Time to answer some listener questions and Amy is joining
me this weekend. Thanks Amy for being here.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Happy to be here.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
We're doing it kind of just on rogue. I'm literally
just going through these questions because I thought it'd be
more fun. Most of the time, I put them all
out and do the whole thing, but I feel like
I missed some. I come in super late, right at
the tail end of it, so we're just running with this.
Megan from Kentucky wants to know our food obsessions right now.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Oh gosh, I'm thinking I have a few, but uh, Kiwis.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You haven't posting a lot about about.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Kiwi's with the skin and toast with cream cheese.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Toast with great I had to think about that one
for a second. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah, And no, normally my daughter has just gotten into
cream cheese on her bagels, and so now we have
cream cheese in the house and I'm like, oh, I
want toasts with cream cheese and I sprinkle little sea
salt on top.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, so the toast thing obsession still stays. Oh yeah,
I've all.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yes, I've been obsessed with toast for years. It's just
the toast toppings that change, fair, but I will always
be a toast girl.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
You should try cottag cheese on toast.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Okay, I'll try that with.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Some honey, and you can do some little I do
sometimes honey and fake butter and pistachio's really yummy. I've
also done like tomatoes with balsamic vinegarette.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh, I bet I would like that. Okay, all the
good things.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I'll try it. I am Cottage sheees is kind of
my obsession. It's like the hot thing on social media
right now. But I've just been trying to get a
lot of protein in. So scrambled eggs with cottage cheese
in a little bit of honey is my like every
morning right now.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I love honey.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, do you like? But do you like cottage cheese?
It grosses some people out? No, I like it. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I love cotta cheese and grapes.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Okay, I need to try that because I love grapes.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, just put some cotta cheese in a bowl, cut
up grapes and toss it in and eat it like no,
okays like that. It's so good.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Look at we have more cottage cheese recipes for you guys.
That's where we go, all right, A decision that you
made that changed a lot in your life Jalen's girlfriend
from Fort Worth. I think she's coming in through his
account to write that question.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
There's a lot of decisions that I've made that changed
my entire life. I guess one that I'm thinking about
this morning driving in I was thinking about my boyfriend's
kids and just my relationship with them, and I think
choosing to go out on a date with him completely
change my life because I went out with him, not
(02:31):
to really date him, but to practice dating.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You were in that phase when you guys met, even
when you heard about him, you were in the practice stow.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, because I was like, I can't take this on,
Like he's a widower and these three kids, this is
a lot. He seems nice, though, so why not let
me I need to practice dating. So I'm going to go,
and I went, and now here we are all these
months later, and I mean, I can't I don't know
(03:00):
what's gonna happen with us, but it's weird. I can't
imagine not knowing what's going on with his kids, you know,
being a part of their life, and that that was
a part I was so scared of.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, you know, isn't that crazy. I'd always like, is
the thing that you're afraid of most? I feel like
mine really happened when I decided to graduate college early.
That was like not something I took lightly and something
I didn't really. I had all my credits stuff done
and I just was gonna, you know, stay and hang
(03:32):
out another year and just finish and have four years
like everybody does. And I decided not to, and then
my life is drastically changed because of it. I don't
think I would be in this job or where I'm
at in my life had I not just taken the
correct road that everybody else did. I took the road
that was so much different. And I had friends who
(03:52):
were seniors in college who were still partying and having fun,
and I was at home trying to get a job.
You know, it was not the thing that I And
for the first few months of it, I very much
was like, what have I done? Did I make the
right decision? And then you know, getting the job at
I heartback and watch shot and then just the trickle
of events that followed. It's crazy, like drastically think my
(04:15):
life would have turned out so different. Yeah, had I
not made that call, it's crazy, but you know, you
just I think I think a lot about when I
make decisions, is like, is this a decision that's going
to be one of those that I really need to
make correctly? Or is it just gonna be one that
doesn't matter? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Like what do I put on my toast this morning
versus yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Or like is it like, is putting something different on
to it's going to change my entire life in five seconds?
Well I haven't.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Why not unless it's some epic concoction that just blows
up on social media and then you get hired by
a taste creator.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Company and that could happen. Maybe it's because I'm getting older.
I don't know, but I feel like I think about
that a lot more now, just how my decisions are
going to affect later me mm hmm. And that feels weird. Okay,
what do you think happened to Amy Bradley Laura from Wisconsin?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I go back and forth. I'm starting to lean towards
we're not ruining anything if people haven't watched it, right,
because I don't want to get accused of spoiling anything.
But she is missing. I mean the show is called
or the Netflix doc, which this is the latest one.
There are other ones I want to watch that I've
heard about and their past interviews that I would like
(05:28):
to watch, and I've read some different thoughts on it.
And I thought she was trafficked and she's in the
Caribbean somewhere, which would be terrible. And now I'm wondering
if she went overboard. I'm learning to think the family
might be anything.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
But I'm more laughing at you because I wish I
could get into stuff like this, like even the body.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Have No have you you haven't watched Amy Bradley is missing.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
No, And I couldn't. I watched one out of Bodying
the Snow and I was like, I don't care. I
just stopped. I can't get into the murder mystery stuff,
not just murder, but like just any of the crime. Yeah,
I wish I could because everybody gets so invested in
it and I want to be a part of it.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Well, and I don't think you need to be. It's honestly,
sometimes I'm like, why am I so invested in this?
And I'm not even his sad as some people, but.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I know, but like, I don't know. I just feel
like I have fomo because all of you guys talk
about true crime stuff and then I just like it
goes over my head.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's okay, Like the amounts of times in the day
that I wonder about Amy Bradley and is too much.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
So all I can think of when you guys keep
saying Amy Bradley is Bradley from The Money Show, the
character Oh yeah, Raese's character, because that's the only other
Bradley that I have heard, or like Bradley Cooper. I
don't know. I just have weird associations when people say
different names. But those are what I keep thinking of,
and it's not the same at all. What bird will
(06:56):
you visit as your kids as after you pass Jessica?
An organ?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Oh? Well, can I be an owl?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I think you could be whatever you want to be.
I think that's your choice.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I think I'd like to be a barred owl. A
barred owl, Yeah, it's a specific kind. They're really cute
to me because isn't there also a barn owl?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So is that different? Than a barred owl.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I don't know. I mean, I don't know. If that's
just an owl that lives in a barn, I'm not
to google that. But a barred owl, they're more of
like the round face with the big round eyes, and
they're cute.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Some owls are more intimidating and scary looking. I feel
like barred owls are cute.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I feel like you should be a white owl, like
a snow owl. That would be a pretty one. Yeah,
like the one Harry Potter headwig no, yeah, headwig headwag.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Maybe I'll take I don't know, but I now you know,
would be uh or a cute little chickaye.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Chickeny or an owl. A very drastically different experiences. But
that's okay.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Oh, I guess. I was like, what about you, Morgan,
You're like Amy, I'm not obsessed with birds.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
No, But if I came back as an animal, I
think i'd want to come back as a sloth.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
We seem to have really good lives, yeah, or penguin.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, but you know, honestly, animals all have issues. And
that Wild Ones show that I told you guys all
to watch has now like I don't want to be
an animal. People are so mean to animals for no reason,
so now I don't want to rembacifine.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
People are also being too humans for no reason, so
all of it right.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
We got a comment of you both are beautiful and
amazing women who bring good vibe to the show and
deserve nothing but happiness. It's very sweet. Okay. We talked
about colleges. James from Virginia, not the same one same.
We have two James in Virginia's which feels crazy different
one and we talked about that in part one if
you want to go listen to. We had Jordan from Kyle, Texas,
(08:48):
who just wanted to say we are awesome and have
the new boyfriends met the show yet neither one of
ours have. You know, I'm gonna keep them away as
as possible, honestly, not necessarily from like Amy or Abby,
but the guys. Yeah. He has met Lunchbox in Scuba
at passing events, but I haven't like.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Specifically, Okay, so lunchboxs out to meet him.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, okay. The celebrity softball game, Oh nice, And it
was actually a fine interaction. I was a little concerned,
but I looked at my boyfriend said, you're going to
see Lunchbox and I say nothing, just talk nothing about us,
because I have.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
No idea as show prep. Yes, uh huh, you never know.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So I think that's why we'd never heard about it,
because my boyfriend was well trained.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, that moment I've thought about having my boyfriend, I
was like, you should just maybe one day. Just popping
in our studio now is really difficult because of our
new building. It's just not easy to get up here.
So it has crossed my mind if if it were easier,
or one day we just figure it out and he
just comes up and like can meet everybody and get
(09:52):
it over. Well, we just haven't had any outings or
events or anything that make sense. Yeah, I mean, I
don't know, between my kids and him always having his kids,
even finding Caitlin and I have talked about doing like
a double date night, or maybe we all could like
just doing a date night or something. It's hard to coordinate.
I don't feel like we barely go up on dates.
(10:14):
Everybody group date night.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I feel like absolutely not. You guys are on your
own and then it ended up being you and me,
and then that's fine. At least they're gonna meet probably
what Yeah, it happened. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back. Got another shout out from Rachel
and Illinois. She just loves how much we are both
radiating happiness. So happy for you both.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Oh thank you, Rachel.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Sighting Diana wants to know if she's from Texas. Are
you adjusting well on your new relationship? Yes. I think
for some people they still think of him as new
within this year. Yeah, they catch up on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Definitely new. It's weird to think that at this point
in my relationship with my with Ben my husband, first husband,
I don't have a second, but my ex husband, how
do you say it? My ex husband.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I've already noticed for you is that it's very difficult
to see how you identify him. It's changed very much
over the past.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Because I don't I don't know what the deal is
with ex husband, and maybe that's just something I need
to work through, but it is what it is. He's
my ex husband, and at this point in our relationship
we were already married and I'm still dating, like we're
not even just and I think that it's okay that
we're not. It's just been, and I moved very quickly,
(11:32):
and I think, yes, we're adjusting. There have We finally
got over a lot of the growing pains of figuring
out how to navigate his kids, my kids, his you know,
wife passing away. Like there was a lot of that
in the beginning. And I say the beginning, like the
first five months, like just different things would pop up,
like meeting her family or different events or what do
(11:53):
I do here?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Your daughter is this?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
And now we got over all those humps and we
took our first blended family vacation. Oh.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I got through the question how that vacation went from
a listener, I am tried for your other name. They
didn't ride it Mary. She would like to know how
that vacation went.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
It was. I exceeded all my expectations. I do think
that I tried not to have any though, because you
just you don't know, uh so. Uh. I did hope
for the best, though, and I wanted certain memories and
we got those. And I'm very very grateful that everybody
got along and it was fine. And I knew it
(12:32):
wasn't it wasn't going to be terrible, But I guess
you just don't know if there's going to be awkward. Yeah,
and it really wasn't. So that I was thankful for.
I mean, if I think you travel with anybody new,
you're like, Okay, let's see how this is going to go.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, very much so. And then I loved your carousel
posts of that experience that you guys had and what
it was like and your thoughts going in and thank
you being done after that was very real and just
life experience.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And yeah, we we both had a great time. I
think we were able to relax. I was more nervous
than he was, but I think going into it like
how's this going to be? And then probably the second day,
we took this boat out and we both were able
to fall asleep and our kids were just playing, and
I was like, okay, I think that.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I posted that picture of us napping on the boat
where we look legit both fell asleep and his son
I thought was so cute. His son took that picture, yes,
and he was like hey, Like later after we got
up and we were at the boat, he's like, hey,
I took some pictures on your phone. I think you're
gonna like them, wink wink. And I was like oh,
and he's thirteen, and so you're like, what kind of
pictures and so well, I just thought, oh, that's so cute.
(13:37):
And he's the one that's bonded to me. I think
we all get along obviously, but I think him being
the youngest and not having a mom, you know, the
last almost six years, like he's craving that mom. Like,
so he'll do kind of you have a special fue. Yes,
(13:57):
that's a little bit different, but I think that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, it's not that.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
You know, I don't know. I guess I feel bad
saying that about the other kids, but I think you
get the idea. It just is different. He's craving a
mom figure. And uh, I thought that was really precious.
So when I opened up the phone, I was like, oh,
this actually is a really precious picture. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
That's so cute. I love when the kids take cute pictures,
and I'm like, I.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Think you'll like this, And especially because he did that
all on his own, like we were asleep and he
grabbed my phone and just to the pictures.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
That's so cute. Sammy from Virginia said Spicy Amy has
been employee of the quarter Level Funny. Five out of
five roll tides?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Is spicy Amy or what do they call me? Pervy Amy?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah? I think both. I think it's a combination of
the two. What is the weirdest animal you would want
as a pet? Jessica from San Diego.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I got otter. Waters are cute, but I need two
so they can hold hands, not hold your hand. Well,
I like when they lay together in the water and
hold hands, so you just want to watch them land, Yeah,
and then sent out otters like take pebbles and keep.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Them they do. Yeah, I know that's also a penguin thing.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Okay, Well that's cute to me. So, and I'll probably
never have an otter. And there's lots of animals I'd
like to have, but that, I mean that came to
your mind first, Yep, everybody, I was sticking with my sloth.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I think I'd want to sloth, mostly because they just
hang on you and you just have this cute little
fuzzy thing that's climbing on you all the time, and
they just smile so slow and it brings me joy.
So I think I'm going with a sloth. But do
you want to be a sloth and you want a sloth? Yes?
All the things just you know, insert me in sloth family.
I will never have one, though I don't wow the animals.
(15:37):
I like to seem in the wild. That's my preference. Okay,
does the boyfriend stay over and vice versa? How are
you navigating that? And you can also play the fifth
if that's too No, I shan't tell in Oklahoma, No, we.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Don't have I mean no, he has his kids twenty
four to seven. I have mine every other week. But yeah,
doesn't that doesn't work for us.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And even on our vacation, they stayed in a hotel
on the way, and I got a condo for my kids.
His son ended up coming down and staying in our
condo with us because Stevenson's room had like twin beds
and so that was fun. But I mean it's like
we were all I mean, we we'd created space intentionally
because we didn't want we didn't know like how all
the kids everything was going to be.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So at least is there's gap.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
But then his daughter ended up coming down to Arcondo
and wanted to get ready with Sashare and her friend
that were on the trip, and the girls ended up
hanging out so we Yeah, so even in that so, no, does.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
That feel weird? Are you like, dang, I really want
to sometime now.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I mean, I think we understand our situation.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So it just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
And we've taken trips and we have to be intentional
about our time.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But I think it's just that's just is what it is. Yeah,
And obviously over the course of time that changes and
things get you know, if you guys ever choose to
remarry or life changes in that drastic different direction, I
think that also changes a lot of things.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
The younger son is always like, can you spend the night?
You can sleep in my room and I'll go sleep
with my dad. Are you going to stay the night?
Like stay the night, you can have my room. And
I'm like, well, I gotta go get that got the
dog And he's like, the dog and car can sleep
in my bed.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I'll get your dog.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
So that's cute. Yeah, some of his friends' parents that
are divorced and dating, like they have live in girlfriends
or you know, so he's seen that. So he's sort
of like, well, you know, his friends have that, but
we're just not. We're doing it differently.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It's it's also a slower burd right, like you're just
figuring out what that potentially could look like later. Yeah,
so as if right now hasn't just gotten to that point. Yeah, okay,
good question. How do you will end on this one?
How do you show so much confidence? Chef al and Tampa?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Well, we are exuding confidence because I don't know that
I have it totally.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Sometimes I have to.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Just have talks with myself. I think, you know this
airs different than the other part. But we talked about
dopamine dressing, so I think sometimes I use clothes to
feel more confident and then show confidence. And sometimes I,
you know, have talks with myself of like you can
do this, like you like you are capable, believe in yourself,
just like I would try to pump up my daughter
(18:21):
a pump up myself. And I think sometimes it may
come off that we're exuding more than we actually have.
I mean, we just any human. I think sometimes you think, like, aw,
is that person so confident? But there may be some
insecurities screaming in there that you have no idea about.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yes, I feel like that's also my life. I'm very
much a fake it till you make it person. When
it comes to my confidence. I just like, if I
fake it enough, I start to believe it, and then
I just kind of stay there instead of because if
I like do let all my insecurities out and stuff,
then that's just a scared little girl who's working through
a lot of stuff. So I really have to like
(19:01):
put my brave face on and say, hey, we're gonna
fake this and you're gonna start to feel good as
soon as you, you know, faked it enough that you'll
start to finally believe this is real and you can
do this.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I think it's also too surrounding yourself with people that
are encouraging and lift.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
You up instead of taking you down. Right, Yeah, very much.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I think Amy and I have both cultivated really great
communities around us to really help us believe in ourselves
and support us. We've done really good about that, so
I think a lot of that comes from there too.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I think so too. In fact, I would probably I
know I mentioned dopamine dressing is first, but I think
it's your community, yeah verse two, or your people. It
doesn't even have to be multiple people. Could be one
person that that's who you rely on for, like, hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Check you're good. Yeah. Literally, my boyfriend every time before like,
he'll whenever he's in my house in the morning before work,
he'll be like, you're capable of amazing things and I
can't wait to see what you do today every single day,
every single day.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
And I'm like I needed that. Some days I'm like, yeah,
I am, and other days I'm like, yeah, I don't
feel that, but thank you. I needed that.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
But he's a really good cheerleader. Yes, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It's a good like we're good at giving each other
the really co word affirmation.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
We're doing it kind of just on rogue. I'm literally
just going through these questions because I thought it'd be
more fun. Most of the time, I put them all
out and do the whole thing, but I feel like
I missed some. I come in super late, right at
the tail end of it, so we're just running with this.
Megan from Kentucky wants to know our food obsessions right now.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Oh gosh, I'm thinking I have a few, but uh, Kiwis.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You haven't posting a lot about about.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Kiwi's with the skin and toast with cream cheese.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Toast with great I had to think about that one
for a second. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah, And no, normally my daughter has just gotten into
cream cheese on her bagels, and so now we have
cream cheese in the house and I'm like, oh, I
want toasts with cream cheese and I sprinkle little sea
salt on top.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, so the toast thing obsession still stays. Oh yeah,
I've all.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yes, I've been obsessed with toast for years. It's just
the toast toppings that change, fair, but I will always
be a toast girl.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
You should try cottag cheese on toast.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Okay, I'll try that with.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Some honey, and you can do some little I do
sometimes honey and fake butter and pistachio's really yummy. I've
also done like tomatoes with balsamic vinegarette.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Oh, I bet I would like that. Okay, all the
good things.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I'll try it. I am Cottage sheees is kind of
my obsession. It's like the hot thing on social media
right now. But I've just been trying to get a
lot of protein in. So scrambled eggs with cottage cheese
in a little bit of honey is my like every
morning right now.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I love honey.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, do you like? But do you like cottage cheese?
It grosses some people out? No, I like it. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
I love cotta cheese and grapes.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Okay, I need to try that because I love grapes.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, just put some cotta cheese in a bowl, cut
up grapes and toss it in and eat it like no,
okays like that. It's so good.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Look at we have more cottage cheese recipes for you guys.
That's where we go, all right, A decision that you
made that changed a lot in your life Jalen's girlfriend
from Fort Worth. I think she's coming in through his
account to write that question.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
There's a lot of decisions that I've made that changed
my entire life. I guess one that I'm thinking about
this morning driving in I was thinking about my boyfriend's
kids and just my relationship with them, and I think
choosing to go out on a date with him completely
change my life because I went out with him, not
(02:31):
to really date him, but to practice dating.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
You were in that phase when you guys met, even
when you heard about him, you were in the practice stow.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yeah, because I was like, I can't take this on,
Like he's a widower and these three kids, this is
a lot. He seems nice, though, so why not let
me I need to practice dating. So I'm going to go,
and I went, and now here we are all these
months later, and I mean, I can't I don't know
(03:00):
what's gonna happen with us, but it's weird. I can't
imagine not knowing what's going on with his kids, you know,
being a part of their life, and that that was
a part I was so scared of.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, you know, isn't that crazy. I'd always like, is
the thing that you're afraid of most? I feel like
mine really happened when I decided to graduate college early.
That was like not something I took lightly and something
I didn't really. I had all my credits stuff done
and I just was gonna, you know, stay and hang
(03:32):
out another year and just finish and have four years
like everybody does. And I decided not to, and then
my life is drastically changed because of it. I don't
think I would be in this job or where I'm
at in my life had I not just taken the
correct road that everybody else did. I took the road
that was so much different. And I had friends who
(03:52):
were seniors in college who were still partying and having fun,
and I was at home trying to get a job.
You know, it was not the thing that I And
for the first few months of it, I very much
was like, what have I done? Did I make the
right decision? And then you know, getting the job at
I heartback and watch shot and then just the trickle
of events that followed. It's crazy, like drastically think my
(04:15):
life would have turned out so different. Yeah, had I
not made that call, it's crazy, but you know, you
just I think I think a lot about when I
make decisions, is like, is this a decision that's going
to be one of those that I really need to
make correctly? Or is it just gonna be one that
doesn't matter? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Like what do I put on my toast this morning
versus yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Or like is it like, is putting something different on
to it's going to change my entire life in five seconds?
Well I haven't.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Why not unless it's some epic concoction that just blows
up on social media and then you get hired by
a taste creator.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Company and that could happen. Maybe it's because I'm getting older.
I don't know, but I feel like I think about
that a lot more now, just how my decisions are
going to affect later me mm hmm. And that feels weird. Okay,
what do you think happened to Amy Bradley Laura from Wisconsin?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I go back and forth. I'm starting to lean towards
we're not ruining anything if people haven't watched it, right,
because I don't want to get accused of spoiling anything.
But she is missing. I mean the show is called
or the Netflix doc, which this is the latest one.
There are other ones I want to watch that I've
heard about and their past interviews that I would like
(05:28):
to watch, and I've read some different thoughts on it.
And I thought she was trafficked and she's in the
Caribbean somewhere, which would be terrible. And now I'm wondering
if she went overboard. I'm learning to think the family
might be anything.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
But I'm more laughing at you because I wish I
could get into stuff like this, like even the body.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Have No have you you haven't watched Amy Bradley is missing.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
No, And I couldn't. I watched one out of Bodying
the Snow and I was like, I don't care. I
just stopped. I can't get into the murder mystery stuff,
not just murder, but like just any of the crime. Yeah,
I wish I could because everybody gets so invested in
it and I want to be a part of it.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Well, and I don't think you need to be. It's honestly,
sometimes I'm like, why am I so invested in this?
And I'm not even his sad as some people, but.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I know, but like, I don't know. I just feel
like I have fomo because all of you guys talk
about true crime stuff and then I just like it
goes over my head.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
It's okay, Like the amounts of times in the day
that I wonder about Amy Bradley and is too much.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
So all I can think of when you guys keep
saying Amy Bradley is Bradley from The Money Show, the
character Oh yeah, Raese's character, because that's the only other
Bradley that I have heard, or like Bradley Cooper. I
don't know. I just have weird associations when people say
different names. But those are what I keep thinking of,
and it's not the same at all. What bird will
(06:56):
you visit as your kids as after you pass Jessica?
An organ?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Oh? Well, can I be an owl?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I think you could be whatever you want to be.
I think that's your choice.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I think I'd like to be a barred owl. A
barred owl, Yeah, it's a specific kind. They're really cute
to me because isn't there also a barn owl?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So is that different? Than a barred owl.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I don't know. I mean, I don't know. If that's
just an owl that lives in a barn, I'm not
to google that. But a barred owl, they're more of
like the round face with the big round eyes, and
they're cute.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Some owls are more intimidating and scary looking. I feel
like barred owls are cute.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I feel like you should be a white owl, like
a snow owl. That would be a pretty one. Yeah,
like the one Harry Potter headwig no, yeah, headwig headwag.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Maybe I'll take I don't know, but I now you know,
would be uh or a cute little chickaye.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Chickeny or an owl. A very drastically different experiences. But
that's okay.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Oh, I guess. I was like, what about you, Morgan,
You're like Amy, I'm not obsessed with birds.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
No, But if I came back as an animal, I
think i'd want to come back as a sloth.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
We seem to have really good lives, yeah, or penguin.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, but you know, honestly, animals all have issues. And
that Wild Ones show that I told you guys all
to watch has now like I don't want to be
an animal. People are so mean to animals for no reason,
so now I don't want to rembacifine.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
People are also being too humans for no reason, so
all of it right.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
We got a comment of you both are beautiful and
amazing women who bring good vibe to the show and
deserve nothing but happiness. It's very sweet. Okay. We talked
about colleges. James from Virginia, not the same one same.
We have two James in Virginia's which feels crazy different
one and we talked about that in part one if
you want to go listen to. We had Jordan from Kyle, Texas,
(08:48):
who just wanted to say we are awesome and have
the new boyfriends met the show yet neither one of
ours have. You know, I'm gonna keep them away as
as possible, honestly, not necessarily from like Amy or Abby,
but the guys. Yeah. He has met Lunchbox in Scuba
at passing events, but I haven't like.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Specifically, Okay, so lunchboxs out to meet him.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, okay. The celebrity softball game, Oh nice, And it
was actually a fine interaction. I was a little concerned,
but I looked at my boyfriend said, you're going to
see Lunchbox and I say nothing, just talk nothing about us,
because I have.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
No idea as show prep. Yes, uh huh, you never know.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
So I think that's why we'd never heard about it,
because my boyfriend was well trained.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, that moment I've thought about having my boyfriend, I
was like, you should just maybe one day. Just popping
in our studio now is really difficult because of our
new building. It's just not easy to get up here.
So it has crossed my mind if if it were easier,
or one day we just figure it out and he
just comes up and like can meet everybody and get
(09:52):
it over. Well, we just haven't had any outings or
events or anything that make sense. Yeah, I mean, I
don't know, between my kids and him always having his kids,
even finding Caitlin and I have talked about doing like
a double date night, or maybe we all could like
just doing a date night or something. It's hard to coordinate.
I don't feel like we barely go up on dates.
(10:14):
Everybody group date night.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I feel like absolutely not. You guys are on your
own and then it ended up being you and me,
and then that's fine. At least they're gonna meet probably
what Yeah, it happened. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back. Got another shout out from Rachel
and Illinois. She just loves how much we are both
radiating happiness. So happy for you both.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Oh thank you, Rachel.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Sighting Diana wants to know if she's from Texas. Are
you adjusting well on your new relationship? Yes. I think
for some people they still think of him as new
within this year. Yeah, they catch up on the podcast.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Definitely new. It's weird to think that at this point
in my relationship with my with Ben my husband, first husband,
I don't have a second, but my ex husband, how
do you say it? My ex husband.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I've already noticed for you is that it's very difficult
to see how you identify him. It's changed very much
over the past.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Because I don't I don't know what the deal is
with ex husband, and maybe that's just something I need
to work through, but it is what it is. He's
my ex husband, and at this point in our relationship
we were already married and I'm still dating, like we're
not even just and I think that it's okay that
we're not. It's just been, and I moved very quickly,
(11:32):
and I think, yes, we're adjusting. There have We finally
got over a lot of the growing pains of figuring
out how to navigate his kids, my kids, his you know,
wife passing away. Like there was a lot of that
in the beginning. And I say the beginning, like the
first five months, like just different things would pop up,
like meeting her family or different events or what do
(11:53):
I do here?
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Your daughter is this?
Speaker 3 (11:56):
And now we got over all those humps and we
took our first blended family vacation. Oh.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I got through the question how that vacation went from
a listener, I am tried for your other name. They
didn't ride it Mary. She would like to know how
that vacation went.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
It was. I exceeded all my expectations. I do think
that I tried not to have any though, because you
just you don't know, uh so. Uh. I did hope
for the best, though, and I wanted certain memories and
we got those. And I'm very very grateful that everybody
got along and it was fine. And I knew it
(12:32):
wasn't it wasn't going to be terrible, But I guess
you just don't know if there's going to be awkward. Yeah,
and it really wasn't. So that I was thankful for.
I mean, if I think you travel with anybody new,
you're like, Okay, let's see how this is going to go.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, very much so. And then I loved your carousel
posts of that experience that you guys had and what
it was like and your thoughts going in and thank
you being done after that was very real and just
life experience.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
And yeah, we we both had a great time. I
think we were able to relax. I was more nervous
than he was, but I think going into it like
how's this going to be? And then probably the second day,
we took this boat out and we both were able
to fall asleep and our kids were just playing, and
I was like, okay, I think that.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I posted that picture of us napping on the boat
where we look legit both fell asleep and his son
I thought was so cute. His son took that picture, yes,
and he was like hey, Like later after we got
up and we were at the boat, he's like, hey,
I took some pictures on your phone. I think you're
gonna like them, wink wink. And I was like oh,
and he's thirteen, and so you're like, what kind of
pictures and so well, I just thought, oh, that's so cute.
(13:37):
And he's the one that's bonded to me. I think
we all get along obviously, but I think him being
the youngest and not having a mom, you know, the
last almost six years, like he's craving that mom. Like,
so he'll do kind of you have a special fue. Yes,
(13:57):
that's a little bit different, but I think that makes sense.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, it's not that.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
You know, I don't know. I guess I feel bad
saying that about the other kids, but I think you
get the idea. It just is different. He's craving a
mom figure. And uh, I thought that was really precious.
So when I opened up the phone, I was like, oh,
this actually is a really precious picture. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
That's so cute. I love when the kids take cute pictures,
and I'm like, I.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Think you'll like this, And especially because he did that
all on his own, like we were asleep and he
grabbed my phone and just to the pictures.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
That's so cute. Sammy from Virginia said Spicy Amy has
been employee of the quarter Level Funny. Five out of
five roll tides?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Is spicy Amy or what do they call me? Pervy Amy?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah? I think both. I think it's a combination of
the two. What is the weirdest animal you would want
as a pet? Jessica from San Diego.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I got otter. Waters are cute, but I need two
so they can hold hands, not hold your hand. Well,
I like when they lay together in the water and
hold hands, so you just want to watch them land, Yeah,
and then sent out otters like take pebbles and keep.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Them they do. Yeah, I know that's also a penguin thing.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Okay, Well that's cute to me. So, and I'll probably
never have an otter. And there's lots of animals I'd
like to have, but that, I mean that came to
your mind first, Yep, everybody, I was sticking with my sloth.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I think I'd want to sloth, mostly because they just
hang on you and you just have this cute little
fuzzy thing that's climbing on you all the time, and
they just smile so slow and it brings me joy.
So I think I'm going with a sloth. But do
you want to be a sloth and you want a sloth? Yes?
All the things just you know, insert me in sloth family.
I will never have one, though I don't wow the animals.
(15:37):
I like to seem in the wild. That's my preference. Okay,
does the boyfriend stay over and vice versa? How are
you navigating that? And you can also play the fifth
if that's too No, I shan't tell in Oklahoma, No, we.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Don't have I mean no, he has his kids twenty
four to seven. I have mine every other week. But yeah,
doesn't that doesn't work for us.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And even on our vacation, they stayed in a hotel
on the way, and I got a condo for my kids.
His son ended up coming down and staying in our
condo with us because Stevenson's room had like twin beds
and so that was fun. But I mean it's like
we were all I mean, we we'd created space intentionally
because we didn't want we didn't know like how all
the kids everything was going to be.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So at least is there's gap.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
But then his daughter ended up coming down to Arcondo
and wanted to get ready with Sashare and her friend
that were on the trip, and the girls ended up
hanging out so we Yeah, so even in that so, no, does.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
That feel weird? Are you like, dang, I really want
to sometime now.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I mean, I think we understand our situation.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So it just is what it is.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
And we've taken trips and we have to be intentional
about our time.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
But I think it's just that's just is what it is. Yeah,
And obviously over the course of time that changes and
things get you know, if you guys ever choose to
remarry or life changes in that drastic different direction, I
think that also changes a lot of things.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
The younger son is always like, can you spend the night?
You can sleep in my room and I'll go sleep
with my dad. Are you going to stay the night?
Like stay the night, you can have my room. And
I'm like, well, I gotta go get that got the
dog And he's like, the dog and car can sleep
in my bed.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I'll get your dog.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
So that's cute. Yeah, some of his friends' parents that
are divorced and dating, like they have live in girlfriends
or you know, so he's seen that. So he's sort
of like, well, you know, his friends have that, but
we're just not. We're doing it differently.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
It's it's also a slower burd right, like you're just
figuring out what that potentially could look like later. Yeah,
so as if right now hasn't just gotten to that point. Yeah, okay,
good question. How do you will end on this one?
How do you show so much confidence? Chef al and Tampa?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Well, we are exuding confidence because I don't know that
I have it totally.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Sometimes I have to.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Just have talks with myself. I think, you know this
airs different than the other part. But we talked about
dopamine dressing, so I think sometimes I use clothes to
feel more confident and then show confidence. And sometimes I,
you know, have talks with myself of like you can
do this, like you like you are capable, believe in yourself,
just like I would try to pump up my daughter
(18:21):
a pump up myself. And I think sometimes it may
come off that we're exuding more than we actually have.
I mean, we just any human. I think sometimes you think, like, aw,
is that person so confident? But there may be some
insecurities screaming in there that you have no idea about.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yes, I feel like that's also my life. I'm very
much a fake it till you make it person. When
it comes to my confidence. I just like, if I
fake it enough, I start to believe it, and then
I just kind of stay there instead of because if
I like do let all my insecurities out and stuff,
then that's just a scared little girl who's working through
a lot of stuff. So I really have to like
(19:01):
put my brave face on and say, hey, we're gonna
fake this and you're gonna start to feel good as
soon as you, you know, faked it enough that you'll
start to finally believe this is real and you can
do this.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
I think it's also too surrounding yourself with people that
are encouraging and lift.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
You up instead of taking you down. Right, Yeah, very much.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I think Amy and I have both cultivated really great
communities around us to really help us believe in ourselves
and support us. We've done really good about that, so
I think a lot of that comes from there too.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I think so too. In fact, I would probably I
know I mentioned dopamine dressing is first, but I think
it's your community, yeah verse two, or your people. It
doesn't even have to be multiple people. Could be one
person that that's who you rely on for, like, hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Check you're good. Yeah. Literally, my boyfriend every time before like,
he'll whenever he's in my house in the morning before work,
he'll be like, you're capable of amazing things and I
can't wait to see what you do today every single day,
every single day.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
And I'm like I needed that. Some days I'm like, yeah,
I am, and other days I'm like, yeah, I don't
feel that, but thank you. I needed that.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
But he's a really good cheerleader. Yes, yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It's a good like we're good at giving each other
the really co word affirmation.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, I was all there. All right, we're jumping out
of here. Any thanks for being here.
