Speaker 1: so well? He is so mean to you?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Someone messaged me the other day and said,
Speaker 2: you are a saint for putting up with him. You're
Speaker 2: a professional, a true professional.
Speaker 1: You're a true professional saint. How does that feel?
Speaker 2: You know? I just try to be the bigger person.
Speaker 2: That's what my parents taught me to do, is just
Speaker 2: not let the haters get you down.
Speaker 1: Do you consider Lunchbox a hater? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean he just tries to get under your skin,
Speaker 2: tries to get in your head. He does that with everybody,
Speaker 2: So I don't know. I guess at this point I've
Speaker 2: really learned to tune him out.
Speaker 1: So you're just like, it's just like a little gnat.
Speaker 1: That's where you're hanging out, it is.
Speaker 2: It's just like that bug you want to squosh.
Speaker 1: I love that for you. How fast can you run? Eight?
Speaker 1: Ten k? This is from l Also another initial that
Speaker 1: I had to pull.
Speaker 2: A ten k oh okay, so that I got a
Speaker 2: calculate like this. Oh, this is a lot of calculating
Speaker 2: for this time the day.
Speaker 1: Sorry, math is hard. I don't like ten k, so.
Speaker 2: That's five miles. We did like a nine minute mile
Speaker 2: for the half marathon. So if you want to calculate
Speaker 2: that out.
Speaker 1: How far is ten k?
Speaker 2: I don't think that's that's a five point two six
Speaker 2: point two? Oh six point two?
Speaker 1: Sorry, so then you'd run, says nine minutes, nine times six?
Speaker 1: That thirty six. No, I don't fifty four. My brain
Speaker 1: is not functioning. I have a lot going on in
Speaker 1: my head. Nine times six is fifty four. You're correct, Okay,
Speaker 1: so thirty four minutes? Yeah, a little ten care.
Speaker 2: Okay, do you run the ten k? She can't answer back.
Speaker 1: But she is she I don't know, and I have
Speaker 1: a profile picture and I just said, oh.
Speaker 2: So, well, that's how fast? But I haven't I usually
Speaker 2: just do like a half. I haven't done it. I
Speaker 2: don't even think I've done a ten k in an
Speaker 2: actual race. But I'm calculating on you've.
Speaker 1: Only done half marathons. Have you done five k's? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I used to. I've done five k's, okay, but like
Speaker 2: they're fine. Okay, turkey trot you know something like that.
Speaker 1: Oh you're a turkey trotter. Yeah, you and lunchbox are
Speaker 1: both turkey trot. I wonder if I could beat Lunchbox.
Speaker 1: I really want to know that. Oh, I feel like you,
Speaker 1: Mike and Lunchbox should have a running race.
Speaker 2: Oh Mike would know. Oh, Mike is insane. He like,
Speaker 2: I don't know how he does. He runs twenty two
Speaker 2: miles and one time he was running at the same
Speaker 2: park as me, and he was ridiculous.
Speaker 1: He was running.
Speaker 2: Yes, I was like, I thought I was kind of fast.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna understand this movie reference, but all my
Speaker 1: Marvel people were. They're scene at the very beginning of
Speaker 1: Captain America where he just is running loops around one
Speaker 1: of the other guys and he just gets he's seen
Speaker 1: on your right, So I kind of know Mike.
Speaker 2: Did Mike be at the park? He's like, on your right?
Speaker 1: That's funny.
Speaker 2: My gosh, Okay, can this person ask Lunchbox his Well,
Speaker 2: I could just ask him. I just want to know.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I can ask him in discreetly on next
Speaker 1: best bits lunchboxes there. So when you guys see me,
Speaker 1: ask for lunchbox questions, which will be because he was
Speaker 1: just on It'll be like six or seven weeks from now.
Speaker 1: Remind me and I will ask him for you Abby, Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you. We'll do it indiscreetly. Okay, Ali, And Marilyn
Speaker 1: wants to know she's about to move in with her
Speaker 1: boyfriend and rent her house out.
Speaker 2: Any tips, Ooh, I love that you're doing this, that
Speaker 2: you have a plan, because that's cool. I don't about
Speaker 2: running mine out any tips. Let's see communicate, I would say. Also,
Speaker 2: a good one is like different chores, like divvy them out,
Speaker 2: you know, or they might not get done, Like be like, okay,
Speaker 2: I'll do the dishes, all vacuum, I'll do laundry. The
Speaker 2: other one, I'll clean the toilets.
Speaker 1: And you know, do you divvy that out every time
Speaker 1: you guys are about to have a cleaning day or
Speaker 1: this is just those are your indefinite chores indefinite? Well,
Speaker 1: we kind of have to clean the toilet all the time,
Speaker 1: which changes. Oh so like one says this week and
Speaker 1: next week you yeah, yeah, just kind of switch them, okay.
Speaker 2: And I guess like writing things down, like write a
Speaker 2: grocery list, you know, because if he's going to the store,
Speaker 2: if you just put a grocery list on the counter,
Speaker 2: he has his list. You can add to it. And
Speaker 2: whoever goes to the store can get it. These are
Speaker 2: I guess, really small things. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, communication is everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, try to be clean. I leave things out a lot,
Speaker 2: like my Starbucks cups. Then it really annoys him, like
Speaker 2: he's like, hey, are you done with this? I'm like yeah.
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, that's from yesterday.
Speaker 1: Like have you gotten better about throwing these lips? Yes?
Speaker 2: I have, and he appreciates it. He says thank you
Speaker 2: a lot. So that also, you know, if someone does
Speaker 2: something appeciation, Yeah, show appreciation because that makes me want
Speaker 2: to continue.
Speaker 1: So communication appreciation, consistency, yes, uh huh. Okay, we like
Speaker 1: these tips. These are good. Those are helpful. Okay, We've
Speaker 1: got Lauren in New Jersey who wants to know a
Speaker 1: Nashville day hike recommendation. Ooh, day high.
Speaker 2: Let's see. It depends on which you can help with these,
Speaker 2: because I know you go on them. I love going
Speaker 2: to Percy Warner Okay, Edwin Warner. Either those they're connected,
Speaker 2: they're connected. There's one like on the by Cheek Wood
Speaker 2: entrance that has like stairs like the Bill Mead stairs.
Speaker 2: I like going up those. And there's like a cool
Speaker 2: little loom or a five mile right to a night.
Speaker 1: It's five miles. It's the long loop.
Speaker 2: Okay, you little walker. You The cool thing about these though,
Speaker 2: is they kind of venture off like different trails.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could go different amounts. Just I've gotten lost there.
Speaker 2: If you can get lost same so maybe put it.
Speaker 1: In all trails.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really like that one. Radner Lake.
Speaker 1: Radner Lake is a favorite of mine. I like just
Speaker 1: walking the loop around the lake and.
Speaker 2: There's animals like deer. You'll see a lot owls.
Speaker 1: Sometimes bald eagles. I've never gotten to see a bald
Speaker 1: eagle there, but some people have. And lots of turtles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of turtles because there's like a lake. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Harp With River is mine.
Speaker 2: Oh, that one's fun as like the overlook.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of like a rough going up, but
Speaker 1: it's super short and easy. It's just rough because you're
Speaker 1: kind of going straight up. But Harpeth River State Park
Speaker 1: is a really good one.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: And then if you have like a whole day to
Speaker 1: do one, I would road trip to Machine Falls. That's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite waterfalls.
Speaker 2: I've never been really been at Cummins Falls.
Speaker 1: Cummins Falls is a really popular one. Machine Falls is
Speaker 1: another popular one, but not as much as Cummings. It's
Speaker 1: a little further out too, so you can kind of
Speaker 1: have a little bit more. And waterfalls are just nice
Speaker 1: when it's super hot like this to do a hike
Speaker 1: at and you can swim in the little base so
Speaker 1: if you were swim so you can kind of jump in,
Speaker 1: cool off and hike the rest of the way back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are fun ones. Okay, we're gonna take a
Speaker 1: little break, be back with some more questions. Eric from
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania would like to know what happened with the Talk
Speaker 1: to Chuck podcasts.
Speaker 2: Oh it's no longer.
Speaker 1: Well, bummer, I know it was.
Speaker 2: It was so fun. I really loved it because it
Speaker 2: was kind of like a radio show, like we talked
Speaker 2: about news, we had like special guests, song we had
Speaker 2: people ask questions. But I don't know, he got too busy.
Speaker 2: And then Sammy was also on it, and she is
Speaker 2: on like old dominions to her now and yeah, it
Speaker 2: just got too crazy to get our schedules together. It
Speaker 2: was really hard because we all had to be, you know,
Speaker 2: at the same time, same place obviously.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a commitment to have a show or a podcast.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of work that goes into it, and
Speaker 1: on top of a full time job.
Speaker 2: Right and getting guests on, you have to make sure
Speaker 2: it works with their schedule too, Like it could be
Speaker 2: good for everybody on the podcast, but then if the
Speaker 2: guests can't make it at that time, it just got
Speaker 2: really hard. I would love for it to come back, but.
Speaker 1: Never say never. Yeah, maybe maybe ever.
Speaker 2: I know that was really fun though.
Speaker 1: Joanna wants to know what is something you learned in
Speaker 1: your thirties that you wish you knew at twenty?
Speaker 2: Oh? My to really just like is this airing before
Speaker 2: or after? Our Questions one?
Speaker 1: This will air after? This is part three, So the
Speaker 1: other one that we do is part one.
Speaker 2: Okay, questions Well, we talked about not writing paragraphs to
Speaker 2: guys and teaching them how to treat you that is true,
Speaker 2: like know your worth and your value and if someone
Speaker 2: can't see it, then that's on them, and don't waste
Speaker 2: any more time, you know, like I'd always be like,
Speaker 2: what's wrong with me? Like why can't they see it?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I just got to like show them, I got to
Speaker 2: prove to them, and it's like, no, you don't have
Speaker 2: to do that, like be yourself, work on yourself, be
Speaker 2: happy with yourself, and I feel like the rest kind
Speaker 2: of like falls into place. Yeah, it's like a long
Speaker 2: time one to learn that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's still sitting in her notes appen and
Speaker 1: goes to part one here.
Speaker 2: Not even went into my thirties, but I finally learned,
Speaker 2: so yeah.
Speaker 1: She got to delete it on best bits. It was
Speaker 1: a very ceremonial moment, right. I would say along that line.
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny because you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: people listen to the show and they always they've heard
Speaker 1: a lot about like my dating life over the course
Speaker 1: of time. But I think something that I was really
Speaker 1: good at was also still living my life that I
Speaker 1: didn't have someone. I wasn't waiting for a lot of
Speaker 1: things to happen. There were some there was definitely some
Speaker 1: internal conflict, but I think I would pursue that more
Speaker 1: relentlessly in my twenties of like, everything will work out,
Speaker 1: so really try and enjoy each of those moments, like
Speaker 1: being in the present moment for everything, because you do
Speaker 1: get so focused on previous things happening or future stuff
Speaker 1: that's still to come and you just forget that all
Speaker 1: of this that's happening right here are things you're gonna
Speaker 1: want to look back on and be really happy about.
Speaker 1: And there was so often that I was just caught
Speaker 1: up in one or the other that living in the
Speaker 1: present moment was really hard for me to do, especially
Speaker 1: in my early twenties. I started to get to that
Speaker 1: point in my late twenties and definitely now in my
Speaker 1: thirties where I'm very much like, Okay, one day at
Speaker 1: a time, focus on one day at a time. And
Speaker 1: I wish I could have learned that even sooner, and
Speaker 1: I really implemented it because there is a lot that
Speaker 1: I look back on and say that was so cool,
Speaker 1: and I was so focused on what's to come or
Speaker 1: what was happening before that that I couldn't really take
Speaker 1: that moment and run with it, so that I think
Speaker 1: about that a lot.
Speaker 2: Oh No, that is really good. It's kind of like
Speaker 2: the glass half full perspective, you know, like if you
Speaker 2: always focus on what you don't have, like oh I
Speaker 2: wish I had this, oh, you know, instead of just
Speaker 2: being like, oh my gosh, I get to be here
Speaker 2: right now, like this is awesome and it's really hard.
Speaker 1: To do that. Living in the present moment is a challenge.
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't know that I could have,
Speaker 1: even if I go back, do it any better than
Speaker 1: I did. But I wish I just would have like
Speaker 1: come to terms with it internally a lot better quicker.
Speaker 1: So maybe somebody telling me that would have helped. I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: I think that's what it is. You know, like when
Speaker 2: somebody does like I feel like right there, it helps
Speaker 2: flip the switch to really at least be aware of it.
Speaker 1: If you're doing that, and awareness is the key to
Speaker 1: anything changing. You know that it's happening.
Speaker 2: Exactly, you may not even realize it.
Speaker 1: What is the coolest show moment you have ever had?
Speaker 1: Nakin and Alabama who loves us.
Speaker 2: Both, Oh, the coolest show moment.
Speaker 1: We did talk about like some of our really cool moments,
Speaker 1: Like we were talking about Caffeine folder, So really go
Speaker 1: check out part one. It's always fun.
Speaker 2: But I'll do a different one. I'm gonna say, like
Speaker 2: going to Diamond State Park with lunchbox and then like
Speaker 2: pranking him after because no one on the show knew.
Speaker 2: Did I tell you? I didn't even tell you.
Speaker 1: No, you didn't tell me right away because you were
Speaker 1: holding onto it for a while.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I didn't tell anybody.
Speaker 1: I want to say. It was like four weeks later
Speaker 1: that you mentioned something to me of like I'm going
Speaker 1: to pull this over and I kind of started to
Speaker 1: piece things together. You gave me like clues, but you
Speaker 1: didn't give me the whole thing, okay, Yeah, And then
Speaker 1: when it was starting to happen, I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is what is.
Speaker 2: Like, I didn't tell Bobby or Steve, like usually you
Speaker 2: tell them so they at least know like what's happening.
Speaker 2: But Bobby had no idea, like he thought it was
Speaker 2: real too, And I was like, oh my gosh, am
Speaker 2: I going to get in trouble that I didn't tell him.
Speaker 1: You know that it's a brank. I think he loved
Speaker 1: it being a prank and he had no idea because
Speaker 1: I was always gonna like have that surprise element, right
Speaker 1: because he often does know a lot of what's happening.
Speaker 1: So I think it's always fun for him when he
Speaker 1: gets to have that and it's like harmless, you know,
Speaker 1: no harm, no foul kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just really funny, like his reaction, just
Speaker 2: the whole thing, like staying in the creepy hotel like lunch,
Speaker 2: there was a lot to it. It was just funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a good one. I still like that
Speaker 1: for you. I do wish it was a real diamond though,
Speaker 1: like me too. Could you imagine, like, yes, the prank
Speaker 1: was so incredible and just like you nailed that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but could you imagine if like it was a prank
Speaker 1: and you're like, haha, sucker and I actually get a diamond?
Speaker 2: Like could you imagine?
Speaker 1: How I think?
Speaker 2: Cannot I can't imagine how awesome that would be? Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: He would have died. He would have died even further
Speaker 1: than the prank made him die.
Speaker 2: Like I know, I wouldn't have even believed it, Like
Speaker 2: the fact that we go for him and then I
Speaker 2: find one, Oh my gosh, that would have been great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need some more stuff like that. That was
Speaker 1: always funny.
Speaker 2: We got to bring that back.
Speaker 1: Okay. Well that's how we have. We answered a lot
Speaker 1: of on on part one, and we talked about something
Speaker 1: different things, so and I was trying to go about
Speaker 1: with different things that we've never talked about in questions.
Speaker 1: Sometimes there's always some that come through that we've talked
Speaker 1: about Yeah, so you know, if you're asking a question
Speaker 1: and you don't hear it, listen to other best bits, right,
Speaker 1: because we've probably addressed it at one point or another.
Speaker 2: I'm glad there were none about movies because I haven't
Speaker 2: really watched any.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you always feel that homework. I've really kind of
Speaker 1: given up on the movie thing with you. But that's okay. No,
Speaker 1: I think I did this m the last the last
Speaker 1: time it happened. You're like, I watched one of them.
Speaker 2: Ready Player one. I keep coming back to that, like
Speaker 2: a year and a half ago, maybe too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can, Okay, Well, thanks for being here. Yeah,
