Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
I'm ready. I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready. Isn't that
SpongeBob AJR? Well it's SpongeBob, but Ajar sampled it in
the song they had. Did you know that? No? Yeah,
I'm ready. How's it go? N this? Quick? Quick? Quick?
I'm ready, Amory. Why oh, by the way, someone told

(00:21):
me last week, you're always dramatically quieter than me because voice.
Oh my god, I I think, well, I have our
microphones at the same level, but I'm going to turn
yours up a little bit. I think I'm just read
what do I What do I got about the thame?
It never looks different different, so because you usually you
can look at the audio wave like and you'll be like, oh,

(00:43):
that looks quieter, but ours look pretty consistently the same.
But I'm going to just turn you up just in case.
If you could maybe do what you're not paid to
do for this podcast, which is Projectbeak project give the
people what they want and need to do that. This
is the podcast. This is the situation. You know, when
you get home after a long day of work, take

(01:05):
your broth, you kick your feet back, scrollly scroll on
your phone for hours. He's scrolly scrolling right now, having
a good time chatting with my friend. Okay, I see that,
I'm I'm Southern Nile. I did notice that, and it
was one of your best accents you've ever done. Honestly,
it's the only accent I can do. So that is
why excel in it, you really do. You really are
exceptional at your southern accent. Congratulations Dylan my steps and

(01:28):
has all of saying, hey, big debt. So she called Jake.
She's like, hey, big debt, and we'll all laugh hysterically
like all the dime. It's so weird. Okay, this is
a really random question, but I have to ask it
because we talked about something on the show today. Have
you ever cut Olive's hair personally? No? Just has she
ever had a haircut? Sorry? Oh I didn't think she

(01:49):
had Yeah, because there was some question about when girls
should get their haircut and stuff, and I was like,
I don't think Olives ever had her haircut, but I
don't know. She's had two haircuts. She had like it
was so long, and so we had Hannah, Jake's sister,
do like a small like cut with a few inches,
but she was terrifying that kind of cut. Her ringlets off,
which was a sad moment for me, but then actually

(02:09):
recently it's a nightmare. She has super thick hair and
since it's kind of like wavy curly, gets even more gnarly.
And so I actually got like six more inches cut
off recently and it still looks super long. So yeah,
it is, it is. But yeah, I was like, the
good first hair and move on, move on, first haircut.
It's fine. So how you guys went to a fair
this weekend and you didn't invite me? So, Ginny, you're

(02:31):
always too busy, You're not. That was very nice. I
would have liked to go on the little elephant ride
with all of I guess I that's my apologies. Then, Jenny,
when I, uh, when I do ask you to do
something last minute, you actually say yes. I'm highly surprised.
You're a very busy person. I am sort of yeah,
but I'm also just like a little bit lamer. Now,

(02:53):
yeah I'm not. I'm still fun exactly good tie in.
But we did what this is like our third year
going to car County Fair and it's honestly perfection. It's
like the perfect fair because the Minnesota State Fair is
so massive, this one easy to walk to everything you get,
all the things you get, the baby animals you get,
the carnies you get, the like all the great food.

(03:14):
It's just easy, breezy, and we discovered we went Sunday morning,
which was the last day of the fair. It was
like the weather this weekend was so weird, so it
was actually kind of cool. I was like, dude, if
the weather is like this for the Minnesota State Fair,
I won't be miserable. I don't think. I feel like
it was kind of chill. Last year it had moments.
It was our new booth is pretty good at coverage,

(03:36):
which is nice. Yep, because we don't like with the
morning show, we would always stand outside of the booth
in the blazing sun for hours, and I mean, I
have some of the sweatiest, most disgusting memories of the
Minnesota State Fair. But yeah, last year we had a
booth change. We're like basically connected to the Kfan booth

(03:57):
and so while we were actually doing our show, we
were covered and then we'd kind of lean out of
the booth or sometimes step on the other side to
get pictures with people. It was the last year was
like the worst date fair of my life, like I
put my dog down, Like the first day of the
State Fair, it was the most miserable experience to go

(04:18):
out and work and act happy every single day. So
I'm actually looking forward to this year if we could
have some of that weather. Yeah, Like Friday was so
weird because Jake and I I booked a rooftop over
at the rive Terras like four seasons for his birthday gathering,
just me and him birthday date. Who knew it would
be so windy and chilly. We had to have blankets,
our cups were nearly flying away. But I was like

(04:40):
I do It was still fine. We had a good time,
but I was like, I do wish that it would
be nice. Yeah, but I'm curious if we're going to
get a lot of rain. Since we had so much
rain this year, I wonder if it'll continue over the
State Fair. I don't know. I don't know. I've I
feel like I've been pretty lucky because we've had different
booths practically every couple of years that I've went. Yeah,

(05:00):
So the one that was like over on the other
side of the bridge that was like the big purple
box thing whatever it was, Purple box where it was
like a purple Are you talking about the one two
years ago or the Okay, so this would have been
back in twenty seventeen. Okay, maybe it was purple. I
don't know what my head I thought it was like
reddish color bred. It very well could have been purple.

(05:21):
The one that we had to like you had to
climb a ladder to get up to our actual Yeah
that one. Okay, that one I remember having like a
couple shifts out there where I just broadcast by myself
and it was pretty hot. Yeah. But then I feel
like I don't remember too many other times where I've
been like sweaty, sweaty, I mean, were like jeans and
a tank top and been comfortable pretty much. Every time
I feel like I look the I look fondly on

(05:42):
that booth the most. For me, I think if you're
if you're older Katie WB like Dave and Steve O
and stuff, I bet that they would look more fondly
on the one that was by the Haunted House. Oh okay,
but I did. I never worked the Haunted House. Yeah.
They even say. The dumbest thing that this day, one
of the dumbest things the station ever did was give
up that spot because it was like they say, prime location.

(06:04):
I have no idea what happened why they gave it up.
So my first one, yes, was on the other side
of the bridge almost basically just the other side of
the bridge from Kfan. It's like it was like right
under that little thing. Yeah, and I have the fondest
memories of that because it's like my very beginning morning
show days. The crowd, like the crowd from the fair
was always huge. We were just blazing in the sun

(06:28):
on like a blacktop stage. But even though it was
miserably hot, I feel like the actual like fan interaction
was great. Then we moved to the Circle one right
by the carousel, and to me, that was the lamest
setup we've ever had. Well, yeah, I feel like it
was weird. Right on a main road. It was almost
like we were hidden. Yes, it was bizarre. It was

(06:50):
like people didn't couldn't see us. And then we didn't
have a normal looking stage. It was like this bid
as well, not even had a stay. It was bizarre.
So this new location is nice because there's like kind
of like it's almost like built. What I loved about
K Fan they have freaking bleachers, they have a built
in audience. I mean, they have a huge fan base.

(07:11):
They have freaking bleachers so people sit and watch them.
I'm like, I wish they put bleachers on the other side.
There are a few little benches, but it like gives
you a built in audience, which makes it feel less weird.
But I do like this new location me too. And
it's pretty much right next to like the one yeah
by the carousel. They've all been yeah, like close to

(07:32):
each other, the three that I've been at. So I'm
there seven days. I'm there every weekday except for Labor Day,
and I'm there two until six, and then I am
doing the Jason Show, but only the first day of
the fair and the last Friday of the fair, and
he's doing two hours out there. My two shifts, I'm
only doing an hour, So those two days are going

(07:55):
to be chaotic. Yeah, And then I do like one
Treasure Island one hour appearance, like one to to on
like the twenty eighth or something nice, so I will
be I think the thing is is most people in
media don't love the fair. Yeah, well it's just it's
fun to an extent, but like everyone else loves the
fair to go out there and have a good time.

(08:15):
But like, I've only lived in Minnesota long enough to
basically only be there to work. Yes, so I've never
I went one time in college with a roommate and
her family, but I didn't understand the concept of the
Minnesota stay here. Back then, I had no money, so
I wasn't spending any money, and I think her parents
bought me like a corn on the cop Yeah, and
that was pretty much it. And so I only like

(08:37):
kind of associated it as work, yes, and I still
enjoy Like most times I'll hang out like one shift
afterwards and meet up with Andrew, because Andrew would spend
every day out there if if he was available to.
But he's usually out there at some point where we
just like meet up after a shift and then hang out.
But I am going to also be there a few days,
not as many as Fallin the first Saturday, we are

(08:59):
always out there with the morning show. Our shift is
ten to three. I'm actually only going to be there
noon to three because i have a wedding in Wisconsin
on Friday night, So I'm going to be going to
Wisconsin Friday after the show, going to a wedding, getting
up real early, driving back and going to be at
the fair at noon, and then we're all out there
the second Thursday, the morning show eleven to one pm,

(09:23):
and then I'll be there on Labor Day three to
six pm. So one other thing I would say is like,
I feel like when you complain about something that I
never like. It's not like we don't enjoy seeing and
meeting people. Yeah, I think a lot of people that
work the fair, though they're making extra money, we are not.
So it's like basically spending extra gas, like doubling all

(09:47):
of our drive times to work, being in the blazing
sun and we're you know, we're porcelain skinned, little innocence here.
We're used to the ac And then the one other
really bizarre thing. This is kind of like a look
on the inside. So you're at the fair and you
have people looking at you, but you have to remember
you're not really there to entertain people at the fair

(10:10):
because the majority of your audience is listening, not at
the fairy. So you have to walk this balance of
like being live and local. We're at the State Fair,
which is what everyone's talking about, but we can't just
entertain people here. And I'm sorry, I don't think anyone's
show is as good live as when they're in the studio.
So it's like, I don't know, I always go back

(10:32):
and forth, like I like, it makes sense to meet
a bunch of people, but your bigger audience is not there,
so it's it's a very weird thing. But you have
you kind of have to be there, so it's just well,
we have to be there. So that's just how it goes,
for sure. And then like we go through like the
T shirt design process, which is what we're going through now,

(10:53):
and yeah, so but I mean again, I will get
to hang out with Colt at the fair and eat
junk food and the hopefully mostly just nice people, so
it could be a lot worse for sure. For sure,
I really do. I Yeah, I like going out there.
I think for me, I just it's it's always been

(11:14):
a long marathon because I still like bounce out there
every day and it's a lot, but it's at least
during her shift, whereas everything that I'm doing is outside
of what I'm already working for the week, and usually
I'm out there the first Saturday and Sunday, and this
year I got scheduled for like labor day weekend instead,
So now it's like, yeah, it's kind of like I'd

(11:35):
rather just have that first Saturday and Sunday to get
those shifts done with and then like the next weekend
to myself. But you know whatever, we just got to
get through it and then September will be here and yeah, summers.
I love the fall, me too, I do too. I
really this summer has been great in my opinion. I
actually do think it's been pretty great. It hasn't been
obnoxiously hot. I've been loving these like random kind of days.

(11:57):
And I also feel like, because of what my personality is,
when it's been raining, I feel like cool. I can
slow down for a second, because in the summer I
feel not great about myself when it's a beautiful day
and I'm like, I'm gonna go take a two hour
and nap because I'm tired or whatever from the morning show,
and then I feel really shitty about myself because I
just wasted a beautiful afternoon I could have been doing

(12:18):
something outside or whatever. My old lady joy comes from.
All of the rain has just made my flowers pop. Yeah, girl,
they pop in and I am loving it. So it's
been lovely what else you had a bachelorette party? This
same did. It was the most mature bachelor party I've
ever been at. Oh yeah, a lot of dicks. Then no,

(12:40):
there was one huge pink dill though that was given
to the bride, and that was about it. I did put.
I did take pictures of it on the my friend's
dog on his head. What the hell, Jenny. I tried
to get a stick and Bear was like not having it,
so I was like whatever, uh, And then yeah, we
just did like a little fun tea party. It was cute.

(13:00):
We had lots of little like small tea food, like
appetizer sides, food and stuff. We had so much food.
The plan was to do like the tea party. It
was like a full day of events on Saturday, and
then a kind of a spa headicure situation during the
afternoon and hang by the pool, and then at night
we're going to order pizza, play games. We had so
much food left over, like we did not need to

(13:21):
order pizza, which was great because that's like one last
thing we're spending money. I was sure. But it was
only like a group of like seven of us, so
it was small enough that I feel like it was
fun and easy and whatever, and I don't know, I
just liked it. We didn't go out to bars or anything.
Like cocktails and drinks were consumed throughout the day, but
nobody got like hammered or anything. And yeah, it was

(13:44):
a good time. It felt like a very mature bachelorette party.
That's nice. Actually, Yeah, And like, honestly, I don't know
the last couple ones I've gone to that were destination ones.
They were by no means like out of control, but
it was still us like bar hopping or like into loom.
We were at a beach club all day, drinking and stuff,
and it was just nice to have like a solid

(14:05):
place that we stayed at. And one of the girls
is just she lives in a beautiful apartment that has
like a terrace area. We could set up the tea
party and there's a pool and all that was like
built in already, so we didn't have to go like
pay for a nice airbnb or or anything. So yeah,
it was super fun. We had one funny thing happened.
We went to go take pictures by the river because

(14:25):
we were right in the North Group area and we're
taking these pictures, we bought. We brought a stand like
this big stand and everything with us so that we
didn't you know, we didn't know if we'd have anyone
to take pictures. Well, these three kids, and I say
kids because they literally looked like they were like fresh
twenty one twenty two year old. Yeah, they come scooting
buy on like some lime scooters and they're like hey,
like woo, happy bachelor whatever. And then they're like, wait,

(14:47):
can we help or something, and they came over and
they wanted to You could tell they were like trying
to hit on us. And I probably thought that we
were like going to be some wild bachelorette party and
that just like wasn't the vibe. None of the girls
are single except for one of them, and so we
all just sat there. And we also had a Polaroid
camera that prints the pictures right away, so we were like, hey,
can you take those, like we could use some help

(15:09):
because we want pictures with that and we couldn't set
that on the selfie stand thing. And so they took
some pictures and then they're like, well, we got to
get it in one and whatever, and then we're like,
you guys should take a picture of yourself and put
your number on it and give it out to people
at the bar. And they're like, oh, yeah, that's a
really good idea. And so then they leave and like
seconds later, one of them comes back. He's like, hey,
does one of you guys have a pen? And we're

(15:29):
like no. And I was like it was like his
attempt to try to like put his number and give
it back to us and whatever. And it was just
so funny because their game was so weak. Yep, it
was just not strong. And I could tell that they
weren't local to the North Lup area because they were
like rolling around on scooters. When we asked them, like, oh,
what are you guys up to, like going out partying
tonight or something, They're like, oh yeah, like we'll probably

(15:49):
go or we're going to go out. We're like, well,
what bar are you guys going to go to? And
they're like, oh, just whatever bar. And I was like,
you guys are not from around. I was getting the
vibe that they were in the city for maybe the
Vikings game or something pay and they were trying to
figure out what was next. But really they felt like
a little more like maybe they live in a suburb
or a small trye and so seeing a bachelorette party

(16:09):
was like the highlight of their afternoon, Whereas like I
was like, I don't know, this is a pretty normal thing.
I feel like if you're in the city to see
my bachelorette party, but like things like that happen and whatever.
But yeah, so it was good. It was fun. And
then I got weddings coming up the next couple of weekends. Yea,
and yeah, just a pretty packed August for me. I

(16:30):
got the thing that like, it's crazy because I'm on
like kind of the other end of the spectrum. The
only friends that like right now I have that I
could see like me even going to a bachelorette party
in the near five year plan would be my friend Abby,
who's my age. She's never been married, and it would

(16:51):
be super small and I don't it would not be crazy.
She would probably want to get drunk, but I don't
think it'd be crazy. Tina, yep, and putent you. But
that's if you want to get married. I know you've
like you're that's not your goal in life. Not saying
that's Abby and Tina's goal, but like they I think
they're more on that path than you. Are, so I

(17:11):
can't think of any anyone else. I think yours would
be kind of the craziest. But also Tina's friend group
they go hard with parties. I will be worried about
about Tina's because I don't want to be lame and
ditch out, because like she is one of my best friends. Yeah,
but I also will be worried, But I was gonna
say I think Tina's would be crazier. The funny thing

(17:32):
is we had a conversation at this bachelrett party, me
in one of the girls, and I was She was
just asking me where I was at with like marriage
and all this stuff, and I was like, I just
this just isn't like something I foresee myself doing. Not
not getting married, just like doing all the parties and
the bridal shower, in the wedding and whatever. That's like
just not really in my realm of ideas of if

(17:54):
I decided to get married. And she's like, well, you
wouldn't at least want to have a bachelorette. I go,
I mean, that's the one thing I would maybe want
to do. But the thing is, is what I would
want to do for a bacheorette. None of you guys
would want to do it, and she's like, what do
you mean? I was like, I would want to go
climb to the top of a mountain, Like that's what
I would want to do. Like I don't want to
go rent a party bus and get hand like that's
not like I just feel like we always do obviously

(18:17):
what the brides into what they're interested in doing, and
like at this point in my life, I'm not into
that kind of party phase, Jenny. I would go. I
just don't know if I could hike as far as you,
but I would, but I like it. It's I always
think they have you sent memes lately that are like
just so you know, have you seen them about hiking?
I don't know, I can't remember what the phrasing is,
but it's in the line lines of like going out

(18:38):
and like living your life doesn't have to involve a
hike or something makes me laugh. I'm like, oh, I
feel like I'm falling into that now, Like I enjoy
doing kind of stuff like that a little bit more.
I think that, like, but we didn't grow up experiences
and stuff like that, and so I think, yes, you
can say social media causes people to do things just

(18:58):
for like social mediases, but social media also has taught
me things, and like I've gone and done things because
of social media, so then yeah, I'm posting about it too.
But like I didn't grow up around hiking and mountains
and all these outdoor activities, and now that I discover them,
I am hype to do them. And it's not just
because I want to post something on social media. It's
like what brings me so much joy. I will say that,

(19:21):
like at this bachelorette party, I feel like I started
having a little bit of an internal struggle with my age.
I guess you could say, so the girl who's getting
married thirty and I'm thirty four now, and then like
it was a range of like twenty eight to like
thirty six year olds that were there, and I just
feel like, even though I'm like very okay with where

(19:44):
I'm at in life, there's part of me that feels
like I'm behind almost because all of my friends are
married and are engaged and are having kids or whatever
it is. And maybe behind is not the right word,
but I started just like really thinking about my age,
and like in my twenties, yeah, I understood I was
getting older. And stuff, But like I just feel like

(20:06):
I was like allowed to do whatever I wanted in
my twenties and now there's like the societal standard of like, well,
I'm in my thirties, so and not to beat this
into the ground, because I think everyone talks about this
a lot with women and thinking that you have to
have kids by this age or whatever it is. In biologically, yes,
there is an age you kind of have to have
kids by. But I feel like I like can't do
things that i'd want to in my twenties, and not

(20:27):
that I want to party, but I feel like I'm
just expected so many things, like my friend asking me
when they very much know I don't really care about marriage,
but they're like, well, where are you guys at and stuff,
almost like surprise still that we're not at the point
where we're, oh, we need to get married or whatever.
So I feel like I just started really like thinking
about my age, and then it got brought up because

(20:48):
one of the girls is thirty six. How like it's
a weird feeling to be closer to forty than thirty. Yeah,
And I don't know, I think I got in my
head a little bit over the weekend. Then about just
like getting older, and I haven't really thought too much
about that, and like recently, I guess, but I did.
I started feeling it. And also like one of the
girls had just gone ring shopping before the Bacherette party

(21:10):
and she's been with her partner for a year and
a half and she's like four years younger than me,
And I'm like, I don't know. It's just wild how
you feel about things even though you know deep down
what you want. Yeah, like I don't want or I
should say, I don't need a marriage, I don't need
these things. Do I want it someday? Maybe? Right? But

(21:32):
I feel like I'm supposed to need and want these
things because of everyone else around me. It's not even
just I know we joke about the biological clock, but
it's true. It's a real thing that you can't even
explain it. I'm sure that I think it's a combination
of the outside, but there is something like and my
dad said this, which he's not philosophical by any means,

(21:54):
but he I'm trying to think how I want to
word this, but he felt like I got married at
thirty because women do that. They feel like they have
to get married at thirty and I was like, that
is not true at all. I feel like I proved
his point by getting divorced pretty quickly after. He didn't
tell me that though. He told my mom that and

(22:15):
she told me later, and I was like, I never
went into that marriage once feeling like I was trying
to get something done by a certain age. That's like
I just didn't. But I do think that it is
not just kids where there's an actual scientific biological clock,
but like marriage, where there you can get married anytime

(22:36):
that doesn't affect anything in life. But I don't know.
I think that there's something deep within and I do think, yeah,
there are outside things you see and friends and everyone's
doing something different that also affect it. But I don't
think it's abnormal that you're feeling that, especially around this age,
because like you're literally hitting the age where it's considered

(22:57):
geriatric pregnancy, which is hellilarious and crazy. And that's just
crazy to me that at thirty four years old, that's
ary like you're thirty five, is geriatric pregnancy. Yeah, I think.
I don't know, it's just like an accumulation of things.
I feel like because you put your you put the
pressure on to be like at a certain place in

(23:18):
your career and you compare yourself to your friends and
the people you surround yourself with and stuff like that.
And then there's the fact that I literally have two
bad knees now, and I'm like, what is happening to me?
Nothing out that are older than you, And then you
always feel young. Well that's my super age advice. There's
like no part of me like I feel like you
and I are the same age. I don't even consider

(23:39):
you older at all, because I also feel like you
look younger than me. You don't as you do. You
have such a young looking face. Thank you, Yes you do.
And I just, yeah, I don't know. And that's that's
another thing. And this is very vain, but I'm just
I feel like when I look at myself in the mirror,
I'm really starting to realize, like, holy shit, I'm like
in my mid thirties. And yeah, you know, I still

(24:00):
think I look like I'm twenty seven and I don't.
And and Vont like he by no means did this
on purpose, but we were looking back at a video
that Tina and I had done back in the day
when we first were on the show together. And Vn's like,
oh my god, look at you. You look like such
a baby. And I was like, I still look like that,
don't I? But I don't. I really don't. Like I
can see the changes in like the maturity in my

(24:21):
face even though I get that young both too. But
you also like, look you look babyish also in those
videos because your face is fuller. Yeah you know what
I mean, Like we all lose like that little like
baby fat on our faces, except for me because I
have a round face, full life. But like if you'll
notice it, like you'll look at women and they still
look young and beautiful. That's why they get that Google fat.

(24:45):
It's called technical therm boogle, isn't that what's I have
no idea where they like they'll remove it from their
cheeks when they're younger because they want that sculpted look.
But then they're like, don't do that because when you're older,
you could have wish you had that. Okay now because
it probably has like the collagen in it that needs
to keep your eyes up and say yeah whatever, yeah
it is. Yeah, So but I think that like you

(25:06):
just I don't know. It's I don't think you look older,
but I get it. We all look at those because
we over examine our own faces and things and all
sit around with like moms all the time, right, And
I know I'm older than some of them, and some
of them will be older than me, and I will
be like, I don't look that age, right like I
think in my head, I'll be like, she looks like

(25:28):
a forty year old mom, but I don't look like
a forty year old mom right Like in my head,
I'm like crazy about it, and it's so stupid. Which,
by the way, this forty year old mom over here
got I got the official letter from all of his
teacher with like the school supply list and all that stuff.
Oh my gosh, my life is shifting. It's so bizarre,

(25:49):
that is wow. I had ordered all of it, got
her first backpack, like a legit backpack. Got like, I
ordered all the like crowns and markers and crap parent
teacher conferences to print off, like all of our background
check on the work on the work printer what up?
Because I'm not I'm a printer at home. Yeah, well
I do it. I doesn't have ink, so but yeah,

(26:10):
I trust me, Jenny when I say like, I'm like
how the f am I forty and I'm trying to
lean into like saying it yeah, because like I was
like weird about it, Like I don't I'm like, I
don't want to say I'm forty. I'm always afraid like
people like will think differently of me on the radio,
Like people who listen to me on the morning show
could put two and two together. There really is like

(26:32):
a large new audience in the afternoon show. And I
don't know, like it's a it's a mental game with
my job. I mean you could argue, like obviously I'm
not worried about the marriage kid portion of my age anymore.
But I think that everything you're feeling is very normal.
I think in that in the twenties, you like want

(26:54):
to get all these like accomplishments. I should have like
more money, I should have like this status, I should
have like this, And then I think your thirties is
where you're figuring out like the balance of actual life
of like Okay, maybe I'm still not exactly where I
want to be in my career, but I'm closer to it.
But then like am I having kids fast enough? Am

(27:15):
I having a husband? Am I doing like I think
that all those thoughts you're having are just so normal,
and you do start questioning yourself out at social events,
like do I belong here? Am I too old for this?
Is everyone thinking I'm the old woman at this party?
Or different things? Yeah? I know, and I think I
think I just like, I don't know, just multiple things
at this Bachelor I party kind of had me thinking
about that. But like like those kids coming up and

(27:37):
trying to hit on us, It's like, I just like,
I am in such a happy relationship, and but like
I feel like I shouldn't even be talking to these
like young kids, you know what I mean. Yeah, I'm like,
and then I think about I'm like, oh my gosh,
Like I feel like I was just young enough and
like when I was single obviously, but like to be
hanging out with someone even though they were kind of young.

(27:59):
But now I'm like, holy fuck, I feel like I'm
like twelve years older than these kids right practically if
they are like only twenty two, which is honestly what
they looked like to me. And so yeah, I don't know.
Just ages creeps up on you sometimes. It's been kind
of in the back of my head lately. There will
be like, but those moments that really like put like
a magnifying glass on. You're like, I don't what the

(28:20):
hell I was thinking. I'm like, for some reason, five
is just like such a big age to me for
all of and it's been making me like very emotional,
and so I was like, I think I'm gonna sit
down and I'm gonna like write something because like the
I don't know what it will be, but like the
outside like I don't know what I've learned or something

(28:43):
from a woman who never wanted kids kind of like
you know, I don't know, I don't know how I'm
gonna like phrase it, but it's almost like the things
I've learned about myself through being a mother of a
now like someone a kid who's turning five. Yeah, like
you could, I've made it through the newborn toddler face yep.

(29:05):
Like I don't know. It's it's so it's bizarre and
I but I think I'm gonna sit down and like
try to write that, and then I'll put it into
chap GPT and ask them to make it sound more
eloquent and then and then I'll share it. You're so
funny because you always think you're so bad at writing.
You have other people help you with things, but like,
you speak so well and like you here, and you
and your stories are so well spoken that I can't

(29:27):
imagine that it would not translate to writing if you
wanted to write something down. I'm not a good writer,
I like. I think the reason one of the reasons
I think I could like write like short little like
a little sonnet. Yeah, yeah, but I have. It was
really ingrained in me in college because they did so
many journalism classes to like remove all the flowery bullshit

(29:49):
and get to your point, keep it simple, stupid. So
I write sentences I feel like a child where I
mean Jason Mathison, I'll text them some He'll be like,
he'll like laugh at something I wrote, and I'm like,
and I in my head, I'm like, wait, did I
like write something wrong here? I'm so confused, and I'm like, no,
I think that I just I have a I have

(30:12):
removed the flowery ye things from my writing. Yeah, I
don't know. So I like, I had to write a
bio for the Fox website the other day. So I
wrote it all the way I would write it, and
then I did literally put it in chat GPT, and
I was like, make this sound more professional. Yeah, and
it was lovely. And I still made some tweaks when
it came out because it was like, that doesn't sound
like me. But for the most part was like, hell yeah,

(30:34):
Chat GPT. Change in lives, changing lives, changing our abilities
to creatively think sometimes. I know, honestly, I'm like, why
am I? Jake's like, and that's why they're taking our jobs.
I'm like, you're not wrong, You're not wrong at all, geez,
And I'm candying it over to chat GEP. Do you
here take my job? So we are getting close to time,

(30:55):
but I know, wasn't there something else that you know?
We can save it for next week? Yeah? All right, Well,
thanks for hanging out with us. If you are having
any of the feels about age and hitting the quote
unquote you know, societal milestones, you can always email us too,
and it's Jenny at KTWB dot com or Fallon at
KATIWB dot com. Yeah, but you have a great week. Yeah,
