Speaker 1 0:01

It's like a FaceTime . It really is . This is what we need to be doing every day anyways .

Speaker 2 0:08

This is why I like this , because it's a scheduled FaceTime and it's like then I have you on my calendar .

Speaker 1 0:14

Exactly , we never don't have a call Right and then it's like a little happy hour .

Speaker 2 0:20

What else do I have to do ? It's a little happy hour ? I can't believe it's already Thursday , crazy , except all day today . I thought it was Friday , so I was a little bit disappointed to hear that it indeed wasn't . But what are you going to do Summer Fridays though ? Summer Fridays , you kind of get into work , you give it a couple hours .

Speaker 1 0:42

And then noon rolls around .

Speaker 2 0:49

You actually are like busy all day .

Speaker 1 0:49

It kind of , yeah , well , recently , yes , but some summer fridays , like , I've been like wow , it's 20 , 35 and I'm gonna take an app last friday was so fun , I just took that day off , just the whole day but that was so fun , that was a weekend that I just like you know , on like Sunday , after being gone for a weekend , you're like , uh , I'm like ready to go . We were just not , we did not want to leave depressed , yeah , depressed .

Speaker 2 1:17

Yes , I was like so sad on Sunday and I was like why am I sad ? And I was like am I about to get my period ? Like why am I sad ? But I , I was like , am I about to get my period ? Like why am I sad ? But I was just sad because you guys left .

Speaker 2 1:27

We just had such a fun weekend that I actually want to leave , no , and I didn't want you to leave . And usually it's like okay , usually Sunday is like one of my favorite days because it's like most of my obligations , like socially , are done , and like Matthew and I can just like chill and do our own thing . So usually I'm like so excited about Sunday . But I was like sad last Sunday . I was like Matthew , why am I like really sad right now ?

Speaker 1 1:53

We needed ice cream in order to move on .

Speaker 2 1:56

We needed ice cream too , and I actually , I think we got some on Sunday oh no , it was Monday , I think but I got a pint of ice cream this week . I already finished it , but it was awesome . What kind . So we got a dairy-free version because Matthew is lactose intolerant . Yes yes , and we got . I think it was Oatly , oh yeah .

Speaker 1 2:21

I didn't even really have ice cream .

Speaker 2 2:23

It's actually really good . It was like salted caramel something .

Speaker 1 2:26

Okay , actually , this reminds me Next time you're at Whole Foods , they have this almond milk ice cream . It's the Whole Foods brand Birthday cake . It's actually amazing and you would have no idea , like I don't know why , I bought it once , but then I was like , wait , it's actually so good , yeah , you would have no idea , it's such a pleasant surprise because sometimes , like you really know , it's dairy-free .

Speaker 2 2:51

Yeah , I'm like , am I eating like an ice chip ? Like what is this ?

Speaker 1 2:55

yes , the ice chip consistency , like we cannot have that wait , also speak of like dairy-free ice creams .

Speaker 2 3:03

I think there's like something going on with Halo Top , like what happened to it . It's gone .

Speaker 1 3:07

Wait , I've never thought about that . I haven't seen that in forever .

Speaker 2 3:12

No , and Matthew like loves Halo Top and he'll be like , oh go . Well , he used to love like Halo Top and he's like , oh , go to Whole Foods , Get me Halo Top . Whole Foods doesn't have it . Target Whole Foods doesn't have it .

Speaker 1 3:23

Target doesn't have it , you've got to ask the ice cream bar . Wall Street doesn't have it .

Speaker 2 3:26

I have to .

Speaker 1 3:26

They might've gone out of business or , like rebranded as something I don't know , but that's so weird Cause I feel like that that's something that would like be really in demand right now .

Speaker 2 3:35

So that's super weird , but there are so many other brands that I wonder if they all tasted better , because , let's be honest , like Halo Top did not taste good .

Speaker 1 3:45

Remember when we had that face , the halo , top face , oh everyone had a halo top , like in college . It was like , okay , guys , let's go to target and get our halo top oh my god , we thought we were being so naughty was probably just chock full of them it was just chock full .

Speaker 2 3:58

It was just 15 halo tops . There was nothing like legit in that they kind of sucked , so it it was like no , they're terrible , and we thought we were being like . So , like , ooh , little treat .

Speaker 1 4:09

Little treat , it's just . It's just ice Like . It just tastes like ice chips , like , looking back , honestly , I'd probably rather just have , like I don't know , a granola bar , a granola bar . Honestly , probably same . But that's just one thing I forgot about halo top .

Speaker 2 4:27

Yeah , where are you ? Halo top , halo top , where are you now ? And if that's not a perfect way to segue into our first podcast , I don't know what it is .

Speaker 1 4:34

Yeah , exactly oh my god , I love it . Um , I wanted to start with one of my my questions oh my god , okay , let's do it what are some of your favorite things ?

Speaker 2 4:49

right now . Okay , I didn't know like where we were gonna take this one . You know it could be anything . Okay , let me see what I wrote actually . Yeah , I made some little notes , because I made some notes oh , okay , this is a very new recent favorite thing , oh , and also an update that I have to tell you about .

Midwest City Adventures

Speaker 2 5:10

Oh , so you know , when you were here this weekend and I had that package coming and I couldn't find it .

Speaker 2 5:18

We did find it . It indeed was sent to my old apartment but we found it , we got it . It was a Le Cre crusade tea kettle and it is . It is the best . It was a gift from ally my sister and it is the best . Like my morning routine has just been taken to a new level because I have an actual tea kettle wait , and it's not so cute , it's so cute .

Speaker 2 5:44

it's's so cute . It's like a little olive , it's kind of the color of your sweater . I need to see a picture of it Okay . That is so fun . What a great gift .

Speaker 1 5:52

She's a good gifter , she's such a good gift .

Speaker 2 5:55

Well , the funny thing is that she didn't get me a birthday gift . So I'm like I've been on her for what Nine months now , I think it's been . And I'm like I've been on her for what nine months now , I think it's been . And I'm like are you going to get me a damn birthday gift ? So she knew she had to do something good .

Speaker 2 6:09

Yeah . And so it came in and I go , is this the birthday gift ? And she's like I don't know what it is , but let's just call us even . I was like , all right , it's always a joke .

Speaker 1 6:25

I'm like you , don love getting to the age where people buy you like a useful gift .

Speaker 2 6:28

You are so good , I guess I don't need a face mask .

Speaker 1 6:31

Well , I mean , I'll take a face mask and be happy about it but it's like I love , like I got you that like little vase , like you'll have that forever and you'll think of me I .

Speaker 2 6:42

It's literally right in front of me and I look at it every day and I love it , ow .

Speaker 1 6:47

Homeware is the best gift in my opinion Mm-hmm , and just like one gift .

Speaker 2 6:52

That like I feel like when you're younger you get like . You're like , oh , I'm going to get Tiana like four gifts and they're all like little and cheap , but it's like if we just pull that , yes to one nice gift like this could be a better situation yes , I 100 agree with that .

Speaker 1 7:09

One nice thing over 50 little things , yep , like I don't need . Well , I don't know .

Speaker 2 7:18

I guess little things are kind of fun too yeah , but like I don't know it's less of like you don't get that like excitement with a bunch know it's less of like you don't get that like excitement with a bunch of little gifts Because you're like , oh , I probably would buy these myself , but like one nicer gift . It doesn't even have to be like expensive Right , but just like one good thing , yes , I agree , which you are really good at . You're a very good gift giver .

Speaker 1 7:40

I will say Thank you , you are . They're intentional . Mm-hmm , that's what I try to do . Oh , I just held in a burp . I really need to like , not and like with the little blue vase . That was something that I was like . We need to celebrate more than just weddings and babies .

Speaker 2 8:02

You celebrated my new apartment ?

Speaker 1 8:03

Yes , because it's so amazing . I love your apartment . It's so pretty , it's so cute and it's just so you guys Like those windows .

Speaker 2 8:11

It is so like it now feels it feels right that , like you guys have been here , you know . Now it feels like it was way too long that we weren't there .

Speaker 1 8:20

Mm-hmm . Yeah , but like shit happens and now we need to come back before winter this weekend , yeah , we'll be there , please , I actually so good I forgot how much I love minneapolis that was so fun .

Speaker 2 8:36

I know minneapolis is such a good like such a good little like midwest but like bigger isish city , vibe it kind of feels like a big city .

Speaker 1 8:46

I mean , it is a big city it is .

Speaker 2 8:48

Yeah , it kind of is like sometimes I'm surprised about the cities that are smaller , you know , or like I'll hear , like I'll be like , oh , it's comparable to milwaukee . And then I hear milwaukee's like half the size and I'm like really like didn't realize . So yeah .

Speaker 1 9:03

I don't realize those things Like our dinner was so good . I want that . I want to go there every day .

Speaker 2 9:09

That was just the funniest night , Like I was telling my mom about it this week .

Speaker 1 9:13

It was unbelievable . It did not feel real . We were in a simulation actually .

Speaker 2 9:17

We were in a simulation . You took those words right out of my mouth walking home .

Speaker 1 9:25

Sim mouth walking home simulation , the whole thing simulation . I was like this was absolutely not real , not one part of that . And in the end , the weirdest thing was that there was a restaurant full of people when we got to the cocktail bar . Yeah , by the time we left , the lights were on . No one's there . We did not see one person leave not a soul in sight .

Speaker 2 9:40

All those people just vanished . Like they just hit x on those Sims and they went away . I swear to God Like I would have seen them go up the stairs . That's why they were fake .

Speaker 1 9:52

And like what were they doing when the man sang in opera Happy Birthday to Joe ? Like if you heard that one , you usually like turn around and look , you would think . Not one person looked .

Speaker 2 10:08

I cannot believe . Looked , I cannot believe , like I cannot believe and like the best part of the night is joe gets . Opera sang to him and then , on the way out , every single worker in this restaurant no customers anymore , just us every single worker is cleaning the kitchen and saying happy birthday , birthday Joe , happy birthday Joe . I'm like who are you people ?

Speaker 1 10:26

They were wiping down the like the pants in the back and they're like happy birthday , joe . I'm like how do you know , joe ?

Speaker 2 10:37

No , those people were a plant . I swear to God , that wasn't real .

Speaker 1 10:42

And it's like so close to your house , I'm like does this not happen frequently .

Speaker 2 10:46

Are these people stalking my life ?

Speaker 1 10:48

I have so many questions about you need to go back and see if it's like that again .

Speaker 2 10:52

I need to go back and clarify Are you people real ? I need to touch someone next time just to be sure .

Speaker 1 10:59

Probably the waiter that came up to you . That was actually really awesome because , oh my God , that was wild . The best thing about that is , like you remember , at Sammy's bachelorette party I was like that girl has such a cute skirt and you're like we should tell her . I was like yes , and I would have been told her . And you're like no , we have to tell someone if we feel that we like it .

Speaker 1 11:27

So you go up and you tell her . And it was like so cute and she probably loved it . So that's just something that you always do . Then this man sees you and is like you . You .

Speaker 2 11:37

And I thought at first you were in trouble .

Speaker 1 11:38

Across the bar Ew . Across the bar Ew .

Speaker 2 11:41

I'm like , oh no , what did I do ?

Speaker 1 11:43

Slipped back , bun , high cheekbones , like perfect nose , and I'm like , oh , this is so cute , that was so cute . Yeah , it was so sweet of them . But I'm like , wow , you did that to other people , and now this random man .

Speaker 2 11:56

It's coming back . It's coming back . This man like , really did not like , though , that I told him I had a nose drop . His lip was quivering . He's like no , it's your nose I see it , his lip .

Speaker 1 12:08

When you said that he was like I'm just waiting to say it .

Speaker 2 12:12

He's like , if I can see it , it's real , I'm like okay . His lip was quivering .

Speaker 1 12:17

We are all in agreeance . Perfect nose , you're right .

Speaker 2 12:21

Oh my god , I thought he was gonna beat my ass .

Speaker 1 12:23

I know I kind of did .

Speaker 2 12:24

I'm like it's okay she likes it , your nose .

Speaker 1 12:28

I'm like well , it's technically um dr cooks , but no , I think I mean you get to claim it you pay for it , it's yours .

Speaker 2 12:37

Well , actually katherine did so , she can claim this nose .

Speaker 1 12:41

So , thank you Mom . So the nose is still by your mom , basically , Exactly . Oh , that's true .

Speaker 2 12:48

Yeah , it's genetics . My mom gave me my nose , that's not a lie .

Speaker 1 12:52

No , no Generational wealth through the nose .

Speaker 2 12:56

Generational nasal passages . I don't know , I mean that's perfect . I don't know , I think that's perfect .

Speaker 1 13:04

I do too , but that was just the cherry on top of the whole simulation Even he disappeared at the end .

Speaker 2 13:12

Where did he go ? He like left through the back door or something Like all these people were going , not through the main entrance I have so many questions .

Speaker 1 13:21

I think his shift ended and he was like I need to go and tell that girl something really quick , Okay .

Speaker 2 13:26

He had to have been like 17 cocktails deep , because that man has never said more words in like one minute than I've heard in my entire life .

Speaker 1 13:35

And he still like somehow , like turned it back on himself , like he was like well am I modeling .

Speaker 2 13:41

He was like well , I got a skinny weight , yeah . And then he goes .

Speaker 1 13:44

I got a skinny waist and a big ass or something , yeah , and then like shakes his hips on the way out .

Speaker 2 13:49

I'm like all right that man was not real , I swear to god . But I hope you see him again . I do too . I'm gonna go look for him at red cow or mason margot oh yeah , he'll be there .

Speaker 1 14:00

I hope so , and I love that that place says the half glass of wine .

Speaker 2 14:04

That's all .

Speaker 1 14:04

I wanted .

Speaker 2 14:06

Okay , that's one of my new favorite things .

Speaker 1 14:08

Yes , I was going to say that for the favorite thing list .

Speaker 2 14:09

Yes , I was going to say that it's finding out that people do half glasses of wine .

Speaker 1 14:14

I think that should be everywhere , like a little half glass after dinner .

Speaker 2 14:18

Sign me up . It might be everywhere . I've just never asked anywhere except Maison Margaux .

Speaker 1 14:24

Oh really , I was wondering how you knew about that , because I didn't even see it . No , I just randomly .

Speaker 2 14:28

Well , because we always go there , like after a dinner , and I'm usually already you know a little bit tipsy , so sometimes it's like do I need a big glass of wine right now ?

Speaker 1 14:48

Or am I just gonna wake up with a headache ? Granted , I love wine , but sometimes you just want a little , you know . I will say that red wine was so good because I need to get into red wine . In the summer I always have white , but bates was like we gotta get it .

Speaker 2 14:55

We gotta get the pinot noir , it was so good yeah , august , but it kind of was feeling fallish it was okay .

Speaker 1 15:03

It's feeling fall this week I know it's kind of crazy which is so weird because literally at the wedding we went to the weekend it was 95 , so warm . And now I'm like , oh okay , this is great , it's soup season . Yeah , I'm like , okay , pumpkin space latte . We only have a few more weeks . That's crazy .

Speaker 2 15:23

And we love fall August 20 .

Speaker 1 15:24

Oh , is it ? That's even sooner than I thought , oh wait this could be one of our favorite things .

Speaker 2 15:31

What's on your list , okay ?

Speaker 1 15:33

Let's hear it . Low-rise jeans I did it . What did you say ? Low-rise jeans Wait , tiana , I did it . What did you say ? Low rise jeans Wait yeah , the ones I wore .

Speaker 2 15:42

I like kind of love them .

Speaker 1 15:48

Wait , are they the ones you wore Saturday night ? Yeah , they were low rise .

Speaker 2 15:50

Yeah , you couldn't tell because that top was like a little bit long , you couldn't tell . Okay , I just bought some yesterday . You did Online because you know the leopard . Is that leopard or cheetah pants I was wearing ? I think they're leopard Leopard , which I love . I love those pants and they are like a . I think they're a mid-rise . But I realized that like I put them on and I was like , whoa , this looks awesome Because my torso is so short , yeah , that I shouldn't even be wearing high rise to begin with , because they , like come up above my rib cage exactly you know what everyone thinks .

Speaker 1 16:27

Like oh , we all need the high rise .

Speaker 2 16:30

But like actually you look great in the high rise , but like and they're like nice , like it , like you know , you put like I don't know . Like high rise are kind of nice , but like I think low-rise are like honestly , like let the belly out , like I think it's kind of a vibe , I think so too .

Speaker 1 16:50

So , god , we got on that trend early , me too , okay . But your leopard pants are so cute , I need to get some of those .

Speaker 2 16:57

Okay , so I bought of those . Okay , so I bought . So I have those leopard pants and they're kind of like wide leg mid-rise , and then when I was trying them on this weekend and I was like I don't have a shoe for this , I bought your black pointed from h&m . Well , I just found some on amazon but okay it'll be probably close they're such a good shoe .

Speaker 1 17:19

The point pointy toe little kitten , heel Kitten , heel , so cute .

Speaker 2 17:24

I just got like a $30 pair and I'm like I will wear the frick out of these .

Speaker 1 17:30

You really will Like . You could wear those with anything the jeans , a dress .

Speaker 2 17:36

A dress , any pant .

Speaker 1 17:47

Well , more so , jean , but like , yeah , it's's a versatile shoe , which brings me to my next thing . Have you ?

Speaker 2 17:50

gotten any ballet flags . I don't know if my feet like I don't know .

Speaker 1 17:53

I don't know what I think about them you have the perfect foot for it , like so but my foot is very long . No , that'll be good .

Speaker 2 18:01

I think that's good I guess we'll have to see . I see it also might be a little traumatic in a ballet flat . I'll be like I feel like I'm in dance class you will . You'll probably start doing some pirouettes I'll probably do a pirouette on accident , just for out of habit .

Speaker 1 18:18

I just think it's be really cute with your little leopard pants and like a red ballet flat .

Speaker 2 18:26

Okay , oh , that's fun , that's a good idea . So what do you have for ballet flats ?

Speaker 1 18:32

I have this green velvet pair from Madewell and they're so cute and like , but they're not really . Those aren't really for summer , so you've got to wait , yeah , you have to wait until winter Got to wait a little . But also can't really wear those in winter in Iowa , because if it's snowing , we can't be out in a ballet flat .

Speaker 2 18:57

No , you have like a two-week time span that it would make sense for .

Speaker 1 19:00

Yeah , it's like a fall jacket . It's like a fall jacket . Yeah , it is negative time to wear it .

Speaker 2 19:07

You got to like keep on , watch on weather and be like , oh my God , next weekend is my weekend , and like put the shoe out and you cannot forget to wear it .

Speaker 1 19:14

Yeah , and wear it with every single outfit .

Speaker 2 19:16

Every outfit for two weeks straight .

Speaker 1 19:18

Like three days .

Speaker 2 19:20

Yeah , outfit for two weeks straight , like three days .

Speaker 1 19:21

Yeah , yeah , otherwise like imagine like trudging through like 12 inches of snow in a ballet flat I feel like I remember that as a child , like um , going to the school bus and being in a ballet flat and being like why did I do this ?

Speaker 2 19:36

yeah , it doesn't . It doesn't sound enjoyable , no , no , not enjoyable at all . No , it sounds doable , but like you're going to go home and kind of hate your life , Exactly .

Speaker 1 19:47

So TikTok on the ballet flats .

Speaker 2 19:52

Tiktok , tiktok . Your time is coming up .

Nature Activities and Camping Chats

Speaker 2 19:57

Something else I have on my list , kind of inspired by you , favorite things Outdoor activities . This could be a paddleboard . This could be a camping . Yes , this could be a walk on the river . Exactly , I just feel like I've been doing a lot more nature things and it's such a good vibe .

Speaker 1 20:17

Yes , I totally agree . Paddleboarding is my new favorite thing ever since you were my paddleboard queen it's so fun and it's like why did I never know about this ? I had never seen anyone out there doing paddleboarding , but I did it in colorado and it was so fun , so I was like we got to do it when we're together and then it's such a like day and that ended up being such a fun day oh my God , such a fun day .

Speaker 2 20:44

But it's such a like low barrier to entry , like all you have to do is like get literally this board and then stand .

Speaker 1 20:52

You know like there's no like .

Speaker 2 20:53

You don't have to like know how to do it . Like canoeing and kayaking is also easy , but it's kind of like a little more skill to it .

Speaker 1 21:01

Yes , you know , I mean it .

Speaker 2 21:01

it like canoeing and kayaking is also easy , but it's kind of like a little more skill to it . Yes , you know , I mean it's hard to balance , but like there's not a lot to it , and it's like you can go slow , like you don't need it .

Speaker 2 21:10

I mean , some people just literally sit on there , unless you're , joe , and he was sinking wait , I told my , I told my office about joe's sinking , because on on Monday we always do like a weekend recap and I was like I had a really fun time paddle boarding with my friends and they're like , oh where ? And they were like asking details and I was like , oh , we're at the lake and like my best friend's husband was like sinking and they were all like laughing at it . They were like , no way , what'd you do ? I was like he just kind of sunk . They were like no way , what'd you do ?

Speaker 1 21:40

I was like he just kind of sunk and like we just kind of let him do his thing . I just was looking Like him and Bates were like a little past us . I'm like , does that look like Joe's board is maybe like I don't know flooded with water ? And you're like , yeah , I think so . And I'm like seeing him like get adjusted . I'm like like , are you kidding me ? Like how does this even happen ?

Speaker 1 22:02

like of course everyone else yeah , and he's like oh , I think it's okay . I'm like , should we turn around , get maybe a new one ? He's like no , it's all good he was a trooper .

Speaker 2 22:12

He was kind of just vibing with it .

Speaker 1 22:14

I know he , he made it work yeah , he did because I didn't even know that like that was a possibility , I've never seen that .

Speaker 2 22:22

Well , mine wasn't Like , ours weren't like inflatable , yours was inflating , or yours was like an inflatable one .

Speaker 1 22:27

I feel like Yours . I felt kind of bad because it was like that like really hard material where , like if you were kneeling on that , it looked super uncomfortable . Oh , it did not feel good . That that was a true . You must be standing up paddleboard .

Speaker 2 22:40

Yeah , or didn't I kneel ? Oh , I kneeled on my life vest .

Speaker 1 22:47

Mm-hmm .

Speaker 2 22:48

Yeah , we had to get innovative .

Speaker 1 22:49

Mm-hmm , mm-hmm . Yeah , I love the outdoor activities and , yeah , you just went camping .

Speaker 2 22:56

Yes , we did go camping . I'm kind of like wanting to buy a tent now . I want to buy a tent . Yeah , there is so many . There's so much like gear though that I just don't have . Yeah , that like Craig has and like I just want to use his gear . I don't want to like invest in all of it Like sleeping bags , sleeping bags .

Speaker 1 23:20

Well , I , you definitely don't need a sleeping bag , it's just something that comes to mind . But I'm like no , but the whole time we were camping .

Speaker 2 23:26

I was like like it makes sense . Like when you think about camping , you think about a sleeping bag , but we , we get in our like we , we had air mattresses , because we're like you know , I'm not gonna sleep on the ground . Like what am I crazy , yeah . And like cra Craig gave us the sleeping bags and I'm like I'm kind of like what is this piece of shit ? Like why don't I just bring my comforter ? Yeah , totally Bring the comforter . Like they're good , but I'm like that makes way more sense .

Speaker 2 23:51

No , I don't know why people just don't bring like normal bedding . I think it like takes , like freezing and like maybe you need the like . No , and it was too hot .

Speaker 1 24:06

Oh , it was too hot and we had sleeping bags and I'm like I'm not gonna go in a sleeping bag , yeah no .

Speaker 2 24:09

And like I'm also not gonna camp if it's like I would say our weekend no same or too hot , like I would say our weekend was too hot really yeah , did you guys like a grill or anything , or ?

Speaker 1 24:23

like .

Speaker 2 24:24

So that's the other thing that Craig has is he has this little like propane tank and it's like a tiny little propane tank and then it has like a little it's basically like one of the stove . You know what I mean Like one of your whatever you call that thing Like flame yeah .

Speaker 1 24:42

Yeah , flame , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah .

Speaker 2 24:43

Whatever Little burner yeah , it's basically like one burner , so he used that . So it's like that's another piece of equipment like I don't want to like invest in you know , Mm-hmm , but yeah , camping is an interesting one .

Speaker 1 24:59

I for okay as far as the gear goes , this is kind of funny . When we were making our wedding registry I was like what if , once we're married , we just become campers ?

Speaker 2 25:10

That's not a good idea , so I put all this stuff on there , like this giant Yeti . Wait , I didn't even notice . You did this .

Speaker 1 25:17

Because I'm like , yeah , I'm going to camp . Well , I have not used the Yeti for camping purposes .

Speaker 2 25:25

But like I have always good to have a Yeti , yeah but like in the background , that was for camping for camping . Okay , I didn't know this .

Speaker 1 25:33

I think I took off the rest of the camping stuff after that . Yeah , did you put a tent or no ? I , I want to say I had a tent and then , like I was refining it , the whole registry , and I was like this doesn't really like it's curated . Yeah , no , I feel so . I was like we gotta , we gotta move . But something else I just heard is that the des moines public libraries you can rent , oh my god , like at the library wait , that's nice , I'm not sure what size tent like they could be , those little tiny ones okay , I don't understand the sizing of tents .

Speaker 2 26:16

Sorry , this blue moon is just like making me burpy , because the tent that Matthew and I slept in said that it slept seven . What , yeah ? Craig's like yeah , this is a seven sleeper and Matthew and I were legitimately like on top of each other and I'm like you're telling me seven bodies fit in this tiny thing .

Speaker 1 26:38

I can't even like imagine how big this would be . Like you guys , you're are telling me no extra room .

Speaker 2 26:44

So well , it's probably because we have an air mattress on there . Okay it's definitely meant for sleeping , it's definitely meant for going on the ground and you would literally have to maybe sleep on your side to kind of stack you in there . Yeah , I'm like seven bodies are in this thing , like kind of stack you in there .

Speaker 1 27:02

Yeah , I'm like seven bodies are in this thing Also . When would you ever need to be in one tent with seven ?

Speaker 2 27:06

people . I don't understand . I , if someone , if people actually camp like that , let me know , cause I have a lot of questions .

Speaker 1 27:14

No , just I don't want to do that . No , you'd be like sardines , like that's not fun . No , without the air mattress in general , I don't know if I'd do it .

Speaker 2 27:28

I can't Like on the ground , like you wake up and you're on a rock . Yeah oh , I would never sleep .

Speaker 1 27:34

No .

Speaker 2 27:36

Unless I had like 82 beers .

Speaker 1 27:38

What do you like do at night While camping ? Yeah , do you have wifi .

Speaker 2 27:47

No , I think the whole point is you're like not supposed to be on wifi . I guess , Okay , drink , we just drink . Yeah , and we made s'mores , which did take up a lot of time .

Speaker 1 27:57

Okay , that's a fun activity ? Well , you're really good at games . Did you play headbands ? Okay , this is the fun activity . Well , you're really good at games . Did you play headbands ? Okay , this is the summer of headbands . Yes , it is .

Speaker 2 28:08

The amount of headbands games I've played this summer is insane . I want to play it all the time . So do I . I think about it every day .

Speaker 1 28:15

With just like the little duct tape that we use , or painter's tape , or whatever Painter's tape yeah , it's a little bit more polite to ask people to put on their head yeah , like duct tape gets like a little bit crazy .

Speaker 2 28:28

Um , yeah , no , I really love a game of headbands , but the problem camping is you can't play headbands at night .

Speaker 1 28:34

It's too dark well , you could get some lanterns well , we had them .

Speaker 2 28:41

Well , we had like headlamps , but then you would turn them on and you'd really be shining them in this person's eye , oh no okay , I was about to like blind matthew , so that's a morning game it's a , it's like a day . Yeah , it's a day morning game yeah dang , I didn't think about that .

Speaker 1 28:56

You can't be playing out at night . No , okay , but add headbands to the list of favorite things that's a really good idea , yeah because that's just always fun . No , that's a good one um .

Speaker 2 29:11

What else is on your favorite thing list , or should we do to do's ?

Speaker 1 29:14

let's do , to do's . I have a bunch I don't , I don't have any , you don't have anything to do .

Speaker 2 29:20

I don , I do , but I don't know . It was the one where I was like I don't know what to put . I can't think .

Speaker 1 29:26

Okay , well , my to-do is well , it's actually not my to-do because I won't be doing it . Joe will be doing it . Oh , it's a boy job . Yeah , it's definitely a boy job .

Building a Breakfast Nook

Speaker 1 29:38

I want him to build a breakfast nook at the house .

Speaker 2 29:44

Yeah , when Over in that corner behind you .

Speaker 1 29:46

Yeah , straight back . Like , we have this little like I don't know really what you call that . It's like an overhang on the other side of the kitchen .

Speaker 2 29:55

Yeah , you can look down into like the um cause it's like half level , yeah , yeah , like your living room's like halfway down , yeah , kind of vibe .

Speaker 1 30:05

Yeah , so I really just want like a little breakfast nook over there . Cute , I love that . So he said that's a fall project , but I really want that to be like right now okay , why could I see you like hammering and like doing it ? Oh , no , no hammers , oh I could you could . Could I see you like hammering and like doing it ? Oh no , no hammers for me , oh I could you could ?

Speaker 2 30:23

I could see you doing it for sure .

Speaker 1 30:25

Oh wow , thank you . That's a huge compliment , because I don't use tools . I could so see you doing it . You're a tool girl .

Speaker 2 30:33

You would be the one to do it . I like hammering things like a lot . You should try it . It's like really fun . Well , I feel like you're really good at like being precise , and no , that's where you got it wrong . I just wing it and actually everything looks like somewhat level , but like I've never owned a leveler . You don't .

Speaker 1 30:52

No , I've literally never owned a leveler , I'm going to gift you one Birthday present .

Speaker 2 30:55

I do yeah .

Speaker 1 31:03

Put it on your leveler okay , but that's something I feel like I would notice in your house if I thought something wasn't and I didn't know and like looking around everything's like kind of level . I think you did pretty good and you're the handy one of the two I am yeah , well , it's more .

Speaker 2 31:13

Just because I am , um , and I feel like you're kind of the same way like I , I'll just like randomly , at like 2 pm on a Tuesday , be like I need to fix this . And I want to do it like the moment I think of it . Yes , I totally agree with that . That's why I could see you building the breakfast note , because I could see you waking up and being like , oh , I don't have anything to do , it's like a Sunday , and you just end up doing it . I could see that .

Speaker 1 31:38

Yes , I totally agree . Or what I would do is be like okay , well , if you don't want to build it today , when I thought of it , I'm going to find someone to build it , so I'll hire it Exactly Resourceful , resourceful , yeah , yep . But like when I want that done , I want it done , right then .

Speaker 2 31:53

No , we have the same Like . If I'm like , oh , this needs to be done , like it's in my mind , it's on my list and it will be done today , like I have to do it .

Speaker 1 32:04

Didn't you hire someone to like mount your TVs or something , or no ?

Speaker 2 32:11

No , no , no . Did you hire ? I don't have any TV mounted here . Was that the old apartment ? No , we did hire people to move a few pieces of furniture .

Speaker 1 32:24

Which I love that for you . It's so adult .

Speaker 2 32:27

Yeah , but no , we messed up that move . It was bad .

Speaker 1 32:31

But no , I haven't .

Speaker 2 32:33

It's just everything , but the move really yeah . Well , no , it was fine , but I hired someone to move three pieces of furniture , thinking like , oh , this will make this thing a breeze for us . One of the pieces was the couch . It didn't even fit in the stairwell , so then we just had this couch floating around in the lobby of our new building . So we were on the naughty list .

Speaker 1 32:58

I would never have thought that that couch would not fit no naughty list . I would never have thought that like that couch would not fit through . No , not now that I think about the layout of like getting up to your apartment that little door to get .

Speaker 2 33:08

Yeah , that's where it got stuck .

Speaker 1 33:09

How's any furniture moving through that place ?

Speaker 2 33:13

okay , you want to know something crazy though . Yeah , so we have two stairwells and when we moved in here , I only saw one stairwell . Oh no , I do think that it might have saw one stairwell . Oh no , I do think that it might have fit through stairwell number two if we had tried , but in the moment we did not know . It was a thing .

Speaker 1 33:29

Yeah , unfortunately . So Dang it .

Speaker 2 33:32

I would never have guessed that yeah , so that's probably how people are getting furniture up , probably Stairwell number two .

Speaker 1 33:43

Because that couch wasn't absurdly large like I would never have thought like oh , it was like it was very deep , if you remember that .

Speaker 2 33:51

So that was the problem they were having it was a little too like the width was too big anyway , I do mostly be on that couch that was a good couch . Couch , that was a good couch . It was comfy . Yeah , that was a good couch , but yeah , I don't know what's on my to-do list . Honestly , oh , I love that for you , though . Well , I have no like big house projects because , like , obviously , I rent this place , so I don't have anything like too crazy .

Speaker 1 34:19

Well , you've been working on your decorating .

Speaker 2 34:23

I have . I do want a rug for over here .

Speaker 1 34:25

I want like a round rug .

Speaker 2 34:27

But I'm coming to realize that , like all the round rugs are kind of ugly Like .

Speaker 1 34:31

I really like them .

Speaker 2 34:32

Yeah , oh .

Speaker 1 34:34

So like that's a weird thing . I'll have to do some research and see if I see any .

Speaker 2 34:37

It's a weird thing . I'm like running into is like there . I don't like the patterns on a round rug .

Speaker 1 34:44

And you don't need the round rug Like if you have no , I don't need it . Yeah , okay , but you don't need it .

Speaker 2 34:52

No , but like it could be fun .

Speaker 1 34:54

Is there anything you're wanting to cook or bake ? Oh , I am Well this also leads into like the question of what do I want .

Speaker 2 35:16

I have this really random . Well , this isn't random at all , but I want to make breads , like not necessarily a sourdough , because I know that takes a lot , so I just want to start with like a loaf of bread . Obviously , this is a big trend right now , whatever everyone's making bread . But , um , what I actually really want is a bread box , because I'm like how do I store said bread that I get you know what I mean that would be so cute , out on your counter wouldn't that be cute ?

Speaker 1 35:36

I was thinking about that and I feel like how satisfying to make your own bread and then put it in your bread box . Okay , well , it's on display . It's so fun , oh my .

Speaker 2 35:45

God , no , I can't like stop thinking about it . And this week I did . I went to a different grocery store than I typically do , Cause whatever I was over there and , um , they had like the taken baked breads where it's like kind of cooked but not like done yet .

Speaker 1 36:03

Oh .

Speaker 2 36:04

Yeah , and I've never done it before , but I bought it and you just like put it in the oven for like 20 minutes and then it came out and it was this like warm sourdough loaf and it was like so good . But then after I cooked it I was like where the fuck do I put this thing ?

Speaker 1 36:19

Right , because where else would you really put that ?

Speaker 2 36:23

And I Googled it and it was like oh , put it in a paper bag or a bread box .

Speaker 1 36:26

I'm like well , I don't have either . You're like awesome Glad I just happened to have a bread box .

Speaker 2 36:31

Yeah , good thing I got that bread box lying around , thank God .

Speaker 1 36:36

That's such a good idea , though .

Speaker 2 36:37

real bread that you pretty much made yourself at least it tastes like it's like it feels like I well , like I didn't make it , but like it tastes kind of like it was like fresh you know , have you ever made a bread ?

Speaker 1 36:50

well , not me , but joe joe has yeah joe had a big sourdough face . Did he like it or what was his thoughts ? Yeah , he liked it , but like , when he goes to that kind of phase , we'll have like 15 loaves Because , like , all he does is make bread .

Parenting Planning and Puppy Dreams

Speaker 1 37:12

And I'm like , oh my God , what am I ? I cannot keep eating this bread . So I'm like , please stop , oh my God .

Speaker 2 37:20

It's breakfast , lunch and dinner . It's just like sourdough and butter and like I don stop , oh my God , but like they were good . It's breakfast , lunch and dinner .

Speaker 1 37:22

It's just like sourdough and butter and like I don't want it to go bad , I feel bad . You want it in moderation .

Speaker 2 37:28

You're like give me like a loaf a week , Like then I'm done , yes , but even that it's like how like ?

Speaker 1 37:45

well , no , we probably eat a loaf every like two weeks , yeah , and it's like one of the littler ones , right , but then , yeah , also like the whole sourdough starter you have to like feed it , keep it alive .

Speaker 2 37:54

Too much admin on that oh my god , I already have enough admin going on .

Speaker 1 37:58

Yes , we can't be adding no way a sourdough starter . I already have enough admin going on . Yes , we can't be adding there's no way A sourdough starter .

Speaker 2 38:03

I already have to feed myself , my son , your son , my other son . I can't add a third in the mix . No A fourth .

Speaker 1 38:12

I was just thinking about that today , actually how we are both we're boy moms .

Speaker 2 38:18

We are boy moms . We have the same exact families actually , yeah , we do , they're the same .

Speaker 1 38:23

That's actually kind of crazy . Our sons have really cute names together , if you think about it .

Speaker 2 38:28

Our little Theodore and Walter Theo and Walt Theo and . Walt , they sound like professors .

Speaker 1 38:33

Yeah , they do . They would be actually , if you think about it . They would be Well , Walter , maybe Theo's got maybe six brain cells and that's being generous .

Speaker 2 38:44

Walter's definitely right there , theo and Walt . Doesn't that sound like two besties and they're like 65 ?

Speaker 1 38:50

Yeah , 100% .

Speaker 2 38:52

Theo and Walt .

Speaker 1 38:54

Oh my God , that's funny as hell . I'm actually really proud that he's not barking .

Speaker 2 38:59

It's pretty rare he's doing a great job . Yeah , I'm actually really proud that he's not barking . It's pretty rare he's doing a great job . Yeah , Do you think we'll be boy moms , like with an actual child , since we're like already a boy mom ?

Speaker 1 39:08

I don't identify as a boy mom . No , you don't .

Speaker 2 39:12

No , I don't want that . Wait , is there like a persona with a boy mom ? Yes , it's derogatory .

Speaker 1 39:17

Is it really ? Is it really ? Is it Sarah's day ? Like ? Is that the vibe ? No , like Sarah's day is great , but it's just like I don't want that .

Speaker 2 39:25

I don't it's derogatory it is .

Speaker 1 39:28

Should I bleep that out ? I don't want to be a boy mom .

Speaker 2 39:29

No , oh sorry , son , oh right when we literally talked about him not working . Yeah , okay , we don't want to be boy , moms .

Speaker 1 39:38

Well , I mean , we can't like , when that day comes we'll cross that bridge , yeah , but like no . Yeah , we like girl stuff too much .

Speaker 2 39:48

Yeah , I mean , if I had to learn , like , how sports with balls work , that would be crazy .

Speaker 1 39:54

No .

Speaker 2 39:54

Don't want to do that . I don't need to know .

Speaker 1 39:58

I just don't know anything about that life .

Speaker 2 40:00

I don't either . No , me neither Like he'd be like so rowdy and I'm like , have you ever thought about just like reading a book ? Like I don't know how to handle that energy .

Speaker 1 40:10

Wrestling in the house Ew Gross . Oh my God , oh my God , I didn't think about that .

Speaker 2 40:20

That's crazy and like it's expensive .

Speaker 1 40:23

Yeah , we can't be boy moms in this economy .

Speaker 2 40:26

You crunched numbers but it was not for a boy . No , I'd have to re-crunch them and add You'd have to re-crunch your numbers . Oh , my God , I love that you crunched the numbers on having a kid , like you need to like share this information with like young , like people in relationships who are thinking about having a baby I should , and I also should like consult with people who've done it and been like how accurate am I ?

Speaker 1 40:50

yeah ?

Speaker 2 40:50

you're probably close , I feel .

Speaker 1 40:52

I mean , I really thought of everything I was like calculating , like how much are sports now ? Time's up by like 15 years . Do you know how expensive like soccer is plus what if they want to ?

Speaker 1 41:07

do . Plus what , if they want to do I don't know , competitive cheerleading , yes and bad , oh my god , or something that sounds like a cheap one . I feel like that one can't be like that . No , that can't be bad . Like I'll get him a couple rackets , but I'm sure mine will want to be like , oh , just the most expensive Equestrian . Yes , they'll be like I need a horse . Actually I need two . You're like it wasn't in the budget , that was not a part of the numbers I grabbed . Did you say fart ? No , no , that was not a part . Oh , I heard fart . That was not A questioning result is not a fart .

Speaker 2 41:45

Oh my God , Not me laughing at fart . Am I like two years old ? I must be .

Speaker 1 41:52

The other day I told Joe that it's my dream to give our children a puppy on Christmas and he didn't support it . Why not ? He was like , oh , I don't know about that I'm like what ?

Speaker 2 42:05

Okay , I sit here as someone who got a puppy for her birthday and I will say that it was the highlight of my entire childhood .

Speaker 1 42:13

Right , so you have to do it .

Speaker 2 42:15

Amazing parent points immediately I was oh my God , you have to do it . They'll like automatically love you . Bella was for my birthday , really yeah . Oh my gosh , I had no idea . Well , it was because my best friend at the time , amina , got a dog and her birthday is a little bit earlier than mine . And then I was depressed and I pouted for like weeks until I got a dog .

Speaker 1 42:39

I kind of like made it happen , but you know your parents were like oh my god , of course now we have to get her a dog . Oh my god , could you imagine wait . But bella is so perfect for you , she was so cute , she was so cute . That's what I , that's what I would have picked for you rip , rip was really cute . Did they get her from like a breeder ? Yeah ?

Speaker 2 43:05

I think so .

Speaker 1 43:05

So she was like really planned .

Speaker 2 43:08

Yeah , she was planned Like they had to like drive and like do all that stuff .

Speaker 1 43:11

Were your siblings like where's our puppies ?

Speaker 2 43:15

I think it was like technically like the family dog , you know , but like it was my birthday .

Speaker 1 43:19

Yeah , that's they really like you Wait . And then this is crazy .

Speaker 2 43:25

She like like I was literally in like third grade and they're like , yeah , you train her . And I'm like , okay , and I remember they were like , oh , she has to sleep in a crate . And I'm like , okay , we had one of those little crates that are like the portable ones that like you take on the plane with like the plastic .

Speaker 2 43:40

You know , I'm talking about like a little kennel like a kennel and I would put it in my bed , in the bed , in my bed , so like she was , I was like crate training , but she was legitimately in my bed with me , but I put her in the crate I thought that was the same thing .

Speaker 1 43:56

I think you're . You were really smart because you were listening to your parents , but you , you're also like no , I want to sleep with you .

Speaker 2 44:02

Exactly , I was like making both of us happy , but like who let me train her Like she's like .

Speaker 1 44:08

I actually think that's amazing of your parents , because I don't want to train a dog ever again .

Speaker 2 44:13

No , it actually you're right . Like looking at it from a parent lens like absolutely , I don't have time to train at all .

Speaker 1 44:19

Like you want to , I have three kids .

Speaker 2 44:21

Yeah Like oh my God , that's a good point . Get the dog for Christmas and then be like congrats . Now here are your chores that are associated with said gift .

Speaker 2 45:02

Yeah , christmas .

Speaker 1 45:04

That's a problem .

Speaker 2 45:05

Oh , Christmas is a whole nother expense . I know I didn't even put that in the equation Did you add in , like breaking an arm or a leg ? Because that's probably not .

Speaker 1 45:15

I think I did put like medical possibilities Okay , yeah , yeah , yeah , there's got to be some that's medical possibilities .

Speaker 2 45:21

Okay , yeah , yeah , yeah .

Speaker 1 45:22

There's going to be some , that's for sure . There's got to be something . That's another thing about boys they're always breaking a limb , always breaking a limb . Or breaking other people's limbs ? Yes , that'd be worse . That would just be annoying to me . Oh my God , they're crazy .

Speaker 2 45:36

I don't want to deal with that . Maybe you could just sedate them a little bit If we get boys like put a little NyQuil in their coffee Just to start the day . Oh my God , I am going to be someone's going to find this when I have kids one day and like call the like , whatever it's called Like , what are they ?

Speaker 1 45:53

calling you Child protective services , or we're just unfortunately now . This is karma . We're both going to have like triplet boys . I wait , you could actually like have twins . That's in your dna does it go ?

Speaker 2 46:10

does it skip a generation , though ? Or no I don't know , I don't know how that works , but you would be a cute twin mom . Oh , you are you kidding me twins , are you ? I will be 250 pounds and that's probably like on the light side . I don't think there's any qa for a five foot four person to be 250 pounds . Well , I mean there is . If you are out there , I love you , but like I don't , want to do it .

Speaker 1 46:38

I don't want to do it . I'm scared .

Speaker 2 46:40

Well , you never know I mean , I feel like we're manifesting it and I'm scared no , we're having girls . They'll be ballerinas if we have girl ballerinas , that's it , like that's all I ever wanted in my life .

Speaker 1 46:58

Yeah , sounds so fun and easy oh my god , easy .

Speaker 2 47:01

They do like a little dance and you watch and it's like 10 minutes , like how cute , so cute .

Speaker 1 47:06

And an indoor sport . We love that Indoor .

Speaker 2 47:22

Yes , but oh , no , golf . We need to get them into golf , yes , golf . Tell everyone your theory .

But Bates did have a good point about golf because by the time they were good you've basically spent college tuition . That's such a good point .

Speaker 2 47:37

I didn't think about that . He was so smart . No , that's actually a really really good point . Okay , well , maybe rowing Rowing , little rowers , little rowers , get them a scholarship . Save mama's money , mm-hmm , mm-hmm , yeah , that's what we need .

Speaker 1 47:55

I think we're on to something . What are you doing this weekend , oh my ?

Speaker 2 47:59

goodness , what am you doing this weekend ? Oh , my goodness , what am I doing this weekend ? I'm hopefully going to see this Ends With Us . Yes , yes , I think on Saturday Fun yes Tickets might be crazy , but we need to see that .

Speaker 1 48:14

I haven't even looked at tickets yet , but that's on my list too .

Speaker 2 48:18

I've heard good things because someone , like some influencer , really gets the early screening .

Speaker 1 48:25

Why can't I ?

Speaker 2 48:25

have that , and she said it was incredible . I don't know . I read the book . Oh my god , I did too . I forgot about that . Yeah , it's been a while . Yeah , it was a good book .

Speaker 1 48:36

The trailer looks really good .

Speaker 2 48:37

I know .

Speaker 1 48:38

Blake Lively . She's the best I know .

Speaker 2 48:39

she's the best have you heard about the drama with it , though . No , okay , so , and I don't know if this is just drama . That I know because my podcast talks about it . But have you noticed that in all of the like promo for the movie it's like basically just blake , yeah , like it's like blake calling hoover a little , and then sometimes that like Atlas guy , yeah , and I agree , I've not seen once the main guy in a promo . Oh my gosh .

Speaker 1 49:08

Or really even like the younger version of Lily , you don't really see that much either .

Speaker 2 49:15

No , you don't really see them . But , especially that guy . Yeah , which is weird because he's like the main character and he's also like the director , so there's some like conspiracies on like and also everyone in the cast unfollowed him on instagram . Oh , that's super weird yeah , and he also like wasn't at the premiere and like really conspiracies yeah , what are ?

Speaker 2 49:37

the conspiracies . Well , some of them are saying that like , um , maybe something happened where , like there were like creative differences and like there were arguments and like they pushed him out . But then they're like that doesn't really answer why , like everyone's like unfollowing him on instagram , so I don't know . There's a lot of conspiracies out there , though some people are saying tell the tea , I know it's like , just spill everyone's , just like .

Speaker 1 50:02

Making random thoughts at this point and like what are they gonna do for the next movie ? Because I hate when they change up the actors like I won't forget it no ruins it

Tongue Cut and Fitness Fun

Speaker 1 50:14

wait .

Speaker 2 50:14

Is there a second ?

Speaker 1 50:15

book . Yeah , it ends with us and then it starts with us oh my god , I don't think I ever read it really I haven't , I don't know , I'm forgetting . Okay , I actually think that one was better .

Speaker 2 50:30

Okay , because I had a better ending actually , I think I did read this , but I just like forget what happened I'm sure you did .

Speaker 1 50:37

It was kind of popular like a while ago at this point .

Speaker 2 50:40

Yeah , okay , you would have read it . What's your like favorite book that you've read in the past like ?

Speaker 1 50:46

hour and a half . Okay , I love those Ellen books , aren't they good ? So good . Ellen Hildenbrandt , yeah , and that's the book that kind of got me into reading from Jo's mom she gave me I think it was Hotel .

Speaker 2 51:02

N nantucket . I love that . I love how we both like afterwards , we're like we need to go to hotel nantucket we have to .

Speaker 1 51:10

I haven't looked it up .

Speaker 2 51:11

Like I want to go next summer , we should plan a trip there it was kind of expensive , but I was like I'll stay there , like how ? Much in this little hotel I don't remember , but right when I finished the book I like looked up the hotel . It's it's like based after we need . You know , it's like the cutest little , like seaside , like so cute and we have to go to like that restaurant .

Speaker 1 51:33

Yes , like the sea or whatever it's called . Yeah , and have the pink champagne . Oh , my my God , fun , I love it . I actually found that champagne .

Speaker 2 51:44

Oh , like it's like an actual thing . Yeah , it's a real thing . Okay , I didn't look that up , I should have . Yeah , it's fun , we'll have to have it , yeah , in Nantucket .

Speaker 1 51:53

That would actually be a really cool circle , we'll have to plan .

Speaker 2 51:57

That would be fun , Like I would go to Nantucket .

Speaker 1 52:01

Even in like the fall , because you know we don't need to be doing the sun . I'm so scared of the sun , yeah , no .

Speaker 2 52:07

Especially with my retinol , oh yeah .

Speaker 1 52:10

How is the retinol ?

Speaker 2 52:11

going . The retinol is going really , really well , like it's going really well . It does make me a little more sunburn and like just a little more like generally red , but pimples are gone . Basically there's still like a few little guys , but like well , is that what like made him go away ?

Speaker 2 52:29

yeah , because my problem was it definitely is what made it go away , because within the first couple days they went away with like using it , whereas the pill I was taking like would take like a month , so it wasn't that yet . Um , anyway , I was having like too much oil , so just helped to like dry it out and oh , that totally makes sense .

Speaker 1 52:49

Well , I'm glad that it cleared up so fast , because sometimes I know , oh my god , it can take a while to even figure out what the problem is .

Speaker 2 52:56

Dude thank god , week one . It was like way better , oh my god . It was crazy . So how long has it been now ? It was like way better , oh my God it was crazy .

Speaker 1 53:01

So how long has it been now ?

Speaker 2 53:04

Now it's been like maybe three weeks , maybe four weeks . Actually Might be a month .

Speaker 1 53:10

Wow . So a while Retinol's also on my list for the year .

Speaker 2 53:15

Oh , I like that I think , like the thing is , though , I don't think you need it , you know , like I don't think your skin needs it necessarily . I kind of was just like last straw , I need something .

Speaker 1 53:25

I think they tell like everyone to use it .

Speaker 2 53:29

Yeah , that's true , I don't know what age .

Speaker 1 53:30

Because I did ask the dermatologist about it and she was like , oh yeah , everyone should have it . She prescribed it but I didn't pick it up because I got really nervous , because it was like the start of summer and she was like you can't , I don't know .

Speaker 2 53:45

She had like a bunch of things and it's not like crazy . Yeah , because it is . I feel like people do make it sound really scary with like the sunburn effects , and it's not like too crazy , but it's just like I can't forget a sunscreen . But if you have Like , it's fine , Right , and I'm really not outside all that much . No , no , but like if I go on a run , I'm like , okay , I'm going to put sunscreen on , even though it's only like 30 minutes . But , still Forget about your running journey .

Speaker 2 54:11

Yeah , how was your strength class at Lifetime ?

Speaker 1 54:15

Good , well , today I did a barre class because I like to mix it up . I like it Because , well , today I did a bar class because I like to mix it up . I like it Because I don't want to get too bored of one thing . No , well , and truthfully , because the strength classes are in the morning . So if I'm tired then I'll just be like , oh , I'll just do the bar at night .

Speaker 2 54:34

Speaker 1 54:46

Speaker 1 55:01

Speaker 2 55:19

We're going to get bagels right across the street . Oh good , so that's nice At least you have that to look forward to . Exactly That'll get me up Like the class isn't going to , but thinking about the bagels , like , okay , I can do it .
