Speaker 1: Hello Abby, Hello, we are warm and we are safe.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: After winter Storm Fern has attacked so many of the

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: states in the country, but we are here. That is wild.

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 3: And I didn't know that it was called winter storm Fern.

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: You know. Fun fact. Yes, Fern is my great grandmother's name.

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 3: It is.

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: Yes.

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 2: So when I saw Ferne.

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, Grandma Fern, what you doing up there?

13
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 3: You're like, why are you doing that? Yeah?

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: And she was a firecracker, so, you know, honestly makes sense.

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: That's cute. Oh my god, Fern.

16
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, So talk to me about your winter storm experience.

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: What happened for you over the past week. What's been

18
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: going on?

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. Okay. So I left last Friday after

20
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: the show to go to Denver Broncos game. So it

21
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 3: was kind of good time. It was kind of good

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: timing for me because like the weather was it was

23
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 3: cold there, but like it wasn't crazy.

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: Well, no, in Colorado, they know how to handle all this.

25
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: This is what they get all the time. Exactly. Yeah, yeah,

26
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: that's no cold eyes. They're prepared for it.

27
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: You know what's crazy, though, is I was talking to

28
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 3: somebody and they said a lot of people there are transplants,

29
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: so they don't know how to drive on the roads.

30
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: But this is the that's true. The drivers, I'm not

31
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: worried about. But the infrastructure of the city is equipped

32
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: to handle stuff like that.

33
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Okay, So I left. I got there Friday evening.

34
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: We went out to eat, everything was good. We went

35
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: to bed early because I knew it was going to

36
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: be a crazy weekend. Then the next day we slept in.

37
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 3: It was Saturday, and I was like, I want to

38
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: kind of explore a little bit, and so we went

39
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 3: to Red Rocks.

40
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: Wait, have you ever been to Denver before?

41
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: I have, Yeah, yeah, but it was like it was

42
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: pretty brief, and I was like, super young. I've been

43
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: like on the outskirts kind of Denver, like Greeley. That's

44
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: where my grandma lives. But I had been one time

45
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: to visit my friend. She lives in Golden and so

46
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: I got to go see Red Rocks. Like I took

47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 3: her car and that's that's about it. So I've seen

48
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: Red Rocks during the day. Still haven't been to a

49
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: concert that's on my bucket list. Have you been?

50
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: No, but it's on my bucket list to go to

51
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: a concert there too.

52
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I cannot wait. Yeah, we might need

53
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: to figure that we work in this industry shortly. There's

54
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: someone we could go see at Red Rocks on a weekend.

55
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: And yeah, they're announcing like new dates, so I yeah,

56
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: I need to look.

57
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: If you see the one you like, we should do that.

58
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: That'd be so fun because that'd be a.

59
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: Fun trip for us to go take together and we

60
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: could find ways to get there and make it all happen.

61
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it is so cool there, Like there

62
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: was it was too freezing that when we went to

63
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: see it, but we went in like the Trading Post

64
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: is kind of like a store next to it, which

65
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: is really cute. And then after that we went to

66
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: Laramer Square, which is kind of like downtown and that's

67
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: where they have all the Broncos jerseys like hanging, and

68
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 3: there was like a block party happening with like a DJ,

69
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: and like the cheerleaders were there in the mascot.

70
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: Okay, what city is Mile High Stadium in it's in Denver.

71
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: It is in Denver.

72
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: Yes, it's like right downtown Oka, Denver. Basically, Okay, I'm

73
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 3: probably wrong, but like it's very like tall buildings and

74
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 3: we went down she said us downtown.

75
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: I've never been. I've never been to the stadium.

76
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: I've been to Denver a bunch, but honestly, I know

77
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: that those stadiums can be in all kinds of cities.

78
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: So that's why I didn't know if it was downtown

79
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: Denver or if you like outskirts or where you were at.

80
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like downtown and they're actually building a

81
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: new one right now. O. They're like in the process

82
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: they found land that I think they're gonna start building

83
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: the stadium on. But so we went to that square

84
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 3: and there was like that dance party and it was freezing,

85
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: like so we just went to dance party. I mean,

86
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: oh yeah, dance party, block party. Yeah, people were dancing.

87
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: The mascot was there. We got our picture with him,

88
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: and then we went into a bar to get a

89
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: drink because it was so cold, and we like parked

90
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 3: far away and we were walking, but we were like,

91
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: we have to get used to it because the game

92
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: is Sunday and it's gonna be even more freezing, so

93
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: we're like, we can handle this. And then we went

94
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 3: to Corey Kent at Grizzly Rose, which is a really

95
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 3: cool venue.

96
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: I saw that.

97
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: I saw that, and I have heard great things about

98
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: Grizzly Rose.

99
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

100
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: I also love Corey Kent as he was so good.

101
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: I've seen him before, but this time I was like,

102
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, and people were like into it. It

103
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: was really fun.

104
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: Arzly Rose is a really cool venue to see an

105
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: artist at.

106
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: It is like, I want to go back. It's they

107
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:18,400

108
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: like a mechanical bowl, and then like a photo booth.

109
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: What else do they have? Dance floor? People were two stepping.

110
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: It was awesome. I was like, we need that in Nashville.

111
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't have our own Grizzly Rose. Grizzly Rose

112
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: is very popular. It's one of those not stadiums. It's

113
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: one of those venues I think a lot of artists

114
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: love to play at. It's one of those top tier ones.

115
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: Oh my god. It's so cool. And it's funny because

116
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: a friend I went with she got married there. She

117
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,080

Speaker 3: like the nicest guy ever, Like he's so hands on,

119
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 3: like he cares about his bar. And then they presented

120
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 3: Corey Kent with like a silver buckle like belt buckle

121
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: because he sold it out. Oh they do that when

122
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: artists sell it out. And I was like that is

123
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: this is so co cool?

124
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: So there was the Latter Music weekend. Yes, yeah, the broncos.

00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: might as well just like do everything I can.

Speaker 1: As you should.

128
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: Yes, And so we got home late and then we

129
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: got up early. Well it was like seven thirty to

130
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 3: get up and start like preparing for the day.

131
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 2: Because what time was the game at?

132
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: The game was at one, okay there, but the tailgate

133
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: started at ten and we had to be there by

134
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: like nine forty five and it took us a long time.

135
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: Was this a tailgate of somebody you guys knew or

136
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: was it a tailgate of the friend who knows the coach?

137
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: It was so we got the tickets through the coach

138
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: and then we got the tailgate through one of her friends.

139
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 3: They were kind of separate, but it was like a

140
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: nice tilgate like people paid I think, like two hundred

141
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: dollars to get in and it was like unlimited drinks

142
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: and food. Like I would I mean, if I was

143
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: a Broncos fan living in Denver, I would pay for

144
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: that because it was really cool. They had like an

145
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: auction in there, a whole bunch of food. Some of

146
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: the players like showed up from like past teams. I

147
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: think they were both in the superwl one of them

148
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl. Both of the guys.

149
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: Okay, that's at one point when the Bronco was played

150
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl.

151
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: They were they were in it, and I don't remember

152
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: their names, but I got a picture of them signing autographs.

153
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: I didn't want to wait in the line because I

154
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: was so cold. And then there was like a silent auction,

155
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 3: like I said, music going. So that was really fun.

156
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Oh that's so fun.

157
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 3: Drink I started drinking.

158
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: That's like you know how they call if you don't

159
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: go regular camping, you go glamping. Yes, that's exactly the

160
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: lamping version of tailgate. I know.

161
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: So I really didn't get to see like the parking lot,

162
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: like actual tailgating, because I kind of wanted to see

163
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: that because I heard it's like really crazy. But I

164
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: was kind of along for the ride, you know, like

165
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: I was with them so well.

166
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: And again, you're not going to have that experience normally.

167
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: You can always have the parking lot tailgate experience when

168
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: you go back. This particular experience, is it always gonna happen?

169
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. It was like it was so crazy.

170
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: I was like, how am I getting the VIP treatment

171
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: right now? And really cool? And so we started. I

172
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 3: mean I had five layers on, so I had three pants.

173
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 3: I had like the fleece laggings sweatpants, and then I

174
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: got ski suit, which I had already bought because I

175
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 3: was like, oh, this will be good. It's really cute.

176
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: It'll be good for like skiing or you know, when

177
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: it snows. And it ended up like matching the Broncos color.

178
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: So I was like, I'm wearing this.

179
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: It was perfect. I loved your outfit.

180
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then we got Cayenne pepper and four do that?

181
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: Hey? I talked about this part did you did? But

182
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't work?

183
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: I chat shebted it right before we left the hotel

184
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: and it said you could get like burns on your

185
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: feet or blisters, and I was like, oh, my gosh,

186
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: I don't want like sore feet, Like what if we

187
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: don't want to burn our skin? Yeah, and then have

188
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: to walk all day. I was like, I know the

189
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: football players did it with their football players, and they're

190
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: like tough and they'll do anything, but.

191
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: Likes, I say, the football players are not talking about

192
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: the blisters and h on this seat now, And so

193
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: I was like, no, let's not try that.

194
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: But then we got foil because if we saw that

195
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: on a video where you put a sock on and

196
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: then you wrap your toes in aluminum foil and then

197
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 3: you put another sock on. And I tried that, and

198
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: like halfway through the game, we took the sock off

199
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: and it was just in pieces the foil, the aluminum foil. Yes,

200
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 3: it like it just shredded from us walking. So that

201
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: obviously wasn't working. It wasn't keeping the heat in. Supposedly

202
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: it's supposed to like keep your heat in.

203
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: I understand the keeping the heat in, but maybe it's

204
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: not meant for like if you're doing out activities, you're

205
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: just supposed to lay there.

206
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess, oh my gosh, you know it was crazy.

207
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 3: We went to Target and they had foil in the

208
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: lock boxes. You had to go get an employee with

209
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: a key. Why people are stealing foil, I don't know.

210
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: I wonder if there is something with extreme cold weather

211
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: and something with that, but I had that's an interesting Okay,

212
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: let me while you keep talking about your story, let

213
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: me google some.

214
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 3: Situation. So that's what I did with my feet. I

215
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: had snow boots on, and then my hands. I have

216
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: like handwarmers, like electric han warmers that I actually use

217
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: at work, right and I both use them because it's

218
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: always freezing here. And I took them and that was

219
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: like the saving that that did everything, because they get

220
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: so hot they like burn your hands, and so I

221
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: just put them in my pockets and I just have

222
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 3: my hands on my pockets the whole time, and it

223
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 3: like worked. It was warm. Yes.

224
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: Did you guys also do a trick of cardboard where

225
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: you stood on cardboard for some of the game?

226
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: Uh huh. We took in a cardboard box like folded

227
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 3: up and we stood on it and our feet were

228
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: fine the whole time. I was standing by a girl

229
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: next to me. I finally was like, oh my gosh,

230
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: come on the cardboard because she just had regular like

231
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: cute boots on no, and I was like, what are

232
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 3: you doing? Because she was like, I know, I almost

233
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: wore like snow boots, but I changed last minute because

234
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: she looked super cute. She had like on cute jeans

235
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 3: and I was like, you have to be freezing.

236
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: Oh heck no.

237
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: And one of those situations. Listen, I love I love

238
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 2: looking cute.

239
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm all for an outfit for a reason, yes, but

240
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: in that situation, I am over practical. Oh like practical

241
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: and comfort over cute. I do not care. I will

242
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 1: look like a michelin man. Yes, if it means me

243
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: being warm.

244
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 3: That's how I looked and felt. I was like, I

245
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: am not attractive right now, but hey, I'm warm.

246
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: That's all I got. Okay. I did look up fitinyl

247
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: use prompts downtown Target to lock up in aluminum foil,

248
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: so I think shoplifting is another reason. For some reasons

249
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 1: people are shoplifting the aluminum foil. I'm wondering if it's

250
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: connected also again to drug use. Oh my gosh, no,

251
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: it's yeah.

252
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 3: That okay. I was like, there has some reasons.

253
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: It's also five dollars. Well, Anna says thieves use aluminum

254
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: foil to create booster bags, which are shopping bags or

255
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: purses lined with foil. So it seems like a few

256
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: different things.

257
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: Okay, so Foyle is being used and that is crazy.

258
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it.

259
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you see your ilumin foil locked up, that

260
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: would be why.

261
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 3: I mean here it is. Yeah, it's like downtown. The

262
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: target is literally it's one of those like downtown ones.

263
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean there's probably just people coming in

264
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: all the time. I don't know.

265
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: Okay, So cardboard, you made a friend with the girl

266
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: who definitely dressed cold over over comfort hm. And were

267
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: you so happy to be there experiencing it? Were you

268
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: ready for it to be over because you were cold?

269
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: What were all the feelings?

270
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 3: No, I loved every minute of it. I was just

271
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: trying to like take it all in. So I was

272
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: like this, I'm never gonna have these seats again. We

273
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: were like tenth row and I got to see the goal.

274
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: We were kind of like on the end zone on

275
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: the side, so you'd like see one of the touchdowns

276
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: at the beginning, and I was like, this is awesome,

277
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, we're doing great so far. And then it,

278
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: I mean it went took a turn or we went downhill,

279
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: because they did start out really good, and then we

280
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: didn't kick that field goal. It was kind of a

281
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: bummerku then we would have been tied ultimately, but well,

282
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: Annie snow was playing such a huge role too. I mean,

283
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 3: you guys see anything if you're sitting in those seats,

284
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: did you see stuff when the snow was hitting or

285
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: could you even like so we could see it was

286
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 3: hard to see the football, and then you couldn't see

287
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 3: the lines on the field. It was crazy because the

288
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: first half it was sunny and I was like, I

289
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 3: am so prepared, I'm so warm, like I am gonna

290
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 3: be comfortable the whole game. And then we went to

291
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: the bathroom after halftime, came back out, it started snowing,

292
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: and it was just like, I mean, it was like

293
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 3: a snow globe. Seriously, like you're in there, just snowfalling.

294
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 3: Everybody loved it, like they were just embracing the snow,

295
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 3: like they're like, this is so cool.

296
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what. I know. We talk a little

297
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: bit in part two about like your top five moments,

298
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: and I asked you about your brother, because your brother

299
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: is a big reason of why you're a Broncos fan.

300
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: I think your brother was looking out for the weather

301
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: because I think he wanted you to have both experiences

302
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: where it was like full clear day, you can't see

303
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: what's happening, you're cold. But then also everybody talks about

304
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: the experiences of when you're in a weather situation at

305
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: a game or a concert, whether it's pouring down rain

306
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: or snow, and I would imagine Mile High Stadium being

307
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: drenched in snow is an experience in itself.

308
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I got goosebounds and you said that that's

309
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: that is crazy.

310
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: I feel like it that way to give you both

311
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: and not just five minutes of clear to then have this.

312
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: You had a first half that was bright, you were good,

313
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: you were warm, surviving, and then second half to get

314
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: to experience the snow fall in Mile High Stadium.

315
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, oh my god. Like he would have loved

316
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 3: He was a huge, like the biggest Broncos fan ever.

317
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 3: He would have like loved this so much. So I

318
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: kind of felt like I was like living like I

319
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: don't know for him, like being like, oh my gosh,

320
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: I wish we could have done this together. But yeah,

321
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: it was.

322
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: It was so cool. You were channeling him, trying to

323
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: make sure you experienced everything.

324
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, take it all in.

325
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: Was happy about it despite the weather.

326
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was cool because there were no like

327
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 3: annoying fans, like sometimes that can like ruin a game,

328
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: you know, Like I've been to one where someone was

329
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 3: like cussing me out in Nashville. It a Titans game

330
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: because I was the other team and I'm just like

331
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 3: I'm not doing anything. So there were Broncos fans behind me,

332
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: and then there were a few Patriots fans in front

333
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 3: of me, and that they were like nice. So I

334
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: was like it was fine, Like everybody was good vibes

335
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: and I was like it was like that the whole time,

336
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 3: which I really liked that.

337
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Thatwas should be. Yeah, that's that should be at concerts,

338
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: as should be how it is at games. Everybody's going

339
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: out and spent harder money to be in a place

340
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: like that, and it's supposed to be an experien regardless

341
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: of what happens, you know, regardless of the outcome, You're

342
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: supposed to have a good time. That's the point, huh, that's.

343
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 2: You know how you see those videos on social media.

344
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: I forgot the point or whatever.

345
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: That's the point.

346
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 3: The point is to.

347
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: Live and experience and enjoy the experience.

348
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: I know, And I actually like eyes behind me. They

349
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 3: were like so positive because I was getting so nervous.

350
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: I was like, we're gonna lose. We're gonna lose this game.

351
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: And they're like, you got this. We still can do this,

352
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: and I was like, thank you. Guys. Usually it's like

353
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 3: the other way around, where like they're like negative and

354
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: they're like, oh, you suck or I don't know whatever.

355
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: And I know that's part of sporting events. Yeah, that's

356
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: the whole you know, vibes or whatever. Yeah, but it's

357
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: also like, dang, you're at a cool NFL game and

358
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: it was a championship game and there's so many things

359
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: riding on it and there's snowfalling.

360
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: This is cool. It was wild. They were like blowing

361
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: off the snow with like like blowers, like leaf flowers

362
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: basically snowblowers.

363
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: Snowblowers.

364
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and people are like I saw them commenting. They're like,

365
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 3: why don't you use a shovel? And I'm like, that's

366
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 3: so much faster what they were doing. It was actually working.

367
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: Everybody's an expert somewhere, Okay, I'm glad you had so

368
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: much fun.

369
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: No, it was so fun. And then at the very end,

370
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: like a minute and a half, everybody started leaving, like

371
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: funneling out, like all the Broncos fans. And then we're

372
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: like stuck in the parking lot for thirty minutes. Meanwhile,

373
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: my flight leaves in like two hours.

374
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: Oh gosh. And I was like, I'm assuming you were

375
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: going straight from the game to the airport.

376
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 3: Yes, well, we had to go to the hotel Impact first,

377
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: but I thought the game would be over at let's

378
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: see four thirty, we'd have time to get to the hotel.

379
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 3: My flight was at seven, we'd have time. No, we

380
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 3: got stuck on because it was snowing. So now it's

381
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: at a standstill, you know, driving because people I thought

382
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: it would not be an issue with driving, but it was.

383
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: There are a lot of transplants any big city now.

384
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh my gosh. So we're stuck there. Like an

385
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: hour went by, and I'm like, okay, we are boarding

386
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 3: in an hour, like so we took an uber. We

387
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: rode with them. It's complicated. This is why I was

388
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 3: so stressed. I don't think I've been that stressed in

389
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 3: a long time. I was like shaking and like yes,

390
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 3: because we had to uber with them somewhere just kind

391
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: of out of all the craziness, or ride with them.

392
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: Then we ubered to our hotel, ran up to our hotel.

393
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: Never packed that fast in my life. I just threw

394
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 3: everything and I was like, I hope I don't forget

395
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: and just throw it, which I I basically took my

396
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 3: ski suit off and left everything else on. So I

397
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: flew home in three layers. I was switch wedding.

398
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: In fairness, you're probably uncomfortable on the flight, but when

399
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: you got here, yes, it's probably worth it.

400
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 3: Uh huh. But on the flight, oh my, I was

401
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 3: like sweating. I had to take a shower when I

402
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: got home because I was like, I feel like I

403
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: just ran like a marathon.

404
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: That's wild. And the flight wasn't impacted.

405
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 3: No, it was delayed thirty minutes, which is what saved us,

406
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: because if it would not have been, you don't think

407
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: you would have made it. No, because we had to

408
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: return our rental car. You have to get on a

409
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 3: train or the trolley, and the Denver airport is much

410
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 3: the shuttle. The shuttle to get there, then you have

411
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: to get on the train and go from the terminal

412
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: all the way to the sea gates. And I was like,

413
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 3: oh my god, I can't do this.

414
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: So when did you arrive at your gate?

415
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 3: So we got there, oh man, Like luckily it got

416
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 3: delayed again, okay, till like seven thirty I think, so

417
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 3: originally got seven. Yeah, we got there like seven ten okay, dang.

418
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: And luckily they kind of delayed the boarding too, because

419
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 3: I think they were like de icing the plane or

420
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 3: the crew wasn't there yet. Then we did sit on

421
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 3: the runway and they had to dece the plane for

422
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 3: like thirty minutes. And I was like, Okay, is this safe?

423
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: Because I know they canceled thousands of flights. Why are

424
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: we still going?

425
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: Why are we the other what's still going in this moment?

426
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: And we had at the point of you coming home,

427
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: we had already gotten snow, but we had not started

428
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: to get ice yet. So I think that's why you

429
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: had this again. Everything about this past week was about

430
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: certain times, moments of time. Yeah, And I think you

431
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: guys had a sliver of time where you had to

432
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: make it before the ice, like the sleep mixture was

433
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: falling and it had a hit. Yet Oh my god,

434
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: and I think that's why you guys made it.

435
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. I got in at like eleven thirty and then

436
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 3: like my fiance picked me up in his truck. So

437
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh, I'm nervous because my

438
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 3: friend lives like really far away and she had to

439
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 3: uber home because her husband couldn't get out.

440
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: No.

441
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 3: Uber was like one hundred dollars. I was like, you

442
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 3: can stay with us, but she didn't have power at

443
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 3: her house and she didn't want to make him. They

444
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: have six dogs and she didn't want to make him

445
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 3: like be by himself. It was just crazy. But luckily

446
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 3: he could pick me up because he had four wheel drive.

447
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: Wait and that's hold on pause, timeline wrong my side.

448
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: It was Sunday night, Sunday night. Stuff had already fallen, right.

449
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: I don't know why you guys made it.

450
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: No, I know that's what I was saying, because like

451
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 3: when we got on the highway, there was no one

452
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 3: else on there, and he was going like ten miles

453
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 3: and it was solid like black ice. You could just

454
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 3: it was solid.

455
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, how, I don't know, did your guys is playing?

456
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 3: I don't know. I kind of wanted to get stuck there,

457
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: so I could have just like explored Denver.

458
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, hang out for a while.

459
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: I'll be back when it's all okay again, right, because

460
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 3: I knew hero is just gonna be stuck inside because

461
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 3: it's not any more snow. It's not a fun snow.

462
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 3: It's now ice where you don't want to be outside.

463
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Okay, we have more to talk about.

464
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 2: We need a quick break. Can be right back.

465
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: Well, so speaking of all of those timelines, because now

466
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 1: I'm gosh, it feels like this past week is it's

467
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 1: just been a plur general. So yeah, still don't know

468
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: how you made it. I'm it's a miracle you made

469
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: it back.

470
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 3: There were ten thousand flights canceled that day.

471
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: Must have been the pilots and those Slight attendants really

472
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: wanted to be in Nashville for some reason.

473
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 3: I thanked them. I was like, thank you very much

474
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: for getting us here safe.

475
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's wild because it was so it was Sunday morning,

476
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: so we on Friday. I had prepped, I had made chili,

477
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: I had all my batteries, all my things were charged.

478
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: I was ready for a winter storm.

479
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 2: I knew it. We grew up in Kansas.

480
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: I'm not unfamiliar with snow and the inches and you

481
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 1: may be stuck inside for a little bit.

482
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: Kind of vibes right, Saturday hits, Oh we're good, this

483
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 2: is snow outside. Let's go sledding.

484
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: So we went and sled at Capitol Hill, which is

485
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: my favorite hill to sled in in Nashville.

486
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: I post not been and it looks so fun.

487
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: It is the best time. I'm telling you, every snow

488
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: day you will find me there, Like if there's an

489
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: actual snow day, I will be there. We looked scary.

490
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 3: It looks like you're going really fast.

491
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: It is you are going really fast.

492
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: That's what it was funny is so I posted a

493
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: video of like all the contractions.

494
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: People were using.

495
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: It went viral and people were going bonkers over it,

496
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: which is funny to watch because a lot of people

497
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: are like, there's not enough snow. I'm like, well, then

498
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: explain how I was moving at that speed down the

499
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: hill because it's not just grass.

500
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 2: There is something there and there isn't all and that

501
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: defense there.

502
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: We we got maybe like three inches of snow maybe

503
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: and it was not falling super hard on those hills

504
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: and stuff. But you can bet Nashville used it as

505
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: an opportunity, and we did, and it will. It's so fun.

506
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: You have to go.

507
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 3: I do. I need to.

508
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: It's the best experience. And there's a party. There's always

509
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: a DJ there at the bottom of the hill.

510
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: He's playing music. People are drinking.

511
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: Like you have people down it's very much like a

512
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: mountain in Colorado. You have people down at the bottom

513
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: with the DJ and they're drinking and dancing and vibing.

514
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: And then you have people on top of the hill

515
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: who are sledding and doing the activities.

516
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: That is so cool.

517
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: It's such a vibe. And I always go.

518
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: So we got out. We ventured out Saturday. I was like, oh,

519
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: the roads aren't bad.

520
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: This is good.

521
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: I got four wheel drive. You know, this is what

522
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: the Broncos made for. So we went and had that.

523
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: We had a great time. Came home, made some homemade fondue.

524
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: Life is good. Okay, we're stuck inside. It's a little cold,

525
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: that's fine, go to sleep. Six thirty am. All of

526
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: a sudden, the power just out. That's Saturday morning, No

527
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: Sunday morning.

528
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 3: Sunday. Oh my gosh.

529
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: Six thirty am Sunday morning. And I'm like, I look

530
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: at my fiance and I'm like, power's out. He's like,

531
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: it'll it'll come back on. I don't think so. I

532
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: don't have a very good feeling about this one, because

533
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: if it just went out, it's not good and it's

534
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: not coming back on easily. Like we sat there for

535
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: laid in bed for like an hour, being like, okay,

536
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: it could just come back on, maybe it's a fluke.

537
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: It never came back on, and I started panicking. Panic

538
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: like set in and I don't something about Everything felt

539
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: different and normally I would have just rode it out,

540
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: stayed at the house, tried to figure things out. And

541
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: I looked at him and I said, I just don't

542
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: feel like this is normal, and I don't feel like

543
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: we should stay here because we don't have a heat

544
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: source at our house. There's no fireplace, we have nothing

545
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: to stay warm. There's nothing, and with power out that

546
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: takes away any opportunity for like a space heater or

547
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: anything like that. I don't have a generator. I don't

548
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: even have like a we didn't get a rented generator.

549
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: We didn't do anything like that. We have candles.

550
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: We have candles, and if we did have a gas,

551
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: we have a gas stove, but like that also, I

552
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: don't like running the gas stove without the hood because

553
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 1: carbon monoxide. Like every time I cook on it, that

554
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: hood is on.

555
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 3: That's the thing too, that's scary. The people were like

556
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: doing those heaters and.

557
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: Stuff, yeah, because caught onnox side. Yeah, and you're not

558
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: if you're you know, especially in a situation with no power,

559
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: your windows are all closed, you're you've sealed vince because

560
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: you don't want cold there coming in, and then you're

561
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: putting a thing in there. That's it's like the worst

562
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: case scenario, which is why I didn't want a generator.

563
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: I just generators freaked me out unless they're properly installed

564
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: and you have like the whole thing. And there were

565
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: so many things online where was like generator needs to

566
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: be away from your house.

567
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 3: I was like, what frick do you put it?

568
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: You put it in the front yard, just sits there

569
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: in the front yard.

570
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: Where is it gonna go? Can't go in the garage,

571
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: can't be in the backyard by the fence, like where's

572
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,479
Speaker 1: it supposed to be? And so I just was like,

573
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: we're just not not gonna mess with that. But I

574
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: looked at him and by nine am I was fine.

575
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: I was on the phone. I called five or six

576
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: different hotels trying to figure out what everything was happening,

577
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: Who had power, who didn't have power. Some of them

578
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: weren't even answering because I don't think they had power.

579
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: And also I was like, I'm not pain in an

580
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: insane amount of money, like this is not this is

581
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: not a vacation stay, right, give me like the cheapest

582
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: option that is dog and cat friendly, and that's where

583
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: we'll be. And that was what we found. We found

584
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: like an extended stay type place. So we had a

585
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: little kitchen area and we had free breakfast, yes, which

586
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: was the selling point for me.

587
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:22,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

588
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: And they welcomed Drummy and Hazel, which was perfect. Not

589
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: a lot of places allow cats, lot allowed dogs.

590
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 3: Oh I guess I didn't think of that.

591
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And a lot of them also have weight restrictions

592
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: on dogs. And there was not that whole hotel. Man,

593
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: it was it was a dog party.

594
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 3: Oh really, that's so cute. It was elevator and stuff.

595
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: Yes, it was a dog party. So we had like

596
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: after that, we load everything up. We took all of

597
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: our stuff in the fridge and we put it out

598
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: on the deck. We just put it in bags and

599
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: it was on the deck and we were like, uh,

600
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: if it goes bad, it goes bad. If not, at

601
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: least we tried. It's out there. It was all frozen by.

602
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,959
Speaker 3: The time we came back, but probably as hard as

603
00:24:58,960 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: a rock.

604
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: It's like hard as a rock Yep, everything was safe cold.

605
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: So now it's like it was in the house de

606
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: thawing when we got back. We had to like leave

607
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: it outside of the fridge for a while to get

608
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: it just to like go back to normal. But yes,

609
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: we use Nature's refrigerator for kitchen items. Love that we

610
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: turned off our water and we had drained all the

611
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: pipes because we're obviously worried about pipes freezing. I know

612
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: you experience that. We're gonna talk about that, and so

613
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: we I mean, like we tried to prepare the house

614
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: as much as possible, stuffed blankets and towels everywhere, trying

615
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: to keep it as warm as we could inside until

616
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: like we could come back, and we went and stay

617
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: at the hotel with the thought like what we brought

618
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: was for one night, Like surely this will be a

619
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: one night thing. We'll go back, that's what you think, Yeah, yeah,

620
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: that's what you hope, right, and you know it's getting

621
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: to be midnight, Sunday night. I'm like, this isn't no,

622
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: this is getting worse. I have a feeling and I'm

623
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 1: starting to see stuff online and I'm like, this is

624
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: not looking good for anybody. And so I go down.

625
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: I extend it another day, mind you. I extended each

626
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: day by the day, by the day.

627
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: You were lucky, well, because.

628
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know. That was the crappiest part, right. It

629
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: was like, you can't cancel a hotel room, right if

630
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: you do it within twenty four hours. So if we

631
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: get power back on, I'm paying for this night.

632
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 3: I were staying like if you it's like six pm

633
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 3: and you you're like, oh, we got it back.

634
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm like, and that's stupid. And so every night,

635
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: like before we went to bed, I didn't. I would

636
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: go and extend it. I want to extend it like

637
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: the morning of until the last day, which was where

638
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: the problem.

639
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 2: Ended up being.

640
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: Oh, but I'd go extend like the night before and

641
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 1: be like, okay, we're saying another night, I guess. And

642
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: so I kept doing that each night at a time,

643
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: like just assessing the situation. There was no like up

644
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: until Tuesday evening, there wasn't even a glimmer of hope.

645
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: Nobody had even been in our neighborhood based on our

646
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: neighborhood group chat, because have you ever seen Gossip Girl?

647
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: Do you know the references to gossip Girl.

648
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 1: Where's probably some spotted xoxo gossip Girl. So our neighborhood

649
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: group chat was doing gossip Girl spotted moments of the

650
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: Lineman neighborhood.

651
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 3: Okay, that's funny, like.

652
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: A picture of a truck, and it was like spotted

653
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: on Da Da Da Street xcrossip girl, and it became

654
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: a funny update. We didn't see anybody in the neighborhood

655
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: until like Tuesday evening, and that was our first sign

656
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: of okay, they're starting to look at the area. And

657
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,479
Speaker 1: then Wednesday, I had we were coming to work and

658
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: I have I felt like we had just gotten our

659
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: groove with our hotel living and just making the best

660
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: of what we're working with, and literally I go up.

661
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: I didn't extend the night before because I was just like,

662
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: I feel like we're fine, this has been working out.

663
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: I'll extend before I leave for work, I go up

664
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: to the desk. She just like, we're completely booked.

665
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,239
Speaker 3: We see, That's what I was thinking when you were like.

666
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 1: I extended the day of and so Wednesday, I'm like,

667
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: I start panicking.

668
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 2: Panic sets in. I'm like, we have to go to

669
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 2: another place. Hazel.

670
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: I had to take her to the emergency er in

671
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: the ice storm.

672
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 3: You did, ye oh no, yep.

673
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: She was stressed out from the whole situation, and because

674
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: she has kidney disease, stress makes everything much worse. And

675
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: cats with stress often get utiyes and UTI's connected the

676
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: kindizi's it's all, you know, interconnected in them. And when

677
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: they start peeing blood, you're in emergency territory already, And

678
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: so we had to Black Ice were driving like five

679
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: miles an hour. I'm like, we have to. She needs medicine.

680
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: There's no way she survives this if we don't. Like

681
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: those first twenty four hours when they start peeing blood

682
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: are super critical. And thankfully she hadn't shown any of

683
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: the other signs yet that she did last year when

684
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: she was hospitalized, where she like stopped eating and started

685
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 1: hiding and like really was showing bad signs. This was

686
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: just her peen blood and so we rushed her to

687
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: the er vets that was already on our We were

688
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: already worried about Hazel and having to then move her

689
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: to another location to add to her stress. So I

690
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: was panicked that she said that, and I knew it

691
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: was also on me because I didn't do it, but

692
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: I I didn't have any information. I was just working

693
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: with what I was given at the time. And so

694
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: I go to work. Of course, my fiance is keeping

695
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: his calm, cool head. He's like, we got this, I'll

696
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: pack up, I'll see you when you get back.

697
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: We'll be fine. And so I'm panicking.

698
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: But thankfully there was a listener named Jeff who actually

699
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: met at iHeart Country last year. He's super nice and

700
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: he had an extra house here. They live in Wisconsin

701
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: and they have a house here, and he's like, you

702
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 1: can go and stay. I'm like, thank goodness, so nice,

703
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: so nice. So shout out to Jeff and an amazing wife.

704
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: And because also with I have a dog with Addison's

705
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: disease and I have a cat with Kenney disease, both

706
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: of them can't be stressed. I can't take them to

707
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: the houses of our friends who were awesome and offered

708
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: their houses for us to stay, which would have been great,

709
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: but I can't put them in those situations. Like a

710
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: lot of them had kids, a lot of them had

711
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: other animals, none of which worked for Remy and Hazel,

712
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: and so it was like this situation where I had

713
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: to put them first. And you can't warm a cat, right,

714
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: we thought about just staying at the house. You can't

715
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: keep a cat warm. You can't put clothes on a cat.

716
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 3: I know don't.

717
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 2: And they only cuddled with you when they want a cuddle.

718
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they run, they run from me.

719
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: I can force my dog to cuddle with me and

720
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: be under a blanket. So there was just so many honestly,

721
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: just thinking about them that entire time. Yeah, so there

722
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: were so many factors. But as we're leaving the hotel,

723
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: we had packed up, just checked out, and we're like

724
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: sitting in the car with everybody packed up, everything's there.

725
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: We're about to head to to Jeff's house and I

726
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: get a text from the neighborhood group chat and was

727
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,959
Speaker 1: like spotted exox girlsip girl, we have power, and I

728
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: like tears of relief where I was just like, oh

729
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: my gosh, we get to go home.

730
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 2: And it was like the perfect time.

731
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: Of just like that's like perfect timing, perfect timing, and

732
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 3: I'm just like like my whole body was just like,

733
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, it's over.

734
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: I think hopefully.

735
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, because then we have to go.

736
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: Back and assess the situation.

737
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: Right, So we go to the house, the house with

738
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: thirty five degrees inside inside you could see your breath.

739
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: Okay, I was going to say, could you see Oh, brutal.

740
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: Thankfully, though everything else was in good condition, the power

741
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: flickered for several hours when we first got back. They

742
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: were still working on it, clearly and trying to do

743
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: different things. And it wasn't really until about four hours

744
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: later that we finally got steady power. And it wasn't

745
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: until ten o'clock that evening that we finally got like

746
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 1: actual heat to finally sustain in the house.

747
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 3: Really. Yeah, So it went back on at what time

748
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 3: and went back around about twelve thirty okay, and then

749
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 3: it didn't get like comfortable until ten.

750
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: Oh my, I can't imagine the people that were staying

751
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: in their homes without any power, without any heat source.

752
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 3: No, I don't know how they did it. I mean,

753
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 3: like maybe under a blanket if you just stay under

754
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 3: a blanket, but outside.

755
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,239
Speaker 1: Of that that would be so cold, and we were

756
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: under like we were under blanket. I mean, we had gloves,

757
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: we had our ski bibs, we had all of our

758
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 1: winter clothes on. Yeah, and under blankets and we were

759
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: still crazy. And that was with the heat coming back on.

760
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: And I just like him and I both looked at

761
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: each other and we're just like, we have so much

762
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: to be grateful for the fact that we were able

763
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: one to keep the girl safe, which was the number

764
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: one priority, but to that we got to come back

765
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: home and we're in a position that now our heat

766
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: is back home, and there's so many people that didn't

767
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: and like you want to talk about the gratitude that

768
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: both of us were feeling and just thinking of everything

769
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: that everybody was going through, like I did. My whole

770
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: body was like you know when you feel like the

771
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: weight lift off to your shoulders, Yeah, I felt that,

772
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: and like my body feel like a sigh of relief

773
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: while also like crying because I know there's just so

774
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: many people that were still dealing with what we're still

775
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: at the tail end of experiencing.

776
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 3: Uh huh. It makes me so nervous, especially like elderly

777
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 3: that are like alone or like don't have anybody to

778
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 3: check on them. Oh my gosh, I hate that thought.

779
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 3: Like I'm hoping, I know, and I've seen a lot

780
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: of that, the people reaching out me like Okay, you know,

781
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 3: let's check on them. And that's still that's just always

782
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 3: like the worst part, and it is.

783
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: And like I I tried to reach out to a

784
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: few different people who were posting like that they had

785
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: elderly and we were gonna as soon as we got

786
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: power back, I was like, I'm let's help, Like I know,

787
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: we got it back, let's go. And I I'm still

788
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: waiting to see responses from some of them, hoping because

789
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: I just like, those are the things that you wish

790
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: happened for you, right, so why wouldn't you do the

791
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: things that you wish happened for you? Yes to someone

792
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: or other other people? And it's like a small gesture.

793
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 3: It's not hard.

794
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: No, like showing up with warm soup. Yes, like sitting

795
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: in a cold house and you just need something warm.

796
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: Warm soup would would make all the difference, you know

797
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: what I mean, And that's so easy, But it's just

798
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: it was it was crazy times like there was.

799
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 3: My heart was like, yes, that is a lot. I

800
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: don't want to tell you. Don't want to talk about

801
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 3: mind just I don want to hear it about.

802
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: But you had pipes burst. This is another side of this.

803
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 3: It didn't they didn't burst it luckily. Well, I have

804
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:06,239
Speaker 3: to go check today. I'm actually really nervous because it

805
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 3: froze on the outside, luckily by the meter.

806
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, hold on pause, I'm taking a break and

807
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: I want the rest of this.

808
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 2: All right, So it froze at the meter.

809
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: Okay.

810
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 3: So my fiance's house has been fine, the one that

811
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 3: we live in, his kids are in. He never lost

812
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 3: power or anything, which is so wild. Yes, that's amazing.

813
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 3: But then my town home, which is across from town,

814
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: it's like forty five minutes from his house. While I

815
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 3: was gone in Denver, like the power went out a

816
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: day I or a day and a half, maybe two days.

817
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: Because I was asking my neighbors, I was like, do

818
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 3: we have power? Because I'm really nervous. I did prepare

819
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 3: before I left, Like I left dripping fosets. I left

820
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 3: all the cabinets underneath, and I turned my heat up

821
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 3: like higher in case it did, like go out.

822
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: You know.

823
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 3: But then I went and checked on it the other

824
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 3: day and I had no pressure in my water, and

825
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 3: so I called the water company because it usually happens

826
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: where it freezes at the meter every year because it's

827
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 3: in the ground, there's not a lot of sunlight that

828
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: hit it's that spot, and the insulation's not good because

829
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 3: it's in like a whole bunch of like rock, so

830
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 3: it just like keeps it freezing. And so they usually

831
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 3: come out and fix it. But this time they came

832
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 3: out and they're like, oh, there's water there, So I

833
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 3: don't know why it would be. Why you don't have

834
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 3: any And I'm like, oh, my gosh, that means my pipe.

835
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 3: It's my pipes that are like frozen. And yeah. And

836
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 3: so I went back last night after like the sun

837
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 3: was out because it got warmer here yesterday it was

838
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 3: like thirty six.

839
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: I think we.

840
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 2: Saw some sunshine.

841
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 3: It got some sun Yeah, And I went back over

842
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 3: and I did have water, so that's good. But I

843
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 3: was only there for a little bit to check it,

844
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 3: and so I'm like, I hope that it didn't.

845
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, well, it's so hard.

846
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I remember when we first turned on the

847
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: house of all like when we turned all the water

848
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: back on and everything was churning back on. I mean

849
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: that house was just like singing. It had so many

850
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: cracks and pops and noises, and I was like, what

851
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: is happening?

852
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 3: What's going on?

853
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: Like and you're panicking, right because you're hearing all of

854
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: these noises, thinking everything's just busting at the seams. Yes,

855
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: but that's also just getting flow back to where it's

856
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be in like a normal setting. But you

857
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: had it all, you know, turned off or dripping. Dripping

858
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: even causes that if you've not been using it. So

859
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: it's crazy like the inner workings of all that. We

860
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: were having that conversation of because Ray mentioned when we

861
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: got back home, I had turned on emergency heat, and

862
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: I was like, it was an emergency, like it took

863
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: you know, eight hours to finally get any version of

864
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: heat happening, and so I was joking like, what's the

865
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: point of emergency heat.

866
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: He's like, I think you could have had that turned on.

867
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: And then Abby and I were having this whole conversation

868
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: about like pipes, and we're like, why didn't anybody teach

869
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: us this crap?

870
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think he's right, I don't think.

871
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: I don't think he does either.

872
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 3: He said, like, you can use the emergency heat that

873
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 3: takes like gas. But I'm like, I have not heard that.

874
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 3: I everybody would use their because mine has that too. Yeah,

875
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 3: in my town home it has like aux auxillary, auxilliary auxiliary.

876
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: I think, yes, I think.

877
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 3: And I looked it up and it is emergency and

878
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 3: I was like, what's the point But I don't think

879
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 3: it's gas.

880
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: But see, then you go back to the point of

881
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: carbon monoxide. As soon as you start using gas, there's

882
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: just still Like But my point being, why didn't they

883
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: teach us how to handle these things? Yes, how to

884
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: be aware of these things correct? Why do we have

885
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: to utilize social media and word of mouth to understand these.

886
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: And chat GPT? I'm trying to ask. I'm like, hey,

887
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 3: can you tell me about this?

888
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 1: Yeah?

889
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 3: What does this mean?

890
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: Do I need help? I know?

891
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, several of my friends still don't have power,

892
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 3: Like they live in Nashville and they haven't had it

893
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 3: for four days. And I'm like, there's still if you

894
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 3: look at the map of Nashville, like the nes and

895
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 3: Nashville Electric Service, like there are so many also that

896
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 3: still don't have power.

897
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: Well, and I I mean I saw a video of

898
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: our transformers getting blown over and where like the area

899
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: of where I live, and I was like, that burst road.

900
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: What causes those to blow I assume ice, because ice

901
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: was making trees explode. That was the other thing that

902
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: was wild. When we first woke up and our power

903
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: was out, because you know, when your power goes out,

904
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: everything's quiet. It feels crazy because there's no humming, there's

905
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: no noises from things, and it's just quiet. And when

906
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: we were laying in bed, we heard five different trees

907
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: explode and it sounds like a bomb going off. I'm

908
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: not kidding you, Like we're just laying there and you'd

909
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: be like it'd be like I p and I'm like

910
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: what what's that? The first one was crazy, and then

911
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,720
Speaker 1: I remembered seeing on social media that trees can explode

912
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: with ice, and so I was like, that has to

913
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: be a tree. And then shortly after it just kept happening.

914
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: It was like a boom, boom boom.

915
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

916
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: Wild.

917
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 3: That is so crazy. I haven't heard one. I've seen

918
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 3: like pictures that people were it's like it literally exploded.

919
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I haven't heard it, and it's a wild sound.

920
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: Even like my fiance went out back to cause our

921
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: magnolia tree did not do well surviving in the heist.

922
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if she's gonna survive it completely.

923
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: But one of the neighbor's trees like fell on her somewhat,

924
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: some other branches of their big trees did. And he

925
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: went out there. He's like, the trees are talking, like

926
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: they are loud, because he was like, they're creaking and

927
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: moaning and like them because they're they're all like in ice.

928
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: They're encased in ice. She's like, and when you don't again,

929
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: don't have power, there's so much silence and there's nobody

930
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: driving on roads because nobody's out, so it's so quiet. Yeah,

931
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 1: he was like, the and I walked out there and

932
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: it literally sounds like that, like they're weird. They're like

933
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 1: communicating because they're encased in ice.

934
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:29,479
Speaker 3: Wait, didn't plants talk?

935
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: Yeah?

936
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 3: Don't they?

937
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: We talked about we didn't we have talked about it.

938
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: And I heard it, like I literally heard them talking

939
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: to each other.

940
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 3: Oh my god.

941
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 1: What was so crazy though? Is like my also, my

942
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: my thought process and all of this was just like

943
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: thinking about the elements that are being impacted by this, right,

944
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: Like you have so much structure of trees that are

945
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: now gonna be gone forever. You have who knows how

946
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: many animals that you know are, whether they're actual like

947
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: outdoor animals like squirrels and birds and whatever. But then

948
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: you think of out the stray animals and like, my mind, I'm.

949
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 3: Just I don't like thinking about that. It makes me sad.

950
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 3: I know, I just can't, I know, but I want

951
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 3: to help everything. You can't physically help them.

952
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: I know, And I'm like, how can I make sure

953
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: I can help next time? What can I be doing

954
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: to make sure I can assist next time. It's just

955
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: it's so crazy to see and be part of. And

956
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: it's it feels weird because we grew up in tornadoes.

957
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: We've seen this kind of devastation happen. It was surrounding

958
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: us as kids. Different types of course, right, ice storm

959
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: and tornadoes are not the same, but devastation nonetheless, And

960
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: it's just it's hard. It's hard to see people go

961
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: through stuff like that, and it's hard to witness and

962
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: just see the impact of natural disasters and what it

963
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: does to places and it's but it's again, like I

964
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: go back to how cool it is though to see

965
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: I mention this on part two where we talk about

966
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: like the kind things that we saw, but watching my

967
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: neighborhood come together, watching community come together, people show up

968
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: for each other and start to support small businesses who

969
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: were really impacted by it.

970
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 2: I mean that's you know, that's what it's all about.

971
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 3: It is and hopefully we can we'll continue it, not

972
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 3: just this whole like open our eyes to be like, Okay,

973
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 3: we should just continue helping and not just wait for

974
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 3: something like this.

975
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: No, it should always be this way. We should always

976
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: be trying to support small businesses. We should always be

977
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 1: trying to talk to our neighbors and know each other

978
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: and offer help where you can. Just yeah, So that

979
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 1: was that was the silver lining of all of it.

980
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: Was that, and Hazel's on the.

981
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 3: Men she's doing better. I felt really good.

982
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: And you have water again, you have power again. So

983
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: there are good things that have have come out of it.

984
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: And I don't just want to talk about those two things.

985
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: I want to I want to do a fun thing

986
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: for us to end on. Okay, because we did talk

987
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: about and I'm so guy, we talked about the Broncos

988
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: game because I know that was so fun for you.

989
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: And I did get to go sledding at the beginning

990
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 1: of this, which was super fun.

991
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 3: That looked really fun.

992
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: It was so fun, and that it was fun to

993
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: watch you in Denver. So there were there were bright moments.

994
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: There were And now we're on the backside. And I

995
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 1: hope everybody who still doesn't have power or who's still

996
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: struggling or is you know, in all these physicians, if

997
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: you need ways of helping, I reach out. If you

998
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 1: can't out one and two, I hope you stay warm

999
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: and safe. So this is what we're gonna end on

1000
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: to have like a fun, little happy note. There's a

1001
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 1: current trend that's happening on social media where you say

1002
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: I may not know everything, but I know dot dot

1003
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: dot where you fill in the blank and it's like

1004
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: a funny thing and I'll share mine so you maybe

1005
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: I'll give you something to think about. But mine is

1006
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: that I can cook in a stainless steel pan.

1007
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 2: You know how hard that is?

1008
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: Have you ever tried to cook in a stanless steel pan? No,

1009
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: everything speaks to it, okay, yoh yeah, yeah, yeah, Because like.

1010
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 3: We grew up with cook pasta pasta, yeah.

1011
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: You can cook anything, and stainless steel, but we grew

1012
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,399
Speaker 1: up with nonstick pans, and of course those are really

1013
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: bad for you. As we've learned, you're not supposed to

1014
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,399
Speaker 1: use non stick pans. Apparently the thing that made life

1015
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 1: easier is in your life harder. So I had bought

1016
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: stainless steel pans I don't know, over a year ago now,

1017
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: and they're really hard to learn to cook on because

1018
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: everything sticks to it. Things burn really easily, especially on

1019
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: a guest stove. And so this is like an art

1020
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: and me and my fiance, the amount of YouTube videos

1021
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: we've watched to learn how to cook with stainless steel

1022
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: pans is absurd.

1023
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: But you know what, now we have figured it out.

1024
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 3: That is funny.

1025
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: This is my skill.

1026
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: That is awesome.

1027
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 2: It's like a funny thing.

1028
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: But I am really impressed with ourselves that we finally

1029
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: know how to cook with them. I didn't realize it

1030
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: was going to be such a like learning experience to

1031
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: change pans.

1032
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 3: I don't know, what do you usually cook on, well, like,

1033
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: you know.

1034
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: A nonstick pan that has like so things don't sticky,

1035
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 1: it's right oil and then nothing sticks. If you even

1036
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: just put oil on stainless steel and it's not heated

1037
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: up to the right amount, or you don't use the

1038
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: right oil with the right thing, everything just sticks to

1039
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 1: the sides. There's like cooking scrambled eggs and stainless steel

1040
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: pan as a disaster. If you don't know how to

1041
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 1: do it and to clean, it sucks even worse.

1042
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I haven't had that. I do pasta in that. Okay,

1043
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 3: it alway sticks to the bottom.

1044
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: See, but there's an art to it, and now I

1045
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: know the art. And you know what, nothing sticking anymore.

1046
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,399
Speaker 3: That is a little thing.

1047
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 2: It's little things.

1048
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 3: So tell me what your I may not know everything,

1049
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 3: but I know hm. I may not know everything, but

1050
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 3: I know how to survive in a blizzard.

1051
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 2: Okay, game you did?

1052
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 3: That'd keep my feet warm? I think it worked until

1053
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 3: it broke, until I walked too much. I do think

1054
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 3: the cardboard was a huge helper that, Yeah, because when

1055
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 3: I realized when we got into our house without power,

1056
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 3: when it was the thirty five degrees and I was

1057
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 3: walking on the floor barefoot, my feet got so cold

1058
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 3: so fast, and once they get cold, there's no going back.

1059
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: No, you have to thaw them out to then be

1060
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: warm again. Uh like you can't just like warm them

1061
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: up while they're so cold.

1062
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, exactly, yes. No, what I did is I

1063
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 3: did the sock, I did the foil, and and I

1064
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 3: did another song, and then I put a foot toe

1065
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 3: warmer in there.

1066
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: I love so it heat up the foil, your little

1067
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: electric toe warmer thing.

1068
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 3: No, it was just like one of the they have hackets,

1069
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 3: yes that you like shake, you know, and it takes

1070
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 3: a few minutes. I put it in there, so they

1071
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 3: were like hot. I love a good idea, and tell

1072
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,240
Speaker 3: the foil busted.

1073
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 2: But you didn't know the foil busted to the end, right,

1074
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 2: I didn't know. Maybe it was also a placebo effect foil.

1075
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: You're like, I'm a I'm a big chicken.

1076
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 3: I think it was, I really do. I was like,

1077
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 3: I think this is all in my head, the foil.

1078
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 2: So you learn how to survive in a blizzard.

1079
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love this for you. And no, Cayenne Pepper,

1080
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: don't use that trick, No pep. Yeah, the ballers lied

1081
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: to us.

1082
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 3: I'm scared to try it, like maybe it does work,

1083
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 3: but I was like, I don't want to get all

1084
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 3: these like blisters and it burns your skin. Someone messaged

1085
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 3: me and they said, what did they do? They were

1086
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 3: cold and they like showered in like pepper, like cayannemember.

1087
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: They showered or something like how do you how do

1088
00:45:58,600 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: you showering cayenne pepper?

1089
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 3: Maybe I read it really fast. They were cold and

1090
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 3: they like sprinkled it on them and they were like

1091
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 3: burning for like days, And I was like, that's why

1092
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 3: I didn't try it.

1093
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 2: Well, that feels like that went in places it shouldn't go.

1094
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 2: I think it's a little different.

1095
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 1: It was just on your feet, like I mean it

1096
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: every hole and your eyes.

1097
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 3: Ouch, yeah, Kyanne, your lips like cayae pepper going in

1098
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 3: my mouth. I don't either, I let alone anywhere else.

1099
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 3: I don't need spicy feet.

1100
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: No ouch, no spicy feet. Yeah.

1101
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 3: Can you imagine that? That'd be miserable. I couldn't go

1102
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,479
Speaker 3: to the game because my feet are.

1103
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: You're like, I hurt my feet from cayenne pepper. So

1104
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: that's a no for meat dog. I did say though,

1105
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: that you have to make it with the foot powder.

1106
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: So if you don't have the foot powder, I do

1107
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: think you should not just put cayan pepper on your feet.

1108
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna do like baby powder or is

1109
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 3: it different?

1110
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 2: Would probably?

1111
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: I think you need something to at least alleviate the

1112
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:56,760
Speaker 1: the spice.

1113
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 3: Touch, if you will. I wasn't willing to try it

1114
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 3: like on my first game. I didn't want to be miserable,

1115
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 3: have miserable. Okay, your next game, you have to try it.

1116
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 3: Since you don't want to try out your first game,

1117
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 3: you have to try on your next game. I'll do

1118
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 3: one foot. See the difference.

1119
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: One foot's gonna be like either really warm and like golden,

1120
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,280
Speaker 1: or it's gonna be all blistered and horrible.

1121
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 3: Oh my god. But then I'll just like limp. I'll

1122
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 3: just limp to the game.
