WEBVTT
00:00:10.545 --> 00:00:11.826
We're back.
00:00:11.826 --> 00:00:15.247
Well, let's talk about this really quick.
00:00:15.247 --> 00:00:21.911
It is Tuesday on the 7th of May.
00:00:22.492 --> 00:00:33.198
Yep and we're recording for the Drop Thursday which is less than 48 hours from now to be clear, unprecedented.
00:00:33.299 --> 00:00:36.130
This is not how we do things.
00:00:36.219 --> 00:00:37.783
This is the first time this has happened.
00:00:37.783 --> 00:00:41.069
In the entire time we've been doing this, yep, yep.
00:00:41.710 --> 00:00:42.231
True story.
00:00:42.231 --> 00:00:43.694
True story.
00:00:43.694 --> 00:00:45.981
We had a podcast for you guys.
00:00:45.981 --> 00:00:46.841
We had it.
00:00:46.841 --> 00:00:48.984
We recorded it last week.
00:00:48.984 --> 00:00:54.468
We were so excited to share it and such is life we shared failure.
00:00:54.468 --> 00:00:59.171
A few episodes ago Happened again.
00:00:59.432 --> 00:01:05.516
Computer had horrible audio and I'm not convinced it's actually your fault.
00:01:05.516 --> 00:01:05.956
I'm not.
00:01:06.417 --> 00:01:06.938
I sound like.
00:01:07.018 --> 00:01:09.465
I was on the toilet like 100%.
00:01:09.465 --> 00:01:11.209
Oh my god, like it sounded.
00:01:11.209 --> 00:01:22.504
Like I was in the bathroom with the door shut like on the john, and I was like we cannot hear this, we can't, and so but we were so excited because we actually had our kids on.
00:01:22.525 --> 00:01:24.429
No, it was so, it was so cute.
00:01:24.429 --> 00:01:41.385
So we're having like the mom guilt, like the heartbreak of it, because and obviously we're going to rerecord it but we had this whole idea for, like Mother's Day and the kids are so curious about the podcast so we're like we'll get them involved and we asked them questions like the stuff that you would see on Mother's Day, like cards and stuff.
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:49.045
And it was so funny it was, it was so cute y'all I'm just I'm heartbroken that it didn't work out.
00:01:49.045 --> 00:01:49.365
Really it was.
00:01:49.385 --> 00:01:55.234
They were so excited and should we share some of the stuff they said, because next time it's going to be completely different.
00:01:55.254 --> 00:01:56.962
Like I, feel like you should give like your topic.
00:01:57.304 --> 00:02:01.564
Yeah, okay so what's your favorite thing that clark said about you, or three?
00:02:01.584 --> 00:02:02.567
things okay.
00:02:02.567 --> 00:02:04.274
Yeah, let me go back to the questions we asked them.
00:02:04.274 --> 00:02:05.137
Um.
00:02:05.137 --> 00:02:09.671
So one of the questions we asked him was what is your favorite thing to do with your mom?
00:02:10.394 --> 00:02:15.887
and clark's answer was snuggle it was so sweet, she was so proud to say it too.
00:02:15.926 --> 00:02:20.222
She really meant it, she did and I am one hell of a snuggler.
00:02:20.222 --> 00:02:21.104
I'm gonna be honest with you.
00:02:21.123 --> 00:02:23.591
I'm pretty good I know her little face.
00:02:23.591 --> 00:02:27.751
When I said you slept over in my bed and you snuggled, I was like wait, maybe I shouldn't have said that.
00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:32.843
What was your favorite thing?
00:02:32.843 --> 00:02:35.852
Your girls were all one that day.
00:02:36.760 --> 00:02:37.502
You know what I think it is.
00:02:37.502 --> 00:02:38.123
They like got it.
00:02:38.123 --> 00:02:40.752
You give a gymnast a stage and she's like boom.
00:02:40.752 --> 00:02:44.308
So one of the questions was like what's your mom really bad at?
00:02:44.308 --> 00:02:46.483
And summit was like I got, I got it.
00:02:46.483 --> 00:02:52.508
I got it like she wanted to answer because obviously the two of them, and she said, is singing and driving.
00:02:52.508 --> 00:03:03.661
And I'll have, you know, the driving thing, I'm a very self-aware driver, but the singing thing, I sing a lot and I was I don't know now like if that's okay, I'm concerned.
00:03:03.700 --> 00:03:05.205
But to be clear she, I mean she did not to be clear.
00:03:05.205 --> 00:03:07.090
She, I mean she did not hesitate.
00:03:07.090 --> 00:03:08.072
She was like I got one.
00:03:08.072 --> 00:03:11.855
I mean she did not miss a beat.
00:03:11.855 --> 00:03:13.725
No, she was like driving.
00:03:13.725 --> 00:03:14.681
I'm like you know what, simon?
00:03:14.681 --> 00:03:15.304
I agree with that.
00:03:16.347 --> 00:03:28.542
A hundred percent I shouldn't be and like the singing thing, that took me by surprise because I don't think I'm like Taylor Swift, but I feel like I can get us through like church and maybe a couple country songs, but apparently not.
00:03:28.984 --> 00:03:29.466
Apparently.
00:03:29.466 --> 00:03:31.567
Your daughter's been judging you her entire life.
00:03:32.681 --> 00:03:34.348
How about favorite memories.
00:03:34.348 --> 00:03:36.883
You go first because yours was hysterical.
00:03:37.907 --> 00:03:39.887
And I think this begs a bigger conversation.
00:03:39.887 --> 00:03:44.925
So like, okay, someone tell you Clark's answer first and then we can talk about the lesson that I learned from.
00:03:44.925 --> 00:03:47.419
To tell you Clark's answer first and then we can talk about the lesson that I learned from it.
00:03:47.419 --> 00:03:53.490
So Clark's answer was was it the favorite core memory or was it the?
00:03:53.490 --> 00:03:54.731
No, it was core memory.
00:03:54.752 --> 00:03:56.014
I think it was core memory.
00:03:56.014 --> 00:03:59.135
Are you talking about the skipping on the sidewalk, the chicken?
00:03:59.277 --> 00:04:00.242
Okay, so yeah.
00:04:00.242 --> 00:04:01.527
So Clark and I were coming.
00:04:01.527 --> 00:04:11.527
We we often buy a rotisserie chicken from Publix Shout out to the Moho and one day I was carrying it.
00:04:11.527 --> 00:04:17.829
We had just gotten home and I was carrying it down our sidewalk to come in the house and it fell out the bottom of the bag.
00:04:17.829 --> 00:04:28.471
So like the whole rotisserie chicken is just like chilling on the ground and I'm like, well, shit, that was our dinner Right.
00:04:28.471 --> 00:04:31.165
Well, I'm picking it up.
00:04:31.165 --> 00:04:34.711
I'm like I'll just pick the skin off, no big deal, we were all fine.
00:04:34.711 --> 00:04:36.548
But the dog came out.
00:04:36.548 --> 00:04:43.483
It was like eating the sidewalk to get the chicken remnants and she thought it was.
00:04:43.483 --> 00:04:45.089
I'm like that was a core memory for her.
00:04:45.089 --> 00:04:46.526
This was like three years ago.
00:04:46.526 --> 00:05:01.646
It's crazy to me that, like something that I may have considered, quote unquote, like a failure, even though I just dropped a chicken Like she, she, that's a core memory for her because she thought it was hilarious.
00:05:02.247 --> 00:05:10.764
Have you seen the reel where the dad and the mom talk about their spring break and they I mean they freaking killed it Like they took them to Disney.
00:05:10.764 --> 00:05:19.290
And then there was like some random Crayola factory and they did like 9,000 things in seven days and at the end they were like what's your favorite memory?
00:05:19.290 --> 00:05:21.060
And the kids all started laughing.
00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:29.733
And on the very first day the dad had too much in his hands and he fell down the stairs and that was their favorite memory of the.
00:05:29.733 --> 00:05:36.307
They must've spent $10,000 on their spring break and him eating on the stairs was there.
00:05:37.209 --> 00:05:38.591
So what is this Cause?
00:05:38.591 --> 00:05:53.149
Like, I feel like I'm definitely like, oh, I have to make everything magical and like, all of these things made up, right and like, but she remembers the chicken drops and the snuggles.
00:05:53.149 --> 00:05:58.865
So, like, I think we should talk about that Like we overcomplicate everything.
00:06:00.290 --> 00:06:01.759
Wait, do you want really quick?
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:03.266
Do you remember what my girl said?
00:06:03.266 --> 00:06:06.028
They're, one of their favorite memories is of me.
00:06:06.028 --> 00:06:08.065
Was it snowman soup?
00:06:08.065 --> 00:06:12.129
That was something I make really well.
00:06:12.699 --> 00:06:13.766
That was the cutest thing ever.
00:06:14.108 --> 00:06:15.321
That was the cutest thing you know.
00:06:15.321 --> 00:06:18.690
It's like evolved into this like whole obsessive process.
00:06:18.690 --> 00:06:20.788
So snowman soup is really beef stew.
00:06:20.788 --> 00:06:38.226
But I like use baby carrots cause I have little kids and so like if there's really skinny ones I just drop them straight in, cause it's funny, it's like finding a nose, and then I don't use big potatoes, I use the little ones and I slice them up thin so they're circles still and like it's a whole thing.
00:06:38.226 --> 00:06:41.242
It's some it's like favorite meal ever other than chicken piccata.
00:06:41.242 --> 00:06:47.995
But no, she said that me lighting easy mac on cheese three times.
00:06:47.995 --> 00:06:49.884
It's like an event in our house.
00:06:49.884 --> 00:06:52.370
So obviously she's waiting for me to do it again.
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:53.701
But isn't that?
00:06:53.783 --> 00:07:01.711
cute though the fact that I've done it three times, the fact that it's now like yes, she did it again.
00:07:01.711 --> 00:07:02.733
Britney.
00:07:02.754 --> 00:07:03.254
Spears.
00:07:03.254 --> 00:07:05.307
I know I love it.
00:07:05.307 --> 00:07:06.625
We've got to post some.
00:07:06.625 --> 00:07:16.723
So I snapped a couple of pictures after we were done with the podcast and Summit's face up near the camera Y'all.
00:07:16.723 --> 00:07:18.468
We'll post them because they are that funny.
00:07:18.468 --> 00:07:23.848
But I mean, this kid, she is great, she's baby raccoon, baby raccoon, she is.
00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:32.829
For sure, and you know she just lives for me doing like she laughs so hard when life is like I'm just.
00:07:32.829 --> 00:07:35.194
I think they just like us being real.
00:07:35.194 --> 00:07:35.841
I don't.
00:07:35.841 --> 00:07:40.310
I think they enjoy doing stuff and being busy, but it's not.
00:07:40.310 --> 00:07:44.142
I think the more real we are, the more they get a kick out of it.
00:07:44.502 --> 00:07:53.180
I know, and I love that because I think that they're still finding their way as to what failure is and what failure looks like.
00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:58.209
We're finding our way with that, for sure, but like what a response to it should be.
00:07:58.209 --> 00:08:00.728
I think they're learning all of that from us.
00:08:00.728 --> 00:08:09.468
So, like I mean, I screw up on the rag and you now I'm just like, oh, you know, whoops, mom forgot that, you know.
00:08:09.468 --> 00:08:15.785
And she like pats me on the back oh, it's okay, like nobody's perfect, it's fine, not that big of a deal.
00:08:15.785 --> 00:08:17.788
What did she tell me last night?
00:08:17.788 --> 00:08:20.562
I know it was this morning, while we were getting ready for school.
00:08:20.562 --> 00:08:22.026
I was like frazzled she was.
00:08:22.026 --> 00:08:22.949
She touched my arm.
00:08:22.949 --> 00:08:25.543
She was like I know, you just got back from girls weekend.
00:08:25.543 --> 00:08:26.483
Just take, take it easy.
00:08:26.483 --> 00:08:27.766
Just take it easy, don't stress.
00:08:27.766 --> 00:08:34.546
Today I'm like she's my biggest cheerleader and I'm here for it.
00:08:34.546 --> 00:08:37.496
Her and Nate, I love it Like pilot will.
00:08:37.596 --> 00:08:44.352
pilot struggles more with perfectionism, um, and everything being right and perfect and having the same as everyone.
00:08:44.352 --> 00:08:45.302
Summit doesn't have that.
00:08:45.363 --> 00:08:46.525
That's Clark.
00:08:46.525 --> 00:08:48.390
It's that first child, though, I'm telling you.
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.413
Summit doesn't have a bone of that in her body at all.
00:08:52.413 --> 00:08:59.495
But so I was talking to my mom earlier and I'm really big on this, making sure I don't enjoy perfectionism.
00:08:59.495 --> 00:09:03.163
I remember I talked about this early in the podcast seasons.
00:09:03.163 --> 00:09:08.975
My sister-in-law said to me once perfectionism is a disease and I can be very obsessive.
00:09:08.975 --> 00:09:15.405
But I'm trying to make sure that I'm not being a perfectionist, because I think the obsessive part is actually just my personality.
00:09:16.087 --> 00:09:19.020
Yeah, Like the cleaning thing, right, I just don't.
00:09:19.020 --> 00:09:22.471
I don't think I'm going to be able to not make my bed when I wake up.
00:09:22.471 --> 00:09:30.063
I don't think I'll be well, but the perfectionism part doesn't feel super healthy.
00:09:30.063 --> 00:09:31.086
So, and I don't think it actually is who I am.
00:09:31.086 --> 00:09:32.089
I think it was the nature of the beast before.
00:09:32.089 --> 00:09:36.504
But my mom said that perfectionism is when you don't enjoy the process.
00:09:36.504 --> 00:09:48.120
I know so it just happened in a conversation like three hours ago, so I've been thinking about it, but I was like, oh, I'm definitely putting this on Jenny now because that's such an interesting thought.
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:53.202
She's like when you're doing something and you don't enjoy it at all, that's actually perfectionism.
00:09:54.767 --> 00:09:54.907
Ooh.
00:09:55.969 --> 00:09:57.753
I know we might need to look into this.
00:09:58.220 --> 00:09:59.384
Yeah, I feel like I need to.
00:09:59.384 --> 00:10:01.090
I need to sit in that one for a minute.
00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:07.381
I know, so I'm giving it to you.
00:10:07.381 --> 00:10:07.722
You're welcome.
00:10:07.722 --> 00:10:08.485
Thank you, you can keep it now for me.
00:10:08.504 --> 00:10:09.647
I was talking about the hair.
00:10:09.647 --> 00:10:12.212
Well, I was about to bring up the hair.
00:10:12.212 --> 00:10:35.866
So, rebecca, she does not Facebook often, but last week, last week, I saw a post in a group that we are both members of Yep and it was by Rebecca and it said I should have pulled it up Long story short.
00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:37.846
This is going to sound a little unhinged.
00:10:40.301 --> 00:11:01.447
But she was asking for recommendations on where to get a perm and in true Jenny fashion, like I don't know if she knew I was going to see it, I don't know if she even knew I was in this group with her, but my response was whoa, whoa, whoa, we have got to discuss.
00:11:01.447 --> 00:11:08.934
And like all these people started like laughing and like commenting on it and I'm like, yeah, girl, people panic.
00:11:10.022 --> 00:11:11.927
Like a large portion of my friends.
00:11:11.927 --> 00:11:15.205
People were like absolutely not what is happening here.
00:11:15.205 --> 00:11:17.107
People were dropping like the gifs.
00:11:17.107 --> 00:11:21.051
I at one point I was like trying to defend myself inside of the group.
00:11:21.051 --> 00:11:23.268
I felt like I was like at the front of a castle with swords.
00:11:23.268 --> 00:11:27.056
I was like I have gotten permission from my stylist and then I was like it's not bangs.
00:11:27.056 --> 00:11:30.730
I'm like I don't want people to think I'm getting a perm because they got divorced.
00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:34.649
Well, no, and that was definitely what I thought, like for sure.
00:11:34.649 --> 00:11:50.100
I was like no, I'm not even kidding, I'm like she is grabbing her freedom by the balls and say by the balls, and say, by golly, it's the season of the perm.
00:11:50.100 --> 00:12:07.096
And I mean like I think people hear the word perm and they immediately go back to like coming to America like the Jerry curl, like you know where everybody's sitting on the couch, and it like leaves like Jerry curl jeans, or something but if you would have prefaced.
00:12:07.115 --> 00:12:21.162
So we started a text message chain about it, clearly, because I was ready to stage an intervention and she was like, we know, like she sent me a picture of blake lively at the super bowl and I'm like, oh okay, I see where we're going now.
00:12:21.162 --> 00:12:29.206
So like I was I, I was, I was, it was not, it was not coming to America, per perm, it was Blake Lively.
00:12:29.206 --> 00:12:32.006
Like you look like a lion ass.
00:12:32.950 --> 00:12:34.889
Yeah, it was like I just feel this whole.
00:12:34.889 --> 00:12:42.025
You know I love my gold jewelry and you know I like what does it have to do with gold jewelry?
00:12:42.025 --> 00:12:43.610
Blake Lively?
00:12:43.610 --> 00:12:51.293
Okay, and you know I like love, I do actually this is going to sound stupid, but I do actually like love my hair.
00:12:51.419 --> 00:12:57.688
I feel very thankful, I love it and I like have a million reasons why I'm very thankful for it.
00:12:57.688 --> 00:13:13.730
Like I have a maternal grandmother who actually passed away from breast cancer and there's a whole portion where she like didn't have her hair and had wigs and I was really young and that just looked hard to me and I'm sure in her process there were much harder things happening, but it just looked hard.
00:13:13.730 --> 00:13:18.370
And so I've always been like I've never been somebody who's like I hate my hair.
00:13:18.370 --> 00:13:23.332
I have hated what I've done to it before and I learned more about it.
00:13:23.332 --> 00:13:33.559
But like we are not entering this season where really pretty straight hair or well, like curled hair is going to do anything.
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:34.020
It is.
00:13:34.020 --> 00:13:48.452
We are on the doorsteps of what summer is like in Charleston and there's no so, and I have naturally wavy hair, right, and I have naturally wavy hair.
00:13:48.493 --> 00:13:51.640
So I was like how do I tap into this natural wave?
00:13:51.640 --> 00:13:54.687
But I also was trying to be lazy.
00:13:54.687 --> 00:13:58.121
So I talked to my stylist, ashley, and I was like I just want something.
00:13:58.121 --> 00:13:59.225
That's no maintenance.
00:13:59.225 --> 00:14:06.832
She's like this is all a lie, the fact that you thought you were going to get a perm and you're just going to wake up and scrunch your hair for two seconds and go out your door.
00:14:06.832 --> 00:14:12.287
That's a lie, you told yourself and she started being like you know, you have to grow it out, it's permanent.
00:14:13.590 --> 00:14:16.486
I do, yeah, so I'm sitting here.
00:14:16.486 --> 00:14:26.890
I was judging you, but in 2007, 8, I got a perm.
00:14:26.890 --> 00:14:29.313
I was in my twenties.
00:14:29.313 --> 00:14:29.914
I got well.
00:14:29.914 --> 00:14:31.621
Back then we called it body waves.
00:14:31.621 --> 00:14:38.846
I feel like that's like it was the beach wave era, you know, it was like I want to look like I just came off the surfboard.
00:14:38.846 --> 00:14:42.562
I mean, let's be real, no, I don't do that, but anyway.
00:14:42.562 --> 00:14:43.846
So I had this body wave.
00:14:43.846 --> 00:14:44.970
I did a one time.
00:14:44.970 --> 00:14:56.986
Like almost 20 years later, I still have this body wave, so like if I don't dry my hair, then I have like waves, and that's all I do all summer.
00:14:56.986 --> 00:14:58.451
I never dry my hair in the summer.
00:14:58.451 --> 00:15:00.822
It usually is frizzy.
00:15:00.822 --> 00:15:10.196
I mean, we live in Charleston, it's hella humid and I just roll with it, and so I will say you don't always have to maintain it, but it might take you 20 years.
00:15:11.899 --> 00:15:14.745
So then my stylist, who, by the way, is significantly younger than me.
00:15:14.745 --> 00:15:21.288
I basically started going to her right after she graduated high school and it was like in the middle of COVID.
00:15:21.288 --> 00:15:29.042
So we've been through a lot together and I posted a reel about her the other day Cause I heard I have actually been through some really hard things together too.
00:15:29.042 --> 00:15:37.927
They didn't have to do with us, but she was amazing, um, but she was like I'm Blake doesn't have a perm.
00:15:37.927 --> 00:15:39.873
I'm going to teach you how to do this to your hair.
00:15:39.873 --> 00:15:41.643
You have natural wave.
00:15:41.643 --> 00:15:43.105
We just need to like lean into it.
00:15:43.125 --> 00:15:44.548
And I was like what do I do about the humidity?
00:15:44.548 --> 00:15:49.022
And she was like there's not a single product out there that is going to save you from humidity.
00:15:49.022 --> 00:15:50.727
Like JLo gets frizzy hair.
00:15:50.727 --> 00:15:52.173
So you got to move on from it.
00:15:52.173 --> 00:15:52.735
What do you do?
00:15:52.735 --> 00:15:56.003
So she taught me how to do this.
00:15:56.003 --> 00:15:57.104
Today was my first day doing it.
00:15:57.104 --> 00:15:58.846
I'm actually kind of obsessed with it.
00:15:58.846 --> 00:16:04.274
It is big, so I feel like I don't know how everyone's reactions are going to be, but I also don't care.
00:16:04.274 --> 00:16:05.475
I'm kind of obsessed with it.
00:16:05.475 --> 00:16:06.501
I love it.
00:16:06.581 --> 00:16:08.668
I think it looks great, it varies.
00:16:08.668 --> 00:16:09.791
Reminiscent of Blake Lively.
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:22.167
Okay, and the barrel I got was a little bit too small, so I made a joke earlier on Instagram like apparently neither of us knows what a quarter inch is and the box looks of course it came.
00:16:22.167 --> 00:16:26.091
Have you ever had an Amazon package where they just put the label right on the box and they just yes?
00:16:26.130 --> 00:16:27.831
And I love when they do it during Christmas.
00:16:27.831 --> 00:16:31.615
I'm like dude, like come on, come on, come on.
00:16:32.216 --> 00:16:32.918
Well, so it's.
00:16:32.918 --> 00:16:37.667
And I bought it in pink because you know, obviously it looked so sketchy.
00:16:37.667 --> 00:16:41.774
When I was bringing it back to my apartment, I looked like the most single girl here.
00:16:41.774 --> 00:16:44.269
It just like a giant pink wand.
00:16:44.269 --> 00:16:47.583
I most single girl here, it's just like a giant pink wand.
00:16:47.604 --> 00:16:49.089
I was not proud of myself at all.
00:16:49.089 --> 00:16:49.931
Well, I've seen your neighbor.
00:16:49.931 --> 00:16:54.269
Some of them in their underwear, not by choice, yeah, you did see one of my neighbors in his underwear.
00:16:55.140 --> 00:16:56.085
It wasn't at my place.
00:16:56.505 --> 00:16:57.028
No judgment.
00:16:58.020 --> 00:16:58.481
He's married.
00:16:58.481 --> 00:16:59.283
He's happily married.
00:16:59.283 --> 00:17:00.206
It has nothing to do with me.
00:17:01.408 --> 00:17:02.932
No neighbors have been in my apartment.
00:17:04.241 --> 00:17:06.307
No neighbors have been in my apartment in their underwear.
00:17:06.307 --> 00:17:08.712
Okay, just to clarify.
