Speaker 2: Hi Catherine, Hi Chelsea, Hi, how are you doing.

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you I need a little bit of

19
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: marital advice. I just found out something my husband did

20
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: that is maybe disagreeable to me.

21
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: So we're heavy.

22
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: Didn't have anything to do with hard boiled eggs.

23
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: No, but I will say my mom came to visit

24
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: last week and within twenty four hours she made two

25
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: separate dishes with hard boiled eggs, so I was very happy.

26
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 5: Hi.

27
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: The irony with how many hard boiled eggs I now

28
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: consume on a daily basis versus my initial reaction to

29
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: your hard boiled eggs on a plane, which I'm still against. Obviously,

30
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: I have this understand against that. Oh, by the way,

31
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: did you hear the news that United is calling out

32
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: passengers that talk on their phones or listen to podcasts

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: or any sort of media without headphones? You'll get moved

34
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: off their flight. So when you go United Airlines, way

35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: to go.

36
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: Yes, that's incredible, that's incredible, And pretty soon they'll be

37
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 3: removing people with hard bold eggs.

38
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure I think that hard boiled eggs are

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 6: kind of like LSD any kind of psychedelics where it's

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 6: like set and setting. You know, you have to have

41
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 6: the right place, right time.

42
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: Not not true. I was. I was worried when my

43
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: k new when Cowboy came to visit me for the

44
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: first time.

45
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I hope he likes

46
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: eggs because they're gonna be everywhere. And not only that,

47
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: I eat four hard boiled egg whites and one yolk

48
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: and it's sad to stop giving all the yolks to

49
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: Doug because of his own cholesterol issues. I was like,

50
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm kill my fucking dog with the plaque with heart plaque.

51
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: So Cowboy loves hard boiled eggs just as much as

52
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: I do.

53
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: And I'm sure Doug Oh also does. Speaking of Cowboy,

54
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: you kind of like hard launched like I did not.

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: I did not hard launch it, and hard launch, I mean,

56
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: it would be very rude to go on vacation with

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: someone several times of who I'm dating and only post

58
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: pictures of myself. That is unacceptable. So I just am

59
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: trying to slip them in there. It's not a hard launch.

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: That's who I'm dating.

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm having a good time in my life. This is

62
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: the guy that I'm with right now. There's nothing to announce.

63
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm just doing my thing and trying to be inclusive

64
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: and represent what I'm actually doing instead of being secretive

65
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: for no reason.

66
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 6: Sharing an igloo together, Yes.

67
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: We're sharing iglus together. Yes, we've shared a lot more

68
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: than that.

69
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: And yeah, flying igloos, saunas and karaoke song yeah, well

70
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: minus the karaoke is the karayok.

71
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 6: You know.

72
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: I think that that's I mean good, I'm glad you're

73
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: having fun.

74
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: I'm glad that's great.

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

76
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: I just don't want to be sultra private or take

77
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: myself too seriously.

78
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: I don't care and I don't want. I don't know.

79
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: I just am trying to be real.

80
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: I'm real as a person who you know, enjoys celebrity

81
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: culture and all that stuff. Like I think that that's great,

82
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: Like so many people are so like it's very very

83
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: hidden until it's not.

84
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like I don't want it just because

85
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: of my relationship in the past that have been public

86
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: and be like, oh no, doing that again.

87
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: I don't care.

88
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: I really just don't care. There's enough shit going on

89
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: in the world.

90
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: I want to spread joy, love and happiness, and that's

91
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: what I'm feeling, so I want people to feel it

92
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: as well.

93
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 3: I do have to tell you lately, I've been hearing

94
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: your voice in my head. Anytime I feel like scared

95
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: to do something or nervous about something, I just hear

96
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: your voice in my head saying like the world is

97
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: about to end, so just like who cares for it?

98
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 5: Yeah?

99
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: But wait, you did finish your marital problem with Brad.

100
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 4: Oh up, So let's go back to it.

101
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 2: Brad.

102
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: You need to get back on the mic because I

103
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 3: need to talk about something that you have done.

104
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 4: Hold on, let him run back.

105
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: To show your face, Brad please.

106
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: Okay, So you need to tell me if I need

107
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: to move on from my marriage because we have some

108
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: people doing some work at the backyard right now. I

109
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: mean it's like hard work. They're like tearing up some

110
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: concrete and stuff. And I said to Brad this morning,

111
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 3: I go, oh, we should tell them they can use

112
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: the bathroom inside if they need to use the bathroom.

113
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 3: And he said, oh, I just told them they could

114
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 3: pee behind the bush out back.

115
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 6: I mean they're guys that we don't need them track

116
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 6: and mud through the house.

117
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 2: That is really funny outside the man.

118
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 6: Yes, well they're only here for like a day. They

119
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 6: didn't bring a porta potty.

120
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

121
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well I think that's actually nice because I think

122
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: men will know where men want to go to the bathroom.

123
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: It's not like women can pretend to know what men

124
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: are their desires are. I'm sure they would rather pee

125
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: outside than come into your house. I worry about not

126
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: making a mess, you know what I mean. So I

127
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: understand your initial shock, Catherine, but I think we can

128
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: let Brad off the hook.

129
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: I think he did the right thing. Actually, thank you

130
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 2: about it.

131
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 6: He was he said, I don't want to use your

132
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 6: inside bathroom?

133
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: Okay better.

134
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 6: I was like, well, there's a bush up back in

135
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 6: the corner. Go behind that. No one will ever see.

136
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: You, no harm and unless you go out into that

137
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 1: area of the bush, Catherine, and then rub your based

138
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: around in the grass, So there's nothing for you to

139
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: be concerned about.

140
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 6: Where the dogs go. It's I mean it is, that's where.

141
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 4: The dogs go. So they're going to have some fun

142
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 4: smells to smell.

143
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 2: Great wonderful.

144
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: So that's a nice treat for them. You're off the hook.

145
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 6: You're off. Thank you for your vote of confidence.

146
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 4: Well, Chelsea, I have an update, and this is from Dwayne.

147
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 3: It's a little long, it's cut down, but it's it's

148
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 3: you know, still okay.

149
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 4: I'm still gonna be long. Brace yourself. So Dwayne had

150
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 4: called in on a mini show.

151
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 3: Yes, actually he's wondering about creatine and how many hard

152
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: Bold eggs he should eat.

153
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: Version's already on the right program, whatever that program is.

154
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: He called in on a Minnesota about his mom's deadbeat

155
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: boyfriend and mom was like older about to have some

156
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: hip replacement surgery and so Dwayne.

157
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 4: Had to go deal with the boyfriend.

158
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: So he says, Hi, Chelsea, just wanted to give you

159
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: an update on how things have gone since getting your advice.

160
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: Before my mom, now eighty one, could have her hip

161
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: replacement surgery, she had to have some tests done to

162
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 3: make sure it was safe for her to go under anesthesia.

163
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 3: Long story short, she chose not to have the surgery

164
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: due to her age and potential risks. As a result,

165
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 3: she'll continue to use her walker and eventually moved to

166
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: a wheelchair. I took your vice and use these surgeries

167
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: to try and talk her into selling her home and

168
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: moving to a senior community. No luck there at all.

169
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 3: I explained how she would keep her independence and with

170
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: the services available at these fifty five plus communities, she

171
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: may even feel more independent along with having a better

172
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 3: quality of life. After visiting her a couple months ago,

173
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: I tried selling this to her a bit more because

174
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: I was able to see she's only able to keep

175
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: up with some of the housekeeping, not to mention the

176
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: difficulty of stars for the second floor.

177
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: She would still not budge.

178
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: Bob the boyfriend is still around, and while he does

179
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: help with some things like shoveling snow and mowing the lawn,

180
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: he doesn't.

181
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 4: Clean the house.

182
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: He's very capable, but no, she still feels he's better

183
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 3: than nothing. On the upside, though, I did talk her

184
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: into taking your advice of going to an elder law

185
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 3: attorney who got everything in order for us.

186
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: Great place me.

187
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, this has a good a good swing here.

188
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: She placed me as her beneficiary and power of attorney

189
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: for both medical and financial.

190
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 4: She also had a lawyer write up a.

191
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: Sworn and notarized affidavit stating that her and Bob were

192
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: just friends living together and she does not recognize them

193
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: being in civil union of any kind, including common law marriage.

194
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: Which is like, I didn't even know you could do that.

195
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

196
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: I also spoke with the attorney on details so I

197
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: could be assured that if anything did happen to my

198
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: mom that Bob had no rights to anything he shouldn't.

199
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: She confirmed for me that he is not on any

200
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: financial accounts and my mom is safe. As for the house,

201
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: that's also ironclad protected from him taking possession, and I'm

202
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: only required to give him thirty days to vacate.

203
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 4: Well, I hope that time is far in the future.

204
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: I have to admit that I look forward to saying

205
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: those four magical words to him, get the fuck out.

206
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for not only the advice you

207
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: gave me, but also your advocacy, educating, entertaining, and incredible humor.

208
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 4: Dwyane.

209
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: Oh thanks, Dwayne. I love that that.

210
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 4: Thank you.

211
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so everything's working out pretty well there. And yeah,

212
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: mom's mom's protected financially, which is great, so good.

213
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 5: I love that.

214
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: I love when our parents are protected financially exactly the

215
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: female ones.

216
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I also love that he went to a

217
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: female lawyer, like great, wonderful one.

218
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, exact.

219
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 4: We love a she when we hear about a layer.

220
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: Okay, So our collor today is Christina and she's calling

221
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: in from Espagna.

222
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: Oh okay, she.

223
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: Says, dear Chelsea. My name's Christina and I'm a thirty

224
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 3: five year old American that's been living abroad for nine years.

225
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 3: I have lived and worked all over the world, from

226
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: Vietnam to Australia and now I currently live in Spain.

227
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 3: I absolutely love my nomadic lifestyle. I've learned so much

228
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 3: about the world, and I've grown so much as a person,

229
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 3: and I feel like I'm a better person because of it.

230
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: But last year, after a trip to Colorado to visit

231
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 3: my family, I found myself considering a move back to

232
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: the United States to be closer to them. My parents

233
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: are getting older and it's hard to see them age.

234
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: I want to spend more time with them while they're

235
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: still sprightly. I miss my two year old niece, and

236
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: I especially miss my sister, who's pregnant again with boy

237
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 3: do in the spring. I want to be a good

238
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 3: auntie and be around to watch my niece and nephew

239
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 3: grow up. I'm very nervous, however, about leaving my safe,

240
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 3: comfortable life in Europe where there are no guns. I'm

241
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: a teacher, free healthcare and affordable cost of living and

242
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 3: a great work life balance to move back into Trump's America?

243
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 3: Am I crazy to abandon the life I've built here?

244
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 3: Thank you, ladies for all you do. Your podcast keeps

245
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 3: me sane and it's the craziness of the world.

246
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 4: Christina Hi, Christina Hi.

247
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: Normally I would say, go be with your family, But honestly,

248
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: I would not move to the United States at this

249
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: stage in the game.

250
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 2: I really just would not. It's not worth it.

251
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: It's too ugly, it's too upsetting. You're leaving a peaceful place.

252
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: I think I just hold on and see what happens,

253
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: and hopefully things start to turn around after the midterms,

254
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: and if not, then then you're gonna have to wait

255
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: another couple of years. But I honestly just would not

256
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 1: come to the United States. It's like, it's like the

257
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: worst decision you could make.

258
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 5: That's my dilemma. I know, That's what I feel like.

259
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 5: Most sensible people would say.

260
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 3: Christina, are your folks having any health crises right now?

261
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: Are they sort of like having trouble with daily live

262
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 3: activities of daily living or is it sort of stable

263
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: at the moment.

264
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 5: They're fine, They're not like so old you know that

265
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 5: they need sure somebody to be helping them all the time.

266
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 5: But you know, I just kind of think about when

267
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 5: am I finally going to come back.

268
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 2: Is it going to be like when one of them.

269
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 5: Needs a caretaker or what if something happens and I'm

270
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: not around. I don't know. I just I haven't felt

271
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 5: this feeling of you know, last year, I went to

272
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 5: visit and I felt like I didn't want to leave

273
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 5: because I didn't want to leave my sister.

274
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 4: I didn't want to leave my family.

275
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 5: And I've never felt that in all of these years

276
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 5: of living overseas. So it's just kind of been in

277
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 5: my head and I'm not sure what to do.

278
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously, you know, if that's feeling is more powerful

279
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: than the feeling of trepidation, I guess to move to

280
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: the States, then you should go with that feeling. But

281
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: I just would never move to the States right now,

282
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: no matter what.

283
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 3: I wonder if there is there an opportunity right now

284
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: for you to like take a month or six weeks

285
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 3: and come visit, so you're not like moving your whole life,

286
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: but you can come spend some quality time with your

287
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: folks and with your sister, like maybe around the time

288
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: the baby comes, or maybe when they get a little

289
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: more settled.

290
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 5: Well, I'm a teacher, so I have to wait until

291
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 5: the end of the school year, which is in June.

292
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 5: So I could go in the summer.

293
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds more reasonable.

294
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: Make it a temporary trip rather than a permanent one,

295
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: you know, and taste it out. Maybe you go and

296
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: like things that are calmed down, you know, maybe like

297
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: things will who knows what's going to happen next. That's

298
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: the state that everyone is that I feel so uncomfortable about.

299
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: It's just like it's very destabilizing and you know, you

300
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: don't know what is going to happen next. So more

301
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: information is better and Spain is safe.

302
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: Stay there right.

303
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 4: Now, Yeah, it's very safe.

304
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'll be there soon.

305
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: Oh good, good good.

306
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 3: I think. Also, because you're a teacher and you have

307
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: a year that you're committed to when you're teaching in class,

308
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 3: one thing you might do is like maybe you wait

309
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 3: till next year to do this, but you might see

310
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: like if you can get a job lined up here,

311
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: or if you can get some interviews, and if you

312
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 3: do get something lined up up and it makes sense

313
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 3: to move in a year year and a half, you know,

314
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 3: maybe that's sort of your sign.

315
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 4: But then you can also like know that.

316
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: You're moving back to have like a job and things

Speaker 3: affecting the trans community. I'm a part of a large

351
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: group of volunteers who put together a website full of

352
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: resources to help vulnerable people leave the United States or

353

360
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: So I thought that was like very interesting that we

361
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: got that email this week.

362
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 4: Well, talking to someone who's.

363
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 3: Considering a move back to this particular shit show. All right,

364
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: well we'll wrap up with a little quickie. This person says,

365
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: Dear Chelsea, I'm writing this email in hopes that you

366
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: can provide some suggestions patients, or some creative alternative. I

367
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: sit next to a mail of course coworker who clears

368
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: his throat incessantly for about an hour after lunch every

369
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: single day.

370
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: That is called acid reflux.

371
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 4: Exactly.

372
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 3: We've counted, and it can be upwards of thirty eight

373
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: throat clears in twenty minutes. Myself and a few surrounding

374
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: coworkers have made subtle and not so subtle comments, think

375
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: handing him mint, offering him to get water, straight up

376
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: asking are you okay over there? He has every excuse

377
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: in the book, from dust, dirt, roads, greasy or spicy foods, allergies.

378
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 3: A few of us even went to HR with no resolution.

379
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 3: We're hoping his desk will be moved, but he has seniority,

380
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: therefore it's not happening. I put in air pods and

381
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 3: plast music or your podcast, and I can hear him

382
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: over it. I've run out of ideas on how to

383
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 3: get my point across and don't see much help coming

384
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 3: for management.

385
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 4: Any suggestions or do. I just need to deal with it.

386
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: You just need to have a direct conversation with him.

387
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: Just make it be about yourself or your husband, like, oh,

388
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: my boyfriend went through this, so I know, or I

389
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: went through this.

390
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 4: I know that's good.

391
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: You have acid reflex. He has acid reflex. I also

392
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: have acid reflex. So if I spoke too many joints,

393
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: my friends have to sit around and listen to me go.

394
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: It's so fucking annoying and I feel terrible. It doesn't

395
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: stop me, but sometimes it does stop me.

396
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 4: Sometimes instagummies for a while.

397
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: I do, I do.

398
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: I try not to, you know, like when I start

399
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: clearing my throat, I'm like, this is a very annoying

400
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: to people. So I think you just have a direct

401
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: conversation and speak from experience, Like even if it's a lie,

402
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: just say, oh, you know, my husband dealt with this.

403
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: I think you have acid reflex, and there are ways

404
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: to help you know. It is kind of a it's

405
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of annoying to hear someone clear the throat all

406
00:16:58,520 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: the time.

407
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 3: Like it's really distracted when I'm trying to get my

408
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: work done.

409
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: If there's something you can do about it, there's something

410
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: you can do about it. I take prevacid, and there's

411
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: also this like vanilla extract online that you can get

412
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: that like kind of it's I mean, acid reflex really

413
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: is reactive to certain types of food and spices and

414
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But it's also when you lie down

415
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: and it like kind of comes alive. But there's acid

416
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: reflex and then there's like another component of acid refracts.

417
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: So it could be any of those things.

418
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: But me and my girlfriend who's here right now in

419
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: Whistler with me, she and I have had.

420
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: A long talks about that real sexy stuff going on

421
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: over here.

422
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 3: Give some tombs at your desk, and like, if all

423
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 3: those pills get some noise canceling headphones because they really

424
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 3: do help.

425
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, noise canceling headphones are good, and that's a

426
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: good idea. And once you yeah, once he walks around

427
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: an office and sees everyone in noise canceling headphones, yeah,

428
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: then I guess there's the situation that you have to

429
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: deal with.

430
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: And then send him the bill for the headphones. Well

431
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 3: that's all we've got for today, Chelsea.
