Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wine and Wine Podcast. I'm Kelsey and
Speaker 1: I'm Ellie. This is your dose of friendship, fun and
Speaker 1: figuring life out together. Let's be e besties because life
Speaker 1: is messy, Wine hopes.
Speaker 2: And whining is optional. Hi e besties. Hi guys, welcome back,
Speaker 2: Welcome back.
Speaker 3: I feel like I haven't seen you in forever.
Speaker 2: I know, we haven't been able to get together for
Speaker 2: a minute. No, we kind of did a bulk record
Speaker 2: last time we did. We did.
Speaker 3: I feel like July has just been really busy for
Speaker 3: both of us, so hectic, so we're like, where what
Speaker 3: is life and why is it already the end of July?
Speaker 3: Like wasn't it the beginning of July just the other day?
Speaker 2: Where did it go? For real? Though, I'm like still
Speaker 2: trying to regroup, insane.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like these days and weeks have just like blurred, biting,
Speaker 3: it's a blur.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: If I didn't have my Google calendar, I literally would
Speaker 3: be like they'd be like, what'd you do this month?
Speaker 3: And I'd be like, oh, literally, no idea, no idea.
Speaker 3: I probably just like laid in bed and worked and
Speaker 3: that's probably it. But realistically you were like not home.
Speaker 2: But besides like two days.
Speaker 3: But actually, literally I've lived a thousand lives, so I
Speaker 3: just yeah, it's it's been a lot. But yeah, well
Speaker 3: I'm excited to chat with you, I know about life
Speaker 3: updates for real. But yes, before we get into that, wait,
Speaker 3: do we do the one on one first? Wine the
Speaker 3: wine first?
Speaker 2: Okay? So Ellie is taking care of the wine and
Speaker 2: the wine one on one this week.
Speaker 3: Guys, all right, help me, somebody'll please. Okay. So we
Speaker 3: got a cab solve. Did I do that right? Yep?
Speaker 2: Nice?
Speaker 3: So we have that today, and it's called aptitude, and
Speaker 3: let's see it says back here a dark, fruit driven
Speaker 3: quintessential Rutherford cabernet that is lush and pleasing in every sense.
Speaker 3: Black plum aromas are complemented with refined, toasty oak, sweet vanilla,
Speaker 3: and tobacco firm yet balanced tannings tannin's. Okay, you've talked
Speaker 3: about that before complete the journey while leaving oneself satisfied
Speaker 3: and longing for more.
Speaker 2: You did that so seductively. I was sitting over here, like, whoa,
Speaker 2: it's been a lot in here.
Speaker 3: For me.
Speaker 2: A little clink link, clink link. Okay, we're gonna give
Speaker 2: me a tall glass. I'm too scared to swirl. Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I did give you a lot. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Kelsey's get drunk. I even poured today, y'all, And I'm like, whoa,
Speaker 3: I think I gave Kelsey at beautiful, beautiful leggies the
Speaker 3: legs be legging. It smells good. Maybe it's been a
Speaker 3: while since we've drink. I had a lot of I
Speaker 3: thought about that afterwards. I'm like, actually, red.
Speaker 2: Mm yep, it tastes exactly like it smells. That's kind
Speaker 2: of weird that it tastes like literally, yeah, it's very like.
Speaker 3: Bold in the beginning, but like then it it's a
Speaker 3: little bit harsh at the end, which makes me a
Speaker 3: little sad. Here, let me take another, like.
Speaker 2: Hmm, the second like it, but yeah, you're right, it
Speaker 2: does kind of finish a little harsh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the second sip didn't do it any favors though,
Speaker 3: Like I liked it less the second.
Speaker 2: This is one that has for sure be a sip,
Speaker 2: a small one, more sip, oh my fuck no, but
Speaker 2: it needs to be a little bigger sip than that.
Speaker 2: That is literally just bitter. Yeah, why is it getting worse?
Speaker 2: This reminds me of my first story. We're like, oh
Speaker 2: yeah now, and I'm like, whoa.
Speaker 3: It reminds me of like one of those guys that
Speaker 3: you go on a date on like with, and they're
Speaker 3: like they talk a big game. I don't know, yeah yeah,
Speaker 3: and then you're disappointed.
Speaker 2: By the end of the night. Okay, but I do
Speaker 2: have a I do have a thought. Okay, I'm wondering,
Speaker 2: just you know, I'm just trying to help it out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: when you opened it, it was an extra soft cork
Speaker 2: and it broke. I'm wondering if the cork like maybe
Speaker 2: it's a little rancid already too soft.
Speaker 3: We'll have to do a wine one o one regarding
Speaker 3: cork works next week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna be very wrong on that, but that's
Speaker 2: I'm just, you know, I'm just trying to help it Out's.
Speaker 3: A good theory. Let I'm gonna do one more sip.
Speaker 3: I just drink water hopefully this like honestly, because that's
Speaker 3: kind of.
Speaker 2: Like the aftertaste I'm getting is almost like it's a
Speaker 2: bottle that's been open a little too long.
Speaker 3: But but I mean, I hear you, but also like
Speaker 3: it has the the seal over it though too, but
Speaker 3: I guess the seal does also have like two holes
Speaker 3: poked in it all the time, so I think eventually, I.
Speaker 2: Feel it could definitely be worse if it was actually rancid.
Speaker 2: But that's the only reason I'm saying that because that's
Speaker 2: kind of what it tastes like. It's like, you know
Speaker 2: when you have a bottle of red that's like been
Speaker 2: open for like five days, where still drinkable, but it's
Speaker 2: a little harsh. It's not to the vinegary stage yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I kind of what I'm getting. It just
Speaker 3: made me sad because that first sip was good. It
Speaker 3: smells so good. That first sip was smell like the plump. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, this reminds me of one of
Speaker 3: those guys.
Speaker 2: That wondering it says it's got the tobacco. Maybe that's
Speaker 2: the flavor we're not liking because it smells like the plump.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's tasting bitter because maybe.
Speaker 3: Back Maybe Yeah, I'm gonna I gotta I gotta go
Speaker 3: with three on this, Yeah, I gotta go. I like
Speaker 3: I feel like a douche maybe even saying a two five,
Speaker 3: But maybe I'll just it's.
Speaker 2: Hard because like like we said it smells really good,
Speaker 2: and it started okay, but it just kept getting worse.
Speaker 2: Each sip we take it gets worse and worse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the bottles just like classic. It's just like
Speaker 3: a classic bottle. So I mean, yeah, she would be like,
Speaker 3: I hate to do that, but two seven five two
Speaker 3: seven five, this is probably one of the lowest rating.
Speaker 3: That's so sad because it really started so strong that
Speaker 3: and I will say, I want to say it like
Speaker 3: it even leaves like.
Speaker 2: A weird there's a film in my oh my tongue
Speaker 2: almost well, I want to like even just google compare
Speaker 2: to everyone else's notes to it. Well, just the.
Speaker 3: Price on it. Oh, yeah, because I want to say
Speaker 3: it wasn't it was a bit more expensive than the
Speaker 3: wine I bought that we talked about last week, you know. Yeah, shoot,
Speaker 3: I want to say it was around like twenty bucks.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: It was in the mid twenties. I want to say,
Speaker 3: Allied I laid, I think it was like thirteen bucks.
Speaker 2: Well, because I'm googling it too. It looks honestly, just
Speaker 2: depends on where you look, because I'm seeing anywhere from
Speaker 2: twelve ninety nine up to twenty four dollars.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think it was probably on the cheaper side
Speaker 3: because I got it at Costco in Colorado.
Speaker 2: So but I'm looking at reviews too, and it's like
Speaker 2: averaged three point five.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we're not off completely off. We're not off.
Speaker 2: We're just a little less.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, so high.
Speaker 2: Like I said, part of me kind of wants to
Speaker 2: give it another try, like with a different bottle, yeah,
Speaker 2: and see if.
Speaker 3: It was the cork okay or not, or maybe I
Speaker 3: just sucked at opening the wine because I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3: Kelso always opens the wine and today I decided to
Speaker 3: open and then that happened to me, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: apparently I don't know though, Yeah I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, it is what it is. It is what
Speaker 2: it is. We're sorry, Aptitude. We'll still love it. Maybe
Speaker 2: we'll try another one of your wines to give you
Speaker 2: a second chance.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe maybe, but uh, this was I mean, we're
Speaker 3: not gonna love all the wines, right, and we have.
Speaker 2: It almost seems like we're biased because we seriously have
Speaker 2: liked every single one.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we get one other.
Speaker 2: We get so freaking hyped when we've had so many
Speaker 2: that were like fours four and a half.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is just our real hot time.
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: It's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, life is not perfect, especially after this update.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Anyway, what are we talking about today? Maybe your wine
Speaker 2: one on one would have helped the wine probably.
Speaker 3: You know what's so funny is before, I hope after
Speaker 3: I give us a new poor after your wine one
Speaker 3: on one?
Speaker 2: Oh maybe with the aeriator.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can pause and let go and then come
Speaker 3: back or should I talk about it and then we'll pause,
Speaker 3: okay and we'll come back. Okay.
Speaker 2: Perfect.
Speaker 3: So the wine one on one today is about aerators.
Speaker 3: So basically the purpose of an aeriator is to speed
Speaker 3: up a process that would normally take hours. So they
Speaker 3: instantly quote unquote open up wine by exposing it to oxygen,
Speaker 3: enhancing flavors and softening tannins in just seconds. It's like
Speaker 3: giving your wine a quick spot a instead of making
Speaker 3: it sit in its canter all evening. So bonus is
Speaker 3: that some wine lovers say using an aeriator on a
Speaker 3: cheap bottle can make it taste like a much price.
Speaker 3: You're poor, so let's let's give us try let's use
Speaker 3: an aerator on this and see if it changes.
Speaker 2: We can get a little higher.
Speaker 3: Okay, br b, Okay, we are back.
Speaker 2: We gave it a little aeration. Yep, so we're gonna
Speaker 2: actually okay, which again I don't actually Still it still
Speaker 2: smells good. It smells good, smells the same, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't do a whole lot. No, I mean
Speaker 2: it tastes less bad, but it's still not just bitter
Speaker 2: on the like in the fish. Yes, but it's still not.
Speaker 2: I still wouldn't drink it again. No, it's getting damn.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like it gets worse with every sip,
Speaker 3: which makes it even like sadder.
Speaker 2: Like it burns, burns my throat.
Speaker 3: Well, I think we're still keeping that rating, aren't we?
Speaker 2: So sorry? We tried, We really tried rough. Okay, Well,
Speaker 2: you win some, you lose something exactly what you can't
Speaker 2: like everyone we tried, no, which everyone already thinks that
Speaker 2: we're just like we don't give two ships about what
Speaker 2: we're drinking. No, we we care, we do. We just
Speaker 2: happened to be trying a lot of good ones.
Speaker 3: And it's always a win when it's good, and it's
Speaker 3: like a really good price because your girl's on a
Speaker 3: budget exactly, so it's always a win. And so I'm like, oh,
Speaker 3: well that was sad. That's thirteen dollars down the drain.
Speaker 2: You know what. Side note, Yeah, one that like I've
Speaker 2: actually been using as one of my regular like reds
Speaker 2: lately is that Lapis Luna that Crystal brought us. Really
Speaker 2: I think so, I, like I said, when she brought it,
Speaker 2: I told her like I told you guys, I had
Speaker 2: tried the cabernet from Lapis Luna, not my favorite, but
Speaker 2: that red blend is so good AND's so versatile. So
Speaker 2: that's honestly what I buy all the time. Hell un
Speaker 2: less like my favorite like Sandraves or Kyanti's on sale,
Speaker 2: then I'll buy that obviously. But if it's not, then
Speaker 2: I buy the Lapis Luna redland. You know what I
Speaker 2: just thought of?
Speaker 3: And this is the should I say, And I'm always like, Kelsey,
Speaker 3: we need to do this, and then four Kelsey is
Speaker 3: behind the scenes doing all the work. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: but I swear I can help you with this one.
Speaker 3: But we should create like a spreadsheet. And I think
Speaker 3: we're both spreadsheet girls anyways, because we run the whole
Speaker 3: podcast off of a spreadsheet exactly. That's what we do
Speaker 3: behind the scenes. It's all a spreadsheet, but also just
Speaker 3: in our work, I feel like I you we both
Speaker 3: ed spreadsheets all day. So anyway, a spreadsheet where we
Speaker 3: have like columns for like the type of wine like
Speaker 3: cabs off, you know, blend, whatever, whatever, But then all
Speaker 3: the wines that we've drank so far will like list
Speaker 3: them in hierarchy based off like our ratings, and then
Speaker 3: we could do a price column right next to it.
Speaker 3: So then it's kind of like an easy access Like
Speaker 3: I know it's nice for like our followers to just
Speaker 3: go on our ig page and just kind of scroll through,
Speaker 3: but it'd be nice for us and for we could
Speaker 3: share it on our Yeah, we could probably put it
Speaker 3: on link tree. Yeah, and then it could kind of
Speaker 3: be like an easy just like real quick like yes,
Speaker 3: I love that. Wouldn't that be so nice for everybody
Speaker 3: because then, like I think it's fun. I mean, we've
Speaker 3: talked about hosting and stuff, but it would be so
Speaker 3: easy to be like, Okay, I need a red Blend. Yes,
Speaker 3: I need a good rating on it, and like what's
Speaker 3: the price?
Speaker 2: I love it? Let's do it. Let's do it super easy.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, well et on one that's coming out because
Speaker 3: I literally just spitball that out of my house, so.
Speaker 2: So Elsie. But uh yeah, I think that I would
Speaker 2: take like on all of like a couple of minutes
Speaker 2: to create because I still from doing the social media
Speaker 2: part of it. I still have all of that information saved,
Speaker 2: but it should be pretty easy just to transfer it along.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that'd be so like, yeah, like
Speaker 2: nice for everybody to agree too. I agree. I like that,
Speaker 2: And then I can also like maybe another just side
Speaker 2: note column being like Kelsey purchases this one regularly or
Speaker 2: something like that.
Speaker 3: Ye yeah, a little like fun fact tidbits or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 3: let's do it. Let's do it. Okay, Well, we're just
Speaker 3: gonna jump right into freaking life updates, not me having
Speaker 3: to like go to my Google calendar because I'm like,
Speaker 3: what what even happens? What even happened?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Do you want to go first? Should I go first? Totally?
Speaker 2: Like you would think we would talk about this beforehand.
Speaker 2: I know, we just kind of just start talking and
Speaker 2: don't really know what's happening.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we kind of just wing it.
Speaker 2: I don't care to swing it. Here's just probably a
Speaker 2: little more chaotics. You don want me to go first
Speaker 2: to get it over with.
Speaker 3: And then you can die right in not me telling
Speaker 3: kelso like literally for this, I was like, and then
Speaker 3: I cried like all day Thursday and all day Saturday.
Speaker 2: So she literally has lived like ten lives this month.
Speaker 2: I really have, I really have. Okay, yeah, we'll just
Speaker 2: we'll get there. When we get there, I guess, yeah,
Speaker 2: mine's mine's not quite that hectic, so I can go
Speaker 2: first and then you can finish off. Okay, sounds good.
Speaker 3: So my July.
Speaker 2: Started with my annual Fourth of July party. Will and
Speaker 2: I kind of got roped into this thing. Now it's
Speaker 2: just an I love that. It's such a tradition.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 2: It's so much fun and it's like the most like
Speaker 2: white trash freaking party. Like we have bullet pools. Some
Speaker 2: times we'll put out like a water slide. I think
Speaker 2: that's so like, and it's anybody can come, whatever type
Speaker 2: of thing, family, kids, dogs, like you'll have well have
Speaker 2: like trillion dogs.
Speaker 3: And just gorillas exactly for real.
Speaker 2: Basically feels like that. But I always just have like
Speaker 2: everyone like like I'll provide sides and snacks and stuff
Speaker 2: like that, but everyone kind of just byobs brings something
Speaker 2: to put on the grill and then like basically admission
Speaker 2: is a firework, like a decent firework because you can,
Speaker 2: like we can light them off in my neighborhood and
Speaker 2: they're like, you know, they're not cheap. So Will I
Speaker 2: can't be from that the whole the whole shipbang right,
Speaker 2: but we'll get like I don't know, it depends on
Speaker 2: the year, but like twenty to thirty people, including like
Speaker 2: little kids and stuff like that. So it's a lot
Speaker 2: of fun. But yeah, it's like it's kind of just
Speaker 2: the thing. Now, Yeah, how was it? It was a
Speaker 2: lot of fun, It really was. I think this was
Speaker 2: probably one of my favorite. However, we did end up
Speaker 2: having some drama with one of one of Will's friends
Speaker 2: at the end of it. He just got a little
Speaker 2: a little too drunk and started like yelling at everybody.
Speaker 2: He kept losing his phone, but he kept blaming it
Speaker 2: on everybody else and then getting mad at everybody else,
Speaker 2: even though he would literally just be in his chair
Speaker 2: shut up, but he would be throwing an absolute fit,
Speaker 2: like did he think that somebody like took it and
Speaker 2: I have literally no idea. He just starts screaming because
Speaker 2: he couldn't find his phone and like blamed on everybody else,
Speaker 2: even that it was him. Did he realize his actions
Speaker 2: the next day and apologized like, I'm so confusing? Not really,
Speaker 2: he was too drunk. He claims he doesn't remember what happened.
Speaker 2: Does he usually get like this, I'm so he doesn't. Really,
Speaker 2: He's he's not a huge drinker. He's he gets high
Speaker 2: a lot. He doesn't drink that much, so when he does,
Speaker 2: it gets kind of chaotic.
Speaker 3: Are we giving him a pass then because he doesn't
Speaker 3: drink that much? Or are we kind of like because
Speaker 3: we're grown already he needs.
Speaker 2: To give for sure, me and a couple of my
Speaker 2: friends pretty big apology because he was an absolute ass
Speaker 2: Oh so yeah.
Speaker 3: Did anybody call him out on a ship? Like?
Speaker 2: Oh? Both I did and Hillary also we both got
Speaker 2: in his face because he was being an absolute dickhead?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, good good for you guys for like standing
Speaker 3: your ground.
Speaker 2: Like we obviously knew he was littly titty, but it
Speaker 2: was like, but also, does it doesn't give you a
Speaker 2: pass to be an asshole?
Speaker 3: Did he like say the rest of the night. Then like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're too nice.
Speaker 2: I will get the fun. Will's other friends and ship
Speaker 2: just thought it was funny because you're like, well, that's
Speaker 2: just how A use other people. So that's why he's enabled. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's definitely enabled. Yeah whatever. Besides that, it was a
Speaker 2: great site.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's always there's always something in the mix. I
Speaker 3: feel like when when you have like a large gathering
Speaker 3: with a Alco hall, like it kind of you never
Speaker 3: know what's gonna you just never know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: So but besides that, it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We had a little bit of a rough day the
Speaker 2: next day, just like hangover wise.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my gosh. Yeah, but it was fine.
Speaker 2: It was fine. And then the next weekend, Will and
Speaker 2: I we were gonna just go up to Bear Lake.
Speaker 2: It's on the border of Utah and Idaho for anyone
Speaker 2: that doesn't know, We're just gonna go up for the
Speaker 2: day on Saturday. And then Will was talking to his
Speaker 2: boss who's also his buddy, just telling him, yeah, we're
Speaker 2: gonna goup for the day, YadA YadA, yadda, and his
Speaker 2: buddy was like, well, we're not using our place this weekend.
Speaker 2: Do you guys want to use it? We're like yeah,
Speaker 2: So we ended up like literally with at like four
Speaker 2: pm on Friday, We're like, let's well hurry unpack and
Speaker 2: get her asses up there. So we did that and
Speaker 2: then stayed the night. We went and had some food
Speaker 2: in town. The next day, played at the beach the
Speaker 2: whole day, got coold crissy, so fun. And then we
Speaker 2: were going to drive home after the bee because I
Speaker 2: had book club the next morning. And then he had
Speaker 2: also had a tea time during book club because he's like, well,
Speaker 2: what am I going to do while you're at book
Speaker 2: club whatever? You know. Yeah, but we're like, let's just
Speaker 2: stay one more night and leave early in the morning.
Speaker 2: So that's what we did. We ended up just staying
Speaker 2: one more night, and I'm glad we did. It was
Speaker 2: such a good night. And then yeah, leaving early next morning,
Speaker 2: got home in time to hurry and shower and get
Speaker 2: my ass to book club.
Speaker 3: All good for you for still going to book club.
Speaker 3: I would have been maybe tempted to be.
Speaker 2: Like I was so tempted, but I was also like, no,
Speaker 2: like the whole point of leaving early so I can
Speaker 2: still make it exactly that I'm the one that chose
Speaker 2: to spend one more night.
Speaker 3: Well that and like I feel like you still have
Speaker 3: like your whole day too, even after like I don't know,
Speaker 3: I sometimes like coming back home from somewhere like early
Speaker 3: on a Saturday Sunday, so then you still kind of
Speaker 3: feel like you're home hanging out before the workday on
Speaker 3: my day.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we still had time to like after I
Speaker 2: ran to book club and he went to his tea,
Speaker 2: time still had time to get home and do more
Speaker 2: laundry and just chill for the rest of the evening.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it wasn't like an inconvenience or thing. But
Speaker 2: that sounds so fun though weekend, I know, and it
Speaker 2: was like so spurred the moment and everything and so fun.
Speaker 2: Did you guys take your paddle boards up there? Yeah,
Speaker 2: we took We took our paddle boards. We only inflated
Speaker 2: Will's just because I didn't want to worry about both.
Speaker 2: We did take Sophie. She's not a huge fan of
Speaker 2: the water. That was the other reason why we didn't
Speaker 2: inflate the second board. She also we discovered she doesn't
Speaker 2: mind being on a board with me. We I've already
Speaker 2: known that she's not like being on the board with Will's. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if I'm not with her, she freaks out. So we
Speaker 2: kind of just took turns, like he'd go out on
Speaker 2: the paddle board and I'd still on the beach with Sof,
Speaker 2: and then I'd go out and just float on a tube.
Speaker 2: And then he hung out with Sof, but I couldn't
Speaker 2: go very far because Sophie would start freaking out. But yeah,
Speaker 2: we had cooked hot dogs in the beach and it
Speaker 2: was nice.
Speaker 3: Oh that's so fun.
Speaker 2: Was it like crazy busy barely has gotten so bad. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and right now there's like the water is so high,
Speaker 2: which is good, but there's like no beach, you're on rocks.
Speaker 2: It's just the funnest either it hurts. Yeah, yeah that
Speaker 2: makes sense, but that's fine. We still, like I said,
Speaker 2: it was still really fun and.
Speaker 3: It's just pretty and the water is so nice.
Speaker 2: So yes, so nice. I'm glad you had that. It
Speaker 2: was nice. We needed I feel like we needed it
Speaker 2: because he's been gone so much, you know, all of
Speaker 2: you listening, compared to my June update where he was
Speaker 2: basically gone all of June, so excuse me.
Speaker 3: It was like yeah, yeah, I'm sure this was like
Speaker 3: a good It was nice and much needed.
Speaker 2: It was even though it was a getaway and we
Speaker 2: could have just spent the weekend at home, it was
Speaker 2: still relaxing. Like I came home refreshed from it, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was nice to have some quality time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, cute, that sounds like.
Speaker 2: But then the next weekend he was gone again, which
Speaker 2: was fine, but luckily it was his last trip for
Speaker 2: a while. But while he was gone, I had a
Speaker 2: little girl's night, had some friends go o where we
Speaker 2: hung out with the patio, dranks some drinks, and had
Speaker 2: some Taboo pizza, my favorite.
Speaker 3: Oh so good? Have you eaten down there on the
Speaker 3: Washington one? Still so busy but it's Yeah, where did
Speaker 3: you pick up from?
Speaker 2: Or did you guys eat at Taboo Pizza? No? We
Speaker 2: picked up, but I was doing to go by the
Speaker 2: Ogden High Okay, because you can get different size pizzas.
Speaker 2: The one on Taboo is just the one, yeah, the
Speaker 2: Washington location. It's just it's just the personal pizza. Yeah,
Speaker 2: isn't it so good? It's my favorite? I have? So
Speaker 2: the to go one opened, like I want to say,
Speaker 2: it opened like right before COVID maybe but yeah, I
Speaker 2: got we got like flyers on our doors because we're
Speaker 2: kind of in that neighborhood m hm, and so we're like, oh,
Speaker 2: let's go try it whatever. So freaking good.
Speaker 3: I love their what it's a freaking called it's it's
Speaker 3: their cheesy boy. But it's the one with Halopenos. Is
Speaker 3: it naughty Boy?
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't remember. I don't. Oh. I also think
Speaker 2: that they have literally the best Margarita pizza their Sinatra.
Speaker 2: Oh I've never liked Margarita pizza. It is to die for.
Speaker 3: Okay, now I want pizza.
Speaker 2: I know, gosh damn it. Pizza was so good Stable
Speaker 2: Anyhao Tabo you want spots just kidding, Taboo, we love
Speaker 2: you Ian tag them in this when it goes live.
Speaker 2: Please it is so good. It's so good. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, and then random fun fact as I remember when
Speaker 3: they opened up their Washington location, like that first week,
Speaker 3: I'm like, I like getting out of the house and working,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I want to go try out
Speaker 3: the Taboo here, and so anyway, we figured out wi
Speaker 3: fi there just because I need to have like a
Speaker 3: secure login whatever whatever, But yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Worked, and I ate pizza such a vibe. I got
Speaker 2: like a beer and I got my cheesy boy whatever.
Speaker 2: I love it. It was a vibe. Oh thank you,
Speaker 2: shout out too. I guess we need to have a
Speaker 2: girl's night and go get some taboo.
Speaker 3: Let's do it. Okay, let's see it.
Speaker 2: And then that Saturday I went to the rodeo with
Speaker 2: my friend Alexa. I love that.
Speaker 3: You love the rodeos.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of just like it's a it's it
Speaker 2: is a lot of fun. But so in Utah we
Speaker 2: have Pioneer Days. Oh yeah, and the Ogden Pioneer Day
Speaker 2: rodeo is every year from the nineteenth of July to
Speaker 2: the twenty fourth of July, and my friend Alexa and
Speaker 2: I have gone every single year since we were like
Speaker 2: able to drive. This is really sixteen because my dad
Speaker 2: gets us like sponsorship tickets and stuff because his company sponsors. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we've gone every single year since we were like sixteen,
Speaker 2: besides the couple of years she lived in Ireland. So
Speaker 2: it's just like a tradition. We go every year. We
Speaker 2: can't not you know, same thing every year, but it's
Speaker 2: so much fun. We have a we have a good time.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll go one day.
Speaker 2: I just am not a big. Honestly, am not like
Speaker 2: it's not my thing. It's just fun because it's like tradition.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but we also get it for tradition.
Speaker 2: We also get it for free. Yeah. I think it'd
Speaker 2: be different if like we were paying for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: So and if my dad's working a booth and we
Speaker 2: also get free beers, so yeah, the whole things free.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, that's amazing thing. That's great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the drinks hell yeah yeah. But uh yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I've only been there like a handful
Speaker 2: of times. But yeah, well maybe next year you can
Speaker 2: come with it. We do have fun, Okay, it does.
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like with a good crowd,
Speaker 3: like with the good just need like company. I think
Speaker 3: it'll be a vibe, you know, and who knows, maybe
Speaker 3: some of the guys right in the I there are
Speaker 3: some good looking cowboys you know, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2: Noted, noted?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, so then last weekend, well on the
Speaker 2: twenty fourth, since that was Utah's actual holiday, I took
Speaker 2: the day off because we don't get it off we're
Speaker 2: a national company. But I took it off and Will
Speaker 2: and I went golfing with two of our friends, and
Speaker 2: it's a lot of fun because I've never golfed with
Speaker 2: this couple before, even though we hang out with them
Speaker 2: all the time. But she's like a similar level to me.
Speaker 2: And then the boys are the same amazing golfers. But
Speaker 2: it was fun to go with someone that's like a
Speaker 2: similar level because I golf with Will and his friends
Speaker 2: all the time, but it's never with another woman, first
Speaker 2: of all, but also someone that's my level because Will
Speaker 2: and all his guy friends are like stupid good at it,
Speaker 2: and it's they're very patient, but it's very intimidating. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I hear you. So I really played probably the best
Speaker 2: round of golf I've ever played because we were like
Speaker 2: giving each other so much confidence. It's like if she
Speaker 2: hit and it was a good hit, and I'd be like,
Speaker 2: oh you know, monkey see, monkey do, is what we
Speaker 2: kept saying. It was true, but like, yeah, I did
Speaker 2: really well, Like I hit all my drives solid. The
Speaker 2: only thing I need to work on is chipping, but
Speaker 2: my putts were good and my drives were good, So yeah,
Speaker 2: I felt really good about it. It was so much fun.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. And then the next day we left
Speaker 2: for McCall Idaho to go to my cousin's wedding. That
Speaker 2: looks so pretty and so pretty. If you've never been
Speaker 2: to McCall, it really is such a fun little town.
Speaker 2: The lake is Piot Lake, but the town's called McCall.
Speaker 2: How close is that to Sun Valley? Do you know,
Speaker 2: like freaking four hours? Oh okay, so it's six hours. No,
Speaker 2: it's seven hours from here from Ogden to McCall.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's a dry and then but like just because.
Speaker 2: Of the different sides of the state, McCall to Sun
Speaker 2: Valleys like almost four hours because we looked it up.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, okay, because I was curious too.
Speaker 2: Oh that's funny.
Speaker 3: I just have a girls shrip there next month.
Speaker 2: Someone I love. I love Sun Valley. I've never been.
Speaker 3: It's so long.
Speaker 2: They have such fun like breweries and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: There's all some really cool thrift stores. Funny anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, okay, I heard it's the park city of like Idaho.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like this is this is a tangent because
Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with anything. But when I
Speaker 2: was in Sun Valley last time, we went into one
Speaker 2: of a thrift's stores and there was this like seventies
Speaker 2: vintage product skirt and I'm like, oh my gosh, I
Speaker 2: am dying. And so the guy was like that runs
Speaker 2: the store. He's like he's like I have been sitting
Speaker 2: on this for a while. Now He's like, if it
Speaker 2: fits you, you can have fifty bucks. It fit me,
Speaker 2: So now I have a seventies Viches broad a skirt
Speaker 2: that I got for fifty bucks. No shit, you never
Speaker 2: told me that it's pretty sick. I was like, Wade
Speaker 2: and stuff. I'll have to take a picture. It's super fay.
Speaker 2: Do you love it? I do. I don't wear very
Speaker 2: often because it's kind of hard to style, okay, but
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna get rid of it.
Speaker 3: And now I need to see a picture because now
Speaker 3: I'm like inspired to be like, well this is how
Speaker 3: you can style it.
Speaker 2: I know, not that I have I find like the
Speaker 2: right top because like you don't want anything crazy for
Speaker 2: with it. But it's like such a weird like an
Speaker 2: odd colored beige. It's not even beige. I don't even
Speaker 2: know what it is. But it's just a really hard
Speaker 2: thing to find a top the match just like white
Speaker 2: is too stark, can or black, and then trying to
Speaker 2: even kind of like find another type of brown that
Speaker 2: it's like it's it's hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll have to see it. I'm soy.
Speaker 2: The thing would be like a cream top. But then again,
Speaker 2: you don't wantnything too fancy because then it takes away
Speaker 2: from the skirt. But it can't be too casual either
Speaker 2: because the skirt's too fancy, like it's hard. Well, what
Speaker 2: if you do just another color like m because this
Speaker 2: has like two different types of like weird brown. One
Speaker 2: of them is kind of like a greenish brown, and
Speaker 2: then there's orange. But if you match the orange, it's
Speaker 2: too much. What if you do like that too?
Speaker 3: What if you do a dark brown?
Speaker 2: It would clash? Like it's it's a hard skirt.
Speaker 3: I want to see a picture of it now. I'm
Speaker 3: so curious. It's almost like a challenge.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, it really is, Like literally the best
Speaker 2: thing I've found to go with it is cream.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm excited now to see this post it
Speaker 3: on the IG story too.
Speaker 2: You guys can help me find so, I know, I
Speaker 2: actually do. I don't even own cream, so I need
Speaker 2: to find a cream top or two. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Cream is hard to find though, Well.
Speaker 2: It's also just hard to find a cream that like
Speaker 2: doesn't make me look pasty. It's just not really my color.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the other challenge, the freaking color matches.
Speaker 3: Have you ever done those? Yeah? Oh my hell yeah.
Speaker 3: I had chatchey t do it for me and I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, that's me, and then I send it
Speaker 3: to all my girlfriends and then they did it too,
Speaker 3: and then they all got the same results. But we're
Speaker 3: all like starkly different, and I'm like, what the fuck
Speaker 3: that's so weird. I'm like, then then this isn't right
Speaker 3: and we're all the same color.
Speaker 2: Like, how'd you do it?
Speaker 3: You got to take like a selfie, no makeup, natural light,
Speaker 3: hair pulled back, and then you upload it to chat
Speaker 3: shept and you say, hey, can you do a color
Speaker 3: match on my face? Oh?
Speaker 2: I'm like, based on my I did. Well, I've done
Speaker 2: a professional one, but it wasn't when I was in
Speaker 2: middle school. Oh do you think it's still legit? Maybe
Speaker 2: I think it's still the same, but I still And
Speaker 2: I say that because I also did mine through chat GPT,
Speaker 2: but instead of uploading a photo, what I did was
Speaker 2: I took a three like the way it had me
Speaker 2: do it was I did three swatches on my skin
Speaker 2: in different lighting, and then I did a swatch of
Speaker 2: two swatches of my eyes in different lighting, and then
Speaker 2: a swatch of my hair, two swatches of my hair
Speaker 2: in different lighting.
Speaker 3: And what do you mean by swatches?
Speaker 2: Like, so, yeah, you have your selfie, but then in
Speaker 2: like paint, the paint app you go through and do
Speaker 2: like the color drop m and it had me do
Speaker 2: my forehead, my cheeks, and then my chin That's why
Speaker 2: three and then the eyeballs. It wanted like dark lighting
Speaker 2: and then natural lighting. And same with the hair, it
Speaker 2: wanted dark like this lighting and then natural lighting. And
Speaker 2: so instead of being a picture of me, it was
Speaker 2: like the color swatches interesting and it came the same
Speaker 2: as when I had it professionally in middle school. So
Speaker 2: I'm an autumn. I'm a true autumn to a warm Yeah,
Speaker 2: to a warm autumn.
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe I need to do that then, yeah, because
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, why did it give us all the
Speaker 3: same thing. Yeah, that's weird, weird, weird. Anyway, that was
Speaker 3: super random. We're talking about McCall.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, we're the worst. Well, I love our tangents anyway,
Speaker 2: So yeah, we went to McCall, Idaho, and we started
Speaker 2: like when we got up there, it's freaking yes, seven
Speaker 2: hour drive, got up there, just some time for dinner.
Speaker 2: But we had a bunch of like family in town
Speaker 2: that we haven't seen in a while, so we all
Speaker 2: went to besides like the bride and her family, like
Speaker 2: Man's and uncle's there. They didn't come obviously, said they
Speaker 2: rehearsal dinner, but the rest of us all met at
Speaker 2: like the saloon for dinner and it was a lot
Speaker 2: of fun nic seeing everybody. After dinner, me, Will, my
Speaker 2: cousin Katie, and then my aunt Cindy, Katie's mom. Wait,
Speaker 2: decided we're gonna do freaking pub crawl out of nowhere.
Speaker 2: There's only three more bars besides, so when we were
Speaker 2: at so we walked to three more bars, had to
Speaker 2: drink at each one. It was a great old time.
Speaker 2: We had so much fun. Definitely got got pretty but
Speaker 2: it's okay. And then the next day, Saturday, was the
Speaker 2: wedding day, but obviously, you know, we still have most
Speaker 2: of the day, so we went to town, kind of
Speaker 2: looked around, had some lunch, and then Will and I
Speaker 2: came back early because we were so tired to try
Speaker 2: and just like not even nap because I can't really nap,
Speaker 2: but like just to kind of sit like chill, Yeah,
Speaker 2: just to relax, be with the dogs because with Courtney
Speaker 2: and I brought our dogs, so we wanted to hang
Speaker 2: out with them for a minute. They were gonna be
Speaker 2: home alone for a while with the wedding. And then yeah,
Speaker 2: then we got ready for the wedding, which was so pretty.
Speaker 2: It was on my cousin, my cousin's family, her dad's side.
Speaker 2: The family has property up there, so it was on
Speaker 2: their private beach. It was stunning. It was so pretty,
Speaker 2: and yeah, we danced the night away. Will's always a
Speaker 2: really good wedding date because he loves to just go
Speaker 2: out there and be a goofball and the dance floor.
Speaker 2: Literally after dinner, when the dancing started, He's like, Okay, well,
Speaker 2: do you want to go embarrass ourselves now? And I'm like, yep,
Speaker 2: yes I do. That is the best. And then it
Speaker 2: was kind of magical because like toward the end, like
Speaker 2: there was only like a couple songs left, like maybe
Speaker 2: like a half hour left before we had to leave,
Speaker 2: and it started raining. But it was like it was
Speaker 2: the end. So it's almost like it was so magical,
Speaker 2: like even the brides out there and her like like
Speaker 2: her reception outfit and like she's having a great all
Speaker 2: time dancing in the rain like the girls like it
Speaker 2: was just so much fun. And then we all loaded
Speaker 2: on the on the shuttle because there's a shot we
Speaker 2: had to take a shuttle. We all loaded on the
Speaker 2: shuttle looking like drowned rats. Oh god, it was a
Speaker 2: great night. Great. Wait did you kiss in the rain
Speaker 2: a little bit? It wasn't like it wasn't like what
Speaker 2: I want on my like the bucket list that it's not.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like a romantical like pouring rain kiss because
Speaker 2: it also felt kind of weird doing it in front
Speaker 2: of all of my extended family. Well, and it was
Speaker 2: probably maybe just like a drizzle maybe like it wasn't pouring. Okay,
Speaker 2: so so I mean baby tips, baby steps. It was
Speaker 2: still something. It was still something cute. But yes, that
Speaker 2: was fun. And then Sunday we just spent at the beach,
Speaker 2: well kind of on the lawn right next to the
Speaker 2: beach because the dogs can't go on the sand. Wait why,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Just their rule. So we just had
Speaker 2: our chairs plopped on the grass, which was probably better
Speaker 2: for the dogs anyway. They like that more. But like,
Speaker 2: how do you tell a dog not to get on
Speaker 2: the sand? Oh, they have to be leashed, so they
Speaker 2: can't go on unless you let them. Oh the public
Speaker 2: beach and a lot of public beaches require leashes. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: So we had them like chained, you know, those like
Speaker 2: screw chains into the ground. Yeah, so we just had
Speaker 2: them on those. But they were fine. They kind of
Speaker 2: laid there.
Speaker 3: Do you think it's because like they don't want the
Speaker 3: dogs to shit on the sand. I'm confused.
Speaker 2: I don't really know. Maybe that and I don't I
Speaker 2: don't know, because Bear likes the same way too. For
Speaker 2: EF we're going to like one of their like paid beaches,
Speaker 2: you can't have dogs, So I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's interesting.
Speaker 2: Maybe it could just because they don't want the waste
Speaker 2: in case someone accidentally forgets to pick it up and
Speaker 2: then someone steps in it in the sand, because it
Speaker 2: would get buried in the sand versus on grass, right,
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I don't really know, to be
Speaker 2: honest with you. But it was fine, And then half
Speaker 2: our family went home Sunday, but we stayed till Monday,
Speaker 2: so we just cooked burgers back at our place. The
Speaker 2: family that was still in town came over, and yeah,
Speaker 2: we just hosted everyone for burgers and some wine. Had
Speaker 2: another fun night, and then yeah, did the seven hour
Speaker 2: trek the next day. Oh my gosh, got home. What
Speaker 2: time did you leave?
Speaker 3: Like ten thirty in the morning. Yeah, So got home
Speaker 3: a long day.
Speaker 2: I know, I was in so much pain because I
Speaker 2: can't like my I have a bad back singing car
Speaker 2: for that long. It's not fun time. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so yeah, but it was fine. We got home in
Speaker 2: time for dinner. I don't even know what we freaking
Speaker 2: did for dinner. Oh I didn't eat because we had
Speaker 2: had taco bell for lunch and I was like ugh
Speaker 2: for it. Yeah, so I didn't have anything for dinner.
Speaker 2: But yeah, and then I just took yesterday off to recoop.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel like you always need a vacation from
Speaker 3: your vacation.
Speaker 2: I should have taken today off tudo, to be honest, because,
Speaker 2: like I was telling you earlier, like I haven't had
Speaker 2: enough time to catch up on sleep. Oh yeah, because yesterday,
Speaker 2: while I regrouped, I can't sleep in I'm not asleep.
Speaker 2: I can't do that. Yeah, So I couldn't catch up
Speaker 2: on sleep that way, and so I tried a nap,
Speaker 2: but then SOF just was annoying when I was trying
Speaker 2: to nap, So I ended up just like I was
Speaker 2: doing laundry cleaning, like all the other random crap that
Speaker 2: has to be down that we didn't do. And then
Speaker 2: hung out with Will till way too late last night
Speaker 2: because he wanted to hang out until he had to
Speaker 2: leave for to pick up his front from the airport.
Speaker 2: And then waking up this morning was so hard. It
Speaker 2: sounds rough.
Speaker 3: It was rough.
Speaker 2: So I should have taken one more day, and I
Speaker 2: really wish I would have, but oh, well, what do
Speaker 2: you do?
Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully this weekend is chill for you where you
Speaker 3: can like recoop.
Speaker 2: We don't have anything planned, okay.
Speaker 3: Go And I'm like I told well, I'm like, this
Speaker 3: is what you need, is like a no plan weekend
Speaker 3: where you just like fucking chill all weekend at home. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure we'll go do something, but nothing
Speaker 2: like a big plan because we can't just like bum it.
Speaker 3: Really, he can't bum it for the weekend.
Speaker 2: Not really. Oh, I love a good boy too. He
Speaker 2: just feels like antsy. Really he can't like and it
Speaker 2: drives me insane. He can't he can't just relast for
Speaker 2: a couple of days. Yeah, he has to do something.
Speaker 2: I yeah, And I mean like I don't like obviously,
Speaker 2: Like I'm like, I don't want to sit on the
Speaker 2: couch for forty eight hours, but like we can go
Speaker 2: on a walk or like even grab food or something,
Speaker 2: but like I just don't want. Yeah, I don't want
Speaker 2: a late night of drinking. I don't want this or
Speaker 2: that or whatever, you know. So it's like, yeah, like
Speaker 2: even if we went golfing, that's different, like but not
Speaker 2: like I just yeah, I don't want. You don't want
Speaker 2: like I've had. I've had a bunch of back to
Speaker 2: back weekends of like even if it was at my house,
Speaker 2: it was still late night of drinking and I'm like,
Speaker 2: I just don't don't want it. I want to go
Speaker 2: to bed early, yeah, and I want to wake up
Speaker 2: when I want to wake up. Yeah, that's all I
Speaker 2: want this weekend. That's not too much to ask for,
Speaker 2: damn it. I think he would honestly probably be in
Speaker 2: the same boat though, because he's been like he's been
Speaker 2: gone a lot. So yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 3: That was a fun filled July.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you did like a lot of outdoorsy
Speaker 3: like you know, bear Lake and then the call like
Speaker 3: just like a lot of water stuff. I think that's
Speaker 3: so ideal.
Speaker 2: Summer like like prime summer time, you know, quintessential summer summer,
Speaker 2: summer summer time. However, now I'm ready for fall. Oh
Speaker 2: I'm so fucking over summer. Oh for sure.
Speaker 3: I want once you got summer, let's fucking go.
Speaker 2: Be able to wear sweater. Yeah. I want to be cool.
Speaker 2: I want I want to be able to sit inside
Speaker 2: with like a tea and my books.
Speaker 3: I want a sweater. Yes, I want the brisk air
Speaker 3: when I open the door. I want the leaves to
Speaker 3: crunch underneath my feet. And I want pumpkin spice latte
Speaker 3: injected through an ivy.
Speaker 2: Is that too much to ask you? I never gotten too,
Speaker 2: the pumpkin spicy. I can't do it, but I love
Speaker 2: like apple. It's like cider or like freaking Starbucks does
Speaker 2: an apple coffee and it sounds disgusting, but it is
Speaker 2: so f I've never had it. I've never had it.
Speaker 3: I'll have to try it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so freaking I literally will.
Speaker 3: Pound pumpkin spice like the day they announced, like okay,
Speaker 3: we're now, which is probably in like two weeks, probably
Speaker 3: because I literally I know it's such a limited time
Speaker 3: thing that I like run, yeah, push people out of
Speaker 3: the way.
Speaker 2: That's what I know. And now that I discovered this,
Speaker 2: like Apple Crisp, latte, whatever, it is the same way. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and follows just my favorite season. I'm such a Fall girly.
Speaker 2: I'm such a Fall girl. And Halloween, yes, but then
Speaker 2: it get vibes.
Speaker 3: It gets cut off too soon by winter though, and
Speaker 3: it makes me so sad. Yeah, I'm like, Winter, can
Speaker 3: you fucking chill? Yeah, Like I don't mind winter now
Speaker 3: that I ski, but I still just Fall.
Speaker 2: Yes, it just I feel like it.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's that girl who tries to take
Speaker 3: the spotlight away from the girl, and I'm like, Winter,
Speaker 3: you will have your time, yeah, but Fall needs to.
Speaker 2: Shine, I know, you know. Yeah, I could have Fall
Speaker 2: for like six months. Oh and it'd be happy, like
Speaker 2: like October fall, early October fall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like my dream would be like long fall, long spring,
Speaker 3: a little bit of summer. Yeah, and maybe like a
Speaker 3: week or two of winter during like Christmas time, but
Speaker 3: that's just because I don't scare snowboard and I know
Speaker 3: a lot of other people would be like the fuck
Speaker 3: is wrong with you?
Speaker 2: But that's my ideal. Mine would be like, yeah, fall
Speaker 2: and then like spring and winter can like split a
Speaker 2: little bit more time, and then maybe just like one
Speaker 2: month of summer. Yeah. I love summer, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 2: but not to I hate the heat. Yes, and you
Speaker 2: can still do summer activities when it's like early fall
Speaker 2: and late spring. Yeah, totally. I agree, where you're not
Speaker 2: fucking that's like eighty degrees versus one hundred degrees.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, I agree. I agree.
Speaker 2: Let's go fucking full. I know, well, we just wanted
Speaker 2: a whole another dance, but that was a whole nother tangent.
Speaker 3: I feel like we haven't seen each other forever. I know.
Speaker 2: It be our longest life update ever. I love I
Speaker 2: keep forgetting we're even doing a podcast right now. We're
Speaker 2: just gabbing for real. Well.
Speaker 3: I love that we were like, hey, yeah, Kelso go first,
Speaker 3: because like, Elie's lived a million lives this month and
Speaker 3: apparently I did too. It's like I'm looking at the
Speaker 3: time and I'm like, yeah, we've been on here for
Speaker 3: forty three minutes now, which is totally fine.
Speaker 2: I feel like it is what it is. We had
Speaker 2: a busy month.
Speaker 3: We had a busy month, damn it.
Speaker 2: Next month might be only a twenty minute life up there.
Speaker 2: You know it might be short.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I feel like maybe like you're included in
Speaker 3: this too, But I feel like we've lived so much
Speaker 3: much in July that our August life update's gonna be
Speaker 3: like yeah, and then we like, I just chilled. I
Speaker 3: just watched the movie and I finished this book and anyway,
Speaker 3: so well to see you guys next week, you know exactly.
Speaker 3: I feel like we had to live a lot to
Speaker 3: just fucking chill this next month.
Speaker 2: I agree. So anyway, all least turn oh, load and loaded.
Speaker 3: You know what's so funny is uh there was I
Speaker 3: knew we were doing a life update. Whoa kelso just
Speaker 3: tried the wine again and her face I kind of
Speaker 3: just forgot that it was bad. Like, do you want
Speaker 3: to go get another drink? Like from the fridge?
Speaker 2: Should I? No, you're good, you just talk.
Speaker 3: I'll be bad, guys, Okay, sounds good. It's gonna be
Speaker 3: weird me talking about well, I guess I'm not. I mean,
Speaker 3: I guess people are actually listening to this when it's
Speaker 3: out into the world. But no. Yeah, I was actually
Speaker 3: talking to Kelso before we started recording, and I was
Speaker 3: just like, I just yeah, there was a lot that
Speaker 3: I was gonna leave out because it's just been such whoa,
Speaker 3: Kelso's back hi and she's just staring at the wall. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm just like staring at the wall, like talking to
Speaker 3: the wall, and I'm like, so anyway, but there was
Speaker 3: just kind of a lot that I was gonna leave
Speaker 3: out ish, just because it was kind of like still
Speaker 3: too raw, and like, I don't know, so I think
Speaker 3: whatever just flows into this microphone is what will flow
Speaker 3: into this microphone. I'm just usually very just a regular
Speaker 3: I'm over here. Yeah, well, and I'm super like unedited.
Speaker 3: I feel like like I will just say what I
Speaker 3: need to say and so we'll just kind of see
Speaker 3: how it goes. But I did tell Kelso I was
Speaker 3: going to open up about something and we'll just kind
Speaker 3: of just see how it goes from there.
Speaker 2: But AnyWho, and I whoa, Yeah, I'll just get into it.
Speaker 2: I'll just it's just so much but Tea.
Speaker 3: Honestly, though, July was such a fun month, but also
Speaker 3: it was it was probably one of the most fun
Speaker 3: Julys I've had that I can think of, but it
Speaker 3: was one of the worst ones as well. Like I've
Speaker 3: had a roller coaster. Yes it's been like severe far
Speaker 3: this way and severe far that way.
Speaker 2: Like it's just a lot.
Speaker 3: But anyway, I honestly, I was looking at my calendar
Speaker 3: today actually, and I've only been home for like maybe
Speaker 3: a week and a half total for the month of July,
Speaker 3: Like I've just not been home. So I started the
Speaker 3: month out in Denver, Colorado, and I stayed we actually
Speaker 3: extended our trip like another couple of days, so we
Speaker 3: were there for almost two weeks, like shy of two weeks.
Speaker 3: And it was me and my friend Cameron, and we
Speaker 3: actually just went to go like just hang out in
Speaker 3: Denver and house it and just like we both work remotely,
Speaker 3: so we were just kind of hanging out working during
Speaker 3: the day, like going out.
Speaker 2: To the bar at night.
Speaker 3: Not every night, but just like you know, vib just
Speaker 3: vibin like you're in a different city. Honestly, you guys
Speaker 3: have you guys work remotely and you have an and
Speaker 3: if you want to travel and you want to do
Speaker 3: it at an affordable like price, you should totally check
Speaker 3: out Trusted house Sitters. I've talked about it before, but anyhow,
Speaker 3: it's just great, Like you get to hang out with
Speaker 3: pets and like make sure they're taking care of while
Speaker 3: their owners are away. But then you also have to
Speaker 3: you have a free place to stay, so it's just
Speaker 3: like a win win, you know. And some of the
Speaker 3: houses are really nice and it's just super chill.
Speaker 2: Yeah, You've done a lot of tours of those houses
Speaker 2: and they're stunning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's really cool. Anyway, So we did that
Speaker 3: and Denver was just fun. Denver was just a good time.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's there's there's maybe some things I still
Speaker 3: like I'm trying to process and maybe eventually I'll, like say,
Speaker 3: in the field.
Speaker 2: I think we'll get there when you get there. Well,
Speaker 2: and I think we.
Speaker 3: Talked about this a couple like months ago. How Like
Speaker 3: sometimes when you're in the middle of something, you're just like, uh,
Speaker 3: it's so hard to like hard to articulate it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So anyway, but all that to say though, is like
Speaker 3: Denver was a bit of a disappointment, but also like
Speaker 3: really really fun and it was nice to get out
Speaker 3: of town and just like hang out with a friend
Speaker 3: in a different setting and a different and it was
Speaker 3: just a freaking vibea. Anyway, So I did that, Like
Speaker 3: the first half of July was just like in Denver,
Speaker 3: and then it was crazy because I got back in
Speaker 3: on like a Tuesday, and by that Saturday, I was
Speaker 3: flying out to Florida. So same thing goes there. My
Speaker 3: other friend works remotely and she has a timeshare and
Speaker 3: she was like, do you want to just come and
Speaker 3: like hang out in Florida and we can play pickleball
Speaker 3: and we can like work during the day. I'm like,
Speaker 3: you had me at pickleball in Florida, Say lol, let's.
Speaker 2: To fucking go.
Speaker 3: So anyhow, we we went, and it was so fun,
Speaker 3: and we were kind of a little nervous hesitant because
Speaker 3: like July and Florida like hi, kill me now, like
Speaker 3: it's just blazing hot. But we got there and it
Speaker 3: wasn't really that bad at all, Like it was like
Speaker 3: perfect weather. And I don't know, I do not do
Speaker 3: well with humidity either, Like I will.
Speaker 2: Die my hair does, the rest of me does not.
Speaker 2: My skin.
Speaker 3: My skin really likes it because it feels very moisturized.
Speaker 3: But like if there's too much humidity in the air,
Speaker 3: like I feel like I can't bring it claustrophobic.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm likees like I'm like deep breathing.
Speaker 3: I'm like, wait, can I breathe right now? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Same, But the humidity was not bad. Oh, the temp
Speaker 2: was not bad.
Speaker 3: It just felt perfect.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my gosh. We even yeah, we even
Speaker 2: try to extend our like stay because we didn't say
Speaker 2: that long.
Speaker 3: I think it was like four days vibe.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 3: Oh, we try to extend and they're like, yeah, it'll
Speaker 3: be another three hundred dollars, like the flight change. Oh,
Speaker 3: and we're like, okay, we don't want to say that bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So we kind of just came back when we like
Speaker 3: needed to, you know, so it was like whatever, and
Speaker 3: so anyhow, it was just like it was it was
Speaker 3: it was just fun to just be there when it
Speaker 3: was like perfect weather, even though we thought we were
Speaker 3: gonna die and we ended up not dying. So anyhow,
Speaker 3: that was like the five four or five days there,
Speaker 3: and then when I came back that Saturday, we my
Speaker 3: other group of girlfriends did like a brunch. We did
Speaker 3: a brunch again. We do a brunch like every six weeks.
Speaker 3: I think I talk about this all the time, and
Speaker 3: that was really fun. And I actually brought up that
Speaker 3: like that my other group of girlfriends we do that
Speaker 3: wafful Wednesday where we'd like update everybody on like our
Speaker 3: week and stuff. I was telling my girlfriends, my other
Speaker 3: group of girlfriends that do brunch, I'm like, we need
Speaker 3: to do something like that because like I just feel
Speaker 3: like sometimes we get so busy in life, and like
Speaker 3: you just need to set a girlfriends to like encourage
Speaker 3: you or motivate you, or like just kind of support
Speaker 3: you in whatever you're going through. And I know, like
Speaker 3: I'm not alone when I say, like there's a lot
Speaker 3: of people out there struggling right now, like with their
Speaker 3: mental health, like just in life in general thing, you know.
Speaker 3: And so anyway, I'm like, guys, we.
Speaker 2: Just need like a really good support system.
Speaker 3: And so we started talking about it, and I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 3: my girlfriends do my other girlfriends do a waffle Wednesday.
Speaker 3: What if we do something like on another day and
Speaker 3: we like name it something else and I'm like, what
Speaker 3: if we do Taco Tuesday?
Speaker 2: And then my friend.
Speaker 3: Natalie was like, what if we do hot talk oh Tuesday?
Speaker 3: So now it's yes, love it. Yes, now it's literally
Speaker 3: called talk oh oh Tuesday. So now I have Taco
Speaker 3: Tuesday and I have Waffle Wednesday. And it's just like
Speaker 3: updating your girlfriends on life. So like if you guys
Speaker 3: still have not done this, I need you guys to
Speaker 3: get on it because like even just we started it,
Speaker 3: so our brunch was on Saturday, but we started it
Speaker 3: yes surday for like my other group of girlfriends and
Speaker 3: it's been great already.
Speaker 2: Like am you just getting like a group chat or
Speaker 2: do you get on like a call?
Speaker 3: So it's a voice memo. So for for the original ones,
Speaker 3: like the Waffle Wednesday girlies with my squad squad group,
Speaker 3: we do it on our Instagram group chat, so we
Speaker 3: have a group chat there. But then my dbb's the
Speaker 3: ones that do the Taco Tuesday, we have a Facebook
Speaker 3: Messenger group chat, so we just do it there and
Speaker 3: they're just voice memos.
Speaker 2: So you don't have to like all like get every
Speaker 2: same time.
Speaker 3: Yep, just whenever you can throughout the day, like you
Speaker 3: can just be like, hey, I'm starting taco Tuesday, waffle Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 3: They're like, this is my week, blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: And then whenever you get a chance to just listen
Speaker 3: to it while you're doing whatever, and then you just
Speaker 3: do your own thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it's just so cool.
Speaker 3: And because like even just yesterday I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I didn't know that about so and so or like
Speaker 3: one friend reminded me. She was like, Hey, I'm doing
Speaker 3: this fundraiser for my kid, Like if you guys have
Speaker 3: anything around the house, Like I'm like, oh my gosh, yes, perfect,
Speaker 3: I'm cleaning out my garage this Saturday or whatever.
Speaker 2: Love it, you know.
Speaker 3: So it's just really that was really really cool to
Speaker 3: like kind of establish that with them. But AnyWho, So,
Speaker 3: so overall July was just the highlight was definitely just
Speaker 3: like the traveling and the just going out there, like
Speaker 3: going to Denver, going to Florida and just hanging out
Speaker 3: with friends and just having a good time. But then
Speaker 3: like the low like yeah, the really low light was
Speaker 3: just like it was just crazy, Like.
Speaker 2: It was funny.
Speaker 3: I told Kelsey again, I don't think I was I
Speaker 3: honestly was not planning on talking about this even earlier
Speaker 3: this week. I was like, fuck we have we have
Speaker 3: life updates On Wednesday, I'm not talking about this, but
Speaker 3: I actually was today. I feel like so much better. Well,
Speaker 3: I actually did hop A the other day and I'll
Speaker 3: have to tell you guys about that in a bit.
Speaker 3: But any long story short, I literally and the I'm
Speaker 3: so casual about this right now because I did Hoppy
Speaker 3: and so all that to say though, like I was
Speaker 3: an emotional wreck last weekend, but basically I really got
Speaker 3: my heart broken and like I've never like I've never
Speaker 3: that's literally never happened to me before. And it's funny though,
Speaker 3: because I'm like I hardly ever cry, like I hardly
Speaker 3: ever ball, and I feel like that's kind of like
Speaker 3: a trauma thing, I think, or just like an issue
Speaker 3: I need to work on. I feel like sometimes I
Speaker 3: try to self soothe too quickly and be like everything's okay,
Speaker 3: Like I'm almost lokay a little bit toxic positivity, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, where it's like, bitch, it's okay
Speaker 3: to be sad, you know. And so AnyWho, long story short,
Speaker 3: I tell my girlfriends this all the time. I'm like, guys,
Speaker 3: I need a good fucking cry. I have not cried
Speaker 3: in like the longest time, like a good, good cry,
Speaker 3: you know. And so AnyWho, all that to say is
Speaker 3: I I I'm gonna try to condense this so much
Speaker 3: because there's just so much to it. But if if
Speaker 3: y'all want to ever go out for drinks with me,
Speaker 3: I will tell you all the details. But AnyWho, I
Speaker 3: actually started talking this guy while I was in Colorado
Speaker 3: and he was in Salt Lake, and like he is
Speaker 3: from Salt Lake, and it was just like, this is
Speaker 3: kind of the analogy. I told one of my girlfriends
Speaker 3: the other day. It was like I was when I
Speaker 3: was dating, I was just I was just hanging out
Speaker 3: on the shore, Like that's just where I was. I
Speaker 3: was comfortable the shoreline. That's as far as I got
Speaker 3: with guys emotionally. This guy literally took me to the
Speaker 3: depths of the ocean like I'd never been there before.
Speaker 3: I'd never explored experienced the depths of what the ocean
Speaker 3: could provide. So when I went into this with him,
Speaker 3: it was literally so mind blowing. Like we matched on
Speaker 3: a Tuesday, started talking on the phone on a Friday.
Speaker 3: That Friday, night, we talked for five hours. The next
Speaker 3: night four hours, the next night three, the next night two,
Speaker 3: and so every night after that we would talk for
Speaker 3: at least two hours. And we would always joke around
Speaker 3: and say like, oh we should like gosh, we need
Speaker 3: to get better at this. We're like we're just yeap
Speaker 3: in a way, like we can't stop talking to each other.
Speaker 3: Like anyhow, we talked about everything. We talked about our flaws,
Speaker 3: our insecurities, our dreams, like what we look for in
Speaker 3: a person, like marriage, kids, like everything deep deep, deep,
Speaker 3: deeply and really quickly. And it's crazy because it, I mean,
Speaker 3: maybe that saying is true. If you go to quickly
Speaker 3: as quickly as it burns, it's as quickly as it'll
Speaker 3: like die, you know. And so anyho, I think that
Speaker 3: was definitely a life lesson to learn though, because I
Speaker 3: mean I ended up seeing him when I came back
Speaker 3: from Colorado. We went on a date and then the
Speaker 3: next that so I came back on that Tuesday whatever
Speaker 3: date on Wednesday, Thursday, and then I had to fly
Speaker 3: out to Florida on that Saturday. So we kept talking
Speaker 3: then when I was in Florida, and then that following
Speaker 3: to Wednesday, when I was flying back home, is kind
Speaker 3: of when I got just a bit of a whiplash
Speaker 3: and he was just like, yeah, I gotta step away
Speaker 3: from this.
Speaker 2: It's not you.
Speaker 3: It's the classic, it's not you, it's me like you, yeah,
Speaker 3: like you just I have a lot of work to
Speaker 3: do on myself and you deserve somebody so much better.
Speaker 3: And it was just crazy though, because I remember the
Speaker 3: deep conversations we would have about like, hey, we would
Speaker 3: talk about this, right if we like ever like you know,
Speaker 3: wanted like fell off or wanted to walk away from this,
Speaker 3: and we both agreed we would. And so I texted
Speaker 3: him back and I was like, hey, I'm never gonna
Speaker 3: like force anybody to stay. I don't chase, but do
Speaker 3: you want to let like, let's talk about this. I
Speaker 3: want to fully understand you and I'll respect anything you decide.
Speaker 3: And so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we decided to see each other the next day
Speaker 2: and he didn't show.
Speaker 3: He did not show, and so I was devastated. Yeah,
Speaker 3: as you should be devast I was bawling upstairs in
Speaker 3: my bed, like balling. But you know what's so crazy,
Speaker 3: and this is where like my fucking toxic positivity comes
Speaker 3: out I'm literally balling. My heart is broken, Like I cannot,
Speaker 3: like balling to the point of like hyper ventilating. You're like,
Speaker 3: you know, and I like, after I would ball, i'd
Speaker 3: be like, thank you God, I'm so grateful for.
Speaker 2: You guys. In between you yeah, I'm like you guys,
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's crazy, how like I just am so.
Speaker 3: Grateful that I was able to feel feelings, Like I
Speaker 3: was grateful to feel sadness and like actually cry. I
Speaker 3: feel like my body needed that path so bad and
Speaker 3: it was a really good release. Like I really just
Speaker 3: let it go and just like cried. And so I
Speaker 3: emailed my boss that night at like midnight, and because
Speaker 3: the next day was Friday, and I was like, I
Speaker 3: can't come into work tomorrow. I just know I won't
Speaker 3: be productive. And he was really nice, obviously, he was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: take the day. So I went up to Park City
Speaker 3: to visit a friend. We had lunch, and then I
Speaker 3: went to like Trader Joe's and so like I just
Speaker 3: did a day out of it, went to Costco, you know,
Speaker 3: just like got out. But I mean I did obviously
Speaker 3: still cry like intermittently throughout the day, and I was like,
Speaker 3: my heart was really heavy over the weekend, and I
Speaker 3: was like, Ash, this really fucking sucks, you know. And
Speaker 3: it's just like it's weird because time was like, so
Speaker 3: I write poetry and so I've actually written about this before.
Speaker 3: But it's really I feel the same way, like when
Speaker 3: I'm in those settings with guys that I feel such
Speaker 3: a connection with time is non existent for me. So
Speaker 3: there's no such thing as like, wait, you only talked
Speaker 3: to him for two weeks and you're fucking devastated. I'm like, no, no,
Speaker 3: you don't get it. Though it wasn't just two weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we lived a lifetime together. Like everything we talked about.
Speaker 3: The time we spent together was not you can't measure
Speaker 3: that by hours or minutes or days like that is
Speaker 3: measured within, like the the soul entanglement of it all,
Speaker 3: you know. But I think it's so true.
Speaker 2: It's like, well, it's like what you guys talked about
Speaker 2: and how deep you went. Most people don't even go
Speaker 2: that deep in.
Speaker 4: Two years, Like it's like you guys literally deep deep deep,
Speaker 4: like like like I said earlier, like I was swimming
Speaker 4: in the shoreline and he took me out to the
Speaker 4: depths of the ocean and like that completely like got
Speaker 4: me so good, and I was like, holy fuck.
Speaker 3: And honestly, like I'm talking about this so chill right now,
Speaker 3: Like I am so chill about it right now, because
Speaker 3: I my friend God, I love her Mike, And she
Speaker 3: actually reached out to me yes thurday or the night
Speaker 3: before I already forgot, but she she gave me hoppy.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if you guys know what hope is,
Speaker 3: but it's basically like indigenous people use it, and it's
Speaker 3: tobacco mixed with other herbs, and it's like it's it's
Speaker 3: more of like a like Shamans use it for like yeah,
Speaker 3: ceremonies and stuff, and just it's very uh intentional use
Speaker 3: to like open your heart and really connect with the
Speaker 3: divine or like whatever your beliefs are, whatever your higher.
Speaker 2: Power, God, et cetera.
Speaker 3: And so and I've done hope before and I felt
Speaker 3: things before, but hope this week was like on a
Speaker 3: whole nother level.
Speaker 2: So she like kind of like an ayahuasca but not
Speaker 2: a purging experience kind of a situation.
Speaker 3: But yeah, not as crazy, not yet, not as crazy
Speaker 3: because it like it'll wear off in like thirty minutes whatever,
Speaker 3: but like you'll still feel the goodness of it all
Speaker 3: throughout the days to come, if that makes sense. But
Speaker 3: can I try some Yes, yes, she would love that.
Speaker 3: She would honestly love that. She's so because I'm always like,
Speaker 3: thank you, Mike, and for doing that. She's like, it's
Speaker 3: not me, it's the medicine. I'm like, okay, thank you
Speaker 3: for being a vessel, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like so, and it's it's kind of rough, and it's
Speaker 3: because it's like this powder form and they put it
Speaker 3: in this like kind of like this wooden tube and
Speaker 3: she has to blow it up your nose. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: it's kind of intense and you have to like close
Speaker 3: the back of your throat so it doesn't go down
Speaker 3: your throat. Interesting, and but it likes and she does
Speaker 3: both nostrils, so it's a whole thing. But after that happens,
Speaker 3: you immediately feel well. I think everybody's experience is different,
Speaker 3: so I won't speak on everybody's behalf, but like from
Speaker 3: my experience, like you just feel this whoosh of like
Speaker 3: energy and like all of a sudden, you're just very
Speaker 3: heart centered. And so I literally after she did that,
Speaker 3: I was fucking bawling. Yeah, like just bawling, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, oh my god, like I'm crying. It
Speaker 3: is kind of like a purge because I never really
Speaker 3: even like like I almost felt sick to my stomach,
Speaker 3: like I wanted to throw up. But it's because like
Speaker 3: there was just so much emotion coming up for me,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I was like, I'm so sorry,
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, Like I just I just kept saying
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, and I kept saying like I love you
Speaker 3: and AnyWho. So the experience I got like kind of
Speaker 3: a message because it's kind of like you go into
Speaker 3: it with an intention and you get a message out
Speaker 3: of it. And so the message that I got from
Speaker 3: it is like, honestly, like this guy was a reflection
Speaker 3: of you, Ellie, and I'm like wait what, I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh that, But it was like he was meant to
Speaker 3: show you the parts that you yourself are and you
Speaker 3: don't see, yeah, and that you still have to love
Speaker 3: through it all, if that makes any sense. So I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, he was me and I was him,
Speaker 3: and I had to experience him. Therefore, I had to
Speaker 3: experience myself in like another setting to help me open
Speaker 3: up more because I think we've joked about this to
Speaker 3: him like kind of like emotionally unavailable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: And so this has made me become like one step
Speaker 3: closer to being more emotionally available. I wouldn't say I'm
Speaker 3: like fully there, but like it has been you can
Speaker 3: and have those emotions absolutely, yes, yes. And so again
Speaker 3: I was like completely devastated before I had Hoppy, and like, honestly,
Speaker 3: if I hadn't had Hoppy, I probably would not have
Speaker 3: would not open up to you guys about this like
Speaker 3: at all, because it would be still so raw for me,
Speaker 3: and like I would still be so emotional about it,
Speaker 3: if that makes sense. But like Hope pulled me into
Speaker 3: a place to say, like, hey, like I know this
Speaker 3: sucks that you had to go through this, but just
Speaker 3: know that you needed to go through this. This was
Speaker 3: a life lesson for to show you who you can
Speaker 3: be when you open up your heart and know that
Speaker 3: you're like a step closer to like finding who you
Speaker 3: really need to be with, you know. And so it
Speaker 3: was crazy because like even while I was in Hot Bay,
Speaker 3: like in that we call it medicine, right or in
Speaker 3: just like that ceremony practice, I was like praying and
Speaker 3: like just feeling sorry for other people. So like I
Speaker 3: was feeling sorry for him, and like just the conversations
Speaker 3: I had with my girlfriends over the weekend, like everybody struggling,
Speaker 3: so I wanted to pray for them. And the medicine
Speaker 3: was like, hey, this is for you, Yeah, this is
Speaker 3: for you. I need you to stop thinking about other
Speaker 3: people right now, and I need you to cry for yourself,
Speaker 3: like because I feel like sometimes I overly do it
Speaker 3: with other people and I don't take care of myself.
Speaker 3: And so I was just like okay, okay, So I
Speaker 3: like was like, okay, let me cry for little me,
Speaker 3: you know. So then Mike and she's such a good
Speaker 3: facilitator and she like came over and she like saged
Speaker 3: and like like put her hand like on my head
Speaker 3: and like just kind of massaged my head and she
Speaker 3: was like she's like cry for a little Ellie, like
Speaker 3: give her love, like you're in her child. Like it
Speaker 3: was such an intentional, like beautiful, like just ceremony we
Speaker 3: had there. She was playing the drums at one point,
Speaker 3: Like it was just so good and so intentional and
Speaker 3: like all I'm saying is you guys, if you guys
Speaker 3: have not had hopay, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Get over there.
Speaker 3: But also if you're in in the area, like if
Speaker 3: you're in the Ogden area or wherever northern Utah, like,
Speaker 3: legit hit me up, because honestly, that's Miken's passionate. Like
Speaker 3: I think, honestly that's her life calling, to be honest,
Speaker 3: but she does that, and I'm I know she would
Speaker 3: just love it if somebody was like, hey, blah blah blah, we.
Speaker 2: Should see if she'd spons like not sponsored, but like
Speaker 2: host a cute little wine and wine. Yeah, treat yeah,
Speaker 2: I treat like a day many of our followers want
Speaker 2: to come with you have a cute little ceremony?
Speaker 3: No, totally, totally. We should first do one and then
Speaker 3: open it up or whatever. But it is so so good,
Speaker 3: Like you guys, what I'm literally.
Speaker 2: Saying so healing, and I feel like everybody needs that.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, like a thousand percent. Like I said, I
Speaker 3: would not be sharing the story like this whole guy
Speaker 3: experience story if I did not have hot Bay earlier
Speaker 3: this week, because my heart would still be completely shattered devase.
Speaker 3: I don't think I would even be able to like
Speaker 3: talk through it because I'd get too emotional, Like I
Speaker 3: was getting emotional with my friends just talking about it
Speaker 3: before that, and so anyhow, it was just the medicine
Speaker 3: speaks to you, and it kind of just tells you,
Speaker 3: like like if you ask questions, it'll just answer in
Speaker 3: that way and and you just know ultimately, like it's
Speaker 3: all love and it's all part of this life experience.
Speaker 3: And I feel like now I'm.
Speaker 2: At that place.
Speaker 3: I know, maybe too soon, but I'm so grateful to
Speaker 3: have had that experience, to have had that experience of
Speaker 3: like feeling all those feelings, going to the depths of
Speaker 3: the ocean and experiencing new sites, sounds, conversations, and then
Speaker 3: that being yanked for me was so hard. But knowing
Speaker 3: that it's out there, that it's still there and I
Speaker 3: can still tap into the depths of the ocean, it's
Speaker 3: just not going to look the same and that's okay, okay,
Speaker 3: and that's okay. So anyway, I'm like, ah, I know,
Speaker 3: I just rambled about hope, but it's true, and like
Speaker 3: it's so cool though.
Speaker 2: I find that stuff so interesting and I'm so curious
Speaker 2: about it. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, we can, like we should, Yeah, let's too hoppy,
Speaker 3: and then we can talk, we can have an episode
Speaker 3: about our experiences. Because like just a quick little like
Speaker 3: side note to Hoppy's. I remember once I did hop a.
Speaker 3: I think it was like earlier this year, one time
Speaker 3: with Mike and for sure, and I was going through
Speaker 3: a really hard time and I forgot why I was
Speaker 3: going through time. But anyhow, I just felt alone. I
Speaker 3: felt really alone in life in general, and so she
Speaker 3: gave me Hoppy. And then the first thing I thought of,
Speaker 3: because I everybody can get intentional in their own way,
Speaker 3: I get intentional with God because I still have that
Speaker 3: belief in God, and so I'm like, God, I just
Speaker 3: feel so alone. I feel so alone. And right as
Speaker 3: I said that, it was the weirdest thing. My eyes
Speaker 3: were closed and I felt this like warm energy circle
Speaker 3: surrounding me, and it was almost like an energy hug
Speaker 3: like like and I just felt and I knew that,
Speaker 3: like my you weren't alone. I was not alone, like
Speaker 3: there are It's just like a spiritual like lineage ancestors,
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it, spiritual team was just
Speaker 3: there and they were like, hey, we love you and
Speaker 3: we're here. You might not see us physically. Yeah, it
Speaker 3: was so so powerful. So anyhow, yeah, that was my month,
Speaker 3: you guys, was just like crazy, just the like the
Speaker 3: highest of the highest, an emotional rollercoaster. Yes, yes, having
Speaker 3: so much fun with friends, traveling to like the depths
Speaker 3: of the.
Speaker 2: Lowest ocean of the ocean trench girl. Yeah, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was it was rough, but it was definitely needed.
Speaker 3: And I'll I'll just I'll just take it from here,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I'll just take it from
Speaker 3: here and and go from there. So anyhow, all that
Speaker 3: to say though, too, is I was so fully in
Speaker 3: and so fully invested to this that I actually deleted
Speaker 3: my dating apps. And I've never done that, you guys
Speaker 3: like it's crazy.
Speaker 2: I've always just.
Speaker 3: Like snoozed them and then uninstalled so that I can
Speaker 3: easily get back in.
Speaker 2: That with Jayden. Like you said, You've never You've always
Speaker 2: just pausitive.
Speaker 3: And remember I was like, wait, should I delete it?
Speaker 3: And they're like hey, and I'm like no, Yeah. Anyhow,
Speaker 3: I deleted my fucking apps for this guy because I
Speaker 3: thought it was just we're done.
Speaker 2: This is it? This is excited. I Yes, I I
Speaker 2: saw you when I was like on that high, you know,
Speaker 2: and any who.

Speaker 3: life telling me like, hey, I need you to do this,
Speaker 3: and I need you to put pause on dating right now.
Speaker 3: So I mean next month, you guys probably won't like,

Speaker 3: of really hone into my energy and just focus on
Speaker 3: me girl. But any who, Yeah, I know that was
Speaker 3: kind of a little a law as far as but AnyWho,
