’t know if he was frozen or not or socially weird. It was a whole weird thing. And that’s your face. And I’m like, oh God, oh, God. Oh, God. Remember? And so we eventually get through all of that.
00;51;04;13 – 00;51;21;07
Unknown
And then the girl comes on, the salesgirl comes out, he keeps going. He keeps saying, right, so, Rebecca, what do you feel good about going with the what was it? It’s some peptides kept the peptides. And you said, well, I don’t know. The meeting just started. So I don’t really know, you know. Well I am definitely open to it.
00;51;21;07 – 00;51;38;17
Unknown
If you could tell me a little bit more, you know, and then he’s like, so then we test your blood. We do this, we do that, we do all these things. And so Rebecca, oh, would you be interested in going with the peptides today? And I’m like, I’m pretty sure that what you said is, this is, I’m getting punked.
00;51;38;20 – 00;52;10;26
Unknown
I have getting punked right now. I, I’m ready. Times am I getting dragged into now I’ve had the elimination diet. I know I had the poster board with the guy who I primary care whatever. Attend the primary care. Now I’m in here with Mr.. Her blood’s a lot peptide so that he gets off the sales lady comes out and she’s like but she’s he’s she’s she’s she’s she’s he says, well now I’m going to have, you know, Susie over here.
00;52;10;28 – 00;52;26;09
Unknown
Come in. She’s been on the call the whole time, but she’s going to run through all the pricing information with you, and you can ask her any questions. And you I put together this, this whole plan for you, where you can do this and this and this and all these things. And she’s going to run through that. So she brings it up.
00;52;26;09 – 00;52;46;02
Unknown
She’ll come to me. If there’s any changes to the plan, feel free to talk freely with her because, you know, it says goodbye. So she comes out and she’s like, are we adding on the the stem cell, the Sam style package? And I’m and I know immediately what that is, but I see your face and I can talk about no, he did not.
00;52;46;03 – 00;53;04;14
Unknown
I said, man, I need some more information about the stem cell package. We’ve not seen any prices yet. We’ve not seen any prices. Nothing. So she’s like, we got this and we get this. You get the coaching, you get this, you get the peptides, you get the and the blood results, the reviews, the coaching. And then would you guys be interested in nailing on the stem cell treatment.
00;53;04;17 – 00;53;29;16
Unknown
What’s that ma’am. Right. And I’m tired because I know what it is Scott, do you know what it is. What stem cell is? So. Yeah. Scott this is on. I know what stem cells are, but I don’t know how it relates to a story. Well, because it’s supposed to be a treatment plan because they did a full they did a full blood panel workup on me and saw where I was deficient, etc., and then gave it an option of treatment, let’s just call it that.
00;53;29;16 – 00;53;50;13
Unknown
And so you can grow a new pancreas or something basically, basically. So then she’s like, well reacting on the stem cell package and I’m like dying. This is her face. And I’m like, I go, Erin, do you know what that is? And I go, is it? And I jokingly said, yeah, it’s basically when you eat your placenta and it’s like, what?
00;53;50;13 – 00;54;18;24
Unknown
And she’s like, well, kind of. She’s like, this is how the woman explains it. This is how she explains it. No joke. Word for word, right? Do you know what the celebrity is? You know, there’s a lot of celebrities that do this stem cell, you know, Stem replacement where they spend about $100,000. And what they do is they basically get recycled blood from other babies, and then they flush out their blood, and they recycle it with the umbilical, umbilical cord blood from from all of these different babies.
00;54;19;00 – 00;54;53;11
Unknown
It costs about a $100,000, she says. But you know what? But we’re not all we’re not all super. You know, rich celebrities, right? And so this is the program for people, you know, that are more like us, the average, the average, but we don’t have the $100,000 to spend on that. So instead of doing full on blood transfusions, we take some of the stem cells from the, the, the and sometimes there are some people who have given birth and don’t want their kids, given birth and have not kept their own.
00;54;53;13 – 00;55;12;22
Unknown
And then we’re going to take that, and we’re going to infuse that into your own blood to stimulate more platelet and whatever. That’s a hell of a job. There’s a guy making 15, 50 an hour going from maternity ward to maternity ward. Hey, can I have your placenta? So I’ll give you 20 bucks for it. So I say, what did I say?
00;55;12;22 – 00;55;34;13
Unknown
So what? So I’m going to have to have Jerome’s blood count at me. And she goes, what? And I go, yeah, Jerome. So you’re going to take Jerome’s umbilical cord from Jerome’s mom and Jerome’s mom’s like, yeah, sure, you can have it. And this is Eric’s mates and she is dying. She’s like, what? And Aaron’s like, I gotta go through this.
00;55;34;13 – 00;56;01;19
Unknown
I said, did you just say Jerome? Yeah. And you said, yeah. And I said, now I need a minute, right. Are we talking about other moms? Yes. And they’re babies. This is not like I kept my cord blood. This is her taking it. Mom, are you gonna use that? Right? Could I borrow Jerome’s right blood cell? Whatever this woman straight face says.
00;56;01;27 – 00;56;25;04
Unknown
Yeah, yeah, that’s what we do. I. My ears, my hands. Like I am getting stopped by the police. I said, ma’am, this is too damn much for me. This this just put me right over the edge. No, we are not interested in that. Well no no, no, she she goes well, let me just share with you the pricing.
00;56;25;04 – 00;56;39;21
Unknown
And she goes in and she changes the, the name from platelet blood cell count, whatever. What does she call it? Jerome’s. Jerome’s. Jerome donation Jerome donation.
00;56;39;23 – 00;57;03;07
Unknown
And then, you know, they show you at the very top like the like, oh, this is how much this costs and that costs. And I’m like, scroll to the bottom right, scroll all the way to the bottom. How much was the package for three months? $35,000. Oh yeah, of course. But then she’s like, but we could take the stem cell transplant out and then it would only be 15 to 20.
00;57;03;07 – 00;57;26;15
Unknown
Yeah. Something can dying at this point. At this point I, I’m like, how do I get drawn in to these things with her. And all I want to do? I think that’s exactly what I said to you when we got off the phone. So you basically very kindly say, well, I’m going to have to think about it. You know, I do review this with my husband.

Come back around, you know, to you, there ain’t no way, no way that this is happening. So the minute we get off the phone, I call you and you’re like, why aren’t you talking? I said, I, I need a minute right now. Number one, can you please stop bringing me into these conversations where we’re doing. I didn’t think it was going to be like, have you hippie vu medical?

I am regenerative. That is unreal. And so then I am like, so you mean to tell me that those celebrities, you know, paying 100 grand, but you over here drop in ten grand.

It joke’s on you guys, you know? No, because it’s it’s, it’s probably instead of instead of drying you up like a raisin and putting all new blood injected babies. Yeah, yeah, well, these are third world babies. They’re cheaper. Yeah. That’s right, I can’t I she gets me in these things all the time. Next on More Love. It’s transplants.

I mean, because you roll with this shit a lot easier than I do, I. We will not have any good stories unless I put you in a circumstance that is true. Yeah. Thank you. I don’t think I’ve ever thanked you properly for all of these opportunities. We didn’t watch the video. I wanted to watch today. We didn’t talk about the you.

We don’t have any time. And I’m not playing this video because it’s way too good. Scott and I have been laughing about it for a week since the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen in my life, so it’s going to have to be next, right? Well, as soon as we’re done with this, we’re watching all those Instagram Instagrams you sent me because they are.

Kind of like reaching a dead end of a maze. The best course of action is inaction in other words, try not to keep walking into the same wall over and over again, because. Ouch! Surrender. Turn around and try a different path. This is the gift of arms ended up ended this completely fresh perspective. If you felt stuck hard, stagnant, the key might be looking at things with a brand new baby dinosaur.

I. Once you do, you’ll soon be skipping through life’s never ending maze again. It’s so fun, right? I can’t. Here’s your affirmation I free myself of ego and admit there’s got to be a better way. I don’t know what it is yet, but I bet when I find it or. But I bet I will find it. But I bet I will when I find it, because, well, things will work out, whatever it’s got.

Did you get any of that haiku? I swear, it’s basically for someone. For someone who reads a lot of books, I don’t know, did you get any of that? Scott I got, I seriously, I can’t, I just didn’t I don’t you ask me, baby. Nice or maybe I heard baby dinosaur right. But then after that I was like, turn around and try a different path.

It’s saying don’t, is it? Keep repeating the same thing over and over again. If you’re feeling stuck, right, like going to a doctor’s appointment with your best friends. Yeah, we’re we’re all done with that. I’m all done seeking. Seeking anything. You know what the problem is? Lyme disease. Read the damn book. That’s right. That’s the solution to everything.

So, this is what’s going to take us out today. I know that I am the only person who can bring forth the creativity that lives in my body. I am magic, that’s it, that’s it. I hear me roar. Get it?
