Wet Sleeves Or Crumbs On Your Feet

A Brazilian wax question turns into a full spiral, and somehow that’s the most accurate summary of our brains as moms. We’re Gabby, Katie, and Taylor, and we’re joined by our guest Katie from Florida for a fast, chaotic, and honest catch-up that starts with beauty upkeep, a DIY waxing nightmare, and the very real case for letting professionals handle certain kinds of “self care.” 

From there we get into workplace stories and the stuff that still gets under our skin: a sexist comment about blondes, messy coworker energy, and why nurse life can feel like high school with scrubs. We also hit the oddly stressful “what are your hobbies?” question and get real about what adult hobbies actually look like when you’re tired, raising kids, and trying to keep your house standing. Think NYT crosswords, crochet, trivia, organizing, gym time, and yes, rage cleaning. 

Then things take a darker turn with pop culture documentaries and true crime, including reality TV fallout and a crash case that raises tough questions about accountability, internet judgment, and the stories families tell themselves. We finish with a long run of “would you rather” questions that turns into a surprisingly real conversation about millennial work-life balance, PTO battles, teacher burnout in fifth grade classrooms, parenting discipline, and why nurses and teachers don’t get the respect they deserve. 

If you like funny friends, unfiltered mom talk, and real conversations about nursing, teaching, and modern motherhood, hit play. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a laugh, and leave a review, then tell us: what’s your go-to hobby when life gets heavy?

SPEAKER_03 3:59

I've loved it when people who have no idea what they're talking about like to have an opinion. First of all, you're a man. Second of all, you're a single guy. So you literally know nothing. So keep your shit to yourself. This is just a random person. We will you can talk when when spoken to. That's what I that's what I have to say to that.

I was never gonna that wasn't gonna cross my mind because I would be so excited. I did, but he asked me for it.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:32

Well, he didn't ask me. He said he wanted it, but it was too expensive and to not do it. And then I bought it anyway, and he was still surprised because it was a nice one. And now it just sits there collecting pollen and dust because he doesn't use it ever. Brush that thing off. I know. I'm like, it's summertime. We need to whip that bitch. Is that the smoker? Yeah. No, that thing broke. It was the black stone. The black stem.

SPEAKER_03 10:01

Yeah, the smoker's he's uh he lived he lived a had a really long, painful death, and now he's just like rotting away in our backyard. And I've told Gail 900 times to get rid of it, but it's still there, if you're wondering. So check back next week. Yeah. Dylan has so many hobbies though. Oh yeah. It's hard to keep her husband. Is like this is Katie's brother, by the way. A busy Labrador retriever. He's just like, he's busy.

Like watching other people do the hobbies that he does.

SPEAKER_02 10:55

Yeah, I don't we've talked about this before.

SPEAKER_03 10:58

I don't understand why they watch hold of YouTube. Like the videos that they watch. I'm like, why don't you just go do it? And they do, but it's not enough. It's not enough. It doesn't fill their cup. They have to watch other dudes doing it when they get home.

SPEAKER_04 11:12

I just have such an issue with waking up at 2 a.m. and YouTube's on. I know. And I go and like try and pause it and then he wakes up. I'm like, oh, you're you're awake. He's like, I was watching that. I was like, you were literally snoring two seconds ago.

SPEAKER_03 11:24

I was gonna make a reference to a show, but I know y'all won't get it. Maybe Katie will actually. I'm glad you're here. Did you remember the show Proud Family? Oh yeah. I remember Proud Family. Okay. Do you remember the grandma? Yes. Who you turn the TV off and she'd be like, she'd be asleep. Oh yeah. She'd be like, I was watching that. And then like they like turn it back on and immediately fall back asleep. That's what made me think.

SPEAKER_02 11:43

Well, see, we got that one.

SPEAKER_03 11:44

Okay, all right. Damn it. I love the Proud Page. All the ones I usually have, everybody just looks at me like the cringe. They're just like never seen that.

unknown 11:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:55

So that would be sad if we haven't seen that.

SPEAKER_03 11:58

The Proud Family? Yeah. Oh, so I got r humbled real quick this weekend because I asked a girl that I worked with who I didn't realize was as young as she is, she's 24. Super sweet, really good nurse, but we were just chatting about babies, and I asked her if she'd seen the 40-year-old virgin. Never seen it. There was another one too. It was like one of those movies, just like there was like five movies that just walk away. And I was just like our conversation's done here.

Pop Culture Documentaries Get Dark

SPEAKER_02 12:30

I was like, um, I wasn't allowed to watch rated R movies when I was nine.

SPEAKER_03 12:34

I just was like, what? You've never seen this. And yeah. So she just was looking at me very confused. Like a lot.

SPEAKER_04 12:41

Speaking of TV, you know, 16 Impregnant and Team and all that stuff. Yeah. They you know how they've been coming out with documentaries about like pop culture? There was one about 16 Impregnant, and I was just watching it and I was like, this is so sad that like this was people's lives.

SPEAKER_02 12:57

Oh, you know, like you're saying that they televised it?

SPEAKER_04 12:59

That they tell and like all the girls post, you know, show like got threats against them and like people commenting about their lives, and then like some of the girls overdosed a lot of their like it was just like one girl that like got charged with like either it was like bestiality or like child like like pornography or something recently.

SPEAKER_03 13:21

Oh god. And then there was another girl, which obviously we know like the ones that were on 16 and pregnant and turned into teen mom.

SPEAKER_04 13:28

That some of those are like wild stories, but yeah. Yeah, it's just it's it was an interesting watch if anyone was what's it called? It's on Hollywood Demons on HBO slash Have you seen that? It was very with the seven Peaven Death Wild.

SPEAKER_02 13:43

I love a good documentary.

SPEAKER_04 13:44

Yeah, that well it's just one episode, but did you guys watch The Crash? I was just gonna ask you that, yes.

SPEAKER_02 13:50

Yo, that's just Did you watch it on Netflix or Hulu? Both. Okay, I didn't watch the Hulu one, but I heard that there's more information.

SPEAKER_03 13:56

It definitely goes in about like stuff that they left. Like I feel like Netflix kind of made it a little like not romanticized, but like it was very like generous with her whole thing because she apparently took that route like a week prior. And like, oh, I can't. I'll tell you what it's about.

SPEAKER_02 14:16

Tell me the like it's about a girl, she's what, 17 when this happened? She's like with this big friend group. Long story short, she basically there's a big car accident and she crashed the car she was driving with her boyfriend and his friend.

SPEAKER_03 14:32

She killed both of them and killed both of them. But she ran.

SPEAKER_02 14:37

And it's like it was I mean, she's in jail now for double homicide because they pulled the computer chip out of the car and showed that she didn't even try to break 98 miles per hour.

SPEAKER_03 14:49

Yeah. So she survived. So barely, I mean she was in like critical condition, but the thing is, is like there was a lot more to it. Like it came out after the fact that like she was they were having a lot of issues in their relationship. I guess Dom is the guy that was is her boyfriend. She was living with him, but there had been like threats previously about killing him in a car with like they were she's like, I'll run this car into a wall, like stuff like that. And then there was some other stuff, but you know, there was just like recorded conversations from him. So they he was like gaining evidence to like try to get away. So there's like a lot of things that have come out now. It's a good watch. Yeah, it's a good one. And man, her parents are getting roasted online. Her dad got put on administrative leave because he's a teacher. Is he? Yeah. They think she's just like totally fine. Apparently, she's a huge bully. I was thinking that though.

SPEAKER_02 15:41

So her parents are basically like trying to do everything they can to prove her innocence and that she it was probably a medical emergency, and that's like why.

SPEAKER_04 15:50

Like, did she have a psych break or something?

SPEAKER_03 15:52

No, they said she had pots, which like don't get me sore on the pots. There's the thing is though, if she had pots or if she does have pots and she had an episode, there would have been swerving, and there's no evidence of swerving with the breaks. There's no evidence of the video footage that she was trying to break or anything. So like she would have swerved or something. There's just no way. Like she was like, it was the beeline, and it was just straight, and you know.

SPEAKER_02 16:19

That's so that's gotta be so crazy though. Cause I was thinking about the parents when I was watching it. I'm like, how do you start to differentiate where you're like, okay, this isn't my daughter anymore. Now this is like somebody that murdered two people.

SPEAKER_04 16:31

And yeah, like, did I raise this person?

SPEAKER_03 16:33

Like you do pretty much. Yeah. I mean, that's a whole psychological conversation. Nature versus nurture, all that shit. Oh, yeah, she's a demon and like terrible. You gotta watch this. I gotta watch this. Because the her the way that she looks different now that she's in prison, like she looks like a talks different. Yeah, she talks differently. I mean, I know pr prison probably changes you. I would not survive in prison. Exactly. Oh no, not even a day. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_04 17:00

I think I could depend I don't know. I think about this a lot. I would have to You could be at the wrong place the wrong time, and something happens and you just end up in jail. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. Like you like the story I'm listening to right now on counterclock, like these five kids just got like I don't I mean, I didn't finish it, but it's kind of like the Central Park 5 where they they claimed they were there, everyone, but they actually never did the c crime and end up in jail.

SPEAKER_03 17:27

It happened in Winston-Salem. Yeah. You should listen to that. What's the festival card?

SPEAKER_04 17:32

Chris Paul's grandfather that died and got murdered, and they say that these I don't remember how many kids are there.

SPEAKER_03 17:38

To be fair, all of those kids had um IQs of about 70 in your nurse practitioner. I was gonna say I think they were coercive coerced into confessions. Yeah. So you I think would be able to be like, I'm not sure. In fact, I think I'm gonna We're also teenagers. So for the buttons, I don't think we have to worry about you going to jail. I don't think you're accidentally gonna wind up in jail.

SPEAKER_04 18:00

I don't know. I just I my brain, you know. My anxiety goes from here.

SPEAKER_03 18:04

Downward spiral of we'll get you out if you end up in there. Yeah, just come bail me out. Don't worry about that. We'll be like, no way.

SPEAKER_04 18:11

And then you surprise you come see me in jail, and my hair's like in two French braids, and I've got like prison tattoos. Yeah, you know what's it? And I'm like chola. I'm like, I'm actually good here, guys.

SPEAKER_03 18:22

These are my people. Her eyebrows are gonna be like pencil, penciled on. They're gonna be shaved and penciled on. She's gonna be like, I'm the head of my gang too.

SPEAKER_04 18:31

Yeah. Like actually daddy's thriving. Like, you remember my root canal? It's now a gold suit. Oh gosh.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:39

No. Uh no, I think you're safe by that. Yeah. Okay. Thanks, guys. Um we got a little off topic. I don't remember what we were talking about. Oh, documentary. The documentary, but yeah, I don't I wouldn't survive in jail. It's just I I I try to act tough, but I don't think I'm as tough as prison would have to make you.

SPEAKER_04 18:54

Prison mic. Have you guys seen The Office? Of course. Prison Mike, the Dementors. Yeah. Oh, okay.

That's a that's a show I can get behind. So different. Very different. Yeah. So Meredith, y'all are my sister's age. So like it's a little bit different because I am a little older than y'all.

SPEAKER_01 20:06

By the way, your husband told me he does it every single day before he even gets out of bed. I heard what I'm saying this morning. The thing is, is you married someone that does the same shit as me. He's a little busy, busier than I am, but we are similar. Yeah. So she secretly likes it. That's why she hangs out with people that do it and married one.

Um trivia. I do trivia. Trivia. What else do I do? I love to organize. I love to label things. Mm-hmm. I love so like if you ever want your pantry organized, mm, you come over. clean my things. I'm your girl. I'm your girl. Yes, that's a that's a I don't know if that's like considered a hobby. What was the game that you said you wanted to play? Well

Would You Rather Gets Unhinged

SPEAKER_03 22:07

it's not really a game but it was like a would you rather kinda I love someone I love would you rather I think about it way too deeply like this is actually gonna happen. So these okay let's let's make a a rule because Gil always does this where he's like well it's like you have to take it out. It's a rapid fire no everything to the side is out but like you can't have any like oh well but this you know okay would you rather always have wet sleeves or always step in crumbs barefoot? Oh my God, those are two of my least favorite things in the world. I'm going with crumbs I think so too. You are but like a I'm not gonna say bedroom shoes again slipper person. Yeah. Is that just because your feet are cold or is it because you like I have to wear them because I get I don't like touching things on the feet. Yeah so you'd rather have crumbs on your feet though. Than wet sleeves. Wet sleeves would drag you down. I don't know if I could choose one. What about you, Katie? You have to I know I think I would do wet sleeves. I would do I think I would do wet sleeves. Every day. Every day. Every day you're at work and you still got wet sleeves. Like are they wet all day long? I don't think I could tune it out. I would have I don't think I could tune either one out but I could I feel like I would crash out less if I had wet sleeves because the crumbs on the feet will send me into a full rage.

SPEAKER_04 23:22

I like cannot yeah but I could get the crumbs off easily.

SPEAKER_03 23:25

Don't just it's even talking about it's making me uncomfortable. Okay. Would you rather lose your phone for a day or your alone time for a month?

SPEAKER_01 23:34

Oh my phone. Phone for a month.

SPEAKER_03 23:36

Yeah I don't need my I I hate losing my phone. But my phone stays lost or dead 60% of the time anyway it wouldn't make that much of a difference. I really need alone time though. Like Yes a phone. Yeah. Wait. It says lose your iPhone or lose your iPhone I have I have the questions in front of me and I you good. Yeah. Would you rather have toddlers with unlimited energy or husbands with unlimited opinions? Oh god That's a I already have a husband with unlimited opinions. I have a toddler with unlimited energy and a husband with enough opinions that piss me off. So you can't really pick because you got both but like which one would I rather eliminate or get or have I mean my daughter has highlighted I'll take the energy I do highlight because I can go on a run with them and I already have one so I rather I don't want to get guilty of more opinions. Opinions can be fun though but like until you start arguing then it's not fun. It depends on the opinion. Like y'all can have a lot of opinions and a lot of them are great but sometimes I'm like it's enough please stop talking here we go. Would you rather accidentally wave back at someone who wasn't waving at you or call teacher mom as an adult.

SPEAKER_02 24:51

I've done both yeah as an adult oh never mind okay Katie how many kids have called you mom? Quite a few. Really I remember in first grade I did that and I was like oh my god I'm so dumb.

SPEAKER_03 25:04

I don't think I've ever called a teacher mom.

SPEAKER_04 25:08

Taylor's upset the rest of the day because she could no I mean like I still remember it.

SPEAKER_01 25:11

I wave back in peak happens at least once a year. And I'm in fifth grade so she's they're embarrassed.

SPEAKER_03 25:19

They're like that sucks.

SPEAKER_01 25:20

Yeah like I feel like that's Did you just call her mom?

SPEAKER_03 25:23

Yeah like your friends are gonna rag like in fifth grade like your friends especially a boy your friends are gonna brag on you so hard because I don't know why it's like it's just an accident but they were playing put a finger down if the other day and it made me proud. I was like oh that's still around like never have I ever had some that's still around yeah I have accidentally waved back at someone who wasn't waving at me and like it's honestly makes you want to like crawl back inside of your mother. It's so embarrassing. Yeah do you just then you just play it off you're like no not you the person behind you but just start scratching your head it was you I was actually just thinking out loud I think I would rather call a teacher mom because for me waving at someone that isn't waving at me like I don't know it feels so embarrassing.

SPEAKER_02 26:10

Yeah it is okay I think I would pick mom too actually yeah that's not too bad.

SPEAKER_03 26:15

Would we rather drink only drink lukewarm coffee forever or only eat cold French fries?

SPEAKER_02 26:21

Lukewarm coffee.

SPEAKER_03 26:22

Lukewarm coffee I hate lukewarm coffee coffee I hate both of those things. God I hate a cold fry. But I need the coffee gross of all the French fries of the like fast food chains I'm gonna divert a little bit which one's the worst when they're cold? I find Chick-fil-A to be the grossest they're my least favorite in general I think Wendy's fries are my least favorite but take what are your favorite fries sidebars I love McDonald's french fries.

SPEAKER_04 26:55

I'm McDonald's girl do Arby's curly fries count?

SPEAKER_03 26:58

Oh those fries for that the store now frozen that's how great they are which like Arby's does not get enough love. I've never anything else there is disgusting but you know I go there too I used to fuck I used to fuck hard with Arby's back in like my teenage years. Because like tell me you didn't get roast beef sandwiches. No. I mean I had I had before all I'm picturing when you say Arby's I'm just picturing roast beef on a gross ass roll no no I don't I would never I would get the they would have they had mozzarella sticks. So it was like a tea y'all know all of me some snacks. So I would never get like an actual meal it was either like mozzarella sticks or they had jalapeno poppers which I love still to this day. And they I'm like I can get drive-thru jalapeno poppers that are like not terrible. Okay. Yeah. So anyway. God did we've did anyone actually answer that question? Oh you all said lukewarm what about you then coffee.

SPEAKER_04 27:53

Me cake on the coffee.

SPEAKER_03 27:55

I have to reheat my coffee like six times. If it gets a little bit less than like burning me I have to I can't drink it. I don't just keep picking it up Taylor drinks hot chocolate during the cold months and then the rest of I don't know like a child. Yeah no cream Gil's dad doesn't drink coffee either he's 68. He'll be 69 in a few weeks no caffeine at all. No he drinks caffeine well just recently started drinking caffeine but does not drink coffee never has so that's wild I've been drinking coffee since I was like 13. My sister's been drinking coffee since like the sixth grade you need caffeine.

SPEAKER_02 28:33

Yeah I feel like I drink so much more caffeine now though.

SPEAKER_03 28:37

Yeah kids will suck the life out of you. Night shift yeah too yeah okay would you rather relive middle school or your first year as a nurse first year as a nurse oh yeah middle school was pretty rough for me I had a lot of bullies honestly the first year as a nurse was probably one of my best well mine was the nine was it the wait we started the same year it was a global pandemic. I work in pediatrics that's true you were having a better time that was a rough year for me just because I don't know being in the ICU like you just like aren't like you're on like hyper like hyper vigilant high alert there's so much anxiety I was exhausted after every shift and then also the whole like pandemic global pandemic thing was rough COVID. But I also had a really rough time in middle school I had you know nothing's worse than having bullies be girls that used to be your friend middle school girls are terrible yeah they shout out to those bitches I'm not gonna name them because you know you know who you are you're mean as hell and doing great now no they literally because we tried to have a birthday party together and they didn't like that my parents didn't want like grown men. And we were in the seventh grade. And my parents were like nah y'all can leave and they were like you're my and yeah so but then the rest of my teen sixth grade or seventh and eighth grade years were like absolute torture.

SPEAKER_04 30:05

Oh god's a rough time yeah yeah I just think like you know during that time in middle school and like you're going through puberty and you're trying to make friends and I was always the new kid everywhere I went so that wasn't fun.

SPEAKER_03 30:17

Oh yeah and you didn't wear that turban that I didn't know I didn't wear that in school the fact that I found that picture so great. Yeah that picture is forever I pulled out photo of you my old mash buying this she pulled out the archives of Gabby you were talking about it on here right yeah on the mom on the Milth group chat I forget like I've had like 3,000 lives before I've like met everyone most interesting person award for people going in this room Gabby for sure she's had some crazy ass weird like things in my life we probably only know a quarter. I don't think I've even shown maybe I have shown Adam that he's like oh I'm like what is this hilarious like I have a man that's like makes something that's like so like interesting to you and then they just like it's like so anti claim oh okay maybe I have like why give me more give me more I'll show them later and see if I maybe I never showed him I don't know how did you know that I used to wear a turban oh my god that'll be my never no I have never have I ever not worn a turban and then I can wait that'll be one of my fun facts one game.

SPEAKER_04 31:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 31:35

What does Gaddy like to do for fun? Practice putting turbans on it. Would you rather have to narrate everything you do like a mommy influencer or speak only in nursing abbreviations for a week like hey mama hey mama welcome to my page and then you put the little thing and you're like tapping on your oh yeah like the ASMR. Yeah like we're podcasting I don't know nursing abbreviations I'd probably do. Yeah but like how much do you say not really that much I write I write them down more than I say them. No but I'm saying like just like day to day. I guess like that's how you communicate is only in healthcare terms? I don't know that's a walkabout that would be hard that would be hard well all right well what about would you I'll take the mommy influencer.

SPEAKER_02 32:25

Hey mama I just want Taylor to start talking like that good morning everybody hi guys welcome to my page I'm gonna go set up my phone and then walk away and then go back and get it and then walk away come with me to the park today and see what I packed for my cat's lunch so I have a question.

SPEAKER_01 32:42

Do any of you guys know people that you like grew up with that are now mom influencers?

SPEAKER_03 32:47

Oh no I have a couple like that think they are trying they're trying to be but they like I mean and good for them if they want I mean you gotta start somewhere. But no not like anybody like that's famous.

SPEAKER_04 32:58

I know a fit well one girl I went to high school with is a fitness influencer now. She's got a lot of followers. Actually she was on like one of the Gymshark thingies.

SPEAKER_03 33:05

I was like I can't be on track with her there's a few that I went to high school with that are like trying and it's it's so it's cringy because like I want to be like good for you for like putting yourself out there and like trying to do something but also it's cringy when you know the person you know them like before that and if yeah that's rough like we all follow influencers but if I knew them before yeah what if I what if I got famous would y'all be like I'd be like controlling like wait famous because you're like like a mom and happy Sunday everybody yeah I'd be like this is not the real meal path of the week. Like she's wearing a t-shirt right now with a skull on it. There's no like happy Sunday Katie like it's like what the bitches I don't have that. Come with me to go to sleep. Yeah come with me to sleep for half of the day and and then watch me do crosswords. Anyone know number nine and scream at my kids to shut up. That actually would be like a a real a realistic day as Katie is a mom influencer screaming at her kids just giving them pre-packaged food and telling them to fuck off and then sleeping. Yeah and me sleeping on the couch and my dog my one eyed dog or no no eyed dog now she has two nose eyes but okay but yeah no I would follow you. Thank you. I already follow you would you be like talking shit about me behind my back? Not behind your back right to your face. Come on I don't talk shit about it. That's true.

SPEAKER_04 34:35

That's true. That's true.

SPEAKER_03 34:36

Just in the comments ooh this is a given would you rather deep clean the house would you rather deep clean your house which I feel like this is an easy answer. Would you rather deep clean the house alone or symbol children's furniture with your spouse deep clean house alone yeah like deep clean that's obviously like it's my fate one of my favorite things to do at all like like in putting furniture together with Gil is like we've had some of our worst fights doing that. It's Ikea furniture because he like refuses to look at the directions and like he doesn't make like there's no award at the end of it.

SPEAKER_04 35:14

Please just look and he's no I don't I'm not allowed to put furniture together in our house. That's fine.

SPEAKER_02 35:20

Because I fuck it up would you I love the little giggle before each thing you say some of them are really funny.

SPEAKER_03 35:30

Would you rather accidentally like your ex's photo or accidentally send a screenshot to the person it's about oh I'll take the photo. Yeah I don't give a shit yeah really pirates yeah that one's pretty like but you don't want your ex like especially if it was a bad breakup to know that like you're looking at their shit but I've done that before I've accidentally scre like sent a screenshot to a person like a dumbass and how did you get yourself out of that I don't even remember I blacked out I feel like it's one of those things that's like really hard to like where you start sweating immediately like when your stomach drops you're just like oh yeah yeah I don't remember but it's happened more than once I'm not proud of that. Yeah that is one of my worst it's a bad one.

SPEAKER_02 36:16

It's bad fear my God that reminds me of something that I did that was so terrible. What'd you do? What is it? It's all hanging like a very it was a long time ago but um a different life. I took a risky photo and then posted it to my Instagram story. Oh or no my Snapchat story Oh my god was sending it was it like like you were nude?

SPEAKER_03 36:43

Uh maybe not fully nude but I mean might as well have been like enough to be like not good for your story.

SPEAKER_02 36:51

Oh yeah no no should not have been on the story. Six people saw it I don't know who I don't know who because when I noticed well it wasn't me I didn't see it. Well it couldn't have been any of my friends because I would hope that they would tell you tell me yeah and I couldn't look and see who saw it so you can't see who no I mentally wasn't going to like oh oh I wouldn't need to say you didn't want to know I would need to say I would have to well well somebody got an extra good look at Taylor the other day.

SPEAKER_03 37:20

That was funny that's coughing like an emphysema. You got bronchitis you might have bronchitis no jokes aside you might yeah because that's when it like gets better and then it comes back again and then you're just like that lingering cost.

Lake Day And Outdoor Debate

Girls trip with no sleep yeah I can rally obviously y'all saw me rally yesterday yeah Dylan at one point goes are you like just tired or are you like drunk? He was like I don't think you're drunk. He said because you were talking to me earlier and it made absolutely no fucking sense and I was like just the sheer fact that you're I don't remember this at all this interaction I was like I think it's just because I'm tired. I was he's like it made absolutely no sense and I went like almost 30 hours and without sleep and then the night before or the day before I had three hours. Oh my gosh. So yeah I was struggling yesterday. Yeah we went to the lake you wouldn't catch me on a boat yeah with no sleep. No yeah with my kids two kids no I don't know how I did it I don't either Gabby was like oh my god I'm not an outdoor person.

A whole setup of outdoorsy so he is like a fancy ass like he's got one of those what are they called waiters for fishing. It's like a it looks like a dead body if it's hanging in your garage and it's dark in there it looks like a dead body's hanging there just so you know so I had to stuff it away because he had it hanging in there at one point and I was like that would be good for Halloween decoration. Yeah so those are for fishing he's got like a really fancy pad thing that he uses when he camps he's got all these different like outdoor like camping supplies supplies I don't know just some dumb shit just another hobby.

SPEAKER_02 39:40

Camped on the beach with Adam?

SPEAKER_01 39:56

Yeah that's cute in your car yeah it's not real camping you were sleeping in your car yeah see I didn't need a tent in the car no I've no animals could approach me.

SPEAKER_03 40:07

Yeah I was and we had our dogs I've been traumatized way too many times from Girl Scouts having to sleep on the ground.

SPEAKER_02 40:14

Yeah I say we get give it another shot. We might die it could be fun. It could be I guess a fire s'mores beer music can we do it like in your backyard? Yeah like a trial run? Yeah so that I know because I'm gonna wake up in the morning and you guys are gonna be like in my bed and like bitch we weren't gonna sleep in a spent Ken's like let's get out of here we're gonna like have our little walkies and be like Gabby it's go time.

SPEAKER_01 40:38

And we're just gonna run into your bathroom. I don't want to pee up. Did you just do that when you were younger sleep in tents like in your backyard and then go inside in the middle of the night I did it with my basement Gabby lived in a city that was probably like two I lived in an apartment.

SPEAKER_03 40:51

Not like yeah we'll say like I wouldn't camp outside.

SPEAKER_04 40:54

No when I went to Connecticut with my cousins we did it at someone's house or something and I was like oh I guess this is there's more like why are we sleeping outside for your house is right there.

SPEAKER_03 41:05

It was more fun sleeping in a warm bed. I that's what I think. No I'd had to do it when I was touch grass.

SPEAKER_04 41:11

I don't like to touch grass either.

SPEAKER_03 41:13

I touch grass maybe I'll touch the sand I'm good on that I just there are other things that I would rather do than sleep outside. I'll like roast marshmallows I will have I'll tell ghost stories I'm looking at all the things that's just the actual sleeping outside is where you lost me. That's fair that's fair hiking is fun.

SPEAKER_02 41:34

I like to hike a good hike no Taylor and I hiked up rocks in Montana and that was brutal. Anytime Dylan brings me hiking I'm like oh yeah I would never go on a hike with Dylan.

SPEAKER_03 41:47

It's so bad not one goat not one that he picked out because I feel like he's gonna be like oh it's not that bad and it's like 20 if you are not an advanced hiker turn back now and yeah I'm gonna be like that's my cue because I'm gonna die up here. I'm gonna be another cautionary tail.

SPEAKER_02 42:03

I saw something that was like do you really like hiking? Because we all just look down the whole time make sure we don't trip over some rocks and then you finally look up and you're like huh okay cool view cool view.

SPEAKER_03 42:14

Let me go turn around and do the whole fucking thing again. Sounds terrible. I mean I like a hike that's like easy scenic yeah it's scenic you know you're not gonna like risk like Mount Everest you're gonna die on the way up not even get to the peak and then fucking die your body's there forever. Like who wants to do that? Dylan Brooklyn Mountain It's this hike that has ladders on the side of the mountain because it's so steep you need a ladder to climb up.

SPEAKER_01 42:45

No that's called like mountain climbing that's not hiking that is a mountain climbing on all fours because I could not stand it too yes we got up there it's 24 degrees and snow. Who the hell convinced you to do this Dylan he did and then he wouldn't let me turn around would not let me stop like the older siblings you're like look I'm gonna push you I would push you're fine you're fine keep going you're fine there was one person ahead of us and they turned around and I was like can I just go with him like I'm with you now to just you and Dylan bring me back to the parking lot.

SPEAKER_03 43:17

He even FaceTimed my older brother and my older brother was like dude she's not you got to stop you can't make her do this and he was like she's fine keep going you're like but actually need to go well yeah no I could not I would been like okay tell me that then I can do it one more time you're gonna fucking be on the bottom of this mountain like I'm going home that's funny. Oh I lost my place hold on all right any more would you rather spend a full day at the DMV or Chuck E. Cheese on a Saturday Chuck E cheese 100% fucking hills Chuck Chucky Cheese that place is disappointing. Their pizza's not awful okay you know what Taylor you lost me there.

SPEAKER_04 43:56

We can go to Chuck E Cheese have pizza bring some beer in a little food

SPEAKER_02 44:00

Not all of them.

SPEAKER_04 44:01

We could play some games.

SPEAKER_02 44:03

If that rat doesn't walk up to me in that costume, we're good.

SPEAKER_03 44:07

I don't know. On a Saturday though, there's definitely gonna be like a few kids at puke on the floor. The bathroom's gonna have a clogged turd in it. The floors are permanently sticky, and that fucking rat robot who's gonna be doing that same thing over and over every 20 minutes. I'd rather I don't know. I hate the DMV, but I think I might rather sit in the DMV.

SPEAKER_04 44:28

Last time I went to the DMV, this guy with the ankle bracelet walks in. I'm like, bro, I need to get out of here. How did he walk to me?

SPEAKER_03 44:35

Yeah, I did the DMV.

SPEAKER_04 44:36

I don't have time for that. I'd rather see the rat.

SPEAKER_03 44:41

All right. Well, you'll take Chuck E. Cheese. Yeah. Do you want to hear any more or is that it? You don't want to tell anything? Gabby does not drink in the world.

SPEAKER_02 44:50

Okay, on a more on a more serious note.

Work Less Live More Shift

SPEAKER_02 44:52

Oh yeah. Don and I were talking notes about how our generation has changed and that we would rather work to basically like fund our life rather than like work to build a career. Oh hell yeah. And so we were talking about how different it is than when our parents were Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 45:09

It was all about like well, I think the perspective of things have changed now because everybody realizes like there's more to life and like now dads actually are involved in their kids' lives and they want to be there. And it used to be like mom was everything and you know dad dad literally just like would finance, you know, everything. But now like I feel like the memories that you make with your families are the ones those are the people you're gonna see on your deathbed, you know. And like I think millennials are just we're just you know changing the narrative, but you know, they want to make there's more to life than just having a good career. Yeah. And yeah, that's my two cents. No, I agree.

SPEAKER_02 45:47

Like when I first became a nurse, I absolutely loved it. I not to say I don't love it now, but I like liked the adrenaline of working, like the ICU setting. And now I'm like, I want to work as little as possible for as much money as I can. Well, what's dark and only fans? Or toe only fans. The toe ho. Yeah, the toe hoes. No, but that that's just changed.

SPEAKER_03 46:12

Yeah, I feel like 100%. Yeah. I feel like it's been it's one of those things. Like I hate having to leave and be at work because I'm, you know, I want to be at home most days with my kids and or just, you know, being able to do things with them, go on vacation. It's like with when you're as a you're a nurse, it's like that you've a limited amount of time that you can like go and do stuff. At least in my case, like they're like I have friends that have had PTO rejected recently, and I'm like, as soon as that happens, I'm out. Yeah, that's a no for me. Yeah, oh yeah, because and like just for they're like, oh, it's already full. I don't give a shit. I'm gonna go to the city. PTO needs to prepare the others. I'm not coming.

SPEAKER_02 46:52

Well the other thing is our PTO, we have to put in so far ahead of time. I'm like, I don't know what I'm doing in four months. Yeah. Yeah, I hate that about and now I want PTO the end of July, but it's too late. It's too late. Well, we already submitted the schedule, so now you have to just find switches. Yeah, and that's annoying. That's hard to do.

SPEAKER_03 47:14

Repair the other.

SPEAKER_02 47:14

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 47:15

Yeah. Like this guy that I have worked with forever, I like never would have thought that he'd be one to like leave, but he's just put in his notice and I was talking to him about it, and he's going to take like I didn't even know this was a thing. Caterpillar, the like characters and stuff. What? Yeah, he's gonna be like an occupational health nurse. Oh, yeah. I've looked for jobs like that. For and another girl that used to work with us works there, and I guess she like maybe like got put in a good word, but he's gonna be making more money baseline. Um sounds like a Monday to Friday though. It's Monday to Friday, but it's 6 30 a.m. to two. Oh. So he's that's not bad. Home every night, which like that sounds terrible to me because I am not a morning person, but like you're home by two, and he's got kids that are in school and they're doing sports, and he's like, I work, he works weekend option. So he's like, I never am there for my kids. He's like, I'm gonna blink, and my kids are all gonna be 18. And that's how I'm saying I feel like we're trying to change that before we get to the point where we have to look back and be like, dang, I'm gonna be able to do that. I miss that on so much. Yep. And like I think it's good. Like, I was like, you know what? I respect that. Like he's he was like, he's four kids. So he's like, yeah. His oldest is like 12, and he's like, I never get to see their games, I never get to do anything. So it's like I I'm gonna we'll miss you, but yeah, yeah, yeah. So I like that that narrative's changing. Yes, 100%, 100%. The work the workforce just needs to Yeah, like I feel like we just need to like make more money to do less work. Somebody needs to figure out how we can do that.

SPEAKER_01 48:40

I'd like to just make more money. I'll

Teaching Fifth Grade And Discipline

SPEAKER_01 48:43

do the same work, but not for what I make.

SPEAKER_03 48:45

I want to know, like, how do you do that every day working with kids? Like Katie.

SPEAKER_01 48:50

Katie's a teacher.

unknown 48:51

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 48:51

Katie's a teacher. It is getting harder and harder by the day. Fifth grade sounds awful. You know, I did nine years of middle school, and I would take that any day. Really? Middle school was better? Middle school was better than fifth grade. Fifth grade in Florida, they're the oldest in the school. Oh. So they are top dogs. Yeah. And I am not sure. That's all it is here.

SPEAKER_03 49:13

Fifth grade is the oldest in elementary schools. Yeah. And so, yeah, I remember fifth grade. Like, I was always a good kid, but like, especially boys were like little turds.

SPEAKER_01 49:24

So in middle school, when I taught middle school, the girls were my worst nightmare. But in fifth grade, the boys are awful. And the girls are still super sweet. They just want to draw you pictures and help you. And I love the girls, but the boys not so much.

SPEAKER_03 49:38

Yeah. Boys are honestly, they kind of just suck until they're like adults. And then they still kind of suck, depending on the mom. If you know we train them right. But yeah, that's why my kids aren't gonna be a little douchebag.

SPEAKER_02 49:50

I mean, I work with kids, so obviously I like kids, but at least I don't have to see the same kids five days a week. I could see sometimes it would be good, and then for the times that it's not, you don't get a break. Yeah, I don't know. That's hard.

SPEAKER_01 50:05

Yeah, it's like in the for so many hours a day. I was asking Ryan recently, like, did you ever did the teachers ever call your parents and like how did they handle it? And he said, No, because I was too afraid to do anything that would lead to them having to call home. And I said, same. And like that's the difference between our generation and the kids that I'm teaching now. Like, there's no fear of their parents because there's no discipline. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 50:30

And I feel like now, like that's what everybody keeps saying about millennial parents, because like they're like, Oh, we're doing this gentle parenting shit, and so nobody, all these kids are assholes walking all over their parents. They're no discipline, and they go to school, and you put them in school, and then they're just abusing the teachers. Right, and then the parents follow up and they're like, Yeah, it's also your fault. Yeah, it's like there's such a fine line on how to like raise like not terrible children. It's stressful. It's very stressful because like some days like Noah's wonderful and she's so sweet, and then other days she's like a nightmare. And I'm like, she's doing this like thing where she's like spitting now, not like spitting, spitting, but like she like pretends. And I'm like, girl, and Gil said that he's if I find out that you do that at school, he said it's gonna be really bad for you. And I was like, dude, I mean, I was like, no, like that's like the ultimate insult. If you spit on somebody, so I was like, girl, I don't know who taught you this, but you better fix it because that is not okay. And she's just like, okay, like, yeah, I'm serious, not a joke. Yeah, spitting is mean and gross.

SPEAKER_02 51:33

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 51:33

And ugh, I could go on a tangent just about taking care of other people's kids.

SPEAKER_02 51:39

Yeah. I could talk about that for hours. Yeah. Yeah. I just don't feel like it's my job to parent other people's kids. It's an awkward position in the world.

SPEAKER_04 51:48

And if you do try and discipline it, their kid, not that you're trying to, but like if you say something, is the parent gonna retaliate on you? Like, oh, don't discipline my child, but you're not actually disciplining your own kid, you know. Right. It's an awkward position.

Respect For Nurses And Workplace Bullying

SPEAKER_02 52:00

Do you feel like there's certain professions that just don't get the respect that they used to have? Like, I feel like teachers are a good one. Oh, yeah. Nurses too. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 52:08

Yeah, nurses are sure abused.

SPEAKER_02 52:11

I can see even some doctors that patient doctors just, I mean healthcare in general, the education system in general. I just feel like those were ones that growing up, like you respected your teacher.

SPEAKER_03 52:23

That's why, like, when you said like nurses don't get the respect, like I feel like, especially where I work, I feel like the doctors, and I feel like I don't want to say this because I don't want to get in trouble, but you know, I I feel like there's certain like hospital systems that are more doctor-driven. And then some places are more supportive of nurses. And I feel like where I work currently, it's like we're just like we're the help. And we like especially ICU, like they think we just like don't matter. And it's like actually, you know, we're the people that are like second by second watching these people and they treat us like we don't matter and that are we just stupid. And that just solidified it for me. I'm like, okay, they really think we are just absolutely worthless, and so that maybe Oh my god, that would have brought me to it too. Yeah. Oh my god, I would have I wouldn't have been able to hold it in. I'm proud of Jenny for not being able to not saying anything at the end of the day. But honestly, that's better because then I have a minute to collect my thoughts. That's true. And then when I see you outside this class, I can you're very calculated like that. I'm such an emotional person. I like would have flown off the handle immediately and would have been like, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna have to come by this class. Yeah, I'm about to fucking put this bitch.

SPEAKER_04 53:34

Can we pause this mock code? Yeah, like actually hold pause. Oh again, I gotta rip someone down.

SPEAKER_03 53:39

I'm gonna talk to you outside. I'd be like, let me teach you what to do when you have a shitty doctor. Yeah. Yeah, this is what you do when your patient codes because your doctor won't come in from home. My God. That's wild. From here's what I'm telling you from experience. Well, anyway, lack of respect. That one's dumb. That one's that's a new one. Oh, and uh, my other thing. My uh uh my friend's patient lit up a cigarette in his room. The whole unit smelled like a cigarette. I was on like the guy was like, Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know I didn't smoke in here. I was like, You didn't see all the signs.

SPEAKER_02 54:08

No, I couldn't do that.

SPEAKER_03 54:09

And I see you bed, and he's got oxygen on like, bro, you could have killed everyone.

SPEAKER_02 54:13

You could have ex like exploded.

SPEAKER_03 54:15

Had an explosion the whole place. Like, what I work yeah. Anyway, so those are my fun stories about that's the craziest thing. Yeah. Oh yeah, and I won't go into it too much, but I was also trying someone tried to get me in trouble this week and made me a bunch, made up a bunch of shit about me. And the bullying continues. Yeah. It's like, who knew grown women could be worse than teenagers? Oh, they are. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 54:40

It's the ones you at least expect. Yeah, it's always the quiet ones.

SPEAKER_03 54:44

Yep. You take an environment where it's all women working together, all the good. We're our own worst enemies, though. Yep. Like, it's so annoying how like we can't just be like, like we are on the same team. Why are we trying to set women back years? I don't know with our dumb, like catty bullshit.

SPEAKER_04 55:02

It's so annoying. I can't stand that. I'm just here to do my job. Can we just do our job and leave the bullshit?

SPEAKER_03 55:06

That's why I'm like, I don't even want to make friends. I don't want to be friends.

SPEAKER_04 55:09

I just need to like clock my hours and make sure all my patients are good and then I'll like trying to get paid.

SPEAKER_03 55:15

I'm done being nice to people. I'm gonna be nice to people that I like, but I'm just gonna be like straightforward, matter-of-fact.

SPEAKER_04 55:21

Yeah, I I'd rather just not work, but I'd rather just not. We've had that conversation.

SPEAKER_02 55:26

I don't know. Y'all said different last yeah. I think that's what it is too. Like, if I'm gonna spend my time away from the house, it has to be doing something that I don't absolutely hate. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 55:37

There has to be some. So I'm thinking I might I'm trying to find like a work from home or research job or something. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 55:44

Yeah. They're out there. So that's the beauty of nursing. Yeah, that's or I could just be a stripper.

SPEAKER_03 55:50

There's always that. Let me know which strip club you find. Yeah. Yeah. Gabby and I could have a like a duo set. We'd be we'd be a fucking hit. Taylor's Taylor's audience in the audio set. Um except Taylor's the one that's actually posted uh pictures of her body on social media. So tell us it was one ton. Oh my god, meet out with a hot dog. Oh my god, it was one ton. Anyway, well, this was a chaotic episode, but it was fun. It was

Final Laughs And Sign Off

SPEAKER_03 56:22

wrap it up.

SPEAKER_02 56:23

Wrap it up. Well, motherhood isn't perfect, neither are we. Laugh, swear, hug your kids, sip your drink, your mammish, and that's it all. Bye bitch. Bye. Bye.

SPEAKER_03 56:32

You gotta say bye, Katie.

SPEAKER_02 56:33

Okay, bye. That's realistic.
