Summary

Kelly and Chip get curious (and a little cheeky) about what our bodies reveal without us ever saying a word. From the truth about eye contact to whether “resting face” really sends the wrong message, they explore the everyday signals we all miss—and how to spot them. Inspired by their recent chat with expert Adrianne Carter, this is body language decoded in a way that’s equal parts fun, relatable, and surprisingly useful.

This is an IHeart podcast.

0:15.3

Well, good morning, sunshine.

0:17.3

Good morning.

0:18.7

I have been on a string of morning podcast and it's it feels very like,

0:25.1

well, let's see how it goes. It's kind of like, let's fuck around and find out, you know,

0:29.6

because I'm so. It's funny. We're both holding our coffees too. As I say that, we're both

0:33.8

sipping on our coffee. I actually enjoy it because it just gets my day going,

0:38.4

you know, and also there's not all the things that happen throughout your day. So then you're

0:42.9

going into a recording at the end of the day, like stressed or anything like that. But my brain

0:47.1

just does not fire exactly the same in the morning. Like sometimes you know you're just having that

0:52.2

moment where you can think the word, but you can't get it to come out of your mouth. I've been up for a couple of hours. So I'm hoping my brain is turned on. It's crazy how fast two hours. Like I woke up, I was like, oh, I have two hours. And then I was like, wait, I have five minutes. Where the fuck did all that talk go? In the morning, I know. My boyfriend makes fun of me because like if we have to be somewhere by nine, he's like, so you need to get up at 5.30. Because I am such a like, I want to have the slow morning. I love a slow morning. And if I don't get my slow morning, it just kind of throws my whole day off. Because I have like rituals, you know, like I wake up, I do a meditation, I do my guasha. What is guasha? It's like a stone that you massage your face. So I'm trying to think of it. It's like, massage your face to get your limbs to drain. Got it. You know how when you wake up some mornings and your face just looks swollen? It's just backed up fluid, basically. So it really also kind of like sculpts your face. And, you know, I've been off Botox, as I was telling you guys. So I haven't done it. I think it's been like eight or nine months is what I ended up figuring out. And there's a lot of different things happening to my skin. But that's okay. Like I'm just, I'm trying to adjust. I also just needed a reset. Like I'm not sure I'm never going to get Botox again. It's just more of that. I needed it all to kind of fade out to have a fresh start. So I've been doing things like face.. See what you're working with. Yeah, kind of see where I'm at at 43. So I've been doing face tape at night, gwash it in the morning. I do this little like face gym, these exercises also. So I'm sipping all my coffee, doing all the things. And my boyfriend's like, okay, so I'll see you in two hours.

2:38.4

We need video of you doing your face exercises.

2:40.6

Oh, God, it's so embarrassing.

2:47.6

But I swear, I don't know if it's placebo effect or what, but when I'm doing it, I swear it does tighten everything up and kind of like wake up your face in a way. I mean, it would make sense. Like your face is like 47 muscles or something. Like, how do you know that? Because I listened to your podcast. Or maybe it wasn't your podcast. Did I tell you that? Because I don't even know that. Maybe it wasn't your podcast. Maybe it was her TED talk.

3:09.8

Oh, the body language expert said that? Yeah.

3:10.5

Oh, interesting.

3:11.9

Okay.

3:12.6

Yeah, and your face can make 1600, like, it can make 1600, I think, facial expressions.

3:19.3

What kind of stats guy are you today?

3:21.2

Oh, well, statistician over here.

3:23.2

Wow.

3:25.1
