Speaker 1: I'm ready. I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready. Isn't that
Speaker 1: SpongeBob AJR? Well it's SpongeBob, but Ajar sampled it in
Speaker 1: the song they had. Did you know that? No? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm ready. How's it go? N this? Quick? Quick? Quick?
Speaker 1: I'm ready, Amory. Why oh, by the way, someone told
Speaker 1: me last week, you're always dramatically quieter than me because voice.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I I think, well, I have our
Speaker 1: microphones at the same level, but I'm going to turn
Speaker 1: yours up a little bit. I think I'm just read
Speaker 1: what do I What do I got about the thame?
Speaker 1: It never looks different different, so because you usually you
Speaker 1: can look at the audio wave like and you'll be like, oh,
Speaker 1: that looks quieter, but ours look pretty consistently the same.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to just turn you up just in case.
Speaker 1: If you could maybe do what you're not paid to
Speaker 1: do for this podcast, which is Projectbeak project give the
Speaker 1: people what they want and need to do that. This
Speaker 1: is the podcast. This is the situation. You know, when
Speaker 1: you get home after a long day of work, take
Speaker 1: your broth, you kick your feet back, scrollly scroll on
Speaker 1: your phone for hours. He's scrolly scrolling right now, having
Speaker 1: a good time chatting with my friend. Okay, I see that,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm Southern Nile. I did notice that, and it
Speaker 1: was one of your best accents you've ever done. Honestly,
Speaker 1: it's the only accent I can do. So that is
Speaker 1: why excel in it, you really do. You really are
Speaker 1: exceptional at your southern accent. Congratulations Dylan my steps and
Speaker 1: has all of saying, hey, big debt. So she called Jake.
Speaker 1: She's like, hey, big debt, and we'll all laugh hysterically
Speaker 1: like all the dime. It's so weird. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: a really random question, but I have to ask it
Speaker 1: because we talked about something on the show today. Have
Speaker 1: you ever cut Olive's hair personally? No? Just has she
Speaker 1: ever had a haircut? Sorry? Oh I didn't think she
Speaker 1: had Yeah, because there was some question about when girls
Speaker 1: should get their haircut and stuff, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't think Olives ever had her haircut, but I
Speaker 1: don't know. She's had two haircuts. She had like it
Speaker 1: was so long, and so we had Hannah, Jake's sister,
Speaker 1: do like a small like cut with a few inches,
Speaker 1: but she was terrifying that kind of cut. Her ringlets off,
Speaker 1: which was a sad moment for me, but then actually
Speaker 1: recently it's a nightmare. She has super thick hair and
Speaker 1: since it's kind of like wavy curly, gets even more gnarly.
Speaker 1: And so I actually got like six more inches cut
Speaker 1: off recently and it still looks super long. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it is, it is. But yeah, I was like, the
Speaker 1: good first hair and move on, move on, first haircut.
Speaker 1: It's fine. So how you guys went to a fair
Speaker 1: this weekend and you didn't invite me? So, Ginny, you're
Speaker 1: always too busy, You're not. That was very nice. I
Speaker 1: would have liked to go on the little elephant ride
Speaker 1: with all of I guess I that's my apologies. Then, Jenny,
Speaker 1: when I, uh, when I do ask you to do
Speaker 1: something last minute, you actually say yes. I'm highly surprised.
Speaker 1: You're a very busy person. I am sort of yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm also just like a little bit lamer. Now,
Speaker 1: yeah I'm not. I'm still fun exactly good tie in.
Speaker 1: But we did what this is like our third year
Speaker 1: going to car County Fair and it's honestly perfection. It's
Speaker 1: like the perfect fair because the Minnesota State Fair is
Speaker 1: so massive, this one easy to walk to everything you get,
Speaker 1: all the things you get, the baby animals you get,
Speaker 1: the carnies you get, the like all the great food.
Speaker 1: It's just easy, breezy, and we discovered we went Sunday morning,
Speaker 1: which was the last day of the fair. It was
Speaker 1: like the weather this weekend was so weird, so it
Speaker 1: was actually kind of cool. I was like, dude, if
Speaker 1: the weather is like this for the Minnesota State Fair,
Speaker 1: I won't be miserable. I don't think. I feel like
Speaker 1: it was kind of chill. Last year it had moments.
Speaker 1: It was our new booth is pretty good at coverage,
Speaker 1: which is nice. Yep, because we don't like with the
Speaker 1: morning show, we would always stand outside of the booth
Speaker 1: in the blazing sun for hours, and I mean, I
Speaker 1: have some of the sweatiest, most disgusting memories of the
Speaker 1: Minnesota State Fair. But yeah, last year we had a
Speaker 1: booth change. We're like basically connected to the Kfan booth
Speaker 1: and so while we were actually doing our show, we
Speaker 1: were covered and then we'd kind of lean out of
Speaker 1: the booth or sometimes step on the other side to
Speaker 1: get pictures with people. It was the last year was
Speaker 1: like the worst date fair of my life, like I
Speaker 1: put my dog down, Like the first day of the
Speaker 1: State Fair, it was the most miserable experience to go
Speaker 1: out and work and act happy every single day. So
Speaker 1: I'm actually looking forward to this year if we could
Speaker 1: have some of that weather. Yeah, Like Friday was so
Speaker 1: weird because Jake and I I booked a rooftop over
Speaker 1: at the rive Terras like four seasons for his birthday gathering,
Speaker 1: just me and him birthday date. Who knew it would
Speaker 1: be so windy and chilly. We had to have blankets,
Speaker 1: our cups were nearly flying away. But I was like
Speaker 1: I do It was still fine. We had a good time,
Speaker 1: but I was like, I do wish that it would
Speaker 1: be nice. Yeah, but I'm curious if we're going to
Speaker 1: get a lot of rain. Since we had so much
Speaker 1: rain this year, I wonder if it'll continue over the
Speaker 1: State Fair. I don't know. I don't know. I've I
Speaker 1: feel like I've been pretty lucky because we've had different
Speaker 1: booths practically every couple of years that I've went. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So the one that was like over on the other
Speaker 1: side of the bridge that was like the big purple
Speaker 1: box thing whatever it was, Purple box where it was
Speaker 1: like a purple Are you talking about the one two
Speaker 1: years ago or the Okay, so this would have been
Speaker 1: back in twenty seventeen. Okay, maybe it was purple. I
Speaker 1: don't know what my head I thought it was like
Speaker 1: reddish color bred. It very well could have been purple.
Speaker 1: The one that we had to like you had to
Speaker 1: climb a ladder to get up to our actual Yeah
Speaker 1: that one. Okay, that one I remember having like a
Speaker 1: couple shifts out there where I just broadcast by myself
Speaker 1: and it was pretty hot. Yeah. But then I feel
Speaker 1: like I don't remember too many other times where I've
Speaker 1: been like sweaty, sweaty, I mean, were like jeans and
Speaker 1: a tank top and been comfortable pretty much. Every time
Speaker 1: I feel like I look the I look fondly on
Speaker 1: that booth the most. For me, I think if you're
Speaker 1: if you're older Katie WB like Dave and Steve O
Speaker 1: and stuff, I bet that they would look more fondly
Speaker 1: on the one that was by the Haunted House. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: but I did. I never worked the Haunted House. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They even say. The dumbest thing that this day, one
Speaker 1: of the dumbest things the station ever did was give
Speaker 1: up that spot because it was like they say, prime location.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what happened why they gave it up.
Speaker 1: So my first one, yes, was on the other side
Speaker 1: of the bridge almost basically just the other side of
Speaker 1: the bridge from Kfan. It's like it was like right
Speaker 1: under that little thing. Yeah, and I have the fondest
Speaker 1: memories of that because it's like my very beginning morning
Speaker 1: show days. The crowd, like the crowd from the fair
Speaker 1: was always huge. We were just blazing in the sun
Speaker 1: on like a blacktop stage. But even though it was
Speaker 1: miserably hot, I feel like the actual like fan interaction
Speaker 1: was great. Then we moved to the Circle one right
Speaker 1: by the carousel, and to me, that was the lamest
Speaker 1: setup we've ever had. Well, yeah, I feel like it
Speaker 1: was weird. Right on a main road. It was almost
Speaker 1: like we were hidden. Yes, it was bizarre. It was
Speaker 1: like people didn't couldn't see us. And then we didn't
Speaker 1: have a normal looking stage. It was like this bid
Speaker 1: as well, not even had a stay. It was bizarre.
Speaker 1: So this new location is nice because there's like kind
Speaker 1: of like it's almost like built. What I loved about
Speaker 1: K Fan they have freaking bleachers, they have a built
Speaker 1: in audience. I mean, they have a huge fan base.
Speaker 1: They have freaking bleachers so people sit and watch them.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I wish they put bleachers on the other side.
Speaker 1: There are a few little benches, but it like gives
Speaker 1: you a built in audience, which makes it feel less weird.
Speaker 1: But I do like this new location me too. And
Speaker 1: it's pretty much right next to like the one yeah
Speaker 1: by the carousel. They've all been yeah, like close to
Speaker 1: each other, the three that I've been at. So I'm
Speaker 1: there seven days. I'm there every weekday except for Labor Day,
Speaker 1: and I'm there two until six, and then I am
Speaker 1: doing the Jason Show, but only the first day of
Speaker 1: the fair and the last Friday of the fair, and
Speaker 1: he's doing two hours out there. My two shifts, I'm
Speaker 1: only doing an hour, So those two days are going
Speaker 1: to be chaotic. Yeah, And then I do like one
Speaker 1: Treasure Island one hour appearance, like one to to on
Speaker 1: like the twenty eighth or something nice, so I will
Speaker 1: be I think the thing is is most people in
Speaker 1: media don't love the fair. Yeah, well it's just it's
Speaker 1: fun to an extent, but like everyone else loves the
Speaker 1: fair to go out there and have a good time.
Speaker 1: But like, I've only lived in Minnesota long enough to
Speaker 1: basically only be there to work. Yes, so I've never
Speaker 1: I went one time in college with a roommate and
Speaker 1: her family, but I didn't understand the concept of the
Speaker 1: Minnesota stay here. Back then, I had no money, so
Speaker 1: I wasn't spending any money, and I think her parents
Speaker 1: bought me like a corn on the cop Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that was pretty much it. And so I only like
Speaker 1: kind of associated it as work, yes, and I still
Speaker 1: enjoy Like most times I'll hang out like one shift
Speaker 1: afterwards and meet up with Andrew, because Andrew would spend
Speaker 1: every day out there if if he was available to.
Speaker 1: But he's usually out there at some point where we
Speaker 1: just like meet up after a shift and then hang out.
Speaker 1: But I am going to also be there a few days,
Speaker 1: not as many as Fallin the first Saturday, we are
Speaker 1: always out there with the morning show. Our shift is
Speaker 1: ten to three. I'm actually only going to be there
Speaker 1: noon to three because i have a wedding in Wisconsin
Speaker 1: on Friday night, So I'm going to be going to
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Friday after the show, going to a wedding, getting
Speaker 1: up real early, driving back and going to be at
Speaker 1: the fair at noon, and then we're all out there
Speaker 1: the second Thursday, the morning show eleven to one pm,
Speaker 1: and then I'll be there on Labor Day three to
Speaker 1: six pm. So one other thing I would say is like,
Speaker 1: I feel like when you complain about something that I
Speaker 1: never like. It's not like we don't enjoy seeing and
Speaker 1: meeting people. Yeah, I think a lot of people that
Speaker 1: work the fair, though they're making extra money, we are not.
Speaker 1: So it's like basically spending extra gas, like doubling all
Speaker 1: of our drive times to work, being in the blazing
Speaker 1: sun and we're you know, we're porcelain skinned, little innocence here.
Speaker 1: We're used to the ac And then the one other
Speaker 1: really bizarre thing. This is kind of like a look
Speaker 1: on the inside. So you're at the fair and you
Speaker 1: have people looking at you, but you have to remember
Speaker 1: you're not really there to entertain people at the fair
Speaker 1: because the majority of your audience is listening, not at
Speaker 1: the fairy. So you have to walk this balance of
Speaker 1: like being live and local. We're at the State Fair,
Speaker 1: which is what everyone's talking about, but we can't just
Speaker 1: entertain people here. And I'm sorry, I don't think anyone's
Speaker 1: show is as good live as when they're in the studio.
Speaker 1: So it's like, I don't know, I always go back
Speaker 1: and forth, like I like, it makes sense to meet
Speaker 1: a bunch of people, but your bigger audience is not there,
Speaker 1: so it's it's a very weird thing. But you have
Speaker 1: you kind of have to be there, so it's just well,
Speaker 1: we have to be there. So that's just how it goes,
Speaker 1: for sure. And then like we go through like the
Speaker 1: T shirt design process, which is what we're going through now,
Speaker 1: and yeah, so but I mean again, I will get
Speaker 1: to hang out with Colt at the fair and eat
Speaker 1: junk food and the hopefully mostly just nice people, so
Speaker 1: it could be a lot worse for sure. For sure,
Speaker 1: I really do. I Yeah, I like going out there.
Speaker 1: I think for me, I just it's it's always been
Speaker 1: a long marathon because I still like bounce out there
Speaker 1: every day and it's a lot, but it's at least
Speaker 1: during her shift, whereas everything that I'm doing is outside
Speaker 1: of what I'm already working for the week, and usually
Speaker 1: I'm out there the first Saturday and Sunday, and this
Speaker 1: year I got scheduled for like labor day weekend instead,
Speaker 1: So now it's like, yeah, it's kind of like I'd
Speaker 1: rather just have that first Saturday and Sunday to get
Speaker 1: those shifts done with and then like the next weekend
Speaker 1: to myself. But you know whatever, we just got to
Speaker 1: get through it and then September will be here and yeah, summers.
Speaker 1: I love the fall, me too, I do too. I
Speaker 1: really this summer has been great in my opinion. I
Speaker 1: actually do think it's been pretty great. It hasn't been
Speaker 1: obnoxiously hot. I've been loving these like random kind of days.
Speaker 1: And I also feel like, because of what my personality is,
Speaker 1: when it's been raining, I feel like cool. I can
Speaker 1: slow down for a second, because in the summer I
Speaker 1: feel not great about myself when it's a beautiful day
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm gonna go take a two hour
Speaker 1: and nap because I'm tired or whatever from the morning show,
Speaker 1: and then I feel really shitty about myself because I
Speaker 1: just wasted a beautiful afternoon I could have been doing
Speaker 1: something outside or whatever. My old lady joy comes from.
Speaker 1: All of the rain has just made my flowers pop. Yeah, girl,
Speaker 1: they pop in and I am loving it. So it's
Speaker 1: been lovely what else you had a bachelorette party? This
Speaker 1: same did. It was the most mature bachelor party I've
Speaker 1: ever been at. Oh yeah, a lot of dicks. Then no,
Speaker 1: there was one huge pink dill though that was given
Speaker 1: to the bride, and that was about it. I did put.
Speaker 1: I did take pictures of it on the my friend's
Speaker 1: dog on his head. What the hell, Jenny. I tried
Speaker 1: to get a stick and Bear was like not having it,
Speaker 1: so I was like whatever, uh, And then yeah, we
Speaker 1: just did like a little fun tea party. It was cute.
Speaker 1: We had lots of little like small tea food, like
Speaker 1: appetizer sides, food and stuff. We had so much food.
Speaker 1: The plan was to do like the tea party. It
Speaker 1: was like a full day of events on Saturday, and
Speaker 1: then a kind of a spa headicure situation during the
Speaker 1: afternoon and hang by the pool, and then at night
Speaker 1: we're going to order pizza, play games. We had so
Speaker 1: much food left over, like we did not need to
Speaker 1: order pizza, which was great because that's like one last
Speaker 1: thing we're spending money. I was sure. But it was
Speaker 1: only like a group of like seven of us, so
Speaker 1: it was small enough that I feel like it was
Speaker 1: fun and easy and whatever, and I don't know, I
Speaker 1: just liked it. We didn't go out to bars or anything.
Speaker 1: Like cocktails and drinks were consumed throughout the day, but
Speaker 1: nobody got like hammered or anything. And yeah, it was
Speaker 1: a good time. It felt like a very mature bachelorette party.
Speaker 1: That's nice. Actually, Yeah, And like, honestly, I don't know
Speaker 1: the last couple ones I've gone to that were destination ones.
Speaker 1: They were by no means like out of control, but
Speaker 1: it was still us like bar hopping or like into loom.
Speaker 1: We were at a beach club all day, drinking and stuff,
Speaker 1: and it was just nice to have like a solid
Speaker 1: place that we stayed at. And one of the girls
Speaker 1: is just she lives in a beautiful apartment that has
Speaker 1: like a terrace area. We could set up the tea
Speaker 1: party and there's a pool and all that was like
Speaker 1: built in already, so we didn't have to go like
Speaker 1: pay for a nice airbnb or or anything. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it was super fun. We had one funny thing happened.
Speaker 1: We went to go take pictures by the river because
Speaker 1: we were right in the North Group area and we're
Speaker 1: taking these pictures, we bought. We brought a stand like
Speaker 1: this big stand and everything with us so that we
Speaker 1: didn't you know, we didn't know if we'd have anyone
Speaker 1: to take pictures. Well, these three kids, and I say
Speaker 1: kids because they literally looked like they were like fresh
Speaker 1: twenty one twenty two year old. Yeah, they come scooting
Speaker 1: buy on like some lime scooters and they're like hey,
Speaker 1: like woo, happy bachelor whatever. And then they're like, wait,
Speaker 1: can we help or something, and they came over and
Speaker 1: they wanted to You could tell they were like trying
Speaker 1: to hit on us. And I probably thought that we
Speaker 1: were like going to be some wild bachelorette party and
Speaker 1: that just like wasn't the vibe. None of the girls
Speaker 1: are single except for one of them, and so we
Speaker 1: all just sat there. And we also had a Polaroid
Speaker 1: camera that prints the pictures right away, so we were like, hey,
Speaker 1: can you take those, like we could use some help
Speaker 1: because we want pictures with that and we couldn't set
Speaker 1: that on the selfie stand thing. And so they took
Speaker 1: some pictures and then they're like, well, we got to
Speaker 1: get it in one and whatever, and then we're like,
Speaker 1: you guys should take a picture of yourself and put
Speaker 1: your number on it and give it out to people
Speaker 1: at the bar. And they're like, oh, yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: really good idea. And so then they leave and like
Speaker 1: seconds later, one of them comes back. He's like, hey,
Speaker 1: does one of you guys have a pen? And we're
Speaker 1: like no. And I was like it was like his
Speaker 1: attempt to try to like put his number and give
Speaker 1: it back to us and whatever. And it was just
Speaker 1: so funny because their game was so weak. Yep, it
Speaker 1: was just not strong. And I could tell that they
Speaker 1: weren't local to the North Lup area because they were
Speaker 1: like rolling around on scooters. When we asked them, like, oh,
Speaker 1: what are you guys up to, like going out partying
Speaker 1: tonight or something, They're like, oh yeah, like we'll probably
Speaker 1: go or we're going to go out. We're like, well,
Speaker 1: what bar are you guys going to go to? And
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, just whatever bar. And I was like,
Speaker 1: you guys are not from around. I was getting the
Speaker 1: vibe that they were in the city for maybe the
Speaker 1: Vikings game or something pay and they were trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what was next. But really they felt like
Speaker 1: a little more like maybe they live in a suburb
Speaker 1: or a small trye and so seeing a bachelorette party
Speaker 1: was like the highlight of their afternoon, Whereas like I
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know, this is a pretty normal thing.
Speaker 1: I feel like if you're in the city to see
Speaker 1: my bachelorette party, but like things like that happen and whatever.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so it was good. It was fun. And
Speaker 1: then I got weddings coming up the next couple of weekends. Yea,
Speaker 1: and yeah, just a pretty packed August for me. I
Speaker 1: got the thing that like, it's crazy because I'm on
Speaker 1: like kind of the other end of the spectrum. The
Speaker 1: only friends that like right now I have that I
Speaker 1: could see like me even going to a bachelorette party
Speaker 1: in the near five year plan would be my friend Abby,
Speaker 1: who's my age. She's never been married, and it would
Speaker 1: be super small and I don't it would not be crazy.
Speaker 1: She would probably want to get drunk, but I don't
Speaker 1: think it'd be crazy. Tina, yep, and putent you. But
Speaker 1: that's if you want to get married. I know you've
Speaker 1: like you're that's not your goal in life. Not saying
Speaker 1: that's Abby and Tina's goal, but like they I think
Speaker 1: they're more on that path than you. Are, so I
Speaker 1: can't think of any anyone else. I think yours would
Speaker 1: be kind of the craziest. But also Tina's friend group
Speaker 1: they go hard with parties. I will be worried about
Speaker 1: about Tina's because I don't want to be lame and
Speaker 1: ditch out, because like she is one of my best friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I also will be worried, But I was gonna
Speaker 1: say I think Tina's would be crazier. The funny thing
Speaker 1: is we had a conversation at this bachelrett party, me
Speaker 1: in one of the girls, and I was She was
Speaker 1: just asking me where I was at with like marriage
Speaker 1: and all this stuff, and I was like, I just
Speaker 1: this just isn't like something I foresee myself doing. Not
Speaker 1: not getting married, just like doing all the parties and
Speaker 1: the bridal shower, in the wedding and whatever. That's like
Speaker 1: just not really in my realm of ideas of if
Speaker 1: I decided to get married. And she's like, well, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't at least want to have a bachelorette. I go,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the one thing I would maybe want
Speaker 1: to do. But the thing is, is what I would
Speaker 1: want to do for a bacheorette. None of you guys
Speaker 1: would want to do it, and she's like, what do
Speaker 1: you mean? I was like, I would want to go
Speaker 1: climb to the top of a mountain, Like that's what
Speaker 1: I would want to do. Like I don't want to
Speaker 1: go rent a party bus and get hand like that's
Speaker 1: not like I just feel like we always do obviously
Speaker 1: what the brides into what they're interested in doing, and
Speaker 1: like at this point in my life, I'm not into
Speaker 1: that kind of party phase, Jenny. I would go. I
Speaker 1: just don't know if I could hike as far as you,
Speaker 1: but I would, but I like it. It's I always
Speaker 1: think they have you sent memes lately that are like
Speaker 1: just so you know, have you seen them about hiking?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't remember what the phrasing is,
Speaker 1: but it's in the line lines of like going out
Speaker 1: and like living your life doesn't have to involve a
Speaker 1: hike or something makes me laugh. I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 1: feel like I'm falling into that now, Like I enjoy
Speaker 1: doing kind of stuff like that a little bit more.
Speaker 1: I think that, like, but we didn't grow up experiences
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and so I think, yes, you
Speaker 1: can say social media causes people to do things just
Speaker 1: for like social mediases, but social media also has taught
Speaker 1: me things, and like I've gone and done things because
Speaker 1: of social media, so then yeah, I'm posting about it too.
Speaker 1: But like I didn't grow up around hiking and mountains
Speaker 1: and all these outdoor activities, and now that I discover them,
Speaker 1: I am hype to do them. And it's not just
Speaker 1: because I want to post something on social media. It's
Speaker 1: like what brings me so much joy. I will say that,
Speaker 1: like at this bachelorette party, I feel like I started
Speaker 1: having a little bit of an internal struggle with my age.
Speaker 1: I guess you could say, so the girl who's getting
Speaker 1: married thirty and I'm thirty four now, and then like
Speaker 1: it was a range of like twenty eight to like
Speaker 1: thirty six year olds that were there, and I just
Speaker 1: feel like, even though I'm like very okay with where
Speaker 1: I'm at in life, there's part of me that feels
Speaker 1: like I'm behind almost because all of my friends are
Speaker 1: married and are engaged and are having kids or whatever
Speaker 1: it is. And maybe behind is not the right word,
Speaker 1: but I started just like really thinking about my age,
Speaker 1: and like in my twenties, yeah, I understood I was
Speaker 1: getting older. And stuff, But like I just feel like
Speaker 1: I was like allowed to do whatever I wanted in
Speaker 1: my twenties and now there's like the societal standard of like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm in my thirties, so and not to beat this
Speaker 1: into the ground, because I think everyone talks about this
Speaker 1: a lot with women and thinking that you have to
Speaker 1: have kids by this age or whatever it is. In biologically, yes,
Speaker 1: there is an age you kind of have to have
Speaker 1: kids by. But I feel like I like can't do
Speaker 1: things that i'd want to in my twenties, and not
Speaker 1: that I want to party, but I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: just expected so many things, like my friend asking me
Speaker 1: when they very much know I don't really care about marriage,
Speaker 1: but they're like, well, where are you guys at and stuff,
Speaker 1: almost like surprise still that we're not at the point
Speaker 1: where we're, oh, we need to get married or whatever.
Speaker 1: So I feel like I just started really like thinking
Speaker 1: about my age, and then it got brought up because
Speaker 1: one of the girls is thirty six. How like it's
Speaker 1: a weird feeling to be closer to forty than thirty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I don't know, I think I got in my
Speaker 1: head a little bit over the weekend. Then about just
Speaker 1: like getting older, and I haven't really thought too much
Speaker 1: about that, and like recently, I guess, but I did.
Speaker 1: I started feeling it. And also like one of the
Speaker 1: girls had just gone ring shopping before the Bacherette party
Speaker 1: and she's been with her partner for a year and
Speaker 1: a half and she's like four years younger than me,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't know. It's just wild how
Speaker 1: you feel about things even though you know deep down
Speaker 1: what you want. Yeah, like I don't want or I
Speaker 1: should say, I don't need a marriage, I don't need
Speaker 1: these things. Do I want it someday? Maybe? Right? But
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm supposed to need and want these
Speaker 1: things because of everyone else around me. It's not even
Speaker 1: just I know we joke about the biological clock, but
Speaker 1: it's true. It's a real thing that you can't even
Speaker 1: explain it. I'm sure that I think it's a combination
Speaker 1: of the outside, but there is something like and my
Speaker 1: dad said this, which he's not philosophical by any means,
Speaker 1: but he I'm trying to think how I want to
Speaker 1: word this, but he felt like I got married at
Speaker 1: thirty because women do that. They feel like they have
Speaker 1: to get married at thirty and I was like, that
Speaker 1: is not true at all. I feel like I proved
Speaker 1: his point by getting divorced pretty quickly after. He didn't
Speaker 1: tell me that though. He told my mom that and
Speaker 1: she told me later, and I was like, I never
Speaker 1: went into that marriage once feeling like I was trying
Speaker 1: to get something done by a certain age. That's like
Speaker 1: I just didn't. But I do think that it is
Speaker 1: not just kids where there's an actual scientific biological clock,
Speaker 1: but like marriage, where there you can get married anytime
Speaker 1: that doesn't affect anything in life. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think that there's something deep within and I do think, yeah,
Speaker 1: there are outside things you see and friends and everyone's
Speaker 1: doing something different that also affect it. But I don't
Speaker 1: think it's abnormal that you're feeling that, especially around this age,
Speaker 1: because like you're literally hitting the age where it's considered
Speaker 1: geriatric pregnancy, which is hellilarious and crazy. And that's just
Speaker 1: crazy to me that at thirty four years old, that's
Speaker 1: ary like you're thirty five, is geriatric pregnancy. Yeah, I think.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just like an accumulation of things.
Speaker 1: I feel like because you put your you put the
Speaker 1: pressure on to be like at a certain place in
Speaker 1: your career and you compare yourself to your friends and
Speaker 1: the people you surround yourself with and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: And then there's the fact that I literally have two
Speaker 1: bad knees now, and I'm like, what is happening to me?
Speaker 1: Nothing out that are older than you, And then you
Speaker 1: always feel young. Well that's my super age advice. There's
Speaker 1: like no part of me like I feel like you
Speaker 1: and I are the same age. I don't even consider
Speaker 1: you older at all, because I also feel like you
Speaker 1: look younger than me. You don't as you do. You
Speaker 1: have such a young looking face. Thank you, Yes you do.
Speaker 1: And I just, yeah, I don't know. And that's that's
Speaker 1: another thing. And this is very vain, but I'm just
Speaker 1: I feel like when I look at myself in the mirror,
Speaker 1: I'm really starting to realize, like, holy shit, I'm like
Speaker 1: in my mid thirties. And yeah, you know, I still
Speaker 1: think I look like I'm twenty seven and I don't.
Speaker 1: And and Vont like he by no means did this
Speaker 1: on purpose, but we were looking back at a video
Speaker 1: that Tina and I had done back in the day
Speaker 1: when we first were on the show together. And Vn's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, look at you. You look like such
Speaker 1: a baby. And I was like, I still look like that,
Speaker 1: don't I? But I don't. I really don't. Like I
Speaker 1: can see the changes in like the maturity in my
Speaker 1: face even though I get that young both too. But
Speaker 1: you also like, look you look babyish also in those
Speaker 1: videos because your face is fuller. Yeah you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like we all lose like that little like
Speaker 1: baby fat on our faces, except for me because I
Speaker 1: have a round face, full life. But like if you'll
Speaker 1: notice it, like you'll look at women and they still
Speaker 1: look young and beautiful. That's why they get that Google fat.
Speaker 1: It's called technical therm boogle, isn't that what's I have
Speaker 1: no idea where they like they'll remove it from their
Speaker 1: cheeks when they're younger because they want that sculpted look.
Speaker 1: But then they're like, don't do that because when you're older,
Speaker 1: you could have wish you had that. Okay now because
Speaker 1: it probably has like the collagen in it that needs
Speaker 1: to keep your eyes up and say yeah whatever, yeah
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, So but I think that like you
Speaker 1: just I don't know. It's I don't think you look older,
Speaker 1: but I get it. We all look at those because
Speaker 1: we over examine our own faces and things and all
Speaker 1: sit around with like moms all the time, right, And
Speaker 1: I know I'm older than some of them, and some
Speaker 1: of them will be older than me, and I will
Speaker 1: be like, I don't look that age, right like I
Speaker 1: think in my head, I'll be like, she looks like
Speaker 1: a forty year old mom, but I don't look like
Speaker 1: a forty year old mom right Like in my head,
Speaker 1: I'm like crazy about it, and it's so stupid. Which,
Speaker 1: by the way, this forty year old mom over here
Speaker 1: got I got the official letter from all of his
Speaker 1: teacher with like the school supply list and all that stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, my life is shifting. It's so bizarre,
Speaker 1: that is wow. I had ordered all of it, got
Speaker 1: her first backpack, like a legit backpack. Got like, I
Speaker 1: ordered all the like crowns and markers and crap parent
Speaker 1: teacher conferences to print off, like all of our background
Speaker 1: check on the work on the work printer what up?
Speaker 1: Because I'm not I'm a printer at home. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: I do it. I doesn't have ink, so but yeah,
Speaker 1: I trust me, Jenny when I say like, I'm like
Speaker 1: how the f am I forty and I'm trying to
Speaker 1: lean into like saying it yeah, because like I was
Speaker 1: like weird about it, Like I don't I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to say I'm forty. I'm always afraid like
Speaker 1: people like will think differently of me on the radio,
Speaker 1: Like people who listen to me on the morning show
Speaker 1: could put two and two together. There really is like
Speaker 1: a large new audience in the afternoon show. And I
Speaker 1: don't know, like it's a it's a mental game with
Speaker 1: my job. I mean you could argue, like obviously I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about the marriage kid portion of my age anymore.
Speaker 1: But I think that everything you're feeling is very normal.
Speaker 1: I think in that in the twenties, you like want
Speaker 1: to get all these like accomplishments. I should have like
Speaker 1: more money, I should have like this status, I should
Speaker 1: have like this, And then I think your thirties is
Speaker 1: where you're figuring out like the balance of actual life
Speaker 1: of like Okay, maybe I'm still not exactly where I
Speaker 1: want to be in my career, but I'm closer to it.
Speaker 1: But then like am I having kids fast enough? Am
Speaker 1: I having a husband? Am I doing like I think
Speaker 1: that all those thoughts you're having are just so normal,
Speaker 1: and you do start questioning yourself out at social events,
Speaker 1: like do I belong here? Am I too old for this?
Speaker 1: Is everyone thinking I'm the old woman at this party?
Speaker 1: Or different things? Yeah? I know, and I think I
Speaker 1: think I just like, I don't know, just multiple things
Speaker 1: at this Bachelor I party kind of had me thinking
Speaker 1: about that. But like like those kids coming up and
Speaker 1: trying to hit on us, It's like, I just like,
Speaker 1: I am in such a happy relationship, and but like
Speaker 1: I feel like I shouldn't even be talking to these
Speaker 1: like young kids, you know what I mean. Yeah, I'm like,
Speaker 1: and then I think about I'm like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I was just young enough and
Speaker 1: like when I was single obviously, but like to be
Speaker 1: hanging out with someone even though they were kind of young.
Speaker 1: But now I'm like, holy fuck, I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: like twelve years older than these kids right practically if
Speaker 1: they are like only twenty two, which is honestly what
Speaker 1: they looked like to me. And so yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Just ages creeps up on you sometimes. It's been kind
Speaker 1: of in the back of my head lately. There will
Speaker 1: be like, but those moments that really like put like
Speaker 1: a magnifying glass on. You're like, I don't what the
Speaker 1: hell I was thinking. I'm like, for some reason, five
Speaker 1: is just like such a big age to me for
Speaker 1: all of and it's been making me like very emotional,
Speaker 1: and so I was like, I think I'm gonna sit
Speaker 1: down and I'm gonna like write something because like the
Speaker 1: I don't know what it will be, but like the
Speaker 1: outside like I don't know what I've learned or something
Speaker 1: from a woman who never wanted kids kind of like
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, I don't know how I'm
Speaker 1: gonna like phrase it, but it's almost like the things
Speaker 1: I've learned about myself through being a mother of a
Speaker 1: now like someone a kid who's turning five. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: you could, I've made it through the newborn toddler face yep.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know. It's it's so it's bizarre and
Speaker 1: I but I think I'm gonna sit down and like
Speaker 1: try to write that, and then I'll put it into
Speaker 1: chap GPT and ask them to make it sound more
Speaker 1: eloquent and then and then I'll share it. You're so
Speaker 1: funny because you always think you're so bad at writing.
Speaker 1: You have other people help you with things, but like,
Speaker 1: you speak so well and like you here, and you
Speaker 1: and your stories are so well spoken that I can't
Speaker 1: imagine that it would not translate to writing if you
Speaker 1: wanted to write something down. I'm not a good writer,
Speaker 1: I like. I think the reason one of the reasons
Speaker 1: I think I could like write like short little like
Speaker 1: a little sonnet. Yeah, yeah, but I have. It was
Speaker 1: really ingrained in me in college because they did so
Speaker 1: many journalism classes to like remove all the flowery bullshit
Speaker 1: and get to your point, keep it simple, stupid. So
Speaker 1: I write sentences I feel like a child where I
Speaker 1: mean Jason Mathison, I'll text them some He'll be like,
Speaker 1: he'll like laugh at something I wrote, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: and I in my head, I'm like, wait, did I
Speaker 1: like write something wrong here? I'm so confused, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I think that I just I have a I have
Speaker 1: removed the flowery ye things from my writing. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. So I like, I had to write a
Speaker 1: bio for the Fox website the other day. So I
Speaker 1: wrote it all the way I would write it, and
Speaker 1: then I did literally put it in chat GPT, and
Speaker 1: I was like, make this sound more professional. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: it was lovely. And I still made some tweaks when
Speaker 1: it came out because it was like, that doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like me. But for the most part was like, hell yeah,
Speaker 1: Chat GPT. Change in lives, changing lives, changing our abilities
Speaker 1: to creatively think sometimes. I know, honestly, I'm like, why
Speaker 1: am I? Jake's like, and that's why they're taking our jobs.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're not wrong, You're not wrong at all, geez,
Speaker 1: And I'm candying it over to chat GEP. Do you
Speaker 1: here take my job? So we are getting close to time,
Speaker 1: but I know, wasn't there something else that you know?
Speaker 1: We can save it for next week? Yeah? All right, Well,
