Think of it as your weekly catch up with your favorite coworker, Turn Soul Sister. So grab your coffee or your wine and let's get into it.

SPEAKER_00 0:28

Stunning. Stunning.

SPEAKER_02 0:30

What is up, work wife fam? It's Katie and Ava, your favorite wives. What up.

SPEAKER_03 0:36

And Pepper. Gopal was just here, but she just left.

SPEAKER_02 0:39

Yes. We are here if you want dog content. We are here for work content, friend content, reality TV content.

SPEAKER_03 0:48

The content.

SPEAKER_02 0:49

All the content. We got it all. We're a one-stop shop. We're just I just let you in. I are you I literally, but before I joined, I let her in because she was scratching the door.

SPEAKER_03 0:58

She got what she needed, and she's done. Lydia. It's my favorite thing in the world is hearing you yell at Pepper. It's the best.

unknown 1:09

Pepper! Pepper!

SPEAKER_02 1:10

So I don't know if the the fandom knows this story. So, um, first of all, hi, it's been like a month. We've we'll talk about what's been happening, but so much. I digress. So Pepper is famous in my neighborhood. So I live in a very rural pocket of Orange County, and that like we have like a septic tank and non-city water service, and I can't see my neighbors essentially. But they can hear Pepper. And so she has this kingdom that she rules of our yard. And we live on a corner lot, and we live on top of a hill. And so our fence is towards the bottom of the hill, so she can run all the way down around the whole corner lot, and she likes to do so as people are walking on the street below us. Usually it's when they have a dog, she very rarely barks at just a human, but sometimes she does. And she'll just follow them and bark the entire span of our property. Yep. And it's quite loud, and so it's like our house, a canyon, and then another hill. And so it just echoes in the canyon. And it's, you know, it could be bothersome to people. We did get one serial killer note in our mailbox one time because she accidentally, not by us, got locked outside. Yeah, we weren't home, and she got locked outside for like eight hours, and someone left a serial killer style alt-cap sharpie note in our mailbox saying, We're gonna call animal control because your dog's been barking. And I'm like, how about expressed concern that my dog has been out for eight hours barking? Like, be a neighbor, don't be a dick. But people are nuts. People are nuts, anyways. So I we go out and we yell and we have a very specific yell we do.

SPEAKER_03 2:53

Yeah, it's a very specific tone and way to say pepper.

SPEAKER_02 2:59

Yeah, and sometimes she doesn't listen and she's definitely afraid of water. Don't know why. And um, so sometimes if she won't come up after like the third pepper, sh we just turn the hose on and just the sound of the water hitting the system of the hose runs into the house. So effective. It's one way, but I was walking her one morning a few months ago, and we're like walking down our hill to go to the road below us that takes us to hiking trails. And I saw a family coming with a dog, and so I stopped because my dog is dog aggressive and wait for them to keep going. And Pepper's, she's pretty good with me on leash now, or she like knows not to bark, but she's you she's flustered, and I'm holding her back like a good dog owner. And the guy just looks at her and goes, Hi Pepper, never met this man in my life, but she's famous because he's famous. Apparently, yell at her every morning when he walks him and his wife walk their dog down the road, and then I run outside. Peppa, so great. So when I was her hair down in shame right now.

SPEAKER_03 4:04

Oh, yeah, that's that's the call of shame for her. Yeah. But my favorite was I was walking her one of the times I was over, and one of your neighbors was like, Oh, that's a beautiful dog. What kind is it? I'm like, an Afghan.

SPEAKER_02 4:22

How do you gobold sense what an Afghan looks like?

SPEAKER_03 4:25

Yes, I know what they look like. They're I was I think I told him like an Afghan shepherd mix of some sort, because she does have the length of like an Afghan, and then, but then she has the um what are those tall dogs?

SPEAKER_02 4:40

Great Dane.

SPEAKER_03 4:40

Great Danes.

SPEAKER_02 4:42

Yeah, she's neither.

SPEAKER_03 4:43

Well, you know.

SPEAKER_02 4:46

For inquiring minds, her mom was a Doberman, and her dad was a Central Asian shepherd, which is a very, very large dog.

SPEAKER_01 4:54

I mean, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:55

Afghan, Asian.

SPEAKER_02 4:56

I think it's an Asian continent of Asia.

SPEAKER_03 5:00

Yeah, it's in the continent of Asia.

SPEAKER_02 5:02

There you go. Um that was on to something. Her dad, I think, was almost 150 pounds. She's 125. So wild. And she's just legs for days.

SPEAKER_03 5:13

Legs for days. We're really striving for that and not my personal fitness growth. Just have at least legs like pepper, because everything else is just uncontrollable at this point.

SPEAKER_02 5:27

Truly. I uh you have not seen me walk in the last two days, but I took a little over a week off of like actually working out. I was traveling, so I did a lot of walking, which we'll talk about in a bit. But as far as like strength training or regular workouts go, it was probably like a week and a half. And I cannot walk after two days of working out. And I tried to demo, I don't know if I told you this. I think I did. But this morning I was teaching and I tried to demo a floor stretch in Pierbar for classic floor stretch. I first of all, the effort to just get to the ground was embarrassing. Like I looked like a decrepit 98-year-old woman trying to get up and down. And then to try to like set my one foot forward and get into a low, what's that called? A lunge. Yeah, lunge, like a stretch. Yeah, runners on stretch. Embarrassing. Yeah. And I've been walking like waddling like a penguin all day because that's how much my legs hurt. My gosh. And I have to walk upstairs at my office. I don't have to, but it's one flight. And the elevator is on the opposite. First of all, if you're physically mobile and able to get a set of stairs, one flight, don't take the elevator. Welcome to my TED Talk for the day. And it's on the other side of the building from my office, and I park on the back side right by my office. So I take the stairs. But it is known in my company that these stairs are obscenely steep. Like the the height of the actual stairs themselves, they're a myth. I don't why they're so steep, we don't know. But I was walking in at the same time as someone this morning, and I know this person, so we were like talking, and I'm like trying my best to like talk and take my brain off how bad it hurts and how slow I want to go up the stairs, but I have to like walk at a normal pace because he is walking at a normal pace. I also chose to wear heels today. We don't know why we made this decision. That just adds on to all of it. It was bad. Bad day for all.

SPEAKER_03 7:26

Heels and I are not friends, so you'll see me in a cute little kitten heel. You like a kitten heel. I love a kitten heel. And you know, they're making a comeback.

SPEAKER_02 7:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:38

They're so cute.

SPEAKER_02 7:39

Okay. Hold on. I need to have Garrett come get pepper because she's just losing her shit.

SPEAKER_01 7:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:46

Well, that's exciting. How did we get here? Can you come get pepper? Um let's talk about where we've been. You go first.

SPEAKER_03 7:54

Where we've been, me first. Um, so much has happened since last time we all spoke together. I ended up in the hospital. I had a birthday. I moved and passed my glucose test.

SPEAKER_01 8:09

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 8:12

Yeah, the weekend is gone. He has left the building.

SPEAKER_03 8:16

Thank God. So let's start with the hospital visit.

SPEAKER_02 8:20

Wait, thank God the weekends left the building. I remember the weekend, like the April. Oh, I thought you were talking about my more off of him. No, I was talking about Able.

SPEAKER_03 8:30

I thought you were talking about my actual husband leaving the building. I was like, yes, he has left the building.

SPEAKER_02 8:36

Thank God for that.

SPEAKER_03 8:37

Uh no, he's up there. Um, just not in frame in picture. But yeah, if you've noticed a different background, it's because I moved. We'll get into that um because I need to go in chronological order a series of events that have happened in my life. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:56

Hit me.

SPEAKER_03 8:58

So I obviously we all know I teach pure bar, teach fitness. We have different formats that teachers conduct, conduct, conduct, teach. And I was teaching right before, and I was teaching our pure bar defined class, pure bar reform class, and um a line every now and then. So I was teaching a class that was pretty challenging. I think you're teaching it right now.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

Yeah, I taught it yesterday. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:35

And it's like anytime you teach a new class in this format, I feel as though you're demoing a lot more than you would naturally. And so that was the case in this moment. And I did some things that I should not have done. One of them was a weighted burpee. And another thing was I keep replaying this class back in my head because it had to do with my back. I remember trying to help a member with her form and with doing a correct abdominal twist, but wasn't quite registering or there's just a disconnect. And so I visually showed her the improper way. And you know, you know, I forgot I was pregnant and I didn't feel it in the moment. I had like an hour break, and so that's when I usually sit down, get some work done, and then go back to teaching. The second I put on my microphone for my second class, I it just hit me. I hit the floor. Literally. I could not get up. I could not move. I could not breathe. Luckily, the class I was in when it happened, there's only like two people in it, and they were very sweet. They stayed on the ground with me for an hour, um, just trying to help get me comfortable. One of them started rubbing my back. And um I have an injury in my back that occurred when I was 15. I was dropped in a lift. I was um, gosh, I don't even know the lifts anymore, the names. It's been so long.

SPEAKER_02 11:12

But he's not a dirty dancing lift, I don't know it.

SPEAKER_03 11:16

No. Um, I was a ballet dancer, and so in ballet, there's a fish dip, but he had me in a press where I was in like about to go into a fish. So he had me up in the air in the press, and then he lets go and cap uh catches me into a fish. Well, when he went up into the press, he lost control of me to the point where I landed on my back, he landed on top of me. Um, after that, my ribs have not been the same, my back has not been the same. Anytime I've overdone anything, the whole right side of my back spasms. The last time this happened, like a bad muscle spasm, I was maybe in my early 20s. Um, but it would get to the point where I could not get out of bed. And I know that with my body changing and having to make adjustments that I was not making, um, teaching normal classes, this aggravated it. And I fell to the ground. It was the scariest thing because I knew like where it was centrally located was also where my kidneys are. So in my brain, I'm going through all these scenarios of either I completely threw out my back or sprained something, tore something, or I'm going into kidney failure. Um I finally was able to stand up. When I stood up, everyone was very sweet. They're offering to take me home, help me with my dogs. Um, I, of course, refused all that and said I was good. I was going to take myself home. Um in that time period, too, on the ground. My husband had left that morning for work for quite some time. And so he was not reachable. But I, it's just like an act of God. I literally called his work phone at a one specific, like, five-minute break that he had and was on his phone. Other than that, I don't hear from this man for quite some time. And the fact that he was on his phone and answered, he knew like right away in my voice that he had to like come home. I just told him, like, hey, something happened. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm afraid, I'm scared. Um, I don't know how far you are now. And he immediately was transported back, which was really cool. I mean, yeah, got knock on wood, this doesn't happen again. But I know he'd be able to come back in a gif.

SPEAKER_02 13:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 14:00

Uh but anywho, me being the stubborn, hard-headed person I am, I drove myself home. And as I'm driving myself home, the pain just gets substantially worse. And so I'm clinching the steering wheel. I'm on the phone with my mom, because that's naturally what you do. You just call your mom in those situations. I started just like heavily breathing because I couldn't breathe anymore. She's freaking out. I'm like, I don't need you freaking out. And so she was like, you better not be going home to take out the dogs. I'm like, I have to, like, I don't know how long be. If I do take myself to the hospital, she's like, no, you need to call someone else. I'm like, I'm not thinking properly. I'm just thinking, like, I need to get home, take out the dogs, and then I'll go to the hospital. And this is when I lived in the apartments. And so I was on the third floor. I couldn't even walk up the stairs. I was clenching like onto the side, just like, I don't even know how I got up there. Got them on their leashes and just yeah, took them down. They peed, did their thing. And then I just got into the car and drove myself to the hospital. I should not have done that by myself because when the hospital's not user-friendly, I drove around for like 30 minutes trying to find which building. Because at the same time, I'm on the uh medical chat line with my doctor, but she wasn't available. She was in clinicals that day. And so her head nurse was talking to me. And I'm like, I don't know what building it is. She's like, go to the one with the flagpole. I'm like, there's two flagpoles. I don't know how which one. And so I just picked like building one, sure, and trying to find parking. Terrible. I had to drive all the way up to like the sixth floor for parking. And then I get into of course, all this happens, and it's like the hottest, most humid day on the planet. I finally get into the hospital, find the third floor. I'm like wobbling, holding on to my belly, holding on to my back, like not even being able to breathe. And I start to feel my belly start to like twitch and spasm too. And I was like, oh my gosh. I thank God I'm actually in the hospital. So if I do go down, someone will come get me and save me. Um found where I was supposed to be at triage. They got me in a room. I couldn't even get onto the hospital bed. Um, it was quite the experience, but my kidneys are fine. My back is not, it's better now. But I, of course, aggravated it, sprained it. I forget if it sprain or strain. I don't know which one.

SPEAKER_02 16:44

So this is my take on the situation. Yes. She texts me. Yeah. And she I'm paraphrasing here, but like, hi, something happened. I'm on my way to the hospital. I'm gonna I can't work the rest of the day. Great, just great. Thank you for the context. So I call her and I'm like, uh, what happened? And she's like, she tells me the story in the studio, but the back, her back giving out, and her, you know, I was like, okay, well, where are you? She didn't drag myself to the hospital. I'm like, okay. And then I was like, well, keep me updated, like, let me know when you get there. So an hour goes by and I don't hear from her. So I message her and I was like, hey, what's going on? She's like, Oh, I just got to the hospital. I'm checking in. And my brain, I'm like, where the fuck do you live? That it takes you an hour to get to the hospital. And then, you know, she updates me throughout her hospital journey and everything. And, you know, like they were, you know, besides her back, everything is okay. And then it comes out that she laid on the floor in the studio for an hour, as she just told us, call an ambulance at that point. Like, why are we laying on the floor? She drove herself home, took the dogs on a walk, then drove herself to the hospital, which was the hour gap I was missing in my timeline. I'm like, Ava, you need to learn. I love you. You need to learn to ask for help.

SPEAKER_03 18:04

That was a huge wake-up call because driving to the hospital, I was on the phone with my mom. Um, and she was great. She was just trying to calm me down, but that I was not in the right headspace to do that alone.

SPEAKER_01 18:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:20

And it's so hard because I live a life where I'm very independent. I have to like fend for myself, but I have to think of, I just have to be strong and independent constantly. And so, in that scenario, not having my husband there, not having family there, I have friends there. And I later texted the friends out here in Tennessee, just like apologizing and telling them what happened. And they all had the same reaction. They're like, Are you kidding me? Why would you do that by yourself? Like, if you would have called me, we would have been there in a heartbeat. Because, like, thank God my husband got there right before I was being discharged because they gave me muscle relaxers. And I was like, I can't drive. Like, yeah, I am not well. So, yeah, lesson learned. Call for help.

SPEAKER_02 19:17

Call for help, call lifeline.

SPEAKER_03 19:19

Call for help, call lifeline. Um, yeah. I just never want to Uber. I don't know. Yeah. I never want to inconvenience someone with my um problems or my situation, but you are just like Sydney today in our group chat. No, I know.

SPEAKER_02 19:38

And you were giving her the advice of ask for help, don't do too much.

SPEAKER_03 19:42

Yeah, exactly. I'm like, but also I never do this.

SPEAKER_02 19:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:49

I'm not one to talk. It is easier said than done. Um, but I'm doing okay. I just have to, you know, adjust my work, which I did. And, you know, I have people out here and you as well that keep me accountable because I was like kind of dragging my feet, uh adjusting the classes that I do teach. Because in my head, I'm like, okay, I could still teach that class, but I don't need to use the weights and I'll be fine. And then right when that thought came into my brain, like within like minutes later, one of my friends out here, shout out Kristen. I don't know if she listened, she better listen. Um, she texted me. She's like, Why are you still on the schedule for Define and Reform? I was like, Well, I think she's like, No, you can't. I'm like, okay, fine. Um so yeah, that happened. I was on pretty much bed rest for a week. I could not walk more than like a couple feet to the bathroom, couldn't even sit on the toilet, like terrible. I yeah, just like the simplest tasks were excruciating. Yeah, and it was a humbling experience. So lesson learned. Yeah. And then I had a birthday. Nothing happened. Nothing happened. Nothing happened. I'm not a huge birthday person, but it happened, and that day we did our final walkthrough of our new home, and we closed and we moved. And it's honestly um a miracle that my husband is still alive.

SPEAKER_02 21:29

I was wondering if we were gonna discuss this.

SPEAKER_03 21:31

Oh, we will.

SPEAKER_02 21:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 21:33

Um, so last week we moved, and we as not we, my husband only scheduled a moving truck for one day.

SPEAKER_02 21:44

I was like, might I add we so we talked about this in the last episode. I was like, hire movers you're not doing any of the packing. You guys were in a standoff on who was packing. And so when you say You got a moving truck for a day. I just want to clarify for everyone. It was not a moving truck with movers. He rented like a U-Haul.

SPEAKER_03 22:06

Yes, we rented a U-Haul.

SPEAKER_00 22:08

Thank you.

SPEAKER_03 22:10

I told my husband so many times, we need movers. Like, you don't understand how much crapola you have. He's like, oh no, no, we'll just like grab and go. It'll be fine. He had not, I mean, throughout the weekend um leading up to us closing, we had brought over some like clothes, some like miscellaneous items. So pretty much at that point, half of my personal belongings were already in the house. And so the day we moved, we had pretty much half the kitchen already packed. I did the rest of it that day. So everything from my personal belongings, things that we've collected together as um a partnership, as a marriage relationship, uh have been in the house since last Wednesday. And so we had my husband, my husband's father, and our good friend Michael out here. Shout out. Was so great. All of them were great. They got pretty much all the heavy stuff into the house. Now all the heavy stuff is still on the first floor.

SPEAKER_02 23:22

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 23:23

Where are you sleeping? Well, the the bed was disassembled and they assembled it uh in our bedroom. So that is at least up there. But other items are just hanging in our living space, living room.

SPEAKER_02 23:40

So plan for those?

SPEAKER_03 23:42

This weekend. Okay. My husband is scheduled to do that on his own. I can't wait to watch.

SPEAKER_02 23:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 23:49

And so, yeah, my husband realized this could not be done in one day. So from when we tried to warn him, truly, because he had the luxury the last time we moved, was out here to Tennessee. I had been working for months just getting things packed in boxes because when he came back home, um, he was home for a week and then we moved to Tennessee. In that week, I knew the last thing we want to do is pack. Like we want to spend time with family, we want to spend time with friends for this short amount of time. So I had everything ready to go. All he had to do was grab and drop off into the moving truck. And he did that all in one day. So in his brain, he's thinking, okay, how hard could this be? Same thing, same same. No, not same same. So Thursday, we're going back and forth, piling things in his car, piling things in my car, driving it to the house, dropping it off, going back to the apartment, doing the same thing.

SPEAKER_02 24:49

We why did he not just rent a truck for the second day?

SPEAKER_03 24:52

The man is a penny saver, anything to save a buck. But at that point, come, I think it was Saturday, he finally like stopped and like held me. He's like, I'm so sorry. But in that time period leading up to that, he one of the days we cut short because we're like, we need to just relax. So we went to the community pool in our new neighborhood. He takes off his wedding ring to go swim, puts his wedding ring, don't know, because he didn't want to lose it in the water.

SPEAKER_04 25:23

Got it, got it, got it.

SPEAKER_03 25:24

Yep. Yeah. And mind you, we were already in the water when he took it off. And I'm just hanging out on the ledge, just letting my body float, decompress. He sets his ring next to my water bottle and he tells me, Can you watch my ring? I'm like, I'm not watching your ring, keep it on. He's like, it's gonna fall off when I swim. I was like, no, it's not.

SPEAKER_02 25:42

What is he doing? Like the butterfly?

SPEAKER_03 25:44

No, he's just hanging out. He's just hanging around.

SPEAKER_02 25:48

So he's not swimming, he's standing in water.

SPEAKER_03 25:51

Yeah, just standing in water, just floating.

SPEAKER_02 25:54

Floating on a floaty, not freestyling.

SPEAKER_03 25:57

No, he's not Michael Phelps doing that stuff. And so, of course, an hour later, we're back at home. He leaves to go pick up dinner and he calls me. He's like, Hey, did you grab my ring? Like, no, I didn't grab your wedding ring. That's not my responsibility.

SPEAKER_02 26:15

No, I gave it to you once. You gotta grab it.

SPEAKER_03 26:17

I gave it to him once, lost it. Gave it to him twice, loses it again. So, third time, we're not doing anything. You get a silicone ring that you get to purchase on Amazon yourself. Um, so yes, wedding ring is nowhere to be found. And during this time period, that was Thursday, Friday comes around, and um I get love are the staff member, but she had an emergency dental situation. And so she could not teach the rest of the weekend at Bolshevik Studios. And it was a weekend where everybody's gone, nobody's available. I'm going back and forth to this damn apartment, back to the house. My husband doesn't have a wedding ring, and he's shattered something in the garage that was from our entertainment center, and I was about I was losing my cool. I lost it. And then my boss texted me the letter K in the middle of all this, and I literally boss using Katie.

SPEAKER_02 27:29

I was having my own moment and I didn't remember the moment you were having, so that was my bad. We were all having a moment, we'll talk about that later.

SPEAKER_03 27:38

We were all having a moment, but in that period of time, I just like broke down. But um, yeah, and then Sunday we were finally in the house and sat down on the couch to watch the Stanley Cup, and my husband scooches something very heavy across the floor so that we could look at the TV. As he's scooching this very heavy, large item, I'm watching just a very long scratch go across our brand new wood floor. And I just start laughing hysterically because there's no other emotion left in my body at this point. And he's like, What are you laughing at? I'm like, You, you fucking idiot! Look what you just did to the ground. And he just he felt so bad. He still feels terrible. He should because like you just bought this, look what you just did. Yeah, ruined it, ruined it, and yeah, he just felt terrible. And I'm like, don't look at me, don't touch me, don't even come near me. Like, I cannot do this, and so we have great neighbors that live behind us now, and one of the guys sits out on his little porch with cigars and has um bourbon during the weekend nights, and so he was like, I think I'm gonna go outside to the neighbors. I'm like, I think that's wise. And so his dad went to bed early because he was probably just like, I'm over this. I'm over this, I'm over these people. And I just turned on reality TV, caught up on my shows, tried to decompress. And yeah, here I am. How did you watch TV with no internet? We have um, what's that? Starlink. Ah, yeah. Yep. Shout out.

SPEAKER_02 29:38

We just got one for the trailer.

SPEAKER_03 29:40

Yeah. It was super slow. And so one, I had to watch him try to figure out how to set up Starlink in all the areas and locations outside the house in order to get signal. He finally got it. Scooch is this heavy uh duty item, and I'm just like, Alright, I need to yell at Eric because his TV's way too loud. Yes. And then the next day I had uh my glucose test, passed it, but you know, my blood levels were a little off because obviously Yeah, you been through trauma in the last week. So much, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:18

Induced by your husband, who some man on the internet thinks is not gonna miss you when you die. So there's that.

SPEAKER_03 30:26

Men, we'll get to that. That will be our dramatic reading.

SPEAKER_02 30:30

Yes, since we did not know.

SPEAKER_03 30:31

What the men have to say. It's like, you know, we're only here to help you. I don't know how many times I had to tell my husband the same thing over and over again. You don't they literally have to experience it and go through the torture of it all in order to come to realization that we were right all along.

SPEAKER_02 30:52

Yeah. They really are an interest, it's an interesting species of the animal kingdom, the men.

SPEAKER_03 30:58

Oh, absolutely. I mean, let me just say I do love my husband so much, and he did buy me this home. And I appreciate everything that he does. But you know, can you listen to me?

SPEAKER_02 31:12

Yeah, make there's just not another way to say it.

SPEAKER_03 31:15

Can you listen to me?

SPEAKER_02 31:17

Listen, but you're listening yours on, like I tell my children. Yeah. Are you listening yours on? There's one thing about hearing, and there's another thing about listening. Those are two different phenomons. Sometimes they don't understand that hearing is not listening. No. My husband also has his own inner monologue that just constantly runs in his brain, so he never listens to me. And but like the one man on Instagram said a few weeks ago he would hate to be married to me if he had to listen to me all day. So maybe did we talk about this?

SPEAKER_03 31:48

No, but that will be our dramatic reading.

SPEAKER_02 31:51

Well, that one got deleted.

SPEAKER_03 31:53

Oh, you had a screenshot.

SPEAKER_02 31:55

Okay, so we'll do both of them.

SPEAKER_03 31:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:57

Okay. Well, what an interesting time you've had.

SPEAKER_03 32:00

It's been quite the month.

SPEAKER_02 32:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:02

But some exciting news. Tomorrow, which is Friday, the 12th. I officially will be in my third trimester.

SPEAKER_02 32:13

Yay, and you're taking tomorrow off because you were supposed to take today off, but I forgot.

SPEAKER_03 32:16

I totally forgot that too. And then I was like, I should probably stop working. So I didn't really work that much, and then just did the house things. So yeah, they were fine today.

SPEAKER_02 32:30

They were fine.

SPEAKER_03 32:32

Anywho, that's me. Let's get into your fun times.

SPEAKER_02 32:36

Not as fun as yours. Um I've just been like busy talking about. You went to Europe. Went to Europe for far too short of a time.

SPEAKER_03 32:47

It was a short amount of time.

SPEAKER_02 32:49

And I know that sounds annoying, but like when you think about flying somewhere for 11 hours, travel, yeah. You lose basically half a day just in a time change alone, plus the the travel times you're basically losing a whole day on the way there. You gain it on the way back. But um, we were supposed to go for two weeks. We went with Kelsey and Jason. Kelsey and Jason just came home today. We got back a week ago. Um shout out hashtag Jason Utter. Jason Utter, hashtag. Um but our dear loving cousin Tyler decided that this past weekend was the perfect weekend to get married. Mazzle. Um, after we had planned our trip. We hadn't booked flights yet because I was waiting to book and because I knew that this weekend was floating out there. But yeah, our people in the family that I think I'm crazy asked Kelsey. We had had this trip planned for a year. Um, anyway, so we pivoted. We did, we were gonna do other spots in Europe that were like a little bit more like off the beaten path, as far as like not in major cities. So we are talking about doing like Publia in Sicily. Um, because Garrett and I, so basically we left on a Thursday night. We landed Friday evening in Rome by the time we got there. Um, and then we were so tired that we slept in until like one o'clock the next day. Kelsey and Jason got there later that afternoon. So really we had Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. We had five full days plus essentially half a day on Saturday because we spent the other half sleeping. So five and a half days, but one of those days is a travel day between Rome and Paris. So real in reality, we had like because we left first thing Friday morning to come back for the wedding. So in reality, we had like basically five days of actual activity time. And it was great, but it was very driven.

SPEAKER_03 34:38

Yeah, because you're trying to like rush everything into like a certain amount of time and days.

SPEAKER_02 34:43

Like yeah. There's only there's only so much you can do.

SPEAKER_03 34:46

So much you can do. And I feel like you guys were in Paris for literally a day.

SPEAKER_02 34:50

Yeah. So we Saturday night when Kelsey and Jason got there, we had a cooking class booked with like this amazing woman. It was at her ho house, her kids were there, like um, highly recommend. It was amazing. So good. And then we kind of just like walked around and like went to bars and stuff. And then Sunday, we had initially planned to go to this little beach town, but it was like an hour outside of Rome, and they had like a beach club and stuff. We're like, we don't want to be in a car for an hour, we just traveled all the way here. So Kelsey found a really nice hotel because we were staying at Airbnb that has a spa. And if you bought a 45-minute spa treatment, you got access to their rooftop pool for the whole day. So that was nice because we did like massages and we did a pool day, and it was so god ungodly hot in Rome. Um, at least for this time of year. I was I walked outside and I was sweating. It was I never I hate sweating, it's the worst thing.

SPEAKER_03 35:46

Is it humid there or it's just like Arizona?

SPEAKER_02 35:49

It wasn't like it was a yeah, it was probably a little humid. It wasn't like East Coast humid right now, but it was just like it was a mixture for sure, but it just it was just hot and the sun just beat. Um that Tuscan sun. The Tuscan sun. And then last minute on Sunday, we booked this Vespa tour, which was actually super fun. So it was a Vespa tour.

SPEAKER_04 36:10

That looked so awesome.

SPEAKER_02 36:12

Yeah, it the informative historical level of this tour was a two out of ten. You were just there for a good time. Like you're just there for the vibes. So one person's sitting behind the driver on the Vespa, the other person's sitting in a sidecar. So of course we want the boys to sit in the sidecar. Yeah. But for some reason, our driver kept insisting we switch, and I'm like, I don't want to sit in the sidecar. I want to sit on I want him to sit in the level sidecar. It's kind of scary being in the sidecar. Yeah, I liked sitting on the Vespa more. Yeah. But these guys were just no fucks given. They're racing each other like through the streets of Roche.

SPEAKER_03 36:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 36:47

Safety was questionable, but we had such a fun time. We I saw the one cyber truck I saw in all of Europe. And time, like, we're talking about it, and the the driver's like, What? And I was like, the cyber truck. He's like, What's with the cyber truck? And Garrett's like, Oh, she has an Instagram account and she posts cyber trucks in the wild and like makes fun of them and tags them or whatever. And so our driver like weaves through traffic at the stopped light so that I can pull up next to the cyber truck and take a selfie with it. What a real one! It has a bumper sticker on it that says, Don't mess with Texas in Rome, Italy. I'm so confused. I want to meet this person, but I did get a selfie with the car. So do not meet the terrible vehicle. Side note, in France, they are actually not street legal. So we did not see any of those. The cyber trucks? Yeah, they're not. That's interesting. Pourqua. They have it's because of how much they weigh. Like they're not too heavy for the roads or something. Like you need a special license to drive them or something. Like they're treated as more of like a commercial truck versus like a Interessant. Something like that. Jason shot GBT it when we were wondering why we didn't see one cyber truck in all of France. Maybe the just smarter than the rest of the world. Um and then the next day was a little bit of a rough day. The jet lag finally hit, so Kelsey and I didn't go to bed until like 2 a.m. because we were watching Gotham Girl, as we do. And we had an 8:30 a.m. tour of the Vatican, which I'm glad we went early because it could have been hotter. But for whatever reason, for the majority of the museum portion of the Vatican, they did not have the AC on. And even our tour, it was like, it's just so weird, they always have the AC on. Like, I don't know why it's not hot. I was dying. It was so hot and stuffy in there. Towards the end, the AC kicks on. And then we grapped some lunch, go back to the Airbnb to change, and then we had a tour of the Coliseum, the Roman Forum in Palatine Hill. So it was in total, probably were six to seven hours of walking tours that day. And when I tell you, my back was done. I it was done. I we were going to a very nice dinner that night, which, if you're ever in Rome, go to Aroma. It's the most incredible restaurant. Um, it's Michelin starred, it's a set menu, so you you get stuff you probably would never typically order, but it was all incredible. Of course, and it has a view, it's a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Coliseum, and it's all lit up at night and it's beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 39:22

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_02 39:22

But we're waiting for our Uber to take us to the restaurant, and I sneeze. Oh, my allergies decided to have a whole moment and be the star of the show in Europe. I think I attribute it to the cigarette smoke. I just I can't do it. Um, but it's interesting, it's the first time it's ever. No, last time I was in Europe, it happened too, and I had to get allergy pills too. I just keep forgetting to bring them with me.

SPEAKER_03 39:45

Anyways, those Italian SIGs, though, they are I lived with um an eclectic group of people. Yeah. And there were some girls from Italy, and they would sit on the um stoop of the the fire escape. Uh not the fire escape, but I was outside of your like walk-up, yeah. But my room was right above the stoop, and I would sit on the fire escape some nights, and the SIGs these girls were smoking. I wanted to die. I was like, like, how are you alive? Like, how are you dancing every single day with this in your woman?

SPEAKER_02 40:28

I don't know what they're smoking over there, but I mean, granted, we have very man, they're so cool. Yeah, I mean, all the girls there are so cool. Want to be that when I'm right reincarnated, but just so nonchalant, just so Rome and France and Paris, like I my allergies could not keep up. It I was at one point my eyes were so red and puffy. It like I I looked, I don't even know what I looked like. It was bad. I was just ripping all my eyelashes out because I was my eyes were itching so bad. I was sneezing up the yin yang. Finally, on like the second to last day, I got allergy meds, or maybe it was the last day. Anyway, but I was standing waiting for this Uber and I s sneezed and my whole back gave out and I fent bent in half. Like I was just messed over. Pulled an Ava. I pulled a Nava. I was sympathy, I was sympathy pains. Um I appreciate it. But what I did do is I knew that all this walking, because I'm not a walker, um was going to cause my back to have issues. And so I brought my tiger balm patches. So I put one of those on for the rest of the trip and it was better. But um, anyway, so we did that, and then the next morning we went to Paris. We did another motorcycle sidecar tour, which we had pre-booked. The other one we booked like an hour or two before. Um, that one it's the road regulations in Paris are very much more enforced than Rome because there was rules and like the guys were super nice, but um, like we had to wear these like gloves, the whole like motorcycle gloves the whole time, so we couldn't really like take photos. Um, it was much more informative. We weren't like sport to Paris. Yeah, but we weren't like speeding through the streets, we were following the road rules, and it was fine. The fun part is out of nowhere it started hailing on us while we were on the motor bikes and sidecars. But luckily we had um helmets on because safety. So they were just bouncing off the uh the helmets there. Yeah, I held for like five minutes and then it stopped. Um, and then the next day we did what did we do the next day? Oh, we did Disney Paris. So I had been there with my daughter and I loved the park. It's Disney Paris is like incredible, and it's also the two times I've not been there, not crowded in the slightest as compared to California Disney. Uh they had opened a new World of Frozen Land, which wasn't open when I went prior, and so that was really cool. And we did a 12-hour day there, which is obscene. Like, I don't if I go to Disneyland here, the most I'm doing is four hours. Honestly. We're lucky that we have passes, and so we don't feel like we have to go all day. When we go to Orlando and do Disney there, we'll we break up the day and we go back to the hotel midday. Like when it's really hot, so we'll go morning, back to the hotel, chill for a while, and then go back to the parks at night. But a 12-hour straight Disney day, my God, that was a whole situation.

SPEAKER_03 43:35

That's a doozy.

SPEAKER_02 43:36

And then the last day we did a tour of Notre Dame, which was really cool because it was closed the last time because of the fire that I went there, so I never got to see it. And it's amazing. And all the fire restoration work they've done is really incredible. And then we met up with some friends that are from here, but the husband's from Paris and his family all lives there, so they go there every summer. So yeah, walking around Paris with a Parisian. Um yeah. Wee. And then we that night we did we did some shopping. We went to Harry's Bar, which was originally in New York, and then they like kind of basically moved everything to this one in Paris. So I had like all of the collegiate flags from all the colleges in America, and like it's it's all they had hot dogs and it was great. Love. And then we went to dinner for Kelsey's birthday. That was her actual birthday. And then the next morning we flew home. And then we flew into LAX and we had to go to Santa Monica for the sweating, which in theory is like seven miles. It took us an hour to get there because the 405 freeway was closed just north of LAX because of a uh police chase that ended in a shooting on the freeway. And so we took side streets, but the rest of the just another day in LA. Yeah, just another day. Took us an hour to go, seven miles.

SPEAKER_03 45:01

Nothing's worse than driving to Santa Monica. I'm sorry. Santa Monica and what's underneath it? Venice?

SPEAKER_02 45:11

Venice. Terrible.

SPEAKER_03 45:13

Terrible. I've only done that a few times in my life, but enough to never do it again.

SPEAKER_02 45:17

So let me just preface this. If you are coming to California, do not go to LA.

unknown 45:23

Do not come.

SPEAKER_02 45:24

Like people will tell me things like, oh, so you know, these girls like, you know, she lives in a college town. So like, oh, we're going to like Hollywood. Like, where should we go?

SPEAKER_03 45:35

Anywhere else. Not there. Anywhere else.

SPEAKER_01 45:38

Do not go to LA.

SPEAKER_03 45:40

But we want to see the stars on the Hollywood like boulevard and like look, look at the colour. There's human shit on them. Like, you're going to see a homeless encampment of people burning shit on the freaking sidewalks. I saw someone going to the bathroom number two at a bus stop while I was at a stoplight. I look over and I see poop coming out of this man's butt.

SPEAKER_02 46:02

Yep. We have that's what you will see.

SPEAKER_03 46:04

And then a little sprinkle of Elmo and Mickey. Timu Elmo and Mickey.

SPEAKER_02 46:09

My at my last job, we had a property in Little Tokyo, and we were there on a tour and we're walking out to go. It was like two build over two blocks this like property span. And so we're walking to across the street to go to the next building. And yep, a man of the streets just decided to pull down his pants right in front of us and just start peeing. And I was like, nail. Welcome down to the colour. Um Santa Monica's not much better. The wedding was beautiful. Beth and Ty we love you. I don't think you guys listen to the podcast. Congrats. Congrats. We're super happy for you.

SPEAKER_00 46:43

What episode they watched. This is gonna be the one they watched. That's time, Beth. We're so happy. Super happy.

SPEAKER_02 46:48

Beth looks beautiful. The wedding was amazing. Um, but I will never be going back to Santa Monica by choice. So there's that. If you live in Santa Monica, you're doing the Lord's work out there, and good for you. But it's not for me. To be fair, I don't put at the beaches here. I don't go to Huntington Beach. I don't go to Newport Beach. If I go to Newport Beach, I'm going to Nobu. Or I work there because I do, basically on the border. So I'm going to Fashion Island or I'm going on a boat. I don't like standing.

SPEAKER_03 47:16

It's different when you've grown up around it. And that's something I've learned moving away, is that you definitely take it for granted because you grow up going to the beach constantly. Like we grew up, what, 20 minutes away, 20 less than 30 minutes away from the beaches and less than 20 minutes away from Disneyland. And so we've had in our lives, like we're very blessed that that's nearby. But when I lived there as an adult, like I can't tell you the last time I put my feet in the ocean.

SPEAKER_02 47:48

The only time I go to the beach is if I'm going to like in California, the only beaches I'm going to are at um what's the camping Newport Dunes in Newport. There's a campground there. So sometimes sometimes we do staycations, or sometimes like the girls can also have like a little beach day there. And it's like a kind of a bit secluded cove, so it you don't have like waves and stuff. Sometimes in like just north of Santa Barbara, we go, there's some campsites we go to up there, and so we'll go to the beaches. Yeah. To be clear, I hate sand. I detest it. I think it's dirty. It just it's I even when we like Hawaii has like we go to Maui. It's this compared to California beaches, it's the softest, like most luxe sand. Yeah. I don't even like walking on that. So this is not a knock on Santa Monica specifically. There's other reasons to knock Santa Monica, but I just don't like beaches. I don't like sand. I want to look at it. I don't want to be on it. I like being on a boat. I don't like being on the sand. I just it's me. You're a Star Wars fan. Yeah. Okay, so remember like in episode two when Anakin is with Padme on Naboo and he's like, she's talking about they're talking about tattooing, and he's like, something about how there's sand and it just gets everywhere. And I'm like, dude, speak to me. Like, just talk dirty to me at this point. Like, that's exactly how I feel. Gets everywhere, gets in your eyes, it gets oh, it just never speaks.

SPEAKER_03 49:22

Tattooing is a little different than the beach.

SPEAKER_02 49:25

It's sand. It's all sand. It's sand.

SPEAKER_03 49:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:31

Don't send me to tattooing. I'm a Naboo bitch, okay?

SPEAKER_03 49:33

No, send me to the underwater world of what's his name?

SPEAKER_02 49:38

That's on Naboo. Where Jar Jar Binks lives.

SPEAKER_03 49:41

Jar Jar Binks.

SPEAKER_00 49:42

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03 49:43

I don't remember the name of his little world. So much hate for liking Jar Jar Binks.

SPEAKER_02 49:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 49:49

Mista, Mista. We're just a couple of cool gals. Like, look at us talking about Star Wars, using it as reference. Like, the men can go away.

SPEAKER_02 50:04

So episode one is like one of my favorite Star Wars movies. And when that movie came out, McDonald's, as McDonald's does, did like a Star Wars collab. Yes. And the amount of times I made my parents go take me to McDonald's just to try to get the Padme Cup was like obscene.

SPEAKER_03 50:22

And then I know exactly what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_02 50:24

Yes. And then for Halloween that year, I had to be Padme. And like the costume was like the one at the beginning when she's got like the hair around in the red dress. And it was literally so embarrassing. It was like this plastic headdress of fake hair, but it wasn't. We need this photo. I don't even know. We need the photo. Debbie probably has it. She does have it somewhere. She knows Debbie has it. I'm just like, I still remember. I was like, this is it. It's not like a real headdress. It's just like I love that. Plastic. And it was cheap. Like if you looked at it from behind, it would look like just white plastic on my head. It was iconic.

SPEAKER_03 51:04

I can't really remember much of my childhood, but I do remember one Halloween. I was a Southern bell.

SPEAKER_02 51:13

And like gone with the wind.

SPEAKER_03 51:16

I had a petticoat. I had an umbrella, gloves, the whole thing. I was one step away of being a plantation owner, pretty much.

SPEAKER_00 51:27

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 51:29

Wild. But I walked things. Yeah. I knocked on those doors with confidence, saying I was a Southern bell. Trick-or-treat.

SPEAKER_02 51:38

That's such a random thing to want to be for Halloween.

SPEAKER_03 51:41

I don't know. I think I was just into like dresses at that time, and it looked pretty and fun and control, you know, do my thing.

SPEAKER_02 51:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 51:52

It's just a petite little thing. Little girly girl.

SPEAKER_02 51:55

Girly girl. Um, okay. Well, an hour, and that was just talking about what we've been doing. So I'm gonna pull an Audible and say we're gonna save our actual topic for next week because it's actually a really good one. And I just don't think at this time of the night we can give it the attention it deserves. And I think that we should just go straight into our reality. There's so much to talk about in the news. So much. We just need to focus on that, and then we'll film next week and we'll have more time to dedicate to this very important topic.

SPEAKER_03 52:31

Perfect. I love it. Just this is just a little catch-up with this is just a catch-up with the girls.

SPEAKER_02 52:36

Katie, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 52:37

Catch up with the gals.

SPEAKER_02 52:38

Catch up with the gals. This is what we've been up to. That's why we haven't been filming. She's been injured, moving. I've been out of town, tired. Oh yeah, they didn't talk about my 15-hour day yesterday. Wild. So this is my day. Does anyone want to day in LA? I have very little, and this is my I know not everyone's like me. I know not everyone can operate the same level I can. Um, but I please don't tell me you're tired, or that you don't have time to do X, Y, and Z, or you can't add on to your plate this day, because this was my day yesterday. I woke up at 4 45 in the morning. I subbed two classes, one at 5 30, one at 6 30, which I love the fact that people love our 5 30 a.m. classes. It as far as to teach. It it I'm not a morning class. I'm not 6 a.m.er for a client, like as a client, and it's we've talked about this before. It's very different showing up to take a class than it is to teach class at that time of the morning. Anyway, I so I taught reform and then define.

SPEAKER_03 53:50

Then I got which let me tell you, teaching those two back to back, you might as well just like cut the show. Yeah. Be done for the day.

SPEAKER_02 53:58

And I learned two entirely new classes for it.

SPEAKER_03 54:01

Like the energy, I mean, energy in general was teaching, but those two specifically back to back.

SPEAKER_02 54:08

It takes it was a lot, and I do feel bad for my 530 AMRs in reform because I feel like I was half awake for the first half of the class.

SPEAKER_03 54:15

They were probably half awake themselves, so you know they yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 54:20

I got no complaints, but I just felt it in my soul. They're just happy to be teaching, and you're just like, that wasn't my best class. That was that was me after that class. And you're allowed to feel that way. So also, no offense to the playlist gods, but I you know, blind picked a playlist as I do when I teach. And I just wasn't feeling it. And so, like through after the third song, I had prepped another playlist to switch to because I was like, it just it just isn't my playlist, it wasn't giving me the vibes I wanted. It was fine, it just wasn't I think most of it. Wasn't doing it, didn't have words, and that sometimes bothers me. Like so I swe I just blind select another playlist, and two of the songs that were in my first three songs were later on in that playlist. And I was just like, you know, it's just what are the odds? It's I was meant to listen to these songs twice, and so are the people in my class, and that's what they did. Yeah. Um, but then they crushed my 6:30 class. It was awesome. Go home, change, get ready, take my son to summer camp, go to work, do my normal midday Pilates break, go back to work, go to the other studio, teach two more classes, get home at 710 at night. So at this point, I've essentially been out of the house. I mean, I went home very quickly to change and pick up my son for 15 hours, a little over 15 hours, I think. Something along those lines. Sit down on the couch. My husband had ordered Taco Bell. I slam a cheesy bean rice burrito, wasn't doing it for me. Then I ordered pho, had two bites because I was full at that point now. And when I the problem I have with teaching in the evenings is it takes me so long to wind down after teaching. It does I taught reform and to empower, which are two high-energy classes. And so, yeah, I taught reform, defying, reform, empower. And I don't think I went to bed until almost 11 last night. I had to take a bath to like help settle my brain because I was just like buzzing. Yeah. I had to wake up at 4 45 again this morning to teach 6 and 7 a.m. again. So this is all my humble brag of saying, like, whatever's holding you back in life, that could have been your 24 hour period. So just show up and just show up and do it. Like we're running on adrenaline. Feather messaged me on Instagram when I posted my like rundown of my day, and she's like, I honestly don't understand how you did that all in one day. And I was like, Well, I woke up at 4 45 for starters, and she's like, Oh, yes, I see now. And I was like, because she's not, she's notoriously so we I scheduled a brunch on Saturday before the wedding. Yeah. And is she not a morning person either? Um and she's like, is there anything we can do later? And I'm like, What?

SPEAKER_03 57:27

I'm so jealous of people that could sleep in like that. My sister is one of those people where I don't know if she's like that in today's day and age, but growing up, she could sleep in until like 11 o'clock. I'm like, how? My body my natural body alarm is 6 a.m.

SPEAKER_02 57:47

No, her and Derek will spend the night sometimes, like if we're at our house drinking, because they don't want to drive as they should, not drive home. And so they'll stay the night. There are days where we have to get to like a kid's sporting thing, and she's still sleeping. And we we just leave them. We're like, okay, bye, we gotta go. Totally fine. Like, I don't care. But Derek's like, get up, we gotta go, we gotta go. He doesn't call her feather, we call her feather. But like, I'm like, that's I wish I could sleep like that. Like, I know you know what you have that talent, girl. You don't let it go. Don't start waking up at 4 45 because it won't stop once you do. No, and yeah, it's it is quite a talent she has because she was like, uh, is there any way we can do like later? And I'm like, well, we have to uh I think the guys are gonna help like Ty get ready, and like I just I don't want to push it too late. And then Wes is like, can we do it at 9 a.m.? And I'm like, I feel like ten to compromise between nine and eleven. Meanwhile, I had a whole breakfast before I went to brunch because I woke up at six in the morning and then no, I will oh um this is a whole I was so tired Friday night. We were at the welcome party. I hit a wall, so I went to bed at 7 p.m. And I was like, I gotta go back to the room. I'm exhausted. Garrett's like, I'm just gonna go smoke a cigar, I'll be back later. This hotel, it was a very nice hotel, like right on the main ocean boulevard. I don't know if it's called ocean, but like the main street, right across from the pier. And I had been asleep for maybe 30 minutes. At this point, it's like 7:45. My hotel phone rings, and it's like the most like ear rattling ring. I think it's the next morning at this point, because that's how deep of asleep I was in, and like all the lights I had left on because I thought my husband was coming right back.

unknown 59:31

Really?

SPEAKER_02 59:31

Um, so I was trying to be nice and like leave the lights on for him. And I'm like, hello. They're like, hi, it's the front desk. Um, we have a delivery for you in your room, but your do not disturb sign is on. So we wanted to know if it's okay to deliver it. And I'm like, first off, you have missed the point of the do not disturb. Do not disturb by calling me and disturbing me to ask if you could knock on my door and disturb me. Yeah. And it ended up being so like when you checked in, like if you were a wedding guest, they had Beth and Taya prepare these cute little bags of like snacks for the weekend and like, you know, Advil and Waters and all that kind of stuff. It was another one of those bags, which I had already got when I checked in. I don't know why they were bringing it to me. I was so mad. And so my brain, I'm like, so I look at my peep poll and I see just a man, he had like the hotel logo on his shirt, but he's just like standing there with a bag, and I'm like, you better not try to push in this room and attack me. So I just like stick my hand out and death stare him, like, give me the bag. I just go fucking like so mad, so mad. And then my husband strolls at what I think is like midnight. Allegedly, according to evidence, I was provided the next day, it was only 10 p.m. But still in my longest cigar ever. I was like, had all the lights on waiting for you. After I got the bag, I turned the lights off. I'm like, fuck it, I'm over it at this point. Yeah. So because I went to bed at 7 p.m. essentially the night before, I woke up at like 5 30 in the morning the next morning. I'm like, hey guys, ready to go to bridge? Jokingly, obviously, but yeah, no, I ordered Starbucks delivery, had a whole breakfast before. I yeah. So, feather, we love you, and we love that you can sleep so long, but we are jealous. God bless.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:04

Very jealous. Very jealous. What a time.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:10

Uh that was where we've been.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:12

I totally forgot something. I did something crazy, something wild.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:19

Wow. Tell me.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:21

I had cottage cheese.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:24

Ew. Okay, so I've been. Can you have cottage cheese? Is it dairy?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:30

No, it is dairy. So I have been adding a little bit of dairy into my food lately.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:37

And oh, that's good because you don't want the baby to have an allergy. Yes. You gotta microdose it.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:43

So I have not had any, like, I mean, I'm gassy and whatnot, but I'm not vomiting or shitting my pants. Good. It's a miracle.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:54

The baby's fixed you.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:56

He yeah, he's fixed me.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:58

He's fixed you. So who could have normal cheese?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:02

I had last week. I had pizza last week. I had like four slices of pizza. Amazing. I was pretty ghastly, but I didn't poop my pants. I didn't chart.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:18

I mean, they're gassy after I had pizza. Who isn't, you know?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:21

Yeah. And then I've I need to add like more protein into my diet. Um, and so I'm not gonna be like eating meat like constantly, which I love eating meat, but right now all the rage is cottage cheese. That's what I see on everyone's feed right now, with all these cute little fit girls eating their cottage cheese.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:44

Isn't it very tart?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:46

A little bit, yeah. What is it like? I don't mind it. It tastes like a cottage of cheese.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:52

Is it cheesy?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:54

Yeah, it's like clumpy.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:58

So honey on it.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:01

I put it on toast and uh eggs.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:05

Interesting.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:06

And so I uh have had that the last three days. The first day uh it made me like just like a little rumbly in the tumbly. Yeah, and so I was like, oh, maybe I just need to get used to it. Second day, felt a little bit better. Today, had it again, totally fine. Good, wild, wild. Isn't it crazy? A whole new world, a whole new chapter. And so I knew you. There's a restaurant that we go out to out here too a lot. Um, shout out Elkmont Station. Love them, so good. Wow, chef's kiss. But the head bartender there, he knows my struggle with being dairy free. And so we were there maybe like two weeks ago when I was starting to like dabble into dairy, and I ordered something, and he was like, This has dairy in it. I was like, Nathan, I think I'm good. Like, I think this pregnancy changed me. He's like, no way, he was so excited. He was like about to bring me ice cream. I was like, Whoa, slow your old dude. Yeah, we'd like to go. We're not quite there yet. And so I had just like a pasta dish with um some like cheese on it. And we went back last week with my father-in-law, and he was behind the bar and we were sitting at a table, and so we had a different server, and halfway through the meal, the server comes like running over and he's like, I was supposed to ask you about your dairy allergy. I was like, You tell Nathan, I'm a changed woman.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:37

I'm a changed woman. No, it's so funny because like they say that you're A, with age, your allergies can change and for the better or worse, but also with pregnancy, they can change too. So that's really good.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:52

I know. I'm stoked because it was such a tragic day when I found out that I was lactose intolerant. I remember that day vividly. It it was a terrible time.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:03

There was somewhere I was at with you and Kelsey, and uh essentially all there was was fish and dairy. And so she couldn't eat the fish, she can't eat the dairy. I don't remember, was it my vow renewal? Because we had pizza and oysters. Yes. But like then, like there was like grilled trees.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:23

I can't eat, she can. And what she can't eat, I can. Yeah, so you guys have like make up for each other.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:30

Yeah, but there was somewhere where it was like majority of the food you guys couldn't eat. And I was just like, I forget where it was.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:37

Was it us in Kelsey or was it when you took the team to the management team to uh Nobu that one time?

SPEAKER_02 1:05:45

No, because you can eat stuff at Nobu. Yeah. They have No, I do remember we were somewhere, was it in Vegas? I don't know where we were, but I took you guys somewhere. It might or it might have just been my bow and rule. Like half the food you couldn't eat, half the food she couldn't eat.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:58

I just like loaded up on All the hot dogs. I think I ate majority of those hot dogs.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:04

So good. I love a glizzy.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:06

Oh, it was great. But yeah, exciting times. I'm not ready to try ice cream, like not going to but at least ice cream is like good goat milk alternatives and stuff.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:19

Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's change. Just isn't the same. No, like sheep milk, like ice cream is good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:06:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:27

Change life.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:28

Change life. Well, congratulations. I'm very happy for you. Thank you. I'm very excited about this new journey. Um, excited to uh taste things that I've been missing out on over the last 12 years.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:44

Yeah. I think if someone told me I couldn't eat pizza anymore, I would just not. And like bean and cheese burritos. I just wouldn't listen to them. I would just take the hits as they come.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:55

You know, and people say that to me and they're like, why don't you just like I have a dairy allergy too, but I just like power through. I'm like, you don't understand. I powered through for maybe a year or two, and it got to the point where it's not socially acceptable for me to be pooping my pants everywhere I go. Like I cannot be doing that. And the last time, the first time it came out of both ends, like TMI, sorry, everyone. Like just cute fun facts about us.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:26

But and then I'd say us is me. I don't have this affliction.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:29

Cute fun facts about me. But and then I would have just like very close calls. And then the last time it yeah, that was a wake-up call. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:43

Well glad you fixed it. I had um a doctor appointment yesterday on top of the rest of my day. And I uh do an in-body scan. And have you ever done have you done one of those? No. Well, did you hear that? Not really.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:00

You know, when you like the reverse burp. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:05

Yeah. Um but I did an in-body scan and I was the funny thing about going to Europe is that you eat a shit ton of food because the food is so good. But you walk a lot, so then I'm like, okay, I'm offsetting it. But I felt so much bigger and bloaty like since I've been back. And so I did not want to step on the scale. I don't appreciate scales.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:31

I don't believe in scales.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:33

But I stepped on it and I had lost three pounds and since ago when I was there last. And I was like, even though I I don't feel like I am better. It's just the food there is so much cleaner and like healthier, and like it's just it's just different. So whatever. I see the number and then it gives you like a whole report, which I don't read, obviously. I'm just like, cool, I lost weight. And um, I'm on the phone. Uh I didn't have time to stay in the office for an appointment, so I just really did quickly did the embody scan, and then she FaceTimed me later for my consultation. And she's like, Okay, so you like lost three pounds, but your skeletal muscle mass also went down like a pound and a half, so you need to be eating more protein. And I'm like, girl, I was just in Europe for a week, and all I ate was pasta. Just straight spaghetti marinara and marinara or margarita pizzas. Like I'll get back on the protein. But this week was not my week for that. It was all about carbs, cheese, and chip sauce.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:44

All the beautiful things.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:45

I mean protein and cheese, but probably not enough.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:53

Back on the protein. Love that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:57

Yeah. I I need to get more protein. Cottage cheese.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:03

Highly recommend. Highly recommend. I need to tell you about this terrible meal on the way back. So as some people know, my husband didn't play the credit card game right last year. And so he did not get Delta Diamond status, which meant he didn't have global upgrade certificates to get a business class upgrade on our flights. I did. So he was like, it's fine. I'm just gonna pay for the seats. And he never booked them. And then the war started in Iran, and then he went to book them two months before our trip. And the prices were astronomical. And so he's like, I'm not paying that. I'm like, well, are you just not gonna go on the trip? Like in my mind, I just didn't even register that he would sit and coach because this is how like annoying we are. And he's like, Well no, it's fine, I'll just sit and coach. And I'm like, Okay, but like you know, I'm I'm still sitting in business. Like, I I got these seats, so that's where I'm sitting. He's like, Okay, that's fine. So we try to get him an upgrade on the way out. Like, if you we've done it before where you, if you go to the gate, like at the airport, they'll sell the tickets at a significant discount to what they've been trying to do because they just want to fill the seats and they'd rather get some money than no money for them. They were sold out. So he sat, he made a great friend. He sat next to this 95-year-old woman, and she told him her whole life story, and she was very sweet, and he did not apparently get up once to go to the bathroom the entire 11-hour plane flight. She's like, You were the best seat mate I've ever had. You didn't get up once. Super sweet. Um but on the way back, there was a ton of open seats and business, and so we did the thing. We got to the airport and we got him the upgrade. And I do I do like the the food out was really good. The food back when it was a breakfast meal. And I looked at the menu and none of it was speaking to me. So I was like, I'll just have you can either get like the full breakfast, or it was a continental breakfast, which was just like yogurt, a pastry, and some of the like sides. I was like, I just want the yogurt, like it was just plain yogurt, I just want plain yogurt with some honey. I wasn't that hungry, anyways. I wanted to go to sleep. Yeah, and so she but she brings me the whole, she didn't really understand what I was trying to say. So she brought me the whole continental breakfast tray. I was like, whatever, I'm just gonna eat the yogurt. There was this thing on my one of the side dishes. I was like, curious. I was like, that looks interesting. So I poke it and it's like squishy. And I'm like, huh. And then I lift my finger up and my finger reeks of fish. It was smoked halibut. Oh I thought I was gonna vomit. The smell was disgusting, disgusting. It was so bad. I'm like, A, love your hands. If you eat this for breakfast, you're unhinged. It the smell, oh my god, I could not. So I very quickly ate my yogurt and then I had to put it on your fingers. Yes. I went dispectin my fingers. I know. I washed my hands like three times, put lotion on. I covered my plate twice with napkins, like put two napkins over it just to try to mask the smell because it was just what like wafting into my nose at this point. I thought I was gonna purl on this plane. And terrible. Yeah, so please don't serve smoked halibut ever, but especially on an airplane.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:18

No, uh, I why are we having fish on airplanes? And for breakfast.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:22

I guess people eat like smoked salmon on my bagels, but was that locks?

SPEAKER_03 1:13:28

Yeah, fuck me up with a lox bagel.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:30

I don't like salmon in general. Smoked salmon, kill me.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:35

No, no, no, no, no, no. Um, how dare you? Speaking of bagels.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:40

So my bagels are Jewish.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:43

Nick's are in five.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:44

Yeah. Did you see that? What's that? Did you see that? You know what I'm talking about?

SPEAKER_00 1:13:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:51

Like my mare is Muslim, my vehicles are Jewish, the Pope is on our side or something. Yeah. Nick's in five.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:58

Nixon five.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:00

Amazing.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:01

I I was yesterday years old when I became a Knicks fan.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:04

Were you? Oh my gosh. Um, welcome. I used to be very much into basketball. My brother played it growing up. I had an ex-boyfriend that was very into it. Um, and when I lived in New York, he had come out, my ex-boyfriend, to New York, and we went to a Knicks game. And this was in the era of Carmilla Anthony and Lynn Sanity, where I mean, Knicks have always been terrible since they just have not had good luck. So watching all the videos of just this city blowing up, everyone going crazy, I just like it's a cultural experience right now. Like the whole world is talking about it.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:52

So we watched the game two games ago, and I'm not a big basketball fan. I just have never been like super into watching it. And I feel like it was a good game. I'm a big detective Olivia Benson fan, obviously. And she's like front row and center Mariska Hartley, my spirit animal at the game. So I was like, okay, I like that. And then I'm a girl at the game. T Swift. Yeah, on Instagram that she was at the game, and I had gotten home late because I was teaching. Gary wasn't watching the game, he was watching the new Mortal Kombat movie, which was unhinged. And I'm like, why aren't you watching the Knicks game? Like, yeah. He's like, Well, they're down by like 30 points. And I'm like, he's like, the game's over. And I'm like, well, Taylor's there, so put it on. And he puts it on, and she did her Tae Voodoo, and that little boop-bin at the end.

unknown 1:15:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:48

I don't know his name. Insane. We him and I both started screaming. Like instantly, Nick's fans. Everett's like, it's too loud in here. And I'm like, other room. Goodbye. Yeah. Goodbye. You don't understand what just happened.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:00

Um, yeah, it's quite a time in life right now. The Stanley Cup is also on. That's what I'm saying. I need to see who won tonight.

SPEAKER_04 1:16:08

I'm so tired.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:10

Oh, yes. Okay. Um, well, there's one more game left. North Carolina won tonight. It's the Golden Knights versus the Canes. Hurt Canes.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:22

Oh. You don't want the Golden Knights to win, right? No one likes them.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:26

No. Well, specifically, I do not want them to win because they took the Ducks out of the playoffs.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:33

So I'm not sure if you see an opinion on that.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:36

Tell.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:37

I would always prefer to lose to the team that won everything. Like you want to like the best team.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:43

Yeah. Yeah. But we were we were doing so good. And then they were they're just too good. But also at the same time, I'm like indifferent because North Carolina has a goalie, Freddie Anderson. Like I'm his number one hater in life because he used to be on the ducks. And he was the reason in what year was that? 2017 that we got kicked out of the playoffs because he was just terrible. He choked under pressure. He was like he forgot how to play the sport just in general. And he's doing the same now, but somehow he's in the finals with the hurricane.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:24

But what do you want to win?

SPEAKER_03 1:17:25

Honestly, go sports. I don't know. I don't at this point. I don't care. Like you hate both teams that you're just yeah. I mean, there's one player on the Golden Knights, his wife was on The Bachelor. So I always get excited. Um, his name is William Carlson.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:44

I won't know his name.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:45

Emily. It was the Blonde Twins. He's married to one of the.

SPEAKER_02 1:17:49

Oh, yeah. I remember the Blonde Twins.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:50

Yeah. She's a Vegas native. And so it just makes sense. But yeah, Freddie Anderson, I'm your number one hater. And I don't know if he played yeah, I don't know if he played tonight, but last the last game he did not play, and the announcers were like, oh, it's because they want to give him a break. He's tired. I'm like, no, because he sucks. Socks. Like, let's just. The Knicks. The next. Um, this tall alien man on the Spurs. Don't know his name, but I just learned that he's like a child. Something with a W. Yeah. That's young. He's like five years old and came out of the womb at seven foot. Yeah. Um, but there's a video. Did you see the video of uh Nick's fan throwing an egg at him in the head?

SPEAKER_02 1:18:41

No. I mean, it's so mean. I just watched all the Taylor videos. I didn't watch it.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:46

I do not support violence in that way, but it was kind of funny. Um, what's his name? I'm just gonna say Spurs player. Oh, Wim Wem Yama.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:59

Yeah, that sounds right.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:01

Um, yeah, he is French. I do know that. Oh my gosh. He's 7'4, 22 years old. Like what? His wingspan is eight feet. It's similar to mine.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:13

How do you know that?

SPEAKER_03 1:19:15

My wingspan is the same as a gorilla.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:18

That's a very interesting factoid.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:21

Yeah, fun factoid about me. I mean, it it makes sense because of my Neanderthal traits. That's true.

SPEAKER_02 1:19:28

Your arms are longer than your legs.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:31

Honestly, I'm there is a brief moment in time where I went to a private school in first and second grade, and you had to wear um skirts and shorts that weren't past your fingertips. I'm wearing, I mean, thank God for Bermuda shorts in at that time. But my shorts were like all the way down to my knees. And it was the same rule in um, I think it was a rule in junior high, but um the junior high island, too, it was just like so ghetto. They didn't really care. Cervilla CV.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:09

That establishment.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:10

It's in Villa Parque.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:12

There's a ghetto in Villa Park.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:14

Yeah, it's called Ceravilla. I remember there are some girls like um smoking an apple in the restroom. Remember those days?

SPEAKER_02 1:20:29

I can't say ever parked smoking an apple.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:32

An apple bomb or something. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:34

I think they put drugs apple and then they smoke it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:39

Yes. Quite creative.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:43

I've never seen it in the wild.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:45

I did not partake, but I just remember that vividly from junior high. Don't know why.

SPEAKER_02 1:20:49

I went to a Catholic school, so there was no one smoking an apple bong in the uh bathroom like that right now.

SPEAKER_03 1:20:56

Oh, I did have a lesbian PE teacher. I mean, like, who didn't?

SPEAKER_02 1:21:00

Probably me because everyone's a Catholic problem.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:06

Oh, what a time public school is. Yeah. I will give a shout out to public school though, because in second grade, don't even get me started on my second grade teacher. She was nutso, first off, at reading time, as one does in the second grade. I was reading a book about Aaron Carter, like obviously.

SPEAKER_02 1:21:30

She had a stock. Second grade, you're like seven, somewhere around there.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:33

I don't know. Anywho, he was like the hottest thing in town. And so I had a book about Aaron Carter, just like how he wants candy.

unknown 1:21:43

I want candy.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:44

And he's having these parties, Aaron's party. And so I'm reading this book. Mrs. Hunt cannot. I don't remember much, but I do remember this. She stopped everyone in the middle of reading time to talk about how Aaron Carter is the devil and how I want candy is not about candy. She's telling second graders. I was mortified. And then she has a meeting with my mom, not about the book situation, about my intellectual uh situation at that time. And so she tells my mom, there's something wrong with her. I'm just not sure what.

SPEAKER_02 1:22:29

Ridiculed for reading about her.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:31

Yeah, Mrs. Hunt. And so I barely spoke a word growing up. I couldn't even say my name. Like, God forbid, I had to introduce myself to someone. Like my brother spoke for me constantly. And so that's all weird. You know, childhood trauma. It's fine. Stay tuned for my um memoir. My memoir. Memoir. And so after second grade, we moved. And so I switched schools and went to a public school. And within the first week of public school, my teacher knew exactly what was wrong. And so she had a meeting with my mom. And I had to go with my mom that morning to the meeting. I wasn't in it, so I sat in the um school's office with the secretary. They have the TVs on that morning, and they're just crying hysterically. And I'm sitting with my brother. I was like, what's going on? And we look at the TV. Plane goes into the World Trade Center. It's not funny.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:38

Wait, how much older am I than you? Because I was in sixth grade when that happened.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:43

That was third grade for me. Third grade. Okay. Yeah. And so not only did a terror terrorist attack happen that day, but I also learned.

SPEAKER_02 1:23:54

Oh, you're watching the replay later in the day.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:56

Yeah, but it was before school started. We had an early morning. I think it was 7 a.m.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:02

Okay, so it just like happened.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:04

Meeting with the um my teacher and speech pathologist. And I had a speech impediment. And so not only did I learn that um America was under attack, but I had an issue with my speech.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:22

I also did that day, but we're not going to talk about it publicly.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:25

Yeah. And so I had to go to speech therapy and I was so embarrassed because I'd have to miss out on PE. And then the kids were like, Where were you, Eva? I was like, Oh, I was there. You didn't see me. Also, I don't know how or what my speech therapist did, because all I remember is playing a game with like cards. But hey, look at me now.

SPEAKER_02 1:24:48

I can look at me now. When I was getting, I had like orthodontia work done, like braces and stuff. Yeah. And they're like, I was a tongue thruster, so I was like always pushing. Gross. Um, but I was always pushing against my teeth, and they're like, you're just you're messing up your bite or whatever.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:10

Is your tongue too big for your mouth too?

SPEAKER_02 1:25:12

They never told me that.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:13

It's just like if mine is like just like hanging out.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:19

That's very purple right now. Can you touch your nose? I can't. Mine's not that long. Yours is very long. Okay, that's the whole situation. Mine's normal size. I just like that. People need to know. Um, no, mine's like normal size. It's just like it's a reactive tongue. Like, so whenever they were she was like doing my when they were going, she had to go when you have braces, you have to go to see them a lot to like get them adjusted or whatever.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:50

Right.

SPEAKER_02 1:25:51

My tongue would just attack her tools. Like it would just be like, it just wasn't like get out of my mouth. I was like, and they're like, you're a tongue thruster. So they sent me the speech therapy, and they wanted to the stupidest. I had to like hold, you know, the little um plastic things that go around the bread bags. Yeah. To like keep the air out. Yeah. I would have to like hold one between my lips, and I couldn't like it. I remember that. Yes. I'm like, I'm not doing this shit. I don't care. Like, my tongue's fine. Go away. I told my parents, I was like, I'm not going back to this thing. I'm not doing these exercises. I don't feel like we're spending this much money on your orthodontia. You gotta fix your tongue thrust. You know, I'm like, I don't give a shit.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:25

Your tongue thrusting.

SPEAKER_02 1:26:28

Like you're gonna slip your teeth again. We're paying all this money for braces, you're just gonna shoot them. I'm like, whatever. They're fine.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:33

Wow. Okay, how's your tongue thrusting to this day? I don't know. Is it super reactive?

SPEAKER_02 1:26:40

In in general, it's a curious like it just I don't know, it it's active. But my teeth look fine, so who cares? Stunning. I feel like this whole segment needs to get cut. No, we're keeping it a very interesting tangent. We just went on. Um I have one more thing to talk about. So I would like to give today's award for worst human ever to Wyatt's football coach from last season because it has come and he's a parent at my school, and I don't give a fuck. So it has come to my attention that he is just out there spreading his little feeds about why the football team sucked and we only won two games, was because of Wyatt and her Girl Scout friends that were forced onto his team. And I just want to say that they are eight and nine-year-old girls who had never played before. And this is a rec league. This is not club. I will rewrite their eight and nine-year-old girls. And maybe if you didn't run the same play every game where every other team knew what you were running and didn't throw to the same person who was your daughter the entire game and not actually coach other people to get better, that maybe we would have won more games. And if you had practiced pulling flags every once in a while and practice, so they actually knew how to play defense, that might have helped you win a game. So now next time I see you. School, you're lucky we're on summer break when I just found out this information. And I will see you at school in the fall. And we'll see if there's words to be had.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:08

We'll see you uh after school pickup, buddy.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:11

See you there.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:12

Peace. See you there. You don't want some. You don't want this.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:17

Oh, you come for my kid. You're fucking done, bro. Like, we're we're done.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:22

We're done. Yep. So stay tuned. Stay tuned. Um, also, he needs to to, I think, get a life outside of flax football. Find a hobby.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:36

How about that? Hobby.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:38

Like, yeah, I guess that's one thing about my husband. He has too many hobbies.

SPEAKER_02 1:28:45

You have to move them all.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:46

Why, yeah. We had to move them all. And even our friend that helped us, I saw him last night. I was like, thank you so much for all your help. He's like, Oh, yeah, yeah. I was like, please tell me that you also think my husband has way too much stuff. He's like, I couldn't believe it. I'm like, thank you.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:05

Does he not like have self-awareness of to how much stuff he actually has, or does he think it's normal?

SPEAKER_03 1:29:11

He does now, but I fear that now that we're in a home in a bigger space, that it's just going to get worse.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:19

It compounds. So this is like there's some actual scientific, it's called like a it's some theory name. But it's it's a legit thing that like there was a study done on freeways, and that people say if you widen freeways, there'll be less congestion. But no, more people just take the freeway. Yeah. The congestion never eases eases, is like I forget what it's called. The same thing's true for hoarding. The more space you have, you you just continue to fill it. So it doesn't actually make things better.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:52

No, no. So exciting times.

SPEAKER_02 1:29:55

I mean, at least he hoards like high school math books and not, you know, other weird stuff.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:02

Yeah, it could be a lot worse. It could be a lot worse. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:07

Stuff that draws rodents. At least you don't have that. It's like, you know, just thank gods and books. Report cards and yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:17

I threw away some childhood things today. That was refreshing. Just go ham on it.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:24

I do it with my kids' stuff. They're gonna be in Utah for three weeks straight. And I'll have a couple weeks in the house to myself. Ooh. And like without them here. And I'm just going to well, they're gonna come back. They're gonna be like, there's no toys here, and be like, they're like, where'd all of our toys go? They got robbed. I don't know if to tell you. All they took was the toys. Weird, weird, strange. Called the police. They could they they couldn't file a police report because there was so much shit they didn't know what to put on a police report. They just were like, oh well.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:30:55

Random barbecues gone. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:58

Weird. My gosh. Yeah, all the little accessories.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:01

I don't think we're getting into our reality.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:05

No. There's just too much going on in our own personal reality.

SPEAKER_02 1:31:09

So we'll get to it next week.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:11

SPEAKER_01 1:31:19

SPEAKER_01 1:31:41

Yeah, you know, sometimes it's nice to just chat. Yeah. I don't even know what we talked about at the end of this, but we talked about stuff and we updated people on important matters of our lives that needed to be talked about.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:57

That needed to be talked about. And yeah, hopefully you learned something new, whether it was about one of us or about yourself.

SPEAKER_02 1:32:05

You know, self-reflection. That's all we can ask for in this life. Well, next week we're gonna be out again, like I said, back on our sketch. We're gonna have a much shorter weekend update because it will truly be a weekend update. Truly. Um, we're gonna have our reading of our fun comments we've been getting recently from all the men, small men of the world. And then we're gonna talk about women supporting women and what that looks like. Coming from two women who support women and not the men, because they don't support anything. And some men do. Some men men I feel like Andrews.
