Sabrina Ward HarrisonHi, it's Sabrina, and we are taking a week off for family. My mom's coming to visit me in Madison and Trent's off for a family reunion with his crew. We will be back on August 23rd. And for now, take a listen to some of our favorite things we just recently each have come across. Have a wonderful week. Bye.

Trenton Reynoldstwo of our favorite things each.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonOkay, yeah. I'm going to talk about food.

Alright, go for it.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonNo, I think you want to go first.

Trenton ReynoldsWell, why don't we switch off? I'll say one favorite thing, you say one favorite thing, and then I'll say another one.

Okay. Does that work? Yep.

Trenton ReynoldsLet me share my feelings with you about the Kivo lock. Have I told you about this?

- Tell me again.

Trenton Reynolds- Okay. The Kivo lock is a deadbolt lock that fits in your standard you know, deadbolt lock hole on a door. Fairly easy to install, but it does take a little bit of time, especially if your door is in as bad a shape as my studio door is.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonIt's like the circle thing that just goes through the...

Trenton ReynoldsIt's the deadbolt. So it's not the handle. It's just the little twisty... Okay. Yep. So you buy this lock. I got it on Amazon Prime Day or something like that, and it was on sale. But it's usually $200. I got it for $150. Okay. You install it and it has a regular key that you can use and just use it like a regular deadbolt lock. But it also has batteries that you put in there and it will connect to your phone so that when you walk up to the door, it senses your phone and you tap the side of it with your finger and it automatically opens the door. That's incredible. And you tap it again and it closes the door. So that's not that much easier than just, you know, using a key to open the lock. But the cool thing is that I can email a key to the guy that teaches a class here on Saturday mornings. He teaches from 10:00 to 1:00. So I can email him a key to this deadbolt lock. Oh my gosh. So his phone can tell the lock that he's okay to enter. And not only that, I can give it a time limit so he can only open that lock between the hours, between 9:30 in the morning and 1:30. - That's genius. - Because class is from 10 to one, yep. So I can give him access and then I can also of course revoke the key and or change the day and time and give them unlimited access or, you know, it's very flexible.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonThat's so on point.

Trenton ReynoldsYeah, isn't it? So, so very cool. And I just get a kick out of it just walking up to my door, tapping the side. Because you don't have to take your phone out of your pocket. You just leave it in there. You just tap the side of the thing. It opens up. Good. Love it. It's so worth it.

Yep. Yep.

Trenton ReynoldsSo that's the K-E-V-O, K-E-V-O, luck.

Okay.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonMine are a couple. One is... I don't know if you're familiar with Aziz Ansari, the comedian.

Yeah, for sure.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonOkay, so I don't know if you saw his Madison Square Garden special, but it's on Netflix.

I did. Okay, so...

Sabrina Ward HarrisonToday I found out in the news that Netflix glitched and replaced a nature show's subtitles with a Z's I'm sorry stand up.

Trenton ReynoldsHow does that happen? Is that for real or is that...

Sabrina Ward HarrisonI will send you right now. It's better than... It's just... It is just phenomenal. It shows you the screen grabs of how it matches up. Can you look at it now?

Trenton ReynoldsWhere are you sending it to me? I'm sending it to a text. Okay, I'm going to look at it.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonIt just puts things in perspective about how seriously we take ourselves.

Love them. Yeah. Those are awesome.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonWhat's another one for you?

Trenton ReynoldsI don't know if I've mentioned this before on the podcast, but I like to tell it to everybody. The Pentel brush pen. Have I mentioned that before?

Yeah. Oh.

Trenton ReynoldsPentel. Pentel brush pen.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonOh, my gosh. No.

Trenton ReynoldsNo, this has been around for a little while. And I think it was actually a Korean company that made it, and then Pentel bought them. Because when you buy them, they have a little, like, Korean... signature thing on the side. But essentially it is like a little, it's a pen, but the pen tip is like a brush. It bristles. So, and there are other brush pens out there, but this one just works extremely well. And you can buy the replacement cartridges if you run out of ink. But I've had the same Pentel brush pen for probably 10 years. And it's still as good as the day I bought it. And I use it a lot. It's fantastic. Fantastic. And so you can, like a brush, like a brush, any brush, you can get a really thick line all the way down to like a hair-thin line. So a tremendous amount of variety.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonThat is so helpful to know about. It's so hard to get good ones that don't split with a, you know, to keep it really...

Trenton Reynoldscrisp like that. Well, I can't promise there's Sabrina proof.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonRight. That's true.

Trenton ReynoldsThat's a pretty tall

Sabrina Ward Harrisonorder. It's very real. That's a very

Trenton Reynoldsreal thing. But this thing is fantastic. I love it and I recommend it to everybody I come across. The first, when you buy the pen, it's $13, so kind of pricey for a pen. And the refill cartridges, I can't remember but I think it's like five bucks for three refills or something like that not bad looking for it on Amazon see if I can find oh I'm sure they've got it about refills off Amazon before Pentel brush pen Yeah, I found it. Yeah. Pentel Arts Pocket Brush Pen includes two black ink refills. That's when you want to get $13.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonI'm going to order it right now.

Love it.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonLove it. By the way, God, Amazon Prime, my gosh. Woo, it's good.

It is so good.

Trenton ReynoldsI do enjoy me some fizzy water, so I'll definitely look into that.

Sabrina Ward HarrisonYeah, it's a really good thing. And then I just wanted to toss out that I really have been enjoying tilapia, the great healthy fish that you can get at Trader Joe's or at the grocery store. I buy a pack of it for $4.99.
