Speaker 1: I'm Ellie. This is your dose of friendship, fun and
Speaker 1: figuring life out together. Let's be besties because life is messy,
Speaker 1: wine helps.
Speaker 2: And whiny is optional. Hi, bestie, guys, we are back.
Speaker 2: We probably our most like. I feel like these are
Speaker 2: fun episodes. They are fun the life updates, life updates,
Speaker 2: They're easy, brazy. You guys like them too. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: really enjoy just chit chat chit chat away and just
Speaker 2: telling me each other about our lives.
Speaker 1: I'm on you, guys, but we are staring at each other.
Speaker 1: You guys are not physically in the room with us.
Speaker 1: But it is meant for you guys.
Speaker 2: Totally, absolutely, absolutely, And I know I maybe left y'all
Speaker 2: hanging like, yes, what story I did? Oh my gosh. Anyhow,
Speaker 2: But well we'll get into that when we get into that.
Speaker 1: Yes, you have our wine today, We do have our wine.
Speaker 3: This is a wine that I got when I was
Speaker 3: up in Boise, which that is part of my life updates.
Speaker 3: So we'll get there when we get there. But I
Speaker 3: tried this while we were up there at a small
Speaker 3: little wine tasting in a grocery store because apparently you
Speaker 3: can do that up there. You know, Utah sucks sometimes.
Speaker 1: But anyway, this is called Conundrum red Blend and it
Speaker 1: comes from the Wagner family. It says, the nose is
Speaker 1: full of bright red fruits and luscious mikes of tart,
Speaker 1: raspberry and earth tannins are welcoming with an impressive linger
Speaker 1: and a hint of cocoa powder. And wait for it,
Speaker 1: we are getting crazy here. It was twenty three ninety nine.
Speaker 2: What why you went over our over the budget, how
Speaker 2: dairy becaus and.
Speaker 1: Over the.
Speaker 2: More funny?
Speaker 1: But anyway, okay, yeah, let's do it. Oh shoots, I know,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I put it in a wrong spot.
Speaker 2: Well, I I touched the chord, so my bad. If
Speaker 2: there was gong, if there was weird gong knowings. Okay,
Speaker 2: but that does have the legs be legging. M that's
Speaker 2: a good leg.
Speaker 1: That is a good leg.
Speaker 4: Swirling, sniff, sniff and swirl.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've already tried it, so I just wanted to
Speaker 3: see what your thoughts were.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really good. Is that good? Yes?
Speaker 4: Okay, yes, it's like it's like it's like full in
Speaker 4: a nice way.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But so it finishes so soft and smooth. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I'm here for this. Yes, oh I'm glad. I know.
Speaker 3: He was like when we were tasting it, he Katie
Speaker 3: and I both really loved it. Katie my cousin, we
Speaker 3: both really loved it, and I want to get this
Speaker 3: to turn on the pod. Because when he was describing,
Speaker 3: he's like, this is there just middle of the road
Speaker 3: wine that like literally is a crowdpeaser. He's like nine
Speaker 3: out of ten people usually like it.
Speaker 2: Whoa. He's like, you know, so.
Speaker 1: You got it?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Could you imagine if I was like the one
Speaker 2: at the time, one that was.
Speaker 1: Like, no, this is nasty girl.
Speaker 2: I'm like I hate this whatever, get out of here.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, I really love it. I would read
Speaker 2: it maybe like four or five.
Speaker 1: And That's where I'm at. Are you I love it? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So this is one of those times where above twenty
Speaker 3: did work out.
Speaker 2: Yes, but I would still consider it.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not like expensive twenties. It's like three
Speaker 3: dollars over our budget. But yeah, yeah, no, this is
Speaker 3: not that we have a budget. We just kind of
Speaker 3: started doing that.
Speaker 1: I think we did.
Speaker 2: I think we did just start doing that and then
Speaker 2: we kind of like rolled with it.
Speaker 3: We were like partly just because where we're both at
Speaker 3: in life as we just needed the budget.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, totally, totally, And I think it's just fun too,
Speaker 2: like let's try all the freaking dang wines in that age.
Speaker 1: But this is good.
Speaker 3: I think I think I went a little higher just
Speaker 3: because it was like vacation and this and that. So
Speaker 3: I think vacation wines get a pass. Yes, I'm here
Speaker 3: for it. That was really good.
Speaker 2: That nice move to make glad you loved it.
Speaker 3: Love it so because this one talked about tannins in
Speaker 3: the little blurb about it, Today's wine one on one
Speaker 3: is about tannins and what they.
Speaker 2: Are, Okay, because I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know either, so we're gonna find out today.
Speaker 3: So it says tannins are natural compounds found in grape skins, seeds,
Speaker 3: and stems, and also in oak barrels. They give wine
Speaker 3: a dry, slightly bitter or puckery feeling in your mouth,
Speaker 3: especially around your gums and tongue. It's not a taste
Speaker 3: so much as a feeling, kind of like what happens
Speaker 3: when you sip.
Speaker 1: Over steeped black tea.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 3: It says white wines have very little to know tannins
Speaker 3: unless they've been oaked, because they're made without grape skins.
Speaker 3: Because that's also where red wine gets its color, is
Speaker 3: the skins.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay, this is all making sense.
Speaker 3: So it says why do tannins matter. Tannins give red
Speaker 3: wine its backbone and aging potential. They can balance out
Speaker 3: sweetness or fruitiness, and tannic wines are awesome with rich
Speaker 3: fatty foods like steak cream cheeses, because the fat smooths
Speaker 3: the tannins out.
Speaker 2: Interesting. That's why you always pair red with like your
Speaker 2: red meats and stuff.
Speaker 1: Especially a more robust red coat.
Speaker 4: The more you know, the more you know the little rainbow.
Speaker 2: Just like a little head. The more you know that
Speaker 2: is good to know. And that makes sense, like the
Speaker 2: way it feels, because have you ever eaten like a
Speaker 2: lot of grape, Like your mouth feels like a little different. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if that makes any sense, but yeah, and it's true.
Speaker 2: It is the skin, you know, whereas like I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've ever like had appeeled grape.
Speaker 2: That's super random, but you would just know the inside
Speaker 2: is just like it's.
Speaker 4: Like kind of mushy, mmmmm interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Another fun fact is, because this would be too short
Speaker 1: to be a wine one on one anyway. But wine
Speaker 1: grapes versus table grapes, wine grapes have a much thicker
Speaker 1: skin too.
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't know that. I guess I didn't know
Speaker 2: the difference that there was, like a wine grape and
Speaker 2: a table there.
Speaker 3: Are considered table grapes. Yeah, so I wonder if you
Speaker 3: like you would them, Like, do not want to eat
Speaker 3: a wine grape? I've tried. They're pretty terrible.
Speaker 1: Oh well, now I want to try one just juice.
Speaker 1: Like juice grapes also terrible to eat what They're so
Speaker 1: sickeningly sweet and mushy. Because I have a big old
Speaker 1: bush of welches concord well, I guess not welches, but
Speaker 1: concord grapes backyard. And I was so excited when I
Speaker 1: first saw him, and I'm like, ooh grapes and I
Speaker 1: went to eat him.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: It was the worst thing I have ever tasted in
Speaker 1: my whole life.
Speaker 2: Really, not me, just finding out that there's different types
Speaker 2: of grapes like juice table wine. I just thought they
Speaker 2: were all the same. And you just like use them
Speaker 2: for different things. Nope. Wow.
Speaker 1: So also the more.
Speaker 2: You know, we both just did a rainbow of our hands,
Speaker 2: not me learning at thirty three.
Speaker 1: It's fine. That's the whole point of this segment.
Speaker 2: I know, I love it. That was good to know.
Speaker 2: That was really good to know. Yeah, oh my goodness. Anyway, great,
Speaker 2: So Ellie he.
Speaker 1: Left us hang in. Yes, yes, but we might not
Speaker 1: start there. So yeah, we might not let you get there.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was just grabbing my phone because I had to, Like, y'all,
Speaker 2: I have to. We have to make notes or we
Speaker 2: forget things because I'm like, where busy, what's happening? Like
Speaker 2: what is life? Also, I do like a Google calendar
Speaker 2: and it's coordinated, and that's I literally have to look
Speaker 2: back at it and be like, okay, oh yeah I
Speaker 2: did that. Yeah that's what I did that day. AnyWho,
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to find the name of this restaurant
Speaker 2: and I can't freaking find it. So it's making me
Speaker 2: a little sad because I'm like, oh, I was going
Speaker 2: to tell y'all just right now about it so that
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 1: Have to like circle back a bit.
Speaker 2: But it's in logan it's basically what I was going
Speaker 2: to say, is my My month in June started off
Speaker 2: with a girl's brunch, Like me and my girlfriends went
Speaker 2: to brunch up in Logan and my friend Natalie recommended
Speaker 2: this restaurant that I'd never heard of in Logan and
Speaker 2: it was so freaking good. Oh you know what, it's
Speaker 2: probably in my stories, so whoa, So as I'm talking,
Speaker 2: I'll probably just go into my archives or whatever. But anyway,
Speaker 2: we went up there and it was just so fun.
Speaker 2: It was like a full day, like just excursion or whatever.
Speaker 2: Because Logan is like an hour away from here from all,
Speaker 2: So if y'all have never been up there, I need
Speaker 2: y'all to just go check it out because it was
Speaker 2: delicious and the vibes were just vibin. Okay, I pulled
Speaker 2: it up. It's called herms In, so h e r
Speaker 2: M herms In and it's in Logan, and the vibes
Speaker 2: were just immaculate.
Speaker 3: Like main street or is it like out like off
Speaker 3: of the main part of the off off like it's
Speaker 3: almost as it.
Speaker 1: Sounds like it would be cute main street vibes. It
Speaker 1: does sound like it does have a cute main street
Speaker 1: It does.
Speaker 2: It does, but it's definitely wasn't on Main Street. It
Speaker 2: was like up by the mountains more and so you
Speaker 2: drove through this really cute like neighborhood to get there
Speaker 2: and we sat outside and the patio was just a vibe.
Speaker 2: The mountains were there, like the vibes are just the
Speaker 2: vibes were viban. And so that's actually what I do
Speaker 2: with my girlfriend. So I have two like girl groups,
Speaker 2: I guess you can say like girlfriend groups. And so
Speaker 2: those ones, the ones that we do brunch with.
Speaker 1: We call each other. We call ourselves the DBB.
Speaker 2: But anyho, we try to get together at least like
Speaker 2: every six weeks to do brunch just because our lives
Speaker 2: are so busy, like everybody's a mom and all the things,
Speaker 2: and so anyhow, that was so fun that we're like,
Speaker 2: I think this is just going to be our like
Speaker 2: go to it's like this place here that's nice. And
Speaker 2: my other girlfriends they're my high school girlfriends, and we
Speaker 2: call it.
Speaker 1: She has names for her girl groups and it's so cute.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I know I have a girl group name.
Speaker 2: You need that.
Speaker 1: It just needs to be normalized. Everybody who has a
Speaker 1: girlfriend group.
Speaker 3: Side note we do currently have our girls group chat
Speaker 3: is called the Escalante Ladies because our last girl strip
Speaker 3: was to Escalante. Oh and we've never changed the name,
Speaker 3: so now we're just Escalonte Ladies.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's your guys's girl group name. Then that's your
Speaker 2: guys's girl group name. I mean, you you have a
Speaker 2: you have to have a story behind it, so like
Speaker 2: the dbbs have a story behind it. Actually, well what does.
Speaker 1: That stand for? I've always wondered, if you don't mind sharing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so the DBB stands for dose Baddest Bitches,
Speaker 2: which does as in doze like baby bear. Yeah. So,
Speaker 2: like real quickly, long story short. One day, my because
Speaker 2: the girl group was never named, it was just like
Speaker 2: all the girlfriend's names on there, if that makes any sense.
Speaker 2: And one day my brother grabbed my phone and changed
Speaker 2: the girl group like or just updated the name to
Speaker 2: like Baddest Bitches or whatever.
Speaker 1: So we're like whatever, we are the Baddest Bitches.
Speaker 2: And then we went to Vegas for one of my
Speaker 2: girlfriend's like bachelorette party. This was years ago, and it
Speaker 2: was like three o'clock in the morning and we're just
Speaker 2: like vibing in the club and it's like close to
Speaker 2: closing time. It's like starting to be like four am
Speaker 2: whatever that was like back in the day when you
Speaker 2: can actually like hang that late. And so me and
Speaker 2: Mike and we're like just dancing or whatever, and then
Speaker 2: we could see like our friend te just kind of
Speaker 2: maybe like three four feet away from us, and she
Speaker 2: was kind of dancing solo, like doing her own thing,
Speaker 2: and we're like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it, girl.
Speaker 2: But me and Mike and were like dancing closer and
Speaker 2: like facing each other. All of a sudden, the lights
Speaker 2: are slowly starting to come on and you can see
Speaker 2: that everybody's kind of like dwindling. Yeah, like there's not
Speaker 2: as many people out that late, and we see the
Speaker 2: sky from like the corner of our eyes, like dead
Speaker 2: pan stare at Tea like that was his mission. That
Speaker 2: was his goal, was to get to Tea. And he
Speaker 2: literally walked right through, right in between Mike and I,
Speaker 2: and it was all like the biggest slow mo, like
Speaker 2: he's just like staring at her, walking straight towards her.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's thinking she's by herself. And then as
Speaker 2: he walks right past us, me and Mike and look
Speaker 2: at each other and we say everything with our eyes
Speaker 2: and we're like, Nope, this is not happening. So then
Speaker 2: we run over and Tea bless her, she's just like
Speaker 2: still Vivian, just like living her life. So we run
Speaker 2: over and we grab her and we pull her out
Speaker 2: of the dance floor, and then we find all our
Speaker 2: other girlfriends and it's like four am. We're like, okay,
Speaker 2: we're done.
Speaker 1: We're done.
Speaker 2: Let's go home. And anyway, so we get back to
Speaker 2: our hotel room and we're like re enacting the scene
Speaker 2: and we're like, you know, when you like tell the
Speaker 2: story and it's like a million times funnier when you're
Speaker 2: drunk and it just happened. We're like yeah.
Speaker 1: And then anyways, he like comes up. He was like
Speaker 1: a hyena.
Speaker 2: Like we were just describing that this was like the jungle,
Speaker 2: this was the wilderness, and there was this predator coming
Speaker 2: to two cute little do The cute little dough was
Speaker 2: Tea and we and so two of my girlfriends actually
Speaker 2: didn't go out that night, and so they started joking.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh my gosh, us does would have kicked
Speaker 2: the door in and we would have fought the predator.
Speaker 2: Like anyways, there was this whole thing, and so anyways,
Speaker 2: it's stuck. We're like we're now called the Doe's bad
Speaker 2: as Bitches because we're a bunch of little does out
Speaker 2: there just like fighting crime.
Speaker 1: So I actually have like a.
Speaker 2: A sticker of us going to Vegas and then there's
Speaker 2: like a picture of Like that.
Speaker 3: Totally makes sense now because I always I've seen that
Speaker 3: sticker many times.
Speaker 1: I knew I saw the dbb's and I know what
Speaker 1: that means. Yes, I know you guys go to Vegas
Speaker 1: a lot, but I was like the deer.
Speaker 2: You're like, what does the mean? And it's because they're
Speaker 2: Does and we're just dose.
Speaker 4: Anyways, whoa, that was the longest story to rail you,
Speaker 4: but I've always wondered what it meant.
Speaker 1: That was the biggest. Now on the tea, you're in
Speaker 1: on the tee all because of tea. Because of tea.
Speaker 1: I know, I gave you a look like I filled
Speaker 1: it in.
Speaker 2: That was good. That was good. But then my other
Speaker 2: girl group, It's so funny, we literally didn't have a
Speaker 2: girl group either. And then one day me and I
Speaker 2: was just like updated it to squad squad and we're
Speaker 2: like sure yeah, We're like sure, sure it'll stick well,
Speaker 2: we'll keep it. But anyhow, all that to say, I
Speaker 2: went to brunch with the dvbs and then with the
Speaker 2: squat squad we go do coffee dates. So anyhow, that's
Speaker 2: just kind of like a thing we do. And I
Speaker 2: would just highly encourage y'all, like if you have a
Speaker 2: little girl group, we're just a girlfriend like kind of
Speaker 2: make it a thing like a date, like every month
Speaker 2: you go get coffee or you go get a beer
Speaker 2: or like whatever. So that was really fun. So we
Speaker 2: did that, and then a couple of my girlfriends the
Speaker 2: following weekend we went to go see did you go
Speaker 2: watch The Materialist?
Speaker 1: No, I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 2: I want to. I don't want to spoil it then
Speaker 2: and I'm not gonna yeah, but AnyWho, Yeah, we went
Speaker 2: to go see that movie. And I wasn't a big
Speaker 2: big fan, but I was kind of a fan, but
Speaker 2: not a big fan. And I can't spoil it because
Speaker 2: you haven't watched it. So AnyWho. So there's that one.
Speaker 2: And then so I was saying, how like me and
Speaker 2: my girlfriends do like coffee dates and stuff with the
Speaker 2: squad squad. So the last time we were doing coffee dates,
Speaker 2: I was like isn't it Rachel's birthday coming up? And
Speaker 2: so anyway, shout out to Rachel. Her birthday was on
Speaker 2: the twenty fourth of June, so a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: If it's dropping, yeah here in the next week. But anyho,
Speaker 2: we're like, instead of meeting up for coffee, let's do
Speaker 2: a little birthday dinner for Rachel. So I have like
Speaker 2: a ton of like picnic like setup stuff. So I
Speaker 2: like the table. Yeah, I love hosting, Like, I feel
Speaker 2: like that's just one of the things I love doing.
Speaker 2: You're really good, Queen's posting we are that we need
Speaker 2: to we need to do an episode about that. Actually
Speaker 2: we do because I love hosting. You love hosting. I
Speaker 2: feel like we go all out when we host, we do,
Speaker 2: you know. So it was just so fun, like setting
Speaker 2: up the picnic thing outside, and then I did like
Speaker 2: a cafe real style like pulled pork salad that night.
Speaker 2: And then I even branched out and I saw this
Speaker 2: recipe online for like lemon cake, and I made like
Speaker 2: a home made lemon cake for the first time ever,
Speaker 2: and I knocked.
Speaker 1: It out of the park. It's so good.
Speaker 2: Yes, I was really fun myself. Yeah, and it looked
Speaker 2: really cute like I did. So anyways, it was really
Speaker 2: fun having the girlfriends over and like celebrating Rachel and
Speaker 2: we had that. But you know what's a bummer is
Speaker 2: I actually live in town homes and like the HOA
Speaker 2: started the fucking sprinklers at like seven thirty or.
Speaker 4: Something like pick up your setup.
Speaker 1: So we were like, she had like this cute.
Speaker 3: Like low table and they were sitting on like pillows
Speaker 3: and blankets like it was adorable.
Speaker 1: That would be hard to just pick up and run.
Speaker 2: Oh I know. I even told them. I was like, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: I think the sprinklers are going to come on at eight,
Speaker 2: just because I've been monitoring when they go on. But
Speaker 2: then they got They turned on at like seven thirty.
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, here we go. So we
Speaker 2: were only there for like an hour.
Speaker 1: Tonight they turned on it was like five thirty. It's
Speaker 1: so weird.
Speaker 2: Like I need, literally I need to talk to my
Speaker 2: ho and be like, what are we doing schedule yes,
Speaker 2: because like.
Speaker 1: You need to know. I mean A, I mean it,
Speaker 1: I can't plan a barbecue if there's gonna sprinklers exactly,
Speaker 1: you're telling me I can't frolic in my own grass
Speaker 1: at like a PM, Like, what's so dump?
Speaker 2: What's happening? Yeah, And I feel like you should just
Speaker 2: water your lawn at like eleven PM, like when it's
Speaker 2: like cool.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know why ours at like the
Speaker 3: butt crack of dawn, so they're done by the time
Speaker 3: you wake up.
Speaker 4: Yes, you can still all the lawn that morning, totally,
Speaker 4: you know, yes, And so it's just weird. So anyhow,
Speaker 4: it was fine though. I didn't ruin our vibes.
Speaker 2: We just I have another outdoor table on my patio,
Speaker 2: so we just hung out there. So that was really
Speaker 2: fun and we did that. Okay, So that was one
Speaker 2: of my life updates. And then my next life update
Speaker 2: that everybody's wondering about, is my ankle just get out?
Speaker 2: But I was like, oh no, And then I'm like
Speaker 2: my ankle, no, but yeah, I am going to physical
Speaker 2: therapy for my ankle. My ankle feels better, y'all. And
Speaker 2: I'm no longer in a boot, I'm no longer wearing
Speaker 2: a brace. Nice. I only wear a brace now if I'm.
Speaker 4: Walking a little too much or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Playing pickleball, uh yeah, so I actually played pickleball y'all.
Speaker 2: For the first time ever this past Sunday, and I
Speaker 2: did it in a way where I was like playing
Speaker 2: like like a fourth of the court, so like my team,
Speaker 2: my teammate took their own side plus half of mine,
Speaker 2: so then I don't have to like shuffle jump. I
Speaker 2: can kind of just move up and down and then
Speaker 2: kind of just reach or whatever. And it was really fun.
Speaker 1: And I like I was just probably was so happy.
Speaker 2: It fed my soul. It literally fed my soul. I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I'm back, not fully but kind of,
Speaker 2: you know, So that felt really good. The bitch, the
Speaker 2: bitch is back with cookies and kuties. I brought like
Speaker 2: homemade cookies and katies too. I was like, hey, guys,
Speaker 2: I'm here again, Like.
Speaker 4: The bitch is back, but I brought cookies.
Speaker 1: It's fine.
Speaker 2: Oh you guys. I freaking loved it. I freaking loved it.
Speaker 2: So I'm glad I'm back like playing pickwall. So it
Speaker 2: was like, oh fun, it just made my life for you.
Speaker 2: Oh I loved it all right. Well, my last life
Speaker 2: update for the months. I guess I'll save the best
Speaker 2: for last or is it the best? I don't know,
Speaker 2: who knows?
Speaker 1: Who knows? Yeah, you can either can choose what your
Speaker 1: favorite is. Yes, you can consider this the best update
Speaker 1: or not. But just like my.
Speaker 2: Dating life, you know what I mean, Like the board off,
Speaker 2: it was what did I even end off with?
Speaker 1: Last were in a relationship? I'm just kidding, right like
Speaker 1: that real where did we left?
Speaker 2: Really? But that's such a true thing now that like
Speaker 2: when Kim was like where did we leave off? Because
Speaker 2: you literally don't remember, like I should have maybe played it?
Speaker 2: So I so then I can just like pick up
Speaker 2: where I left off, if that makes any sense. But anyhow,
Speaker 2: all that to say is, yes, I did a lot
Speaker 2: of dating in June, and I realize I have a
Speaker 2: lot of random X and it's so annoying because I'm like,
Speaker 2: can you on ick and ick?
Speaker 1: Who knows? According to Jade? And you can, but it's
Speaker 1: a lot of work.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, And here's the thing though, like I feel
Speaker 2: like there's like a scale of X and if it's
Speaker 2: not as bad, you can un it. Yes, if that
Speaker 2: depends on what it is. Yes, So AnyWho, there's a
Speaker 2: couple Oh my gosh, I should have written down the
Speaker 2: actual stories, but I guess I'll just tell you the
Speaker 2: most recent one. So I actually went on a date.
Speaker 2: So we're recording this. I don't even know when this
Speaker 2: release is next week. We were recording last week. So
Speaker 2: then I went on a date last week, last Monday, basically, okay,
Speaker 2: like the day before July first, anywhoon? Wow, so specific?
Speaker 2: Why would anybody want to know that? Why would they
Speaker 2: even need to know that?
Speaker 4: I on a date June thirtieth at five pm and
Speaker 4: we went to this place and here's the address, and
Speaker 4: I ate this.
Speaker 1: How about that? AnyWho?
Speaker 2: So there's so there's this guy I was talking to
Speaker 2: you for a while. I actually met him on Unhinge
Speaker 2: and I wasn't like super like into it at first.
Speaker 2: It was kind of one of those things where you
Speaker 2: just like match with them because like you maybe can
Speaker 2: or can't, if that makes any sense, Like you're not
Speaker 2: like super gun home like oh my gosh, yes right,
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, And so it was like very much a
Speaker 2: slow thing to like finally get to like talking more.
Speaker 2: All that to say is like he was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: like let me take you out on a date, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, sure, and so he was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: let's do let's do like Wednesday night or whatever. And
Speaker 2: I was like and this was like a week ago
Speaker 2: from our recording.
Speaker 1: I guess, whoa.
Speaker 2: It's so weird when it's like, wait, I guess when
Speaker 2: does this release.
Speaker 1: Let's do the math backwards.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a week ago from a week.
Speaker 4: You guys don't even need no last week of June.
Speaker 4: It was fine him head, it was five days before
Speaker 4: June thirtieth, so I think like our date was supposed
Speaker 4: to be on June twenty fifth, So like, oh.
Speaker 2: Wow, anyway, anyway, whoa Okay. So so all that to say,
Speaker 2: he was like, hey, let's go out whatever. I'm like, sure,
Speaker 2: let's do it. Let's go Wednesday. I'm like cool, great, Well,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I swear I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna be here forever on life updates. But it is
Speaker 2: so much so he like he's like a couple of
Speaker 2: days before that, he was like, yeah, can you send
Speaker 2: me a picture of you? And I'm like, I get
Speaker 2: like the biggest eye roll because I'm like, we're not.
Speaker 1: Like you can see my picture on hinge exactly like
Speaker 1: it was one of those I know enough to give
Speaker 1: you a privileged picture.
Speaker 2: Yet exactly here's the thing, because I'm not trying to
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to portray myself as like some saint.
Speaker 2: Like my girlfriends know the coolness and the realness of
Speaker 2: who who I am, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: All that to say is like, I'm definitely not a saint,
Speaker 2: but like every guy is different for me, if that
Speaker 2: makes sense. So like I'm with this guy. I was like,
Speaker 2: we're not having these conversations, like I didn't even open
Speaker 2: the door to that, Like we were just having super
Speaker 2: normal PG like conversations. For him to ask that, I
Speaker 2: was like, what do you what's happening here? I gave
Speaker 2: you an idea that that was okay, yes, yes, exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: I did not crack the door open for you to
Speaker 2: like just bust it down AnyWho. All that to say
Speaker 2: is I was like, oh, why do you need a
Speaker 2: picture Lottie dah And he's like, oh, just to like
Speaker 2: remember you. And I'm like, okay, well, you can just
Speaker 2: pull up my hinge mind you. I said this all
Speaker 2: super nice. I said, you can just pull up my
Speaker 2: hinge if you want, and he's like, oh, okay, you're funny,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, yeah, because you can see somebody I
Speaker 2: because you can see my hinge profile with my pictures anyhow.
Speaker 2: So then when we decided I mean on Wednesday that
Speaker 2: day or or the night before, I don't remember, doesn't
Speaker 2: matter AnyWho. I was like, he was like, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm can I ask you for a favor? And I'm
Speaker 2: like yeah, He's like, can you send me a picture?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: And so I was like yeah, like I'm just curious.
Speaker 2: So this was the second time he asked yes, and
Speaker 2: it was within like it wasn't the same day or
Speaker 2: like back to back. It was kind of like a
Speaker 2: couple still little icky, right anyho. So I was like,
Speaker 2: I kind of said in a really nice way, he said,
Speaker 2: I'm just really curious now, like why why are you
Speaker 2: asking for a photo of me? Like because I use
Speaker 2: no filters on my photos and they're all within the year.
Speaker 2: But I guess maybe guys don't know that. Regardless, he
Speaker 2: was like, well, it makes me feel like more comfortable,
Speaker 2: just like knowing like who I'm actually gonna go see.
Speaker 1: So I said, okay, that's valid. Fair.
Speaker 2: I said, how about this? What if we exchange photos?
Speaker 2: Like I send you a photo, you send me a photo. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And he's like okay, yeah, let's see that. So he
Speaker 2: sends me one. I send him one. I was dying.
Speaker 2: I was dying. I was like, oh my gosh, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, Oh my gosh, I'm getting caffish. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: I'm getting caffish. Oh, I'm like legit, Kelsey. I was like,
Speaker 2: this is not the same man I matched with. So
Speaker 2: I like pulled up his photo and so I kind
Speaker 2: of was like, okay, yeah, did that make you feel better?
Speaker 2: Like do you want to go again?
Speaker 1: I don't feel better? Yeah, no, totally.
Speaker 2: I was like, do you want to do one more?
Speaker 2: And he's like.
Speaker 1: Yes, like sure, So I said okay, and.
Speaker 2: I was like, maybe it's just a fluke. Maybe it's
Speaker 2: just that bad picture. Y. Yeah. So we like exchanged
Speaker 2: another photo and it was just as bad, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh no, what's happening. So I pulled up his hinge
Speaker 2: and I pulled up his most recents that he sent me,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, I get it now, like a
Speaker 2: he's hat fishing me. But also be like the photos
Speaker 2: he has on his dating profile are probably like a
Speaker 2: couple of years old, yeah, seven years ago, Like do
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like like that one story I told you yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 4: Jesus Christ, Yeah, I think it's okay.
Speaker 2: I don't have no idea, and so I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: I was less enthusiastic about the date, but I also
Speaker 2: didn't want to be a fucking asshole and be like, sorry,
Speaker 2: we're not going out a date anymore, because like your
Speaker 2: pictures Sun, like, I'm just not that person, Like I
Speaker 2: never want to be mean, I never want to be rude,
Speaker 2: and so I was just.
Speaker 1: Like, okay, yeah, cute, you look good, like.
Speaker 2: I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what
Speaker 2: to fucking say anyhow. So we still have this plan
Speaker 2: to go on out on Wednesday, and we're like talking,
Speaker 2: he feels good about it, whatever, and then you can
Speaker 2: tell he's starting asking me all these questions like well,
Speaker 2: what are you wearing today? Like I don't want to
Speaker 2: like overdress or underdress, and I'm like that's weird. Yes,
Speaker 2: I'm like, just swear whatever you feel most confident in.
Speaker 2: Like I was already just kind of over. I'm like,
Speaker 2: come on, my guy, just like where.
Speaker 1: You would ask a weird question for a guy to
Speaker 1: or a thing for a guy to say.
Speaker 2: Totally totally and so anyhow, I get in the shower
Speaker 2: because it's like the day, like he's asking me this
Speaker 2: literally hours before a date. So I get in the
Speaker 2: shower and I'm just so like lallagagging in the shower.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm not even excited anymore, but I'm still
Speaker 2: gonna do it because again, I'm not a fucking asshole,
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to ghost and I'm not going
Speaker 2: to cancel.
Speaker 1: So I shower, I get.
Speaker 2: Out of the fucking shower, Kelsey, oh no, and I
Speaker 2: get this text message from him and he's like, Okay,
Speaker 2: you're not going to believe this, but my brother's like
Speaker 2: sink is linking and I have to go fix it.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if we can do tonight or like,
Speaker 2: uh like maybe I can try my best to get
Speaker 2: out of there soon.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you're probably like so relieved but also
Speaker 1: fuming because you just spent the time to take that shower.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, because this was not just like a shower.
Speaker 1: This was like girls showering.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like in every bank, like an everything shower, do
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Ones that take like thirty to forty minutes, yeah, not
Speaker 3: like the ten minute yes, Like it's a hair the hair,
Speaker 3: the shaven, the exfoliation, the whole bank, the whole seven
Speaker 3: step care routineh you know.
Speaker 2: So I was like so at first, I was like, wait,
Speaker 2: did God just answer my prayers? Because I initially wasn't
Speaker 2: excited for the date.
Speaker 1: But then I was like who whoa, whoa, whoa wooh,
Speaker 1: hold on because I've done that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that and I'm like, you canceled on me? Whoa?
Speaker 1: What is happening here?
Speaker 2: What is happening?
Speaker 1: And so I was like, is this a way for
Speaker 1: him to get out of this?
Speaker 2: Like I was so confused on what was happening. So
Speaker 2: basically after that, I kind of just was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: no worries, Like no big deal. And then I was
Speaker 2: like this is going to be the telling sign, like
Speaker 2: if he doesn't want to see me, he won't try
Speaker 2: and reschedule exactly.
Speaker 1: But he was really good about it.
Speaker 2: He was like I'm so so sorry, Like let's reschedule,
Speaker 2: Like when can I see you next? So we did reschedule,
Speaker 2: like and it was very back and forth. I was like, well,
Speaker 2: I can't do Friday, Well you can't do Saturday, Well
Speaker 2: I can't do Sunday. Well how about all that? To
Speaker 2: say is he did work his hardest to reschedule, which
Speaker 2: then makes me think that I think it.
Speaker 1: Was a legit excuse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or I think because I was talking to my
Speaker 2: other friends about this, I honestly think based on the
Speaker 2: questions he was asking me about pictures and what he
Speaker 2: should wear and all the things that he might have
Speaker 2: social anxiety, I.
Speaker 1: Was gonna say, his nerves could have got the best of.
Speaker 2: Him, and I think it like overtook him and he
Speaker 2: was like, I just can't do it tonight, you know.
Speaker 2: So I also want to give him the benefit of
Speaker 2: the doubt in that way and just be like like
Speaker 2: like considerate about that, you know so, and you know
Speaker 2: all that. To say, long story short is we rescheduled
Speaker 2: to Monday, which at this recording it was just yesterday
Speaker 2: for me, And so I was like I was still
Speaker 2: again not super like excited about it because of course,
Speaker 2: like those pictures all the things, but I'm like, I
Speaker 2: don't want to be fucking rude. I get there, and
Speaker 2: it was kind of oddly a nice surprise because he
Speaker 2: just sucks at taking photos.
Speaker 1: Like like a lot of men do.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yet like to the extreme, totally like
Speaker 2: I think us. Girls are really good at taking photos.
Speaker 2: Guys are the complete opposite. They just freaking suck an
Speaker 2: you know. All that to say is he was way better,
Speaker 2: like good looking in person than his most recents. So
Speaker 2: it made me feel better. And he was really nice
Speaker 2: and kind, you know, So that was nice. But yes,
Speaker 2: that whoa, that was the longest story to just move
Speaker 2: into my ick face.
Speaker 1: That wasn't even that was the kelsey.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry my life updates dating is so long.
Speaker 1: We really could have just had a dating life up data.
Speaker 1: But for really.
Speaker 2: Anyway, the ick was there's this thing he was doing
Speaker 2: which bugged me because I think it bugs me when
Speaker 2: I know this other ran person I'm not super close
Speaker 2: with that does this and it gives me the ick.
Speaker 2: But he does this one thing where he'll like will
Speaker 2: joke and then he'll like inhale and like think he's funny.
Speaker 1: He'll be like ha ha ha joke, Like I don't
Speaker 1: know how to do it.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's just weird. It's just weird. I guess it's
Speaker 2: just weird for me. So I just looked at him
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: Like, oh no, anyone that does but do I do that.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, you know what's so funny? I
Speaker 2: told I told him, you know it's so funny. I
Speaker 2: told one of my girlfriends this last night, and she
Speaker 2: was like, you fucking bitch, I do that. And I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: you don't, No, you don't. It's this it's a weird way.
Speaker 2: It's hard to explain via recording, but like it's like
Speaker 2: they'll say something that they that they think is really
Speaker 2: funny and then they'll go like, oh, like yeah, not
Speaker 2: like that, like that's their last that's just it. It's
Speaker 2: like they're like they're like blah blah blah, and this
Speaker 2: is the punchline.
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, oh, okay, that okay. You know.
Speaker 2: So anyway, that was my egg and I just need
Speaker 2: to get fucking over it because it's not a big deal.
Speaker 2: It's just one of those things.
Speaker 1: But when it's already like something that drives you nets
Speaker 1: from somebody else, that is a hard thing to get over. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I think that was it.
Speaker 2: And then he reminded me of that person and I'm
Speaker 2: just all around and I'm nowhere near like like even
Speaker 2: think that person is cute. That it was like, oh,
Speaker 2: you're reminding me of a person that I don't think
Speaker 2: is like it was just a weird comparison. So anyw uh, Yeah,
Speaker 2: so that was that We'll kind of just see what
Speaker 2: happens there. Another random life update that's like in this realm.
Speaker 2: I totally forgot to mention was I threw a Yes
Speaker 2: the Singles night a mixer. I threw a mixture at
Speaker 2: a bar at the Red Light Bar here in Ogden,
Speaker 2: and it was actually a pretty good decent turnaround.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't talked, we haven't seen each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, there was a good amount of people that
Speaker 2: came out. People were excited the thing is and now realize,
Speaker 2: I mean it was my second time ever throwing it,
Speaker 2: and so you kind of just learn as you're doing
Speaker 2: these things. So if I do another one again, I
Speaker 2: need to be more like proactive and actually like making
Speaker 2: sure people mix and mingle because I kind of just thought.
Speaker 1: We're all to just do it.
Speaker 2: They would just do it.
Speaker 1: They didn't, so now they still sat in their groups.
Speaker 2: Yes, So now next time I was talking to like
Speaker 2: a couple of my girlfriends and stuff, they were like,
Speaker 2: you need to do games. So I think next time
Speaker 2: what I'm going to do is I'm either going to
Speaker 2: do like bingo or I'm going to do like a questionnaire, like, hey,
Speaker 2: here's a list of questions. Go ask the green band
Speaker 2: like people or whatever, because you work like a green
Speaker 2: wrist band if you were single, like ask them these questions,
Speaker 2: get the answer, and if you get all the answers
Speaker 2: before anybody else like yeah or whatever, whatever, it is
Speaker 2: like you get a prize whatever.
Speaker 1: So it's going to kind of like cute icebreaker.
Speaker 2: Yes, So it.
Speaker 1: Encourages people to be like, hey, can I ask you
Speaker 1: a quick question?
Speaker 2: And then if you're.
Speaker 1: Vibe and your then I would think the same thing
Speaker 1: because you know, the whole point you're.
Speaker 3: Going there is to find someone. Yes, So in my
Speaker 3: head that would mean like, okay, well now I have
Speaker 3: the green light to talk to these people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but they weren't, especially because you would also think
Speaker 4: the people that are going to this are open enough
Speaker 4: too and bold.
Speaker 1: Enough yes to do go out of that comfort zone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but apparently no.
Speaker 2: And here's the thing though, I applaud the people that
Speaker 2: went and were really shy, Like there was this guy
Speaker 2: who went and he was sitting by himself, and you know,
Speaker 2: he went just for that and I'm like, hey, are
Speaker 2: you here for the mixer and he's like yeah, and
Speaker 2: he was wearing a green wristband but he was just
Speaker 2: sitting by himself. And I'm like, because I had like
Speaker 2: a big group of people that just like came to
Speaker 2: support me, but then they were also in the mixer too,
Speaker 2: so we had a table reserved for us. So I
Speaker 2: was like, dude, just come over and sit with us,
Speaker 2: like it's so fine. Like so we encouraged the people
Speaker 2: who like just went by themselves to like sit with
Speaker 2: us and stuff like that. And so AnyWho, I've just
Speaker 2: I learned a lot and I'm like, I need to
Speaker 2: be more proactive and like I have like icebreaker type
Speaker 2: two ice breaker so that people are kind of more
Speaker 2: encouraged like talk to one another. AnyWho. All that to
Speaker 2: say with that update was I was feeling a little unhinged.
Speaker 2: I think it was that same day and I like
Speaker 2: texted all these guys on my contact list that.
Speaker 3: I use like no, no, no, yes, yes, I would
Speaker 3: ask all of the She asked her friends if it
Speaker 3: was a yes or no, and I'm like, girl, do.
Speaker 4: Not open that can of worms. She did it anyway,
Speaker 4: I did it. I he does it for the plot.
Speaker 4: I do it for the plot every single time.
Speaker 2: I literally have guys numbers saved from like years ago,
Speaker 2: like I look back and I'm like, oh, yeah, we
Speaker 2: talked in twenty twenty two, you know. So I just
Speaker 2: literally did a copy and paste like copy and paste
Speaker 2: message and sent image. I sent it to like twenty
Speaker 2: guys or something. Right, yeah, only a handful, like wrote back.
Speaker 2: Some of them were funny. Anyhow, long story short, There
Speaker 2: was this one guy who was like wait, sorry, like
Speaker 2: I deleted this, like who are you? And I read
Speaker 2: back his messages and he was actually really nice. So
Speaker 2: I matched with him back in twenty twenty two and
Speaker 2: we had really good conversation and then he dropped off
Speaker 2: for like a couple of weeks as per like the
Speaker 2: text messages or whatever. And then he circled back and
Speaker 2: was like, hey, like, how's it going. Sorry, I thought,
Speaker 2: replied to you. And then apparently by that time I
Speaker 2: had formed a better connection with somebody else, so I said, hey,
Speaker 2: like I actually have another connection, like we'll just have
Speaker 2: to drop this convo.
Speaker 1: And he was like yeah, no worries, like best of luck.
Speaker 1: So he was super nice about it that I was
Speaker 1: open to like seeing what's Yeah, it happened. So I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, sure.
Speaker 2: So I sent him a picture of me and he's like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, you're like, hi, get to meet you again,
Speaker 2: Like you look great. He's like, yeah, I can't make
Speaker 2: it tonight, but if I was there, like I would
Speaker 2: wear a green watband, would you do the same, And
Speaker 2: if so, would you want to take this outside of
Speaker 2: the mixer again? And so I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: are you read ninety So anyways, we started talking. We
Speaker 2: literally talked Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and like even just
Speaker 2: the next day, like that Saturday, he was like, hey,
Speaker 2: like let me take you out, like let's go out
Speaker 2: on a date. And I'm like cool, great, yeah right,
Speaker 2: so he was like, yeah, let's do Thursday, and I'm
Speaker 2: like cool, great, Thursday works.
Speaker 1: We can go to whatever bar.
Speaker 2: So we talk, talk, talk, and then Monday kind of
Speaker 2: just drops, which I'm not like, I don't really care
Speaker 2: because like we don't have.
Speaker 1: To talk every day and life gets busy. Life gets busy.
Speaker 2: So Monday's like the last communication day. We have our
Speaker 2: date on Thursday. I don't hear from him on Tuesday fine,
Speaker 2: don't hear from him on Wednesday?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Fine, but also not fully fine because our date is
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and so I figure out complete plans.
Speaker 2: That and like any normal person would confirm date the
Speaker 2: night before, yeah, like, hey, are we still on for
Speaker 2: tomorrow night?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yes, sorry, see we still.
Speaker 2: Yeah exactly, So I said, all right, Ellie, it's fine,
Speaker 2: no big deal that he didn't. Maybe he'll just confirm
Speaker 2: on Thursday. Thursday comes nothing in the morning. You're good,
Speaker 2: nothing in the morning. And then I'm like texting somewhere
Speaker 2: my girlfriends and I'm like, am I fucking over this?
Speaker 2: And they're like, yep, be over it.
Speaker 4: And then some of my other friends are like, no,
Speaker 4: just it wouldn't hurt to like send just like a
Speaker 4: quick little message.
Speaker 2: I'm like, chat, GPT, am I over this?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: AnyWho? All that to say is I'm like, fine, I'll
Speaker 2: just do it. So I send one message and I said, hey,
Speaker 2: just reaching out to see if we're still on for tonight.
Speaker 2: No pressure, no worries either way, or something like that,
Speaker 2: to where it's like, dude, it's fucking fine if you
Speaker 2: can't make it tonight, right, yeah, but let me know
Speaker 2: but just let me know. Do you think I got
Speaker 2: a message back?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Do you think I ever got a response back?
Speaker 1: You still have not nothing?
Speaker 2: Nah?
Speaker 1: Thing the fuck? What the fuck?
Speaker 2: The bamboozlement of all times, the bamboozle all the time you'll.
Speaker 1: Hear from this week? Oh sorry, I thought, I replied.
Speaker 2: Right, could you imagine you screenshot it and be like, dude, Siri,
Speaker 2: if he does do that, I literally will that is crazy.
Speaker 2: But I literally was like, are you fucking kidding me? Like, like,
Speaker 2: in what planet do you think that's okay? Just you
Speaker 2: you said we're going on a day and if we're not,
Speaker 2: just say we're not.
Speaker 3: Like it's not because you shared a picture of the
Speaker 3: text message you sent all these guys and you said, hey,
Speaker 3: it's not I'm not trying to kindle anything.
Speaker 1: I'm literally just inviting you if you're still single. Absolutely
Speaker 1: that's how you opened it. Yes, so he was the
Speaker 1: one that rekindled it, not you exactly.
Speaker 2: For him to just completely drop off, just say you
Speaker 2: can't dude, like that's all you have to say. So
Speaker 2: it was the weirdest thing, and you know what, so
Speaker 2: funny it was, like so the way the two stories
Speaker 2: I just told that that Wednesday night was the night
Speaker 2: I was gonna go on a date with that other
Speaker 2: guy who said the whole leaking faucet, and then Thursday night,
Speaker 2: the next night was the night with the guy who
Speaker 2: eventually ghosted me.
Speaker 1: It was like it was like back to back.
Speaker 2: I was like it was I literally I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh. I was like, Universe, what do you
Speaker 2: what are you trying to tell me right now? Like
Speaker 2: I feel like that was such a big sign from
Speaker 2: the universe to be like fucking chill, like I'm taking
Speaker 2: all this away so that like I'm preparing you for
Speaker 2: something else or whatever. It was just the weirdest thing anyway, weird.
Speaker 2: Those were my dating story updates, and they were just
Speaker 2: oh my god, Like June was just the weirdest fucking
Speaker 2: dating time of my life. And so anyhow, I'm sure
Speaker 2: I'll have way more juicy stuff for July because things
Speaker 2: are happening.
Speaker 1: And maybe that was I just didn't want to spoil anything.
Speaker 1: But maybe that's why that happened. You know what's funny,
Speaker 1: this thing that's going to happen.
Speaker 2: No, absolutely to be absolutely like I tell my girlfriends
Speaker 2: this and I'm like I honestly think the universe said
Speaker 2: this because I have somebody who like I see as
Speaker 2: my endgame and like hopefully it pans out. So I
Speaker 2: don't want to keep talking about it because.
Speaker 3: Of July or early August. I don't remember the exact
Speaker 3: day before. But next life update. Next I have some
Speaker 3: big tea for.
Speaker 2: Us, big tea on like some dating stuff. And she
Speaker 2: texts her, your girl just might be engaged in a month.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm so sorry. I yeap so long kill So
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3: Okay to all of us have had crazy Junes, so
Speaker 3: mine's also probably going to be a little long winded.
Speaker 1: Okay, no, love it, keep keep it going. June was busy,
Speaker 1: but it was also a really hard month for me.
Speaker 1: Will has been gone a lot.
Speaker 3: Which I had talked about that was coming up in
Speaker 3: our last life update that he was gonna be gone
Speaker 3: basically every single weekend of June and the one weekend
Speaker 3: he's home, I was gone. So just never really saw him,
Speaker 3: like during the weekdays if he was home, because he
Speaker 3: would like leave on like a Thursday, come on Sunday
Speaker 3: or Monday, so it was just like he'd be home
Speaker 3: two days.
Speaker 1: But those days.
Speaker 3: He also still had to work, and we work office
Speaker 3: his schedules, so literally didn't see him.
Speaker 1: A whole lot.
Speaker 3: He is very sweet, in one of those guys that
Speaker 3: he always makes a point to call me regardless of
Speaker 3: how busy his day is, even if it's just for
Speaker 3: ten minutes. But there are also days that we're talking
Speaker 3: on the phone for two hours, like you know, so
Speaker 3: he's at least he's he's very good at that. But
Speaker 3: I did have a couple really hard, really sad days
Speaker 3: where I just was like bawling most of the day
Speaker 3: because I just was like lonely, you know. Like it's
Speaker 3: nice like during like normal time when he's gone every
Speaker 3: once in a while just to have my space and
Speaker 3: get some stuff done mm hmm, but like having it
Speaker 3: just be all the time was hard.
Speaker 1: So it was really hard. But luckily his work travels
Speaker 1: are done for a minute. He's got another one in
Speaker 1: like mid July, but we have a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: where he's not traveling, and then after the one in July,
Speaker 1: he's done until we were state hockey starts back up,
Speaker 1: and then he'll travel like just for a day or two. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he's home. He's home everybody.
Speaker 2: He's home.
Speaker 1: The dark days are over. The dark days are over.
Speaker 1: But luckily what we had our fourth first date anniversary.
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I think I've told you that
Speaker 1: in the past. I don't know when our actual like
Speaker 1: get together anniversary was it that it was some time
Speaker 1: in the fall. Yeah, so I just have marked our
Speaker 1: first date. So he was actually home that day, so
Speaker 1: we actually were able to have a date night and
Speaker 1: we went and saw the live action How to Train
Speaker 1: Your Dragon. Oh okay, it was so good. But I
Speaker 1: also love How to Train Your Dragon. It's one of
Speaker 1: my favorite animated movies.
Speaker 2: Love it. But it was so cute.
Speaker 1: They did so good.
Speaker 4: I was obsessed.
Speaker 1: I was crying.
Speaker 2: Loved it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so I was also just gonna say I
Speaker 1: did start my June in basically Logan as well North
Speaker 1: Logan for that fifty five mile bike ride for women's
Speaker 1: cancer research in honor of my aunt Mary. It was
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It was mom and Me a themed,
Speaker 1: which one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 2: Love it.
Speaker 3: I will probably do it again next year because it
Speaker 3: was a lot of fun. I'll definitely get some padded
Speaker 3: shorts though, because the only thing that I would complain
Speaker 3: about like my rest.
Speaker 1: My body was fine. I did it just fine, but
Speaker 1: my butt was so sore for like three days, I
Speaker 1: could barely sit down. It was so bad. So now
Speaker 1: I know I need padded shorts because nobody warned me. Well,
Speaker 1: I was telling her, and you should also get like
Speaker 1: a padded seat. Yeah, well, it wasn't my bike, it
Speaker 1: wasn't e bike.
Speaker 3: I didn't want to invest in a bike seat when
Speaker 3: it's not mine and nobody but also we had had
Speaker 3: that conversation like literally the day or two before I
Speaker 3: was the bike ride.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 1: But yeah, nobody thought even though I was with a
Speaker 1: couple of people, my two aunts that have done this
Speaker 1: every year for a long time, they didn't think to
Speaker 1: tell me. My mom did it last year. She didn't
Speaker 1: think to tell me. And my mom has a pair
Speaker 1: that I could just borrowed. But whatever, goodness, but now
Speaker 1: I know for next year. Yeah, but it was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I'm really proud of myself.
Speaker 3: Like I said, I still did it on e bike,
Speaker 3: but that was still fifty five miles five and a
Speaker 3: half hours.
Speaker 1: I could never yeah, I could never. It was hard.
Speaker 3: My aunt Cindy actually still did it on her regular
Speaker 3: street bike, so she showed out to her. Yeah, it
Speaker 3: was a long day, but it was fun. And then
Speaker 3: back to the wine story. I went to Boise for
Speaker 3: my beautiful cousin's bridal shower. We stayed at her and
Speaker 3: her fiance's new home.
Speaker 1: It is stunning. It is like a resort.
Speaker 2: It looks so nice.
Speaker 3: It is the prettiest home ever. And the people that
Speaker 3: owned it before it was their new build. It was
Speaker 3: supposed to be like their dream home, so they thought
Speaker 3: of literally everything. But I guess the guy like ran
Speaker 3: into some like he made some poor like business decisions
Speaker 3: and I couldn't afford the home anymore. YadA YadA. But
Speaker 3: it's luckily for my cousin. They hired a gorgeous home. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it is funny though it is a fully smart home.
Speaker 3: Everything's ran off of their like apps on their phone,
Speaker 3: so they were to lose power or Wi Fi.
Speaker 1: They could barely even flush their toilets.
Speaker 2: That's insane. Hi, there has to be like a generator.
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's something. I never asked. We just thought
Speaker 1: it was funny because even their toilets were smart toilets.
Speaker 2: No freaking way, Wait, how do you flush them?
Speaker 1: It just senses it. Oh no, it's an automatic thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you walk in and it opens the lid. It
Speaker 1: senses that it knows when to close the lid. The
Speaker 1: toilet seats are heated, and then it senses whether you
Speaker 1: do one or two, so it does the how powerful
Speaker 1: the flesh needs to be. It's bizarre.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what if you need a flesh again?
Speaker 3: Though there was a little button still, Ok, there was
Speaker 3: like a little button on the wall you could push.
Speaker 3: There was also a button that would like l There
Speaker 3: was also another little teeny button that would lift up
Speaker 3: the seat so if a guy was gonna go pee,
Speaker 3: because it doesn't just open that obviously.
Speaker 2: Could you imagine it like scans your private parts, see
Speaker 2: if you're like, like, are you gonna.
Speaker 1: Go up or damn?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Anyway, but yeah, like they're blinds.
Speaker 3: Their lights everything run from an app So that was crazy.
Speaker 3: But it was stunning and she looked beautiful for her
Speaker 3: bidal shower. Her wedding is in July, so I'll have
Speaker 3: that for the next update. But one of the days
Speaker 3: we were supposed to like hang out the pool because
Speaker 3: they have a gorgeous pool, but it ended up being
Speaker 3: like chilly and kind of drizzly, so we were like, well,
Speaker 3: what do we do because they had just moved into
Speaker 3: the home like two weeks earlier, so they're still trying
Speaker 3: to unpack and her and get ready for the shower
Speaker 3: because the shower was at their house, so this day
Speaker 3: was we were kind of just gonna be on our
Speaker 3: own like whatever.
Speaker 1: So while they finished unpacking, she just told us. She's like,
Speaker 1: there's like.
Speaker 3: A huge Albertson's like marketplace kind of thing up there,
Speaker 3: and she's like, yeah, you can go over there and
Speaker 3: just grab a glass of wine and walk around.
Speaker 1: We're like we can what now we can do? Say
Speaker 1: that one more time? Say it again? So she's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you want to, just like go do that for
Speaker 1: a minute whatever, and we're like okay, so we go.
Speaker 1: But then we also we start walking. We're like trying
Speaker 1: to walk in. We're like, wait, we didn't ask questions
Speaker 1: like where do we procure this glass?
Speaker 2: Right? Yes, where where do you get it from?
Speaker 1: So we go in, We're like, I don't. There's like
Speaker 1: a food court like to the left or to the right,
Speaker 1: and so we're like, let's go check over there. Sure, shit,
Speaker 1: there's a bar, but we also don't know if that's
Speaker 1: still where you get it from because it's an actual bar.
Speaker 1: And we're like, well, it doesn't say anything about no
Speaker 1: alcohol be beyond this point, so I think this is where.
Speaker 1: So we walk up to the bar and Katie's like
Speaker 1: getting so nervous, and I'm a girl, let's just let's
Speaker 1: just be honest and say we have no idea what
Speaker 1: the fuck we're doing. Yeah, So we finally go in.
Speaker 1: This girl, the bartender, she's like, what can I get
Speaker 1: you guys? And we're like, so we heard a rumor.
Speaker 1: We're like, we're from out of town.
Speaker 4: Can we get the glass and walk around?
Speaker 1: And she's like yeah, and she's like where are you from.
Speaker 4: We're like, Utah, and she's like oh, She's like makes sense,
Speaker 4: this is an experience for you and we're like yes,
Speaker 4: And so we both pick our wine and we could
Speaker 4: have had like a cocktail or a beer, like you
Speaker 4: can walk around with whatever, but we're like the wine.
Speaker 1: Stuck with us, right, mmmmmmm.
Speaker 3: So we both pick out our wines and the bartender's like,
Speaker 3: and you want the big poor right, and we're like yes,
Speaker 3: that's a thing. She's like yeah, I'm like, yeah, so
Speaker 3: we get glasses of wine and we gotta start walking around.
Speaker 3: It is surprisingly difficult.
Speaker 1: To shop with wine in your hand, especially if you're
Speaker 1: still trying to actually shop. That makes sense, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: have like just one free hand.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we got a cart, and their carts do
Speaker 3: have cup hole like drink holders for the glass of wine.
Speaker 1: Oh nice, but they're actual glass and it's a metal cart.
Speaker 3: So it was like D and so and it was
Speaker 3: a tall, poor sketch. I still had to basically hold
Speaker 3: my wine in the cart because otherwise it was flashing everywhere.
Speaker 3: So it didn't help a whole lot. Chug chug, right,
Speaker 3: But yeah, we walked around for like an hour and
Speaker 3: a half and we were just so sidetracked with everything
Speaker 3: else going on that we forgot about our wine even
Speaker 3: though was in our hand, because we're it's this store
Speaker 3: is massive, it's overwhelming.
Speaker 1: They have all kinds of cool shit. So all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, we're like, oh shit, we gotta get going back.
Speaker 1: So we're supposed to start sent up for the bridle shower.
Speaker 1: We're like, but we still have these full glasses of wine.
Speaker 3: The so that's what we do is we start kind
Speaker 3: of just like trying to goul put down. But we
Speaker 3: can't gold wine right, right, But we spent our hard
Speaker 3: earned dollars, so we're not gonna just leave them. So
Speaker 3: it was like old thing, but it was fun.
Speaker 1: It was an experience that sounds so freaking fun.
Speaker 3: But in the wine section there was a guy doing
Speaker 3: a little tasting from this winery that I brought the
Speaker 3: wine from, so we got to try all six wines whatever,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: So but I realized this one, that's why I brought
Speaker 1: up fun zies. Do they sell it here? I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's a California whe it's not an Ia Hawaiian. Oh,
Speaker 3: that's just what he was doing a testing they could. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so we'll have to look. It's just, you know, it's
Speaker 3: normally out of our budgets. We're not normally looking in
Speaker 3: that section.
Speaker 2: That sections like, I've never seen you here in my life,
Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's right, yeah funny.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so that was fun.
Speaker 3: And then let's see, I've also enjoyed a couple of
Speaker 3: really lovely days out on the paddle board. I only
Speaker 3: went like twice all last summer of our gone three
Speaker 3: times this summer, so we're doing we're doing well. We're
Speaker 3: all try so that's good because I just feel at
Speaker 3: peace on the water.
Speaker 1: It is so peaceful. It's so peaceful. This last time
Speaker 1: when we went on Sunday, like I was telling you earlier,
Speaker 1: was an absolute madhouse, though, because word got out about
Speaker 1: our spot. I don't want to make word get out
Speaker 1: more so I'm not gonna.
Speaker 3: Say it publicly here if you know, you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: but I guess they did a special on it on
Speaker 3: the news.
Speaker 1: Or whatever, and so it just blew up and it
Speaker 1: was insane.
Speaker 2: That's so easy. So you got to get there at
Speaker 2: five am.
Speaker 3: Now at this it's so dumb or just yeah, Like
Speaker 3: I'm like, I guess I'm just gonna start taking a
Speaker 3: random day off work and going because I hate crowds totally,
Speaker 3: especially when they're just like idiots that don't you know.
Speaker 3: Like I was also telling Ellie this earlier, like I'm
Speaker 3: like it was you could tell it was a bunch
Speaker 3: of newbies because they are just idiots.
Speaker 1: None of them know how to paddle.
Speaker 3: Half their boards weren't inflated to the right PSI. There's
Speaker 3: also a bunch of people on tubes and like it's.
Speaker 1: Kind of a wind place. Unless you're you know what
Speaker 1: you're doing and actually have like an ore. You're not,
Speaker 1: you might blow away. Like it's all. It was just
Speaker 1: a whole thing. But it was still fun. Had a
Speaker 1: great day.
Speaker 2: But yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh and then I guess last thing is I did
Speaker 1: have my first market.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yes, and it was fun.
Speaker 1: We did pretty well.
Speaker 3: It was a really hot day, so I kind of
Speaker 3: drove away some traffic. We still had a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: Like always, I was.
Speaker 2: There, I said, I know you did love it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, that was that was so fun. That was
Speaker 2: such a cute market. It's so fun. Everything you guys
Speaker 2: had of I was like, oh my gosh, cute. When's
Speaker 2: your next one again?
Speaker 1: September sixth? Heck yeah, so we've got some time. We
Speaker 1: just don't have enough time or inventory to do more
Speaker 1: than that. But yeah, that's so fun. So it was fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: tune was good, but it was also hard. Yeah, mixed bag.
Speaker 1: You gotta take the good with the bad.
Speaker 2: I guess you kind of go from there, you know,
Speaker 2: like like maybe I go on a date and they
Speaker 2: buy me a drink and food and maybe a.
Speaker 1: Guy ghost me, Like you take the good with the bad.
