Hey, hey, hey, everyone. Welcome back to another episode of the in between. I'm your host, Elizabeth Cheney. Wow. I feel like it's been a lifetime since we had a solo episode. Am I turning into like a collab podcast, like a guest host podcast, special guest podcast. Okay, that was cheesy and silly, but no, seriously. Whoa. It's been a hot sec. So, um, Tell me what's going on with you. What's going on with me. A lot has happened. I'm gonna assume a lot has happened since we last talked. so let's just get into it. I'm a little hyper. I mean, it's a solo episode. I think it's been So we did the whole Women's Wellness Series, which we'll get into in a moment. And then I had, what, one at least one to two guests before that. So maybe there was like one solo episode in between but like I've had guests like a lot lately I hope you all have enjoyed it. I hope you all have been learning and thriving and exploring new ideas anyways hello, we're in April, so that's crazy. Didn't see that one come in. Just kidding. Yes, I did. Uh, I also got bamboozled on April fool's day. I mean, yes, I am gullible. Is that the word I'm looking for? Gullible? Gullible. You can talk me into stuff like, oh, you're so gullible. Okay. Gullible is my word. Wow. I just like had an external inner dialogue with you all. Uh, anyways, welcome to my head. Um, but, I am gullible, hopefully that's the right word or else I am a complete moron. Uh, when it comes to these kind of things. And for a brief moment I woke up, April Fool's Monday morning, and of course April Fool's on a Monday, bleh. So when I wake up on Monday, April 1st, I'm not thinking about it being April Fool's Day, and I'm scrolling on my Instagram and I see the first post, I actually think it was, it was one of the Atlanta accounts that I follow. And it said that new law proposed or new ordinance proposed for people that have a metro Atlanta city address on their driver's license, we're going to have to re verify their, like, license, like take another test, a driving test and a written test, which for those who are familiar with Atlanta traffic, no offense, but most of you cannot drive. We already have really bad traffic. That's problem number one. Well, that's probably more like problem number two. Problem number one is the fact that our roads just make no, make no sense and they are like filled with potholes. So it's not really an ideal situation for driving. Then you throw in all the traffic, and then you throw in all the people who are not from Atlanta, so they're not used to the traffic and all the shitty road systems, so they don't know where they're going. I can't blame them. But also, bah! Get out of my way! And then throw it all together, we have no real good public transit, as far as my opinion goes. Because I just want to take a train. I don't want to take a bus. I just want to take a train. Anyways, wow, I'm really starting to ramble and sound like an old man, but the point being is, I saw this stupid post. Oh my god, wow, I really just rambled. But I saw this post and it was, it talked about the driver's test and I was like, Wow, we really need that, but I also, like, don't want to be inconvenienced. That sucks. That sucks a lot. I quickly went to the comments to read the reactions because I thought surely people are up in arms about this and of course they were all like April fools and I was like well jokes on me. So that's how that went. Anyways, what else happened on April 1st? Retrograde. Something went into retrograde. I think it's that thing Mercury. You know, as somebody who is first to say I'm a triple Taurus, I don't know really jack shit about astrology. I want to change that. I want to know more about it. Plus, I feel like it might help me understand people more. or people better, your personality types. But regardless, I don't really understand what retrograde means other than typically I feel like it brings chaos and that is what ensued on Monday. But that's okay because we are thriving and what is it? 30 flirty and thriving. Although I'm like 30 plus now, but that's okay. That's okay. That's okay. We are here in April. April fools has passed. Thank goodness for Liz. We're also in autism acceptance month. I think it's also autism awareness month. I'm not sure which way it should be said because I've seen it said both ways, but with that said, uh, autism is a form of neurodiversity as is ADHD dyslexia. There's actually several things that are in the neurodiversity umbrella, or I guess I should say under the neurodiversity umbrella and your girl is bringing on somebody who is very familiar with a neurodiversity. environment, so to speak. She's a good friend and she's a great presenter. So I can't wait for her to come on, talk to the podcast. She works in DEI. So she is all about making everybody feel heard, seen, validated and accommodated. Ooh, there's a word that's what we're going to talk about. So I'm really excited. We're supposed to record. Hopefully this weekend, so if your girl can get her shit together, she will release it next week. If not, it'll be the week after next. Very excited about that. I can't believe that the day that this comes out will be 4 3 2, wait, 4 3 2 4, which is actually me and Stan's anniversary, which was 4 3 2 1. I know I actually did not plan that, just FYI. Oh, it's also Stan's birthday. Just forgot about that too. Yeah, Stan gets a lot of love this week. So, we're catching up. We got the solo pod. We got exciting things that are topical for April. Stan's got his birthday. He's getting older. I don't know shit about astrology, but something's in retrograde. And I'm sensing it. But don't worry, your girl was not down too long. But let's see. So the Women's Wellness Series, what did we think? You know, I don't know why I called it the Women's Wellness Series. I'm going to be completely honest. I think when I had the idea, my first thought was not that it's Women's History Month, but Women's Month. And then after I booked all the, all the gigs, so to speak, all the episodes, all the guests, I then realized it was Women's History Month. But I was like, well, you know, women's history, women's month, it's all kosher. It all makes sense. So anyways, she's either here nor there. She did not claim to be a scholar. Y'all just a self love advocate, but seriously, what'd you guys think? I feel like I learned so much. Let's like break it down real quick. Emily Diane Hill with the financial wellness loved that I just got my March statement in and I am excited that I am going to do that this weekend go through my statement I know she talked about doing it as you go, but baby steps for Liz over here So I'm gonna incorporate that into my monthly routine looking forward to that Then we had Bhavna, she was dropping mad wisdom hopefully everyone listening to those episodes, they got something out of it for themselves. That was obviously my goal. And then last but not least, my girl, Kira, a fun fact. Well, I think I just said this on the episode, but she did my website, which side note, I launched a website in March. Finally, that thing happened. We'll revisit that in one moment, but Kira, okay. Can I just say something? So Kira and I are obviously friends, I was, uh, not a part of the opening of the social studio, but I saw it when they first got the space, I saw different steps and I saw the process and the progress, so to speak, of the space and how it came to life, and, you know, I knew what her podcast studio setup was going to look like, but to actually get to sit in it and then record and film, you Oh, it was so cool. It also came with its own set of lessons. Your girl is constantly learning when she does all of it by herself. But that's okay. Thank God. She picks up tech stuff easily. rookie mistake. You guys, I didn't think to put my phone in the 16 by nine ratio, AKA like the horizontal ratio, if you watch a YouTube video, the entire episode was basically filmed as if it was like a real or a tick tock. That was fun to edit. That was real fun to edit, but let me tell you something. Those iPhones, they're not, they're not that bad. They're not that bad. Was it as clear as I would have liked? No. But that's okay. That's okay. Regardless, it was so much fun. I felt like such a boss. I was like, she's a professional. And this podcast studio also, it really makes me want a house more than you can know, just so I can like make my own space. But okay, now I'm just kind of rambling and spiraling on the podcast. But, uh, hopefully you enjoyed the episode with Kira. She's fabulous, really enjoyed listening to her talk and share her story a little bit about entrepreneurialism and, you know, kind of what you need to, to keep it going keep it going as in keeping you going, like what you need for you. So yeah, lots of fun things, it's been really busy, uh, you know, I, I do want to say I feel like every episode brought its own new set of challenges, not because the guest was bad or anything like that, no, just, you know, I had to add an audio file to one thing. I had to add a different external image to one thing or not image, but like the video file, I don't know. I just got a little creative with the different things I was doing in my technology pursuits, so to speak in the podcast editing. So women's wellness series success, we learned a thing or two and also Liz learned new skill sets that I'm still too nervous to put on my resume. Oh my goodness. But, um, speaking of skill sets. The website, it launched. I mean, how long have I been talking about that for like a hot ass minute? Like an embarrassing long ass minute. I'm just kidding. It's not embarrassing. Even if it took me another year, it's still totally awesome. But I'm very, very excited. I've already had a few people reach out via contact form. Oh my God. Never thought I'd be so excited for a contact form, but here we are. But I'm so excited to have this done. Of course, it'll probably evolve and change, and there'll be additions and things like that, but I'm just so glad I got the thing out, because that was, uh, that was a, that was a lot. But, we did it. Very excited. Did we do it on the timeline we thought we would? Absolutely not, because we clearly had no idea, or, uh, uh, any, any expectation and the difficulty it would be to do it. So, that's what she wrote. That's what she wrote, but it's done. So excited. I'm excited. And oh, oh, I almost forgot. Oh my gosh. Pfft, can't believe I haven't talked about this yet. Sorry. Very excited solo episode. I'm like referring to my notes because I was like, Oh my gosh, there's so much to update on. Um, I'm in several groups online, social media. For podcasting, women in podcasting, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And there was this chick who posted one of the groups looking for guests. What is her podcast called? I should probably look that up real quick. I just brain farted. Oh, create with confidence with Taylor Hutton. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow Let's just, um, let's not judge myself there about that. Um, so anyways, create with confidence with Taylor. Create with confidence with Taylor Hutton. Uh, she posted looking for guests. Cool. Great. Um, and she had this like Google form thing that is automated that since she just signed up, you scheduled a time to record. I picked like several weeks out, 6 PM. So when she sends me the email confirming the time, it was like in a time zone I was completely unfamiliar with. And it was like 9 AM the next day. And I'm like, Did I do something wrong? Like, I swear, I thought that says 6 p. m. So, I quickly Google it, it's Australia. And I went, Arr, is she from Down Under? Or is this just some weird automated system that's in some freaky weird time zone that's throwing me off completely. So, I clearly didn't do my homework ahead of time, but I go, I look her up, I was like, Oh, she is in Australia, that's so cool. So, we get ready to do our episode. Had a freaking blast love this girl. Of course. She's got like the cool accent. Oh, I know She's talks like that. I just really butchered that but like sore, you know bore me Is this? Yeah, this is what happens when I haven't been on the mic by myself in like six weeks She's really hyper and trying not to be weird But regardless your girl was on a podcast in Australia. So So she recruited on the other side of the world. It was actually kinda cool, not gonna lie, because like, it was the future talking to her so in a way it was like some weird time zone thing, like, time travel, I'm talking to myself in the future! I know that's not how that works, but it was really fun. Uh, we really hit it off. That episode actually drops this Thursday, April 4th, I will be posting it or reposting. Excuse me. But one thing that I wanted to humble brag on and just also to say, podcast thing for almost, Two years now. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Ow. That's wild. When time flies when you're having fun. Uh, but seriously, I've been doing this for two years now and. Maybe it's because I've been on a string of podcasts and I've had a lot of guests on recently But I've noticed that whenever I go in other people's podcasts the conversation typically stems around some form of self love and Your girl has really solidified her whole life I'm proud of myself and I say that because like I've been feeling the momentum that like, oh yeah, I got it. You know, when you got that swag, you got that juice, like when you are doing what you really want to do, you're passionate about and it's vibing, like literally vibrating with you and your soul. You can sense that. And so with Taylor on her podcast, I felt it. Like, I felt, I was in the zone. I was in my, I was in my, what, my power, so to speak. I'm really feeling it. Like maybe that's my thing, right? Well, obviously self love is my thing, but I find myself, I don't know, sometimes it is the topic of choice, and then sometimes it just, it just comes up. I have no idea, but I'm really proud of myself, and I'm really excited to share that episode. Hopefully you guys will listen and enjoy your girl down under, Taylor Hunton. Very cool, very cool. All right, so. What else? What else?, With the website and all the social media activity I've had recently with like the the collaborations and Features on my podcast. I've gained a lot of new followers. So if you're any new listeners, welcome to the podcast Hopefully I haven't freaked you out yet. I'm just kidding. Really. This is just a fun safe entertaining space to also sometimes I don't know get our feelings out and or get our Frustrations out. It's the FNF feelings and frustrations. I have a rebrand. That's what we'll call it. Just kidding The self love Liz podcast Liz, the self love expert what am I talking about? I don't know. Where were we? So with that said, hello, welcome to the pod. Hope you're enjoying it. Also, just want to say shout out to the Atlanta Braves. Now that I'm a sports girlie, I am far, far, far from it, but my husband's really excited, so there's that. And guess what else that means? He's about to be out of my hair for like, I don't know, eight months because there are games almost every day. I feel like there are 5, 000 baseball games an entire season, so cheers to having free time again, but also cheers to now having the Braves on 24 7. Sometimes that's how it feels like. Considering the fact it's now what, like 15 minutes into this episode, it's been a hot second. Lots has happened in society and pop culture and just whatever. I want to do a rapid fire where I could just give you my, my thoughts, the 411, this Liz Scoop, if you will, about how I feel about certain things, because that's why we listen to podcasts, right? At least that's why you're probably listening to this podcast, because I know you're not here for anything else. You're not here for serial killer stories, that's for sure, because, uh, I'm not into that. It gives me nightmares. hee. All right. Rapid fire. Understand, some of these are dated because your girl has been, I don't know, featuring guests, running a series, launching a website, doing the most, all the time, trying not to die in the process. Okay, so, uh, the Baltimore Bridge. Oh my god. Did that go down like paper mache or what? I'm not gonna lie, the first time I watched it, it took my breath away. Like, I don't know if you, I'm sure we've all seen the YouTube video where it's like some influencer just happened to be filming there at the right time. Very crazy, very crazy. But I don't know. You're doing the Lord's work out there. Cause you've got a video that got shared across probably every major news publication, but yeah. Do anyone else like just lose their breath watching that video? Oh my gosh. It went down so quick, like it just went down, like it was like POOP! Like, I don't know anything about engineering and architecture. I am sure that it was a very well made bridge. Cause I'm sure like where this ship hit it was just the perfect right spot. But like, talk about hitting the bullseye when you do not mean to hit the bullseye. And I'm not trying to be funny about this, but like, I'm just kind of like, Do we need to rethink how we build bridges because that seemed too easy. Right. Oh my gosh. Um, very intense. And I just, I have lots of questions. I don't, again, don't know much about anything really, but definitely about logistics and international, water logistics. But I have been to Savannah, Georgia, and I've seen a lot of ports or a lot of ports. I've seen the Savannah port, but I've seen a lot of boats go out to port of, so to speak. And they always have like tug boats that carry them or like ride with them to protect them. I don't know. Where was that tugboat? I feel like it's a little sus. Like, why was that giant cargo ship by itself that close to a bridge? I don't know. I don't know these things. Hopefully I'm not stirring the pot. But, man, that was insane. Like, I just, wow. And so sad that people lost their lives. Anyways, that just got kind of dark. Didn't mean to. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about. If you don't, then you need to get on the internet at some point in your life because you've definitely heard about it. Secondly, Kate Middleton. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. So at first I was kind of like, y'all are crazy. Kate hasn't been seen since December, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Or whatever the date was January something. And I'm like, wow, you guys are literally, and I don't know who you guys are, but I'm just generalizing here. But like these people on the internet are out here like Kate's not been seen at this specific time on this specific date. And it's just a little creepy. Okay. Like, okay. Whatever. So of course, more news comes out, more information. You find out she's having a procedure, I get it. She's a public figure. She's going to be the future queen of England. There is interest there. I mean public figures, public people, like it comes to the territory of people wanting to know your business. I understand that. The reason I bring this all up is what in the, excuse my language, the fuck is up with the Royal palaces, communications and PR team. I mean, I really feel like they could have done a much better job at trying to keep the bullshit quiet, keep the rumors at bay, keep the gossip zipped, you know what I mean? If they hadn't, you know, I don't know, posted the most bizarre, poorly edited photo ever, and it was like, picture emoji, the Prince of Wales, whatever the hell William's title is. And it was just like, so weird, I mean, those kids fingers were all like, conjoined, I don't know, it was, it was very weird. And then they have her supposedly tweet out or X out, like, what do you, I don't know what the proper verb for that is now. They had Kate Milton formally tweet, but now refer to as X out. Oh, sorry, you know, I'm not good at Photoshop, silly me. And it's like, girl, it's not that you're bad at Photoshop, it's just that, uh, I'm They did you dirty, and you're the scapegoat. That's what's happening. And so then, after the internet went ablaze, and like, the AP, Associated Press had to come out and be like, Oh, by the way, this picture has been hella edited. That's our bad. You didn't come out and you're like, I have cancer. And it's like, whoa, that's intense. And I understand privacy, but, Rather than posting the bizarre photo, then having the tweet or former, excuse me, former tweet slash now referred to as ex of her saying, Oh, I, messed up, which that's a whole different issue in itself. let the people continue to go crazy with conspiracies. They're gonna do that anyway because if you think what you did helped, it definitely fueled the pot. And now, the video that they actually posted of her filming acknowledging her condition, is, uh, Now, rumor de blaise to be edited as well, so I don't know if you really did anything to help your case. Okay, so there's that. My heart and thoughts and well wishes send out to you Kate Middleton and the Royal Family. Also, I apologize if you hear the kitchen and the refrigerator rummage. My husband is aggressively looking for a snack after his workout. So, make haste and do not listen to the background noise. Alright, what's next? Beyonce. Okay, I have lots of thoughts about this. First off, Beyonce. Beautiful. Chef's Kiss. Love it. Will listen to it over and over again. Yes, it's long, but half the songs are like a minute long, and there's like interludes and all this kind of shit, but Oh, it's a journey. It's an experience. Our queen told us, this is not a country album, it's a Beyonce album, and I can concur after listening to it. Ha. First off, favorite track Spaghetti. Why? One, sounds nothing like a country song, but ooh, the lyrics are piping hot. It is essentially a diss to the country industry peeps who doubted her. And if you think I am not stoked to see our queen reign at the CMA's and CMT's, you are mistaken. I cannot wait. It's gonna be amazing. I literally cannot wait. But yeah, Spaghetti. It's a banger. If you haven't listened to it yet, make sure you pay attention to the lyrics because, oh, they are so good. They are on fire. Okay? Okay. Secondly, I love the Miley Cyrus feature. Love that song so, so much. Their voices sound so beautiful together. Would love to see that song live. Wow. Just love it. so I'm not going to go into the history of when she made this album all that shit because apparently she did it before the renaissance album. I want you to go look it up because it's really cool hearing how she actually did this first and then it was like going into the the cover art and then how that inspired the cover art for renaissance. I'm not going to go into too much detail about the situation, I encourage you to do your own reading, but part of what inspired her to do this album was in 2016 when she performed at the CMT, CMA is one of those two awards ceremonies, with the Dixie Chicks for her song Daddy Lessons. I guess some shit happened and she was not welcomed. Some people in the industry, made her feel uncomfortable, right? she's like, You don't think I'm welcome here. Well, I'll show you and show you she will so I am here for this era I mean then again, I'm here forever beyonce era. I'm gonna brag again man bragging mad on this podcast today But I did see her at Coachella. I was having like a total mental crisis in my life and I uh, what's the word impulsively bought tickets to Coachella. And I called my friend who I know to be down and I was like, let's go bitch. And we did. And I'm so glad I went because I got to see that performance. She's truly an amazing performer, artist, just everything. So, wow, this is turning into a, uh, Beyonce, bash. And that's fine because you know what, that's a party. I will hang out any day of the week. So yes, here for Cowboy Carter, here for Beyoncé, here for all the awards next year that she's gonna win, and, um, Sly Bae. Ha! Didn't even mean to do that, but here we are. Um, okay, what's next? Oh, since we're on the topic of music, favorable mention Ariana Grande. I'm still not sure how I feel about her as a person. And I'm definitely still not sure how I feel about her as Glinda. Rumor has it she had lots of voice lessons to work on her speech for the movie, so maybe she won't ruin it. But her new album is okay. There's like two songs that I really, really like. One thing about her album, I will say, is it's 30 minutes. So, hopefully she doesn't go on tour, otherwise that's going to be a waste of money, in my opinion. 30 minutes, there we go. What else, what else, oh, euphoria. Allegedly is having an indefinite hiatus until season three. Allegedly was his name Sam Levinson, the creator, didn't finish the script. They were supposed to start filming it this week, last week, something like that. So, I don't know if we're gonna get a season three. To be honest, I don't even remember what happens in season two, but I remember being kind of a cliffhanger. So, I'm a little bummed, because I really loved that show. Was it intense as fuck? Absolutely. Did it send me into mild panic attacks sometimes? A few times, there were a few times, like, oof. Listen to previous episodes, I talk about it. Uh, but I still loved it. I think it was a great, great show. So, that's a bummer. Big bummer. Wonder what's going on there. I mean, someone smells fishy, I think. Like, that seems a little odd, like, You're supposed to start filming this week and the script's not ready. I feel like there'd be like approvals for that before you get to that point. But maybe I'm wrong because I'm not a writer or director. Unless you consider me as the director of the show, which I absolutely am. But whatever. Something tells me the in between production is different than Euphoria's. Then there is Chance Perdomo. For those who have heard, he passed away unexpectedly this past weekend. I think it was a motorcycle accident, but I loved him in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. It was a show that was on Netflix. I think it ended in 2020. It was a play on our beloved Melissa Joan Hart's Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but actually the whole show was based on a comic book. Side note, a little history for you. but I love the show and it was unexpectedly canceled at Netflix probably has something to do with COVID, but chance was Sabrina's cousin and he was so captivating. I loved watching him. He was on the show called V generation V, which I think is like a prequel to the boys on Amazon, which that show is who out there. Let's just put that out there. And, um, if you watch it, it is not appropriate for children. I'm going to tell you that right the fuck now. but anyways, he apparently was in the, the generation V. So haven't watched it yet. It was actually on standardized list, but I'm really sad because I feel like he was a really talented actor, and gone too soon, obviously. I mean, anyway, I'm at the point now where I think anyone gone is gone too soon, even when you're old, because like we're here for a blip. Wow. All right. Turning into a completely existential different conversation. So I'm going to move on. Anyways, my heart goes out to chances family. um, okay, let's see. Stan and I are watching The Morning Show. It's a show on Apple TV with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon. I really liked it, how it started off. they're all kind of selfish brats now. And I think maybe they were all still selfish brats to begin with, but maybe I just noticed like, damn, they're still kind of train wrecks. So I'm not sure where their character arcs are going. I still enjoy it, but I'm getting a little bored, not gonna lie. It's not bad. It's good. Is it great? I'm not sure. But now, like I said, I'm kind of bored. Um, I've been on TikTok a lot lately, learning all about the government and just how it's all corrupt. I'm just kidding, guys. Don't worry. I'm not like watching some insane, alt right January 6 bullshit. Do not worry. But I do feel like you learn more about what's going on with even current media stories. And part of me, maybe this is the one little conspiracy thing I'll say is, do I think they're trying to get rid of TikTok because of censorship? Censorship? Quite possibly. Do I think it's actually going to happen? I don't know because that would be insane. I feel like that would be kind of an infringement our free speech. So, I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen. Get it while you can and learn what you can in the process. Still no house. Mm hmm, mm hmm, mm hmm. Right now it's like spring break and I expected to see more homes and guess what, the homes are not there. So, fun for me, but, don't worry, she will continue to progress, she will continue to move forward and she will continue to hope. I was so devastated yesterday and just burnt out on such the shit day that I have. I'm not going to talk about, I wrote a poem about hope and it was the most negative effing thing I've written in my whole life. I'm pretty sure it was pretty depressing too. Like I did this whole thing where I started hope as like super positive and then it was just like basically hope is the thing that kills you, I just want you to know, things were bleak yesterday, but today things are better. And you know what? Maybe tomorrow things will be even better. And if things aren't, that's okay because the next day things will be better. Am I losing my mind? Maybe. I also wrote a leap year letter to myself. I saw that on the tick tocks, on the reels, I saw on the tick tocks and then I saw those tick tocks on reels like a week or two later. But this chick was like, write a leap year letter to yourself, which I mean you could just write a future letter to yourself, but make it fun for leap year. Talk about like what's going on when you're live, what's different, what's new, what are you working on? What are your goals this year and what's your goals and what you hope for the, for the next leap year. And I did it and I'm really excited. I put it in a safe place and I can't wait to write it or write it. I can't wait to read it in 2028. So if you are interested, you should do it too, because guess what? Who said you have to write it on a leap year? Technically, I wrote mine like March 4th. Oh, goodness. Um, and speaking of TikTok, but like a few topics ago. I don't even know how this happened. Well, actually I do know because I, your phone listens to you, right? And I was talking to someone about how I have like a very short neck, but like a very big jaw, and you can't really tell because of where my hair falls, but like, I'm not saying I'm not cute. I know I'm cute. But I've been to enough physical therapy to know that I have a short neck and a big head. Um, because my therapist would be like, Uh, okay, can you like really stretch it because like your neck is so short? Um, anyways, I have a very defined jaw. so the person that is technically my father, I do not talk to him, uh, he is Slavic, he's Eastern European, he's Czechoslovakian, so I always kind of thought chin came from there. I don't know why I just gave you those fun facts about myself. But anyways, I was talking to somebody recently about my chin and of course my phone picked it up. I go on Tik Tok and like this video pops up about a Habsburg jaw and the girl looks like me. She has kind of a short neck and a big jaw and I'm like, Whoa, this feels very singled out here. A little creepy how good the algorithm is. I think it even said like, Whoa, you're good. This is very on point theory on topic. And she said, Habsburg jogs, you know, how like to talk, we'll show you the search bar at the bottom. So I'm like, Oh, is this like a thing that I should know about? Well, technically a Habsburg jaw is some kind of inbred bullshit from like the English medieval times. I don't fucking know. And it's like where you have a really big chin and kind of like an underbite or something like that. So I don't really know where I was going with this other than TikTok suggested maybe I have a Habsburg jaw. But either way, I just know that girl that I saw had the same jaw I had. So is it a Habsburg jar or just a very strong jar, cause I'm Eastern European, I do not know, but, uh, definitely no, I'm not inbred, so there's that. And then the last thing is, we went and saw puppies this weekend. Yeah, it's not before you were like, oh, did we get one? No, we didn't. We, uh, we, we didn't. We found this breeder and we put a deposit down months ago, but we just wanted to go visit, wanted to meet her, meet the dogs, and I knew she had puppies, that were almost at the age where they're gonna be ready to go to their homes, and so I was like, ooh, we'll get some puppy cuddles, and y'all, ugh, it was a little bittersweet. There was a few tears, nothing like some sobs, but there were some tears, mostly because, like, her main male sounded just like Luna, and it totally threw me off, like, his bark, and like, not just his bark, but even, like, his little, like, meh, like, little gargles, or, like, playful barks, all of them sounded like her, and I just was, like, a little overwhelmed, and then, of course, like, Sunday had a breakdown about it, but that's okay, not about, like, his bark, but, like, about her, but Hey, we're still grieving and we're still moving forward, but I miss my girl so much, but I am excited at the idea of a new baby. So hopefully this whole house thing works out very soon. Very soon. side note, I also love my mom. My mom came with us and she's just such a lovely person and makes me really happy and got some puppy loving as well. So that's good. We just talked for like 30 plus minutes about all of the random shit in my life and all the exciting things coming. I really enjoyed catching up. It's been too long. Seriously. But before I let you go, I just want to leave some parting lisdoms for you. Wisdom if you will. yes, I said lisdom originally. There have been some things that have been heavy on my heart. I've been looking for direction, asking for guidance for all I know, the universe has been telling me, giving me answers, and I've been ignoring them because I overthink everything. Well, when I tell you that I got a swift reality check and slap in the face of what I need to do, I mean to tell you, like, I'm still bruised from the donkey kink, okay? At first, it I was really, like, overwhelmed and processing and trying to figure out, like, what I needed to do and, what was my move and, after decompressing and talking to Stan a little bit and, like, kind of processing the information and, and my thoughts and emotions, I realized that it was the donkey kick, the slap of reality that I needed. So the last few things I want to say are ask and you shall receive, whether you believe in the God does not matter. Ask and you will receive. I truly believe that. Secondly, and maybe even more importantly Is never underestimate yourself. There are going to be plenty of people who do that for you. I mean, geez, society does that pretty well already. But I'm telling you, there is no one that can take away your light. There is no one who can be as incredible as you are you. If you are too much then they can go find less. If you are too bright, well then they can go into the darkness. No one should have to make themselves small, or dim their light to satisfy someone else's ego. That's how I feel about things. Period. on that note, I'm going to let you go. I hope you enjoyed today's episode and yes, for again, any of my new friends, my new listeners, thank you so much. I hope you enjoyed the show.
