Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello, welcome to the I'm Still Fun Podcast. We are
in full fall, like I am loving sort of. I
think it's full fall this point. Well it's technically full
fall because it was fall on Sunday. Yeah, I was
gonna say we hit the first day of fall. Saturday
was like super hot, but yesterday was like my freaking
dream weather Sunday. Oh man, we went to the zoo.
(00:24):
I was thriving, just like, give me that cool breeze.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
See. And I was up at the north Shore, so
I didn't know what the weather was like down in
the cities, but I had heard it was like chilled.
And so when I got up for the show this morning,
I loved walking outside and I had a sweatshirt on,
and I was like, yes, because that was actually hot
when you leave probably probably, And it is supposed to
be like eighties this week, or like low eighties. And
then so I'm like, God, why are we like not
getting any fall weather. It's going to be one of
(00:48):
those years where we get no fall weather.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
That to me, don't say it. I don't put it
in the universe anymore. I want to stop pull back.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I stopped like I was saying beatlesjuice three times for
a second that I don't like you. No, gosh, let's see.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I'm wearing a full white outfit. I just walked the
hallway and I forgot. Colt knows my personal life very well,
and he's like, he's your tsunami hit you know, the period.
I didn't think about that that I'm wearing a full
white outfit. So if the period tsunami hits me, then
that's not great. But I have one pill left my hormone,
my like period inducer. Tonight it's going to take and
(01:23):
then we'll see what happens. Will I get a period
before Italy?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I don't know. I still believe that you will. Hopefully
it'll come in the next like day or two, and
then hopefully it's just gonna like burst out of you.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I wish here's my dream it burst out of me,
not in this white outfit. And everything levels out emotionally
for me because I have been so irritable.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Give me an example, tell me something that Jake did
that pissed you off.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It's olive and I feel so bad. She to me,
is next level whiny this past weekend, and I was like,
I'm gonna snap. I'm going to like, I was so
frustrated by her, like everything she said. Yeah, I don't
even know if it was maybe it was her normal voice,
but to me it was like hey, And I was like,
(02:14):
and I don't want to be I don't want to
get on her twenty four to seven. She's not fun
for me. I don't want to be that kind of parent.
And Jake at one point was like, you should go
take a nap and I'll take her to do something.
I'm like, cool, cool, like I. And then it made
me feel guilty because I'm like, I want my I
want to spend my weekends with her. Yeah, but I
think it was better for her and for me to
have like an hour apart because and then we I
(02:36):
took her to get photos on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
She didn't listen to the girl at all. No, eighteen
minutes of photos, that's it. I think that the photographer,
who's my friend, she was like, no, kids are you
never know there? But I think she was literally like
she wanted to be over to wait.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So should it have been a longer session, is what
you're saying? Honestly? No, probably not. I was like eight
seems like enough time to get up photo.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Times you'll like, oh, let's change and stuff going well,
but she didn't need an outfit change. However, I do
feel like it was shorter than normal, and I was
completely I wanted it to be over too, and I
was just like I could because I you know, when
you're from other people, you can't be as stern as
you would like because you're afraid they'll be.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Like, oh my god. Yeah, so I'm like.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Sup on that chair like she asked you, or I'm
gonna So I should really look at parenting. It's really
sometimes just freaking exhausting. Obviously, I've never really thought about
that aspect of like you might already want to snap
because kids can drive you a little crazy, but then
to add in like the hormonal aspect of it of
like going through things like that, because like I should
(03:40):
have known the moment that I was ready to throat
punch Andrew because of the way he was eating. Now,
normally his eating does frustrate me, but this was on
like a new level a couple of weeks ago, and
I was like, this is just another factor of me
getting my period because I wanted to snap.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, I want to strangle him.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, Jake still will annoy me a little bit, but
he's he's better about reading the situation.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
With me than all of us at this point.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So ha, But you were off Gallivanta, Yeah, on the
North Shore we were you took did you name your
We still haven't. I took a bunch of notes because
a lot of people commented when I had posted the
picture on Instagram of the van, and so I took
some notes of what people were saying. And Andrew's just
like not vibing with anything. He's being a piggy little
(04:28):
b word and I'm like, all right, let's just figure
something out.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So we don't have a name for her yet. I
keep calling it her. It feels like it's her to me,
but I don't know. So we'll see TBD on that. Yeah,
we went up to the North Shore. We've been up
there like a handful of times because Andrew's grandpa has
a cabin up there. So we had already had that
book before we ever got the van, and so people
were like, oh, you're doing the van life this weekend
and I'm like, no, not really, like we brought the
(04:51):
van with to have fun and like whatever. But we
did explore they're called wild campsites, so you go, you
can stay at these places for free. It could be
a spot along Lake Superior that's like a parking lot
you pull off at, or it could be in the
middle of nowhere and you drive on a dirt road
up to a path off of the road or something.
Scare me. Yeah, I mean, there's definitely things that seem
(05:13):
like they could be scary. But I've listened to a
lot of road like camper van podcasts and it's always women,
and it's like, don't you feel scared being in the
middle of nowhere by yourself? And like I feel more
safe than when I'm in like a city and there's
like a guy looking at me from a distance or
something like that, you know. So yeah, we kind of
just explored around, did some hiking and all that good stuff.
(05:35):
Saw some fall colors. It was lovely.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But now that you witnessed it with your eyes, when
do you think will be the peak weekend next weekend
or the weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
After or the we after. It's hard to say because literally, no,
let me tell you what it did. Okay, between Friday
to Sunday, the color has changed so much already, But
like I don't know, like For me, it feels like
this coming weekend will be peak weekend, So like the
twenty eighth or something. I think this is Saturday. I
feel like that's going to be peak weekend. But then
I don't know, because they might go the next weekend
(06:04):
and change even more. But then at that point it
might start the leaves mice are falling. Yeah, so that's
where it's like, I don't know. It's kind of up
and the air. But also quite frankly, it gets so
busy during those weekends. It was already busy this past weekend,
and like luckily a lot of the things we do
are like more off the beaten path and stuff, so
we weren't at all the state. We didn't go to
(06:25):
any state parks this year. There was this time around.
We went to other hikes and stuff, and so it
was lovely. We did get to see some fall colors.
I'm happy we did not pay to go on the
gondola at Lutsyn. Randomly ran into Dave's daughter Allison and
their family and they had they had done it. We
ran into them on Saturday afternoon. They did it that
(06:46):
morning and she Allison was like, I thought it was
going to be like a little bit better, like the
colors weren't as good. And I saw other videos of
people that had gone on it over the weekend and
it seemed decent, but it's not. I don't know, it's
thirty dollars a person, and that's just like kind of
insane to me. Yeah, to know that you're like charging
people that much to go on a gondola ride that
lasts like a few minutes and yeah, you get to
(07:08):
take it back whatever. And I get it that I'm
not a mother, so I don't have kids, and that's
like a good fall activity probably to do with kids,
but for me, I'd rather go hike this hike that
I did.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And I would argue, I don't know that's a good
activity that entertains your kids. For you said ten minutes, Well, yeah,
I mean price per entertainment ratio. Don't know that I
agree with that.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, so you go to one side of the mountain
and then you get off there or I guess you
probably could go round trip, just do it in one hole,
but most people like go off, get lunch at the
Shelle or like I had the views around there, and
then get back on and go back. So it's probably
longer than that. You can make it more of like
an hour experience, I think, if you choose to. But yeah,
I just think it's better to go out and see
(07:50):
the colors by foot then pay that kind of money
to see.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, I mean, obviously that is that portionous because you
don't have kids, right of might not even make it
high enough to elevation to see good leaves with a kid.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
But yeah, this hike I did, it was in my opinion,
pretty easy, and it was two point two miles total,
like it's a round circle trip. And I feel like,
I understand, you're right. I don't have kids, so I
don't know how long that they would last doing that,
though not every kids so different. I know I did
like a one mile out and back with Olive, and
I thought it would be easy. And it's the one
(08:24):
that Jake was like, let's let her to her own
and I literally was snapping the whole trip because she
they stop and look at Okay, oh here's a spider web.
Oh here's this. Oh here's that. My legs hurt?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
It is yeah, and less you have them in a
backpack or they're like a very unique kid who's like, yeah,
I love hiking for endless amounts of time. It can really,
it could really change the experience, even for like a
hike you think would be short and easy, breezy.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, I'm any that. Yeah. One thing I will say, though,
is we're in this convenience store. I'm grabbing butter. We
needed butter for something, and I don't know where Ange
is for a while. I find him. He's reading a book.
It says sex Intense is the title of the book. Okay,
and I'm like, okay, cool. Well, later that day, we're
hiking and we're like, let's go find this wild campsite
(09:11):
that's nearby, because you can use an app to do that.
It's called I Overlander. I've gotten lots of dms already
being like how do you do this and that and whatever?
So you look on there and we find the scamsite
nearby this hike, and we pull off into it, and
we did break the tent, the tent in the camper
van in You hadn't had sex in it yet, no,
because we've only drove to like, but you probably.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Would have already done it. I honestly soon you might
have done it in front of my house when you
parked it there.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I thought, no, no, we haven't. We did take it
up to Crosby that one week and we were there
over Labor Day weekend, but we were just like doing
lots of activities and we had a full airbnb to ourselves.
So it's like, oh, that poor airbnb, I know, trust me.
And they have like a ring camera right outside this
like patio door, and we'd have like the patio doors open,
so I'm like, oh, what did they see? Or it
wasn't ring, but it was some kind of security. So anyways,
(09:57):
we broke it in and then afterwards he was telling
me something he had learned from that book, and it
was that would tent sex or whatever kind, it's best
to actually like wear a condom so that there's not
as big of a mess situation. Okay, so that was interesting.
He's like, yeah, we could make like a fun thing
(10:17):
out of it, Like we could go before a big trip,
we could go to like a sex storing and get
like fun condoms. And I was like, what the fuck
does that mean? I Am not twenty one years old
and want this icy hot condom going inside? I mean,
you know what I mean, That's what he said. But yeah,
so that was interesting and honestly, we did it with
like everything open, Like the back doors were open, the
sliding door was open, the windows were open. Was it
(10:39):
was it like the time you had sex with the
cherry blossoms Jenny, Oh, not quite. It was better because
like there was the actual breeze. There were relieves. Yeah,
there were leaves waving at me as I was my gosh,
you know, getting my poundtown in. Yeah, that was one time. Like,
so we were just chilling in the back before this
all started, and I thought Andrew was like thinking I
(10:59):
was sleeping because I was just literally watching the leaves
blow in the wind. And I turn around and he's
got his eyes shut, and I was like, are you sleeping?
He goes, nah, I'm thinking about how I want to
blow that back out and whatever. And next thing I
look over, he's got a boner and I'm like, Jesus,
I thought you were like digging it. Naw, very different.
So then things escalated really quickly there, so geez. But yeah,
(11:23):
so it was a great weekend and we had fun.
And yeah, highly recommend going up there to see fall
colors and try to do it during the week if
you have the availability, because it is quite busy. On weekend.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I told Jacob was like, I want to go, and
I say it every year and I was like, and
he goes the weekend, it's going to be the best
will be the weekend we're in Italy, which is not
next weekend. The weekend after I was like, you're probably right,
so yeah, so that never mind. I guess it's still
just really pretty.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Like even this past weekend, even though it's like I
would say thirty percent changing of colors right now, it
was still gorgeous. But what did you do all weekend?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What was our anniversary? We had dinner, It was fine.
There was nothing exciting. Really, I'm trying to think we
did anything exciting. We really didn't. Yesterday we went to
the Zoos all the new baby tigers, which was cute.
But I don't know, not a ton. I think we're
trying to like just get time in. Last week was
a lot for me. I had like I had like
two different nights where after work I had something else
(12:19):
I had to do. Actually it might have been three nights.
So it was like wake up, go to the Jason Show,
go straight to the radio station, and then have yet
another work event after and I was been very hormonal
and very agitated, and I was exhausted last week and
I'm like questioning everything in my life because of it.
(12:40):
And I was like, this week I only have my
book club. But you know, I was like, so I
get torn with my book club because I love my
book club group so much, but since COVID, I just
don't have it pretty much at all anymore. Yeah, and
then I'll see them, like I'll like post like here
a free movie tickets for a movie we're doing, and
I see everyone, I'm like, oh my god, I love
(13:01):
seeing them so much. I got to host a book club,
but then like I don't. I was like, basically, so
I have it this Wednesday, and I'm so excited to
see them. But I'm like, I I can't keep doing this. Yeah,
because I and so, I said, I'm like moving forward.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh, I know.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
We had last week we went to a soccer game
with Jake's coworkers and they were lovely and it was fine,
app fun and.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Stuff all that. I was like, why are you at
a soccer game? I didn't realize that's because it was
Jake's coworkers.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
And he was like like, I want to go, please,
but they invited us. I'm like, of course, like Jake
always says yes to my work stuff, so I was like,
unless I'm getting paid for the rest of the year,
I'm saying no to everything on a weeknight, and even
some of the paid things I'm going to say no
to because I just I can't do it and stay sane.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
And it sinks because like they were, you know, we
have like the benefit of getting invited to some really
cool stuff. And like Tina went to like that restaurant
opening here in the West End, and I was going
to go, but I'm like, no, that'd be free nights
where I wouldn't see Olive. And that's the thing. If
I go have an event right after work, I don't
get to see her. So it's like it's just not
worth it to me. So as much as like I
(14:10):
love my book club ladies, I love my daughter more
and they know that, they like never guilt me or anything,
you know. So it's like and then I'm getting to
go on this trip to Italy, so i won't see
her for a week, which will be glorious like in
the regard of like just having adult time and getting
away and it's Italy Hello, but I don't know. So
(14:30):
I'm just I feel like very overwhelmed lately, and it's
it's me needing to like say no to things. And
I'm pretty good about that actually, but like, for instance,
they asked me to come into the Jason Show at
nine am. If I go in at nine am, I
can't do anything else. Nine am is like this weird
time where like I will no longer get to work
out because I have to choose do I work out
(14:53):
or do I see Olive. So I've said, hey, guys,
can I start coming in at nine thirty? That would
literally make an because then I could do an eight
am workout class, so then I can spend the morning
with all of take her to school and work out
and get to the show on time. And They're like,
oh my god, yes, I just had to ask. But
I think we like all get in our heads like
so afraid we're like inconveniencing someone they're gonna say no
(15:15):
or whatever. So I just I asked and they were like,
oh my god, absolutely, And they told me when I
took this job, take off any days you want, like
get in my head, and I get nervous to ask
for days off because I don't want to like inconvenience them.
But it's like, no, I need to start. I need
to start doing that more often for sure. So I
just need to do it. And like, like I started
to do this thing, like next week, all of has
(15:35):
a field trip and I'm like, well, i'd have to
miss the Jason Show.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
What am I doing? I don't care. I'm going to
miss the Jason Show so I can go on a
field trip with my daughter.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
So it's and I think people like ask me this
a lot. They're like, but then why are you doing both?
And it's like the show in general, the Jason Show
does not affect Now that I've stated, hey, I need
to like come in later, that won't actually affect my
time seeing her. So I just needed to get that
in order. And it's like good now. But I think
(16:04):
it's like it's just when I filled in last year.
It's different when you're filling in, you know when it's over, right,
So now I have to find the new routine the
same as I did when I moved afternoons. That was
really hard for me for a while to figure out
what my new routine was. So it's just change and
it's weird. And then when I started the Jason Show
in July, no consistency because we did the show for
(16:26):
a few weeks, then it was off for like a
month and it was like a couple of days with
a state fair. And then now I feel like I'm
figuring out for real what it's going to be like.
So it was just it's like anything. It's just I
have to find my routine. And but the fact that
I'm going through this weird hormonal thing at this time
is just not a good partnership, I guess.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
We'll see. Maybe I'll get my periods, you know, I may.
I'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
You probably will. You're probably going to be like, Wow,
this is the entire reason I've been like this for
the last week or so.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
This is why if not if I am in the
and this is what it's like, Oh my god, And
I'm not even going through the hot flashes yet, Jenny,
can you imagine this plus the hot flashes?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Why why do we have to go through this? I
feel like I was such a naive person up until
a few months ago when I learned a little bit
more about menopause, and I don't know why, but I did.
And I just assume it was hot flashes and you
can't really sleep at night. I didn't realize what it
does to you, that it can make you be kind
of crazy because your hormones are all over the place
and all of this other stuff. And I'm like, great,
(17:28):
add that to the list of shit I already deal
with on top of anxiety and stuff. Oh you know what,
I was going to bring this up. So I think
when I had spoke about getting on medication for anxiety
and all that stuff, I had said for a while
I could not drink coffee, and I had stopped drinking
alcohol and all that stuff, and like slowly in the
last couple months, I have had like a glass of
(17:50):
wine here and there at like events, and so this
past weekend I was like, I don't know, I feel
like I've been feeling so much better. I'm going to
maybe try to get a little tipps, see, because why not.
Ange and I are had a cabin like we're on
a leg. Let's have a couple glasses of wine. And
it's like, I don't even know, I feel like I
a can't even get tipsy anymore, even though I had
(18:11):
like a cup. We went to this winery, I had
like a flight of wine, so it was probably like
a glass and a half about. And then I went
back and made dinner for us and cooked for a
little while, had like a glass of wine in between
all of that, and then I poured one more and
I was like, I don't really want this anymore. It's
like I don't really desire it sounds so fun to drink,
(18:36):
but then when I'm actually doing it, I don't really
care to do it much anymore, which I know is
like a sign of growing up and whatever. But I
just wanted to put it out there because I know
that obviously I was such a partier back in the day,
and I think it sounds wild to some people to
hear that, like I just don't drink anymore or whatever
it is. And I know there were some people who
also deal with anxiety who said that, yes, alcohol really
(18:57):
screws with them too. I will say the main thing
now is like it didn't screw with me feeling anxious
or anything. It does just mess up my sleep so badly, though,
Like I just couldn't really fall asleep because my heart
was racing a little bit more on Saturday night. Yeah,
sleep is so important. It's not, but it's nice to
know that after however many months it's been since I
(19:18):
think May was when I got on medication that I
am capable of drinking alcohol again to an extent. I
just don't really desire it so much, And coffee has
been a part of my routine again. After like a
month or so of getting on medication, I was able
to start drinking coffee again, which I'm happy about because
I just like love drinking coffee as like a little
(19:40):
treat me too stuff but me too. Also. I was
going to tell you so Google photos sometimes will pop
up a little notification and be like, look at this
album or look at these memories whatever. Well it was
one pops up on my screensavor and it says memories
of us, and it's a picture of me and you.
Oh god. It was just like, okay, like let me
(20:00):
see what it produced. So I took a screen grab
of the video to see like what it put together
of you and I, and I gotta find a quick
hole one. I just got to scroll back a little
bit because I was like, I gotta tell Falon about this.
Maybe we can use this as like our promotional thing
to promote the podcast for today. But of course now
I'm like probably not going to find it because I
want to looking for it. I will say I also
(20:22):
did put up what we're talking about, like kind of
fall things I have like a sub stack that I'm
horrible about updating, like a newsletter. And but there's a
link in my bio on my instagram fallon fal and
ktiewb if you want to go check it out. But
I put together like twenty fall recommendations. Some are super basic,
but I put like because there are like train rides
you can do to see the leaves. Yeah, I feel
(20:44):
like links her three of those.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
How to make your own pumpkin creamer thing at home,
a soup recipe that I recommend every year.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It's my favorite soup.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Just like a bunch of like Fall bucket list things.
If you're looking for something to check out, you can
go check out.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
How do you do it? Again? How do you find
that list?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
It's just in a link in my bio on my Instagram.
I put it up on my blog too, so I stopped.
We used to always do a weekend in five picks,
and I just stopped. I decided I'm going to start
posting them on mind cults Instagram, and it's weird. I
feel like I'm like going to get in trouble but
I'm not, and it's like, it's just weird.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
It's different now because social media is really more so
the go to than going to a website. It's just
it's different than what it used to be because we're
all used to be required to have so many blogs
a week and oh my god, it's just not the
thing our sales goal, like our digital goals at all. Yeah, Okay,
I found the video. Okay. The first picture that they
took was from us in the Pride parade like three
(21:41):
years ago. Okay, not like the best then it's us.
Oh that's a jingle ball years jingle ball and that
was one of my first another one from Booty Cruise
and Tina's in it.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Well, I think we're like fake laughing thing laughing. This
was New Year's Yes, New Year's Gosh. How do you
remember baby shower?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, this was when I pretended to be the father
of You're trying beautiful moment. Yeah, this was a random
thing we did on the show in the middle of winter.
Your wedding, which I love this picture. I got this
like as a Facebook memory yesterday I did too, I
actually got it. Yeah, this was you being a creeper.
That's a start crazy. Was a really unflattering photo of
(22:18):
both of us. I feel, h yeah, I might have
to like I'm probably gonna cut this down. And then
our podcast and then there's like a video of us
doing something for that was the Katie Perry thing. Yeah, funny,
but I was like, oh, what is it? What are
our memories together? And it's just it's wild sometimes seeing
the things from so long ago, because that one at
jingle Ball, I'm I think that was the first jingle
(22:38):
Ball I ever did. Okay, that would have been like
twenty seventeen or twenty sixteen or something. Yeah, so it's
like wow. And also I used to do my hair
like that all the time. I do like one side
curled and the other side like tucked behind. Oh okay
all the time. But I always think it's so weird
how long you've been on the Morning Show. I still
think it's been like five years, and you're like, it's
(22:59):
not at all. What is it now? It's it's been
over eight years, and technically with iHeart I'm coming up
on nine years in October because I was at City's
ninety seven for a while. Not a while, but a
little bit razy. I know. I feel like the show
has just changed so much over the years. So we
just had an event on Thursday last week and a
lot of people came up to me and they're like, wow,
you've really been through like a lot of changes on
(23:21):
that show, and I was like, I sure have. And
there's those people who like know that, But then there's
other people who come up to me and like, because
I was so behind the scenes when I started on
the show, people just don't realize that I've been a
part of it for a while, and they feel like
I've only basically been on air for the last year,
and I'm like, what, Well, no, I've been on the
show for like eight years.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And it was when it was me, Steve and Dave
you work on significantly last like on air because you
were in the other studio and they would forget to
turn your mic on all.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
The well I wasn't even set up for that at first,
and then then they winched it. Yeah, I like that
was kind of part of my deal. When I said
that when I had a offer in Buffalo. I said,
you guys are capable of having me on in that studio,
can you please like get engineering in to figure that
out and put me on instead of you guys just
talking to me through the mirror, because I felt like
(24:12):
you guys would literally ask me questions and I just
like sign language something to you yep all the time,
and I felt like, I don't know, I really wanted
my voice to be on the show, not to take
away from anything that you guys do, but like those
little things like I wanted to be able to speak
and use my voice. So that was kind of part
of the deal when I decided to stay and not
go to Buffalo, was that they would put my mic on.
(24:33):
But then, of course, because Dave is very routine, he'd
always forget. He'd still wave me into the studio for
certain things. I'm like, Dave, you can literally just hit
the on button and put me on. But yeah, but yeah,
I was very very behind the scenes for quite a while,
and everyone that's come on the show since me has
pretty much just immediately been on air quite a bit. Yeah,
(24:53):
So it was Drake, and then it was vont and
now von Dan Bailey and stuff, and so I don't know.
I feel like I get it. I can't expect everyone
to understand what my role was on the show. But
I get like a little bit hurt when someone's like,
doesn't think I've been part of the show barely at all,
and I'm like, no, I.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Decade, Yeah that's crazy. Yeah, we have a bunch of emails.
I think, did you get emails? I don't think in
the last week I have. Okay, I'll go through the
ones I have. I got a few. Well, one person
just told me to be careful with my ten day medication.
They said I was extremely crabby at the end of it.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
They also say it gives you a yeast infection, and
that did happen to me. But this one says, and
my best friend and I both got our periods two
days early this month, so it must be the moon
because you had period. Weird period too, all right. This
one says, Hey, Fallon and Jinny, Oh yeah, you weren't
on this. Please don't say my name. I'm a longtime
listener to katiewb and love you both. I love listening
(25:56):
to your podcast. I'm not sure if this is something
you'd be willing to read or discuss on the podcast.
I've been married for eight years and have three kids.
I caught my husband having two separate emotional affairs after
two of my three kids.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
One I was.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Seven months postpartum and the other when I was three
months postpartum. My husband swears he never met anyone, but
I don't know what to believe. I want to stay
because I love him and I don't want to split
up our family. But how do you think you can
get past the anger and hurt from these emotional affairs.
One he said he was just a it was just
a conversation with a woman he knew from his past.
(26:29):
And the other one was two months only ending because
I found out and threatened to leave. I feel so
conflicted every day because I do love him and want
to work on our marriage, we both do, but I
can't shake the feeling he's going to do this again.
I really value your guys' opinions on things you discuss
on the radio. I just wanted to know if you
had anything to say. I know there isn't a lot
(26:49):
of context here, but I hope hopefully you can give
some advice. I'm wondering did he how did he how
did you find out on the first one?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Did you say that? I don't think so. She said
it was an old relationship though. Okay, but I wonder that.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
One because the second one only stopped I think, right,
because she said she caught him.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah, so maybe she I don't know. Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well, first of all, I think it's always important to
validate your feelings. I don't know how I would ever
trust Jake again. Yeah, because he not only did it
to you, he did it to you after you gave
birth to his child, and you're going through the thick
of it, they say, and Colts actually talked about this.
Men are very It's bizarre how their mind works. I
(27:40):
think if they are emotionally a little immature. And what
I mean by that is some men get almost jealous
of the attention that the babies are getting, and it's
hard to explain. And I don't think men even maybe
realize they're being like that, and so it's like they're
not getting any of their needs met. You would be like,
(28:00):
I'm exhausted, I'm taking care of a kid. Of course
I can't take care of you in this moment. But
I think it's like one of those maybe subconscious things
in a way. So maybe he was like, I'm not
offending him to I'm trying to think of like why
someone would do this to their partner if they love
them and they're having a child with them. Maybe that's
what was going on with him. So that's just like
maybe my initial thought. Now, if that was going on
(28:21):
with Jake, I'm a very man.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I don't know that I could ever ever trust Jake again.
Even a lot of couples go to therapy. So if
he really wants us to work, he should commit to
therapy and he should be finding someone to go to therapy.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Not yet.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You don't need to do the work to find a therapist.
He needs to do the work to find a therapist,
in my opinion, if he wants this to work, and
I would say the one thing I know from a
couple of my friends who have been cheated on, they've said,
and actually their mother in law told them because the
father had cheated on them too, and they gave advice
(28:59):
to her.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
You have to forgive them.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
If you're going to forgive them, and you have to
actually mean it, and you have to actually move on,
because if you can't move on and you can't like
I know, you'll never forget, But what they mean is
like if you actually forgive them, you can't bring it
up every time you get into an argument. You have
to actually because like you'll never move past it then.
And I think that that my friend was able to
(29:24):
do it and I was, and they had kids after
the fact, they didn't have kids at the time, they
had kids later they seemingly are like they're still together,
they're happy. So I know that you can get through it,
and lots of couples do.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I think every person's it's just I would be like
always wanted to search their stuff because it's like online
stuff that he's doing. Yeah, I agree fully with Fallen.
And I think anyone if you were asking for advice
from anyone else, and if anyone else was like, you
need to leave that person, obviously that's easier said and
than done if you're tied together him right, so many,
(30:01):
so many factors. I think the problem I would have
if I was in your shoes is that now it's
happened twice, and I think we had a therapist on
once and it was like you get cheated on and
you guys work it out and you build trust back together.
Basically that trust has to keep building and building and building,
(30:21):
and all of a sudden, if it's broken once again,
then you're just on guard all the time. So my
fear for you is that now this has happened twice,
you're going to be on guard. And how much harder
is he going to have to work to gain your
trust back again? And do you really think that you'll
ever get that or are you constantly going to be
nervous that you're going to find something new? And if
(30:43):
that's how you feel, then that's not a life to
live because that's not You deserve security in a relationship,
especially in a partnership that you have kids with someone.
But once again, it's easier said than done because you
do have kids with this person and you build a
life together.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
So it's like, well, what's going to be harder, like
maybe being on edge sometimes and wondering if he's going
to do it again or being a single mom and
divorced and you know what I mean, And so yeah,
I don't know, it's hard. Yes, he needs therapy. Yeah,
if you think that the relationship is something you want
to be in, still then work for it, but I
(31:19):
would struggle after like, yeah, I don't know. Also, like
I'll say, yes, what found said about men go through
things too, and stuff like has he been going through
something and then you weren't able to be there for
him in some way and once again not giving him
an excuse, no like whatsoever. But I don't know. It's
(31:41):
a very hard thing to give advice on because from
an outside perspective, none of us are in it. We're
not going through what you're going through.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Someone also was an expert on this once said, because
you know, they have that phrase, once a cheater, always
a cheater, and this always stuck out to me. She
was like, that's not true for a person, once a cheater,
always a cheater.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
She said.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
However, if they stay with the same person they cheated with,
like or cheated on, that's when they're more likely to
do it again because for some reasons, like they got
away with it once. But like that doesn't mean like
if they cheated on their current wife and they go
on and they get in a new relationship, that they're
going to cheat again. It's like it She was like,
(32:23):
that isn't necessarily the case. It's something about like because
they got away with it once. So I'm not trying
to like make things worse because I think every single
person or relationship is so different. It's really hard to
have a stereotype like.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
That, like on anyone, right, But I don't know. I
think that it.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Sucks that you have to work extremely hard to build
the trust back.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
That's what sucks.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
It sucks that, like you're raising three little kids and
you now have to worry about this on top of
everything else. So I'm just so sorry you're dealing with that. Yeah, okay,
let's see.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I've been loving your show and this week finally felt
inspired to write in after listening to the fiftieth episode.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
This is actually really helpful.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Because on the last episode we talked about weight loss,
and this will be our last email we do. I
wanted to share some info on my experience with the
GLP ones. You can share my name. At the start
of twenty twenty four, I decided this would be the
year of focusing on my health and needs so that
I could become the wife, mother, and most human I
wanted to be and feel good again. I started with
(33:28):
investing in decent skincare and working hard to actually develop
a routine for the first time ever. Then in March,
I met with a weight management doctor for context. I've
had weight issues my entire life. I can think back
as far as to second grade and hearing comments and
recognizing my body was larger than others. Fast forward to adulthood.
I've been over three hundred pounds for close to a decade.
Even through two pregnancies, my body would settle back into
(33:50):
the same five pounds span. It didn't matter how little
lay eight or the amount of food changes I put in.
Because of the lack of progress, I would give up.
And then suddenly life with children and supervisor role. I
was hyper focusing during my day, and then on the
way home I would realize I didn't eat all day
and I was starving. It was like either I was
thinking about food constantly or not at all. My doctor
(34:13):
explained to me the different GLP one options due to
discovering I had insulin resistance we govy with GOV tends
to be for the person that snacks all day and
just cannot stop, so it changes the way food tastes
so there is less of a dopamine hit. Ozepic works
to lower food noise and also appetite to avoid consistent overeating,
(34:33):
but also regulates the blood sugar to lower cravings for
things like high carb foods that the body is craving.
Zep Bound, the one I'm on, is for those that
binge eat due to the crashes of energy that happen
with insulin resistance. The way he put it is basically,
insulin resistance happens when fat gets invited to the party
and the door in is wide open, but then they
(34:54):
are trapped and can't leave. The body starts to use
food basically as it's consumed to fuel itself. Bound works
for the food noise and not overeating as well. Since
starting zet bound around May, I'm down thirty four pounds
and under three hundred pounds for the first time since
twenty sixteen. I have so much more energy, and I'm
able to make the healthy food choices I wanted so
badly to before but the need for immediate energy would
(35:16):
hijack me. The food noise is also quieter, so I'm
no longer looking to it for the dopamine hits. I
was also diagnosed with ADHD in July, and my medication
for that is likely also helping.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
But the scale.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Victories are tiny compared to the other ones. I have
energy again, and I love playing with my two toddlers
and running around. I'm so much less sore, act and bloated.
I am able to eat smaller meals intentionally throughout the
day that is protein package, so my energy is sustained
and I don't get a midday crash, but also have
developed a newfound enjoyment of healthy foods again. I wake
(35:48):
up well rested, something I don't think I've ever experienced.
My skin looks spectacular, and I'm falling back in love
with clothes my original dopamine addiction. These positives have almost
felt manic and euphoric at times, until I realized that
this is how most people feel and how one is
supposed to simply existing. Isn't supposed to be hard and
miserable anyways. I know this was long, but figured it
(36:10):
was worth sharing if it could share education around these
and connect with someone who's also been struggling. Thank you, Ashley,
that was like so helpful.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I was going to say, I had no idea. There
was such a difference between what go vio's and sorry
I forgot the last. Yeah, No, I literally had no
idea either interesting.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, So I think that that was really informational and
I really appreciate you taking the time to send that
in and I'm so happy for you that you're finding
all of this energy and what a true statement that
you shouldn't feel like miserable all the time. That's like,
it's not how you should feel. You can email us anytime,
Fallon at KATWB dot com or Jenny at KATWB dot
com and we love you so much.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Thank youstening every week
Hello, welcome to the I'm Still Fun Podcast. We are
in full fall, like I am loving sort of. I
think it's full fall this point. Well it's technically full
fall because it was fall on Sunday. Yeah, I was
gonna say we hit the first day of fall. Saturday
was like super hot, but yesterday was like my freaking
dream weather Sunday. Oh man, we went to the zoo.
(00:24):
I was thriving, just like, give me that cool breeze.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
See. And I was up at the north Shore, so
I didn't know what the weather was like down in
the cities, but I had heard it was like chilled.
And so when I got up for the show this morning,
I loved walking outside and I had a sweatshirt on,
and I was like, yes, because that was actually hot
when you leave probably probably, And it is supposed to
be like eighties this week, or like low eighties. And
then so I'm like, God, why are we like not
getting any fall weather. It's going to be one of
(00:48):
those years where we get no fall weather.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
That to me, don't say it. I don't put it
in the universe anymore. I want to stop pull back.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I stopped like I was saying beatlesjuice three times for
a second that I don't like you. No, gosh, let's see.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I'm wearing a full white outfit. I just walked the
hallway and I forgot. Colt knows my personal life very well,
and he's like, he's your tsunami hit you know, the period.
I didn't think about that that I'm wearing a full
white outfit. So if the period tsunami hits me, then
that's not great. But I have one pill left my hormone,
my like period inducer. Tonight it's going to take and
(01:23):
then we'll see what happens. Will I get a period
before Italy?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I don't know. I still believe that you will. Hopefully
it'll come in the next like day or two, and
then hopefully it's just gonna like burst out of you.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I wish here's my dream it burst out of me,
not in this white outfit. And everything levels out emotionally
for me because I have been so irritable.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Give me an example, tell me something that Jake did
that pissed you off.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It's olive and I feel so bad. She to me,
is next level whiny this past weekend, and I was like,
I'm gonna snap. I'm going to like, I was so
frustrated by her, like everything she said. Yeah, I don't
even know if it was maybe it was her normal voice,
but to me it was like hey, And I was like,
(02:14):
and I don't want to be I don't want to
get on her twenty four to seven. She's not fun
for me. I don't want to be that kind of parent.
And Jake at one point was like, you should go
take a nap and I'll take her to do something.
I'm like, cool, cool, like I. And then it made
me feel guilty because I'm like, I want my I
want to spend my weekends with her. Yeah, but I
think it was better for her and for me to
have like an hour apart because and then we I
(02:36):
took her to get photos on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
She didn't listen to the girl at all. No, eighteen
minutes of photos, that's it. I think that the photographer,
who's my friend, she was like, no, kids are you
never know there? But I think she was literally like
she wanted to be over to wait.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So should it have been a longer session, is what
you're saying? Honestly? No, probably not. I was like eight
seems like enough time to get up photo.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Times you'll like, oh, let's change and stuff going well,
but she didn't need an outfit change. However, I do
feel like it was shorter than normal, and I was
completely I wanted it to be over too, and I
was just like I could because I you know, when
you're from other people, you can't be as stern as
you would like because you're afraid they'll be.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Like, oh my god. Yeah, so I'm like.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Sup on that chair like she asked you, or I'm
gonna So I should really look at parenting. It's really
sometimes just freaking exhausting. Obviously, I've never really thought about
that aspect of like you might already want to snap
because kids can drive you a little crazy, but then
to add in like the hormonal aspect of it of
like going through things like that, because like I should
(03:40):
have known the moment that I was ready to throat
punch Andrew because of the way he was eating. Now,
normally his eating does frustrate me, but this was on
like a new level a couple of weeks ago, and
I was like, this is just another factor of me
getting my period because I wanted to snap.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, I want to strangle him.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, Jake still will annoy me a little bit, but
he's he's better about reading the situation.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
With me than all of us at this point.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
So ha, But you were off Gallivanta, Yeah, on the
North Shore we were you took did you name your
We still haven't. I took a bunch of notes because
a lot of people commented when I had posted the
picture on Instagram of the van, and so I took
some notes of what people were saying. And Andrew's just
like not vibing with anything. He's being a piggy little
(04:28):
b word and I'm like, all right, let's just figure
something out.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So we don't have a name for her yet. I
keep calling it her. It feels like it's her to me,
but I don't know. So we'll see TBD on that. Yeah,
we went up to the North Shore. We've been up
there like a handful of times because Andrew's grandpa has
a cabin up there. So we had already had that
book before we ever got the van, and so people
were like, oh, you're doing the van life this weekend
and I'm like, no, not really, like we brought the
(04:51):
van with to have fun and like whatever. But we
did explore they're called wild campsites, so you go, you
can stay at these places for free. It could be
a spot along Lake Superior that's like a parking lot
you pull off at, or it could be in the
middle of nowhere and you drive on a dirt road
up to a path off of the road or something.
Scare me. Yeah, I mean, there's definitely things that seem
(05:13):
like they could be scary. But I've listened to a
lot of road like camper van podcasts and it's always women,
and it's like, don't you feel scared being in the
middle of nowhere by yourself? And like I feel more
safe than when I'm in like a city and there's
like a guy looking at me from a distance or
something like that, you know. So yeah, we kind of
just explored around, did some hiking and all that good stuff.
(05:35):
Saw some fall colors. It was lovely.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
But now that you witnessed it with your eyes, when
do you think will be the peak weekend next weekend
or the weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
After or the we after. It's hard to say because literally, no,
let me tell you what it did. Okay, between Friday
to Sunday, the color has changed so much already, But
like I don't know, like For me, it feels like
this coming weekend will be peak weekend, So like the
twenty eighth or something. I think this is Saturday. I
feel like that's going to be peak weekend. But then
I don't know, because they might go the next weekend
(06:04):
and change even more. But then at that point it
might start the leaves mice are falling. Yeah, so that's
where it's like, I don't know. It's kind of up
and the air. But also quite frankly, it gets so
busy during those weekends. It was already busy this past weekend,
and like luckily a lot of the things we do
are like more off the beaten path and stuff, so
we weren't at all the state. We didn't go to
(06:25):
any state parks this year. There was this time around.
We went to other hikes and stuff, and so it
was lovely. We did get to see some fall colors.
I'm happy we did not pay to go on the
gondola at Lutsyn. Randomly ran into Dave's daughter Allison and
their family and they had they had done it. We
ran into them on Saturday afternoon. They did it that
(06:46):
morning and she Allison was like, I thought it was
going to be like a little bit better, like the
colors weren't as good. And I saw other videos of
people that had gone on it over the weekend and
it seemed decent, but it's not. I don't know, it's
thirty dollars a person, and that's just like kind of
insane to me. Yeah, to know that you're like charging
people that much to go on a gondola ride that
lasts like a few minutes and yeah, you get to
(07:08):
take it back whatever. And I get it that I'm
not a mother, so I don't have kids, and that's
like a good fall activity probably to do with kids,
but for me, I'd rather go hike this hike that
I did.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
And I would argue, I don't know that's a good
activity that entertains your kids. For you said ten minutes, Well, yeah,
I mean price per entertainment ratio. Don't know that I
agree with that.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Well, so you go to one side of the mountain
and then you get off there or I guess you
probably could go round trip, just do it in one hole,
but most people like go off, get lunch at the
Shelle or like I had the views around there, and
then get back on and go back. So it's probably
longer than that. You can make it more of like
an hour experience, I think, if you choose to. But yeah,
I just think it's better to go out and see
(07:50):
the colors by foot then pay that kind of money
to see.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, I mean, obviously that is that portionous because you
don't have kids, right of might not even make it
high enough to elevation to see good leaves with a kid.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
But yeah, this hike I did, it was in my opinion,
pretty easy, and it was two point two miles total,
like it's a round circle trip. And I feel like,
I understand, you're right. I don't have kids, so I
don't know how long that they would last doing that,
though not every kids so different. I know I did
like a one mile out and back with Olive, and
I thought it would be easy. And it's the one
(08:24):
that Jake was like, let's let her to her own
and I literally was snapping the whole trip because she
they stop and look at Okay, oh here's a spider web.
Oh here's this. Oh here's that. My legs hurt?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
It is yeah, and less you have them in a
backpack or they're like a very unique kid who's like, yeah,
I love hiking for endless amounts of time. It can really,
it could really change the experience, even for like a
hike you think would be short and easy, breezy.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, I'm any that. Yeah. One thing I will say, though,
is we're in this convenience store. I'm grabbing butter. We
needed butter for something, and I don't know where Ange
is for a while. I find him. He's reading a book.
It says sex Intense is the title of the book. Okay,
and I'm like, okay, cool. Well, later that day, we're
hiking and we're like, let's go find this wild campsite
(09:11):
that's nearby, because you can use an app to do that.
It's called I Overlander. I've gotten lots of dms already
being like how do you do this and that and whatever?
So you look on there and we find the scamsite
nearby this hike, and we pull off into it, and
we did break the tent, the tent in the camper
van in You hadn't had sex in it yet, no,
because we've only drove to like, but you probably.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Would have already done it. I honestly soon you might
have done it in front of my house when you
parked it there.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I thought, no, no, we haven't. We did take it
up to Crosby that one week and we were there
over Labor Day weekend, but we were just like doing
lots of activities and we had a full airbnb to ourselves.
So it's like, oh, that poor airbnb, I know, trust me.
And they have like a ring camera right outside this
like patio door, and we'd have like the patio doors open,
so I'm like, oh, what did they see? Or it
wasn't ring, but it was some kind of security. So anyways,
(09:57):
we broke it in and then afterwards he was telling
me something he had learned from that book, and it
was that would tent sex or whatever kind, it's best
to actually like wear a condom so that there's not
as big of a mess situation. Okay, so that was interesting.
He's like, yeah, we could make like a fun thing
(10:17):
out of it, Like we could go before a big trip,
we could go to like a sex storing and get
like fun condoms. And I was like, what the fuck
does that mean? I Am not twenty one years old
and want this icy hot condom going inside? I mean,
you know what I mean, That's what he said. But yeah,
so that was interesting and honestly, we did it with
like everything open, Like the back doors were open, the
sliding door was open, the windows were open. Was it
(10:39):
was it like the time you had sex with the
cherry blossoms Jenny, Oh, not quite. It was better because
like there was the actual breeze. There were relieves. Yeah,
there were leaves waving at me as I was my gosh,
you know, getting my poundtown in. Yeah, that was one time. Like,
so we were just chilling in the back before this
all started, and I thought Andrew was like thinking I
(10:59):
was sleeping because I was just literally watching the leaves
blow in the wind. And I turn around and he's
got his eyes shut, and I was like, are you sleeping?
He goes, nah, I'm thinking about how I want to
blow that back out and whatever. And next thing I
look over, he's got a boner and I'm like, Jesus,
I thought you were like digging it. Naw, very different.
So then things escalated really quickly there, so geez. But yeah,
(11:23):
so it was a great weekend and we had fun.
And yeah, highly recommend going up there to see fall
colors and try to do it during the week if
you have the availability, because it is quite busy. On weekend.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
I told Jacob was like, I want to go, and
I say it every year and I was like, and
he goes the weekend, it's going to be the best
will be the weekend we're in Italy, which is not
next weekend. The weekend after I was like, you're probably right,
so yeah, so that never mind. I guess it's still
just really pretty.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Like even this past weekend, even though it's like I
would say thirty percent changing of colors right now, it
was still gorgeous. But what did you do all weekend?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
What was our anniversary? We had dinner, It was fine.
There was nothing exciting. Really, I'm trying to think we
did anything exciting. We really didn't. Yesterday we went to
the Zoos all the new baby tigers, which was cute.
But I don't know, not a ton. I think we're
trying to like just get time in. Last week was
a lot for me. I had like I had like
two different nights where after work I had something else
(12:19):
I had to do. Actually it might have been three nights.
So it was like wake up, go to the Jason Show,
go straight to the radio station, and then have yet
another work event after and I was been very hormonal
and very agitated, and I was exhausted last week and
I'm like questioning everything in my life because of it.
(12:40):
And I was like, this week I only have my
book club. But you know, I was like, so I
get torn with my book club because I love my
book club group so much, but since COVID, I just
don't have it pretty much at all anymore. Yeah, and
then I'll see them, like I'll like post like here
a free movie tickets for a movie we're doing, and
I see everyone, I'm like, oh my god, I love
(13:01):
seeing them so much. I got to host a book club,
but then like I don't. I was like, basically, so
I have it this Wednesday, and I'm so excited to
see them. But I'm like, I I can't keep doing this. Yeah,
because I and so, I said, I'm like moving forward.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh, I know.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
We had last week we went to a soccer game
with Jake's coworkers and they were lovely and it was fine,
app fun and.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Stuff all that. I was like, why are you at
a soccer game? I didn't realize that's because it was
Jake's coworkers.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
And he was like like, I want to go, please,
but they invited us. I'm like, of course, like Jake
always says yes to my work stuff, so I was like,
unless I'm getting paid for the rest of the year,
I'm saying no to everything on a weeknight, and even
some of the paid things I'm going to say no
to because I just I can't do it and stay sane.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
And it sinks because like they were, you know, we
have like the benefit of getting invited to some really
cool stuff. And like Tina went to like that restaurant
opening here in the West End, and I was going
to go, but I'm like, no, that'd be free nights
where I wouldn't see Olive. And that's the thing. If
I go have an event right after work, I don't
get to see her. So it's like it's just not
worth it to me. So as much as like I
(14:10):
love my book club ladies, I love my daughter more
and they know that, they like never guilt me or anything,
you know. So it's like and then I'm getting to
go on this trip to Italy, so i won't see
her for a week, which will be glorious like in
the regard of like just having adult time and getting
away and it's Italy Hello, but I don't know. So
(14:30):
I'm just I feel like very overwhelmed lately, and it's
it's me needing to like say no to things. And
I'm pretty good about that actually, but like, for instance,
they asked me to come into the Jason Show at
nine am. If I go in at nine am, I
can't do anything else. Nine am is like this weird
time where like I will no longer get to work
out because I have to choose do I work out
(14:53):
or do I see Olive. So I've said, hey, guys,
can I start coming in at nine thirty? That would
literally make an because then I could do an eight
am workout class, so then I can spend the morning
with all of take her to school and work out
and get to the show on time. And They're like,
oh my god, yes, I just had to ask. But
I think we like all get in our heads like
so afraid we're like inconveniencing someone they're gonna say no
(15:15):
or whatever. So I just I asked and they were like,
oh my god, absolutely, And they told me when I
took this job, take off any days you want, like
get in my head, and I get nervous to ask
for days off because I don't want to like inconvenience them.
But it's like, no, I need to start. I need
to start doing that more often for sure. So I
just need to do it. And like, like I started
to do this thing, like next week, all of has
(15:35):
a field trip and I'm like, well, i'd have to
miss the Jason Show.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
What am I doing? I don't care. I'm going to
miss the Jason Show so I can go on a
field trip with my daughter.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
So it's and I think people like ask me this
a lot. They're like, but then why are you doing both?
And it's like the show in general, the Jason Show
does not affect Now that I've stated, hey, I need
to like come in later, that won't actually affect my
time seeing her. So I just needed to get that
in order. And it's like good now. But I think
(16:04):
it's like it's just when I filled in last year.
It's different when you're filling in, you know when it's over, right,
So now I have to find the new routine the
same as I did when I moved afternoons. That was
really hard for me for a while to figure out
what my new routine was. So it's just change and
it's weird. And then when I started the Jason Show
in July, no consistency because we did the show for
(16:26):
a few weeks, then it was off for like a
month and it was like a couple of days with
a state fair. And then now I feel like I'm
figuring out for real what it's going to be like.
So it was just it's like anything. It's just I
have to find my routine. And but the fact that
I'm going through this weird hormonal thing at this time
is just not a good partnership, I guess.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
We'll see. Maybe I'll get my periods, you know, I may.
I'll be fine.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
You probably will. You're probably going to be like, Wow,
this is the entire reason I've been like this for
the last week or so.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
This is why if not if I am in the
and this is what it's like, Oh my god, And
I'm not even going through the hot flashes yet, Jenny,
can you imagine this plus the hot flashes?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Why why do we have to go through this? I
feel like I was such a naive person up until
a few months ago when I learned a little bit
more about menopause, and I don't know why, but I did.
And I just assume it was hot flashes and you
can't really sleep at night. I didn't realize what it
does to you, that it can make you be kind
of crazy because your hormones are all over the place
and all of this other stuff. And I'm like, great,
(17:28):
add that to the list of shit I already deal
with on top of anxiety and stuff. Oh you know what,
I was going to bring this up. So I think
when I had spoke about getting on medication for anxiety
and all that stuff, I had said for a while
I could not drink coffee, and I had stopped drinking
alcohol and all that stuff, and like slowly in the
last couple months, I have had like a glass of
(17:50):
wine here and there at like events, and so this
past weekend I was like, I don't know, I feel
like I've been feeling so much better. I'm going to
maybe try to get a little tipps, see, because why not.
Ange and I are had a cabin like we're on
a leg. Let's have a couple glasses of wine. And
it's like, I don't even know, I feel like I
a can't even get tipsy anymore, even though I had
(18:11):
like a cup. We went to this winery, I had
like a flight of wine, so it was probably like
a glass and a half about. And then I went
back and made dinner for us and cooked for a
little while, had like a glass of wine in between
all of that, and then I poured one more and
I was like, I don't really want this anymore. It's
like I don't really desire it sounds so fun to drink,
(18:36):
but then when I'm actually doing it, I don't really
care to do it much anymore, which I know is
like a sign of growing up and whatever. But I
just wanted to put it out there because I know
that obviously I was such a partier back in the day,
and I think it sounds wild to some people to
hear that, like I just don't drink anymore or whatever
it is. And I know there were some people who
also deal with anxiety who said that, yes, alcohol really
(18:57):
screws with them too. I will say the main thing
now is like it didn't screw with me feeling anxious
or anything. It does just mess up my sleep so badly, though,
Like I just couldn't really fall asleep because my heart
was racing a little bit more on Saturday night. Yeah,
sleep is so important. It's not, but it's nice to
know that after however many months it's been since I
(19:18):
think May was when I got on medication that I
am capable of drinking alcohol again to an extent. I
just don't really desire it so much, And coffee has
been a part of my routine again. After like a
month or so of getting on medication, I was able
to start drinking coffee again, which I'm happy about because
I just like love drinking coffee as like a little
(19:40):
treat me too stuff but me too. Also. I was
going to tell you so Google photos sometimes will pop
up a little notification and be like, look at this
album or look at these memories whatever. Well it was
one pops up on my screensavor and it says memories
of us, and it's a picture of me and you.
Oh god. It was just like, okay, like let me
(20:00):
see what it produced. So I took a screen grab
of the video to see like what it put together
of you and I, and I gotta find a quick
hole one. I just got to scroll back a little
bit because I was like, I gotta tell Falon about this.
Maybe we can use this as like our promotional thing
to promote the podcast for today. But of course now
I'm like probably not going to find it because I
want to looking for it. I will say I also
(20:22):
did put up what we're talking about, like kind of
fall things I have like a sub stack that I'm
horrible about updating, like a newsletter. And but there's a
link in my bio on my instagram fallon fal and
ktiewb if you want to go check it out. But
I put together like twenty fall recommendations. Some are super basic,
but I put like because there are like train rides
you can do to see the leaves. Yeah, I feel
(20:44):
like links her three of those.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
How to make your own pumpkin creamer thing at home,
a soup recipe that I recommend every year.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It's my favorite soup.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Just like a bunch of like Fall bucket list things.
If you're looking for something to check out, you can
go check out.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
How do you do it? Again? How do you find
that list?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
It's just in a link in my bio on my Instagram.
I put it up on my blog too, so I stopped.
We used to always do a weekend in five picks,
and I just stopped. I decided I'm going to start
posting them on mind cults Instagram, and it's weird. I
feel like I'm like going to get in trouble but
I'm not, and it's like, it's just weird.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
It's different now because social media is really more so
the go to than going to a website. It's just
it's different than what it used to be because we're
all used to be required to have so many blogs
a week and oh my god, it's just not the
thing our sales goal, like our digital goals at all. Yeah, Okay,
I found the video. Okay. The first picture that they
took was from us in the Pride parade like three
(21:41):
years ago. Okay, not like the best then it's us.
Oh that's a jingle ball years jingle ball and that
was one of my first another one from Booty Cruise
and Tina's in it.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Well, I think we're like fake laughing thing laughing. This
was New Year's Yes, New Year's Gosh. How do you
remember baby shower?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Yeah, this was when I pretended to be the father
of You're trying beautiful moment. Yeah, this was a random
thing we did on the show in the middle of winter.
Your wedding, which I love this picture. I got this
like as a Facebook memory yesterday I did too, I
actually got it. Yeah, this was you being a creeper.
That's a start crazy. Was a really unflattering photo of
(22:18):
both of us. I feel, h yeah, I might have
to like I'm probably gonna cut this down. And then
our podcast and then there's like a video of us
doing something for that was the Katie Perry thing. Yeah, funny,
but I was like, oh, what is it? What are
our memories together? And it's just it's wild sometimes seeing
the things from so long ago, because that one at
jingle Ball, I'm I think that was the first jingle
(22:38):
Ball I ever did. Okay, that would have been like
twenty seventeen or twenty sixteen or something. Yeah, so it's
like wow. And also I used to do my hair
like that all the time. I do like one side
curled and the other side like tucked behind. Oh okay
all the time. But I always think it's so weird
how long you've been on the Morning Show. I still
think it's been like five years, and you're like, it's
(22:59):
not at all. What is it now? It's it's been
over eight years, and technically with iHeart I'm coming up
on nine years in October because I was at City's
ninety seven for a while. Not a while, but a
little bit razy. I know. I feel like the show
has just changed so much over the years. So we
just had an event on Thursday last week and a
lot of people came up to me and they're like, wow,
you've really been through like a lot of changes on
(23:21):
that show, and I was like, I sure have. And
there's those people who like know that, But then there's
other people who come up to me and like, because
I was so behind the scenes when I started on
the show, people just don't realize that I've been a
part of it for a while, and they feel like
I've only basically been on air for the last year,
and I'm like, what, Well, no, I've been on the
show for like eight years.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And it was when it was me, Steve and Dave
you work on significantly last like on air because you
were in the other studio and they would forget to
turn your mic on all.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
The well I wasn't even set up for that at first,
and then then they winched it. Yeah, I like that
was kind of part of my deal. When I said
that when I had a offer in Buffalo. I said,
you guys are capable of having me on in that studio,
can you please like get engineering in to figure that
out and put me on instead of you guys just
talking to me through the mirror, because I felt like
(24:12):
you guys would literally ask me questions and I just
like sign language something to you yep all the time,
and I felt like, I don't know, I really wanted
my voice to be on the show, not to take
away from anything that you guys do, but like those
little things like I wanted to be able to speak
and use my voice. So that was kind of part
of the deal when I decided to stay and not
go to Buffalo, was that they would put my mic on.
(24:33):
But then, of course, because Dave is very routine, he'd
always forget. He'd still wave me into the studio for
certain things. I'm like, Dave, you can literally just hit
the on button and put me on. But yeah, but yeah,
I was very very behind the scenes for quite a while,
and everyone that's come on the show since me has
pretty much just immediately been on air quite a bit. Yeah,
(24:53):
So it was Drake, and then it was vont and
now von Dan Bailey and stuff, and so I don't know.
I feel like I get it. I can't expect everyone
to understand what my role was on the show. But
I get like a little bit hurt when someone's like,
doesn't think I've been part of the show barely at all,
and I'm like, no, I.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Decade, Yeah that's crazy. Yeah, we have a bunch of emails.
I think, did you get emails? I don't think in
the last week I have. Okay, I'll go through the
ones I have. I got a few. Well, one person
just told me to be careful with my ten day medication.
They said I was extremely crabby at the end of it.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
They also say it gives you a yeast infection, and
that did happen to me. But this one says, and
my best friend and I both got our periods two
days early this month, so it must be the moon
because you had period. Weird period too, all right. This
one says, Hey, Fallon and Jinny, Oh yeah, you weren't
on this. Please don't say my name. I'm a longtime
listener to katiewb and love you both. I love listening
(25:56):
to your podcast. I'm not sure if this is something
you'd be willing to read or discuss on the podcast.
I've been married for eight years and have three kids.
I caught my husband having two separate emotional affairs after
two of my three kids.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
One I was.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Seven months postpartum and the other when I was three
months postpartum. My husband swears he never met anyone, but
I don't know what to believe. I want to stay
because I love him and I don't want to split
up our family. But how do you think you can
get past the anger and hurt from these emotional affairs.
One he said he was just a it was just
a conversation with a woman he knew from his past.
(26:29):
And the other one was two months only ending because
I found out and threatened to leave. I feel so
conflicted every day because I do love him and want
to work on our marriage, we both do, but I
can't shake the feeling he's going to do this again.
I really value your guys' opinions on things you discuss
on the radio. I just wanted to know if you
had anything to say. I know there isn't a lot
(26:49):
of context here, but I hope hopefully you can give
some advice. I'm wondering did he how did he how
did you find out on the first one?
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Did you say that? I don't think so. She said
it was an old relationship though. Okay, but I wonder that.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
One because the second one only stopped I think, right,
because she said she caught him.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah, so maybe she I don't know. Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well, first of all, I think it's always important to
validate your feelings. I don't know how I would ever
trust Jake again. Yeah, because he not only did it
to you, he did it to you after you gave
birth to his child, and you're going through the thick
of it, they say, and Colts actually talked about this.
Men are very It's bizarre how their mind works. I
(27:40):
think if they are emotionally a little immature. And what
I mean by that is some men get almost jealous
of the attention that the babies are getting, and it's
hard to explain. And I don't think men even maybe
realize they're being like that, and so it's like they're
not getting any of their needs met. You would be like,
(28:00):
I'm exhausted, I'm taking care of a kid. Of course
I can't take care of you in this moment. But
I think it's like one of those maybe subconscious things
in a way. So maybe he was like, I'm not
offending him to I'm trying to think of like why
someone would do this to their partner if they love
them and they're having a child with them. Maybe that's
what was going on with him. So that's just like
maybe my initial thought. Now, if that was going on
(28:21):
with Jake, I'm a very man.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I don't know that I could ever ever trust Jake again.
Even a lot of couples go to therapy. So if
he really wants us to work, he should commit to
therapy and he should be finding someone to go to therapy.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Not yet.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You don't need to do the work to find a therapist.
He needs to do the work to find a therapist,
in my opinion, if he wants this to work, and
I would say the one thing I know from a
couple of my friends who have been cheated on, they've said,
and actually their mother in law told them because the
father had cheated on them too, and they gave advice
(28:59):
to her.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
You have to forgive them.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
If you're going to forgive them, and you have to
actually mean it, and you have to actually move on,
because if you can't move on and you can't like
I know, you'll never forget, But what they mean is
like if you actually forgive them, you can't bring it
up every time you get into an argument. You have
to actually because like you'll never move past it then.
And I think that that my friend was able to
(29:24):
do it and I was, and they had kids after
the fact, they didn't have kids at the time, they
had kids later they seemingly are like they're still together,
they're happy. So I know that you can get through it,
and lots of couples do.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
I think every person's it's just I would be like
always wanted to search their stuff because it's like online
stuff that he's doing. Yeah, I agree fully with Fallen.
And I think anyone if you were asking for advice
from anyone else, and if anyone else was like, you
need to leave that person, obviously that's easier said and
than done if you're tied together him right, so many,
(30:01):
so many factors. I think the problem I would have
if I was in your shoes is that now it's
happened twice, and I think we had a therapist on
once and it was like you get cheated on and
you guys work it out and you build trust back together.
Basically that trust has to keep building and building and building,
(30:21):
and all of a sudden, if it's broken once again,
then you're just on guard all the time. So my
fear for you is that now this has happened twice,
you're going to be on guard. And how much harder
is he going to have to work to gain your
trust back again? And do you really think that you'll
ever get that or are you constantly going to be
nervous that you're going to find something new? And if
(30:43):
that's how you feel, then that's not a life to
live because that's not You deserve security in a relationship,
especially in a partnership that you have kids with someone.
But once again, it's easier said than done because you
do have kids with this person and you build a
life together.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
So it's like, well, what's going to be harder, like
maybe being on edge sometimes and wondering if he's going
to do it again or being a single mom and
divorced and you know what I mean, And so yeah,
I don't know, it's hard. Yes, he needs therapy. Yeah,
if you think that the relationship is something you want
to be in, still then work for it, but I
(31:19):
would struggle after like, yeah, I don't know. Also, like
I'll say, yes, what found said about men go through
things too, and stuff like has he been going through
something and then you weren't able to be there for
him in some way and once again not giving him
an excuse, no like whatsoever. But I don't know. It's
(31:41):
a very hard thing to give advice on because from
an outside perspective, none of us are in it. We're
not going through what you're going through.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Someone also was an expert on this once said, because
you know, they have that phrase, once a cheater, always
a cheater, and this always stuck out to me. She
was like, that's not true for a person, once a cheater,
always a cheater.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
She said.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
However, if they stay with the same person they cheated with,
like or cheated on, that's when they're more likely to
do it again because for some reasons, like they got
away with it once. But like that doesn't mean like
if they cheated on their current wife and they go
on and they get in a new relationship, that they're
going to cheat again. It's like it She was like,
(32:23):
that isn't necessarily the case. It's something about like because
they got away with it once. So I'm not trying
to like make things worse because I think every single
person or relationship is so different. It's really hard to
have a stereotype like.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
That, like on anyone, right, But I don't know. I
think that it.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Sucks that you have to work extremely hard to build
the trust back.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
That's what sucks.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
It sucks that, like you're raising three little kids and
you now have to worry about this on top of
everything else. So I'm just so sorry you're dealing with that. Yeah, okay,
let's see.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
I've been loving your show and this week finally felt
inspired to write in after listening to the fiftieth episode.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
This is actually really helpful.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
Because on the last episode we talked about weight loss,
and this will be our last email we do. I
wanted to share some info on my experience with the
GLP ones. You can share my name. At the start
of twenty twenty four, I decided this would be the
year of focusing on my health and needs so that
I could become the wife, mother, and most human I
wanted to be and feel good again. I started with
(33:28):
investing in decent skincare and working hard to actually develop
a routine for the first time ever. Then in March,
I met with a weight management doctor for context. I've
had weight issues my entire life. I can think back
as far as to second grade and hearing comments and
recognizing my body was larger than others. Fast forward to adulthood.
I've been over three hundred pounds for close to a decade.
Even through two pregnancies, my body would settle back into
(33:50):
the same five pounds span. It didn't matter how little
lay eight or the amount of food changes I put in.
Because of the lack of progress, I would give up.
And then suddenly life with children and supervisor role. I
was hyper focusing during my day, and then on the
way home I would realize I didn't eat all day
and I was starving. It was like either I was
thinking about food constantly or not at all. My doctor
(34:13):
explained to me the different GLP one options due to
discovering I had insulin resistance we govy with GOV tends
to be for the person that snacks all day and
just cannot stop, so it changes the way food tastes
so there is less of a dopamine hit. Ozepic works
to lower food noise and also appetite to avoid consistent overeating,
(34:33):
but also regulates the blood sugar to lower cravings for
things like high carb foods that the body is craving.
Zep Bound, the one I'm on, is for those that
binge eat due to the crashes of energy that happen
with insulin resistance. The way he put it is basically,
insulin resistance happens when fat gets invited to the party
and the door in is wide open, but then they
(34:54):
are trapped and can't leave. The body starts to use
food basically as it's consumed to fuel itself. Bound works
for the food noise and not overeating as well. Since
starting zet bound around May, I'm down thirty four pounds
and under three hundred pounds for the first time since
twenty sixteen. I have so much more energy, and I'm
able to make the healthy food choices I wanted so
badly to before but the need for immediate energy would
(35:16):
hijack me. The food noise is also quieter, so I'm
no longer looking to it for the dopamine hits. I
was also diagnosed with ADHD in July, and my medication
for that is likely also helping.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
But the scale.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Victories are tiny compared to the other ones. I have
energy again, and I love playing with my two toddlers
and running around. I'm so much less sore, act and bloated.
I am able to eat smaller meals intentionally throughout the
day that is protein package, so my energy is sustained
and I don't get a midday crash, but also have
developed a newfound enjoyment of healthy foods again. I wake
(35:48):
up well rested, something I don't think I've ever experienced.
My skin looks spectacular, and I'm falling back in love
with clothes my original dopamine addiction. These positives have almost
felt manic and euphoric at times, until I realized that
this is how most people feel and how one is
supposed to simply existing. Isn't supposed to be hard and
miserable anyways. I know this was long, but figured it
(36:10):
was worth sharing if it could share education around these
and connect with someone who's also been struggling. Thank you, Ashley,
that was like so helpful.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I was going to say, I had no idea. There
was such a difference between what go vio's and sorry
I forgot the last. Yeah, No, I literally had no
idea either interesting.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
Yeah, So I think that that was really informational and
I really appreciate you taking the time to send that
in and I'm so happy for you that you're finding
all of this energy and what a true statement that
you shouldn't feel like miserable all the time. That's like,
it's not how you should feel. You can email us anytime,
Fallon at KATWB dot com or Jenny at KATWB dot
com and we love you so much.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Thank youstening every week
