Hello, this is Hannah, and Calissa, and Sarah, and This is our first time getting together in a long time, a couple weeks, and the roads are clear. Yes, it is springtime. Yes. Officially. I heard. I hope so. My mom told me it was supposed to be like 56 degrees or 67 or something. Yeah. Something. Today? Something crazy. In the 50s and 60s all week. This next weekend. Nice. And it's spring break. So all the kids are out. Mommy's out. Woo. Woo. Yes. Yeah. So your kids don't have school this week or next week? Oh wow. Oh my gosh. Two weeks. Geez. I'm so excited. Can't wait to sleep in, play a lot of video games. This was perfect timing too because my new expansion pack for The Sims came out. Oh. On like Friday. Five? Four. Four. Yeah. Still on Sims 4. You know, from what I've heard, sorry this is, but. They will never have a sims 5. Really? They're just going to apparently keep continuing to expand. Yeah, which Don't know how I feel about that. Yeah, do you have to go out and physically buy this game? No, no, it's all on like Steam or Origin. It's not Origin anymore. I'm sorry. It's EA app or whatever. Is this a website? They're like streaming sites for video games. Oh Okay, and what do you like to do in the sims? Oh, I love to build I love to build, love to build and decorate and stuff. I do obviously like also play. Yeah. And wreak havoc and such. But you know, okay. Carver likes to build on his Minecraft. Mm-hmm That's, he's like, makes a bed and a library. Mm-hmm And like, this is my hotel and these are the win. You know, it's fun. Yeah. Love it. So I think he would like that part of Sims. Yeah. It's like interior design and literally you hand him a controller and he figures out how to play a game. Yeah. So like there's no. Yeah, us downloaded a, like, a hospital building game on Calvin's PlayStation. And I'm like, oh, we're just building hospitals. Okay. He's like I want sims so I can build and I was like maybe when you're older There's some inappropriate things There's gotta be a sims for kids, right? There is. Yeah, there's like free play. Maybe that's minecraft or something. Yeah, like free play and stuff, but yeah We don't need them Interesting. Well, we have done some traveling. Whoo. And since we've met gosh, I can't believe it's been that long since we've gotten together But yeah, I went to Florida It was good. It was great. Um, it only rained one night and that's really good. Yeah, that's impressive. Yeah. Um, and it poured, oh my gosh, we were outside dancing in the puddles. It was super cute. It was fun. Um, and yeah, it was just. A heck of a time. Um, I, it went very smoothly. Nobody got sick. Nobody, um, okay. So from the delayed, yes, from the beginning. So did you pack the night before or were you packed like weeks? Packed like weeks before. Yes. Because, and how many, this is just, I'm always curious to see how many people bring carry ons and bags. So we each had a personal item. Like a, your own? Carry on, not a carry on. It's like a little, like a backpack? Yes, like a backpack. And then, uh, Craig and I had carry ons and then we had a big checked bag. Okay. Yeah, which we probably didn't need the big checked bag because we didn't end up using some of it. Like, we had a life vest in there for Anders while Anders was, like, terrified of the ocean. So, he didn't even go close. So, um, we didn't need that. Like, I had a hat in there and just some random Random stuff that we really didn't need. Okay. You never know. Yeah. First time. You never know. And then how was, um, when was your flight? Um, it was nice. Our flight was at like 10. 30 in the morning, so we had plenty of time to get down there. We didn't have to wake up super early or anything like that. What airport? Cedar Rapids. Oh. Three hour flight or something, right? Yep. Or four hours or something. Yep. Three. So it's not too bad. Yep. That was great. And then the check in went smoothly and everything? Super smooth. It was great. Um, uh, and I was super nervous with the kids and they're, and like, I'm like, I have to do everything correctly. Yeah. What if I accidentally have a gun? I say that all the time when I'm going through security. Like it's just so, they're so intense. And they give you so many instructions, and it's like the kids don't have to take your shoes off, but you have to take your shoes off. The stroller has to be folded. You have to walk through the stroller, and then Anders was walking through the thing, and he's like, oh, look at this, touching all the sides, and they're like, don't touch the sides. I'm like, Anders, don't touch the sides. Seriously, they're gonna yell at a little, little toddler? Oh my gosh. And I'm like, oh my god, and I'm just like trying to get it. But the Cedar Rapids TSA was way nicer than the Fort Lauderdale TSA. Fort Lauderdale. They were just like over it. Oh. And there was, I imagine there's probably, yeah. And they get old people down there too, and they're just like cranky and, yes. Yeah. Yes. Classic. Um, I have, um, a little bit of a meta phobia. Do you know what that is? A meta, I don't Internet phobia? No. It is the fear. The fear of vomit. Oh. So I interesting. With your career Right. So I'm fine at work. Like, I can hold someone's puke bag. Like, I have no problem with it at work as long as it's contained. Okay. But if it's like an airplane, I'm just like, oh my god someone's gonna throw up and it's gonna like roll back and it's gonna be on my shoes and like Anyway, there was a little girl who threw up in the bathroom right in front of me. I was like, ah Okay, and then there was like someone puking in a garbage can and I'm like, why is there so much puke at airports? Oh at the airport. At the airport. Not the airplane. Yes Oh. Yeah. Stomach flu. I don't know. Have you guys noticed that ever? No, but like, my mom When we went to Florida one time with her. Yeah. She was kind of like anxious, but a little bit more like on edge. Mm hmm. And I didn't pick up on it because I didn't think people got motion sickness on an airplane. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And she's like, I wish I would have got a Dramamine because she like, I remember falling asleep on the airplane and all of a sudden I hear a And I'm like look over and she's puking in the puke bag because I was making fun of it. I'm like who brings a puke bag on the airplane and yeah, she was using it and I'm like that's That's literally disgusting. Like I couldn't even look at her and I'm like, this is so embarrassing. That would be me too. Oh my gosh. But yeah, she, she gets like really bad motion sickness and she's just, I think that's just how she was kind of off. Like just going in the airport. So maybe it's just like anxiousness and nerves and Do you get motion sick on airplanes? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Do you puke the whole way? No, I don't usually throw up. I Um, considering how often I throw up as a kid, I'm pretty good at like holding it in. Yeah. So like I never, I get really nauseous, but I almost never throw up for my motion sickness. I never. Pat on my back for that one. Yes. Good job. But like after an airplane, do you feel like you're tilting? I get wonky afterwards. It takes a couple hours to kind of. Yeah. Settle in. I hate that feeling. I never felt it, but like on the past couple trips that I've been on, just the airplane, I don't know if. I don't know. It's like after you've been walking on the treadmill for a while and you get off the treadmill and you're kind of like, whoa. I feel like the world is just tilting and I'm just like, I need to like lay down or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How'd the car seat situation go? Yeah. What'd you all do for, um, um, for car seats? We rented them from Enterprise. Oh, nice. They just put them in the car. Rockin Just picked them up. Rockin The rental car situation was Wongers, like we just like checked in and they're like, Oh, midsize SUV. Just what you want this one, this one, this one. And I'm like. And they're like, yep, it's running. Just go grab it. And I'm like, I'm not going to, like, I don't want to steal your car. What if I accidentally steal it? And they're like, no, this is a rental place, ma'am. Like, this is how it works. That's the employee's vehicle. Get out! Oh, jeez. So that was smooth. Good. Um, traffic was pretty bad when we first got there. Um, but we learned to like, just stay out of like, the regular busy traffic times. We walked everywhere. Oh, good. That was nice. Um. No Ubers? I guess you can't. We only ubered once. Because, uh, car seats. Yes, we only ubered once and that was because it was downpouring. And so, Andrews just sat on my lap for literally like three blocks. Did you bring a wagon? Yeah, controversial. I don't want to see any comments about that. Yes. No, I just, um, I think some of them are pretty lenient, but there was this one uber girl. Someone ubered for like a family and she's like, um, I don't know how big this family is guys and literally it's like a Circus coming out. It's like a mom an infant a toddler and then like four other older kids and she's like ma'am They cannot ride in my car. Like you have way too many people Yeah, and I don't have the car seats and the mom was fighting her. We do this all the time. They let us She's like, nope, not me and that's illegal But this mom was claiming, Nope, we've done it before. I mean, it was a whole video and everything. Like a TikTok video. Oh gosh. Yeah. So I think she was like, I can do the infant because they're in a carrier. But like everyone else, right. Yeah. No, broke the law. I did. It was downpouring. I was a little tipsy. So you got tipsy. Yeah. Craig was totally sober. So I was like, I had a couple of drinks of supper and then we were leaving and then it started, so we were out on this deck. And it was called Le Pub, which is what the restaurant, they had like a rainforest section. They had like, it was so cute. And it was just a phenomenal atmosphere experience. And we were sitting out by the water, um, and then it started downpouring. So they like shoved us all into this little. little hut over here. And so there's like five families eating in that picnic tables in this hut. And so then we go to leave and there's the five of us and we try to get an Uber, but we have to wait like out in the rain cause the restaurant is so packed. And so anyway, the Uber pulls up and we all pile in the Uber and it's literally like two blocks cause we walked there and then. Um, we just couldn't walk home. So, yeah. Her name was Olga. Oh, I love, that's my dog's name. The whole ride was 6. Wow. And I left her a 5 tip. Nice. But I guess with the distance, yeah. That seems pretty fair with the five of you. Yeah, and then I'm afraid we got her car wet, so I just said, Here, have some more money. She's probably like, no big deal. At that point you're already wet, why didn't you just walk the two blocks? I don't know. Okay. Well, she was tipsy, someone's gotta carry Anders. Yup, the stroller, the kids. Yeah. Oh boy. Oh boy. Decisions were made. Alright, well, I mean, y'all survived, so. Yes, we did. This is where we're at. Sarah's judging me right now. No, I'm not! Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. I'm just so scared to drink on vacation, cause I'm like, what if something happens and I need to, you know. That's why you drink. You don't worry too much. I suppose. As long as Calvin's there, I feel pretty good about it. He would be judging me the whole time. He'd be like, Sarah, get it together. Now with no kids. Oh yeah. Yeah. But kids, I don't know. Stressful. Maybe I'm just a little bit more on edge. I need something to relax me a little bit. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So it was good. And then the plane ride back, how was that? Everybody slept. Nice. It was great. Everybody slept on the way there. Everybody slept on the way home. Love it. We, um, did valet parking, which I've never done before. At the airport? At the airport. So we left, it was 18 degrees, negative 18 degrees that morning, on the morning that we left. So we pulled up to valet parking and we got our luggage out right at the door and we went right in the airport. We didn't have to like park X amount of miles away. And then also we know we couldn't bring our coats Because yeah, you're coat in Florida Yeah So we would have had to leave the coats in the car and then walk like all that way to the airport to get in So we didn't have anybody to drop us off. So We did valet parking. Normal parking is 16 a day. Valet parking is 20 a day. That's not that bad. Not that much difference. No. And so anyway, when I got off the airplane, I walked up to customer service desk and they're like, are you Kalissa? And I'm like, Yes. I am. And they're like, your car's waiting out there for you. It had been running, turned on, it had been scraped off, everything, and we just like literally got in and drove away. Dang. Wow. So, shout out to valet parking. Check it out the next time you guys fly. Nice. Calvin would never. He would drop us off at the door, go park, and then run in. That's insane. For four dollars a day? I mean, yes. Like that's 4 I could be spending on Culver's or something, you know? Priorities people, priorities. That's so good. Oh my gosh, that's awesome though. Honestly, that's a great deal. I don't think Minnesota, Minneapolis does that. I think they do. Do they? I'm pretty sure. I feel like most airports have ballet. Hmm. Pretty sure. I don't imagine that Nick would ever pay for that though. Um, no, because we park, I mean, he goes up the ramp, zigzaggy at the top and there's like no one there. What is those, those parking ramp things? I get lost in there. I'm like, how do you get out? You just keep going at the Nicki Minaj concert. That was all pretend. Make it till you make it people. Cause we were in one and I'm like. You're just like, no, that was a pretty chill one I think. Oh yeah. That one was pretty, that was chill. One was pretty chill. Minneapolis were some that are like really tight. And Nick, he's just so used to it. He's like, got one 60 up. That's insane. Like, ugh, skinny. It's probably just so used to traveling. Now that it's just literally, and sometimes I'm like, maybe we should just live in Minnesota because you are right there. Mm-hmm Yeah. You could just get like a cheap house. You could. I don't know. He's fine. We stay at the Radisson sometimes. Stay at the one that's in Mall America, then you can just go to the Mall America. That's the Radisson! Radisson Blue. Yes. It is pretty nice. It's okay. It's a fancy hotel. It's fine. Yeah. So I stay across the road at the other one. You know, expectations. There's TGI Fridays right across the road. Oh my gosh. And then there's a hotel right across the road so you just walk out of the parking lot up the Skywalk and then over and you have to walk through the Radisson Blue parking lot All the poor people have to walk through the rich people parking lot To get to the Mall of America, but it takes you right out by Aerie. So I mean it's and yeah That's the way that we go. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. Oh the airport Plane, how did you have your seating? Um, there was three on this side three on this side. So you bought like a pretty much a whole row Yes, except for one and we only had to sit by someone on the way back So it was me and anders so I just hauled anders on my lap And it wasn't like a crazy person. It was just a normal person. She had a newborn like, I can't imagine that baby was more than two weeks old. Wow. Oh, she just held it the whole time and it didn't make a sound. Imagine you're still bleeding and then you're walking around with your newborn on an airplane. In an airport. Yes. Terrible. Carrying all your luggage. Yeah. She was by herself. I mean, I would imagine she probably checked a bag instead of Good for her. My anxiety would be through the roof. Yeah. Just like, someone's gonna snatch my baby. Someone's gonna snatch me. Yeah. Yeah, I was like, that is, that's bonkers. You are a brave woman. Good for you, lady. Yes. Some people just do stuff, you know? Sometimes you just have to. You know what's crazy? But I'm like, what are you doing with a baby from Fort Lauderdale to Cedar Rapids, Iowa? Like, what? She was probably visiting family or something. Some people just go through their life and they don't experience anxious thoughts. Yeah. How can you, can you imagine? Sometimes I have those days. Really? Yeah. Wow. I don't know. Wow. I don't know. Yeah, I'm always stressing about something. Yeah. Always. Wow. It's just how I be. Some people really want to ask me. Some people are blessed. Yes. Not me. Yeah. Uh, Nashville. Random. Mm hmm. Tell me how that conspired. Um, so Nick and Zach, they have their podcast, Underwhelming. Mm hmm. And Zach and Nick are gonna like take turns every month to come to either Iowa or Nashville. Oh. And Nick was, you know, he's looking at our schedule. We were pretty clear and he's like, do you want to go to Nashville tomorrow? And I'm like, That's awesome. Okay! So, um, I literally just like ran through the house packing everything. Like, the boys clothes and what to wear for the, you know, just gotta be prepared for the weather. Yeah. And we have one checked bag. And I just had my little carry on. Wow. Yeah. A lot in there. Yeah. I'm the clothes are so little. I know. And I do like the army, like, I like roll it. Yeah. So like there was a lot of room, but I'm like, I bring my laundry bag and that just fills up. Yeah. And that I didn't pack like makeup or hair stuff. I'm like, man, yeah. I'm, I'm not expecting to do anything like just chill. And it basically was, but, um, the airport. Was kind of smooth ish. Nick has clear Free. Yeah, and I just have regular clear. Mm hmm. So he had it. He could take the boys Mm hmm, but security at Minneapolis was being kind of wonky and You know, they're yelling at Nick about something And then they're asking the boys, how old are you? What's your name? Who's that? And they'd point to Nick and they'd be like, that's daddy. So I'm wondering if human trafficking, if they like, Oh, yeah. Because you see a lot of those signs when you go into a bathroom. Yeah. If you need help, you got to do like this hand signal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, oh my god, like that was my first scary thought when I went to Minneapolis for the first time. I'm like, oh my god, this is the real world. Like, human trafficking really does happen. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, they were kind of like interviewing the boys and Nick said they were kind of being like doodies too. He doesn't talk. Yeah. Because they were talking to Cash. How old are you? What's his name? Uh, Cash. Like, you know. Right. Just toddler. Yeah. Nick's like, he doesn't talk. Yeah. And then, um. Oh my gosh. So that, Nick said that was kind of a nightmare. And they were waiting for me forever because. I had old people in front of me and the TSA person was yelling at them, Take your shoes off, your belt off, your electronics. And like every time he was about to go through the thing, he'd be like, Oh, I got this in my pocket. And I'm like, Why wouldn't you just empty all of your pockets? Just like look in all of your pockets and take it all out. I don't know. But he was just like, Oh, forgot this. Oh, forgot this. And then um, I had some Karens behind me. I only say Karens because it was taking forever for bags. And I'm like, I know I'm not gonna say anything, but they, they have the balls to say something because they like, We paid extra for blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and it's taking forever for our checked in bags. Like, what's going on? Why is it so slow? And the TSA people were like, I don't know why it's slow. And I'm like, yeah, I'm not gonna yell at the airport people like you guys can. Yeah, so they were all like riled up and they're all like in their cardigans like we pay extra and I'm like you do you I would not ever be brave enough to yell at a TSA agent. No. Never. Never. And they could be totally wrong. Or you could ask a question. They could arrest you for fun. Just like, literally. National security. Yeah. And that's the last thing I want to be on is like the national security. You know, fly list or something? Oh my god. Scary. Yeah, so the airport was kind of rough getting, you know, through security. And then it was smooth riding after that. Um, I packed snacks for the boys. We, we bought a row, so it was a kid, me, Cash, and then Nick was on the aisle next over. And I kept glaring at him when I had to like do their TV monitors and open each snack and their drinks. And I'm just looking at him and he's just kind of like, and I'm like, he's like, do you wanna switch? And I'm like, no, you won't do it. Right He's like, you're mad at me'cause I wanna help and I won't do it. Right. I'm like, I'll, it's fine. I got it. So, um, yep. The boys had a lot of suckers on the plane. Mm mm-hmm Um. Yeah, the plane, yeah, the plane ride there was not bad. And then Nashville, we hung out, stayed at their place. Um, it was Zach and his wife and they have this gorgeous house and they have these girls that are in cheer and they were actually going to go to Florida for cheer competition that next week. Oh my gosh. Yeah, so, um, but we got to watch like their showcase cheer. So that was kind of fun because the boys were both like a wide eyed, like looking at all these, like the costumes and the dancing and the flips. Yeah. And then they were kind of over it. They're like, I'm like, just go run in the hallway. Yeah. Um, you're one of those. Yeah, well Nick and Zach, like after Zach's girls got done performing, I'm like, just go burn some energy off. Because it was like a giant like sports complex, like there was every kind of room for each different sport. So, yeah. Just packed and busy. Yeah, but um, at the cheer competition, guess who I saw? Cecily Bachman. Pajamagate, girl. Pajamagate? Wait, shut up. Wait, what? Pajamagate. What does that mean? Um, from TikTok. Who are you? How do you not know about Pajamagate? I know her, I know her, but not because of that. I know her because there was, it was like her son's birthday or something, and then Or the daughter's birthday or something and then they let the sun also blow out birthday candles or something. I don't know who that is. Oh, you know who it is? Yeah, I know who it is. I just don't know what pajama gate is. I don't know what that means. They launched a line of pajamas. Her and her sister, right? Yes. Okay, and they were charging 99 a set for pajamas after talking about like how affordable they are and how the quality and all of this stuff and the affordability of it and the Accessibility and look at how and then they got roasted. They got roasted. Well, the pajamas were like bad were crappy pajamas They were like way too long Or just like the material just wasn't, didn't hold up. So then they all had to like lower the price and they're like just kept deleting all the bad comments. And then I guess they wouldn't send if some, if they knew a person bought their stuff. And they knew that they were a reviewer, they wouldn't send them their stuff. Yes. So they would, like, refund their money, be like, Nope, we're not gonna send you our jams. Oh, I did hear about this, but I didn't know that was her. It was, like, all over TikTok. I thought it was, like, Samantha or something. Is that the sister's name? Maybe. I think that's the sister. Okay, because I did hear about that. Her. I heard about that girl. But, like, um, you know, people were always making fun of her, like, get ready with me's, or, like, My daily life. Why? Because she just, she kind of does the same thing and it's just like not natural. She'll wake up and just like, It's like I didn't just go set the camera. Yeah, I didn't just set the tripod up and then she like wakes up, makes her coffee, reads her Bible, makes, you know, Bible notes in her Bible and I'm like, oh, come on. Maybe, I don't know, but she was there. Mm hmm. And she looked like, She did in her videos and I'm like, oh my god, that's her And nick was all annoyed. He's like you never freak out like that one with me and i'm like Are you serious? Like? I know you and um Yeah, I wanted to go up to her and be like can I get a picture with you? but I don't know I got too shy and i'm like Never mind. Did people recognize nick there? One person did. One person. It was a guy. He was like Imagine the people at a cheer competition. I know, but I don't think he, I don't think he was for the cheer competition. Cause like I said, it was like a sports complex, so, he just looked like, I don't know, something, but he just went like this to Nick, he just pointed and he's like, Hey! And then like nodded at him. See, that's kind of like the, the, like the best way to like get someone's attention. Like not be weird or anything and like say, Oh my gosh, I love you so much. Just like be normal. I guess. But like, um. Did he not like that? No, he didn't. He didn't mind. He's like, Hey bud. And I'm like, who's that? He's like, I don't know. Oh, a fan. And Zach, like, I don't know if he gets noticed as much. But his wife and his kids were roasting him and they're like a real YouTuber is at our house and everything and Zach's like I am a real YouTuber But then you know every time every everywhere we went like he saw it like people were like the fat electrician. Yeah. Oh Zach Yeah, well Nick is such a distinct and that's what I like I tell people like he wears the same Same kind of hat. Yeah, always in a tank top. Yeah, and tattoos just Yep. Yeah, it's just a classic That's what you get. Yes. Mm hmm. And he's been like that since high school. Like, yeah, he's worn tank tops forever. Mm hmm. Except for when he had his spiky hair, apparently. Yeah, he was kind of like in the button up. Didn't he have like a goth phase or something? Yeah, a punk phase. He had like a mohawk that went like this, like Spikes. Spikes. I love it. And I'm like, oh god. And then he had a phase where he wore colored contacts. Oh gosh. He'd wear like green, purple, cat eyes. Dude, why? He was just in that phase. I love those stories. I'm gonna make fun of him so hard. Oh, I love it. It's like my favorite thing. You gotta love him through it. Yep. I'm like, well that's different. Okay. So like, I felt Um, the Johnny Depp movie where he's Edward Scissorhands, and he's all just in black, sharp fingers, and he's like sitting in the car like, meh, that's Nick, and then I'm like the driver, like this little, the norm. That's funny. Normie, or whatever. Hilarious. That's how I felt. Hilarious. But, um, yep, uh, Tennessee was great, uh, and then we met up with Dave. You did? Yep. Oh, cool. Nice. He's an old, uh, mutual friend of ours. From Jiu Jitsu. Yep, used to live here. And then he moved. I met his wife. She's so sweet. Um, and then there are two girls. They were also very sweet and they homeschool. Mm hmm. I'm like, wow. So Nick, I mean Nick's always on this. We should homeschool and I'm like, I don't know. So he gets to talk to her about homeschooling. Yeah, he just hears like all the wonderful things about it. No, her girls were super sweet. They were super kind, playing with my boys, like they're patient, everything. Even though Cutter forgot one of the girls names. So like the whole time he's like, hey girl, hey girl, come look at this. And I'm just like, ask her for her name. That's so cute. And then the way back, we had turbulence, and my stomach was doing so many flips in the plane. Like, Nick was like, I'll sit with the boys, you can sit by yourself, and I'm like, sweet. But like, the whole time, I'm just like, oh my gosh, like, really flippin Yeah. That like, the steward, stewards people, um, they weren't even going through the aisles to like, hand snacks, they were just doing it by hand. Yeah. And I had this one attendant, he, I couldn't hear cuz I'm watching my movie. I can't hear anything on airplanes. No, and he's like, what do you want to eat? He's wearing a mask too. He's like, what do you want to eat? And he's like naming what he has I'm trying to listen so I can be like, oh I want that Yeah, but I couldn't hear and then he finally gets to my aisle he's like, what would you like to snack on and I'm like, uh, what do you got and he like did like this sassy, like, stance. Like, are you serious? Yeah, and like, looking at me like this. Like, I could feel him giving me attitude through the mask. And I'm like, I'll just take a cookie. And he just like Hands it to me like with such sass. And I'm like, sorry. That's awful. Yeah. So the, the flight back, I'm like, we're going to die. We're going to die. Because like the whole time the plane would just like jolt and jump. And I'm like, well, and there's been so many plane accidents. We literally, I know, I know. Although supposedly I was talking to Calvin about this and the accidents are down and it's just because those incidents are more televised. Oh. That's what I've heard. That they're down. Okay. There's fewer. Nick said, uh, it was like a hire. Like, they're just hiring some people. They're hiring people. Good for qualified. Oh, that's possible. Yeah. Um. Someone cranking out some fake pilot certifications. Yes. Speaking of like fake, um, Iowa just passed that anyone could basically cut hair in Iowa, or do any services in Iowa. I heard that, and I was going to ask you your thoughts on that. Um, see, I just cut hair, but like I, and some of them are just like, I remember going to a con ed, and they were talking about this could be a possibility. Because it happened in Waterloo, there was this barber, and he got a truck. And he was going to drive around to neighborhoods because he wanted to cut hair for veterans and a lot of them are older and they don't, maybe don't have a vehicle and he was just going to drive around and like, if you need a haircut, I'm right here. And I guess the city, or like some people were like against it, and the city was for it. And I was listening to this con ad, and I have a bunch of old bitties. And they're like, so I can get my husband's truck, and I can drive around, and cut hair in the back of his truck? Like, she made it sound like it was like super redneck y and everything. And I'm like, guys, people eat out of food trucks. Like, how is that any different? Like, they're making food in a truck. He's cutting hair in a truck. Yeah. Just cutting hair. I don't know. But, uh, it passed and he was doing that in Waterloo. So I think it's going good. But then, now with this, anybody can, like, apprentice. But no one, I mean, they're gonna say, yeah, I totally apprenticed. All right. And, um, what the barbers say, I could see the straight razor, that could be pretty dangerous if someone doesn't know how to like the sanitations and everything. And then just that maybe the bleaching and the coloring, oh my gosh, color, that would scare me. I was like, hair grows back, but people, if you have damaged hair, oh gosh. And then if you go to someone who's like, oh yeah, we'll just throw like a 40 volume bleach on it and then let it sit for like an hour, it should be fine. My hair would literally fall out. Like Brad Mondo. Brad Mondo. 40? Developer is like. You shouldn't even touch that. 10 for me lifts my hair so fast, so like 40, I would literally be back. That, I mean, it shouldn't be made at all, but. Yeah. Brad Mondo would have a heck of a time with those videos. I love watching Brad Mondo. Yes, he's great. And then, um, the eyelashes, because I think you can do it with like the eyelashes, too, and the eyebrows, and the micro braiding, and. Yeah, so like. I don't know. That's kind of insulting to people who worked so hard to go through cosmetology school and build their practice. Yes. And that's what a lot of, I guess there was like protests in Waterloo about it because I was reading an article and that's what they were claiming. Like this is an insult to us. They didn't have a protest. They had a town meeting. So, and they were like, yeah, basically it's an insult. And I'm like, well, I, Yes, people are just gonna have to like, you can't control what the people are gonna do with their money. Yeah, if they see someone's offering 19 highlights, yeah, I guess let them. Yeah, you're just gonna have to charge extra to fix it. Yeah. I don't know. I mean people should be educated enough at this point to not realize that you shouldn't do that. You would think. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I did not hear about that. Yeah, that's interesting. I mean, it just came out. Yeah, it just passed recently. Yeah, so all my fair pages are probably gonna blow up. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah. What do you do? Is it it's just statewide? Just Iowa? Just Iowa. But like Iowa, the reason why, um, Cuz I remember going to beauty school and there was girls from all over the world that would come to Iowa. Mm hmm. Because Iowa was like the only one to offer over 2, 100 hours of schooling. So you can go to Florida and you don't have to do any more, like, hands on training. You can just, like, do their Con Ed. Which, it depends on each state, but you didn't have to go back to school. Yeah. So that's why people came. And now they, they lowered it since, and then yeah, now this came out. So I'm curious to see what's going to happen in the beauty industry. Yeah. So if you see someone rolling up like, Hey, you want your lashes done for like five bucks, I wonder how much like social media influencers and stuff play into this kind of thought process around this. Exactly. That's a good point. Because Everybody claims to be a makeup artist. Like, yeah, or like so knowledgeable or whatever. I remember the skincare and stuff. Happened in my hometown. This girl, just because like she could do makeup really nice on herself doesn't Yeah, it doesn't necessarily mean that it translates that you're qualified to do someone else's. But she was offering freelance makeup. Like, go to her for your makeup needs and she'll like give you a full beat. And this bride I think it was like a gift. Like, hey, I got her to do your makeup for you on your wedding day. And she's like, okay, sweet. And then she posted what this person gave her and it just did not like compliment her at all. And she's like, I literally wiped off my entire face, did my makeup how I normally do before I walked down the aisle. I remember hearing about that. But it was a, I think she was an actual Makeup artist. No. Nope. She wasn't. Okay. Which that's interesting because in Iowa at the time you definitely were supposed to be licensed to Yes. Like, uh, receive a service. But I think she got by because she said she was freelance and like maybe trained I don't know. I think it was like if you don't technically get paid. If you, if it's like a gift, the payment is a gift, then I think you could get by. Yeah, because she didn't have her, I didn't see her prices. Yeah. When she, cause I looked at her Facebook group, or her page. Yeah. Like if you want your hair done, or your makeup done by her, and I'm like, where's the prices at? Right. None. So I think like, just kind of like, oh, I'll just do it for whatever you can give me. Sneaky. Yeah, but uh, no, that was like a huge scandal in my hometown and I was like, yes people like Just because they offer anything cheap doesn't always mean good. So yeah But sometimes sometimes it shocks you like, oh, I was actually pretty good, but you're not licensed, but You know what you're doing. Yeah. Well, I think there's a lot to be said with, um, like still knowing your stuff. It's not like you're just making things up as you go. Like there are certain, um, like cleaning guidelines that you need to follow. The sanitation is huge. Yeah. Cause nasty. Yes. And all kinds of like, yeah, all kinds of things. So I don't know. I don't know. There's a lot to be said. Ah, you just gotta put your trust in people. Yeah. Yeah. And do your research. But that goes with anything, hair, tattoo, tattoo artists, makeup artists, like Yeah, that's true. Because the tattoo industry has been like this for a long time. Mm-hmm Like, you're not certified necessarily. You apprentice, and that's how you do. I think they can buy like their guns on Amazon. Yeah. I'm sure you can buy your, you can buy guns all over the place. Mm. Yeah. I just, I just, yeah. So I mm-hmm Yeah. I know TJ, our guest, he's always said like, Oh yeah, we'll hear in the, in the air that someone's tattooing in a basement and people are going to this person. Yeah. Yeah. What do you do? Yeah. I'm like, that's insane. It's just crazy. Cause I feel like now we're seeing that switch from other industries that had been, um, I don't want to say qualified cause it's not necessarily that they're, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how to say that. Like, you know, there wasn't a tattooing certificate. Whereas like you were you went to school for the beauty, right? Now you can just do it legally. So it's just different. The shift is different. It's weird. Yeah, it's odd for sure I just can't imagine like that taking place in health care, you know, like right like oh, you're a nurse We're gonna reduce the requirements for you to become a nurse because we have such a shortage, you know I wouldn't I almost wouldn't be surprised If they try to pull something like that. What's a candy? Do they do those anymore? A candy striper? Oh, sure. No, I think that's like a CNA equivalent. Yeah, they, they're just like volunteer helpers. They're not certain. They don't touch the patients? It would be like changing a bedpan type of thing. Yeah. Not like I'm going to go dress your wound. Yeah. Okay. No IVs, but no, no, no, no. Google that. I have, cause Candy Stripers were teenagers back in the day and it was like a, cause I remember reading Sweet Valley High, my favorite book series still is Hospital Volunteers, also known as Candy Striker, um, Candy Stripers work without regular pay in a variety of healthcare settings, usually under the direct supervision of nurses. So it's a hospital volunteer young woman who assists staff in the hospital. Do they have those anymore? No. No, they have CNAs. Huh. That have training and Yeah. Yeah. Qualifications, background checks, fingerprints, whole works. Actually, I don't think you have to have your fingerprints to be a CNA. I don't think so. Yeah. I think that's just nursing. But either I mean, there's a shortage in that area, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We were talking about, uh, the behavioral Center too. Oh, they were short staff on staff. Yeah, and it just seemed like anybody always whenever it's like a Service like that that's helping people Yeah, yeah, even with um the disabled too There's always short staff there. Yeah. Well, I mean considering the amount of work that you have to put in the pay is just not good The compensation sucks. Mm hmm the hours suck And you have, there's a lot to do, so you have a lot of responsibility. I feel so bad for all those people that have to deal with that. Yeah, yeah. I'm not saying like, obviously the abuse in those kinds of situations happens, or like the neglect, but I understand why, because there's, it's, people are so overworked. Yeah. Not enough pay, not enough compensation. Instead of getting your eyelash, you know, saying, then maybe just go. Help them out. Yeah. Yeah. Don't want get a real job. Get a real job, Oh gosh. Not that it's not a real job, but like if you're not sort of, I'm sorry if I, that came out wrong. I'm gonna cut that. No, I kind know what you mean. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. If you're doing something that's like shady, clearly something that requires training that you're not getting training for, and then you're just like popping in like, Hey, I'm just gonna start doing this now. Like Yeah. Like get a real job. Yeah. Yeah. Like I actually put effort in. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I get it. Yeah. Take a load off. That was, that was okay. Kalissa was about to get called on on Instagram for the second time for that statement. Gosh. Tipping waitresses was the first one. Yeah. Got some hot takes here. Yeah. Speaking of, what's your hot take on your life? Where is your husband at? Um, so Calvin's in Japan, actually. Oh my gosh. Yeah, um, our friend Taizo, who is originally from Japan, um, he's half white and half Japanese, um, invited Calvin to go to the, um, like, world sumo championships, and they were yesterday. That's wild. Um, so he's been, he's in Japan for a few days and he'll stay a few more days and, um, They actually got to, apparently this is not common, but they got to, um, like sit down and watch one of the training sessions with one of the teams and they had lunch together and got to meet them, chat, hang out. Yeah, I saw the pictures. Yeah, it was really cool. It was very, very cool. Very traditional. How does sumo wrestling relate to jiu jitsu? I mean, they're very different. Are they? Yeah. They're not in a thong. But they're one originated from the other. They're both a fighting style. I wouldn't say that they are, like, related outside of, um, like, heritage. Okay. And that they are both a Good martial art, I guess. Yeah, because what country did Jiu I think Japan. Yeah. Okay, so. Don't quote Brazil. Maybe. They're, okay, sure, I don't know. There's different kinds of Jiu That's true, that's true. Yeah, they would do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, that's what Calvin does, but I don't know. Like, the original, everything, I have no idea, I don't know. I'm sure they told us, and we're just like, wow, wow, wow. This is not my passion, this is Calvin's passion. Yeah, okay, so, yeah. Uh, it originated in Japan as a battlefield art for samurai warriors. Yeah, so. It evolved from a combination of early sumo and other Japanese martial arts. They correlated. Which, that kind of makes sense to me because jiu jitsu is very much like a ground game. Yeah. Sort of art, so that makes sense to me that sumo would derive from sumo. I just want to know, because sumo wrestlers, they have to be of weight. Yeah, but like there are weight classes still I'm pretty sure. Okay, but like They like how much do they eat to be that size? I have no idea I don't think but then like I'm looking at like the rock like how come the rocks body? Oh Like why I don't know because they're like very strong obviously they gotta be strong like How do you maintain the chubbiness and the strength? I don't know. I, you know, this would be something to look up. Yeah, but I imagine that's also I'm just kidding. That that also is just part of, um, the, like, culture around sumo. That they're not, like, jacked. You know? That they are, like, of a certain body type. Cause, like, looking at the group photo that Kelvin posted. They're big dudes. They are big dudes. But, like Yeah, I just, I don't know. Like, I'm sure, yes, very strong. I don't see the biceps and abs. No, they're round. So, a couple questions. Did he already have a passport or is this his first time? We already had passports because we got, we went to Mexico. From his, an old workplace situation. So, he already has a passport. Does he have cell service? He, they, um, actually, so. He would not have survived without tyso. Yeah. Tyso like knew all the stuff that needed to happen and like he knows the train systems and so Ty um, rented a hotspot. Oh, okay. So they can like, have cell service while they're over there, which is not necessarily cell service, but they have internet. Yes. So like he can iMessage me. Yep. Um, so yeah. If we didn't have Tyzo, we wouldn't know any of that stuff. Which, like, Like, no contact for two weeks. Which, Calvin is like, not very good at planning for these things anyways. So, like, the day that he was leaving, He bought a new pair of shoes, so he could like walk around. And I was like, why didn't you buy those like a week ago and break those in? Your feet are gonna hurt. But he's just like that. He's just like, oh, the day of, let me just go do this. Yeah. So, whatever. Does he fly over the ocean to go to Japan this flight? They fly west. Okay. Yeah. That answered my question. Over California. Yeah. Yeah. But there's some cool, they, they, they've done some cool stuff. They're gonna do more cool stuff. They went to like a Japanese castle and Calvin said yesterday, I think he's probably going to be sleeping now, but yesterday they made a knife. Apparently they did like weapon making. Um, so how was he going to take that home? Um, Tysol is going to bring it. Cause Tysol had a checked bag. Calvin went overseas for like nine days and he took a carry on. You know, that, that does not, a man just packs light. What do you need? Just like a pair of pants? Yeah, he's like, let me pack nine pairs of underwear, nine pairs of socks, and then like a pair of pants, a sweatshirt, and five t shirts. Yep. And we're good. What's the climate over there right now? Um, it's actually fifties. It was about fifties. Yeah. So it was pretty nice. Yeah. Okay. Is he gonna wear, uh, he probably won't be. Um, kimono? Yeah. I don't think so. Yeah. I don't think so. Is he gonna wear a diaper? No, imagine him though. I don't know what they're actually called. I don't know what they're called, but imagine him. I'm just like picturing his body and like one of those little things. And I bet you are looking at his butt cheeks because we know you look at butts. Yeah, that's true. I do. I was just listening to that episode the other day. I can't believe I lost it. Like, you know what's funny. I remember filming that. I remember, like, thinking those things. Yeah. And I was like, oh, are you sure we didn't have this one released before? Yeah. That's so funny. Lost in the files. Yeah. Lost in the files. Yep. But I wonder why they wear that, that thong diaper. I, it must have to do with range of motion. Like, so he sent me a video. Did you watch the video of that one match that he saw? Okay. So they like squat. Yes. Like these big, big guys, they have such good balance and they are down there just deep squatting and it has to do, it must have to do with range of motion. And, um, yeah. And something to do with maybe like their handholds. Cause I think you can grab like the sides of their little. Um, and maybe, yeah, you know, that'd be kind of mean to pay somebody, you, so you want to push them so you would hold them and then push, you know, like you're not like pulling them down. Is it like wrestling? They just get them on their back. Kind of. It's like a circle. So the circle, you have to push them outside of the circle. Okay. So at least that's, that's what I've gotten. Man, I can do it. I don't know much about. Yes. I want to have a showdown. She'd probably take me cause she's so much taller. I would feel really bad about it though. Well, I was watching and they're like on a stage, this like the circle thing is like on a stage and this guy just like pushed him right off the edge and he like went feet overhead and I'm like, Oh no, man, that guy. And then he just like got back up and they just were like, you know, doing back to their thing. like, Oh my God. So, wow. Okay. I wonder if there's a documentary about sumo wrestling. Oh, I'm sure. Because I'm curious. They were all floor sitting though, too. Imagine floor sitting all day. Like, just on a little, um, like, like a little flat pillow. You just floor sit. I wonder if it's like they sit like a crisscross like this? Yeah, I think so. Because I couldn't sit on my legs because I get a cramp. My legs fall asleep. Yeah. Yes. Taizo's old grandma. Was sitting on the floor for hours. Oh, but they're so used to it. Like, I remember watching like, India documentaries. And like, they squat. I mean, yeah. The toilets here in America, we are way too privileged to be sitting. I mean, we shouldn't sit like that on a toilet. Because these people they're like down. Yeah. Yes, and they squat like this all day squat toilets. Yeah I'm not only like the toilets but just like in general like when they're gardening. Yep. They just yeah So there's they're like 90 years old. It's like the ankle range of motion It's in Asian countries. Like they have really strong ankles because all they do is squat all the time Yes, so now like Calvin is really good at he is good at that. He's he's a squatter. So But I can't squat When I stretch at the gym, I try to squat and like, try to get all my hips in motion, my knees. Work on your ankles. It's a lot in the ankles. Yes. Nick has some resistance bands from his physical therapy. I'll just use those for my ankles. I went into a, his physical therapy appointment. It was so ridiculous. Like, it was just like this girl who was really young. And she's like telling Nick like, okay, can you do this? And it's at like the highest, or the lowest, or the The most weight and he's just like You know doing it like a lat pulldown. He's like, is that hard at all? He's like, no And I'm like, this is so embarrassing like just give him the clearance like he's clear. Yeah, he can do it Cuz he's been out of jiu jitsu this whole time. Yeah Yeah, but now that I think like I think she sees that he's in the clear. So maybe he'll start going back. Yeah Well, fun. Yeah. Lots of adventures. Yeah. Lots of travels. Any coming up? I'm traveled out. I'm good for a while. Yeah, pretty much. A lot of weddings coming up, which I'm not, not super excited for. I don't love weddings. I mean, I'll, I'll, I'm excited for my nephew who's getting married and like, it'll be good to see family and stuff, but in general, I'm not. On your side or Calvin's? On Calvin's side. You have to travel a ways? Um, his wedding is in Des Moines, but we're going to our friend's wedding that's in Kansas City. Okay. And, um, a friend of ours here actually is getting married too, so. Nice. I just don't love that. I don't have any weddings this year. I'm so bummed. I feel like we're getting, we're getting to the point now where it's like really slowing down. Yeah. Like most of the people we know are married. Yeah. So. Yeah. All my weddings, they, uh, I'm not invited to. Yeah, you are. You're invited, you're just not going. No, um, family, that's kidding. And they just, um, only hand out a certain amount of invites. But I think they know, like, oh, she never goes, so. I'm not even gonna bother. Yeah. And that's fine, because I'd be like, you know, love ya, but no, I'm not going. And it's like it all, like. The tip of Minneapolis, or like Minnesota. Yeah. I'm like, I just can't. It's a long drive. It is a long drive. I would have appreciated the invite still, even if I didn't go. But, that's fine. That is what it is. Yeah. We gotta think of something to do in August. Cause we usually do something in February and something in August. Cause those are Craig's slow months for work. So, we're thinking about what we want to do there. Did you, is that when you went to the Dells last year? That is when we went to Crosby. Minnesota. Got it. Got it. Got it. This is where we usually go in August, but I don't know if we'll go this year or if we'll take the kids or whatever. You should go to, actually, let me just send, let me go back and find this TikTok that I just sent Calvin because there was, um, this whole thing about national parks that within five hours. Yes. Did I send you that? No, but I saw it. Yeah, you did. And I saw it. Okay. Okay. Yeah. You should look at that and see what's around. Cause like Dubuque's up there and that wasn't too far. And there's like some stuff, I don't know, from Galena area. Galena would be cool. Oh, okay. But yeah, Nebraska's not that far. Wisconsin's not that far. That'd be cool. Something fun. Yeah, the effigy mounds were on there. We've done that before. Mm hmm. Pike's Peak. So, yeah, we'll see. Yeah, if you have any recommendations, let us know. Where should Calissa go next? Yes, I always wanted Marricate Nationally when they had like the world map and they're like, let's see where we're going and they just Just throw the dart. And I'm like, ugh, they had such an unrealistic life, and I'm like, I want it. Those are good movies though, too. Holiday in the Sun. I remember that one, I forget what it's called, but the one where they're in Paris, and they give the French chef a hamburger, you know, and he's like counting in French or whatever. That's how I learned to count to three in French. So, cool. Yeah. Love it. Alright, on that note, this has been Calissa, Hannah, and Sarah. Bye!
