30
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 3: Of people it's been difficult.

31
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,119

36
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,720

Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong.

40
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: Look, we we we we were born this year feeling things.

41
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm trying to figure out how to say that,

42
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: but like that's a good thing for us that came

43
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty five. This is the best decision we ever.

44
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: And our whole lives ever ever.

45
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: When it comes to this podcast.

46
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: I would do this year again. I just wouldn't. If

47
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: I had a choice of like five different years, it

48
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: probably probably wouldn't choose it.

49
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I would.

50
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind living it again, but I wouldn't be like, yes,

51
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: I get to do twenty twenty five again.

52
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, like twenty twenty five, Okay, yeah, maybe I'm not

53
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: doing twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two.

54
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: Again ever, ever, never, ever, ever, ever when undo.

55
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: Them Yeah, undo, undo, undo, Well, no, really, we'll just

56
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: do feeling of the day, because feeling the year it

57
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: was just a quick thing that we randomly did. Maybe

58
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: reflect on your year and see what you're feeling for

59
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: the year is and then think about your feeling of

60
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: the day.

61
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: Are you asking me that I'm.

62
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: Telling you, I'm telling our listeners. I'm saying, like that's

63
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: something to reflect on. Yeah, Like, it just came out

64
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: of my mouth when we started recording. But I didn't

65
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: plan on us talking about a feeling of the year.

66
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: But if you had to put a feeling attached to

67
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: your year, what would it be.

68
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: I have an idea what I going to attempt to

69
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: do this, but don't hold me to it because I

70
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: can't promise anything. I think it'd be really cool to

71
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: have a chart. Follow me, have a chart of feelings,

72
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: and I keep track of both of our feelings of

73
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 2: every week, and at the end of the year next year,

74
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: I can like say, like, we felt annoyed seventeen times,

75
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: we felt excited forty times, we felt.

76
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: Okay, So you can be like, according to my data,

77
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: this is what our year was I love it? Okay, okay, yeah,

78
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: hold you to it.

79
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: Okay, waite, we keep the chart in the room.

80
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: That's great.

81
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: You pet like a tally mark under you know, let's

82
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: do it. Okay, okay, So what's your feeling of the day.

83
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm trying not to take your feeling because I feel

84
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: like I wouldn't have chosen that one, but I saw it,

85
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: so now it feels like it's my feeling. So if

86
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: I was gonna be honest, I feel, please be honest.

87
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: I'm a big liar. I feel I want to say, fine,

88
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: that's not a feeling. I'm trying to think. I had

89
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: an interesting therapy session yesterday where I was like not

90
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: really allowing myself to feel what I really was feeling.

91
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to think what that is. I feel unfeelingable.

92
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: What what would the feeling be? You be the therapist, now,

93
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: what would the feeling be that where I like, I'm

94
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: feeling muted not did I have feelings like I can

95
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 2: feel excited and but my true feeling is I think

96
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: sad and angry and melancholy. Melanchol Yeah maybe yeah, melancholy

97
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: fits like me.

98
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: What's up with that?

99
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: More Today? Determined.

100
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: It's during it's been Christmas in New Year's and well

101
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: that have coming trip to New York.

102
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: It's both. I do have all that excitement and happiness

103
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: and joy, but I also have all this other stuff

104
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: that I because I live in the happiness and excitement

105
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: and joy like that, I will choose to. So I'm

106
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: trying to access the darker side of me that isn't

107
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: just the annoyed because I think I'm really easy to

108
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: go to.

109
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 3: Being annoyed, and you're easy to get to.

110
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you express your annoyance easily, but you know

111
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: what you can identify.

112
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: You're feeling so annoyed and irritated by people, but that's

113
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: not my real root feeling. So I'm trying to like

114
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: access that, but it's hard right now. So I was

115
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: trying to think of what that would be. I'm feeling blocked,

116
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 2: but that's not a feeling. So I'm feeling excited and challenge.

117
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting that this is where your feelings really

118
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: are ish and I put down because you said you

119
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: saw mine in the dock because we have our Google dog,

120
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: I put motivated. Maybe you're motivated to figure out your

121
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: darker feelings. Okay, so I'm not gonna lie. I put

122
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: that in the dock yesterday.

123
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: Oh have things changed?

124
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know what. What was I

125
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 3: feeling motivated about.

126
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 2: Does it have to do with the content of the episode.

127
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 3: I don't know.

128
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: I don't Maybe yeah, maybe because I was building the

129
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 1: episode and I am feeling motivated to get my house

130
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: together because I'm what, yeah, like I've been what's the

131
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: word I'm looking for deliberately chose to stay home for

132
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: myself for lots of reasons, but one of them was

133
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: to kind of with that time, have things a little

134
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: bit more organized in my home?

135
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you're still putting your house together

136
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: a year and a half after moving into it.

137
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 3: Yes.

Speaker 1: because this room I know that it's on me, but

140
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: I would really like a body double partner for it.

Speaker 1: something some screen cat brought over a long time ago

160
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: when we were gonna do like outfit pictures, and I

161
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: had a plan when we first started the podcast for

162
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: like yeah, and then we'll take a picture of the

163
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: outfits we're wearing every episode and be like, this is

164
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: what we're wearing, you know.

165
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: I was like, wait, I just wear sweatpants most of

166
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: the time.

167
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: Right, And then that quickly died so that can go

168
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: with like the sheet.

169
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a backdrop, That's what it is.

170
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: I have like plastic bins of storage full of like

171
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: pictures and photo frames that I need to take up

172
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: to my attic. We've got extra seating and stools and

173
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: blankets and framed work memorabilia for me, like do you

174
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: see me and Thomas Red over there?

175
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: I see it every week. And then extra panels.

176
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: Ectly yeah, sound panels. Yeah, we have some work to do,

177
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: but this is good.

178
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: This is good.

179
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: This leads right into what items in your house do

180
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: you need to fire? Because we tease that that's what

181
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: we were going to talk about this episode. And I

182
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: think as people go into the new year and they

183
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: want to declutter and hold themselves accountable to like a

184
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: stress free home. Yeah, I mean, could you imagine what

185
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: if this clutter is hindering our performance?

186
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a question?

187
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

188
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: What are you going to do with those animals?

189
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: My bucks?

190
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: Yeah?

191
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 3: I'm put them in my attic. I guess I'm not

192
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 3: getting rid of them.

193
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: Okay, That's why I was My question was like, we

194
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: all have those items that I mean something.

195
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: But you also they were my dad's And what if

196
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: one day I have a cabin I'd hang it out.

197
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: I was thinking, like, what if Stevenson wants to hang

198
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: in his room? One day?

199
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 3: Oh?

200
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: Sure, but like you, they're You're not hanging those anywhere

201
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: in your house.

202
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: No.

203
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: I used to have them hung in my house and

204
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: I had a spot form and they looked legit. Okay,

205
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: like when this when I at my other house, I

206
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: had the cabin room and it looked a legit in there.

207
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: It fit the vibe.

208
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: Where'd you put that Caeno sign?

209
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: It's in my dining room, but I doesn't really match

210
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: in there.

211
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm gonna do, Okay.

212
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: I just had it wondered of, like, what do you

213
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: do with that kind of stuff when like you can't.

214
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: Maybe that's part of what we're going to talk about.

215
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we're doing a performance review of your house. Okay,

216
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: So if you've had a hard time getting rid of things, well,

217
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: what items in your house do you need to fire?

218
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: Because when we buy things like stuff for our house

219
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: or maybe even clothes, makeups, things for your car, et cetera,

220
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: we are hiring that item or product to do a job. Right, Yeah,

221
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: We're like, hey, I'm buying you. You have a job

222
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: to do. Get to work. Every once in a while,

223
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: it's smart to do a performance review of all of

224
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: our things. An example that might be is this item

225
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: doing what I hired it to do. If not, you

226
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: fire it aka get rid of it.

227
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: But what if it's not doing what I hired it

228
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: to do? Because I'm not.

229
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 3: Okay, well then you don't need it? Like, do you

230
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: need it? You've had it all year? Do you need it?

231
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: I feel like you're mad at men?

232
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 3: No?

233
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: Sorry, Okay, So this is a tip from a Harvard professor,

234
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: and I'll read exactly what was written. A Harvard professor,

235
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: Clayton Christiansen, suggested we hire products for jobs. Things to

236
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: fire are items that aren't working, like clothes that don't fit,

237
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: clothes that don't make you feel good, old gadgets, or

238
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: anything causing clutter or stress instead of solving a problem.

239
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: Think clothes you never wear, unused gym equipment, duplicate kitchen tools,

240
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: or decord that doesn't inspire. Essentially any item failing at

241
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: its job of adding value to your life, freeing up space, money,

242
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: and mental energy according to decluttering principles. So okay, that

243
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: is what you need to do. You need to like

244
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: go around have a conversation with each product. I had

245
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: to do this with some makeup the other day. I

246
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: already knew that we were going to talk about this.

247
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: So I had it in my mind and I opened

248
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: up a cabinet and there's this Charlotte Tilbury something or

249
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: another that I bought four years ago. Okay, I've worn

250
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: it like once in four years, and so I was like,

251
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: are you doing like no, and yes, that's on me.

252
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm not using it. But I just don't think I

253
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: want to use this particular foundation or whatever it was.

254
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: I don't really wear foundation. So I chunked it. Plus

255
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: it's four years old, so you what it? I chunked it.

256
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 2: Okay, interesting that you shared. I would have said chucked

257
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: chucked it. I chucked it.

258
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Oh, I chunked it.

259
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: But I have a friend that sets she's from Alabama.

260
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: I wonder if it's like a Southern thing. Chunk it

261
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 2: turn it out? Interesting? See. I have a hard time

262
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: with that because I would have been like, I spent

263
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: a lot of money on this foundation, and what if

264
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: I need it one day? So I'm probably gonna be

265
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: bad at this, but I like it. Like I have

266
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: a Garmin watch from like ten years ago that no

267
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: longer the GPS doesn't work, but I still have it

268
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: in a bag because of why Because what if I

269
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: take it to a shop and get it fixed one day.

270
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: You're not You could donate it. It doesn't work, okay.

271
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 3: Okay, donate it for Okay, it doesn't work. You just

272
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: need to throw chunk it.

273
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: I need to chunk it.

274
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: That Garmin watch from ten years ago is fired.

275
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 2: I need to fire it because it's not working. Yeah,

276
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: it's literally not working.

277
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: It's literally not doing what you hired it to do. Okay,

278
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Like when you hired that watch and had a purpose

279
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: and now it is dead.

280
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: Like how did I move it to my new house?

281
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 2: Why did I do that?

282
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: See? And that's the thing. We end up doing that,

283
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: and then it just ends up accumulating over time, and

284
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: then that's when we have too much stuff, which leads

285
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: me to the red flags. Okay, that your house has

286
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: too much stuff. Okay, these flags, I'm going to read

287
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: through them. Basically, there's gonna highlight if you have too

288
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: many things. Okay, Like in this room, like I'm storing

289
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: some stuff in those plastic bins so that it's all

290
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: organized and I can find it easily. But I guarantee

291
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 1: you there's things in those bins that just need to

292
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: be fired.

293
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: You're storing them so you can get to them. Easily,

294
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: but like, will you ever need to get to them? Correct?

295
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Red flags? Here we go, red flags, here we go.

296
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: You can't find things you know you own. Check cleaning

297
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: takes forever. You're not cleaning, you're just moving piles around.

298
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean maybe it depends in here you avoid certain rooms.

299
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 2: No, I don't feel that you.

300
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 3: Organize constantly, but nothing stays organized.

301
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 2: I cannot claim that I organize constantly. I can't remember

302
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: the last night organized something.

303
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: Surfaces never stay clear.

304
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: My kitchen counters are always they always have stuff piling

305
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: on them. Like i'll move, I'll clean it, and then

306
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: again I'll I clean it before I came here. When

307
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: I get home, I bet there's stuff on the kitchen counter,

308
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: like envelopes and so many envelopes.

309
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: So maybe you need like a little basket.

310
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: It's clutter still, But the basket.

311
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: You can put in the cabinet. Or do you have

312
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: a drawer.

313
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: Do you have a junk drawer?

314
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's so crammed full of stuff.

315
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 3: I think you get through it. You've just moved in.

316
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: I had a junk drawer in my old house, and

317
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: I put everyone in that junk stow in a bag

318
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: and I transwer it to a new junk and then

319
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: dumped it in there.

320
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: Okay, you feel anxious at home? I don't really have that,

321
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: although that's like back to this room. We are just

322
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time in here and we're working.

323
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Like what if we get this room all spruceduff, we

324
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: get it cleared out, and then suddenly we're magically better.

325
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: Which would be crazy because I was about to say

326
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: I don't feel anxious in here, but I bet if.

327
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 3: It was, probably because it's my house.

328
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I was gonna say, I bet that I would

329
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: feel better if it was really clear. So it'd be

330
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: a fun experiment. We should do it and not tell

331
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: listeners and see if they can tell which episode we've

332
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 2: cleaned the room.

333
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: I think my real feelings came out because it's sort

334
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: of contradicts myself, because like, I don't feel anxious in

335
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: my home at all, but this is like its own room.

336
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: I feel like this is our podcast room, Like it's

337
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: not a part of my home I hang out in

338
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: unless we're working.

339
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: That's true.

340
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: You know, at other parts of my house I'm in

341
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: all the time and I don't feel anxious in them.

342
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: But right now, especially because we're focused on it and

343
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: feeling a little.

344
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: I feel like the walls are caving in on us now.

345
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: You're always thinking about more storage. Yeah, and then you

346
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: keep items for a quote someday that never comes.

347
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: There's nothing worse, and I already want to redact that,

348
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: because there are things worse. But it is an annoying

349
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: feeling to get rid of something because you're like, man,

350
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: I don't need it, and then you have to breebuy it,

351
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: you know.

352
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like how often does that happen?

353
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: Every now and then?

354
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: I try to think of like what though? Like what, like, well,

355
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: this one time trying to think of that. Yes, stalling,

356
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: If you really slow, you'll think of it.

357
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: So so on this one time, I do have to admit.

358
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: So a couple of years ago, No, that was stalling.

359
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: You really, I do have something I need to get

360
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: off my chest. Okay, so then I do something about this.

361
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, we went to a couple's

362
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: I don't remember if the theme was, but you had

363
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 2: to have like a couple's costume. It wasn't Halloween, Oh,

364
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: Singo to Mayo or it was single to Mayo and

365
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: the Kentucky Derby. You could have a costume in either.

366
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 2: So I dressed up as a pinata and then Patrick

367
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: dressed up as a kid. He had like a blindfold

368
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: and a bat cute. It was really cute. I hope

369
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 2: made my costume out. It was so cute. So I

370
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: have two examples of things here. So the costume, I

371
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: glued tissue paper to make it look like a pinata

372
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: on a shirt, and I threw it away after because like,

373
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 2: you can't wash the shirt. But then a couple of

374
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: weeks later a friend asked to borrow the costume and

375
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: I had thrown it away, and that was upsetting. That's

376
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: one thing I wish I kept it so somebody else

377
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: could have used it. Okay, So there's that Patrick wore

378
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 2: a sombrero or I think a sombrero as part of

379
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: his costume, and he wanted to throw the hat away

380
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: after we went to the party because he's like, what

381
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: am I ever gonna need a sombrero again? And I

382
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 2: wouldn't let him because I was like, well, I don't

383
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 2: want to have to buy another sombrero. I don't want

384
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 2: to spend any more money on sobreros than I've already spent.

385
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 2: So I've been hiding it in my laundry hamper for

386
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 2: I think two years, so.

387
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: That he doesn't get rid of it.

388
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, like why did I put it's

389
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 2: been in the bottom.

390
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: You're hiding it, or that's just where you store it.

391
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: I stored it and that's just been in the bottom

392
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: of my laundry hamper.

393
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how you've stored it.

394
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: And it's so it's out of.

395
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: Sight, so that yeah, he doesn't he isn't like donating

396
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: it or and he's not like, let's get rid of this.

397
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 2: But now it's smushed at the bottom of my towel

398
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: laundry hamper. It probably doesn't even smell I got it.

399
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: So, like I while you were telling that story, I

400
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: thought of an example of something that I got rid

401
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: of where I had that thought of, like, if I

402
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: ever need something, I'll just go buy this again, because

403
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: for a costume when you're I had bought this like

404
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: black top hat, and I found it recently in my

405
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: guest room closet and I'm thinking, why do I have

406
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: this black top hat? And then I'm like, well, what

407
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: if I need it? And I'm like, but I haven't

408
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: needed it in years, And then I made the decision

409
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: to put it in the donate pile because if I

410
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: need another black top hat, I'll just address that issue then,

411
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: Like I didn't need to keep the black it was

412
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: like collecting dust.

413
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 2: Well I think that's my point is like I was like, no,

414
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: what if we need I know, but I fired it.

415
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: You need I got it. I know when I get home,

416
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: I'm firing the sombrero. Look at you now, I don't

417
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 2: even want to wear that sombrero if I do need

418
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: to use it. But also like I'm never needing that.

419
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna need it.

420
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: Growth.

421
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: I feel like we just witnessed growth.

422
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're there. It's time.

423
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: Go in there, get that hat out of the hamperer

424
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: and you fire.

425
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to throw it right in the trash and

426
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 2: there you go. It's where you belong.

427
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: So on a recent episode, you told us about or

428
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: we were talking about gifting things walking around your parents'

429
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: house and or anybody's house in your family and grabbing

430
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: actual items from the house and wrapping it.

431
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 3: Up and gifting. That's people.

432
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: So do you want to explain that because we have

433
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: a voicemail from one of our listeners, Linda explaining that

434
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: her family did this and it was so much fun.

435
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: So this would be something people could keep in mind

436
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: for a family gathering or start tradition your Christmas next

437
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: year or something, or if like there's a birthday gathering

438
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 1: or get together this year, it could be like a

439
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: funny thing to do. So we got Linda's voicemail, but

440
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: I wanted you just set it up in case listeners

441
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: and hear that episode they know what Linda's talking about.

442
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 2: So I saw this on social media last year, I think.

443
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,719
Speaker 2: But basically, imagine that your whole family goes to celebrate

444
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: Christmas at your grandma's house, and everybody in the family

445
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 2: picks an item unbeknownst to your grandma from your grandma's

446
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 2: house and wraps it and gives it to somebody as

447
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: a gift. So everybody, like everybody picks one thing, they

448
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 2: wrap it, and they give it to a random person.

449
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: So then when you're opening gifts as a family. I

450
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 2: have to find their original video of this, because the

451
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: grandma was so sweet the whole time and you start

452
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: to open gars.

453
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: Oh that's pretty, She's like, I have one just like

454
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: that that looks familiar.

455
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, or like you'll wrap like a little clock and

456
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 2: she'll be like, oh my gosh, I used to have

457
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 2: one that looks just like that. Or it starts to

458
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 2: you can wrap a sweater of hers or like something

459
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: random for the kitchen and from the kitchen, and then

460
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: eventually you would hope that the grandma whoever you do

461
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: this too, catches on and is like, wait, these are

462
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: my things. But it's just like a cute prank. Yes,

463
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: and it's just so sweet to lot well.

464
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: And in Linda's voicemail, you'll hear that it took her

465
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: a minute for her parents to catch on, and especially

466
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: her mom. And I was like, oh, maybe that's a

467
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: red flag they have too much stuff, you know, like

468
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: that could be an indicator, like if you have so

469
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: many things in your house. Because I think Linda said

470
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: like twenty different people participated. They had twenty gifts wrapped.

471
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: Twenty that means it's time to yes and give.

472
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: Maybe, But I feel like older people, like when I

473
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: think of my grandma's house, like she had so much stuff,

474
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: and she had a basement and it was just full

475
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 1: of stuff, Like there was just so much cool stuff.

476
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: I think, well, when she passed away, we didn't nobody

477
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: really wanted any of it because my grandma smoked and

478
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: everything had a deep or a thick.

479
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: Layer of smoke smell on it. Okay, that's fair. I

480
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 2: just my grandma's house. We took so much stuff from it,

481
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: and it was like some of it's some of it's

482
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: like in boxes because like what are you going to

483
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: do with it?

484
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: But it's a memory, I know, I think some of

485
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: the sentimental like family stuff, like you just find storage

486
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: for it, hopefully if you have it. But then you know,

487
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: like remember my mom's rocker, her little sweet rocker thing,

488
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: her glider. I really held on too that for a

489
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: while and then finally just decided to list it on

490
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: Facebook Marketplace and call it a day. And I feel

491
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: good about that. But I had to wait for the

492
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: right time.

493
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: What's the difference between your mom's glider and those books?

494
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: No, yes, it's not the right time. I guess.

495
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 2: Time.

496
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: Well, the glider, like the paint was starting to chip

497
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: and peel, and I was gonna either have to get

498
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: it repainted find a space for it.

499
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 3: I can't. It was huge.

500
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: I couldn't haul that up to the attic. The bucks

501
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: I can throw in the attic, no problem. Sure, if

502
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: I find a space for them that works, I can

503
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: hang them up, no problem. They're not chippin' true. They're

504
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: good to go. Okay, let's play Linda's voicemail.

505
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 5: Here you go, Hey, Amy and Kat love the show.

506
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 5: Just listening to yesterday's podcast about when Kat is talking

507
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: about regifting things from your parent or grandparents home and

508
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 5: then opening at Christmas. I've got a bigger family. There

509
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 5: was four siblings, and on Thanksgiving, that was when we

510
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 5: did last year Thanksgiving, we did the shopping I guess

511
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 5: you would say, at my parents' house. So all of

512
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 5: us were taking turns stealing different things like kinsles, little

513
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 5: knickknacks and pictures off the wall or different things. Somebody

514
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 5: even got a a fan, like it was a big

515
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 5: fan that was in the dining room, and so that

516
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 5: was our idea. We were going to see all the

517
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 5: stuff we gifted. We ended up having twenty some different items,

518
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 5: and it was enough for all of us to have

519
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 5: at least one including the kids. So I don't even

520
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 5: know how many presents were opened at this point. And

521
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 5: my dad caught on before my mom did, and it

522
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 5: was just so funny because he was looking like that

523
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 5: looks very familiar, and then my mom she was just like, oh,

524
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 5: that's awesome, haha whatever, like and then there was like

525
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 5: a sign or something that really gave it away. That

526
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 5: so then everybody started laughing and then we went through

527
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,959
Speaker 5: and like open the rest of them. It was just

528
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 5: so funny, and I recommend anybody do that because it

529
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 5: just makes her a really good time. All right, love

530
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 5: the show.

531
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: So seeing that funny like she I want to do it,

532
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: She said her mom was like wait a second. And

533
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: then then her parents didn't even notice that the fan

534
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: from the dining room.

535
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 2: Was missing.

536
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: That would be red flag time to maybe maybe her

537
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: parents need to do the what items in my house

538
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: do I need to fire?

539
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: Maybe all those items that people wrapped up everybody gets

540
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 2: to leave with them. Yeah, it depends if that's how

541
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: the game works. And I would have picked some specific

542
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: things in my parents.

543
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to get this diamond ring, this necklace, this jewelry.

544
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: Your mom's like wait a second, put that back, Okay.

545
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: Along with decluttering our houses or coming up with plans

546
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: to declutter and whatnot, something Cat and I have been

547
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: obsessed with is Beth's Dead. It's a podcast. In fact,

548
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: if you were walking around your house and you are

549
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: cleaning in the new year, and you need something to

550
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 1: listen to, and you're done listening to every Feeling Things episode.

551
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: Ever, Yeah, you can only start this after you've caught

552
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: up on all of it.

553
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: Then you are in luck because you get to binge

554
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: Beth's Dead and you get to binge it all in

555
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: one sitting, like you don't have to wait. Like Cat

556
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: and I started listening when they were just releasing week

557
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 1: to week. Unless you subscribe to their Patreon, you could

558
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,239
Speaker 1: get it all right away or you paid, but we

559
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: weren't paying, so since we were waiting for the free version,

560
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: we were having to wait week to week. But now

561
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: everything's out, and so this is Cat and I's warning

562
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: that it's all out. It's our announcement that it's all out.

563
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: And next next week we're going to talk about it.

564
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about it because I have some

565
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: serious thoughts and I'm trying not I'm trying to save

566
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 2: them for the podcast, but I really want to talk

567
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 2: about it.

568
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: We like Cat, just so y'all know, we're saving this

569
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: for y'all, like even our conversation between us, because I

570
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: have thoughts. Cat has thoughts, and I'm so curious if

571
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: our thoughts are the same. I think I feel like

572
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: they might be, but maybe not, maybe not.

573
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 2: I feel strongly I am.

574
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: Let's just say, I am feeling things. Oh yeah about

575
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: Beth's dead. And if you need some end of year

576
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: slash New Year entertainment, you have our permission to cheat

577
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: on feeling things.

578
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: It's a wild ride.

579
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 3: It's wild. Not that I need to give you all permission.

580
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 3: That was dumb when I say that.

581
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: Also, like they're like, oh, okay, all right, listen to

582
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: it now, Like.

583
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: People don't listen to other things. I mean, I listen

584
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: to lots of other things. Which my sister's friend, I've

585
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: known her my whole life too, but she was my

586
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: sister's best friend growing up and they are still friends

587
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 1: to this day, and our moms were friends. Like she

588
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: sent a text recently she was laughing at something that

589
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: we said, and I I replied back, I said, I'm

590
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: this is making me smile so big right now because

591
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: you listen. And she was like, oh yeah, you and Cat,

592
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know Cat because she lives in

593
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: Dallas and you know, she's a physical therapist and a mom,

594
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 1: Like I just.

595
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 3: Didn't know she listened, like you know Cat too.

596
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: I love Cat.

597
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I know, but it's like, oh

598
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: she knows.

599
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 4: Kat.

600
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: She listens and she was laughing at something we had said,

601
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: and it just made me smile. It makes me smile

602
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: when our friends listen, because I have zero expectations of

603
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 1: our friends listening, or like when my boyfriend listens, like

604
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: he'll make jokes sometimes and I'll be like, wait, Cat

605
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: and I were just talking about that.

606
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, duh, because that's why I said it.

607
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: And I was like, you listen, and he's like yeah,

608
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: this morning at the gym, and I was like, oh.

609
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 2: Is it? Is it your boyfriend's go to podcast.

610
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 3: Or is only I'll have to ask him, but I

611
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 3: don't know that he's a big podcaster.

612
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: Okay, because Patrick only listens when he's like run out

613
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 2: of things, or if he knows I talked about him,

614
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 2: so I need to talk about him more.

615
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: I guess, Oh, like if you can, if he knows

616
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: that he shocked about him, well he'll listen to this one.

617
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: Tell him yeah, oh you.

618
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: Came up a couple of times. Yeah.

619
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: Let me call Alex and let me just ask him,

620
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: like if he has any it might be at work.

621
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: So I would never do this, and I'm like, take

622
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: a break, do do do?

623
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: Oh? Hey, yo, hey, before you start talking. Oops. I

00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: just hung up on him.

625
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: I didn't meant to meet.

655
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: I appreciate. Because that is how I make a living.

656
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true, but that has nothing to do with me.

657
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: You've always been radio.

658
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,720

664
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: and clearly you don't have a podcast you listen to

665
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: unless you really need and board. Then then you listen

666

676
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,600

677
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,320

681
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: He'll see like an Instagram reel or his friend somebody

682
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 2: will say something to him, or that's true.

683
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: I bet you Instagram sometimes spurs. Yeah, a StairMaster, a

684
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: StairMaster session, if he probably sees something on Instagram.

685
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: He's like, Oh, I gotta go on the stairs.

686
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: I gotta go check that out. Okay, I know you

687
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,800

00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: new year, to kiss twenty twenty five goodbye.

691
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 2: Yes. So have you ever heard of a Hugo sprits.

692
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: I've heard of it, but I have no idea what's

693
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: in it.

694
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: Okay, it's akin to a gimlet, which is my favorite cocktail.

695
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: And because of you, I've adopted gimletz as my.

696
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: Gimlet is the best kind of giml Yes, and they're

697
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 2: so easy to make. Just so you know, you could

698
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 2: google this. But it's just Saint Germain, which is like

699
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: elder elderflower liquor. It's like floral jann Er vodka and

700
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: lime juice. It's so easy to make. And a cucumber

701
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: of course, So this is a more like because those

702
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: are strong. A gimlet's strong. This is a more like fun,

703
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 2: just like sippy cocktail Hugo sprits. It's elderflower liqueur, white

704
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: cranberry juice. Well, I'm giving you a holiday version. So

705
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: white cranberry juice, orange juice, prosecco, soda, water mint. We'll

706
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: put this in the show notes. But it's a really cute,

707
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: fun cocktail. You mix all together, you put it in

708
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: a wineglass. Have you ever had aparol sprits? Yes?

709
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 6: Okay, so it's that, but like gimlet version. Okay, because

710
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 6: a lot of people don't like aperol. I don't even

711
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 6: know how to say april. Well, you just like it,

712
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 6: if I, if I, if I've ever ordered that at

713
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 6: a restaurant, and like aerosol.

714
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: Aero sprits, please April aperol?

715
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: Okay, you're oh, you learn something new every day afall.

716
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 2: So this is a more holiday wintery version of that

717
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: because spritzers are kind of like summary, so this makes

718
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: it a little bit more like you can have.

719
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: It so like if you've got the mint, or maybe

720
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: if you throw in cranberry or something, it just gives

721
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: you holiday vibe.

722
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 2: Holiday vibes. And here's a pro tip, and I just

723
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 2: started doing this. If you get one of those, I

724
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 2: guess you could do this in any kind of ice

725
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: cube tray, but I got one of those silicone ice

726
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: cube trays. And I put a couple one because I

727
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: don't think I think my ice cubes were small. One

728
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 2: or two cranberries in there, and then a little like

729
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 2: mint leaf or you can put like a rosemary sprig

730
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 2: or something and then fill it with water. Then you

731
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 2: have really pretty ice cubes to put in your drink.

732
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 2: It's cute, and like, I think that people will think

733
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 2: your drink tastes good just because it looks really cute,

734
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 2: even if you mess up on the recipe. Festive festive,

735
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 2: So New Year's hugo sprits.

736
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 1: Your New Year's cocktail, and you could make I mean,

737
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: you could also whip up something like a mocktail. I'm

738
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: trying to decide. I'm probably gonna dry January again.

739
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 2: Well they have I forgot what it's called, but they

740
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 2: have elderflower liquor that is non alcoholic, and then you

741
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 2: could make with just cranberry juice soda water, you can

742
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 2: do a sparkling grape juice or something.

743
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: I have no idea this actually works, so I'm not

744
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna like report on the name yet. And it might

745
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: even be called the Patch. I don't know the company.

746
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: I was sent them for a package of them for free.

747
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: But I told you that I had a gimlet the

748
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 1: other night, and I actually had two cocktails that night,

749
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: and I had work the next day, and I knew

750
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: I was gonna be drinking, and so I put this

751
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: patch on my body. And it's supposed to like release

752
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: vitamins or nutrients or something into that helps with out harm.

753
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 3: I don't know.

754
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: They said, they said, put this patch on before you

755
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: go out, or you can put it on the next morning.

756
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: But I was like, well, I'm putting it on before

757
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: I go out. So I put the patch on, and

758
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: then my boyfriend and I were out. We were at

759
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: a Christmas party for like his friends, like a little dinner,

760
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: and I pulled up my sleeve and I was like,

761
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,839
Speaker 1: check out my patch. He was like, what is that.

762
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 3: I said, I don't know.

763
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: A company sent it to me and I'm testing it out.

764
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I felt it, okay.

765
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 2: I didn't feel for somebody who's very concerned about the

766
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 2: chemicals that their shirts was all natural. You just said

767
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: you didn't know what was in it.

768
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: Well, I mean when I say I don't know, like

769
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it was like vitamins. It wasn't

770
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: like weird stuff. I don't think it was sent to

771

775
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: what you would call this, but I'm gonna use that word.

776
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: And this is a little bit I'm bringing up old news.

777
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,400

778
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago, when we had the talk about

779
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 2: the chemicals, So a couple of weeks ago, if you

780
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 2: guys didn't hear that episode, Amy asked me if I

781

Speaker 3: I wear them, specifically underwear.

783
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 2: And then it went to bed sheets and all that,

784
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 2: and my answer was no, I do not do. I

785
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: just put things on. I'm very trusting, even especially if

786
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 2: something comes in a package then like it's like whatever.

787
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: If you look, I made a reel and I put

788
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 2: it on Instagram. If you look on that reel, you

789
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 2: go there, you will see the majority of people are

790
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 2: like team Amy, I wash everything, or like Kat, I

791
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 2: can't believe.

792
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 3: You do this.

793
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: Okay, well you're the one that captioned it Team Amy

794
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: or change cat. You made it a competition.

795
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 2: I did, But here's my gripe. I got so many

796
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:27,280
Speaker 2: d ms saying don't worry your girl. I am the same.

797
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: Because they don't the secret saying team cat and they

798
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: won't post on the reel.

799
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 2: And I'm like, this is this is even more upset

800
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: because you're letting me be publicly shamed like there is.

801
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 2: You need support, I need support like we there, shame

802
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 2: grows in silence. Stand up for yourself and me postme cat.

803
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 3: Right.

804
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 2: Well, so I just am saying that to the stick

805
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 2: up for myself. I know it looks like I am

806
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: in the minority, but if I could count up my

807
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 2: dms and add them as comments, I think we're pretty even.

808
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna say I'm winning. You still might

809
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 2: be winning a little bit more because I do think

810
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 2: you have a point. Thank you. You definitely do have

811
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,240
Speaker 2: a point. I will start. I'm going to think about

812
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 2: washing my underwear before I wear them when I buy them.

813
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 2: I really strongly think about it. And bed sheets that

814
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: actually I never even considered it, So thank you for that.

815
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: Howden do you wash your sheets?

816
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 3: Talk about that?

817
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 2: That is private information?

818
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: Okay, you probably do it every week, yes, once a week.

819
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: I think I try to do it once a month.

820
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: I know what we have to talk about this, but

821
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 1: this is too late in the episode.

822
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: It depends defends I actually I can't say this.

823
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: Let's oh, like, yeah, I get it, you're married. Is

824
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: that what you're talking about?

825
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 2: They'll be washed sure than that. But if.

826
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 3: Patrick's listening now, CAD's like, I don't know why I

827
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 3: can't have a baby? Wait, is that you're supposed to

828
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,280
Speaker 3: do that? Just kidding?

829
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Okay, so I guess it is more

830
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 2: than once a month.

831
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: But if that, no, I get it.

832
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: If I lived alone, singly, what about pillowcase?

833
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: Would you just maybe swap pillows or swap the pillowcase out?

834
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 2: My pillow cases are swapped, I feel like more than

835
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 2: my sheets.

836
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I hang in on more because I don't have.

837
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: To have it as a match, because I feel like

838
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 2: the pillow case gets more dirty than the sheets.

839
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: Okay, anyway, this is a whole nother, whole other episode.

840
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. No, seriously, I love doing this with you.

841
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: I love laughing with you, like us laughing like and

842
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: making think of like how much we've laughed recording this year,

843
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: and it is one of the best decisions that we

844
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 1: made So it was a pro for twenty twenty five,

845
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: like us going for it because we made the decision

846
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: to do it in twenty twenty four and it took

847
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: us until April of twenty twenty five to finally get

848
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: all of our ducks in a row and make it happen.

849
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 1: And so I'm proud of us for taking that leap

850
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: because it was a risk?

851
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 2: Was for me?

852
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: Was it for you?

853
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 2: Would you say it was a risk? What do you mean?

854
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 3: Oh?

855
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 1: Because what about it didn't work?

856
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 3: Yeah?

857
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: Like then it's awkward.

858
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 3: It's like, well you'll, well, uh when you just go

859
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 3: back to being just friends?

860
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then how do you I mean, we already

861
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: had fifth thing together, spirity knew what it was like

862
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: to work together. But still like, yeah, but we've had

863
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: some hiccups too of you know, divvying up responsibilities or

864
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: and then if it is one person's responsibility, and then

865
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: I'll chime in. You're like, well, I didn't ask your opinion,

866
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, shoot, you're right, you didn't. I'm

867
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: sorry you asked me about something else. Because it's like,

868
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: you know, stay in your lane, like you do what

869
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: you do, and I'll do what I do and then

870
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 1: if I ask your opinion, yeah, I've.

871
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: Been getting a little bit sensitive around me.

872
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: No, but it was it was fine, but I mean,

873
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: you know.

874
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 3: Things like that.

875
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 2: I was like, your opinion was right.

876
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes it just takes a whole time.

877
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: But I am very, very very grateful we made this happen. Yeah,

878
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: and I'm grateful for our listeners. And well, Kat and

879
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 1: I do need to sit down and have a little

880
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: planning sash for twenty twenty six of like I think

881
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: you and I both have talked about like we I

882
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: know I've been saying it for a couple of years now,

883
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: like I want to get something face to face, like

884
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: I miss our lives. You were a part of my

885
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: life in Kansas, you flew out, you did both the

886
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: shows in Nashville, and I think Nashville is a good

887
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: central location. There was a while where I was trying

888
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: to plan different tour stops before we merged into feeling things,

889
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: and I.

890
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 3: Was looking at like Tampa and Boston.

891
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 1: And while I do think we could do a tour,

892
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: I think we could also like just start like we

893
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: do need to have a meeting.

894
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 3: But I'm just gonna throw this out there.

895
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: They think we could also plan something for Nashville and

896
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: our national people come, but also people would come like

897
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: a they would come like it's a central location, it's

898
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: a fun place to visit, and we could make it

899
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: worth their time to come, and then we could pick

900
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: other spots to go to. But I miss the interaction

901
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: with our listeners.

902
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 3: I'm craving that.

903
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: So I hope that that's on our what do the

904
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: kids say?

905
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 3: Or millennial people say? I hope that's on our Bingo

906
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 3: card for twenty three six. I don't know if that's still.

907
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 1: Cool to say. I think the actual saying is, well,

908
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: that wasn't all my Bingo card for this year, but

909
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: I hope I'm gonna do the saying the different this

910
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: way and say I hope that's on our twenty twenty

911
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: six bing Go card.

912
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 2: We should make Bingo cards instead of vision boards.

913
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: Huh oh, I get what you're saying, Like, instead of

914
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 1: doing a bit like we make a being ooh.

915
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: And then when it happened, we have to talk it

916
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 2: like a sticker on it?

917
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: Sick? Do people do that?

918
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 2: We will if somebody has had to have done that.
