Transcript

Hi everybody. Hello. Welcome back to Cloud We Talk podcast. I'm Chanel. And I'm Tori. And this is another episode. It is freezing outside. It is freezing. It is frigid. You know, I'm not a winter person. Yeah, I'm not a winter or a summer person. So. What? Do you like spring? My allergies, but actually my allergies are better. Your ideal season is fall. Fall. Yeah, you're a fall girl.

I thought you said lasers. I was like, is there like a laser show? Lasers. That's funny, but you can wear lasers in spring, but it's allergies. It's allergies, but my allergies are better now. Speaking of, I did for Christmas, I asked for 23andMe kit. You did? I did, and I got it back. You did? Yes. Oh my gosh. And I mean, it wasn't anything like the genetic stuff about like my heritage and where I'm from. I kind of knew that. I was like, I'm going to go to the gym. I'm going to go to the gym. I

So it was interesting, my brother did ancestry.com and I did 23andMe. So it was interesting to see the differences between the two things. But one of the things, I did the health version of 23andMe, it told me that I'm not, like my DNA, my genetic makeup isn't like with anyone that gets allergies. Like I'm just not, I'm a non-allergetic person. Oh my gosh. Yeah, like I could have the average disposition to have cat allergies or dog allergies.

I don't like my the chances. It's Sebi's over here like I'm trying to get cozy. Is this on camera? It is. Speaking of dog allergies, come snuggle up to me because I'm not gonna be allergic to you, Seb Seb. So I was, I thought of you when I read that. I'm like, oh, I wonder what Chanel's would say. I did ancestry, but I didn't do the health version. Okay. So I don't know.

Now I'm curious. It'd probably be like, absolutely. Definitely, you're fucked. I know, it's like, it's not anything. So for me, it's like, you are 99% chances of having blue eyes. I mean, I do. But it was just interesting to see the breakdown. One of them was like, oh, you're more likely to have your hair light in. And you're more likely to have freckles and moles. And it was just interesting to see. Wow. My mom said she was, I was very courageous to do this. Because one of the purposes I did it

Glad we Talked (02:14.582)
The health was to see if I had the gene for Alzheimer's because Alzheimer's does run in the family. And it tests for that. It does Parkinson's. Like it does some different cancers. And I wanted to know. So you're clear? I'm clear. Yeah. That's great. I am a little bit higher at risk for some glaucoma or peculiar degeneration. We can deal with that. I can deal with it. That's manageable. Yeah. I mean, I'm basically, I've already gone through eye surgery. I had LASIK.

I think I told you about the book I was reading, Still Alice, where the woman had Alzheimer's disease and her kids get tested for the gene in the movie and the book and one of them has it. Oh really? And it's like, she's going to get it. Wow. Which is like, I don't know. And one of them tested, he didn't have it and then the other one didn't want to know. So I don't know, maybe your mom's on the side of like, she doesn't want to know. She doesn't. And my mom's gone through a lot of health things herself. So she's kind of like, I just don't want to know. Because then you're just always kind of, if you forget one thing, you're going to start being like, is it happening to me?

For me, I want to be on top of it so I'm preventative. Like what can I be doing today? To stop. To stop it, to delay it. You know, what can I be doing to make sure? Like I know what's going to happen. So how can I, me, myself, my family prepare for it? Right. You know, that's my thinking. But I really, if you're comfortable with knowing this and you think you are, there was a second where I was a little nervous when I got the results. Of course, yeah. And I was like, oh, and there's something with heart.

I am a little bit higher risk for coronary heart disease. Oh, okay. Which runs in my family, so it's not surprising. Right. But it's like, hey, doesn't mean you have this, doesn't mean you're high risk. Yeah. Your lifestyle, eating healthy, exercising, blah, blah. What you do. Yeah, plays a role into it. So, but it just lets you know. It's like, hey, heads up. But I can understand if you weren't expecting anything and say it came back with something very serious, like BRCA.

or something, which it does test for that too. My mom had breast cancer, so she tested and she knew this already. But say you hadn't known this in your family and it came back, I could see that being jarring. Yeah, and being a little bit surprising. You kind of have to be prepared going into it, knowing that who knows what it's gonna say. Right. Yeah. Right, so I don't know. I'm glad you did it though and you're okay. Thank you, I'm glad I did it too. I do like the ancestry stuff, it's kind of cool. It is fun. Yeah, it's fun, it's a fun thing to do.

Glad we Talked (04:35.242)
Yeah. I got it for Christmas too. So it's a good gift. It is. I think I want to do it for other people. Yeah, you should. I'd show different cousins and family members. And I'm like, I don't know this person. I know this person. Yeah. I keep getting like new matches and I'm like, I don't know who these people are. Should I? It was funny. My mom said to me after I did it, she was like, I mean, there was a lot of things for her that she was like, wow, I feel like a lot of relief now knowing that.

You're okay. It took a little bit of worry off her, like thinking what jeans she might've passed on or as a parent, would she get Alzheimer's? She was like, that's a big weight off my shoulders. But she was like, also, just a little part of me is happy because it did confirm that you were mine. Oh. Because we don't look a lot alike. We don't have a lot of the same traits. I think you look alike. We do, but not that she thought I wasn't hers, but she was like. Yeah, yeah.

She's like, what if that happened at the hospital? If the nurses just got you mixed up with a baby? No, you look a lot like your mom, I think. Yeah. You guys don't think you look alike? No. Really? We're just like, yeah. I see it. I have blue eyes, blonde hair. Yeah, it doesn't matter. I see it in the face. OK. I do. I mean, I'm an anomaly, because my parents both have brown eyes. Oh, wow. Brown hair. And your brothers, too? They both have brown eyes. How cool. And ginger-y kind of blondish, brown hair. Yeah, brown. Like Mitch and I.

If we have kids, we'll be blue-eyed, blonde-haired, or like brownish hair, yeah. Because the blue eyes are recessive. Anyways, genetics are fascinating. They are fascinating. It's crazy. I wonder if me and Martin had kids, what would happen? I mean, we're not, but he has blue eyes, I have brown eyes. It would be very interesting because you guys are very different genetic makeups. You think? I'm just not to point out the obvious, but I think it would be very interesting to see. Like from me and Mitch, we both have blue eyes. You're like, oh, well, duh.

But for you guys, Martin has blue eyes. It's like what traits of who are they gonna get? Exactly, and you can see them a little bit more visibly. Yeah, I'm curious, but the curiosity is not enough. I know, you're like, ah, no. I did also hear that when people have babies, and my friend Melissa just had hers, as we know, and he looks very much like her husband. And I've heard that when people have babies, they look like the husband, so you know who the father is. What? I don't know if it's true. This might be a wives' tale, but.

Glad we Talked (06:53.426)
Yeah, it definitely is. But it adds up. I'm like, okay. Because science can't be like, we're gonna do this. It's not science, it's just like nature. Pretend we didn't have science. This is like our, I'd also said I'm more Neanderthal than other people. So think like way back, like that's the way of humans just knowing. Yeah. It's like the original Murray. Yeah, I think this is- You are the father. I wanna believe this, but I can't. Okay. Well, look it up. I like the sentiment.

We'll look it up. Okay. Anyway, so we didn't mean to come in here and start chatting, but- That's kind of fun, because this is a fun episode. This is a fun episode. So I was on TikTok perusing, and the girlies have been doing this thing called Weekly Report. On the TikTok? On the TikTok, where they talk about their weekly report of, so the R-E-P-O-R-T stand for something, so the R is what they're reading, the E is what they're eating, P is-

playing with, so like music, TV, makeup maybe. O is obsessed with, R is recommending, and T is what you're treating yourself to. So Tori and I talked about doing like a monthly roundup episode each month where we talk about kind of our favorite things and we were like, why not do a monthly report? Love it. So that's what we're gonna do from now on. I think it's fun. I think it's fun too and we can talk about different categories, we can give you guys our report, and if you want to send us your reports, that'd be cool too.

Yeah, we can do a poll. Yeah. On the Instagram. What are you guys reading and stuff? I saw the poll on the TikTok, on the Instagram. You're doing it to yourself. I know. This is fun because we did wanna do this more lifestyle moment. We do have the real review, but this gives it a stage to have some fun. And you guys can get to know us more. Yeah, it's true. Yeah. Adds more content from the day to day. Okay. So let's start with R. Are we gonna go one at a time or just through? I think let's do R-R-E-E.

Right? Sure. Yeah. So we just stay on this category. Love it. My OCD. That's why I asked you. I didn't ask myself. I wasn't like, okay, so this is why you can do it. You were like internally, Tori, what should we do? It was kind of like, how are we gonna do this? I'll let Chanel decide. Okay, so Tori, what are you reading? Right now, I am reading. Let me get my notes. Okay. Right now I'm reading, it ends with us. I don't know who the author is. I just know that I'm reading this because

Glad we Talked (09:19.038)
I think you recommended it, but I also saw, and a lot of people in Hoboken know this, that Blake Lively and, yeah, and what's his name from? Justin Baldoni. Yep, from, I said Love the Virgin, Jane the Virgin. Also great show. Are filming it in Hoboken, or at least one of the locations is in Hoboken. So I had been hearing about it, and I was like, before the movie comes out, I should read the book. So I started reading that. I'm not too far in yet. It's just been a busy week, but that is what I'm reading right now.

What do you think about it? I'm only in a few chapters in. OK. I think it's good. I just finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I toggled with recommend. That was going to be my recommending, because it is literally my favorite book. But I'm like, everyone's read it by now. I hadn't. I love it. I thought it was really good. I know this isn't, It Ends With Us. I am recommending it, but it isn't my R for the episode. Really good.

a little bit, I kind of predicted it, what was gonna go on. There were some twists in it that I didn't see coming, but you know, a few. It was really good. I did enjoy reading it. I loved it so much. Like I wanna read it again. So I, going from that into it ends with us, I'm having to transition my brain a little bit. And I did have this thought, like maybe I should read a fictional book and then a non-fiction to kind of have a clear separation because I'm still thinking of Evelyn. That's the thing about a good book. It really like takes you in.

and you're like in their world. And then when you're not a part of their world anymore, it's sad, number one. I was like so sad. You do have to mourn. I was like, I'm not hanging out with Evelyn anymore. Like, what am I gonna do? She was such a character. I loved it so much. But it's like now you have to transition to a new book and it's kind of like you have to like readjust yourself to their world. So it is weird. It's a weird, I give myself like a week in between sometimes. And I liked Evelyn Hugo because, I mean the book, because it did.

tie in like our past lives and magazines and publications. It's kind of fun. Yeah, I love it. So anyways, it ends with us. I'm off to a good start. I gotta finish it before the movie comes out. So I think I have some time, but. You definitely have time. Yeah, you should do that. So what are you reading? I'm reading a book called Untamed by Glennon Doyle. I've heard of it. Yeah, it's on Reese Witherspoon's book club. I saw it on a bunch of different things, like people recommending it. So I was like, oh, I'll try it. I am enjoying it so far. I'm halfway through.

Glad we Talked (11:45.206)
The timeline is a little confusing to me. So I'm a little bit lost. What else has she written? I don't know. I have no idea. She's not the girl with the dragon tattoo, is she? I don't think so. All right. I don't know. But Glenn Doyle is like, she's a very popular author. Probably. Her writing style is good. I'm just a little bit confused on the timeline. OK. But it's basically a book about a woman who's married with kids and she kind of finds herself. It's called Untamed because she like metaphorically

like a cheetah is caged in a zoo and they don't know about this whole life outside of it. And she's like, that's kind of how she felt. There was this whole world out there and she didn't know about it. And she's just like, this is how girls are supposed to be. This is how women are supposed to act. And like, I'm supposed to be polite and nice and people-pleaser. And she kind of finds herself in her voice. So I thought it'd be interesting for me to read. It's good so far, I'm just a little bit lost, but. That's okay. It's good. Have you read any other reviews? I've only heard good things. Okay. Yeah.

So it's good, it's just, there's like short little spurts chapters, they're not all in chronological order. It's kind of like, so this happened, and this happened, and this happened. Oh, you have to piece it together. Yeah, exactly. That's hard. Yeah, you have to really pay attention when you. Oh, she has a podcast too. That's why I'm like merging world. She's the host of We Can Do Hard Things. Okay. Another podcast. Cool. Yeah, I, I'm gonna be honest, I haven't listened to it. I've heard people talk about it. Okay. But maybe I should give it a listen. Yeah, maybe.

So then next, I'm like spelling in the back of my head. I'm like, what are you eating? I'm eating a lot of Trader Joe's multigrain waffles. Love them. Like every day, normally when I'm home, like weekends and when I'm working from home, I just get my waffles out and my blueberries and I have it. I've been doing it with agave syrup. I was just saying this morning that I think I like it better than maple syrup. Really?

Trader Joe's a coffee, yeah? Yes. Everything Trader Joe's. I am obsessed with Trader Joe's. I know, it's sick. It really is sick. I don't know how healthy they are. Probably... On my new map, they're okay. Okay. Good. That's good to know. I think they are yellow food. So Noom does green, yellow, orange. Orange is for like the more calorie dense. So yellow is good. Oh, great. I mean, orange isn't bad. It's just like how much you can eat is a little bit more on the yellow, like because it's multi-grain.

Glad we Talked (14:11.15)
It's like mostly green bread, whole wheat pasta, those things. Like you're good carbs. It's still carbs, yeah. It's butter or carb? It is a different consistency than regular waffles. So I knew it was like a little healthier. I love them. Yeah, they're so good. They just read to their packaging. This is how much I love them. Oh. Is that they, I think they are whole grain now. Oh, yeah. I think mine's still, oh, maybe you're right. Should you go in your freezer? No, I don't want to get up. Okay.

Yeah, I think they just redid the packaging I noticed because I have been buying these for a long time. Okay. I discovered them probably like six months ago. Oh really? Yeah. I'm like talking back in 2015. Oh wow. Okay, so yeah, they probably redid their packaging. Recently. Oh, like six months ago. I don't think they have. No, I love a multigrain waffle. Yeah. And I think it's funny. It goes back to childhood too, but I eat mine with peanut butter. Oh, do you put syrup or no? Just peanut butter.

Yeah, I kind of do it like a toast situation. Okay, I like that. I do a waffle, peanut butter, sometimes I put some blueberries on top. I love it with the fruit. It's good. It elevates it. So do you, you do it with agave syrup and then always blueberries? Blueberries. Blueberries? Sometimes no blueberries. Oh, but strawberries? I would do strawberries. Bananas? No bananas, I do like a berry. Okay. Yeah, I tried it with blackberries, didn't go. Wasn't it? But bloobs or strobs.

Do you eat them before work or during the week or is it like a weekend? No, it's a weekend thing. Friday through Monday, I eat them like every day. And then when we go to Trader Joe's, I'm like, I need my waffles. I do them before work because I just pop them in. I eat at work. Oh. You eat before work. Depends on the day. Yeah, depends how much time I gave myself in the morning. Exactly. What are you eating? I've been eating a lot of fruit. Oh, good. Just in general. With the Noom,

you can eat a lot more of green. So it's all vegetables, fruits, low fat dairy products. So I've been eating a lot of fruit. I've been going for apples, grapes. I always love grapes, but I've had some really good ones. I wanted the cotton candy grapes from Trader Joe's. I love them. They're too soggy. They were $10.99. That's disgusting. At Trader Joe's? $10.99. That is very off brand for Trader Joe's. I was upset.

Glad we Talked (16:27.334)
First of all, the Trader Joe's branded ones are so much better than the cotton candy ones. They're good. I love the cotton candy though. Cotton candy are like soggy. I don't know. You don't think so? I don't know. But I've been on my fruit game. Good for you. And I even bought those like little fruit pouches. You know the ones that the kids eat? Yeah, I saw you eating it. Yeah. They had them. That's like one of the things you can like, it's a go to treat. Instead of like, if you're craving something sweet, like they're encouraging you to like go for fruit.

And if I'm on the go and I don't want to eat an apple, I'm like, I'll just do that. Wow. I wouldn't have thought that those were good for you. They're not bad. It's all natural. What brand is it? Trader Joe's. Oh, Trader Joe's. They have a banana, a strawberry, a strawberry apple and a mango apple. Like they have a bunch of different flavors. One of them was, the mango one the other day was completely gone. Huh, I'm gonna have to look into this. Yeah, I don't know. I was kind of like, am I gonna be, are people gonna look at me funny?

No, I saw you eating it and I was like, this is normal. It's just a little squeeze, you know? Yeah, okay. That's what I've been eating a lot of fruit. Okay, that's good. That's a healthy thing. Yeah. I like that for you. Yeah. Okay, so P, playing. What are you playing? Music, TV? So I've been playing a lot of Zach Brian and Noah Khan. Oh, I like Noah Khan. Is Zach Brian in country? He is, he's kind of like this folky.

He's very close to Noah Cahn though, like that type of genre. Okay. It's, you might know his song. His song. His song, Something in the Orange. No. Okay. It's a good one. It's kind of like stick season. I've been playing both of them a lot. And I've, that's what my Spotify is. Do you like country music? I grew up on country music. Okay, so you're a fan.

I am a fan. I kind of have navigated away from it and I am more all encompassing. There was a period when my dad put on like 95.7 which was the hit music station and Outkast was on and it was saying like her really smells like poo, oo, oo. You know what I'm saying? Roses? Yeah, roses. And my dad was so offended by it and upset. He's like, the kids aren't listening to anything else.

Glad we Talked (18:45.186)
there's only less than a country. And that happened to be the same time when it was like, save a horse, ride a cowboy. I was gonna say, is country any better? Don't they just talk about like cheating on each other and like really sad things? Toby Keith was like singing about like drinking and stuff. So it was fun. Yeah, they talk a lot about drinking. It was cute, a dad moment, but we were like, my brothers and I looked back for like, yeah, the country channel was kind of crazy too. Nothing is good these days. Nothing is safe. So what have you been playing?

So I also chose music. Oh. Martin's mom recommended, so me and his mom have like the same taste in music. It's like very cute. Dance pop. More like Ed Sheeran. Oh, you love an Ed Sheeran song. Rag and Bone is other artists that we both like. Who's Rag and Bone? He's a UK artist. He's great. What is, is it dance pop? No. What is it? It's very like, not like R&B pop kind of. Like he's very soulful in his voice.

but it's a little bit more upbeat than R&B. Is it like Kygo? No, it's not dancey. It's like feel like in your feels. You know that song, Take Me to Church? Yeah, that's hosier, kind of like that. Hosier, it's kind of like that? Yeah, a little bit, but he's more soulful in his voice. I was just playing Teddy Swims before. Anyway, so the guy that I'm listening to is Teddy Swims. And I think he's been around for a while, but she introduced me to him and I've been loving him. Like.

such good music, like right up my alley. One of the songs is a little dancey that I really like, but for the most part, let me see if I go to his page and I can like see what the genre is. I was just doing the same thing because I'm pretty sure that Noah Kahn has done a song with Josier. And yeah, he did Northern Attitude, which I love. I think it's funny. And something funny is my friend, Matt, I think I've talked about Matt and his wife, Jenny, before. Yeah. Matt.

like listened to Jay-Z and was all about rap when we were growing up. And he was the first one that actually introduced me to Zach Bryan because he's obsessed with him and he saw him in a concert in Brooklyn. I kind of like the dynamic listening though. Like you have like one artist that's like hip hoppy and then another artist that's like close to you. Me too, oh, that's me too. Like, listen, I was listening.

Glad we Talked (21:02.274)
to Kanye and Blink-182 and Britney. All over the map. We had great music. Yeah, so John Ra, R&B country pop, R&B soul country pop, he's not really country. So I think that's where our blend over is, is with what's his name? Teddy Swims. Teddy Swims, hosier. Yeah. Move over to Noah Khan and then Zach Bryan. Yeah. I need to listen to Zach Bryan, because right now I'm thinking of the really country singer named Zach. It's not Luke Bryan. Luke Bryan. So this is, I'm just gonna play a clip really quick.

Glad we Talked (21:36.174)
I like this kind of music. Yeah, I mean it has that country feel to it. Yeah. But it's like a little bit more feely. Yeah, and your feels. It's folky, but not like, you know, really deep twangy. It's not a twang. I know what you mean. Oh yeah, I like this kind of music. This is kind of, oh, I like him. I know, I knew you were going to, because you were playing some music before. That was Teddy Swims. Oh, and I like that. Yeah.

Yeah, so that's our blend over. Okay. Okay, so I'm loving this actually. You know. Oh, I love this. Love this. This is my vibe. I knew it. Oh, this is the... Sorry, I thought it was the chorus. It's not. Yeah, I like this. It's like, to you, I'm just a man. Like, I also like Dermott Kennedy, James Arthur. I don't know.

Oh, they're very, they're also British. Maybe I just like British. You just want to be British, right? I just want to live in London and be British. God damn it. I suppose you didn't do Love Island. Born in the wrong country. I know, sorry. I didn't do Love Island because by the time I really knew about it, I met Martin. I discovered it like months before I met him. No, but I meant like, I thought for your report, you'd be like, what? Oh.

Yeah, that's what I meant too. Same, same, yeah. They were same. I was like, yeah, no, I was going to go on. I totally would have done The Bachelor, I think. If I really, I think my plan was like by 30. Yeah. Why not? It's not off the table. I don't know if I would have gotten casted. Yeah. Like this girl. No, I'm way too big for television. Not that I'm big, but like TV says I'm big. I thought you meant like too like.

Oh, no, no. Is that big? Okay, we're not even- Too curvy. Stop it. Too curvy for TV. I mean, I got you. It's the television. It's not me. No, I know. Every girl on TV is like a size two. Mid-size queens, I don't want mid-size queens. We don't want mid-size queens. We don't want mid-size queens, and that's who we are. And that's all I'm at. Okay, what's next? You are in charge of this, and then you're like, okay, I'm going to be organized. Okay, next is O. Obsessed with. What am I obsessed with? Okay, so I wrote down- You're mind corrupt.

Glad we Talked (23:49.47)
I mean, I am obsessed with Love Island always, so I feel like I couldn't write that one because it's just a given. Yeah. So I've had stomach issues for like ever, and I recently switched from coffee to something called mushroom coffee, and it's six different types of mushrooms ground into this powder that looks like coffee. Does it taste like coffee? It's a little softer. It doesn't taste like coffee, but it tastes a little bit like, when you add creamer, it tastes a little bit like a diet hot cocoa.

Like it has like that vibe. It doesn't taste like mushrooms at all. I hate mushrooms. I'm just like, what is a diet hot cocoa? Like it's not as rich as a hot cocoa, but it has like a similar vibe. Is it like hot cocoa with water? You know like how you make hot cocoa with milk and it's like fresh? Fire? Yeah. Yeah, well you have to make it with hot water, so yeah. Okay. But it's just, it's in the realm of, I would say more hot cocoa than it is coffee. It doesn't have that bitter taste. Okay. I am really enjoying it, but above all, it has helped my stomach.

so much. Do you not feel as like gassy? Okay, we're not gonna cut that. Anytime I would eat, my stomach would hurt, essentially. Like any lunch food, any dinner food, it would literally pain my stomach. And ever since I started drinking this, I can eat and like not be worried about being like super bloated, my stomach cramping. Literally since I have gotten like maybe one or two stomach issues since I've started it.

That's amazing. I know, I didn't think it was gonna work because I was like, oh whatever, I'm just gonna try it. And now I'm not drinking coffee, which is also a lot better for me. I'll have it like once a week, maybe I'll treat myself to like a latte. But I'm loving it, I drink it every morning. Wow. It's like $30 for the bag, which lasts about a little over a month. So it's like a dollar a coffee? Yeah, so it's a little bit more expensive than coffee. A lot more expensive than coffee. Well, if you're not going to Starbucks. Yeah, that's true. Saving. That's very true.

But like Nespresso pods I think are like $1.62 per shot or something. Exactly. And I'm really loving it and I'm obsessed. I drink it like every day. Does it have caffeine? Yes. It has half the amount of caffeine as coffee. So I would need four of them. Correct. So that's $4 on coffee. Still, still cost savings compared to Starbucks. Still a cost savings. I love a Starbucks coffee. Don't get me wrong. I still do too, but I'm trying to like, go more mushroom. It's held my stomach. So.

Glad we Talked (26:10.826)
I want to try it. Yeah, I can make some for you. And when I came over, I can bring a baggie with powder anytime. Did not come out how I intended to. We're not those types of girls, Chanel. Like it's just mushroom coffee, I swear. Anyway, what are you obsessed with? I also am obsessed with the drink.

that I have right here. Yes. So everyone knows I've been doing Dry January. And a few, like maybe six months ago, my friend had mentioned to me that whenever she like wants to have a drink, but doesn't feel like drinking, she'll get a seltzer with bitters. And I was watching Succession and at one point, Kendall Roy, I mean, hey, listen, they like swept the Emmys. They like won a lot of things, which well-deserved. Yeah. Loved that show.

But he ordered a seltzer water with bitters. Yeah. You said that and I can't remember the scene. I can't remember either. Yeah. It was so... Was it in the newer season? I can't remember. Okay. I think it was at the halfway point, if not. Yeah, and he just was sitting down somewhere and he was just like, I'll have a seltzer or a club soda with bitters. And I was like, huh. Huh. Yeah, and when you think of bitters, you usually think of a cocktail, something with bourbon. And I never would have thought of putting it in a seltzer. I'm obsessed with it.

Okay, you made it for me and I also am equally obsessed. It's nothing fancy. It's nothing fancy, it's like an elevated seltzer. It has a nice taste to it. You feel like you're weirdly doing something good for yourself, but you're not. Well, it's not bad for you. So bitters are actually a digestive. Okay. So people have taken like a teaspoon of bitters and let me be clear, bitters is like 250% alcohol.

but the quantity you're using is not enough to get you drunk. It's really not. There are drops. Drops in the water. It's like a tincture amount that you would be putting in. It's nothing crazy and it's so diluted. You put a little lemon or lime in there and it's like a mocktail. I really am into this. I went to the bar with my brother and Mitch. They were drinking, having a good time. And I was just like, I'll have a seltzer with bitters. And I drank like six of them. I love that. I was so hydrated. You probably also feel like

Glad we Talked (28:22.75)
a little bit like not buzzed, but you feel like you're doing something like you're vibing, you're in it and you're participating in the culture, but like you're not really like drinking like vodka or tequila or something. Right. And sometimes when you go in there like I'll have a club, a club soda. Yeah. They just like put a lime in it and it's not fun. And that's like, I mean, it gives you a little color. It's like an orangey color. I feel and you, they prepare it. It looks nice. They're like putting the bitters in. You have the seltzer. It's bubbly. It's refreshing.

I'm so into it. I come home and I'm like, I'm already obsessed with seltzer and you're obsessed with seltzer. Yeah. So it's a one win. I was like scared it was gonna, I didn't know what bitters really tasted like on its own. I've always just had it in a drink. So I was scared it was actually gonna be bitter, but it was actually, it's really good. Like you really don't taste it. No. It's such a light like accent to the seltzer, but it's good. It just adds a little, it's not like umami. It's just like a, it adds some depth to it.

I love it. Yeah. Okay, so what is after O? R? Recommending, what are you recommending? Gwen Stefani, I'm like, you know, banana. E-A-N-I-N. Yeah, recommending. Should I take this one? Yep. Okay, I am recommending the show Yellowstone. I know I'm a little late to the party. No, I haven't seen it. Okay, I recommended it to my parents and they're like, we don't like Kevin Costner, so.

and he is like a main character in it. And I don't know, I'm just like... They both don't like him? Yeah, they both like not, but he's a part actor. Like he plays a specific part. He's not like, you know, Christian Bale, that's like Batman and then he has someone else. Like he's just like, I'm Kevin Costner. I'm going to play a disgruntled old man with a deep voice. No, he's like a Western guy. I've heard Yellowstone is like the succession for the country.

Kind of, it's funny, Mitch told me, he was like, we should watch Yellowstone because it's like the sopranos for the country. Oh, okay. Kind of. So it's like a family. Family drama. Drama type thing. Yeah. Don't mess with me kind of thing. Yeah, the premise is there's this ranch, it's the Yellowstone Ranch, there's a whole culture away about the, and family way about the Yellowstone. It's near the park and they're kind of protecting the land. And then there's, it goes into like Native Americans.

Glad we Talked (30:42.346)
in history there and what they're trying to do with the land and get the land back. So it's very interesting. I guess there's also prequels that came out after, but I'm obsessed with it. It kind of also goes into my obsession with this like folky music. It's like I'm just in this zone. You're like in this vibe, yeah. Have you heard about the mob wife zone? Yeah, the mob wife aesthetic or era. Yeah, the mob wife era. I'm like ready to go into my Western.

wife era. Okay, I see this for you. Yeah, like I'm watching them in their denim and their cowboy boots and the cowboy hats and I'm like, I'm ready. You're telling me next time I see you, you might be wearing cowboy boots. I may be wearing cowboy boots moving to Colorado. Okay. With a cowboy. You're not, oh, so Mitch is going to be a cowboy now? He does have a cowboy hat and I'm kind of like, can I make Mitch into a cowboy? And I'm like, this Jersey tour. Yeah. I'm leaving the fist pumping home.

He's not going anywhere. I should, I'm better off becoming a mob boy. Yeah. I think you need to lean into what you got. All the Jersey girls with this new mob wife thing. They're like, I'm doing this forever. I'm like, tell them girls. Oh my God. So what are you obsessed with? Um, no, recommending. Oh, recommending. Yeah. Sorry. R E P O R T.

So I am recommending I'm gonna try not to do a beauty product every time Okay, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't start off with a beauty product. Mm-hmm So I've been loving the Charlotte Tilbury moisturizer. It's a face moisturizer. Mm-hmm I've been using it for a couple months now if you need a clean moisturizer What's the what's the official name of it Charlotte Tilbury moisturizer? Oh, really? It's moisturizer I didn't know if they you know how she has like the magic brand. Oh, yeah, I didn't know if it was part of that It's that okay

Hold on, let me get it. I love how Chanel's like, I'm gonna, it's not me if I don't do a beauty product. I'm like, what's its name? And you're like, it's moisturizer. And I'm like, no. Oh yeah, it's Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. Yes, okay. Okay. I've heard good things. Oh my gosh, not only do I love it, but everyone else that I've spoken to has tried it, has loved it. It's really moisturizing, but it's not greasy, which is like the most important part, I think. Like people don't like when their face is like greasy, and my skin's so dry, especially for the winter.

Glad we Talked (33:02.43)
It's, I'm loving it. Your skin always looks so like supple. Cause I hydrate, I literally put like four different moisturizers on. And then you drink about four seltzers with bitters. Anyway, I'm loving it. If you need a new moisturizer, I highly recommend Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream. I love her products just in general. Yeah, she's great. I feel like- She's also British. Didn't know that. Just putting that out there. But like, as I'm getting older, I was actually thinking about this other day.

As I'm getting older, I used to go to Sephora and be like, okay, where's the Urban Decay? Where's the Too Faced? And now I'm like aging into like the Laura Mercier and Mercie and the Charlotte Tilbury and different more subtle. Subtle makeup. Okay, I'm still in all of those, but I appreciate that about you. Yeah. I really love Tarte.

Tarte is like one of my favorite makeup brands, I think. I just ran out of my Tula moisturizer. Oh yeah, you were saying that. Julia, do you hear this? I loved it. I kept it by my bedside. Yeah. And I would just like finish my face before I went to bed. Yeah. I've used it. I do like it as well. I was like scraping my finger around it. I was like, please. Come back. And then I thought of Julian and was like. When you find it a good moisturizer, you gotta keep it.

Yeah, I'm okay. I like to work with products. So I'm thank you for that recommendation. I needed a new moisturizer. There you go Awesome. Do you know how much it is? I don't because I got it from work here I can look I can bring it well if you get one for work. I'm gonna say it's like $38 Let's say okay, if I'm right, it's 30. Oh, it's 30. Yeah. Okay Um, I have a gift card. It's good under makeup, too Oh, I was gonna ask that too. Does that you know how sometimes it pills? No. Oh, that's great. It doesn't pill Yeah, I guess that's because i'm using like my

drugstore. I'm like what? I'm like absolutely not. SPF moisturizer. Like no. Yeah no it doesn't feel, it's good. Yeah. Okay finally. Finally. It's the treating. Treat. What have we been treating ourselves to? So I am, I haven't done it yet but tonight I'm going to. I'm gonna treat myself to a new winter jacket. Wow. I have been using the same jackets.

Glad we Talked (35:12.494)
for many, like five, six years now and they lasted. The zipper broke on one the other day, the button broke on one this morning. Oh, it's time. Because it's so cold, I cannot be without a jacket. Freezing. Throw with me, I got one at Fabletics. Yeah. It's been nice. I also got one from TJ Maxx a few years ago. It's like not a Canada goose. I can't remember the name. It was Pajar, I think it's called. Okay. I liked it. Okay. I actually know, I got it.

I think on Saks Off Fifth. I do like department stores for winter jackets, which I was wondering if I had time to, but I like need one ASAP, so. I've heard good things about the aloe jackets. I don't know what your budget is, but. Aloe's so expensive. I know, it is. My Fabletics one wasn't bad. I don't know what you're looking for. Are you looking for a puffer? I want a puffer, but I want a long one, like a longer one. Have you heard of Canada Goose? I'm just kidding. Yeah, I would sweat in that, I think. It's so expensive. Yeah.

It is hard. Martin has one he doesn't use it because he says it's not cold enough here. Can you just take his? I asked him the other day and he's like, no. I would look ridiculous. That's so funny, oh my God. But he's like, it's so annoying because we literally walk outside and I'm like frozen. And he's like, this is like what winter is starting like in Canada. He's like, this is nothing. So cool. It'll be like 40 degrees. He's like, oh, what a nice day.

And I'm like, get out of my face. I'm freezing. He's still defrosting probably. Yeah, literally. He's just like, wow, 40 feels good. It does not bother him. Like last night he walked to Chipotle to get his dinner and I was like, I'll come with you. And then I walked outside and I was like, mm, no, I'm not coming actually. I took Brody to the dog park on Friday night last week and my nails. You froze. I couldn't feel my hands because I was throwing, I got him this like chewy stick thing. Yeah.

That was Rodie's treat. It's like one of the Chewy, the Chugget balls, but as a stick. Obsessed with it. That's what he's obsessed with. That's what Rodie's obsessed with. They're all the same thing. This one stick. He's like, ball, stick, ball, treat, stick. Recommending, stick. That's so funny. So I was like, I got some for you. Obsessed with, stick. Treat, stick. Wiki toy.

Glad we Talked (37:30.902)
That's so cute. That's the simple thing. The simple things. Oh, hello. Hi, Sub. Did you hear a treat? Oh, hello. What do you gotta say? Oh. That's usually what he says. Cute. Good job. Yeah. He recommends treat. Yeah. So your nail froze. Oh yeah. So I was throwing it and it was like in the snow and like it got wet and it was so cold. I think it was like 22 degrees. And by the time I got home, I was like, I can't, my fingertips underneath the nail hurts. Yeah. I had stuck my hand under the water. I was like, this doesn't feel better.

It took like 20 minutes. It's bad. It's really bad. And we don't even have it that bad. Like I think right now today feels like 13. And in some parts of Canada, it's negative 50. Gross. Have you ever been in negative 50 degree weather? No. I have. I don't think you're allowed to be outside. I went to Vermont and it was like negative 49 with a wind chill. Are you allowed to be outside? I don't know what we were doing. We were there for Melissa's bachelorette, but it was so cold. Like we didn't go outside. It was insane. I mean, we did, but we didn't. One night it was really cold.

Legally, legally, scientifically, can you like freeze water in that? Legally, are you allowed to go outside when it's that cold? Legally, can you freeze water in that? That's insane. Yes, that is 32 degrees freezes water. I feel sick thinking about that. Yeah, it was not fun. I don't recommend. Do not recommend cold weather. We don't recommend that. Do not recommend. I would recommend getting a trip somewhere else to get out of that. But

What are you treating yourself to? So I just randomly bought a new pair of sneakers, like an Adidas pair. So millennial of you. Is it? Adidas? But they're cool. Oh, okay. Well, as long as they're cool. They're not the gazelle, what is it? Gazelles or sambas. The ones we used to wear. Yeah, they're not those. They're like, they are very trendy on trend. They're beige, nude. But the thing is I just got rid of two white pairs of shoes

really needed to go. I've had them since like 2015. Another pair had a hole in them. So it's time to go. Look at us running our things into the ground. Yeah. I'm like, I need a new winter jacket. My button broke, my zipper broke. I had a hole in my sneaker. That's when you know. That's when you know it's time for something new. Yeah. So Mitch and I had gone shopping and I saw them and I was like, okay, you know what? This is the reason I'll get rid of my two shoes and I'll get a nice new pair that I can wear.

Glad we Talked (39:53.554)
Yeah, when the weather is warmer because right now I'm wearing my hugs. I'm only wearing boots. I can't even put sneakers on Yeah, too cold. Yeah, I feel you Um, I do like Adidas though They're really comfy and they last a long time though, cuz I still have a pair from 20 something 16 or something They're like my slip-on shoes now like to go like run an errand or something Yeah, but I still have them. These are the shoes. I yeah, I just got rid of my samba's recently

or the gazelles, I don't know which ones I had. You know, the OG ones. Yeah, the OG. Yeah, I just got rid of those. So, I mean, I do wear my stuff. It's not like I'm just getting rid of things. Yeah, I mean, we're clearly wearing it. I'm wearing it for a very long time. Yeah, so getting the most out of them. And sometimes I donate my clothes when I'm done. I mean, it depends on what stage they're in. I either textile or cycle, donate, leave them outside my door and make it someone else's problem if they wanna pick it up. Yeah, we do good will hold a lot. Yeah. So it's good to donate stuff.

Have you tried ThredUP? I've gotten a few things from ThredUP, like the packets, like to donate stuff, but I have a whole thing of ThredUP. I love how every questioner is like, it's a whole thing. It is, like from an industry perspective, like a fashion, ThredUP is a- Is it not good? No, it's fine. It's just like, I think it depends. Like it's a good thing. It's trying to make fashion circular, extend lifestyles and you know.

doing things. It's just like realistically, I don't know how much money you're making off of your things. So I don't know. Like if your end goal is to make money, I don't know. Like I've done Poshmark. Love Poshmark. Oh, someone messaged me on Poshmark. I forgot. Poshmark. I think some people have trouble selling everything though. They do. But sometimes you just have to leave it up. Just leave it. I got a message on these like red stilettos that have been up there for like four months and I just got a message on them. Okay. So you just got to wait it out. Yeah, I forgot someone messaged me about them. I've sold like two things on Poshmark.

Have you ever used Cupshe? I've heard of it. I have. So if you get stuff from Cupshe, the people are going to turn this into a pyramid scheme or something. But if you get something from Cupshe and you want to return it, you get more of a refund if you don't actually return the item. You get a store credit if you don't return it. So you keep it and you get full refund store credit. So I still have the items that didn't look good on me. They probably just don't know.

Glad we Talked (42:15.054)
I don't know. I think they're trying to be sustainable in a way, or it costs more for them to ship it back than it does for you to just keep the item and get store credit. So I had like a bunch of bathing suits that I didn't like return. And I was like, what do I do now? I've never bought bathing suits online like that. I need to know how they're gonna fit. Oh, I see. I have to say it's a good site though. Can you believe I went to Target the other day and they have bathing suits out? That's crazy. Did we not just talk about it's 13 degrees out? I guess it's for like the people that have trips lined up. That's fair.

People do other things. Yeah, people that are going on vacation. But I am just not mentally prepared for that. Yeah, I'm not mentally there. When I'm in snow boots, it did make me feel like, oh, I should go on vacation. But then I was like, one, money. Yeah. Two. Two, Boeing is a mess. I was just like, two, I don't want to put a bathing suit on right now. Oh, yeah, that too. I'm old. It's just funny. Yeah.

Anyway, that's our monthly report. Oh, this is fun. It was really great to hear some things and recommendations. And this was fun. Give us some new ideas. Yeah, I got to listen to some new artists. I know I feel like I haven't been like on my music game. So maybe I'll listen to Zach Brian and some more Noah Khan. Yeah. New TV shows. Yeah. New moisturizer. That was just great, because I literally ran out last night. I needed that. You're so welcome. Thank you. All right, ladies and gents.

I'm glad we got that. Ladies and gent. Ladies and Mitch and Morton. My brothers that listen to it by putting me on like volume zero and they're like, oh, let's enjoy this week. Didn't one of them say that they listen but they put them on mute. Yeah, Pat was like, oh yeah, I'm like, I know when someone in Philly listens and I'm like, Pat, thanks for listening. He's like, yep, just turn the volume all the way down.

I'm so messed up, but I love it. I know, that's my brother's. Yeah, what are you gonna do? My brother listens to you actually, so. He was so cute. Remember when he sent, we thought he sent us PR. We thought someone sent us PR. It was like our first episode and we're like, oh my God, we just got PR. Like I got PR from Sephora. Bye everybody. That was your brother. That was my brother. He still makes fun of me for that. It was cute. All right, well that's that on that. I'm glad we talked about it. Do you wanna plug our social?
