It all 22 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 2: started in nineteen ninety one on a hot summer day. 23 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: But I just growing up. I've I'm not someone who 24 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: I need all the attention to be on me, but 25 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,759 Speaker 2: I am someone who likes to use my birthday as 26 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: an excuse to be with people I love and force 27 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: them to do something I want to do. I'll, you know, 28 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: like a party or a concert or whatever, just spend 29 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: time together. 30 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: But it doesn't need to be me focused. 31 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 2: But it's been difficult in the past because even like 32 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: starting when I didn't get a locker at school, you know, 33 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: it kind of made me sad because I had a 34 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: summer birthday decoration, like the cupcakes. You can't bring cupcakes anymore. 35 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: Used to get a locker, used to people used to 36 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: decorate it. Yeah, yeah, I used to like. 37 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: Really like long for that yearn for that, you know, 38 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: and bring a treat. You know, I wanted to bring 39 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: a treat. And then it turned into when I got 40 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 2: a little bit older, everyone took like a family in 41 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: the Midwest, everyone takes like a family road trip or vacation, 42 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,279 Speaker 2: and it's usually early August before everyone goes back to school. 43 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: So typically if I wanted to do something, I had 44 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: like one little friend with me there, which is fine. 45 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: I mean we're so bald because planned. 46 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: Everybody else was outtown. 47 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it turned into weddings. You know, I 48 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 2: have an August birthday, and typically if it's on the weekend, 49 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 2: there are weddings. Then it turned into La La Palooza 50 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: the Chicago Music Festival, because it's every year during either 51 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: my actual birthday or the weekend that I would celebrate 52 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: my birthday because the weekend after my birthday is my 53 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: sister's birthday, so there's really no there's no time before 54 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: or after. So I've kind of just made my peace 55 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: with it, and that's happening this year. And it's very funny, 56 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: like when you're the planner of the group, and like, 57 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: I really love planning other people's birthdays. I think you 58 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: guys can probably attest like it. That's very important to me. 59 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: I think it's special. I want to celebrate the people 60 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: I love. But it's very funny when like it's my 61 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: birthday and then like all the people that I plan 62 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: for ask me what we're doing, and I'm like, Okay, 63 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: I don't should I be telling you guys what we're doing. 64 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. But my second question is miss Paulina 65 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: this morning and I were in the elevator and she goes, Hey, 66 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 2: what are you into lately? 67 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: Super slick? Great, super super slick. Yeah, I'm super I 68 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: always ask people that in the elevator. I'm actually asking 69 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: a different question entirely, but yeah, hey, what are you? 70 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: What are you into these days? You know, that's just 71 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: that's me feeling out something totally different. But I'm super slick. Yes, 72 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: one week away from the birthday? Hey, what kind of 73 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: stuffy into right now? That's when I asked my my 74 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: That's when I asked my friends with kids when their 75 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: birthday is coming up, like what are they into right now? 76 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: Like that's because it's a never changing thing for a child. 77 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: You know. Right now, for Gideon's son, it's Legos and 78 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: Spider Man, but you know in a year it might 79 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: be something else. Yeah, so what do you? Yeah, but 80 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: while we're at it, what are you into? The what 81 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: are you into these days? Am I? 82 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 2: God? 83 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: Taking some notes? 84 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: I spend we are in constant communication, and I spend 85 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: more time with her than I stid with my family. 86 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: So it's just very funny, out of nowhere in an elevator. 87 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: On random morning, what are you in? 88 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: And then she's like, you know, I think you like shoes, right, 89 00:03:58,920 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: what kind of shoes you've been trying? 90 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: Polina, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. But 91 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: I am. 92 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: Hypocritical because I would never tell someone what to buy me. 93 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: But I very much love when you guys tell me 94 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: what you want. Like that is my happy place. 95 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: As a grown up. At this age, I'm very much 96 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: of the place where I wish you would just say, 97 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 1: like your birthday next week, I wish you would just 98 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: tell me I'm looking at these shoes because I'm just 99 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: going to go buy them for you.

And then it's like then 103 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: you might feel guilty about returning it, or or you 104 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: might not like it or want it, or you might 105 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: want something else, or you might already have it, or 106 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: too much of that category. It's just like because we're 107 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: not we're not any longer, Like it's not when we're kids, 108 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: when we don't have any money, so like everything is 109 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: cool because almost everything is cool, except for that time 110 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: that I got a bike instead of the Nintendo sixty 111 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: four I wanted if my sister got the Nintendo sixty 112 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: four and then held it over my head.

I think 140 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: it's a brilliant idea. Like my sister does this now 141 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: for the kids birthdays, Like she'll just send me here, here, 142 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: this is what she wants, Like here are three options, 143 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: and I just click on all three and order them 144 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: on Amazon. And I will admit that it's lazy. It 145 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: is lazy, But at the same time, it's like I 146 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: would much rather just get you what you want then 147 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: try and guess and it not be right. So if 148 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: you wouldn't mind a little email, you know, with a 149 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: few links, just a couple of little linky links on it, 150 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: you know, just a little just a little something, and 151 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: we could do like various price ranges, we could do, 152 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: like we could do like. 153 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: You know, right, are you guys doing a group gift? 154 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: But why can't there been there been debates and discussions, 155 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: and there's been negotiations behind the scenes.
