I'm your host, Caitlin Bristow. And today we have the hilarious. She's sitting right in front of me, so this is going to get weird. She's so funny. She's so pretty. She's got her own makeup line of the best blushes and lip glosses there is. And I am higher than giraffs. right now, so expect to giggle on this one.

Hey, why are you looking so ashamed over there? Well, I've been watching traitors all day. I haven't got out of bed once until you asked me to podcast, and now here I am. That's your cane. Yes, I'm in the turret. I'm a faithful. And you are a short rib fipper. You're not wrong, but you know who I think the real traitor is?

Who? You. Oh! puts both hands up. Raman. Yeah, she's all, uh, not me. Do you know I also took an edible?

For this? Yeah, look at my shirt. All I can see is then. Oh, I'm higher than giraffe putt right now. Think about how high up giraffe. Think about it. I am. I'm thinking about it now.

The other funny one is I'm higher than ternactal tits. Remember when you thought that a pterodactyl flew over the house yesterday? I think it did. You actually said we were standing in the kitchen and all of a sudden, the entire room, like, kind of went like, oof. Like, you know, when something flies over the sun perfectly. Yeah, taradactyl. She goes, did a taradactyl just fly over the house? I was like, uh, not likely.

I didn't even hesitate either. Like, that was my genuine thought. Yeah. I was like, was that ferdactyl? Yeah, it was a taradactyl, nothing else. Not an airplane. Straight up, not a cloud just passing over the sun, a dinosaur. Oh, my God, good.

Oh, no. Oh, this is why it's a one podcast movie because I do feel high. But it's just on life. Right? When I talk to you, I feel high in a good way. Same. No offense. Sometimes we'll FaceTime for like hours and be like, what?

Yeah. And then I just, I'm, yeah. It's nice. It's really nice. That's a good quality to have in a friend is when you feel high. It's true. You know what I mean? I don't want to not feel high around my friends.

And you know, same. And I do feel high around me. You and like two of my other closest friends. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. I look. That's a quality I look for.

Do I feel high around my friends? Yeah. And I do. Into that. Not to switch gears, but we're dedicating this episode. This sweet. Oh, to my little angel head. To angel girl.

Angel. I was trying to get it on that. Yes, to my little angel head, sweet little ticket baby bucket pie. My little Buckingham Palace girl. My little angel, sweet little baby with a little tiny noggin. And her little tongue. Yeah. Honestly, we were talking about this last night because I do therapy and I'm doing therapy

around losing the dogs whenever that time comes because I'm so scared of it. It's a nightmare. And I told you, you do give me hope that I will be okay, not that. And you, you know, you're not like, yeah, sing to the choir. But it's, I just was like, oh, I thought about that for podcasting with you today. I was like, maybe you could share that with the listeners because everybody, you know, is so in love with their pets. And I feel like everybody dreads that day.

Absolutely. And we all know it's coming, which is the worst part. I know. And like what we were talking about last night was so, like, I meant every word of it where I kept saying, like, I just feel like she's still here. Yeah. And I think that that is actually something that I've been. like blessed with is the feeling that she's just she's not gone yeah i think she was also just

you know she was so she's so tiny so tiny she was just like always here yeah so i really don't feel like she's not here because she could just fit right here yeah oh wait wait she's not here but she's probably just over there you know what i mean that's what you said in the kitchen you're like i don't know how to explain it but i feel like she's just upstairs yeah and like she's literally just upstairs in heaven waiting for me yeah oh god i know but i don't do feel like that yeah no and at the end of you know her sweet perfect little life she was not feeling so good right so it's like i'm just free yeah and like obviously it doesn't make it really easier because like i just wish she was here right but yeah it just feels like you know she's running

in heaven well it's she's just running with her new legs she literally is absolutely oh yeah i know yeah she's just waiting in my mansion yeah in the heavens. Yeah, she's like, this is my new house. She's like, earth was shit. Yeah. Fri. Earth. My legs didn't even work back there. Oh, honey. I honestly, like, miss her on your Instagram, but that's what part of in this prep doc I'm looking at it. And I was thinking about how you loved her so much. So did the internet. I know. It's kind of nuts. Like, I've had a few people come up to me and be like, start crying, talking about how much they miss her. And I'm like, wow, she meant so much to people and also in her everyday life like her everyday life ours like when i'd

walk around with her and i had her i was she brought anybody a smile yes she did like the bitchiest person working at some place would be like oh hi oh my god cute even if i was like that lady was a total to me yesterday and then now because stinky's tongue or her little face everyone was obsessed with her And it was like the sweetest thing to be able to like have her and share her with the world and share her on Instagram and just like see how much people loved her. She is the most lovable little thing. I know. And I just like obsessed. And okay.

So crazy story. Caroline's what do you call her? Co-worker? Just best friend. Oh yeah. Well, they do work together. They do work together. So I didn't know of you.

Okay. Okay. Okay. That's what her contact. Yeah, photo. Like, literally, she sent me this and she's like, wait, her dog has been my husband's contact, because she calls him stinky too. And she was like, we are obsessed with this dog. So her contact, I don't know if you have a camera on that, but her contact photo is literally a picture of my dog.

Like, I do feel like stinky really did bring a smile to everybody. Yeah. And she like, exactly, she lives on. That's what I mean. Like, she does live on. You're right. I think, like, that's why I don't feel like she's gone is because she's just. She's kind of everywhere.

Look at it. She's on your best friend's contacts for her husband. Honestly, I kind of want to get a framed photo of her because I'm doing a photo wall here of like some of my favorite guests. Okay. Of stinky? But I'm like, no, I'm going to put stinky up there. Okay.

I want a picture of stinky up there. I want to know what your favorite quirk of stinky sweats. Oh my God. Okay. So she, well, so many. Yeah. Her yawns and her little screams. like she would scream yawn yeah but she would do this thing like a scream yawn in the morning it was

it was like take me out pick me up pet me put me on the bed hold me and it was just like it was just like this like little thing that she would do every morning like five times right when she would wake up she'd stretch and do her scream yawn and that was my favorite thing and also like I was why did I want to do this but like put her entire head in my mouth you really did I've heard you say that multiple times. Yeah. But I get it. And yeah.

I put my head in their mouths. Exactly. See, I couldn't do that. But if I could, I would have. Yeah. But yeah, I just wanted to like, I wanted to just. Remember when they got into my stuff? It was all over the carpet and I wanted to smell the breath.

And I got in there at the dinner table. No. Katelyn lifted his like jowl. His jowl up and just like put her entire like from here to here inside of one of them's mouth. yeah I kind of like I agree I know you get it like this smell I mean her name wasn't stinky for nothing I never smell her well you didn't live in the same city as her she wasn't as bit like ramen when he hot barks on you while you're eating your dinner and it's like ramen hot barked at me today when I was having a sandwich yeah and it was like I was eating trash I was like

it's like I was eating trash isn't that bad no it's actually not that bad but it's just like It's just hot. Yeah, it's hot. You know, Stinky would yawn and everyone would have to evacuate the room. Like, it was gnarly. Poor thing. I know. But that's because she, what, did she have to get all her teeth removed from?

Chihuahua's just, like, have, like, their bad breath. That's, like, the thing. Plus, all dogs just get bad breath when they get older. Absolutely. Yeah. But also Stinky did have to get all of her teeth removed. Did Stinky come with the name Stinky or did you guys name her? No.

I remember when you guys got her and watching, but I'm, yeah. And I just remember you guys kept calling her stinky and then did it just. Yeah, suck. It's stuck. It's stuck. It's stuck. I was like, it had just stuck. Her name was Dora because she would explore around the like paw works.

I adopted her from paw works. And she, yeah, she would just like explore around the foster place or whatever, the adoption. Yeah. And so they named her Dora. And I was like, that ain't your name. Yeah, no, she ain't a Dora. I didn't like that. And that wasn't the name she came with.

If that was like her name from her previous owner, I'd feel different. But like if she had that name for four days, I'm like, that's not your name. Yeah. So I just renamed her. She didn't come to Stinky. I don't think she knew her name at all. Really? No, she did not know her name.

Like, we would just be like, come here. She'd come. But like she didn't have, she didn't like know the name. That was like one of my favorite things when I said Robin so many times he didn't know his name either. Yeah. And then when he started turning to Rahman, I was like, you know your name. name yeah that's so cute i think stinky had too many names yeah she just like we called her so many things she actually knew the name ticket how did you figure that out got her not an off camera laugh

okay ticket ticket was so okay follow me um i'm ready so here we go okay so we started calling her stinky and then we'd be like oh look a stinky okay look at stinky because look at stinky because became look at angel. We started calling her angel. So we go look at angel. And then angel turned into anio, like little anio. So then it became look at de anio. Okay. So then look at de anio became tigita anio girl. Ticketa aino girl. Okay. And then it became Ticketa. So her name was just ticketa for like four years and then it just became she responds to ticket no she just responded to ticket i think she liked the like you know i kind of like the name ticket for a dog ticket i know well matt and i call each other ticket now all the time so if you just hear me being like ticket

what are you doing oh my god we call each other an yo and ticket and i call him ticket boy and he calls me ticket girl i i love that so much like witnessing you guys because usually when i see you it's just me and you and like once in a while matt will be there but i know you guys uh we've had a couple sleepovers now and i'm like i don't want you guys to ever leave i were not it feels like i'm living with like the golden girls it feels like we're the golden girls such a golden girl which one is he yeah blanche no no oh he's blanche in the streets but he's he's helen in the sheets what are their other names i only know blanche Angela?

No. Oh my God. I know this. Betty White was, um, Dorothy. Dorothy. Dorothy. Dorothy.

Dorothy. Rose. Rose. Oh, yeah. And then, wait, Blanche, Rose. And Dorothy. No, there's four. Matt.

And Matt. But it's really cute to like watch you guys because like, you have such lovely conversation with one another about your days. And then you're like, like, like, he. comes and he's like oh angel like what do you need and then you're like hey cutie and then you guys like just have this whole like thing where it's like just seems so cute it is I know relationships always have whatever but we don't need to talk about that we need to talk about how cute it is yeah it's really special no what what's really cool about our relationship is that we really are best friends yeah you are like it like it's like you started as best friends and now

you're even more best friends yeah when you get married you're like oh well now we're really best friends yeah for life for life So, yeah, yeah, it's, it's great. Oh, no, you were saying that, like, we've only really hung out. Oh, yes. For the most part. Yesterday, it was so cute. And, like, we were in the room last night after, did we go to Soho House last?

No, night before. Night before. Yeah. So we went to dinner the other night and that was like the first, well, we've been hanging out, obviously. But after that dinner, Matt comes back in the room, or we were in there and he was like, Caitlin is awesome. And I was like, isn't she the best? And he was like, no, like, she's so cool.

And, like, I could just hang with her all the time. And I'm like, yeah, we need to move to Nashville so we can hang with you every day. Please. Like, he loves you. I love him. And that's so cool. I just love, it's fun to have girlfriends that, you know, you want to hang out with, like, your signif. I know actually what you mean.

Yes. I feel like we shouldn't have, I shouldn't have planned a serious podcast with you because I can't. Oh, is this supposed to be serious? No, I can't, though, because I go back to my. my notes and I'm like, so anyways, do you believe dogs go to heaven? Yeah, what are we doing here? There's no transitions back into, that's not my question because I know you do. Oh, yes, they do.

But I know it's like a personal journey for grief. Yeah. And I feel like everybody goes through something different. But a lot of listeners are going to either go through or have gone through or are going through the same thing. So a few of them wrote questions in for you. Oh, I love that. I know.

It's really cute. Somebody said, have you found any relief through either a grief counselor or even a pet medium? How do you find relief? Oh, okay. My relief has been the moment I started thinking about how much I miss her and needing her to like actually be here. I'm like, oh my God, I miss her so much is I just watch videos of her and stare at photos of her and zoom in on her and do what I would do if I was with her, which is like, be this close to her. I will literally get my phone and I'll just like zoom in on in photos like zoom in on them so far and just go like this I love you and like do that shit which it because the things that I think really hurt is when you're not doing normal things anymore and that's what I would do with her yeah is I would be like oh I love you so much and it's like if I'm not doing that what am I going to do that with and then I'm going to be missing that feeling too so I just do it to her photos and I do it to her videos it's so weird can't be like aren't we in a a time in life at 2025 that we can get like a hologram of her? Right? I need a hologram.

I want like a little hologram that she can just be here. That would be the best thing ever. I saw like people magazine said something like there's a pill coming out that will extend a dog's life. And I'm like, I'll take it. They said they might find something for humans too. Oh. But people magazine headlines have been unhinged lately. Well, well, no, I don't know about lately. Like the last year. Really? somebody whoever took over their social media in the last like year or two on really yeah i like try to block things out of my peripheral as you should for those things because i don't like it i hate it all i like watching or i like looking at that kind of stuff just for fashion and seeing what people are wearing not to see like who fift over this person like i don't care about that kind of stuff

but then there's some juice and i'm like wait a minute what's this wait wait a good no i'm guilty guilty have you thought about memorializing her in any special way we the other day we actually not me wanting to cry I know I feel I don't want to make you cry I know it's okay I mean I literally will randomly just be driving and start bawling my eyes out because I was like stinky um yeah so wait another thing I do to not miss her yeah or not to not miss her but to to the last question really quick. I put her tiny little, she would always wear this like little fleece. Her little fleece sweater. She would always wear it. And so I put it on my stuffed animal that I always sleep with in bed. It's like this little monkey. It's actually weirdly the same size as her body. So I put that sweater on her and I just cuddle it. And it's like she's there in her little sweater. And her sweater felt more like her than her own fur. Oh yeah. So feeling that sweater because she was always in it. She's always freezing. She had a little heating bed.

Yeah. Oh, she had her little heating pad with her little sweater. But I put that sweater on this little monkey and I just, hmm. So that's another thing to do with, if they have clothes. Yeah. Put the clothes on a thing and hug it. Or put it on, if you have a big dog, put their little sweater or something on a pillow or something like that. I don't like their bandanas or something.

Yeah. Well. I'm going to start putting them in more clothes. Yeah. Put sweaters on these dogs. Please. They're naked. They're butt naked right now.

Put him in jeans Put him in jeans and a tee Yeah Jeans and a tee Okay The next question Was memorializing her

Well I We actually buried her In my mom's backyard And Which is what I thought Would be the right thing I, because my mom heard

The dog that I got with my mom Actually when I was 17 Yeah Passed away a few years ago And we also put him back there And that's like her little you know it's like her brother yeah it's the dog that she like knew the most and i'm like they'll be back there together you know so like we had a little memorial yeah we like thanked god

for letting us have stinky for so long and and yeah we we had a little memorial you all know i'm all about that beauty that's effortless and fun which is why i'm obsessed with the new lash blast super cloud mascara from cover girl this mascara super boosts your lashes with weightless length light as air lift Seriously, it feels like nothing is on there, but the results are everything.

It's a red wine demiglaze beef short rib. Well, it was until I burned the shit out of it. Did we talk about that on this podcast yet? We didn't. Yeah, we did. We started with those sunglasses, and I said it's for burning my... Put the shame glasses back on. Here's the thing, you guys.

Caitlin's stove is too fancy for my taste. It's just a gas stove. Everyone knows how to work it. I turned it up instead of down and I'm ashamed. I go, I'm doing everything before I have to podcast and I'm going, and she goes, you want me to help you? I was like, no, I'll get it done. And then I do it.

And then I say, okay, all you have to do when this starts boiling in 30 seconds, just turn it all the way down and you're like okay should I set a timer on Siri oh 30 seconds okay I got it and then you turned it all the way up and so for an hour and a half it was just boiling to a bed and then burning it smells so crazy up here too I should have known from how crazy it smelled up here but I was like I guess that's just you know heat rises They need to go. I was coming upstairs. I was like, wow, punging up here.

I am an idiot. No, it looked. Here's the thing. I got to plead my case here. Okay. It's one of those stoves that has a little flame. And then the outer ring has the bigger flame. So you saw the outer ring go out.

I saw the outer rim go small. Didn't know it had that metal one. So it was just boiling for hours. And now we're having pizza. From Domino's tonight. This episode is sponsored by Domino's. I really do think it's going to be fine still. It'll be fine.

It'll be fine. Yeah. I think it, I mean, it smells amazing up here, actually. Like, it smells good cooking.

It smells like great cooking. Oh, yeah. When Matt comes home... He's going to be like, holy shit. Yeah. Caitlin is a top chef.

Yeah. And that's why I sabotaged you because I didn't want him to think you were a better chef than me. Yeah. I'm going to be like, Caitlin made it. Ah!

She put it in there. She burned it. All right, I blared it. Yeah. I feel like when I hang out with my friends too long I like develop their mannerisms too and so like did we do that last night but we said the same exact thing at the same exact time it wasn't last night it was oh but we did do that in the last 24 hours I forget what it was

but we were like oh and it was like perfectly on we I feel like we were walking we're walking out of dinner out of dinner yes yes yes to the car and we said something at the same time and then we're like oh oh and then we like and then it kept going yeah wow oh oh yeah oh yeah what matt and i had a vine like that you did yes we like said the same thing and then we that's i can't even okay let's move on to happier questions okay yeah or or whatever i'm i'm loving life am i okay i don't think i ever am though i feel like i'm hired than giraffe That's a good friend. You're welcome.

Yes. Okay. Last question about that. Okay. What do you think the best way to support someone else going through the loss of a pet? Okay. Like, what did somebody do for you that you're like? Yes.

I am such a gift giver. Yeah. And when I got gifts for this loss, I don't even like calling it a loss. I hate actually that I just said that, cut that out. No, I don't like calling it a loss because it's not. Like, I won it life. I had her. Yeah.

You know what I mean? I hate it. I hate that word and I don't like putting that on her life as like oh it's a loss I don't know it's weird I don't even like speaking that because it was such a gain for so long

a gain for so long for me and then a full blown gain in the spiritual realm yeah like she's just they gained a winner so it's gain no but when when she went to heaven this one friend of mine I just like opened up the most beautiful bell

okay it was just a bell on this like really pretty rope and it said anytime you hear this bell ring let it remind you of the love that you have in your life and so but i didn't realize how special it was going to be until i hung it on the door and every time i hear it i think of how much love i have in my life and it's because of that note and because of that sound and i actually am like whoa that like really worked and that was really special and i think of stinky and how how much we loved each other and just like this simple little bell it's i mean it's beautiful it's like on this cool rope and i don't know it's like a decorative bell um that's really cool i know and it was like so random too and stinky wore a bell

for the first like two years that we had her this teeny tiny little bell because i could never find her and but then all of a sudden i hear like in my closet like ding ding ding and i'm like oh She's in the closet. Okay, good. And so the fact that she gave me a giant bell was also so weird. And this person didn't even know about the bell. Anyways, it was all really cool. And another friend of mine, like, hired somebody to paint a little picture of her

and put it in this, like, really cool vintage frame. And I'm such a gift giver that that meant so much to me because now I have... Sorry, I didn't get you a gift. I'm not a gift giver. That's why I brought you here onto my podcast. You are in the hot zi. You're in the interviewer chair. I am.

So you're going to tell me how I... I make Kaylin switch with me. I like this side. How I didn't get you stinky a gift. No, that's not a gift giver. I gift through FaceTime's and words of affirmation. But that's also so important. It's just people that are like that messaged me even, people that DM'd me, people that, like, I mean,

I had so many of my friends send me like the most beautiful messages about how amazing it was that I got to have her and she had me and just reading things or getting, it was like so cool. Yeah. So, yeah, everything was. I do think that's a really good gift for someone else to think of if somebody else is going through that. That's a really beautiful gift. It was special.

Yeah. And then recently someone gave me this person who follows me on Instagram. She was on the E-Mails Not Dead Cruise. And she brought onto the cruise this glass heart that she had. had like etched a stinky she had it made and it is like a 3D stinky inside of this heart and I'm like oh my god yeah people are so creative forever truly yeah it's the coolest thing ever that is really that's why I feel like she's just here I love that that's gonna you're gonna be my like 9-1-1 call when you I will be because I feel like you're comforting with this stuff yeah all right if

you are a little pet parent like myself you know that keeping your furry friend happy and Healthy is literally always a top priority. And this is why I love Chewy. I love Chewy. It truly has everything I need. All in one place. My dogs have like a six cents for when the Chewy box arrives. I actually think they do. Or they smell it. Whatever. They know it's packed with their favorite food, treats, toys. And for me, it's a total lifesaver because it's no more last minute pet store runs because everything just ships fast. I usually get it in one, maybe two days. But Chewy isn't just about the fun stuff. They also offer pet prescriptions, insurance, and even telehealth vet visits. So if I ever have a question, which I did the other day, because

ramen chewed up some of his probiotics, the plastic bottle that it came in, I immediately went to Chewy's telehealth's vet visits. So I got expert advice without leaving the house.

And I remember noticing more shedding than usual. I think it was from COVID. I don't know. I also have really whack hormones. I was spiraling when it happened. Like, like, is this just how it is now? But then I started taking Nutraful and I really did see a difference.

Nutrival is the number one dermatologist recommended hair growth supplement. And it makes sense why, because it targets the root causes of hair thinning. So stress, hormones, nutrition, instead of just slapping a band-aid on the problem. And for me, the first thing I noticed wasn't pulling out handfuls of hair in the shower anymore. That was definitely the first thing. And over time, just stronger, thicker, healthier hair. Like, the kind of hair that actually makes you want to wear it down all the time, I just naturally have finer hair, but it's now noticeably stronger and thicker.

And Nutraful isn't just a one-size-fits-all thing. They have different formulas tailored to your specific needs. so whether it's postpartum, menopause or even plant-based lifestyles, plus it's 100% drug-free and backed by clinical studies.

Okay, well, literally, I mean, this is like so dumb, but these, I don't know, you can't see the floor, but I have four-season slippers that I took from my hotel room when we were

staying in Miami. Yeah. And I always take hotel slippers and put them in my back. I put hotel slippers in your nightstand. I saw that. Yeah. But those are like slippers. Oh, oh.

Which is nice. That's like that you like bought those. No, no, no, no. Hotel ones in the nightstand. Really? Oh, they're in the nightstand? Yeah. No way.

Yeah, but four seasons probably better. They might even be four seasons actually. Oh, okay. Well, now I'm going to steal those. That's what they're there for. But I put these little slippers. I put them in like I always take them and put them into my suitcase so that whenever I'm somewhere and I forget to like bring socks or slippers or whatever, I'm like, oh, my

slippers that I have. So those are my little joy. My little pleasure of the day. And that was like so, I was like, yes, I have slippers. Aw. Because I don't like walking around barefoot. Okay. Somebody wants to know. What is something absolutely ridiculous that you get judged for? I've had so many people be like, shut up. You're just like a rich girl. And I'm like, you literally have zero clue where I came from. Like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm. I'm. I'm, moved out on my own with $0.00. When I say $0, I mean $0.00. I like slept on my friend's couches and like all kinds of stuff. And so I think that's that that's the one that gets to me the most because I have worked so hard and I have turned down going on a hundred vacations with so many

people because I have to stay back and work. Yeah. And I have to do this. And I have to pay for this. And I have to do a lot of stuff with my, you know, like take care of my mom and stuff. And so there's a lot that I do that I think people don't know think I do. Yeah. You know? That's well. And people are like, you're just a rich girl. And I'm like, no.

Rich in life, yes. Rich in love. Rich in dollar bills, not so much. No, it's, I don't know. I think because like maybe I'm like talking about my makeup brand and people are like, shut up. I'm like, okay, I'm just trying to work like everyone else. Yeah, seriously.

You're like, welcome to 2025. We're all trying to sell something on the internet. really strange when people get like mad that I'm like talking about my company yeah you're like all which I also put all my own money into and work really hard for oh I haven't taken investors I've done that I that's another thing people think oh well you're an influencer so you don't own your company that's you're just putting your name on some other formula yeah no I've done everything from top to bottom from top to start to finish I'm passing out from start to finish from start to finish on that business like literally every single thing formula design blah blah blah this that money everything so like i think it's just hard to hear that about myself because i'm like god that's so mean to say about somebody i know when you work so hard yeah what it well okay what's something that you're the most proud of in life well i have a lot of things i'm really proud of i i'm really proud that that i have purchased a home yeah like that to me is is so cool i mean

I mean, when I tell you, when I bought my first place, I remember my, the person that like helps me and, what is he called, like a business manager? A real estate agent? What? Oh. No, business manager. Oh, okay. So, like, the guy who, like, helps me with my taxes and stuff.

And he, like, knows how much money I have. You're accountant? That's the word. Send help. It's really hot in this room and I don't know words. He doesn't help. My accountant. That's also like my accountant.

That sounds weird. But yeah. So he was saying when I first bought my place, he's like, I don't know, you know, like you can, but it's going to be hard for a while probably. And I was like, you know what? I think I just have to do it. Because if I don't just go for it, I'll just live in an apartment forever. And I bought my first place and I had never felt so like I did it. Yeah.

You know, when I got the keys and I was walking around this sick place in Hollywood, I was just like this is the coolest thing ever you would have loved that place it was remember from instagram it was the coolest yeah like we had a and not that i like ever cared about flower wall or something like i did i had the craziest shit like i put crazy wallpaper up and it was so fun but i never cared about the hollywood sign until it was outside my window that's cool and like the capital records building with the hollywood sign right behind it i was like whoa Hollywood is beautiful and it's like I had this beautiful I don't know I'm like I did this yeah it was really cool and no one else helped me do that I did it yeah you did so I'm like I did that and I'm also like you know I'm just

proud to be sitting here like I feel like proud is the wrong word but I feel like you're very grateful yeah like when I get to do this kind of stuff I'm like oh I'm so it's I feel super grateful and I feel really it feels cool to be sitting here with you doing your podcast. Aw. Like, that's a proud moment. Like, it's so cool. What is the most random thing you carry in your purse at all times? The most random rubber gloves?

You would. Perfect response. You would. Why would I? Well, because you have a thing with germs. Damn straight. And the world is gross. Yeah, the world's gross.

And when you go out, you probably want to put on rubber gloves for like what would you use rubber gloves or filling your gas tank bingo okay i do that yeah but i also use rubber gloves all the freaking time guys i find animals all the time i am snow white i find animals everywhere injured animals and i got to get them and i have to put gloves on interesting it's happened a lot you are snow white yeah you are an animal whisper we talked about this last night if matt was here he would be like the amount of matt in here. The amount of animals I've saved or picked up off the side of the road is absolutely insane. I have on... It's always happened to me twice and I like manifested. I'm like, let me help an

animal. I have, really? Yeah. It's because if you look for it, you find it. You find it. Yeah. And I'm always looking for animals everywhere I go. So I'm like, oh my God. You walk on my backyard. There's a horse. Yeah. In my phone, I have a woman's name in there. I don't even know her name, but next to her name, oh, her name is Lisa. And next to her name, it says bird sanctuary, Los Felis, okay? That was when I lived in Los Felis. She was the person I would take birds that I would save to, and she would literally, like, put their wings back together and let them fly away.

Like, I gave her probably five birds. Then I found one I couldn't get down with. Oh, yeah, you'd be like, let it die. No, I'd have someone come in and save it. The amount of injured birds I've had in my car is in. insane. Yeah. Love them.

I love birds. I grew up. I like birds. Why don't you like birds? Because my mom instilled fear in me. Like you're actually scared of them? Terrified. What are you scared they're going to do to you?

I just thought. Pick you to death? Yeah. Really? No. Like your eyes? No. It's the flapping and I just, oh, that noise even.

Really? Yeah. My heart rate just elevated. Really? Yeah, I just don't like. I like them from like beautiful bluebirds or, um, Cardinal from a far love. Really?

Pigeon, I would kill a pigeon. Do you know about pigeons? That they're the government? They're what? Ever seen a baby pigeon? No. Government. Government.

Just kidding. President of the United States. He's watching through all the pigeons. No, that's what they're little cameras. So pigeons? Yeah. We're rats. No.

No. Pigeons were raised to be like messengers, right? Like take, like letters and stuff to people. Yeah, little notes. And they love people so much. Like they're, they, they do. They're like. Purpose in life? Their purpose in life is to like be around people and people hate them and like kick them away. And they're supposed to be like out in nature. But they go to where the people are. So they've ended. ended up in cities and then people are like, ew, your little shithead. Like me. Like you. I'm like, ooh, you little rat with wings. Get out of here. And that little bird is just like, all I want to do is love you and for you to love me back. And that's why they're in the cities because that's where the most people are.

You're not making this up. No. There's like a whole thing about pigeons. And if I'm wrong, and I mean, I read this. It's an article. I read it in a book. So it's right. But it's said all of this stuff.

And I was like, wait, that makes so much sense. That's why we haven't seen a baby pigeon because they are going to extinct because they're just coming to the city and getting kicked. They aren't getting raised to be people lovers anymore. Maybe. Or they start somewhere and then they start like out in the wild where you don't see them. And then you don't see them. And then they're like, I got to go find people because that's what I was like I had a wiener dog. That dog was meant to go into holes and get stuff.

That's why weaner dogs are shaped like that. Oh. Wiener dogs were bent. love the history of an animal go into a hole i do love the history of an animal it's hilarious that is really funny and like and they don't get to do that so pigeons like aerial not ariel aerial aerial like the little mermaid i want to be where the people are wow they just want to be where the people are that makes me a little sad i know it makes me a little sad that i hate them that much and and i never like loved them until i heard about them yeah that doesn't make mad at them but i was like me i was really

angry and now i'm not but i don't love them but i'm not angry anymore but think about them just wanting you to love them it freaks me out because then i'm like oh god now they do really want to be like in my space and i hate that that's where the fear is i'm obsessed okay thank you for that fun fact anytime bird facts anytime maybe we do a new segment on this podcast called bird facts where i learn to love birds yeah okay that was a good one you know when you think you're doing all the right things oh and then the internet just slaps you in the face with reality but like drinking water slathering on expensive serums, maybe even getting a full night sleep and your skin just still looks dull energy all over the place.

Mm-hmm, relatable. That was also me. I kept wondering, like, what am I missing? What is going on? Turns out, it wasn't about what I was putting on my skin. It was about what I, well, was or wasn't putting into my body. And that's where Peaks Radiant Skin Duo came in. First of all, their sun goddess, macha.

I used to rely on coffee to get me through the day, but it always left me feeling like maybe a little bit anxious and jittery and then I crash hard. And this macha, though, it actually gives me energy that lasts. My girlfriend used to always tell me that matcha did that, but I was like, okay. But it does. It helps focus, too. Plus, I've noticed my skin looking just clearer. I don't know, overall healthier, I guess.

Like, I didn't even realize my gut health was affecting my skin. Apparently it is. And then there's the BT fountain electrolytes. Listen, I thought I was just destined to be dehydrated forever. Because drinking water, I feel like it just doesn't do anything for me. But these, they actually help my body absorb hydration instead of just flushing it out. And my skin, I'm not toot my own horn, but my skin's glowing and my lips aren't constantly chapped. I did notice that.

And I just don't feel like a shriveled up little raisin by noon, okay? It's wild. And because I care about what I put in my body lately, even though I don't always act like it, I love that peak tests for toxins and doesn't use any weird junk. So just clean, science-backed hydration and energy. I feel more hydrated, more energized, more myself. So no more waking up exhausted, no more dull, dry skin, no more energy crashes. It's amazing.

And every time we'd see her, I would just instantly call Anthony Stinky. And so then it kind of just stuck. Oh. Stuck. Stuck.

still refer to him as stinky and it only felt right that his contact card be changed to stinky and so it's been away since like 2020 but i think it will be that way for the rest of our lives and i mean that and i mean that hardly that that is like the perfect ending yeah to the perfect podcast no literally that was so sweet and and that just goes to show what love stinky put into the world and how grateful I was for her.
