And when has us watching the last of us. Oh, yeah. I want that game so bad. When? Oh, no, it's play. I can't get it on X. Drat. That is really good. It is a creepy, creepy. I think I screamed in the last episode that we watched. I screamed twice. Was that the finale for the season? The finale? What's it supposed to be? The finale? What's funny about that? Two? No, it starts off very strong. It's. It's. That was episode two that we watched. Pillar. How many are there? Hey, welcome back to the she Said, she Said podcast. I am Pam Prior, author, speaker, cfo, and I balance the books in our home and marriage of 33 years. 34. 34. Give me credit for that extra. I don't do math in my head. And I'm Deb Reinhardt, corporate executive, executive coach, and most of the time, I balance, Pam. Most of the time. Most of the time. We had some balance these last couple weeks. We did. What did we do? We. We went to the Outer Banks. You didn't say we went on vacation. I didn't say. No, it was not. It wasn't a total vacation because we worked every day. We both worked, but we went to the Outer Banks and stayed at an amazing, amazing, amazing house that was right on the water in Nags Head. Three stories, nine bedrooms, nine and a half bathrooms. It wasn't just us. No, no, no, no. All of my brothers and sisters and their spouses, plus. Plus a couple of nieces and nephews. Couple of nephews and friends and nephews and their significant others. And a couple of little littles. Little Littles. Yep. 10, 10 and 11, I think was the youngest we had. But the cool thing was there was 19 people in this house, which had basically three floors. Yeah, three floors. Yeah. And the floor space was such that I really liked it because even though there were 19 people in the house, you didn't feel it. Like we literally were together all for half an hour to eat Easter dinner. Right. And then for like 30 minutes to stage and 2 seconds to take a full family photo. Right. But other than that, it was like little pockets of three or four people. People in various and sundry places. Yeah. So it's really the way to do it because this is how Wen's family goes on vacation, because you get one on one time with people that way. Like when you're there for a week. I did. I walked. I took a long walk on the beach with each of my siblings. Oh, that's kind of cool. And with me, I Went once. I. I went with Mike by himself. I went with Susie by herself, and I went with Johnny and April. Nice. And then we actually. I keep saying. As if that should be the most important one. Yeah, well, you know, it just took you a long time for me to. Coerce it to come out because I made a nest. I can make a nest anywhere. Freaking anywhere. It was awesome. They had this settee thing. Settee. Where did that come from? I don't know, but that is the wrong word. Oh, my God. That's a throwback. What do you call those couches? That. Or like Trish's? Yeah, they have a lot. They have a modular couch. What do you call those? Trish? Yes. It was a. It was. You go upstairs. She went sectional. Yes, sectional. That's it. It was a sectional. And there was a corner. And it was perfect because there was an outlet right behind there. And there was a table right up here. So I had my coffee, my water, my beer, tv. Right. And then over here, I had all my electronics on the left. And it was just a perfect nest. I settled in there. I think it became the permanent image of the week. So that was cool. But I had the ocean out behind me. I could walk three steps to be out on the balcony. It was really, really, really nice. We had good weather. We had great weather. And the water, surprisingly, was quite. It was comfortable, like they said the water temperature was like 58, but it was not painful to walk through. So April in the Outer Banks felt like when we used to go to the shore in Delaware in, like, early June. We went in. We didn't call it an ice bath. We didn't either. It was just. That's how you saw it. They called it the polar plunge. They did. I know. It wasn't polar. It wasn't too polar. No, it was. It was chilly. In fairness, neither of us totally went in. You kind of went pretty far in accidentally. Yeah, that was. Well, that was just walking along the beach. I tend to stray away from when the tide's coming in. I love the feel of water under. Over my body. I just love it. So you got good and wet along with your jeans? I did, but that was fine. And then, let's see. What. Any other big things. Oh, that was, like, the only thing we did. Oh. I did go on a little bit of a rant about pharmacies. And I don't know why pharmacies come up on this show a lot. I think it's because I have so. Much trouble with it. But here's the thing, folks, this is free advertising. Support your local pharmacies. So I forgot a medicine and I was going to have asked when to ship it to me, but when very appropriately looked up, you know the law and that's kind of illegal to ship drugs through the. Yeah, you know, air. So they said, hey, but you just call your pharmacy and they'll ship it to your. To a pharmacy down there or they'll have. Have some pills done. So I've moved to a local pharmacy up here because I just got tired of CVS and Rite Aid. I'll call them Rite Out. You guys need to fix your phone trees because they're ridiculous. Both of them get me trapped in a. In a catch 22. So, like, initially when I was there, I like, oh, I'll just call the cvs. It's right down the street. And I dialed it and it starts with, please give me your birthday so I can find your prescription. And I'm thinking, you're not going to find my prescription. And I'm going to go through this whole tree. Yeah. And like, can't there be an option to just talk to a human? Just say. Just say representative. No, representative doesn't work at cvs. If you go through the end or you try and cut it goes. Please leave us a message and we'll call you back. That's all you can get at cvs. You can't talk to a human anymore. Impossible. Right. Aid you still can get a human. But anyway, so I called a local pharmacy down there called. Darn it, I forget. Oh, my stomach's growling. I hope the mic doesn't pick that up. All right, it won't called. I think it's called Island Pharmacy. And a man, the pharmacist, picked up the phone and said, hi, welcome to so and so. Can I help you? And I said, yeah. I said, I forgot my drugs. He goes, oh, how long are you down here for? Can just give me your pharmacist's name? I'll call him. We'll take care of it. Or him or her. We'll take care of it. I'll text you when it's ready. Boom, boom, boom, boom. He texted me, he called. I went into this place. Dog walker must be here. Murphy's barking. I went into this place and it's a gift shop. A really nice little gift shop, like a Hallmark store kind of thing. You know what? That's what the pharmacy was like in my hometown. Was it really like you're normally like the drugstore, but it was a Gift shop. Yeah, it was. There was. I mean, the drugstore. There was a drugstore in the back. There was a pharmacy, but it was. But it was all gifts. Yeah, that's what we had in our. In my. In my hometown. It was really cool. And the guy was nice and the woman working with him behind the counter was nice. And you can tell they love what they do. That's awesome. And now what's happening at these big corporations, this is me just bashing is they're beating these people to death. Like they have them work extra hours. They thin out. How many pharmacists are there? And they're really good people, but they're like just. They're overworked. They can't. They get no break. They're on the phone. They're. They get a half an hour. It's always like they get a half. An hour break and everybody's yelling at them because like CBS has all. And Right. They have all these rules that are legitimate rules, but like they can't make any tiny exceptions even like they can't do anything. Yeah. So anyway, that's my. I don't know why I went off on that, but neither. It wasn't one of our top. Clearly stood out for you in that week of time. I think in this world of high tech, which I love, like going to AI and I probably save two to four hours a day because of AI anymore. I think we're going to crave that human touch. I love talking to humans. We actually have a live. Talking to humans even when they. Even when it's in a frustrating situation. I love talking to him. You do? I do. I do. Not as much, but we actually have a live studio audience today. We do. And this brings to mind that the main player in our live studio audience who is Trish Shallenberger, who's the founder of a Soldier's Hand. Soldier's Hands. Check it out on Facebook if you go to. And the website or a soldiershance.org but she. When we started this foundation. 15 years ago. Years ago. No, 17, 18. The kids were little a lot of years ago. Yeah. Trish, how long ago was it? 18 years. Because Katherine just finished her first year of college. College. So anyway, Trish said two things. She said we are always going to hand tie the ribbons on these gifts that we send the soldiers and sailors and we're always going to handwrite thank you notes and has stuck to those guns forever. And I think she was prescient with that. I mean, I honestly think that was really Important. It takes more time, but it also brings in more volunteers to help write them. But I think those things like handwriting and people talking to you on the phone are going to become more and more important. Those things matter. Yeah, Those things matter even more so now, I think. Yeah. Because I could literally do my. Because you don't get it in there in your days. Yeah. I can do my whole job with just one zoom call a month with a client and that would suck. Yeah. So anyway, that's beside the point, so. Oh, I know what we were going to talk about today. Not pharmacies. No. Not cvs. Not writing. Not normally been my go to television shows. What we've been watching. Oh, yes. So we're getting to actually re. Watch Pit right now. The Pit. The Pit. The Pit. Sorry. Because our live studio audience, the Pit, has not seen it yet, so we're not going to spoil anything. No, but it's phenomenal if you're. I think everybody in the world knows about it now and is watching it, but if you're not. The thing that's really cool about this is that all the doctors and nurses say it's real. Yeah. I gotta say, this is like one of the few times where, like, I've gotten to the end of a season and I'm pissed off because there's no other season to go to. Like, I, like, I've never been that person. I don't watch it in a lot. Just. I don't watch TV a lot to do that. But this. This thing, this binging, this binging thing, like when they release a season, you know. Well, they didn't do that with Pit. But they didn't do that. But you know what I mean, When. When we've gotten some shows where we've been able to watch, like five or six in a row. Like, I never. I've never really experienced that before because I just don't watch enough. But they. I find that that creates a knee, like, real frustration when the next show's not there. Well, this is what I remember. We used to have to wait a week. I ranted a little bit and you. Could only watch it at the hour that it was done because we didn't have recording devices. So you had to, like, be home to watch the show on the day at the hour that the show was being aired. I've actually went on a little rant because I got aggravated every week that I had to wait another week for the show and I threw a little tantrum that said, why are we going back to the 80s. Because you can drop a whole season. It's. Why not just wait and drop the whole season? But they've gone back to the 80s. But I'll tell you what, it's worked because everybody talks about every episode every week. And I'll bet you this is going to be a new trend. I mean, there are White Lotus podcasts. There are. That's the other one. We've been watching White Lotus. Yeah, we watched Severance till it was over. That was good. And I do. I think it's going to be a new thing because these. These shows now all think about all three of those. Yeah, they all started dropping one at a time. I don't know what marketer came up with the idea, but as much as I hate it, it was smart. Gotta build the hype. Because every weekend we're like, oh, what drops? Just building up the excitement. Will Trent. We've watched Will Trent. I enjoy that show. I think that dropped the whole season, didn't it? I don't know. No, it did not. No, it didn't. Yeah. Will Trent is good. We watch and love two little oddball things that if you're not watching, you should. One is called Wild Front. Wild. Wild Homestead. Are you talking about Wild Homestead? Yep. Okay, so now we've moved out of, like. We've moved out of major, like, streaming, and we're now into YouTube. I think the line blurs. I don't think the line blurs. I think the line blur. YouTube's as big a streaming channel as these other. I just don't. Yeah, but it's not. But the production is like a different. It's a prediction. Different production. Yeah, it is. I'm not. I'm not saying, dude, James Aloft, that you do not have great production on the Wild Homestead, because you do. But it's all you. But it is just him, bless his heart. Which is actually kind of why I like it. You're right. It's a little different. But the thing I like about that is that he really is filming himself. There's not a film crew there. I don't even know how he feels. I don't know him and Cecilia. I don't know how they do it. They spend a lot of time setting up cameras. I. It's got to be an immense amount of time. Plus they might have some that are preset forever, like, so they can always use them. So anyway, just to kind of give everybody the. The sense of this. So James Aloft, who was a commentator and he speaks fluent Mandarin and he Lived a corporate life for a while. He literally took everything he had. Dropped himself in the wilderness in Canada. Bought 48 boy band in Japan. That was the thing that like made him that, that made him that like made it happen for him. Yep. Dropped himself in the wilderness and said, I'm just going to come with nothing. He basically had a tent and a hammer and a coffee pot and built everything that he's going to do on this land. And it took him the whole year to build his first cabin. Yep. And so you get to see that whole evolution. And then now he's getting ready to build a sauna and then build the main house sauna and he bathes in the river every day in. He chips the ice away to go into the water. In the winter he chips the ice to go in and do his thing. And I don't know, they got so many feet of snow. I like that is. That's hardcore. I mean it's beautiful. It is hardcore. But it is hardcore to live that way because he does not yet have running water. Yeah, like when he built this log cabin, he built like, I don't know, five logs up and. And he doesn't know any of this stuff. He's studying it or learning it from people who are feeding back. And he built it up and realized he messed up because who knows, who would have thought the bottom of the tree is a little thicker than the top of the tree log. So you have to alternate. You have to alternate them. And he had not done that. And then so now he's a little more careful about everything he does. But man, he is a perfectionist. Like, but if you think about it, that's all he has to do. Film and do stuff perfectly and take. Care of his Swiss mountain dog Clovis and his build. So anyway, that's very cool. And if you're not watching it wild, there's actually a really good summary of the whole first year. So you don't have to watch 52 episodes. It's like an hour. It's like one and one and a half, two hour summary of the whole season, which is cool. And the other one, Cecile, you both. Had the, the life on Svalbard and love her. Love. What is her Svalbard. Svalbard is a, a set of islands that is, that is near the North Pole and it's north of Norway and it is. They have polar, polar nights and polar days, which means months on. Well, the sun sets like the sun sets for the last time. I don't know in like October and then the sun does not rise again until like March. Yep. It's crazy. Like it never gets above the horizon. So. But it's fascinating. Fascinating. Like. So they are inhabiting this island with some small number of people and polar bears and reindeer and their dog Grim. And their dog Grim, who I love. And I don't know. The. The houses are really fall apart. The. The landscape is just stunning. Stunning. But not just because of like the snow and the ice and the water which is. The water is like Caribbean blue. But the night sky has. Or the day sky. They have all these really cool colors because of the half sunset or never sunset. It's like the sun, you can tell gets like just about to the horizon and it turns this beautiful purplish thing. They just. And then they have the aurora. Yeah. And then. And the colors that are cast over the offer over the snow are just fascinating. But I. I mean it's a beautiful place. And she's a film. Very cold filmer. So she. Yeah, she. So she's doing this as a vlog and she finally hit a million viewers. Yeah. So I don't know how many John Aloft has. I don't know. James. James. A love. Sorry, James, but those are our. So White Lotus Pit. The pit. Yeah, the pit. Two T's. Yeah. Will Trent. Severance. Will Trent. Yep, yep. Svalbard or Cecilia. And then when has us watching the last of us. Oh yeah. I want that game so bad when it's play. I can't get it on X. That is really good. It is a creepy, creepy. I think I screamed in the last episode that we watched. I screamed twice. Was that the finale for the season? The finale. What's it supposed to be? The finale? What's funny about that? Episode two. No, it starts off very strong. It's. It's. That was episode two that we watched. Killer. How many are there? I don't know if we know that yet. Oh my God. I was sure. What's the right word? What? Finale. Finale. What's so funky about that? People say finale. Oh, do they? Yeah. Forgive me. In just the English. I thought it was a little. To be very finale of you. You are a shithead. That's all I have to say. What's your greatest of all time TV shows For each of you guys. Tv, not movie. Yeah. We'll start with. Oh, God. I mean you have to put it in the context of time, right? No, just greatest of like now what's the. Not. Not like at the time. Like in its time. It was the Greatest. Ted Lasso. Ted Lasso is my favorite. Ted Lasso is my favorite. So Sopranos. Yours is Ted Lasso. Yeah. Because like, Sopranos is a masterpiece in filmmaking. I mean, it. Yeah. It's just the, the content. The content. I can't like Ted Lasso. I just feel every bit of that. What's yours? One. And Trish, you're gonna have to answer too. Or live audience. You're gonna have to answer too. It's hard because there's like a. Oh, I could watch this show a gazillion times. It's my comfort show. Got it. There's a, like the Gilmore Girls and Lindsay. Right. This is the best made show. Like you were saying with the Sopranos. Like, but like, which of those would bubble up for you as the best? I would have to say mash. That's the one that comes to mind. That's a classic. Oh, that's a classic. The one that, like, the first one that came to my head was, but then you said Ted Lasso. That was really good. But if you put them next to each other, I think I'd have to say MASH was the best. But it was also long running. It was a very long running show. Yep. Trish, how about you? I think I'd say Ted Lasso too. Ted Lasso. Yeah. There you go. When you're still out. Yeah, I, I, I don't. Yeah. Jury's out. You're not participating? I don't think I, I can give you. You don't get a participation award then. I don't. Okay. That was good. All right. Well, that's fun. No games today, right? I only have one game. Oh, dear. Speaking about actors and, and celebrities and movies and TV shows, we're going to play a game where I'm going to tell you the name of a popular celebrity baby, either a couple or may just be known for one parent. And you're gonna guess who the parents are. Oh, boy. This is not good. So one, you have to know who the baby belongs to. And two, couple, which is also kind. Of God, which is hard, but you'll. Know some of them. Okay, good. You feel confident we're not gonna look ridiculous? I'm not feeling, I'm not feeling this. Francis, do you know the answers on all these already? I'm playing with you. Okay. Oh, good. Oh, all right. So we can call on you in a jam. You can sit right here and play. With us and our live studio audience. I'll be your phone, a friend. Okay, perfect. Oh, I love that.

No, no, the answer to that is wrong. To me, they're the same. Ozzy Osborne and Frank Zappa. It's all disease. Okay. Probably the only weird one I know. Next is Apple. I knew that. Gwyneth Paltrow.

I just don't know that. Just don't know. Here's the problem with Bing. I can't go Bing. I have to be really aggressive and go bingo in order to get it in. All right, here we go. Next one.

That's a wild person. Let's ask Chat GPT. We want to know that before we close out. Yeah, we have to chat GPT. Michael Jackson's children's names. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I may just be thinking that he always had a blanket. Or maybe it was the name, right? No, no, it's Paris, Biggie and Prince. Prince, really? There's no blanket. The first one was Prince. There's no blanket. Is there any chap name Blanket? There's a Chuck. I'm like, so with you on that, I can't even get it out of my head. Yeah, you immediately. It may just.
