Speaker 1: Oh we are Hello.
Speaker 2: Hello, welcome to that I'm Still Fun podcast.
Speaker 3: Uh, Fallon and Jenny here. Oh, so we're sitting on
Speaker 3: opposite sides that we normally would recording.
Speaker 2: You can't see this.
Speaker 3: I already hate it, Jenny, How do you do? There
Speaker 3: is a weird echo coming off this board? Oh it's
Speaker 3: so distracting.
Speaker 4: How can you deal with weekly? I like didn't notice it.
Speaker 4: I don't normally notice it, but I think it was
Speaker 4: last week that I mentioned. I'm like, there's like an
Speaker 4: extra echo in here today, and so it was obnoxious.
Speaker 4: But I like this view because I get to actually
Speaker 4: look out the windows. Oh no, I'm looking past you.
Speaker 3: Welcome to my life. My god, that is a summary
Speaker 3: of my life.
Speaker 4: But I like being able to look outside because I
Speaker 4: mean during the morning show, same with you, y during
Speaker 4: your shows, well, when you were on the show and
Speaker 4: then the afternoon show, Yeah, we always were faced back
Speaker 4: to the windows.
Speaker 1: We didn't get to look outside.
Speaker 3: One yesterday was like, oh, I loved when you were
Speaker 3: on KATIEWB, and I was like.
Speaker 2: I am still on KATIEWB. You hate her. I didn't
Speaker 2: say like that.
Speaker 1: I was nice.
Speaker 4: There's also someone who I was at a party like
Speaker 4: probably a couple months ago now now like a month ago,
Speaker 4: and they were like, oh, well, like I think they
Speaker 4: asked if you were sad about not being in radio
Speaker 4: anymore and just doing the Jason Show, and I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 4: she's still doing like radio too.
Speaker 1: She does both.
Speaker 3: We had clients be like, oh, what are we supposed
Speaker 3: to do with our endorsement now? And the salespeople are like,
Speaker 3: she's still here, She's just doing both. And I had
Speaker 3: someone else say like, I can't. I don't know what
Speaker 3: it was, but it was like, it's been funny. I'm like, I, guys,
Speaker 3: I still do radio. I just like but also like
Speaker 3: the past, we have been posting a lot more about
Speaker 3: The Jason Show, just because the new season kicked off
Speaker 3: today or whatever. So last week on the podcast, we
Speaker 3: were talking about how I invite you on my boat.
Speaker 3: You don't you haven't been able to come, and I
Speaker 3: was like, well, there's always next year, and then we
Speaker 3: made it happen this weekend.
Speaker 1: We sure did.
Speaker 4: And when I posted some pictures of a saw him
Speaker 4: there and videos and whatever, immediately so many people were.
Speaker 1: Like, oh my gosh, you made it on the boat,
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, it's just hard get like whatever.
Speaker 1: We talk about sometimes me too. People know this.
Speaker 3: We actually had a we sell each other every day
Speaker 3: this weekend pretty much other always in the Friday, but
Speaker 3: we so Saturday. We had I had earlier in the
Speaker 3: week been like you should come, and then I randomly
Speaker 3: was like, oh yeah, Jenny Andrew are coming on the
Speaker 3: boat Saturday.
Speaker 2: And Jake goes, that's funny.
Speaker 3: He's like, I was dming Andrew about this and I
Speaker 3: was like what, and he said that, like, you know,
Speaker 3: I think when Jake sees something in the real estate world,
Speaker 3: he'll DM Andrew and just like, so that huge house
Speaker 3: that's like crazy, like the most expensive house if it
Speaker 3: sells on Minnetonka he had messaged to Andrew was like, ah,
Speaker 3: too bad. We won't you know, we won't be able
Speaker 3: to see it from the boat or something. And Andrew
Speaker 3: was like, Oh, do you already put the boat up?
Speaker 3: And he's like no. He's like, oh, so this works out,
Speaker 3: And I was like, that's funny. You guys were talking
Speaker 3: about it. Jenny and I made the plan to actually
Speaker 3: go on the boat.
Speaker 2: It was really fun. All of became best friends with Jenny.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like alive and I have always been buddies,
Speaker 4: but I feel like officially now I'm one of her
Speaker 4: best ies.
Speaker 2: She did invite. It was very cute. She invited Jenny
Speaker 2: to her birthday part.
Speaker 3: She did, by the way, you're not invited, you would
Speaker 3: be it's too expensive to have another guest.
Speaker 1: That's okay, I completely understand.
Speaker 4: And at first, like you were going to first, she
Speaker 4: was like yeah, and you can drive us to Fallen
Speaker 4: and Phila was like, I'm your mother, I have to.
Speaker 1: Be at the party.
Speaker 4: And then she's like, okay, you will be there too,
Speaker 4: and so then it was like all right, fine, I
Speaker 4: guess mom can be there too.
Speaker 2: Or a moment it was cold blooded.
Speaker 3: And then we went to Fletcher's and we got to
Speaker 3: meet a bachelorette party, which was they did not post
Speaker 3: the photo of us with the bride and bridal party.
Speaker 3: They posted the photo where I'm cuting Jenny's boob, which, honestly,
Speaker 3: I was fine, I'm going to use that image to
Speaker 3: promote the podcast this week for people to listen to.
Speaker 2: I think a love that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but no, thanks for having us out. I did
Speaker 4: have to scold my boyfriend because he tried to steal
Speaker 4: fallon in Jake's big Costco sigh pretzel container.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he was like, so what, I
Speaker 1: love it.
Speaker 4: Coming up from the dock, we have a bunch of
Speaker 4: things from the boat, and Andrew helps carry the pretzels
Speaker 4: and I look in the car and he's putting the
Speaker 4: pretzels in like a countinet, and I'm like, what are
Speaker 4: you doing?
Speaker 1: Are you taking their pretzels?
Speaker 2: I wouldn't never have noticed, honestly, literally.
Speaker 4: Just immediately starts laughing. I know he genuinely didn't.
Speaker 1: Wasn't attention. He was just like going through motions.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, But you know what, I don't know why you
Speaker 2: get on him?
Speaker 3: Remember are you still an entire Costco sized cheese ball
Speaker 3: can here from my wedding. So it actually is partially
Speaker 3: what you your I guess immediate family now.
Speaker 4: But I was of a drunk mind. He was of
Speaker 4: a mind like, oh these are ours now. I loved it.
Speaker 3: And then we went to the new Galaxy theater turned
Speaker 3: into uh, it's drive.
Speaker 1: In, you said theater. But people might get confused.
Speaker 3: Confused honestly some did. And I think I wrote it
Speaker 3: right on like my actual post. But yeah, and it
Speaker 3: had been on the side Highway seven forever it's turned
Speaker 3: into a new spot like dog friendly. Well, so we
Speaker 3: we briefly saw each other there, but the highlight, which
Speaker 3: we'll get into the full story, I didn't see you
Speaker 3: because my back was to it. And Jake was like, oh,
Speaker 3: this is hilarious. He starts filming Jenny. She has a
Speaker 3: new sprinter van. Yep, it's very large. She's not used
Speaker 3: to driving car that large. But also the drive into
Speaker 3: the area is it doesn't give you a lot of
Speaker 3: like space. So he just amuisat's pulling his phone out.
Speaker 2: He's like, she's in.
Speaker 3: Three spots right now, and then people are watching. I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, she must feel so much pressure right now.
Speaker 3: But you got it into like one and a half spots.
Speaker 3: I eventually, eventually it was an awful park job. I
Speaker 3: didn't like start wide enough. Basically I didn't turn that.
Speaker 3: Andrew told me exactly what I did wrong, So mind you.
Speaker 3: So this is a camper van that has a bed
Speaker 3: in it and stuff. And Andrew was in the bed
Speaker 3: and so he's like, babe, you got this.
Speaker 4: And he's like saying all these things and he's not
Speaker 4: even watching because he's working on his computer, and he
Speaker 4: kept saying and things. She's like, it's fine whatever. I
Speaker 4: was like, Babe, there's literally an entire audience looking at me,
Speaker 4: because there was like five workers that stopped right in
Speaker 4: front being like watching me do it. Some started guiding me.
Speaker 4: It was a whole thing that I was not prepared for.
Speaker 4: And I also thought that we would be sitting in
Speaker 4: the vehicle eating because like the drivers in my hometown,
Speaker 4: you sit in your vehicle, they come to the window
Speaker 4: to take your order. I didn't realize we were getting
Speaker 4: out ordering out a window and sitting at the path.
Speaker 4: We wouldn't have brought the van otherwise.
Speaker 3: Right, they and they have like other I think like
Speaker 3: they'll get that option more or at least you can't
Speaker 3: carry your food to your car, you don't have to
Speaker 3: sit outside. But that was something I had kind of
Speaker 3: casually mentioned on our podcast like three or so weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you were.
Speaker 3: Like, eh, I don't know, because I was like, maybe
Speaker 3: next week will talk about Jenday's adventure. You're like, I
Speaker 3: don't know what I'm gonna be ready for. But you
Speaker 3: did make the big announcement yesterday.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So we bought a camper van if you didn't
Speaker 4: see it on Instagram already. But it's an old girl.
Speaker 4: She's a two thousand and three Mercedes Sprinter. Yeah, she's
Speaker 4: not anything so super fancy. It is not like the
Speaker 4: beautiful camera vans you see of the van lifers on Instagram.
Speaker 4: It is very much just a bed and a cabinet
Speaker 4: in it. There's no aesthetic to it quite yet. But
Speaker 4: we bought it from someone who's been using it for
Speaker 4: what he used for, which was just I think he
Speaker 4: mountain bikes, so you just like go mountain biking and
Speaker 4: pass out in the van and whatever. So we yeah,
Speaker 4: we got it, and we got a really good deal
Speaker 4: I think on it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not.
Speaker 2: I think you did.
Speaker 3: Jake and Dylan were talking because Dylan got to see
Speaker 3: it yesterday and my stepson and he was like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, that's so sick, Like that's so cool, and
Speaker 3: he was like, how much you know do they get
Speaker 3: it for or whatever? And I don't remember if Andrew
Speaker 3: told Jake, but Jake was like, they got a really
Speaker 3: good deal on it, and Dylan was like, that's like
Speaker 3: I think that you know, that's kind of one of
Speaker 3: Dylan's dream situations to be like my brother in law
Speaker 3: where he goes to Colorado and kind of lives like
Speaker 3: a no mad life of like you can work as
Speaker 3: a ski instructor and live that kind of life for
Speaker 3: a year or two. So I think you thought that
Speaker 3: was pretty cool, Jitny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was exciting.
Speaker 4: I mean I've been thinking about getting a camper van
Speaker 4: for like three ish years almost, like Andrew and I
Speaker 4: have talked about it, and then we kind of went
Speaker 4: back and forth. We're like, we should get a truck
Speaker 4: in a truck camper because we wanted to be able
Speaker 4: to go snowboarding, and like it's better having a truck
Speaker 4: handles the mountains and the pass is better versus a caravan.
Speaker 3: So much research that you would listen to like endless
Speaker 3: podcasts of other people who did this, you were putting
Speaker 3: You weren't someone who was just like I want to
Speaker 3: get one and get pictures for Instagram. Like you were
Speaker 3: putting in the effort to do your like due diligence
Speaker 3: of like research to find the right fit for you
Speaker 3: guys too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So we looked at a few camper We've looked
Speaker 4: at a couple of camper vans. We looked at a
Speaker 4: couple truck campers, and we even test drove this big
Speaker 4: truck up by like sant Cloud or something one time
Speaker 4: to carry a bigger truck camper on and I'm telling you,
Speaker 4: it felt like I was driving a semi it was
Speaker 4: so big no, and I was like, gosh, this is
Speaker 4: a lot. And then we even looked at one of
Speaker 4: those like handicap buses, so they're like a smaller bus.
Speaker 4: We looked at one of those that was somewhat built out,
Speaker 4: and nothing felt right. And then three weeks ago, I'm
Speaker 4: on Facebook Marketplace see this van. I'm like, hey, can
Speaker 4: I look at it on Tuesday? It was Sunday night,
Speaker 4: and He's like, yeah, for sure, just so you know,
Speaker 4: I have a lot of people coming tomorrow and Tuesday already.
Speaker 4: And I was like, eh, I'm like, let's go tonight. Yeah,
Speaker 4: if you can come tonight if you want. And I
Speaker 4: was like, okay, let's let's do it. And so literally
Speaker 4: the next morning Andrew messages him and was like, we
Speaker 4: want it. Let's put We'll give you like half of
Speaker 4: the money already, like just hold it for us, because
Speaker 4: we knew a lot of people were looking at it,
Speaker 4: and he is, so we people.
Speaker 3: Will get like they'll get like, i'll give you the
Speaker 3: money right now if you give it to me over
Speaker 3: other people, and some people would take it.
Speaker 2: It just depends on who you're working with.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, So Andrew he was like, no, you don't
Speaker 4: have to give me like half the money, just like
Speaker 4: give I think Andrew ended up giving him two hundred bucks. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and he's like, I'll hold it for you guys, like
Speaker 4: he really it was almost like it was a house
Speaker 4: to him that he wanted it to go to the
Speaker 4: right owners, and he admitted he's like, I've had people
Speaker 4: come that are like I want on Instagram, like cute
Speaker 4: pictures per Instagram, and I'm like, of course i want that,
Speaker 4: but that's yeah, that's not like the main reason I wanted,
Speaker 4: you know. And so yeah, so he was like he
Speaker 4: loved us, he thought we were great.
Speaker 1: He didn't want to deal.
Speaker 4: With people, he said. And one guy did offer more
Speaker 4: money than what he even had itself being said for,
Speaker 4: but we had already put the deposit down and he's like, no, man,
Speaker 4: I'm not screwing these people over. I'm gonna follow through
Speaker 4: with them. I say, follow through with me. If not,
Speaker 4: I'll come back to you. So yeah, within like an
Speaker 4: evening at seven pm on Sunday night, randomly going on
Speaker 4: Facebook Marketplace to the next day at one pm, we
Speaker 4: owned a camper van and we had barely even been
Speaker 4: like looking at it, and I didn't even think Andrew
Speaker 4: was gonna buy it with me. I was going to
Speaker 4: go in on it myself, but he when he came along,
Speaker 4: he loved it, and he was like, I kind of
Speaker 4: want to use it for myself, like too, because we
Speaker 4: have obviously very different schedules, so like there's gonna be
Speaker 4: probably chances in the winter he'll go on a snowboarding
Speaker 4: trip with it and I won't be able to go, right. So, yeah,
Speaker 4: this is like our new adventure. And it's very funny
Speaker 4: watching Andrew with it because Andrew has this personality that
Speaker 4: loves new he loves adventure, he loves to do new things.
Speaker 4: He gets very bored with the same old, same old.
Speaker 4: And he has just like dove into the research of
Speaker 4: what we need for like the heater and like the
Speaker 4: electric and all the stuff that we're looking at doing.
Speaker 4: And I'm just so grateful for that because that stuff
Speaker 4: is a little bit above my head that I was
Speaker 4: probably gonna have to hire a lot of people to
Speaker 4: do certain things. And I'm learning that Andrew is much
Speaker 4: handier than I knew. I always knew he was decently handy,
Speaker 4: but like, we had to change all the tail lights already,
Speaker 4: and he was like, you want to do one with me?
Speaker 4: And so he changed one, shows me how to do
Speaker 4: the other one. I'm still struggling and He's just like
Speaker 4: knowing how to do everything, and I'm like, man, I
Speaker 4: am so hyped right now, because yeah, I can handle
Speaker 4: like the cuteness, making a little cute around the inside,
Speaker 4: you know. But so far we haven't done too much.
Speaker 4: But we have, like I've I think I've talked on
Speaker 4: here how I want to do a road trip out
Speaker 4: in October and yeah, yeah, so I think we don't
Speaker 4: have a plan yet. We might just go and see
Speaker 4: how it goes, and we might put in a toilet
Speaker 4: or something.
Speaker 1: By then we'll see you just kind a.
Speaker 2: Hole in it.
Speaker 3: See on the road people are driving behind you, like,
Speaker 3: what was that on our windshield? Jenny went to the bathroom,
Speaker 3: real real street legal.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Fallan got to see it because I did take
Speaker 4: it out to her and Jake's house, one at Wells yesterday. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was so funny because all have wanted to look
Speaker 4: at it too.
Speaker 1: And she like wanted to sleep in it.
Speaker 3: Then she was like, you can sleep with me, have
Speaker 3: a slumber party with Jenny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: It's very cool.
Speaker 3: I'm very happy for you because you know, I think
Speaker 3: you uh as an outsider. I mean, obviously, if you're
Speaker 3: listening to the podcast, you don't know all this, but
Speaker 3: you know, I've listened to Jenny talk about this for
Speaker 3: a really long time, and you know, you always want
Speaker 3: your friends to like go after their hopes and dreams
Speaker 3: and stuff. And there was like she had, I feel
Speaker 3: like you have like this spark and you were like
Speaker 3: in it, and then you would kind of like backed off.
Speaker 3: And I don't think it was because you'd given up.
Speaker 3: I think it was just like you would just I
Speaker 3: don't know how to describe it, but to like, now
Speaker 3: that you just went and did it, I'm just like
Speaker 3: really happy for you, and I think it's great and
Speaker 3: I think it'll be, like like you said, like an
Speaker 3: exciting adventure.
Speaker 4: This this one, I will say. I made such a
Speaker 4: quick decision out of pretty much nowhere, mostly based on
Speaker 4: the price of it. If it would have been much
Speaker 4: more expensive, it would have been a very different decision.
Speaker 4: But this just felt like a deal that we absolutely
Speaker 4: couldn't pass up. And I've just learned in the years
Speaker 4: you just have to go for something. And there's like
Speaker 4: a phrase I'll probably get wrong, but like it's like
Speaker 4: a fantasy is a day dream until you go for it.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Your dreams are just a fantasy. Remember, your dream is
Speaker 4: just a dream that you're not going after. Is just
Speaker 4: a fantasy.
Speaker 2: Maybe something like that is something like that or fairy
Speaker 2: tale or something like that.
Speaker 3: I remember we read it on like the show or two,
Speaker 3: and I remember you were like, I love that and
Speaker 3: you were like, I'm going to remember that. Well you
Speaker 3: fucking did, Jenny. So now you way to go. You know,
Speaker 3: now you got to google it, find motivational quotes.
Speaker 2: You'll be set. Well, it's very exciting. I'm very happy
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 3: Thank you, sending you all the good vibes to the
Speaker 3: to the vehicle to get you across the country.
Speaker 2: Don't be calling me okay if something happy?
Speaker 1: Laugh, are you serious? Imagine what I.
Speaker 4: Have no idea, I don't I don't know what I
Speaker 4: would offer myself at this point because it's just like,
Speaker 4: I don't know much about cars, and I'm I'm someone
Speaker 4: who is willing to learn a new hobby. I pick
Speaker 4: up and learn a lot about it and I'll dive in.
Speaker 4: But I'm really heavily relying on Andrew with a lot
Speaker 4: of things at the beginning here because I'm going to learn,
Speaker 4: but I'm kind of waiting for him to learn first
Speaker 4: and then to teach me where I'm at with it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so exciting and stuff. And I've already had
Speaker 1: a lot of.
Speaker 4: People messaging me, people like, oh, you should follow this
Speaker 4: person in that person, And I do follow a lot
Speaker 4: of people and I have for a very long time.
Speaker 1: So I'll be honest.
Speaker 4: If you send me those I probably already follow those people.
Speaker 1: You're possible, but I.
Speaker 4: Appreciate the messages and stuff. And yeah, the first big
Speaker 4: trip will come up in October and we'll see how
Speaker 4: it goes. There's a chance I'll fucking hate it. You
Speaker 4: know there is there is a chance.
Speaker 3: But you also know there's a great market for resale
Speaker 3: on this thing if for some reason it doesn't work out,
Speaker 3: So you're fine either way. It's a good stock to
Speaker 3: be and I think you'll love it. I think it'll
Speaker 3: be once you figure out the toilet shower part. That's
Speaker 3: gonna be key because you're gonna want to Like, I mean,
Speaker 3: toilet is one thing because you can easily stop into
Speaker 3: a gas station and be fine, right, the shower will
Speaker 3: be But also if you're in like public campsites, a
Speaker 3: lot of those have shower access, so you're fine, right.
Speaker 4: But the goal of this for me is to really
Speaker 4: not be using campsites. I want to be camping on
Speaker 4: it's called BLM Land, where it's free campsites pretty much.
Speaker 4: There's not going to be bathrooms on that. It's like
Speaker 4: those are like where you're getting like those van life
Speaker 4: beautiful like serene pictures and videos, is like they're just
Speaker 4: there's no one around. You have the mountain in the background.
Speaker 4: A lot of that is like BLM Land that you're
Speaker 4: able to just go camp for free and stuff. So
Speaker 4: that's kind of my goal. But also I think I
Speaker 4: just I'm going to have to learn to get better
Speaker 4: at being okay dirty yea, because I am I am
Speaker 4: someone who showers every single day. I really do love
Speaker 4: my showers. Yeah, and I'm definitely gonna have to learn
Speaker 4: a little bit about just sitting in my filth. You know,
Speaker 4: you can use your travel the day to spray your
Speaker 4: koochie and clean it a little bit. There was a
Speaker 4: part of me where I was like, should I start
Speaker 4: breadcrumbing what it is that Andrew and I did because
Speaker 4: you had brought it up a few weeks ago that
Speaker 4: I was like leaving to go do something, and I
Speaker 4: was like, I don't know what I'm going to talk
Speaker 4: about it. And one of my clues was going to
Speaker 4: be like found birthday present for me, will be coming
Speaker 4: a handy Like that was like one of the clues
Speaker 4: I was gonna say.
Speaker 1: And then finally I was like, no, fuck it, I
Speaker 1: just want to talk about it. Yeah. Yeah, we bought
Speaker 1: a camera van. There we go.
Speaker 3: It's exciting. I think it's like, uh, yeah, I get
Speaker 3: why you wanted to like wait for a minute and
Speaker 3: feel it out and stuff. But now yeah, you're settling
Speaker 3: to it. This weekend. I think I'm getting my new
Speaker 3: dog too, so we're gonna have some new adventures.
Speaker 2: That's exciting.
Speaker 3: My mother in law yesterday goes why she she didn't
Speaker 3: mean in the mean ways, like she's the nicest ever,
Speaker 3: Like I love Jake's mom so much. I think she
Speaker 3: just like looks at how like calm our situation actually
Speaker 3: is now ollives old enough to like she's not like
Speaker 3: she can go she can get her own snack, you know,
Speaker 3: like little things like that.
Speaker 2: She can get her own cup of water.
Speaker 3: Dolly is just a dream lo She ate a whole
Speaker 3: bag of popcorn yesterday while we were out. Just never
Speaker 3: ends with her. She's such a she gets into everything,
Speaker 3: everything food wise. But and then she'll just decide one
Speaker 3: day she's pissed and chew up an important document or
Speaker 3: it's so weird, like she said, she's not a destructive dog.
Speaker 3: And but then like one day she'll just be like
Speaker 3: I don't know what triggered her, She'll just get pissed
Speaker 3: and she's but it was kind of like why would
Speaker 3: you bring a puppy in and add extra chaos? And
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't I don't even have the answer, Linda,
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. I just want another dog.
Speaker 3: I also like love Dolly, but Dolly can't go on
Speaker 3: walks and stuff, and not like I'm trying to like
Speaker 3: go on walk but like it would be nice to
Speaker 3: have a dog to go on walks with and like,
Speaker 3: but Dolly just can't cause she's hip issues. So I
Speaker 3: used to think she was a lazy sack, but I
Speaker 3: think it actually hurt her hips. So we'd go on
Speaker 3: these walks and she'd just lay there and refuse to
Speaker 3: get up, and I have to call like Jake to
Speaker 3: come pick us up, or he'd call me to come
Speaker 3: pick them up.
Speaker 4: Honestly, some of your best Instagram story content is the
Speaker 4: content of Alli being driven away in the front later.
Speaker 2: That's one of my favorite wifes, it really is. I
Speaker 2: was like, for sure.
Speaker 3: Honestly, we took her on the boat this like two
Speaker 3: times this past week or so, and I don't She
Speaker 3: just like looked at us like, why why are you
Speaker 3: doing this to me?
Speaker 2: Just let me stay in the house. So I'm like,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I would.
Speaker 3: I've always said, like an Elliott was never a chill
Speaker 3: patio dog. She has too a high stress dog.
Speaker 4: So I took her to an apple orchard once and
Speaker 4: I remember I remember you being like, was she good?
Speaker 4: And she was good there, But I did also take
Speaker 4: her to like the lake that day, and I wanted
Speaker 4: to just like lay and read and stuff, and I
Speaker 4: was like, she'll be chill like that hour. I didn't
Speaker 4: understand that, like some dogs don't just like chill, and
Speaker 4: she really was like not having it. She'd lay down
Speaker 4: for a little bit here and there. But she was
Speaker 4: pretty good at the apple orchard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she if there's some activity going on, she'd be chill.
Speaker 3: See, Dolly's like thing is she is border aggressive, like
Speaker 3: leash aggressive. It's scary a little bit, honestly, And I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'll take her to the dog park and there's no
Speaker 3: issue because she's not on a leash.
Speaker 2: She's she doesn't care about other dogs.
Speaker 3: She'll do a little sniff, but like it it stresses
Speaker 3: me out because I'm like, I don't even want her
Speaker 3: to walk up to other dogs because she starts like barking. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think if I let her go, it'd be completely fine.
Speaker 3: But if the other dog it didn't chill, then it
Speaker 3: would be bad. Because we went when we took her
Speaker 3: on the boat, we like basically our slip is through
Speaker 3: like our neighbors. We go through his like yard and
Speaker 3: they have a dog, and she was pulling me to
Speaker 3: go for that dog. And I was so embarrassed in
Speaker 3: front of the neighbor, and I know that that's like
Speaker 3: a behavioral issue I need to work on. But also
Speaker 3: I'm like, maybe Dolly just needs to like she doesn't
Speaker 3: go on walks anyway. I just don't want that to
Speaker 3: happen with like the new dog, you know, I want that.
Speaker 3: I want the dog to be chill.
Speaker 4: At least, like when that happens and you're showing like stress,
Speaker 4: then other owners know that at least you understand that,
Speaker 4: like you don't want that to be happening, because I
Speaker 4: feel like I have some people I know who like
Speaker 4: their dogs are constantly kind of going after something. I'm
Speaker 4: like a walk around lakes and off town, and I
Speaker 4: would get so embarrassed walking with them because they were like,
Speaker 4: oh they're fine, they're fine. Oh no, he's friendly, And
Speaker 4: I'm like no, Now you have to understand though, that
Speaker 4: that can be really stressful for other people, you know.
Speaker 3: So it would like it's like almost like with that
Speaker 3: one being around the neighbors, it was so embarrassing and
Speaker 3: maybe and Jake is bad about He's good now he
Speaker 3: gets it, but he like said to one of our neighbors,
Speaker 3: there's like a year ago, Oh she's nice, and no,
Speaker 3: like stop because and she got like like aggressive, and
Speaker 3: the other guy pulled his dog back, and I'm like, Jay,
Speaker 3: she's not nice when she's on her leash, like she's
Speaker 3: not and so, like I said, fortunately we do not
Speaker 3: ever take her out into walking situations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not an issue.
Speaker 3: If so, I would probably honestly do like the muzzle
Speaker 3: thing in but probably I guess start with trying to
Speaker 3: train her because yeah, I don't want to do the muzzle,
Speaker 3: but I know some people do to make other people
Speaker 3: feel more comfortable around their dogs for sure, and train them.
Speaker 3: But I will say, you know the muzzle roles honestly.
Speaker 1: Yeah I don't. I don't really either.
Speaker 2: I look at it, I'm like, oh, like I don't.
Speaker 2: I would never want to do that.
Speaker 1: I know, but I think I don't know.
Speaker 4: It does feel like the dogs don't care when they
Speaker 4: do have those on, so I don't. I don't feel
Speaker 4: like you should like feel bad if you did have
Speaker 4: to do that with Dolly.
Speaker 2: It's all it's me.
Speaker 3: I'm the issue. I know I'm the problem. It's Jake
Speaker 3: and I is like lack of training.
Speaker 2: This beef is what it is.
Speaker 1: So I still I think Dolly is a great dog.
Speaker 2: She is. She is when you come to our house.
Speaker 2: Obviously no aggression. So people love Dolly, they really do.
Speaker 1: He is the best.
Speaker 4: She plops on top of you like she's a laptop,
Speaker 4: and you're like, Dolly, you're like one hundred pounds.
Speaker 2: She's first of all, she's sixty five. How dare you?
Speaker 1: Dolly?
Speaker 4: I'm so I really thought she would be closer to
Speaker 4: like a.
Speaker 2: H I know it's because she's thick and sausage.
Speaker 4: You know, that's probably why. And I'm sure everyone's been
Speaker 4: dying to hear an update on this. I was not
Speaker 4: invited to the Pickaball tournament. Nobody dropped out, so Fallon
Speaker 4: did not me No, but you had fun.
Speaker 2: We did.
Speaker 3: We hosted a family one and everyone I think really
Speaker 3: liked it and everything went as I predicted it except
Speaker 3: for Fred.
Speaker 2: My father in law did not come.
Speaker 3: He does like house renovations and stuff like that's his job,
Speaker 3: and so he was finishing a project for a client,
Speaker 3: so he couldn't come. My mother in law, I think
Speaker 3: it was good for her because she realized it was not.
Speaker 3: She thought she was going to run a ton of stuff,
Speaker 3: but she was like, oh, I can actually do this now.
Speaker 3: It was her first time, so like she wasn't excelling,
Speaker 3: so she was teamed up with Dylan. They were out
Speaker 3: pretty quickly and.
Speaker 2: Basically Jake stepped it up.
Speaker 3: I was so impressed with him. I was like, okay,
Speaker 3: I could beat your partner. We played on a tennis
Speaker 3: net though, and Michael, who's my stepbrother, I guess through
Speaker 3: marriage whatever. He plays regularly and he's really good, but
Speaker 3: he was like, oh, this net's too high.
Speaker 2: It was getting so mad and he's like this tennis
Speaker 2: and I was like.
Speaker 3: I don't know the regulation, so I'm sure a tennis
Speaker 3: net is too high.
Speaker 4: I think it technically is, because I've noticed that before
Speaker 4: when I've done tennis courts that have pick a ball
Speaker 4: line on home where I'm like, eh, I feel like
Speaker 4: this is a little off.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So we had but we had a great time. And
Speaker 3: then I was like myself, so we Jake and I
Speaker 3: beat like everyone and their partners. But then Laura was
Speaker 3: his sister in law. She I could tell she was
Speaker 3: really good, yeah, but she was with Jake's brother who
Speaker 3: was not as good. Okay, So everyone's like done, and
Speaker 3: we had won the tournament technically, and I was like,
Speaker 3: I need Laura and Michael to play together, and basically
Speaker 3: I booted his brother Davy and to play against me
Speaker 3: and Jake because I wanted to play against the best players.
Speaker 3: And they beat us by two points. But yes, it
Speaker 3: was very close.
Speaker 2: Michael definitely carried it. And that's not a knock on Laura.
Speaker 3: I think that was like Laura's first time ever playing,
Speaker 3: and but she's naturally athletic. So I was like, if
Speaker 3: Laura played a few more times, I bet she'd be
Speaker 3: a killer because she was picking up on it really quick.
Speaker 2: And then Michael was like balance, She's like, you actually like.
Speaker 3: Have like a proper swing and stuff in jameson she
Speaker 3: played tennis before, and I was like, not well, but
Speaker 3: thank you.
Speaker 2: So it was very fun.
Speaker 3: I highly suggest forcing your family to do things out
Speaker 3: of their comfort zone occasionally. It's why like Jake's family,
Speaker 3: they will do Hannah, she blessed her soul his sister.
Speaker 3: Every time the ball would come to her, she'd panic,
Speaker 3: swinging completely miss and Jake's mom goes when she played
Speaker 3: soccer as a child. She won the Best Smile Award.
Speaker 4: And Hannah was like hers there telling them about my
Speaker 4: participation award.
Speaker 1: And she's like, yes, honey, and it was she was
Speaker 1: a personality player. Yes, she personally hires at work. Anna
Speaker 1: was a person Hannah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be perfect. Yeah, so it was very fun.
Speaker 3: Highly suggests doing it, but yeah, I don't know fun.
Speaker 3: We did get an email. Yeah, so I'm going to
Speaker 3: read that really quick. Do we get more than one?
Speaker 4: I have a I think they have two or three
Speaker 4: because I know that we haven't gotten to some of
Speaker 4: them because we've gotten we've been running a.
Speaker 1: Little bit late.
Speaker 4: So so it says high failon and Jenny. I just
Speaker 4: wanted you to know that I listen every week and
Speaker 4: really enjoy your podcast. I feel like you are both friends.
Speaker 4: Hope that doesn't sound weird that I can always count on.
Speaker 1: Here's why.
Speaker 4: I'm forty seven, have one adult child and two teens.
Speaker 4: I've never struggled with having friends, but then life always
Speaker 4: throws curveballs at you. I divorced about nine years ago,
Speaker 4: and one of the unfortunate parts of divorce is that
Speaker 4: your social circle changes a bit. Plus after I divorced,
Speaker 4: I moved. Divorced plus movie equals chaos, so I lost
Speaker 4: some friends in the mix along with my excess family
Speaker 4: I entered into another relationship soon after that sadly just
Speaker 4: ended after six and a half years, same song and dance,
Speaker 4: except we never married, separated, moved, lost some of the
Speaker 4: mutual friends in his family. So long story short, I'm
Speaker 4: in transition right now and my friend pool is very shallow.
Speaker 4: That's why I'm thankful for you too. So thanks for
Speaker 4: being my friend no matter what's going on with me.
Speaker 1: Take care.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So well, I will say this, I totally get that,
Speaker 3: and it is hard, and I'm sorry that you're going
Speaker 3: and for you're go again, glad we could be here
Speaker 3: for you and at least some small way. It's just like,
Speaker 3: you know, it's funny how we have so many similarities
Speaker 3: to little kids, because all of just expressed that she
Speaker 3: is she misses her old friends in her old school,
Speaker 3: and I said, yeah, making new friends is really hard.
Speaker 3: Like even as an adult, if you go to a
Speaker 3: new job and it's just you're nervous for a while
Speaker 3: and it's awkward and you feel weird and getting to
Speaker 3: that place of even inviting someone over to watch like TV.
Speaker 3: It takes a while to get to that comfort zone
Speaker 3: with someone. So I hope you find some of your
Speaker 3: people soon, because I know that that can be very difficult.
Speaker 3: And I'm sorry about the recent long break relationship end.
Speaker 4: And I also think that like you really do sort
Speaker 4: of go through phases of life with friends, and some
Speaker 4: friends only lasts for that phase, you know.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: Like, I'll be honest, I am not really friends with
Speaker 4: anyone in high school except for a couple of people now.
Speaker 1: And it's weird.
Speaker 4: I had so many friends in high school and then
Speaker 4: it's like I've got probably for college roommates that I'm
Speaker 4: so close with, but that's about it. And I also
Speaker 4: had plenty of college runds, you know. So yeah, I
Speaker 4: think it kind of just comes with the territory. Your
Speaker 4: circle becomes a little bit smaller, but it's of higher quality.
Speaker 2: Agreed. Absolutely, Yeah, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3: I will skip the fangirl girling, but I do a
Speaker 3: door and appreciate you both. I don't want Oh wait,
Speaker 3: that's the wrong one.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Well come.
Speaker 3: That one was about addressing kind of something we had
Speaker 3: kind of moved on from. So shout out to her
Speaker 3: and thanks for an email we did read that we
Speaker 3: appreciate you. This one says, hey, love the podcast. I
Speaker 3: look forward to it each week. You and Jenny are
Speaker 3: just the best duo. I did want to touch on
Speaker 3: a few things from this week. One, not getting your
Speaker 3: period can also be from your blood sugars being too
Speaker 3: high or your a one c. I missed a few
Speaker 3: months and that was why, which no one tells you about.
Speaker 3: A good doctor informed me I still haven't gotten my period.
Speaker 3: I did take a pregnancy test just to make sure
Speaker 3: I'm back negative. I'm like literally one going through perimenopause
Speaker 3: because I don't know. I am going to ask my
Speaker 3: doctor just so everyone knows, like I will ask.
Speaker 1: By the look up perimenopause while you keeping.
Speaker 3: It's basically the precursor to menopause. So and it does
Speaker 3: say you can skip periods or have like lighter ones
Speaker 3: or whatever. So number two, having a puppy with an
Speaker 3: already potty trained dog is wonderful. Sometimes they will just
Speaker 3: watch the current routine and follow. We had a two
Speaker 3: year old with a puppy and he just mimicked him.
Speaker 3: Made it so easy. I hope that happens for you
Speaker 3: and he does just as Dolly. And also I have
Speaker 3: two boy dogs and boy dogs rule. That's from Jamie.
Speaker 3: Thank you for the good vibes. I will say the
Speaker 3: one issue with Dolly is she's weird. She only goes
Speaker 3: to the bathroom like twice a day. She is so strange.
Speaker 3: She'll want to go outside and just absorb. But maybe
Speaker 3: she's something Jake says when she peas, it goes to
Speaker 3: the center of the earth because it is.
Speaker 2: Like so long, and we'll like let her out.
Speaker 3: And she She's always been such a strange dog in
Speaker 3: so many ways. So but we do have we did
Speaker 3: get another one today that I think we're gonna have
Speaker 3: to say for next week. But I just wanted to
Speaker 3: thank you, of course for submitting. You always can fallin
Speaker 3: at katiewb dot com or Jenny at katiewb dot com.
Speaker 4: Yes, and thank you so much for listening. And I'm
Speaker 4: going to just plug this in case you haven't seen it,
Speaker 4: but if you want to see my camera van, I
Speaker 4: do have it on my Instagram Jenny katiewb. And I'll
Speaker 4: definitely do some like videos and like updates of what
Speaker 4: we're doing throughout the table months my cribs tour. I know,
Speaker 4: I know I want to do as I already have
Speaker 4: like so many ideas in my head, but also I'm
Speaker 4: like I don't want to just be a person who
Speaker 4: only is like it's like my baby.
Speaker 3: Now, No, it's your new personality. That's okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Can I tell you one thing before we wrap up,
Speaker 4: because I know we got to wrap up. Is I
Speaker 4: saw a podcast recently that said one child is an accessory,
Speaker 4: two or more is a lifestyle, and I, okay, stop laughing,
Speaker 4: because I do not agree with that, but funny, it
Speaker 4: was just really funny.
Speaker 1: Because I've never heard something like that, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: there are a few people out there in the world
Speaker 1: who might say, Yep, this is my baby aka my accessory.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's fair, that is fair. Okay, that's it.
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening.
Speaker 1: Bye.
