Nostalgia, July 4th & Romanticizing Your Life

Nostalgia, July 4th & Romanticizing Your Life

Send us a text

HAPPY 4TH of JULY! The intro you don’t know you needed - from singing to considering voice lessons and the idea that “people will do anything for money”. 

Ever wondered if your perfectionist tendencies are a product of your genes, or just a learned behavior? Join us as we unpack the fascinating world of nostalgia, performance anxiety, and the pressures of perfectionism, all from Jenny’s husband’s childhood bedroom filled with old trophies and memories. 

Did you know anxiety is genetic? Join us as we consider whether or not that’s why we survived evolution - our ability to please and our ability to be strong contributors.

Don’t miss our take on "Inside Out 2" and how it introduces new emotional dimensions that resonate with kids. As the universe feeds us repetitive themes - nostalgia - anxiety - and romance - we hit pause and unpack each one because nothing is by accident. And if the universe is trying to get our attention, we’re determined to pause and to listen. And somehow - in typical mayhem fashion - we discuss the unique roles we see one another in … 1776. From butter churning to chopping wood and fixing wagons - we take you on a left hand turn, back to “not history” class.

As we navigate through the complexities of personal boundaries in relationships, our discussion becomes a heartfelt reflection on how to maintain friendships while protecting our peace. From a friend feeling excluded to balancing alone time, we share real-life experiences that highlight the importance of setting and respecting boundaries. And we discuss peace - and romance. The simple romance - or the “glimmer” as we later heard it referred to - of finding gratitude in the simplest of things. 

Emphasizing the value of self-worth and platonic love, (yes - the kind we don’t talk about enough - the love we learned from our girlfriends) - we reflect on the journey of moving past the need for validation and embracing those who uplift us. Tune in for a mix of thoughtful reflection, humor, and heartfelt moments as we explore what makes summer and life so sweet.

Happy 4th to you and yours ! 
- Jenny & Raebecca

WEBVTT

00:00:15.595 --> 00:00:17.496
we did sing in last episode.

00:00:17.496 --> 00:00:18.478
Did you have any?

00:00:18.658 --> 00:00:19.939
idea I was gonna do that.

00:00:19.939 --> 00:00:20.760
I didn't either.

00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:21.681
Just so you know.

00:00:21.681 --> 00:00:23.446
That was completely intrusive.

00:00:23.446 --> 00:00:25.271
I don't know what got into me.

00:00:25.820 --> 00:00:32.914
I love the and you know I sang the Golden Girls theme song in our finale and Nate was like you actually didn't sound that bad.

00:00:32.914 --> 00:00:37.310
No, you didn't Do I need to pursue like a musical career.

00:00:37.310 --> 00:00:39.127
Like is this like a new thing?

00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.469
He's like no, we should take voice lessons together.

00:00:42.469 --> 00:00:45.829
I would shit my pants if we took voice lessons together.

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:51.171
I feel fairly certain that no music teacher will touch us with a 10 foot pole Not true.

00:00:51.259 --> 00:00:52.341
People will do anything for money.

00:00:52.341 --> 00:00:55.590
It's true, I think.

00:00:55.590 --> 00:00:56.350
How are you?

00:00:56.350 --> 00:00:57.313
I'm good.

00:00:57.313 --> 00:00:59.005
I haven't seen you in so long.

00:00:59.005 --> 00:01:00.189
I know I miss you.

00:01:00.189 --> 00:01:02.808
You're like on location somewhere exotic.

00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:09.084
Greetings from my husband's childhood bedroom in Clearwater Florida.

00:01:09.084 --> 00:01:13.313
I've got all these little trophies surrounding me no, I see the trophies.

00:01:13.373 --> 00:01:15.725
I'm like I love the nostalgia of this.

00:01:15.725 --> 00:01:18.293
This is so good yeah, yeah, so I'm.

00:01:18.453 --> 00:01:20.960
I'm in Nate's um childhood bedroom.

00:01:20.960 --> 00:01:21.763
So, yeah, we're.

00:01:21.763 --> 00:01:37.670
We typically come to Florida for a couple of weeks in the summer, so Clark can have grandparent time, and so, yeah, you're there for the holiday, right Cause today, today is July 4th I live for it.

00:01:37.670 --> 00:01:43.766
It's in here sucking down Coke Zero and ready to celebrate America.

00:01:43.766 --> 00:01:45.230
You got me out of bed.

00:01:45.950 --> 00:01:46.832
I got you out of bed.

00:01:46.832 --> 00:01:49.447
You know I was awake, I was just laying there.

00:01:49.447 --> 00:01:58.408
I've been so going at a speed that is like bananas and today was my first day to like hit pause and I like I just couldn't.

00:01:58.408 --> 00:02:00.087
I like, you know, I got to hit the pause.

00:02:00.087 --> 00:02:01.706
Are you finally done with swim?

00:02:01.706 --> 00:02:04.286
No, on the 7th I will be done.

00:02:04.286 --> 00:02:06.164
Okay, so you have like a week left.

00:02:06.164 --> 00:02:08.734
Yeah, but it's like, it's like the week.

00:02:08.734 --> 00:02:16.491
It's so intense, it's good stuff, but then we will be done and then we'll get into the next summer mode, which I would love to say is going to be more casual.

00:02:16.491 --> 00:02:20.127
But I have already said yes to like three things, so it's not looking very casual.

00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:26.921
What did you do now?

00:02:26.921 --> 00:02:28.747
I thought you were like gonna be chill after swimming.

00:02:28.747 --> 00:02:29.229
Well then, summer.

00:02:29.229 --> 00:02:31.336
You know, summer was like oh, my friends, they have a family condo in lake norman.

00:02:31.336 --> 00:02:33.002
Like the person, not the season.

00:02:33.002 --> 00:02:34.265
Okay, the person.

00:02:34.265 --> 00:02:38.401
We have a family condo in lake norman and it's randomly open the week after the fourth.

00:02:38.401 --> 00:02:45.546
So she's like, you know, we should just take the girls, we can go to the american girl doll store and we can like do some fun stuff.

00:02:45.586 --> 00:02:45.766
Right.

00:02:45.787 --> 00:02:52.431
So I'm like well, I'm not going to say no to that because of the summer is really about them.

00:02:53.419 --> 00:02:56.688
Yeah, for sure, yeah, listen, don't uh, don't uh.

00:02:56.788 --> 00:03:00.204
And she like grew up there, so it's like her.

00:03:00.204 --> 00:03:05.628
She's like she has like a favorite restaurant and like a favorite ice cream spot and she's like let's just do nostalgia for the week.

00:03:05.628 --> 00:03:09.150
And I was like I love that you're taking me on a nostalgia journey with you.

00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.829
I'm loving that we're keep using this word, because have you seen Inside Out 2 yet?

00:03:15.610 --> 00:03:17.432
No, should I tonight Wait?

00:03:17.432 --> 00:03:18.555
I can't tonight, I could tomorrow.

00:03:19.741 --> 00:03:21.043
You totally need to take the girl.

00:03:21.043 --> 00:03:23.989
So I took Clark about probably two weeks ago.

00:03:23.989 --> 00:03:32.948
Well, right, like literally the day after it came out and nostalgia is one of the emotions in the brain and she's dressed like a little granny.

00:03:32.948 --> 00:03:36.269
I didn't know nostalgia was an emotion.

00:03:36.269 --> 00:03:40.691
Well, she's not one of the like main ones, but she definitely like pops in a few times.

00:03:40.691 --> 00:03:42.346
But I like this idea.

00:03:42.346 --> 00:03:47.862
Yeah, clark like asked me after we left.

00:03:47.862 --> 00:03:49.911
She like so what age do I start getting that?

00:03:49.911 --> 00:03:52.580
And then I was like well, I don't know, probably till you get a little bit older.

00:03:52.580 --> 00:03:57.782
And then she said something like two days later she's like oh, do you remember when those were the good old days?

00:03:57.782 --> 00:03:58.824
I'm like there it is.

00:03:58.824 --> 00:04:01.651
That's the nostalgia coming through your little brain.

00:04:01.961 --> 00:04:04.808
But it's such a good movie I cannot recommend it enough.

00:04:04.808 --> 00:04:26.732
Like anxiety is like one of the new emotions in riley's brain and I think it just really like opened up a really good conversation because we've you know clark's kind of dealt with some of that and I think it really speaks to like children so they can see what's going on in their little brains and that it's not necessarily a good thing.

00:04:26.732 --> 00:04:28.324
You shouldn't let that be there all the time.

00:04:28.324 --> 00:04:30.589
But it just, it, really just.

00:04:30.589 --> 00:04:33.485
It puts in a child's perspective of what anxiety looks like.

00:04:33.485 --> 00:04:35.230
So I cannot recommend the movie enough.

00:04:35.230 --> 00:04:35.911
It's so good.

00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:37.964
So so two things.

00:04:37.964 --> 00:04:41.759
First of all, nostalgia is like actually a keyword for one of our accounts.

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.944
We've been using a ton, so it's so interesting to so interesting to me.

00:04:43.944 --> 00:04:55.050
Like you know, I'm like half witch in some ways, but I just refuse to believe that the universe isn't like more, isn't bigger and more intertwined than some people like navigate it.

00:04:55.050 --> 00:05:02.560
So I just think it's so interesting that things keep repeating and I refuse to ignore when things are repetitive.

00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.071
So I'm like nostalgia, like why do we need to pay bigger attention to that?

00:05:06.071 --> 00:05:08.045
Like, I'm going to give that, I think, a little bit more time.

00:05:08.807 --> 00:05:10.432
Yeah, I like the anxiety thing.

00:05:10.432 --> 00:05:12.485
So we just talked about that with Christina.

00:05:12.485 --> 00:05:16.012
Um, we have some of that going on in our house.

00:05:16.012 --> 00:05:36.670
Um, yep, same age as what you're dealing with at your house, and what we're dealing with is, um, you're dealing with at your house and what we're dealing with is, um, almost like performance anxiety, for lack of a better term but like this perfectionist behavior where, like, we want everything to be perfect, and so, of course, I'm like re-examining myself.

00:05:37.432 --> 00:05:41.925
Yeah, um, but last, funny yo in our kids.

00:05:41.925 --> 00:05:42.387
It's like.

00:05:42.387 --> 00:05:43.651
It's like again.

00:05:43.651 --> 00:05:45.660
It really is like a mirror of self-reflection.

00:05:45.660 --> 00:05:48.069
It's like what have I done?

00:05:48.069 --> 00:05:49.983
Like have.

00:05:50.023 --> 00:05:53.305
I taught you this, yes, well, and I'm like, have I mimicked this?

00:05:53.305 --> 00:05:54.665
Like, how did I bring this here?

00:05:54.665 --> 00:05:55.966
Like what am I responsible for?

00:05:55.966 --> 00:06:05.199
So last night was one of the trials, because obviously we don't record exactly in the fourth but Olympic trials for gymnastics, which my mom texts me, and we don't record exactly on the 4th but Olympic trials for gymnastics which my mom texts me.

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:06.684
And we hadn't intended we were going to watch.

00:06:06.983 --> 00:06:13.370
We have a new rom-com that we love, um, and I'm going to have to find the name of it, cause you know, I can't remember a freaking thing.

00:06:13.370 --> 00:06:18.172
To save my life, like my short-term memory is shot, which is funny Cause that's what this is about too.

00:06:18.172 --> 00:06:26.824
The movie is called anyone, but you, we love this, okay.

00:06:26.824 --> 00:06:28.632
So we were like, oh, we'll watch anyone, but you again, we just watched it the day prior.

00:06:28.632 --> 00:06:30.057
But my mom's like, oh, the trials are on, you should watch it.

00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.149
And in the, what we're talking about in my house is specifically a gymnastics thing.

00:06:34.149 --> 00:06:45.596
So one of the girls shares this story of getting really nervous before and her coach was like listen, like you're a goldfish, you have a short-term memory.

00:06:45.596 --> 00:06:46.682
Forget all of that.

00:06:46.682 --> 00:06:48.086
You know what you're capable of.

00:06:48.086 --> 00:07:19.889
I know what you're capable of, because she made a mistake right before trials and so it got like in her head which is kind of what just happened here, in a non-Olympic trial sense, and I was like this is such good feedback for even adults Like one little mistake, even though it feels that big because of the stage you're about to walk on, is not representative of your actual capacity and I was like right, and I was like I had to take the moment where I was like I mean, if we can say that to Olympic athletes, I'm going to have to be repeat that to myself a few more times.

00:07:21.161 --> 00:07:26.814
Oh, for sure, I feel like kind of as I've gone up, because I am a definite perfectionist.

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:36.610
yeah, I'm someone who's super hard on myself too, but I feel like I've tried to like adapt this like mentality of is this really going to matter in a year?

00:07:36.610 --> 00:07:42.507
Yeah, and I'm just like because, like not many things do I mean truly, they really, really don't.

00:07:42.507 --> 00:07:44.149
So so I'm trying to instill that in Clark.

00:07:44.149 --> 00:07:45.853
But let me tell you what my therapist said.

00:07:45.853 --> 00:08:08.661
So I had talked to her about this and actually had talked to kind of like a counselor who counsels children she's a child therapist and she was telling me fun fact that a lot of it is not learned behavior, a lot of it has to do with genetics.

00:08:08.661 --> 00:08:20.781
So it doesn't matter like how much, like, because I feel like I've gone almost overboard with clark, letting her know that she doesn't have to be a perfectionist and it's okay to make mistakes.

00:08:21.223 --> 00:08:27.709
So I'm like holy day, like I really yeah really yeah, like I work, feel like I've worked really hard, so she doesn't have to feel that way.

00:08:27.709 --> 00:08:30.242
And she's still like this, like what am I doing wrong?

00:08:30.242 --> 00:08:33.091
And the girl was like a lot of it's genetic.

00:08:33.091 --> 00:08:34.375
She was like are you like this?

00:08:34.375 --> 00:08:35.100
And I was like yeah.

00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:36.725
She was like are your parents like this?

00:08:36.725 --> 00:08:42.832
And I was like yeah, she's like okay, some of it is just you have people pleasing genes.

00:08:42.832 --> 00:08:50.177
You have like you have genetics that just make you be hard on yourself, and I just found that really interesting.

00:08:50.197 --> 00:09:00.495
I'd like to do a little more research about it, but I found it If you were to, without knowing what the history is, if you were to zoom out and be like, okay, well, this is what it took to be part of a village or a tribe.

00:09:00.495 --> 00:09:11.491
The people like you or I that were really concerned about other people's welfare and showing up as a good worker were the reason that, like tribes, like that sustained shit got done.

00:09:11.673 --> 00:09:12.642
Is that what you're saying?

00:09:12.642 --> 00:09:15.148
It is, yeah, we're carrying them baskets on our head?

00:09:15.509 --> 00:09:17.942
yeah, without thinking twice, because hard work doesn't scare us.

00:09:17.942 --> 00:09:18.965
So we were.

00:09:18.965 --> 00:09:23.562
It makes sense that in evolution that actually was a gene that survived.

00:09:25.267 --> 00:09:25.889
I don't know.

00:09:26.269 --> 00:09:35.368
I don't know the research, but I like to you know, I like to get a little wily about the universe and I think that might be so interesting and totally not what we were going to talk about.

00:09:35.467 --> 00:09:40.469
But, again, most of our conversations are so organic but I mean, yeah, it's, it's super true.

00:09:40.469 --> 00:09:42.140
So, yeah, I found that, I found the issue.

00:09:42.140 --> 00:09:47.293
Well, I hate that they're going through that, but I mean I get it because they're your children and they want to be.

00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:54.990
Well, and if it's going to show up, I'd rather it show up when it's here and like, not, I'd rather start talking about it now than high school or college.

00:09:54.990 --> 00:10:27.129
Like, sometimes I think about even those social media conversations and I'm like I don't want to rush their childhood because so that's not my point and I'm sure somebody may misconstrue that but if we can start having back to, like what Kirsten said, the little parts of the conversation now, and we can start building those foundational blocks piece by piece, I just feel so much better about that journey after having that conversation with her and if that's what we're doing, great, even though it stresses me out a little bit, yeah for sure, oh my gosh.

00:10:27.129 --> 00:10:38.774
And then, like, so we had Christina on and we were also talked about boundaries and I ran into this again with another friend I had a bound deal.

00:10:39.140 --> 00:10:40.264
This is so crazy to me.

00:10:40.264 --> 00:10:41.005
What now?

00:10:41.005 --> 00:10:43.611
So I will give you the really zoomed out version.

00:10:43.611 --> 00:10:53.270
But this person is really upset that they weren't invited to fight night Like friendship ending upset.

00:10:53.270 --> 00:10:59.274
Seriously, no, I swear so and I'm not laughing at them, but I'm like okay.

00:10:59.274 --> 00:11:02.645
So I reached out to Christina and I send the text that I received.

00:11:02.645 --> 00:11:03.587
Oh my.

00:11:03.587 --> 00:11:04.691
God, you didn't send it to me.

00:11:04.691 --> 00:11:07.423
Well, I had to process it with my family therapist.

00:11:11.289 --> 00:11:12.111
Well, what am I?

00:11:12.111 --> 00:11:13.114
Am I nothing?

00:11:13.153 --> 00:11:13.474
to you.

00:11:13.474 --> 00:11:17.629
No, you know, I like I, you know I go in, so this is a two.

00:11:17.629 --> 00:11:18.873
This is a two part conversation.

00:11:18.873 --> 00:11:21.908
So she was I was like what is it me Like?

00:11:21.908 --> 00:11:22.249
What is?

00:11:22.328 --> 00:11:41.383
She was like, first of all, people who have been in your life before you started learning this, especially when you were really deep and harmony was important to you and you weren't drawing any boundaries and you were very much disassociating in order to protect yourself.

00:11:41.383 --> 00:11:44.912
Those people are going to be the most shocked at what's happening right now.

00:11:44.912 --> 00:11:53.042
She's like new you.

00:11:53.042 --> 00:11:54.746
Yeah Well, she's like it's just the next step because it's not like permanent.

00:11:54.746 --> 00:12:01.369
So this is what she said for a second, probably three to six months, it's going to feel like for those people, like they're going to come up, you're going to keep meeting this Cause.

00:12:01.369 --> 00:12:02.841
I was like why do I have to keep learning this lesson?

00:12:02.841 --> 00:12:04.383
And she was like you're not, though.

00:12:04.383 --> 00:12:09.269
Those people are going to keep hitting the wall and it's going to feel really intense for you.

00:12:09.269 --> 00:12:24.846
But then you will come through with the people who understand that this is Rebecca, with a few boundaries, and maybe they won't feel as extreme in a year and maybe you won't be as extreme about them, but it's your first time saying it and sometimes when you say things the first time, you kind of yell them.

00:12:25.267 --> 00:12:26.649
I was like okay.

00:12:26.649 --> 00:12:31.086
So it was like okay, I don't want to be in a situation where I'm like boundary, boundary, boundary, boundary.

00:12:31.086 --> 00:12:34.182
She was like you're fine, everything's fine.

00:12:34.182 --> 00:12:37.350
This person probably needed this and they haven't had it before.

00:12:37.350 --> 00:12:48.124
Again, nothing bad is happening here and I was like okay, but then I was like I'm doing this other thing that I think is really odd and I want you to talk to me about it.

00:12:48.124 --> 00:12:50.147
I have a hinge update.

00:12:50.147 --> 00:12:58.701
I haven't been using it and I haven't been.

00:12:58.701 --> 00:13:09.100
It's not because there's like a somebody I literally like my next thing has been like me in a not selfish way.

00:13:09.100 --> 00:13:10.322
Does this make sense?

00:13:10.322 --> 00:13:23.306
Like I was like enjoying talking to like different people and all of that, and now I feel like it feels a little bit claustrophobic, like noise, and I really just want to be by myself oh yeah, I.

00:13:23.886 --> 00:13:25.630
I feel this within my soul.

00:13:25.630 --> 00:13:30.432
I was like this most of my dating life so this is like newer, so I'm just like.

00:13:30.572 --> 00:13:40.922
So when I, every once in a while, log in out of habit and it's first of all red flag city, it's like just terrifying, it's so yeah, I mean some of the stuff you shared with me.

00:13:40.981 --> 00:13:50.812
It's been like run for the hills he's got so maybe lotion on its skin in his basement, I mean maybe that's like part of it.

00:13:50.912 --> 00:13:55.082
Every time I log in I'm like what in the world, ew?

00:13:55.082 --> 00:14:05.650
But like I had a friend the other day who was like oh, I have to go on a date, and I was like maybe I should ask him to bring a friend and I should bring you, and then that would make it safer for me, and I was like I'm not interested.

00:14:06.232 --> 00:14:09.826
Oh yeah, no it's a hard pass.

00:14:09.826 --> 00:14:17.629
I feel like I was like this, you know, back in my younger days, when I was dating, I feel like I definitely went through the period where it was like I loved having.

00:14:17.629 --> 00:14:19.539
I mean, honestly, it was the attention.

00:14:19.539 --> 00:14:21.625
Like I loved having male attention.

00:14:21.625 --> 00:14:25.253
It was like, oh, this is nice, somebody to flirt with, this is fun.

00:14:25.253 --> 00:14:33.071
But then when it came down to like the rubber, meeting, the road of like, actually like having to go on dates and like somebody saying, oh well, why didn't you text me?

00:14:33.071 --> 00:14:36.971
It would make me feel like Claustrophobic.

00:14:38.081 --> 00:14:38.884
Like smothered.

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:39.681
That's how.

00:14:39.681 --> 00:14:49.745
I feel and even in relationships like I'm like this, like truthfully, like with me and Nate we're dating, like we both like needed our alone time and I'm still like this.

00:14:49.745 --> 00:14:55.082
I'm like I love y'all so much but mama, mama needs a minute and I'm so.

00:14:55.082 --> 00:15:03.110
I'm still like that, cause I have those moments of just like I need a need a little space to just be me.

00:15:03.509 --> 00:15:04.130
And I don't.

00:15:04.611 --> 00:15:07.215
Yeah, so like I'm, I feel like I'm still like that.

00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:12.623
Well, and it's like weird Cause it's not now.

00:15:12.623 --> 00:15:26.495
It's not just like guys, it's like a friend being like oh, I felt like I wasn't included, or I feel like you didn't text me, or like I'm like I've had a full days where I barely talked to a soul now and I'm like I think I really need that space in my current journey.

00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:32.033
But I will say this I actually I'm okay.

00:15:32.033 --> 00:15:38.751
Here's the thing I actually am impressed that whoever this person has said something I would never have the balls to say that.

00:15:39.581 --> 00:15:40.121
They didn't.

00:15:40.121 --> 00:15:48.264
I actually said something to them complimentary about something I saw, and I actually said something to them complimentary about something I saw.

00:15:48.264 --> 00:15:48.605
They didn't know.

00:15:48.605 --> 00:15:51.708
Nope, I'm not going to give them that much credit, oh shit.

00:15:51.769 --> 00:15:56.895
Okay, that makes it worse then, cause I was like you know, I appreciate it, but I think it's all in how you frame it.

00:15:56.895 --> 00:16:01.842
It's like, hey man, like just did I do something to upset you.

00:16:01.842 --> 00:16:08.414
Like if it was like a nice conversation, like like I would do that with you, like if you didn't invite me to something, I'd be like Becca, like did I do something?

00:16:08.414 --> 00:16:09.716
What I mean, it's the two.

00:16:09.716 --> 00:16:12.183
I mean, come on, I'd be like why didn't you invite me?

00:16:12.183 --> 00:16:15.226
But like so what happened?

00:16:15.922 --> 00:16:31.221
So how did you find out she had something their life and so I was like, oh my gosh, are you like okay, do you need something?

00:16:31.221 --> 00:16:37.149
And it like fired off in this and like I don't have, I can't give the rest of the context.

00:16:37.149 --> 00:16:50.179
But I was like wait a minute, because it made me start thinking back on like how I showed up for this person in really big ways in the past and I was like actually you don't get to talk to me like that.

00:16:50.179 --> 00:16:53.144
Yeah, that's a hard, that's a hard no for me.

00:16:53.163 --> 00:16:54.785
I don't like that.

00:16:54.785 --> 00:16:58.240
I'm going to need you to give me more details offline, then I will Don't worry.

00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:11.917
But I did read a quote the other day and I'm going to totally butcher this, but basically the essence was like as you start establishing boundaries, the people who don't respect them are the people that you need them with the most.

00:17:11.917 --> 00:17:14.876
Yeah, that's what she said oh, was that, was that what?

00:17:15.659 --> 00:17:18.473
No, no, no, but what she said was different, but it's like that.

00:17:18.473 --> 00:17:20.641
All that tells me is the universe keeps repeating it to us.

00:17:20.641 --> 00:17:25.704
Like for sure it was, and I didn't purposely just include this person.

00:17:25.704 --> 00:17:41.403
It was an eight person table and we had two weeks to fill it and I actually didn't rush to fill it, I was super slow and thoughtful about it and ended up being a really good group, and that's not to say somebody else would have been bad for it, but like I don't know, it just wasn't.

00:17:41.403 --> 00:17:46.157
It's Charleston, everyone wants to be included and there's always stuff going on and I get it.

00:17:46.157 --> 00:17:47.821
But like it wasn't malicious.

00:17:47.970 --> 00:18:02.881
And so for also for it to be made to feel like I was being malicious when that's like literally not how I show up, yeah, but you know I'm a big fan, Like I always say that people who act like that are projecting how they would react or why they do stuff on you.

00:18:03.521 --> 00:18:07.752
So that's what I started thinking about and it took me down a rabbit hole and now I have a notes about it.

00:18:07.752 --> 00:18:10.134
Notes about it, Of course you do.

00:18:10.134 --> 00:18:42.506
Okay, so pivoting um to freedom and the 4th of July freedom to learn your own boundaries and your new path, and the 4th of July and red, white and blue Um, I was actually going to ask you like a question and then I started thinking about how we were talking about the tribe thing, but, like I always think of, like Betsy Ross and the flag and like the whole, like which villager would do you think you would have been Like, what are my options?

00:18:45.369 --> 00:18:47.333
I feel like I probably would have been the school teacher.

00:18:47.333 --> 00:18:52.641
I would have been like the cook or like the town jester, like I would be like comedian.

00:18:53.182 --> 00:18:55.805
I think that been like the cook or like the town jester, like I, would be like comedian.

00:18:55.805 --> 00:18:57.728
I think that's when we're in the castle era.

00:18:59.775 --> 00:19:02.123
There's a jester during the flag.

00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:10.109
I mean surely there had to be some kind of entertainment, right, I don't know.

00:19:10.109 --> 00:19:15.188
I mean I feel like we were like fighting for our birthday as a country, so I'm not really sure there was like much entertainment.

00:19:16.210 --> 00:19:19.076
I'm not a history buff, no me either.

00:19:19.076 --> 00:19:22.963
I know, okay, I'm going to say cook, let's just go with that, cause they had to eat.

00:19:22.963 --> 00:19:24.273
So that's a safe bet.

00:19:24.273 --> 00:19:31.483
Like the butter, baby, you're like with the butter, yeah, yeah, grown vegetables.

00:19:31.483 --> 00:19:32.944
I know the butter, butter, yeah, yeah, gross vegetables, I know.

00:19:32.944 --> 00:19:33.365
Now I don't know.

00:19:33.365 --> 00:19:39.253
I feel like the teacher might have been the single ace and I don't know if I would have been a teacher wait, a teacher I can, I will you.

00:19:39.575 --> 00:19:41.099
I cannot imagine you a teacher at all.

00:19:41.099 --> 00:19:46.075
I feel like you'd have been doing like some manly shit, like fucking, like.

00:19:46.075 --> 00:19:49.736
I think I would have been actually I think you'd have been like chopping wood.

00:19:49.736 --> 00:19:53.771
I won't be honest with you, or like repairing the wagons.

00:19:53.771 --> 00:19:58.662
Do they have wagons then why do you put me in such a manly category?

00:19:58.662 --> 00:20:01.435
You're so tough and you're a baddie like I, just like.

00:20:01.435 --> 00:20:03.480
You're a badass bitch and you're like get out of my way.

00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:04.936
You can't figure this shit out.

00:20:04.936 --> 00:20:06.001
I'll do it my damn self.

00:20:06.364 --> 00:20:11.977
I think I probably would have been doing something like strong for sure, like I love to farm, like dig a a, I'm a, I'm your girl.

00:20:11.977 --> 00:20:13.799
If you ever need to dig a hole, I'm your girl.

00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:18.413
I've dug a few I'm gonna tell nate that so he knows to stay in line I'm.

00:20:18.493 --> 00:20:20.238
I'll dig a hole for you all day.

00:20:20.238 --> 00:20:21.621
I'm so good at digging holes.

00:20:21.621 --> 00:20:22.849
Don't ask me how I know.

00:20:22.849 --> 00:20:23.671
I'm a new yorker.

00:20:23.671 --> 00:20:28.576
I know about holes, but I thought y'all just repeat people in the hudson.

00:20:28.576 --> 00:20:29.617
I thought that's what they did.

00:20:29.617 --> 00:20:30.880
We just put the bricks on their feet.

00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:31.259
No, I'm not.

00:20:31.259 --> 00:20:33.122
I didn't live by the hut and I lived out in the country.

00:20:33.122 --> 00:20:50.652
But what I can tell you is, if it was a mechanic situation like fixing the wagon probably not somewhere between digging a hole, but not mechanics okay, and like I said I, my first thought was you chopping wood I feel like I'd be really good at that.

00:20:51.094 --> 00:20:51.977
I think you would too.

00:20:51.977 --> 00:20:56.837
I'd be there for the boys, oh for sure so what do you?

00:20:56.837 --> 00:20:58.582
Do you have like any july?

00:20:58.903 --> 00:21:00.385
four things that you love.

00:21:00.385 --> 00:21:06.038
No, I mean traditions, fireworks, like are you, do you like, love it?

00:21:06.098 --> 00:21:12.460
no, I like love the fourth of july, but I don't like, I don't think it's a big, tradition-centric holiday for me.

00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:14.811
You know what I always think of.

00:21:14.811 --> 00:21:21.463
I think of the Sandlot, what I thought you were going to say Jennifer Coolidge.

00:21:21.463 --> 00:21:26.777
I am so unglued over that.

00:21:28.019 --> 00:21:29.221
I know that's why I said that.

00:21:29.221 --> 00:21:33.576
I thought you were going to say it makes me want a hot dog, real bad real bad.

00:21:35.596 --> 00:21:37.421
First of all, I love her anyways.

00:21:37.421 --> 00:21:41.219
Of course 4th of July makes me want a hot dog.

00:21:41.219 --> 00:21:42.635
Real bad.

00:21:42.635 --> 00:21:44.636
I just freaking that quote.

00:21:44.636 --> 00:21:47.954
I'm going to have to do a reel or something to it because I just can't let it go.

00:21:48.592 --> 00:21:51.750
I know it's so good, okay, so you don't do anything.

00:21:51.750 --> 00:21:52.700
I feel well, you know I do anything.

00:21:52.700 --> 00:21:53.650
I feel well, you know, I love it.

00:21:53.690 --> 00:21:56.440
I mean I do like pools, barbecues, like whatever.

00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:01.575
I have a couple of friends that have barbecues but it's like like growing up it wasn't necessarily like my parents' favorite.

00:22:01.575 --> 00:22:03.160
You know, like I love a firework.

00:22:07.394 --> 00:22:09.578
I feel like I love a theme.

00:22:09.578 --> 00:22:11.742
It doesn't matter what it is, I love a theme.

00:22:11.742 --> 00:22:15.773
Yes, live for a theme.

00:22:15.773 --> 00:22:19.779
And so July 4th, like I feel like I love making a big meal.

00:22:19.779 --> 00:22:27.011
I love having decorative dishes, I love having an American flag bathing suit, like oh my.

00:22:27.051 --> 00:22:28.073
God, this is good.

00:22:28.432 --> 00:22:29.354
I do Like.

00:22:29.354 --> 00:22:30.934
I mean you know this.

00:22:30.934 --> 00:22:35.318
I mean I make sure that my entire family has 4th of July garb, like we.

00:22:35.318 --> 00:22:38.721
I love a theme, I live for a theme.

00:22:38.741 --> 00:23:00.429
For example, this is where you and Whitney very much collide, because I'm 100% sure she's got a flag bikini, but like I would show up in a black bikini on accident and be like damn it, somebody should have told me, because I don't necessarily naturally think this way, I would definitely have told you.

00:23:00.449 --> 00:23:02.494
But so yesterday we had a thick speaking of things.

00:23:02.494 --> 00:23:19.115
We had a theme at my mother-in-law's she they are from versailles, ohio, which every year they have this thing called Poultry Days and it's this big like I mean it's basically like a parade, a carnival.

00:23:19.115 --> 00:23:34.103
It is a big festival that this town sells like chicken dinners, and so they smoke these chickens and they sell like thousands of these chicken dinners and I'm going to be honest with you, it's the best damn chicken I've had in my Well, I was just thinking.

00:23:34.282 --> 00:23:40.006
first of all, if it's something like that and you get in a styrofoam container, can I tell you how down I am?

00:23:40.006 --> 00:23:53.490
You can count on me, like if we are ever on a road trip and we drive by something like that pull your ass over.

00:23:53.510 --> 00:23:54.433
We are going to be two hours late.

00:23:54.433 --> 00:23:55.676
We are getting the styrofoam church dinner.

00:23:55.676 --> 00:23:57.601
When I was pregnant, I ate a full chicken there, Dude.

00:23:57.622 --> 00:23:58.743
I went hard and that chicken is good, I believe it.

00:23:58.763 --> 00:24:02.734
It's like a church dinner, it's a church dinner yes.

00:24:02.734 --> 00:24:08.315
It comes with like a bag of chips and this apple sauce and like a dinner roll, so anyway.

00:24:08.315 --> 00:24:15.650
So we have not been since Nate's grandparents are no longer with us, so we decided to recreate it here yesterday.

00:24:15.650 --> 00:24:18.799
So I had a shirts made, of course I did.

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:23.541
Shout out to Cuckoo Monkey and Mount Pleasant for doing these ridiculous shirts for me.

00:24:23.541 --> 00:24:25.738
We had Nate's aunt and uncle over.

00:24:25.738 --> 00:24:27.394
We played bingo.

00:24:27.413 --> 00:24:29.058
I love bingo.

00:24:29.058 --> 00:24:33.999
Dude, we should go to a bingo hall because I will embarrass us both.

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:47.712
you will embarrass us take a pack of cigarettes, though, because I feel like you need to smoke when you're at a bingo hall I don't smoke ever I don't either, but I feel like you need to when you're playing like a pack of cigarettes yeah, we'll just, we'll just like take them just in case can we bring candy cigarettes and just be like?

00:24:47.854 --> 00:25:11.576
oh yes, I like that idea better because I really don't like to smith you guys can be like out of our minds, like we should just do like the most, one of those like dabber things, like we're serious, we're getting a whole rainbow pack like let's get a knit bag, let's get a knit bag, let's just take it so far, amen we played bingo, we did um, we had like these plastic chickens that we did.

00:25:11.596 --> 00:25:20.221
We drew like a target and we had like a chicken flinging contest and then we did paint your own chicken.

00:25:20.221 --> 00:25:23.278
So everybody, it's kind of like the paint your partner thing.

00:25:23.278 --> 00:25:28.039
Everybody had their own canvas, we hid it from each other and everybody painted chickens.

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:37.157
And you know, after seeing my picture of nate like I feel like nobody had any hope for me, I freaking rocked it, your chickens.

00:25:37.558 --> 00:25:42.374
I have questions about the chicken in the back of mark's chicken.

00:25:42.374 --> 00:25:46.881
That thing is the thing that is nightmares are.

00:25:46.881 --> 00:25:49.184
Why does it have four feet?

00:25:49.184 --> 00:25:50.711
Why is it built like?

00:25:51.113 --> 00:25:55.123
he did it to be funny, but I think he just painted it really fast because he did not.

00:25:55.329 --> 00:26:05.313
I don't think he wanted to do this, so he was just like, I think he did blackout and then after he was like wait, that was a mistake, it has four chicken legs, like that thing.

00:26:05.313 --> 00:26:06.597
That thing is.

00:26:06.597 --> 00:26:11.693
I don't actually know if maybe he's forecasting the evolution of chickens, cause you know how people love a drumstick.

00:26:11.693 --> 00:26:15.301
Oh yeah, nothing's terrifying.

00:26:15.301 --> 00:26:17.873
All I just kept thinking of how many feet.

00:26:18.513 --> 00:26:19.096
I was really.

00:26:19.096 --> 00:26:32.362
So basically, I mean clark did really well, nate's mom did really well and I mean I think I took it, though I feel like I did a pretty damn no, I know, you're just something somebody would put on the wall of their kitchen and I named named him Fred because he looked like a Fred to me.

00:26:32.690 --> 00:26:33.775
And it looked like a mugshot.

00:26:34.330 --> 00:26:37.659
So I feel like Fred had a rough night and he, just he ended up.

00:26:37.659 --> 00:26:38.140
You know what?

00:26:39.932 --> 00:26:41.779
I felt like Fred just had like a lot of caffeine.

00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:50.323
He was like he knew that today was the day and he was like I'm getting jacked on the calf, like oh God, so yeah.

00:26:50.323 --> 00:26:57.375
So I like, oh god, so yeah, so I love a thing back to July 4th.

00:26:57.375 --> 00:27:00.824
No, I live for it, like I always think, like Sandlot, you know anything that makes me feel nostalgia?

00:27:00.845 --> 00:27:04.275
like I just, yeah, love, we're going back to it and that's me, I think that's what it is like.

00:27:04.275 --> 00:27:13.261
I, you know, I just I think like just hot days and ice cream, and you know, I remember being at friend's house when they did July 4th.

00:27:13.261 --> 00:27:16.154
They would use the ice cream maker, which we had an ice cream maker.

00:27:16.194 --> 00:27:20.361
growing up we had a pool maker and we definitely like.

00:27:21.750 --> 00:27:25.454
We bought an ice cream maker because Nate and I were convinced that we wanted to make ice cream.

00:27:25.454 --> 00:27:31.652
And then we like went in the grocery store and it was like holy shit, we've got to spend like $70 on cream.

00:27:32.291 --> 00:27:36.714
And like salt and like there's all this other stuff that goes into like yeah.

00:27:36.775 --> 00:27:39.196
I know, Can you just get the buy one?

00:27:39.196 --> 00:27:42.077
Get one of the like briars.

00:27:42.219 --> 00:27:43.700
Every time I try to make my own.

00:27:43.700 --> 00:27:46.781
Anything, every single time, could be a Pinterest craft.

00:27:46.781 --> 00:27:55.707
I might as well just bought it for the $22, because I will spend $80 trying to make something and butcher it and then still have to go and get it.

00:27:55.707 --> 00:28:01.244
That's why I don't do that.

00:28:01.244 --> 00:28:12.903
I don't know if it's like nostalgia for you, but like very summery things Stopped at Boone Hall this week and at Willie's Farm Market.

00:28:13.710 --> 00:28:14.692
I have a reel that I made for one of our clients.

00:28:14.692 --> 00:28:15.996
Actually, actually, I need you to look over about that, okay, sorry.

00:28:16.016 --> 00:28:18.041
Well, so I know I'm a big tomato connoisseur, like I'm.

00:28:18.041 --> 00:28:21.076
Get real tomatoes are my favorite.

00:28:21.076 --> 00:28:21.916
I'm obsessed.

00:28:21.916 --> 00:28:32.771
Um, their tomatoes are back for you pick and their sunflowers have popped, so it's so pretty when you oh my god, all the instagram influencers are going to be in them taking pictures.

00:28:32.791 --> 00:28:33.493
You know how pretty it is.

00:28:33.513 --> 00:28:43.239
you like drive by it forever and they're like they grow so fast and then it's green and then all of a sudden, one day it's just the sea of yellow, and then it's gone so fast too.

00:28:43.239 --> 00:28:48.074
It's one of those pilot and I went while summit was at gymnastics and a thunderstorm was rolling in.

00:28:48.074 --> 00:28:54.192
So it's like pink skies, gray skies, all this yellow, and I was like this is.

00:28:54.192 --> 00:29:06.721
I saw this reel the other day that was talking about finding romance in everything and I don't know if anything made me feel more seen Like just lately.

00:29:06.721 --> 00:29:13.781
I feel like my cups of coffee are like so good, my tomatoes are so good, like I don't know.

00:29:13.781 --> 00:29:17.097
Like I feel big emotions about some things, but not like sad.

00:29:17.097 --> 00:29:24.222
I just feel like I like this idea of everything kind of feeling like romance, even if it's like snuggling on the couch.

00:29:24.222 --> 00:29:25.911
I feel that.

00:29:27.193 --> 00:29:28.777
Right, I have a theory.

00:29:28.777 --> 00:29:29.880
What is it?

00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.635
I think you're finding your peace because I feel like that's what peace feels like.

00:29:33.635 --> 00:29:36.648
Okay, I am here for finding my peace Because I'm like that.

00:29:36.648 --> 00:29:41.567
I feel like, since I have I'm going to call it my midlife awakening.

00:29:42.229 --> 00:29:42.329
Yeah.

00:29:42.390 --> 00:29:43.434
Because I feel like that's what it is.

00:29:43.434 --> 00:29:44.915
I definitely am the same way.

00:29:44.915 --> 00:29:48.580
I feel very content.

00:29:48.580 --> 00:29:58.121
It's a sunset, it's driving home with the window down and a good song, it's a good glass of wine, it's a good giggle with you, it's a good dance.

00:29:58.121 --> 00:30:04.638
It's just like I just feel so, just super lord.

00:30:04.638 --> 00:30:07.242
It's gonna make me tear up, just very grateful.

00:30:07.242 --> 00:30:08.085
So I feel like that.

00:30:08.085 --> 00:30:08.971
That comes from.

00:30:08.971 --> 00:30:10.775
That comes from peace.

00:30:10.775 --> 00:30:14.583
So I feel like, feel like you're finding your peace when you haven't had it in a long time.

00:30:15.549 --> 00:30:16.172
I definitely.

00:30:16.172 --> 00:30:25.220
I think you're onto something, because it's like even like I'm going to say this and people are going to laugh, but like sip a Diet Coke, I'm like, damn, that feels good, it could be anything.

00:30:27.692 --> 00:30:33.981
I mean, I feel that in my soul I'm definitely it's so Damn, it's so good, it's so good.

00:30:35.631 --> 00:30:43.076
But it could be like I mean, I'm like I find myself like hugging my friends more I find myself really leaning into.

00:30:43.076 --> 00:30:44.400
I posted this reel today.

00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:46.173
I'll actually post it on the podcast thing about.

00:30:46.173 --> 00:30:52.057
It's actually about friendships and it was so good, right.

00:30:52.057 --> 00:31:14.594
So it's like this idea that we're kind of taught as men and women to like look for love in a partner and you can actually find this platonic, deep love in your girlfriends and no one's talking about it and you and I started talking about this months ago when we were talking about girls nights and making time and sleepovers and we've kind of been leading up to this idea for a while.

00:31:16.396 --> 00:31:18.540
But that reel really resonated with me.

00:31:18.540 --> 00:31:21.290
I felt it in such a big way.

00:31:21.290 --> 00:31:27.723
I just feel like when I even swim meets, I get to spend time like sure, if you want to be.

00:31:27.723 --> 00:31:29.153
Whatever about it.

00:31:29.153 --> 00:31:34.798
There's certainly parents that are like miserable the whole time, but I'm like man, I'm with some of my favorite people.

00:31:34.798 --> 00:31:54.016
I'm watching my kids have these super valuable relationships with their coach, Super like they are literally for four hours just cracked out on pizza and candy, competing, randomly, dancing on the side of the pool, just like being their little weird selves, and I'm like I cannot help but see like the romance in it.

00:31:54.570 --> 00:31:57.733
I know it's, it's core memories, man, and I love that for you.

00:31:57.733 --> 00:32:02.076
I love that for you Cause just my how far you've come since January.

00:32:02.296 --> 00:32:06.096
It's just it's so great and like people can disturb it.

00:32:06.096 --> 00:32:06.577
Right now.

00:32:06.577 --> 00:32:10.919
I feel like I'm just like I'm not going to be dismissive, but no.

00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:12.761
Yeah, I definitely.

00:32:12.761 --> 00:32:14.151
I mean, you know how I feel about that.

00:32:14.151 --> 00:32:22.913
I'm a, I need cup fillers, I don't need anybody draining me, I don't need one for like a little bit there, like without saying too much.

00:32:23.252 --> 00:32:55.015
But I'm going to be honest, begged somebody to love me and I will not do that again, not with a friend, nor should you, nor should you For sure, but like in this, when that text hit, my first reaction was like okay, like I know how I would have shown up a year ago and I was like we're definitely just no.

00:32:55.015 --> 00:32:58.160
Like, if that's your feelings, I understand.

00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:00.676
Everybody is welcome to their feelings.

00:33:00.676 --> 00:33:11.321
I'm not going to do the thing that I did, because every time I've done it, I've sold a piece of me and I'm I have worked too hard to pull all those things back together.

00:33:11.321 --> 00:33:13.155
It's just a no for me.

00:33:13.890 --> 00:33:16.799
Yeah, no, I, I am with you a hundred percent.

00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:18.477
I don't think you need to do that.

00:33:18.477 --> 00:33:25.355
I mean I, you know, I think it's great to have friends, but I mean people grow apart, and that's okay.

00:33:25.990 --> 00:33:30.521
Well, like it just didn't have to, there's no reason why this had to be that.

00:33:31.411 --> 00:33:33.397
Like I'm sure it was nothing to do with you.

00:33:33.397 --> 00:33:36.176
Truthfully, it was just some kind of projection.

00:33:36.176 --> 00:33:40.961
But again, I also don't like people handling things in shitty ways either.

00:33:40.961 --> 00:33:52.390
There's a way to have that conversation where it's like, hey, like you kind of hurt my feelings, can we just talk through it, cause I feel like you're that kind of person Like and I don't really do that.

00:33:52.529 --> 00:33:58.750
I'm Southern, I don't do confrontation very well, but you know, I think there's a way to say hey, you hurt my feelings.

00:33:58.750 --> 00:34:02.076
Have I done something to make you not include me?

00:34:02.076 --> 00:34:06.951
Like yeah, I think that's a lot easier to say instead of sending a shitty text.

00:34:07.092 --> 00:34:19.246
I mean like I don't know, and it just like I just am in this very much where I'm like it's okay if, like, I make you mad, or it's okay Like I'm never trying to.

00:34:19.246 --> 00:34:29.431
Like I know, in my heart right now I'm just literally so set on feeling peace and like anything that feels like a cost to that.

00:34:29.431 --> 00:34:35.077
I'm questioning because I'm just like I already gave it up, Like I just I don't.

00:34:35.177 --> 00:34:38.090
I love that for you and I think you should continue rocking it.

00:34:38.612 --> 00:34:39.175
I love that.

00:34:39.175 --> 00:34:48.489
I'm like, maybe at the boat, maybe I went like a little sideways for it, maybe I will like to what Christina said for a hot second and maybe it'll be more upright next spring.

00:34:48.489 --> 00:34:54.320
But I'm like, if that's, the worst that happens is, I'm like you are allowed to believe what you believe about me and that's okay.

00:34:54.320 --> 00:35:03.367
It's not the end of the world, nope, nope, I'm not going to do anything mean about it, I'm not going to be destructive, I just okay.

00:35:03.367 --> 00:35:07.958
Sure, I don't know.

00:35:07.958 --> 00:35:16.592
I will tell you this, though I haven't had a McDonald's cheeseburger in like two and a half weeks.

00:35:16.592 --> 00:35:25.074
I know, I don't know why, but I started thinking about it yesterday and I've just been getting diet Cokes and then milkshakes for the girls.

00:35:25.074 --> 00:35:27.626
I don't think it's working for me.

00:35:27.626 --> 00:35:33.298
That breakup is not good, so I have every intention of hitting it hard next week.

00:35:35.505 --> 00:35:37.233
When's the last time I had a McDonald's cheeseburger?

00:35:37.233 --> 00:35:39.291
It's been that day.

00:35:39.291 --> 00:35:44.030
I sent you a picture, so I mean it's been a bit I want to say like you know, I was getting like three a week.

00:35:44.230 --> 00:35:45.094
I still see my boy.

00:35:48.945 --> 00:35:51.152
That's an American brand, McDonald's.

00:35:51.152 --> 00:35:54.784
That makes me think of America McDonald's does we should?

00:35:55.065 --> 00:35:58.414
we really need to share their story more, like this whole idea.

00:35:58.434 --> 00:36:00.097
I know you know I tried to get.

00:36:00.097 --> 00:36:04.367
I've been looking for somebody to get on the podcast from McDonald's marketing department true story.

00:36:04.367 --> 00:36:07.394
I did some research about it on LinkedIn well, because we have.

00:36:07.434 --> 00:36:12.268
We saw this thing about even like how the arches were, this like flag like.

00:36:12.268 --> 00:36:13.791
From a marketing perspective.

00:36:14.634 --> 00:36:19.427
It's brilliant yeah no, it's brilliant, it's really interesting.

00:36:19.427 --> 00:36:21.192
So I've not given up hope yet.

00:36:21.192 --> 00:36:22.255
I have not given up hope.

00:36:22.255 --> 00:36:23.846
Actually, I'm going to manifest it right now.

00:36:23.846 --> 00:36:31.177
We will have somebody from McDonald's marketing team on the podcast in 2024.

00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:32.719
Absolutely.

00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:34.210
I cannot wait to speak to them.

00:36:34.210 --> 00:36:36.693
It's going to be such a good conversation.

00:36:37.585 --> 00:36:41.436
I mean they're going to be really excited to hear about your love of their cheeseburgers.

00:36:43.226 --> 00:36:45.213
Their cheeseburgers, their team.

00:36:45.213 --> 00:36:47.914
I'm obsessed, you're obsessed.

00:36:48.586 --> 00:36:59.769
It's not killing me, not to go we cannot get off of this podcast and recording today without talking about the real that you convinced me, but it was not a real.

00:36:59.769 --> 00:37:02.112
To be clear, we were two girlfriends.

00:37:02.304 --> 00:37:06.699
I know it's important to set this, because we made a video.

00:37:06.699 --> 00:37:09.853
Did you see my niece commenting who is this?

00:37:09.853 --> 00:37:13.525
But then I clicked on their profile picture and they were young, so I was like I need to keep my comments.

00:37:13.865 --> 00:37:16.108
One of my sweet nieces shout out to Chloe.

00:37:16.108 --> 00:37:19.655
She was like aunt Jenny, you're doing reels.

00:37:19.655 --> 00:37:20.436
I'm like hell.

00:37:20.436 --> 00:37:22.059
No, chloe, no, I'm not.

00:37:22.726 --> 00:37:24.188
I had to sleep over a video.

00:37:24.188 --> 00:37:39.679
We made the video for Christina who, by the way, texted me last night with another harebrained scheme which I'm like, so excited about for like a mini girls trip for her and I, and she is actually with her sister, right now at a winery for the weekend.

00:37:39.699 --> 00:37:40.603
I feel like they're having the best time.

00:37:40.603 --> 00:37:41.184
I'm so jelly.

00:37:41.184 --> 00:37:42.347
So when I got the text.

00:37:42.427 --> 00:37:48.835
At like nine o'clock last night I was like, ooh, we've been in the wine, like I'm here for this, like, yes, I love a drunk plan.

00:37:49.295 --> 00:38:07.291
I live for a tipsy plan, so I yes, we made the video for Christina because we love her and we were figuring out this whole karaoke thing, and then you found the perfect song and then we decided to make the video and there was this subsection that when we cause, there actually is.

00:38:07.291 --> 00:38:10.518
We did the entire song, let it be known.

00:38:10.518 --> 00:38:16.574
There is a second video that we are never sharing, but there is a second video that just Tina got.

00:38:18.606 --> 00:38:19.269
Nate got it too.

00:38:19.269 --> 00:38:22.153
I think I sent it to my dad too, your friend.

00:38:23.905 --> 00:38:25.289
I think I sent it to.

00:38:25.289 --> 00:38:27.534
I think I maybe sent it to, oh, you know who?

00:38:27.534 --> 00:38:40.954
I sent it to my cousin Amanda, the one who's been like blowing us up, the one who said that she was dying over mustache logic, and I literally shit my pants because I was like what did I say about mustaches?

00:38:41.014 --> 00:38:45.637
Because it could have been anything knowing me, we were talking about mustaches and periods.

00:38:46.125 --> 00:38:49.012
Periods, I know, but for a second did you see?

00:38:49.012 --> 00:38:49.373
I wrote.

00:38:49.373 --> 00:38:50.275
I was like what did I say?

00:38:50.275 --> 00:38:50.856
What did I say?

00:38:50.856 --> 00:39:00.532
Because if it's a mustache or a beard, like I'm you, I don't know why I'm like this, but I love it so much.

00:39:01.275 --> 00:39:02.507
No, you're good it was.

00:39:02.507 --> 00:39:03.311
That was a clean.

00:39:03.311 --> 00:39:04.945
We did not edit any of that part out.

00:39:04.945 --> 00:39:11.447
I panicked, oh listen, cause Nate, he panicked.

00:39:11.447 --> 00:39:13.335
Oh listen, because, nate he, when he asked him if he listened to the episode, he was like, yeah.

00:39:13.335 --> 00:39:14.380
He was like did you forget to edit out that part?

00:39:14.380 --> 00:39:14.882
I'm like what part?

00:39:14.882 --> 00:39:15.505
And I got like real nervous.

00:39:15.505 --> 00:39:19.755
He was like the part about gravity and I'm like what did I say?

00:39:19.755 --> 00:39:22.168
He's like you were talking about old man's balls.

00:39:22.168 --> 00:39:23.512
I'm like, oh my god.

00:39:23.512 --> 00:39:26.262
I'm like, no, we meant to leave that in there.

00:39:28.726 --> 00:39:30.630
pavan is like so in love.

00:39:30.650 --> 00:39:33.456
Oh, shout out shout out to Pavan, our producer.

00:39:33.456 --> 00:39:34.827
He's having to have.

00:39:34.827 --> 00:39:36.952
He's like what do you ladies talk about?

00:39:37.052 --> 00:39:39.657
It's just we just like it's very.

00:39:39.657 --> 00:39:43.835
People do not understand how unedited these conversations are.

00:39:43.835 --> 00:39:51.248
We literally are like pick a topic or we will start talking about something and just be like stop, we are going to continue this on air.

00:39:51.248 --> 00:40:00.606
And we literally like leave it as if it were a bomb and we have to wait for the bomb people to come and like what are those people called TSA?

00:40:00.606 --> 00:40:01.751
What are the bomb people?

00:40:01.771 --> 00:40:06.750
No, it's um it's like for planes.

00:40:06.750 --> 00:40:09.898
Oh my God, it's going to drive me crazy.

00:40:09.898 --> 00:40:11.161
I know where you're going.

00:40:11.161 --> 00:40:12.804
Like the bombs.

00:40:12.965 --> 00:40:19.210
I think there's like another like ATF, an acronym right For like it's like ATF, isn't it?

00:40:19.210 --> 00:40:24.911
This is how I understand how the Jessica Simpson chicken of the sea thing happened.

00:40:25.692 --> 00:40:28.936
Oh yeah, it's not, yes, atf, oh no.

00:40:28.936 --> 00:40:30.217
Oh yeah, it's not yes, atf, oh no.

00:40:30.217 --> 00:40:33.661
Wait, that's alcohol, tobacco and firearms and explosives.

00:40:39.804 --> 00:40:51.867
Yeah, that's good, that's right, okay, well, sometimes we leave it as if we're waiting for the squad to come and then we reopen the package in a more appropriate environment, which apparently is on the air, and I understand that most people don't live their life this way, but the two of us do.

00:40:52.528 --> 00:41:02.436
Yeah, no, we, like I said honestly that one little comment that we edited out of the finale is the only editing we've ever done this entire podcast.

00:41:05.266 --> 00:41:17.135
And there's going to be a day where we are on stage in the next year and somebody asks us what it was, and we are going to have to come clean that is fine, I think not today.

00:41:17.416 --> 00:41:18.965
It's just not today, you like how?

00:41:18.965 --> 00:41:19.226
I just?

00:41:19.226 --> 00:41:24.050
I mean, when I mentioned I told nate I'd let him listen to the one episode that we have completely scrapped.

00:41:24.050 --> 00:41:28.851
He hasn't listened to it yet, but he'll probably be like oh yeah, I don't know if y'all are ready for all that.

00:41:29.597 --> 00:41:32.168
No, but do you like how I just manifested that we're going to be on stage?

00:41:32.911 --> 00:41:41.291
Yeah, I heard you and I believe with you, marketing and Mayhem Live.

00:41:41.291 --> 00:41:46.375
We're going to have to just change it to Mayhem Live soon if we don't start talking to more marketing.

00:41:46.625 --> 00:41:49.927
We probably are, but I still like where we're going.

00:41:49.927 --> 00:41:52.552
I think this is important I love where we're going.

00:41:54.315 --> 00:41:57.423
All right well, I've got to go eat some hamburgers.

00:41:57.824 --> 00:42:00.289
I want to see pictures of all of the food.

00:42:00.289 --> 00:42:02.494
So I don't have the girls.

00:42:02.494 --> 00:42:07.132
I don't have the girls in the fourth, but I will be meeting up with them at two different friends houses.

00:42:07.132 --> 00:42:17.972
Um, we have a group that where like one has a pool, so we'll start there during the day and then we're going back to nicole's because she lives right on the and so we'll be able to see all the fireworks.

00:42:17.972 --> 00:42:19.878
Pembroke isn't doing firework.

00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:26.050
Yes, we, we are going to just pull it and firework it and eat.

00:42:26.050 --> 00:42:28.875
I have a local, of course I do.

00:42:28.875 --> 00:42:33.146
I have a local charcuterie girl here that I use every time I'm in florida.

00:42:33.146 --> 00:42:36.313
Yeah, her, her company is called partinis by jen.

00:42:36.313 --> 00:42:37.996
She does an amazing job.

00:42:37.996 --> 00:42:49.217
So she's doing me like a fourth of july charcuterie board, so I'll definitely post that and tag her because she does this is like the fifth or sixth maybe more than that board that she's done for me.

00:42:49.217 --> 00:42:50.148
She does such a great job.

00:42:50.389 --> 00:42:51.293
Oh my God, I love that.

00:42:51.293 --> 00:42:53.269
We'll definitely tag her in the thing.

00:42:53.269 --> 00:42:54.713
But, yeah, let's, definitely let's.

00:42:54.713 --> 00:42:59.849
I mean we might not share a million firework photos, but you guys can tag us in whatever.

00:42:59.849 --> 00:43:02.356

00:43:02.356 --> 00:43:02.936
