I work out every single time. I'm like, let's take a picture of
the podcast, like it just worked out and I don't even care. I
know, Hi, welcome to you. I said, we got to take
a picture, and Jennie like, will you look nice? I'm like,
I come straight from the TV in January. When we take a pictures,
I will be like, I'll look like I went to the gym. But
it's just that I haven't showered in days. Yeah. Do you like my
new shirt? Gut? I do? It's so bright white right now.
I like, it caught my eye immediately. It's a Viking's crew neck.
Yeah, but it's mostly white with like obviously the lettering in purple. But
it's so white. I'm like, dang, that's a bright shirt. Well,
they're doing like a wide out game yeah Christmas Eve, so all their
stuff is white. And I don't know how I got into the Vikings good
graces, but it has been very beneficial to me because well I know why
they want, like I think they want, you know, their goal is
they want moms to feel like it's a fun place to go as well.
Right, So one of the ladies that works there had reached out. I
did the thing with Dylan for his birthday, and then she was like,
all right, now you're on the list, and so when we get like
new gear or whatever, we'll send you. Someone was like hey yeah,
and so she had said I'm going We're sending you some for the Whiteout game.
I was like, oh my god, it's so exciting. Because I
looked at the link. I was like, and this is not I mean,
they gave it to me for free. But I am, even though
not a sports fan, I love a cozy shirt. Yeah, and if
I'm going to be a sports fan, it's going to be for like the
Minnesota teams because I live here. So but I was literally like looking at
it and I was like, I would be happy with anything in that store
because all of this stuff was cute like this. I know, I feel
like the fans stores are actually really good because I don't have that with the
Vikings. But also I'm a Packers fan, but yeah, the Wolves stuff.
So when I work a Wolves game, the head of the entertainment department
sends me pictures of things. He's like, what do you want to wear?
Because I obviously have to wear they're apparel, and so then I just
like pick random stuff out and there was literally like thirty options last game,
and I was like, this is too much. I was like, can
you just pull a couple things? And now I'm like obsessed with the one
thing I wore and yeah, no, very cute stuff, very cute.
So I was like, shout out to the Vikings. I'm glad I'm somehow
on their like mailer list, and I shall I remain there forever and ever.
Okay, you said you had a question for me. Yeah, okay,
so this is like a general question, and I know you did your
Instagram question thing. So I was just thinking the other day, obviously,
we're wrapping up twenty twenty three, and I'm curious not that you should like
necessarily compare years to each other, because every year has like highs and lows,
but how do you think you would rate twenty twenty three two maybe like
recent years that you've had, because truthfully, I feel like this has been
one of the more challenging years for me. Obviously it's no secret there was
a lot of changes in our careers, but then just like I don't know,
I feel like mental health wise, it was a little more challenging and
not that like there weren't some really good times, because there definitely were.
But when I think of like good years, I don't know that I would
put twenty twenty three at the top of Not to be depressing about it,
but I think it's reality that sometimes you have good years. Sometimes it's just
like, you know, not as good of one. But how do you
think you would rate it? I think challenging is a good word. But
it's interesting because I think I talked about this a little bit on the last
podcast. I said, next year is going to be. I am in
the best spot mentally I have been in right now that I can remember.
Yeah. Good. It took a minute for me to get there. But
there's this thing that I saved, and I was like the other I was
like, I think i'll post that as my end of the year, like
it. I kept seeing it all year long, and I don't know,
well, I do know what it's about. To me. It's just this
phrase. God, if I can find it, who knows that. I
was like, that really is it for me this year? God? I
probably won't be able to find it if you post it on your story,
right, No? Not, Okay, it was kind of saved it It
was like, yeah, some words like one of those like things just written
and now I'll probably never find it, but it was along the lines of,
you know, one of those quotes where it's like the challenges that get
you where you need to be. Basically, it's not that it's so much
better than that I should have been prepared, but I'll find it eventually and
I'll share it because I was like, that is going to that has stuck
with me all year long. Every time I say it, I'm like,
yep, that still stands true. But I always say, and I'm not
joking, but I always say, twenty sixteen was like the worst year of
my life. Yeah, this is not it, but it's something like this
growth is painful, but nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't
belong. Okay. So I love that it was something like that, and
it might have been that, or the real flex is removing yourself from anything
that repeatedly triggers your mental health, hurts your heart, or lowers your vibe
like I had. Those are the kind of the things that I like,
like latched onto, and I just think that I made a really challenging decision
earlier this year, and it was it was It really was the best thing
for me. And here's why. I think overall, I felt like I
loved doing it so much, but I also was like, I need to
do the morning show realistically. Yeah, I love doing it so much.
It was like, but it was so comfortable. And you know what,
I'll give Dave credit for this because I think that he said that he wishes
he would have done something else at some point he regrets that. And I
thought I would totally regret leaving the Morning Show, like it'd be the worst
decision of my life. But it has been such a challenge for me and
I've learned so much. There were still things I was learning in the Morning
Show, but it wasn't like this. This is like all new challenges and
I think that's healthy and I think that's good. The challenges were very felt
very almost like midlife crisis to me in the beginning, Okay, and so
I think I was like, oh god, you know, but now I
feel like I'm on like the right path. Yeah. So I would say
overall this year, I would not look back on it fondly, but I
think it'll be a year that actually stands out to me in my life because
I made a difficult and good, challenging decision for myself good. So I
think that's how it answers. Yeah, No, I mean that's a great
answer. Yeah, And it's it's hard to compare years because different things happen
in different years. So it's like you might have had such a low low
for like a couple days in one year that you define as one of your
lowest lows, but then you could have another year where you have like three
months of just bad like juju or something, you know, but it wasn't
that bad, you know. And then also you could have some really good
things that last really long time. So yeah, I feel like not that
I didn't like twenty twenty three. There are so many, so many highlights
from twenty twenty three, but I just think that we faced a lot of
challenge, specifically with my family. Obviously, my little sister had her stroke.
Yep, that has been like very tough on my family. And then
just you know, just like some personal stuff too. I think that was
like challenging for me and obviously recently some mental health issues. But I still
like think that there were so many good things in twenty twenty three, and
then same with you with the morning show. I mean not that I wasn't
already on air with you guys, but I was not like at the level
that I'm at now without you being there. So I've learned a lot more.
And you think you know everything until you get thrown into that position.
I'm even specifically talking about today exactly because Dave was on vacation again today,
and it is just when you get put into someone else's full time job,
it's you really realize what they have to deal with from their perspective and stuff.
So yeah, overall, I'm not saying twenty twenty three was a bad
year. I think it came with its challenges, but also some good highlights
too, So I was just curious where you thought. I think it's good
to look back on it like you are, like, I think it's good
to acknowledge that, like, yeah, that even though there were a few
bad moments here and there, overall wasn't bad. I will, like I
said earlier, I will joke that until the end of time, twenty sixteen
is my worst year of my life, and I will continue with that forever,
and I hope that nothing ever trumps it again. You know, yeah,
but it's it's all as annoying as it is, it really does help
you grow and learn some valuable lessons time. I agree, No, I
agree. I saw this thing too, those we was gonna talk about on
our show today. And it's like a challenge. It says, challenge yourself
to say nothing negative for twenty four hours. Okay, So that means mentally,
either you can't speak negatively about yourself others, you can't even say things
like it says like you want money, but you say I'm poor. You
want happiness, but you say my life sucks. So it's like, for
twenty four hours, be much more conscious about the words you use about yourself
and life. And I'm like, I'm gonna try that because I am.
I am a glass half empty bitch. But it's okay. I'm not saying
that it's not something worth trying, but man, I can't con sometimes how
my brain thinks, you know. So it's like if it starts, maybe
just like nope, yep, and then read like yeah, yeah, I
don't think it's gonna be easy. And you couldn't couldn't do it for more
than twenty four hours. I mean, my god, I don't know,
all right, I do have By the way, oh my god, I
made I told Jake he should Trima's bush and okay, I feel like that
was on a left field. I was like, wait, I thought we're
getting too questions on your Instagram. Let me just okay, does Andrew ever
tremas bush or does he keep it? Okay, he does, but it's
like when he thinks, maybe like he's getting some good action and very close
up in that area, you know what I'm saying. Oh yeah, no,
Jake is. But not too frequently, Jake, I'll be like,
I can't even see it anymore, and I'm like, oh, it's a
good, good point. I'll go clear that out. And it's kind of
an ongoing joke. But I told him. I go, you've got to
find a middle ground. What does that mean? And I go, you
are one of two ends of the spectrum. There is no one between.
For your bush. It is either so now Jake is a harrow boy,
Yeah, like it is. Either it is either so aggress like I don't
even want to get in there for a handy, my friend, I'm gonna
rip out something. It's like it is too much, or he goes naked
mule rat and I'm like, dude, there is an in between ya.
He's like, I don't know what that is, and I go literally in
between. I was like, it makes me uncomfortable when it's straight Gonzo's no,
like I need like something like it makes me so uncomfortable when he's like
basically straight racers. It it's too much. Okay, there's no mystery.
But I also like, as a female, I don't know how I wouldn't
just like be straight razor for the most I mean, I guess they have
trimmers, yeah, and they just do razors right. And so yesterday he
was like, today's the day. I'm like doing the full like trimming the
beer, trimming the coach his coach and uh so I walked in and I
was like, let me look. He said no, and I was like,
come on, let me say. I was like that's much better,
and he's like, okay, so did you help him do it? No?
I didn't realize he was doing it. He like went downstairs with Olive
and I was like working on some stuff for like our show, and then
I was like, what is he doing? And I was like I was
doing the game where my hair was super greasy. I knew I was not
going to want to get up and wash a blow dry and curl it this
morning, and I was like, I do not want to take a shower
to night. So I was playing that game. I was like, just
get your fucking lazy ass in the shower. And I walked in and that's
what I saw, the naked spread presentation. I was like, oh,
okay, this is what you've been doing this whole time. Once upon a
time, I did help Andrew with his grooming and told me this, and
it was I have no interest in helping Jake. I mean it was mostly
not like the bush situation. He can handle that. But it was like
I wanted to see how like I don't know the sweet spot was or not
the sweet spot if it was like his testmire, Yeah, his juice st
I was looking for his juicepot, like how tender it is, because I
mean they grow hair on their penis, you know. So I was like
helping him with a little razor, not obviously the big trimmer. But I
got nervous and I was like, take it back, I don't want to
do it. No. I also brought Jake's bush up at his company dinner
Friday night. Oh yeah, you have the holiday bart. We did,
and it started off with like a joke about Jake. They were I don't
know who brought up probably me vissectomes and a lot of the guys. One
guy at our table had not had one, he doesn't have kids yet,
and the other guys all had had visctames and they're like, oh my god,
what's it like? And so Jake was explaining that you're awake during it,
and he's like, what, it's like Lasick. We were laughing.
I was like, it is kind of like Lasic and Jake was like,
it takes, like, you know, however long I don't know. He's
like fifteen or thirty minutes. And the other guy's like, why did yours
take so long? Like mine was? Mine was even shorter. And Jake's
like, as it turns out, I did not shave my pubes well enough,
so they had to get in there and do it. And I go,
it's the Goottler bush. It's a curse. And and then they were
like I'm sorry what And I was like, it's an ongoing thing. I
say. The Gottlers have three things. They have the Gootler gut because they're
all gassy. They have the Gottler heat because they're all charismatic, and they
have the Gattler bush. And I go and Jake's sister Hammah loves that one
because she loves me. Just a massive bush. But they were like,
oh, and they're like, why didn't you shave? And He's like,
I probably did. And on the way there it grew back. So I
was like, yeah, so it's why the situation. So shout out to
laser hair removal. Who did I? Oh my god, someone just I
think it was someone I met. They were like talking about listening to episode
one of our podcasts. It was someone I knew, and they brought up
to be like Jenny's ass eating the laser my my favorite story from the podcast
for the year. I was like, I honestly think it might be my
favorite like story from the podcast as well. So I've gotten better because I
just had my fourth hyrie. Yeah. No, I just like prepare it
a little bit mentally more you talk to it, you go all right,
the brown ad girl. But I definitely well, first of all, I
can't see it. If I could, I would look her in the eye,
the one eye and say, ma'am, behave the things she's been through
with the pam rider removal, she probably looks like, right, actually,
can I tell you I'm fun? This is a super side, random fucking
note. But I was laying in the guest bed after a shower. Our
bathroom's right the guest bedrooms right next to the shower, and I was just
like laying there, like on my phone, chilling for a second, in
a towel, and so I look and there's a full body mirror right there,
and I kind of I just I just spread him, like so you're
on your back and you spread it. I was on my back and then
I kind of rolled over to get up, and then I saw the full
body mirror and I realized the towel was pretty much are you on your hands
and knees now? No? Now? Or At first I was on my
belly. Then I flipped and I was on my back and I was about
to get up, and then I saw the full body mirror. So I
kind of like spread my legs to see the spread what I was looking like
in the vicinity. And then I was like, so this is what Andrew
sees like when he goes in there. I was like, interesting, there
were a couple of creases. I wasn't expecting a body fat and I was
like, that's nice. And so I was about to pull him in there
and be like, so this is what you're looking at him? And I
was like, all right, clearly he's into it. Yeah, spot,
I don't need a question. Yes, But I just was like, hmm,
I didn't realize this kind of angle is what I look like. I
you know, you know what I want to ask Jake. I saw this
podcast and I don't know who it is, and it could be very popular.
It was like one of those videos that pulls up on my for you
page or maybe someone sent it to me. Someone might attack me in it,
which but it was like a husband and wife clearly and her talking about
asked. She was asking him if it felt different after she had the baby,
and he was like yes, and she's like, oh, like is
it better or worse? Like it's not worse, and she's like, but
you can tell a difference. He's like, yeah, So I feel like
I should ask Jake that if it I've never heard that question I ever heard
that before? Well, the question or like hearing that it might be different
obviously, but I just yeah, I don't know. I think, like,
you know, the stereotype of some woman get insecure, that it would
be like looser or something. But I don't really think that that's true.
I think that like that's just a myth. Like I think your body pretty
much it knows where to go. Yeah, if she goes back, she
goes back, she looks a little different. Apparently she feels a little bit
like but she goes back. Okay, are you ready for ask me anything
questions? I put this up on Instagram and I have not pre read them,
So Okay, we got a lot, Jenny, we got a lot.
Ok First off, would Tina ever do an episode with you? I
think so it would be harder than it used to be because she has a
real big girl job now that she actually has to go into the office to
you and be present. But I actually was thinking about I brought this up
to Jenny when we started the podcast and doing a series of where are they
now with former people from the show, So like Steve, Tina, maybe
Mike, that might be it. I don't know who else we would ask.
I mean, we could ask oh, Jordan, Jallie, we could
ask I don't know who else there would be to ask. Honestly, I
don't know either, So it could be like a like a series we might
do so I might reach out. But Steve also has a big boy job,
so he had to, like when we have lunch. I think he
had to like lie in Sandy a doctor's appointment to come have lunch with me
to like clear space on his like shared schedule. Okay, would you rather
get one million dollars to day or earn five cents for every step you take?
Five cents? That would add up so quickly. Yeah. There,
I feel like we've done on would you rather recently? Like this on the
Morning Show? And I think the smart choice is actually to get the million
dollars right away and invest it. Yeah, So I think I would probably
do that, But I don't know how quickly five cents adds up. I'd
have to do some maths. I figure out if you do ten thousand steps
a day, wouldn't that be like five thousand dollars a day. I'm really
bad at math. Ten thousand, I'm five hundred. It's only five hundred.
Yeah, so let's say that one actually five days in the year times
five hundred hundred, one hundred and eighty two thousand, five hundred dollars.
So it's going to take you at least like eight seven is years, but
eventually million more than a million, about six years a million. But then,
yeah, what's the investment return if you invested that immediately? If I
got a million dollars a day, would invest all a million dollars? I
would pay off things about myself. I don't know I would. I would
invest some, but I don't think I would invest all of it. Yeah,
I know I wouldn't stair rail in my house. You know you need
what I want to stare rail like a new one. Oh. The railing.
The railing, I hate it. I got to find like a contractor
to do it. We literally haven't had a railing going from our bedroom down
to me in six months. I know, because that is first of all,
that is city illegal. I know to talk about it, you are,
but let me tell you ry code. Because Andrew literally went and just
like threw random shit out when I well, okay, I don't know for
sure, but he did admit he could have done this. We're missing one
of the anchors for the railing, so there were like three and we can't
find one of them, and we also can't find the for the curtain rod.
We can't find the hooks to put the curtain rod on. So we
also one of the windows does not a curtain rod with curtains on it.
There's shape, there's blinds on it. It's not just like completely open.
But yeah, we finally decided we have to just get a new railing,
period, and so that's our situation. I just need the railing because it's
like the one an eyesore that's outdated. Left in the majority would yes,
and it's it's not even like a current style and it doesn't match any I
just hate it. It's like, right when you walk in my house,
you see it. Yeah, so Jake agreed with me that that will be
something we do this year. Good. Okay. How to stay sane while
having to deal with extended family staying over for Christmas? Oh that's a good
one. I'm wondering, is it your family or your partner's family. Yeah,
because if it's your partner's family, then this is the rule I have.
I am allowed to go in my room and take breaks from that family,
and it's Jake's responsibility. Here's the thing, with Jake. Jake is
not as chatty as me, and I feel like I have to dominate conversation
or it's just silence, and that always annoys me. So he's gotten better
about that. It's brought it up. I'm like, hey, these are
your people, so you got to step up the convo. I can't.
I'm holding it on a backbite. Get exhausted, Get exhausted. I think,
create reasons to leave. Yeah, I was gonna store activities for them
to do. So, hey, I put together a list of ideas for
you. You know, mal America is doing this on Saturday. You should
go. I don't know that's a good one. I don't have any answers
for people coming to stay with me because we are the ones who go and
stay. But for us, when we go and stay at my mom's,
we literally are like, all right, we're gonna go in the bedroom and
just like hang for a little bit and just we literally get away from everyone
and we maybe watch a Netflix show or something and we just like have a
moment because otherwise, like I don't know, and nobody gets mad at us.
I don't know what the relationship is with the family. Nobody cares are
some people are weird about that though, they think you're being ruds. Yeah,
what were the best and worst things that happened this year? M I
mean I would say best is hard because I we had so many amazing trips
this year, like so many amazing trips, and weirdly enough, I think
that most people might expect me to say that Tahiti was my favorite trip,
but I almost might go with our trip to Bend, Oregon, our snowboarding
trip. I don't know. I just loved that city, and it was
not a stressful trip, like because I have flying anxiety, and then that
anxiety kind of lives with me for a couple of days, like going into
a trip, and it takes me a while to get into that vacation mode.
The trip to ben was just like amazing. We did so many fun
things and snowboarded, and that's just like our personalities, so I feel like
that was one of the best things. I mean, the worst was definitely
my younger sister having a stroke and just the toll it's taken on the family,
and honestly, like selfishly not me as much because I'm not there,
But I mean I was home for a while helping out and going home a
little bit when it had first happened, So that was definitely the worst.
Best for me would probably be the two most memorable things that come up are
the trip we took my niece and nephew on to Switzerland and Paris, more
so the Switzerland part, even though Paris was awesome he'd already been before.
And Taylor Swift both nights because it was just, yeah, that concert was
epic. Worst easily losing Elliott, like that's yeah, absolutely the worst thing
that happened. Okay, how to establish boundaries and keep up with it.
For example, certain certain people in a friend oh, that their thing cut
off. So I don't know if I'm gonna be great with that. I
don't know. I've worked on boundaries. You have to decide what those boundaries
are, and I mean you have to stick with them. And the thing
is you feel guilty and you have to stop feeling guilty, and that is
easier said than done. And I honestly think that you could read some books
on it that I don't think anything Jenny and I say are going to it's
going to really help. Because I had to go to therapy for it.
I was going to say, also, maybe you have the people pleasing issue
that a lot of people have, where you're like incapable of setting boundaries and
you just always want to make everyone else happy, and then that obviously burns
you out. So maybe look into techniques to not people please as much?
Yeah? Yeah, who would play you in a movie? Oh god?
I like I could see maybe Jennifer Lawrence because she's a little bit puerky,
weird, like outrage A good one. I think I could maybe see that.
Oh man, I'm trying to think, because okay, I feel like
I get like the boss. No, I don't want to say boss bitch
because I hate that term. I think yours would be Kate Upton because of
her her big old titties. Oh yeah, and I like to bounce them.
I like to do some beach runs with them, bouncing up and down.
Hello. I don't have a single line in my movie. Actually,
I'm just running the entire time and working out when Oh yeah, So anyways,
my movie, you have to be a twenty one or older, not
even eighteen. You be twenty one. What would yours be? I don't
know. I think for Laurence is a good one, but I mean if
you based on how I look, it'd be nothing like that. I feel
like, Oh, I wasn't thinking about looks wise at all. I was
thinking of solely personality. I don't know. I mean, if I want
like someone older than me, i'd go Melissa McCarthy for me. She's like
funny and like can do like funny body humor, which I like, like
physical comedy. But if I went younger. I don't know why I thought
Jenna Ortega. I think I only want her because I like her, not
because she would actually be like me at all. She's a little too dry,
yeah to be me. I don't know. That's a good question though.
If anyone has an answer for us, who they think it would be,
let us know. Email us. Yeah, for sure. Robin just
says I think you both are amazing and I appreciate you. That's all.
Thank you. This person said, Fallon, do you get a commission for
all of the War of the Roses they still play with you on them.
I do not receive commission, but I will be looking to that for my
next contract. Thank you. Favorite games to play as a family or favorite
holiday traditions. We play Left Right Center, which is a simple, easy
game it's I told Jake this last night. I am so bummed. We
don't really play many games anymore. We used to play them with Dylan all
the time, and I want to get back into it. I know what
the problem is, though, I don't know how to play all these new
games, and I do not I go. I think it's like the patience
is gone where you used to read the instructions. I just want someone to
show me how to play it. That's how I am too. I'm so
sick of like even watching YouTube videos. It doesn't really help me. It
becomes so confusing, and I hate it. Like we got the ticket to
Ride last year because Dave always recommended it, and even Zach said he loves
it. I don't feel like learning how to play it. It seems like
it's too hard. I am like totally the same thing when someone has to
explain an entire game like it's usually only happened on like ski trips, and
someone to be like, let's play a drinking card game, and I'm like,
I don't want to learn a new game. You know, I'm like
that, But I am totally the same. I'm trying. I was just
trying to google and it's fine. I'm not gonna be able to figure it
out. But there's a game we play that's newer in our family where everyone
has a role. There's like witnesses, there's a detective, there's someone like
was murdered or something, and you have to like convince everyone who is who,
and like everyone's head's down at the beginning, except for like three people
get to like converse or something. And I'm so sorry I cannot recall the
name of it, but we only played it a couple times, and I
was not at Christmas last year, so I don't remember the other one though,
is I mean, we just do your Christmas exchange, so that one's
always fun because we do the whole Like you pick a number, whoever's lowest
goes first, and then you can steal up to like two steals. Usually
you can't steal something right back, okay, yeah, and then obviously at
the end you can like exchange presence if you feel like And I did it
over FaceTime last year since I wasn't there, ended up with just garbage or
I was so mad. I don't think it would have gone the way Yeah
it did if it wasn't for that. We I mean, this isn't a
Christmas game, but we just play. We love I mean, catchphrase is
the easiest one. Alas we love categories the catchphrases, like we did that
even when we went on a we went on a family trip over a Labor
Day weekend with like my mom and sister, but we went to like Charleston
area and we spent like both nights just playing that, sitting on the couch
with each other. And it's fun. But I always like the heads up
game on the phone too, because it's free, and that's like kind of
similar, but it's like more you can do act ones and those are funny.
Some of these questions are like kind of the same one you asked like
the best Yeah, uh ooh how much did it rec cost to redo your
bathroom foul? And I love it? Thank you. I will never share
that probably ever done and will do yes. Correct. Have you enjoyed your
time on the Jason Show. You add a lot to the show? Thank
you so much. Yes, I have four days left. I would just
say, so it is Friday. You're in the rest of this week,
so Friday is your last day. Yeah. So if you're listening to this
on Tuesday when it comes out, then I may be already done with that
show, but I have four days left this week. A lot of questions
about your Timberwolves thing, Jenny, because people are confused. I'm confused too.
Something happened because a lot of them are saying no one was hired.
What is that? What is happening? Like multiple people put that, You're
honestly as confused as I am. Yeah, I don't have an answer for
you. That's why I said on the last podcasts that I'm not going to
be doing it, but I'm going to be guest hosting. And someone had
commented on my things saying I didn't give an update, but I swear that's
what I said on the last podcast. But if that wasn't enough of an
answer for you, that's all I have. I don't have any more information
besides that. I'm just going to be helping fill in when they need help
with games. What is one thing you really want to accomplish next year?
Oh, I feel like I got to find a side thing for myself.
I know I do, like, Oh, I have one too, dogs
and I watch dogs on the side. That's like sort of a side hustle.
But I feel like I need to find a new hobby or something,
and I don't know what that'll be. Okay, I have one. I
don't know what it's called. I've said this before, but I want to
learn to do it. So if you want to do it with me,
Jenny, you can, but I don't think it's going to be your thing.
I want to learn to play that. I don't know which culture at
it's specifically. I know it's Asian. It's the die. It's the not
dice like look like Domino's. Okay, that's the shape of it, but
it has different things on it. God, why can't I think of what
it's called? The game they're playing, crazy rich Asians. I never watched
that. Oh my god, did you're the worst? You haven't anything that's
I heard. It's so good too, and I always debate watching when I'm
watching this week and it's so good. It's so good. But anyway,
it's a game that they play, and I want to learn to play it
because I told Jake, I was like, you know, like when we
go out like to bars and stuff or things and we're just like hanging out.
I don't want to be on our phones, right, you want to
actually play some of the games, and we do talk. We will call
up like games on our phones and play with the kind of questioning games,
and we we're pretty good at keeping conversation. Like it's not like we don't
have anything to talk about. But I think it'd be fun to like have
a game we could play. And he's like, let's learn cribbage. And
I go, no, it's a that's a math game, and I hate
math, so he'll just always beat me. I want something we both can
like play and have a chance of winning. He's like, that's fair.
So that's what I want to learn next year, and yours is to learn
that also with me. Thank you, Jenny. I mean, I'll consider
it. I literally have no idea what you're talking about, though, I
know. Let's see, here are a few a few fun ones. Favorite
meal right now? Ooh, that's a good one. I don't know.
I've just been doing a lot of like bowls. I love bowls, like
you know where you mix things together. Well, what are you putting in
your bowls? Give an example of your favorite things you put in one?
I'm a little burnout on one by like a ground chicken, And there's like
a Trader Joe's hash as like it's like really finely chopped vegetable sage, sweet
potatoes, and I mix it all together and it's really easy. I like
things like that that are and maybe some I throw. Sometimes you'll throw an
egg on top. So I just really like really easy bowls. Mine's not
too exciting because I stick to a lot of the same things, but I
usually do like ground turkey whatever, eat that all the time. But I
found this spicy Mexican Polly Feller rice from Trader Joe's, so I kind of
mix the two, and the rice is actually like really healthy. It has
flavor and taste nice. So I've been kind of combining the two of those
a lot lately, and maybe we'll throw it in a tortilla here and there,
but for the most part, I kind of just eat the two on
their own. I mean, the ground turkey has like taco seasoning and it's
like more of your Mexicanish dish. And then I'll throw some things on top
of sour cream or something. Yeah. Yeah, would you rather always be
sticky or always be itchy? Sticky? So hard sticky for sure. Having
mosquito bites and itching constantly is so whatever being sticky it's just it's inconvenient,
but it wouldn't be annoying. Well, it would be annoying, but not
compared to being itchy. Two more, what do you do when you start
to like your best friend romantically? Oh, that's hard because do you know
for a fact that like there's no chance on their end. Yeah, if
you know for a fact there's no chance, I would like maybe to your
best friend almost take a step back or something, because that's brutal. That's
brutal. The only thing I can think of is we know two radio people
who did a show together and then they ended up I know, but I
think they're the exception, not the way they are the exception that you could
be the acception. But what I'm saying is what happened with them, and
maybe this can to help you out, was they were somewhere, they had
had some drinks. I think they had gotten into the conversation of like,
somehow the alcohol encouraged the conversation of if there was feelings, and then I
think he kind of retracted after that conversation happened and was like, no,
we shouldn't do this, because I think they were doing a morning show together
and at the time and they still do a podcast together, and so they
were like, we can't do this our careers blah blah blah. But then
eventually, like that conversation finally blossomed into they are dating now and have been
a while. Yeah, so I'm not saying go out and get drunk,
but maybe that could be a little bread from me, little like, hey,
who do you like well? I mean we're in second grade, so
who do you like? Well? I feel like it's so hard, I
don't know. I'm like, maybe, yeah, risk it, and then
if you're good enough friends, you can be like, let's just pretend that
didn't happen so it doesn't ruin our friendship if they are not reciprocating. Yeah,
okay, last thing, ideas of things to do on New Year's Eve
that aren't going out to bars or clubs, And I put this is a
separate question on here, Gosh, do you have answers? Because I am
not coming up with anything. Game night with friends or a movie marathon of
sorts. Everyone puts sleeps sleep. Don't worry, Jenny, your sister said
Packer versus Vikings. Game Go Packers Go of course vont to be funny,
said drink and have dinner, because it's what I said. Other than that,
a lot of people said games. Play a bunch of just dance and
board games. So many games, cake decorating contests for kids. A lot
of people do like if you have kids, like the eight pm ball drop
thing. This one says our new thing sweats, pajamas with cocktails, apps
with our friends. A lot of people said, buy all the frozen apps
and make those family cabin time, make apps, hobby ice fishes, sometimes
games and movie. A lot of people said bowling that was a big one.
Yeah, that'd be fun, or going to just a cabin somewhere.
Board games seems to be the top one, which is funny since we already
talked about that. So another people's A lot of people said seeing a play
you can see like this one said, I'm going to see Peter Pan at
the Ordway with my fifteen year old, have neighbors over and do appetizers and
get out by eight thirty. I have gone skiing and tubing, bowling,
a comedy show, all fun for a full group, take a bath and
cut a pet early COTTI of bowling puzzles because I'm an eighty year old trapped
in a thirty four year old body. Play low tia. I don't know
what that means, so look it up. Have a nice meal. We
had last year fondue. Someone said last year we did. We met Jake's
siblings and had cocktail somewhere early and then we were home and probably in bed
before Bingo is another one people put in there. There's a lot of things.
If you want to look online on Instagram or TikTok, just search like
I don't know, Christmas Game, Olympics or something, and there's so many
families that are doing kind of like Christmasy related games. So one of them,
for instance, is you have a bunch of cotton balls in a bowl
and you try to lift it, you try to like put it into a
cup or something. Then there is like a snowball theme or something, and
it's harder than what you think it would be. Yep. So it's all
these kind of like Christmasy things. Or you have a bunch of cash on
the table and you use a spatula and you try to live poop it out
and put it into a bowl, and you're also blindfolded during that, and
everyone cheers for you, so you fill in really good. You're making all
this money and you're doing good. But there's just so many like random fun
games out there if you're not really a board game person or you're like typical
like catchphrase, there's so many random things that wouldn't require you, like you
probably have a lot of the essentials in your already. The most reason what
I saw was you take a tube of toilet paper and also a tube like
with toilet paper on it, and then also a paper towel tube with paper
towel on it, and you tie a string to your waist with it hanging
down like below your crotch, and then there's a wiener on top of that,
and you try to get the wiener into the tube as it's standing up
vertically on the ground. And so you do the paper towel first, then
you get it into the toilet paper, and then you switch. So it's
it's kind of team oriented. It's definitely a stitch where you're gonna need people
to be there. You're gonna need to like probably like six ish people,
so you can have like a couple teams. But I don't know, snow
tubing on Buckhill. Someone said, someone said, go Mini Gothic at cankin
Wonderland as a family in the morning on New Year's Eve. I think that's
most of them. Like a lot of very similar things with like the bingo,
rent a cabin, make apps to board games, have friends over,
bowling at country club lanes with the kiddos. This one said they do it
every year. There's a candlelight trail walk. I think I've seen that online.
You could just google that, let someone else get it. You go.
They go to a hotel because they have a family and then the kids
can swim, so they've book a hotel for the night, which sounds like
really fun. And I'm trying to think if there's anything they've created, anyone's
out size skating. I mean not that you're doing that very late, but
I feel like that's another fun activity you could do right now. Someone did
say that earlier. It was like a mix of different activities to do.
Man, there are a lot of them, and they're very a lot and
the top answer go to bed at nine pm, not kidding hop answer,
which made me laughing. All right, do you feel good? This are
We went thirty almost eight minutes today, I feel great. Yeah, Jenny
and I are now going to go get salad from Swee Cree. Hell yeah,
hungry. We're listening this year, like I think we talked about last
year. We probably will be back the second week of January because we're off
the first Yeah, and then we're jumping into a new year. Yeah,
so we'll probably be back that week after, so probably two weeks off.
Thank you so much for listening. Thank you, love me by Happy New Year.
