WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.480 You're my mic on Yeah, okay, okay. Sol had a 2 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:07.719 moment of silence staring at me, and I was like, wait, 3 00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:09.640 are we recording? Do you want me to kick it off? 4 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:10.279 Or yes? I do? 5 00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:13.720 Okay, Hi, welcome to I'm Still Fun. This is the 6 00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.559 podcast that Found and myself Jennys do every single week 7 00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:18.359 and it comes out on Tuesday mornings and you can 8 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.320 listen to it wherever you listen to your podcasts. 9 00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.440 Let's get some admin out of the way. Next week 10 00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:27.399 we will not have a podcast. I know you might 11 00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.719 be thinking, wow, guys, this just happened. You're right, but 12 00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.240 it's summer summer and Jenny's going to Iceland, so she 13 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.240 will be out of the country. And while I did 14 00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.840 demand that she do a podcast from Iceland, she could 15 00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.200 not confirm that she would have internet service. Yeah. 16 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.000 Unfortunately, I'll be in a camper van and I will 17 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:49.359 a for sure not have the equipment. 18 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.359 How many times do you think you'll dig a hole 19 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:52.759 in Iceland and shit in it? 20 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.359 I don't think I'm going to have to because we 21 00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.159 can't wildcamp in Iceland. We have to physically be camping 22 00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:01.039 at campsites there, so I will have access to bathroom facility. 23 00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:03.479 You upset by that that you won't get to get 24 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:05.719 Holy Primal? Yeah, not at all. 25 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:07.640 I'm very excited that I'm going to have access to 26 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.680 a bathroom, especially since my younger sister's coming with me 27 00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.480 and she's never done campervan or like the life stuff before. 28 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.000 Like that would have been quite the culture shock for her, 29 00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:19.640 I think, on top of being in a different country. 30 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.200 So I'm pretty okay with the fact that we'll actually 31 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.239 have some toilets to use. The good news is Iceland 32 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.840 is not extreme culture shock, so I don't think it's 33 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.200 going to affect your sister at all. It's most European 34 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:36.120 countries and they everyone speaks English, so and definitely English. 35 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.400 It's very I didn't think there was anything abnormal about 36 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:43.120 Iceland when I went. Is it driving on the right 37 00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:44.439 side of the road or the wrong side? 38 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.680 For you? Remember, I'm pretty sure we were on the 39 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:51.599 right side, okay, like America. But I guess I now 40 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:53.400 that I'm thinking about it, I guess I don't completely. 41 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.000 I never drive, Let's be honest. When Jake and I 42 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.159 go on vacations. First of all, a lot of cars 43 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.519 you rent their manual there, so I don't know how 44 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:06.040 to drive that. And yeah, so Jake always drives pretty 45 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:07.319 much if we get a rental car. 46 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.479 Yeah, I'm a little bit nervous about that because truthfully, 47 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:14.680 like the big Cambra van trips I've taken, I literally 48 00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:16.719 didn't drive at all, And now I'm going with my 49 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.599 younger sister and I don't I feel like I'm the 50 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.319 adult in this duo, and so I think I'm going 51 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.800 to be doing most of the driving with it, which 52 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.560 is fine, but I'm also usually with the long cammera 53 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.759 van trips I've done, it would be like me on 54 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.319 my phone looking for like the next super cool thing 55 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.560 to do, but not having to drive, so like I 56 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.199 could find everything and plan everything. And we just have 57 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.879 a loose itinerary for this trip, so we'll see how 58 00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:42.319 that goes. 59 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.400 If I recall I remember, I feel like I remember 60 00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.919 all the roads being just fine, you know what I mean, 61 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.400 like nicely paved. Definitely not There's just like two lane 62 00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:57.840 that I remember, only issue very wendy, which is not 63 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.879 great probably for the camper vane extra stress I remember, 64 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.280 which I think I've told you. The gas is insanely expensive, 65 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.240 Like everything's expensive there. That's like part of it, but 66 00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.759 it's you know, I feel like you are good at 67 00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:16.919 doing things cheap. 68 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.199 So yeah, that's the thing. I've got plenty of plans 69 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.520 to keep it decently cheap. My sister told me that 70 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.719 she is checking a bag, which is fine, but I 71 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.240 literally was like, you need to send me the dimensions 72 00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.479 of your bag because we have a camper van that's 73 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.120 like a minivan. It's not even a high roof for anything. 74 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.319 So that'll be better than like, you know what, the 75 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:36.680 wind and all that stuff. 76 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.360 Yeah, so I need to make sure that her luggage 77 00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.199 and my luggage are going to fit in the area 78 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.000 that it needs to fit in because I know how 79 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.960 to live out of a very small space now and 80 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.599 have pretty minimal things. But the thing with Iceland is 81 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.039 you actually have to have so much shit. You need layers, 82 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.680 you need different kinds of clothes and stuff to be 83 00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:58.719 able to survive the weather elements. So I told her 84 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.840 this weekend, I'm like, you need to measure suitcase. You 85 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:02.639 need to send it to me. I need to figure 86 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.120 out so I know what I can bring for luggage 87 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:06.400 to make sure everything fits. 88 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:09.319 What airlines flying Delta okay? Nice? 89 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.560 Yeah, and so far I don't want to jinx myself. 90 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.800 But my flight there, my row is not full yet. 91 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.319 I think there's a there's the middle seat open, but 92 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:19.800 we'll see. 93 00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:20.199 I don't know. 94 00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:22.279 I keep like frantically checking to see if I need 95 00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.439 to like move my seat to a different area, you know. 96 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:27.560 Oh yeah, But yeah, I'm excited. I can't believe, like 97 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.120 I haven't had truly a I mean found I did 98 00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.040 our a little retreat, but that was like in the 99 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:35.439 middle of the week, and I didn't really feel necessarily 100 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.160 like a vacation to me. And then I did go 101 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:40.680 to the Badlands, but that was literally the week I 102 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:45.560 like ended my relationship and so that was not a vacation. 103 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.879 So I haven't been on a trip this year yet, 104 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.240 and I'm just excited to have some time off and 105 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:53.319 be one with nature. 106 00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:55.480 You planned it really well too, where you get like 107 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.439 extended time off, Yeah, because it's over the fourth of July. Yeah, 108 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:02.360 I I need to like take a note and do 109 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.839 a vacation like that where you get like the extra time. 110 00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:09.360 It's always like hard to do that with our two 111 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.800 person show, though, because I always feel like I'm betraying 112 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.720 Colt a little bit. I feel easier on the morning 113 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.439 show because you have like three other people, so it's 114 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.480 not a betrayal. Like if Colt did that to me, 115 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.160 I would probably turn on him for multiple days. Yes, 116 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.879 but I am very happy for you that you get 117 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:29.040 to do that and enjoy some time. We'll see how 118 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.399 it goes. I know, like traveling with a sibling, that 119 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.519 can be interesting. I would be curious to see I 120 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.800 love my sister, but I would be very curious to 121 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.319 see how my sister and I do alone going to 122 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.040 Europe together. I don't know how that would go. 123 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.560 I agree. I am a very independent person when it 124 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.560 comes to being on trips and stuff like I if 125 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.319 I go on a bachelor party trip somewhere, I will 126 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.240 leave and go walk around by myself while everyone else 127 00:05:58.319 --> 00:05:59.920 is hanging out at the house or something like that. 128 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.600 It's kind of my style of traveling sometimes when you're 129 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:06.720 with other people and I feel like I might get 130 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.759 up in the morning and just meander around if we're 131 00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.920 staying at a place that's like a fun campsite area 132 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.639 or whatever. Just things that can give me my own 133 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.800 space and separation from being with her in a van 134 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:22.800 for nine days straight. 135 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.800 Because people are probably curious and you said you have 136 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.120 a loose itinerary. What are some of the highlights that 137 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:32.079 you're looking forward to that are like, you're definitely doing. 138 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:35.000 So we are doing sky Lagoon. We're not doing Blue Lagoon, 139 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.839 and unless it works out that on our way back, 140 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:39.720 we happen to be able to book on the way 141 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.839 back and we decide we want to do that also, 142 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.959 But we're doing sky Lagoon right when we get in. 143 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.680 And then I've got a couple hikes I don't know 144 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.199 the names of, honestly anything because I can't pronounce anything, 145 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:53.920 but I have a couple hikes set. I we're honestly 146 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.399 not booking certain things, like I really want to do 147 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.959 an ice cave tour, but everything I think is going 148 00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:00.759 to be determined on the weather. And as of right now, 149 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.360 it looks like it's going to rain a ton, which 150 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.240 that's just the weather there or whatever. So and I 151 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.800 also don't know where we're going to be at what 152 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:12.319 day because we're really leaving it loose of going around 153 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.120 the entire We're doing the Ring Road, so not the 154 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.120 Golden Just a lot of people go and just do 155 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.759 the Golden Circle, and the Ring Road goes around the 156 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.920 entire country. So tons of spots there. I definitely there's 157 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.759 like a hike to a thermal hot springs. There's a 158 00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.759 couple of things that are like free that are kind 159 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.160 of like a sky lagoon but they're in blue lagoon, 160 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:36.439 but they're free and not as fancy. There's some cities 161 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:38.519 that I've read that are super cool to just kind 162 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.199 of walk through. I want to see all the little 163 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:42.680 houses with the moss on top, so I have a 164 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.279 few pin locations for that because there's a lot of those. 165 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.519 But yeah, I don't know. It's kind of just whatever 166 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.120 we feel like doing. And I am the type of 167 00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.600 person that likes to get out and see everything. So 168 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.439 I guess I'm gonna learn that about my sister how 169 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.959 she feels or she's going to stay in the car. Yeah, 170 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.800 her choice, right, truly, honestly, Like Andrew would always drive 171 00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:05.319 when we would do trips, road trips or campra van stuff, 172 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:06.839 and a lot of times I'd be like stop here, 173 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:08.720 and I would get out and look and he wouldn't. Yeah, 174 00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:10.959 Like that's just how it was sometimes because it'd be 175 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:15.360 a quick stop. So anyways, Yeah, just lots of like waterfalls. 176 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.160 I'm sure I'm gonna probably it's gonna be one of 177 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.120 those trips where you get sick. 178 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.360 Of water by the end. The good news is it 179 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:25.480 really is like you will one thousand percent. There's no 180 00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.839 way you won't get a rainbow in your waterfall. Like 181 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.399 it's like just given there, like you just get the 182 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.120 you get them and there they're awesome. And we did 183 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:35.799 like we went when we started, we went up to 184 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.600 like the I guess the west coast of the country first, 185 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:42.399 and we did like a thermal hot spring there. It 186 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:44.840 was pretty small, but like it was like pretty close 187 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.879 to where we were staying. And then the city that 188 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.840 always sticks out to me is vic. I really liked 189 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:52.240 that area, so I know you'll stop there. And we 190 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.919 did not do the full Golden circle. We did. I 191 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.279 picked the points that I wanted to see and I 192 00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.240 was like, cause it's kind of like this is like 193 00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:03.440 a jake kind of jokes, Like when we went to 194 00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.440 what was it Bam for whatever. Wherever we went, what'd 195 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:12.399 you see a couple or a few beautifully clear blue lakes. 196 00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:15.399 They all kind of start looking the same, which is 197 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.320 kind of like waterfalls, Like you feel bad saying it. 198 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.000 It's like we've you seen a couple of cool waterfalls. 199 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.480 It's like you we were kind of like, Okay, yeah. 200 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.120 I did do something a little bit different with the strip, 201 00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:29.720 where yes, I've used a lot of travel blogs and 202 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:33.679 social media to plan things, but I've really avoided trying 203 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.039 to watch too many videos or look at too many 204 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.320 pictures of things because I just want to see it 205 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.120 in person. And that was the one thing I was 206 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:44.360 always jealous of, because I would plan a fucking ten 207 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.279 day trip Andrew would have no idea what was going on, 208 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.279 and then he just got to see everything for the 209 00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.559 first time in real life, whereas I saw the Google 210 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:54.200 images already of things. So I've been trying to avoid 211 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.320 looking at too much just so I can see it 212 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.000 with my own eyes, yeah, and not be like, ah, 213 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.399 I've already seen like twenty pictures of. 214 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.360 This one thing. What I've like with planning trips with Jake, 215 00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.799 I'll usually pick out where we stay, like I do 216 00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:10.720 the thing, like I'm sure you do, like, hey, this 217 00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:12.720 look good kind of thing, even though I already know 218 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.039 I'm booking it trying to be nice. Yeah, we do, 219 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.840 And then I pick out the exact like cities or 220 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.200 destinations I want to see. I'll ask him if there's 221 00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.159 something he really wants to do, Like we went to Paris. 222 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.440 He has a favorite pastry chef. He was like, I 223 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.320 really want to go. I'm like, absolutely right. But the 224 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:30.559 one thing I make Jake always be in charge of 225 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.720 is transit. You have to figure out how we're getting 226 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.000 from here to there, if we're renting a car, if 227 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.120 we have to get a plane and we have to 228 00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.679 do a train, and what routes we take and book 229 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.320 the proper tickets, because I'm like, that will never be 230 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.879 how my brain works. I hate that aspect, even in 231 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.759 areas where Ione's like, oh it's so easy to do 232 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:49.919 public transit, somehow I'll end up on the train going 233 00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:52.120 the wrong way. I just know it. Yeah, So that's 234 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.399 like the one thing I'm like, you like, especially when 235 00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:56.639 we went to Switzerland and so many trains in care, 236 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.720 I'm like, you are in charge. He's like got it, 237 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.120 and he's he has good like figuring that out. So 238 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.240 I'll give him a pass on that. 239 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:03.120 But that's good. 240 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.240 Yeah, hopefully you know you have some fun travel coming 241 00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:09.360 up too, if you're listening or you have already done 242 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.799 something this year, because it is like obviously if you 243 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:15.240 listen to this podcast. You know, Jenny and I are 244 00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.919 obsessed with traveling and seeing new spots. 245 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.399 So yeah, yeah, I don't have anything else planned after 246 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:25.559 this besides like some bachelor things. But I got a 247 00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.440 lovely DM from our buddy intern John that used to 248 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:31.639 work on the morning show and now he works out 249 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:36.000 in DC in on Radio Style, and he messaged me 250 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:38.279 at like two am on Sunday morning and was like, 251 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.480 come to my bar in DC, pussy, And I was 252 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.639 like literally responding to one of my stories of doing 253 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:47.720 something on Saturday, and I go, you know, this wasn't 254 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:49.360 the DM I was hoping to wake up to on 255 00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:52.039 Sunday morning. But sure, I'll look into some dates to 256 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:55.000 come visit.

When TV I 270 00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.279 used to like meet up with him, and John used 271 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:22.559 to come to the city. Is quite a bit because 272 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.480 his family lived here, but his family moved to Tennessee, 273 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.480 so he doesn't come back here really like no ever anymore. 274 00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:31.360 So maybe a trip to DC's in the future, we'll see. 275 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:34.679 Okay, well that's exciting, something else to look forward to, Jenny, Yeah, 276 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:36.840 you should go.

It's in April that happened. 281 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:45.919 Sounds like it's busy though, Yeah, I don't know. 282 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:46.399 I don't. 283 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.159 I mean it would be fun, but I don't. Yeah, 284 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.120 I don't know. I have been to DC before, but 285 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.559 like very briefly to see John's comedy tours. I don't 286 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:56.200 feel like I really got to explore the city a 287 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:56.679 whole time. 288 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:01.159 I've only been for the cliche middle school field trip 289 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.000 where you go and you see all the things. 290 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:03.759 Yeah, that's all. 291 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:04.320 Yeah, I've been. 292 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.440 John was trying to tell Tina and I. He's like, come, 293 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.000 did you see learn about some history? 294 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:09.159 You like idiots? 295 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.080 And I was like, first of all, if I'm going 296 00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.600 to DC, I don't give a shit about that kind 297 00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:15.639 of stuff. Okay, I maybe you want to see the 298 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:17.879 White House whatever. And I did go to the Smithsonian 299 00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.679 when I was there the last time, but I don't 300 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:22.240 think I even realized how close I was to the 301 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:23.960 White House because I never saw it and I was 302 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.320 in that area. Yeah, like I was right there, but 303 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.360 like we just didn't walk words it, so I didn't 304 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:30.519 even know I was right by it. 305 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:34.679 So I get that. I get that. All I have 306 00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:38.000 to tell you. I think I want to say on 307 00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:43.000 this podcast, like early on starting it, I swear I 308 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.919 made like one of my New Year's resolutions, not this year, 309 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:49.039 it must have been last year or something, that I 310 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.679 wanted to learn how to play majong. Yes you remember this. 311 00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:53.799 I remember you talking about wanting to learn it. Yeah, 312 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:55.799 and I have no idea what point you said that. 313 00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:58.000 But I never ever did it. And I learned to 314 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:01.279 play Friday. Yeah, I was it awesome. Well, I won, 315 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.320 so obviously of course, so obviously the experience was even better. 316 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.559 I actually hit the majong, which is like hitting a bingo. Right, yeah, 317 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.159 so let me go. I'll go give you a quick 318 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.960 little history lesson. Okay, I don't have any actual facts 319 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:18.799 in front of me. So basically, I think if you've 320 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.799 watched Crazy Rich Asians, that might be where you've heard 321 00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:23.799 of majong. At the end when she goes to the 322 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:25.519 mother in law and they're playing the game looks like 323 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:27.559 a dice game with tons of different characters on it. 324 00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:30.279 That's majong. Okay, It's like a four person thing. So 325 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.159 how we did it because we learned there were eight 326 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:33.879 of us because it was my friend's birthday party, so 327 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.159 she hired this woman who teaches and we had partners 328 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.559 just so like because there were eight of us. So 329 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.559 long story longer. I believe it began in like China. 330 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:45.000 Then it was kind of like super popular in like 331 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:50.240 Japan and Indonesia. Then some guy and like the late 332 00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.080 eighteen hundreds from New York went he brought it back. 333 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:55.960 I think it was really huge with like the Jewish community, 334 00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.639 and now it's literally like pickleball, everyone and their brother 335 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:02.879 is obsessed with Majong and how the woman kind of 336 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.519 explained it as like she's from Texas, so like people 337 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:07.440 think it's like a Texas thing because it has that 338 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.759 like flare where you can set up your tablescape super 339 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.080 pretty and you like can get pretty like like colorful dice, 340 00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:17.679 all these different things. So I learned this is kind 341 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:20.840 of cool. Every year, there's like a national organization in 342 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:23.080 like New York or wherever it is, and they're the 343 00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.960 official Majong people. They release a card every year and 344 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.240 that's the card you play by for the entire year. 345 00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:32.279 So it shows you different things you can get, like 346 00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:35.120 because you can line up your dice in like all 347 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.559 these different ways to win, and you as you get 348 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.840 them and you're discarding them and you're going through it, 349 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:44.759 you're like slowly figuring out which one of these lines 350 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.759 you're going to try to go for, Okay, and it 351 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:53.360 is super confusing, but I can see how she said 352 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.679 it's not a game of skill, it's a game of luck, truly. 353 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.879 But she said it would probably take about ten times 354 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.399 playing for you to feel pretty comfortable knowing all the 355 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.559 rules because there are super weird rules of like how 356 00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:10.480 the die is distributed. There's like a it's crazy, but 357 00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.759 it was so fun. I would highly recommend trying it. 358 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:15.840 Let me find this woman. Actually, I think she started 359 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.080 following me online, but she said she like she this 360 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.120 is not her full time job. She just was like 361 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:24.000 I grew up around it. I started like seeing it. 362 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:28.679 She's like nine parties booked that week. I'm like, oh 363 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.679 my god, do. 364 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:31.240 You feel like while you're looking for that, do you 365 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:34.679 feel like it was annoying to learn the rules and 366 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.480 stuff though, Because that's like where my brain taps out 367 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:40.039 of board games is if I have to remember five 368 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.120 million things, I'm kind of like, I'm over it. Like 369 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.919 I think I played Settlers of Katan or Katan whatever 370 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:45.799 one time and. 371 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:50.080 I hated it. I think so I felt like that 372 00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:53.200 was Settlers of Katan as well. I did not like it. 373 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:54.679 I'm not going to find her name. I feel bad. 374 00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:57.279 I'll try to look for it. I felt the same way, 375 00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:58.639 but I think that's because of that game to me 376 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:01.759 was boring. Yeah, this one gave me like a thrill 377 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.599 because you're like you're winning, then you're kind of losing, 378 00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.519 then you're and it's I don't know, it's I felt 379 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.359 like it's so hard. Someone Okay, So she said, it's 380 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.680 like also great for older women because it helps I 381 00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:17.200 know it can't like technically, but it helps with your brain, 382 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.279 like helping you remember things and like work your brain activity. 383 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.599 So it's a great way for women or men whatever 384 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:24.759 to get together. And it's not just about eating out. 385 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.640 So I don't know, there was like excitement to it 386 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.440 because you're up, then you're down. You're up, you're down, 387 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:31.079 And I think once you get really good, you can 388 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:33.240 kind of see you can start actually paying attention to 389 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:34.799 other people and see what they're going for, so you 390 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.319 can start trying to like play defense and block them 391 00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.920 from getting what they want. But like in the early stages, 392 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:43.359 you're so like, so no, I think it could be 393 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:46.640 if I didn't have an instructor and I was trying 394 00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.079 to learn it on my own if that, but she 395 00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:51.839 was so good she would come around and tell you. 396 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.160 She'd be like, look at it. Go this is what 397 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:56.440 line you should be going for. Go to the next person, 398 00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.319 tell them, oh, you should distribute this. You should be 399 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:03.640 looking for this. But it is super confusing. If I 400 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:06.680 went out today and tried to play it without an instructor. 401 00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.119
