I love hearing from the ban animals. 66 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 4: Hey Banana boys. So, for years, my husband and I 67 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 4: have been planning to move to Colorado from. 68 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 5: The East coast. 69 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 4: Cool We've been saving up for years so that when 70 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 4: we get there, we have a nice emergency fund to 71 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 4: fall back on. But we've already pushed this plan back 72 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 4: for years, so we decided this upcoming year had to 73 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 4: be the year. I started my job in twenty nineteen, 74 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 4: and since COVID started, I have worked from home, which 75 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 4: is great because I had a baby during COVID, so 76 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 4: I'm able to stay home with her keep earning a 77 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 4: paycheck for years. Whenever my boss heard about our plan 78 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 4: to moved Colorado, he agreed I can continue working for 79 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 4: him in Colorado because. 80 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: It's your working remotely. 81 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 4: It's not much different until last week when he asked 82 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 4: if we could have a meeting, and in that meeting, 83 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 4: he told me that he changed his mind. So once 84 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 4: we moved Colorado, I will no longer have a job anymore. 85 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 4: So now we are more terrified than ever to make 86 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 4: this move. So I could really use. 87 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 3: A pep pep talk. 88 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 4: Sorry got cut off. I was just saying I could 89 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 4: really use a pep talk right now because I am 90 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 4: spiraling bonus advice question. What do we say to friends 91 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: and family who say we are making a mistake? 92 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: Thank you, great, great question. I love this also high 93 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 2: stakes question. We're starting off right away. 94 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, and there every article on every online publication is 95 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: like it's two days a week, but it's going to 96 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: be back to five, five days a week. And that 97 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 3: makes no sense. 98 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: It makes five sense. 99 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 3: Anybody listening to this, I bet half the people listening 100 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 3: to Bonus Soude number whatever right now are probably sitting 101 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 3: in a cubicle, bored out of their minds, just killing time. 102 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're just killing time. I remember I would go 103 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 2: into work, I would do I remember Cow was like, 104 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 2: how many minutes of work do I actually do in 105 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: a day? And I counted it. It was ten minutes 106 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: of work that I actually did for the company, and 107 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: everything else was my I was writing sketches. Yeah, yeah, I. 108 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 3: Mean, they're sure there is a thing where if you 109 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: are certain kind of professions, you have a problem, you 110 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 3: turn to somebody, they help you. You do learn, everybody 111 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 3: rises together. That's in the dream situation. But so many 112 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 3: people just feel so unsatisfied with their job. So I 113 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: guess for this one, where did she say she was 114 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: from the East coast coastast coast? Okay, well, Kurt and 115 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,679 Speaker 3: I are also from the East coast. If we talked 116 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: about ten to twenty five times in the last three years. 117 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: And Colorado is a very beautiful state. It is an 118 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: incredible place to live. 119 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: I think it will change genius move. I mean, you've 120 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 2: gotta do it. No job or no job, you gotta 121 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: do it. There's no especially if you here's the here's 122 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 2: here's the one reason that you have to do it, 123 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: because if you don't, anything bad that happens from you 124 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 2: from now on. You're gonna think if we had moved 125 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: to Colorado, this wouldn't have happened. And you can't let 126 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 2: that that seep into your life. It would just ruin 127 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: your life. You have to do it now, there's no choice. 128 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 3: Also, that seems kind of crazy that your boss would 129 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 3: threaten to fire you if you've been working remotely and 130 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 3: now it's going to continue. This is also plays into 131 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 3: the advice of never say anything to anybody about anything. 132 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 3: Just you should have just moved and kept that room. 133 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 3: You should have just made your next room look exactly 134 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 3: like the room you currently work remotely out of and 135 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 3: be like, no, all there, I can't come in today, 136 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 3: bit of a stomach issue, and then just rapidly fly 137 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 3: back on the red eye but Colorado is so beautiful 138 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 3: one they might have a big foot. I don't know 139 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 3: if you saw yesesterday, Kurt, but I was laughing so hard. 140 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: I'm on the side of that's bigfoot, even though deep 141 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: down I know it's not. 142 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: I know it walks a lot like a man, and 143 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: then and its legs look a lot like a man's legs. 144 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: But it is funny. But it is funny that that 145 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 2: man would just be walking around in a bigfoot costume 146 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: on the side of a mountain at that specific time. Uh, 147 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: that's what I can't get out of my head. So everyone, 148 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: So you guys know what we're talking about. There was 149 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: it was a sighting. It was on a steam train, 150 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: so it was like a like a tourist steam train 151 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 2: in Colorado, and they're just a hillside and there is 152 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: definitively a bigfoot. They have video. He's just walking a 153 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: lot and then he sees the train all of a 154 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: sudden quote unquote, and then like ducks down. But then 155 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: when he ducks down, it's like he is perfectly camouflaged. 156 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: It's kind of amazing. 157 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 3: That's the most convincing part of an otherwise kind of 158 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: silly video. Yeah. Also there's a thing about moving. So 159 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: Kurt and I are obviously say move, you should move. Yeah, 160 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 3: it's a huge decision.

Here's my right off the bat, here's 220 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 2: my go to feeling about. 221 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 3: This getting in there. 222 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: And I don't know if this exists in our Australia, 223 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 2: but in America there are two separate places in America, 224 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: you can do this Lake Powell or Lake Havasu. Lake 225 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 2: Havasu's little trash here. Lake Powell is is more remote, 226 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: and basically they are desert areas, so I'm assuming maybe 227 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 2: there is one like this in Australia. They are desert 228 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: areas that have they put up a dam and they 229 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: just flooded an entire valley and they've flooded it and 230 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: it looks very dramatic. So you have these desert rock 231 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 2: canyons descending right into water, and the main pastime there 232 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 2: is to rent houseboats. And you rent a houseboat and 233 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 2: it's like this huge boat and they have like everything 234 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: you could want. They got a hot tub, they got 235 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 2: a water slide, they got like three like two three 236 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 2: four bedroom ones. They got uh up top on the 237 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 2: second floor. You have like an area to like eat 238 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: outside and everything. 239 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 3: So here's some tanning platform exactly. 240 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 2: So you and your fiance have your own houseboat. You 241 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: tell everybody else who's coming, they get their own houseboat. 242 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 2: And basically the way it works is you get a houseboat, 243 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: you pilot it out, you choose a canyon, and then 244 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 2: there's like a place is to dock it in the canyon, 245 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: and then you have a water ski that off the back, 246 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 2: jet ski off the back of it or whatever like that. 247 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 2: I understand maybe that's not your thing to go jet skiing. 248 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 2: But then all the at time of the wedding, it's 249 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 2: in the middle of the lake, and then all of 250 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 2: the houseboats come together. Stop it, siri. And then and 251 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 2: then all of the houseboats come together, everyone boards your houseboat, 252 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 2: wedding happens on the roof, and then the reception is 253 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: on somebody else's houseboat. And then when you guys are 254 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: ready to like just jet off to your to your 255 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 2: you know, nuptials, you're eating, or to try and intercourse 256 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 2: for the very first time, you then just bode away 257 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 2: and leave everyone there by themselves. So that's my pitch, right, 258 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: It's very complicated. 259 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 3: Not really renting a house boats a great pitch because 260 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 3: everybody will enjoy it. And then you become a little island. 261 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 3: You can name it wedding island. Yes, that's great. I 262 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 3: think I'm gonna go with Kurt's advice. But then say, 263 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 3: if you want to give this small gathering, if you 264 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 3: guys are gonna say vowels to each other, which I 265 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 3: assume happens at most weddings, even second winnings. Yeah, write 266 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 3: all the vowels so that they're stand alone, and cut 267 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 3: them into pieces of paper and put them in a 268 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 3: bag or a hat, and have all your guests shout 269 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 3: out the individual vows for both of you, so that 270 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 3: your vowels to each other are being said by the 271 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 3: people who know you and love you. 272 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: Ooh, that's pretty cool. 273 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 3: You know, just a little val bingo.

When I was thirteen. 346 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 3: I was a no at all. I wanted to talk 347 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 3: about everything. You know. I'd read one book and watched 348 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 3: one documentary and knew some stuff. So yeah, when you're young, 349 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: you like to pontificate. 350 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a hard question.

You want the banana's. 352 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: Answer, Yeah, of course I do. 353 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 2: There's a there's this little thing that my kids found 354 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 2: in a bush. Pogetura and h and I mean, it's 355 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: the craziest thing for them to have found. Olive just 356 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 2: reached her hand into a bush in a parking lot 357 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 2: and pulled out this button that just when you press it, 358 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 2: it says no in various different ways. 359 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 3: That's an incredible discovery. 360 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 2: It was an incredible discovery I have since I think 361 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 2: thrown it away because the amount that it was used 362 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 2: was unbearable. It was just like it was eight different 363 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: ways of saying no, and it'll be like, no, I 364 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 2: said no, and then it's just like, what are you 365 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: talking about? 366 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: No? 367 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 2: And it's a very funny voice. I think you need to, 368 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 2: first off, explain that to your husband that you feel 369 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 2: this way, because otherwise it's going to be rude. But 370 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: I think he'll understand that sometimes you got to to 371 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 2: do so you can just hit the no button or 372 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: if there's another button, there's probably another button that just 373 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 2: goes this is delightful, But I've gotta go. 374 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 3: I mean, that is so funny to record, have him 375 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 3: record it, Have him record this was delightful, But I 376 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 3: gotta go on your phone or device and then you 377 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 3: can play the conversation yes, because then it's him telling 378 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 3: himself to wrap it up, that's. 379 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 2: Fun or it's him saying and in conclusion. 380 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 3: Oh god, and punch it, because it really is true. 381 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 3: If you had your. 382 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: Phone, you always have it with you. 383 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 3: You always have it with you, and like, it's funny 384 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 3: that you said that, because my first thought with this 385 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 3: was to turn on voice to text and then just 386 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 3: show him your phone screen of like a five thousand 387 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 3: word essay that he's just said to you and be like, 388 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,959 Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep going and I'll finish this later, but 389 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 3: i'll read this tonight. But that's even funnier if you go, Babe, 390 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 3: sometimes you're a little long winded.

It 397 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 3: goes viral every once in a while, but it was 398 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 3: like it was like an older dad, I think in 399 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 3: like Wisconsin or something, and he he meets his buddies 400 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 3: at the bar and he prints out conversation topics.

It's it's just like it's really sweet too. 410 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 3: This older guy just being like, did you catch the 411 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 3: game on Sunday charcoal versus propane? What kind of grilling 412 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 3: do you guys like to do? Big sale down at 413 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 3: you know, best Buy this weekend? And he's just breaking 414 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 3: up because men are just want to sit look at 415 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 3: a TV and drink and they don't want to converse. 416 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 3: This is the opposite of that problem. 417 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: Which is a nice problem to have, but it is. 418 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: And also I think this is and you can always 419 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 2: reassure yourself that you're doing the right thing, because if 420 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 2: you feel this way, people that know him less well 421 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 2: than you feel this way. Times one thousand, and it 422 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: is hurting him in his life. You are doing him 423 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 2: a favor. I know a person who does this. He 424 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 2: does not step talking, and at a certain point you 425 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 2: get mad at him, and I should not. I should 426 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: not be mad at him. He is literally just doesn't 427 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 2: have the filter. He's when the filters were installed about 428 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: the awareness when do people want me to stop talking? 429 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 2: He just never got that filter. But it makes me 430 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 2: angry and it makes me not want to hang out. 431 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: So if it's happening to you, it's happening to his friends, 432 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 2: and it's hurting him in his real life. 433 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 3: That's true. So and also just let him listen to this, 434 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 3: Just play this segment for him and say, you know, 435 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 3: just if you got to do this, maybe maybe there's 436 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 3: another club, maybe there's an organization. Maybe this guy needs 437 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 3: to find somebody with more shared interest that they can 438 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 3: just go and sit and just talk about whatever nonsense 439 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 3: they want to do. And it doesn't mean anything's wrong. 440 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 3: Sometimes you just don't want to chat. That's very normal. 441 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 2: Yes exactly that there's no insult given. But man, I 442 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 2: also love you.

But I 477 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 8: have been skating with them since April of twenty twenty two. 478 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 8: I'm just closing out my first season, and you know, 479 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 8: have really really been enjoying it. The problem is I 480 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 8: live in Long Beach and I drive an hour down 481 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 8: to practice. 482 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: Every time we have practice. 483 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 8: It's I go twice a week, so it's an hour 484 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 8: down there, it's two hours for practice, it's an hour back, 485 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 8: and it ends up being, you know, a four hour 486 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 8: commitment twice a week. My husband kind of would never 487 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 8: say it, but I think that he feels like it's 488 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 8: a lot of time that I'm spending with this, and 489 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 8: he's very very supportive, but I just I don't know, 490 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 8: I feel very guilty because of how much time away 491 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 8: from the house that I'm spending doing this. 492 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 2: And so that's her question.

I would 496 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 2: say as someone who goes surfing, which takes minimum four hours, 497 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 2: minimum four hours, and I love it so much. Honestly, 498 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 2: I don't go twice a week, but that's only because 499 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 2: I have kids. If I didn't have kids, I would 500 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 2: totally go twice a week, of course, And I know 501 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 2: the guilt. I know that guilt. However, the other answer 502 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 2: is if you stop doing things that you truly truly love, 503 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 2: you simply stop being a good partner. Like you're you're 504 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 2: more testy, you're more antsy. Sure, if you're stopping something 505 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: you really love just because it takes up too much time, 506 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 2: might say with you would just go the other direction, 507 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: still do what you love, but then also be like 508 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 2: all right, like on the weekends, like we're just doing 509 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 2: what you want to do, You're like, what do you 510 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 2: want to do? Like, let's do some like like time together. 511 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 2: That's meaningful and not just bullshit time after work where 512 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 2: we just watch TV. You know, that's the time that 513 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 2: I'm gone, very good bullshit TV time, Like, now, lets 514 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,959 Speaker 2: you and I make sure that we have quality time together. 515 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 3: But I mean, that's just actually great advice. What you 516 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 3: just gave is very good advice. You're trying to save 517 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 3: this couple, and I love that. It's interesting too, because 518 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 3: since she started to bond with her sister and then 519 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 3: her sister's losing interests, is there something closer that you 520 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 3: two can get into together that is equally thrilling to me? 521 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 3: It's like, is there a skydiving club nearby? Is there? 522 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:29,479 Speaker 3: But also is there? 523 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 2: Long Beach seems like it is. There's a roller Derby 524 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 2: team on every corner, Like Long Beach seems like it's 525 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 2: roller derby sex. 526 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 3: Mostly it's mostly roller Derby's people are mostly doing roller Derby. 527 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 2: That's I mean, I've been to Long Beach, you know, 528 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 2: like there's a there's it definitely seems like roller Derby country. 529 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 3: So I was there. I think it was the night 530 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 3: after you did your Gondola comedy show. I went out 531 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 3: with Courtney Parosso and Natalie Palomides. I think we're Yeah, 532 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 3: Natalie performed at Courtney King down and we went to 533 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 3: that local bar down there that's like I don't know what, 534 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 3: it's one of the dollar bills everywhere, like every surfy 535 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 3: beach ball. But that was the night they were like 536 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 3: the bar twmers like do you do shots? And I 537 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 3: was like sure, why And she's like, there's a new 538 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 3: company and it's from here and it's called Screwball and 539 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 3: it's peanut butter flavored whiskey. Do you want to try it? 540 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, that sounds really bad, but 541 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 3: of course I want to try that. And of course, 542 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 3: to anybody who's never had this, it tastes like peanut butter, 543 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 3: which is crazy. And I think it is from Long Beach, 544 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 3: and that makes perfect sense because what alcohol goes better 545 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 3: with everybody roller derbying all the time or occasionally gondoliering 546 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 3: down some weird canal. Then Screwball peanut butter whiskey. We 547 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 3: got to get a sponsorship. My advice to you is, well, one, 548 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 3: I'm the worst person asked this question too, because four 549 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 3: hours of solitude every two days seems like the greatest 550 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 3: thing in world. Yeah, I'm like, you could leave. If somebody, 551 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 3: I mean, in any situation. If it's like, hey, I'm 552 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 3: gonna be gone for eight hours this week, do whatever 553 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,719 Speaker 3: you want, I'm like, ah, leilujah, this is paradise. 554 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice. Time apart makes the heart grow fonder. 555 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 3: Does it? Classic? I think you should do this. I'm 556 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 3: also going to give not that bananas of advice. Okay, 557 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna give real advice. I say, do it for 558 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 3: one more year, and that's it. I say tell him, Hey, 559 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 3: I know my sister's losing interest. I know it's a 560 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 3: pain in the butt. I'm going to do one more 561 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 3: season and then I'm just gonna give it everything I 562 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 3: got and that'll be good for me, and then move 563 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 3: on and find a new interest that's maybe I don't know, 564 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 3: an hour drive away. That would be my advice. Squeeze 565 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 3: it because then at the end of that second season, 566 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 3: if you're like, but I love it, then you have 567 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 3: a different conversation. 568 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 2: Exactly right. If it's become such a part of your life, 569 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 2: then then it's like a different conversation. 570 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 3: Putting a ticking clock on it will make you appreciate 571 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 3: it more. It'll make you it'll make it seem like 572 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 3: there's an end for everybody, and I think that's good. 573 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 3: Putting a ticking clock on things is excellent. 574 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 2: This is here's another one, and drink. 575 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 3: Some screwball with your husband, do some screwball shocks, screw 576 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 3: around a little. 577 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 5: Hey, guys, this is DOM. I have a quick question 578 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 5: or ask for advice. 579 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 9: I joined a team a new workplace and the team 580 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 9: is entirely remote, and we're trying to put together some 581 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 9: ideas for team bonding. They could be online and totally 582 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 9: remote in the bonding. 583 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 5: It could also be that maybe we travel somewhere. 584 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: It's kind of all over the place. 585 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 5: Most of the team is in California or Seattle. One 586 00:31:55,360 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 5: person is in North Carolina. And I'm trying to come 587 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 5: with some ideas beyond sort of standard, like let's do 588 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 5: icebreakers or play a video game online. Do you guys 589 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 5: have any suggestions about what I could throw. 590 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: To the team. 591 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 2: Oh, I mean I got an idea of it.

And 604 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 3: it was it was so simple, and it was but 605 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 3: I mean, we were truly going nowhere, and I was 606 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 3: alone at the time. But it was fun. When you'd 607 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 3: get the package and you didn't know which one was 608 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 3: coming back to you'd like put it together and do it. 609 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 3: That is so standard and easy. I wonder if you 610 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 3: could take some sort of meaningful team photo whatever and 611 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 3: turn it into a kick ass a puzzle that you 612 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 3: send around to everybody, and then on top of that, 613 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 3: everybody meets in the middle of the country and parties hard. 614 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 3: But that's what I'm always going to say about everything. 615 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 2: Yeah New Orleans. 616 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, meet in New Orleans and go really hard. 617 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 2: Here's my pitch. If everybody think most people are in California, 618 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: one person's in Seattle, one person on the East Coast. 619 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 2: That East Coast person's gonna have to fly on no 620 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 2: matter what. 621 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 3: So yeah, no matter what. 622 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 2: Everybody flies to a convenient place in California. Let's say 623 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 2: it's Los Angeles. People live near Los Angeles. Sure, the 624 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: guy from Seattle comes down. 625 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 3: You bored. 626 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 2: The West Coast am track. Sure, Oh the overnighter that 627 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,720 Speaker 2: goes up to Seattle. So you take a three day 628 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 2: trip all together on the same train. 629 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 3: To three days. Yes, yeah, it's a. 630 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 2: Weekend, right, So you get on it on a Friday, 631 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 2: you get off in Seattle on a Sunday. Everybody flies 632 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,760 Speaker 2: home except for the Seattle person who just stays in Seattle. 633 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 2: So a, you got bunks. You got people bunking in 634 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 2: different rooms, right, and then you everybody's having meals together. 635 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,280 Speaker 3: That sounds pretty fun. Yeah. 636 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 2: There also can be like meeting rooms as well. I 637 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 2: think where people could get in. It depends on how 638 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 2: big the group is as well. If it's huge, then 639 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 2: this wouldn't work. But if it's like when. 640 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 3: You get breaks, yeah, people do some stuff and you 641 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 3: get to go to your own section of the train, 642 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 3: get away from each other and come back together. Because 643 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 3: then all the stuff you're doing within there, you're watching 644 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 3: beautiful scenery or perhaps a bigfoot walk by. That's a 645 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 3: fun idea. 646 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then when it stops, you guys can get off, 647 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,400 Speaker 2: go see the city or do like a like you know, 648 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 2: sit down and do work or something. I don't know 649 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 2: what you do, but that's a pitch. 650 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 3: My buddy went to a like a dinner party where 651 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 3: they were going to play My you know, the game, 652 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 3: and the person that invited him as kind of like 653 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 3: an important person or whatever, like sort of it was 654 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 3: like a cool invite.
