Speaker 3:It's thankful season, so I'm counting on you.
Speaker 2:I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you, and so I'm counting my blessings.
Speaker 3:How's yours? It's good yeah.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 3:Just trucking along. Okay, I'm actually really excited because next week we'll have our like a guest on the podcast that we don't know personally but we reach out to because she's really funny on Instagram and we love her story and we love how the way she tells stories. So she's going to be on our next bad date episode.
Speaker 2:Yeah, stay tuned, bad dates. Part two is coming.
Speaker 3:If you want to give her a follow beforehand so you can kind of check her out. Her Instagram is at limp brusket. We'll put it in the while. It's LIMP BROOZKIT.
Speaker 2:She's great.
Speaker 3:Can't wait for that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So we're excited about that. Yes, but okay, keith and I were talking a couple of days ago and I don't even remember why this came up, but I was like I don't know the last time I've heard someone describe someone in this way and is this something we're still doing? Okay, calling someone metrosexual.
Speaker 2:I literally thought about this Did you A month ago, because somebody said it and I thought that seems outdated.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what's the, what's the status? Like it used to be so commonly used.
Speaker 2:People love to call he's so metro.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's not gay, he's just metro.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:People love to say about that, about their husbands and the like.
Speaker 2:Early 2000s yeah, did any of them end up gay, I don't know. Yeah, I think now we just like accept the fact that, like men, can be feminine and not have to be called something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I guess that's what's happened, which is great.
Speaker 2:We can celebrate that, and not have to be under any sort of anything.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because of that yeah.
Speaker 1:What a win.
Speaker 2:I know what a win that we're not using metro anymore.
Speaker 3:I know I really haven't heard that Someone used it.
Speaker 2:I can't remember who used it, but someone used it and I thought to myself like I haven't heard someone say that in a long time and I feel like that is somewhat outdated these days.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like now. You would just say oh.
Speaker 3:Like I wonder if someone from Gen Z would even know what that means.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 3:Interesting.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to think of someone that, like our mom, used to always describe as Metro other than our father. Yeah, like literally. She used to always say that he was Metro because he like, loved a pair of like good loafers and love to decorate a mantle. He loves, he makes, he makes a great Christmas mantle.
Speaker 1:He does and he does Okay.
Speaker 2:On the topic of his shoes, Meredith was in the shoe department with her daughter and her daughter picked up a pair of women's loafers and goes mom, granddaddy, has these shoes.
Speaker 3:And I have never once like talked about his shoes to her or anything. It was like just an observation, which it was amazing. It was so good.
Speaker 2:I was very validated.
Speaker 3:I let him know immediately yeah, it was, it was very funny, oh man. But yeah, that was, I don't know. Yeah, Close case.
Speaker 2:No longer a thing. I mean, I don't think it's like derogatory.
Speaker 3:No, I think it's just like, like you said, unnecessary.
Speaker 2:Because people are just accepting of people without the label Different types of masculinity. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's interesting and that like you can do those things.
Speaker 3:And not be gay.
Speaker 2:Well and like, still be masculine.
Speaker 3:Oh right, so it's.
Speaker 2:I mean, there really is like this open box of how you can be as a person in these days. Yeah, I remember being told, like my whole childhood, that I was such a tomboy, which was like celebrated.
Speaker 1:Is that still a term?
Speaker 3:People are using. I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I can't imagine describing a child as a tomboy.
Speaker 3:I've never heard like a fellow parent describe a kid there.
Speaker 2:I know I would just like I feel like you just describe what they're into.
Speaker 3:You don't have to like put it in a box anymore. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Which I'm yeah it is, it's good, it's cool, but okay, tonight I wanted to talk about because okay, let me back up I wanted to talk about MLMs because I was at a birthday party this past weekend and the topic got brought up of an MLM that like scammed.
Speaker 3:What's an MLM if for?
Speaker 2:Multi-level marketing yes, aka pyramid scheme.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's like a sophisticated pyramid scheme.
Speaker 1:Yes, sometimes.
Speaker 3:Sometimes it's legit.
Speaker 2:Okay, first let's talk through. How do you know if an MLM is legit, a the person is not pushed to recruit? Yeah, I think that's like the first bad sign.
Speaker 3:Well, no, not that they're not pushed because you can be pushed to recruit an MLM. But a pyramid scheme, you can pick it. You can know that it's a pyramid scheme if you can only make money if you recruit.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes.
Speaker 3:I sold beauty counter first like a stint after having my first daughter and I never recruited anyone and I made like I Made money, big bucks, but I never was like in debt to the company.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, like I made well, that's another, that's so, that's another bad sign is if they make you buy product up front. Yeah, yeah which we learned from all of the documentaries.
Speaker 3:Yes, I love, I love, I know, so anyway, so you're out of thing.
Speaker 2:Okay yeah. So I was at a birthday party and we were talking about how my friends sister-in-law went on a bachelorette party and they did one. I've like feel like I can't say names because I don't want to like talk bad about any of them, but they, they. It was like the sex party one. That's super popular. Where you like, buy the sex toys and the person throwing the party gets a bunch of money off their sex toy.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm and they all. It was like for the bride. So everyone bought something to get like to help the bride out, I guess.
Speaker 3:I don't like bought them something for themselves because the bride was gonna get. A bride gets discounts.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm and apparently the girl Literally robbed them all Wait what do? You mean Like she literally never got their stuff. They all paid her and none of them ever got their sex toys. Their dildos never came in the mail, so did she. Was she just like pot? Did they come with cat? Well then they looked her up and she like had been kicked out of like. That's don't you see, I don't know.
Speaker 3:So she said, listen, this is an appearance scheme and I'm gonna get my bag anyway, I can yeah because I Spent $5,000 on dildos and I've got him. I've got to either move this inventory or I just got a rob. Some people.
Speaker 2:But we were all joking saying that my friend's mother-in-law should do that as her like retirement job, because she's just like a very chill, educated, she like has worked in Like OB or labor and delivery. She's a nurse.
Speaker 3:So that would be a fun retirement job.
Speaker 2:I'm like it's the perfect retirement job for you.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So we're, we're never been to one of those parties.
Speaker 2:I haven't either, but I found out one without knowing it was one no mom I I don't know if it was a Like one of those parties or if it was literally just like a group of people that got together for a dinner park and they give each other sex toys. I think that is that's what happened, and then they didn't know when she opened up the present and thought it was a soap dish and it like soap dish.
Speaker 3:What was it?
Speaker 2:I think like a textured Rubby thing.
Speaker 1:Okay and she thought it was like something you.
Speaker 2:You put your soap on and apparently she was like, oh my gosh, I've been needing one of these. And dad was like stop, don't say that she didn't know.
Speaker 1:And then I think she found out when the never opened the present and it was like Way more weird.
Speaker 2:What do you call?
Speaker 3:it obvious Follett, follett. Oh, that's so funny, I know.
Speaker 2:But it made me think about this time that I've had a couple MLM experiences.
Speaker 3:You got into that one Wait which one?
Speaker 2:There's two, I don't want to say the name. What does that have to do with?
Speaker 3:it. I don't remember. They sold all kinds of stuff, products, right, all kinds of products.
Speaker 2:So she wouldn't leave me alone. Do you want? To give me a sell under her and she gave me this gift basket of all of the products. It literally broke. I was allergic to whatever she gave me. My face broke out in tons of tiny little bumps and they were so itchy and at TBH I was thankful because that was my way out, oh yeah.
Speaker 3:I was like I risked it. You were very stressed for the week.
Speaker 2:I can't tell people no.
Speaker 1:If you know me.
Speaker 2:You would know that something like this would really stress me out that I didn't know how to tell her. You wouldn't even ghost her. I know she was nice. They're always nice unless they're bullies from high school. This girl was actually really nice, so I didn't want to be like. This is a scam. You're trapped, but so she gave me the gift thing and then you feel like you have to do it if they gave you product.
Speaker 2:Right, right, right and that was my way out, though I was like, oh, thank God, I got a rash. Sorry, I'm allergic to all the products. I can't do it. I can't promote something that I can't use.
Speaker 3:She didn't tell you to keep using it because that's your body's way of working out all the toxins, because that's what they low key kind of told us to tell people on Beauty Counter which.
Speaker 2:Beauty Counter is like it's actually very good stuff, but we are not dermatologists. We were at my niece's baptism this Sunday and they like put the oil on their head and it like smelled really good. When we got my niece back we were like, ooh, she smells like thieves oil and my sister-in-law was like young living, is that? You Does this?
Speaker 3:church use young living. Imagine, oh my gosh, they'd be working in the dough if every Catholic church got on board. All the priests are like young living reps.
Speaker 2:Oh my gosh, Isn't that the one where the dude like fed his kids oils and like tried to do like a very-.
Speaker 3:He like got his medical degree in like a South American country, and then there was like practicing medicine and Wasn't legit, he'll die on his watch.
Speaker 2:I was going to say his kid died on his watch. He like tried to do a home birth, home birth.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yee. And now he's like live in large yeah.
Speaker 2:I think he died.
Speaker 3:Oh, he did Interesting.
Speaker 2:Or maybe he's on the run. One of them Once again.
Speaker 3:I don't really know, those are really the only two ends for like a pyramid scheme guy, like the big crumb dude yeah, he's like on the run.
Speaker 2:So, anyways, that was one of the ones I got roped into, and the other one was a workout one and I got roped into that one twice.
Speaker 3:No, I don't know how I didn't learn about this.
Speaker 1:I don't know, about this In the first time, twice.
Speaker 2:In the first time it was new and I literally had to watch. This is how long ago this was. I literally had to watch the workout On a DVD. Like things on DVDs on my DVD player in my bedroom and I'd be like working out upstairs at mom and dad's house in my bedroom with, like my DVD player and my tiny ass TV. That's so funny. And then, after having some, someone prayed on me and like got me to some girl I didn't even know.
Speaker 3:Oh, I kind of remember this, but she was nice too.
Speaker 2:I think that's what gets me.
Speaker 3:That's the key. The people are super nice.
Speaker 2:And I'm like, wow, I can do this. And then you pay them a bunch of money and then I dropped off after like three weeks.
Speaker 3:Did you so? How much money did you lose?
Speaker 2:Like 150.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you win some, you lose some.
Speaker 2:And I did it for three weeks.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Some gems cost like a dollar a calorie. So you got roped into beauty counter but you actually made money off of that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I didn't get roped in. I very much wanted to.
Speaker 2:Well, and you got in on that in the beginning before, like anyone was into it, like you were the first person that told me about it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was relatively new, but I really liked the stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And I wasn't. The person you recruited me was not trying hard.
Speaker 2:I was like I want to do this. They're still reputable, yeah, like if you haven't crashed and burned yet as an MLM, not that they are one.
Speaker 3:They know they are. That's what they say. They are MLMs like, not pyramid schemes are illegal. Mlms are not illegal. Lula row was a pyramid, yes and a lot of pyramid schemes say they're MLMs because MLM is legal but it's MLM just means that it's like you make money off of other people below you.
Speaker 2:So what is a pyramids? What's the difference? Pyramids, these?
Speaker 3:scheme is like them. It's like formatted in a way that the people at the top make a very small percentage, are making the the vast majority of the company's wealth.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:Where the young, the people at the bottom of the pyramid, are not making any money and actually have like they're.
Speaker 1:No, this is what it is.
Speaker 3:What it is, the people at the top are making money off of the people at the bottom. Reps like it's. The product is not making the money company the company money Okay.
Speaker 2:So yeah, you had to pay like $3,000. In the documentary I remember seeing that people were like forking over their entire savings and stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I think is I think, as long as it's like a specific percentage is your, do you have to have a certain percentage of your income coming from your actual product to not be a pyramid scheme? Okay, okay.
Speaker 2:So I think, I think what's up on the scheme.
Speaker 3:Some of these things toe a really like thin line because I think there's a lot of MLMs that probably make like probably like very close to me off of like yeah, like they're making, but you do, you don't have to pay to be a rep, right? No, but you pay you. There is like a on boarding fee, like you pay like $80 for, like your website URL, okay, and then they give you like a massive discount $80 is so different than, oh yeah, $3,000.
Speaker 3:And then you get a dislike if a lot of people just sign up as a rep, because they get like a really huge discount for signing up as a rep that you wouldn't get otherwise. Okay, but then you don't lose any money really if you don't continue to sell.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:So it's it. I liked it. I just like got to the point where I I like sold to everyone I knew and didn't have any interest in like knocking on doors and selling to people I didn't know.
Speaker 2:It's funny think saying that, because I think back, our grandma sold a Ava and she was like Mary Kay, she was a big.
Speaker 3:She was a big Ava yeah, she got to go to Greece with them.
Speaker 2:Yeah she got some diamonds from them. She didn't get the Cadillac.
Speaker 3:No, but she. I have the diamond ring that she won from Ava dude.
Speaker 1:I didn't know. She went to Greece.
Speaker 3:She was like a high roller Okay.
Speaker 2:Can we talk about the Ava store on the road that you live on? Yeah, what?
Speaker 3:is that I don't know. I pass it every day. We should go someday.
Speaker 2:We should. We'll do some recon, because every time I pass it I'm like either it's these rich, these like rich old ladies that are running this and making money off of all the ladies facade or it is a yes. It's like laundering some.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I have no idea. It's very odd, but yeah, there's like a little tiny storefront.
Speaker 2:Of an Ava store and it's got like fake plants galore inside it. It's very interesting and like the lights are always shining bright on all the product. Like you can look in the windows from the street and see all the Ava product in there. It's so and like how is this long has that product been sitting there?
Speaker 3:I know right, I thought it went out of business. People use Ava. Is it a museum?
Speaker 2:People still use Mary Kay.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like big time I okay, but I was going to tell you.
Speaker 3:Did I ever tell you? Mimi? Facebook message me when I she found out I was selling beauty counter with all her sales tips.
Speaker 2:No wait that's so sweet it was.
Speaker 3:It was like make sure you make the sale in the room. It was like old school sales tips. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:I wonder I could still find the message. I love that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was cute, sweet Mimi, she's sales lady. I got roped into a Mary Kay. I feel like it's happened to all of us, but I had a Mary Kay party. She went to church with me. I went, I was the only one there and she did her whole pitch, mayor, just to me.
Speaker 2:Mayor.
Speaker 3:I bought a sample size mascara Wait, wait, wait wait.
Speaker 2:Oh God Was? Were other people invited?
Speaker 3:Yeah, and they just didn't know. One showed up who I just I don't love. I don't like to be flaky.
Speaker 2:So I know well, good for you and you bought something, but I'm sad for her and you I was.
Speaker 3:It was like I was sitting there, like I can't believe this is actually happening.
Speaker 1:There was this phase.
Speaker 3:She did the whole pitch, like I was, like there was 20 people in the room.
Speaker 2:Good for her. She was like this is good practice for me. I know, there was this phase where, like people were like selling chocolate, chocolate and they were called like chocolateeers.
Speaker 3:When was this?
Speaker 2:Like when I was in right after high school I guess Chocolate it was like chocolate.
Speaker 3:Are you sure it wasn't like the fundraiser you do in high school?
Speaker 1:No, because those were delicious.
Speaker 3:I come home with a box of chocolate bars and I'm pretty sure I bought like half of my own inventory.
Speaker 2:Like Mom, can I have $20? For what? Nothing, it's like for your own box of chocolate. No, I, oh my gosh, I will say one time my ex-boyfriend stole a giant Costco.
Speaker 1:The one that sold the ladies silver.
Speaker 2:No, this is a different one, the owl guy. Yeah, he went to a kid's birthday party His boss's kid's birthday party and took home Costco boxes of chips like they's chips. I don't know if he sold them or the boss gave them to him.
Speaker 3:How do you casually walk out of a party with a Costco sized box of chips? Maybe the boss gave them to him.
Speaker 2:Chips, okay, I don't really remember, but all I know is that he gave them to me and I took them to school and I sold them and I made like 40 bucks. We had so many chips. I was selling chips for like two months. It was great.
Speaker 3:With zero investment.
Speaker 1:Zero investment, not full profit.
Speaker 3:Full profit Good for you Off of a kid's birthday party Costco box of chips. Who were you selling to?
Speaker 2:Anyone that needed snacks. That's amazing I would just put like 10 in my backpack and I'd sell like almost all of them every day.
Speaker 3:Why weren't people going to vending machines? I think I was cheaper.
Speaker 2:I think I like, did it smart Good for you. Thanks, entrepreneurial bitch. Can't even say the word, did you have a business name? No, I should have. What would it have been?
Speaker 3:My creative juices are not currently flowing. I thought Chippy girl.
Speaker 1:Good one.
Speaker 3:Oh man, oh okay.
Speaker 2:Well, to end it, if you could start an MLM, what would you do? Like? What product would I sell? Yeah, and who would be-.
Speaker 3:I am friends with a person who married someone who is very wealthy and his dad made all the money, or he was like an early buy-in in a pyramid scheme. It's like a pyramid scheme that you hear about in all the documentaries, and he was one of the early adopters. I honestly don't know the name and what they sold was kind of random Interesting.
Speaker 2:But they're doing very well and they've like he didn't have to pay back any of the money.
Speaker 3:I mean, if you get in early, you only make money.
Speaker 2:No, but I mean they found out it was a pyramid scheme, he didn't have to get sued or pay anything, because I think Lula Roe people got sued.
Speaker 3:No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2:And he wasn't an owner.
Speaker 1:He was just like a salesperson.
Speaker 3:Those people were so strange? Oh yeah, they were so weird, so weird, and they were like Christians and had no idea that they were doing anything wrong. Yeah, it was. Yeah, they were volunteering to be on the documentary. It was so weird.
Speaker 2:Yes, it was so odd.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but okay, what would yours be? I don't know.
Speaker 2:I think mine would be-.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't want to do anything that has to do with like health, because that's too risky.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. I always think that I had like all the good ideas are already gone, but people think of new stuff all the time. You could do like MLMs of terrariums with snails in them. Oh my gosh, you could sell bugs for terrariums. What I'm looking at, your terrarium, but I'm thinking about I'm thinking about bugs. Well, I'm thinking Can you think about the store houses I'd have to keep? I'm thinking about your friend that was like I don't know where to get the bugs for my terrarium. I don't want to keep the bugs you could have. Can you imagine all the snails? It'd be kind of cute.
Speaker 3:I don't want that.
Speaker 2:Well, do snails eat? By the way, Because Decomposing things? Because you gave me that snail in the terrarium and he came out looking for food today and I was like I think he just needs to stir it, he'll be fine.
Speaker 3:Well, they'll like. I think they like suck on dirt, poor snail. No, they eat decomposing things, so they eat like-. So I need to put something dead in there, put a piece of fruit in there Like they'll eat a strawberry and you can put a little calcium powder on it if you've wanted to give them a little treat.
Speaker 2:I don't have calcium powder. Can I just stick a Tums in there?
Speaker 3:No, A Tums that's calcium. Yes, oh, maybe.
Speaker 2:That's why mom loves them. She's like it gets rid of your tummy ache and it's got extra calcium for your bones.
Speaker 3:I heard her say that she said that to me like three weeks ago. Oh my gosh. Okay, I don't want to sell bugs on an MLM model. I don't want to do that. That is solving a non problem. Okay, okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:This is going off track one more time, but do you remember what was the place called the pet store in our hometown?
Speaker 3:Roy's Aquarium. Roy's Aquarium yeah, disgusting Nightmares.
Speaker 2:I bought rats from there in high school.
Speaker 1:Why.
Speaker 2:I didn't realize it. They were like Feeding rats. Like the ones that snakes eat.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I like, wanted it to be my little pet.
Speaker 3:But is there a difference between one's snakes eat and one's better pets?
Speaker 2:I don't know, but he would smoke inside of the shop. So like all the pets were like not well.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:We bought these rats and it was me and my two friends and we took them home and day three they all started like bleeding out of their mouths and buttholes and mom and dad were out of town and I had to like figure out what to do with my internally bleeding pet rat. They probably hit a canker, and I had literally call Uncle Rand, who lives next door, our uncle, to be like. Can you please help me get rid of these rats, because I I would have just like put them down the hill.
Speaker 2:Mayor, I couldn't. I saw some like. If you would have seen it. It like is still in my head.
Speaker 3:I don't know, don't describe it. This is spooky. Season is over.
Speaker 2:So, anyways, talk about being held accountable, roy yeah. Roy, you gave lots of animals cancer with your smoking inside of your pet store.
Speaker 3:That place was creepy.
Speaker 2:And mom would take us there for like fun. Before it got weird, the Beaver was a small town. That wasn't what we had.
Speaker 3:That and Walmart, okay well what's your? Mlm.
Speaker 2:I don't know, Maybe like I don't know, Maybe like I keep thinking of something that already exists.
Speaker 3:When I watched a lot of Shark Tank I had business ideas come out the wazoo and I don't watch Shark Tank anymore.
Speaker 2:What was your business?
Speaker 3:I don't remember any of them.
Speaker 2:I remember thinking that I like as a kid I was like I saw a car wreck one time and I saw this girl's face that was super scratched up and I was like, oh my gosh, the airbag hurts worse than the car accident. I'm gonna make fluffy, cushy, sheepskin airbag covers.
Speaker 3:I was like that's what's fit inside of the car.
Speaker 2:For invention convention and I remember mom just being like no, or like she just like shot it down real fast.
Speaker 3:You know what mine was and I still stand by this. I designed and modeled out of that foam clay. This will be. This is how we're gonna round out this episode. Okay, this is an idea and I'm pretty sure I won honorable mention. Okay, it was a little like thing you put around your toothbrush, so when you're brushing your teeth as a kid, your like spit doesn't drip down on your hand Apparently that was an issue for me, yeah. But it was like a little cup Sensory queen. Yeah, it was a sensory thing, for sure.
Speaker 3:And also why was I drooling down my hand when I?
Speaker 2:was brushing my teeth. I don't know, but I remember that and I remember thinking like you're brilliant.
