Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to Gee Did you get the name
Speaker 1: of the show already?
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I was trying to do something else and you jumped
Speaker 3: in there and you rescued me. Yeah, when I didn't
Speaker 3: really need the rescuing this time. Yeah, usually just let
Speaker 3: me drown.
Speaker 2: You didn't need the life wrapped.
Speaker 3: Yes, hey everybody, if you didn't know, welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 3: Amy and TJ. Here another episode and another daughter that
Speaker 3: Robok has sent.
Speaker 2: Away to Europe. Why do you keep sending your children
Speaker 2: to Germany? Sending away? Wow, that sounds awful. You did no.
Speaker 2: They begged me to go, and I said, okay, yes,
Speaker 2: no my youngest, my seventeen year old, and Elise it
Speaker 2: is her mid winter break, and so she opted to
Speaker 2: go to ball Me a warm Berlin. Her older sister
Speaker 2: Ava is there studying abroad, and so she just just arrived.
Speaker 1: Well, I joke about it, because we did.
Speaker 3: We started an episode not too long ago, and obviously
Speaker 3: that episode was one that a lot of people talked
Speaker 3: about because we had gotten into I hate calling it
Speaker 3: a fight whatever. We aired out an argument we were
Speaker 3: having and you had just dropped her off. Then that
Speaker 3: wasn't long ago and now here, we are recording another
Speaker 3: and you just shipped another kid off to Germany.
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy. It was almost exactly a month ago.
Speaker 2: I know, and I'm just gonna ignore it, but ship
Speaker 2: them all. The funny thing is, so I was pretty emotional,
Speaker 2: as I pointed out when Ava went off, because she's
Speaker 2: gonna be gone for five months, and then Annalise is
Speaker 2: only gone for a week. But this is the beginning
Speaker 2: because she is going to go to college yeah next fall.
Speaker 2: And so now, for whatever reason, when I dropped her
Speaker 2: off at the airport, and this is the first time,
Speaker 2: by the way, she's ever flown by herself overseas, I mean,
Speaker 2: it is a big deal. I don't think a lot
Speaker 2: of us have teen year old so I was worried
Speaker 2: to nurse for her, but I don't know, I just
Speaker 2: got super emotional. I couldn't stop crying yesterday, probably because
Speaker 2: we had a little bit of a snaffoo that set
Speaker 2: me off, maybe too off.
Speaker 3: You get all the way to the airport, you drive
Speaker 3: from Manhattan to JFK, which is the farthest airport from
Speaker 3: If you're going to do it, that's the one you
Speaker 3: don't want to fly it off lovely airport. Love you
Speaker 3: just takes a while to get to You drive her out,
Speaker 3: you were very excited to get there.
Speaker 1: You drop her off. Yep, you leave said airport, and
Speaker 1: then you get a call.
Speaker 2: I get a frantic phone call from Annalie's saying, Mom,
Speaker 2: I forgot my.
Speaker 3: Passport, which is the only thing you need if you're
Speaker 3: flying out of the country.
Speaker 2: You can replace everything else except for your passport.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it's so funny, like I knew the answer. But
Speaker 2: as I'm pulling back around to get her and she's sobbing,
Speaker 2: I call my dad, who is a world traveler. I
Speaker 2: was like just checking, like, there's no way we can
Speaker 2: get her out of this country and back in without
Speaker 2: a port. He was like, absolutely not, and so yes,
Speaker 2: we had to drive an hour and a half that's
Speaker 2: how long it takes since traffic back into Manhattan, and
Speaker 2: the whole time on the phone with Delta trying to
Speaker 2: rebook her. As she she pulled herself together, and I
Speaker 2: actually was proud that I didn't freak out either, because
Speaker 2: normally I think I would get upset with her, but
Speaker 2: she was so she was so mad at herself, there
Speaker 2: was no reason to be to add on to pylon.
Speaker 2: So I tried my best to say, it's okay, you're
Speaker 2: going to get on another flight. It's going to be fine.
Speaker 2: So you know, it's fine. She just ended up like
Speaker 2: the last row on the plane, in a middle seat,
Speaker 2: and she was fine. She's seventeen, fine, she's fine, and
Speaker 2: she made it.
Speaker 3: When these things happen, it's she's going to appreciate that
Speaker 3: she made the mistake now because it's going to be
Speaker 3: a more important time that she will never ever leave
Speaker 3: that passport.
Speaker 2: She will never forget her passport again. And it's funny
Speaker 2: because and I actually kind of kicked myself a little
Speaker 2: bit as a mom, we have been able to travel
Speaker 2: a lot, and she's she and her sister have both
Speaker 2: been I've really tried to have them be self sufficient independent.
Speaker 2: I don't pack them when they were little, so I
Speaker 2: don't even ask. This is the first time she forgot
Speaker 2: her passport. But as a mom, I was kicking myself.
Speaker 2: I should have said, do you have your passport?
Speaker 1: We are a great mom, And of all the things
Speaker 1: I see you do, there's worse things you could do.
Speaker 2: So forth, oh wow, I was waiting for next No,
Speaker 2: but I do take part responsibility. I am the adult,
Speaker 2: and I should have asked her, do you have your passports?
Speaker 3: I did not, lesson learned. She got there, she's fine.
Speaker 3: They reunitedah Be and her sister and everything's gonna be great.
Speaker 3: But the reason she's going anywhere this week is because,
Speaker 3: and I guess a lot of people are not familiar
Speaker 3: with this.
Speaker 1: I had to learn.
Speaker 2: You had to learn this as well.
Speaker 3: But kids here in New York get a they call
Speaker 3: it officially a mid winter recess. So your child, her
Speaker 3: school sameIn is in a in public school up here,
Speaker 3: so they get a midwinter recess and then a spring recess.
Speaker 3: So that's traditionally what we're used to a spring break
Speaker 3: for most of us in the country. So Sabine's got
Speaker 3: two months she's off this week. We're looking at her
Speaker 3: right now and looking at us recording this podcast because
Speaker 3: she has nowhere to go because she's on break.
Speaker 2: Well, so we put them to work.
Speaker 3: So she's been working helping us with this. But yours
Speaker 3: order at least her school is set up to where
Speaker 3: her spring break is a month away.
Speaker 2: It's a month away, so it's so ridiculous. So you
Speaker 2: have to have one break where you know you have
Speaker 2: to figure out what you're going to do with them
Speaker 2: or where you're going to ship them off, as you
Speaker 2: like to say, you do no usually I travel with them,
Speaker 2: but no now, and then in another month she has
Speaker 2: another break.
Speaker 1: It's a lot, and these little parents sometimes do complain. Look,
Speaker 1: school is, yeah, you want your kids in school, but
Speaker 1: also a lot of people use it.
Speaker 3: If you have a week that you have to find
Speaker 3: something to do with your kids, that can be tricky.
Speaker 3: And then you get a week and it's only a
Speaker 3: month or two months apart.
Speaker 2: It's tricky. I didn't grow up like this. You didn't either.
Speaker 3: We had Labor Day, we had Thanksgiving, we had two
Speaker 3: weeks at Christmas, had Easter or Good Friday. I should say,
Speaker 3: we had spring break. I think we had MLK.
Speaker 2: That was it, because I think down well, I was
Speaker 2: going to say down South, you actually were in school
Speaker 2: before Labor Day. So yes, you got Labor Day off,
Speaker 2: but by the time, yeah, by the time Memorial Day
Speaker 2: was there, you were opposite. And now our kids don't
Speaker 2: get off until the fourth of July, basically.
Speaker 3: And it's I look, it's a great thing here in
Speaker 3: New York. It's just obviously much more diverse city. So
Speaker 3: you out for the Jewish holidays, you out for Eed,
Speaker 3: you're out for I mean it's a federal holiday now.
Speaker 3: But Juneteenth you throw that in there, you yam kfor
Speaker 3: is in there. But you have all of these thing
Speaker 3: kids are out of school so much so the mid
Speaker 3: winter recess is a tricky one. And I was looking
Speaker 3: for something to do with Sabine. We begged her, like, come,
Speaker 3: let's get out of town, let's do something everything. Nope,
Speaker 3: I just want to hang which is fine. I guess
Speaker 3: that's cool.
Speaker 2: I mean that's great. It's just, you know, it's tough
Speaker 2: for parents. Look when we had very demanding jobs, it
Speaker 2: was all the trickier.
Speaker 3: Sweetheart, we still have a demanding job. I don't know
Speaker 3: what your experience is.
Speaker 2: It's a little less demanding.
Speaker 3: And I was, you know what, I hear what you're saying,
Speaker 3: and I get what you're saying. But man, in a
Speaker 3: lot of ways, we had so much of a support
Speaker 3: staff around us to be in a position now that
Speaker 3: we're doing. If folks see us, and they will see
Speaker 3: some of this. We are sitting in a reading nook
Speaker 3: in the apartment with a laptop, a sleeping dog, and
Speaker 3: an eleven year old who has a mintway to recess
Speaker 3: on the floor in front of us.
Speaker 2: What do you call that light we have? It's a
Speaker 2: really cheap ring light that we got on Amazon.
Speaker 3: Ring light with my phone. This is our setup. We
Speaker 3: had to do all of it. We had to prepare content,
Speaker 3: we have to research. So I get what you're saying.
Speaker 3: But man, the support we don't have, Oh, correct support staff.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, I heart, we love you.
Speaker 1: You all are great and supporting.
Speaker 2: No, but I hear what you're saying. It was just
Speaker 2: more schedule and we had to be somewhere. Now it's
Speaker 2: kind of on us. So the pressure is on us.
Speaker 2: But you can accommodate kids and dogs in a way
Speaker 2: you couldn't if you were going into the studio.
Speaker 3: But we already with midwinter recess. I guess some kids
Speaker 3: love it. I thought, well, why in the world do
Speaker 3: they do this? Would they do this? It started simply
Speaker 3: about forty five years ago. They just wanted to save
Speaker 3: some money for a week. There was a kind of
Speaker 3: a I guess an oil and energy crisis. They were
Speaker 3: looking for a way to cut back, so they took
Speaker 3: a week off. They made a deal with the teachers
Speaker 3: Union to save tens of millions of dollars by being
Speaker 3: off for a week, and it has the test of
Speaker 3: Time's still.
Speaker 2: Here always about money, isn't it?
Speaker 1: Oh wow?
Speaker 2: It all everything goes back to that. It's just that's
Speaker 2: not surprising at all, and the fact that we're still
Speaker 2: doing it also is not surprising at all.
Speaker 3: What we're looking for thinks, Look, your child is gone.
Speaker 3: My child didn't want to go anywhere. Still, I don't
Speaker 3: understand why. But if you're looking for something parents in
Speaker 3: New York, we got a good option for you.
Speaker 1: Take them to the movies.
Speaker 2: We got a movie for you. You gotta see. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: it was not a movie that maybe would have been
Speaker 2: on your radar if you had read any reviews. But
Speaker 2: that does not deter us because we're the two who
Speaker 2: I love. A thirty percent or lower Rotten Tomato score,
Speaker 2: it usually is entertaining, So I'm not deterred by a
Speaker 2: bad review or two. Madam Webb. We saw it this
Speaker 2: weekend and I would say we had one of the
Speaker 2: best movie experiences we've had, I would think in the
Speaker 2: last few months, and we see a lot of movies.
Speaker 3: Well, our problem, essentially, our problem but we are very much.
Speaker 3: We don't go to a theater unless it's a horror movie. Correct, Right,
Speaker 3: So we have a whole schedule for the rest of
Speaker 3: the year for horror movies include what's the Imagine Area?
Speaker 2: Oh it cannot wait?
Speaker 1: Wait for that one?
Speaker 2: Evil Teddy Bears? What could be better?
Speaker 3: But we are not We don't even almost look at
Speaker 3: other movies if it's not a horror movie.
Speaker 2: Correct. The only reason this one one? And again, I
Speaker 2: love the Marvel.
Speaker 3: Movies and I love superhero movies, but this one wasn't
Speaker 3: on my radar to watch just because it just wasn't interested,
Speaker 3: wasn't into it. That's fine, not a big deal. When
Speaker 3: I started reading so much about this consensus of just
Speaker 3: how bad the movie was, like, what in God's name
Speaker 3: is going?
Speaker 2: I got curious? You sent me. I remember on text
Speaker 2: the reviews and some of the headlines, and they were
Speaker 2: some of the worst headlines I've ever seen about a movie.
Speaker 2: And that made us both say, hell, yeah, let's go.
Speaker 2: I need to see this movie.
Speaker 1: And it was a curiosity.
Speaker 3: So it's much credit to look Dakota Johnson and Sidney Sweeney. Right,
Speaker 3: these are talented a whole a lot of talented people
Speaker 3: in the movie. And so this is not an indictment
Speaker 3: of any way or even making fun. Look these people
Speaker 3: put in their heart and their sweat and their effort
Speaker 3: into this movie, the product whatever it's being talked about
Speaker 3: the way it's talked about.
Speaker 2: But we went and enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: Yes, we went, and it got our attention because of
Speaker 3: negative headlines, but we actually enjoyed the experience as take
Speaker 3: a time a good.
Speaker 2: Way to put it. We were entertained from start to finish.
Speaker 1: Whole time.
Speaker 2: We had an absolute blast. I actually took some lines
Speaker 2: and put them in my notes in my folder to
Speaker 2: bring back up to you in silly moments, because we
Speaker 2: just it was. It was that good, and so I
Speaker 2: would just say, sometimes you can appreciate things that you
Speaker 2: wouldn't think you could, and this is one of those.
Speaker 3: That's a very good way to put it. So we
Speaker 3: had a blast doing that, and we got to have
Speaker 3: while we were there. I guess we were We were
Speaker 3: eating and drinking in a way that we weren't able
Speaker 3: to do in January. I'm not we weren't drinking heavily,
Speaker 3: but I'm saying that to say that we were able
Speaker 3: to at this theater. Have a beer, yes, yep, So
Speaker 3: we weren't intoxicating in such a way that had any impact.
Speaker 2: I was watching the film. But the point there being
Speaker 2: it's February.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: We got through January, a dry January, completely dry. Tell
Speaker 3: me at the end of January, you gave a little
Speaker 3: bit of an update, but as far as your health
Speaker 3: after January.
Speaker 2: So I lost six and a half pounds in the
Speaker 2: month of January, and I actually weighed myself this morning
Speaker 2: because I wanted to make sure I was truthful, and
Speaker 2: it's the same. I kept it off, so that's amazing.
Speaker 2: That was a huge health benefit. Other than that, I
Speaker 2: think maybe I slept better and had extra energy in
Speaker 2: the morning, but I don't usually lack in either of those,
Speaker 2: so it's hard for me to gage well energy Like
Speaker 2: I popped out of bed. I mean, okay today, maybe
Speaker 2: I didn't. Today was the exception, but mostly okay, fine.
Speaker 2: It takes me about twenty or thirty.
Speaker 3: There is nothing you have ever done in the am
Speaker 3: that qualifies as popping out of bed.
Speaker 2: Nothing, but if you compare it to you, you've been
Speaker 2: up since four, so you're like raring to go. I
Speaker 2: didn't even know you got out of bed today. That's true.
Speaker 2: I woke up. I'm like, wow, where did he go?
Speaker 2: And it was only six o seven, So we are.
Speaker 3: I could put a bullhorn to your ear scream that
Speaker 3: there's a fire, and you would barely crack your eye open.
Speaker 2: Now it's just because you're dramatic all the time. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, eh, there he goes again, yelling fire. I
Speaker 2: what you're saying? Okay, fine, I had extra energy. So
Speaker 2: how about you? How do you feel?
Speaker 3: It's been great? And you can you can testify on
Speaker 3: my behalf here. I just have not had an interest
Speaker 3: in drinking lately. No, I have not at all, and
Speaker 3: it's great. Clearly, I feel better.
Speaker 2: I sleep better, in better health.
Speaker 3: It makes the running easier. But it's just you get
Speaker 3: into a habit or a routine for thirty one days
Speaker 3: of not drinking, and then February one came.
Speaker 1: Whatever.
Speaker 3: But now it's going a little longer than I thought. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and I've just the alcohol is not appealing to me.
Speaker 2: Both of us have. I would say at least I
Speaker 2: would say maybe a sixty to seventy percent decrease in
Speaker 2: what our experience had been. So I mean, I would
Speaker 2: say for short. Now. I did have a glass of
Speaker 2: wine on February one, just because I wanted to. But
Speaker 2: it's been really awesome. I have not You start to
Speaker 2: create a habit and then you just don't go to it.
Speaker 2: Like we go to club Soda. We go to you
Speaker 2: got your little Cranberry club Soda concoction and you go
Speaker 2: to that. A lot are now just red bull And
Speaker 2: is it because I said little because.
Speaker 1: Well she caught it too, Savine is looking as she
Speaker 1: caught it to you have your it was cute spritzer thing.
Speaker 1: I mean it is a spritzer.
Speaker 2: I was trying not to say sprinzer because I know
Speaker 2: that doesn't sound very manly. But you have a little
Speaker 2: cranberry spritzer pans alcohol which you keep have kept up,
Speaker 2: which is great. It's refreshing, it does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is going really really well for us. Right now,
Speaker 1: what else?
Speaker 2: Haven't you use any weight?
Speaker 3: By the way, Oh yeah, you remember in the first
Speaker 3: two weeks I dropped eight pounds.
Speaker 1: Easy.
Speaker 2: Men are so annoying like that.
Speaker 1: That's the way we're annoying.
Speaker 2: Well, it's just one of many ways. But it's just like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I worked out for I walked for
Speaker 2: ten minutes and I lost three pounds. That's how we thought, yeah,
Speaker 2: men do that.
Speaker 3: And then after we get done walking, we have a
Speaker 3: little cranberry and club soda cocktail.
Speaker 2: It's a little spritzer, a little spritzer.
Speaker 3: Half marathon is coming up in a few weeks. We
Speaker 3: started something this year. We didn't mean to, but we
Speaker 3: kind of fell into it and now it's a routine
Speaker 3: and it's a habit of running every single day. It
Speaker 3: is here we are mid February. We have run every
Speaker 3: single day this year.
Speaker 2: It's pretty awesome. I've never done that in my life. Hella,
Speaker 2: we must say our former guest Hella convinced us or
Speaker 2: tinn't convinced. He was just telling us how great it
Speaker 2: was for him to have what he called a streak
Speaker 2: where he runs at least two miles every day. Now.
Speaker 2: His caveat is also that he has to run outside.
Speaker 2: We have not adhered to that because it has been
Speaker 2: brutally cold. There's been a few snowstorms actually here in
Speaker 2: New York City. And so I logged last week and
Speaker 2: this is definitely a record for me. Twenty six miles
Speaker 2: on the treadmill, not all at once, but for a week,
Speaker 2: and we actually ran again this morning. We have not
Speaker 2: run outside in since we were in New Orleans, which
Speaker 2: was what a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: You haven't?
Speaker 2: Oh you did? Oh you did? I have not.
Speaker 3: I didn't think about it. I did. Just remember you
Speaker 3: did a couple of times.
Speaker 2: I was like, knock yourself out. I am not doing that.
Speaker 2: So I was on the treadmill and I've we've developed
Speaker 2: some strategies, just mostly it's distraction because being on a treadmill.
Speaker 2: I did. We did eight miles.
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 2: I did eight miles. Yeah, what happened to you?
Speaker 1: I quit?
Speaker 2: That's not funny, and that's not honestly, that is so
Speaker 2: rare for you. You are not a quitter, Oh I
Speaker 2: got you are not a quitter.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: I I hate treadmill running, and the most I can
Speaker 3: four or five. But I just feeling it that day
Speaker 3: I stopped. I actually quit, left one building, went to another.
Speaker 3: I say, you know what, I'm going to finish up
Speaker 3: and run these last four. I ran two.
Speaker 2: So I'm sitting, I'm sitting on the treadmill. This is
Speaker 2: our at our apartment gym, and I'm running and all
Speaker 2: of a sudden he just gets off, gets his keys.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what are you doing. He's like, I'm done,
Speaker 2: and I was like what he was I'm going home.
Speaker 2: I was like, you are. And we weren't in a fight,
Speaker 2: so I knew he wasn't mad at me, and I
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, I'm gonna let him do his thing.
Speaker 2: But it's fair to think maybe, like I did, I say,
Speaker 2: was it something? I said, I'm not really sure what happened.
Speaker 2: So I just kept running and I finished the eight miles.
Speaker 2: It was awful, but I did it. And then I
Speaker 2: checked in with you and you're like, yeah, I went back,
Speaker 2: ran two miles and said f this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just I hate, hate, hate the treadmill. But
Speaker 3: this is a part of We have to get it
Speaker 3: in because we are a few weeks away.
Speaker 2: Four weeks yeah, four weeks away, thinks.
Speaker 3: So we have a very strict routine when it comes
Speaker 3: to running. But even on the off days, according to
Speaker 3: the training schedule, we still go down and we always
Speaker 3: get two miles in. And yeah, hell us a deba.
Speaker 3: If you don't know him, look him up. Hellas a
Speaker 3: debate we had him on. He has run every single
Speaker 3: day since twenty.
Speaker 2: Sixteen, seventeen, I think seventeen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he has not missed a day of running. And
Speaker 1: he is one of those folks.
Speaker 3: He won't get in your face and tell you to
Speaker 3: do this, do this, do this. It's one of those
Speaker 3: things where you don't have to talk to somebody, you
Speaker 3: don't have to come up with something to influence somebody,
Speaker 3: just just set an example and they'll motivate themselves.
Speaker 2: And you see his joy, Oh my, and then it's like,
Speaker 2: I want that. I want to do that. I want
Speaker 2: to feel good and proud and accomplished. And it's true
Speaker 2: just doing two miles, I would say, doing one mile,
Speaker 2: doing half a mile, walking a mile, whatever it is.
Speaker 2: Set a goal for yourself and say I'm going to
Speaker 2: do this every day and you get into a pattern,
Speaker 2: you get into a habit, whether it's not drinking or
Speaker 2: drinking less or exercising, and it's amazing how it sticks
Speaker 2: and how it does change your life for the better.
Speaker 2: So we've we've had a pretty awesome first part of
Speaker 2: the year with those You know, I was going to
Speaker 2: ask you.
Speaker 1: About this in this episode. You said, I think it
Speaker 1: was just yesterday.
Speaker 3: It was certainly this week, this weekend, past couple of
Speaker 3: days you said, you said, we're doing great, You.
Speaker 2: Said, we are doing You were were I can't remember
Speaker 2: what we're talking.
Speaker 3: About, but you were referencing like a couple of things
Speaker 3: that have happened, events have happened, where things have happened,
Speaker 3: like there was like a streak, a momentum.
Speaker 1: You were referring. What were you talking about? You remember
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2: Well, I just think, honestly, what I think you're referring
Speaker 2: to is once we had our fight, non fight, whatever
Speaker 2: it was, and we had to listen to that thing
Speaker 2: five times, get it up, see and hear the reaction
Speaker 2: to it, not just online but from friends and family.
Speaker 2: I really felt like I had a shift. I saw
Speaker 2: myself in a different way, I saw you in a
Speaker 2: different way, I saw us in a different way, and
Speaker 2: I felt intentional in a way I hadn't before. And
Speaker 2: so yes, you can. You can also attribute that to
Speaker 2: perhaps the goal setting that we did that I just mentioned,
Speaker 2: but but also just about us and how I wanted
Speaker 2: to react to you, react to my own emotions, check
Speaker 2: my ego, all of those things, and I really we've
Speaker 2: had a really beautiful stretch.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you said that just the other day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we didn't get a chance to expelse, not.
Speaker 2: To recognize the good times, because we all point out
Speaker 2: the bad times. But when you can say, hey, we're
Speaker 2: doing great, it's good to be able to say that
Speaker 2: to someone.
Speaker 3: That's one of the quotes I'm going to put up
Speaker 3: at some point, But you just reminded me of it.
Speaker 3: Don't let a bad day fool you into thinking you
Speaker 3: have a bad life. And right, we are so quick
Speaker 3: to jump on a bad moment, but man, what if
Speaker 3: we string together remember all those good moments, whether they don't,
Speaker 3: they should not be eliminated just because you had a
Speaker 3: bad day or a bad moment. So that was a
Speaker 3: great As great as we were talking about what we
Speaker 3: were doing, we thought it might all crumble because you
Speaker 3: and I have look for the past year, year and
Speaker 3: a half almost now, had to deal with some negative
Speaker 3: and awful headlines when it comes to I said, I
Speaker 3: was just say tabloids more than anything else. But we
Speaker 3: started about I don't know three four or five days ago.
Speaker 3: There was a little bit of a drumbeat of calls
Speaker 3: we were getting from reporters and inquiries to where most
Speaker 3: of the time, whatever, it's nothing don't need to respond to.
Speaker 3: But it was enough of them that we said, what's
Speaker 3: going on? So you usually say to me, can you
Speaker 3: can you do? Have you done Google Search lately? Is
Speaker 3: there anything happening? Because why am I getting reporters calling
Speaker 3: me and texting me? And we even had some folks
Speaker 3: in the iHeart team check in and say, hey, what's
Speaker 3: going on?
Speaker 2: We're getting phone calls.
Speaker 3: So no matter how great we are doing, we start
Speaker 3: to go, oh, no, oh, hell, what is it?
Speaker 1: And it felt like a bit of a headache.
Speaker 3: And there was one we finally, I think before the
Speaker 3: news ended up dropping one of the inquiries. We got
Speaker 3: made clear what the inquiry was about which they were trying,
Speaker 3: and they were calling us for comment regarding our former
Speaker 3: employer at A lot of people have seen maybe the news now
Speaker 3: from Disney ABC News as a reshuffling at the top
Speaker 3: when it comes to some of the executives. But they
Speaker 3: were calling us for our statement. Would you like to
Speaker 3: release our statement?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: Our statement is we wish everyone the best and we're
Speaker 2: actually really not paying attention. But thank you, no, thank you.
Speaker 2: I had no idea. Well, we don't know what we
Speaker 2: thought again, maybe oh we just thought it was about us.
Speaker 2: We were actually just grateful it wasn't about us. Thank God,
Speaker 2: it's about something or someone or some other entity. Please
Speaker 2: please refocus.
Speaker 3: But if folks haven't seen, yes there's a reshuffling, and
Speaker 3: we do want to look Deborah O'Connell, which if you've
Speaker 3: seen the news, is someone who's been there at Disney
Speaker 3: ABC for a long time, and she's someone we didn't
Speaker 3: get a chance to work closely with or frequently with, but.
Speaker 1: She was always a great, great supporter.
Speaker 2: She was wonderful.
Speaker 3: There's somebody we always wish we could work with more,
Speaker 3: and anytime we got with her, we appreciate it. So
Speaker 3: she's been elevated to to a new position and she's
Speaker 3: going to be overseeing a lot of things, including all
Speaker 3: of ABC News. But that was the news and they
Speaker 3: were trying to get our comment and.
Speaker 2: We were I was. I was actually so happy to
Speaker 2: see that she's been recognized because she has been just
Speaker 2: this awesome force and really didn't get any recognition for
Speaker 2: it beyond her role at WABC. But she has been
Speaker 2: I just want to point this out, a huge supporter
Speaker 2: of breast cancer research and she has been an advocate
Speaker 2: for the cause and she and I have had many
Speaker 2: wonderful conversations about that, but she's just a wonderful woman
Speaker 2: all together. So we're very happy for her, and it
Speaker 2: was lovely to be able to see that that was
Speaker 2: the good news that was being released. And then of
Speaker 2: course they're always trying to stir the pod a little,
Speaker 2: so they want to they want to see what we
Speaker 2: or if we would have had any comment about what
Speaker 2: that might mean for the current ABC News presidence.
Speaker 1: Lookl we are we don't pay attention. That's fair to say.
Speaker 3: We have friends and whatnot that we have who are
Speaker 3: still work there, but every time we see them and
Speaker 3: talk to them, when I.
Speaker 2: Say, hey, what's going on over that, we don't at all.
Speaker 2: We actually don't talk about it at all all. It's
Speaker 2: just yeah, no, we don't do that. So we we
Speaker 2: didn't know.
Speaker 1: But as far as well, Kim God, if you.
Speaker 3: Work in this building or this building, this instry long enough,
Speaker 3: which we both have, can you count the number of networks.
Speaker 2: She's lasted quite a while and she's still she was
Speaker 2: just renewed, so she's going to be there for the
Speaker 2: next four years. But oh my goodness, my first job
Speaker 2: alone w CBDTV two Action News.
Speaker 4: I had four news directors in four years. That's just
Speaker 4: the way it goes the business, and certainly at these levels.
Speaker 4: But they were calling a lot of people calling for
Speaker 4: us thinking, you know what. Quite frankly, I think there
Speaker 4: were some who were wondering if we were going to
Speaker 4: take advantage or think that we would take an opportunity
Speaker 4: to in some way bash Kim Godwin. No, not in
Speaker 4: the least bit. In fact, as I sit here, we
Speaker 4: sit here, I will raise my hand and tell you
Speaker 4: then when she was first hired, not only did I
Speaker 4: advocate for her, after she got there, there was a
Speaker 4: group of us black talented ABC that got together and
Speaker 4: pushed and pleaded for more diverse executive leadership at that network.
Speaker 4: So there are a lot of reasons. It doesn't even
Speaker 4: have to be. There's nothing personal but me. We need,
Speaker 4: I think you we all need. It's so rare for
Speaker 4: a woman, it's so rare for a woman of color
Speaker 4: to be in a position like that, Like we all
Speaker 4: for the industry need her to do well and would
Speaker 4: like for her to do well because that makes it
Speaker 4: easier for other women that are coming up behind her.
Speaker 4: And we have no ill will, and there's a lot
Speaker 4: of things about the situation over there that we are
Speaker 4: actually from Afar and as people who have been in
Speaker 4: the industry a long time.
Speaker 1: Still root for and advocate for and can be good.
Speaker 1: So we got nothing back.
Speaker 2: We are rooting for both Kim and Deborah. And as
Speaker 2: you say, it is lovely to see women in positions
Speaker 2: of hour and leadership. When I first got to ABC News,
Speaker 2: now what is it thirteen years ago, there wasn't a
Speaker 2: woman to be seen. And now from executive producers to
Speaker 2: news presidents to elevated positions, we're seeing women everywhere. That's amazing,
Speaker 2: that's great.
Speaker 1: So that's our statement.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's our statement. Were congratulations everyone to everybody since
Speaker 2: last Oh my god, we talked about it.
Speaker 3: I don't think we've had a chance to talk about
Speaker 3: your birthday. No, we was February sixth. That was a
Speaker 3: fun day, Yes it was.
Speaker 2: It was very fun.
Speaker 3: It was a very fun day. But then the night,
Speaker 3: the day after and the trip after was probably more fun.
Speaker 3: But we had to have a great dinner. Ol frienda
Speaker 3: right Mexican friend.
Speaker 2: Yes, is that West Village? Yes, West Village, Jessua.
Speaker 3: We had the birthday dinner six of us, the closest,
Speaker 3: nearest and DearS, and that was a really, really fun night.
Speaker 3: But we had to hop on a plane the next
Speaker 3: day and go to a place that we both love.
Speaker 3: But this is the first time we got to go
Speaker 3: as a couple.
Speaker 2: As a couple, Yes, we went. I think it was
Speaker 2: June of twenty twenty two. We were in and out
Speaker 2: quickly for our show. We did a live show there,
Speaker 2: and so we were like, this is such a cool
Speaker 2: city and one day we should come back, not realizing
Speaker 2: that we would be able to come back.
Speaker 3: Actually as a colle you say it that way to
Speaker 3: think about it now, right, Wow, we enjoying this flight,
Speaker 3: having such a good time, all is going on. We
Speaker 3: did not think for a second, wow, we should come
Speaker 3: back here as a couple. We didn't think that was
Speaker 3: that wasn't on the table.
Speaker 2: But when you asked me where I'd like to go,
Speaker 2: we only had a couple of days and needed to
Speaker 2: keep it, you know, fairly close. But I wanted it
Speaker 2: to be warm and fun, and so I thought where
Speaker 2: better to go than New Orleans. And what we didn't
Speaker 2: realize is that it was the weekend before Marti Gras
Speaker 2: and I've never been for Marti Gras ever, and we
Speaker 2: still I guess technically did not make it to Fat Tuesday,
Speaker 2: but we were there for the weekend before and it
Speaker 2: was enough and it was a black It was a blast.
Speaker 2: I learned a couple of things there. First of all,
Speaker 2: beads are thrown without shirts being lifted. I always thought
Speaker 2: that that was the thing, and it was. It isn't
Speaker 2: It was really cute and fun to see people. Well,
Speaker 2: some people wore t shirts that showed like it looked
Speaker 2: like they had right, that was how they got around it.
Speaker 2: But it was fun and festive and they're already the
Speaker 2: parades were starting and it was it was warm, and
Speaker 2: it was lovely and we had a blast and people
Speaker 2: were so kind there. We loved did all of our
Speaker 2: waitresses who were females, did all of them refer to
Speaker 2: us as baby baby? And you cannot do that anywhere
Speaker 2: else but in New Orleans, And we loved it. I
Speaker 2: was soaking it up. I missed that.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's unique to this country. I think I
Speaker 1: don't go anywhere where it's just everybody does that.
Speaker 2: It's just that Southern charm, hospitality, but it feels real.
Speaker 2: It feels authentic. They're not just saying it to get
Speaker 2: a tip. They're not just saying it because they want to,
Speaker 2: you know, playcate you they they really genuinely are just
Speaker 2: sweet and kind and they love to call everyone babies.
Speaker 2: It's great. You know what else I learned?
Speaker 1: Listen?
Speaker 2: Then I'm officially old. And I say this not because
Speaker 2: of the age I am. That's obvious, but I'm somebody
Speaker 2: I feel like who's always been able to stay out
Speaker 2: all night, last person on the dance floor, never want
Speaker 2: to go to bed. Sleep is for when you're dead.
Speaker 2: Like that was always the way I lived. Every night.
Speaker 2: We were there for three nights. Every night we were
Speaker 2: in bed and I would say, asleep by ten thirty.
Speaker 2: And the great thing about that, and this is again
Speaker 2: I sound so old, is that we were able to
Speaker 2: continue to get up early and we were out for
Speaker 2: runs at six am. And where did we run? Bourbon
Speaker 2: Bourbon Street? And what was that?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Gross? Absolutely gross?
Speaker 3: Do not ever go to Bourbon Street at six am
Speaker 3: sober when you're going to be breathing heavily, right, if
Speaker 3: you're going to taking in a lot of sense, you
Speaker 3: don't want to go down man.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. But it was Yes, it smelled, but
Speaker 2: it was amazing to witness because a people were still
Speaker 2: coming out of bars at six am. I didn't know
Speaker 2: that they stayed open in twenty four hours, but there
Speaker 2: are several who did and do and that was wow.
Speaker 2: Who needs music or any kind of distraction when you're
Speaker 2: running down Bourbon Street and watching people coming out and
Speaker 2: walking down the streets from the night before that you
Speaker 2: went to bed at ten thirty, You're rested, you're ready
Speaker 2: for the day. It was amazing.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: I have to well, I take issue with the old thing.
Speaker 3: Okay uh one, and no guy wants to hear his
Speaker 3: girlfriend say out loud.
Speaker 2: I am officially old. Anything else maybe.
Speaker 3: No, But you got to qualify this a little bit.
Speaker 3: We were sleep early because I was up at three
Speaker 3: am every day. That's true because we're time zone off.
Speaker 3: I wake up at four and my body clock I
Speaker 3: was still boom three am. Your TV's on and you're like,
Speaker 3: what the hell is going on? So we were up
Speaker 3: early and yes, running by six am, partying by seven am.
Speaker 1: You did really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: That you give yourself more credit.
Speaker 2: Were you amazed by the trash collection process? And the
Speaker 2: street cleaning process. I could they were on it. I
Speaker 2: mean the smells, yes, was them clearing it. But if
Speaker 2: you had just I mean, if we were like normal
Speaker 2: people and woke up at nine or ten, it would
Speaker 2: have been pristine and like perfect, you would never have
Speaker 2: known there was the unbelievable amount of trash that was
Speaker 2: on that street when we were running.
Speaker 1: But that was that was.
Speaker 3: A really good fun trip, good people we got to see.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine the debut. I mean we got that
Speaker 3: was the pre party, so I can imagine the party.
Speaker 3: But that was a really really fun trip that we
Speaker 3: hadn't believe. But we came back and we had to
Speaker 3: come back, and we scheduled to come back because particularly
Speaker 3: because we had the super Bowl that was coming out,
Speaker 3: we got to have a super Bowl party here.
Speaker 2: How many people total? Well, ten I think ten people,
Speaker 2: two dudes, right dudes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, ten people, two dudes. Five teenagers yes, one to
Speaker 1: eleven year old.
Speaker 2: Yep, so a tween and then an adult an adult female?
Speaker 2: What my friend Nikki, Oh, so there's just one other
Speaker 2: adult follow what you were saying. He just calls yourself
Speaker 2: old and you send an adult female, Like, what are
Speaker 2: we talking about it, become a New York City police officers.
Speaker 2: Soon an adult female was seen, So yeah, you were
Speaker 2: surrounded by women.
Speaker 3: It was, but it was fun to see Alas and
Speaker 3: her friends get into a football game for the sport.
Speaker 3: They weren't watching because they wanted to see Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3: They weren't watching. They watched the halftime Showan liked it,
Speaker 3: but they got into the competition.
Speaker 2: It was just fun.
Speaker 1: I love Super Bowl, you know, I love cooking and
Speaker 1: love the whole that type of thing. So that was
Speaker 1: really really fun. And then after that we had to
Speaker 1: get to Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was. It's been busy, been busy.
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day.
Speaker 2: Valentine's Day. What's your what's your general feeling about it?
Speaker 2: I love Valentine's Day. I love a day. Yes, I
Speaker 2: know it's a hallmark holiday. People say they're manufactured, but
Speaker 2: you know what, I can't think of a better reason
Speaker 2: to manufacture a holiday than to celebrate love. So and
Speaker 2: I think it's not just about romantic love. It's about
Speaker 2: you know, parental love, it's about platonic love. It's about love.
Speaker 2: And so I had always the girls knew this. I
Speaker 2: sent a care package to av Ava in Germany, and
Speaker 2: the girls both know that Valentine's Day is actually like
Speaker 2: the big day. I always shower them with cards and
Speaker 2: love and we usually do something or go somewhere. I
Speaker 2: threw some money in her account to go have a
Speaker 2: fun night. But I always try to show them a
Speaker 2: little something extra on that day because it is a
Speaker 2: day about love. And look, it's not just about having
Speaker 2: a boyfriend or a girlfriend or a significant other. And
Speaker 2: I think some people get sad, and that's why they
Speaker 2: have Gallantine's Day. But you know, even Ellen what Gallentine's Day.
Speaker 2: It's for girls. Sabine knows about it. Gallantine's Day, You've
Speaker 2: never heard of that. No, so girls get together and
Speaker 2: go out and have fun and celebrate their love for
Speaker 2: each other and say, who needs boys?
Speaker 1: What was the guy equivalent of that?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Gullantine's Day? That is not a thing.
Speaker 2: I don't know. But maybe y'all should like Paline. I
Speaker 2: love that you should coin that phraise that. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: already a thing. I don't know. I've never heard of it,
Speaker 2: never heard of it. Do you like Valentine's Day? Yes?
Speaker 2: I wish I was able to I don't. When you
Speaker 2: make a great point about it.
Speaker 3: I send flowers to Sabine. I send flowers to Brianna,
Speaker 3: my oldest right. The girls need to make sure that
Speaker 3: they're that Daddy is to make sure he's the number
Speaker 3: one guy who for now, there shouldn't be anybody else.
Speaker 3: Ca Sabine, who's sending you flowers for now on Valentine Day?
Speaker 3: Skip the for now things she's saying for the rest
Speaker 3: of your life me all right. So, and that's why
Speaker 3: it's really sweet. But it also feels forced. A lot
Speaker 3: of times, it feels like, well, I'm going to get
Speaker 3: something because I have to, and there's this mad rush
Speaker 3: that's sometimes funny and cute. We talked about like seeing
Speaker 3: some of the guys walking on the Stream fourteenth with balloons.
Speaker 2: And it was hilarious. It was hilarious, dute.
Speaker 3: It's fun, but you do you kind of get into
Speaker 3: it and you don't have to go get some extravagant
Speaker 3: piece of jewelry, just a little box of those little
Speaker 3: heart what do you call those little hearts exile hearts?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the hearts with the messages on them.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't remember love candy hell you're
Speaker 2: eleven year old just called it love candy New York
Speaker 2: City Public Schools. I swear.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so in that way it does. It's sweet, it's fun,
Speaker 2: it's cute.
Speaker 3: But when it starts to feel obligatory, when it starts
Speaker 3: in an office setting, to where you don't want to
Speaker 3: be the woman who doesn't have flowers.
Speaker 2: That has happened to me before.
Speaker 3: You don't want to be the guy whose woman at
Speaker 3: work doesn't that than feels.
Speaker 2: That's when it gets tough, when it's competitive and not
Speaker 2: even like it's just by nature, because you see everyone
Speaker 2: else at the office giving the flowers and all of
Speaker 2: a sudden years don't show up. Yes, I have been
Speaker 2: in that situation, and I know intellectually it's not a
Speaker 2: big deal, but it's still feels it feels like a
Speaker 2: slight Yes, yes, yes, yes, I bet you. There are
Speaker 2: some fights on Valentine's Day because it's the guy didn't
Speaker 2: get it right, you know, And it does feel like
Speaker 2: it falls on the man didn't get it right or
Speaker 2: didn't get it at all. It could be both. Either
Speaker 2: one is what's getting it right just showing having a
Speaker 2: gesture and and you know, if you work in an office, yes,
Speaker 2: send it to the office. That is probably what you
Speaker 2: should do.
Speaker 3: So you're making my point if you're doing it just
Speaker 3: for show and not because you're making a genuine, loving gesture,
Speaker 3: which there are three hundred and sixty four other days
Speaker 3: of the year. What is it you do on those days?
Speaker 3: Is the question that we should all ask ourselves.
Speaker 2: Are Yeah, I hear you, but it still is. It
Speaker 2: feels really good to get flowers.
Speaker 1: It does, just I would have sent them to the office, baby,
Speaker 1: but you're looking at the office and.
Speaker 2: Just you know, TJ did get me some beautiful flowers.
Speaker 2: So they were really really nice.
Speaker 1: Thank god, I did after hearing this.
Speaker 2: But I didn't expect it. I didn't. I was trying
Speaker 2: to remember last year where were well we were in Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so you were Yeah, you didn't have to get me flowers.
Speaker 2: We were on a plane. We we we were on
Speaker 2: a plane and we got it. We didn't know. We
Speaker 2: got each other cards and you got me some of
Speaker 2: those candy hearts? Did I really that you did? And
Speaker 2: I don't know the name of it's funny, but you did.
Speaker 2: Can you give very quick? I'm really wondering what do
Speaker 2: you call those things? If something is slipping our minds?
Speaker 1: What do you call that?
Speaker 2: I want to call them sweet teart hearts, but they're not. Wow,
Speaker 2: that was really funny. Apparently Okay I wasn't the only
Speaker 2: one laughing sweet tart hearts like b mine and like
Speaker 2: cue since were but what is the day?
Speaker 3: This is something I will recommend always, always, always send
Speaker 3: the flowers on.
Speaker 2: The day before. Yes, that's what you did. They call
Speaker 2: what sweethearts? Okay, just close, I said sweetheart heart?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: But sweethearts?
Speaker 1: Sweethearts?
Speaker 2: Sweethearts? That makes sense? Obvious was obvious? How do we
Speaker 2: miss that? I don't know. Maybe we're not going to repeat.
Speaker 1: You need to clear your browser history.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know what you're doing to me. Stop
Speaker 2: googling whatever you're googling.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, But yes, I do that because everybody's
Speaker 3: getting flowers on February fourteen, So you do it the
Speaker 3: day before, so you're.
Speaker 1: They're backed up and how late?
Speaker 3: How long is it going to you want somebody to
Speaker 3: be able to wake up and enjoy them on the
Speaker 3: day and have them the whole day, because some of
Speaker 3: those deliveries don't come into that, So you got to
Speaker 3: have a mad spouse the whole day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not good. They're good cinema. I just told
Speaker 2: everyone your secret. It's probably gonna backfire.
Speaker 1: I'm going to switch to the fourteenth sext.
Speaker 3: But yes, it has been a great stretch, a great run,
Speaker 3: I feel, I mean, I hope maybe even people can
Speaker 3: hear it in our voices right now. It's just I
Speaker 3: don't know, I really really don't know, and I hate
Speaker 3: for it to be a matter of lining up victories like, Okay,
Speaker 3: this worked out, this worked out, So now I'm happy
Speaker 3: because these things worked out, right, It's a matter of
Speaker 3: sometime getting in a good health space, health or head
Speaker 3: and health space to where no matter what comes at you,
Speaker 3: you can handle it, you can deal with it, you
Speaker 3: could take it. And it does make a differen sweetheart,
Speaker 3: knowing that I have you as a partner, knowing you
Speaker 3: are there, there is a relief when we are good
Speaker 3: and vibing and whatever comes can come and we're okay.
Speaker 3: So I agreed with you, and I was just curious,
Speaker 3: and what did you do to tell me what you're sorrying?
Speaker 2: Well, I just think it's important to recognize those moments
Speaker 2: because we're all so quick to point out what we
Speaker 2: don't like about, you know, each other. I just think
Speaker 2: that's just something that becomes habitual. So if you can
Speaker 2: try to make a habit of doing the opposite, like
Speaker 2: I really appreciate you know these last few weeks, and
Speaker 2: I really have had a blast with you and just
Speaker 2: just even verbalizing it and acknowledging it makes a huge difference.
Speaker 2: I really think it does.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: So we have speaking of some of the things going on,
Speaker 3: and we're excited about and things going well. There's something
Speaker 3: I will we can't tell you much now, but there
Speaker 3: is something we are putting together and planning that will
Speaker 3: happen in the coming weeks we hope yes, in which
Speaker 3: folks will be able to potentially come out and see us,
Speaker 3: mingle with us, and even be in the audience if
Speaker 3: you will.
Speaker 1: As we're recording a pot guess.
Speaker 3: That is the We're working on that, but we're very
Speaker 3: close and very excited to potentially make that announcement coming
Speaker 3: up soon. We're making announcements to a lot of people,
Speaker 3: and the room can hold like fifty rights.
Speaker 2: It's a pre announcement of uh yeah, I don't know well,
Speaker 2: it's about a month from now and it is going
Speaker 2: to be here in New York. But if it goes well,
Speaker 2: we'll see if maybe we can get beyond New York.
Speaker 2: We don't want to set our sites too high, feel
Speaker 2: the expectations low.
Speaker 3: They're going to be announcement about an event you can't
Speaker 3: get into it coming soon.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what I think.
Speaker 2: We can announce though, something we're doing later in the
Speaker 2: week that everyone will be able to listen to.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, we have some watching to do.
Speaker 2: We have some homework today.

Speaker 2: we're gonna need to switch to vander Pump Rules because
Speaker 2: we have a guest. So we're not gonna say who

Speaker 2: start talking about it, they get elevated, they get excited.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh my gosh. So yes, we're gonna get
Speaker 2: caught up and you're gonna get the inside scoop.
Speaker 3: And I keep screwing it up. How much how much
Speaker 3: catching aure we have to do? I didn't even want
Speaker 3: to say it here, calling.
Speaker 2: It vander Plump and I'm like, absolutely, that is not
Speaker 2: the name. Also, is the name of a rose now,
Speaker 2: so that's yeah, she has a rose.
