Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello. Okay, this looks weird. Okay, welcome to that. I'm
still fun podcasts with Jenny. Hello, Jenny, how are my levels?
I don't know. It can turn you, just to be safe. Hello, Hello, Hey,
and I'll turn me h, Jenny? Do you talk abous
so much? Did I talk about this on the podcast?
How much my voice has changed?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I feel like I heard something of yours last week
and I don't know if we were looking back at
an old video. Oh no, this is what happened. We
were clearing out the system called voxcro whatever. If you listen,
you might not know what that is.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
And it's a recording device you record like for the
morning show. You'd record like the Minnesota Goodbye into it
blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
But randomly a commercial from like twenty sixteen of yours
started playing, and Bailey pointed out, like, oh my gosh,
she sounds so different.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It is so creepy. I did not know my voice
had changed so much, but I think I did talk
about this over our trips Door County. My friend Heidi
took all of our like college videos. I know I
talked about this, but my voice was so much higher
pitched than southern. Well, the only reason I'm bringing up
is because yesterday I was like uploading a video onto
YouTube and in the video, like I have private videos
(01:11):
that people can't see, and it was my audition video
I sent in for this show, and I mean, I
have my hair is black, my bangs are so blunt,
I have so much black eyeliner on, and I like
clicked on it because all of it was like she
was sitting with me and she wanted to see it.
And my voice, it's it was lower at that point,
but it was still so southern. Yeah. And I don't
(01:34):
know if I've just actively worked really hard to not
sound as southern through my radio career or what, but
it is eerie to hear how I sounded, and I
have I didn't think my voice had changed it all
because I don't think I've been like consciously doing things
to change it. It's weird. But I did see like
some super old stuff because I was clearing out stuff
(01:55):
in Box Pro two to make room, and I was like,
what the hell, why do we have audio saved from
like like twenty sixteen or whatever. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah, I don't know either, but we often all of
a sudden We'll be recording something and halfway through it'll
be like out of storage, and then it won't. I
recur it and it's like, oh my god, no, And
so I always clean it out when i'm in there.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Also, I didn't take a screenshot of it, but I
should have. But your sister shared just a fantastic photo
of you this weekend of me. Oh, it was for
like your cousin, you know what.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
The first thing was that I thought of too, was like,
I know that you follow her, and I was like, I,
with you any money, she's going to like bring up
this picture or do something with it.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
It was so perfect. Jenny is in the front. It's
like all of her cousins, her sisters. Jenny is front
and center. Yep, just looking like every how old were
you there for? Twelve? Yeah, twelve, like every twelve year
old girl that ever existed. But also it was Jenny
has the blondest hair ever. So it was before you
did your eyebrows, so you're you have like the white
(02:59):
eyebrows on top of it, super pale. It's it was
you to a t obviously, but it was it was
also bizarre looking at your cousins and seeing how much
they have like similar genetics to you your sisters as well. Yeah,
it's interesting. I was like, I was like, the one
cousin has a like there. I don't know what it is,
but some face similarities to you.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I wonder which one you're talking about, because the three
cousins that were in the back, they're actually only half
siblings with my mom. Really okay, I mean their dad
is half siblings with my mom. Sorry, so like obviously
we're still like genetically.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I thought the genetics were shining through, but it is bizarre. Also,
just in general genetics. Can we just talk about genetics
and how freaking weird they are?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, like how some people look so much like their
family and others like don't look yeah, all like them.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
We went at a birthday party yesterday for all of
you know friend it's all and so every parent there
and you just look at the parent next to the
kid and it is eerie how much they look like
And I was like to me, I can be like,
oh that they look just like their mom or they
look just like their dad, and most parents will be like,
oh really you think they look like me, and they
like seem surprised by that. But it seems so obvious
from the outside, and I'm like, I wonder what they think,
(04:06):
if they even think about it, like I do when
they look at me and Jake and Alive, Like, I
wonder if there's like one clear person they think she
looks like, because I get the mix, like people will
comment on social Oh, she looks just like you, But
then people are like, oh, I see her dad, you.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Know, so I feel like she is a mixture of
both of you. I think she's a decent mix for sure.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
People say that my sisters and I look alike sometimes,
but most people say we don't.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
You don't. I don't think you look at your older
sister at all. I think you have similarities to your
younger sister. Your older sister looks like your mom, Yes,
she does. Like as she's been getting older, she looks
so much more like my mom. And I have only
sneered out a handful of times, so I don't know.
I'd have to look really look closely at a picture
to see if I feel like you look more like
him or your mom.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I don't really know. I feel like I don't look
like either of my parents. I yeah, I feel like
I was an alien baby, and I just came into
the front porch one day and they're like, all right,
we'll take her.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Jenny, you were born in the toilet. Everyone knows it
well that I'm like, you were dropped off on the porch. Okay,
you were born in a toilet like me, Like my
sister told me, I was, so, how is your week
How is your weekend? Good? Good? Good?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Had a wedding, super fun. We got to bounce on
this bounce pad thing, and I peed myself a few
times because like I can't jump on trampolines or bounce
pads without pain.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
What the hell you haven't had a baby.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
That's not really a rule, but I know it's just
something like with my pelvic floor, and so I just
like it's only when I like really get jumping high,
it's just everything loosens up and all of a sudden,
it's like I'm coming down.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Pee gets pushed out. I don't really know. But that
was not the color dress to be having pee either,
because it was like.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
A light blow sad it was and it was like
it wasn't that hot out, but it was hot in
the sense that like we didn't have any escape to
air conditioning because it was on an apple orchard, so
it was like a big ten for the reception and stuff.
And so like anytime we did kind of a little
bit of activity, i'd need to take a break because
I'd be sweating and you could see my under boob
sweat like piercing through that satin weird material. But when
(06:07):
we were bouncing, and I can't honestly, I probably said
it too much. I probably wasn'nnoying about it, but I
was like, honestly, I got to go to the bathroom. Guys,
I just peed myself. And my friend's husband was like, okay, Jenny,
And I know that he's like one of those guys
who just like can't handle things like that, and I'm like,
shut up. But I probably could have been a little
bit more lady like about those things, but I couldn't
help it. And then I had enter taking a video
(06:27):
of me at one point, and I didn't have my
straps tight enough, so the chest area was a little
bit loose, but it wasn't really like cleavage loose. It
was just like loose where it could kind of flop
open a little bit. Yeah, So I started jumping and
she was like Jesus, this is like an X rated
bounce pad right now. He's like, you better hope none
of these kids come over here. So he's like taking
videos and in this video, like yeah, I could definitely
(06:48):
feel like my boob was popping out, And I was
sad because I thought I looked cuter in that video
than the one I posted on my Instagram, but I
couldn't because it was like almost too a little too
much of the boobs.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Flopping up and down. So I it's funny those blobs.
I don't feel that they were around when we were kids,
and they're freaking everywhere I know, any indoor playground for kids,
any lay outdoor like kind of seevers place Olive is
all about it, and I'm like that would have been
there even at Like when we did the one RV
weekend last year over the summer, the RV place had
(07:20):
one like this really is the hot ticket item for kids.
It must be like a cheap thing to like keep
a lot of people entertained. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I mean, we were all entertained, but we also were
sweating so quickly. Like we didn't spend a ton of
time on it because it was too much.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
I wonder if the couple even thought people would actually
use it that were adult.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
She she specifically, my friend Katia specifically said, I really
hope people use this because she told us about what
the apple orchard had had to offer and stuff like
things we can do because we were available to pick
apples if we wanted to pay like a buck for
a bag or something like that, and you could go
feed the goats or do whatever. So like you had
access to all that and she was hoping that we
(07:57):
would be able to do and it would have been
fun to like jump with her on it, but I
don't know that she ever got on it because she
probably didn't want to ruin her dress or probably not.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, that's a fun idea of like for a location
for a wedding. Though we're the extra things for people
to check out and do.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
It was super fun. I mean they did like everything themselves,
Like she got all the glass, where the plates, the
silver where they catered in food from like street Tacos
from Minneapolis, and then they bought all kinds of snacks
from Costco. So it was very like a lot of
Vinnie wouldn't let you do that though, Yeah, I know
I know, and I thought of you because like, because
(08:33):
of those big things of Costco whatever, I did steal
those like cheese cuffs in York, and I was like,
and whatever. I wasn't drinking really, I think I had
one glass of wine at this wedding, and but I
did think I was like, oh drunk, Jenny would have gone.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Hand that's what you're gonna say.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I think I didn't still take a handful of Welch's
fruit snacks, yeah, because those were easy to just shove
in my purse obviously, and I both took like a
handful and he took a cup full of like and
I'm like goldfish and animal crackers. On the way out,
I mean I was like forty five minutes away. So
we had a Yeah, we had a little bit of
a drive, but yeah, how was your weekend?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Great? We went to the Green Day concert, which I
was talking to Jake and I was like, it was
really fun because that was Jake's So I was talking
to Tina actually and I was like, Dookie is such
a It's a top five album for me. I think
like over COVID, we there was like a trend going
around where you pick like your four top albums, and
(09:28):
that's one of my I think I put it in
my top four. And to see them perform it top
to bottom, like and they sound like they look Billy
Joe like, he looks pretty much the same. The other
two look older, but to see them do that and
he has so much energy, I was like, it was
such a cool bucket list weird, like flashback to me
(09:51):
being like in middle school or elementary whenever. I was
into it moment. And Tina was like, because I went
out with her yesterday out and she was like that
how American Idiot was for me? And as a well,
that makes sense because they came out exactly ten years
apart and Tina, it makes sense that Tina would have
been into something ten years younger, right, And I was like,
funny enough, I worked in radio already when American Idiot
(10:12):
came out, So I think that that's why I didn't
love American Idiot as much, because I was playing Wake
Me Up when September End four million effing times a day,
like I liked Holiday a lot on that album. But
that's also makes sense because that kind of sounds like
it would have fit onto a Dukie album. But they
they were so fun. I don't know. It was a
crazy weekend on the Twin Cities to have like Metallica
(10:33):
Ellen Oprah uh like it was crazy Creed, I don't know.
It was like what a fun like and it was
a beautiful weekend. But we went to a new restaurant.
Its opening is called Dexter's. It's like an elevated sports bar.
It's this guy. It's the Daniel del Prado kind of ownership,
so it's like they have all those like Martina Khalita
kind of places, and it was really it was good.
It was like I would one thousand percent go back
(10:55):
to get some of the same things and try new things.
And it was a soft opening. So when they a
soft opening and they'll invite people, you get to order
as much food as you want for free. You have
to pay for the alcohol. But I was like, and
they kept coming over being like, get more food, get
more like, try more things, and I was like, absolutely not.
I am not going to feel like shit at this
(11:15):
Green Day concert, like, and Jake kept being like a
cart like all the foods and I was like, Jake,
get what you want, but think about it, you're going
to be miserable and he was like, you're right, so
I mean it was I don't know, it was a
fun I had like more cocktails than I normally would
on a weekend. Doesn't get drunk or tipsy, just to life.
Because we went to Rosalia yesterday, me and Tina and
(11:37):
Lauren and I cause I wanted to try like a Sprits.
I didn't even get a Sprits, but I got in
a freaking amazing cocktail there. So all I can say
is beautiful summer weekend to cap off my summer before
the State Fair hits this week. Yeah, it's wild.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
I'm yeah, I feel like I'm actually a little more
excited than I was anticipating being, just because I have
a crazy like next couple of weeks ahead of me,
including the State Fair. But I'm really looking forward to it,
except for the fact that, of course when we're out
there for the first time, it's supposed to be like
almost ninety Oh.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
God, I haven't looked at the weather for it is there.
I'm pulling it up right now, any like rain predicted
because I figured so far and not in the next
like week, I'll say it. Oh yeah, well, actually Saturday
looks better than Sunday at least, I know at last
Monday shows ninety two. Oh god, but then it looks
like it goes back down. But you know that'll change
(12:32):
before it comes. Yeah, I was, I'm I think it'll
go by really fast. Yeah, I think. I'm like you
just you know how you build stuff up in your
head and then it comes and you're like, that wasn't
that bad? Like why did I build that up in
my head so much? I could? I've just been talking about,
like I think we talked about a little bit on
the show last or the podcast last week. It's like,
(12:54):
how do you make it special? It was easier to
come up with things to make it special when you're
out there once for the morning show, but we're there
every day, so I'm like, we're not any Like I
said before, you have to cater to the majority of
the audience listening at home, so I don't think we're
gonna be doing a ton. But the most bizarre thing
is you can't take any calls while you're out there,
so usually we only do like one kind of like
(13:18):
phone or interactive bit. But also we have like tickets
to give away, so I'm like, I guess we'll have
to do those through text. It's all like the weird
logistics that we're thinking through now. I'm like, are the
shirts even finalized? The last week? People are like, when
are you gonna premiere the shirts? Because we always get
like excited in premiere the shirts. I'm like, it's it's
(13:38):
public knowledge now because Colt and I at least talked
about it. But our promotion destructor. Ted was let go
like a week and a half ago, and it was
devastating and heartbreaking because we love Ted as our friend
and it was another like company wide layoffs. They let
three people go here in our local offices, but Ted
was in charge of designing it. So then it gets
thrown on the plates of other people who already are
(13:59):
design i mean other T shirts for others, and I'll
be honest, they're kind of like, I just want to
get this over with. This is not what I don't want.
They're getting extra work without extra pay, and you know
how that goes. It's probably similar to your job, but
that is kind of where things are. So we're a
little behind and but it should be fun. I've been
(14:20):
getting messages about the Jason Show where they're like, you know, like,
can you are you fine staying after on the first
day and go filming a segment And I'm like, yes,
but that first day is going to be exhausting because
I have to go. I told Jason. I was like,
I was only gonna do the first hour. I'm like,
I'm already gonna be there. I'll just do both hours. Yeah.
(14:41):
But then they're like, after that, can you go film
some stuff for a different day, And I was like, yes,
but then I'll have to go do the radio show.
So but you know it's two days where it's super
long days.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, but I mean, so that's the no which day
are you doing Jason Show again?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
The first day in the last Friday, so Thursday, and
then the follow up Friday, you're definitely going to t
Paint and Luda.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I have to like figure out what's going on now
because oh, because now that we just talked about Ted,
I had asked for tickets for promotions, and Ted was
the one who said, yeah, of course I'll get you some.
But now I like need to see who else is
in charge of that. Pat Okay, he'll give you tickets. Okay,
I figured that, but yes, I should be.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
There when he was like he was like trying to
figure out because Pat he does the country station. He
doesn't even know what's popular. Oh I know, trust me.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
He was telling me he's like hose Hoser yes, and
I was like, yeah, Hosier and yeah he only listens
to country.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yes he does. But he was like, Okay, I'm gonna
give you guys this one and look the Morrity show
list or whatever. I said, cool, and I didn't realize
it was like we have five four three two one
for these shows. I'm like, wait, we have brought road
tickets for the tea paying Ludacris concert. That's badass. Not
that like we can have those, but whatever, no complaints
even if you got regular ones. But I'm really chatty today.
(15:55):
If you notice that, I won't shut the fuck up,
I'm sorry, No, it's listen.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
You're fine because I have been running on like two
hours of sleep and I just did the morning show,
so you're like just coming in for the day, whereas
I've already been talking. So and I was like probably
really chatty on the morning show, more so than I
normally would be on a Monday.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
So I'm cool. You take the mic, baby, I'm I'm
gonna take a snooze. Actually, yeah, I had a fit
fluencer day. I went and did pilates and then I
just went on a long walk with uh Giselle. She's
a friend of ours. Yeah, I don't actually are you
friends with her or just nowhere through social.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Just I mean I've been at events with her and
then I did buy a big mirror from her when
she moved to New York.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I think, okay, funny, funny yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
So yeah, and so mostly just like a social media
friendship the most part. But yeah, no, I don't know
her like super well. So another thing I which I
think would fit onto this. I posted this and I'm
sure you saw it because I think you still follow
me on Instagram, right, Jenny, Yeah, I want to do
like women's kind of series.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Yeah, I saw you posting about that, and I'm like
very invested. Okay, you should be a part of it
for sure. But I was like, like host it here,
have like experts come in that talk about important things
for women, and I asked for suggestions. My top two
things that came to my mind were discussing perimenopause and menopause.
(17:17):
But I think along with that would tie in hormones
in general, and I don't know if I would tie
in like pelvic floor into that, but like you mentioning it,
it's like that was someone someone else had messaged it.
It's too It's like all these things as our bodies
were getting older, and no one has information on it.
I feel like, so I thought about that, and then
(17:39):
the other one that I had posted was, uh, someone
in finance who isn't boring that can explain, Like I
just h maybe these answer questions honestly, like I don't
necessarily want it to be something where like a lot
of the panels, you have a moderator like me, and
I am the part I ask all these quot questions
(18:00):
and the audience just listens and watches, and then at
the end you give them a couple of questions. But
I would almost rather be like, I will fill in
the space if people don't have questions, but I would
rather the audience get to ask the questions. Yes, so
maybe it starts with like the professional explaining a few
things like where they would start, maybe giving like three
(18:21):
or four scenarios, because I think I talk about this
a lot. I follow this instagram called l vest E
l e and I think it's veest and it's like
constantly promoting women investing, invest, invest, invest, so you can
set yourself up. And it's like women are newer to
it than men are, but we shouldn't be like so
far behind them financially in investments and things. But investing
(18:44):
is so confusing. I've been investing for like ten years now.
I am very confused about it still. I just know
that I want to be able to retire. And everyone
gets in their head and they're like, I don't have
thousands of dollars to invest. You don't have to, but
it's I think it's just so confusing. And then people
will see things if they have kids, Oh A five
twenty nine, What the hell's are wroth Ira? What is?
(19:05):
And it's confusing. So I would love to have someone
answer the questions simplify some things for a financial sector
as well, because we women are newer to the financial independence,
even though our generation, you know, we we have been
independent our whole time. But and then I don't know
what else that I had a bunch of suggestions for things,
(19:26):
but I think I would try maybe one to two
and if they go, well, see where it goes from there.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Are you thinking like a series over like a like
monthly or I was.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Thinking once a month because I don't want to get
two in over my head, and I was thinking in
my mind four sounded good. Yeah, not's brilliant. I just
like I think that you and I are similar in
the way of like we know that we are afforded
and not because we're lucky. We worked hard to get
our jobs and where we are, but we are afforded
(19:59):
a platform that other people don't have, even if they've
worked hard to get to a certain spot in their career.
And so at the end of the day, I don't
know if it's like age or what it is, but
it's like, you want to be doing things to help people,
and you have other things. I know that you're working
on that, like at some point you will talk about
(20:19):
whenever you've developed it or whatever. But it's like, you know,
it's easy to be in this position and just do
things that benefit us. Yep, we are lucky where we
will receive free stuff all the time, right, and the
businesses want us to post about it and promote them,
or we're invited to like that soft opening of that
restaurant that I got to go to and we have
(20:40):
these like luxuries and benefits, and it's kind of the
joke of not implying Jenny and I are rich, but
the rich getting rich or right, like celebrities are the way.
I always get all the free stuff and you're like,
what the hell, I'd love to try it, and you
know I can't afford it. So it's kind of like
finding this balance. And as I've gotten older, my most
important thing is my time. So I have said no
(21:03):
more and more to a lot of kind of hosting
or free events that take up my time, especially on
the weekends, especially like I'm sorry, I'm spending time with
my family, which just it has to be my top priority.
At the end of my life. I will feel good
that I hosted that charity event, but I'll feel a
(21:23):
lot better that I spent that weekend with my daughter.
I'm sure, Like it's just it's what it's going to be. Yeah,
So it's finding a balance. But things like this, I
feel like you and I have connections, like we can
reach out to someone and they might be down to
do the panel or whatever. But yeah, I don't know,
that's just something I want to do. And I thought, oh,
I should do it in like the early year months
(21:47):
when people are looking for things to do because it's
cold and crappy. So yeah, that's smart. Yeah, So I
think that's what I'm going to work on next.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yes, if you need me to speak on a panel
about how to part in front of your significant other
without them hearing it, I do like speak on that
or just like little tips and tricks I've learned over
the years when I've been like in a bad situation
where I'm like, my stomach hurts, but I don't want
this new guy to hear me blowing out the toilet.
I've got your tips there.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I don't believe that you that they didn't hear you.
I think that they still heard you, and they just
pretended they you're.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Telling me when I was going like this, I think
they were hearing the Yes.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I think that they were hearing that. And I think
they also were just disturbed by your fucking black lung
cough and they were like, I don't even want that.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Actually really kind of hurt us now to do that.
I don't know where that cough even came from. And
my stick right now, like what was.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I don't think it was healthy I'll tell you that
much did I really quickly? By the way, last night
I was hooking up with Jake shout out and do
you know what this motherfucker said to me. I was like,
he lifts my legs in some position and I said,
how god damn tight, Like put that thing down. He
was like, oh, the apes are supposed to be making
you more flexible, and I was like, I can kill you.
(23:01):
I was like, no, fun fact. Actually, usually working out
it makes me tighter because I'm like all tight from
the workout and I'm not properly stretching after. So get
off my ass. Oh yeah, don't be moving things in
different positions sometimes, just like, can't it just be normal today?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
I know you joke about like starfishing and stuff a lot. Yeah,
I would like to believe that maybe you do other
positions besides that, But if you don't, that's fine. I
do have one question for you real quick, thank you.
So if you happen to find yourself in more of
a doggy style position, or maybe you're starfishing but you're
flat on your stomach's on the bed, you know, fair
(23:40):
if you have your period, does it ever hurt that way?
Because I actually like feel sort of like a pain
when we are doing such a Certain.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Positions don't have a ton of period sets anymore. Realistically,
I find that I am typically drier during that time,
so I feel like I can I feel like it
doesn't feel as good because of that, right, Yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I just it's a there's certain angles that hit sometimes
where I'm like, oh, like almost like I'm like getting
my cherry popped again or something. Congratulation you're so on
a reborn version.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I saw someone's dick today. I forgot to tell you explain.
I went to freaking Whole Foods when I was going
on the walk to meet our friend, my friend Joe
whatever that is not And I go, you know, they
have codes to get into the bathrooms at Whole Foods. Okay,
the girl gives me a code. He did not have
the lock on it. Oh yeah, I type it and
(24:39):
I open it. He is standing there holding his dong.
He just we just make eye contact, and I was
like a and I shut the door and another guy's
coming out the other when he goes that guy didn't
have his door locked. Iday, I go and no, He's like,
you got a lock, that's what I'm saying. I was
I just saw someone's dick. God did he react? No,
he didn't. It's like whatever. He just looked me in
(25:00):
the eye, like slowly. He was an old man, was
not old old, but older. He was older than me,
but not like seventy. Yeah, I don't know, maybe sixty,
maybe fifty five. He didn't give a fuck. Yeah, it's
like whatever. I think he was a little surprised, but
also maybe he was didn't lock it because he was
looking for a little action in his life and how
he picks up green or anything. I didn't like make
(25:21):
a whole scene. Yeah, you don't know. You didn't make
a scene. Thank you. I did not for one. I
did not for one. Oh god, Okay, we have so
many emails. What the hell happened? Okay, we actually got
one right after we recorded last week, so I thought
(25:42):
we would start off with that one. It's good. We're
a little late. Kate Fallon and Jenny, I look forward
to your podcast every week and appreciate your content. Thank you.
I also want to say thank you both for taking
time to respond on Instagram. I'm sure you get tons
of messages and you guys taking time out of your
day to respond means a lot. I'm reaching out to
get some advice. My husband writes about the Minnesota Vikings.
He has started to grow his social media following and
(26:04):
has had people who comment negative and hateful things about
him more and more. This past week, I had my
first hand experience with a negative comment being made about me.
My husband mentioned going to Vikings training camp with me,
and some troll made multiple comments about my weight. I'm
typically a pretty private person and I don't have a
large social media presence. My question for you, too is
(26:25):
do your significant others get hate and how do they
deal with it. It's also frustrating that the go to
insult towards me as a woman was a comment about weight.
How do you both not let comments about your appearance
affect you? Thank you for all you do. I won't
say her name, just in case she doesn't want me to.
She didn't say not to.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I don't think Andrew's ever been made fun of or
bullied or anything on social media because of me. But
maybe something has happened that I just haven't seen and
he hasn't told me. But yeah, as far as I know,
I haven't, he hasn't had to deal with anything like that.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And I'm sorry that you are. I'm first of all, yeah,
so sorry, And just so you know, that always shows
me when someone goes and they always go for a
weight on a woman, always, even if like they're thin.
They could probably if people hated Jenny, for instance, they
would probably go for Jenny. Even though Jenny has a
(27:19):
very like the men making the comments would kill to
have Jenny as a woman in bed with them. They
would probably still make a comment about like all her
thighs are thick or something. It's because they're so ignorant
they can't think of anything else. And I'm always like, okay,
you can talk about my body. I mean that that
is I don't know, it doesn't not hurt, and especially
(27:42):
your first time. Jake's definitely had it. But Jake is
like the most confident, secure human ever. And the only
things they've ever said about Jake that I've seen, or
they'll make fun of his height because he's like shorter,
and even so they don't they usually don't go in
on him. The men who talk shit always just go
in on me and my weight. So I very much
(28:04):
firsthand know what you're talking about. I've dealt with it
since I've moved here to Minnesota. It is a very
Minnesota thing for me. It's like almost like a kind
of a trigger since living here. People didn't talk about
my weight in Nevada or Indiana, or if they did,
they didn't do it in a public format or forum.
So I would say it's never going to get easy.
(28:25):
If it's something that is affecting your mental health, then
I think you have to ask your I don't know
if you said her husband or boy frank husband, I
think you have to ask him to just not include you.
And I would suggest if you don't already have your
social stuff on private, I would make it private because
they then they can't access you. And I think that's
really unfair to live like that. But I'm saying, if
(28:47):
it's affecting your mental health, yep, you should. If it's
something you're like that hurt for a moment, but I
don't think about it again, then fuck them and live
your life and don't let losers dictate how you you live.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
For sure, And it even if like you do have
that mindset, you'll probably still be hurt for the first
few minutes of seeing something and then you might get
over it because I'll still see a negative comment about me,
and I'll be hurt for a second, and then I
am able to get over pretty much everything right away.
But I'll never just like see a negative comment and
be like, no big.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Deal, right right, Yeah, I don't so, I mean my
I've talked about being friends with my ex who also
works in the building, and he gets a ton of
online hate, and we actually recently talked about this, and
one thing that we just agreed on is like, I
(29:40):
don't know how to word this perfectly, but we're both
really happy in our lives, and those are really unhappy people,
so it's like we could let it affect us and
make us unhappy, but then we're on their same level
and it's like we have like we're just we're both
just so happy in our lives. So it's like, I
(30:01):
don't know, like I'm not gonna let because the old
thing is some loser in his basement. I don't care
if it's some loser working at his actual full time job.
Like he's to comment something like that on social media.
I'm sorry, you are a really low level human. Yeah,
for sure, you just are. I agree. I agree. If
you want to get off hobby. Yeah, if you want
(30:22):
to gossip about like celebrities with your friends, because you're
just like whatever. I even if like I'm looking at
this Blake Lively drama, I wouldn't go online and make
a comment that's so embarrassing. Yeah to my family as
well to make a comment like that. So I'm sorry,
and you're better than that, and I love you. Okay,
(30:44):
did you want to do one next? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I can't read the next one. Okay, So this is
hi Jenny and Fallon. First off, I love you both.
I heard you're talking about getting older and taking clocks,
and I feel like I can relate to both of
you so much. I'll be thirty three in November and
have been with a wonderful guy for four and a
half years, and if it were up to him, we'd
be married by now. But I'm in no rush. I
want to be with him and no one else. But
(31:06):
I also really like things the way they are and
I'm afraid of ruining a good thing and wonder if
I'm even the marrying kind. I've also struggled with anxiety
since I was a child, so Jenny, you sharing about
your struggles with it really helps me. During a time
I was also struggling. The thought of kids in the
ticking clock has been a big thing for me the
last year, and since I'm with a man who would
(31:27):
ideally like kids, I've been stressing to figure out if
that's something I even want, and if it is, how
much time do I have to get my life where
I want it to be and be the put together
person I thought i'd be at this age and as
a parent fallin. I find your story so inspiring as
someone who didn't initially want children but seems to really
enjoy and excel at motherhood, I would love if you
(31:49):
wrote something like you'd mentioned about what you've learned. You
hear so much about people who always knew they wanted
kids in motherhood and it was their life's purpose, not me,
but not much about the people who have had doubts
about making one of the biggest decisions a person can make.
Sorry for the long email, but I wanted you both
know that hearing you discuss your experiences with these things
as successful strong women is super helpful to me, and
(32:11):
I feel so much less alone with my.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Fears about it.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
I'm grateful to you both for doing what you do
best yet still being vulnerable and authentic, and that comes
from grace. Well, Fallin, is there anything that you want
to say just because she is curious about your transition
and what you've learned to excel in motherhood?
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Yeah, I think, And I did write something which I
won't read right now. I did write something, and I
think the overarching theme for me is which I will
get into with that if I read it at some
point on here. I think that I thought I didn't
(32:52):
want to be a mother because I don't have maternal instincts.
But I think that that so I think that it's
been surprising to me to be a mom and feel
like it was so much easier than I built them
in my head because I don't think I still don't
(33:12):
think i'm maternal, but I think I'm a good mom
to Olive, and I think that that is hard to explain,
but I don't. I think that there's this, like I
don't know, perception of being maternal that scares people who
are built like me away from having kids. And I
still and I always want to walk a fine line
(33:34):
because if you don't want kids, I don't have kids,
like I don't like I would never think less of you,
and I wouldn't. I'm never going to be the person
that's like, you'll change your mind. I did like, I'm
not going to do that because so many people don't
want kids, and I see I have plenty of couple
friends who are past the point of being able to
probably have kids or want kids, and they're very happy,
(33:57):
they're very content, and I love that for them. So
or friends that want kids and they struggle to have them.
So I always want to be sensitive. And I'm not
implying being a parent is easy, but I think I
built it up so much in my head that I
don't have this ability. But I also know I chose
(34:17):
a really great partner, and I think it could have
been very different feeling if I didn't have the right partner.
And I actually heard a podcast that talked about this
and I really liked it, and she was saying, from
the very beginning, you need to let your husband help
you with stuff. Don't get frustrated because they don't know
(34:39):
what they're doing, because it makes them feel stupid too,
and be like, no, I just got this, because you're
just setting it up that no, I got this. Every
time you do that, you're pushing them away and you're
adding more to your plate. Whereas if you're like, they
are fully capable of taking care of the child in
the exact same ways you are, other than breastfeeding, every
single other thing they can one hundred percent do as well.
(35:03):
So let it be fifty to fifty. Yeah, aside from breastfeeding.
I get that, Like yet they can't breastfeed. But and
so I was like, yes, yes, quit being like I
got it. No, you need your sleep more than me.
I already know how to do it because I do
it when you're at work or whatever. Because if you
had more maternity leave and they had to go back
sooner and you now have this routine, no like you No, yes,
(35:27):
you figure it out. You're a very capable adult. Sure.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
So I mean that's a good tip because I have
the personality just at work of like I'll just do
it myself. So I would totally probably be the same
way if I had kids.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
And I think that you will build up resentment towards
your partner, and I would say that is a there's
that could be a lot of your fault as well
and not their fault. And now there are just lazy
sacks who don't help at all, and that is you.
You deserve to have the resentment build up towards them,
like do your fucking part. So yeah, I don't know
(36:02):
if that is helpful at all, but that's like kind
of like a starter of like where we get into
our minds so much of how we need to be
as mothers. And that's just yeah, show, Okay, let's see
we have some more. Okay, that was great, she said, yep, okay. Question.
Oh wait, we're gonna save that one for next week.
There is a question about the mole. Yes, but we're
(36:25):
going to save that for next week because Jenny hasn't
finished watching it, so we're going to come back to
your question next week. I just want to give you
a heads up. Okay, this one says it's my first
time emailing, but man, did you two strike a chord
last week. I just got done catching up at the
podcast and it's eleven fifty seven pm and I'm doing
my typical spiral in my head of all the things
that make me anxious as I attempt to fall asleep.
(36:46):
We know that life been there. I just had that
last night. I'm a thirty seven year old mother to
two little girls. Henley and Peyton six and almost four,
and lately I have really struggled with my age. I
know thirty seven really isn't that old, but I constantly
get anxiety when I think about the fact that the carefree, drinking,
wild years of my life are behind me. It's not
that I have any desire to go out and be
(37:07):
the party girl again. I honestly don't think i'd survive,
but I just don't know where my place is and everything.
On the inside, I don't feel any older, but that
damn mirror refuses to lie to me. I just had
a friend that turned twenty one, and I didn't go
out with her for a birthday because I felt like
I'd just be the old lady and they'd all wonder
why I was there or talk about later. I know
that's ridiculous. They are my friends, right, Uh. It's just
(37:30):
such a trip to go through these phases of life
fallin I too, also never thought I wanted kids, and
here I am with one off to kindergarten and the
other starting preschool, bawling my eyes out every time anyone
mentions back to school. Everyone always told me that they
grow up so fast, and I know that but it
still just seems to be flying by in front of
my eyes. Okay, enough whining. I just want to tell
you how much I really enjoy this podcast. Whether it's
(37:52):
poop stories or you two talking about the ups and
downs of life, you both give me so much comfort
and a feeling of it's not just me. Thanks for
making me feel like I'm not alone out here in
the land of not old but not young either. I
met Foul last year at the State Fair with Zach,
and I really hope to catch both of you this
year fingers crossed. Oh and please send a shout out
to fellow listener Rebecca. She has a coworker of mine
(38:14):
and had an accident while riding her horse. It sounds
like she's going to fully recover, but has a long
road ahead of her. Wow, that was long. Sorry, keep
being fabulous ladies, until next time, Missy. Well. First of all, Rebecca, sheeesh,
I hope that you recover very quickly. Yeah. I know
that horse accidents can be awful, so I really hope
(38:36):
that she has a quick recovery. Yeah, seriously. And I
get the balling your eyes out as you're sending your
kid off to school and you see the back to school.
I had my moment this past week where I was
buying clothes for Olive and I was like, five t
is the last tea size? Oh yeah, and then you
go to like regular sizes, regular kids sizes, and I
was like, oh did I cry now? Like I was like, oh,
(38:59):
filling all the emotion on that one. So but you're right,
thirty seven is not old at all, and it's it's
the weird trying to find your place in life. But
your party days may not be behind you, because let
me tell you something, these women in these fifties and
sixties and plus these days, when those kids hit like
high school and they can be on their own, they're
raging again. Okay, they're raging again. They find their people
(39:21):
and they're back out there. So there is still some
of that ahead of you if you want it.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
I think for sure. I also feel like, Babe, she
already went through this. But once the kids are like
three or four or something. I've got friends who have
kids about that age and they have a little bit
more freedom now of not having a baby attached to them,
so they're kind of back and like, I'm gonna go
get a little drunk this weekend, and I'm like, so
not in that phase currently, So I'm.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Like, you know, you get out there, you live it up,
you do it. Yeah, now we do have more, but
we're gonna come back and do it because Jenny has
an important appointment I do, which will probably talk about
next week. I don't think I'll be talking about this
one for a little while. But yeah, it's not anything
like weird, no, like you know, it's it's I will
be personally removing moles from her body. That's an appointment
(40:10):
with me, and it's very intimate and she wants to
make sure the recovery goes well first. So anyway, thanks
for listening. We'll talk to you. We'll have to figure
that out. Oh are you gone, Oh you're gone. I'll
still come in. It's all my way into the there, Okay, okay,
so we'll still have a podcast. All right, We'll talk
to you then,
