Speaker 1: This is Tape twenty with Maddie and Kenzie Ziggler and
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio Podcast. Hi guys, Hey Hey Kenzie, Heydy,
Speaker 1: Hey Girl, Hey garl. We literally I think we've started
Speaker 1: now a few episodes with hey girl, Like, could that
Speaker 1: be any more of us? I know? Literally, Sorry, it's
Speaker 1: a little embarrassing. Um well, um, can you believe that?
Speaker 1: It's literally the end of the whoa can I speak today?
Speaker 1: It's the end of the year. I know, it went
Speaker 1: by so fast. I feel like it was just my birthday.
Speaker 1: I know, even my birthday was in September and it's
Speaker 1: already like been a minute since that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's flying by, and I'm happy that we're entering a
Speaker 1: new year. It's also just so weird that literally, you
Speaker 1: know how like everyone has the memes about like when
Speaker 1: COVID hit and then it's the months in We're going
Speaker 1: by so slow until it hit like a certain point,
Speaker 1: and then it just fast forwarded through the whole year.
Speaker 1: And then this whole year went by so fast. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you feel this way, but I feel
Speaker 1: like the year goes by so slow in the beginning
Speaker 1: of the year, and then when it hits like summer
Speaker 1: so fast, of course, and I feel like summer, of course,
Speaker 1: it hits fast at summer, Like summer should be the
Speaker 1: time when everything slows down. I know I really should. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say, uh, it's extremely exciting. I think we
Speaker 1: have so much to look forward to this year, this
Speaker 1: upcoming year. I mean, like we have projects coming out,
Speaker 1: which is like an exciting thing, but even just like
Speaker 1: more growth, just things to like take with us as
Speaker 1: we move into the new year. I feel like we've
Speaker 1: always been kind of like we haven't really done as
Speaker 1: many New Year's resolutions in the past, but like this year,
Speaker 1: I definitely want to go into the new year with
Speaker 1: some thoughts and just some like ideas and things. What
Speaker 1: about you? For sure? I And I feel like this
Speaker 1: is my New Year's resolution every single year, but like
Speaker 1: I wanna get back into working out consistently, like I
Speaker 1: want to eat healthy um, and I feel like that's
Speaker 1: just one of my resolutions every single year and it
Speaker 1: never happens. But I feel like this year I would
Speaker 1: definitely to stick to it. I feel like I'm more
Speaker 1: well we can hold each other accountable because that's also
Speaker 1: one of my New Year's resolutions. So if we do
Speaker 1: it together, then we'll be set. Mannie. You literally have
Speaker 1: you have flower in your pantry and that's about it. Flower,
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Like what am I trying to say?
Speaker 1: You only eat healthy healthy? So that's not true. I
Speaker 1: just I'm still I have lived in my apartment for
Speaker 1: a year and I'm still confused on what to buy
Speaker 1: because what I was doing initially was I was buying
Speaker 1: too much and then I wasn't eating it in time,
Speaker 1: and then it was going bad. So then I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's just like like lessen everything. And then now I
Speaker 1: feel like I don't have enough. And it's not because
Speaker 1: I don't want to eat It's not because I want
Speaker 1: to eat healthy. It's because well, I do want to
Speaker 1: eat healthy, but it's because I literally just can't figure
Speaker 1: out the right balance of like what's enough food for
Speaker 1: essentially two people in a week? You know what I'm
Speaker 1: saying exactly exactly? Is there something that is always on
Speaker 1: your list of resolutions that you haven't kind of like
Speaker 1: pulled through with, Like is there something that you've had
Speaker 1: in your mind for a while and you've wanted to
Speaker 1: make that change or wanting you know, wanting to like
Speaker 1: do it, but you haven't. I mean, I feel like
Speaker 1: I already talked about that, like I I've every single year.
Speaker 1: It's like work out, eat healthy, like stay on a
Speaker 1: you know, on a consistent schedule with that, because I
Speaker 1: feel like it will just make me feel so much
Speaker 1: better about myself. But I feel like my new Year's resolution,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a resolution, but I want
Speaker 1: to like get rid of everything in my closet and
Speaker 1: just like I'd love to get new clothes. I feel
Speaker 1: like that will just like be such a great way
Speaker 1: to start the new year or like a fresh start,
Speaker 1: you know. Kenzie and I like how many times a
Speaker 1: year do we do it? Definitely like at least five
Speaker 1: times six times in a year, we like literally purge
Speaker 1: our entire closet and we usually will do a few
Speaker 1: items on deepop but then we uh donate all of
Speaker 1: our clothes to like the Homeless Youth, which has been
Speaker 1: amazing and they're so grateful for it, and it's just
Speaker 1: like a beautiful exchange that happens. But I feel like
Speaker 1: we always are like we always hold onto a few
Speaker 1: pieces and we're like, Okay, we're gonna wear that obviously,
Speaker 1: like there's I've had the same like three tank tops
Speaker 1: that I've had since I was like maybe, and you're like,
Speaker 1: not get rid of it, and I it's I will say, though,
Speaker 1: I have an excuse right now, especially because it's like
Speaker 1: the holidays, it's getting colder, We're going to Pittsburgh. It's like,
Speaker 1: I literally there's a few sweaters that I'm like, I
Speaker 1: will never wear this unless I'm in Pittsburgh, so I
Speaker 1: should probably hold onto it. And that's my use. Well
Speaker 1: that's good. Well, the thing is, I got rid of
Speaker 1: all of my sweaters, so I don't have any. I
Speaker 1: don't have any winter You definitely need to buy some
Speaker 1: before the end of the year. Shopping is always fun.
Speaker 1: You did that on purpose? I don't tell my mother that, Okay, So, Kenzie,
Speaker 1: what was overall? Like, how would you say one for you?
Speaker 1: Like realistically, realistically, I feel like was my favorite year
Speaker 1: so far ever, like ever ever? I have, Like I
Speaker 1: have good friends surrounding me. I have like we have
Speaker 1: a really good relationship. Mom and I have a really
Speaker 1: good relationship. You have a dog. I haven't. I have
Speaker 1: my own dog. Like I feel like a good boyfriend,
Speaker 1: have a good boyfriend, Like I feel like I have
Speaker 1: my life in order currently, and I feel like good
Speaker 1: for you, I don't know, I just feel like I've
Speaker 1: been really happy this year. That's great. You can probably
Speaker 1: see that too. Yeah, you've definitely like you've definitely gone
Speaker 1: through waves as we all do, a like anxiety and
Speaker 1: just panic attacks and things. And you haven't had his
Speaker 1: money this year, I've noticed. But I feel like that's
Speaker 1: different for you. Huh, this is not your favorite year? Well,
Speaker 1: it was my favorite year in certain ways, Like I
Speaker 1: had some really good highs, but I had some low
Speaker 1: lows that I've never had before. But you know, I
Speaker 1: feel like we all go through that, and it just
Speaker 1: happened to hit me at that point. I think like
Speaker 1: the momentum of picking up traveling again was a lot
Speaker 1: for me. Um to go from all of us being
Speaker 1: in lockdown and then quarantine and like all of that
Speaker 1: to staying at home every day too. Then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, Okay, your schedules picked up really fast. You're
Speaker 1: going to go to like Paris, You're going to Milan,
Speaker 1: You're going to New York, and then I went to
Speaker 1: Vancouver and then I went to Vegas, all within the
Speaker 1: span of that was like consistent, and I think my
Speaker 1: body just kind of like shut down and I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: you need to relax. But other than that, I would
Speaker 1: say my year was really amazing because I moved into
Speaker 1: my first apartment, I've got some really amazing jobs, I
Speaker 1: have some amazing movies coming out at the end of
Speaker 1: this year and the beginning of next and my obviously
Speaker 1: my baby dog. He is the best thing to ever happen.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there was I mean I think like I
Speaker 1: think that's everyone that's like, Ye're always like every year,
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh yeah, there was great moments and bad moments, right,
Speaker 1: and this here wasn't my best year ever, but I
Speaker 1: would say, like there were so many good moments in it. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel the same. I mean, like, overall it was
Speaker 1: my best year. But at the same time, like, of course,
Speaker 1: you are teenagers. Everyone's going to go through ups and downs.
Speaker 1: Like whatever, Um, what is something you accomplished this year
Speaker 1: that you're the most proud of? Mm hmmm, something that
Speaker 1: I would have done this year, or something that's coming
Speaker 1: out this year, or just any accomplishment that like, wow,
Speaker 1: this is a hard question. Wow, this is really hard.
Speaker 1: Now I'm thinking of mine and I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, we did this, we did this podcast.
Speaker 1: That was a huge accomplishment. We've always wanted to do
Speaker 1: this and where we finally did it. And I feel
Speaker 1: like we've had a blast doing it as well. We're
Speaker 1: acting like this is the end. Guys. We have so
Speaker 1: much more like sparewell, this has been great by guys.
Speaker 1: We've done six episodes. Piece out you never know, Um well,
Speaker 1: I mean you're you're coming out with movies. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: that wasn't like that. That That's why I'm confused, because
Speaker 1: when I'm most proud of is the projects that are
Speaker 1: coming out at the end of this year, but I
Speaker 1: did not film them this year, right, Well, I feel
Speaker 1: like that's how every movie goes. Maybe like I accomplished
Speaker 1: living in my first apartment. That's great, that was like,
Speaker 1: that's a real that was a big moment. That was
Speaker 1: it was a lot moving out on your own. But
Speaker 1: I've had a very successful time. What about you. I
Speaker 1: know you're having a hard time thinking up in that
Speaker 1: little brain, its brain, You're very smart. Um, I think
Speaker 1: maybe like this sounds so stupid, but maybe like getting
Speaker 1: my driver's license, Like I feel like That was a
Speaker 1: huge moment because obviously you got your license, you moved out,
Speaker 1: like peace out. Um. But it was like very hard
Speaker 1: for mom too, let go of me and like let
Speaker 1: me get my driver's license. Um. But now I feel
Speaker 1: like it's just so awesome because I feel like it's
Speaker 1: like free therapy in a way, like screaming to music
Speaker 1: in your car, like it's it's the best feeling in
Speaker 1: the world. I love driving by myself. It's like that's
Speaker 1: like one of the best forms of therapy a thousand percent.
Speaker 1: When people ask like tips, like what are good ways
Speaker 1: to get rid of not necessarily get rid of, but
Speaker 1: help lessen your anxiety or your your stress or whatever,
Speaker 1: I always say, go on a drive and listen to
Speaker 1: music and just like and just cry. As bonus points
Speaker 1: if it's raining outside, oh my god, true, that just
Speaker 1: makes it really depressing. But you feel like you're in
Speaker 1: a music video at the same time. But but like,
Speaker 1: when there's depressing music and you want to cry, it's
Speaker 1: the best best feeling ever. You usual need to let
Speaker 1: it out on a different kind of like I guess topic,
Speaker 1: how do you think you could improve your relationship with
Speaker 1: yourself for next year? That's like a deep question. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like I know how you could.
Speaker 1: I think you could be a little nicer to yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I was trying to think of what to say.
Speaker 1: But I feel like I'm definitely super hard on myself.
Speaker 1: I mean everyone is, especially when it comes to like
Speaker 1: self love around your body and your image. I feel
Speaker 1: like there's so many negative feelings that you have towards it.
Speaker 1: And hey, I do too as well, like we both do.
Speaker 1: But I just wish you could see like yourself the
Speaker 1: way that I see yourself, because you're so beautiful and amazing.
Speaker 1: Don't make you almost made me cry every single episode.
Speaker 1: This is so stuff. Okay, wow wow, I really just
Speaker 1: like threw her off. You totally did. Um. Well, that's
Speaker 1: the same thing with my resolution. If I do that,
Speaker 1: then it will make me feel better about myself. But
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying physically, I'm saying mentally, like even
Speaker 1: even working out treat it less of like, Okay, I
Speaker 1: just want to look fit, but it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: I want to. I feel like it will make myself
Speaker 1: feel better and like, like mentally mentally and just like
Speaker 1: having a consistent schedule of something totally. I feel like
Speaker 1: it's just so good for you. I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: when you're on the right track and you have something
Speaker 1: to look forward to, and like even for me, just
Speaker 1: as little as like knowing I have a workout at
Speaker 1: nine am, I'm like high dread it. But then the
Speaker 1: second I finished the workout, I feel so accomplished and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm so proud of myself for doing that.
Speaker 1: I think that's what we need to do, is like
Speaker 1: give ourselves more credit and pat ourselves on the back
Speaker 1: for like little things just being like, wow, I even
Speaker 1: like I made my bed. That's a great start, you know,
Speaker 1: And then the rest of the day, I'm just going
Speaker 1: to accomplish little things here and there. Right. So I
Speaker 1: feel like that's something that's like a huge resolution for
Speaker 1: me at least. I don't know about you, Kenzie, but
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, I feel that what else, like, oh,
Speaker 1: a huge resolution that I'm I definitely am trying to
Speaker 1: read more. I am reading. Me and Eddie just went
Speaker 1: to the cutest bookstore and was Hollywood. It was called
Speaker 1: book Soup. I don't know if you've heard of it,
Speaker 1: but it's so beautiful there and I love it. And
Speaker 1: we got a few books and some candles and like things.
Speaker 1: It was and we got boots a little chewy baton
Speaker 1: so cute. Um and so yeah, that was that was
Speaker 1: a great start. I feel like I'm really I started.
Speaker 1: Eddie went surfing the other day. I took him to
Speaker 1: go surfing and then I read my book on the
Speaker 1: beach while he surf. It was really fun. So we
Speaker 1: used to be so into reading. Well I did, so
Speaker 1: did I. Kenzie, you always tell people the wrong story.
Speaker 1: So what's the story? The story as I when we
Speaker 1: were in school before we became homeschool. Yes, I think
Speaker 1: we told them this. You guys know, I cried. I
Speaker 1: didn't want to read. I think, yeah, that's exactly the story.
Speaker 1: So what's the what's your maybe? Well if you didn't
Speaker 1: hear that, Yeah, I used to cry because I didn't
Speaker 1: want to read my book. Okay, guys, I'll admit it. Fine,
Speaker 1: but we're moving to the new year, and I have
Speaker 1: a new resolution, and that is to not cry what
Speaker 1: I'm reading. She wasn't even reading sad books because she
Speaker 1: was just so sad that she was reading. Like I
Speaker 1: was on a comfortable couch and I started to sleep. Okay,
Speaker 1: how do you intend on doing like anything differently in
Speaker 1: the new year, if you have any Honestly, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um, I mean, you don't have to
Speaker 1: say anything. I was just wondering. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like I think we've talked about this before, but
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't have a filter, and I
Speaker 1: think I need to have more of a film. I
Speaker 1: don't know, And I don't actually think that's true, because well,
Speaker 1: you don't have a filter, but in like a very
Speaker 1: good way. Like you you never say you're not like
Speaker 1: a mean person, so you don't look bad to say no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. But I don't know. Sometimes I feel like
Speaker 1: some things that come out of my mouth just just
Speaker 1: need to stay in my head. I do that sometimes
Speaker 1: and I don't realize I've said it out loud. I
Speaker 1: thought it was like a thought that just stayed in
Speaker 1: my head, right, and then I realized I just blurted
Speaker 1: it out for the world. You know what I need
Speaker 1: to do differently. I need to learn how to cook. Yes, oh,
Speaker 1: good idea, I need to do that too, But I
Speaker 1: also need to be better at spending money and saving money. Okay,
Speaker 1: if you mean to be better at saving what you mean,
Speaker 1: That's what I meant totally. I think I think like
Speaker 1: we both could do that more. I I try and
Speaker 1: save my money as much as I can. Why are
Speaker 1: you looking at me like that? I think we're both
Speaker 1: terrible at it. M hm. I get through waves, but
Speaker 1: we're so grateful to be in the position that we are.
Speaker 1: Like also the fact, Okay, I'm just so excited for
Speaker 1: next year for the reason that you're going to move out. Sorry, Mom,
Speaker 1: I know it's nothing against my mom. Every time we
Speaker 1: talked about it, I feel other than it's so exciting
Speaker 1: that you get to like find your own place and
Speaker 1: make it your own and decorate it and just like
Speaker 1: learn how to take care of myself. Yeah, it's crazy too,
Speaker 1: because like I have always been such an independent child,
Speaker 1: but then moving out, it's like, oh my gosh, there's
Speaker 1: so many things that I don't know and you have
Speaker 1: to figure out and there's so many things I still
Speaker 1: don't know. But it's like it's so fun getting to
Speaker 1: like learn that side to yourself, get to learn that
Speaker 1: side of you. Yeah, I think it would be super
Speaker 1: fun and I'm excited for Mom to like come over
Speaker 1: and stuff. Trust me, you're going to call your Like, okay,
Speaker 1: call my mom. I called mom like twelve days, twelve times.
Speaker 1: In the first day I moved in, I was like, Mom,
Speaker 1: where do I put this? Where's this go? Like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what this is, like I'm scared to touch it. Well,
Speaker 1: when she was gone for like a second, I she
Speaker 1: was in Pittsburgh, I taught myself how to wash the dishes.
Speaker 1: Nice big stuff. So what about the laundry. Have you
Speaker 1: done the laundry? Nope, I have not done the laundry,
Speaker 1: and I'm a little scared for that part. But it's
Speaker 1: honestly really easy. Like I always tread doing laundry, but
Speaker 1: then the second I do it, I'm like, oh that
Speaker 1: was so quick and like I just got it over with. Well,
Speaker 1: that's my new Year's resolution, learn how to do laundry. Wow,
Speaker 1: you're becoming such an adult. This is a huge step
Speaker 1: for you. Um. What are three words to describe your
Speaker 1: mm hmm, I would say, Um, there was growth? Is
Speaker 1: that a good bye grow word? Gross? Um? Fun? It
Speaker 1: was fun and challenging because I faced a lot of
Speaker 1: new challenges that I've never had before. I second all
Speaker 1: three words that you just said no way, I'm okay, wow.
Speaker 1: I mean, but if it's honest, it honestly is I mean,
Speaker 1: I can think of some words, but might take me
Speaker 1: a second. Like it was, but it was it was cool,
Speaker 1: it was hip, it was little um um, I think
Speaker 1: it was. Um. I feel like I was more spontaneous
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, you did some surfing, yep. I felt
Speaker 1: like I tried new things. You got hit by longboard.
Speaker 1: I did get hit by longboard. We're not going to
Speaker 1: talk about it. Um. I feel like it was bright,
Speaker 1: like nice and run and bright, and I would definitely
Speaker 1: stay challenging. There's definitely some parts of the year that
Speaker 1: have been a lot, but that's that's what the New
Speaker 1: years for to overcome, of course, But I feel like, honestly,
Speaker 1: for a year, we're going to go through challenges, whether
Speaker 1: it be on a large scale or a small scale,
Speaker 1: Like it's just like bound to happen, and I think
Speaker 1: that's a part of being human and we can't, you know,
Speaker 1: feel bad for going through those times. But as long as, like,
Speaker 1: when we're not going through that, we're making the most
Speaker 1: of our lives and being as happy as possible. And
Speaker 1: just like relishing, and being young. I like, it's so
Speaker 1: weird because I've always wanted to grow up so fast,
Speaker 1: and now I just want to be twelve again. I know,
Speaker 1: I always I always tell Mom, like I just want
Speaker 1: to stay when I turned eighteen. I just want to
Speaker 1: be eighteen forever. And that's it. Well, babe, that's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Sorry that we're referencing in a Dell quote.
Speaker 1: It's such a funny thing. Um, maybe I'll become a
Speaker 1: full time TikToker. Okay, we all know that's not gonna been.
Speaker 1: I'm scared of making TikTok because I feel like I
Speaker 1: don't do a good job. If you could give yourself
Speaker 1: advice going too, what would it be? I think just
Speaker 1: be more open minded, I think, m um, because now
Speaker 1: I feel like I've gotten more closed off and like
Speaker 1: I don't I don't interact with people as much anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm more of a home body now, and it's really weird.
Speaker 1: I feel like I need to like get out of
Speaker 1: my comfort zone and make new friends and totally try
Speaker 1: new things. Yeah, I like that advice. I would kind
Speaker 1: of say the same. You know me, I don't get
Speaker 1: out much, but I'm turning into you, but I've started
Speaker 1: to go out a little bit more turning into me.
Speaker 1: We're doing a freaky Friday situation. I'm down for it. No,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think there's so much to look forward to,
Speaker 1: and honestly, one of my favorite things with next year's
