WEBVTT - Best Bits with Amy: PART 1 0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:06.480 It's the Best Bits of the Week with Morgan number two. Well, 0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:10.120 what is up y'all? It's the last Best Bits regular 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.119 Best Bits edition of the year and this weekend I 0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:16.680 am bringing on Amy to wrap up our normal twenty 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.360 twenty two year. What's up? Amy? Hey Morgan? Thanks for 0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:21.799 having me. Yeah, it's hard to believe it's already even 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:24.079 every time this pops around because we have you know, what, 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.160 do you have eight people on the show you rotate with? Yeah, 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.800 pretty much, And I'm like, has eight weeks really gone by? 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.720 I mean, and that's just I feel a little representative 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.440 of this year. It was super fast in my opinion, 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.879 it does. I feel like it just keeps flying by 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:40.080 like crazy. And I love it though, because at this 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.400 time of year is definitely my favorite. So I'm ready 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:47.040 to get home, ready to spend some time doing absolutely nothing, 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.280 and we're just going to dive into this so we 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:51.680 can talk about all the Christmas things which is coming up. 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:53.840 So I don't want you to reveal too much yet, Okay. 0:00:54.000 --> 0:00:56.560 Coming in at that number seven spot, we had Blake 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.560 Shelton on the show, and he's always super hilarious in 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.240 his view, was really awesome talking about his new TV show, 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:05.520 why he's leaving the Voice, and what he still gets 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.680 excited about in his career. But that's not what I 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.360 want to talk about. What I actually would like to 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.000 talk about is food. Okay, because it's Christmas time and 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.160 lots of food, I can do that. So what is 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.760 your favorite dishes to have around Christmas time? Well, I 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.240 mean Thanksgiving. I feel as though it's always the mac 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.760 and cheese recipe. But my family does the same thing 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.280 for Thanksgiving as we do for Christmas, so it's gonna 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.000 be the same foods, the exact same mac and cheese stuffing, 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:35.200 the traditional Christmas meal, at least in my family. Some 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.679 people do something totally different Christmas and Thanksgiving, but we 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.440 do the same, so ours is kind of the same. 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.960 We do very similar dishes, like they're all mostly the same. 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:45.680 But there's one thing my mom makes every year, and 0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:48.440 it's a homemade red velvet cake and she only does 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.800 that at Christmas time. Only at Christmas time unless it's 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.920 like my sister's, like thirtieth birthday, like some special occasion. 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.480 It is a Christmas time treat. Something we do do 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.160 because we go to Colorado for Christmas and the salt 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.560 Lick is a super famous barbecue place right outside of Austin. 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.920 I was expecting that to be ice cream. No, I 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.720 don't know why. I think there might be a brand 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.680 of ice cream that's something like that. I don't think 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:17.040 you're pulling that out of nowhere. But salt like barbecue. 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:20.280 They ship and some people don't know that they ship, 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.960 but we ship it to Colorado and that's something we 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:28.480 typically enjoy Christmas Eve and so that's not that's something 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.320 at least a little different that I can offer you 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:35.160 up is barbecue. And then every holiday's season, well Thanksgiving 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.200 and Christmas, we always do Tamali's too. Okay, so that's 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.400 not a traditional item at least on your guys as 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.000 a typical menu. Why Tamalies, I think it's because my 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.120 dad's from South Texas. He's no longer with us, but 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.880 it's something he started doing. He would always have friends 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.240 that would make them, and he would want to support them, 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:53.839 and he would buy them. And he would just show 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.799 up with all these Tamali's and they freeze really well, 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.079 so you can keep them in the freezer, buy a 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.680 batch Thanksgiving freezome, eat them all throughout, and then buy 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.960 another batch come Christmas freezome and then you have them 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:07.840 all throughout. So and I'm a big I eat tamali 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.040 with ketchup, which some people might find that to be 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.240 very weird, but don't not get till you dry it, okay. 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.000 And what is it, Tomalie? Is it like wrapped in 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.520 a tortilla? Is it kind of like a burrito? What 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.240 is it? Husk? It's wrapped in a husk, but it's 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:23.079 a corn. I don't know. I've never made them, Morgan, 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.320 but it's like a I don't know if there's lard involved. 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.520 Maybe there is, but it's like this doughy corn thing 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.880 that gets and then you stuff it with either pork 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.240 or you can have chicken, or you can do a 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:38.800 black bean and halapino for yourself since you're vegetarian, or 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:42.160 you can do you know, cheese and haalepeno whatever. I 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.160 was just thinking, is it look kind of like an enchilada? 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.560 I was trying to picture it, Tomalie, Yes it is, 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.880 but it's not wrapped up in a tortilla, Okay, So, 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.280 but yes, it could be that shape, but you know, 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.480 like a corn husk like that? What it looks like 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:56.840 it's folded up and then and you actually eat the husk. No, 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.000 you open it up and eat it's on the inside. Wow, Okay, 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.880 this is fascinating. You never had it, Tomali. No, I've 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:04.760 never had it, Tomalie. I mean, you know. And somebody 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:07.640 eat those. Somebody get this girl from Tomalie's fat. I 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.480 do need some. So we have our red velvet cake. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.720 We also have my mom makes this is like the 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.480 one time a year that she really bakes. Other than that, 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.960 she doesn't bake throughout the year. She's too busy working. 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.960 So the Christmas time I love when it happens. And 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.680 she makes the red velvet cake that is like four layers, 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.600 huge red velvet cake, all like perfect homemade icne. But 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.880 then she also makes a poppy seed bread with homemade 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.600 iccene as well. That's to die for. And these are 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:33.960 this is the only time a year I get to 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.080 have both, and I eat so much. I eat like 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.360 every loaf that she makes of all of this stuff. 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.680 It's so good. So those are like the two. But 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.720 now I want to have tomalies and poppy seed bread 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.680 and red velvet cake. Well, I looked up the definition 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.800 of the Tamali and it says here Tomali's are a 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:52.360 traditional Mexican dish made with a corn based dough mixture 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.839 that is filled with various meats or beans and cheese. 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.800 Tamalies are wrapped and cooked and corn husks or banana leaves, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.920 but they are removed before eating. Okay, so you kind 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.040 it right. I pretty much had it right. I can 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.320 picture them, but I just like, I've never known how 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.200 you eat them because I've always seen the corn husk 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.040 and it always confused me. Well, you're not the first one, asset. 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:15.000 There is someone that on Google they say, are you 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.839 supposed to eat the corn husk on the tamali? I 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:19.360 mean it can't be that bad for your right, it 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.600 says first roll of thumb here when eating Tamali's is 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.919 don't consume the wrapper. Corn husks are not meant to 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.720 be eaten. Upset your stomach. Okay, So don't be in 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.800 any of those man. Okay. Well, I want to get 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.040 into more Christmas time coming up, but we're going to 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.719 keep moving along. That'll be coming, so we're not giving 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.599 away too much yet. We had at number six rejected segments, 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.080 and you were on the rejected segments for the first time, 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.680 like all year well, I think ever, I for years 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.640 we've been doing rejected segments, and to be honest, I 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.040 get a little jealous if you know you don't make 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.400 the list, like you want to make the list, even 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.479 if it's for something terrible that you came up with, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:01.720 because it's in a way it's making us segment eventually 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.320 because it's rejected. So I don't know, even though it's 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:06.440 a rejected segment, it's kind of fun that it popped 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.520 up well, and I like giving a little behind the 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.600 scenes here. We've talked about before on this podcast how 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:13.480 we all have to send it in show prep. Everybody 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.960 sends in personal prep, and we send it news stories 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.200 and that's kind of how Bobby decides what we're going 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.000 to talk about. But we don't know what gets chosen 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.039 until it happens, or it never happens, and so on 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:26.680 the best bits. I'll share rejected segments sometime, But what 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.880 is a segment thinking just in your past year and 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.320 I'm putting you on the spot here that you sent 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.679 and you're like, dang, this is gold, but it didn't 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.760 get chosen. Oh gosh, I know I'm putting you on 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.000 the spot because there's sometimes I'll send something now like, oh, 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.640 this is so good and it doesn't get shows. I'm like, dang, 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.520 maybe so that could Yeah, I've really I mean, this 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.159 is on the spot, so I would have to think 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:48.880 about it. If you have one, you could share it 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:50.640 and then I could think of it. Do you have 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.640 one that you sent in that you wish would have 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.239 gotten played? I mean there are like but I've also 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.960 what I've turned in the best Bits too, is just 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.880 like all of my personal reject acted segments. So the 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.159 things we end up talking about are things that didn't 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.200 make the show, and so it's like best Fits is 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:09.320 personal Morgan rejection basically, oh really, it's kind of like 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:10.840 half of the conduct that comes in, and then I 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.240 make up kind of other pieces of content, but I 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.400 have learned that I've just used them, so they're not 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.800 totally they're rejected from the big show, but not rejected 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:22.960 from my podcast. Well, oh okay, I sent in something. 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.400 I just started to look through my prep and I 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.400 was kind of shocked that this didn't get selected. I 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.440 don't know that it would get rejected because it's bad, 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.240 but I don't know, maybe it wasn't good enough. But 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.240 it's a pro tip for people. Maybe you don't know this. 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:38.600 If you have anything Lululemon, they will exchange anything, even 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:40.320 if you've haven't had it for years, and they'll give 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.160 you a brand new one if there's a quality issue. 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.400 And I learned this tip from my daughter. She heard 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.800 hurt at school that if there's any pilling, you know 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.760 the little balls that form on sabby, like even the 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.760 tiniest amount, that you can go in if you have 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.520 a pair of leggings and say hey, there's pilling right here, 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.000 and if they're indeed it is, then they'll say, okay, 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.520 go grab a brand new pair of leggings. And she 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.200 took a pair of mine from my closet because I 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.200 was like, oh, I don't really believe you. This can't 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.840 really be true. And I said, I'm not gonna be 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:12.200 a part of this. You can go in because I 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.480 was sort of embarrassed. And she went into Lula Limon 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.240 and she did it, and she came out with a 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.360 brand new pair of leggings. What, yeah, I have so 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.720 many with that. I mean, I've just bought like, those 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.160 are my favorite leggings to work out in, and so 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.840 because they're not cheap, so they and I then I 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.640 got curious and I looked it up and let me 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.800 see what I also submitted with the prep when I 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.840 turned that in. Because I was still shocked, so I 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.680 googled Lula Limon's policy and it says that they have 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.400 a quality promise. If our product doesn't perform for you 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.439 will take it back and they stand behind the performance 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.760 of their leggings and yoga gear. So you can claim 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.319 this quote unquote warranty by bringing the leggings and proof 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.520 of purchase to your local Lulu Limen store where they 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.600 can issue and exchange for a brand new pair. So 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:02.360 did you have the receipt for that? Still? How did 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.200 you show proof of purchase? Didn't? So that's that's that's 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.920 from their website. But we I'm just saying we did it. 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:09.160 I So, I don't know. You may have to have 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.200 proof of purchase, but if you have the lu Limen 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:12.600 has the logo, then you know you bought them from 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.000 a lu Lulu Limon store. I mean, yeah, try saying 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:18.880 that fast. Yeah, I mean is there a limit? I 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.480 don't know, I don't know. I guarantee you, Stashier, I'll 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:23.160 go do it for you, though, She'll take five in 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:26.679 That girl is not scared. Yea, I need a stash 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.000 here in my life because I'm like, no, it's okay, 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.760 I don't want for whatever reason? Why does that make 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.000 us feel like embarrassed or weird to do that when 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.079 it shouldn't right? But it isn't that funny? Don't you 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:37.599 think that would be something interesting to talk about that 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.400 a lot of our listeners would want to know about. Oh, 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.560 although I get that not everybody has a Lulua Limon 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.679 in their area, or that you know everybody is buying 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.520 Lulu Limon, but still just something fun to know in 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:50.080 case maybe you do get a pair for Christmas, just 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.320 know if they start to pill or do anything that 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.000 you're not happy with, then go grab yourself a brand 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.439 new pair. Oh heck yeah, and they're expensive, so it's 0:09:57.440 --> 0:10:00.320 a great protex yep. Okay, see there was gold. So 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.679 I'm telling y'all, there's little bits of goal just sitting 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.280 in our prep somewhere that we might not have ever shared, 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.920 and you may never hear it, but we heard one 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.959 of them, and I'm glad he shared it. I had 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:13.360 to include those on the Best Bits this weekend because 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:17.040 everyone is loving Stevenson's radio show they may not be 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.120 very long clips, but everybody is kind of campaigning right 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.439 now for Stevenson to have his own radio show, his 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:27.360 thirty second radio show. Yes is Stevenson or I love it? 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.120 And you know what's crazy is by the time he 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:30.880 gets older, if he just kind of keeps doing this 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.240 over time, he's going to have some radio skills that 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.120 he could put on a resume. Right. No, and this 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.480 is his idea. It's not like I go to my 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.280 kids and say, hey, will you do this for the show. 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.960 I was recording in my podcast room and then he 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.720 sat down on the mic and just started talking, and 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.559 I thought, okay, this is cute. So then I call 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.760 Scoopa Steve and I say, hey, I think we had 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.800 something here, and Stevenson recorded it. He said we could 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.960 use it, so if you want to have some imaging 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:03.240 made from Steve Sikes who does all our Bobby bones, 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:08.720 but you know yea, And they turned it around like quick. 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.200 The next day we had imaging and I played it 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.640 for Stevenson. He approved it. It was awesome, and so 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:16.520 then it debuted and then for the second episode that 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:21.079 he did, episode two of The Stevenson Show, he started 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:22.760 took it a little more serious. He was more free 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.080 flow the first time that I said, of this something 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.880 you want to do, and he was feeling a little 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.560 bit shy about it suddenly because it was feeling real 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.280 to him. So he wrote out what he wanted to say, 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.200 gave himself a script, gave himself a script, and he 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:38.319 read it, and I was just very proud of him. 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.400 And then he said, well, I don't know, you're playing 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:43.280 the whole bit. Yeah, I'll play in the In the 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:44.880 best bit's part two, they'll hear the whole bit, so 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.360 people will hear what happened. But I was like, oh, dang, 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.800 both of my kids are hustlers. They are hustlers. I 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.760 love it. Though. They're learning, like grinding early on, and 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.760 that's pretty cool. What else is going on with life? 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.080 How are you doing? How are like the kids doing? 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.600 How just going? We are ready for break? That's how 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.599 we are doing. This has been one heck of a 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:09.720 year for them too, So I'm excited that they're going 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.800 to get some downtime and to be able to be 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:16.080 with their cousins and to just relax. And you know, 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.080 Stevenson's still twelve. We's to live in the good life. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.520 But you know, Seshira just first semester of ninth grade, 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.760 her first semester of finals and the pressure of high school. 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.440 So I'm excited for her to get that downtime. And 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.160 then I think, as parents too, we are so busy 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.960 during the school year when it comes to kids, and 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.120 so quite honestly, I'm thankful we don't have to drive 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.080 them to school. Everybody want to pick them up from school. 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:39.720 Everybody I want to worry about homework. We don't want 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.560 to worry about studying. So I feel like everybody just 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.160 gets to exhale. There's a normal life stuff that you 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.880 get to sort of hopefully take a break from. But god, 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.760 the mom stuff too, and what comes along with having 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.280 kids that are in school. It's like, okay, so I'm 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.240 sure teachers feel the same way having a Christmas break, 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.520 And you know, I don't know how teachers do it, honestly, 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:04.079 but my kids are doing great, and I feel as 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.360 we're all looking forward to twenty twenty three and what 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.839 it has in store, and we're going to do vision 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.400 boards all together over the break. That'll be fun. What 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:16.040 do you anticipate will be on your vision board? Good question. 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.319 I haven't really I don't. I sort of when I 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.680 get the magazines out and we start cutting, I sort 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:25.040 of just see what speaks to me, or I'll probably 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.200 think of some words that I would have put on there. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.760 I think I have a lot of fear that I'm 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.600 working through because of the unknown, and so I want 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.480 to make sure that I put a bunch of boards 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:40.120 on there that help combat that. Fear is okay to have, 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.000 but I don't want to live in that. I want 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.480 to counter it with something knowing that I don't have 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.680 to be scared for the future and I don't have 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:52.000 to worry about it, and so probably stuff that will 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.920 remind me of that, and then some career goal stuff. 0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.760 Two years ago, I put Delilah on my board. You 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:03.400 know Delilah, Yeah, Lia, some people know or some people don't. Um, 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:04.640 you know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.480 talking about, And I just you know, she just always 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.040 had such a great or has she still does what 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.319 she does such a great way of connecting with her listeners. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.680 And so I'll continue that that goal of creating more 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:21.160 connection and more community by doing you know, a four 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.600 Things live tour. We did the live in which at all, 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:26.320 but I so I want to make sure I put 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.480 that on my vision board, So I don't, you know, 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.280 let let that go because there's fear in that too, 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.400 you know, putting yourself out there, you know, trying and 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.360 just doing stuff. So we'll see what happens. I love that. 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.560 How many years have you now done a vision board? 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.880 Two for sure, two in the last two years, and 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.040 I'm sure I've done some in previous years, but two 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:50.560 in a row, so this would be the third year 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.440 in a row. Have you ever done one? Okay, I haven't, 0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.400 And that's why I'm asking do you feel like it 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.040 has actually like kind of helped you kind of whether 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.760 it's manifest or just kind of align your goals with 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.440 what well in the new year, Like, do you feel 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.720 like it's really benefiting you in that way? Well, first 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.480 of all, I just think it's a fun way to 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.920 process what you hope things could look like. I like processing. 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.560 That's helpful, and it's a it's an activity to do, 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.600 whether with girlfriends or if you want to get your 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.000 kids involved, and then it gives you that visual so 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.760 you can look at it. It It doesn't mean you don't 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.320 work towards it. You have to. It's not like I'm 0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:26.400 just suddenly gonna you know, be Delila and an all 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.720 fairness manifesting is a very real thing for some people, 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.880 like they just say, and it kind of starts to happen. Yeah, 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:35.480 but you're working towards something, and so in having a 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.880 reminder of those goals and what they are, what you know, 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.360 a mindset that you want to have, and so that's 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.240 that's what it is about for me, and I would 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:47.920 encourage you to do it. I mean, you have some 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.520 fun girlfriends that you can invite over and just have 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.600 some wine and put on a fun movie and do 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.520 your vision boards. No, I like this. I'm just getting 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:59.160 all the things because I've never I've never done one before. Okay, well, 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.520 let's say you do do one's do do do do? 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.640 Let's say you decide to make one. What's something you 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:10.080 would put on there? Definitely there will be some career 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:11.800 things on there that are already kind of in the works. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.640 I just want those to finalize and kind of come 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:18.120 out and start to happen. And obviously, love, I would 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.400 love to like have love in my life, whether it's 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:26.880 more relationships with girlfriends or a serious relationship with a partner, 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.800 just love in general that would always stay on there, 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:33.720 and another one is like a growth growth thing for me. 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:38.560 I had a ironically a TikTok I watched, like everybody 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.440 always kind of jokes and they're like, dang, this TikTok 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:42.720 is attacking me. But there was one that pops up 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.920 on my feed and I was like, oh, wow, okay, 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:48.880 haven't thought or heard of that in that way before. 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.240 That really made me think about something just in my 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:56.400 past relationships and things I've gone through, and the fact 0:16:56.520 --> 0:17:00.160 like basically because I've been in a nutshell, what I'm 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.200 What I felt was this therapist was talking about how 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.760 if you've been through a B and C, your body 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:11.080 will live in basically like constant fight or flight mode 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.480 and you won't realize that that's happening. And they started 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.240 listening off all these ways that you live in fight 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:17.919 or fly, and I was like, holy crap, that's me. 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.359 Like I've genuinely been living my life in fight or 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.080 flight and I didn't even know it because of past 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:27.120 trauma things that I've gone through in relationships specifically, And 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.320 so next year will be to definitely try and break 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.760 out of that fight or flight. I think I've started 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:34.159 to I can kind of feel it, you know, when 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.000 you can feel like your life kind of changing, you 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:40.200 feel things or happening. Yes, something's going on, and I've 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.680 felt that, but I do feel like in the next year, 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.160 I'm hoping I can kind of like genuinely break out 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:49.520 of that entirely. And so, but that was new that 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.920 just happened in the last few days where I was like, oh, yeah, 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:53.920 I really need to like dive into this and look 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:55.920 at this a little bit more. And so I think 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.680 that would be on there too, and more volunteer work 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.000 for Rimy and I because she is loving being a 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.399 therapy dog and that is so rewarding for both of 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.400 us and it just fills both our cups. So yeah, yeah, 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:08.280 I think those would all be on there. And I 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.000 think that, yeah, if you can work on getting out 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.760 of that, if you realize that your brain was stuck 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.680 in that, it's gonna be so freeing you'll start to 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:22.040 process of differently. Yes, And I'm scared because I know 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.280 it's going to be like really terrifying because I think 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.760 I've gotten into that to protect myself because of how 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:30.800 much pain I've gone through. But yeah, I gotta get 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:32.560 out of it. Gotta get out of the pain. And 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:34.200 it's a weird it's a weird thing. I think it's 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:35.800 just a little part of me because I don't think 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:37.760 I've been living in pain for a while. I just 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:39.800 think it's been inside of me and just kind of 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.199 sitting there. It's like a little angel on my shoulder 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:44.720 that's just kind of been hanging out for a while. 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:48.200 It's fascinating what our brains can do to protect us, 0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:50.320
