What happens when two friends barely see each other for months?
We've returned for Season 3 after months apart, with both of us navigating wildly different paths from bodybuilding competitions to wedding preparations. Our separate journeys finally converge as we catch up on everything we've missed.
• Multiple trips to Florida for cheer competitions where both kids performed well and hit "zero deduction" routines
• Intense bodybuilding prep including doing cardio while watching the kids playing in the pool
• Day-of show nutrition strategies involving bags of rice, rice cakes, pancakes and almond butter
• Palm Springs bachelorette weekend coinciding with Stagecoach festival, requiring creative transportation solutions
• Being "kicked out" by another rheumatologist despite ongoing health issues and suspected Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
• Both participating in ketamine therapy for mental health (more details in next week's episode)
• Adjusting to major life changes including quitting jobs and children becoming high school seniors
• Summer plans including hiking and spending more time together
Stay tuned for next week's episode where we'll discuss our experiences with ketamine therapy!

hello hello, welcome back season three, season three we are here.
Speaker 2:It has been a long time. It's been like how long has it been?
Speaker 1:two weeks, two weeks, months, months since we've seen each other, oh okay, um, at least there's been a new episode three weeks, four weeks three weeks since there's been a new episode. It's been longer no I think well, because we we didn't see each other for like six weeks.
Speaker 2:Florida, I got, I put him up there. It wasn't, it was just recently. So we're like three, we're like two weeks. I think we're like two weeks behind.
Speaker 1:I feel like we're more than that I don't know.
Speaker 2:Anyways, we're here, we're back.
Speaker 1:We didn't see each other for a long time, though because, yeah, a very long time yeah. Because we both had so much shit going on.
Speaker 2:Yes, and I greeted you today.
Speaker 1:You greeted me, yes.
Speaker 2:Like hi, hi, it's a vibe, yeah, that's a vibe? Yes, If you listen to next week episode.
Speaker 1:You're going to preemptively tell them the future. I can't even talk. Because, I had a ketamine infusion earlier.
Speaker 2:Yes, and just I mean still coming out of the residual effects of it. So my brain likes to think faster than my mouth can process.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's fair. Yes, so there may's fair. Yes, so there may be, some she might get tongue tied. A little bit, a little bit, that's what she's trying to say. A little bit, a little bit, that's fine.
Speaker 2:That's fine. So many thoughts come out and only one mouth. So Lacey picked me up from Ketamine and I didn't want to wait in the basement. Okay, okay, and I didn't want to wait in the basement. Okay, it's downstairs, it's just. I felt like being outside and it was sunny. So there's a Starbucks conveniently located right next door.
Speaker 1:Right, so I grabbed a coffee mobile order and sat in the sun mobile order because she couldn't talk to anybody because she was coming off the academy. Yeah, I'm like oh mobile order.
Speaker 2:This is perfect it took me a long time to mobile order, but I did it, got my decaf coffee and waited for you. It was perfect. It was a vibe, it was fun I love you were so happy.
Speaker 1:That's what matters. It was it was great.
Speaker 2:It was a great session and now here we are. Yes, so we are together again and we are both doing ketamine, yeah, infusions, yep, that sounds really weird, medically given to us.
Speaker 1:When I said that we're both doing ketamine, it was like we're both on our ketamine. Mental health journeys. Prescribed by people.
Speaker 2:Yes, Ketamine therapy yes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we're going to talk about that next week.
Speaker 2:So, yeah. Stay tuned for that.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah that next week. So, yeah, stay tuned for that. Um, yeah, so in the meantime, people want to know what you've been up to, what I've been okay, so should we just start with?
Speaker 2:like we'll take it back to. I think the cheer comp was the first thing we'll kick it off with yeah, because that was when we um that started my massive travel to florida yes, you traveled a lot lately.
Speaker 1:Okay, like you've been gone every weekend.
Speaker 2:I was in Florida for four or for three out of four weeks of the month.
Speaker 1:Of May, Of May Well and April.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It was a lot. It was a lot. Yes because you were in Florida the same time that I was in Palm Springs.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:The first time that you went to Florida, because, let's be real, you've been to florida twice and I'm going back, and I'm going, and you're going back august 16th max fit we do love florida, we do it was for reasons, but we do love florida uh, cheer is very big in florida too huge. That's where the nationals are right and that's why you were there yep, so we went to disney world.
Speaker 2:Um espn wide world of sports, brayden competed first weekend. Uh, with magic. Um they're a level six co-ed senior, limited, small, no that's a lot of words.
Speaker 1:Okay, hold on they are a limit.
Speaker 2:They are co-ed senior six limited extra small and I don't know what that I don't even know if I said that in the right order.
Speaker 1:Anyways, it's their, their division, their world's division how many divisions are there, if they have to?
Speaker 2:get that specific, because they only have so many athletes, but they're co-ed, so they boys and girls, but they have a limited number of athletes, so they're limited, extra small, and then senior, level seven. It's not senior, it's just level six. But now, anyways, that's what their teams are then. So we'll just say magic level six perfect.
Speaker 1:That's way easier. We don't need to get specific. There will be people who listen to this, who know what you're talking about, and then the rest of us are like huh, okay.
Speaker 2:So yeah, level six, world's team, that's all you need to know. Magic. They did great. They hit zero. They hit zero, yes, they hit zero.
Speaker 1:They hit zero. Yes, they hit zero. So that means zero deductions, right.
Speaker 2:Zero deductions, but it is a subjective, you know. Yes, that is a comparative scoring, and so they did not not subjective, it's more, it's got a comparative scoring on it.
Speaker 1:Anyways, they did really well, hit a great routine they did not make it um on to day two, but they did really well, better than they did last year. That's what matters right there. That's the takeaway.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, progress. Like it is amazing to see them and they have a hit zero performance. Like at that level everyone's hitting zero, so it's like you're just bringing, and now this year they're working on a new routine, bringing a new performance, and it'll be great um all that, you start all over yes, I know, we had like one week off and then they did tryouts and now their team. Yeah, they already had choreography. Magic is that's crazy.
Speaker 1:That's crazy because they're at cheer right now, both of them oh yeah, I'll get to that.
Speaker 2:They're on a team together now too, so lily, so we did. Braden was first weekend, and then we went to clearwater beach because I had the kids. Oh yeah, that's where we're moving, guys, and, by the way, this is when coach decides to crank things up on the prep life, so I now I'm doing two hours of cardio a day on top of my lift, on top of being in Florida getting to all the things.
Speaker 1:Doing all the theme parks. That's a lot of steps. I did not do the theme parks, you did not. This time the kids did.
Speaker 2:I did not, because I've been to all of them it was the short one. I'm like, no, we're doing Clearwater. I'm like we were at an Airbnb that had a water park and that was great.
Speaker 1:And so because, wait, wait, you were at an airbnb that had a water park.
Speaker 2:Yes, how does that work? Because it has like water slides and like, yeah, it had all the things.
Speaker 1:Fucking rich people man a lot of. I know it's nice. That's crazy yeah, so and you guys were there for two weeks then.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, two weeks yeah from the 23rd yeah, 14 days, 14 days. And then Lily did Summit and she's a junior five for Glam Girls and they had a zero day and they did not make it on a day two. But again, better improving.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, just the fact that they make it to nationals year over year In itself and improved is impressive Worth it Worth it Good.
Speaker 2:I was just Worth it Good. Um I was. I was just in the thick of prep.
Speaker 1:I I spent a lot of time in that cardio room.
Speaker 2:I spent a lot of time in that cardio room watching my children in the pool. It was nice because I could see them in the pools and so like they'd be there. My mom was, you know, take my mom, so she's watching them. At least they got to do everything and I was just and I went to um Kissimmee muscle gym, which was amazing, although there was a guy that came up to me and I actually got a.
Speaker 2:we should blast him he comes up to me and he's like a power lifter, he's like probably 400 pounds and he's like I have a very small tripod and I'm filming my top sets and he's like you're not allowed to film in here and says some shit and like literally stands and hovers over me until I put my tripod away and I was like so not okay with that okay, I'm not gonna get into that argument because I am on the side of.
Speaker 1:I don't think I get why you do it. I do.
Speaker 2:But it did not bother him. He should not come over from the other side of the gym and try to do that.
Speaker 1:I think it depends on whether or not there's a like a posted policy. I feel like if there's a posted policy, then OK, if there's not a posted policy, then shut up. You know what I mean, because maybe you like, do you know, not everybody has that type of policy, especially in a place that's like a bodybuilding type of gym I mean they have a no tripod culture, no tripod culture so it wasn't even that you were filming.
Speaker 2:It was specifically that you had a tripod that he was mad about yeah, so like I wasn't being an asshole, right, it was not a busy time of day, there was nobody in there. There was, like him, me, maybe one other person. I had a very small tripod, it was only at me, it was getting nobody else. And the way that he was so aggressive and came over to me, got it and was just rude and then tried to intimidate me as, like I'm a woman and he's like this huge ass man, old man, power lifter, old man. He was old and he was not the owner of the gym. Got it. So I had.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there was anyways yeah, I feel like it's such a sensitive subject and it's getting brought up a lot more, and it is because the thing because you can do it incorrectly.
Speaker 2:yeah, you can do it correctly. Yeah, here's the thing 100. Do not get anyone else in your shot, ever. Don't get anyone get anyone else in your shot Without permission. Do not take up space where your tripod is taking up, like in the way of people walking, in the way of like there's ways to do it discreetly, there's ways to do it like an asshole, and that's.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, that's fair, that's totally fair.
Speaker 2:And there's also ways to ask nicely. This guy was fucking rude 100, 100, I also do not come up to me as a woman, like when there was like nobody, don't try to be intimidating. Yeah, it was very much an intimidation thing yeah, yeah, I don't like that.
Speaker 1:I watch a lot of the um. What is he? The swole guy? What is his name? I don't remember the swole guy. His last name is swole, something swole. Um. He does videos about like proper gym etiquette and culture and like calls out people all the time, like when they get mad and start yelling at people, either because they're filming when they're doing it appropriately or the people who are filming inappropriately and are trying to shame people. And like trying to make things because they're trying to get famous, right. Trying to make things because they're trying to get famous, right. So some people go to the gym and they film themselves because they want to look at their form and what their muscle looks like and see where their gaps are and what they need to work on and all that things. And then there's other people who want to film for instagram yes, yes, there's a big.
Speaker 2:I'm like I do. I do have my reels and stuff, but I also filmed like progress, yeah, and to see what my form looks like, to see what my muscle structure looks like, to see if there's any sort of oh, and shout out to Janessa again she likes to watch my videos to see if I have any impingements.
Speaker 1:I love her.
Speaker 2:She's like I look to see if like because my hip has been bothering me but we now think it's trauma related which is so funny because my hip is also bothering me, but it's opposite hips. Mine is the right one mine's the left and yours is the left and it's also wrapped around in my psoas, and so we think that like yeah mine does too. I wonder who knows with me but because she's like it's your body that fights.
Speaker 1:It's weird yeah, yeah, how it's holding things and stuff like that. Not your form, well, but that was a hard thing too. Right, you were in prep. Like we already talked about, you were in prep. So you, that's the time you kind of have to film yourself because you're trying to tweak and I'm also.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it was very rude, but and besides that I had a great time at that gym I've never been approached ever before by anyone.
Speaker 1:That was the only time that I've ever had any sort of interaction like that Is that, like the gym, you go to every time you go to Florida.
Speaker 2:I've gone to all the gyms there now and that's my favorite. Kissimmee Muscle is my favorite. I've been to Power Strength. I've been to Iron Religion. Those are great. You can film all you want there, All the tripods. They just have really crazy equipment at Kissimmee.
Speaker 1:I'm taking those off.
Speaker 2:Okay, she doesn't like her headphones.
Speaker 1:They have really great equipment.
Speaker 2:Like what Every kind of leg equipment you could ever want. They have multiple Sumerian. They have a line of Sumerian.
Speaker 1:I don't know why I asked the question, because now you're going to say a bunch of stuff that I don't know.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to explain it to you and you look at me, I don't know.
Speaker 1:You said that word and I was like and I'm gone, yes, never mind.
Speaker 2:Let's move on from that.
Speaker 1:It's like equipment that I wouldn't get to use anywhere else.
Speaker 2:That's cool then. Yeah, so it was really. Florida was great. Florida drivers are crazy.
Speaker 1:Yes, oh my God. Yes, like, who gives a fuck about a speed limit in that goddamn state? Nobody, nobody. They drive, everybody drives a minimum of like 20 miles over the speed limit.
Speaker 2:And also left turn lanes. People will turn in front of you when you're turning.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, they don't give a fuck in Florida, but I do like Florida, I do too.
Speaker 2:But, but I do like florida, I do too, but not not. Orlando, where I was, was like really close to orlando. Okay, because you know disney, because that's where it was yeah, the kids stayed on disney property with the their teams so they kind of like swapped out.
Speaker 1:So I was like down one kid one week and then you know oh, really, yeah, that's kind of that's cool, because then you got to spend individual time with your kids.
Speaker 2:Yes, but I was really in the cardio room and at the gym and then also dying. And when I wasn't doing that, I was eating egg whites on lettuce.
Speaker 1:So gross Egg whites and lettuce with mustard and dill pickles. Like. To me that sounds like a struggle meal, Struggle meal.
Speaker 2:And I'm like, oh, that sounds good right now.
Speaker 1:That sounds like a struggle fucking meal. You're like I'm poor and I don't have anything in the house. What can I afford? I can afford eggs. I can afford mustard Egg whites. Who can afford egg whites? That's true.
Speaker 2:Fuck off, I don't have enough fat for eggs. Okay, we don't get eggs around here, we get egg whites. No, live in life, I'm not going to give anybody my current macros, because I don't want you to like think that you got to eat like me, but or my macros from before. I will never give my full macros because, like that's from me and my coach and like I don't want anyone thinking it's very body, yes, very body specific, and we were suffering, but I'm a professional athlete at this point right, we were suffering for a minute.
Speaker 2:Now we're not. Now we're eating and I feel like I'm cheating the system because like I'm like do I.
Speaker 1:You want to hear how she's cheating the system.
Speaker 2:She had chicken and rice and she was like oh my god, I feel like I'm being a bad girl because I'm eating rice. I have like 200 grams of carbs and 50 grams of fat right now and it changes at any moment. Right now, because we're only a couple weeks out and I'm like every day I check in with my coach, shout out to lydia top gun fitness. Lydia's amazing. She is like fucking love her. She's so great. Um, if anyone wants to get into like bodybuilding or even lifestyle like, hit up lydia yeah, I guess you know she's on the out for a second.
Speaker 1:I'm like you know I saw it in your. I did. I know it's still the kind of mean I know you're fine anyways, um why does the thought like go some?
Speaker 2:I actually heard a noise and I'm like is that kinsley thought she was yelling out back? Anyways, that's like another thought. You know, mom, thoughts that popped through my head.
Speaker 1:Did kinsley go with you to florida?
Speaker 2:yes, and my mom came too. Oh, that's good. That's why, okay, I could not do it without her.
Speaker 1:I was going to say Shout out to my mom for like being there.
Speaker 2:Otherwise, like I mean, she was just my other body, because I sometimes would have to go get Lily ready or have to go do things with one of them and or have to be in the cardio room. Go to do my lift. Yes, yeah, three hours a day minimum um two hours cardio, an hour and a half of lift, two hours of cardio I feel like if I attempted your workout routine, I would literally that was just for a grind moment. We are not doing that now.
Speaker 2:Cardio is down now to like only 30 minutes and again we're like cruising into show. We're under three weeks now and I'm like I have energy again. I'm like my body is just absorbing all the food we're feeding it and it's like the human body is so crazy and incredible and the things that it does and like learning and all the things, um, I kind of I guess I could just roll right into the miami. We can kind of talk about it, since I'm already on it, although we want then, so, um, got back actually.
Speaker 2:No, we'll, we'll save that. So, yeah, the human body's freaking crazy. We'll go to your story and then I'll talk about how crazy the human body is and how I've been like ramping up my but it kind of flows into it, so should I just talk about it, totally up to you, okay so we'll talk about it. So we're kind of like refeeding going into this show, because Miami Pro I came in.
Speaker 1:Separate trip to Miami, guys. Separate trip to Miami, yes.
Speaker 2:So, oh, we are not even done. Let's just wrap this one up. Adhd, we'll call the sack, hold on. So we are done with Summit. We went to Clearwater, we did it up, we came back home, because I was home for one day and then I drove one day, yes, and then I drove over to the other coast, so I was on one side of the united states and then florida, and then you went to, yes, oregon lincoln city to spray at a bodybuilding show with brayden and I literally like almost my life was flashing before my eyes there.
Speaker 2:I was suffering, suffering. Um came back just because you were on fumes at that point yes, and my body was just shutting like it was hard for me to walk. My body was like you were just tired. I had just been doing all the things with the jet lag and just working and it was just suffering.
Speaker 1:But you know what?
Speaker 2:first world problems right for sure. First word problems also, like I choose to be a bodybuilder, I choose this life and I love it so that doesn't mean you're not allowed to complain about it from time to time. I think that was the only time I had ever complained. Yeah, that's the only time you've ever seen me like that, um, but then we started feeding, so then came back from the show. Now we're going to mi right Back from the weekend.
Speaker 1:Now we're going to Miami and you were back for two days. Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then we're going to Miami.
Speaker 1:So yeah, because we didn't, we literally didn't see each other for a week.
Speaker 2:No, it was like a week I was home for like a week. I was home for a week.
Speaker 1:Between the Oregon show. Yes, okay, just a week. And then I was on my way to miami and miami we started, that's when I saw you and you yelled at me about the dill pickles. That was before before you went to florida.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, and I was dying, yes, it got even worse in florida, I bet, and it got worse when I got back. And then, okay, then we started carving up for a show and I'm like, okay, this is good. And then my body's like carbon up for a show. And I'm like, okay, this is good. And then my body's like we're just gonna lose all the weight and we're just gonna harden out. And I just kept dropping weight and no matter what we were feeding me, my body was in.
Speaker 1:And we're still in this weird you have to talk about, about the day of rice okay, it wasn't just rice, okay, so, but this is how I remember it, because every time you're like so I ate and I had rice cakes and I ate, and I had rice and I ate, and I had rice cakes and I ate, and I was like, did you?
Speaker 2:Okay, you literally ate so much fucking rice. So we are carving up. On Wednesday, thursday, friday, I have like 480 grams of carbs, like 120 grams of fats throughout the day, and you had only been eating like 50, right Carbs. Yeah Well, I've been carving up that week, but previously yes.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I'm just saying that's a big increase, yes, and so we had then, yes, a huge increase. I've been on 50 carb, yes, and it only been since Wednesday. I'd increased by like 70, slowly. Thursday we increased, or. I don't even remember the numbers, Don't count me on those numbers. I made those up. So Wednesday, thursday, we were adding more, so Friday is like we had a bunch. We're like loading it up. Saturday, I wake up three pounds lighter.
Speaker 2:My body's like fuck you and we're hard. And so saturday's day of show, yeah, and coach is like fuck, yeah, she knew she's like, because the night before she's like maybe a burger and fries, and so now we have like this is also really good data to learn to know, because it's your first show ever like as a pro.
Speaker 1:No, no, no as a pro. Yeah, my pro pro debut. Well, it's not really different.
Speaker 2:It's still a show, but it's like this kind of peak or prep has never happened, so it's more data points in the science game, right like. My body's never reacted this way before, true, but now we know right. So, morning of it's like all right, we're, we're going to eat some rice.
Speaker 2:A bag of rice, a bag, a fucking bag of 80, 86 carbs in that bag of rice and almond butter. I was so good. That first bowl of rice with my coffee that morning was so good. I was like living life. I thought I was like scored Right, I get a fucking bag of rice and some almond butter.
Speaker 1:I'm loving this you sound like an abused child. It was good that rice was so good it was.
Speaker 2:And then I get rice cakes every hour with jam and peanut butter and I'm like, yes, and then I get dropped off for makeup and coach is like, okay, stack of pancakes. And I'm like, yes, and then I get dropped off for makeup and coach is like, okay, stack of pancakes. And I'm like, huh, because she had jokingly said something about pancakes. I thought jokingly earlier. And then she's like so I'm like looking on uber eats what I can get and I sent like some multi-grain one.
Speaker 2:She's like, no, like I prefer just yeah, and I'm like okay, here's I hop, I can get I hop because it's like you want.
Speaker 2:It's not like fat, it's more like the carb, is like more quick digesting right, so the multigrain is slower digesting, so you want it quick digesting to get in my muscle as quickly as possible. So all the syrup, right, and I eat those, and more rice cakes and another bag of rice, and at this point there's rice and almond butter that is left in a bowl because we are. You know, mama Lydia is taking us. I just stuck it underneath the seat. I couldn't eat anymore.
Speaker 1:I don't blame you. That's a lot of rice but it was fine.
Speaker 2:It was fine. It was fine. I was hungry, I was starving, but then at that point, all that food Too much, it was too much. I say it's fine it was. But we knew, we knew going in, we were sacrificing a little bit of the waste to try to fill me out. So my feedback was to come in fuller and softer. Softer in the hamstrings, come in fuller. So I'm doing less cardio, eating more food and I feel like I'm cheating the system.
Speaker 1:But it's because I grinded so hard, so hard, too hard.
Speaker 2:But you know what my body's in this place, that like I feel really great now, like I'm like it's just we're just filling up. So we're monitoring every day and taking it day by day and we got great feedback, got great video, got great picture that also, by the way, that color on you fantastic, radiant physique wear love that color against your skin and your hair very pretty thank you, love it um.
Speaker 1:Okay, I've been monopolizing all this okay but hold on before we switch to me, though, that's not the end of it, because then you came back from that florida drip and then where did you go?
Speaker 2:because, again, we, we kept trying to make plans to hang out, right, that's what I'm saying you have been gone and gone, yes, so then I sprayed it, the muscle, classic. And now I'm back. Yeah, okay, and in between that time you had a, I had my sister's bachelorette weekend.
Speaker 1:So, okay, you, yep, explain that. Yes, so we went to palm springs. It was a friday to a monday thing. Um, we had to come back super early on Monday because originally my sister had a court case that she needed to know. The outcome of that was scheduled for that day, which of course got pushed. And then we were. We were going to have Johnny Bravo's court case that day, but that also has been pushed. That's now not until what?
Speaker 1:July, in july, 21st, I believe some a long ass time to wait to get resolution on that. But so the whole thing was, we didn't realize when we booked the trip and this is on me, this is because I am not, like, um, culturally aware. I suppose I had no idea that it was stagecoach weekend in Palm Springs the same weekend that I planned my sister's bachelor, yeah, that's yes, yeah, problematic a little bit.
Speaker 1:So luckily, we and I booked the Airbnb like hella in advance, so that was fine, um, but when we went to book flights, they had increased the rate because they could because of stagecoach. So we ended up having to fly into Ontario, california, instead of into Palm Springs, because it was $400 cheaper per person and there was eight of us going $3,200 cheaper to fly into Ontario and drive an hour and a half to our Airbnb, versus flying into Palm Springs and driving seven minutes Crazy. We get to Ontario. Everything was great.
Speaker 1:Like surprisingly, I have really bad luck usually, and so I was super fucking petrified the whole time that like shit was going to go wrong. In fact, during our on the way to Ontario, during our first layover, they forced me to take Xanax because they're like you need to calm the fuck down, because I'm like we gotta go, we gotta beat it. I was super stressed out that shit wasn't gonna work out. I was panicky, so they forced me to take Xanax. It was fine. I was fine, but we got. We rented a 15 person passenger van for 8 of you for 8 people.
Speaker 1:We have luggage, oh yes, for a whole weekend. So yeah. So we drove an hour and a half from ontario to palm springs with in this 15 person passenger van it was actually really fun drive. Um. Jen drove initially because the car was in her name, but then I drove for the rest of the weekend when we needed to drive, because I am a sober individual and it's a bachelor weekend and I am the only sober individual on this trip.
Speaker 2:It's nice to be a sober person sometimes, sometimes, sometimes I mean for them some.
Speaker 1:Yes, for them, it's great to have a sober person around, um, no, it wasn't awful or anything, um, but we did some lots of fun stuff we did. They have like a restaurant on top of the mountain I think it's called Peaks, yeah, and you take a gondola up Gondola, yeah.
Speaker 2:Gondola, gondola, gondola.
Speaker 1:I think gondola is the boat thingy right. I don't know what the fuck. It was the one that you go up.
Speaker 2:Yes, you go up, Go up the mountain Gondola yes, I don't know which one. It is Okay, perfect, it's a binaural thing. All over again.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a binaural you have no problem now saying it. They don't know what it is yet. No, they don't.
Speaker 2:It's coming next week.
Speaker 1:And next we film out of order guys. You don't need to know that either, but it's important because you, I was on the ketamine. The ketamine it's just like I say the Facebook, leave me alone.
Speaker 2:I'm old.
Speaker 1:The Google.
Speaker 2:I have to use the Google one second my kids get so angry when I say it, did you say the chat GPT?
Speaker 1:No, because I don't use chat GPT. You use it and then you send me things.
Speaker 2:Yes, I do.
Speaker 1:Why should we both pay for?
Speaker 2:it.
Speaker 1:I know you got it, it's fine, it's fine. But so we're going up and it goes up really quickly, Like I mean not like speed wise but like height wise, because the restaurant that like eighty two thousand or eighty two hundred feet Eighty two thousand.
Speaker 1:You're like, wow, yeah, like we're in the airplanes now I know, but the fucking floor of the gondola moved, yeah, slowly in a circle as it was going up the mountain so that you could stand in one spot and get like a 360 view, which was awesome because they don't advertise that. I, none of us knew about it until it started moving and it was all freaky and stuff but it was like, wait, maybe.
Speaker 2:I wanted to know it was gonna move, so I didn't freak out.
Speaker 1:I know, because for a second, I you know me I'm panicky, again, super panicky. So I'm all like is it broken? Are broken, are we going to fall? Are?
Speaker 2:we all going to die. You know what's funny is, I'm also very panicky, but it's an internal panic and I mask it.
Speaker 1:Mine's internal for the most part, except your face. Except my face. That's what I said for the most part. My face hides nothing. I need Botox, not for my wrinkles, but to be able to like make my face.
Speaker 2:Stop making it.
Speaker 1:It would always make all the faces I can't help it I can't fucking hide anything, you'll know if I'm lying, because my face will like, you'll know. Just just trust me, you'll know. Yeah, but it was super fun. It was a delicious meal. I highly recommend the restaurant. It's probably the best fucking steak I've ever had in my life, expensive as shit. I literally ordered um water because I originally ordered a mocktail and it was nasty. It tasted like straight up black licorice and I can't fuck, can't do that, so sent that shit back and I when I say I sent that back, I meant somebody else at the table sent it back for me because you don't like confrontation, I don't like confrontation and I was just gonna pay for it and not drink it.
Speaker 1:Someone else sent it back for me, um, but all I got was so I got steak and dessert, and it was 116 dollars for just me. Like holy, good steak. It was a good steak, that was super good, so that was fun, um. The funny thing, though, is trying to drive that 15 person passenger van up the mountain to try to get to the parking lot, just to get to the gondola, was very fucking difficult, and they're all like go faster, and I'm like I literally can't notch my foot. It's all the way on the fucking floor and we're going like four miles an hour up the hill and I was a lot easier.
Speaker 1:I was so scared we were gonna start rolling backwards. I was like just we're fine, everything's fine. It was a little shaky there for a minute, but you got up. We made it barely, but we made it. But so imagining this, and it's very funny well, because, yeah, because I'm trying to like not show that I'm nervous that the vehicle's not going very fast, but again my face, so anyone that looked at me.
Speaker 2:It was like we know there's something going on.
Speaker 1:There's something, yeah, so that was super fun. And then on Saturday we did like a bike a bike pub oh fun. So Palm Springs is really strict, like the Airbnb had so many rules and at first I was getting pissed at this fucking host about it. But Airbnb had so many rules and at first I was getting pissed at this fucking host about it, and then we learned that no, it's literally the city of Palm Springs has obnoxious, crazy rules. Like they have a noise ordinance all day, all day long, and if the cops get called on you one time, you get kicked out and that's a city thing. You have to sign like an ordinance thingy that the host has to then take copies of and provide it to the city before you're, like, allowed to stay overnight, like it was. I've stayed in so many Airbnbs and I've never seen my life.
Speaker 1:No, and I thought it was just our host. But then we were on the cycle thingy, which is technically like a pub but you're not allowed to drink on it because of the city. So what do you do on it? You ride from bar to bar because you're not allowed to drink on it because of the city. So what do you do on it? You ride from bar to bar because you're not allowed to drink on the cycle itself.
Speaker 2:But it was so fun, because then you're like touring. Interlude, interlude, we were talking to you guys for like another 20 minutes, we realized, okay, prep brain, last time we were going to record and I didn't record. I was in, I put our full memory card in there, but I'd cleaned some stuff up, so there was like 30 ish minutes which you did just here, and then now we have a little break so we're going to try to pick up where we left off on the Palm Springs trip.
Speaker 2:Palm Springs trip yeah, and the city ordinance bike yes.
Speaker 1:Yes. So I mean we still had a good time. I mean we weren't allowed to drink on the bike not that I would drink anyway, but they weren't allowed to drink on the bike but got to stop at different bar locations and rescue jen because one of the bar owners tried to kidnap her because she's cute and adorable. She also some old man was like mad that we were at this one part. It was dead, there was nobody there. Some old man was mad and she went and spent like 15 minutes like talking the man down because that's jen and that's how she is. And yep, a same bar bar owner tried to kidnap her. It was a whole thing. I literally had to like pull her physically away from him but and then threaten him and then it was fine. Oh, it's good, we had a good time. That sounds amazing. It sounds like jen, right, yes. And then the next day, uh drag brunch, which was super fun, um, delicious french toast oh, that sounds so good I got so many videos and so many photos of the performers.
Speaker 1:Some were definitely better than others. There was this one that you would love. In fact, I should show you some of the videos. Yes, yes, it was so fun I want to see yes.
Speaker 1:And then, jen, there were dudes there that in banana hammocks, like they were like the shot guys or whatever, um, and at the end they had their own dance and like people, the announcers, like you know, if you want one of the dudes to like, come and rub up, you know, put some money up. And one was cuter than the other. So Jen grabbed a wad of cash. We gave her all of our because it was the end right, we gave her all of our leftover ones and she's holding it up trying to get one of them to come, and the other one comes, and so he's literally looking at her, walking towards her. She's disappointed because it's not the one that she wants. She takes half the wad of cash and sends it back down on the table. That is so funny, funny, I was dying, I was laughing. So because I think she was still hoping that the other one would come over and she didn't want to not have anything by that time. But that guy never actually made it to our side.
Speaker 1:So she was sad, but we still had a super fun time. So fun, so fun yes, so um yeah, so then we she's married. Now that is so wild. It it feels surreal, right, because we've made jokes all the time about we're gonna to be spinsters for life. We have a Thelma and Louise back when I turned 80 to just drive it over a cliff.
Speaker 1:It's going to be me, and you, it has to be now, because now we're going to be the spinsters, because she's married off and she's happy and in love, and it's gross and all the things. They're so cute. They're perfect for each other. I'm so happy for them. Beautiful wedding, absolutely gorgeous uh photo of the two of us side by side, though. It's really entertaining because I am white I know I should have. I wanted to, but like you were so busy when you were home for like a day and I would have done it.
Speaker 1:It takes 15 minutes but you were also busy time to get here. Yes, yeah, it's, and you're also 15 minutes. Yes, I'm not as busy now, though, because I I quit working texas, and I also. I'm not teaching classes and you're not teaching classes anymore. So that's new and different for both of us.
Speaker 2:It's crazy, but that frees you up, so now you can do more coaching yes, so in-person clients, online clients through my app, let me know I am taking. I will be putting out um like a little blurb. Uh, yes, but um a oh my gosh it's in there.
Speaker 1:Why is the word not?
Speaker 2:coming out an application for my coaching services if you would like them. That's funny. Um, if you want to join top gun like, if you're looking to like you know, is that where you? Um, no, that's like me personally, like I'm just coaching or like, hardcore, I'm training out of online coaching. Um, but, like, if you're looking for prep, like, and you need more than what I can provide.
Speaker 1:Lydia, top Gun got you. I hear what you're saying yeah, um, I have no plan of. I had to quit Texas because physically it just was killing my body. Financially it sucks, but yeah, you needed to. I needed to, yeah, because my body is a shit show. And uh, super fun news I got kicked out from my doctor's office, which is wild, and not the first time. Which is even crazier, I've been kicked out of physical therapy. This is, I think, the second or third doctor that's kicked me out because they can't help me and they get it's like a mark on their record or something and they like get offended.
Speaker 2:This also has to go back into how our health care system is broken it's so broken.
Speaker 1:So broken because I've had, um. I've never had like an official diagnosis, I've had like half diagnoses, um, but I've had multiple people my masseuse, my uh chiropractor and my pain management specialists all tell me that they are pretty sure I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which is a connective tissue disease. It's in that family and I've been diagnosed with undifferentiated connective tissue disease, which means they know I have something wrong but they don't know specifically what it is. So, new rheumatologist, fourth one, less than three years, because Kootenai cannot keep a fucking rheumatologist if their life depended on it. And yes, I'm calling kootenai out because, fuck kootenai, they have screwed me and I am mad I'm done I'm done, yeah.
Speaker 1:So I was super hopeful new rheumatologist, I'm gonna be like, okay, starting over with somebody new, maybe this person will listen to me because nobody else will listen to me, and maybe I can get my testing to see if this is what it is. Nope, total opposite. Not only is she like I'm not gonna test you because there's no reason to, because there's no cure and there's no treatment and all the things, and I'm like, okay, but it still matters, but they don't think it matters. But she, flat out, was like so I don't think you should be here, I can't help you. I think that your hypermobility is the root cause of all your problems. Which hypermobility, if you don't know, it's basically double jointed. But double jointed is not a real thing. But that's what it is right. You can overextend, but that can injure your body and all the things. And she told me not to stretch but to strengthen and to quit taking all of my medication. So I'm literally not on anything to help. What does that?
Speaker 1:help I have no idea. It was a dude. I'll let you I should let you just read the notes because, like, it took her a week to even put the notes in after my appointment, so that pissed me off. But yeah, and then she literally told me not to come back. So she's like no more, no more pills, no more blood tests, no more blood tests. Don't, don't come back here. Maybe try like a functional medicine doctor, good luck to you. And sent me on my way. I'm like what? Like I had three other rheumatologists who all at least agreed and acknowledged that there are problems. I definitely have arthritis, I definitely have whatever oh sorry, but whatever connective tissue shit going on, and this one's just like yeah, but we can't help you. So bye and I.
Speaker 2:And I was just like what in the flying fuck, she sounds like she has like a two full caseload.
Speaker 1:I don't know what it is. I mean she might because, let's be real, they can't keep anybody, so she's coming and there's nobody else available. Like people are like, well, can you just go to another rheumatologist? I'm like there's nowhere to go. Like like spokane is all. There's like a waiting list and the only other rheumatologist I even know of in our area is not taking new patients. So, but also, whatever I'm, it just is what it is at this point, um, we're going to do a whole episode about medical and just how stupid the health care industry is we really are?
Speaker 1:because wellness is preached about but not always obtainable, because they make everything so difficult right my son uh has scoliosis and just trying to get him x-rays has also been a shit show.
Speaker 2:I'll save that for when we talk about the fucked up medical industry but, but that all happened yeah and we can loop back around how ketamine should be used as a mental health and modality for a cure or a not like just throwing antidepressants and anti-anxieties and hoping that one will stick and work just in general.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's how my whole health journey has been mdma and ketamine psycho-assisted therapies are now approved. Are they really Interesting? I saw the maps Interesting. Yeah. So that's where I'm at Trying to figure out the financial thing about not working in Texas, no longer having a doctor and having no idea what my next steps are. And now my sister's married. That's so crazy. So I can breathe. Yay, Jay, I know I'm so happy for her um, okay, kids are done with season eight.
Speaker 2:Season nine uh, washington extreme is now going, so we are full effect now. Kids are had. Their team reveals. Brayden and lily are on riot together and brayden's on magic, so they're at cheer right now. Um, kinsley will be doing the prep cheer thing.
Speaker 1:Do you want to know when is your kids' last day of school?
Speaker 2:This week or next week? Next week?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, because you're Washington, I'm Idaho, my kids' last day of school is this week. Just to blow it up into your face we're going to have seniors.
Speaker 2:I know, and it's so weird, isn't that crazy? It's so weird to me, it's so crazy it's.
Speaker 1:It's more crazy because that we literally met because of those kids in kindergarten and now they're gonna be seniors september 18th, brayden's gonna be 18 october 20th, d will be 18. Oh, it's so old they're like almost adults.
Speaker 2:They're not like the.
Speaker 1:They're like old seniors, not young seniors right because of when their birthday is crazy that's wild.
Speaker 2:So, um, yeah, I am just under three weeks out for my next show too, so we're grinding every day. It's a game of are the macros and cardio gonna change? Who knows?
Speaker 1:it's so funny because, like you still have like purpose and direction and I'm just like la la, la. I mean I don't have a job anymore, I don't have all these doctors. I mean I do, but I don't I do, I know my main job.
Speaker 2:I do have a real job. I do have a real one of the streams, I know but it did make me decent money while I was there.
Speaker 1:It was helpful, plus the the social aspect of it, and that's the part I'm going to did make me decent money while I was there. It was helpful, plus the the social aspect of it, and that's the part I'm going to miss the most.
Speaker 2:To be honest, now we can pour more into our podcast and get the people what they want I'm more available.
Speaker 1:Yes, you're more available. Yes, yes, we're gonna work on it yeah, it's coming yeah I'm excited um, let me just make sure we touched on all the things oh yeah, we tried to be prepared, we had a list and then, johnny, bravo, did we talk about that?

Speaker 2:Oh, I did get word from. Oh, did I even ever tell you? I don't know? Oh my gosh, I can't say the name. I almost said who it was they're gonna tell me after we stop recording, right, well, yeah I'm gonna show you the messages right now perfect, and this about johnny bravo yeah, they said that they saw him at ihop, which is really funny because working or I don't know, she said that like he was getting into a. She said it was a fiat, but then another, another vehicle.
Speaker 1:But then how does this boy keep getting vehicles? Who keeps giving this boy vehicles?
Speaker 2:Right, I know. But then my neighbor, my neighbor saw him, well, I guess she was. He drove like right in front of her on the road and he like looked but didn't look. You know how he does the thing that he looks but he doesn't look because he's like knows, people know who he is, everybody knows.
Speaker 1:And she said it was like a little honda, little smart car, like little tiny little smart car thing I absolutely hate hondas and honda. I mean, okay, when you don't have like a job or money, how do you get vehicles? Yeah, yeah, because we know repos. I don't know someone. Someone has info. Stop giving this man a car.

She's like, oh no, how embarrassing. It's the smallest little fiat looking car ever, I'm like, which is very fitting clown face emoji. She says ew, I just got the ick with his shaved legs and tight shorts and I said he's a walking ick everything. She sends me a picture of the car. It looked like this, but 10 to 15 years older that's hilarious, dude.
Speaker 1:That is like the third car. Is that not funny? No, you did not send that to me. I did not send that to you. I don't know. Isn't that funny? It is funny. Some people never learn.
Speaker 2:That's like I don't. Yeah, that's about it. My life has been like great and busy. Yes, miami Pro. A little recap I know we just talked about the peak, but it was such a great experience like sharing the stage with like Olympians and some of like the best athletes wellness athletes Super motivating.
Speaker 2:Yes, it was so great, and getting feedback from the head some of the head judges like the head judge was an Olympian judge and just being in front of them and knowing that fine-tuning is kind of what I need at this point is just like very motivating and just showing up as my best package next time.
