: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.

00:31:51,434 --> 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

:
00:32:08,349 --> 00:32:08,589
Chris: Right.
:
00:32:08,619 --> 00:32:11,649

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

Tyler: Yes.
:
01:08:31,274 --> 01:08:31,904
Have a good one.
