Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Best Bits of the Week with morgane.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Part one scene with a member of the show, Well.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
What's up friends, Happy weekend. Abby's joining me on Best
Bits this weekend. What's up, Abby?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
You ready to talk about some wedding conversation?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Are you? No? I mean you're there? We to We are.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I've gotten lots of questions and people wanting to know
how our wedding planning is going.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Not havyized to each other but individual nice shocker. No,
Abby and I are not getting married, but we are
getting married to other people.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
We are.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
So how is it going for you? Have you even
looked at anything or have you started what's your feelings thoughts?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I really haven't. I have not, not even a little bit. No,
There's just been a lot happening in both of our lives.
That is just like, that's not I guess on the
front burner right now. Yeah, it's a full time job, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It is, Abby. The amount of things like I've started
to look, I've started to like creep in. When I
have a couple extra minutes here and there, I'll look
at different things, and I think I have a baseline now,
at least for what I want.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Okay, that's awesome, but it's so overwhelming.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I'm gonna tell you that right now. Like I start
to think I have one idea and I kind of
go down the path and then something like goes a
brick wall. I'm like, Okay, turn around, next idea, and
everything just keeps moving moving pieces of all the time.
Oh I bet.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And even like dates too, That's what I'm nervous about.
Like they go so fast.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
That there's people who have planned for like three years. Yeah,
they've had their they had their venue picked out before.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
They got engaged. Right, Uh huh, couldn't be me?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Was not me?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Same, I have nothing. But the good news is, as
I do think we've at least narrowed it down to
being that we would like to have a however you
want to word it, elopement, private ceremony, micro wedding somewhere
in the mountains with our immediate family only, and we
(02:01):
get like, have the ceremony, we have a fun little
weekend with everybody, and then we come back here we
have a party with all the people whoever wants to
come and just celebrate. Not a saram, not like a reception.
It's just like a party. Free food and free drinks
and music, a party, party vibes. I'm not going to decorate,
not spending thousands of dollars on flowers and you know,
(02:23):
who knows what wherever, just a big party to celebrate.
And then the goal and the dream is to go
to South Africa for our honeymoon.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Ooh that's awesome. Oh my gosh, yeah, you do have
it kind of.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I mean I'm meaning like a structure, you know what
I mean, Like I'm meaning ideas and thoughts.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Oh my gosh. I've never thought to go to Africa,
and I think it's like it's like the Safari and
all that. And see, I'm just such. I don't want
to see any animals die. I want to see circle
of life.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I'm the same as you. I don't. I don't feel
that way. But I also a circle of life doesn't
bother me as much as hunting poachers does in that capacity.
So as long as I'm not witnessing that side of it,
like nature being nature, I can handle a little bit more.
I'm not going to handle it super well. I cry
when any animal time, Like I cry if I actually
(03:18):
step on a snail. So here I am.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You've done that. That's so sad. Oh it was horrible.
It was horrible. Aby.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I literally went inside and cried because, Yeah, I think
I told you one time, or I've talked about it
on Best Bits where I went to rescue a turtle
in the middle of the road and as I was
walking out to get it, somebody hit it ran over it.
Oh my gosh, And I can never get this sound
and the experience out of my head. Yeah, I want
to talk about it. Horrible, So, yeah, I'm with you.
(03:45):
The circle of life bothers me. But I'm also a
huge advocate for seeing animals in their natural habitat, and
the only way to do that is South Africa for
a lot of animals.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, no, I've heard nothing but good things. They're like
you have to do at some point in your life,
I know, but that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And but trying to figure out, you know, there's a
whole lot of regulations around that you have to get
different shots and do different things. While I'm also on
this crazy health journey of trying to like rid my
body of stuff and then also not bringing things back
to Remy and Hazel, who are my dog and cat
because they're both have immunal compromise diseases. It's just like,
(04:23):
I don't know if that will end up panning out
in the way that I want it to, in the
best safe way. Like, Honestly, the thing that's been the
hardest for me in general is that Remmy and Hazel
are my number one priority of life. They have been.
You know that you've watched them and both of them
having their recent diagnosis, Remy with Addison's disease, Hazel with
(04:45):
kidney disease. I've just added a bunch of layers to
our life. You know that nobody ever plans for but
my number one request for a wedding night. I've told
my fiance that from the day that I met him,
I said, if this works out, Remy and Hazel will
be at my weddings. No, you're never gonna argue that
you're never gonna it's not gonna happen, like that's a requirement,
(05:08):
and trying to get them like we're And then my
other one was that I wanted to be married in
the mountains. But the mountains to me are Colorado, right, Colorado,
and in the West. I think of the mountains out
west more than I do really the smokies, if you will,
and trying to figure out how to get both of
them there that's safe for them, oh right, and doesn't
(05:28):
add stress to their life. It's just not really working
out in the way that I had hoped.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Really, it's just like.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I can't do certain travel with Remy. I can't put
her on a flight, she's too big and do that
in a way that's not stressful to her. And that
means road tripping, which means taking more time off, which
also means them being in a car for twenty two
hours at you know, on the front and back end,
which are stressful situations. Not for Remy. Remy's like the
(05:56):
best little road trip traveler ever, but Hazel not so much.
She gets stressed out.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And I'm talking a long ride too.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, and she barely does the road trip to Wichita well,
which is eleven hours, you know, and that's double that.
So now I think we're starting to look at potentially
North Carolina Mountains something at that over here that's a
little bit less of a drive. And but that's what
keeps happening. It's like everywhere that I, oh, for sure,
it feels like a roadblock happens of like oh, this
(06:24):
is what I want. This is what we're gonna do.
We're gonna make it happen. And okay, never mind, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Go back on that. Do you have a general date?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Like general, because it's gonna be like an elopement micro wedding.
We don't have to and I want it in nature.
That's also something that I really want that particular, like
the ceremony, I don't have to worry near as much
about like planning too far in advance for right.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, which is that's good? That makes it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yes huge, So potentially the fall I would love to
have it falls this year favorite Yeah whoa yeah, be ready. Yeah,
Because again, like when you do the elopement and stuff,
once you really get like a good elopement photographer who
is also a planner and can like sort that stuff out,
everything else kind of comes together pretty easily, and you
(07:12):
don't have to plan for vendors and you know, all
those different things to play.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
All that stresses me out When you say vendors. I'm
just like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Because we
went to like a bridal show just for fun. It
was like a couple of weeks ago, just to see
and I mean people were intense there, Like the girls
were dressed up and like they were ready to go
with their girls basically had sashes on, like I'm the
bride and I just walked in. We just like stopped by,
(07:39):
and they were so excited like writing things down. I'm like,
I'm literally just trying to get an idea of like
what it all entails. And I was like, oh my gosh,
day we need to go because it was just a lot.
It was helpful. I mean, it's cool to see what
there is like visually, but I was just like, oh
my gosh.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Well, I think that's the coolest thing about wedding sous.
There's endless options. You can really do whatever you want
to do. But with that comes a whole bunch of
money for one day. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I know. Oh man, Like I've talked to some of
my friends that have gotten married in like Kansas City,
and I'm shook if on it, and that's like Kansas City, Yeah,
and they were really nice weddings, But I mean, so Nashville,
it's not well.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I'm not also like, I do you feel like you're
the kind of person who loves to sit down meal
I'm not a big I don't need a five course dinner.
I've never done well with those.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
No, especially with people around, Like there's no way you're
even gonna be just like sitting.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, like the whole nice course meal. I'm like a
buffet girl. Give me a whole spread of options.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And I'm happy, right yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, And so like those nice weddings also just don't
do it for me, and that like I love attending them.
They're fun to experience and be a part of it.
But if it was my wedding and I just want
to like focus on getting married and hanging out with
the people that I love most, that doesn't feel like
the right track for me.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I know that?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah? No, I agree, Yeah, because I've been at both
types and I like them both. It's really nice to
just have like a really nice meal served you, yep.
But also I love the buffet because you can just
go get whatever you want and it's just feels more
like casual. Yeah, which I'm more casual than like formal. Same,
we're casual girlies, yes, yea, we are.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I had a friend that had a late night Mac
and cheese bar at her wedding then I still.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Think about it. That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Everyone's dancing and it was like the late night snack
and it was a mac and cheese bar, like build
your own. I still think about that a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That's what I want to do. It's like something when
everybody you know, that midnight snack that people were like hungry.
You're like, okay, what can we bring out? That's like
somebody I knew how to French fry bar. See like
every type of friend like fry.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I love.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That was the best.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And see if I can do like a party here.
I feel like I can implement some of those fun
things and it'd be more fun. Yeah, like little lively atmosphere.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Then.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I don't know. Weddings for me specifically feeling like how
I feel. They feel performative. They feel like it's it's
to show everybody everything and like it's yourself. It doesn't
feel like a party sometimes, you know what I mean. Yeah,
And I just wanted to be a party. I wanted
to actually be fun. The whole point of getting married
(10:11):
is to have fun and to like be in love
and celebrate your love. And some weddings have been due
just feel a little bit more performative, and that's great
because they loved them. But I'm not that way.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, I mean neither.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I don't want to perform for anybody.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
A beach in the sand, yep, wind blowing through my hair,
not like super formal and quiet, you know, I don't
like that.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Does your fiance lean into the beach idea too?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
He's good with it. Yeah, he thought it would be fun,
like a Nashville wedding because all his family and friends
would want to come. That'd be fun for them. But
I'm like, okay, you know how expensive that is in Nashville.
Like we've looked at some of the venues and my
jaw is like on the floor at one of them.
I couldn't even believe it. I couldn't even believe it.
I'm like, that's just for the venue.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, I'm scared email to have like just rent out
a place for a party. I'm scared for that email.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
And that's not even like a wedding venue.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm talking about like rennly out maybe like a little
restaurant space for three hours or something.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Which that'd probably better something like that, but not an
actual like venue. Yeah, it's it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
That you guys are on the same wavelength though. Yeah,
it's tough when people are on two different ones and
somebody wants a micro wedding and somebody wants a massive wedding.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
That's true, but he's also like he's a get done person.
I'm like, oh, I don't know. So he's kind of
at the point like, okay, do you want me to design?
Like if you.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Can't, I'm like, oh, I don't know. So do you
guys want to get married this year?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I mean I wanted like fall or spring springs too soon? Fall?
I feel like it's still a little soon.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Of this year. Yeah, we are technically, especially at this
point after the cruise, were going to be in March.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yes, which is spring. So that's not gonna happen unless
just like an elopement.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, let's just drive down to the beach and go
get a lot, like you know, you guys.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Which could happen. That could, but I don't see myself
doing that. I need my people there at least, like
my main like family and you know.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Kind of like what I'm talking about. But on a beach, yeah, exactly,
which is easy to do. I mean, heck, even if
you have two months.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Notice.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You can easy make that happen, you know what I mean, Like,
you just need enough time for everybody to buy cheap
flights and be there.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
We're also talking about renting if we do a mountain place,
if we can hopefully find one that works with everything
is renting out an airbnb and we're all staying there together.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh nice. Yeah, I've thought about that too. Yeah, that'd
be so fun just to have like a ten bedroom
place or.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Something exactly and just find everybody hangs out, we play games,
we get some like taco bar happening in there, and
or some Italian that we pick up from a restaurant.
I don't know, I just I love the The act
to me of a wedding is just supposed to be
about family and love and gathering more than it is
about the presentation of it. And don't get me wrong,
(12:58):
I'm gonna find me a really pretty well dress and
that's gonna be the presentation that.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Matters to me. I can't wait to try on dresses
I have to do.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I haven't either. Well, okay, I did one, but it
was for a friends thing. It wasn't for my wedding. Okay, yeah,
it was not part of like my wedding dress shopping, which.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Was funny, you go dress shopping?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No, No, But we are talking about going in April,
so we're in Nashville. Yeah, I think my family and
his family's gonna fly in all the girls and go
pick out or go try on wedding dresses and have
that whole experience for a weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Oh my gosh, that's what I'm most excited for because
I you know how people go and just like try
them on for fun. I was like, I'm not gonna
Why would I ever do that? Why would I get
my hopes up, you know, and never try one on
before I'm actually engaged. So it's really exciting.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And the same way, I haven't tried one on either
until my friend's like event that I was doing something
with her for. I was like, this is the first
time I'm trying on wedding dresses ever.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And that's not weird. Actually a fiance too.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Is that weird?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
It felt, Oh my gosh, it's gonna be like crazy
because I've always like watched it, you know, on shows
like where they're like they go together and try on
a dress and it's like super emotional and Yep, I've
just seen that.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Part, so I know now we get experience that this year.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I'm with you. That is the part that I'm most
excited about. I'm trying to think of like the other
things that I'm most excited about too. Okay, well we'll
take a break, we'll come back and we'll keep talking
more wedding things. I'm also such a foodie, so really
thinking about the food around the event. If you can't tell, yeah,
I'm excited about food.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I'm excited for the cake, trying all the different ones.
So if you do a little moment when you still
get a cake, yeah, yeah, you have to have the cake,
you have to cut the cake. But I guess if
you have that party, is that when you have the cake,
like when you come back, you could also.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You know, the best part, you can do whatever the
heck you.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Want now, whatever you want it, you're reporting.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
To exactly, and that's how it's supposed to be. It's
not anybody else's wedding. It's not you know, Mima from
eight sisters down, it's not their wedding.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
And that's why it's so hard, because the possibilities are endless.
I mean, well, you got a budget. If you have
a budget, yeah, you can't have everything. But I'm like, oh,
you can have that anything.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Well, and you know, like think the budget too. Thing
is also driving me crazy with the elopement stuff, because
even elopements are now expensive. Trying to find if you
do hire a photographer wedding planner that's also expensive, Yes,
insanely expensive. I'm not saying also like insanely expensive. And
that's then I start adding up price. I'm like, Okay,
if I do it this way, is it still gonna
(15:33):
be the same amount. I just had a wedding here
at this place on one day, but that's not what
I want.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I know, everything is jacked up when it has to
do with a wedding. Like if you say wedding, you know,
you could be like, oh, I want to rent this
place for a birthday party. If you say it's for
a wedding, it's probably like double I mean that's what
I've heard.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I know there's people doing this, and now I'm on
wedding talk. I saw one girl post and she was
like thinking about playing my I mean, then there's all
these like dumpster fire memes popping up after and I
was like that's my brain right now, Yeah, that's how
I feel. But there's a lot of people on wedding
talk talking about how this is the case. If you
(16:11):
mentioned wedding, and I'm the person who completely respects that
anyone in the service industry, you pay for what you're getting, right,
And I very much believe in that, And there are
things that make sense for costs. But it's like search
pricing in ubers, right, Yeah, you need people need the services,
(16:32):
they're going to use it. But the difference is do
I need the service, you know, at the end of
the day, Do I need the service?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah? I know?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Or is it something I can figure something else out?
And that's what's hard about it, you know, and then
you regret it. Like one thing that my fiance and
I have talked about is him and I both love
photos videos, Like that's how we just see life. We
love to take pictures, we love to have pictures. We
loved I for our one year, I got the photo
(17:01):
books of all of our trips. Each one was a
different book of all of our photos we took of
each trip, and like, that's just how we love to
see our life is through the pictures that we took
and what we did, and so that's a priority, but
a priority to have photo and videos everybody fifteen grand
fifteen grand what yeah, whoa, oh my yeah insane again.
(17:26):
I respect it. I know that's a grind. I work
in photo and video. I know how much work that is,
and I respect it. But it's wild. Yeah, that's wild
to me.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
And that's only one thing. That's only one thing you're scheduling.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
That's one and that's if you like, just get one
or the other.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
It.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, So these are the rabbit holes I go down
and then I just end up quitting because I get overwhelmed.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Oh good, well I'm not even in any rabbit holes,
and it's comfortable.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
You're not quitting it on because you don't have to start.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I like looked at on the rabbit hole. I'm like, nah,
I'll stay up here. That's good.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
So you're like watching my little tail be down there,
and then I just like back.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Back up, moan, just give me like the recap. Oh
not so bad. Yeah. Yeah, one of these days I'll
be able to jump in one of things. I feel
like we'll get less crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
And I do feel like after the cruise I'll have
some time because I've kind of been zeroed in on
that and trying to work on just eighty million different
projects to prepare for being gone. That's the other thing.
Is so much of this job as being prepared to
be gone, to then be ready to be gone so
then when you come back it's not a disaster.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah yeah, And I'm doing a lot of that.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
So I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I'm overwel We'll get it.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I love being engaged, and I'm so excited to get married,
like genuinely so excited. But weddings these days have just
become such an event and it's just not That's not
what I pictured when I was a kid, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, you know, I hear you.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I don't know, that's my thoughts right now, anything running
through your head.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I don't think so No, I'm just so on the
I'm still on the fence of like the beach or home.
It's it's hard because i feel like I want so
many people to be there at the wedding, Like I
want to do what you want, you like the small
wedding and then come back and have the party. But
I'm also like, oh, I want them at the wedding too,
and then we could just do a reception right after.
So both, Like I want to do both, So how
(19:28):
do you decide which one?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
And I think a lot of sadly, a lot of
it comes down to money and budget at the end.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Of the day.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, that's true, and figuring out just what works best
and how it works and what you want ultimately, because
there are so many outside factors in it, right, and
just people who just want I can't believe how many
people are just like I can't you know, I can't
wait for your wedding and I can't. I'm like, wait, what,
I don't even know if I'm having a wedding, I
(19:54):
do how you can't wait for it? Yeah, that's crazy,
you know, right, And because that's kind of a societal
thing where we've been. You know, you get married and
everybody comes, and that's what happens, huh. But then in
my head, I'm like, you think there's a wedding, I
don't even know why wedding's happening and when is happening, and.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It's impossible to invite everybody, you know, and you know,
like everybody thinks that if they talk to you, they
might it's hard, and that is hard. Where do you
do the cutoff? That's another thing too. Oh that's what
cut make.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
That's how exactly. That's how we got to the micro
wedding idea was because we started spiraling when we like
were like, Okay, we're going to do close just our
immediate family, and then we do like our wedding parties.
But then the moment we started adding the wedding parties,
it was like a trickle down effect. It just things
kept eating added. I was like, what this went from
(20:48):
micro to.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Macro real fast? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I was like, okay, back all that, back up immediate family.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Wait, do you know how many do you want bridesmaids?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Well, if we get if we do an elopement style,
there's really just not that Yeah. So I think I
do a trip with my friends just to celebrate with
them and just give people different opportunities to celebrate, whether
they want to come to the party or whether they
want to come and do a trip together and kind
of loop that trip in with like what would be
(21:19):
a bridal shower or whatever. I just don't I don't
want people to spend a bunch of money either, you know.
I know, yeah, because I know that's a valuable right now.
And if I do a trip, I want them to
want to go on the trip for it to be
an actual trip versus just another bachelorette party.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And I have to think, because like I love going
to weddings, Oh my gosh, like sign me up, no
matter where it is, I want to go. But it's
like some people they don't. I always think that, I'm like,
what if they don't want to? What if it's too
much trouble for them, because it is a lot if
you have kids or pets, like, it's a lot. Well,
I know, out of town.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Their responsibility to say no, you know, and at least
they got the invitation, because that's what everybody wants at
the end of the day, is ination, yeah, to then
say no. But that's the other thing. Kid free wedding
Mars will be kid free party or ceremony besides our
immediate family and our nieces essentially. So that's another thing
(22:18):
too that adds a layer. People have a whole lot
of opinions on that.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Oh my, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I would imagine if you had a wedding here, I
wouldn't be kid free because he has kids, right, it
could just be his kids that come. Would you have
a kid free wedding? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I would, yes, uh huh. I feel like every wedding
I've been to has been kid free. Well no, not really,
not really actually no, because they're.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Like yeah all the way. No, just none of them.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Never mind, I do remember them, like, and it's always
like when it's really quiet in a church, Yeah, they
have to like take them out or something. But mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
That's another aspect for sure, and that adds even more.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
That's stress. I get stressed on anything. But actually I
don't know. I don't know. We'll see. No, I would
want it to be a kid for I think.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You're like a being s farmball. This is like me
when I keep choosing a different thing.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Me in real time planning. Yeah, in real time. You're
doing it in the.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Rabbit hole with me, cure down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I hate it. I hate doing that. Yeah, I hate
it here too. Oh my head hurts.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Oh that's so bad.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Oh my gosh. That was real time of me being like,
oh no, well actually huh oh no, wonder he's annoyed.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
It's okay. You will figure it out. And it's like
Both of our fiances have been great about it. They
both want what we want at the end of the day.
And my fiance is the same. He just wants to
celebrate with our friends at the end of it all.
And he's like, however we want to do that. We
could have a.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Party at the house for all I care.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
He's just very well, key chill, yeah, yeah, which is
that's good.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, that is good, just to be happy. We're similar. Yeah,
it's not like, Oh, I'm inviting five hundred people to
my wedding and I'm having it a castle. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I did think about that. There's a true elopement. People
go to the Dolomites in Italy.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Oh my, okay, well that's and I have for.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The actual like to just do it in Italy where
the place is I know, but I can't bring roomy
and haze. Also, oh knocked that out for me. Oh well,
but the okay, am I wrong on this? Tell me?
Am I wrong? Because you've been to North Carolina and
the Smokies, right, yeah, and you've obviously been out west
the mountains out west. Do you think the Smokies in
(24:34):
North Carolina mountains are mountains compared to like the mountains
in the west.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
No, right, I don't think there are.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Mountains like landscape whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
The actual they're so beautiful, the ones in like North Carolina,
like the ones east, they're so pretty, but I don't
actually like think of them as being full blown like
take your breath away mountains, like when I was out
for the Broncos game. I mean, you see those and
you're just like, oh my gosh. I mean, I still
think they're really pretty, but they're not quite like the
(25:08):
ones in Denver.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, it's like the peaks of them.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, they're not as high, are they.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
The Appalachian Mountains and Smoky Mountains. No, those are the
only two like major mountain ranges that I'm aware of
over here on the East Coast. I might just like
brief knowledge right now without googling, But no, and I
have a lot more fourteen footers like the actual Outpine
my mountains and stuff out west.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
But maybe it's just because my viewpoint, like I've seen
the rocket like from far away and so you get
that full effect. I don't know if I've gone far
enough east to actually see that. I don't. It's harder
to see them because it's just so hilly. You don't
get just this full on.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Few everything in my research because I'm I keep trying
to find videos of elutements just everywhere to see where
I can manage and know they're not anywhere near each other.
I really feel like the mountains of an East are
just more rolling, ginormous structures, and then the mountains out
west are like peaks, true, like jagged edged peaks, you
(26:14):
know what I mean. And that's what I think of
as a mountain.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, me too. They're more they have like this blue
look to them, like in Denver. You know, it's like
blue and I don't know, it's like the.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Cores light can. Yes, there we go, your mountain of
your If the mountains are blue, it's cold or change. Yeah,
I'm the Cans.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
The mountains are white or blue.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I think it's blue if they're blue, and then you
drink it because it's cold or whatever. But yeah, And
that's that's another thing I struggle with, is because it's
not the true mountains that I think of to get
married in. But I'm just a mountain girly like I
belong in a mountain top. It's what it is.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
That's why I want to get married in one.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Maybe I'll move back there someday.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Hey, maybe you could.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
This is this is why I haven't talked about any
wedding planning.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Same. Oh my gosh, I get that text like daily,
Hey have you you have any plans? No, They're probably like,
what are you doing? I'm like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Well, in all spare niling, most people get engaged and
they have their wedding plan in like two months.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah they do.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I have two friends that got engaged, one that got
engaged the month before I did, one that got engaged
the month after me. Both have already sent out there
saved the dates.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
And I've already know they haven't that's to send me out.
They need to chill, they need to like slow their role.
Oh gosh.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I was like, dang, good for you guys. I don't
know anything.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
No.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I've seen a lot, like on the Nashville Like there's
girls groups or whatever on Facebook and they're all like, hey,
just got engaged yesterday, Like when when am I supposters
send to save the dates and like all this stuff
like hey, we already picked the venue. I got engaged
last week. But blah blah blah, I'm like, oh my gosh, okay,
clickive up.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
That's insanity to me. I bringame. I was just enjoying
being engaged for a hot minute, you know, like, I know,
have a ring on my finger. I'm just getting used
to bringing the ring with me everywhere. How could I
even think about like the second part of that.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I actually applaud them. That's pretty cool. I wish I
was like that. I wish I was just like, okay,
oh we got this place, this date. Uh oh, we
got our invite lists. Okay, we're good. I wish I
could do that.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I love that for people.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I do love that.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
For you could not be secret? What is your secret?
Oh my gosh, I know. Okay, you would have think too.
We were the Pinterest generation. We grew up on Pinterest
and we pinned everything. I had a wedding board. Everybody
did nothing on that. Pintrean's board is the same for
me today, I am not the same human.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
That's kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Did you ever have a wedding picturespoort?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Not?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Really? No, I was that type that I don't like
to get my hopes up. I don't like to plan
for things that I don't know if are going to happen.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Worst case scenario, girl, I see you, It's all happened.
I'm gonna pland for it.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I don't know, I don't know. I was, Yeah, I
mean I did like a generic one, I guess, just ideas.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
But you should have seen the things that were on
my pinder's board from when I was a teenager.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
What was it.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
There was all kinds of colors in different directions that
did not match each other, mind you, and just different ideas.
I really thought I wanted a barn wedding, which I love.
Barn weddings are so beautiful. I don't I've drastically changed
who I was as a teenager.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
That is. That is very interesting. That's cool. It's cool though,
it's cool to look back on. Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
But nothing the same. Like I even thought I wanted
an engagement ring that had a sapphire diamond or green
I can't remember what the green ones are called.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Is it emerald?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yes, Emerald. I thought I had those pinned because those
are the rings that I thought I wanted. Then I
went in person when we went rings shopping. I was like,
never mind, you didn't like it. I was like, maybe
that's like a a fun anniversary gift at a certain point. Yeah,
because I loved them, but they just didn't scream engagement
ring to me when I was actually putting them on
and stuff. But yeah, I've gone through a few lives.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You know you have well now what you have is
I guess it matters, But it is interesting to look
back and see what you used to have.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Did you think he wanted to bech wedding when you
were a kid? Do you remember that? Cause clearly now
you've always been like as an adult, but were you
as a kid.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, Oh, I definitely was. Huh, But I just didn't
think a wedding was there, you know, like my mom
got married for the second time to my stepdad at beach.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
And that introduced it.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah, but that was more like recent. I guess. I
always thought like a wedding had to be in a church,
walking down the aisle, Like that's just what I pictured
a church to be, you know how a wedding, you know,
like even the emoji or whatever on your iPhone, it's
like a church. And then like the love or a heart.
I just always thought it had to be like this
formal lock down the aisle and do that. So that's
(31:05):
kind of what I always pictured. But now I'm like, no,
that's that's not me. To be in like a inside
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Know inside, not to be in a church.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I'm just kidding, not to be inside and like quiet,
like I don't like where you can hear like just
every pin drop. Yes, that always there's something that. Yeah,
we're casual.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah, you and I are both casual for sure. So
there's our entire wedding updates.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Awesome, we're making progress. You're making progret but.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yes, exactly, that's literally what I'm making.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
That's about it. Not quite progress, but plog wess oh man.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
So maybe we'll both be married by the end of
this year or maybe next year.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I don't know. You never know.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
No.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I do kind of feel better though, because I thought
I was way behind.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
No, I'm I'm with you, honestly, Like work just kind
of dominates my life a little bit, and so it's
hard to focus on other things. And I'm also trying
to have a social life and take care of my health,
and both of my dog and cat are going through stuff,
and it's just hard to make something a priority. That's
another full time job, truly it is.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean that's wedding planners, which I thinking
about hiring yah planner to help me.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I see why they're important. I see why the services
are necessary. I get it all understandable. So we'll see.
But maybe maybe by fall i've done it.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, tad a little not. Oh my gosh, that's crazy.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Okay, we're gonna take a break, welcome back, talk about
some other things outside of wedding things. I really loved
my consistency in that in both of those breaks. Right
before I said wedding things.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Wedding things. Yeah, yes, I.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Really appreciated that about myself. Okay, outside of wedding planning,
what's going on in your life right now?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Oh? Not much. Trying to survive. Trying to survive.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
You mentioned you were about to start training, Yes.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
So yeah, I need to start doing that now that
the weather's getting nicer. Yeah, because I'm doing the half
marathon again the Saint Jude won in Nashville that I
do every year. It's in April, so I need to
start training for that society. Yes, but you did just
add something to your plate for sure, Yes I did,
which I mean, I just like, don't work out that
much anymore. It's bad and I love working out, So
(33:29):
that's been another thing. I'm like, Oh, I just need
to get back to my routine of working out. It
makes me feel better.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I feel that I've been trying really hard to work
out in the mornings before we come into work because
that seems like the only time in my life, and
even trying to do that, I haven't succeeded super well
these last couple months. Also, it doesn't help because in
my whole health journey, I learned that a lot of
the stuff I was doing was more harmful for my body,
like a lot of the workouts and stuff that I
(33:55):
was doing because because of the stage that I was
in of how all bad my body was just taking
hits left and right, that I wasn't allowing it to
have even recovery, if you will, because it's what you
know you grow up, if you play sports at all,
you're just trained into that mentality of you work out
every day and you'd lift weights and you'd go hard, right.
(34:15):
And I kind of had to really flip the script
on that, and so now it's hard for me to
get up to go work out because I'm like, well,
technically it's not like the best thing for me.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
It's a rest day and tomorrow's a rest day. Well,
get started.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Walking is super important and that I don't do enough
of and I've been trying to because we work setentary jobs.
Oh I know, and I don't get near enough stuffs in.
So that's kind of become a focus for me, is
trying to just walk more. Yeah, but then you learn
leave lose body masks. The whole thing it is.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
I know, I feel like I am like I have
no muscle anymore, like none, you know, and I want
to get back to that. I just feel so weak.
I hate feeling weak. It is not a good feeling.
You're not weak, though pretty weak. Did you try and
lift your phone and you couldn't you would then? Okay, okay,
did you try and lift a box and you couldn't? Remember?
(35:12):
One time you and I we like arm wrestled in
the green room. It was like dirt like a bit
we were doing oh yeah, and I just wanted to
see and I think like you almost snapped my arm,
Like I think I gave up and I was like, no,
let's not even try it.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Okay, but in all fairness, that was like prime morganim era.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah, that was like two years ago.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I was in full gym rat mode. So give yourself
some grapes.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
There now, I don't know that I would be able
to do that.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Okay, let's go. I'm just ready.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I'm wrestling.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
No, I don't have any muscles. Well, I'm exciting for you.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
This will be good.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Thanks. Yeah, I just need to get back and run,
get those endorphins going.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Because dorss make endorphins, make you happy. Why can't I
speak words in the studio.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yeah, it's something about these walls. They're so gray. I
don't know, sad. They make you tongue tied. I don't
know that's true.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
But okay, exciting marathon training is upcoming. You add more
to your plate, but also fun.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Yeah. Oh I do it every year. It's I have to.
It's just like there, but it just came up really
fast a year.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Do you have to start with training again even though
you've done it every year? Do you feel like you
have to retrain each year?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah? Yeah, it goes away really Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Like trying to speak a language.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
If you don't practice it, it goes away, right, because you
don't want to get injured, Like when you just go
out and do no miles and then you just do thirteen,
you can get injured, like shin splints are like my
hip's always hurt and stuff. So you just don't want
to get that.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
When I guess each year you're getting older and your
body changes as you get older.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Definitely, probably like twenty years ago, I would have been
fine just going on and running one. But now I'm like, oh,
you gotta train and you gotta strengthen those muscles that
like you're using, which I just don't do. I don't
do like the hip. You know, there's a lot of
hip muscles that are in there.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Oh, I get all kinds of videos on social media
for hip mobility. I'm like, is that some kind of
sign do I need this or something?
Speaker 4 (37:10):
May?
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, hip stability.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Awest, you can start working on your hip mobility.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I'm on a hip mobility plan.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
That from Morgan's algorithm, you get wedding stuff and hip mobility.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
And that was a hunch of the monkey.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
It's about all this on my algorithm, right, now that's
the cutest thing in the world. Is it sad? Because
they were like bullying him right, Oh, it's heartbreaking, And
that's why he went to hug the little monkey.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
They gave him the stuff to orangutang because he got
abandoned by his mom. They hand raised him for a
couple of weeks and then they were reintroducing him to
the troop and that's when they start bullying him because
he's a little different. Because once an animal has been
not necessarily touched, but just interacted with humans on a
(37:56):
certain level, there's something that happened and when they try
and integrate again, it either can go super smooth or
it doesn't, and it takes time. So it's super sad
to watch him get bullied.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
That's I hate it. I've only really seen like the
pictures of him like grabbing ring. It's so cute. I
know he's not on my algorithm, no will be.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Yeah, we talked about it.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
It's listening well and like that.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
The thing that I love about Punch too is that
I feel like it's bringing more awareness too, because that
enclosure that he's in is horrible. I've seen a lot
of people talking about how like depends on the monkey,
and they're more known for rocky environments and terrain. But
I'm like, there's not even a little bit of grass,
not even like some like everybody needs to touch grass.
(38:45):
Is it just like concrete? Yeah, that's all I've seen. Yeah,
And so that breaks my heart. So I feel like
it's bringing some awareness to that of just being more
aware of the things that you're supporting and in going to.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
And it's weird where is that.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
It's in Japan? And I think it's in a zoo
in Japan, But zoo's everywhere are hard, you know, like,
of course there's always some good ones, but a lot
of them aren't.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
I know.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
It makes me sad, And.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Then I watch Oh my gosh, I mentioned that on
part two of the podcast this week, I'm talking about
Sea Spearcy. Did you hear that us talking about that?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I did, Yeah, I haven't. I didn't see it, so
I want to know. It's gonna be sad.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Don't tell you it's horrible. It's horrible, but you should
watch it. What's it on It's on Netflix. Horrible. I'm
telling you it's horrible. You will be sad. It's heartbreaking,
but it's also having the information and the knowledge to
do better, you know, and if we close our eyes,
it's only gonna get worse. So it's like one of
those it's a catch twenty two. I hated watching it, genuinely.
(39:45):
There was times I had to look away.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Oh man, but it just.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah, And so then everything that falls from that just
makes you think about everything, any thing about like you know,
SeaWorld and aquariums and all kinds of things. And then
again I go down another rabbit hole.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
I know.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Oh see, all of that makes me sad too. They're confined, see, And.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
This is also why wedding planning is hard. Is that
just like I'm good, I'm happy, I'm in a really
good relationship, I'm so in love. Life is great, but
like also life is not great. I'm like ninety percent
of the things, And so wedding planning just feels like
so right.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
I don't know how to explain it. It just doesn't.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
It feels detached.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Yeah, because there's just so much like heavy stuff going
on out there that it's hard to plan something happy
exactly that's happening and.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
That's supposed to be a happy thing, and I don't
want it to be dooming gloom over that. Uh huh,
So I want to plan it when.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
I'm happy, right, So, I know, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
See a foreseeable future where I'm like not dooming gloom.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
I know who time? Oh okay, maybe uh twenty eight,
I'm just getting just waited a few years. No, it
has to get better. We must get better.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Yeah, that's why I'm watching more documentaries, just trying to
be more informed, understand what's going on, so then I
can make more informed decisions.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Do you like seafood? No, okay, well then you'll be good.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Don't You'll be good, but I but that's why I don't,
because I don't like that they get caught and you
kill them.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yeah, it's it's a lot of just the commercial fishing
industry in general, and how just horrible it is in
a lot of ways. And we could be doing better, right,
there's always ways we could be doing better. But so, yeah,
if you eat seafood, it's hard, it's gonna be a
hard watch, for sure. But if you don't, you know,
you're already one step closer to doing better.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
But yeah, I feel bad. I feel for them. I
feel feel for the crabs being taken out and they're suffocating. Yeah,
like stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Mm hmm, it's a lot of that. It's more, it's
more information on all of it. Crabs aren't in this one,
but sharks and no, I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
I already know if they did sharks the fins Yeah nope, no,
See that like literally breaks my heart. I want to
cry right now because I know it's just so messed up.
That's so messed up.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Yeah, humanity makes me sad.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
I hope you have a terrible days.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
So anyways, anyway, come Hell's happy anything.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Happy weddings for thirty minutes. I think we're good, okay,
but we you know, all over the place we are,
it's hard, Like genuinely, I'm just in a place where
it's hard to feel happy all the time. And I'm
somebody who's genuinely an optimistic person, and I see the
world in a way that we should be living in it.
(42:27):
But it's hard to not feel the heaviness of what's
just going on out there in general anywhere with everything.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
Oh my gosh, right now on my TikTok is like
nineties nostalgia and stuff you know, and I'm like, oh
my gosh, I'm gonna go back.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
To that simpler time.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yes, like just before phones and all that, like when
it was aim. I just remember like getting on my
computer and then you'd put like the away thing on.
I'm like eating dinner br B and I'd like make
it different colors and like you didn't talk on there
until you came back to the computer. Like just simple
like that.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Hm.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
If people had so much fun there were no phones
like out yeah, just like living in the moment.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Out in nature all the time and you're living your life.
Oh yeah, yeah, simpler times, that is. I think that's
a big part of also why people are craving nostalgia
right now, truly, is it goes it takes us back
to a different time at a happier time. Also, you
know you were kids. If you were a kid in
the nineties, then you're thinking back to reverting as a
(43:24):
kid and you just didn't have the same you didn't
have the knowledge that you have now.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
That's true. More innocent, just like ignorance is bliss, just
really and maybe it was happening, but I don't remember
it being this crazy out there. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
I mean there's always things happening, right, There was always bad.
There's always been bad in the world, but we are
more highlighted now because of our ability to have things
at our fingertips at all times.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
And it being recorded and then we see it.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Yeah, so there's it's a blessing and a curse. Right,
It's it's knowledge and we have more information now than
we've ever had before, and we get to have that
knowledge and we get to do something with it. But
on that flip side, it's also understanding that we now
have that knowledge that isn't good and there isn't things.
There's certain things you can't do anything about, right, and
(44:11):
you only have control over so much.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
But which is a problem for me, Yeah, because I
want to like, I want to help everything same and
I want to just be like, make it stop. But
we can't. We can act like everybody did. If we
all did, then we can make a difference.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
We can all you know, true one collective. Yes, there
is a belief that like everybody's consciously awakening together right
now and it's going to be a moment in time
that something happens. I don't know that that's true, but
there's a lot of people talking about.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
That, hopefully in a good way.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah, yeah, a good way. I think I know, but
I don't know. There's always also that saying where it's
bad things have to happen for good things to come
out into the open or whatever whatever that saying is.
So who knows. Anyways, Okay, that's not happy. Note it
hasn't been happy in your life right now?
Speaker 2 (45:02):
And on a good water something happy?
Speaker 1 (45:05):
What is something happy that happened in your life in
the past week.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
I don't know. Something I know, something anything, anything? I
had nothing happy.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
You're not helping us to end on a good note anything, I.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Don't I haven't felt good this week. It's been a
rough week, okay, allergies or something.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
What about going back to the month in the past month.
We're ending February, so this is a great place. I'll
share that we went and I talked with Mike d
about it, but it's still like, oh gosh, just wrings
in my head all the time. Is visiting the residence
at Apes Garden, which is a senior living facility, and
we gave him Valentines.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
That's so cute.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
It was so special, and he keeps propelling me forward.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
Honestly, I love that.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Yeah, so maybe that's a good thing that people can take.
If you need some hope in your life, or you're
feeling a little doom and gloom like Abby and I,
or things are just a little rough and life is
hectic and whatnot, then volunteer. Volunteering always makes me feel
back to earth, something about just being with people and
doing something that makes all of us feel good and
(46:12):
benefit from. Is good for your body, good for your mind.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yeah, No, I love that so much. Old people are
so cute and sweet. Before I was before. Yeah, sorry,
I'm sorry, that wasn't very nice. No, But before I
like worked in radio, I I did my internship at
a health and wellness center and it was a cardio
pulmonary rehab place, yeah center, And they were like exercising
(46:39):
under supervision, like we would take their blood pressure and
stuff during it. And that was like my all time.
It was the greatest thing ever because they like treated
me like their granddaughter, and I was like, they were
like my grandparents. They were so sweet. I just felt
like part of their lives and I was like, I
love this. When they like graduated from the program like
I wanted to, it was the saddest thing ever, Like
I was happy for them that they were like they
made it through and were able to be on their own.
(47:00):
But I was like, oh my gosh, I'm going to
miss you Bill, not Bail.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
I know they're so sweet.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
I know I didn't mean to say like old people,
but it's people are sweet. It's all right.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
I was guilty of it too before I started working
with that community. But the it's just rewarding. They have
so many stories to tell and they.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
Have a lot of love to give. But that was
the most fulfilling thing I had ever done.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
And maybe that's what we all need, is more fulfilling
things in our life we do, So maybe that can
you know, I'm I know that I'm holding onto that
and hopes to do some more volunteer stuff to continue
that because it's the only time where I truly feel
like a little weight lifted. I'm just Okay, this is
where I'm supposed to be, this is what I'm supposed
to be doing. Yeah, move in this.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Direction, and you know they're going to remember that forever.
Like that's so cute to like come in and just
give them like something small, but it means so much. Yeah,
especially for those they don't have family that visit or anything,
you know.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Yeah, and see that makes me down in a sad place,
so I'm not gonna go there. So I need a
good thing from you for this past month.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
No, I don't know. It was Valentine's Day. Yes, he
brought me flowers, wrote a super cute card. He's really
good at writing, and it was just super sweet.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
Did you feel loved this month?
Speaker 2 (48:14):
Felt loved? I did?
Speaker 1 (48:16):
Did you feel supported this month?
Speaker 2 (48:18):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (48:19):
Did you have any good meals this month?
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Sh sure? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (48:24):
Eat any good food?
Speaker 2 (48:25):
Yeah? We always have good food. Oh. I tried a
foe for the first time. Okay, did you get it?
Fu pho?
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Yeah it was fu.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
Oh it's like my new favorite thing. Really, it's really good.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
You're not super adventurous of food, so I'm impressed.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
Ry butts and salads yep, So fun is an adventurous
take for you.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Good. Yeah, it's weird they put so much stuff in
it because I'm very picky. Yeah, like I would rather
just have ramen noodles, like nothing.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Is straight up noodle.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
Yeah, but this they put like an egg and like
all this and he liked it.
Speaker 1 (48:59):
Yeah, we found good.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
We did.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
Okay, we're getting not here before I go back down
a rabbit hole and Abby find me and keeps digging
holes for.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
Me to go down. No, everything's great. I can't see outside,
but I'm sure it's sunny.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
It's all gray in here in the studio running That
does not help anybody. Why didn't they make these studios
of the walls blue or purple or red or right?
Speaker 2 (49:24):
What's a pleasant color? Because it could be anything but gray.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
You know what's funny is my favorite color has kind
of become brown. And it's funny because that's a neutral,
and that's like a kind of a sad color. Every
associate's brown with like mud or poop.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
No, I love brown. I was wearing all brown yesterday.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
I loved your brown out thick.
Speaker 3 (49:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
See, we did it.
Speaker 1 (49:42):

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Part one scene with a member of the show, Well.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
What's up friends, Happy weekend. Abby's joining me on Best
Bits this weekend. What's up, Abby?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
You ready to talk about some wedding conversation?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Are you? No? I mean you're there? We to We are.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I've gotten lots of questions and people wanting to know
how our wedding planning is going.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Not havyized to each other but individual nice shocker. No,
Abby and I are not getting married, but we are
getting married to other people.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
We are.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
So how is it going for you? Have you even
looked at anything or have you started what's your feelings thoughts?
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I really haven't. I have not, not even a little bit. No,
There's just been a lot happening in both of our lives.
That is just like, that's not I guess on the
front burner right now. Yeah, it's a full time job, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It is, Abby. The amount of things like I've started
to look, I've started to like creep in. When I
have a couple extra minutes here and there, I'll look
at different things, and I think I have a baseline now,
at least for what I want.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Okay, that's awesome, but it's so overwhelming.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I'm gonna tell you that right now. Like I start
to think I have one idea and I kind of
go down the path and then something like goes a
brick wall. I'm like, Okay, turn around, next idea, and
everything just keeps moving moving pieces of all the time.
Oh I bet.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And even like dates too, That's what I'm nervous about.
Like they go so fast.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
That there's people who have planned for like three years. Yeah,
they've had their they had their venue picked out before.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
They got engaged. Right, Uh huh, couldn't be me?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Was not me?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Same, I have nothing. But the good news is, as
I do think we've at least narrowed it down to
being that we would like to have a however you
want to word it, elopement, private ceremony, micro wedding somewhere
in the mountains with our immediate family only, and we
(02:01):
get like, have the ceremony, we have a fun little
weekend with everybody, and then we come back here we
have a party with all the people whoever wants to
come and just celebrate. Not a saram, not like a reception.
It's just like a party. Free food and free drinks
and music, a party, party vibes. I'm not going to decorate,
not spending thousands of dollars on flowers and you know,
(02:23):
who knows what wherever, just a big party to celebrate.
And then the goal and the dream is to go
to South Africa for our honeymoon.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Ooh that's awesome. Oh my gosh, yeah, you do have
it kind of.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I mean I'm meaning like a structure, you know what
I mean, Like I'm meaning ideas and thoughts.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Oh my gosh. I've never thought to go to Africa,
and I think it's like it's like the Safari and
all that. And see, I'm just such. I don't want
to see any animals die. I want to see circle
of life.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I'm the same as you. I don't. I don't feel
that way. But I also a circle of life doesn't
bother me as much as hunting poachers does in that capacity.
So as long as I'm not witnessing that side of it,
like nature being nature, I can handle a little bit more.
I'm not going to handle it super well. I cry
when any animal time, Like I cry if I actually
(03:18):
step on a snail. So here I am.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
You've done that. That's so sad. Oh it was horrible.
It was horrible. Aby.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I literally went inside and cried because, Yeah, I think
I told you one time, or I've talked about it
on Best Bits where I went to rescue a turtle
in the middle of the road and as I was
walking out to get it, somebody hit it ran over it.
Oh my gosh, And I can never get this sound
and the experience out of my head. Yeah, I want
to talk about it. Horrible, So, yeah, I'm with you.
(03:45):
The circle of life bothers me. But I'm also a
huge advocate for seeing animals in their natural habitat, and
the only way to do that is South Africa for
a lot of animals.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, no, I've heard nothing but good things. They're like
you have to do at some point in your life,
I know, but that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And but trying to figure out, you know, there's a
whole lot of regulations around that you have to get
different shots and do different things. While I'm also on
this crazy health journey of trying to like rid my
body of stuff and then also not bringing things back
to Remy and Hazel, who are my dog and cat
because they're both have immunal compromise diseases. It's just like,
(04:23):
I don't know if that will end up panning out
in the way that I want it to, in the
best safe way. Like, Honestly, the thing that's been the
hardest for me in general is that Remmy and Hazel
are my number one priority of life. They have been.
You know that you've watched them and both of them
having their recent diagnosis, Remy with Addison's disease, Hazel with
(04:45):
kidney disease. I've just added a bunch of layers to
our life. You know that nobody ever plans for but
my number one request for a wedding night. I've told
my fiance that from the day that I met him,
I said, if this works out, Remy and Hazel will
be at my weddings. No, you're never gonna argue that
you're never gonna it's not gonna happen, like that's a requirement,
(05:08):
and trying to get them like we're And then my
other one was that I wanted to be married in
the mountains. But the mountains to me are Colorado, right, Colorado,
and in the West. I think of the mountains out
west more than I do really the smokies, if you will,
and trying to figure out how to get both of
them there that's safe for them, oh right, and doesn't
(05:28):
add stress to their life. It's just not really working
out in the way that I had hoped.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Really, it's just like.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I can't do certain travel with Remy. I can't put
her on a flight, she's too big and do that
in a way that's not stressful to her. And that
means road tripping, which means taking more time off, which
also means them being in a car for twenty two
hours at you know, on the front and back end,
which are stressful situations. Not for Remy. Remy's like the
(05:56):
best little road trip traveler ever, but Hazel not so much.
She gets stressed out.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And I'm talking a long ride too.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, and she barely does the road trip to Wichita well,
which is eleven hours, you know, and that's double that.
So now I think we're starting to look at potentially
North Carolina Mountains something at that over here that's a
little bit less of a drive. And but that's what
keeps happening. It's like everywhere that I, oh, for sure,
it feels like a roadblock happens of like oh, this
(06:24):
is what I want. This is what we're gonna do.
We're gonna make it happen. And okay, never mind, I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Go back on that. Do you have a general date?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Like general, because it's gonna be like an elopement micro wedding.
We don't have to and I want it in nature.
That's also something that I really want that particular, like
the ceremony, I don't have to worry near as much
about like planning too far in advance for right.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, which is that's good? That makes it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yes huge, So potentially the fall I would love to
have it falls this year favorite Yeah whoa yeah, be ready. Yeah,
Because again, like when you do the elopement and stuff,
once you really get like a good elopement photographer who
is also a planner and can like sort that stuff out,
everything else kind of comes together pretty easily, and you
(07:12):
don't have to plan for vendors and you know, all
those different things to play.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
All that stresses me out When you say vendors. I'm
just like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Because we
went to like a bridal show just for fun. It
was like a couple of weeks ago, just to see
and I mean people were intense there, Like the girls
were dressed up and like they were ready to go
with their girls basically had sashes on, like I'm the
bride and I just walked in. We just like stopped by,
(07:39):
and they were so excited like writing things down. I'm like,
I'm literally just trying to get an idea of like
what it all entails. And I was like, oh my gosh,
day we need to go because it was just a lot.
It was helpful. I mean, it's cool to see what
there is like visually, but I was just like, oh
my gosh.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Well, I think that's the coolest thing about wedding sous.
There's endless options. You can really do whatever you want
to do. But with that comes a whole bunch of
money for one day. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I know. Oh man, Like I've talked to some of
my friends that have gotten married in like Kansas City,
and I'm shook if on it, and that's like Kansas City, Yeah,
and they were really nice weddings, But I mean, so Nashville,
it's not well.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I'm not also like, I do you feel like you're
the kind of person who loves to sit down meal
I'm not a big I don't need a five course dinner.
I've never done well with those.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
No, especially with people around, Like there's no way you're
even gonna be just like sitting.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Yeah, like the whole nice course meal. I'm like a
buffet girl. Give me a whole spread of options.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And I'm happy, right yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, And so like those nice weddings also just don't
do it for me, and that like I love attending them.
They're fun to experience and be a part of it.
But if it was my wedding and I just want
to like focus on getting married and hanging out with
the people that I love most, that doesn't feel like
the right track for me.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I know that?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah? No, I agree, Yeah, because I've been at both
types and I like them both. It's really nice to
just have like a really nice meal served you, yep.
But also I love the buffet because you can just
go get whatever you want and it's just feels more
like casual. Yeah, which I'm more casual than like formal. Same,
we're casual girlies, yes, yea, we are.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I had a friend that had a late night Mac
and cheese bar at her wedding then I still.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Think about it. That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Everyone's dancing and it was like the late night snack
and it was a mac and cheese bar, like build
your own. I still think about that a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
That's what I want to do. It's like something when
everybody you know, that midnight snack that people were like hungry.
You're like, okay, what can we bring out? That's like
somebody I knew how to French fry bar. See like
every type of friend like fry.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I love.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
That was the best.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And see if I can do like a party here.
I feel like I can implement some of those fun
things and it'd be more fun. Yeah, like little lively atmosphere.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Then.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
I don't know. Weddings for me specifically feeling like how
I feel. They feel performative. They feel like it's it's
to show everybody everything and like it's yourself. It doesn't
feel like a party sometimes, you know what I mean. Yeah,
And I just wanted to be a party. I wanted
to actually be fun. The whole point of getting married
(10:11):
is to have fun and to like be in love
and celebrate your love. And some weddings have been due
just feel a little bit more performative, and that's great
because they loved them. But I'm not that way.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yeah, I mean neither.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I don't want to perform for anybody.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
A beach in the sand, yep, wind blowing through my hair,
not like super formal and quiet, you know, I don't
like that.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Does your fiance lean into the beach idea too?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
He's good with it. Yeah, he thought it would be fun,
like a Nashville wedding because all his family and friends
would want to come. That'd be fun for them. But
I'm like, okay, you know how expensive that is in Nashville.
Like we've looked at some of the venues and my
jaw is like on the floor at one of them.
I couldn't even believe it. I couldn't even believe it.
I'm like, that's just for the venue.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, I'm scared email to have like just rent out
a place for a party. I'm scared for that email.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
And that's not even like a wedding venue.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I'm talking about like rennly out maybe like a little
restaurant space for three hours or something.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Which that'd probably better something like that, but not an
actual like venue. Yeah, it's it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
That you guys are on the same wavelength though. Yeah,
it's tough when people are on two different ones and
somebody wants a micro wedding and somebody wants a massive wedding.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
That's true, but he's also like he's a get done person.
I'm like, oh, I don't know. So he's kind of
at the point like, okay, do you want me to design?
Like if you.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Can't, I'm like, oh, I don't know. So do you
guys want to get married this year?
Speaker 2 (11:36):
I mean I wanted like fall or spring springs too soon? Fall?
I feel like it's still a little soon.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Of this year. Yeah, we are technically, especially at this
point after the cruise, were going to be in March.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Yes, which is spring. So that's not gonna happen unless
just like an elopement.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, let's just drive down to the beach and go
get a lot, like you know, you guys.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Which could happen. That could, but I don't see myself
doing that. I need my people there at least, like
my main like family and you know.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Kind of like what I'm talking about. But on a beach, yeah, exactly,
which is easy to do. I mean, heck, even if
you have two months.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Notice.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You can easy make that happen, you know what I mean, Like,
you just need enough time for everybody to buy cheap
flights and be there.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
We're also talking about renting if we do a mountain place,
if we can hopefully find one that works with everything
is renting out an airbnb and we're all staying there together.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Oh nice. Yeah, I've thought about that too. Yeah, that'd
be so fun just to have like a ten bedroom
place or.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Something exactly and just find everybody hangs out, we play games,
we get some like taco bar happening in there, and
or some Italian that we pick up from a restaurant.
I don't know, I just I love the The act
to me of a wedding is just supposed to be
about family and love and gathering more than it is
about the presentation of it. And don't get me wrong,
(12:58):
I'm gonna find me a really pretty well dress and
that's gonna be the presentation that.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Matters to me. I can't wait to try on dresses
I have to do.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I haven't either. Well, okay, I did one, but it
was for a friends thing. It wasn't for my wedding. Okay, yeah,
it was not part of like my wedding dress shopping, which.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Was funny, you go dress shopping?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
No, No, But we are talking about going in April,
so we're in Nashville. Yeah, I think my family and
his family's gonna fly in all the girls and go
pick out or go try on wedding dresses and have
that whole experience for a weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Oh my gosh, that's what I'm most excited for because
I you know how people go and just like try
them on for fun. I was like, I'm not gonna
Why would I ever do that? Why would I get
my hopes up, you know, and never try one on
before I'm actually engaged. So it's really exciting.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And the same way, I haven't tried one on either
until my friend's like event that I was doing something
with her for. I was like, this is the first
time I'm trying on wedding dresses ever.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
And that's not weird. Actually a fiance too.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Is that weird?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
It felt, Oh my gosh, it's gonna be like crazy
because I've always like watched it, you know, on shows
like where they're like they go together and try on
a dress and it's like super emotional and Yep, I've
just seen that.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Part, so I know now we get experience that this year.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I'm with you. That is the part that I'm most
excited about. I'm trying to think of like the other
things that I'm most excited about too. Okay, well we'll
take a break, we'll come back and we'll keep talking
more wedding things. I'm also such a foodie, so really
thinking about the food around the event. If you can't tell, yeah,
I'm excited about food.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I'm excited for the cake, trying all the different ones.
So if you do a little moment when you still
get a cake, yeah, yeah, you have to have the cake,
you have to cut the cake. But I guess if
you have that party, is that when you have the cake,
like when you come back, you could also.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You know, the best part, you can do whatever the
heck you.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Want now, whatever you want it, you're reporting.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
To exactly, and that's how it's supposed to be. It's
not anybody else's wedding. It's not you know, Mima from
eight sisters down, it's not their wedding.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
And that's why it's so hard, because the possibilities are endless.
I mean, well, you got a budget. If you have
a budget, yeah, you can't have everything. But I'm like, oh,
you can have that anything.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Well, and you know, like think the budget too. Thing
is also driving me crazy with the elopement stuff, because
even elopements are now expensive. Trying to find if you
do hire a photographer wedding planner that's also expensive, Yes,
insanely expensive. I'm not saying also like insanely expensive. And
that's then I start adding up price. I'm like, Okay,
if I do it this way, is it still gonna
(15:33):
be the same amount. I just had a wedding here
at this place on one day, but that's not what
I want.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I know, everything is jacked up when it has to
do with a wedding. Like if you say wedding, you know,
you could be like, oh, I want to rent this
place for a birthday party. If you say it's for
a wedding, it's probably like double I mean that's what
I've heard.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I know there's people doing this, and now I'm on
wedding talk. I saw one girl post and she was
like thinking about playing my I mean, then there's all
these like dumpster fire memes popping up after and I
was like that's my brain right now, Yeah, that's how
I feel. But there's a lot of people on wedding
talk talking about how this is the case. If you
(16:11):
mentioned wedding, and I'm the person who completely respects that
anyone in the service industry, you pay for what you're getting, right,
And I very much believe in that, And there are
things that make sense for costs. But it's like search
pricing in ubers, right, Yeah, you need people need the services,
(16:32):
they're going to use it. But the difference is do
I need the service, you know, at the end of
the day, Do I need the service?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah? I know?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Or is it something I can figure something else out?
And that's what's hard about it, you know, and then
you regret it. Like one thing that my fiance and
I have talked about is him and I both love
photos videos, Like that's how we just see life. We
love to take pictures, we love to have pictures. We
loved I for our one year, I got the photo
(17:01):
books of all of our trips. Each one was a
different book of all of our photos we took of
each trip, and like, that's just how we love to
see our life is through the pictures that we took
and what we did, and so that's a priority, but
a priority to have photo and videos everybody fifteen grand
fifteen grand what yeah, whoa, oh my yeah insane again.
(17:26):
I respect it. I know that's a grind. I work
in photo and video. I know how much work that is,
and I respect it. But it's wild. Yeah, that's wild
to me.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
And that's only one thing. That's only one thing you're scheduling.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
That's one and that's if you like, just get one
or the other.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
It.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, So these are the rabbit holes I go down
and then I just end up quitting because I get overwhelmed.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Oh good, well I'm not even in any rabbit holes,
and it's comfortable.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
You're not quitting it on because you don't have to start.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I like looked at on the rabbit hole. I'm like, nah,
I'll stay up here. That's good.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
So you're like watching my little tail be down there,
and then I just like back.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Back up, moan, just give me like the recap. Oh
not so bad. Yeah. Yeah, one of these days I'll
be able to jump in one of things. I feel
like we'll get less crazy.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
And I do feel like after the cruise I'll have
some time because I've kind of been zeroed in on
that and trying to work on just eighty million different
projects to prepare for being gone. That's the other thing.
Is so much of this job as being prepared to
be gone, to then be ready to be gone so
then when you come back it's not a disaster.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah yeah, And I'm doing a lot of that.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
So I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
I'm overwel We'll get it.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
I love being engaged, and I'm so excited to get married,
like genuinely so excited. But weddings these days have just
become such an event and it's just not That's not
what I pictured when I was a kid, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, you know, I hear you.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I don't know, that's my thoughts right now, anything running
through your head.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I don't think so No, I'm just so on the
I'm still on the fence of like the beach or home.
It's it's hard because i feel like I want so
many people to be there at the wedding, Like I
want to do what you want, you like the small
wedding and then come back and have the party. But
I'm also like, oh, I want them at the wedding too,
and then we could just do a reception right after.
So both, Like I want to do both, So how
(19:28):
do you decide which one?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
And I think a lot of sadly, a lot of
it comes down to money and budget at the end.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Of the day.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, that's true, and figuring out just what works best
and how it works and what you want ultimately, because
there are so many outside factors in it, right, and
just people who just want I can't believe how many
people are just like I can't you know, I can't
wait for your wedding and I can't. I'm like, wait, what,
I don't even know if I'm having a wedding, I
(19:54):
do how you can't wait for it? Yeah, that's crazy,
you know, right, And because that's kind of a societal
thing where we've been. You know, you get married and
everybody comes, and that's what happens, huh. But then in
my head, I'm like, you think there's a wedding, I
don't even know why wedding's happening and when is happening, and.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
It's impossible to invite everybody, you know, and you know,
like everybody thinks that if they talk to you, they
might it's hard, and that is hard. Where do you
do the cutoff? That's another thing too. Oh that's what
cut make.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
That's how exactly. That's how we got to the micro
wedding idea was because we started spiraling when we like
were like, Okay, we're going to do close just our
immediate family, and then we do like our wedding parties.
But then the moment we started adding the wedding parties,
it was like a trickle down effect. It just things
kept eating added. I was like, what this went from
(20:48):
micro to.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Macro real fast? Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I was like, okay, back all that, back up immediate family.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Wait, do you know how many do you want bridesmaids?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Well, if we get if we do an elopement style,
there's really just not that Yeah. So I think I
do a trip with my friends just to celebrate with
them and just give people different opportunities to celebrate, whether
they want to come to the party or whether they
want to come and do a trip together and kind
of loop that trip in with like what would be
(21:19):
a bridal shower or whatever. I just don't I don't
want people to spend a bunch of money either, you know.
I know, yeah, because I know that's a valuable right now.
And if I do a trip, I want them to
want to go on the trip for it to be
an actual trip versus just another bachelorette party.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
And I have to think, because like I love going
to weddings, Oh my gosh, like sign me up, no
matter where it is, I want to go. But it's
like some people they don't. I always think that, I'm like,
what if they don't want to? What if it's too
much trouble for them, because it is a lot if
you have kids or pets, like, it's a lot. Well,
I know, out of town.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Their responsibility to say no, you know, and at least
they got the invitation, because that's what everybody wants at
the end of the day, is ination, yeah, to then
say no. But that's the other thing. Kid free wedding
Mars will be kid free party or ceremony besides our
immediate family and our nieces essentially. So that's another thing
(22:18):
too that adds a layer. People have a whole lot
of opinions on that.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Oh my, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I would imagine if you had a wedding here, I
wouldn't be kid free because he has kids, right, it
could just be his kids that come. Would you have
a kid free wedding? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:31):
I would, yes, uh huh. I feel like every wedding
I've been to has been kid free. Well no, not really,
not really actually no, because they're.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Like yeah all the way. No, just none of them.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Never mind, I do remember them, like, and it's always
like when it's really quiet in a church, Yeah, they
have to like take them out or something. But mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
That's another aspect for sure, and that adds even more.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
That's stress. I get stressed on anything. But actually I
don't know. I don't know. We'll see. No, I would
want it to be a kid for I think.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
You're like a being s farmball. This is like me
when I keep choosing a different thing.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Me in real time planning. Yeah, in real time. You're
doing it in the.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
Rabbit hole with me, cure down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
I hate it. I hate doing that. Yeah, I hate
it here too. Oh my head hurts.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Oh that's so bad.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Oh my gosh. That was real time of me being like,
oh no, well actually huh oh no, wonder he's annoyed.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
It's okay. You will figure it out. And it's like
Both of our fiances have been great about it. They
both want what we want at the end of the day.
And my fiance is the same. He just wants to
celebrate with our friends at the end of it all.
And he's like, however we want to do that. We
could have a.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Party at the house for all I care.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
He's just very well, key chill, yeah, yeah, which is
that's good.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, that is good, just to be happy. We're similar. Yeah,
it's not like, Oh, I'm inviting five hundred people to
my wedding and I'm having it a castle. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I did think about that. There's a true elopement. People
go to the Dolomites in Italy.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Oh my, okay, well that's and I have for.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The actual like to just do it in Italy where
the place is I know, but I can't bring roomy
and haze. Also, oh knocked that out for me. Oh well,
but the okay, am I wrong on this? Tell me?
Am I wrong? Because you've been to North Carolina and
the Smokies, right, yeah, and you've obviously been out west
the mountains out west. Do you think the Smokies in
(24:34):
North Carolina mountains are mountains compared to like the mountains
in the west.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
No, right, I don't think there are.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Mountains like landscape whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
The actual they're so beautiful, the ones in like North Carolina,
like the ones east, they're so pretty, but I don't
actually like think of them as being full blown like
take your breath away mountains, like when I was out
for the Broncos game. I mean, you see those and
you're just like, oh my gosh. I mean, I still
think they're really pretty, but they're not quite like the
(25:08):
ones in Denver.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, it's like the peaks of them.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, they're not as high, are they.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
The Appalachian Mountains and Smoky Mountains. No, those are the
only two like major mountain ranges that I'm aware of
over here on the East Coast. I might just like
brief knowledge right now without googling, But no, and I
have a lot more fourteen footers like the actual Outpine
my mountains and stuff out west.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
But maybe it's just because my viewpoint, like I've seen
the rocket like from far away and so you get
that full effect. I don't know if I've gone far
enough east to actually see that. I don't. It's harder
to see them because it's just so hilly. You don't
get just this full on.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Few everything in my research because I'm I keep trying
to find videos of elutements just everywhere to see where
I can manage and know they're not anywhere near each other.
I really feel like the mountains of an East are
just more rolling, ginormous structures, and then the mountains out
west are like peaks, true, like jagged edged peaks, you
(26:14):
know what I mean. And that's what I think of
as a mountain.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, me too. They're more they have like this blue
look to them, like in Denver. You know, it's like
blue and I don't know, it's like the.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Cores light can. Yes, there we go, your mountain of
your If the mountains are blue, it's cold or change. Yeah,
I'm the Cans.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I know what you're saying. I know what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
The mountains are white or blue.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I think it's blue if they're blue, and then you
drink it because it's cold or whatever. But yeah, And
that's that's another thing I struggle with, is because it's
not the true mountains that I think of to get
married in. But I'm just a mountain girly like I
belong in a mountain top. It's what it is.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
That's why I want to get married in one.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Maybe I'll move back there someday.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Hey, maybe you could.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
This is this is why I haven't talked about any
wedding planning.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Same. Oh my gosh, I get that text like daily,
Hey have you you have any plans? No, They're probably like,
what are you doing? I'm like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Well, in all spare niling, most people get engaged and
they have their wedding plan in like two months.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah they do.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I have two friends that got engaged, one that got
engaged the month before I did, one that got engaged
the month after me. Both have already sent out there
saved the dates.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
And I've already know they haven't that's to send me out.
They need to chill, they need to like slow their role.
Oh gosh.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
I was like, dang, good for you guys. I don't
know anything.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
No.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I've seen a lot, like on the Nashville Like there's
girls groups or whatever on Facebook and they're all like, hey,
just got engaged yesterday, Like when when am I supposters
send to save the dates and like all this stuff
like hey, we already picked the venue. I got engaged
last week. But blah blah blah, I'm like, oh my gosh, okay,
clickive up.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
That's insanity to me. I bringame. I was just enjoying
being engaged for a hot minute, you know, like, I know,
have a ring on my finger. I'm just getting used
to bringing the ring with me everywhere. How could I
even think about like the second part of that.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I actually applaud them. That's pretty cool. I wish I
was like that. I wish I was just like, okay,
oh we got this place, this date. Uh oh, we
got our invite lists. Okay, we're good. I wish I
could do that.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I love that for people.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I do love that.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
For you could not be secret? What is your secret?
Oh my gosh, I know. Okay, you would have think too.
We were the Pinterest generation. We grew up on Pinterest
and we pinned everything. I had a wedding board. Everybody
did nothing on that. Pintrean's board is the same for
me today, I am not the same human.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
That's kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Did you ever have a wedding picturespoort?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Not?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Really? No, I was that type that I don't like
to get my hopes up. I don't like to plan
for things that I don't know if are going to happen.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Worst case scenario, girl, I see you, It's all happened.
I'm gonna pland for it.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
I don't know, I don't know. I was, Yeah, I
mean I did like a generic one, I guess, just ideas.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
But you should have seen the things that were on
my pinder's board from when I was a teenager.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
What was it.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
There was all kinds of colors in different directions that
did not match each other, mind you, and just different ideas.
I really thought I wanted a barn wedding, which I love.
Barn weddings are so beautiful. I don't I've drastically changed
who I was as a teenager.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
That is. That is very interesting. That's cool. It's cool though,
it's cool to look back on. Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
But nothing the same. Like I even thought I wanted
an engagement ring that had a sapphire diamond or green
I can't remember what the green ones are called.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Is it emerald?
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yes, Emerald. I thought I had those pinned because those
are the rings that I thought I wanted. Then I
went in person when we went rings shopping. I was like,
never mind, you didn't like it. I was like, maybe
that's like a a fun anniversary gift at a certain point. Yeah,
because I loved them, but they just didn't scream engagement
ring to me when I was actually putting them on
and stuff. But yeah, I've gone through a few lives.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You know you have well now what you have is
I guess it matters, But it is interesting to look
back and see what you used to have.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Did you think he wanted to bech wedding when you
were a kid? Do you remember that? Cause clearly now
you've always been like as an adult, but were you
as a kid.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, Oh, I definitely was. Huh, But I just didn't
think a wedding was there, you know, like my mom
got married for the second time to my stepdad at beach.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
And that introduced it.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah, but that was more like recent. I guess. I
always thought like a wedding had to be in a church,
walking down the aisle, Like that's just what I pictured
a church to be, you know how a wedding, you know,
like even the emoji or whatever on your iPhone, it's
like a church. And then like the love or a heart.
I just always thought it had to be like this
formal lock down the aisle and do that. So that's
(31:05):
kind of what I always pictured. But now I'm like, no,
that's that's not me. To be in like a inside
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Know inside, not to be in a church.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I'm just kidding, not to be inside and like quiet,
like I don't like where you can hear like just
every pin drop. Yes, that always there's something that. Yeah,
we're casual.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Yeah, you and I are both casual for sure. So
there's our entire wedding updates.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Awesome, we're making progress. You're making progret but.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yes, exactly, that's literally what I'm making.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
That's about it. Not quite progress, but plog wess oh man.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
So maybe we'll both be married by the end of
this year or maybe next year.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I don't know. You never know.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
No.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I do kind of feel better though, because I thought
I was way behind.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
No, I'm I'm with you, honestly, Like work just kind
of dominates my life a little bit, and so it's
hard to focus on other things. And I'm also trying
to have a social life and take care of my health,
and both of my dog and cat are going through stuff,
and it's just hard to make something a priority. That's
another full time job, truly it is.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean that's wedding planners, which I thinking
about hiring yah planner to help me.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
I see why they're important. I see why the services
are necessary. I get it all understandable. So we'll see.
But maybe maybe by fall i've done it.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Yeah, tad a little not. Oh my gosh, that's crazy.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Okay, we're gonna take a break, welcome back, talk about
some other things outside of wedding things. I really loved
my consistency in that in both of those breaks. Right
before I said wedding things.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Wedding things. Yeah, yes, I.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Really appreciated that about myself. Okay, outside of wedding planning,
what's going on in your life right now?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Oh? Not much. Trying to survive. Trying to survive.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
You mentioned you were about to start training, Yes.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
So yeah, I need to start doing that now that
the weather's getting nicer. Yeah, because I'm doing the half
marathon again the Saint Jude won in Nashville that I
do every year. It's in April, so I need to
start training for that society. Yes, but you did just
add something to your plate for sure, Yes I did,
which I mean, I just like, don't work out that
much anymore. It's bad and I love working out, So
(33:29):
that's been another thing. I'm like, Oh, I just need
to get back to my routine of working out. It
makes me feel better.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
I feel that I've been trying really hard to work
out in the mornings before we come into work because
that seems like the only time in my life, and
even trying to do that, I haven't succeeded super well
these last couple months. Also, it doesn't help because in
my whole health journey, I learned that a lot of
the stuff I was doing was more harmful for my body,
like a lot of the workouts and stuff that I
(33:55):
was doing because because of the stage that I was
in of how all bad my body was just taking
hits left and right, that I wasn't allowing it to
have even recovery, if you will, because it's what you
know you grow up, if you play sports at all,
you're just trained into that mentality of you work out
every day and you'd lift weights and you'd go hard, right.
(34:15):
And I kind of had to really flip the script
on that, and so now it's hard for me to
get up to go work out because I'm like, well,
technically it's not like the best thing for me.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
It's a rest day and tomorrow's a rest day. Well,
get started.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Walking is super important and that I don't do enough
of and I've been trying to because we work setentary jobs.
Oh I know, and I don't get near enough stuffs in.
So that's kind of become a focus for me, is
trying to just walk more. Yeah, but then you learn
leave lose body masks. The whole thing it is.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
I know, I feel like I am like I have
no muscle anymore, like none, you know, and I want
to get back to that. I just feel so weak.
I hate feeling weak. It is not a good feeling.
You're not weak, though pretty weak. Did you try and
lift your phone and you couldn't you would then? Okay, okay,
did you try and lift a box and you couldn't? Remember?
(35:12):
One time you and I we like arm wrestled in
the green room. It was like dirt like a bit
we were doing oh yeah, and I just wanted to
see and I think like you almost snapped my arm,
Like I think I gave up and I was like, no,
let's not even try it.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Okay, but in all fairness, that was like prime morganim era.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeah, that was like two years ago.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
I was in full gym rat mode. So give yourself
some grapes.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
There now, I don't know that I would be able
to do that.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Okay, let's go. I'm just ready.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I'm wrestling.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
No, I don't have any muscles. Well, I'm exciting for you.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
This will be good.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Thanks. Yeah, I just need to get back and run,
get those endorphins going.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Because dorss make endorphins, make you happy. Why can't I
speak words in the studio.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yeah, it's something about these walls. They're so gray. I
don't know, sad. They make you tongue tied. I don't
know that's true.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
But okay, exciting marathon training is upcoming. You add more
to your plate, but also fun.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Yeah. Oh I do it every year. It's I have to.
It's just like there, but it just came up really
fast a year.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Do you have to start with training again even though
you've done it every year? Do you feel like you
have to retrain each year?
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Yeah? Yeah, it goes away really Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Like trying to speak a language.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
If you don't practice it, it goes away, right, because you
don't want to get injured, Like when you just go
out and do no miles and then you just do thirteen,
you can get injured, like shin splints are like my
hip's always hurt and stuff. So you just don't want
to get that.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
When I guess each year you're getting older and your
body changes as you get older.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Definitely, probably like twenty years ago, I would have been
fine just going on and running one. But now I'm like, oh,
you gotta train and you gotta strengthen those muscles that
like you're using, which I just don't do. I don't
do like the hip. You know, there's a lot of
hip muscles that are in there.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Oh, I get all kinds of videos on social media
for hip mobility. I'm like, is that some kind of
sign do I need this or something?
Speaker 4 (37:10):
May?
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Yeah, hip stability.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Awest, you can start working on your hip mobility.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
I'm on a hip mobility plan.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
That from Morgan's algorithm, you get wedding stuff and hip mobility.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
And that was a hunch of the monkey.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
It's about all this on my algorithm, right, now that's
the cutest thing in the world. Is it sad? Because
they were like bullying him right, Oh, it's heartbreaking, And
that's why he went to hug the little monkey.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
They gave him the stuff to orangutang because he got
abandoned by his mom. They hand raised him for a
couple of weeks and then they were reintroducing him to
the troop and that's when they start bullying him because
he's a little different. Because once an animal has been
not necessarily touched, but just interacted with humans on a
(37:56):
certain level, there's something that happened and when they try
and integrate again, it either can go super smooth or
it doesn't, and it takes time. So it's super sad
to watch him get bullied.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
That's I hate it. I've only really seen like the
pictures of him like grabbing ring. It's so cute. I
know he's not on my algorithm, no will be.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Yeah, we talked about it.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
It's listening well and like that.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
The thing that I love about Punch too is that
I feel like it's bringing more awareness too, because that
enclosure that he's in is horrible. I've seen a lot
of people talking about how like depends on the monkey,
and they're more known for rocky environments and terrain. But
I'm like, there's not even a little bit of grass,
not even like some like everybody needs to touch grass.
(38:45):
Is it just like concrete? Yeah, that's all I've seen. Yeah,
And so that breaks my heart. So I feel like
it's bringing some awareness to that of just being more
aware of the things that you're supporting and in going to.
Speaker 2 (38:58):
And it's weird where is that.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
It's in Japan? And I think it's in a zoo
in Japan, But zoo's everywhere are hard, you know, like,
of course there's always some good ones, but a lot
of them aren't.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
I know.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
It makes me sad, And.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Then I watch Oh my gosh, I mentioned that on
part two of the podcast this week, I'm talking about
Sea Spearcy. Did you hear that us talking about that?
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I did, Yeah, I haven't. I didn't see it, so
I want to know. It's gonna be sad.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Don't tell you it's horrible. It's horrible, but you should
watch it. What's it on It's on Netflix. Horrible. I'm
telling you it's horrible. You will be sad. It's heartbreaking,
but it's also having the information and the knowledge to
do better, you know, and if we close our eyes,
it's only gonna get worse. So it's like one of
those it's a catch twenty two. I hated watching it, genuinely.
(39:45):
There was times I had to look away.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Oh man, but it just.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Yeah, And so then everything that falls from that just
makes you think about everything, any thing about like you know,
SeaWorld and aquariums and all kinds of things. And then
again I go down another rabbit hole.
Speaker 3 (39:59):
I know.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
Oh see, all of that makes me sad too. They're confined, see, And.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
This is also why wedding planning is hard. Is that
just like I'm good, I'm happy, I'm in a really
good relationship, I'm so in love. Life is great, but
like also life is not great. I'm like ninety percent
of the things, And so wedding planning just feels like
so right.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
I don't know how to explain it. It just doesn't.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
It feels detached.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Yeah, because there's just so much like heavy stuff going
on out there that it's hard to plan something happy
exactly that's happening and.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
That's supposed to be a happy thing, and I don't
want it to be dooming gloom over that. Uh huh,
So I want to plan it when.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
I'm happy, right, So, I know, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
See a foreseeable future where I'm like not dooming gloom.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
I know who time? Oh okay, maybe uh twenty eight,
I'm just getting just waited a few years. No, it
has to get better. We must get better.
Speaker 1 (40:51):
Yeah, that's why I'm watching more documentaries, just trying to
be more informed, understand what's going on, so then I
can make more informed decisions.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Do you like seafood? No, okay, well then you'll be good.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Don't You'll be good, but I but that's why I don't,
because I don't like that they get caught and you
kill them.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
Yeah, it's it's a lot of just the commercial fishing
industry in general, and how just horrible it is in
a lot of ways. And we could be doing better, right,
there's always ways we could be doing better. But so, yeah,
if you eat seafood, it's hard, it's gonna be a
hard watch, for sure. But if you don't, you know,
you're already one step closer to doing better.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
But yeah, I feel bad. I feel for them. I
feel feel for the crabs being taken out and they're suffocating. Yeah,
like stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Mm hmm, it's a lot of that. It's more, it's
more information on all of it. Crabs aren't in this one,
but sharks and no, I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
I already know if they did sharks the fins Yeah nope, no,
See that like literally breaks my heart. I want to
cry right now because I know it's just so messed up.
That's so messed up.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Yeah, humanity makes me sad.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
I hope you have a terrible days.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
So anyways, anyway, come Hell's happy anything.
Speaker 1 (42:07):
Happy weddings for thirty minutes. I think we're good, okay,
but we you know, all over the place we are,
it's hard, Like genuinely, I'm just in a place where
it's hard to feel happy all the time. And I'm
somebody who's genuinely an optimistic person, and I see the
world in a way that we should be living in it.
(42:27):
But it's hard to not feel the heaviness of what's
just going on out there in general anywhere with everything.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
Oh my gosh, right now on my TikTok is like
nineties nostalgia and stuff you know, and I'm like, oh
my gosh, I'm gonna go back.
Speaker 1 (42:40):
To that simpler time.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
Yes, like just before phones and all that, like when
it was aim. I just remember like getting on my
computer and then you'd put like the away thing on.
I'm like eating dinner br B and I'd like make
it different colors and like you didn't talk on there
until you came back to the computer. Like just simple
like that.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Hm.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
If people had so much fun there were no phones
like out yeah, just like living in the moment.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Out in nature all the time and you're living your life.
Oh yeah, yeah, simpler times, that is. I think that's
a big part of also why people are craving nostalgia
right now, truly, is it goes it takes us back
to a different time at a happier time. Also, you
know you were kids. If you were a kid in
the nineties, then you're thinking back to reverting as a
(43:24):
kid and you just didn't have the same you didn't
have the knowledge that you have now.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
That's true. More innocent, just like ignorance is bliss, just
really and maybe it was happening, but I don't remember
it being this crazy out there. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
I mean there's always things happening, right, There was always bad.
There's always been bad in the world, but we are
more highlighted now because of our ability to have things
at our fingertips at all times.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
And it being recorded and then we see it.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Yeah, so there's it's a blessing and a curse. Right,
It's it's knowledge and we have more information now than
we've ever had before, and we get to have that
knowledge and we get to do something with it. But
on that flip side, it's also understanding that we now
have that knowledge that isn't good and there isn't things.
There's certain things you can't do anything about, right, and
(44:11):
you only have control over so much.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
But which is a problem for me, Yeah, because I
want to like, I want to help everything same and
I want to just be like, make it stop. But
we can't. We can act like everybody did. If we
all did, then we can make a difference.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
We can all you know, true one collective. Yes, there
is a belief that like everybody's consciously awakening together right
now and it's going to be a moment in time
that something happens. I don't know that that's true, but
there's a lot of people talking about.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
That, hopefully in a good way.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah, yeah, a good way. I think I know, but
I don't know. There's always also that saying where it's
bad things have to happen for good things to come
out into the open or whatever whatever that saying is.
So who knows. Anyways, Okay, that's not happy. Note it
hasn't been happy in your life right now?
Speaker 2 (45:02):
And on a good water something happy?
Speaker 1 (45:05):
What is something happy that happened in your life in
the past week.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
I don't know. Something I know, something anything, anything? I
had nothing happy.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
You're not helping us to end on a good note anything, I.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
Don't I haven't felt good this week. It's been a
rough week, okay, allergies or something.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
What about going back to the month in the past month.
We're ending February, so this is a great place. I'll
share that we went and I talked with Mike d
about it, but it's still like, oh gosh, just wrings
in my head all the time. Is visiting the residence
at Apes Garden, which is a senior living facility, and
we gave him Valentines.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
That's so cute.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
It was so special, and he keeps propelling me forward.
Speaker 2 (45:48):
Honestly, I love that.
Speaker 1 (45:50):
Yeah, so maybe that's a good thing that people can take.
If you need some hope in your life, or you're
feeling a little doom and gloom like Abby and I,
or things are just a little rough and life is
hectic and whatnot, then volunteer. Volunteering always makes me feel
back to earth, something about just being with people and
doing something that makes all of us feel good and
(46:12):
benefit from. Is good for your body, good for your mind.
Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yeah, No, I love that so much. Old people are
so cute and sweet. Before I was before. Yeah, sorry,
I'm sorry, that wasn't very nice. No, But before I
like worked in radio, I I did my internship at
a health and wellness center and it was a cardio
pulmonary rehab place, yeah center, And they were like exercising
(46:39):
under supervision, like we would take their blood pressure and
stuff during it. And that was like my all time.
It was the greatest thing ever because they like treated
me like their granddaughter, and I was like, they were
like my grandparents. They were so sweet. I just felt
like part of their lives and I was like, I
love this. When they like graduated from the program like
I wanted to, it was the saddest thing ever, Like
I was happy for them that they were like they
made it through and were able to be on their own.
(47:00):
But I was like, oh my gosh, I'm going to
miss you Bill, not Bail.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
I know they're so sweet.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
I know I didn't mean to say like old people,
but it's people are sweet. It's all right.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
I was guilty of it too before I started working
with that community. But the it's just rewarding. They have
so many stories to tell and they.
Speaker 2 (47:20):
Have a lot of love to give. But that was
the most fulfilling thing I had ever done.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
And maybe that's what we all need, is more fulfilling
things in our life we do, So maybe that can
you know, I'm I know that I'm holding onto that
and hopes to do some more volunteer stuff to continue
that because it's the only time where I truly feel
like a little weight lifted. I'm just Okay, this is
where I'm supposed to be, this is what I'm supposed
to be doing. Yeah, move in this.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Direction, and you know they're going to remember that forever.
Like that's so cute to like come in and just
give them like something small, but it means so much. Yeah,
especially for those they don't have family that visit or anything,
you know.
Speaker 1 (47:56):
Yeah, and see that makes me down in a sad place,
so I'm not gonna go there. So I need a
good thing from you for this past month.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
No, I don't know. It was Valentine's Day. Yes, he
brought me flowers, wrote a super cute card. He's really
good at writing, and it was just super sweet.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
Did you feel loved this month?
Speaker 2 (48:14):
Felt loved? I did?
Speaker 1 (48:16):
Did you feel supported this month?
Speaker 2 (48:18):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (48:19):
Did you have any good meals this month?
Speaker 2 (48:23):
Sh sure? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (48:24):
Eat any good food?
Speaker 2 (48:25):
Yeah? We always have good food. Oh. I tried a
foe for the first time. Okay, did you get it?
Fu pho?
Speaker 1 (48:32):
Yeah it was fu.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
Oh it's like my new favorite thing. Really, it's really good.
Speaker 1 (48:37):
You're not super adventurous of food, so I'm impressed.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
Ry butts and salads yep, So fun is an adventurous
take for you.
Speaker 2 (48:46):
Good. Yeah, it's weird they put so much stuff in
it because I'm very picky. Yeah, like I would rather
just have ramen noodles, like nothing.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
Is straight up noodle.
Speaker 2 (48:54):
Yeah, but this they put like an egg and like
all this and he liked it.
Speaker 1 (48:59):
Yeah, we found good.
Speaker 2 (49:00):
We did.
Speaker 1 (49:03):
Okay, we're getting not here before I go back down
a rabbit hole and Abby find me and keeps digging
holes for.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
Me to go down. No, everything's great. I can't see outside,
but I'm sure it's sunny.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
It's all gray in here in the studio running That
does not help anybody. Why didn't they make these studios
of the walls blue or purple or red or right?
Speaker 2 (49:24):
What's a pleasant color? Because it could be anything but gray.
Speaker 1 (49:27):
You know what's funny is my favorite color has kind
of become brown. And it's funny because that's a neutral,
and that's like a kind of a sad color. Every
associate's brown with like mud or poop.
Speaker 2 (49:36):
No, I love brown. I was wearing all brown yesterday.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
I loved your brown out thick.
Speaker 3 (49:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
See, we did it.
Speaker 1 (49:42):

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
