Hello. Hello. This is 30 crying and trying and if this works well, this will be our first video. Video. Yeah. Okay, so it's been a minute since we've gotten together, and do we want to discuss, like, celebrity, pop culture stuff, or kind of get into our, our stuff? I think our stuff. Okay. Okay. Is that cool? Mm hmm. Do the bingo card? Okay. Yeah, we can. Um, so we, um, have this idea. My mom had this idea that you print off a bingo card and then you write down things that you think will happen throughout the year and you cross them off as you go. Yeah. So, um, things like fly on a plane or I know I had, I saw it on yours to get Yander's potty trained, cash potty trained. Yes. Yes. Um, how about, um, Oh, do you have yours? In my head. Oh, in your head. Oh, and also partially in our group chat. Yes. Yes, exactly. So, let's just kind of go around and just one at a time. Yeah. Okay. And then if anyone's listening, if, you know, you get some ideas too, let us know if you succeeded as well sometime in the year. Yeah. Everybody create your own bingo cards. Yeah. Kind of see what if you want to print. Yeah. Because it has the PDF or whatever. Yep. So, yeah. First of all, did you guys watch our New Year's episode? Nah. Listen to it. Sorry. I did. I did listen to it last year. Yes. It was interesting'cause we spent so much of the episode talking about like logistic wise, like how we want to film and we wanna have that figured out by the end of the year. Mm-hmm And now it's the beginning of the next year, so we're checking things off for us. Yeah. We made a real effort. So yes. we gotta start somewhere. Yep. Yeah. Yes. Close to Hannah, because she found this app that we're using right now to work this out. Yes, we'll see how it goes. Okay, so on my first bingo, I'm just gonna, healthy habit eating. Oh yeah, that was on mine. Cookmore was on mine. Because at night, I always have a sweet tooth, like my sweet tooth is just like, I need to eat a whole thing of Oreos or I'm gonna die. Oreos, interesting. It's like, yeah. What's that, Superman? It's my kryptonite? Yes, it's your kryptonite. Yes, and so I went to Aldi's and I got like the 5 calorie, like little cookies. I think the limit is 7 or 5, so I'm trying to like Just like healthier alternatives. Yeah, but like, ugh, I don't know why I'm like that. Like I have to have something chocolatey. I'm going to get heartburn afterward, and I know I'm going to regret it, but what if you eat your chocolate in the morning? Does that help? I mean, I still get heartburn. Well, I know, but like, does it help? Do you still have that craving at the end of the day? Uh, yeah. Do you deprive yourself during the day? A little bit. Maybe that's why. So what do I do? I don't know. They say not to, but honestly I don't have no self control. So even if I, you know, if I don't deprive myself, then I just go ham. Yeah. So neither way really works for me. So I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. Consult a nutritionist. Yeah, very true. Yeah. Some of them are covered by insurance. It's true. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Um, the body that I want, the people are always like you have to be a calorie deficit and I've had just like It's unfathomable to me. It just drains my heart or just my soul is just like, Oh, seriously. Like, why can't I just work out? Why can't that just be enough? But no, you got to be like 80 percent food, 20 percent exercise, BMI. Yeah. I'm so obese. If I look at my chart, they say BMI is like relatively unnecessary. That makes sense. Like it doesn't have as much to do with, that's what I've heard. I don't know. I've heard that's kind of outdated as well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So. I remember looking into, cause there was like, donate your eggs and you get money or something. So I looked at the graph, they're like, we only want someone who isn't 30. And I'm like, don't qualify. And then your BMI has to be between this and this. And I'm like, I am very obese. I don't qualify. I know, I'm like, I should be dead based on my BMI. Like, shoot. I'm just saying. Like, the BMI is crazy. Ew. No, I don't see, like, I don't see how anyone could pass it. It's insane. Yeah. I feel like the only time I ever passed my BMI stuff was like, when I was literally a teenager with like, my probably most severe disordered eating habits. So like, What does that tell you? I don't know. But nothing good. So, I don't know. That's too bad. Yeah. Yeah, it's what it is. I have been, I'm about a week in now of tracking everything I eat. Oh, on my fitness call? Yes. You're doing the food scale? Um, no, not necessarily, but like I'll enter like, roughly what I eat. I'm mostly, I'm not trying to be in a deficit or anything. I'm just trying to get my, I like 150 grams of protein a day. Mm-hmm Mm-hmm So these are really good, these Chobani protein shakes. If they're good, probably put my pants. I got one. Yeah. I mean, they are full of, it's like pretty much yogurt. Oh, this is lactose free. Ooh, nice. We will try it. I'll bring you one next week. Maybe my gym has protein shakes and this is how big the video people can see it, but it's packed with a bunch of stuff. Nice. I don't like those. Calvin and I were just talking about their smoothies the other day cause we just renewed our membership. That was actually on my list too. It was to like have consistency in the gym. Yeah, I don't, I am not enjoying like real smoothies. It's icky. What kind do you get? Like the sugar kind? That's a starburst. Where it's just like. I feel like it's pretty like. But it's real fruit. And it tastes like fruit. You can taste the seeds, but. I don't like that. That's yucky. Oh god. I just don't like that. It's icky. You gotta do something. But I'm happy for you. I'm glad you like it. Mmhmm. I know it really works for some people to do smoothies. Well, that and I feel like if I, um, I don't feel like I have to overeat because I feel like this fills me out too. Yeah. Yeah, it's nice to just like be sipping on stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like I replaced, I was going to get something at Starbucks this morning and this was my healthier alternative choice. I was going to get a high C at McDonald's and I'm like, no, I'll just get a protein shake. Yeah. Get a protein shake. I don't want to be sad about the choices that I make, you know? I'm not sad, I just um, I see you would sound much better. Yeah. But. When you don't get sad about it. Yeah. You're just like, oh it is what it is. Well then I do feel kind of guilty, like, what's the point of working out if I'm just going to drink a gallon of sugar. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. I don't know. I don't know how much sugar is in here. You can probably look. I bet they have the macros or whatever it is. Maybe. Eh. They can find them out probably pretty easily. Right. Okay, what's on yours, Sarah? Oh, actually drink, drink less sugary drinks is on mine. Because, and this, I said that because I love soda. I love like, um, Gatorade body armor stuff, but I do drink in a lot of chocolate milk. A lot. Like, if I have chocolate milk in the house, I'll probably drink three, like, large glasses in a day. Do you drink Fair Life chocolate milk? No. It's too, it's like chalky. I don't like that. I actually think quick star or quick trip or whatever has the best chocolate milk. Noted. Yeah. It's very good. Even if you get the one that's like low fat or whatever, the 1 percent or whatever it is. Sorry, I'm making noise. It's still delicious and wonderful. Nice. So good. Yeah. Do you have another one you want to share? Yeah, sure. Um, there's quite a few that are about my kids. So like Bronson learning to read. Thank you. He's well on his way. Um, and then having the kids be more involved in activities like sports and not so afraid to participate in stuff. Yeah. So are they shy or just scared to try something new? I think both. Yeah. It can be a little intimidating. Yeah. And they already have preconceived thoughts about like other sports and stuff. Oh, what are they interested in? Well, Gus wants to do golf. Yeah. And archery. Oh. You know, kind of stuff that's like not really, we were like, do you want to try soccer or like t ball? And he's like, no. And I was like, okay, fair. And then I was talking about how I did archery as a kid and he was like, oh, I want to do that. That sounds really fun. And I was like, okay, great. So you have to be eight to do it here in our like city stuff. So he's eight now, so he can do that this coming fall. Nice. So who does it? The parks and rec or cool. Yeah. And then their school actually has archery now too, but it won't be until he's like 10, he can participate, but maybe he'll be, he'll be like better hopefully by that point. So he won't be, you know, I remember watching the Hunger Games and like, you know, Katniss is just such a badass with the bow and everything. It's so cool. We did like archery a little bit in gym and like, I'm like, oh, yeah, this is easy. Oh my god. And then like, I would have it, but then my arrow would fly off the bowstring. I'm like, what the heck? And I'm like, this is hard. It's embarrassing. I have the kids learning to swim on there. Oh, yeah. All kinds of stuff like that. Yeah. I should add swimming lessons to ours because we kind of slacked on it this last year. Yeah. I don't think our kids got a single thing out of their swimming lessons. And that's not to say anything against the instructors. That's just, you know, I'm sorry, my kids are kind of weenies about water, which like same. Can they put their head, their face, their whole, can they submerge underwater? Gus can kind of, Bronson, like If he gets a drop of water on him, he freaks out. So, even in the shower. I didn't even like, I didn't think anything of it and then I'm experiencing that now with my kids and I'm like, how hard it is it to, you know, I just I was such a water bug. Yes. Oh, I know. So like, you also have different experiences growing up like in the country and on the farm. You know? I had a bank in Paris that could take me to the pool. Like it wasn't like a creek that I could, you know, just run into. Calissa. My bad. But yeah, I just um, I'm like, what's so scary? Just put your head underwater and I don't want to. I know. I'm like, huh. It's like you're just gonna be wet. Yeah. I'm right here, it's not like you're gonna drown. Like what's the worst that can happen? And the funny thing is when I watch like videos of like, Oh, my dad would throw me in the river and like, just scares me. And I'm like, Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. Psychos. Yeah. Speaking of unsupervised or unsupervised swimming, um, my children this morning, I woke up to Carver at 5 30 AM telling me that Anders had taken a bath. Oh, what? And that they had all taken a bath and that he needed to get dressed. Oh, what? So they all woke up. Gannon woke me up at four, asked if he could sleep on my floor. I said no. Go back to bed. It's four o'clock. Mm hmm. And then at five thirty, I was like, I could not fall back asleep, so I was still laying there awake, 530, they apparently all went downstairs and all took a bath together. I mean that's kind of sweet, but also scary. And also, don't wake me up at 530. Yeah, that's true. I had just fallen asleep. I got barely any sleep last night, it was awful. Oh no. It was awful. So, yeah. They all took a bath. Yeah. It's so sweet though. It's cold. I love when like, like, yes, I know that's annoying, but you're going to like look back on that in 20 years and be like, Oh, that was so sweet. That's so funny. You know, um, maybe 20 years. Yeah. Yeah. In 20 years. I'm just thinking about like, you know, the faucet, like if someone were to bang their head on the faucet or there was an accidental drowning or. I get really scared cause I straighten my hair and use a blow dryer and I set it down, which is right next to the tub. And I always try to put it back, but you know, I'm always afraid one day the tub is going to be filled with water. The kids are going to be splashing it and they're going to try to grab. Do you unplug it from the wall? I should. Yeah. Cause that would at least, you know, I'm still like, Oh my God, toaster water. That's just what I'm like. Yeah. But I'm trying really hard to like. Put it away every single time. Yeah, I just that stuff like yes, that's sweet. But yeah Someone could have got really hurt. Yes apparent you kind of freak out about stuff for sure. Yeah So I was not pleased and then I was just not pleased to have been woken up that early Oh, like go to bed you guys. What are you doing? Then I found out they've been setting alarms for 6 a. m Why they know how to set their own alarm alexa? Yeah, they have the alexa. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah You So just take it away. Yeah, I'm gonna I just like you're not allowed out of your room until 7 a. m. Now. Oh I get that be like Alexa you listen to me from now I'm the boss. Yeah, I don't know if you could tell a I that Maybe I don't know So, yeah, I'm on the struggle bus a little bit today. Shoot. It's okay. I'm sleepy. It's okay. I need an Ilani. Yes. Oh, gosh. But I can't because I got to go home and sleep. Oh. Because I work tonight. Mmm. So. Shoot. What else do you have on your list, Kalissa? Um, let's see here. Sorry if I sniffle. No, that's okay. Um, I want to do more mountain biking. We really didn't get a lot of mountain biking in this year. That was a bummer. We only had one mountain biking trip and that was it. So. Yeah. Want to do some more of that? Yeah. More kayaking, more tubing. Kayaking. Outdoor stuff. That'd be fun. Mm hmm kind of on that line How do you guys feel about when you guys go on vacation? Are you relaxing vacationers or are you like do it vacationers? Like do you like to activity? I like to relax. Same. Same. Like Do you guys remember that there wasn't a TV in our cabin? Yes. Oh, yeah. That was a problem. Yeah. Shoot. Cause I like to lay around and do nothing and take naps and yeah, yeah. I do like to explore, but I'm not like someone who wants to go on like a 15 mile hike or something. No. Not any. Yeah. No hikes. No. I mean, no physical. thing, but like riding a boat. Sure. I'll do that. You know, if we got a whale watching or dolphin watching. Yeah, excursions would be fun when you're like. Sightseeing and sightseeing, but like I gotta sit and sightsee. I'm not gonna Walk up this and then go through here and I don't know. I don't mind like a walking tour But I'm not trying to like go in nature and experience nature Like that's not my definition of like an exciting vacation. So I just like to, yeah, sit by, sit back and relax and depends on who I'm with because if I'm, if I'm with my kids then I feel like I have to do something with them because they don't know how to relax like that. And the TV thing, yep, Cutter thinks all TVs have Bluey connected immediately. He's like, play Bluey. I'm like, Cutter, you're talking to, um, A TV that does not do that. Cause you talk to the remote too. Carver does that all the time. Yeah. Play Blippi on YouTube. That's funny. I didn't know you could say on YouTube specifically. Oh my gosh. I'll have to do that. Cause usually I just search it. Yeah. That's genius. Yeah. That's pretty great. Love that. Um, I have some book goals. Okay. So hold on. One of your goals last year was to read a hundred pages. I think it was 200 books. 200 books. How did that go? Not there. Definitely there. What were you at, roughly? Um, I don't think I even broke 100 last year. I think I was at 89. Dang. I know, cause I, and I started a job at like the last, I don't know, third of the year. And I just had so much less time and I was like, I was just doing other things all the time. I could see you just like reading one of your books at recess. I was, yeah. Like after I was done teaching, I was like, okay, I need to just like sit and be silent for a while. Cause that was too much talking after, you know, after like living through much, so much silence for so long. So there was a good portion of time where I was like reading, but then I was like, you know, I have lesson planning that I need to do and like all kinds of other stuff. So I like way fell off the second half of the year, but I think that's still pretty good. I agree. It's not great, but it's fine. More than me. Yeah. I lowered my goal a little bit to 150 for this year. Okay. So hopefully we'll get a little closer. Yeah. So. We'll see. So far starting off, I'm reading like three books right now and I haven't finished one of them yet. Although it's only like 12 days in, 13 days in. So, you know, we'll see how it goes. That's an interesting strategy. Yeah. Well, I started one and then I got bored and then I started a different one and I got bored and then I started one. Oh, this is great. So now we're just, you know, I think that's my fear too is like reading a book and it's like super boring or like super, yeah. I'm like, no, give me something like right away. Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah. And then Read My Bible More is on there. Not very good about consistency in that area. So, that's on there too. I don't think I could. Read My Bible? Yeah. I've been seeing a lot of the influencers. I've just seen a lot of They um, you know. Well, you don't have to start in Genesis, like. We don't have to read Old Testament. Like, yeah, you could start, you know. A lot of people say to start with, like, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. I just get like the Bible app and then just put a widget and so you can see a verse every day. Mm hmm. Oh, that's nice. That would be good. Yeah, that'd be easy. But I always see those influencers and they wake up at 5, do their Bible thing, highlight, write, journal, and I'm like, no way. No, you don't. And I'm not a journaler. Like, I don't understand people who journal. Close, are you a journaler? No. Okay, I just don't get it. Are you a journal? Oh, yeah, Hannah's a journalist. Yeah, we've talked about it. I just don't get it. How? Like, what do you, how do you Funnel it from your brain on to, I, it used to be like I write about my day, especially having newborns. And because I think it'd be fun to look back and be like, oh on this day I was, I didn't do anything. I breastfed or whatever. Yeah. And then it kind of became like just my whole life basically. So yeah, just an everyday day. Write what we did. I write my thoughts and feelings. Yeah. Wow. I don't know. And you still do it? I wrote on here, try to journal daily because I've been journaling maybe once a month. Oh. And just doing like a full catch up so it's like five pages of like everything that happened. That'd be cool to look back on. Yeah. You save them for your kids and stuff. I don't know. I don't know who it's for. Maybe your great great grandkids will read it and be like great great grandma Hannah, great grandma Hannah, did nothing but sit on the couch and feed a baby. What about financial goals? Not necessarily just like make more money or anything, but like, you know, specific stuff. Specifically debt free by October. Because you have student loans, right? Yeah, student loans should be done in February. Nice! You said it's coming up! February? February. Weird. February? February. February. February. That's strange. February. Cool. How'd you pick up on that? I just noticed. I don't know. Interesting. And then, yeah. And then the rest of it by October. That's exciting. Yep. Very excited for that. Got some big financial goals. And then hopefully emergency funds saved by December. That's awesome. Fully funded. That's awesome. So. Cause what's your emergency? Is it three months? Uh, we have three months right now, but six months would be 35, 000, so that's what we want to have saved next. Mm hmm. Nice. So, yeah. Sorry about the hiccup. What about you, Hannah? Um, I guess I just had to pay it forward more, and donate more, and volunteer more, so, um, yeah, because I, Nick is, he's handling all the money, and like, we've both been financially just responsible, so, um. No, not really any debt. We're gonna try to pay off the house by March. Nice. And then that, that just kind of leaves, I mean, like I said, I'd like to pay it more, pay it forward. And I want to do it pay it forward, like I pay for someone's groceries. I remember Cutter was a newborn and I was a new mom. It was my second time out in public at Target. I was with my sister in law and I was just like, Oh my gosh, he slept through the whole night, like pretty decently. I think I got like three hours of sleep and I feel really good. And, um, I actually washed my face and took a shower today and now we're here. And I, I was up next at the Starbucks counter and the lady behind me, she's. Oh, cause I said my drink and the barista's like, what's your name? And I'm like, Hannah, the lady behind me was like, Hannah. And I'm like, yes. And she's like, can I pay for your drink? And I'm like, Oh, sure. Why? Oh, and she's like, I just think you deserve it. Cause I think she was overhearing my conversation. And I just thought that was the sweetest thing. And I was like, Oh, I'll never forget it. So I want to do something like that for somebody. That's nice. Yeah. That is nice. I would feel awkward doing that. I think she did. Yeah. Cause she, you know, the way she was like, can I pay for your drink? Like just kind of scrunched up shoulders and like, yeah. Trying not to offend. Like I'm not saying anything about you. I just want to do something nice. Yeah. But that's something sweet. So I want to do something like that for somebody. That's nice. I like that. That's really cool. Yep. Very cool. I like to pay for people's dinners. If there's an old, old, someone old sitting at the table alone. There's something about millennial. It's we say they're old. There's like that TikTok trend, millennial sees an old person just like, just chilling and eating dinner. But then they're just like freaking out and crying. Because we automatically think that they're like, Or antithesis just died. Lonely. Yeah. They come here every day because they don't know how to cook. That's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. We just jumped to the worst case scenario. Is it empath? Yes. Mm hmm. Or natural empaths. Yes. We make up this whole backstory of everything about them. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. I just think it's, you know, specifically old. Is that what you said for old people? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. The show Superstore, he was trying to help this old lady assist, kind of budge in front of the whole line. And everyone's like, hey, that's not fair. And he's like, guys, she's old. And then she turned around and looked at everyone who's like all races. And she's like, yeah, us white people, we take care of our own. And then he totally was like, oh, you're the wrong person. Oh my goodness. Is that the one, the show with, um, America Ferreira? No, I was thinking of that guy. Who's that guy? Not the guy that did Tosh. Um. The show with the guy? David? David something? He's a comedian. Sorry. He's got dark hair. He's kind of like, built like Calvin. He's tall. Dark. No, no, no. He's not tall. He's short. I must be thinking of something else then. Dark hair, but I don't know. America Ferreira, she was like the main star in that show. It's a really funny show. Yeah, she watched it. Yeah, I've heard it was funny. Um, I have pay off our roof, cause we had our roof redone, pay that off. And, uh, what was the other thing? Don't you hate doing like boring home updates? Yes. Oh, we do our bathroom was the other one. Yes. That's a fun one. It is, but it's going to be like 10, 000. And like, we're not going to do that until we pay off the roof. So, that should be done like relatively, relatively quickly, but. The bathroom will be fun. But we only have one bathroom. So I don't know what we're going to do in the meantime. Have two toilets facing each other. Oh, I'm nervous. I'm nervous. If I'm being honest to, I told Calvin that we have to wait until summer for sure to start because I can't summer well, but I have to go to work. Like I can't just not shower. Yeah. You know, like it's nice to be able to go to work and like go to the bathroom, but I have to shower. Like, I'm not going to shower. You have a gym membership? I can't, but it doesn't have a NAP. Yeah, we don't have, doesn't have locker. So it'd be nice if we had a shower at the gym. At our gym. Yeah. But we do not. So we could just bathe in the zinc. But it's gonna take a lot of crystals. Yeah, that's true. That's true. That's, I use a mineral salt deodorant if anyone didn't get that. So she's mentioned it a couple times now on the podcast. Mm-hmm She uses crystals. Let's not go crazy here. It's not a, it's a mineral salt. It's not a crystal and not woo woo. Okay. Not that kind of woo woo. Like conspiracy woo woo. Not like, like crystal woo woo. That's very like astrological. And that's not my thing as we've all discovered. So no offense to anyone who's into that stuff, but Um, um, you said something about volunteering more. I just made it into a worship band. You did? I did. Oh, that's so exciting. You play worship at the church. Yeah. So, I'll be singing and playing guitar. That's so fun. Not, not soon. I think like, uh, like in February, March. Yeah, I'm excited. That's fun. That's awesome. So I got my guitar restrung and got it cleaned up Is Craig gonna be with you too? Nope. Keyboarding it? I wish. Not for right now. Family band. Yeah. Put that on your bingo card, please. Family band. Oh my gosh. How fun would that be? Anders could do like a little like Oh my gosh, you could get a triangle. You could get a xylophone. You could get a tambourine. Someone could get that ch ch ch ch ch What's that called, ba cla cla ba cla ba cla What is that called? I'm thinking baklava, but that's a dessert. Balaclava? Is that what it's called? I forget. I don't know. Catherine, if you're listening, weigh in. I'm just sound like I knew what you were saying when you went. She knows what's up. I get it. Or like an egg shaker. Yeah. Yeah. Egg shaker. Can't go wrong with an egg shaker. Oh no. Sleigh bells, something fun the kids could just like Bang around on. Cool. Wow. That's awesome. That's so exciting Very cool. Are you really excited to like have that kind of experience? Are you doing it by yourself? Mostly nervous. Yeah No, so it'll be with like a full drums, lead guitar, bass, keyboard So you go to like a big church. Yeah. Well, no, sorry I got you in my hat. I mean bigger Yeah, um You I don't know.

Once you do it singing in front of like a hundred people Yeah, once you do it, no big deal It'll be like dark out there. You won't even like barely see anybody Just picture everyone in their underwear. No, don't do that. That would be so embarrassing. Wouldn't you feel odd? Or like if you get really into your imagination, you're like, Yeah, I could see it. Oh, gross. Ew! Yeah, that'd be like a weird like, Yeah, maybe I won't be doing that. Yeah. That's exciting.

I'm like, just get this over with Yeah. But, uh, WNBA, that's fun. Yeah. Yeah. The energy is amazing. I bet. Mm-hmm Yeah. And my mom's super into WNBA. Oh, really? Oh, is she gonna watch on rivaled? Yeah. What's that? Is she what? Of the un unrivaled? That's the three on three. Oh, I'm sure she's going to, yeah. Yeah. What does that mean? They take some of the players that want to be on a three on three. Oh. I think Nafisa Collier and Brianna Stewart are starting it. So, Caitlin Clark's not playing. But, Kate Martin is. So, she's another favorite. Yeah. From the Hawkeyes. Cool. And mom's excited to see her play for the new team. Mm hmm. Oh, does she get transferred or something this year? They opened up a new team, the Valkyries. Oh. Mm hmm. From Iowa? Like, from Nope, this is the NBA League. Okay. So They're stationed in Texas? Question mark? Uh Texas is quite large, so it would make sense if they had, like, more than one team. I feel like Not Seattle. No, it's Seattle. Is it? It's Portland. Oh, Portland. Yes. Yep. Mm hmm. Cool. Yeah, Texas, Portland, same thing. It's the same, like, area, like, western area of the country, kind of. Funny. Yeah, that's not the same area at all. No, not even a little bit. Nope. My nephew is in the playoff game this coming week. Next week for college football. Mm hmm really proud of him He almost had a touchdown last week except the guy that there was a holding flag There was a flag called for holding he would have had a touchdown last game. Oh Yeah, he's been doing a good job All the games are televised aren't they yeah, but the problem is that they're always on Same with WNBA stuff. When we talked about that, they're always on like different channels of ESPN and like this and that, whatever. Like we only have so many channels here. You only get so many channels and then a streaming service. They'll be like, yeah, we have it, but you got to pay for it. And it's so stupid. Yeah. So I'm really glad my mom has cable. And so she lets us come over sometimes and watch ESPN at her house. Nice. So yeah. I'm thankful. Her husband likes to watch the games and stuff. So, I appreciate it. Well, that's good. Yeah, yeah. I'm not just like walking in like, Hey, turn off your crap and put on mine. Yeah, we were trying to watch Wheel of Fortune and I was like, Guys, it's game time. The Wheel of Fortune with Ryan Seacrest on it? I have no idea. Probably. I think he's the new host. My mom loves Wheel of Fortune. I wish it would have been someone different. Why? A different host versus Ryan Seacrest. He's kind of like overdone. I feel at this point. Yeah, that's why I'm saying like everything Yeah, that's why I want someone new Make maybe ed o'neill the guy from modern family jay Um the ginger guy. I don't know the older guy the jiu jitsu guy al bundy al bundy The one that was married to sofia vegara Yes, yes. Okay. Not something like him. Was he really? What? On the show. Oh, on the show. I thought it was in real life. I'm like, wow. No, I think she's married to another guy who's Italian, but he's They divorced. Back to Joe. Just kidding. Joe Megliano or something. Yeah. Yeah. They got a divorce. Nevermind. Yep. They were a beautiful couple, but Beautiful with eyes. In eyes. In eyes. looking. Yeah. I don't know about like personality wise. He's a host on the Deal or No Deal island. It's really good. It's like Survivor but not Survivor. Interesting. They don't have to live. I had a patient that was watching that the other night. It's so good. Apparently there's a whole game show channel. Yes, the GSM. What? Game show network. That's so cool. Yes, because I love game shows. I didn't want to be on one. We never watch them anymore. For how many people are in the world? I don't know a single person who has attended a game show or been on a game show. Isn't that weird? Well, I think there's like a very specific, not type of person, but there are people who like, that's their life mission to like be on a game show or like be in the audience. Like that's there. Like someone loco was just on survivor. I think she was close to winning. Oh really? She was in like the third. Yeah. She was from Charlestown city. That's impressive. Mm hmm. I guess I do know, um, Barbecue showdown. Yes, we talked about that. Yep, Tyrone. Mm hmm. Yeah, someone was just talking about him. Yeah. Yep TNT barbecue So I guess I do kind of he knows Carver. He'll recognize Carver nice cuz Carver got his autograph and was like So he recognizes Carver now when he sees him Cute very cool Along the same lines of going back. Sorry to um, hobbies. I've been playing my sims a lot again and sorry, I started a like a legacy save which is basically like generations Um, so my goal is to continue on that because usually I get bored and quit after like a few generations Do you play this on the computer? Yeah on my pc Well, it's a laptop. It's a gaming. Okay. Okay. Okay, but yeah nice. Yeah carver wants to play sims I think he's a little too little yet. Oh, yeah Yeah What are you doing in Sims that you say, oh yeah? Well, just like, so they call it woohoo. Yes. Which is like, doing dirty. Oh my god. Um, so. And make a baby and. Yeah, so it's not like there's anything graphic unless you get modded. Um, but the idea itself is like Gus has talked about wanting to play and I'm like, not yet. Yeah. No. You're too young. Yup. And he likes it because I don't think he cares about gameplay so much, but he likes Minecraft, like building stuff. Mm hmm. And he sees me build houses, obviously. He's like, Oh, that'd be really fun. I want to do that. Yes. I think that's what Carver would love about it. Yeah. And that was my favorite part too. Yeah. Love building. The building. Yeah. Yeah. And. the decorating and starting the stove on fire and deleting all the doors. You can like, you can like update, um, upgrade toilets to give them composting containers and they'll randomly just like start on fire. Yeah. And I think it just stressed me out. So I'm like, I can't do it. That's too bad. Like trying to find your, you know, build the perfect house. And I just can't. Yeah. I'm like, take it too seriously. Build a swimming pool, remove all the ladders. You can get out without a ladder. Oh dang it. So you have to like build a fence or a wall around it. You guys are psychos. Get stuck in there. Poor characters. Sometimes you just, you build a room with no doors and then lock them in there. Sometimes people make like jail cells in the basement. Yeah. And you lock people in the basement. What if it was like actual, like you're actually controlling someone in real life? Like this. That'd be wild. That would be crazy. There's a lot of people who believe we're in a simulation. We are. Oh, okay. I'm just kidding. I don't do it. I'm just kidding. We'll have to talk about that more seriously sometime. Because the birds. You know, the birds. What about the birds? Birds are real. That's what everybody says. Who's everybody? I've heard this so much from people on the internet. I've heard this before. Sorry. Yeah, so it was like a whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. I've heard it. It's weird. Because birds are like floating, or they're floating. People say they have like cameras in them, or um, that's very Hunger Games too. Um, I forget what the other stuff was, but yeah. Yeah, crazy. Another, like a conspiracy talk, we'll have to do. Cause I love conspiracies and hearing about them. Gotta keep a list. Yes. What else do you guys have? Um, tummy tuck. Oh, yeah, I tried to call and schedule it. They're not scheduling out through December yet. Oh, oh my god I was gonna say I thought that you had said something about getting that scheduled. But yep, December. Yeah That's exciting. Mm hmm. Yeah, I'm very excited Is that doing a lot of research? Is that gonna be after the holidays or you gonna be like before the holidays? So like like the first week in December, I'll get it. Okay, so you'll be probably mostly fine by the time you okay Yeah, that'll be good. Yeah Yeah, I feel like I'm not asking to see you naked, but I do want to see you before and after. Oh, yeah, for sure. Here's my question that I keep wrestling with. It's like I'm open and honest about it on the podcast that I'm gonna get a tummy tuck But like to actually like go to my work and be like hi I'm gonna need December off for a major surgery. You don't have to tell them what it is I know yeah, you don't have to but like are your boss. Am I gonna cool? Yeah. Oh, yeah, they're super cool But like my co workers do I tell like my co workers that I'm getting a tummy tuck? Sure. We're really close with them I feel like honestly See judge you for getting something done on your own body? That's kind of their own problem. Like, yeah. Are they mad because they're jealous and they wish that they probably have surgery of some kind to like feel better about themselves. I don't know. Like they're allowed to have their own opinion. I think that's fine. It's freedom of speech. They can have their opinion, but like, do you have to care? No, I'm just trying to decide how honest I want to be about it because I could say something like, Oh, I'm having a hernia repair on my abdomen. Are you? Um, no. Okay. Just lying. Just lying. But like, you know, surgery would be similar, you know, so. And it's nice with the hospital because they, like, the people in the operating room can't go around and be like, oh we did this on her, right? Yeah, right. Yeah, because there's HIPAA. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yep. So, that's fun. Mostly tell their wife about it or their husband or whatever. No, I don't think they can say anything at all. Yeah, but you think people will just be talking like not talking to their spouse about like Man, I had this lady on the table today and I saw her insides and she had something on her gallbladder Maybe like that but like not saying like, oh mary sue beth Mary sue He's gonna say Mary Sue Ellen, but. Oh, I love that. I don't know if that's cuter than Mary Sue Beth. But like unless they're saying like an actual name. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's like. Cutting it. Personal information. No pun intended. Move all personal information. Funny! I didn't mean to. But that'll be exciting. So happy for you. Yeah! I love it when some people can find, you know, something real confident in. Yes. Yeah. I think it's going to be life changing. I hope so. I've been following, um, Reddit, the Tummy Tuck page on Reddit. Oh yeah. And seeing everybody else's like before and after recommendations and, um, stuff like that. What goes right, what goes wrong. Wrong is kind of scary, but yeah. You get like a bunch of nerve endings, like you don't feel anything. Is nerve damage like common? So you can get like a tattoo. With any surgery. I was gonna see right there. Yeah. That didn't felt like, how didn't we both say that we have numbness in our C-section? Yes. But I have itching mostly. Okay. I think my nerves are confused. I also get itching. Yeah. And it's like burning itch. Mm-hmm Like in my lower stomach. Yeah. From C-sections. Yeah. You wouldn't understand. No, you wouldn't understand v. Birther, It was both. So I feel like I can say it. Point, point and laugh. Crazy, crazy. What else you got? Oh, another one I had on there, well, better self talk. But also, that kind of goes along with yours. Um, just like personal. Um, but a friend of ours, a newer friend, is moving. And we were kind of talking about this last night. She was helping me with some of these. And, um, I know this about myself, we've talked about this before. I'm really terrible about, like, keeping in contact with people. And, um, Yeah, I feel like Hannah has, like Hannah lives across the street from me and I don't think I've texted her like one single time this whole entire year. Like, and I understand we're only 12 days in, but like, you know, we live across the street. Like, okay. I just, I'm really bad at that. And like, I have had other friends that have moved. Um, and it's just really, it's a struggle. Yeah. So I want to be better about this year. I just saw a couple of people sharing it and I don't know how I feel about it because the thing says Don't call those who don't call you. Don't text those who don't text you. And it's like, and I'm like, okay, then you're just kind of like Cutting off a relationship. Yeah. Yeah. Because I It's gonna be a lonely life. Yeah. Yeah, and then they're gonna, but they have that attitude, like, well, they didn't call me, so I'm like, I'm not gonna call, like, it's just that attitude. Which I get. Yeah, I understand that. But then also, I'm like, I am terrible at, like, doing the same thing. Yeah. Uh, but like when I talk to the person we could like talk for Yeah. Yeah. Hours. Absolutely. Right? Like we just catch up to where we were. Right. I think life gets busy and to assume that people are being malicious instead of, especially that they're just busy. Mm-hmm Um, but yeah, it's not malicious. Yeah. Like when Hannah, who was like our first guest, when she comes back to town, hopefully sometime ever mm-hmm Like, I'll be so happy to see her be so happy to catch up. But like we never text mm-hmm And I just. Yeah, do um, I send voice messages. That's easier for me. Like what do you say? Like today I went to the grocery store. Yeah Today I'm driving to Mason City doing my podcast thing Didn't sleep well last night Hope all's well with you Here's like my life. I gotta ask how Nick does it because he He talks to everybody. So does Calvin. And I'm like, I haven't seen this person in four years. And Nick's like, oh, we talk every single week. That's so weird. And I'm like, how do you just Yeah, keep in touch. Yeah. Probably send funny memes for each other. I don't know what it's Oh, that's true. I, I did used to send people tiktoks all the time, but I don't really do that anymore. Mm-hmm I used to too, but then I would get really mad when no one would react to it. Yeah. And then they would resend what I sent them, and I'm like, I just sent this to you like 15 tiktoks ago. Right. You didn't take five seconds and watch it. Don't be offended because I just found out where the messages were on TikTok. Oh my gosh, I've been sending you so many. I know, so I went back and I hearted a couple of them. Okay. I'll have to go back and look because there are things that I send you guys like for the podcast. Yeah. And, or like, yeah, like when we get to the Justin Baldoni stuff eventually, like there are things that I just like sent you or like, you know, things like that. To watch those. That's when I found it. Yeah, and so then I was like, Hello. I'm so TikTok illiterate. Speaking of which, do you think TikTok is going to go? No, no, I don't think so. I don't have a single fear of losing it. Yeah. Like, do you remember Vine? Yeah. I feel like it just disappeared and I was like, Hey, what happened to that one? But I feel like Vine was different in that it wasn't like as old, whoopsie, it wasn't as old as TikTok was, is it? Like Vine was only around for a short amount of time, two years, I think. Yeah. TikTok is like. So I've been like Instagram reels, cause that's what Nick wants it. You know, just go to Instagram reels. I'll go on Instagram reels and I don't think the algorithm is as good. It's literally brain rot content. Like it's AI, just so stupid. And I'm like, I can't watch this. I think you need a more detailed algorithm, because I love Instagram reels. I feel like that algorithm is fun. So, Nick, if me and Nick message each other, I'll get relationship, marriage, humor. Yeah. If my brother sends me stuff, he sends me very, just, raunchy, raunchy, raunchy, naughty jokes, and then I get that. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just I feel you there. Mm hmm. Yeah, although I do like this. Well actually tik tok does it too I like the feature where you can see like if a person that you follow or know or our friends with or whatever like If they stalk your profile, oh, I didn't know that. Yeah Oh, if you if they like certain reels or whatever, you can see that they've liked it So then I won't like send them that reel. Oh, yeah, I do like that. Yeah, so yeah, there was someone close to me. That was Reposting videos of like Relationship in trouble kind of stuff. Oh gosh. Oh god. Girl. Like I'm knowing way too much. Yeah. Yeah. Personal business. Yes. So that's where I was like, oh shit. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I don't think TikTok will be banned. No. I don't think so either. No. I know there were people that were worried, but I don't think so. Yeah. I think especially cause I was listening to something that Trump was talking about. I forget he was on a podcast or something and he, his whole thing was like, yeah, we won the like young generation through Tik TOK. Like why would I ban Tik TOK? Like that's the dumbest thing ever. So, you know, All the stuff in the world, like You're worried about TikTok? TikTok is really what everyone's worried about. I understand that it's, it's, it's Chinese owned still. Yeah. I understand that. People are so funny. They're like, you can have my data. I don't care. Yeah. I mean, what are you, like, what are you searching that is? What kind of data do you enter to TikTok? I don't know. So if someone's like researching how to make a bomb or something on TikTok, like you have your own problems. Like, I don't think China's going to care about, we're like researching how to make a bomb. Like, but not, but there's so many small businesses that have made it bigger on TikTok, especially with like TikTok shop and stuff. Absolutely. A lot of like the book writers, you know, they've They reach out to audience better than just the regular, I don't know how they advertise for their books, but yeah So I kind of feel bad for all those small businesses that like really made it big. Yeah, think of all the podcasts That have made it big from Tick Tock Nicholas yeah, and he's like yeah cancel it and I'm like Nick this was your first platform that like sheist him because they, they uh, Cool yeah, the creator codes I heard the creator bond like Isn't as great as it used to be maybe? I'm not sure. I think it changed because, uh, Michaela Everyone's saying that she's making bank. Well, yeah Which like, okay Do you think, sorry, this is off topic Do you think that she's making more, more money from like deals and stuff like that's where the bulk of her money comes from. The sponsors Yes. Okay, cuz I was like, I have heard so much about the um, Creator fund like not being that great. Yep. It's so like not be how do you make money from the creator fund even? Like you barely make any like you'll see like her ad it'll say like a sponsor at the bottom, right? So she's getting paid. Yeah, which yeah, that's just crazy That's just crazy. Yeah, I know how much ads pay Nick So I'm like, well, they probably pay the same for her and she's maybe more who knows she's posting like hourly, too Yeah, so Yeah, she's posting hourly sometimes. Yeah, she posts multiple times a day sometimes. Yes. Oh my god, that's tick tock That's short form performance. Yes to multiple times a day. The hardest thing is to getting all those followers to follow you on youtube That's really hard for it's difficult a lot of people Yeah Yeah, so so We will see. I kind of want to discuss more about that in a different episode. Okay. Well, I feel like we're at a pretty good stopping point today for this episode, so. I want to meet Big X the Plug. That's my last one. You want to meet what? I'm sorry, what? The rapper Big X the Plug. What? That's his name. Big X. The Plug. That is maybe the dumbest name I've ever heard. Apologies. Big X the Plug. But his songs are just so good in the gym. Oh, okay. He has banger after banger after banger after banger. Okay. So Nick's like, well, maybe I can get him on my, on my podcast on subscribe. And I'm like, Oh my God, Calvin says this all the time. He's like, man, I hope Nick gets him on the podcast too. Just anyone that Calvin really likes. He's like, man, I hope Nick gets him. Oh man, I hope Nick gets someone. He's just the one person that I really want to meet so bad. Okay. I've never heard of him. So maybe he's small enough. Oh, he's so good. Okay. So good. And when you go to the gym. But we don't, we're not into the same music, so I feel that I don't think I would like him. It'll get your blood pumping and everything and you're gonna be like, Yeah, yeah, get it, get it, get it. I don't want that to be true. Okay, you listen to Adele then. Uh, not in the gym. No. Never mind, I'll find someone like you. You said Adele, right? Yeah. Yeah, okay. You guys just joined in on sympathy or not. Okay! And on that. On that, this has been Kalissa, Hannah, and Sarah. Bye!
