Speaker 1: Welcome to that I'm still fun podcast. So let's do
Speaker 1: like a little as I call it, housekeeping to kick
Speaker 1: things off. So we have a Jenny and I both
Speaker 1: have vacations that are kind of overlapping in a weird way.
Speaker 1: So we've figured out a way to keep it from
Speaker 1: like being multiple weeks without a new podcast is next
Speaker 1: week we'll have a mini episode and the week after
Speaker 1: we will be off, yes, and then we'll be back
Speaker 1: the following week with a full episode because basically how
Speaker 1: our vacations line up is it lines up perfectly to
Speaker 1: overlap where there's no possible way to record that a
Speaker 1: few weeks. Yeah, one day off. So but you know,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you listening and hanging out with us.
Speaker 2: First we should probably say thank you. Hell Yeahie, who
Speaker 2: is a super big fan of all of our shows.
Speaker 1: I think, y the podcast, all that stuff.
Speaker 2: But all of a sudden, Vat walks into my prod
Speaker 2: studio this morning and hands me these crumbled cookies. He's like,
Speaker 2: here you go, and I was like what are these
Speaker 2: and he's like, well, they're from Brie.
Speaker 1: Like I was supposed to know. Yeah, I was like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean?
Speaker 2: I'm just what is this about it? He's like, oh,
Speaker 2: that's right. This was supposed to be a surprise. Okay,
Speaker 2: but yeah, Bree sent us the Crumble cookies to celebrate
Speaker 2: our slightly belated one year of I'm Still fun.
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, thank you so much. That is
Speaker 1: so incredibly thoughtful and it's funny because we didn't even
Speaker 1: realize we'd been doing this for a year. Yeah, kep
Speaker 1: better track of it than us, and we are going
Speaker 1: to hammer these cookies. Crumble Cookies. I some people hate them.
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I do get it either.
Speaker 2: Like everyone's like they're so overrated, and I was like,
Speaker 2: they're not. Though they're always good, they might, I mean
Speaker 2: maybe a certain flavor you might not like. Right, you're
Speaker 2: gonna at least if you get a variety pack, you're
Speaker 2: gonna at least love half of the flavors.
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't overly follow the girl on
Speaker 1: TikTok Nara Smith, but like she's so popular that her
Speaker 1: videos will pop up you know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: She's the one that is the soft voice and makes
Speaker 1: everything from scratch and half of it's become like a joke.
Speaker 1: And she's a model and her husband lucky as a
Speaker 1: model and blah blah blah. But like she they're on
Speaker 1: I don't know what, they're doing, some kind of road trips,
Speaker 1: so they're you know, she's not baking everything at home,
Speaker 1: but they got like there. It's also one of those
Speaker 1: things that I get so annoyed with where they're both thin,
Speaker 1: beautiful models, Like she was in their hammering cookies like
Speaker 1: they were. So she'll be like, so Lucky you wanted pizza,
Speaker 1: so we had six pizzas and like Lucky ate all
Speaker 1: of it. And that's how she talks. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: how the hell what kind of habitalism you got, Lucky.
Speaker 1: I'm jealous and same with her, but that you know,
Speaker 1: that's just jealousy. But they went and got cinnabon, and
Speaker 1: she's like I thought they were vile, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: who thinks cinnabon is vile? It's so good. I mean,
Speaker 1: I get like, there are some cinnamon rolls out there
Speaker 1: that suck because right and disgusting, but like, I'm not
Speaker 1: even gonna say, but there is a place in the
Speaker 1: Twin Cities that people love. I feel like I might
Speaker 1: know who might know what it is. And I've had
Speaker 1: a like two or three times in every single time. Like,
Speaker 1: I do not get the hype here.
Speaker 2: Because it's so dry every time one specific place that
Speaker 2: comes to mind for me. But to be fair, there's
Speaker 2: something else there that they're known for that's really good.
Speaker 2: But also like this is like the runner up is
Speaker 2: the cinnabon.
Speaker 1: Yes, I wrote it down on my note. Yes, I
Speaker 1: wrote it on my notes.
Speaker 2: Dude, Yes, that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 1: Everyone like I'll be like, where's a good cinemonarole? And
Speaker 1: ninety nine percent of their response will be that. I'm like, no, dog,
Speaker 1: I've had it, and I've had it more than once,
Speaker 1: and it's asked.
Speaker 2: You're like, I'm gonna go to the busy mall of
Speaker 2: America and give me a cinema.
Speaker 1: I would rather do that. Yeah, I'm like, that's so funny.
Speaker 1: I'm glad I'm not alone to that. But I'm like,
Speaker 1: your your mouth nose dry? Do these people? Do these
Speaker 1: people have the most salivating mouths in the world out there?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Another huge milestone in addition to our
Speaker 1: one year anniversary, she would make out, by the way,
Speaker 1: for our anniversary, I would love to little ASMR makeout
Speaker 1: from us. I got my period. Yeah, shout it from
Speaker 1: the rooftops.
Speaker 2: The girl, it's a soon nummy like, thank you for asking.
Speaker 1: No, I did feel extra crampy like for two days,
Speaker 1: but I mean, I've never had horrible cramps, but you know,
Speaker 1: day one and especially day two would be a little
Speaker 1: bit worse. But I did feel like it was a
Speaker 1: little bit more intense than normal. And I don't know,
Speaker 1: there's a weird part of me that's proud that I
Speaker 1: am not officially dried up yet. Yeah, I'm sure it's
Speaker 1: around the corner, but many many years. I'm also really
Speaker 1: happy that I got it out of the way before
Speaker 1: my trip to Italy, where no one wants to start
Speaker 1: a period tsunami on like a what seven or eight
Speaker 1: hour flight pass, So we did get really quick. I
Speaker 1: do want it like because we're just on the topic.
Speaker 1: One of our emails did have a little bit to
Speaker 1: do with that, So I'm going to do that one
Speaker 1: really quick. But she said, Hey, Fallon and Genny, I'm
Speaker 1: a big fan, and listen to the morning show, the podcast,
Speaker 1: and the afternoon show. We'll shout out for all the support.
Speaker 1: I heard you talking the other week about having a
Speaker 1: group get together for talking about perimenopause and menopause. I
Speaker 1: was forty two when i started perimenopause, and two years
Speaker 1: later I'm still in it. What really helped was seeing
Speaker 1: a sexual health doctor. Okay, she specializes in hormones, sex
Speaker 1: and medications things like that. She even showed me on
Speaker 1: a screen exactly what I looked like down there and
Speaker 1: how my estrogen was low. It was crazy. Anyways, I
Speaker 1: would love to have a group or some women to
Speaker 1: talk to about this because it's a very difficult. It's
Speaker 1: very difficult going through. Thank you so much and keep
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. You guys are awesome. It's from Nicole,
Speaker 1: so I thought that one fit in with that discussion.
Speaker 1: So thanks Nicole. I don't think I realized. I guess
Speaker 1: I should have known there were like sexual doctors, but
Speaker 1: I didn't know that there was. I know there were
Speaker 1: probably sex therapists.
Speaker 2: Well, I know that there's like specific people. If somebody
Speaker 2: sent me this because I talked about how I always
Speaker 2: pee my pants when I jump on a trampoline or
Speaker 2: any consualancy thing, you know, and people are like, Tony,
Speaker 2: that's not normal, like for not having kids and whatever,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, it's been my whole life, and so
Speaker 2: somebody's sent me like the Vagina Whisperer on Instagram I
Speaker 2: think is their names. Yeah, but they're specifically a Pelp
Speaker 2: Florida therapists or therapists whatever.
Speaker 1: So I knew about that, But no, I didn't know
Speaker 1: that's there. So what did you guys? Did we talk
Speaker 1: about this? What did you decide you're doing for your
Speaker 1: actual trip?
Speaker 2: The tentative plan is we are gonna head down to
Speaker 2: like the Utah area mostly, so I think we're gonna
Speaker 2: go into Colorado and hit like the Great Sand Dunes
Speaker 2: National Park or something, and then we're gonna head over
Speaker 2: to like Bryce Cannon.
Speaker 1: Canyon, Canyon, Canyon, Zion.
Speaker 2: The Arches, tons of little park little, tons of big
Speaker 2: parks over there, and then circle back up maybe probably
Speaker 2: through the Black Hills in South Dakota. It's just it's
Speaker 2: Minnesota is just so in a spot where like for
Speaker 2: you to get to anywhere, you gotta travel at least
Speaker 2: through a couple boring states to get to something good
Speaker 2: most of the time. So I think that's kind of
Speaker 2: the tentative plan. I was still kind of on the
Speaker 2: side of wanting to go out east and see the
Speaker 2: fall colors, but they might be done by then, because
Speaker 2: I think they're already happening right now.
Speaker 1: Kind of how depends on where you go. So like
Speaker 1: we were, I'm doing like a weekend girls trip in November.
Speaker 1: It's literally a weekend with my girls back home from Indiana,
Speaker 1: and we were going to go to Asheville. Well guess
Speaker 1: what the hurricane Oh took it hotways we're supposed to go,
Speaker 1: And obviously our trip is irrelevant. I just I can't
Speaker 1: imagine what those people are going through. But like today
Speaker 1: we were like we I started texting when I'm like,
Speaker 1: we probably should make a call on this, guys, And
Speaker 1: so I just went ahead and canceled my flight and
Speaker 1: the airbnb. Today We're going to find a different location.
Speaker 1: Who cares. But places like Asheville, they were like, not
Speaker 1: that they would have still been turning colors in November,
Speaker 1: but they definitely would still be like through October and stuff,
Speaker 1: which now that doesn't matter, but yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Think so that was kind of like where I wanted
Speaker 2: to go. But to be fair, lots of places are
Speaker 2: getting snow already and we just don't have a built
Speaker 2: out van. Yeah, we have to like really make sure
Speaker 2: we're going to a climate that's gonna work with what
Speaker 2: we have because we don't have air conditions, we don't
Speaker 2: have heat, so we have to have some mild in
Speaker 2: between of sorts or else, like we're gonna have to
Speaker 2: not stay in the campra van, which, to be fair,
Speaker 2: I know that this being our first trip and us
Speaker 2: not having much in the camera van, I think we
Speaker 2: will probably end up maybe booking a motel here and
Speaker 2: there or an airbnb or something, and we've decided that's
Speaker 2: fine just because like we literally only have a cabinet
Speaker 2: and a bed in there. That's right, it, But man,
Speaker 2: I want to go back though for a second. Mother
Speaker 2: Nature is not your friends out big surf for you
Speaker 2: for your forty big birthday, and now a hurricane for
Speaker 2: your girls trip.
Speaker 1: I know that that one's not as big of a deal,
Speaker 1: but wow, I know someone else made that comment. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, yeah, I'm really just no one wants
Speaker 1: me to probably book. I swear if something happens to
Speaker 1: Italy and the next week, I'm gonna be pissed.
Speaker 2: So far, it looks good because our friend I'm there.
Speaker 1: I know, you know. By the way, This has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with anything except that I thought it would
Speaker 1: pass this so long. And I bet most people already
Speaker 1: know this. But I listened to a podcast called National
Speaker 1: Park after Dark, and I've been way off listening lately
Speaker 1: because I've been busy listening to some other things. I
Speaker 1: found like a I realized I've been listening to my
Speaker 1: favorite podcast for like a year, and so I was like,
Speaker 1: and they have an episode every day, so I don't
Speaker 1: listen to this office I've never shared it. I'm never
Speaker 1: going to share it. But it's rude. It's rude, and
Speaker 1: people are like, why do you even bring it up?
Speaker 1: But it took the place of some others I was
Speaker 1: listening to. So but National Park after Dark they do
Speaker 1: trail tales and people will ride in about their experiences,
Speaker 1: and I always get so hype when they it's someone
Speaker 1: from Minnesota riding in. It'll always be like Boundary Waters
Speaker 1: for the most part. But first of all, this week,
Speaker 1: the two girls are from like up East Coast, the
Speaker 1: hosts a podcast, and their voices sound so similar I've
Speaker 1: never once been able to tell the difference. And then
Speaker 1: every but they the girl who wrote in wrote in
Speaker 1: Minnesota words and They were like, I don't know how
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to say this uf ufta, And I was like, oh, ufta,
Speaker 1: and it made me laugh. There's no way I would
Speaker 1: have known how to pronounce that before I moved here. Either,
Speaker 1: I probably would have said ufta also. But they were
Speaker 1: talking about one of the trail tills was people going
Speaker 1: on a hike passing dogs, and then they passed one
Speaker 1: of the people and one of the dogs on the
Speaker 1: way back, but not the other one because the dog
Speaker 1: got like heat stroke one the other ones and it
Speaker 1: was too heavy to carry down. But they I don't
Speaker 1: know if I just wanted to pass this along. If
Speaker 1: you go on hikes with dogs, I guess there are
Speaker 1: these harnesses you can buy that you can like attach
Speaker 1: a dog to you. It wouldn't be easy necessarily, but
Speaker 1: if something happened where your dog couldn't walk, you could
Speaker 1: buy these harnesses to get them down to safety, and
Speaker 1: obviously would be way easier than you trying to carry
Speaker 1: it with like just your arms, like you attach it
Speaker 1: to your back or to your frat. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I should have realized that they created something like that,
Speaker 1: but I just never thought of it because I don't
Speaker 1: have hiking dogs, but some people do, and like obviously
Speaker 1: their dogs were physically able to do it, but they
Speaker 1: just they hate stroked, and so the dog was ended
Speaker 1: up being fine. But like a lot of the parks,
Speaker 1: they won't come in to rescue an animal, They will
Speaker 1: only come in to rescue a human, so they couldn't
Speaker 1: get help. And they also didn't have cell signal anyway
Speaker 1: in the park to find people. So that's I just
Speaker 1: thought that was like interesting to like pass along, Like
Speaker 1: if you're going on big hikes with your dog, even
Speaker 1: if they're in great health, it might be something to
Speaker 1: look into investing in.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I've necessarily seen anything like that before,
Speaker 2: but I do follow a lot of campervand people. They
Speaker 2: all have like dogs and cats and stuff, and like
Speaker 2: one person literally brings their cat on hikes and like
Speaker 2: the cat is like I don't know if it's a harness.
Speaker 2: It probably is a harness, like attached to the backpack
Speaker 2: that they wear, not like a kid carrier. It's like
Speaker 2: so literally the cat's was like sitting on top of
Speaker 2: a backpack. But I've seen where they kind of like
Speaker 2: fall a little bit and they're able to still catch
Speaker 2: them because they're like attached on the backpack or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but oh, that's interesting. Yeah, can I
Speaker 2: say so? I know you're not revealing the podcast that
Speaker 2: you were talking about, and I don't think I'm going
Speaker 2: to reveal the one I'm talking about either.
Speaker 1: Oh this is the worst. There's a reason why.
Speaker 2: So if somebody had suggested a podcast that revolves around anxiety,
Speaker 2: so I went to give it a listen, and literally
Speaker 2: the first episode, I just picked a random episode where
Speaker 2: the title seemed interesting to me, and it was about HSPs,
Speaker 2: which stands for highly sensitive people and then M paths
Speaker 2: and so that saying like, what the difference is if
Speaker 2: you are one of those, you might have this characteristic whatever.
Speaker 2: I'm listening, and I turned it off after probably seven
Speaker 2: minutes because I immediately knew that this was two girls
Speaker 2: who have anxiety, but they don't have the background or
Speaker 2: the credentials to be talking about the things that they're
Speaker 2: talking about in a way that you should believe them.
Speaker 2: Because one of them was trying to describe what HSPs
Speaker 2: mean and what the characteristics.
Speaker 1: Were, and they probably are just reading something they pulled
Speaker 1: off of, like chest GPS.
Speaker 2: They literally one girl goes, well, that's weird. I think
Speaker 2: that that's what an EmPATH is. And she's like, no,
Speaker 2: this is for HSPs. And she's like, well, what's your
Speaker 2: source and she goes, oh, it's like and she said,
Speaker 2: like someone's name and it turned out to be a
Speaker 2: blog like blog. And then the other girl goes, well,
Speaker 2: I'm reading from like psychology dot com right now and
Speaker 2: this is what it says. And so I had to
Speaker 2: turn it off pretty much immediately because I was like,
Speaker 2: I love people who are willing to talk about their anxiety,
Speaker 2: but if you're talking about it from a doctor perspective,
Speaker 2: you should be a doctor. If you're talking about it
Speaker 2: from your own personal experience, then I feel like that's
Speaker 2: totally fine whatever. But I just think there are so
Speaker 2: many podcasts out there where people just trust that the
Speaker 2: persons speaking is an expert just because they have a
Speaker 2: podcast and they aren't, and so I don't know. So
Speaker 2: many people start podcasts, and sometimes I just I get
Speaker 2: frustrated being in the podcasting world.
Speaker 1: Ourselves.
Speaker 2: You and I, yeah, we give advice every once in
Speaker 2: a while if people ask us for advice, but we're
Speaker 2: not giving you want to talk about GOV and oh
Speaker 2: Zembek and we're like, we don't know, no ideas, Yeah
Speaker 2: this is but we are open about that.
Speaker 1: You know, we aren't coming in like.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you should do this if you're like trying
Speaker 2: to lose some weight and whatever. So it was just
Speaker 2: kind of I was bummed because I was excited because
Speaker 2: I thought it was like a podcast I would be
Speaker 2: able to get into.
Speaker 1: And I immediately was like no, no, I yeah, I
Speaker 1: hate that I had someone not the exact same situation.
Speaker 1: But I had someone recommend a book recently and she's
Speaker 1: like best book I read this year, and I downloaded it.
Speaker 1: But I'm an audiobook person and I within like a
Speaker 1: chapter was like I cannot listen to this. The author
Speaker 1: did the audio and she I've actually heard before that
Speaker 1: most publishers prefer the author to not do the audio
Speaker 1: because they're not professional. If they're like an actor or something,
Speaker 1: then yeah, you expect them probably to do narrate their
Speaker 1: own book or like Britney Spears had Michelle Williams do it,
Speaker 1: but she's an actress. And this author's voice drove me
Speaker 1: so insane. I'm like, I don't care how good the
Speaker 1: book is I'll never listen to it because I cannot
Speaker 1: hear the voice. And that's why sometimes that people say
Speaker 1: that they hate the sound of my voice. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I get it. That sucks because that's the top thing
Speaker 1: I can't change. But you it really is. You have
Speaker 1: to be able to enjoy the sound of someone's voice
Speaker 1: or it ruins the entire experience for you. Like I said,
Speaker 1: very different than that, but it stinks when you have
Speaker 1: something recommended that you want to check out and you
Speaker 1: like that, Nope, immediately turn it off. And then if
Speaker 1: they check back in later, like would you think and
Speaker 1: you're like, I actually hated it. You don't say that
Speaker 1: because that'd be awful, but yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel you. Well, man, I haven't seen you
Speaker 2: since last week. Did you do anything super fun this week?
Speaker 1: Kind of?
Speaker 2: I think you've texted me on Friday and you're like,
Speaker 2: what are you doing this weekend? And I texted you
Speaker 2: back saying what about you? And you never responded. You
Speaker 2: reponded to something not else, But you don't.
Speaker 1: I know, because well I think I didn't know what
Speaker 1: I was doing. Number One, sad, hav anything exciting planned?
Speaker 1: But also I've been like really bad during our show. Lately,
Speaker 1: like before, I feel like I had more time to
Speaker 1: respond during mining cult show, but lately, man, I have
Speaker 1: like had no time. I texted you at eleven thirty am.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was when I was like leaving work for
Speaker 2: the day on to Friday, or actually was probably like
Speaker 2: eleven because it was Friday.
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me check my schedule.
Speaker 2: You you would ask me first, like what are you
Speaker 2: doing this weekend? And I had responded maybe it was
Speaker 2: until I got home, but regardless, it was definitely before noon,
Speaker 2: and then I was like what about you?
Speaker 1: And then we texting. I don't know what happened, Jenny.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Another thing I've been doing lately with
Speaker 1: texting is anytime anyone asks me a question, I'd take
Speaker 1: a full twenty four hours to respond to them. Not you,
Speaker 1: because you're like but like I realized, I am who
Speaker 1: I've always hated. Now I can't stand people who take
Speaker 1: forever to respond to a text and like your phone's
Speaker 1: in your hand twenty four to seven, like unless you
Speaker 1: work at a job that I know, Like you're a
Speaker 1: doctor and your phone isn't on you like I, which
Speaker 1: I don't have any doctor friends. I don't know why
Speaker 1: that was my example, but like it drives me crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm like, just respond to me, and then it makes
Speaker 1: me feel like a loser that I so easily respond
Speaker 1: to everyone. But mine is not about that. Mine is
Speaker 1: I need to mentally decide if I can take on
Speaker 1: the thought process of their question. Yep. And it's usually
Speaker 1: a question about my time. Yeah, it's almost always like
Speaker 1: could you do this? And I'm like, I need twenty
Speaker 1: four hours to decide if I mentally can do this
Speaker 1: thing you're asking me to do with my time next week.
Speaker 2: And that's fair because you're super busy.
Speaker 1: Bad though, I'm like, people are going to start being like,
Speaker 1: goose bitch, but you're really busy.
Speaker 2: I think that that's a completely fair thing to not
Speaker 2: respond immediately about something that like involves your time. I
Speaker 2: h that's fair if it's like something that needs an
Speaker 2: answer because of something happening the next day, that I
Speaker 2: could understand that.
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, I've always been the queen of not responding
Speaker 2: to text right away, Like I know, well, okay, to
Speaker 2: be fair, you're like in the middle of your show
Speaker 2: from two to six, and that is prime nappy time
Speaker 2: for me, so I oftentimes except to make I will
Speaker 2: wake up at like twenty minutes into an app, I
Speaker 2: will look at my phone off this twenty seven texts
Speaker 2: for me and yeah, I'll see like twenty seven texts
Speaker 2: from Falance and I'll be like, oh, I'll answer this
Speaker 2: vitu later. Yeah, and then I completely forget.
Speaker 1: That's what I've been doing. I've been like I'll see
Speaker 1: it during like the Jason Show, like I'll respond later,
Speaker 1: and then I forget that I never responded.
Speaker 2: Yes, my family is probably I'm the worst to them.
Speaker 2: They will, especially if they text me during the show,
Speaker 2: because I really don't text during the show, yeah, unless
Speaker 2: it's really important, And so if they text me during
Speaker 2: the show and I open it, I will completely forget
Speaker 2: to respond to it for like a week's times.
Speaker 1: But I don't know.
Speaker 2: I my phone was dying last night. It was probably
Speaker 2: I don't know, six pm, and I'm like, Okay, I
Speaker 2: got some shit to do. I need to vacuum, I
Speaker 2: needed to do some laundry. I'm just gonna go put
Speaker 2: it upstairs in my bedroom on the charger. And I
Speaker 2: did a bunch of stuff in the in between, like
Speaker 2: did some stuff on my computer, whatever. I didn't have
Speaker 2: my phone for like two and a half hours and
Speaker 2: it was great. And I didn't even like look for
Speaker 2: like go to reach for it once. Yeah, and I
Speaker 2: was like, this is fantastic. I am like happy I'm
Speaker 2: capable of doing that. But also I know that when
Speaker 2: I got back there were like a few text messages
Speaker 2: from the morning show, but luckily I didn't need an
Speaker 2: answer from me. It was something like VANT was trying
Speaker 2: to create for some social media stuff, but I just.
Speaker 1: Love being away from my phone. Sometimes it's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: really hard for me, but I was away a tiny
Speaker 1: bit this week of it only because I was trying
Speaker 1: to tackle the weeds that have taken over my entire life,
Speaker 1: which I've ever wont on Instagram, They're like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: because like the people before me, they I think they
Speaker 1: were retired. They had the most beautiful lawn ever, like
Speaker 1: everything about it, the flat flower beds. Mine's crap. And
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, anyone else like I'm drowning this
Speaker 1: year because of all the rain, Like there's no getting out.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to have hire someone actually and spend
Speaker 1: money to reset. It's because I don't want to look
Speaker 1: at crap. Yeah, and everyone's like same and they're like
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't know who has time to
Speaker 1: do that unless they are retired, because when you have,
Speaker 1: like I mean, it doesn't have to just be kids,
Speaker 1: like you're just busy. It's like I don't have. But
Speaker 1: I did pull out a ton this weekend. And I
Speaker 1: was having Jake pull out like a tree and he's like, well,
Speaker 1: can I use your gloves? And I was like yeah,
Speaker 1: I hand it to him and then I'm in there
Speaker 1: just rip and he's like, why am I bothering? He's like,
Speaker 1: look at you God. He's like, you're just ripping through things.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I don't have time for this shit.
Speaker 1: You're over there taking you're sweet ass time digging out
Speaker 1: one tree root. He's like the roots to China, I swear,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, so dramatic. And then like, I
Speaker 1: also did binge this weekend. Nobody wants this. I saw
Speaker 1: you post that on it. It's so good. I've only
Speaker 1: watched the first two episodes, so you like it though, right? Oh?
Speaker 2: I love it and I would have watched more, but
Speaker 2: Andrew like came up stairs when I started like settling
Speaker 2: in for a little bit, Sush, and we've been in
Speaker 2: the middle of watching like old Survivor season. He's like,
Speaker 2: do you want to watch Survivor? And we hadn't really
Speaker 2: hung out much that day, so I was like sure,
Speaker 2: but I was like after episode, I was like, let
Speaker 2: me just finish this first episode. So I watched one
Speaker 2: and then I watched one more last night and I
Speaker 2: know I'm going to go home and binge the rest.
Speaker 1: Like in the next two days. There were like two
Speaker 1: or three episodes where I was like kind of had
Speaker 1: it on in the background while I was working, so
Speaker 1: I probably missed some stuff, but it was still very,
Speaker 1: very good and highly recommend it, and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I posted it is one of the few shows I
Speaker 1: have seen just nothing but positivity, from their chemistry to
Speaker 1: their kissing to like the actual jokes not being too cheesy.
Speaker 1: I really liked it. And did you watch the OC No? Okay,
Speaker 1: because I did.
Speaker 2: And I feel like it's kind of hard for me
Speaker 2: to see Adam Brody play any other character than Seth
Speaker 2: who he was on that show, and I think he
Speaker 2: this is like, I mean, I don't know what else
Speaker 2: I've seen him in. Honestly, I can't think of anything
Speaker 2: off the top of my head, but I really am
Speaker 2: like fully engulfed in his character.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he plays. So I don't know if you follow
Speaker 1: the Foster sisters, So do you know what I'm talking about? No, Okay,
Speaker 1: I like the people who write books. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: know it's the It's Sarah and something Foster, but they're
Speaker 1: Dave Foster. Okay, this is like a long line. So
Speaker 1: Dave Foster. David Foster is this famous musician. He's now
Speaker 1: married to Catherine McPhee. Okay, he's way older than her.
Speaker 1: I know that he's written like a lot of huge
Speaker 1: musical hits for artists. Yes, these are his daughters. Okay.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that for years because I didn't know
Speaker 1: who he was honestly until he was with Catherine mcphe.
Speaker 1: I don't think i'd ever heard of him. So like
Speaker 1: older generations, I feel like know him better. Yep. So
Speaker 1: the only reason I knew his daughters is because since
Speaker 1: they're kids of like a famous dad, I've seen them
Speaker 1: intertwined with other celebrities on social media for years without
Speaker 1: really understanding who they were and why they were like
Speaker 1: popular or famous. I think at some point I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: they must have a famous parent. But long story longer,
Speaker 1: they wrote they wrote this, Oh okay, and they spent
Speaker 1: like the one girl said it's like based on her
Speaker 1: life with her husband and they've worked on it for
Speaker 1: five years, and I thought that was like an interesting
Speaker 1: cool tie in, Like I mean, you could say it's nepotism,
Speaker 1: but they they must have hired a good team of
Speaker 1: writers or whatever because it's really good. Yeah, and you
Speaker 1: can tell like there's no way there won't be a
Speaker 1: second season because like it's doing so well like the like,
Speaker 1: there's no way there won't be a second one. I
Speaker 1: guess unless Kristen Bell or whatever his name is, they'd
Speaker 1: say no. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't made it that far, so I
Speaker 2: have no idea. But if you haven't heard of this,
Speaker 2: it's basically the gist as a sex podcast host meets
Speaker 2: a rabbi and it goes right and it's just very
Speaker 2: interesting but like balance out, it's just it was like
Speaker 2: a very unexpected chemistry right off the bat. Yeah is
Speaker 2: what it is. And it's like, wow, okay.
Speaker 1: Well because you see some like I don't try to
Speaker 1: think of there are so many like shows on Netflix
Speaker 1: where I'm like, their chemistry sucks, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh god, like, there was the one I'll
Speaker 1: never forget Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon. I don't know
Speaker 1: I've ever seen worse chemistry other than Nicole Kidman and
Speaker 1: Zach Effron. Oh god, like some of the worst chemistry.
Speaker 1: I didn't watch it. Don't don't so bad.
Speaker 2: Not that this is that big of video, since guys
Speaker 2: have always done this with girls for many, many years.
Speaker 2: But Nicole Kidman is like like a little bit older
Speaker 2: than Zac Efron, right, a lot of That's what I thought,
Speaker 2: And I feel like it was weird for me to
Speaker 2: even think that they were portraying a romantic relationship. I
Speaker 2: thought it was like a mother son situation before I
Speaker 2: realized what it was. Well, I still haven't seen it,
Speaker 2: but I've seen trailers.
Speaker 1: They her like wig in that movie and his like
Speaker 1: facial plastics that was throwing me off. On top of
Speaker 1: all of it, it was all around bad. It was
Speaker 1: not good. So but yeah, I would say, finish it,
Speaker 1: ben Jail, It's amazing.
Speaker 2: I will I do have one. You might, I feel
Speaker 2: like you get more emails than I do.
Speaker 1: I have one email that I know that we're both
Speaker 1: copied on. Okay, I was gonna say, because I do
Speaker 1: have one that I know we're both on as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: you want to read it, I don't care. You can
Speaker 1: if you want, I'll read it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, Hi ladies, and then in parenthesis friends perfect.
Speaker 1: Podcast hosts, ooh, you already have our attention.
Speaker 2: I hope this email finds you well. With a funny emoji,
Speaker 2: that's my corporate workplace transition for a question that I've
Speaker 2: been debating and thought it could be an interesting topic
Speaker 2: to hear on. I'm still fun. I prefer no name
Speaker 2: since my co workers are all Minnesota locals. I work remote,
Speaker 2: but have co workers that i've become pretty close with.
Speaker 2: I was recently invited to one of their baby showers
Speaker 2: but couldn't make it. I sent a gift, but my
Speaker 2: coworker has not acknowledged if she got it yet. The
Speaker 2: shower was September seventh, and I sent the gift a
Speaker 2: few days before. I'm wondering is it rude if I
Speaker 2: ask she got it. I absolutely do not care about
Speaker 2: getting a thank you or acknowledgment of the gift, but
Speaker 2: really am wondering if she just didn't get it when
Speaker 2: I sent it. I got a tracking number and it
Speaker 2: said it was delivered. But she's usually pretty quick to
Speaker 2: acknowledge or say thank you for things, so I'm not
Speaker 2: totally sure. But I would feel like a jerk if
Speaker 2: I ask her and she did get it but it
Speaker 2: just slipped her mind. I know there are way more
Speaker 2: important things to remember as a mom to be. I
Speaker 2: know most people would probably say just ask, but the
Speaker 2: Minnesota nice in me is overthinking and not wanting to
Speaker 2: hurt her feelings. But on the flip side, considering that
Speaker 2: we have been friends for a while, I don't want
Speaker 2: her to think I didn't send her anything for the
Speaker 2: shower either. I love to hear your guys perspective. Should
Speaker 2: I leave it alone? Thanks? Love the podcast so much.
Speaker 2: It's part of my weekly rotation of entertainment while working.
Speaker 2: You make my days better.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the right response is yeah, leave
Speaker 1: it alone, But I would be just like you, Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't think that'd be the right response. I say,
Speaker 1: just ask. Well, yeah, but I get what she's saying.
Speaker 1: People feel okay, imagine it someone in our sales department
Speaker 1: you're not super close with. Of course you would ask me,
Speaker 1: but like, it would be a little bit weirder for
Speaker 1: me to ask someone I don't talk to, maybe like
Speaker 1: as a best friend, if it's like a coworker. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I still think I would word it like this, Hey,
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure you got the gift
Speaker 1: I sent. I only ask because I sent so and
Speaker 1: so something recently and they never got it. I would totally.
Speaker 1: If I was uncomfortable, I would bring up how this
Speaker 1: has happened to me before, Like a card I sent
Speaker 1: my nephew with money and he never got and I
Speaker 1: had to resend it because I didn't want to think
Speaker 1: I didn't love him, And I just want you to
Speaker 1: know I love you. Wanted to make sure you got
Speaker 1: the gift or something. I would do something over the
Speaker 1: top like that.
Speaker 2: Yes, I feel like i'd probably do the same, considering
Speaker 2: the relationship. I mean, it's that's that they've been friends
Speaker 2: for a while, but they're so coworkers. I don't know
Speaker 2: how close a friendship that is. That's true, I guess, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're right.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm also dealing with this a little
Speaker 1: bit myself. Oh God, did I forget to send you
Speaker 1: a thank you card.
Speaker 2: No, I did not go back to Wisconsin this past
Speaker 2: weekend when it was it was my nephew's birthday party.
Speaker 2: And to be fair, my family doesn't expect me to
Speaker 2: come home for like pretty much anything besides like the
Speaker 2: big holidays and stuff. But I said, like, yeah, I'll
Speaker 2: try to make it. I don't know if I'm going
Speaker 2: to and I just decided for my own sanity no,
Speaker 2: because we were up at the north Shore last weekend,
Speaker 2: we leave for like ten days coming up shortly. I
Speaker 2: really didn't want to drive back to Wisconsin l this weekend.
Speaker 2: And also I had committed to watching some dogs, but
Speaker 2: Andrew was just going to stay with the dogs if,
Speaker 2: like I did decide to go, and so I sent
Speaker 2: a card to my nephew for it. But there's a
Speaker 2: good chance that he might not be getting it until
Speaker 2: today because I sent it I think on Wednesday, but
Speaker 2: the party was Saturday, and so I'm like waiting to
Speaker 2: hear if I get to thank you. And when I
Speaker 2: texted my sister saying hey, sorry, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: make it last week, she just gave me like a
Speaker 2: like emoji or not a like emoji like she liked
Speaker 2: the text, and so I feel like she's a little
Speaker 2: upset that I didn't come home for the party. And
Speaker 2: then also like did they not get the card yet?
Speaker 1: And now am I?
Speaker 2: Like so I kind of want to ask my sister
Speaker 2: to like And also his birthday was a week prior,
Speaker 2: so I feel like maybe she was sulty that I
Speaker 2: hadn't sent him something.
Speaker 1: His actual baby.
Speaker 2: But like I was debating if I would like try
Speaker 2: to come home for the if they are not, and
Speaker 2: then if that was the case, I would have wanted
Speaker 2: to give him a present in person. Yeah, So I
Speaker 2: waited till I decided not to go to set the card.
Speaker 2: But I'm definitely going to reach out to her in
Speaker 2: like two days if she still hasn't said anything, Yeah,
Speaker 2: be like, hey, can you check your mail? I sent
Speaker 2: something for Luca.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like that. I don't think there's anything
Speaker 1: just like wrong asking. Yeah, but I get the Minnesota
Speaker 1: nice Also, if I was your sister, i'd probably be
Speaker 1: mad at you too, Jenny, And I guess it. Listen,
Speaker 1: I get it. It's funny. I like, I get both
Speaker 1: sides of it because I totally get where you're coming from.
Speaker 1: Like my sister used to only live like two hours away,
Speaker 1: but that was easy. Like I would totally go home
Speaker 1: on like a weekend, but she knew I wasn't going
Speaker 1: to come home for other stuff, Like I wasn't going
Speaker 1: to come home if they were in a school play
Speaker 1: or this, I would. I would always drive home for
Speaker 1: their birthday and then, like big holidays, two hours is
Speaker 1: significantly different than was your five or six. It's no,
Speaker 1: it's like four and a half two five depends on
Speaker 1: how many potty breaks I t so it's yeah, it's different.
Speaker 1: So but like if yeah, if they didn't get a
Speaker 1: present like anytime, and I was in my mind like
Speaker 1: is this bitch not even sending a gift, then I
Speaker 1: would start building it up in my head and I'd
Speaker 1: be like, I'd be shitty about it. Like I was
Speaker 1: shitty about my sister sending me a Venmo for my
Speaker 1: birthday this year, because I was like, dude, normally send
Speaker 1: me a Venmo anytime, but for my fortieth birthday.
Speaker 2: Oh, I was gonna say, yeah, for your fortieth time.
Speaker 1: I spent so much money on her. And it's not
Speaker 1: even about the money. I like all, but I do
Speaker 1: keep saying that in my head. I mean I literally
Speaker 1: threw her a surprise party. I paid for the entire thing,
Speaker 1: had it catered, bought her a crazy I bought her
Speaker 1: a crazy expensive purse, crazy expensive. And this bitch didn't
Speaker 1: even send me a card and venmoed me cash like
Speaker 1: every other birthday we'vevo each other. I don't care. I
Speaker 1: don't need a car. I'm gonna throw it away. But
Speaker 1: I was so mad. I was like, so, but you
Speaker 1: get a little bit more yeah, weird about your own
Speaker 1: kids than you do about yourself too.
Speaker 2: Have you expressed to your sister before that you don't
Speaker 2: like cards? Because no, okay, so my sister I'm talking
Speaker 2: about is Rachel, and Rachel does not like cards. She
Speaker 2: has always overly expressed how she thinks cards are such
Speaker 2: a waste of money.
Speaker 1: Whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I sent Luca a card with a gift card
Speaker 2: in it, but I literally got the cheapest card I
Speaker 2: could find because I was sitting.
Speaker 1: In a gift card. You have to put it in something, right,
Speaker 1: of course. And also I think for the kids it's
Speaker 1: fine because they like to get mail to open, you know,
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't even know what that kid needs anymore,
Speaker 2: because I he you know, his interests changed constantly.
Speaker 1: And I do. Even if all would tell you something
Speaker 1: she likes this week, next week, you'd be different, right,
Speaker 1: So it's like it's impossible.
Speaker 2: But I feel like I almost facetimed them yesterday to
Speaker 2: be like, how was the party because I felt like
Speaker 2: I hadn't heard anything. Yeah, in a group family snapchat.
Speaker 2: I didn't get any snapchats all day. To be fair,
Speaker 2: they're always there, maybe busy during this hourday party, so
Speaker 2: I'm not concerned about that, but like like no pictures
Speaker 2: or anything. And I swear that my little sister said
Speaker 2: that she also had Oh she had a wedding on Saturday,
Speaker 2: so I think my little sister also like was saying.
Speaker 1: That she might not be there.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, Rachel, if you're listening, I don't
Speaker 2: know if you ever listened to this. I know Katie does.
Speaker 2: But Rachel, I'm sorry to make it home. I'm a
Speaker 2: bad sister sometimes I know I make it worse for you.
Speaker 2: Just then, Jenny, No, I've been contemplating the fact that
Speaker 2: I should have just gone home, and it was more
Speaker 2: selfish than anything, because I really just didn't want to
Speaker 2: deal with the travel aspect of it.
Speaker 1: I get it.
Speaker 2: I'm sure she gets it too. Yeah, it's very hard.
Speaker 2: Like I feel like I needed this past weekend to
Speaker 2: really get some sleep for once and also to not
Speaker 2: do anything. But then of course I just felt like
Speaker 2: shit because there was like Saturday, I felt like I
Speaker 2: didn't accomplish a lot of things I wanted to. But
Speaker 2: I felt like I just kind of needed it because
Speaker 2: I don't know, life just was really hectic in August
Speaker 2: into September, and so I wanted a weekend of not
Speaker 2: having to be on pretty much anyone else's time. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and there was only one obligation I had to go to,
Speaker 2: and I went to it for a couple hours and
Speaker 2: then I left.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So well, I would say, to summarize, you're not
Speaker 1: a bad person, You're the only this is the thing.
Speaker 1: It sucks when you're the one that always has to travel.
Speaker 1: It just does. And it like that's how I would get,
Speaker 1: Like if I wanted to see my family, I knew
Speaker 1: i'd have to fly out to see them always. My
Speaker 1: sister is actually good about it, like she'll fly here
Speaker 1: from Florida and stuff, but I always knew, like it sucked
Speaker 1: that it was only on me if I wanted to
Speaker 1: see my dad, et cetera. So it's a heavy burden
Speaker 1: if you leave home and you have family that kind
Speaker 1: of stay at home base. So I don't actually think
Speaker 1: you should feel bad. I was mostly just being an asshole,
Speaker 1: well not about the card part. If that shit got
Speaker 1: there two weeks late, I would be judging. You'd be like,
Speaker 1: what a cheap ass. I know you have a fancy,
Speaker 1: famous radio job. You could obviously send your nephew a
Speaker 1: freaking gift, Jenny. It's what I'd be thinking in my
Speaker 1: head if I hadn't received anything.
Speaker 2: The thing is that, like, my dad is so so
Speaker 2: bad at presents. I'm pretty sure he got my sister
Speaker 2: and her husband a wedding president like a year and
Speaker 2: a half.
Speaker 1: After all, I'm not, you know, And I'm.
Speaker 2: Pretty sure he's like missed most of the kid's birthdays,
Speaker 2: like he lives right there or it's like a month later.
Speaker 2: So I don't feel too bad about that one, Like yeah,
Speaker 2: whatever it Yeah, I probably could have had it in
Speaker 2: the mail sooner. But I genuinely was like, well, maybe
Speaker 2: I'll come home, and I would have wanted to give
Speaker 2: him a present in person if that was the case,
Speaker 2: so I didn't want to send it the week before anyways,
Speaker 2: I'm just like trying to deflect, all right.
Speaker 1: Well, anytime you want to email us, you can and
Speaker 1: we will turn around and talk about how we're feeling. Yes,
Speaker 1: because that is what we will do. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: If you will do an email Fallon at KATIWB dot
Speaker 1: com or Jenny at KATYWB dot com. Thank you for
Speaker 1: listen listening
