00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:06.559
Welcome to the I'm Still Fun Podcast. I'm Fallin and I'm Jenny, and

2
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:10.080
we have like so much to talk
about and catch up on. The reason

3
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:16.800
this is late again today is because
Jenny got back last night from vacation.

4
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:20.000
I did, so we're going to
dive into vacation. Yes. Also,

5
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:24.199
the reason we were late last week
was because I had a hair appointment,

6
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.519
and now I can reveal the reason
why I wanted my hair done so badly.

7
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:30.559
It's because I started the Jason Show
and I didn't want a ton of

8
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.600
gray hair for my promo pictures that
I took. So that's why I like,

9
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.200
I didn't shift my hair appointment because
it's like, you know, when

10
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.479
you find your person, it's hard
to get in an appointment, and I

11
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:45.200
was looking last minute and I had
so much gray. So those are two

12
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.799
big things that will chat about.
I also put up a ask us anything

13
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:51.960
on Instagram, so we'll get to
some of those questions. And we got

14
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.000
an email, so a lot to
dive into. So you want to start

15
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.240
with your trip, sure, why
not? Okay, let's hear all about

16
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.719
it. I like I loved how
there were It seemed like almost like two

17
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.719
different kinds of vacations in one it
was, which was really cool to see

18
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.640
because I've been to Seattle, but
I haven't done any of those things.

19
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.200
Yeah, we were in We flew
into Seattle. My friend Stuff from high

20
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.000
school lives there, so we ended
up spending the night, just one night

21
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:22.719
at her and her husband Paul's place, and we did some Seattle things.

22
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.879
We went to the Fremont Troll.
We went to the school park called Gasworks.

23
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.200
Carrie Park has a great view of
the city. I've been at Seattle

24
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.680
three times. Every time I've gone
and seen the view of the city from

25
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.599
Carry Park, you could never see
Mount Rainier and you could actually see it

26
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.200
this time because it wasn't clear enough. Yeah, so that was really cool

27
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:42.640
to see. And yeah, we
just did like dinner and stuff like that.

28
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.959
And my friends live in West Seattle, so that's right by a beach

29
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.120
called I'm gonna say it wrong because
my friend correct me. I think it's

30
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.680
Elke Beach, Okay, And we
just kind of hung out there and it's

31
00:01:53.760 --> 00:02:00.439
very kind of San Diego vibes,
like Boardwalkie almost just really chill. A

32
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:05.920
huge beach looks to the I think
that's Olympic Mountains. That you're looking at

33
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.919
from there, and then you can
kind of see the space needle if you're

34
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.439
at one point of the beach.
So that was fun. And then yeah,

35
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.080
we were in Seattle for honestly less
than twenty four hours, and then

36
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.599
we went out to the mountains and
we stayed in Levenworth, Washington, which

37
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:21.919
shout out to TikTok because I'm pretty
sure that's how I found it. It's

38
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.560
just this really cute Bavarian themed town, and I haven't done the full research

39
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:29.120
on it because it's kind of like, well, where did this come from?

40
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:32.039
You know, right, And we
met this couple on one of our

41
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.439
hikes that told us that they were
like, yeah, eleven Were is such

42
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:37.439
an interesting town. It was like
in the eighties. They were like,

43
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.439
well, we're dying, let's just
make everything like Bavarian style and see what

44
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.039
happens. And I blew up.
So I don't have that for sure confirmed.

45
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.759
That's what a couple who lives in
the area or they have a cabin

46
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.159
in the area I had told us, but it kind of sounds like that's

47
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.120
probably what the situation is. Like, it was just kind of a dying

48
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.400
town and they're like, oh,
let's make it a theme a little bit.

49
00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.159
And so, yeah, just a
cute town in the middle of so

50
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.560
many hiking options, outdoor options.
If you mountain bike, if you want

51
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.680
to go down a river, you
want a kayak, And it was really

52
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.599
fun. I will say that the
one hike we did to Kolchuk Lake,

53
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:19.080
it's a very famous hike now on
social media, and I just feel like

54
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.520
there are so many people who underestimate
seeing like, oh, it's four miles

55
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.560
like to the lake, No big
deal, right, I can I can

56
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.840
do four miles, Okay, but
like, can you do four miles of

57
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.039
constant incline basically on a stair master? Yeah. Like, we went to

58
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.120
that hike and we got there at
we left our place at four thirty in

59
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:43.280
the morning, got to the hike, started it by like five thirty,

60
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:49.000
got to the lake by seven thirty. And that's for like me and Andrew,

61
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.840
who are pretty good hikers. And
then my friend's Steph who lives out

62
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.719
there, was with us, and
she also is a decent hiker. So

63
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.719
we went at a pretty fast ish
pace and it took us two hours to

64
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.879
get there and we out there and
luckily, like because we were there so

65
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.680
early, it wasn't very busy.
There's definitely people there, but it wasn't

66
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:08.680
super busy. But then on the
way down, it's like I saw people

67
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.479
hiking in flip flops. I saw, ah, my god, I saw

68
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.920
one couple who literally had no backpacks, nothing on them, and they were

69
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:20.759
just carrying their phones in their hands, which means they had zero water.

70
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:26.800
Yeah whatsoever. We had a water
filter pack with us just in case because

71
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.480
like it was a hot like it
was hot out and whatever. So I

72
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.079
just I feel like social media is
great for certain things, but do your

73
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:39.199
research on things. It's like,
and the best part was we're kind of

74
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.160
being snobby and making fun of some
of these people, like you guys are

75
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.759
idiots, Like, yeah, hike
in flip flops, your feet are probably

76
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:48.879
going to be sore tomorrow. Cool, but like, why would you ever

77
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.079
think that you can do a hike
like this without any water? Yeah,

78
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:58.920
it's it's just dangerous. It's eight
miles round trip, so even like walking

79
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.439
eight miles on a flat surface,
you probably would want some water, you

80
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.240
know. So then we're at dinner
on our last night and we're sitting at

81
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:11.160
the bar and this couple sits down
and they chug their waters and they're both

82
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.560
like oh my god or sorry,
like we just did this hike and we

83
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.040
like did not bring water with us, and Andrew and I are like,

84
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:21.439
oh my god. And then they
say that they did colchuck and we lugged

85
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.160
and we were like, oh wow, whatever. So and then we were

86
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.279
talking to one of the bartenders about
the other hikes that we were doing and

87
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.439
we're like, yeah, we did
colchuck too, and they're like, yeah,

88
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.720
we just like we didn't realize it, blah blah blah blah. And

89
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.879
we had mentioned how we had gotten
there at like five thirty in the morning

90
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.639
and had it done by seven thirty
and they were just getting to the bar

91
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.240
at seven thirty pm, which means
that they probably didn't start it till the

92
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:46.079
middle of the day. And it
was like one hundred degrees out, so

93
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.959
it's like, I don't know.
It was just kind of interesting to see

94
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.079
what social media has done to some
of these outdoor things. That's so interesting

95
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:00.839
to me because I I'm sure I
probably experience I said, even on like

96
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.839
some hikes that I did in banf
but I maybe because I don't hike all

97
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:10.360
the time. Maybe if I was
more confident. I wouldn't I'd see amount

98
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.600
of miles and it wouldn't affect me. I do a lot of research for

99
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:15.920
hikes because I want to make sure
I can. I think I can physically

100
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:21.639
actually do it, So like if
it was eight miles, I would probably

101
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:27.800
try that if Jake was okay,
like he thought he could do it with

102
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.800
all of on his back. But
I would never not be wearing either hiking

103
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.639
boots or tennis shoes. We would
have probably three water bottles for the three

104
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.120
of us, and like big ones
that he would carry in the sack or

105
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.360
I'd carry in a backpack. But
like I would never see a video of

106
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.439
a pretty lake and assume it's a
quick, easy hike. I would never,

107
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:51.040
like I'm too not confident in myself. Maybe, but I'm like,

108
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.079
no way. Honestly, I kind
of joked about it on the Morning show,

109
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.759
but it just felt like natural selection
at its best. I'm sorry,

110
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.600
but I am to make fun of
you a little bit if you think that

111
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.519
you can just go out and nature
and do things like that, because I

112
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.600
genuinely am concerned for your health at
that point, to the point where there

113
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:10.879
were some people I saw that I
was almost gonna like offer them some water

114
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.360
because anyways, but regardless of all
that, that has nothing to do with

115
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.839
us. We still had a great
time on this hike, and really we

116
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.600
just did a ton of hiking.
I think the craziest thing that happened was

117
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.720
I was waiting in line at this
coffee shop and I see this girl sit

118
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.839
down and I was like, I
feel like I know her, and I'm

119
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.879
like looking at her and then I
like, look up who I think she

120
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.680
is on Instagram? Yeah, and
I'm like, oh my god, I

121
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:38.079
swear that's her. And her most
recent story that she had posted was almost

122
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.920
a day before and it was geotag
to a place in Idaho. So I

123
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.160
was like, okay, Idaho's like
poscous, you know, it borders Washington,

124
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:47.920
So I was like, that might
be her. And then I felt

125
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:50.839
like she was there with her partner, and I'm like, okay, I'm

126
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.240
just going to go up to this
person and be like callie, you know,

127
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.639
and say like hey, and luckily
just to see and if they didn't

128
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:03.240
react right away like hey, yeah, like I would know right, but

129
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.800
I go up and she immediately got
up at you guys. God, I

130
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.040
thought it was you, and so
we So I run into this random couple

131
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.560
I know through acquaintances, Like I
don't know them super well. We've been

132
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.519
at some things side yeah, and
a lot of I've ended up finding out

133
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:20.839
that a lot of people I knew
were going to Odessa at the Gorge over

134
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.439
the weekend because they were playing in
their final shows of this tour. I

135
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.959
don't know if they played Thursday,
but they played Friday and Saturday too,

136
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:31.040
And we almost went to the Saturday
show because like they were going. The

137
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.360
people I ran into, I was
saying, you told me you were thinking

138
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:35.799
about it, so we were.
But they told me that the Gorge was

139
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.919
only about fifty five minutes away from
Levenworth, and when we looked it up,

140
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.519
it was an hour and a half
away from Lovenworth And that's like quite

141
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.240
a big difference of having a drive
through mountains at night after a long day.

142
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.480
So it would have been like we
did the col Chuck Lake hike,

143
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.559
got up at four in the morning, you know, and then like rested

144
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.720
for a little bit and then went
to the concert, and we just we

145
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.279
both decided, like that's too long
of a drive. And I'm pretty be

146
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.720
honestly in the end that we didn't
do it, because I did see updates

147
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.159
about it because they're from I think
Seattle or at least Washington, so we

148
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.120
knew that it was going to be
just this giant like finale of a show.

149
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:15.720
Well, they didn't even get to
do their big encore that I think

150
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.600
would have had tons of fireworks because
a brush fire started on their final song

151
00:09:18.679 --> 00:09:24.720
before the enoreh yeah, and they
had to cut the show short, so

152
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:28.600
they didn't even on that night,
the last show. Yes, they didn't

153
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:31.120
even get to do that. And
then I also saw that the show didn't

154
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:33.480
start till nine forty five, which
means Google lied because it said the concert

155
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.879
was seven and nine. Oh come. I mean there were like a bunch

156
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:39.679
of openers, but Odessa didn't go
on till nine forty five. And I

157
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.799
was like, thank god we did
not end up getting tickets for this,

158
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.919
because I would have been so dead
and exhausted. I know that. I

159
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.000
think on the podcast you talked about
you were going to do a crazy long

160
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.120
hike, and you and I had
talked about in advance because I was like,

161
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.679
are you still doing it? And
you were pretty bummed, but you

162
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.960
didn't do it. Because because it
was going to be like so hot.

163
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.639
But honestly, in the end,
that wasn't really the factor that made us

164
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.600
decide not to because actually it was
like our friends from Seattle, one of

165
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:13.600
them had done it before, and
they were kind of like, I'm gonna

166
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:16.399
be honest, I don't think that
this hike is worth it yet because fun

167
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.000
fact, which like I do a
lot of research on things, but I

168
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.759
didn't understand this is most of those
lakes in Washington, that our glacial lakes

169
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.679
are still frozen, like a ton
of them are, and or actually in

170
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.519
the last week or two they've they're
not whatever I said this wrong earlier,

171
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:35.519
So now I'm in my head about
it. They've dethowed is that the right

172
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.360
way I think I said unthought earlier? Oh okay, gotcha, I don't

173
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.720
know. Whatever you to say they
aren't thought yet, Yeah, I mean

174
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:48.039
whatever. And so they told us
that honestly, there's just so much snow

175
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.919
on this one area of that hike
still, and a couple of the main

176
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.240
lakes are still frozen over, and
they're like, it's not like it depends

177
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.120
on what you care about seeing in
a hike, but if you're caring about

178
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.240
seeing really like the actual landscape.
It's not the best time to go quite

179
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:05.360
yet. Yeah, so the hike
I was just talking about, that's the

180
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:09.240
eight mile one that people were going
to because of social media. That's where

181
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.320
you start, and that's like the
first lake you get to before you do

182
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:16.679
something called Asgard's Pass, which is
just this insane incline over a mountain ridge.

183
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.039
So you can see where I would
have been hiking and a lot of

184
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.879
those photos, and yeah, we
decided against doing that, and we were

185
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.080
convinced also by some other locals because
we talked to so many different people at

186
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:31.000
hikes and stuff, and they were
like, they're called larches, but basically

187
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.240
in the fall, it's like,
you know, your fall colors and the

188
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:37.639
larches are so pretty, they said, And so we kind of were like,

189
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:39.360
I don't know, maybe we shoot
back out to Seattle, go visit

190
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.279
our friends again and like try to
do it in the fall and just do

191
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.879
like that one hike. And then
honestly, in the end, I feel

192
00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.480
like we were able to do more
because we weren't doing such an intense hike

193
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.879
h and we got to do different
hikes, And the last hike was that

194
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.919
we did because we hiked for four
days straight and the last one we did

195
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.879
was kind of a last minute that
I found that I thought was worth it,

196
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:05.759
and I convinced Andrew that we should
do that one versus a different one

197
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.759
we thought about doing. And in
the end he was so happy. He

198
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:09.919
was like, this might be one
of the coolest things I've ever done.

199
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.159
And I'm like, you know those
moments where you like, see, I

200
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.799
was right, I refrain from doing
that. Yeah, I refrain, but

201
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.559
I was so eed. And we
also met this dope ass couple. They

202
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.879
were probably in like their fifties,
but they were just like badass hikers at

203
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.360
the top of this mountain peak and
they gave us so many cool, like

204
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.360
insider facts about hikes. We learned
the term lollipop, it's a certain kind

205
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.480
of way you hike around certain things, whatever. And then they also gave

206
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:41.720
us one of the best tips I've
ever been given. So, the Seattle

207
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.960
Airport is under construction right now,
okay, And they said that, like

208
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.360
this woman's sister waited in line at
TSA for like three and a half hours

209
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.120
and then missed their flights. No, so she was like, there's something

210
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.840
I'm going to look it up real
quick so that I can give everyone this

211
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.039
info, but also I'll have all
this on my blog that I'm going to

212
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:01.759
have up and like then day or
two. And what's your blog again,

213
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.080
Jenny is If anyone forgot that were
new to the podcast, it is meet

214
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:07.440
me off grid dot com. Oh
thank you, and yeah, I have

215
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.799
like everything pretty much already typed out. I just have to like basically design

216
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:16.639
the blog. My friend Abby based
her entire Grand Tee Times trip on your

217
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.440
blog. She loved it so and
I'm really happy to hear that. So

218
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.600
there's something at the Seattle Airport called
the spot Saver. You can go online

219
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:33.399
and you schedule a time to show
up to TSA and get in. And

220
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.440
I'm not kidding you, Like it
wasn't as bad as we were anticipating.

221
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.840
But we showed up, had like
a QR code for noon, got there

222
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.159
right at noon, even though they
did tell us you should get there like

223
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.200
a half hour early still just in
case, but we got there right at

224
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.840
noon. We scanned the QR code, we walked right in. There was

225
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.000
like two people in front of us, WHOA. I think we got through

226
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.360
faster than like some of the clear
people did. Yeah, so it's called

227
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.279
spot Saver, like probably just look
up Seattle spot Saver Airport. Yeah,

228
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.559
something like that. But it was
so dope. And they also advised us

229
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.799
to go to checkpoint five, and
she said that usually it'll like tell you

230
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:09.399
you have to do like two or
three, but like you can still go

231
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.759
to the other one. She said, checkpoint five is the fastest. So

232
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.840
we got through TSA so quick.
It's awesome. But I did get a

233
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.519
little bit scared once that woman was
like I mean, she was a local

234
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:22.240
and like was giving us all the
tips and stuff, so I was like,

235
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.559
God, we can't miss our flight. Like her sister literally ended up

236
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.960
having to drive for and her husband
because they couldn't find another flight and her

237
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.960
husband's a dentist. Oh god,
they had to get back. So anyways,

238
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:35.159
those are probably the highlights from the
trip. Like I said, I'm

239
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:41.159
gonna have like full just like things
we did hikes. I recommend more details

240
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.919
and stuff up on the blog and
the next like day or two. It's

241
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:48.320
funny because the video you posted the
video on your stories where it was like

242
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:52.320
someone else's video of like share the
pictures, share the bloo. I love

243
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.360
seeing and I that had been on
my You and I have similar algorithms,

244
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.720
it seems I had seen that,
like honestly, I think maybe the day

245
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.879
of or day before you posted,
and I was like, and I totally

246
00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:05.480
agree with that, and I was
so happy you like were posting so much

247
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:11.039
more on your vacation. Because I
go back and forth on posting. I

248
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:18.639
get in my head of is this
braggy, But I never feel like that

249
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.240
when I look at other people's stories, right, So I'm like, I

250
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.679
don't think people actually care. I
mean, if you're like in a bad

251
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:28.960
spot anyway, everything's probably going to
piss you off. But most people are

252
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:33.200
probably not like, oh, what
a braggy thing, Like it's just oh,

253
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.120
that's like awesome, and also it
gives people ideas. So I love

254
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.799
that you were like sharing so much
more than like you even normally do.

255
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.080
Probably I know, I definitely did, just because I don't know. I

256
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:50.639
just I It's such a like in
between of like I want everyone to know

257
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.080
about these hikes that I do,
but I also hate going to hikes that

258
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.000
are like crowded. So it's like
I want to share this with everyone because

259
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.080
I want you to experience it,
but at the same time. I don't

260
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.519
want to be there when it's crowded. Yeah, I don't know. Like

261
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.039
the couple we met at that peak, they were like, well, don't

262
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.720
let anyone else know about these things
we're telling you, and I was like,

263
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:14.200
Okay, well don't tell them.
I've got a podcast. I also

264
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.679
saw it was funny on the fourth
of July week, and which I know

265
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:19.000
is busy anyway, especially for like
state parks and stuff. But I think

266
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:22.080
it was like that week or week
after, I was scrolling and saw someone

267
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:27.440
post a video of the line to
get into Yosemite. Oh my gosh,

268
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.320
crazy. It was insane. They
just kept driving, kept driving, and

269
00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.399
it was cause they were in the
other lane. And I was like,

270
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:34.679
I was telling Jake, I'm like, I don't know how we've gotten so

271
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:38.879
lucky with national parks because I seeople
post videos like that all the time.

272
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:41.360
He's like, you just happened to
He's like, we just get lucky with

273
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.759
picking a lucky week, like bam. I had no idea when I picked

274
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.759
that week. I booked it because
of a plane deal. I didn't know

275
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.240
it was the week before school lets
out, and also things were like one

276
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:56.000
of our hikes still had a tiny
bit of snow and it was muddy,

277
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.879
icy and some spots doable. But
I didn't realize that necessarily when I was

278
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.240
booking. Yeah, so we that
was a good time. But when we

279
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.079
did Yosemite, it wasn't like that
at all. It was just one in

280
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.839
August, right, Yeah, it
was like that's when we've done every trip

281
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.960
except for the bamfull, and we've
done August, and I don't know,

282
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.559
we've been like really lucky, I
guess because Yosemite was not crazy at all.

283
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.519
So I don't know. And we're
gonna come right back to that.

284
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.920
We're gonna take a little quick,
quick, quick break quick. Yeah.

285
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:29.640
I talked about this recipe a while
back because I wanted to try it where

286
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:32.440
it's like a cottage cheese. I
do a cup of cottage cheese, like

287
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.000
a couple of tablespoons with the cacaw
bliss, and then I'll put like a

288
00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.160
little syrup or honey in there.
I do the food processor. It's almost

289
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.680
like a chocolate moose. My friend
tried it. She forgot the refrigerator process.

290
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.680
You have to put it in the
refrigerator for like thirty minutes or it's

291
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.759
kind of soupy. Yeah. Jake, who's been on like a fitness freak

292
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.559
lately, he has been doing this
every single night. It's his little sweet

293
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.400
treat. So I want to throw
it out there again. To try it

294
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:59.839
out is delightful. It is so
fun to find something that kind of craves

295
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:04.079
a sweet cravings. Yeah for here's
of sweet cravings, but then also as

296
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:10.599
healthy for you because the cacawblist does
help with your digestion, which helps your

297
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.559
queen of digestion needs over here,
yeah over here, like eh, It's

298
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.240
like it's like I love chocolate,
don't get me wrong, but chocolate in

299
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:19.799
itself is not great from a system. So I get Cobblest kind of gives

300
00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:22.880
me that like in between of health. But chocolate food well, they have

301
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:27.039
like ten superfoods in it, so
I think that probably is what helps.

302
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.160
And I always want to throw this
out there. Keto and vegan friendly,

303
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:33.119
and I know that's really important to
so many people. My sister was just

304
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:37.079
in town with so many dietary restrictions
and I'm like, you could actually have

discount code is fun. Now back to

310
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.160
the episode. I guess my thing
really quickly is just yeah, I filled

311
00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:06.960
in on the Jason Show, which
if you don't watch, he's on Fox.

312
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:10.519
It's like an entertainment show is one
hour. And I did that like

313
00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:14.519
at the end of last year for
three months, and I really enjoyed it.

314
00:19:14.920 --> 00:19:19.319
So that was that I've never had
a desire to do TV. Well,

315
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:21.960
that's to me not sure. I
think when I was younger, I

316
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:23.519
probably had the dream to be like
on E News, you know, Oh

317
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.720
that'd be so fun. But I
then as I got older and realized that

318
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:34.000
wasn't gonna happen. I always kind
of thought of TV Mora's News, and

319
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:37.599
I was like, that is not
me at all. I have no interest

320
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.079
in news. And so when I
filled it on the show, I really

321
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:44.200
liked it. Still wasn't like,
oh, my dream is to do TV.

322
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:47.559
But when he reached out and asked
me, you know, Jenny is

323
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:48.960
one of the only people like I
told her pretty early on, even though

324
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:53.920
I wasn't supposed to tell anyone while
I came. I know, but like

325
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.640
literally I think Jason said he only
his husband and mom knew, which made

326
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:02.079
me laugh that I told you just
I don't know, like who am I

327
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:06.559
gonna tell you loose lips? But
yeah, so I've known for a while.

328
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:11.160
And so yesterday was my first day. Today second obviously, and it's

329
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.200
a lot but a lot of people
have asked, you know, are you

330
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.599
going to be able to stay at
Katie w B blah blah blah. Yeah,

331
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.960
I am, like it was never
like I'll be my My main income

332
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:29.359
comes from KATIEWB, not from doing
TV, so that I'm not leaving the

333
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:33.319
radio number one. And I think, you know, when I was doing

334
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:37.720
the podcast before, when I was
doing I would come in a lot of

335
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:41.079
the time, and I was tired. I do think I am just in

336
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.799
a better place mentally now and I
think, I don't know, I just

337
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:48.839
I feel like I'm in a much
healthier place than I was. So I

338
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:56.000
think that I'm not as worried about
the balance of it this time. Yeah,

339
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.839
so we'll see. One of the
key things was they did say.

340
00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:03.000
They knew it was a lot to
do both, so they were very flexible

341
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.119
with my schedule. So if they're
like they were like, if you want

342
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:07.680
off every Friday, you can have
a hair I don't want off every Friday.

343
00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:11.640
But it's kind of like they wanted
to make it clear if your film

344
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:12.880
burnout, if you need to go
get your hair done, because it's one

345
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.680
of the jokes I made to go
I didn't even have time to do my

346
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.839
hair because hair appointments are three hours
for me. I don't have that big

347
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:21.839
of a break in between the two
shows. They're like, you can take

348
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:23.160
any day off you want. I'm
like, okay, so yeah, and

349
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:27.599
we're off like the whole month of
August pretty much because they're rebuilding his whole

350
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:32.039
set. Oh, because the tenth
season kicks off in September, so it's

351
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:33.759
like I'm getting there like a kind
of a cool time where it's like a

352
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:37.279
whole new set's being built. So
we have three, I think the whole

353
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.640
three weeks off in August. It's
crazy. So I'm excited a lot of

354
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.519
positivity, a lot of kindness,
So thanks to everyone for that, and

355
00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:52.880
I did post some like actually I'll
do the email first that we got.

356
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:56.519
I don't know if you were on
it, you said, Jenny, but

357
00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.720
I I was, but I apologize
if I was. I just don't think

358
00:21:59.720 --> 00:22:02.599
I saw you know, come in
trying to find it. Here we go,

359
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:04.680
you were not, but it is. I say hello, Jenny and

360
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:08.960
Fallon, so you are included.
Love your guys' new podcast. I find

361
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:11.920
myself hitting refreshed to see if there
is a new episode yet, then I'm

362
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.119
sad when I finish it. Thank
you. You two are so open,

363
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:19.240
and I wanted to reach out and
ask what you guys do to do a

364
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:25.000
reset? Backstory we have. We've
had a really crappy twenty twenty four.

365
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:29.680
My husband and I have both lost
a parent since January. One parent where

366
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:33.279
we had to deal with the estate
and selling all the assets. And to

367
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.680
top all this with raising a toddler, catching every illness, working full time

368
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:40.880
jobs, home maintenance. I could
go on, and with dealing with the

369
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:45.680
grief of losing two people so close, so suddenly and unexpectedly. I'm not

370
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.920
here looking for a pity party,
but it's been blank and hard. I

371
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.160
find myself so paralyzed in not knowing
what to do. Some days, like

372
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:55.960
should I make the bed or do
the laundry. Is there something you guys

373
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:59.240
do, even something small, that
makes makes it feel like a reset,

374
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.559
something where you do it every day
and it sets you up for a successful

375
00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:06.200
day. I've heard of the Sunday
reset a lot of people do, but

376
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:07.960
wanted to see if you guys had
anything you do. I know life needs

377
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:11.960
to go on, but I'm looking
for some advice or motivation from an outsider

378
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:15.839
on what works for them. Sorry
if that was long, not too long.

379
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:19.720
First of all, I'm so sorry
both for both of you to lose

380
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:26.119
a parent so suddenly and unexpectively.
Like you said, I can't imagine the

381
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.440
grief, and from what i've I
haven't lost anyone that close to me,

382
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:34.599
thankfully as far as a family.
But everything I've seen is they say that

383
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:40.680
grief just goes in waves, like
you may not even feel anything in the

384
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:42.079
beginning, and then it hits you
or you feel it a lot, and

385
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:45.839
then you're like, you're wondering if
something's wrong with you, because you're like,

386
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.000
am I over this? And then
you'll see something or hear something and

387
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.000
it hits you, so I hear
it goes in waves and so I'm just

388
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.279
so sorry since January, that's very
recently at a toddler in the mix,

389
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:02.599
that's exhausting, full time jobs in
the mix. I was trying to think

390
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:04.039
of things that I do to reset. Do you have any that come to

391
00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:08.119
mind immediately? So the problem is
is that I live a life that I

392
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.240
don't have a child to worry about, so I feel like mine might not

393
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:15.039
be as helpful. But I was
having like a tough time a couple weeks

394
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:19.880
ago, and I literally went to
a lake, hung my hammock and read

395
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:23.119
a book and I left my phone
at home the entire time. I did

396
00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:26.240
not bring my phone with me.
But I feel like that's not feasible for

397
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:30.279
a lot of people. And I
feel like that was really helpful to me,

398
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.400
because your phone is such a crutch
sometimes to look at and I'm trying

399
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:40.279
to trade my brain to either a
figure out how to be bored without looking

400
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:42.759
at my phone constantly, because I
don't think my phone is like super great

401
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:47.720
for my mental health a lot of
times, or be just being able to

402
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:52.839
like fully read a book and not
be distracted by anything else around me,

403
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:56.079
And I feel like it was really
helpful for me. One thing I will

404
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.799
say, is it sounds like you
know, you said, do I make

405
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.680
my bed or do I do whatever? Like how you don't even know you

406
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:06.720
can't even get yourself to do certain
things. I mean, I've been there

407
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:11.079
before too, and I make lists
and I follow my lists, and I

408
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.559
just like seeing them written out helps
me realize like this and this and this

409
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:18.960
will happen. And when I start
accomplishing things on my list, I feel

410
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.359
like a better human with my day. And I don't know, it's like

411
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:25.920
some days I have the motivation and
I can just get up and I start

412
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:30.599
doing things. But like having a
list has always motivated me further, and

413
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:36.119
it also makes me feel less overwhelmed
because in my head I'm thinking I have

414
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.759
a million things to do. When
it's physically in front of me on a

415
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:41.160
piece of paper, I realize,
oh, it's actually like not as many

416
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:47.160
things. So even if it is
literally like your laundry and putting the dishes

417
00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:51.599
away and making your bed, I
write it down and like have it there

418
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:53.720
and check it off. YEA.
When you hit that check mark or cross

419
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.079
it off or whatever you want to
do, it's like this great feeling,

420
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.559
like I don't know, for me, it is. Yeah, yeah,

421
00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:06.039
I like I have like list and
then I but I don't ever make them

422
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:11.480
regularly. One thing that is I
feel like so obvious is I like going

423
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.359
for walks. That's just what I
do. I go for walks by myself,

424
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.200
and it's probably good to just not
have your phone, but I always

425
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:22.240
listen to a podcast or music.
I don't know, it sounds like,

426
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:26.880
you know, maybe you could be
like I need a thirty minute walk,

427
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:29.640
and I don't know if you will
walk through your neighborhood. That's what I

428
00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:32.400
do. I just go through my
neighborhood and have your partner watch the kid

429
00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:37.079
for thirty minutes and maybe they tag
you back in. That's just for me

430
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:40.960
to clear my head. Another thing, when I start thinking of all the

431
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.359
things I have to do, that
is consuming. So I've started doing,

432
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:48.000
like, instead of being like,
here are all the things I need to

433
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.000
do, I will like give myself
five to ten minutes to do as much

434
00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:56.680
as I can and just be and
it accomplishes a lot. Like in that

435
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.839
five or ten minutes, I can
get laundry folded, pick up the crap

436
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:04.240
on the counters, and put like
a few items back where they belong.

437
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:08.119
Like all of his toys or whatever, and I feel a lot better,

438
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:14.960
or vacuum and clean up this thing, so I don't do like, oh

439
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.079
Sundays my day that I like,
am going to clean the whole house.

440
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:19.799
That's too much. That feels like
a lot to me, and like I'll

441
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:23.680
never get anything else accomplished. I
don't set a timer, but I know

442
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:26.480
a lot of people will set like
a five or ten minute timer just to

443
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:33.599
like to reset. If you will, I would say, also just doing

444
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.799
anything to make your life easier for
the time being. If that means maybe

445
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.519
you hire someone to clean your house
once a month if you can afford it,

446
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:47.839
honestly, and you're and so that
you just take something off your list,

447
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:53.079
or you make i don't know,
like a crock pot meal that's easy

448
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.440
where throw everything in and then you
have, like dinner is done for the

449
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.759
next three or four days, so
you don't have to think about that.

450
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:03.279
I don't know if any of that
helps. I'm just really sorry that you're

451
00:28:03.359 --> 00:28:07.039
going through that. I mean,
obviously I was lucky and I found painting

452
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:12.480
and that's been good for me,
and that when I do do it,

453
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:15.960
I can't think of anything else but
that's not going to be the thing for

454
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:19.119
everyone. So maybe there's something you
can do where you can block out.

455
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:25.759
Yeah, I was just saying occasually
something that's like kind of creative really helps

456
00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:29.240
you out, because that's how I
feel like working out's great for my mental

457
00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:33.759
health. It doesn't necessarily get me
out of my head like for certain things,

458
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.480
but when I sit down and I
feel like I've been creative on my

459
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.839
blog and accomplish a bunch of stuff, like it is kind of work,

460
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.920
but it is like a different kind
of thing for me to do outside of

461
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.480
like what I do at the morning
show, and I just feel so accomplished

462
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.720
and like I was able to tap
into a different part of my brain that

463
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.119
I'm not used to using. Yeah. So I don't know exactly how to

464
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.559
describe that feeling, but it does
feel good. Right, Okay, let's

465
00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:06.440
dive into some of the questions we
got on Instagram. I sent these to

466
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:07.599
you, Jenny, so I'm going
to look on the text between us.

467
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:12.799
Okay, what was your favorite TV
show as a kid? Probably the OC

468
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.240
Oh. I was thinking, like
little kid, I want Power Rangers.

469
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.079
Oh okay, but if I went
like high school Dawson's Creek. I was

470
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.880
probably a rug Rats girl, okay, but then that in between I did

471
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:33.359
love Full House. I think that
was my favorite. Yeah, let's see

472
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:37.920
go to order at a bar.
Probably a vodka soda with lime. Yeah,

473
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:41.359
I'm probably in the same area.
I know. Honestly, I'm wine

474
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.039
now. If I drink, I
will have rarely do wine, like rare

475
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:52.240
if it's summer and they have like
a cold refreshing kind of like orange wine

476
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.039
or rose or I mean even White's
fine or whatever. I might do one

477
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:00.839
glass. It just hits my headaches. Best time to visit Minnesota, I

478
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:07.279
don't enjoy sweating September October probably,
yeah, for sure. I mean realistically,

479
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:10.599
the last couple weeks of September into
the beginning of October. If you

480
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:15.480
want the beautiful fall colors exactly,
and there's just yeah, it's gorgeous at

481
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.880
that time in perfect weather mostly and
you could still maybe even go out on

482
00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:25.240
a boat at that time. Yeah, early Like okay, uh, this

483
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:26.680
made me laugh and I almost feel
like we should do it now. This

484
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:32.119
is not a question, but I
sing the podcast titled to Barbie's I'm just

485
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:37.440
kin I'm still fine. I just
love that so that's from Rebecca, and

486
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:41.000
I'm like Rebecca. That should be
our new uh the song theme song?

487
00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:45.160
Yeah, I liked this one.
Do you crumple or fold? Crumple me

488
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:48.200
too? Yeah? Oh what up? Crumple still skin? Okay? Over

489
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:56.920
there products you always have in your
purse chopstick, chopstick, lipstick and not

490
00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:00.279
even like I have like forty lipsticks
in my purse. Really, I have

491
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:04.119
so many, I don't. I
mean, I only have lipstick if I'm

492
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:07.519
out on like a weekend or something
like I carry a backpack into work.

493
00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:11.319
I don't carry any makeup in there
that. I don't know why I have

494
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:15.559
so many. I think it's like
lipstick is probably the makeup that feels makes

495
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.799
me feel the most confident. So
maybe that's why. Yeah, which goes

496
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.240
into how do you have so much
confidence in yourself? Well, I would

497
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:29.279
say Jenny and I both don't,
but we are confident in certain areas yep,

498
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:33.599
definitely, But we both have our
insecurities yeah, and areas too so.

499
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.400
But I would say a lot of
my confidence has come with age,

500
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:42.599
that's for sure, and trying to
care less about what people who are not

501
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:48.160
important to me think of me.
Yeah, I think my confidence comes out

502
00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:56.519
in a lack of knowing on my
end, because I think I've always been

503
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.759
maybe my mom just entitled me to
this, or I don't like lifted me.

504
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:05.200
I'm very vocal on what I do
and don't like, and I think

505
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:08.319
so because of that, I've just
never been afraid to say that. And

506
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:13.079
I think that comes across as super
confident. But I think it's just like

507
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.160
I'm I don't mind. It's not
that I like conflict. It's just that

508
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:23.240
like I'm more concerned with making myself
happy, yeah, which is a selfish

509
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:29.519
thing to a degree. So I
think it's almost like ignorant confidence that I

510
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:32.680
have. Yeah, I mean,
I don't know. I mean it's hard

511
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:37.880
to speak for you and your confidence, but yeah, I don't know.

512
00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:42.200
I feel like, for me,
as an outsider looking in on your life,

513
00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:46.839
I've just always like admired your confidence, like speaking on the radio and

514
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:50.559
being on TV and stuff like that. And I know it's like your job

515
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.279
and obviously I work in radio too, but like I think I just like

516
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:58.440
become so much more insecure about like
if I screw up, oh yeah,

517
00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:01.160
things, But I know I'm not
trying to drag myself down right now.

518
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:04.359
But I just think you're so talented. So it's like, thank you,

519
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.440
Jenny, you are as well,
but I appreciate it. Yeah, you're

520
00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.400
just so good at what you do. I am. I am confident in

521
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:15.160
like radio. TV's too new for
me. I am confident radio. I

522
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:19.039
mean I've been doing it for over
twenty years now, so I think that

523
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:22.759
that probably came with time I've been. I still get insecure about things like

524
00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:24.119
do people like us, do people
like the show? Do they think that

525
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:30.480
bit was funny? But I feel
confident that I do a good job.

526
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:34.240
So there are off days, for
sure, we all have those. But

527
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:36.680
I would say the same for you. You've been doing it long enough.

528
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:39.559
You're good at your job, you
know. I mean, you were Producer

529
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:45.559
of the fucking Year, Jenny.
Helloh okay, do you want to have

530
00:33:45.599 --> 00:33:52.000
your own morning show one day?
Jenny? What do you think right now?

531
00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:57.359
Probably not? I don't know.
I'm not saying you don't have to

532
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.960
want that. Yeah, I not. Everyone that works in radio wants to

533
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:05.519
have their own morning show. I
would love to have my own podcast.

534
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.199
That is like I want me to
leave. Yeah. Anyways, this is

535
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:15.079
me letting you know that I'm so
fun with Jenny now. No, I

536
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:20.000
would love to really have my own
podcast about something I really am passionate about

537
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:24.800
that's just mine yep. But truthfully, if I want to dive into something

538
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:29.599
that's just mine, that means I
can't work in radio anymore because yeah,

539
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:34.639
it's just politics and how things work
here. So maybe that will be the

540
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:38.280
goal for me someday. Yeah,
what about you? Yeah, I do.

541
00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:42.000
I think having my own morning show
has been my goal for a pretty

542
00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:47.039
long time, but I don't know
if it'll ever happen. So I'm trying

543
00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:52.039
to like allow myself to be more
open to other possibilities as well. Yeah,

544
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:54.519
I guess is how it phrase it? Yes, I would like if

545
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:59.000
they came to me more on they're
like, well, I will say this.

546
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.079
I've had the opportunity to do a
morning show, but it was somewhere

547
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:05.800
I didn't want to do a morning
show, yeah, or a station I

548
00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:08.039
didn't want to do a morning show
on. So I'm not willing. I

549
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:13.360
don't want it enough that I would
do it anywhere or any like or any

550
00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:20.440
on any station. It would have
to be specific. So what is okay?

551
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:22.760
I love your in Jenny's dynamic.
What do you like the most about

552
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:30.079
each other's personality? God, Jenny's
just I mean, people says on the

553
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:32.119
radio all the time. I mean, Jenny makes me laugh. But I

554
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:38.119
think Jenny's just genuine and she's so
good to her core. I think she's

555
00:35:38.159 --> 00:35:46.519
like a good compass in life of
Like, it's really easy to be around

556
00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:58.159
someone who you know has just genuine
intentions. They're supportive, they're I don't

557
00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:02.159
know, I think you are as
for what is good and who wouldn't want

558
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:07.000
to be around a human like that. Oh that's so nice. It's the

559
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.519
truth. It is God, you're
making me blush over here. I will

560
00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:14.840
get to you in a second.
But what you just said. I was

561
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:17.039
just at this wedding and the maid
of honor speech, like I just like

562
00:36:17.559 --> 00:36:22.239
want a friend who whatever speak to
me like how she did, because she's

563
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:25.760
talked about the bride and how she
is just this beam of sunlight and and

564
00:36:25.840 --> 00:36:29.880
like just went on and on about
this girl's personality and she is she is

565
00:36:29.920 --> 00:36:34.360
the sweetest, kindest, just fun
loving human. And I was like,

566
00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:37.639
God, those are like friendship goals
right there, the way they describe she

567
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:39.599
described her whatever. And now I
like kind of feel like I got a

568
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:44.719
little bit of that. We know
I'm probably never so there. I want

569
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:49.760
the honor speech out there. Yeah, for Fallon, I would say that

570
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:53.400
this industry is not necessarily an industry
where you can get into it and immediately

571
00:36:53.480 --> 00:36:59.920
hit it off with like people you
necessarily work with or that they're willing to

572
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.320
you go out of their way to
help you. And Fallen, like,

573
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:07.719
I wouldn't be here without fallin like
period and back in radio from like yeah,

574
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:09.679
I got my internship back in the
day, but Fallen was nice enough

575
00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:14.920
to get coffee with me. And
I just think that like you are always

576
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:17.159
looking out for your friends, You're
always there for people when they need them.

577
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:21.280
You check in on people. I
feel like I'm trying to be a

578
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:24.639
better person in that way because you're
always like checking in on people, even

579
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:30.000
if it's like just to see how
their day's going or something, but specifically

580
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:34.639
when you know someone's going through a
rough time. Fallen is just the rock

581
00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:38.599
that has been there for me through
so many things. And and of course,

582
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:44.039
like literally I know you have those
friends that you know you're gonna have

583
00:37:44.159 --> 00:37:46.119
so much fun with when you see
them, and that's what Fallen is,

584
00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:49.559
so if we do hang out outside
of work, I know we're gonna have

585
00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:52.639
fun and we're they laugh and I
have a good time, you know,

586
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.719
And like you can have friends that
you're like friends with and you have a

587
00:37:55.719 --> 00:37:59.440
good time with them, but like
there's certain friends you know, like you're

588
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:01.400
so excited to see them and laugh
and stuff. Oh yeah, And I

589
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:05.920
just feel like that's what it is
with Fallon. Thanks Jenny, Yeah,

590
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:10.880
that so nice. How is sex
initiated in both of your relationships? Your

591
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:15.760
episode last week had me thinking,
Lol, it's I'm I usually initiate,

592
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:21.400
but I think we're we're very different
in that aspect though, too like to

593
00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:27.159
tell how you initiate, I'll be
like, I'll literally it could be anywhere.

594
00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:29.440
It could be like Jake's a f
a computer at work. It could

595
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:30.280
be him and Ben. I'm like, you want to have sex and like

596
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:34.920
and he literally it'll be it's like
out of a comedy. He drops,

597
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:37.679
drops what he's doing, and like
he's like, let's do this. I

598
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:43.519
like take his pants off basically.
But Jake says it's because and it's not

599
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:45.559
that he doesn't initiate it, it's
just that I think I have a control

600
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:50.159
problem. Yeah, so if he
initiated it, I don't necessarily want it

601
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:52.480
as much. But I say it's
because I don't think he's very sexy with

602
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:58.800
his initiation, him rolling over and
sliding his body against mine. It's doesn't

603
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:00.960
I'm like, you gotta put more
effort, not like I'm putting in so

604
00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:07.480
much effort. But I would say
me, yeah, yeah, No,

605
00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:12.840
it's definitely Andrew who initiates things aren't
with us. It's never it's not always

606
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:17.280
am but i'd say like eighty five
percent of the time, and it's different

607
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:22.000
for us often it's definitely not as
forward as what funds us, which I

608
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:25.440
like it, don't worry. I
think when I do initiate it, I

609
00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:28.679
am like that, like, hey, do you want have sex? Right?

610
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:32.840
I am like that, But with
him, it's more like I'm trying

611
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:36.239
to think, like, of course, we just want on vacation. So

612
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:38.239
you're in a good mood, You're
probably having a little more sex if you

613
00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:42.920
have the opportunity to. And I
feel like it was just a matter of

614
00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:45.880
like, you know, he's like, come here, and like I just

615
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:47.559
got out of the shower and like
we just got done with a hike and

616
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:51.840
he's like come here, and then
you know, things go from there.

617
00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:55.239
So that's kind of it for us. We have a lot of these.

618
00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:59.079
I think we should do more next
week too. Yeah, let's okay,

619
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:02.000
but I love that. Well.
We've hit like a longer mark than we

620
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:06.639
normally do, so thanks for hanging
out with us. We're back next week

621
00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:08.440
on time, I think, yes, So thanks for listening.
