What's up, y'all?
Just needed to let y'all know that in today's excitement in our episode, we definitely went
way too long.
We're figuring that out.
But because of the super long length, we cut the episode up into two.
So part one's gonna be this week, part two's gonna be next.
So make sure to join us so you can follow along and keep up with us.
Also definitely forgot to mention in the beginning of this episode to follow us on Just Take
My Money Podcast with underscores for spacing for the products that we're going to talk
about today and next week.
And for the actual clickable links to these products, you'll want to find those in our
Comey link, which is found in our Instagram, but also you can just go straight to Comey
and search under JustTakeMyMoneyPodcast.Comey.io.
Comey is spelled K-O-M-I.
Also keep in mind, this is a tad bit of an explicit podcast, meaning just more like adult
languages used.
So if you're not all about that, that's totally cool.
But you know, here's your warning.
Howdy, howdy, everybody.
Welcome back.
We're so fucking excited to be back.
As you can see, here and here.
Yes.
Lovely Lauren has finally joined.
Hello, hello.
Lauren, how happy are you to like finally be on air?
I'm excited and also weird to hear my voice.
It's weird.
It's weird to sit down and be like, okay, I'm gonna talk and I'm gonna listen to myself.
And this is normal.
This is so normal.
At least you're here so that I can talk to you instead of just talking to this mic.
Okay, yeah.
So that's one thing that I've been attempting to implement, like a far away recording system.
But to do that would definitely have to be over video because-
1000% over Skype.
I don't think I could just do it.
I would make funny faces and do weird things to the mic or something.
But then at the same time, we've had phone conversations where we're just as weird.
So like-
That's true.
I guess it's doable, but it's more fun to see the person's reaction.
Yeah.
Yeah, it makes it a lot more fun.
Yeah, right?
Yeah.
To recap for everybody, so for now on, it's gonna be me and Lauren.
And let me tell you, it's gonna be a hell of a fucking time because neither of us have
a filter-
No.
Of what little filter we do have.
And we align very well with the things that we like.
We egg each other on to do these things and buy these things.
Yeah, we're cheerleaders for one another, which sometimes is not the greatest at all.
Yeah, because then we end up almost falling for a scented scam.
So we'll have to get into that.
We'll have to explain the story because I know your memory is better than mine.
Yeah.
And-
Because I experienced it?
Yeah, you experienced it and I was just on the other phone end of like, don't buy it,
don't buy it.
And I'm like, no!
Almost sold my soul to the devil.
They tried to convince you, you did.
Yeah, they did.
They did.
Yeah.
And then a couple weeks later, I received an email that listed my bill sort of thing
and then my credit score.
And they were-
Was it a fake credit score?
Yeah, it wasn't my real credit score.
Oh my god, thank god.
I'm like-
Automatically panicked, checked my credit score, called my husband, was like, oh my
god, I'm fucked up.
Oh my god, I'm fucked up.
And he's like, no, it's a scam.
Don't believe it.
It's not your real credit score.
So he's like, not unless they send us a bill, are we responsible for anything?
And I never got a bill because I didn't sell my soul to the devil.
Thought I did.
Okay, but I gotta know, is the credit score they gave you better or worse than what you
had?
It was worse.
Okay, how dare they?
I was gonna say, I mean, if they boosted it up, I would have been like, very nice of them.
Thank you.
Like, appreciate it.
Like, aww, thanks.
Like, thank you for believing in me.
Yeah, no.
Instead, they're like, bitch, this is your credit score, this is how bad you need good
sense in your life.
Yeah, like, you suck.
Um, you need this in your life.
So then at that point, it's like, how is that convincing to somebody?
I don't know, I went to panic.
Okay, let's be more concerned of the fact that this was a, this is a scented product.
It is a diffuser, a scent diffuser.
Yeah, and it like directly, the item, the product that they were selling me was one
of the products that directly connected into your HVAC system.
Oh, the big boy.
The big boy.
Okay, so it was a Mother's Day special that was going on.
Well, then you did not tell me you tried to upgrade yours.
I didn't try to upgrade.
This man was like, this is what you get because it's Mother's Day.
So this is what you get.
You get the big mama, mama jam on whatever the heck it was.
And I was like, what?
I get what?
And he was like, yeah, because it's a Mother's Day sale.
So you'll get this one, it connects to your HVAC system.
Like I was like, that's amazing.
He's like, it's free.
And I was like, free?
And he's like, yeah, because it's Mother's Day.
He's like, you just have to pay for the scented oils.
And I was like, what?
I was like, no way.
So like he explained it to me that the scented oils and how the scented oils work and how
much you get and how many bottles and how often they ship and they ship like quarterly,
you get so many bottles, the bottles last you XYZ, you get this many scents.
And I just kept asking more questions, which I'm sure he was like, ask all the questions.
I'm going to get this girl hook line and sinker.
Literally the words I was thinking.
Reeling me in.
So I asked him about a million, a jillion questions.
And then we got to pricing and he was like, yeah, it's going to be like $2.86.
And I was like, hold up, bitch, please.
I was like $2.86.
And he was like, yeah.
And I said $2.86 a month.
And he was like, yeah, $2.86.
How does that make any sense a month?
And then I was like, wait, for the year annually or is it $2.86 a month?
And he was like, no, you just paid $2.86.
And I was like, which, but for the year or for the month?
He didn't even want to tell you.
No, he didn't.
Because I was like, that doesn't make sense.
I was like, you're giving me this diffuser for quote unquote, free, air quotes, listeners.
And the oils are like $180 a bottle.
Which does not make sense because we saw photos of their fucking oils.
There was nothing special about them.
They were just diffuser oils.
Yeah.
But the bottle that he was trying to get me to do in this packaged deal was like the big
bottles that they send to like the hotels that use them.
To a woman who just wanted it for her house.
Yeah.
And I told him what like the square footage of my house.
And he was like, all these bottles will last you.
And then if you need to like cancel the bottles for like one month, you can cancel because
they only ship quarterly because it costs them so much to ship.
But then when he told me $2.89, I was like, but wait, you told me each bottle was like
$180.
Yeah.
How I said, that's not math-ing.
Yeah.
The math-ing, math-ing my bro.
No.
And like I literally laid everything out to him.
And then I was like, so you're trying to tell me I get XYZ for $2.89.
And I said, and this is annually or monthly?
There was a long pause.
And then he said monthly.
And I was like, oh no, I can't swing that.
He knew.
He knew that was going to be the deal breaker.
Yeah.
He sent me like the bill.
And my soul left my body.
And I was like, wait, I don't remember what his name was.
I wish I had, but I was like, let's call him Jimothy.
I was going to say Jonathan.
Excuse me, Jonathan.
You just sent me this ridiculous number.
You said it was going to cost me $2.89.
And he was like, yeah, a month.
I said, mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
My husband will leave me.
I don't.
Mm-mm.
No.
My husband, it's not worth losing my husband over and sent it home.
No.
I'm not wrong.
I love delicious smells.
Yeah.
But I also love my husband.
And I can't go through the dating again.
But Lauren, you'd have a wonderful smelling home every single day.
Because that's what guys care about.
It's how good my house smells.
This scent is called the marry me smell.
Yes.
Oh my gosh.
This is called, um, she broke.
She spent it all on these oils.
This one's called crazy bitch because that's who I am now.
This is who I've become.
I was breaking it down.
I was like, that's how much of my car payment this is.
That is what this costs.
I was like, no, sir.
Mm-mm.
I'll buy a candle.
I was like, can I get your name and number and I'll call you back.
So what makes me laugh is that whole combo happens with you.
You text me and you're like, don't fucking do it.
Yeah.
So we had the battle of submitting a scent survey because that's what led you down this
whole stupid road.
Thousand percent.
It was the fact that we found this website.
We see that there's a scent survey and we're both like, was it TikTok?
Did TikTok make us do it?
I think TikTok made us do it.
Okay.
But the lady- Oh my God.
Yes.
No.
I remember now.
I remember.
She had that big ass bougie house.
Yeah.
All right.
She had that- Friend, we should have known right away that we were not worthy.
That was a problem.
Why?
Because we do that to ourselves.
Because we were doing some training and some building that just smelled so wonderful.
It smelled fucking amazing.
And all we found was this mysterious little black box that we didn't know what the fuck
that did.
Yeah.
Actually to this day, we don't actually know that was what it was.
It was.
Was it?
Yes.
Because I saw all the pictures online.
Why was it on the floor though?
It probably should have been in like- Because it was one of the other models.
Yeah.
Cheap bitches, right?
Yeah.
But yeah, so they had that shit or they had an off brand.
Who fucking knows?
But then that TikTok came up of that bougie woman in Texas who had that big ass house.
She had like four, remember?
Yes.
Because she went through, I watched the whole video and watched her refill all of them.
And I was like, oh, yes, please.
I can do this.
They were like all hooked up to her HVAC and everything.
And then you and I find the website and they had small diffusers.
Yeah.
Now, and I wasn't even seeing anything about, oh, it's free.
I just thought I'm willing to buy this for my living room.
Yeah.
So willing.
And so you took the lead.
I took a little longer.
I took the sample pack.
I tried to get the sample pack to see since and that's where it all-
Yeah.
How the hell does it lead down that way?
Note to self listeners, if something's like, hey, get the sample pack to figure out what
you like and the sample pack involves getting a phone call from somebody.
Don't do it.
Don't answer.
Never answer.
They'll keep calling you.
Oh my God.
They kept calling me for months.
It was so long.
And I was terrified to pick up the phone.
One day you yelled at me over Teams and you're like, pick up the phone.
And I said no, because then they'll know they have me.
But they stopped calling me after I went through the panic and the 30, 45 minute call that
I went on with that man.
Mind you, it was at a new job that I had just started and they called and I was like, oh,
this won't take long.
45 minutes of standing in the hallway and then a 15 minute panic attack thinking that
I just sold my soul.
I worked late that day to make up that hour.
Both of us were at new jobs.
And I don't know how nobody walked by either of us going, who the fuck are these new people?
And does it sound like they're happily-
How does she think she's so special that she can just go out in the hallway and take a
personal call?
I'm over there like still on my computer filling out the survey.
Like I should have been doing other things.
That makes me laugh so hard.
Oh my God, our adventures.
Oh my goodness.
So yeah, that was a learning lesson for the both of us.
Yeah, don't do it.
But that also taught us that we can influence each other on anything.
Yeah, we're
Hey, do it.
You should do it.
And then let me know how it goes.
Yeah.
Let me know your experience.
And then immediate, don't do it.
Don't do it.
Or you get me, who does it?
It goes, you know, it's not that bad.
I always started that way.
That's how you know it's not good.
I always started with, Lord, it's not that bad.
Hear me out.
These are the pros.
Well, Priscilla, what about the cons?
I don't want to talk about the cons.
Try to sell yourself on it while you're trying to sell the other person on it.
Because if you can get yourself to come around, maybe the other person will too, even though
the both of y'all know that you fucked up.
And then we'll suffer together.
Yes, exactly.
Like true friendship.
Thank you.
That's all I needed.
All of this is to not even go over any products.
But yes, don't do it.
I have looked at other ones.
Same.
Costco has one.
I saw it.
I did tell Cole the next time we go, I'm buying it.
I had a little bit of post traumatic stress disorder.
So I just like looked at it and pointed at it to my husband and we kept walking.
And he's over here like patting your back like it's okay, honey.
He's like, do you really need to buy any more oils?
Mind you, I am a snob when it comes to my house.
So I use all of the Bath and Body Works wall flowers.
We need to talk about this.
Yes.
Did you watch the video?
Wait, what?
Oh, Lauren, we need to talk about this.
Wait, are you talking about the one that exploded in that chick's face?
No.
Oh, God.
Okay.
A different road.
Okay, hold on.
We're gonna pause.
I'm gonna take a sip of water and then we're gonna continue.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Okay, we're back.
Guess who's back?
Back again.
Shady's back.
Okay, I literally like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm
like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, Oh, Current
Flash back first.
Okay, Shady's back.
Tell a friend.
Okay, I literally don't always remember some words, and I was about to say, bring a friend.
That works, right?
Now you messed up.
I had it.
I had a flow.
Never call me as a call a friend for karaoke because it just won't go well either way.
I won't know the lyrics and I'll sing really badly.
Well, I got a 50 50 chance.
Okay, awesome.
Oh man. Okay, okay. So listen, I didn't hear anything about a wallflower exploding in a
chick's face. Well it wasn't a wallflower. But continue. Oh shit. Okay. Um, other things
have exploded. We'll get to that. So I sent you a TikTok video that, and I felt like I
should have texted you saying you need to watch that. When did you send it? Like a couple
days ago. Oh girl. But we're really bad at like watching them on time. So I was like,
let's go get to it. And then the more I thought about it, I'm like, you really warned her.
Yeah. A heads up. Okay. Well, here's my heads up. Um, this video, this fucking video shows
how this one woman plugged her wallflower underneath her quartz countertop. Oh, well,
number one, you're an idiot. Yeah. No, it's not. Dude, it stained it. Yeah, I know. It
stained it. Yeah, because that's dumb. Like you can, okay. Oh God. Oh no. Like it is a
thing that puts out an oil. Common sense. Bro, but they're saying that it has like carcinogenics
or whatever in it. That like it's- God bless you. I don't know how to say it right. Uh,
it's got the bad cancerous thing in it. So it's putting that shit into the air. And some
people were putting out like, yeah, um, I kind of figured it was fucking deadly when
all the plants near it kept dying. And I was like, what? Um, Priscilla, a heads up. I'm
sorry. I forgot. I have a toddler. I know I forgot. Okay. But I've only known for like
three days. That's three days. I just refilled all of my sense. Oh God. Oh God. Okay. Okay.
Okay. It's okay. Cause you know what? You know what? You're going to get for Christmas.
What? A scent diffuser. I was going to say the brand that we do not speak of. No, no,
that's Voldemort. We can't. I'd rather say Voldemort than- actually, I don't think I
can remember the name of it anymore. I think I blocked it out. Oh, the scent thing? Yeah.
Oh, I know it. Okay. Did you know that they kept, um, after I talked about it on that
first episode of the podcast, I don't know, um, YouTube TV kept giving me ads. Oh yeah,
you told me. Dude, and those ads were weird ads. They were weird. They were like very
not on par and like off putting, I would say. Okay. Not off putting like, oh God, but like
very like forced. Forced? And how much did you pay that actress? I saw Damien, one of
the Shark Tank. No. Yeah, guys, he was on a commercial and I was like, this, this shit
has to be legit. Damien's on it. God, we're sold so easily. Yeah. That and TikTok, man.
I feel like I've gotten really good. Okay. That's probably a lie. I feel like I've gotten
okay at sussing out when like, even when people aren't calling it a sponsorship for something
on TikTok when they're like low key a sponsorship. Cause you know, you can hear in their tone
when they're too peppy about something. Yeah. And you're like, okay, like, do you really
believe in that? Or are you getting some free shit from them that you want to talk this
shit up? Yeah. Cause that's what we got to look out for now. Yeah. Cause I was trying
to look up this like, uh, woman's hormone pills thing. That sounds so bad already. Yeah.
I was, it's, hold on. I'll give you time. It's, it's from like, it's called like happy
hormone harmony or something like that. And then the brand itself is like happy mammoth
or yeah, I think it's like happy mammoth. And so I kept trying to look up reviews and
my favorite place is TikTok. Cause I feel like if someone has been wronged by something,
Oh, a thousand percent. They'll take it to TikTok immediately. Yeah. So I'm over here
like, let's look at the negative, let's look at the positive. Yeah. But it is kind of hard
to tell who was like, I don't know, like a mega fan for the brand versus like actually
giving real updates. Hmm. I haven't heard anything about that, but now that we've discussed
it and my phone is near all of the people listening, it's going to pop up, are going
to not listeners, all the people listening on my phone. Hey, listen, that's my favorite
form of a suggesting to call that I want something. Oh my God. Yes. You just say it in your phone.
Yeah, we do that too. Yeah. You just go up to your husband's phone and just really loud.
Just go Lego, Lego, Lego, and then see what happens. Bingo, bingo. Although to be fair,
his phone already probably pops up with Lego. So, yeah, cause he's, yeah. But then my Legos,
which speaking of my husband has a list that I provided him with the Lego. Smart lady.
I've been doing the memory method, which is probably shameful. I'm failing so hard because
every time we go to Target, I'm like, I will. There's, there's only a 50 shot chance that
Cole will hear this. So it's fine. I go up to the Legos I like in Target and I'll sigh
and I'll go, ah, focus, and then I'll walk away. Cole, if you are listening, pay attention
when she's in the Lego aisle. If she sighs and says it under her breath, hint, hint,
wink, wink, she would like the Lego set. He is too busy looking at the ones he wants.
Oh, you guys' Legos are down the same aisle? Yeah. Oh. Cause it's all the ground up Legos.
It's all the like harder ones. So he's into all the car ones. And then I'm over there
staring at that one lonely set of hocus pocus that's been left cause it's 200 fucking dollars.
And I'm like, someday my beauty, someday. Yeah. They have one on our Target too and
got super excited. But again, I don't have anywhere for it. Now. Oh my God. You've seen
my house now. Yes. Behind you is a table with a cricket machine sharing with the Lego set.
Yeah. The, the friend's Lego set and a 1% built Disney castle. You just need some shelves.
I need so many shelves. When you come over to my house and see my house, I have no more
room for Legos. I bet I'm going to be really impressed. Yes. I'm not even going to like
share the code. That cocky nod of yes. Listen, we spent a lot of time on that room. It looks good.
I, I can't wait. I really fucking can't wait. Oh my God. Now that you've seen my house, you see
the eclectic mess that I am and how Cole is trying to fit into it. It works. It's working so far.
It totally works. He is the bestest boyfriend. He just kind of fits himself into the mess. And
he's like, yeah, he's like, I live here now. And I'm like, yes, you do. 1000%. You gotta start
somewhere. We're working with it. Yeah. How been there done that? All right, dude. I'm going to pull up.
Do it. I'm going to pull it up. How long have we been going? We haven't even talked about one item yet.
21 minutes. Yeah. Y'all I got here for an, I was here an hour before we even started recording.
Listen, we need to catch up. Yeah. Like Lauren and I used to work together and then we both had to like
go separate ways to go find- Correction, you left me. Okay. No, bitch. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
She, she left a good, a good reason. I fucking told you the day I was ready to start looking. I said,
listen to me. I refuse to leave without knowing that you're leaving too. Yes. I know you're right.
Yeah. I was like, whether we leave together or we go to separate places, we're getting out of here
alive. Yeah. I, I kid, but she did. Yeah. She didn't do me dirty. Yeah. So I had a lot of other
priorities and just having a job was cool. God, the nightmare. Anyways, trauma bonding. PTSD.
It's fine. We talk about it daily at work now. Oh my gosh. Yes. So Lauren,
what I've brought for you is the motherfucking Cobalt Mini 10.83 inch two drawer pink seal toolbox.
It doesn't have to be pink. This one just popped up, but they got other colors. Yeah. I was about to
talk some shit because that is pink, but I see all of the other colors because you know how I roll.
Yeah. I don't do pink. Hear me out. What if I got like a pink one and then put like black or
purple, like cow print stickers on it. I mean, yes. Just put the word cow in it and I'm in.
How about cow bitch? Literally anything cow period. I'm in. So yeah, I fucking saw this
in person. No, no, but apparently it's at Lowe's. It's at Lowe's. And did you know that we have
Lowe's down the street? No, I didn't because I got lost in the way here. It sent you the worst way.
Go through. I'll tell you where to go through next time. Okay. I'm super glad you didn't just
start to say that on the podcast. I know. I probably would have believed it. Go through this.
Let me give you the exact location. Here's the address listeners. Let me tell you,
I underestimated how badly, like I don't think anyone's trying to figure out where I live,
but like I listen to a podcast, these two hilarious women who recap all the trash TV
that I love to listen to. Yes. I have a podcast like that at Lowe. You need to share mine with you.
You need to share yours with me. I do. But these two women live in Texas and I'm like, nice,
you know, shout out. And then they like kind of keep dropping some hints here and there,
but not on purpose. Just like they say something and then I'll be like, wait,
you don't even think about it. That's in my area. Yeah. Shut the fuck up. And then I get excited.
And the other day I was like, cool. I hope so badly when I just fucking run into them. That'd
be so cool. I don't think I'd ever talk to them, but I think that would be so cool. But would you
know who they were because of the podcast? The voices. I know voices.
Well, and they do video now too. Ah, okay. Yeah. They, they started a Patreon and they
started putting themselves on video, but they wear wigs and I love that for some reason.
Oh, that's fine. I fucking love that so much. So like they just, it's them chilling on two
sofa, two chairs and they're just chatting and they got wigs on. That's fun. And it's fabulous.
I'm going to bring a wig next time. Oh my God. We don't have a camera yet. That's valid.
They shouldn't have told you that. Well, we'll, we'll do camera at some point and we'll just
wig it up and it's eventually, eventually. Okay. So back to the toolbox. Yes. Motherfucking cobalt,
man. Okay. What are you going to do with the toolbox? Dude? I don't know. Oh, okay. Carry
me out. What have I had a plan? Well, okay. I just came up with one and go. Okay. Two plans. One,
I could go take it to work and use it for my pens and shit. I feel like I'd look really cool.
Uh, yeah. Right. I feel like, I, cause I thought it was already really cool. Cause I'd like a little
like disco mushroom on my computer and then like five below. Um, I was like, this is a great way
to jazz up my space. No one has said anything. So I need to try harder. How teams you tomorrow. Hey,
that mushroom on your desk, that is like disco looks really cool. Me turning around. Hey,
so I'm coming tonight. I can see it all the way over here from across town.
Oh, I love that plan. But yeah. So think about it. Cobalt, you know, and bringing this over a
little mini toolbox and being like, Oh, what's this? You need a pen slides it out. Oh, I got a pen for
you. I'm for it. All right. Second option. Not as fun. I could use it to put my stickers in.
Uh, but equal good organized. I mean, yeah, but then no one gets to see it. Does the top open?
Oh, it does. Oh my God. It does. I didn't know that. You're welcome. All right. Okay. And this
bitch is using it for makeup. I mean, Hey, so be it to each your own. You don't want actually,
if that had a mirror at the top, that'd be actually kind of dope. Um, we don't need a mirror.
You put your own fricking mirror in there, man. I mean, yeah, but like for 20 bucks. Okay. For
20 bucks. Okay. For correction 1998. And you can just get a cheapo little mirror and stick it in
there. I love this. You can't tell me you don't have the stuff that you could go to hobby lobby,
get you a mirror, cut it to the size that you need and bingo, bango. That black one looks good. Yeah.
It does. So does a red one low key. I, you could pull off a red one. I don't want to buy one for
the baby. What color would you get? Um, probably red. I'll make you a decal for the top that has
his name on it. Okay. But see also that's a weapon for a two year old. Okay. What if we anchor it
down? What am I going to anchor to? I don't know. It's a mini toolbox. Okay. What if, Oh, how about
this? You buy it and then you wait until he doesn't use things as weapons or I'll just use it. Yeah,
that too. And then it'll be fine. Dude, I could eventually like hold his crayons and shit. Oh,
that's a good idea. Yeah. Cause right now, um, he is not allowed. Oh, I fucking bet. To have free
range of anything. Apparently he got a permanent marker somehow at daycare and then another kid
got it from him. So like, cool. And permanent marker did my kid. Okay. See, this is also the
greatness that Lauren brings to the podcast. She has a functional tiny human being living with her
that is on chaos mode right now. Absolutely. Like that. That is brave living, ma'am. Yeah. It's, um,
terrifying. I'm not going to lie to you. Like I love it. Don't get me wrong, but he has zero fear
of literally anything and everything. That will only increase, oh, just as a fun story, uh, sidetrack.
Um, this is, this is my kid. Okay. So he, uh, we had a little toy, little bucket that we had,
actually it's the one that doesn't matter. So it's a little toy bucket. He dumped the toy bucket out,
put it on his head, screamed and started running. Fuck. Mind you, the bucket is big enough that it
comes down past his shoulders. So he can't see, right? A tub. We're talking about like a tub.
A tub. Yes. Like a, yeah. Yeah. Run straight into the wall. Shut up. I almost peed my pants laughing
because I like he, I, I asked, Hey, you okay? Yeah. And he got up and kept running. Please tell me
that you still, I remember you used to have a camera for your pets before you got pregnant.
Yeah. We didn't have it on. Son of a bitch. I know. You could have put that in America's Funniest Home
Videos and won some money with that. A thousand percent. Like Jeff came out of our room and was
like, what was that noise? I was like, I couldn't even get out. I was still laughing, like literally
tears streaming down my face. I was on the phone with my mom and my grandma and they were like,
what just happened? And I was like, I couldn't even, literally could not get it out. Oh my God.
Yeah. So that's my kid. That is fucking amazing. Yeah. So would you say he got that from you or
your husband? Maybe both. It's probably a combination of the both of us. I just like the tiny, yeah.
Keeps going. Every time. It is hilarious. So funny. I have to see if I can record him doing it. Oh
my God. I love that. I fucking love that. I love that for you. Yeah, me too. It's awesome. I love
being a mom. Oh, OK. Yeah. So Cobalt, Minnie, let's fucking do it. Let's let's get you one. I vote
yes. Let's get me one. I'm about to go to Lowe's this weekend. Jeff doesn't know it. Cole doesn't
know it, but we're about to go to. There's one in the area. I fucking know it. Just where they are.
All right. I'm pulling up your next one. OK. Bitch. I know you got this from TikTok because we
fucking conversed about this shit. TikTok made me do it. Thousand percent TikTok made me do it.
OK, so hear me out. Yeah. Who's doing it? I did. It's not just me. No, it's not a thousand percent.
No. OK, so it seems crazy expensive. I OK. I thought the same thing. I saw it on TikTok
and I was like, no way. Yeah. And then I watched a couple of videos on TikTok, continued watching,
read a million bajillion reviews. OK, OK. OK, I'm going to I'm going to. Yeah, we're going to.
We're going to sit on this. OK. Send it to my husband. Prime day deal. Steal. Don't remember
how much I paid. OK. So definitely bought it like day one of using it. Fucking game changer.
Shut up. Really? It cleans my floors so well. And keep in mind, I have a child. Yeah, I have
multiple animals, one of which is a Great Dane. So if you can clean the floor to that extent
with a dog whose paws are essentially an excavator, I almost said esovator.
I have a child. Talked like a toddler. An excavator bucket and brings the amount of mud into my house.
Yeah. Just do a quick vacuum before because I don't want to get it all gobbled up. Yeah.
And run this all across my floors. The amount of dirt and gross grime and nastiness that it brings
up is amazing. Yeah. And we have tile in part of our house and then we have laminate. Yeah, that's
right. When you got your floors done. OK, we probably haven't said actually what it is.
Shit. Oh, my God, we have not. Fuck it. No, I'm kidding. OK, so Lauren, the dream. Yes. H12 Pro
wet dry vacuum cleaner, smart floor cleaner, cordless vacuum and mop for hard floors, one step edge
to edge cleaning with hot air, dry and black. And I was over here giving you shit on how long
yours the name was. Yeah. See, Amazon really takes it on. It's Amazon. It is Amazon. OK, hot
air drying black. OK, ignore the black part. That's the color of it. But hot air drying.
What does that mean? That is an excellent question. Do we not know? No. OK, that's why.
Do we think that maybe that OK, so like essentially this thing is a mop vacuum cleaner.
Hot air. Oh, it has a clean like it cleans itself. Maybe that's what it's talking about.
That could be it. Self cleaning. Yeah, hot air drying. Yeah. OK, OK, OK. Oh, it has a stand shit.
OK. Yeah, it's so fancy. So I remember, I remember there's a point on TikTok where every fucking other
video that came up was this mop, but it was like a house party. Oh, yeah, I know exactly what you're
talking about. Yeah, it's what you do in your 30s at a party. And we sent it to each other.
You probably sent it to me. Yeah. Or vice versa. I don't know. But you're like, I have this.
Buy it. And they're like sucking up everything. Now, granted, I am a big baby and I don't want to
just toss Cheetos and stuff in there because I don't want to ruin it because it was kind of pricey.
But they did it to there, so I know it can do it. I'll let others tell me it can do it. Exactly.
I feel that. I feel like every time there's something really nice and you're like, I know this is going to ruin it.
They can do it. And then it ruins it. You're just like, why did I? Every fiber of my being said, don't do that.
Yeah. So, yeah, I feel you on that one. OK, so let's talk about the price. The original price, Lauren.
Yeah. Five hundred and sixty frickin dollars. Yeah. Now it's gone down to three hundred.
Yeah, it's forty six percent off. It is a limited time deal. Honey is like, buy, buy, buy.
Amazon, where's my check? Can I get paid now?
Frickin Honey is giving us tips right now being like, the price trend over time.
This is the lowest price we've seen in over a month. Like, cool. But why?
Um, what? Oh, you don't know. OK, I really wish you could get paid for this.
So honey is like an app. OK, I say I have to say I because I've only ever really used it on Chrome,
but it is an app that you can install in Chrome where it collects the data of what you're like
looking at to shop for. OK. And it'll tell you if there's a coupon out there for it
or if like that's the lowest price. Like right now, it's telling us, hey, just so you know,
this is the lowest price it's been in like over a month. But if it's been lower before,
it'll tell you in case you want to like hold and wait. Yeah. So people, I remember listening to
podcasts like years ago. I feel like it's been a long time, but I remember hearing them like talk
about honey to get like sponsorship money. I wish we were there, man. I'll get there someday.
Someday because I fucking use it. Yeah. Please pay me. Yeah, seriously. And Amazon,
um, I spent a small fortune on you, so please pay me. So please, please. Money, please.
Do languages, does that help? Do we know any others? I don't. I don't think so. I don't.
I'm learning Portuguese. It's slow. I barely know English. I like this. I like it. Can I
convince Cole to get it? I don't know. It depends. If it's a Costco day and maybe I don't get anything,
maybe I can convince him. You can play with mine at my house. Let me tell you, it made the floor
so clean at my house that I was walking around with socks and I almost fell. Seriously? Yeah.
Which also probably says how dirty my floor is. No, dude, we all need that grip. We have dogs.
We need that grip. It was right after rain. So, but yeah, it's a game changer. I'm in love,
but also I was weary because all the TikTok shit. So like you said, you looked at all the reviews
and all that stuff, right? I kept seeing TikToks come up of like influencers who were supposed to
influence it. And I guess they weren't getting paid or something. So they were like, de-influencing
it. They're like, this shit don't work and blah, blah, blah. And I was like, what is happening? I
don't know what to believe. Oh, so they were just salty. Oh, they were super salty. But at the same
time, I was like, is there backing to their claim or is this just being salty? Like, I don't know.
Well, I can tell you, we have one. There we go. It works. It's amazing. I only almost died one time
on a super clean floor. After that, I wore my slippers. Dude, I used to almost die quarterly
because my mother quarterly, I don't know why it was like, she would shine or wax or whatever it
was. She would polish the only wooden step on the fucking stairs. Yep. Yep. Dead. Dead. Straight to
jail. Do you know that I think there was one time where I stepped on it, slid and it knocked the
wind out of me. So left your body. Yeah, that's happened to me, I think five times my entire life,
too many times. But like, I'm pretty sure one of those times was from that. And I remember she's
like, Oh, yeah, just polished it. I'm like, what? Why is there not caution tape? Literally, there
should be caution tape. I after that day, Lauren, I up until they moved out of that house, I never
Did you skip that step? I fucking skipped that step. I would have too, especially if you got the wind
knocked out of you. And let me tell you, like, the floor after it was also wood. But I was more
willing to test that floor than that step. Because that step was the thing that she fucking polished.
And I don't think she ever polished those wood floors. So like, she would like do some kind of
like wood cleaning thing on it. But like, it wasn't the same. Yeah, it wasn't the shit that
she was putting on the freaking handrails. Yeah. So the handrails, I mean, it's not like I'm wearing
gloves or anything with the handrails. And that step would be polished to hell. And I'm over here
fighting for my life. I mean, good on your mom for good housekeeping. But also, can we stay out of
the hospital? Yeah, like, Hi, do I have family members that can die and live upstairs? Oh, let's
not do that. Well, this woman just like never really used the stairs. So it didn't affect her.
Because like the game room was upstairs. It was like a meh game room where just mostly my dad
use it. That was really it. And then my room and my sister's room. Okay. So like she didn't really
care to go upstairs. She didn't have anything up there. So she was like, I'll clean it. And then
walk some pretty. I don't use it. I make it look pretty. She's like, fuck you guys. I'm trying to
keep it clean. Oh, I don't blame her. Oh, all right. I'm gonna call that a win. Good job. I like this.
You've influenced me to probably get it. It is expensive. I will say it was definitely a splurge.
It was not like a let's do it. Let's see. Customers say customers like the ease. Oh, this is the AI
generated thing. Customers like the ease of cleaning with the vacuum cleaner. They say it does a really
good job cleaning and removes a good amount of dirt and debris from the floors. They also appreciate
the auto drying feature and the built in hot air drying feature that quickly dries the floors.
Customers are impressed with the quality of the product and say it works well. They like the
suction and the ease to use. However, some customers dislike the smell and differ on battery life and
value. That was boring and accurate. Okay. It's dirty water. Do you think those are people who
aren't draining the water out? Okay. Story time. Oh, God. My husband, I love him dearly. He cleaned
the floors and he made a whoopsie and he forgot to dump the tank. Oh, no. The man had a million
things on his mind. Yeah. You can't fault him. Okay. And then went back the next time to use it
and it just smelled like straight up sewage. No. Oh, yeah. Because it had sat for a while. Oh, no.
So then he had to like super duper clean out the tank. Well, made a whoopsie. We all learn our
lessons somehow, right? I mean, we're not perfect. No, I have the memory of a goldfish. You took that
from me. Because I said that. I squirrel constantly. Does that make it better? I am like a squirrel. Our
dog sees a squirrel. I'm like, oh, squirrel. I think we both have goldfish brains. Yeah. And we
both squirrel so fucking bad. It's so bad. It's incredible. We were really good at our jobs.
I think because I can multitask as well as I can because I can squirrel. Does that make sense? Okay.
I think for you that works. And for me, it was a miracle. Because I have learned. I think I lied to
myself for years and I told myself I could multitask. I don't think I can. Oh, I'm learning that.
Because I wasn't writing things down the other day and I was like all over the place. And
yeah, and my coworker was like, are you okay? You seem frazzled. And I was like, I just have so many
things and also don't. And I can't remember the last thing I was doing, but I think I have five
things that I have to do. And that's when I was like, oh, go back to writing things down. Oh, God.
And that's also when I was like, you can't multitask. Stop lying to yourself. It has to be written down.
If it's not on a piece of paper, it's gone. It's gone. To do lists. Oh, to do lists. Oh, a thousand percent to do lists. Those are my favorite.
I'm teaching Cole. And it's so satisfying to check it off or highlight something. That was the best.
Are we weird? We're fucking weird. Oh, but you know what? It's paying off. Because with Cole's new job,
it's all very task oriented and keeping up with people. And he's learning that he has to work a lot more with his laptop and just double checking stuff.
It's very, I don't know, what would we call that? Like admin-y? Okay, so admin and what's the word? Oh, my goodness. I forgot the word. I had it. Shoot. I lost it.
Networking? Yes. Yes. There you go. So admin slash networking, right? Yeah. And today he was showing me what he was having trouble with.
And I was like, oh, I got you. You just do this, this and this. Mind you, very different field. Not the same field even remotely.
But I have mastered the sense of using computers to help me just organize myself immensely. It's insane to me.
That I just, I showed him two things. He's like, I actually think that's going to help me with this task that I had no idea how to complete.
And he goes, and I think I'm going to have to start organizing myself for now on because I'm going to have a lot of things to do.
I'm like, oh, my sweet, sweet man. Let me show you my way. Yes. Let me show you all the to-do lists I've ever done in my life and why I stay semi organized.
Literally game changer. Working on projects with you with your freaking checklist. I love that shit. I use that shit even after you left.
And then I'd be like, did you check the checklist? Why is nobody using the checklist? Lauren, I made a full checklist just for this podcast.
Oh, wow. I meant to show that to you. I'll show it to you later. It's literally a step by step process on what gets done to get it done.
Okay. Whatever you got to do to make it work. Yeah. You're a pro. Thank you. You should just do checklists for people.
I fucking wish, man. You could get paid so much money. Hey, who wants to pay me because I'll fucking do it. I mean it. I love it. It is so satisfying.
Yes. So I'll highlight everything. Oh, my God. Yes. Although that's also my flaw.
Like, you know, in school, when they'd be like, highlight the important things. Everything. The entire page. The entire textbook.
And be like, what's not important? I'm confused. Why would you put something that's not important in here? I don't understand.
And they'd be like, you can't understand bullet points. I'm like, it's not in bullet points. It's in a paragraph. What's important? Tell me now.
Like, I couldn't do it. History was just so bad. It was so bad. Off topic. Anyways, I'll move on to my next thing.
Back to what we came here for. Sorry. Oh, I saw this. Yeah. Okay. We're going to be so bad on this podcast together.
It's fine. I'll make a deal with you. What if? What if? If one of us then like just kind of breaks down and gets something,
we let that one person get it so that they can review it and then influences the other. Yes.
We don't both ever pull the trigger at the same time. I 1000% am in. Fuck yeah. Okay, deal.
Babe, I promise I'm not going to be bad. I'm not. High five. Yeah, that was a good high five.
You got to look at the elbow. You got to match them up. No, seriously. That's why you do a good high five.
You got to look at the other person's elbow. Seriously? Yes. I wasn't looking at the elbow.
It's because you were looking. Wow. Glass shattering mind blowing moment that I didn't fucking know about.
I'm here for the fun facts. So what if it's a cross high five because that was like same arm high five.
Look at the elbow. Oh, but you came in high, but I was looking at your elbow. That was too low. Shit.
You are overthinking. Okay, but then that time I looked at your hand and I was able to align.
Is it different when it's crossed? I think so. Also, my hands are massive compared to yours.
That was palm on palm. Well, we just have adorable little tiny hands. I've got hobbit hands.
No, they're adorable and I have phalanges. Phalanges. Yeah. I'm gonna name my daughter one day phalange.
Please don't. Well, color Angie for sure. Oh, all right.
I'm kidding. That's not the name. Don't worry, Cole. I pick names anyway.
Okay, so what I'm showing Lauren is called the remarkable two. This shit is a tablet,
but like not a normal tablet. It's a black and white paper, quote unquote paper tablet.
And it's supposed to replace like notebooks and printouts. And, you know, like you it's
supposed to prevent you from feeling like you need to buy an iPad as mine sits next to me.
Do as I say, not as I do. Listen, I didn't know about this. But yeah, it's supposed to
replace your iPad and like you just you write endlessly on it. Yeah. And like it doesn't have
any type of social media on it. I mean, that's a pretty big win. That in itself is a win to kind of
just separate yourselves. Yeah. Sometimes we just were too much with all of the social media.
And I know I get distracted. Oh, yeah, I can't take it anymore. I mean, like, there's the occasional
like like I like TikTok on my downtime. So lunch after I'm done eating. So I finish eating. I'll
sit there, go through a couple of reels, mostly so I can like find the funny ones to send to you and
to call. Yes. And then that's that's I'm good with that. And then later when I get home and I find
some more downtime and I'm just like, OK, let's kill a little bit of time. And it's really just
to find the funny ones. Yeah. Or the dramatic ones. Yeah, that's it. That's it. And if there's like a
lull and they they are not good and they're not hitting. Oh, you got to get off. Yeah, I quit.
Yeah. Got to let the algorithm remind itself like who's working for who here. Yeah. Like, yeah,
no, it's it's I agree. Like the whole social media aspect on it. Not well, for it to not be there is
really good. No email. No, like, oh, God, I can't see that either. Like it's notifications in general.
Yeah. Like my iPad is just filled with so many notifications. I'm like, I don't want any of this.
Yeah, I've gotten to the point that I'm just like when it asks, do you want notifications of some
immediate? Yeah, no. And I will go on there when I want to go on there. Exactly. OK. And so on that
note, that is why I switched back to a Fitbit. Oh, yeah, look, I don't have my Apple Watch anymore.
Like I have it somewhere in my house. But I switched back to a Fitbit. Who are you?
I have a person who got really tired of being notified of everything. I mean, honestly, low key,
even like the Apple fitness notifications. Yeah. They shame you. I turn all that stuff off. They
shame you so I'm literally just like, oh, what's the weather? Because I'm an 80 year old man.
And what's the time? What's the moon look like? Well, couldn't tell that by looking out the window.
So good to know. Yeah. Yeah. Still rocking Apple. So this shit, I freaking love the idea of this
remarkable to like paper tablet. Also, because I got to witness it in action. You did? Uh huh. OK,
what's the verdict? Well, so the guy at work who has it brings into every meeting and uses it.
And the only thing that perplexed me, there was just one thing because I'm watching him use it.
The pen, the stylus thing gets to be used just like the Apple one where like actually more intuitive
than the Apple one because the tip will write and then if you flip it over, it will pretend to like
erase. Whoa. So I thought that was cool. It's good. Like just like a normal pencil. Awesome.
Does it have like an enlarged version of it? Oh, you're fine. Oh, no, that just zooms in the screen.
Uh, wait, an enlarged version of what? The pen. OK, the pen. It's like,
OK, you kind of see it, right? Yeah. And it's got like a clippy thing and everything.
Mm hmm. So it writes really well. It looks like it writes really well. I think there's a teeny
bit of a lag. OK, which I know to be expected. It's to be expected, but also might drive me crazy.
Yeah. So that part has kind of kept me away a little bit, but maybe they're working on that.
Who knows? Is it a newer product, though, too? Because I want to say this is the remarkable,
too. Is this not only its own bladda bladda bladda bladda. I'm stuck in a loop. The second version
of. Yeah, I believe there's a one. OK, so yeah, they're like working out the kinks and whatnot.
Wow, they even made a like little keyboard for it. Oh, there's a good. Yeah, I can see where like
a lag when you're writing. That would drive me crazy. Yeah, but they're they seem really good
about like their product in general, like the guy at work, he has this I'm showing Lauren,
and it's like a little glass case of the marker tip. So I guess they know that their marker tips
don't last forever. But they're like, hey, we'll literally send you a bunch of them. Here you go.
That's like, oh, that's nice of you. Thank you. But like. So he seems to really love it, right?
He downloads like all of his PDFs on it to mark him up during our meetings. I'm like,
very nice, very nice. Not the kinds that you and I use more like just normal. OK, typed out PDFs.
But still have the capability to do the stuff that we look at. I have no idea. I would imagine so
because it's just an image, technically. That's true. It's just, you know, uploading an image
onto it and then letting you write on it. How much storage does it have? I'm here for the questions.
That's a really good question. I actually don't know because I would be concerned that the PDFs
that we are viewing would be way too large, way too large. Like, look at this. It looks like they
have like the capability of having like a lot of files on it. Oh, it connects to OneDrive and
Google Drive and Dropbox. So cloud, that's important to know. OK. Oh, it's a freaking
subscription base. Red flag, red flag. I'm waving the red flag. Why do we not have a red flag?
Because we're not on video yet. We should go where we're meant for video. Taking notes. Note to self.
Note to self. But yeah, like, oh, two weeks of battery life. That's pretty damn good. That's a
lie. It probably is. That's like if you never use it. It'll last on two weeks if you don't
know if you don't turn me on. I used it once and wrote Friday meeting. Shut off. Done. Left the office.
But yeah, like the dude seems to really like it, right? The funny thing to me is he goes,
yeah, I read it in three colors. I thought it was black and white. He goes, it is. Wait. Yes. Yep.
Yep. Yeah. Did he mean gray scale? So technically, I think if you let's say you save it.
Let's say you pick a certain gray tone to highlight with. Uh huh. And then you save it.
It's going to pop up in color when you open it back up on your computer.
OK. Which is interesting. But also not very useful for the actual product itself. But yes,
they are gray tones on the product. But he was like pointing to them and he goes, this one's red.
This one's blue. Oh, Benji. And this one's like, I don't know, probably yellow for highlight or
something like that. Hmm. It intrigues me to see what that looks like. I feel like it would throw
me off if I'm being completely honest with you. I think it would throw me off too, because I mean,
I'd just be like, oh, nice. Lots of gray. Like I would just because when I'm taking notes,
I and say like I'm walking and taking notes, I like have because I'm an 80 year old man,
have like a pocket in my flannel with pens and highlighters. And if something is like
super important, I'll highlight it or circle it in another color. But I feel like it I would get
lost in my notes, like say you're walking and you're taking notes as you're walking.
And then somebody was like, oh, hey, what was this that I said? It's all gray. I don't know.
Oh, my God. I see like a dog. I don't know.
The pure panic, your fucking panic. Absolutely. Oh, man. Also, should I get you a pocket protector
for like your birthday? I mean, if you want to kind of want to.
CalPrint. Oh, yes. Yes. All things Cal.
But yeah, like I like the idea. I think it's a good concept. Yeah, I feel like they can work out some
bugs. I agree because, okay, so it's like only $279. Let me say only. It's $279. But also like,
if I want to pay $279, I also want it to be lag free. I'll be honest. Yeah, same. And I mean,
okay, so this is terrible. I haven't bought an iPad in so long. But like, what does an iPad even
run just for like. Girl, I will look that up. Excuse the clickyness of my keyboard, but maybe
some of you will like it. iPad Pro 2024 or so. I don't know. What? 700 bucks maybe. Oh, God, no,
it has to be more than that. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't know how much I think it's worth anymore.
I don't know why. But I know what it's not nowadays where I'm like, nah, that's gonna be too low.
I can't even tell you what diapers cost. I just have to buy them. So I buy them.
Did we forget that the Apple website never gets to the point and just let you and let's endlessly
scroll because I forgot. Oh, okay. Okay. So super basic, super duper basic can be $799.
I was so close. You really were. I'm really impressed with you.
I'm proud of myself. That's the 11 inch, 11 inch display for who knows what terrible storage.
And then 12.9 inch display for probably terrible storage. Yeah, is a thousand dollars and 99 or
99. No, 1099. 1100 bucks. Yeah, 1100 bucks. And that's so real quick. Let's let's play a game.
Let's play that if I choose an 11 inch and the most basic, well, I guess they're both basic colors.
Let's say black. Okay. For two terabytes, $1900. That was, that was a what the 700, 800 one
for the $800 one went up. No, fair enough. Two terabytes is a lot. That's a lot. But let's say we
went mid, which is what 512 nowadays. Yeah. 512 is then back to $1100 for 128 gigs, which gets us
nowhere. Yeah. I think my phone has that. Yeah. $800. So you can not double that up to 256. And
I mean, 256 is not the worst. No. And they only bump it up by like $100.
But still, we need to know what the storage is on that other guy. But if everything goes to the cloud.
Yeah, you weigh it out. And like, obviously, I don't have that money to drop on
iPad Pro. But I don't want to just sprinkle $279 for a potential laggy dog view.
This is now I can't think. Can we call it dog vision?
I got dog vision now. Yeah. Look at this. Call me alpha.
But yeah, dude, did you know that you could get your iPad engraved?
That just seems like a bad idea. What would you engrave it with? Your name?
Please, please return to. Oh, my God. But yeah, like, I agree. I agree. Here's the thing.
We could get a remarkable two for $279. I could get Hocus Pocus for the same amount.
Or you could just use a patent paper for $5 and a high five.
And let me tell you that high five, I'll be looking at that elbow. Yes, you will.
With all of your pens and your highlighters and your pocket protector.
All right, y'all. Thanks for joining us today. That's going to have to be the end of part one.
Sorry, that's not like a super clean transition. We just didn't really realize till the end that
this needed to be chopped up. So, you know, buckle up and get ready for part two next week and join
us to finish off our fun list of things that we found and to hear more stories that are super
random and eclectic and just uncalled for. Because that's what happens when you get Lauren and I
together. So hope you all enjoyed. Also, don't forget to follow us on Instagram at justtakemymoneypodcast
and listen to us on any platforms that you feel like listening to us to because we're probably on
those. Also YouTube. Not video yet, but hey, you heard Lauren. She's interested. So we'll see about
that. Okay. Thanks y'all. Bye.
