I am very happily joined by my husband, Ryan Sutter,
who loves podcasting with me. No, I know you don't.
Once we get once we get going, it's all good.
(00:33):
And we're in this lovely Verbo in the Lake Tahoe,
which you know, coming to Lake Tahoe just reminds me
of being in Veil where we lived for twenty years,
and I cannot wait to go and look all around
the property. I know you've seen a little bit of it, and.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
It is that's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
It is beautiful.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
We got so lucky, and you guys, listen, procrastinators can
rejoice because Verbo has last minute deals for private vacation
renolds and you'll want to ping this one. I think
it's called the River House in Tahoe and it is stunning.
It has like a massage room, it has a sauna.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
What else does it have?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It has a beautiful pool and hot tub outside just
this babbling creek.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Is that what? You call it babbling, bubbling usually brook
babbling brook, thank you babbeling. This is why I bring him.

you can book within thirty days of checking in. So
definitely go on verbo and check out their properties. But
I am really excited to chat with you because this
whole week I guess week because we're not in the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Was my idea, and I'm so proud of it. I'm
so proud because.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You know how much I love pickleball.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yes I do.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And so here you are.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
And yesterday you were wearing a lovely gift that I
gave you that prepped you for this week, guys, his
very own court shoes, because what were you playing in?
Tell the people what you were playing in before I
got you court shoes.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I don't remember, I don't know. You don't need to
be like super big.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You clearly have not been to my league. Clearly Epic
pick a Ball shout out to Epic Pickleball in Littleton, Colorado.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
No, it is serious business, s babe, and you have
to get into the mindset because we are playing in
a tournament today and we are winning.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I know, okay, I'm not worried about it. I think
I can handle it. I mean, it was pickleball to
as far as I understand, was, if not started, at
least made popular by a population usually over sixty five.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
So I feel usually not anymore, and I.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Know it's I know it's caught on with the younger generation.
I actually feel bad for the older folks that started
it and had this kind of to themselves. Yeah right,
and then people like you have come along and made
it really popular and ruined it for all the old
old folks. So I hope you're proud of yourself with
you and your pickball.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Well, you know, I am getting up there in age, yeah, true,
fifty two.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I'm glad you actually found something that you enjoy doing.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I love pickleball, and it's really for me obviously. It's
good girl time. Like we get together with you know,
some of our friends who are couples and we get
to play and I I just love it. I you know,
almost famous we usually do in all the iHeart podcasts.
We usually do like golf tournaments, and I don't play golf,
(04:10):
And I was like, hmm, could we please do a
pickleball tournament because that's something that I really love. And
I know that there are tons of Bachelor Nation people
and of course all of the rest of the people,
Real Housewives, all of the iHeart Podcast people who love
pickleball just as much as me. So I'm really excited
(04:31):
we are actually having a tournament. So there's like tears
you know, people.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
That we know or is this yes, like a world world.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yes, we're going to dominate the world.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
People the.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Top, Maybe we should, maybe there's a new idea.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
No, it is just us. It's all the people who
are here for this event.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
So I feel more confident in our in our potential.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yes, Deanna has never played before, right, so, and I
think Bob and Canyon played once.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Well, sometimes people that haven't played are the ones that
you got to look out.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You're so right, especially with that big arm wingspand that
Bob has, so yeah, we got to watch out for them. Yeah,
we're watching out for you, Bob and Canyon.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And then there's the Goldens, who I know will be
bringing it today.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, it's their sport.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Okay, So who are you excited to see?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I know you probably don't even know most of the
people but.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I don't know who's coming. I mean, I always I'm
always excited to see Bob. Yeah, and I've already seen
him and we were both up early this morning, so
they got to catch up with him a little bit
and hear about his sort of wild travelers try and
get here. It seemed like it was difficult for everyone
to get here, including us, took a little longer than Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I think it was about the storms that he actually
experienced firsthand. But I think that's why we were delayed. Yeah, yeah,
because we had a little bit of a travel date.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We were supposed to leave Denver at four of seven pm,
and I don't know how many times did it get
pushed back?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Five maybe?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Anyway, we got here all as well, and it's beautiful
and more excited to be here. So what do you
love about Lake Tahoe? Like, I know what I love
and I just kind of specified, But what.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Do you like about time?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I just like all mountain areas. Yeah, I don't. I
think the first time did I or we came here
was when I used to do the extra triathlons and
this one was the national championship for a while. So
we came to that a couple of times, and then
and then it's been a while. All I came and
(07:00):
took a swift water certification class in Trucky a few
years ago to get instructors certified in that, and then
we came a few years ago with the almost famous people,
so I haven't spent a lot of time. It's and
it's funny because I was talking to Bob's wife. She
used to be a snowboarder and she would come up
(07:22):
here in snowboard in school. I mean, she was competitive,
so she would come up here and she had said
she had never been up here in the summertime. And
I don't think I've ever been up here in the.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Winter time, so true, which we haven't.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Crazy, So I love it as a summer destination. I've
never been here in the winter. And the lake obviously
is a big part of it.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
It's beautiful, gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
One of my favorite pictures with Max, with us and
Max is when we were here for the most famous
thing and we stune on the dock, so.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Pretty out there.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, I feel like the same thing, like about the mountains.
You know in Vale they say you come for the winter,
but you stay for the summer. I feel like summer
is so underrated and should not be, even though I
probably shouldn't be telling people that because then, you know,
the mountains will just kept popular.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And yeah, I think it's pretty popular.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
True true story. And we have a little getaway without
the kids. Hopefully they are taking care of their responsibilities,
including our dog.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I read them this morning about feeding Coda, and I
don't think they haven't.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Really know they did. He just did.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
While we've been talking. Max said that blakesleeve at him
and I did say, make sure you get up, make
sure you walk Coda.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Like, yeah, I don't worry about them. I mean, they'll
do what they're going to do, and they're old enough to,
you know, sort of manage on their own. But yeah,
that poor little dog needs attention and he usually gets
it from me and I'm not there, so I don't
worry about it. Like he's like the little kid now
in our family because our little kids aren't little kids anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
No, they're not speaking of our baby boy just turned
eighteen years old.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah I cannot.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I still can't believe that we actually have an adult
like he isn't he's official, Yeah, wanted he still leave babe,
I mean, I mean, buddy, Please don't.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Leave, Please don't leave me.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, it's going to be really interesting to see what
his future entails at Blakesley too, obviously, but he is
right on the precipice. You know, He's got one more
year of school and then we'll see what happens. You know,
for everybody out there, he plays hockey. He would love
to play hockey after high school. But that's a whole
(09:57):
ball game in itself. You have to go to juniors
instead of going to college, and we do. You know,
both of us have master's degrees, and we value education
and we would love for him to get the college experience.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So at least I would so.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
But I will say the more and more we've talked
about it, growing up, college was always a given, Like
for my kids, it was like, my kids will go
to college because I felt like that was something that
my parents instilled in me. And more and more I've
had conversations with people. We've talked about it, like the
(10:33):
trades and firefighting, and there's not one specific route that
you like, is the norm anymore? I feel like there's
so many options.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, I think I encourage him, you know, while you're
young to do all the things that you can only
do while you're young. Like, if he wants to continue
to try to play hockey, then he should do that now,
because that's like opportunities fall off the table as you
grow older. Yeah, And so to be able to take
advantage of all of those now and then, like navigating
(11:06):
the career world or the professional world is difficult, just
because there's so many things changing daily with everything from
artificial intelligence and what the impact that has on jobs,
and like if just from a big picture, like high
level view that I have, I certainly don't have to
(11:28):
know a ton about it, but it seems like computers
are taking over or capable of taking over a lot
of the intellectual side of work, which is what you
go to college for. And so you're kind of wondering, well,
are you just going to college to learn something that
computer could do for you and trying to integrate you know,
I mean it's always been that way, even since just
(11:51):
calculators were invented. You just people just need to figure
out how to work with the the latest technology, and
that's kind of an unknown at this point. So don't
I don't worry too much about either of our kids.
I think they're both very capable people, and their heads
(12:13):
are on straight and they both like, you know, just
thinking about Max in particular, because he just turned eighteen,
in his future outside of our house is closer than Blakesley's.
But I think he's got he's just so well rounded,
and he's he's really developed a lot of maturity over
(12:37):
the last few years, and I think that he's going
to be fine whatever he does. And then and then
Blakesley's a sixteen year old girl, and it's a little
bit harder at least for me to sort of see
any kind of like I don't think she's really even
thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, I think she has a little bit, just
because she you know, talks about dancing or modeling or
you know, fashion or whatever, and I bring it up
all the time, like, you know, about college, and we've
looked at a couple of colleges. So I think just
naturally it comes from that conversation of mom nagging and
saying like, you know, what do you want to do?
(13:13):
What do you want to do?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah, no, I get it. But like where were we
we were driving home from Max's birthday dinner, Yeah, and
we saw a Bronco and she's always wanted a Bronco
and she's like, you know, Dad, actually I kind of
like g wagons better.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
No, I was like, okay, well who doesn't so does.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Everyone, but that's going to have to be like that's
where her mind is. This is sure I want she
wants to be successful. I just don't know that she
knows in what yet.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
So yeah, she doesn't get the reality of the situation
quite yet.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
One thing we know is that she will not be
getting a g wagon from us. So dinner is you know,
for Max's birthday.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
The guilt is alive and well in me because I
wasn't there.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I was wondering if you were going to bring that
Oh you.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I mean, hello reality. I'm I definitely feel guilty that
I wasn't there. I as you know, I feel like
it's really important to take advantage of opportunities and spend
time with friends, and that's kind of me time and
(14:40):
got invited to go to Caitlin Bristow's fortieth birthday celebration
in Cabo, and of course just so happened to be
when our son turned eighteen years old, so.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
His last birthday at our.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Would you stop that No, not true, because next year
he will be at home before he goes away.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Maybe there's no guarantees.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Like you have to add on, like just add on
to that guilt bit. You're doing a real good job
of that.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's my job.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
It's not your job. It's your job to.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Support one of the parents. Was able to get oh
day off working, spend the eighteenth birthday with.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Like, you haven't missed a birthday.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
In eighteenth it's a big one.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
AnyWho.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Anyway, what are you saying about your trip to Mexico?
Didn't you take? Calen's birthday was in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Kaln's birthday was in Mexico in Cabo. Her mom owns
a house there and was very generous and letting us
and hosting us and letting us stay there. I don't
think I told you this, but her mom was going
to be there and her appendix burst. Yeah, so she
(15:53):
couldn't be there unfortunately. So shout out to Leslie. I
wish I could have spent time with you, but oh
she was. She was, you know, trying to get healthy. Anyway,
we had an incredible girls trip and I really do
feel like it is important for me to I haven't had.
I haven't done anything this summer, Like you went to
(16:16):
have a soupe, falls, you went to like on backpacking
trips or whatever with both of the kids, and I
just I haven't done anything. And I was like, this
is the one. And I asked you guys before I
booked the Chickens.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Well, and you were invited to all of those trips.
It's just those that's not really your thing.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Oh no, no, no, someone needed to stay home with
Coda because Max was working when you went to have
a supe.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You couldn't take him.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Remember what you just said about him being our baby. Yeah,
so anyway, I thank you for.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Being semi supportive of the trip.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It really was like, you know, for me, social stuff
fills my bucket.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
You know that.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Girlfriends fill my bucket, and I didn't. I only knew,
Like I obviously I know Caitlin. It's her birthday and
that's why I got invited, but because I'm a friend.
But I only knew a couple of them because one
has been had been on The Better Et cetera podcast
that I used to do, and I was on her podcast,
(17:34):
Aaron Trelore, and then Cleo is like her, you know
she works with with Caitlin on her Spade and Sparrows brand,
so we had we had talked. I had never met
Whitney Angel, who is Crystal's.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Chosen person.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
They got engaged but then uh separated and I adore
her Shay who's one of her best friends from growing up,
Jess one of her friends from growing up, and then
who am I missing Kat who's like herbestie in Nashville,
And just to be able to meet new friends that
(18:11):
we were like all on the same page, like the
same wavelength. I feel like we all are very interested
in like deep connection and conversation, and it was just easy.
It was one of those trips where everyone got along
so well and it was just easy.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
There was no drama.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Shay had everything like planned out to the nines, so
didn't have to even think about anything and could just
go and have fun. We dressed up like Abuela's one night,
which was so fun, and Leslie had arranged for a
mariachi band to come and serenade us, which was hysterical.
I cannot wait for Caitlin to post our TikTok that
(18:56):
we did, which was so much fun. Like I love
I Love feeling young when I'm definitely not. Like I
was the old, the old abuela of the group and.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
You didn't even have to dress up, really, you just
I know, right.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I totally didn't. I mean literally, if I'd let my
hair grow out, it would all be white anyway. So
I actually was going to say that in the like
the group chat before we left, I'm like, do I
have to really bring anything? Because you know, I am
fifty two years old anyway, Yes, we all dressed up.
I put towels in my under my bra and it
(19:37):
tucked in my underwear just to like give myself a
little extra padding.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Thankfully.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
My friend Kate Cubic had like a Grandma costume like
costume in that she had a cane and a wig
and the glasses with the like beaded Oh my gosh,
it was so funny. So I've put on the glasses
and it has this beaded you know, the beaded thing
that you put herud on your next so they don't
fall off. And I had them hanging in the front
(20:04):
like I because I don't normally wear them. And Whitney
was like we were getting ready, and she was like,
I think that goes in the back, you know, so
that they don't fall off, because the whole purpose of
the beaded necklace thing that goes on your glasses is
you wear them around the back of your neck so
they don't fall off. And I had them in the front,
and I was like, oh, yeah, new to this granny game.
(20:26):
But you'll get it figured out and I'll get it
figured out of it.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And the Majong portion and Majong I'm all about those,
those golden games. I will say we were we were
out to lunch on Max's birthday, and I definitely got emotional.
(20:59):
I was I was definitely teary and sad that I
wasn't with all of you, but think, I'm so thankful
to Blakesley because before I left, you know, this was
my this was my contribution is and usually, as I
will say, I decided I was going to get him
(21:20):
eighteen presents for his eighteenth birthday, went and did all
the shopping, bought the guitar, got bought the sambas, bought
the you know, all the other things and oh the
pool stick, and wrap them all in our closet before
I left, so that Blakesley could just like take them
and set them up and got you know, the banner
(21:42):
out so she could hang that up. So I was
part of it, even though it was in preparation mode.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yeah, I think Max had a Grade eighteenth birthday, So
I don't think it would have been nice to have
you there obviously if you didn't have something else going on.
But I don't think anyone holds it. Again, you were
going to spend that time in Mexico, and we understand
that you that you need and deserve that time and Max,
(22:11):
Max didn't like it, didn't phase him one way or
the other end. So I think it was fortuitous for
me because that vacation day popped up and I was
able to get it, and then he and I were
able to take that backpacking trip and spend some really
quality time together. Blakes had a little bit of time
(22:33):
on her own, and it all kind of worked out,
and then we ended up getting back and going to dinner,
and his buddies came down from the mountains and are
still at our house, so who knows. So I think
it worked out really well for everyone. It was a
(22:53):
great weekend and I think he'll remember it. You'll remember it.
I think it's a good it just worked out. It
was it was good on I don't know a lot
of different fronts, and so yeah, I'm glad you had
a good time and guts to spend that time with
your friends. And I'm glad I got to spend that
time with just Max because I don't get a lot
(23:13):
of that opportunity these days, so A skipped.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah, I agree you guys.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I thought it was really special that you were able
to get time off and that he was willing to
go on this backpacking trip with you, because it's usually
your little adventure buddy Blakesley that goes on those with you.
I really feel like I'm proud of him he like
you've said, over the past few years, but I think
most recently he's really like open to whatever, Like he
(23:43):
doesn't automatically say nah, I just want to hang out
and play video games or like be on my phone.
I feel like he's open to experiencing life more so lately.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, I mean, he was fully engaged in and it
wasn't like I didn't feel like he was there just
to appease me. Yeah, you know, he was. He waded
out into the lake and was looking for fish and
climbing on rocks like he always did when he was little,
And Yeah, he really seemed to embrace the experience and
(24:17):
enjoy it. And I think I anticipate him doing that
on his own in his life, which is what you
hope for as a parent, is that you do all
these things to exemplify the characteristics that you want your
kids to some they live live into and you don't
actually see that happening until this point in their lives. Yeah,
(24:40):
when they start to come around and have an appreciation
for the environment or nature and that sort of stuff,
and they turn into the people that you really hoped
they would turn into as you kind of guided them
along their paths. But you never really know. And so
when you start to see little things like that, like
his whiteboard with the quotes, and yes, his appreciation of
(25:03):
going to and going camping with his friends and all
these sorts of things that, Yeah, at least from my
side of parenting, I always try to sort of encourage
and he's picked up on that, which is kind of
what you hope for.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh he he he loves you, He admires you, he
looks up to you, And I think that you have
done such a good job of instilling that like love
of nature and adventure in him.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
So thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
So going back to Caitlin's birthday, I just have to
say how proud of her I am. She has worked
so hard on herself and puts so much work. Again,
there's a place called Hoffman that I feel like she's
been to. I so want to go. Like it is
(26:07):
like deep dive into self growth, if you will. I
don't know if that's a good way to describe it,
but from what I understand, it seems so powerful and
like helping you get through trauma and any issues that
(26:29):
you work on or need to work on in yourself. Anyway,
I'm just really proud of her and really happy for her.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
She's in such a good place right now.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And one of the girls, Aaron's, she has this podcast
called Raw Beauty Talks I think that's what it's called,
and really is like a life coach, and she asked
Caitlin like every dinner or meal or just when we
were sitting around, we would ask each other questions and
(27:06):
we even did the living card thing that you guys
did for me on my fiftieth you know, she was
there and curse out too.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Which was really special.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But and everyone kind of had the same sentiment that
they were happy for her and proud of her for
you know, what she's done to work on herself and
her anxiety and all of that. And she talks openly
about this, so it's not like I'm you know, giving
(27:37):
up any secrets that she has. But Aaron asked this question, like,
what do you hope in this next chapter of your life?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
What do you hope for yourself? And she said.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
That she's really in the mode of protecting her peace,
which I was like, that is I love that. And actually,
I'm putting together a real that I'm going to put
out today, and I've found a song that literally says
in it about protecting your piece. I think it's called
Queen Energy, and I was like, this is the perfect song.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
So I'm just so proud of her.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I'm I'm I feel really blessed and grateful to have
been extended the invitation to be part of her celebration.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I mean, she.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Celebrated a lot. This was like her last, her last
celebration for her fortieth birthday, and I feel really lucky
that I got to be a part of it, because
I you know, she gets a lot of criticism, and
I think she's a wonderful, beautiful human being, and I
(28:51):
love surrounding myself with people like that, all of.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
You guys that have been the focus of these shows,
and it seems so funny to be talking about the
Bachelor after twenty whatever some years, But everybody that's put
themselves out there has had, especially lately, has had they
have an increased level of criticism from the world because
the world's just more critical than when we were on it.
(29:16):
There were forever less avenues of criticism, so that helped us.
But I think it's hard for people like Caitlin, who
are great people, but people can pick them apart and
it's impossible to not let that get to you. So
for her and anyone who's going through those types of struggles,
(29:36):
it's great to find places like Hoffman or just people
you can talk to or avenues that you can do
some introspection and put some perspective on your life and
realize that the people that matter are the ones that
go to your fortieth birthday party, that actually skip their
eighteen year old son's birthday party to go to your
fortieth birthday party because they care so much about you
(30:00):
in your future. And that's what more people need, is
just whether your support group is one or one hundred,
everybody just needs somebody that they can kind of go
to to regain their perspective and purpose and that sort
of stuff. And so I'm glad that you were able
(30:20):
to be a part of that for her, and I
hope that she can continue to take this momentum moving
forward and really do great things with her life. I'm
sure she will. She's an awesome person. So I'm glad
you were able to be a part of that.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I felt like it was it was just good energy,
like really good positive energy. And I know you saw,
but I got her. She loves playing cards and I
had every girl send five or six pictures of them
with her, and I had playing cards made for her,
(30:58):
and she loved it, like with everybody's pictures on them,
she loved it. So just to be able to shower
her with love, because I always feel like she showers
me with so much love. Like I remember when I
was sick and she sent flowers like and I was
just I was sick. It's not like my appendix burst
or anything. So like just I adore you, Caitlin, if
(31:21):
you're listening, and I just wish you know the world
saw more of that positive light and energy in you
that I see.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
But happy fortieth birthday.

You know how much I love pickleball.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Yes I do.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And so here you are.

Tell the people what you were playing in before I
got you court shoes.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I don't remember, I don't know. You don't need to
be like super big.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You clearly have not been to my league. Clearly Epic
pick a Ball shout out to Epic Pickleball in Littleton, Colorado.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
No, it is serious business, s babe, and you have
to get into the mindset because we are playing in
a tournament today and we are winning.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I know, okay, I'm not worried about it. I think
I can handle it. I mean, it was pickleball to
as far as I understand, was, if not started, at
least made popular by a population usually over sixty five.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
So I feel usually not anymore, and I.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Know it's I know it's caught on with the younger generation.
I actually feel bad for the older folks that started
it and had this kind of to themselves. Yeah right,
and then people like you have come along and made
it really popular and ruined it for all the old
old folks. So I hope you're proud of yourself with
you and your pickball.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Well, you know, I am getting up there in age, yeah, true,
fifty two.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I'm glad you actually found something that you enjoy doing.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I love pickleball, and it's really for me obviously. It's
good girl time. Like we get together with you know,
some of our friends who are couples and we get
to play and I I just love it. I you know,
almost famous we usually do in all the iHeart podcasts.
We usually do like golf tournaments, and I don't play golf,
(04:10):
And I was like, hmm, could we please do a
pickleball tournament because that's something that I really love. And
I know that there are tons of Bachelor Nation people
and of course all of the rest of the people,
Real Housewives, all of the iHeart Podcast people who love
pickleball just as much as me. So I'm really excited
(04:31):
we are actually having a tournament. So there's like tears
you know, people.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
That we know or is this yes, like a world world.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yes, we're going to dominate the world.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
People the.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Top, Maybe we should, maybe there's a new idea.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
No, it is just us. It's all the people who
are here for this event.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
So I feel more confident in our in our potential.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yes, Deanna has never played before, right, so, and I
think Bob and Canyon played once.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Well, sometimes people that haven't played are the ones that
you got to look out.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You're so right, especially with that big arm wingspand that
Bob has, so yeah, we got to watch out for them. Yeah,
we're watching out for you, Bob and Canyon.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
And then there's the Goldens, who I know will be
bringing it today.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Yeah, it's their sport.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Okay, So who are you excited to see?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I know you probably don't even know most of the
people but.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
I don't know who's coming. I mean, I always I'm
always excited to see Bob. Yeah, and I've already seen
him and we were both up early this morning, so
they got to catch up with him a little bit
and hear about his sort of wild travelers try and
get here. It seemed like it was difficult for everyone
to get here, including us, took a little longer than Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I think it was about the storms that he actually
experienced firsthand. But I think that's why we were delayed. Yeah, yeah,
because we had a little bit of a travel date.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We were supposed to leave Denver at four of seven pm,
and I don't know how many times did it get
pushed back?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Five maybe?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Anyway, we got here all as well, and it's beautiful
and more excited to be here. So what do you
love about Lake Tahoe? Like, I know what I love
and I just kind of specified, But what.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Do you like about time?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I just like all mountain areas. Yeah, I don't. I
think the first time did I or we came here
was when I used to do the extra triathlons and
this one was the national championship for a while. So
we came to that a couple of times, and then
and then it's been a while. All I came and
(07:00):
took a swift water certification class in Trucky a few
years ago to get instructors certified in that, and then
we came a few years ago with the almost famous people,
so I haven't spent a lot of time. It's and
it's funny because I was talking to Bob's wife. She
used to be a snowboarder and she would come up
(07:22):
here in snowboard in school. I mean, she was competitive,
so she would come up here and she had said
she had never been up here in the summertime. And
I don't think I've ever been up here in the.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Winter time, so true, which we haven't.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Crazy, So I love it as a summer destination. I've
never been here in the winter. And the lake obviously
is a big part of it.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
It's beautiful, gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
One of my favorite pictures with Max, with us and
Max is when we were here for the most famous
thing and we stune on the dock, so.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Pretty out there.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, I feel like the same thing, like about the mountains.
You know in Vale they say you come for the winter,
but you stay for the summer. I feel like summer
is so underrated and should not be, even though I
probably shouldn't be telling people that because then, you know,
the mountains will just kept popular.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
And yeah, I think it's pretty popular.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
True true story. And we have a little getaway without
the kids. Hopefully they are taking care of their responsibilities,
including our dog.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I read them this morning about feeding Coda, and I
don't think they haven't.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Really know they did. He just did.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
While we've been talking. Max said that blakesleeve at him
and I did say, make sure you get up, make
sure you walk Coda.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Like, yeah, I don't worry about them. I mean, they'll
do what they're going to do, and they're old enough to,
you know, sort of manage on their own. But yeah,
that poor little dog needs attention and he usually gets
it from me and I'm not there, so I don't
worry about it. Like he's like the little kid now
in our family because our little kids aren't little kids anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
No, they're not speaking of our baby boy just turned
eighteen years old.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Yeah I cannot.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I still can't believe that we actually have an adult
like he isn't he's official, Yeah, wanted he still leave babe,
I mean, I mean, buddy, Please don't.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Leave, Please don't leave me.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, it's going to be really interesting to see what
his future entails at Blakesley too, obviously, but he is
right on the precipice. You know, He's got one more
year of school and then we'll see what happens. You know,
for everybody out there, he plays hockey. He would love
to play hockey after high school. But that's a whole
(09:57):
ball game in itself. You have to go to juniors
instead of going to college, and we do. You know,
both of us have master's degrees, and we value education
and we would love for him to get the college experience.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So at least I would so.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
But I will say the more and more we've talked
about it, growing up, college was always a given, Like
for my kids, it was like, my kids will go
to college because I felt like that was something that
my parents instilled in me. And more and more I've
had conversations with people. We've talked about it, like the
(10:33):
trades and firefighting, and there's not one specific route that
you like, is the norm anymore? I feel like there's
so many options.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, I think I encourage him, you know, while you're
young to do all the things that you can only
do while you're young. Like, if he wants to continue
to try to play hockey, then he should do that now,
because that's like opportunities fall off the table as you
grow older. Yeah, And so to be able to take
advantage of all of those now and then, like navigating
(11:06):
the career world or the professional world is difficult, just
because there's so many things changing daily with everything from
artificial intelligence and what the impact that has on jobs,
and like if just from a big picture, like high
level view that I have, I certainly don't have to
(11:28):
know a ton about it, but it seems like computers
are taking over or capable of taking over a lot
of the intellectual side of work, which is what you
go to college for. And so you're kind of wondering, well,
are you just going to college to learn something that
computer could do for you and trying to integrate you know,
I mean it's always been that way, even since just
(11:51):
calculators were invented. You just people just need to figure
out how to work with the the latest technology, and
that's kind of an unknown at this point. So don't
I don't worry too much about either of our kids.
I think they're both very capable people, and their heads
(12:13):
are on straight and they both like, you know, just
thinking about Max in particular, because he just turned eighteen,
in his future outside of our house is closer than Blakesley's.
But I think he's got he's just so well rounded,
and he's he's really developed a lot of maturity over
(12:37):
the last few years, and I think that he's going
to be fine whatever he does. And then and then
Blakesley's a sixteen year old girl, and it's a little
bit harder at least for me to sort of see
any kind of like I don't think she's really even
thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, I think she has a little bit, just
because she you know, talks about dancing or modeling or
you know, fashion or whatever, and I bring it up
all the time, like, you know, about college, and we've
looked at a couple of colleges. So I think just
naturally it comes from that conversation of mom nagging and
saying like, you know, what do you want to do?
(13:13):
What do you want to do?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah, no, I get it. But like where were we
we were driving home from Max's birthday dinner, Yeah, and
we saw a Bronco and she's always wanted a Bronco
and she's like, you know, Dad, actually I kind of
like g wagons better.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
No, I was like, okay, well who doesn't so does.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Everyone, but that's going to have to be like that's
where her mind is. This is sure I want she
wants to be successful. I just don't know that she
knows in what yet.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
So yeah, she doesn't get the reality of the situation
quite yet.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
One thing we know is that she will not be
getting a g wagon from us. So dinner is you know,
for Max's birthday.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
The guilt is alive and well in me because I
wasn't there.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I was wondering if you were going to bring that
Oh you.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I mean, hello reality. I'm I definitely feel guilty that
I wasn't there. I as you know, I feel like
it's really important to take advantage of opportunities and spend
time with friends, and that's kind of me time and
(14:40):
got invited to go to Caitlin Bristow's fortieth birthday celebration
in Cabo, and of course just so happened to be
when our son turned eighteen years old, so.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
His last birthday at our.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Would you stop that No, not true, because next year
he will be at home before he goes away.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Maybe there's no guarantees.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Like you have to add on, like just add on
to that guilt bit. You're doing a real good job
of that.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's my job.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
It's not your job. It's your job to.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Support one of the parents. Was able to get oh
day off working, spend the eighteenth birthday with.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Like, you haven't missed a birthday.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
In eighteenth it's a big one.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
AnyWho.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
Anyway, what are you saying about your trip to Mexico?
Didn't you take? Calen's birthday was in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Kaln's birthday was in Mexico in Cabo. Her mom owns
a house there and was very generous and letting us
and hosting us and letting us stay there. I don't
think I told you this, but her mom was going
to be there and her appendix burst. Yeah, so she
(15:53):
couldn't be there unfortunately. So shout out to Leslie. I
wish I could have spent time with you, but oh
she was. She was, you know, trying to get healthy. Anyway,
we had an incredible girls trip and I really do
feel like it is important for me to I haven't had.
I haven't done anything this summer, Like you went to
(16:16):
have a soupe, falls, you went to like on backpacking
trips or whatever with both of the kids, and I
just I haven't done anything. And I was like, this
is the one. And I asked you guys before I
booked the Chickens.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Well, and you were invited to all of those trips.
It's just those that's not really your thing.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Oh no, no, no, someone needed to stay home with
Coda because Max was working when you went to have
a supe.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You couldn't take him.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Remember what you just said about him being our baby. Yeah,
so anyway, I thank you for.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Being semi supportive of the trip.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It really was like, you know, for me, social stuff
fills my bucket.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
You know that.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Girlfriends fill my bucket, and I didn't. I only knew,
Like I obviously I know Caitlin. It's her birthday and
that's why I got invited, but because I'm a friend.
But I only knew a couple of them because one
has been had been on The Better Et cetera podcast
that I used to do, and I was on her podcast,
(17:34):
Aaron Trelore, and then Cleo is like her, you know
she works with with Caitlin on her Spade and Sparrows brand,
so we had we had talked. I had never met
Whitney Angel, who is Crystal's.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Chosen person.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
They got engaged but then uh separated and I adore
her Shay who's one of her best friends from growing up,
Jess one of her friends from growing up, and then
who am I missing Kat who's like herbestie in Nashville,
And just to be able to meet new friends that
(18:11):
we were like all on the same page, like the
same wavelength. I feel like we all are very interested
in like deep connection and conversation, and it was just easy.
It was one of those trips where everyone got along
so well and it was just easy.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
There was no drama.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Shay had everything like planned out to the nines, so
didn't have to even think about anything and could just
go and have fun. We dressed up like Abuela's one night,
which was so fun, and Leslie had arranged for a
mariachi band to come and serenade us, which was hysterical.
I cannot wait for Caitlin to post our TikTok that
(18:56):
we did, which was so much fun. Like I love
I Love feeling young when I'm definitely not. Like I
was the old, the old abuela of the group and.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
You didn't even have to dress up, really, you just
I know, right.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
I totally didn't. I mean literally, if I'd let my
hair grow out, it would all be white anyway. So
I actually was going to say that in the like
the group chat before we left, I'm like, do I
have to really bring anything? Because you know, I am
fifty two years old anyway, Yes, we all dressed up.
I put towels in my under my bra and it
(19:37):
tucked in my underwear just to like give myself a
little extra padding.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Thankfully.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
My friend Kate Cubic had like a Grandma costume like
costume in that she had a cane and a wig
and the glasses with the like beaded Oh my gosh,
it was so funny. So I've put on the glasses
and it has this beaded you know, the beaded thing
that you put herud on your next so they don't
fall off. And I had them hanging in the front
(20:04):
like I because I don't normally wear them. And Whitney
was like we were getting ready, and she was like,
I think that goes in the back, you know, so
that they don't fall off, because the whole purpose of
the beaded necklace thing that goes on your glasses is
you wear them around the back of your neck so
they don't fall off. And I had them in the front,
and I was like, oh, yeah, new to this granny game.
(20:26):
But you'll get it figured out and I'll get it
figured out of it.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And the Majong portion and Majong I'm all about those,
those golden games. I will say we were we were
out to lunch on Max's birthday, and I definitely got emotional.
(20:59):
I was I was definitely teary and sad that I
wasn't with all of you, but think, I'm so thankful
to Blakesley because before I left, you know, this was
my this was my contribution is and usually, as I
will say, I decided I was going to get him
(21:20):
eighteen presents for his eighteenth birthday, went and did all
the shopping, bought the guitar, got bought the sambas, bought
the you know, all the other things and oh the
pool stick, and wrap them all in our closet before
I left, so that Blakesley could just like take them
and set them up and got you know, the banner
(21:42):
out so she could hang that up. So I was
part of it, even though it was in preparation mode.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Yeah, I think Max had a Grade eighteenth birthday, So
I don't think it would have been nice to have
you there obviously if you didn't have something else going on.
But I don't think anyone holds it. Again, you were
going to spend that time in Mexico, and we understand
that you that you need and deserve that time and Max,
(22:11):
Max didn't like it, didn't phase him one way or
the other end. So I think it was fortuitous for
me because that vacation day popped up and I was
able to get it, and then he and I were
able to take that backpacking trip and spend some really
quality time together. Blakes had a little bit of time
(22:33):
on her own, and it all kind of worked out,
and then we ended up getting back and going to dinner,
and his buddies came down from the mountains and are
still at our house, so who knows. So I think
it worked out really well for everyone. It was a
(22:53):
great weekend and I think he'll remember it. You'll remember it.
I think it's a good it just worked out. It
was it was good on I don't know a lot
of different fronts, and so yeah, I'm glad you had
a good time and guts to spend that time with
your friends. And I'm glad I got to spend that
time with just Max because I don't get a lot
(23:13):
of that opportunity these days, so A skipped.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah, I agree you guys.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I thought it was really special that you were able
to get time off and that he was willing to
go on this backpacking trip with you, because it's usually
your little adventure buddy Blakesley that goes on those with you.
I really feel like I'm proud of him he like
you've said, over the past few years, but I think
most recently he's really like open to whatever, Like he
(23:43):
doesn't automatically say nah, I just want to hang out
and play video games or like be on my phone.
I feel like he's open to experiencing life more so lately.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, I mean, he was fully engaged in and it
wasn't like I didn't feel like he was there just
to appease me. Yeah, you know, he was. He waded
out into the lake and was looking for fish and
climbing on rocks like he always did when he was little,
And Yeah, he really seemed to embrace the experience and
(24:17):
enjoy it. And I think I anticipate him doing that
on his own in his life, which is what you
hope for as a parent, is that you do all
these things to exemplify the characteristics that you want your
kids to some they live live into and you don't
actually see that happening until this point in their lives. Yeah,
(24:40):
when they start to come around and have an appreciation
for the environment or nature and that sort of stuff,
and they turn into the people that you really hoped
they would turn into as you kind of guided them
along their paths. But you never really know. And so
when you start to see little things like that, like
his whiteboard with the quotes, and yes, his appreciation of
(25:03):
going to and going camping with his friends and all
these sorts of things that, Yeah, at least from my
side of parenting, I always try to sort of encourage
and he's picked up on that, which is kind of
what you hope for.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh he he he loves you, He admires you, he
looks up to you, And I think that you have
done such a good job of instilling that like love
of nature and adventure in him.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
So thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
So going back to Caitlin's birthday, I just have to
say how proud of her I am. She has worked
so hard on herself and puts so much work. Again,
there's a place called Hoffman that I feel like she's
been to. I so want to go. Like it is
(26:07):
like deep dive into self growth, if you will. I
don't know if that's a good way to describe it,
but from what I understand, it seems so powerful and
like helping you get through trauma and any issues that
(26:29):
you work on or need to work on in yourself. Anyway,
I'm just really proud of her and really happy for her.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
She's in such a good place right now.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And one of the girls, Aaron's, she has this podcast
called Raw Beauty Talks I think that's what it's called,
and really is like a life coach, and she asked
Caitlin like every dinner or meal or just when we
were sitting around, we would ask each other questions and
(27:06):
we even did the living card thing that you guys
did for me on my fiftieth you know, she was
there and curse out too.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Which was really special.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But and everyone kind of had the same sentiment that
they were happy for her and proud of her for
you know, what she's done to work on herself and
her anxiety and all of that. And she talks openly
about this, so it's not like I'm you know, giving
(27:37):
up any secrets that she has. But Aaron asked this question, like,
what do you hope in this next chapter of your life?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
What do you hope for yourself? And she said.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
That she's really in the mode of protecting her peace,
which I was like, that is I love that. And actually,
I'm putting together a real that I'm going to put
out today, and I've found a song that literally says
in it about protecting your piece. I think it's called
Queen Energy, and I was like, this is the perfect song.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
So I'm just so proud of her.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
I'm I'm I feel really blessed and grateful to have
been extended the invitation to be part of her celebration.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I mean, she.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Celebrated a lot. This was like her last, her last
celebration for her fortieth birthday, and I feel really lucky
that I got to be a part of it, because
I you know, she gets a lot of criticism, and
I think she's a wonderful, beautiful human being, and I
(28:51):
love surrounding myself with people like that, all of.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
You guys that have been the focus of these shows,
and it seems so funny to be talking about the
Bachelor after twenty whatever some years, But everybody that's put
themselves out there has had, especially lately, has had they
have an increased level of criticism from the world because
the world's just more critical than when we were on it.
(29:16):
There were forever less avenues of criticism, so that helped us.
But I think it's hard for people like Caitlin, who
are great people, but people can pick them apart and
it's impossible to not let that get to you. So
for her and anyone who's going through those types of struggles,
(29:36):
it's great to find places like Hoffman or just people
you can talk to or avenues that you can do
some introspection and put some perspective on your life and
realize that the people that matter are the ones that
go to your fortieth birthday party, that actually skip their
eighteen year old son's birthday party to go to your
fortieth birthday party because they care so much about you
(30:00):
in your future. And that's what more people need, is
just whether your support group is one or one hundred,
everybody just needs somebody that they can kind of go
to to regain their perspective and purpose and that sort
of stuff. And so I'm glad that you were able
(30:20):
to be a part of that for her, and I
hope that she can continue to take this momentum moving
forward and really do great things with her life. I'm
sure she will. She's an awesome person. So I'm glad
you were able to be a part of that.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I felt like it was it was just good energy,
like really good positive energy. And I know you saw,
but I got her. She loves playing cards and I
had every girl send five or six pictures of them
with her, and I had playing cards made for her,
(30:58):
and she loved it, like with everybody's pictures on them,
she loved it. So just to be able to shower
her with love, because I always feel like she showers
me with so much love. Like I remember when I
was sick and she sent flowers like and I was
just I was sick. It's not like my appendix burst
or anything. So like just I adore you, Caitlin, if
(31:21):
you're listening, and I just wish you know the world
saw more of that positive light and energy in you
that I see.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
But happy fortieth birthday.
