Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:Nora, we're glad you're here. Sure are How's it going.
Speaker 2:It's good, it's good.
Speaker 1:How was your Super Bowl? My Super Bowl was, I think, the most low-key Super Bowl we've ever had. Really, my two oldest were out, so it was just Ryan and myself with the two younger ones and it was awesome. They lost. The three of them sat on the couch and watched the game and I stood in the family room and folded laundry and got stuff done.
Speaker 2:How about you? It was nice. We had some family in town so people came over to our house but we had a lot of leftovers. So we had some leftovers, we bought some new food and it was pretty relaxed, but it was fun. I would say and I say this a lot about sports these games should be 10 minutes long, because that's the best part is the 10 minutes at the end. I know, but I love sports.
Speaker 1:I love sports, like you love movies.
Speaker 2:But I feel like the first three quarters it was like it was a boring game. It was kind of boring, but the last, like the fourth quarter, the overtime, that was so the overtime kill game. It was so tired, that was very exciting. So that's what I'm saying. If it was 10 minutes it'd be like oh boy, you better make them. Good, you got 10 minutes. Cal Quality, not quantity, yes. Anyways, just NFL should think about it.
Speaker 1:It was the most watched television program Since the moon landing, since somebody landed on the moon, yeah.
Speaker 2:That's amazing. Yeah, good for the Super Bowl, good for the TV. I'm happy, too, for live TV. Like I don't want live TV to go well either, do I the streaming taking over what old ladies we are.
Speaker 1:And I was watching closely because you kind of teased Reese's and it was kind of a let down, oh, what is?
Speaker 2:I think that's my fault. I overhyped, no, but I was excited about it too. I'm like what are they going to do? Put caramel on it, and I don't think that works.
Speaker 1:I don't think they need to.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:When I make a peanut butter sandwich, I'm never, like you, know what I could use right now.
Speaker 2:Caramel.
Speaker 1:Caramel, although I don't really make peanut butter sandwiches.
Speaker 2:I was going to say to have a jar of caramel. I eat peanut butter sandwiches a lot, but yeah, I wrote on my notes Reese's Cup ad boo, just boo it was. I was like that's their big announcement. I know I liked the Beyonce yes. Did you listen to the?
Speaker 1:music. Did you listen to her new song? No, I did.
Speaker 2:Oh, yes, I was really excited that she's coming out with a new album, but I didn't know that the song was out. There's two.
Speaker 1:What so when she, yeah, like it really went, it really dropped. What? How did I not know this? And it has a country vibe. Oh well, she's a Texas girl. Yes, texas Hold'em, I think, is the name of the song.
Speaker 2:It's good. Oh, I can't wait to listen to it. I've still been listening to Justin Timberlake's song selfish.
Speaker 1:But my country roots are through and through, yeah. So I really loved the yeah, you loved it.
Speaker 2:I loved it. I listened to it. I will the Dunkin' Donuts commercial yeah, that's funny. I've been watching like I don't know, instagram has realized that I really liked it, because I keep getting like random, like behind the scenes footage of it and I'm like go up, turn the volume on this one. I just think it's funny, like just to see them be such nerds.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, the Super Bowl was a long time ago and we're still talking about it, yeah, and I thought Jennifer Lopez was so funny in it when she was like we talked about this.
Speaker 1:She used her mom voice. She totally. But you know what? I loved the halftime show. I was a little uncomfortable with Alicia Keys and Usher getting, so you know I was kind of like okay, people like your spouses are watching my 17 year old nephew and I were loving Usher.
Speaker 2:I will say not as popular with the grandparents, but I was like oh my God, I forgot about this.
Speaker 1:She was an older skater. He was Again this happened a long time ago and we're still talking about it.
Speaker 2:Yes, you do love her.
Speaker 1:That was a long time ago was it A few days ago, no, but I mean like by the time the show comes out yeah, I never learned to rollerblade, so I love roller skating. I pretty good at it.
Speaker 2:I had a roller skate and a play. I was like that sounds very challenging. It was, and then I had to walk up the stairs on like the tow stoppers. That was kind of scary, but anyway, so I survived. I loved the halftime show. I put Reese's Cup ad. Boo Usher. Wow, those are my.
Speaker 1:I think that captures the whole.
Speaker 2:The whole thing, the whole shebang.
Speaker 1:But did you see this? This has nothing to do with the Super Bowl, but do you know what Jen Ziers are bringing back? Granny Pannies, oh Lord, what.
Speaker 2:Have they ever really left? I think so Also. Who's business? How can that be a trend? They're under your pants, no one's gots to know about it. Well, maybe people can see the lines.
Speaker 1:Oh, so they want you to see Sales have gone up exponentially. Oh my God, see this is just funny. This is according to the Washington Post. This is more than just talking.
Speaker 2:But to me it's kind of oh, so they're like, I don't care who sees my underpants through my tight pants.
Speaker 1:And Drew Barrymore says the bigger the better.
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 1:The bigger the undies, the better I feel.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean it's very clean. I mean there's nothing wrong with them. I think it's great to each their own, okay.
Speaker 1:Well, how about Kylie Jenner wearing them as pants or as bottoms? See?
Speaker 2:now that is, but again underpants.
Speaker 1:Underpants, underpants.
Speaker 2:Underpants, not only pants Right.
Speaker 1:Not these. Are you a pants? Not these. Sorry, my pants.
Speaker 2:Not. Look at my pants. Are you a pants? Oh man Gosh, that's amazing. That is Speaking of fashion, nora. Have you heard that there is a Dutch designer that is trying to use human hair to make?
Speaker 1:clothing Wigs, clothing Like fur, like human Like making textiles.
Speaker 2:So right now they're doing prototypes of jackets and shirts and sweaters.
Speaker 1:Like using Is it just like fringy?
Speaker 2:It's, no, it's proper sweaters and her point was oh, here it is. It was on CNN.
Speaker 1:I was fan picturing like a bob haircut, like walking, like there's the sweater.
Speaker 2:I don't like that. So her point was Do you wait?
Speaker 1:hold on? Do you wash it with shampoo? You would in the water, you would in the shower.
Speaker 2:You have to blow dry it. You got to get a straight iron. You know curling iron, but like so sweaters.
Speaker 1:Those ladies I'm not happy about wearing these. Those models are not smiling.
Speaker 2:Men but her. So her goal is to make textiles out of human hair to sell to other designers, to make their clothing out of it. Because she was saying, you know, human beings are fascinated and obsessed with their hair. Then as soon as you see a loose piece on the ground, it's disgusting. I was like, yeah, that is true.
Speaker 2:That is kind of an interesting point. Well, this also, I think, is biodegradable. But then one of the things they mention in there they try to use hair that's been broken off, because then there's no DNA in it.
Speaker 1:So they're just like going around hair salons sweeping up hair.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah yeah, gross yeah that. And they're also trying to use it to see if they can use it as insulation for, like, puffer coats.
Speaker 1:What? That is a terrible idea.
Speaker 2:Well, I guess. I mean, there's feathers in your coat.
Speaker 1:I just feel like I don't want somebody else. If you think one, if you think a straight strand of somebody else's hair is gross, I certainly think a whole pocket full of somebody else's. That's like when you clean out your hairbrush.
Speaker 2:Yes, I always put like a tissue over it because it just looks gross. So does it. I'm like look, no one wants to see that.
Speaker 1:I'm like I don't want to see that. I don't understand. Yeah, I am not going to be buying those. Do you think they're warm? I don't know they have Our hair doesn't keep us that warm, we have to wear a hat.
Speaker 2:That is true, but maybe if you had a lot of people's hair, that's called a wig. I've worn wigs before in plays and they are pretty warm. I would like to wear a wig. Yeah, I'm sure we could make that happen.
Speaker 1:But not like a, not like a party city wig, oh right Like a real, proper one. Yeah, do you have any?
Speaker 2:No, I don't.
Speaker 1:Okay, but like.
Speaker 2:Here's a guy wearing a human hair insulated coat, and he's climbed a mountain. He doesn't have gloves on, though, so I'm very skeptical of this photo.
Speaker 1:But this looks like. Are his ankles exposed as well?
Speaker 2:Maybe he's got bigger brown arms. This is that. I mean that's a proper sweater. It's a little, but it's like brown and yellow. Does it shed. It's a blonde and brunette. Yeah, it's a blonde and brunette sweater. Quite interesting to me.
Speaker 1:I'm going to put that on our Instagram.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's really.
Speaker 1:I mean good luck to that designer. I will be sure all the back. Good luck yeah. I think not I will be buying other people's hair to wear.
Speaker 2:I have a gift for you from last week.
Speaker 1:What?
Speaker 2:Thank you what was last week what we talked. Well, you'll open, you'll see. Okay, who's our get to know? You, it's not magnesium or whatever. Okay, let me see Everyone put it up, okay. Oh my gosh, you found a book club.
Speaker 1:Yes, and I know you like to put your books in your little library.
Speaker 2:So I didn't write down the cover, I just wrote you like a little. No, this is really nice to teach me, thanks, and I put a nice little Jane Austen quote on the back for you.
Speaker 1:My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation. That is what I call company.
Speaker 2:There you go, Jane Austen. You are a good company. Oh, likewise you are the good gift giver. So it's, I bought a copy for myself too Wait, Jane. Austen is the author.
Speaker 1:She is, book is Sense and Sensibility.
Speaker 2:Yes, About the Dashwood sisters. Is it sad? There are sad parts, but it's a happy ending. I'm so excited the more I thought about it it is. It's an 1800s romantic comedy.
Speaker 1:I'm going to Scottsdale.
Speaker 2:And so are the.
Speaker 1:Dashwoods are going to go with you. Yes, they are going to be joining. They'll be my plus three. How many of them are there?
Speaker 2:Well, there's three Dashwood sisters. Good, I was right on.
Speaker 1:All right, well, listen, listeners, listen, listen, listen.
Speaker 2:Listen up everybody.
Speaker 1:I'm going to start reading this and if anybody out there is so inclined to pick up a copy and you can get it really fast for Mamma Thumb, you can get anything for Mamma Thumb, I know it's really nice.
Speaker 2:I wonder if you can get a swatter with hairs.
Speaker 1:Thank you, this was really thoughtful.
Speaker 2:Well, you're welcome. I hope you like it. Sorry about itchy.
Speaker 1:You itchy talking about hair. Yeah, it makes me all squirmy, what else?
Speaker 2:Well, that was, that was my big thing hair and Jane Austen.
Speaker 1:Well, should we launch into our topic? Yes, yes, no, I would love to.
Speaker 2:Oh wait, I do have a question. Oh go, go. Did you give Ryan Pearls for Vell?
Speaker 1:Oh my God, I forgot to Shoot, I forgot to. There's always next year. This is our 20th Valentine's Day together. Wow, so if I did the math right, that's very cool.
Speaker 2:Did you get him a gift? I just got a card. No, we just took cards yeah.
Speaker 1:He bought me a really cute dress. We had a really nice Monday. Wow. I went shopping and out for dinner with Ryan In L L came in, we met at the mall and he said why don't we get you girls some things? Because they're going to Florida, we're going to Scottsdale? And I said, okay, we're going to the castle.
Speaker 2:Do you have to set a dress for the gala? No, it's just I. Just he's like pick up some things you might need.
Speaker 1:I really didn't need anything, but we had an early dinner because L had training, and then we do a little shopping.
Speaker 2:What a lovely spontaneous date night, I know. It's something that is most kind of spontaneous, but not really is our podcast. It kind of happened spontaneously. It happened spontaneously, yes, but now it's very much our I asked you hey, would you ever?
Speaker 1:want to start a podcast and I said, yes, sure, neither of us knew much about it, but what we found is, when we're out and about, people ask us a whole lot about our podcast they do and just and a lot about like, how do you do it?
Speaker 2:How does one? Which I appreciate because it's a very thoughtful question and we didn't know, and we, we, we did do some research before jumping into it, because we, you actually have to know how to get it on to the internet. What am I talking about? Because there are do you know how many podcasts? There are A million, 3.2 million.
Speaker 1:I was going to say a million plus 2 million. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right, sorry, I cut you off. I'm really sorry.
Speaker 2:Apologies, First time I've ever cut you off on the bag. 3.2 million podcasts, so you really do. You there is. So let's go back to the beginning. Okay, Getting ahead of myself. Okay.
Speaker 1:So people often ask how it works, and we thought we'd share that with everybody today. To just go through the air, yeah.
Speaker 2:And in case you would also like to start a podcast, no, you weren't getting ahead of yourself at all, I think.
Speaker 1:I think it's important, though, before we get started, to let people know that it does take a while.
Speaker 2:Because our first episode. We didn't realize that you could record and then schedule your episode to release on a certain date, because our podcast, as you may know, releases on Monday mornings, but we record typically on Wednesdays or. Thursdays and that gives me time to edit. But when we first did it, we recorded it and then I just immediately uploaded it. There was no editing Because I didn't know how and we didn't really. We were like, well, I guess we just have to nail it. Yeah, and I probably have you listened to it.
Speaker 1:No, I was gonna say we should probably go back and take a listen.
Speaker 2:I never listened to it.
Speaker 1:Do you think it's kind of cringy? It might be, I don't know.
Speaker 2:It's like when you watch the pilot of a TV show.
Speaker 1:Like the first episode. Yeah, well, that's what that is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's our pilot, it's our pilot, so, but now we meet once a week.
Speaker 1:And I love our meetings once a week because they typically take a couple hours, but we have so much fun before we start recording, we really do. We get down to business.
Speaker 2:It's amazing to me that, like, for example, I've been here for two and a half hours yes, yes, you will and we've been recording for 14 minutes. We still have so much to talk about, so much to talk about. So we do, we get organized. Nora has designed these beautiful worksheet templates for our episodes, so we each come in knowing what the topic is going to be and we come in with what we want to talk about.
Speaker 1:Sometimes one of us comes in with more notes than the other.
Speaker 2:Yes, and there have been times I've come with a blank sheet, not a blank space. I'll write your name.
Speaker 1:But we do a nice job of kind of piecing it all together. Before we hit record. We just kind of go through our worksheets to make sure we're aligned and then we hit record.
Speaker 2:And that part is kind of spontaneous, because we never really know where it's going to go Right, because there are some things that we talk about, but we do try to keep it authentic and genuine, because we don't want it to feel forced. We don't want it to feel scripted or scripted. I never have a script.
Speaker 1:I never have like quotes or anything.
Speaker 2:It's a lot of bullet points.
Speaker 1:Yes, it is, and it's a lot of me checking the time while we're recording.
Speaker 2:You're always worried about that.
Speaker 1:Each one of our segments lasts a certain amount of time, and I just like to make sure we stay on track which we are today. So yeah, for a 30 to 40 minute episode it takes us a meeting of about two hours. We could probably get it done in an hour, but we also get a lot of ideas when we sit down.
Speaker 2:We do and because we have emails to answer. We have certain people who are looking that we partner with, that we work with, so it's office hours as well.
Speaker 1:We get together. It is our office hours.
Speaker 2:We respond, we think about, we try to do a good two, three months out of episode topics.
Speaker 1:And that allows us time to get in touch with sponsors. That might parallel with episodes and take little field trips if we need to, which is super fun.
Speaker 2:Because the worst is when we come up with a really good idea but then realize we don't have time to execute it. That has happened a couple of times, where we think of something really fun and we're like, oh we should have done that last week.
Speaker 1:I know where else we get a lot of fun. Ideas is after we record, or sometimes, in place of recording, we'll do a business lunch, a working lunch. I love a working lunch. I love a working lunch too, because we check all the boxes and we call it with great ideas and we often find new places.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we find new places, we found chemisos, yes, it was fun, that was amazing, that. And so then we record, and a lot of times we will record it in one go.
Speaker 1:We always record in one go.
Speaker 2:We don't have to stop too often. Sometimes we get callers, sometimes we have people at the door of our studio.
Speaker 1:Sometimes we have workmen in some studio.
Speaker 2:Sometimes we laugh so much or it's mostly me says something that can be taken out of context, so we have to stop.
Speaker 1:But I would say we don't typically stop and we don't rerecord anything. It's very authentic. I think that's what makes it fun to listen to.
Speaker 2:And then with that as well, it's fun for me because now I know how to edit. So then after we record, I go home with my laptop and then I and I think it's funny that the reason I had to learn to edit is because we are not an explicit podcast and we had a friend on who dropped a couple our rated words and they needed to be edited out, and so it was really like either we delete the whole thing or I needed to learn how to do it.
Speaker 1:So thank you to our pal who dropped some soms, Because it really it was the silver lining.
Speaker 2:It was the what I needed to kind of teach me to do it, and I really do enjoy it. I like it.
Speaker 1:It's like folding laundry.
Speaker 2:It's like folding laundry because you're like I know I have to do it. It's like a very cut and dry pun into that Cut and dry task of like all right, I'd like to take out some of the ums if I can, some of the spaces, just kind of tight clean it up a little bit, and I always know when Nora finishes editing, because I get an email from Buzzsprout that says your episode is right.
Speaker 1:So I listened to it in full before it drops on Apple Music Award.
Speaker 2:And sometimes you get those emails at like 1.30 in the morning.
Speaker 1:I always check the time and then I feel guilty. No, no, no, no. Well, you're busy editing. I take care of the social media. Yes, and I am also self taught in the department of social media, as you are with editing and uploading, and I just feel like at every turn there's something new on social media, so I'm always trying to keep up, you do a great job Sometimes. I do a better job than others. Thank you to our sponsors, who send me things already done.
Speaker 2:And I love that. You have gotten to know who my friends and family are. Yes, who are Instagram, because I think to all my friends and family out there. If you get a response on Instagram, that is not me, by the way.
Speaker 1:And I'm not trying to like be a pose. I'm not trying to like be, nor Taylor.
Speaker 2:But I just because one time, I think, my brother in law asked me you know, did you see that thing? I said you, oh, it was the ice, I think. And I was like I did not. I was like, but I'm sure Nora got back to you and I was like, oh yeah, I thought it was you.
Speaker 1:But I think your friends and one of which I've actually met, in my life.
Speaker 2:know that yes.
Speaker 1:But then so I forged friendships with I have like internet friends.
Speaker 2:Or I love some of you like is this your friend?
Speaker 1:like a random person who wants to be friends with us.
Speaker 2:Oh, right, right and like no, that is not my friend, but I'm sure they would be interested yeah.
Speaker 1:And I enjoy when people message us on Instagram and I enjoy following everybody and I like a lot of things on Instagram because I sincerely enjoy scrolling through seeing what everybody's like to.
Speaker 2:What is the hardest part about it? Doing all the social media?
Speaker 1:The hardest part about social media is creating the content that viewers would think is cool yeah. Like I want to make a cool, real cool, that's your first problem I'm still seeing.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I'm not sure I totally ran.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you see people's stories and like, well, it's really awesome, so compelling, and I want to make those.
Speaker 2:You do make those and not well, so that's the hardest part. I think it's so hard to do and it's funny when we met at the auto show last week this really lovely high school student who's a senior and she you could tell that it was just second nature to her. Or she was like, oh, you do it in this mode and you sweep up and you do this and then you upload it. I was like oh my gosh, you're just like born doing it. They are yeah, yeah, but that's my biggest challenge, different thing.
Speaker 1:But you know what, on the flip side of challenges, is my favorites? What are your favorites? And I love our field trips yes, we've kind of just taken so much.
Speaker 2:I know why my voice is so squeaky. It's cool. It's cool. Some very fun field trips and experiences.
Speaker 1:We have been. We're very grateful to all of the people we've cross promoted with yeah and we got to go to Slooma.
Speaker 2:We got to Scottie Pippin tasting.
Speaker 1:Oh, that was so fun.
Speaker 2:The auto show now twice.
Speaker 1:Most recently Cosmic was fun Cosmic was fun All of our I can steal wine shop adventures. Yes.
Speaker 2:And camey so and we went to From GP. We had awesome time at GP. That was amazing when we got to do.
Speaker 1:I know that was fun. We should do that again.
Speaker 2:But the one that we went to the auto show was that last Friday Seems like 12 years ago. It was just Friday, I know, and you can still go to the auto show. It's there and the corn replace, right.
Speaker 1:But now it's not there.
Speaker 2:Well, it's there until the 19th.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you have to go today. If you're this Monday, go now. Pause the episode, go to the auto show. But we got to ride a scooter.

Speaker 2:What was it called the Moto Compacto by Honda?
Speaker 1:We were Moto Compact, like it was our egg.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh my gosh, it was like riding a box van.
Speaker 1:I wanted to take it off the course. Remember, I wanted to take it and she was going to let me. She was yeah, I was just going to take it over to GMC, and then, and just, be like yeah. Check me out, check me out and I was like, oh, I don't have to go get it.
Speaker 2:And I am such a nine that I'm like you can't. You have to stay in the track.

Speaker 2:I know and I couldn't do it.
Speaker 1:Like they got on the podium. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2:No, I liked it for you. I didn't bathe, I broke all the rules.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but the nice thing about our podcast is we do things that we don't normally do during a regular like school week, like while the kids are in school.
Speaker 2:Correct and it's been really fun to go out and try new things, and we do try to do the majority of our work while they're at school.
Speaker 1:Yes, and that's been really helpful this year to have all eight children.
Speaker 2:Yes, your four and my four in school all day In school and we do have a really fun field trip coming up. Tell them I don't even know if we've talked about it. Tell them so Price is right, is on the road.

Okay, I like an embroidery machine, because I think that's different. That you put, is that?
Speaker 1:it Isn't it? It's very small.
Speaker 2:It's like the size of your fingertips. You can carry it everywhere.
Speaker 1:It's like a calculator.
Speaker 2:It's like a label maker. No, they're actually, I think, really big. You program in what you want, yes, and then you just flatten it out. Oh, yes, get a monogrammer. Okay, that would be great. Okay, they'll bring all my towels over. Fantastic, I'll leave all the shirts and all the labels. I'll leave all the dress shirts for you.

Speaker 2:they're not cheap. I wonder if they want to, if anybody wants to sponsor us, and then we can set up an Etsy shop. Hmm or not, we'll just do it for ourselves. We'll just do it for ourselves. Sit our friends.
Speaker 1:Yes, right, do you need something? If you need something embroidered, call me. Yes, my machine is on the way. I just have to watch one more YouTube video and I got you and you just pay me.
Speaker 2:I'm really, really excited we would have the best merch. Let's go. We could make a monogram, two ends.
Speaker 1:All right, aw, this is so hard. This is amazing. So there you go. There you have it. This is an authentic view into how our meetings run and how our days go, and how our podcast all comes together.
Speaker 2:One of my other favorite parts of doing the podcast are our interviews that we've done. Oh, I forgot to mention that. Interviewing people has been super duper fun and it's been fascinating, like people that, like Lee, who's a DJ, annabelle Monahan, who's an author, and then your friend Sasha, and, of course, lindsay, who did the enneagrams with us Nine I'm still say this all the time like, oh God, I'm such a nine, can't help myself.
Speaker 2:That's a good thing Sometimes, but, like at the auto show, I was such a nine, I was like I can't break the rules and I was a seven yeah. I was like it says we can't go in there and Nora said to me what are they going to do? The auto show police going to come and take me away. And in my head I was like do they have? Those, oh, Mary.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I love it's my little happy place, same, and as we creep to our hundredth episode, I know we'll celebrate cat big. It's all these little celebrations along the way and it's all of our listeners that have tuned in to follow us and listen to us and support us. It's a nice little community that we've built.
Speaker 2:It has. It's been really nice and hopefully many more episodes and fun things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know how informative that was. It was for reflection, but hopefully you enjoyed it.
Speaker 2:I was like are you asking?
Speaker 1:me Are the listeners? Did you forget me for recording?
Speaker 2:I just thought, maybe you didn't. No, I thought you were asking me.
Speaker 1:I don't know. We've been sitting here for three hours, I know.
Speaker 2:I don't know we took. I know this is off topic, but why stop? Now we got to see the Tesla, the Cybertruck, the A3C truck, and I shame on us a little bit, I know. I don't know what you think. Remember, when I told Han that I would never get on that jet, I wasn't going to say the brand.
Speaker 2:But Nora, they had an airplane and it was a private jet and I was like, oh, would you ever? I was talking about private jets in general. And Nora was like, well, not this brand, not in this brand's airplane, this brand. I was like, Nora, the people from the brand are right there.
Speaker 1:And you were like meh. Oh, wow, I don't care. I said I don't care. They didn't build it Fair. I don't think they're going to be their last name was not that brand, and then we were looking at the Tesla.
Speaker 2:Neither of us realized that representative.
Speaker 1:We're looking at a certain brand.
Speaker 2:Oh sorry.
Speaker 1:I'm just kidding.
Speaker 2:I'm not. I don't know why I'm worried about the one brand and not the other. I don't know, I don't know Elon Musk, he can handle it.
Speaker 1:X X.
Speaker 2:It was a very X kind of car. It just looked bad. It was angry. It was the new Cybertruck and it looks like a piece of coal, like it's got a lot of strong angles and it has one giant shield wiper that looks like a middle finger. It does yeah.
Speaker 1:It just kind of works for that style of car and I was that really into that. But you know what I know Super cool GMC release the Hummer.
Speaker 2:That was amazing. That was a hummer the camper Hummer. You can get a camper attachment on top and it has a little sink inside.
Speaker 1:I like when you climbed in, you said there's a sink in here.
Speaker 2:I announced to the entire auto show that there was a sink, so check out my Cagarty Buick GMC.
Speaker 1:I'm sure they can order one for you, that thing was impressive.
Speaker 2:But that's, I think, a good comparison, because that is a solid gigantic vehicle, correct, but that looked big, but it still looked friendly. Like it looks like oh, you could put your family in there.
Speaker 1:I don't like to take it to pick up, even though I don't really pick up my kids. Your kids would need a ladder. My kids would be like, wait, you never pick us up from school.
Speaker 2:They would think they're like are we getting in here and then going to the moon, To the mountains? Oh, the mountains I don't know, it was really fun. That was an interesting kind of trip. Yes, we saw a gigantic car in a little tiny school, yeah, and I liked that Volkswagen bus van. That was cute. Yeah, they came out with like a new, oh, the vintage one, yes, yes. And then they're coming out with a new, updated VW bus which was cute.
Speaker 1:I know I would drive that around too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like a little happy van Little, it's kind of extremes yeah, a little bit of a tail to cities, yeah Well. So that's kind of a little glimpse into our podcast.
Speaker 1:Yeah, should we launch into highs and lows?
Speaker 2:We should. Okay, we should, we should. It's about that time, it's about that time. So my low is a self-inflicted low.
Speaker 1:Oh, that sounds serious.
Speaker 2:I've gotten into the great British baking show and I'm staying up too late watching it.
Speaker 1:You're already staying up too late before you're watching these shows. Can't you watch it while you're folding laundry?
Speaker 2:in the day Well, I should have gotten my laundry, but then I was like I forgot about my laundry.
Speaker 1:What are they? They just bake.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's an, you've never seen it. No, and I learned something interesting. In the UK it's called the Great British Bake Off, but at the? U in the US it's the Great British Baking Show, because Pillsbury owns the rights to the phrase bake off.
Speaker 1:So you just watch your British Lady bake something.
Speaker 2:Well, it's a reality show, so they start with 12 contestants and then there's a like there's bread week, there's chocolate week, there's Do you get the recipe?
Speaker 1:at the end of the show.
Speaker 2:No, that would be nice. I couldn't make any of these things these people are making.
Speaker 1:So you just watch and make stuff you can't make?
Speaker 2:Yes, but they're British and they're adorable and they're cute and it's funny.
Speaker 1:Oh, it is, yeah, you know, like a cooking show.
Speaker 2:No, there's 12 people and they're all. It's a reality. Oh, got it, got it, got it and they're all they want to be.
Speaker 1:You know the British are you pulling for one? Do you have a favorite?
Speaker 2:I really like this one lady who just got voted off, but oh, she or not, it's like American Idol, but baking kind of do they taste it now like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:If they have three each week. They make three things, two things they prepare and one thing they don't know what it's gonna be. It's kind of like getting a recipe from you. They're like ingredients and then they're like put it together. You would do great on that show, and but it's just amazing to me what they make out of pastry and bread and cake and cookies and stuff.
Speaker 2:It's it's on really well, it's on Netflix, oh right, so you. But I put it on really late because now I'm like I've gotten to know the contestants, so I want to watch more. Okay, no, so it's a high and a low.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's your high too. Well, no, not really, but my lowest. I had a bad morning with the kids this morning. Yeah oh no, we're just busty and you know, do you ever for those mornings and you just can't get everybody out the door and everything's an issue, and then I end up yelling like let's go. I haven't been able to yell since October 1st because I've had people in my house. Oh, but yeah, I want to scream my brains out.
Speaker 2:I hate, I hate starting the morning out that way. I know, because I I don't, you know. No one wakes up and is like I can't wait to really Rassle with my kids, mm-hmm, cuz you want to send them out the door and happy, yes. But then some days you're like what is wrong with you? They shouldn't complain about that, yeah.
Speaker 1:They're just a failure.
Speaker 2:You should know how to get ready for school.
Speaker 1:It was just little like it was not in school stuff, it was just like little hiccups along the way. I'm sorry. So yeah, I was happy to see you.
Speaker 2:Oh, likewise my highest confirmation. Oh nice. Eden, my oldest, and Norah, second oldest, our eighth graders, made their confirmation over the weekend. I thought the mass was lovely, and then we had a delicious and fun lunch at GP Italianno.
Speaker 1:Oh nice it was really nice to see Joe and.
Speaker 2:Emily, yeah, we had 20 people and and that was some of our leftovers at the Super Bowl party. Oh, perfect, we had. Oh my god, the food was so good. Even and I'm not a leftovers person Even I was like oh my god, these raviolis. I'm so glad we didn't waste them, cuz they were delicious, nice, really, really good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you're local, check out GP. Mm-hmm, how about you?
Speaker 2:I said Monday night, oh, yes, so you're like a pretty woman, kind of like Random shopping spree.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like slow meetup With Ellen. My dad took the kids to the auto show, so that was my other high oh on Monday, because we don't usually divide and conquer right. Well, I guess we always divide and conquer, but we're not typically just left with one child, mm-hmm. And so my dad had the other three and they had a great time with my dad, yeah, and I think I mean he's a, he's a good sport for and he's a great one to go to the car show, auto show.
Speaker 2:I had a car show, that's not a show cuz he knows so much about them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it was nice for them to spend some quality time together and for us to hang with just Alan. Yeah, that's awesome. So I'm right, that's how we go. We hope you enjoyed listening today.
