Resolutions
Have you ever mistaken "No Spend January" for "No Spin January" and wondered how that might reshape your financial outlook? Well, we did, and we're sharing our hilariously relatable journey through budgeting blunders and the tools that sometimes annoy us—like Excel and Rocket Money. In our latest episode, we toss around ideas about flexible goal-setting instead of those daunting New Year's resolutions. It's all about keeping the humor alive while navigating the quirkiest of traditions, from misheard financial disciplines to the challenge of partnering up for budgeting meetings.
We also take a whimsical detour into the world of musicals, inspired by a recent movie experience that featured surprise musical numbers and our thoughts on Ariana Grande's performance. The conversation doesn’t stop there—our excitement for Timothée Chalamet's role in an upcoming Bob Dylan biopic bubbles over, along with our opinions on musical biopics like "Ray" and "Walk the Line." As we meander through our own hobbies, we swap stories about learning embroidery from an Australian guide, and discuss future plans for date nights that promise new adventures and maybe even more musical surprises.
From navigating chopstick challenges to sidestepping the guilt of personal time, we touch on the lighter side of cultural expectations in dining and the joys of self-care. Our resolutions explore the quirks of social media detoxes, the irony of screen-time management, and humorous takes on beloved cooking traditions like New Year's collard greens. Join us in finding joy in setting resolutions that aren’t etched in stone and laughing along the way as we ponder whether quitting resolutions altogether might be the best resolution of all.
Welcome to hey Real Quick. It's a new year.
Speaker 2:Happy 2025.
Speaker 1:I'm going to forget to write that on checks. Good news is I don't write checks, sorry.
Speaker 2:What are you writing when you sign and date that HIPAA form?
Speaker 1:Yeah, when I fill out a form, it's going to say 2023.
Speaker 2:Can we get you to sign and date a new HIPAA for our files? Sure, why not?
Speaker 1:Speaking of new Year's.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm Zuh.
Speaker 1:Are we, are you, do you do resolutions?
Speaker 2:I know it's the R word, don't say it. I used to try this year. I am not trying Yoda.
Speaker 1:Is that a resolution to not try?
Speaker 2:I'm just, I got some ideas maybe, but they're more like in pencil. I'm not, you know midlife. I feel like we don't know what this year is going to throw at us, right?
Speaker 1:Right so.
Speaker 2:I'm just going into it. You know, some people do dry January, or they change up their diet no sugar January. No spin January.
Speaker 1:What does that mean? Don't do a spin class, no spin.
Speaker 2:Anti-exercise. It means don't spend extra Like S-P-E-N-D. Sorry.
Speaker 1:Oh spin, I don't enunciate I thought you said spin.
Speaker 2:I did. But I should have said spend, Wait a minute, you don't enunciate.
Speaker 1:I thought you said spin I did but I should have said spend, wait a minute, you don't buy anything.
Speaker 2:Well, no, you got to eat. But I'm saying like extra stuff. Like if I'm at Target and I'm buying toilet paper, I'm not going to buy that cardigan sweater.
Speaker 1:And they just do this in January.
Speaker 2:You can do it whenever you want to, that seems you just had Christmas.
Speaker 1:What do you?
Speaker 2:need. I know Well some people have. I mean, I don't, I'm not a huge shopper, but also they're trying to lock it down after Christmas spending, or you know budget. I'm big about doing that. It's not a resolution but, like I just redid my budget in Excel.
Speaker 1:Oh, I get.
Speaker 2:I am nerdy.
Speaker 1:I ask this all the time I think it was yesterday. I'll go to Robin and be like, hey, you think we can sit down at some point this weekend and kind of figure out. And she's always like yeah.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh.
Speaker 1:And then the next thing you know, it's Sunday night and Netflix is on. It's like, well, we'll do it next week, next week, next week.
Speaker 2:That's the hardest date to schedule, right there, or meeting, or whatever you'd like to call it, because Randall and I same thing.
Speaker 1:Budget.
Speaker 2:Like hey, we need to meet.
Speaker 2:We just need a rate which, basically, is me going, hey, this is how much everything costs us. And he's like, okay, you know. Or he'll say, hey, this thing is coming up, or we probably need to do this to the house. When do you think you know whatever? But yeah, and like, I have it in Excel, but I don't know what that means except for, okay, I have it all written down, this is how much it costs. And I'll kind of go back through and be like, whoa, here's where we overspent or here's where we, you know, save some extra this month, or whatever it is. I don't know why. I'm talking about my budget talking about my budget.
Speaker 1:But we do that too and it's in like a spreadsheet and all that I'm like yep, there it is.
Speaker 2:We're broke, see it. And I have Rocket Money which, if Rocket Money wants to sponsor that, that this it'd be great.
Speaker 1:I love Rocket Money. I love.
Speaker 2:Rocket Money too, and it's a little bit like your annoying neighbor sometimes that'll tap you on the shoulder, you know like right and be like.
Speaker 1:You know, I got a yard guy that's $15 cheaper.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I don't know him. You know what I mean. Or it'll be like hey, I just got this today, by the way, because we're self-employed, so our health insurance is a bit more than other people's and it goes up every year, but this year went up more than it's ever gone up Whatever, yada yada Health care. And it was like, hmm, this subscription or recurring expense just increased, Yada yada yada. And I'm like, yeah, I know I can't do anything about it, rocket, so just easy.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean, Because some things you just yeah. But it's nice because it's an app and it pops up and I like it. It tells you hey, this bill is coming up. I don't know why I'm in the weeds on my own personal budget.
Speaker 1:Sorry, Did not intend to go down this road I have a heart attack every time Rocket Money goes. There's a big purchase coming up and it's a car payment, but we just haven't, I haven't. I've been so lazy I can't categorize it yet. I'm like I'll do that tomorrow and every time it's like yeah, no, it comes up every month, right, chill out Rocket.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's our mortgage, we know yeah.
Speaker 1:But anyway, yeah, I like it until it charges me and it's like you have a bill coming up. I'm like it's your bill, I know Quit charging, I bill, I know quit chart you.
Speaker 2:I thought y'all was trying to save me money, yeah, but you got to pay them for them to tell you, hey, you could save money but it's good, I know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2:It gives me peace of mind, even though it don't give me money no, well, it's kind of a backup, because if you do put everything in there, man, this is a commercial rocket money, rocket money, hey, hey yeah, amy, and marty real quick, but like it's just like a backup of like okay, oh yeah, what else is coming up?
Speaker 1:or something you know, I don't know. Anyway, other than budget, you don't have any like health or workout. You got nothing um. You got no resolutions.
Speaker 2:I need to walk more. I'm not going to say I'm starting an exercise class, I'm not a member of a gym. I don't intend to be a member of a gym. I'm 51. I'm due for a colonoscopy. I need to put that on the yearly calendar. That's my health goal Is to get a colonoscopy. I need to put that on the yearly calendar. That's my health goal.
Speaker 1:Is to get a colonoscopy.
Speaker 2:And I'm not like over here trying to be like and then next week I'm going to eat seven corn dogs. I mean, I'm not like throwing, like just be like woohoo, let's see how unhealthy I can get. I think I'm just gun shy of well. I say I'm going to do this. And then you know, two weeks later, gun shy of well, I say I'm going to do this and then you know, two weeks later, I'm the opposite. I set like crazy goals. Okay.
Speaker 1:I just want to see how many resolutions I can destroy and not follow through with in like three weeks.
Speaker 2:All right, let's go.
Speaker 1:I'll be like all right, so one is all right. Well, I get into numbers. So I'm like I'm going to work out four, three, two okay, three days a week, and then I'm like you've already failed if you're negotiating with the goal.
Speaker 2:Right Him and Han, and it's just a bullet point at this point.
Speaker 1:So I say I'm going to work out three days a week. That doesn't include walks.
Speaker 2:Okay, because I'm not that old yet. Yeah, okay, yeah, because you've got two dogs, because I'm not that old yet. Yeah, right, you know, I go for a walk.
Speaker 1:I'm like, does that count?
Speaker 2:I guess it does. Oh, it counts for me yeah it does.
Speaker 1:But anyway I say I'm going to work out three days a week besides walks. Mm-hmm we so I can't really fail. Oh yeah, keep them real loose and vague, so I'll be like I'm just going to be healthier, I'm going to eat healthier.
Speaker 2:See, I love that I can still eat some Doritos, but sometimes I'm like I'm going to get to salad, right, yeah.
Speaker 1:And I did it. We set one. We said more date nights. That's nice. We're saying we should just say like one a quarter, because right now we do about one or two a year, but we're saying one a month. Yeah. So last night we went to the movies.
Speaker 2:Oh, what'd you see?
Speaker 1:We saw Wicked.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Which I wanted to see it too.
Speaker 2:I haven't seen the musical. Have you seen the musical?
Speaker 1:I saw the musical when we lived in Atlanta at the Fox Theater and when I saw the musical I was like that should be a movie that's better than the Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:And it's what I thought it would be.
Speaker 2:That was good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I will say this.
Speaker 2:Just a little.
Speaker 1:I don't know if this is not a spoiler. At the beginning it says part one. I'm like, hold on now. I ain't even, we ain't even dove in, yeah, like we ain't even started the two hour and 48 minute movie. And this is half of it. So it's just part one. So it's going to be more wicked-er later, but it was good. But musicals are weird to me because it's gonna be another. It's gonna be another more wicked her later, but it was good.
Speaker 2:Okay, but musical words are weird to me because it's I mean, it's good, I liked it, it was well done, ariana grande, yes, miss starbucks. She was great in it why are you calling my star grande?
Speaker 1:I don't know, oh that's hilarious, but she was was great yeah she's amazing yeah. Yeah, but it's kind of like just real life. And then all of a sudden it'll just like burst into like an Ozempic commercial, like everybody's dancing in the streets.
Speaker 2:I still have a little trouble with that myself. I love some musicals I do Like.
Speaker 1:Sound of.
Speaker 2:Music. Love it, it's great.
Speaker 1:It's fantastic. I don't like that one.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I used to be like what is that? And then we had it on VHS. When our kids were little. They would watch it in the van and yeah, amusing yeah, but anyway they loved it, but anyway, so it was good, you're glad you saw it.
Speaker 1:I'm glad I saw it. I wanted to see. So now we're doing, I said, all right, next date night I get to pick.
Speaker 2:Nice, so the next one I want to see.
Speaker 1:Oh man, I'm going blank.
Speaker 2:The Bob Dylan movie. Yeah yeah, timothee Chalamet and is it? Untold, I don't know. He plays Bob Dylan, that one. Yeah, yeah, that's what I want. It looks great. Yeah, that's what I want to see next time.
Speaker 1:I like any biopic of like a musical or not a musical of music figure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, like Ray and walk the line.
Speaker 1:Yeah, All that stuff. I like seeing people actors like just totally deep dive.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they got Elvis, remember, I mean.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:He had to relearn how to talk, cause he was talking a lot.
Speaker 1:He's still messed up. Yeah, he still talks like Elvis. Yeah, he does.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 1:But yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean it's cool if you sound like Elvis. Can you imagine like y'all need to make an appointment for the?
Speaker 1:Just stop it. Austin, I need to do a mole check.
Speaker 2:I don't know. Can you work me in next week?
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh man.
Speaker 2:But I do want to see that movie. Ok, so Morn Date Nights, I do like that. I will say this is not a goal, but a complete unknown.
Speaker 1:Sorry, that's the name of the movie.
Speaker 2:That's the name of it. Ok, yeah, I do want to see that, but Randall got me for Christmas a couple of and that sounds like I'm old, but embroidery kits.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's old.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I saw them on social media and they're called Clever Poppy and everything's included in the little thing. It's like a sampler kit and you watch the videos and it's this lady from Australia and she's precious and she'll say, okay, we're going to stitch together and it is she is fabulous and I've already finished one. What do you embroider? Okay, first of all that word.
Speaker 1:Is that a word? I thought I made it up. No, no.
Speaker 2:Embroidery. I feel like it's really hard to say in the English accent, but if you're British it's easier. It's like strawberry, like embroidery is very much easier to say than embroidery, embroidery.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that is.
Speaker 2:It sounds like I got an oral check and go do some embroidery or something I don't know. It's crazy.
Speaker 1:I take embroidery classes in Murfreesboro.
Speaker 2:Murfreesboro Anyway, but that, like last Saturday, I spent like four hours doing it.
Speaker 1:What do you do? And it was super relaxing. What do you do?
Speaker 2:You're learning different stitches.
Speaker 1:But what do you do it on? Is it just like a piece of fabric?
Speaker 2:Fabric with a little embroidery hoop.
Speaker 1:Oh, I remember mom did those, so there's counter cross stitch there's. Are you making something to put in a frame, possibly, or like a t-shirt?
Speaker 2:No, it's just a little thing. You can hang it on your wall, you can put it in the trash.
Speaker 1:Tapestry.
Speaker 2:But this is like little flower pots. This one is literally like the stitches, so like there's a chain stitch, there's a back stitch.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:There's, you know, like French knots.
Speaker 1:And you're learning the different stitches. It's like a chord on a guitar, like some are more difficult.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it's kind of fun.
Speaker 1:So when you look at a Embroidery piece, yeah that. When you look at that, do you know like, ooh, look at that backstitching, can you tell?
Speaker 2:No, because I just started.
Speaker 1:Oh, but can other?
Speaker 2:people If they know embroidery stitches.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:Okay, but she is fabulous and she helps you every step of the way and Randall's like who are you listening to? And I'm like it's the lady from the embroidery stuff and he was like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:So wait a minute, she's from where. Australia, australia, Because New Zealand and Australia, they sound the same right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but when she says no she says it with an R, but I think in New Zealand I could have this wrong. Sorry.
Speaker 1:They're a little more American.
Speaker 2:They don't do the R on the end of the O, like if you check and see how your stitches are going and you go no, that's Australia. I think, I don't know if that's the only differentiation.
Speaker 1:Anyway.
Speaker 2:Anyway. So more me time. You know what I mean, because unless I'm doing something in the house, sometimes I'm like I'm going to go do so-and-so and I feel guilty and why I'm a grown woman, and so and like I'll feel guilty and why I'm a grown woman If I want to go to the library and walk around for two hours or go to the bookstore. I'm all about going to the bookstore, have a cup of coffee. That's like. That's like a field trip for me. Man, I love that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, anything that you care about is self-care.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You want to read?
Speaker 2:Right Get a facial, go on a walk Like I love going on a walk in my neighborhood and sometimes I'm like I'll be gone for about an hour and 15 minutes.
Speaker 1:I know I'm old because I told that we try to take a walk Not every day. Well, a lot of times we do, but you know you're old when you're like, that's my favorite thing to do.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I got to go on a walk.
Speaker 2:I love it, I know. Get you out of the house, get you out of your head. It's good for you.
Speaker 1:So speaking of resolutions. I haven't done it yet.
Speaker 2:Classic.
Speaker 1:Well, it's like the working out thing. Oh yeah Well, first of all, between Christmas and back, forget New Year's. Between Christmas and back to school. That's just like I ain't going to start nothing now. No, I got to wait till my kids are back.
Speaker 2:Then, yeah, yeah, that's sweatpants week. Yeah, nothing should be happening Because working out three days a week.
Speaker 1:you don't start that before your kids go back to school?
Speaker 2:No, or you got a regular routine again.
Speaker 1:First of all, yeah, yeah, but it's um the social media, because, like you get a lot of ideas on social media, like that's good. You know what I should order that that'll make me healthy.
Speaker 2:What's up?
Speaker 1:ag1 greens, but then uh, seed probiotic yeah, but it's also comical because you'll see the stuff like this year spend less time on your screen. Well, I found you scrolling.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know right.
Speaker 1:I'm watching that video on how to you know detox from screen time.
Speaker 2:Right. I found it on Instagram so yeah, I guess you know easy hypocrite. Yeah, I guess you know Easy hypocrite, but so I want to take.
Speaker 1:I want to take Facebook and Instagram off my phone and just have it on my iPad.
Speaker 2:That's what I have.
Speaker 1:That's a first world problem right there, Like I only look at it on my bigger screen.
Speaker 2:Well, I'll tell you this I guess I do have it on my iPad, but I have that upstairs for my embroidery. But I took it off my phone about a month ago. Both those things. So I can, if I get my laptop out, which is very rare, but I haven't been on it and because I'm the worst, I'm like puppy videos, baby videos, people scrubbing rugs and cleaning up overgrown yards. I mean, that's my jam, all them things.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:And I'm like ooh, I mean my coffee, get cold while I'm doing it.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, because I love it. I will glance down and be like oh, it's 1 o'clock, my kids ain't awake. I got to go wake them up.
Speaker 2:But it's a little bit like I took it off and then, if you get used to not doing it, it's probably like going off coffee or anything else.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm not doing this. I've almost finished a book.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I've almost embroidered a whole thing, a sampler or whatever you call it, but like yeah, oh. You're way more productive. You'd be doing more. You're probably going more walks, I don't know Anywho.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think, yeah, I should take it off my phone.
Speaker 2:I know I wish it didn't exist.
Speaker 1:I do too. I wish I wasn't addicted to it.
Speaker 2:I know, I think everybody is.
Speaker 1:That should be the resolution.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Is just to turn. Take one bad habit and turn it into a good habit. That's it. Just flip it, just one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just one for the year. Or you can do one a month, like your movies and be ambitious.
Speaker 1:Well, I also said I was like well, if we got something already planned, like a concert we already bought tickets to in October, Go into that. Tyler Childers. Oh nice, I was like. So if we have something already planned, that counts right.
Speaker 2:Because I was already thinking like wait a minute, how many.
Speaker 1:I got. Is it me? Do I have to make reservations?
Speaker 2:Oh, oh yeah, but yeah no, I guess not.
Speaker 1:I guess that's the one, but that's not hard to stick to.
Speaker 2:No, because that's a fun thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's not hard to stick to. No, because that's a fun thing, yeah that's fun.
Speaker 2:It's not crunches, you know, or burpees or whatever that is. I ain't never known one of them, but crunches, yeah doing that I was.
Speaker 1:I was doing sit-ups fall down, get back up.
Speaker 2:Six months ago yeah, I was doing like ab exercises and stuff. I don't know what happened, fell off that resolution.
Speaker 1:But yeah, and then eating healthier, yeah, see I just need to cook more that's what I mean which kind of just goes with eating healthy.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm. You know, Yep, I'll say this. This is not really a resolution, but my neighbor texted me on the first whatever New Year's Day and said hey, would you be interested in cooking any collard greens, do you guys like those? We got groceries delivered and my husband, he's going to cook collard greens. You know, black eyed peas, the whole whole bed on New Year's Day.
Speaker 1:We don't do that.
Speaker 2:They gave us two extra bunches or whatever, and I was like I've never cooked them, I've never eaten them. Were they good? Yeah, sure, I got a recipe off Pinterest. I didn't have any meat I'm going to get some comments about this probably but I didn't have any bacon or turkey, so I did them without any meat, but I did.
Speaker 1:And that's the whole point Eat them as a straight up grain. They're huge leaves.
Speaker 2:They're huge. Have you seen them?
Speaker 1:I think I've seen them. They're so big I don't know. It smells like a perm when you cook them. Well, mine smell pretty good.
Speaker 2:And here's why you put a bunch of stuff in them. But the hardest part was washing them, and then you cut them up into little pieces, right, so I had a huge bowl's worth, you know, because they were just washed like big leaves. Then you cook them down.
Speaker 1:So you put them and boil. You took that like a dish right.
Speaker 2:Well, you boil them for two to three minutes, then you put them in an ice bath, because you're shocking them or blanching them, so they won't taste as bitter.
Speaker 1:So they're doing cold therapy. They have resolutions.
Speaker 2:They have a cold? Yeah, they get in an ice bath.
Speaker 1:Did you get it at Kaisa Ice bath sauna? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:We taste better if you do it this way. So anyway, I did that. That's the hardest part of the whole thing. But I put onion garlic and I put tomatoes in mine like canned, chopped, chopped up, crushed tomatoes you gotta put some rotel in there and I put well, I can't eat cheese, you don't want them in cheese.
Speaker 1:No, not rota. What did I say, rotel?
Speaker 2:yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah the tomato yeah, yeah exactly. I didn't have peppers and then I put paprika a lot of it and I don't know what paprika tastes like by itself. It's just ground. Is it red pepper? I think?
Speaker 1:I did not know that I was today's years old.
Speaker 2:I think that's what it is, and then salt and pepper, of course, and then a little bit of soy sauce.
Speaker 1:I like soy sauce.
Speaker 2:So you let all that kind of cook down for like 30 minutes and you stir it every now and then. I mean, you saute your onions and your garlic first, sauté your onions and your garlic first, and then at the end I put just a dash of apple cider vinegar in it, and then we ate it with black-eyed peas and cornbread and I put hot sauce on it and it was great.
Speaker 1:But you have to do a lot to them. That sounds like an oyster.
Speaker 2:Kind of like hey, we have these huge leaves growing, we can make them good. And I called Mom because I was like don't mom love collard greens? She goes no, I like turnip greens. What's the difference between turnip?
Speaker 1:One's got a root and one don't, or something.
Speaker 2:I guess collard greens doesn't have something at the bottom.
Speaker 1:I ain't going to turn up if you eat them.
Speaker 2:But she likes the turnip greens. She was like I don't really like collards but I loved them and they're supposed to be super healthy, like one of the most healthy things you can eat and all this stuff, but it's a lot of work on the front end.
Speaker 1:I thought that was kale. Ain't kale?
Speaker 2:just like turnips kind of Kale's, more like a salad.
Speaker 1:I guess, Like it just grows. You know you don't cook it, right you?
Speaker 2:can People put little bits in soup or whatever, but it's a little rough for me, but they were good. I wouldn't eat them all the time, but they were good. But I'm trying to say, yes, I ate healthy and I tried something new, because I'm not great at trying new things.
Speaker 1:I'm not either. I like to know what I'm doing. You want to see me squirm? Take me to a Japanese restaurant.
Speaker 2:Well, like also I didn't have, I wasn't cooking it for anybody coming over, I had nothing on the agenda. I was like I'm just going to try these out. I got on Pinterest pulled up this recipe and I like cooking. If I'm just, I have no like stress. Yeah, I didn't mind it and I was like, and Randall came in and was like that actually smells really good and I was like, well, who knew?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I didn't buy them. You know what I mean. It was just like no presh.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Whatever, but yeah, japanese restaurant.
Speaker 1:I will say that we went out to celebrate our neighbor's birthday and we went to a. Japanese Shogun. I went to Blue.
Speaker 2:Sushi. Oh, I've heard of that place, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, it was good. What'd you get? What did I get?
Speaker 2:Do you have chicken fingers?
Speaker 1:No, I didn't get.
Speaker 2:I'll get the child plate.
Speaker 1:Well, I don't eat fish because of Jim Gaffigan.
Speaker 2:I didn't like it anyway.
Speaker 1:But it's just. It tastes like fish, it's fishy. I don't like that flavor. Yeah, it's gross and I can't eat red meat. So, I have to get chicken. Yeah, they had a chicken crunch salad I don't know what that is. And then they had lettuce rolls or lettuce wraps or whatever you feel like a gorilla eating those things because they're just falling apart. You're just shoving leaves in your mouth Everybody else is eating chopsticks and cute fish and I'm over here, over here, like stuff's falling.
Speaker 2:Like you, just walk by the produce section and grab some.
Speaker 1:Well, there's three couples. So, there's six of us there and they're all getting sushi and like oh.
Speaker 2:I want to try this and Robin Loves Dragon roll.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I used to eat the tuna one, the nigiri or whatever, just tuna. Now, I used to like that.
Speaker 2:I don't do the fish, but I do the veggie ones or whatever. It was just fish.
Speaker 1:I cannot eat seaweed. First of all, it's like chewing a Bridgestone tire. You cannot. I did it one time.
Speaker 2:It don't break down.
Speaker 1:I tried for like five minutes I was like I need a napkin because I'm spitting this out. I don't know what y'all's teeth are made of it is impressive, isn't it? Yeah, y'all are like sharks. How are you biting through it? I was like it's like eating electrical tape.
Speaker 2:Yeah, why don't they wrap it in some milk, that's what it looks like too.
Speaker 1:It probably tastes like, but anyway I don't do any rolls. And and then you feel like an idiot because they're all eating my chopsticks and they're all trying this stuff. This is amazing. This is amazing and I'm like, I just feel like the biggest redneck.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because I was like first of all, I tried chopsticks.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I did it for about two seconds. Robinson's like, no, you just hold it like this so I try and I'm like what am I doing?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm not in Japan, yeah. So I'm like I need some silverware, bring me fork. So they bring me a fork and then I'm just like stabbing stuff and I'm like we're in America, get a fork.
Speaker 2:But there's a little bit of pressure.
Speaker 1:Oh, there's a ton of pressure to eat with chopsticks. You feel like it's a secret fraternity.
Speaker 2:And you walk in there and you're like suddenly you're like I didn't even know my friends use chopsticks.
Speaker 1:Bring the ogre a fork.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I feel the same way. We went with some friends to a Thai place. Was it a Thai place, I don't know? The other last week we never do that and everybody at the table could use the chopsticks but me, and I was like uh-uh, yeah, everybody at the table could use the chopsticks but me, and I was like uh-uh, yeah, and I'm like how many people have been using chopsticks that everybody's suddenly comfortable with the whole meal with it? What country are we?
Speaker 1:Like we're in America, Eat, get a fork. That's what we use, and I told Robin this. I was like I told Robin this I was like first of all, it's a Japanese restaurant. We're not in Japan, like if I was in Japan and it was. You know it's part of their culture and like you know I wouldn't go. I wouldn't fly to Japan go to a nice restaurant and then be like bring me a fork.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'd be the dumb. I'd be the dumb American. Yeah, it's going to take me long to eat, but y'all are we in Nashville.
Speaker 1:I know I should not feel ashamed of being like, hey, these two little sticks don't work good, and it's like if somebody said, hey, we got to dig this hole.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And we only got five minutes. Yeah, do you want to use the backhoe.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Or would you like to use this?
Speaker 2:I don't know Limb we found you want to use these two sticks you can kind of hold dirt. Yeah, what I know. Well, or I feel like the fork should already be placed. Yeah, because it calls you out.
Speaker 1:You know what.
Speaker 2:I'm saying, like, if you go to Peter's Sushi in Thai, which I love, by the way, I was going to ask, did they have other offerings on the menu that were like curry and rice or something like that? Like, could you do that?
Speaker 1:I don't know if they did, but like it'd be, like if there was a special way to like fold a piece of paper.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:To put your drink in. Yeah, and you just had to hold it weird and drink it and like you know what I'm going to rock a cup or a glass.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, I hear you man.
Speaker 1:I don't enjoy that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can't use them. My husband can.
Speaker 1:Y'all trying to make me feel stupid.
Speaker 2:Can Robin use them? Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Everybody at the table is like.
Speaker 2:I don't know, throwing stuff in the air, doing tricks and stuff. Suddenly everybody's a magician Whipping their hair in a bun.
Speaker 1:chopsticks, I'm like.
Speaker 2:Grouch and tiger, let's do it Well.
Speaker 1:I'm the opposite.
Speaker 2:I'm like you. You know what? Just skip the middle. Bring me a spork. Let's just skip. Yeah right, bring me a spoon. Do you have a child's placemat with crayons? Yeah, you feel like an eight-year-old I know, I know, because you have to go. This is so painful that I'm going to raise my hand. Yeah, I didn't. I thought I did the reading, but I did the wrong reading. I.
Speaker 1:I did the wrong reading, I don't know. Just yeah, oh, I feel like a 10-year-old because I'm like they're like, yeah, I get that. And then I guess I had a. Maybe I had like a non-alcoholic beer.
Speaker 2:I think they did.
Speaker 1:Because otherwise you're just like. Can I have a fork and a Coca-Cola?
Speaker 2:Yeah right, Do you have a top I can put on my cup with a straw? Is it plastic? Can I take it home? Uh?
Speaker 1:so sorry, how we get on that new foods, trying things new yeah, I'll go ahead and take one resolution okay uh is not using chopsticks yeah, I ain't ever learned how to use those things, unless I'm taking a long trip yeah, right.
Speaker 2:And then, like I'm gonna take some lessons, some lessons, but I've tried it's easier to embroidery, it's hard to do Embroider-er-er-er for me than it is to use I don't understand doing something that's been improved upon.
Speaker 1:I know you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:When's the last time you went outside and you saw somebody cutting their grass with a manual lawnmower?
Speaker 2:Like that, click, click, click, click, click, click cutting their grass with a manual lawnmower, like they're Like doing one of those, just an open blade. Yeah, I know, do you want to?
Speaker 1:use this. It's a giant yard. You want to rock that with a sickle? That's what chopsticks are.
Speaker 2:Somebody outside? Sling blade man. What's up? Sling blade in the ceiling.
Speaker 1:I'm like we have zero-turn mowers.
Speaker 2:Hashtag forks it reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld. You remember that.
Speaker 1:Of the show.
Speaker 2:Talking about rice and chopsticks. Yeah, in his act years and years ago I think it was like it's like using two pool cues. Yeah, They've seen the fork, you know they've seen it.
Speaker 1:It better be sticky rice, because you can't pick it up.
Speaker 2:But like Sorry, I just went off on that. Yeah, yeah, I just felt dumb, yeah not dumb.
Speaker 1:I guess that's what made me the most perturbed at the time. It didn't bother me, I guess. When I got home I was like was I stupid? Did I look stupid? I guess not, I don't care um, but yeah, and then I felt like an idiot because I got the fork right, yeah. But then I also ordered lettuce wraps.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just need the fork to put stuff on the lettuce to eat with my hands. And then I got home and I was like I asked Robin, because I just ate like an animal for like 30 minutes dropped stuff all over the place. Everybody else is like having tea.
Speaker 2:And then you know.
Speaker 1:so then I get home and I start thinking about it. I'm like wait a minute, was I supposed to eat the lettuce wraps with my hands?
Speaker 2:Everything's confusing. The universe is not even. Is it real?
Speaker 1:I asked her was I supposed to hold those with the chopsticks? I was like, do I?
Speaker 2:eat them with my hands. It's like an egg roll. I guess I eat them with my hands. It's like an egg roll, I guess. But yeah, I was just, I eat them with my hands.
Speaker 1:It was a mess, yeah, but anyway, yeah, so don't take you to a restaurant with. I will bring my own fork, but anyway, yeah, got it. Try new foods.
Speaker 2:Try new foods.
Speaker 1:I'll try them with a fork.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Pretty much Try new foods. I will say the only thing about resolutions, whether it's health, new food, date night, I guess with gyms and stuff like that Also, you also kind of prepare to quit sometimes, especially with like health ones. Oh yeah, you know, when you're like, all right, I'm going to get in shape, I'm going to look at doing this sauna or I'm going to go to this gym, you know you're going to fail. When you look it up and you look up the gym, you're like I'll just check their cancellation policy.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:I'll just see what it's like, just in case I give up.
Speaker 2:Exactly what are the safety net options for this resolution?
Speaker 1:Do I have to come in person?
Speaker 2:to cancel.
Speaker 1:Then I'm not going to start it.
Speaker 2:Right, I'm going to quit from my sweatpants on the couch.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's why I like apps.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, all day.
Speaker 1:There's no shame in quitting. Nobody knows.
Speaker 2:Mm-mm.
Speaker 1:You just, you know, nobody knows if you delete that app. No, um, but that's the worst, is like when you have to go to a gym in person because they try to shame you.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, you go in there like you know, for only we can actually probably bump you back down to the beginner level, and if you just come, if you only just come in for so and so everybody's sweating yeah guys are swole or whatever. I don't know how's it going, man yeah.
