Back to School, Allergies & Everything in Between

Generated automatically from the recording, so expect the odd misheard word.

Welcome to Between Neighbors. I'm Carly. And I'm Kat. Your favorite neighbors are back. Woo! Episode four. Yes, four.

Yes, so this episode is gonna be a little lighter. We don't have any planned, like large topics today. Just because I feel like the last two were pretty like emotionally heavy hitting. So, which I think they were good. I do too. Hopefully, you all thought it were too. Yeah. It was how did you feel like getting your story out there?

Um, I definitely felt like relief. I know, as we said, um at the end of episode three, definitely relief, definitely the response and everything, uh, or everybody kind of their comments and kind words. Um, a lot of people said, Oh, I had no idea, you know, also. So it definitely felt felt good to to let it go. Definitely therapeutic.

So you had people reach out and say to you, like, oh, I had no idea this was going on with you.

I I mean, most people who know me, I think by now, but then they know, but at the same time, I I wasn't going around really like you know, announcing it. So I know maybe even some of our neighbors didn't know. You know what I mean? So things like that, I feel like now you know. Yeah. Um, or they didn't know the extent of things, okay. Like some of my friends, um, or people that would like mention it. They were like, Oh, I had no idea, like those were things that you were going through, or or how it happened, you know. Sure, because you didn't really ever share it. Yeah. What about you?

Um, so I feel like with me, I think people were kind of wondering what was going on, like if they saw me, or um, I did like after the first month, ended up putting something out on Facebook, just kind of saying, like, here's a life update. Just because with my illness, you looked at me and you immediately knew something was wrong. And I'm the kind of person that I just want to like get it out there and lay it out there and say, This is what's going on, like, because people immediately think, like, oh, did she have a stroke? Yeah. Or, you know, what is happening? So, yeah, I think that it was nice to get it out there. The full story, I got a ton of texts and comments and just really kind words, just like you know, you were saying about your story and stuff. So I'm glad it was out there.

Yeah, it definitely, yeah, it definitely helped, but then also just kind of uh the support too, you know, at um F Well Grid.

Okay, so what is like going on in our lives right now, right? Back to school. Oh my god, which is crazy because you have a 12-year-old.

Yeah, well, soon to be. Soon to be 12, 12 and 16. No

saying it out loud, it's like, oh my gosh, I'm still 16. Right. In my you know, dreams, but yeah, oh my gosh. Yeah, 16 and 12. That's crazy. You blink and it's like unbelievable.

I know, I know it's not. So, how did the first day of school like drop off and everything go?

Oh my gosh. So uh very funny because it was just I was ready for it. I think that kids were ready for it, but at the same time, it's it's just like a whole nother level, right? Like my youngest is starting started middle school. He didn't want a you know, first day of school picture, didn't want anything to do with me, doesn't want to be driven to school anymore. Now he's on the bus. Like this man is grown, okay? Yes, he is grown. And I um I had posted a photo of him like far away, you know, that's where he told me I could stand for the bus, like the bus stop. And like he's like, you can stand on the driveway. And I was like, what do you mean? You don't want me to walk you to the bus stop? He's like, No. So then, yeah, so in the morning, and like taking the dog out with him, you know, with him as well, and then he's like, Okay, that's where you can stand. And then that's how I like snapped the picture. Then I don't know, it's like yeah, that age of boys, they just totally, totally change. But now you yours is littler, so he was still so like, see your mom, you know, he's so independent.

So he started kindergarten though.

Yeah, that's a big deal. Is it full day? Yeah, it's full day, yeah.

So dropped him off. We did do like the first day of school picture, though. He's still like not cool enough for to say no to me for that.

I mean, I did get one, but he was like, do not post that, so I have to follow those rules. You're lucky. You still have at least a couple years before that all before that all changes.

Yes, yeah, but no, things are going good. I kind of like to be back in like the structure of things a little more. We have soccer starting.

I know your boys both play soccer.

My oldest. Oh, yeah.

The younger one kind of was like, nah, I want to play football, but he doesn't weigh enough to play football in middle school yet. Yeah, so maybe next year. Yeah. Honestly, I don't really want him to play that kind of a sport, but you know, I'm there's still time. Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. But no, I hear you. My son just asked um if he could play hockey. Oh. And I'm thinking, if I had like one, where is this coming from? Did he see you watching? Oh my gosh, we should talk about that show. Okay, what is it called again?

Why am I drawing a blank?

Something campus.

Off campus? Off campus. Yes.

Oh my gosh. So if anyone's watched that show. I mean, obviously, you were watching it in front of him. You probably No, no, yeah, I was not watching it in front of him at all. I binged it the weekend that the kids had summer or summer camp, cousin camp. So my parents like took all the kids for a full weekend to do like this cousin camp, um, where they're the camp counselors. That is so cute. Um, which was nice because then my husband and I had the weekend off, but I binged that show and it's like cheesy.

It's bingeable, yes. Definitely, it's cheesy, yes. At the same time, I'm glad you caught up because we watched it like months ago. Right. Um, now we can send you like the memes and whatnot, because a bunch of us girls from the neighborhood, we have been doing that. Um, yeah, now I'm and you're like, I don't know, who aren't these people? Now you know. Um, but that's hilarious.

Yeah, it is cheesy, but I mean it's good cheesy. So now we have a little bit of a dilemma. What? Because our Thai food just delivered.

Oh. Press pause.

Okay. We'll be right back after the break. Okay, so we're back from our dinner break. Yes, it was delicious. Yeah, we had pad thai. It was so good. I didn't have it for so long. I'm so happy. Yeah, I know. Both of our husbands do not care for Thai food, so we got together and we're like, we're definitely ordering something. What should we order? I'm so excited. And Kat was like, oh, I've been dreaming about it. Literally, yes, it's been like years. Oh my gosh. And I'm like, I'm all in. For sure. Again, this is like an episode, an in-between episode. Yeah. It's not gonna be super riveting. Riveting? Riveting? Is that a word? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay.

It's just gonna be us talking about different topics. So my son has the not allergy, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Trina allergy. So that's like all new for us too, you know, epi pens and making sure things are squared away at the school.

Has he been allergic since birth?

No. So we found out it's been two years now. I want to say, yeah, I think it's been two years. Um at my sister's house, he ate like a cookie that was like prim primarily made with like ground walnuts. And he he like ate it, and then he came to me and he was like, My throat, my throat. And we were like, What? You know, and I'm like, Are you okay? And he's like, No, and then we just left, went to the ER, and they treat you like because it's again it's a very serious reaction. Um, but actually, I'm sorry, before going to the ER, we ended up coming home because he said then he felt okay. We gave him Zurtek, my sister had that, and then we came home and he was just like really quiet, and I kept looking at him and I'm like, Are you okay? And he's like, No, I think I'm gonna throw up. That's what it was. And he went into the bathroom and he just started vomiting, and I saw like hives all over his body, from like his chest to his groin. Like I I've never seen anything like that before. And then I called, because I don't I don't know, I've never had like any type of reaction or experience with that. Yeah, and then we ended up um I ended up calling like the whatever doctor, and they called back and they were like, you need to take him to the ER, that's like a sign of anaphylactic. So I was like, oh my god. So we get in the car and we like book it to the ER and they took us right back and treated him and then um made an allergist appointment, went in, and he is like super allergic to most tree nuts. Um first it was all, and then we went six months later, get retested, and then we went this last time, um, and now he's not allergic to like hazelnuts, but like all other nuts. So in and then they kind of like give you the option of like, oh, do you want to do like a blood test to see how allergic? And he's like, absolutely not. He's like, You are not pricking my finger or taking any blood from me. So yeah, we just left it at that. So now we have an epi pen, and he's pretty good. He's really good about not um like trying anything he hasn't. Um, and then she's like, Oh, we can do like tests of like you trying the food, and he's like, he's like, I have no interest in eating those things, so I guess we're just gonna leave it, leave it alone.

Okay, so has he never had any tree nuts like growing up?

Like he so that's very interesting because he would eat he would eat like these, you know, like European cookies that were made with like hazelnuts. Okay, and he was fine, which now fast forward, he does he's not as allergic to that as a walnut. But I'm I'm telling you, he like all our like baked goods in our culture, like are walnuts, like primarily walnuts, and he's had to have yes, he's eaten them all, right? And then it makes sense because my husband would buy sometimes the one of the grocery stores where we used to live, would have like brownies that had like walnuts on top, and he would always say, like, oh, I don't like those, they like make they make me itchy. And we just didn't think like I'm like, oh well, the walnuts kind of make me itchy too, but not like in that way. And then the amount that he had from this cookie was like over the edge, and it's it's um specifically black walnut, so they're like black walnut, English walnut, all different, and it's specifically the black one where like when he gets the allergy test done, it's like huge, okay. Which I mean, I never like I don't know anybody that has specific allergies, even in my family, either. So it's like I don't know, it's a whole new new road for us for sure. It's it's scary because then right away you're like, oh my god, you're throwing everything out, like you know, oh, and then he's not allergic to almonds though. I don't know, it's so weird that we just found out now.

But that's like is that a tree nut?

Yeah, yeah, it was so weird. I well, so the hope was that it may have been something that he would like grow out of, but then when we went, so the first time, then the second time, and then she the doctor was like, Okay, those are still pretty large. So, like the reactions, yeah, so he's probably not going to grow out of them. It was kind of left at that, and because he's a little older than like when you find out when you're younger, yeah. And then now some of them became smaller. I don't know, it's it's all confusing to me. I just keep it out of my house, and yeah, he knows not to eat it. He's really good about not, and I think because of his age too, he's good about knowing, like, oh, I have to ask my mom, like, can I have that? Or he'll like send me a picture and he's like, is this okay for me to have? Um, so yeah, it kind of sucks, but you gotta be better safe than sorry for sure.

Does he carry an EpiPen like with him?

So they don't let you carry like at school, it has to stay at the office. Yeah. Um, and then I always have one in like my purse. Yeah. Now I do.

Right, yeah.

And I even got the one that like talks to you. Oh yeah, because newer ones. Yeah. I mean, I'm like, hey, they're like, your insurance covers it. I'm like, sure, why not? If it's gonna talk to me, like in a you know, it's already like I I mean, just knowing the reaction that I had when it first all happened, um, to have somebody like tell you, like, okay, you know, this is what you do. Um, yeah. Hopefully I never have to use it though. But right.

Yeah, we have a few epi pens too, just because two of my three kids have been allergic to egg.

Yeah, I how I mean I'm like I lost for words. Like, how does that work when you like everything has eggs? Or is it just actual like eating the egg, or can it be baked into stuff?

I mean, how does like for Caden, who is my son, he it was like everything for him. So when we first I'll never forget, he was like maybe like seven months old, eight months old, because you know they do like the baby lead weaning now where you like don't really do pure purees, you like give them actual food. Oh my god. Oh my god, I have not had kids in a long time. I'm like, what do you mean? Yeah, so like at six months they like start the kids on like salads, like you know, avocado, whatever, but you're not like really giving them purees anymore.

What? No baby jars, those the easiest stuff. No, do they make those anymore? I mean, yeah, they do, but I don't know.

So been a while, yeah. So like at you know, seven, eight months old, I'm like, okay, like scrambled eggs, that's soft. Like that'll be great. So, like, I didn't think like, oh, he could be allergic to this. So I like whip him up a whole plate of scrambled eggs. I put it in front of him, like, this is a nice, easy meal for me in the morning. Of course. So he eats it, and then you know, he was pretty small, so he was like ready to go down for his nap, like shortly after like his morning nap or whatever. So I like walk upstairs and I'm like feeding him a bottle.

And I'm just like looking at his face and I'm like, something seems wrong, you know. Like I'm like, what is going on? It's like dark in the nursery, and I'm like, something just his face doesn't look right. And then I like take him out, and this was like very early in the morning. Caden was a very early riser, so he would wake up at like like sometimes 4:30, 5 a.m. Oh my gosh. Yes, and then we would like to go downstairs and we would do breakfast. And so by the time it was like 8 a.m., like his like wake windows were like an hour and a half long. So it was like okay, he's like ready to go down.

So I literally like take him out into the light, and his whole face is just covered in hives, like raised hives everywhere, and they're like spreading, yeah, then down his neck, and I like freaked out and I like ran him downstairs. I'm like, we need to like he is like having an allergic reaction, and I didn't know like what would happen next. So we like get into the car and he's in the backseat. I'm like with him. My husband's driving, we're driving to the ER, and I'm like calling the like nurse that or like trying to get a hold of like a triage nurse, and I'm like telling her what's going on, and then she's like, Okay, is he having trouble breathing? I'm like, no.

And we my husband and I didn't even know like where the closest ER was, which is so horrible to say. But this was like he's a COVID baby, like we didn't know, like, we were like, Where should we take him? We've never had to deal with anything like that before. I think we both just like panicked. Um, it's not where we live now, and so I was like very like I wasn't as familiar with the area. Yeah. And so then she's like, okay, well, and then all of a sudden it like started subsiding.

Like by the time we're like still driving there, like yeah, that's how I felt like it happened with us too. Um, and then, but still they, you know, yeah, I'm sure they took you right away, right?

Well, so actually like the hives like started to go away, like slowly, he started getting better and better. So as we're driving there, I'm like, okay, like how much is this gonna cost us?

It was more like it was so early in the morning, and we're both like, okay, what should we do? The triage nurse is telling us, like, she honestly didn't say, like, you need to come in, like right away. She did not say that. She was more like, Well, you know, if they're going away, you can try some Zertec, like what you said, and maybe like, so we stopped at a Walgreens, gave him Zurtec right away, and then he was completely fine. So he was not anaphylactic, and then we took him to an allergist and he tested positive for egg. They tested him for like peanut too, and he did not test positive for that, which was great.

But by the time he was three years old, he grew out of it. Oh, that's which I think egg is a very common one that kids can grow out of. Yeah, I think when he would he would like accidentally get it in like I remember one time I bought meatballs and I never thought like a egg. I didn't I don't know why I didn't think that. So then like what what was he able to? I feel like there's so much with eggs. Well, okay, but when he got it baked in, there was no hives, he would just like the diapers were horrible.

Oh, so it was like a gastral and very, very bad. Um they that is a question though that they do ask too, and I think because um, yeah, like it's the gastral part, like as a symptom, right? Or like a side effect of it.

Yeah, so it would be it would be pretty bad. But then by yeah, like I said, by the time he was three, even like two and a half, he completely had grown out of it. But then my daughter, my middle daughter, she was the worst. It's those middle children. I she just tested out of it like two months ago, and she turned three in May. So about about the time she like you know turned three.

See, that's good.

Um so you don't have to w like worry anymore, or they like and they because theirs was never like anaphylactic, we still got epipens, which are like crazy, like all the like stuff you have to do with those, and then you know, when you go to like yeah, like a school and stuff, you have to like give them one, you have to have one, you know, all of that. Um but yeah, she she was she was pretty bad. She both of my girls have like bad eczema too.

Okay, I'm gonna say something about that. What? So my son, that's what uh originally uh as like a baby, he would have he had bad eczema. The same son that's allergic. Correct.

Okay, they go allergies and eczema go hand in hand.

I'm gonna tell you this story because this is a big thing, and even his pediatrician agreed with me. I knew I should have been a doctor. Not really, but um I w I would never, but Um, so yeah, so eczema was a huge thing. And I tried like all different lotions, you know. And he would like, yeah, like he would get better, and then like other times it was like, okay, maybe, you know, of course you want to like bathe your baby, but at the same time, it's like it was making it worse. So it was like, okay, try to not, you know, bathe as often or make sure you're using everything, you know, pure, no fragrance, da-da-da, right? So, and and this went on for years as he was a baby. And then as he got a little older, he started to then get flares like in the crevices of like his elbows and the back of his knees. The back of the knees, I was like, what is going on here? And then it would depend on the weather, like the time of the year. Yeah.

Yeah. And I'll never forget there was an influencer and she had her own um, she had her own uh line of lotions, creams, like for babies. And sh I like was like, wow, she's like this nurse practitioner, she went to school for this, you know what I mean? She's educated, she knows what's up, right? So I'm like, I'm gonna buy this because it seems to be like really great. I'm looking at like, you know, testimonials and whatnot. And I order that and he I get it home and I put it on him, and I'm like, oh my god. Like the next day it looked clear, and I was like, wow, and I'm like messaging that brand like on Instagram, like thinking like oh my gosh, the before and after.

Well little did I know that fast forward in that pro in one of the products was macadamian oil. Yes, okay. Okay, now this is an important part of the story, macadamian oil. So legs are cleared up, and then I continue to use it, you know, like to kind of keep it nice and you know, clear, whatever. Then all of a sudden, I'm like, oh my god, it looks like he has like third-degree burns on the back of his legs. Like after maybe like a week of using it, and I'm like, maybe not a week, it I'm exaggerating there, but uh after like a few few times, it looked like it looked burnt, and I'm like, oh my god, I need to stop this.

So first you like message the brand, like you're yes, I'm like, this is great before and after, like it looked like it legit looked great. I was like finally something's working. Yes. When all of a sudden it it started to look like he had third degree burns, and I'm like, oh my god, I like ruined my child's legs, like the back of his legs. Um so fast forward a few years, like now we're thinking like it's been like it's about probably like that year later, yeah, is when he had that allergic reaction. Okay. Okay. So that all happens, you know, it's dramatic, life-changing, obviously, too, because now we have to, you know, deal with this, he has to deal with it, he doesn't know what's happening. Um, and uh I see a study about eczema and being exposed to an allergen like nuts. Okay, and how that can then exacerbate or create that allergy. Like that, and yes, and so you think uh yeah, so so eczema, yes, but now it makes sense that so he had an eczema outbreak, you know, his skin was probably broken. Yeah, that cream had the mac macadamia oil in it, and that disrupted something in his system that caused that reaction to that base and I I'm not a doctor again, uh fourth episode. I'm not a doctor, but like when I read that study, I was like, this is what happened, this is what happened.

This had like so made like the allergy might have always been there, but it just became like more.

Anaphylactic like it it and then and then when I read that and I was like, oh my gosh, like this has to be what it is. So then a few months later, we go for his physical to his pediatrician, and I had to tell them, like, oh, you know, we had this happen and now he's allergic, so they notate everything. And then I told him about I'm like, you know, I saw this study, and he was like, Yeah, I'm I think that's what it was. Like, I think it was that. So then did you message the brand back? No, but what I did do, I did so that the brand like still would show sometimes like on my feed or whatnot. Um, because she's all over now, like she's even in Target.

What? I didn't find out who this is. Are you gonna name drop it or no? Are you gonna look it up?

It's like Roe Wellness. Oh, I don't know. Um she's like an influencer from Tennessee, of course. Like, aren't they all from there? But um I mean it was great, otherwise, you it was it's the what it's the uh specific skin barrier one and it had macadamia oil, and there's no like there's no allergy um warning.

Okay, that's a little crazy because like if your kid is allergic to nuts, you're not thinking that nuts is in a cream, correct.

And that's exactly what the doctor said too.

The doctor said, so you know how a lot of How did you notice it was in the cream?

Because I my brain started, like when I saw that study about the the topical like ointments and lotions. So you didn't even know before that. No, so once once I saw that, like this has happened, right? Like the allergic reaction has happened. This is like within the last like seven months, probably I would say, maybe eight months, that I saw that study, and when I read it, and I was like, I just started thinking back, and I'm like, huh, what did I use different? What did I use new? Because all the other stuff was like baby cetophil, like you know, very like gentle, you know, things, vanny cream, those sorts of things. So I went back and I freaking Google, you know, and I'm like looking up the ingredients, and I started reading it and I was like, oh my god. So I bought like three different things, and it was only one, one of the creams that had the macadamia oil, and I was like, this has to be it. I mean, what yeah, you know, what other what other reason would that reaction to the back of his legs happen in that way? Right, right. So then um re more recently I saw like on my feed a a woman, like I think it was an ad for it, right? And it's still, I mean, it's still probably a great product, but you know, I was just like, hey, you know, this girl was like, Oh, my daughter is always having like eczema outbreaks, blah, blah, blah. You know, I'm gonna order this. And then one lady was like, Oh, did something change in your in the ingredients because it worked for my daughter and now it's not, it's kind of making it worse. So then I was like, I have to be a good Samaritan and freaking tell her. And so I've never done that before, where like you message like some stranger online with something in a feed, you know what I mean? Yeah, like, or comment on a on a post. I've never done that, and I was like, hey, and I just told her, like, you might want to check this. I said, because in the end, my son is now has a nut allergy, and there's macadamia oil in this product.

And it maybe was like two days, and she wrote me back. She's like, Oh my gosh, she's like, Thank you so much.

Really? Yes, they should at least advertise there's nuts in it, like, even food does that, right? Like, contain trace. Um right, because that's the thing too. You never know how much is actually in something. That's what we would run into with egg. Like, sometimes I would give my son something and he would be completely fine, and it would be like, you know, may contain it. Yeah, and then other times I'd give him something else, and he like wouldn't be same thing with Tegan, my middle child. I would give her like a chocolate chip cookie that my mom would make homemade and put egg in it, and she would be okay. But my mom would like make waffles or something and she'd be horrible.

Interesting, yeah, yeah. It could be too like how it's like heated, yes, all that. And then now I wonder what I told you the other day when he he like ate the waffles, and he's like, he ate waffles, and then the next day he ate waffles, and then now he was like, Oh, I'm never eating waffles again. It made my stomach hurt, and I'm thinking, oh my god, like what's in the freaking waffles? What kind of waffles? They're just like egg-waffles. Maybe there's something in there. I don't know. I gotta look at it now that you're telling me that. Don't take them out of the freezer. Well, he's not gonna eat them anymore. So if anybody wants them, I got like half a pack. Oh my gosh.

If anyone wants them, half a pack. Oh gosh. Okay. So October, the best month of the year. Libra season. Libra season, Halloween, fall, my birthday. Yes. Everything is great. You know, October. Usher and I have the same birthday.

Oh, that's amazing. Why I know that? No idea. I think like back in the day, you used to look up. That's what we use the internet for for like weird stuff like that. Like, what's the birthday? How tall is Michael Jordan? 100%. Like that, those are the kind of questions we asked it. Oh, now it's so different. Now it's what ingredients are in my Skittles? God. No, it's like I need to make three egg bakes for tomorrow. Actually, those do look delicious. Okay, whatever you mean. But side note, I very much enjoy using like AI. You do. I do. I do. You better be careful. Maybe that's how they got your info. No, you didn't put it on. I don't know. I didn't put in like what card they got the cards wrong. But, anyways, so

I found three recipes that I was gonna make for today for tomorrow. I put them into Chat GPT. I asked it to make me an ingredient list so I didn't have to go through and look at everything. They make me a full ingredient list. That's what you did with those? Well, I mean, so then I could just go shopping and I didn't have to sit there and look at each recipe. That's right. Amazing. I mean, this is like level one stuff. There's like

this is like crawling AI. Like there's so much more to use it for. But I'm just gonna start with the most basic. Then I had it like generate all these like cute old school like recipe cards, like with the recipe on it. Oh my god. Because then I like taped them to each bake that I made. And so because my mother-in-law is having like a bunch of people over for her birthday tomorrow, like if anyone likes it, they can just like look at the recipe card, or if they want to know if there's like allergies or whatever, they can look at the little recipe card. That is so smart. That is such a cute idea. Thank you. Thank you.

I used I used AI to do it. That's so cute. Chat GPT, another shout out. They should sponsor us. I wish. Some people are very scared of AI and Chat GPT and all of that. But I think if you use your power for good, right? It's good. If you use it for bad, like anything, if you use it for bad reasons, yes, it can be scary and bad. But everything in moderation. Yeah. No, that's really cool. That's smart. I mean, for grocery lists, it's huge because I used to do a ton of like meal prepping. And I would sit there and spend hours, one, like finding recipes, and then two figuring out everything I needed. And you know, like one recipe calls for three eggs, the other recipe calls for four. This just combines everything. So I'm not like, okay, what do I need? Let me add it all up, you know.

No, that's really cool. I mean, yeah, I think I think there's good and there's bad. I don't like the obviously the fake people calling, or like the pictures online, and you don't know if it's like real or not. Like, that's weird.

Even the videos now of like celebrities.

That's so weird, creepy, or like on TikTok, like a lot of times when it's like, oh, um, like like clothing, and I'm like, this person is not real.

I know, and it like looks fabulous on them, and I'm like, there is no way that this is real, and it's $22. It's like, yeah, that ain't it. It's not your body, yeah.

This ain't the dress, dude. That is scary, those things are scary. I don't I agree, yes.

But like for like you said, to make your life easier like that.

Oh my gosh, automating things or whatnot, and yeah, those things are good.

Um well, um this was fun just to like talk and for our audience to get to know us and stuff. The plan is again, this was a much lighter episode. The plan is to bring on different guests. We have a few that we've actually spoken to, and we have them lined up to come in. We bought a third mic, yeah, we did. So um, we have the tech to bring in people, and we're very excited. Um, we're gonna throw these lighter episodes in here and there just because we don't want things to be too heavy, but we're really excited to see where this goes. Yes.

So yeah, I think that's all we have for today. Did we have any questions? Oh no, we didn't have a question. I think it was another um comment. Yeah, just all the nice comments and keep them coming. We love it. Um, and then we've just gotten like a lot of like texts personally, right? And we like share them to each other.

Yes, and we take a little review our first like oh my gosh, read it. Yes, our first written review. That is amazing. Yes, what was on Apple um and the rating was five stars. The subject line Real Stories by ACC Girl914. Awesome down-to-earth stories that are real. Love to hear your insights and realism, and thank you for being authentic and open. Yes, we're so nice. ACC Girl, what up?
