Pull up a chair and join the banter as Kelly Mizgorski and Ryan Frankowski, serve up a hearty mix of humor and insight on Mocktails Or Messy. The clink of glasses sets the stage as Kelly sips her cherished Chardonnay and I pour myself a riveting glass of non-alcoholic Lights van Goet. But our conversation isn't just a tipsy journey—it's a deep dive into the heart of workplace culture with psychological safety on the agenda. We're unwrapping the layers of what it means to speak your mind without the fear of retribution, in a world where your voice isn't just heard, it's valued.
As the drinks flow and our chat heats up, we switch gears to the gut-wrenching topic of postbiotics. Ever wondered what probiotics leave behind? Kelly schools us on the fascinating aftermath of these beneficial bugs, and how the leftovers might be the unsung heroes of gut health. She's not just talking out of her... well, you know—she's bringing the science to the table with a nod to the game-changing effects of fecal transplants. So, top off your glass, get comfortable, and raise a toast to explosive learning—without any of the mess. Cheers to not being a peasant in knowledge or in spirit!

Hi guys, this is Ryan Frankovsky and Kelly Misgorsky, and you're listening to Mocktails or Messy. What's going on, kelly?
Speaker 2I'm happy to be here, so I have some Chardonnay Kendall Jackson.
Speaker 1That's your go-to right.
Speaker 2It's my go-to. And what do you got?
Speaker 1I got the Chardonnay alcohol-free, and this is the Lights van.
Speaker 2Goet.
Speaker 1Lights van Goet. It's zero Chardonnay, non-alcoholic. This Chardonnay is from the latest addition to the Lights van Goet portfolio. It offers an original character that is, clean, fresh fruit citrus.
Speaker 2I'm going to open that for you and I'm going to pour it for you.
Speaker 1Pour a big, nice mocktail glass of that. I'm excited to try it. She said it was one of the best.
Speaker 2I gave you a very heavy pour.
Speaker 1It's amazing. I really love this one.
Speaker 2Can I smell it?
Speaker 1Yes, you can even try it if you want. I know you don't have any cooties. That's pretty good. Do you want to try it? No, no, no, no. Oh, you don't like to mix?
Speaker 2No, I don't share drinks or food. I'm actually food aggressive.
Speaker 1What's food aggressive?
Speaker 2Remember last week, when I wouldn't share my appetizer with anyone.
Speaker 1Oh yes.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm like food aggressive. There's dogs that'll rip your face off If you try to touch their food bowl. I identify with those dogs.
Speaker 1Well, don't touch your food, or she could bite.
Speaker 2You Don't you ever try to touch my food.
Speaker 1Oh, she's aggressive. I like it.
Speaker 2Food aggressive.
Speaker 1We are blacked out today with our black on black silky vibes.
Speaker 2Okay, so I looked up trending searches for March and one of them, here we'll start with, is psychological safety. Have you heard of this before? No, so psychological safety means that you're feeling safe to take interpersonal risks, to speak up, to disagree openly, to surface concerns without fear of negative repercussions or pressure to sugarcoat bad news. So I don't know. I feel like when I was in the workforce I don't know that I had like the psychological safety per se.
Speaker 2It's all like you have to like, please the boss. Right, it's not about me, it's about doing a good job at work and pleasing the boss. But now everybody, you know, has a voice. I sound like a boomer.
Speaker 1right now I do feel like I have Zelenio. I feel like I don't want to have this kind of dynamic, because sometimes your leader or your manager that was put in that role is not always the most qualified or they're maybe not doing the best job. So to have that respectful intervention or communication from the peers or the colleagues, I think it could be a better right.
Speaker 2Peppers and colleagues are not peasants per se, so, like everybody, should have a voice. Cheers to not being a peasant Right. So and if you're qualified for the job, then you should be qualified to have a voice as well, yeah, exactly yeah, I guess I do agree with that.
Speaker 1Well, I think that was a good question, it's not used to it right. Yeah.
Speaker 2Now another thing that is most commonly searched for March is postbiotics. So we've heard of like prebiotics and probiotics. Have you heard of postbiotics?
Speaker 1I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2It's a term that refers to the waste left behind after your body digests both pre and postbiotics. Like a healthy postbiotic includes nutrients such as vitamin B, k, amino acids and substances called antimicrobial peptides, so this all works in slowing the growth of harmful bacteria.
Speaker 1That's really interesting. I mean, I always hear about probiotics but I've never understood that there was like a post.
Speaker 2Yeah. So like you want healthy waste, so like people do get like fecal transplants sometimes if their gut is unhealthy and they're sick, you can get a fecal transplant from a healthy person and that is like 95% effective in helping to heal your gut. So that's why I think people are focusing more now on like postbiotics.
Speaker 1Look at you being all like. You're like inspiring me to learn more about this. I mean, I've never like it cut. It kind of makes sense, but then it also seems a little dirty.
Speaker 2It sounds gross. You want the benefits of like good, immune health.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2They say that your gut is connected to your brain. Oh yes, so I don't know.
Speaker 1No, it makes sense, it makes total sense.
Speaker 2But guess how much you can earn from donating stool samples like fecal samples.
Speaker 1I didn't even think that that would be a thing.
Speaker 2It is a thing.
Speaker 1I've never I'm I'm guess how much I could earn, like what? Like 50 dollars a shit.
Speaker 2Probably. So essentially they say like up to 1500 a month is what you could earn donating your fecal matter. What? Yeah, 15 hundred a month just donating shit? Yes, and that's right on par with donating sperm oh god, sperm. You could also earn up to 1500 per month.
Speaker 1Did I tell you I tried to donate sperm, but they were like no, did they say no, no way. It was an LA.
Speaker 2yeah, I'm kind of glad that they did say no, so what was wrong with you then?
Speaker 1I think honestly Ivy League and 511.
Speaker 2Okay, so you're too short and you're too dumb.
Speaker 1But anyways, that's enough about me no, I love it. Because then you're like that would have been really not a comfortable.
Speaker 2How many Johnny's do I have running around out there? How many kids are gonna be trying to contact me once they turn 18?
Speaker 1I don't think that's a good idea. I.
Speaker 2Don't know, I'm not gonna dog it. I think there's a time and a place for it and there is a purpose for it. But are you looking at yourself in?
Speaker 1the camera. Oh my god, I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on. It's like got like this bump.
Speaker 2But look at me.
Speaker 1Is it okay you could help me right Like I almost feel like I have a mullet.
Speaker 2You need a haircut. Okay, so another new thing. Yes, so you've been married before.
Speaker 1Yeah, we touched a little bit about that.
Speaker 2Did you have a ring?
Speaker 1No ring.
Speaker 2Okay, so it's just on paper.
Speaker 1It was just on paper. It was kind of like a courthouse type of situation, okay, but you know it was real love fair enough.
Speaker 2Yeah, you don't need an expensive ring or a wedding. You don't need that to define your marriage. No or so. Now people are into like lab-grown diamonds.
Speaker 1Why, like the cost it has to be, it's always about their ethical, apparently Sustainable.
Speaker 2And of course the cost. So they cost about 60 to 85 percent less Than a normal diamond.
Speaker 1How do they make them?
Speaker 2It does take like a few months. They are like grown in a lab. So basically it would make sense. Like you know, cool makes diamonds. It's compressed from the earth over thousands of years, but they do it in a few months here in a lab.
Speaker 1Oh, my god sir, that means that your next husband you can get a bigger diamond with a lab-grown one.
Speaker 2Well, I mean I will keep the husband I have. So the problem is is that they're perfect.
Speaker 1So they don't have character.
Speaker 2Oh no, we don't like that but they're made out of the same material, so there's not necessarily a way to tell. So I don't know if I'd go for it or not. Hmm why spend the extra money when you can get a lab-grown diamond?
Speaker 1You know what? I think it just depends on your mindset. Like we talked about this with like homes. You want the cookie cutter, like cost Effective, functional house that you can get, like a larger space that's more energy efficient, or do you want that one that has like the character that is the ladder historical the ladder. Yeah, yes, the ladder. Yes what's the ladder?
Speaker 2The second one that you said oh, what's it like?
Speaker 1What do you mean by ladder?
Speaker 2You know what I've heard someone else say before and I don't really know how to explain it.
Speaker 1I think sometimes you like kind of impressed me and I'm like what did she say? Like even with like Vince in van Gogh, the one time I'm like, how wait, you've studied art history.
Speaker 2Bunch of pointless knowledge that I don't understand.
Speaker 1Cheers, the pointless knowledge that you don't understand. Hey, we're learning, here we are knowledge if you don't understand it.
Speaker 2No, I'm probably just talking out my ass.
Speaker 1That's all right, you got a nice ass.
Speaker 2Oh, thank you. I've been doing some squats.
Speaker 1I know I've always admired your curves.
Speaker 2Thank you in all the right places. Thank you. I feel like you and I have similar body types. This is something that actually blew my mind. Oh, are you getting messy?
Speaker 1I am, I feel, a little placebo.
Speaker 2You're getting a little like blushed I.
Speaker 1Walk tails are messy is real. I'm gonna get you on that train.
Speaker 2So you're on your second mocktail. Whoo you're feeling it. Okay, so this blew my mind. You know how most spices are like a seed or an herb.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2What I wanna know, if you know what is paprika.
Speaker 1Paprika. Ooh, so I've seen it. I've probably used it. I don't know what exactly it is Like. Is it in the cayenne pepper group?
Speaker 2Ooh, you're so smart. Okay, so it is a pepper. It is a red pepper. It's dehydrated, crushed red pepper.
Speaker 1I kind of am impressed that I just I kind of threw that out there.
Speaker 2It looks like it let's be honest, I'm kind of disappointed that you knew, cause I didn't know.
Speaker 1Well, I mean, does that shock you?
Speaker 2I mean, oh, my husband's calling me.
Speaker 1You wanna answer? Put on speaker.
Speaker 2Sure, hey, there. We're just in the middle of a podcast. Would you like to say hi, oh?
Speaker 1yeah, hey, what's up? Just driving home from work, we're excited to see you later.
Speaker 2Oh yeah, I should be home around I don't know, seven-ish. Okay, we'll have dinner ready for us. Okay, what are we doing for dinner? Just have it ready for us. All right, we gotta run the toodles.
Speaker 1Wait, can I ask you?
Speaker 2one question.
Speaker 1Hold on, hold on one question how true is happy wife, happy life? Or is that just bullshit? It's pretty true, but there is something to be said about happy husband, happy life. God, god, click bye. Oh my God, he is like my favorite person. Do you need to switch?
Speaker 2sides.
Speaker 1No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm fine, you really want to? Yeah, let's switch, yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think that you're upset about your hair right now. Something's off. I think I'm just gonna switch for you. Oh, this is good.
Speaker 1Yeah, I like. Oh, wow, so much better Now. Do you like that? Oh?
Speaker 2my God, that's literally hilarious. Welcome to my life, welcome to my best friend. We switched sides because-.
Speaker 1Oh God, now look.
Speaker 2Just scoot this way Because we have a very vain person in the building.
Speaker 1I mean, it does take one to know one.
Speaker 2Okay, so another popular search for March is micro weddings.
Speaker 1I want one.
Speaker 2Okay, so can you tell me what do you? How many people? Do you think is a micro wedding?
Speaker 1I would say 50.
Speaker 2Okay, have you researched all this ahead of time?
Speaker 1Honey, I'm just that intuitive.
Speaker 2A micro wedding is 50 people or less.
Speaker 1I mean, does it make sense, like when you think of like a wedding you're not gonna have less than, like I don't know, 40? Like Right, you wouldn't even waste your time with it.
Speaker 2But then I guess people have it.
Speaker 1My wedding would be completely different, so your wedding was pretty magical. I do love like how you invited my family and then even some aunts and uncles.
Speaker 2Your family's my family 100%, but micro wedding it makes sense. I love you, you know like would you be the type to elope, so like would you go to a different country? Like what would you do? Because then it wouldn't make sense to have more than, like you know, 50 people.
Speaker 1To be honest, the last one relationship I thought I was like I kept pushing this idea, like I wanted to get married in London.
Speaker 2I wanted to get married in England. I know I was waiting to be asked to be in the bridal party and it never happened. I know.
Speaker 1I know. And so then I was like you know what I think I want. Now You're gonna call me crazy. I want, like a massive wedding. I think I just want to make this huge, massive event because I think, after spending time in my friends wedding in Laguna Beach, I was like wow, this is a celebration of love. I think we were a little messy today, I know, I think it was just like we couldn't figure out that. Maybe it was just me.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was. You Love your little bow tie on your neck. You like that? I just want to.
Speaker 1What do they call that? A pussy bow? They do actually.
Speaker 2Do they call that a pussy bow?
Speaker 1Yes, definitely been missing the pussy bow. I actually am missing that. Maybe I should too.
Speaker 2Yeah, you've disclosed that.
Speaker 1Anyway cheers.
Speaker 2Thank you for listening, mocktails or messy, and we'll see you next time. Bye, bye.
Speaker 1Dude, you killed it. Oh shit, let's get out of here before we get in trouble. We've gotten in trouble before. It's a pleasure speaking to you now, oh my god, legally.
