00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:08.640
Hi everyone.
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:11.759
Welcome to another episode of Bench to Bold.
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:12.480
I'm Marnie.
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:13.599
And I'm Elisa.
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:15.279
And uh thank you for joining us.
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.120
So today we're taking control of the show.
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:20.399
And what does that mean?
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:26.320
That means that you're gonna get to know a little bit more about me and Elisa.
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:28.399
And uh that's it.
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.160
So just the two of us talking.
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.960
All right, so Elisa, uh some questions.
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:34.880
What is your favorite flower?
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:38.479
Tulip.
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:39.280
Oh, nice.
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:39.600
Yeah.
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:40.079
Okay.
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:41.439
Is there a reason why?
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:42.960
No, I just love tulips.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:44.719
I think they're beautiful, they come in many colors.
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:45.200
Okay.
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:46.560
Um so I'm a tulip fan.
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:54.159
A lot I know a lot of people are rose love roses, but if you know, if someone's gonna send me flour, if my husband's gonna give me flowers, I you know, I'd love some tulips.
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.200
There's some beautiful colors.
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.240
My favorite color of the tulip is the peach one.
00:00:58.399 --> 00:00:58.560
Okay.
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.479
I just think they're a very unique, pretty flower.
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:03.039
They are.
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:15.200
And I've heard that if you okay, well, so I heard that with a tulip that you're supposed to um put a little pinhole at the top of this of the right where the tulip neck is.
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:16.319
Have you heard about this?
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:16.719
No.
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:26.000
So if you take a pin and you put a little pinhole at the top, it's supposed to let some of the air out and it keeps them fresher longer with the tulips.
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:26.560
Okay.
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.680
So some, you know, tulip knowledge.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:30.719
Tulip knowledge.
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:36.319
Um I think that, although it's not really a flower, but I love orchids.
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.879
So I think that I mean it is a flower.
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:40.159
Do you have a green thumb?
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:41.280
No, me either.
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:41.760
No.
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.560
I hate it when people I love it when people send me plants.
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:46.799
Yeah.
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.640
I just got one for my birthday in February and it's dead already.
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:54.239
Like I literally can't, and it's not an orchid.
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:59.040
It's a it's a it's an African violet.
00:01:59.280 --> 00:01:59.599
Okay.
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.319
And have you ever had African violets?
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:02.640
No.
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:02.959
Okay.
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:04.480
So I I don't have a green thumb.
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:05.040
It's dead.
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:05.680
Yeah.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.680
We had a babysitter, Olinda, and she was incredible.
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:19.919
I mean, like literally, I could bring any, I could bring leaves to her and she would resuscitate them and you know, make them and re bring them back to life.
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.199
She was Olinda was great.
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:27.280
She had a real and I never paid attention to see how she was doing it, but I do think that she's talked to them.
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:40.639
I think that there is some real um understanding of like talking to your plants and you know, making sure that they're feeling good and that people, you know, that do that, I think um, I think that's a nice thing.
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.759
I I'm gonna start talking to my plants, see if that brings them back to it.
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:45.280
I've tried talking to the plants.
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.039
I've tried watering them.
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.039
I feel I feel like I overwater them.
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.120
That most of them don't get a lot of light.
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.479
Yes, where they're at now.
00:02:52.560 --> 00:03:01.520
Now in the new house, I specifically wanted a sink with a beautiful window that I can look out and I can have my flowers to get the sunlight.
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:02.960
And I feel like that might help.
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:03.919
So I'm gonna try it.
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:04.400
Okay.
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.120
Um, but I feel like I oversaturate them.
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.240
I think most people do.
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.479
There's a company called Easy Plant that you that literally has like a reservoir.
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:21.360
You open it up and you fill it up once a month, and then you close it back up, and then it will kind of self-water.
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:22.960
And I've done pretty well with those.
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:23.360
Okay.
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:23.599
Yeah.
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.919
So I'm not a plant person, but yes, tulips.
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:27.199
Tulips are my flower.
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:27.680
What about you?
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:28.719
What you mean?
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:29.759
I I like orchids.
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.000
I like peonies as a flow you know, as a flower.
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.800
I love peonies, Casablanca lilies because they smell so good.
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:36.719
I was gonna say, I like things that smell good too.
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:37.680
Yeah, lilies in the vague.
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:38.240
Paper white.
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:39.520
Have you ever smelled paper white?
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:40.719
Yeah, those are delicious too.
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:41.360
Oh my gosh.
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.240
And Pottery Barn makes a paper white candle.
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:45.199
I bet it's great.
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:45.840
It is.
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:46.240
Yeah.
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:46.960
It's great.
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.919
Uh so I like things that have like a nice smell.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:57.360
I mean, roses are good, but not, but usually roses from a florist are not roses like English garden roses.
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:05.919
Like if I was gonna, you know, choose a ro, I'd be like, I want an English garden rose because they and I think silver roses are the ones that are the most fragrant.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:06.479
Okay.
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.639
Yes, out of all the roses, the silver roses.
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:09.520
Yeah, I don't know enough.
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.360
I don't know a lot about flowers or plants.
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.000
I just tulips my favorite flower.
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:14.400
Yeah.
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.720
I don't know a lot of because I can't do it.
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.000
Um I don't have green thumb.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.680
I mean, lilies die in my house.
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.759
The nice thing about lilies is you can water them and they come back to life almost immediately.
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.519
Yeah, and I think hydrangeas too.
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:26.560
I think that like that's how it is.
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:27.600
These lilies, yes.
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:27.839
Yes.
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.279
I think with hydrangeas, but uh, but I do love fresh flowers.
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.839
My mom was really into fresh flowers, and so So there's a company that I met.
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.439
Um I did a Pilates event uh a couple weeks ago.
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:46.959
I've done two so far um at Rolls-Royce of Charlotte, um, Rolls-Royce and McLaren of Charlotte, and they invited me for this fabulous event.
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:52.000
And the last one was last month, and they had a flower bar.
00:04:52.160 --> 00:05:00.399
And so these these wonderful ladies, and I I literally can't think of the name of them, but they actually I asked them, do you br do this?
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.120
Do you have a like a monthly service that you bring these beautiful flowers to people's homes?
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.480
And they were like, Yes, we can do it weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:09.839
And I said, sign me up.
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.439
Yeah, when when the new house is done, I want fresh flowers in my house.
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.680
Um, you know, at least every other week.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:16.319
Oh, yeah.
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.560
Because they're they make you feel good.
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.720
I know, and they are good and they smell good.
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.879
They look good, they look good and they smell good.
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:24.959
And uh yeah, I I agree.
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:26.639
That's um it's nice.
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.639
It's a nice thing to and and when they're well done, they last a long time.
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:38.160
Yeah, it's kind of um one of those things, and and there's a guy, his name is Jeff, and uh you probably know his last name because he's renowned.
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.560
Um, he does the flowers in hotels.
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.399
Yeah, the four seasons in Los Angeles.
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.439
And the breakers, yeah, in Florida, in Palm Beach.
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.480
Um, and I can't think of his last name, but oh my gosh.
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:55.600
It's so nice to walk into a hotel and see that beautiful and they change them out, you know, while you're most of the time while you're there.
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.879
Um, so yeah, flowers are a nice touch.
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:07.360
Yeah, and some hotels they really they they know that that's really an important part of their uh of their hotel budget, their lobby.
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.600
Yes, it's just the presentation.
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.199
You know, my grandfather would say presentation is everything.
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.120
And uh he's right.
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.639
I mean, not every I mean, I would say almost everything.
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.279
If you have no substance, then the presentation is gonna be kind of thin and flimsy.
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.759
But if you um it certainly helps having good presentation for sure.
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:28.560
Yes, yes.
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:41.920
All right, so um uh chocolate over like gummy or uh like would you prefer like a chocolate candy over a gummy type of candy?
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:48.399
Okay, if someone knows me, they know me that I'm a fireball, laughy taffy, and tootsu roll girl.
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:48.879
Okay.
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:49.680
That's my thing.
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.600
Now I'll take chocolate all day long.
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.839
But tutsi rolls make me so happy.
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.439
In fact, we order fireballs monthly to our house.
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:05.199
I think Randy and I both I've broken two teeth on fireballs once when I was in Spain.
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:15.120
Um, luckily it was on the tail end of my trip to come home because it was a bad break to one of my back teeth because I don't suck on them, I chew them, I chomp on them.
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.480
But they're I mean, but wouldn't that's hard to do.
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:19.199
Yeah.
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:20.399
It's very hard to do.
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.079
That's why my tooth broke twice.
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:26.720
The dentist is like, okay, we gotta have an intervention here.
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:27.279
Right.
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:28.240
Right.
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:36.879
Because you have a tooth now that I you have to have put a crown on because you've broken it twice and we can't fix it without a crown.
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:38.240
So what about this?
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.160
I used to like big red chewing gum.
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:40.720
Oh, I love it.
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:41.199
Do you remember that?
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:41.759
Yes, okay.
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.879
Speaking of that, did you ever make cinnamon cinnamon toothpicks?
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.759
No, but I've had I mean, I know they used to sell them at like gas stations.
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.279
Well, I used to sell them at school.
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:51.759
Okay.
00:07:51.920 --> 00:08:00.480
Like in intermediate school in fifth and sixth grade, we would make toothpicks, package them up, and sell them to people at school.
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.680
Because yeah, cinnamon, big red gum was right.
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:04.959
I loved big red gum.
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:05.920
It was good.
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:06.319
Yeah.
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:07.680
It didn't hold its flavor very long.
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:08.480
It does not.
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.360
You have to put multiples in and then sit it out and put some more.
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:13.040
Start over, but it was good.
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.240
I also liked freshen up.
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:15.120
Remember freshen up?
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:15.839
Yeah, the juicy.
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:17.360
Yes, and then they had a cinnamon.
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:18.480
Do they still make that?
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:19.199
I don't know.
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:20.079
Probably not.
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:28.560
But I mean, my mom was not like a huge gum chewer, but I just I have visuals of her like chewing the mint freshen up, having it in the car.
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:29.199
So good.
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:31.759
And yeah, here and it's crazy like toxic now.
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:32.080
Yeah.
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.159
You know, that's probably why they don't make it anymore.
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:34.480
I know.
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.080
Bubblish and bubble yum.
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:36.879
Those are my favorites.
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:38.480
So you are you a chocolate?
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:39.919
I'm a chocolate person.
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:46.000
I mean, I I I would go like with a I don't like, I don't like gummy worms.
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:47.279
I like a Swedish fish.
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.720
Like, I just like that texture more than the gummy worm.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:57.519
Um, but I so I I would have it like I like a Swedish fish, that texture, but I'm team chocolate all day.
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:59.519
So Well, I'm not gonna turn it down.
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:00.000
Yeah.
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.600
I would prefer chocolate to this gummy things.
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:05.759
Do you prefer dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:13.279
Well, now dark, but when I was younger, it was like milk chocolate, like a Cadbury Easter egg was I mean of.
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:13.919
I mean, yeah.
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.639
That was, but I did like peeps too.
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.679
I mean, I guess I liked all sugar, but um, I still do.
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:26.879
But I liked, I loved the peeps and I loved the Cadbury cream eggs like around Easter time.
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.679
Those were are you a candy corn girl?
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:30.879
Yeah, I love candy corn.
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:31.279
Oh, good.
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:31.440
Yeah.
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:31.919
Me too.
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:36.000
I like the Indian corn or whatever with the chocolate caramel and the chocolate.
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:41.279
Well, because the Indian corn has like the extra layer on it with the chocolate part of it.
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.559
Well, they got smart, they started making different flavors like that.
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.360
So I just a bag of the Indian mix.
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:48.639
Yeah, I like that.
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.240
And I like the pumpkins also.
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:51.200
I love the pumpkins.
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:51.919
The pumpkins.
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.080
I don't know what what like it's just just what sugar and water.
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:56.960
Corn syrup.
00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:58.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:58.320 --> 00:09:58.720
It's good.
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:00.559
Oh, it's not good for you, but it's good.
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:00.960
No.
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:01.360
Yeah.
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.679
Um, okay, so flowers and candy.
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.799
I feel like those are like two really important things to know.
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:08.559
Um let's see here.
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:09.919
What about cookies or cake?
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:10.879
Oh, well, I like it all.
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.879
I never met a cookie I didn't like, Alisa.
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:13.600
Come on.
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:14.240
Come on.
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.320
If it has coconut in it, I can't do it.
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:17.679
No, I do like coconut.
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:18.960
I like coconut.
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:19.120
Yeah.
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:20.240
I know you like coconut.
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:21.279
I like coconut.
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:22.399
I like coconut.
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:23.600
I like chocolate.
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.000
I I like things out of a box.
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:26.960
I'm fine with it.
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:28.240
Never been a coconut.
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:29.840
Now, it's the texture for me.
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:30.159
Okay.
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:30.720
Coconut.
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.120
So if it's like coconut flavor, I can do it.
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:33.440
Okay.
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:41.360
But if it's coconut cake or coconut cream pie, I'm not the texture of this, it's stringy and it's just, I don't know.
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:42.480
It's like watercress.
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:43.600
I don't like watercress.
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:44.240
Okay.
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:48.480
Now, what about um so you would not have a watercress tea sandwich?
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:48.960
No.
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:49.440
Okay.
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:49.919
Mm-mm.
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:58.320
So maybe they could put coconut on a lot of things and watercress and that would maybe it would decrease my caloric intake.
00:10:58.559 --> 00:10:58.720
Right.
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:00.320
Well, watercress is pretty.
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.440
Uh, I feel like you don't hear people having watercress lately.
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.679
They put it in salads a lot, I feel like.
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:06.080
Yeah.
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.759
Um, but no, yeah.
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:13.600
Uh, they make um at this horse show that we used to go to growing up, the big Devin Horse Show.
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.840
It's huge, you know, Devin Horse Show on Country Fair.
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:16.960
It's like 10 days long.
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.279
And they're famous for their tea sandwiches.
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.399
And so they've got different tea sandwich flavors.
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:36.000
One of them, which is when I was first introduced, I guess, to watercress as a young girl, was a watercre, but it's water, I think they make it, it's either cream cheese with watercress, you know, it's similar to a cucumber tea sandwich, but they put similar to that.
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.200
So, um, but they do have watercress um sandwiches.
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:40.320
So not a fan.
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.320
All right, we won't get you those or the coconut cake.
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:43.200
No coconut.
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:44.559
No, but they do have good fudge.
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.679
Like almond joys.
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:46.000
Yeah.
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:46.799
Uh no.
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:52.399
I feel like that's the only candy bar they should make, so I would not be enticed to get a candy bar.
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.840
Well, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't, right?
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:56.559
Exactly.
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:57.360
Oh my gosh.
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:01.360
I mean, yeah, they don't have that slogan anymore, I don't think.
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.519
But um, yeah, no, I liked an almond joy.
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:08.960
It wasn't necessarily my first choose like choosing, but I didn't turn it away.
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.960
I liked um a Heath bar and a score bar.
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:13.679
Those two.
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:19.919
Anything toffee or caramel were uh I feel like my go-to candy bar is Zero Bar.
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:21.919
Have you ever had a Zero Bar with the nugget?
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.559
Yeah, caramel, and they even make a white chocolate one.
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:26.000
Oh my gosh, so good.
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.679
It's like in the silver, blue, silver with blue writing.
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:34.960
Um, I feel like you could only find them um at they're so old school.
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.600
I feel like you can only find them at like the masked general store where they have all the old candy.
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:40.480
Oh, the old candy.
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:40.799
Yeah.
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.200
Yeah.
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:42.320
Oh, yeah, where they have that.
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:42.639
No.
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.519
I mean, I feel like I've seen it, but I don't think I've ever had one.
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:46.240
Yeah, it's good.
00:12:46.399 --> 00:13:01.039
But it'll be on the okay, so um, like who out of anybody, let's just say, I mean, of course, living or not living, and we're gonna take family out of it because you know, who would you want to have a meal with?
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:02.159
Anyone in the world?
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:03.200
Who would you be interested in?
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:04.080
Madonna.
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:04.960
Okay, Madonna.
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:05.759
And why Madonna?
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:06.399
Stands down.
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:12.480
Well, I mean, she was I grew up in the Madonna era, the borderline, uh, I wanted to be Madonna.
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:12.799
Okay.
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:14.240
Yeah, and I still love Madonna.
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:14.639
Yeah, I know.
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.600
Yeah, she's just iconic, right?
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:21.840
Yeah, she she is she was my Taylor Swift growing up.
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.159
Yeah, that's um that was Madonna.
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:29.360
I mean, you and I are very similar in age, and you know, so Madonna, the Cindy Lauper day.
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:33.919
I wasn't really a huge I like Cindy Lauper's music, but I was a Madonna fan.
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:41.919
Yeah, I prefer, I mean, I I mean I I think that I mean Cindy Lauper was really an a different kind of artist than Madonna.
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.559
So it they much more eclectic.
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.840
Yeah, more eclectic.
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:52.159
And and I think that we all um and I think Madonna just presented herself, you know, differently.
00:13:52.320 --> 00:14:03.600
Obviously, she, you know, did get a little um a a little bit too much some in certain categories at you know, for young kids to really understand vulgarity.
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:08.799
Yeah, I didn't really understand, even even though I was a teenager, some of the stuff that was going on.
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:13.840
But now I look on it, I'm like, okay, you know, I she had a real strong opinion and point of view.
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:14.720
And she did.
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:16.320
And she I felt like she still does.
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:16.799
Yeah.
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.279
And uh so she's beautiful still.
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:20.559
Oh yeah.
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:42.000
I mean, she's and she knows how to per um persuade and be persuasive of the media and also of you know the music business, which is you know, Hollywood, but I mean people, but the entertainment business in general, you know, you really have to be a strong animal to survive that that world.
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:48.080
I mean, I feel like that's why we probably lost some of the great artists like Prince and Michael Jackson and maybe Houston.
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:48.879
You know.
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:50.559
Yeah, I love Prince.
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:51.279
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.759
Prince was I I prefer Prince to Michael Jackson.
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:54.399
Me too.
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:56.399
Uh, but I like Michael.
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.399
But I mean Prince I thought was, you know, was great.
00:14:58.639 --> 00:14:59.120
I'm so sad.
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:00.399
I never went to a concert.
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:00.879
Yeah.
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:06.159
I went to see, I mean, gosh, um, Purple Rain, the Purple Rain Tour.
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.480
Yeah.
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.960
Uh my friend Nessa and I went to see Prince.
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:18.000
And um, somewhere, I think, in Nessa's one of her old, you know, boxes of junk from our old days, she's got, they were selling purple roses.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:23.759
And I think she's got at the at the concert, I think she's got one of those from the old days.
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:25.759
So a funny story about Prince.
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:33.200
I was in school at University of North Con at Greensboro, and um I ran over to the shopping center called Friendly Shopping Center in Greensboro.
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:38.799
It was an outdoor shopping center, kind of like Burke Dale, um, is here in Charlotte or up at the lake.
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:46.080
And um I wanted to go in Victoria's Secrets, and um it was shut down.
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:51.840
There were security guards standing outside, and I thought, are those security guards because there's just been a robbery in here or what's going on?
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.480
And then there was a huge white limo out in front.
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:56.639
And I was like, that's interesting.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.080
Well, I'm very, you know, I'll I'll ask, you know, what's going on in here?
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:00.639
And I did.
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:05.279
And the security guard was like, uh Prince is in town, and he's in Victoria's Secrets right now.
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.960
And he was performing at Greensboro call see him that night.
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.360
Um did you get to see him?
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:16.559
No, he yeah, just from a very far distance because I would not let you get near the door.
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:22.639
But I kind of stayed back and kind of waited for him to come out, and yeah, I got to that it was far, far away.
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:27.679
I think he's very he mean he was very tiny, tiny, petite, very petite.
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:29.120
Now I've been to Paisley Park.
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:35.919
Randy and I used to go to this music festival up there, and we had some free time and we went to visit Paisley Park.
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.159
And if you haven't been, you should go.
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.360
It is fabulous.
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:39.679
Yeah.
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:44.559
You got to go in one of his studios, and only one of them they would allow you to take pictures in.
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.080
There were only parts of the Paisley Park that they would allow you to take pictures in.
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.480
So I got some great um photos at Paisley Park.
00:16:53.200 --> 00:17:02.960
But it was nice to see how they some of that stuff like when he would perform, like on Friday nights, he would open it up and let people come in that lived there, and he would perform for them.
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:13.119
They kind of left that untouched, and he had three of his cars in there, and all of his outfits were you know placed throughout Paisley Park.
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:14.160
It was amazing.
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:15.440
But I was a huge Prince fan.
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:16.240
What about you?
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:18.720
If you had to sit down with someone, um who would it be?
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:20.079
Ben Franklin.
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:21.839
Okay, yeah, Benjamin.
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:30.960
I well, I mean, part of it is this, I mean, he was such an incredible renaissance man and so brilliant and an inventor and ahead of his time.
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:33.839
And I, you know, love hundred dollar bills.
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.160
So how's gonna say do you like hundred dollar bills?
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:37.279
Of course, who doesn't?
00:17:37.440 --> 00:18:29.200
But uh, but yeah, Ben Franklin to me, and uh and just I mean, such an incredible mind, and and it would be so fascinating, and and certainly, you know, growing up in Philadelphia, obviously, you know, lots of history there, but uh, but Ben Franklin, I think, would be somebody that I would love to uh just listen to him and talk about, you know, the early days of the the country and and being and truly, and he really was or I've I've read a bunch of books about Ben Franklin, and he was the the a perfect version of Renaissance Man and was very influenced by other countries and would really understood people and compassion and empathy and also the arts and uh he was funny, so I think that um yeah, I would like to uh have dinner with or some something like that with Ben Franklin.
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:29.920
Yeah.
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:32.160
Boy, if we could go back to those times, right?
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:35.599
Yeah, but just for like a second, because I like the times that we live in now.
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:36.079
Absolutely.
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:43.039
I don't think I would really enjoy living in the um revolutionary war era, but I think that they were incredible patriots.
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.279
So thank I you know have the patriotism.
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:46.319
Yes, today.
00:18:46.559 --> 00:19:00.960
And uh yes, as we get closer to our two uh it's crazy, 250th birthday of our country, which is young compared to many other countries, but it's like you go and you think about what they what was going on and all the technology.
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:02.720
We're sitting here in a podcast studio.
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:03.839
I mean all the chat.
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:04.960
Chat GPT.
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:05.599
I know.
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:07.759
I mean Ben Franklin created the newspaper.
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:13.200
I mean, he I mean, they were writing it out long form, and then he created a c way to copy it.
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:18.799
And so things like that is just so interesting, and now here we are using chat GPT to I know.
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:20.480
Did you ever watch the Jetsons?
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:21.039
Oh, yeah, of course.
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:21.680
I loved it.
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:26.400
Did you ever lay in bed and watch the Jetsons on Saturday morning and think, yeah, this is so fake?
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:28.079
Yeah, we are actually living in Jetsons.
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:28.319
I know.
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:30.640
I mean, we have cars in Charlotte now that drive themselves.
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.440
I know, right?
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:32.079
Yeah.
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.720
I mean, when we were in San Francisco, I mean that was there were a dime a dozen.
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:37.519
Yep.
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.680
I mean, I was just in DC and I saw, you know, they have them in Atlanta everywhere.
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.000
Yeah.
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:46.000
Now I'm skeptical on on them because they've caused some crashes.
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.799
But, you know, I'm a little scared to get in one.
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:49.599
Are you?
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:52.880
Uh I've been in one actually, but in Vegas.
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.880
But I mean, you know, that's you know, all bets are off, literally in Vegas.
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:58.559
And I was like, all right, whatever.
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.720
Uh I didn't realize I was getting in.
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:05.279
I didn't realize that that was what was happening at the moment because I was probably on my phone not paying attention.
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:08.400
I was like, oh my gosh, we're in a car and there's no driver.
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:09.359
Yeah.
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:10.160
Uh but it was fine.
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.440
It's still weird.
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:12.559
Yeah, it was weird.
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:17.440
I mean, it's counterintuitive because you know, you have no control sitting in the back seat of anything.
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:18.000
Yeah.
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:29.920
But I mean, it uh it uh, but there was something kind of nice about it because I was like, okay, you know, I this is you don't have to talk to anyone or or answer any questions that that's crazy Uber driver ask you.
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:31.920
Yeah, although I've been I become friends.
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.839
I I usually try to get um a female Uber driver.
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:36.480
I don't know why.
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:38.640
It just sometimes and they become my friends.
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:45.440
So I have collected Uber drivers all over the United States that um Marnie, I feel like you can make friends with anyone.
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.039
Well, probably.
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:54.240
But I I, you know, and most of the Uber drivers that I've met, they all do it kind of as their way to support their family.
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:58.400
Like, you know, my I met a this lovely woman and I was like, why are you driving Uber?
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:05.119
She was like, Oh, my kid plays travel baseball, and this is just an extra way to earn income so that we can pay for that.
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:18.960
And then another one, you know, she was like, Well, it um forces my husband to be home with the kids, and I rather be out making some money, like on my own time versus, you know, going out and you know, whatever, doing anything.
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:25.920
So I feel like people that are doing those kind of extra jobs, the ones that I've met, they all have a really good purpose to do it.
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:32.240
And um, but I don't I still think that the uh the self-driving ones are interesting and yeah.
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:34.000
I need to at least try it once.
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:34.400
Yeah.
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:35.519
But it is weird.
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:36.880
I don't like going over bridges.
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.640
And so I did not go over a bridge in a self-driving one because that probably would have freaked me out.
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:41.200
Oh yeah.
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:41.599
Yeah.
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.279
Bridges just I'm not uh I don't I'm okay with a tunnel.
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:46.960
Is it because you're scared of heights?
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:49.359
Maybe I think I might be a little bit afraid of heights.
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:51.920
Like the bridge in Charleston going over the state.
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:54.319
Yeah, I've done that, but I I cover my eyes.
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:55.359
I don't want to see it.
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:55.680
Yeah.
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.160
Like, how do you fly if you're scared of heights?
00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:59.759
Flying's different, bridges too.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:07.680
Me are um and when I lived in Philadelphia and I worked at NFL Films and I lived in Philadelphia and they're in South Jersey.
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.279
I would have to take there were th one of three different bridges every day.
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:20.079
You have to go over the water to get to Jersey, and I did not enjoy that, but I did it because we have to do hard things, but I did not, I don't like bridges.
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:20.720
Yeah, okay.
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:21.759
Well, that's new to me.
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.599
Yeah, I'm okay with a tunnel, but a bridge, I mean, I'll do it.
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.599
I've I, you know, yeah, uh, it's not my thing, but you're fine with it.
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:30.319
Fine with bridges.
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:31.039
Totally fine.
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:32.960
I'm not scared of height, so yeah.
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:42.880
Yeah, I don't think I'm scared of height, but I would prefer, but I don't love like um like hotel rooms that are really high up.
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:44.240
See, I prefer that.
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:46.319
I don't get the better view.
00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:50.480
You do get a good view, but I don't love looking down.
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:54.319
I don't love that look um so much.
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:56.079
But um, see, I'm starting to get sweaty.
00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:58.000
So you can never bungee jump.
00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.680
No, oh gosh, no, no.
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.799
I mean, have you been in the stratosphere in Vegas?
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:06.400
Yeah, I've been, I mean, I've been Did you do the experience where you go out?
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:06.880
No.
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.359
Okay.
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:15.839
No, no, because I no, that would be uh, you know, I I don't I don't know Randy won't get near a glass in the like in the Empire State Building.
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.559
He won't even get near the the glass to look down.
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:27.119
What I have done is at the Grand Canyon, and I didn't know that I was doing this, you know, they have um the you can go to the top of the Grand Canyon and then you can walk.
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:30.640
They have the glass walk where you're literally You can see.
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:36.079
Yeah, and then you and uh so it's controlled by the Indian tribe.
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:40.319
So um, you know, you can't really take any pictures because they don't like that.
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.720
They like to take pictures and then charge you for the pictures.
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:45.519
And I so I didn't get any pictures, but I did that.
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:51.680
And um, you have to wear booties over your shoes because I don't want to scratch the um the glass walk.
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:52.799
So I did that.
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:58.400
Um, but that was I did not know that I was doing that, and uh, you know, but I did it.
00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:58.720
Okay.
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.759
Yeah, but I don't choose to torture myself like that anymore.
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:10.000
Like I everyday life is torture enough sometimes where I'm not like I'm just gonna go do something where I have to see heights.
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:13.839
So no, I don't, I'm not a big fan of heights, but I'm fine flying.
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:14.799
Flying's different.
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:16.880
Yeah, I feel like I'm okay with that.
00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:20.720
And yeah, some of the other things about flying scare me more than heights.
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:25.039
Well, like the other day I was enclosed in a in a plane with mentally ill people.
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:26.079
It's kind of scary.
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:27.759
Well, that is definitely scary.
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:34.799
Yesterday, or the other day when I was on the plane, the um the electrical to plug things in was not working.
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:40.240
And so I had said to the flight attendant, I said, wait, the electric, she's like, she was like, let me just clarify.
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:41.920
Electrical is working.
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:47.039
You can't charge your phone like this electrical, the little plugs that they have near the seats, that's not working.
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:50.559
But don't worry, the electrical on the plane is working.
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.440
Otherwise, we're not gonna be.
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:52.720
Well, she clarified for you.
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:53.519
Yeah, she did.
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:54.799
She was like, Okay, don't worry.
00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:05.279
I feel like that happens more often lately, that our devices are not being able to connect and also get charged.
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:06.960
Uh I don't know if they're doing it on purpose.
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:08.480
I sometimes think it is on purpose.
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:09.200
I think so too.
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:14.559
I feel like, and I'm not a paranoid person, but I sometimes think that it's frustrating.
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:20.720
Yeah, that uh that you can't that that's like, you know, just um by design.
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:24.880
But you know just being able to work while you're in flight and it makes the time go by.
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:32.880
Even if you're not working and you're just able to surf the internet, it makes the time go f go by faster, especially if you have a you know, from east coast to west coast.
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:34.319
It's terrible.
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:38.880
It's torture to me to have to fly from here to Vegas and not have any connection for Wi-Fi.
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:39.279
Yeah.
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:44.720
I mean, remember, I mean, how you we have to like read a book or something back in the old or magazine.
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:49.119
Well, I would then just bring stacks of stacks of magazines.
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:52.400
That's what I would, you know, would bring all the magazines.
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.839
And now you don't know they don't even really, you know, no one buys magazines really.
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:56.079
No.
00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:58.160
Do you have you read when was the last time you read?
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:04.319
Maybe like at a uh no, like at a doctor's office, or might be like a local like Charlotte magazine.
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:14.079
The last time I looked at a magazine was I loaded up on a bunch of magazines on our plane coming home from Florida, in case we did not have Wi-Fi that I could look through interior design.
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:21.839
You know how at the FBO at the private um airport, they'll have those um all the magazines with interior design and all the things.
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:23.359
And so that kept me occupied.
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:25.200
However, I did learn something.
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:30.880
All of the front of the magazines are different, but everything almost inside of each one of them is the same.
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:31.359
Right.
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:35.599
So I loaded up with 10 books and they were all the same inside.
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:37.839
Well, because I feel like they're mostly ad books now.
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:42.240
You know, it's all advertising it's always magazines have always been advertising, but yeah.
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.279
Um, okay, so we're gonna wrap this up.
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:47.200
How about your favorite movie?
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:49.119
Do you have a favorite movie?
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:52.160
I mean, my all-time favorite movie was Top Gun.
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:52.400
Okay.
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:53.839
And then I loved the second one.
00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:55.519
Yeah, it's fabulous.
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:58.319
Um But uh, you know what?
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:00.240
I've never been a TV person.
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:13.440
So to have a favorite movie, um you know, I I I get interested in movies when I see them, but uh I think back on like, oh my god, I really loved that movie.
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:13.839
No.
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:17.039
Um same thing with that series, honestly.
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:24.480
I don't know if I've told you this, but I've never watched an episode of Sex in the City or Friends or Seinfeld.
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.240
Oh, well, they're good shows.
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:38.640
I mean, I I mean, back again, now we have many other things to kind of, you know, we don't but I remember watching those shows, you know, certainly Friends and and uh and Seinfeld on Thursday night.
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:40.799
Yeah.
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:41.839
I I think for me.
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:46.000
Well, for me being an only child, I definitely TV was like my best friend.
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:46.720
I mean, obviously.
00:27:49.440 --> 00:28:00.240
But to like sitcoms or like Facts of Life or Alex of Life or The Jeffersons or Andy Griffith, Beverly Hillbillies, Mash, that, yes.
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.079
I loved the Brady Bunch and of course Bewitched and I dream and genie.
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:06.720
Those were like my three go-to's when I was growing up.
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.920
And then I think as I got older, certainly the facts of life.
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:13.839
I mean, you know, Bill Cosby show was another one.
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.759
I mean, I loved the Cosby show.
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:16.400
We all did.
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:18.160
And then all the things, yeah.
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:19.920
So surrounded that.
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:27.440
Um, but definitely, you know, then then more of the one hour shows, like of course I loved Dynasty and Dallas.
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:28.880
I mean, those were fun to watch.
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:29.440
Absolutely.
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:34.400
On Friday night, you know, when I was growing up, Who Shot Jr was like, you know, was the thing.
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:43.119
And I think for movies, I think, you know, obviously I would say some of the real, I mean, of course, The Wedding Singer has to be one of my favorites.
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:43.920
Well, you're in it.
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:48.480
I'm in it, but uh, we're gonna remove that one from like my favorite list.
00:28:48.559 --> 00:29:01.519
I I like, and I don't really watch a lot of TV, but if it was on, like, of course, like Gone with the Wind, like some of those classic movies that I think are so entertaining and beautiful to watch and tell a great story.
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:05.359
I really uh I think that those are um some great movies.
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:12.480
And then there's some more of like there's a movie, movie that was out when I loved all the John Hughes movies, Pretty and Pink and Sixteen Candles.
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:13.119
Oh yeah.
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:17.039
Those were def um kind of age-defining pretty much pretty woman.
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:18.240
Yeah, that was another good one.
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:20.400
Yeah, that was uh that was a great one.
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:29.359
So I think lately the series that I can say that I really that really I could binge watch was uh, you know, probably back in 2016.
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:31.680
Um Sons of Anarchy.
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:33.359
Oh yeah, I've never watched it.
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:34.160
The Ozarks.
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:36.319
Oh yeah, Ozarks is great, yeah.
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:40.880
Um yeah, yeah, so that kind of thing.
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.680
And then the hunting wives, you know, they could have left some of the parts out of the hunting wife.
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:50.319
I would have been fine with the some of that, some of that, but yeah, I think my husband liked it.
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:51.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.559
What man wouldn't like that?
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:53.279
I'm sure.
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:56.160
I I haven't seen enough of it to know, but I started watching it.
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.720
You told me to watch it, so I've been it's good, you know, and because they're filming it all over Charlotte.
00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:02.480
Yeah, that's that's kind of fun too.
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:07.039
All right, so fine last question favorite color?
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:07.759
Pink.
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:09.200
Okay, yeah, I love pink.
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:10.079
Yeah, I love pink.
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:11.599
My mom's favorite color was pink.
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:17.440
I would say like I go between like pink and like a a teal green blue.
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:19.519
Well, and that looks really good on you because your eyes.
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:20.240
Yeah, thank you.
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:21.200
So the same with you.
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:24.240
So those are green eyes, so greens and blues.
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:26.559
We always get compliments after that when we have those colors.
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:27.519
Try to, you know.
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:29.279
Oh my gosh, your eyes, they look so beautiful.
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:32.079
I'm like, well, it's not my eyes, it's the what I'm wearing.
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:33.279
It's making my eyes look beautiful.
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.079
Well, it's a combination of all of it, but yes, all right.
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:37.920
So um, all right, well, great.
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:41.039
Well, Lisa, I learned some things today, so that was lots of fun.
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:42.480
Yeah, I think we should do this again.
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:43.200
I think so too.
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:44.480
There's a lot to uncover.
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:45.599
Oh, yeah, there's a lot more.
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.680
I had a lot more questions, but we'll, you know, we'll wrap it up for another day, another time.
00:30:50.160 --> 00:30:56.559
So uh thank you everyone for tuning in and learning a little bit more about me and must and me.
00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:58.400

Thank you.
00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:08.640
Hi everyone.
00:00:08.800 --> 00:00:11.759
Welcome to another episode of Bench to Bold.
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:12.480
I'm Marnie.
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:13.599
And I'm Elisa.
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:15.279
And uh thank you for joining us.
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.120
So today we're taking control of the show.
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:20.399
And what does that mean?
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:26.320
That means that you're gonna get to know a little bit more about me and Elisa.
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:28.399
And uh that's it.
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.160
So just the two of us talking.
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.960
All right, so Elisa, uh some questions.
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:34.880
What is your favorite flower?
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:38.479
Tulip.
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:39.280
Oh, nice.
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:39.600
Yeah.
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:40.079
Okay.
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:41.439
Is there a reason why?
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:42.960
No, I just love tulips.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:44.719
I think they're beautiful, they come in many colors.
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:45.200
Okay.
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:46.560
Um so I'm a tulip fan.
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:54.159
A lot I know a lot of people are rose love roses, but if you know, if someone's gonna send me flour, if my husband's gonna give me flowers, I you know, I'd love some tulips.
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.200
There's some beautiful colors.
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.240
My favorite color of the tulip is the peach one.
00:00:58.399 --> 00:00:58.560
Okay.
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:02.479
I just think they're a very unique, pretty flower.
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:03.039
They are.
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:15.200
And I've heard that if you okay, well, so I heard that with a tulip that you're supposed to um put a little pinhole at the top of this of the right where the tulip neck is.
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:16.319
Have you heard about this?
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:16.719
No.
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:26.000
So if you take a pin and you put a little pinhole at the top, it's supposed to let some of the air out and it keeps them fresher longer with the tulips.
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:26.560
Okay.
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.680
So some, you know, tulip knowledge.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:30.719
Tulip knowledge.
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:36.319
Um I think that, although it's not really a flower, but I love orchids.
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:38.879
So I think that I mean it is a flower.
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:40.159
Do you have a green thumb?
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:41.280
No, me either.
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:41.760
No.
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.560
I hate it when people I love it when people send me plants.
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:46.799
Yeah.
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.640
I just got one for my birthday in February and it's dead already.
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:54.239
Like I literally can't, and it's not an orchid.
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:59.040
It's a it's a it's an African violet.
00:01:59.280 --> 00:01:59.599
Okay.
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.319
And have you ever had African violets?
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:02.640
No.
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:02.959
Okay.
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:04.480
So I I don't have a green thumb.
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:05.040
It's dead.
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:05.680
Yeah.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.680
We had a babysitter, Olinda, and she was incredible.
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:19.919
I mean, like literally, I could bring any, I could bring leaves to her and she would resuscitate them and you know, make them and re bring them back to life.
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.199
She was Olinda was great.
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:27.280
She had a real and I never paid attention to see how she was doing it, but I do think that she's talked to them.
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:40.639
I think that there is some real um understanding of like talking to your plants and you know, making sure that they're feeling good and that people, you know, that do that, I think um, I think that's a nice thing.
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.759
I I'm gonna start talking to my plants, see if that brings them back to it.
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:45.280
I've tried talking to the plants.
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.039
I've tried watering them.
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:49.039
I feel I feel like I overwater them.
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.120
That most of them don't get a lot of light.
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.479
Yes, where they're at now.
00:02:52.560 --> 00:03:01.520
Now in the new house, I specifically wanted a sink with a beautiful window that I can look out and I can have my flowers to get the sunlight.
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:02.960
And I feel like that might help.
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:03.919
So I'm gonna try it.
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:04.400
Okay.
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.120
Um, but I feel like I oversaturate them.
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.240
I think most people do.
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.479
There's a company called Easy Plant that you that literally has like a reservoir.
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:21.360
You open it up and you fill it up once a month, and then you close it back up, and then it will kind of self-water.
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:22.960
And I've done pretty well with those.
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:23.360
Okay.
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:23.599
Yeah.
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.919
So I'm not a plant person, but yes, tulips.
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:27.199
Tulips are my flower.
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:27.680
What about you?
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:28.719
What you mean?
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:29.759
I I like orchids.
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.000
I like peonies as a flow you know, as a flower.
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.800
I love peonies, Casablanca lilies because they smell so good.
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:36.719
I was gonna say, I like things that smell good too.
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:37.680
Yeah, lilies in the vague.
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:38.240
Paper white.
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:39.520
Have you ever smelled paper white?
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:40.719
Yeah, those are delicious too.
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:41.360
Oh my gosh.
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.240
And Pottery Barn makes a paper white candle.
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:45.199
I bet it's great.
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:45.840
It is.
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:46.240
Yeah.
00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:46.960
It's great.
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.919
Uh so I like things that have like a nice smell.
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:57.360
I mean, roses are good, but not, but usually roses from a florist are not roses like English garden roses.
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:05.919
Like if I was gonna, you know, choose a ro, I'd be like, I want an English garden rose because they and I think silver roses are the ones that are the most fragrant.
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:06.479
Okay.
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.639
Yes, out of all the roses, the silver roses.
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:09.520
Yeah, I don't know enough.
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.360
I don't know a lot about flowers or plants.
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.000
I just tulips my favorite flower.
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:14.400
Yeah.
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.720
I don't know a lot of because I can't do it.
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.000
Um I don't have green thumb.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.680
I mean, lilies die in my house.
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.759
The nice thing about lilies is you can water them and they come back to life almost immediately.
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.519
Yeah, and I think hydrangeas too.
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:26.560
I think that like that's how it is.
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:27.600
These lilies, yes.
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:27.839
Yes.
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.279
I think with hydrangeas, but uh, but I do love fresh flowers.
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.839
My mom was really into fresh flowers, and so So there's a company that I met.
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.439
Um I did a Pilates event uh a couple weeks ago.
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:46.959
I've done two so far um at Rolls-Royce of Charlotte, um, Rolls-Royce and McLaren of Charlotte, and they invited me for this fabulous event.
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:52.000
And the last one was last month, and they had a flower bar.
00:04:52.160 --> 00:05:00.399
And so these these wonderful ladies, and I I literally can't think of the name of them, but they actually I asked them, do you br do this?
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.120
Do you have a like a monthly service that you bring these beautiful flowers to people's homes?
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.480
And they were like, Yes, we can do it weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:09.839
And I said, sign me up.
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:13.439
Yeah, when when the new house is done, I want fresh flowers in my house.
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.680
Um, you know, at least every other week.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:16.319
Oh, yeah.
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.560
Because they're they make you feel good.
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.720
I know, and they are good and they smell good.
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.879
They look good, they look good and they smell good.
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:24.959
And uh yeah, I I agree.
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:26.639
That's um it's nice.
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.639
It's a nice thing to and and when they're well done, they last a long time.
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:38.160
Yeah, it's kind of um one of those things, and and there's a guy, his name is Jeff, and uh you probably know his last name because he's renowned.
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.560
Um, he does the flowers in hotels.
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.399
Yeah, the four seasons in Los Angeles.
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.439
And the breakers, yeah, in Florida, in Palm Beach.
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.480
Um, and I can't think of his last name, but oh my gosh.
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:55.600
It's so nice to walk into a hotel and see that beautiful and they change them out, you know, while you're most of the time while you're there.
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.879
Um, so yeah, flowers are a nice touch.
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:07.360
Yeah, and some hotels they really they they know that that's really an important part of their uh of their hotel budget, their lobby.
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:09.600
Yes, it's just the presentation.
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.199
You know, my grandfather would say presentation is everything.
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:15.120
And uh he's right.
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.639
I mean, not every I mean, I would say almost everything.
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.279
If you have no substance, then the presentation is gonna be kind of thin and flimsy.
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:27.759
But if you um it certainly helps having good presentation for sure.
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:28.560
Yes, yes.
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:41.920
All right, so um uh chocolate over like gummy or uh like would you prefer like a chocolate candy over a gummy type of candy?
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:48.399
Okay, if someone knows me, they know me that I'm a fireball, laughy taffy, and tootsu roll girl.
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:48.879
Okay.
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:49.680
That's my thing.
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.600
Now I'll take chocolate all day long.
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.839
But tutsi rolls make me so happy.
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.439
In fact, we order fireballs monthly to our house.
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:05.199
I think Randy and I both I've broken two teeth on fireballs once when I was in Spain.
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:15.120
Um, luckily it was on the tail end of my trip to come home because it was a bad break to one of my back teeth because I don't suck on them, I chew them, I chomp on them.
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.480
But they're I mean, but wouldn't that's hard to do.
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:19.199
Yeah.
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:20.399
It's very hard to do.
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.079
That's why my tooth broke twice.
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:26.720
The dentist is like, okay, we gotta have an intervention here.
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:27.279
Right.
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:28.240
Right.
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:36.879
Because you have a tooth now that I you have to have put a crown on because you've broken it twice and we can't fix it without a crown.
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:38.240
So what about this?
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.160
I used to like big red chewing gum.
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:40.720
Oh, I love it.
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:41.199
Do you remember that?
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:41.759
Yes, okay.
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.879
Speaking of that, did you ever make cinnamon cinnamon toothpicks?
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.759
No, but I've had I mean, I know they used to sell them at like gas stations.
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.279
Well, I used to sell them at school.
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:51.759
Okay.
00:07:51.920 --> 00:08:00.480
Like in intermediate school in fifth and sixth grade, we would make toothpicks, package them up, and sell them to people at school.
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.680
Because yeah, cinnamon, big red gum was right.
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:04.959
I loved big red gum.
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:05.920
It was good.
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:06.319
Yeah.
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:07.680
It didn't hold its flavor very long.
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:08.480
It does not.
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.360
You have to put multiples in and then sit it out and put some more.
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:13.040
Start over, but it was good.
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.240
I also liked freshen up.
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:15.120
Remember freshen up?
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:15.839
Yeah, the juicy.
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:17.360
Yes, and then they had a cinnamon.
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:18.480
Do they still make that?
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:19.199
I don't know.
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:20.079
Probably not.
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:28.560
But I mean, my mom was not like a huge gum chewer, but I just I have visuals of her like chewing the mint freshen up, having it in the car.
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:29.199
So good.
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:31.759
And yeah, here and it's crazy like toxic now.
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:32.080
Yeah.
00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.159
You know, that's probably why they don't make it anymore.
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:34.480
I know.
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.080
Bubblish and bubble yum.
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:36.879
Those are my favorites.
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:38.480
So you are you a chocolate?
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:39.919
I'm a chocolate person.
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:46.000
I mean, I I I would go like with a I don't like, I don't like gummy worms.
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:47.279
I like a Swedish fish.
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:50.720
Like, I just like that texture more than the gummy worm.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:57.519
Um, but I so I I would have it like I like a Swedish fish, that texture, but I'm team chocolate all day.
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:59.519
So Well, I'm not gonna turn it down.
00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:00.000
Yeah.
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.600
I would prefer chocolate to this gummy things.
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:05.759
Do you prefer dark chocolate or milk chocolate?
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:13.279
Well, now dark, but when I was younger, it was like milk chocolate, like a Cadbury Easter egg was I mean of.
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:13.919
I mean, yeah.
00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.639
That was, but I did like peeps too.
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.679
I mean, I guess I liked all sugar, but um, I still do.
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:26.879
But I liked, I loved the peeps and I loved the Cadbury cream eggs like around Easter time.
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.679
Those were are you a candy corn girl?
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:30.879
Yeah, I love candy corn.
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:31.279
Oh, good.
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:31.440
Yeah.
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:31.919
Me too.
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:36.000
I like the Indian corn or whatever with the chocolate caramel and the chocolate.
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:41.279
Well, because the Indian corn has like the extra layer on it with the chocolate part of it.
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.559
Well, they got smart, they started making different flavors like that.
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.360
So I just a bag of the Indian mix.
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:48.639
Yeah, I like that.
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.240
And I like the pumpkins also.
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:51.200
I love the pumpkins.
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:51.919
The pumpkins.
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.080
I don't know what what like it's just just what sugar and water.
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:56.960
Corn syrup.
00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:58.159
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:58.320 --> 00:09:58.720
It's good.
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:00.559
Oh, it's not good for you, but it's good.
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:00.960
No.
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:01.360
Yeah.
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.679
Um, okay, so flowers and candy.
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.799
I feel like those are like two really important things to know.
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:08.559
Um let's see here.
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:09.919
What about cookies or cake?
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:10.879
Oh, well, I like it all.
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:12.879
I never met a cookie I didn't like, Alisa.
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:13.600
Come on.
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:14.240
Come on.
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:16.320
If it has coconut in it, I can't do it.
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:17.679
No, I do like coconut.
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:18.960
I like coconut.
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:19.120
Yeah.
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:20.240
I know you like coconut.
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:21.279
I like coconut.
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:22.399
I like coconut.
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:23.600
I like chocolate.
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.000
I I like things out of a box.
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:26.960
I'm fine with it.
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:28.240
Never been a coconut.
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:29.840
Now, it's the texture for me.
00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:30.159
Okay.
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:30.720
Coconut.
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.120
So if it's like coconut flavor, I can do it.
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:33.440
Okay.
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:41.360
But if it's coconut cake or coconut cream pie, I'm not the texture of this, it's stringy and it's just, I don't know.
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:42.480
It's like watercress.
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:43.600
I don't like watercress.
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:44.240
Okay.
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:48.480
Now, what about um so you would not have a watercress tea sandwich?
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:48.960
No.
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:49.440
Okay.
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:49.919
Mm-mm.
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:58.320
So maybe they could put coconut on a lot of things and watercress and that would maybe it would decrease my caloric intake.
00:10:58.559 --> 00:10:58.720
Right.
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:00.320
Well, watercress is pretty.
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.440
Uh, I feel like you don't hear people having watercress lately.
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:05.679
They put it in salads a lot, I feel like.
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:06.080
Yeah.
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.759
Um, but no, yeah.
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:13.600
Uh, they make um at this horse show that we used to go to growing up, the big Devin Horse Show.
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.840
It's huge, you know, Devin Horse Show on Country Fair.
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:16.960
It's like 10 days long.
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.279
And they're famous for their tea sandwiches.
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.399
And so they've got different tea sandwich flavors.
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:36.000
One of them, which is when I was first introduced, I guess, to watercress as a young girl, was a watercre, but it's water, I think they make it, it's either cream cheese with watercress, you know, it's similar to a cucumber tea sandwich, but they put similar to that.
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.200
So, um, but they do have watercress um sandwiches.
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:40.320
So not a fan.
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.320
All right, we won't get you those or the coconut cake.
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:43.200
No coconut.
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:44.559
No, but they do have good fudge.
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.679
Like almond joys.
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:46.000
Yeah.
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:46.799
Uh no.
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:52.399
I feel like that's the only candy bar they should make, so I would not be enticed to get a candy bar.
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.840
Well, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't, right?
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:56.559
Exactly.
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:57.360
Oh my gosh.
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:01.360
I mean, yeah, they don't have that slogan anymore, I don't think.
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.519
But um, yeah, no, I liked an almond joy.
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:08.960
It wasn't necessarily my first choose like choosing, but I didn't turn it away.
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.960
I liked um a Heath bar and a score bar.
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:13.679
Those two.
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:19.919
Anything toffee or caramel were uh I feel like my go-to candy bar is Zero Bar.
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:21.919
Have you ever had a Zero Bar with the nugget?
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:24.559
Yeah, caramel, and they even make a white chocolate one.
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:26.000
Oh my gosh, so good.
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:29.679
It's like in the silver, blue, silver with blue writing.
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:34.960
Um, I feel like you could only find them um at they're so old school.
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.600
I feel like you can only find them at like the masked general store where they have all the old candy.
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:40.480
Oh, the old candy.
00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:40.799
Yeah.
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.200
Yeah.
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:42.320
Oh, yeah, where they have that.
00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:42.639
No.
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.519
I mean, I feel like I've seen it, but I don't think I've ever had one.
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:46.240
Yeah, it's good.
00:12:46.399 --> 00:13:01.039
But it'll be on the okay, so um, like who out of anybody, let's just say, I mean, of course, living or not living, and we're gonna take family out of it because you know, who would you want to have a meal with?
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:02.159
Anyone in the world?
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:03.200
Who would you be interested in?
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:04.080
Madonna.
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:04.960
Okay, Madonna.
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:05.759
And why Madonna?
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:06.399
Stands down.
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:12.480
Well, I mean, she was I grew up in the Madonna era, the borderline, uh, I wanted to be Madonna.
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:12.799
Okay.
00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:14.240
Yeah, and I still love Madonna.
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:14.639
Yeah, I know.
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.600
Yeah, she's just iconic, right?
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:21.840
Yeah, she she is she was my Taylor Swift growing up.
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.159
Yeah, that's um that was Madonna.
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:29.360
I mean, you and I are very similar in age, and you know, so Madonna, the Cindy Lauper day.
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:33.919
I wasn't really a huge I like Cindy Lauper's music, but I was a Madonna fan.
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:41.919
Yeah, I prefer, I mean, I I mean I I think that I mean Cindy Lauper was really an a different kind of artist than Madonna.
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:44.559
So it they much more eclectic.
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.840
Yeah, more eclectic.
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:52.159
And and I think that we all um and I think Madonna just presented herself, you know, differently.
00:13:52.320 --> 00:14:03.600
Obviously, she, you know, did get a little um a a little bit too much some in certain categories at you know, for young kids to really understand vulgarity.
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:08.799
Yeah, I didn't really understand, even even though I was a teenager, some of the stuff that was going on.
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:13.840
But now I look on it, I'm like, okay, you know, I she had a real strong opinion and point of view.
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:14.720
And she did.
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:16.320
And she I felt like she still does.
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:16.799
Yeah.
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.279
And uh so she's beautiful still.
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:20.559
Oh yeah.
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:42.000
I mean, she's and she knows how to per um persuade and be persuasive of the media and also of you know the music business, which is you know, Hollywood, but I mean people, but the entertainment business in general, you know, you really have to be a strong animal to survive that that world.
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:48.080
I mean, I feel like that's why we probably lost some of the great artists like Prince and Michael Jackson and maybe Houston.
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:48.879
You know.
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:50.559
Yeah, I love Prince.
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:51.279
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.759
Prince was I I prefer Prince to Michael Jackson.
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:54.399
Me too.
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:56.399
Uh, but I like Michael.
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.399
But I mean Prince I thought was, you know, was great.
00:14:58.639 --> 00:14:59.120
I'm so sad.
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:00.399
I never went to a concert.
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:00.879
Yeah.
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:06.159
I went to see, I mean, gosh, um, Purple Rain, the Purple Rain Tour.
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:06.480
Yeah.
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.960
Uh my friend Nessa and I went to see Prince.
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:18.000
And um, somewhere, I think, in Nessa's one of her old, you know, boxes of junk from our old days, she's got, they were selling purple roses.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:23.759
And I think she's got at the at the concert, I think she's got one of those from the old days.
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:25.759
So a funny story about Prince.
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:33.200
I was in school at University of North Con at Greensboro, and um I ran over to the shopping center called Friendly Shopping Center in Greensboro.
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:38.799
It was an outdoor shopping center, kind of like Burke Dale, um, is here in Charlotte or up at the lake.
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:46.080
And um I wanted to go in Victoria's Secrets, and um it was shut down.
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:51.840
There were security guards standing outside, and I thought, are those security guards because there's just been a robbery in here or what's going on?
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.480
And then there was a huge white limo out in front.
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:56.639
And I was like, that's interesting.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.080
Well, I'm very, you know, I'll I'll ask, you know, what's going on in here?
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:00.639
And I did.
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:05.279
And the security guard was like, uh Prince is in town, and he's in Victoria's Secrets right now.
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.960
And he was performing at Greensboro call see him that night.
00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.360
Um did you get to see him?
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:16.559
No, he yeah, just from a very far distance because I would not let you get near the door.
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:22.639
But I kind of stayed back and kind of waited for him to come out, and yeah, I got to that it was far, far away.
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:27.679
I think he's very he mean he was very tiny, tiny, petite, very petite.
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:29.120
Now I've been to Paisley Park.
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:35.919
Randy and I used to go to this music festival up there, and we had some free time and we went to visit Paisley Park.
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.159
And if you haven't been, you should go.
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:39.360
It is fabulous.
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:39.679
Yeah.
00:16:39.919 --> 00:16:44.559
You got to go in one of his studios, and only one of them they would allow you to take pictures in.
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:48.080
There were only parts of the Paisley Park that they would allow you to take pictures in.
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.480
So I got some great um photos at Paisley Park.
00:16:53.200 --> 00:17:02.960
But it was nice to see how they some of that stuff like when he would perform, like on Friday nights, he would open it up and let people come in that lived there, and he would perform for them.
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:13.119
They kind of left that untouched, and he had three of his cars in there, and all of his outfits were you know placed throughout Paisley Park.
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:14.160
It was amazing.
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:15.440
But I was a huge Prince fan.
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:16.240
What about you?
00:17:16.319 --> 00:17:18.720
If you had to sit down with someone, um who would it be?
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:20.079
Ben Franklin.
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:21.839
Okay, yeah, Benjamin.
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:30.960
I well, I mean, part of it is this, I mean, he was such an incredible renaissance man and so brilliant and an inventor and ahead of his time.
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:33.839
And I, you know, love hundred dollar bills.
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.160
So how's gonna say do you like hundred dollar bills?
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:37.279
Of course, who doesn't?
00:17:37.440 --> 00:18:29.200
But uh, but yeah, Ben Franklin to me, and uh and just I mean, such an incredible mind, and and it would be so fascinating, and and certainly, you know, growing up in Philadelphia, obviously, you know, lots of history there, but uh, but Ben Franklin, I think, would be somebody that I would love to uh just listen to him and talk about, you know, the early days of the the country and and being and truly, and he really was or I've I've read a bunch of books about Ben Franklin, and he was the the a perfect version of Renaissance Man and was very influenced by other countries and would really understood people and compassion and empathy and also the arts and uh he was funny, so I think that um yeah, I would like to uh have dinner with or some something like that with Ben Franklin.
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:29.920
Yeah.
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:32.160
Boy, if we could go back to those times, right?
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:35.599
Yeah, but just for like a second, because I like the times that we live in now.
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:36.079
Absolutely.
00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:43.039
I don't think I would really enjoy living in the um revolutionary war era, but I think that they were incredible patriots.
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:45.279
So thank I you know have the patriotism.
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:46.319
Yes, today.
00:18:46.559 --> 00:19:00.960
And uh yes, as we get closer to our two uh it's crazy, 250th birthday of our country, which is young compared to many other countries, but it's like you go and you think about what they what was going on and all the technology.
00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:02.720
We're sitting here in a podcast studio.
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:03.839
I mean all the chat.
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:04.960
Chat GPT.
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:05.599
I know.
00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:07.759
I mean Ben Franklin created the newspaper.
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:13.200
I mean, he I mean, they were writing it out long form, and then he created a c way to copy it.
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:18.799
And so things like that is just so interesting, and now here we are using chat GPT to I know.
00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:20.480
Did you ever watch the Jetsons?
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:21.039
Oh, yeah, of course.
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:21.680
I loved it.
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:26.400
Did you ever lay in bed and watch the Jetsons on Saturday morning and think, yeah, this is so fake?
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:28.079
Yeah, we are actually living in Jetsons.
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:28.319
I know.
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:30.640
I mean, we have cars in Charlotte now that drive themselves.
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.440
I know, right?
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:32.079
Yeah.
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.720
I mean, when we were in San Francisco, I mean that was there were a dime a dozen.
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:37.519
Yep.
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.680
I mean, I was just in DC and I saw, you know, they have them in Atlanta everywhere.
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:42.000
Yeah.
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:46.000
Now I'm skeptical on on them because they've caused some crashes.
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:48.799
But, you know, I'm a little scared to get in one.
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:49.599
Are you?
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:52.880
Uh I've been in one actually, but in Vegas.
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.880
But I mean, you know, that's you know, all bets are off, literally in Vegas.
00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:58.559
And I was like, all right, whatever.
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.720
Uh I didn't realize I was getting in.
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:05.279
I didn't realize that that was what was happening at the moment because I was probably on my phone not paying attention.
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:08.400
I was like, oh my gosh, we're in a car and there's no driver.
00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:09.359
Yeah.
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:10.160
Uh but it was fine.
00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.440
It's still weird.
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:12.559
Yeah, it was weird.
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:17.440
I mean, it's counterintuitive because you know, you have no control sitting in the back seat of anything.
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:18.000
Yeah.
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:29.920
But I mean, it uh it uh, but there was something kind of nice about it because I was like, okay, you know, I this is you don't have to talk to anyone or or answer any questions that that's crazy Uber driver ask you.
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:31.920
Yeah, although I've been I become friends.
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:35.839
I I usually try to get um a female Uber driver.
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:36.480
I don't know why.
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:38.640
It just sometimes and they become my friends.
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:45.440
So I have collected Uber drivers all over the United States that um Marnie, I feel like you can make friends with anyone.
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.039
Well, probably.
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:54.240
But I I, you know, and most of the Uber drivers that I've met, they all do it kind of as their way to support their family.
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:58.400
Like, you know, my I met a this lovely woman and I was like, why are you driving Uber?
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:05.119
She was like, Oh, my kid plays travel baseball, and this is just an extra way to earn income so that we can pay for that.
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:18.960
And then another one, you know, she was like, Well, it um forces my husband to be home with the kids, and I rather be out making some money, like on my own time versus, you know, going out and you know, whatever, doing anything.
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:25.920
So I feel like people that are doing those kind of extra jobs, the ones that I've met, they all have a really good purpose to do it.
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:32.240
And um, but I don't I still think that the uh the self-driving ones are interesting and yeah.
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:34.000
I need to at least try it once.
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:34.400
Yeah.
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:35.519
But it is weird.
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:36.880
I don't like going over bridges.
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:40.640
And so I did not go over a bridge in a self-driving one because that probably would have freaked me out.
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:41.200
Oh yeah.
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:41.599
Yeah.
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.279
Bridges just I'm not uh I don't I'm okay with a tunnel.
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:46.960
Is it because you're scared of heights?
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:49.359
Maybe I think I might be a little bit afraid of heights.
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:51.920
Like the bridge in Charleston going over the state.
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:54.319
Yeah, I've done that, but I I cover my eyes.
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:55.359
I don't want to see it.
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:55.680
Yeah.
00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.160
Like, how do you fly if you're scared of heights?
00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:59.759
Flying's different, bridges too.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:07.680
Me are um and when I lived in Philadelphia and I worked at NFL Films and I lived in Philadelphia and they're in South Jersey.
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.279
I would have to take there were th one of three different bridges every day.
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:20.079
You have to go over the water to get to Jersey, and I did not enjoy that, but I did it because we have to do hard things, but I did not, I don't like bridges.
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:20.720
Yeah, okay.
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:21.759
Well, that's new to me.
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:25.599
Yeah, I'm okay with a tunnel, but a bridge, I mean, I'll do it.
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.599
I've I, you know, yeah, uh, it's not my thing, but you're fine with it.
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:30.319
Fine with bridges.
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:31.039
Totally fine.
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:32.960
I'm not scared of height, so yeah.
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:42.880
Yeah, I don't think I'm scared of height, but I would prefer, but I don't love like um like hotel rooms that are really high up.
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:44.240
See, I prefer that.
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:46.319
I don't get the better view.
00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:50.480
You do get a good view, but I don't love looking down.
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:54.319
I don't love that look um so much.
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:56.079
But um, see, I'm starting to get sweaty.
00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:58.000
So you can never bungee jump.
00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:59.680
No, oh gosh, no, no.
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:02.799
I mean, have you been in the stratosphere in Vegas?
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:06.400
Yeah, I've been, I mean, I've been Did you do the experience where you go out?
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:06.880
No.
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.359
Okay.
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:15.839
No, no, because I no, that would be uh, you know, I I don't I don't know Randy won't get near a glass in the like in the Empire State Building.
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.559
He won't even get near the the glass to look down.
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:27.119
What I have done is at the Grand Canyon, and I didn't know that I was doing this, you know, they have um the you can go to the top of the Grand Canyon and then you can walk.
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:30.640
They have the glass walk where you're literally You can see.
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:36.079
Yeah, and then you and uh so it's controlled by the Indian tribe.
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:40.319
So um, you know, you can't really take any pictures because they don't like that.
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:42.720
They like to take pictures and then charge you for the pictures.
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:45.519
And I so I didn't get any pictures, but I did that.
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:51.680
And um, you have to wear booties over your shoes because I don't want to scratch the um the glass walk.
00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:52.799
So I did that.
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:58.400
Um, but that was I did not know that I was doing that, and uh, you know, but I did it.
00:23:58.559 --> 00:23:58.720
Okay.
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.759
Yeah, but I don't choose to torture myself like that anymore.
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:10.000
Like I everyday life is torture enough sometimes where I'm not like I'm just gonna go do something where I have to see heights.
00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:13.839
So no, I don't, I'm not a big fan of heights, but I'm fine flying.
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:14.799
Flying's different.
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:16.880
Yeah, I feel like I'm okay with that.
00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:20.720
And yeah, some of the other things about flying scare me more than heights.
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:25.039
Well, like the other day I was enclosed in a in a plane with mentally ill people.
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:26.079
It's kind of scary.
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:27.759
Well, that is definitely scary.
00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:34.799
Yesterday, or the other day when I was on the plane, the um the electrical to plug things in was not working.
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:40.240
And so I had said to the flight attendant, I said, wait, the electric, she's like, she was like, let me just clarify.
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:41.920
Electrical is working.
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:47.039
You can't charge your phone like this electrical, the little plugs that they have near the seats, that's not working.
00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:50.559
But don't worry, the electrical on the plane is working.
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.440
Otherwise, we're not gonna be.
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:52.720
Well, she clarified for you.
00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:53.519
Yeah, she did.
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:54.799
She was like, Okay, don't worry.
00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:05.279
I feel like that happens more often lately, that our devices are not being able to connect and also get charged.
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:06.960
Uh I don't know if they're doing it on purpose.
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:08.480
I sometimes think it is on purpose.
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:09.200
I think so too.
00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:14.559
I feel like, and I'm not a paranoid person, but I sometimes think that it's frustrating.
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:20.720
Yeah, that uh that you can't that that's like, you know, just um by design.
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:24.880
But you know just being able to work while you're in flight and it makes the time go by.
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:32.880
Even if you're not working and you're just able to surf the internet, it makes the time go f go by faster, especially if you have a you know, from east coast to west coast.
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:34.319
It's terrible.
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:38.880
It's torture to me to have to fly from here to Vegas and not have any connection for Wi-Fi.
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:39.279
Yeah.
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:44.720
I mean, remember, I mean, how you we have to like read a book or something back in the old or magazine.
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:49.119
Well, I would then just bring stacks of stacks of magazines.
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:52.400
That's what I would, you know, would bring all the magazines.
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:55.839
And now you don't know they don't even really, you know, no one buys magazines really.
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:56.079
No.
00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:58.160
Do you have you read when was the last time you read?
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:04.319
Maybe like at a uh no, like at a doctor's office, or might be like a local like Charlotte magazine.
00:26:04.720 --> 00:26:14.079
The last time I looked at a magazine was I loaded up on a bunch of magazines on our plane coming home from Florida, in case we did not have Wi-Fi that I could look through interior design.
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:21.839
You know how at the FBO at the private um airport, they'll have those um all the magazines with interior design and all the things.
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:23.359
And so that kept me occupied.
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:25.200
However, I did learn something.
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:30.880
All of the front of the magazines are different, but everything almost inside of each one of them is the same.
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:31.359
Right.
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:35.599
So I loaded up with 10 books and they were all the same inside.
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:37.839
Well, because I feel like they're mostly ad books now.
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:42.240
You know, it's all advertising it's always magazines have always been advertising, but yeah.
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.279
Um, okay, so we're gonna wrap this up.
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:47.200
How about your favorite movie?
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:49.119
Do you have a favorite movie?
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:52.160
I mean, my all-time favorite movie was Top Gun.
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:52.400
Okay.
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:53.839
And then I loved the second one.
00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:55.519
Yeah, it's fabulous.
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:58.319
Um But uh, you know what?
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:00.240
I've never been a TV person.
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:13.440
So to have a favorite movie, um you know, I I I get interested in movies when I see them, but uh I think back on like, oh my god, I really loved that movie.
00:27:13.680 --> 00:27:13.839
No.
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:17.039
Um same thing with that series, honestly.
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:24.480
I don't know if I've told you this, but I've never watched an episode of Sex in the City or Friends or Seinfeld.
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.240
Oh, well, they're good shows.
00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:38.640
I mean, I I mean, back again, now we have many other things to kind of, you know, we don't but I remember watching those shows, you know, certainly Friends and and uh and Seinfeld on Thursday night.
00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:40.799
Yeah.
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:41.839
I I think for me.
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:46.000
Well, for me being an only child, I definitely TV was like my best friend.
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:46.720
I mean, obviously.
00:27:49.440 --> 00:28:00.240
But to like sitcoms or like Facts of Life or Alex of Life or The Jeffersons or Andy Griffith, Beverly Hillbillies, Mash, that, yes.
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.079
I loved the Brady Bunch and of course Bewitched and I dream and genie.
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:06.720
Those were like my three go-to's when I was growing up.
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.920
And then I think as I got older, certainly the facts of life.
00:28:10.079 --> 00:28:13.839
I mean, you know, Bill Cosby show was another one.
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:15.759
I mean, I loved the Cosby show.
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:16.400
We all did.
00:28:16.640 --> 00:28:18.160
And then all the things, yeah.
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:19.920
So surrounded that.
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:27.440
Um, but definitely, you know, then then more of the one hour shows, like of course I loved Dynasty and Dallas.
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:28.880
I mean, those were fun to watch.
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:29.440
Absolutely.
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:34.400
On Friday night, you know, when I was growing up, Who Shot Jr was like, you know, was the thing.
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:43.119
And I think for movies, I think, you know, obviously I would say some of the real, I mean, of course, The Wedding Singer has to be one of my favorites.
00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:43.920
Well, you're in it.
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:48.480
I'm in it, but uh, we're gonna remove that one from like my favorite list.
00:28:48.559 --> 00:29:01.519
I I like, and I don't really watch a lot of TV, but if it was on, like, of course, like Gone with the Wind, like some of those classic movies that I think are so entertaining and beautiful to watch and tell a great story.
00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:05.359
I really uh I think that those are um some great movies.
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:12.480
And then there's some more of like there's a movie, movie that was out when I loved all the John Hughes movies, Pretty and Pink and Sixteen Candles.
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:13.119
Oh yeah.
00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:17.039
Those were def um kind of age-defining pretty much pretty woman.
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:18.240
Yeah, that was another good one.
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:20.400
Yeah, that was uh that was a great one.
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:29.359
So I think lately the series that I can say that I really that really I could binge watch was uh, you know, probably back in 2016.
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:31.680
Um Sons of Anarchy.
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:33.359
Oh yeah, I've never watched it.
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:34.160
The Ozarks.
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:36.319
Oh yeah, Ozarks is great, yeah.
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:40.880
Um yeah, yeah, so that kind of thing.
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:45.680
And then the hunting wives, you know, they could have left some of the parts out of the hunting wife.
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:50.319
I would have been fine with the some of that, some of that, but yeah, I think my husband liked it.
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:51.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.559
What man wouldn't like that?
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:53.279
I'm sure.
00:29:53.359 --> 00:29:56.160
I I haven't seen enough of it to know, but I started watching it.
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.720
You told me to watch it, so I've been it's good, you know, and because they're filming it all over Charlotte.
00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:02.480
Yeah, that's that's kind of fun too.
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:07.039
All right, so fine last question favorite color?
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:07.759
Pink.
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:09.200
Okay, yeah, I love pink.
00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:10.079
Yeah, I love pink.
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:11.599
My mom's favorite color was pink.
00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:17.440
I would say like I go between like pink and like a a teal green blue.
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:19.519
Well, and that looks really good on you because your eyes.
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:20.240
Yeah, thank you.
00:30:20.400 --> 00:30:21.200
So the same with you.
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:24.240
So those are green eyes, so greens and blues.
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:26.559
We always get compliments after that when we have those colors.
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:27.519
Try to, you know.
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:29.279
Oh my gosh, your eyes, they look so beautiful.
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:32.079
I'm like, well, it's not my eyes, it's the what I'm wearing.
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:33.279
It's making my eyes look beautiful.
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.079
Well, it's a combination of all of it, but yes, all right.
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:37.920
So um, all right, well, great.
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:41.039
Well, Lisa, I learned some things today, so that was lots of fun.
00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:42.480
Yeah, I think we should do this again.
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:43.200
I think so too.
00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:44.480
There's a lot to uncover.
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:45.599
Oh, yeah, there's a lot more.
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.680
