Episode Overview

This episode finds Amy and Kat diving into the everyday emotions, little anxieties, and whimsical moments that make up modern life.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Vibes, Energy Songs & Bendy Straw Revelation

Timestamps: 02:38–05:44

• Mood Check: Kat feels "wild and worried," Amy feels "pretty good."
• They joke about needing energy and sing a spontaneous “E-N-E-G-R-Y” song.
• Bendy Straw Debate: Kat claims everyone has been using bendy straws wrong — she’s "wowed" by a viral post saying the bendy side should go in the drink for better slurping.
  • Quote: “You’ve been using your straws all wrong!” (Kat, 04:00)
  • Amy is skeptical; Kat looks up the straw’s origins. Turns out, bendy straws were invented to help kids reach milkshakes better, not to maximize slurping.

2. Wearable Health Gadgets & Worry

Timestamps: 05:44–09:05

• Kat describes anxiety after her Oura ring (health tracker) warns her of “minor symptoms.”
  • Quote: "My ring picked up on my worry." (Kat, 07:54)
• Discussion about the potential for obsessing over health data and the trade-off between useful info and increased anxiety.
• Amy shares her mixed experiences with less expensive fitness tracking rings and quality differences.

3. Stroller Overthinking (and Return Policies)

Timestamps: 10:12–13:12

• Amy celebrates finally picking a baby stroller, after a month of research and indecision — leading to husband frustration.
  • Quote: “Mark my words, I will never talk about a stroller again on here…” (Amy, 12:10)
• Surprised that strollers, once opened, generally can’t be returned due to “contamination” (germs) and safety rationale.
• Kat suggests reselling on Facebook Marketplace if it doesn’t work out.

4. What We’re Loving: Green Peas & Frozen Mango

Timestamps: 15:01–25:15

• Kat raves about frozen green peas—calling them the “next cottage cheese” due to their protein and fiber content, and cost-effective for feeding a hungry teenager.
  • Quote: "Green peas just need new marketing." (Kat, 17:15)
• Amy isn’t a pea lover, but Kat offers meal-stretching tips (add to rice & ground beef, chicken curry, etc).
• Amy shares her snack: slightly thawed frozen mango cubes—like mini sorbet bites.
  • Quote: "It’s almost like a popsicle… so good." (Amy, 25:13)
• Amy also raves about her new $27 “TimeYear” watch, which helps her count steps and motivates her to move more.

5. Social Media Feedback & Virality

Timestamps: 31:03–33:38

• The hosts marvel at how their social media posts—especially Amy’s “childhood glasses anxiety” story—"popped off" with hundreds of shares and engagement, while other platforms (like TikTok) remain unpredictable.

Timestamps: 33:42–51:22

• Letters and voicemails from listeners highlight shared irrational childhood fears (kidnapping, zombie apocalypse, etc.).

7. Chick-fil-A Protein Bar Hack

Timestamps: 51:15–53:40

• Listener Tony (51:22) calls in: you can order just the fried filet at Chick-fil-A as a “protein bar” instead of a full sandwich.
• Kat isn’t impressed—prefers nuggets over the filet alone and discusses nutrition differences.

8. Nurses Appreciation & Florence Nightingale

Timestamps: 53:46–62:15

• National Nurses’ Week: How Florence Nightingale’s influence (1820–1910) transformed nursing into a respected, scientific profession.
  • Quote: "She founded the Nightingale Training School for nurses at St. Thomas Hospital in London, elevating nurses from a non-educated domestic role to a respectable, trained scientific profession." (Kat, 61:47)

• Celebrate nurses and all caregivers for their often invisible labor.

Subtle Signs You Might Be Spiraling

[Amy]

Ladies and fellas, we just follow in

[Kat]

the spirit where it tell us from the real Stuff to the chill stuff and the in between. Sometimes the best thing you can do is just stop and feel things.

[Amy]

This is feeling things with Amy and Kat.

[Kat]

Happy Tuesday. Welcome to feeling things. I'm Amy. And I'm Kat and I'm feeling wild and worried.

[Amy]

Ooh.

[Kat]

You know some. Yeah. And before we came on air, just so y' all know, Kat and I were singing a song. Energy, energy, we need energy. E N E G R Y.

[Amy]

You just added some to the song.

[Kat]

I don't even know if I spelled that correctly. No, I was spelling it.

[Amy]

Oh. I was saying give Amy energy.

[Kat]

Oh. I thought we both needed it.

[Amy]

Think.

[Kat]

Do you feel good?

[Amy]

I feel pretty good. I feel like yeah, I've been getting out of breath but I have plenty of energy right now.

[Kat]

Okay.

[Amy]

But if you want me to be in that with you, I will.

[Kat]

Well, I have a little afternoon pick me up my coffee. But I brought this cuz part of the reason why I'm wowed.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Kat]

Did you know that straws are supposed to go like this?

[Amy]

No, they're not.

[Kat]

Yes, they are.

[Amy]

No, they're not.

[Kat]

Yes, they are. Yes they are. Because when you get to the bottom, it's easier to slurp up what's left at the bottom. You know how if you were on this end you have to like maneuver it? No, I told you. I saw so many posts about it.

[Amy]

I don't think that's right.

[Kat]

No, it's right. It is right. I know, I know it seems crazy, but that's. You've been drink using your straws all wrong.

[Amy]

Isn't it easy to slurp up the bottom with the other side too?

[Kat]

No.

[Amy]

What makes that better? It's.

[Kat]

It's already been. You don't have to maneuver your cup. You just. You're ready to go. You don't. I saw this and it made sense to me. Does it not?

[Amy]

I don't think that's because I've always

[Kat]

done my straw the other way. But especially the kind from to go restaurants that are bendy. You bend it and it goes.

[Amy]

Definitely are not supposed to go upside down.

[Kat]

That's what they said even in a juice box. So like in a Capri. Like a. Not a Capri sun because those straws are straight, but an apple juice box that has the bend. When you're drinking apple juice box, you're trying to slurp up every last thing but when you put the bend in first, you can get the end. You can get all the apple juice in the box.

[Amy]

Does this not make Sense to you?

[Kat]

Because I saw it and I was

[Amy]

like, right, I think. This is what I think. I think you can do that.

[Kat]

I think we should look up the original invention of the straw, because when I saw it, I was wowed.

[Amy]

But I thought the straw goes like that so it can come into your mouth like when you hold a juice box. Did your mom used to flip up the end of the juice box so it has little two holders on the side?

[Kat]

No, but I did see later in life that that's what those are for.

[Amy]

Okay, so when you're holding it, it's. So you just have to like.

[Kat]

Yeah, but imagine if you had the bendy down you get. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I was wowed by it. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm. This is stupid.

[Amy]

But if it. If it makes you feel good and you enjoy it makes drinking that more fun.

[Kat]

Well, I don't know. I just was wowed by it. But maybe not. I'm also worried.

[Amy]

Okay. What are you worried about?

[Kat]

I'm worried that I was wowed by that. Maybe you should be lorried. Here, I'll show you. Let me pull this up on my phone. I took a screenshot of it. I woke up this morning, and my aura ring. I check my app, and it had this sort of red cloud situation. Orange, almost like.

[Amy]

Like.

[Kat]

Yeah, it's kind of ominous.

[Amy]

Ominous.

[Kat]

Is that what that does that fit feels ominous?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

And it says symptom radar. Minor signs. Your biometrics show minor signs of something straining your body. Pay attention to how you're feeling today and give yourself time to rest if needed. Okay. Symptom radar. It's the first time I've gotten a. It's. It's probably because it's getting to know my biometrics because I've now had my ring for a few weeks now, and it takes a minute for it to build up your body's normal heart rate and temperature, and something's off.

[Amy]

Well. And you were just complaining about your back hurting.

[Kat]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And being stressed.

[Kat]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So it's.

[Kat]

I think I know what it is.

[Amy]

Yeah, that freaks me out. That.

[Kat]

Isn't that crazy?

[Amy]

Well, I. When I first saw you put that in the doc, my first thought was like, is your aura ring good for you? Because, you know, when you have that kind of stuff, sometimes you can, like, become, like, obsessed with it and work, like, worried. But I see where your worries come as long as you don't feel well.

[Kat]

I just. If. If. If you think my body is reacting to some things. That are going on in my life right now. Fine. That's just information. I'm like, oh, wow, that tracks. But if I'm having other animals, I mean, I don't know, is it telling me I have something else? We'll see when I wake up tomorrow. I'm not going to add more stress by stressing about it. Even though I just said I was feeling worried, I think I know that I'm worried. I already know I'm worried. I'm worried about something and in a few days there will be resolve to that and I won't need to be worried anymore and it will be fine. But what's crazy is I know I'm worried and my ring picked up on my worry.

[Amy]

Yeah, that is kind of. I wouldn't say freaking me out, but it's worrying that how?

[Kat]

Well, but I also.

[Amy]

That.

[Kat]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Because, you know, I went on a stint trying to wear a ring like that, but I got the off brand one right. And the battery kept dying and that was stressing me out. And so I was like, this isn't worth it.

[Kat]

I got a request for. Obviously we do endorsements for different things. And I got a request for, I guess, an off brand ring.

[Amy]

I wonder if it's the one that I used.

[Kat]

I don't know. But I just got it this morning and I replied back and I was like, I just got an aura ring like three weeks ago, and if I start promoting this, it just will not be in alignment because I've been.

[Amy]

You've been talking about screaming from the

[Kat]

rooftops about my aura and I paid the full.

[Amy]

Oh, you pay the membership and everything?

[Kat]

Yeah, it's like five bucks.

[Amy]

Well, I got this other ring because I didn't have a membership. And then I'm like, the membership was

[Kat]

probably worth it because isn't that how you get the data?

[Amy]

Yeah, but the one I got. You got the data, but you didn't have to pay for the membership. Oh, but I think that just. I have lower quality.

[Kat]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Anywho, I'm sorry that you're feeling worried.

[Kat]

It's okay.

[Amy]

We do have some information about the bendy straw.

[Kat]

Oh, shall do. I might. Do I not want to look? Oh, no. The bendy straw was invented in 1937 by Joseph Friedman, Shout out. He patented the first flexible straw, which. Speaking of patents, did you know I'm working on a patent?

[Amy]

Yeah, but you haven't told me what it's for.

[Kat]

It's top secret. Using dental floss and a screw to create an accordion like joint. After watching his daughter struggle to reach her milkshake. Oh, so it was invented for that? Well, I got got. I got got.

[Amy]

You did get got. But I thought it was really adorable how excited you were about that. And if it works, let it work for you.

[Kat]

I really thought that it was to get it out of the bottom.

[Amy]

You were like, every human on earth has been using their straws.

[Kat]

I know. I was like, well, this is about the. The. The bendy straw, right? What about the metal straw with. What about the metal straw with a bend?

[Amy]

I think that is a reusable bendy straw.

[Kat]

The. The. We haven't talked about the metal straw with the bend. Google that. See what comes up.

[Amy]

He's like, I will make this work for me.

[Kat]

What are your. What's your feelings of the day?

[Amy]

Okay. I'm feeling quite relieved because I've been talking about this for probably a month now, and I'm even sick of talking about it. The baby stroller.

[Kat]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

Patrick, my husband, you know, he doesn't. He's the most easygoing guy in the world. Doesn't get annoyed. He was annoyed with me.

[Kat]

Wow.

[Amy]

So we opened. We bought a stroller, like, two weeks ago, and I still couldn't stop researching and overthinking and, well, do I need this? And blah, blah, blah, blah. We opened the box last night.

[Kat]

We can't return it because you opened it. Once you open it.

[Amy]

This is actually really interesting. And I thought. I really liked this because I was like, why can't we open it and look at it and, you know, roll it around the house and then decide if we want it? But they don't. You can't return a stroller because you've touched it and contaminated it. So they don't want to package that back up and sell it to another family because of the germs.

[Kat]

Wait, what?

[Amy]

Yeah, I thought that was cool.

[Kat]

Okay. But there's so many items. Other baby items, people's homes.

[Amy]

That's fair. There's other baby items that you can do that with. But that's what I was told. Maybe it's some. The same as the bendy stroller.

[Kat]

Spray it down.

[Amy]

But, yeah, you can't return the stroller. And Patrick was like, well, we could just, like, tape the box back really good. But it's one of those boxes where it, like the. The. There's, like, perforated cardboard, not just taped, so you couldn't. But we opened it. I really liked it, and he made the deal that if I hate it, he'll buy me A new one. So I think we're in a win. Win. But mark my words, I will never talk about a stroller again on here or. I probably didn't talk about it to you much.

[Kat]

What? I was with you in downtown Breakland on Saturday, and every time you saw a stroller, you were like, there's. Check out that stroller.

[Listener (Voicemail)]

What?

[Kat]

Kindness. There's that same stroller. We saw, like, three different ones. And I said, if we see a fourth one, then that's the. That's a sign that that's the brand you. You need. And it was the brand you had.

[Amy]

Yeah, it was.

[Kat]

And we saw a fourth one. We did, like, right after I said that. So it's obviously a popular one. Yeah.

[Amy]

So, yeah, you got a little taste of that. Imagine being with me for a whole day. Wouldn't that be fun?

[Kat]

If you decide you don't like it, you could sell it on Facebook. Marketplace.

[Amy]

Well, that's going to be my plan.

[Kat]

But imagine the germs just.

[Amy]

Okay. When I heard that, it made sense. Just like the Vendy straws. Now that I'm talking about it, I'm like, maybe this is just a scam. So you can't return a stroller.

[Kat]

Yeah. Or like a crib. Can you not return a crib? I have no idea. I don't know. I've never bought baby things. I have car seat.

[Amy]

Well. And. Well, I don't think so because. Well, not the car seat. We're, I think, like the same brand. Maybe that's what it is.

[Kat]

More safety. Not germs, but whatever.

[Amy]

The lady at the store. But. Okay. Shannon said it was safety. Well, germs are part of safety.

[Kat]

That's okay. It's okay. Bendy straws. Germs.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Kat]

It's fine. We see things, we think things, we believe things.

[Amy]

I also have a warning for people. You're looking at me scared.

[Kat]

Well, because. What's the warning?

[Amy]

Well, so we started a new show called Widows Bay, or Widows. I think it's Widow's Bay. I wanted to say Widow's peak, but that's the hairline. It's the same guy from the Beast in Me. You liked that show?

[Kat]

Oh, yes, yes, yes. With Claire Danes.

[Amy]

Yes, yes, yes. That creepy guy. He's in this show, too. And so we started this show. It's coming out week by week, so you can't binge it, which is, like, kind of a bummer. Also, I kind of like it because you have something to look forward to. The first episode. I'm not giving Anything away. Don't worry. The first episode is not scary. It's. It's almost like you don't know if it's going to be a little like cheesy or scary. As it keeps going, can confirm it is terrifying. So if anybody does not like scary movies or scary shows or doesn't like watching these things by themselves, watch with caution. However it is good.

[Kat]

Okay. So something to look forward to.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, if you like. Yes. But if you like it. But just know that it is. I've had nightmares and I had to close my eyes a lot. Wouldn't watch it alone.

[Kat]

Okay. So watch with caution or with someone.

[Amy]

Yeah. Can you watch a scary movie?

[Kat]

It's not my favorite.

[Listener (Voicemail)]

Okay.

[Kat]

It's not my favorite.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Kat]

But it just depends on the overall.

[Amy]

You could do like a thriller. You could do Beast. Any by yourself.

[Kat]

Yeah, yeah. Which I do.

[Amy]

That's a little scary.

[Kat]

I guess it depends on how we define scary. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

I have a question that. That doesn't come up.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Kat]

I'm just curious if there's anything you're loving right now and I can go first if you want to think about it because I have something that I am loving right now. That's just really random.

[Amy]

Well, I think you want to go first, so I want to hear this.

[Kat]

Well, I don't have to go first. Go first. Green peas. If you were to say, Amy, what are you loving right now? I would say green peas. For frozen green peas.

[Amy]

Is this because Courtney Cook?

[Kat]

No. What'd she do?

[Amy]

I saw her cook dinner and she made green peas.

[Kat]

No, this isn't because of Courtney Cook. I saw a thing just like I felt. I saw a video projecting future telling fortune. Like they don't know for sure, but they were like green peas are the next cottage cheese. Why? Because they are higher in protein than any other vegetable. They're also high in fiber and they're very filling and they fill out a meal. Well, here's the thing. I have a 15 year old son and he loves things that are green. He loves lettuce, he loves avocado. He loves green anything broccoli. Broccoli. He'll eat anything green. He'll go and open up the lettuce box in the refrigerator and just eat lettuce out like a rabbit. I know it's interesting for sure. Especially for a teenager. And he likes the. The peas. So I've been using peas as a filler. That's how I got onto it. Not only did I see that video projecting that they're the new.

[Amy]

Yeah. We're not making like no green pea pancakes and green pea.

[Kat]

Probably not.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Kat]

So it's not exactly the new. But whatever marketing team cottage cheese has, they're like, if green peas could get that marketing, they would be up there.

[Amy]

Huh. Because what are you putting them in? I don't like a pee.

[Kat]

I love a pee.

[Amy]

I'll eat a pea in a pot pie because it's just like in there. But I'm not eating a spoonful.

[Kat]

I love a piano pot pie. No, no. I'm. I'm adding them to things. So I'm adding them to.

[Amy]

Don't say smoothie.

[Kat]

Ground beef with rice. Oh, that could add the peas. A chicken curry. Chicken with rice and peas. So I am stretching out meals with the peas.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Kat]

And it's helping because my son is eating so much that if I add a bag of frozen peas to the pound of ground meat and then thing full of rice, I've stretched the meal out and it's high. It's. It's got protein, it has fiber. So it has other. It's not just this filler. Filler. Like it actually is doing something. I think also they contain polyphenols, which provide protective health benefits rich in antioxidants. Who knew green peas just need new marketing. If green peas had better marketing.

[Amy]

Peas are. That's like the one food that children hate. Like I feel like peas have. They're universally hated vegetable.

[Kat]

It's such a nice little surprise. Like when you bite.

[Amy]

I like a pee when you can't taste it.

[Kat]

Amazon Health AI presents Painful thoughts.

[Kat]

I. I can't stop scratching my downtown. Mm. Yeah, but I'm not itching to go

[Commercial Narrator / Bowen Yang]

downtown and tell a receptionist I'm here

[Kat]

to talk about my downtown.

[Commercial Narrator / Bowen Yang]

Some things you'd rather type than say out loud. There's no question too embarrassing For Amazon Health AI, chat your symptoms and get virtual care 24. 7.

[Kalpen]

Healthcare just got less painful.

[Amy]

That made me think of when you were talking about, you have a teenager and he, like, eats a lot. A lot. I saw this thing. It's like quick little meme on Instagram that said, imagine what would be different with girls growing up if we looked at them and said, they're just a growing girl. Just like we look at boys and say, he's just a growing boy. It's a lot, but it's like, imagine how we'd feel, like, better, like, feeding ourselves and eating the peas if we wanted to eat peas. So just food for thought of how we, you know, talk about the differences between girls and boys because they're.

[Kat]

They're all. They're both growing.

[Amy]

We're both. We're both growing.

[Kat]

But with girls, it's more like, are you sure you're gonna eat more of them? Yeah.

[Amy]

And they're going through puberty, too. It's more like, oh, she's going through puberty. You know, she's.

[Kat]

She won't stop eating. Shannon found some fun and vibrant recipes with green peas. Okay. Creamy pea pesto, Fresh spring pasta with burrata, Pea hummus with mint.

[Amy]

No, she puts savory pea pancakes. No, we're not. We are not.

[Kat]

No, they're doing savory. They're savory. I feel like that. I feel like that could be an appetizer as a. At a restaurant or like the. The.

[Amy]

Like a delicacy, but not like, not a delicacy.

[Kat]

It could be a pancake. Like, not that you just eat by itself, but sort of like a tortilla that you put food on top of. Like, you could put meat on top of your savory pea pancake. Like that sounds.

[Amy]

But we're not doing elevated pea pancake instead of just eating pancakes.

[Kat]

Says savory.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kat]

But I do love a salty sweet. So a savory pea pancake with some maple syrup on top might be nice. All of these recipes use frozen peas to add instant sweetness and bright color to meals.

[Amy]

I think you should get on the P. PR Team.

[Kat]

P Marketing. Yeah, they should hire you green pea growers. Well, that's what I'm loving right now. What are you loving right now?

[Amy]

Okay, I'm gonna do two things, because when you first asked me, for some reason, I couldn't get my brain off of a food, and I actually have been eating something that I used to eat all the time. Do you ever just snack on frozen mango?

[Kat]

No.

[Amy]

Are you open to it?

[Kat]

Seems a little like my sensitive teeth.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Kat]

I don't know. That feels the.

[Amy]

If you get frozen, you can at Trader Joe's. You can buy a bag of frozen mango. Mangoes are expensive and they're hard to cut, so that's.

[Kat]

Frozen mango is where it's at.

[Amy]

They're already chopped up in little cubes. So you take the frozen mango, you put it in a serving of it, or however much you want in a little bowl. You wait like, five, ten minutes, let it thaw a little bit, and then you eat it. And it's almost like a popsicle. Or like mini. Like, sorbet bites.

[Kat]

Oh, okay. I could get down with that.

[Amy]

So good. And I've been craving a lot of fruit lately.

[Kat]

Ooh, throw some green peas in there. Some frozen green peas. I'm just kidding.

[Amy]

Okay. And then the other thing I've been loving. This kind of matches with your aura ring. I don't know if you've noticed that I've been wearing a watch the last two weeks.

[Kat]

I have.

[Amy]

Why haven't you asked me about my new watch?

[Kat]

You're right. I almost said something about it on Saturday when we were in Franklin, because

[Amy]

I've never worn a watch before.

[Kat]

I got distracted by. I don't know what. Probably a stroller.

[Amy]

I know why you. You got distracted by a caramel apple because you have never eaten a caramel apple before.

[Kat]

No. I mean, not that I can't remember. I've never bought one or ordered one. Like, as an adult. I don't know if I tried one as a kid. It's just never been my thing.

[Amy]

Well, I don't think it's my thing, but it's like, an American thing.

[Kat]

Yeah, no.

[Amy]

People were shocked that you had never eaten a caramel apple before. Anyway, I've been wearing my watch every day, so. Yeah, you saw it on Saturday. You probably saw it last week. And it counts my Steps.

[Kat]

Oh, okay. Are you sure that that's.

[Amy]

It's probably not accurate.

[Kat]

Is that healthy for you?

[Amy]

Well, I have been my job. I sit down all the time. And I also don't like, you know, how your phone tracks your steps. I don't like, you don't carry my phone.

[Kat]

And so you're missing out on valuable steps when you get up to go to the bathroom or something.

[Amy]

Well, I more so was like, at the end of the day, I'd look and I'm like, I have 500 steps. And I'm like, well, that's not healthy because I'm sitting for five hours. I can't walk when I'm working. And so I wanted to know, like, accurately, like, how much am I really walking and moving? Because when I get home from work, I've also been, you know, pregnancy. I'll give myself a lot of grace for the first. Why are you laughing?

[Kat]

I just. Well, I was curious. You want to know why I'm laughing? Okay, here's my brain. While you're talking, I'm like, oh, I wonder what is the brand? Oh, should you put that in the next newsletter as like the item that you're obsessed with at the moment? And then I was like picturing you having your cute little watch, like, tap here if you want to get one. And then over it's like, what is under my picture? And it's green bees. So then I was like, okay, you

[Amy]

want me to link piece?

[Kat]

I probably think I probably need to find something else that I would link. But what brand is it? Because it's. I've never seen it.

[Amy]

So I found this from a friend who saw an influencer post about it. My friend was like, she swears by this watch. And I'm like, she probably doesn't wear that watch because if she posts an aura ring, less people are going to buy that than if she posts this 27 watch. So I was skeptical.

[Kat]

It was only 27.

[Amy]

27. It's like, nice looking. It's time, year time year, time, year.

[Kat]

To mirror, to mirror, to mirror.

[Amy]

It was 27. So I was like, if it's. If it doesn't work, whatever. I've loved having like the time on my hand though. And like it has the day of the week and the date and it has. I can set an alarm. It's like I've never had a watch before.

[Kat]

I'm like, how old do we sound?

[Amy]

I'm like, guys, this is the most riveting episode.

[Kat]

Green peas. And have you ever worn a watch

[Amy]

okay, you asked what.

[Kat]

I'm loving this, but it is really cute. It is like. It's like a gold. It's different. It's not one you see every day for $27.

[Amy]

Well, and like, I used to have. I did have a watch at one point. I had an apple watch back in the day and I had like a Garmin. I use those when I would run to, like, track my distance and, like, my pace and stuff. But I don't want to know all of that. Like, I just want to know, like, am I, like, getting around. I want to be like seven to 8,000 steps a day. I'm fine with. I was getting like 500.

[Kat]

You know, obviously the standard that we've heard forever is like 10,000, blah, blah. But that not totally necessary. Although it's a good goal to have, I think, if you're able. But I wouldn't. I used to beat myself up about it if I didn't make it to 10, but now I at least try to make it to 4,000 because I saw, like, for our mental health, 4,000 is the goal for your brain. So I'm like, okay, I'd rather approach this for brain health than.

[Amy]

Right.

[Kat]

And then as long as I'm between 4 and 10, I feel good about it.

[Amy]

Well, and like the other day, like I said, I was like, first trimester, I was on the couch all day long. I'm allowed to do that. But then I got in this habit of, like, getting home from work and just sitting on the couch, and it's so nice out. And when I looked at my watch and I was like, you've had 1600 steps and it's 3 o' clock in the afternoon. It was so motivating to get me to go outside.

[Kat]

Right.

[Amy]

You know, not even because I'm like, I have to burn these calories. It was like, I probably need some fresh air. Like, it's really nice and it's fashionable.

[Kat]

So. Yeah. So shout out to the love influencer that your friends haul.

[Amy]

Yeah. And it made me think of how you were, like, six months ago. We talked about this. Like, do influencers really use the stuff that they sell? I did think about that when she told me, but then, honestly, I'm like, well, if it's a good wreck, I don't really care if she really uses it. Yeah, she probably has a nicer watch.

[Kat]

But if that's when you can throw on or you really like it, then yeah.

[Amy]

And if I break it, if something

[Kat]

happens to it, you're not worried about It.

[Amy]

I'll lose it eventually.

[Kat]

Like, yeah, money ain't a thing.

[Amy]

$27.

[Kat]

So people really resonated with your glasses story from last week.

[Amy]

Like, which made me feel so seen.

[Kat]

I was bumping on social media, like, tons of shares. Sorry, I eat green peas now. I bump in. I mean, popping. It was popping off.

[Amy]

Popping.

[Kat]

It was popping off. That's. That's what the kids say. No, it was popping off. It got shared like, what, like a thousand times or something? Or almost.

[Amy]

Last time I checked, it was around 800, but, like, let's shoot for a thousand.

[Kat]

Okay, let's see where it is now. Okay, I'll look it up. Because it's been a couple days since

[Amy]

I. Yours popped off, too?

[Kat]

Well, yeah, but when something gets shared. Yes, mine might have more views of my parents doing it, but I don't know if people. I think people are just like, oh, that's so many people. I mean, there were people in the comments. They're like, oh, my gosh, that happened to me. Too scarred for life. Which. We have a voicemail coming up. We'll play probably. I think towards the end of the show, we have a funny voicemail that we got from a listener regarding that. But I think with yours, people were resonating like, this is me anxiety as a kid, or I would sleep with my glasses and. Okay, let's see. Let's go to the shares. Is it popping? Is it 917?

[Amy]

Oh, my goodness.

[Kat]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay, so it's still going.

[Kat]

Mm, yeah.

[Amy]

Who knew?

[Kat]

Social media, it's weird how it works because you would think, like, that many shares anyway, that would be videos. I don't know what makes something viral. You never know.

[Amy]

I think sometimes it's random.

[Kat]

It's totally random. We know that for us, if we talk about giving cussing, giving people permission to cuss for their mental health, that worked really well.

[Amy]

Well, and because remember. Not remember, but you posted that same video to Tick Tock. And I looked and it had like a thousand views.

[Kat]

Well, Instagram loved it.

[Amy]

Yes. Well, it's just weird how that works. Like, one can pop off and the other.

[Kat]

It's two different worlds. Kane Brown was talking about how he's got Instagram or meta. Like, meta things like Facebook and Instagram down. He's got those on lock. He said, as an artist, he cannot pop off on Tick Tock, which you would think. And he's like, he's really famous. Yeah, he. He is. I interviewed him at I Heart Country Festival, and that's one of the things he said that his team just had this whole meeting about how he can't freaking figure out Tick Tock. And it's not for lack of trying. Yeah, like, he's like, out there trying to figure it out, and he's just like, I don't know. He's like, I feel like if you're already established, Tick Tock is great for new people getting exposure.

[Amy]

Okay, well, we're not established yet.

[Kat]

But for him, like, as an artist, like, he's got so many popular things going on, he would think it would happen for him. But it was interesting to hear someone with a lot of success talk about how they're struggling with certain.

[Amy]

Well, thanks, Brown. That makes us feel better.

[Kat]

Oh, well. So we did. I. We got an email that I wanted to share. Okay. And shout out to Angie, who listens from Georgia, and she's 61.

[Amy]

All right.

[Kat]

Angie. Hey, Amy and Kat. I've been listening to y' all since before feeling things and just love your conversations and friendship. Now that I'm thinking she's 61, she probably loves our watching P. Talk the right demographic. Angie, shout out Greenpeace. After listening this week, I just wanted to let Kat know that she wasn't the only one who was so fearful as a child. I was always worried I was going to get kidnapped, too. I had a lot of irrational fears, and I'm so glad I finally outgrew them. Congratulations on your pregnancy. Have the day you need to have.

[Amy]

Thanks, Angie. I was reading a lot of those comments, and honestly, I felt like, because that nobody's ever. I've told that story to a million people. Nobody's ever been like, me, too. They're just kind of how you were. Like, I feel so bad for you. A lot of the people were saying, like, what they did, and Elizabeth Fazio wrote on there that she would do that because she was afraid of a zombie apocalypse. And so now I'm like, I have to rethink my outgrowing this fear. I should be wearing my glass. Like, what do I do if something happens? I wear contacts. You don't wear contacts.

[Kat]

No.

[Amy]

What happens if there's like, I don't know. Let's. Okay. Zombie apocalypse probably is not gonna happen, but the world, I mean, some crazy stuff could happen. And we could be like, what happened in Bird Box, that movie?

[Kat]

Well, they couldn't see anyways, so you'd be fine.

[Amy]

They couldn't.

[Listener (Voicemail)]

Yeah.

[Kat]

Okay.

[Listener (Voicemail)]

Okay.

[Amy]

You're right. But I was just thinking, like, if we get, like, stranded somewhere or something like that, like, you can only wear contacts for so long. You can't sleep in them. Like my eyes get. I have to take my contacts out.

[Kat]

We'll just have a go bag like you need. Like a go bag with multiple glasses. With glasses. Other necessities. Yeah, that's what they call it in the military if they have to deploy quickly somewhere. Like when I was married to Ben and he was in the Air force with his particular line of work, he had a go bag ready at all times.

[Amy]

What do people. This is. You might not know the answer, but you might. Because of that, if you're in the military and you wear glasses or contacts, do you carry. Can you wear glasses?

[Kat]

I don't know. Ben couldn't have any vision problems as a pilot. In fact.

[Amy]

Wait, you have to have. No, you can't wear contacts and be in the army.

[Kat]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Well, Ben, he was maybe different.

[Kat]

I don't know. His stuff was different. I just know he was always like trying to. He's always nervous. Anytime he had to go to the eye doctor, he. He had to do physicals.

[Amy]

And he doesn't wear contacts or glasses. I guess you could get lazy.

[Kat]

He does now. He has like reading glasses, but they're not. It's only if he's on the computer.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Kat]

But I don't know if to fly an airplane he needs the glasses because he can.

[Amy]

Well, that makes sense that you wouldn't be able to wear contacts and be in like Special Forces or something like that. I've never thought about that.

[Kat]

I'm not. Okay. Okay. Shannon said yes, you can wear contact lenses in the army, but not during basic combat training or field deployment environments. While allowed on normal duty, they must be clear. Oh, so you can't. You can't wear colored contacts.

[Amy]

I had purple contacts in high school. Yeah.

[Kat]

So what about Sheen and will you look up for pilots? Because now I'm curious. Like Air Force pilots, if they can. I just remember Ben always being like, I nervous to go to his. And then he. He would end up doing fine, but he would be nervous anytime cuz he had to do these eye drops. Well, I'm probably saying too much now. I don't want to get him into. He's out now, but his best friend was a doctor and he got these eye drops. But he never wanted to be on his record that he used the eye drops.

[Listener (Voicemail)]

Huh.

[Kat]

So his friend would just be like, here's some samples.

[Amy]

I. I guess you could get LASIK eye surgery. Honestly, the government should pay for that.

[Kat]

It says to Wear contacts while flying. You must be enrolled in the Air Force's contact lens program. Okay, so I guess you can. I don't really know. Ben did not.

[Amy]

It's just something to think about.

[Kat]

Avoided it at all costs like he didn't want to ever have. How Ben liked to be at his job was under the radar. He wanted no asterisks next to his name.

[Amy]

I didn't want to be special.

[Kat]

He didn't want to be special. He wanted to be noticed.

[Amy]

He didn't want awards.

[Kat]

He did, and he did win awards.

[Amy]

He didn't want. Oh, he didn't want that.

[Kat]

He actually excel. Like, he was always top of his unit. Like, people highly revered him. Is that. Oh, does that sound military?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

You know, with our daughter, he has a. A medal that he got from one of the wars. Not a purple heart because he's never been shot at or in combat or anything, but he has a. A bronze star maybe or something. And you can put that on your license plate. Now. He would never for himself. He doesn't want that kind of attention. But when our daughter started driving, he put it on her car.

[Amy]

What does she get for that?

[Kat]

Well, she's black. And his thinking. When we went through adoption training, they said, as white people, you aren't gonna understand what your child may go through of a different race when they're pulled over. And this isn't anything again. I mean, it's just there's stories out there, so you can't be too careful. It's not like we're. I know. I. Law enforcement that respects all races. I'm not pinpointing anything. I guess I just feel weird saying it because I don't want anybody to think I'm calling them out. But obviously we know of circumstances in which people have been treated unfairly, and so we thought for her, it's just like an extra protection that we won't ever understand. But they may see. Oh, Air Force. Oh, a metal. Oh, tell me. And she could say, oh, my dad served in the Air Force. And it's more of a conversation starting starter of like, oh, fellow.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

First responder type. Or, you know, police, military, firefighter. That was like our one thing we could do for her that we won't ever understand as white people. A complicated wellness routine is something that I just do not have the time for. That's where Suja Organic comes in and saves me every single time. I love their cold pressed juices and wellness shots. I genuinely feel like I did something nutritious for my body. Without making it a whole production. My go to juices are Ginger Love and Uber Greens. I also love the Turmeric Pineapple Immunity shot. It is small but mighty.

[Kat]

Who's the guy that was in the family movie with me?

[Amy]

Tell you the story?

[Kat]

Oh, you know. Oh, you say it because I know it. Yeah. Sterling K. Brown. I only know this loosely.

[Amy]

Well, I couldn't remember I talked to you about this, but no, I think

[Kat]

Bobby talked to me about it. So I never heard it from you.

[Amy]

So he was on Armchair Expert before Paradise came out the second season. He also was in what is that?

[Kat]

The Mandy Moore one.

[Amy]

What is that? This is us. Yes.

[Kat]

Thanks, Kat.

[Amy]

This was a really interesting perspective. So Dax Shepard, the host of Armchair, they do not post their kids on social media and I think if they do that, they like put a thing over their face or something. And they were talking about how they raised Dax and Sterling K. Brown were talking about how I feel like I can't call Sterling K. Brown by his first name but I can call Dax by his first name.

[Kat]

Like I don't even. Sterling.

[Amy]

Yeah, I didn't feel the need to say Dax Shepard but I felt the need to say Sterling. I'm not on that level with him yet. So he was talking to him about like how they protect their children or how they raise their children being so famous. And Dax was like, well, we hide. We don't like want them to be on the Internet. And then we want them to be able to like go out and be normal people and all that. And then Sterling K. Brown was like, oh, that's so interesting because we do the exact opposite because we want people to know who they are, to protect them because Sterling K. Brown is black, Dax Shepard is white. And it was, it was actually really cool conversation for them to talk about that and to be able to see the other's perspective and for Dax to be like. Because I think a lot of people, this is a judgment of a judgment, but I think a lot of people see People that put their kids on the Internet and are like, you shouldn't do that. But Sterling K. Brown is like, no, we want people to know who our kids are so they have more. Not visibility. So they get things, but so they're protected and they don't get misjudged or hurt or whatever. Wrongly accused of something. And I just thought that was. I mean, it was eye opening for me. I've never had to think about that.

[Kat]

Yeah. And that's what we learned in the adopted training. Adoption training. If you're going to have a. Adopt a different race. Like, you're not gonna.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

Under. Understand what they may go through. And we were like, oh, well, can't hurt.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

So Ben decided to put that on her license plate.

[Amy]

And I do recommend. Have you listened to that episode yet? Okay. Even if you don't listen to Armchair Expert, I would listen to that episode because it was very. They. They talk about all kinds of stuff. His life is so interesting. Like, so interesting. And he is the most, like, energetic human who has I've ever heard tell a traumatic story. Like, he has a heart, some hard things in his life, but his attitude is like, you just want to, like, bottle it up.

[Kat]

Oh, okay. I'll go check it out. And then when you were telling the story again. I know. I heard Bobby and Caitlin told me about it. But then when you were telling it just now, I was like, did we talk about it? I don't know. Like, did we talk? Then I was like, did we talk about it on the podcast? No, I don't know if we did. Sorry, sorry. We can't remember.

[Amy]

If we can't remember. Maybe you don't remember.

[Kat]

And then you're just here. Yeah, no big deal. Something that we did talk about last week. We shared the email relating to your fear of being kidnapped. And now we have a voicemail that is talking about keeping a gun under your bed. This is from a listener who. Whose dad has had her around guns her whole life. So it's very different, I think, if you're more comfortable being around guns. And here's what she had to say.

[Listener (Voicemail)]

Okay, ladies, I'm listening to your show from Spicewood, Texas, and I am feeling protective because I totally agree with the serial killer. My dad has had me around guns my whole life. I've done female defense courses at where our police train and all kinds of stuff. So I feel very comfortable. And I think that that is very big part about having guns. But I too, have a.38 special. Excuse me, a.38 caliber as you were saying? By my bed. And it is in. My dad built something. It's a piece of metal and the holster is welded to it. So if it's in between your box springs and mattress. So it's there, ready to go. And I heard you mention safety. There's no safety on that gun. And that's why it's a great home defense gun, because when you wake up, whatever the case may be, you just pull the trigger. So I highly recommend that. I understand with kids in the house having one of those fingerprint boxes, but I would have it ready to go right on my bedside table. I also carry bear spray. Bear spray shoots a lot farther than mace. Just a suggestion.

[Kat]

Okay, so that's good to know about the bear spray.

[Amy]

Yeah, I never.

[Kat]

Because I think I'm more likely to have bear spray than a.38.

[Amy]

Well, what's a fingerprint box?

[Kat]

Oh, well, you. It's locks it. And you. You. Your fingerprint. That way it's safe for kids. Like a gun box that's locked. Okay. But it can only unlock with your fingerprints.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna. I'll keep the bear spray under my bed for sure.

[Kat]

Yeah, that's right. I. I'm more likely to have the bear spray.

[Amy]

Yeah. Also because, I mean, I think I said this last week. Last week. Patrick sometimes does weird sleep things so I can see him. You don't want an unlocked gun near him if he's sleepwalking or something. No, we would end up on the

[Kat]

news, maybe even bear spray. I'm nervous about that now. For you, too.

[Amy]

That's. We need safety on the bear spray.

[Kat]

Could he use that as a defense? Like, if something were to happen? Just. Do people get off if they have sleepwalking in their.

[Amy]

I'm sure that. Well, if he, like, murdered me in my sleep, and he'd be like.

[Kat]

Yeah, but it was an accident. I don't know. I wonder, because we know he has episodes. Like, for sure. Not like that. But he sleep walk.

[Amy]

He's never. Well, he's only. Since I've been with him, he's only gotten out of the bed twice. But he does. He'll talk. And sometimes he does interesting movements.

[Kat]

Right. Okay.

[Amy]

That's interesting. Yeah. I don't know.

[Kat]

I don't know either. That was from Lindsay, by the way. And she called back and left another message because she had more to say. And boy, am I glad she called back because this is a really good tip.

[Listener (Voicemail)]

Okay, I forgot this part. Two cats sleeping in her glasses. When I was a little kid. This is Lindsay from Spicewood that just called. I forgot to put this part on this. I used to sleep when I was a kid with a big stick, and I called it a weenie stick. So if anybody broke in, I'd hit him in the weenie. Hope that serial killers are having the day they need to have I a weenie stick.

[Kat]

So I could do a weenie stick and bear spray. Yeah, for sure.

[Amy]

I wonder if it was like, it's actual stick outside, or did you have, like, a baton or something? Like.

[Kat]

Oh, I was picturing, like, a metal rod.

[Amy]

I mean, baseball bat.

[Kat]

Good, Good point. That's interesting. You were maybe picturing a stick outside. I was picturing, like, one of those sticks that police use, like a night stick.

[Amy]

The baton thing.

[Kat]

Isn't that called a nightstick? Oh, I don't know.

[Amy]

Sure.

[Kat]

It's. I think it's called a baton, too.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Kat]

But not like a baton. You would twirl. Did you ever have a baton as a child?

[Amy]

Well, I. We did because my mom was a majorette in high school. She could troll fire.

[Kat]

Wow.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

That's awesome.

[Amy]

Yeah. Yeah. She still has, like, her, like, outfits, and she still has her batons from when she was in high school. We played with them when we were kids. But I could be like, mom, I need your baton to put under my

[Kat]

bed to be your weenie stick.

[Amy]

It's made out of metal. It would hurt.

[Kat]

We got another voicemail about our Chick Fil A protein bar discussion. This is from Toni.

[Listener (Voicemail)]

Hi, this is Tony, and I am in Lebanon, and I'm 42 years old. And I just wanted to let y' all know that at Chick Fil A, you can order just the chicken filet. It's in the app, and it's $4 and $0.70 if you order just the fried fillet. Just thought y' all might find that interesting. Thank you. And have the day you need to have.

[Kat]

So, you know, you don't even have to get the bun.

[Amy]

You don't have to have food waste.

[Kat]

I wasted the bun the other day. I went. After we talked about it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

I was craving it, so I went and I tried it, and I just ate the fried filet, and it was like, it was okay. Then I went back a couple days later, and I was with the kids, and I got nuggets, and I was like, this is where it's at. If I'm just gonna eat fried protein meat, I might as well eat the nuggets. Like, to me, it was Better. It was eating the filet felt weird.

[Amy]

What is the science hack behind doing the filet versus why weren't people just, like, go get chicken nuggets?

[Kat]

I think they were. It was just more of like, if you're gonna get a protein bar, like, get the filet.

[Listener (Voicemail)]

Cause it's a bar.

[Kat]

It's like more like just take a bite out of this instead of a protein bar. And honestly, there might be more protein in the fillet than nuggets. Unless you get a 12 count.

[Amy]

Maybe.

[Kat]

I don't know how many nuggets you have to get to equal the chicken fillet. Chicken fillet. But I just thought it was. Meh. I didn't.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Kat]

And when I got the nuggets, I was like, okay, this is where it's at. Because the filet, I wanted, like, the bread and.

[Amy]

And the pickles. I know you don't like the.

[Kat]

I don't like the pickles. That's fine.

[Amy]

And you ate it plain? No ketchup.

[Kat]

No, I dipped it and stuff.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Kat]

I dipped it. I dipped my protein bar in stuff. Shannon said that a standard fried chicken filet has around 23 grams, while a 12 count nugget contain a 40. So you're already getting more protein if you get the 12 count.

[Amy]

Oh, go for the 12 count, guys.

[Kat]

Let's go. I did see that. If you're a nurse at Chick Fil a, today's the final day, though. Today's the final day of Nurses Week. So I guess Nurses week started last week. And it goes until today when people are listening to this. It's going to be Tuesday the 12th, and that's the final day of Nurses week and the final day. You can get like a free Chick Fil A sandwich or chicken biscuit. Now that's where it's at. The chicken biscuit from Chick Fil A. But you have to have it on the biscuit.

[Amy]

Would never take the filet off of the biscuit. That's too good and precious of carbs.

[Kat]

So good. With a little jelly. Do you eat it with jelly? No.

[Amy]

But get this. This. I eat it plain.

[Kat]

Okay.

[Amy]

I don't like jelly. It's not my.

[Kat]

Okay.

[Amy]

My husband eats his chicken biscuit with ketchup on it.

[Kat]

Okay. I.

[Amy]

Is that not.

[Kat]

I love ketchup and I don't.

[Amy]

I love the idea of that on a biscuit.

[Kat]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Feels like not correct.

[Kat]

No, that's. I.

[Amy]

So I'd rather have jelly than the ketchup.

[Kat]

Yeah. So if you are a nurse I saw you could go by you just have to show a valid ID that you're a nurse. Here's my hospital identification card.

[Amy]

So you can't go be like, no, I'm a nurse.

[Kat]

I'm definitely not a nurse. But fun fact, May 12th is Nurses Day because that's Florence Nightingale's birthday and Florence Nightingale is the founder of modern nursing.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

Or something like that. So shout out to any of our listeners that are nurses. I feel like we probably have a lot. My sister Kim, my half sister Kim, she's a nurse.

[Amy]

Go get your chick.

[Kat]

Go get your free chick. Fil a today girl.

[Amy]

Do you know what? Like Florence Nightingale, like what time period she from? Like when you said that, like what is modern nursing?

[Kat]

Is she like from 19? Did she. Was she a nurse in like 1930 or 1940? 1820 to 1910. Oh, so modern nursing was. I was thinking it was like around, I don't know, the Great Depression,

[Amy]

Nurses before that.

[Kat]

I'm modern nursing.

[Amy]

What's a modern nurse?

[Kat]

I don't know. Yeah, so she died in 1910. So she wasn't even alive when the Titanic sank.

[Amy]

She was 90 years old though. Wow, good for shout out to her.

[Kat]

I was way late on that. Yeah, well, happy birthday, Florence.

[Amy]

Wait, when did the Titanic sing?

[Kat]

1912. You didn't know that?

[Amy]

How did you know that? I would have said 1920. For some reason,

[Kat]

I do not have the bandwidth for a 20 step wellness routine. That's why I love Suja Organic Cold pressed juices and shots. I grab an Uber greens or ginger love and I feel like I actually did something nutritious for myself without making it a whole thing.

Find your favorite [e-mail] that's P R E M I E R protein.com or at Amazon, Walmart and other major retailers.

[Kat]

You didn't know that?

[Amy]

How did you know that? I would have said 1920 for some reason.

[Kat]

No, 1912. And then the movie Titanic came out in 1997. 1997? Because I saw it Valentine's Day 1998 and it already been out a couple of months.

[Amy]

Were you on a date?

[Kat]

I was with and I remember my boyfriend at the time and I know when we dated so I know that's what we went to see.

[Amy]

Cute.

[Kat]

Did you see Titanic in theaters or you were too little?

[Amy]

This is the Thing about that I remember. This is what's weird. I remember being at my friend Katie's house and us being like, we're gonna go see Titanic in theaters, but I would have been eight years old.

[Kat]

Well, that's okay. I saw Pretty woman at nine.

[Amy]

You said 1997. Yeah, I was seven years old. There's no.

[Kat]

But it was still in theaters in 1998. Because I'm saying I went in 1998. I went Valentine's Day in 1998.

[Amy]

Well, I would have been seven at that time.

[Kat]

Okay.

[Amy]

But I can't imagine going, why do I have the memory that I did that? But there's no way I did that. Do you have any of those? Like, I have this distinct memory. Maybe I had a dream, maybe. Maybe I dreamt this happened and now I'm confusing like this dream I had as an adult with like an actual memory as a child.

[Kat]

I do that with pictures from childhood. Is like, like I. Or videos that I've seen where I think I was there. And then our brain, when we remember something, we remember the latest version of what we remember.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

And so then does our brain then start to think that we were actually there? And that's what it's registering.

[Amy]

Yeah. This is so meta in my. You know, so I don't think I saw it in theaters, but I might have had a dream that I did.

[Kat]

I have subtle signs that you're spiraling. Are you spiraling right now?

[Amy]

My brain, just like, you know when you're like. It's like that meme of all the math equations. That's what just happened to me when you were talking.

[Kat]

Okay, well, before we go into the subtle signs that you might be spiraling, we can honor Florence Nightingale and all the nurses out there. Okay. She is considered the founder of modern nursing and a pioneer in hospital sanitation. Thank you for that. Florence Nightingale. Evidence based care and statistical analysis and medicine. Her work during the. I don't even know this war, do you?

[Amy]

No.

[Kat]

Crimean Crime. Crimin. Crimean War. Established the fundamental principles of infection control. In 1860, she founded the Nightingale Training School for nurses at St. Thomas Hospital in London. Elevating nurses from a non educated domestic role to respectable trained. That's the scientific profession.

[Amy]

That's the modern.

[Kat]

Officially, this is a profession, not just a woman taking care. Caring for you.

[Amy]

I was gonna say as you were reading this, like doing all this in like 1860, women's didn't have a lot of jobs. Jobs or rights or like say. So it's kind of crazy that she was able to do all this. Like it's crazy that people were listening to her even, you know. So there needs to be a movie on her.

[Kat]

If there's not, maybe there is.

[Amy]

Surely there is.

[Kat]

Or at least there's a documentary. Sure, there's a lot.

[Amy]

I want it to be a. I don't want a documentary on her. I want to watch like a. I want a true story. But it be a movie. Movie.

[Kat]

Yeah. I'm also thinking of all the nurses. I am Mercy Ships ambassador something. All the nurses aboard the Mercy ships, they're all volunteers. No way. They show up, they get a go aboard, and they are volunteering their time. They're not paid staff, so shout out to nurses. And sometimes when I post about them, I'll get comments from people that are like, oh my gosh, my mom was a nurse on Mercy Ships. Or my mom not even a nurse. Maybe they worked in the cafeteria. And why he's like, oh, small world. Because those ships are far away. They're not in our backyard. No. Yeah, they're like in Sierra Leone or something.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

So all nurses, those that have. Even when I think of my parents when they were in the hospital, like the nurses had some. They had to do some tough stuff.

[Amy]

And you spend more time with the nurses than you will a doctor ever.

[Kat]

Yeah. And they really have to care for you on such a deeper level. And then they have to go home to their normal lives after seeing everything that they see every day. So shout out. Subtle signs. You're actually spiraling. This is from Carrie Howard. She's a therapist for anxious overthinkers.

[Amy]

Cat, I'm gonna relate to everything you say and it's gonna remind me of stroller gate, so.

[Kat]

Okay, I'll just run through them real quick. Subtle signs you should look out for that might equal you are spiraling. You feel a sense of urgency to figure it out. Right now your thoughts are circling, not solving. You keep looking for reassurance, but it's not sticking. Your body feels tense, restless and on high alert. You're procrastinating, zoning out or avoiding something. You're thinking in absolutes, like always. Never. Worst case, you keep over analyzing and second guessing yourself and you're trying to think your way out instead of feeling what's there. Just subtle. Yeah, subtle signs. Like I think you're good on the zombie apocalypse. Like I don't think you need to wear glasses or worry about.

[Amy]

I think I can be. I'll always have a pair of glasses in reach. I can grab them. I don't have to keep them on my face.

[Kat]

Yeah, just your little go bag. But you don't need to worry about it.

[Amy]

And I'll put the bear spray in the go bag.

[Kat]

I want the bear spray on my nightstand.

[Amy]

Well, the go bag will be wherever I am.

[Kat]

I saw a funny video. Cat. Who's the funny girl on Instagram? Cat Ziegler. Cat. You know, she was rumored to be dating John Mayer for a little bit. She's got brown hair. She's so funny.

[Amy]

I don't know her.

[Kat]

Sickler.

[Amy]

Oh, oh, oh, yeah.

[Kat]

Cat.

[Amy]

Stickler.

[Kat]

Stickler. When I say stickler, she's so funny.

[Amy]

She has curly hair.

[Kat]

No, black.

[Amy]

Oh, okay. I heard you say curly.

[Kat]

Are you spiraling?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

So she did a funny video of she's got her cute little purse and how she's like, they say keep mace in your purse in case you get attacked. And then she starts digging through her bag and she pulls out like, her sunglasses and like gum and then like lipstick. And then she's like, hold one second. Like, she's talking to the attacker because she's digging in her bag for the mace. And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's such a good point of like, will we

[Amy]

even be able to find it?

[Kat]

Yes, like, we're gonna have the bear spray in our bag. But yeah, I think bear spray would be easier to find because it's like a bigger.

[Amy]

Surely it's like a can. Okay.

[Kat]

All right, let's close with a funny voicemail that we got about walking in on your parents just to put a bow on this week's episode and tie it back to last week's as well. We love hearing how y' all relate to stuff that we talk about. This is from Elda from Hutto, Texas. Here it is.

[Listener (Voicemail)]

Hi there, My name is Elda and I'm calling from Hutto, Texas. I wanted just to call because you all had me cracking up when Amy was sharing her little parents extracurricular activities. Basically. I have that same vision in my head that has been with me since I was 10. But the funny part for me is that I walked up to my parents room and the door was closed, but the door was not locked. Walked in, saw the same thing, same position, unfortunately, and was so shocked that I just turned around and walked away. And I can still see my brother coming towards me, going towards the door as well. And I did not say a word to him. So we share that terrifying sight. Childhood trauma. And we joke about it now, but anyway, it's just, I wanted to Share, because you are not alone. Amy. I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. Love you guys. Love hearing you all. Thank you for all the inspiration and amazing that you both are. I appreciate you all. Thank you. Have a great day. Bye. Bye.

[Kat]

Thank you. Elda. Yeah, I mean, she didn't even. She didn't even warn her brother.

[Amy]

Was she shocked, or is she. Like, if I had to see it, you have to see it.

[Kat]

Like, if I go down, you go down. We're having this memory together, this nightmare. I mean, I would. Maybe it'd be a little bit of both. I think at that age, though, she probably was just like. Like, I don't even know how to tell you what you're about to witness. Like.

[Amy]

Right. But I don't want to talk about it, so I'm just.

[Kat]

I'm just gonna keep walking. Like, that's your problem now. Like, I've.

[Amy]

What time of day was it that both the kids were going to the parents?

[Kat]

It could be morning. Morning, I would imagine Morning.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Kat]

Or night. I don't know.

[Amy]

This is something as a parent I really have to figure out now.

[Kat]

We know. Yeah, we're definitely not alone. And I love how she did it. She was like, thanks for all the inspiration. We're like green peas and.

[Amy]

And watches. Have you heard of them?

[Kat]

But still, she's legit. Like, she has letters after her name. What are your letters, by the way?

[Amy]

Lpc. M. H. Nope. Lpc.

[Kat]

Lpc. Are you forgetting Spiraling Cat's a licensed therapist? You can do it. Lpc.

[Amy]

Mhsp.

[Kat]

Okay. Lpc. Mhsp.

[Amy]

[Kat]

She's legit though. Trust me. She went to Vanderbilt.

[Amy]

Trust me, I know what my letters are.

[Kat]

Well, also, yeah. I mean you're. I've seen, I've seen your office. You're legit. You have actual.

I have a job. Yeah. Yeah.

[Kat]

So wherever you are, whatever you're doing today, we hope you have the day

[Amy]

you need to have. Bye. Bye.

[Kat]
