September 18, 2024 Ryan Frankowski & Kelly Mizgorski Episode 35

Have you ever found yourself clueless about your local senators while sipping on a trendy energy drink? Well, we did, and it led to some hilarious banter on this episode of "Mocktails Or Messy!" Join Kelly and Ryan as they recount their hilarious (and sometimes embarrassing) experiences with cocktails, including Kelly's unforgettable first dirty martini. We also touch on the surprising ways Pittsburgh's heat wave has impacted our wardrobe choices and share some light-hearted thoughts on keeping client confidentiality in our real estate ventures.

What do personal preferences about nudity, bathrobes, and the Paralympics have in common? They all make for some pretty entertaining conversation! This episode takes a whimsical turn as we issue a PSA about the importance of closing your blinds at night and dive into the fashion mishaps that come with living with others. We also celebrate the astounding achievements of Hunter Woodhull and Tara Davis Woodhull, the power couple of the Paralympics, and share our awe at their inspiring journeys and gold medals. It's a rollercoaster of a discussion that keeps you guessing what's next!

From overcoming fibular hemimelia to the quirky trend of Gen Z's silent walking, this episode covers it all. We reminisce about our college days running track, the challenges of city driving with heavy electric vehicles on the rise, and the evolution of personal confidence. We also explore modern trends' surprising impacts on ADHD symptoms and the need for innovative solutions in elderly care. Whether it's reflecting on personal growth or balancing life's fun moments with career aspirations, this episode promises laughter, inspiration, and a few thought-provoking insights. Tune in for a conversation that's as messy and delightful as mocktails themselves!

Speaker 1:

You were so on brand with the olives, the martini, that was my first time having a what is it called?

Speaker 2:

Dirty martini. Dirty martini. That was my first time having a what. What is it called dirty martini?

Speaker 1:

the olives were bomb, yes, but you were sucking them on and on I mean they were good, but then the drink was? It was just salt, it was like salt water yeah like ocean water yeah like you, almost like it's like when you were like at the beach.

Speaker 2:

When you like, take a little bit of ocean water by accident, yeah, and then you get diarrhea. You get diarrhea that night no, oh no.

Speaker 1:

Just if you of ocean water by accident, yeah, and then you get diarrhea. Did you get diarrhea that night from your martini? Oh no.

Speaker 2:

Just if you drink ocean water because it has so much salt in it, you get diarrhea.

Speaker 1:

You know what? You're teaching me so many new things this year. I'm shocked that you've never had a martini in your 33 years of life.

Speaker 2:

I'm just not a martini drinker. I just I'm not Like I a martini drinker I just yeah, I'm not like I like what I like. I'm not gonna drink something, yeah, that I don't like. Yeah, you know, that thing that your grandma gave me, was it the cosmo? Oh, yeah, that was good. Is that a martini?

Speaker 1:

yeah, so technically like a traditional martini. Think of james bond with his gin martini. It's like vermouth, like that's like a classic. Like you know, there's vodka martinis. But now we've evolved into like being basic bitches, yeah, into like cosmos apple martini, chocolate martini. Those are all like fruity beveragey, like like deserty martinis but I don't consider them as like a bartender mixologist person.

Speaker 2:

I think of them as not really like a martini yeah they're in a martini glass, served up so I didn't see you this morning at orange theory I know I was just in the office early in the morning.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I will say I've been a little bit reluctant, like when I was in orange theory the beginning I was like every single day now I've been kind of slacking. You've been taking the the lead, the reins here with the OTF. I could see your body transforming.

Speaker 2:

Oh, thank you. I mean I'm just enjoying it. I'm glad to be starting to feel like myself again.

Speaker 1:

The dopamines are, you know, instilled You're happier. I could tell you're like a little glowy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think that when you work out it gets some circulation going and it definitely gives you a natural looking glow yeah, I mean not natural looking.

Speaker 1:

I mean, it is a natural glow, right, and I know you look more natural with it because before you look like, really like some kind of like terrible, I know, I just look terrible yeah, you just like look so fake.

Speaker 2:

I know even like the extensions and stuff like you're so basic, so this is what you don't do to a girl.

Speaker 1:

I'm kidding, I did disclose the extensions and the botox but it's not something I'm gonna bring up all the time. I'm bringing it up as a joke. It's not funny anymore.

Speaker 2:

No it's not funny anymore. You know that like friend song I just felt so good to like get up burn my breakfast I burned my breakfast, you know things are going great.

Speaker 1:

You're so cute.

Speaker 2:

You burned your breakfast and then I've you know, it's like you're always stuck in second gear, but I feel like I'm in sixth gear.

Speaker 1:

Baby I'm like cruising, so I feel great today I know you're flying on that 79 to get to the wild wild wax.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we're dropping in at lunch.

Speaker 1:

We're getting some energy.

Speaker 2:

And this is going to be a good day. We have meetings later.

Speaker 1:

Yes, we have some fun stuff going on. We have a little content creation meeting with our buddies at Studio.

Speaker 2:

Raw. If you are in the burg, if you're in the area, we have some fun things coming. I'm excited.

Speaker 1:

Sober October, sometime in October, yeah I uh, we have some fun things coming, like we really do and sober october sometime in october.

Speaker 2:

I'm not gonna be sober in october oh fuck.

Speaker 1:

No, maybe some haunted houses we're gonna be doing some haunted houses fright night at kennywood. Well, I do feel like the energy is buzzing. I'm liking this, alani yeah, I'm really tasting like the caramel you noticed that there was like this big blast of like celsius everywhere, and now these things like I know.

Speaker 2:

So that's the thing it's like. I was like what is this?

Speaker 1:

because everyone is talking about alani yes, and it's kind of like a knockoff celsius you know I haven't done energy drinks in over 10 years you know what, maybe we shouldn't start. I mean, do we really?

Speaker 2:

I'm not going to start. I was just like trying to get the fall vibes going.

Speaker 1:

Yeah yeah, and it is considered a mocktail. I mean, you can make a mocktail out of this.

Speaker 2:

This is really cute a mocktail is whatever you want it to be. It doesn't have to be like you know a copycat of a specific drink exactly it's whatever makes you feel good alani witch's brew.

Speaker 1:

It is 15 calories per serving. It is sodium 180 milligrams total carbs five grams. Very low, zero sugar. So we're good on that front. But you get those other people that are really specific and they're like okay, what's the sweetener in it? What's the faux sweetener? That's not really good for you, but I don't see anything on here yeah, it's, it's a witch's brew. That's why but yeah, that's it, I do I do have like a psa what's that?

Speaker 2:

um for people out there. Close your blinds at night oh okay, I heard you talk about.

Speaker 1:

I told you about this.

Speaker 2:

So I've been like walking a lot lately. Just I, I love walking. I used to walk all the time and, yeah, I've been taking advantage, like when my husband's home, we either walk together or I like, have him with the kids and I walk do you force them to walk? Um, I mean, it's not his idea yeah, yeah but I was walking at night because I just wanted to, like, I need something to do at night. If I'm not doing something productive, I'm doing something destructive.

Speaker 1:

So it's like, seriously does that mean that you're boozing after dark well, it could be.

Speaker 2:

It could be.

Speaker 2:

Oh, like I'm bored it's so easy to pop a bottle of wine right, so easy but I'm not trying to take the easy way no so I was like you know I'm gonna go for a little night walk in the neighborhood, so I'm walking around and you know there's these people on their couch having sex and their window is wide open and I got like a front row show oh my god. So this was like a hot couple that you were like damn, you know I was I, as soon as I saw you know when you get like that second hand embarrassment like I, immediately looked away uh-huh and walked faster, but it's like wow, that's kind of hard you're in your living room like on your couch and like it's away from the window and your window's wide open and the lights are on and it's dark outside.

Speaker 1:

That's kind of weird.

Speaker 2:

Can we use our brains?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but you know what that makes me think they wanted to be watched.

Speaker 2:

Maybe or maybe they were just so in the moment or maybe they were boozing and they just couldn't think.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I'm sure you and your husband definitely got down in the like living room and forgot that the blinds were open.

Speaker 2:

I mean it's, it's possible could happen to anybody, it's just so that's why this is a psa right now close your blinds, close your damn blinds at night.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, because there's gonna be people walking around and I don't know. I feel like they might have wanted you to look, or somebody some people are like that yeah, yeah, I'm definitely one of those. What would?

Speaker 2:

it be like um. So they'd be like exhibitionist likes to show oh, there are, yeah, yeah, so that's like an exhibitionist and then what's the other one, the voyeurism.

Speaker 1:

So like, if somebody's a voyeur, they like to watch it. So you clearly are not a voyeur, you did not want to see a voyeur, they like to watch it. So you clearly are not a voyeur, you did not want to see that shit?

Speaker 2:

yeah, or like a peeping tom, is that like a little voyeur is?

Speaker 1:

I never heard that word yeah, peeping tom, peeping peter or whatever. I mean, I just think in some weird way like I don't like search for it, I'm not like, oh my god, I need to see like a couple. But like when I was in new york in the meatpacking district, there is the standard hotel that people are, notorious floor-to-ceiling windows and they're like the like you've seen women at, like the far up there they're like on the window like hans, she's getting really behind damn okay.

Speaker 2:

So there's a. There's different types of people. I'm gonna say I'm gonna break it down to two types of people. There's the people that just walk around their house completely naked yeah, and then there's the people that have the bathrobe.

Speaker 1:

You put a bathrobe on oh okay, but you like nothing underneath right yeah, nothing.

Speaker 2:

Underneath you're a bathroom.

Speaker 1:

I'm a bathrobe girl, okay, yeah, yeah I know, like with the ex they did not like naked house. But like I love a love, a naked house, Like I'm like, if you're like couple, yeah, or maybe not even I won't say like we're not going to be ageist yeah, but like I don't know. If you're like just, I mean not maybe every single day, Maybe it would be a little exhausting to just be nude.

Speaker 2:

After you get a shower like yeah.

Speaker 1:

You don't want to be sitting on the couch without, like some undies.

Speaker 2:

I would say, yeah, you need a bathrobe on that you can tuck under or underwear to sit on the couch and maybe a bathroom's kind of sexier, well, even just getting like water at night, like do you go naked or do you put a bathrobe on?

Speaker 1:

Well, you know now that I'm living with people, I'm not going to be like naked Because you sleep naked right because you sleep naked, right, so I don't as much anymore because you okay, because I'm living with people so like I don't really want them, like just in case there was like an emergency, or like I'm just like I don't want that to happen.

Speaker 1:

But there'll be times that I'm like, okay, I definitely need to sleep naked. But then I'm like I don't know. I think if I have like, once I'm back in my own place again. Oh, are you? Okay, I just didn't?

Speaker 2:

I almost like got a nip slip, I think oh shit, be careful.

Speaker 1:

I I think if I was a girl I'd be totally like slutty, sophisticated slut yeah, like I definitely want to just like show off. Like the bod, I'd want to like show off the tiggle bitties right, that's just like who I envision. So for me, like I am attracted to, like people that like to show off a lot like skin and like you know, like I don't know, like there is a way there's, like certain materials and certain like fashion designs that like can be sexy and sophisticated, don't?

Speaker 2:

you think, are you getting a little head rush from this?

Speaker 1:

yeah I am I'm talking like a mile a minute because it's so fucking good like do you ever feel like you're just gonna like pass out because? It's too much. You know what? I've been a caffeine addict ever since your husband in middle school.

Speaker 2:

He got me hooked to starbucks.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean we just like I think we were in eighth grade and we were going to fucking starbucks yeah, so did you watch the paralympics? I didn't, but you told me that you popped in and you were like damn.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I watched the Paralympics and there's one.

Speaker 1:

Which is, you know, handicapped, disabled Olympics.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I am a super fan of Hunter Woodhull. He won gold for the 400 meter.

Speaker 1:

Really.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, his leg from the knees down. He has the prosthetic and he is actually married to a woman who won gold in the long jump in the Olympics, like the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Speaker 1:

Yes, oh my gosh. So he's married to the woman who won gold.

Speaker 2:

She does the long jump. Her name's Tara Davis Woodhull. Oh my goodness, so like this couple both won gold and I just thought that was incredible.

Speaker 1:

That is so cool to have like a gold winning couple.

Speaker 2:

Right Damn Talk about athletics to the max. I follow him on Instagram. I've been following him on Instagram for years because he's like super cute.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah. And he is really cute. You showed me a photo.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and they're like a hot couple you know I was drawn to them and I was following them, and then they both won gold.

Speaker 1:

It's like amazing I mean, can you imagine them procreating and what their kids would be like? Definitely athletic definitely adorable yeah, hunter and tara.

Speaker 2:

They met at a track meet in idaho, apparently I don't know who approached you so hunter.

Speaker 1:

He was born with fibular hemimelia hemimelia, I've never heard of that, so it's a congenital condition where the fibula bone is either short or missing.

Speaker 1:

When he was 11 months old, both of his legs were amputated to improve his quality of life when you do hear these stories and how they just like you know not let them get that down and like anytime that we come up through an obstacle or some type of you know heart ache or problem and you're like listen, you have to remember there are people that have it way more difficult oh my gosh.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I mean, it says here that doctors weren't even sure he would walk one day, right, and here he is, sprinting and winning a gold medal crazy. Right when you set your mind to something, you can make it happen yeah, yeah, honestly, it's definitely inspirational, so I did want to just touch on that, highlight them.

Speaker 1:

They're just amazing athlete you know you're bringing me back to our old days wonder why we both wanted to do track and like college and cross country and college I think it made us feel good. Yeah, I think we just thought we're so like obsessed with it.

Speaker 2:

Well, there's a camaraderie involved like the thought of being in a sorority wasn't so much what I wanted, but the thought of being a teammate, like on a team right, that's what I was used to and loved, yeah, and grew up doing so exactly that was really important to me.

Speaker 1:

You have to really have a great mindset and crazy work ethic yes to pass your classes and train as hard as you do in a college sport. We were super driven and focused because you know it was athletics and then know it was also the studies. That being said, it was way more productive being like, healthy and in shape than being in a sorority or fraternity.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I feel like the fraternities are like crazy, just drinking, hazing all the time. Oh yeah, I know the hazing part is getting better, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I know. That's why I feel like today, like today, like you know, doing this like pod with you has really, like, just allowed me to be myself, because I've always been like a fucking pervert and like a little bit like of a rebel.

Speaker 1:

But like I've always felt like I had to keep that, like you know, catholicism or that, like you know that good boy mentality, to make sure my family was like, okay, he's gotta be like the quintessential, like good son, don't be like inappropriate, you know, don't be like advertising, like you know super, like naughtiness or whatever.

Speaker 2:

And I'm just like I want to be me right, oh my gosh.

Speaker 1:

So on our drive over here you almost we are so three pedestrians well, what's with them just walking out in front of you? But anyways you're scared to drive in the city.

Speaker 2:

I'm so scared to drive in the city. I'm afraid I'm gonna hit somebody because I don't know where I'm going. So I'm like looking at the gps you're directionally challenged too, I am.

Speaker 1:

I'm not gonna lie about that right and um, so we were like we did not prepare for today like we totally thought that we were just going to walk into a studio and film. We just sometimes think that people just do rearrange their schedule for us.

Speaker 2:

That's probably what people think. That's totally what people think we think.

Speaker 1:

But really, we're just not organized.

Speaker 2:

Anyways, we walk in and the studio's booked, so we had to come over. I don't even know who the senator is. Do you know the senator?

Speaker 1:

I don't either. Oh yeah, this is terrible, that's bad. We need to learn these things we do. Oh my god, like I feel so stupid.

Speaker 2:

Well, we, are, but anyways we're driving over here and I, like I, just have so many fears with driving okay yeah and then I heard the other day I don't have a electric vehicle, so I don't have a lithium battery, right, right. But what I heard now is electric vehicles. If there's a lithium battery, it's so heavy that guardrails can't technically like stop them. Like they can go through a guardrail, because guardrails are old structures, correct.

Speaker 1:

Like that's crazy.

Speaker 2:

Well then I'm like, oh my gosh. So if a car with a lithium battery hits my vehicle like that's gonna impact my vehicle way worse than like a normal vehicle so yes I'm just like, oh my gosh that is little scary To have more things to worry about.

Speaker 1:

I know Well, you've always been a little bit like overthinker, worry, war.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, and I don't know where that comes from. I think it's just like, maybe as even a child, I remember like growing up with you, you would always be a little bit like more concerned and like worried and be like protective mommy, even before you had kids. Yeah, I can mommy even before you had kids. Yeah, I can totally tumble down that. But yes, you go down a rabbit hole and then I'm always just like, hey, let's pull you up, it's gonna be okay, kelly, we're gonna be fine. If shit hits the fan, we will figure it out it's all good namaste.

Speaker 2:

I get so fucking annoyed when you talk to me like that or when anyone does that make it worse. Oh, it makes me like irritated. So then, how do I pull you out of the rabbit hole me?

Speaker 1:

oh, okay, so I could do that, just ignore it, yeah. But I will say one thing I even was thinking about the other day. I was like I remember like one of those times whenever we were younger and like I said, hey, you're really a beautiful girl, but you're lacking confidence. Now, to this day, at this age, your confidence is through the roof in a positive way. That little girl I don't even know who the fuck she is.

Speaker 2:

I don't either.

Speaker 1:

Because, honestly, I mean this is a positive message, Like I'm so impressed with your confidence and your just way of way of like handling situations. Motherhood is looking good on you and you're fucking teaching those kids what's up? So cheers to that.

Speaker 2:

Cheers. I trained to be here. I trained to do it because, I wasn't about to live my life like that, yeah, but um so, speaking of like Halloween costumes and stuff, oh yes, I'm like training to do the Marilyn impression. Oh yeah, and I've been doing research about like her voice and stuff.

Speaker 1:

So you're going to be Marilyn Monroe.

Speaker 2:

I'm thinking so. I mean, I think so.

Speaker 1:

Are you going to take your hair out and be like short hair?

Speaker 2:

I don't know, like that's the thing, I might have to Just do a wig. I might have to do a wig, but um people who speak through their pelvic floor and pelvic is yeah, so the pelvic floor is kind of like a box. It kind of like are all the muscles that surround, like your abdomen, your back, your side, like so this is a dumb question.

Speaker 1:

Would a man have a pelvic floor a?

Speaker 2:

man. A man does have a pelvic floor too, okay yeah, so is that like kegels, like exercise? I'm really confused with the whole, like yeah, speaking from your pussy, everything's like connected, so like you can flex your butthole right.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yes, I'm doing it right now.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so that's part of your pelvic floor.

Speaker 1:

Okay, interesting. Okay, I'm learning a lot of things today.

Speaker 2:

Right, okay, so people who speak through their pelvic floor versus like through their shoulders or like nasal. Or like lungs or no, or yeah, or even your lungs, like um they are.

Speaker 1:

They are considered to like be sexier and even get like maryland and even get more job offers oh, fudge, yeah, I like the sound of that which I definitely do not naturally speak through my pelvic floor.

Speaker 2:

I'm like I'm kind of like speaking through my lungs.

Speaker 1:

I think a lot see, I don't even know, like I don't even, I couldn't even tell you what I'm doing okay, take a deep breath like okay, put a.

Speaker 2:

Put a hand on your chest and put a hand down, like on your belly. Take a deep breath. Does your lower belly fill up or just your lungs?

Speaker 1:

I mean it's belly too.

Speaker 2:

It's belly too.

Speaker 1:

That's good.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so I'm so guilty. I'll take a deep breath and it's like in my lungs. I have to think about getting it in my lower belly and when you get it down past your lungs, you actually activate your parasympathetic nervous system.

Speaker 1:

So then you're not in like fight or flight mode.

Speaker 2:

You know when you're just like breathing in your lungs and you're not taking in full breaths. Then you're kind of like it's like your sympathetic nervous system and you're kind of in fight or flight mode. You could be more stressed out. So one of the best ways to minimize stress is to take those deep belly breaths.

Speaker 1:

I think yoga has really helped me the last couple years.

Speaker 2:

Yes, that's why yoga is so amazing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, breath work. Yeah, when you stretch your muscles.

Speaker 2:

It actually gives your muscles shape.

Speaker 1:

It's just like I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I feel so much better, I feel more at peace like yeah, my, I'm all wound up like so tight I know, yoga's just like it, namaste it is so effing hard for me to like take a minute and even meditate, like I can't even do it for two minutes a day. It has to be so. It has to be so intentional for me and even when I try, it's like so hard because I'm wound up like you too. So, but if you get away, you go to the yoga class. You could get into that groove, into that mindset.

Speaker 1:

I don't know, and you really do slow down a little bit, even just having the instruction, because I know a lot of people are like, oh, you should do yoga on youtube and you should do yoga at home and stuff, yeah, it's okay. But just being with that group, that class and that instructor Right, I love their voice it just makes you feel peace.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so if you were going to go? This is a new trend new trend alert, but I want to ask you what you do first.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

When you go for like a walk. Do you grab your headphones or do you just? Do you just go?

Speaker 1:

You know what? I used to grab my headphones, and now I recently just keep losing them. So I probably would always grab them. But you know, when you just are like losing them, I'm just probably by nature I want to grab it.

Speaker 2:

So here's the new trend that Gen Z is obsessed with.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I love a Gen Z it's called silent walking. It's a good thing? Yeah, Because you know the headphones now are so fucking loud and like so noise canceling you kind of don't feel like you're in nature.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 1:

I feel like it's just like stuck in there and then you're just like in a bubble, right, silent walking is something that gen z's are describing now as like a new trend yes, what I know like I'm so shocked that this is becoming a thing, but I'm also like really into the gen z's. Yeah, that I'm like I get it like we in some ways. I think a lot of people suffer with all these like mental illnesses because of social media and like even though it's paramount for our business.

Speaker 1:

In podcasting, social media shorts this, that, the other, and there's ways for us to, like you know, be able to have that freedom of working on our own business. There is something to be said about like this silent walking that is like incorporated with social media.

Speaker 2:

You constantly have to be stimulated with something, even on the toilet, yeah, yeah, even in the shower. I mean, some generations are just finding it humorous that this is even a groundbreaking trend, because it wasn't really a thing to not silent walk before and um, what's kind of sad is like these Gen Z-ers, they're actually getting anxiety to have to go on a silent walk. It's like anxiety inducing.

Speaker 1:

I mean, what is your thoughts? You like a silent walk, right, I love a silent walk.

Speaker 2:

I do think it's like definitely like was a common practice before smartphones, but they didn't grow up in that era, so I have empathy.

Speaker 1:

Remember when you got your first iPod?

Speaker 2:

I used to like listen to it on the school bus.

Speaker 1:

I loved it for a walk and I definitely used to like put it in for running and stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But speaking of, like the ADHD, that's what's happening to a lot of people now ADHD. Symptoms like symptoms. I don't think everyone has ADHD. I think ADHD is a serious thing, but ADHD apparently, to sum it up, it's when you're creating thought faster than you can figure it out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and you know what A doctor that like a good way to like work on your adhd naturally is by getting a cardiovascular intense workout, and he even said one thing that's really helpful is doing pickleball oh really playing a game of pickleball to like.

Speaker 2:

Help with your adhd I've heard that sports like pickleball or tennis, like hand-eye coordination, racket sports, in particular um, are like super good for your brain apparently like the hand-eye coordination thing is like really healthy for your brain.

Speaker 1:

It can even prevent like alzheimer's and things like that I know, because you know we all have to be working on our like. Health is wealth.

Speaker 1:

Health is the new wealth yeah you know, because if you are, you know, getting older, as we're living longer with medication and modern medicine, you want your brain to still be there. What's the point of living if you're just like and I feel bad saying this, but like my grandmother and I know there's a lot of other grandparents out there that would say the same thing they'd rather just not be alive than be like in a nursing home yeah, not aware of what's going on and there is something that is like hard to see them just kind of there physically but not mentally.

Speaker 1:

So like what do you? Do like it's just, it's like that's kind of where we've came and like you know even this cody sanchez, who is like a big entrepreneur, social media influencer, like was a financial banking investor and she states like the new businesses to get involved in is nursing homes and creating small nursing homes, like yeah, I heard about this. You can like create like a house and like, and it's like you could get five times the rent. Yeah, you would, for just a traditional tenant well, and it's gonna be a demand.

Speaker 2:

The baby boomers are aging, oh yeah, and it's going to be a demand.

Speaker 1:

The baby boomers are aging, oh yeah. And it's weird, she goes from talking about buying these small businesses, because a lot of boomers will sell their business and they don't have a retirement plan or somebody to purchase their small business. So she's like grab all the laundromats, grab all the what else was she talking about? Car washes? And now she's like create those nursing homes, or you know, I don't know if it's nursing home is the right word, is old age home or elderly home?

Speaker 1:

nursing home is what they call it, yeah nursing home okay, so on a positive fun, though let's talk about a messy experience yeah, let me hear it well, I think it's tricky because, you know, in some weird way it's like we do want to like encourage talking about the fun messy experiences.

Speaker 1:

Like I totally am like one to always like bring up my messy past and who the fuck knows, I mean, right now I shifted my problem into another problem, yeah, which is like hooking up and that's not really safe or good. I mean it's kind of distracting too, like hooking up with like people and then you know, I mean I had like a good time recently and it was fun, but then I was just like you know, I need to tone it down.
