0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:21.160
<v Speaker 4>I have warmed up. I was so cold, but yeah.

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:24.599
<v Speaker 3>Studio well shout outs to start.

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Laurie wanted to say she loves us both, and then

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>we also got another one that said no question, just

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.639
<v Speaker 1>wanted to say loving the new podcast. So that's cool too.

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 4>I love that.

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, some good little shout outs to start.

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we're diving in. I like to say that a lot,

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and I realize I'm trying to take that back, so

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>we are. Don't ask me.

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 3>I find filler words because I get nervous.

0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 4>I've never noticed it.

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I do it on.

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.160
<v Speaker 1>The just on the podcast when I'm recording by myself,

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to not that and say the word like

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and uh, that's hard. Words are hard. They just need

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>to go silent. So if you sure me, just is okay,

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna I don't know though, has a double

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:10.119
<v Speaker 1>date be planned. Love you girls here work. It talked

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>about a little bit on part one.

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 4>It's been talked about, it's been talked about. You know,

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 4>we have been really busy. I will say our schedules,

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 4>and then on the weekends we just I don't know, Yeah.

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>We're chilling.

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 4>I just when I'm done, like here for the weekend,

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 4>I just kind of go off of my own world.

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm the same way.

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 4>And like I said, I'm not good at initiating with

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.520
<v Speaker 4>people because I just kind of get caught up at

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 4>home and I don't really want to get out. I

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 4>don't know if that that sounds bad, but probably just

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 4>come tired and so.

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 3>No, I think understandably.

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>So Abby and I have incredibly busy stuff going on

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:45.839
<v Speaker 1>right now, so it's been a little difficult to even

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 1>have personal lives, I know, outside of work.

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 4>But we have it planned now. We have what we're

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 4>gonna do.

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I always have to choose the date. The date.

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we're gonna go to dueling pianos, Well, buy you

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 4>keys in Laney Wilson's.

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Bar, and we're gonna make sure our songs get played. Yes,

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>just the date, and we do extensively talk about calendar.

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 3>Where is it?

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>We will?

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 3>We will?

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>We need to do that before you leave.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, are you writing? And he love songs? Now that

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 3>you've got a great guy.

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>This is from Leah in Pennsylvania, who loves us both.

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:23.399
<v Speaker 4>Honestly, I haven't really written any Nope, he hasn't inspired any.

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 4>He has inspired him. I guess I'm just waiting for

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 4>this next one to come out that's more sassy, that

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 4>is anti love. So I'm in that head space. I'm

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 4>trying to do one thing at a time because I

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 4>get overwhelmed easily, and I'm trying to work on the

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 4>balance that we were talking about and the other one,

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 4>like balance, because right now it's like I focus on

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 4>Bobby Bone Show and then the podcast stuff and then

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 4>I forget that. It's like, oh, I need to focus

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 4>on me too, and so I kind of put that

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 4>on the back burner, which is not good. I'm still

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 4>playing guitar. I'm practicing that.

0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 1>But writing I think you're doing the guitar like a week.

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.360
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh. So my boyfriend started playing now and

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:04.480
<v Speaker 4>he's almost better than me, and I'm actually annoyed.

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Are you for real? Yes?

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 4>Like he picks it up, so fast, like my brain

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 4>just won't pick it up. And I've said that from

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 4>the very beginning. That's why I haven't like played guitar

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 4>because I get frustrated and he's actually like better and.

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, oh my gosh, he's just your permanent guitar player.

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 4>It's what I was thinking, Like, you don't have to

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:21.079
<v Speaker 4>pay him.

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I give you a case every night exactly, this

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:24.399
<v Speaker 1>is what you get.

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 4>So when when we're together, he's always picks up a guitar,

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 4>He's like, okay, let's play, let's play. And I'm like, okay, fine,

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 4>Like he's good at fingerpicking. I'm like it's so hard

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 4>and he came out of nowhere. Yes, yes, I'm actually

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm really annoying. He's very competitive and so am I,

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 4>and so he wants to be better than me.

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, oh day, so you got this is

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>also going on right now? Yeah, a lot of things

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 1>happening in Atty's brain. Yeah.

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 4>So no writing, no, but that's next. That's my next song.

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 4>I'll do a love song.

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I love song.

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he can write it with you with his guitar skills.

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:56.160
<v Speaker 4>I know.

0:03:57.960 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Laurie from Massachusetts.

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>She was to know. Do you have any more shows

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 1>planned for this year?

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.040
<v Speaker 4>Nope, none planned, They're none planned.

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 3>Just in her basement while boyfriend's playing guitar. Yeah, she's practicing.

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>My gosh, dang it. What is a song title?

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 4>Either?

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 4>No for a material?

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 3>Boy for a material?

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 4>Huh? I sing in the car a lot and the showers.

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Because that's my singer, isn't that?

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm working lay because I'm a singer.

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 4>Yep, that's me.

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>What helped you in your single phase while everyone around

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:42.039
<v Speaker 1>you was in a relationship love y'all and she would

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>like no name or he would like no name. Uh,

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure where it came from.

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 4>So I feel like I've lived my whole life being

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 4>that girl, you know. And like when I go home

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 4>every year to Kansas, everybody was married, All my friends

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.599
<v Speaker 4>are married, and then I'd be the only one there

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 4>with no plus one, you know, And so they're asking

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:03.520
<v Speaker 4>how to deal with that?

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like what how during the single phase when everybody

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 1>else was in love?

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.040
<v Speaker 4>I would say, just like embracing the single and seeing

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 4>all the good parts of it, you know, like you're

0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 4>not tied down to anybody, You can do whatever you want.

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 4>You can like go out of town, you can go

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 4>out with your friends. You don't have to ask anybody,

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 4>you don't have to check with anybody else. So I

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 4>think I did that a lot, and like focused on

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 4>I had a lot of time more to just focus

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 4>on me because I was home alone or whatever, and

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 4>what I want to do and what I want to accomplish.

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 4>And when you're dating someone, you're just kind of like,

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 4>oh wow, you kind of forget some of that. I

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 4>feel like, because you just want to spend time together

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 4>and watch.

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Movies, you know. Yeah.

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 4>I think embrace being single in that season of your life,

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 4>because it will come, but just embrace what you have

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 4>right now.

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>It's really good advice. I the same thing happened to me.

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I was I learned to embrace it and take it in.

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>But I'll also say very genuinely that there were days

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 1>where I was so sad and so alone and I

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.479
<v Speaker 1>was like, this is never gonna happen for me. I'm

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>not gonna find this, and I would almost be a

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit pessimistic when I'm normally a pretty optimistic, hopeful person.

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, there's no way this is just not gonna happen.

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>So I think as you embrace because that's the best

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>thing that you can possibly do for yourself, and take

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>yourself out on dates and go try and learn some

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 1>new things. Because to Happy's point, once you do date someone,

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 1>all that's gonna be gone. The autonomy and getting to

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 1>do everything that you want when you want to do

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.719
<v Speaker 1>it at that time on your own schedule is gone.

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>You do have to start considering somebody else. And so

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I think doing all the things that you want to

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.919
<v Speaker 1>do for yourself is something to focus on and it

0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.920
<v Speaker 1>allows you to kind of come out of that focusing

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>on everybody else, but at the same time embracing that

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be really crappy days. There are going to

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>be days you're gonna be sad in days where it's

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna frustrating, and you just have to let it ride,

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 1>like literally let those emotions ride and face them instead

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 1>of running away from them because it's only going to

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>make your experience and all of that worse.

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:15.280
<v Speaker 4>But also not like drowning them, because I used to

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 4>do that and like kind of throw pity parties for

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 4>myself sometimes and like you know, I'd be like, oh

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 4>my gosh, I would pray and I'd be like why

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 4>why can't I have someone like that? Like why when

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 4>is it going to be my turn to find somebody

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 4>good for me?

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 1>You know?

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 4>And I would just get so mad and like be

0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 4>crying and stuff. And it's like you can do that,

0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.080
<v Speaker 4>but don't do that for like weeks at a time,

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, Like how you can have your moment, have

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 4>your day where you're just like, Okay, this is my

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 4>day to feel this way, but just try not to

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 4>get caught up in it. Try to just like you know,

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 4>go go to the gym or do something that you

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 4>know is good for you, like good for your.

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Soul, like find a counterbalance to that.

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 3>So, say you had that day because.

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna come out of nowhere and you're just gonna

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 1>be in it, or you're gonna get invited to eighty

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 1>weddings and you have to go by yourself. You're gonna

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>have that day, and once you have it, be like, Okay,

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm in this right now. Tomorrow morning, I'm waking up,

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take myself to breakfast, just me myself, and

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go to breakfast. And there's a very empowering

0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>feeling about that when you start taking care of yourself,

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:18.720
<v Speaker 1>so it helps lift those feelings naturally. And also I

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 1>learned speaking of like that the new podcast that I dropped,

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I learned through one of the guests that's coming on,

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you can train your brain to get over things. And

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 1>the only way to do that is by like learning

0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 1>something new and treating your brain like it's a muscle

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that you're trying to exercise. And so if you're really sad,

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and you keep being really sad and you get stuck

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>in it, like Abby, pick yourself up. Say I'm gonna

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>go teach myself to play pickleball today. I mean I

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 1>want to. It's gonna suck to start, but then your

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.679
<v Speaker 1>brain's gonna naturally start to shift and say, Okay, I'm

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:51.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna pick up new things. This is what's gonna happen.

0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:52.319
<v Speaker 1>It's like a.

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 3>Pattern, a pattern of behavior.

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, because yeah, that used to happen to

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 4>me all the time, because when I'd go to concerts,

0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.680
<v Speaker 4>I would always notice the couple's holding hands, always notice

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 4>that that was the one thing. And it's like, why

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 4>am I noticing in this? Probably because I was thinking

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:04.840
<v Speaker 4>about it.

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 4>It's like when you think of a yellow car. You

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 4>start seeing a yellow car like on the road. Yeah,

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 4>because you're thinking about it. And I was like, just

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 4>stop like thinking about that, you know, just realize that

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:15.959
<v Speaker 4>it's not your time now.

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, We're not trying to say down another

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>path in your brain and say, Okay, nope, I'm going

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>to focus on the singer in this moment, like for

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.559
<v Speaker 1>Abby with the concert, I'm gonna focus on the artist,

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>or I'm going to focus.

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 3>On how many red boots there are. Anything.

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 1>It could be the stupidest thing, but if it helps

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.040
<v Speaker 1>you get through it, then it helps you get through it, right,

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>So find your coping skills and lean into them.

0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:41.679
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean that's great. That is weird. I used

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 4>to think that all the time and be like, why

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.960
<v Speaker 4>are they couples here? There's all couples, And I'm like, Abby,

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 4>just stop thinking about it.

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Just oh.

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.559
<v Speaker 3>I would go to weddings and be so depressed.

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Afterwards, I would put on my smile and be a

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>great you know, guests or part of the wedding party,

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 1>but watching people interact because I was the last one

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:06.960
<v Speaker 1>in so many cases, I just was like, Okay, here

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:07.319
<v Speaker 1>we go.

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Smile because there's love in the room.

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>And everybody's so happy, but I am miserable and this

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>sucks for me. Yeah, you know, I like, it's not fun,

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 1>it's it. And there's never gonna be someone who can

0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 1>say this is how you're gonna get through it, because

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>it really just genuinely you gotta feel all the things

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 1>that you're feeling and be sad sometimes and be happy

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.080
<v Speaker 1>sometimes and go through it. But I do think Abby's

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.520
<v Speaker 1>point is great of like really embracing that time in

0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 1>your life because it doesn't come back. No, you know,

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I hope that tomorrow you'll meet the person that you're

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna spend the rest of your life with. But until tomorrow,

0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 1>you better live it up because when that person comes

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, dang, I should have lived up my

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>single life a little bit more, you know. Yeah, there's

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 1>always regrets somewhere. So you're totally right spot on. All right,

0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna take a quick break, will be right back.

0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I think this came from Sadie, But my can eater

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 1>like stick correct people's names. What are some of your

0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.839
<v Speaker 1>favorite places in Nashville like to eat? I didn't even

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>prepare you for this. I know you didn't, or I'll

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:12.480
<v Speaker 1>just like look at my email and I'll think of something. Yeah,

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>do anything, activities, bars, I think the list could go on.

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Broadway, I love going to the stage. That's one

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.839
<v Speaker 4>of my favorites because they play more like nineties country music.

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.800
<v Speaker 4>I love that. Let's see and then I've already mentioned

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.679
<v Speaker 4>this before, but Lanny Wilson's Bar in the Dueling Pianos

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.199
<v Speaker 4>super good, so good. I love the diner for food.

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 4>Downtown has the best like late night food.

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I've eaten there. For the late night foods.

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, you have to go. They have like

0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 4>a full menu and it is delicious. I get the

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 4>pretzel It's like these pretzel sticks, like a big pretzel

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 4>and you dip it in beer cheese.

0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 3>I love a pretzel cheese delicious.

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.320
<v Speaker 4>And then the chicken strips and fries so good. We

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 4>uhould go there after, but no fry butts if you know.

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, I've been doing that, like and he

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 4>hasn't noticed. I didn't tell them either. I still haven't

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 4>told him. Huh. I think I like distract him.

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I need you to like report back, like I need

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.120
<v Speaker 1>you to actually ask him if he's noticed.

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 3>And he just ignores it and he loves you no

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 3>matter what, because that's.

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Probably what it is.

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:16.040
<v Speaker 3>It's because like I'll ask, I'll be like, you didn't

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 3>figure that out? He's like, yeah, no, I did for sure,

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 3>like right away.

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 4>People, if you don't know, like I leave the ends

0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 4>of my fries, I still do it. What the part

0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 4>I bite down on? I pick the end I don't

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.640
<v Speaker 4>want to bite down on, like a crispy end or something.

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let you leave it, which is why I dubbed

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.680
<v Speaker 1>them fry butts, and Abby will always have a plate

0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 1>if she gets fries of fry butts at the end.

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.840
<v Speaker 1>That's funny that he hasn't said anything I know.

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 4>Isn't that crazy?

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:40.440

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:37.760

<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Oh, I'm like simple, I'm like that great guacamole.

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm also like he hated the guacamole. I was like, well,

0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>that's your fault because you ate three pounds. I'm pretty

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.199

<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, Okay, any others you want to add

0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 3>to your list?

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so. That whole area you really can't

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.400
<v Speaker 4>miss with that. I like Frothy Monkey for coffee.

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>It is really a good breakfast too.

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah they do. Oh my gosh. One of my

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 4>favorite places, okay, it's on Charlotte Avenue. It's called Weird

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 4>Stuff Cool Things, and they have all these like awesome

0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.040
<v Speaker 4>like there's a Nashville sign with lights on it. That's

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 4>where I got it, and it's in my house. But

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 4>it's just it's kind of like a fancy thrift store.

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.680

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.400

0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 4>to it is Headquarters Coffee, Best Coffee.

<v Speaker 1>I love it.

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:38.560
<v Speaker 4>It's like a cute. It's literally a hole in the wall.

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 4>I love but it's so great local.

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Have you got into the street car taps right next

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>to that in that same area, because they have a.

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 3>Loaf of bread and butter.

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing. What it's also just really good. They good

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>food and drinks and stuff on Charlotte. I've never heard

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 1>of that right in that same little area.

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's awesome.

0:14:57.880 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 1>The next time you go thrifting and you get your

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>just pop over and gets a food.

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:03.400
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I'm gonna do that.

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that.

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 4>I love that. Thanks.

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Is your neighbor's dog still messing up your yard? No?

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, so awkward.

0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 4>I put that note on his door. It was really nice.

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 4>It's just like, hey, could you please pick up your

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.640
<v Speaker 4>dog's pooh? If this isn't you just ignore this. And

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 4>I was walking down the street and I saw him

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, oh shoot, this is awkward. He's

0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:23.560
<v Speaker 4>with the dog too, and I was like, oh no,

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:24.400
<v Speaker 4>and he's like, are you abby?

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 3>I was like, yeah, hey, yeah, he wrote your name

0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 3>on the note.

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah yeah, Because I just was like, you're not gonna, yeah,

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 4>I put what I lived in. It's gonna be passive aggressive,

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 4>and you're it's not going to get handled right if

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 4>I just put this note, because he's not going to

0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 4>know whose house it was. And then he's two doors down,

0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 4>so like I was like, to avoid any future awkwardness,

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 4>I'll just put my name and I was like.

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, there's future awkwardness.

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 4>I was like, yeah, I'm Abby, and yes I did

0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 4>put the note on your door. And he's like, I'm

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 4>so sorry, Like my roommate had been letting him out.

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.040
<v Speaker 4>He kind of blamed the roommate. I was like, I

0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 4>don't know, but anyway, roommate, do you know there is

0:15:58.400 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 4>I was like, yeah, I don't think you can fully

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 4>blaming the roommate for like one hundred percent of this,

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 4>but anyway, he was like, my roommate's been letting him

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 4>out and he didn't he didn't know he was going

0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 4>in your yard. And I was like, oh, no, totally fine,

0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.400
<v Speaker 4>you're good. And the next day he picked all of

0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.480
<v Speaker 4>it up. He like, I'm like, I seriously think it

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 4>would have been like two grocery bags full of pooh

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:18.880
<v Speaker 4>oh my god. It was a lot. I mean, it

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 4>was every step. If it was like one or two,

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't have cared literally every step.

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>There could be some roommate involvement there, but he also

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 1>probably was just like nobody's gonna.

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 3>Care, you know, but if you have a big drunk.

0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:31.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot like its ritt me.

0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 3>He's like ten tiny like they.

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 4>Pile up, okay, because I have a tiny yard, so

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 4>it's like there's there's not much room and I always

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:39.800
<v Speaker 4>take my trash and I was just walking on it

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:41.720
<v Speaker 4>and I was like, oh my god, this needs is stop.

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, he has it stopped completely.

0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 4>Then yeah, they take him out on a leash. It's

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 4>really awkward. I see him all the time and I'm

0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 4>so awkward. I'm just like, hey, you probably secretly hate me.

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, but you know what, at least you figured it

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 1>out and at least the person was nice, and I

0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 1>would be like, you know, even if he like took me,

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 1>he probably took the awkwardness out of it by blaming

0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:04.240
<v Speaker 1>it on the roommate, right, and at least he's now

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:04.600
<v Speaker 1>doing it.

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.040
<v Speaker 4>No, I have no shit. Yeah, like we handled it great.

0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:08.000
<v Speaker 4>It went awesome.

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I've lost some very nice adults me too. Great interactions.

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:14.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean it works when you're nice, you just ask

0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:16.440
<v Speaker 4>something to it. I think it works.

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's true it was good.

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:18.960
<v Speaker 3>It could have gone worse. You could end up having

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:19.920
<v Speaker 3>like poop on your doorsteps.

0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 4>So exactly. Well, the things that, like Lunchbox is telling

0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:22.960
<v Speaker 4>me to do I don't even know what he was

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:24.400
<v Speaker 4>saying to do, but I'm glad I didn't do whatever

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 4>he wanted me to do.

0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 1>That's true. What is your most rewarding thing about being

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.480
<v Speaker 1>on the radio, Ronnie of Maryland.

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:34.639
<v Speaker 4>I would say I even had someone call me today

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.639
<v Speaker 4>and they're just like me doing the half marathon, like

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.880
<v Speaker 4>my story of saying it like inspired her to do

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.479
<v Speaker 4>like a marathon. I think stuff like that when they

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.760
<v Speaker 4>say you inspired them. I love getting messages like that,

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:49.919
<v Speaker 4>like me starting guitar, Like they're like, oh, you know,

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.480
<v Speaker 4>I just tried something I never thought I would ever

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 4>be able to do. So I think I think that

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:56.119
<v Speaker 4>would be it.

0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the connectivity, yes with people.

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.439
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, like knowing that you can do anything. I guess

0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 4>you think you can't, like I didn't have you did

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 4>any Yeah, like I didn't. I just didn't ever think

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 4>i'd be able to play guitar or you know, record

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 4>a song, like I didn't think I would do that.

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't good enough being in Nashville. Everybody's so good

0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:18.520
<v Speaker 4>that I just I wasn't good enough. But that doesn't matter.

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 4>You don't have to be the best, to do what

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 4>you want to do, and like reach growing because of radio.

0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 4>Look at me, Wow, so proud.

0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:31.600
<v Speaker 1>That was not sarcastic that I was serious. I'm proud

0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:33.840
<v Speaker 1>of you. You are growing. I'm pretty sure you would

0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.040
<v Speaker 1>have came on Best Bits three years ago and we're

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.399
<v Speaker 1>like a lot more timid and not as confident in

0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 1>any of that. Look at you now, Yeah, I would have.

0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:42.840
<v Speaker 4>Been like, I don't know, I'm bad at everything.

0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:46.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm just kidding, but not anymore not bad. If you

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.359
<v Speaker 1>could live anywhere besides Nashville, where would you live? This

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.399
<v Speaker 1>is one of our last questions. Haley in Wisconsin.

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:55.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, I think I would say like Denver

0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:58.440
<v Speaker 4>or somewhere in Colorado. I think it's so pretty there.

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.640
<v Speaker 4>I love Mountain so much. But I also love the beach.

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.360
<v Speaker 4>So this is very hard because I honestly do think

0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:05.200
<v Speaker 4>of this beach.

0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Girl.

0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:08.119
<v Speaker 4>You think I am. Yeah, I know that's the thing,

0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:11.480
<v Speaker 4>but I don't really want to live in California. And

0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.560
<v Speaker 4>I like the West Coast beaches. They're so pretty.

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:15.920
<v Speaker 1>They are so pretty, but so are Florida beaches.

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. I think about this all the time.

0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.240
<v Speaker 4>So this is a great question, because.

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:22.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't think all the time. It does not have

0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:23.720
<v Speaker 1>an answer for you.

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:25.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't I wonder this. I'm like, wait, maybe I

0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:28.120
<v Speaker 4>could split up, like, you know, do Colorado for five

0:19:28.200 --> 0:19:29.840
<v Speaker 4>years retirement.

0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, like where you live one year half of

0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the year, and then you move down to Florida for

0:19:34.000 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the other half.

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.000
<v Speaker 4>That's what I'm gonna do. That's exactly what I'm gonna do.

0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.200

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.320

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Abby's retiring really.

0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:54.959
<v Speaker 1>In the beach. All right, we're wrapping up here. Abby,

0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.640
<v Speaker 1>thank you for coming on, answering our listener questions, hanging

0:19:57.640 --> 0:19:58.479
<v Speaker 1>out with me for a little bit.

0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's been fun. On more of my dms or

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:02.320
<v Speaker 4>I had one of my DM's.

0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, what is it?

0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:04.480
<v Speaker 4>Do you want to answer that?

0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:05.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Give it to me.

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.720
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Oh, let's see.

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.160
<v Speaker 1>If you're okay. I should have had right away right

0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:13.359
<v Speaker 1>now you're not. It's fine. I kind of threw it

0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:13.680
<v Speaker 1>out there.

0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh here we go. Okay. So Lil Lily in North

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 4>Carolina said, I'm thirty two and having a hard time dating.

0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm just so tired and done with people. How do

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:25.520
<v Speaker 4>you suggest getting over dating dating burnout? And also how

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:29.399
<v Speaker 4>involved on dating apps? Like were you before you were

0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:34.360
<v Speaker 4>in your relationship? Hmmm, that's a tough one dating burnout.

0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh I remember that so much. That's why I limited

0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:39.720
<v Speaker 4>mind to an hour per date and just do like

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.440
<v Speaker 4>a coffee date. Don't make it this whole grand thing.

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well, and I think you should allow the burnout

0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 1>to exist, Like if you're done with dating for a while,

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.919
<v Speaker 1>be done with dating for a while. There is no

0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.320
<v Speaker 1>requirement of you to go on a date every single

0:20:56.400 --> 0:20:57.840
<v Speaker 1>nat or every single week, like, do.

0:20:57.880 --> 0:20:59.760
<v Speaker 3>It as your mood flows.

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Because if you go on dates when you are miserable

0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 1>and you're tired of this and you're tired of saying

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:05.520
<v Speaker 1>this is my favorite color, this is where I'm fun

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.680
<v Speaker 1>and you're just bored of it, you're you're not even

0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna give a chance to the person you're on a

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 1>day with. M So, if you're burnt out, take a break,

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 1>like genuinely take a break and just hang out for.

0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:19.199
<v Speaker 3>A few days or a few weeks or whatever it

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 3>is you need.

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 1>And then when you jump back in, I think Abby

0:21:23.440 --> 0:21:26.879
<v Speaker 1>has your best advice is like don't go so hard

0:21:27.119 --> 0:21:29.160
<v Speaker 1>if you are going hard, like keep it short, keep

0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:30.399
<v Speaker 1>it sweet and simple.

0:21:31.160 --> 0:21:32.920
<v Speaker 3>Like people do all.

0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:36.639
<v Speaker 1>These elaborate big first dates, and they never make sense,

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 1>especially in the dating age today, because you're probably not

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna go on a second day with them, probably like

0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:44.760
<v Speaker 1>the chances are less to go on a second date

0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:48.840
<v Speaker 1>at this point. So I think Abby's advice is great

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:52.920
<v Speaker 1>if you're experiencing burnout with the dates and then taking

0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:56.920
<v Speaker 1>your breaks where you need them. For me, for meeting

0:21:56.920 --> 0:22:00.800
<v Speaker 1>a man in uniform, I had just actually gotten off

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the apps for a while because I had had my

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:07.480
<v Speaker 1>burnout face and was tired of them. Got back on,

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:10.439
<v Speaker 1>but actually I had I think I've talked about this

0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:14.359
<v Speaker 1>a little bit where I really revamped my hinge to

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.640
<v Speaker 1>be very intentional. I realized that I was given off

0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>too fun like let's hang out vibes, where I wanted

0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to be giving off I want to date and marry somebody.

0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Actually it's what I want to do, and so I

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:32.160
<v Speaker 1>revamped my whole hinge to be very just more serious, engaged.

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Was still some flirty, like, still my personalities in it,

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:37.439
<v Speaker 1>but it was really intentional of what I was putting

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:40.360
<v Speaker 1>on there versus it being just like, oh a throwaway, Okay,

0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the dating apps, this is how I might

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.840
<v Speaker 1>meet somebody. I was really intentional about it, and then

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:48.560
<v Speaker 1>a few days later we matched. So I credit that

0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:51.679
<v Speaker 1>to that specifically because of just the way that my

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 1>situation changed, I think in a way in my headspace

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:57.800
<v Speaker 1>of where I was at, I think that's what happened

0:22:57.800 --> 0:22:58.120
<v Speaker 1>in mind.

0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:00.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think that is the key. Yeah, like putting

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 4>exactly what you're looking for, because then you're not going

0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:04.919
<v Speaker 4>to have all these the ones that you're tired of.

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 4>They're not going to be coming at you. They're gonna

0:23:07.080 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 4>actually be probably decent or have similar goals or relationship

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:14.280
<v Speaker 4>goals or whatever. If you just have like not looking

0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.919
<v Speaker 4>for a hookup, you know, Like I think I put that.

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:18.439
<v Speaker 4>I was so tired of it. I was just like,

0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:20.960
<v Speaker 4>not looking for hookup. Now, I'm not like, so I

0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:24.080
<v Speaker 4>stop asking me. I was really irritated, and I was

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 4>just like, that's what I did. I made it very clear.

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:27.840
<v Speaker 4>So those guys and SIP left and you're not even

0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:28.680
<v Speaker 4>gonna come across them.

0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:31.359
<v Speaker 1>So and even just putting in your little relationship part

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>where it's like, what are you looking for by saying

0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:35.399
<v Speaker 1>I literally said I was looking for my partner and

0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:37.400
<v Speaker 1>people would still come on our thing and I was looking.

0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 3>For fun, and I was like, where did these signals

0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 3>get crossed?

0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>So not even just doing that is enough, Like you

0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 1>have to be so intentional with your prompts and everything.

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.960
<v Speaker 1>And don't get me wrong, there's a way to be

0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:51.919
<v Speaker 1>overly serious. If you're like I need this, this and

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:54.000
<v Speaker 1>this and this is all I want. Yeah, that's going

0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:55.960
<v Speaker 1>to be a turn off. I just mean be like, hey,

0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for somebody who really loves his dog and

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:02.520
<v Speaker 1>he likes to eat. Dude. I just specifically what you're

0:24:02.600 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 1>looking for, and I think that will help in narrowing

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 1>down who you're going on dates with and then hopefully

0:24:10.560 --> 0:24:13.199
<v Speaker 1>in turn, also avoid some of that burnout because you're

0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:15.639
<v Speaker 1>just going on dates with the wrong people. Right, it

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:17.760
<v Speaker 1>is a numbers game. Though. Dating is a numbers game.

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:19.439
<v Speaker 1>There's no doubt about that.

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, looking back, I didn't even try. I really did

0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:23.919
<v Speaker 4>not try. I was so over it, Like I just

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:26.199
<v Speaker 4>be like, hey, that was like my opening line. I

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:28.160
<v Speaker 4>was just like, I'm not even gonna get creative anymore.

0:24:28.960 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>But you don't deserve my creativity.

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:33.399
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't know. But then it worked because he

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 4>was like, do you want to go out with me?

0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:36.639
<v Speaker 4>Or will you go out with me this Friday? Like

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:37.960
<v Speaker 4>what are you doing? And he made a plan, and

0:24:37.960 --> 0:24:40.359
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, that's how it works. That's how they get you.

0:24:40.760 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 4>They make a plan. And I was like, okay, make

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:43.080
<v Speaker 4>it plan.

0:24:43.160 --> 0:24:46.399
<v Speaker 1>But also I don't know about for yours, but for ours,

0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:49.000
<v Speaker 1>we maybe exchanged like two or three messages back and

0:24:49.040 --> 0:24:50.200
<v Speaker 1>it was like we were already going out.

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 4>Huh.

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 3>I didn't like messaging all that.

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:54.879
<v Speaker 1>There were so many pin pals, so many pinpals on

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the dating mapp who were like they just wanted to

0:24:56.560 --> 0:24:58.880
<v Speaker 1>sit there and chat with you, and I'm like, I,

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 1>if we're meeting, let's do let's.

0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:02.359
<v Speaker 4>Not don't waste time.

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:05.280
<v Speaker 1>So if you run into those, maybe just don't, like,

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.240
<v Speaker 1>don't engage with him and try and find one who's

0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:11.359
<v Speaker 1>really genuinely intentional about meeting you. On the other side too,

0:25:11.560 --> 0:25:14.160
<v Speaker 1>hmm yep, because the burnout also comes and just sending

0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 1>on the messages and having endless empty conversations for no reason.

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 4>Right, That's what it was like. You would just open

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 4>up your app and I'm like, oh, my gosh, another

0:25:22.320 --> 0:25:24.479
<v Speaker 4>how are you today? Like, no, let's just let's go.

0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Let's just say favorite color is blue.

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I am the youngest of four, I'm a vegetarian. It's like,

0:25:32.000 --> 0:25:33.520
<v Speaker 1>do I have to tell you all this anymore?

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:35.879
<v Speaker 3>I'll something original and then be like, let's go on

0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:36.200
<v Speaker 3>a date.

0:25:36.280 --> 0:25:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Cool exactly.

0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:40.160
<v Speaker 1>That's great And that's literally what man in uniform did

0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:41.719
<v Speaker 1>and it sounds like that's what yours is. Did your

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 1>have a nickname? Is he still?

0:25:43.000 --> 0:25:44.080
<v Speaker 4>She said cheese head?

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:47.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's what cheesehead did too, So yeah, you know,

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:48.400
<v Speaker 1>do that.

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:49.800
