And right before we did part three, I just 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:29.960 ran up and down some stairs in the parking garage 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:34.000 to get something for lunchbox and I'm out of breath. 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:35.720 I was like, Okay, I might need to work on 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.000 my cardio for a second. 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:40.279 Yeah. I also feel like when you're rush though, too, 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.080 you just get out of breath a lot quicker and 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:43.400 your body's moving very fast. 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.600 Yeah. No, there's a lot of factors involved. I definitely 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.800 feel like I'm like, Okay, I know I'm taking care 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.320 of myself and I'm in good shape, but whatever just happened, 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:54.320 Like I'm oh, maybe it's just time for a break. 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:56.560 Yeah. Yeah, it's definitely time for a break, which we 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:58.720 are going to have, but first we have to answer 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.800 some questions. Okay, We're It was some shout outs, though, 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:03.840 love you both so much. I look up to you all. 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.440 This is from Live in DC. 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:06.400 Thanks Live. 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.520 I love Amy's new hair. Just a shout out from Kristin. 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.000 Oh thank you. I'm trying to get used to it. 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.160 It's not like that much different. But I did have 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:18.080 hair extensions even in my short hair, which is weird 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.160 sometimes for people to be like, wait, why with the 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.760 short because I had them when they were long, and 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.759 then when I cut my hair, I just cut them, 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.480 and so I had really short hair extensions, which did 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.560 make it fuller. But anyway, I didn't realize how much 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.640 blonde was in some of the extensions. And this is 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.480 not a big deal at all, but it's just one 0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.400 of those things where she took them out and then 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.880 I didn't get my hair colored or anything. I'm like, oh, okay, 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:43.839 now I have short hair, and it's just really brown. 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:45.759 Isn't it your natural hair color? 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.200 Pretty much? I mean, there's still some highlights in here, 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.680 but not like the pops of blonde that I think 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:52.640 kind of wake you up or me up. 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.960 I didn't realize that you were naturally like that brunette. 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:57.400 Oh yeah, it's dark. 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:59.560 I mean I see like your eyebrows. I guess your 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:00.840 sister iste, isn't. 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.320 She Yeah, she's almost like dark dark dark brown to black. 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:07.560 And my mom was same way. My dad was the 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:09.760 had the lighter hair. So have you always died your 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:10.360 hair blonde? 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:11.359 This is audit tangent. 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:16.480 No, I've done really dark brown to black before all over. 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:19.919 I mean that's been in my ful gosh, twenty years 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.040 ago or so. When I first joined the show a 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.280 long time ago, it was like really really dark. 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.920 I think I've only known you up until like recently, 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.640 when you were kind of doing more than natural or 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.680 the ombre. Most of the time, I think I've known 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:32.680 you. You had blonde hair. 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.000 Yeah, well my own bray look right now, is gray 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:39.000 hair coming through on the top. They're gonna be sober 0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.400 fox maybe maybe, but it is very freeing. I don't 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.400 know if any of you have had extensions. The first 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.480 time I ever got them put in was after my 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.840 mom died. My hair started falling out like I had long, 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.480 thick hair, and I think that's the most stress that 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.359 I had felt. I don't know. It was just a 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.320 very stressful time with her death, and then my eating 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.800 sort of came back like all the same time, so 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.200 I think my body was freaking out a little bit 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.040 and it's healthier now. But I got so used to 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.639 the extensions it was hard to get rid of them. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.560 But now that they're out, it is so freeing, like 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.960 I take a brush through my hair. So that's why 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:13.280 I say, if anybody's ever had them, you know what 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.720 I'm talking about, Where you can just take a brush 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.240 through your entire scalp and not worry about anything getting 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.000 caught tugging on there. It feels very freeing. 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.440 Oh good, Okay, Well, thanks Kristin. That's a sweet shout out. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.280 No, that was probably an unexpect That was a shout out, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:29.560 not a question, So that's okay. I rambled. 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.240 No, we were talking about hair. No questions. Just want 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.560 to say I love your podcast and the show. Sadie 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:39.119 from Ohio. Thanks Sadie, amazing. Okay, getting into questions now, 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.760 Any Haitian traditions you incorporate into your holidays Merry Christmas 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:44.200 from Gin. 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:49.120 No traditions that the kids remember and want to bring in. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.200 I don't know if there are any. We do it 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.760 throughout the year. Just a couple of weeks ago, we 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.720 went to our Haitian spot here in Nashville and picked 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.680 up food to go, and we go home and we 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:03.240 have Haiti Night, our Haitian night, and you know, we 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.280 try to just talk about Haiti as much as possible, 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.800 talk about their families. I think it would be natural 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.720 for me if it's Mother's Day, Father's Day, not as 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:14.880 much Father's Day, because they really don't ever talk about 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.120 their dads. They just talk about their moms. And I 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.039 know who their moms are. I do not know who 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:23.320 their dads are, but I would say Christmas family time, 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.719 it may bring up thoughts for them. So we just 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.600 try to talk about it all the time so that 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:33.599 it's not difficult if it comes up during more sensitive times. 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.040 Because they were so young, like when they were in Haiti, 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.320 do they have any Christmas traditions that they were not doing. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:42.960 That's why we don't have any that we have to carry. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.320 The main thing for them is the food. They love 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.080 the food, so I try to make sure just you're 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.280 around to have that. Or if we're having a family 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.400 meal around the table for the holidays, like I would 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:57.840 imagine next week we'll be at my sister's, I could 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.240 see us doing some fried plantains or making some rice 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.120 and beans to go along with the Christmas meal, because 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.520 that's what they would enjoy with certain spices and seasonings 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:08.120 that they love. 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.760 I was wondering what those recipes would be, because I'm 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.360 not sure what Haitian food is specifically like to them. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.200 Yeah, there's a specific set of spices that they're used to. 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.839 But even the ones that I have bought here in 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.839 America that are the same thing come from a Haitian 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.760 cookbook that I have from our Haitian friend Mark that 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.359 lives here. He made a little cookbook. And we do 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.799 have Haitian friends too that will all have cook because 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.440 they know exactly what they're doing. But picking it up 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:36.560 at the Haitian restaurant is also really good. But anyway, 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.680 I'll make it with seasonings that I buy here. And 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.240 my daughter is still She's like, this is just not 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.800 the same. The spices they have to come from Haiti. 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.760 I do wonder because we, I mean, we americanize everything, 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.880 So I do wonder if we americanize those spices a 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.520 little bit so they don't taste quite the same. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:52.960 I don't. 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:53.840 I don't know. 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.279 I think it's just in her I think it could 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.479 be in her mind, but I respect the fact that 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.720 also sometimes it's just that Haitian touch yeah, and maybe you. 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:03.440 Add a little bit of this and a little bit 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:03.840 of that. 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.960 And you don't necessarily tell anybody. Yeah, so then it's like, oh, okay, 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.640 this is why it tastes so good. But yeah, I 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.680 try to do it year round. But there's no specific traditions. 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.240 Okay, that's fun. I love you're gonna shout out the 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.479 Haitian restaurant just in cases, I'll try and. 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.440 Look it up on my phone because I don't, I will, okay, 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.640 keep talking and then I'll pull it up. But it's 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.680 from one of those ghost kitchens. Oh right around the corner. Nice, 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.640 so it's not too far from here. And you go 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.760 and you enter stuff in on a screen and there's 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.400 all different types of. 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.880 Food ordered from ghost kitchens on like uber Eats. I 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:40.919 didn't realize there was also like ghost minus. 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.279 Oh no, you can show up a lot of people 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.799 picking up or working for Uber eats or door Dash, 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:47.960 but if you just want to go there, you can 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:49.320 enter it in on the screen and there's a bunch 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.800 of lockers and you get a locker code and it's like, 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.440 you know, you get locker five and it gives you 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:56.760 a thing. You put your phone up to it and 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.480 the locker opens and whila, there's all this Haitian food 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.320 sitting there. You don't ever see a human that's wild. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.120 But if you want Italian, if you want like there, 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:11.120 if you want name it Chinese, Jeff, like, there's so 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:16.160 many options there, or even like a burger, I'll tell 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.080 you where it is, OK, but let me look up 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:19.640 the restaurant we're going to go. 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.880 To, Stephanie. She wants to know how you really feel 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.240 about Lunchbox's Christmas gift that he gave you for our 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:27.280 annual Christmas. 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:28.480 The eye candy. 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:28.920 Yeah. 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:34.960 Uh, it's on brand, like it tracks. It's funny, it's Lunchbox, 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.800 so I get it. And his wife was literally with 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:38.160 him when he picked it out, And. 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.560 That does make it not so creepy yet, you know, 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.640 because she probably picked it out and just handed it 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:43.000 to him. 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.560 You know, I can laugh at things like it's not 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.520 I think some people might really not like that at all, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.520 but I I'm not married anymore. I know that Ben 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.200 did not like that kind of stuff when we were married. 0:07:56.760 --> 0:08:03.160 I think Lunchbox did that probably fifteen sixteen years ago 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.040 or so. He gave me like candy underwear, and I 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.880 think it was my first like it was my anniversary 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.400 or maybe my first Christmas after being married a year, 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.000 and Lunchbox like gifted me all kinds of edible things 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:18.440 and he's like, you know, you got to keep this 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.200 bark alive. It's I don't know, he's funny like that. 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.120 Ben did not think it was funny though, because I 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.400 was still very new to the show and very new 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.600 to understanding Lunchbox, and same with Ben. And he was 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.240 out of the country a lot, so he didn't really 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.040 listen to the show and he didn't understand. And we 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:39.960 were in our twenties, so think of Lunchbox now multiply 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.199 that by twenty oh. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:47.480 I can't imagine he was completely unhinged totally. And because 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.240 he was, he also wasn't married Ben. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:53.400 Right, he was staying out all night. You can only imagine. 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.440 We were on a pop station, so things were. 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.720 A little less family friendly. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:08:59.680 Yes, exactly. 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:05.400 Okay. Favorite Christmas memory from your childhood Ashley in Arizona. 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.840 Okay, I'll answer that, and real quick. It's Chez Lama 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:14.160 Haitian cuisine.

Okay? 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.040 Yeah, people love National recommendations, and I'm sure there's people 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:21.800 that want Haitian recommendations, so. 0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.839 Well, yeah maybe or any other yeah type of food 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.679 because they have it all. Okay, so uh was the 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:30.240 question again? 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.600 Favorite Christmas memory from childhood. 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.800 If anybody ever questions if I have ADHD it's hilarious. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:42.240 Probably the year I got a microphone from my grandma. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.640 We were in Birmingham, Alabama. All my cousins were over. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.880 Everyone got something musical, like do you know somebody got drums? 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.680 Somebody got this. So my sister and my three cousins 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.800 we formed a band and my microphone was yellow and 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:02.360 had a stand and we performed Cocomo by the Beach Boys. 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.280 Could you still sing Cocomo right? 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:08.000 Like a Ruba Jamaica? Ooh, I wanna take it to 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:13.800 Bermuda Bahama Come, I'm Freddy, Mama, key Largo, montego baby 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.040 Ladle we go down to cocame Okay. 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.240 And I didn't know, No, I didn't know the song. 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:23.839 So the faster them, We'll take it slow, that's where 0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:25.400 we wanna go. 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.200 Did you guys all tell your grandma collectively that you 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.559 wanted to form a band or what was this music instrument? 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.920 Situation. Maybe it was her idea. She was like, Oh, 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.240 maybe I'll just get them all something and then they 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.079 can play. That'll give them something to do. 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.760 Yeah, and probably get your guys to bond to. That 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.719 was probably something. Oh that's super sweet. How old were 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:49.160 you roughly roughly seven maybe and you still remember that? 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:50.680 Oh yeah, core memory? 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:54.200 Then I feel like it's the core memories you remember. Yeah. 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.280 I don't remember much from my childhood, which that's a 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.719 whole nother thing, but yes, I remember. 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.800 That, Okay, core memory. Shout out Grandma. Kaylie would like 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.839 to know what kind of cat is Maggie Ballanese. How 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:06.600 is Maggie doing. 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.280 She's doing great, except for she did throw up yesterday. 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.040 I don't know why, but she seemed okay. It was 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.240 just one time, and then. 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.120 Cats always throw up its hair balls. She was fine. 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:17.160 So Cara threw up the other day too, But I 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:18.520 know why. She ate a bunch of coffee. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.400 So she ate a bunch of coffee like coffee. 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:23.959 Yes, someone had given me a gift here at work, 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.040 and it was a bag of coffee and I had 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.720 it on the counter because i'd unpacked the box. And 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.080 I left the room for a little bit, and then 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:33.559 I find the coffee. She didn't need the whole bag 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.120 or anything. I think she figured out pretty quickly this 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:36.720 is not good. 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:39.040 Didn't that taste it? 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:43.200 At least it came out, Yeah, came out. But Maggie's good. 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.080 A Balinese is a long haired Siamese. 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.240 She's cross eyed. How much is Maggie way? 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:53.959 Oh, I don't know, probably more than she should. 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.400 Let's just say that. The reason I asked this is Hazel, 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.280 my cat is so small, and I try everything. She 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.600 eats three times eight, like all day she has food, 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.720 and she's seven pounds. 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.960 But I think her fur is less. 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.920 Yeah, she's not long haired. She's short haired. 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.880 So even Kara, for example, she's a labberdoodle, and so 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:17.800 when she is shaved down, she looks like a skinny 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.320 little rat dog. But when her coat is grown out, 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.040 even just an inch or inch and a half, she 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:28.480 looks like the fluffiest, biggest dog you've ever seen. So 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:33.120 I think for Maggie, since she's long haired, she looks 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.080 fluffier and bigger than she is. 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.280 Have you ever given Maggie bath? 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:41.400 Yes, yes I have. I don't know that she likes it, 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.600 but yes I have, especially when we were first learning 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.320 how to use the little robot, she did not like 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.040 that thing. And I see people rave about the little robots, 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:53.600 so I was very excited to get it, and it 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.160 did not work for our family. I had to sell 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.360 it because she can figure it out. So now I 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.559 just use a regular litter box and we are happy 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.160 as a clam. But that thing, she was ending up 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:06.120 with stuff all over her, and so I would want 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:06.600 to bathe her. 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:08.280 Yeah, people you want to. 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.880 Cause a little controversy on Instagram or whatever social media 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:17.079 platform you choose, people do not understand or like if 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:18.719 you bathe the cat. I mean some people get it 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:21.040 and they're fine, but that will get some attention. And 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.640 people are just like what cats clean themselves? And I'm like, 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:26.920 yes to a certain extent, but cats. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.480 Also are They're still animals and they'll still get dirty, 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:32.360 and they still have moments. Hazel's been baits, I haven't. 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.680 I had them tod that one time and it was 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.280 like a scene from a movie. I was in my 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.120 shower and she was up on the walls and I 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:42.160 was like, this is not going well. The Bobby had 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:45.560 gifted me like a two or three Christmas exchanges ago, 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:50.200 like this mobile pet spa and randomly like they'll always 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.240 come like once a month to bathe Remmy because Remy 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:55.040 needs a good little blowout. But every so often, like, 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.240 can you guys bathe Hazel? And they will, and Hazel, 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.680 I guess, just sits calmly in the bathroom them and 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:01.800 they just like and she They're like, she's literally the 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.400 most well behaved cat ever, Like that was not my experience. 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:05.160 This is rude. 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.120 Yeah, well, they do make little sacks you can put 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:09.440 them in that help them feel like safe and contain 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.120 while you're making like a mesh sack. And then also 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.720 I have used a groomer before, only twice in the 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.280 entire time that we've had her, which has been several 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:22.520 years now, but her hair got really madded in the back. 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:24.480 With long hair, you do have to brush a lot, 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.400 and with the oil build up it if you don't 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.640 brush often, which we're not always the best at, it'll 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.800 build up into these little knots. And there's nothing I 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:35.880 could do. And I felt bad because I'm pretty sure 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.400 that's painful on her. Yeah, I've used a groomer and 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:41.920 I mean there's nothing like it. She looks beautiful when 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:43.440 they get done with her, and I'm like, well, but 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.200 I am not paying to have my cat bait. Sorry, yeah, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.160 like a lot. I will every once in a while. 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.240 I would say every once in a while. That Hazel's 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.600 like once a year maybe if she really needs it 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:55.160 or something. It's more just like on a random occasion. Remy, 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.400 on the other hand, needs one more Quite often. 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.120 I feel like, Remy so small, you just throw in 0:14:59.120 --> 0:14:59.880 the sink. Oh. 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.480 I bathe her a lot, too, but it's like she 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.240 needs a good blowout because she won't let me blow 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:06.880 dry her hair and her fur needs to be pulled 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.480 off of her body, especially when I'm about to like 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.520 shave her down, and so I always have them blow 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.800 her out and then I do the her actual grooming. 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.720 Oh wow, Okay, it's a whole process skill set there. 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:18.600 I didn't know you had. 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.720 It's not it's not a professional. Like anybody who would 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:22.920 ever ask me to be like, can you groom my? 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.840 I'm like, no, I'm not. I just I can be 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.200 content with what Remy looks like when I do it, 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.040 you know what I mean, Versus if somebody else, I'm like, 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.520 I'm not a professional. I definitely don't have the skill 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.240 set to like make her look like she would from 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:38.880 a groomer. Right, It's just for her to survive, you know, 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.280 and it looks good. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break. 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:48.360 We'll be right back. Everybody's always asking for Nashville recommendation, 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.160 so I can share these of mine first and it 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.800 can make you think. But we had a woman want 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.000 to know best places in Nashville for a business lunch 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.920 and dinner. So maybe think of some places you've been 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:04.240 for the two that I would come up with for lunch. Postina, 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.320 which is a new spot in twelve South. They have 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.680 these amazing different boards from Cheeseboard, Duhummas Board, and they 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.360 do a fun little happy hour with those boards and 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.760 wine and stuff, and it's a cool vibe. I feel 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.040 like it's such a cool spot for a work lunch 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.840 while also being a little bit fun. And then dinner. 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:25.320 I'd say sixty Vines because sixty Vines is elegant, but 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.560 it's upscale American and it's also friendly. 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:29.280 Do you feel like for a business meeting though it's 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.080 a little crowded and loud. I don't know what type 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:33.960 of business meeting we're having here, so I'm just trying 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:34.800 to say, like, I'm. 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.920 Having a business meeting and a thing. You need a vibe. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:38.440 I get it. Oh, I'm with you. 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:39.240 It is a vibe. 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.120 I love going there, but I'm thinking, like it's just 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.480 so crap because there's so much happening and it's right 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.040 off Broadway. It's definitely fun. I'm just trying to think and. 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.280 Maybe I have different ideas for business dinners. So that's 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:51.400 why I want us both to share. 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.440 Oh I know, well, maybe by the time it's dinner time, 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:55.520 they're just really trying to hang out and get along. 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.440 But I feel like every time I'm there, so I'm like, 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.240 what'd you say? What? See? 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.240 That's also good for too. That's why she's Blanco, because 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.000 Blanco for me is even loud. So it's funny that 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:06.560 you say sixty vines because they're like, oh, that one's 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:07.200 formally okay. 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:12.239 Yeah, maybe you need to figure out if Audrey is 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.880 open for lunch. Have you been there yet in East Nashville. 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:17.560 No, but I have heard good things about it. 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.879 It's an amazing My goodness, it's amazing. I don't know 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.560 that I would say it's a lunch place. And then 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:28.120 it also depends on what you're trying to spend because 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:32.280 more taking people out. Yes, it's a little nice. It's 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.600 more of like a date night spot, so scratch that. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.800 But Henrietta Red is also so good and cozy. But 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:41.680 I don't know that I have good like take a 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:45.200 bunch of people. How do you know? I was just 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:47.080 thinking Barcelona is so good, But I don't know that 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:48.879 that's a good Barcelona being. 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:50.760 A spot that could be good for lunch because that 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:52.720 does get wild and a little bit louder at night, 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:57.280 but they have good lunch. Okay, so maybe lunch spot Barcelona. 0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:59.560 Sorry, I don't know that I made that helpful. We 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:00.680 eat out of Chipotle. 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:03.840 Chipotle is also a good spot for lunch. 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.399 Yeah, but you couldn't get that anywhere, so she went 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:11.040 to Nashville spots. So maybe as we continue talking, I 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:12.320 might think of something else. 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.679
