Speaker 3: Clip was so funny.
Speaker 1: By the way, he's adorable, all right, sister, So we
Speaker 1: had a lot of milestones for you and the babes.
Speaker 1: We'll start with that mom first, Max first Christmas.
Speaker 3: And Max first Christmas.
Speaker 1: Had tell everybody where you just came from.
Speaker 3: I just came from. I'm trying.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at this text chain with me, you, Greg
Speaker 2: and Kevin because the boys just wrote on it, and
Speaker 2: I don't understand what they're writing about anyways. Okay, so
Speaker 2: five six, seven eight, I just came from our house.
Speaker 2: We had our first swimming lesson with Mac and our
Speaker 2: little family friend Teddy Purcell and his wife Alex and
Speaker 2: their baby Theo. Theo is like three weeks older than Mac.
Speaker 2: So we had a swim in structure come to our house.
Speaker 2: Daddy heated the pool really really warm, like bathwater, because
Speaker 2: that was a big deal for cheapy pants and cheap back.
Speaker 2: Now this is a great question we're just talking. I said,
Speaker 2: are you going to turn off the heat in the pool?
Speaker 2: And he goes, well, I don't know, because like do
Speaker 2: I like if I but then if I turn it off,
Speaker 2: then I got a heat it back up.
Speaker 3: Next week for the next swimming lesson.
Speaker 2: So you know in your house, how like we shut
Speaker 2: our air off. You and I like to we yell
Speaker 2: the boys we shut the air off, But they say
Speaker 2: a comfortable temp is seventy five. So you don't turn
Speaker 2: it all the way off and then have to recool
Speaker 2: the house off.
Speaker 3: What's a good tempt for the pool?
Speaker 2: So you don't shut it off, it gets cold and
Speaker 2: you have to heat it all up again.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but your house is seventy five. That
Speaker 3: feels very No.
Speaker 2: It's not seventy five if you leave and go out
Speaker 2: of town, Like, I don't just shut my air off.
Speaker 3: I turn it on seventy five. Oh not me.
Speaker 1: I'm shutting everything off I have because I'm also I'm
Speaker 1: not a hypochondcontract when it comes to health stuff. I'm
Speaker 1: OCD when it comes to anything in my house, Like
Speaker 1: I will turn all the Christmas lights off.
Speaker 3: I will shut down like all these lights like whatever.
Speaker 3: It's probably why I got robbed off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I'm afraid that there's gonna be some crier
Speaker 1: spark that goes off. I even the other day had
Speaker 1: lit a candle and there was like this box next
Speaker 1: to it. I thought, I wonder if like an aert flame,
Speaker 1: like a little spark jumps out and then it's gonna
Speaker 1: like the whole I just I get freaked out about
Speaker 1: like electrical things. Never you, guys, never ever ever leave
Speaker 1: your dryer on when you leave the house. Ever, Like
Speaker 1: those are those things that like you hear about. Now
Speaker 1: back to the pool temp. I don't know, girl, I
Speaker 1: have not heated that pool up and I don't know ever, yeah,
Speaker 1: like it's so expensive, so I don't heat it up.
Speaker 1: And then I lost my you know what on Steve
Speaker 1: the other day because I saw heat rising out of
Speaker 1: the hot tub and we'd been gone for hours. I
Speaker 1: was like, did you like the hot tab on? And
Speaker 1: he's like, uh no, it's just because the air's cold
Speaker 1: out there. He's like, you psycho.
Speaker 3: But I don't want to be paying for things that
Speaker 3: we don't need, so I'm cheap.
Speaker 2: Mack said, bath water, So you have to do it
Speaker 2: for those young babies so they'll stick in there.
Speaker 3: Anyways, he did really good.
Speaker 2: She even like blew on his face so he would
Speaker 2: close his mouth because Max is a bit of a
Speaker 2: mouth for there, he's always like.
Speaker 3: So closed his mouth, dunked him under he was fine.
Speaker 3: He got up and he was like looter around and
Speaker 3: we're like whoo yeah, yeah, ye yeah, and then it
Speaker 3: was like the five seconds later.
Speaker 2: But then it's embarrassing because like, our friend's baby didn't
Speaker 2: cry and Max crying.
Speaker 3: And it's like, what come on, buddy. I wonder about
Speaker 3: what Nick Saban say about that. Wait, it's actually a.
Speaker 1: Really interesting thing because I was telling you earlier when
Speaker 1: we were catching up because we hadn't which normally we
Speaker 1: don't do before a podcast.
Speaker 3: But whatever.
Speaker 1: I went to meet up with a couple of my
Speaker 1: girlfriends and they both have two year olds that are
Speaker 1: like a right around this well obviously around the same age. Jesus,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna blame the cough medicine for that explanation, do it.
Speaker 1: They were born around the same time whatever, a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks apart, and I was thinking to myself, I
Speaker 1: didn't tell them this, but like, what like if one's
Speaker 1: more advanced than the other one, or one's crying and
Speaker 1: one's not, like I would be very competitive with that.
Speaker 2: Well I know, and you know how they say, like
Speaker 2: each baby is different, but it's.
Speaker 3: Hard not to be like Mac get it together, crying
Speaker 3: what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2: Like Nick Saban will never come for a home visit
Speaker 2: if you're crying.
Speaker 3: My gosh, Nick Saban was crying yesterday.
Speaker 1: Poor guy Alabama losing the playoff round so they can't
Speaker 1: advance the National Championship Game semi finals.
Speaker 3: For those of you available for comment and concern, that
Speaker 3: was quite a game. I got to say.
Speaker 1: It was like everything you want it to be right,
Speaker 1: like where it's like it comes down to the last drive,
Speaker 1: the last second, like when they kept alternating and taking timeouts.
Speaker 1: For those of you that don't know it's Michigan against Alabama,
Speaker 1: you've got these powerhouse programs and like from the onset,
Speaker 1: I thought that that game was going to be run
Speaker 1: away by Michigan because they were getting after Alabama's quarter
Speaker 1: like sack five sacks or whatever it was in the
Speaker 1: first half. But it ended up being a great game.
Speaker 1: Any who, And Washington that ended up being a great
Speaker 1: game too, Washington Texans at time. Yeah, okay, so Mac
Speaker 1: had a great first swim lesson q T cutes. I
Speaker 1: also keep taking with you that this kid is like
Speaker 1: fifteen years old already. Do you think he's grown up?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: Has it gone by fast?
Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of coincided with my football season. And
Speaker 2: you know, my husband said yesterday, he goes, the season's
Speaker 2: gone fast. I'm like, has it has it? It's like
Speaker 2: some days it does, some days it doesn't. Now that
Speaker 2: we're you know, we always said when we get to December,
Speaker 2: it flies because the holidays, and then once you hit January,
Speaker 2: it's like the playoffs, singer having a time and it
Speaker 2: just flies. So I guess that would mean the six
Speaker 2: months of my baby's life have gone fast, which is
Speaker 2: kind of a bummer. And I will reintroduce myself to
Speaker 2: him in February. Hi, I'm your mom.
Speaker 3: It's me.
Speaker 2: Hi.
Speaker 3: That's what I want to talk to you about me. Oh, yes,
Speaker 3: say go.
Speaker 2: So we I was having a bit to drink the
Speaker 2: other night and wanted to call Chris and Steve and
Speaker 2: FaceTime him and see what they were up to. And
Speaker 2: I didn't make a big deal about it on the phone,
Speaker 2: but I thought about it.
Speaker 3: We both said.
Speaker 2: We weren't going to watch it until we went to
Speaker 2: the show. But when I called the christ and Steve, oh,
Speaker 2: I thought I did, maybe it's a cough medicine, Because
Speaker 2: I was like, am I going to go to this
Speaker 2: movie and you go, no, oh my god, Ryan said
Speaker 2: you said it?
Speaker 3: Ryan said it? You said it on here.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't recall that one hundred percent said it.
Speaker 1: I would wait to watch it with Aaron. Well, I
Speaker 1: became Aaron because I, by the way, I could one
Speaker 1: hundred percent have went to that concert, and I know
Speaker 1: the one that was out of town.
Speaker 3: So we're even. I don't remember saying that, but okay, regardless,
Speaker 3: we're all fine. Thank you, Brian. Yes, I wanted to
Speaker 3: see it off. Okay, you've never typed faster in that
Speaker 3: little side conversation. Yeah, she said that. Help me out.
Speaker 2: So anyways, I FaceTime you guys, and you guys are
Speaker 2: so cute with your glasses of wine and you're watching it.
Speaker 2: So my sister we went and walked the dog and
Speaker 2: Ken's like, do you want to watch it? I said
Speaker 2: I do, So we went upstairs. Chris, it took us
Speaker 2: three nights to watch it. We only watched an hour
Speaker 2: every night.
Speaker 3: How could you put the remote down? I stayed up.
Speaker 3: I was like, I got to finish this thing.
Speaker 2: I think I wanted to spread out the happiness. It's
Speaker 2: like what I did was Shit's creek I still haven't
Speaker 2: watched the finale of Shit's Creek because I just wanted
Speaker 2: to be like it to continue. So I haven't even
Speaker 2: seen the wedding yet. Let's stay on tas Okay, that's
Speaker 2: our Tailor schorl concert.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 2: We have not gone to the show yet. That is
Speaker 2: going to be part of the conversation. Which one are
Speaker 2: we going to London?
Speaker 1: Yes, I see London and I see France. I see
Speaker 1: Taylor in our pants. That sounds bad, that's crazy. Anyways,
Speaker 1: go what did you think? I have so many observations.
Speaker 1: Go okay, well, as evidenced by the seventy five videos
Speaker 1: that Steve took of me.
Speaker 3: But I had the best time because she so My.
Speaker 1: Affinity with Taylor dates back to I'll abbreviate the story,
Speaker 1: so not everyone's yawning by the end of it. My niece,
Speaker 1: she was sick. All she wanted to do was go
Speaker 1: to the Taylor Swift concert. She gets out of the hospital,
Speaker 1: we take her to the Taylor Swift concert. I mean
Speaker 1: this is fifteen twenty years ago now, one of her
Speaker 1: first concerts, and I just remember sobbing because Alyssa was
Speaker 1: singing every word to the song and it made her
Speaker 1: so happy, and I was like, I don't even know
Speaker 1: who Taylor Swift is, but I just love her because
Speaker 1: Alyssa loves her. And then after that we all know
Speaker 1: that Aaron and I have a great admiration and love
Speaker 1: for her because she's just joy And that's my word
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four. She's just joyful that And I
Speaker 1: know not every day of her life is, but I'm
Speaker 1: saying she exudes this sentiment of just happiness and I
Speaker 1: like that, and she's a little ray of sunshine and
Speaker 1: I'm into it. So when I was watching her concert,
Speaker 1: I just was like, how can you not love this?
Speaker 1: How can you not love her? And she's like and
Speaker 1: then she picked up the guitar and then we're playing
Speaker 1: the piano, and it's like to think about her writing
Speaker 1: all of these songs, And then I was thinking about
Speaker 1: Jake Gillenhan. I was thinking about the songs that she's
Speaker 1: writing about him, and I'm thinking about John Mayer, and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the guys that she wrote these songs
Speaker 1: for some of them. And then I'm thinking about like
Speaker 1: the drama of like we were never getting back together
Speaker 1: or calmed down or all these different things, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I want to know the backstory. Sometimes she talks about
Speaker 1: the backstory of these things, like yeah, the other but
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: She uses a lot of big words. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, like what you want to go over
Speaker 3: some of them?
Speaker 2: Now, No, Klara's got a lot of words in it
Speaker 2: that I'm just like, what, Like it's great though, like
Speaker 2: I fink she's so smart.
Speaker 3: Yes, she's just really joyful.
Speaker 1: And I couldn't stop, like I just had to get
Speaker 1: up off of the sofa thing and just start dancing.
Speaker 3: Was it that you were dancing too?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: What was that one? All of them? I was literally
Speaker 3: dancing to almost all of them. Yeah, And then Kenna
Speaker 3: and I were saying, but oh so sorry, go ahead god,
Speaker 3: oh no, no, no, you're good.
Speaker 1: I was just there was some songs of like different
Speaker 1: albums because obviously it's the Era's concert was some of them.
Speaker 1: I didn't know those songs, so I did fast forward
Speaker 1: like a little bit through them because I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to revisit this song when I know
Speaker 1: what it's about.
Speaker 2: But that's all we felt that way about Folklore. Ken
Speaker 2: and I kept saying it was so emotional. We were like,
Speaker 2: how did we miss this album? And that the next
Speaker 2: day Ken was listening to it in like our guest
Speaker 2: room at the house, and like I was like, what
Speaker 2: are you listening to? And she goes folklore, she goes,
Speaker 2: I've never gotten to bed happier. The one with the
Speaker 2: house that she was in, right, yes, yes.
Speaker 3: The other one? Uh oh yeah? What was this song
Speaker 3: on the insta story? You did? Oh?
Speaker 1: Shake it off? But you know my motto is shake
Speaker 1: it off and calm down. I mean there's never been
Speaker 1: true a word spoken.
Speaker 2: But any who, but yeah, it's so weird that when
Speaker 2: we go to her show, she's gonna let us come
Speaker 2: on stage, and I know you need to come.
Speaker 3: That's so crazy. I can't wait. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: This is obviously not the truth of the she has manifesting.
Speaker 3: We're putting it out in the universe, right.
Speaker 2: So a couple of things I took away from it.
Speaker 2: One was I've always loved her because of just not her.
Speaker 2: I'm not the best dancer ever out of you talking
Speaker 2: about I'm not.
Speaker 3: Amazing you guys dancers.
Speaker 2: Anyways, I loved it because she always like said, like,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't even know if she said it.
Speaker 2: I read in the Time magazine article that she said
Speaker 2: she wanted to get better. She hired this woman, Mandy Moore,
Speaker 2: who I actually know and used on Dancing with the
Speaker 2: Starship padagraph my contemporary.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: I got to tell you, my sister and I were
Speaker 2: watching it, and my sister is a professional dancer. She
Speaker 2: was feeling herself like she was like so comfortable in
Speaker 2: her body. I've never seen more strutting in my entire life.
Speaker 2: When I was where the hell did I just do
Speaker 2: a game? Where was this weekend Tampa? Were walking into
Speaker 2: the meeting room and I was pretending I was in
Speaker 2: glitterly like.
Speaker 3: Pink boots, don't believe it with them, and she was strutting.
Speaker 2: Also, the memory with all the songs, the memory with
Speaker 2: the dance, I'm blown away.
Speaker 3: I am fascinated.
Speaker 1: And I need to know if somewhere she has a prompter,
Speaker 1: because okay, that's what I want to know.
Speaker 3: And it's not that she wants This is another reason
Speaker 3: when you write your own shit. She's like, uh, of
Speaker 3: course I remember.
Speaker 1: Llais, but after all the other things you're doing right, Also,
Speaker 1: I need to know where.
Speaker 3: For what she might call it?
Speaker 2: Oh, my god, Steve is freaking out, okay about contamination.
Speaker 3: Okay, I love him.
Speaker 2: Contamination of what for formula? So I love him so much.
Speaker 2: She's worried about his best friend. This is what he's
Speaker 2: setting me in the middle of this podcast. Sorry for
Speaker 2: it interrupting.
Speaker 1: Just wanted to make sure you are aware of the
Speaker 1: six hundred and seventy five tho thirty bottles of baby
Speaker 1: formula that were recalled. And I want to make sure
Speaker 1: Mac isn't drinking. I love him so much. I love him,
Speaker 1: so he was calling. That's why he just call his
Speaker 1: best friend.
Speaker 3: It is his best friend. So okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the memory. Also, there's no way in hell she
Speaker 2: can sing every single note. I'm wondering, how do they
Speaker 2: know to turn her mic on on the parts that
Speaker 2: she is? How it is that all this worry shake
Speaker 2: it off?
Speaker 1: Yeah, chick, I was out of breath for the one
Speaker 1: song I was dancing and I wasn't even singing.
Speaker 3: I went to be like, hey, how's it going. It's me.
Speaker 1: I'm the problem. I can't breathe like you also are sick?
Speaker 1: I mean no, but she had to think she was
Speaker 1: sick some nice too. Also, what is the drill with
Speaker 1: the costumes. I feel like she stands there and everybody
Speaker 1: has a job and they're like, step into the boots.
Speaker 3: Okay, we got you go, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: And then fascinating and we will turn the page on
Speaker 1: our Taylor Swift conversation only because there's a lot to
Speaker 1: get to. But I mean I could do this all
Speaker 1: day obviously. Yeah, I want to know what questions you
Speaker 1: guys have. So here's what we should do. We should
Speaker 1: make a really long list of questions and if entire
Speaker 1: Travis the opportunity, we will at our dinner party that
Speaker 1: we're inviting ourselves to that she will be at, we're
Speaker 1: going to play a game. We're going to fold up
Speaker 1: all the questions and we're gonna put them in a hat,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have her draw out the questions and
Speaker 1: answer them for us. She doesn't know how much fun
Speaker 1: she's gonna have with us yet, but this is going
Speaker 1: to be at dinner part.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I.
Speaker 1: Did you see this craze of craze let's take it
Speaker 1: easy that the dollar bills are on the table and
Speaker 1: you're blindfolded and there's mouse traps on the table. Did
Speaker 1: you see this? Game that people are playing. Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: so I have no life. I don't have a life either,
Speaker 1: but this I spread out Taylor Swift's concerts, so I
Speaker 1: have a light. Okay, fair enough, But I've been sick
Speaker 1: for the last two days, so I've been consuming way
Speaker 1: too much on my phone and video, which is another
Speaker 1: thing I want to get to. It's part of my
Speaker 1: outlist Instagram time enough, enough is enough.
Speaker 3: But this, I was happy about this game.
Speaker 1: Let's say you have, like I don't know, ten people over,
Speaker 1: doesn't even have to be ten blindfolds. The guests put
Speaker 1: on the table a bunch of money and mouse traps,
Speaker 1: and you've got to feel your way around. Oh I know,
Speaker 1: but that's the funny part. It's really great. I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. Somebody could really get hurt. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, someone could also get really rich. So I'm
Speaker 1: willing to take the risk. You start throwing a hundred
Speaker 1: dollars bills on those tables in a non scantily clad outfit,
Speaker 1: I'm jumping off.
Speaker 2: Can I wear the pink glittery boots and saunter like
Speaker 2: Taylor does? It's incredible?

Speaker 1: a review. No, I don't need your commentary right now, sir.
Speaker 1: I'm just here trying to get somebody to eat because
Speaker 1: I've just been working all day.
Speaker 3: But thanks send me.
Speaker 2: And I was standing name drop with Baker Mayfield before
Speaker 2: the game, talking because I hadn't seen him for the
Speaker 2: past year, standing.
Speaker 3: There covering him.
Speaker 2: This guy was like, Aaron, come over here, I want
Speaker 2: a picture. And I was just like, am I an animal?
Speaker 2: And a zoo like tapped me on the shoulder. He's like,
Speaker 2: have fun with that one like it? Just I want
Speaker 2: a picture, you know what. I want a lot of things.
Speaker 2: I mean I want a lot of screaming at you.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you need to smile more.
Speaker 3: Be nas hey no.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well this leads perfectly into by the way,
Speaker 1: we'll still get to Max first Christmas. Eventually, this leads
Speaker 1: into I've been doing yoga. Not to brag, twenty years, okay,
Speaker 1: twenty yogi. I've been doing yoga actually longer than that.
Speaker 1: My first yoga class was at the beakerm Yoga Studio
Speaker 1: in Kirkland, Washington, when I was seventeen years old, so
Speaker 1: you do the math. Twenty four years. I've been doing yoga.
Speaker 1: I know the etiquette. I know the standing series. We're
Speaker 1: not having any water till we do the second break
Speaker 1: after the first few poses. I know all the etiquette, okay,
Speaker 1: But I'm not in a beakerm yoga class.
Speaker 3: I'm in a sculpt class, okay.
Speaker 1: And it's an hour and it's upbeat, and it's a
Speaker 1: lot of music, and it's a hot class. But like
Speaker 1: it's just different than like, you know, some of those
Speaker 1: other ones that are very regiment and whatever. There's people
Speaker 1: coming in late. Someone forgot to get a band. They're
Speaker 1: getting up in the middle class getting the band, getting
Speaker 1: you know, different ways.
Speaker 3: They didn't get the weights that were okay.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I like this class is because
Speaker 1: it is not so stricty mic stricterson. So I the
Speaker 1: class starts at nine o'clock or eight o'clock whatever, it
Speaker 1: was gonna be over at nine o'clock, I'm like, I
Speaker 1: gotta leave because I need to get to the other
Speaker 1: side of town. So I need five minutes more before
Speaker 1: that rush comes out. Now we're all putting our weights
Speaker 1: away at the same time. I just need to leave
Speaker 1: the class five minutes.
Speaker 3: Aaray, yeah, yep, everyone's on their mat.
Speaker 1: It's no mistay in time. And I get up and
Speaker 1: the yoga instructor comes over to me and she goes,
Speaker 1: you will not be allowed to leave the class again
Speaker 1: at this time, And like the guy in the bar,
Speaker 1: I went like this. I didn't do this, though. I
Speaker 1: just walked right past her. And you know what I
Speaker 1: wanted to say was, Hey, you're not my mother.
Speaker 3: Lady.
Speaker 1: Remember at the beginning of this class when you said
Speaker 1: set your intentions and this is my practice. Well my
Speaker 1: practice ended five minutes ago. Okay, so my ass is
Speaker 1: leaving this class, and my ass will not be in
Speaker 1: your class again because you do not make me feel
Speaker 1: zen and peaceful. So I just left after fifty five
Speaker 1: minutes of having what I thought was a great workout.
Speaker 3: And now I'm pissed.
Speaker 1: Now I'm doing the opposite of what you wanted me
Speaker 1: to do, which was go out into the world and
Speaker 1: be light and loving and spread my light around. Well,
Speaker 1: guess what, my light is dimmed because of you, lady.
Speaker 1: You and I've got a problem with you. Why are
Speaker 1: you judging me?
Speaker 3: Lady? It's rude.
Speaker 2: I think everyone should watch the Taylor Swift concert and
Speaker 2: then their moods will change. Right.
Speaker 3: Do you think that what I went when Taylor?
Speaker 1: When somebody at Taylor Swift concert had to go up
Speaker 1: and go to the bathroom, did she go, hey, you
Speaker 1: will not be allowed to go to the bathroom again
Speaker 1: at that time.
Speaker 3: No, I swear to God, shake it. I should have
Speaker 3: that's a question for you.
Speaker 2: Pee when we go see her in London and she
Speaker 2: has this on sta go to the bathroom, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it. I am prone to you
Speaker 1: tis to begin with. I will risk my kidneys for her.
Speaker 1: I am not going to the bathroom. I will not
Speaker 1: drink water for three before the concert. I will not
Speaker 1: be drinking anything before the concert.
Speaker 2: No, I'm gonna drink and I am gonna sing, and
Speaker 2: I am gonna flip my hair.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about what we're gonna wear to the show.
Speaker 1: I'm worried about my neck with all the flippant on
Speaker 1: the hair. I mean, my god, my lower love bar
Speaker 1: will never be the same.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about the guy that was rude to
Speaker 2: me at the airport and he was like, you should
Speaker 2: smile war more.
Speaker 3: You know what I should have done.
Speaker 2: I should have turned around, walked to the other side
Speaker 2: of the restaurant, and I should have just like sauntered.
Speaker 3: As a walk in the room. By the way, I
Speaker 3: would have my pants. If you just trump your stuff,
Speaker 3: this is.
Speaker 1: Okay, that'd be the man. Yeah, to be the man.
Speaker 1: I am not into all of these. Anyone that knows
Speaker 1: me knows like I'm like always late to trends. I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: have you seen this new It's like, yeah, lady, we
Speaker 1: saw that four years ago. But I this this trends
Speaker 1: of in and out for New Year's I've been like,
Speaker 1: I do New Year's resolutions, but I'm kind of over that.
Speaker 1: So I am now gonna conform to this in and
Speaker 1: out list. And I don't know if I'm actually doing
Speaker 1: it the right way, but these are my ins and
Speaker 1: my out. So number one is being positive.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Now, I bitch about a lot of things to you
Speaker 1: most of the time, but I'm gonna lead with a
Speaker 1: foot of positivity.
Speaker 3: So when next time I'm in that yoga.
Speaker 1: Class, saunter and that woman, that woman says that I
Speaker 1: am gonna do the same thing, I'm just gonna smile
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna grab my mat and I'm gonna moon.
Speaker 3: Walk out of that place.
Speaker 1: Instead of being mad, I'm just gonna be like, she
Speaker 1: must be I'm.
Speaker 2: Freaking do that walk through life this year and see
Speaker 2: where it gets me, because i gotta tell you, she
Speaker 2: was the most successful person I've ever like loved.
Speaker 3: But that's that's what I mean.
Speaker 1: So why don't we start doing that instead of like
Speaker 1: our immediate reaction is like to get pissed, Let's just
Speaker 1: saunter and smile. I like the point, By the way,
Speaker 1: I have a funny story. I've got to say this
Speaker 1: going back to the positive thing. I heard somebody say
Speaker 1: one time, like, hey, we need to talk about the
Speaker 1: outfa you're wearing, and the woman goes, no name, We
Speaker 1: need to talk about the outfit you're wearing. And that's
Speaker 1: where I'm to start doing. I'm gonna just start flipping everything.
Speaker 1: So instead of the yoga lady doing that, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: saunter and be like, no, we need to talk about
Speaker 1: you pacing your class better.
Speaker 3: I'll be the man and then.
Speaker 2: Walk out nice like when you're dancwering and she's like nice.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's one of my inn Also being open minded.
Speaker 1: I think that goes with positivity and also saying no
Speaker 1: instead of feeling like I have to go to whatever
Speaker 1: thing that I'm not supposed to or obligated to go to,
Speaker 1: I'm to say no more. And also that's in and
Speaker 1: dressing up on planes. Here's what here's on my outlets.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see him. I don't want to
Speaker 1: see the not dressing up, but not your pajamas. I
Speaker 1: do not want to see these people get on in
Speaker 1: plaid pajamas and like their slippers, and I'm like, come on,
Speaker 1: like remember the good old days of like people actually
Speaker 1: like got ready.
Speaker 3: You don't have to go so extreme.
Speaker 1: I just don't want you to like roll in your
Speaker 1: pajamas and you haven't showered and I have to sit next.
Speaker 3: To you for five hours. It's just like gross. It's
Speaker 3: just hygiene, because like the hygiene.
Speaker 2: I'm not wearing pajamas, but I will tell you my
Speaker 2: outfit is a sweatshirt and leggings because this is what
Speaker 2: I run into. I'm wearing compression pants underneath my pants. No,
Speaker 2: that's fine, you can't wear those with jeans.
Speaker 3: Or a slack, that's like presentable.
Speaker 1: I just meeting these people that like look like they
Speaker 1: just rolled straight out of bed, like this is still
Speaker 1: a public place, like or if like you're in the
Speaker 1: grocery store and you're strolling around in your pajamas, Like
Speaker 1: what are we doing?
Speaker 3: You need to smile more? You need to smile.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's my inns. Do you have any things that
Speaker 1: are going to be in for you this year? What
Speaker 1: do you focus on?
Speaker 3: In for me?
Speaker 2: Is what I always say. I would like to start
Speaker 2: watching my mouth a little bit. It's unattractive and gross.
Speaker 2: I listened to it on the podcast I'm I'm discussing
Speaker 2: about myself. The out is taking advice from people like
Speaker 2: smiling more, literally I wrote that, and they are two
Speaker 2: cents when guess what, I'm already my like toughest critics,
Speaker 2: so I don't need it very much, and being nicer
Speaker 2: to myself, taking a little bit more credit for things.
Speaker 2: I'm very self deprecating, making jokes. My kid doesn't know me.
Speaker 2: He doesn't, but you know it'll be exciting when he does.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you just did it, You.
Speaker 3: Just did it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this has been a hard year with all that
Speaker 2: stuff and not feeling insecure about all the things I
Speaker 2: don't know. So listen, it's a journey. I'm gonna saunter.
Speaker 2: I am going to find some boot like healed boots,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to walk around and just pretend I'm
Speaker 2: at her show.
Speaker 1: I love that Aron, And give yourself some grace, right
Speaker 1: like she died thirty years ago. Just be patient with yourself.
Speaker 1: Think about what happened to you this past year. I mean,
Speaker 1: my god, you had a child like something that you
Speaker 1: worked a decade to have. It's you're not gonna know everything,
Speaker 1: And like, how long have we been in these jobs
Speaker 1: twenty plus years and we still question what we're doing everything.
Speaker 3: All the time.
Speaker 1: So it's like, give yourself some grace and I'm with
Speaker 1: you on that be And here's the other thing too,
Speaker 1: And you think I would have learned this a long
Speaker 1: time ago. And I'm pretty good about like not getting
Speaker 1: consumed by negative stuff because we wouldn't last in this
Speaker 1: position if we if we were. But also, like, I
Speaker 1: don't even know you. Why do I care about your opinion?
Speaker 1: I don't I care about the opinion of the people
Speaker 1: that I love and respect and our whether their bosses
Speaker 1: or mentors, or colleagues, like, I care about those people.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna focus.
Speaker 2: So be real careful when you're throwing stones at people,
Speaker 2: Just be really really careful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just gonna oh, number one on my list
Speaker 1: is fake nice. You know what I'm not doing. I'm
Speaker 1: not doing the fake nice thing anymore. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not like, oh, it's so good to see. Actually it's
Speaker 1: not good. I'm not gonna say anything. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: say I'm gonna go back to the old adage. If
Speaker 1: we got nothing nice to say, then I've said nothing
Speaker 1: at all. And that, yeah, is the place that I'm
Speaker 1: going to live in. And I'm going to just be
Speaker 1: a little miss positive and not in a fake way,
Speaker 1: but just positive about our own space, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I mean?
