Scrubbing in with Beca Tilly and Tanya Red and iHeartRadio
and two times People's Choice Award winning podcast Hello Everybody,
We are scrubbing it one final time of twenty twenty
five and now the year in the books, the last scrub,
(00:25):
the last scrub of the year. I'm sadast years over
personally a good year.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, I'm excited about twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yes, you know, much on the horizon.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Much on the horizon can be twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yeah, yes it is.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I do.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I do get this like itch in the New Year,
Like I love like chapter one of twelve and like
you know what I mean, like new Year, new y,
fresh start, make it what you want, paint the town red.
Like there's this this like energy that I get in
January that I don't have any other month of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I feel like the New Year really starts in February
because I feel like January it's like you're coming off
of this RESTful time and also kind of stressful like that.
I feel like the holidays can also be stressful for people.
And then and in the first month, even though the
vibe that you're fed is like you need to go
it's a new year, get in shape, do all the
(01:25):
things you want to do. It's like I like to
just ease into it.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Oh No, I'm like fired up, Like I'm like, let's
go whoa whoa. Well, I was like before I went
on on like my break, like on my Christmas my
winter break, work was like piling up, like it was
like in January, you're gonna do this this And I
was like, oh wow, Like it does like I feel
(01:50):
like everybody just like hits the ground running in January.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah. Yeah, there's stuff, there's stuff to be done.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, but my soul feels it breeds a little more time.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It needs a little more time than society allows.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, a little in between from the lay and the
and the run exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, the lay and the sleigh.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So you're in the d r yes, ringing in the
new year, just.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Ring it in ring ring dingle ling ling.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Are you like, uh, since since you're not really drinking
this year, are you ending it with a beverage? You
think like a celebratory champon.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You know what's so funny. I was actually gonna bring
champagne in for when you came back from like when
your engagement in Japan. Yeah, and I was like, Easton
doesn't drink. I thought Mark would be here. Mark doesn't drink.
I'm not drinking, so I'm gonna have a.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Whole bottle just but I really don't drink.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, you don't really drink that much. So I was like, woo, yeah, yeah,
I'll probably have like a ceremonial sip, a ceremonial sip
to ring it in. That's what I do when I'm
like out. I don't like casually drink anymore. Like I'm
not just like drinking to drink, but when there's like
an occasion, I'm gonna throw back a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we love that. I think that
we are doing Haley's dad is riding in the Rose
Pick parade.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, so we're gonna go, well, I've never been before,
so we're gonna go watch him do that, which I
think will be a very early morning.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
New Year's Day.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah so you guys, Yeah, which I mean like staying
up till midnight isn't you know, when we're just hanging
out at home tilling I don't really feel a lot
of pressure to stay up till midnight.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's tough to stay up till midnight when sometimes we'll.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Like barely make it and we're like happy New Year,
good night.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You want I really want to do one New Year
And we we talked about it, I think last year,
but we like, I always want to throw a New
Year's party.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You did talk about this last year, but I don't
want to.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Like have it be like a party. I wanted to
be like a pajama party where we have like friends
over and play games and like watch the show Ideal.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Right, yeah next year, because I.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Feel like there's like a lot of pressure when you
throw into yours party because it's like the best art
of the year, like you, like, everybody's expecting to have
the best time. So I'm like that's a lot of
pressure to hold on to. Yeah, but if you make
like a pajama party, expectations and everyone can be comfortable
and cozy but like together. I love a game night
New Year like yeah, with loved ones, loved.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Ones and food and fellowship.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah next year.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Well, we are getting all lot with I like it, though,
I know, I know, I know it's a good it's
a good season that we're in. Yeah, should we do
some of our favorites of the year.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, well, I feel like we never got to any
of these, Like people submitted questions like end of the
year questions through Instagram that we never got to, and
I feel like.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh, yeah, they've been patiently waiting for weeks.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now answer these patiently waiting.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Well, let's tackle some of them, shall we?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That we shall?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Do you want to lead the way?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Sure? Okay, I'm gonna start with this one because like
let's just like talk about the elephant in the room. Okay, Becca,
who will be your maids of honor?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Wow? I feel like you'll be a maid of honor? Yeah,
for sure. I haven't thought me on that, Like I
obviously have people that are in my life. I just
I'm like, oh, do I just make everyone kind of
a maid of honor? Do I just give people like
specific roles of like where I think they'll thrive, you know,
(05:33):
like you're so good at celebrating and planning and like
doing the most, so like, of course you'll you'll be
a maid of honor in my wedding. I don't see
a world where you're not. But I have, you know,
my sisters, I have jo But everyone's like in a
new season of life where I don't know, they'll have
(05:53):
so much to give and you also will probably be
in that season of life whilst I'm planning.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But we're still gonna be so happy to totally.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
But I'm seeing it's a life. Life goes in a
different direction. You know, you get more capacity.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Can I give you a piece of advice sure that
you didn't ask for?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Depending on how many bridesmaids you're gonna have, if you're
gonna have like a big bridal party, I think having
maids of honor and like differentiating, does I guess make sense.
My bridal party was so small. Three of my five
were maids of honor, and I'm like, I wish I
would have just made everybody a maid of honor, do
you know what I mean? Like, I don't know why
(06:36):
I did that. Like in hindsight, I'm like, I wish
I would have made everybody because all of you did,
like really worked on everything together, and I think that's
really how it always is. Yeah, yeah, that's just my
little tip. Well, you know, take it for what you want.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I just I want everyone. I don't know that I
want a huge party because I think trying to arrange
or putting expectations on people could make me feel overwhelmed.
So I don't know. I'll have to get there. When
I get there, yeah, you'll be there.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I can help stress, and I'm just so happy to help.
Just put me in coach, coach.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I wanted to answer this one because a lot of
people have been hitting me up about this. Tanya, what
happened to your natural nail era? It's over? It is over.
It lasted about I think three months in total. I
don't know if anybody else has this nervous habit, but
when I don't have nails on, so I have like
fake nails on when I don't have any sort of
(07:37):
because I would just I was doing like polish, just
like regular polish. I pick at the skin around my fingers,
especially my thumbs.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, I do that.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Do you think I think a lot of people because
you do it without realizing you're doing it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I'm it's like bleeding, Like my fingers just start getting
bloody and then I keep picking until they're like bleeding more.
And for some reason, when I have fake nails on,
I don't do that. So for my own fingers sake.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I didn't know what Tanya Tonya goes one day after
the podcast, She's like, look at my nails. And I
was shook because there was a time where I had
I had taken off the color of my nails or something.
They weren't done, and Tonya made such a fuss about
how unkept my hands looked without them being done, and
(08:22):
I was like, ma'am, you look like you've been gnawed on.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
But I was just the skin around my nails, not
my nails. My actual nails were still gorgeous. It's the
skin around.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I'm sorry it took away from the beauty of the nail.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Having to rocks.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I think it's a natural habit to do. I do
it too. If I don't have my nails done with
my gel, I will attack them.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
It's also bite their nails. I don't bite my nails.
The skin around them is gone. So the natural nail
journey ended for me unfortunately quickly.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
What is something you want to take less seriously this
next year?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
That's a tough one because I think everything so seriously.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I want to take everything less seriously because like I
had this moment recently where I was like, we are
in this big world, and like we're so minuscule and
and like this is a sad reality, but it is reality.
But like, aside from the next generation and maybe the
next one, no one's gonna remember you. Yeah, like no
(09:33):
one's gonna remember me, like the people who knew me,
and like maybe other people, their kids or something might
remember me or know of me. But like with how
seriously and uh dramatically I feel about things. When I
put myself in that headspace, it makes everything feel so
less daunting and like big, and I just want to
(09:56):
be like I want to be kind, I want to
love people. I want people around me to feel like
seen because that's what's presently happening. And I don't want
to take everything so seriously or feel like these small
inconveniences in life feel like so grand and they're really
not that big of a deal. And I also really like,
obviously people have bad days, and like one person's situation
(10:21):
doesn't make someone else's situation less valid. But I really
don't have anything to complain about, Like I have a
very incredible life, and like I just want to be
able to like help people and love people, and for
people when they think of me to think of those
things and not be anything more dramatic than that.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yeah, you know, I think I realized this year that
because my my acupuncturists in this like trying to conceive era,
her biggest thing is like you need less stress, like
relax and that's why I was calling it like my
soft girl era. But I think I realized that in
this season, how much I live my life and like
(11:00):
fight or flight I don't know how to like and
that's not really the right term, but how much I
live my life of like so go go go and
so stressed. Like I'm always just like stressed about like
getting to work on time, doing this, doing that. Like
my whole day is just like a to do list
of like little stressors and it's like we all have it.
It's like a part of life. But I think because
(11:20):
I just I just take everything so seriously and I
don't need to do that, you know what I mean,
Like I can like put my shoulders down and do
what I need to do and not make everything. I
just think I naturally tend to make things more just
like natural everyday tasks more intense and I need to
just like chill out.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
It's all about working smarter and not harder. Yeah, like
life can be hard. Why make it harder for yourself?
You know? Yeah, Like the things that you're stressing about,
they're either going to happen or they're not. They are
they are going to happen. Yeah, Like you know you
have to get to work on time, So like you're
gonna get to work on time, right, why would you
add to stressed about We're getting to work on it?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
And like it's so weird. I've only slept through my
alarm really like once or twice in my entire career,
and yet every morning I'm so scared I'm going to
sleep through my alarm, so I'm waking up an hour
before to check it. And I'm like, I hate that.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Like, I mean, you did say you're already stressed about
Christmas and New Year's being over. You couldn't even enjoy it?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Correct, Yeah, there's clearly there's a lot of work I
need to do in the new year. That's a little
bit about me.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
What do you want to let go?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Man?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
We Alison and I watched a meteor shower the other
day and it made us feel or reminded us how
insignificant we are, you know, like this is a rock
burning up like how many millions of miles away and
I'm enjoying it down here on earth. It could hit
me right now and then that would hopefully be the
end of it all. Yeah, because I too, you know,
(12:53):
I saw someone on TikTok saying like, I'm going to
work to send an email with the nervous system of
someone going to war.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Really, yeah, I too feel that way. And I get
myself rarely worked up about stuff that does not totally.
I get myself really worked up about, you know, things
that no one's going to listen to with respect. But
so I want to I want to take every I
want to take everything less seriously next year. I mean,
come on, this is the one life we get, and
(13:19):
I want to spend it all looking for joy and
trying to create joy.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
That's all I want to do.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, yeah, I feel that way too. I think that
this question is like the best question to kind of
like sum up our years. Should we get to it?
After the break.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
We're back, We're back.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So, since this is our last podcast of twenty twenty five,
I saw this question. I thought it's just like the
perfect way to sum up the year on our last podcast. Okay,
what are the top three highlights of this year for you? Ooh, anyone?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Do you want to start?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Mine are very easy, Okay, because I got married this year, Okay,
so I would say my wedding obviously. I think that's
like one of the top highlights of my life. Couldn't
have been better. I had the absolute time of my
life and I could not have like I couldn't asked
for anything better, truly. I think our honeymoon was another
(14:51):
highlight of like not even just the year of my life.
There was something so special. It's like not just a vacation,
it's like a totally different type of vacation. And we
were so connected and like so just like ravenous with
each other, and like I don't know, it was just
like very there was just something very different about it
that I feel like was really special. And your engagement.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Whoa that means so much?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Which one, well, I think the one in July okay, yeah,
because also like I found out on my honeymoon, so
I made that even like more special. Yeah, And it
was like very like serendipitous that like my honeymoon is
like the end of my like bridal era, and like
you were just starting yours, and like, I know how
exciting and like how special.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
That day is.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So it was like my journey's ending in yours. Oh
my god, not expect Friday.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's so special. Because I was gonna say, I would
say probably my proposal from Haley and to Haley would
be if I can, if I have to separate them,
add two of those. But I was gonna say, you're
wedding too, because I felt like it was such a
special weekend. And I also lump at your bachelorette party
into like that too, because it was such a fun
(16:09):
trip and like it was so fun getting to celebrate
you in something that like you had wanted for so long,
and like especially talking about on the podcast, because it's
been that's been such a journey as like your love
life and your love story, and it really felt like
it came to this like beautiful completion in the sense
of like you found your person and like now it's
(16:31):
the next phase of life, you know. Yeah, And it
was just such a fun weekend. Even though I like
nearly killed myself via alcohol, it was amazingly.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Was like, oh my god, everybody just like it was
like one big happy family. It wasn't his friends, Robbie's friends,
it was just like everybody.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It was so fun and I would and then yeah,
I feel like my proposal it was so unexpected and
I was so shocked and had no idea and it
was so fun feeling so loved and celebrated, and then
obviously getting to plan the proposal for Haley was like
such a fun journey. And my honorable mentions will be
(17:13):
Ali having a baby and Jojo finding out who's having
a baby, and I just felt like it was a
really it was a year of like so many like
beautiful life moments and I will always remember this year
as that.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Let's see, I think, well, the thing that comes to
mind right away. Doing the East Awards in front of
an audience this year, that was so much fun. And
I'm in the depths of doing working next year right
now and I'm really excited about it. Was just it
was creatively, very fulfilling for me. And I'm grateful for
everyone who came to that or watched it.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Tony's wedding.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I mean, I really I think about that weekend so often,
so frequently, and it brings me so those memories bring
me so much joy.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It was so much fun. It was so fun being
around everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
And videos from like the wedding, like the dance partner,
the reception. I watched them more than I want to admit,
Like literally.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
It's so fun. It's fun. I mean mean to honestly,
I like I go back and watch those quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
And then another like really memory I keep coming back
to you from this year was doing the Backstreet Boys
at the Sphere. So fun, so fun, and like going
backstage there and like the show itself is insane, but
like it was just one of those moments where I
was like this is this is so cool and I'm
so grateful to.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Be doing this and I it's just it was.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
It's just fun. It was a fun thing to do
and I and I got paid to do it. How
lucky am I?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah? That was a really fun it was.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I always feel like when I do these like year
end things, like my years always marked by like professional milestones,
and I never had like personal ones, you know, and
like this year, I feel like it was all personal
and it's like it's beautiful. Yeah, yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah it was. It was a fun year. Lots going on.
Imagine all the years moving forward, we'll feel that way. Yeah.

Like there's this this like energy that I get in
January that I don't have any other month of the year.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I feel like the New Year really starts in February
because I feel like January it's like you're coming off
of this RESTful time and also kind of stressful like that.
I feel like the holidays can also be stressful for people.
And then and in the first month, even though the
vibe that you're fed is like you need to go
it's a new year, get in shape, do all the
(01:25):
things you want to do. It's like I like to
just ease into it.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Oh No, I'm like fired up, Like I'm like, let's
go whoa whoa. Well, I was like before I went
on on like my break, like on my Christmas my
winter break, work was like piling up, like it was
like in January, you're gonna do this this And I
was like, oh wow, Like it does like I feel
(01:50):
like everybody just like hits the ground running in January.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yeah. Yeah, there's stuff, there's stuff to be done.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Yeah, but my soul feels it breeds a little more time.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
It needs a little more time than society allows.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, a little in between from the lay and the
and the run exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, the lay and the sleigh.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It's good.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So you're in the d r yes, ringing in the
new year, just.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Ring it in ring ring dingle ling ling.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Are you like, uh, since since you're not really drinking
this year, are you ending it with a beverage? You
think like a celebratory champon.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You know what's so funny. I was actually gonna bring
champagne in for when you came back from like when
your engagement in Japan. Yeah, and I was like, Easton
doesn't drink. I thought Mark would be here. Mark doesn't drink.
I'm not drinking, so I'm gonna have a.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Whole bottle just but I really don't drink.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, you don't really drink that much. So I was like, woo, yeah, yeah,
I'll probably have like a ceremonial sip, a ceremonial sip
to ring it in. That's what I do when I'm
like out. I don't like casually drink anymore. Like I'm
not just like drinking to drink, but when there's like
an occasion, I'm gonna throw back a little bit.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we love that. I think that
we are doing Haley's dad is riding in the Rose
Pick parade.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah, so we're gonna go, well, I've never been before,
so we're gonna go watch him do that, which I
think will be a very early morning.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
New Year's Day.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Yeah so you guys, Yeah, which I mean like staying
up till midnight isn't you know, when we're just hanging
out at home tilling I don't really feel a lot
of pressure to stay up till midnight.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's tough to stay up till midnight when sometimes we'll.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Like barely make it and we're like happy New Year,
good night.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
You want I really want to do one New Year
And we we talked about it, I think last year,
but we like, I always want to throw a New
Year's party.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You did talk about this last year, but I don't
want to.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Like have it be like a party. I wanted to
be like a pajama party where we have like friends
over and play games and like watch the show Ideal.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Right, yeah next year, because I.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Feel like there's like a lot of pressure when you
throw into yours party because it's like the best art
of the year, like you, like, everybody's expecting to have
the best time. So I'm like that's a lot of
pressure to hold on to. Yeah, but if you make
like a pajama party, expectations and everyone can be comfortable
and cozy but like together. I love a game night
New Year like yeah, with loved ones, loved.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Ones and food and fellowship.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah next year.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Well, we are getting all lot with I like it, though,
I know, I know, I know it's a good it's
a good season that we're in. Yeah, should we do
some of our favorites of the year.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, well, I feel like we never got to any
of these, Like people submitted questions like end of the
year questions through Instagram that we never got to, and
I feel like.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Oh, yeah, they've been patiently waiting for weeks.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now answer these patiently waiting.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Well, let's tackle some of them, shall we?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That we shall?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Do you want to lead the way?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Sure? Okay, I'm gonna start with this one because like
let's just like talk about the elephant in the room. Okay, Becca,
who will be your maids of honor?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Wow? I feel like you'll be a maid of honor? Yeah,
for sure. I haven't thought me on that, Like I
obviously have people that are in my life. I just
I'm like, oh, do I just make everyone kind of
a maid of honor? Do I just give people like
specific roles of like where I think they'll thrive, you know,
(05:33):
like you're so good at celebrating and planning and like
doing the most, so like, of course you'll you'll be
a maid of honor in my wedding. I don't see
a world where you're not. But I have, you know,
my sisters, I have jo But everyone's like in a
new season of life where I don't know, they'll have
(05:53):
so much to give and you also will probably be
in that season of life whilst I'm planning.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But we're still gonna be so happy to totally.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
But I'm seeing it's a life. Life goes in a
different direction. You know, you get more capacity.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Can I give you a piece of advice sure that
you didn't ask for?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Depending on how many bridesmaids you're gonna have, if you're
gonna have like a big bridal party, I think having
maids of honor and like differentiating, does I guess make sense.
My bridal party was so small. Three of my five
were maids of honor, and I'm like, I wish I
would have just made everybody a maid of honor, do
you know what I mean? Like, I don't know why
(06:36):
I did that. Like in hindsight, I'm like, I wish
I would have made everybody because all of you did,
like really worked on everything together, and I think that's
really how it always is. Yeah, yeah, that's just my
little tip. Well, you know, take it for what you want.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I just I want everyone. I don't know that I
want a huge party because I think trying to arrange
or putting expectations on people could make me feel overwhelmed.
So I don't know. I'll have to get there. When
I get there, yeah, you'll be there.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I can help stress, and I'm just so happy to help.
Just put me in coach, coach.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I wanted to answer this one because a lot of
people have been hitting me up about this. Tanya, what
happened to your natural nail era? It's over? It is over.
It lasted about I think three months in total. I
don't know if anybody else has this nervous habit, but
when I don't have nails on, so I have like
fake nails on when I don't have any sort of
(07:37):
because I would just I was doing like polish, just
like regular polish. I pick at the skin around my fingers,
especially my thumbs.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah, I do that.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Do you think I think a lot of people because
you do it without realizing you're doing it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I'm it's like bleeding, Like my fingers just start getting
bloody and then I keep picking until they're like bleeding more.
And for some reason, when I have fake nails on,
I don't do that. So for my own fingers sake.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I didn't know what Tanya Tonya goes one day after
the podcast, She's like, look at my nails. And I
was shook because there was a time where I had
I had taken off the color of my nails or something.
They weren't done, and Tonya made such a fuss about
how unkept my hands looked without them being done, and
(08:22):
I was like, ma'am, you look like you've been gnawed on.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
But I was just the skin around my nails, not
my nails. My actual nails were still gorgeous. It's the
skin around.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I'm sorry it took away from the beauty of the nail.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Having to rocks.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
I think it's a natural habit to do. I do
it too. If I don't have my nails done with
my gel, I will attack them.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
It's also bite their nails. I don't bite my nails.
The skin around them is gone. So the natural nail
journey ended for me unfortunately quickly.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
What is something you want to take less seriously this
next year?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
That's a tough one because I think everything so seriously.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I want to take everything less seriously because like I
had this moment recently where I was like, we are
in this big world, and like we're so minuscule and
and like this is a sad reality, but it is reality.
But like, aside from the next generation and maybe the
next one, no one's gonna remember you. Yeah, like no
(09:33):
one's gonna remember me, like the people who knew me,
and like maybe other people, their kids or something might
remember me or know of me. But like with how
seriously and uh dramatically I feel about things. When I
put myself in that headspace, it makes everything feel so
less daunting and like big, and I just want to
(09:56):
be like I want to be kind, I want to
love people. I want people around me to feel like
seen because that's what's presently happening. And I don't want
to take everything so seriously or feel like these small
inconveniences in life feel like so grand and they're really
not that big of a deal. And I also really like,
obviously people have bad days, and like one person's situation
(10:21):
doesn't make someone else's situation less valid. But I really
don't have anything to complain about, Like I have a
very incredible life, and like I just want to be
able to like help people and love people, and for
people when they think of me to think of those
things and not be anything more dramatic than that.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Yeah, you know, I think I realized this year that
because my my acupuncturists in this like trying to conceive era,
her biggest thing is like you need less stress, like
relax and that's why I was calling it like my
soft girl era. But I think I realized that in
this season, how much I live my life and like
(11:00):
fight or flight I don't know how to like and
that's not really the right term, but how much I
live my life of like so go go go and
so stressed. Like I'm always just like stressed about like
getting to work on time, doing this, doing that. Like
my whole day is just like a to do list
of like little stressors and it's like we all have it.
It's like a part of life. But I think because
(11:20):
I just I just take everything so seriously and I
don't need to do that, you know what I mean,
Like I can like put my shoulders down and do
what I need to do and not make everything. I
just think I naturally tend to make things more just
like natural everyday tasks more intense and I need to
just like chill out.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
It's all about working smarter and not harder. Yeah, like
life can be hard. Why make it harder for yourself?
You know? Yeah, Like the things that you're stressing about,
they're either going to happen or they're not. They are
they are going to happen. Yeah, Like you know you
have to get to work on time, So like you're
gonna get to work on time, right, why would you
add to stressed about We're getting to work on it?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
And like it's so weird. I've only slept through my
alarm really like once or twice in my entire career,
and yet every morning I'm so scared I'm going to
sleep through my alarm, so I'm waking up an hour
before to check it. And I'm like, I hate that.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Like, I mean, you did say you're already stressed about
Christmas and New Year's being over. You couldn't even enjoy it?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Correct, Yeah, there's clearly there's a lot of work I
need to do in the new year. That's a little
bit about me.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
What do you want to let go?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Man?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
We Alison and I watched a meteor shower the other
day and it made us feel or reminded us how
insignificant we are, you know, like this is a rock
burning up like how many millions of miles away and
I'm enjoying it down here on earth. It could hit
me right now and then that would hopefully be the
end of it all. Yeah, because I too, you know,
(12:53):
I saw someone on TikTok saying like, I'm going to
work to send an email with the nervous system of
someone going to war.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You know.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Really, yeah, I too feel that way. And I get
myself rarely worked up about stuff that does not totally.
I get myself really worked up about, you know, things
that no one's going to listen to with respect. But
so I want to I want to take every I
want to take everything less seriously next year. I mean,
come on, this is the one life we get, and
(13:19):
I want to spend it all looking for joy and
trying to create joy.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
That's all I want to do.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, yeah, I feel that way too. I think that
this question is like the best question to kind of
like sum up our years. Should we get to it?
After the break.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
We're back, We're back.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
So, since this is our last podcast of twenty twenty five,
I saw this question. I thought it's just like the
perfect way to sum up the year on our last podcast. Okay,
what are the top three highlights of this year for you? Ooh, anyone?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Do you want to start?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Mine are very easy, Okay, because I got married this year, Okay,
so I would say my wedding obviously. I think that's
like one of the top highlights of my life. Couldn't
have been better. I had the absolute time of my
life and I could not have like I couldn't asked
for anything better, truly. I think our honeymoon was another
(14:51):
highlight of like not even just the year of my life.
There was something so special. It's like not just a vacation,
it's like a totally different type of vacation. And we
were so connected and like so just like ravenous with
each other, and like I don't know, it was just
like very there was just something very different about it
that I feel like was really special. And your engagement.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Whoa that means so much?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Which one, well, I think the one in July okay, yeah,
because also like I found out on my honeymoon, so
I made that even like more special. Yeah, And it
was like very like serendipitous that like my honeymoon is
like the end of my like bridal era, and like
you were just starting yours, and like, I know how
exciting and like how special.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
That day is.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So it was like my journey's ending in yours. Oh
my god, not expect Friday.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That's so special. Because I was gonna say, I would
say probably my proposal from Haley and to Haley would
be if I can, if I have to separate them,
add two of those. But I was gonna say, you're
wedding too, because I felt like it was such a
special weekend. And I also lump at your bachelorette party
into like that too, because it was such a fun
(16:09):
trip and like it was so fun getting to celebrate
you in something that like you had wanted for so long,
and like especially talking about on the podcast, because it's
been that's been such a journey as like your love
life and your love story, and it really felt like
it came to this like beautiful completion in the sense
of like you found your person and like now it's
(16:31):
the next phase of life, you know. Yeah, And it
was just such a fun weekend. Even though I like
nearly killed myself via alcohol, it was amazingly.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Was like, oh my god, everybody just like it was
like one big happy family. It wasn't his friends, Robbie's friends,
it was just like everybody.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It was so fun and I would and then yeah,
I feel like my proposal it was so unexpected and
I was so shocked and had no idea and it
was so fun feeling so loved and celebrated, and then
obviously getting to plan the proposal for Haley was like
such a fun journey. And my honorable mentions will be
(17:13):
Ali having a baby and Jojo finding out who's having
a baby, and I just felt like it was a
really it was a year of like so many like
beautiful life moments and I will always remember this year
as that.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Let's see, I think, well, the thing that comes to
mind right away. Doing the East Awards in front of
an audience this year, that was so much fun. And
I'm in the depths of doing working next year right
now and I'm really excited about it. Was just it
was creatively, very fulfilling for me. And I'm grateful for
everyone who came to that or watched it.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Tony's wedding.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I mean, I really I think about that weekend so often,
so frequently, and it brings me so those memories bring
me so much joy.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
It was so much fun. It was so fun being
around everybody.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
And videos from like the wedding, like the dance partner,
the reception. I watched them more than I want to admit,
Like literally.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
It's so fun. It's fun. I mean mean to honestly,
I like I go back and watch those quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
And then another like really memory I keep coming back
to you from this year was doing the Backstreet Boys
at the Sphere. So fun, so fun, and like going
backstage there and like the show itself is insane, but
like it was just one of those moments where I
was like this is this is so cool and I'm
so grateful to.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Be doing this and I it's just it was.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
It's just fun. It was a fun thing to do
and I and I got paid to do it. How
lucky am I?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah? That was a really fun it was.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I always feel like when I do these like year
end things, like my years always marked by like professional milestones,
and I never had like personal ones, you know, and
like this year, I feel like it was all personal
and it's like it's beautiful. Yeah, yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Yeah it was. It was a fun year. Lots going on.
Imagine all the years moving forward, we'll feel that way. Yeah.

me because I was I was excited to see it,

answer of Taylor Swift Life of a show Girl, with
an honorable mention to Jonas Brothers Greetings from your Hometown.
