What's up, you guys? Welcome to another episode of Everything's Perfect D. Before we dive into today's topic.
- [00:17]
B
Lay it on me.
- [00:20]
A
Show the last 24 hours I've been holding this story for you. Okay. So you know, we started filming track Pilates this week. I was on set yesterday. It actually was a great day on set. Like, I was like, oh, my God, three workouts. Everything was so smooth. Had the best time. Get home. You know, I've been dealing with the floors up in the workout room. Y' all, these floors were not laid right. Like a two year old. These floors look like a two year old did it. And so I've been dealing with them and trying to get it redone and blah, blah. And I come home yesterday and they're like lifting the floors up and they're like, it's not level, but they're measuring the leveling with it on top of plastic and foam. And I'm like, what? What are we doing? The math isn't mathing.
- [01:08]
B
Okay.
- [01:10]
A
And then I come. So I spend like 45 minutes talking to the guy. He's like, still telling me how the baseboards aren't going to work and all this stuff. And I'm just like, oh, my God, why is it so hard? Like, they're. They're gym floors. You do this for a living. Lay them down. Get out of my gym. This must be seven days we're on. Five weeks.
- [01:24]
B
Yeah.
- [01:25]
A
Okay. I go in the house and Ken's like, okay, sorry, one more thing. And I'm like, perfect. What now? Okay, if you know me, if you follow me, my dad, I love him to death, but he's like a little bit of a pain in my ass.
- [01:40]
B
Oh, God.
- [01:41]
A
Okay, so remember I had moved him out of the condo and into the Q apartments. This was like a year and a half, two years ago. So move him into these apartments because he was struggling with the stairs in the. In the condo. Yes. Okay. Move him into an apartment. And he's there for three months and he's bitching and moaning because it's supposed to be a non smoking building and people are smoking. And then it's supposed to be a small dogs only and one dog per person. And people have two dogs and they're enormous. They're like horses. Okay. Supposed to be noise ordinance at 10. There's like parties. Like, remember our sex story? He had like one of those above. Yeah. And. And then he started to have some health issues. And so we moved him back to Ohio. And we had talked to the People at the queue.
- [02:23]
B
Just a funny leap. He wouldn't quit bitching. So we were like, all right, 2,000 miles away.
- [02:29]
A
Well, no, that.
- [02:30]
B
I know that's. But that's how it sounds to me.
- [02:32]
A
Like a little bit.
- [02:33]
B
So, you know, it was, if you're not happy with the apartment, dad, back to the Midwest, see how winter treats you.
- [02:40]
A
Anyway, literally. But he was also having some health issues. And I'm just with my work schedule, I wasn't around to like, take care of him as much. So we decide it's better if he goes back to Ohio where all our family is, his sisters are, and they can help take care of him. So we talk to the people at the queue and we're like, hey, he's only three months into a 12 month lease. Like, what's this going to mean? But mind you, I. I'm on the lease because I'm the one paying for it. And they're like, well, you're responsible for the lease until we release the build. Until we release the unit. Okay. And I'm like, okay, but you are going to put it up for lease and try to find somebody. Yes. You'll let me know when that happens? Yes. So dad moves out. I pay the first month that he's gone. Great. Nothing. Pay the second month. Nothing. Mind you, this apartment building is in like huge demand. And then all of a sudden, one day I get this like, letter that says I owe them $20,000. It says I owe them the, the rent for the entire lease. And I'm like, well, why would I pay you $20,000? Like, I'm paying you month to month. Like, I'm paying you the monthly rent.
- [03:42]
B
Right.
- [03:43]
A
And we. I've already been over this. That if you're going to charge me, like, if I have to keep paying, it's my apartment and I'll use it. I'll use it as an office.
- [03:49]
B
Yeah.
- [03:50]
A
But I'm reading this note and so I call them and I'm like, by the way, did you rent it? They're like, oh, yeah, we rented it out last month. You. So it had already been rented for a month. I had already paid for it. And you sent me a $20,000 bill. Go back and forth. It's like impossible to get anybody long and short. They're like, you're right, I'm a mistake. So yesterday when I get home from set and I'm having a good day, and then I deal with the flooring people and they piss me off and I go inside and Ken says, one more Thing. And he goes, you got a letter from collections. From the queue, everybody.
- [04:19]
B
Oh, my God.
- [04:20]
A
And yes, I will drop an F bomb when it's necessary. And I was just, like, fully necessary. You guys. Like, like, now I gotta deal with this. So I'm trying to deal with these floors. They're driving me crazy because they're like, oh, we can't do this. We can't do that. I'm like, things you should have told me before we started the project. Oh, $20,000.
- [04:39]
B
That is so annoying. And it's so frustrating when people do a negative credit reporting because it's so such a hassle to deal with.
- [04:49]
A
Right.
- [04:49]
B
And when it's not your fault.
- [04:51]
A
I was like, I pay my bills. Like, let's not act like I'm trying not to pay my bills. So today I'm on set, and I'm, like, trying again. Day two, free workouts. I gotta film. We were having a couple little tech issues. Screens kept going in and out. But in the meantime, Kent's texting me, like, I need you to approve this for the floor. And I'm like, I'm working. But here's the. Here is the. Everything's perfect where it did. Little bonus. So I'm driving home, and I get a call from a 615 number. Nashville. I was like, oh, who's this? And I answer, and it was the collection company. But the woman was super nice, and I explained to her the whole thing, and she's like, okay, let me dig it. Like, let me dig into this. I've got everything I need. We should be able to get this resolved. So fingers crossed. That's the upside.
- [05:32]
B
Oh, good.
- [05:33]
A
That hopefully they will get it resolved.
- [05:36]
B
It's not often you hear about a good conversation with the collection.
- [05:39]
A
Right.
- [05:40]
B
Agent.
- [05:41]
A
It's because she was from Nashville, and Nashville people are so nice.
- [05:43]
B
They are. They really are. That Southern ish charm.
- [05:47]
A
Yeah. So everything's perfect. Except that I'm hemorrhaging money and not getting anything that I'm supposed to be getting for Everything's Perfect.
- [05:56]
B
Except my credit just got tanked for no reason. I can't work out in my gym for the foreseeable future. But other than that, who could ask for more?
- [06:06]
A
But there's a matcha sitting here that Donald made me, and I'm super excited. Donald, is everything perfect with you?
- [06:13]
B
So everything. The fact that I'm alive is, I guess, a good place to start. But I did. I did do something that I've never done. So, you know, when we met, I was Vegan. And I was so intense about it. I was like, I will not not be vegan.
- [06:28]
A
Oh, I know.
- [06:29]
B
Like, when we were looking at nutrition for 80 day obsession, I was like, I gotta be the vegan guy, because. And so now that I'm not, you're like, I'm really not buying other things. So my friend had a birthday, and she was like, we're gonna start with a wine tasting on the roof. And so she had some nice wine, and there was a sommelier there who was breaking it down for us. And there was, like, a charcuterie board. And, um.
- [06:54]
A
I love good charcuterie board.
- [06:55]
B
Yeah, well, I. Well, I love the idea of it, but I really haven't indulged because of meat and cheese. Well, anyways, he was like, now that you've tasted this wine. And it was between these two wines. And I kept liking the cheaper ones, which I hated about myself, because I was like, bitch, you're supposed to have expensive taste. And you're. You're over here. Like, I really like the budget one too much, Chuck. Yeah. And so he was like. He was like, all right, well, taste the. The nicer one. I think it was a crystal, actually. And then he was like, oh. He was like, and now have a bite of cheese and try it. And I was like, do I dare? So I did. And first of all, that was cool, because it really did change the profile of the wine so much. And I immediately was like, oh, it's okay. I'm fancy again. It's fine. I like the rich one. Now I just have to have it with a little cheese. But then for dinner after the wine tasting, we went to a Korean barbecue. In my mind, that was the same as, like, when you go to a hibachi grill, which is kind of fun because you can still get plenty of veggies. If you ask for extra veggies, you like. I'm not saying it's a healthy meal, but it's just one that, like, I feel like you can navigate around. And. And I really. And my favorite kind of meat to eat is still seafood.
- [08:17]
A
Okay.
- [08:18]
B
So I was like, you know, I get shrimp. Whatever. Well, we went to Korean Bar, and it's. It's one of those places where you grill the food in front of you. Have you ever been to one of those?
- [08:27]
A
Not like that, no. But I know what you're talking about.
- [08:30]
B
Literally, first there was eight of us, and I'm talking about a cup the size of the palm of my hand is the veggies they had on the table. I was like, where's everybody else's? And I'm gonna need some more of that.
- [08:43]
A
Or more.
- [08:44]
B
Yeah. And then they brought the meat, and it's literally on plates and just piles of raw meat. And I'm like, oh, my God. And in one of it, I was like, what are those big circles in that meat? They were like, that's the bones that they saw through.
- [08:59]
A
It escalated quickly.
- [09:01]
B
It was so intense. I was like, talk about having to directly see the weight of your decisions in eating meat. I was like, well, I guess this is part of what I need to be okay with. And I was. So I went for it because I was like, you know, you had the cheese. Don't act like you're above. Above this. You're here in the experience. So I had most of it, but it was just. I couldn't get my Ryan. My mind around. I work part time at a restaurant, and I know that people aren't putting real elbow grease into cleaning those tables. And I'm like, there's salmonella all over everything in this place.
- [09:40]
A
So anyways, so this is why you're lucky you're alive.
- [09:42]
B
Yeah, I'm lucky I'm alive. It tasted good. But when I tell you, I was like, I'm going to have the meat sweats tonight. And that is something I never wanted to experience. I looked over at now like, boy, not if our relationship can survive the next 12 hours, then we can pace anything together. So that was my new experience this week. And I don't. I don't foresee myself wanting to go again to one of those places. But, no, I'll try anything twice. Yeah.
- [10:17]
A
So everything's perfect except the meat sweat. Meat sweats?
- [10:21]
B
Yeah.
- [10:21]
A
Yes. Okay. How. Have you tried your matcha yet? So today, y' all, we're talking about trends, things that are on trend. I am not on trend. I can tell you that, because I had to look it up. Yeah, literally hit your girl with a stir there. Okay, first of all, we're having some matcha. Matcha's on trend, but I don't drink it because it's on trend. I've been drinking matcha for years, but now what are we gonna do with that green dip spoon? Okay, this is a fun one because I was, like, reading things and people were like. Like, somebody did a post on Tick Tock and it was like, girls, tell me what are popular, like, things that are popular right now and that you would not spend money on. And we're going to get into it. But one of the Things was matcha and somebody was like, I see all these influencers drinking matcha and I don't think they're really drinking it because it's nasty. I have to tell you guys, if your matcha is nasty, it's because you bought a cheap. You can't be a cheap when it comes to matcha. I'm just going to call like it is.
- [11:21]
B
That is one thing. You're so right. Because I remember when you. Well, maybe not when you first started talking about Match. I think it was the first time I was going all in doing the gut protocol four week gut protocol and you could only have coffee three times a week or something if you did it correctly. And so I got some Matcha and I looked at on Amazon and I was like, oh, this is some really nice affordable Matcha. And when I tell you it was not good, there is such a difference. Yes, you definitely need to invest.
- [11:52]
A
So depending on where you're listening to this or if you're watching us on YouTube, your matcha should be literally like shamrock green. Like, it's the color of the jumpsuit I have on right now, by the way. I'm in my sweats, which are also my pajamas that I technically have had on since 6 o' clock this morning because I came straight from set. Also spilled matcha in my crotch on the way to set this morning. Literally looked like I peed my pants. At least it was green on.
- [12:15]
B
I'm like, you had the perfect outfit for it.
- [12:17]
A
But I was so mad because then I had wet crotch all morning until I put on my workout clothes and my makeup artist was like, oh, you got some on your shirt. And I was like, nope, that's an oil stain. Everything's perfect except your girl. But your matcha should be bright green. If your matcha is like yellowish yellowish brown, that is some oxidized matcha. It's gonna taste like dirt. It's gonna be bitter like the matcha Dee and I are drinking right now. My brother actually lives in New York and there's this little matcha house that we found. And it's from there because when we went in there, all the matcha was in the refrigerator. And I was like, wait, is your matcha supposed to be refrigerated? And they're like, yeah, if it's really good quality. And I was like, wait a minute, what have I been drinking? Because I actually get a pretty good one from, you know, erewhon all your dollars. And it is good, like matcha full, but it's not in the refrigerated section. But then I made this, and I was like, oh, yeah, this needs nothing but water. It's smooth, it's creamy, it's silky. It's delicious.
- [13:15]
B
It really is.
- [13:16]
A
I can say it's not a trend I love. Gives me steady energy without the jitters. So if you haven't jumped on the.
- [13:25]
B
Matcha trend, it's really good. I will. Like, I'm loving this. And I always mix something else with my matcha.
- [13:32]
A
Right. So if I had to rate it fab or flop, Matcha's a fab. It's got some health benefits in there, antioxidants in there for you. It's good for your brain. Some studies show that it can help support. I'm going to say help support weight loss. I don't think it's going to make a drastic difference, but help. Listen, we'll take all the help we can get in all areas. Exactly what I'm here for.
- [13:55]
B
Let's go. All I do is drink matcha. There's a constant green.
- [13:59]
A
Green tongue. Yeah. Looks like you had a good time with a leprechaun.
- [14:03]
B
Exactly. Well, Nell is a redhead.
- [14:07]
A
Okay, we digress.
- [14:09]
B
Yeah. I love it. And I. I feel I have always loved. Well, first of all, this is the.
- [14:16]
A
Most awkward way to try to set.
- [14:17]
B
Like, we're just so careful to not spill on.
- [14:20]
A
On the white furniture.
- [14:21]
B
Yeah. First of all, people who are like, I don't like Matcha. I. I think adults should normalize learning to like something. Because the first time you drank wine, I don't care who you are, you can't like it.
- [14:35]
A
No, it wasn't.
- [14:35]
B
Maybe you grew to like it and now you can. Same thing with coffee. I remember the first time I had coffee, and if it didn't have so.
- [14:44]
A
Much, oh, my God, I have, like, three packs of Sweet and Low in there.
- [14:47]
B
Exactly.
- [14:49]
A
And a bottle of milk.
- [14:50]
B
And still, if it's the first time I had it, I was like, I'd rather have a hot chocolate.
- [14:54]
A
Yeah.
- [14:54]
B
So I think that learning to enjoy different flavor profiles is a really cool thing that we can still do as adults. Just because you're in, you know, your 30s or 40s doesn't mean that you can't try and learn to like something new. And I think that might be a thing because matcha is earthy.
- [15:12]
A
It is.
- [15:13]
B
You're right. It is. So this is so smooth and good. So I love it. Fabulous.
- [15:18]
A
Keep it fabulous. The other thing I was going to say was fun. Little sort of health fact about it. Is this is about your taste buds. So you're. You actually produce an enzyme. There was a study done on, I think I want to say it was the University of Buffalo. It's been a while since I've talked about this study, so I could be wrong, but I think it was University of Buffalo. Basically, we produce an enzyme, like, so it's going to change the way things taste to you. But have you ever heard people say, like, oh, you have to try something up to seven times before you'll like it?
- [15:44]
B
No, but that. This. I'm interested.
- [15:46]
A
So they've said that for a long time. You have to try something up to seven times. So if you don't like the first time, try it. So 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 times. And they figured out why. It's because we have an enzyme that will literally adjust and change the way something tastes. So if you don't like it the first time, one look at the color. Because, again, if it's like brown, brownish yellow, greenish yellow, it's not good quality Matcha. It's never going to taste good. But if it's something bright green, it's a really good quality. And you're just, like, not sure. You know, you're used to something really sweet. That's just your palette that you have to give time to adjust. You kind of got to detox it if you've been overloading it with, like, sugar versions of it. And then once you do, fabulous.
- [16:26]
B
Yeah, it's really good. And it's so true about the color, the. The color of the powder before you mix it. You can get quality Matcha on Amazon. But I just the one time went with the cheapest one, and when I opened that bag, I was like, this doesn't look like the other one.
- [16:43]
A
They put dirt in about.
- [16:45]
B
I think I ordered the wrong thing. And I did. It was not good.
- [16:50]
A
So there's a box sitting here. We might as well just talk about this one before we get into, like, fashion and everything. One of the big ones that people. So when that poll was up and people were like, it was one of the things you won't spend money on. People were like, crumble cookies that they won't. They won't. They were saying no to crumble cookies now. Yes. Your fitness and nutrition expert just bought the crumble cookies. First of all, D. I was kind of mad because I listen, people love us or hate us, I'm gonna say it. I like the Kardashians. Like, I like watching their show. I'm here for it.
- [17:22]
B
I Love them.
- [17:23]
A
We missed their week at Crumble. They had their own version of cookies. Courtney had one that was like gluten free and low sugar, and I really wanted to try it. And it. I called them today to be like, is that over? And they're like, yeah, you missed it.
- [17:38]
B
I was like, damn, I thought you meant the Kardashians. I was like, oh, you know them like that. Invite them over.
- [17:44]
A
Listen. I was on Revenge Bo Potty with Chloe. She filmed at my house in Calabasas because I was one of the trainers on the show. I trained Kendall for like eight months when she was 17, like, right before she signed her big Victoria's Secret contract. I had been working with her. I trained Kylie twice. She was pretty young at the time. I've met Chris. They live down the street from me. But yeah, it's. I mean, I'm not. No, we're not.
- [18:08]
B
I'm like, invite them to my birthday.
- [18:10]
A
I would love to, Donald. Also, Courtney's got a new show. Or not. Courtney, Chloe has a new show coming out. It's called Calabasas behind the Gates. It's all about Hidden Hills, which is where I am.
- [18:19]
B
Chloe, we're right around the corner. Boo.
- [18:23]
A
I'm little Red Bus stop. Come find me. I'm happy to be on it. You want a Pilates session? Come on in, girl.
- [18:30]
B
I just gotta say about these cookies. I just opened the box and when I tell you guys, the smell that just. Is it wafted or wafted?
- [18:39]
A
Wafted.
- [18:39]
B
Wafted into my face.
- [18:42]
A
He said vegan.
- [18:45]
B
Yeah.
- [18:46]
A
Not to.
- [18:46]
B
Yeah, I've already blown it this week.
- [18:48]
A
I think you should hold those up for the camera to see.
- [18:52]
B
So if you guys can see.
- [18:54]
A
They do different cookies every week. I ordered the mini ones because I was like, we don't need to be like, I still got another day of filming to go here. But Crumble cookies, we're gonna talk about Fab or flop. And by the way, I mentioned Pilates. We're gonna talk about that because Pilates seems to be trending right now. But again, not a trend.
- [19:08]
B
I'm gonna take a picture of these so we can post them too, if you're listening. By the way, these episodes are always on YouTube and you can come check out all the magic of Autumn's green grease stained jumpsuit.
- [19:20]
A
I'm trying. Listen, D, I'm trying to hide my feet up in here because you know me, I'm always like, barefoot and then people doing crazy things with photos of my feet.
- [19:30]
B
I'm about to do some crazy Things with these cookies.
- [19:34]
A
What do we have? Let's try at least two. So there was like a chocolate here. Wait. I'll tell you what flavors we got. There was like a chocolate chip. There was something peanut buttery. Dom saw that box show up, by the way. He was like, what? Crumble? I was like, back up. It's for an episode.
- [19:51]
B
So what is your usual favorite? Like, are you like a vanilla chocolate peanut butter?
- [19:55]
A
First of all, I am a cookie girl. Like, I have a sweet tooth. So if. If the choice comes to dessert, a cookie is like a go to for me. I'm a chocolate girl. Like a chocolate chip cookie. A good one. That's like a little gooey on the inside, a little crunchy on the outside. Like, rim. Yes. I love anything. Peanut butter. But I'm really not supposed to eat peanut butter. Kind of tears my stomach up. So they have semisweet chocolate chunk this week. Peanut butter cup, Reese's vanilla crumb cake cookie with golden Oreo frosting, confetti, and a chocolate cookies and cream cookie. So there's repeats in there because I had to pick 12 and they only had five flavors. What do you want to try?
- [20:40]
B
All of them. This episode's going to go longer because I'm going to be eating.
- [20:45]
A
You're going be trying pieces.
- [20:46]
B
I think I want to try. Which one is this? Chocolate.
- [20:48]
A
That's the chocolate Oreo. All right, well, if you're trying chocolate Oreo. But I'm going to do this. Oh, I should keep my face by the microphone. I'm going to do this with, like, the tiniest cuz. You know, can't be being a pig.
- [21:01]
B
Yeah, you're filming. Oh, I love this. That sounds good.
- [21:11]
A
That's. I'm not going to lie. That's good. I'm not mad at.
- [21:16]
B
It just turned into an ASMR or whatever. Okay.
- [21:23]
A
I feel like we should pace ourselves and talk about some other trends while we eat these cookies.
- [21:26]
B
Okay.
- [21:27]
A
But by the way, fab, I'm not mad at the crumble thing. Yes, I'm a fitness and nutrition expert, and yes, I tell people to keep their sugar intake, like added sugar intake very low. I wouldn't do this every day. And I'm not gonna eat a whole one. I'm gonna try bites of it. That's how I like to do it. You want to eat one whole one? You do. You boo. It's all about your own choices. But we were talking trends, and I figured we had to.
- [21:51]
B
I'm interested. Why anyone wouldn't, like, wouldn't like this, like, why this is a trend.
- [21:59]
A
I think it's people like, literally just wanna. What's the word? Is it rebuke? Is that the right word? Like they just want to go against the grain. Like, oh, it's trendy. Like, everybody's doing it. I wouldn't waste my money on it. It's there. I will say this. They're pricey. They are pricey for a cookie. I mean, you could make these at home for like $5.
- [22:22]
B
Yeah, I don't know. They're pretty good. I don't know if I could make these at home.
- [22:30]
A
Would you? You tried the Funfetti.
- [22:32]
B
Okay.
- [22:32]
A
Donald's like, not wasting time. I was like, let's eat them as we go through the episode. Donald's like, four cookies. No, I'm kidding. He's not.
- [22:39]
B
Not yet.
- [22:41]
A
Sugar cookie.
- [22:43]
B
I know. I used to like really hate on those. I feel like this, this could turn into a cookie episode.
- [22:49]
A
I did it all for the cookie.
- [22:50]
B
I'm like, yeah, I have a new idea for a podcast. You just eat sweets and talk about them.
- [22:55]
A
Oh, my God. Oh, that's good.
- [22:58]
B
Okay, so another trend. So this is one I've been seeing a lot. And actually everyone made fun of me when I was a teenager because. So I have flat feet. I actually a little about me. It's okay. It's going to Birkenstocks.
- [23:16]
A
Oh, okay.
- [23:16]
B
And I had like the clog style of Birkenstocks, which I think you said are.
- [23:21]
A
They're calling them potato shoes. So I had to look it up when I saw that because people were like, I would not buy potato shoes. And I'm like, what the f is a potato shoe? And I looked up and I was like, oh, God, can we just call what they are? It's a Birkenstock. It's like, yeah, toe Birkenstock.
- [23:34]
B
Yeah. So I had that and I. My grandparents bought me my first pair. I think I was probably like 15 and I wore those shoes every season. They didn't have any backs on them. And in Ohio back then we get like 2 or 3ft of snow and I was still rocking those closed toed Birkenstocks.
- [23:53]
A
We would wear them with socks.
- [23:54]
B
Yeah, they felt good on because they had so much support in the arch. But also I like the way my pants laid on them because I felt like I was insecure about being short and I, I felt like with my pants bunched up on my shoes. So I was obsessed with those things. And I would say, well, they're good for my feet because they're flat. But really, they were fashion for me. Now I hate. I never, like, never. Never say never. But I can't imagine myself ever going back to wearing those shoes again.
- [24:27]
A
Okay? So I. Because they were expensive back in the day when we were younger, so I remember begging for them. Finally got a pair of. Wore them until you could just. Couldn't wear them no more. Like, pour the out of them. I mean, they're not. They're not really fashion cute. Right. And the potato version, which is the clothes closed. No, I. I get that people are, like, jumping on it. And first of all, I guess I can only say so much because, you know, I got my ugg slippers that I wear everywhere, and people mock me for those things. My black ones that have the. The fur that I always wear to set. Like, Nikki was just making fun of me for them.
- [25:04]
B
Yeah, but you wear them to set, like.
- [25:06]
A
Yeah, but I'll walk into a grocery store in those. After set, I'll walk into a Starbucks.
- [25:10]
B
Yeah, but would you wear them?
- [25:12]
A
Like, I wouldn't wear them for fashion. Like, I wouldn't be like, oh, we're going out to dinner. I'm gonna wear them. Or like, oh, I'm going out for the day, I'm gonna wear them, but I'll wear them to set. And they have a hard bottom. And so I'll wear it. Like, if I've got to go run an errand afterwards, I will. So I can only talk so much smack about an ugly shoe, but no thank you on the potato shoe. Yeah.
- [25:31]
B
People called me for years. They said, o' Donnell and his Jesus sandals.
- [25:36]
A
Yeah.
- [25:36]
B
And so I was like, I. Maybe I just can't go back there. But if you like them, good for you.
- [25:40]
A
Yeah. Rock them. That we're not, by the way, this is not a.
- [25:43]
B
It's an opinion show. We don't know. Okay.
- [25:46]
A
Definitely not a fashionista around here. I'm just telling you, I don't want to wear a potato shoe.
- [25:50]
B
We're just eating our cookies and talking.
- [25:52]
A
About what we like.
- [25:54]
B
Speaking of ugly shoes, Crocs are really. And the thing. I don't remember this from last time, but I wasn't a big croc guy. Even adults are, like, like, putting charms on their crops.
- [26:05]
A
Oh, yeah. It's like, a thing. And, like, you can get, like, Chanel charms and, like.
- [26:11]
B
Yeah.
- [26:12]
A
Dior. I think so.
- [26:15]
B
This is gonna be controversial. I think I'm here for it.
- [26:17]
A
For crocs.
- [26:18]
B
I don't have a pair. I always jump on These trends late.
- [26:22]
A
Now I know what dog birthday present is.
- [26:26]
B
My brother has a camo pair. And I. I think my brother's so cool. Both of my brothers. But I'm talking about Joey. And. And now, like, his daughter has a pair, his wife has a pair, he has a pair. And I'm like, okay, I want a pair.
- [26:40]
A
Here's what I'm gonna say. I think about Crocs. It depends on the person wearing them. Joey's a cool guy, right? He's gonna make it look cool. He's gonna style it, right? You're a cool guy. You're gonna make it look cool. My brother wears them. Bobby wears them because they're super supportive, I guess, to him when he's cooking. So, like, when he's in the kitchen all day on his feet can't say they look cute when Bobby does them. Like, Bobby's just wearing them in the kitchen. I' hideous. And he's like, my back feels great. I'm like, do you? Boo. I remember a few years ago when they first, like, were a trend. Dominic would beg me for them. You guys, I was a bad mom. I refused for so many months. I finally gave in, like, at the tail end. And I was. Every time he put them on, I was mad at him. I was like, you make me look not cool. Like, those things are so ugly. I can't believe you're leaving the house.
- [27:33]
B
Well, the thing for me is, I always wear inserts. Actually, if. Fun fact, I wish I remembered what program it was. But I. I said, oh, grandma or something in one of our filming. Because I had. I. I wear arts. I have them in my shoes right now. Art supports that were made for my grandmother two years before I was born in 1983. And every time I've got some damn.
- [27:59]
A
Arch supports that are made for your foot.
- [28:01]
B
It's like, literally in one of them is, like, the rubber. Not rubber, but, like, the topping. Which one?
- [28:10]
A
I'm going do it. Okay. Backyard sports.
- [28:13]
B
Like, they're out of the same material that dog toys are made out of. I think, like, my old roommate's dog chewed one of them up. I'm still walking on them things.
- [28:22]
A
All right, I'm dead over your arch.
- [28:24]
B
So that's the only reason I haven't bought Crocs. Because I'm like, how will I put my 1983 art supports in them?
- [28:32]
A
That. Oh, I know. That's what he's gonna say.
- [28:40]
B
So good. That was the peanut butter. Reese's one or whatever.
- [28:47]
A
I'm gonna need you all to watch this episode on YouTube because Donald's face just now, he just orgasmed. That was good. Yeah, That'll give you a tongue pop and everything.
- [28:58]
B
Exactly.
- [28:58]
A
I'm gonna have so much phlegm later, but it's cool.
- [29:02]
B
You'd have to put my sleeping machine on.
- [29:06]
A
Can't wait to see what I look like in my workout clothes on set tomorrow. Perfect.
- [29:11]
B
Perfect.
- [29:12]
A
Okay, so crocs you say are fab, I sort of am going with. For me, they wouldn't be fab. I don't think I can rock them.
- [29:20]
B
Yeah.
- [29:21]
A
I just don't think I have that. That, that edge, that style. I'm gonna look like. I'm not gonna make ugly things look cute. I'm gonna make it look like a 40 year old mom. I might as well throw on some mom jeans with it and it still won't be cool. Mom jeans. It's. I'm gonna look ridiculous.
- [29:38]
B
Yeah.
- [29:38]
A
So it's gonna be a flop for me, but you rock those Uggs. Or not. The Crocs. And if there's a certain pair you want, you just let me know. I got you.
- [29:47]
B
I will.
- [29:48]
A
Okay, wait. So there were other things that. Let me pull up the list of things that people were saying, because honestly, y' all, some of these things, I had no idea what they were.
- [29:58]
B
I have one that you mentioned. I'd like to ask you what you think about the barrel pants. Do you have a pair?
- [30:03]
A
The barrel jeans.
- [30:04]
B
Barrel jeans. Yeah.
- [30:05]
A
I think it depends on the brand. So here's the deal. I had bought a pair from the brand same. And I put them on and they were actually really cute because they weren't. Weren't the, like, the crazy wide barrel. The only problem was I ordered them in a. Like, I never know my size. I'm sort of between two sizes. Like, it really depends on the style of the jean and how it's made. So I kind of looked to see what they said, and they said it ran small. So I ordered it a little. I sized up they were too big, and I was like, damn, these are cute. But they were expensive, so I had to send them back no matter what because they were too big. And I decided not to reorder them because while they were super cute, I did not imagine myself wearing them all the time. In hindsight, I kind of feel like I should because I was telling you, like, jeans don't hit me right lengthwise because I'm short and the barrel jeans are a little shorter at the ankle. That would work well with another trend. That's going on right now, which is the ballet slipper flat, which I do like, and I have a pair, and every time I put them on, I'm like, this looks ridiculous because my jeans are too low. So then I take the ballet slipper shoe off and put on a huge heel and I'm like, damn it. I just want to walk around in a flat today.
- [31:14]
B
Yeah.
- [31:15]
A
So. So I actually think the. The barrel jeans are really cute, But I do think it's one of those ones where, like, I don't know how much money I want to spend on that trend. I don't imagine it's going to be around for very long.
- [31:29]
B
It's such a specific look.
- [31:31]
A
Yeah.
- [31:31]
B
And I don't know, like, for me, I. I would not wear them, but I think it is more of a girl. I could totally be wrong. I've seen guys in in the barrel jeans, but I. I think they look cute on, like. I think that they cater more for women than they do for men.
- [31:47]
A
I do too. I'm beating the heck out of this microphone trying to get to this cookie.
- [31:51]
B
Nothing will get in your way.
- [31:52]
A
What is this one?
- [31:53]
B
You and a cookie, I guess. Not this. I forget.
- [32:00]
A
That's aggressive.
- [32:02]
B
Too much.
- [32:05]
A
That's a lot of frosting.
- [32:07]
B
See, I am way more of it. Like, are you a for cake? Are you more of a cake or frosting person?
- [32:12]
A
I want a little frosting and I want all the cake.
- [32:14]
B
Yeah, I'm a cake. I'm a cake guy. I think that's why I like cookies with the sugar.
- [32:20]
A
I'm making so many noises into this microphone right now, it's ridiculous. It's good. It's just I wouldn't be able to eat that whole cookie. Yeah, it's a lot that peanut butter one. Shut your face. We haven't tried the chocolate chip yet, but okay. So barrel jeans, I think, again, it depends on who's wearing them. I'm sorry. I'm lip smacking because my throat making noise.
- [32:44]
B
I hope this lands how we want.
- [32:46]
A
I'm still here for the scramble cookie trend, y' all. Eating while we're filming, drinking, we're doing.
- [32:51]
B
All the things I talk about that no one's ever seen.
- [32:57]
A
If you go back to Hammer and Chisel, there's a photo of me and Sagi at the end of filming Hammer and Chisel, and they got us a giant chocolate chip cookie and he's holding it up and I am just, like, going to town on that sucker.
- [33:08]
B
I remember because I did it all for the cookie My first program, like I think we talked about for was 21 day fix extreme. And I remembered, like in B roll or after the program, there was footage on that DVD of you and the cast having a cookie and saying, you did it all for the cookie. And I was like, oh.
- [33:25]
A
Huh. I turned into one of the shirts that was part of my clothing line with Bodi. When we launched it, the saying was, I did it all for the cookie because of Fixed Extreme. Fun fact. There was supposed to be a cake at the end of that filming and they messed up and didn't get a cake, and so they went and got us cookies from somewhere. But I love a good cookie, so it worked out. And all I ever hear is the Limp Biscuit song in my head every time, isn't it? I did it all for the cookie. Cookie. Is that Limp Bizkit?
- [33:53]
B
I don't know.
- [33:54]
A
Do you know the song? It's good. Insert song here.
- [34:03]
B
I don't care what we have to do for the licensing. Play the song. Hit it.
- [34:11]
A
Yo, dj, drop that beat.
- [34:14]
B
Hey.
- [34:16]
A
I want to be a dj. I think I'd be a good dj.
- [34:19]
B
I.
- [34:23]
A
I just saw all your food.
- [34:25]
B
Like, okay.
- [34:28]
A
Chew, swallow. I'll fill the dead air.
- [34:30]
B
Well, the nice thing about cookies is you have to have to suck on them till they, like, turn into butter again in your mouth. It's great.
- [34:39]
A
Literally, you can reverse engineer it. You're like, that's butter. Oh, there's sugar cookie batter.
- [34:44]
B
Yeah.
- [34:48]
A
Killing this episode.
- [34:50]
B
Crushing it. I wanted to be a DJ recently. Like, I was like, I know I have what it takes. I just need someone to teach me because I'll hear songs and be like, like, this song should loop in. Or this would be her, you know, like.
- [35:04]
A
But I haven't learned a DJ together.
- [35:07]
B
And we should.
- [35:07]
A
We could be a duo, do a tour.
- [35:10]
B
Vegas, here we come.
- [35:12]
A
Donald, Somebody stole my idea.
- [35:14]
B
Oh.
- [35:15]
A
Do you remember years ago, me saying that I was like, I am too old for these nightclubs starting at 11 o' clock. And I want a nightclub that, like, we start at 6 and we're done by 11. It's a thing now. Now.
- [35:25]
B
Yeah.
- [35:25]
A
For people our age. Because you want to party like you did in your twenties. But three in the morning? No, I need to be four cycles into REM by three o' clock in the morning. I need to be done by 11 and that's pushing it. But like 6 to 10, 6 to 11 to just rock out, like, dance your face off the club, sweaty. And then you're still in bed at A normal time. I mean, I'm so mad that somebody got my idea.
- [35:52]
B
You know, there's been a couple times in like the last year that I've gone out salt and drank very little. And then I still feel so hungover the next day. And I'm like, it's the sleep. Yeah, you need to get your eight hours. What are you doing out here with these children just running the streets at 3am Just get your ass to bed. You're. But like, oh my God, my, these eye sockets are not going to stay up.
- [36:16]
A
Any tape.
- [36:17]
B
Literally.
- [36:19]
A
So trends.
- [36:20]
B
So I just want to say about the ballet flats.
- [36:22]
A
Tell me about the ballet flats. I love them.
- [36:24]
B
I, I'm. I, I guess I'm such a chunky shoe guy.
- [36:28]
A
You are a chunky shoe.
- [36:29]
B
I love chunky shoes. I don't know why, I just think it really grounds someone. But I, because I used to wear like the, the Pumas. I don't know what they're called, but the, they're like. Because I remembered that you could do. I. When I was auditioning for things very early on, like cruise ships and stuff, when I was at 21, they said that for singer dancers those would be appropriate shoes to audition in. And so I wore those kinds of like slender shoes all the time. And I really liked them because I felt like my jeans laid over them nicely.
- [37:04]
A
Donald has a trend.
- [37:05]
B
Yeah. Weird hang ups. But now I'm like totally on the other side. I love big chunky shoes.
- [37:11]
A
Okay, well, just so you know, that Puma trend, that slim cut that is super big right now and in, in different colors. So not a white, like very much like the greens, the maroons, the blue. I do love metallic.
- [37:26]
B
I do love colored shoes. So I do too.
- [37:29]
A
And so I might have to invest in a pair or two. But then I sometimes get caught up with like the. Well, it's maroon. So like I'm not trying to look like the American flag with my out. You know what I'm saying?
- [37:39]
B
So like blue jeans.
- [37:40]
A
Yeah, yeah. Like, so what color am I wearing with it and what color can't I wear with it? Or if you get them in blue, like what color can you wear? You know what I'm saying? That's where it throws me a little.
- [37:49]
B
Well, you know what else is trending right now?
- [37:51]
A
The Canadian tuxedo. Denim on denim. Is that what you were gonna say?
- [37:55]
B
I was. No, but I love, I love that same. I would wear, I would wear like a denim weird shirt with a denim jacket and denim jeans. I would go all in give me a denim hat I don't like.
- [38:06]
A
Brilliant.
- [38:07]
B
Yeah, right. I love it.
- [38:10]
A
Same.
- [38:11]
B
I was gonna say mixed patterns and I read the mixing animal prints, which, that's getting aggressive.
- [38:20]
A
That's when you start to look crazy again. This is probably the eccentric people that just really are fashionistas that can pull this off. And I would put it on and look crazy.
- [38:30]
B
I don't know.
- [38:31]
A
By the way, that sugar is giving me a hot flash right now. I haven't had a hot flash in a very long time, but all of a sudden I'm like, I haven't had.
- [38:38]
B
A hot flash since I had the meat sweats two days ago.
- [38:42]
A
I love the ballet flats, but I also danced ballet for years. Like, it brings me back. And I just bought this, these Christian Diors that are like black leather, but they've got like a little metal on them. So they're like edgy ballet flats. Every time I put them on, they don't look right with the outfit I pick. And I'm like, I am hell bent to wear these damn shoes before they go out of style. So maybe I need some barrel jeans because then they would hit at the ankle properly and I can rock it.
- [39:12]
B
Yeah, you could also just cut some jeans or I think, I don't know what I, I, I, I haven't read this anywhere, but a lot of people are doing like really thick cuffs on wideleg jeans.
- [39:23]
A
Yes, they are. And that does look good. And that would look good with ballet flats.
- [39:26]
B
Yeah.
- [39:27]
A
Skinny jeans back. Oh, fab or flop.
- [39:31]
B
The thing is, I always thought I would never wear anything other than skinny jeans. And I just got rid of my skinny jeans. Like I can't be that sitting here.
- [39:39]
A
In the biggest cargo penance ever.
- [39:42]
B
Right. And so I think, think for now it's a flop from, for guys.
- [39:49]
A
Okay. I'm here for it. Like, even though I, I grew to like the, the bigger, like higher waist, flowier pant over the last couple years, there's something about the skinny jean where it's just, again, it just, with shoes, it works so easily. Tennis shoe doesn't matter because skinny jean hits you right above the ankle. Perfect high heel great. Sits perfect. All long jeans, it's like they're hitting my heel at the wrong place or it's hiding my shoe and the shoe is a part of the outfit. I need the shoe to be seen or I'm tripping because I'm short. So like, there is a part of me that is here for the skinny jean to be back. But also I live in workout pants. So maybe I'm used to things just being tight and restrictive, constrictive. And I'm like, all right, but let's continue with that. Low rise is coming back.
- [40:45]
B
I mean, deep breaths. What am I going to tuck my stomach into at Korean barbecue when I just can't hold it in myself?
- [40:52]
A
I feel like low rise is a young person's game. And you know me, I loved a low rise. Like y' all, my. If you go back to 80 day obsession, my workout programs, I would have my workout pants tailored to be lower. Like to hit on my hip bone. Because this is when my abs were super tight, six pack shredded. Da da. Don't get me wrong, my abs are still good, but at almost 45 years old, the skin's just not as tight as it used to be. I really grew to appreciate those high rise jeans on a day where you felt a little off, a little bloated, a little not so tight. Maybe a mid rise. Like maybe I could rock a mid rise. But I'm not sure if I could do the low rise like I did back then. Like, I feel like it's going to give me some serious body issues. I'm being honest.
- [41:47]
B
Yeah. It's hard for me to imagine because it really. What. Like if you look back at pictures of people wearing low rise, they really jeans. A lot of people, they just. And I'm talking about like pop stars and this is no shade at all. It just to me wasn't as flattering as now. Like a mid rise or. And people with great bodies. It's funny, like as a side note.
- [42:11]
A
Because you'll see that was my throat girling. You can leave that in there. I don't know what just happened. I didn't eat anything. You welcome to Autumn McDonald. An alien.
- [42:31]
B
Yeah, like. Like I think you have a tapeworm. But speaking of, I was going to say in the 90s you'll see clips of like for example, how much Britney Spears was shamed at different times for her body and they'll show her body and it's like there was nothing.
- [42:50]
A
No girl was good back in the day.
- [42:52]
B
Yeah. There's absolutely no reason for people. Like, we were just very obsessed. The 90s was a different time. And that's where that crossover from the 90s into 2000s low rise jeans really came in. And it just. To me, it's not. I don't like it. It's different for guys because you usually don't see it anyways. But.
- [43:12]
A
But I will say this too. It. I Did it doesn't matter how in shape you are. Like you be very lean the second you sit down. We all have skin. So like I don't know how Heroin chic I guess is what you need to be to sit down in a low rise jean and not feel like something is folding over. Not to mention we had whale tail. So like the thong was hanging out the back and that was like a style choice. And you pulled your thong people. I'm gonna go with the. What's also on trend right now. Which is like what are they calling it? It's not quiet elegance. It's. But it's something like that. It's old money quiet sophistication. Like it's. It's understated elegance. Basically like little country club nautical sort of vibe.
- [44:02]
B
Okay.
- [44:03]
A
I. I feel like I could rock but. But I am edgy and I do like to be a little more edgy than that. Like I. I'm not super prepp. Happy.
- [44:09]
B
Yeah.
- [44:09]
A
So I like an edge to it a little bit. But I guess if I got to choose between maybe a mid rise and a. And a low rise, three weeks from now I'm gonna be sitting here in.
- [44:17]
B
Some low rise whale tail up to your rib cage.
- [44:21]
A
Yeah. Right. It's not happening. That's my thought on that one. Is that's a young girl's game. You. You do you boo.
- [44:29]
B
Yeah, yeah, of course. Obviously everyone like listening. You should wear whatever you feel good in. Even if life it's ugly. I'm just kidding.
- [44:39]
A
Even if they're crocs and potato shoes.
- [44:41]
B
Yeah.
- [44:41]
A
Do you. It's gonna be great.
- [44:42]
B
So what is like if you had to have an outfit that is lifelong. Like what you think is classic versus trendy.
- [44:55]
A
Okay.
- [44:55]
B
What does that look like? Mine. Mine would be like I think a pair of Chucks. I feel like those are all have always been.
- [45:03]
A
Yeah, Chucks are pretty. Always in style. Yeah. Some version of like a white sort of flat tennis shoe.
- [45:09]
B
Yeah, yeah. Like a Nike. A white Nike or something. That's always been and always will be in style. I like to add a platform on it. But whatever. Some regular like mid shade blue jeans.
- [45:24]
A
Sort of straight leg. Not necessarily super baggy, not necessarily skinny, but like almost more like a straight leg. Yeah, yeah.
- [45:31]
B
Basically the fawns. I would then have a leather jacket, a white T shirt and call it a day. I feel like that's going to be cool. Cool forever.
- [45:37]
A
Yeah. I would rock similar even for a girl. Like maybe it would be like a crop. Like not. Not a belly Shirt, like, crop where it's hitting, like, right above the jean. Because then I could play with it with jewelry, with my hairstyle, that kind of thing. But if you're talking about a casual classic, nice crisp white tea that's cut at the appropriate length. So I don't want to tuck it in necessarily and have to figure out, I don't know, tucked untucked. This is like, some big things. Like, what the hell?
- [46:08]
B
Like, apparently I'm worried I'm out of style. That's just. Just the front.
- [46:12]
A
I know. Same. But apparently, if you talk at all, it's like, oh, you're showing that you're 40.
- [46:17]
B
Yeah.
- [46:17]
A
Because I guess these kids today, like, well, I'm well into the 40s kids, so I'm tucking it in. I'm not a slob. I'm not leaving it hanging out.
- [46:27]
B
I have another question. I'm going way off rogue here.
- [46:30]
A
Rogue.
- [46:32]
B
So I have one in mind for myself. What is a trend you used to do that you like, makes you cringe?
- [46:39]
A
I mean, there's so many.
- [46:41]
B
The one that stands out for me is if I had a caller, I was popping that.
- [46:46]
A
Oh, like, you were like.
- [46:48]
B
My collars were always, constantly. And then I felt like I was being conservative when I would just pop the back and leave the sides a little. But I always. Just a regular collar. You would not. For years, you wouldn't see me in one. I know. It's so embarrassing.
- [47:04]
A
I don't know if I had any that were like that per se, but, like, I mean, I loved a big brick bane back in the 80s. So if you don't know what brick bangs are, it was like, literally the way they cut your bangs. You would take curling iron and you would, like, divide them in half, and you would curl half up, and then you would curl half under, and then you would tease the out of them, and you would spray them. It looked like you had a loofah.
- [47:26]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [47:27]
A
Her bangs.
- [47:28]
B
You did that?
- [47:29]
A
Well, I was like, yeah. I was, like, 11, 12 years old in the Midwest, for sure.
- [47:33]
B
I guess it's just. Just because you're, like, about five years older than me. That difference makes a difference. I remember my mom's friends having bangs like that and being like, did you just.
- [47:45]
A
Or you would do, like, the wave. So you would, like, grab it with a. With a brush, and you would, like, pull it and hold it, and then you would just aqua Net the crap out of them, and they would freeze there like that. Like, honestly, it felt like your bangs were going to break. If you moved them, like, that's how. So I definitely did. Did all the things. And you would do the same thing to the side of your hair to get like this feathered look. But you would like hold it with a brush and spray it. So yeah, there was some hair trends.
- [48:12]
B
In there that it's crazy to think about. The hair trends, like from the 80s and 90s, especially the 80s. If you think about 80s hair trends, that is wild.
- [48:23]
A
Or they even trends. Or did we just fry our hair to no end? And that was the style. Like if you go back and you look, look at everybody. It was like crimped and permed. It looked so dead. It looked like straw. Both the guys and the girls. It was just like. Did anybody ever brush it? Like, it didn't.
- [48:43]
B
Yeah, I don't think so.
- [48:45]
A
It didn't look brushed. And it definitely didn't look like it had ever seen a conditioner bottle in its life.
- [48:51]
B
That is so funny.
- [48:54]
A
Oh, my God. The bullet. Although that's coming back.
- [48:56]
B
I'm here for it.
- [48:57]
A
I know.
- [48:58]
B
I kind of. If I, I had the patience, I would grow one of like. I think it used to be called a Euro mullet. So not like a full Joe Dirt mullet where it's like, okay, I will.
- [49:12]
A
Cut that in your sleep.
- [49:14]
B
But just a little like, you know, but also I used to. And I have very straight hair, but I still would straighten my hair so it could be like, you know, like very sharp looking. And I would just take my mullet and kind of flip it and girl, I look like. What's the mom Brady from the Brady Bunch?
- [49:33]
A
What's her name? Before Our time or Jan. Those are.
- [49:36]
B
The daughters, Cindy or. Oh, my God. Anyways, you know the look.
- [49:41]
A
Yes.
- [49:42]
B
Having the back there and just a little flip.
- [49:44]
A
Anyway, it's kind of like my hair right now.
- [49:46]
B
Yeah, it really is. Looking at it. I was like, you. You got it?
- [49:52]
A
I got it. Speaking of hair, the bob is back. Back.
- [49:55]
B
Yes. You're rocking it.
- [49:56]
A
It's actually the Italian bob specifically is like super strong right now, which is what I'm working towards. But I gotta. These bangs have to grow out to have the Italian bob, which is actually a smidge shorter, but it's very like Sophia Loren, like big. And I kind of want it.
- [50:13]
B
Okay.
- [50:14]
A
I might look crazy. And if I do that flat iron's coming out.
- [50:18]
B
Well, you. Well, you know me like, you guys, when she was talking about getting her getting the cut you have now because we took. I don't know if anyone's noticed who's watched. Watched our show versus, like, the promo shoot we did. You had long hair and then you.
- [50:34]
A
Cut your hair, like, the next week.
- [50:35]
B
And when you were like. When you were like, I want to cut my hair, I was like, don't do it. Do not do it. You want to be ugly. But actually, I was like, if you want to do it, you should. And it looks really good. So I kind of feel the same way about. Of the big bob. I'm like, okay, helmet head. But I'm sure just like, with this. The point is, I'll be like, actually, I really like it because I really love your haircut.
- [51:00]
A
Thank you.
- [51:01]
B
I guess you're like, thank you. Weird, backhanded compliment.
- [51:06]
A
I love your mullet.
- [51:07]
B
Yeah, right, fair.
- [51:10]
A
I'm dying to know, too. Like, you guys are going to have to write in and tell us whether you email us or you write it, like, leave comments. We want to know what trends, like, you're following or which. Which of these you like or. Or do you agree with us? But wait, there's a few more I want to talk about really quick, because I was looking up some of these, and I. Donald, I didn't even know what it was, and I was like, I really gotta get my ass on TikTok. Have you heard of Sunny Angels? I think that's how you say it.
- [51:34]
B
Nope.
- [51:34]
A
Okay, I'm gonna show you what it is. We'll put a little thing up here so you guys can see it. So apparently, these things are a trend. Like what? It looks like a Teletubby.
- [51:45]
B
It totally looks like a Teletubby tubby.
- [51:49]
A
I don't even understand what the point is.
- [51:51]
B
Why is this a mix of Teletubbies and those, like, I remember my cousin had troll dolls, but they had hair. These things have, like, animal and fruit heads.
- [52:02]
A
Yeah.
- [52:02]
B
They have, like. Do you buy the hats separate?
- [52:05]
A
I don't know. Because I don't know. He said, oh, no.
- [52:09]
B
What an interesting thing to collect.
- [52:11]
A
And then, by the way, in the meantime, somebody's gonna collect these, and it's gonna be like those Beanie babies. Somebody's gonna be tons of money, super rich because of it. And we're gonna be over here like, damn, we should have jumped on that trend. Okay. People were talking about mesh ballet flats. I don't know about the mesh. I like the ballet flats. The mesh over the top is a little funky for me because I just feel like that's gonna be uncomfortable.
- [52:37]
B
Yeah, I read that that mesh layering is in, so I don't Know if that's part of it. Just, like, mesh on mesh. I'm like. Like, naked. So cloudy, new. Did he.
- [52:49]
A
I could kind of rock some mesh, though.
- [52:51]
B
I like. I love mesh.
- [52:52]
A
Like, there's a website. It's called Joa Brown, and they've got some hot, like, sexy, like. Yes. Bodysuits. Now, again, there's. The appropriate parts are covered with. Not mesh, but, like, I might have to go shopping on there today. Okay. Have you heard of bog bags?
- [53:07]
B
No.
- [53:08]
A
Okay, again, same. It's like this weird rubber. It comes in a bunch of colors. I don't know. Maybe it's a beach bag.
- [53:18]
B
Oh, God. It looks like if Crocs were a purse.
- [53:21]
A
Yes.
- [53:22]
B
Actually, I just found a bag to match my shoes that I'm getting.
- [53:26]
A
And you could get it in patterns. Like, this one has bunnies on it.
- [53:30]
B
Oh.
- [53:32]
A
Oh, stripes.
- [53:35]
B
Yeah. I need to see one of these.
- [53:37]
A
In the wild, they go for about a hundred dollars. Well, I don't know. It's. You can get them with your favorite sports teams. I don't know. Again, your girl. Okay. Labubus. Have you heard of a Labubu?
- [53:53]
B
No.
- [53:54]
A
Okay, so Labubus are, like, these charms. They're dolls that people, I guess, are putting on, like, Hermes bags. The Birkin people put them on any bag now, but they are this weird, scary looking. I. I don't understand.
- [54:14]
B
Oh, I'm trying to think if I've seen these. I don't get. I don't. I don't get. I know that a lot of people love, like. Yeah. Wearing bag charms, but it's so interesting.
- [54:29]
A
I'm with all the people saying that they won't buy a Labubo.
- [54:32]
B
Have you ever collected anything? You know, people collect, like, salt and pepper shakers or something?
- [54:38]
A
Yeah, no, it's not been my thing. I'm a collector. Dubai Chocolate, have you heard of that?
- [54:46]
B
No. We're so educational.
- [54:50]
A
The game. Okay, so I think this is one of those ones that, like. Have you heard of, like, the chocolate pistachio? And, like, people would then make their own recipes and stuff like that. So I've heard of this trend a lot, and I've seen people making it, but they're like these chocolate bars, and they, like, sell out all the time, and, like, people do ASMR with them.
- [55:08]
B
I saw. I have a friend who I saw online who was like, so I'm gonna try one. And she. Yeah, she got it.
- [55:15]
A
But, I mean, if y' all want to send me some Dubai Chocolate, I will. Your girl likes her sweet. So I'll try some Dubai chocolate.
- [55:21]
B
Yeah. I'm sure you guys want to hear us eating more.
- [55:24]
A
But, like, you see, it's like, 35 on Amazon. 14 on Amazon. So I guess it depends on what you're getting and where you're getting it from. But for a while, it was, like, like, so over the top. Like, you could not get it. You know, it's one that came up a lot.
- [55:37]
B
What.
- [55:37]
A
And you and I are both doing this trend right now.
- [55:39]
B
What?
- [55:39]
A
The aura ring.
- [55:41]
B
Oh, well, actually, mine's a dupe that I. Because, well, I want. I wasn't sure if I would like wearing the aura ring.
- [55:51]
A
Yeah.
- [55:51]
B
And then I also was doing, like, for some of my clients, a. A walking challenge. And so I wanted to have something that they could track steps easily.
- [56:02]
A
Yeah.
- [56:02]
B
So I got a dupe. But I like it.
- [56:04]
A
Right.
- [56:04]
B
I like that it. The. And it's made me think, okay, I wonder. I want to get an aura ring to compare the two. What do you think about yours?
- [56:12]
A
I love my aura ring. I wear it all the time. So I'm going to contradict myself. I literally wear my oring all the time. I. I like data points, especially when it comes to, like, my health and my fitness. So seeing my steps, seeing calories burned from a workout, seeing my sleep score. And then on the other hand, and I say to myself a lot, what are you doing? You're literally pumping Bluetooth into your hand 24, seven around the clock, even while you sleep. That can't be good for you. You don't really need wearables to track these things. Like, you know, if you got a good night's sleep or not. When you wake up, do you feel rested or not? Like, I don't need a sleep score. And when it comes to my workout, it's. It's. It's not about the calories burned. It's depending on the type of workout. Like, when I'm doing Pilates, I'm not expecting some big calorie burn, but, oh, my go. Like, my whole body works, and I sweat and I'm toned and I'm shaking and all the things and body alignment. So, like, there's so much more to your workout than calorie burn. I think the biggest thing I like it for is my steps. But there's. You could hook. You could hold a pedometer all day, or your phone tracks it nine times out of ten, because Lord knows we don't set the phone down right. So while I do wear it every day, I have been debating not Wearing it. I like, I didn't sleep with it on last night, actually, because I just keep saying, like, why? Like, we are surrounded by Bluetooth. This is not great for us.
- [57:35]
B
Yeah. I have had the same thought. Like, there's been a couple times it could totally be in my head where I'm like, my hand hurts. Oh, no, it's the ring.
- [57:42]
A
Yeah.
- [57:44]
B
Sending these whatever currents through my body. But I do like it. Mostly for the steps. It's funny because I was talking with a client and she was saying because she has an aura ring, she has this. A woman whoop bracelet and apple watch, all the things. And so we would sometimes use some of those. That those data points in my coaching with her. And I asked her about it at one point and she said, I honestly start. I'm feeling a little bit like, obsessive. Obsessive over it when I know what I need to do and I really don't need. Like, I know that once I think they're really good to get going. But for example, if I wear this to track my steps and I realize, okay, I need to take like 4 or 15 minutes minute walking breaks in a day.
- [58:29]
A
Yeah.
- [58:29]
B
Then I can learn that without being obsessed over the data I'm seeing. So I think it depends on the person, but I do like having it.
- [58:36]
A
Yeah.
- [58:36]
B
Like, when I want it.
- [58:37]
A
I will say, one of the most interesting things I've found off of it that I like is that it shows me stress. Because there have been times where I have not thought I was stressed out. And I look at my app and it's like, you're experiencing high levels of stress. And I've been able to go, oh, I ate something that I know. Like, for me, I can't have eggs. They really tear my stomach up. Or like, excessive amounts. Like, if I eat a large amount of dairy, same thing. So, like, when I was in Italy with Dom, I gave myself. Like, I was just like, I'm doing it. I'm not worried about it. We're here, we're on vacation. I'm enjoying it. The food quality is better, blah, blah. And I felt great the whole trip. Like, I wasn't having indigestion or anything like that. But the whole trip, my ring kept showing me that my stress level was off the charts. And I was like, this makes no sense. I'm so rested, I'm so calm. I feel great. And. And then I was like, oh, I'm starting my day with coffee every day, which I don't do anymore. I was having more added Sugar. Because it was like, let's try the gelato. Let's try the limoncello. Like, oh, this homemade pizza. Cheese, gluten. So my body was telling me, like, just because I wasn't experiencing the physical symptoms, it was having a harder time processing it. And I found that to be interesting. But again, these are things ultimately that I know. And I made that choice going into my vacation knowing, like, I'm gonna enjoy these things. And then I'm like this, like I told you, all of a sudden I had the sweats while we were eating it. It passed, but, like, I haven't had a hot flash in a minute. I'm like, what is happening? Oh, well, Lord only knows how much sugar we just ate. And we, by the way, like, the whole box is left, you guys. Like, we took a couple tiny bites.
- [60:11]
B
But we probably had a cookie. If you put it all together, yeah, I might add cookie and a half.
- [60:20]
A
But, like, in general, we didn't eat, like, some crazy amount. So I would say say aura ring fab for certain times. It does help if you're trying to get more movement in, more steps in, if you're sort of tracking certain things for a period of time. But I have heard a lot of people say whether. And this is no diss on aura, but whether it's the aura or the apple watch or the whoop or anything like that, that just like anything, it can get a little obsessive when you're like, oh, I miss. Oh, my God. I. I need a hundred more steps for the day to hit my 10, 000 steps. And it's like 11 o' clock at night. You're ready for bed and you're like, walking. Come on. You're good. Like, right? It's fine.
- [60:59]
B
Totally.
- [61:00]
A
So, yeah, well, so I love these trends. These have been fun. And I think it'll be fun to see over the next few months. D what fashion trends end up showing up on us when we show up? I mean, we all know this is like, this is my uniform. Aviator.
- [61:19]
B
I'm dressed like the font every day.
- [61:21]
A
Are you?
- [61:21]
B
Sweats are my. My. Yeah, that's my. My goodness.
- [61:25]
A
I'm going to get a pair of barrel jeans and I'm going to rock my barrel jeans and my ballet flats.
- [61:29]
B
Yes. I can't wait for this.
