And Madonna with the confessions on the dance floor. Love it. She's coming. And with a collab with Grinder. And now she knows her audience. She does. Yeah. She knows what her own. I do too. Yeah. Same. So what is this collab about? You choose an album. It's a it's your choose your own adventure with Madonna. Okay. So when you go in, you select. Yes. I love it that I love that song. Yeah. So when you go in, you got the selection of like your like two things. Christina didn't do this. No. You can change your wallpaper of when you share it with a Madonna background. And also you can change your shime. Okay. Your what? Your shime, like your I'm probably saying it's wrong. Your shime. Okay, yes. Your notification. Your notification. A message. Yes. That we used to have with uh Christina with like the one that we don't know. And it's also an airwick commercial. Oh god, she wants to plug airwick. It's a non, it's a non-spawn. Because every night I watch TV and it's constantly on CNN commercials. Let's just wrap it up. Going back to Madonna. Right. So the good thing about it is like there is about 10 different songs that you can pick from. Wow, I love it. Like a virgin. Yep. I mean, she's born for grinder. For grinder. Yes. Like a prayer. Like so you can pick whatever song you feel like it. Papa don't preach. I love it. So it's really just on the dance floor. With it. I love it. And that must be why I'm seeing all the headlines that she was on some confessions episode, which I don't know what that is, but saying they have a podcast. Randy has a podcast. That JFK Jr. was like the best guy she's ever been with. She says best sex. Yeah. Wow. I mean, she's gone out with like my top guys JFK Jr., Michael Jackson. Warren Beatty. Is what he well, I probably would have dated him. Yeah. I'd go on a date with him. Warren Beatty. He was like No idea. He's a little older. You don't know Warren Beatty is. He was in um well. He's been in a lot. He was in a movie with Madonna, the animated Jessica Rabbit was in it. Is that right? Dick Dick Tracy was a Dick Tracy. Dick Tracy, yes. It was Dick Tracy. So he was the lead in that. And then they started. That's where they started. Have you never seen um Truth or Dare? Oh my god. Is it a movie? Yeah. It's a doctor was like what started reality TV. We talked about how like the new stars are putting it all out there. She was the first. She was a trailblazer and she put out Truth or Dare, and it was like a behind the scenes documentary about her tour. And it was amazing. It was very amazing. Yeah. Eye-opening, like she was vulnerable, all the things. Yes. And Warren was in there and refused to kind of talk. It was a whole like little snippets. Because they were record they were filming Dick Tracy or had just filmed it and when she was doing this too. I think he was a little like shy too. Yeah, it was the blonde ambition tour, I think. I think it was. Yeah. I think that mother stays mother and she knows. Well, if you're gonna call her mother, you need to watch Truth or Dare. I mean I will watch it. And Slippers, if you haven't seen it, it is a must-must watch. Okay. You will love it. Yep. I uh great.

Getting Banned Then Back On Grindr

And I'm FYI. I'm on back on grinder. Oh, I was gonna comment. Are you allowed back? That's amazing news. What happened? What do you mean? Well, you were kicked off. You got banned. Did you find out why? No. And I This happens to a lot of people. I think it was revenge. It was revenge, I think. Ask me. What do you mean, revenge? Well, I don't think I did anything wrong on Grindr, but all of a sudden I was banned, and then I try they gave me protocol on how to figure out what was ha what had happened. They gave you the T. Like, here's what you do, and I did it, and I get no response. I feel like somebody was upset with me in terms of like I didn't give them their proper attention or so you can because you can report anybody. No, yeah, exactly. Like on an app or in real life on the app, yeah. But in real life, too. You like you can make an accusation and it doesn't necessarily have to be true. Yeah. And then they have to investigate. Well, Grinder doesn't have a very big department, I don't think, in that investigation. Well, obviously. Because I tried them like, tell me what I did. And like, I don't how long have you been off Grinder? Like five years. Oh, wow. So it's a whole new world for you now. And you've got the Madonna collab. Listen, I'm back. Pride is going to be so much different for you. Tomorrow? Tomorrow. Tomorrow's gonna be busy. Oh my God. Those notifications. Madonna is going to be doing her whole playlist. I got I got on today. Oh, and for the fans. You got some action? Yep. I got some biz. So what's your Madonna album that you're picking or song? It's a song. A song. Well, I probably true to form, I would go with Like a Prayer. I don't know if it fits for that occasion, but that's my favorite. What about you? Unfortunately. Sorry. Go for it. I did say this before and it works here. This used to be my playground. Oh my God. You can't make it. You can't make it up. You can't make this shit up. I'm sure that used to be my playground. I get it. Okay. What's yours, JJ? I was going to say because you unfortunately, La Isla Bonita is not there. Thank God. I hate that Madonna. So I would go with like a prayer. It's like my favorite. Good to know. Now I'll be clocking these grinder notifications. But I will change it from week to week. It's a full-on like Pride Mono. Let me just say anytime I hear Madonna coming from anyone's phone around me, I'm gonna be clocking. Pride month has turned into Pride Summer, at least around Michigan. Like the cities that are doing Pride extends well beyond 100% June. So you we got we can go through her whole collection. You know, now that you say that, Matty, yes, it is beautiful to know that kind of like you would just with what you're saying there, like it just stopped me for a little bit. It is beautiful that, especially like we've really had a shitty weather spring and start of whatever this is. May was a mess. It's beautiful to know that summer really starts with pride. Yeah, it begins and ends with us. 100%. And I I just love that. Like we make the straights enjoy the summer. Well, or pick it. Whatever you guys want to do. Yeah. We don't mind. We keep it. Before we move on, we carry on. We got Madonna, we love her, but we won't before we move on, you know, guys, I have something for you.

Voicemail Debate Best Fast Food Fries

Oh, okay. We got we got our voicemail. Oh, I love it. I love it. The slippers, the slipper, the slippers. I mean, I can even speak. You're so excited. I'm so excited. The slippers are like coming in. I love it. And we have a we have a color. I love it. Um, and if you do have mine too. Listen, if you have a topic, a message, uh something that you want to share with us, we encourage you to call us. Absolutely. What's the number, Megan? 313-444-9004. Call us anytime, day or night. Text us. It all works on that number. Okay. You guys ready? Yeah, I can't wait to hear it. Hey girls. It's Nick. Long time listener, first time caller. I love it. Um, so your JJ's recent technique, the buy it or deny it on the food trends on your recent episode, had me thinking of a debate that I commonly have with my friends, which is which fast food place has the best French fries. So let me know what you guys think. Oh, he mentions JJ, but this is a question for vegan. What you're a fast food efficient. This is this is interesting. Do you have an answer? Oh, I know exactly what I'm McDonald's. Really? Yeah. I mean, he starts by MacDonald. Not Mick. McDonald's. McDonald's. Is that McDonald's? I know some people that say McDonald's. I know some people that say MacDaddy. Daddy Mac. Yeah. Okay. I say or Mickey D's. But this is not the topic. Do you say Mickey D's? No, never. I'm with you. I really. There are fries that come and go. Yeah. But I feel like I'm always going to gravitate. And I don't eat a lot of fast food disclaimer. Oh, I don't either. But when I do, I would gravitate towards a McDonald's french fries. Over there is. Tell me the closest competition. I don't know. Okay. I wish that there was. I wish that there was. I can remember of the name. There is a brand that does frozen french fries that are very similar to McDonald's fries. You mean at the grocery store? At the grocery store? I think you're talking about fast fries from Orida. Really? Ding ding ding ding ding. Call us. Oh, really? Yeah, but McDonald's is like my. I mean, we already talk about my issue with uh 20-piece McDonald's. We know about your nugget, love. It's a slippery skin. So do you do a 20-piece nugget and a fry? I always do a large fry. Oh. Do you supersize it? Yes, 100%. Do you do that in hotel lobbies? Funny story. Like on the way back from our Memorial Day weekend vacation, we stop at McDonald's. Oh, you do. I order a Mexican and a large fry. Always a large fry. Wow. Yeah. And so what is your so okay? I do think a McDonald's fry is good, but I don't know. Those curly fries at Arby's with the cheese cups or a little cheese dough. I didn't even think about that. Curly fries. Yes. Well, hold on. Now I feel like we might need to segment the conversation because I agree, but like it's hard for me to compare a curly to like a standard fry. So like there's curlies, there's steaks, there's strings, chew strings. There is the waffle fries from waffles. I think I hate to do anything relating to Chick-fil-A, especially Pride Month. Yeah, I wouldn't either. But I might pick that one. You might try. You might toe tip in August in August. Over a McDonald's fry. Really? Over. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I don't know. I don't know. Like it's a great question. Like, what are your top three fries? No. No? I don't think that we need that stop top three fries. Well, I've basically mine would be uh Chick-fil-A, Arby's, and McDonald's. Oh, Arby's. Well, Arby's has McCurly. I'm not. I just wouldn't have put it first. She kind of Maddie? No, I'm not involved. Well, what are your top three? I'm not. You're doing burger. I think that I'm going to do no, never. Um I'm going to do McDonald's, Arby's, and Arby's. We've got them. I'm not going to do chickfuckers. I know. They but they do have a good fries. What about it? I got it, get it. Savvy sliders. They have a goose season. They have a waffle. No, not a waffle. Like the ones that are like wavy. How do you call those from? Crinkle. Crinkle. Crinkle. Yeah, I'm not a fan of crinkles. I know. Same. I don't I'm not a big fan either. I would go McDonald's, uh, steak and shake. Steak and shake. I don't even remember. Yeah, they have the few and far between. Steak and shake. All right. You tell me where there's a steak. Where's there a steak and shake by you? Madison Heights. Okay. Close to the Meyer, I go to. That's by the road. I don't even want to dignify it with a third fry. I'm out. I'm done. God, I can't. Well, I mean, a steak and shake. Move on. Let's move on from the fry. Thank you, Nick. Thank you, Nick. I loved it. It is for a lot of commentary. It really is. It is great. And I'm probably going to think about it some more because I really want Chick-fil-A on. Oh. Hydrogen. Yeah. But how awful guys are. Well, why don't you slip in a steak and shake? Oh, they're hard too hard to find. Just like a Chick-fil-A is on a Sunday. All right. They're not open. Moving on. Moving on. I know.

Gen Z UV Apps And Tan Lines

All right. I have a hot tea topic. Okay. Oh, we're coming in from a hot topics episode. Well, I have a hot summer topic. Oh. I am so glad you for summer. One of my biggest sources. Shout out to the today show. Oh watching the TV. Savannah. Savannah, love it. Craig Melvin, love it. I love me some craig. Here we go. Here's what they're saying. It was Thursday or Friday. The teens, the Gen Zen Z again. They're all thank you for supporting us, Gen Z. They are tracking UV rays. Okay. Bear with me. It's a little bit of a I'm going to take you on a journey. I think there's apps, there's trackers. Here's the story. All of a sudden, tan lines are in. And okay. It's just a complicated topic because this girl on the Today Show said on air, giggly, giggly, giggly, I was gonna go to the mall with my girlfriend. We had plans, like girlfriend isn't friend. That's not the topic here. No, I was gonna go to the uh mall, and then I got on and I checked the UV tracker, and the UV tracker was at a six. I canceled plans with my friends. I set up shop in my backyard for six hours to get uh sunburnt so that I could then have tan lines and like be at school, be at my social events with a hot tan line. No you no sunscreen, actually the opposite. Uh they the interview continued. They were wearing like uh oils and things to enhance it, which is flashbacks to like uh my parents any anyway, it just is disturbing to me as somebody that has went through and gained some knowledge about it. Like it's always a big trend. I have two follow-up questions. Okay, I didn't even know that there was a UV tracker. I think it's in any weather app. Really? But it is, however, probably buried deep. Now it's forefront. Now there are apps you can do like UV tracker. So to your story, it says that you the UV tracker was at six. What does that even mean? I'm not sure. Well, I'm not sure. But I think that proves it means there's good side. I think by that by the fact that from one to ten, the fact that you're asking that question kind of proves my point. Like, I don't know what that means. She saw it and she's like, cancel my plans, I'm out. So it must mean high intense sun race. I would assume. Which I mean, honestly, like I don't fault her for it because I like to get a good tan going too. Especially if you're in Michigan, we know that it's slim picks. Yes. Okay, well, so you two are in favor of youth. I love a good tan line. Well, the tan line thing, it's funny that you say this because I had noticed recently on the red carpets and stuff, a couple times I saw girls with tan lines. And I'm like, that's odd that they didn't like cover it up or makeup. Blue Ivy and the Met Gow. Yeah, the Matt. So I didn't know it was in one. I think it was Sydney Sweeney or something, maybe um, yeah. But I have to say, in kind of defense of Blue Ivy, like their tan line was a subtle timeline. Tan line is it was not like a like full-on mark timeline that she was at Rivera Maya. It's still there, it still looks bad. It looks tacky. Well, not to the Den Zoom. Well, and that's what I didn't realize that they are embracing. And they also need to understand the damages that that they're that's causing, too. Well, okay, you can't have it both ways, my friend. Yes, you can. You can. Yes. Okay, well, then you can just do it with a spray tan. Okay. Yeah. I agree with that. I am a big supporter of spray tans, but I'm also a big supporter of getting a real tan in the summer. And I safely, or how do you go about it? How do I go about it? Um, I lay in the sun. I usually complicated this. I mean, I'm asking what's going on. Well, and I so I usually for the first for the first 45 minutes to an hour, I do no SPF except my face. Oh, I always have it on my face. No SPF on my body, and then I will apply different levels of SPF on my body after that. But I want to get all the vitamin D I can. You are unprotected. Yes, you're doing unprotected sun sex for 45 minutes. To an hour. To an hour. And you think SPF. No SPF. Except face. Do you think we should run a warning under our pod like to say like Surgeon General does not recommend? Surgeon General has nothing to do with it. No. No. I you don't think I'm not going in a tanning bed. Tanning beds are where the real danger lies. Yes. So a single tanning bed session increases your chances of developing melanoma by 20%. They are considered the high level one carcinogen. I don't deny it, but also laying out in the sun. And listen, what you're doing and what they're doing is probably a little different. You are going out in the sun. They are all they are going out for like six hours, and they are put. And they're putting like crystal oil. Well, I did that in my teens. I don't do that now. Sisters used to put um baby oil or Coca-Cola. Oh. Coca-Cola. They will make you toaster. Well, that seems like you'd be tracking a lot of bugs. Yes, 100%. But that's gonna bring the bugs. No, not at all. I would like to do it. Not in Spain or Puerto Rico. No in the aunt. That's a sticky sitch. Yeah. Sticky sitch. I'm out. I have to say that on like my ex-mother-in-law. Yes, I was married once. To a woman. Um she used to have a full old lamb that she will lay on it. Oh, a lamp, yeah. Yes, I got like a tanning bit lamp, like her own that she will lay on it like for a couple hours. Well. Just to get a little bit of a big thing. Yeah, the tanning. I mean, it's yeah, bad. Well, I um kind of fainted in a stand up tanning bed in high school, and then I kind of stayed away. I had a friend that had a face tanner in high school and said, and he was. He said Hungarian. And he's like, he said, you should try this. Yeah. I'm clearly as Caucasian as it comes. Yes. I did 10 minutes Tuesday at school. I was blistered in red. Oh my God. I didn't. Wow. So I did not like it. Well, I went skiing in high school, and it was a sunny day in Colorado. I had no sunscreen on my face. My whole face got all blistered, and I have a weird thing on my nose from it. Still to this day. Yet you're like, I support 45 minutes, no protection. I'm not out in the sun and the snow. That's completely different. And I said I always put it on my face. All right. So I like to get a little tan and I want to get my vitamin D levels up. So I purposely want bear skin to soak in that vitamin D. Can I just say though? You can. That as the um official brown person in the room, that those like no no need of the tanning and the spray tans and all that, I remember there was like one day probably last year, I walked into a Lululemon nearby in a city nearby here. And when I went into the cashier, she was like, you know what? When you walked in, I was going to ask you what level of tanning did you go? Because that is the color I want. Oh wow. Wow. Which I it seems I feel like that is Did you like that question? I I was very like, I don't care about it. But my friend My friend was really not having it. Like she's like, she was the one that like chime in and says, like, he was born with this same color. Which I appreciate that. Yeah, I was born that way. But I I I was. And I I didn't even clock it into like she said that. And I'm like, I love like I remember like my mom was to say, You're olive. You she said, You are olive's color. Like she would love that. I Jones for Olive. I've always wanted to have olive skin. Yeah, she would always say that to me. She's like, You such an olive skin. If I can't be olive, I at least want olive on me. So my God, that's ridiculous. It's in my grinder profile. Oh, Jesus. But I was just thinking it's it's interesting to hear you both talking about it because I've never, and I I think that that's going to be a little bit of a controversy. I've never even used like sunblock lotion. And now that I'm ever wow older, I need to just like start doing it. I think you should embrace it. Yeah. I mean, like, don't take it from me, just read a periodical. Yeah. I mean, within 15 minutes, regardless if it's sunny, hazy, Michigan, Puerto Rico, it's not great for you. But I mean, like, I love I know that we all want to be sun-kissed, and we all, vitamin D is a real thing. Yes. It is. And I'm not here to push an agenda. I'm just saying, you know what? You do you. Just be informed. Yeah. 100%. P S A. Well, and my PSA is get a little sun on your bare skin before you put your own. And Megan shared with us an article. I can't recall right now where this article was coming from. UCLA. Oh, USLA. That that doctors were comparing. And I I testified to this. There are. You testified? Well, I kind of I don't know what the word is, but I I can just attest to it that he they were comparing like Miami sun is not the same as Michigan sun or Boston Sun. Oh, Puerto Rico sun. Like I we were in Puerto Rico together. And I mean, after an hour or two, we're like, we need to get out. Correct. Well, yeah, of course it's different. And I think that also, like, if you're laying out. I just don't think it's same. You're laying to get the sun in your backyard versus a beach in Cancun. Yes, correct. It's completely different. Completely different. And you know, based off your sentiments today, I'm gonna really be monitoring you this summer if I see you out laying out in the sun. You won't see me laying out in the sun. So what are you gonna do at a pool? You're gonna be covered up? I'm gonna be sitting in a lounge talking to you guys. I'm not gonna sunbathe. You will not find me sunbathing. Have I ever? Yes. Yes, I lies. I've participated in events with you which were outdoors in the sunny weather by a pool, but I am not I'm not baking in the sun. I have pictures of you laying on. Sure, I'm sure you do. No, you do not. That is a blatant line. Do you remember? Surface it. Surface it. Do you remember the bathing suit you have that matched your towel? Oh. Well, so I posed for a photo. No, you were laying perfectly lined up with his line. Was it a speed-up? It was not a speed-up. This is made up news. No, it's not. I said. JJ, how long have you known me? For a few years. And we dated more than 15 years. For eight years. Six. Whatever. You go from six to eight. It's a blurry. Yeah. But COVID was in there. So have you ever never ever been like inconvenience? Get out. Because Maddie wanted to get a tan. No, never. Or lay out in the sun. Never. Never. Never. You've seen him lay out at a pool. Have you? Answer that. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. You've seen layout for the fact of laying out? Several vacations where you have been laying out just to get some sun. Yeah. Maddie, you told me this past week, you told me. You told me. I don't know if I'm ready or not for pride. My legs need some sun. I said it's funny you say it that way. The way I said it was, these legs have not seen the sun this summer yet. And I will be all at the end of the day. Your sons are ready. Your legs are ready. Maybe you need a spray tan, and then it solves all your problems. Yeah. All right. I think the I think the listeners are tired of the table. I don't think they are. Well, I'd like to get their opinion. I do too. Well, let us know. Are you a sunbather or not? I will say, yeah, 100% I am. And I recently had a skin check by a board-certified dermatologist. Here we go. Who said I had the skin of a 35-year-old and it looks great. Check her license. And you look amazing. No signs of melanoma, no signs of basal cell or squama cell carcinoma. So oh wow, you're even the big part. Mom, I was concerned because my parents both had basil cell and squama cell, and my cousin and uncle both had melanoma. Did you leave and smoke a pack of cigs? No, I've never been a smoker. But the sun, no, a tanning bed is the high-level carcinogen, not the sun. Yeah. Okay. Can we move on from this? Fair enough. Yeah.

Peonies Kintsugi Bugs And Brain Fog

I can start. Um, so my slip it in, and I think I've said this probably a year ago, is the peonies are out and I'm loving it. They're all over my yard. I have several peony bushes, except one isn't blooming because the doctor cut it too short at the end of the summer and it's pride. Peonies are out here too. Oh, yes. But I have a little PSA. If you're cut any of your peonies or you buy peonies at Trader Joe's or somewhere else, and they're not opening, take that peony, run it under a warm water, the ball. You run the ball under warm water. You're not you're not making a connection. She's talking, okay, the peonies in the most you take the ball of the peony, the bloom ball that's not opening, run that under warm water, and then you'll notice it will bloom like within 12 hours. That peony. I don't have that kind of justice. I wouldn't advise massaging it too much because you'll affect the petals of your peonies. The petals. Oh, you're catching on. So anyway, I had bought some peonies. Only one bloom. I don't know. Others were all my peonies. Well, I had to do some water running with my I love that you say that because this past week I saw them, as you said, and say they joke. They're all tight balls. And I and I bought myself some peonies. You run them under a warm water. They're not blooming. Forget every year. Oh, how beautiful. How beautiful and the smell. Yeah. Like waking up to that smell. Yeah. It's beautiful. Of peonies, yeah. Like right about it. Undernews. What's your pull out? So my pull it out. It's it had to pull it out and then it kind of became a leave it in. Oh. Anyway, it's I was at the store looking for these um high noon teas that Maddie introduced me to that I'm now borderline upside. Which you're a very slipped in about. Yes. I couldn't find any of the boxes for whatever reason. But in the like cooler, they had the big, tall, high boy ones. And I'm like, oh, I'll just buy a couple of those. Well, they have a really crazy top on them, which is like I couldn't open them. Yeah. And so I'm not a big thing. Maddie was with me. And he opened the one, the first one, and it kind of broke. Maddie was able to open it up. But then when we realized he opened it wrong, it kind of broke it. Because they've got this blue top that you can just it's just a seal. You can reseal it. That's the dream. You can open it and reseal it and then have more later. Yeah, they have the moment conservanious. I thought it was a pull it out, but actually, when we opened it properly, you realized it was called. I would call it a live it in. It is complicated to open, but a blessing to save for later. Well, and us two idiots didn't actually look at the can that had the instructions on how to open it. Well, I was like, And then I started looking at the can. I'm like, oh, well, you know what? They do give you instructions on how to open it right on the top of the can. So I actually advocate for this newfangled lid that you can open and then reseal once you learn. Well, then why didn't you open it? Exactly. This is another thing. This is another line. Well, you see us. You didn't ask me. I was not even part of it. I was just doing You were in the room. Exactly. You clearly saw us struggling. And tell us where else you saw. I mean, sometimes I do like to see you guys struggle. So he's sitting there laughing at us. Liza Manelli. Listen, it's also the podcast. Well. Do you want me to go? Oh, go. I always go third. Go for it. Okay. My slip it in is Kitsucci. I learned about that. So this is something I learned about on the podcast of Amy Poehr's Good Hang. She had Carrie Washington on. And Amy asked her, like, what do you think? Shout out to Good Hang, though. It's like one of my favorites. Shout out Scandal. She was interviewing Carrie and she asked her a question of like, what do you like do for fun or whatever? And she said, I love Kitsuji. Kitsuji. Kinsuchi. Kinsuji. And it is when something breaks in your house that is like pottery or um ceramic or something of that nature. Glass. Yeah, glass is dicey. As I learned. But instead of throwing it away, glue it back together, but make the glue part obvious and use gold to glue it back together. Hence what I created here. Look at that. This is a kemsushi. So this was not broken before, and then it was broken. And then I glued it back together. It's a new design. And it's like now it's beautiful like it is beautiful. Embrace, yeah. I think the concept is just because it broke doesn't mean you have to discard it. No. Embrace the beauty, put it back together, and it becomes more beautiful. Yeah. Because it has character. So did you purposely break it? Yeah, I did. I did. Well, that's kind of weird. Well, I did it because I learned I learned about it, and then I'm like, let me test it out. In fact, in at Memorial Day weekend, I had a challenge with, you know, I'm a thrifter. We went thrifting and I said, your challenge is to buy an item from a thrift shop because I don't want anyone spending a ton of money that you're going to break something with. And I gave some like, here's the types of things you might want to buy, and then we'll Kitsuji it and put it back together. And it was a fun event. Like we all did it. Okay. And some of us were more successful than others, but it was a great experience. And and yes, I did, but my takeaway is in the future, I'm not going to continuously break. Correct. Exactly. However, if in the future something that is something I treasure and it breaks, I'm not going to throw it away. I'm going to consume it. Yeah. I like it. Love that. I love it though. Carrie Washington says that's her hobby. So she breaking a lot of things. I would have just I don't know, but like, oh, you know, it's funny. She has a new show out on Apple TV. It's like it's something like that. She didn't say this on the podcast, but I'm watching the show. And in the previews, actually, she's incorporated. Yeah. So watch watch the intro. It shows because they're not perfect women. So it shows them like fractured, and then the the gold makes sense. Well, now I think it's promoting that. Yeah, I don't buy it. I think she's doing it as a problem. I'll buy this. Either way, look for Matt's Matty's Katsuji line coming out and storage near you. I love it. Okay. You better pull it out. My pull it out is related to summer, and I'm just gonna say it is bites. I have started to get bit. You have. Yep. And not yet. You usually don't, and which is odd to me. When I do, you'll notice. And I always thought they loved the olive skin. They do. I've gotten bit in here in this area. I have bites on my ankle, and I right here. I got one right here. It's red and bitty. Bitey. When did you last wash your sheets? I can't remember. It sounds like something that you're bad. It's summertime. And you know what's dangerous is the tick bites are skyrocketing. Yes. So when you get bit and then you suddenly realize you've been bit, it runs through my head like, what was it a mosquito? Was it a spider? Was it a tick? What has bitten me? Was it Friday night? Well, to my point, what's in those sheets? So fun. Like fun fact. You know that when a mosquito bite happens, it's a female mosquito. Well, I'm not you know that? Did you know that? Well, now I do. Yeah. Well, always a mosquito, a female mosquito. I am always attract like bugs. That's not. It's great. I'm gonna cut, I'm gonna cut that. What's your slip and end? My slipping end, and this goes back to kind of our product. It's like espresso martinis. Oh. Um, we cannot get enough of them. I love the summer starting, and Megan. I'm gonna say what this Megan and I were always a big espresso martinis uh aficionados. Yes. Maddie is late to the game, newcomer, and a newcomer, and I love the fact that you're in with it because we start a brunch, we start a dinner with espresso martini, and now you're really into it. I just love this. I think that this is espresso martini summer, which is weird because I wouldn't necessarily say an espresso martini by nature would be a summer drink, but I'm here to push the narrative. Yeah. So martinis are awesome. Martinis are, but like don't you associate coffee with more? It's not coffee. I get it. Espresso, it's just more of like, but I'm here to I'm here to push the narrative. I love a a martini to start any drinking event, day, night, so espresso martinis. I think that this is it. And Maddie, welcome to the family. Thanks for having me. Welcoming, welcoming you with uh open arms. Yes, absolutely. My pull it out is as I am getting older, but not that older, but I found out that sometimes I find myself getting to the fridge and I'm like, I know that I came in for a reason. Yes. Going into the bathroom cabinet, and it's like, wait, did I come here for something? When I go in the basement. Like, why did I why did I go down the basement? I don't like it. I don't like it at all. And it's like, I'm like, there is a point I'm like, I'm like, Provide. Why do I have to go to my primary doctor and ask them about like, am I sick? You might want to. You know there's a gene for early onset Alzheimer's. Oh you should see if you have it. I didn't know. We just went there. I mean, what do you want? I have been checked. I do not have it, the gene. Well, I might have it, but I don't like it. Debbie Downer just brought in. Bring me an espresso. I just don't like it. I that I call it a short-term memory for JJ. It's just like sometimes I'm sometimes in bed. I'm like, wait, I need my let me sleep before I fall asleep. So I should do it. What do you mean by that? Let me sleep before I fall asleep. Let me sleep. No, the let me sleep gummies that we did the talked about a few times. I had that the let me sleep from Courtney Kardashian. Yes. And then you dropped something. I sure did. So then I just go to the bathroom. I'm like, How did I get in here? How do you have those moments, man? So that is my pull-out. Do you take a daily vitamin? I sure do. I have like about 19 different like supplements throughout the day. Seems like you're missing number 20. Oh my gosh. I can't. That is my pull out. All
