Welcome to the I'm Still Fun podcast, which, by the way, we
got I'm not calling you out, Megan, I love you, but we
got an email from Megan. She clearly listens and she it says I'm still
fine now. I don't know if it's an auto correct or if you think
that's the name of the podcast, but it made me laugh and I loved
it. But I was going to start off with this quick email from her.
She says the scream I scrumped when on the last episode someone mentioned Zodiac
Academy. It is one of my all time favorite series. It will also
be a complete series come April. I haven't read Akatar yet. It's on
my list, but is a daunting series, but wanted to give my two
cents on Zodiac Academy. It's so so good and will make you feel every
emotion anyway, Love you both. I'm originally from Minnesota, I currently live
in atl What up Atlanta? Nice and I'm a longtime listener of katiew b
Fallon you are missed on the morning show of Jenny. You are doing a
fantastic job. Love that we still get to listen to y'all together. Keep
up the great work. Xx. Megan, So thank you, Megan.
I wanted to give a little shout out to her for listening to the podcast
even though you live in Atlanta. Now that's so cool when we hear that,
you know, I feel like I keep adding more and more series in
books to my list ever since bringing up like you brought up a Gatar and
now I'm like starting to finally read them whatever. And then everyone's like,
you got to read this next, and this, and I'm like, oh
my god, I can't keep track of everything, but okay, yeah,
it's a lot. It's a lot. I had a work call today with
a charity group called the Bond Between And as soon as I was like a
zoom or teams is what we use here at iHeart And as soon as I
got on the team's call, she was like, how's Olive or whatever.
I said, oh, you know, good to a little bit about all
of it. And then she's like, okay, now for the real conversation.
She was like, let's talk A guitar is like, oh, I
didn't know that this meeting today was gonna go. So then there's a guy.
His name is Patrick, and he's kind of like the mediator of our
meeting, and he just sat there and listened to me and the two girls
talk about Okay, so speaking of I was going to tell you this little
tidbit I thought you would. I saved it even though it happened last week
because it made me laugh, and I was like, Jenny's gonna like this.
So Jake and I pulled up have you seen the Netflix documentary called lover
Stalker Killer? No, but Dave just brought it up on the show.
Really so he didn't really give many details, but it sounded like something I
probably wouldn't watch. No, it's not about watching it, Okay. So
we were watching it, but I was not paying attention. I was like,
I don't know if I was listening to my book, if I was
on TikTok, what I was doing. But out of nowhere, Jake was
Jake cos I'm pretty sure this documentary is based on you. And I go
what And I look up and he goes. He pauses, it rewinds it
and it showed a text that the stalker woman sent to her like husband or
boyfriend or whatever he was, and it said she had sent him a message
and said, it's not funny because it's based on a true story. Every
whore you talk to, I take pictures of their license plate. I don't
care if they're customers. Oh my gosh. He sounds like a text you
send me, you, Jake, And I send it to his sister and
she she confirmed and she goes, but I mean, you guys are married,
so that is what she's supposed to do. And I was like,
Okay, thank you Hannah for supporting me. I always know she will but
maybe laugh. I was like, I'm gonna share that with Jenny because that's
funny. That was the ongoing thing that Jenny's not like as jealous of a
human as I am, but I am. I would really lean into the
character of being a little psychotic. It's like one of my favorite parts of
you though. Thank you. I mean, like, I definitely get jealous.
I'm not like, well, yeah, I'm crazy person who doesn't like
I totally get jealous of things, but like fallin just like does it in
a murderous way. Yeah, it's true. So it's just like a different
level, but it's a very joking, obviously level. Jake always says times
I don't know. He always is like, I hope someone overhears you like
one day whatever, we're talking into a store parking lot. I'm threatening him
or he's like, if anyone ever find if I ever died, anyone finds
my phone, they're not gonna think you're my wife. They're gonna think you're
a person that killed me. And I was like, okay, call them
down too far, too far. I told Jenny that he was out of
town this weekend, so it was like A, it was a it was
exhausting. Yeah, he had all of yeah day and I didn't even have
her, like the whole time of myself. Mean Friday, my mom had
her half the day. Friday my mom had her, or Saturday had her
half the day because I did an art class. And I was like,
what am I complaining about here? I mean a lot it's like to have
a child. I just know what it's like to watch my helly and nephew
sometimes my beautiful, lovely niece. The two different personalities, that's how it
goes. My sister will concur about everything I just said about both of them.
I love them dearly, but I mean, yeah, they're tired.
Like I love the fact that I get to give them back. Yeah I
give here, you go your children, not mine. It's true. I
know I can tell what when my mom is done with it, and I'm
like, I like, sometimes I'll go on vacation and I can watch through
the monitor and you can tell, well, my mom is putting all of
to bed after a long like she is done. Now She's like, thank
god, bedtime. Yeah. Well my mommost sometimes be like no, I
am done, actually saying all right, Debbie down a little bit, like
it's a little bit much. Yeah, So did you have a good weekend?
Yeah, I mean it's been pretty low key, I feel like besides,
I mean, we had a bachelorette party like two weekends ago, so
I feel like this past weekend it was just like a chill. Yeah.
I didn't make any plans, so I didn't do a whole ton. Really,
I'm contemplating if I'm just going to become like completely sober. And I
know you might think that that's a joke because we talk about me partying a
lot or like my used to party days whatever, But I don't know what
alcohol does to me anymore, like if it's worth it anymore. Okay,
because I drank probably like they were kind of strong, but I drank some
margaritas on Saturday at this get together at a friend's house, and like,
by no means did I get drunk or anything, but definitely tipsy. But
got home later that night Andrew and I made food. We took these dogs
for a walk. So that shows you how like coherent I was. Still
I wasn't like stumbling or anything, but then you know, I have some
food, I sat. I think I read like a tiny bit of my
book, but I was definitely too tired at that point, and I go
to bed and then literally for eight hours, I laid in bed and woke
up. Every twenty to thirty minutes. I would wake up and my heart
would be racing. And so it's like I've always had I've had a hangover
anxiety, probably since I was like twenty four. Yeah, and I just
pushed through it, forget about it. Whatever I deal with it for a
few hours goes away. But now it just really affects my sleep so aggressively
that it throws me off for like two days. I'm so tired. So
Sunday I had all these plans of getting shit done, and what did I
do. I got up and did a couple things, and then I was
laying on the couch and fell asleep and then literally went upstairs and just take
a nap again because I was I just was tired, because that's sleep.
Even though I was quote unquote sleeping for almost eight hours, it wasn't sleep
now. It was such like I would wake up, I would roll to
the other side, fall back sleeve for twenty minutes, wake up, roll
to the other side, like I was switch sides. I was constantly moving
around. And then God Andrew sleeps like a rock because he wouldn't have been
awake so much. But it's just so weird. And my heart's like racing
when I wake up, So there is definitely some anxiety there, but like
I don't feel necessarily anxious, but my heart's racing. And the same thing
happened in Savannah, like the one night that we went out and partied and
stuff. I was good, like I drank enough to probably knock me out
for a little bit, and but also once again didn't get very drunk,
like I know my limits now and I know when it's time to call it
yeah home, yeah. And so I think I woke up that morning at
like four am, and from four to seven am, I was fighting that
sleep again of my heart racing, and I mean my resting is at fifty
five and my heart was at one hundred, just laying the ease, and
that is just like not how it should be. So I know it ties
in with just the general innxiety that I have right outside of putting alcohol getting
that involved, but it's so not fun the way it affects my sleep,
and I feel like the lack of sleep makes me crazy. Yeah, it
really makes me kind of crazy. And I mean, obviously there's plenty of
science out there to prove that, yes, if you're not sleeping, it
can like drive you a little insane. So I just don't know that it's
worth it. But at the same time, like I've had plenty of times
where I have had a couple of drinks and it's just like nothing. Yeah,
but I don't know it. That's so crazy to me that it would
like shift in you like that, even though you said you've had hangover anxiety
for but that's always like the day on earth. It's like I wake up,
I feel kind of gross, like whatever, and then I feel a
little bit anxious throughout the day and it kind of goes away. But this
was like it's literally like I can't even like sleep through the night at all.
I'm like wondering, is that like a question for your doctor or a
question for your therapist? Right? You know what I mean? I do
have therapy this week. I haven't seen her baby about that. I think
I've got a girl I got to talk to her about This is really personal
and you don't have to talk about it. Have you decided one way or
another if you will start medication for anxiety through therapy? As of the last
appointment, I had said that I was good for the moment, but I
don't know. It's been a rough like handful of months. I would not
handful, like a few months, I would say of just like a rollercoaster
of emotions. And I like felt like I was like doing good and like
I know that there's nothing like bad about taking medication, but I've just like
in my head it's always been like, oh, I've gotten through really bad
anxiety before without medication, Like why do I need to do it now?
Because I have? I have gone through like almost debilitating anxiety where I didn't
leave my college house for like classes I had to be attending, and I
like got through that anxiety, and so there's like a part of me that's
like, well, you've gotten through this before, you can get through it
without medication now. But I haven't loved the last few months of just like
this roller coaster of stuff. So I think I'm going to talk to my
therapist again because the last appointment we did talk about if I needed to if
I thought I wanted to get on medication, which I then have to see
a psychiatrist at that point, I can't go through my therapist. So she,
you know, she's like, we got to talk about this because I
need to recommend you to someone else then to get you going on that if
that's what you feel like you want. So I think I'll probably just like
discuss all the things I've that have happened in the last month that I want
to talk to her about at this coming appointment, and then maybe revisit We'll
definitely revisit the medication thing. And I know, like I've heard like really
positive things from people before who have reached out and said that medication has really
helped them. But also like my therapist has told me that it really like
definitely helps you in those moments of anxiety. But it also levels out your
emotions in general, so you're like really high highs aren't felt the same way,
you know, And I don't know that there's any thing's super wrong with
that for me, but like, for a second hearing that, I was
like, well, I don't want to like, yeah, be leveled out.
I want to feel emotions and stuff, but I think don't want to
feel that anxiety. I think that's the truest dilemma with many of the medications.
Like a lot of people they feel like they're not depending if the things
I've heard, you know, if it's like the negative side of things,
they don't maybe feel like themselves as much, yeah or yeah, the same
thing, Like they don't feel the like excite. I don't know if the
excitement's the word, but think like in those kind of moments as much.
I feel like even this is like a terrible like reference. But I feel
like that's like what because you think of celebrities like I feel like Kanye West
has talked about that, like how it really stifled his creativity kind of for
writing when he was on medication. That's why he would go off of it.
He'd like think he was fine go off of it and then he was
like, I don't think he was fine. I think, yeah, it
just made him feel like he was because he felt so like level. But
I mean maybe that you know, I don't know anything about it, and
they'd have to find the right one for you and right, no, I
exactly, And I know it's also a process of like you don't just start
taking it one day and the next day you will yeah, right, youah
have to like sit there and like hopefully it works the way you want it
to in like a few weeks. Six weeks I think is usually like generally
a time where you should definitely tell it be able to see a difference.
But yeah, I don't know. I mean, once again, I'm not
opposed to it. I just I guess I had thought that, like I
haven't used it before, but like these last handful of months just haven't been
I don't know, it hasn't been hard. I don't want to sit,
well, it has been hard in moments. I don't want to sit and
say that like life has been super super tough, but the moments that have
been tough have been like really tough. Yeah, and now I'm gonna cry,
Jenny, would you say it's all because you're not with me every single
morning. Yes, I literally texted you. No, I'm just kidding,
I mean truthfully, as I have tears in my eyes, but I like
mean this authentically, like the lack of having your friendship like every morning is
hard. Like there's just like a lot of things I think that have happened
in the last year in my life that have like not triggered anxiety, but
like when something does happen that's anxious for me, I don't have like the
comfort that I used to in certain ways, and like you're one of them.
And like I literally, I mean this was a complete joke, but
texted her Friday morning. I was like pitting out so bad Friday during the
show, and I was in the bathroom and I was like, holy shit,
there was like a gallon of sweat in my armpit. And I sent
her a picture and I was like, do you miss seeing me put paper
towels in my pits? Every morning? I would look up, especially when
Dave was gone and she was running the board. That's when she pit the
most. Oh my god, because she'd be like extra stress for doing more
work, and I look over and she'd just have paper towels hanging out of
her teacher I would I wouldn't, So yeah, there's just there's many moments
where like, I mean, whatever I missed on the show, and there's
nothing wrong with like Dave and Drake, like we still run the show and
it's great and everything, but it's like, you know, I don't get
to have the comfort that I have from Falin and I his friendship, and
like, you know, you guys don't always get to see what happens behind
the scenes with us, but Valain's just always been there for me and she
still is. It's just that like I don't get to see your embrace,
you're not like physically there, and it's the same with me. And then
I think also we both don't want to vent to each other because we feel
bad piling on. But we used to be able to vent to each other
like just every morning if we needed to, And which is so ridiculous because
I never care if Jenny vence to me, and I know she doesn't care
if I vent to her about things, So it's just silly, like we
shouldn't hold it in because I think I think in our like our jobs,
like we both like love, like what we do so much. But of
course, like anything, there are going to be things you vent about,
and it's like with your closest coworker, it's there's only one person who truly
understands it, you know. So that's why it's like easier for us to
vent to each other, just because like we understand the industry and like how
it affects people, like you know, if something upsets me with like our
sales department, I can text Jenny. I literally texted her on like Friday
because someone like sent me an email and it annoyed me, and I was
like, did they do this to the morning show by chance? And Jenny's
like nope, and I was like, god, it just like fired me
up to me then, So you know those like insider things that like you
can invent to each other about, Well, good luck with therapy this week.
Thanks. I mean for a while, because I was seeing her pretty
consistently for a while, I was like, oh God, another appointment,
And now I'm like, oh, yes, an aportment, I need it
this week. It is like it is definitely a good feeling when you need
it, and they can like kind of calm you or reassure you. But
I had those two where it was like too often, I'm like, I
don't even have anything to talk about this week. I don't know, and
that I felt like I was just making up stuff to like talk about almost
so I wanted to talk about my hemorrhoid. You have another one, yeah,
but it's like okay, so this is to go back. I had
hemorrhoids removed like three different times. Everyone always asks about it. It was
thrombos, it was external. It was really painful. I had one one
I was pregnant, and then I've had it like twice after like so one
immediately because when you push, a lot of women get hemorrhoids from like the
pushing process. So mine were so painful. Everyone's like, how do you
know. I'm like, dude, you that's all you can think about because
it just it's painful. And if it's like that, then my primary care
physician recommended a colon and rectal clinic. So that's how it all went down.
And I always like give the thing, like, if they'll give you
a couple of painkillers, do it, because the first couple of days are
brutal. Not gonna lie. The first person gave me a painkiller the second
time he didn't, and I was like, what the f. So the
third time I got so nervous going in that they weren't going to give me
a painkiller, and they didn't that I took extra strength tile and all in
the parking lot before going in because they like, dumb it. Then remove
it and then it's just like, but that area heals very quickly, so
it heals, but every now and then I will be able to tell I'm
like getting one, and I get so fucking stressed out, like it's all
I think about. Yesterday was uncomfortable, and I get the thing where you
take a picture of your asshole. I thought you were going to say,
you know, you put the you put the mirror in a certain angle on
your bed somewhere in the eye clouds someone just vomited, but I was like,
I need to like see what it looks like because and it was like,
and I know. The solution is if it's like you're starting to feel
it come on, it's like all about like your nutrition basically and your stress
levels, which I've been stressed lately, so I'm like, I'm sure that's
part of it. My eating has been clean, but I have not been
drinking enough water. So my first step was like chug, chug, chug,
chug water. Also, like sitting on hard surfaces is not good for
it. It's like if you sit a lot. That's why they tell you
not to sit on the toilet for a long periods of time. So like
yesterday, I was like if I had to sit on my butt, like
for food, I sat on a pillow and I'm like on the couch,
I was like laying on my stomach. And I slept on my stomach last
night to give her some time. And today it feels a lot better.
But it was like I'm like chugging, chugging, chugging water. And I
think I'm just sharing this in case like anyone ever, because people will say,
what do you do? And I see all of these maybe the answer,
I don't know if it's holistic. Some are holistic and some are like
ridiculous not holistic, crazy suggestions because I have a video about hemrhoids on TikTok
and people recommend all these things and I'm like, I don't say anything in
the comments, but I'm like no, Like I had a friend message to
me and they're like, I saw if you put sugar on it, and
like, I'm like, no, you can put sugar all over that thing,
but once it's hit there, if it works for you, great.
I got to the point where I would try anything. I get it,
but no, and then someone's like yeah in the comments, yeah the sugar
doesn't work. I'm like, yeah, no, kidding, Like I'm not
surprised the sugar doesn't work. So I just always like people ask me still
all the time about them, But it feels better. Today. I went
for a walk, okay, in a calm or down because I have genuine
questions. Yes, yes, my child, So you have another external one,
yes, okay, and but I think it's going away. Okay,
That's what I was going to ask. I was like, do you think
it's just going to go away on its own? Because I had one once
upon time in college and I'm a poor college student who doesn't have health insurance.
I'm literally pooping blood and I'm like, yeah, whatever, no body
don't care about it. Whatever, And after like a couple of weeks,
I was like, this is probably not If you're putting blood, you should
go to the doctor. Right. So literally, I'll never forget me and
my girlfriends we were drinking one night and I like went and had to go
to the bathroom and I was like, ah, as you guys, I
like, so I think I have a hemorrhyer. Yeah, and we're drunk,
so I was like, hemy, like we're nacking. Yeah, And
I'll never forget one of my roommate's boyfriends thought we were the most disgusting people
ever that. I'm just like, yeah, my heavy, I'm just like
cleaning out of my butt. And then I went to the doctor finally a
couple of days after that. They had me bent over you well, not
bent over there, just put me on the side. Yeah. I was
just on my side and she was like, yeah, I mean it's already
healing. Like it had gotten to the point where I don't know if popped
is the right term, but they don't pop, Okay, it'll just like
kind of go back. It's almost like it's inflamed basically. Yeah. And
ninety percent of the time, even after having a baby, they most of
the time, if you're like drinking that water you're eating, well, you
know it will heal itself, that's what. But I'm like, you will
know if it is not like it is, like I had Jenny cover an
event for me last minute because I could not even stand up. I was
so uncomfortable when I got them removed, and and I'm Jake, look at
it, and I'm the first that I had the first that the dot.
I spread my cheeks and the doctor was like, oh my gosh, those
are large. I was like, okay, well you didn't have to go
there, lady, all right, But I mean I surprised everyone with them.
And then but I yeah, it's typically they go back. Yeah,
and if if they're so uncomfortable and painful, you should go to someone.
And people get so embarrassed, but men and women get them, and it's
common also when you're older. So I drink your water, drink your water
that and then also do you use the squatty potty? I have a squatty
potty. I have a bidet. I feel like that stuff is helpful too,
because like then you if you're having like constipation issues, it helps you
a little bit. With like the elevation. We just have a natural squatty
potty built in because our bathroom is so small that the tub is right in
front of the That's how I'm growing up house. I just put my feet
up on there, and like Andrew and I are just we're kind of gross.
We don't always show the door unless there's like really bad situations happen,
and you'll like come home and I'm just feed up, and he knows what's
happening because he'll see me and I'll be like, hey, yeah. I
was like, you should go in a different room, don't be like standing,
because he'll come home and he'll just like want to talk about his day
and he'll be in the hallway to the bathroom as I'm literally legs are up
like I'm trying to go to the bathroom, and I was like, maybe
just give me like five yeah, you know, like just give me a
little bit. But yeah. There was a squatty patty and our Christmas exchange
this past year, and I think my younger sister Katie put it in and
she was like, Jenny, because you never know what the exchange present is,
that's the way our families is, obviously, and she's like, Jenny,
I really think you'll like mine, blah blahlah blah, and I didn't
take hers, and someone else did and said it was a squatty patty.
I was like, I had have got one of those. It's built in
with my toe. That's a genius. That's a genius, like little Christmas
pass and for sure, but I do think we need one in our basement
because there have been times where are and I are both needing to go number
two and one of us has the basement and we're like, oh, no,
where to put our feet up. If you don't know what a squatty
potty is, by chance, it is just like basically a little stool you
put in front of the toilet, because they say that that's how your body
is more naturally meant to be when you're going to the bathroom, so it
makes your bowel movements more natural, easy, less strained. And I don't
have one in our powder room, and so I use all of this little
toilet in front of it. She doesn't need a little She just needed a
little toilet in like a year because she can sell on the big girl toilet
now. But she uses her little potty too for and I a should just
get a stool. She'll put it in front of the toilet so she can
step up and get on the toilet, and then she pulls it over and
puts it in front of the sink so she can wash her hands, and
I'm like, I should just get you an act. She has a stool
downstairs for her bathroom, like brushing her teeth, but not upstairs. So
no, whatever it was, Yeah, it works for what she needs exactly.
Care I was also going to tell you that I did. I've done
two plates classes now and I have another one set for Wednesday Friday. I
did like a the A there's a new place in Mound, so it's like
right by me. I wouldn't have known, but my neighbor Jen and my
neighbor, I mean, she lives like an differ neighborhood, but she's very
close to me. She is like one of those friends you want to have
because they know everything that's going on. I never look at like Facebook groups
and stuff for like news in the city. She'll like, did you hear
did you see I'm like, no, no, tell me everything. So
anyway, she's like, there's a new pilates I'm going to go if you
want to go, And she's selling her peloton because it hurts her knees.
And she has this thing she said recently where when she does she's really competitive
and when she does intense workouts like peloton or like hit classes. She says
it messes her up for like two hours after the class, where like she
doesn't feel right, she feels dizzy. It's not a good feeling. So
she's like, I don't want to do those. I just saw her actually
post on Instagram today she's selling her bike, and so she's like, I'm
gonna do pilates because it doesn't hurt her knees and you don't really even I
don't sweat a ton in there, just like a little bit. Yeah,
but it's a reformer kind And I told the lady. I was like,
I feel like pilates is having a big moment. She's like, oh,
so I don't know that. She felt that. She agreed with me on
that. She's like, it's already always having a moment, bitch, that's
why I open the studio. No very nice woman. But I just loved
how it's slow. And I was telling Jenny, I feel like it works
little muscles you never hit and you don't know about. And it makes me
understand why a lot of the people that you see who do pilates a lot
have those longer, leaner bodies. So I am praying that it will give
me a long, lean body. I have to break it to you lean
potentially, but long. I think that I will say webbing. She was
telling me. She was like shocked. She's like it was a different instructor.
She was like very kind. She's like, hell and I can't believe
this is your second class, Like you have such great form and like you're
so blah blah blah. And I was like, oh my god, like
keep telling me how this compliments girl. And then we got to where we're
on our laid on your back and you put your legs straight up in the
air and she goes balla, do you have really tight hamstrings? And I
was like I do, and she like I can tell like and I was
like, I also have a bad hip. She's like, okay, we'll
do some hip flexer stretches. At the end. It's like all right,
lit and uh, but I did like a month unlimited nice. So I'm
getting excited and I asked her, I said, how many times a week
would you recommend? She's like three times. This like that's probably good.
I feel like that's a pheramountony too. Yeah, And it goes very quickly.
I don't even look at the clock. I don't know where clock is.
But like in those good high intents, don't for it, don't find
either or else you'll always know where it is. It's true because when I
do would do like for instance, when Steve would convince me to do Warrior
sculpt at Lifetime, I would look up and be like, why why is
there still thirty minutes? I won't make it. I won't make it.
I hated it. I hated it. I love Lifetime, but I fucking
hate Warrior Sculp. You don't like you're supposed to leave an exercise filling like
high yeah, on indoor fins, like, oh, I'm so glad I
did it. I never felt like that leaving work. I felt like my
I always said this, my soul was removed from my body. I hated
it. I mean, sculp classes are really hard. I do still do
one on Friday mornings every once in a while when I can make it to
it. Yeah, but I just went to the spin class instead because I
couldn't make it to the SCULP class on this past Friday. And like,
I'm very comfortable in working out situations, but I know some people aren't.
And the instructor straight up came to the back row where I was in my
loansome like nobody. Yeah, she goes, I've never seen you before,
who are you new? And I'm like yeah, She's like, well,
what's your name? And then I like tell her whatever. And then I'm
getting call outs in the middle of the class, and you can tell that
everyone in that class goes all the time because I had to. I couldn't
tell what I was supposed to be doing at the time. I was like,
what did she say? I couldn't understand what she was saying, and
so I was watching everyone else and I was like, I think I'm supposed
to be doing I'm going to push up motion right now. I'm not entirely
sure. Yeah, but I mean in the end it was great whatever,
but I like, I should be comfortable with this. I go to plenty
of workout classes, but that moment when you're first called out, yeah,
in a class you've never been to, it's kind of like, I don't
know if I needed the call out, but okay, yeah, I haven't
been to a lifetime spin class in a very long time. Some of the
places I've been to for spin I didn't like it as much as Peloton,
because I didn't like the instructor's music choice, okay, and I was like,
I'm stuck in this and this is not inspiring me. So I like,
that's one thing I do like about Peloton is I can pick the exact
I can see the playlist basically. But also I did do so Target had
one like crossover with soul Cycle and they had to pop up here and I
got to go to it. And because soul Cycle is like probably the best
known spin kind of thing, and it was an experience to say the least.
And it was like that where they call you out. There were like
candles, there are all these things, and I was like this, I
understand the hype behind it, but I it felt a little culty. Yeah,
like cause you know, like how they make jokes that like people who
do cross That is a little culty. It had that vibe to it for
sure. I was like, oh, I would eat. I am a
kool Aid drinker man, Like, I don't need to be around this,
So I gotta get out. I gotta get out. Whet good. So
I have one story I have to confess. So, oh God, did
you shit in on a bike? No? It's nothing about that. It's
like quite opposite of what we've been talking about for the last ten minutes because
it's fitness. It's more on the side of like am I a healthy person
or am I not? Because when it comes on to it, after I
tell you a story, you probably not gonna think I am. Okay.
So Andrew and I had bought these fruit snacks from Costco and they're like zero
grams of fat, like kind of okay, low when calories whatever, But
it works with my diet and how I track my macros. So it was
a nice little snack to have every once in a while. So we bought
a box a handful of months ago, went through it whatever. The last
time we bought it, Andrew was like a fucking addict. He could not
control himself. All of a sudden, I look over and there's like ten
fruit snack wrappers etched to him. God, I'm like, babe, what
is They're not even that good? Yeah, like the kind of stick to
your teeth. And I only get them because it like is zero grams of
fat and whatever. I was like, they're not even that great. And
so he goes and hammers through this box within like a week, and it's
a box of ninety I had a pile. Okay, a week might be
in a like an exaggeration. It was probably like two weeks, but still
two weeks. And I even hid the last few because I was like,
I would like to enjoy some of these. I was barely getting one a
day at the rate he was going. So the next time I go to
Costco, I'm trying to find some food that works with like counting my macros,
and I find like the jumbo Costco size of rice crispy treats, and
those also are pretty low and fat and work with my macros. So I
was like, hey, when you eat them? And what's the word when
you don't eat a lot at a time? Oh, when you like,
I don't know, like the portion it yeah, or like moderation. Okay,
when you eat a moderation certain things like they're fine for you, you
know. So I buy this box and I hide it in my car learn
them as the next day because the first time I go into it, it's
frozen. Because I bought it like a month and a half ago, when
I was like five degrees. I was like, fuck, I have to
put them in the house. But I have to hide them from Andrew.
He cannot know about these or else I will never see them again. So
I have them hidden and and You're like, noticed a rapper recently and he's
like, what's that? What I would do is it be my little treat
at night as I'm going to bed. You and I would have one year,
I would have like one to two. Sometimes if I like had the
calorie count in the account, I could add in like three if I wanted.
But I like finally confess to him one night and I go, Babe,
I have been going, hey, I'm on these, but I am
like, yeah, moderation. And I open up the drawer to my nightstand
and I reveal just like a pile, like an extreme pile of Rice Crispy
Street rappers, and he's like what he starts freaking. I was like,
are you kidding me? Where are they? Where are they? And I
was like, no, you don't get to know where they are. Yeah.
So then for the last week or so, he'll do something and he's
earned a Rice Chrispy tree, you know, and I have to like He'll
be in our sunroom, which is on the main floor, and I have
them hidden somewhere on the main floor, so I run. I literally rustle
around in multiple rooms to throw them. Oh my idea where the box did
in. But it's the only way I can get stuff like that, Like
yep. Andrew is always like, well, we just got to eat it
all now, so the snacks are out of the house, like that's his
look of life. He'll buy a bag of chips. He's like, well,
I just got to eat it all in one sitting because then it's out
of the house. And I was like, well, maybe it's so much
like Jake. It's disturbing. They are so Jake came home, I'm a
girl like buying girls, got cookies and handed me the box. He had
just been in the grocery. So between grocery where she was selling to the
house, there were two cookies left, and he goes, I saved you
something. You saved me some. He's like, I need them out of
my life. He's like, she's going to be the next president. The
way she hustled me. I'm like, she probably looked at you and you
handed or your walling like shut up. And I was like, you're pathetic.
They're the same. They are No Andrew's exactly like that with Girl's coaches
moments too. I can't act like I'm like holier than that. I'm a
piece of shit half the time. Well, I was gonna say, like,
I can't control myself either. That's why I don't keep a lot of
stuff in the house because I have a struggle with that. But like,
this was one thing where I did go a little crazy one day and I
ate four and I I had the worst stomach cache ever. And it's like,
all right, we know the three is my limit, you whatever,
But I usually, like I said, I just like, usually it's my
treat at the end of the day, and I have like one and then
I put the wrapper in the drawer so that Andrew never sees the remnants.
And so yeah, that was like my dirty little secret. I was hiding
from him pile and now he knows all about it, but I don't care
because he ate all the fucking fruit snacks. And I was like, this
is what you get. You're not a lot of housing candy too in the
garage. But then the mouth mice found it, I did, and yeah,
you hide stuff everywhere. I hid that way from him, and then
I think when we either last year or the year before, we had like
two trigger treaters and we had a Costco size of Halloween candy, and I
was like, let's put this away and like, I know whatever. People
might disagree with us, but I said, we'll bring it to the movies
when we want, like snacks and whatever. So I was like, let's
go hide this away. But I did tell Andrew to hide it because I
didn't really want to know where it was. Well, of course, he
admitted to me after a month that he'd ate all of it, and he
like he just was getting into it every night, and I'm like, all
right, so we're just allowed to have snacks in the house because neither of
us can control ourselves. By the way, I think they texted into like
the main show text number, but someone who listens to the podcast, so
that they because of you. I think it was that it could have been
an email discovered Goodles. Yes, and they like their kids and family are
obsessed with them, so they were like, You've changed their life. And
I feel like it was a text like in the afternoon show. Yeah,
and they were like, oh my god. And it might have been like
a topic we were talking about, and or maybe it was something else.
Maybe it was like a text to your all show that I just saw when
I got in. But either way, you changed someone life with your Google.
They're so good thing, and I haven't tried them yet. I still
need to try them. They're so good. But of course, of course
I find them at Costco and now in the last month they're not there anymore.
So I got them I started. I probably found them back in the
summertime. I bet you gobout them on Amazon, but you think, I'm
sure you can. But it's like I always try to get you know that
cheap like bulk Life, which is Costco. But yeah, you can definitely
buy them elsewhere. I think you can just buy them in single packs at
Target or something like that. And there's different varieties too. I've only done
the regular mac and cheese kind of one. But yes, I was so
bummed because I feel like I'll always find something I love so much at Costco
and then it's gone after like six months when I love it too much,
like I'll never see it for another like six months to a year. Our
top thing we get like endlessly. Well, other than like because Jake and
Dylan eats so many eggs, they get their eggs there now. But the
bare lightly breaded chicken breast or chicken pieces are my, like our whole family
all of us love them, like, yeah, you can like make kind
of like Chick fil A like sandwiches with them, and they're like great protein
and not a ton of calories and they're so delicious. We pop them in
the air fire and that's like our top always get at Costco for sure.
So yup. Anyway, well that's our time. We've been going longer lately,
and even today Jenny and I are like, I don't know if we
have a lot to talk about. We're starting, I don't know, get
Jenny going on Orden or snacks and there you go, or me talking about
fairy porn. All right, Well, thank you so much for listening.
Have a great week.
