Welcome to the podcast. It is Balin and Jenny and the podcast is called
I'm Still Fun. Do you have any debts you would like to pay off?
Jenny? What I mean by that is anything you'd like to follow up
with since our last podcast, Any messages or anything you've received. I don't
think so nobody wanted to talk to being about me pooping myself last week.
No, nobody didn't know. Nobody reached out about that. Are you listen?
I feel like I had a message, but now I realized I don't
think I saved it. If I did, I think we might have responded
to him and just said thank you. But the only thing I got was
I got a multitude of messages with people's minds being blown of why on Earth
my water heater would be ten thousand dollars because you can buy a water heater
for a few grand at like a home depot. And I thought I said
it on the podcast, but it's very likely I didn't. It's not just
a water heater. I have to get like all of our like pipe stuff
is not up to code, so like you have to get like a legit
plumber in I think to get that permit to get it approved through the city.
Yeah, to get it up to code. You did men tell that
I thought I did. But anyway, one two different people sent actual people
to me. One person sent a plumber they used that was great. Jake
called, They never returned the call. And then another one said, my
husband's a plumber reach out. So Jake called that guy and he came out
and looked at our house this week. So we're waiting on a quote.
So fingers crossed, we do spend less than ten thousand dollars because Hull trust
me. I know, I mean, I know nothing about that stuff,
so I have nothing to say. You can always talk to Andrew. He
will know more than I do if you need someone else to do like,
he will definitely know some stuff. But Jake's father in law can do anything.
I'm talking plumbing, electrical work, laying tile, building a house,
putting windows in. He like can do anything. But he works for himself
and already does this. Like we can't even I don't. We don't even
feel right calling him to come how him do that at our house. If
we had like an emergency, we'd probably call him. Second thing with like
house thing because they have a new addition to finances that I'm adding. Okay,
so we also pay for a like a law and care service. So
they do like motograss in the summer, they do fall clean up. They
were actually doing that today, and we do have fall clean up where they
blow the leaves and get rid of them. And then the biggest thing is
they plow our driveway. So they just send an email saying they're no longer
doing snow removal. We're like f so we had to find new people.
We got someone out super great quote. Well sorry, super great people.
The quote was very average. But for unlimited plows, since you don't do
this, how it usually works is you have to pay in advance for a
certain number of plows period, like even if you only got two plows because
it only snowed twice that year, you have to pay for a certain number
to reserve them. Okay, but like our company, if you go over
that, then it's extra, extra extra. This company was here's the total
price for unlimited. It was twenty five hundred dollars and I was like,
God, I don't want to pay that every year. I was like,
I wish that we know, we could just do it and Jake's and our
neighbor two down from us has a big hill. Also, we have a
crazy hill, like it is not normal. And so Jake was like,
I can do it. If that guy can do it, I can do
it. So now we're getting the most ridiculous three thousand dollars snowplow to save
money over time, because Jake wants a super wide one you can't buy at
home depot, so that in theory it's up one, down one and he's
done because it's wide enough for that. And he we looked at getting the
plow on the front of the truck. All the reviews said, all the
reviews said, do not do that to his specific kind of truck because it
actually is bad for your truck. So it initially stara with Jake saying he
found like a fifteen hundred dollars one, and then he's like, oh,
the reviews are bad on it. I think we need this. When I
was like, you always find a way to fucking find the most expensive shit
every single time, like time. Okay, I agree with that because I've
heard enough stories with Jake, but I would say with this specific item,
I would agree with Jake to get the nicer one especially agree. I mean,
I've seen your guys' driveway, and if he's going to be the one
out there doing that, you definitely want one that works very well and it's
gonna last a while. And I mean, are you guys gonna get it
soon or you're gonna maybe wait till Black Friday? Because that I just brought
that up with Andrew. I said, we need to figure out what we
need and look at Black Friday deals and get it. I guess it'll depend
because if snow starts coming, yeah, we're gonna have to get it.
But that's only like two weeks. Oh, you're right, you'll need it.
You'll need something before the okay, because we are going to probably buy
a snowplow this year, and I said, we should probably make sure we're
monitoring Black Friday deals. If you don't, I said snowpow, I meant
snowblower. We have one if you'd like to buy it, but you're gonna
have to change a spark plug on it. No, I'm not Brian behind
your broken Jenny. It's not. It's just fine. It's been six hundred
dollars on once. Get back to me. I bet You'll be crawling way
how much? How much was that spark plug? Man? Because you're a
cheap ass and I am. You're gonna arrive there like, let's see if
we can find a deal, and you're gonna be go, oh fuck even
like the shittiest ones are like this much, and then I'm gonna get some
little shit ass text from you. Know what would happen is I would buy
from you because Andrew would have claimed that he would have been able to fix
it himself, and he would have gotten a take fixed the spark plug on
it before, which tells me Andrew maybe he could. But I think we've
Andrew and I have put off a couple of things that need to be fixed,
and we just don't need to have one more thing added to the list
of things that need to be fixed. We still haven't put our railing back
up to get upstairs. That is a city code violation. I'm gonna contact
this thing, yeah, immediately lay down. For three months since I painted
our upstairs bedroom, and I when I've done leg day with my trainer and
the next day I can't even get down the stairs fairly because I need that
damn Really, that's on the stairs. So I just think we need to
buy something that is functioning already. We don't need to add something else to
the list of things that like need to be fished for us to use.
Okay, so the brand of our snowblower does not even exist anymore, that
should not be for Are you trying to tell me you're junk right now?
Yes, speaking of I also have a pony. I bought all of her
birthday that she sat on maybe twice, that I'm selling on marketplace right now.
Ooh. If I didn't already have a present for my niece for okay,
I was gonna say maybe I would, it's been too much fun.
I already would be like, no, it's we spent like two point fifty
on this stupid thing. Yeah, no past, and I thought she was
gonna love it, and now I'm trying to sell it for like one seventy
five. I literally bought it in September. No bites, no bites on
itself. I'm just we spent all weekend just like getting rid of stuff.
We try to teach all of about donating. Guess what she's not into.
She's not into donating. As it turns out, I doesn't want to get
rid of anything. No, she all of a sudden was like, God,
I love it that toy like which they I used to do that same
thing. But we just distracted her and we made some hard calls. This
morning, she asked for one of the teacups and I was like, I
looked at Jake. I'm going through that in the trush yesterday. So we
did a bunch of cleaning up this weekend. Jake's got a bunch of bags
of donations. I did more trimming of my bushes. People came to me,
by the way, after the discussion from last week and said, don't
do a greenhouse necessarily because it's like a big, you know, commitment.
This is what they told me, and I was going to share it in
case anyone else was vibing. Okay, this is what they said you do.
They said, google winter sewing. So basically all you need is zip
block bags. I think people do a milk jugs, but I'm not going
to save excuse me, milk jugs. And then you put soil and the
ziplock bags and the seeds in there, Okay, and then it grows and
you can do it without having to get a greenhouse. This stuff interesting.
So I was like, oh, just some ziploc bags and soil dabbed on
it. Yeah, easy enough. Right, Allegedly, I was gonna say
it's easy, I'm going to try it. I would be the same.
I did not inherit a green thumb from my mom, who is a phenomenal
landscape own company. I didn't inherit any of that. You could ask me
what a flower was and I'd be like, I don't know a rose and
it's like a bush, which, to be fair, roses. I do
not know anything about growing plans. So we've talked about your stomach issues.
I posted on my Instagram yesterday. You probably saw it, but I had
to come to a harsh reality. I don't think I can actively seek out
case so anymore. Yeah, I did see you mention that just refue or
what happened every time, And I've finally based it like I've gotten really sick
on KESO multiple times, like where like my stomach immediately starts grumbling. I
hit the toilet a couple of times, and last night we ordered it out
and I immediately started getting sick feeling, and I was like Jake, He's
like, yep, you had to face it. Eventually it's the cao.
I don't know why, kso, but like regular cheese doesn't do that to
me. I don't know if it's some kind of the melting component. I
don't know what that is. I mean, all cheese melts. So I
don't know what I'm saying here at all, but it's a sad reality,
Jenny, And I know what it's like to be you who has stomach issues
with one thing. Yeah, it is a bummer because you enjoy the fine
things in life, like keso, and you want to be able to continue
and enjoy that, or you don't want to feel like craps, so then
you try to start cutting those things out, and then eventually you become weak
and you will eat the keso again. Yeah, and you'll forget about the
stomach issue, and then it'll hit you and then you'll be gosh, I
shouldn't have done that. Yeah, and then you'll forget about it, and
then five months later you'll do it again. Yeah. I don't eat Mexican
food enough, so I'm absolutely going to be like, you know what,
maybe it was just that caso, and then I'm going to like poop in
someone's house. Guarantee if I don't want to, I don't know. You
had a really big weekend though, Yeah, I did share what you want
to share, yes, So I mean if you follow me on Instagram,
you might have seen this already. But I actually auditioned to be the in
arena host for the Minnesota Timberwolves. That's so exciting. So they need a
new host this year. They still have their really awesome host, John Barry,
who's been doing it for many, many seasons, and they're looking for
a new one. And they had reached out to me about a month ago
as if I was interested. It wasn't just mine. It was like an
audition process. So I had a couple of meetings and then they brought me
in for the game on Saturday, and I just was thrown right into it.
And if you don't know this about me, I actually worked for the
Minnesota Timberwolves on their hype squad called the Action Pack for three seasons. I
also interned for them, I think right out of college. I interned for
them for one season. So I know how like the entertainment department of the
Wolves games works because of all the behind the scenes things I've already done in
the past. So I went into it very nervous based on the fact that
I had to memorize an entire script. And I got the script Friday night
at five, right before I had dinner plans with some girlfriends and the game
was Saturday night. So there's like parts of it that are voice of God
where I just read from the script. I'm on the mic, but I'm
reading from a script. Didn't That didn't stress me out at all. Yeah,
but then the stuff that I did have to memorize, it was very
important to hit the sponsor stuff, you know, like say things in a
certain way. I was able to like improve it a little bit to sound
more like my personality. Yeah, but I didn't really know that until I
arrived and I talked to the person in charge of everything, and he was
like, yeah, you know, like I'm not the best at copywriting.
Like, if you want to make this more like sound better to you,
you do what you want. So that helped me a little bit to be
able to know that. Like one of the I mean, I would do
these live reads and they'd be probably like three to four sentences, like a
full paragraph I had to have memorized, and two of those at a time
during a live shot. Oh, I would not. I don't even know
if my brain you know, when you're younger and it's so easy kind of
to memorize things. Yeah, and it's like easy kind of as an adult
to memorize songs. But I don't know if my brain works. I mean,
I know, like if I fucking had to, I could, I
don't know. Man, that's so hard. Yeah, So it was.
It was about so there were three This is very technical and I'm giving more
detail than I need to, but there was like three live hits during the
pregame. Each of those live hits, it had two paragraphs worth of things
I had to have memorized, So like six paragraphs in the pregame that I
had to have memorized. And once I got through that, it was just
easy. There were a couple more live hits I had to have memorized,
but that was just like one paragraph at a time. I was able to
look at it ahead of time. You know. I was just getting through
that pregame stuff that got me nervous, and I screwed up a little bit,
Like I didn't do it word for word, but I never screwed up
to the point where I like didn't know what to say. I just kept
going yeah, And like there was one point where my co host had walked
away because he had like come out with this big inflatable to like I don't
know for one, this promotion we were doing, and he had walked away
to get out of that and change and stuff. And he was supposed to
be there to like popcorn comments about things that were going on on the video
board, and he walked away, and I just had to jump in and
start like commenting on like the fans in the arena doing things and stuff.
And so I kind of just like did what I've learned from radio. I
remember things from when I was on the Action Pack, and I think I
brought the energy that I think I needed to bring. But they are auditioning
other people, so I have no idea. I think I did an okay
job. I would say I think I did better than I anticipated good.
So I'm pretty proud of what I did. And if I do not get
it, it was a great life experience. Yeah, And if I lit
way there, I had to. So they have like call times before the
game and we have to beat pregame always starts like an hour before ball.
Oh god, what's it called. I don't even remember. Off, Yes,
tip off Jesus. So I usually we have to be there about an
hour before that. So I was there. I got there at like four
thirty to get situated, situated and stuff, but I didn't have to be
there till five fifteen and then one year are you done? So the game
got done around like nine thirty. I probably was out of there at like
nine fifty. I had a little meeting with the guy who's the head of
the department, and we kind of chatted about the position and and I like
did try to sell myself at that point. I was like, listen,
I know that, like this was my first game. I think I did
a pretty good job. I wasn't perfect, and I want you to know
that I am very teachable. I was like, I will just show my
track record on the morning show. I went from being a behind the scenes,
part time assistant producer to where I am now. And I was like,
and I'm think I'm pretty easy to work with, Like if you need
me, you need to email me, like I will get back to you.
And so we had a really good conversation after the game, and he
said that he's gonna make the decision within this week. I think it's just
a matter of auditioning the other Do you get free food? I don't know
what the food situation is because we used to get free food on the Action
pack, but now they bring in catered food, like right before the game
starts, and they all eat in the offices Action pack does, and I
didn't really see what like the rest of the department did. So I did
not have any dinner, and I was very nervous all day, so I
forced myself to eat, so I wasn't like jitterating because I didn't have anything
in my stomach, but I could barely eat like a much thing throughout the
day. So I went home and hammered a box of they're called Goodles.
They're like Kraft mac and cheese. Okay, but hammered that box when I
got home. But yeah, it was exciting. And one thing I want
to make sure I say is thank you to you, because not many people
knew I was doing this, and I'm gonna like tear up saying this,
but Fallan is like one of the most supportive friends I've ever had in my
life, and like, like, this is no shame to anyone else because
most of my friends didn't even know I was doing this. But Fallon was
just like so supportive, sent me the nicest text like encouragement, told like
made me feel better because we were texting on Friday about like my anxiety and
like just like she said all the right things to make me feel good.
And I'm just like so grateful to have someone like you because it's like you're
really excited to do certain things in life, and when you have friends like
that backing you up, especially when you're nervous, yeah, anxious, it's
just such a great thing to have. So I do want to make sure
I said thank you for that. So I'm gonna tear up too, of
course. Yeah, no, I agree, Like I just feel like you're
the I don't know who else they're auditioning, so maybe they're perfect for it
too, honestly same, but but since I know you, I just know
you're perfect for it, Like you have like the energy and that's what I
was telling him, Like, they did not email you because they want someone
to like be like a sports cast. They want someone who's fun and that
is just like you, and you bring like a good positive energy wherever you
go. Unless you haven't pooped in a while, then it's questionable. Yeah,
then you might get a little bit of a crabber Jenny. But when
the mic turns on, I continue still turn on. Okay, here's another
question. Did you recognize Davy my brother in law's friend Brandon is Okay,
so Davy my brother in law, his best friend, Brandon is like six
foot five. He's like, just like very you can identify him from from
anywhere. And he texted me and he goes, hey, is Jenny at
the Wolves game throwing out shirts? And I go, well, she's auditioning
for the inn host arena host but I was or whatever I said, And
I go, but yeah, she probably is, and he goes, Dude,
she threw me one. I think she knew it was me. Tell
her that was sick. And I was like, And then I saw later
where he posted where he was sitting. I'm like, I don't know that
she could identify him from there. So I did two different T shirt tosses
and I have no idea what. I just whatever section, like if a
section was standing and I saw a bigger group of people that were all like
hyped and their hands up. I always aim and I'm pretty good at tossing
to where I wanted to go, Yeah, because I did many T shirt
tosses back in the day, and so I like aimed towards a certain group.
But I definitely wasn't like honed in on a person. I just was
like, oh, that looks like a good group. Throw it that way.
There it was. But as soon as I throw out, I pretty
much run back to the band to get a new one, so I don't
pay attention to who got it. So if if I threw one to Brandon,
shout up, but I didn't know, I didn't see his gass in
the crowd. Also, I texted you a picture that Steve O's best friend,
Kevin, he was at the game and he texted me too, was
like is Jay. I was like yeah, and I go, how she
doing. He's like so far good, okay, got great reviews. And
I had texted that to Andrew because I figured you were probably not able to
text him, and he was just like hoping you're so I was like when
Kevin sent me that, I texted Andrew was just like, hey, looks
like she's like doing a good job or whatever. And but yeah. I
was like very excited for you, and I was like, also, Timberwolves
play a lot of games, right, Like, so is that like,
I mean, I know obviously you wouldn't have auditioned because you thought about that
in advance. Are you nervous about having so many games in the mix with
the morning shows early hours? No, I mean there's a couple of weeks
that are gonna be really rough. I've already looked at the schedule, but
I just it's just interesting because this is something that I would have loved to
do when I actually did audition for this position nine years ago when there was
openings and they said no, but like we're doing the action pack. You
should audition for this because we really liked you, but like, you're not
fit for this job. And I was like, totally fine. I had
no radio experience back then when I auditioned, and so it's something that like
I wanted back then, and so when they reached out, I was like,
I love it. I want to do it, and I know it
might get overwhelming at times with the morning show, but I don't go to
bed until like ten thirty most nights, so the weeknight ones, it's not
going to be that late, like, and I know that, like they'll
understand that I need to rush out there as soon as we're done. I
know there's usually like postgame meetings to talk about things, but I think they'll
probably be understanding that I can't stay too long after the game, So I
think it'll be fine. There's just like a couple weeks kind of February March,
where I think it's like a back to back like Friday Saturday, and
then like a Tuesday Wednesday, like within like a week span, where I
think like some of the weeks might get a little hectic and stressful, but
for the most part, they're spread out enough to be able to like have
one here and there and it not feel overwhelming, right, So I think
it'll be fine. I did double check the schedule before I said anything,
because I didn't want to sign myself up for something that was going to like
ruin me. That's smart, yeah, but it's something that I'm like so
excited about that, Like, I think there might be some weeks where,
yeah, I might be a little bit tired and drained, but I know
that once I get there, it will be like that'll be out the door.
Yeah, Because I just have so much fun when I'm there. Yeah.
It's also, uh, when does the season end. I think it
goes into April, so but like beginning of April and then obviously longer if
they make it to playoffs. And I mean they're doing well, they're doing
good at home away games not so much. Yeah, so like they're doing
okay so far, so we'll see. They might go further than the regular
season. I think. Also when you know that it's like a limited time,
it makes it also more doable, which is kind of how it's been
for like doing the TV show for me, Yeah, like knowing this is
I'm really tired right now, but this is going to be like done in
early December, yep, so you can make it through this chunk, you
know. And I feel like the next if they do hire me November I
do have to miss I would have to miss like three games because of our
Tahiti trip. So of course they happen to have three games that we cut
our whole. Yeah, but they are aware of that. And then December
there's like not too much, so it's more like the next year, so
I can kind of get like a grip on how everything is I'll get more
comfortable and then when the schedule gets a little bit more hectic come twenty twenty
four, I think it'll be easy. I do want to say one thing
though, So I wanted to have like the perfect outfit for this game because
I just wanted to like look good, feel good all this stuff. And
I found these great like leather pants and loved it. Wore a jersey and
did you buy the jersey or did they give it to you? Gave it
to Okay, cool? And it was a special City Edition night. So
it's their new City edition jerseys and they're super dope but looking so I love
it. But you had to heap it. Yeah, okay, wish I
wasn't aware. Yeah, I got that price take when he handed it to
me, and I go and I didn't take the price take off right away.
And my friend Tony that works on Action pack, he goes, girl,
we got to get this off. What are you doing? We gotta
get the price tag off. And I looked at Sheridan, the guy who's
in charge, and I go, well, I don't know if I was
like giving this back. He goes, no, that's yours. He's like,
yeah, get the price tag off, He's like, okay, okay.
So I wore that, and then I was like, I'm gonna wear
these sparkly like litterary silver heel booties with the pants, and I thought,
like I walked around in them in the house. I've only worn them for
a New Year's party I hosted like five years ago, and so I walked
around in him in the house. I was like, oh, these actually
aren't too bad. Oh my gosh. By the first quarter, my feet
were cramping, like they were cramping because of the arch in it, and
I thought that they were comfortable enough, but they definitely weren't. And now
I realized that the New Year's party them. I definitely was sitting quite a
bit at that party because he had like a vip booth thing that I could
sit in a bunch and I was not standing in half of the night.
Did you wear them the whole night? I wore him the whole night,
and I but I was lucky because pretty much like halftime, like towards the
end of the second quarter quarter through like the beginning of the third, I
didn't have anything to do, and so he my like stage manager guy.
I guess is what he does he's like, you can go sit in the
back for a while because I told him. I was like, Steven,
this was a poor decision. I shouldn't know one in these And he's like,
he's like, you can go sit in the back. You don't have
much right now if you want to, just like take a breather. And
I was like, yeah, I think I'm probably going to because my feet
aren't feeling the greatest. He's like, yeah, that's why I told you,
you should probably just sit down. So I did have like a little
bit of a break, but I learned my lesson Tina like that used to
work with us. She had texted me, and I don't know how she
found out. I don't know if she saw someone's social media or something,
but she was like, are you doing Wolve stuff again? I go yeah,
And so I'm texting her. I was like, I didn't tell her.
I don't think actually yeah yeah. I was like, I made a
poor decision though I'm in these damn heels and I'm sitting in the back right
now. She was texting me right when I sit in the back. She
goes, girl, we got to get you in your sneaker. Era like
I'll help you with that. If you get the job, I'm going to
help you with that and like get you on your sneach. Shit. Maybe
I told her Saturday morning because I don't care. Maybe I might have told
her at the we went to the illum Candle Warehouse tail. You should bedazzle,
like put jewels all over tennis shoes. Trust me. I have so
many ideas because I of course creeped on other female and arena hosts before going
in on Saturday, so so many other people I've got like ideas from a
like fun outfit kind of like the only one I know and I think she
was someone you looked at is Ali Love from Peloton because she does one in
New York, so yes, And she's lucky because I think she is the
host for the Brooklyn Nets, which I think their colors are black and white,
so she has like so much luck with being able to wear black and
white gear at all times if it's not like actual Brooklyn Nets stuff, So
good for her. Love that for her. I'm gonna have to step up
my green in blue wardrobe if I get this, because I mean, I'll
wear wolves apparel, but you know you can wear like stuff that's not like
say Timberwolves on it too. But yeah, so that was my weekend of
excitement. That's so exciting. And now we're just waiting to hear I know,
and they didn't tell you just that it's hoping. They're hoping to figure
it out sooner than later. They I think they're going to have a decision
probably by like Thursday, because there's a home game tonight and home game Wednesday
night, and so I think whoever else is auditioning, they'll have that done
by then and they'll probably have a decision by then because I know they want
to get the new and arena host in like asaps. Yeah, so we'll
see, Okay, well, good luck, thank you. Exciting and nerve
wracking, and it is like probably just such a relief to have it done.
And it's funny because you'll probably be nervous, not that nervous, but
close to that nervous for like your first few games, and then it'll just
be like everything else where, you're like okay, yep, and if you
make a mistake, it won't like ruin your day. You'll like, yeah,
made a mistake, put it on you know, So sure that's awesome.
Yeah, other than that did you do anything else you had to day
off, Like Jenny actually came in on her day off to recorded this.
That is some dedication to the podcast, you know. Well, I wanted
to make sure we still One thing about doing a podcast is you are successful
if you're like good at it. But then also you want to make sure
that you have your podcast out at the same time every single week, and
you don't want to skip a week and stuff. So I told Philan,
I don't mind. I live five minutes away from the stage. Yeah,
it's not that big of a deal. I would be sitting on my couch
probably looking at tiktoks right now, and I didn't come in and do this,
I know. So other than that, No, Andrew took me off
for brunch yesterday to kind of like celebrate. He also, I'll tell you
this story. So he played the other role of the host the script,
and we practiced together on Friday and Saturday, and he literally was like so
funny. He's like trying to pretend to be an inn arena host and going
back and forth with me. And then I told him the one thing I
was nervous about was, like I have talked on the mic on a stage
before, but I've never had to worry about being in front of a camera
and like, you know, looking at the camera, and so he grabs
my pham roller and he puts it in my face. He goes, this
will be the camera. Just pretend you're looking at the phone roller and she's
like putting it in my face and stuff. And so I have to give
him a big shout out because he was really really helpful and supportive. And
I refused to let him be at the game. He wanted to come to
the game, and I said, no, please, Ye that'll make me
nervous, but yeah, so he took me out for a brunch on Sunday.
We went to the Copper hen I told him the story about how I
said, I basically wanted to have sex with your wedding cake because that's where
your wedding cake was from and I had never had any baked goods from there
before. So we did that and then not much else. I tried to
relax. It's hard. I'm not used to relaxing on a Sunday because we
planned the morning show on Sundays and so it was weird. Like I did
relax, but I don't think my brain knows how to do it. And
you were talking about that on the last podcast when Jake went and took the
kids somewhere and you were like doing a million things and Jake was like,
sit down, like, yeah, chill for a second. It's also funny
because you're right if you take off, but if you only have one day
to take off. For the morning show, you take off Monday, but
for the afternoon show, you have one day. You take off Friday because
you don't want to work until six pm on a Friday. Yeah, but
Sunday is where you do a ton of extra work, so you want Monday
off so you don't have to do the Sunday work. But that's to be
fair, true. I only took this Monday off because I originally was actually
supposed to do the Timberls game tonight. We record this on a Monday if
you're listening on Tuesday or Saturday of the week, by the way, And
so I was supposed to do the Timberls game tonight and I wanted the day
to just prepare for it, so that's why. And then last minute,
well not last minute, but after we had set that up there, like
can you do Saturday instead, So that's why I took it off, and
then I just decided to keep it because I really don't. I don't know
what to do with my vacation days that I have left over because we have
the trip coming up in a few weeks, but I have a couple of
vacation days I still used. I have three, and I'm like, I
just need to take them. So I'm like, I'm gonna take. Zach's
taking off this Friday to use his last one. We both have enough for
like the week of Christmas, but he has one extra, so he's taking
this Friday. So I'm going to take next Friday. Then I'm gonna take
a Thursday and Friday December, I guess because I'm like, I don't know
what to do with them. But I'm my god, I am effing using
my vacation day absolutely and don't. And there's like, I know, I
think you are the same way as me. I felt guilty being off today.
I felt so guilty, and I don't know how to get out of
that mindset because you are allowed to use your vacation days, but I just
feel because I am so I'm the person who puts our show together. Yeah,
I feel like I'm leaving them hanging when I take a day off,
and I didn't take it off for like a big purpose. Like I'm actually
off next Monday too, because my younger sister's supposed to be doing a marathon
and Madison on this coming Sunday. Yeah, so I'm gonna be back in
Wisconsin and I'm not driving back until Monday. So I'm taking next Monday off
too, And I know I'm probably gonna feel like guilty about that. You
shouldn't, but you will, but you shouldn't. Yeah, take your vacation
days. If nothing else is taken away from this podcast, it is,
don't feel guilty. Don't be like us. Yeah, take your vacation days
because you deserve them. Everyone deserves their vacation days. And just do your
best to like actually relax. Yeah, so besides the candles sale, what
else did you do this weekend? I took all of to like a yoga
class, because like kid yoga I can do because it's not real yoga.
Yeah, girls, I hate my wrist. I hate it. Friends invite
me to classes all the time, where I'll get invites from local studios to
come try class. I'm like it is. It isn't you. It's me
like I have wicked wrists and you do tim many downward dogs. I don't
like it. And then we had like celebrate Jake's sisters think this weekend is
like a busy weekend. I finally was just like, Jake really wants to
go to the Stevie Nicks Billy Joel concert. I have a friend selling tickets.
Do you need tickets? No, I got okay tickets. I'm gonna
be honest with you. I got him free once on the radio station out
and I so I was like, I do I want to see Stevie Nicks
so bad, but I've seen her before and I just don't give an ass
about Billy Joel. It's a partial bit for radio where I say, hey,
he's a hack and only has two songs. That's a bit. But
I also just like don't care. So I just texted as brother because Jake's
like, all go by myself, and I'm like, I would never make
you. I would go with you over you going by yourself. So I
texted his brother and his brother were like, oh, I don't really know
their songs, but hell yeah, I love a concert deal because we have
Adam Sandler tickets that I did buy for Sunday, and I honestly thought about
selling, well, when is the Billy Joel? Is that that Friday?
Oh Friday? And then Saturday is Adam Sandler? Okay? Or sorry,
Sunday is Adam Taylor. And I'm like, part of me wants to sell
my Adam Sandler tickets because I'm like, I just don't want to do anything.
Yeah, and I've been saying no, this is one final thing too,
because then I was like November, they say, you know, but
I actually got invited to be on a podcast, and I was like racking
my brain to find a time that worked for them between the TV show and
the radio show. And then I finally was like, what the fuck are
you doing? And I message the lady back and go, hey, I
really want to do this, but can we do them in the beginning of
the year because right now I'm really stretched thin. She was like absolutely,
and I was like, why do I do this to myself? I would
have dreaded that day because I would have had no break. And I'm like,
you can say no, or let's do this in the beginning of the
year, which I did. See a meme that's like we've officially hit let's
let's circle back at the beginning of the year season. I'm like, hell
yeah, I love that season. So anyway, that's it for the podcast.
I think, okay, all right, good well, thanks for hanging
out with us.
