No plus, I am still on my antibiotics for my strep throat, so I don't want to drink your drink. By the way, this is our hobbies episode. Remember what I was saying in the beginning, so we don't have to fucking figure out what episode we're doing Hobbies, hobbies, hobbies, hobbies, shoppies, hobby lobby.
Speaker 2:I hate hobby lobby. You don't, you don't like hobby lobby.
Speaker 1:No, I used to be like obsessed with it and now I don't know, every time I go there I'm like this is kind of I used to go when we didn't have one here.
Speaker 2:That was, and I would like literally go to sacramento, the one by arden, and I would just be like, oh, this place is so dope yeah you know, when I was doing all my crafts and stuff, yeah, and then, um, you know, they had a kind of a little thing during covid where they were just like I don't know kind of dicks I can't remember and so I was like I'll never fucking go there again, and so I've never gone to the one here ever. I have never, ever.
Speaker 1:I only went one time.
Speaker 2:I'm with that. Michael's place, michael's place.
Speaker 1:You like Michael better you know here's. It is a lot closer for us for me yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Than driving all the way down.
Speaker 2:But I know Hobby Lobby has some good stuff and sometimes I'm so I'm almost like I'm going to go and then I'm like fuck them.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, I don't even know what they did to me, but I'm not going to that place. You're so mad though.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm not patron. I think something like they are open on Sundays oh lord, that wasn't it. I can't remember, and so I just never gone back.
Speaker 1:That's fine, you don't have to yeah, you don't have to go places you don't want to the only thing actually that I bought from Hobby Lobby in the past few years was, um, uh, because you know, with my Christmas tree I wanted to make like a food themed one, and I got a whole bunch of ornaments at World Market and then the, when I was checking out, the girl told me she was like. You know, hobby Lobby has a bunch of them too.
Speaker 2:So you went, yeah, yeah, I know they have great shit and like and they have like like house stuff. I mean it's like Michael's on crack yeah, I don't know what it.
Speaker 1:I don't know, maybe I need to go again, because I just feel like I haven't actually been, because when I got the ornaments I just went online and went straight to the ornaments like I didn't even look around.
Speaker 2:The thing for me is I just order everything on amazon I need stuff tomorrow, today from 2 to 6 pm and I can't just be walking through the aisles trying to figure out if you have it or not. Show me the five. I know how you shop, yeah come on, I don't got time for this, I got to go.
Speaker 1:I like to go up and down every single aisle and I want to look at everything I mean.
Speaker 2:I like to go up and down the aisles, but like I'm just like if nothing catches my eye, I got to go.
Speaker 1:I know you just be flying through. I can't dig.
Speaker 2:I don't want to dig anymore.
Speaker 1:So when we went shopping, the other on, you seem like you're on crack. You're just walking around. You're like, okay, this is cute. Oh, yeah, I get one of these. But also you're like ping pong, ping pong, ping. Yeah, I don't like to waste my time. Yeah, I know. And then I couldn't keep up because I was like, oh, my gosh, I have to get my size.
Speaker 1:I'm looking through the outfits and then this slow, like we could have went to three different stores that's true too, and I mean, and I think it's nice for client, like when you're doing, uh, personal shopping with clients, I mean it is nice because they're getting like the most out of the time with you and how long do we spend in the fucking dressing room?
Speaker 2:I know if we would have spent another 30 minutes looking, and then, on top of that, plus, you get tired.
Speaker 1:I mean, I get tired, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:You gotta make it quick and you know, like I tell everyone, you can't buy everything from this store yeah yeah, I didn't. You can't just buy every single piece of outfit that you think is cute here yeah, you know for your outfits why, no, because you can't just look like you know, you work there maybe I want to, and then I could get a discount also.
Speaker 1:Look at how about this outfit right now? How about this? I mean, I did. I thought that my pants were gonna be. You know, when I'm standing, my pants go past here, so that's what I pictured, but now that I'm sitting it's a little silly, so just don't.
Speaker 1:At least I shaved my legs okay I was supposed to see my Mr Monday yesterday, so I we were planning it and then I did an everything shower and I spent so much time meticulously shaving my whole entire body and as soon as I get out of the shower he canceled on me oh no.
Speaker 2:How long does it take you to shave your whole body? I feel like you. You make it seem like these hours. These showers are like two hours.
Speaker 1:No, no, I feel like it's like 45 minutes, but that's if I have to like, because what I do is like. I also don't like to shave unless I've been in the shower for a while, because I feel like my it's like.
Speaker 2:Like you feel like it softens your skin.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Okay, softens your skin. Yeah, okay, like I have to like take, I have to like wash my face and then do and I do like multiple washes of like my face and my body. Like I use one regular body wash and then I use my like like body acne one which I don't even know if I still need that, but I just been using it since I was like in high school and then I like exfoliate my whole entire body, then shave my whole entire fucking body, and then I have to wash my hair and do the whole thing. So it's like 45 minutes yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't, yeah. And then you get out of the shower and then he texts me like five minutes before he wasn't feeling good. I mean he just came back from Spain. He literally got back like 20 hours before that and then he was like I feel like shit.
Speaker 1:He had like something problems and said he was like I thought it would be fine but he was like I was just eating like shit and eating hella like seven problems and he was like I thought it was gonna be fine but he was like I was just eating like shit and eating hell like food at the airport yeah and I'm so tired I just feel like I'm like god damn it why couldn't you text me like 45 minutes ago?
Speaker 1:I literally I know well he had like we had a time and then he kept like pushing it out and I thought and he didn't say why, and then he was like I thought it was gonna go away, but it's not yeah, no fun like sex things if your tummy hurts yeah yeah and so too connected. That's not good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't want anyone accidentally shitting on me or like you're in the middle and he's like I gotta throw up oh my god, you're in the middle and then you're like my stomach really hurts, like I just I need just to lay down, even like to have to stop and do that, like you're just like all right well.
Speaker 1:Also, if I hear their stomach gurgling, I'll throw up my big don't.

Speaker 1:Here we go. Okay, welcome to Maximalist Life. I'm your host, briannaanna, and I'm tamika, and today we're talking about hobbies that you can try in 2025 yeah, should we do a life update first?
Speaker 2:what have we?
Speaker 1:been doing shoot, okay, so I mean we haven't recorded in two weeks, right?
Speaker 2:I think the last time we recorded yeah, we did one week, so that means, yeah, two weeks for us, yeah what's been going on? I had my birthday party. Yeah, that was fun that was really fun it was really stressful first, and then it was well, you had to set it up. Yeah, the setup.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but it was really cute. I mean, you just have like such a good like house and backyard for like throwing parties.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's perfect and it was like a nice night, it was like the most perfect weather yeah, the weather was really good and, uh, my allergies were horrible, but it was okay. Yeah, I got through it it was really fun. Yeah, had a real fun time yeah, yeah, it was good, we had pizza, pasta, yeah, yeah, a hell of a different pasta.
Speaker 1:There was like three different kinds of pasta. Yeah, we have pasta.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a hell of different pasta. There was three different kinds of pasta. Yeah, yeah, I forgot what.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, these people outside just landscaping. Oh no, that was a street sweeper. Yeah, that one was a street sweeper okay, I'll let it pass yeah, um, I was gonna say, oh, the salad was so bomb what'd we have? I don't know it was really good. And then I I went to go get a second helping and it was all empty we should have made more salad, I just wasn't sure how people were gonna eat yeah, you never know you never know and usually I make more and more and more.
Speaker 2:But I was like well, the salad, like there's pizza and there's pasta there's like bread, there was so I was like okay, I'll just make like enough for like one per table a little bit, and that was it. Plus hella, desserts too. Yeah, all the desserts. So, but the salad, you know why that's Drew's like homemade, like Caesar dressing.
Speaker 1:So that's probably a little bit better, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that's really. Oh, I went to Paso Robles for a wine fest. Yes, it was fun. How was it? It was fun, is it? Uh, you know, the wine definitely is not as good. I mean, we've been there before, okay? Uh, the wine is not as good as napa obviously, but there are some good ones, yeah, I mean, I had fun. I didn't get like shmammered, oh man, you know which I think is better. I just don't really want to be at some fairgrounds, fucked up at 40 years old you know.
Speaker 2:So I think that that was good and we went with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and we stayed at Airbnb and that was pretty cute and we, like, went to dinner with some friends and so it was fun. It was like super chill.
Speaker 1:How many? How?
Speaker 2:it was like a two-day thing it was a one-day thing, so we drove out friday morning, it's about like three and a half. Well, we actually left thursday, say, the night at my brother-in-law's house, and then we went out friday morning, and so it's about a three and a half hour drive, um, and then we went to dinner that night and we went out for drinks and stuff and then we went the next day at one.
Speaker 2:It's actually kind of late it's like one to four thirty oh, okay yeah, and then, uh, I posted a photo because drew was wearing fab's sun hat and people were like flocking to him of course like couples. He was like, hey, you know, I was this one guy guy comes up to him and I was like I think they were trying to cuck with you probably he was because I wasn't like right next to him or whatever, and he was like well, you know, I was looking at your socks, but my wife was looking at your shirt.
Speaker 2:Oh, my God, and he had this like little a huge sun hat. It was like covering her face, you know. And so Drew was just I don't know. It got hot, and so my sister-in-law took it off and Drew didn't like bring a hat or whatever. He's just wearing it, he's just a little yeah, he's like.
Speaker 1:I need to cover my head.
Speaker 2:I don't want my head to get burned and people were just like coming up to him and stuff that's hilarious yeah, I was like oh my gosh, everyone got up and then came home, so it was like super chill yeah, speaking of couples and getting shmammered at a festival, that was so my update.
Speaker 1:So last weekend I went with cecily and angela to country in the park yeah which was okay.
Speaker 2:I never have been there before and I feel like you were just gonna be like it was all right yeah, mid right, it was so mid like it was just.
Speaker 1:I mean the. I mean, to be honest, like really the only. I've only been to two music festivals ever bottle rock in napa, which is really nice, and that's this weekend, yeah it is this weekend and me and Brie aren't going oh.
Speaker 2:I got it for something. I thought it was Memorial weekend, but this is Memorial Day weekend. Oh, that's right, it's usually later in the month.
Speaker 1:I feel like yeah.
Speaker 2:I feel like it seems early, yeah, yeah okay, um.
Speaker 1:So anyway, bottle Rock is really nice, and then I have been to outside lands in san francisco, which is like really cool but very different. But anyway they're like huge, like they're really big and multiple stages and all this. I don't know. I just, I never I didn't know what to expect for this one and it's just so much smaller I mean there's literally one stage. It's mostly like kind of seems like up-and-coming country artists with like one.
Speaker 2:Well, at the end that you've heard of. Are you really into country?
Speaker 1:I am really.
Speaker 2:Oh, you are yeah, like you keep up with, like the newer people and stuff okay, so you should have recognized some of them.
Speaker 1:Yes, but I was like, I mean, it was just like, it was just okay, I don't know, and just even some of it, like even the lady who was announcing, like she like said the wrong name. Oh on, one of for, like, for, like the headliner not a very good MC there yeah, it was just like.
Speaker 1:And then it was weird, because for other ones I feel like someone performs and then it kind of goes straight into like another performance. And this one it was like there would be like one person performing a couple songs, like they wouldn't really be up there for very long, and then there's just like an hour where there's nothing happening, and then, like another person, I'm like why don't we just have all this, because it's only a one-day thing? Yeah, oh no, it's not. I'm sorry, it's a two-day thing. We were only there for one day, but anyway it was okay. And then other festivals. I feel like there's food tents and like you know, like food trucks, stuff like that. But this one it had that, but then it had like. It had like like the Army was there and like CHP it's like they're recruiting people.
Speaker 2:Well, that's where all the white men are.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the country festival, yeah, I mean, they're like just coming up to us, like this one guy, he comes up to us, like this one guy, he comes up to us and he's like question for you, ladies. No, uh-huh. I was like, oh boy, don't talk to me out of the three of you, which one of you is most likely to be a detective?
Speaker 2:and cecily goes I already am a detective she's so silly she's fucking off the hook, man oh my god.
Speaker 1:Listen, I'm 37 years old. I'm not looking for a career change at the moment. But, thank you sir, I'm not. I'm not being a detective. Uh, don't talk to me.
Speaker 2:It's just so weird, like that's what you, I don't know. Yeah, I mean I'm glad I didn't go. I would have fucking hated that place. I mean I already knew, like that's not the place for me no, you wouldn't have liked it I don't know any. I mean, it's not fun to ever go to concerts where you don't know the words right regardless of what you know, genre it is. That's not fun. It's not as fun, so like when you know all the words.
Speaker 1:That's what makes concerts fun yeah, you kind of like dancing along.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just I would like to dress up.
Speaker 1:You know me, I'm a sucker to dress up for anything, uh, but yeah, not really there was some cute, like a couple of cute booths that maybe I feel like you'd be interested in, but not that many like there just wasn't that much stuff right.
Speaker 2:So bonus country in the parks of shops. Yeah, right, oh, that's it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they had to be vendor places, yeah she's just shopping, don't worry about her, she'll be over there the whole time, I know. And then like, also, when you go up to, they only have like one wine, like it wasn't like you could pick anything, and so I was like, okay, I'll get the one wine that you're offering. And it wasn't very good. And so I was like man but anyway, it was just.
Speaker 2:I don't know like how come people don't put on good things?
Speaker 1:I know, and it sucked because I was driving and so I didn't want to like drink too much because I didn't know how late we were planning to stay yeah, I didn't what are the hours of the festival. So it starts at two and then the headliner starts at 9 PM and then I think it ends at like 10 ish. Okay, but like we got there right at two like idiots when it first opened.
Speaker 2:I know I like to get there People don't know this. But Brianna makes you, if you, if something's like at six, she makes you like leave here at three o'clock. So you get there even before it starts like I'm like one that's like I'll be there like right, exactly on time.
Speaker 1:No, because I'm like you know, I want to get a good parking spot. I don't want to be like dealing with a bunch of traffic and I was like I want to make the most of it. You know, I didn't know how long we were going to stay, so I was like you went at two o'clock and what it was hot as fuck, it was too hot. From 2 to 4 30 was awful. It was so bad, like we were. I mean, we were literally just drenched, like me and cecily, because we had our hair down. Our hair just like the whole underneath of our hair was just like wet. It was so gross. And because, like we were, me and angela were line dancing because they had a whole line dancing tent. Oh so that's fine, I love line dancing you really do okay.
Speaker 1:So I didn't mean to talk about country in the park for so long. I meant to tell you. So I matched with a couple on this app, okay, and they we messaged a little bit. They live in Sacramento, where this country in the park festival is, and then we were supposed to meet like that that weekend. And so she asked, or like I said, something about being at country in the park, and then she was like, oh well, we'll be there too. And I was like, okay, I'm gonna be there on Friday. And they said they'll be there. So we were supposed to like meet there and just like have a drink and just whatever have sex see you in the food tent.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah and um. So we. I told her we're gonna get there too. She's like okay, I mean, we're not gonna get there till four or five, you know, like normal people like listen to her, I know you should have been like oh, have you been before?
Speaker 2:yeah, I know like should I get there later?
Speaker 1:what an idiot, yeah. So she, so I said, okay, text me, since you're gonna get there after me, just text me when you get there and then we'll figure out like where to meet or whatever. So she's like, okay, sounds good. So you know, 4, 35 like rolls around. I don't hear from them and I'm like, okay, that's kind of awkward, yeah, and so, and then you know, of course, cecily and angela, they're just like have they texted you yet? Have they texted you yet?
Speaker 1:and they're so interested no, yeah, I mean cecily wanted to come with me. She thought we were all gonna get a drink together she's.
Speaker 2:She's about to be swinging with you too. Yeah, I think she wanted she was like she's interested. Yeah, like I want to see how this goes. Yeah, what's this interaction?
Speaker 1:yeah so I said, you could stand far away.
Speaker 2:Okay, so now just thinking about it. I don't mean to interrupt, but, man, I'm just like thinking, like when you're out and about, like how often do you think this is happening?
Speaker 1:and you just like you don't know yes, that's so weird, well, and I wonder, like when I go, if I go meet, like when I met that last couple in, uh, walnut Creek they're from San Francisco and we like went out and had drinks and appetizers and it's just like the three of us are there I wonder if people are like what's happening here, right, or do they not even think anything of it? Because I don't think I mean, before this I don't think I would have thought anything of me seeing people.
Speaker 2:I was just like, oh, that's probably her friend. Like I'm trying to figure out, like have I gone out with like a friend and then drew, and then we look like we're about to do some stuff yeah, I think people don't think that unless they do that.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm gonna think about it now all the time yeah, because I had this situation come up where someone's asked me about this couple and they have this friend that was a girl and then I was thinking like I think they might have done some stuff together, yes, and I was telling someone else about it and she was like I think you're fucking right and I go, you put it together it seems like this thing, yeah, and so I was like that's weird.
Speaker 2:And so now that you're like got me in this world, yeah, I'm like who's doing what?
Speaker 1:I let you in the back door. Yeah, now you know what's happening. Well, and too, because, like, so he's obviously like when I went to drinks with them, like he's sitting, you know know, next to her and sometimes like he has his arm around her and stuff, but then he left, went to the bathroom, which is like behind me, and so then he's walking back, he comes over and he's like like grabbing my shoulder, putting his hand on my back you know, and so I I mean that would be.
Speaker 1:I feel like if people saw, they'd be like what feel like if people saw, they'd be like what I feel like what's happening. And she's sitting there. It's not like she's not at the table and he's doing that where they're like. Oh, he's cheating on his wife yeah, I always.
Speaker 2:I often think like do people just think like, oh, they're brother and sister and then this one is like, you know, the wife or whatever and they're just like you know like friendly brother and sister right, you know right anyway. So you're supposed to meet them. You haven't heard from them what yeah, so, anyway.
Speaker 1:So I kind of was just like, okay, this is awkward, yeah, and I'm not texting them. Yeah, yeah, no, because they're like, just text them. I was like hell no that's so embarrassing.
Speaker 1:I'm glad that you decided against that, because I feel like that would be something you would do yeah, probably good, because also you know, I want to just like over communicate everything, make sure no one's confused, yeah, but I was like no, because what if they change their mind? Because also they said they never did this before, so that was part of it too is the first time, and so you know, they might be like the wife might be like I don't know, and then she gets there and goes I don't want to do this anymore yeah, it could just be a weird situation.
Speaker 2:So you never know, yeah, later on when you're not in the situation is, you know, say something so we're walking along.
Speaker 1:So we're just, I'm like I, they'll text me or not, it's fine. So we're walking along, we're gonna go to the bathroom. So we're walking towards the bathroom and there's a couple in front of us. They're walking like the same way, so like we're behind them, and I didn't even really I didn't really think like that much of when they were just were walking, like I just remember I paid attention because the girl kind of was like she kept like flipping her hair kind of a thing, and then it's like the, the building is kind of mirrored and so she was like looking at herself and and, um, then Angela looks over and she's just like god, this guy in front of us is so hot and I'm like he is. So I look at him and I'm like he is. So I look at him and I'm like wait a minute. And she's like I love his tattoo, because he has like a calf tattoo and it was like goes all the way around his leg. She's like, oh, I love his tattoo, like I.
Speaker 1:She's going on and on about the tattoo and I'm looking at it. I'm like, oh my God. And so I'm, and I look at Angela, like my eyes big, and she's like is that them? I'm like I think that's them. I couldn't really tell, you know, from behind I'm like I don't know, I can't tell. And so she's like oh my God. And so I was like I hope they don't turn around, does I mean? We're like just a few feet behind them.
Speaker 1:And so we get to a like kind kind of little fork in the area and so we go to the bathroom and they go the other way, towards the bar. So I'm like just keep walking, just don't turn around. Don't turn around. So we get in the bathroom and Angela's like that was them. I'm like. So I pull out my phone. I'm like this is a photo of them. She's like that was them. And, of course, cecily, who are we talking about? Silly, you're not listening. And then she was like dang it, I didn't even get to see them. I'm like I know, and you were so excited well, why did you pay attention, miss ma'am?
Speaker 2:she goes.
Speaker 1:I didn't even know what was happening. I'm like what? This whole time we had a conversation right in front of you. So I'm like that was him. So okay, now they're here and I'm like, well, they were going to the bar, maybe they just got here like they got here late or whatever, so they didn't text me. Whatever the whole rest of the night goes on, they never texted me because when you saw them, what time was it?
Speaker 1:it was like 5 5, so it's like around the right time when you should be seeing them, yeah it was like 5, 30 actually, but yeah, I mean shortly after like the time they said they were going to be there. So anyway, um, that was that. And then they never texted me and then we were leaving around 8. And so I just sent her a text. At that time the girl and I was like hey, we're taking off, so maybe we could just try again another time. Like hope you guys have a fun night. Just to like confirm, and I didn't want them to text me later, I'm like I already left bitch. So then she texted me at like 10 30, which I think probably is when they were leaving. She texted me and she just was like oh, okay then another time, then for sure, huh weird so I wrote back and I said hey, I don't know.
Speaker 1:So I was like hey, I just don't know if there was like a mix-up. I was like I thought you were gonna text me when you got there, so I don't know if you were waiting for me to text you, so sorry if, like we, you know, misunderstood what was supposed to happen or whatever. So she texted me back the next day like late in the afternoon and she was like I was so wasted. She was like we did some like pre-game before and she's like I was so fucked up already. So we got there and she's like I barely remember and here's the thing.
Speaker 2:Are you worried about that? Because uh she was nervous. She was probably nervous mm-hmm what were the other threesome you had?
Speaker 1:yep, that's exactly what it reminded me. I told her about it. I told her you did and I don't know if that was why she drank so much, or she just like, but also I'm, or that's just how she is, I'm like geez well, yeah, you don't really know.
Speaker 2:I guess she's like when you had your other threesome. The lady was sick throwing up and she had to keep leaving. Yeah, keep leaving and just leaving me there with her husband and she had the rule where you guys weren't allowed to have sex, right.
Speaker 1:No, was that that one? No penetration yeah, come on.
Speaker 2:So then you and him were just like all right, we'll just too.
Speaker 1:Don't don't tell me that we're not doing anything.
Speaker 2:Yeah, while she's gone, we're just sitting there's like a trust weird thing.
Speaker 1:You will you just feel, yeah, it's like, and you feel very like when you're the third person in that situation. Yeah, I mean, right, the typically what it seems like is the wife is the one who's nervous, and then she's the one like I don't know if I could trust your ass, and then the husband, he'll just fucking do whatever, and so you have to be the one that's like okay, here's the rules that we said, you know we're not professional yeah, I'm a professional here.
Speaker 1:Okay, here's the rules and I need a good review, so I need referrals so do you think this is becoming a hobby of yours?
Speaker 1:I was just gonna say there was a couple hobbies at this uh festival, this one in the line dancing. Yeah, I have been, yeah, I've been loving line dancing. I was doing it a little bit last year, I mean not a lot, just a little bit. And then I kind of stopped and then bentley even asked me because I would practice my line dances in the living room yeah, I remember look them up on tiktok, and then I would just practice, practice, practice well, because we're going line dancing next friday.
Speaker 2:Yes, okay, so I'm excited, you know I get too excited to like okay, yeah, we're gonna go do something. And then I was like okay to me, come line dancing with us whatever she goes, I'm not going to fucking line dancing and I go, come on yeah, why am I going line dancing?
Speaker 2:come on really my thing, just for fun, it's just yeah, I'm just gonna go have fun and like I'll just take some videos and whatever like you know you're the content lady yeah, it's not really good and also like I don't really like to do things when I don't know like you know, I don't really know the or the songs yeah, yeah, yeah. So I just feel like yeah it's just whatever.
Speaker 1:But it'll be fun. It'll be like a fun little experience for all of us to just hang out. Yeah, what other? So that was a hobby from last year that I did and we did like one in the studio.
Speaker 2:We had like a little class here in the studio, remember yes, we had a little line dancing class here.
Speaker 1:That was fun.
Speaker 2:What hobbies.
Speaker 1:So last year I was. I started off the year saying like every month I'm gonna try a new hobby, and then it lasted for like four or five months. That's what you did. Oh my god, I didn't keep up with it, but I did way more than I would have had I not had that goal. So I started off with watercoloring which is so funny.
Speaker 2:It's just watercoloring so pretty to me and I really love painting. I know I used to do it in high school a lot and then I just stopped. I don't know, and sometimes I'm like, maybe that's what I need. I just need to sit in my backyard and do some painting, like, and just have like an hour of alone time or something I don't know, and then I just become a slug I know, and it's a lot yeah, it's a lot of setup you have to clean all your you can't just like clean, you don't want to clean.
Speaker 1:You don't want to clean the brushes after? Yeah, Sometimes I just throw all the brushes upside down, you know in the water and just leave it so they don't get crusty.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, fuck it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just need an assistant. I need my assistant to come clean up after my painting. How ridiculous.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it doesn't seem like you should be doing with your assistant.
Speaker 1:I have to pay her to set up my paint supplies. Yeah, what an idiot.
Speaker 2:Yeah who am I yeah yeah, no, you can't do that well.
Speaker 1:So then, okay, so one month I tried that and then that was good and I actually did it for a few months like I kept it going and then it you know, actually it was more than a few months. I stopped when we moved, um, because I had like a little paint area set up in my old house and then when we moved it got all packed up and now it's in my office and I haven't really set up my office yet. I know it's like my office hobby room, slash guest room and like I just haven't. I was working on it last week. I was working on some of it. I'm gonna make my my closet into my like actual office so I can put like a standing desk and everything in there and then have room for my puzzles.
Speaker 1:You, know I like puzzles, another hobby of yours.
Speaker 1:I do puzzles yeah, then I did hiking, you did. Yeah, it only was like for two months. I did hiking for like two months. Where were you hiking? Just at Rockville Park, yeah, but it sucks because it's like I mean, as a woman, a single woman like you shouldn't really be just hiking by yourself. It's not really safe anywhere to just be like out like that, and so even if I had like my son with me or something just to like, just so it deters people from we got another street sweeper outside. I don't know if you can hear it on the recording, but sorry, I don't really have any like hiking friends. I went hiking a couple times with my neighbor, but that was pretty much it.
Speaker 2:Your neighbor Pearl.
Speaker 1:Cute. She went with me a couple times, but yeah, I hate hiking. I don't love it, but I feel like I would like it more if it's like, if I I want to hike with someone who knows, like who's really into hiking, and they know like, oh, here's some like this one's a good trail and this one's this, this, whatever, like I don't want to go with the tour guide yeah, I want someone to show me around and I want to be a guy because I feel like they'll.
Speaker 1:It's like safer they can protect you, or they could just carry me the rest of the way back if I'm tired bring the wagon so you could drag me back. I need you to get the wagon, yeah get the wagon out for me.
Speaker 2:Get the fuck out of here. You're hiking, but you have to get carried back I can only go one way.
Speaker 1:I can't do the round trip yeah, what drive around?
Speaker 2:pick me up at the end.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know what's fun too especially if I go with bentley is I have like a little backpack for my dog and so carry the dog with you?
Speaker 2:well, only if he gets tired because you know that's, that's what you want. You want the backpack for yourself, right?
Speaker 1:yeah, I need someone to carry me in a baby bajorne, bjorn, bjorn, how you say it. So the dog would just go like hike with us for a little bit. Plus it's tough because he's like white and fluffy and so we'd go places. Sometimes it's muddy, yeah, and so I'd be like put him in the backpack and then it has little windows and he just looks around the whole time no yeah he loves it and also, like you know, when the dogs are out there, they get those little fox tails yeah, I.
Speaker 1:It's just like I want him to have such an adventurous life and I want to take him places. And I look at him and I go god, it's like your whole life revolves around me, like you're. How good your life is depends on me, which isn't even true completely with kids, you know, because they can go out and do shit on their own and then they grow up and they whatever. But man, a fucking dog, poor thing. I'm like I need to take you. I told him this week I would take him to the beach. I told him, so I have to take him.
Speaker 2:I think he would like it yeah, I mean, that's why I won't get a dog after lola.
Speaker 1:I don't want like the poor thing, like I wish I could take lola with us too, but she'll cry in the car the whole time. Throw up.
Speaker 2:She has the most anxiety. It's like Lola chill, it's fine.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she's such a lazy dog.
Speaker 2:So it's like perfect, like okay, let's just lay down. Just lay down, it's fine, you're not doing nothing, then I know.
Speaker 1:If you don't want to do anything. She's old too here. Oh yeah, damn, I know we're all lady, I know, uh, hiking, watercoloring, boom, yeah, what else? Pickleball? I did pickleball with kristin, yeah, and that was super fun, but also it was in the summer and it was we were dying, it was hot well, it gets so fucking hot here, like how could you do things outside here and in the afternoon yeah, what are you supposed to do?
Speaker 2:you have to go really early in the morning right like you have to do things early. It's like palms for rings here. You have to do stuff early in the morning because you can't walk step foot out at like after three I know we were uh, because we signed up for like a, it was like a class type thing, oh.
Speaker 1:So it was like it was already set on the time and you guys dressed up. Yeah, we were like cute pickleball, At least you know, nobody else wore stuff like that. Well, we lived in Vacaville.
Speaker 2:They probably thought we were idiots. Yeah, they're like. What are these stupid bitches? Maybe if you were like in San Francisco or like Like I thought they were just going to be like oh look at these girls, look at these idiots with their tennis skirts.
Speaker 1:Do they know?
Speaker 1:they're playing pickleball, not tennis. They think they're influencers? Yeah, yeah, like I thought they're, but actually everyone was so nice and they were all just like but it was too hot, but it was really fun. I wish we had an indoor pickleball place here, yeah, but we don't. No, but yeah, that was pretty fun and I actually was surprised at how good air quote good we got in the month that we did it. She was a lot better. I mean, she played tennis before, so there was a little crossover in skill there for her, but it was fun. It was a fun. I don't really usually like sports where there's balls flying at me. I I don't have very good hand-eye coordination, yeah so, but I do really want to try golf yeah, you know.
Speaker 2:So the golf thing seems really boring, uh, but I love to drive around that golf cart. I'll be like the golf court, golf cart girl and uh, just have mimos and just be fine out there, although you know there's a lot of accidents that happen when people are drunk in those golf carts well, are you going to be?
Speaker 1:are you'll be drunk?
Speaker 2:I hope so otherwise it's a long day, you know, because you're out there for some hours and it's like 5 am tea time?
Speaker 1:Yeah, you have to go early.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, I'm having meals, you know, at 5.30 am. It's like airport rules, you know, you just walk in. I saw this meme the other day you walk in the airport. Someone said like I don't even know who I am at the the airport, it's 5 am, I'm ordering a burger, a bourbon, you know, fries, you know all this shit. Yes, and it's like, yeah, that's how it is. So I probably could go to the golf course and like toot around.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just drive around drive around and have some memos I just want to drive around and like yell things at the guys, hey sexy all the guys in their khaki pants. Yeah, and they're all like 55.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Hot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so hot.
Speaker 1:I just need something to sell, like can I sell them a membership or something, and then I could wear a cute outfit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was thinking like do they have? I would love it if there was like I could be a cart girl and like they're serving martinis. Oh my God, please would love it if there's like I could be a cart girl and like they're serving martinis, oh my god, and I had like a martini cart and I was like but, but, but, but, it's like a little putter.
Speaker 1:So you're, you're, uh, I would imagine I work at the golf? Yeah, you do. You don't want to actually golf, you want to work there. Gotta go to my job at 5 am, sell my martini you. I can never imagine you having a 5 am job.
Speaker 2:That would be the worst for you no, I'm an early person though though yeah no, I mean yeah, yeah, I'm no because you're always up so late, though not really, though I mean I guess on the weekends yeah I am like early. I mean because like think about, I did all those weddings all the time we'd have to leave at 6 am.
Speaker 1:Well, and then your whole training here was at fucking 5 am every day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm pretty much an early, early bird also you.
Speaker 1:I feel like you could also stay up late and get up early, and you'll just be like whatever that's exactly what I did last night.
Speaker 2:We stayed up till like 1, 30 or so, and then I was up at six see, I knew it like getting ready, like here we go damn, and I'm here. Yeah, you're in bright eye and bushy tail, that's right yeah, crazy I'll be a slug later after all my damn fucking appointments today. What kind of appointments? You have lash nail, my nails coming off, I injured it no, yeah, I did a little jam like this, like right into a fucking wall, and so then of course it like so, so it's not off.
Speaker 1:But it's like trying wobbly and then it catches on things and it hurts.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I have no nails on right now I put a band-aid on it so it would like keep this part down, so it wouldn't go. But I could be, you could feel that it's like off or whatever. So and my nail lady didn't have time today. She only has one hour and so she was like that's as long as I can get a design oof and she was like you can get something really simple oh my god, you know she just got back that's why from vietnam, so she swamped.
Speaker 2:Yeah, when I asked her, I was like this is the only time I have yeah, she's like okay, I know.
Speaker 1:You know I used to do all my maintenance appointments on fridays, but then since we started recording on fridays, yeah, I started moving a lot of my appointments to Thursdays. But I do have a hair appointment well, I work on.
Speaker 2:Thursday yeah, it sucks for you, yeah yeah, I don't usually work. I mean, I do my brows on Monday right yeah, sunday, the next time it's gonna be on a Sunday, so yeah.
Speaker 1:I just already had all my hair appointments for like the year scheduled so I just left it, but I might adjust them today because I'm getting new extensions today. I'm so excited because I've had these for like the year scheduled, so I just left it, but I might adjust them today because I'm getting new extensions today. I'm so excited because I've had these for like two years. I'm surprised that they still look pretty good. They look good. I'm like that's not bad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, good investment yeah, good investment if it's not ten thousand dollars, yeah, probably. Yeah, then it better last longer than that yeah, I see some of these extensions and I'm just like god damn, why does it cost so much?
Speaker 1:yeah I.
Speaker 2:You know I'm spoiled though you know I don't have to pay for it. I know it's.
Speaker 1:I think it's hard when you're in the industry that yeah like. You would, yeah like.
Speaker 2:John literally does it for free, right, yeah. So I'm just like I mean I still have to pay for the hair, but even then I'm getting it at cost. Right, right yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry about that, sorry, wait, okay, I was trying to think if there was any other hobbies I tried last year. I think that that was it. I think there was, like there was hiking watercolor pickleball line dancing.
Speaker 2:What about the other stupid ones that you so you like to go to um?
Speaker 1:what are the cowboy places? What are they called? What? Oh, dude ranches.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, that's not a hobby, but okay, I guess it's a hobby horseback riding, yeah and you were like, oh, I guess it's not really a hobby, it's like something you do. But you went to a couple of them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we went to three different. Every year my family would go to a different dude ranch in the summer.
Speaker 2:Sounds so fun.
Speaker 1:It's just so something my family would do. So I guess when my mom was young she used to do that. Yeah, my grandparents took them to dude ranches, and so we actually went. One of them was the one that she went to before. Yeah, they grandparents took them to dude ranches and so we actually went. One of them was the one that she went to before. Yeah, they went to Cute, and my grandma it was a little bit sad because so I really liked this dude ranch. It was in California actually. Oh, it was like three hours from here, three hours north, I can't remember like where, but it was like it was like more of. I feel like, when you think of it, it's like a westerny looking, which they're all in different types of places. This one was like in the redwoods, and so I feel like it was like a different vibe. There was like a little lake and, um, they had like it was like more modern, they had like a really cool bar and I like it yeah.
Speaker 1:So it was really fun, but I I felt bad. My grandma was like really excited because it was like, oh, we're going back to this one. I took know my kids when they were little and I'm so excited to go back and we went and although she like she really liked the place, the food was not good and they just got a new chef and he's like I want to say he was like 25. He was really young and he thought he was just a hot shot. He thought he was like 25, he was really young and he thought he was just a hot shot. He thought he was so good. So he made this like super fancy. Like if I'm going to a dude ranch, I just want to eat some like hot dogs, cowboy nachos yeah, just, can we keep it? It's just simple food. Also, you eat like in like a little. It's basically like a cafeteria. Yeah, yeah, it just doesn't need to be. And he would try to have like such a fancy like menu and like trying to have all the just like, just stuff. That's like who who's eating this, like people are just bringing their kids and stuff here and you're just like serving fucking fried fennel over couscous. I don't know if that's a thing, but what I hate couscous it's. So I don't want that. I don't want these little balls. It was just like I don't know, it was just really weird. And then if you just try to order something regular, it's like they were always out of everything.
Speaker 1:So we get halfway through the week and my grandma's done, she's so mad about it. So she but also my grandma doesn't get mad like she doesn't like yell or she wouldn't like whatever. But so she goes over and she's in a wheelchair at this time. So she goes over and she's like, excuse me. And she's like um, I would like to speak with the chef, oh no. So he comes out and she's like I, I wanted to talk to you about your, your menu. And he you could see it on his face he was so excited like he thought oh yeah, this lady's gonna tell me she loves it.
Speaker 1:The poor guy too he, even because she's in a, was so excited like he thought oh yeah, this lady's gonna tell me she loves it. The poor guy too he, even because she's in a wheelchair. So he like knelt down to talk to her, which I thought was really nice of him. She just lays into him for a while and was just telling him like how disappointed she was and how this, like you know, I understand that, like you know, this is your like life's work or whatever, and you're chef, but I think you need to like serve appropriate things for the venues that you're at.
Speaker 1:And she's telling him all this stuff, like just completely tearing him apart for this menu, and I was like, oh no, but at least it was. You know, she, she got to say what she wanted to say, so it was fine. And then to to find out, a lot of people complained, so that was the only thing about that one that we didn't like. But anyway, that one was really cool and that one had like e-bikes, like it had like some different stuff, that's probably why they were trying to do the food differently.
Speaker 1:Well, I think there was like a change in management and so that's why the whole thing, but it was a really like the. The cabins were really cute, like decorated really cute and there was like a little stream going through. It was just like so much fun. So I really like going to dude ranches and you mostly do horseback riding when you're there.
Speaker 2:I love going on like trail rides and uh, yeah, I haven't been horseback riding, uh, drew, and my kids say pretty much like your mom, you're gonna it.
Speaker 1:I don't think you would like it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and Drew's, like you're going to be sore too.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so cause they, you know, my kids and Drew, they're like Montana kids and so they've done that always horseback, riding the ranches, all that kind of stuff and I'm just like, yeah, I guess, maybe it's probably not my thing.
Speaker 1:I just can't imagine that you would have a fun time doing that. I don't know, it just doesn't seem like you would.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, I've been to Montana once. I think I went one time this whole time, you know, because my mother-in-law lives there. And this whole time I went there and I've been there one time and it's just not for me.
Speaker 1:I went there one time too, and I didn't like it at all.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just really. I mean, I enjoy the part where like we're hanging out with our family and like all that kind of stuff and like we floated the river and like yeah that's cool Like.
Speaker 2:I like that. You know, you're just like drinking beers floating the river. I think that kind of stuff is fun, but you know, the rest of it is just like eh, I don't. We did drive, so we drove fucking 18 hours out there. Oh thanks, because it was during cobin when we went. I didn't go to my mother-in-law's until all the way until covid. Oh no, no, I went before, then drew and I drove, we went to utah and we went to these in utah.
Speaker 2:You know, I don't know if people know this, but they have like themed uh, bed and breakfasts a lot of them, and so we had went out there and drew and I stayed in utah for one night and then we drove to Montana after and we stay in this weird Fiji room. They walk in and it has like sand and there's like a deck and there's like an aquarium underneath the deck. What, yeah, it's like off the hook.
Speaker 1:That's weird.
Speaker 2:And I remember this was the first time I was in Utah and I walked in and we were at some place and then, you know, we had just drove 12 hours and the lady's like okay, here's your menu, blah blah, and I was like you don't serve alcohol here. And she was like oh, we do, that's a separate menu. Did you want me to bring it? And I was like please, like, I'll fucking leave if you're not gonna give me a drink.
Speaker 1:I've been in the car for 12 hours, yeah please.
Speaker 2:And everyone was just staring at us the whole time like it's just. It's like such a weird place yeah yeah, yeah, it is, it is.
Speaker 1:I was like I gotta get out of here now, you know, and the alcohol levels that they serve is a lot lower yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And so that was the first year we went to montana. But they have some really great things. Like we went for fourth of july and we went to the rodeo and then like the fireworks are amazing and shit like that, like and and the fact that you can just buy hella fireworks and just do them, you know, every single night and stuff like that, it's pretty dope. But yeah, it's just not really. It's not really the place for me yeah, it's not like you're like.
Speaker 1:Oh, I would love to do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just love to go to montana, even though people love it, they think it's so pretty and all this stuff, it's just like, yeah, I don't really need to be in big timber montana no, no, no, no no I don't think so yeah yeah, I don't know, I just yeah, I do really like horseback riding.
Speaker 1:I wish there was. I mean, we have a lot of like horseback riding things here, but it's not we do have a lot we do.
Speaker 1:I mean, this is called cow town, so you would think there's some kind of like you know I just don't really like, like I said, I really don't like to go on trail rides and at these dude ranches they have have like really pretty trail rides and like things you can really you can see. I don't know. Yeah, it's more scenic when here. What are you going to look at the freeway?
Speaker 2:Yeah. So, I know.
Speaker 1:It's not. It's not. I don't do it here because I'm like I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But yeah, but um, what about your mountain biking, jesus? So I tried mountain biking. Okay, let's hear it. I tried mountain biking in Alaska and it was really interesting. I went with my aunt who actually, like she I don't know that she does it anymore, but she's ride bikes a lot so she's like are you sure you're going to be able to do this? And I'm like, yeah, it says like suitable for all levels. Like Jesus, I'm not like, yeah, a slug, I can ride a bike.
Speaker 1:So we get on and we're doing this whole bike ride and it was, it was okay for like half of it and then it gets into really like a mountain biking, and I was like this is tough and I was surprised, like I was shocked at how much I was struggling, especially considering I'm shocked at how much I was struggling, especially considering I'm looking at the other people in our group and I'm like these people, these people look way more out of shape than me and they don't seem like they're struggling as much as I am. So I was like I don't know what I'm doing, I don't, I don't like I have to switch the gears, I have to do all this stuff, and I was kind of like, okay, I wish I knew more what I was doing here, but it was still really cool. And then we um went up to, we biked up to a, like you could see, a. What's it called this? A?
Speaker 1:waterfall no, no what's this?
Speaker 2:it's in.
Speaker 1:Alaska. It's what iceberg oh iceberg um. I didn't know this is the glacier.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, I didn't know that was the sign for iceberg. This is't know. This is the sign of iceberg the glacier. Yeah yeah, I didn't know that was the sign for iceberg the wave.
Speaker 1:This is the sign language for iceberg. Yeah, I'm just kidding, I don't think so, it's not. And then I really like doing, like just bike riding I wouldn't call it mountain biking in Tahoe Like we used to go to Tahoe every Memorial Day weekend and Like when we used to go to Tahoe every Memorial Day weekend and then we would rent bikes and then just bike around and just like biking through the trees and stuff, but it's mostly like flat.
Speaker 1:It's not that crazy. I like doing that. And then the one time that I decided I don't like bike riding is we were at a dude ranch in Arizona. The dude ranches so we went to one in Arizona. It was in the desert, obviously, and we're all out there, so it's like a big group. So we're out there biking and I'm, you know, trailing behind at the end and they didn't have a guide at like. They only had one guide on this trip and there was probably I want to say there's probably like 15 to 20 people in this group and there's only one guide in the very front like leading the way. I'm like why don't you have someone in the back? It was weird. But anyway, so we're taking out and we're going through the desert and he's going kind of fast and it's a little bit difficult because when you're bike riding through the desert and you're doing a lot of turns, you have to be careful because if you fall off you're gonna fall on a cactus, so you can't just like fuck around. I don't really like this.
Speaker 1:I know it seemed a little dangerous, so but 15 other people were fine with it yeah, I know, and our kids were there and they were fine, obviously like they didn't give a shit.
Speaker 1:So I know so we're going and then I we kind of get like further and further and further back.
Speaker 1:I'm trailing and my husband at the time he was like riding behind me because he was like scared I was gonna fall or something and he wouldn't see me, and so he was like I'll go behind you and then just make sure you don't die, or whatever.
Speaker 1:So we keep getting further and further from the group and then the group like takes off, like I can't, we can't see them anymore, like we can't, we can't see them anymore. And my husband had like I was like you can go, it's fine, like you can go ahead of me, we can't see them anymore. Like we can't see them anymore. And my husband had like I was like you can go, it's fine, like you can go ahead of me, whatever. So he goes, and then I don't know if he just didn't see where I was either and there's points where there's like forks in the road and that's where I got lost. So I don't know where I lost them or how long I was just riding along the wrong way you had to get search and rescue out to get you yeah, you couldn't.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's not like there's no service, so I couldn't call anyone on my phone. It was like 110 degrees and I'm just out in the fucking desert and I'm like thinking this is why you need a guide at the end, so that people don't get lost like this oh my god, can you like, why are you even? And so anyway, the guide like comes, like he finally finds me, because I was like I'm just gonna sit, I'm just gonna stay right here you just sat there well, I know I went back.
Speaker 1:I started to go back, but then I was like I don't know if I'm getting further, like then I didn't know like which direction I was even, because it was a desert. There's no mountains, like you know. You like when you're somewhere and you could see mountains and you go, okay, I know I was going towards it or away, like I had no clue, and so I'm like I'm just going to fucking stay here for a little bit. So he came back and found me and he was just like kind of like what the fuck? And I'm like what the fuck to you, like what the hell, you just let me get lost, or whatever. So, anyway, so we go back and then we ride back towards the group and, you know, the whole group had to just sit there and wait because, again, there's no other guy you just write up like hi hey guys, sorry about that, sorry to ruin them.
Speaker 1:You know your bike ride here. It was so fucking embarrassing I bet I wanted to die. I would literally just crawl in one of the holes there and die yeah, I should have, because then what happened next was we're, we're riding over these like ramps, okay, but not ramps, yeah, little bumps, you know. So we're going and he's like you guys want to go on like a little more advanced trail. And of course everyone's like yeah, and I'm like sure I mean what. I can't be the only one who says no here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, can you come back around and get me? Is it an option? Can you go get the trucks and come pick me?
Speaker 1:up, go get the wagon, the wagon the wagon, the fucking wagon's out there for you so we're going on these ramps and then they start going kind of fast. So I go over a little ramp and as I come down my front tire pops on my. I'm done with my. This is like a movie, this is my fat ass broke the fucking tire. Yeah, it just popped and I was like I'm, I'm never riding a bike, ever the fuck again yeah, I literally never they had to radio to the place to get someone to drive a truck.
Speaker 1:This guy had to drive the truck and then come put, throw my bike in the back and get me in the truck and then drive me back jesus, you know, when we went to scottsdale we did a jeep tour.
Speaker 2:I think that would be better. We did a jeep tour. They just wrote us out there which I forgot my sunglasses, so my lashes were going. Oh god, oh god, yeah, it was awful and I was like this and I just had to keep going like this because they were getting in my eye and stuff and I was like oh yeah, they're flying so windy and you know we're out there with the cactuses and the guy was silly and he, the little guy, he was so cute not the little guy he made us a prickly pear margaritas.
Speaker 2:Oh, so good like me and my mother-in-law, we've been perfecting this recipe and I was like that is so fucking sweet like yeah that kind of shit. I just love you and your mother-in-law are just like doing this in the kitchen making these batches for your she's like I'm gonna take it to work you know, for the girls oh my god, that's the sweetest little I love that.
Speaker 1:I just love that.
Speaker 2:Um loves this job, but yeah the desert out there is pretty cool, right?
Speaker 1:yeah, I don't want to get stuck out there no, that was really bad and it was seriously so embarrassing. But also, at the same time, like I get in the truck and like this fool's got like the AC blasting he brought me water, yeah and then we're just driving past and I'm seeing all these idiots just riding their bikes out there in the 110 degrees.
Speaker 2:I think you need to know when to say no, like. So when we were in Paso, everyone's like, okay, well, we could walk, it's a 19-minute walk, right, and something we'd probably walk, or whatever, yeah, and I was like, no, I'm, I'm gonna get an uber. And then jared was like, oh, okay, well, maybe we should just walk, or whatever, and I go you can walk, I'm getting uber. Yeah, whatever you want, that's fine, but I'm not. It's like I'm gonna fuck up like my whole thing yeah, the makeup.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, especially for stuff like that, if I'm somewhere where I got cute, stop doing stuff that like this yeah I was just trying my best, I was really trying and I take a stance.
Speaker 1:I'm not actually gonna do the mountain biking and I really wanted to, like I really wanted to do it and in my head it was gonna be like Tahoe, yeah, oh yeah, it'll just be this, like through the desert, like I thought it would just be flat because it's a desert. But but really there was all these turns, a lot of turns, and I was like, oh my God, I just could see it now. I thought my tire would slide out from under me and I would go face first into a cactus.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the thing is that you keep saying like, oh, you know, I don't really do like sports stuff, and then you're doing like all the you're trying to do all these physical things. I try really, I just feel like it's like I just want to try things. Yeah, I mean, I want to try things too.
Speaker 1:but and then I go, maybe I don't, maybe I'm not as bad as I used to be, and then I'm like, no, you are you're you're not good at this stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, I really want to go snowboarding. So here's the thing, a couple of things. I uh snowboarding. So here's the thing, a couple of things. I uh never did really a lot of physical things because I feel like, uh, I work with my hands and I, like, I can't break my hands, I can't break my legs, so I, you know, it's always been that kind of thing for me. So I knew, like, I can't really do snowboarding, I can't. And so now I'm like, ah, maybe I want to go one time, yeah, yeah, because I mean, if I break my hand or something, it wouldn't be as bad as, like, if I, like, was doing hair. You know?
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2:Um, so I still haven't gone. But that being said, yeah, my, uh, my brothers go a lot. And so sometimes I'm like can you just pick me and Rihanna up and we can just go, or whatever? And they're like yeah, you just have to tell me. And I just never have done that. So I'm going to go next year, I've decided. Okay, but I'm not really going to snowboard, I'm just going to hang out with Rihanna, probably.
Speaker 1:Well, also like we could take a lesson, because that's what I want to do.
Speaker 2:I want to why don't you and Rihanna just take a lesson? You have to decide like so. One of my brother's skis, one of them snowboard.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:So he's like just decide what you want to do and then you can go or whatever, and uh risk is she stays, like on the little slopes, you know and she does um the skiing. So I can stay there and I'll probably just like be where Rihanna is, but drew's like I don't want to do it, so drew's out, which I kind of hate doing things without him yeah, of course I just really, I really need him to take care of me really you guys like spend time together, so it would be more fun yeah.
Speaker 2:So I'm like damn, I'm just gonna leave the whole day on sunday and then you're not gonna come with me or anything. Can you just like come up and hang out? Yeah, he's like no, I don't want to fucking drive for two hours just to hang out, I know which. Like yeah, I mean I get it does suck.
Speaker 1:yeah, because when we went up to tahoe a few months ago, me and bentley yeah, so he could snowboard um, yeah, it's like I was just chilling in the, which I actually like I mean, I was just chilling in the lodge and I had my laptop, I had my book and I was just reading the whole day, which was totally fine, but I could also see why that would be annoying. Yeah, what, what are you going to do? I know I really want to take a lesson.
Speaker 1:I really want to go and just like, take a lesson and just try it. I know I'm going to be awful Mm-hmm. You know who snowboards a lot, or did Lindsay Mm-hmm? And so they snowboard a lot and go to Tahoe all the time.
Speaker 2:My brothers have passes, so they go like literally almost every weekend. Yeah, and I'm like can I just go with you guys?
Speaker 1:and I've we've gone to the snow, but not really snowboarded. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you know kind of like so we're gonna. So I, for a little while there, like a couple years ago, I had the in in my head. I'm like I'm just gonna become this like badass, like skateboarder oh did you fall?
Speaker 1:yeah, I tried it one time, fell right off and I was like you know, I don't think I want to be this badass skateboarder. Oh, did you fall? Yeah, I tried it one time, fell right off and I was like you know, I don't think I want to be this badass skateboarder. I could just be badass without the skateboard yeah, you know.
Speaker 2:So I really like skating. I can't roller skating. Yeah, yeah, um, I keep my skates in my car, just in case there's a skating event at any time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can't with you with your skates in the trunk all the time. Yeah, I, just in case you need them in a case of emergency, it will. If anything happens, you could just throw your skates. I gotta be rolling out, roll out here we go.
Speaker 2:You know, I'll probably. You know, so I like skating, you know, I kind of got back into it.
Speaker 2:So you know, I mean, I was a rollerblade kid and I did ice skating when we were younger too a lot um, and then when to me I had a really bad breakup, I bought her some skates and then I was like, but I mean we always took the kids like to roller rinks or whatever when they were younger. But I was like maybe you should do this as a hobby and then we also would go at at golden gate park they have an outdoor rink which is really fun it's hell fun. They play music. There's people out there like teaching you how to skate or I want to go to that tricks.
Speaker 1:Is it when? Is it open? It's like all the time, or is it just in the summer?
Speaker 2:I think it's open all the time, and then they have kind of like a hill there, so there's grass and you just like do a picnic there, and then you just like skate.
Speaker 2:It's really cute. They've been doing it for a long time, like since the 90s, like there's these guys that are out there just doing it or whatever. So that was really fun that we we've done that. And then the kids and us we would go to the tennis uh courts on alamo at night, like at eight or nine o'clock when the lights went off, and we would just skate around the tennis courts together yeah, on and stuff, because there's not really any roller rinks around here no, there's not because they had the one in Fairfield and they had to burn that shit down because it got really dangerous ghetto, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:I know when I wanted to go roller skating, bentley and I had to drive to camera where we drove, but it was like 45 minutes away because they don't have the one on base anymore.
Speaker 2:Huh no yeah, I mean, that's where I used to skate. A lot is the one.
Speaker 1:I don't think they've had one on base in a long time. I don't think even when I was living on base that they had one. That was 13 years ago. It's been gone for a while. It's like when you were a kid or you were teenagers, when you were skating there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean in middle school I skated there. I think they still had it when I was in high school, so early 2000s.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, so it was he.
Speaker 2:Hmm, yeah, I don't yeah so, and it was hella fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:It was really, really fun. So the skating thing is like a good little hobby. You know, I played soccer for a little bit. It was really weird. We did co-ed soccer. Oh right, yeah, yeah, yeah, with Joel and Sean, and they wanted to do it, and then we did it and it is a lot of work.
Speaker 1:I mean, you're running just running the whole time, yeah which I think was good for me.
Speaker 2:But, man, I sucked because I don't, don't get, don't give me the ball, don't give me the ball as soon as you get the ball you got to kick it somewhere else. Yeah, I don't want it.
Speaker 2:Um, but we would go out, there would be drunk, we would have memos like if we had games at one, we would at 11, we 11, we would like have Mimos and we'd be like, okay, let's go to the game. No, and Joel would drive us because he wouldn't drink, and we'd all be out there fucking rolling around and flopping around. It's like that's so fun, hella, fucking fun. So you know, we did the soccer thing for a little bit and that was good. You know a little sports, I just yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't know, sports in general is just really not my thing. Um so I'm not very good at sports I never have been but I do really want to. I really want to do one of those like sexy dance classes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, everyone wants to do that. So I told Drew, we're going to do this. And he goes man, you're going to have a really tough time with that. Why? Why do you say that that? Because he's like you can't like move your butt, that like you can't really twerk, you know. And I was like maybe they're gonna teach you. And he knows too. Like I get really embarrassed, sorry, like I get secondhand embarrassment too, and so I'm just like yeah, I know you do I just think like a lot of things are embarrassing yeah, I know
Speaker 1:so I'm just like I think if we go, we have to like take shots yeah, and I think that, like I.
Speaker 2:Well, first of all, let's talk about it, so you do the class and then at the end they record you your performance. This is it's optional it's. I know yeah, yeah, but I'm like as for, as a 40 year old, I probably should not be doing a dance performance. Why? That just seems like something you don't do, I think, unless like you've been doing this for years or something. I mean, I just am like.
Speaker 1:I think in my head I think the opposite. I think now, at 37, I feel way more confident doing stuff like that. If you had asked me when I was like 22 to do some shit like that, I wouldn't even go to the class. I would have been like there's no fucking way. I would have been too embarrassed to even like do the class, like learn the dance, so, and I think it's like you don't have to be good too. No, no, no, you just do it for fun, just so fun, yeah you just do it for fun.
Speaker 2:I don't know, I also I'm like one of those people where, like, I want to do like a good job, but then I'm like I can't take this too seriously.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So it's just like there's this want to do a good job, but then I'm like this too embarrassing.
Speaker 1:I know what you mean. I know what you mean, so it's like this weird line yeah yeah for me, and so I'm just like.
Speaker 2:I mean I'll go just like the thing when we're gonna go line dancing or whatever, I'll go have fun. You know it's fine. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm not gonna sit in my room and do my youtube dances come on I mean, I would do something like that so that I would know the dances when I got out there right I do, you know, but in the moment I'm just like whatever, if my foot goes this way instead of this way, it's okay, yeah, yeah, it's okay if you went right instead of left and you turned around the wrong way they're not gonna tell you to leave you don't just go, you're off, you're off the floor.
Speaker 1:You're off the floor. Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's a competition. They come, they tap you on the shoulder when you're you're out, get out yeah, it's not that serious.
Speaker 2:So what you turn around the other way, who cares?
Speaker 1:gives a fuck.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you actually could just stand out there and do any type of dance that you want I actually would like to do pole dancing oh my god, it's so scary to me it seems scary, but because it's like that type of thing where you do have to be serious about it because it could be like a dangerous and, like you're like trying to physically do these things, I feel like I I'm not trying to be sexy, it's more like a sport to me.
Speaker 1:Well, I was going to say I'm trying to do acrobat? Yeah, I was going to say I feel like, for that seems like something you would be good at, because it's like you need to be strong to do that, and so it is more of like a you're like challenging your strength doing that it's like a workout, more like if you just wanted to like be good at pilates right so in it, even though it's like sexy, but it's also just like, or it could be embarrassing I mean, you might just fucking fall on your head.
Speaker 2:Good Upside down.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So maybe I don't want to do that too, I mean. So I think like there's so many like sports and like physical hobbies, obviously that we've tried, but like non-physical stuff I mean I guess we talked about the watercolor but it's interesting. Like you said, I'm not really like a sport or like a physical activity type of person, but I feel like the majority of the sports I mean sports hobbies that I've been trying to do are sporty, sporty, but I just yeah, I mean obviously reading is a hobby, that and we do that. We have book club and stuff like my lifestyle.
Speaker 2:No, it's not considered a hobby anymore. It's my lifestyle opening my eyes up to for day.
Speaker 1:It's the same thing with reading. It's the same as breathing, yeah.
Speaker 2:You better open that fucking Kindle up right now.
Speaker 1:Well, and crafts? You love crafts. I mean, I like crafts too, but I feel like you're really good at them and you're good at coming up with ideas.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I kind of stepped away from the crafts a little bit. I can't bring one more thing in my house. My husband is literally gonna kill me. Um, he's pretty upset with me right now. Stuff's getting a little messy and so he's just like oh, you know you need to organize it like you know, I just don't have the brain power right now, after michael I know think about it.
Speaker 2:So you know, good thing to me is home because she helps me out a little bit. Yeah, um, but the craft thing I love. I do love crafts because you could just sit there and do tedious work and just like you don't even think about you, just have the show on and you're just like doing this thing. You know where I made that beanie with all the jewels on it?
Speaker 2:yeah it took me fucking hours but I was just sitting there, you know, watching whatever, and just sewing these little. Uh, what were they like? Like little jewels jewels, yeah, jewels um and it's so cute. I'm just like I don't want to do this anymore. That's, the problem with the crafts is like I'm like okay, I want to do it, or I want to give it to my friends, or I want.
Speaker 2:I always have this idea I could sell this yeah, and then I, right after I'm done with it, I like it and people say they like it and I go, okay, let me see if I can sell it. And I go, no, it just takes too long to do this, too tedious. I don't want to have any of these pressures to like have any orders or anything like that. I'm not doing that, fuck you.
Speaker 1:Well, I think it's super. I think a lot of us do that, A lot of like creatives. It's like you have these things that you really like in their hobbies and then it starts turning into this like way for you to make an income and then it kind of starts to like take some fun out of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's not fun anymore, so I'm just like I can't turn my hobbies into businesses. Yeah, that it, just it's too much, and then I lose interest in it too, quickly Like so I just got to move on to the next thing. Like I can't do this.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So I mean, you know there's a lot of things are doing like the sourdough thing right now.
Speaker 2:They love it. I don't want to. I don't want to do any hobbies that are cooking or baking, I don't mind it, but the sourdough thing is just like such a long process. I did it one time during covid, I made some or whatever. But I mean I saw this video the other day where this lady, she, her friend, was like hey, can you come out to dinner? And she was like I can't because I gotta like knead my dough absolutely not and so she was like, just come on.
Speaker 2:She was like, all right, fine, I'll bring it with me. So she like it's a video for like coming out of her house with her bowl and covered and she brings it and then she's in the booth by a certain time doing all this time and stuff that's crazy and you know, though, I think it's a cool hobby, especially if it's like your friends doing it. You like making specialized butter, and you can give it to your friends and you can decorate them, and all that stuff.
Speaker 2:Like there's a I feel like and there's such like a TikTok thing.
Speaker 1:I mean on YouTube too.
Speaker 2:It's like all this sourdough stuff and so it's like a little community.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, just know, the plants were like a community thing right, especially you're like taking care of these little babies and like doing all these.
Speaker 2:You have plants. I had a ton of plants. Yeah, they have all since died, not because I didn't take care of them. I took such good care of them during covid and then, when life got back, it was like okay, like I just don't even have the time or energy to remember to like water these plants you know, and so.
Speaker 2:But I do remember there was just like everyone was buying all these plants and it was so beautiful and like all these things and I I remember loving it so much and being so excited when there's like a little baby on it, it's growing and stuff, and now I'm just like I can't even. I want them. I want them all my house and I wish I just had someone that came and just watered maybe I should have my assistant do it like.
Speaker 2:I can get these plants and then come over water my plants. For me, yep, um, because I just need something that you just like. Leave it and don't think about it.
Speaker 1:I just buy fake plants because I can't be bothered.
Speaker 2:I know I just really do love the plants.
Speaker 1:I know the house well and I think it bringing it like, brings the outdoor inside.
Speaker 2:It gives like a freshness to like your house organic looks pretty in the house, you know, and I really do like it. But yeah, I really do need to just have christy just come water them like. We just have to add it to her task list. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know for sure what's another?
Speaker 1:what other? Is it okay? But oh, I got one that we tried that we did not like.
Speaker 2:we've talked about this a lot, yeah, so we'll just do a quick we don't like pottery, we want to like pottery, so I think that we could do like the clay, that you mold things, because I've seen it where they just I want to make this charcuterie dish that I've seen, okay, and it's kind of abstract. They roll it out like big, almost like you're rolling out Like when you do cinnamon rolls it's like wide and just kind of like misshaped, and then they put something underneath it and then they kind of like put little pockets in it a little bit like and so it's like this big old platter that you can have like not really dips, but like you can put like maybe like some almonds, or you have like little cheeses and like all stuff, and then you just leave it and it's like that air drying one, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I think that we could do something like that and then you could like write cute stuff on it and then you know but that could be a pottery wheel for us throwing the clay is not for us.
Speaker 1:We have tried. Here's the.
Speaker 2:I think it would be. Maybe it's better if our hair is up in a ponytail. We have a jumpsuit on, no nails on, and we just really went for it.
Speaker 1:I could do it today. I have no nails on right now.
Speaker 2:I think that we need to try that one more time.
Speaker 1:I'll give it one more. Here's the thing that I think about hobbies too. If it's something you want to try and you try it one time and you're like I don't think I really like that, I would urge people to give it three times.
Speaker 2:Oh, three, three times, so how many did we do?
Speaker 1:We did two.
Speaker 2:I've done three.
Speaker 1:You've done three. We did the San Francisco one and then the Sacramento one together.
Speaker 2:The Sacramento one was so much better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and they had a lot of space to do the um, what you're talking about?
Speaker 2:yeah, so that you know we could just do that here. You could just buy that from michael okay, let's do it and I think it would be so fun. It would just be like oh, we'll make a little charcuterie plates because, remember my clay thing. I don't think I ever showed anyone, but it's like a eternal note and yes, it looks like a no.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we talked about it like, right on, I just took a card drew, wrote on before, and it's so pretty and I love it and I use it just like as a little jewelry dish and it's so fucking cute, um, but I think we could make stuff like that. Yeah, that place does classes to to make that, um, but it's in la. So you know, we just have to figure that's the thing too is like I feel like our hobbies here and like our crafts and stuff.
Speaker 2:It's like we have to make it up on our own because we live in like a small town, like, yeah, we can go to san francisco, but god, I don't want to make a whole fucking day, I gotta drive.
Speaker 2:I just want to do it for like an hour or something like. One of the hobbies that I really really want to get into is they have, like adult gymnastics and adult ice skating, where you really learn, oh yeah, yeah, where you really learn how to do that stuff and I did gymnastics when I was younger. Same and I thought it was so fucking fun. Yeah, and so if, like, I could just go and, like they're going to teach me how to like tumble or like to do cartwheels, on the balance beam or, like you know, do like the rings and stuff, like as an adult.
Speaker 2:But I think that would be like a fun physical thing because I really enjoy it.
Speaker 1:I think it's so fun, we can get matching leotards.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the little socks and everything right.
Speaker 1:Get the chalk on your hands for the bars. Woo Yep.
Speaker 2:And I think that's so fun and it's just like we don't have that here.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And I would love it. Or even to ice skate. I mean, I can ice skate, but like I want to do a twirl.
Speaker 1:I don't like ice skating and I don't really want to be good at it. Yeah, I don't really enjoy ice skating. I'll be honest I love it. I would rather roller skate. I don't like ice yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1:So I just wish like we had, like more things I know and it's and it sounds, I know, and it sounds like kind of spoiled because, it's like you know, we literally are in the middle of napa, sacramento and san francisco. And it sounds like kind of spoiled because it's like you know, we literally are in the middle of Napa, sacramento and San Francisco and it's like we could drive to any of those places and do all that stuff, but those places might as well be four hours away for me.
Speaker 1:I know Because, like you said, you have to make a day of it, especially if you're going into the city.
Speaker 2:Jesus, yeah, it's a two-hour drive in and a two-hour drive out and then, yeah, extra time parking and figuring all that shit, and then you might as well have lunch. So now you're spending, you know, four hundred dollars on a day like just to do gymnastics.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I do wish we had some and I wish it was like you could, I could find an adult gymnastics place out here that like, oh, it's like tuesday nights I'm doing, you know, just like your pilates class, right, like that's what I'm thinking, like I would, because I see it like in the cities that they have it like I want to. Okay, I'm going to tumbling. You know how did that be so cute? Oh, mom, that tumbling on tuesday night. You know like that's so funny you know, I want to do that.
Speaker 2:Those are like the physical things, but it's just like we don't have those damn hobbies here.
Speaker 1:I know, can someone make a class for us?
Speaker 2:yeah, we have to do it because there is a gymnastics place here from the through the city. Yeah, could they just have teach adults some fun stuff all right, we're starting a hobby, hobby group we just rent it out for an hour hose, hobby hose, that's what we're gonna call it.
Speaker 1:Okay, every couple weeks we just try a different one. You gotta try it three times.
Speaker 2:We do it three times and then we switch, because you know they do have the classes where I mean, I know we could find like a wheel throwing place, but I have seen the places where they will bring the wheels to you okay. So I guess, yeah, we just have to do a hobby club here at pink door, that's our next.
Speaker 2:well, I mean, we do have so much free time that we could definitely fit that in If we could just throw these ideas to someone and then they could just set it up for us, like okay, here's all these, here's my expectations for this thing. Set it all up, boom Done.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:I'll be there on Wednesday night, perfect.
Speaker 1:Well, it doesn't work that way. I don't think so, I mean, unless we can clone ourselves. Right yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, if I could have two of me, God damn I would be so, so.
Speaker 1:Killing it. I would venture to say that we are killing it.
Speaker 2:We are, but I can only imagine the things that we could do if there was two.
Speaker 1:Well, it just wouldn't be fair. It just there can't be fair. You just there can't be. Drew would have the best fucking wife.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's so nice, if you'd even think of that. Just a clean house. And you know, yesterday he just was like he asked me to get wine and then I'll. He always wants to get it from fucking total wine. I hate going to that place. It's like going to walmart to me, right like I just the lines suck you know, and it's just like huge and I just don't really know what wines to get all this shit.
Speaker 2:And so, um, I, he was, I was already almost there and he's like, well, I'll go, because I have to get like lotion and I have to get shaving cream and all that stuff. And then I was like, well, I'm already here. I was.
Speaker 2:I can go to the store and he's like you're spoiling me. And I was like sure, sure, yeah, yeah, I mean I'll just go to the other store too. I'm already out, You're at home working out, it's fine, it's not a big deal. But I mean, hmm well, I don't think that that's gonna happen in our lifetime, so maybe I should get up earlier in the day and do all those other things.
Speaker 1:Well, we'll put it on our to-do list, yeah more cleaning, more cooking no, well, I think there's so many.
Speaker 1:I mean, there's just so many, so many options for hobbies that people can try, and there's just also so many resources now to even find ideas for hobbies, even just like going on tiktok or going on pinterest or going whatever, and you can just try stuff either by yourself or just with like one friend or like look for groups that are yeah, and all those meetup groups and stuff they have like, where it's just like a walking group.
Speaker 1:Okay, so now your hobby's walking also maybe you meet people there and then you talk to them about, like, what their other hobbies are and then you end up finding friends to do the other like you could utilize those to like just expand your network a little bit and then find more stuff to do, yeah, yeah. So, like I said, I would encourage people to try different hobbies. I mean, like I said, last year I tried to do like a once every month try a different one, which that was kind of a lot. I probably should have said like every other month.
Speaker 1:This year. I didn't even bother saying that, I was just like we'll see. We'll see if I have any hobbies this year.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't really have any hobbies right now.
Speaker 1:Also I feel like this year. It's like I'm more like just wanting to expand on the ones I did last year, like I want to keep doing line dancing, and that was kind of the point.
Speaker 2:It was like I don't really want to just do it for like To find out which ones you enjoy. Yeah, what?
Speaker 1:things do I like, and then what things are, just like. It was more like a novelty, like, oh okay, I did that thing for a to do that anymore there's some stuff I don't want to do anymore a lot of things I don't want to do anymore yeah, but we have to keep doing it we're gonna try our best.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, I would love to hear other people's ideas for hobbies. Now I kind of want to like look up some ideas and I want to get I'm going to go down a hobby, a hobby hole she has to do like, do a bunch of research, and she's like let's do these things and then I'm planning it out.
Speaker 2:I'm not doing any of these things I'm not doing. I'm gonna drag you. I'm gonna drag you there.
