Welcome to Tiffsy Tats and Tacos. Where we talk about life and all of its bullshit. Y'all parental discretion is advised. Watcha kids. Listen if you fucking want to.

Bitches. The recording, like audio, is giving this like... As it should be. Yes. It's October.

I love it. Yeah, so it is October. Welcome October. It's been warm and cold and wet. It's been warm and wet.

Yeah. And then cold. Is that like a yeast infection? Sounds accurate. Sounds like somewhere bacteria would grow.

Or you should talk to somebody about that. I'm talking about outside. Guys, hello. Right. No, I don't need to see a doctor.

Yeah, yeah. So we're most of the way through the month. But we wanted to talk about breast cancer awareness month. Yeah. Since one of us has been dealing with breast cancer personally.

It's hitting home this year. For one of our own here on the podcast. Guess who it is? Might be Jamie. It's me.

It's Jamie. Yeah. So we kind of teased at this in our last episode that we would talk about something, some big news. And this is the big news. You thought it would be exciting.

Sorry. Sad note. No, no. Actually, it's not too sad. It sucks, yes.

But I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June. And I just had a bilateral mastectomy in September. And I'm currently waiting on reconstructive surgery. But they got it all. And I would just say that if you are of the age to do mammograms, do them.

Or even if you're not and you feel a lump in some self-exam. That was going to be my next sentence. Yeah. If you're not of age, like if you're younger and you're worried about it, definitely go and talk to your doctor about doing like an ultrasound. Because they may not do a mammogram, but they could do an ultrasound to see what's going on in there.

But definitely lots of technology that caught it way early. It was super low stage for me. It seemed really drastic to do what I did with a bilateral mastectomy. But it's going to be great, man. I don't have to do mammograms the rest of my life.

Fuck yeah. Amazed balls. Love that for you. I haven't had any more breast tissue. So those are gone, though.

But yeah, we're going to enjoy that ride. But yeah, definitely go get checked. Check your boobies in the shower every day. Make sure that nothing changes. I've never checked mine.

But also like if you have... I'll check them. Yeah, you come check them. I got you. Every day.

I need them checked every day, Stevie. Every day. It's like I can't have caffeine, so this will like me up every morning. So just come to my house first, check my breasts, and then you can go on your way. On every day.

I love it. A little wake up call for both of us. What'd you do this morning? Fondle my friend's butts. I did a breast exam.

Did you stop for coffee? No. I stopped to do a breast exam. Something better. Yes, way better.

It's warm and squishy. Yeah, it's like a marshmallow. But if you have dense breasts, ultrasounds are good also for the mammogram. When she got her diagnosed, it encouraged me to do my mammogram because I wasn't going to. Because you hear horror stories about getting them done.

They hurt so bad, they swish your boobs, blah, blah, blah. I mean, they're not meant to be comfortable. They're not meant to be comfortable, but you hear horror stories like, oh my god, women crying. They flattened my boobs. You know what's sad?

What? That if men had to get routine breast exams, they would not be like this. Agreed. If they had to put their wiener in that thing. Yeah, if they had to get their balls squished, fuck yeah, there would be all kinds of uproar.

They just have to get them fondled by a doctor. Like, why can't we get our boobs fondled by a doctor? And maybe a finger up the butthole, which is sometimes pleasant to some people. Oh, they love it. Their prostate is right there.

Yeah. They're fine. But they don't want to seem gay, you know, because they don't want to say they like it if they're not gay. That's their problem. Do you know how I know you're gay?

It's like a personal problem. You like Enya? Sorry, it's on a movie. I'm like, what? I do like Enya and I am gay, so that's not true.

You're like, actually, that makes so much sense. I guess I should say queer. I'm queer. That's not ever. But I'm here to say that the mammogram machine, the boob squisher is not that bad.

It's not. They have upgraded it from years ago. At least the lady who was examining mine, she's like, are you scared? I was like, yeah, I've heard horror stories. And she was like, it's different every time.

The machines have been upgraded and, you know, it's not as bad as it used to be. And like, okay, like Jamie said, or whoever, I can't remember. I'm sorry. Somebody said that it's not comfortable. I think Jamie said that.

It's not comfortable. But it doesn't hurt that bad. Just a little bit. I came out of my first mammogram with that's it. Like, that's what people bitch about.

Yeah. And maybe it was because it was in my head that it was going to be worse than what it actually was. And so I was like, oh, that's you're right. That's not that bad. But for me, I haven't had it done yet, but it can't be worse than getting your inside scraped.

And tested for endometriosis. That's what I was going to say. Dude, that hurts. Honestly, I'll take any boob squishing. Yes.

That means they don't have to literally scrape off a piece of my insides to test it. Yeah, no. I've had that done too. And now I would definitely do a mammogram way many more times than doing that again. I do a mammogram daily.

Yeah. Well, I'm going to get one. Because Stevie comes to do mine. My breast exam. Done.

In fact, I read somewhere and I haven't fully researched this. So don't just take what I say with a grain of salt. But a man discovered or they discovered that men can now get endometriosis. And you know how they want to start testing for endometriosis now? A fucking saliva test.

Oh, you're fucking kidding me. I'm not kidding. And it'll be available to everyone from the ages of 18 to 36. You motherfuckers. Because a man all of a sudden might get inconvenienced.

I'm silently screaming right now. Oh, I was like, of course, as soon as men... Save our ears. The process changes. Yeah.

As soon as men have to do the hard things that us women, they're fine. They can be tortured a little bit. We can take it. We can take it because we're badasses. They're mere peons.

We shouldn't have to. They're not... I mean, the men are the hierarchy. They're the top of the chain anyway, right? I must just throw my wine back up into my glass.

Gross. Yeah, I second that. Not wine, tea, but you've got the idea. I mean, yeah, same. Cheers to throwing up to men.

Cheers. Cheers. Unless you're a cool man and you're not a pussy. Yeah, not all men, sorry. We're not bashing on everyone, okay?

But every time a man, so... It does suck. Every time a man dies, an angel gets its wings. That's what I heard too. Legit.

I need that sign just on my door. Every time a man dies, an angel gets its wings. We need more. How does every time a pedophile dies? More of the pedophiles, the creeps can go, yes.

100%, especially the monster one right now. Okay, wait, before we move on, before we move on, because this is another conversation. Because October is breast cancer awareness month, so that's initially why we wanted to save it for this month also. Yes. That's why, you know.

Well, I did want to talk about it earlier, but we had some holdups. Yeah. But that's okay. So do what you can. Get your mammograms, rub your own boobies, have your partner rub your boobies, I don't know.

Rub them every night, check for lumps. Make it for your friends. Oh, is that different? I don't know. Include your friends.

Check your armpits too, guys. Maybe do it in a group setting. Everybody check each other's boobies. Like a booby train. A booby party.

It's a gang bang boob job. Don't say gang bang. Why would I have a down-marriage? That's a different meaning, guys. To a fun bing.

That does have a different meaning. It did change. I'm sorry. Okay, let's get rid of that one. No, no, we're leaving you out.

Just letting you know that the party is no longer what you think it is. Let's have a boob-feel party. What kind of parties are you having? Not boob-feelies. It's actually warm in here.

Yeah. So, Jamie wanted to go over, and I don't know, I didn't do any research on any charities or orgs, unfortunately. I'm sorry. Yes, it's fine. I just, good news on my part.

I just started a new job. Yay. Yay to all of our fans that were so worried because I did get laid off. And now I'm back to work. So don't worry.

Yes. But Jamie has some info on some charities and orgs that we can donate to that are reputable. So sometimes some charities don't do what they actually say. So I researched and found the best ones that actually do what they say they're doing. Are any of these the ones that do the walk at Liberty Park?

I'm not actually sure. I think the last one is maybe. So the first one is American Cancer Society. They were founded in 1913, which is crazy. It's the oldest and largest cancer organization in the United States.

And yeah, they have funded billions of cancer research and helped launch life-saving breakthroughs that have impacted millions of breast cancer patients. And they support them by providing rides treatment, lodging during treatment, breast cancer support, hair loss, and mastectomy products. And over the decades, they have funded dozens of Nobel Prize laureates, including James D. Watson. So that was a good one.

He created or he led to this discovery of the double helix structure of DNA. The second one is breastcancer.org. So that one's pretty obvious. You guys can look that one up on your own. You can just Google the other one, American Cancer Society.

But this one is dedicated to providing information and community to those touched by the disease, founded in 2000 for breast cancer patients who needed more information and support than doctors visits could provide. So it's like a support kind of like site. Yeah. So they help patients understand the breast cancer, like the symptoms, the diagnosis, the treatment and side effects, day-to-day matters, risk of diagnosis and recurrence. And they publish peer reviewed summary articles that help explain the latest in breast cancer research.

So that's a good one. And then the last one, I'm just going to give you the top three, is Breast Cancer Research Foundation or BCRF. And their mission was founded in 1993. Their mission was to prevent and cure breast cancer by advancing the world's most promising research. So I think those are the ones that do the marches, but I could be wrong.

They currently fund 275 researchers focused on specific areas of breast cancer as a complex disease. So that comes to like heredity, ethnicity, lifestyle, metastasis, survivorship, treatment, tumor biology. And in 2018, they funded researchers and completed a 10-year study, a trial called Taylor X, which helped thousands of early stage breast cancer patients avoid the use of chemotherapy. And just so you guys know, I don't have to do radiation. I don't have to do chemo.

I don't have to do hormone blockers. I just did the surgical removal of the breast tissue and I'm good to go. I don't have to do anything else. So because they caught it so early. Yes.

It was an option, but she didn't want to do that option. This is correct. Yeah, I could go into the details if you'd like with my options. I don't know if you want to talk about that. I did have option of doing a lumpectomy just on the side that the cancer was located.

However, because the microcalcifications that I had in my mammogram spanned like a seven centimeter arc in my left breast, they would have had to have taken out like a cigar length of tissue that was about two to three inches wide. So I don't have a lot of tissue. If you know me, I'm not, I don't have a lot going on with this body. She's not welling down. No, I don't.

I don't have a lot. But they're beautiful breasts. They're beautiful. Itty bitty titties. But I did have two kids in my breastbed.

So they're, you know. They work. They work healthy. So yeah, if I would have done that, my surgeon told me I would look like a shark bite victim. So she recommended I do the mastectomy on that side.

And I said, okay, well, what about the other side? Can I, you know, I don't know if I can live with one fake boob and one real boob or one flat and one normal. So that was kind of part of my decision process of determining, you know, what to do. Additionally, I did do the BRCA testing, which they call BRCA, to make sure that I didn't carry the gene that causes breast cancer and cervical cancer. So I was negative for that, which is good.

But I wasn't mentally prepared to be surgically done with the mastectomy. I thought I was going to go and do a lumpectomy. But when I met with her, she was like, probably not the best idea unless you want to look like that, like if you want to look like a shark bite victim. So I went with this route to try and look as normal as possible and hope that it helps me mentally get through the rest of my life. And if anybody's out there, because my sister had a friend that or a friend at her work.

She's a teacher. I'm not going to say what school or anything, but that had to have the same thing. And she said she just did. She could only do the one side because insurance supposedly wouldn't cover both. That's a lie.

But then, yeah, when Jamie went to her doctor, her doctor told her that insurance has to pay for both. For symmetry. For symmetry reasons. It may not have been that in the past, but it definitely is that now. So just FYI, if anybody's listening and going through the same thing or potentially in the future or whatever, if you were going to lose one, your insurance has to pay for both.

But I did check with my insurance to make sure. So my doctor did tell me they have to pay and I didn't trust that because I'm always a questioner. So I went to my insurance company. I was like, hey, what do you say about this to my benefits person? And she said it came through as approved.

So I was good to go. But yeah, definitely do your research. Make sure that your insurance isn't one of those dickheads that doesn't cover both sides for symmetry because that's fucked up. It's illegal. Fucked up.

Been fucked up. And illegal. It's wild that that's not advertised more. Right? You would think that doctors that care about patients would want to advertise that.

I would be like, hey, you really want to push this because they will cover it, but they won't ask you. You have to tell them because insurance companies are assholes. Yeah. And so I told my surgeon in the consultation, I was like, do you guys just make sure you code it a certain way? She's like, we got you covered.

We're good. And it's because I went to Huntsman. Like, I feel like if I would have gone anywhere else, it would have been probably a fight. I don't know. I don't know, though.

I've not been anywhere else. I wasn't able, because I wanted to go to Huntsman, they wouldn't let me have another appointment with another doctor. So they said that if I had seen another doctor before I came to see them at Huntsman, they wouldn't have seen me because they're not doing second opinions because they're so busy right now. There's so much breast cancer going on right now. And not even just in this state.

I'm sure people are flying in to get coverage here with these doctors, but they were fucking great, man. Well, it's becoming the norm. It's like the flu. It's not. It's ridiculous.

I know. The few people that I've told about this personally in my bubble have said that, you know, they know a few people themselves that have had a diagnosis this year similar to mine or something of that nature. And it's crazy, guys. Yeah. Yeah.

It's weird. I don't want to be part of this club, but here I am. You know what? I would. I'm just thankful that you went and they found it as early as they did.

I was just going to say it could have been way worse. Yeah. And trust your gut, man. I have you. I don't have your real boobies, but I have you.

And then all that matters. Trust your instincts. I was supposed to get my mammogram in January and I was putting it off. And I just couldn't figure out why I was putting it off because I usually go in like on the dot every year at the same time. And she follows the rules.

I do. I'm a rule follower. I don't know if you guys know this. I think we've talked about this before. Probably.

But I finally went to just my regular annual with my OBGYN and he convinced me to finally go in. And it was perfect timing because if I would have gone in in January because they were such micro calcifications, they probably wouldn't have caught it in January, but they did in June. So trust your gut. If you feel like you're not ready to go in, don't go in. Wait until your body tells you to.

I don't know. Do what you do. That's what I did. Right. You get a mammogram and then you're like, it's clean.

And then too much later, you're like, my body is telling me I need another one. Can I get one? It's kind of like a teeth cleaning. I could get it every six months. Well, if you're doing breast exams in the shower, then you could find something that's changed and that would provoke them to do another mammogram or even an ultrasound or something else to confirm if that is something that gives us a self-concert.

So yeah. Well, I had in my mammogram, I did have to go back for a biopsy because I had a cyst. We were worried that she was going to follow my path. I was like, fuck off. We're linked in so many ways.

Cosmically, it's redonkulous. But so I was like, I couldn't feel it because it was behind, it ended up being, I think, behind my nipple, like where they put in the needle to do the biopsy. And I didn't. You had no idea what was there. I couldn't.

I had something that was benign. Yeah, mine was benign. Yeah, exactly. That's what we want to make sure. A cyst.

But yeah, biopsies suck. I had three different kinds of biopsies before they could rule out both sides for me. Well, let me tell you, my nipple was not right for like four months. That shit sucks. And they didn't even, they just touched like the very, like I don't even think they touched like the outer circle of my nipple.

Like it was like right next to the outer circle on my nipple. And I was like, dude, my nipple wasn't right for like four months. It's like, you ruined me. I was like, why does my nipple still hurt? But don't touch it.

Yeah, well. My daughter would like barely brush against it. And I'm like, ow, don't touch me. Well, hey, at least you didn't get your boob completely punctured all the way through. I know I did in one of my biopsies.

And that was like, what the fuck? Yeah, I know they're small. Damn it. But pay attention. Are we encouraging you to?

Stevie, Stacie, are you going to go get a mammogram tomorrow? I'm not allowed to until I turn 40. Yeah, unless you have a lump. Because no, I had a family history and they thought, I was like, okay. And then they were like, well, how old?

I was like, well, she didn't get diagnosed until like 60. And they're like, oh, we usually say about 10 years younger than the family member. And then I found out that hers was a side effect of a drug she took. So I was like, oh, so it's not like genetic or hormonal. She was like, no, it was a drug I took.

It was like a, I don't even know. I don't remember what she said. Something for like, not like a vitamin, but like something that she was taking as like a recreational type diet pill or something like that. That just one of the side effects was breast cancer. And she ended up being one of them and then had to get a single mastectomy.

So I remember as a kid, she would, it's like a party trick that she would have when people came over. But like, especially the grandkids, she's like, do you guys want to go see my boob? And she just went out this box with this like silicone boob that she only wore out when she was going out. When she was at home, she wore a bra with one boob. And then she just put in like a chicken, like a chicken cutlet.

Yeah, just a little chicken cutlet. But it was so funny because like at the time I was old enough to find it funny, but like there were several younger cousins of mine that do you want to see my boob? And they were just mortified. And like, especially the boys, like, no. And then she brings it out there like, okay, this is kind of funny.

All right. This is kind of funny. Who puts a chicken cutlet in their bra? You know what? That was before insurance companies apparently were a lot nicer to you.

Yeah, exactly. For sure. Yeah, but just so you know, I've known of people who have passed away at 32 from breast cancer. I check them every day. I make other people fondle my boobs.

Yes. Okay, I don't know you. But you haven't tested my boobs. When you come to check mine, I can check yours. Why do you think I'm always fine with you guys like fondling me?

Like, hey, they might find something. Because like one day when I fondle them and then I'll be like, hey, what is that? This is new. That was in San Francisco. Except that would scare the shit out of me.

I know, right? And I might go into hiding. Let's pray that that never happens. Yeah. For sure.

For sure. Yeah, no, I've asked. I was like, I mean, can I just, I'm here. Can I just, it's three years away, two and a half years away. And they're like, no, we have to wait.

Like, okay, we'll leave it off the inevitable. That is what they tell people though. All right, well. It makes sense. And I have a family history too.

Aubrey and I will make sure that we do a thorough exam. Yeah. I appreciate it. Thank you. Welcome.

I will get mine this year. Because I just hit. Because you what? Or your boobs. You have an incoming call, Stacie.

I know, I just declined it. It said your recording had stopped because you had an incoming call. Yeah. It was like, quit it. You're like, no, I didn't ask for that.

Not for today, sir. Not for today. No, I have a family history as well, but I will be getting mine this year, but they wouldn't let me do it prior to 40 either. So yeah, soon enough. I just aged myself, I guess.

Are you turning 40 this year? I just turned 40 in June. She just turned 40. Oh, that's right. I was like, you were there.

That's right. I fucking forgot. I'm sorry. That's all right. Cheers.

I'm sorry. I was there, but let's do it again. Let's do a half birthday. They do those, right? Yeah, some people do.

Why not? That just makes me think of Alice in Wonderland. Yeah. A very merry and both- I was trying to figure out where it came from. A very merry and birthday to you.

You know what? That's everyone today. I wish you all a very merry and birthday. Everyone but me. Except for maybe a listener.

It is your birthday, and in that case, I wish you a very happy birthday. Jamie just had her birthday. Mine was last weekend. Yeah. Last Friday.

Well, but today is not. We went to dinner. So it's an un-birthday. Oh, let's talk about that. Yes.

We went to dinner. We just had Jamie's birthday. At a restaurant that the New York Times has promoted in their ... Did you see that? No, but it was delicious.

Go, Stevie. Go, Stevie. That's your birthday? Well, it wasn't. It was Jamie's birthday.

It's my un-birthday. It's my un-birthday. We went to a delicious place downtown, Salt Lake, Eight South. It's called Junah. Junah.

So good. Named one of America's best 50 restaurants. It was delicious. It was delicious. Listen, I'm going to bring the hype down just a hair.

Okay. It was good. Oh, you guys didn't love your dish. The environment was nice. It is a little overpriced for some of the items that you may get.

The winner being the gnocchi pasta. No, you got one of the specials. Right? That you got, Aubrey. Yeah, I got the lobster gnocchi.

Then Jamie got an octopus dish. I got one of the specials. Dude, that was in ... after when I saw the receipt. That was expensive.

I'm sorry. No, no, that's fine. It was more than I ... No, but I'm just saying, but it was delicious, so worth it. Whereas Stacie and I shared this Wagyu orzo lasagna.

Lasagna. Oh, so buko. Is that what it is? It was the weirdest thing. That's what it was.

Yeah. It wasn't bad. Weirdest mush. But it was definitely like ... not what I would have ordered if I knew it tasted like this.

Yeah. It was a special, so it's not like a norm that they have on the menu. Yeah. But ... When you go to fancy places like that, I guess lesson learned, ask how it comes, because it didn't look like traditional lasagna form.

I think that's what he was trying for. Visually, it threw you off a little bit. It threw me off a little bit. Well, I think he was going for some sort of fusion something. Yeah.

Well, I think that's what Junna is. It was his taste. It is Japanese Italian fusion. Yeah, it's a Japanese Italian fusion. Like I said, your gnocchi that I tried, great.

So good. The octopus dish that she had, great. Did you try the other friend that was there? The carpaccio. What's the carpaccio?

I didn't, because she had like, I feel like four bites to her plate. Hamachi crudo. I didn't want to take them all. I know. I know.

She got like a salmon crudo or sushi crudo or something. It's a hamachi. Yeah, I think. Hamachi. Yeah, so very like ...

But that's ... It's going to kind of taste the same anyway, so I wasn't overly curious. And my dish wasn't bad. I still thought it was tasty, just probably won't ... Maybe not worth the price, maybe?

I don't know. It was not. No. The wine was good though. The wine was good, but did you see how expensive that shit was too?

No, I didn't. For a bottle of Maria? It was ... Clap, clap. The bottle was like 75 a bottle.

I mean, you want good wine at a restaurant. It wasn't that shit. Unless you bring it yourself. They're like tripling the price. They're going to triple the price of a bottle.

You could probably buy that bottle at the liquor store. Take your own fucking bottle. Oh, would they allow you to do that? I mean, you could probably buy that bottle at the liquor store for a third of the price that we probably paid for it. That's $40 a person for two glasses each.

That's not terrible. That's expensive. Well, we did two bottles, so $30. So you could buy a whole bottle of wine for $30 that you like. Still.

In fact, you could probably buy that exact bottle of wine. Probably. For less than $30. The wine was the most expensive thing on that bill. Oh, good.

Worth it, though. I didn't pick that. It was still such a fun night. The wait staff was amazing. Oh, our waitress was the cutest.

They were so funny. The hostess, the owner, the waitress, everyone was just so lovely. Yeah. So lovely. They accommodated our group.

The cute tall boy. Oh, yeah. Jamie made a reservation for four, and we walked in with five. I got to sit in the kid's seat. It was great.

We did have a book for her to sit on, but she didn't want to. But one ass cheek. Yeah, it was hanging off. Quote unquote, comfortably sat on it. Yeah, that's not fun.

But it was delicious. I told my partner, I was like, I'm taking you there. I told people at work about it. I was like, try it. Don't get the wagyu anything, whatever you do.

Otherwise. Unless you want to. Here's what it looks like. This is how it will come out. Have your own adventure.

Yeah, it looks like a baby bird maybe threw it up. But, you know. Maybe there's probably some people out there who were like, that was the best lasagna I've ever had. Yeah. It was not.

But that's fine. Yeah. So have your own adventure. I did not try that, by the way. Ask all the questions.

I know I didn't try it. You weren't missing out, guys. We had some delicious appetizers, too. We had some eggplant balls. What were those called?

I can't remember. I think they were called eggplant balls. It was something like that. No, it was like a... But they came in a sauce and a...

A rendition of crab cakes, but no meat. It was eggplant balls. They were balls. It's not a cake. It's a ball.

It wasn't called balls, though. They were something else. Well, they're balls. They were balls. Anyways, it was delicious.

And the bread came with pesto sauce, also delicious. And there was this bruschetta... Wait, what was it called? Bruschetta? The bruschetta was good.

Burrata. Oh, yeah. It was a burrata. Burrata. That's what it was.

Blueberry compote. It was a warmed burrata with blueberry and... They had truffle butter. Yes, they did. Yes, with the bread.

Yeah. The champagne is the best thing ever. I still dream about it. I think I love burrata. I could marry burrata.

Oh, burrata is my fave. Burrata is all about the cheese. Fucking amazing. The right bread. The right...

Yeah. The right compliment. You guys are reminding me, when I would travel to New Jersey for work, there was a Hilton that I would stay at in Morristown. You guys should all check it out. Anyone who's in New Jersey, go to Morristown, the Hilton that's right there.

The bar. Best burrata I have ever had. And that was a staple when I would go to work. At a bar. Wow.

At a bar. It was just a Hilton bar. And just a glass of wine, a burrata. The bar staff was just fun. It was a good time.

I could live on sushi and burrata and bread. Oh, sushi and bread. My whole life. If I was guaranteed to not get mercury or poisoning. Mercury?

Hey, did you know that there are three deep... I'm going to finish now, so be careful when you're ordering. Make sure that you read the menus. Please, please. I don't like that.

And really cool thing that that reminded me of. There is a university in Tokyo. University? A place in Tokyo. Scientists have created a robot with human skin that they have grown themselves that can heal itself.

Ooh. I mean, they've only gotten as far as the hand. But I think that's really freaking cool. It's creepy. But if you lean into the science and the very cool aspects of that.

Multiplicity. I'm sorry. I just saw what my face was doing. I'm sorry. I see an apocalypse movie in our future where the robots who are lifelike and can heal themselves win.

No, that's like Terminator shit. But I think it's cool. I just think it's cool. It is cool. It's cool, but it's freaking...

Think of what that can do to healthcare. Yeah. If they bring that into healthcare. The problem is... People who have burns...

They don't want to fucking heal us. No, the problem is there's dickheads out there that want to make a profit and then they make This is Japan. Just reminding you. This is not America. This is Japan.

And I think it is in Japan where they actually started letting more... I can't remember what they've done, but they've created it so more sunlight comes into the hospitals because sunlight has proven to help heal. They have taken patients from their hospital room outside and let them sit outside for 20 minutes or whatever. Or even the patients that sit closer to the window have been reported to heal a lot faster. So they've been working on that and they've actually been implementing...

Cats. No, not cats. They've been implementing sound, vibration, and meditation and things like that in the hospital because it has proven to help the healing process. Not here in America. Of course not.

No, no, no, no. Because we need to line our pockets as no, no, no. Patriarchal men. No. I told you guys about my friend's birth.

There's some fucking dumb ass bitch women out there too. That's true. Can't Just Blane it on men. There's some ho-bag women out there. There's equal opportunity assholes.

Yeah. But I told you guys about my friend's birth in Japan for her second baby. So her first was here. So she's had two kids. First birth was here in Virginia.

Typical American system. She had a lot of problems. Very, very nervous. Very honestly hate that that was her first birth experience. A lot of complications.

Baby is fine. She's been fine. She's now six. We're good. Well, she's seven.

So second baby born in Japan. They're in Japan for work. Night and day. No health problems. She was relaxed the whole time.

They let her stay in the hospital like almost a full week. Wow. Like she got to eat like lobster and steak as soon as she gave birth. Like, and it was just all a part of like with the service. Like it's just common for them.

It's just common. The like the staff was very sweet. She got like massages, like meditation where it was an option for her. Lighting options in the hotel room. And they probably didn't wake her up every two hours.

No, it was very calming. She said, and I was like, wow. She's like, oh, the differences between the United States birth, like health care system versus the Japanese health care system for her was she wishes everyone could experience her second birth. Because her second birth was so much more stress free than her first birth. Her first birth is so chaotic and so nerve wracking.

And then obviously like health risks on top of, you know, everything else that was happening. Whereas the second time around, like they even provided a doula if you wanted. By the way, I researched how much a doula would cost if I wanted to have a baby. An actual doula is seven grand before the even birthing moment happens. So they sit with you for seven grand for like a few months leading up to.

And then the day of the hospital, it's another like seven grand. I'm like, well, I'm poor. What country is it that they're only allowed one baby? Is it China or is it Japan? China.

I think it depends on the sex of the baby and that's not that anymore. It was like that for a while, but I think they've changed that. Yeah, I was going to say because it seems weird that Japan has such a great experience in that. Oh, you can only do this once. No, no, no, they're very open.

But I think also the. So your friend is not moving back. I mean, she has to eventually, but we haven't even been able to visit her and it kills me. But yeah, no, I can we come with you. I was like, I was like, all right, husband, can we just go out of the country and.

You know, have our baby there and then come back to the US. Right. Like this plan for us. Or maybe it seems like a universal outside of the US thing that is. We just find somewhere to set up a compound.

Remember, we were going to do a compound of sorts. That's what I told Jamie when she said she was going to move to Portugal. And that's where we build our compound. Done. I know Spanish.

We're good. Somewhere, somewhere we're making a compound. I don't know Portuguese, but I know Spanish. Not here, not here. Thailand.

If we go to Turkey for a while, that would be amazing because then I could get a boog lift for really cheap. Yeah, you and I talked about this. We were going to get boob lifts. Yeah, so that we could. I'll help care for you.

Have the recovery time that I need there. I guess they'll probably care for you. I'll be there to assist. Hey, it's my home country. I want to go back.

I know. I want to go there so bad. I've seen so many beautiful pictures there. It's unfortunate that you have to be very careful and really research what politics is happening over there. Because the wrong time of year, Americans aren't welcome.

I mean, nine times out of ten, Americans are welcome. That sucks. Like my dad went there. What if I just stayed at the hospital? Well, okay.

So my dad went there for work in 2016 or 2015. Who went there? My dad when he was working at Lockheed and he had to travel. And I was like, oh my God, can I come? He's like, I am not allowed to leave the base.

So I don't know how much fun you're going to have on the base because I have been explicitly told that it is at my own risk if I leave the base and they are no longer responsible for whatever happens. And he does not like he didn't want to be responsible for whatever can happen to me because you know me. I've been like, let's go down here. Let's go explore here. Let's do it.

Same. And we'd be right there on person or you go down the wrong street or I don't know. Like, yeah, I mean, especially for women. It's very unfortunate because I remember small details as a kid and how pretty it was over there and how much I want to go back and I see pictures. But I also am very respectful of the dangers that are potential.

So I wonder if that's how yeah, it still is. Because like you hear about American like people, men mostly going over there all the time for hair transplants because the flights home and they're just like, did one of our friends go there or was that here? No, I had a bunch of people at my previous work, even like the CEO, like go there and get it done. Like they had a whole group and they like he even said on the flight, they get like a discounted rate. All the men know it's just cheaper.

Like versus here in the United States, the flight there, the hotel and the procedure are all cheap, like all combined. It's cheaper to get that done than it is to do it over here. So basically you pay for getting it done there and they include your flight and wherever you stay. That's what I've heard. I don't know.

I guess that would depend on where you get it done. But I like even if you got like a flight because there's probably some people who don't want the flight that they include. But it's just more a matter of like how much cheaper the procedure is there versus here to where you can actually collect the flight. Well, like procedure and aftercare, right? Follow up.

Yeah. And you don't have to, for that, you don't have to be there that much longer for the aftercare. For like care plans, yeah, you can get on a plane the next day. Yeah. It's just more like you might need to be there for like a week.

Exactly. You know what, let's make it three. A boob lift, like you can't because they have to check it. You probably have like drains in. Well, and you probably don't want to go into a pressurized cabin right after.

You know what though, I was told that sometimes people will fly into Utah to the Huntsman to get their, you know, breast situation, cancer situation handled. And then hop on a plane to go home to recover. So it does happen. But yeah. But that long of a flight from Turkey to.

I was going to say that's like a 20 hour. Well, maybe not that long, but it's a day flight. Like you're flying for a day. It's at least like probably 13 hours plus, I would guess. You know what, I have a computer in front of me.

Google that shit. You just have to empty your drains every 12 hours. Oh, well, I recommend this. I love that wine. Rose.

It's pretty. Oh, I should. Is that what you had at your birthday party? Aubrey. I did have this one and then I had another one.

What's that, Brands TV? The one that starts with a P. That also. Oh, Pia Telly. Pia Telly.

Yeah, they've got good reds, whites and roses. They're they're from Argentina. Mendoza. They're a Mendoza. All of their.

Shades bomb. I'm trying to think of how to explain their wine, how it was explained to me. I fell in love with their white first, which is kind of like a. I fell in love with their red first. Well, OK.

Well, the first wine that I ever had of that was a white at the Tracy Aviary Wine Tasting. Oh, and it was like a mix between like a Savion Blanc. And a Pinot Grigio. So like, I don't know, super tart and like. Soft and sometimes sweet, maybe not even like like a sweeter sav a blend.

And it is the crispiest, perfect Porsche Panther. Porsche Pounder. Inside jokes. Jamie said that one time. But it is like the perfect like it's a hot day.

You're just chilling in the shade. Keep it chilled. Like perfect. So then I wanted to try like all of their other flavors. And then I think Aubrey and I tried like a.

Was it? Was it like a Malbec or I don't know if they had like a darker red and then they had a rose, which was like Malbec style rose. Yeah, we always had their reds at home. So I tried their reds first. My partner would always he started buying that brand just because it's from Mendoza, Argentina.

And it's which I think should be our next girl's trip. Agreed. And then for my birthday, I was like, I know I love this brand. So I got a bottle of the white and a bottle of the rose without ever even tasting them. And then Stevie was like, I love their rose.

And I was like, perfect. I haven't tried it yet, but I love their reds. And they're pretty inexpensive. I mean, the white has gone up because it used to be like $8. And I would buy out the entire wine store when they had it.

And now it's like, I think, 12 or 13. Oh, no. What? Is it more? I don't think they're that cheap.

Tariffs. No, they are pretty cheap. The whites. That's why it was like so surprising. And it's the only white that my husband will drink.

He doesn't he likes reds. And I'm like, that's fine. I'll drink all whites. Yeah. But it was like, OK, well, this is a hit across the board.

If you're willing to drink it and I don't have to drink an entire bottle of wine by myself when I don't want to. Very rare. But no, it's pretty. No, you're right. It's I think it's up to 15 bucks now.

But I'm just saying, like, it started out super cheap. So anytime I would see it at the liquor store, I would buy their entire like inventory. You created it. Supply and demand. Sorry.

It was just for like as much as I love this wine, why not buy everything they have? I love it. Why not buy it? Versus like trial and error. I think we should make that our T-shirt.

Like the wine I had today. What does the T-shirt say though? If I like the wine, why not buy all of it? Why not buy them out? Buy the lot.

You missed it, Stacie. I'll take all the bottles, please. While we were trying to figure out our audio, I went to a kit wine and I bought a couple bottles of white wine. Like a couple weeks ago, didn't think anything of it. One of them had this really cute Utah label on it.

We never tried it. And I even I even asked it had some like sediment in it, if that's what we're going to call it. I don't know. It had some stuff floating in it. And they were like, oh, yeah, no, that's very typical of that company.

Like they they use like real fruit, but a little blends it. And I'm like, you know what? They don't filter it. Girl, I'm pretty sure that was all cork. Because when I poured it in my glass, I tasted like a mix between ginger and lemon juice.

Vinegar. And vinegar. And I'm pretty sure that's not the flavor profile they were going for. So it was 100% corked. And the stuff that was floating in it was probably cork.

Makes me think of the The shit creek. Yes. Herb herblinger. Herb herblinger. Herb herblinger.

Herb herblinger. When you said that's not the flavor profile they were probably going for. It very, yes. What's this? I'll have to get the label, send it to you guys.

Like show you guys a picture. Like, boof. The label is so cute because it's Utah. And it has a couple cute little designs on it. And I was like, oh my god, I kind of want to just peel this label off and hang it up somewhere.

So hopefully the second bottle of wine I open though. Yeah. Hopefully the second bottle you get from that Utah wine is not shit. Well, it's a tried and true way. I'll bring it up in a minute and show you guys.

But it's a tried and true. But I would just like to say that next year for my birthday, I'm going to be doing a video on the label. If you guys can just go in all together and buy me an actual porch panther, I would really enjoy that. You put a panther on my porch. Dude, hold on.

Do we need to explain? Is that slang for a person? Because in this day and age. I'm not going to be Justin Bieber, okay? We can't buy, first of all, you don't have enough space on your porch for a panther.

It doesn't have to be huge. Panthers innately get huge. Is by the way this little panther group you're teaching. Bingo. They don't make miniature panthers.

You know, I don't know. You shut your mouth. We will figure it out. You shut your mouth right now. We can be scientists.

I have an idea in my head. I'm not going to say it because you're here. But, Jamie, go away. The other girls, I'm going to say it to you later. And then we'll do it.

We'll do it for her. You're getting a porch panther. Again though, is it like slang? Like how in the gay community, bear is a term for a hairy, larger male. Do you want an actual kitty purr purr panther?

Or is it slang for another type of kitty purr purr? Yeah, do you want the other kitty purr purr? I don't know. Let's reassess a couple months before my birthday. There's another good idea just for the record.

So you want, I'm not, you know what, the first will have lions sitting on their, like, the sides of their sidewalks. I would like a panther. So you want me to set you up on a... Just a giant panther. Displuding.

Right. It needs to be scary because it has to scare away, you know, the people that don't belong there. Bad juju. I don't know. As cute as a panther spluting sounds, if I saw a panther in real life spluting, I may not, I mean, still adorable, but also I would still be fucking terrified.

I don't think I can run fast enough, but I'm going to try. I'm going to dip, dodge, dive and dodge. I would love the opportunity to see a panther in real life. I will make friends. Where are panthers, like, native?

She asked like she doesn't have Google right here. The jungle. Our panthers. Not in the United States. Oh, they found one in Utah, in the mountains.

That's a cougar. I'm just kidding. You guys, the first Google hit is so American. I'm pissed. Oh shit.

The Carolina Panthers are based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Like fuck off Google. That is not the animal. That's the sponsor. The sponsored ads.

Keep scrolling down. I never look at the sponsored ads. It's okay. Asia and Africa. Nepal, Sri Lanka, southern India, southern China.

Okay. Indonesia. So when we go to Japan, we may see a panther. Yes. I have not.

Just roaming the roads. Japan at all. You said Asia. Well, Asia is a giant country. Yes.

But then I listed India and then Sri Lanka and then Nepal and then China. Oh, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela. Okay, let's go. I need to domesticate a panther. It's happening.

You need to domesticate a panther. That's horrible. You sound like the, what was his name? The Tiger Cow Halt. Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber? Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber. Is it like Tyler something? Tiger, the Tiger King.

Yeah. Oh God. Yeah, he died. Did anybody watch that documentary? No, and I refuse to.

Absolutely not. Oh my God. My husband did though. I'm literally the only one here that's watched that documentary. Oh my God.

You guys have to watch it. He just brought my woman. This man is insane. I wasn't going to watch it. At first I didn't, I didn't even know about it.

Doesn't he have a mullet? Oh, I love that one. That one is so good. It's a tried and true. It is.

It's just love, white, white wine from California. And it's got these dual hearts all over the label. Yeah. No, my sister watched the documentary on the Tiger King first. And she was like, I was like, no, I was like you guys.

I was like, no, I'm not, I'm not watching it. That's fucking ridiculous. She was like, no Aubrey, you have to watch it. Like just, just watch it. Just watch it.

So one day I was just scrolling and I'm like, what else am I going to watch? Why the fuck not? So I watched it and dude, he's insane. His fucking, there's another woman. They were like kind of competing with each other.

Wasn't it one of his wife? No, it wasn't his. Isn't she the cool cats and kittens? Yes. She's fucking insane.

That's all I know from that show by the way. She's insane. Dude, you guys have to watch this shit. Because the people that start these things are fucking red neck to the core. It just makes me really worry about our society.

Yeah, it did that a little bit. Idiocracy is real. A little bit. But it also talks about like the, you know, like the risks and like the safety precautions people do not take when ordering a tiger or any exotic animal. Like there's so many exo- there's like an exotic underground, like exotic animal underground.

Like you want to buy something? Yeah. You got to find the right person and you can fucking have it. Like, and it's so not- but like anyway, just fucking watch it. Just watch it.

Maybe. You shut your mouth. I will think about it and probably still not watch it. But I will think about it though. Watch the fucking documentary.

How many episodes? Is it just one movie? If it's a group activity and it happens to be on. Okay, so when do you guys want to come to my house? The next party you host, just have it playing on in the background.

Friendsgiving or something. I'm like, Friendsgiving! Tiger King! Perfect. Wholesome.

Family. Like just what I wanted to watch on Friendsgiving. Well, no, my husband watched it. Nobody's paying attention. Perfect.

And he let me know the highlights. Wait, who watched it? My husband. Oh. See?

He'll watch it with you. I'm sure he'll watch it again with you. I don't know if he'd watch it again, but. He's like, yeah, I'm dumber now. He definitely watched it and he's like, yeah, you would not like this.

I'm like- It's one of those shows where you were literally just like- That's what he said. He was like, you're very like shocked, but you can't look away. Like the whole time. It's like the further it gets into it, you're just like, the fuck? These people!

Well, I love you bitches. I love you listeners. Till the next time. Thanks for this video. Love you.

Love you. Love you all. Bye! Bye! Bye!
