New Year, Real Talk: Why Friendship Matters More With Age

New Year, Real Talk: Why Friendship Matters More With Age 

Episode Description:
As we get older, New Year’s hits different. It stops being about sparkly outfits and staying up till midnight, and starts becoming something deeper—a pause, a breath, a moment to feel the weight of everything we survived… and everyone who helped us survive it. 

In this episode of Slightly Unsupervised, Jennifer and Jackie look back at the friendships, memories, and lessons that shaped their year. From sleeping on sidewalks at 17 waiting for the Rose Parade, to ringing in the New Year at home by 10 p.m., the girls reflect on how time changes everything—except the importance of having your ride-or-die. 

They talk about why friendship becomes more sacred with age, how New Year’s reminds us that time is moving faster than ever, and why choosing your people—intentionally and consistently—is the real resolution. 

This episode is cozy, nostalgic, honest, and full of the reminder every woman needs:
 Your friendships are the safety nets that carry you into every new year. Protect them. Prioritize them. And celebrate them. 

In This Episode:
✨ New Year’s as a teenager vs. New Year’s at 55
✨ Why time speeds up (and hits harder) as we age
✨ How friendships deepen when life gets more complicated
✨ What this year taught Jennifer & Jackie about loyalty, growth, and showing up

Jennifer 0:00

Hey there, I'm Jennifer. And I'm Jackie. And welcome to Slightly Unsupervised, where best friends, business partners, and the chaos behind testimony, a ceremony we created to celebrate the kindest soulmates who don't come with a marriage license.

Jackie 0:11

Podcast is all about that friendship energy. The deep stuff, the messy stuff, and the laugh till you snort stuff.

Jennifer 0:16

So whether you're driving, folding laundry, or hiding in your car for some peace and quiet, you're in good company.

Jackie 0:21

Let's get slightly unsupervised. All right, today, why every new year means more as we get older, and how friendship becomes everything. As we get older, New Year's starts to feel different. It stops being about glitter and big declarations and starts becoming a moment of clarity. A pause where you suddenly feel the weight of time, the meaning of the past year, and the people who helped you survive it. We start to see our friendships in a deeper way. Who showed up, who stayed, who made us laugh, and when we could have cried, cried, who held space for our mess, our growth, our heartbreak, and our joy. The older we get, the more we realize that friendships aren't just social. They're emotional safety nets. They're the way we stay grounded when life gets loud, complicated, or heavy. And each new year becomes a reminder that time is moving fast and the friendships we nurture will determine the quality of the years ahead. Today we're talking about New Year's matters more with age and why our friendship become one of the most important choices we make.

Jennifer 1:17

Absolutely. I don't let's talk about, I want to talk about the one New Year's I remember us being together as children. Let's just start with that because it's so vastly different than it is now. Um do you remember the time we went to the um Rose Marie? What was that?

Jackie 1:33

The Rose Parade.

Jennifer 1:34

Yeah. The Rose Parade. Pasadena Rose Parade. Uh we were probably what, seven, sixteen, maybe seventeen?

Jackie 1:41

I think we were 17.

Jennifer 1:43

Maybe we were 17.

Jackie 1:44

Yeah, I think we were 17.

Jennifer 1:45

Anyways, we had a friend that's parents owned a condo down there, and it was right by the Rose Parade, you know, where they went through. And yeah, we had never been, none of us. We all grew up in California. We never been to the Rose Parade or had been part of that. So I know there was a big group of us that went down. I'm pretty sure my brother went, and I know my boyfriend at the time went, and it was you and our girlfriend. I don't know if I remember anybody else that was there. I know there was more people for sure. I just don't remember exactly. But we literally stayed out on that street. We didn't stay at the condo. We had to stay out on the street. To hold your spot. To hold your spot. So we do you remember there was like a I think it was a Carl Jr. something that we sat in front of. I remember Taco Bell. Was it Taco Bell? It was Taco Bell, yes. Okay. Well, anyways, we sat there and at some point we just got so tired. Do you remember this Jack? And we had taken like like furniture, lawn furniture or something they had, those trifold things, and we were trying to lay on them because we knew we needed to sleep because we had this rose parade started at like 7 a.m. or something. It was ridiculous. But so we had to stay down there to get our spot. But we were all asleep. We finally like all went to sleep. It was kind of you know noisy and loud, and then the freaking sprinklers turned on. Do you remember that? We were on the grass there and we got just soaking wet. The sprinklers got all of us wet. It's middle of like morning time, like 3 a.m. Or it's cold because it's you know, it's cold back. I'm sure it's so cold. And we just, you know, we barely wore clothes back then because you know, we're in our teenage years. I'm sure we had a jacket, but we were too cool for school to be too bundled up. So we were we weren't the brightest.

SPEAKER_02 3:25

And it was 3 a.m.

Jennifer 3:27

And so what did we all do? The whole group of us we went back to the condo in the garage. Yeah, it wouldn't let us in the condo. There's like too many of you. And I don't blame them. Like looking back on it now, if I had 20, 30 kids in my coming into my house, I'll be like, you know what? You guys just go in the garage over there and hang out. They let us in the garage and that's where we hung out. And we did go back in the morning after we saw the Rose Parade, I guess. I don't really remember that much about that, but um, you know, that's that's where we start, right? Those are the beginning years of it. And then we get to these years now, we're 55, and you know, uh I think I'm in most New Year's Eve. Actually, I know I am, and I'm way ahead of bed, and I'm going to sleep, and I don't really care.

Jackie 4:13

We watch uh the New York New York ones since they have it before us.

Jennifer 4:18

Yeah, the May Sea Parade. Listen, there's a whole vast difference between then and now. You would not catch me out dead at the Rose Parade. I've seen that, check that off my bucket list as a child. But you know, it's it's a vast difference. But the difference really is the way we celebrate it, but also in the way that it moves faster now, don't you think? Like, I think New Year's, when we were younger, they came fewer and far between, and now they're fast and furious. Like it's like I can't even believe it's you know December right now. It's crazy to me that a year has flown by. Yeah, the years go by definitely way faster than they used to. But they also feel different. I mean, when they go fast and furious, you're like, man, next year we're 56 years old. Because we have these birthdays, one every month for like five months solid in the beginning of the year. Five months of the year. Yeah. So we're already back to that. I just feel like we celebrated. Now we've got to think of things to buy everybody.

Jackie 5:13

You know what I mean? Like I know, didn't I just send you shoes?

Jennifer 5:16

Yes. Yes, it seems like it was yesterday. I know. And it's crazy because they come so fast now. And I don't know why, because we do so much less. How is that possible? How is something that our time slows down and our and yet it goes faster than when we were busy? They didn't seem to go as fast. I don't think the year seemed maybe because we were in lockdown and we couldn't, we didn't have the freedom to do whatever we wanted. And so we were anticipating, you know, getting to do something all the time. And now we're like, oh my god, is it another holiday already? For goodness sake. Seriously. Another, I just saw a meme too, by the way. I thought it was hilarious. It was like, you know what? Who decided to put this Thanksgiving and a Christmas so close together? I mean, five or six weeks is not enough time. We've just seen these people. We don't need to be around them all again. Like, should be some time there.

Jackie 6:07

It's like, yeah. Um, yep. This year in mine, this year's gonna because I we just had Thanksgiving. Now it's Christmas, and then right after that I have a baby shower for my son. Yeah, so I'm like, I am not gonna relax till after January 10th. Right. You're always like one thing after another, you know, and I'm doing the food and the dessert and stuff for the baby shower too. So, and I you know me, I do the big to-do for Christmas Eve with 20-something people we're gonna have and grandchildren.

Jennifer 6:34

And so, good thing about you your your holiday though is that you always have like Christmas kind of as your chill day. Like that's a nice, that's a nice for you guys. You don't really do anything, it's just the two of you, and you you know, kind of take it in, and that's kind of a nice holiday for you guys, at least after that craziness, you know. So yeah, we definitely do that. We take it. Yeah, so I'm gonna have to tell you that as you age, I don't know where you are in the spectrum, but probably 20s and 30s, teenagers, 20s, 30s, you're way into it. 40s, you're like, man, I don't know if I need to go anywhere. 50, you're like, for sure, I ain't going anywhere. I'm not going out on that.

Jackie 7:08

Yeah, I think it was kind of up and down because uh when we lived before we moved out of the mountains, I well, I was in my 40s, right? Your house. And New Year's Eve parties. Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, and you're also um celebrating your your uh I got married anniversary. Yeah, yeah. But so I did I was still got got back up into there, but it was nice because we were at our house. So everybody else had to go home. We could just stay there.

SPEAKER_02 7:34

Right, right. That's nice about hosting.

Jennifer 7:37

Yeah. A lot of work out the day before, but then you get to be done, everybody else has to go back and do whatever's. But I think it it changes too, and just your perspective of your mortality, you know, your self-awareness of the fact that we're getting older. One, two, things are starting to happen that, you know, we know would someday happen, but didn't really anticipate that they would start happening. And certainly they're on the cusp of total change at some point here. So I think uh you start getting a little more introspective of the years and be like, hey, what did I at least I do? It's like, what did I accomplish this 55th, 55th year? Did I do anything that was really that impactful in my life? Or, you know, I think you get a little more self-aware of things that you're doing or not doing and taking your time to realize that, you know, like I love to travel. I'm quite aware of the fact that I don't get to do that forever. This isn't like a never-ending, I won't be able to, you know, pick up and walk around Europe all day long. And, you know, you get tired, you gotta go to bed. Like it's starting to happen. I like to go to bed early no matter what. That's I don't care what where I'm at, but that it's not so easy as I get older. It's not so, you know, this things aren't going to be how long are we gonna be able to keep doing this and how long are we gonna be able to manage that? I'm sure you have that too, too.

Jackie 8:52

Well, because your body changes too. I mean, I think the like my leg issues that I've been having, you know, that come from my back that I couldn't walk at all really for a while there. Yeah, that's scary. You know, as we're getting older, these things will start happening, and I mean, we hope not. And you try to keep, you know, yourself physical and take care of yourself. But there's just some things that you just can't, it's gonna happen. Right.

Jennifer 9:14

Even this year when we went to Vegas, remember that you had the leg issue. It was a different leg issue, but you had the leg issue then. And from a fullness Yeah, you fell. But we stayed real close to our and thankfully we had a pretty good hotel and we could, you know what I mean? But we didn't even gamble that far. We just kind of went across the world and then we came back. Put your foot on ice or whatever. You know, we're not as we have to take into that consideration that our lives change and things change. And I think older particularly, you know, you start really taking uh sort of a deeper, more more gratitude, more you know, gratitude for the friendships you have, the people that are still in your lives, the great relationships that you have, and you know, there's the people that you know, and then there's the people that know you. And so, you know, I think you are really a lot more thankful for those sort of things. I know I am like I'm really like to have these really great friends and family and stuff. I mean, that's kind of an ongoing thing, but to have friends that are on the outside of that, outside of the family, I think is a little more like required stuff that you have to do. That you know, if you have a great family, it's great. I mean, don't get me wrong. But to have a friend or have friendships when there's so many other options in the world and that you still have these really great friends is such a blessing, don't you think?

Jackie 10:34

No, definitely. I mean, I I feel sorry for some people that I see that they don't have really have any friends. I know and I'm like, how could I just don't get that? Like, I know I mean I love my husband and stuff, but I need my friends too. You know right.

Jennifer 10:49

Yeah. We said that as women particularly, like, we need emotional connections, so we need to have our friends. Like, it's so important as you get older. You know, if you don't have a best friend, I don't even it blows our heart. Like, what do you do? Like, who do you go to with your problems? Who do you complain to? Who do you make fun of people with? Like, who is that person? Like, you need that outlet. I know it's mean sometimes to do those things, but you need an outlet. You need that person in your life that laughs with you, knows you're on the insane side, and doesn't care, like right there with you. So I just can't imagine. And I sent you a thing last night about this group that I joined about people friends looking for people, and it's like they're at the past the age with their children, or especially when you right after the children are, you know, you have children, you really do need your girlfriends back again because you have this time that you've got filled with children before that you have to start refilling. So that they're like, we need friends. And I'm like, man, how do you get to that? I think that lady that I sent you yesterday was 50 our age. Yeah. And I'm like, you don't have any friends? Like, oh my gosh, that's scary. So, anyways, let's talk about how our friends should be evolved this year. Jack, let's do it. Okay. What you survived or navigated together this year? Podcasting.

Jackie 12:05

Yes, definitely podcasting.

Jennifer 12:08

We have taken on podcasting, and we I mean, we've got some really fun stories about how this went about and how we started and all of the things that went wrong to get this thing going. But we learned how to podcast.

Jackie 12:22

Tennessee, California, and Las Vegas.

Jennifer 12:24

That's right. That's right. But we have learned so many things about how to do podcasting and how to, you know, Jackie's very shy in the beginning. I did a lot more talking. Now Jackie's coming out of her shell sum, like all the evolution of all that stuff that we did. So we survived and learned, right? We learned, you know, we're not that good with technology, so we learned how to do it. Now we just get in our little cocoons and podcast. And, you know, the world can watch us and be like, man, those two did it. We did it, Jackie. You know how many people probably look at us and be like, there's no way they're gonna do that, or there's no way they're gonna Oh, yeah.

Jackie 12:59

I know people that uh say, Oh, we need to have you on here, and they're oh no, I don't know how you guys do that. I could not do that. I get that from people all the time. You're like, you should come on our podcast. When you first start, yes, like it was nerve-wracking for me. It was easier for you. But now, and also a lot of people say, like, right now I have a cold, so what they could probably tell us apart. Lots of times they can't tell who's talking. So I got used to that. I'm like, well, they'll just think it was Jen. Sounded stupid.

SPEAKER_02 13:26

They came out of my mouth today. It's Jen. It's true though.

Jennifer 13:34

Anyways, I give us kudos because we not only took it on, we did it, and we still are podcasting. We're in like 28, 29. I don't think people make it past three. I mean, there's like the statistic is that most people do three podcasts and quit, and we're at 28, 29 podcasts or something that you know, we're rated in the 40 or 50s now for friendship stories and stuff. So we we did it. We did it. All those haters out there, we did it. All right, you go.

Jackie 13:59

Ways you've grown grown closer, changed or supported each other.

Jennifer 14:03

I think th through this, like for sure.

Jackie 14:06

Because we're definitely spending more time with each other and see each other through the computer and right and then podcasting.

Jennifer 14:13

But we have these, we also started this thing, Chicology, which we have, you know, this women-led collective of of podcasts. And, you know, we have grown closer and we've grown closer to people that we've known that we don't necessarily we weren't particularly close to, we've gone closer to them too. And that, you know, we support each other, we support them a lot too. So not only have we gotten closer and supporting each other, we are now supporting more people in this this podcast collective that we've got started. Um, we've done a lot of that this this year, ton of it that you know definitely just came out of nowhere with that thing, and now we're moving along. So okay. Moments that defined your friendship in the last 12 months. I really in the last 12 months, a couple things stand out to me. Um, one when you came here and we started to try to podcast. That was like the start of this thing.

Jackie 15:04

It was kind of a joke, but we did it.

Jennifer 15:06

We did it. We did podcast. I think our first couple podcasts were with a setup that we had and all the equipment I had to buy, and now we end up with hundred dollar microphones and ears,$20 earphones, and that's all we needed. And I spent a I mean, literally, I have a podcasting studio that we don't use, basically.

Jackie 15:25

I mean, I have all the stuff to do it, so and then we forgot to plug it in, remember the first time we did it.

Jennifer 15:31

And then the first time we tried to podcast with each other just on the computers, and like we could we had to call each other on the phone because we couldn't hear each other, but we could hear each other talking.

Jackie 15:39

I mean, it took but we've done it now, now it's no problem.

Jennifer 15:43

No, it's no problem. And then the second defining part for me was when we went to Vegas and podcast, but also just had a nice girls' weekend and just got to that was hook up with some people that we hadn't seen in a long time. And just to remember that, you know, we can be that was our first um having people on our podcast.

Jackie 16:01

That's right. That's the first person.

Jennifer 16:03

Yeah, but they came and you know, we just had just a great time and just had so much fun.

Jackie 16:09

We laughed so hard, it was a fun time.

Jennifer 16:11

So those two stand out most to me. Do you have any others particularly that those sound great?

Jackie 16:16

Yeah, those perfect. Yeah.

Jennifer 16:17

It's always a little bit of like chaos when we get together together in the same space. So those are the two times we saw each other this year. So all right, Jack, you're you're next.

Jackie 16:26

Where you drifted, misunderstood each other, or needed more time.

Jennifer 16:30

I don't think we have that. Oh yeah. I think we're too old for that.

Jackie 16:34

I think even when I when we're I was doing, you know, the whole going through Rick stuff, you guys are still there.

Jennifer 16:42

Yeah. I think we're too old. We've had too much history to be we've had all those. There's no doubt that those those things have all happened, trust us. That it's not that we're some perfect group, but we're too old now and we've come too far and we've been around each other too long for that kind of stuff to really I don't think take. Yeah, the next one.

Jackie 17:02

Honest reflection. Okay. Go ahead. What did this year teach us about your friendship? What did this year teach us about our our friendship? I think it's just that, you know, there for each other.

Jennifer 17:13

Yeah, it's honest a reminder that you will do just about anything with me, which I love. That part of it is so important to me. Like, you will, if there's an adventure to go on, Jack's like, let's go, let's do it. Yeah.

Jackie 17:27

Let's go for it. I don't know how it's gonna end, but let's just do it.

Jennifer 17:31

What a blessing, y'all, to have somebody like that that is it. So, anyways, this is the new year. So, you know, maybe have some best friend resolutions. Here's some ideas, maybe the no disappearing agreement when even if life gets busy, you don't lose touch with each other. Um, I love this one. A quarterly, besty day, non-negotiable. Once a recorder, you have to get together and you have to take in consideration how far apart you live. Jackie and I live kind of far apart. So we have a twice a year, maybe we see each other that we'll keep on that is good.

Jackie 18:02

But we need to, but our whole group we need to because I don't think we've all been together since Christmas Christmas last year. Last year, the day after Christmas, right?

Jennifer 18:10

Yeah. It's because I don't live there. It's not because you guys don't, it's just because I don't. I'm the only one that doesn't participate. You girls do get together, so that's good.

Jackie 18:17

I know. I tried to get her here for Valentine's Day, but supposedly we're chapeling. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 18:21

Wedding chapel. It's like the busiest day. And Friday. Friday the 13th. The day before. You know how many sick people like to get married on Friday the 13th? A lot of them.

Jackie 18:34

So my first wet marriage was not smart. I love what my son said because we said something we're 13th. Yeah, it was Friday the 13th when we got married. And it wasn't, and the only reason we did it that way is because we were going on a cruise. So that's how it broke down. I'm not even thinking that that's what it was gonna be. But I remember my kids going, Well, mommy should have known that it wasn't gonna work. Right. They're this is when they're little guys, and I'm just like, okay, thank you. All right.

Jennifer 18:59

Well, all my brides kind of come up in like black dresses, like they're all little, little more into the, you know, that side of it. I think it's funny, but it's just a good day to remember, right? Friday the 13th. It gives you some sort of notoriety. Okay, some more honest, less pretending, we're okay is a great resolution. Celebrating each other's wins louder for sure. Do that. Scream at the top of your lens when your friend has done something. Like there's no reason to not cheer each other on. I think that's important in life. It also brings you closer to each other. It also gives them when you cheer somebody on and you are supporting, it gives them permission to return. Don't you think? Like you feel more apt to be like, hey, yeah, and you did that. That's awesome. So okay, and choosing each other over convenience, make sure that you are um being being mindful about that, um, being softer with each other and with yourselves. That you know, maybe you can be a little rough. And these are probably geared towards people that are a little younger than us. Um stop taking each other's moods personally for sure. I don't think we do that, do you? We don't do that, but we probably did when we were younger. You know what I mean? Like, God, she's awfully bitchy today. Jesus, like what I do.

Jackie 20:14

If you get snippy, then I just like just kind of just ignore you. It's like, whatever. She'll be over in a few minutes, just let her have her hangry time or whatever's going on right now.

Jennifer 20:24

See, that's what I was saying. Like, history teaches you it's not about you. Like, just let that go. Like, you know, right. And then keeping one best friend uh tradition alive, whatever it is that you guys might do, you know, maybe make a um resolution that you're gonna keep that alive and keep doing that. So all right, Jack. I think that about covers it. Just remember that your best friends, your friendships are super important. We cannot tell you this enough that keep those friendships alive and well, and you will need them even if it feels like life is really very busy with your kids and your husband and your life and your family. We cannot, we cannot tell you this enough that it's important to keep your girlfriends, you're going to need them later. So that's one of our main messages here on this podcast. So, anyways, okay, Jack, you start with Bestie Rabbit Fresh.

Jackie 21:09

Okay, what's one lesson this year taught you about your friendship? One lesson this year taught you about friendship.

Jennifer 21:16

I guess the again, I want to go back to the idea that you will, you're my ride or die. Like, if you if I want to do something, you jump in the car with me. And and that's been that way our whole life. Like that, you know, I think the one lesson is that it's still alive. Even at 55 years old, we still do that. So yeah, look at this. Look at what we're doing. I know. Here we are, we're podcasting. Crazy. Okay, what's something you want to do better for your bestie next year?

Jackie 21:42

Hmm.

Jennifer 21:43

I don't know if I want to do it better, but I would yeah, I need to maybe make more effort to see you girls.

Jackie 21:48

Yes. I think you need to do that too.

Jennifer 21:50

And you girls need to make some concessions and get out of California sometimes.

Jackie 21:54

Cause I excuse me, I do. You can't put me in that. Yeah, right. This is for the other.

SPEAKER_02 22:00

That's it. It's hard for the girls.

Jennifer 22:03

Yeah. It's hard for me to get into California all the time. Sometimes we gotta move outside of California a little bit so that I can come and it's easier for me to get there.

Jackie 22:13

You're next. Uh what moment this year made you say, Yep, she's my person. So we just talked about this. Good god that you would run into a podcast with me. I know, because believe me, at first, people I was just like, why did I say I do this? Like, I was kind of like, How can I backpedal out of this? Nope, can't do it. So you better get used to it.

Jennifer 22:34

I'm sure that's a hundred percent true that all happened. And I'm like, Are you ready? We're gonna podcast now. You're like, man, why did I say I'm gonna do this?

Jackie 22:42

I was having anxiety like the night before.

unknown 22:44

I was like, seriously.

Jennifer 22:45

I'll tell you the one thing that happened while we podcast that totally changed it was I'm like, we're not videoing it, we're just gonna audio it. Like, we don't need to video a podcast. That's for people that are, you know, famous or whatever. This can just be an audio track, and Jackie's like, whew. And I'm like, whew. When I read that.

Jackie 23:03

Well, yeah, because my husband kept pushing us. You guys need to do the video too. No, no, we don't.

SPEAKER_02 23:09

We're finished.

Jackie 23:09

I see myself right now on the computer. I don't want people to see that.

SPEAKER_02 23:14

Hunter.

Jackie 23:15

I'm gonna have to put a certain angle. I'm gonna need a whole other system.

Jennifer 23:19

We're like getting our hair done, we're heading over to the plastic surgeon office. We gotta go on film. Like, and we're what? People are gonna watch us, you can hear us, it's the same thing.

Jackie 23:28

We're gonna have our own glam, our own glam group.

Jennifer 23:31

Oh, yes, each glam squad that comes in and takes the screen. Can you imagine how expensive this would be at 28 episodes? We probably have to do like 20 episodes at a time because we'd be like, we can't afford that glam squad anymore.

Jackie 23:47

You know me, I'm the one that's taking my makeup off because I don't like to wear makeup.

Jennifer 23:53

Totally. I do brush my hair for this now, so at least when I'm looking at myself in a beater, my hair is not completely.

Jackie 23:59

Oh no, when we started today, I didn't know what was going on with mine. It was all over the place.

Jennifer 24:04

I said Jikey, uh, by the way, I said Jyike a um haired blow a blow dryer last week. I think it was last week or something. Two weeks ago. We have the we have twin blow dryers that are the kind of the new they're not dice, but they're kind of that it's the air circulation dream. Yeah.

Jackie 24:20

Dream it's called, or something like that.

Jennifer 24:22

It's a little small, but it it does get my hair straighter. And I know that you said that yours you're finding that to be true too. So we're diving into we all have blow dryers. Oh, Jackie and I have blow dryers, we don't need blow dryers, we have straighteners, we don't need straighteners. This was kind of like a just a gift that was like let's try these. Maybe they're you know better, you know, because typically we won't upgrade our stuff once we kind of get set on something, like true, unless it breaks, then you go. Once it breaks, then you go get another one down at Costco or whatever. So I'm like, I'm gonna send you something. I know you already have it, just ignore that. This is just like another option that's supposed to be different. So now it's the only one I'll use. Yeah. Now we have new blow dryers, girls. Yep. Yeah, move. Another one goes in the guest bathroom. All right, and then the last one what's one bestie resolution you want to make together? Okay. Let's see each other more this next year.

Jackie 25:12

Yeah, definitely. That would be nice. And everybody too.

Jennifer 25:15

Yeah. Yeah. But sometimes they have lives that are a little more complicated than you and I, so we have more flexibility in our scheduling. So let's try to spend some time. And one resolution I'm gonna make for you is when you do come to Tennessee, because you do come about once a year to see me, that we'll do more fun things.

Jackie 25:31

Wouldn't that be nice?

Jennifer 25:32

I know. Poor thing comes.

Jackie 25:34

Every time I come the last time was like, no, we're gonna do more fun stuff, we're gonna do stuff this time.

Jennifer 25:39

We did take the car. We took my little fun car out and we always do that.

Jackie 25:43

We always do that.

Jennifer 25:44

But that's the only thing I know what to do to have fun. Like, what else do you want to do? Isn't that the funnest thing on a bunch?

Jackie 25:48

I wanted to go see, do something. I don't know. You know, you want to go there, you're supposed to just take me wherever and show me everything.

Jennifer 25:56

But you grew up in a resort and I grew up in a resort area, we both did. And what did we do? What did you do when you lived in a resort area? What did you avoid every weekend with the resort people? So that's why that's real's full of people, and it's all constant 24-7, constant turnaround of people, and it's like just avoid that area. We don't want to go down there. It's probably residual from growing up in it. But I do need to remember when you come that these are not things that you normally do, and I need to just go down there and Yeah!

SPEAKER_02 26:25

Bars! Let's get drunk! Let's do it!

Jennifer 26:28

Jelly Rolls Bar. All right, that's my resolution. More fun next time you come. All right, if this episode hit you in the fields or made you laugh way too hard, we consider that a win.

Song 27:02

We stick together right or die to the moon, and no amount of space could ever come between us two. Reuniting's like we've never been apart, and every single time we're out of eye and heart to heart. There's not enough words to describe what you all made a make To headaches and ups and downs and this life you've stayed right next to me. I've gotta make you laugh till you cry. Look at everything under the moon. The definition of a bit's red. It's good.

A butt on make you laugh to the trust that's loyalty, you and me trust that loyalty, you and me, and then you're gonna be able to do that.
