Are you a fan of the slow burn? Our spicy book girls belong to two clubs - slow burn or straight to the heat - and how often does life mimic art? This December did. From getting acquainted with 2025 - to the building of Ikea furniture - we’re diving into the January, the push to purge and renovate. and ultimately, what does it mean when a black moth comes to visit you? Does everyone else look for symbolism in small every day moments? Is it a glimmer? Maybe there is something to this idea of “listen” as a word for our 2025 …

If you’re ever feeling like you’re “too much” - please remember that even TOAST was served on silver in the 1800s. Not us. We’re hand cleaning vacuums and committing to washable carpets - but we wouldn’t MIND a silver toast holder for our book collections. Team cheap rugs - for both of us, pet owners. Is everyone else replacing their rugs every 6-12 months? Or is this another mayhem hack?

Sounds like we’re already ready for summer - conversations about margaritas and peach daiquiris. And the time one of us sliced her knuckle wide open … what is it about family vacations and emergency room trips? Apparently what happens in vacation doesn’t stay on vacation. Speaking of weather, there’s speculation of snow here in the south and we’re excited. But we’re also unprepared - we’re headed to Costco and Amazon for prep! Cheers and Happy New Years Mayhem listeners!

Things we discussed:

New Icebreaker (by Hannah Grace) cover
Jenny's Peach Daquiri Recipe
The Chestnut Springs series
A Not So Meet Cute
The Miles High Club

00:00:10.989 --> 00:00:13.731
happy new year's happy new year.

00:00:14.272 --> 00:00:15.132
Can you believe it?

00:00:15.132 --> 00:00:22.304
No, I can't it's a fast year it's been like a slow burn the past.

00:00:22.304 --> 00:00:24.309
Um, we talk about that in our little books.

00:00:24.309 --> 00:00:27.926
You and I had that text going the other day about the spicy books we're reading.

00:00:27.926 --> 00:00:30.466
Has it been a slow burn though?

00:00:30.466 --> 00:00:31.975
The past few weeks?

00:00:31.975 --> 00:00:38.640
I feel like it's gone really fast, but also I feel like it's been very slow, if that makes any sense at all.

00:00:39.685 --> 00:00:41.244
I feel like it's been very fast.

00:00:42.881 --> 00:00:48.161
I feel like Clark's been out of school for 17 weeks, but not in a bad way.

00:00:48.161 --> 00:00:49.865
Just feel like I have no, just like we.

00:00:49.865 --> 00:00:54.143
I was just saying I have no concept of like what day it is, what time.

00:00:54.183 --> 00:00:59.776
I, just I, there are no rules no, I know I keep seeing things about that.

00:00:59.776 --> 00:01:03.826
You know we all both have like nine, seven, ninety seven jobs.

00:01:03.826 --> 00:01:06.460
We've seen things like that on the internet.

00:01:06.460 --> 00:01:12.343
But then I have like I had to go downtown for like a meeting on Friday and I was like this is bizarre.

00:01:12.665 --> 00:01:19.944
I felt really bad for you Cause it was so nasty out and it was so cold and I was like the fact that you have to get dressed today.

00:01:19.944 --> 00:01:21.126
I really felt for you.

00:01:21.126 --> 00:01:22.748
That day I'd look pretty.

00:01:22.748 --> 00:01:24.871
I know, that's what I'm saying.

00:01:25.153 --> 00:01:27.376
I was going to see the Food and Bev boys.

00:01:27.376 --> 00:01:31.308
I couldn't be like Gary Busey.

00:01:31.308 --> 00:01:36.326
No, I had to go, because then of course also you know where I was I was at Republic.

00:01:36.326 --> 00:01:38.492
Oh nice, oh yeah, that's right.

00:01:38.492 --> 00:01:41.683
Yep, yeah, and so they're open.

00:01:41.683 --> 00:01:49.075
So I also can't be gross because, like, cause it's like a hot spot.

00:01:55.881 --> 00:02:03.402
Yes, it's a hot spot and it's like the few days after Christmas, so like downtown was packed and so like I really had to like wear heels and like do the whole thing, yeah, and you dressed up again for me on Sunday.

00:02:03.402 --> 00:02:08.310
I ran into a lot of people downtown, though, did you?

00:02:08.310 --> 00:02:11.562
Yes, can I tell you I have this new favorite thing.

00:02:11.562 --> 00:02:19.145
Remember, I told you I'm starting a new hobby uh-huh well, the hobby is antique jewelry I saw your stuff.

00:02:19.185 --> 00:02:20.127
Yeah, I'm here for it.

00:02:20.127 --> 00:02:21.230
Did you get your ring, by the way?

00:02:23.765 --> 00:02:24.348
oh, my necklace.

00:02:24.348 --> 00:02:25.150
You mean necklace.

00:02:25.150 --> 00:02:25.972
I thought you were getting a ring.

00:02:25.972 --> 00:02:32.084
No, I was like, oh, I do have a ring at a jeweler right now, but it's not, it's a whole other story.

00:02:32.084 --> 00:02:33.387
I was like what?

00:02:33.387 --> 00:02:35.512
Yes, it's here.

00:02:35.512 --> 00:02:40.211
It just came here like two days ago from the Royal Mail because it's from the UK.

00:02:40.211 --> 00:02:44.711
So it came in like a stamp and like it has a whole.

00:02:44.711 --> 00:02:47.229
It's not the usps, that's for sure.

00:02:47.229 --> 00:02:58.730
But yeah, no, um, but so then I went to an antique store that of course you know it's like downtown charleston, so this is not the place you go antiquing, right, because everything's nine thousand dollars.

00:02:58.931 --> 00:03:07.235
Yeah, I want to go to like middle america, but one of the things that they had a ton of were these toast.

00:03:07.235 --> 00:03:09.846
They were like trays for your slices of toast.

00:03:09.846 --> 00:03:10.788
They were beautiful.

00:03:10.788 --> 00:03:12.312
I saw them Dunning.

00:03:12.312 --> 00:03:21.109
So now I first of all it was 785, that one that I loved, and I was like it's so beautiful.

00:03:21.109 --> 00:03:23.661
Of course it's like full silver and it's Charleston, so like whatever.

00:03:23.661 --> 00:03:25.282
But then I started doing some.

00:03:25.282 --> 00:03:28.443
I went down the rabbit hole which you tend to do.

00:03:29.125 --> 00:03:30.384
People are using them.

00:03:30.384 --> 00:03:32.006
So what do you do?

00:03:32.006 --> 00:03:34.106
You just like stack your sliced bread in it.

00:03:35.168 --> 00:03:39.330
Yeah, but they're repurposing them, so they're like they have their mail in it.

00:03:39.330 --> 00:03:41.352
I thought it looked like a mail holder.

00:03:41.352 --> 00:03:54.424
A lot of book readers have them at the nightstand with their books and I was like, oh my God, this is so beautiful, right, aren't you just like-?

00:03:54.424 --> 00:03:56.118
I love that Hold up.

00:03:56.118 --> 00:03:59.971
And so then they also had these really like my dream thing there.

00:03:59.971 --> 00:04:17.600
They had this cute little like I don't know even what the word is almost like craft sets, but they were only like eight inches tall and they had like three to four different glass like crystal cut out, and I was like, oh my god, that would be so much fun for like all of your like oils and vinegars or whatever.

00:04:18.562 --> 00:04:22.028
So I love like an old bar, like an old bar cart.

00:04:22.149 --> 00:04:30.425
It's very like mad bar carts they had the silver things that hang over the bottles that say like gin or bourbon.

00:04:30.425 --> 00:04:44.146
So I was like, oh my god, this would be such a good place even to get like a gift for a wedding or like a groomsman, or like there were so many cool things like that I feel like everything was just so much fancier back then.

00:04:44.485 --> 00:04:59.591
I was talking about this with somebody the other day about relics in like China and things like that that our great grandparents, you know, tried to pass down, and how our generation doesn't really use that stuff.

00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:00.781
Well, I so.

00:05:00.781 --> 00:05:02.047
I think there's two reasons.

00:05:02.047 --> 00:05:15.002
First, my whole thing was and I posted this online but, like, if you ever feel like you're too much, remember that there was definitely a time where, like, they served you your sliced toast and of course that was like aristocratic, right, that wasn't everybody.

00:05:15.002 --> 00:05:18.151
But like you can't be too much, I just don't believe anymore.

00:05:18.151 --> 00:05:29.353
I also think that the reason that we are more minimalist because I feel like I'm going back a little that way is there was, have you do you remember growing up?

00:05:29.353 --> 00:05:33.384
People would have these houses where shit was everywhere.

00:05:36.271 --> 00:05:38.074
It was like Kirkland threw up in there.

00:05:38.656 --> 00:05:41.581
Yes, and it was like nonsense too.

00:05:41.581 --> 00:05:44.389
It's like the, it's like some of the whatever.

00:05:44.389 --> 00:05:47.507
It is like farmhouse shaker, like for like being a New Yorker.

00:05:47.507 --> 00:05:53.767
There was a lot of red and like mustard yellow, Totally Tons of red, tons of that green.

00:05:54.209 --> 00:05:55.733
Everything was very like.

00:05:55.733 --> 00:05:58.766
All the pillows had like the ruffle edges.

00:05:59.226 --> 00:06:13.285
Yes, Like there was and it wasn't everyone's house, but like there was quite a few houses where, like all the furniture was really dark, the kitchen was dark, Like the other day that was like this looks like a kitchen I got drunk in and my parents didn't know where I was.

00:06:13.285 --> 00:06:28.944
It was like a beautiful kitchen but like I mean, I had friends with like black plates and like it was just like you know, you had some friends that were like Todd and Margo, Yep, Everything was like over the top modern yep still have a friend like that.

00:06:28.966 --> 00:06:33.132
I'm always like, wow, what happened here?

00:06:33.132 --> 00:06:38.711
But it was like floral do you remember um yuck anyone's yum, because mine is yucky too.

00:06:38.711 --> 00:06:40.843
Believe me, I have so much wallpaper like I'm.

00:06:40.843 --> 00:06:44.110
I'm just saying like some of this stuff is cracks me up.

00:06:44.389 --> 00:06:45.031
What was that?

00:06:45.031 --> 00:06:47.540
Like fame, she was so popular.

00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:52.947
It was like these bedspreads in the eighties and nineties and, like I, everybody died for them.

00:06:52.947 --> 00:06:54.130
It was like Jessica.

00:06:54.130 --> 00:06:56.266
She made like clothing too.

00:06:56.266 --> 00:06:57.348
Do you know what I'm talking about?

00:06:57.348 --> 00:06:58.221
I'm going to have.

00:06:58.500 --> 00:07:01.749
This might be a Southern thing, but it was very like.

00:07:02.930 --> 00:07:05.942
Yeah, that was a thing, very floral, was that a?

00:07:05.983 --> 00:07:07.966
New York thing or not, I keep going back there.

00:07:07.966 --> 00:07:13.572
So I am changing the wall behind me because I can't take this anymore.

00:07:13.572 --> 00:07:15.345
I've given it a week.

00:07:15.345 --> 00:07:16.509
Which one?

00:07:16.509 --> 00:07:19.923
The massive wall that's obnoxious.

00:07:19.923 --> 00:07:20.985
That drives me crazy.

00:07:21.867 --> 00:07:24.612
Why it's boring.

00:07:24.612 --> 00:07:27.346
Okay, so what are we spicing it up with?

00:07:30.860 --> 00:07:32.788
You know it's going to be some wallpaper.

00:07:33.189 --> 00:07:37.430
Of course you should be like that should be your side hustle.

00:07:38.420 --> 00:07:51.593
I really wish people would let me decorate like pieces of their life, because I feel like I'm getting close to being ready to doing this for like specific people, but I feel like I got to play with it just like a tiny bit more.

00:07:51.593 --> 00:07:53.244
Oh, here's the screenshots.

00:07:53.244 --> 00:07:55.891
They're coming your way, um.

00:07:57.456 --> 00:07:58.639
I've already decided that.

00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.783
You know I want to do a closet renovation.

00:08:00.783 --> 00:08:01.726
I think I told you this.

00:08:01.726 --> 00:08:04.682
I'm going to let you wallpaper some of my closet.

00:08:05.425 --> 00:08:08.156
Yes, I think I think you told you this I'm going to let you wallpaper some of my closet.

00:08:08.156 --> 00:08:11.463
Yes, I think you told me, because I was going to organize your clothes.

00:08:11.603 --> 00:08:12.504
Dude, it is bad.

00:08:12.504 --> 00:08:14.567
It is very, very bad.

00:08:14.567 --> 00:08:16.930
I'm doing major purge sesh tomorrow.

00:08:16.930 --> 00:08:18.411
That's how I'm spending my New Year's Day.

00:08:18.411 --> 00:08:19.713
Okay, look at it.

00:08:19.994 --> 00:08:20.634
Look at your phone.

00:08:20.634 --> 00:08:21.514
Did you text me?

00:08:24.341 --> 00:08:27.824
Mm-hmm.

00:08:27.824 --> 00:08:28.446
Look at your phone.

00:08:28.446 --> 00:08:28.766
Did you text me?

00:08:28.766 --> 00:08:29.185
Mm-hmm, look at you.

00:08:29.185 --> 00:08:30.367
You are taking it back.

00:08:31.067 --> 00:08:34.511
I think I am going to do a retro wall, so it's like a little.

00:08:34.511 --> 00:08:39.275
I tried to find a wallpaper with the smallest, tiniest roses on it ever.

00:08:39.296 --> 00:08:40.057
Oh, that's pretty.

00:08:40.057 --> 00:08:41.826
I love those sconces.

00:08:42.460 --> 00:08:53.384
They're battery-powered, because I can't Shut up Because I can't hardwire anything, so I have to like fuss around with, like I have to be a little bit creative and love that mirror, I know.

00:08:53.384 --> 00:08:59.865
So let's hope that stuff comes in, because I also built two nightstands yesterday and then I unbuilt them because they were too small.

00:08:59.865 --> 00:09:00.768
So they're going back.

00:09:01.369 --> 00:09:06.269
Are you like this every January, like you want to do, like house projects, or is this like just a?

00:09:06.269 --> 00:09:07.032
What is this?

00:09:07.379 --> 00:09:11.408
No, because I couldn't do that stuff in my old house, Like I mean, I wanted to just do.

00:09:11.408 --> 00:09:18.131
I the most I could do is like paint, and even then it was like a big fuss and I never involved anyone in my projects.

00:09:18.131 --> 00:09:27.765
But like I do like to, like in my old, in my growing up house, like I always mess with stuff, Like in my old, in my growing up house, like I always messed with stuff.

00:09:27.765 --> 00:09:35.803
But like I feel like this is just borderline creative, mind, experimental, because I'm like well, I'm not staying here forever.

00:09:35.923 --> 00:09:38.107
It's fun, like I like playing with this.

00:09:38.107 --> 00:09:42.375
I feel like it would be fun to do it for other people, and then part of me is just like, why not?

00:09:42.375 --> 00:09:51.124
Like it's not, there's no commitment.

00:09:51.124 --> 00:09:54.940
I keep seeing this trend where people are like stop creating a house that looks like it's ready to be photographed and sold.

00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:55.881
Like this.

00:09:55.881 --> 00:10:04.231
There's like this whole other idea of like really living in your house, which I feel like we live in an area very much where everyone wants their home to look like.

00:10:04.231 --> 00:10:12.653
It's like staged, yes, and I am very much like and looks like an episode of hoarders.

00:10:12.653 --> 00:10:18.774
So I think there's something so like one of the things that I pulled out when I moved.

00:10:18.774 --> 00:10:21.261
My great grandmother is from Germany.

00:10:21.261 --> 00:10:24.086
Actually her she was 17 years younger than her husband.

00:10:24.086 --> 00:10:26.211
I know she's spicy.

00:10:26.230 --> 00:10:26.630
I didn't know.

00:10:26.630 --> 00:10:27.653
Your family was from Germany.

00:10:27.653 --> 00:10:40.341
That's interesting, you know my family's from Switzerland.

00:10:40.361 --> 00:10:40.783
Oh, I know, look at us.

00:10:40.783 --> 00:10:47.494
She was very like fancy and so she like had like a short little bob and like we have some really beautiful photos that were like kind of against the rules, you know, because it showed her neck and she was like.

00:10:47.494 --> 00:10:48.860
She was like stunning.

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:53.674
She lived into a very old age, but I have a humidor it.

00:10:53.674 --> 00:11:09.100
So you know, when you go to my bathroom and there's that little thing that is like under my towel rack that has like books and stuff on it, yeah, it's a humidor for sure, I love a humidor right, it even still has the filter in it and everything.

00:11:09.662 --> 00:11:10.484
Does it still smell?

00:11:10.484 --> 00:11:14.712
No, it's because it's like almost like porcelain old school.

00:11:14.712 --> 00:11:27.842
So it had like the big filter that like hooked into the side and then the inside is like porcelain, so bath bombs in it and stuff, um, but that had been tucked away like in storage and so that was like one of the first things I brought out.

00:11:27.842 --> 00:11:29.326
I was like let's get a little sillier.

00:11:29.346 --> 00:11:31.111
A little fun, that's fun.

00:11:31.111 --> 00:11:35.027
Yeah, I am not like that.

00:11:35.027 --> 00:11:45.293
Like I feel like family has tried to give me certain items and I'm just like eh, I definitely feel that way.

00:11:45.419 --> 00:11:49.625
And then now I feel like it's a tiny bit of a shift To the girly stuff.

00:11:49.625 --> 00:11:54.168
Like when I bought all those pink wine glasses, I was like I wish I had more glassware.

00:11:54.168 --> 00:12:02.988
I do have some of the older glassware of some of my grandpa's and like I do have some silver and a couple of things like that, but I certainly don't use it as much as I should.

00:12:11.700 --> 00:12:12.926
But like when you got married, did you register for nice, china?

00:12:12.946 --> 00:12:15.558
No, I did not either, but they you know that used to be like a thing oh yeah, friends, I did and they were like what do I do with this?

00:12:15.558 --> 00:12:18.823
And I'm like I mean it would be hard here to like store all that.

00:12:18.904 --> 00:12:22.370
But I don't have anywhere to put it, that's what I keep always telling my parents.

00:12:22.370 --> 00:12:28.105
I'm like I will say that my grandmother, she collected to my grandfather.

00:12:28.105 --> 00:12:39.686
He was from Switzerland, he traveled a lot because he owned a textile company and so he traveled all over and he, so my grandmother, collected like these beautiful, like ornate teacups.

00:12:39.686 --> 00:12:41.865
Yeah, like you would be obsessed.

00:12:42.881 --> 00:12:48.567
So in my list of things that I really want for, like I mean, she had these like three.

00:12:48.899 --> 00:12:52.291
it was like three different like cabinets in our dining room growing up.

00:12:52.291 --> 00:13:01.811
There was all the teacups and saucers and they were stunning and I I obviously didn't think anything about it when I was younger but now I'm like, yeah, I love them.

00:13:02.451 --> 00:13:04.145
No, that's on my list of like things.

00:13:04.145 --> 00:13:11.706
Like, I really would like to take a trip out somewhere where we could actually like antique or whether it's just the flea market or something, but I need a few like teacups.

00:13:11.947 --> 00:13:12.609
I definitely need.

00:13:12.609 --> 00:13:17.490
I just got this image of us like in a Cadillac with, like those big Sunvisor hats.

00:13:17.490 --> 00:13:21.549
Yes, little old ladies going to antique For teacups.

00:13:26.139 --> 00:13:27.361
And Julie listening to gangster rap on our way.

00:13:27.361 --> 00:13:31.408
I want like an old school salt and pepper shaker.

00:13:31.428 --> 00:13:32.650
Hell yes, oh my god.

00:13:32.650 --> 00:13:32.890
Oh my god.

00:13:32.890 --> 00:13:34.533
It's new years today.

00:13:34.533 --> 00:13:38.565
You what it's new years it is.

00:13:38.745 --> 00:13:44.768
So you are hobbying like this, like so I'm also.

00:13:44.768 --> 00:13:46.991
You know I'm also mildly into the 70s.

00:13:46.991 --> 00:13:52.629
This is why I don't make sense as a person, but I like love the 70s.

00:13:52.629 --> 00:14:02.144
So, like, when I was picking out my bed, I was like I need something that's like a little bit velvet, but like I wanted to have like a scar face vibe, and my mom was like what are you saying?

00:14:02.144 --> 00:14:16.245
But that's exactly what I got and I loved it so much that my friend, amy Muay Thai, amy bought the same bed so we'll be like talking to each other and I'm like I forget we have the same bed.

00:14:16.245 --> 00:14:20.380
Like we'll be like sitting in bed and I'm like how is this possible?

00:14:20.380 --> 00:14:23.847
But like, and the same mattress too.

00:14:23.847 --> 00:14:25.510
That mattress mattress is fire.

00:14:25.510 --> 00:14:28.265
It is fire and she's like what mattress are we getting?

00:14:28.265 --> 00:14:33.004
I'm like now that we're here, but then I have that like cabinet that's under the TV that has.

00:14:33.385 --> 00:14:34.850
So I bought these nightstands.

00:14:34.850 --> 00:14:41.364
They're shorties and I really tried last night I was I actually was trying to channel my inner suite.

00:14:41.364 --> 00:14:46.490
I was like let's just like less, you know, like lower, but I was like I feel like I'm in the dollhouse.

00:14:46.490 --> 00:14:48.313
I'm a big person.

00:14:48.313 --> 00:14:49.716
I need like a lot of like.

00:14:49.716 --> 00:14:50.301
I don't know why.

00:14:50.301 --> 00:14:52.083
I just like everything oversized.

00:14:52.083 --> 00:14:56.111
I like everything my men, my couches, my beds.

00:14:56.111 --> 00:14:57.475
You're consistent.

00:14:57.475 --> 00:15:01.971
Yeah, this is like, and I'm always like I'm a big person, I need big things.

00:15:01.971 --> 00:15:04.504
You're not a big person, I need big things.

00:15:04.504 --> 00:15:08.173
But I like really like oversized everything.

00:15:08.173 --> 00:15:10.184
I couldn't wrap my head around it.

00:15:10.184 --> 00:15:16.250
So now I'm back to my old nightstands and I had to take all the screws and everything out of these freaking I know, so I can return them.

00:15:17.221 --> 00:15:19.589
I'm just really proud that you had the patience to do that.

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.182
Well, I did do.

00:15:21.182 --> 00:15:26.409
I did get to the part where I went to go put the drawers in and they were something apart, was upside down.

00:15:26.409 --> 00:15:27.932
I sent Amy this.

00:15:27.932 --> 00:15:29.955
I was like, oh God, I've made a mistake.

00:15:29.955 --> 00:15:40.662
You can tell like the, the little part on the bottom here, it's like at the top, and I was like motherfucker.

00:15:40.662 --> 00:15:45.102
But actually all I needed to do is take these two sides and switch them so that everything was on them.

00:15:45.102 --> 00:15:53.568
I was, I literally walked and I was like, oh fuck this, like it's okay, though I got really far.

00:15:54.169 --> 00:16:02.626
I get like this in january too, like I, I think it's something after december and having more stuff in my house.

00:16:02.626 --> 00:16:10.196
I am like we need to do another renovation and I need to purge.

00:16:10.196 --> 00:16:13.145
We still have all of our Christmas stuff up.

00:16:13.145 --> 00:16:16.445
I know it's going to make your eye twitch, but we all have our Christmas stuff up.

00:16:16.644 --> 00:16:17.528
I'm a big purger.

00:16:17.528 --> 00:16:21.403
I have been purging since I said I was going to wait until the 28th.

00:16:21.403 --> 00:16:23.687
I promised myself December 28th.

00:16:23.687 --> 00:16:31.750
One o'clock on the 26th it hit like a wall and I was like this ain't happening, it's not happening.

00:16:31.750 --> 00:16:36.650
And I freaking waited for that moth to fly out and I was like is he?

00:16:36.650 --> 00:16:37.714
You've not seen him.

00:16:37.714 --> 00:16:41.043
No, so he must've gone out, cause you know I always keep that door open.

00:16:41.043 --> 00:16:42.765
He must have at some point left.

00:16:43.427 --> 00:16:51.349
But my, my, I have a friend there or sorry, cousin who listens to this, who like, literally like zoology.

00:16:51.349 --> 00:16:53.902
She's like the snow white, she's like I need to figure out.

00:16:53.902 --> 00:16:55.745
She's trying to figure out what this moth is.

00:16:55.745 --> 00:17:02.466
But I will say this I looked it up and on chat, gpt this was one of the first things that came up.

00:17:02.466 --> 00:17:09.318
Okay, because of course there's like an algorithm to that and it knows that I'm like a witch or something, so it says this.

00:17:09.318 --> 00:17:15.491
However, black moths are often associated with mystery, transformation and unseen realms.

00:17:15.491 --> 00:17:19.247
The black moth holds a profound spiritual symbolism.

00:17:19.247 --> 00:17:32.855
While interpretations can differ, the presence of a black moth is commonly seen as a messenger from the spiritual realm, inviting us to explore our shadow aspects, embrace change, transformation and tap into our intuitive wisdom.

00:17:32.855 --> 00:17:38.467
I was like damn, that was deep for a moth.

00:17:39.260 --> 00:17:40.165
It was huge.

00:17:40.165 --> 00:17:40.840
We can't figure out what it is.

00:17:40.861 --> 00:17:44.888
She's like it has to be one of these, but it's not one of those and we can't figure out what it is.

00:17:44.888 --> 00:17:46.471
I'm like it doesn't ever.

00:17:46.471 --> 00:17:51.163
She's like it has to be one of these, I'm like, but it's not one of those.

00:17:51.163 --> 00:17:54.109
I was like it's really triangle, it was very triangular.

00:17:54.109 --> 00:17:55.512
She's like, well, the wings weren't open.

00:17:55.512 --> 00:18:04.614
I was like, oh sorry, I was like I don't know.

00:18:04.614 --> 00:18:05.365
I don't know.

00:18:05.365 --> 00:18:07.059
I'm not like a moth person.

00:18:07.721 --> 00:18:18.648
That's a pretty interpretation, though that's a good one, and it was right when we were having Jennifer Siskon and we were talking about boundaries and I was like what an interesting moment.

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.388
Have you settled on a word yet?

00:18:23.221 --> 00:18:24.226
No, have you.

00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:34.492
No, I keep getting new ones brought to me in my head, and so I'm I need to need to sit in them for a minute, but yeah, a new one keeps popping up.

00:18:34.492 --> 00:18:40.090
I had a couple pop up this morning so, yeah, I really have not settled.

00:18:40.151 --> 00:18:41.012
it's gonna take me.

00:18:41.012 --> 00:18:47.554
I feel like they're like you said the listen, like it takes me a long time to really figure out and I'm not.

00:18:47.554 --> 00:18:57.862
There's a big part of me like Christina texted me the other day and she was like and this is why the word was more and I was like I she had me cracking up about something.

00:18:57.862 --> 00:18:59.124
I know we need her back.

00:18:59.124 --> 00:19:00.026
We do.

00:19:00.026 --> 00:19:01.989
We should all ask her what she can do in January.

00:19:01.989 --> 00:19:03.652
You know what we were dying about.

00:19:03.652 --> 00:19:04.874
We were.

00:19:04.874 --> 00:19:15.347
We were back to laughing about that dang fish Cause I was driving over the Ravenel after I had seen you downtown.

00:19:15.347 --> 00:19:22.434
I was driving over the Ravenel and the song that I there was a song, oh, I saw the light.

00:19:22.434 --> 00:19:26.450
Yeah, that's a good one, not the way, not the winona one.

00:19:26.450 --> 00:19:28.362
I might be saying it wrong, hold on, it might not be.

00:19:28.362 --> 00:19:32.791
It's brand new man, sorry brand new man, I'm a brand new.

00:19:33.012 --> 00:19:33.599
Yeah, that's a good one.

00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:34.923
That's not or?

00:19:34.923 --> 00:19:36.766
I was back singing on here.

00:19:37.366 --> 00:19:47.724
So that's the song that I put in that fish sequence because I kept singing it because I was joking around about like the boys on hinge holding the fish.

00:19:47.724 --> 00:19:58.365
So when I caught the fish and I was like all happy, I was like I saw the lemon baptized, like I just like thought it was like funny because I was like I'm a brand new man Now I know about the fish.

00:19:58.365 --> 00:20:03.111
There was a moment I couldn't stop for like 24 hours because you know how I get stuck in a loop.

00:20:03.111 --> 00:20:16.049
So we were like in the grocery store I'm in these like denim cutoffs with this like swimsuit basically, but it was like one of our like onesie little things like a tank top and I'm holding the grocery list not helping at all.

00:20:16.049 --> 00:20:18.607
Right, christina and I have left the house to take a break.

00:20:18.607 --> 00:20:23.583
She's like what's on the list and I'm just handing it to her Pass it to your princess.

00:20:23.603 --> 00:20:24.523
You're so good at it.

00:20:24.983 --> 00:20:28.567
And I'm still on my fish high and I'm just singing this song all over.

00:20:28.567 --> 00:20:29.930
I made like six friends.

00:20:30.430 --> 00:20:31.030
Of course you did.

00:20:31.310 --> 00:20:38.583
People were like we want to come with you guys and I'm like you can Get a case of beer, you can come.

00:20:38.583 --> 00:20:44.032
And she's just like oh, this is not of like koozies with the Maryland state flag on it in there, I'm just adding stuff.

00:20:44.032 --> 00:20:48.469
She is like putting it back, I'm adding it at some point.

00:20:48.469 --> 00:20:58.176
She's just letting me just like which, obviously I'm going to pitch in for the groceries, I actually, but I was zero help.

00:20:58.538 --> 00:20:59.500
It's like shopping with the girls.

00:21:00.884 --> 00:21:04.875
Yeah, I was on my fish high but we were having a great time, cause that's how we like roll.

00:21:04.875 --> 00:21:06.739
I was just, she was pushing the cart having a great time, because that's how we roll.

00:21:06.739 --> 00:21:07.741
She was pushing the cart.

00:21:07.741 --> 00:21:08.826
She wouldn't even let me push the cart.

00:21:08.826 --> 00:21:11.261
I'm just walking around singing, picking out limes.

00:21:11.261 --> 00:21:13.066
I'm like let's make margaritas.

00:21:13.066 --> 00:21:20.522
She's like let's make what's on the list, tina, which I always make margaritas on that trip.

00:21:20.522 --> 00:21:21.664
This is the whole thing.

00:21:21.664 --> 00:21:28.434
The year before is the year that I sliced open my hand like an idiot is that like your drink that you make on family vacations is margaritas.

00:21:28.454 --> 00:21:33.932
That's like your claim to fame yeah, because it gets everyone like toasty I make peach daiquiris.

00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:46.075
that's why I'm asking oh, I want to have a peach daiquiri I make, like with, like turn in peach season with like fresh daiquiris, like fresh peaches, oh my my God, like fire so good I put three ingredients in my margaritas.

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:47.082
This is the problem.

00:21:47.082 --> 00:21:53.653
You're always pushing tequila Well, you know it's good for you.

00:21:53.653 --> 00:21:58.652
And then I put in orange juice and lime juice and then you keep it simple.

00:21:58.652 --> 00:22:00.364
Orange juice Interesting, I don't do any of the nonsense.

00:22:00.364 --> 00:22:02.731
I learned this from a girl that was like that, married to a Colombian, and so that's how they the nonsense.

00:22:02.731 --> 00:22:13.807
I learned this from a girl that was like that, married to a Colombian, and so that's how they do it Orange juice and lime juice, and it's like so good and so fresh and it doesn't have any of that like sugar.

00:22:14.509 --> 00:22:15.732
That's the thing with mixers.

00:22:15.732 --> 00:22:18.304
I do not like that stuff.

00:22:18.384 --> 00:22:21.489
So she taught me how to do it with just orange juice and lime juice and tequila.

00:22:21.489 --> 00:22:23.491
We do a hot honey rim.

00:22:23.491 --> 00:22:25.555
I'm all about the hot honey rim.

00:22:25.555 --> 00:22:26.980
Do you salt it?

00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:35.968
Yeah, but the honey keeps it on and it's like so fun and so usually this is remember the year I like sliced my hand wide open on a can.

00:22:36.248 --> 00:22:49.031
It was like two years ago, same trip, I was making a salad for like lunch, like our big pasta salad with all these things, and I was like standing over the sink and I was thinking about how nice my uncle's can opener was.

00:22:49.031 --> 00:22:56.064
I just took like a mental vacation and cause it was a really nice can open, it was like a kitchen aid can opener Just freaking.

00:22:56.064 --> 00:23:00.441
You know, can opener suck they do, they all suck Piece of shit, right.

00:23:00.441 --> 00:23:02.463
So this one just like drifted around.

00:23:02.463 --> 00:23:27.333
I was like damn and I like, literally, this is a true story I took a break and I just like my hand went right over the perfectly cut edge that I just and I was like Ma, like everyone, like the main people were in the kitchen, right, my Christina, my brother Greg, my mom's in there and my mom's making hamburgers.

00:23:27.820 --> 00:23:32.106
And I'm like mom and she's like Rebecca, cause of course I've been up to shit all day.

00:23:32.106 --> 00:23:36.548
So my mom's like had it up to here and I'm like I just cut my hand.

00:23:36.548 --> 00:23:46.128
And my brother's like I bet it's better, we're going to have to get stitches, and that we're going to have to get stitches, and we're like joke, I'm like laughing because it is actually really bad and I'm panicking.

00:23:46.128 --> 00:23:48.070
And Christina's like oh my God.

00:23:48.070 --> 00:23:53.336
And so I'm like no, I really cut my hand and I'm being really calm, which is the opposite.

00:23:53.336 --> 00:24:01.087
I'm always chaotic, like I could spill a cup of coffee and lose my mind, but if there's a fire, I'm like all right, this is how it's going to.

00:24:01.087 --> 00:24:13.371
So she's like god damn it, rebecca, I've got hamburger hands stop hamburger hamburger hands, stop.

00:24:13.872 --> 00:24:18.683
She's like had it with me, right, and I was like, okay, but I like really cut my hand.

00:24:18.683 --> 00:24:19.606
And then Greg comes over.

00:24:19.606 --> 00:24:20.528
He's like holy shit.

00:24:20.528 --> 00:24:25.011
And she's like she's still on this train where she thinks that we're playing.

00:24:25.011 --> 00:24:28.147
And then Christina's like oh no.

00:24:28.147 --> 00:24:32.824
And then I started to get like because I've been drinking margaritas, I'm like it's okay.

00:24:32.824 --> 00:24:34.288
And then I'm like we'll get.

00:24:34.288 --> 00:24:38.891
I was like Devin's a nurse, let's have her.

00:24:38.891 --> 00:24:42.728
So my mom's like what are we doing?

00:24:42.728 --> 00:24:47.780
Stop, everyone, stitch it.

00:24:47.882 --> 00:24:48.644
So my mom's like what are we doing?

00:24:48.644 --> 00:24:49.246
Stop, everyone stop.

00:24:49.246 --> 00:24:50.971
And I'm like it gets to the point where I'd be like sit down, oh my gosh.

00:24:50.991 --> 00:24:54.763
My sister-in-law's like I'm not stitching that right now, like this is not.

00:24:54.763 --> 00:24:56.530
I'm like what are we doing?

00:24:56.530 --> 00:24:58.277
So Greg is like I'll stitch it.

00:24:58.277 --> 00:24:59.140
I'm like perfect.

00:24:59.140 --> 00:25:01.946
And my mom was like absolutely not.

00:25:01.946 --> 00:25:04.974
No, no, there's nothing.

00:25:04.974 --> 00:25:08.544
That says my brother, who also probably has ADHD.

00:25:08.544 --> 00:25:14.301
So his immediate response is like I'll do it and mine is like great, perfect.

00:25:15.263 --> 00:25:18.573
It was the most chaotic, my mom ended up Did you have to get stitches?

00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:19.500
I should.

00:25:19.500 --> 00:25:20.763
I definitely should have.

00:25:20.763 --> 00:25:22.508
It was a nightmare cut.

00:25:22.508 --> 00:25:26.705
My mom went to CVS to get a bunch of stuff Cause I said I wasn't going to leave and I really wasn't.

00:25:26.705 --> 00:25:29.040
I'm like the guy from Wolf of Wall Street.

00:25:29.040 --> 00:25:33.509
I'm like I'm not fucking leaving, I'm like in my swimsuit.

00:25:33.509 --> 00:25:37.981
So she on the way back, she's all like flustered.

00:25:37.981 --> 00:25:45.973
My uncle has this giant cement like giant, like three feet high, three feet around cement potting thing.

00:25:49.161 --> 00:25:50.644
She freaking jumped it with her forerunner.

00:25:50.644 --> 00:25:53.010
These family vacations sound very chaotic.

00:25:58.359 --> 00:25:59.742
I think it's stressful for my mom, but it actually went really well.

00:25:59.742 --> 00:26:03.951
I mean, half of the people didn't even realize that an accident had happened at the big house.

00:26:03.951 --> 00:26:06.846
Yeah Well, they were just out fishing.

00:26:06.846 --> 00:26:08.246
Nothing to see here.

00:26:08.246 --> 00:26:12.030
Mom takes the forerunner Jackson over my uncle Pete's garden.

00:26:12.030 --> 00:26:14.387
Then they're like looking at the damage on the forerunner.

00:26:14.387 --> 00:26:15.886
She's running upstairs.

00:26:17.608 --> 00:26:20.262
And I love that None of this is children, like it's the adults.

00:26:22.108 --> 00:26:33.059
Yeah, no, I mean, there was a never mind the kids, no there is like always like kid drama, like somewhere between like the adults.

00:26:33.059 --> 00:26:33.279
It's.

00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:33.781
It's fun.

00:26:33.781 --> 00:26:34.001
Here.

00:26:34.001 --> 00:26:35.646
I feel like the kids stories wouldn't be.

00:26:35.646 --> 00:26:40.465
People would be like we need to call cps something like attention.

00:26:40.465 --> 00:26:43.711
It's like the mary Maryland house is so fun.

00:26:43.711 --> 00:26:45.173
It's like we're right on the water.

00:26:45.173 --> 00:26:48.104
There's like horseshoe crabs I love a horseshoe crab.

00:26:48.104 --> 00:26:49.647
I've never been to Maryland.

00:26:49.647 --> 00:26:52.005
Oh my gosh, it's so much fun.

00:26:52.005 --> 00:26:54.107
That was the same trip.

00:26:54.107 --> 00:26:56.263
So obviously my brother is a runner too.

00:26:56.684 --> 00:27:00.993
Where he was like making me wake up and run these trails at the Calvert Cliffs.

00:27:00.993 --> 00:27:03.162
So there's a lot of fossils in Maryland.

00:27:03.162 --> 00:27:07.048
It's kind of like here so you can find like shark's teeth and stuff.

00:27:07.048 --> 00:27:12.336
But it was like black fly season so we were getting eaten alive while we were running.

00:27:12.336 --> 00:27:19.366
At one point he had like ripped a branch off a tree and he was like hitting his back and like screaming and like this is the stuff that makes me laugh.

00:27:19.366 --> 00:27:21.064
I was almost going to pee my pants.

00:27:21.064 --> 00:27:22.667
It's so funny.

00:27:22.708 --> 00:27:28.569
But you run all the way out these like County trails out to the cliffs, so then you're by the water so there's no flies.

00:27:28.569 --> 00:27:49.622
So then we're like jacking around out there for 20 minutes Cause we don't want to have to run back through and I'm like we kept finding these and we were like these don't look like shark's teeth, but they kind of looked like shark's teeth.

00:27:49.622 --> 00:27:51.164
So're like this is amazing, like we're rich in these weird shark's teeth.

00:27:51.164 --> 00:27:56.654
So we get back and we look them up and they're like the pointy part of like the crab claw that's been flies.

00:27:56.654 --> 00:27:57.978
I was like we're stupid.

00:27:57.978 --> 00:27:59.519
I mean, we know what a shark suit this.

00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:01.804
But we were like these are weird, let's bring them with us.

00:28:01.884 --> 00:28:10.040
Like you thought you hit like the shark's teeth, like jackpot your fly territory is awful with handfuls of these like black crab claws.

00:28:10.040 --> 00:28:12.465
Oh my gosh, it's just a who.

00:28:12.465 --> 00:28:21.970
I feel like being an adult is funny if you can find the humor in it, oh yeah I mean I hated that you made me wake up early to run though.

00:28:23.752 --> 00:28:24.835
You all talk when you run.

00:28:26.065 --> 00:28:26.666
Yeah, the whole time.

00:28:26.666 --> 00:28:28.467
How do you run and talk?

00:28:28.467 --> 00:28:29.902
That's all I do.

00:28:29.902 --> 00:28:33.811
This is you can ask any running partner I have ever had in my life.

00:28:33.811 --> 00:28:36.106
This is why people would ask me to run with them.

00:28:36.106 --> 00:28:39.046
I just run my mouth the whole time.

00:28:39.406 --> 00:28:39.828
No, I don't know.

00:28:39.828 --> 00:28:41.414
If I could do that, I could listen.

00:28:41.414 --> 00:28:42.700
I'd be a great listener.

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:44.412
I don't know if I could do that, I could listen, I would be a great listener.

00:28:44.432 --> 00:28:45.036
I don't know if I could talk.

00:28:45.036 --> 00:28:49.351
Actually, thinking back now, I do believe this is why it was everybody's favorite running partner.

00:28:49.351 --> 00:28:51.646
Never the fastest.

00:28:51.646 --> 00:28:53.446
I would be like their recovery run partner.

00:28:53.446 --> 00:28:57.431
I would just run like a true top tier yapper the whole fucking time.

00:28:57.431 --> 00:29:06.950
I can almost guarantee there's at least three people who are going to listen to this and be like that is exactly why I asked you to go running.

00:29:06.950 --> 00:29:12.404
You can talk when you're biking.

00:29:13.067 --> 00:29:15.472
Yeah, yeah, I can do that.

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:21.925
But like cycling, yeah, and we would just like lean over and like talk, but running, yeah, for sure.

00:29:22.409 --> 00:29:24.701
Oh no, I'm like trying not to die.

00:29:24.701 --> 00:29:25.683
I hate running.

00:29:25.683 --> 00:29:27.249
It hurts my boobies and my knees.

00:29:27.651 --> 00:29:43.403
Not a fan yeah, I mean I actually can't wait to get back to it, but my running with my middle brother is one of my he's probably my favorite running partner that's a nice compliment no, you, it's like funny, we'll get into the weeds because we have a lot of respect for one another.

00:29:43.442 --> 00:29:49.421
Like well, I one time we had an argument about freaking school lunch like we'll like full-on argue.

00:29:49.421 --> 00:29:52.586
I'm like that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

00:29:52.586 --> 00:29:57.202
He's like we, we will get into like a whole while you're running.

00:29:57.202 --> 00:30:08.613
Yeah, or he'll like teach me something, which, by the way, one of my brothers not that one, the other one is an avid listener and the goat pee story, the goat pee on the beard, is real.

00:30:08.613 --> 00:30:09.694
It's only the boys.

00:30:09.694 --> 00:30:12.942
This is how he knows.

00:30:12.942 --> 00:30:26.467
Because then I talked to him on FaceTime because he texts, and he was like that's true, we grew up in like upstate New York where there's a lot of farms, so we have friends that are farmers, like my brothers would go and help they still do.

00:30:26.467 --> 00:30:26.807
Sometimes.

00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:32.009
His best friend Dave, they were kids like eight or nine.

00:30:32.009 --> 00:30:34.093
He says they have goats on the farm.

00:30:34.093 --> 00:30:36.749
He goes yeah, man, they love it when you scratch their beard.

00:30:36.749 --> 00:30:39.105
So Dave made it.

00:30:39.105 --> 00:30:42.087
He was like all right, me and my brother, we're all animal lovers.

00:30:42.087 --> 00:30:45.782
Dave's penis pants, ben's scratching this goat's beard.

00:30:45.782 --> 00:30:50.455
He's like you can't get that piss smell off your hand or ever.

00:30:50.455 --> 00:31:00.961
So they're just boys being boys, right, but that's how he learned that goats yeah you're that's a trivial person and I love that.

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:01.903
I said that you should.

00:31:01.903 --> 00:31:04.851
You would be so good at Trivial Pursuit and you're like I don't even know what that is.

00:31:04.851 --> 00:31:05.571
I really don't.

00:31:06.381 --> 00:31:11.804
I can probably draw you what the exterior of the box looks like, because I've seen it the little pie pieces.

00:31:11.804 --> 00:31:15.546
Oh God, I thought it was like an ornate looking box.

00:31:15.546 --> 00:31:20.002
No, we should play it, because I definitely don't think I've ever played it.

00:31:20.303 --> 00:31:23.326
I feel like you would kick my, like you would be so good at it.

00:31:24.527 --> 00:31:28.009
I feel like I don't know if I would, but I want to try it just for fun.

00:31:28.009 --> 00:31:30.251
You play a game with me?

00:31:30.251 --> 00:31:31.753
Yeah, I bought it.

00:31:31.753 --> 00:31:33.915
I told you I bought a deck of cards, I know.

00:31:33.915 --> 00:31:34.915
Have you done anything with them?

00:31:35.737 --> 00:31:42.730
No, I don't even know where they are right now.

00:31:42.730 --> 00:31:44.334
I saw you post something about a book.

00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:46.584
I just finished the Christmas.

00:31:46.584 --> 00:31:49.510
Uh, what is it A Christmas story?

00:31:49.510 --> 00:31:52.465
I'll look for it, but I just did it last night, so I have it ready for you.

00:31:52.465 --> 00:31:57.367
And then I'm going to, um, the one that you gave me with the purple color.

00:31:57.367 --> 00:32:00.489
Oh yeah, um, I keep singing a song whenever I look at it.

00:32:00.489 --> 00:32:01.578
Hold on, I keep singing a song whenever I look at it.

00:32:01.578 --> 00:32:08.722
Hold on, I do, cause it's on my thing by my TV.

00:32:08.722 --> 00:32:10.747
Oh yeah, so this is the one.

00:32:10.747 --> 00:32:13.311
The Christmas tree farm is the one that's coming to you.

00:32:14.114 --> 00:32:14.193
Oh.

00:32:14.779 --> 00:32:17.281
I'm excited Me me.

00:32:17.281 --> 00:32:20.851
Right on the borderline is where I'm going to wait.

00:32:20.851 --> 00:32:26.307
This is the so every time I see it, cause it's like right on the wooden stand, I'm like meet me halfway.

00:32:26.307 --> 00:32:27.490
Isn't it pretty too?

00:32:27.490 --> 00:32:31.990
Yes, is this about a woman with?

00:32:32.029 --> 00:32:32.451
a baby.

00:32:32.451 --> 00:32:35.867
I did some research before I picked your Christmas books.

00:32:36.308 --> 00:32:40.865
Oh I love this, I love it, I had very like specific things I wanted them to be about.

00:32:40.865 --> 00:32:44.634
So I did a little Well, meet me halfway R& things I wanted to like them to be about.

00:32:44.634 --> 00:32:47.038
So I did a little um well, meet me halfway R and D.

00:32:47.038 --> 00:32:53.740
Okay, so I finished.

00:32:53.740 --> 00:32:54.261
What have I finished?

00:32:54.261 --> 00:32:55.463
I've done all of the the S the chestnut spring series.

00:32:55.463 --> 00:32:58.549
I've got this much more to do for reckless and I.

00:32:58.549 --> 00:32:59.772
This is such a sweet one.

00:32:59.772 --> 00:33:02.684
It's a lot sweeter than steamier, but I'm kind of digging it.

00:33:02.704 --> 00:33:03.948
I'm really into covers like that.

00:33:03.948 --> 00:33:07.603
I'm really into the fact that the authors are doing like three to four covers.

00:33:07.603 --> 00:33:15.107
The Ice Book that you Icebreaker that you and I and Kirsten talked about has a new cover.

00:33:15.107 --> 00:33:17.355
I took a picture of it at Barnes and Noble the other day.

00:33:17.355 --> 00:33:27.835
It's really pretty, but I was like, dang, we need to warn our listeners that the Icebreaker book is back with a brand new cover.

00:33:27.835 --> 00:33:28.844
Okay, we'll have to link that.

00:33:28.844 --> 00:33:32.929
Then I was like how many covers does this book need?

00:33:33.681 --> 00:33:36.692
Yeah, I feel like this Chestnut Springs here.

00:33:36.692 --> 00:33:38.839
You know, they've got the ones where it's like the woman and the man.

00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:46.808
They have the steamy set and you know I typically don't buy those because I feel like they're embarrassing to like.

00:33:46.808 --> 00:33:47.891
If you like, take it somewhere.

00:33:47.891 --> 00:33:52.326
I can't really, oh huh.

00:33:53.200 --> 00:34:00.365
It's like, instead of it being the one with the people, oh yeah, now it's back to.

00:34:00.365 --> 00:34:01.669
It's exactly the same one.

00:34:01.669 --> 00:34:03.207
I looked at it, picked it up and turned it over.

00:34:03.207 --> 00:34:04.163
It's got little.

00:34:04.163 --> 00:34:06.931
People complained, I don't know.

00:34:06.931 --> 00:34:09.047
Now it's even trickier to tell what it is.

00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:11.224
Um so I did.

00:34:11.224 --> 00:34:16.164
I just finished a not so meet cute, oh oh.

00:34:16.867 --> 00:34:17.750
I love that.

00:34:17.750 --> 00:34:18.864
That was early in my.

00:34:18.864 --> 00:34:19.206
Was that?

00:34:19.206 --> 00:34:19.788
Megan Quinn?

00:34:19.788 --> 00:34:32.007
Yes, I can forget a lot of books, but I I the fact that I even know the author to that, the Tessa Bailey, the Megan Quinn's a couple of those I'll never forget.

00:34:32.007 --> 00:34:36.190
But like that, one Dude Left an imprint.

00:34:37.139 --> 00:34:52.735
The spice, the spice in it, and I'm like I want this Rebecca, I want her to be taking a walk and then find a guy who needs to fake a fiance and get unloaded and buy her outfits and put her up and like all of these things.

00:34:52.735 --> 00:34:58.108
I'm like this is in the spice, dear gravy Less.

00:34:59.041 --> 00:35:00.719
I was unglued.

00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:01.521
That's like the spice.

00:35:01.521 --> 00:35:07.148
We have to look around the room and like make sure that no one's looking at you and you feel heat radiating off of your body.

00:35:07.148 --> 00:35:08.922
Oh, you're not even.

00:35:08.922 --> 00:35:11.565
There's no shame, you're just like what is this sauce?

00:35:11.987 --> 00:35:15.869
Yeah, and then, like somebody will interrupt you as you're reading, it's like what, wait, what?

00:35:15.949 --> 00:35:16.652
I'm going to start over.

00:35:16.652 --> 00:35:18.260
I go back two pages.

00:35:18.260 --> 00:35:20.443
I'm like ruining the whole thing.

00:35:20.443 --> 00:35:21.684
You're killing my vibe man.

00:35:21.684 --> 00:35:27.972
You're killing my vibe One of those ones where you're like, do you ever know it's coming and you're like I'm going to tap this page.

00:35:27.972 --> 00:35:38.061
I'm going to quick make everyone dinner and I'll see you soon.

00:35:38.061 --> 00:35:39.833
I'm going to get a glass of wine, Because if you mess this, next 25 minutes up.

00:35:39.853 --> 00:35:40.295
I'm going to be pissed.

00:35:40.295 --> 00:35:43.304
Yeah, so was the Christmas story good it was good, okay, good, okay.

00:35:43.344 --> 00:35:46.612
Spice level good, it was a um one, okay.

00:35:46.612 --> 00:35:57.998
So I have kind of like a general rule of thumb that once I hit 30, which you know on your kindle, um, I'd like to see some heat yeah like let's be real here, I'm not like a slow burn girl.

00:35:58.079 --> 00:35:59.983
I know love a slow burn, not me.

00:35:59.983 --> 00:36:08.760
I know why I'm here, I know why I came, I know why I'm here and I'm like this in my life.

00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:16.664
So just sorry, I'm just not a slow burn girl, like if I decide the wall's got to change, I'm going to give it 24 hours, then it's over.

00:36:16.664 --> 00:36:21.554
It's my like ADHD, like erotic behavior.

00:36:21.554 --> 00:36:23.702
But leave me a little manic.

00:36:23.702 --> 00:36:27.347
I actually told you I like better when they go full heat.

00:36:27.347 --> 00:36:30.190
Then like you don't get anything for a second.

00:36:30.271 --> 00:36:34.335
Like have you read this one, the reckless one?

00:36:34.335 --> 00:36:36.248
I'll have to look back.

00:36:36.248 --> 00:36:37.059
I don't think you have Cause.

00:36:37.059 --> 00:36:43.202
I wanted you to catch up with me in this series, but it's like that heat out the gay and then the slow burn.

00:36:43.202 --> 00:36:43.945
Isn't that like the, is it?

00:36:43.965 --> 00:36:45.168
the like that heat out the gay and then the slow burn.

00:36:45.168 --> 00:36:45.670
Isn't that like the?

00:36:45.670 --> 00:36:49.119
Is it the miles brothers where you get like catastrophic heat in the first like?

00:36:49.139 --> 00:36:49.440
yes.

00:36:50.001 --> 00:36:50.442
And you're like.

00:36:50.903 --> 00:36:52.048
Oh, I've read two of those.

00:36:52.048 --> 00:36:53.947
I'm about to read the third after I finish this one.

00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:57.369
And then they separate and then you're like waiting the whole time.

00:36:57.369 --> 00:36:57.951
I love that.

00:36:57.951 --> 00:37:01.030
This one's more like a slow burn, but the burns good Okay.

00:37:02.079 --> 00:37:02.400
It's good.

00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:03.043
Okay, it's good.

00:37:03.043 --> 00:37:07.161
Yeah, miles brothers next on my list um what did I tell you?

00:37:07.161 --> 00:37:09.425
It's like it's not, I'm on number three.

00:37:09.425 --> 00:37:10.688
It'll be casanova.

00:37:11.188 --> 00:37:15.061
Oh, I hate that title I can't remember which one that is, though.

00:37:15.061 --> 00:37:20.003
The very first one was the one that, just like, there are books stop over.

00:37:20.003 --> 00:37:24.371
I'll know that's the one where the heat's out of the game.

00:37:24.371 --> 00:37:25.213
Crush.

00:37:25.213 --> 00:37:28.226
If you just need to crush it, y'all, that's the one.

00:37:28.407 --> 00:37:29.429
Yeah, that's a good one.

00:37:29.429 --> 00:37:35.307
So, yeah, so I have not hit my goal of how many books I wanted to read this year.

00:37:35.307 --> 00:37:37.572
Ooh, do you keep track?

00:37:37.572 --> 00:37:41.807
I do, yeah, mainly because I like to be able to offer recommendations.

00:37:41.807 --> 00:37:43.751
Yeah.

00:37:43.911 --> 00:37:44.572
TL Swan.

00:37:44.572 --> 00:37:47.918
So we should mention that that's TL Swan is another one.

00:37:47.918 --> 00:37:50.112
I love her books.

00:37:50.472 --> 00:37:52.431
Yes, she is fire too.

00:37:52.431 --> 00:37:53.864
The.

00:37:53.905 --> 00:38:00.731
Casanova, though, has 63,611, four and a half stars on Goodreads, so I think you're going to really enjoy it.

00:38:00.985 --> 00:38:02.030
I just hate the title.

00:38:02.030 --> 00:38:04.692
It's the Casanova thing that's throwing me.

00:38:04.692 --> 00:38:06.608
I don't know, it's Elliot.

00:38:07.811 --> 00:38:08.485
You're going to have fun.

00:38:08.847 --> 00:38:10.971
Okay, I'm excited, so that one's next.

00:38:10.971 --> 00:38:15.478
Um, yeah, lots of reading here lately.

00:38:15.478 --> 00:38:16.447
I don't know why.

00:38:16.967 --> 00:38:23.432
I just had to get myself into it for a second there, I think until I took down Christmas I couldn't like fully focus back to your like.

00:38:23.432 --> 00:38:25.056
Everything needs to be purged.

00:38:25.056 --> 00:38:28.806
I'm there.

00:38:28.806 --> 00:38:29.347
I very much like it.

00:38:29.367 --> 00:38:30.751
I got to a point where I was scrubbing my baseboards.

00:38:30.751 --> 00:38:32.978
You had me pin my pants.

00:38:32.978 --> 00:38:35.788
In that text message, Shane, when you were telling me all the things you were doing.

00:38:36.148 --> 00:38:38.032
Full episode, full manic episode.

00:38:38.032 --> 00:38:40.606
Just on my hands and knees scrubbing the baseboards.

00:38:40.606 --> 00:38:51.501
Yesterday I cleaned my entire vacuum I saw it in that picture Took it apart, scrubbed it, hand-washed the filter, then washed it in the washing machine.

00:38:51.501 --> 00:38:54.293
I was like the pee sisters are driving me nuts.

00:38:54.293 --> 00:38:56.610
Breton's UTI is definitely back.

00:38:57.092 --> 00:38:57.853
Oh God Pee.

00:38:57.873 --> 00:38:58.596
Palace again.

00:38:58.596 --> 00:39:04.237
So I figured out that they've been using my carpet on my back porch.

00:39:04.237 --> 00:39:11.666
What a bunch of assholes.

00:39:11.666 --> 00:39:16.721
And I appreciate it because it's not in here, but like no, so I had to roll up the take it out.

00:39:16.721 --> 00:39:18.125
I have a new carpet coming.

00:39:18.125 --> 00:39:19.067
It comes Friday.

00:39:19.067 --> 00:39:20.188
It's amazing.

00:39:20.188 --> 00:39:25.338
Um, so that is a washable carpet Like the other two in here.

00:39:25.338 --> 00:39:29.076
I'm I could not be a bigger advocate for washable carpets.

00:39:29.076 --> 00:39:32.514
Even if you don't have the P sisters, you need a washable carpet.

00:39:32.534 --> 00:39:33.056
For sure.

00:39:33.056 --> 00:39:40.338
So I buy cheap rugs and replace them about every six months.

00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:41.278
Same.

00:39:41.278 --> 00:39:46.769
The one in the living room really needs to be replaced right now, but I kind of need her UTI to stop.

00:39:46.769 --> 00:39:52.657
However, no one's actually been using it, so I might just go to Costco or Lowe's and find another one.

00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:53.181
That's where I get mine.

00:39:53.181 --> 00:39:53.945
Yeah, I'm at Costco.

00:39:53.945 --> 00:39:59.525
I buy their rugs and I just replace them every six months because I feel like they just get nasty and they stink.

00:39:59.545 --> 00:40:03.335
There's no, I'm not paying to clean that somehow.

00:40:03.335 --> 00:40:09.530
So my washable ones are the ones that are like in the bathroom or like in the hallways.

00:40:09.530 --> 00:40:10.532
I'm all about that life.

00:40:11.673 --> 00:40:12.074
So, yeah.

00:40:12.074 --> 00:40:15.407
So tomorrow's New Year's day, so I'm taking down all of the things.

00:40:15.407 --> 00:40:16.891
Are you doing that on New Year's day?

00:40:16.891 --> 00:40:22.911
Yeah, I am, because I am ready to take clean energy into 2025.

00:40:23.452 --> 00:40:24.134
Yeah, I'm a big.

00:40:24.134 --> 00:40:25.476
That's part of why I do it.

00:40:25.476 --> 00:40:27.358
I got like new eucalyptus.

00:40:27.358 --> 00:40:28.710
Sorry, this thing needs power.

00:40:28.710 --> 00:40:32.215
Oh, this is the carpet I got for the porch.

00:40:33.786 --> 00:40:38.387
Ooh, that's pretty and it's a little out there right, I love the green, don't you?

00:40:38.487 --> 00:40:39.110
The green, the blue?

00:40:39.110 --> 00:40:43.492
Well, we need patterns, because we got dog hair, yep, so you got to have a pattern.

00:40:43.492 --> 00:40:49.713
It can't be and it can't be too done, because that shows the dog hair worse.

00:40:49.733 --> 00:40:54.465
Yep, yeah, I'm gonna be doing some major purging tomorrow, um, which I'm excited about.

00:40:54.465 --> 00:40:56.873
Did you see they're calling for like snow next week?

00:40:57.315 --> 00:41:00.143
I did I thought so I follow this guy.

00:41:00.143 --> 00:41:01.387
Do you follow mike's weather page?

00:41:01.387 --> 00:41:02.168
Of course I do.

00:41:02.168 --> 00:41:02.688
Who doesn't?

00:41:02.688 --> 00:41:03.972
Okay, I don't know.

00:41:03.972 --> 00:41:07.858
So he said it last night and I was like, wait, is this a prank?

00:41:08.364 --> 00:41:10.472
Oh, my God, I am here for it.

00:41:10.472 --> 00:41:12.331
Do you really think we're going to get snow?

00:41:12.331 --> 00:41:14.615
I don't know, but I am really wanting to.

00:41:14.615 --> 00:41:16.242
I want us to have some Cause.

00:41:16.242 --> 00:41:18.130
You remember it did that that one year.

00:41:18.130 --> 00:41:19.574
It was literally the same week.

00:41:19.574 --> 00:41:21.871
Oh, was it when Summit was born?

00:41:27.244 --> 00:41:32.485
Well, she was born that October and we had to, like she was an infant, and we were flying back from New York right then, cause my mom used to have a big new year's day party before COVID.

00:41:32.485 --> 00:41:37.257
We would leave on the 26th, go home for all of that, and then we were coming back.

00:41:37.257 --> 00:41:41.797
We got stuck in Baltimore and we had to rent a minivan and drive through the snow and stuff.

00:41:41.797 --> 00:41:42.847
Oh my gosh.

00:41:42.847 --> 00:41:44.813
And she was a little little infant.

00:41:44.813 --> 00:41:50.893
I have pictures of her being a tiny little tater tot in the snow.

00:41:50.932 --> 00:41:52.295
I know I saved a bunch the other day.

00:41:53.376 --> 00:41:54.458
It was a serious snow.

00:41:54.458 --> 00:41:57.210
I've been in Charleston for a while.

00:41:57.210 --> 00:42:05.873
It snowed here when I was probably, I think, it was the year of Hugo or right after that winter, but it snowed here.

00:42:05.873 --> 00:42:07.945
I was down here visiting my dad, so it snowed.

00:42:07.945 --> 00:42:12.315
We had a really big snow then, and then that snow that we had in 20,.

00:42:12.315 --> 00:42:13.958
Was it 2018?

00:42:15.606 --> 00:42:15.885
Or not.

00:42:15.885 --> 00:42:18.010
It would have been yeah, january 2018.

00:42:18.291 --> 00:42:21.097
Okay, so that was the big.

00:42:21.097 --> 00:42:25.530
That was the the second big snow that I've seen in Charleston, and it was a big one.

00:42:26.833 --> 00:42:29.155
I think I need to get hats and gloves we don't really have.

00:42:29.315 --> 00:42:32.001
We haven't jacked up Me neither I had to like put.

00:42:32.001 --> 00:42:40.152
I remember Clark was like what she was, four, yeah, and I had her little feet wrapped in like plastic bags.

00:42:41.115 --> 00:42:41.597
Everyone did.

00:42:41.597 --> 00:42:43.130
A friend was just joking about this.

00:42:43.130 --> 00:42:46.806
He's like.

00:42:46.806 --> 00:42:48.273
All of our kids looked homeless because we didn't have anything.

00:42:48.293 --> 00:42:57.503
We were shoving their feet into Ziplocs and then into their regular shoes, yes so, but oh my God, it was like some of the best days we had as a family, because it was just cozy and everything.

00:42:58.025 --> 00:42:59.485
I feel like we need to go online and get some hats and gloves right now.

00:42:59.525 --> 00:43:03.731
I know we probably do Truly, so I'm like I'm super excited.

00:43:07.425 --> 00:43:07.485
I.

00:43:07.485 --> 00:43:09.329
So I'm like I'm super excited, I'm excited, I really.

00:43:09.329 --> 00:43:10.331
When I saw that, I was like is this for real?

00:43:10.331 --> 00:43:15.554
I haven't seen like rob fowler or anyone about it, but I saw mike talk about it, which usually means it's true yeah, usually.

00:43:15.735 --> 00:43:23.271
So I'm excited, I'm I'm looking, I'm hopeful that it will, because clark is dying to see some snow it's so funny because this always happens.

00:43:23.291 --> 00:43:25.132
Almost every year.

00:43:25.132 --> 00:43:26.193
Two things happen.

00:43:26.193 --> 00:43:29.077
School year starts the week of Labor Day.

00:43:29.077 --> 00:43:40.197
We have a hurricane Yep, they're out for a week Warm something Almost always Yep, they go back from Christmas break within a week, out for three days Yep.

00:43:40.197 --> 00:43:46.998
You know, what I really wish we would do is just call it a snow day and not an e-learning day, because I just can't.

00:43:46.998 --> 00:43:50.173
I'm like can we not just use a weather day?

00:43:50.173 --> 00:43:51.570
Let's use a weather day.

00:43:51.744 --> 00:43:53.291
I feel so bad.

00:43:53.291 --> 00:44:01.369
I'm very fortunate that our school does not do that, but we did do that when we were in another school and those e-learning are rough.

00:44:02.271 --> 00:44:03.012
I can't deal with it.

00:44:03.012 --> 00:44:05.375
It's awful Like.

00:44:05.375 --> 00:44:06.115
This is not for me.

00:44:06.115 --> 00:44:07.157
Let the kids be outside.

00:44:07.157 --> 00:44:09.519
What happened to like a good, old-fashioned snow day?

00:44:09.760 --> 00:44:10.000
Yeah.

00:44:10.221 --> 00:44:19.032
No, my mom used to have a rule that if you couldn't see the back fence, then even if the so we grew up obviously in New York it would come across the bottom of the TV.

00:44:19.032 --> 00:44:29.760
Oh, it's the best, wasn't it so good, right, it was all the time Like especially this time of year, all the time, but like if they didn't call ours, cause it would get kind of like late.

00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:39.673
Like you start getting like you're like I really have to get ready, or like you have to call it like Caledonia first, or like Livingston County, or like all the ones way out there, and then they would like bring it in.

00:44:39.673 --> 00:44:51.728
I was like if you can't see the back fence, you don't need to worry about going.

00:44:51.728 --> 00:44:59.059
So we would be like in her room, like like you'd be, like I couldn't see for three whole seconds, so classic like they were so fun, though, like I feel like that was the best way to find out.

00:44:59.139 --> 00:45:10.431
I will never forget probably the best snow day I ever had was I was in high school and I would spend the night at a friend's Jamie Cruise and we got snowed in at her house for like days.

00:45:10.431 --> 00:45:14.449
We rode four wheelers and we ate snacks.

00:45:14.449 --> 00:45:15.708
We had all of our friends together.

00:45:15.708 --> 00:45:18.132
It was the most fun.

00:45:18.132 --> 00:45:22.550
Just hands down, it was just the most fun.

00:45:22.550 --> 00:45:24.913
But now these kids got it easy today.

00:45:24.913 --> 00:45:26.307
Now it's like social media.

00:45:26.307 --> 00:45:28.855
You don't have to stay glued to the tv.

00:45:28.914 --> 00:45:32.851
I'm like that's no fun wouldn't have even, but the all that stuff like.

00:45:32.851 --> 00:45:35.297
So there was this thing, it's called an ice storm.

00:45:35.297 --> 00:45:47.000
We had an ice storm in 1992 in new york and it was I'll find pictures, but like you couldn't go anywhere, for it had to have been at least like five days.

00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:53.757
I my recollection, because I was a kid right, I would have been nine like we'd all gotten big beanbags for christmas.

00:45:53.757 --> 00:45:55.829
We had to live in my living room.

00:45:55.829 --> 00:45:58.914
There's no power by my fireplace.

00:45:58.914 --> 00:46:10.327
Like it, my dad, like everyone, was trying to help everyone out, but the ice was so much that like all the power lines came down, oof, like there was no.

00:46:10.327 --> 00:46:15.693
Like putting it back together was so slow, like borderline, like a hurricane would have been here.

00:46:15.693 --> 00:46:18.226
Yeah, oh my God, like you.

00:46:18.226 --> 00:46:20.853
Just no one had generators.

00:46:20.853 --> 00:46:23.572
No, like you were, just it kept snowing.

00:46:23.572 --> 00:46:26.054
So like everyone's just trying to plow out what's coming now.

00:46:30.905 --> 00:46:31.585
It was the craziest silliest.

00:46:31.626 --> 00:46:32.487
Did you like snow being from new york or no?

00:46:32.487 --> 00:46:38.836
Um, I like it between the dates of december 22nd and january 5th.

00:46:38.836 --> 00:46:40.679
Maybe those are.

00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:42.568
That's my, that's your window.

00:46:42.568 --> 00:46:45.215
Yeah, like if it snows on christmas.

00:46:45.215 --> 00:46:47.507
I had a couple friends call me and be like it's a white christmas.

00:46:47.507 --> 00:46:53.911
We called christina and they had a white christmas and said kids they kept calling creepy.

00:46:53.951 --> 00:46:56.938
He was kind of creepy where they built the snowman in the backyard.

00:46:56.938 --> 00:47:16.369
It looked like he was kind of like a little bit far out so you're like in the dark you could see his white, but he was like looking in through the window and I was like he is kind of creepy the way you guys built him, you freaking jerks and they had built this like big, like snow igloo tunnel to like go in and out of and they had built like a big snow mountain so like that kind of stuff.

00:47:16.369 --> 00:47:19.516
Great um, snow is dirty though.

00:47:19.516 --> 00:47:22.822
There it is dirt, it's dirty.

00:47:22.822 --> 00:47:31.605
It brings shit all over your house, all over your car, they pile up in parking lots and it takes forever to melt and just like leaks, salt and disgustingness everywhere.

00:47:31.605 --> 00:47:33.768
I can't get excited about that.

00:47:33.768 --> 00:47:47.056
Yeah, I feel that putting my sister-in-law has to put three kids and all sorts of snow shit just to go and do some snowy thing like it is a nightmare just from a logistics standpoint.

00:47:47.398 --> 00:47:52.797
Oh yeah, and then you get them in their clothes and then they have to go to the bathroom, always, always.

00:47:54.065 --> 00:47:57.034
And one person is always mad about the whole thing.

00:47:57.034 --> 00:47:58.331
You're like, I'm trying to do this for you.

00:47:58.331 --> 00:48:05.851
We had my elementary school was there's a giant hill behind that's where everyone went sledding.

00:48:05.851 --> 00:48:17.574
So, like everybody went, we all went there, and so, like you would just get there and everyone's dad would be there, right, the moms were all home and, like every, you'd be sledding with all of your friends.

00:48:17.574 --> 00:48:21.128
One year, one of my friends actually broke her leg.

00:48:21.128 --> 00:48:28.706
So we were kids and she, uh-huh, she broke her leg and my dad was the dad that carried her all the way up the sledding hill.

00:48:28.706 --> 00:48:35.588
My friend, nicole Peston, broke her leg and, like she, my dad carried her all the way up the sledding hill that sucks.

00:48:35.608 --> 00:48:44.755
We don't have any hills here in Charleston, so my dad does have one, so that's nice, we can go slide down his yeah, but yeah no, we don't have any hill.

00:48:44.755 --> 00:48:47.539
It was a bit it's a big hill.

00:48:49.309 --> 00:48:52.956
As an adult now I would like to re-see it so that I could understand.

00:48:52.996 --> 00:49:02.753
But like as a kid, I was like it's like that reel you sent me the other day with the dad pushing the kid yes, and he's like, oh shoot, we gotta go.

00:49:02.934 --> 00:49:04.197
Because he goes so far.

00:49:04.197 --> 00:49:05.338
He's like wait, where does that go?

00:49:05.338 --> 00:49:07.268
Because he takes the kind of a left.

00:49:07.268 --> 00:49:09.856
They're like panicking, that's the thing.

00:49:09.856 --> 00:49:11.686
You'd be there with all your dad.

00:49:11.686 --> 00:49:16.516
So you're kind of like uh, is anyone like making a judgment?

00:49:16.516 --> 00:49:18.139
Like you knew as a kid.

00:49:18.139 --> 00:49:26.010
You're like okay, and like like parts of it, people would build up like little ramps and stuff.

00:49:27.992 --> 00:49:30.014
Oh, talking about this really makes me want to stay.

00:49:30.014 --> 00:49:32.476
It would be so fun.

00:49:32.516 --> 00:49:40.682
So this will air next Thursday, so it would be potentially right in Cross, I know.

00:49:40.682 --> 00:49:42.407
So what do we have to do?

00:49:42.407 --> 00:49:45.074
We have to sleep with all of our pajamas and socks inside out.

00:49:45.655 --> 00:49:47.585
Yep, and then we dump ice in the toilet.

00:49:47.585 --> 00:49:50.092
Okay, check what else.

00:49:50.092 --> 00:49:53.907
There's something you got to put in the freezer, a pencil maybe.

00:49:54.768 --> 00:49:56.452
Let's ask Chachi BT All right.

00:49:56.492 --> 00:49:58.297
Find out for us so we can do all the things.

00:49:58.844 --> 00:50:05.235
So also um I this is a side note so I went.

00:50:05.235 --> 00:50:10.969
Your grandmother's funeral was recently, so sorry about all of that.

00:50:11.269 --> 00:50:11.690
Thank you.

00:50:12.652 --> 00:50:19.496
I used chat GPT when I was talking to Clark and I may have accidentally taught both of us that coffee bars eat their own poop.

00:50:19.496 --> 00:50:28.391
I think it might be important for you to know that you know I'm going to be honest with you.

00:50:29.166 --> 00:50:33.501
The fact that that's the only thing that you taught her I'm feeling pretty good about Okay we're good.

00:50:33.864 --> 00:50:36.492
So I like looked it up because I was like, oh, I thought they were Australian.

00:50:36.492 --> 00:50:37.635
She's like, no, they live in the rainforest.

00:50:37.635 --> 00:50:38.317
I was like really.

00:50:38.317 --> 00:50:40.726
So we look it up and it's like oh yeah.

00:50:40.726 --> 00:50:44.789
And she was like, but I think they eat pythons or something.

00:50:44.789 --> 00:50:51.615
I was like really A capybara, but I had seen it made sense that they like being wet, because we've both seen that video where they're like sitting in the tub.

00:50:51.615 --> 00:50:54.757
It's a belly, their big fat belly is like so proud.

00:50:54.757 --> 00:50:57.601
I'm like this animal is my spirit animal, this thing is.

00:50:57.601 --> 00:51:00.925
And they're like proud, yeah, so proud.

00:51:00.925 --> 00:51:02.126
So I was like, oh, that makes sense.

00:51:02.126 --> 00:51:05.630
So I was like, surely that animal doesn't eat a python.

00:51:05.630 --> 00:51:06.612
No, that can't be right.

00:51:06.612 --> 00:51:20.938
So I asked Judge T what it eats and it was like oh, it's an herbivore, like berries, nuts, but sometimes it will eat its own poop a second time for added nutrients.

00:51:20.938 --> 00:51:30.338
And I was like, oops, and so I've been meaning to tell you that that might have happened.

00:51:30.518 --> 00:51:34.132
So if that comes up, Then I'll know that it came from a man, becca.

00:51:34.132 --> 00:51:35.175
Okay, got it.

00:51:35.757 --> 00:51:36.820
From Angie BD.

00:51:36.820 --> 00:51:39.907
I could have never known and now our kids can read.

00:51:39.907 --> 00:51:42.389
Which is like so unfortunate, I mean it's amazing, it's amazing, oh God.

00:51:42.389 --> 00:51:44.831
Which is like so unfortunate, I mean it's amazing.

00:51:44.831 --> 00:51:46.952
It's amazing, unfortunate.

00:51:46.952 --> 00:51:48.653
Yes In some ways.

00:51:48.653 --> 00:51:56.420
I'm like we can't get away with crap, like Whitney used to tell her kids that the candy at the grocery store she was like does that look like your name?

00:51:56.420 --> 00:51:58.181
That's not your name, that's not for you.

00:52:00.864 --> 00:52:03.108
If you see your name here one day, then you can get your piece.

00:52:03.148 --> 00:52:20.112
Eventually they could, which was brilliant like but eventually they could read and they're like that's no one's name, like oh sorry oh, what else we have to do for some snow what are?

00:52:20.291 --> 00:52:26.358
thestitious yeah, that sounds right Superstitions.

00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:30.210
Okay, that sounds right.

00:52:30.210 --> 00:52:35.405
Right, you need to do to get snow it's got to be.

00:52:35.405 --> 00:52:36.929
You must have to say it a different way.

00:52:36.929 --> 00:52:43.650
Oh yeah, nope, wear your pajamas inside out.

00:52:43.931 --> 00:52:44.213
Got it.

00:52:45.144 --> 00:52:46.186
Put a spoon under your pillow.

00:52:46.628 --> 00:52:46.987
Okay.

00:52:47.949 --> 00:52:49.652
Flush ice cubes down the toilet.

00:52:49.652 --> 00:52:50.552
There, you pajamas inside out.

00:52:50.552 --> 00:52:50.693
Got it?

00:52:50.693 --> 00:52:51.355
Put a spoon under your pillow.

00:52:51.355 --> 00:52:52.175
Okay, flush ice cubes down the toilet.

00:52:52.175 --> 00:52:52.876
There's, do a snow dance.

00:52:52.876 --> 00:52:55.420
Leave a white crayon on the windowsill.

00:53:02.224 --> 00:53:02.646
That's what it was.

00:53:02.646 --> 00:53:04.570
We put a white crayon on the freezer Wear socks to bed.

00:53:04.590 --> 00:53:04.849
Ugh, the worst.

00:53:04.849 --> 00:53:11.570
Eat snow inspired foods marshmallows, white chocolate, but I think it's like the top ones.

00:53:12.414 --> 00:53:12.894
Yeah, I think.

00:53:12.894 --> 00:53:14.570
And then we did ice cream for dinner.

00:53:14.570 --> 00:53:15.914
That was one of the other ones.

00:53:16.206 --> 00:53:17.510
That's the snow inspired food.

00:53:17.510 --> 00:53:20.811
Yeah, I'm going to take pictures of this.

00:53:20.811 --> 00:53:33.581
The last thing I looked up on chat GPT was why do Christmas M&M's taste different than other M&M's Guys?

00:53:34.304 --> 00:53:36.853
Have you asked chat GPT to roast you?

00:53:36.853 --> 00:53:39.052
Yet I would kill to read yours.

00:53:39.746 --> 00:53:43.797
I did ask it to roast somebody, but I did not ask it to roast me.

00:53:44.567 --> 00:53:45.389
You should do yourself.

00:53:45.429 --> 00:53:48.650
It's really freaking funny do you just take a picture of yourself, or what?

00:53:48.811 --> 00:53:57.217
no, because what it does is it pulls off of what you ask it, so it roasts you like, based on your crazy mind.

00:53:57.217 --> 00:54:02.309
It is freaking hilarious well, so I did.

00:54:02.329 --> 00:54:12.474
I really did ask it why they taste different, and I was, and it's obviously they're made the same Color, psychology, context and environment.

00:54:12.474 --> 00:54:23.010
Because, nostalgia, there's a freshness bias, ah, with holiday M&Ms that they haven't been around that I agree with you I feel like they're creamier.

00:54:23.010 --> 00:54:24.739
It's something about it.

00:54:24.739 --> 00:54:26.907
They just hit different the red and the girls.

00:54:26.907 --> 00:54:34.992
And then I would that the easter m&ms are scary that I will crush an easter m&m girl talk dirty to me.

00:54:35.092 --> 00:54:37.018
I was at sam's the other day with my mom.

00:54:37.018 --> 00:54:39.405
They had them starburst jelly beans out.

00:54:39.405 --> 00:54:45.757
It took all I had not to buy a 12 pack of them eas Easter candy really is.

00:54:45.817 --> 00:54:48.510
We talked about this last year, but it is king.

00:54:48.510 --> 00:54:52.672
There is superior Something about it we had.

00:54:52.672 --> 00:54:55.592
There's apparently a freshness bias with M&Ms which makes.

00:54:55.592 --> 00:55:15.539
Well, you know, one of the things I asked chat GPD was when you and I were talking about why we look so ugly at target checkout, and it told me will you please roast yourself and then text it to me, because I'll text you mine right say like roast my no, just say roast me, you're gonna die, you're no.

00:55:15.818 --> 00:55:18.353
And then you can keep saying give me more, give me more.

00:55:18.353 --> 00:55:22.447
Well, that sounded kind of dirty, but yeah, like you can keep saying it, it'll keep going.

00:55:22.447 --> 00:55:26.233
Everybody y'all should do that.

00:55:26.393 --> 00:55:28.398
Have just said one thing.

00:55:28.398 --> 00:55:29.360
What did it say?

00:55:29.360 --> 00:55:31.393
Oh, you want to roast.

00:55:31.393 --> 00:55:33.320
Bold of you to assume I need to try.

00:55:33.320 --> 00:55:41.797
You're like a software update always around, never asked for, somehow still slow no, that's like paragraphs.

00:55:42.179 --> 00:55:43.804
That's what it did when I asked somebody else.

00:55:43.804 --> 00:55:50.057
Like I need to know who you asked it to roast, I'm going to need you to text me that.

00:55:52.010 --> 00:55:53.847
Wait, let's say it roasts me on my chat.

00:55:53.847 --> 00:55:56.010
Gpt algorithm, right.

00:55:56.030 --> 00:55:56.871
I don't think I said that.

00:55:56.871 --> 00:55:57.735
Let me see what I said.

00:56:00.355 --> 00:56:01.304
I asked it about the bills.

00:56:01.304 --> 00:56:11.117
And then I asked it a question about the bills the other day about the MVP, and then my Alexa was like hey, becca, do you like the Buffalo Bills?

00:56:11.117 --> 00:56:16.155
I was like yes, and it was like I will add it to your sports books.

00:56:17.106 --> 00:56:25.268
How nice it was, roast me Mine's like.

00:56:25.268 --> 00:56:30.771
I would have to text you this definitely.

00:56:30.971 --> 00:56:38.748
I use it like six times a day, so I do not understand why it didn't give me a bigger row, so I'll ask it again oh, mine's like paragraphs.

00:56:47.438 --> 00:56:48.518
Everybody, you should do this.

00:56:48.518 --> 00:56:51.927
It is very funny and it will make you laugh like.

00:56:51.927 --> 00:57:05.795
We won't even like say who it's from, like, but I love a chat, gpt like oh, I had to use it like if you look at mine, it's like stuff for clark school recipes, like, oh, it's great it's my new I.

00:57:06.476 --> 00:57:18.556
I bought a um Publix the other day, so sometimes Publix will do the rip standing rib roast on sale Probably doing it today, cause they do it a lot around Christmas, labor day and then again on new year's and they don't do it.

00:57:18.556 --> 00:57:23.291
But they'll do the standing rib roast for like $5 a pound instead of like 15 to 18.

00:57:23.291 --> 00:57:36.038
So I got like a four rib one for $37 the other day when I was with the girls because they love steak, and then I got home and I was like what is the plan?

00:57:37.567 --> 00:57:39.974
Now that I have the meat, where do we go from here?

00:57:40.766 --> 00:57:41.347
Bad GBT.

00:57:41.347 --> 00:57:44.572
How do I cook a standing rib roast?

00:57:44.572 --> 00:57:46.335
And I was like it's four pounds.

00:57:46.335 --> 00:57:47.759
I don't have a grill.

00:57:47.759 --> 00:57:53.521
I do have an oven or a stove and it was like you we will.

00:57:53.521 --> 00:57:56.789
It was like this is actually relatively easy, you're in good hands.

00:57:56.789 --> 00:57:59.516
I do like how it adds like a little bit of flair.

00:58:00.005 --> 00:58:01.407
It added to and I love that.

00:58:01.407 --> 00:58:02.528
It like makes you feel good.

00:58:02.789 --> 00:58:06.614
It's like hey, girl, you got this it told, told me I don't even have a meat thermometer.

00:58:06.614 --> 00:58:16.615
So it told me and I said I don't have a meat thermometer and it told me the exact time and I just went with it I love this for you and I love chat gpt.

00:58:17.297 --> 00:58:23.257
He was like this is nice sports through the google nonsense, because I feel like google has gotten too much.

00:58:23.257 --> 00:58:24.186
It's just too much.

00:58:24.726 --> 00:58:29.574
I don't know why I feel this way, but I feel half of Google is either a lie or an ad or an opinion.

00:58:29.574 --> 00:58:32.219
Right, exactly, an opinion, exactly.

00:58:32.219 --> 00:58:41.333
And so I'm like I don't know why I'm putting so much eggs in my chat GPT basket, but I literally made a four pound standing rib roast from it, and it was and let me tell you what you didn't have to read.

00:58:41.632 --> 00:58:48.465
You didn't have to read five scrolls worth of why this recipe for standing rib roast is important to that person.

00:58:49.327 --> 00:58:50.952
Can we talk about that?

00:58:50.952 --> 00:59:02.565
I know, dude, it is a trigger for me the blogger life Because you have to scroll all the way to the bottom and you have to get past all the ads that paid for that blogger and then you get to this piece.

00:59:02.585 --> 00:59:04.132
It is not a deal.

00:59:04.132 --> 00:59:07.496
It makes me bananas.

00:59:07.496 --> 00:59:12.411
It is right on up there with not putting your grocery cart up it's definitely.

00:59:12.590 --> 00:59:14.835
It's like that pinterest mentality about.

00:59:15.538 --> 00:59:18.329
I just can't can't do it, I just.

00:59:18.329 --> 00:59:19.393
It stresses me out.

00:59:19.393 --> 00:59:25.291
The best thing they ever did was invent that jump to recipe button oh yeah, but even then I'm.

00:59:25.572 --> 00:59:27.255
we're still in the weeds, you're still.

00:59:27.255 --> 00:59:29.748
Yeah, it's still like It'll pull you back up.

00:59:29.748 --> 00:59:31.534
Oh yeah, for sure.

00:59:31.534 --> 00:59:32.585
I'm like.

00:59:32.585 --> 00:59:34.969
I know you paid for that ad, but please don't pull me back up.

00:59:34.969 --> 00:59:35.813
I'm trying to be down here.

00:59:36.724 --> 00:59:40.148
Honestly, it'll make me exit out of a website quicker than that.

00:59:40.610 --> 00:59:48.340
A lot of times I'll ask ChatGPT for just like ingredients when I'm in the grocery store, like you know how, sometimes you see something and you're like I should use that.

00:59:48.340 --> 00:59:49.440
Like those are never around.

00:59:49.440 --> 00:59:52.891
Yeah, god bless ChatGPT.

00:59:52.911 --> 00:59:53.831
God bless you.

00:59:53.831 --> 00:59:57.498
Recipes, homework help and all oh yeah.

01:00:01.010 --> 01:00:14.061
So we're going to be fingers crossing for snow Pajamas inside out, spoon under the pillow, white crayon on the windowsill, ice down the toilet eating snow-inspired foods.

01:00:14.061 --> 01:00:15.507
I'm so excited, the Pea.

01:00:16.610 --> 01:00:17.371
Sisters will have the best time.

01:00:17.371 --> 01:00:18.956
Happy New Year everybody.

01:00:18.956 --> 01:00:21.809
