261: You Should Probably Get Botox

Overtired 261

[00:00:00] Christina: You’re listening to Overtired. I’m Christina Warren here as always with Mr. Brett Terpstra. Brett, how are you?

[00:00:11] Brett: Oh, it’s Saturday.

[00:00:13] Christina: It is Saturday. Yeah. we are recording late. Thank you very much for letting us record late. I was, shall we say more than Overtired yesterday?

[00:00:22] Brett: Yeah. You, you, you said you had like 90 minutes of sleep. What happened?

[00:00:26] Christina: I do. I don’t know. I don’t know. I get these insomnia burse and, um, this was one of those situations where, and we were recording late. We’re recording at 8:00 AM, which for us is like a late thing. And I genuinely had had like 90 minutes of sleep and I was like, I can’t do this. And I had a meeting at 10 and I was like, I just need to sleep until 10:00 AM.

[00:00:47] So, because it’s easier to go into a meeting with like three and a half hours sleep versus 90 minutes. So.

[00:00:55] Brett: Well, if we didn’t, if we didn’t ha oh, our sponsors a show this [00:01:00] week, I would have just given you the week.

[00:01:02] Christina: Yeah. exactly. But we love our sponsors that much. And we love getting paid that much. That a here we are.

[00:01:10] Does anyone still have ringtones?

[00:01:10] Brett: Yeah. So, uh, so, uh, uh, w w you know what, I, I really liked the ring tone that, you know, the music that Skype plays when you’re like waiting for someone to pick up.

[00:01:22] Christina: do, do do.

[00:01:24] Brett: Yeah. Yeah. Aye. Has it always been like that? Or is that like something new?

[00:01:29] Christina: I think it’s been that way for a number of years. I don’t know how long, but I’m with you. I like it. Uh, the funny thing is at least because audio is such a shit show everywhere. I don’t always like hear it. So sometimes you don’t have my things set up and I like won’t hear it. But when I do, I’m always like very excited because a, like, I know my audio is working and be it’s Jonty.

[00:01:51] It’s a nice little Shante doo doo doo doo doo doo.

[00:01:55] Brett: Yeah, it’s completely inoffensive.

[00:01:58] Christina: It is completely

[00:01:59] Brett: I can’t [00:02:00] imagine anyone being upset by this Skype ring. Ring tone sound.

[00:02:04] Christina: No, and it’s not like, like, like the, like the T-Mobile duh, duh, duh, duh. You know that one. Drives me. It drives me fucking crazy. And there’s also one, like one of the default iPhone ones is just like offensive. And I think it’s because at this point I relate it to like, okay, so you and I, we were joking before we started recording.

[00:02:30] Like, we both just have our phones on silent, so we don’t even use ringtones anymore. My mom is not one of those people. And so she’s had the same kind of ringtone, like since she’s had like her Motorola razor or whatever, and she always keeps her phone on and for whatever, like my mom, I love my mom so much, but like my mom, you know, she’s your mom, like, you get annoyed by shit.

[00:02:51] Your mom does. And like my mom, like some of her stuff, like, she’ll just like let the phone ring and we’ll be in the car. And like, she’s like trying to find it to answer. And I’m like, just pair it with [00:03:00] your Bluetooth system. And it’s a whole thing. So there’s certain ringtones that when I hear them, I just like

[00:03:07] Brett: Great sound new.

[00:03:08] Christina: Well, yeah, it’s like a completely Pavlovian thing, right? Like, it’s, it’s just like, you hear it in, like, instead of salivating, you just like, get like mad. But, um, I, uh, I used to be really into like having cool custom ringtones that I was switch up like every few months. Like I would even make custom ones like which apple didn’t make easy.

[00:03:31] And then like the process of getting them onto your freaking phone, they made more difficult. Like you, you couldn’t even use iTunes anymore. Like you had to use like I mazing or some shit. And, um, you know, like, like various, like third-party apps to like, get like the, in for our file on.

[00:03:48] Brett: Yeah.

[00:03:49] Christina: And, and, uh, I, kept it going until like five years ago.

[00:03:53] And then I was just like, you know, my phone’s always on, on silent.

[00:03:56] Brett: I, uh, I used to, if you go to [00:04:00] dot com slash other stuff, I have a couple sets of ringtones. Uh, I have, I have with titles, like surfing puke tastes like burning, unlicensed to ill. We came to wreck everything and the swamp stomp and me. So thorny,

[00:04:16] Christina: I like it. I like it. Lipstick and crisis rudeness who invited you? Um, uh, bat shit. I like that. I liked that. Yeah. I um,

[00:04:27] Brett: what was that? I think that was, I think that was, uh, I can’t remember. Um, I want to say, oh yeah, it was a meatloaf. It wasn’t meatloaf sample.

[00:04:37] Christina: yeah. Yeah. Meat. Yeah. Bat shit is meatloaf, which is great. Uh, lipstick, a crisis is New York. Joel’s rudeness is a specialist who invited you, Tom petty. And the Heartbreakers. I like this. Yeah, I think my, my favorite one. Cause, um, do you remember like the, the, the, the Cielo song, uh, fucking.

[00:04:53] Brett: Yes.

[00:04:54] Christina: That was my ringtone for a while, which was great.

[00:04:57] And, um, that was funny [00:05:00] in public. That was always like a good one in

[00:05:02] Brett: Sure. Sure.

[00:05:03] Christina: Um,

[00:05:04] Brett: In line at the grocery store.

[00:05:06] Christina: people loved it. Honestly, people like you get like a, like a, like a kick out of it. Cause I, I, I made it like the actual, you know, fuck you like, like thing, like I didn’t, um, I didn’t like make it the censored version or whatever.

[00:05:20] That was good. Um, I remember I had like, neurals Barclays crazy again, a Cielo kind of thing, um, uh, for, for, for a time. Um,

[00:05:30] Brett: question. Have you ever heard the violent femmes cover of crazy?

[00:05:36] Christina: Yes.

[00:05:37] Brett: Oh, it’s so

[00:05:38] Christina: good. That’s so good.

[00:05:39] Brett: I should add that to our show notes because people need to hear this.

[00:05:43] Christina: They really do. Cause it’s good. I mean, it’s a great song period, but like That that cover is fucking great. Yeah. No, but I used to do other things like, and, and, um, I had a Taylor swift style for a while. Like I had, you know, like, you know, kind of your, um, I think I even, did you adjust in Bieber song? [00:06:00] Um, at like, well, cause when, when purpose came out, it was a fucking good song.

[00:06:03] It was a fucking good album. He’s a piece of shit, but he writes some bangers or he doesn’t write them. voice is used on some bankers. He, I mean, look, I would never see, I was talking about this with somebody like that last week, I would never pay money to see Justin Bieber live. Cause you know, we terrible, you know, like, like he he’s in, when he started a tour before, like there’ve been times when he just like lays on like the stage and like his bands, like, and then his plates were like, oh, he’s having a mental breakdown. We left you so much chest. And I’m like, you fucking asshole. Fuck you.

[00:06:33] Brett: support you.

[00:06:34] Christina: And I’m like, get the fuck up and perform like, and then I’m not one of those people who like get up and sing, but I’m like, if I paid hundreds of dollars to see you perform you better not be lying on the fucking ground. Right. Like

[00:06:46] Brett: I can tell you that Brittany and Madonna have both had their rough days and pulled off killer performances,

[00:06:52] Christina: right. Absolutely. And Madonna actually singing, Right?

[00:06:55] Like no shade to Brittany, but we all know bitch can’t sing. She lip syncs like [00:07:00] a mofo though, and dances real fucking well. So like get the Real well.

[00:07:05] so get the fuck up Justin. But has some bangers, as I said, that he has his, his voice has been used on, but yeah, there’s something happened where I finally like gave up ghost and it kinda makes me sad because I do enjoy the ringtone thing.

[00:07:20] I wonder if it was going to corporate America, because I, I will say like in our newsroom, people will fuck you. Great. Aye. Aye. And occasionally like having like, like a chain smokers, like, you know what I mean? Like you can, you can mix it up and like have things that would like make people laugh. Microsoft.

[00:07:39] I don’t know, man.

[00:07:41] Brett: why is to have different Rincones for different peoples. So like, it would depend on who was calling me. I don’t even know what my phone sounds like when it rings anymore.

[00:07:50] Christina: Yeah. I was going to say, I think mine is just like, whatever the Depot shit is, which is honestly kind of worst. But plus at this point you get notified like on your watch, [00:08:00] on your phone, on your computer, on all your things, you know what I mean?

[00:08:03] Brett: Yes, I do know what you mean. And then you try to decline the call from your computer, but your phone keeps ringing and then you like hit the button on your watch and then it, it like answers it.

[00:08:13] Christina: it answers it And,

[00:08:14] you’re like, oh, but I didn’t want to talk to you And then like nine times out of 10, it’s like a fucking spam number anyway, because everybody just texts.

[00:08:22] Brett: to talk to you about your car insurance or whatever.

[00:08:25] Christina: And you’re like, what the hell I was thinking about this the other day? I was like, when my nephew is old enough to like use things, like I’m going to have to explain an, a physical phone to him and it’s going to be like, like a non cell phone to him and it’s going to be weird conversation.

[00:08:46] Brett: I was just watching my Saturday morning cartoons, which consisted of modern family. Um, and, uh, they had an episode where they pulled out an answering machine out of a box in the attic

[00:08:59] Christina: Hi.

[00:08:59] Brett: [00:09:00] and the kids, the kids were baffled. What is that?

[00:09:03] Christina: Yes. Okay. I was actually, it’s funny you say that. Cause I was thinking about answering machines too, and I was thinking of how to explain it to people because I was watching my Saturday morning cartoons, which, um, was, um, Okay.

[00:09:16] So have you been watching in.

[00:09:18] Brett: No,

[00:09:19] Christina: American horror American crime story series about the Clinton thing is so fucking good.

[00:09:25] Um, so we, we, it, it’s the one with, with beanie Feldstein as Monica and, um, Sarah Paulson as Linda Tripp, who was fucking great. Actually, they both are, uh, Clive Owen as

[00:09:39] Brett: Yeah. Yeah. I did see the previous for

[00:09:41] Christina: it’s really fucking good. Like it’s really, really fucking good. Um, and so that then got me like on an ADHD, like, okay.

[00:09:53] Um, I now need to, um, watch other Sarah Paulson things cause I love her. And then that got me thinking about her [00:10:00] best friend who is Amanda Peet, who I like quite a lot. And then I was reminded that I hadn’t seen all of, um, dirty John, um, um, the, uh, Betty Broderick. Which came out last year and that is on Netflix.

[00:10:16] And I was watching that and they, because it takes place in the eighties and also, Amanda, Pete’s fucking great in that, so good. Um,

[00:10:25] Brett: a good segue when we’re, when, when we’re, when you’re done.

[00:10:28] Christina: yeah, but, but then they like have like it, cause it’s eighties, they have like fucking answering machines and I was thinking the same thing. All right. Go on your, your, your

[00:10:36] Speaking of Amanda Peet

[00:10:36] Brett: No, it’s Amanda, Pete. Um, so

[00:10:38] Christina: is fucking great.

[00:10:39] Brett: I have had this show coming up under my recommended shows for a couple of years now and never gave it a shot. It’s called Brockmeyer

[00:10:49] Christina: Uh huh.

[00:10:50] Brett: it stars Amanda Peet, at least for the first season. It does. And Hank Azaria.

[00:10:55] Christina: Oh nice.

[00:10:56] Brett: It is crazy good. I love this show so [00:11:00] much that you’ve never seen it.

[00:11:01] Christina: No I haven’t. But, but you, but now I’m looking at it.

[00:11:04] and it looks like this is totally my shit.

[00:11:07] Brett: It’s like a Brockmeyer is like his, his ex-wife. He has this like public humiliation, whereas ex-wife is like pegging some other neighbor guy in the middle of an orgy when he gets home and he he’s a sports announcer and he has this very public meltdown over the whole thing spends a couple of years like touring brothels in foreign countries and then comes back and tries to crawl his way back into sports announcing, uh, like starting from the bottom in this like fracking riddled town.

[00:11:40] It’s so good. It’s he’s hilarious. It’s amazing. The writing is excellent. Amanda Peet is awesome. It’s a great show.

[00:11:48] Christina: Okay, I’m going to watch it then. That’s that

[00:11:50] Brett: And it’s half hour episode. You can

[00:11:53] Christina: Oh.

[00:11:53] Brett: any time.

[00:11:54] Christina: So You can fit it in all the time.

[00:11:56] I love it. I love it. No she’s really underrated. Um, [00:12:00] she’s one of those people who like didn’t act a whole lot, cause she got married and then like took care of the kids. Um, but you know who her husband is, the guy who created game of Thrones.

[00:12:11] Brett: really?

[00:12:11] Christina: Yeah. David Benioff.

[00:12:13] Brett: Huh?

[00:12:14] Christina: Yeah.

[00:12:15] Brett: was the, what was in it in another, in a world. Did you ever see in a world?

[00:12:22] Christina: yes, that was with lake Belvaux. Who looks

[00:12:24] Brett: Oh, oh yeah. It conflated in my memory.

[00:12:29] Christina: No, it was no big, but they do look a lot like sheep. So I somehow this turned into another thing that I wash at three o’clock in the morning and I, I watched half of it, which was. Amazing that I watched half of this thing, but I was, cause again, I was like washing, like Sarah Paulson, he made a stuff and then I was recommended on YouTube.

[00:12:46] Apparently Amanda cause they’re best friends and they best friends since they did Jack and Jill together like 20 something years ago. And um, Amanda, Pete got basically got Sarah Paulson, the job on studio 60. [00:13:00] And um, and you can tell like when they interact, like, cause they do the red carpet stuff together, but they’re like best friends.

[00:13:06] They’re like people who have like total shorthand together and whatnot and um, L or in style or something wanted, um, Amanda P to do like an Instagram live thing with Sarah Paulson sensibly to talk about some movies or whatnot, who knows this was like a little over a year ago. And it was just, it was the most, it was an Instagram live and some fan recorded it and it was remarkably delightful.

[00:13:30] It was like an hour. And I was reading to the YouTube comments and people were like, I’m going to watch a few minutes of this. There’s no way to watch the whole thing. An hour later, I watched the whole thing. I got through like half an hour and I could have gone on, but I was like, I kind of want to watch other TV, but it was actually like, see, hearing them talk to each other.

[00:13:45] It was very funny. And they were like, Amanda, Pete was a little drunk, but in a good way, it was, it was a very funny, like, interesting conversation of the two of them. And it made me like, I’ve always liked them both, but maybe like the book a lot. But Amanda Pete [00:14:00] mentioned, um, because I guess they both been confused for other people or whatever that like on the, they weren’t like, uh, some fashion week show or whatever, and somebody like called her lake.

[00:14:11] And so, yeah, so, uh, like some paparazzi person, whatever. So she’s, she’s been confused for like bell by other people. So you’re not alone.

[00:14:20] Brett: Yeah. Yeah. I, I like I’m way better than my partner owl is at recognizing movie stars. Uh, but not that good.

[00:14:35] Christina: No, but they look a lot alike and they star in similar things and it would make sense that you would think in a world because, you know, that’s a county thing, but lake Bell’s great. We she’s, uh, on, uh, she was in children’s hospital, which old

[00:14:47] Brett: I forgot about that. Yeah.

[00:14:50] Christina: Which w which old school, uh, Overtired listeners will know.

[00:14:53] Brett: uh, uh, David Wayne did and, and, uh, and Rob Corddry did a followup [00:15:00] recently. And I can’t remember what it was called now, but it was, it was like just a Netflix release. Um, but she showed up in it and I’m pretty sure

[00:15:10] Christina: That’s so funny. Um, yeah, I loved, I loved children’s hospital that was before.

[00:15:18] Brett: if you’re into that kind of humor, it was,

[00:15:20] Christina: you are you, it was, it was it was funny. Cause it was, it was very satirical and, um,

[00:15:25] Brett: you ever got into this state,

[00:15:27] Christina: yeah, exactly what that was going to say. It was completely this, uh, of the states, Allie was again like David Wayne, you know, sort of thing. And then your friend Rob Corddry. Um, and then, uh, it started, uh, the, um, the chick that they killed off from the Kevin James TV show.

[00:15:43] Do you remember that drama? Okay. So, so Kevin James, they like gave him another like family. TV series, um, called Kevin can wait, um, on CBS. And this was like something that aired after, you know, king of Queens, which of course, you know, it was like the show that [00:16:00] made him famous or whatever, and it didn’t do that well.

[00:16:04] Um, or things weren’t working, but she, but it, Erin Hayes was, was the actress and she was like the other kind of female lead who was on children’s hospital, the other Burnett. Okay. Who was very funny. Well, they cast her as his wife. Right. It seems like great, you know, kind of gig. Ratings aren’t working, whatever.

[00:16:26] So they decided to just fucking kill off the wife over the summer. They decide to not bring her back. And so they fire her in a really shitty way. And then they decided to kill off the wife and they decide and said like Lear Remedy’s character or like Leah Remini, who of course was with Kevin, um, uh, James for forever on, um, king of Queens.

[00:16:43] They’d bought her in at the end of the season to try to like goose ratings. And like she played a sister or some shit. And they realized, well, actually we kind of like the two of them together better. So we’re just going to kill off the wife, even though she was playing his sister. So the retooled, the show, they bring it back over the summer and they decide, and then the way the Inez, the pro public was just like really [00:17:00] shitty.

[00:17:00] They were like, Yeah.

[00:17:00] So Kevin’s wife died now, even though the whole thing is about like his family life. And then they decided the show is going to take place. A few months after his wife died and they just like casually mention it, like in a really awkward way. And like th th th the setup, and then like immediately go into a joke and then she’s like never mentioned

[00:17:19] Brett: Oh my God.

[00:17:20] Christina: was, it was like, I mean, that’s shit that they would do in the eighties. Like, even

[00:17:25] Brett: that’s some bad planning and writing

[00:17:27] Christina: it is, it is like, like, like fucking fucking the Hogan family, which had been called Valerie, like after Valerie Harper. And then they fucking took her name off the show and fired her. And then she sued NBC and all that stuff.

[00:17:40] Even, they had to deal with several episodes for the fact that like, the mom died in a car accident. Like even they steadily dealt with like the death of like one of the main characters better. And that was, that was like 25 years before, 30, 30 years before, or whatever the case may be. So, yeah, that was completely one of [00:18:00] those, um, like in the Pantheon.

[00:18:03] What are poor ways that the characters have been written out of shows? Most of the examples are from the eighties and nineties, because that makes sense. And then fucking Kevin can wait, comes in. Um, uh, it, it was, it was created by, um, the Bruce Helford who created the drew Carey show. Um, and, and a lot of other those types of things.

[00:18:26] And they fucking came in and killed off the wife in the second season, just being like, so six months ago, my wife died and like the way they made it seem it was, it was that a letter came with her name and then they just made a joke. Can you believe that six months after she died in that tragic accident, you’re still getting her mail.

[00:18:42] Ha

[00:18:44] Brett: Oh, my God.

[00:18:45] Christina: like I didn’t watch the show. Totally. I didn’t watch the show, but I did like, remember that drama and then I was like, wow, that’s some shit.

[00:18:55] Brett: I want to get back to talking about TV because well, it also mental health is part of [00:19:00] why I want to talk about TV, but, um, but could you, uh, take a moment and tell us about Zack doc? Do you have.

[00:21:15] Christina: that go? Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. Cause you had to have some shit with your teeth done. How did that

[00:21:18] Brett: I apparently have excellent, uh, bone growth. Oh, my God, they do this thing. When I first got there, they made me stand in front of this mirror with my chin on a platform. And this x-ray machine like spun around my head. And then when I sat down with the doctor, he brings up this 3d rendering of my skull and he can like turn it.

[00:21:44] And he’s like showing me where everything is in there. What’s beeping.

[00:21:49] Christina: I don’t know, dude.

[00:21:50] Brett: Did you hear that?

[00:21:52] Christina: No.

[00:21:52] Brett: Oh, Jesus. It’s it’s in my head. Um, but he he’s like spinning this 3d rendering of my skull around and [00:22:00] it’s so cool. And like, anyway, it went well, I’m getting implants in December. I’ll be getting implants drilled into my jaw.

[00:22:11] Christina: Nice.

[00:22:12] Brett: Yeah.

[00:22:13] Christina: that’ll be painful, but it’ll be good. And it’s good. They’re doing it in December or to maximize your, Um,

[00:22:18] like oral surgeon, like, like your insurance thing. See, good segue. Because insurance even good insurance, they have like a cap on how much they’ll cover for dental shit. So if

[00:22:30] Brett: They’ll cover a year,

[00:22:32] Christina: yeah,

[00:22:33] Brett: but I mean, but I have a flex spending account that has like six grand in it. So I get zero fucks.

[00:22:39] Christina: yeah, no, that’s good. Now does your flex spending account, does that carry over or do you have

[00:22:43] Brett: Yes. Carrie’s over at four now. Uh, like they made special allowances for like pandemic era.

[00:22:50] Christina: got it.

[00:22:51] Brett: they’re allowing us to carry over all of our savings accounts.

[00:22:55] Christina: Nice. Yeah.

[00:22:56] because this is why I don’t do a flex spending account. I do have an HSA, [00:23:00] but I, don’t do a flex spending account because most of the time they make you use them. And if you don’t, then you’re fucked. And then there’s like this whole list of things that you can spend things on, but then there’s this whole list of things you can’t.

[00:23:12] And so if you haven’t spent it, you wind up spending like hundreds of dollars on shit at fucking Walgreens, because you’re like, I’m going to lose my money.

[00:23:23] Brett: I knew I had this thousands of dollars worth of teeth replacement coming up. So I went for the FSA this year. Um, I may not, once I have my teeth taken care of, although I have a, my mouth, I like, I always have something wrong with my teeth always. So it’s kinda not a bad idea for me to always have a couple of grand available for fixing my mind.

[00:23:47] Christina: No, totally. Like, it’s not, um, it’s not a bad idea, but like I said, I prefer the HSA versus the FSA. Although there, I don’t know what the differences are in terms of like what benefit it is to you because like the health [00:24:00] savings account doesn’t expire and is just like any sort of investment account. But whereas the flux Spain accounts, it might be the tax impact.

[00:24:08] I’m not really sure. Uh, I think that’s what it is. I think that, that, that, like you don’t get taxed for the FSA stuff. Um, but I, I made the mistake again when I was in New York of, of having an FSA for a couple of things. One time it was for. Transit things because we were, well, the way the FSA works is we were supposed to get like a monthly, like pass, like it was supposed to give us our Metro card.

[00:24:36] And then for some reason, Mine like the system didn’t work. And cause we were supposed to get them from like our employer and a specific amount of this account. And then it stopped working. And so I had to like buy it myself. And then I was like left with this fucked up situation. I had like double MetroCards, which is not helpful if you get the monthly pass.

[00:24:54] Cause the way the Metro card monthly pass works is it’s like $106 a month or something, but you get unlimited [00:25:00] passes and that’s great. Um, and if you take the subway twice a day, every day, You know, minimum, then it pays, it’s like a thing that you should pay for. Um, but, um, it got to the point where it like, wasn’t, I wasn’t getting them and I had to like call and deal with all the stuff.

[00:25:18] And then the whatever benefits we were using, like, yeah, we’re not going to use the FSA. Oh, I wrote, it was the fucking state of New York. Real was like, yeah. Um, transit stuff is no longer going to be FSA eligible because that’s not something that people need or anything. So,

[00:25:34] Brett: Mine is only for dental and vision.

[00:25:38] Christina: Oh,

[00:25:38] Brett: nothing else. I can’t like I tried to use the card at the pharmacy and it, it declines it

[00:25:44] Christina: Yeah. Yeah. They have really weird rules about that stuff. So again, this is why I

[00:25:49] Brett: it’s confusing because they sent me two cards and one says health spending account. And the other one says health savings account. So remembering which one is for the [00:26:00] HSA and which one is for the FSA. Like I’ve kind of, I’ve got it figured out now. Like I use the right card, but sometimes I have to ask them to like try twice.

[00:26:08] One of these cards is going to work and one isn’t.

[00:26:11] Christina: Right, right. Yeah,

[00:26:12] yeah,

[00:26:13] no, totally. Um, actually that’s a reminder to me. I need to get my health spending account, like the card expired and I need to get it renewed. Um, cause it’s like a MasterCard or whatever. Um, so I’ve just been submitting stuff manually, but I need to just have them send me a new one.

[00:26:25] Um, but yeah. I, um, I don’t, I, I don’t do the FSA. I do the HSA, but I do understand why, like, if you’ve got the dental stuff coming up, like it can be a very good tax, like purpose thing, the way our insurance works. I don’t know how yours works, but, um, they cover most of it. So they, they give me like a certain amount that they fund the HSA with each year that covers most of the, um, like, um, minimum for the insurance.

[00:26:59] [00:27:00] And then I’m not charged anything monthly.

[00:27:01] Mental Health Corner

[00:27:01] Brett: yeah. Same. Um, what was I going to say? I forget I had, I had relevant information, but my brain is moving ahead to other things. How’s your mental health?

[00:27:16] Christina: Um, well, I mean, I’m not sleeping, so that could be a good or a bad thing. I don’t know.

[00:27:21] Brett: never a good thing.

[00:27:22] Christina: I mean, it’s probably

[00:27:23] Brett: Never again thing.

[00:27:24] Christina: it’s probably not. Um, it’s okay. I guess it’s the fucking end of the year. Um, but yeah,

[00:27:34] Brett: Yeah. I, I

[00:27:36] Christina: my birthday’s next week

[00:27:37] Brett: oh yeah. You’re going to be like 27. Right?

[00:27:41] Christina: 29.

[00:27:42] Brett: Cool. Congratulations.

[00:27:43] Christina: Thank you. I’m very excited about, about, um, being a 29, um, you know, I’m still not 30. So that’s, that’s an important thing for me. Um, I don’t know. Am I, am I, am I have 30th birthday in Vegas next [00:28:00] year? I’m not sure. I might wind up

[00:28:02] Brett: You’re never going to have a 30th birthday.

[00:28:06] Christina: Probably not. Although,

[00:28:07] Brett: suddenly be 48 skin to skin. You’re all. You’re, you’re never you’re 29 until.

[00:28:16] Christina: well, that’s why I might have 30th birthday next year.

[00:28:20] Brett: Okay.

[00:28:23] Christina: Um, so yeah, but no, I’m, I’m I’m uh, I still got a birthday coming up. That’s weird. I don’t really like aging. I used to like my birthday, but now it just is a reminder that like my Dorian grade year with deal with the double, like it’s working so far, but I don’t know how long-term, it’s gonna work.

[00:28:40] Brett: Sure.

[00:28:42] Christina: Um, I got some Botox when I was in Atlanta and I’m getting more when I go back for Thanksgiving, which I appreciate, um, a, it helps my, my, my migraines, um, that is legitimately true.

[00:28:55] And I have bad migraines, but B make no [00:29:00] mistake. The primary reason that I get it is because I want to limit like the look of aging and it’s not like I look all plastic or anything, but it is one of those things. Like I actually regret not getting into my twenties because it is preventative. So to any, um, uh, people in their twenties who are vain, like me out there who Are listening, start getting Botox, even if you don’t need it.

[00:29:21] And even if you’re like me and you actually do look pre naturally young, just, just start getting it. It’s not a bad thing. Um, it’ll help your migraines. And, um, it’ll also, uh, like lessen the impact of other stuff. It’s it’s not bad.

[00:29:37] Brett: are we from voting plastic surgery at Overtired now?

[00:29:40] Christina: Botox. It’s not plastic surgery and, but yes we are. I have no problem. Plastic surgery.

[00:29:46] Brett: cosmetic.

[00:29:48] Christina: do, do you, I’m probably going to get a boot shop, Um, uh, slash Lyft. I’ve decided I want that. Um, it sucks. I can’t make it a business expense. Um,

[00:29:58] Brett: I am getting [00:30:00] vaginal rejuvenation.

[00:30:01] Christina: I mean, I would like that too. I don’t know. Actually, my friend Ashley got that. Um, she got like a, did she get the whole, oh no, she didn’t get that. But she wants to, she wants to get the whole mommy makeover thing, which is when they give you like a tummy tuck and they’d give you like the vaginal rejuvenation.

[00:30:16] and something else, but she wants to do it in, in Texas.

[00:30:21] I think she liked the surgeon or some shit, but the problem is, is that like the recovery is kind of intense. So it’s one of those things where, I mean, her husband could take care of the baby and stuff, but it was one of those things where at least when she was thinking about getting it at one point. I might need you to like, watch the dogs and my older son and stuff.

[00:30:40] If I do this and I was like, yeah, cool, whatever you do you, um, because like you can’t immediately get on a plane, you know? Um, yeah, no, I mean, I’m, I’m probably aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Why wouldn’t we be like, I’m not saying that everyone should go out and do it. I’m saying if you’re vain, like me, [00:31:00] Botox is probably a good idea.

[00:31:01] And the younger you do it, the better, this is objectively true. It’s also reversible. So it’s not a big deal if you’re not a fan of it, but like why wouldn’t we be a fan of people make on their own decisions deciding to get cosmetic

[00:31:14] Brett: Hey, I’m not judging. I just didn’t realize that’s where the podcasts had gone. I didn’t, I didn’t realize we were taking a stance on this at all.

[00:31:22] Christina: okay, well look, we are not. Christina is Christina who has been very firm about this for as long as she can remember is very much like in favor of. You do you do some people go too far and does it become unhealthy? Yes. In most cases though, like, fuck, if you don’t think that every single person that you look at on television or the movies has worked on, you were completely full of shit.

[00:31:49] Like I would pay so much money and I will put this out on the pod. I’m very sure that we do not have listeners to have this connection. However, people might surprise me if you know who Reese [00:32:00] Witherspoon’s person is, I will pay a significant amount of money for the name. Um, I’m not asking for an appointment.

[00:32:06] I’m asking for the name of the doctor. I will do my own begging pleading, whatever to get in with doctor. But if you know, whoever we should put the spoons like Dr is because her work is fucking great. Cause she looks amazing. It’s not, plastic-y looking, it doesn’t look fake. Like it looks fucking excellent.

[00:32:23] Um,

[00:32:24] Brett: not, you’re not going to get that answer.

[00:32:26] Christina: No, I I’m not, but I’m putting it out there because I I’m putting this out there, like on lots of podcasts, because I’m trying to get this information out there. I’m not, I’m trying, I’m doing everything I can except for tweeting it because I don’t want to, like, that’s too obvious, but like, no, it’s not even Gosha, it’s just, I mean, I don’t care.

[00:32:42] I heavily literally have no shame about this. I just feel like that might backfire. Um, cause I feel like this is the sort of information that like, this is why I’m saying I would pay thousands of dollars for it because I feel like this is the sort of information that is highly, highly privileged because obviously [00:33:00] everyone knows reasonably it’s been, all of them get work done, like it.

[00:33:03] And no one judges them for, Okay.

[00:33:05] Some people judge them for it, but the people who judge them for it are fucking assholes and probably look terrible themselves. So fuck you. But you know, you. They don’t want to promote the doctor and the doctor certainly can’t put it on the website or any of that. You know what I mean?

[00:33:19] Like this is like, these are people that like, I need to know who the nip tuck guy is to go back to television for a minute. Like, um, and there’s a Sarah Paulson connection here all goes full solar circle because Ryan Murphy created nip tuck, which is a very problematic show when you watch it in 2021, however, it’s fucking fun 15 years ago.

[00:33:40] Um, but I want to know like who those guys are. They were in
