Chris:

Welcome back to the Whiskey Wisdom Podcast everybody.

2

:

I'm your co-host, Chris Kellum,

and I'm with Tyler, y'all.

3

:

And this week we have our special guest,

4

:

Amanda: Amanda Wilcox.

5

:

Chris: That name sounds so familiar.

6

:

Tyler: Probably.

7

:

Definitely have seen her on Instagram

because a lot of our friends and

8

:

people we've brought on the podcast

usually share a lot of her stuff.

9

:

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

10

:

Chris: I was like, there's

many ways it could be familiar.

11

:

I just assumed probably Instagram.

12

:

Okay.

13

:

That's where like half my life has lived.

14

:

Me too.

15

:

So, as I mentioned earlier, I am

the one who's horrible at research.

16

:

So tell me a little bit about yourself.

17

:

Amanda: Alright, so I'm a nurse.

18

:

Okay.

19

:

My Instagram handle is the uncensored

nurse, and I just thought it sounded

20

:

cute, but it turns out that that is

who i's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

21

:

Mm-hmm.

22

:

I moved to Wilmington

in:

23

:

Mm-hmm.

24

:

I like to say that I fled my

communist state and the snow.

25

:

It was terrible.

26

:

New York.

27

:

Yep.

28

:

Upstate New York.

29

:

Okay.

30

:

So we, we were at a place where

I had left my nursing career.

31

:

My husband was sort of working remotely.

32

:

My daughter wasn't in kindergarten yet.

33

:

She was in preschool, but she was

kicked outta preschool because we

34

:

both weren't essential workers.

35

:

Ah.

36

:

So we were all home staring at our walls.

37

:

And we moved to Wilmington.

38

:

We were like my husband's best friend

from high school has lived here forever,

39

:

so we've always come, we've come, been

coming down here for like 10 years.

40

:

Yeah, yeah.

41

:

So we were like, all right,

we're just gonna bounce.

42

:

We're mo we called him up,

we're like, we're on our way.

43

:

We'll be there in 12 hours.

44

:

He was like, are you really coming?

45

:

We're like, yeah, we're

gonna move there too.

46

:

So we, we drove down, we bought a

house, sold our house all within

47

:

like a three hour time span.

48

:

TC: Oh, wow.

49

:

And I was

50

:

Amanda: like, all right, we're

moving to Wilmington now.

51

:

Here, here we are.

52

:

That's dope.

53

:

And so I had a, I feel like I lived a lot

of my life online in the beginning because

54

:

it was during Covid, everything was weird.

55

:

Yeah, right.

56

:

Whatever.

57

:

So, I started, I really started

building on Facebook beforehand.

58

:

And a couple years ago I was

like, I'm gonna really dig

59

:

into this Instagram thing.

60

:

I think I could make it happen.

61

:

And I grew to like 200,000

followers in a, like six weeks.

62

:

Wow.

63

:

I had a post go viral.

64

:

It was me looking at sourdough bread.

65

:

Ironically enough

66

:

Tyler: for the listeners, we

talked a lot about sourdough

67

:

before we started the podcast,

68

:

Amanda: so, I was like, all right, well

I guess this is where my audience is.

69

:

So I've been digging in on Instagram.

70

:

I do education and marketing

for an online wellness company.

71

:

That's my main gig.

72

:

And we also are, we don't like to be

bored, so we also have a bunch of real

73

:

estate rental properties and Airbnbs, and

I'm roped into doing that with my husband

74

:

'cause we gotta do everything together.

75

:

Yep.

76

:

So, sounds right.

77

:

That's, that's pretty much it right now.

78

:

Okay.

79

:

Chris: So as the uncensored nurse,

do you cuss or is it just Oh,

80

:

Amanda: yeah.

81

:

Oh yeah.

82

:

I, I have to really pull it in.

83

:

Okay.

84

:

I'm like, hmm.

85

:

Less f-bombs today is on

a regular basis, but yeah.

86

:

Okay.

87

:

Yeah, swear.

88

:

And I think too, the, the

big thing is, I swear words.

89

:

I try to be more professional,

but it's my light.

90

:

I don't know.

91

:

Yeah.

92

:

My mom is always like, your favorite

word has always been the F word.

93

:

Ever since you were little.

94

:

It came from me.

95

:

Sorry.

96

:

Chris: So I was joking with

people, well, not really joking.

97

:

We had a whole deep conversation

the other day about the difference

98

:

between like a swear word and a curse.

99

:

Mm.

100

:

And 'cause me, I just say

fuck and shit all the time.

101

:

Amanda: Same.

102

:

Chris: And everyone's like,

oh, that's a bad word.

103

:

And I'm like, I'm just using

it as like an adjective.

104

:

Mm-hmm.

105

:

Versus when you curse somebody,

you're actually using it.

106

:

Right.

107

:

So like when I, when I say arse, I'm like,

that's really the same thing as an ass.

108

:

Or when someone's like, crap, I'm

like, I know what you wanted to say.

109

:

Yeah.

110

:

It's the same thing.

111

:

Amanda: Same thing.

112

:

It's like son of a biscuit.

113

:

I know what you're trying to not do.

114

:

I try to swear less because

I have little ears at home.

115

:

Okay.

116

:

And sh and everyone's always like, oh, I

said a swear in front of your daughter.

117

:

I'm like, ah, she's heard worse for me.

118

:

Right.

119

:

Like, it's fine.

120

:

But I did hear that people

who swear are smarter.

121

:

I saw, I don't know where I saw

that study, but I saw it somewhere.

122

:

Oh.

123

:

So we're just smart.

124

:

I'm down for it

125

:

Chris: All I can think of like

when people like don't cuss

126

:

is those orbit commercials.

127

:

Uh, yeah.

128

:

You land liquor.

129

:

I wish there's a point we'll get to

on editing the podcast where it'll

130

:

just have like these random edits

of like when Tyler gets to it and

131

:

it'll just drop in like clicks.

132

:

Amanda: Yeah.

133

:

Chris: One day, one of these days, not,

134

:

Tyler: not

135

:

Chris: today,

136

:

Tyler: not anytime soon, but one

of these days I tried, I tried

137

:

Amanda: and really, so what ended

up happening with the Uncensored

138

:

nurse was I was, and it started on

Facebook and then I was like, I'm

139

:

gonna go over an Instagram too.

140

:

I'll go fish in this pond.

141

:

This looks fun.

142

:

And a lot younger people are on Instagram.

143

:

I got, most of my clientele on

Facebook are like, could be my grandma.

144

:

TC: Yeah.

145

:

Type of age.

146

:

That sounds great.

147

:

Which

148

:

Amanda: is fine.

149

:

I'm like, y'all need

medical information too.

150

:

It's fine.

151

:

But I was never thrown in Facebook

jail or Instagram jail for

152

:

anything that I talk about ever.

153

:

I just kept getting more eyeballs

on my account and I'm like.

154

:

Apparently I can do whatever I want.

155

:

I'm gonna run with it.

156

:

Tyler: So you're probably one of the

very few about what you're very outspoken

157

:

about that did not get thrown in.

158

:

Uh,

159

:

Amanda: I, so I did have a

Facebook jail sentence once and

160

:

it like connected to Instagram.

161

:

And it was because in 2021 I posted

a picture of Hunter Biden in his

162

:

underwear with a scarf on that said,

my dad said, you can't come out and

163

:

play unless you got your vaccine,

164

:

Tyler: and that's what

you got in trouble for.

165

:

Amanda: And that's what

I got in trouble for.

166

:

Of all the things I was like.

167

:

It was this past summer,

so I posted it in:

168

:

Yeah.

169

:

Yeah.

170

:

And it didn't catch catch up

until this summer and they're

171

:

like, you can't go live.

172

:

And I'm like, I don't.

173

:

Anyway.

174

:

So

175

:

it's like when you ground your

kid and it's something that

176

:

they don't even care about, I'm

like, I don't go live anyway, so

177

:

Chris: thanks.

178

:

You gotta stay in your room.

179

:

Cool.

180

:

I didn't want to come out.

181

:

Yeah.

182

:

I wanted to be here.

183

:

Yeah.

184

:

No.

185

:

Tyler: Well, I do have a question

from your new friendly who wanted

186

:

me to ask questions to you too.

187

:

'cause I guess you guys didn't talk

long enough at the coffee shop.

188

:

Amanda: We jittered ourselves out of Ibis.

189

:

We were like, drank so much caffeine.

190

:

I'm like, we need to eat something.

191

:

I

192

:

Chris: have food there.

193

:

Amanda: I know.

194

:

We just, that's were di we just

didn't, we were just drinking

195

:

coffee and talking conspiracy

theories and it just never ended.

196

:

Tyler: But what her question was,

is what originally opened your eyes

197

:

to the world of functional medicine?

198

:

Amanda: So it was kind of a long process.

199

:

Mm-hmm.

200

:

But so I'm a nurse and I have been

trained, I know your wife's a nurse too.

201

:

Yeah.

202

:

And we're trained in a very specific way.

203

:

Mm-hmm.

204

:

And I never looked at things from

a functional standpoint beforehand

205

:

because I was basically indoctrinated

into this medical system.

206

:

Right.

207

:

My mom's a nurse, she's now a nurse

practitioner, but she went to nursing

208

:

school when I was in kindergarten.

209

:

Mm-hmm.

210

:

So I've always been in the

healthcare field my whole life.

211

:

And I remember it was

:

212

:

My daughter was sick all the

time, like had a fever, couldn't

213

:

go to daycare every other week.

214

:

And I was like, what is going on?

215

:

Like, I'm a nurse, why can't I

figure out why my kid is sick?

216

:

And I, I was also having

some health problems.

217

:

I was having what I thought was anxiety.

218

:

TC: Mm-hmm.

219

:

Amanda: I was waking up with like,

you know when you wake up and you're

220

:

late and you're like, oh no, I'm late.

221

:

Yeah.

222

:

Oh.

223

:

And that like panic in your chest.

224

:

So I, that's the only

thing I can describe it to.

225

:

And I'm like, this must

be what anxiety is.

226

:

Okay.

227

:

Okay.

228

:

I've never had anxiety, but

this must be what it is.

229

:

So I find this functional doctor that one

of my friends from high school had gone

230

:

to, and I thought he was a chiropractor.

231

:

TC: Mm-hmm.

232

:

He

233

:

Amanda: is a chiropractor, but

that's not what, what Yeah.

234

:

People go to see him for,

he will adjust your back.

235

:

But and this was up in New York and my

best friend went there because she was

236

:

having some back pain and he, she left

with a stage one kidney failure diagnosis.

237

:

Oh wow.

238

:

And he basically was like, you

can go on dialysis eventually.

239

:

Or do this protocol.

240

:

And she was like, I am 32 years old.

241

:

Like we are not, yeah.

242

:

I'm not doing dialysis.

243

:

We are not going down this road.

244

:

So I went to go see this doctor.

245

:

'cause I'm like, well you saw him

so I guess I'll go see him too.

246

:

Yeah.

247

:

So I, they he it's called

nutritional response testing.

248

:

TC: Mm-hmm.

249

:

And

250

:

Amanda: it's very, all of my

nursing colleagues call it

251

:

like magic arm doctor stuff.

252

:

'cause it's weird.

253

:

They use your autonomic nervous

system and it's like a feedback loop.

254

:

Mm-hmm.

255

:

So they can tell what's

wrong with you based on that.

256

:

TC: Yeah.

257

:

Amanda: So I go there and he's like,

you have parasites and they're in their

258

:

heart and they're on your adrenal glands

and also your adrenal glands don't work.

259

:

And I'm like, oh wow.

260

:

I need those.

261

:

TC: Yeah.

262

:

Where your

263

:

Tyler: adrenal, that's important.

264

:

Amanda: So your adrenal glands help

with all of you like burnout and

265

:

your energy and that type of stuff.

266

:

So when, when you're like

267

:

TC: your adrenaline.

268

:

Amanda: So you get what's called,

it's not a technical diagnosis,

269

:

but people call it adrenal fatigue.

270

:

And it's basically your adrenal glands

are tired 'cause you've been burning the

271

:

candle on both ends, working overnight

shifts, which is what I was doing.

272

:

Drinking too much caffeine, not

relaxing, not taking care of yourself.

273

:

Okay.

274

:

So then that causes your cortisol

levels to go super sky high because

275

:

your cortisol system is like, hi,

uh, you're not working, so we're

276

:

gonna give you extra over here.

277

:

And I think now I'm in a point

where my cortisol was like,

278

:

I can't help you anymore.

279

:

You're, my cortisol levels

are super low right now.

280

:

So I'm like, okay, I've done broke it.

281

:

So I go to see this doctor and

he gave me answers to everything

282

:

that a regular doctor never would.

283

:

He also sat in the office

with me for 45 minutes after.

284

:

He was like, okay, I went

through all your stuff.

285

:

Here's all your paperwork,

here's your protocol.

286

:

What do you, what questions do you have?

287

:

What?

288

:

And I was like, what is this?

289

:

Who is this guy?

290

:

He just has all this time to hang out

with me and ask, answer all my questions.

291

:

Like, you go to a regular doctor and

you're, they're like, hi, you're alive.

292

:

Okay, here's a, here's an antibiotic

prescription, here's a prescription.

293

:

So that was the first real eye,

eye-opening piece for me was I was

294

:

like, okay, this actually worked

and his protocols worked right.

295

:

He told me what to do and I am a

student and a good, I'm very coachable.

296

:

And I was like, okay.

297

:

He said, I had to get rid of all

of the toxic products in my house

298

:

and I, everything, here's me.

299

:

I'm like, I don't do drugs.

300

:

Like, what is, what are you talking about?

301

:

And he was like all your

cleaners like, oh, hmm.

302

:

Weird.

303

:

I'm like, but I bought

'em at the grocery store.

304

:

Like they must be.

305

:

Fine.

306

:

They sell 'em at the store.

307

:

He's like, Nope, they're terrible for you.

308

:

I'm like, okay.

309

:

So then I started down that rabbit

hole, but I switched out all my

310

:

cleaners and in within 30 days, my

daughter's symptoms were better.

311

:

Tyler: Oh, wow.

312

:

Amanda: So that was, that was

the functional medicine piece.

313

:

And I had already had a lot of time

where I had been stewing over the

314

:

medical system and its brokenness anyway.

315

:

Mm-hmm.

316

:

So this wa was a path

that made sense to me.

317

:

'cause I had already, I was just

telling the story the other day.

318

:

I used to do home infusion and I had

a patient who opened my eyes to the

319

:

series called The Truth About Cancer.

320

:

Mm-hmm.

321

:

So I watched that, it was a YouTube

series back in probably:

322

:

2011.

323

:

Oh gee.

324

:

Like really a lot, a long time ago.

325

:

And I was like, oh.

326

:

I think I'm killing

people with this chemo.

327

:

TC: Mm-hmm.

328

:

Amanda: This is a problem.

329

:

But then I had to dissociate

because that was my job.

330

:

I was like, well, I can't

go get a new job today.

331

:

'cause I had an epiphany.

332

:

So I knew at that point in like 2012

ish that I needed out of nursing.

333

:

Mm-hmm.

334

:

And I, so I was already kind of

not trusting and digging things up

335

:

and looking, and then I found this

whole functional world and I was

336

:

like, oh, this makes way more sense.

337

:

Yeah.

338

:

Common sense makes sense with your body.

339

:

Mm-hmm.

340

:

Instead of like, let's just put

341

:

Tyler: other things in here.

342

:

Amanda: Chemicals and see what happens.

343

:

I

344

:

Chris: just laugh because like,

we fall, we're full circle.

345

:

Everyone's like functional medicine.

346

:

I'm like, isn't it the same

stuff that like the OG natives

347

:

were like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

348

:

We just eat the food

from where we're from.

349

:

Yeah.

350

:

You know, don't drink too much

if you're gonna smoke dope.

351

:

You know, make sure it's homegrown.

352

:

Amanda: Yeah.

353

:

Like don't, don't get it.

354

:

You know, maybe laced with

something like, don't.

355

:

Have chemicals like the whole,

we're coming full circle.

356

:

Yes.

357

:

Back to, and it's what makes sense.

358

:

But I think too, a lot of people don't

know what's, like, people don't know

359

:

that bleach is terrible for your lungs.

360

:

From a what makes sense standpoint.

361

:

You're like, it hurts me when I breathe.

362

:

Right.

363

:

Chris: Yeah.

364

:

It must be bad,

365

:

Amanda: but everybody's conditioned that

you gotta use bleach to clean your house.

366

:

Yeah.

367

:

Or it's not sanitary.

368

:

It's not sanitized.

369

:

It's, and I, I lived that way before.

370

:

You know what's funny too?

371

:

When I got rid of all my cleaners

and I switched 'em all out, I had

372

:

'em in a big box in my basement.

373

:

'cause I didn't know what to do with 'em.

374

:

Mm-hmm.

375

:

TC: Mm-hmm.

376

:

Amanda: The garbage

people wouldn't take it?

377

:

No.

378

:

Chris: Oh really?

379

:

Amanda: Because they said

it was hazardous waste.

380

:

Chris: You can't put 'em all together.

381

:

Split up.

382

:

I was like,

383

:

Amanda: I clean my house with this stuff.

384

:

Whatcha talking about hazardous waste?

385

:

I had to like have it like removed,

disposed of by like a team,

386

:

Chris: because once they start mixing

then the chemicals get way worse.

387

:

Amanda: Yeah.

388

:

Yeah.

389

:

Chris: I found out about bleach, what

me and my wife were living together

390

:

and like, we had some reason there was

like mold in like our spare bathroom.

391

:

And I, every time we'd be like,

oh, use some bleach and clean it

392

:

and it would just keep coming back.

393

:

Mm-hmm.

394

:

And I had to do research and they're like,

yeah, bleach just like gets the dirt off.

395

:

But like the mold is still there.

396

:

The mold is still there.

397

:

Still, still you have to use, I

can't remember what we were using.

398

:

Seems like vinegar.

399

:

Amanda: Vinegar does work.

400

:

Chris: Yeah.

401

:

Amanda: And a lot of people switch

from when they realize like, oh,

402

:

we're not gonna clean with chemicals,

we're gonna clean with vinegar.

403

:

And I'm like, I don't want my

house smelling like a pickle vine.

404

:

Chris: Yep.

405

:

Amanda: I can't, it's, it's so gross.

406

:

I don't like it.

407

:

Chris: Me either.

408

:

So your windows.

409

:

Amanda: Yeah, I, I know, but then

everything smells like a pickle.

410

:

I just can't get over it.

411

:

I'm like, I'm not a pickle

cleaner there to be a way.

412

:

My,

413

:

Tyler: my mom tried to have us do that

for a while too, and I was like, I get it.

414

:

I know this is probably the best way, like

health wise, I just can't get over it.

415

:

So it gives me the next one in between.

416

:

Well, yes, and that's where

417

:

Amanda: I live.

418

:

I live in the balance

of like, normal life.

419

:

Like I'm try, I'm

420

:

Chris: So what do you use?

421

:

Amanda: Well, I use products from the

wellness store, which is my full-time job.

422

:

Chris: Mm-hmm.

423

:

Amanda: It's on the computer.

424

:

Chris: Well, the way you said

it, I was like, oh, it's a

425

:

storefront here in Wilmington.

426

:

It's

427

:

Amanda: it's an online wellness

store, and I can give you the details.

428

:

It's where I buy all my stuff from.

429

:

But they, they were greener,

cleaner, healthier environmentally

430

:

conscious back before it was cool.

431

:

Oh,

432

:

TC: cool.

433

:

Mm-hmm.

434

:

And

435

:

Amanda: all their stuff works super well,

and it smelled like, it smells nice.

436

:

Yeah.

437

:

Like, Ooh, it smells like vanilla.

438

:

Yeah.

439

:

Or lavender.

440

:

I

441

:

Chris: mean, we're

trying to get away like.

442

:

Where, where those crunchy people

we're not using Target anymore.

443

:

Yeah, me too.

444

:

And my wife was like, where am I

supposed to get all my cleaning supplies?

445

:

The money?

446

:

Well, you

447

:

Amanda: sent her my way.

448

:

I'll help her out.

449

:

Right?

450

:

Yeah.

451

:

Because Well, and if you don't

know, you're like, well, where?

452

:

So we went to Whole Foods.

453

:

First That makes sense.

454

:

And then we left our cart.

455

:

'cause I was like, I can't afford this.

456

:

Right.

457

:

This food just so expensive.

458

:

This is so expensive.

459

:

Chris: And they're owned by Amazon, so

Yeah, it's like whole, which is ironic

460

:

Tyler: too.

461

:

Yeah.

462

:

It's a weird combination.

463

:

But that kinda what you were saying

before though, and what Chris was saying

464

:

is one of the reasons why I wanted to

bring you one one because my wife was

465

:

telling me for a while to have you on.

466

:

And then Christina, I haven't

467

:

Amanda: talked to her for a while

468

:

Tyler: and yeah.

469

:

And I was like, oh wait,

it's all coming together now.

470

:

Just took a while to figure it all out.

471

:

And then Christina was

talking about you as well too.

472

:

And then you posted something about

the balance of like, okay, you don't

473

:

have to be like full fledge, like out

on your own like homestead as much

474

:

as that like, would be awesome too.

475

:

But like you don't have to do that.

476

:

You can also kind of right in between.

477

:

And actually there's a situation.

478

:

I think Jennifer even talked

to you about the situation

479

:

that my family's going through.

480

:

But, sometimes you do need a little

bit of western medicine to help

481

:

get you into a place where you

can start using functional again.

482

:

Yeah.

483

:

And so I think that was really important.

484

:

And you mentioned something

about that as well too.

485

:

Amanda: Yeah.

486

:

'cause there is, there is a

place for pharmaceuticals.

487

:

Right.

488

:

I'll be completely honest, I'm on day

four of an antibiotic for sinus infection

489

:

right now because IWI, I call, I'm like, I

have tried to do this the right way, honey

490

:

and o onions are not doing it for me.

491

:

I can't breathe.

492

:

I'm like, wave the white flag ready?

493

:

You should put

494

:

Chris: the garlic in there too.

495

:

Amanda: Oh.

496

:

I tried everything.

497

:

I'm like living on a prayer.

498

:

I'm like, my husband is so sick of me.

499

:

He's like, are you better yet?

500

:

I'm like, I'm gonna get an antibiotic

'cause I can't even stand myself anymore.

501

:

But it's not my first turn anymore.

502

:

Right.

503

:

Yeah.

504

:

I'm not afraid of fevers anymore where

it's like, oh, and I, a lot of my nursing

505

:

career was on an orthopedic floor.

506

:

Mm-hmm.

507

:

So we were very.

508

:

Looking at fevers very differently.

509

:

'cause when you have a brand new

joint in your knee or your hip,

510

:

TC: yeah.

511

:

Amanda: You cannot have a

fever 'cause that you're gonna,

512

:

it's gonna be bad, right?

513

:

Yeah.

514

:

You're gonna have an, an infection

is brewing, there's something wrong.

515

:

Okay.

516

:

So I have always been trained

fever at a hundred 0.4

517

:

Tylenol.

518

:

TC: Mm.

519

:

Amanda: That was always my number.

520

:

So, you know, now I'm

like, look at your kid.

521

:

Are they hot?

522

:

Yeah.

523

:

They probably need help

put 'em into the hot tub.

524

:

Tyler: Yep.

525

:

Amanda: Because your body here, I see your

confusion and I'll tell you why that is.

526

:

So when you have a fever

527

:

TC: Yeah.

528

:

Amanda: Your body is trying to generate

heat in your body to cook out the germ.

529

:

TC: Okay.

530

:

Amanda: So if your fever's

really high, your body's like, I

531

:

really need to get this shit out.

532

:

I'm gonna cook high.

533

:

So if you, so

534

:

Chris: you need to get hotter.

535

:

If

536

:

Amanda: you get into a hot

bath, it helps your body.

537

:

'cause your body doesn't have to work

so hard to increase your temperature.

538

:

I got you.

539

:

Mm-hmm.

540

:

So, and even I've, my 9-year-old,

she's like the poor kid.

541

:

She's, she's been inundated in this

lifestyle for so long that she's

542

:

like, I don't feel good, mom, can

you draw me a hot Epsom salt bath?

543

:

And I'm like, yeah, that's awesome.

544

:

I can.

545

:

She's like, no bread.

546

:

'cause it turns into sugar.

547

:

I'm like, yes, I taught you Right.

548

:

I taught you Right.

549

:

Chris: Sorry.

550

:

It just made me laugh.

551

:

I saw this thing the other day on

Instagram and it was like, I tried to

552

:

take an oatmeal bath and it didn't work

and they literally just bought like

553

:

Quakers and put it in their bathtub.

554

:

And that to me is a hundred

percent what I always assumed.

555

:

And they're like, take an oatmeal bath.

556

:

'cause you have like, uh, eczema

or like something on your skin.

557

:

Yeah.

558

:

Yeah.

559

:

I didn't know there was like

actual legit healthy oatmeal.

560

:

Yeah.

561

:

Good.

562

:

What you, yeah.

563

:

Yeah.

564

:

Tyler: What you were saying too is

funny because I got something new

565

:

from, the grocery store for my kids

or something to eat like a snack.

566

:

And Roman, my 4-year-old goes, did

you read the ingredients on that?

567

:

Amanda: Is there red dye 40 in this?

568

:

I was

569

:

Tyler: like, yes, I have

read the ingredients.

570

:

I bought it before.

571

:

Amanda: Question me.

572

:

We'll pick out.

573

:

She'll pick out.

574

:

We go to the movies a lot.

575

:

Yeah.

576

:

And I always let her get candy.

577

:

Except she learned, she goes,

you know what we should do mom?

578

:

We should go to the Dollar Tree

and get candy at the Dollar Tree.

579

:

'cause she saw it was a dollar.

580

:

And I was like, I like

where your head's at, girl.

581

:

Yes.

582

:

Yeah.

583

:

But she will pick out this up.

584

:

She's like, can I have the red m and m?

585

:

I'm like, I, yes, we're at the mo.

586

:

Like you don't have to be

looking for the red m and ms in

587

:

the movie theater in the Dark.

588

:

Like that's not the level that I'm at.

589

:

I'm like, just don't do it every day.

590

:

Tyler: Right.

591

:

Yeah.

592

:

Amanda: Stay away from it.

593

:

And I think too, if we teach ki

well adults too, once you start

594

:

paying attention to your body and

you're in tune to what's going on.

595

:

But especially kids, she knows

how she feels when she has dies.

596

:

TC: Yep.

597

:

Amanda: She's like, my

brain won't turn off.

598

:

I'm like, yeah, that's 'cause

you had some Twizzlers,

599

:

Chris: didn't I?

600

:

Like grew up.

601

:

I have no idea how old you are, but I

grew up and we had like a kid in church

602

:

mind you, and they gave us snacks and

were like, this kid cannot have this die.

603

:

And I was like, really?

604

:

You're the reason why I

can't have Kool-Aid today.

605

:

I'm so mad at you.

606

:

And like all of my friends, like

Tyler drinks caffeine, like.

607

:

It's water.

608

:

Amanda: Me too.

609

:

Chris: Mm-hmm.

610

:

I don't probably why my

611

:

Amanda: adrenals don't work.

612

:

You're

613

:

Chris: right.

614

:

I don't drink caffeine whatsoever.

615

:

Amanda: Oh, you're a unicorn.

616

:

Chris: So when I do drink it,

then I'm like, please forgive me.

617

:

I don't know what I'm doing today.

618

:

Like I had, like I love ghosts.

619

:

It's really great flavors, but I could

drink like two sips out of it and

620

:

everyone's like, Chris, are you okay?

621

:

Amanda: My best friend is like that.

622

:

She, I could drink.

623

:

I think it's 'cause I worked

nights for so long, I could drink

624

:

a pot of coffee and go to bed.

625

:

I'm getting better.

626

:

I don't, I, my body's

like, oh, we no caffeine.

627

:

This works, this works better for you.

628

:

But I, I'm the exact ob I'm immune.

629

:

I'm so immune to, yeah,

630

:

Tyler: I did caffeine.

631

:

So December, a bunch of our

friends did decaf December.

632

:

So it was like, uh, okay,

I'll, I guess I'll do it.

633

:

'cause I got bullied into it.

634

:

But it made a complete difference.

635

:

And I, it does, I drink almost like no

caffeine now, except on recording days.

636

:

I'll drink like six coffees.

637

:

But but other than recording

days, I drink almost nothing.

638

:

Now.

639

:

Amanda: I just like, and I

could drink decaf in the mor.

640

:

I just like coffee.

641

:

That's how I'm, I like the, I

don't know, it's like ritualistic.

642

:

Chris: So then why don't

you do like matcha?

643

:

I don't like matcha.

644

:

Amanda: It tastes like grass.

645

:

Chris: Mm-hmm.

646

:

You don't drink just like regular.

647

:

And I

648

:

Amanda: don't like tea.

649

:

Chris: You don't like morning tea?

650

:

Amanda: No.

651

:

I like thick black coffee

with creamer in it.

652

:

Creamy.

653

:

And I use my little froth or z

654

:

Tyler: I'm just gonna, I was gonna

say you have Chris going down a hall

655

:

of the rabbit, the hallway together.

656

:

Oh boy.

657

:

That's always,

658

:

Amanda: I always say things

and then I'm like, I should,

659

:

I shouldn't have said that.

660

:

Chris: We've been, we've been at this all

day, so I've been really to start with.

661

:

So good.

662

:

So wait, when did you get a frother?

663

:

I am quite literally all over the world.

664

:

Amanda: Oh.

665

:

I've had a frother for

probably three years.

666

:

Chris: Like the hand

one, not the one, the the

667

:

Amanda: hand one.

668

:

But I will tell you, I got a fancy

one and you can't, it's aggressive.

669

:

You can't, I know how to use it.

670

:

Yeah, but you gotta get a pressure

sensitive one so you can just Yeah.

671

:

And take it off.

672

:

Mine just goes full bore.

673

:

Anytime everybody uses it at my

house, there's coffee everywhere.

674

:

I'm like, let me froth

your coffee for you.

675

:

I know how to use it.

676

:

It's like a muck engine.

677

:

Chris: Yeah.

678

:

We have, well we have like a fancy one

for Christmas where like she can pour.

679

:

Her milk in.

680

:

Amanda: Oh.

681

:

And it heats the milk up and

682

:

Chris: it heats it up and it spins.

683

:

And apparently you're supposed to take

like one of the things off so it doesn't

684

:

like throw coffee, throw everything.

685

:

Oh.

686

:

Like, 'cause there's

a thing on the inside.

687

:

You just pull it out, Uhhuh.

688

:

And it still stirs it, but

it doesn't like whip it.

689

:

Mm-hmm.

690

:

And then we got our froth there

because she takes greens every morning.

691

:

Oh yeah.

692

:

She as in my wife.

693

:

Amazing.

694

:

Emily.

695

:

Love you.

696

:

But she was, I like a frother.

697

:

I use it

698

:

Amanda: for everything.

699

:

Chris: I was like, why, why?

700

:

Amanda: Like powder stuff?

701

:

I don't know.

702

:

It's just more effective than a spoon.

703

:

Chris: Yeah.

704

:

I mean, I just pour everything

into a bottle and go,

705

:

Amanda: yeah, that works too.

706

:

Chris: Apparently I'm not

allowed, I only do it for

707

:

Amanda: my coffee though.

708

:

I can't drink

709

:

Chris: plastics apparently.

710

:

Amanda: Yeah.

711

:

That's, I'm working on getting

rid of my plastics at my house.

712

:

Tyler: Yeah.

713

:

We had someone, it's a whole thing.

714

:

Yeah.

715

:

We had someone on the

podcast a couple weeks ago.

716

:

He's starting up in Topal and then

hope, hopefully work his way down here.

717

:

But instead of having like a, a milk man

come to your house and dropping off milk,

718

:

he's dropping off water and glass bottles.

719

:

Yeah.

720

:

I love it.

721

:

So, yeah.

722

:

And he also let me know that aluminum

also has plastics on the inside of it too.

723

:

So I was very upset to know about

that because I thought I was

724

:

doing something better in my life.

725

:

It's a whole

726

:

Amanda: thing.

727

:

Glass is superior to everything

and I'm trying, I'm trying.

728

:

I actually, in that post I

made about not being crunchy.

729

:

Mm-hmm.

730

:

I'm like, I just, I only use my, I

just need a better coffee situation.

731

:

'cause the only thing I use

my microwave for is to heat

732

:

up my coffee 17 times a day.

733

:

Tyler: Yep.

734

:

Amanda: I need a better plan.

735

:

Maybe an insulated mug.

736

:

I could start there.

737

:

Tyler: True.

738

:

One of the women I work with, she

has a coffee mug that you charge it

739

:

and then it works for like a week,

but it keeps it warm the whole day.

740

:

Amanda: Oh,

741

:

Chris: he'll find the link and send it.

742

:

That sounds fun.

743

:

Yeah.

744

:

Amanda: My husband just likes he.

745

:

He will take his coffee out of the coffee

pot and then put it in the microwave

746

:

because he wants it like to burn his soul.

747

:

Oh, wow.

748

:

And I'm like, I haven't even

had a sip of the It's too hot.

749

:

Too hot.

750

:

Yeah.

751

:

And you're heating it up more.

752

:

I, you have?

753

:

I don't know about you.

754

:

He was brought with the coffee.

755

:

It's too hot as soon as can,

but I don't like it cold.

756

:

Like it gets cold.

757

:

Then I'm like, now you gonna add ice?

758

:

Now I'm gone to ice coffee.

759

:

Yeah.

760

:

Tyler: Well, since we're talking about

things that for don't make sense Pro.

761

:

Yeah.

762

:

For a lot of our listeners who

may not be, I'm just kidding.

763

:

A lot of our listeners probably

are, because a lot of our best

764

:

episodes are health episodes.

765

:

But if anyone's listening that has not

started down like a wellness journey,

766

:

what's one of the first things that they

can start that's not gonna completely

767

:

like throw them through a loop?

768

:

Amanda: Oh, just read ingredients.

769

:

That's the first place.

770

:

That's where I started.

771

:

So when Reagan was little,

we used to have, you know,

772

:

those little like meal water?

773

:

Yeah.

774

:

Little squirty things.

775

:

TC: Yeah.

776

:

Amanda: So we used to, I was just

talking about this the other day

777

:

and I thought it was so funny.

778

:

We used to call it flavoring.

779

:

Yeah.

780

:

Water flavoring.

781

:

Yeah.

782

:

Except Reagan had a really bad

speech impediment when she was

783

:

little and she couldn't pronounce

like 80% of the alphabet.

784

:

So she used to call it

ween, like flavor ween.

785

:

Okay.

786

:

I was like, she's like, mom,

whatever happened to that ween stuff?

787

:

I'm like, oh boy, that is some toxic trash

garbage that I was feeding you at two.

788

:

'cause I thought it was better than juice.

789

:

TC: Right.

790

:

Amanda: And it had peg in

it and red, who the heck?

791

:

Whatever, dye on the red, blue

of blue, green, all of 'em.

792

:

And once I realized that, I'm

like, oh, okay, ingredients.

793

:

I'm gonna start looking at ingredients.

794

:

And my big thing was, and I think

this is the place that people can

795

:

start really easy, if you don't

recognize an ingredient, don't buy it.

796

:

Chris: Mm-hmm.

797

:

See, that's not fair for like

scientists and like smart

798

:

people who went to like school.

799

:

Amanda: That's true.

800

:

But if you are like, maybe I

shouldn't eat that chemical compound.

801

:

Don't eat it.

802

:

Tyler: Yeah.

803

:

Odds are if you're a scientist, you know,

I mean, if you're a scientist, you're

804

:

Amanda: worth, I think that's a very,

uh, fringe minority of both the people.

805

:

Chris: And then there's me and I'm

like, I can guess what this is.

806

:

I know that word.

807

:

Yeah.

808

:

Amanda: And so back before I was

really into health and fitness.

809

:

Yeah.

810

:

I was, I was the health and fitness

coach with a workout company.

811

:

That doesn't really exist anymore.

812

:

And I remember, think I would

tell people just shop at the

813

:

outskirts of the grocery store.

814

:

That's the other easiest way to do it.

815

:

Tyler: Mm-hmm.

816

:

Amanda: All the middle

aisles, guess what it is?

817

:

Not food.

818

:

Tyler: Yeah.

819

:

All processed food.

820

:

But

821

:

Amanda: I did go home from Publix

with two bags of lace today.

822

:

So,

823

:

Chris: so you're, but what you're saying

is that ice cream's on the outside,

824

:

Amanda: it isn't.

825

:

It's in the middle.

826

:

It's technically not.

827

:

Yeah.

828

:

Chris: It depends on the place you go to.

829

:

That's

830

:

Amanda: true.

831

:

Chris: Because I go to Lowe's food.

832

:

Oh yeah.

833

:

And when I walk to the left,

it's right there on the edge.

834

:

Amanda: It is, it is.

835

:

That's true.

836

:

Well, yeah, get some ice cream.

837

:

Live your life.

838

:

Right.

839

:

Just, you know, but then, then it

goes back to ingredient reading.

840

:

Chris: True.

841

:

I just go to TIS for ice cream.

842

:

I co, to be honest,

it's the high toast corn

843

:

Amanda: syrup that gets me every, my

mom's just learning ingredient reading and

844

:

she's like, every single ice cream thing.

845

:

Oh.

846

:

Every has it.

847

:

She's like, they all have

high fructose corn syrup.

848

:

I'm like, welcome to Planet Earth.

849

:

Yes.

850

:

Yep.

851

:

Because it's cheap.

852

:

TC: Mm-hmm.

853

:

Amanda: But it tastes so good.

854

:

Chris: Mm-hmm.

855

:

What was the other thing that was in ms?

856

:

What is it?

857

:

Ms.

858

:

Cheese.

859

:

Whatever's in all the Chinese food.

860

:

Yeah.

861

:

That's the taste cheese.

862

:

Amanda: Monosodium, gly.

863

:

Gluc.

864

:

Glyconate.

865

:

Chris: Glyconate.

866

:

I think it is

867

:

Amanda: Glyconate.

868

:

I think it is MSG.

869

:

Chris: It's what makes it taste delicious.

870

:

Amanda: It is.

871

:

Mm-hmm.

872

:

Chris: I legit didn't realize that.

873

:

And then I went to a place that

didn't use it, and I'm like.

874

:

I'm gonna have to go back.

875

:

Yeah.

876

:

Amanda: We just cook.

877

:

I, I do love going out to eat

and I am on a, going on five

878

:

year bender of restaurants in

Wilmington that I've never been to.

879

:

Guess what?

880

:

I still haven't been to them all.

881

:

And I've been here for five years.

882

:

There's so many restaurants.

883

:

Chris: There's so many though.

884

:

So many.

885

:

There's

886

:

Amanda: so many.

887

:

And I wanna eat at them all.

888

:

Chris: Finish your statement.

889

:

Amanda: But that, so I started

doing like Chinese food.

890

:

Mm-hmm.

891

:

We'll cook Chinese food at home.

892

:

Mm-hmm.

893

:

And a fun way to make Chinese

food taste good at home is to use

894

:

coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.

895

:

Tyler: Yeah.

896

:

Amanda: And it's better.

897

:

Tyler: I actually like

coconut aminos Me too.

898

:

More.

899

:

More than soy sauce because soy

sauce is just so salty to me.

900

:

Amanda: It's sweeter.

901

:

Yeah.

902

:

And it's thicker.

903

:

Matt makes a he cooks chicken thighs.

904

:

He's getting at mm-hmm.

905

:

On the Blackstone Grill.

906

:

Oh yeah.

907

:

With the coconut aminos.

908

:

And it's almost like bourbon chicken.

909

:

TC: Mm-hmm.

910

:

Mm-hmm.

911

:

So good.

912

:

Chris: All I can think of when

I think of aminos is just like.

913

:

The stuff I put into my drinks.

914

:

Oh yeah.

915

:

This is like a,

916

:

Amanda: it's like a soy sauce

alternative, but it's kind of sweet.

917

:

Oh, interesting.

918

:

It's good on rice.

919

:

Chris: Mm-hmm.

920

:

As soon as you're like, I,

I make Chinese food at home.

921

:

I just picture being a kid.

922

:

We got McDonald's at home too.

923

:

Amanda: We do.

924

:

I've turned it into that mom, but

I'll walk and I'm very excited

925

:

to use it because a wok makes

a big difference when you cook.

926

:

Chris: Yes.

927

:

'cause of how the heat spreads out.

928

:

Yes.

929

:

Amanda: And I, I'm, I'm fired

from buying kitchen gadgets and

930

:

cups 'cause my cabinets are full.

931

:

So my wife too.

932

:

I get it.

933

:

I, so I bought this wok 'cause it was

in the Isle of Shame at Aldi's for $12.

934

:

And I was like, well

you're going home with me.

935

:

I don't care what happens.

936

:

And I had to hang it above

my dryer in my laundry room.

937

:

Oh.

938

:

Because I have no space for it.

939

:

Chris: So.

940

:

' Amanda: cause it's huge.

941

:

Chris: Have you seen this thing?

942

:

I, I just, 'cause you're on social

media where people have swapped.

943

:

Where they put their stuff in their house.

944

:

Oh.

945

:

So like instead of having your

food and a pantry, you pull that

946

:

and you put it in your cabinets.

947

:

Amanda: That's actually really smart.

948

:

Chris: And then you take your

stuff that's in your cabinets

949

:

and put it in your pantry.

950

:

One, you can see all your

stuff a little bit easier.

951

:

And then you can also be

like, I don't ever use that.

952

:

Toss it, but your food.

953

:

'cause you see it, you have to

constantly open it and you're like,

954

:

okay, I haven't eaten that in a while.

955

:

So you can take that outta your regimen.

956

:

And oop,

957

:

Amanda: I really am a fan.

958

:

Matt's gonna be really

mad when he comes out.

959

:

I'm like, but it also, all

my cabinets are different.

960

:

But it

961

:

Chris: also allows you to

like your pots and pans.

962

:

Like, I can't stack them

typically in my little cabinet.

963

:

Yeah.

964

:

So if you put 'em on a shelf, you got

more space to like spread 'em out.

965

:

Gum.

966

:

And my pantry is

967

:

Amanda: stupid, so I'm a fan of this.

968

:

It's skinny and deep.

969

:

Yeah.

970

:

Mm-hmm.

971

:

So I, I'm like, like going on an

adventure to find, I'm like, I

972

:

know I have rice in here somewhere.

973

:

Chris: Yeah.

974

:

Amanda: Sorry.

975

:

Oh, I like, I'm okay.

976

:

I'm file that away.

977

:

Chris: Sorry.

978

:

Just a random thought.

979

:

I like it.

980

:

Uh, random places you, 'cause he talks

health 'cause that's where Tyler is, if

981

:

you can't tell between the two of us.

982

:

I'm the tall fat one.

983

:

He's a short, skinny one.

984

:

Yes I am.

985

:

Uh, so restaurants in Wilmington.

986

:

Yeah.

987

:

That you've tried.

988

:

Have you tried any new ones this year?

989

:

Amanda: I'm trying to think of new,

990

:

Chris: new ones or new to you.

991

:

New to me.

992

:

Yeah.

993

:

I mean, I've lived here my whole life

and there's still plenty of restaurants.

994

:

Every there is.

995

:

And then the

996

:

Amanda: food trucks get me too.

997

:

Chris: Mm-hmm.

998

:

Amanda: Because those count, I'm

chasing, I'm chasing a food truck.

999

:

It's the, Okay.

:

00:31:47,259 --> 00:31:48,909

Garbage plate, food truck.

:

00:31:49,449 --> 00:31:50,199

Tyler: Uh, yeah, I've heard of it.

:

00:31:50,199 --> 00:31:51,219

Sports city plates.

:

00:31:51,249 --> 00:31:51,429

Yeah.

:

00:31:51,434 --> 00:31:51,604

Yeah.

:

00:31:51,879 --> 00:31:57,519

Amanda: Because I went to college there

and I know what a garbage plate is.

:

00:31:57,549 --> 00:31:57,999

I've eaten.

:

00:31:59,439 --> 00:32:04,359

It's, they seem very authentic

and I want to go there, but I'm

:

00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:05,649

always like, where are you today?

:

00:32:06,309 --> 00:32:08,259

Oh, you're in Topsail I'm

not going there today.

:

00:32:08,349 --> 00:32:08,589

Chris: Right.

:

00:32:08,619 --> 00:32:11,649

Amanda: So, so I'm like, I'm always

on the hunt for this Port City

:

00:32:11,889 --> 00:32:12,159

Chris: place.

:

00:32:12,729 --> 00:32:13,059

Don't worry.

:

00:32:13,119 --> 00:32:14,109

I'm the same way truck.

:

00:32:14,409 --> 00:32:18,609

I told my wife, I'm like, Hey, I want to

go to Tops Soul to go get some liquor.

:

00:32:18,609 --> 00:32:18,849

And that's,

:

00:32:20,199 --> 00:32:21,789

Amanda: you know, they

have that in this town.

:

00:32:22,274 --> 00:32:25,359

Chris: Well, I wanted,

I like Hidden Chips.

:

00:32:25,389 --> 00:32:25,599

Yeah.

:

00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:26,769

Hidden Chips is awesome.

:

00:32:26,769 --> 00:32:29,139

And up there, and it was a

Sunday, so I can't like buy Oh.

:

00:32:29,889 --> 00:32:33,999

Like I'm off on Sundays usually, and if

I want to get it, I gotta drive up there.

:

00:32:33,999 --> 00:32:34,389

Amanda: Mm.

:

00:32:34,749 --> 00:32:37,599

Chris: But then she was like, yeah,

baby, you realize it's like two hours

:

00:32:37,809 --> 00:32:41,679

of your day that's gone and I don't

wanna sit in a car for two hours.

:

00:32:41,679 --> 00:32:42,399

I'm like, okay.

:

00:32:43,509 --> 00:32:44,079

Valid.

:

00:32:44,499 --> 00:32:46,477

So I understand why you don't want

to drive to Doil for food truck.

:

00:32:46,749 --> 00:32:47,019

Yeah.

:

00:32:47,019 --> 00:32:47,169

I'm

:

00:32:47,169 --> 00:32:48,969

Amanda: like, no, we're, we're not.

:

00:32:48,969 --> 00:32:51,489

But I'm obsessed with Ossa right now.

:

00:32:51,489 --> 00:32:52,149

I can.

:

00:32:52,149 --> 00:32:52,150

Okay.

:

00:32:52,239 --> 00:32:53,829

I can't get, I can't get enough of it.

:

00:32:53,859 --> 00:32:53,979

Okay.

:

00:32:54,009 --> 00:32:56,649

They used to have on their

menu a crab Rangoon flatbread.

:

00:32:56,919 --> 00:32:59,319

And it's gone and I'm sad about it.

:

00:32:59,529 --> 00:32:59,559

Mm.

:

00:32:59,799 --> 00:33:00,549

Oh, that does sound good.

:

00:33:00,549 --> 00:33:02,349

I bet you could ask them though.

:

00:33:02,679 --> 00:33:04,959

I feel, you know, those like hidden

menu things where you're like,

:

00:33:04,959 --> 00:33:07,539

you used to have this, you just

still have all the ingredients.

:

00:33:07,659 --> 00:33:07,929

Is that right?

:

00:33:08,079 --> 00:33:09,434

Can you make this for me?

:

00:33:11,169 --> 00:33:13,899

Chris: So, you know, Saki iss

your favorite sushi joint?

:

00:33:13,989 --> 00:33:14,649

Amanda: Yes.

:

00:33:14,709 --> 00:33:14,889

Okay.

:

00:33:15,249 --> 00:33:17,499

I can, it's, I've tried them all.

:

00:33:18,159 --> 00:33:20,649

I think I've tried every

sushi place that do that.

:

00:33:20,649 --> 00:33:21,579

Doesn't look sketchy.

:

00:33:22,029 --> 00:33:22,359

Chris: Okay.

:

00:33:23,169 --> 00:33:23,619

Amanda: I'll say that.

:

00:33:23,619 --> 00:33:24,589

That's so what's your

:

00:33:24,589 --> 00:33:25,879

Chris: opinion of Bento Box?

:

00:33:26,269 --> 00:33:28,129

Amanda: I also really like Bento box.

:

00:33:29,209 --> 00:33:29,659

I re

:

00:33:29,779 --> 00:33:31,789

Chris: they're two very

different, it's different.

:

00:33:31,794 --> 00:33:31,874

I,

:

00:33:31,879 --> 00:33:34,909

Amanda: I like Bento box 'cause

it's close to my house and it's

:

00:33:34,909 --> 00:33:37,129

not a whole downtown thing.

:

00:33:37,189 --> 00:33:37,579

TC: Yes.

:

00:33:37,639 --> 00:33:38,869

Amanda: Going downtown's a thing.

:

00:33:39,259 --> 00:33:39,379

Yes.

:

00:33:39,379 --> 00:33:40,249

If you don't live there.

:

00:33:40,969 --> 00:33:44,179

So I like the Bento box and I like,

I always sit at the sushi bar.

:

00:33:44,184 --> 00:33:44,424

Mm-hmm.

:

00:33:44,504 --> 00:33:44,704

Mm-hmm.

:

00:33:44,809 --> 00:33:49,849

And whoever the manager is, is always

cutting fish and very talkative and nice.

:

00:33:49,909 --> 00:33:50,029

Yeah.

:

00:33:50,239 --> 00:33:51,589

And I appreciate that.

:

00:33:52,219 --> 00:33:52,399

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:33:52,879 --> 00:33:54,229

I'm on the fence and

they have good food too.

:

00:33:54,259 --> 00:33:55,489

Always just sit at the bar.

:

00:33:56,419 --> 00:33:59,449

Mostly 'cause I tend to

get food and things faster.

:

00:33:59,449 --> 00:34:01,549

If I'm sitting at the bar, I

like to sit at the bar as well.

:

00:34:02,089 --> 00:34:03,649

Tyler: That's kind of how

this podcast got started.

:

00:34:03,649 --> 00:34:05,509

We just like talking to people randomly.

:

00:34:05,569 --> 00:34:05,839

Yeah.

:

00:34:05,839 --> 00:34:10,219

Start, you're like, yeah, you know

what we can put this on podcast for.

:

00:34:10,504 --> 00:34:11,264

Amanda: I think it's a great idea.

:

00:34:11,774 --> 00:34:12,063

Yeah.

:

00:34:12,304 --> 00:34:14,208

I, I'm a fan.

:

00:34:14,208 --> 00:34:14,539

I don't know.

:

00:34:14,539 --> 00:34:15,438

I like all the food.

:

00:34:15,438 --> 00:34:16,489

I'm like all, all of it.

:

00:34:16,489 --> 00:34:18,708

Every place I've been,

I really like all of it.

:

00:34:20,059 --> 00:34:22,699

Zeke's on Wrightsville Beach mm-hmm.

:

00:34:22,759 --> 00:34:24,619

Is also Oh, it's so good.

:

00:34:24,619 --> 00:34:24,799

Haven't

:

00:34:24,799 --> 00:34:25,339

Tyler: been in a while.

:

00:34:25,339 --> 00:34:25,879

That is really good.

:

00:34:25,879 --> 00:34:27,768

There's always a line out the door.

:

00:34:27,768 --> 00:34:31,518

Amanda: You have to sweat to death and

wait for your food, but it's so worth it.

:

00:34:31,518 --> 00:34:32,329

Those little awesome.

:

00:34:32,329 --> 00:34:34,639

I big bowls and they have

a good pokey bowl too.

:

00:34:35,478 --> 00:34:36,264

TC: Never had a poke bowl.

:

00:34:36,333 --> 00:34:37,184

Bowl, poke bowl at all.

:

00:34:37,373 --> 00:34:37,664

Good.

:

00:34:37,849 --> 00:34:38,029

No.

:

00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:38,899

Amanda: Oh.

:

00:34:39,889 --> 00:34:40,789

Like ever?

:

00:34:41,268 --> 00:34:41,418

TC: Yeah.

:

00:34:41,424 --> 00:34:41,434

Amanda: No.

:

00:34:41,629 --> 00:34:41,929

Okay.

:

00:34:41,929 --> 00:34:43,879

This is when I learned about a poke bowl.

:

00:34:43,938 --> 00:34:45,228

I was like, like, I know what they are.

:

00:34:45,228 --> 00:34:45,889

Someone.

:

00:34:45,889 --> 00:34:48,619

This is how I've realized

what it was though.

:

00:34:48,679 --> 00:34:53,329

I'm like, it's sushi,

but in a burrito bowl.

:

00:34:53,748 --> 00:34:54,168

Yeah.

:

00:34:54,619 --> 00:34:54,889

It's

:

00:34:54,889 --> 00:34:55,518

Chris: so good.

:

00:34:55,759 --> 00:34:56,899

I mean, it makes sense.

:

00:34:56,899 --> 00:34:56,989

It's

:

00:34:56,989 --> 00:34:57,079

Amanda: so

:

00:34:57,123 --> 00:34:57,324

TC: good.

:

00:34:57,704 --> 00:35:01,249

Chris: But it's same like with

a what's the other bowls that

:

00:35:01,249 --> 00:35:04,849

are, that are big soups and they

usually throw a big egg in them.

:

00:35:05,179 --> 00:35:05,509

Amanda: Oh.

:

00:35:05,509 --> 00:35:06,769

Uh, ramen.

:

00:35:06,829 --> 00:35:07,129

Yeah.

:

00:35:07,339 --> 00:35:08,059

Never ran that either.

:

00:35:08,389 --> 00:35:08,899

Yeah.

:

00:35:08,989 --> 00:35:10,219

I've only had ramen noodles.

:

00:35:10,219 --> 00:35:11,959

Top Ramen High five.

:

00:35:12,139 --> 00:35:14,449

Tyler: Chris Chris is having

one hell of an episode.

:

00:35:14,449 --> 00:35:16,789

He got on food and stayed on.

:

00:35:16,789 --> 00:35:17,869

Amanda: So you can tell we're hungry.

:

00:35:18,949 --> 00:35:23,149

Chris: This is if, if you've listened

to the podcast, most of you guys have,

:

00:35:23,479 --> 00:35:28,759

I go down food Rabbit holes usually

on episode three because I'm hungry.

:

00:35:28,819 --> 00:35:29,629

' Amanda: cause you're getting hungry.

:

00:35:29,629 --> 00:35:30,049

I get it.

:

00:35:30,049 --> 00:35:30,259

Yes.

:

00:35:30,259 --> 00:35:31,129

Or four.

:

00:35:31,459 --> 00:35:34,504

Chris: You let me, we were able

to hold off on three because he

:

00:35:34,504 --> 00:35:37,849

did, he held off because it was

all, it was hardcore liquor.

:

00:35:38,329 --> 00:35:38,659

Yeah.

:

00:35:38,749 --> 00:35:40,849

Uh, but I'm gonna gonna

bring it back around.

:

00:35:41,029 --> 00:35:41,389

Okay.

:

00:35:41,659 --> 00:35:43,369

Talk about functional medicine.

:

00:35:43,549 --> 00:35:43,729

Oh yeah.

:

00:35:44,299 --> 00:35:44,989

That's how we got here.

:

00:35:45,019 --> 00:35:45,109

Okay.

:

00:35:45,139 --> 00:35:46,369

Yes, yes.

:

00:35:46,469 --> 00:35:49,709

So we talked about like, what

do people do to eat Right.

:

00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:50,679

First step.

:

00:35:51,249 --> 00:35:55,689

But to get, find the original

help, where do they go?

:

00:35:56,049 --> 00:35:58,569

Like, is everybody a functional doctor?

:

00:35:58,569 --> 00:36:01,869

Like how would you find

so suggest Anyways, there

:

00:36:01,869 --> 00:36:04,269

Amanda: is, and I can give you guys

the link, so if you wanted to put

:

00:36:04,269 --> 00:36:06,999

it in the show notes for people,

but there's a place it's called,

:

00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,039

this is, I'm gonna go on my soapbox.

:

00:36:09,279 --> 00:36:14,469

The Freddy Yuhan method is the

nutrition response testing method

:

00:36:14,499 --> 00:36:18,489

that I have vetted, used multiple

doctors that have used it.

:

00:36:18,489 --> 00:36:21,819

And I'm always like, okay, if

you use this, you're not a quack.

:

00:36:22,449 --> 00:36:25,599

I, 'cause there's plenty of like

wild and crazy things out there.

:

00:36:25,959 --> 00:36:32,199

But you have to find someone that you

trust and then also like go see them.

:

00:36:32,199 --> 00:36:34,689

And don't be afraid to be

like, this is not a fit.

:

00:36:35,079 --> 00:36:35,259

TC: Okay,

:

00:36:35,289 --> 00:36:36,819

Amanda: you're not because.

:

00:36:37,224 --> 00:36:40,764

People are so accustomed to just, they

pick a doctor, they go to the doctor,

:

00:36:40,764 --> 00:36:42,324

that doctor is now their doctor.

:

00:36:42,324 --> 00:36:43,914

And they're like, but I

don't really like them.

:

00:36:44,034 --> 00:36:44,214

TC: Yeah.

:

00:36:44,214 --> 00:36:44,994

Mm-hmm.

:

00:36:45,054 --> 00:36:49,464

Amanda: So I'm always an advocate

for, figure out who the best

:

00:36:49,464 --> 00:36:52,554

person in your area is for

whatever problem that you have.

:

00:36:52,824 --> 00:36:52,944

TC: Okay.

:

00:36:53,364 --> 00:36:57,714

Amanda: And go doctor shopping and do

some research, like open up Chad, GBT

:

00:36:57,714 --> 00:36:59,274

and be like, teach me some things.

:

00:36:59,274 --> 00:37:00,954

So I sound smart.

:

00:37:01,254 --> 00:37:01,404

Yeah.

:

00:37:02,574 --> 00:37:03,924

Tyler: Have you heard of Upper Health?

:

00:37:04,044 --> 00:37:04,734

Yes.

:

00:37:04,734 --> 00:37:05,304

I'm actually

:

00:37:05,304 --> 00:37:07,044

Amanda: meeting with Sarah on Tuesday.

:

00:37:07,254 --> 00:37:07,344

Oh,

:

00:37:07,344 --> 00:37:07,704

Tyler: no way.

:

00:37:07,704 --> 00:37:07,974

Okay.

:

00:37:07,974 --> 00:37:08,424

Yes.

:

00:37:08,484 --> 00:37:08,724

Yeah.

:

00:37:08,724 --> 00:37:09,954

So I know Sarah really well.

:

00:37:09,954 --> 00:37:11,349

She's been the podcast a

few times and everything.

:

00:37:11,509 --> 00:37:11,869

I love her too.

:

00:37:12,594 --> 00:37:15,614

And I think what she's doing is really

smart because she's kind of making it

:

00:37:15,614 --> 00:37:17,594

easy to do exactly what you just said.

:

00:37:17,714 --> 00:37:17,774

Yeah.

:

00:37:17,984 --> 00:37:19,244

It's like, Hey, you know what?

:

00:37:19,274 --> 00:37:21,854

Go talk to one of the upper

RNs that they have there.

:

00:37:21,854 --> 00:37:23,444

They'll find out kind of what's going on.

:

00:37:24,224 --> 00:37:27,974

And kind of help lead you to

the right specialist for Yeah.

:

00:37:28,004 --> 00:37:28,664

What you need.

:

00:37:28,664 --> 00:37:31,974

Because like there's a bunch of

functional practitioners out there, but

:

00:37:31,974 --> 00:37:33,654

some of them focus on different things.

:

00:37:33,684 --> 00:37:33,924

TC: Yeah.

:

00:37:33,929 --> 00:37:33,979

Yeah.

:

00:37:34,254 --> 00:37:35,874

Tyler: So that's, that's

always really important too.

:

00:37:35,874 --> 00:37:38,184

So like, if you're having issues with

hormones, you probably don't want to

:

00:37:38,184 --> 00:37:41,124

go to someone else who's more of a

nutritionist or something like that.

:

00:37:41,124 --> 00:37:41,274

Right.

:

00:37:41,274 --> 00:37:42,564

For different, for different aspects.

:

00:37:42,684 --> 00:37:42,939

But yeah.

:

00:37:42,944 --> 00:37:44,514

Chris: I wanted to know if

you wanna be like Wilmington

:

00:37:44,514 --> 00:37:47,059

Functional Med also that too.

:

00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:47,381

Is that a

:

00:37:48,654 --> 00:37:48,954

Tyler: yes?

:

00:37:48,954 --> 00:37:49,194

Yes.

:

00:37:49,194 --> 00:37:50,874

'cause we've had them on the podcast.

:

00:37:50,874 --> 00:37:51,174

Yeah.

:

00:37:51,744 --> 00:37:54,714

Chris: My brain, I, I was

sitting, I'm like, I thought

:

00:37:54,714 --> 00:37:56,214

we had had them on the podcast.

:

00:37:56,214 --> 00:37:59,634

They're on, I follow 'em on social media

and I'm like, oh, I like their stuff.

:

00:37:59,694 --> 00:37:59,964

Dr.

:

00:37:59,964 --> 00:38:00,744

Hillary Rutledge.

:

00:38:01,224 --> 00:38:01,674

Thank you.

:

00:38:01,764 --> 00:38:02,004

Yep.

:

00:38:02,424 --> 00:38:03,534

I'm horrible with names.

:

00:38:03,834 --> 00:38:04,045

Great faces.

:

00:38:04,050 --> 00:38:04,219

Me too.

:

00:38:04,219 --> 00:38:05,124

But I remember faces.

:

00:38:05,124 --> 00:38:05,304

Yeah.

:

00:38:05,304 --> 00:38:05,814

See, yeah.

:

00:38:07,134 --> 00:38:09,864

See that's just my ancestral

background, just kicking in.

:

00:38:09,864 --> 00:38:12,534

Like, you don't gotta remember

that name, just know that person.

:

00:38:12,984 --> 00:38:13,374

That's true.

:

00:38:13,474 --> 00:38:18,694

But other thing, you talks about

the wellness shop you want.

:

00:38:19,234 --> 00:38:20,525

Jump on your soap soap box.

:

00:38:20,554 --> 00:38:21,929

Jump on my soap box and

talk about it a little bit.

:

00:38:22,294 --> 00:38:25,144

Amanda: So the reason why I found

this store was because I went to

:

00:38:25,144 --> 00:38:28,144

this nutrition response testing

doctor, and he basically was like,

:

00:38:28,204 --> 00:38:30,244

all the stuff in your house is shit.

:

00:38:30,244 --> 00:38:30,874

Get rid of it.

:

00:38:30,874 --> 00:38:33,274

And I'm like, well, where

do, well, I can't go to Whole

:

00:38:33,274 --> 00:38:34,564

Foods 'cause I can't afford it.

:

00:38:34,654 --> 00:38:34,774

Yeah.

:

00:38:34,804 --> 00:38:35,824

This is ridiculous.

:

00:38:35,854 --> 00:38:36,544

What do I do?

:

00:38:36,814 --> 00:38:40,174

So I found this store and my best

friend and I both started shopping

:

00:38:40,174 --> 00:38:43,204

there and we were like, okay, we're

gonna shop here no matter what.

:

00:38:43,204 --> 00:38:44,284

We need these products.

:

00:38:44,314 --> 00:38:49,384

They're, you know, it's like, it's like a

virtual target without the throw pillows.

:

00:38:49,954 --> 00:38:50,074

TC: Okay.

:

00:38:50,314 --> 00:38:52,354

Amanda: More, it's like all the

stuff you'd go to Target for.

:

00:38:52,744 --> 00:38:53,044

Yeah.

:

00:38:53,134 --> 00:38:54,034

Not a lot of food.

:

00:38:54,304 --> 00:38:55,894

Mostly like home essential stuff.

:

00:38:55,894 --> 00:39:00,814

So we got like cleaners, vitamins,

skincare, haircare, makeup all

:

00:39:00,874 --> 00:39:03,004

sorts of snacks, whatever, right.

:

00:39:03,334 --> 00:39:03,964

That type of stuff.

:

00:39:03,964 --> 00:39:07,864

So we're like, okay, we're gonna, we're

gonna come here, we're gonna shop here,

:

00:39:07,864 --> 00:39:09,004

and we're gonna get all our stuff here.

:

00:39:09,004 --> 00:39:10,324

We're gonna convert our houses over.

:

00:39:10,324 --> 00:39:13,204

And then they were like, by the

way, you can make money by referring

:

00:39:13,234 --> 00:39:14,404

other people to this store.

:

00:39:14,689 --> 00:39:21,199

And I was like, I'm listening because I

would like to leave nursing at some point.

:

00:39:21,199 --> 00:39:23,089

And nothing has ever worked out for me.

:

00:39:23,419 --> 00:39:25,729

So I'm like, all right,

let me see how this works.

:

00:39:25,729 --> 00:39:31,399

So in my first month of share, I'm

like, everybody needs this store.

:

00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:32,599

You need this store here.

:

00:39:32,629 --> 00:39:34,159

I'm like, I'm learning bleach is bad.

:

00:39:34,159 --> 00:39:34,759

This is terrible.

:

00:39:34,759 --> 00:39:36,229

I'm just sharing stuff on social media.

:

00:39:36,229 --> 00:39:39,829

I was today years old when I learned

X, Y, Z and I'm sharing these products.

:

00:39:39,859 --> 00:39:39,919

Yeah.

:

00:39:40,309 --> 00:39:41,479

And the store as a whole.

:

00:39:41,479 --> 00:39:45,489

And I was like $200 shy in my

first month of what I needed to

:

00:39:45,489 --> 00:39:47,049

make to leave my nursing job.

:

00:39:47,134 --> 00:39:47,514

TC: Oh, wow.

:

00:39:47,514 --> 00:39:47,914

And I was

:

00:39:47,914 --> 00:39:50,559

Amanda: like, oh, it's on, it is on.

:

00:39:50,559 --> 00:39:57,159

So I eat, slept and breathed the

store for the next six months.

:

00:39:57,549 --> 00:40:01,179

And then I left nursing

in December of:

:

00:40:01,659 --> 00:40:01,959

Hmm.

:

00:40:02,904 --> 00:40:05,124

Right before, right before

everything happened, the world

:

00:40:05,124 --> 00:40:06,054

Chris: exploded.

:

00:40:06,864 --> 00:40:08,304

And every before the fan got hit,

:

00:40:08,484 --> 00:40:10,434

Amanda: I really dodged a bullet there.

:

00:40:10,434 --> 00:40:13,164

And so I just was like, all right,

well this is my full-time job now.

:

00:40:13,164 --> 00:40:16,164

And I help people educate.

:

00:40:16,164 --> 00:40:19,314

I educate people about the products

and what's in their houses and

:

00:40:19,314 --> 00:40:20,874

alternatives and all of those things.

:

00:40:20,874 --> 00:40:25,584

And then I also, because I was so

passionate about teaching people

:

00:40:25,584 --> 00:40:30,264

things that I didn't know as a nurse,

I wasn't taught anything as a nurse

:

00:40:30,444 --> 00:40:32,544

in regards to functional health.

:

00:40:32,604 --> 00:40:32,784

TC: Yeah.

:

00:40:33,114 --> 00:40:35,124

Amanda: And what really our bodies do.

:

00:40:35,124 --> 00:40:38,784

So I was like digging down all

these rabbit holes and I would just

:

00:40:38,784 --> 00:40:42,474

share it all on the internet, and

I'm like, come learn with me today.

:

00:40:42,754 --> 00:40:46,534

So I had a bunch of people,

they were following me on social

:

00:40:46,534 --> 00:40:50,704

media, so they were like, I trust

you, you sh like you're given.

:

00:40:50,704 --> 00:40:50,884

I was.

:

00:40:51,424 --> 00:40:57,094

Given away vaccine exemption forms and

where people could find ivermectin and

:

00:40:57,094 --> 00:40:59,164

all of these crazy things during Covid VI.

:

00:40:59,164 --> 00:41:00,964

And they were like, well,

you helped me with that.

:

00:41:00,964 --> 00:41:02,734

I guess I'll buy my laundry soap from you.

:

00:41:03,094 --> 00:41:04,024

And I'm like, sweet.

:

00:41:04,144 --> 00:41:06,454

So we kind of took off there.

:

00:41:06,454 --> 00:41:10,434

And Covid, OVID really, really made

our business exploded during Covid

:

00:41:10,434 --> 00:41:14,094

because people were waking up to the

fact that our immune systems are trash.

:

00:41:14,094 --> 00:41:15,744

We need better supplementation.

:

00:41:16,044 --> 00:41:19,644

Even the food, you can eat whole

foods, but the soil is depleted.

:

00:41:20,394 --> 00:41:20,484

Chris: Mm-hmm.

:

00:41:20,724 --> 00:41:20,784

Yeah.

:

00:41:20,784 --> 00:41:21,349

So there's no chance.

:

00:41:21,349 --> 00:41:21,564

So like, we

:

00:41:21,564 --> 00:41:25,944

Amanda: need supplementation in

our lives to be at optimal health.

:

00:41:25,944 --> 00:41:27,834

So I was teaching all

of that type of stuff.

:

00:41:27,834 --> 00:41:33,204

And then I also help people to

build referral businesses also.

:

00:41:33,204 --> 00:41:37,944

So that's my really big passion

is mentorship in business.

:

00:41:37,944 --> 00:41:38,034

Mm-hmm.

:

00:41:38,334 --> 00:41:41,004

But because of how I've branded

myself on the internet, I don't

:

00:41:41,004 --> 00:41:42,414

get to talk about it a lot.

:

00:41:42,414 --> 00:41:42,504

Mm-hmm.

:

00:41:43,164 --> 00:41:44,694

Because everyone's like, you're a nurse.

:

00:41:44,694 --> 00:41:45,624

Here's my rash.

:

00:41:45,804 --> 00:41:47,034

Can you help me with this?

:

00:41:47,034 --> 00:41:49,404

And I'm like, yeah, but I really

would rather help you make money.

:

00:41:49,794 --> 00:41:50,034

Chris: Right.

:

00:41:50,419 --> 00:41:50,709

Cool.

:

00:41:50,849 --> 00:41:51,594

Amanda: But I do it both.

:

00:41:51,594 --> 00:41:52,044

But yeah.

:

00:41:52,224 --> 00:41:55,794

Chris: In my head that like story

is like Jordan, the stallion.

:

00:41:55,914 --> 00:41:57,029

Do you know who he is on TikTok?

:

00:41:57,034 --> 00:41:57,384

Mm-hmm.

:

00:41:57,444 --> 00:42:01,314

He's the same every, he's,

his videos are just him being

:

00:42:01,344 --> 00:42:02,574

like, oh, look at what this is.

:

00:42:02,574 --> 00:42:07,564

In reality, he's like, I really just

have silly jokes I want to tell people.

:

00:42:07,564 --> 00:42:11,464

And, but you guys want to know

what kind of spider that was or,

:

00:42:11,554 --> 00:42:11,974

Amanda: yeah.

:

00:42:12,034 --> 00:42:14,974

Chris: How to make the

canes dipping sauce.

:

00:42:15,184 --> 00:42:15,724

I got you.

:

00:42:15,904 --> 00:42:16,144

Amanda: Yeah.

:

00:42:16,144 --> 00:42:17,519

I, I'll show, I'll show you all of it.

:

00:42:17,519 --> 00:42:17,759

Yeah.

:

00:42:17,974 --> 00:42:22,414

But that's my, that's my main

cruxes teaching and teaching

:

00:42:22,414 --> 00:42:25,984

people how to monetize their

social media and make money.

:

00:42:25,984 --> 00:42:29,974

I actually, I haven't done anything

with it, but I have a PDF on

:

00:42:29,974 --> 00:42:31,444

how to go viral on Instagram.

:

00:42:31,864 --> 00:42:34,084

'cause I literally was like,

well, this is what I did.

:

00:42:34,084 --> 00:42:36,394

I'll do, I'll put it in

Canva and made it pretty.

:

00:42:36,394 --> 00:42:38,194

And I'm like, I'll do

something with it someday.

:

00:42:38,194 --> 00:42:38,674

I don't know.

:

00:42:39,424 --> 00:42:40,559

Chris: Make a, nevermind.

:

00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,099

I had the word and then it

just slipped my brain, so

:

00:42:44,249 --> 00:42:44,639

Amanda: I'm just kidding.

:

00:42:44,639 --> 00:42:44,849

Went away.

:

00:42:44,939 --> 00:42:45,179

Tyler: Yep.

:

00:42:46,229 --> 00:42:47,279

Use ClickFunnels for it.

:

00:42:47,339 --> 00:42:47,669

Yes.

:

00:42:48,059 --> 00:42:48,299

Yeah.

:

00:42:48,989 --> 00:42:49,619

ClickFunnels is good.

:

00:42:49,709 --> 00:42:49,769

Yeah.

:

00:42:49,769 --> 00:42:53,579

It's a good way to just bring everyone

to where you want them to end up anyway.

:

00:42:53,789 --> 00:42:54,299

Amanda: Oh, that's true.

:

00:42:54,329 --> 00:42:54,629

Tyler: Yeah.

:

00:42:54,779 --> 00:42:55,139

Amanda: Yeah.

:

00:42:55,169 --> 00:42:58,889

I'm working on those backend pieces

now 'cause I'm like, wow, I have this

:

00:42:58,889 --> 00:43:02,399

whole audience of people I should

figure something out with this.

:

00:43:02,549 --> 00:43:02,699

TC: Right.

:

00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:04,889

Amanda: Instead of just videos.

:

00:43:04,919 --> 00:43:07,709

'cause what we learned was if

you're not monetizing your social

:

00:43:07,709 --> 00:43:08,789

media, you're just popular.

:

00:43:09,029 --> 00:43:09,299

TC: Yeah.

:

00:43:09,299 --> 00:43:09,629

Yes.

:

00:43:10,049 --> 00:43:12,269

Amanda: And I'm like, I don't mind

being popular, but I would like

:

00:43:12,269 --> 00:43:14,244

it to make me some money helpful.

:

00:43:14,984 --> 00:43:19,709

So I'm gonna do, I'm gonna take that

whole concept, except I have to figure out

:

00:43:19,709 --> 00:43:22,739

how to change it for a different genre.

:

00:43:22,859 --> 00:43:22,949

Mm-hmm.

:

00:43:23,189 --> 00:43:27,119

Because I know medical and

all of that type of stuff.

:

00:43:27,149 --> 00:43:27,239

Mm-hmm.

:

00:43:27,479 --> 00:43:30,539

And so I started an Airbnb an.

:

00:43:32,024 --> 00:43:35,419

My brain is short circuiting

a not the only one.

:

00:43:35,679 --> 00:43:39,204

An Instagram page for our Airbnb

that we put in our backyard.

:

00:43:39,384 --> 00:43:39,474

Mm-hmm.

:

00:43:39,474 --> 00:43:42,444

And I'm like, I wanna grow this

page, but I just haven't yet.

:

00:43:42,954 --> 00:43:45,624

So I'm like, I'm gonna test this,

make sure like I can do it on

:

00:43:45,624 --> 00:43:49,014

something else before I'm like,

this will work for everyone.

:

00:43:49,344 --> 00:43:49,824

Chris: So.

:

00:43:50,874 --> 00:43:51,414

Totally.

:

00:43:51,534 --> 00:43:54,444

I mean, similar to what you

mentioned Airbnb in your backyard.

:

00:43:54,444 --> 00:43:55,464

Is it like a one bedroom?

:

00:43:55,734 --> 00:43:56,064

It's an

:

00:43:56,064 --> 00:43:56,694

Amanda: Airstream.

:

00:43:57,534 --> 00:43:57,834

Chris: Okay.

:

00:43:58,044 --> 00:43:59,819

Amanda: Like the little I know

someone else that does that.

:

00:43:59,934 --> 00:44:00,174

Yeah.

:

00:44:00,384 --> 00:44:01,434

Silver campers.

:

00:44:01,494 --> 00:44:01,884

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:44:01,884 --> 00:44:02,844

I, I know what air

:

00:44:02,844 --> 00:44:03,444

Amanda: we saw.

:

00:44:03,444 --> 00:44:06,384

So my husband is the guru of this.

:

00:44:06,384 --> 00:44:11,154

He is on unique stays in Airbnb.

:

00:44:11,154 --> 00:44:13,644

He's like, that's, we have an

Airbnb in New York, but it's like

:

00:44:13,644 --> 00:44:15,294

a, it's like a snowmobiling cabin.

:

00:44:15,474 --> 00:44:15,564

Mm-hmm.

:

00:44:16,074 --> 00:44:17,154

It's cute, but it's nothing unique.

:

00:44:17,514 --> 00:44:20,424

So he was like, we need

to only do unique stays.

:

00:44:20,574 --> 00:44:21,444

And I was like, great.

:

00:44:21,444 --> 00:44:24,534

So then he saw, there's another

person, I don't know who she is, but

:

00:44:24,534 --> 00:44:27,894

she has an Airstream in her backyard,

kind of in our same area of town.

:

00:44:27,894 --> 00:44:29,244

And he goes, this thing's crushing it.

:

00:44:29,244 --> 00:44:29,964

We're gonna buy one.

:

00:44:30,744 --> 00:44:31,404

Okay.

:

00:44:31,674 --> 00:44:33,804

So we bought one last February.

:

00:44:34,254 --> 00:44:34,284

Okay.

:

00:44:34,434 --> 00:44:37,254

And we just got it up

and running in December.

:

00:44:38,004 --> 00:44:40,524

And that thing is booked, like

:

00:44:40,614 --> 00:44:41,304

Chris: booked and busy.

:

00:44:41,334 --> 00:44:43,644

Amanda: It's like 80 per, it's

like my new full-time job.

:

00:44:43,644 --> 00:44:44,459

I'm like, I make beds.

:

00:44:44,459 --> 00:44:44,859

That's crazy.

:

00:44:46,219 --> 00:44:49,404

I make this bed every

day and wash the sheets.

:

00:44:50,244 --> 00:44:54,504

Chris: That's like, I forget, like that's

an option is like finding a unique stay.

:

00:44:54,684 --> 00:44:56,664

Like that's the reason why I use Airbnb.

:

00:44:57,084 --> 00:45:01,944

Like me and my friends went to,

uh, Fayetteville for a comedy show,

:

00:45:01,944 --> 00:45:04,884

and I'm just like, this is Airbnb.

:

00:45:04,884 --> 00:45:05,484

I paid.

:

00:45:05,859 --> 00:45:08,439

So much money for is so ratchet.

:

00:45:09,249 --> 00:45:11,224

Amanda: Some of them are,

'cause the people don't care.

:

00:45:11,774 --> 00:45:14,199

Chris: Well, like you could see

where they're like, oh, we're

:

00:45:14,199 --> 00:45:15,459

trying to give you internet.

:

00:45:15,549 --> 00:45:18,939

But they just drilled a hole in the

corner and just ran cord through it.

:

00:45:19,179 --> 00:45:23,349

And like every door in the house

had a no smoking sign on it.

:

00:45:23,709 --> 00:45:25,299

'cause they didn't want

people smoking inside.

:

00:45:25,629 --> 00:45:29,829

And like the shower was so small,

but they didn't put like a glass up.

:

00:45:29,829 --> 00:45:33,759

So they still had a curtain and

it was a single person shower.

:

00:45:33,759 --> 00:45:34,659

So I'm just like,

:

00:45:34,674 --> 00:45:35,319

Amanda: you're like, hi.

:

00:45:35,319 --> 00:45:36,309

I'm touching both sides.

:

00:45:36,789 --> 00:45:38,109

Chris: I'm like, Hey, I'm six feet tall.

:

00:45:38,219 --> 00:45:42,239

I'm I supposed to wash

down on my lights area.

:

00:45:42,299 --> 00:45:43,229

That's not gonna work.

:

00:45:43,679 --> 00:45:44,369

It'd be perfect.

:

00:45:44,669 --> 00:45:44,969

Tyler: I was gonna

:

00:45:44,969 --> 00:45:46,349

Chris: say, yeah, perfect size for me.

:

00:45:46,739 --> 00:45:48,564

Tyler: Tyler sized, but yeah.

:

00:45:48,584 --> 00:45:48,804

No,

:

00:45:49,504 --> 00:45:53,519

Amanda: but yeah, Airbnbs are,

they're, I think because it's so.

:

00:45:54,104 --> 00:45:55,574

Everybody uses it now.

:

00:45:55,814 --> 00:45:59,564

In order to stand out, you have

to do something wild and crazy.

:

00:45:59,894 --> 00:46:02,984

So we're also building a

tree house in Asheville.

:

00:46:04,034 --> 00:46:04,245

Oh, that's neat.

:

00:46:04,250 --> 00:46:04,694

That's my husband.

:

00:46:05,024 --> 00:46:05,864

That's Matt.

:

00:46:06,284 --> 00:46:06,914

That's him.

:

00:46:06,914 --> 00:46:08,354

Chris: I'm down for a tree house.

:

00:46:08,594 --> 00:46:10,844

Amanda: Well, it started out

as a tree house and then we had

:

00:46:10,844 --> 00:46:14,384

to build a bigger house and the

tree house has to be in a DU.

:

00:46:14,984 --> 00:46:15,044

Ah, okay.

:

00:46:15,074 --> 00:46:19,604

Because it was an unrestricted piece

of land, except for this one piece

:

00:46:20,024 --> 00:46:20,504

Tyler: sounds right.

:

00:46:20,714 --> 00:46:21,674

Amanda: This one rule.

:

00:46:21,674 --> 00:46:23,924

I'm like, but we already

bought it and cleared it.

:

00:46:23,924 --> 00:46:25,664

And I'm like, oh, here we go.

:

00:46:25,994 --> 00:46:27,164

So we're building.

:

00:46:27,164 --> 00:46:28,184

We're almost done with that.

:

00:46:28,364 --> 00:46:29,204

Hopefully soon.

:

00:46:29,204 --> 00:46:32,684

And then we're gonna

breathe for a year maybe.

:

00:46:33,824 --> 00:46:33,884

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:46:34,004 --> 00:46:35,114

Please don't start

:

00:46:35,114 --> 00:46:36,284

Amanda: this tree house yet.

:

00:46:36,404 --> 00:46:36,944

So you have to build

:

00:46:36,944 --> 00:46:38,744

Chris: a real house to

then build a tree house.

:

00:46:38,749 --> 00:46:38,859

Uhhuh.

:

00:46:39,044 --> 00:46:39,434

Yeah.

:

00:46:40,304 --> 00:46:42,404

So can it just be like a one bedroom?

:

00:46:42,749 --> 00:46:43,559

It had a square

:

00:46:43,559 --> 00:46:46,529

Amanda: footage requirement on

the ground with the requirement.

:

00:46:46,529 --> 00:46:49,559

So it had to be a minimum

of:

:

00:46:49,559 --> 00:46:52,079

And I'm like, this tree house

is like 400 square feet.

:

00:46:52,079 --> 00:46:53,459

It's like a little hobbit house.

:

00:46:53,789 --> 00:46:53,849

Yeah.

:

00:46:54,029 --> 00:46:54,779

That's like cute.

:

00:46:54,779 --> 00:46:58,109

But it's gonna have like a suspension

bridge to a hot tub platform.

:

00:46:58,109 --> 00:46:58,169

Wow.

:

00:46:58,289 --> 00:46:58,499

Chris: That's neat.

:

00:46:59,099 --> 00:46:59,819

It's fancy.

:

00:46:59,819 --> 00:47:00,539

Amanda: It's gonna be cool.

:

00:47:00,539 --> 00:47:01,469

We, so here's what we did.

:

00:47:01,469 --> 00:47:05,759

We found Airbnbs that were working well in

other states and we literally called them

:

00:47:05,759 --> 00:47:07,229

and we're like, can we buy your plants

:

00:47:08,279 --> 00:47:08,699

TC: smart.

:

00:47:08,699 --> 00:47:08,939

And they

:

00:47:08,939 --> 00:47:10,559

Amanda: sold us their plants.

:

00:47:10,589 --> 00:47:12,839

'cause we're like, we're in one of 'em.

:

00:47:12,839 --> 00:47:15,059

We built in North Carolina

and one of 'em in New York.

:

00:47:15,059 --> 00:47:17,549

And they're like, we're, you're

not my competition and you're

:

00:47:17,549 --> 00:47:19,230

not even in the same area area.

:

00:47:19,739 --> 00:47:21,659

So they sold us their plans.

:

00:47:21,929 --> 00:47:22,379

That's awesome.

:

00:47:22,589 --> 00:47:22,829

Smart.

:

00:47:22,829 --> 00:47:26,159

My lesson is like, just ask people

and they'll probably give you stuff.

:

00:47:26,189 --> 00:47:26,399

Tyler: Yep.

:

00:47:27,389 --> 00:47:28,409

That's what we learned.

:

00:47:28,589 --> 00:47:29,459

And we didn't have to pay

:

00:47:29,459 --> 00:47:31,259

Amanda: $15,000 for these plans.

:

00:47:31,619 --> 00:47:31,709

True.

:

00:47:31,769 --> 00:47:33,569

That the guy poor trial and error paid.

:

00:47:33,749 --> 00:47:34,019

Yeah.

:

00:47:34,019 --> 00:47:35,309

I'm like, oh this works.

:

00:47:35,399 --> 00:47:36,839

Yeah, I'll decorate it the same.

:

00:47:36,869 --> 00:47:37,739

This will be great.

:

00:47:38,519 --> 00:47:40,769

Chris: Is that what you would

tell your younger self if he

:

00:47:40,769 --> 00:47:41,669

had to tell him one thing?

:

00:47:42,509 --> 00:47:44,099

Amanda: Just go do do it.

:

00:47:44,104 --> 00:47:44,314

Yeah.

:

00:47:44,314 --> 00:47:44,994

Just ask people.

:

00:47:44,999 --> 00:47:45,119

Yeah.

:

00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:45,839

Yes.

:

00:47:46,169 --> 00:47:49,049

I feel like I wasted a lot of my twenties

worrying what other people thought

:

00:47:49,049 --> 00:47:54,989

about me and like doing things right

Now I, somebody told me, I was just on

:

00:47:55,019 --> 00:47:58,409

a different podcast last week and she

was like, are you in Enneagram eight?

:

00:47:58,409 --> 00:47:59,879

And I was like, I don't

know how any of those are.

:

00:48:00,539 --> 00:48:01,109

Maybe

:

00:48:01,289 --> 00:48:02,099

Chris: you should do it.

:

00:48:02,189 --> 00:48:03,749

Amanda: So she goes, I think you are.

:

00:48:03,749 --> 00:48:04,349

And I'm like, okay.

:

00:48:04,349 --> 00:48:07,469

So then I go, I ask Chad GBT, I'm

like, what is an Enneagram eight?

:

00:48:07,469 --> 00:48:09,149

And I was offended reading it.

:

00:48:09,149 --> 00:48:09,659

I'm like, that is me.

:

00:48:11,339 --> 00:48:12,354

Oh my goodness.

:

00:48:12,624 --> 00:48:13,234

Read it

:

00:48:13,234 --> 00:48:13,434

TC: down.

:

00:48:13,859 --> 00:48:18,359

Amanda: And her point was, she goes,

you don't give a shit about anything.

:

00:48:18,359 --> 00:48:19,319

And I was like, mm-hmm.

:

00:48:19,709 --> 00:48:20,369

That's accurate.

:

00:48:20,369 --> 00:48:20,789

Valid.

:

00:48:20,879 --> 00:48:21,629

Yes.

:

00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:22,139

Valid.

:

00:48:22,139 --> 00:48:23,249

I don't care.

:

00:48:23,909 --> 00:48:26,369

Chris: I haven't taken that

since we all work together.

:

00:48:26,369 --> 00:48:28,709

I was gonna say, yeah, it's

probably been seven, eight years.

:

00:48:29,189 --> 00:48:35,249

We, so I worked with a really great team

for a while, and one of our coworkers,

:

00:48:35,249 --> 00:48:38,189

Brittany, was like, Hey, we should all

get to know what each other's thing

:

00:48:38,189 --> 00:48:39,599

is so we can work better together.

:

00:48:39,869 --> 00:48:44,909

And she had us, she convinced us to do

the Enneagram and I laughed because at

:

00:48:44,909 --> 00:48:49,619

the time I was a nine, I think, and then

Brittany and Tyler, and I felt bad 'cause

:

00:48:49,619 --> 00:48:53,969

I was the outcast guy because I'm like,

I'm new and I'm like over here by myself

:

00:48:53,969 --> 00:48:55,289

and everybody else is on the other side.

:

00:48:55,649 --> 00:48:59,579

And I'm like, I guess I should

retake it because I, it changes.

:

00:49:00,449 --> 00:49:04,079

I'm also a lot more

sassy than I used to be.

:

00:49:04,079 --> 00:49:04,169

Yeah.

:

00:49:04,349 --> 00:49:06,839

Amanda: Today the eight was very accurate.

:

00:49:07,589 --> 00:49:11,129

I and it all, I don't know if I wanna

go down this story, do it, but we'll

:

00:49:11,129 --> 00:49:12,899

do it anyway because I don't care.

:

00:49:14,614 --> 00:49:15,104

Leaning

:

00:49:15,174 --> 00:49:15,704

Tyler: into the eight.

:

00:49:15,704 --> 00:49:16,104

Let's go.

:

00:49:16,379 --> 00:49:20,699

Amanda: It all started because she

was like, are you ever afraid of

:

00:49:21,449 --> 00:49:24,419

people, like people that troll you

on social media and all this stuff?

:

00:49:24,419 --> 00:49:25,439

And this is always my.

:

00:49:25,799 --> 00:49:28,349

Answer, which then prompts the story.

:

00:49:28,409 --> 00:49:30,029

I go, the F FBI's been to my house.

:

00:49:30,029 --> 00:49:31,859

I really don't care about anything.

:

00:49:32,834 --> 00:49:35,819

Tyler: I don't Oh, I was asked

to ask that question too.

:

00:49:35,879 --> 00:49:37,139

Amanda: Oh, well here we go.

:

00:49:38,399 --> 00:49:39,449

Chris: I'm so excited now.

:

00:49:40,049 --> 00:49:40,469

Amanda: So glad you

:

00:49:40,469 --> 00:49:40,799

Chris: brought up.

:

00:49:40,979 --> 00:49:43,829

Was it like more than one FBI

agent or was it like one guy?

:

00:49:44,159 --> 00:49:45,449

Amanda: It was one guy.

:

00:49:45,449 --> 00:49:46,379

I think it might've been two.

:

00:49:46,379 --> 00:49:47,400

I kind of blocked it out, so

:

00:49:47,405 --> 00:49:48,959

Chris: I'm pretty sure

it's ha has to be more than

:

00:49:48,959 --> 00:49:49,079

Tyler: one.

:

00:49:49,079 --> 00:49:50,009

Amanda: I think it was two.

:

00:49:50,129 --> 00:49:50,309

Yeah.

:

00:49:50,579 --> 00:49:53,039

They also went to my best friend's

house, so I knew it was coming.

:

00:49:53,609 --> 00:49:55,109

Chris: Oh, I also wanna make sure

there were real agents tipped off.

:

00:49:55,109 --> 00:49:55,229

They were,

:

00:49:55,599 --> 00:50:01,659

Amanda: Well, so it all started because

I was present and accounted for on

:

00:50:01,659 --> 00:50:09,429

January 6th in Washington, DC because

I have such distrust in the media

:

00:50:09,489 --> 00:50:12,609

system that I was like, I have to go.

:

00:50:12,999 --> 00:50:13,509

That was lit.

:

00:50:13,539 --> 00:50:13,959

That was me.

:

00:50:13,959 --> 00:50:14,889

I'm like, I have to go there.

:

00:50:14,949 --> 00:50:15,189

TC: Right?

:

00:50:15,279 --> 00:50:17,979

Amanda: And my husband

was like, but by yourself?

:

00:50:18,459 --> 00:50:20,349

I'm like, well, I'm

gonna meet people there.

:

00:50:20,919 --> 00:50:22,809

So I'm only driving there by myself.

:

00:50:22,809 --> 00:50:25,749

He's like, oh, you can't, I

can't even tell you to like,

:

00:50:25,809 --> 00:50:26,529

Chris: oh sweetie,

:

00:50:26,529 --> 00:50:26,979

Amanda: carry.

:

00:50:26,979 --> 00:50:27,069

Right?

:

00:50:27,429 --> 00:50:29,259

Like you bring some mace with you.

:

00:50:29,259 --> 00:50:29,469

Yeah.

:

00:50:29,649 --> 00:50:30,549

And I'm like, okay.

:

00:50:31,329 --> 00:50:35,719

So I drive up to DC and we stayed at

one of my friends' houses who lived

:

00:50:35,779 --> 00:50:38,029

walking distance to Capitol Hill.

:

00:50:38,479 --> 00:50:38,569

Oh wow.

:

00:50:38,749 --> 00:50:40,729

So she was like, come stay at my house.

:

00:50:40,789 --> 00:50:45,529

And what I learned afterwards, which

was really funny, was her husband

:

00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:52,099

was very, very left-leaning and on

the complete opposite side of us.

:

00:50:52,099 --> 00:50:56,899

And he housed us all, set

us dinner, served us wine.

:

00:50:56,899 --> 00:50:58,549

I'm like, this is how America should be.

:

00:50:58,554 --> 00:50:59,004

That's what I'm saying.

:

00:50:59,089 --> 00:50:59,299

I'm like,

:

00:50:59,299 --> 00:51:00,739

Chris: that should be a true, I'm

:

00:51:00,739 --> 00:51:00,919

Amanda: like this.

:

00:51:01,789 --> 00:51:04,369

Oh, I, and I liked him

even more after that.

:

00:51:04,399 --> 00:51:04,999

'cause I was like.

:

00:51:05,704 --> 00:51:07,534

You let us stay all in your house.

:

00:51:07,534 --> 00:51:11,884

My friends from Texas like brought guns

because they just tra they just, they just

:

00:51:11,884 --> 00:51:13,804

are on their body, I guess the Texans.

:

00:51:13,894 --> 00:51:16,504

Tyler: So just an extra

appendage, you know, just an extra

:

00:51:16,504 --> 00:51:16,954

Amanda: appendage.

:

00:51:16,954 --> 00:51:21,634

So I was like, that is really, really cool

of him to let us all stay at his house.

:

00:51:21,634 --> 00:51:26,944

So we go to the, whatever

you call it, rally event.

:

00:51:27,344 --> 00:51:29,409

The gathering of the gathering of people.

:

00:51:29,409 --> 00:51:31,059

Chris: Similarly minded people.

:

00:51:31,089 --> 00:51:31,539

Amanda: Yeah.

:

00:51:31,539 --> 00:51:36,309

Well, I felt like I was on

Forrest Gump is what it felt like.

:

00:51:36,309 --> 00:51:38,169

There was that many people there.

:

00:51:38,679 --> 00:51:39,069

Wow.

:

00:51:39,249 --> 00:51:40,509

The cell phones didn't work.

:

00:51:40,659 --> 00:51:42,819

Yeah, we, there's way too many people, the

office, so there's way too many people.

:

00:51:42,819 --> 00:51:45,099

And then, but we're all like down

the rabbit hole and we're like, they

:

00:51:45,099 --> 00:51:46,719

turned the cell phone towers off.

:

00:51:47,139 --> 00:51:48,759

They don't want us to communicate.

:

00:51:48,759 --> 00:51:52,839

And then, but realistically, I'm like,

there's 2 million people in this one city.

:

00:51:52,869 --> 00:51:54,759

They pro probably overloaded,

:

00:51:54,879 --> 00:51:55,029

TC: right?

:

00:51:55,029 --> 00:51:55,119

Yeah.

:

00:51:55,539 --> 00:51:55,899

Just

:

00:51:55,899 --> 00:51:56,289

Amanda: thinking.

:

00:51:56,289 --> 00:52:00,039

So we had like a rendezvous point where

we're like, okay, if we get separated.

:

00:52:00,399 --> 00:52:03,309

We'll meet at this monument and like

:

00:52:03,309 --> 00:52:04,239

Tyler: inside the rotunda,

:

00:52:06,519 --> 00:52:07,749

Amanda: we're gonna meet over here.

:

00:52:07,989 --> 00:52:11,809

So, so we go through, they

did it was very peaceful.

:

00:52:12,019 --> 00:52:14,299

It, from my experience,

it was very peaceful.

:

00:52:14,629 --> 00:52:19,939

And so then we get up to the

backside of the Capitol building

:

00:52:20,419 --> 00:52:25,519

and it was like a circus, like,

whoa, there is people everywhere.

:

00:52:25,609 --> 00:52:28,939

There was people literally

like climbing up the back.

:

00:52:28,999 --> 00:52:30,259

Chris: Yeah, I saw video of that.

:

00:52:30,384 --> 00:52:31,879

Amanda: And, and there

was people on the top.

:

00:52:31,879 --> 00:52:34,009

They were like, you can use the stairs.

:

00:52:35,779 --> 00:52:39,709

There were around, just go

around and use the stairs.

:

00:52:39,709 --> 00:52:40,969

But there's people climbing.

:

00:52:40,969 --> 00:52:44,089

But what I do remember was, and I

didn't go over here all the way to

:

00:52:44,089 --> 00:52:48,859

the right, there was scaffolding and

they, everybody said to me, don't go

:

00:52:48,859 --> 00:52:50,449

over there unless you have a gas mask.

:

00:52:50,959 --> 00:52:53,479

I was like, who would bring a gas mat?

:

00:52:53,479 --> 00:52:56,494

That was not on my list of things

that I thought I, I would need

:

00:52:57,124 --> 00:52:57,614

Chris: someone

:

00:52:58,764 --> 00:53:01,189

Amanda: like I was, I wasn't aware.

:

00:53:01,219 --> 00:53:01,639

I don't know.

:

00:53:01,669 --> 00:53:03,559

That was not the type

of rally I was going to.

:

00:53:03,559 --> 00:53:07,579

So I'm like, I don't, I I'm gonna

go on this side, the other side.

:

00:53:07,999 --> 00:53:13,419

And so we went and we had walked past the

capitol in the beginning of the day and I

:

00:53:13,419 --> 00:53:15,459

have pictures of both and videos of both.

:

00:53:15,639 --> 00:53:18,369

And the FBI didn't wanna see any

of my videos, which I found to be

:

00:53:18,369 --> 00:53:21,999

strange, interesting since they came

to my house looking for evidence.

:

00:53:21,999 --> 00:53:23,379

And I'm like, I have some for you.

:

00:53:23,379 --> 00:53:23,439

There you go.

:

00:53:23,439 --> 00:53:24,759

And they're like, not that kind.

:

00:53:25,269 --> 00:53:26,019

I'm like, okay.

:

00:53:26,109 --> 00:53:27,909

Chris: Did you take

anything out of offices?

:

00:53:27,909 --> 00:53:28,809

Is what they wanted?

:

00:53:28,929 --> 00:53:31,509

Amanda: Yeah, no, they were actually,

when they were coming for me, they said

:

00:53:31,509 --> 00:53:34,929

that there was bombs still planted in the

capitol and they were looking for them.

:

00:53:35,409 --> 00:53:35,439

Tyler: Oh.

:

00:53:35,619 --> 00:53:36,819

Amanda: And I was like, I

don't, people, they're not

:

00:53:36,819 --> 00:53:37,629

Tyler: in North Carolina.

:

00:53:37,689 --> 00:53:39,429

Amanda: I'm like, I don't

know anything about that.

:

00:53:39,829 --> 00:53:45,079

But what I can tell you is I saw

two men get in a verbal altercation

:

00:53:45,079 --> 00:53:46,939

because I'm pretty sure one of 'em.

:

00:53:47,584 --> 00:53:49,894

Threw a brick into the window.

:

00:53:49,924 --> 00:53:51,514

And that was the one

window that got broken.

:

00:53:51,514 --> 00:53:51,574

Yeah.

:

00:53:51,634 --> 00:53:51,724

Mm-hmm.

:

00:53:51,964 --> 00:53:52,144

TC: So I

:

00:53:52,144 --> 00:53:55,234

Amanda: see a guy wearing, so

everybody's wearing patriotic

:

00:53:55,234 --> 00:53:56,434

colors at this whole thing.

:

00:53:56,524 --> 00:53:56,554

Oh,

:

00:53:56,644 --> 00:53:56,854

TC: right.

:

00:53:57,544 --> 00:53:58,294

Amanda: Makes sense.

:

00:53:58,444 --> 00:53:59,224

We're all patriots.

:

00:53:59,224 --> 00:53:59,584

We're there.

:

00:53:59,614 --> 00:54:00,934

Red, white, and blue everywhere.

:

00:54:01,054 --> 00:54:03,154

But then there's a bunch of

people that are wearing all black.

:

00:54:03,394 --> 00:54:05,074

And I'm like, y'all are suspicious.

:

00:54:05,674 --> 00:54:06,814

You don't match.

:

00:54:07,084 --> 00:54:08,674

I don't know what's going on with you.

:

00:54:08,914 --> 00:54:12,604

So a guy in all black and then

a patriotic guy are arguing.

:

00:54:12,934 --> 00:54:17,314

And I, I wanted to be a journalist when

I was younger and I still get to do this.

:

00:54:17,404 --> 00:54:21,574

So I climbed up on like a, I don't even

know what it was, like a stone something.

:

00:54:21,634 --> 00:54:25,114

And I'm like, recording and they're

like, don't get too involved.

:

00:54:25,114 --> 00:54:26,824

I'm like, I need to get this on footage.

:

00:54:26,974 --> 00:54:27,694

I'm gonna get this.

:

00:54:27,694 --> 00:54:30,274

So I like, I waited until I

was like, I don't know, they

:

00:54:30,274 --> 00:54:31,684

might get into a physical fight.

:

00:54:31,684 --> 00:54:32,614

I better bounce.

:

00:54:32,884 --> 00:54:35,404

So I left and then we all went home.

:

00:54:35,404 --> 00:54:38,464

They put, they put the

city on a 6:00 PM curfew.

:

00:54:38,524 --> 00:54:38,614

Mm-hmm.

:

00:54:38,854 --> 00:54:39,664

So it was like quarter to.

:

00:54:40,234 --> 00:54:40,474

Four.

:

00:54:40,474 --> 00:54:40,564

Mm-hmm.

:

00:54:40,864 --> 00:54:43,714

We were like, all right, let's go back

to Maria's house and eat empanadas

:

00:54:43,714 --> 00:54:45,154

and drink wine and have a sleepover.

:

00:54:45,484 --> 00:54:46,924

We're done with, we're done with this.

:

00:54:47,214 --> 00:54:51,504

And then I just watched the

TV literally do exactly what

:

00:54:51,504 --> 00:54:52,584

I knew what was gonna happen.

:

00:54:52,704 --> 00:54:56,364

I was like, there, I'm like, I was

there that, that didn't happen.

:

00:54:56,754 --> 00:54:58,134

What, where did this come from?

:

00:54:58,134 --> 00:55:01,044

And I'm looking at all of this

stuff on the TV from her house,

:

00:55:01,584 --> 00:55:04,884

like looking at it, I'm like, this

is exactly why I came, because now

:

00:55:05,034 --> 00:55:07,794

I was there with my own eyeballs.

:

00:55:08,004 --> 00:55:08,094

Right.

:

00:55:08,394 --> 00:55:12,204

And that's, that is, that's why I wanted

to leave nursing so that I could go

:

00:55:12,204 --> 00:55:17,184

do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted

and not have to ask anyone except for

:

00:55:17,184 --> 00:55:18,744

I did get a blessing from my husband.

:

00:55:18,774 --> 00:55:18,834

Yeah.

:

00:55:18,834 --> 00:55:19,854

I was like, please, please.

:

00:55:20,694 --> 00:55:22,794

And what he said was, he goes,

you know what's really weird?

:

00:55:23,094 --> 00:55:27,054

All of you women are going up there and

we're all staying home with the kids.

:

00:55:27,144 --> 00:55:28,824

This is a weird switch.

:

00:55:29,844 --> 00:55:29,934

Chris: Yes.

:

00:55:30,144 --> 00:55:31,584

Amanda: And we were like, we have to go.

:

00:55:32,634 --> 00:55:36,864

Chris: No, that's like, I keep telling

my coworkers, they were like, oh, so

:

00:55:36,864 --> 00:55:38,544

and so was mad about this, blah, blah.

:

00:55:38,544 --> 00:55:38,904

And I'm like.

:

00:55:39,234 --> 00:55:41,019

There's three sides to every story.

:

00:55:41,079 --> 00:55:41,499

Mm-hmm.

:

00:55:41,579 --> 00:55:42,864

They're like, where'd you get that?

:

00:55:42,864 --> 00:55:45,714

I'm like, well, your side, their side.

:

00:55:46,224 --> 00:55:46,794

Combine 'em.

:

00:55:46,794 --> 00:55:47,659

You get the truth and

:

00:55:47,659 --> 00:55:47,661

Amanda: the truth.

:

00:55:48,084 --> 00:55:48,444

Yep.

:

00:55:48,654 --> 00:55:50,424

Chris: And they're like, oh.

:

00:55:50,424 --> 00:55:52,554

I'm like, yeah, 'cause I'm not stupid.

:

00:55:52,614 --> 00:55:55,344

I know why this person said this.

:

00:55:55,344 --> 00:55:55,434

Mm-hmm.

:

00:55:55,674 --> 00:55:58,104

Because I, I was there and

saw their point of view.

:

00:55:58,464 --> 00:56:02,334

I saw that person's point of view, just

like if you're chilling at the capitol.

:

00:56:02,604 --> 00:56:04,794

Some of it, most of it was peaceful.

:

00:56:04,854 --> 00:56:07,854

And then there was a gang full of people

that said, you know, fuck this shit.

:

00:56:07,914 --> 00:56:08,154

Amanda: Yep.

:

00:56:09,144 --> 00:56:12,954

And then there was my best friend

who's even more, she's had her

:

00:56:12,954 --> 00:56:16,254

Facebook removed through, she's on

her fourth Facebook in five years.

:

00:56:17,904 --> 00:56:23,214

She was her hu She took over her husband's

Facebook for a solid three years because

:

00:56:23,214 --> 00:56:25,254

she's like, I need this for work.

:

00:56:25,494 --> 00:56:27,444

So you only look at marketplace.

:

00:56:27,474 --> 00:56:28,614

I'm taking over your Facebook.

:

00:56:28,614 --> 00:56:31,554

So she was her husband's

Facebook name forever.

:

00:56:31,554 --> 00:56:36,294

And she, they show up at her house

and with her, they were looking for

:

00:56:36,324 --> 00:56:38,154

evidence of who killed Ashley Babbitt.

:

00:56:38,694 --> 00:56:38,914

TC: Mm.

:

00:56:39,699 --> 00:56:40,419

Amanda: That was the one.

:

00:56:40,449 --> 00:56:43,149

They were like, do you know anything

about who killed Ashley Babbitt?

:

00:56:43,179 --> 00:56:43,959

This is this girl.

:

00:56:43,959 --> 00:56:44,769

This is my best friend.

:

00:56:44,799 --> 00:56:46,299

This is why we get in

trouble everywhere we go.

:

00:56:46,329 --> 00:56:50,529

She says to the FBI that's at her

house while her husband is cleaning his

:

00:56:50,799 --> 00:56:53,949

AR in the other room, just randomly.

:

00:56:53,949 --> 00:56:55,059

That's when they happen to show up.

:

00:56:55,089 --> 00:56:55,809

'cause that's our life.

:

00:56:55,809 --> 00:56:57,834

She goes, do you have TikTok?

:

00:56:58,989 --> 00:57:00,609

And he was like, what do you mean?

:

00:57:00,609 --> 00:57:02,289

She's like, it's all over TikTok.

:

00:57:02,619 --> 00:57:06,489

That's where you can find your information

that you're looking for on TikTok.

:

00:57:06,849 --> 00:57:07,554

Yeah, that's right there.

:

00:57:07,559 --> 00:57:09,159

And they were like, huh.

:

00:57:11,139 --> 00:57:14,259

So that's, that's why I don't

feel like I'm super outspoken

:

00:57:14,259 --> 00:57:15,759

because I am next to that one.

:

00:57:15,789 --> 00:57:17,589

For the last 23 years of my life.

:

00:57:18,759 --> 00:57:19,059

We're like

:

00:57:19,929 --> 00:57:20,709

Tyler: in comparison.

:

00:57:21,159 --> 00:57:22,899

Amanda: In comparison, I'm pretty normal.

:

00:57:23,049 --> 00:57:23,169

Yes.

:

00:57:24,369 --> 00:57:28,629

Tyler: We were talking about going

viral and you being very open-minded

:

00:57:28,629 --> 00:57:30,309

about anything that you're thinking of.

:

00:57:30,429 --> 00:57:32,769

So the things we found

that goes viral for us.

:

00:57:33,064 --> 00:57:33,964

So I'm gonna ask you this question.

:

00:57:33,964 --> 00:57:35,344

What's your favorite conspiracy theory?

:

00:57:35,404 --> 00:57:36,844

Amanda: Oh, don't even really.

:

00:57:37,204 --> 00:57:37,624

Tyler: Sorry.

:

00:57:37,744 --> 00:57:39,214

Amanda: Oh, this.

:

00:57:39,394 --> 00:57:41,674

I wanna have a conspiracy theory night.

:

00:57:42,214 --> 00:57:43,054

Chris: You should.

:

00:57:43,444 --> 00:57:44,404

Amanda: I, I'm, that's

:

00:57:44,404 --> 00:57:45,574

Chris: what your podcast should be about.

:

00:57:45,574 --> 00:57:46,864

The more people that I talk

:

00:57:46,984 --> 00:57:49,054

Amanda: to, the more people are

like, that sounds really fun.

:

00:57:49,054 --> 00:57:50,794

I'm like, this would be great.

:

00:57:50,799 --> 00:57:51,454

Everybody, my wife will

:

00:57:51,454 --> 00:57:51,874

Chris: be there.

:

00:57:51,964 --> 00:57:55,144

Amanda: Everybody comes and you have,

you have to give your own presentation.

:

00:57:55,624 --> 00:57:58,174

So each person picks a topic, a

:

00:57:58,174 --> 00:57:58,984

Chris: conspiracy theory.

:

00:57:59,824 --> 00:58:01,474

Amanda: I saw it on TikTok and

I thought it would be so fun.

:

00:58:01,829 --> 00:58:04,049

I'm like, I could see you

doing, I'm like, I, oh.

:

00:58:04,049 --> 00:58:06,274

Chris: Kinda like back when they used

to do like the girls' nights and every

:

00:58:06,274 --> 00:58:09,814

girl brought like a platter of drinks

that they made, or charcuteries,

:

00:58:10,534 --> 00:58:12,244

Amanda: charcuterie and conspiracy.

:

00:58:12,244 --> 00:58:12,424

Yes.

:

00:58:14,164 --> 00:58:15,304

Chris: Can I tell you my favorite one?

:

00:58:15,424 --> 00:58:15,874

Amanda: Yes.

:

00:58:15,874 --> 00:58:18,844

And then that will let me think

of which direction I want to go.

:

00:58:19,054 --> 00:58:19,114

No,

:

00:58:19,984 --> 00:58:20,134

Chris: no.

:

00:58:20,134 --> 00:58:21,874

I figured you needed a second.

:

00:58:21,874 --> 00:58:22,009

I do.

:

00:58:22,009 --> 00:58:22,504

To think about this.

:

00:58:22,504 --> 00:58:24,334

All right, so there's.

:

00:58:24,859 --> 00:58:25,519

Multiple.

:

00:58:25,969 --> 00:58:27,799

I'm gonna go for the PG version.

:

00:58:28,099 --> 00:58:28,399

Okay.

:

00:58:28,399 --> 00:58:31,099

That's not gonna cause too much

iteration and too much strife.

:

00:58:31,149 --> 00:58:35,079

I believe that glitter

was actually created

:

00:58:37,329 --> 00:58:39,309

Amanda: way for faith

than I'm gonna go down.

:

00:58:40,389 --> 00:58:42,429

Chris: That's so I have

to go funny sometimes.

:

00:58:42,489 --> 00:58:42,844

That's good.

:

00:58:42,844 --> 00:58:43,164

I like it.

:

00:58:43,164 --> 00:58:49,269

So I think that glitter in general is

used by the, the main government to track

:

00:58:49,269 --> 00:58:51,939

people and also protect from tracking.

:

00:58:53,289 --> 00:58:54,249

Because think about it.

:

00:58:54,519 --> 00:58:58,659

How many times do dudes leave the

strip club with glitter on 'em?

:

00:58:59,349 --> 00:59:00,969

You can never get rid of the glitter.

:

00:59:01,029 --> 00:59:03,309

Amanda: No, I glitter in

my house until I moved.

:

00:59:03,489 --> 00:59:06,789

It's probably made its way in my

vacuum cleaner to North Carolina.

:

00:59:06,789 --> 00:59:06,939

There's a

:

00:59:06,939 --> 00:59:09,279

Chris: whole new thing on

TikTok where girls are like.

:

00:59:09,579 --> 00:59:13,059

You know, if you're going out to the

club, just spray yourself a glitter and

:

00:59:13,059 --> 00:59:16,209

guys aren't gonna come hit on you if they

have somebody to go home to because they

:

00:59:16,209 --> 00:59:17,499

don't want to get covered in glitter.

:

00:59:17,649 --> 00:59:21,879

And I'm like, is this really why Bath

and Body Works had glitter body sprays

:

00:59:21,879 --> 00:59:23,739

back in like the early two thousands?

:

00:59:24,519 --> 00:59:24,669

Glitter

:

00:59:24,669 --> 00:59:25,864

Amanda: body spray was So

you sprayed in your hair.

:

00:59:26,859 --> 00:59:28,209

Chris: I worked there when it was out.

:

00:59:28,209 --> 00:59:29,319

It was not cool.

:

00:59:29,709 --> 00:59:30,219

Amanda: No, that was good.

:

00:59:30,219 --> 00:59:31,869

And that's why we all have hormone issues.

:

00:59:32,259 --> 00:59:32,379

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:59:32,379 --> 00:59:32,799

Because we were

:

00:59:32,799 --> 00:59:36,159

Amanda: all at Bath and

Body work dousing ourselves.

:

00:59:36,369 --> 00:59:36,879

Cucumber.

:

00:59:36,879 --> 00:59:37,419

Melon,

:

00:59:38,049 --> 00:59:38,109

Chris: yeah.

:

00:59:38,619 --> 00:59:39,849

Oh, such a good smell.

:

00:59:39,969 --> 00:59:42,369

Amanda: It was, but I'm like,

oh, it smells like where all

:

00:59:42,369 --> 00:59:43,719

my hormone problems started.

:

00:59:44,649 --> 00:59:44,979

Chris: Yeah.

:

00:59:44,979 --> 00:59:45,459

Sounds right.

:

00:59:45,944 --> 00:59:46,064

Probably.

:

00:59:46,484 --> 00:59:46,744

Amanda: All right.

:

00:59:46,929 --> 00:59:47,319

Your turn.

:

00:59:47,469 --> 00:59:50,679

So my turn, I'm gonna, I'm going

down a whole different road here.

:

00:59:50,969 --> 00:59:54,359

But I, and I'm only gonna say

this one because this is my first

:

00:59:54,359 --> 00:59:58,019

rabbit hole that I ever went down

and I was like, oh, everything

:

00:59:58,019 --> 00:59:59,459

I ever thought I knew was a lie.

:

00:59:59,669 --> 00:59:59,819

The moon.

:

01:00:01,109 --> 01:00:01,499

No.

:

01:00:01,559 --> 01:00:02,549

Yes, but no.

:

01:00:02,909 --> 01:00:03,059

No.

:

01:00:03,059 --> 01:00:03,989

I got there afterwards.

:

01:00:04,319 --> 01:00:07,619

I really think that every single person

in Hollywood is a complete pedophile

:

01:00:07,679 --> 01:00:12,029

and they're all trafficking everyone

and is the whole underground cult.

:

01:00:12,029 --> 01:00:15,599

And it's everything that like

is said where people are like,

:

01:00:15,839 --> 01:00:17,009

that's a little farfetched.

:

01:00:17,009 --> 01:00:19,769

I'm like, no, I think it's

exactly fetched all the way.

:

01:00:20,309 --> 01:00:21,719

And that was the first one I went down.

:

01:00:22,589 --> 01:00:25,169

Chris: I mean, that doesn't

seem like very conspiracy to me.

:

01:00:25,169 --> 01:00:28,774

Tyler: I was gonna say, I mean, when

you have like P did now and Epstein,

:

01:00:28,774 --> 01:00:30,149

I know we got Epstein, but when I

:

01:00:30,149 --> 01:00:33,089

Amanda: started going down those

rabbit holes, it wasn't, yeah.

:

01:00:33,089 --> 01:00:38,849

People were, so I got a Twitter

account in:

:

01:00:39,209 --> 01:00:39,479

TC: yeah,

:

01:00:39,599 --> 01:00:40,049

Amanda: that one,

:

01:00:42,089 --> 01:00:44,309

she was like, you have to watch this.

:

01:00:44,459 --> 01:00:47,489

I'm not gonna be only the only

person that's watching Kanye West

:

01:00:47,489 --> 01:00:49,649

lose his mind in Africa on Twitter.

:

01:00:49,649 --> 01:00:50,699

Turn this on right now.

:

01:00:50,699 --> 01:00:51,509

I'm like, yes ma'am.

:

01:00:52,589 --> 01:00:54,239

What are we wa what are we watching?

:

01:00:54,449 --> 01:00:54,839

What's hap?

:

01:00:54,869 --> 01:00:55,589

What's going on?

:

01:00:55,919 --> 01:00:58,829

And I watched that and then

I was like, wait a second.

:

01:00:58,829 --> 01:00:58,859

I.

:

01:00:58,964 --> 01:01:01,094

Oh, is he telling the truth?

:

01:01:01,304 --> 01:01:05,204

So then I start going down, I have

this whole playlist on UT YouTube

:

01:01:05,204 --> 01:01:06,314

that's called The Rabbit Hole.

:

01:01:06,824 --> 01:01:10,154

And like 90% of the videos are deleted.

:

01:01:10,154 --> 01:01:10,514

Mm-hmm.

:

01:01:10,874 --> 01:01:11,624

Tyler: Oh, interesting.

:

01:01:11,669 --> 01:01:12,129

Amanda: I'm like, huh.

:

01:01:12,194 --> 01:01:13,574

I like go back to show somebody.

:

01:01:13,604 --> 01:01:14,954

'cause they're like, oh,

what about this video?

:

01:01:14,954 --> 01:01:18,614

And I'm like, well, it's

gone suspiciously enough.

:

01:01:18,614 --> 01:01:18,974

When

:

01:01:18,974 --> 01:01:19,649

Chris: was it deleted?

:

01:01:19,934 --> 01:01:20,564

Amanda: I don't know.

:

01:01:20,594 --> 01:01:23,804

'cause I don't like monitor

that thing all the time.

:

01:01:23,804 --> 01:01:25,364

So I like go back to find something.

:

01:01:25,364 --> 01:01:28,224

But most of the stuff I remember

I was working I was doing a

:

01:01:28,224 --> 01:01:29,394

travel nursing assignment.

:

01:01:29,724 --> 01:01:34,404

So I had an hour drive to work and

then an hour drive home and then I

:

01:01:34,404 --> 01:01:38,364

would park off of campus because I was

like, I'm not paying you to park in

:

01:01:38,364 --> 01:01:39,774

your parking garage to work for you.

:

01:01:40,164 --> 01:01:40,254

Right?

:

01:01:41,274 --> 01:01:41,634

No.

:

01:01:41,724 --> 01:01:44,004

So I would park like, it

was like a 15 minute walk.

:

01:01:44,004 --> 01:01:46,764

So I had all this time, so I

always had an earbud in and I'm

:

01:01:46,764 --> 01:01:48,174

like listening for two years.

:

01:01:48,174 --> 01:01:49,764

That was all I did was listen.

:

01:01:49,824 --> 01:01:50,904

I'm like, oh my God.

:

01:01:51,549 --> 01:01:52,119

Oh my God.

:

01:01:52,119 --> 01:01:54,939

I, oh my God, I think, I

think I really need God.

:

01:01:55,179 --> 01:01:56,289

I need better find him.

:

01:01:56,499 --> 01:01:59,439

'cause holy cow, this is too much for me.

:

01:01:59,439 --> 01:02:03,999

And I think that's when I started

finding my faith and realized,

:

01:02:03,999 --> 01:02:08,439

'cause I was like, it's a, it's the

devil's playground out here for real.

:

01:02:08,444 --> 01:02:08,584

Yeah.

:

01:02:08,724 --> 01:02:09,144

Chris: Mm-hmm.

:

01:02:10,269 --> 01:02:13,329

It's also why a lot of them

don't live in LA anymore.

:

01:02:13,419 --> 01:02:14,169

Yeah.

:

01:02:14,169 --> 01:02:14,170

Yeah.

:

01:02:15,009 --> 01:02:15,788

Amanda: It's bad.

:

01:02:16,689 --> 01:02:20,679

And then, and now it's mainstream,

thankfully to the Epstein and Diddy.

:

01:02:20,679 --> 01:02:23,464

But I was saying those things

when it wasn't way before.

:

01:02:23,464 --> 01:02:23,744

Yeah.

:

01:02:23,944 --> 01:02:25,584

People were like, you are nuts.

:

01:02:26,204 --> 01:02:27,939

I'm like, yeah, I might be, but,

:

01:02:28,089 --> 01:02:29,829

Tyler: well, you know what

they say, conspiracy theories

:

01:02:29,829 --> 01:02:30,939

are just delayed truth.

:

01:02:31,029 --> 01:02:31,449

Yeah.

:

01:02:32,409 --> 01:02:32,859

So wait, what's

:

01:02:32,859 --> 01:02:33,219

Chris: yours?

:

01:02:33,219 --> 01:02:33,999

You had her,

:

01:02:37,209 --> 01:02:39,099

you're not gonna talk about

like the fact how all the

:

01:02:39,099 --> 01:02:40,749

billionaires in the US own like.

:

01:02:41,094 --> 01:02:43,764

All these random farmlands

and like the highest points.

:

01:02:43,764 --> 01:02:45,024

It's true though, in spots.

:

01:02:45,024 --> 01:02:46,794

So a lot of my like conspiracy theory

:

01:02:46,794 --> 01:02:49,764

Tyler: things that work conspiracies

have like either become true.

:

01:02:49,824 --> 01:02:50,244

Yeah.

:

01:02:50,614 --> 01:02:53,374

I'm just here to just poke poke the bear.

:

01:02:53,464 --> 01:02:53,884

Yes.

:

01:02:53,944 --> 01:02:54,184

Yeah.

:

01:02:54,184 --> 01:02:58,254

I mean, my conspiracy theory that

I had before it became true was was

:

01:02:58,254 --> 01:02:59,904

BlackRock buying all of the houses?

:

01:02:59,964 --> 01:03:00,054

Oh yeah.

:

01:03:00,054 --> 01:03:03,109

I didn't know it was BlackRock at

the time, but I knew it was equity.

:

01:03:03,109 --> 01:03:03,834

Someone was, yeah.

:

01:03:03,834 --> 01:03:06,604

And I was like, see this is the reason why

'cause these people are moving out here.

:

01:03:06,604 --> 01:03:11,674

And so actually to go along with it, I

think parts of it too is people won't help

:

01:03:11,764 --> 01:03:16,114

certain areas get either not gentrified

necessarily, but rebuilt back up.

:

01:03:16,474 --> 01:03:16,504

Mm.

:

01:03:16,534 --> 01:03:19,354

So then they can come in,

buy him piece on the dollar.

:

01:03:19,504 --> 01:03:20,524

Amanda: That makes sense.

:

01:03:20,554 --> 01:03:20,913

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:03:21,184 --> 01:03:23,794

Chris: So, so explain why Flint

still doesn't have clean water.

:

01:03:25,429 --> 01:03:28,579

Tyler: Well, I think they're waiting

fucking Well, I, I, I was debating

:

01:03:28,579 --> 01:03:31,519

if I wanted to go down this because

we're, we're already past our time, so

:

01:03:31,519 --> 01:03:33,589

I was like, how much time do we got?

:

01:03:33,989 --> 01:03:37,109

So actually there is a conspiracy

about that too, about how you can go

:

01:03:37,109 --> 01:03:40,499

in and basically if you pay enough

money to fix everything there,

:

01:03:40,499 --> 01:03:43,719

when the economics makes sense, you

can basically just buy the city.

:

01:03:43,839 --> 01:03:44,079

Yeah.

:

01:03:44,649 --> 01:03:46,209

So that's where that comes in.

:

01:03:46,509 --> 01:03:47,709

But that's insane.

:

01:03:48,069 --> 01:03:48,399

Yeah.

:

01:03:48,829 --> 01:03:51,469

Because there, there's still some,

there's so many, there's still some

:

01:03:51,469 --> 01:03:55,189

cities and counties that if you pay

off, there's not many anymore, but

:

01:03:55,189 --> 01:03:58,519

if you just paid off someone's tax

debt, you could take their house.

:

01:03:58,579 --> 01:03:58,669

Chris: Mm-hmm.

:

01:03:58,909 --> 01:03:59,510

Yeah, I've seen those.

:

01:03:59,515 --> 01:04:00,276

So I've seen that too.

:

01:04:01,454 --> 01:04:02,869

Is that not true in North Carolina?

:

01:04:03,079 --> 01:04:04,219

Tyler: Uh, not in North Carolina.

:

01:04:04,339 --> 01:04:04,939

I looked it up.

:

01:04:11,629 --> 01:04:16,038

Amanda: No, we bought, there's a lemon

of a Airstream that we are cursing

:

01:04:16,038 --> 01:04:17,419

every day, but it's making us money.

:

01:04:17,419 --> 01:04:19,279

So I'm like, Matt, we're in the profit.

:

01:04:19,279 --> 01:04:19,759

It's fine.

:

01:04:19,999 --> 01:04:20,749

Okay, everything's fine.

:

01:04:20,749 --> 01:04:22,219

But he's fisting the toilet in there.

:

01:04:22,219 --> 01:04:23,089

Today was his, you didn't

:

01:04:23,089 --> 01:04:24,949

Chris: put up a day, you

just put a regular toilet.

:

01:04:24,949 --> 01:04:25,009

It

:

01:04:25,009 --> 01:04:26,584

Amanda: has a camper toilet, yeah.

:

01:04:27,409 --> 01:04:27,829

Yeah.

:

01:04:27,829 --> 01:04:32,119

But it was leaking and we're like,

well, it can't leak into my yard, so

:

01:04:32,119 --> 01:04:33,709

we need to do something about this.

:

01:04:33,709 --> 01:04:35,479

So that's been his project today.

:

01:04:37,399 --> 01:04:40,579

Tyler: Then my last question since

Chris subtly stole my other one, and

:

01:04:40,579 --> 01:04:41,929

just, it was such a good transition.

:

01:04:42,034 --> 01:04:43,279

It, it was a great transition.

:

01:04:43,279 --> 01:04:48,089

I give that to you and Mo mostly

just to cause more havoc and chaos is

:

01:04:48,269 --> 01:04:49,889

what's your best unpopular opinion?

:

01:04:50,189 --> 01:04:50,699

Amanda: Oh.

:

01:04:51,839 --> 01:04:55,084

Well, I have a lot of

unpopular opinions, which

:

01:04:55,084 --> 01:04:57,166

Tyler: is probably how you got

the mutual people, which is

:

01:04:57,171 --> 01:04:59,339

Amanda: probably where, how I got here.

:

01:04:59,339 --> 01:05:03,839

But the one that I catch the most

strife for mostly on the internet.

:

01:05:03,844 --> 01:05:04,084

Mm-hmm.

:

01:05:04,304 --> 01:05:06,749

Is that Jesus Christ

is the Lord and Savior.

:

01:05:07,529 --> 01:05:08,038

Tyler: Interesting.

:

01:05:08,038 --> 01:05:08,129

And

:

01:05:08,129 --> 01:05:09,419

Amanda: people don't like that.

:

01:05:09,419 --> 01:05:11,189

And then they, then they don't.

:

01:05:11,369 --> 01:05:15,839

Then they unfollow me, announce

their departure, send me nasty

:

01:05:15,839 --> 01:05:20,729

messages, and I'm like, oh, this

is what he was talking about.

:

01:05:20,729 --> 01:05:21,329

Okay.

:

01:05:21,329 --> 01:05:21,989

I get it.

:

01:05:22,259 --> 01:05:23,429

Still gonna plug him though.

:

01:05:23,669 --> 01:05:23,969

Right.

:

01:05:24,104 --> 01:05:25,439

I'm like, I don't care.

:

01:05:25,769 --> 01:05:31,229

Because I truly think too, that all of the

success that I've had, it has to be Jesus.

:

01:05:31,229 --> 01:05:32,579

There's no other way.

:

01:05:32,849 --> 01:05:35,009

Everybody else is getting

thrown off the internet.

:

01:05:35,369 --> 01:05:36,689

I'm just growing.

:

01:05:36,869 --> 01:05:37,049

Mm-hmm.

:

01:05:37,349 --> 01:05:39,959

Like every single thing,

I'm like, it's gotta be him.

:

01:05:39,959 --> 01:05:41,639

I can't, I didn't do it right.

:

01:05:41,639 --> 01:05:43,049

I didn't give these people to me.

:

01:05:43,049 --> 01:05:46,829

So I just wanna be a good steward

of what I've been given, so.

:

01:05:47,219 --> 01:05:50,519

I'm like, well, what kind of content

are we gonna talk about today?

:

01:05:52,319 --> 01:05:54,239

Tyler: That's crazy too though,

that that's probably one of the

:

01:05:54,239 --> 01:05:56,663

biggest things that people are

unfollowing and getting upset.

:

01:05:56,663 --> 01:05:56,666

I lost

:

01:05:56,729 --> 01:06:02,069

Amanda: 8,000 followers when I openly

talked about Jesus on Instagram.

:

01:06:02,074 --> 01:06:02,344

Crazy.

:

01:06:02,344 --> 01:06:03,839

In like a 36 hour period.

:

01:06:04,499 --> 01:06:05,069

Tyler: Oh wow.

:

01:06:05,069 --> 01:06:05,429

Yeah.

:

01:06:06,119 --> 01:06:09,059

All the things that you could possibly get

banned for, you've never got banned for.

:

01:06:09,059 --> 01:06:11,849

And that's the thing that for

throw, like, God, you know what?

:

01:06:12,569 --> 01:06:13,889

This is too far now.

:

01:06:13,979 --> 01:06:15,059

Like this is too much.

:

01:06:15,059 --> 01:06:15,389

And I'm

:

01:06:15,389 --> 01:06:16,979

Amanda: like, well, I don't know.

:

01:06:16,979 --> 01:06:17,424

Then you're not for me.

:

01:06:17,429 --> 01:06:18,059

This is the most true

:

01:06:18,059 --> 01:06:18,899

Tyler: thing that I'm gonna say.

:

01:06:18,899 --> 01:06:19,229

So

:

01:06:19,559 --> 01:06:19,919

Amanda: yeah.

:

01:06:21,929 --> 01:06:22,349

Chris: Broke it.

:

01:06:22,559 --> 01:06:23,038

Tyler: All right.

:

01:06:23,038 --> 01:06:23,489

Well, well

:

01:06:23,489 --> 01:06:24,329

Amanda: that's our cue.

:

01:06:24,359 --> 01:06:24,449

You

:

01:06:24,449 --> 01:06:25,288

Tyler: wanna know something?

:

01:06:25,799 --> 01:06:28,529

You and Lee are the only ones

that have broke the camera, so

:

01:06:29,849 --> 01:06:31,079

we've broken it multiple times.

:

01:06:31,409 --> 01:06:31,919

Yeah, that's true.

:

01:06:31,919 --> 01:06:33,059

But recently, yes.

:

01:06:33,119 --> 01:06:34,589

Amanda: See, it's 'cause

I talked about Jesus.

:

01:06:34,679 --> 01:06:38,064

See even the camera getting back two.

:

01:06:38,399 --> 01:06:38,939

Tyler: That's right.

:

01:06:38,939 --> 01:06:39,299

That's right.

:

01:06:39,299 --> 01:06:40,019

When it turned off.

:

01:06:41,279 --> 01:06:41,504

You know what?

:

01:06:41,849 --> 01:06:42,029

That's

:

01:06:42,029 --> 01:06:42,689

Amanda: interesting.

:

01:06:42,689 --> 01:06:43,079

Tyler: Yeah.

:

01:06:43,739 --> 01:06:44,369

Internet

:

01:06:46,019 --> 01:06:46,714

Chris: Devil Conspiracy.

:

01:06:47,554 --> 01:06:49,439

Tyler: There's lot of, I was

just say another conspiracy.

:

01:06:49,649 --> 01:06:50,129

Chris: Anyways,

:

01:06:52,199 --> 01:06:53,459

thank you for coming on today.

:

01:06:53,459 --> 01:06:54,419

You, this has been fun.

:

01:06:54,659 --> 01:06:56,669

Sorry, that was all over

the place, you guys.

:

01:06:56,669 --> 01:06:58,288

Amanda: That's how my brain works.

:

01:06:58,288 --> 01:07:01,829

Trump calls it the Weave and I'm

like, that's how my brain operates.

:

01:07:01,829 --> 01:07:03,089

I'm like, yeah, we'll get back there.

:

01:07:03,269 --> 01:07:04,139

It'll come back some point.

:

01:07:05,744 --> 01:07:08,429

Chris: Well, the weave,

I call it the pattern.

:

01:07:08,849 --> 01:07:09,569

Amanda: Pattern weave.

:

01:07:09,569 --> 01:07:09,599

I

:

01:07:09,599 --> 01:07:10,799

Chris: mean, if you, but

:

01:07:10,889 --> 01:07:13,439

Amanda: pattern, if you're my

daughter, that's how she pronounces it.

:

01:07:14,714 --> 01:07:15,234

Chris: I love it.

:

01:07:15,659 --> 01:07:20,309

If people want to follow your

craziness and fun at the same

:

01:07:20,309 --> 01:07:21,299

time, where can they find it?

:

01:07:21,449 --> 01:07:23,038

Amanda: Instagram and Facebook.

:

01:07:23,609 --> 01:07:27,089

I'm more fun on Instagram because

the Facebook people make me not fun.

:

01:07:27,419 --> 01:07:27,749

Ah,

:

01:07:28,709 --> 01:07:30,899

Tyler: you're the

uncensored nurse on both.

:

01:07:30,904 --> 01:07:31,074

Both.

:

01:07:31,199 --> 01:07:31,439

Okay.

:

01:07:31,499 --> 01:07:31,799

Amanda: Yep.

:

01:07:32,399 --> 01:07:33,179

Tyler: Noise.

:

01:07:33,419 --> 01:07:33,929

Noise.

:

01:07:34,049 --> 01:07:35,672

Well, thank you for coming on and

letting Well, thanks for having me.

:

01:07:35,677 --> 01:07:38,579

Let take an hour and 10 minutes

of your life on a Sunday.

:

01:07:39,029 --> 01:07:39,479

No, that's fine.

:

01:07:40,139 --> 01:07:40,499

Just gotta

:

01:07:40,499 --> 01:07:41,339

Amanda: go finish my.

:

01:07:41,534 --> 01:07:43,304

Sourdough cinnamon buns.

:

01:07:43,544 --> 01:07:44,474

Tyler: Ooh, good luck.

:

01:07:44,564 --> 01:07:45,163

Chris: Have fun with that.

:

01:07:45,524 --> 01:07:45,734

Yeah.

:

01:07:46,094 --> 01:07:48,344

Hopefully they're better

than sourdough sugar cookies.

:

01:07:48,374 --> 01:07:48,913

I hope so.

:

01:07:49,544 --> 01:07:52,394

And this is why I haven't

gone down the sourdough route

:

01:07:52,514 --> 01:07:52,964

Amanda: Bread.

:

01:07:53,024 --> 01:07:53,594

Perfect.

:

01:07:54,044 --> 01:07:55,844

Other things, sometimes weird.

:

01:07:55,994 --> 01:07:58,694

Chris: Why does it take eight

hours to make cinnamon buns?

:

01:07:58,724 --> 01:08:00,404

Amanda: Because you has to rise.

:

01:08:00,404 --> 01:08:01,964

It's like a whole rising thing.

:

01:08:01,964 --> 01:08:03,644

And the rising is what takes forever.

:

01:08:04,394 --> 01:08:06,074

'cause it's naturally fermenting.

:

01:08:06,479 --> 01:08:06,699

Tyler: Oh,

:

01:08:07,874 --> 01:08:09,044

Amanda: it's a whole sourdough thing.

:

01:08:09,224 --> 01:08:11,144

I put active yeast in

there to speed it up.

:

01:08:11,324 --> 01:08:13,784

Chris: Ah, cheat code.

:

01:08:13,994 --> 01:08:15,044

There's some things in life.

:

01:08:15,044 --> 01:08:15,794

I'm just gonna, only for you

:

01:08:15,794 --> 01:08:17,444

Tyler: people that have stayed

this long in the podcast,

:

01:08:17,624 --> 01:08:19,964

Chris: I'm just gonna, I'm just

gonna let my friends do it.

:

01:08:19,964 --> 01:08:20,564

And I'm like, sure.

:

01:08:20,564 --> 01:08:21,884

I will reap the rewards.

:

01:08:21,974 --> 01:08:22,334

I'm not,

:

01:08:22,453 --> 01:08:25,484

Amanda: well next time I come I'll

bring you some sourdough cinnamon rolls.

:

01:08:25,663 --> 01:08:26,084

Tyler: Awesome.

:

01:08:26,084 --> 01:08:26,413

Sounds good.

:

01:08:26,413 --> 01:08:29,533

I'm, thank you so much for coming on.

:

01:08:29,774 --> 01:08:29,924

Thanks

:

01:08:29,924 --> 01:08:30,434

Amanda: for having me.

:

01:08:30,493 --> 01:08:30,913

Tyler: Yes.

:

01:08:31,274 --> 01:08:31,904

Have a good one.

:

01:08:31,993 --> 01:08:32,533

Cheers.
