Speaker 1 (00:00):
Anyway, Calyn, take it away, do a blog please, dear Bog.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Speaking of loving each other very much, I actually went
over to Paulina's house over the weekend to have a
little auntie time with baby Gigi, who is just beautiful
and her hair is getting so long.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
God, she's so pretty, thank you. So pretty.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
It's like it's not even normal how pretty she is.
But one thing about Paulina is she's gonna be on brand, okay,
and she has a lot going on at all times
inside of that brain and outside of that brain. She's
kind of like a beautiful little like tornado at all times.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
So I get over to her house.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Of course, I know I'm going to be greeted by Benzo,
who already you know he's my boy. No, I'm gonna
get a couple scratches on these legs, but I love him.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Say hi, he's excited.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
I'm not a toddler, so I know he's not gonna
hunt me, which is nice.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Yeah, only toddlers, only toddlers.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
So I get in there, we have the baby, and
then I go in the kitchen to drop something. There's
a random woman at the island who I'm just like, oh, hey,
I'm Caylin, and she's doing up some sort of plans
for your redoing something in your house.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah, I'm making a mudroom. So the one project I
want is a mudroom.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
When you walk in, so it's just organized. It looks good.
I bought something. Is it not fit?

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Because I do not measure? Ye're to redo this again. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
So there's a random woman I meet and then Pauline
is like, well, of course we had to go somewhere,
and she's like, of course, I'm not ready yet. So
here's the baby, and I'm like, good, I want this
baby immediately. Then we got one grandma coming over, beloved Marta,
who we all know. She comes on over. She's watching
the baby while we go. Then we got you know,
Hobvy in and out. It's like a revolving door over there.

(01:37):
We go to where we need to go, we come back.
We got another grandma and a sister in law that
comes over. We're swapping the baby. The grandmas are swapping.
Paulina's got another party to go to. She's just it's
just there's a lot of chaos going on in that
house at all times, and it was just happy to
see that, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
She's on brand. I can't tell if I would like
that or if I wouldn't like that. Like, sometimes I
think about what life would look like if I moved
to like more of a neighborhood, you know, and I
like knew my neighbors and and like people came and went,
and I, you know, I just wonder, like I've never
lived It's been twenty years, more than twenty years since
I've lived in the city where my family is. So

(02:16):
like my family is whoever I make. It's you guys,
it's friends or whatever, but like no one's stopping by.
I don't really know my neighbors very well because a
lot of them aren't there very often. I don't know.
It's just like what my grandfather, for example, they used
to live on a street in Peoria. And I've told
the story before, but he had a hegerator in his garage,
and all the neighbors had a garage door opener, or

(02:36):
he would just open the garage when he got home.
And if the garage door was opened, that meant come
over with your cup and get yeah. And so people
would just camp out in his driveway almost every day
and drink beer. And I just wonder sometimes like do
you ever do you ever want to like lock the
door and pretend like you're not in there so that
it's not you know, like an influx and outflux of people.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Honestly, not right now. I think because of baby and
because I know, like I want help and I need help.
I love it, but I feel like maybe one day
we'll get there when I'm gonna be like, all right,
door's closed, you know what I mean, shop is closed today.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Close side of.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
The door maybe, But right now I'm loving it, like
I want everyone to come in. My best friend Jonathan,
he's got the cause I have a code key thing
at my door.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
I don't have a lock. I have like oh yeah, right, yeah,
my friends over there.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
There's always twenty people a construction project, yes, you know,
and we're lifting around yes to the audience.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I don't my best friend, I'm like, just come in,
and so now he just comes into, right.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
I love it. There was It was a lot.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
It was a good chaos, but it was cute. And
I know your your mother in law slept there the
night before, but then she was back. We're trading the baby,
we're switching outfits.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
So like I was capable of being a very social person,
but sometimes I don't feel like talking now, And like
when I come sometimes I come in like almost every
morning when I walk into building here at the radio studio,
there's a guy and he's been at ball eye work
in security, and he wants to talk, okay, and he's
got a ton of energy and he wants to talk.
And I love him for that, and I'm super grateful

(04:02):
that he's so kind, but like I don't want to
talk to him, Like I'm not awake yet, i haven't
had any coffee. It's five o'clock in the morning, like
I'm not He yells at me, I'm not ready, and
a lot of times he pops up from the thing
scares me. That's why I take the backstairs. But again,
it's nothing personal. It's like there are just times in
my life like where I'm just not interested in And

(04:23):
like if you live in a high riserre of folks
that work there and they're very kind, but they're looking
at what you're doing and who's coming with you and
all that kind of stuff, and it's just sometimes I
don't I wish I could have complete and total privacy
and autonomy, but then other times I think how cool
would it be to have a little community like where
like I know a guy who he lives next door
to two or three of his buddies from when he
grew up, and like Fridays they you know, in the summer,

(04:46):
the grill gets rolled out and like the chairs get
rolled out and they just sit there and drink and
have a great time, and the kids are running around
and like that sounds like fun. But like on a
random Tuesday, if I come home and like there are
four guys in my garage for in themselves beers, I'm like,
lose it. I'm like, dude, get get the hell out
of my house. But you can't be that way, I'm
surel So I just wonder, like how how that is?

(05:07):
Like sometimes I would think it would be great to
have a house full of people, and then other times
I would be like, how do you tell people? Yeah,
it's an open door, but actually not right now.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, it's a tough line because it's like, you know,
you want your privacy. I know you want like your
own space. That's why I go upstairs sometimes and I
just I don't know, all set in the toilet for
like thirty minutes just because I'm like, I just want
to be by myself.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Everyone's like, god, Paulina has really bad Yes, right, get
that checked out? Girl? Do you have that? Kiky oh oh?
I listen.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
I don't want to talk when I leave here to
anyone other than Instagram.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Thank god. I'm not the only one.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
My sister is the house that's like probably in this house,
like everybody can just pull up as like an episode
of Martin. You never know who's going to walk in.
I like being one of the characters that pulls up
and walks in and then you can leave exactly because
don't pop up at my house. That is one of
my biggest like don't don't stop by, don't tell me
in the neighborhood. I need forty eight hours to have
noticed before you come to my house. God damn try

(05:59):
me because people think I'm weird. But like, I don't
like to talk a whole lot once we leave here.
Dude's not enough talking.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
It's just however, you were were yappers. Yeah, I'm a
I'm a yupper. I want everyone around at all times.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Well, you guys are welcome to come by anytime.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
I mean, they're not the code of my door.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
Come on in, And that makes me happy because I
really thought, like the whole time you were off, I
was like, I don't want to bother.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Probably no, I don't want to bother.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
I never want to be a bother because I feel
like somebody's always bothering me. Maybe that's the problem.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
I don't know. One day, if you get tired of it,
just changed the door code. Everyone will be like, I
can't get in. I don't know. This would have pitchforks
outside like I can't get in, Like are you inside? Yeah,
we'll come open the door. No, no,
