Go! It's fall y'all! Is it though? Is it really fall? When is the first day of fall? Oh, I don't know. We need to Google that. Oh, okay, I'll Google it. Google it. Well, yeah. But I was, it's just, it's been nice outside here lately. Well, sort of. It's still like 82 in the midday. It's still like, it's still like, it's still like, it's still like, it's still like, it's still like 82 in the midday for a hot minute. September 23rd on Saturday. Oh, wow. So it's real fall.
By the time this episode airs, it will be fall. Well, and it sucks because today, Sarah came over to record. She shows up, I take the dogs out and like, I'm taking the dogs out and one of my dogs, my dog pooped. And so I'm trying to pick up the poop and there are leaves on the ground and they are the same color as the poop. And I'm like, I can't find it. And she's like, it's right, it was right over there. It was right over there. And it took me like five, not five minutes. It was like a minute.
If I move, I'm going to end up stepping in it. Yeah. I was like, oh, I'm going to stay in it. I was like, was it in front of me? She's like, no, it's over here. And then she was like, I see it, I see it. And I'm like, oh my God. Yeah. So the fall is no good because of the leaves. Luckily we have blowers that come, but like the leaves fall so fast here that the blowers like they don't come that often. I mean, they come frequently, but.
Well, Brandon made me laugh because, you know, I don't know what, I was about to say what brand of tree they are, but what. Brand, like type or brand. I mean, that's the right word. But you know how pine trees don't like, you know, turn a color or whatever, or the ones that are like. Like an evergreen. Yeah, that is that what it is? Evergreen tree. Yeah. But we were driving somewhere and he's like, the leaves are starting to turn. And I was like, no, it's just golden hour. That's the sun.
Oh, was it really? No, Brandon. Are you sure? Is he blind or something? Does he need glasses? He does wear contacts every day. Yes, he's very blind, especially to like far away if he doesn't have his contacts in. But speaking of him, though, guess what? He's almost all the way moved in. Oh my God. Yeah. Well, when does he have to be out? I think he's going to try to be out of there by tomorrow or Friday. I feel like it's been an entire month, though, since he turned in his notice.
How long did he have? 60 days. Oh, OK. Well, that's good. Yeah. Cool. Congratulations. I know. Now you don't even need to get married. I mean, just kidding, Brandon. Just kidding. Just kidding. Just kidding. Just kidding. Sarah wants that paper. That would really hurt his feelings. I do want that paper. I don't want it. Yeah. Just in case you decide to be cray. Yeah. Can we talk about fall for just one second? Yeah. Yes. How do you feel about fall flavors? Like pumpkin spice lattes and things?
I mean, can we like basic bitch? Yeah. I guess. I don't like, I'm not a huge. I don't. Me either. So I'm trying to think of a fall flavor that I like and it's Halloween candy and that's it. And they don't make Halloween candy flavored anything unless maybe they make, they should make a Halloween candy flavored blizzard. Oh, interesting. I mean, isn't that just like Reese's peanut butter cups or like a Snickers or whatever? Like I mean, don't they already make those?
Yeah. But like they should do. I need to understand what you mean by Halloween candy flavor because that's what I'm saying. It's probably just already having Halloween candy. My Halloween candy favorite is those, um, which I wouldn't want a blizzard like this. It's disgusting. Sounds those. I really like those, um, lollipops that are like green apple that have the caramel on top, but you can never, you know, I'm talking about, they're so good at disgusting. I hate green apple flavor.
I really don't like apple flavor. Anything. I like the green apple with that caramel. I can't believe you don't like that. It's like candy apples. Oh, they're so good. Those little lollipop things. No, I didn't eat like funnel cake flavor or something, but I only like those cause for Halloween I just said that because I can never find them. Yeah. And like I think one year they like sold out on walmart.com and I was like WTF mate, but I don't remember that. I always say WTF mate.
You never saw that thing was like the Australia. It was like, Oh, I'll find it. Okay. Hold on. Anyways, so it's the thing. If you guys don't know what WTF mate came from, it's or where I got it from, it's from, it's like this thing called the end of the world on YouTube and Google it. Just not just YouTube it the end of the world. It's also kind of fairly accurate. It is really. I guess about like nukes and like everybody having nukes and then like Australia's just like WTF mate.
When they're like nuking each other. It's actually, it's from 15 years ago and you'll enjoy it. It's really kind of dumb, but you know, I want to know what your favorite fall fashion trend is. Like what do you, we talked about like what you look forward to most about fall, but like clothing wise or accessory wise, whatever. What do you look forward to the most? What I look forward to the least is boots because my legs don't fit in boots. Wide calf boot problems. Yes. I have issues and same sees.
And I'm going to have to borrow your boots that are size too big. Yeah. You let me, you gave me, you like left some here one time you were like here. And then I had them for like a whole, like six months or something. Not really, but like a couple of months. And I was like, I'm your boots. I have your boots. I have your boots back because I can't wear them and I'll like never wear them. But like I used to wear, I like one time in my life was able to wear boots that fit around my calves.
And so can I give you, give wide calf girly recommendations? Yes. Lane Bryant and Torrid. I have never found any that I liked. Torrid has a bunch right now. You should go check it out. Okay. I almost bought some today. My calves are very wide. Mine are too. They have extra wide calf. Yeah. And a lot of times, yeah, just, I got the, I got, I don't know. It's not good. So it's not, not good. And then I also, I feel like sometimes I put them on and they don't look right. Like they, it looks worse.
Like I feel like it's not flattering for me. You like an ankle boot. But I sometimes, I don't really like an ankle boot. I like an ankle. I like a, like a booty booty, like a booty, not an ankle boot necessarily. Sometimes the ankle boot makes my legs look shorter than they are because they are very short. So yeah, yes, essentially. I like, I would rather wear, I would, I want to be able to wear like knee high boots. Yeah. But they don't, they don't, it's not, it's not for me.
Okay. Well, I need you to help me. Yeah. I can do that for sure. So what is your favorite thing that you like to wear? In the fall? Yeah. I have no idea. Like I wear the same thing. Tell me one of two things, a puffy vest or a shacket, like a flannel. Okay. I do like the shacket. I think that I, my mom even is like, what is that jacket that you're wearing? I love them. They're so comfortable, but I do look like, like a lumberjack. Yeah. In a paper bag.
Yeah. And it's like, it does not very flattering. I literally don't fucking care. I will put on like a body suit with some jeans and wear that shacket all day long. And I do not give a shit. I do. I still, I still, yeah. Absolutely not. I mean, I do think it's very comfortable, but then I have this, I have my mom in my head talking to me, you know, and it's honestly annoying. Yeah. So yeah. Do you have an FNK for us? So let's see, I will do vibrant fall foliage, bonfires and allergies.
Wait, what? Vibrant fall foliage. Bonfires and allergies. Did Brandon come up with these? I do not know. Okay. I feel like he did because that first one, like, I don't know. He seems like he would have a descriptive vibrant fall foliage is such an interesting term. I'm going to, wait, what was it? Campfires was the next one or bonfires and allergies. Okay. We'll kill the allergies. Of course. Like that is like, so this is an easy one. That's why I laugh.
But fuck the, fuck the foliage because that's dumb. Who cares about that? How dare you knock my leaf peeping. I'm going to marry the bonfires. Except for the next morning when your hair still smells like. Well, no, that does suck. Yeah. I hate that part, but you just take a shower. Yeah. I spray some 47 times. Spray some, um, dry shampoo in there and make it smell like roses. Well, I am going to marry the vibrant fall foliage. Fuck the bonfire and kill the allergies.
Well, it does sounds like you never done a day of yard work in your life. I know it's not true, but it sounds like it. When my parents were married, we used to fill up. Remember those orange bags, garbage bags that had the pumpkin face on them? Oh my God. Those are cute. Yeah. I didn't know. My parents were two-toothed to buy those. Oh my gosh. Okay. I'll do another one. Cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, and cold mornings.
Okay. Well, I will just say that fall in Alabama, you don't wear cozy sweaters. Okay. So let's just say it's like cold fall. Okay. So what are the options? It's New York. Sweaters, cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, and cold mornings. Kill the pumpkin spice lattes. Absolutely. Marry the cold mornings and fuck the sweater. Couldn't agree more. Yeah. I mean, this morning when I got up and it was like 70 degrees. It was like 65 this morning. It was beautiful. Oh, was it? And I was like, ah.
Yeah. And like my air conditioner hadn't been running all night. Yeah. And it was, well, listen, actually when I got up, I looked at my nest because I was cold in the bed and I'm not normally, normally in the morning I'm like, it's so hot. So I was like, why is it so cold? I got in the nest of my bed so I didn't have to get up and change the thermostat. And I was like- It's the greatest thing ever. I looked at it. Well, it tells me the outside temperature and it said it was 30 degrees.
And I was like, whoa. I was like, whoa. I was like, what? And so I was like, I like refreshed it and it was not, it was like 60 something, but I was like, holy moly. That's crazy. So I know. I usually sleep with my air on 67 at night and I've had to bump it up to 69 because I was getting cold and we haven't put our like winter, like down comforter on there yet. Yeah, no, I get hot. Like even in the winter, I probably won't even like add another blanket.
I try to not turn my heat on in the winter. Oh, I don't know. I try not to too. Usually I have the air conditioner on. Well, but that's what we were talking about this earlier today about I was asking my neighbor what her power bill is and my power bill from this past month was like $85. Mine is over 130. And the one before that was like probably maybe 90 something. I did have one this year that was like over a hundred. It was just one.
Well, mine has increasingly gone up because I leave the porch door open for my dog all damn day. Oh yeah. That is not a good idea. I mean not all day, but like, yes, I know. 100%. Well, you should turn like your AC up if you do that. I turn it up to 75 during the day. Oh my God. I wouldn't die. Yeah. Nope. I don't think I've turned it up to 75 unless I left the house. And I don't even like my mom.
Oh my God. My mom came back here when we were at the beach and they were coming back for my cat was here and they had the dogs. They checked on my cat and they left. Well, thank God Catherine actually Catherine didn't do anything about it, but thank God Catherine was checking on my cat. My neighbor Catherine, she, because I come home and my mom has gone to my thermostat has turned it up to like 85 degrees in here. And I was like, what if my cat died?
Yeah. Cause you were going to be gone for another four days. Yes. You had been gone for two weeks. What the fuck difference is four days? It's not. Yeah. And I was like, are you kidding me? And I, I didn't check it cause I just assumed that it was on the temperature that I had set it on and she had turned it up and I got home and I was like, why is it so hot in here?
And I went over there and I was like, and this was when it was like a hundred and something degrees and I was like, are you kidding me? She's like your cat will be fine. I was like, no, do not do that ever again. I know you're trying to be helpful, but like, no, don't be helpful. Don't be. Well, and that's what normally like have you, I remember when I was younger, I would go to my friend's house and her parents would always be like, you know, people would be like, they would try to be helpful.
But sometimes when you're trying to be helpful, you're not being helpful. Cause you're like getting in the way. So just don't be helpful is being helpful. And I always remembered that. And sometimes that's true. Sometimes it's not sometimes like if you need help, you can, I can be like, Sarah, come help me. Like sometimes it's just like, go sit over there and I'll do this. Yeah. Like around like, especially like holidays and where there's like a lot of cooking going on and stuff like that.
Like I always ask my step mom, you know, do you need help with anything? And she's really good about saying, yes, you can do this, whatever. If not, then I'm staying out of her way. Exactly. And my mom, my mom needs me to be out of the way, but she likes company when she's doing stuff. She likes to have, so my dad's like, go help your mother. And I'm like, okay. So I go sit in the kitchen and just like sit there, you know, like, and drink my drink, which is my whole life, but it's nice.
Like I love it. And I still, and she'll be like, I need you to do this. And you know, randomly I'll like go stir the pot or something, you know, stir the pot real quick so it doesn't burn. I'll go for her or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, so that's good. But okay. So today we're going to talk about brand loyalty. And I mean, it speaks for itself. I don't really know how to explain that being a brand whore. Yes. Well, brand whore or not brand whore.
Yeah. Yeah. And I do, I have my loyal, my loyalties to certain brands, but I also venture out. Tell me, tell me something that you start. Tell me like, and I like your favorite brand that you like will not venture away from. Are we talking about clothing? Anything ever. Like if you have like Charmin toilet paper. Okay. You always do Charmin. Yes. I was doing the red brand, the red version of it. And then Lisa told me the other day that it doesn't break down in your like toilet very well.
So she told me to change to the blue. So I changed to the blue, but I haven't put a role on yet. So I'll have to report back on that. So what does that do like help your toilet, like your plumbing or something? Yes. Yep. So why would you change? I don't understand the difference. The blue is easier to break down, I guess. I don't know. That's just what she said. So I decided I would try it. And you haven't used it yet. No, I haven't. Okay. So you need to report back. I will.
And then I also am a brand whore about mayonnaise. It has to be Dukes or Hellmann's. We've discussed this before, I think. Yeah. I don't really eat ketchup, but like I want Heinz ketchup. Okay, so ketchup and I don't know which one I like best. I think it's Heinz. I think we talked about this before as well. But my mom likes a certain brand of ketchup. And I think it's the one that I don't like because it is. The Hunts? Yeah, I think it's Hunts that she like.
I can't remember, but it doesn't taste right. It tastes like weird. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, there's ketchups and I don't like ketchup necessarily. I like it on certain things, but like. I've also recently become a brand whore about my marinara sauce as we've been making pizzas at home a lot. And I really like the regular marinara by Mozzetta. Okay. It's real good. Okay. I would eat it with a spoon. Okay, I got you. I have brands that aren't necessarily food.
I do have certain food brands like the Sriracha. Okay, by the way, Sriracha, you know, there's been this shortage or whatever. The regular, like the Sriracha that you're supposed to get, like the Asian looking one that is on the shortage. That one is the good one. All others suck. I got Tabasco Sriracha sucks. I got like all these Sriracha sucks. And I've had like all these Sriracha and they're not good. They're like sweet or something. I don't know what it is. I completely agree with you.
It's not right. Yeah, so that's a big thing, but I can't even buy it because it costs like $50 on Walmart. Oh, I know. It's insane right now. So that's one, but that's not even I don't know. I just thought about that. So for instance, like I have bras and my bras fit me. Like I do. I have I ventured out to skims, but those are not like bras. Those aren't like the class, the bras that I wear. They're like more like, uh, what do you call them? Bra let's bra let's or like sports bra type things.
Bra let's type things that I wear and I love them. I love the skims bras, certain ones. And I will wear them till the end of the day or till the end of time is what I mean. But way coal or walk hole. I don't know how you say it. W a C O A L is where I get my bras from. They are ugly AF. They look like, like, look at this bra. Don't look at my belly. Look at this bra. It is so comfortable. Is it lined at all? Yeah, it's got a lining on the inside. Oh, no, it doesn't have like a thick lining.
See, I love an unlined bra. It's unlined and it is so comfortable and it's the best and it fits me right. You need to tell me about you send me the links. They're a hundred dollars a piece though. Like yeah, I'll send you that. Like this one. I don't I got this from I get them when they're I don't know. I'm when it comes to clothes for the most part, I'm brand loyal to toward and to Lane Bryant, including bras and panties. Yeah, see, I'm not. I like it.
I know it fits like every almost every single pair of yoga pants that I have are like Bryant because they just fit me well. And I know I the sizing is consistency or consistent. I don't have to worry about it. I can just pick one out and order it and I'm good. I agree. So I think that that's a reason that people are brand are brand loyal. Yes. And and I agree. So like, for instance, Lululemon. So I have actually since then ventured out because I had our loyal customer.
I mean, listener, our loyal listener, Elizabeth. She got me on these dupe Lululemon leggings for like thirty five dollars on Amazon. I like them better. Oh, really? Wash better. Yeah. I mean, OK, I don't like to sleep in that. Like I won't like if I sleep in pants and leggings sometimes. Yeah. If I go on a trip or something, I'll sleep in leggings or if I go somewhere. Yeah, I don't know, because they're comfortable and I don't want to like look like I don't.
I don't like my butt to be in the air. I don't want to take off my clothes and I will kick the covers off of me and my naked butt will be in the air. I don't want to get to match and jammy sets. I do have those and I don't like them as much. Oh, my God. Yeah. All I sleep in. So that's only if I like go out of town and I don't sleep in leggings when I'm at home or whatever. So anyways, Lou Lemon just depends most like I'm wearing. These are Lou Lou Lemon that I have on right now.
They're very comfortable. They're not my favorite ones, but like they're more expensive and I can get five pairs or four pair three, six, nine, twelve because it's one hundred and twenty dollars per pair of leggings like four pairs. Yeah. Yeah. Of the cheap ones. And they actually they wash better. What do you mean by that? They don't like pill as easily. Oh, yeah. They they haven't peeled as much. I've probably had these leggings that I have on for five years. I've had these for a while.
I mean, all the leggings I have. I've had a long time. Yeah. But so leggings. I'm a brand whore essentially, but it used to be only Lou Lou Lemon. Now I do these two brands. I need you to also tell the story about the t-shirts that you got the last time that I was here because not necessarily brand loyal. I'm wearing one right now. Yeah, but please tell the audience. It's not. Yeah. So it's not necessarily brand loyal.
It's if I find something, if I find something that I like, I will go and I'll buy like ten of them. So how many? So a long time ago we had beer Olympics. I don't know. I think we talked about this. We had beer Olympics and we had to dress up as the country. Yes. So I went to Target and I bought a plain black t-shirt. I bought two of them because I was afraid I was going to mess up. They were five dollars, but two, I think are eight dollars, two black t-shirts.
I was afraid and a bunch of paint fabric paint. Oh yeah. And I painted the Bahamas flag on it. So I did that and I kept the other feature and I was like, this t-shirt is amazing. I love it so much. And so that was a long time ago and I've been like loving that t-shirt and I was like, I need to go back and get some more. I was at Target the other day and I went by and they had the t-shirts. I got two different sizes.
I got an extra large and a large because this is a large I think that I have one. And I wanted like, I don't know, sometimes I like it loosey goosey, sometimes I don't. And so I get those shirts and then I'm looking at the other colors and I was like, maybe I should venture out. I was channeling my inner Sarah and I was looking at the other colors and I picked up one and it was like this green color. It's like bright green color. It's like a little green.
Yeah. Yeah. And it was a V neck actually. And I was like, oh, and I looked at the tag and it was on clearance for $3. Well then I was like, hold on a second. Then I picked up another one and the other clearance tag said like a $1.80 or like a dollar something, like a dollar something. And I was like, whoa. And so I got like, how many did I count? Like nine? Like six of them. I think it was like nine, seven. We'll just say seven. It's in the middle.
I got like seven of these shirts and then I got the two black ones and I still haven't worn, the first day I put on one of the t-shirts and like within like the first like hour, I got crap all over it because the dogs like did something to me. Like they like got in the mud or something and I was like, I'll just take it off and put it in the thing, put on another one and nobody will know the difference. Yeah, that's so fair. But like, I mean, they were like $2. I do that though.
Like if I find something that I really like, I'll buy it in multiple colors if I like it. So I completely understand that. I may not buy seven of them, but at a $1.80, completely worth it. Right. The $1.80 thing. Well, so I do this for other stuff as well. So like if I find something I like, like a dress or something, they're probably not going to make it ever again. And I get holes in my stuff a lot and a lot of stuff that I buy is not like super expensive.
I usually am buying, I mean, I buy some expensive, not like super crazy expensive, but like I'm not going to go get it repaired for like a $20, $45 dress or something like that. So I just, I'll buy multiples and keep them in my closet with a tag on it until it's, you know, I need a new one. And I'm like, okay, good. Now I have this dress again. I wish I had done that with so many things in the past and I never did it.
And I'm like hating myself for it because I'm like, oh, my favorite dress is ruined because my cat jumped in my lap and his nails were too long and like put a hole in it. You know, that makes me so upset. Yeah. I completely agree with that.
I mean, there is nothing wrong with having more than, like, if I find like, especially sweatshirts like tops and stuff, just like your t-shirts, I have multiple, I had three different colors in this one sweatshirt that I got from Walmart one time and it was the greatest thing by the way, brand loyalty. So not like a huge Walmart fan.
I do have Walmart plus and I get grocery delivery, but I usually get like paper plates and paper towels and toilet paper and like frozen stuff, you know, frozen veggies and stuff from there. However, Brandon made me go in there with him the other night because he had to get a lock for his storage unit. He's going to put like his mattress, you know, box spring and bed frame in there or whatever.
And so we went in there and I was like, I just want to look through the clothes stuff because we were about to go to that football game and I didn't have anything Kelly green. I should have borrowed a damn t-shirt from you. Shit. What would you do for their for their game? Oh, yeah, I may need one. I may try one on because I'm going again on Saturday. They're kind of short, but yeah, try. Yeah. Okay. But anyway, so we go in there at Walmart. Their clothes game is on fire right now. They are.
I mean, really is. I got to compete. I know I got a like thin sweatshirt from there and like olive green and I got this rust colored long sleeve ribbed dress that has pockets in it. And I got a skirt that I ended up. It's like a, you know, satin skirt or whatever. That's like knee length and has like a little slit in it. That was like olive green and black leopard. And I think I got one other top. Everything was less than $15. Yeah. And it is so freaking cute. Yeah. So cute.
Like I have to brag on them for a second because that was a good little haul that I got at Walmart. Yeah, I agree with that. Yeah. I'm trying to think of some other brands that, that I am loyal to. Chewy, which sometimes I do. I venture out. Chewy is not necessarily a brand, but they're a company that I. Oh, Hollywood Feed is mine. You go to Hollywood Feed? Ew, gross. Why? I do like them, but Chewy, I, they have the best customer service I have ever had with anywhere.
I have heard of other places like your dog died and like they accidentally sent you or they sent you your dog food after your dog died. Like it was an auto ship or something. And then they realized your dog died and they like send you like a flowers in the mail. Like, I mean, I've just heard these stories about Chewy and they've always been so good to me. I can't get my dog food from there. I used to be able to, and I did use Chewy because I liked the shipping part of it.
But Hollywood Feed will do like either 5.95 or at a certain dollar amount free same day delivery to your house. I didn't know that. Oh, hell yeah. So are you getting it from the one that's over here? No, I'm getting it from the one by my house. There's one on the branch. Yeah. So I, I do that all the time.
There are very few times where I will actually go to Hollywood Feed because I just, I, because I'm usually when I'm buying dog food, I'm buying a big bag for my house and then a smaller bag for my parents' house. And so- What kind do you buy? From. From? I don't know what that is. You need to tell me what that is. Yeah, I can. Yeah. I mean, that's what I used for Greta, you know, the last probably four or five years for her. Is it expensive? Um, I mean, it's like 50 bucks for a 30, 33 pound bag.
Oh, that's good. So my bag, I think it's like 10 pounds. No, it might be like 17 pounds and it's like $85 for this, but it's prescription weight loss or it's like it's Hill's science. I think Hill's science diet or whatever it is. Um, for Rosie, I started getting it several years ago when she was overweight and needed to lose weight. And I wish that somebody, it was like, it's like NutriSystem for Rosie.
Um, but it, like my dad was like, they told me that I could feed it to Cricket if she wanted it or whatever. And my other dogs, if I had it, I didn't have another dog at the time, but I was, they were like, my dad was like, you need to give this to Cricket. She loves it so much. It smells terrible. It's the most stinkiest dog food you've ever had, but I buy it from there. But Chewy, like I just, I like them a lot.
I hate to buy my food, my dog food from like the vet or anywhere else because I, I don't know what it is. If you have good customer service and you have like good people working for you and I don't know a lot about them, but like, and I haven't done a lot of research on them. I like Hollywood feed. They have a rewards program. So every 12th bag, you get a credit for basically a full bag. Like if I bought 12, 33 pound bags, my 13th one is free.
And then, um, they also will do like price matching or whatever. So most of the time when I get on there, it's the same consistent price. I think it's like 48.95 or something is that 33 pound bag. But after you order, if they have some sort of promo going on in the store or whatever, they will credit you that difference and the tax for it or whatever. Just automatically. You don't have to enter a promo code or anything like that.
I mean, 99% of the time what that price is, is not what I actually end up paying for it. Okay. Yeah. Cool. I highly recommend. I've been there several, like, so when I got my cat, Bertie, I like found him in the middle of the somebody's apartment complex one day. So the next day I was like, where's the closest pet store? I went over to Hollywood feed and they were so nice helping. I was like, I've never had a cat before. I don't know what to do.
Like I'm keeping this cat or I'm going to have this cat for a minute. And they helped me pick out all the stuff. The guy was like super nice. I think that they were, and they were like, yeah, if you ever need to just let us know if you want to, you know, come back and you need help or whatever. I thought that they were good. So yeah. I mean, I like them a whole lot. They got a lot of stuff in there. I also got, uh, they carry, which I'm, you can get it on Amazon too.
And I think, um, I can't remember the name of the brand. Um, can't remember, but anyways, the, um, doggy, like not CBD choose, but calming choose or whatever. Um, that I used to give Greta for like thunderstorms and stuff. And they recommended those to me and they have been the greatest thing ever. Cause I'll give them to Jolene every now and again, if I know that like, we're going to be gone for a while or whatever, just so she can like rest easy while we're not there. But I highly recommend.
So another thing that, so I would say normally that I have brand loyalty to Coca-Cola. Hell yeah. But Pepsi makes Mountain Dew, don't they? Yep. Sure do. I drink Mountain Dew and I haven't had it in, it's been two weeks. No way. Are you trying to come off it? No, I just like figured I'm, I'm not trying to come off of it. I am a little bit addicted. I've noticed because in the morning I'm like, I'm going to go to the gas station and get one.
And I'm like, no, I'm not going to, I'm just like trying not to drink as much caffeine. Yeah. Um, that's ridiculous. Yeah. In the morning I'm like, but I've gotten better about like noon if I haven't had caffeine. Yeah. I can, I can tell you every day. It's not good. But yeah, so, yeah, so I nor, so if I, if you ever hear me say, Ooh, Pepsi is disgusting. It's because I legit think Pepsi is disgusting. Like Pepsi, Pepsi, Pepsi.
Whenever anyone asks you, I think we did talk about this at one point, but whenever when it's, is Pepsi okay? No, it's not. Hell no. Well, if you have to ask that question, you know the answer. Yeah, no, Pepsi is not okay. Coke only. And if it's Pepsi, then I'll drink a Mountain Dew diet only diet. But a lot of times they don't have diet Coke diet Mountain Dew. So yeah, that's another one. So I don't know what else we're loyal to. Amazon. Oh, Amazon. Apple, Apple. Yes. Apple and Amazon.
Well, sort of Apple. So I did, I do have a Mac book, but I am not a huge fan of it. To be honest, Apple iPhones, watches and things like that. I'm good with the Mac book. I've never had a Mac book. I'm not as huge of an Apple. I feel like that's breaking my brand loyalty. Well, and that's, that's, it's, yeah. I sound like a boomer now, but I wouldn't know. Oh, you don't know how to use a Mac book. Yeah. Well, essentially I'm trying to think of anything. What else are we loyal to?
Colgate toothpaste. Same. You go. I'm glad you use Colgate. Okay. And I think that came, that was like passed down from my parents, but okay. I agree. Listen to this. So earlier, I think it was the last episode we talked about how people get a lot of rate or reviews for stuff like you are how I always say that you need to have a lot of reviews or to order something from Amazon.
Well, my parents have recently been getting like a shipment every Friday or Saturday of a three pack of crest whitening or I don't know what type of toothpaste it is, some type of toothpaste. They have stockpiled toothpaste and it has my brother, my older brother who doesn't live there anymore. He hasn't lived there in a very long time. He's married, like has three kids or about to have three kids. They're about to have, you know, they're about to have another baby.
Oh, we haven't announced that on here yet. I thought we did. Yeah. She's pregnant. Robin's pregnant with another baby. Congrats. So they know what they're having. I don't think so, but I'm thinking it might be a girl. So anyway, but so his name is on it. And my mom was like, did you order this stuff? Like did you accidentally, he checked his account. He hasn't been charged for it or anything.
So people were thinking that it's like one of these things where people are trying the people that own the company or whatever, whatever they're trying to sell, they're trying to get reviews. And so they send it to somebody random's house and they just like send it so that they can go in with a different email or whatever it is and get the review and use that review to make a good review. Cause you can't put a review unless you actually order it.
And so that, that small costs of purchasing it, I think this is Googling. I don't know if this is true, but my parents, I've gotten toothpaste from them. So I've been using some Crest toothpaste. So, but, and it's not as good. I'm brand, like if I'm going to buy it, it's going to be Colgate. I agree. Unless it's like maybe, but I do like Crest white strips. I will, I will venture out for those occasionally, but the Colgate is what's up for the toothpaste. Um, yeah.
So I'm also brand loyal as far as wine goes. Like of course I will, you know, buy random bottles at like Trader Joe's or whatever, but I'm, if I had my pick and you know, with the way that we drink sometimes could infinite li afford it. I would only buy may only Pinot noir. Oh yeah. I know me too. I can't afford that.
No, I, that that's, you know, I have, I'm not brand loyal to wine because I'm always looking for the cheapest thing that or something that's on sale or something that's going to be the best for the cheapest. And I also am like that with most everything. Cause that's what I do for my job. But like, yeah, also I don't think that we should have to spend like a million dollars for something that can be just the same as whatever, you know, Joe blow over here is making too.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm, I'm, I have a lot of brand law. Oh, Chevrolet. My family is kind of brand loyal to that, but only because we have like, I mean, we all have Chevrolet's except for my mom, but she, she did buy, she has a Nissan, but it came from the Chevrolet dealership that owns the Nissan dealership right next door. My mom is loyal to Chevrolet too. We're loyal to Lynn Layton indicator is, is what we're really loyal to, but it's, we have Chevrolet.
My mom is loyal to Mort Bacchus and sons. What is that? Is that the dealership? Mort two, what? Mort Bacchus. That sounds like, that sounds like a law firm or like an accounting firm or something. Mort Bacchus and sons. I don't know. I feel like I'm loyal to Ford now. Are you? Yeah. I've had two escapes and I really liked them a lot. Did your dad have Fords? He has his diesel truck as a Ford. Yeah. He's got an F-150. I've never had a Ford. I have had a Volkswagen and I do like Volkswagen.
My sister had a Passat too. She liked it. Yeah. I love, I love Volkswagen, but, um, oh man, brand loyalty, like Amazon. I don't even know if that's a, that's not a brand. And then you have people like Brandon who literally doesn't give a shit about brands at all. I sent him to the store one time with a list and I even wrote like red Charmin on there for toilet paper. He came back with like the fake red Charmin and I was like, what is this?
Yeah. And even like as far as cars go, he was like, I just wanted a car that was like black on black and it was manual. So that's why he drives car he drives because he doesn't give a shit. Well, okay. If I didn't have a personal connection to a Chevrolet dealership and think that he is the most amazing person, love his family, things like that. And I didn't like want to support them locally.
Then I might would, I would potentially, and like maybe my, also my whole family like didn't have a Chevrolet and like my dad didn't like say you need to get the Chevrolet. And he didn't like advertise for them for his entire life. I or for my entire life at least I would probably go with whatever the cheapest was, but like also that's like a decision fatigue thing for me from last episode. It was like car that I got, I ordered online. Oh my God. See, no, I can't do that.
I mean, my dad like helped me pick it out or whatever, but like, yes, I ordered it to your house. I got them in the Walmart parking lot at like 6 a.m. with Melanie one day. That's sketchy. I mean, it was on a tractor trailer. He just popped it off. How do you do that? Like with the money, like don't you have to like go into the office and like them run your credit and like all that stuff? No, we did it all over the phone and I sent them a cashier's check for a down payment from Vroom.
They're like Carvana. Oh, okay. Yeah. I thought that was like a rental company. Interesting. Yeah. So they, I mean, delivered it to me. The only thing that I had an issue with is they didn't sign the lien release. And so I ended up having to like call them back and they had to fax it over to like Shelby County or whatever. And then I could get my tag taken care of. But yeah. Well, yeah. Okay. That sounds like a very Sarah thing to do. Oh yeah. Online only.
I would be like taking my whole family up there with me. Usually I'll be like, dad, I don't know what I'm doing. Please come with me kind of thing. Like, yeah. And he'd be like, oh, I don't need to come. You got this. And I'd be like, you're just too lazy to come. And I'll be like, just come. And he'd be like, okay. No, I mean, my dad went with me when I bought my first Escape and it was red and I hated the color, but I loved the car.
And I felt like I had to go home with it because we drove all the way to LaGrange, Georgia to get it. And I felt like I couldn't say no. But also my car that I had at the time was a piece of shit. So I needed to get rid of it. Yeah. I've had a lot of situations where the car that I had at the time was not good. Oh yeah. My car was paid off my first Escape.
And the only reason why I got a new one is because my air conditioning broke for like the second time and I wasn't going to mess with it again. It was like March when COVID hit or whatever. When I came home from Cleveland, I had an appointment for the Friday that I came home, Friday or Saturday that I came home to have it serviced at a dealership in Cleveland. And I ended up coming home because of COVID. And so then when it started to get warmer out, I was like, this ain't gon' fly.
So I need to get myself a new car. What'd you do with your old car? I sold it to a friend who like buys and sells used cars. Okay. Yeah. So he gave me cash for it. I just normal. I'm like every time I've either my parents have taken help. My dad has been like, oh, here help me take care of whatever. Or I gave it to them because they owned it like my old Jetta or traded into the dealership. I don't even know like how to- I could have traded it in through Vroom.
Like I could have done that, but I didn't want to. And I reached out to my friend to let him know like what was going on or whatever. Because it was paid off. So I wasn't in a hurry to do anything. You know what I'm saying? Like I owned the car. And so I got my new car. I had two cars at one point. I mean, I wasn't driving the one with no air conditioning, but he came over and looked at it for like 10 seconds and brought cash for me. And cash was cash because it was paid for.
Right. So I didn't care. I feel like if I were going to sell my car, I would have to Google, how do you sell a car? Because I feel like there are rules. Like what do you have to give them? Like are there rules of like the transferring? Yeah. I mean, they have to have the title. Yeah. The title. Yeah. So I paid him for a dollar. And so he could have the title and then he paid me cash. Yeah. I hope I'm not getting myself in trouble by saying that. Oops. Well, just hopefully I'll delete it.
So yeah. Any other? Oh, oh, oh, I do want to say that. So my, my trust, our trusty. Did you get that after Kelly at the beach? No, this is Kelly. Yeah. She has a pink one like that and a walla. Yeah. Oh, does she? Yeah. No, hers is a Stanley. No. Yes. Oh, somebody has one like that because no, Kelly does have one like that or somebody Kelly had a Stanley cause she left it in my car or left it somewhere in the condo and I picked it up and I brought it to her. Snap in that.
So I have this Melanie bought one though, because somebody at the beach had it. So anyways, I have a, a, a walla water bottle, 24, I think it's 24 ounce and yeah, 24 ounce walla water bottle with the full snap top that has like the little straw in it. And you don't have to tip it up to drink it. Right. So, so listen, I was in Decatur and Elizabeth and Daniel show up and they have their water bottles and Elizabeth is like, Emily, this water bottle is so good. It's the best water bottle ever.
I am so, she's like, I'm an influencer right now. I'm an influencer and she gets on Amazon and she's like showing it to me on Amazon and I was like, okay, I'm looking at it. And she's like, look at these colors. Which color do you like? Which color do you like? And then all of a sudden like 10, I like hand her a phone back. I'm like, oh, these are cute. I love that. Like I'll have to look at that.
Like 10 minutes later, she ordered it for me and she's like Daniel and her, we all hugged with like a group hug. She was like, oh, what about it? You're going to be enjoying the family, the family. And I'm like, okay. Well then I forgot about it. Well, I, and, and then Elizabeth probably for, I don't know if she forgot about it. She probably didn't because she's like on top of things. And I like, it had taken a while. It wasn't like two day delivery.
I opened my door and I'm like, there's a package at my front door. And I'm like, what is this? And this was like this past last week, I guess. And I'm like, oh my God, what is this? And I open it up and it's my water bottle and I have used it every day, refilled it ever since. It is amazing. I use my simple water knock off Stanley every day and I love it. I carry that shit with me everywhere. This is so good. I like that it has a little straw on the inside. You can close it.
Like this is the same things Elizabeth said. And it has like the lid that covers it so that like nothing's getting in there. Nobody's nothing's touching your lid. It sort of fits in my cup holder. Don't tell me that. That's the only thing. It doesn't always fit in my cup holder. Like it's like, it's kind of wobbly, but it doesn't spill ever. Like, I might have to invest in one. It's it's the last five minutes of this is you snapping that top. Good. I like it. Let's hear what it says here.
Don't talk. Yeah. I mean, it does make noise. Oh my. Okay. So it's a good water bottle. And so I'm brand loyal to this now because honestly, before I had bought all these water bottles, they spill in my car. Yeah, they. This one doesn't spill. They don't keep water cold. Oh, shit. It's spilling all my carpet. What the hell is in there? I hope it's just water. Okay, good. So but yeah, no, this I love it. And it's small. It's small. And yeah, I might have to get one. Yeah, I really like it a lot.
But but I have said that about other water bottles in the past. And then a month or two later, I'm like, I hate this water bottle. I need a new one. So you're telling me I should wait a month. You should wait a month. Yeah. Give me like a couple more weeks and I'll let you know. But like, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, like this is a good one. I mean, but if you you always have that one. So I don't know. But I need one to bring to New York. How much did that one cost? Thirty bucks. And it's 40 ounces.
It's cheaper than that. So it's probably about the same. Yeah. But mine's this is 24. You can get a bigger one, but like they won't fit in your cup. Exactly. Yeah. But also when you go to the gym or whatever you're doing, if you want to, you can drink out of it two ways. Yeah. There's a straw sipper thing and it's not an actual straw where you have to like pucker. Right. It's like a wide straw thing.
Yeah. And then you can open up and take a big old gulp and it doesn't spill all over your face either. Like every other thing. Yes. Oh my God. I have 100 now gene bottles. They don't keep your water cold. I buy this. I used to buy stoppers to put in there. I have that too. Yeah. The water from like pouring all over your face. Yeah. It doesn't work. Yeah. Those. Yeah. And I love now being bottles because I like they're like concept, whatever. Exactly. I do.
I have like five of them and I love them, but they don't keep it cold. They're the. They're sweating. They sweat. They don't keep it cold. They don't fit in a cup holder. They are bulky. They don't have, well, you can put like a carabiner or carabiner or whatever you call it on it, but like that doesn't necessarily work because you have to open the lid. So those, I don't know. Those are the things that I'm not a huge fan of.
You can put it in the dishwasher, but like if there's like design on the outside, it will come off. Right. And I think that they start smelling on the inside because of plastic and this doesn't smell. So anyway, brand loyal for the next month, at least a walla water bottles. Okay. Oh my gosh. She had to smell it and make sure it didn't stay. It doesn't. You're crazy. All right. Well, thank you for joining us.
