Foreign. Well, besties it is I again. Hello. Welcome back. We are here on this lovely Monday, and Tyler is at Starbucks downstairs for me because I brought my water and I was dying of thirst. So today is another solo podcast episode. So what we're gonna do today is answer some of you guys's dying questions, which I love doing. I feel like answering the questions are so good because it's, like, stays forever because stories disappear. So let's get into it. Someone asked if I could only have one perfume for the rest of my life, what would it be? Auris 22 from Letta. I love that scent. It is, like, this most creamy iris fragrance. I've never smelled anything quite like it. And it's only $98. We also sell it, which is awesome. I, like, fell in love with it about a year ago, and then I found out that it was an influencer that owned the line. And so I then started asking her, you know, if I could do wholesale, if I would be able to, like, carry it. And she was like, absolutely. For sure. And so now we get to carry it. And we have a lot of their fragrances, too. They have, like, a vanilla one, which I love. It's actually really good vanilla, and I'm super, super picky about vanilla. And then they have, like, an Isla Coco, which is, like, so good for summer. It's, like, not too girly and young. It's, like, very sophisticated and chic. Has ylang ylang in it. Is that how you say it? Is it ylang ylang? I think it's ylang ylang. I don't know. I need to figure out that word. Every time I say that word, I say I'm going to go Google it and figure out how to say it, and then I never do. So maybe one day. And then what else they have? They have the scenic rose, which is absolutely amazing, too. Okay. Someone is saying, how do I get rid of Milia on my eyelash line? So typically, you'd want to go get that extracted at, like, a derm office or a medical aesthetic spa. Someone that does that. Just make sure you call and ask, because a lot of people will not work on the eye area like that. I do. So if you're local, I got you queen. But also for preventing them. And over time, can actually make it fall off. I've seen it happen on thousands of people. It's crazy. IMAX from Skin Better is phenomenal. I don't know what they put in that shit. Actually, I do. I know everything about that product, but it does it helps get rid of milia and prevent it from coming back if you're prone to it. Someone asked if I could make a highlight of pregnancy safe products. So all of my highlights, I usually type and rule right. Of some things. Pregnancy safe or acne safe. We're working on our new website right now which will have a tab for all the products that you can shop that are pregnancy safe. But just right off the bat, anything that is 2% salicylic and under is pregnancy safe. Benzoyl peroxide, that's 2.5%, 5 and under is pregnancy safe. Retinoids, they say aren't pregnancy safe, but you guys have heard my spiel. But if this is your first podcast episode or if you haven't heard me say it, I will say it again. So retinoids is an umbrella term. So retinoic acid, retinaldehyde, retinol, all of those things are retinoids. Retinoic acid does not need to be converted in the body. So it is the most potent and most strong. So that's what you would see in prescription strength retinoids like tretinoin, retin A, etc. Skinbutters. Alpharet uses retinoic acid, but they conjugate it, so they basically make a new molecule. So basically it's like retinoic acid is me, lactic acid is lance, and then together they make ethyl lactyl retinoate, which is their baby, which would be Cyrus. So when you put lactic acid and make it have sex with the retinoic acid molecule, it makes it more tolerable, it makes it more calm, more stable, and also makes it more gentle. So it's great for sensitive skin. And it's also available, you know, that you don't have to get a prescription for it because of this, because it's not just straight retinoic acid, which it is, but it's not. And in clinical studies it's been comparable to tretinoin. When it comes to the results, it's amazing. I have a whole highlight on my Instagram about Alpharet and the before and afters. It helps with everything. It is what changed my skin. When I was struggling with a lot of cystic acne before I became an esthetician, that is the product that like got my skin clear, so I sort of buy it. But anyways, back to the story about why people say it's not pregnancy safe. So we all know Accutane. Accutane is a very strong vitamin A orally, and it's an Oral thing. So it's going in the body, it's going in the bloodstream. Anything that's being put on your skin, your skin is not a sponge. Which is why I always say a lot of products that people are trying to say like, oh, this gets to the dermal layer. No, it fucking doesn't. Unless it has a patented technology or a good formulation and carrying ingredients, reading the back of the label will not tell you that. That's why it's so important to have non biased clinical stud studies. Which is why I love skin butter. Because they do that for every single one of their products. Anyone can make any kind of marketing claims, but a lot of the stuff you're going to see at the drugstore, a lot of the stuff you're going to see at Sephora, Ulta, XYZ is really just sitting on top of your skin and not doing anything at the cellular level. It might make your skin feel softer, smoother, lighten some pigment on the surface. But it's really not getting down in there and doing what it needs to do. So it's kind of. And some of them will charge like $400 for it. It's crazy. It's crazy. And those are things like, don't feel bad. You wouldn't know. I didn't know this as an esthetician. I didn't know this until I got like so deep into the industry that I started to see all the secrets and lies and like everything that's inside of it. Which is why you guys trust me, because I am a whistleblower. I can't whistle, but if I could, that's what I would do. Oh my God. Bestie is back and here to join us. We're answering some questions. So anyways, back to the retinoid pregnancy thing. Thank you so much, angel. So nice. I love him. It's oral vitamin A. Okay, so basically, obviously you can have birth defects. That's why they want to say, like, are you going to swear to celibacy or are you going to wrap it up or be on birth control? I think it's either you have to swear to celibacy or be on a form. Two forms of birth control. Yeah. And celibacy from one. Yeah. No, you have to swear to two forms of birth control. Be condom, celibacy and then a contraceptive. Because you can like really have really bad birth defects. Like, it's bad, bad, bad. So anyways, that's where the whole like retinoids aren't safe. But again, topical retinoid cannot get in the bloodstream. And if it does, it is such a small amount. And on top of that, your prenatals, okay, your prenatals have vitamin A in them. And the amount of vitamin A in your prenatal, that is good for the baby because it's all again, doubles in the dosage with anything in life besties, the devil's in the dosage. So that small amount is more than could ever be topically absorbed from using Alfred on your face. Now our company's going to test on pregnant women? Absolutely not. It's unethical. It's a fucking risk, right? And it's easier to just say ask your doctor than like slap pregnancy safe on the label and claim that. Because the second something goes wrong in someone's pregnancy, I know I would be the exact same you're going to go through, what did I eat, what did I put on my face, what I put in my body, what, what did I spray, what did I do, what appointments did I have, what, massage, therap, esthetician, whatever. It is like you're looking for someone to point the blame at. And sometimes, maybe there is, but sometimes it's just what happens and it's sad. So if you're not comfortable, don't do it. I always say, ask your doctor, but I used retinoids the entire time. I used Alpharet, specifically the entire time I was pregnant and breastfeeding. And a lot of estheticians, dermatologists and surgeons and doctors will agree with me. And I did even have my OB GYN approve it because it is very outdated. It's a lot of fear mongering. But again, on the flip side, because you guys know this is me and this is something I've always had to get through, is like two things can be true at the same time. And that's okay because I always am. Like I talked about previous episodes ago, I'm very 100 or zero. And I'm trying to get to this place in life where like two things can be true. Like, I had really, you know, a hard childhood, but also it made me who I am. And like, you know, I can feel sad about what I went through but also empowered by it at the same time. Same thing with this. It's just nine months of your fucking life. Is it worth, you know, the tiny risk that it could have to your child? Absolutely not. You know, it is nine months. Fucking like, you know, your skin is not as important as your baby's health at the end of the day. So there's that. And Then there's also. It's outdated and it really cannot do anything. So two things to be true at the same time. And I support whatever journey you are on, bestie. So I will never force a client to do it. I'll never tell them to do it. I always say, ask your doctor, because I ain't one unless I'm in Dubai. They think I'm a doctor. Dr. Boda.
- [08:38]
B
Dr. Savannah Boda.
- [08:39]
A
This was actually, like, my favorite thing. I was like, I'm not me cosplaying a doctor today. No, I'm just kidding. I told him immediately. I was like, I'm not a doctor. And they're like, oh, we thought you were. And I was like, that's so sweet, but no MD here, baby. Yeah. Okay. We're answering just some questions, bestie. It was a really long one. How long does carboxy mousse last you?
- [09:05]
B
Forever.
- [09:06]
A
Really? How long does yours last?
- [09:09]
B
I would say at least mine lasts a really long time because I only use it once a day.
- [09:19]
A
Except when he uses mine, and then he wants to, like, do, like, a whole snow cone, no size.
- [09:24]
B
Not true. No. I only use it once a day. And honestly, I should use it twice a day. But I'm too lazy to wait the 10 minutes after putting on acne med. And that's the only reason I don't do it.
- [09:37]
A
That's what got me. That's what got me out of my whole thing because I was like, oh, I have to wait and do stuff. And then my skin broke out, so.
- [09:43]
B
Well, my skin's doing fine. My skin loves acne meds, so I do it in the morning only sometimes at night, I do use it and I wait the 10 minutes. But 95% of the time, I'm too lazy, too. But I would say that for a normal person, if you're using it twice a day, literally, a little goes a long way.
- [10:03]
A
Long. It comes out fast, though. Like, really fast. You gotta be careful. Like, your first time, you'll definitely probably overuse it. But you just, like, barely touch her. She's very sensitive. Like, if you get, like, in, like, a sports car, you, like, barely touch the gas. Like, that's carboxymias. Like, there's a little bit because, like.
- [10:17]
B
It'S a moose, but it also has some, like, behind it. You know what I mean?
- [10:20]
A
Yeah.
- [10:21]
B
Like, it doesn't dissolve right in the air. Yeah, it. So I would say it should last, like, four months, if not longer. Like, five, six months. Like, it. Everyone says it lasts a long time because you don't need a lot unless you're doing your whole body.
- [10:36]
A
What supplements do I take? So I take the clear skin supplements and then I take glutathione and magnesium, and all of those are on our website. Someone says, why don't you use Maestro anymore? I'm on and off with Maestro. Pore size honestly isn't a big concern for me. Or redness. So, I mean, it just sucks because I feel like I have to like, post and talk about every product or people don't want it. And I think that's like the worst part of my job because, like, just because something's not for my skin doesn't mean it's not for yours. Like, again, it's clearing serum does fucking amazing for everyone. But if I don't post about it, I'd be like, you know, this is like what I use or whatever.
- [11:12]
B
People think it's shit.
- [11:13]
A
Yeah, they think like, yeah. I literally have had clients come in and like, I give them a faciality regimen. They're like, well, you don't use this. I don't want this. And I'm like, your skin is not my skin. You know, everyone's skin is so different. And yeah, I share every single product that we carry because it works, obviously, or we wouldn't have it. But just because it doesn't work for my sensitive ass skin doesn't mean it's not gonna be for you. And my skin's not sensitive. It's just she's temperamental and she likes what she likes. She's picky, she's choosy, she throws a.
- [11:42]
B
Fit if she doesn't get.
- [11:42]
A
Yeah, she's not for everybody. She's not for everybody. She's exclusive and same thing. Like, Tyler and I have different regimen. Everyone in my office has different regimens. Maestro. I do love. Again, it doesn't cause acne for me. It doesn't cause any issues for me. It's just, like, is not my top priority when it comes to what my skin needs. And I use it sometimes here and there. But do I use it every day and night? I'm not gonna lie to you. No, I don't.
- [12:08]
B
I should be using it every day.
- [12:09]
A
Bitch. If anyone needed Maestro, you'd be the first. Oh, I have tiny texture bumps on my cheeks. What would be best? Undo lipid serum? Carboxy mousse? Sulfur. Sulfur mask, like twice a week. Gone, gone. Someone again. Still like glass skin. We love glass skin. Love. I don't love it for me, but I love it for the people that it does great for. I like it in my ears. It helps so much with ear. Blockheads. Someone says, how are you and your parents? Have y' all been talking or no contact? I'm letting up a little bit. My mom has taken up, taken a lot of accountability for everything, which was like, really big and all I ever wanted. My dad is getting there. I love my dad. He's just definitely like, bury your head in the sand and pretend nothing bad is happening kind of guy. And I think that's why I was so hard with my mental health stuff too, because he just, like, didn't get it and was like, just pray to God and walk and eat vegetables. You won't be depressed anymore.
- [13:14]
B
If only that worked.
- [13:15]
A
Like, yeah, it does not work. But I'm just waiting for him to take some responsibility for how he played a role in some stuff that went down in my childhood. And then once he can do that, like, I'm ready to bridge that. I think it's hard. I think, okay, I'll be really real. And I know they're gonna listen to this because they listen to all my podcasts. I think what's the hardest thing for me is that, like, I don't think it'll ever be the same relationship. It's gonna make me cry because I'm so guarded now. Because when you're a kid, like, you have your heart wide open to your parents and, like, it's literally in their hands, you know? And when someone hurts you so badly and you don't even know how badly you're hurt till, like, years later, you just feel really guarded. And I think it just, like, it's hard being around them because I don't want that. I don't want to feel guarded. Like, I miss the ignorantly bliss feeling I was. And it's just different. Like, even when I'm with my mom, like, it's like we have like our short little time together. Like, it's just so different. There's just like so much there, you know? And I think that's hard to navigate because it's like, I want them in my life, but also, like, I don't feel safe to completely, like, let down my guard with them ever again because they had that and they broke that. And then again, like I said, not like to make them feel like shit. Like, everyone goes through shit with their parents. It's just how I feel. So I think, like, just when I'm around them, it's just such. It's so different. And I like it makes me sad because I wish that it wasn't that way.
- [14:59]
B
Time heals wounds.
- [15:00]
A
Yeah, I think so, too.
- [15:03]
B
I think you haven't been around them a lot.
- [15:06]
A
I've had so much going on too. It's like, not really, like, intentional. It's just like I don't have the mental capacity to deal with more stress and drama in my life. And it seems that that's like kind of the theme with my parents. And so it's like I try to just keep myself away from situations that are gonna hurt me and cause me more stress right now. Just because, you know, I'm in. My life is always busy. There's never a good time. It's like, same thing. That's never a good time to have a baby. There's never a good time to do fucking anything in life ever. A good time to have a wedding. Never have a good time to do go on a trip. Like, there's always shit. You just have to make it happen if it's what matters to you. And it does matter to me. I just. Again, like, my heart is really fragile right now and I just can't take much more. Like, I swear I'm going to be in a white padded room and if something else happens, probably. Yeah. Like when I was driving here today, I literally was like, what if I just kept driving.
- [15:59]
B
To nowhere?
- [16:00]
A
Yeah. And then just like, shut my location off. But then I didn't have any of my. Honestly, you're lucky I didn't have my skincare in my car, because if I did, I'd been gone, babe.
- [16:10]
B
Well, I'm glad.
- [16:12]
A
That's what kept me coming to this podcast today, was the fact that I didn't have my skincare regimen. And Nala. Yeah, she knows. And that's like. She knows I've been going through it lately because she's been like, all on me. Cats know everything. Well, not all cats, Athena. No thoughts, no vibes.
- [16:29]
B
She knows absolutely nothing.
- [16:31]
A
What if she held the secrets of the universe and we just underestimated her?
- [16:34]
B
She doesn't.
- [16:35]
A
Are you sure?
- [16:36]
B
I'm 1000% positive. I'm surprised she can find her food wall.
- [16:41]
A
She can't lance us to pick her up.
- [16:42]
B
Yeah.
- [16:44]
A
Anyway, so there's that on. That got a little deep there. Damn. It was okay. I did like a 15 minute episode last week. Just going in circles about mental health. You know how I talk about the same thing five different ways? That's kind of what I did for 15 minutes.
- [17:03]
B
Oh, while I was gone.
- [17:04]
A
Yeah.
- [17:04]
B
Oh, damn.
- [17:06]
A
Yeah. I think it'll be good, though.
- [17:08]
B
Yeah. No, I think it's going to get better. Especially, I am hopeful for your relationship with your mom.
- [17:18]
A
What about my dad?
- [17:21]
B
Um. I love your dad. I do, But I just feel like you. I just feel like your mom. I feel like your mom is trying really hard.
- [17:29]
A
She is trying really hard. And I'll say something fucked up. I say something fucked up.
- [17:34]
B
I'm scared.
- [17:35]
A
I said this in therapy the other day.
- [17:37]
B
I just don't want to get roped in.
- [17:38]
A
Oh, you're not gonna get in trouble. Tyler always gets in trouble.
- [17:40]
B
Yeah, I always get in trouble.
- [17:43]
A
So, like, why didn't you stop her from saying this? He was like, have you met her?
- [17:47]
B
She's free spirit.
- [17:49]
A
Yeah. Try to contraind me.
- [17:51]
B
Yeah. If I said, don't say this, it would get three times worse. So me staying silent is actually protecting.
- [17:57]
A
Everyone involved, I think, for a while. Which. This is, like, very immature, but it's how I'm healing. Okay. But, like, my mom had such a hold on me that, like, how she treated. Like, what she said could build me up or break me in a second. Like, really. Like, they're. Like, when I was starting my business and I was living at the house, like, if her and I got in a fight and she'd be screaming at me to, like, move out and, like, that I'm, you know, all the. I'm not gonna get into it. But, like, just all the horrible shit she would say, like, if her and I weren't okay, like, it felt like a toxic relationship with a guy. Like, I know all the girls and guys listening to this. Like, if you've ever had a relationship like this where, like, what they do and what they say and how they treat you reflects how you feel about yourself that day. And, like, if you're gonna have a good day or not, like, you, like, are anxious when you wake up because you're like, what mood is this person gonna be in? Are they gonna be nice to me? Are they gonna be mean to me? Like, that's gonna dictate the way your day is gonna go and how you feel about yourself and if you love yourself or hate yourself. Like, what my mom said to me could either make me feel like I was fucking high as a kite on top of the moon, the most confidence in the world, or it could make me feel like I wanted to fucking die. And there were times where, like, I'd have to cancel entire days of clients because I was so emotionally unconsolable. And that's when I Started to distance myself from her a lot because I was like, I am 18, 19 at the time. 19 years old. I'm trying to own a business and be a full functioning adult, and I can't, if I'm allowing this person to just completely, with the snap of a fingers, with one word, one look, crumble me to the ground. And she just had so much power over me financially. Like, how I felt. Like, everything, you know, revolved around my mom and our relationship. Like, she was the most important person to me. And I think that's why it hurts so bad, because it's hard because, you know, that person that you put so much love in, like, just kind of a abused the fact that they had that power over you. And I think she kind of got off on it a bit. And so she had a lot of. With her parents, you know, and, like, she's so much better now. Like. And I think that's the other thing that's so hard is, like, the person that she is now, I don't need that now. I needed that then. So that also makes it hard for me to be around her because I see this woman that she's grown into, with all of her healing that she's done to try to be a better, better, better. I can't fucking talk. A better mother. And it's like, why couldn't she have been that when I really needed that, when I needed my mom? I'm a mom now. I'm an adult. Like, I don't need her to, like, validate me anymore. I don't need her to, like, hold me when I cry anymore. Like, I'm an adult. And, like, doesn't make it that I'm not thankful that she's better and, like, learning and growing. Like, I'm so happy for her. It's just, like. It just kind of sucks because I wish that she was that thin. But what I was gonna say that's really immature of me is, like, now I've almost, like, to a point where it's like, now I can hurt her the way that she hurt me and make her feel how it feels, you know, when, like, the ball's in my court now.
- [21:09]
B
Like, you have the power of, like.
- [21:11]
A
She had it for 24 years. The ball was in her court, you know?
- [21:16]
B
Yeah.
- [21:16]
A
And now it's, like, on my terms and what I want. And I've never had that power over her as I've never had that. So maybe it's not maturity. Maybe it's, like, not revenge, because I'm just Acting from her. I'm not trying to hurt her. I'm trying to, you know, a part of my life and how, you know, I've been successful, as I've always shared. And yeah, like, it's like, again, two things can be true at the same time. I feel bad talking about my personal family issues, but then also I know how much it is helpful for other people that are going through the same thing to feel not alone. And it's also very healing for me. And it's like, I'm not talking shit. I'm just telling a story. And if you look bad in the story of what happened, you know, that's on you. And again, I. 1000%, you know, well, not a thousand percent. That's a big number. I've semi gotten over it. I think time heals all wounds. Again, like, 24 years of going through that versus how much time it's been now. Three years, you know, And I know people aren't perfect and stuff. It's just.
- [22:27]
B
Well, I think there's just still a lot of room, like, a lot of work left to do because I feel like they, until recently, especially your mom, have been receptive or wanting to actually have a real conversation about it.
- [22:43]
A
Real talks are like. Like, treat each other like shit, shove it under the rug, and pretend and don't talk about it.
- [22:49]
B
So. And I feel like your mom has opened up a lot recently in terms.
- [22:52]
A
Of, like, she has back in my life.
- [22:55]
B
Yeah. So got some work to do.
- [22:59]
A
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
- [23:03]
B
Drink some of your water.
- [23:04]
A
Okay. Thank you. You drink water.
- [23:12]
B
Having to hide away from the mic.
- [23:15]
A
Okay. You take this.
- [23:16]
B
Okay.
- [23:17]
A
The talking stick has been passed.
- [23:18]
B
I love my oxygenetics, but it can get patchy tips on what I may be doing wrong.
- [23:23]
A
Trio Lux under. It helps so, so, so much. And then also, I just. I haven't shared this yet, but I have a new hack.
- [23:30]
B
Okay.
- [23:31]
A
I do oxygen addicts in your hands. And then spray a mist or two of hydrobiome mist, and then mix it together. It literally goes into the skin like butter.
- [23:42]
B
Wait. Oxygenetics and Hydrobiome myth.
- [23:44]
A
You do the oxygenetics Pump, pump, spray, spray.
- [23:48]
B
Okay.
- [23:49]
A
Mix, mix, apply, apply, blend, slay, slay.
- [23:54]
B
Okay. Do you SPF your arms and other exposed areas daily, too? No, if we're on a beach.
- [24:08]
A
On a beach. Or like, hiking.
- [24:10]
B
But, like, yeah, if we're gonna be out in the sun. But, like, I'm so sorry. For the five minute. No, yeah.
- [24:16]
A
30 seconds that we're outside of our vehicles per day. No. Even though UV rays go through the window.
- [24:23]
B
Well, my new office is about to not have a window, so I'll really have an excuse to not have to. I guess I do have kind of a long drive to work. And so do you.
- [24:32]
A
Mm.
- [24:34]
B
But that doesn't count, right?
- [24:36]
A
Yeah. The face card is all we care about.
- [24:40]
B
I am unsure of what you answered or asked or did not ask.
- [24:45]
A
I haven't done much. I've been taking, like, 10 minutes to answer one question.
- [24:50]
B
That's good.
- [24:51]
A
She's in a talking mood today.
- [24:54]
B
Did you discuss Tretinoin versus Alpharet?
- [24:57]
A
I mean, yeah, kind of. Yeah, we did. Okay, we can go back into it. So the difference. So tretinoin. She's old, and that's okay. We love things that are old. But sometimes there's new technology, you know, and that's what Alpharet is. So it's like, why would you use tretinoin when you can get the same results with Alpharet and not have dry, peeling, flaky, irritated skin? Alpharette. You can have your cake and eat it, too.

B
In the evening. Do I use my carboxy mousse before or after benzoyl peroxide?

A
After, but wait 10 minutes.

B
Does the sulfur mask smell really bad?
- [25:36]
A
Actually, it doesn't have a smell to it, in my opinion.
- [25:38]
B
Yeah. No, actually, I've never thought about that before because sulfur smells like egg farts. I never thought about that. It doesn't smell. I can promise. Or that. That smell. I can deal with a lot of smell. No, I can't. But like, that sulfur, if I was putting that on my face for a mask, Couldn't do it.
- [25:57]
A
That's funny.
- [25:57]
B
But no, I would. You would? Savannah always says, like, if it smelled like cow manure and it worked, she'd wear it for 24 hours straight.

- [27:23]
A
It's like the cinema. What is that blue thing that Maria uses? It's like a big blue. You can use cleansing gel too.

A
Yeah, but there's like this big blue thing. It's called like cinema makeup. I don't know. It looks like Gatorade on Amazon.

B
Which is better for closed comedones and texture? Azelaic or salicylic?

A
Depends on your skin. Kind of a gamble. It's a toss up. Bestie.

B
Acne on chest that is resistant to all your typical recommendations.
- [27:58]
A
I've tried 15% mandelic in the morning, 10% acne mat at night.
- [28:04]
B
I will say I was doing the ondue plus encore and it really helped a lot. But I think I still had some inflammation left. I added in, I started. I switched back to mandelic. I'm only using 8% though, because I already had 8% because I use that on my face. And then 10% acne because of me.
- [28:26]
A
Because I've been telling him to do it and he wouldn't do it.
- [28:28]
B
Yeah, I wouldn't do it.
- [28:29]
A
Well, I didn't want to stain his sheets on his bed. And I was like, do you want acne or do you want bleach stains?
- [28:34]
B
So I started using 10% acne medicine. Crazy.
- [28:38]
A
I told you.
- [28:38]
B
I'll have to show you.
- [28:39]
A
For months he's been struggling and I'm like trying to tell him what to do. Doesn't fucking listen.
- [28:44]
B
Ever since I had. Ever since I got that vitamin B shot, my body was like, I'm just.

A
As good as like a fucking Sephora employee to him at this point.
- [28:52]
B
It's okay. You're the same.
