Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan, Part.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
One, behind a scene with a member of the show.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Happy Happy Weekend, No, no, no no.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
I don't know the rest of the words. I just
know the beat to it.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
What is that from?

Speaker 4 (00:18):
Oh oh whatever? My bad memories?

Speaker 3 (00:21):
That's what I rem softball and or like a happy birthday?
Is it a happy birthday song?

Speaker 4 (00:27):
That's a right to do. When I was a server,
I was like, happy happy birthday from all of us
to you. Where was it?

Speaker 3 (00:31):
It was like Chili's or something. It feels like it
was one of those chain restaurants I knew, I rob
okay there it was, well, happy weekend. We just did
the happy birthday song weekend.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
That's so funny. Way is that what it's from? Don't
you said it was softball?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
I maybe I remembered it with softball, but I think
they made chance to it. I don't know where the
origin of that comes from, if it's a happy birthday
song or if it's.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
An origin of something else that's funny.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
You know. Obviously, the like origin happy birthday song that
I know is happy birth So I don't know if
that one is.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
But anyways, Abby joins me this week, Hey, what's up.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
I appreciated that you just jumped in with me and
you knew it. And it was just like a beat
that had come to my head and I recalled, you know,
and random things just come to your head. You're like, oh,
I forgot I knew that.

Speaker 4 (01:16):
Oh yeah, they come to my head all the time.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, that was one of those moments random. So it
was a red robin happy birthday song, happy weekend song,
all things ectively funny. And that brings me to the
first thing I want to talk about, because we just
used our free will so correctly. There's this huge concept
talking on online lately of people talking about their free will.
You become an adult and you get to have your

(01:39):
own free will to do things that nobody can really
stop you from doing. Right, that's free will, and so
this concept has been kind of floating around ulately, and
I've just been thinking about my life and how I've
not been using my own free will correctly. Well, you know,
when you get a pair of tennis shoes or sneakers,
you're really excited about them and you just immediately go
and wear them. I realized I don't have to wear

(02:02):
the shoelaces that come with them. Hah.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
There are so many shoelaces that I can put in
shoes that aren't just like the boring normal ones that
come with it. And you know what sparked all this,
So my I was getting my ceremony shoes, which I'm
not wearing heels. I'm wearing sneakers, and I got like
plain white sneakers and I was like trying to do
our wedding color.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
And then I was like, that feels weird.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
And I was just experimenting with laces and I was like,
as I was doing it, I realize I have never
done this with any of my other shoes, But how
cool would it make the other shoes to do it?

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Oh my gosh. You know what's funny that you brought
this up. The other day? I had on like shoes
and the shoelaces are too long. They drag, yes, you know,
and I was like yeah, and there's just like getting dirty.
And a coworker was like, you know you can change them,
like oh, like, oh yeah you can, yes, but yeah,
I've never even thought of that, right, And I just don't.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Maybe it's free. Well, maybe it's like I'm not just
not creative enough. Maybe my brain just doesn't go there.
I don't know what it is that is.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
So you can change an entire shoe, because yeah, I
just have like so many plain white ones.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
You can clean Like I say, you have an old
pair and you've worn it out, you can clean that pair,
get it like pretty back to brand new, change the
laces to something fun, and have a whole different shoe.
My ceremony money shoes are gonna have full on sparkle shoelaces.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Oh that's awesome. I didn't even know those existed me neither.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
I'm in a whole new world now and now I'm
looking at everything else in my life, Like where have
I used my free will incorrectly?

Speaker 4 (03:35):
Right?

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (03:36):
I have one? Okay, yeah, something come to mind. So,
like I have my own house right that I've had
since like twenty eighteen, and I was like, I've never
painted a wall.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
That's that's the thing.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
Like they're white, Like why I had? So I finally
like two years ago or so I painted like.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
The door, your front door or yeah, but the inside.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
Of it not yet. We can't change the outside because
I'm on the hoa joy. Yeah, but I was like,
wait a minute, why did I not do all the
creative colors. Now I don't live there anymore, so I don't,
but I'm like, that is so that right there? Why
have all the white walls because we've I've rented my
whole life and you can't paint.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yep, And you can't even put nails and walls sometimes
when you rent, right.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
But a you can do anything. You can literally do anything.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yep. Yeah. Like it's almost like we're understanding that we
can break this invisible freewheel freewheel wall that exists because
of somebody, and we learned that we can do it.
And that is totally true. All of my walls are
the same color that I gotten besides my podcast room.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Oh really, Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Finally like change those to a green cor and I'm
obsessed with that room because it's a different color. But
tell me why I can't then go to the other
rooms of my house and be like, well, let's just
change one of these colors. I can't. It's like there's
something that stops me from being able to do it.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Oh my gosh. Yeah. Also, like my fiance his kids,
he'll be like, Okay, you can have a piece of
candy if you eat all your dinner and so like
that's kind of in my head. And then they go
to bed and I'm like, wait a minute, that doesn't
apply to me. I can go eat whatever I want
for dinner. Yeah. If I want ice cream, I can
go get it right now.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
You start acting like because these are my rolls too.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
She's like in my head, I'm like, did I eat
all my dinner? Oh, it doesn't matter. I could do
whatever I want.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
That's so real though, because we do. I still do
that as an adult. I'm like, I have to have
some good food first before I have my sweet treat.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
But when I was a kid, you know, it's so funny,
and I don't know if that's you know, you become
an adult and your foot put in society and you
fall under the societal standards or whatever. But when I
was a kid in high school, my favorite thing to
do was go to restaurants and order dessert first. It
was yes. I would go to Applebee's. Okay, they have
a triple chocolate melt down. That was my favorite dessert.

(05:54):
And I would go there and I would order it first,
and I would eat dessert first.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Oh my god, and.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Then I'd save room for food for whatever room I had,
But really the dessert is what matter to me.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
What I wanted, that's so I would eat it first.
I never got desserts at restaurants. It was never a
thing like we that's a family trait.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
It is, So did your family not order appetizer, sodas dessert?

Speaker 4 (06:16):
No, never even appetizers, Like we're just like, no, we're full.
Like anytime the bill would come, it wasn't even we
didn't even look. They're like, do you need a dessert menu?
I'm like no.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
That never growing up, so you went straight to restaurants.
It was a water, it was a meal.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, gone, Yeah, is that crazy? That is creaty because
we'd always be so full. I mean like if they
we would go to places they had bread or you know,
like a Mexican restaurant, chips and salsa. But when it
came to desserts, I'm stuffed like that, I can't.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
It's so funny how much our families play that role
and how you do it. So, how do you do
it with your fiance and his kids?

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, like he'll be like, do you guys want like
ice cream or something? Or he'll want to look at
the dessert menu, and I'm like, what can we go?

Speaker 3 (06:55):
It's time to leave, It's time to wrap this party
up now.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
I'm like, you guys have room for meal. I always
take half a mind to go. I don't know, I
just I guess don't eat that much. But yeah, it's
wild to think of everybody's like different, like dessert menus.
I'm like, those don't even exist, and then you're over
here like ordering them before.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
I was easing my free will correctly in that situation
for a long time. But yeah, when I go to
restaurants now, I will, especially now because when I go
out to a restaurant, I'm trying a new place. That's
always my goal. If we are deciding to go out
to eat, I'm trying somewhere new. Living in a place
like Nashville, there's so many options that if I keep
going back to the same place, there's no point in

(07:33):
me spending money to keep going back to the same
place over and over again. In this type of city,
I will if we have people visiting, there's a favorite,
you know, we're really craving something whatever. But if we
just decide on a random Friday to go out to dinner,
it has to come from one of the new restaurant
lists that I have in my phone, And when I
go to one of these, I have to try everything
to know if it's a full experience, because there are

(07:54):
some places I love strictly for their dessert, some places
I love strictly for their appetizers. I love the entire meal.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Oh my gosh, that's amazing.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
And then I create a list of that of like,
this is the best for this type of thing.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
If you want just dessert, get this here.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
If you want to have like a fun happy hour appetizers,
get this there.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
And I've curated my own little thing from that.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, but that's become a thing for me, And I
think it's because my parents very much were also.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Foodies in a way.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
Foodies mean we you know, growing up in which Da
we had Olive Garden and very seldom mom and pop places.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
It was mostly chained restaurants. So yeah, we moved to
the same places all the time.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah, Like I think we went to Olive Garden all
the time, and then on the border and then we
had one mom and pop place, which was Timberline, and
another mom and pop place, Red Cajun Buy you real,
Those were the two like local spots.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Did you go to Amarillo Girl? I was really young,
so like it may have been it switched and changed
to something else, but we switched to Timberline after Oh
Amarillo Amrello Girl was so good.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
So did you love ambrell Little Girl more than Timberliness? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:06):
And I was really sad. I was probably like seven
or eight when it switched over. I just loved it.
It was so fun. It was just like that old
country feel, like the way they had it decorated in there.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
And you know, Okay, do you have a favorite restaurant ever?
Do you have a top restaurant in the entire place
of all the places you've ever been lived?

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Oh, my gosh, that's number one, Okay. I I love
Bella Luna. I just love it. I do love Bella
Luna too. That's a good choice. The hummus, you can't
beat it. I any time I get hummus anywhere, I
just compare it to Bella Luna, and I'm like, it's
never gonna live.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Up to it.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
It's just so creamy. I love the salad there. I
always get like the Bella Maggie House salad. It's just
like their Mediterranean salad and it's the best. I'm not
really a foodie. That's the thing that's where we like differ.
Like I'm just so kind of boring, Like I just
love like chicken, like I love a Chipotle rice bowl.
I'm just so simple with like chicken, rice and beans.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
You don't put any of the yummy good stuff on
it. It's just the basics.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
I'm like a little bit of cheese and like the peico.
But I don't go out of my way to be like, oh,
I want to try this new dish. It's kind of boring.
Like for me, it's boring of me that I don't
want to expand out. It's not though. I mean, do
you get bored when you're eating?

Speaker 3 (10:19):
No, So you see, but I wish I was in
that way because it would make my eating habits a
lot easier because I could just keep eating the same
meal all the time. But I get bored with food,
Like I'm not a good meal prepper. I can do
it for about a week of one food and then
I need to change the next week to do something different.
So you can meal prep and you can have the
same thing over and over again and you're fine.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yes, Like when you travel, do you love being like,
oh my gosh, I can't wait to try all these
different restaurants, Like, oh I want to do this, I
want to like scope it out.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yes, oh yeah, that's half of my travel is trying
new food in new places.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
To me, that's so daunting. I'm like, I don't care.
Let's just get your pool life and go explore.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
You go to a new place you've never been, and
you go just yeah, yeah, probably if it's it's the
easiest thing.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
I don't want to like search, I don't want to
wait an hour to get in if it's popular. I'd
rather like see the city than be in a restaurant.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Okay, let me ask you this, because to me, to
know a city, to really explore and understand a city,
is to do something there and eat something there. Those
are my two ways where I'm like, Okay, this is
how I immerse myself into whatever the city has to offer.
What does immersing look like for you?

Speaker 4 (11:26):
Going to a city, like walking around seeing what I
run into? Like I went to Ashville and we just
like walked around, saw the history. There's like a cute
little well, it's like an old arcade. It was an arcade.
At one point it has like a glass ceiling and
it was just so cute to walk through. There was
like a double deck or bus that was coffee. So
I'm kind of that way with coffee. I guess like

(11:47):
you'll try a new coffee shops. Yeah, that's that's more
of my leg vibe.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
I feel like that's a popular one. I think a
lot of people go to new cities and want to
try new coffee.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
Spots because then I get the coffee, I'm in a
good mood. Then I get to walk around and explore.
That's kind of my I like to be like, what
is it when you're like in it immersed just like immerse,
like the.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
You're really immersed into the daily life.

Speaker 4 (12:10):
Yeah, I'd rather be walking and it's seeing what I
can run into and oh that's cute instead of like,
let me see.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Top tier feeling when you're walking around exploring, because I'm
with you.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
I love exploring. That's one of my favorite things.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
But when you're exploring and you stumble upon a really
cute place to have a meal or have a drink
or whatever, and you're like, this is awesome and this
is what the locals going hang out at Do you
do that at all?

Speaker 4 (12:34):
No, mine's usually just like a drink. I like to
see the drink menu. That's fun.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
You're a drinki.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah, yeah, you're a drinki a drinking bar like I
like going to bar. It's cute little where you can
just go and grab a drink and then leave go
to another one. I'd rather bounce around.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
You want to be You want to go to a
city that has open container laws where you can walk around?

Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yeah, you are a drinki. We have discovered your name.
Oh my gosh. You know what we do, Like when
we're out of town, we'll put like white claw in
a coffee cup, like to go one with the lid
on it, like in the hotel and walk around. People
are like, now it's a joke because they're like, oh,
you got some coffee or oh night, you got decalf.
That's smart, and we're like, yeah, got the coffee. So

(13:17):
we're like walking around in the evening. I just love
having just like a cold white claw walking around. It's
any time of year, yeah, oh yeah, even.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
In winter you want a cold white claw?

Speaker 4 (13:27):
Nah? No, not that okay, but like if it's summer, like, oh,
pour me that, let's go.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
That is so funny. And also I know people are
probably listening and they're like, she has a problem. But
like that, if that's your fun thing, I get it,
like I on my vacation.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
I don't do it like after work.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I like you here, here, you have a coffee, a
white claw.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
If you ever see that, you're gonna be like, Abby,
what's in there?

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Yeah? Then at that point I will be sitting you
down checking it on you. How are we doing it?
Does sound like I have a problem, But just on vacation,
that's so fun. I think that's fun to do it,
you know, as long as you're safe and every it's one.
Have you ever spiked coffee while walking around? I feel
like that's the thing people do. No, I don't like
to mix it, no, separate. So you'd have coffee in
one hand and a white cal on the other, you're

(14:10):
the happiest person ever.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
I won't do that. No. I only I like drinking
in the evening. I'm so picky and weird. I don't
like day drinking. You are very specific.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
I mean we've discovered this over the course of time,
fry buds being the most one that we love to
talk about.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
I'm not a day drinker, you have.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
You are very particular about certain things.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
Yeah, I think it's it's just I know what works
for me. And if I start day drinking, I'm just
not gonna I won't last through the night, or I
just won't be productive. I don't want to be like
out of it, you know. I like to be like
present in the moment. And if I start drinking at noon.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
See, but that is where I would come in and say,
to wrap a pretty little bow on this particular topic,
is that you are not using your free will correctly.
Need to switch it up a little bit, you knows,
get a little wild.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Right yea, yeah, we're so, and that it's no, but
it's I love that.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
I love seeing life through outther people's experiences and how
they see life and how they want to enjoy life.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
That's cool to me. I should try. I should try,
you know, looking up some good restaurants.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Stabbling in the restaurants, stabble in the food.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
You're gonna eat really.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
Good at one place. You're like, oh, I've been missing
out this whole time. I promise you you will. I
know I probably will, And then they'll be like, okay,
but I still don't want to put on in the
effort to do this. So like, while I know this,
this is still not my personality. I know it's good,
but at least one place when you go order dessert first,
do you like dessert? Are you a desert person at all?

Speaker 4 (15:38):
Cheesecake?

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Okay, go somewhere and order cheesecake first. Okay, just see
what that experience does like for you, because every time
I did it, I was like a little five year
old kid again, just living my best life. It helps
that I wasn't a meat eater because I would get
a triple charcol melt down and then my meal would
be mazzarellistic.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
So it's not like I was really doing.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Well in the meal area. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
So that was what you call it, crapputarian for a
really long time.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
In my life. Yes, that's what my fiance loves to
call it. He's like I was that way at one
point too. And it is very much a thing you
eat just bad foods instead of because going out to eat,
that's honestly what your options are. If you go to
a place like an Applebee's or somewhere that has like
a barm in you most of the time your options
are appetizers.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
Mm hmmm, that's true.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
That yeah, and I loved it, which is why I
love appetizers. But now that I eat other things is
just grown. Now I have desert appetizers and meals, which
is why I am stuck to only eating.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Out every so often. And we have come full circle.
Oh I love that.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Oh all right, we're gonna take a quick break. We'll
be right back now. Speaking of restaurants, Abby, I have
become I just hit the mic as I was doing that.
I'm wearing a flowy shirt today and I kind of
feel like a bird.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
I see it every time I'm cute, so like thank you,
hlloe and freeings like wings.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
It is like wings, and I felt in that moment
that I had wings until I hit the microphone. I
have become the person I never wanted to become at restaurants,
particularly I don't know what is going on, but as
a vegetarian, I typically do have to change orders, like
I'll get things without meat, and the last four times
I've eaten out somewhere, I've gotten meat on my food,

(17:28):
even though I've specifically stated, please do not put the
meat on my food. How's that happen.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
It's not like a salad with meat and then you
say no meat.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah, sometimes it's a salad, sometimes it's a pasta. I
got a breakfast burrito where I didn't want the bacon
on it. It's any number of things.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
People you know, they.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Love to do that, But what was even wild about
some of them?

Speaker 4 (17:49):
Like the breakfast burrito. I got it.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
It's in my hands and it's labeled no meat.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
I'm like, sweet, I'm so excited.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
I take a bite and I'm like, immediately spit it
out because I could taste there was not only bacon,
there's also sausage.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
What And it was even labeled it was labeled wow meat.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
And I had got it like with my fiance and
I was like, well, check yours, make sure you're like
yours isn't the vegetarian one.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
And he took a bite and his was also meat.
I was like, I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
I don't I don't get it. But now I have
in all of these scenarios because I'm tired of spending
money if I'm not getting what I I can't even
eat something if you give me stuff with meat on it.
And so I've been sending things back and.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
You're a Karen. Yeah, you're officially a Karen.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
I am no.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
I don't know. I don't know if that warrants that.
Like when you tell them no meat, do you say
I'm a vegetarian or you just say like, no meat please?

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Well, every time, at least lately, I think with a
lot of people's dietary restrictions now, a lot of servers
come over and they're like, do you guys have any
special diet restrictions or anything we need to be aware of,
And every time that happens, well, I have to also
be like, if you also can do gluten free too,
that'd be great, But most of the time they can't.
So I'm like, I'm vegetarian. I just if I order

(19:02):
something that might have it, let me know. Because also
there's some places I go to with a menu where
I cannot read everything and understand what the ingredients are.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
So I'm just like, is that what it's sane?

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Can I have that? And so I typically tell them
up front it's not like an unknown thing. So not
only that, it's I couldn't imagine being somebody, what's that
meat thing where you can't eat meat?

Speaker 4 (19:25):
I forget I had that you're like allergic to it.
It just comes out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
And if you go to a place and you order
something without meat and you take a bite and it
has meat, and it could literally kill you, uh huh.
Thankfully I'm not one of those, but like, I feel
like there's just certain things you have to be.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
Very aware of.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
It's not happening lately.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Is that awkward? Sending it back?

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Though?

Speaker 4 (19:45):
So awkward? Awkward?

Speaker 3 (19:48):
I feel horrible every time I'm like, can you please
give me another one of these without meat? And they're
like oh, and they're normally so apologetic, but I just
like wish it didn't even have to happen in the
first place, you know.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Yeah, Oh that happens all the time to me, and
I never send it back. Really, oh all the time?

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Do you eat it or do you just not eat?

Speaker 4 (20:05):
No, Like, if it's I'll get like a girl chicken
sandwich or salad, you know, girl chicken on it and
they brought fried chicken, and I'll just eat it. I
don't like to be that one to send it back.
And my fiance is like, just send it back. I'm like, no,
that's wasteful.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
I know it is wasteful, but it's also like it's
hard because then you're not getting the experience that you're
paying for exactly.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
And you have to remember, like if you're paying for something,
like it's at least owed to you for it to
be what you're paying for. Like if it's free and
you're just at like a free buffet or whatever for
like an event, you can't complain. But like, yeah, if
you're paying for it, you're the one that said it.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
And paying at a restaurant somewhere now, like that meal
alone is every bit of twenty dollars.

Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, so I'm.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Going to give my twenty dollars of what I wanted.
I know, and even as a server, like I know
that I would want to know if somebody wasn't happy,
but it's still uncomfortable, and I just I've become that person.
And now every time we eat out, I try and
say at the very beginning, I'm like, I'm a vegetarian,
Please do not put meat on my food. Yeah, that's
all I asked of you. If you want to mess

(21:12):
anything else up, that's fine, I'll figure it out.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
I would do that be like just so it's not awkward.
Oh yeah, and I have.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
To send it and my fiance has to check every bag.
If we get takeout food, he has to check in
the bag before we leave because I would tell you
nine out of ten times I've gotten home with things
that had meat on them.

Speaker 4 (21:32):
Why do they love putting meat on?

Speaker 3 (21:34):
They really want me to eat? Apparently? Wow, So now
he's had to like learn a new habit when we
got to eat, like to get takeout, Like did you
check the bag?

Speaker 4 (21:43):
Are we good?

Speaker 3 (21:43):
He's like, yeah, you're good? Or like sometimes I'll forget.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
I'm like, you have to check it before we leave?
You do? Because they forget to put stuff in? Yeah,
and I trust Lately, Yeah, I know a lot of
a lot of things. And I'm like, how is that missing?
It's like completely missing everything, Like there's no.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
So you I've seen now how I've become a person
I never wanted to become. Have you had that moment lately?
Maybe not with me or restaurants? Tell me about it?
Feel good?

Speaker 4 (22:09):
My road rage is out of control? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Do you have?

Speaker 4 (22:14):
It's a shide of me that you'll never see.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
First of all, do you have rage outside of a car?

Speaker 4 (22:20):
No?

Speaker 1 (22:21):
No?

Speaker 4 (22:21):
If somebody does something like to me or like my family,
I get like mad, but not to someone like I'm
not rage, like you know, like I hold it inside
like bottles of you're a volcano that likes to run
a volcano. And I get on the road, Oh my gosh,
don't even get me started. Like I'm already getting triggered

(22:42):
just thinking of like this car in front of me
today that was going so freaking slow in the vast lane.
I imagine you're in the vast lane also, okay, so
this is like a one lane you can't pass. So
you're just like, heads, how's it going? Like, oh my gosh,
it drives me insane. There's so many bad drivers in Nashville.
But I like, I don't do it when anybody's in
the car. But my family was in town recently, like

(23:05):
a few weeks ago, and I was like doing it
in the car, and I'm like, Abby, you don't do this.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
This is not who you are. What does your mom respond?

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Like, She's like it's okay, Like we're gonna get there,
you know, it's okay. They're fine. But she understands like
the frustration because she's been driving here too, and it's crazy.
It's a lot crazier here than in Wichita. Driving it
is well.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
You just have kuind of a melting pot of people here.
So everybody has different variations of what they're driving. I
don't know if anybody's ever realized this, but we all
have driving personalities, and it's all based on where we
learned to drive, where we grew up, where we were
taught around, Like you have Texas where they go so
so fast. You have like rural areas where it's just
slow pace of living. And then you have people who

(23:48):
didn't learn how to use a roundabout or don't know
what if ways stop means.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Don't even say those because maybe.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
They don't have them in their town, you know what
I mean. Like, so we all have driving personalities, and
Nashville has five thousand driving personalities.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
When you come to a oh my gosh, a roundabout,
it's not a stop sign, it's a yield. It's if
no one's in it, you can go like if no
one's literally there no need to stop, you just keep
on going with the momentum like this is me.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
So do you feel like your road ridge has gotten
worse over time?

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Yes, it's gotten worse. It's getting worse.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Is your road rage a volcano of other things from
your life, you know.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
That could be I could be taking it out on
these drivers, Yes, because I usually I didn't used to honk.
Now I honk.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Oh you're a honker, Yes, a long honk, or like
a nice honk.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
It's a nice honk unless they're being crazy they like
slam on on their breaks or like doing something illegal.
A lot of people try to They're in the right
lane and they decide they want they need to like
turn there, you know, so they send them on the
breaks so they can get over, and I'm like, you
can't do that, like you're gonna cause a wreck. Like
you have to just keep going straight till you can turn.
We've talked about this a lot.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
I see this all the time where people will be like, oh,
I'm supposed to get off there, and they'll like cut
everything off to go over, and I'm like, there is
a moment where you can do that, But most of
the time people have gotten past or the moment where
they can do that.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yeah, Like if you're putting other people's lives in danger,
that's when it's just like, what is going on. I've
seen that so many times on the highway where it's
like they're cutting like on the grass and stuff like
to get over the other way. And I get that
it's inconvenient if you go the wrong way because you
have to turn around it'll add five minutes. But I listen.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
I will admit I might have done something a little
illegal the other day when I was driving speaking of
driving on grass. Yes, well, there's an exit by my
house or on ramp to get on the highway, and
this on ramp is just always packed. It's a horribly
congested area. The infrastructure was not prepared for how many
people live over there. That's the situation, right. So ninety

(25:54):
nine percent of the time, I'm good. There's a little
bit of traffic and we'll get through it whatever. But
on a rare occasion that everybody just decides to not
use their brains on how to use an on ramp.
Mind you, this on ramp has three different incoming lanes
from three different places, so it's rough. It's really rough.

(26:16):
But people don't understand that they have to keep moving
or they need to get over to stay out of
other people's way because it also leads to another exit.
It's a really horrible infrastructure, but There was one time
where I turned on it and I was so worried
I was going to be late somewhere, and it was
stand still traffic, not moving. It was backed out onto
the street, and I was like one of the i'd say,

(26:38):
one of the five cars that was in like on
the on ramp. And I realized, like I was watching
my GPS, the time just keep going up, and I
made an executive decision and I just pulled a little yui,
pulled myself right on out of there and went another
way because I was not about to I was at
just enough at the point on the ramp where I
still could get out of it.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
Oh you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
But I was definitely going the wrong way on and
on ramp with traffic because I had to get out.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Oh that stresses me out.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Like I was on like the shoulder, But I was like,
I'm adding to this traffic. It's only going to get worse,
and there's another route I can go that will make
this smoother for everybody else that is here, So I'll
just do a little ta get out of here. I
found out later that it was a major pile up
and people were sitting there for like an hour and
a half. So no, ultimately it was worth a call.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
But I felt very illegal. I not, but everybody's good.
I'm really I did it very I did it very
slow and safe. It was not a you know, because
everybody was kind of stopped anyway. It's not like everybody
was like flying no. Right, yeah, so I'm a maneuver
now to there.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
But I feel like hearing what I'm hearing, I was
pulling an abby move right there.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
Oh, I don't do that.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
I don't break the law.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
I'm get mad at other people.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
You're just getting mad at other people breaking the law.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
So would you have at me? No, I wouldn't have.
I think it's like, I feel like I'm a really
good driver. I'm very self aware, you know, and I
don't know like Kansas the thing, I think it was
easy to be that way because it wasn't crazy. When
I go back home, people are like abiding by the
speed limit, like they're going like forty and a forty.
Well that's also in Kansas. They will pull you over

(28:20):
for forty one and forty. That's the thing. Like the
Kellogg yep, they're sitting there clocking and so driving personalities, right, Yeah,
so people aren't in a hurry, but here everyone is
in a rush to get everywhere. But then sometimes they
just do it where it's so unsafe and they're like
racing on the highway and it's like you're either going
like twenty and a forty or you're going seventy in

(28:41):
a forty. There's no in between, you know, And I
think that's what frustrates me most because I'm like, you
really have to just like be on top. You have
to be paying attention all the time.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah, you do. You have to keep your head on
a swivel for sure. What do they call it defensive driving? Yes?
Defensively yeah, super different. You're being defensive for everybody else,
just to make sure. I've seen people purposely slam on
their breaks to try and get hit. So that scares
me too, So I try not to fall very closely
to anybody.

Speaker 4 (29:09):
Yeah, I don't, like, I'm not trying to be in
a scam, right, I don't want to like tailgate anybody
because they will do that, like they get mad at you,
and I'm like, I don't want to make a mad
but I'm just like, why are you? I'm ready for
the break.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
So I am over here sending things back and you
were over road rager.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Oh we have become is it old age?

Speaker 3 (29:28):
Like as we get older?

Speaker 4 (29:29):
I think it is. Yeah, less patience? Is this mine's
less patience.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
I think mine's more annoyance. Now mine might be more boundaries.
I have more boundaries now. I was like you once
where I would just like I would have just not ate.
I was just like, it's fine, I just want to eat. Yeah,
I'll just eat whatever appetizer we got.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
It's like those met Have you seen that where it's like,
I'm the type of person that when you get your
nails done and they just look like absolutely terrible, and
they're like you like them, and you're like I love them, yes,
but you and you hate them like you walk out
you like these are terrible, but I still tip them
like twenty bucks.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Literally say yes, I get that. I feel that it's hard.
There's some situations where it's not where I'm like, clearly, okay,
there's a right and situation in here of how to
fix it. But I will absolutely admit there have been
so many times where I have paid for things that
I should not have paid for.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
I'm like, they tried their best. If they think they
look good, okay.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
But then you spend the next three weeks hating them.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
And yeah, life, I'm like, should you be honest in
that situation?

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Should you?

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Because they're not gonna get better, They're just gonna keep
doing terrible names.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
Yeah, I mean you should. But it's like also like
getting a bad haircut that I think what's hard in
some situations. Stuff it's bad enough and it impacts me enough.
You'll see it all over my face. I don't have
a very good poker face. I'm pretty like I'm not
gonna emoji with my face.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
They'll already know without you saying anything.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
And so I don't think I'll be able to keep
it hidden. But if it's something that doesn't it only
impacts me, like nobody else is gonna see it, or
something like nails. Really, I'll just be like it's fine
and then like run out later. Yeah, never again.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
That has happened to me before.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
I have been told that I like have very ugly
toes and stuff.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
I still go back because in the world you're the
person yeah doing your toes told you that, Yeah, well
they got to use the cheese grade on me.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Sometimes I was blessed with my my dad's feet and
he knows this. I get very frustrated at pedicures, but
I'm also very ticklish, so it's just like a whole
experience for me. I get petticures maybe like twice a
year because I hate it.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
So how would they say something?

Speaker 3 (31:44):
I don't know, man, I don't.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
I don't know if they know that I know, but
that's the word. Their like tone, yeah, faces, they're.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
Like yeah, and they're not bad, but I don't, you know,
like you have these cheese grader I get it.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
It's not a fun experience. So anyways, we're going to
take a break and we'll be back. We're gonna ask
some listener questions.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
The best bits of the week.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
With Morgan's listener Q daytime.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
We're Morgan in a show member answer almost all your questions.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
All right, are you ready for some listener questions?

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Ready?

Speaker 3 (32:20):
We have from Karen. She knows, she says, we know.
Morgan went to May's High School. Where did Abby go
to school in Wichita?

Speaker 4 (32:27):
The Independence School? Yeah, she was at the Boogie School.
Was on the east side on Douglas.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yeah, she was on East.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
And she was at a nice school.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
And I was off West at a public.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
School sounds like a college prep school. Very serious about
our studies over there. Uh huh? So were we so serious?
My parents were?

Speaker 3 (32:49):
So I had a four by no if I got below,
if I got below in A, I got grounded.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Yeah I didn't. I did not want below an A.
I don't. I never did, So my parents need to
do that. My brother was not a student. But yeah,
your parents.

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Like, wait, so that was your desire was to have that?

Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yeah, oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
I was like, I'm like a perfectionist. I need to
be perfect and I try to be in everything and
I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't miss this question
on the test. So what did you What was your GP?

Speaker 3 (33:18):
At school? It was like all a's, so, yeah you
got you had a four point zho two. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
In college it was like like three point ninety five,
and I was like so.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Mad, same, you know, I there was so much like
it's not fear. Fear isn't the right word. And I
appreciate it because it gave me the hard work, ethic
and stuff that I needed. But I was so afraid
to get a be that I like didn't So when
I got my first be, it was like when I
was in high school and I was taking college algebra
and she was a I think it was a she

(33:47):
she's about to get I had. I had some It's
really weird. I had some really horrible math teachers. And
then my favorite teacher ever was also a math teacher,
and math was my worst subject. So it's a lot
of weird things with that, but it was also my
only b I ever. It was in college algeba, and
I remember crying to the teacher like I cannot get
a be. This isn't okay, Like I'm gonna get in
trouble if I get this bee, and she's like, well,

(34:08):
you're gonna have to deal with that, this is horrible.
What am I gonna do? And Yeah. It was in
that moment though, that I learned that I now was
grown and I, yeah, so.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
Yours is more like your fear of getting in trouble, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
From your parents, And it was like it was out
of a place. I definitely think of love of them
just wanting me to succeed and really focus on things
and not lose my attention to things. And both of
my parents had vastly different experiences with like school and
stuff growing up. They grew up in rural communities and
things like that, so school was really important that we did.

(34:42):
They wanted us to succeed in ways that they didn't
get a chance to, you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
So it was it was an interesting thing.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
But I definitely look back at the time and I
was afraid.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
I wanted to socialize, and so the.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Only way I could socialize I was getting straight a's.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
You know what I want to note that I think
is so so funny because I'm like, so bad. You
got better, You've gotten a lot better, like an easy trivia.
I mean you like one, right? You want a season
I had. I had a strong bear, and now I've
just been going back downhill. But I'm like so bad
and I look so dumb on the show, Like I
look just like the biggest idiot, but like I was
so good in school, Like I'm book smart.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
Are you see? This is where we also might differ.
Are you test smart or you not? Like it's ours?

Speaker 4 (35:23):
Because cumulative tests were so rough for me. They were
hard for me. Okay, oh, I had to take them
a lot because I just the time limit and like
the reading, that's where I struggled. You had to read
the stories and comprehend it. No, I would read it
and it goes out. It's not even in my head anymore.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah, like good at memorizing. I could remember information and
retain it for a short time, but once.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
I used it, it was out. Yes, it's the memory,
just memorizing everything. Yeah, and so that's why we suck. Yeah, huh.
I like school subjects when we do on easy trivia,
like science and math, I can do those. When it
comes to like movies, I'm like, no, I don't know
or history.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
No, we're not comprehensive smart. We're very isolated smart.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
We have our subjects. Oh my gosh, it's funny we're
talking about this because I'm like, I'm a perfectionist. But
then on easy trivia, I'm like, I don't even know what.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Oh. Easy trivia gave me anxiety for so long, so long. Yeah,
and then finally I just had to accept what I was.
It's not good at trivia. I've never been good at trivia.
You take me to a trivia night, horrible. I know nothing.

Speaker 4 (36:24):
Now I'm a little bit better because we play easy
trivia so much.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
And I played my little solitaire game that really helps
me to bring things back to my mind. But that's
about all I got. Honestly, I know.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
It's just it's weird. It's just not my thing.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
It's not our thing, and Lunchbox.

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Loves to blame it on our education.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
So I but I love this contrast because we had
very different educations.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Yeah, and we both.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Were still bad.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
What does that say? It doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
Okay, did you have a question at all about before
we was? That's not our knowledge of things?

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Oh where we went to school?

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (36:59):
Did I have a question? No?

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Yeah, you were like you were asking something about easy trivia.
Then I we we derailed. I don't think so okay,
just my major. But you you enjoyed your school time? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (37:10):
Yeah, I know. I love school. I love studying. Really, huh,
I don't. I don't want to go back. Now that
I've worked, it would be hard for me to go back.
But in the time, I was like, oh, I spent
all my time like in the library and call you
were like a little school nerd. Yeah it's yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:26):
Was it because you thrived you felt like you thrive
in that environment or was it because you just loved.

Speaker 4 (37:31):
I loved learning?

Speaker 3 (37:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (37:33):
I did love learning, but I wanted to know everything
that was on the test, Like I wanted to be
able to be like I want a hundred on this test,
I have to know everything about it. It's weird looking back.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Did you cry when you got your cause it seems
like you got to be at one point or a CRD.

Speaker 4 (37:48):
I don't know what was that from. I don't remember
what class that was. Oh, it was like philosophy or something.
The philosophy's hard, No, yeah, or maybe yeah, psychology. I
took a few psychology classes, and I think I not like, yeah,
be oh, I didn't cry, but I was just like,
oh my gosh, no, did you go drink away your fears?
I didn't drink in college?

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Really, Yeah, when did you have your first drink?

Speaker 4 (38:14):
I think I was like twenty one. It was like
after it was my twenty first birthday with my family.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
But like you're telling, oh, we really didn't have different
growing up experience.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
Yeah, no, actually it was before it was like a
frat party. I was like twenty. I think I was
too scared to like use a fake out, so I
didn't do that. Like my friends were using fakes and
I was like I can't do that. I'm I get
in trouble. That's fair.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
I think I would have been scared to use a
fake also, but I used my sisters. Oh real id so,
and I wasn't afraid. Yeah, we look like twins and
it's a real id so, like nothing can happen, right,
that's fair. That's crazy that you didn't have your first dream.
Maybe that's why you really enjoy your white claus now.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
Yeah, that's probably it. I think I'm getting it all
out later in life. You know when most people started what.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Nice, I started way too young, so don't look at me.
But that's funny.

Speaker 4 (39:04):
A lot of my friends drink in high school and
they were going to parties, they were getting like mi
c s or whatever, minor in conceptions and all that,
and I was like so into like running in cross
country and track that I was like, I do not
want to ruin it, Like I don't want to start
drinking and get into that and not run. I was
too competitive.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Were you social in high school? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (39:23):
Did you like going to things?

Speaker 3 (39:24):
Because I feel like you're such a social person now.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Yeah, I was going to like all the football games,
like everything, basketball games. But I just like wasn't drinking.
I just didn't go to parties. I went to all
the school functions and things. But when it was like
a hardest party, well nerd for sure.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
Yeah, I love.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
That though, that that feels very you like, I love that.
That's wild. I think I'm just in your shocks because
we just had such different experiences on the other sides
of the city.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
We really did. Like you're on the west side, I'm
on the east side.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
I mean, I was just drinking random fields. You know,
It's fine.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
I was learning a lot about myself. That's fun, though,
I that would be fun. I wish I wouldn't have
been selling uptight, but.

Speaker 3 (40:08):
Yeah, but then there was moments where I wish I
was uptight, So like the grass is always green around
the other side for sure, Like we would have both
had things that we wish we would have changed, true.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
But we are who we are because of it.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
So there was a reason. Are there checks still rolling
in from the music you've released? That's from James and Virginia.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
I think I got one last year was like eight dollars,
so yeah, it's only like I think annual, it's really
not much. No, that's quarterly, So I guess it was
like eight I don't really keep track because it's really
nothing like the shout away you're rolling in the dough though.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
Man, eight dollars can buy you a coffee, Oh yeah,
to go walk around a city exactly.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
I will use that for my next coffee and remember that.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
Treat yourself doing coffee or why clawed a coffee up,
which I ever preferred.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
No, the streaming has gone down significantly, and that's where
the money is. Like, the more stream as you get,
the more money. So my songs like I don't promote
them really so they're not getting many plays, so.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
You do much mind them.

Speaker 4 (41:07):
Anybody listening here, go listen to Abby's music. Hey, their hometown,
that's my favorite one. I love my song.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
It reminds me of which Chita I know it does. Okay,
are you gonna put out a new music? Yeah, I'm
still thinking about it. Okay, I'm not gonna push you
because I know I know it's gonna add more stress
to your live.

Speaker 4 (41:25):
My life, it's never gonna I was telling somebody the
other day, I'm like, I'm waiting for things to get
less crazy, and they're like, they don't get less crazy, Like, oh, okay,
there's always something mm hmmm. I have realized that about life.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
You know, That's where I don't enjoy free will is
that there's always something every time I'm like, Okay, if
I just get through this hump, then I'll be like
to this point, and then there's something else that comes in.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
I'm like, never mind, it's just forever.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
M it is.

Speaker 4 (41:49):
It's just how you like manage it. I guess which
I'm not great that.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Manage our life.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Yeah yeah, life management. I was gonna say time management,
but life management.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
We got a lot of names on this podcast off
our life management, drinky personalities. We've come up with a few.
I like this. You know, Sadie wants to know from
Ohio if we're doing any of the CMA Fest activities.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
Oh yeah, my mom's back in town. She's like the
party girl and I she makes me want to go along,
Like is living here, you know, living here, it's like
gets to be a lot, like going to Broadway, which
I still love to do that, but it gets to
be a lot. But we're going to go to all
like all the night shows, so.

Speaker 3 (42:32):
Fun and you get the night shows me Nissan, Citi.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
Yeah, Nissan, Yeah, yeah. She buys tickets every year, so
I go along.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
Will you guys go do any of the daytime stages
or walk around any of that?

Speaker 4 (42:42):
Yeah, I need to look at the schedule because I
love going like Riverfront all the suff I just like
going back and forth and like seeing who we can
see because Riverfront always has really good ones like the
because I know you're doing that right m hm Yeah.

Speaker 3 (42:53):
So Thursday, I'll be with you at Nissan. We're doing
some stage stuff at Nissan on Thursday night, and then
Sunday I'll be at Chevy Riverfront stage doing stage stuff there.
And then I'm also going to Chaboozi's brunch that Mike
sent us to invite for. Did you say yes to that?

Speaker 4 (43:08):
I didn't?

Speaker 2 (43:09):
Why?

Speaker 4 (43:09):
You guys like three hours, isn't it?

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Yeah? But you can go for a little bit.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
That's true. What day is it on? It's on Sunday? Maybe, Yeah,
you and your mom should totally go to that. She
would love that.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
I feel like you.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
Guys would thrive at brunch and Chabooze. I know, it's
really cool. It's like elevated Western weir. Like that's so cute, but.

Speaker 3 (43:28):
It is also hard. There's so much going on this weekend.
So being everywhere with everything is hard. I know it
is you guys.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
Should I feel like your mom would just thrive?

Speaker 3 (43:37):
She would love that. I have to ask.

Speaker 4 (43:39):
I'm not going to add trust your life.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
This is not me, but we do have lots asking
if there is a wedding update Tracy from Washington, she
loves you. You're both gorgeous as ever. I had to
like compliment Sandwiche there a little bit wedding.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
Updates, kind of looking into dates, getting at least a
general idea. Okay, yeah, big moves. It is. I'm trying
to like think about things like realistically in some venues,
just kind of looking just getting ideas and costs and quotes,
but nothing really like sticking.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Do you are you leaning more into when you might
be getting married? Like what year?

Speaker 4 (44:21):
Next year? Yeah, twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 3 (44:23):
Okay, looking at next year. Yeah, that's huge progress. It
is before you're like, I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (44:27):
I know, I was like maybe twenty thirty, twenty forty,
I know.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
And sure.

Speaker 4 (44:34):
At some point okay, it's twenty twenty seven. Yeah, that's exciting.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
And I remember you were kind of looking at potentially
here but also maybe out of beach, but I don't
know if that was going to work out.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
No, I think more here. I like logistics of a beach.
I want to be where I am. I mean, so
I can drive, it's easier to plan things, so I
can go do site visits and all that and know
more about vendors like there.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
I have no idea. I would just be like, hopefully
the this is good. Yeah, And based on what you
told me about cities and researching, you do not like that. No,
so I do not recommend for you now that I
know that information honestly really helps me. The fact that
I have also had a lot of experience with this. Now, yeah,
don't do it somewhere else.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
Now you get it.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
You will have to do a lot of research, a
lot and a lot of investigating, a lot of calleen,
a lot of just doing a lot of like groundwork,
if you will versus if you are doing it somewhere
you're familiar with, it's a lot easier. Yeah, for your sake,
especially having that information now, uh huh.

Speaker 4 (45:35):
And I think I want more people to be there,
Like a beach wedding, it's like a limited smaller you know,
and I want more people.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
So you did a big wedding thing.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
Yeah, I think I mean not big, but yeah, like
most people that I know, because I want them to
be there. There's a lot of people in my life
that I know would like to be there, and it
would be hard for me to be like, no, sorry,
you can't, like you can come to something else. Because
I had thought about that. I think that's a good idea.
I've always wanted to do something like that, to be like, Okay,
I'll make it small and intimate, but I don't know.
I just don't know if that's like for me. So

(46:07):
it's okay.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
It's supposed to be individually, uniquely yours, and that's what
I'm trying to remember.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
It's not about like you can't please everybody else to
be like, oh, I wonder if they'll like this or
if they can make it here. I'm like you, at
the end of the day, you just have to go
with what you want because otherwise you'll just go around
in circles.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
You will, And you're already gonna go around in circles
because there's gonna be a lot of options and a
lot of things you can do, and you're gonna start
seeing a lot on social media and stuff, and you
just have sure it's yours. It's you and your fiance.
That's what matters. Whatever you guys want works. You can
want Halloween wedding and that's perfectly fine.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
The I think that's cool.

Speaker 3 (46:45):
I do too. I love how creative people are. I
love when I see people in their weddings. When it
looks to me like it's a show. Is when I'm
just like, what did you get married for us? Or
for you? You know? Mm hmm? So be uniquely. You
do all the things that you want to do however
you want to do them. It's the best piece of

(47:06):
advice somebody gave me. And all you as you start looking.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
Thank you. Yeah you're done, so thank you. You got
the hard part nine And I'm like, oh most of it.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
But I have also learned that once you even get
the big things, and then all the small things come
and the small things are just as hard as big things.

Speaker 4 (47:21):
But it's all fun most of the time. Oh goodness, excited.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
It would be great you're gonna since you're planning for
next year, your life will also be easier. You know,
I just did it all one year. I know for funzies, right,
even though I wasn't one of the girls that had
a pinterest sport already plans.

Speaker 4 (47:42):
I know, yeah, me neither. That's crazy.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
It's good though.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
I would think it.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Gives you a whole, wide open sketchbook to do whatever
you want, which is also really exciting.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
That's the free will. The free will I don't do well,
that's too much free will, Like plate need me everything.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
Yeah, oh my goodness. Okay, Well, shout out from Jewelia.
She's in my favorite Icy Tea Girls. She is from Kansas.
Jody and Oklahoma City said I love y'all. Uh. Mike said,
y'all are perfect. I love the show and we'll leave
on this one. Abby was the beach everything you needed

(48:23):
it to be? Kindra in Ontario.

Speaker 4 (48:25):
Oh my gosh. She may have messaged me on Instagram.
Somebody said I hope you have the trip you needed
it to be or something. I was like that, that's
so cute. Yes it was. I love the beach so much.
That's where I thrive. I just want to live like
in the sand, just lant me here. I just love
it so much. I never want to get out of
the water when I go in, because usually I go

(48:45):
to California and it's hard to stay and it's cold
and there's like bigger waves. But Florida you can just
stay in all day and I.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
Would Would you make like a hut above the ocean
and live in a hut?

Speaker 4 (48:58):
That be so awesome? Yeah I could. I don't want
to say I don't like the dirtiness. I want to
get like all the sand off me. Now we're going
back to the particular.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
You're like plant me there, but like in a certain way. Yeah,
well I'm glad.
