74
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: with the fact that we may do things not in

75
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,360

Speaker 1: this holiday season, what is one moment that you're like

81
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,600

Speaker 2: were fire. They were so good.

85
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,920

86
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,840

87
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,680

Speaker 2: about our holiday season.

92
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: Let's do it. I think I think we would be

93
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: doing the listeners a disgust, not disservice, dis service. I

94
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: always say disjustice.

95
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: Is not a word.

96
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: It's a word that I've made up that I must

97
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 1: never use again in twenty twenty four, we're starting off.

98
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: Bed No more Disjustice.

99
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: No More Disjustice. So my present from my wife, which

100
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: is you yep, was the the Kevin McAllister Home Alone

101
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,080

103
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: It's one of the best Christmas movies there is. And

104
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: Serena got us a room at the Plaza and a

105
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: stretch limo, which that's when I was like really shocked

106
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: by the entire experience because I like I remember just

107
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: being like, you really got a little and a large pizza,

108
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: which got some slack because it was a Pepperoni pizza.

109
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: Now, people, it's supposed to be cheese. That's the whole

110
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: point of the movie. I know it's supposed to be cheese.

111
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: But Joe the night before we did this, we were

112
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 2: watching Home Alone one and he was like, I would

113
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: get Pepperoni. I was just like, Pepperoni so much better.

114
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: So I was like, Okay, that's I'm going to get

115
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: him Pepperoni.

116
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: You know it was it was Joe's pizza. We took

Speaker 1: the limo, we went, we went, We had the pizza,

118
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: but we barely ate it, and then.

119
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: We well, I had to schedule the delivery, so it

120
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 2: had been sitting for a little while down in the lobby.

121
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: And I also was just like, I know, we're not

122
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: going to want to eat this pizza and alemo as

123
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: our dinner. We went for a nice dinner. I actually

124
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: also really tried hard to get a white stretch Lemo.

125
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: I checked like four or five different places.

126
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think they're in existence.

127
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: And I actually called the places justice what a dis justice.

128
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: I called the place that I booked the stretch, was like,

129
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: do you guys have white limbos? She was like, we might.

132
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,160

133
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 2: It was so oh buddy if it was a white one.

134
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: And I really wanted to get the pizza in the

135
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: limo before you got down there, but there was just

136
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 2: no way for me to do that in a sneaky

137
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: way without being like meet me downstairs.

159
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: nerve wracking. And I put so much thought work into it,

160
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: like I'd been like putting it all together for like

161
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: over a month. So I was like, man, if this

162
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: doesn't land, it's gonna really suck.

163
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, next, next, next year, I'm going to have to

164
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: get you an experience of some sort.

165
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: You don't have to. You always give me a great gift.

166
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: Joe got me a pair of black loafers that I

167
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: really wanted. Yeah, they were gorgeous and great. It's honest,

168
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: exactly what I wanted him to get me. So I

169
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: was very happy.

170
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that also that kind of that like there's

171
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: no surprise to that, you know, like I feel like

172
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: you knew I was going to get you those.

173
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't know for sure, Yeah, but it's

174
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: like it was a really nice gift and it's something

175
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: that I probably wouldn't have gotten for myself. Sure, So

176
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 2: that's that's what. And I've worn them a bunch.

177
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. So then we went Toronto because it was your

178
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: turn this year. We went by your family in Toronto.

179
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. The way Joe and I split up Christmases because

180
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: obviously we live in New York, but he's from Chicago.

181
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: My faim is in Toronto. Is we alternate. So the

182
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: first year together, we did my family, last year we

183
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: did his family, and then we get it. Oh okay,

184
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: never mind, I'll just shut up.

185
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: In you love talking about the alternating.

186
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: I'm just explaining it to people. I feel like it's

187
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: a very common thing of like how people in relationships

188
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: divide up Christmases, like people that live in the same place.

189
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, who's like we go to Christmas Eve

190
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: for my dad and then we go to you know,

191
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving for his mom and the whole thing.

192
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: First thing we did, but we got to Toronto, we

193
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: went to eat.

194
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 2: All Joe's done talking about that.

195
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: First thing we did was we went to Italy and

196
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: it's very Italy's very Christmasy.

197
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: It actually, yeah, it was really it was more Christmasy

198
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: than I expected.

199
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: And I got a Tara massou lat you did.

200
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: We went to lunch with my friends, my best friends

201
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: and her boyfriend and my sister was there and it

202
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: was actually, yeah, it was. We drove right downtown and

203
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: it was super Christmas dy. We're in Yorkville for whoever, And.

204
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: I would say, are the standout of Toronto was probably

205
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve night and your mom's prime rib.

206
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't really have any Christmas Eve traditions because

207
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: we used to go to my grandparents and now we're

208
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: doing Christmas Eve brunch slash lunch in my grandparents. So

209
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: my mom was like, what do you want for dinner?

210
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: And Joe and I were both like, oh, like prime

211
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: rib dips would be great if you want to know.

212
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: She offered between two things that we chose the prime. Yes, yes,

213
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: we weren't just like make sandwich.

214
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: No, no, that wasn't an idea of our own. She

215
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: was like, I could I want to just do something

216
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: in the crockpot so I can let it sit all day.

217
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 2: Do you want like prime rib sandwiches? Or do you

218
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: want this chicken stew that she makes us really delicious?

219
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 2: And weally got prime sandwich is sound great? But it

220
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: was so good, truly, it was delicious. I ate like

221
00:09:58,600 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: three of them.

222
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: They were really really good.

223
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 2: We went to so many restaurants. We went to really

224
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 2: good restaurants when we were in Toronto, and honestly, it

225
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: was my favorite thing that I ate was my mom's

226
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: crackpot primer sandwich.

227
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: And we can't take the recipe because now that is

228
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: a tradition.

229
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: Well, she we've made them before. Do you know that

230
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: we've made that recipe?

231
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we made it with beef chap. Yeah, we

232
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: didn't use the same.

233
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: And honestly, it just wasn't as good as how my

234
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: mom made I think we like rushed it. She let

235
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: her sit for like eight hours, I feel like.

236
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: And then another standout was what we got your dad

237
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: the dry sauna for two days. Yeah. So there's a

238
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: company in Toronto that delivers dry saunas to a big

239
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: dry sauna to your home and you could rent it

240
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: for two days. So that's what we did. We rented

241
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: it for two days. It was in the dry for a.

242
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: Bunch of days. It's just like a per day, per day.

243
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: Rate and it's wood fire sauna. It was.

244
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: It was awesome, It was hilarious. I don't know. My

245
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: mom had mentioned like, I think that your dad might

246
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: like this. He was kind of looking at one. My

247
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: dad's a big, like experienced guy. He likes me busy,

248
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: he likes activities. So we were like, I feel like

249
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: this would be fun for the holidays. They literally drive

250
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 2: it up, they park it. It's like the length of

251
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: an suv, maybe like a foot taller than suv, so

252
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 2: it's not that big. We got one that fits like

253
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: sixty to eight people.

254
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: Eight people would have been tight, but you could fit.

255
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: You could fit eight people in there, for.

256
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: Sure, you could. But I feel like you like six

257
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 2: would have been yeah, yeah, yeah, And they parked it

258
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 2: in our driveway and they give you a bunch of

259
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: wood and you basically put wood in the back of

260
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: it and make a fire and heats up. It got

261
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: really hot. At one time I was really struggling in it.

262
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: I got that thing up to two hundred degrees.

263
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: That's wild. I feel like that's a little dangerous.

264
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think next time though, we do that and

265
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: a cold plunge.

266
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, joe the min I told him that's what we

267
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 2: were getting. My dad was looking for renta both cold plunges.

268
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: But that was great. That was a great gift. I

269
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: love that thing.

270
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was a gift for the whole to

271
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 2: be honest, which I feel like my dad likes those things.

272
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 1: If we move out, if we ever move out of

273
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: a New York apartment, I definitely want to get a

274
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: sauna in a house in our house.

275
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, if we can ever make that happen.

276
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 2: There's actually there's this influencer that I follow in Australia.

277
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 2: She has a sauna in her backyard.

278
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: My friend Joey is building one in his backyard. It's

279
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: not that it's not is extravagant.

280
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've told me how much it was. And like

281
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 2: in my mind, like an at home sauna is like

282
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: the height of luxury. And I know this is actually

283
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: kind of no do this.

284
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: It's affordable and he's using a really reputable company company.

285
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: So well, if we ever have a backyard big enough,

286
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: you'll have your suna in your cult blood Do you

287
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: ever have a backyard, If we ever have a backyard, Yeah,

288
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 2: we're really dedicated to apartment living.

289
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually yeah, apartment living is actually great though.

290
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: It is great if you guys follow us in his stream,

291
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: we saw our like bedroom ceiling was looking real bad.

292
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 2: That's the only downside. But then the upside is we

293
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 2: fix they fix it because you're in an apartment.

294
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: Because if I have to fix it, we have a

295
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: big problem.

296
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: You can't fix it. That's the problem.

297
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: I know.

298
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, and then oh we also so my aunt

00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: gets all my cousins like an activity every single year,

300
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: and we all went paintballing and I literally got whacked

301
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: in the thigh. I still I still am bruised, Like

302
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: I still have a bruise from the paintball.

303
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: You have a major well yeah, I think it.

304
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: Chill it's huge.

305
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: I think it shot once.

306
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: Well, it's crazy it hit like three times.

307
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it shot once.

308
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: No, that's so lucky. That was a stand up moment

309
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: just from the anxiety and the pain, but it ended

310
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: up being kind of fun. Once you like get comfortable,

311
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: it's more fun.

312
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: And then we got back to New York and day

313
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: before New Year's Yeah, New Year's Eve, we pretty much chilled.

377
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: perman actually right now. Honestly, it's just like getting away

378
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: for a few days to get a little sun and

379
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: a little warmth just makes you realize how hard the

380
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: winter's hit. When you're on the East Coast, You're just like, Wow,

381
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: I'm a whole different person. I know a few degrees warmer,

382
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: and it's it.

383
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: What's so crazy is like I think I said this

384
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: to you the other day. It's like we almost I

385
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: forget what it feels like to walk out of the

386
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: house with a T shirt in.

387
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, because every time I step outside of our building,

388
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: I'm like bracing myself to get whacked by the wind.

389
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that we have the where we live.

390
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: The windows Palm Springs also would have been a nice

391
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: warm getaway too. It's a good spot.

392
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe maybe we got to try to to I

393
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 1: don't know, I'll figure out in the winter to be

394
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: somewhere warm for.

395
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 2: You know, we say this every winter. I know we

396
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: say this every year. Do you have any New Year's

397
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 2: resolutions this year?

398
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: Not really. I feel like I'm pretty regiment on my

399
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: gym and exercising. Uh Less, paper towels.

400
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: We use a lot of use a lot of paper towels. Yeah.

401
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: I think the thing with paper towels is like it's

402
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: so easy. You rub a paper towel, you wipe down

403
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: the counter, you throw it away. If I use a towel,

404
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: I have to immediately throw it in the wash, and

405
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm going through then like a bunch of towels because

406
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: we wipe down our counters like every single time we

407
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: eat or clean or cook. So it's like then I'm

408
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: going through five paper towels a day or five like

409
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 2: towels a day, and then I'm running the wash a bunch.

410
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 2: I don't know. We got to find a better solution

411
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: if anyone out there has a better solution for having

412
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 2: an efficient cleaning system not using paper towels, because we

413
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: are using so and it's not like it's like it

414
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: is wasteful, like we're using them for a purpose, but

415
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: it's like, well, I'm al trying so many rolls of

416
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: paper towels.

417
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: And I'll this is gonna be twelve minutes of this

418
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: podcast is going to be about paper towels. But I

419
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: will clean with the paper towels and then I will

420
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: wash my hands and then take more paper towels and

421
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: dry my hands.

422
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: Oh really, you dry your hands with paper towels, Joe,

423
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: we have we don't like, Yes, we have towels sitting

424
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 2: on the by the stove.

425
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: I never use those.

426
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: Why not? I don't know, Well that should be that's

427
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: step one right there, and using less paper towels, using

428
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: the hand towels to dry your hands.

429
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: Do you have a some sort of a goal you

430
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: would like to accomplish in twenty twenty four?

431
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: A goal? Yeah, that's so hard. I feel like I

432
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: have like personal here's my thing. I'm not really a

433
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: New Year's goal person. Like I feel like I don't

434
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: wake up in twenty twenty four or whatever new year

435
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: it is and say like, these are my big specific

436
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 2: goals for the year. I find them like very intimidating.

437
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: I agree. I'm a mid season honestly, Like.

438
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 2: I'm making goals all year round, so it's like I'm

439
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 2: not starting anything that's brand new of like this is

440
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 2: what I want to accomplish this year. It's like I've

441
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: already been thinking about this year halfway through last year. Yeah,

442
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 2: does that make sense?

443
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, definitely. I'm a mid year type of like

444
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,240

448
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: being depressed over your finances and everything else. I'm like, yeah,

449
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,040

450
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: the holiday pocket of like buying gifts for people and all,

451
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,159

00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: Like calories don't count, glasses of wine don't count, credit

471
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: card dollars don't count. Nothing counts it's just magic all

472
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 2: around and then New Year's ends and you're like, oh, wow,

473
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 2: back to reality.

474
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed the way we did it this year.

475
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: We did the whole like holiday Christmas movie.

476
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was fun.

477
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 1: That was a little too long. I think we were sly.

478
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: We were stuck in the we we were We got

479
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: really drunk on the.

480
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: Holiday spirit because we were watching a month full of

481
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: our Christmas movie schedule.

482
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

483
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 2: I liked that though, I think we could. I think

484
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: it was just hard because in my mind I was like, oh,

485
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: we could throw a movie on like during the day.

486
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: But we had a really really busy like September honestly,

487
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: like it was a really busy year. But I feel

488
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: like the second half of this year was just really

489
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: busy with work and it ended up being like we're

490
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 2: watching a movie every night. That was the only thing

491
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: we're watching, Like we were watching any TV. We were

492
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: We were like half watching most of these movies. It

493
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: was just like overboard on Christmas content. It was all

494
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: I was putting into my body and my mind was

495
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: Christmas content.

496
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, this year, if we could go one place in

497
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: the world for vacation, Yeah, where would you like that?

498
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: One place to be only one, because we've talked about multiple.

499
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: I know that's so hard because yeah, for listeners, Joe

500
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: and I the last two years their third like year

501
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 2: full year together, we've gone on one big trip. So

502
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 2: our first year together we went to Spain. We did

503
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 2: three places in Spain. Last year we had our honeymoon,

504
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 2: we went to Italy, three places in Italy. And this

505
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: year we're kind of trying to decide what we want

506
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: our trip to beau. As much as we travel a lot,

507
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 2: A lot of the time we're traveling to like Toronto, Chicago,

508
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 2: or traveling for work, so we usually do like one

509
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 2: like vacation trip together a year. And I think, as

510
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: much as I've been talking forever about wanting to go

511
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 2: to Hawaii, and I'm still into that idea if it happens,

512
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: I do think I want to do like Japan. Okay,

513
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 2: I think I do. And honestly, after talking to some

514
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: friends of mine who we went for dinner with who

515
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: have like been there, I talked about how amazing it was,

516
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 2: And you've been to Japan and I've never been. I

517
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 2: don't think I've been anywhere.

518
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: To me, it's to this day it's still my favorite

519
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: place I've ever been.

520
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I love sushi.

521
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the best sushi.

522
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: You you really love Japanese culture. I think it would

523
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 2: be really fun. The thing that intimidates me about it

524
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: is the time change and the flight and the language barrier.

525
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: Ye in Tokyo. In Tokyo, they were so helpful really

526
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: when you didn't when you couldn't speak the language, they

527
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: were so amazing. It was actually it was easy in

528
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: the the subway system over there. You know, it's obviously

529
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: all in a different language, but it's still it's still

530
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 1: pretty easy to get around. Yeah, I I really I agree.

531
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: Is that where you would want to go if you

532
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: could do one place?

533
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I say Asia. I would just maybe.

534
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 2: Where were the other place for talking about soul?

535
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: Soul? South Korea? I've never been to Thailand, so like

536
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: that would also be cool. Yeah, I just And then

537
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: then the debate, it's like how long do you want

538
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: to be away for?

539
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: Because it's just so hard to be away for more

540
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 2: than ten days? Yeah, like ten days. We did our

541
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 2: last two trips for ten days. We did Spain and

542
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: Italy for ten days, and I just think that's.

543
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: Well Asia, It is a longer flight and I think

544
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: we would need to do it for at least thirteen

545
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: thirteen days two weeks. I think two weeks is good.

546
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm with you on that.

547
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: Do you want to hear my news resolution intentions?

548
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, okay, I thought you were in a New

549
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: Year's resumece.

550
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: I'm not, but I did. I did set some like

551
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: intentions for the year, like small things that I want

552
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: to try to work on, but not like specific where

553
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: I'm like I'm going to work out six days a

554
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 2: week for the rest of the year, Like I'm only

555
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 2: going to use my phone for ten minutes a day,

556
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 2: like I just have overall things. So one thing is

557
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: I want to I think I totally said I want

558
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 2: to work on not scrolling in bed before we go

559
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 2: to sleep.

560
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: Because look, and when you when you say these things,

561
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: then are you are you inviting me to criticize?

562
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: No, I'm not inviting you to do that. Well, like

563
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 2: you could yeah, like if I'm like sitting in bed

564
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: actually scrolling, you could be like are you going to read?

565
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 2: Like the other night You're like, hey, are you going

566
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 2: to read? Like why don't you read your book? And

567
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, you're right, because sometimes I

568
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 2: get like caught up and it's just habit, you know

569
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 2: what I mean. Yeah, And I enjoy it when I'm

570
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: like reading or if we just like watch a sitcom

571
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 2: or something in bad because I feel like I do

572
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: so much scrolling during the day and so much time

573
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: on social media because of our jobs that at night

574
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 2: time I don't need to be doing it. And then

575
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: I had another one, but I can't remember what it was.

576
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm being honest. I wrote it down somewhere. But oh,

577
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 2: and I feel like I really worked on time management

578
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: this year. When I'm at home in Toronto, I've gotten

579
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 2: like much better with my time management, so I want

580
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: to be better about time management here as well. I

581
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: feel like I'm always kind of rushing out the door here, yeah,

582
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 2: and I can be better about that. So those are

583
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 2: my intentions for the air. Just general things to work on.

584
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: Nice I think I would like for me, uh yeah,

585
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: less paper towel use and probably more time for just

586
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: like breathing exercises a little more like at it meditation

587
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: every day. Yeah, just like even earlier today, I was

588
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: really stressed out and did some breathing techniques and that

589
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that that helps.

590
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 2: You know, what something else I think we could work

591
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 2: on this year. What it's hard because we live in

592
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: like a city, we live in a freaking concrete jungle.

593
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: But creating time to like be in nature.

594
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's the thing, I know.

595
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: But like even just like going to Central Park and

596
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: like chilling there for like an hour in the summer. Yeah,

597
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: I know, it's like still in the city or like

598
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 2: it's just yeah, it's so hard when we're here. But

599
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 2: I do feel better when I spend more time in nature,

600
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: in nature, like not just outdoors, like nature. Like I

601
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 2: took a deep breath in the other day walking outside

602
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 2: in New York and like choked on smoke.

603
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's that's.

604
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: Not giving like fresh air.

605
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: It's truly honestly in the thing. It's it's like I'm

606
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: from Chicago, you're from Toronto, and it's the same.

607
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no nature when we go home either, But I.

608
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: Guess we've never really had it our entire life.

609
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 2: That would be the cool thing if we did a

610
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: Hawaii trip, because I feel like you can go hiking

611
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: and you can be by the water. I'm so much

612
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: happier by the water.

613
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well we can make him hopefully, maybe we

614
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: were lucky enough we could do both.

615
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll see, we'll see what twenty twenty four has

616
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: in store for us. Twenty twenty three was a crazier

617
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: because we got married. It was our wedding, and it

618
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: was just like an exceptionally busy er. It felt like,

619
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 2: I guess, just like bridal shower, bachelor party, bachelor party.

620
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: If I were to read twenty twenty three, if I

621
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: were to rate twenty twenty three on a scale of

622
00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: one to ten, ten being good, ten being the best, yeah, obviously,

623
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: one being the absolute worst. I've been pretty lucky in

624
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: my life. I would never say I had a year

625
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: that was a one. Like there's always been some some

626
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: highlights within my year, but let's just say, like, yeah,

627
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: like a really rough year, like a twenty twenty Yeah

628
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: is let's call it, you know whatever, A four or five. Yeah,

629
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: I would rate. I would rate twenty twenty three being

630
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 1: one of my better years I've lived.

631
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 2: I agree. I think so too.

632
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like it's a high great year. It's in the

633
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: it's in the upper eight slow nines.

634
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree. We had a really exciting positive

635
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: year career wise. I mean, we got to the Mabeling commercial,

636
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 2: which was amazing. We got to work on this podcast,

637
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 2: we worked with some great brands, and then also personally,

638
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: we got married, We traveled a little bit. I feel like,

639
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: I will say, by the end of twenty twenty three,

640
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 2: the last few months I was struggling with some burnout

641
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: for sure. Yeah, so that was a little bit difficult.

642
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 2: But I feel really good after the holiday break, and

643
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: I'm going to try to not burn out in twenty

644
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: twenty four. But it was a lot of positive things. No,

645
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 2: it's hard to feel like it was a great year.

646
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 2: I want to do anything differently.

647
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: The only thing that makes me worried is that it

648
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: was such a great year. I hope that twenty twenty

649
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: four is just as good.

650
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 2: It will be. It'll just be different, you know. Like

651
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: we're not planning a wedding this year, so that's we

652
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 2: can take that off the plate.

653
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: And we won't be in Lake Homo this Year's unfortunate.

654
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 2: No, it could be. If you want to skip out

655
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: on Japan, we just go to Lake Homo instead. We

656
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: just really have a reoccurring trip to Lake Como.

657
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: I would be honestly, I would be down for that, Okay.

658
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: I think I think that kind of wraps up this episode.
