Speaker 1: I'm excited to be hanging out with not only y'all,
Speaker 1: but also Abby Is on this weekend. What's up? Abby?
Speaker 1: What's up? We got a lot to talk about. Because
Speaker 1: you are at the number one spot. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: give it away right now. We're not gonna get there yet.
Speaker 1: You're just at the number one spot. That's cool. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: I got a lot to talk about this week. We're
Speaker 1: gonna dive right in. Coming in at number seven. We
Speaker 1: talked about the experience I had with the sixty seven
Speaker 1: dollars bagel. A lot of drama in my life on
Speaker 1: this day for no reason, Yes, and that's just what
Speaker 1: it is. And I'll let you guys hear the bid
Speaker 1: on the just the Best Bits so you can hear
Speaker 1: why it was a sixty seven dollars bagel. But I
Speaker 1: also want to talk about something else that's been happening recently.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you've seen anything or experience
Speaker 1: anything crazy lately in public. Have you had anything that's
Speaker 1: happened and you're like, wow, that was weird. Well, it
Speaker 1: was funny when you were saying that, because the exact
Speaker 1: same thing happened to me. I don't want to give
Speaker 1: it if you're not going to give it away what
Speaker 1: it is. No, go ahead and give it away. I
Speaker 1: share our story. Yes, okay, they'll hear the sixty seven
Speaker 1: dollars bagel. Okay, that's true. No, Well, I was going
Speaker 1: in to get I ordered online. Was gonna go inside
Speaker 1: and pick it up. And I parked real quick, and
Speaker 1: it actually took longer than I thought in there. I
Speaker 1: was in there like ten minutes when I come out
Speaker 1: and there is a ticket on my car. Wait, was
Speaker 1: it also a bagel? No, it was Chipotle. It was
Speaker 1: also a bagel. Then dang, will you live the same
Speaker 1: life on different days? You know? But I was mine
Speaker 1: was like the same price, and I was like, are
Speaker 1: you kidding me? All I wanted was like a seven
Speaker 1: dollar bull and I'm walking out it's like, yeah, like
Speaker 1: eighty bucks. And what makes me mad is the parking guy.
Speaker 1: I think he was right there and he watched me
Speaker 1: go in, like he watched me, and they sit in
Speaker 1: their cars, yeah, and they wait for you to leave.
Speaker 1: I have noticed. I thought that was so mean. I
Speaker 1: was like, you could get you could have given me
Speaker 1: a warning, like, hey, I'm gonna have to give you
Speaker 1: a ticket if you don't like pay or something. And
Speaker 1: this was the one where it's like the first hours free.
Speaker 1: You know, wait then why did he give you a ticket?
Speaker 1: Because I didn't have the receipt in there, That's what
Speaker 1: I put on there, no receipt in dash. And I
Speaker 1: was like, so ironic that the first hour is free.
Speaker 1: I get like the way that they keep it on
Speaker 1: track that an hour is free by like showing the
Speaker 1: receipt in the dash, because otherwise you could say it's
Speaker 1: only been an hour if you've been there for five hours. Yes,
Speaker 1: I get it, but it's just weird that the irony
Speaker 1: of them saying it's the first hour free, but they
Speaker 1: still give you a ticket. Yes. I didn't even realize that. Really,
Speaker 1: I didn't know the rules of that parking lot. I
Speaker 1: was just like, I'm gonna be in and out, no
Speaker 1: big deal of it. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you and I both learned the lesson that if you're
Speaker 1: in Nashville and you're parking anywhere, it's likely not free, right,
Speaker 1: and they're watching you they're watching you walk in and
Speaker 1: they're like ha ha yeah, and they sit in their
Speaker 1: cars and they watch you and they and they do
Speaker 1: that because they don't want you to yell at him.
Speaker 1: That's my that's that's my thing. Listen, I take you know.
Speaker 1: I feel totally bad for these people because this has
Speaker 1: to be a very hard job. You probably you're just
Speaker 1: trying to do your job. This is what you got
Speaker 1: hired to do. But like everybody thinks you're the hole. Yes,
Speaker 1: And so they sit in their cars with because they're
Speaker 1: scary scared of people. No. I had thought about that too.
Speaker 1: I was like, I would hate to have that job
Speaker 1: because you're making people's days really bad. And honestly, I
Speaker 1: think I would do any other job beside that one. Yes,
Speaker 1: like just about anything else beside that one. Like that's
Speaker 1: like the opposite of pimp and joy. Like it's the
Speaker 1: like complete opposite, you know. It's like, oh, especially like
Speaker 1: if it's a minute over or like they just they
Speaker 1: were parked there for five minutes. Yeah, I'm like, y'all
Speaker 1: come on, Also, parking lots like y'all got don't have
Speaker 1: anything more important for people to do than just sit
Speaker 1: there and control people who park in the parking lots.
Speaker 1: I know that's how they make their money. I know.
Speaker 1: As far as other things, other crazy things, I don't really.
Speaker 1: I guess my my month has not been crazy enough.
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. I have another one that happened
Speaker 1: that was interesting. So I had went to a restaurant
Speaker 1: for a birthday party and as we are walking in
Speaker 1: a cake and cookies got confiscated and they were They
Speaker 1: told us that it's an FDA regulation against FDA regulations
Speaker 1: to have outside food or drinks in there. And I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't think that's an FDA regulation. I
Speaker 1: think that's just one of your rules, which is fine
Speaker 1: if that's one of your rules. But I found it
Speaker 1: very ironic because I had just been at the same
Speaker 1: restaurant for a dog birthday party that had cake and cookies,
Speaker 1: no issues. And it's not like you were bringing in
Speaker 1: an alcohol, right, No, so that shouldn't that's that would
Speaker 1: be FDDA or something. Yeah, And like, I just didn't
Speaker 1: understand it. I've never been at a place where they
Speaker 1: didn't allow, for like a birthday to bring in a cake.
Speaker 1: Did you stay? We ended up staying because there was
Speaker 1: like thirty people there. I'm like, it's also not like
Speaker 1: they were not getting business. They were getting a lot
Speaker 1: of people to buy a lot of drinks and a
Speaker 1: lot of food, right, I don't understand that. I've never
Speaker 1: seen that either. And they confiscated until the birthday girl
Speaker 1: laughed and she's like, hey, can I have my cake
Speaker 1: and cookies? And they gave it to her as she
Speaker 1: was leaving. Well in the world, any time I go,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, can I bring plates? Like do you
Speaker 1: need silverwear? Like that's so weird. Yep, I've never heard
Speaker 1: of that happening. And so maybe if somebody's like in
Speaker 1: the FDA and know something that I don't know, and
Speaker 1: like there's certain restaurants have just always allowed it and
Speaker 1: they're not supposed to. Yeah, I don't know that is.
Speaker 1: But this place also like they do run on tips
Speaker 1: if you're on the inside. If you're on the outside,
Speaker 1: you order at the bar and then you go sit outside.
Speaker 1: So maybe it's because they, you know, they have no
Speaker 1: shame with they don't have to worry about tipping and
Speaker 1: anything like that. They just are doing their jobs, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Maybe like servers allow it because
Speaker 1: they want it to be tipped good. Yeah, that's so weird.
Speaker 1: Is that strange? Yes, just weird things that I keep
Speaker 1: running into and I'm like, why are these things happening?
Speaker 1: Why are they? Another why is why do I go
Speaker 1: to a place now and I pay fifteen dollars for
Speaker 1: high noon? Like you know, like are they fifteen dollars?
Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding. Like the little one when we
Speaker 1: were at the hockey game for you, you you had said
Speaker 1: that when you're buying your drink, You're like, why this
Speaker 1: fifteen dollars? Yes, because I was gonna get the big
Speaker 1: one and I was like I don't need that. I'm
Speaker 1: going to be walk around with this gigantic you know,
Speaker 1: truly or whatever. I was like, I'll just get a
Speaker 1: small one and whatever. And it was still fifteen. I
Speaker 1: was like, I could buy a whole eight pack or
Speaker 1: twelve packet. How they get you drunk and how they
Speaker 1: get you spend money? Yeah, it's great, there's another thing,
Speaker 1: but yeah, everything's just expensive and Nashville that's another part
Speaker 1: of that, and a lot of places because of inflation,
Speaker 1: I believe, yes, inflation. Well, besides weird things going on,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about also some cool things going on.
Speaker 1: We had Jordan Davis on the show this week and
Speaker 1: it was really funny. He played a Jordan game in
Speaker 1: a Davis game where he had to name the famous
Speaker 1: Jordan and the famous Davis. If he did well, he
Speaker 1: got to talk about his new album. He didn't do
Speaker 1: very well, and that was pretty hilarious. But just speaking
Speaker 1: of artists and people coming in, I recently saw Nico
Speaker 1: Moon in concert and it was so good. I was
Speaker 1: there too, but I got there kind of late and
Speaker 1: I didn't see you, but I saw your Instagram. I
Speaker 1: was like, she's here too. Yes, it was so good.
Speaker 1: So love his vibes. He's very like Beechy Country. I
Speaker 1: would say he's like in the realm of the next
Speaker 1: Kinney Chesney. Yes, very much. Those vibes like good, good vibes.
Speaker 1: But what is it good times? Good times? Yes, like
Speaker 1: that is like the definition of him. He is the
Speaker 1: most happy guy and it's yes, Yes, it was a
Speaker 1: really good concert. I'm glad that somebody else felt that
Speaker 1: way to it, because I'm I've been a huge fan
Speaker 1: of his for so long that I you know, when
Speaker 1: you're like a big fan of someone, you're not sure
Speaker 1: if you're like, um, seeing a bigger picture. You're just
Speaker 1: kind of like zoned in on them. There's a word
Speaker 1: for that, but it is not coming to my mind
Speaker 1: right now. But you know, I just didn't know if
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I love him so
Speaker 1: much that he's just so good and maybe he's not
Speaker 1: that good, but I'm glad to know that he's just
Speaker 1: that good. Yes, and I liked seeing him in that
Speaker 1: setting too. That was cool. Yes, like an actual concert
Speaker 1: because I guess we've only really seen him in studio
Speaker 1: and that's just kind of like acoustic or whatever. So
Speaker 1: like he his songs like really need like a full band. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they need the whole vibes. Yes, so that's not the
Speaker 1: whole good energy. Yes, you know, Okay, he was really good.
Speaker 1: Have you seen anybody else in concert that you really liked? Okay?
Speaker 1: I just saw fits and the tantrums. Oh yeah. And
Speaker 1: it was so random. My friend just texted me it
Speaker 1: was Valentine's Day and I was like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: sit at home, so I'm not gonna I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: to that. And it was really fun, talk about like
Speaker 1: happy and yeah, so much energy. It was so fun.
Speaker 1: They are I would say in the alternative genre. Yeah,
Speaker 1: isn't that kind of realm okay? And had you listen
Speaker 1: to their music before it all? I knew like three
Speaker 1: of their songs, but like all of them were so good,
Speaker 1: Like I was just in a really good mood. Is
Speaker 1: that a type of concert where they're like jumping up
Speaker 1: and down? Yes? So where you jumping up and down? Yes?
Speaker 1: I was. And it's like that's one of the ones
Speaker 1: where you don't know how to dance to it. My
Speaker 1: friend and I were even talking about that. She's like,
Speaker 1: how do we dance to this kind of music? Everybody
Speaker 1: was like wild, There was just like no any like
Speaker 1: people were just crazy. But it was really fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like the imagetween of like grinding and two step
Speaker 1: in Yeah, like where is that middle area? Exactly? Like
Speaker 1: those are ones you're like you know how to do those,
Speaker 1: but this I have no it and just go why
Speaker 1: I don't even know, but it was so fun. That's
Speaker 1: a good one, and they are really good. Anybody else
Speaker 1: you've seen it? Feel like you've been busy lately? Yeah.
Speaker 1: I went to Megan Maroney too. She had like the
Speaker 1: showcase deal. Yeah, where like a lot of label people
Speaker 1: go and it was so good. Like I only decided
Speaker 1: to see more songs of hers. Yeah, like Tennessee Orange
Speaker 1: was really one of the only ones I knew. And
Speaker 1: then I'm not pretty I knew that one. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: she just released that one recently, yes, yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: I was so impro I'm excited for her album. Like
Speaker 1: I didn't know much about her, and I got to
Speaker 1: talk to her, Like she came around and like said
Speaker 1: hi to people, and I was like, she's so sweet.
Speaker 1: She's also gorgeous duo, Oh my gosh. It is a ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And I think she has like a stylist. I'm like,
Speaker 1: how fun would that be? Stylist? You know, just be
Speaker 1: like this is how I want my hair to day.
Speaker 1: Oh right, that's my dream at least like big events
Speaker 1: when you're like, yes, taking pictures and doing a whole
Speaker 1: lot of things. Yeah, just like events like that, like
Speaker 1: be like, oh I'm doing this, Hey you do my hair? Yeah? No,
Speaker 1: and it on mine. Whenever I do big events, it's
Speaker 1: me in the bathroom trying to watch YouTube video and
Speaker 1: put my hair up, and I'm like, that's not gonna
Speaker 1: go quiet as I planned. Is that what you do?
Speaker 1: Like you do like tutorials. Oh yeah, because like whenever
Speaker 1: I do red carpets or anything like that, I like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to pay anybody because I'm not getting
Speaker 1: paid to go do red carpets, Like it's just part
Speaker 1: of kind of the job essentially, and so I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna pay more than i'm getting, right right, there's no
Speaker 1: benefit of that. So I'll be on the YouTube tutorial
Speaker 1: and I'll be like I need this for makeup and
Speaker 1: I need this for my hair, and then I'll spend
Speaker 1: like three hours beforehand trying to figure it out, and
Speaker 1: I'll think I get it, and then I like have
Speaker 1: to redo it, and it's just it's a disaster. Like
Speaker 1: that is a stressful day for me. My gosh, No,
Speaker 1: you always look so good, like it always does look
Speaker 1: like a professional does it. But if I appreciate that,
Speaker 1: but just know that it's me and my bathroom stressing
Speaker 1: out for like three hours trying to figure it out,
Speaker 1: and you just mastered Like the what is it? I
Speaker 1: had it that yes, that I sat on one Friday
Speaker 1: night and I was just literally practicing my cat eyes.
Speaker 1: I am not getting it. I say that, like I
Speaker 1: do this scrap that's hilarious because you would think it's
Speaker 1: not that difficult, right, but I would think it is.
Speaker 1: And then you start to do it and you're like,
Speaker 1: I like, you think you got a steady hand, but
Speaker 1: you don't. And they're not even you have to start
Speaker 1: over because you're like, oh, this one goes up too much.
Speaker 1: I've not mastered that so well, and I have learned.
Speaker 1: I will say, like the pro tip that I've learned
Speaker 1: in the cati, because the caties are so popular right now,
Speaker 1: is that you can do them and then use like
Speaker 1: I use I'm going to pronounce this wrong my cellular water,
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's. Yeah, the miss like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, just saying missiler. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know because I've never heard anybody say it before.
Speaker 1: I don't know. But I use that and I like,
Speaker 1: what if if it's too thick, or if it goes
Speaker 1: up too much, or it goes a different direction, and
Speaker 1: use a qute tip, put some of that on there,
Speaker 1: and I like, wipe it and then I just kind
Speaker 1: of readjust it. Oh, so pro tip, like you don't
Speaker 1: have to get rid of the whole thing and like
Speaker 1: start all over. You just kind of use that and
Speaker 1: like afterwards too, I'll put kincealer and make like a
Speaker 1: straight line it's like totally straight, instead of just leaving
Speaker 1: it as it is. I kind of like basically I
Speaker 1: color and then color on top of it. Okay, yeah
Speaker 1: that's if that's it makes any stance at all. I'm
Speaker 1: still learning, but that's helped me a lot. Another one
Speaker 1: that I cannot get a smoky eye Like it's like
Speaker 1: the best look, but I look like a raccoon when
Speaker 1: I do it, Like it's so like under my eyes
Speaker 1: it's so dark. I just can't do. The smoky eye
Speaker 1: is on the is the eyeshadows it is. But I
Speaker 1: feel like you can do the one where it's below
Speaker 1: also have you seen that? Well, you can do if
Speaker 1: I ever and it was really bad for my eyes,
Speaker 1: which is why I've really stopped doing it. But if
Speaker 1: I ever wear eyeline or below, I always have to
Speaker 1: put it on the inside because otherwise if I don't,
Speaker 1: it like melts down my face. It does. I put
Speaker 1: eyeliner on the top, but not the bottom. No longer
Speaker 1: the bottom. Oh wow, Okay, yeah, I feel one that
Speaker 1: works like the liquid eyeliner that doesn't that like stays good. Well,
Speaker 1: And I don't know why. I think for so many
Speaker 1: years I put it on the inside of my eye
Speaker 1: that off, I put it underneath. It just looks weird
Speaker 1: to me. Wow. Yeah, I never know. It's really bad
Speaker 1: for your eyes. You're not supposed to do it. You're
Speaker 1: not because that's right there. You're basically drawing on your eyeline.
Speaker 1: Oh you are. You're one hundred percent drawing on the eyelieline.
Speaker 1: It is not good for eel Oh my gosh. Yeah no,
Speaker 1: I did that for a little bit, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't think this is good. This this hurts. I
Speaker 1: know when it never hurt. But I was like, I
Speaker 1: know this isn't about For whatever reason, I liked it
Speaker 1: better than the look of the other one I got.
Speaker 1: I started putting some brown ish eyeliner on the bottom
Speaker 1: sometimes if I really want my eyes to pop, yeah,
Speaker 1: or I'll put kind of like a light I'll take
Speaker 1: eyeshadow and put white eyeshadow underneath my eyes or on
Speaker 1: the inside of my eyes. And that I have done that. Yep,
Speaker 1: that helps the eyes pop. But yeah, now I just
Speaker 1: stopped wearing it on the bottom altogether. Wow. M well,
Speaker 1: I didn't even notice. Well. Also, TikTok told me that
Speaker 1: if I wear it on the bottom, it makes me
Speaker 1: look old. So what I'm doing everything wrong? Listen, TikTok
Speaker 1: told me in a lot of ways how old I was,
Speaker 1: and I was like, dang, that's why I started like
Speaker 1: practicing in my eye makeup. I was like, I gotta
Speaker 1: like change this up because of what I'm doing right now,
Speaker 1: I am apparently very old. Yeah, it's I look at
Speaker 1: other people's and I'm just like, man, how did you
Speaker 1: do that? I don't even have any on right now.
Speaker 1: I just I don't. Yeah, but you look good without makeup,
Speaker 1: like you look very pretty. I would have never known
Speaker 1: you to have makeup on today. Really well, I mean
Speaker 1: I still have a little bit of my life room. Well,
Speaker 1: hate didn't come off last night. Hey, you know we
Speaker 1: love a little extra leftover from the night before. I
Speaker 1: will say too, There's something I'm super insecure about. And
Speaker 1: it's gotten better as I've gotten older. But when I
Speaker 1: was in high school, well like middle school, right before
Speaker 1: high school, I had really bad acne and I had
Speaker 1: gone to like a dermatologist, and I had tried everything,
Speaker 1: and there was this is where I found out I
Speaker 1: was allergic. This is like me getting super vulnerable, right.
Speaker 1: This is where I found out I was allergic to sulfa,
Speaker 1: which is like in a lot of medications. You are. Yeah,
Speaker 1: It's also in some beers and some wines. So if
Speaker 1: you ever get headaches after drinking certain things, it's in.
Speaker 1: It's like soul fights. Oh good to know. Yep. Well
Speaker 1: that's why I never drink wine. I never feel good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: particularly red wine, which is why I don't drink a
Speaker 1: lot of red wine. Okay, Yeah, Like I think bud
Speaker 1: Light Platinum at one point when that came out, had
Speaker 1: it in there. Oh geez, random things. I'm learning so much. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I had. But I did this product from the
Speaker 1: dermatologist and it was the only thing that started to
Speaker 1: finally help my skin. And it was like basically the
Speaker 1: solfa based like white makeup wipe that was like not medicated,
Speaker 1: but it was something made specifically to like take away
Speaker 1: makeup and all this stuff. And I loved it and
Speaker 1: it finally helped. It finally had clear skin. But what
Speaker 1: that product did was it like basically took out all
Speaker 1: the pigmentation from my face. So like I've always been
Speaker 1: very white I'm like, I joked that I'm vampire white,
Speaker 1: but I am, like, I'm very, very light skinned. But
Speaker 1: my face became a total different color from the rest
Speaker 1: of my body. Like I was like, if you could,
Speaker 1: my skin is like light skin and that's what most
Speaker 1: people have, but then my face was like a whiteboard.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And so I never go out of
Speaker 1: the house stole at least having some type of like
Speaker 1: bronze or face makeup on because my face is such
Speaker 1: a different color from the rest of my body. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gotten as I've gotten older, some of that pigmentation
Speaker 1: has come back because after we realized what was happening,
Speaker 1: I stopped using that product obviously, but it was too late,
Speaker 1: like the damage had been done. That's crazy. And only
Speaker 1: until like maybe the last five years where it really
Speaker 1: has come back, where it's like I can finally and
Speaker 1: now I'll go out in public and not wear makeup.
Speaker 1: But like for so many years, I never wanted to
Speaker 1: wear makeup, but I didn't have a choice. It was
Speaker 1: literally like I was two different colors. It was a
Speaker 1: wild and that can't be good for your skin. No,
Speaker 1: it's like bleaching your skin kind of mean, because I
Speaker 1: was like drying out the acne. Right, that's like what
Speaker 1: it was doing. Well, great product, I mean, like my
Speaker 1: I never had problems after that. That was shortly after
Speaker 1: Shortly after that product is when I finally went on
Speaker 1: birth control, and that was the only thing that actually
Speaker 1: ended up helping and keeping it to go away. My
Speaker 1: hormones were so bad. Wow, yeah, because I'd also started
Speaker 1: I mean, listen to you, am I, but I started
Speaker 1: my my aunt's flow when I was in fourth grade.
Speaker 1: What I was young? What? Yeah, So like everything happened
Speaker 1: for me at a very like quick rate in the world. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So my hormones were not like doing well. And the
Speaker 1: only thing after that product that finally helped was getting
Speaker 1: on birth control, which is I've never been able to
Speaker 1: be off of it because my hormones will go nuts wild.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, being a girl, man, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: being a girl suck. Yeah, it's a lot. Uh huh.
Speaker 1: So that that was a crazy experience for me. But
Speaker 1: um yeah, and I don't even know how we got here.
Speaker 1: But how did we get here? Makeupgan and how pretty
Speaker 1: she is things Megan, I don't know we got a
Speaker 1: makeup Honestly, the hair oh, the her stylist. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: the stylist. Yeah, yeah, that's where we got there. I
Speaker 1: was like, I was looking at my notes that I
Speaker 1: was like, we're talking about Nico Moon and concerts. How'n
Speaker 1: get that off track? Love it? It's fine. No, that's
Speaker 1: the best part about the best when we go off track.
Speaker 1: So but yes, back all of that to say that
Speaker 1: there was a lot of things I wasn't able to
Speaker 1: do when I was younger. So now I love exploring
Speaker 1: with makeup and like just sitting there and teaching myself things,
Speaker 1: especially with the help of TikTok. When I see all
Speaker 1: the young people and I know I'm not all I'm
Speaker 1: still considered young, but I see younger people than me
Speaker 1: and they're like, do this, this will like make your
Speaker 1: face look not so old, and I'm like, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: I'll try it. And I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: But this is a lot of trial on her. It
Speaker 1: is a lot, yeah, and it's I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: hard for me to get it, oh, because there's so
Speaker 1: many steps and they're like, do the concealer and do this,
Speaker 1: and then they do like the contouring, but I can't
Speaker 1: blend it right, they put like, I mean, it is
Speaker 1: very dark, and then it's like a line. But then
Speaker 1: they blend it with like the sponge, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't do that. Yeah, I don't do contours. I've
Speaker 1: not taken that plunge. I don't think I ever will listen.
Speaker 1: Just doing the more I like involved eye makeup that
Speaker 1: I do now has taken what U should be my
Speaker 1: fifteen minute makeup routine to twenty five minutes, and I
Speaker 1: appreciate that. I love my fifteen minute makeup routine. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's my max tail. I'm like ten fifteen minutes. I'm
Speaker 1: maxed out. I got the basics. Let me tell you
Speaker 1: all of this. I don't know if you feel this way.
Speaker 1: I don't mind taking showers. I like them. It makes
Speaker 1: me feel good. I hate getting ready. I literally despise it.
Speaker 1: If I can do anything but get ready, I would.
Speaker 1: I hate it, like actually hate it. I mean it's
Speaker 1: like a task. You're signing up for a lot. Like
Speaker 1: you know, I know when I have to take a shower,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to blow dry my hair, straighten it,
Speaker 1: then curl it. Like it's just a lot. It's not
Speaker 1: just like oh I can get out and you know
Speaker 1: it'll be dry, and I walk out the door, It's
Speaker 1: like no, it is like do you are you ready
Speaker 1: to take this? On? Ext an hour and a half
Speaker 1: of like NonStop, just like go, go go. And sometimes
Speaker 1: when I really don't want to get ready, I'll start
Speaker 1: watching TV and I'll bring my makeup and my bull
Speaker 1: dry over in my room and I'll just like watch
Speaker 1: TV and sit there and I'm like, this is dumb.
Speaker 1: I hate being like a f a woman. That's not
Speaker 1: easy for me. I feel you and you always work
Speaker 1: really hard and you always like get ready. I never
Speaker 1: see you when you're not like presentable, like because most
Speaker 1: people won't see me when I'm not presentable. Abbe I
Speaker 1: just hide out my house. So I'm like, I don't
Speaker 1: want to do anything. Okay, they go are late, they
Speaker 1: go together. That's fine. That's why I've never seen it, Okay,
Speaker 1: unless I'm like working out. That's the only other time
Speaker 1: I really don't have makeup on, like on the weekends
Speaker 1: or anything like that. Yes, well that's why I've a
Speaker 1: hat on right now. I made no effort today. Hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, there's a lot of days that you
Speaker 1: deserve to not show effort because it's a lot of
Speaker 1: work being ready as a woman. Right, it's been a
Speaker 1: long week. Yes, you've had a good long week, which
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to that. We'll put a bow on
Speaker 1: this the one that I am going to. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you also got this in vibe. But going to Morgan
Speaker 1: Wallen's listening party for his new album? So was that
Speaker 1: a listening party? Is he gonna be there? Though? I
Speaker 1: don't be there? Is he? Is this the one that
Speaker 1: Marathon music works? Yes? I okay, So it's like Monday, Tuesday,
Speaker 1: and Wednesday. There's three of them. Yes, And I was
Speaker 1: looking on there and it's three dates each day, so
Speaker 1: I don't actually think he's gonna be there. Interesting, but
Speaker 1: you're still gonna hear new music the new album before
Speaker 1: it comes out. Yeah, So there's that. Yeah, that's definitely
Speaker 1: a new twist to things. We're gonna have to look
Speaker 1: at that because I mean you had to because I
Speaker 1: was I didn't like get an invite like a different
Speaker 1: and so I was like looking at the tickets and
Speaker 1: it's like thirty dollars to get in, and it's like
Speaker 1: a sound of visual experience where you like listen on
Speaker 1: headphones and everything, and they have interactive stuff. And then
Speaker 1: I saw people were like, Oh, he's not gonna be there,
Speaker 1: but I feel like he's gonna make us a he
Speaker 1: has to make an appearance. Wait what Okay, well, this
Speaker 1: is the one that email I got Sam was from
Speaker 1: his label. Okay, so I didn't even know that might
Speaker 1: be different because I know for fans they have it's
Speaker 1: still at Marathon Music Works, which is still a thing
Speaker 1: at Marathon. I didn't realize it was like a whole,
Speaker 1: like three day Yeah, look at them. I had. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me see because it says like Morgan Wallace would
Speaker 1: like to invite you, but I don't know that that
Speaker 1: means you would be there. It also says there's a
Speaker 1: drinks and bites provided it doesn't say in small print
Speaker 1: Morgan will not be here. I don't know, No, it doesn't.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. This one invite only Okay, well that month
Speaker 1: that might be different than but it is the preview experience.
Speaker 1: I'm so curious what's going to happen? I am too. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess we'll we'll find out what day is it on?
Speaker 1: You know what. But at least you get free food
Speaker 1: and drinks and listen to the new album before it
Speaker 1: comes out exactly. This one's on Wednesday is one of
Speaker 1: my mom Wednesday, Yeah, I think so. It was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Speaker 1: and it was like three separate times each day, like
Speaker 1: one was five to six thirty, and then one was
Speaker 1: seven to eight thirty, and then one was like nine
Speaker 1: to ten thirty. Oh, this one's in the afternoon. It
Speaker 1: was a lot happening. Okay, so it's different. It's different,
Speaker 1: but I think it's the same concept. Yeah, that's cool though.
Speaker 1: So everybody's going to get to here this new album,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm sure he'll be at yours at
Speaker 1: that one. I don't know, but I mean I RSVP
Speaker 1: to go, mostly just because I love hearing music before
Speaker 1: it comes out, especially because I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: ever seen them, but I do like a first listen Friday.
Speaker 1: It's on iHeartRadio's Twitter, and I'm the only country one
Speaker 1: on there. The rest of them are like pop and
Speaker 1: hip hop, and so I'm like the country one. So
Speaker 1: every time it's like what comes out on Friday, and
Speaker 1: they're like Morgan, what's going on in the country world.
Speaker 1: It gives me like a leg up when I get
Speaker 1: to hear it before I listen like six am Friday morning, right,
Speaker 1: and you can actually be like, oh, it's good instead
Speaker 1: of just saying it's good and it's really not. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Typically you can only listen to the songs like once
Speaker 1: over before we do the live. It's like literally like
Speaker 1: a first listen, Like you hear the song one time
Speaker 1: and it's like, what's your initial reactions and thoughts and
Speaker 1: it's super cool. This one we were supposed to be be
Speaker 1: having like a special guest on this past Friday one.
Speaker 1: So maybe it happened, maybe it didn't. I don't know
Speaker 1: at this moment that we are recording what happened, but
Speaker 1: uh yeah, we'll see. So at least it helps in
Speaker 1: that capacity, so we'll see. Yeah, I'm now intrigued. So
Speaker 1: if I am too, Oh man, I didn't even I
Speaker 1: didn't get in. They were all sold out, Like it
Speaker 1: didn't even work for me. So hey, I can bring
Speaker 1: a plus one, you can come with me. I don't
Speaker 1: think I can. My guess is I am not able
Speaker 1: to oh because it's Morgan Wallen and everything else to go.
Speaker 1: But if I can bring a plus one, you'll be
Speaker 1: my day. Oh I would love to Yeah, let me know,
Speaker 1: I got you. Speaking of Valentine's Day, I definitely want
Speaker 1: to get into some Valentine's Day conversations because you know,
Speaker 1: and maybe February eighteenth, nineteenth whenever you're listening to this.
Speaker 1: But this past week we did have Valentine's Day and
Speaker 1: at the Number five spot, Bobby with Ronnie Dunn's helped
Speaker 1: surprise a listener's wife with these Brooks and Dune tickets
Speaker 1: that he had bought her. It was really cool moment
Speaker 1: and it was for Valentine's Day. But Abby, I want
Speaker 1: to talk about Valentine's Day because you and I are
Speaker 1: both single as a yeah, yeah we are, And you
Speaker 1: told me that you spent your Valentine's Day at a concert. Yeah,
Speaker 1: fits and tantrums. Did you do anything else on the day?
Speaker 1: I really didn't. It was like a normal day. This
Speaker 1: was a there was a lot going on like this
Speaker 1: week with like all the National Anthem stuff and everything.
Speaker 1: So my head was that was like the last thing
Speaker 1: on my list, Like well because Monday, Monday, I sang right,
Speaker 1: and then Tuesday with Valentine's Day. Yeah, so I was traction. Yes,
Speaker 1: I was just like still like on a high from
Speaker 1: that from last night, and then I went to appointments
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm not going to sit home
Speaker 1: alone though, Like I was working and I was sitting
Speaker 1: on the couch in my friend text. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna go. I don't want
Speaker 1: to sit home alone. Did you avoid your phone? Because
Speaker 1: I know when I first opened my phone up on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: I was I saw like maybe ten things. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm out, I'm out for today. Yeah I saw enough
Speaker 1: like flowers and chocolates and yeah. Yeah. And it's funny
Speaker 1: because I don't want any of those people to stop
Speaker 1: posting that. Yeah. I love that they're happy, but like
Speaker 1: when it is flooded on your feed and you are single.
Speaker 1: I was sitting there like, dang, this is really depressing
Speaker 1: for me, I know. And I'll like, I'll be honest,
Speaker 1: I've never had like a Valentine, a Valentine's Day full on,
Speaker 1: never had a Valentine valent you know what happy. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. It's not all it's cracked up
Speaker 1: to me. And maybe it's because I've dated some scrappy people,
Speaker 1: but well last year, I guess I was dating that
Speaker 1: one guy but it didn't really. It wasn't a very
Speaker 1: like special Valentine's Day. So I've never not that all
Speaker 1: it's cracked up to be exactly, it's really not. That's
Speaker 1: why you buy your own flowers and buy your own chocolate,
Speaker 1: uh huh yeah. And usually my parents are the ones
Speaker 1: that send me flowers and like chocolate cover strawberries, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, thank you. Yeah, so they make me
Speaker 1: feel loved. You don't have to be like feel loved.
Speaker 1: And I think I have them hosted that like, just
Speaker 1: because you don't have this certain love that other people
Speaker 1: are celebrating, you have other loves that you can be
Speaker 1: thankful for. Absolutely, Like my sister always sends me some
Speaker 1: kind of treat and that makes me happy. My parents
Speaker 1: and send me flowers, that's so sweet. And then I
Speaker 1: like that night I went out to dinner with some girlfriends.
Speaker 1: I just my thing was like I don't want to
Speaker 1: be on my phone all day and I don't want
Speaker 1: to sit at home and be sad. Yes, so like
Speaker 1: as long as I do something and I don't look
Speaker 1: at my phone, because I knew if I stayed at home,
Speaker 1: i'd be on my phone right because I'd be bored. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so I was like, let's just do something. And
Speaker 1: we went to dinner and tried a new Italian spot
Speaker 1: which was amazing. Really yes, I have the whole plate apasta,
Speaker 1: which was not good for me, but I did. It
Speaker 1: was so good. Oh my gosh, did you make reservations
Speaker 1: at the time. So one of my girlfriends did. That's
Speaker 1: her things. She loves making like reservations to try new places,
Speaker 1: and so she'll she'll have it like two months out,
Speaker 1: like she's better than dude a million times over. Like
Speaker 1: she's like, guys, I got like three options, so let
Speaker 1: me just know which ones we want. She's already planning
Speaker 1: for next year. How she does, like that's it's the
Speaker 1: best thing ever. So that's awesome. She had that plan.
Speaker 1: She had a reservation for us, which is awesome. And
Speaker 1: so we went and we tried some Italian food and
Speaker 1: we had some one of the other girlfriends bought us
Speaker 1: each a crumble cookie, so we had like a good
Speaker 1: little Galentine's Day on Valentine's Day, Oh, I love that,
Speaker 1: you know what I heard though, or I saw something
Speaker 1: that was like Valentine's Day for single people as Independence
Speaker 1: Day is their independence day was also true, like we're free.
Speaker 1: You don't have anybody telling us where. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I did see another thing that was like, listen, I
Speaker 1: know you're seeing a lot of people get flowers and
Speaker 1: chocolates today, but also let me tell you they ain't
Speaker 1: as happy as they look. And I'm like, yeah, you know, true.
Speaker 1: I know some of these ones that posted, I know
Speaker 1: a lot of stories behind that. Yeah, no, it is
Speaker 1: not the full truth. It's actually very interesting and I
Speaker 1: don't know if this is the case for you, but like,
Speaker 1: since we're both from Kansas, all my friends from Kansas,
Speaker 1: they never post anything for some reason. It's it's weird,
Speaker 1: like they just never post. They just live their life,
Speaker 1: but they don't feel they need to post. And I
Speaker 1: know they're like happily married, but everybody in Nashville or
Speaker 1: other cities, big cities, I feel like they have to
Speaker 1: post everything. And so I just I think that's interesting
Speaker 1: because I'm like, there's really happy couples. So we're not
Speaker 1: even seeing what they're doing for Valentine's Day, I know,
Speaker 1: because they're not posting it. And I love it. I
Speaker 1: love when they don't, but yeah, when I see it,
Speaker 1: I'm like it's just my favorite ones, and they pop
Speaker 1: up when I'm like, I know things and I know
Speaker 1: I adn't happy as it's rusts and jolt sitting on
Speaker 1: your counter right now, Like I know that that's that's
Speaker 1: what comes with being in a relationship and being married,
Speaker 1: and there's more to it. But like if it's more
Speaker 1: to it at the point that you've complained about it
Speaker 1: to people outside of the relationship, right, there's a lot
Speaker 1: to it than just like what's going on with you
Speaker 1: two kind of thing. That's when it gets because you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you were just like complaining or having issues last week
Speaker 1: we were talking, but now everything's great. Yes, And also,
Speaker 1: let me tell you, going out, it was great to
Speaker 1: be with my girlfriends. It was great to be distracted
Speaker 1: not be on my phone. But I'll also say it
Speaker 1: wasn't great being at a restaurant because we were surrounded
Speaker 1: by couples everywhere. Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Speaker 1: At my concert, I was like, I walked in, it
Speaker 1: was literally couple swelding hands. I was like, should I leave?
Speaker 1: Should I go? It was really cute. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you guys are so cute. Yeah, it's like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: really happy for you. Yeah, but I don't want to
Speaker 1: see that those means where or like when people show
Speaker 1: like their love on on TikTok, it's like they'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: you guys are really cute. I'm gonna go sit on
Speaker 1: train tracks now, like you don't actually mean it. It's
Speaker 1: full on probably not an appropriate joke, but like they
Speaker 1: do say that, yes, or on TikTok where they're driving,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna act like they're gonna like swerve off
Speaker 1: or like just kidding. Yes, Like dark humor is not
Speaker 1: normally my thing, but I just it's like the idea
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, at least we're all in the boat
Speaker 1: together and seeing all this sucks for all of us.
Speaker 1: It also like gives me hope though, like I'm like,
Speaker 1: I know it's out there, like I know it is.
Speaker 1: It is a perfect timing. Listen, I'll see hope as
Speaker 1: as right mentioned on show, I see blood red on
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. After that, though, I see hope just on
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, I don't. I'm like, yeah, I'm like it's
Speaker 1: a made up holiday anyway. Really, oh yeah, but listen,
Speaker 1: Like the best part though, I love this because the
Speaker 1: minute one of us gets in a relationship or like
Speaker 1: we're love and it's amazing and we have Valent's d
Speaker 1: We're gonna post about all the time. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: the best thing ever. Oh no, I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: not judging these people because I would be exactly like, yes,
Speaker 1: I just accept where I'm at in this place in
Speaker 1: my life, and it isn't. I cannot handle seeing these
Speaker 1: things on social media right now. Yeah, it definitely doesn't
Speaker 1: make things easier. It's just like a jab. It's like,
Speaker 1: oh ouch, someday, I know. So yeah, there. I wish
Speaker 1: I was like a safe space to go on Valentine's
Speaker 1: Day where you don't sit at home and be lonely,
Speaker 1: you don't sit at home and look at all the
Speaker 1: things on social media, and you don't go to a
Speaker 1: restaurant because that's also where they all are. So like,
Speaker 1: I need a safe zone. Yeah, we're Valentine's Day for singles.
Speaker 1: I don't know where you go. I know there's like
Speaker 1: the what is it the Cupid like I hate Cupid
Speaker 1: or something like that, like the bars do or it's
Speaker 1: like the single like m I hate I don't even
Speaker 1: have some some are bars need to pick up like
Speaker 1: a goals party, yeah, and do like a vibe for
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day where it's like not couples allowed. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think they've done that before. I used to go to
Speaker 1: that and I was like this, No, I just is
Speaker 1: it weird? Yeah? I just enjoyed it, didn't look it sane?
Speaker 1: Is next year, I just need to throw a singles
Speaker 1: party and just be at my house. Oh yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: y'all can't be on phones. We're all together, Okay. It
Speaker 1: just has to be on Valentine's Day. Uh huh. It
Speaker 1: can't be before because Valentine's Day. Listen. I love that
Speaker 1: people do the Valentine's Days before and after, but I'm like,
Speaker 1: y'all don't realize the day that matters is Valentine's Day. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love love and I love self written all of
Speaker 1: us in our friendships. This is great. Like Valentine's Day,
Speaker 1: I'm screwed. You know what I mean to like on
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day? It has to be something happening. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: was on Facebook and there's like this group, like a
Speaker 1: girls group in Nashville, and someone like posted and she
Speaker 1: was like, look what my boyfriend did for me, and
Speaker 1: she's like, hey, show me your pictures what your man did.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I can't look at this.
Speaker 1: That just gave me like the chill of like not
Speaker 1: in a good way, of like I know, I don't
Speaker 1: want to see that. And then someone was like, where
Speaker 1: are you finding these men? And I was like, I, yeah,
Speaker 1: where are you? Where are they they on Amazon? Of that, yeah,
Speaker 1: I wish. Okay, well we're gonna we're gonna bounce from
Speaker 1: you know, we got it out. We got our feelings
Speaker 1: of Valentine's Day out, and I hope some people can
Speaker 1: relate because listen, I love love, I love that people
Speaker 1: are happy. But I just needed a moment to get
Speaker 1: all that out of my system. I think people agree.
Speaker 1: I think we're not alone. We needed that. So you know,
Speaker 1: now that that's passed and that has happened, what's something
Speaker 1: that you're really excited about? And I'm gonna tell you
Speaker 1: why I'm asking this because I learned that Barney is
Speaker 1: making a comeback. I'm so excited. Oh my gosh, wait
Speaker 1: wait is it a cartoon one? So that show, yes,
Speaker 1: and they'll be it'll be out in twenty twenty four
Speaker 1: and I'm really excited because I feel like it's gonna
Speaker 1: be cool. I love when things that you loved growing
Speaker 1: up make a comeback because then it means more generations
Speaker 1: get to experience it, and like, you know, you don't
Speaker 1: just have this thing that gets lost to the atmosphere
Speaker 1: and it's never talked about again. And Barney was such
Speaker 1: a big part of my childhood so much that I
Speaker 1: like dressed up as him for Halloweens. Like we loved Barney.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's so crazy to think about. So
Speaker 1: kids today have probably haven't seen Barney because that's like
Speaker 1: they're like millennial parents were introduced it. Yeah, Like that's
Speaker 1: so wild to me that. I mean, that's what we
Speaker 1: like in that song, like I love you, you love me.
Speaker 1: We're a happy family with a great big again. I
Speaker 1: kiss from me to you. Won't you say you love
Speaker 1: me too? Oh my god, day. I know the last
Speaker 1: time I heard that song, I was probably what six,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Yeah, that's crazy, and that like that
Speaker 1: came out of the vault for me, Like he started
Speaker 1: seeing that. I was like, oh yeah, I know this
Speaker 1: there was just like a natural I was a natural
Speaker 1: reflex sing the Barney song. Wow. See that's how much
Speaker 1: it touched our lives exactly. So I'm just really excited
Speaker 1: to know that another generational it to love Barney. Maybe
Speaker 1: not in the same way because he's animated. He's getting
Speaker 1: his own like animated TV series will be a little
Speaker 1: bit different. He absolutely looks different because he's not a
Speaker 1: guy in a costume. A little more yeah, yeah, more modern, yes,
Speaker 1: But I'm just glad that he's getting the recognition that
Speaker 1: he deserves. So I agree excited about Yes, everybody needs
Speaker 1: to know Barney. Excited to Barney in their lives. Yes,
Speaker 1: they need to kind of love you in their lives.
Speaker 1: What are you excited about anything? Well, I'm excited, speaking

Speaker 1: is here. I love weddings, though you love, I love them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't love traveling for weddings. I don't love that
Speaker 1: I live away from everyone and I have to travel
Speaker 1: for the weddings all the time. I'm the same way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I don't mind having to go somewhere, but like
Speaker 1: the fact when you live from everyone else, it's like
Speaker 1: you're the one traveling, right, I know, And you miss
Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff too because you can't get
Speaker 1: there in time, and like the flight, you're basically relying
Speaker 1: on the flight when you can get there exactly, and
Speaker 1: like hoping that you make it back in time to work. Like,
Speaker 1: there's so many factors you don't like fully get to
Speaker 1: enjoy if you're just like already there, I know. Yes,
Speaker 1: so yeah, but I'm very excited and which I'm assuming
Speaker 1: you're traveling for this wedding. Yeah, it's in Kansas City,
Speaker 1: so they're always in Kansas City. I know it is
Speaker 1: a direct flight, so I like that, but still I'm
Speaker 1: just like, oh no, it's annoying because they're already everybody's
Speaker 1: there and they're like riding together and stuff. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: if someone get me from the airport, right, You're like,
Speaker 1: I need a ride somebody. When I went to my
Speaker 1: friend's wedding in Kansas City last fall, she picked me
Speaker 1: up the bride. Oh it was the day before, thankfully,
Speaker 1: but she was like, oh, I'll come get you. She's like,
Speaker 1: everybody else is doing everything, I'll come get you. This
Speaker 1: will be fun for me. Yeah, it's like to kind

Speaker 1: then you'll do it because I'm a lightweight. Madeline Edwards
Speaker 1: also stopped to buy the show this week, and it
Speaker 1: was really cool to hear her perform, which he can
Speaker 1: go watch on YouTube Bobby Bones Show. It's so good.
Speaker 1: She just had a killer voice, killer performance, and I
Speaker 1: loved having her in. But what was really cool about
Speaker 1: her interview is that she talked about how she got
Speaker 1: her start in music. She was singing jazz at this
Speaker 1: millionaire's restaurant, which is really cool. Like, you love hearing
Speaker 1: the stories of artists and how they get started, and
Speaker 1: this was a cool story. So I want to talk
Speaker 1: about our job evolutions for us, Well, that looked like
Speaker 1: when we got started. So break it down for me
Speaker 1: from like your first job at like sixteen, or maybe
Speaker 1: it was later your first job to now. Okay, so
Speaker 1: my first job was in high school. I think my
Speaker 1: junior year at Mcalister's Deli okay, sandwiches soups. Yes, but
Speaker 1: I was doing sports and I just like could not
Speaker 1: commit trying to do like sports and um like homework
Speaker 1: and all that. So I didn't do it very long.
Speaker 1: And then in college I was a server at a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of places. So I was in Wichita, Jose Peppers,
Speaker 1: it was Mexican. It's still there at it and I
Speaker 1: haven't been there since. And Red Robin, which it was
Speaker 1: Red Robin. Yeah. Sorry, I'm just like an instinct right now.
Speaker 1: That is a lot of Sorry, I'm still scar I'm
Speaker 1: just very scarred from being a server. Um, I have PTSD,
Speaker 1: like I just it was not for me. It was
Speaker 1: not because I'm a perfectionist and I did so well
Speaker 1: and I still got stiffed so many times people walked
Speaker 1: out on me and didn't tip me, and I just
Speaker 1: had so much anxiety of wanting to do a good job.
Speaker 1: And yeah there's that. What else bella Luna Okay, it's
Speaker 1: a Mediterranean yes, m great which spot? Yes, Yeah. And
Speaker 1: then in college I really didn't have a job. I
Speaker 1: was studying a lot, that's yeah. I was very lucky
Speaker 1: that I didn't need a job. So thank you to
Speaker 1: my parents, Mom and dad, yes, for you know, allowing
Speaker 1: me to do that. But I did try to get
Speaker 1: a job as a server in college and I could
Speaker 1: not like lift the plate. It was an Italian restaurant
Speaker 1: and you had to carry like everything on a gigantic
Speaker 1: tray like over your head, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: am not strong enough to carry this. I was so weak,
Speaker 1: and so they wanted me to put like everything on
Speaker 1: at once. I was like, I can't do this, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: and I remember having to quit like on day two,
Speaker 1: and they were so mad and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to get my paycheck then never mind.
Speaker 1: So there was that, and then my last semester of college.
Speaker 1: This is funny because I actually, I don't know people
Speaker 1: know this, but I got my degree in exercise science,
Speaker 1: so it's like nothing to do with music or anything.
Speaker 1: But she got a degree, yes, okay, And so my
Speaker 1: last semester I did an internship and it was like
Speaker 1: a full time, like forty five hours a week internship
Speaker 1: at a health and wellness center here where I did
Speaker 1: like exercise testing and like cardiopulmonary rehab on people like
Speaker 1: it was really cool, Like I was taking their blood
Speaker 1: pressure and they were like running on the treadmill and
Speaker 1: I would give them like exercises to do and plans
Speaker 1: and and then I went back and graduated because I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't think I want to work in
Speaker 1: like healthcare anymore, because I didn't want to keep going
Speaker 1: on to school. Yeah, I didn't want to like be
Speaker 1: a go back to pt school like physical therapy and stuff.
Speaker 1: I was like, I really want to work in music.
Speaker 1: So I came back to Nashville, and then I got
Speaker 1: a job at I Heeart and I was doing like
Speaker 1: remotes and I was driving like the vehicle and I
Speaker 1: remember I was driving the vehicle that like Bobby's face
Speaker 1: was on. It's really funny. And I was like setting
Speaker 1: up the tent and I was out at like car
Speaker 1: carum whatever What am I trying to say, like car dealerships? Oh,
Speaker 1: you know? And I would set up the tent and
Speaker 1: like give out prizes and all that I'm almost done. No,
Speaker 1: this is great, keep good. So I did that for
Speaker 1: a while and then I was like, okay, I can't
Speaker 1: live off of part time, you know. Yeah, So I
Speaker 1: got a job at a video production company at in
Speaker 1: the operations like operations manager. So I basically ran the
Speaker 1: office in Nashville and we did like tours like for
Speaker 1: the video screens and cameras for concerts and tours like
Speaker 1: Blake Shelton, Florida, Georgia, Line, Reba, like so many. And
Speaker 1: I was like in the office and I did that
Speaker 1: for five years, and I was like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to just like sit in an office and do all
Speaker 1: this office work all the time. You know. I like
Speaker 1: to be out and about. And I also had other
Speaker 1: things I wanted to do, like saying and yeah, I
Speaker 1: just were being an artist. Yeah, I just wasn't focusing
Speaker 1: on why I like moved to Nashville and then um
Speaker 1: the opened up with the show and I got that job,
Speaker 1: and here I am, so yeah, I've done a lot
Speaker 1: of different things. Evolution of jobs for you, yes, And
Speaker 1: why didn't you ever want to pursue the exercise science thing?
Speaker 1: I don't it just I was like, I live in
Speaker 1: Nashville and I didn't want to not say I tried.
Speaker 1: I think I just kind of got pushed into healthcare
Speaker 1: because I was like a health freak in high school.
Speaker 1: In college, like I worked out all the time, and
Speaker 1: I ran and I ate really healthy, and I loved
Speaker 1: like science classes and all that. So I liked what
Speaker 1: I did in school. But then I graduated and I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, what am I going to do with
Speaker 1: my life? I mean I could work at I actually
Speaker 1: applied at the Why and they paid nothing. You know,
Speaker 1: you would have to go on to do more like
Speaker 1: a like a personal trainer or something like that. And
Speaker 1: I was just like, I just don't think I would
Speaker 1: be happy doing that. And I was like, I want
Speaker 1: to work in music, and so I just networked and
Speaker 1: tried to see what was out there, like as far
Speaker 1: as because I grew up listening to country radio and
Speaker 1: like country music and I've wanted to live in Nashville.
Speaker 1: I was like, I want to work in it in
Speaker 1: some capacity, I don't know what. And I also want
Speaker 1: to try singing. But then I put that on hold
Speaker 1: because everybody it's very intimidating here obviously because everybody's things,
Speaker 1: you know. So but I was like, I'm gonna see
Speaker 1: where it takes me. I'm kind of like it, just
Speaker 1: see where it takes me. Person. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that's good or not. I don't even know, I didn't
Speaker 1: really have a plan, and so I was always kind
Speaker 1: of jealous of people that did. And I think you did,
Speaker 1: you know, And like there's certain people like aif they
Speaker 1: know they want to be a firefighter from when they're
Speaker 1: a kid, and they that's all they go after. And
Speaker 1: I was like, I didn't know what I wanted to do. No,
Speaker 1: you explored a lot of different avenues. I think it
Speaker 1: gives you more clarity when you're at this point in
Speaker 1: your life to know that, Okay, I'm doing what I
Speaker 1: really love to do. Because I explored a lot of things.
Speaker 1: I think that's something that's there, Yeah, in not knowing
Speaker 1: what you were going to do, right, because some people
Speaker 1: they do just kind of go on one track and
Speaker 1: they just stay on that track because they're comfortable and
Speaker 1: they don't want to like make the change. But I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I moved to Nashville not knowing anyone,
Speaker 1: So I was like, I have nothing to lose at
Speaker 1: this point, you know, And there's so many more opportunities
Speaker 1: in Nashville anyway than in Kansas. So yeah, that's fair
Speaker 1: that I felt the same way. That's why I couldn't
Speaker 1: stay as much as I wanted to to be with
Speaker 1: my family. I was like, b don't think this is
Speaker 1: where I can be. Yeah, which it is hard because
Speaker 1: you obviously wanted your family in your life when you're
Speaker 1: at your job and you want to share your life
Speaker 1: with them. But anyway, yeah, I just took a crazy path. No,
Speaker 1: I loved it. See. I love that you shared that
Speaker 1: you are right and that mine did look a little
Speaker 1: bit more narrow. I did have some ideas of what
Speaker 1: I wanted to do. But let's see. So when I
Speaker 1: was sixteen, I wanted to get a job right away,
Speaker 1: and so I went and worked at Buffalo Wild Wings
Speaker 1: as a host, and then I moved from a host
Speaker 1: to the takeout cashier, then from the takeout cashier to
Speaker 1: the exbo and then I became a server, which was
Speaker 1: my goal all along. But I obviously couldn't do it
Speaker 1: at sixteen. You couldn't do it until you were eighteen
Speaker 1: at the time. Oh so, because you had to be
Speaker 1: able to handle alcohol, right that I do remember that, huh,
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's still the case, but
Speaker 1: that was for them, And so I ended up working
Speaker 1: at Buffalo Wallowings for four and a half years. I
Speaker 1: worked there all throughout high school, and then i'd work
Speaker 1: summers when I came back from college, and I loved it.
Speaker 1: I loved like my co workers and it was just
Speaker 1: a really cool environment because Buffalo was like watching sports
Speaker 1: all the time. It's a great time. And so I
Speaker 1: did that. And then one summer I went and worked
Speaker 1: at a brewing company in which show was Shob Brewing
Speaker 1: Company because my old manager from Buffalo ended up working
Speaker 1: there and I had come back for a summer. I
Speaker 1: was like, I need a job. I'm back from college.
Speaker 1: What am I going to do? And so I did
Speaker 1: more starving, and I like, it's funny, I'm the opposite
Speaker 1: of you, but I am a perfectionist. You and I
Speaker 1: are the same in that way. But I loved serving.
Speaker 1: I just I loved talking to people. And like there
Speaker 1: was days I hated it because people would be really rude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you learn a lot about people in those types
Speaker 1: of jobs. But I loved it, like I loved being social.
Speaker 1: I was like a little social butterfly. And I made
Speaker 1: so much money, like just so much stupid money from serving. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was good money and you get to take get
Speaker 1: home that day and like calea and be like, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, they look at all this cash I made
Speaker 1: to day awesome. And I say that as in somebody
Speaker 1: who was in high school and college, like would that
Speaker 1: be good money to me? Now? No, like that's much different.
Speaker 1: But like as a high schooler in college, I was like,
Speaker 1: what what do I do with all of this? Like
Speaker 1: this is amazing compared to a lot of other jobs
Speaker 1: that people were doing. So I did love that, but
Speaker 1: I stopped doing that when I got to the point
Speaker 1: in college when I was doing internships so I can
Speaker 1: no longer work. I was doing free internships and I
Speaker 1: was not fun, but I did. I explored, so broadcast
Speaker 1: journalism was my major. My minor was in leadership Studies.
Speaker 1: I also almost had a minor in French because at
Speaker 1: the time I wanted to be a news reporter and
Speaker 1: I wanted to be bilingual. Oh that's cool, Wait, you
Speaker 1: can speak French? I did at the time. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was cluent like I had. I So I ended up
Speaker 1: graduating college in three years because I had so many
Speaker 1: credits from what had happened to me in high school
Speaker 1: that I basically went to college early essentially, so I
Speaker 1: had a lot of credits, and it was like, if
Speaker 1: I just took a few extra and made one of
Speaker 1: my semesters pretty heavy, i'd finished in three years. And
Speaker 1: I was like, well, it doesn't make sense to pay
Speaker 1: for a fourth year, even though I could, there's no
Speaker 1: reason too. And so had I stayed that extra fourth year,
Speaker 1: I would have taken my last French credit and it
Speaker 1: would have been I would have had a double minor.
Speaker 1: Oh but French was by far the hardest classes I
Speaker 1: had in college. Oh was it? Oh my god, so hard.
Speaker 1: I had to work my butt off to understand that language.
Speaker 1: And I did, like I was really good at it,
Speaker 1: but I just and then like probably a year later,
Speaker 1: I lost it because I never talked to it, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not here. At least you have the other language
Speaker 1: of Spanish, which a lot of people tend to speak
Speaker 1: in more like kind of pot luck, not pot luck
Speaker 1: is that the word I'm thinking form melting pot cities
Speaker 1: like Nashville, you have at least kind of those dual languages.
Speaker 1: But French isn't one unless I were to go to
Speaker 1: Canada or France, Europe, you know, somewhere over there. But
Speaker 1: I did. I loved the language it's so cool. And
Speaker 1: in college though, when I started working for the Hampshire
Speaker 1: magazine that I still worked for it to this day.
Speaker 1: No way, Oh, I started in college. Yeah, so that
Speaker 1: started because my sister, she was basically two years older
Speaker 1: than me, and she was looking for a job and
Speaker 1: she saw this guy on Craigslist and he was kind
Speaker 1: of like a jack of all trades, did a lot
Speaker 1: of things, and he needed some help, and so she
Speaker 1: started working for him, which was crazy at the time.
Speaker 1: We're like, you just found a job on craigslist. Excuse us,
Speaker 1: Like what's going on? But she was in college, needed
Speaker 1: a job and the guy was super nice, and so
Speaker 1: she started working with him. And he has been like
Speaker 1: the secretary of the American Hampshire Sheep Association for years,
Speaker 1: and so he needed more employees and she's like, well,
Speaker 1: I got my sister, and I don't know how many
Speaker 1: times I'd roll and hung over to this freaking cheap
Speaker 1: office and do work because I was in college and
Speaker 1: you know, but I needed to work when I wanted
Speaker 1: to have fun, and so I started that there and then, yeah,
Speaker 1: I still to this day do that side hustle of
Speaker 1: creating the Sheep magazine three times a year. That is
Speaker 1: awesome working on one right now, this is at one
Speaker 1: point that I'm at one. You're gonna have one of
Speaker 1: my jobs. You're gonna be like eighty years old still
Speaker 1: working on the sheep. Yeah. Yeah, someone it's it's it
Speaker 1: helps them and it's easy money for me. It's a
Speaker 1: slide hustle kind of thing. I'm like, why not? Um
Speaker 1: So I do still do that. But when I was
Speaker 1: in college I also did um I got paid for
Speaker 1: I worked on like the sports teams doing video work
Speaker 1: and talk about you know, speaking of production, Like I
Speaker 1: was on the video side of it, and I'd do
Speaker 1: sideliner reporting and all kinds of stuff like that, and
Speaker 1: I'd get paid doing that. It was a whole organization
Speaker 1: within Case State, which was awesome. And so I did
Speaker 1: a lot of journalism stuff. And then after I graduated,
Speaker 1: I didn't have a job for ah. It's the summer.
Speaker 1: It was like June or July that I finally got
Speaker 1: my job with iHeart and Wichita because I had interned
Speaker 1: with them when they were clear Channel back in the day.
Speaker 1: And I got a job through iHeart and which too.
Speaker 1: I was there for ten months and then I was
Speaker 1: at iHeart in Nashville for ten months before the job
Speaker 1: opened up on the show, and I have been here
Speaker 1: ever since. This will I believe this this summer is
Speaker 1: my seventh year Oh wow with the show. Well you know, oh,
Speaker 1: because the show has been here like ten right, and yeah,
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I wasn't in Nashville very
Speaker 1: long before I joined the show, So it's crazy to think.
Speaker 1: And I look back at that now, I'm like seven years.
Speaker 1: I've been here seven years. Isn't that so weird to
Speaker 1: think about? It's so wild when it's funny because we
Speaker 1: used to do a segment on the show called what
Speaker 1: I Believe? The first one was what twenty four year
Speaker 1: olds care about? Okay, and I think I had just
Speaker 1: turned twenty four around the time when I had joined
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, and so and I looked back now,
Speaker 1: and I'm about to turn thirty this year, So that
Speaker 1: is wild. Yeah, just like a crazy evolution of that,
Speaker 1: Like that is a long time, huh, Like I've been
Speaker 1: here almost like ten years. Yeah, it doesn't feel weird.
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like it's actually been that long. No,
Speaker 1: I mean that's a third of my life, which is
Speaker 1: kind of scary. It's incredibly scary. That's weird. It's like, See,
Speaker 1: that's the thing is I always is trying not to
Speaker 1: compare to people, but I'm like, oh my gosh, Like
Speaker 1: a lot of people that I know that have been
Speaker 1: here ten years, I mean they're like married with like
Speaker 1: five kids, and I'm just like, I've been here ten
Speaker 1: years and I'm still in the same page. You know what, though,
Speaker 1: we got a lot to show for that. That's true. Yes,
Speaker 1: you can't go there. We got a lot to show
Speaker 1: for that. That's what my mind does. I know, stop
Speaker 1: doing that. I get it though. We're in our quarter
Speaker 1: life crisis. Yeah, yeah, we are, that's happening right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm glad we shared that. We got a little
Speaker 1: bit more talk about before you head off and jet
Speaker 1: to your bachelorette party. Whoa we had Number three spot.
Speaker 1: Amy shared that she cried in the grocery store aisle
Speaker 1: and why that happened and how you should like recognize
Speaker 1: your feelings and kind of shared a pro tip on that,
Speaker 1: and I loved like hearing that from her perspective. So
Speaker 1: I want to share a life hack because I feel
Speaker 1: like what Amy shared is kind of a life hack
Speaker 1: do you have a life hack to share? You go first,
Speaker 1: You let me go first. So this is like legit,
Speaker 1: straight up life hack. If you have gnats or fruit
Speaker 1: flies in your house, listen. I have a little succulent
Speaker 1: plant that I created when I was on which I
Speaker 1: brought back with me. It is thriving, it's so well,
Speaker 1: but it brought gnats into my house, which I was
Speaker 1: not ready for. When I went to water the other day,
Speaker 1: they all came out and I was like, what is
Speaker 1: going on? It was not prepared, and so I had
Speaker 1: looked online all the ways I can get rid of this,
Speaker 1: because they were just kind of swarming the succulents, and
Speaker 1: so I put a little cup of wine next to
Speaker 1: it with a little bit of apple cider vinegar and
Speaker 1: they all fell into it and died. Really, Oh that worked.
Speaker 1: You didn't have to put anything else in it. Nope.
Speaker 1: So because it's sweet and they attract to like nutrients essentially,
Speaker 1: or like something sweet. It's particularly fruit flies do, but
Speaker 1: like gnats are kind of the same way. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I put wine with a little bit of apple cider
Speaker 1: vinegar right next to the plant and they were all
Speaker 1: in there by like forty eight hours they were all gone,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. I did that one time, and they
Speaker 1: said you have to put like don soap and let
Speaker 1: a bubble so that they get caught in the bubbles.
Speaker 1: But I guess they're they just get so little suckers
Speaker 1: intoxicated by the fumes and they just fall in something.
Speaker 1: I think both work. I think there's a kind of
Speaker 1: an idea of around all of that. But like if
Speaker 1: you don't have don soap at your house and you
Speaker 1: got wine. A lot of people got wine at their house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of people recently have apples, eide or vinegar.
Speaker 1: So you can do one or the other, you can
Speaker 1: do both. I did a little bit of both, and yeah,
Speaker 1: that is awesome because that's a huge problem in my house.
Speaker 1: Is yes, yeah, all every year that happens. I'm like,
Speaker 1: where are they coming from? Yeah, so just get low
Speaker 1: costs and just put a little bit of wine just
Speaker 1: like all over. I'm telling you, they go away very quickly.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna drive. I honestly didn't know that. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got you life act, Oh love it? What you got? Okay,
Speaker 1: Well I have one that okay, So it's about like water,
Speaker 1: you know. In Nashville, the shower water has chlorine in it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's really bad, yes, and it smells really gross.
Speaker 1: But I got a filter for mine. Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: makes my hair feel so smooth and soft. I'm not
Speaker 1: really kidding. Did you get it on Amazon? Yes? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: And so you just change change the filters, but it
Speaker 1: makes it. I mean I can tell a huge difference,
Speaker 1: and my hair doesn't dry it out because like chlorine,
Speaker 1: it's not good for you to like bathe in basically,
Speaker 1: and you can smell it and like taste bad. There's
Speaker 1: nothing good about it. And I got this filter. I'm
Speaker 1: not even kidding. Life changing. I mean more for girls
Speaker 1: probably than guys would care about. But yeah, but I
Speaker 1: mean guys have hair, maybe you know, like maybe it
Speaker 1: helps them not like lose their hair quicker, if that's
Speaker 1: like something in their gene. Yeah, because I'm sure chlorine
Speaker 1: doesn't help anybody with that, right. There's just nothing good
Speaker 1: about It's not good for your skin, your hair or anything.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, hey, okay, I mean I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's really a life back, that's a life hack,
Speaker 1: because like most people don't even know that that exists.
Speaker 1: I don't think I even learn about it until I
Speaker 1: moved to Nashville because about bad the water it's here, yes,
Speaker 1: and it tastes so bad you have to have a filter. Yep,
Speaker 1: I use a filter because it's so bad. You can't
Speaker 1: drink that tap water here. No, So I mean I
Speaker 1: feel like that could help. That's a great life I
Speaker 1: want smooth him. I love that life hack. That's a
Speaker 1: great one. And now now people have wine and filters
Speaker 1: and they will be happier than ever. H Yes, I'll
Speaker 1: like it. We had in at the number two spots
Speaker 1: Becau but Steve shared how he doesn't want to get
Speaker 1: a vasectomy basically, and I he said, I would rather
Speaker 1: have ten more kids than get a sex to me,
Speaker 1: but do you know the power to that situation? And
Speaker 1: that that's all there. I'll just leave that there. Um
Speaker 1: talk about some dating relationship type updates if you want to,
Speaker 1: I'll share. I'll share mine and see how you feel
Speaker 1: you want to talk about anything. But I had seen
Speaker 1: on TikTok recently, and let me tell you this is
Speaker 1: helping me meet guys I r L in real life.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah I got that. Yeah, well I realized I
Speaker 1: was like, hold on, that phrase seems weird saying just
Speaker 1: like in real life over like I r L. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know why, so I always say IRL, And
Speaker 1: then I realize most people may not know what that is.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you clarified. Just not just for you, it's
Speaker 1: for everyone. I always get that, especially like my dad listening,
Speaker 1: He's gonna be like, Marrion, what's IRL. I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: a phone call on Sunday morning, like Dad, I don't
Speaker 1: know what this. Yeah, it'll be a whole thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I saw this. I don't even know who it
Speaker 1: was that was sharing it, but she was like, hey,
Speaker 1: if you're trying to meet guys in person, same would
Speaker 1: go for females as well, Like, you know, if you're
Speaker 1: a guy trying to dake girls in real life instead
Speaker 1: of being on the dating maps or whatever they say,
Speaker 1: make eye contact and keep the eye contact, you know
Speaker 1: how hard? Like And I thought about this because after
Speaker 1: I saw this video and then I was out in public,
Speaker 1: I was like, dang, I don't do eye contact with anyone.
Speaker 1: I see him and out to look down immediately and
Speaker 1: I would look away and I'm like, no eye contact, yes,
Speaker 1: because it's awkward, right, Oh yeah, but I did this.
Speaker 1: I was like, I had got I had a few
Speaker 1: drinks in me a few nights, and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's like make sure to keep at least for a
Speaker 1: few seconds, keep the eye contact. And so I did this,
Speaker 1: and I talked to two guys. I rl, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. I don't plan to like go out of
Speaker 1: them again, but at least it worked. Yes, they come
Speaker 1: up to you, they did. See. That is amazing. It
Speaker 1: worked so And I think that's because like when you
Speaker 1: keep eye contact, it's your way of saying like, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm interested. You can approach like totally cool, yes, whereas
Speaker 1: if you look away, it's like, oh, they're not interested.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go up to them. So it's
Speaker 1: literally saying hey I'm interested without saying hey I'm interested. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like the body line, which you're not going to
Speaker 1: go up to someone that's like looking down obviously because
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like they're interested, which is what yes,
Speaker 1: we do all the time, but we look away. I'm like, oh, awkward,
Speaker 1: don't want to do that. Oh, but see that's the problem.
Speaker 1: When when we have drinks, we can, But what about
Speaker 1: if you're at the store, Like what if you're at twelve, hey,
Speaker 1: start when you're a little you got a little liquid courage,
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, and then you can do it to the
Speaker 1: sober you. Because I have it's at least now that
Speaker 1: I know that it works, I'm like, okay, okay, I
Speaker 1: can get a little more confidence with this. I'm working on.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I have yet. No. The things I
Speaker 1: always wonder is like at different places, like what do
Speaker 1: you say? Like what if you see a guy at
Speaker 1: the airport, what could be something you could say to
Speaker 1: start talking to them? Or like if you're at the store,
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like there's good icebreaker things that
Speaker 1: you could actually come up to them, Like let's say
Speaker 1: you're at home depot, like it could be like I
Speaker 1: actually have done this, and I felt I was so
Speaker 1: proud of myself. I was just like I don't remember
Speaker 1: what I was exactly looking at, but I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like hang this on the wall, like
Speaker 1: what tools should I get? And it actually like that
Speaker 1: was good. I feel like, oh, guys love a damsel
Speaker 1: in distress moment exactly, So that worked. But I'm always
Speaker 1: like I could say, how to get this guy? But
Speaker 1: what do you say you're in target. Yeah, you're not
Speaker 1: just gonna like hi, hi there come here often like
Speaker 1: hey why do I go get drinks? No contexts, just hey,
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, you're right that you need like a
Speaker 1: minimal icebreaker. That's why I liked that they came up
Speaker 1: to you, when they just come up to you. So
Speaker 1: one of them was one of them was totally organic.
Speaker 1: And it happened from that and he was asking me
Speaker 1: a question. So he was with his friends. I was
Speaker 1: with one of my friends, and he was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: we're having this full blown debate, like what's your take
Speaker 1: on it? Great idea. Oh that's so like if you're
Speaker 1: out and about, Yes, great idea to have like a debate,
Speaker 1: even if you're not actually having the debate, but like,
Speaker 1: this is what you want them to give their opinion on.
Speaker 1: Great icebreaker. He did great. Love that. Yeah. Good one.
Speaker 1: The other guy had at least a little bit of
Speaker 1: an icebreaker because he knew the girl I was with, okay,
Speaker 1: and so he came and talked to her and then
Speaker 1: he was like what about you, Like, what's your story?
Speaker 1: What do you do? So it was like she was
Speaker 1: the icebreaker. So that was a little less organic than
Speaker 1: the other one, but he knew I want him to
Speaker 1: approach because I kept making eye contact. I can't look
Speaker 1: over and I give the flirty eyes. I'd be like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it, but you're gonna do it,
Speaker 1: and then you're just over here, like Okay, I've made it.
Speaker 1: You can come over now. But it also helps me
Speaker 1: because like say they're with someone and you do make
Speaker 1: contact eye contact, I can at least know that, like
Speaker 1: I showed you that interest, and if they do have
Speaker 1: a girlfriend, they're not going to come over at least
Speaker 1: I would freaking hope, yeah, I would hope. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: life hack in dating, I make the eye contact and
Speaker 1: keep the eye contact because it's so easy. And I
Speaker 1: even see it out if you're at places people just
Speaker 1: look at their phones because there it's like even walking
Speaker 1: to their car and I'm like, you're avoiding eye contact
Speaker 1: right now, we're passing, yep. Like it's so if you
Speaker 1: see a cute man, you see a cute girl, eye contact,
Speaker 1: eye contact, Okay, keep it, but make sure you're not
Speaker 1: like staring like death stare, Like give a little smile,
Speaker 1: lettle smirk with the eyes, you know, like a death stare.
Speaker 1: That would be weird. You'r RBF if a guy, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, if a guy gave me an RBF for
Speaker 1: a death stare, I'd be like, sir, I gotta go.
Speaker 1: I know he's glaring, but he doesn't know it. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: so smile with your eyes and with your mouth. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it, so pro chef that one I learned. Um.
Speaker 1: I also, I don't believe I have talked about this,
Speaker 1: and if I have, I'm sorry if y'all are hearing
Speaker 1: this again. But I had stopped talking to a guy
Speaker 1: on a dating app. Let me tell you why. Oh no,
Speaker 1: I'm scared. No, you know, honestly, I bet I bet
Speaker 1: you would have kept talking to this guy. What is that? Okay?
Speaker 1: Because he wasn't a bad guy. He didn't do anything wrong, okay,
Speaker 1: But the conversation turned very awkward because, like I had said,
Speaker 1: hey share with me some fun facts about you, and
Speaker 1: so he does, and then I do. And one of
Speaker 1: my fun facts is always that I've been a vegetarian.
Speaker 1: So that's eight years old. It's the easiest fun fact
Speaker 1: for me, and I share that, right, and I share
Speaker 1: like a few others. But he locks into that fact,
Speaker 1: and he goes, well, um, I buy wholk house to
Speaker 1: eat by myself, so I eat a lot of meat.
Speaker 1: He's like a farmer or something. No, it's And I
Speaker 1: also learned from my sister that this is a real
Speaker 1: thing that like families do. They'll buy like a whole cow,
Speaker 1: like that's been processed whatever, but they'll buy the whole cow,
Speaker 1: or they'll buy half a cow for like the whole family.
Speaker 1: I get it. I get that. I also still don't
Speaker 1: even know that was the thing until this conversation even happened.
Speaker 1: That this is very ironic. Yeah, that like both like
Speaker 1: extremes like zero meat to all the meat in the world.
Speaker 1: And so I'm sitting there and I'm processing this and
Speaker 1: I'm like, this isn't a bad thing for this guy.
Speaker 1: But I cannot imagine my life where I am dating
Speaker 1: a man and he has a whole cow broken down
Speaker 1: in my freezer. You have no room for your stuff.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't see that. I mean, something
Speaker 1: that works. It is a compromise. Is that a thing
Speaker 1: at all? Like be like, hey, could you maybe not
Speaker 1: buy like a thousand pounds? I mean, And I'm just
Speaker 1: like I'm thinking I'm like, that's buy himself, that is
Speaker 1: by himself that he buys this. This is not for
Speaker 1: a family, This is not for small children, This is
Speaker 1: not for like five dudes. This is one man buying
Speaker 1: a whole cow often. And you know what he was
Speaker 1: probably thinking too, He's like, and my fridge is gonna
Speaker 1: be full of like lettuce and carrots and vegetables. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't care. So, you know, I just didn't have
Speaker 1: the right thing to say back, so I didn't and
Speaker 1: I didn't say we never met. We had never met
Speaker 1: in person. This is just the exchange on like the
Speaker 1: dating nap. And I was like, you know, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna cut our loss this here because I just don't
Speaker 1: feel like this is the right fit. I feel like
Speaker 1: you could date a girl who's gonna eat that whole
Speaker 1: cow with you and it's gonna be great for you,
Speaker 1: and I am not that girl. Okay. The last thing
Speaker 1: he said was, oh, I eat a whole cow by myself.
Speaker 1: That's kind of god. Yeah, And he was kind of
Speaker 1: like making he was like in a way, be like
Speaker 1: like would that bother you? And at the first when
Speaker 1: I first saw it, I was like, I don't think
Speaker 1: the fact that you do that bothers me. It's just
Speaker 1: the realization that we live two very different lives. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like I could date a meater if they go eat
Speaker 1: cheeseburger at a restaurant or whatever. Cool. Love that it's
Speaker 1: great for you doesn't bother me. But like, you got
Speaker 1: a whole cow in my freezer, Like I get married,
Speaker 1: You got a whole cow just like. I think this
Speaker 1: is hilarious because I've never even had that happened to
Speaker 1: me and I eat me. I wouldn't mind. I know.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I think for you or for
Speaker 1: anyone else, it wouldn't have been like okay, yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying. I think he I'm doing this
Speaker 1: out of fairness to him, that he deserved for girls
Speaker 1: that would eat that cow with him, and that he
Speaker 1: could have that. I mean it concerns me a little
Speaker 1: though with it. He has not much meat for just himself.
Speaker 1: I know, I have talked to us bad. Yeah that
Speaker 1: means he's eating like a whole leg in one day,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah. Um, I don't know how normal that is. Um,
Speaker 1: according to my sister, is normal, but she said it's
Speaker 1: normal for families to do this. He families, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I would continue. I'm be like,
Speaker 1: you got a thing with meat? Yeah? Yeah? Are you
Speaker 1: eating anything else? Or is it just the leg? Because
Speaker 1: I got so many questions, but I couldn't bear. I
Speaker 1: just couldn't. I was like, I'm just going Maybe we
Speaker 1: had maybe exchanged like three or four messages, so it
Speaker 1: wasn't like the end of the world for me to
Speaker 1: stop saying that's something, But I just did you want
Speaker 1: to matchine him? Or just like no, if I just
Speaker 1: left it, I just didn't respond, and he hasn't tried
Speaker 1: to reach out. No. I think he. I think he
Speaker 1: had the same realization that I did that this was
Speaker 1: just not a fit. He's like, both of you just
Speaker 1: like snuck out. I can just see back you like
Speaker 1: it's not gonna see a conversation in person and somebody
Speaker 1: says something awkward and you're both like, well, great to
Speaker 1: meet you, and you run away. This is kind of
Speaker 1: what happened on a dating map. So those are my
Speaker 1: recent stories. That's hilarious. You know, I'm really not active
Speaker 1: on there because every time I do get on, I'm
Speaker 1: very I'm just curious to see what's out there, and
Speaker 1: it's just nothing good. Ever, it's such a waste of
Speaker 1: my time at the moment. They just like don't answer,
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm like, okay, we matched, why are
Speaker 1: you not going to respond? And then I've had some
Speaker 1: guys come back after five months and they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: how have you been. I'm like, we never even like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't understand. They come back, they come from the
Speaker 1: grave site they do, Yep, they're back, and I'm just like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm actually really done. So you full on deleted all
Speaker 1: the apps. I didn't know I didn't delete on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I still look. Just you are still active. I'm not
Speaker 1: act like I don't I don't know. I just tipe
Speaker 1: left all the time. I think I'm just seeing what's
Speaker 1: in Nashville. I don't really know the purpose. That's fair, honestly,
Speaker 1: it gives you. You know, Um, I've learned. This is
Speaker 1: I've not learned. I have heard from therapists. This is
Speaker 1: not the way to do. It is to be like
Speaker 1: inactively actively looking, because you're not like purposefully dating, and
Speaker 1: the purpose is to purposely dating. But let me tell you,
Speaker 1: it makes me feel good when I can match with
Speaker 1: a guy on a dating app, or if I see
Speaker 1: someone I'm like always cute. At least he exists out
Speaker 1: there in the world. Something about that like makes me
Speaker 1: not feel so alone. Yeah, in a way, maybe that's why. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it. Yeah, that could be it.
Speaker 1: It's entirely fair. Yeah, it's just like once a week,
Speaker 1: Like it's not it's like the last page of my phone.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I guess I'll why not just see
Speaker 1: what's out there. It's kind of like me sitting at
Speaker 1: a bar looking around. That's basically what it is, just
Speaker 1: digital like on your phone. Right, that is true, accept
Speaker 1: your fall on. So I mean yes, no, yes, no,
Speaker 1: I can't do that in person. Unfortunately, Yeah you can
Speaker 1: with eye contact. So I think right is making eye contact,
Speaker 1: that's true. And if you don't want to, just don't
Speaker 1: make eye contact, you like look away hard, fast, very
Speaker 1: obviously look away Like yeah, I mean I do that
Speaker 1: now because I kind of get tired of being approached
Speaker 1: by creepers, like honestly, and like when I was in
Speaker 1: Key West that was like perfect example. I would sit
Speaker 1: at the bar by myself and it was people like
Speaker 1: in their fifties, you know, and I'm just like, I
Speaker 1: thank you for talking to me, but I really don't
Speaker 1: want to talk right now, Like I'm enjoying my food,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to have a conversation with
Speaker 1: someone that I don't Yeah. See, do you feel that, like, um,
Speaker 1: the guy that you're after is never going to approach you,
Speaker 1: but all the guys that you never go after will
Speaker 1: approach you. Yes, that always happens for some reason. I
Speaker 1: can't figure out what it is, and I don't feel
Speaker 1: like I don't. And that doesn't say people shouldn't approach.
Speaker 1: You should always approach your in someone, but like I
Speaker 1: just don't. I didn't know if that was just a
Speaker 1: mean thing. Maybe I just hate people. No, it's usually
Speaker 1: never someone I want to talk to, to be honest,
Speaker 1: just for whatever reason, just because they have confidence. Yes, No,
Speaker 1: I do like that, Like I admire you full on
Speaker 1: for going. But maybe wait for the eye contacts or
Speaker 1: something that's the key. Yeah. Yeah, But then if they
Speaker 1: never make eye contact but they were interested in misconnection,
Speaker 1: that's the thing too, because what if she just didn't
Speaker 1: see you, she's busy, she's talking with her friends, and
Speaker 1: then there you are so who knows. I don't have
Speaker 1: the answers obviously, so keep approaching and yes, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: So that that is the dating app update for you.
Speaker 1: Any other updates you want to share? Nope, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna share anything the moment, all right, I'll like it.
Speaker 1: And in that number one spot it is you miss
Speaker 1: Abby sing in the national anthem at the Predators game.
Speaker 1: How do you feel post national anthem? That was awesome
Speaker 1: and crazy and I can't believe it happened. It was
Speaker 1: just very like surreal and cool. Okay, I don't even
Speaker 1: know that you got. Let's feel surreal? You feel cool?
Speaker 1: Do you feel good about it? You feel proud? I do?
Speaker 1: And have you listened back to it? Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I yeah, I've listened back, and I'm so critical. I
Speaker 1: don't like to listen back. I feel like it sounded
Speaker 1: better in the arena because it's just more like echo
Speaker 1: and natural, like echo sound or whatever. When you listen
Speaker 1: back to the recording, I can tell him a little
Speaker 1: nervous when I didn't think I was that nervous. Okay,
Speaker 1: but no, I thought I did better than I thought
Speaker 1: it would. Yeah, I thought you did, know, right, But
Speaker 1: you know, we are our own worst critics. So that's
Speaker 1: why I asked if you were having like a high
Speaker 1: from it or if you like had lows from it.
Speaker 1: I kind of cringe when a video or I start
Speaker 1: hearing a video of it for some reason. But I'm
Speaker 1: always like that on things. I just don't like hearing
Speaker 1: my voice back work. That you're gonna be a singer, Abby,
Speaker 1: I think that's it's important. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm too critical, That's what it is. Have you had
Speaker 1: anybody approached you since the National Anthem? Like professionally, I
Speaker 1: have three contracts like that have been offered. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: I was like about like a lot three record deals,
Speaker 1: you know that. I'm kind of maybe hasn't I reach
Speaker 1: out about doing the national Anthem? Maybe you had like
Speaker 1: I actually have, But they're in different states. That makes
Speaker 1: it a little difficult. Okay, Um, what states? Oh, they're
Speaker 1: pretty far. Like one was Maryland. I think one was Florida.
Speaker 1: You do love Florida? What you love Florida? I know
Speaker 1: it's always Florida. Why is it? But it's a games
Speaker 1: or something that I would love to do. Like they
Speaker 1: they're like we have a baseball game coming up? Can
Speaker 1: you do it? Someone tagged me and like the Wichita,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know how they have a baseball team.
Speaker 1: They're like they're doing auditions. You should do it. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, that's cool. But I can never travel,
Speaker 1: So that's true. You and you'd have to be able
Speaker 1: to travel on weekdays. What if you became the traveling
Speaker 1: national anthem singer? What if I did that? That'd be awesome.
Speaker 1: I totally do that. That could be a thing. Yes,
Speaker 1: Like everybody has their thing that could be that could
Speaker 1: be mine. Yes, And like all the feedback is so nice,
Speaker 1: like people are like, oh, it was so great and
Speaker 1: I love that. And then there's like three people that
Speaker 1: are mean and I look at those and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're so mean, Hey, take them. Don't look at them
Speaker 1: as mean. Take them as constructive criticism. If you can't,
Speaker 1: if they're just so mean and vile that there's not
Speaker 1: even a little bit of criticism, then you forget them.
Speaker 1: You be pushing them out the door. They're not allowed
Speaker 1: in the brain. Yes, But I'm like, I, unless you're
Speaker 1: like Carrie Underwood or you know, like a really good singer,
Speaker 1: I'm like I don't know why you're telling me, Like
Speaker 1: what advice are you gonna give me? Unless you sound amazing,
Speaker 1: then I'm I'll listen. But also like, if you're gonna create,
Speaker 1: like critique someone or criticize him, give them advice on
Speaker 1: how to improve, that's that's like, that's actual constructive criticism. Yes,
Speaker 1: so that is. But when you're just like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: she sounds terrible, I agree with lunchbox. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: thank you, I've heard that before. Thank you. I don't know.
Speaker 1: And then I did see someone they were like, what
Speaker 1: does it? What do you gain by being negative? And
Speaker 1: I was like, that's such a good Like what do
Speaker 1: you gain by posting something negative? You know? It's funny.
Speaker 1: I've had a recent conversation with my mom about this
Speaker 1: of just like people in general, if there's like negative
Speaker 1: energy that you get from someone and it all stems
Speaker 1: from their own personal insecurities, and it's really hard to
Speaker 1: feel that way when you read things and realize that
Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with you, has everything to
Speaker 1: do with him. But this guy from like a cute grandpa,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, why what are you insecure? It's like,
Speaker 1: why do you have to bash me to feel better
Speaker 1: about yourself. But think about it, right, if he's older
Speaker 1: and he's alone and he's sad, or there's things that
Speaker 1: he's gone through, Like, there's also this level too if
Speaker 1: they are older. That quates to pretty much like everyone
Speaker 1: I don't know, seventy and below, right, but older than that.
Speaker 1: I also think there is a level when you get
Speaker 1: to a point at a certain age, because like going
Speaker 1: to the retirement home, I see this a lot. They're
Speaker 1: so brutally honest, and they don't do it to be vile.
Speaker 1: They do it because they don't know any different. They're
Speaker 1: just like, I'm at the end of my life in
Speaker 1: this capacity. Why am I going to care then to
Speaker 1: share anything? Then what actually comes out of my mouth
Speaker 1: besides thinking about it? That's very true. They get to
Speaker 1: a point you don't care, Yeah, and I think that's
Speaker 1: where it comes from. I don't think it's actually like
Speaker 1: I'm doing this to be mean to this poor young woman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm saying this because this is my opinion and this
Speaker 1: is how I feel, and I don't care, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. I do think there's that level for
Speaker 1: that for like much much old, but seventy below. Nah,
Speaker 1: everybody's got insecurities. Yeah, no, that's true. That is a
Speaker 1: good way to look at it. But no, it was
Speaker 1: the coolest thing. I Oh my gosh, it was wild
Speaker 1: and like when I went out there, just like everybody looking,
Speaker 1: here's a lot. It was a lot. But I've I've
Speaker 1: watched you perform in our studio, I watched you perform
Speaker 1: on Broadway, and now I've watched you perform here, and
Speaker 1: this time was the one that I've never I didn't
Speaker 1: hear you sound nervous at all. Yay, good m You
Speaker 1: sounded confident, You sounded excited. Your voice is a very
Speaker 1: clear that makes happen. There was no like like when
Speaker 1: you get nervous, it comes across in the shakiness. Right
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, there's a lot happening, and you could
Speaker 1: still sound really good, but there's still shakiness in there,
Speaker 1: and there's just like timidness. I didn't hear that at all.
Speaker 1: That's what I was nervous about, because yes, when I
Speaker 1: sing in studio, it comes over your throat where it
Speaker 1: just kind of like paralyzes your vocal cords really and
Speaker 1: you want to sing out but you can't. And I
Speaker 1: was like, please do not let that happen here, please,
Speaker 1: And you didn't at all. That's why I'm saying, like,
Speaker 1: I think it was your most and you can tell
Speaker 1: you're putting in the work. You got your vocal coach,
Speaker 1: you're putting in the work. I had it amazing. I
Speaker 1: really think that's what it is, because I sang it
Speaker 1: so many times in front of her, and I don't
Speaker 1: like singing one on one to people like that just
Speaker 1: makes me very uncomfortable, you know, like I'd rather sing
Speaker 1: in front of a big crowd than sing one on
Speaker 1: one to someone. And so I think that just helped
Speaker 1: a lot. Who did you watch the entire time during
Speaker 1: the anthem? What did I look at? I honestly just
Speaker 1: look straight ahead. I had no one that I was
Speaker 1: kind of like black, like you just kind of blacked out.
Speaker 1: It really did. Because the lights were so bright on
Speaker 1: me that it was really like dark the crowd, so
Speaker 1: I couldn't really see them, that's fair, you know, and
Speaker 1: everybody's just really standing there, so it was dark there,
Speaker 1: and I think I just looked straight ahead and like
Speaker 1: zoned out. I was like, don't make eye contact with
Speaker 1: a player, because that'd be awkward. Yeah, and I know
Speaker 1: you didn't look down, you were looking up. Yeah. I
