00:00:04.871 --> 00:00:05.652
Episode 7.
00:00:05.652 --> 00:00:11.009
What, what we, um, we were just together.
00:00:11.009 --> 00:00:11.871
This is funny.
00:00:11.871 --> 00:00:13.025
This happens a lot.
00:00:13.025 --> 00:00:17.129
We had an event to go to last night.
00:00:17.649 --> 00:00:18.050
We did.
00:00:18.980 --> 00:00:19.503
And it was.
00:00:19.503 --> 00:00:20.387
I don't hold on.
00:00:20.387 --> 00:00:21.342
I feel like I maybe missed.
00:00:21.342 --> 00:00:22.245
Let us a little bit here.
00:00:22.245 --> 00:00:27.568
It wasn't an event, it wasn't like a gala, though we actually went to an oyster roast.
00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:30.329
I don't think you and I would ever be gala type people.
00:00:30.699 --> 00:00:32.646
You know, I want to, I want to do, Do you?
00:00:32.646 --> 00:00:35.567
Oh, yes, I would like us to get a table at seaweed next year.
00:00:36.262 --> 00:00:37.414
Oh, I'm here for that.
00:00:37.433 --> 00:00:38.521
Yeah, you can do.
00:00:38.521 --> 00:00:47.927
They do like a thing on Friday as you can buy, that I'm like have this obsession with buying the table and like inviting people that we would have like a really good time with, like at a fight.
00:00:47.927 --> 00:00:52.877
It's like remember I told you yeah, the next time my friend Amy fights, we're buying a table.
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:53.579
Okay.
00:00:53.619 --> 00:00:55.106
There's this seaweed gala.
00:00:55.106 --> 00:00:56.783
I think we should get a table next year.
00:00:58.027 --> 00:00:59.551
Okay, I'm here for it.
00:00:59.551 --> 00:01:09.609
Like I guess I just have this like image of like ball gowns and like uncomfortable sheaths and fancy and I just don't feel like that's us.
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.006
Oh, I think it would be really fun.
00:01:12.006 --> 00:01:20.778
The last gala that I went to was for a hospital in New York and it had a cruise ship theme Like carnival.
00:01:20.778 --> 00:01:21.739
I love it.
00:01:21.739 --> 00:01:25.771
The man gave me a tambourine.
00:01:25.771 --> 00:01:27.025
There is a photo.
00:01:27.025 --> 00:01:42.781
If you think that Rebecca on a margarita, or just add an oyster or whatever is a good, give her a tambourine and let her be just a few in unhinged and not like in an obnoxious way, like in.
00:01:42.781 --> 00:01:47.513
I clearly was having the time of my life and everyone around me was also having a great time.
00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:50.468
Well, I mean, how could you not have fun with a tambourine?
00:01:50.468 --> 00:01:54.287
I mean, I don't even think I would need cocktails, and that's just like a fun instrument.
00:01:54.287 --> 00:02:07.484
What, yes, the last gala that I went to it was an awards dinner party for an organization that I was a member of a few years ago.
00:02:07.484 --> 00:02:12.031
So, um, one of this might actually shock you.
00:02:12.031 --> 00:02:26.594
I think this is this is going to be another like little treasure that you're finding out about me that you wouldn't know, so I am someone who does not try on clothing until, like, I'm walking out the door.
00:02:27.939 --> 00:02:36.308
So I had ordered like three dresses for this gala from rent the runway and I just like didn't try them on.
00:02:37.501 --> 00:02:43.328
Like you had just done enough legwork to get them into your house that you were like, surely one of these is going to be a winner.
00:02:43.501 --> 00:02:45.520
Well, I'm just like you know, it'll be fine, like.
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.780
So I just don't really like stress about it, so like I don't end zip these dresses.
00:02:49.780 --> 00:02:55.507
And I think I had had I think my daughter was like two so I was still carrying, you know.
00:02:55.727 --> 00:02:56.329
I call it baby way.
00:02:56.329 --> 00:02:57.230
I never run to the runway.
00:02:57.230 --> 00:02:58.645
I also want to unpack that.
00:02:58.645 --> 00:02:59.183
Oh it's.
00:02:59.546 --> 00:03:03.846
yeah, they have a lot of good stuff, okay, um, but anyway for this guy.
00:03:03.846 --> 00:03:06.853
So, like these dresses, I had three, rebecca.
00:03:06.853 --> 00:03:19.834
Only one of them was on the verge of fitting and my husband, like we were sweating, trying to get this zipper up.
00:03:19.834 --> 00:03:24.340
No, it was like I was like you know, I had a complete meltdown.
00:03:24.340 --> 00:03:25.919
I was like no, I'm not going.
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:27.626
You know how we get like women.
00:03:27.626 --> 00:03:31.209
Like I don't know if you're like that, I'm just like no, I'm not going, I feel disgusting.
00:03:31.209 --> 00:03:40.528
I'm, you know, just had a complete fashion meltdown and my husband's like for the love of God, why do you wait until we've got to be there in 30 minutes to try this dress off?
00:03:40.528 --> 00:03:41.564
Why do you do this?
00:03:41.564 --> 00:03:43.139
So this is like a thing for me.
00:03:43.139 --> 00:03:50.239
I don't try on clothes, I buy them and I just return them or ship them back, like I just I don't do it.
00:03:50.258 --> 00:03:57.593
Okay, like I don't go like in a dressing room and try and close, although I actually had to for the Christmas party for my neighborhood.
00:03:58.437 --> 00:04:00.366
Oh yeah, I remember that you posted some pictures.
00:04:00.941 --> 00:04:04.311
Well, because I got well, I sent one to you directly because I mean, that's one.
00:04:05.723 --> 00:04:07.879
Oh yeah, you did get stuck, that's right 100%.
00:04:08.222 --> 00:04:10.878
I got lodged like right across my chest.
00:04:10.878 --> 00:04:13.679
I was like we are absolutely this.
00:04:13.679 --> 00:04:15.300
That was me in the gala dress.
00:04:15.662 --> 00:04:16.767
I'm telling you, I got in it.
00:04:16.767 --> 00:04:18.115
It was not pretty.
00:04:18.115 --> 00:04:18.920
It was not pretty.
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:22.971
I mean, I looked nice, but I could not breathe the entire evening.
00:04:22.971 --> 00:04:36.187
I don't even know how you sat in the car, because usually in dresses like that you have to sit like a little bit like well, it was like flowy, but that zipper man she was hanging on for her dear life, I mean, no, it was.
00:04:36.187 --> 00:04:40.100
I felt like a busted can of biscuits in that dress.
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:47.514
So I would really like to vision board a gala event in the next year.
00:04:47.514 --> 00:04:56.247
Nothing wild, but something where we're dressed up together and we get to be our unhinged selves also at the same time.
00:04:56.247 --> 00:04:59.490
And then also a fight.
00:04:59.490 --> 00:05:01.367
I want to rent the table at a fight.
00:05:02.221 --> 00:05:07.336
See, like that sounds more like us, like a little scrappy a little.
00:05:07.336 --> 00:05:09.788
You know, I met my husband at a fight.
00:05:09.788 --> 00:05:10.553
Did you know this?
00:05:11.338 --> 00:05:12.161
Okay, can we?
00:05:12.161 --> 00:05:13.043
I?
00:05:13.043 --> 00:05:13.685
Only I.
00:05:13.685 --> 00:05:28.673
The outfit is my favorite part of this story, but this because I yeah in my mind, when we go, it's going to look like a lot of like black and lace and like bites.
00:05:28.673 --> 00:05:31.134
Typically, these are like multi-fights or MMA fights.
00:05:31.134 --> 00:05:34.069
In there, you usually get like a little bit of a Vegas feel.
00:05:34.069 --> 00:05:35.814
Oh, for sure.
00:05:35.814 --> 00:05:38.180
Oh yeah, please tell us what you wore to your first.
00:05:38.259 --> 00:05:46.851
And you know it's I will, and it's very fitting because our 14 year anniversary is in three days.
00:05:46.851 --> 00:05:49.641
I love it.
00:05:49.641 --> 00:05:53.562
Yeah, I know everybody thinks I'm obsessed with my husband.
00:05:53.562 --> 00:05:59.346
Listen, I love him, but you know we get on each other's nerves just like any other couple, but so yeah.
00:05:59.346 --> 00:06:07.353
So my husband back in the day was an MMA fighter, like on the side.
00:06:07.353 --> 00:06:12.156
He's an engineer by trade, but he did this like as a hobby.
00:06:12.156 --> 00:06:20.583
So I had a girlfriend that I was working with at the time and she said, hey, I've got a girlfriend, hey, I've got this ticket to this MMA fight.
00:06:20.583 --> 00:06:22.725
And I was like what in the heck is that?
00:06:22.725 --> 00:06:24.588
Like it was like 2010.
00:06:24.588 --> 00:06:26.069
Like I didn't know anything about it.
00:06:26.069 --> 00:06:29.392
I was not an MMA follower.
00:06:29.392 --> 00:06:31.495
I think it was like fresh on the scene.
00:06:31.495 --> 00:06:32.055
I don't know.
00:06:33.021 --> 00:06:41.459
Yeah, about that time is when I was going to like there was a really great sports bar by my work and so like I would make myself close on Saturdays so I could go to the UFC fight after.
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.505
Okay, yeah, see I, there was none of that for me.
00:06:44.505 --> 00:06:48.473
I was like what kind of dubby, like white trash thing is this?
00:06:48.473 --> 00:06:49.735
Like I am not going?
00:06:49.735 --> 00:06:54.663
And she was like Just go with me, I have an extra ticket, oh, all right, whatever.
00:06:54.663 --> 00:07:01.112
So it was a Thursday night and I'm like you know I'm getting ready because of course I've waited till the last minute.
00:07:01.112 --> 00:07:03.456
I'm like what does one even wear to this thing?
00:07:03.456 --> 00:07:07.223
I mean it was like February was freezing and it was a Thursday.
00:07:07.223 --> 00:07:08.966
It was the Thursday, it was like a work night.
00:07:08.966 --> 00:07:13.802
So I mean it wasn't like you know, we were going out afterward Anyway.
00:07:13.802 --> 00:07:21.831
So I put on I put on like this winter white turtleneck sweater, which is a great look for me.
00:07:21.831 --> 00:07:25.216
I love a sweater and I really love a turtleneck.
00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:26.543
No, I love a turtleneck.
00:07:26.543 --> 00:07:27.105
We share this.
00:07:27.105 --> 00:07:27.987
I love a turtleneck.
00:07:27.987 --> 00:07:28.870
I just think they're hot.
00:07:30.226 --> 00:07:31.480
Well, it was freezing, so it was fun.
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.459
No, no, I mean like sexy.
00:07:33.459 --> 00:07:38.312
Oh yeah, I feel like people either love a turtleneck or they hate a turtleneck.
00:07:39.062 --> 00:07:42.492
No, I think there's something about like it that's like hot.
00:07:44.101 --> 00:07:45.065
But I think so too.
00:07:45.701 --> 00:07:47.226
The winter white virginal.
00:07:47.961 --> 00:07:49.206
Oh, I looked so virginal.
00:07:49.206 --> 00:07:54.271
I really did, because of course I was right, absolutely, you, star.
00:07:54.271 --> 00:07:58.242
Yeah, I just have a kid, so yeah.
00:07:58.242 --> 00:08:08.428
So I went to this fight and we got there and I was like, okay, this is a definitely different vibe than I had anticipated, didn't really?
00:08:08.428 --> 00:08:11.045
It was just weird, I wish I was with you.
00:08:11.045 --> 00:08:16.291
But so hot, like the guys fighting were hot, and I was like this is amazing.
00:08:16.291 --> 00:08:17.480
Who knew that this was like a thing?
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:23.480
And then my husband was there to see one of his friends fight, so he was not actually fighting.
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:34.370
So my girlfriend that I was with, she said, hey, like this is my friend Nate, and we knocked knuckles, he asked me for a piece of gum and that was that.
00:08:34.370 --> 00:08:35.885
Here we are, 14 years later.
00:08:36.740 --> 00:08:37.481
Was the gum.
00:08:37.481 --> 00:08:44.277
Let's just really quick, because if you don't follow our marketing Instagram, you probably have seen this.
00:08:44.277 --> 00:08:56.784
But it was a moment, but it was before probably one of the biggest presentations we've ever done, and I needed a piece of gum and I was in, oh my gosh.
00:08:56.784 --> 00:09:03.480
She pulled out a Ziploc bag with like three pieces in it and I took a picture.
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:04.985
I'll actually post it to this.
00:09:04.985 --> 00:09:25.198
This is some grandma church gum and, to be like full disclosure, I have friends that know me really well that were like I am shook that you ate it, because I have Major food trauma issues that I'm still unpacking, and like the fact that I dirty floating around the bottom.
00:09:25.219 --> 00:09:25.460
No, it's not.
00:09:27.749 --> 00:09:30.460
I know that and that's why I had to tell my brain that I could eat it.
00:09:30.460 --> 00:09:36.068
But there is nothing about me and my like.
00:09:36.068 --> 00:09:42.480
Food issues that normally under any other circumstance if it had been anyone else.
00:09:43.322 --> 00:09:45.568
Well, I really can say that a compliment, I really do.
00:09:46.471 --> 00:09:47.433
You should, I do.
00:09:47.433 --> 00:09:48.248
You're like my.
00:09:48.248 --> 00:09:52.188
You're my like safety person, but I like I had to make myself.
00:09:54.145 --> 00:09:58.298
So let me tell the story behind the gun, because I feel like, no, it is your friend yourself.
00:09:58.298 --> 00:10:00.460
Yeah, no, it is your question.
00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:06.049
No, I handed Nate a piece of gum from a pack of gum because back in the day it was more affordable.
00:10:06.049 --> 00:10:14.480
Gum is hella expensive and if you buy it in the like jar, like I like to put in my cup holder, it's like six bucks.
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:18.480
But if you buy the big bag of it at Target, it's like four bucks.
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:26.239
So I just buy the big bag and then I throw it in the same which bag and I feel like I didn't know that that's what was happening.
00:10:27.346 --> 00:10:28.614
It's basically responsible.
00:10:28.614 --> 00:10:29.318
That's what I'm doing.
00:10:29.339 --> 00:10:31.460
it for no, I so I've never even thought about that.
00:10:31.460 --> 00:10:33.460
I didn't know how it got in the bag.
00:10:33.460 --> 00:10:35.480
I didn't have time to ask you.
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:50.480
I had time to take the picture and tell myself to just shut the hell up and eat the gum Gosh, because I just there are so many other like stressors in that moment to yes we, rebecca, we cannot unpack your food.
00:10:51.123 --> 00:10:54.480
But I don't know if Nate would have liked me if I pulled a sandwich bag full of gum.
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.429
He might have thought that that was a weird day.
00:10:57.013 --> 00:10:58.480
You pulled it out of your purse and there was something about it.
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.460
It was very like I just I wanted butterscotch and cinnamon candies to be in there.
00:11:03.460 --> 00:11:07.898
Oh no, I feel like my candy is like those like strawberry candies.
00:11:07.898 --> 00:11:10.480
You know, I'm talking about yes, with like the soft savers.
00:11:12.028 --> 00:11:14.419
Oh, like they're in there, like it looks like a strawberry with the jelly.
00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:17.399
Yes, you can get them at the Dollar Tree.
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:18.086
I don't eat candy.
00:11:20.842 --> 00:11:22.265
I don't either, but I'm just telling you.
00:11:22.326 --> 00:11:26.687
I saw my Dollar Tree and it gave me a major vibe, a grandma vibe.
00:11:26.687 --> 00:11:28.480
I love those.
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:32.250
I mean I probably would try one right now, just to, just to reminisce.
00:11:33.753 --> 00:11:34.440
Yeah, nostalgia.
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:40.399
I definitely feel that that's like a nostalgic, like candy Absolutely, I love it.
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:43.249
No, I don't eat much sugar or candy at all.
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:44.844
But okay, so you're in this turtleneck.
00:11:44.844 --> 00:11:46.629
You meet the love of your life.
00:11:47.191 --> 00:11:47.410
Yeah.
00:11:48.042 --> 00:11:50.884
He tells you he's a fighter, you're already thinking this is hot.
00:11:51.446 --> 00:11:55.807
I did think it was hot and well, and so it started out like I went to two.
00:11:55.807 --> 00:11:59.958
Then I actually saw him fight, as we were kind of like getting to know each other.
00:11:59.958 --> 00:12:00.480
How did you handle that?
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:07.785
Oh, so I didn't really care, because at that point we were not dating, we were just friends.
00:12:07.785 --> 00:12:09.610
Friends, yes.
00:12:09.610 --> 00:12:12.792
So I thought it was like super sexy, right.
00:12:13.554 --> 00:12:14.440
I would have a hard time watch.
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:18.288
That's the one of the reasons I have not watched my friend fight.
00:12:18.469 --> 00:12:19.270
Just wait, okay.
00:12:19.270 --> 00:12:28.341
So I watched him fight in that kind of capacity like three times I think it was three times, wow, and it was super hot, gosh, like you know.
00:12:28.341 --> 00:12:48.336
They're rolling around and they're, you know, just sweaty and just it's hot, right, and then even what's more hot or hotter, whatever the grammatical is that like the discipline that he had to, like he was super regimented about his diet, like his water intake, like cutting weight and like exercising.
00:12:48.336 --> 00:12:53.684
So I found like his level of like commitment and discipline to it Super sexy.
00:12:54.801 --> 00:13:10.936
Um, well, then we started, like then I fell in love with the kid and then then I went to one of his fights, had like a cute, like custom shirt made like of course, of course I did and I paid my pants.
00:13:10.936 --> 00:13:14.480
It was awful, like when I say I paid my pants, this is like pre kid.
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:21.383
So like I didn't really have an excuse, I was a ball of stress, like I was stressed the whole time he was fighting.
00:13:21.383 --> 00:13:27.529
Then he finally won and then I like jumped up and down and screamed and feed my pants because I was so excited for him.
00:13:27.750 --> 00:13:28.791
You actually peed your pants.
00:13:29.152 --> 00:13:29.751
No, I really did.
00:13:29.751 --> 00:13:31.354
Yeah, oh my God.
00:13:31.354 --> 00:13:36.480
Yeah, All right, I mean it was a little, but I mean it was like I was that excited.
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:46.355
I was so excited that he won and I was so excited that he did not get hurt and I was so excited it was over because there's so much like heart and fighting.
00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:48.746
So my friend Amy, that is a fighter.
00:13:48.746 --> 00:13:51.091
We've known each other for like 10 years.
00:13:51.091 --> 00:13:52.440
We met at Michael course.
00:13:52.440 --> 00:14:00.948
She walked in my front door and she needed a job and then randomly she joined this gym.
00:14:00.948 --> 00:14:13.700
Like in the same sort of breath, right, she walks in there and high heels and a dress and she's like I think I want to work out here and now she's this amazing fighter, but that's so badass, that's so badass.
00:14:14.091 --> 00:14:16.576
Yes, and she is so disciplined.
00:14:16.576 --> 00:14:23.880
When she's disciplined, like, I'll get a million when, when, when, when she, when she has her head in the Sand for it, we communicate a lot during that time period.
00:14:23.880 --> 00:14:30.470
I'll get tons of pictures of like food, or her in the shower or steaming out, or her on the run or whatever it is.
00:14:30.470 --> 00:14:37.590
You know, you can tell that people really have to like lean into their circle when they're in those moments and I like live, for I have so much heart for it.
00:14:37.590 --> 00:14:41.337
And then it's like, okay, is it a win, is it a loss?
00:14:41.337 --> 00:14:43.803
Like either way, it's a win because it's like the bravest thing ever.
00:14:44.231 --> 00:14:44.472
Yeah.
00:14:45.910 --> 00:14:49.337
But I've never seen her do it in person because of this huge fear of like.
00:14:49.337 --> 00:14:51.722
Like I love her right as I love her.
00:14:51.722 --> 00:14:56.735
She's friends that I love and so like You're gonna have to come with me.
00:14:57.832 --> 00:14:58.778
Yeah, it's stressful.
00:14:58.778 --> 00:14:59.582
I'm gonna be honest with you.
00:14:59.602 --> 00:15:03.640
It's really it's really stressful, but I watch it on TV and I get really stressed.
00:15:04.202 --> 00:15:06.009
Yeah, but I mean they're, they're super fun.
00:15:06.009 --> 00:15:20.198
So I would definitely say like that's probably more my speed than like a full blown out like gala with like a Ball gown that I'm gonna wait until 30 minutes before to try on and With like the hair makeup, like fun.
00:15:20.198 --> 00:15:21.764
Oh, I love all of that.
00:15:21.764 --> 00:15:23.629
Like I love getting my hair and makeup done.
00:15:23.629 --> 00:15:25.807
It's like my jam, like I loved doing that.
00:15:25.807 --> 00:15:32.976
But I Wish I could just like do that and then just like put on sweatpants Because I hate getting dressed up.
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:35.649
Maybe we'll host the gala and it'll be like that.
00:15:35.649 --> 00:15:35.708
Oh.
00:15:36.630 --> 00:15:37.514
My god, I bet we would have.
00:15:37.514 --> 00:15:40.282
We would sell the thing out, I thought we would.
00:15:40.282 --> 00:15:43.339
We could like rent an auditorium.
00:15:43.339 --> 00:15:47.750
Everybody has to come in like makeup and hair, because that's fun.
00:15:47.750 --> 00:15:54.711
And then we'll like get a big jumbo tron and watch love is bond and serve one and eat Ben and Jerry's right out of the Carton.
00:15:55.393 --> 00:15:57.418
I am definitely into the love it, so okay.
00:15:57.418 --> 00:16:16.902
So we're, we go to this event last night, we're in the car and and we do this, we for you guys, for us we will hit pause in the middle of a conversation and be like, no, we're not going a step further, we're gonna save it until we're on the podcast because we like it.
00:16:16.902 --> 00:16:22.043
It's so much better if you can just Be there when it's happening.
00:16:22.043 --> 00:16:25.235
Yeah, and we can't like redo reactions.
00:16:25.235 --> 00:16:26.398
Yeah, you can't.
00:16:26.398 --> 00:16:46.409
And we started to unpack a couple of our like weird things because we're together and we're in the car and we're going to this event and and what I think it helps you that we're not like We've known each other for how many years For four but we're we weren't really friends.
00:16:47.653 --> 00:16:48.034
So what?
00:16:48.034 --> 00:16:53.110
Like we've ever had moments where it's just like, oh, like we sit down like we know everything about each other.
00:16:53.110 --> 00:16:59.017
So every time we're together we find even when we just talk on the phone, we find out all these new things about each other.
00:16:59.076 --> 00:17:18.410
So it's like, oh, Well, in a non-friend way, because obviously we're friends now, but like we are Extremely unfiltered together yeah, thank you, because we own a business together, yeah, and so like we don't have time to like this.
00:17:18.410 --> 00:17:25.644
It's like getting married and then figuring out who you married, like it's too late now, so you might as well just like whatever the band aid is like.
00:17:25.644 --> 00:17:34.414
If you're never gonna unpack your suitcase, you should definitely tell me Something that came up yesterday that Jenny had to pause.
00:17:34.414 --> 00:17:40.099
I I've never ridden in an Uber like y'all.
