Hey, it's Alec Baldwin. This season on my podcast, here's the Thing, I speak with musician, photographer, and philanthropist Julian Lennon. One of the really important things that happened to me with photography was I would have people write to me, people that couldn't financially afford to travel the world. And what they had all said to me is that you bring these stories to us, you bring the truth, you bring cultures that we would never necessarily know anything about.

Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. It's listener Q and A time where Morgan and a show member answer almost all your questions. It's time for listener Q and A. We're answering some listener questions, starting with Shout Becky is loving the Amy all the Time segments, which are so fun.
Amy Brown
Oh, gosh. Okay, good. Thank you, Becky.
Alec Baldwin
Love Amy and Morgan on Best Bits. My fave duo, Kelsey in Florida, Katie from Austin. Love y'all both so much. And then another one. Just love you powerful ladies. Lots of good energy coming into listener Q and A today.
Amy Brown
Yeah, I appreciate that. And a lot of women, they're lifting up women, which is good because believe it or not, some women still want to just take other women down.
Alec Baldwin
That is true. They absolutely do. So that's why we're starting with good energy to go into all of these. All right, Sarah, in Tennessee, what is your latest favorite toast recipe?
Amy Brown
Oh, I am very much into. It's Ezekiel bread. Just had it yesterday. I'm gonna have it again today. This is my OG recipe, but I added a little twist. So toast the Ezekiel bread, put ghee on it, and then I've been putting cream cheese on top of that and then sea salt. So it used to just be the ghee and the sea salt. That's my OG recipe. And I'll either. Sometimes I add something saltier, sometimes I add something sweet. Even if I add something sweet like jelly, I still put the sea salt on top. But cream cheese kick lately.
Alec Baldwin
Any particular cream cheese or just like plain cream cheese?
Amy Brown
Lane. It varies if I have because the soup recipe calls for just normal cream cheese. So sometimes I have that in my. Because I've been obsessed with the soup. But also, I don't even know how to say this brand. There's a. Like a cashew version. I'm looking it up like, as I say this. So hold on. It's called Moos M I Y O K O Creamery and it's a cashew cream cheese. So it's either.
Alec Baldwin
Okay. I've been wanting to look into them. You like them?
Amy Brown
Yeah, I mean, I've only gotten that cream cheese. I. I don't know what their other products are like, but that cream cheese is really good. If you can't have dairy. Dairy doesn't really impact me as much, but I can't remember why I originally bought. I think maybe they were out of Philadelphia cream cheese, because that's the og that's where it's at. That's the good stuff. And I ended up buying that. But it was quite tasty, so.
Alec Baldwin
Well, you are the one who introduced me to cashew queso, so I didn't know if this was also in that same.
Amy Brown
It is in that vein. Like, it's a cashew based cheese that doesn't have any other weird ingredients. Like sometimes there's added whatnot. But I feel like everything on the back of this I could read.
Alec Baldwin
We love that. Okay. What is your favorite thing you've discovered about yourself since divorce McKinsey in Nashville?
Amy Brown
That I'm capable. I think that I spent a lot of time just not thinking I could do something or had the capacity to do it. And I mean that. That ranges from like small little things around the house to. I've talked about finances. I deferred that early on in my marriage. I was like, oh, I'm, I don't deal with money. So he did it all. And now, you know, I'm a responsible person with my money and that just gives, gives me agency over, you know, my own life. I didn't have a choice. I loved ignoring it because it just wasn't my favorite thing. But now I'm very empowered by that knowledge. And, and that's not about amount or anything like that. It's just like knowing what's coming in and what is going out and how you're spending it. That's been very empowering. You know, that I'm capable of just doing other things. I think that they did all like plays off of each other. Like once you realize you're capable of this, then you try something else and you try something else and it's a domino effect. So that's been like the coolest part of even knowing that I'm capable of co parenting in a healthy way. I'm capable of good communication and being dedicated to that. I'm, you know, which sometimes we're not great at all, but we're capable of circling back and asking for forgiveness if we need to and wanting a fresh start. So the capable is all over the place. But that I think is the big word.
Alec Baldwin
Oh, that's a good word. I feel like you've definitely had that come into just watching you grow in the last few years. I do feel like that's such a big word that you've used. What does your morning routine look like with this job and the kids? Katie in Georgia?
Amy Brown
Well, I have the kids every other week now. So I mean it doesn't really change that much because I always, ever since we got the kids, I've always left before they do. So nothing. My mornings are the same with the kids, whether they're here or not. And they're, it's helpful now that they're older and they can take care of themselves in a different way. I mean, Ben was at the house a lot, but when he would travel, we used to have someone get to the house at like 4:30 in the morning. Thankfully we don't have to do that anymore because they're able to. Yeah. Do their own thing. So I would say for me though, like, I wake up and I like to, I've Started this year in 2025 because I'm pausing Botox for a little while just to see. I mean, I don't know, I may get it again, but I just wanted to get back to what's my baseline. And so I've started face fitness. So I've been waking up in the morning first thing doing about a 10 minute face fitness routine which isn't just for the on your face. Like I relax my chest muscles, open my lymph nodes, massage my shoulder, my neck, my scalp and then my face. It's all related and so I'm learning a lot. So my, my morning routine in 2025 is that which has been very relaxing because it helps relax my shoulder. If I slept wrong in any way, it sort of releases that and it's like my own little 10 minute self care meditation moment. Like I try to treat it as that, like a.
Alec Baldwin
Okay, I think I might need this from you.
Amy Brown
Yes, I'll send you. I just find videos on YouTube. Different people have 10 minute morning routines up and I sort of bounce around. I'm sure it'd be good for me to stay consistent with one person, but I still feel like I'm trying to educate myself and learn and I'll learn what works best for me. But one thing that is a huge takeaway for your posture, your face. And like what causes your skin to pull down has to do with your neck and your scalp and your like the base of your scalp head, like where your skull meets your neck and then the two muscles on the left and the right side. I. It starts with a P. I can't remember exactly what it's called, but it's a muscle that starts with a P. It's really big. If you kind of just go like down from your masseter your jaw, like the back part of your jaw next to your.
Alec Baldwin
I know which muscles you're talking about because you can feel them. When you like FL your neck, you.
Amy Brown
Can turn one which way and then if you just start to massage that and if you start to do it lightly, it doesn't have to be too hard and you can get a little bit more aggressive and deeper if you want to. But if that's painful, you need, that means you need to keep massaging it and try to get to where it becomes like unstuck from your neck and like our scalp. I didn't realize how important that was too in helping us feel relaxed and having good posture. And there so many videos that I see, they're like if your scalp is like Kind of glued to your head. You need to massage that out because you need to release the muscle, which, if you think about it, Botox is relaxing the muscle.
Alec Baldwin
Yeah.
Amy Brown
Paralyzing it. And so this is. I'm sort of creating a more relaxed vibe myself. I don't know, it's just sort of a year of less. Like less is more. And trying to figure out. I think that, you know, in my 30s, when I discovered Botox, I didn't do it a ton. A ton. But then my late, late 30s to early 40s, I started to up it more and I just kind of hit a season where I'm like, wait a second, I don't want to keep doing things. And then when I'm 50, 60, there being a reverse effect. And again, I'm not anti it. I think it is great. I actually am sad. I miss it. But I'm also trying to lean into some of my wrinkles and be grateful for them, but not too grateful because I want to relax them so I still spend time with them. And I'm like, thank you, forehead wrinkles. I'm. You're awesome. But I'm also going to massage you out and try to get you to stop, be. Stop creating lines. And it is, it's possible. I really, I had no idea this was a thing.
Alec Baldwin
But, you know, something I learned from my amazing dermatologist back home in Kansas that I had never. Nobody had ever told me about, is that when you're. You're applying products, one, it should be also applied to your neck. And also you should be doing it upwards from your neck. Doing it downwards is also causing that. So if you're young, like you're in your early 20s and you're starting to do this, apply upward, not downward.
Amy Brown
Also, I. With the limbs. Yes, I. The center of your neck, like right in the middle. Like if you go right to the middle of your, between your collarbones, that part up to your chin up. But then when you get over by your ears, if it's over anywhere by your ears, you want to gently go down. But a lot of your product that you're applying to that front part. Yes, neck and chest go up and then face, you can go up. But if you're by your ears, always try to go down because that's where your limbs release. And so fluid or anything in there. If you've opened up your limbs, which is just gentle movements, you can Google how to do it. It's very easy. Over like your chest, your underarm area, by your collarbone. And then if you're by your ears, though. You want to go down because you want that fluid to go down. Have you ever noticed, like, when you're. I was talking about this with my dermatologist the other day. He was on my podcast this week, and he was like, you know when you're not feeling well, if your sinuses, your limbs get swollen? Like, you're like, oh, why is my face swollen? My nose is swollen, My neck is swollen. And that's because it's inflamed, and those, like, fluid is rushing there to help, like, heal. But if you want to release or some of that fluid, you can Google how to open up your limbs and give yourself an a little lymphatic drainage massage, which there's expertise, which is what we've talked about.
Alec Baldwin
That's what helped me a lot. That's what helped you.
Amy Brown
But there's ways. Of course, seeing a professional is probably ideal because there's ways you can do it wrong. But if you want to really dig into it, there are tutorials. And then that way, if you need to give yourself little mini lymphatic massages at home every day, you can. And it'll help release that fluid, even around, you know, the bags under your eyes. But I'll watch my nose, like, go down. I wake up, and my nose seems just more inflamed for some reason. I don't know if it's something that I ate, probably too much sea salt on my. My toast, but I'm not going to give that up anytime soon. But I'll do little exercises to release it, and you can see it happen. And it's kind of crazy, like, if you just do your left side and then you go over and do your right side, sort of like gua sha, if you've ever done that. And some of the fluid will come back. It's a temporary thing, but that's why if you do these exercises daily, it will help you.
Alec Baldwin
Oh, see, this is good. This is part of Amy's morning routine. And now we're all going to be watching on YouTube trying to figure out how to do this.
Amy Brown
Some videos that I watch are from, like, I don't know where they live. Japan, Korea, China, I'm not sure, other languages. And I just follow along and act like I know what they're saying.
Alec Baldwin
But there's a reason their skin looks so amazing. Okay, we trust them. I trust them explicitly with how amazing they look. Okay, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

Jen from Georgia I keep hearing over.
Amy Brown
And over the skinny jeans are back.
Alec Baldwin
You know what I've learned about jeans, Amy, is that I am just gonna wear what feels good on me and I'm just, I can't keep up anymore. Right?
Amy Brown
And I think that that is exactly what we should all just do. Just wear what you like and do what feels best. I really personally enjoying like a just a straight leg jean. I still wear a lot of the same jeans that I've been wearing the last few years or even just flared out at the bottom like they're high waisted but then they flare out at the bottom and they're sort of short so it's a raw hem which you can even cut like I've cut some jeans to make them intentionally short so they're. They're just a little bit above my ankle. But you can still wear those with heels. You can wear them with boots. You can wear them with Birkenstocks and they work so. So you're sort of like. It's like a flare. High water.
Alec Baldwin
Yeah, in a way. No, I love those. Those are my favorite too. I like any of them that honestly have that raw cut at the bottom. Especially as a short girly. I feel like it just fits better sometimes the like finished edges just make me look like a teen child.
Amy Brown
Yeah. But my go to Jean brands I love Abercrombie always has great ones at a really good price point. Levi's. I've seen some Levi's lately that. That have been a great price point that are really cute. A Goldie, it's a little bit higher price point. But quality like you'll have them for years and you can wear them over and over. But those are my go to Frame occasionally. But that is just sometimes they're too expensive. If you can find them on sale. That's what I like to do with Frame.
Alec Baldwin
That's how one of my favorite brands is Pistola.
Amy Brown
Yes.
Alec Baldwin
That's very amazing. And they always often have a lot of sales. The only thing that kind of sucks about them is that you can't. They're all of their stuff's very individual. So if you find them in a store somewhere, you may not find them online that same way. So it is cool.
Amy Brown
But it's also hard and so something for getting a discount. This doesn't work all the time, but give it a try. If you are shopping for something, go ahead and put it. Like if you have an account at a certain place, you can go ahead and sign up and get an account to get the discount whatnot. Or just put it in your cart somehow. They need to have your email address. Put things in your car and leave it there. And then sometimes you'll get an email that'll be like hey, I noticed you have these jeans in your car. Here's a 20 discount. You're like sweet. Thanks.
Alec Baldwin
Isn't that awesome? But also kind of creepy at the same time where they are realizing that you had the car open.
Amy Brown
Yeah, totally. I'll take it.
Alec Baldwin
Okay. So that's great. Jeans. Does your dog still go with the kids to their dads or do you have her full time? Leah in Pennsylvania.
Amy Brown
I have her full time now. She stopped going back and forth. She has a lot of anxiety and I think there's more happening Here at my house during the day, because I don't work at the office until 5pm like, like Ben goes into work and he's gone, you know, from eight to five or whatever as to where I'm home after the show and so I can give her more attention. She was just at his house. It was more difficult for her to have help. Like he was having to go home at lunch, which I know a lot of people have to do that, but it just wasn't good for her. And I think even the back and forth was stressing her out more. And so sometimes she'll still go there if it's for the weekend. Like, she'll go Friday through Sunday and then come back with me during the week. Or if Stevenson really, you know, is missing her. And, like, please, I really want her to sleep with me. We'll figure that out. And I'll go by there and pick her up, like, after work or something and bring her back home for the day, and then she can go back at night. We try to, you know, be flexible with it. But as for the back and forth, like the kids, that's what we were doing is almost like shared custody of the kids and shared custody of the dog. And now she's just with me because we were trying to figure out getting her anxiety under control, and obviously the back and forth was not helping.
Alec Baldwin
So do you feel like she's better now? Doing a little bit better, at least without so much back and forth better?
Amy Brown
Right now she's sitting right by me. Have you heard her this whole time? Normally she's will bark or be loud, and she's just calmly laying with me. I mean, she's like, she. She has some trauma. She has attachment disorder, for sure. She's a rescue. And I've just sort of. We've tried to get her a lot of help, and I've even done when my. I was doing a neurofeedback episode with my brain therapist, and she has this whole portable kit that she'll bring over. And so since she was coming over to do the podcast, she went ahead and brought the portable kit instead of me going to her. And so she said, you know, I do dogs. And I was like, shut up. And she was like, yeah. And she's like, let's just do it for fun. And so she set. She put the little electrodes on Cara's brain. I was like, oh, my gosh, this feels like crazy dog lady. But apparently some people swear by it. I only did it that one time because she brought it over for the podcast. So it wasn't. I'm not going to continue doing it, but if you have access to that or resources. I know that sounds crazy, but she said that the neurofeedback can even help dogs.
Alec Baldwin
I would believe that. I mean, they. They have little brains just like ours. They just kind of operate differently.
Amy Brown
Yeah. So we'll see. Her attachment issues is attached to me.
Alec Baldwin
Well, at least. At least she's attached to. That's a good attachment.
Amy Brown
Yeah, but it's a problem. She's like, oh, yeah, what if you never come back to get me? So I'm gonna go ahead and eat everything in the house that's important to you.
Alec Baldwin
You know, I have that kind of trauma, too. I get it. Do you still have a microwave, Becca from Wake Forest, North Carolina?
Amy Brown
I. Yeah, I have one now. You know, I didn't for years. You know, my boyfriend doesn't have a microwave.
Alec Baldwin
What?
Amy Brown
Yeah, no, he doesn't have a microwave, and nor will he get one. He does not like them at all whatsoever. But I. I lived that way.
Alec Baldwin
That feels like that was kind of faded in a way.
Amy Brown
My microwave stuff or just that in general? That thinking in general?
Alec Baldwin
Yeah, just that, like, you for a long time didn't have one. You have one now, but, like, just that you didn't. And that he doesn't. That just feels faded. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels like. Yeah.
Amy Brown
Oh, I thought you meant, like, the thought of that is faded, like.
Alec Baldwin
No, no, no. Fate.
Amy Brown
Like with the T. Yeah, it is interesting. But I still use a microwave now, but maybe I'll go back. I don't know. He has influenced me in other ways as well. Like things that I used to do where I had to, like, ditch it for a little while, and now I'm like, okay, yeah, you're right. I know that that's better for my body. So, fine, I'll bring it back.
Alec Baldwin
We love it. Hey, he's. He's making you healthy. It's good. This is good. All right, last one. Is there any TV series? We talked about TV series and some reviews on part one, if you want to check that out. But is there any TV series? You've been so into that nothing distracted you. Katie from Austin.
Amy Brown
I mean, we talked about that proposed Presumed Innocent. I was going to say proposed Presumed Innocent. I mean, but that was probably six episodes, if I remember. Six or seven. And so, gosh, that I was very glued to that. It's been a minute since. I mean, lioness feel pretty strongly about that one.
Alec Baldwin
I think she's referring to the ones that you actually will sit and watch versus move around on your computer.
Amy Brown
Yeah, Presumed Innocent, I watched that laying down. And Lioness, I watched mostly laying down.
Alec Baldwin
Okay. So it's like the mostly caveat in there.
Amy Brown
Mostly I can't always guarantee, but Presumed Innocent I was over. And yeah, I was glued to that. Like, if I missed a detail of that one, I was going back.
Alec Baldwin
Okay.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Alec Baldwin
Oh, this is good. All right, Amy, well, thanks for joining me. I have more, but honestly, we just had fun talking about other random things, so it worked out. Out. But thanks for coming on and doing this with me, especially over our craziness of zoom.
Amy Brown
I know. I just hope you feel better. I know you're in pain. So, yes, we can call it a day and maybe save some of the questions for next time.
Alec Baldwin
Yes, I will. And they. I always get a lot with you, so I'm sure they'll. They'll put them back in. So. But thank you for being on here and thanks for. For doing this in such a weird way for the weekend, but I know the listeners will appreciate it.
