00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:11,199
I always like to do something special for Valentine's Day.

30
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,800
Last year, I had Nathan the Cat Lady and trap

31
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:21,080
King Davis Stirling and I made them blush because they

32
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,319
were both single at the time. I cannot report on

33
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:25,840
the status of their relationships at this time. I do

34
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,919
not know, but they were single at the time and

35
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:31,520
had I made them play cat related pickup lines with me,

36
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,599
and some of them got a little racy, and I

37
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,719
remember I'm pretty sure I used one of Christie's yep

38
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,479
for the show. Yeah, so Christy was one of the

39
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:43,639
ones that gave me inspiration for those racy hiccup lines.

40
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,680
So this war you guys are a married couples. We're

41
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,000

42
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:53,120
I interviewed my husband and we basically just talked about

43
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,199
how hard it is to be a parent to all

44
00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,000

or whiskey with water. I think it was.

73
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,399
Speaker 1: I think there's a couple dropped water in it.

74
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Well I'm not keeping it mysterious. I'm having

75
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:35,800
a drink I created, which is a guava berry hibiscus margarita.

76
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,600
I'm calling it a guava berry love punch. And it

77
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,360

I just yeah, cheers. It does sound good. It is good.

84
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,279
And I was just shouting out to you, Sterling about

85
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,279
how you were a good sport last year joining me

86
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,839
for Valentine's Day and all those very racy pickup lines.

87
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,120
So I want to start the show with a game

88
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,279
that's kind of inspired by the newly Weed game. So

89
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:23,399
you guys are married and I'm gonna find I'm a

90
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,519
dig into the whole history here and I'm missed to

91
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,040
do this, but I want to play Curious Kitty. This

92
00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:33,720
is my Curious Kitty. This is where I keep the questions,

93
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,519
but I chose them today. I usually just pull them out,

94
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,399
but I picked them because I feel like these are

95
00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:41,480
going to be better for a couple. You're going to

96
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,199
answer for the other person, so I promise they won't

97
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:50,959
be racy this time, but they're just kind of so

98
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,399
we can gauge how well you know each other and

99
00:05:53,439 --> 00:05:54,639
how long a you known each other.

100
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,879
Speaker 1: We've known each other for almost thirteen years twelve and

101
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,800
a half, and we've been married for just over ten

102
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,680
We celebrated our tenth anniversary in December of last year.

103
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:06,959
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you guys are about the same as

108
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:27,120
Uh jay? Yeah? All right, let's see. I'm gonna start

00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,360
with Christy and you're gonna answer for Sid. Does did

110
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,800

111
00:06:33,959 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: Right?

112
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 3: Okay, Sid? What is Christie's favorite spice to cook with?

113
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: Salt?

114
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,199
Speaker 3: Yeah? Alright, that's what because I wouldn't have said salt.

115
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,439
I'm with you over salt things? Is that? What is

116
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,240
this like? A is this like a like an inside

117
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:54,959
joke that you're always like making everybody like swell up

118
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,920
after dinner? Well, I hope we don't oversell.

119
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,319
Speaker 2: I always tell him whenever I make like, if you

120
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,560
don't like anything about it, you have to tell me

121
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:04,800
otherwise the next time I make it, I'm gonna make

122
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,920
it the same way, and you're gonna have to like

123
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:09,240
eat it because you said that you liked it and

124
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:14,199
you didn't correct anything wrong. So honestly, it's helpful in

125
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,120
our house. And no I put so much salt on

126
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,800
our food though, and.

127
00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:19,439
Speaker 1: It's delightful every time.

128
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 3: So in fact, god, you know, I'm a salt I'm

129
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,560
a salt lover. It's short on salt, it's short on taste.

130
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:29,959
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, salt and butter, Yeah, oh, butter.

131
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: And bread too, right, Like, let's just stop bot at all?

132
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,399
Might as well? All right, the next one sid of

133
00:07:38,439 --> 00:07:42,319
these three, which would be Christie's choice cookies cake or

134
00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:47,120
candy cake cake? See, I'm a candy person. Okay, all right,

135
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,480
Christy for SID, would he choose lemons, limes or oranges?

136
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:56,399
Speaker 2: Well, so he gets limes and lemons and foods I do.

137
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,199
Speaker 1: And there's a story behind why, but I'll let her continue.

138
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:01,439
Speaker 2: Technically I could say lime or lemon. I think it

139
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:02,160
could be right.

140
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: That's amazing, that's amazing. Okay, what's the story behind the

141
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:09,800
lemons and the limes? Could use? They're different colors.

142
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,319
Speaker 1: Yes, they're very different colors. And the thing is, though,

143
00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:15,399
growing up in India, for me, like the word for

144
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:19,000
if now, if here have any other Indian folks are listening,

145
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,920
we'd be like, you's totally wrong. But growing up like

146
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,399
the word was nimbu. I didn't know if it was

147
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,480
lemon or lime, and so when I got here, it

148
00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:28,399
was just kind of like it was a nimbu and

149
00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:31,839
so we just used the term and it's so yeah.

150
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,960
To this day, I'm still like, yeah, lemon, lime whatever

151
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,600
I mean, it's a great taste of lymon, for all

152
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:38,279
I know, so lymon.

153
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,639
Speaker 3: So it happens in Spanish too, like certain Spanish speakers

154
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,759
will say lemonez for both, and I was raised with

155
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:51,720
limas for the green and lemonis for the yellow. Then

156
00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:53,960
some people say lemon is there of this, and I'm like,

157
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,039
that is not a thing. Green? Lemon is a lime

158
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:02,039
like Okay, So I totally amerstand speaking of limes and

159
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,639
lemons and Spanish. Who's next? Who was I gonna ask next? Oh? Yeah, sit?

160
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,120
What would Christy order at a Mexican restaurant?

161
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:16,399
Speaker 1: I my the default would be oh, tacos al pastor oh.

162
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, order two, I'm having another one? Okay, yes, perfect, plightful.

163
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:24,840
All right, that's what's interesting, Christy, what is its favorite

164
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,399
Thanksgiving dish? What is the pizza?

165
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 2: As usually? Do you always just say pizza before me?

166
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yeah, that's spot on because we didn't really

167
00:09:36,039 --> 00:09:37,799
have like growing up. We would get together at like

168
00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:40,799
my grandparents place, and so sometimes we would do the

169
00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:43,080
traditional stuff. But we were also just like very happy

170
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,039
with round table pizza. No, no endorsement of a round

171
00:09:47,039 --> 00:09:49,879
table if you're listening, I'm open to it. But yeah,

172
00:09:49,919 --> 00:09:52,039
so we're big fans of pizza.

173
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,879
Speaker 3: Okay, I've never heard of round pizza. What's it like?

174
00:09:55,039 --> 00:09:55,480
Is it good?

175
00:09:55,759 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: It's the last honest pizza if you believe the marketing.

176
00:09:59,240 --> 00:09:59,519
Speaker 3: I think.

177
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,879
Speaker 1: I didn't know if it was everywhere, just a California think.

178
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,159
Speaker 3: But I've never heard of it.

179
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: Very delightful.

180
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: You know, Washington has it too. They have the belt

181
00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:09,840
is somehow like curl they like curl up and then

182
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,000
they hold the little reason side and the top is

183
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:14,360
the perfect crunchiness like it's legit.

184
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Christy, you've been hanging out with pets too long, right,

185
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:21,080
My god, that sounded like exactly like my dogs would

186
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,799
describe like a snossage. They'd be like, and it's perfect,

187
00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:26,679
and it's like really greasy, and it just like smells

188
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:29,240
so stinky, and it's just it's just so good when

189
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,000
it hits the lips all that good stuff. Okay, that

190
00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:35,799
is so funny. Okay, Sid how much water does Christy

191
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:39,240
drink every day? Gallons? Like gallas?

192
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:43,039
Speaker 1: She has this was it forty ounce? The forty five

193
00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:45,759
yet with the straw and that she goes through probably

194
00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:48,440
three or four of those at least during the day.

195
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is so good. I wish I had that problem.

196
00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:53,639
I don't drink enough. I mean unless it's in a

197
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,000
like a cocktail glass that it's got the quwa and

198
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:57,399
it's hard for you drink it.

199
00:10:57,399 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: It's all about the straw.

200
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 3: The straw does hels It just idle great, the straws key,

201
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,879
the straws key, I think. And it's so bad because

202
00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:09,039
the paper straws are awful, and then I hate washing straws,

203
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,919
so like the reusable straws are just like such a

204
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,600
bane of my existence. So it is it's hard, but yes,

205
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:19,360
the straws make all the difference. Okay, last one for

206
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,480
I guess it was for Christy?

207
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, great, yes, yeah, I got the water.

208
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, perfect. So if SIB could try time travel,

209
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:31,960
where would he go?

210
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: Goodness?

211
00:11:34,919 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: I haven't even necessarily thought about where I would time

212
00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:37,440
travel too.

213
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 3: Okay, and then while she's thinking, maybe Sid, you tell

214
00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:42,639
us where do you think Christy would go? Again?

215
00:11:42,759 --> 00:11:45,279
Speaker 1: Also a good question. I would have to say it

216
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,639
would have to involve somewhere buy an ocean, gray and rainy,

217
00:11:51,159 --> 00:11:53,799
potentially misty, where she gets to wear performance out or

218
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:58,840
where so either like up to Seattle somewhere cold, rainy.

219
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: But like time travel so like in the eighties, in

220
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:05,440
the eighties with a member of his only jacket or.

221
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: When Yeah, I would say back in the eighties, me

222
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:09,639
buy some real estate.

223
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,399
Speaker 3: Oh that that would be amazing. Yes, that's all drew up.

224
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,919
Speaker 2: I feel like for you, you would go. All I

225
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,679
keep seeing is like then please, I don't know if

226
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,120
there's a specific time, but like sometime, like maybe when

227
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,480
golf was being invented, to like be there when golf

228
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,320
is being invented.

229
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: That's actually kind of what I was thinking about to like.

230
00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, really, you thought an avid golfer.

231
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: I love the game. I just haven't been able to

232
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:33,759
really play in a while, but I absolutely love it. Like, yeah,

233
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,000
it's if I could choose to do anything with my

234
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,759
day besides me with Christie and the kids and get

235
00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:40,600
paid for it, it would be being out on a

236
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,159
golf course. So yeah, I'm a huge fan.

237
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: So my husband loves it too. And I'm sure you

238
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:48,600
have a lot of beautiful places to play in California.

239
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: We're pretty spoiled at her. Yeah, there's some really nice

240
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:53,600
ones and I've been pretty lucky to play a few,

241
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,200
but the bucket list is long. So Scotland is somewhere

242
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,080
in the little golf and Whiskey trip to scott And

243
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:00,759
at some point.

244
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 3: So yes, okay, that sounds amazing. I'll click golf for that.

245
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,039
I was at Pebble Beach once ages ago, but only

246
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,200
for the spa, so I couldn't speak to the course,

247
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:15,919
but the spallwood top not nice.

248
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: We've been there several times with French fries and champagne

249
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,039
on the belt overlooking the eighteen. It's the best place

250
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:22,200
to be.

251
00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:26,399
Speaker 3: That sounds amazing. No, I was there by myself, so

252
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,440
I wasn't a spawn. I feel like that sounds like

253
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,679
really good. And then add the spat to it. Okay,

254
00:13:30,759 --> 00:13:33,559
so you were both on my show separately in the

255
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,879
past couple of years, and so I but a lot

256
00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:38,120
of people may not know who you are and why

257
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,519
you're so special to me and why I think so

258
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,600
highly of you. So you both have companies where you

259
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,840
sell products, but those products are first of all amazing

260
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,279
and second of all they support animal welfare. So Christy,

261
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:54,960
why don't you start us off and tell us about

262
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,480
Specs I Wear, what it is and how you help

263
00:13:58,519 --> 00:13:59,320
animals with it.

264
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 2: So in twenty twenty two, I started an online only

265
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,840
iWar a company called Specs Iwear, Inc. We sell prescription

266
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:13,759
and non prescription glasses and sunglasses, and we donate one

267
00:14:13,799 --> 00:14:16,639
hundred percent of profits, but more so, ten percent of

268
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,840
your purchase price to an animal organization. So we have

269
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,240
I think eighteen or nineteen different partners that we donate to.

270
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,120
So when you check out, you just have to pick

271
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,559
which organization or if you say no preference, we pick

272
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:34,799
for you. And it's a great way to use I

273
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,279
think that we're going to say the same thing here

274
00:14:36,519 --> 00:14:39,200
to like, have a product that a lot of people

275
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:42,279
use on a daily basis, and if it's something that

276
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,679
people are going to buy anyway, why not buy from

277
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,919
a company that does something really good for those pet

278
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,639
lovers that are our animal lovers that are out there.

279
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 3: Amazing. I love that. And so your company, your product

280
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,279
sid is very similar in that you donate one hundred

281
00:14:58,279 --> 00:15:02,240
percent of profits we do to animal welfare, but tell

282
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,480
us about what you sell.

283
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,879
Speaker 1: So if you're hear anything in the background, by the way,

284
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:09,440
that's Freddie. He's here in his little wagon. He wants

285
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,919
some attention as well, so you might here arking.

286
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:14,279
Speaker 3: Well, pet cameos are always welcome here.

287
00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:17,799
Speaker 1: Fair enough, we will we will see if he's camera ready,

288
00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:21,440
So are so four pauses. The name of the spirits

289
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,120
and Booster pauses. The company and the idea is essentially

290
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,399
like the same thing. So people are going to drink.

291
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:29,559
We don't necessari encourage anyone to drink, obviously that isn't already,

292
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:31,919
but if you are of legal drinking age and you

293
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,639
wish to do a good thing while you enjoy a

294
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:40,440
tasty beverage. We have five different spirits. We've got Bourbon, single,

295
00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:44,240
Multi American whiskey, Rye whiskey, vodka, and gin and same

296
00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:47,159
thing on. Hundred percent of our profits go to nonprofit

297
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,600
animal rescue. So the hope is that people are going

298
00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:52,200
to do something anyway, and why not be able to

299
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,240
capture some of the resources that come from that and

300
00:15:55,279 --> 00:15:57,879
give them to smaller nonprofits that don't get the national

301
00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:00,159
attention that really are kind of on the front line

302
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,159
doing the work every day.

303
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,399
Speaker 3: So that's the whole anyway, Absolutely, I love both the concept.

304
00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:08,919
I love the products. I will say that Christy has

305
00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:12,000
come up with some amazing names for her frames, which

306
00:16:12,039 --> 00:16:15,320
I think adds a whole layer. You know when you're

307
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,039
there that this is a cat lover who knows cats.

308
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,519
When you read those, that was not like some like

309
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,080
disconnected marketing team coming up with those that you can

310
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,240
tell by the names that she knows her cats. And

311
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,159
one of the other things I love is that you

312
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,000
guys kind of inspired each other to pursue these things.

313
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,600
So what which came first, Booster Pause or spex eyewear.

314
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: Booster Pause actually started first, and the idea kind of

315
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,559
happened way back. I think it was twenty sixteen is

316
00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:48,919
when we kind of started to germinate the idea, and

317
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,720
then it was just a process from there of kind

318
00:16:50,759 --> 00:16:53,240
of trying to get everything off the ground and get going.

319
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,879
So the launch was semi simultaneous. Specs actually launched products

320
00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:01,279
first in early twenty twenty, and then we came on

321
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,400
board or we launched like at the end of twenty

322
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:08,039
twenty two. So the company started first, but the products

323
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:11,839
came second, launched through the same year. Yeah, I love

324
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,319
it so much.

325
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,319
Speaker 3: Okay, and then let's talk about you guys. How did

326
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,839
you meet? But I have to check if the story's right.

327
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:19,799
Like when I interviewed my husband and he told me

328
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,240
how he proposed, I was like, that's not that's not

329
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,640
what happens. My god.

330
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: Now, I think we're pretty small on the on the

331
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,559
actual meeting and the whatever, but the thought process behind

332
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,240
what followed that might be a little different from both

333
00:17:32,279 --> 00:17:35,480
of us. It sounds fancier, like more again like saucy

334
00:17:35,519 --> 00:17:36,799
than it probably really is.

335
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: So there's that.

336
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: But anywhere, let's see, I had just moved from Seattle

337
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,400
down to San Luis Obispo and and there for just

338
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,079
a couple of months, and I didn't know very many people.

339
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,960
It was a Friday night, and I'm a big Washington

340
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,759
Heskies football fan, so I wanted to go watch They

341
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,839
were playing cal that night, and I figured that because

342
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,960
it's the California team, maybe they would put it all

343
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:01,880
on the TV in the bar because sometimes they won't

344
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,400
blah blah. So I went to this one specific place,

345
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,400
sat down at the bar, asked for the game to

346
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,920
be put on. And when I watch football, I watch football.

347
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,039
I don't want people talking to me. I want to

348
00:18:12,039 --> 00:18:15,000
be able to watch the game, enjoy my beverage, have

349
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,920
some food, and wash my game because I didn't have

350
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,279
cable at the time, Like I'm there to watch money.

351
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,440
And he came and sat down next to me, and

352
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,799
thankfully he realized that. And like this guy next to

353
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:30,640
me who wanted to chat my ear off and was

354
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:34,119
driving me crazy. So he was very sweet and very

355
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,799
respectful and only talked during commercials. And he was so pretty.

356
00:18:39,079 --> 00:18:41,519
He had a white shirt on and a tie, and

357
00:18:41,559 --> 00:18:44,119
he rolled his sleeves all up and he ate chicken

358
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,359
with a knife and a fork, and his skin was

359
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,279
glowing and perfect. And I was like, there's this guy's

360
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,799
probably gay, or like if he's not gay, there's no

361
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:52,880
way he wants to.

362
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 4: Date this that I probably looked just like this T shirt,

363
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,200
Like I think I'm still sweaty from teaching. Like I

364
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,519
was like, he's going to date some beautiful business executive

365
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:05,119
that wears a pencil skirt and like we can just chat.

366
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,799
And so I had no guard up whatsoever and was

367
00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:10,440
able to just chat, which was nice. And he was

368
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:14,000
very friendly and then we got rided. We just chatted

369
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:17,599
for a while and then we want to take over sure, I.

370
00:19:17,599 --> 00:19:19,799
Speaker 1: Mean, that's all spot on. I was actually on my

371
00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:21,640
I lived in Fresno at the time, and I was

372
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,519
on my way back from Santa Barbara. I'd been working

373
00:19:24,599 --> 00:19:26,400
there for the day and very randomly. It was like

374
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,920
seven o'clock on a Friday night. I had one location

375
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,400
on the Central Coast that actually was carrying a different

376
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,119
vodka I had at the time. This is back in

377
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,839
twenty twelve, and I was literally at the exit on

378
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,839
the freeway. I had another three hour drive to come home,

379
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:39,160
and I was like, I'm hungry, I should eat, and

380
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,319
I pulled off went into this restaurant that had my vodka.

381
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,039
Was the only reason I knew of it, and walked

382
00:19:44,039 --> 00:19:46,960
in there only spot open was next to her at

383
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000
the bar, so I sat down and yeah, we started talking.

384
00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:52,359
She was watching football, and I knew to shut my

385
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,680
face when the football game was on because I would

386
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,839
want someone to not be talking while I'm trying to

387
00:19:56,839 --> 00:19:58,440
watch a game. So I was like, that's cool, do

388
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,960
our thing. And I didn't get a hamburger and fries,

389
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,839
which is what I wanted to, because I was like, no,

390
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,680
I don't want to make a mask. I must spill

391
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,680
something on my white shirt. She's gonna think I'm a clown.

392
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,960
And so I got the chicken. And that's why I

393
00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:11,480
was like, trying to be very proper with my chicken

394
00:20:11,559 --> 00:20:13,960
so I wouldn't flow it on myself. Almost put my

395
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:15,519
napkin in my shirt, but I was like, no, that

396
00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:17,160
might be a little too much, so I didn't do

397
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,440
that part of it. But yeah, So we were just

398
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,720
friends for a while. We chatted here and there, and

399
00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:24,480
then summer after my thirteen we really started talking more

400
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,160
and more and hung out on a just a football, like, hey,

401
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,039
let's watch our teams were playing each other and so

402
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,240
we're like, hey, let's just hang out. And that turned

403
00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:35,039
into our first date, and that turned into the rest

404
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:35,559
of our lives.

405
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,519
Speaker 3: Oh, this is the most romantic thing I've ever heard

406
00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:41,680
about football. I would have been the person talking through

407
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,279
the whole game, because I have zero interest in football.

408
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,640
I don't care. Don Anicia my husband and my husband's

409
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,400
having like the best week of his life because the

410
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,680
Eagles just went the Super Bowl. He's all excited and like,

411
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,839
I have to take feign excitement too, like the eagles

412
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,799
covers like who can? So I would both of you

413
00:21:01,839 --> 00:21:04,480
would have been like not her? So I love it

414
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,359
so much. And then now you all share your life

415
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:11,960
with five cats and two dogs. And what fascinates me

416
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,640
about a home with that many pets and seven pets?

417
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,880
For those were not good in math, it's a lot.

418
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,920
That's a lot of pets and two different species. And

419
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,240
for those that aren't really familiar with cats, sometimes introducing

420
00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:27,039
cats to each other is even harder than dogs and cats.

421
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:29,000
Even though people say like fighting like cats and dogs,

422
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:31,720
it's actually cats and cats sometimes all the way. So

423
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,920
how's that experience been. And did you always know when

424
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,319
you were dating that like you were gonna be like

425
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,640
these crazy pet people.

426
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: We had absolutely no idea that we were going to

427
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,839
be these crazy pet people. Pukins actually had adopted us.

428
00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:48,480
So we'd just gotten married and a few months later

429
00:21:48,519 --> 00:21:50,960
we were living in this condo a couple levels and

430
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,039
Pukins was there was this we lived in, like a

431
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:57,000
three story condo, and right next to us was this

432
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,400
house with this over grown yard in the back of

433
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:00,799
there's a bunch of ca that were out there and

434
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,480
Christy would go out in the morning on her patio

435
00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:05,519
second floor, overlooked the little area with her coffee and

436
00:22:05,559 --> 00:22:07,759
she talked to the cats. Well, one of them took

437
00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:09,839
that as an invitation to come over and say hello,

438
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,480
and she did, and so we let her go. A

439
00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:14,039
couple of nights, We're like, she's not ours, she's just

440
00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:15,680
gonna whatever. But then third night we're like, if she

441
00:22:15,759 --> 00:22:18,359
comes back, she staying. And so she came back and

442
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,119
she stayed, and we tried to call the phone number

443
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,400
on her tag. There was no the number was as connected,

444
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,559
the microship didn't work, any of that stuff, and we're like, ah, are.

445
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,039
Speaker 3: Eight, you're ours.

446
00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:29,839
Speaker 1: And then she opened the floodgates to everybody else.

447
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 3: There's always one, there's always one that's fully responsible for

448
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:37,279
the craziness that ensues. So it was Hookins. And how

449
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:40,720
about the dogs? Like, were you both only cat people?

450
00:22:40,759 --> 00:22:42,160
Did you grow up with pets?

451
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 2: I grew up. I had dogs growing up. We had

452
00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:47,799
just one family ag at a time, with a shelte

453
00:22:47,839 --> 00:22:50,160
when I was like five, and then we got a

454
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,440
jack Ristle Terrier when I was a junior in high

455
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,720
school after Ceezy had passed. So and then I didn't

456
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,680
get to be with her. Name's roxy. You didn't get

457
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,319
to be with her for very long because then I

458
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,680
moved out college blah blah blah. But so just the

459
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,920
two dogs growing up. And then I always had like frogs,

460
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,640
lizards at a couple of guinea pigs. We had some

461
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,039
like hamsters, so we had lots of like little fish.

462
00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:13,960
I always had some other little tiny creature. I really

463
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,319
liked the lizards and the frogs though, And then I

464
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,160
had a cat for a little bit after, but then

465
00:23:21,519 --> 00:23:24,200
it went with an ex so I like to be.

466
00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 3: Back then very long.

467
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,759
Speaker 2: And then I was pless for a while. And how

468
00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:34,039
Freddy came along was we were both volunteering at the

469
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:38,039
local shelter during COVID. We were going in and walking dogs,

470
00:23:38,519 --> 00:23:43,359
and we had four cats at that point, and I

471
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,440
had really been kind of just talking strongly about dogs

472
00:23:47,519 --> 00:23:51,119
and I haven't maybe hitting one at some point in

473
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,759
our lives, and then being around so many dogs that

474
00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:55,759
needed homes, it was like, oh, this is really hard.

475
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,440
And then one day this little tiny puppy that he

476
00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:02,240
was only nine pounds was brought in by somebody that

477
00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:05,799
had found him in a field, and I saw him

478
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:11,319
and I immediately fell in love. And thankfully the shelter

479
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,400
worker that was on duty that day he kind of

480
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,400
figured that out too, So we were looking at him

481
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,480
and he was like, well, Christy, could you just hold

482
00:24:19,599 --> 00:24:21,359
him real quick while I cleaned his kettle.

483
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 5: I was like, yes, so you picked up the tiny

484
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,519
little puppy and then use oh but ch arms. What

485
00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:30,440
sid like was sheltered pretty much, and then he had

486
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,319
to do a five day stray hold, which was horrific

487
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,160
every single day.

488
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,079
Speaker 2: I mean like, if his family came back fround, great,

489
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,680
that's great. But he's found in a field, so I

490
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,519
doubted it. Family wasn't found. We got to adopt him.

491
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,200
So that's how Freddy came in and let you talk about.

492
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: Every well, I'll be I guess he's our oops oops

493
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,000
puppy in a year and a half now. So Christy

494
00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:51,759
was actually out running errands and going grocery shopping and

495
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,400
one of the places where she went there was this

496
00:24:54,519 --> 00:24:58,319
dog like running around the sidewalk and clearly not belonging

497
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,640
to anyone, and she was like, this dog is going

498
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,119
to get hit, So got him, coaxed him over, took

499
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,680
him to a vet hospital around the corner microchip, but

500
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,480
nothing registered to it. Same thing register him at the

501
00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:14,720
Humane Society, all that stuff. Nobody stepped up and we're like, okay,

502
00:25:14,759 --> 00:25:18,559
I guess we have another dog now. So it kind

503
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:21,240
of random though, because he's been Freddy's protector and like

504
00:25:21,759 --> 00:25:26,160
Freddie's bodyguard, and he's fiercely protective of both Christy and Freddy.

505
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,880
So it's amazing. And Freddie has his stroller that he

506
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,240
goes for walks in and since day one has just

507
00:25:32,319 --> 00:25:34,519
kind of fallen in right next to the stroller. It's

508
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:35,599
pretty incredible.

509
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,079
Speaker 3: He's Freddy older, he's four.

510
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: No, he's got a he developed a neurological condition at

511
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,720
about a year and a half, like neuromuscular. It's called

512
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,799
mitochondra myopathy. So essentially his cells just don't make enough

513
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,960
energy and so he can't get around by himself. So

514
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,599
he's a little weekly sometimes with us when he wants

515
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,200
attention or but yeah, he so we.

516
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 3: Pick him up.

517
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: Well, mainly Christie's been his one hundred percent primary caregiver. Heed. Yeah,

518
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:09,759
and he's uh, he's the little type of stuff. So Preddy. Sorry,

519
00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:13,079
long answer to your question is no, he's still pretty young,

520
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,440
but he looks like he's older just because of his

521
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,519
condition and because he can't get around, so it's when

522
00:26:19,519 --> 00:26:22,279
we're out walks, but like, oh old, and it's like

523
00:26:22,279 --> 00:26:22,960
he's not that old.

524
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 6: But so I don't even think I knew you had

525
00:26:27,279 --> 00:26:33,160
him all. You're so prescious he's oh my gosh. And

526
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,480
so how does he get along with the cats? How

527
00:26:35,519 --> 00:26:36,640
does everybody get along?

528
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,519
Speaker 1: He actually gets along fairly well with the cats. He

529
00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:43,200
will bark at anyone coming out of the letterbox for

530
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,960
whatever reason. That's this thing I like, he just has

531
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,279
to bark at them. But mostly he gets along with them.

532
00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:54,720
Abbi not so much. He Freddy does not want to

533
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,839
be close to him. He's come a long way, don't

534
00:26:56,839 --> 00:26:59,319
get me wrong. From the beginning, like they couldn't even

535
00:26:59,319 --> 00:27:01,319
be in the same room, but now they could be

536
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,559
on the same couch. Far enough apart, but like Abbie

537
00:27:04,599 --> 00:27:06,599
loves him and wants to be like in his dish

538
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,200
the whole time, and Freddy's like just like a snapping

539
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,160
turtle jaws trying to eat Ubby's feake.

540
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 3: But you're coming on too strong, Yes, he's yeah.

541
00:27:15,559 --> 00:27:18,759
Speaker 1: Abi Lapeu is what we call him because he's full on,

542
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,720
like pepy law my Gosh.

543
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 3: If there's anybody too young watching this, they're gonna be like,

544
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,920
who's peppy La Pew? The wasub notched this quarter ever,

545
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,640
But yes, pepe La Pew, but he was. He came

546
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,480
on strong. Definitely, cats up get along. Have you had

547
00:27:32,519 --> 00:27:35,200
to do any kind of like training to like introduce

548
00:27:35,279 --> 00:27:37,519
them and things like that, or do you guys have

549
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,640
like since you've done this so many times, you're just

550
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,400
pretty good at it.

551
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 2: No, with who cans. We thought that she wanted a friend,

552
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:46,319
so that's when we introduced Elbie to her.

553
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: She didn't want a friend.

554
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,519
Speaker 3: We didn't want They usually don't. I'm not a cat

555
00:27:51,559 --> 00:27:54,960
behavior expert, but every time I've spoken to one or

556
00:27:55,079 --> 00:27:58,599
heard one speak at like a conference, usually they're pretty

557
00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:02,119
happy alone unless they're like part of a bonded pair,

558
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,119
and then of course you can't separate them and they

559
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,119
want to be with that other being. But yeah, they're

560
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,119
usually pretty good.

561
00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: We learned that the hard way. So poor Elbie was

562
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,359
stuck in a room for a long time trying to

563
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,519
do like and swapping and the feeding each other on

564
00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:18,440
either side of the door. And we'd been told, like,

565
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,880
definitely get a male because Pubin's is female, and then

566
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,519
somebody else said like, it's not about sex, it's about temperaments.

567
00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 3: So then we were like, yo, this was really really sweet,

568
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,920
so I'm sure they're gonna love each other. They didn't.

569
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 2: They don't really like each other at all. The third one, Linus,

570
00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:38,440
he's just like a sweet angel of a boy. He

571
00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:42,319
can get growley and bit more sometimes playful, but it's not.

572
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,960
But he just wanted to play with the girls so badly.

573
00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:47,480
They didn't really want to play with him. And we

574
00:28:48,039 --> 00:28:51,480
learned that his brother was actually still up for adoption,

575
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,839
which we didn't know about because he had been separated

576
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,359
out from his litter because he had broken his hip

577
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,079
and had to go in for emergency surgery, so he

578
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,480
was staying with the metal, so we didn't know anybody

579
00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:03,160
was still left. So once we found out that his

580
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,640
brother was still available, we were like, well, I guess

581
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,680
we have four cats now.

582
00:29:06,799 --> 00:29:09,279
Speaker 3: So they took like a day.

583
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,119
Speaker 2: And they were like, wait a minute, I know you

584
00:29:11,319 --> 00:29:14,400
and then it's separable, so how is it really easy?

585
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:14,920
Is your dips?

586
00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:18,279
Speaker 3: Bell was awesome? And then George, like our last one.

587
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: We got him when he was a tiny baby, so

588
00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:24,240
he stayed in a little apartment. We called it like

589
00:29:24,279 --> 00:29:26,640
a little round about you know that had his other

590
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,839
box said, so we had it right in the middle

591
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,759
of our living room, so everybody got to come over

592
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,400
and get good sniffs with him and get to know him.

593
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,759
And he's I think he was actually the missing link.

594
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,400
He's kind of brought everybody together. He's the one that

595
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,519
can go around. Everybody tolerates him, if not has a

596
00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:46,319
great time with him, like he's he's awesome. They all

597
00:29:46,359 --> 00:29:48,880
have their moments like I see el we've given Pukin's

598
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,559
the evil.

599
00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:51,359
Speaker 3: Eye right now and have for more or later, I

600
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,519
don't know. But oh we actually with Kara of rob Hodventures,

601
00:29:55,799 --> 00:29:58,440
we heard like during my Halloween episode, like are we

602
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,640
so the first time if there was a little encounter

603
00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:06,400
or confrontation, it's just part for the course here. Yeah,

604
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,480
I know, I know golf terms. I do. Yeah. Maybe

605
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,160
it's like it is so nice to see to hear

606
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,200
that like George kind of brought everybody together like that

607
00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:18,640
tends to happen sometimes where it's like it's kind of

608
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:23,799
like children, where it like the child or like an

609
00:30:23,839 --> 00:30:27,480
unexpected child might like complete the family. It seems to

610
00:30:27,599 --> 00:30:30,799
happen sometimes with pets too, where they kind of bring

611
00:30:30,839 --> 00:30:33,119
in some balance. And when I my husband and I

612
00:30:33,119 --> 00:30:35,160
got married, we each had two pets and we brought

613
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,119
them together, and there was one that everybody kind of

614
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,279
respected everybody, and he was the tiniest one. He was Radar.

615
00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:44,039
He was like twelve pounds and everybody else was big,

616
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:46,680
and everybody just listened to Radar. And we spoke to

617
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,880
an animal communicator who said, Radar sets the tone for

618
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,759
the home. And I was like, but I thought that

619
00:30:51,759 --> 00:30:54,799
would be me or my husband. He's like, no, no, Radar,

620
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:59,200
Radar does that. I'm like, okay, So, yeah, that's so cool.

621
00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:02,720
I love that so much. So Tomorrow's Valentine's Day? Are

622
00:31:02,759 --> 00:31:06,440
you all big on giving Valentine's Day gifts to pet.

623
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that we've ever given them anything.

624
00:31:09,559 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 3: You like, seven's a lot. That's like a lot of

625
00:31:11,519 --> 00:31:13,599
Valentine's for pets, it is.

626
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: And then we don't want anyone to feel left out,

627
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,079
so it's like we'll try to sprinkle some treats in

628
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,200
during the day for everybody. Yeah, but yeah, mostly we

629
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,359
just yeah, I don't know, if you can see Pukins

630
00:31:24,359 --> 00:31:28,480
behind us, Yeah, she's rushing I'll forgive.

631
00:31:28,759 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I have no problem.

632
00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: He's just looking for a new family that will give

633
00:31:32,279 --> 00:31:32,640
her gift.

634
00:31:32,759 --> 00:31:35,119
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry. I just let your pets know that

635
00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:37,480
that's like a thing, and they weren't aware of it

636
00:31:37,559 --> 00:31:40,240
before and now they're like, wait a minute, like how

637
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,480
many Valentine's Days do they owe me for?

638
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,119
Speaker 1: I mean, we try to, and but we try to

639
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,119
do it more because we're also like between being able

640
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,160
to go places if like I'm out working, I have

641
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,559
a little more flexibility, and then Christie's you know, taking

642
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:57,799
care of all these monkeys and like I said, she's

643
00:31:57,799 --> 00:32:01,079
Praady's full time caregiver. So yeah, it's harder to be

644
00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:03,160
able to go out and just kind of pick things up.

645
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,400
So we try to do stuff just kind of honestly,

646
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,599
during the year, we try and just do like little

647
00:32:07,599 --> 00:32:11,119
things as much as we possibly can. So specifically, i'd

648
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,680
say we probably did before we had kids more than

649
00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:15,759
we do now.

650
00:32:16,559 --> 00:32:21,519
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm I always tell my husband

651
00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:25,519
whatever I want, I already bought for myself, so just

652
00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:29,279
don't please don't because I've already blown the budget. So

653
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,960
like if you add something to that, like just it's

654
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,920
not good. So we have like a rule against gifts

655
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,240
at my house, which I think works well because it

656
00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:41,240
takes the pressure off the other person. And I'm you know,

657
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,440
love languages. Gifts are neither one of ours, so it

658
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,480
works well for us. Like, you know, I just have

659
00:32:48,519 --> 00:32:50,599
to tell my husband how nice he looks in those

660
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,319
genes and like his whole day is made, like.

661
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: All it takes.

662
00:32:55,079 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all it takes. Okay, So how about eating

663
00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:03,000
out on Valentine's State? What are your thoughts on doing

664
00:33:03,079 --> 00:33:04,559
something that ludicrous?

665
00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you have to plan it way in advance

666
00:33:06,759 --> 00:33:10,000
to get a reservation first of all, so you got

667
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:10,440
to do that.

668
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:12,519
Speaker 2: I don't like that. A lot of restaurants now are

669
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:14,160
doing that, Like how do you say it?

670
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,519
Speaker 3: Like pre fee free fieks.

671
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, like I get that that makes sense for them,

672
00:33:19,039 --> 00:33:21,200
but like the whole reason for going to a restaurant

673
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,480
is because like I want to have a choice of

674
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:26,839
not too many things that's overwhelming, but like more than

675
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,759
like one thing, you know. So I don't love that

676
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,240
idea too, And I know that they're charging like a

677
00:33:35,319 --> 00:33:39,680
bazillion dollars more so lately we're not doing it. This year,

678
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,359
I was going to, but we've had Elbie's been a

679
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,599
little bit sick, so we've had some high vet bills recently.

680
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,480
So it's going to do like good meal tomorrow night.

681
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,680
And I'm like, we're not doing up. But that's usually

682
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,000
what I would do is go get some good, nicer

683
00:33:55,319 --> 00:33:57,359
step up and what we would normally eat or something

684
00:33:57,519 --> 00:34:00,440
and make something really nice for dinner. But yes, more

685
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,440
I think we're just going to have like maybe I'll.

686
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 3: Make pizza, yeah, exactly, something more simple. I love gat

687
00:34:06,519 --> 00:34:09,840
How about flowers? How do you feel about those?

688
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a huge fan of getting flowers, right

689
00:34:13,039 --> 00:34:16,480
to receive flowers, I'm good with not and honestly, like

690
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,159
with as many cats as we have floating around, our

691
00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:23,079
biggest concern is them getting into something, and ain't nobody

692
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:24,079
at time for that, So.

693
00:34:25,599 --> 00:34:28,159
Speaker 3: I'm never I'm not a big Yeah you're not into them.

694
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 2: I think they're beautiful, don't get me wrong. I love

695
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,239
I love flowers, but like getting them as a gift,

696
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,960
which I will always appreciate if someone does, obviously, but

697
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,599
it's not my favorite gift to get because then they

698
00:34:38,639 --> 00:34:40,440
die and then I have to do this and then

699
00:34:40,519 --> 00:34:43,039
the water smells disgusting, and then you have to sell

700
00:34:43,039 --> 00:34:46,119
them a vase, which usually gets like ichy inside.

701
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 3: You are my people, You are my I remember I

702
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,280
have actually I remember my mom. I was like seventeen

703
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,599
or nineteen. I had a boyfriend, and I remember like

704
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:58,360
bitching about having to wash the vase and my mom

705
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,039
being like, you are so spoiled, like your little boyfriend

706
00:35:02,079 --> 00:35:06,519
went and bought you roses, and here you are like complaining.

707
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,599
And to this day they know, and my husband knows

708
00:35:09,639 --> 00:35:11,840
that just cut flowers, just not for me. Get me

709
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,519
a plant, a snake plant, preferably, because I can't kill those.

710
00:35:15,599 --> 00:35:18,199
Somehow I got a bunch of them. I've never been

711
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,840
able to hurt them, so something like that to me

712
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,000
would be a lot more. I don't know red roses

713
00:35:24,559 --> 00:35:27,800
versus like other colors, which ones are prettier? Are you

714
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,840
a red rose person?

715
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen a rose that I

716
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,000
didn't like. I think roses are okay, honey.

717
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,079
Speaker 3: So for those that aren't familiar, Christy was a ballerina,

718
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,960
So I always imagined that you would say, like, no,

719
00:35:41,079 --> 00:35:43,519
I like a tea rose or something like oh.

720
00:35:43,639 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: I was always the one that would like sneak out

721
00:35:45,519 --> 00:35:47,679
the back door, like all of my friends would go

722
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,360
get there, all the praise and everything, and I was like,

723
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,199
my job is done. I have to go home now. Like,

724
00:35:52,559 --> 00:35:55,159
so you were not a prima donna, not the one

725
00:35:55,199 --> 00:35:59,239
I wanted to go get all of the love from people. Now,

726
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,719
Ca'll be the to bring flowers, Like, don't do that thing.

727
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 3: That's I don't like any Yeah, at the end of

728
00:36:04,039 --> 00:36:07,880
the show, yeah, you know, all right. So last question

729
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,760
I have about Valentine's Day silly holiday or like, do

730
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,039
you see the value in it?

731
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: Well, oh, okay, I see the conceptual value in it

732
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,480
if someone can take what that day is about and

733
00:36:24,519 --> 00:36:27,039
again kind of just spread it out over the year

734
00:36:27,079 --> 00:36:29,559
as opposed to like if someone's kind of using that

735
00:36:29,639 --> 00:36:31,920
day as the catch up of all the affection and

736
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,559
maybe not so much, but I think conceptually I dig it.

737
00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:37,880
And if people can actually focus on like, hey, it's

738
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,519
not about what you get or what you give someone

739
00:36:41,159 --> 00:36:43,440
as far as gifts, it's about the intent and it's

740
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,239
about the thoughtfulness behind it, then I'm all for it.

741
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, same say Christy.

742
00:36:49,559 --> 00:36:52,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that there's so much build up to it.

743
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,960
I think that so many people get like have these

744
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,480
big expectations and then if their poor partner doesn't do

745
00:36:58,519 --> 00:37:01,519
exactly what they the bloombly hope that they will do

746
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,199
or whatever, we're like dropping the hints or like, you know,

747
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,199
proposals gone wrong, and like there's just so much pressure.

748
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,079
I just feel bad for everybody that has like horrific

749
00:37:11,159 --> 00:37:14,559
Valentine's Day stories that because of all that pressure, Like.

750
00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 3: Yes, do you have to either one of you have

751
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,199
like an embarrassing Valentine's Day story?

752
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,519
Speaker 2: No, thankfully, I feel like that would pop right into

753
00:37:22,519 --> 00:37:24,880
my head if I did, and then thankfully I don't.

754
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 3: So my husband proposed on Valentine's Day weekend. Oh and

755
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,400
uh it was in two thousand and seven. No, no,

756
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,519
that's when we got married. So it's like two thousand

757
00:37:36,559 --> 00:37:40,079
and fourteen something like that, and we went away. It

758
00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:44,079
was like Volencide and Valentine's Day was a Friday. We

759
00:37:44,159 --> 00:37:46,159
wake up and we're going to go to a winery

760
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,440
in uh, Virginia for the weekend for Valentine's Day. And

761
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:54,400
he gives me a gift and it's obviously jewelry, and

762
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,159
we had been speaking about getting engaged, and so he

763
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,440
gives me this gift and it's a bracelet, and I'm like, well, great, right,

764
00:38:01,599 --> 00:38:04,360
like nice piece of jewelry, but not exactly what I

765
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,599
had in mind, buddy. And then we check into the

766
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,800
bed and Breakfast, beautiful place, name escapes me completely, and

767
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,320
then he gives me another gift in the evening again

768
00:38:14,639 --> 00:38:16,599
like a necklace, so like I could tell by the

769
00:38:16,639 --> 00:38:19,719
packaging that it was not what I had in mind.

770
00:38:20,119 --> 00:38:23,360
And then the next morning he really tricked me and

771
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,440
he gives me a tiny little box and it was

772
00:38:26,559 --> 00:38:32,920
ear rings. Finally, on February fifteenth, I remember seeing him

773
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,760
standing at attention at the Bed and Breakfast doing who

774
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,360
knows what, and I was like, oh, okay, I think

775
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,119
this is it. Because he was so nervous, he was dusted,

776
00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:46,119
he was all like awkward, He's like fumbling the box,

777
00:38:46,199 --> 00:38:49,039
and I'm like, I got the piece of jewelry I

778
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:52,960
was hoping for. That was what like ten no eleven

779
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:55,760
years ago, this weekend, and yeah, I finally got the

780
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,320
right piece of jewelry. And he thinks, you know, which

781
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,760
I thought was really good. But like, honestly, if that

782
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,239
hadn't finished the way that it did, I would have

783
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,119
been like womp, wom here I was thinking we were

784
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,119
this wasn't like this is the engagement weekend, and if

785
00:39:10,119 --> 00:39:12,719
it wasn't, then yeah, it would have been a lot disappointing.

786
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,519
And I feel like that happens to a lot of people,

787
00:39:15,079 --> 00:39:17,960
or like the people who are hoping for like a

788
00:39:18,039 --> 00:39:21,119
designer bag, and like just because it's Valentine's Day, the

789
00:39:21,159 --> 00:39:23,719
partner has to like figure out how to pay for it,

790
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,760
And I'm like, well that's not very fair, right, So

791
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,719
like someone's gonna either be broke or disappointed, Like those

792
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,920
are two very bad places to be. Though I agree

793
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,159
with you. We don't do Valentine's Day at all. My

794
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,440
kids have to do Valentine's Day at school, which means

795
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,000
that I need to once we wrap up here go

796
00:39:42,159 --> 00:39:47,320
address like forty Valentine's Day with two of my friend

797
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:51,079
from Noah and from Mela, because my kids are young

798
00:39:51,199 --> 00:39:53,599
enough that my friend will be a mess if they

799
00:39:53,639 --> 00:39:55,360
write it, so I have to write it for them.

800
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,400
I might make them write their name, but I don't

801
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:58,719
know if I have the patience for them to do

802
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,239
twenty each just before them. So as a parent, Valentine's

803
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,119
Day is also a little tedious. Sure, I do love

804
00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:09,920
Gallentine's Days? Do you guys like like the concept of

805
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,480
like girls getting together or like, I don't know, Guyantine's Day,

806
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:15,599
is that a thing where you like go have like

807
00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:16,880
a beer with your friend?

808
00:40:17,639 --> 00:40:20,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, it should absolutely be a thing, Guyantine's Day, and

809
00:40:20,639 --> 00:40:24,320
like golfing and drinking whiskey and drinking beer, Like, yes,

810
00:40:24,679 --> 00:40:26,440
absolutely that should be a thing. And I have no

811
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,000
problem with Gallentine's Day as well.

812
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, celebration, Yeah yeah, Celebrating the love that you

813
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,400
have with friends and family and pets is so much

814
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,119
better than like forcing some kind of romantic moment with

815
00:40:41,159 --> 00:40:44,960
your partner, right, Yeah.

816
00:40:44,039 --> 00:40:46,039
Speaker 1: Because again it goes back to like there's so much

817
00:40:46,079 --> 00:40:48,880
expectation and hype that's built up around it that if

818
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,920
one or the other of both partners can deliver what

819
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,800
the expectation is, it's like that's just a huge disappointment.

820
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,679
And yeah, some unrealistic expectations happen and it's not necessary.

821
00:41:00,079 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Well, I want to finish this up

822
00:41:03,079 --> 00:41:06,840
with just a question for each of you, what is

823
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,920
the most thoughtful thing the other has done for you,

824
00:41:10,159 --> 00:41:13,280
whether it's for Valentine's Day or just for no reason

825
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:13,599
at all.

826
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 1: I can kick us off. I honestly, like, I genuinely

827
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,800
have a hard time picking one thing because there's been

828
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,239
a great many things that Christy does that I think

829
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,599
are pretty incredible and thoughtful. Like if I'm traveling for work,

830
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,400
I'll open up, I'll open my wallet and then there'll

831
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,400
be a little note in it that says we love you,

832
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,239
and it's got everyone's name. There'll be in my luggage

833
00:41:36,519 --> 00:41:39,880
or a card in my luggage. Last year before, I

834
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,840
was traveling on our anniversary and she had the hotel.

835
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,400
She'd set up with the hotel to bring me in

836
00:41:46,559 --> 00:41:50,679
bacon because we love bacon. So the pol folks had

837
00:41:50,679 --> 00:41:52,760
a little card that's a happy Anniversary, and they'd all

838
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,679
signed it. And then I got this play to bacon

839
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,599
while I'm in this meeting, which was fantastic, and everyone

840
00:41:57,639 --> 00:41:58,880
was pretty jealous that I had bacon.

841
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,639
Speaker 3: So it's just little thing that is hilarious. I love

842
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,119
that that's so thoughtful.

843
00:42:04,679 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's kind of that's arm to pick. She's

844
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,440
pretty thoughtful, just period, no pressure.

845
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 3: Turn. Yeah, that was pretty good. I can only gets

846
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:13,679
the same.

847
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,599
Speaker 2: I mean, like we always we both struggle sometimes with

848
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,280
completing sentences because we expect the other person to just

849
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,480
know exactly what we're thinking, because most of the time

850
00:42:23,519 --> 00:42:25,599
that happens. So then we both get really frustrated when

851
00:42:25,599 --> 00:42:28,920
it doesn't happen. We're like we then the words will calm,

852
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,440
and then we're frustrated because they're like the one time

853
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:33,440
you want them to know what you're thinking and they're

854
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:38,320
not knowing what they're thinking any But I feel the same.

855
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,239
I mean, like there's just I can't think of anybody

856
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,320
else of my life that I'm okay with spending as

857
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,159
much time with as I spend with him, with us

858
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,920
both being home most days, like you travel for work

859
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,079
sometimes obviously, but we're around each other almost all of

860
00:42:54,119 --> 00:42:56,480
the time, and like I never get sick of him.

861
00:42:56,559 --> 00:42:59,719
He's always looking out for all of us to make

862
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:04,119
sure that we are taking care of that we are safe,

863
00:43:04,119 --> 00:43:07,119
that we're happy. Like it's again, it's not just like

864
00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:10,239
one thing. It's just the fact that I feel one

865
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,960
secure and safe with this man all of the time.

866
00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:19,679
It is like the best gift that I could possibly have.

867
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,559
Speaker 3: So yes, yes, safety is so important. You guys really

868
00:43:23,599 --> 00:43:25,920
are like animals. You guys like really are your pets,

869
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,360
because like that's it shelter being content at home. Bacon.

870
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:34,639
It's just it's really the really most important thing for everybody.

871
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,360
It really is. Yeah, like a sausage would be a

872
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,679
little bit easier to do that with, but I wrote

873
00:43:39,679 --> 00:43:42,320
photos and you do make like a heart shape bacon

874
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,119
breakfast tomorrow. I want to see the photos, Okay, So

875
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,639
tell me how can my audience learn more about both

876
00:43:48,639 --> 00:43:51,239
of your projects and all the awesome work that you

877
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:52,719
do for the pet industry.

878
00:43:53,199 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm at Specs, iwearink dot com that's Spex. We're also

879
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,800
on Instagram and Facebook, And the best way if anybody

880
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,159
wants to learn more, like can always reach out. I

881
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:06,920
talk to people on the phone. I think that's what

882
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,639
sets us apart is that you can actively on the

883
00:44:09,639 --> 00:44:13,079
phone really easily, So it's really easy to find out

884
00:44:13,119 --> 00:44:16,599
more about us at any of the resources for you.

885
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,280
Speaker 1: We are at boozefoorpause dot org. If you type in

886
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,440
dot net or dot com, I think it'll take people

887
00:44:22,519 --> 00:44:23,719
there as well, so they can kind of find a

888
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,760
little bit more. And then if you click our spirits,

889
00:44:26,119 --> 00:44:29,280
we actually have a retail partner that will shift. I

890
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,119
think it's like forty plus states and we've got our

891
00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:34,960
vod Gudgeon, and right now it's the Bourbon. Those three

892
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,599
are available online. So if people want to try us, help

893
00:44:37,679 --> 00:44:40,639
us out, tell people about us, that would be also awesome.

894
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,119
Also on the socials to follow, it just kind of

895
00:44:44,119 --> 00:44:47,199
helps spread the word that like, hey, there's some there's

896
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,280
at least these two companies that are trying to do

897
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,280
something nice and any support in word of mouth or

898
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,360
purchases we can get will take.

899
00:44:55,119 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 3: And for those that are in the market for glasses,

900
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,800
the episode that I did with Christy, we talked a

901
00:45:00,039 --> 00:45:03,440
about how to buy it, what looks better for your eyebrows,

902
00:45:03,639 --> 00:45:05,800
what shape is going to work for you. We did

903
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:09,880
it all. We talked fashion, we talked function, we talked

904
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,239
it all. So, I mean, if you are in the

905
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,920
market for glasses, please please please don't just walk into

906
00:45:16,039 --> 00:45:19,440
any optical Look at specs first. You'll see that some

907
00:45:19,519 --> 00:45:21,760
of them are super modern, some of them are really

908
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,519
beautifully classic. You've got it all at Spex. And then

909
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,119
I have yet to try Boost for Pause, but I

910
00:45:28,199 --> 00:45:32,119
will be ordering for my birthday. So yeah, because I

911
00:45:32,119 --> 00:45:34,519
would love to have the Bourbon, because that of the

912
00:45:34,519 --> 00:45:36,599
ones that are available for shipping, that would be my

913
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,840
vice and then I want people to try to look

914
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,199
for them, ask for them, because the more we ask

915
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,920
for them, like you said, Sid, the more maybe it'll

916
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,360
get on people's radars. And again it's one hundred percent

917
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,639
of profits of both these brands go to animal welfare

918
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:56,159
and they also Christy, you donate ten percent of the sale.

919
00:45:56,679 --> 00:46:01,000
Yeah amazing, So like, really truly I want to propose

920
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,880
a toast to both of you for being amazing. Oh

921
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,199

Speaker 1: Thanks youre right, And I do have to say like

00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,760
shout out to you, like listening to all the episodes

924
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,159
and even just both of our episodes and others and

925
00:46:14,199 --> 00:46:15,719
then speaking with you, like I don't know if people

926
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,719
understand the level of research that you do when you

927
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,719
talk to your guests, it's pretty awesome, and like you

928
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,079

929
00:46:24,119 --> 00:46:26,440
stuff across and the fun games that we play. So

930
00:46:26,599 --> 00:46:29,559
I hope that people understand like the level of research

931
00:46:29,639 --> 00:46:33,119
and how deep you go as well before each show

932
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:34,079
