Part one. Behind the scenes with a member of the show. What's up everybody? Welcome to the Best Bits this weekend. I am joined by Amy. Amy, how are you? Hi, happy to be back. Except for this is our first time in our new studio doing this. I know. And we're in like a little pod studio. So hopefully everything goes okay. Yeah. It looks like it's working. At least we're recording. That's the good sign. Everything else? TBD. Yeah, hopefully this sounds okay. So we did have a bunch happen on the show this week. Amy had a personal bonehead story.

You came in at number one and you are on this weekend, so naturally that fits right. Okay. Lunchbox always gets mad when he's not number one when he's on that weekend. Oh, I don't know that I've ever thought about that, but yeah. Well, that's because it's lunchbox. And Bobby addressed some internet rumors about himself. Traffic talk came back. We talked about some alcoholic beverages and very dangerous ones.

We had some Halloween stuff happened for myself for lunchbox. And there was some parking garage. drama. So all of that is over on part two. But we are, you know, inside information here, we're recording this on Halloween currently. So do you have any Halloween plans or things that you've done for Halloween up until now? Or has it been like zero Halloween in the brown household? No, we've been getting my son's costume ready. He's a men in black or a man in black. For trick or for something else? For trick or treating. Yeah. So no, he's wearing, you know, black suit, black tie, black sunglasses. Do they wear?

Halloween costumes to school anymore? Little earpiece. He could have worn it to school he chose not to. So he'll be debuting it tonight. He's got a little men and black badge where we printed out. I just ordered like a little insert with a lanyard thing on Amazon. Yeah. And then printed out his own little custom, like his photos on it.

So it looks like he actually works for MIB. Does he have like a little alien friend, a little blowup alien doll or anything? No. And he doesn't even have a men in black partner. He just says he's just him. He's just solo. He's just like before Will Smith figured out his partner. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. So that's fun. Yeah, he's excited. My daughter's not dressing up. They had a little thing at church last night and she was like a scarecrow. But she just like drew on her face. Did you wear like some overalls? No.

It was just her. She just didn't. Nope. She was like, I wanted to be a square scarecrow. But then she really, she couldn't really complete the look. So she just dressed kind of normal, but then had a scarecrow face. Okay. A fun household activities.

Any pumpkin carvings or fall ventures? No, they didn't want to do any of that. I don't know if they're just aging out. But she's not doing anything tonight. Now, she is going to dress up as a pirate on Saturday with her friends. And it's like everything in me to make sure that it's not, you know, like sexy pirate. She is getting to that age where it's possible. Yeah.

Is it a party? Somebody's having a party? Yeah. Okay. So. Fun. See, it's the after party. What about you? Have you done anything for Halloween? No, it's not, I've never really gotten into it. I don't really get excited about dressing up.

I guess I've always been a little envious of people that take it a little more seriously and like have a lot of fun with it. But it's just never been my personality, ever. Even when I was a kid? No, not my thing. I don't know why. So no, I'm going to walk around tonight, I guess, but just dressed as me. No, you're not even going to put on like a onesie or anything. You could do a onesie. easily. I have a bone onesie. I got to find it though, like a skeleton. Yeah. But I don't know what I did with it when I moved.

I feel like you wore that when you all went to visit St. Jude, right? I did. I feel like I remember that picture of all of you guys. Okay. That's the only one. Yeah, what are you doing? No Halloween stuff. Well, I've done, this will now be my third weekend of dressing up for Halloween. I'm not normally super into Halloween, but this year for some reason I've just been. Wait, I thought you were going to stay home this weekend. I am one night. One night I'm going out for a Halloween party at a bar. Okay. You literally said the other day, I'm not doing anything this weekend. I got convinced. I'm not very hard to convince. If I'm just sitting at home, then I'm like,

okay, well, I don't really have a reason not to. So I am going to go to a Halloween party, and I have a new costume. So far I was Sabrina Carpenter, Dolly Parton, and now tomorrow, me and one of my good friends who's a Burnett, we were trying to come up with like iconic blonde and brunette duos. And we landed on Regina George and Gretchen Wieners from Mean Girls. Oh, that's going to be cute. Yes. So I have like a little costume where, like, you know the part in the movie where her tank top gets cut? And she's had the skirt and she just kind of walks around like, whatever.

That I'm wearing that outfit. And then she has like a Gretchen Wieners. And I've encouraged her to bring around Toaster Shuddles. That's going to be so cute. I love that movie. Do you know I saw like when I was looking for a fun fact of the other day for the show? Amy Polar was only a few years older than whoever was it

whose mom was she Rachel McGadden? Oh yeah, well Regina George yeah Rachel McCannes Yeah so she was only a few years older than her playing her mom That's so funny And they made her, I feel like they made her look like with her clothes and stuff Made her look like she was older Because she was the one that was always wearing the track suit She's like I'm a cool mom

Yeah, I'm not a regular mom But like in the face she never did It was just like more of the outfits and stuff And the way they styled their hair But that's funny. So yeah, that's our, it'll be my third time dressing up. And then after that party, I will be decorating for Christmas this weekend. Yeah, same.

Like, I'm ready. Yeah, we're, I'm decorating. I decided the first week of November because I want to enjoy it for as long as possible. See, that's how I am because you go through so much effort of putting it up and then you can only have it for a month. That's stupid. Enjoy it for the whole month. And then Thanksgiving, I never really have decorations for Thanksgiving. I'm not going to put up a bunch of stuffed turkeys.

You know? And pumpkin's already over. A pumpkin is associated with Halloween. No, you can still have them out through Thanksgiving. You can, but like nobody's ever selling pumpkins anymore. You know what I mean? Like the pumpkin stands and stuff, stop selling them at the beginning of November. Yeah. Christmas has already taken over. Oh, yeah. So it'll be Halloween one night next week or next night Christmas when I'm staying home. I'll be doing Christmas stuff. So that's what's going on over there. How are the kids doing besides Halloween? They're doing great. We just got grades for like where they are currently. and I was very proud of them.

So, or I am very proud of them. So that's exciting. Is that the first quarterly review? I guess. I don't know how it works anymore. I guess it's like mid. Yeah. Are we halfway?

Because then you get another one after December, right? Yeah. At the end of the semester. But I was just very proud of them. And, you know, English being their second language, there's some stuff that, you know, just some of the fundamentals that they didn't have. It's not even just the English as their second language, but not having some of the basics to build upon

because they didn't come here until later and they didn't have those fundamentals at their school in Haiti. So it's just very cool to see them grow and learn and evolve. I think Stevens is going to be into music, though. I need to get them into some music classes because I don't know. I'm like, is there like a high school he could go to that would just tap into more of his creativity? and we don't have to worry about chemistry and math and all that.

You could always find him like choir and drama classes and stuff. I feel like most of high school has to do all the other things. I'm like, is there a school where we can just be like, hey, look, we're not going to focus on this, this and this because you don't need it. It's like there's no way he's going to need it. Or just like, I don't know. Or basic life skills. I just, as a parent, sometimes it's so frustrating because I know he's never going to. to need that.

Because you just don't see him going down that pathway. No. And I mean, I know what I didn't need. And these are things that were a struggle for me in school, too. And I think I would have benefited, like, having other options. And there are, like, art schools. I know. I just don't know that we have them here.

But I know there's art schools. Yeah. I just don't look into it. He's in seventh grade now. So I was just thinking if I start looking into now, or if any listeners happen to know or you have any recommendations for me, like if you've noticed something, similar in your kids where there's a spark there but you need to nurture it but I just don't know how to do that while we're like all of our time is dedicated to homework yeah and that's so tough

in all of the other subjects that are a little more challenging um so I don't know that's where we are so I'll take I'm open to feedback tips any parents have been down this road before me but I think I'm going to spend the next Ben and I were talking about it like the rest of 7th eighth grade trying to figure out his high school plan and maybe it won't be the traditional route well there's nothing wrong with that no not at all so she was even talking about not going the traditional route for college and she's just getting into cosmetology and maybe just going and doing that like a trade type school um versus college she has all as right now except for chemistry and that one she's like i'm trying to figure out how to bring it up but she just the way she grades is

so tough. But for her to have all A's and then, I mean, I never had all A's. No, that's awesome. She sounds like she's working really hard to do that. The thing is, though, she actually, I know she could do more. And so it makes me curious, like, oh, wow,

if she were to really go all in, like she could have hundreds across the board. But I like that she has a good balance. Yeah. She's bright. Stevenson is bright. It's just they shine in different. ways. Yeah, and they should.

And he's very into music, like, very. And maybe if you're able to at least implement some more creative music stuff, maybe the other school stuff doesn't feel so heavy for him. You know what I mean? Like he can have things to look forward to. And then the classes at least aren't so daunting throughout the day for him. Yeah. And maybe that's a balance until you're able to, he gets older and you're able to maybe send him somewhere that is more of an arts-driven school because I know those exist.

Yeah. I have to, Ben and I just had this conversation. So that's why also I'm not really sure because it's not like I've started the research yet. We're just like, okay, we've got a year and a half to try to figure out what high school maybe could look like. And what about the new house? How are things going? I love it. It's perfect. Less DIY style projects happening or still happening? I mean, I think we're pretty much done. Like I feel I feel settled. Like I've got to work on the podcast room. That's really all that's left. Okay. And I have to figure. that out, but it's quaint, it's perfect. All of our rooms are really close together. Like, I love that. The kids, we hang out way more. Yeah, just being in close proximity and not so spread out. Yep. That's awesome. So I love it. Okay. Well, a little life update from Amy. We're going to take a quick break and we're going to be right back. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. Hi, dad. And just when I said that, my mom comes down the kitchen

and she says, I have some cookies and milk. This is a badass convict me. Right. Just finished five years. I'm going to have

cookies and milk their mom. Yeah. On the Sino Show podcast, each episode invites you into a raw unfiltered conversations about recovery,

resilience, and redemption. On a recent episode, I sit down with actor, cultural icon, Danny Trail, talk about addiction,

about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything.

But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurs, ownership happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast, a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships.

I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.

We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real real. wealth, starting with the mindset shifts, too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about, like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's about

Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the effect network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I have two kind of random things that have happened to me recently, and maybe it'll make you think of some things that are happening in your life. So one, I went to eat at La Petite Chef, which is like a little teeny tiny chef that cooks for you on a projection screen. Oh, I saw you post about that. Yes. Okay, that looked really cool. It was so much fun. Even there was kids in there.

There was a whole variety of types of people that came into there, which I thought was also really cool. Is that a forever like a thing or is that a pop-up? It's a pop-up for the next several months. Okay. Then I think they're trying to make it a forever thing, depending on how it goes. But it was like a dinner and a show, but you had like a private show at your table because the projection screen had the little chef cooking meal, the meals you were going to eat in front of you on the table. And then the meal would come out. And it was just a cool experience in that I expected the food to be like, oh, okay, it's more about the show. But the food was so good. And now I, like, want to order the food to take out, and I can't.

The only way to get it is to, like, go and have the petite chef. Yeah, it's not going to be possible. No. But it was so good. So that was a fun experience that I didn't anticipate to be as fun as that it was. I maybe need to take the kids to that. Oh, they would love it. And that's really cool.

Okay. I'm glad you reminded me about that. Yeah. So that was a fun, cool, new experience. And then I also, I need your thoughts on this because I went and got a massage. You know when you get like a little thing in the mail and you see you can get something off? You're like, oh, I'm going to try that because I got a little coupon for it. Well, there was a new massage place by my house.

I was like, let's definitely go try. I got a little coupon for my birthday. I go in and honestly, Amy, it's one of the best massages I've ever had, but it was a guy. Because I didn't specify on there, like what I prefer because I didn't know anybody there. I was just like, you know, you guys teach it. You guys do whatever you want to do. And when I walked in, I was like, okay, well, it'll be fine. But Amy, he was kind of doing like PT stretches a little bit on me.

And I feel like I was exposed in a few moments during that massage. Oh, that's uncomfortable. It was like a traditional. Like, I don't need you to stretch my legs open. What was he doing? It was like, well, you. I know. It sounds weird.

Well, first of all, it was a traditional Swedish massage, which I'm not super familiar with. Okay. But I imagine that's just like. I feel like there's just like a normal massage. Okay. But he was doing like, like my, my leg would come up and then it would be like moved over in one way or then another. And then he'd like deep tissue massage, but it wasn't deep. I was confused.

It was deep, but it wasn't deep. So which was it was it was deep? But it wasn't supposed to be deep. Yeah, I didn't like, it was just supposed to be a traditional Swedish massage. It wasn't a deep tissue massage. Uh-huh. So did you say anything? No, I just kind of like, what am I going to?

I'm literally naked under this blanket. I'm like, what am I going to say in this moment? Wait, but you were your underwear? Yeah, I have my underwear on. But like I think my underwear. Some people don't. He would like tuck the blanket under me as to like intentionally try to make sure I wasn't exposed. But there were still some moments where I was like, I feel a little, this feels a little weird.

But it was the best massage you've ever had. I felt so good after. Okay. Well, I don't know. Now you got to decide. Are you going to go back? Right. But I mean, I would just ask.

I'd be like, oh, is this a thing like that you do to everybody or you just maybe feel like what the body needs? Yeah. Maybe he can tell like, oh, this would probably feel really good for her because of what I'm picking up. And it probably was more of that because obviously nothing happened after. It was just in that moment. That would make me uncomfortable. Yeah. And I just felt like a little vulnerable. Yeah. I don't like going to men at massages. Well, and I wasn't going to like say anything because I didn't specify. But again, they just only asked like, who do you want in particular? I was like, I don't know anybody here. So I guess just give me one. And that's what they gave me. And I wasn't going to walk in. and be like, oh, never mind. Yeah. I just kind of allowed it.

Well, did you, like, Google it? If that was normal. I don't know. I'm trying to look up, like, look at their menu, like, sweet. Maybe it says, like, FYI. No. We also stretch. It definitely doesn't say that.

That I looked at. Okay, well, maybe he was just listed. He was, like, feeling out what your body was going to need. And I guess I'll clarify. I mean, I've gone to male masseuses, but I just prefer going to. to a female. Like I don't, I don't, I just can't really fully relax. And that's not any male masseuse's fault. It's just I personally feel more relaxed and comfortable, which is the point of the massage if I'm with a fellow female. Yeah. Well, it's true because you're exposed, right? Like,

you're majority naked underneath a blanket. So that would make sense too. There was even one point, which I have had other female massage therapists do this where they go like, the way underneath your back and like pull it kind of up. But even when he was doing that, I was like, I feel a little close proximity in this moment. Ooh, but that's got to feel good. It did. I'm telling you. It was like genuinely one of the best massages I've had.

And that's why I'm like, do I even just, because I just like kind of let it go. It sounds to me like you could go back. I just want to, you just need to understand is that. Let's maybe not do some leg stretches on me because that felt a little weird. Yeah. But those are my experiences lately. It's been too little, like, fun new things. So do I have any weird experiences that have happened to me?

Weird or new or just fun things that have happened in your life recently. It can be all across the board. Let me think here. Well. Because those are just things that have, like, happened. I'm like, oh, these aren't necessarily normal. But they're new and they're different for me. So I'm learning to explore new things.

Yeah, I am still continuing my journey of adult dating. Yeah, which is new for me. I think that I have determined that I don't like going on dates, like multiple dates. I think with adult dating, like I could date multiple people if it's like a one date thing. Like I'm getting to know someone on that one date. And then maybe the next night I have one date with somebody else. But the minute it's like two dates, then I feel weird because I feel like I'm just to tell the other person, even though there's no expectations from that person or that person might be dating multiple people.

I feel like that's what my therapist keeps trying to tell me, Amy, this is adult dating. And I'm like, well, I don't like it. You're the one date threshold. Like, if we make it past the first date, then I'm just going to see what we're going to go out again. I'd rather just focus on that person and then like, yeah, texting and calling. Like, I don't know. It just feels weird. But here's the thing.

Yes, it's adult dating that when you're just casually meeting each other and understanding, and getting to know each other that you can date multiple people. But that's not for everybody. It's not for me. Like, just because that's more of the norm doesn't mean it's wrong that you don't want to do that. No, not at all.

And I have friends that they're, it's like, it's great. It's a great way to get to know yourself. We get to know what you want, what you don't want. And I mean, I've been, I don't know. I think I lasted four days. Well, and. And maybe this, like, do you feel like you, do you feel like you classify yourself as a deep feeler?

Like, you feel things. things really quickly or you just under like the feelings come fast or anything on that level. Oh like for the person I'm going out with like I would like fall hard fast. Not necessarily fall, but you just feel connected pretty quickly. I hear yeah. No, that doesn't always happen. Okay. No.

So that's why I'm more guarded. I think this is why this might be more of your speed because it takes you a little bit longer to like start to feel things for somebody. so you want to get to know them on a deeper so you can really make that decision. Whereas you have someone like me who's a deep feeler and I can feel things relatively a connection or not a connection relatively quickly. And so casual dating works for me because I can pinpoint that pretty fast. But for you, it's more of a connection that you have to take some time with it to develop.

Right. And then I feel like if I'm taking time with multiple people, it just feels. And you wouldn't because once you hit a threshold, even, I mean, I really say like, around that five date mark of with someone, you're kind of making a decision of, okay, I'm just going to start to pursue you. Even if you're not like boyfriend, girlfriend, you're like, okay, I'm going to focus my attention

on seeing where this goes. It's really around that five date level. And that might be for you where you're starting to be like, okay, maybe something's here. But you know what I mean? I don't know if any of this is making the right sense, but that could be why this is something. I mean, it's a theory, yeah.

Yeah. I think it's just a, I've been going with the flow. But yeah, I've hit a five date. seven days like I've yeah I don't know maybe there'll be more of an update later okay yeah well that's fun though it's new it's exciting it is I'm very happy well then that's all that matters right and I've figured it out because like I was not that I was like this is sort of exhausting and not that not because there was lots of people everywhere no it was just too I was like I don't like this you know it is it's hard to

to balance it, especially when it's something that's unknown and you're not sure what's going on and understanding other people's emotions and how they're going to handle that type of situation too because it's not just you involved anymore. There's other people involved. I will say that I was getting ready one day to go out on a date and I got a call from a friend that was like, hey, are you still dating so-and-so? And I was like, yeah, I'm getting ready right now. We're going to do something tonight. And she's like, okay, well, I'm at dinner right now with someone that's going to lunch. with him tomorrow and I was like what I was shocked not because I wasn't this is before I this this is that's the moment that I decided okay I need to if he's going to see multiple people then I should try that too

and so after that we had a conversation about it and it was a very mature adult dating conversation I love how you keep referring to it as adult dating yeah yeah that's me adult dating and you know we decided we'll keep talking and also I guess we're dating other people which I didn't have I guess I didn't think I had a right to say anything to him because it's not like we were exclusive so it's not like he had to tell me and I tried to keep it in but we were hanging out remember because he was like so then we were on our date and I just couldn't help myself and I was like I have something to say I don't think I was that passionate with I think I was more like hey like heads up I have something to tell you.

Yeah. And he's like, what? I was like, I got a phone call tonight. It's mind of my own business, getting ready. And this is what I was told. So like, I don't want anything to be weird, but I know that you're going out with such a little tomorrow. And he just kind of like hung his head.

And he's like, yeah. But again, we weren't exclusive. So there was nothing to, you know, I wasn't upset. Like he didn't owe me anything. But I was just like, hey, this is just a good, this is a good. time for us to have a conversation of like what what are we doing yeah and it was like okay well we're

adult dating you got a lesson in adult dating casually date and date other people and so that like I said that is the moment in which I was like okay well then I am going to also go out with somebody else and then that was I gave that like four days and I was like I can't do this I don't like it um so but again it's okay that you don't like it you don't have to there's no They're genuinely, this is what's so funny about dating conversations in general and people get so peeved at other people and how they date. There is genuinely no actual right or wrong way to date. If it feels good and feels right for you and how you want to go about doing it fast, slow, one person, multiple people while you're trying to figure it out, there really isn't a right or wrong as long as you feel good doing it. Now, if you feel bad doing it, then you're probably doing something wrong.

But there really isn't like this one two size that's going to fit everybody for how dating works, especially in the landscape of dating today. Especially as adults. As Amy says, adult dating. Well, we've often, mine are all adults with kids. Like, we're all adults with kids. I know. And so it's funny. And so it's another layer where I think communication is just so imperative because.

Which is hard because unfortunately, people don't like to communicate. communicate. Communicating is hard. I've had good, I've had a good, I guess, run or good luck with people that are able to communicate. Yes, but I think it's also, I think you have to give yourself more credit too, because I think you're also doing a lot of good communicating. Thank you. Yeah. I'll take that. I agree, because I have to, sometimes I might be the one starting the communication, but they follow. That's like, as long, or they're willing to participate. They don't just like shut down. Willing participant is a good thing. But yes, I think you are a really good communicator, so that's where that's helping.

Okay, we're going to take one more quick break. We'll be right back. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. I said, hi, Dad. And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen. She says, I have some cookies and milk. This is a badass convict. Right.

Just finished five years. I'm going to have cookies and milk at him all. Yeah. On the senior show podcast, each episode invites you into a raw, unfiltered conversations about recovery, resilience, and redemption. On a recent episode, I sit down with actor, cultural icon Danny Trail to talk about addiction, transformation, and the power of second chances.

It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer,

and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum-Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job.

There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to eating while, bro.

from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program. I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist and hosts of the podcast,

a slight change of plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans. We share stories and scientific insights to help us all better navigate these periods of turbulence and transformation. There is one finding that is consistent, and that is that our resilience rests on our relationships. I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change. We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes.

Listen to a slight change of plans on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're watching the latest season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, you already know there's a lot to break down. Gorsha accusing Kelly of sleeping with a merry man.

On a recent episode of the podcast, Money and Wealth, John Hobriant, I sit down with Tiffany the budgetista Aliche to talk about what it really takes to take control of your money. What would that look like in our families if everyone was able to pass on wealth to the people when they're no longer here? We break down budgeting, financial discipline, and how to build real wealth starting with the mindset shifts. Too many of us were never, ever taught. Financial education is not always about like, I'm going to get rich. That's great. It's

about creating an atmosphere for you to be able to take care of yourself and leave a strong financial legacy for your family. If you've ever felt you didn't get the memo on money, this conversation is for you to hear more. Listen to Money and Wealth with John O'Brien from the Black Effect Network on the I'd Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. These are just some funny questions that I came up with. So are you ready for this? Ready. What's a common, maybe household item that every time you use it, you feel really badass? A common household item that, like, maybe a bunch of people use. I have, like, a little shock back.

And every time you use it, you're like, I feel so awesome. Yeah, I go to the garage, like, fire it up. And I love, like, just going around. I do the baseboards with it or if I have to clean something in my car. I don't know. because I don't really use a drill or anything. Like, that's me picturing myself being badass would be using a drill, but I don't really do that. So I guess my shock back. But I feel like that is cool because it's one of those that it feels really clean after. It's also probably a cleanliness feeling after you do it.

You're like, oh, the house is spotless and I did that. Yeah. And it's wet, dry. Like I can suck up whatever. It'll get it all. I highly recommend them. If you don't have one, be a good. Christmas gift for somebody. Is it the one that's the handheld, not like a regular vacuum? Or is it?

I mean, it's a shock bag. So it looks like a like a round tub. Oh, with a little hose. Reobi. It's like green and it's got like a little thing. And then you can go around and just like suck things up. You can clean stuff in your car. You can clean stuff around the house. You can. I've always used those for my car. That's my specific like little car vacuum. Is that? And then I have a vacuum inside the house. But you use it for all the things? All the things. Yes. Cat litter. Oh my gosh. Cat litter gets around the house so much. I feel like I'll vacuum one day and then the next day I'm like, how, how? Where did this come from? Her little, your cat's paws. Literally, but they're everywhere. I do not understand how such a teeny tiny thing can make such a huge mess. What litter do you use? Pretty litter? Same. Okay, good. I was going to say it's the best. I love it. But it's little crystals everywhere because she'll, and I've watched her, she'll shoot out of her litter robot and it just, it's like sprays. I'm like, why can't you just gently step down out of that thing? Yeah. You have a litter robot?

Yeah. With pretty litter? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know you could do that. My cat, I had a litter robot. I had to get rid of it. She couldn't figure it out. Really?

No, it was always a mess, yeah. Like, she wouldn't go in there? I don't know. She just wouldn't go all the way in, and it just always ended up a mess, and then it would get stuck and it was like, supposed to rotate. But I didn't know, well, whatever one I had, you could not put pretty litter in it. You had to put this other kind. Anyway, it was.

I think they want you to use a specific kind, but it works in there. I've never had issues with it. Oh, well, good. Yeah. But she, I mean, I just said the other one and she started using the litter robot by herself and she was eight years old. So she just like, I think she likes finer things and didn't know that she had the option of finer things until that moment. That's funny. Okay. But yours also creates a mess. It's not just mine. Yeah. I mean, mine's not all over the house, but it's over by her litter box. Yeah. I've even tried to put like the little mats that are specifically. specific to help them and it does nothing. Yeah, I've bought two, I think, over the course of having Maggie and I've thrown both away because I'm like, this stupid. Yeah, it just like, it keeps them there. Now it just collects there. But it doesn't actually stop it from going anywhere. Yeah. So, you know, fellow cat parents, I guess if you have some really great tools for stopping litter tracking, I think is what they call it, that'd be cool. Okay. Well, mine was a corless drill. Oh, nice. Because anytime I get it out, I'm just like, yeah, I know how to use this. And I feel really powerful. I think I brought it out the other day just a screw in one screw, and I felt really cool in that moment.

But it was one screw. Like, I really didn't do all that much. I'm picturing it. I feel like I'm a little jealous. At least I know how to use it, too. Because you have to take a little thing out and put the right size drill in it to use it. Yeah, the drill bit. Look at us.

Modern day women. Okay, the last question I have. What odd feeling do you really like? And what I mean by this is like, like right now I'm biting my lip and it hurts really, really bad, but I keep biting it because it also feels good. Like that? Yes. And I was like, because I'm like, I know if I ask this in our main studio, all the guys would be like, oh, this is so dirty. But the reason it was is because like I love, I love rain in general. But when it's like perfectly misty outside and I'm just walking, like I'm kind of getting a nice little cold shower, but not really. And it's not doing anything to me. That feeling on my skin, it makes me so happy. I'll just. stand out there in the mist. Like I'm just like a little veggie being misted in the grocery store. Oh. So that feeling. And yes, the biting lip feeling is one. I was trying to come up with some others because I feel like there's so many odd feelings. If I have a mosquito bite and I it, it's a great

feeling. Like the minute I just succumb to the itch and I just scratch it. I know I say itch it, but really you're scratching it. But I when I was little, I used to always tell my mom, it's itching. Like if I had one, she would scratch it with her finger and then like poke it. Do the little X in it. Yes. Yes. And so that's what I would like to know if that X actually works. No. I don't think so. Because I feel like I still it after I do it. Yeah, I don't. But yeah, I still do it. That's not a thing. It just is something that we do to. I don't know who started that. But yeah. It's one of those myths that we used to do when we were younger. Oh, man. Yeah, I'm trying to think of some others. Oh, when you know, the worst feeling is when you get a itch on the bottom of your foot, but when you're finally able to scratch it because your shoes are

on, those are the best itches also on that same level. There has to be others. It was like odd feelings of things you don't really think about. I know. Right now I just keep biting my lip and biting my lip over and over. That's really good. Like the pain of it. Yeah. Oh, I love cute aggression feeling. Like when I see my dog and she looks so singing cute and I'm just like, I just want to, I just want to shake you. And I just like get to pet her like really hard. And she's like, what is wrong you. Yeah. But I love Q aggression. That could work, I guess, with my cat, my dog. She's a mess. My dog, I'm so angry with her. She gets into everything. She wants to eat everything. You know, recently she ate the money. And yesterday she was eating a wooden spatula. And like,

one of my favorite wooden spatulas. And she destroyed it. She just gets up on the counter. Like, even stuff that I put far away. Or like, if I leave a cabinet open. Now she started to go into the cabinets. And I mean, I walk her and give her attention. And I guess she's just still bored or needs something. But she ate an entire pack of gum, which is very dangerous. Do you think she's like just hungry? No.

I mean, I assume not. But I was just like maybe there's a, no. You mean like she's lacking like a nutrient? Like she's searching for it, right? Yeah. That's like when she eats the drywall out of the wall. That's not good. She'll do that.

She'll start digging little holes in the middle of the wall. I'm like, what are you doing? That's not good. You know, two things you could do to maybe help if it's like a brain energy thing. There's sniff mats that you can get on Amazon. And you put a bunch of treats in there. And then she feels like maybe that's something she could be eating, right? And it's like a 30-minute activity and they sniff through the whole mat.

It's like felt. And they just try and search for treats. And you can make it harder or easier on them. And it'll preoccupy them for a while. Okay. Honestly, I might look into ordering whatever that is. Yeah. Yeah, even with her food, I got her one of those balls where it's got a few holes in it. It's like a cong ball. And she has to nudge the ball around the house so that the food falls through the hole and out. And then she gets to eat it. So she's not just eating out of a bowl. She's eating out of this ball. But then she pushes the ball all around the house. And then there's little pieces of food everywhere if she happens to like forget one. And then I have to find the ball. Every time it's time to feed her. And I'm like, does anybody know where the ball is? Where's the ball? Okay, well, maybe start giving her her regular feeding it and then try the sniff mat because the sniff mat will all be in one place.

Okay, yeah. I'm going to look it up. Sniff mat, got it. Yeah. And then also I've seen people where they do a similar concept with the sniff mat, but they put it in like a frozen towel. Basically, they put a bunch of different treats and they put it in water in like a bowl and they freeze it. And then put it in a towel, also freeze the towel and kind of, it's like a, they have to pull it back and lick it. and it becomes an activity for them

and it consumes a lot of their time and tires them out because it's using their brain energy. About it. Similar on that concept. The sniff mat's the easier one, but the ice could be the second level if the sniff mat doesn't work.

Okay. Maybe some things to try. I'm literally looking it up right now. All the things. It has to. I mean, yeah. Or maybe there is like a nutrient she's missing and that's what it is.

You could try and start giving her like carrots and blueberries. They like those. You can put those in the sniff mats. This could be different nutrients. to give her. I don't know they could have blueberries. Blueberries are really good for their brains.

Okay. But no grapes. No grapes. No grapes or chocolate. No gum. Yeah, no zoosylothal. In peanut butter, but most peanut butter doesn't really have it anymore. Oh, I thought that Bobby just had an article about how some peanut butter is adding it.

Some might be. You always have to watch them. Which is what you have to, the sugar-free gum is why that's an issue. If you get like the natural jiffy, that one's peanut butter. water. So you're fine. Peanut butter and water. Or peanuts and water. Sorry. Peanuts and water. I think that's how they use it to mash it. Oh, it's like not. I think they also add peanut oil and molasses sometimes. Okay. I could be wrong. But the only reason I know this is because I've looked at a lot of ingredients and peanut butter is always an easy one because there's always like two or four

ingredients. Mm-hmm. I'm pretty sure that's with this. I'm looking at sniff mat. I'm literally on Amazon right now. sniff, mat for dogs. There you go. And like I said, you can make them easy to start and she can gradually work up to harder because it can like, it has a, like these little things where they contract. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah.

Maybe that'll be something. A lot of these have good reviews. But then sometimes I wonder, I'm like, are there really 3,000 people that have reviewed this, but. That I never know on Amazon. I don't really trust Amazon reviews. You know what I've started to look at when I click. on Amazon, like it'll tell you if you click on the item and you scroll down, sometimes it will say

this is a commonly returned item. That I have loved starting to see. And they'll give like a synopsis of the reviews. It's helpful. Of people liked this, this and this and they didn't like this. Although I will say that was on a shirt that I ordered Stevenson, like a white button down, because I'm going to take him to the CMAs. So I ordered him a little black suit off Amazon with a white button down and the white button down it said it was commonly returned but it was had still some solid reviews and it was a really good price and then it had a coupon so I was like well I'm just gonna okay fine if I have to return it I'm just going to give it a try and I got it in and it's perfect it's perfect it might be because it's a piece of clothing and sometimes they don't fit right

for people true so that's why it's returned a lot good point so maybe it's like crappy I would be more used to that on like items like this where there's not clothing. Clothing is tough to do online. But yeah, I can attest Remy has one. And Remy doesn't really like a lot of brain activities because she's pretty lazy. But she loves the sniff mat. Okay. I know. I may have to show them to you when we get done recording and you can tell me which one you actually got because there's a lot of cute ones. Okay. I got you. But maybe it'll help, hopefully. Hey, yeah, this could change my life. That's the hope. That's what we're trying to do. Okay. Well, we're going to jump out of here. But Amy, thanks for joining. I hope everybody had

a very happy Halloween. Amy, tell people where they can find you, hear you, all that good stuff. At Radio Amy, on socials, podcast, Four Things with Amy Brown.
