3 Cocktails In
Addicting conversations between friends who have been there, done that and still want more.
We are 3 friends who got this crazy idea to start a podcast based on our friendships, family lives, professional lives and experiences! This idea kept coming up in our conversations, especially after a cocktail or two or maybe three, and we finally decided to ACT on it!
We don't claim to be experts on too many things, but friendship? Well, we've got that down. We're making our way through major life changes, searching for work that excites us, busting myths associated with 'old' people, and keeping a sense of humor about it all.

3 Cocktails In
Why Don't You Just GTS? Or Use AI?
Ever found yourself battling the irresistible allure of Halloween candy? We've all been there, juggling candy cravings while trying to maintain self-control as trick-or-treaters swarm our doorsteps. Join us as we share personal stories of sneaky Rolos and the quirky texture of Airheads, and reveal our top strategies to keep our sweet tooth in check, including the genius idea of placing candy just out of arm's reach. And don't miss out on the unexpected fashion gem Kitty discovered at Walmart, perfect for those last-minute Halloween preparations.
Our conversation takes a fascinating turn as we explore the evolving role of AI in our everyday lives. We've seen AI become as indispensable as Google, transforming how we solve problems and access information. From personalized Netflix recommendations to robust banking security, technology is shaping our world, often balancing convenience with skepticism. Dive into the discussion on how AI, with tools like ChatGPT, is revolutionizing personal and business landscapes, making technology an essential part of modern life.
But what does this mean for creativity and ethics? Listen in as we tackle the complexities of AI's role in education and creative industries. While initial concerns about AI replacing human jobs are valid, there's a growing appreciation for AI as a collaborative tool that enhances creativity. We ponder over the importance of crafting precise prompts for AI, and how this technology can streamline processes for artists and writers. You'll gain insights into the dynamic collaboration between AI and human ingenuity, and the exciting, albeit occasionally controversial, future this partnership holds.

P.S. Isn't our intro music great?! Yah, we think so too. Thank you, Ivy States for "I Got That Wow".
All right, look, I got that. Wow, who wants some heads up right now? We got that. Turn it up loud. I know you're wondering how I got that. Wow, here I go. Here I go, coming. I can't ever stop. I'm a tour de force running. Get me to the top. I don't need an invitation. I'm about to start a celebration.
Speaker 2:Hello, hello.
Speaker 3:How is everyone tonight? Doing great Doing well yeah.
Speaker 2:Great, it's Friday night, it's.
Speaker 4:Halloween Eve. Halloween Eve and Friday and Friday night for Amy yeah.
Speaker 3:It is yes. Well, this is Three Cocktails In where we have addicting conversations between friends who have been there, done that. Still want more Right. Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2:Yes, do you know what I don't want more of what halloween candy. I've been sitting with a tub of halloween candy in my office for the last week and I I am unable to say no to that candy, but I've had it. I know me too. Twix suck Kit Kat bars bad. I can't eat Snickers because every time I do I end up coughing. And yet I'm still opening the wrappers and eating them. Today I tried an Airhead for the first time in like 25 years.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, and see, you can't eat very many of those because your tongue gets raw well, the airhead, the first bite of the watermelon airhead, I was like, oh my god, this is so good. And like, by the third, third chew of it, it was like chewing, like play-doh I know no flavor bad texture yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 3:Airheads are a weird texture yeah, yeah, I went to.
Speaker 4:Yes, they are weird texture I went to walmart yesterday. Uh, I had a coffee meeting really early yesterday morning and so I thought, all right, in eden prairie so I'm gonna pop over to wal Prairie. So I'm going to pop over to Walmart because you guys, I'm telling you they have some really cute clothes lately and I never thought that I would buy clothes at Walmart. But my sister has picked up a couple of really cute things. So last time I was in Sioux Falls we went and very cute things. So I thought all right.
Speaker 4:I'm just going to pop over there. And also we hadn't gotten the Halloween candy yet, so I bought the two big bags of Halloween candy. We never know what we're going to get for kids. Sometimes we get two kids, sometimes we get 30, but you don't. You have to be prepared for 30 or more. So I bought the two bags and they're the fun, fun size. So the bigger ones? No, yeah, they're the smaller ones, so there's fun size.
Speaker 3:And then these are oh, you mean the little, the little bitty squares.
Speaker 2:Yes, well, not fun size, I know.
Speaker 4:That's why I said the fun fun size. I'm like what is fun about this? But the one bag that I got has Rolos in it.
Speaker 2:I'd be picking those out and putting those aside.
Speaker 4:So I picked them out and ate them all. I ate them all already. So, yeah, I picked them out, I picked them out and I ate every single one of them. Good job, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yep, you're the winner. Wow, I know I have candy in my office and I finally moved a bag over to the credenza in my office and put it in that drawer, so I would literally have to stand up and go over there to get it, instead of having it right where I'm sitting. Okay, well, that's good. Yeah, sure, sure it works.
Speaker 2:Hey, you're getting your steps in now on the way to get the candy right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't think the. I don't think they equal. You know, cancel each other out. I don't think. Yeah, the I don't think they equal.
Speaker 1:You know, cancel each other out.
Speaker 3:I don't think yeah, no.
Speaker 2:Well, guess what we're talking about tonight. I have no idea. Oh, you didn't get the memo. I did get the memo. Okay, I know what we're talking about, yes.
Speaker 3:We're going to talk a little bit about AI and you know useful ways to use it.
Speaker 2:Kind of like Google, because we all use Google and my favorite initials that I picked up from the long term. You know, boyfriend, that dumped me with Post-it no, no, over text GTS, gtsts, gts, google, that shit, perfect answer when somebody asks you or says I don't know how to do that, I just want to.
Speaker 3:I have sent gts before yeah, my, my answer to those people are Google. You should try it out.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah exactly yeah, or or wow. It's too bad that we don't have full blown computers in our pockets that we carry around with us every day. I know it is. I mean when, when we think back to before we had the internet, how did we find information, the library, you'd have your trusty sources.
Speaker 4:But I am so grateful for this age of technology that we live in. Certainly there are things that I know you hear people talk about all the time. I don't like how my technology tracks me and all of these things, but I'm one of those people that looks at it and says I'm grateful for it because all of it is making my life better, Makes it easier for me to find things, easier for me to buy things that I want to buy. It serves up content to me based on what I'm searching for. All of that, in my view, is good, and I don't know there's going to be people who sit on both sides of that conversation.
Speaker 4:But when AI started to rear its head and that's not new either, AI has been around for a very long time it feels very, very new to a lot of people, but it's been interesting how many people have looked at it and said it's bad. I don't want anything to do with it. Nope, I don't want it. I don't want anything to do with it. Nope, I don't want it. I don't want, I don't want to learn it, and it is. That's not. That's not a great point of view in my opinion. So we're going to talk about that a little bit today we are?
Speaker 3:yes, can I? Can I give examples of how ai is used that you wouldn't? That you don't know? You know there's a big difference between, like, using a chat bot or you know, we'll talk maybe some about chat GPT, which is the first thing I used, anyway, but just general things. You know that AI is used for. You know that AI is used for, for instance, like if you are when you're on your Netflix account or searching for movies, or whatever it tells you. You know, based on what you've watched here's, you might like this. You know those. That's exactly AI, because AI takes data, you know, collects data, you know looks at different trends. Or you know things that you've watched, like, for instance, kitty, you're probably watching all your Halloween movies, right?
Speaker 4:So it's probably also, at the same time, suggesting Halloween movies. You know to you, at the same time, exactly what ai is. Yeah, yes, and that's been around for a long time and we've all been, we've been using netflix and all of these streaming services for years and that function has been there for quite a while. It keeps getting better and better. But yes, that's a very common uh use of it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, same thing like with your you know fraud protection, you know, like on your credit cards or your you know bank account and all those kind of things. It's checking to make sure you know, you know collecting data, looking at data again and making sure there's not something strange and unusual going on again of ai, there's not people sitting there digging through all your you know, all your information, trying to find yeah, find those kinds of things I drive a lot for work and have ended up in different locations and needed to um put gas in the car.
Speaker 2:And if I put my credit card in, I'm not at all surprised by how many times it asks me to input my zip code, my billing zip code, when I go to my regular locations. It never asks me that.
Speaker 2:So, that is a great example of how AI has been working behind the scenes for a long time. So let me ask why do we think now there's? Because before nobody called that AI, nobody talked about that as being AI. Why now has this become a thing, AI? Why now has this become a thing? Why do you think that it is part of the ever-evolving conversation, especially in business? I mean, I know why I use it and how I use it, but what was the event or the person that set this off as the discussion now about AI? Do you guys know? Do you remember? I don't know. I'm asking.
Speaker 4:Yeah, we should, we should GTS. I was going to say, or pop that into chat GBT. So the you know the googling, um. So I still do that, but oftentimes I'm kind of, but I'm I'm oftentimes asking more of a compound question. So not only what is, but how can I? And so when you combine all of that into one chat GPT spits it out. My guess is that once we started having these engines and I think chat GP we'll just refer to it as chat GPT because that's probably the most recognized there are tons of them Like Kleenex, yeah, Kleenex for facial tissue, yeah. But all of a sudden people realize that you could plug questions in there and it would just lay it all out for you, versus with Google, it will say here's what you can read, or here's an article, here's an article, here's an article.
Speaker 4:What the AI is doing for us now is that it's scraping the entire internet and it's pulling together all the information, distilling it down and putting it into a very readable fashion. So the concern for a lot of people is well, isn't that taking all of the? Isn't that making it too easy for people? Isn't that so an application with education? People are saying well, how do we know that kids aren't going to use it to write their papers. Well, you know what they are sure they are, but so the education system has had to figure out how to detect that, when they are, and and how to use it appropriately so that it can help students actually learn better.
Speaker 4:From a business perspective because I know all three of us use it in business and in our personal lives I think we all love it because you can pop a prompt in there and the way that the way that I look at it is it just gets us started.
Speaker 4:It might write you an outline, it might write you the first pass at an article or a blog post or whatever. But we, as the human being, we need to make it better, and so the big debate that I think you hear people talk about mostly is is AI going to take jobs away from people, from people? And the common answer I believe that whenever I hear people talk about this on a panel is well, the artificial intelligence will only be able to take it so far before you need the human touch on it to make it better, to make it the tone right. It's never going to spit out perfect content, so I don't know what the thing was when, all of a sudden, people realized how we can be using it in the ways that we're using it today. But it happened really really fast.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know I and maybe we were going to talk about this. I don't know what, you know what the outline was, but you've mentioned a couple of times prompt and that's the human element. That, right there, is the key to chat GPT. You have got to input the correct prompts. The better your prompts, the better the output, and what I like so much about it is you're able to say, or you could even upload, something you've already written and say, copy this tone and pattern and then have it do whatever you want it to do.
Speaker 2:So you know, for me I use it on occasion for when I'm writing description of homes, because sometimes I'll have four homes that are the exact same home. They there's, it is the same floor plan and you know, you, you have 10, 12 homes in your neighborhood. Sometimes your brain just kind of fizzles and, just like you want all the pictures to be different, you want to capture the reader's attention and the way to do that is to make sure that they're reading something different each time. So I'll put one in and I'll say rewrite and appeal to maybe it'd be appeal to a millennial buyer, rewrite. You know, let's just say, if the home is a one level home, rewrite and appeal to someone downsizing. You know you can list all it's. You need the human element to set up the parameters that you want AI then to work with.
Speaker 4:Yep Right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so, and it's a good fast. So I'm Asian, you know.
Speaker 4:Very fast, yes, freaky fast. I mean it's, it's too bad that, uh, it's too bad that jimmy has the trademark on that, because, um, it, it is, um, it's amazing. So, one, this is interesting too. So I actually uh for with with chatT, I have two accounts and I have done that for a very specific reason. So one is for my jewelry business and the other one was for my previous company. And the reason that I've done that is because you can train your account to know the brand. You can train your account to know the brand.
Speaker 4:So in the beginning of my usage with my jewelry business, chatgpt, which is just basically logged in with that email address and different password, I said here's who I am. My name is Kitty Hart. I'm the owner of Good Glam. This is fashion jewelry. Heart, I'm the owner of Good Glam, this is fashion jewelry. Here's who we appeal to. This is our vibe, our tone, our personality. I just gave it, I put in all of this intel basically about me and my business. So then every prompt that I put into it, it knows to take that, to take it from that perspective, to take it from the good glam perspective. And then, likewise, over in my previous business with Heroic. It knew that brand. My other account knew that brand so I didn't have to tell it every time certain things it knew to craft its its responses in the tone that I had set up in it. So that's kind of a. That's a handy little tip for people who might be managing lots of different types of content or using lots of using it for lots of different types of content or different brands, right and on the other hand, yeah of using it for lots of different
Speaker 3:types of content or different brands, right, and on the other hand, yeah, and on the other hand, if you were new to it, I've been using Snapchat, the AI, my AI in Snapchat, and I've been using it just like Google. You know, like you mentioned, google, you kind of have to pick through you know things, or you know to get what you want to read. But if you, you know, do the same thing, prompt it, type in your question, you know it spits out an answer really fast in Snapchat. So I kind of like that you can save it in there. You know, I think one, one question I have.
Speaker 3:You know that how of like faking famous people or you know, like I just saw one today I was looking through some things had to be AI, because there were these cute little toddlers walking the runway in these really super fancy Halloween costumes. There's no way they were real and the reason I could tell is how they were walking. You know like Thor was walking, like Thor would. You know they didn't trip, they didn't have. You know they didn't have any crazy expression. You know it was totally, you know AI, you know. So that's the thing I'm not sure you know and I don't know how you'd ever regulate it, but to me some of those things or like you see an ad for something that's a famous person, their mouth isn't quite moving with exactly with you know what I mean with what you're saying you can kind of figure out that can't be, you know, can't be real didn't scarlett johansson have a lawsuit because somebody developed an ai type of persona or a commercial or something and it was her and it and she didn't do it right.
Speaker 2:That was not, it wasn't her, her face. She never gave any permission and one would never be able to tell, and I think she won a pretty, a pretty good lawsuit about it. I did hear a panel with um justine bateman of all people from you know what was that? Family ties. So very long ago, very long ago, and it was actors and actresses talking about the use of AI in film, and they were.
Speaker 2:She was adamantly opposed to the fact that all of those movies, all of those TVs, all that writing is creative work. That's somebody's work, and in many cases, you know you can't just run a movie and decide to show it to 500 people in your garage. You know you'll get in trouble for that. But she's saying you know that's just pure and simple theft. If you're taking all the movies, if AI is accessing all the movies and spitting out parts of all these different movies, they're stealing somebody's creative production. And so I think that's really interesting to see when you talk about regulation and you, how do you? I mean, we use it for creative purposes, but I don't think I'm stealing anybody's uh already written uh home blurbs that are out there, but it does post some interesting conundrums that somebody's got to be figuring out, yeah.
Speaker 4:So when you think about writers so you've got writers who write for different publications they're one of the industries that said wait a minute, this is going to take my job away. Um, designers I've had tons of conversation about this with um. You know previous companies that I've worked for where they've said you can plug all of these prompts. It's getting better and better and better, and it's now creating visual as well. This is going to.
Speaker 4:You know, it's been around for quite a while that you could use services like Fiverr and others to create a logo for you, and I think in the early days of that they had a fleet of actual people designers but then it moved digital and it's like Canva. You can pull up Canva and I can put in I need a logo for a jewelry business and such and such, and it'll give me all the assets that I need for a logo. So the design industry also has been reeling about it, but I think they're kind of all coming back around to say, okay, let AI start the process, but then the talented designers need to make it finished product. People need to make it finished product and I think in general, that's that's. There's some comfort coming to people who in the beginning were saying this is the worst thing ever. What are we going to do? This is destroying our industry. There are effective and great ways to use it. Of course, there will always be people and businesses who will try to use it for bad. That's, that's that's always nature.
Speaker 4:It's human nature, it has. It has always happened. So yeah, as an example of that, I don't know that anybody's interested in this, but our podcast.
Speaker 3:I don't know that anybody's interested in this, but our podcast. So when we publish our podcast within the site we use it uses AI to write three paragraph. You know three paragraphs description or you know quick synopsis of what we talked about. So it does it automatically and but I, you know, we have to edit it every time because it just isn't always perfect theme, like it'll say you know, in my podcast today instead of our, or it'll mess up. You know, amy's something that was really kiddy and you know different things like that. So you still have to edit it and you still have to go through some of it At times I don't like, so I just take it out and change it, you know. So that's exactly it. It gives you a really good start and really fast. Otherwise, you know it would take forever to. You know to write that Sometimes I don't know that, you know. You know it's fast, so we don't have to spend the time to think of what we want to write.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I think one of the reasons we wanted to talk about this today is that we do hear a lot of people expressing disinterest and fear about it. I think, especially when we started seeing it show up in Facebook. Started seeing it show up in Facebook, so in the search bar it was. Now it kind of flips back and forth between searching and meta AI, and then we started seeing, you know, comments from people saying, hey, meta AI, I don't want any part of you. You know, whatever, whatever, I don't. Facebook put that bar back, whatever, and it just it reminds me of you know.
Speaker 4:So what if, when the telephone was invented, if people had said I don't want to have any, anything to do with the telephone, I don't need to communicate with someone in another house or another part of the city or another part of the country, I don't have any interest in that. When the computer, when computers came out, I don't have any interest in that, I don't want to know anything about that. These are modern advancements that, if we don't at least try to understand them, and it doesn't mean that you have to use it every day, all day long. But as we are aging, so here the three of us sit in our mid-50s. We have kept up on every single thing In this technology age that we're living in. Oh my gosh, the things that we've seen, the advancements that we've seen, and we've kept up with them. We've seen and we've kept up with them and it's part of what keeps our brains young and vibrant and it keeps us feeling like we know what's going on. Connected, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just the whole, the whole idea that something new is introduced and you're going to say, no, it's you know. No, I'm out. Time does not go backwards. We are not going back to not having computers. We're not going back to not, you know, to a lot of things the way they were in 1990, 1980, 1950, for God's sake, you know, you just have to look at every new thing that's adapted, every, every new thing that's been introduced as okay, well, it's not going away. So how can I make the best of it not going away? So how can I make the best of it? Yeah, yeah, right, and you know what? You don't have to use it. But, like a lot of things, how do you know it's not helpful to you if you don't ever give it a try?
Speaker 3:right yeah, that's right. How about? How do?
Speaker 2:people know they love roasted beets if they never tried them.
Speaker 3:They don't, yeah? So how do we feel about autonomous cars? You know, someday we're going to see I haven't seen one yet, but people see them, you know with no driver.
Speaker 2:Honestly, that freaks me out.
Speaker 3:I agree. But you know we're really quickly headed that direction and I can tell you why. And I am always reminded of this because you know and I go back to this, a lot Farmers already have it in their tractors, in their combines. So they just based on satellite and it knows where they are and it knows how far they need to go and they just, they just sit there, you know, and it drives. They're doing other things at the same time making sure this is working right, make sure that's working, but it drives it and it gets to the end of the row and it turns it around and goes the other way. So you know it's coming if we think that cars aren't going to, you know.
Speaker 2:So I have a question about that. Ai has decided that I like to watch eight-year-olds drive combines evidently eight and ten-year-olds, because I get those in my reels all the time and I'm really curious, now that you said that are. Are they able to do it because they're so good at gaming and understand the screens that are in there. So they're not really driving it, they're just managing the technology. Is that what they're doing?
Speaker 3:Yeah, if they got in trouble you could shut, shut it down. You can shut it down pretty quick, you know. I mean it's not going to just keep going forever and they go in the ditch and have an accident. I mean it knows if nobody's paying attention, it knows enough to you know to stop. Um, yeah, so easy, because they probably can't. You know, some of some of them probably can't reach the floor and everything. No, they're a little old lady, yeah, and if you don't think it's true.
Speaker 3:I just had a guy the other day say oh yeah, my crew today is 11 and 15.
Speaker 4:I'm not aware of any of this. This is completely new to me. What yeah?
Speaker 2:Yep, wow, yeah, I'll send you. Next time I get one of those reels, I'll send it your way. Okay, yep, yeah. Now with my, my commute to work is now like 40 minutes um each way. There are many a time when I would like a number of the drivers on the road to be replaced by an autonomous driver. I think that that would be lovely, especially if we had it. You know rules of the road. You don't get to use the cruise control in the left lane. You know. If you notice more than one person passed you on the right, you're in the wrong lane. You know. Go with the flow of traffic.
Speaker 4:We could maybe eliminate road rage yeah, I, I look forward to it. I think it's going to be a really good thing. I'm glad that it's being tested and I just I'm one of those people that it's like, uh, I'm grateful for the early adopters of the all electric vehicles. You know, all those things get the kinks out, figure out the technology so that 10 years from now or or what, whatever it's going to be, maybe it's not, it's not maybe going to be 10 years, less than that for the autonomous vehicles. But, um, I think it'll be great to have somebody or something else drive me around so that I can, um can, read or play a game on my phone.
Speaker 3:Sounds good to me I know, Nope, oh my God.
Speaker 4:I can't parallel park anyway, so.
Speaker 3:I know I wish my car had that feature. That would be nice. Just do it I.
Speaker 2:I mentioned that I got my car had that feature. That would be nice, Just do it. I mentioned that I got a new car right. A couple weeks ago. I got a new car. It's probably about a foot bigger than my last car and it's got the cameras all the way around and the screen inside.
Speaker 2:And I'm really good at parallel parking, cause I have to be. I mean, I park in a garage, but there are many times that I park on the street and I zipped in on my way to work the other day, wanted to stop at my favorite bakery down the street to just run in and get a, uh, a baguette, to pretend I'm back to France, and I tried to use that screen and I had to, like five maneuver, try it twice and I was probably four feet from the curb and I thought to myself I'm going to do it the old fashioned way where I use my mirrors and I look out over my shoulder because I couldn't get the spatial awareness right between that screen and the red lines and the yellow lines that it was giving me. So I you know I'm trying, but sometimes you do have to work the old school method, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I wonder how it would calculate that. It's just not a big enough space and you know, want you to go somewhere else and not not park in well, it was pretty big.
Speaker 2:I just, I just couldn't figure out how to you know. Yeah so I know, I thought that was funny what the hell these screens aren't helping me at all Back in my day.
Speaker 3:Uh-huh, that's, I think, a lot of it. You know, and we're probably guilty of some things. I'm sure that we're just, you know, I don't know. I don't think we're afraid to do anything, afraid to look into any new technology, into any new technology. I just always, you know, even the beginning of chat GPT, I just couldn't wrap my head around. How am I going to use this? You know, how is this going to be beneficial? So I'm guessing that's more like it. For most people it's like, oh, you know, I don't need to use this or I don't need this kind of thing, and maybe true, but it's not something to be afraid of, and you know, and I think oh, I'm sorry no go ahead.
Speaker 2:Go ahead, Amy. Until you mentioned it, Kitty, I had never thought about using AI in place of Google. I saw them as two separate things. But now, thinking about it, if I put it into AI, I'm not going to have to decide whether I want the dimensions or the definition or the first 10 answers that are all sponsored by somebody trying to sell me something. You know that's in the wrong zip code, that that, whatever it is, that doesn't apply. I think I am going to use that a lot more for those, those things that I'm, you know, now using Google for.
Speaker 4:Yeah, if. If I have a simple question like um, how tall is Patrick Mahomes, I'm going to put that one into Google. That is in my Google history, by the way. Um, I'll put that into Google. But if I need, if it's more of a complex thing or a compound thing, I'm going to put that into GTS.
Speaker 2:Tell me about Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 4:There you go. Then you're going to AI.
Speaker 2:Tell me more. Yes, yeah, exactly Right, mm-hmm. Yes, that's funny.
Speaker 4:Real quick. Last week I had an opportunity to facilitate a panel discussion that included Dave Anderson, who is the founder of Famous Dave's, and Stephen Schussler, who is the founder of Rainforest Cafe and apparently the most successful or the most popular restaurant on the Disney properties, and it was fascinating to listen to these two businessmen, who happen to have insanely successful restaurant chains also, and one of their main takeaways was to always be curious, and that is central to what we're talking about right here as well. Just be curious. We as adults have to let ourselves go back to when we were little and all we wanted to do was say why, why, why Right To everything, why, why you're right to everything, um, and we kind of we get that curiosity sort of knocked out of us as we become adults. Um, our creativity also knocked out of us, um, but hearing these two men who are 60s and 70s probably very successful business they just couldn't say it enough. Just be curious, that will serve you well as you go through your life in general.
Speaker 2:Well, you just you know we're joking about Patrick Mahomes, but I'll tell you, one of the best phrases that I use daily in all of my interactions with people who come into work is tell me more about that. Whatever it is, they just said that I don't quite understand where they're coming from, or maybe they don't know what they're trying to get out. But to just say, you know, tell me more about that. Yeah, as opposed to well, why are you X, y, z or why is that important? It's? You get such a better answer and you learn more when you just open the door by saying tell me more about that.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, it's a good open-ended question.
Speaker 3:It is.
Speaker 2:They're probably more descriptive with their answers, and it's curiosity, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3:Cool. Remember a few weeks ago in our I think, maybe the last episode of our season one. This is now season two. Remember we were going to do revive the shots.
Speaker 2:We have three shots.
Speaker 3:Three shots. Does anybody have a new shot for this one? I?
Speaker 2:do Okay, oh, okay, do you have one? Okay, hang on, I need a. I need a visual aid. Yeah, I do too, okay, okay, do you have one, stacey? Okay, hang on, I need a. I need a visual aid, yeah.
Speaker 3:I do too.
Speaker 2:Okay, one moment.
Speaker 4:Well, hello.
Speaker 2:Hello, I'm back. I wonder if Stacey and I have the same, because I shared it with her and then she no, are we doing? Are we sharing the same thing? Okay, so I went into target, kitty goes into Walmart. I went into target. I haven't been in target a long time. I tried to knock that step out, um, but I needed some stuff for work, my new office, some some stuff. And I happened to walk right through the dollar aisles, which are now dollar $3, $5 aisles, and they have a bunch of their Christmas stuff out. And I am. I am fully in the camp that thou shalt not decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving dishes are done. I mean, that's just kind of me, but look what they have. They have little itty bitty light up houses, yeah, or?
Speaker 4:$3.
Speaker 3:Aren't they cute. They're so cute.
Speaker 2:There's different colors. Yeah, there's different heights, different colors, and they're $3. So I have them tucked into my plants Cute.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I would say go now, because by the time you actually want to start decorating. And although these are Christmas, you know, with their Christmas stuff there's nothing Christmassy about this no, totally not. You're just darling $3.
Speaker 3:I was surprised. I also got some of their. You know, six inch high, I would guess, kind of like a silver mirror, kind of looks like mercury glass yes, it does Mercury glass. Little Christmas trees that light up also, that are really cute, and I kind of have a lot of that stuff at Christmas time anyway, so I'd get some of those, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yes, they were cute Darling, stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it is Okay, mine is when I went to Hy-Vee. Did you know Fresca has a flavor.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, I've had different flavors of Fresca. I didn't know that.
Speaker 3:I thought Fresca was Fresca. So yeah, I found black cherry citrus Fresca.
Speaker 2:They also do either an orange or a mango, something.
Speaker 3:Oh, that would be good also, uh-huh, yeah, okay, so there's my thing. Did you think of anything, kitty, while we were on break there for a minute and left you alone?
Speaker 4:I have this queued up and ready to go, so the new Tom Hanks and Robin Wright series that is coming out looks like it releases on November 1st. Have you heard about this?
Speaker 2:No, what is it?
Speaker 4:It's called here. This is going to be fascinating. So they basically they take tom hanks and robin wright and they make them young again and and older as well. So is this, is this netflix, or is this in the movie theater? Do you know stacy?
Speaker 4:no, it's like a series a series okay so I don't know if it's netflix, but it's on some streaming okay um, so it's, uh, robert zemeckis who did forrest gump, um and other things, probably also with tom hanks and robin wright, and um, it looks so good. So the little one line description here multiple generations of couples and families inhabit the same home over over the course of a century, and so that's how they show. You know them really young and then aging, and I am just I can't wait to see it, just from again.
Speaker 4:You know they've. I don't in the movie industry. I don't know how they make movies like this. There's so many things about Forrest Gump I don't know how they you know it's all animation that doesn't look like animation. That little, that feather that would you know bounce through the air at certain times in Forrest Gump. I just think it's going to be a really cool movie from the effects standpoint and it's going to just look like regular everyday life. It's going to be good, right. So when they're, really young.
Speaker 3:I wonder if that's ai, because it looks like them. Yes, you know what I mean. So if that's a part of the effects, if that's really what movie effects are, is it ai? Yeah, and that's that's a question.
Speaker 4:I don't know how they do that. How fascinating for the two of them, as actors who had such iconic roles together, to be able to do a series like this and see themselves together young again and then older. I don't know. I can't wait. So November 1st, there you go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, there are a lot of good ones coming up. I'm excited for winter viewing, yeah there are.
Speaker 3:I think we're going to have a whole show and talk about some new stuff, yep, okay. Well, I think we're going out. Sign out of this one. Thanks everyone who always listens and watches and shares and follows us and everything everything right.
Speaker 4:Thanks for being here, yeah all right bye in here, yep.
