Speaker 1: boyfriend okay With amy talking about? Him that's From julie In.
Speaker 1: Kansas he is okay with.
Speaker 2: It, YEAH i would assume that you've probably had that
Speaker 2: conversation and he guys have talked about things much like
Speaker 2: both you AND i have. Discussed we always ask for
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily an, approval but just to like the
Speaker 2: communication is. There we're not openly going to share something without.
Speaker 1: Are you okay IF i say? This and that's with
Speaker 1: any of our friendships or. RELATIONSHIPS i think we've learned,
Speaker 1: sometimes although sometimes stuff will just organically come up And i'm, like,
Speaker 1: oh this is a good, story AND i have to
Speaker 1: pause be, like OH i HAVEN'T i haven't asked IF
Speaker 1: i can share this, yet So i'll have to. Wait
Speaker 1: or sometimes it just comes out and then you ask for.
Speaker 2: Forgiveness, yes but more often than, not we are asking
Speaker 2: for be, like, hey you good with. This we're not,
Speaker 2: Guys we're not. Stupid we're Not we're not openly just
Speaker 2: talking about other people's lives without having some version of
Speaker 2: a reality outside of this.
Speaker 1: Job, yeah but to just BE i get the curiosity behind,
Speaker 1: it because to be kind of thrown into dating somebody
Speaker 1: that talks about their life on YEAH, prettyo it's, like,
Speaker 1: oh how do they really feel about? It and he
Speaker 1: was pretty okay with it from the get. GO i,
Speaker 1: mean he's not eager to like come on and talk
Speaker 1: like he doesn't want to.
Speaker 2: Be ever be a guest on your.
Speaker 1: PODCAST i don't think, so, okay but but that may.
Speaker 1: CHANGE i just, know, right, Now, no he doesn't have
Speaker 1: any interest in, that Which i'm okay.
Speaker 2: With, yeah and you guys hard, launched, well you hard
Speaker 2: launched a picture of you guys On. INSTAGRAM i, did
Speaker 2: how did that? Feel it felt?
Speaker 1: Good but we had been In. CHARLESTON i posted the
Speaker 1: picture that you're talking about we took In, charleston WHICH
Speaker 1: i think was two weeks BEFORE i posted. It SO
Speaker 1: i didn't really post that much while we were In,
Speaker 1: charleston AND i didn't really post much of our trip.
Speaker 1: Anyway BUT i had that picture AND i just thought
Speaker 1: it was sweet and, cute AND i, thought, WELL i
Speaker 1: Guess i'll make this the cover shot for the month Of.
Speaker 2: April after you posted, it was there any like second
Speaker 2: hand where you're, like, oh MAYBE i shouldn't have or
Speaker 2: were you just, like, yes this feels.
Speaker 1: Good, no it felt. Good my ex husband. Been he
Speaker 1: did say something to me, later BECAUSE i think he
Speaker 1: saw it like a week, like because he doesn't spend
Speaker 1: a lot of time On instagram or, anything but he
Speaker 1: does have an. Account we has a work, one but
Speaker 1: then he has this other account where he posts nothing
Speaker 1: but our daughter's On instagram and he follows her and
Speaker 1: he uses it to keep up with certain. Things and he, said, oh,
Speaker 1: HEY i didn't know we were posting like our. PEOPLE
Speaker 1: i think that what he's referring to is way back,
Speaker 1: whenever maybe we were first getting divorced or, something or
Speaker 1: maybe even we were still, married but someone we knew
Speaker 1: had gotten divorced and they were just in a new
Speaker 1: relationship and putting it all over social. Media and he said, That,
Speaker 1: okay now That i'm thinking this, THROUGH i didn't plan
Speaker 1: on talking about, this BUT i don't need to Ask
Speaker 1: ben's permission BECAUSE i know that he'd be fine with
Speaker 1: me telling the. Story but now THAT i think about,
Speaker 1: it we definitely were still married because it was at
Speaker 1: a couple we knew that got divorced and then the
Speaker 1: husband was like posting all these pictures of him and
Speaker 1: his new, person AND i just was, like it just was.
Speaker 1: Cringey it felt, Weird AND i said to, HIM i was,
Speaker 1: like this could never be. Us and maybe that's a
Speaker 1: little foreshadowing, there BECAUSE i don't know at the time
Speaker 1: THAT i knew we would end up getting. Divorced But i'm,
Speaker 1: like oh my, gosh if we were to ever be
Speaker 1: in this, situation, like we cannot do, that AND i
Speaker 1: guess he held onto that because then he said something to.
Speaker 1: Me he's, LIKE i thought we weren't supposed to be those.
Speaker 1: People we we're like posting all this. Stuff AND i,
Speaker 1: SAID i don't really feel like that was posting all
Speaker 1: that stuff now THAT i know what you're referring. To
Speaker 1: we were. That it was just like very much in our,
Speaker 1: face like, everywhere and it was a shady. SITUATION i,
Speaker 1: SAID i think all the variables are very very. Different
Speaker 1: AND i posted a picture of, us and so he's, like, oh,
Speaker 1: okay good to. Know it was like all, Right not
Speaker 1: that he has social media that he, uses BUT i
Speaker 1: guess if he wanted, to and he were to post
Speaker 1: him and who he's, dating because he had a girlfriend
Speaker 1: for a year but they broke, up but they didn't he,
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't ever post about.
Speaker 2: Her it's so interesting to me just hearing how much
Speaker 2: you're navigating and these new waters of having a, boyfriend you,
Speaker 2: have your ex, husband all these just kind of pieces
Speaker 2: and balancing things that you're. Doing does that do you
Speaker 2: ever think about?
Speaker 1: That, NO i think we're just Doing but, yeah looking
Speaker 1: at it, all sometimes it can feel like a. Lot
Speaker 1: IF i focus on, it but, no it's just, like,
Speaker 1: oh we got to navigate. THIS i, Know ben AND
Speaker 1: i haven't been exchanging like five hundred texts and emails
Speaker 1: trying to figure out our summer schedule because it different
Speaker 1: travel and camps that the kids have and different. Things
Speaker 1: we can't stick with our Typical friday To, friday which
Speaker 1: is what we do are week, on week, off because he's, like,
Speaker 1: OH i want to take the kids to do this this,
Speaker 1: week And i'm, like, well this is when we have
Speaker 1: show vacation AND i would like to take the kids,
Speaker 1: here but that happens to be a week that he's
Speaker 1: supposed to have. Them so there's just a lot of
Speaker 1: coordinating that has to. Happen and that's when it makes
Speaker 1: me thankful That ben AND i are in such a healthy,
Speaker 1: place BECAUSE i would imagine if we weren't that would
Speaker 1: just make stuff like. This it's already grueling just trying
Speaker 1: to like tetras sometimes making it all, work but if
Speaker 1: you add in a layer of disdain and discuss and
Speaker 1: you know how some people really feel about and having
Speaker 1: to work with AN x man would be. Painful SO
Speaker 1: i have a level of gratitude for where we are
Speaker 1: and how we navigate. It, so, yeah it's not as
Speaker 1: much as it could, be you know WHAT i. Mean, Yeah,
Speaker 1: NO I.
Speaker 2: I totally hear, that and it's made me think. Too
Speaker 2: JUST i think it's harder probably for you to see
Speaker 2: in that. Moment But i'm just sitting here in a
Speaker 2: lot of respect for you that you're going through just
Speaker 2: a lot of different changes and phases all at the
Speaker 2: same time and learning constantly while it's all.
Speaker 1: Happening, yeah they, met But ben Met alex for the first.
Speaker 1: Time how did it? Go it was really. Good it happened,
Speaker 1: organically and he stopped by the house After sashira's, birthday
Speaker 1: And alex didn't go to the birthday. Party he was
Speaker 1: invited By, sashira and he's, like, Look ben AND i
Speaker 1: haven't met. YET i don't want that to steal any
Speaker 1: of the, spotlight So i'll just stop by the house.
Speaker 1: After and Then ben AND i sat by each other
Speaker 1: at dinner and we were talking AND i, said you,
Speaker 1: KNOW i rode here with your parents because his parents
Speaker 1: were in town and they wanted to come over and
Speaker 1: hang out with. Me so THEN i just rode with
Speaker 1: them to. DINNER i, said they're going to drop me.
Speaker 1: Off so they're going to be, there SO i bet
Speaker 1: they'll Meet. Alex why don't you stop by and meet him.
Speaker 1: Too let's just rip this band aid off Because i've
Speaker 1: been waiting for it to happen and it hadn't happened,
Speaker 1: yet AND i just, thought maybe now it's a good.
Speaker 1: Time and Then ben said. Okay so it's a little awkward,
Speaker 1: though Because ben always comes through the back. Door he
Speaker 1: won't just walk, in but he always parks in the
Speaker 1: back and comes through the. Porch and this time we're all.
Speaker 1: Inside his parents are, There alex is, there the kids are,
Speaker 1: there And ben, parks goes to the front, door. Knocks
Speaker 1: he can see us all through the, window so you'd
Speaker 1: think you'd just be, like, hey walk, in so. Knocks
Speaker 1: everything just seemed very, formal and then he comes in
Speaker 1: and he sticks his hand out and he goes to
Speaker 1: Meet alex and they both shake and they do first
Speaker 1: and last, name real firm grip and just, clear like you, know.
Speaker 2: Be, like, yeah are you holding your breath in that,
Speaker 2: moment just kind.
Speaker 1: Of like watching it. Happen and my Friend cat was
Speaker 1: there AND i was looking at her AND i was,
Speaker 1: like what is? Happening right. Now why are they both
Speaker 1: acting so? Weird you?
Speaker 2: Know but it is better to be formal than. INFORMAL
Speaker 2: i suppose in that.
Speaker 1: Situation like be like walking through my front door and
Speaker 1: then making a beeline and being Like Amy, brown nice
Speaker 1: to meet, you and then you'd be Like Morgan, hewlesman
Speaker 1: and so, yeah it. Was it was good. THOUGH i feel,
Speaker 1: Relief and that was one of my feelings on my
Speaker 1: podcast this week With Therapy, cat the cat that was
Speaker 1: at my house that. Night she's my friend also, cat
Speaker 1: but she's cry okat The Therapy cat AND i talked
Speaker 1: about on the podcast because we have a feeling of
Speaker 1: the day on Our Feeling things, Podcast and my feeling
Speaker 1: was relief that that finally happened AND i can like
Speaker 1: exhale and it, went it went, well and SO i
Speaker 1: want TO i want to celebrate that and soak it
Speaker 1: up AND i look for more. Interactions ben had told
Speaker 1: me at one point early on in a divorce THAT
Speaker 1: i had this fantasy in my head that made be
Speaker 1: whoever we ended up dating next or being with in the,
Speaker 1: future that we would all take family vacations. Together, Okay
Speaker 1: and he THOUGHT i was In La La, land AND
Speaker 1: i will say in the relationship he was in for that,
Speaker 1: year that was definitely a lot of land statement that
Speaker 1: would not have. Happened that just would Not AND i
Speaker 1: can understand. THAT i can understand if some people feel that,
Speaker 1: way like there's, separation you don't want to have a
Speaker 1: relationship with that, Person, Okay But ben AND i share,
Speaker 1: kids and we've known each other since we were, kids
Speaker 1: AND i think our dynamic is just different than a
Speaker 1: lot of other. Relationships AND i don't, KNOW i, Started
Speaker 1: i'm starting to think, like, oh we could be LIKE
Speaker 1: i don't know that that would really really, happen but
Speaker 1: we're closer to. It it doesn't seem like so crazy right.
Speaker 1: Now If ben were to be in a relationship and
Speaker 1: then we all were decided to like all go hang
Speaker 1: out and take the kids and do something.
Speaker 2: Well AND i don't feel like it's as weird because
Speaker 2: even listening to you talk about, it you already have
Speaker 2: an interesting dynamic in the fact that you're really close
Speaker 2: To benn's. Parents that's an important thing for you because
Speaker 2: of so many different life. Events they've been involved in
Speaker 2: your life since you were very. Young they're around a
Speaker 2: lot his ex or His how do you say widowed his,
Speaker 2: wife oh my.
Speaker 1: Boyfriend. Yes oh so his wife is in, laws he
Speaker 1: has a father in.
Speaker 2: Law, YES i was going to say THAT i would
Speaker 2: imagine it's.
Speaker 1: Involved, Yeah i've met. Him i've met him a couple times.
Speaker 2: Because he would want them close to. Them so you
Speaker 2: have some interesting dynamics happening here that you guys are
Speaker 2: all being very mature and understanding and connecting on. THAT
Speaker 2: i don't think this idea that you have is really
Speaker 2: that far. Fetched, yeah, no because a lot isn't could
Speaker 2: have handle those, dynamics and you guys are handling multiple.
Speaker 1: DYNAMICS i wouldn't say my situation With, Alex i'm handling it,
Speaker 1: perfectly But i'm. Trying AND i had no issues meeting
Speaker 1: her dad and her twin sister and her best. Friends
Speaker 1: i've met them, all and because it's like there's that
Speaker 1: would not be happening if they had got, divorced if
Speaker 1: they had been divorced and she was still, Alive, like,
Speaker 1: Obviously i'm probably not gonna meet her best, friends but
Speaker 1: they're all in a place where they knew before she passed.
Speaker 1: Away she, SAID i Want alex to meet somebody make
Speaker 1: sure that that happens sort of. Things so her best
Speaker 1: friends are giddy over the moon That alex has met
Speaker 1: somebody and he's dating. Somebody they're, like oh, gosh you,
Speaker 1: know and it's gonna be hard for them, because, yeah
Speaker 1: their best friend passed. Away they also. Know part of
Speaker 1: something she shared when she was dying WAS i hope
Speaker 1: he meets, somebody and now they're, like, oh, yay this is,
Speaker 1: happening and so, yeah it. Is it's interesting territory THAT
Speaker 1: i never thought i'd be.
Speaker 2: Navigating but, well you're doing it from a bird's eye,
Speaker 2: view you're doing it. Beautifully. THANKS i know when you're in,
Speaker 2: it it seems a lot. Different there's a lot of things,
Speaker 2: happening but from my, perspective you're handling it really, well
Speaker 2: and you're navigating as best as somebody possibly could given
Speaker 2: a lot of different.
Speaker 1: Factors thank.
Speaker 2: You SO i hope you know That.
Speaker 1: I'm learning how to receive praise or compliments cats seeing
Speaker 1: a Therapy. Cat in the, podcast she gave us tips
Speaker 1: for receiving, compliments and she, said you, know research, shows
Speaker 1: especially for, women it's really hard to just receive a,
Speaker 1: compliment like we feel like we have to be like
Speaker 1: if someone's, like oh nice. Shirt you'd be, like oh, this,
Speaker 1: UGH i felt gross this, morning or oh This i've
Speaker 1: had it, forever like you feel like you have to
Speaker 1: instead of just saying thank, you and so her tip
Speaker 1: number one is you just say thank you and then
Speaker 1: your head go, pause, pause, pause. Pods so right Now
Speaker 1: i'm trying to receive you saying That i'm handling it
Speaker 1: beautifully from what you can, tell And i'm going to
Speaker 1: go thank, you and in my head pods pause, pause
Speaker 1: pose like not say anything. Else, OH i don't have
Speaker 1: to say, anything just thank.
Speaker 2: YOU i need to do. This my boyfriend loves to
Speaker 2: be very kind to, me and he's always giving me
Speaker 2: compliments AND i deflect all of. Them i'm, Like I'M

Speaker 2: Them, yes they've met on, FaceTime and he's met one
Speaker 2: of my sisters on FaceTime and My i've met his
Speaker 2: whole family besides his. Dad dad hasn't been down, yet
Speaker 2: But i've met everybody. Else so it feels, safe it feels,
Speaker 2: good it feels right in a lot of. Ways but
Speaker 2: there's just you, know there's still walls THAT i have
Speaker 2: up that are slowly coming. DOWN i think over the
Speaker 2: course of time that's the only thing that will really
Speaker 2: make those come. Down BUT i have this kind of
Speaker 2: arbitrary timelines in my head of, well maybe in like six,
Speaker 2: months it'll feel Like i'll Feel, okay he's not going,
Speaker 2: Anywhere but it's just me and my past like kind
Speaker 2: of speaking to me and trying to make me feel
Speaker 2: LIKE i have to pay attention to these arbitrary timelines
Speaker 2: that happened in my past relationships or situations where something.
Speaker 2: Happened So i'm really trying to fight those back and
Speaker 2: just allow it to be good and safe and, happy
Speaker 2: because that's what it. Is, yeah you, KNOW i haven't
Speaker 2: had any reason not to feel that. Way it's really
Speaker 2: just more my past situations that like to try and
Speaker 2: creep in WHICH i was prepared. For my therapists THAT
Speaker 2: i had for a really long, time especially after the abusive,
Speaker 2: relationship told me the only way THAT i would ever
Speaker 2: truly heal is like WHEN i felt really safe in
Speaker 2: a relationship to let things down and guards. Down And
Speaker 2: i've had moments of that in, relationships BUT i don't
Speaker 2: know That i've HAD i think it was going to
Speaker 2: take the right whoever was going to be the right
Speaker 2: one for it to truly my healing to truly. FINISH
Speaker 2: i don't know if that makes any, sense Because i've
Speaker 2: had lessons That i've had a lot of growth and a
Speaker 2: lot of learning and past, relationships BUT i think Whoever
Speaker 2: i'm supposed to marry is the one will be the
Speaker 2: one where the remainder of the really hard healing is
Speaker 2: going to happen for, me like, internally.
Speaker 1: Right that makes.
Speaker 2: Sense, so and it feels like that's kind of happening
Speaker 2: in a, way and that scares, Me AND i Think
Speaker 2: i'm pushing back on her a lot of like, No
Speaker 2: i'm not ready for that. Yet, yeah you, know so it's,
Speaker 2: interesting you, know like you, mentioned it's this, internal you're
Speaker 2: just fighting a lot of things and trying to understand what's,
Speaker 2: happening trying to understand yourself and your body and what's
Speaker 2: going on in all these different, moments while also just
Speaker 2: trying to enjoy the, present the good that's happening to.
Speaker 2: You so it's an interesting experience That i'm happening right.
Speaker 2: Now but so, far no, flags lots of.
Speaker 1: Happiness, yeah he sounds like a. Dream he is.

Speaker 1: It everybody just went to. Bed and THEN i go
Speaker 1: to their rooms AND i say good, Night but his
Speaker 1: door was already shut and the dog was in, there
Speaker 1: so didn't want to open it because the dog will run.
Speaker 1: Out she loves coming to my. Room and so just
Speaker 1: through the, DOOR i was, like good, Night. Stephenson and
Speaker 1: then he just yelled so, loud probably making SURE i
Speaker 1: could hear it because his door was, shut and he was,
Speaker 1: like good, night, Mom AND i don't, know it just
Speaker 1: warmed my heart so, much AND i was, LIKE i
Speaker 1: loved hearing that yeah from. Him and you, know we
Speaker 1: went through a season with him for a little bit
Speaker 1: where it was pretty, rough and it just reminded me
Speaker 1: how far we have. Come and it's just a special
Speaker 1: moment for. Me so when you're asking me about the,
Speaker 1: kids That stevenson's story popped in my. Mind and then
Speaker 1: So shiraa is doing great, Too like she's like trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what her summer job is going to,
Speaker 1: be trying to decide if she wants to apply at
Speaker 1: clothing boutiques or.
Speaker 2: Restaurants, okay was she still working at her other?
Speaker 1: Restaurants she quit that one track, Seasons like she hasn't
Speaker 1: been there AND i don't think she wants to go back.
Speaker 1: There if she does do a, restaurant she'll do a
Speaker 1: different one just for try some new things, out just, Diversity,
Speaker 1: yeah a new. Experience but this one restaurant she did
Speaker 1: want to apply, to it's a little bit further. Away
Speaker 1: SO i had to talk to her about how the
Speaker 1: further away you, work that's the more that you're spending
Speaker 1: on gas. Money and so she was, like, OH i
Speaker 1: don't know IF i want to do, That AND i was, like,
Speaker 1: YEAH i, mean if that's really where you want to,
Speaker 1: work then you weigh that out and you sacrifice the.
Speaker 1: Gas it's. Fine but at her, Age i'm, like you could,
Speaker 1: Work you're gonna want to work closer to, home and
Speaker 1: SO i don't. KNOW i was encouraging to try the
Speaker 1: boutique this time, around like if she just did the
Speaker 1: restaurant thing last, time like working in retail and, clothing
Speaker 1: AND i was, like but you may have to you, know,
Speaker 1: start you may not be working the floor helping customers right.
Speaker 1: Away maybe you're working in the back or doing, things
Speaker 1: which she did have a small job steaming clothes a,
Speaker 1: boutique which she reached out to. THEM i don't know
Speaker 1: if she's going to they have anything for her like
Speaker 1: more than. That so she's hoping for more. EXPERIENCE i
Speaker 1: think interacting with.
Speaker 2: People she's still wanting to do. HAIR i know at
Speaker 2: one moment in, time she was wanting to do beauty.
Speaker 1: School oh well Esthetician, okay she wanted to go for face. Stuff,
Speaker 1: yes she's still interested in.
Speaker 2: That could she be a front desk a place like
Speaker 2: that or around, YEAH.
Speaker 1: I think for summer they're. Not those jobs are more
Speaker 1: difficult to get if you're just looking for. Summer but
Speaker 1: she has asked some of my friends that are in that, field, like,
Speaker 1: hey CAN i come shadow? You or are you looking
Speaker 1: for an? INTERN i want to learn? More so she
Speaker 1: could do that. Too but if she's an, INTERN i
Speaker 1: don't think she's going to get, paid or if she's just.
Speaker 1: Shadowing but she's looking to save up some money and
Speaker 1: she's you, know starting to look at colleges and trying
Speaker 1: to figure out applying for scholarships and stuff like.
Speaker 2: That so does she want to go to?
Speaker 1: College?
Speaker 2: NOW i know that was also not.
Speaker 1: Really, important not like she wanted to do more of
Speaker 1: the esthetician school, route which we, supported and now she
Speaker 1: is thinking she wants the college. EXPERIENCE i think because
Speaker 1: some of her friends are doing college visits and she
Speaker 1: went with her best friend to Visit, alabama and when
Speaker 1: she came back from, THAT i think she was, Like,
Speaker 1: OH i THINK i do want to have the college. Experience,
Speaker 1: Yeah and so we'll. See we're trying not to push
Speaker 1: it either. Way we kind of want to see where
Speaker 1: she lands with. It But i'm excited for her if
Speaker 1: she does do, that BECAUSE i think it'd be cool
Speaker 1: for her to have the full blown, experiment not experiment.
Speaker 1: Experience but she was saying the other, DAY i THINK
Speaker 1: i need to get a, dog like A German shepherd
Speaker 1: IF i go to, college AND i was, like, What
Speaker 1: first of, all you're going to be in a small
Speaker 1: space with. Roommates you don't have room for A German.
Speaker 1: Shepherd they're likely not going to be allowed if you're
Speaker 1: living in a dorm or an apartment or something like.
Speaker 1: That and she's, like, What, no it's going to keep me,
Speaker 1: safe LIKE i don't want to get assaulted or LIKE
Speaker 1: i was, like where are? You what stories you're hearing
Speaker 1: on college, campuses WHICH i know that sadly stuff like
Speaker 1: that does, happen but you could also survive it without
Speaker 1: A German. Shepherd AND i just don't think that your
Speaker 1: freshman year of college is when you need to focus
Speaker 1: on having a big dog because you're going to be
Speaker 1: going to school and you may have some sort of
Speaker 1: a job and you're going to need to, study and
Speaker 1: you're going to have a social.
Speaker 2: Life, yeah it sounds like there might be some fear
Speaker 2: associated with, college just based on, stories.
Speaker 1: Especially off you, KNOW i think she sees stuff on
Speaker 1: YouTube and, TikTok like she watches all those. Crimes oh
Speaker 1: there's this one crime. GIRL i don't even know the person's,
Speaker 1: name but she breaks down like crazy cases on. YouTube
Speaker 1: she's just some girl that records them out of her
Speaker 1: bedroom And i've watched some of them with. HER i
Speaker 1: WISH i could remember the person's. Name she's got millions of.
Speaker 1: Viewers but so she is very into, those And i'm,
Speaker 1: like maybe we need to cut back on that BECAUSE
Speaker 1: i think that's why you think you need A German.
Speaker 2: Shepherd, well and she loves, horror, right, yeah loves. IT
Speaker 2: i feel like between the crime and the horror, stuff
Speaker 2: we're definitely IMPACTING i know a little bit of. Power
Speaker 2: how she feels in, safety, right and that's. Fair, YEAH
Speaker 2: i totally get. It but, yeah definitely No German shepherd
Speaker 2: freshman year of.
Speaker 1: COLLEGE i know definitely you don't have time for. That,
Speaker 1: yeah and also or, money, like, Yeah i'm like A
Speaker 1: german shepherd that requires a lot of. Care there's vet,
Speaker 1: bills shedding tons of. Food you're not thinking this.
Speaker 2: THROUGH i really appreciate that we are going from a
Speaker 2: bird to A german. Shepherd.
Speaker 1: YEAH i like the evolution of the. Bird, definitely a
Speaker 1: bird could not protect, her or a cat like she
Speaker 1: loves her, Cat, maggie that would not protect. Her, No
Speaker 1: so she just wants protection And i'm, like get some
Speaker 1: mace OR i bought her one of those. Birdies.
Speaker 2: Yeah the there's also an app chain things so that
Speaker 2: she can have on her phone that she can hold
Speaker 2: onto whenever she goes, places and if she releases her,
Speaker 2: hand it calls nine one. One that's WHAT i used
Speaker 2: a lot in called.
Speaker 1: GOSH i would have. TO i feel LIKE i would
Speaker 1: accidentally release my hand and.
Speaker 2: Be, like oh, shoot, WELL i think when you're that.
Speaker 2: TENSE i would be tents, sometimes walking in dark places
Speaker 2: AND i would just like grip my.
Speaker 1: Phone so that's when you would pull it, Up like
Speaker 1: if you're walking on campus at night by yourself or.
Speaker 2: Something and all of your. TIME i would somebody IF
Speaker 2: i was, walking so somebody was on the, phone but
Speaker 2: if nobody could answer or. Somebody it was kind of
Speaker 2: just my backup. Plan but it was there and it was,
Speaker 2: ready AND i felt safe because IF i released it
Speaker 2: and didn't put, like you can release it FOR i
Speaker 2: think it's three, seconds but if you put it back,
Speaker 2: on then it won't call nine one. One if you
Speaker 2: release it and you never put it back, on it
Speaker 2: will call nine one to your direct. Location, gotcha it's
Speaker 2: on like safe, Light. Homelight i'd have to look it.
Speaker 2: Up but so there's so many things that she could.
Speaker 1: Have, yeah, yes and like here's a key. Chain you
Speaker 1: don't need A german, shepherd you.
Speaker 2: Know BUT i shout out to. Her she's dreaming for
Speaker 2: the stars AND i appreciate that about. Her we're gonna
Speaker 2: take another quick break and we'll be back for maybe
Speaker 2: some stories From, Austin texas for a. Festival how was
Speaker 2: The iHeart festival for, You Austin? Texas what was it
Speaker 2: like going back for? You especially living In nashville for
Speaker 2: so long, NOW.
Speaker 1: I i get asked that question like every TIME i go, back,
Speaker 1: like oh my, Gosh you're going to see family And i'm,
Speaker 1: like it's so. Awkwards i'm, LIKE i don't have family there,
Speaker 1: Anymore like my sister moved To, colorado my mom, died
Speaker 1: my dad, died nobody's. THERE i do have friends that
Speaker 1: are still, there and my cousin is In, wimberley which
Speaker 1: is outside Of, austin so it's not necessarily super easy
Speaker 1: to get. To it's not, like, oh you're In. Austin
Speaker 1: so Obviously i'm going to see my cousin because it's
Speaker 1: a little bit of a hike To. Wimberley BUT i
Speaker 1: do like going. Back it's just not the. Same it's
Speaker 1: very busy and, trafficky and we're we're staying like our
Speaker 1: hotel to the, venue there's a lot of, construction and
Speaker 1: so it just feels, like, yeah like IF i. Could
Speaker 1: we're very busy, Too so IF i had time to
Speaker 1: actually get out and enjoy a few, THINGS i THINK
Speaker 1: i would love. It LIKE i normally do try to
Speaker 1: go like. Hike we used to call it back in
Speaker 1: the Day Town, lake but now It's Ladybird. Lake IF
Speaker 1: i go do, that that's very life giving to. Me
Speaker 1: AND i didn't get to do that this, trip SO
Speaker 1: i was kind of, sad but of COURSE i Love.
Speaker 1: Austin it'll always be home for. Me it just doesn't
Speaker 1: feel the same going. Back and THEN i there's the
Speaker 1: awkward like are you gonna see?
Speaker 2: Family, yeah And you're like, okay we have to do this,
Speaker 2: again And i'm like no want Wam it was. INTERESTING
Speaker 2: i Love, austin BUT i don't have the experience that.
Speaker 2: You BUT i do know what that feeling is like
Speaker 2: WHENEVER i go back To wichita and so much has
Speaker 2: changed and you've just been gone for a long, time
Speaker 2: and life is, different even though my. Family that is
Speaker 2: the different part is my family's all still. There there's
Speaker 2: so much that has changed and all your, favorites a
Speaker 2: lot of things have, gone new things have replaced, them
Speaker 2: or just a lot of change WHEN i don't, know
Speaker 2: tourism is more likely In austin than In, wichita but
Speaker 2: when new businesses come in and it just changes the
Speaker 2: layout and the environment of a place like. That SO
Speaker 2: i know that. Feeling but Also austin to me has
Speaker 2: always always been, strange literally because WHAT i knew About
Speaker 2: austin BEFORE i ever visited it Was austin is. Weird
Speaker 2: their slogan or mode At boston, weird Keep boston. Weird
Speaker 2: and so WHEN i first went, THERE i, said, yeah
Speaker 2: it's a little, strange there's some strangeness to, it but good.
Speaker 2: Weird it's fun. Weird and every TIME i, GO i
Speaker 2: JUST i always experience some, funny quirky, things especially If
Speaker 2: i'm walking Down Sixth street or, something AND i just
Speaker 2: witness weirder things THAN i Think i've witnessed in any.
Speaker 2: City And i've spent a lot of time In, denver
Speaker 2: which is supposed to be like the comparison Of austin
Speaker 2: of the, weirdness AND i Think austin Wins austin.
Speaker 1: PIZZA i think.
Speaker 2: So BUT i always get breakfast. Tacos that's my. THING
Speaker 2: i will always eat breakfast, tacos like from a specific
Speaker 2: place or just, NO i like try and go to
Speaker 2: new places THAT i haven't been and because that's JUST
Speaker 2: i feel Like austin is really good for breakfast tacos,
Speaker 2: Definitely so that's What i'll always. Get it's always on the.
Speaker 2: MENU i try and get it both days or especially
Speaker 2: even in the airport on the way, Back i'll get
Speaker 2: a breakfast. TACO hm just makes me.
Speaker 1: HAPPY yea favorite kind of breakfast.
Speaker 2: COCCO i love anything where they put a potato and,
Speaker 2: egg so it's not really. Hard Because i'm. Vegetarians you
Speaker 2: can't add a whole lot of, things but as. Long
Speaker 2: there's some places that don't make potato and egg breakfast,
Speaker 2: tacos but anytime they. Do there's one place at the,
Speaker 2: airport AND i can't remember what they're, called but their
Speaker 2: potato egg is mashed potato with egg and then they
Speaker 2: add avocado to it and it's so.
Speaker 1: Yummy Oh i'm trying to think of what is there
Speaker 1: at the. AIRPORT i like the migas breakfast taco all
Speaker 1: always from. Anywhere migas is.
Speaker 2: It that's scrambled, eggs a specific kind of?
Speaker 1: Cheese, well they may they may use. IT i don't
Speaker 1: know if every place may have a different type of
Speaker 1: cheese that they, use but it's typically just like a
Speaker 1: like a HOW i make. Migas so there's like maybe
Speaker 1: some rotel type, situation so like a tomato pepper concoction
Speaker 1: and then, eggs, cheese tortilla strips or like you, know
Speaker 1: like a crunch like you get that in. There that's
Speaker 1: that's migas for.
Speaker 2: Me got?
Speaker 1: It and it's wrapped up in a tortilla with some
Speaker 1: avocado and maybe a dipping.
Speaker 2: Sauce, Okay and the dipping sauces are always so. Spicy
Speaker 2: WHENEVER i go To, austin the spicy sauce always gets
Speaker 2: me BECAUSE i think it's not gonna be. Spicy sitting,
Speaker 2: There i'm, like you start sweating Because i'm a. Baby
Speaker 2: i'm a baby when it comes to spices THAT i am.
Speaker 1: Too i'm not good at.
Speaker 2: It i'm trying to expand my, palate BUT i swear
Speaker 2: every time one of my friends who like spicy food
Speaker 2: will try something and they'll be, like it's not, spicy you're,
Speaker 2: Fine and THEN i, Eat i'm, like, guys that was so,
Speaker 2: hot and my mouth is dying AND i have to
Speaker 2: like chug water AND i feel like such a. Child
Speaker 2: but in my, FAIRNESS i have come a long way
Speaker 2: BECAUSE i did used to put sugar in, salsa so.
Speaker 1: Okay AND i feel LIKE i used to think that
Speaker 1: that was weird when you would say, That but THEN
Speaker 1: i feel LIKE i got messages after, that and then
Speaker 1: even started looking at ingredients and sometimes sugar is added
Speaker 1: to the to the. RECIPE i know you were doing
Speaker 1: it to counter so you were adding extra BUT i
Speaker 1: JUST i ever associated sugar at all with. It but
Speaker 1: in some jars if you look at the, back there's added.
Speaker 2: Sugar, well so this this is funny about this. TOO
Speaker 2: i was making the homemade enchilada, sauce which tends to
Speaker 2: be pretty mild and it calls for chili. Powder, WELL
Speaker 2: i was making this enchilata sauce AND i didn't have chili,
Speaker 2: powder SO i added cayenne. Pepper, OH i didn't realize
Speaker 2: how much cayenne PEPPER i, added and it was so.
Speaker 2: Spicy SO i ended up having to add sugar to
Speaker 2: my enchilada sauce and it was kind of a, mess
Speaker 2: but it ended up tasting really. Good BUT i added
Speaker 2: a crap ton of sugar that was supposed to be
Speaker 2: something that was relatively, healthy and it was just. Not
Speaker 2: it tasted very sweet and then the, ending, though was
Speaker 2: still really. Spicy and SO i would finish eating my
Speaker 2: enchiladas AND i would just be. Stewetty oh, yeah it
Speaker 2: was not a Good you're still gonna have to kick.
Speaker 1: There, well you were telling your story. TOO i tried
Speaker 1: to look up taco restaurants at the. Airport so is
Speaker 1: It Taco.
Speaker 2: DELI i think it Was Taco. Deli, Yeah i'm.
Speaker 1: Trying to think because if anybody wanted to know if
Speaker 1: they're traveling through The Austin. Airport WHAT i love about
Speaker 1: the airport there is it's all local. Places so if
Speaker 1: you don't have time to drive out To driftwood to
Speaker 1: Get Salt lake, barbecue you can get salt like barbecue
Speaker 1: at the.
Speaker 2: Airport, yes and there's a food. Truck there's two Places
Speaker 2: i've had breakfast tacos in. There there's a food truck
Speaker 2: that has you literally walk up to it and it's
Speaker 2: a food. Truck and Then Taco, deli Which Taco deli
Speaker 2: is consistently. Good is that A texas chain for?
Speaker 1: TACOS i mean there's multiple locations In, austin BUT i
Speaker 1: don't know if that says. Here Taco deli handcrafted tacos Across,
Speaker 1: texas So i'm not quite sure where it. Started but,
Speaker 1: yeah we would Get Taco deli. Back you, know when

Speaker 1: Too they would drop off breakfast tacos and pigs and
Speaker 1: a blanket AND i was, like, oh this was.

Speaker 1: Sam hunt story where he fell in front of it. Fell,
Speaker 1: WELL i didn't, fall BUT i dropped all my luggage
Speaker 1: in front of, him AND i might as well have.
Speaker 1: Fallen it's. RIDICULOUS i was about to start A Thomas
Speaker 1: rhett interview On hulu and his phone started ringing and
Speaker 1: he was, like, oh what's. This he looked at it
Speaker 1: was his wife, calling AND i, thought and The hulu
Speaker 1: hits are, live and SO i was, like, oh shoot
Speaker 1: to answer a phone call from his wife and then
Speaker 1: we're gonna go and have to. Stall but he was,
Speaker 1: Like i'll call her Rag AND i was, like, oh,
Speaker 1: see stars are just like. Us like he's at work
Speaker 1: doing his, thing but his wife is, like, OH i
Speaker 1: got to call my. HUSBAND i have a. Question or
Speaker 1: maybe he's not on. STAGE i, mean because he was
Speaker 1: also about to take the.
Speaker 2: Stage, Well AND i feel like she wouldn't call for
Speaker 2: no reason either, too because of his work. Environment so
Speaker 2: she mustn't called because something was going, on.
Speaker 1: Yeah or she could have JUST i don't think it
Speaker 1: was anything serious because if he was alarmed by, that
Speaker 1: he would have picked it. UP i don't think he would. Have,
Speaker 1: Yeah so they probably are just used to, talking which
Speaker 1: that's the whole. Thing like some people do not call
Speaker 1: their spouses or their significant others on the. Job that
Speaker 1: was shocking to, Me like therapy. Cats she told me
Speaker 1: she just never called her husband at, work AND i was,
Speaker 1: like WHAT i would Call ben all the. TIME i,
Speaker 1: MEAN i guess when he was in the military it was. Different.
Speaker 1: Uh but and my BOYFRIEND i call. HIM i call.
Speaker 1: Him i'll call him as soon as we get done
Speaker 1: here we, Leave, yeah and Then i'll call him, again just,
Speaker 1: hey what are you's? Doing i'm? Working, okay you know.
Speaker 1: So BUT i put up a thing about it On
Speaker 1: instagram a couple of months, ago AND i was shocked
Speaker 1: at how divided some people. Were they're, like oh my, gosh,
Speaker 1: YEAH i would never call my spouse at work, ever
Speaker 1: and again it depends on what your spouse. Does but
Speaker 1: just the fact that it's a thing of, like, no
Speaker 1: they're at, work why WOULD i call. Them i'm like
Speaker 1: to see what's.
Speaker 2: Up that kind of shocks me BECAUSE i feel like
Speaker 2: most people when they were kids would call their parents
Speaker 2: while they ARE i don't know how many TIMES i
Speaker 2: would pick up the home phone just to bother my
Speaker 2: parents at work for the stupidest. Things.
Speaker 1: YEAH i, mean maybe.
Speaker 2: People are traumatized from that, experience and others are, like,
Speaker 2: NAH i did it all the, time.
Speaker 1: Or to your, point depending how they grew, up maybe
Speaker 1: their parents had jobs where they couldn't call them and
Speaker 1: so they just it doesn't occur to them to just
Speaker 1: call theirs their, Partner, yeah because, YEAH i would call
Speaker 1: to your, POINT i would call my parents all the time,
Speaker 1: too AND i definitely call my, boyfriend probably too. Much
Speaker 1: and then sometimes he's, Like, OKAY i gotta, go And i'm, like,
Speaker 1: WELL i just got done with work because our schedules
Speaker 1: are very, different AND i was, LIKE i have a
Speaker 1: twenty minute drive, Home like what AM i supposed to do?
Speaker 2: Now isn't it funny? Too? HOW i don't know if
Speaker 2: you've ever seen those memes or videos where you call
Speaker 2: somebody when you're on a drive home and they don't
Speaker 2: call you back until you pull in the garage and you're, like,
Speaker 2: NO i don't want to talk to you. NOW i
Speaker 2: only want to talk to you BECAUSE i would drive me.
Speaker 1: Home, yes. Hilarious it's like you're at, home or they'll
Speaker 1: show it's like a girl at home like eating, popcorn WATCHING,
Speaker 1: tv literally doing nothing but her phone rings and she ignores.
Speaker 1: It and she's like when that person calls that you
Speaker 1: called when you were driving because you're still not doing,
Speaker 1: anything like you could totally, answer but it's, like oh, no,
Speaker 1: no you missed your. WINDOW i know when you had
Speaker 1: way more energy or you were in the mood to.
Speaker 1: Talk they may never.

Speaker 1: HAPPENING i really. DON'T i was, LIKE i don't know
Speaker 1: Why i'm. CRYING i cannot explain this right. Now and
Speaker 1: that's one of those things where it's just, Like, god
Speaker 1: this is so. Unprofessional nobody else saw me besides, her
Speaker 1: SO i felt, okay but it just made me want
Speaker 1: to like hug a lot of women that maybe just
Speaker 1: need to let out a cry where literally at their,
Speaker 1: job there's no way they could do, it and you
Speaker 1: have to go hide and find a. Space SO i
Speaker 1: just want to normalize random tears at work when you're you,
Speaker 1: know you're estrogen might be a little off or something,
Speaker 1: LIKE i don't know it. Was that was a, CRAZY
Speaker 1: i heart. Story i've never had that.

Speaker 1: i was. VACCAGING i was, Like, ELIZABETH i don't know what's,
Speaker 1: happening but we need to go over here in the
Speaker 1: dark right, now because like tears are flowing AND i
Speaker 1: JUST i feel off AND i need to feel. On

Speaker 1: It SO i just want to send you a hug
Speaker 1: through the. Podcast and, also if you're a guy listening
Speaker 1: and you have a woman in your life that might
Speaker 1: be going through, it just remember to have some compassion
Speaker 1: and grace because she may act in a way that
Speaker 1: is confusing to her as. Well it doesn't excuse our,
Speaker 1: behavior but sometimes maybe you just get curious about, hey,
Speaker 1: uh let's let's let's. Pause what what could really be going?
Speaker 1: On you, know instead of thinking, that you, know we're
Speaker 1: just sacting all, Crazy you're not.
Speaker 2: Crazy your body's just betraying you a little.
Speaker 1: Bit and we'll even know that it's like betraying because
Speaker 1: it's so it's part of the. Process it's like literally
Speaker 1: what is supposed to be, happening but also.
Speaker 2: Crap because why do we have to have?
Speaker 1: That you know WHAT i, mean that's WHAT i.
Speaker 2: Want that's WHERE i feel. Betrayed is this feels very
