What would you tuck inside a time capsule that tells the story of your life right now? What objects capture your authentic self, your daily rhythms, and what brings you joy? More importantly, how do you want to be remembered when you're gone?
In this surprisingly deep conversation, Amy, Stacey, and Kitty explore the powerful concept of preservation and legacy. What begins as a lighthearted discussion about childhood time capsules quickly evolves into a thoughtful examination of what truly matters in our lives and the impression we hope to leave behind.
Stacey reveals how her basement has become an unintentional museum of memories, housing everything from high school clothes to her grandmother's vintage hats from the 1950s. "To most people it's going to say, well, this is just junk. It's more like a museum, I suppose. But I just can't get rid of some of that stuff because it is nostalgic and it does have a story."
Kitty shares that she'd include jewelry symbolizing her entrepreneurial journey, a handwritten note to future female entrepreneurs, and the podcast microphone – all emblems of her current happiness. "I'm in this whole new phase of life and it's the happiest I've been in my life, and I want a snapshot of this."
Amy contemplates documenting her downtown living experience before her next chapter begins, highlighting how our time capsule selections might change throughout different life stages. The hosts also discuss how preservation methods have evolved from meticulously created photo albums to thousands of digital photos that never get printed.
The conversation naturally flows to the deeper question of legacy. "I want to be remembered as somebody who lifts other people up with authenticity and sparkle and helps people feel really great about themselves," Kitty explains. Amy shares her hope to be remembered for bringing laughter and joy, making others feel understood and less alone.
Listen in as the trio explores family recipes that create bonds between generations, technology that will become fascinating artifacts for future generations, and the realization that legacy isn't about grand accomplishments but about the impact we have on those closest to us.
What would you preserve from your life right now? And how do you hope to be remembered? Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts!

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Are you fashionably late?
Yes, can't you tell I'mfashionably late.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
I'm just late.
Did you just get out of bed toshow up to this show?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It kind of looks like it, doesn't it?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That's right.
Today is your day off, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yes, well, actually what happened was I always have
my phone right by me in case Ineed to hit the Googles, and I
always turn the sound off yeah,which I thought I did and I turn
it on airplane mode so that Idon't suck up the you know all
the things.
And I got, and I got a textthat came through.
I'm like what?
(01:15):
Oh yeah, and then it wassomething like an easy answer,
so I got confused, okay allright, okay, well, welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
how about that for a welcome?
Welcome everyone to anotherepisode of Three Cocktails In
Amy Stacey and I.
We gather once a week, so ifyou are listening to this and if
you are new here, you've gotlots of episodes to catch up on,
because we've been doing.
We are in our second year nowof capturing these addicting
(01:44):
conversations.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's been fun?
Yeah, it has, yeah, and so weare always thinking about okay,
what do we want to talk about?
What are those?
What are the topics that jumpout at us at who knows what day
or time of the night?
Right, and then we'll shooteach other a message and say put
(02:07):
this on the list for a futuretopic.
So our list is pretty eclectic.
Just like us right.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
That is such a kind way of saying.
There's no rhyme or reason toany of the things.
Right, right.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah, my, my husband asked me what we were talking
about tonight and I told him hegoes.
Wow, you're really reaching for.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Except we're not.
There is an overriding theme.
Yes, there really is anoverriding theme.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
And at first I thought, you know, when we first
started doing this, I thoughtit was going to be about one
thing, but I think what I'mgetting from all this is what we
have.
I think we've done a ton ofself reflection.
We've done a ton ofself-reflection yeah, internal
(03:10):
self-reflection, and out of thatself-reflection we have now
identified pathways,relationships, stumbling blocks
um funny things that turns outeverybody has.
So, you know, I think thattoday's topic falls into that
category.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, I agree, and it's something that I think you
don't think about every day, andso hopefully, this conversation
kind of generates some interestin our listeners, our viewers,
in thinking about this as well,giving it some thought.
Here it is.
So, with all of that buildup,today's conversation is.
(03:53):
Today's conversation is rootedreally into pretty powerful
ideas, what we choose topreserve and how we hope to be
remembered.
It's kind of a lot, really.
So we first started talkingabout the concept of a time
capsule, and I'm rememberingback to when I was little, my
(04:18):
little family of four, my dad'slike let's do a time capsule.
We put a whole bunch of stuffin it, we buried it and I don't
have any idea what was in it.
It brings about it's got sortof a playful nature to it,
brings about a little bit ofnostalgia, but when you really
stop and think about it, it's asurprisingly deep exercise.
(04:38):
Do you guys feel the same way?
Yes, yes, way, yes, yes,because as we prepared for this,
we the three of us did not chatabout this.
So I'm really excited.
I'm really excited to hearabout what you guys talk about
it.
So a time capsule isn't just abox of stuff right, it's.
It can be a story.
(05:00):
It's like a mirror of our lives, and that's you know it's all
about.
Like this is what mattered,this is who I was, this is how I
want someone to remember me.
So let's throw the question outthere and listeners, as you're
listening to this, ask thesequestions of yourself as well.
What objects would you tuckinside a time capsule that tells
(05:23):
the story of your life rightnow, because that needs to be
factored in as well.
Is it right now or is it thelife of the whole?
So let's just talk about rightnow.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And you know, it doesn't necessarily even have to
be like a highlight reel, butlike the real deal stuff, like
the real specific things, thingsthat might remind you of why
you do what you do.
Um, you know, things that wouldwould represent kind of your
daily rhythm, what brings youjoy?
These sorts of things, theseare the things that would
(06:06):
represent kind of your dailyrhythm.
What brings you joy?
These sorts of things, theseare the things that I asked
myself when I put mine together,and I'm happy to share mine,
unless somebody else wants to gofirst.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I don't think I have one formulated, because I took
it from you know kind of thesecond half of what we're going
to talk about sort of.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Thing.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I have.
I will, if you know me at all.
You know that I have a basementthat is a time capsule.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It houses some of my stuff too, I know right, I
collected some of Amy's timecaps before.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Hey, I've got some of your shit too, amy.
I've got some of your shit hereat my house too.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Thank you.
Thank you both.
You're welcome.
Okay, go ahead.
Stace.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
A lot of the stuff I have kept over the years.
You know I've kept it becauseit meant something at the time.
I mean, I get it.
There's a lot of junk, I admitthat too.
But I have, you know, a box of,you know, clothes from high
school.
Okay, I have a box Well,multiple boxes of kids stuff you
(07:26):
know, from school to clothes toyou know different things like
that.
I have a hat box full of mygrandma's hats, you know, back
in the fifties when they worehats.
I have hats from way back thenthat I just can't get rid of.
To most people it's going tosay, well, this is just junk.
(07:51):
It's more like a museum, Isuppose.
But I just can't get rid ofsome of that stuff because it is
nostalgic and it does have astory.
Most of the time it's justmemories from a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, memories that you would want somebody else to
pull it out and say, wow, Iwonder.
You know, I'd like to know thisstory, and maybe some of the
best time capsules out therehave a little bit of narrative
with.
You know, if there are specificartifacts in there, put a
(08:30):
little bit of that story inthere.
And I mean, wouldn't it be coolto find one?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Oh, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know how cool my kidsare going to think it is.
Some days they pull all thisjunk out, but I don't know.
I think it's cool.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I would be really, you know, like all of us, we all
have stuff.
I'm really interested inknowing what it is my kids think
are cool, what it is my kidsthink is cool, mm-hmm, what it
is my, what it is my kids thinkis cool.
Okay, there we go.
You know, I thought about Iwould probably put a quilt in
(09:14):
that I made.
I have a photo of some irisesthat I would like to put in
because that's a running that.
I've got a photo of my I I thinkit was uh Madeline in Georgia
when they were very, very little, in the backyard in my gram in
(09:36):
front of my grandma's gardenthat had the beautiful garden.
Um, I think it's funny that Ikeep hitting on this garden and
I live in a.
I live in downtown Minneapoliswithout any outdoor space to
garden myself, but I would putthat um, you know, those are
(09:56):
older things, but I think thethe idea of quilting is all my
quilts are loud, I love color, Ilove color and I, you know, I
think that says something aboutme.
As you guys can see back here,I got fabric and stuff back
there and flowers, and it'd bereally hard for me to try and
(10:20):
pick out something now.
Yeah, that would be indicativeof my current life.
I mean, although I do have twovery large jars of wine corks I
don't know what that really saysthat I've been collecting for
the last four years since Imoved down here.
Um, it's hard, it's hard tothink of things, yeah, yeah and
(10:48):
I think it can.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It can also seem almost like, uh, we talked, we
talked about creating a bucketlist and how you can totally get
overwhelmed by that, becauseyou feel like these things that
you put on the bucket list haveto be these big grand things and
even with the time put on thebucket list have to be these big
grand things and even with thetime capsule they it doesn't
have to be.
(11:09):
And and maybe there are evenlike different times in our life
.
Well, at different times in ourlife, we would put different
things into the time capsule.
For sure, absolutely yeah, whatare you putting in yours?
So I went from the perspectiveof right now, and and and I did
(11:30):
that because I feel like I I'mjust so happy in my life right
now and one thing that I haven'tshared with this audience have
(11:53):
shared, I have shared with Amyand Stacey, but Bill, my husband
, is retiring and he's given hisnotice.
He he's still going in andwrapping up some projects, so
his last day hasn't officiallyhappened.
But I feel like the two of usare in this whole new phase of
life and it's the happiest I'vebeen in my in my life, and I
(12:14):
want a snapshot of this, and so,of course, I'm putting a piece
of jewelry into my time capsuleas a significant piece of me
taking the leap and saying I'mdone with what I've done in the
past, I'm going to be my ownboss, I'm going to have my own
(12:37):
thing going, and just thefreedom that has come from that.
So that's got to be in thereright now.
That has to be.
That's a sparkly symbol of myhappiness right now.
I would also write a note, ahandwritten note, to future
(13:01):
female entrepreneurs, and Ithink our podcast is a little
bit of that.
So I'm also putting the podcastmicrophone in there.
So a lot of what we talk abouthere is empowerment, and it's
one of the reasons why we wantedto do this right.
(13:22):
I mean, we just felt, like youguys, we're in the prime of our
lives right now, and so we andwe want more people to be
empowered by that.
So I it would be a short letterof encouragement um, straight
talk, talking about you know.
(13:43):
Straight talk Talking about youknow.
Find your groove, find yourvoice.
It's true that you do what youlove.
You'll never work another dayin your life.
So that's going to be in there,and the mic, and that's as far
as I've gotten.
Of course I would put a familyphoto in there.
I have a very small family.
I mean it's Bill Bo and I, mymom, my sister and her husband.
(14:07):
You know, bill's sisters areall over.
We have this tiny little family.
So there's got to be a familyphoto in there.
But that's where I'm going withit right now.
That's good, and it would be ina pretty pink box with a ribbon
on.
That's good, and it would be ina pretty pink box with a ribbon
on it.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
There'd be pink somewhere, of course.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
I have a question for your letter.
Yeah, as you were talking, youknow, is there any part of it in
there that says but you have to, you know, because you
mentioned, do what you love, soyou never work a day.
(14:51):
But is there a little pieceahead of that where it's pay
your dues first?
Because I don't think even Idon't think me for sure, I'm
assuming either both of you too.
You didn't start out, and maybefor a lot of years there was.
You know that wasn't the case.
You know it's easy to have thattoday, but early on it's hard
to so what was your?
advice.
(15:11):
What would be your advice to?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
the advice would be and as much as I hate the, the
analogy of the journey, I liketo come up with a different
analogy for that but you kind ofyou have to trust the path, and
I wouldn't be doing what I'mdoing today had I not had that
(15:37):
very first job back in 1999 thatsent me on this specific path.
And one of the things that Ithink we've all talked about is
one of the things that I find,especially when we talk to this
young generation just enteringthe workforce, they all feel
like they have to have itfigured out, they have to know
what they want to do and theyhave to land the dream job.
(15:57):
No and no, but you have tostart somewhere.
So start the journey, startgoing.
You're the journey, start going.
You're going to get beat down,you're going to have successes,
you're going to have moments intime where you're like
interesting, this is not what Iwant to do, I'm going to make a
pivot.
(16:17):
And where you really have thatfull happiness and I'm not
(16:52):
saying I don't have days whereI'm like, oh, I hate this part
of what I do or I get frustratedby whatever, but landing
getting to this point is just,is just such a beautiful feeling
and I want every I hopeeverybody is able to do that.
I think about that with bo.
He hasn't even started yetright.
He's not even done with school,hasn't really even had a first
job, and I'm just thinking aboutall the shit that he's going to
, all this crap that we wentthrough to learn, all the hard
lessons they all have to do.
(17:16):
It Can't be that easy.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
But there's also a whole hell of a lot of fun along
the way.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yes, we had fun.
Yes, the way yes, we had fun.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yes, we did.
Yeah, you know, as you weretalking about this snapshot and
I talked about how much I lovedowntown, you know, and I do
like living here and I have saidthat for a while, I find myself
(17:49):
more and more lately looking tomy next home, yeah, which I'm
surprised by, like I don't thinkthat I moved in here thinking I
was going to stay forever, butI, um, that's coming.
I can see somewhere down thelane that that's coming, and so
(18:14):
I'm trying very much to enjoythis downtown sort of experience
, because I, because I think alot of people don't have the
opportunity, no, no, no, don'thave the courage to do it, don't
have the.
You know, they think it's forthe young, not the old.
(18:35):
I've heard people say, oh well,aren't you living the whatever?
And you know, it's just one ofthose choices, it's just a
choice.
So maybe I, you know, do alittle video of my place, tuck
that, tuck that in there alittle, you know a.
USB port that people would lookat like an eight track.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Yeah, like how do we, what do we do with this?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, I mean really, it's a moment in time, is all it
is.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Do you guys so?
When you were growing up, didyou have photo albums and
scrapbooks?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Do you see that on my little lower shelf right over
there?
Yeah, got some second shelf up.
Yes, and I get such a kick.
Actually, I'm horrible atkeeping them for my kids, but I
love looking through mygrandparents albums.
You know the ones they had?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
yeah, I love it, so you have you.
You have their albums um, Ihave, I.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I somehow ended up being the keeper.
Well, georgia, and I kind ofcall it the keeper of the crypt.
Okay, we have a rollingsuitcase, a carry-on suitcase,
that has a bunch of photos andalbums and things from my
parents and there is from mymom's parents.
I don't really have too manyfrom my dad's parents.
(20:07):
My cousin Jenny has got allthose and she is a great
historian and she loves to getthem out and every once in a
while I'll get a package with abunch of photos in it or old
carts that my parents had sentto her.
You know our grandmother,because we, because we share
(20:29):
that, and I love seeing that oldstuff.
I have always loved history, soI find that so cool to look at
old things.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Okay, so, but current .
I'm asking this because I haveI don't know 9,000 photos in my
phone and I have not developedone over the last 10 years, but
that was, I mean, that's my dadin particular.
(21:02):
He was the one he loved photoalbums and scrapbooks and so
when he passed I mean there wereso many to go through and it
was actually overwhelming my momwas like what do I do with all
these?
And so I got to thinking aboutthat and preparing for tonight
(21:24):
in this conversation, because Ifeel like now we don't really do
that we don't go and get photosdeveloped and put them into
albums.
Like now we don't really dothat we don't go and get photos
developed and put them intoalbums.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I'll tell you, my youngest daughter has so many
photographs that she has takenfrom her phone and went and had
them printed out and she's gotthem in frames all over her room
, all over their house and stuff, and maybe it's coming back.
Maybe it's just us that have,maybe, you know, opted out I'm,
(21:55):
I'm halfway.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I every, I would say, year, maybe a little less.
I print everything.
I get pictures.
It's cheap to do.
I just did it not very long ago, um, and I put some in frames.
Otherwise I just have them in abox and so someday somebody's
going to have thousands of youknow pictures to dig through.
(22:17):
I even have some empty photoalbums that I bought, but I just
never get them into the photoalbum.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
I'll tell you from a trip that I took many years ago.
I clicked on a whole bunch ofour photos and I put them into a
Shutterfly book and I had anactual book made.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
And.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I think I'm going to do that.
I haven't done it yet.
Maybe I should do it on theplane ride to Italy.
From the pictures from France,yeah, from last year.
There you go From last year,because then it's not a photo
album.
That's what I find.
So I From last year.
Here you go From last year,because I cause then it's not a
photo album.
That's what I find.
So I find that tedious.
Of all the creative things Ilike to do, putting up, I'm just
(23:03):
too.
It's too much I could make.
That could be a full-time jobfor me.
Yeah, yeah, it's a lot yeah,yeah, yeah it's a lot, okay.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
So part of this conversation also is how do we
want to be remembered or what dowe want to be remembered for?
Have you so a lot of peoplethat?
I'm not just talking aboutwriting an obituary.
We're not necessarily talkingabout that, although I know a
(23:37):
lot of people write their ownobituary and have that all
wrapped up and ready to go,which I did.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
I did it.
Well, first I have a funnystory, so I thought I would kind
of cheat and use AI, you knowto do it.
So the funny part of this is Iget into.
You know, I've been using SnapAI.
I wrote in there, you know,write my obituary but leave, you
(24:09):
know, out the details for me tofill it and hit enter.
And it says I'm sorry I can'tdo that, but if you need someone
to talk to, you know, maybe youknow where it's going.
If you need someone to talk toand if you're having problems,
you know, maybe you can get help.
And it's like no, no, write mea sample obituary.
(24:31):
So yeah, write it.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Write an obituary template.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yes, there we go yeah , I just didn't word that quite
right.
And a lesson for ai if you wantthe outcome to be good, you
have to the inputs gotta bepretty good too, yes.
I thought I was having a mentalday, oh gosh.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Well, it's good to know that there's, you know that
there's a computer looking outfor you.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yes, right, real helpful.
Do you need to talk to somebody?
No, oh well.
So yeah, I did write mine.
It was interesting and hard atthe same time.
You know, the part I thoughtwas the hardest is, you know the
.
What do you want to beremembered by?
You know what did you?
(25:21):
You know what will peopleremember you by?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
I put in.
Oh, go ahead I put in oh, goahead, the.
I think people will beinterested to find out some of
the weird places I've lived,because I've lived in quite a
few places, which is kind offunny, but most people wouldn't
know that, but I don't know.
And my funny thing because Idecided to kind of make it funny
(25:52):
is things that I'm known for,and I've said this before my
ability to do almost anything,but do it very average in
ability.
So then I listed a few things Ilike to do, but pretty average
at it.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Are your cheesy potatoes in the list?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
No, I didn't even add your scotcheroos.
She was known for her cheesypotatoes and scotcheroos.
I'll have to add that no, I didnot even.
Well, if you don't, we willyeah that's fine.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Yeah, you can do that .
Matter of fact, youngest isserving cheesy potatoes to the
housemates tonight and had tocall me like four times again
about when do I do this?
How do I do that?
Yeah, I'm like stacy saysshredded potatoes are better
than cubed.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Okay and that's exactly what I used when I
delivered easter dinner to Amy.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
There were your cheesy potatoes yes, oh, and
that was the first thing todisappear.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, it is a good oddly good recipe.
Yes, I'll have to go back andedit my obituary.
There you go, and maybe that'sthe thing that we put in the
time capsule is.
You know, wouldn't you love tohave like your, you know,
grandma's recipe box, or you?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
know I've got them.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I know I have a few and I have a lot of my mom's,
but I think that's the thing weshould pass down, because you
said you know I'm assuming itwas Ava had to call you for the
recipe.
I bet we've given her therecipe five times.
She's got it, she's got it.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
And she takes a picture of it and sends it to me
.
She goes is this the one I'msupposed to use?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Mine do the same thing.
They call me every time theyhave to make something.
It's why don't you just somehowsave it.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I love that I get those little phone calls.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
So, I'm okay with it.
Yep, I before the Googles.
I remember calling my mom andso she'd answer and say mom got
a cooking question, and then youknow my dad would be somewhere
around it.
Kitty's got a cooking question,and I know I know how much that
meant to her that I was callingand I was asking a cooking
(28:13):
question.
So thanks sure yeah, yeah so thetopic of how do you want to be
remembered, what do you want tobe to be remembered for?
I from, and Bill and I actuallytalked about this at dinner
tonight.
I start from well, who are thepeople?
(28:35):
Who are the people that aregoing to remember me?
It's not like we're the Pope.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
It's very timely because the Pope just passed.
I mean it's a small circle.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
It's an important circle of friends, right, it's
the besties, it's the family andextended family, so that's not
a lot of people, um, so um, Ikind of went to again.
(29:09):
I think, just because I'm inthis rose colored time of my
life right now, I want to beremembered as somebody who lifts
other people up withauthenticity and sparkle and
(29:34):
helps people feel really greatabout themselves.
I think I I mean she could takethe sparkle out for Bo but I
mean that's a lot of you know,when you're parenting a young
20-something, you're helpingthem have the confidence that
they need to go and do what theyneed.
(29:55):
He needs to fly right.
Kid has not launched yet, soyou know, giving him the
confidence to do that.
And it's the piece of my jewelrybusiness that makes me the most
proud and the most happy.
The messages that I get frompeople on what the group means
(30:20):
to them.
First and foremost, it's notjewelry, what the group means to
them and the friendships thathave been developed People who
never would have known eachother and the friendships that
have been developed people whonever would have known each
other and then the confidencethat they get from wearing the
jewelry and buying the jewelry.
It's something I never expectedand that's central to how I
(30:46):
want to be remembered want to beremembered.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I would hope people would remember that I love being
around people.
I love somebody I was listeningto described one of their
friends as a party pumper-upper,that anytime they came to an
occasion, an event, you knewthings were going to go, you
know that things were going tobe good, it was going to be fun,
(31:21):
that this person committed 100%to anything they got involved
with.
And I want to be that.
I want to be remembered forthat.
I love being in a group.
I love a good laugh.
Oh, there is nothing greater tome than to be able to share
things from the truly funny tothe sad, funny to the oh my God,
(31:46):
I can't believe this happenedwith a laugh.
I just feel that laughter isone of the most soothing, one of
the most healing things that wecan do with and for each other.
And I do that with the peoplethat I work with, the people
(32:08):
that I'm selling to the people,my kids.
One of my lovely daughterscalled and told me and said I
need to tell you this, but I'mhoping that you know.
And she kind of went on and shestarted telling me something
that had happened and she was,she goes.
I am equal parts horrified, andI laughed through the whole
(32:31):
telling.
She was really worried that Iwas going to be upset about
something and she goes.
You cannot believe how muchbetter I feel knowing that you
are laughing through this wholething.
And so it's not that I makelight of situations, because I
really do hear people and I andI can understand their anxiety
(32:52):
and their apprehension, but I sowant people to feel that they
are not alone, and mosteverything, just like every
conversation in our head, isworse than the real one.
Every situation that we've gonethrough, somebody else has
probably gone through it as well, and I just really would love
(33:15):
to be remembered as the person.
Like she's going to be on myside.
We're going to get a good laughout of this.
It's, it's going to be okay,and if I can do that, I, I, if I
am remembered that way, I willfeel like I've lived a
successful life.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
It's beautiful yeah, yes, very good.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I mean, this is kind of a feel-good episode.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I hope aren't all of ours a feel good episode maybe?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
not when we start talking about hot flashes which
we don't talk about no we don't.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
No politics, no religion, no menopause you know
what?
Speaker 2 (34:09):
now I want to watch Conclave it's so good.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Yes, I watched it.
Oh, and I saw some uh statwhich I won't be able to repeat,
but but after the pope dying,the um, you know every
everybody's been watchingconclave now, so it's like gone
sky high and viewership becauseof that just to see it.
Yeah, I, without givinganything away, I'm, I don't know
(34:37):
what amy thinks, but I neversaw it coming.
What happened in the end?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
I didn't either, um I I.
I anticipated how the vote wasgoing to go, but I did not
anticipate.
Yeah, so, yes, it's so good.
So I saw something as we'retalking about conclave, I saw
something on threads that someparent was explaining to their
(35:06):
middle schooler all about how anew pope is elected, voted in,
whatever.
And they're like, wow, catholicschool must really.
You really studied that.
And the mom was like, no, danBrown, from all the books Stop.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I thought she was going to say no, I just watched
Conclave.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I know she was basically saying what was that?
Angels and Demons, and what wassome of the other books that
he's written?
All about the Vinci Code.
The Vinci Code, right, yeah.
And then I saw somebody else atcomics saying that there's no
way they could elect a womanpope, because they lost some
(35:52):
religious artifact 500 years agoand the first thing she'd do is
open a cupboard somewhere andfind it.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
All these men throughout the ages haven't been
able to find anything I can'tbend over and look Right in
front of you, move the stocksheets.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
There it is.
I thought that was kind offunny.
Oh my, I'm sorry.
See, there we go taking a verysad, sad event the passing of
the pope, and I'm, yes, making ajoke.
I'm not making a joke of it,I'm lightning the.
You know, yeah, I'm the buffer,so so stace.
(36:35):
Um, you said you've got, youwrote your obituary, kitty.
You got your list.
I don't, you know whatever sortof thing, any oddities that
you're putting in there.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Oddities.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Like you guys probably can't see it behind me,
but I have a photograph upthere of Joe Maur, mauer and
johan santana from the twinsfrom about I don't know 1999.
That that is one photo I haveup in my house.
(37:14):
I took the picture of them atspring training.
I think I should throw that inthere.
There'd be like what, what?
Speaker 4 (37:22):
your grandkids are gonna look at it and like who
are these?
Did my grandma date?
We'll follow that one?
Oh, yeah, sure, sure, she did.
They're both way too young so.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
I yeah, we'll follow that one, oh yeah sure.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I'm sure she did.
They're both way too young so Idon't know.
If there are oddities I'll haveto think about that.
I have kept shoot.
I was going to grab it andbring it down here.
I kept.
I think what is my very firstiPhone.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Oh, that would be awesome to throw in.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, and so that would have been 2008 when I got
it.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
You should also throw in some cords, just some random
cords, yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Yeah, enough of those .
Speaker 2 (38:13):
I don't know, just kind of looking around to see.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Yeah, those are good ideas.
Technology, things that havegone, technology that's gone by
the wayside, that you know.
You'd look at it and like whatdid this do so?
Speaker 3 (38:29):
like a regular watch that I still wear every single
day.
A.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Walkman.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
That you strap to your arm.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
The first?
Yeah, a lot of those kind ofthings.
The first, oh gosh, ipod, ipod,yeah, first iPod.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Or even the laptop we're using right right now.
Speaker 4 (38:59):
I'm sure would be so archaic yeah, I just threw
mallory's ipod little pink, youknow this big ipod in the
garbage.
She says I don't want to know,throw it away.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
So I said and I mean, when you think about it, all it
is is a flash drive.
Yeah, for the most part it's aflash drive with a little
directory on it.
It's, yeah, the tech, theinnovate, the technology,
innovation that we have seen inour lifetime.
What an 80 or 90 year old hasseen in their lifetime?
(39:32):
Oh my gosh, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Well, any other thoughts you guys on this topic?
Speaker 4 (39:49):
I just think it's a good one.
It was a good idea to thinkabout.
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, and hopefully this sparks ideas Because it's
kind of a fun exercise.
I mean, like, if you're sittingaround with a bunch of friends,
throw the question out.
It's because I think it's kindof fun to just on the fly say,
oh okay, well, let's brainstorma little bit.
What would I put in?
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Yeah, and if you can't think of some fun, cool
things to put in or you don'thave an idea of how you want to
be remembered.
It is not too late.
Right to make changes.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yes, yep, exactly amen, sister.
Um, who's got a shot?
I?
Speaker 4 (40:40):
do.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Oh my gosh amy does, she's excited speaking of amen
sisters, um, you guys, I um, youknow how we are all about
supporting women.
Yes, and a very, very goodfriend of the show has.
I want everybody to give her alisten.
(41:01):
It's very, you know.
I'm not going to say that thatshe copied us, because it's um,
she's hanging with some friendsand talking about stuff, you
know, and it's so hilarious.
Um, but amy poehler has got anew podcast called Good Hang and
I love it.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
Good Hang, good Hang.
Yeah, I think on Insta it'sGood Hang with Amy Yep, yep.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
She is.
I love her.
You know we love her.
She's a comedian I especiallylove she's done.
She's probably only done likefive or six there aren't too
many.
Of course, I love the first onewith Tina Fey, but one of the
most recent she did is withKatherine Hahn, and I adore
Katherine Hahn.
I just think she is so smartand so funny and a riot.
(41:54):
I think she burped like threetimes in the middle of the whole
podcast and then the two ofthem got to laughing so hard
they couldn't continue.
So it's our type of it's ourtype of listening yeah, it is I
think the one.
Speaker 4 (42:07):
The one I was watching today was jack.
Oh, I haven't seen that oneequally, equally as funny,
because they're just sillytogether was funny.
Yeah, that's a good one.
On a side note, this wasn't myshot, but did you know that?
Oh my gosh, I lost it.
(42:28):
Okay, so I'm gonna do my shot.
My shot is I I don't know ifthis is gonna work, work.
So Tartlet tubing mascara, ohOkay, and it's kind of a pink.
I've worn this for a long timeso I thought I would show this.
But the reason why I broughtthis up and you can get this at
(42:51):
Ulta I think it's not thecheapest, so I think it's like
$28 at Ulta.
So my favorite.
But here's my thing.
So you know the usual go on theInternet and you know you're
scrolling through stuff.
I saw an ad where the woman wastalking exactly about Tarte,
(43:14):
tartelette mascara, tubingmascara, and it looked just like
this and she was putting it onand she called it out and you
know below that where you do theshop now.
So I said, huh, wonder if I canget it over the you know,
online and see what the price is.
When you do that shop now ittakes you to a whole nother you
(43:35):
know, whole nother site.
The picture was a pinkish tube,didn't say tartlet anywhere on
it and I know that is one ofthose where it's, you know,
selling you the product thatisn't the product you know what
I mean, and I just get sofrustrated with that, yeah,
(43:56):
which I thought was interesting,considering they probably used
her video.
You know yep for this productand that is so frustrating
whenever I see ads whenever Isee ads or promos on facebook or
instagram.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
I'll go all the way out and I'll go to the actual
website and then search for theproducts.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Yeah, that happened to a lot.
That happened a lot with umGudrun GE designs, because she
does fabulous product videos andum especially overseas
companies would take clips ofher videos and it was her ring
in her hands and they're sellingtheir knockoff and it was a it
(44:41):
was a huge problem, so theoriginal product.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
So do they?
Do they have a legal team thattakes over then and goes after
them?
Speaker 3 (44:55):
You know, some of it is like you can't even tell who
the people are.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Yeah, you know that are doing it.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
But yeah, there's been some things that were that
happened, that she had to bringin the legal team to send some
letters and get some stuff down.
And you know, the one thing youcan do when you're on socials
and you see that you can reportthe ad.
Yeah, pretending to be somebody, they're not pretending to be
(45:26):
somebody they're not.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
Yeah, okay, yep, and I thought about my other thing,
and this is not a shot, it'sjust a question did you know
that mel robbins put out a newbook?
I heard about it for the firsttime this morning.
We'll have to do a little moreresearch.
Her new book is Let Me.
The first one was Let them.
(45:50):
The new one, just a bit, whatI'm getting is Let Me.
Where, giving yourself thepermission to you know, I don't
know set boundaries and thatkind of thing for yourself.
So, like I said, I don't know alot about it, but I'm sure
(46:12):
It'll be interesting.
So yeah, I didn't know that.
Let's see Me.
Neither.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
What about.
Okay, I did think of one thing,and I think this would be a fun
thing for all of us to do, so Ijust learned today that you can
have AI roast you.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
Oh, no, have you heard this?
Speaker 2 (46:36):
No, this is fun.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
I don't want AI to roast me, it's all in fun.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
It's all in fun.
So you pick a photo and I thinkit's hilarious when you pick,
like, a family photo.
So let's say I pick a photo,it's Bill Bo and I, or Bill Bo
and Mackenzie and I, so you puta photo into ChatGPT.
So you put a photo into ChatGPTand you know.
(47:02):
So I mean I would pick a goodphoto, maybe where expressions
are funny, or you know it's aphoto, you're not just all
sitting there like this, okay,and then the prompt is roast us,
(47:26):
basically.
So it's roast us, and then youcan set the vibe, so like, if
you want it to be just sort ofmild, you know a mild spicy.
If you want it to be medium, ifyou want to be you know like AI
, go all out like bird to crisp,roast us, um, and then it will
come back and it will and it'shilarious.
I think we should all do thisand post them on our page.
(47:47):
It's in fun, it's all in funokay, I'll go first and then
we'll follow.
I'll do it first, so I we'llfollow it.
I'll do it first, so I need tofind a photo.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
Yes, more to come on that, I guess We'll see.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Okay, the hilarious side of AI.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
All right?
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Well, you guys, have a good week, thank you.

Are you fashionably late?
Yes, can't you tell I'mfashionably late.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
I'm just late.
Did you just get out of bed toshow up to this show?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
It kind of looks like it, doesn't it?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That's right.
Today is your day off, isn't it?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yes, well, actually what happened was I always have
my phone right by me in case Ineed to hit the Googles, and I
always turn the sound off yeah,which I thought I did and I turn
it on airplane mode so that Idon't suck up the you know all
the things.
And I got, and I got a textthat came through.
I'm like what?
(01:15):
Oh yeah, and then it wassomething like an easy answer,
so I got confused, okay allright, okay, well, welcome.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
how about that for a welcome?
Welcome everyone to anotherepisode of Three Cocktails In
Amy Stacey and I.
We gather once a week, so ifyou are listening to this and if
you are new here, you've gotlots of episodes to catch up on,
because we've been doing.
We are in our second year nowof capturing these addicting
(01:44):
conversations.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's been fun?
Yeah, it has, yeah, and so weare always thinking about okay,
what do we want to talk about?
What are those?
What are the topics that jumpout at us at who knows what day
or time of the night?
Right, and then we'll shooteach other a message and say put
(02:07):
this on the list for a futuretopic.
So our list is pretty eclectic.
Just like us right.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
That is such a kind way of saying.
There's no rhyme or reason toany of the things.
Right, right.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Yeah, my, my husband asked me what we were talking
about tonight and I told him hegoes.
Wow, you're really reaching for.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Except we're not.
There is an overriding theme.
Yes, there really is anoverriding theme.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
And at first I thought, you know, when we first
started doing this, I thoughtit was going to be about one
thing, but I think what I'mgetting from all this is what we
have.
I think we've done a ton ofself reflection.
We've done a ton ofself-reflection yeah, internal
(03:10):
self-reflection, and out of thatself-reflection we have now
identified pathways,relationships, stumbling blocks
um funny things that turns outeverybody has.
So, you know, I think thattoday's topic falls into that
category.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, I agree, and it's something that I think you
don't think about every day, andso hopefully, this conversation
kind of generates some interestin our listeners, our viewers,
in thinking about this as well,giving it some thought.
Here it is.
So, with all of that buildup,today's conversation is.
(03:53):
Today's conversation is rootedreally into pretty powerful
ideas, what we choose topreserve and how we hope to be
remembered.
It's kind of a lot, really.
So we first started talkingabout the concept of a time
capsule, and I'm rememberingback to when I was little, my
(04:18):
little family of four, my dad'slike let's do a time capsule.
We put a whole bunch of stuffin it, we buried it and I don't
have any idea what was in it.
It brings about it's got sortof a playful nature to it,
brings about a little bit ofnostalgia, but when you really
stop and think about it, it's asurprisingly deep exercise.
(04:38):
Do you guys feel the same way?
Yes, yes, way, yes, yes,because as we prepared for this,
we the three of us did not chatabout this.
So I'm really excited.
I'm really excited to hearabout what you guys talk about
it.
So a time capsule isn't just abox of stuff right, it's.
It can be a story.
(05:00):
It's like a mirror of our lives, and that's you know it's all
about.
Like this is what mattered,this is who I was, this is how I
want someone to remember me.
So let's throw the question outthere and listeners, as you're
listening to this, ask thesequestions of yourself as well.
What objects would you tuckinside a time capsule that tells
(05:23):
the story of your life rightnow, because that needs to be
factored in as well.
Is it right now or is it thelife of the whole?
So let's just talk about rightnow.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And you know, it doesn't necessarily even have to
be like a highlight reel, butlike the real deal stuff, like
the real specific things, thingsthat might remind you of why
you do what you do.
Um, you know, things that wouldwould represent kind of your
daily rhythm, what brings youjoy?
These sorts of things, theseare the things that would
(06:06):
represent kind of your dailyrhythm.
What brings you joy?
These sorts of things, theseare the things that I asked
myself when I put mine together,and I'm happy to share mine,
unless somebody else wants to gofirst.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I don't think I have one formulated, because I took
it from you know kind of thesecond half of what we're going
to talk about sort of.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Thing.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I have.
I will, if you know me at all.
You know that I have a basementthat is a time capsule.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It houses some of my stuff too, I know right, I
collected some of Amy's timecaps before.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Hey, I've got some of your shit too, amy.
I've got some of your shit hereat my house too.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Thank you.
Thank you both.
You're welcome.
Okay, go ahead.
Stace.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
A lot of the stuff I have kept over the years.
You know I've kept it becauseit meant something at the time.
I mean, I get it.
There's a lot of junk, I admitthat too.
But I have, you know, a box of,you know, clothes from high
school.
Okay, I have a box Well,multiple boxes of kids stuff you
(07:26):
know, from school to clothes toyou know different things like
that.
I have a hat box full of mygrandma's hats, you know, back
in the fifties when they worehats.
I have hats from way back thenthat I just can't get rid of.
To most people it's going tosay, well, this is just junk.
(07:51):
It's more like a museum, Isuppose.
But I just can't get rid ofsome of that stuff because it is
nostalgic and it does have astory.
Most of the time it's justmemories from a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, memories that you would want somebody else to
pull it out and say, wow, Iwonder.
You know, I'd like to know thisstory, and maybe some of the
best time capsules out therehave a little bit of narrative
with.
You know, if there are specificartifacts in there, put a
(08:30):
little bit of that story inthere.
And I mean, wouldn't it be coolto find one?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Oh, I know, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know how cool my kidsare going to think it is.
Some days they pull all thisjunk out, but I don't know.
I think it's cool.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
I would be really, you know, like all of us, we all
have stuff.
I'm really interested inknowing what it is my kids think
are cool, what it is my kidsthink is cool, mm-hmm, what it
is my, what it is my kids thinkis cool.
Okay, there we go.
You know, I thought about Iwould probably put a quilt in
(09:14):
that I made.
I have a photo of some irisesthat I would like to put in
because that's a running that.
I've got a photo of my I I thinkit was uh Madeline in Georgia
when they were very, very little, in the backyard in my gram in
(09:36):
front of my grandma's gardenthat had the beautiful garden.
Um, I think it's funny that Ikeep hitting on this garden and
I live in a.
I live in downtown Minneapoliswithout any outdoor space to
garden myself, but I would putthat um, you know, those are
(09:56):
older things, but I think thethe idea of quilting is all my
quilts are loud, I love color, Ilove color and I, you know, I
think that says something aboutme.
As you guys can see back here,I got fabric and stuff back
there and flowers, and it'd bereally hard for me to try and
(10:20):
pick out something now.
Yeah, that would be indicativeof my current life.
I mean, although I do have twovery large jars of wine corks I
don't know what that really saysthat I've been collecting for
the last four years since Imoved down here.
Um, it's hard, it's hard tothink of things, yeah, yeah and
(10:48):
I think it can.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
It can also seem almost like, uh, we talked, we
talked about creating a bucketlist and how you can totally get
overwhelmed by that, becauseyou feel like these things that
you put on the bucket list haveto be these big grand things and
even with the time put on thebucket list have to be these big
grand things and even with thetime capsule they it doesn't
have to be.
(11:09):
And and maybe there are evenlike different times in our life
.
Well, at different times in ourlife, we would put different
things into the time capsule.
For sure, absolutely yeah, whatare you putting in yours?
So I went from the perspectiveof right now, and and and I did
(11:30):
that because I feel like I I'mjust so happy in my life right
now and one thing that I haven'tshared with this audience have
(11:53):
shared, I have shared with Amyand Stacey, but Bill, my husband
, is retiring and he's given hisnotice.
He he's still going in andwrapping up some projects, so
his last day hasn't officiallyhappened.
But I feel like the two of usare in this whole new phase of
life and it's the happiest I'vebeen in my in my life, and I
(12:14):
want a snapshot of this, and so,of course, I'm putting a piece
of jewelry into my time capsuleas a significant piece of me
taking the leap and saying I'mdone with what I've done in the
past, I'm going to be my ownboss, I'm going to have my own
(12:37):
thing going, and just thefreedom that has come from that.
So that's got to be in thereright now.
That has to be.
That's a sparkly symbol of myhappiness right now.
I would also write a note, ahandwritten note, to future
(13:01):
female entrepreneurs, and Ithink our podcast is a little
bit of that.
So I'm also putting the podcastmicrophone in there.
So a lot of what we talk abouthere is empowerment, and it's
one of the reasons why we wantedto do this right.
(13:22):
I mean, we just felt, like youguys, we're in the prime of our
lives right now, and so we andwe want more people to be
empowered by that.
So I it would be a short letterof encouragement um, straight
talk, talking about you know.
(13:43):
Straight talk Talking about youknow.
Find your groove, find yourvoice.
It's true that you do what youlove.
You'll never work another dayin your life.
So that's going to be in there,and the mic, and that's as far
as I've gotten.
Of course I would put a familyphoto in there.
I have a very small family.
I mean it's Bill Bo and I, mymom, my sister and her husband.
(14:07):
You know, bill's sisters areall over.
We have this tiny little family.
So there's got to be a familyphoto in there.
But that's where I'm going withit right now.
That's good, and it would be ina pretty pink box with a ribbon
on.
That's good, and it would be ina pretty pink box with a ribbon
on it.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
There'd be pink somewhere, of course.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
I have a question for your letter.
Yeah, as you were talking, youknow, is there any part of it in
there that says but you have to, you know, because you
mentioned, do what you love, soyou never work a day.
(14:51):
But is there a little pieceahead of that where it's pay
your dues first?
Because I don't think even Idon't think me for sure, I'm
assuming either both of you too.
You didn't start out, and maybefor a lot of years there was.
You know that wasn't the case.
You know it's easy to have thattoday, but early on it's hard
to so what was your?
advice.
(15:11):
What would be your advice to?
Speaker 2 (15:14):
the advice would be and as much as I hate the, the
analogy of the journey, I liketo come up with a different
analogy for that but you kind ofyou have to trust the path, and
I wouldn't be doing what I'mdoing today had I not had that
(15:37):
very first job back in 1999 thatsent me on this specific path.
And one of the things that Ithink we've all talked about is
one of the things that I find,especially when we talk to this
young generation just enteringthe workforce, they all feel
like they have to have itfigured out, they have to know
what they want to do and theyhave to land the dream job.
(15:57):
No and no, but you have tostart somewhere.
So start the journey, startgoing.
You're the journey, start going.
You're going to get beat down,you're going to have successes,
you're going to have moments intime where you're like
interesting, this is not what Iwant to do, I'm going to make a
pivot.
(16:17):
And where you really have thatfull happiness and I'm not
(16:52):
saying I don't have days whereI'm like, oh, I hate this part
of what I do or I get frustratedby whatever, but landing
getting to this point is just,is just such a beautiful feeling
and I want every I hopeeverybody is able to do that.
I think about that with bo.
He hasn't even started yetright.
He's not even done with school,hasn't really even had a first
job, and I'm just thinking aboutall the shit that he's going to
, all this crap that we wentthrough to learn, all the hard
lessons they all have to do.
(17:16):
It Can't be that easy.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
But there's also a whole hell of a lot of fun along
the way.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yes, we had fun.
Yes, the way yes, we had fun.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Yes, we did.
Yeah, you know, as you weretalking about this snapshot and
I talked about how much I lovedowntown, you know, and I do
like living here and I have saidthat for a while, I find myself
(17:49):
more and more lately looking tomy next home, yeah, which I'm
surprised by, like I don't thinkthat I moved in here thinking I
was going to stay forever, butI, um, that's coming.
I can see somewhere down thelane that that's coming, and so
(18:14):
I'm trying very much to enjoythis downtown sort of experience
, because I, because I think alot of people don't have the
opportunity, no, no, no, don'thave the courage to do it, don't
have the.
You know, they think it's forthe young, not the old.
(18:35):
I've heard people say, oh well,aren't you living the whatever?
And you know, it's just one ofthose choices, it's just a
choice.
So maybe I, you know, do alittle video of my place, tuck
that, tuck that in there alittle, you know a.
USB port that people would lookat like an eight track.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Yeah, like how do we, what do we do with this?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Yeah, I mean really, it's a moment in time, is all it
is.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Do you guys so?
When you were growing up, didyou have photo albums and
scrapbooks?
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Do you see that on my little lower shelf right over
there?
Yeah, got some second shelf up.
Yes, and I get such a kick.
Actually, I'm horrible atkeeping them for my kids, but I
love looking through mygrandparents albums.
You know the ones they had?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
yeah, I love it, so you have you.
You have their albums um, Ihave, I.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I somehow ended up being the keeper.
Well, georgia, and I kind ofcall it the keeper of the crypt.
Okay, we have a rollingsuitcase, a carry-on suitcase,
that has a bunch of photos andalbums and things from my
parents and there is from mymom's parents.
I don't really have too manyfrom my dad's parents.
(20:07):
My cousin Jenny has got allthose and she is a great
historian and she loves to getthem out and every once in a
while I'll get a package with abunch of photos in it or old
carts that my parents had sentto her.
You know our grandmother,because we, because we share
(20:29):
that, and I love seeing that oldstuff.
I have always loved history, soI find that so cool to look at
old things.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Okay, so, but current .
I'm asking this because I haveI don't know 9,000 photos in my
phone and I have not developedone over the last 10 years, but
that was, I mean, that's my dadin particular.
(21:02):
He was the one he loved photoalbums and scrapbooks and so
when he passed I mean there wereso many to go through and it
was actually overwhelming my momwas like what do I do with all
these?
And so I got to thinking aboutthat and preparing for tonight
(21:24):
in this conversation, because Ifeel like now we don't really do
that we don't go and get photosdeveloped and put them into
albums.
Like now we don't really dothat we don't go and get photos
developed and put them intoalbums.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I'll tell you, my youngest daughter has so many
photographs that she has takenfrom her phone and went and had
them printed out and she's gotthem in frames all over her room
, all over their house and stuff, and maybe it's coming back.
Maybe it's just us that have,maybe, you know, opted out I'm,
(21:55):
I'm halfway.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I every, I would say, year, maybe a little less.
I print everything.
I get pictures.
It's cheap to do.
I just did it not very long ago, um, and I put some in frames.
Otherwise I just have them in abox and so someday somebody's
going to have thousands of youknow pictures to dig through.
(22:17):
I even have some empty photoalbums that I bought, but I just
never get them into the photoalbum.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
I'll tell you from a trip that I took many years ago.
I clicked on a whole bunch ofour photos and I put them into a
Shutterfly book and I had anactual book made.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
And.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I think I'm going to do that.
I haven't done it yet.
Maybe I should do it on theplane ride to Italy.
From the pictures from France,yeah, from last year.
There you go From last year,because then it's not a photo
album.
That's what I find.
So I From last year.
Here you go From last year,because I cause then it's not a
photo album.
That's what I find.
So I find that tedious.
Of all the creative things Ilike to do, putting up, I'm just
(23:03):
too.
It's too much I could make.
That could be a full-time jobfor me.
Yeah, yeah, it's a lot yeah,yeah, yeah it's a lot, okay.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
So part of this conversation also is how do we
want to be remembered or what dowe want to be remembered for?
Have you so a lot of peoplethat?
I'm not just talking aboutwriting an obituary.
We're not necessarily talkingabout that, although I know a
(23:37):
lot of people write their ownobituary and have that all
wrapped up and ready to go,which I did.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
I did it.
Well, first I have a funnystory, so I thought I would kind
of cheat and use AI, you knowto do it.
So the funny part of this is Iget into.
You know, I've been using SnapAI.
I wrote in there, you know,write my obituary but leave, you
(24:09):
know, out the details for me tofill it and hit enter.
And it says I'm sorry I can'tdo that, but if you need someone
to talk to, you know, maybe youknow where it's going.
If you need someone to talk toand if you're having problems,
you know, maybe you can get help.
And it's like no, no, write mea sample obituary.
(24:31):
So yeah, write it.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Write an obituary template.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Yes, there we go yeah , I just didn't word that quite
right.
And a lesson for ai if you wantthe outcome to be good, you
have to the inputs gotta bepretty good too, yes.
I thought I was having a mentalday, oh gosh.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Well, it's good to know that there's, you know that
there's a computer looking outfor you.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yes, right, real helpful.
Do you need to talk to somebody?
No, oh well.
So yeah, I did write mine.
It was interesting and hard atthe same time.
You know, the part I thoughtwas the hardest is, you know the
.
What do you want to beremembered by?
You know what did you?
(25:21):
You know what will peopleremember you by?
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
I put in.
Oh, go ahead I put in oh, goahead, the.
I think people will beinterested to find out some of
the weird places I've lived,because I've lived in quite a
few places, which is kind offunny, but most people wouldn't
know that, but I don't know.
And my funny thing because Idecided to kind of make it funny
(25:52):
is things that I'm known for,and I've said this before my
ability to do almost anything,but do it very average in
ability.
So then I listed a few things Ilike to do, but pretty average
at it.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Are your cheesy potatoes in the list?
Speaker 4 (26:15):
No, I didn't even add your scotcheroos.
She was known for her cheesypotatoes and scotcheroos.
I'll have to add that no, I didnot even.
Well, if you don't, we willyeah that's fine.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Yeah, you can do that .
Matter of fact, youngest isserving cheesy potatoes to the
housemates tonight and had tocall me like four times again
about when do I do this?
How do I do that?
Yeah, I'm like stacy saysshredded potatoes are better
than cubed.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Okay and that's exactly what I used when I
delivered easter dinner to Amy.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
There were your cheesy potatoes yes, oh, and
that was the first thing todisappear.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Yeah, it is a good oddly good recipe.
Yes, I'll have to go back andedit my obituary.
There you go, and maybe that'sthe thing that we put in the
time capsule is.
You know, wouldn't you love tohave like your, you know,
grandma's recipe box, or you?
Speaker 1 (27:16):
know I've got them.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I know I have a few and I have a lot of my mom's,
but I think that's the thing weshould pass down, because you
said you know I'm assuming itwas Ava had to call you for the
recipe.
I bet we've given her therecipe five times.
She's got it, she's got it.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
And she takes a picture of it and sends it to me
.
She goes is this the one I'msupposed to use?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
Mine do the same thing.
They call me every time theyhave to make something.
It's why don't you just somehowsave it.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
I love that I get those little phone calls.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
So, I'm okay with it.
Yep, I before the Googles.
I remember calling my mom andso she'd answer and say mom got
a cooking question, and then youknow my dad would be somewhere
around it.
Kitty's got a cooking question,and I know I know how much that
meant to her that I was callingand I was asking a cooking
(28:13):
question.
So thanks sure yeah, yeah so thetopic of how do you want to be
remembered, what do you want tobe to be remembered for?
I from, and Bill and I actuallytalked about this at dinner
tonight.
I start from well, who are thepeople?
(28:35):
Who are the people that aregoing to remember me?
It's not like we're the Pope.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
It's very timely because the Pope just passed.
I mean it's a small circle.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
It's an important circle of friends, right, it's
the besties, it's the family andextended family, so that's not
a lot of people, um, so um, Ikind of went to again.
(29:09):
I think, just because I'm inthis rose colored time of my
life right now, I want to beremembered as somebody who lifts
other people up withauthenticity and sparkle and
(29:34):
helps people feel really greatabout themselves.
I think I I mean she could takethe sparkle out for Bo but I
mean that's a lot of you know,when you're parenting a young
20-something, you're helpingthem have the confidence that
they need to go and do what theyneed.
(29:55):
He needs to fly right.
Kid has not launched yet, soyou know, giving him the
confidence to do that.
And it's the piece of my jewelrybusiness that makes me the most
proud and the most happy.
The messages that I get frompeople on what the group means
(30:20):
to them.
First and foremost, it's notjewelry, what the group means to
them and the friendships thathave been developed People who
never would have known eachother and the friendships that
have been developed people whonever would have known each
other and then the confidencethat they get from wearing the
jewelry and buying the jewelry.
It's something I never expectedand that's central to how I
(30:46):
want to be remembered want to beremembered.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
I would hope people would remember that I love being
around people.
I love somebody I was listeningto described one of their
friends as a party pumper-upper,that anytime they came to an
occasion, an event, you knewthings were going to go, you
know that things were going tobe good, it was going to be fun,
(31:21):
that this person committed 100%to anything they got involved
with.
And I want to be that.
I want to be remembered forthat.
I love being in a group.
I love a good laugh.
Oh, there is nothing greater tome than to be able to share
things from the truly funny tothe sad, funny to the oh my God,
(31:46):
I can't believe this happenedwith a laugh.
I just feel that laughter isone of the most soothing, one of
the most healing things that wecan do with and for each other.
And I do that with the peoplethat I work with, the people
(32:08):
that I'm selling to the people,my kids.
One of my lovely daughterscalled and told me and said I
need to tell you this, but I'mhoping that you know.
And she kind of went on and shestarted telling me something
that had happened and she was,she goes.
I am equal parts horrified, andI laughed through the whole
(32:31):
telling.
She was really worried that Iwas going to be upset about
something and she goes.
You cannot believe how muchbetter I feel knowing that you
are laughing through this wholething.
And so it's not that I makelight of situations, because I
really do hear people and I andI can understand their anxiety
(32:52):
and their apprehension, but I sowant people to feel that they
are not alone, and mosteverything, just like every
conversation in our head, isworse than the real one.
Every situation that we've gonethrough, somebody else has
probably gone through it as well, and I just really would love
(33:15):
to be remembered as the person.
Like she's going to be on myside.
We're going to get a good laughout of this.
It's, it's going to be okay,and if I can do that, I, I, if I
am remembered that way, I willfeel like I've lived a
successful life.
Speaker 4 (33:34):
It's beautiful yeah, yes, very good.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I mean, this is kind of a feel-good episode.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I hope aren't all of ours a feel good episode maybe?
Speaker 2 (33:55):
not when we start talking about hot flashes which
we don't talk about no we don't.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
No politics, no religion, no menopause you know
what?
Speaker 2 (34:09):
now I want to watch Conclave it's so good.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
Yes, I watched it.
Oh, and I saw some uh statwhich I won't be able to repeat,
but but after the pope dying,the um, you know every
everybody's been watchingconclave now, so it's like gone
sky high and viewership becauseof that just to see it.
Yeah, I, without givinganything away, I'm, I don't know
(34:37):
what amy thinks, but I neversaw it coming.
What happened in the end?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
I didn't either, um I I.
I anticipated how the vote wasgoing to go, but I did not
anticipate.
Yeah, so, yes, it's so good.
So I saw something as we'retalking about conclave, I saw
something on threads that someparent was explaining to their
(35:06):
middle schooler all about how anew pope is elected, voted in,
whatever.
And they're like, wow, catholicschool must really.
You really studied that.
And the mom was like, no, danBrown, from all the books Stop.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I thought she was going to say no, I just watched
Conclave.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I know she was basically saying what was that?
Angels and Demons, and what wassome of the other books that
he's written?
All about the Vinci Code.
The Vinci Code, right, yeah.
And then I saw somebody else atcomics saying that there's no
way they could elect a womanpope, because they lost some
(35:52):
religious artifact 500 years agoand the first thing she'd do is
open a cupboard somewhere andfind it.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
All these men throughout the ages haven't been
able to find anything I can'tbend over and look Right in
front of you, move the stocksheets.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
There it is.
I thought that was kind offunny.
Oh my, I'm sorry.
See, there we go taking a verysad, sad event the passing of
the pope, and I'm, yes, making ajoke.
I'm not making a joke of it,I'm lightning the.
You know, yeah, I'm the buffer,so so stace.
(36:35):
Um, you said you've got, youwrote your obituary, kitty.
You got your list.
I don't, you know whatever sortof thing, any oddities that
you're putting in there.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Oddities.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Like you guys probably can't see it behind me,
but I have a photograph upthere of Joe Maur, mauer and
johan santana from the twinsfrom about I don't know 1999.
That that is one photo I haveup in my house.
(37:14):
I took the picture of them atspring training.
I think I should throw that inthere.
There'd be like what, what?
Speaker 4 (37:22):
your grandkids are gonna look at it and like who
are these?
Did my grandma date?
We'll follow that one?
Oh, yeah, sure, sure, she did.
They're both way too young so.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
I yeah, we'll follow that one, oh yeah sure.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I'm sure she did.
They're both way too young so Idon't know.
If there are oddities I'll haveto think about that.
I have kept shoot.
I was going to grab it andbring it down here.
I kept.
I think what is my very firstiPhone.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Oh, that would be awesome to throw in.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, and so that would have been 2008 when I got
it.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
You should also throw in some cords, just some random
cords, yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:11):
Yeah, enough of those .
Speaker 2 (38:13):
I don't know, just kind of looking around to see.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Yeah, those are good ideas.
Technology, things that havegone, technology that's gone by
the wayside, that you know.
You'd look at it and like whatdid this do so?
Speaker 3 (38:29):
like a regular watch that I still wear every single
day.
A.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Walkman.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
That you strap to your arm.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
The first?
Yeah, a lot of those kind ofthings.
The first, oh gosh, ipod, ipod,yeah, first iPod.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Or even the laptop we're using right right now.
Speaker 4 (38:59):
I'm sure would be so archaic yeah, I just threw
mallory's ipod little pink, youknow this big ipod in the
garbage.
She says I don't want to know,throw it away.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
So I said and I mean, when you think about it, all it
is is a flash drive.
Yeah, for the most part it's aflash drive with a little
directory on it.
It's, yeah, the tech, theinnovate, the technology,
innovation that we have seen inour lifetime.
What an 80 or 90 year old hasseen in their lifetime?
(39:32):
Oh my gosh, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Well, any other thoughts you guys on this topic?
Speaker 4 (39:49):
I just think it's a good one.
It was a good idea to thinkabout.
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
Yeah, and hopefully this sparks ideas Because it's
kind of a fun exercise.
I mean, like, if you're sittingaround with a bunch of friends,
throw the question out.
It's because I think it's kindof fun to just on the fly say,
oh okay, well, let's brainstorma little bit.
What would I put in?
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Yeah, and if you can't think of some fun, cool
things to put in or you don'thave an idea of how you want to
be remembered.
It is not too late.
Right to make changes.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yes, yep, exactly amen, sister.
Um, who's got a shot?
I?
Speaker 4 (40:40):
do.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
Oh my gosh amy does, she's excited speaking of amen
sisters, um, you guys, I um, youknow how we are all about
supporting women.
Yes, and a very, very goodfriend of the show has.
I want everybody to give her alisten.
(41:01):
It's very, you know.
I'm not going to say that thatshe copied us, because it's um,
she's hanging with some friendsand talking about stuff, you
know, and it's so hilarious.
Um, but amy poehler has got anew podcast called Good Hang and
I love it.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
Good Hang, good Hang.
Yeah, I think on Insta it'sGood Hang with Amy Yep, yep.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
She is.
I love her.
You know we love her.
She's a comedian I especiallylove she's done.
She's probably only done likefive or six there aren't too
many.
Of course, I love the first onewith Tina Fey, but one of the
most recent she did is withKatherine Hahn, and I adore
Katherine Hahn.
I just think she is so smartand so funny and a riot.
(41:54):
I think she burped like threetimes in the middle of the whole
podcast and then the two ofthem got to laughing so hard
they couldn't continue.
So it's our type of it's ourtype of listening yeah, it is I
think the one.
Speaker 4 (42:07):
The one I was watching today was jack.
Oh, I haven't seen that oneequally, equally as funny,
because they're just sillytogether was funny.
Yeah, that's a good one.
On a side note, this wasn't myshot, but did you know that?
Oh my gosh, I lost it.
(42:28):
Okay, so I'm gonna do my shot.
My shot is I I don't know ifthis is gonna work, work.
So Tartlet tubing mascara, ohOkay, and it's kind of a pink.
I've worn this for a long timeso I thought I would show this.
But the reason why I broughtthis up and you can get this at
(42:51):
Ulta I think it's not thecheapest, so I think it's like
$28 at Ulta.
So my favorite.
But here's my thing.
So you know the usual go on theInternet and you know you're
scrolling through stuff.
I saw an ad where the woman wastalking exactly about Tarte,
(43:14):
tartelette mascara, tubingmascara, and it looked just like
this and she was putting it onand she called it out and you
know below that where you do theshop now.
So I said, huh, wonder if I canget it over the you know,
online and see what the price is.
When you do that shop now ittakes you to a whole nother you
(43:35):
know, whole nother site.
The picture was a pinkish tube,didn't say tartlet anywhere on
it and I know that is one ofthose where it's, you know,
selling you the product thatisn't the product you know what
I mean, and I just get sofrustrated with that, yeah,
(43:56):
which I thought was interesting,considering they probably used
her video.
You know yep for this productand that is so frustrating
whenever I see ads whenever Isee ads or promos on facebook or
instagram.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
I'll go all the way out and I'll go to the actual
website and then search for theproducts.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Yeah, that happened to a lot.
That happened a lot with umGudrun GE designs, because she
does fabulous product videos andum especially overseas
companies would take clips ofher videos and it was her ring
in her hands and they're sellingtheir knockoff and it was a it
(44:41):
was a huge problem, so theoriginal product.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
So do they?
Do they have a legal team thattakes over then and goes after
them?
Speaker 3 (44:55):
You know, some of it is like you can't even tell who
the people are.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Yeah, you know that are doing it.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
But yeah, there's been some things that were that
happened, that she had to bringin the legal team to send some
letters and get some stuff down.
And you know, the one thing youcan do when you're on socials
and you see that you can reportthe ad.
Yeah, pretending to be somebody, they're not pretending to be
(45:26):
somebody they're not.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
Yeah, okay, yep, and I thought about my other thing,
and this is not a shot, it'sjust a question did you know
that mel robbins put out a newbook?
I heard about it for the firsttime this morning.
We'll have to do a little moreresearch.
Her new book is Let Me.
The first one was Let them.
(45:50):
The new one, just a bit, whatI'm getting is Let Me.
Where, giving yourself thepermission to you know, I don't
know set boundaries and thatkind of thing for yourself.
So, like I said, I don't know alot about it, but I'm sure
(46:12):
It'll be interesting.
So yeah, I didn't know that.
Let's see Me.
Neither.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
What about.
Okay, I did think of one thing,and I think this would be a fun
thing for all of us to do, so Ijust learned today that you can
have AI roast you.
Speaker 3 (46:34):
Oh, no, have you heard this?
Speaker 2 (46:36):
No, this is fun.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
I don't want AI to roast me, it's all in fun.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
It's all in fun.
So you pick a photo and I thinkit's hilarious when you pick,
like, a family photo.
So let's say I pick a photo,it's Bill Bo and I, or Bill Bo
and Mackenzie and I, so you puta photo into ChatGPT.
So you put a photo into ChatGPTand you know.
(47:02):
So I mean I would pick a goodphoto, maybe where expressions
are funny, or you know it's aphoto, you're not just all
sitting there like this, okay,and then the prompt is roast us,
(47:26):
basically.
So it's roast us, and then youcan set the vibe, so like, if
you want it to be just sort ofmild, you know a mild spicy.
If you want it to be medium, ifyou want to be you know like AI
, go all out like bird to crisp,roast us, um, and then it will
come back and it will and it'shilarious.
I think we should all do thisand post them on our page.
(47:47):
It's in fun, it's all in funokay, I'll go first and then
we'll follow.
I'll do it first, so I we'llfollow it.
I'll do it first, so I need tofind a photo.
Speaker 4 (47:59):
Yes, more to come on that, I guess We'll see.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Okay, the hilarious side of AI.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
All right?
Speaker 2 (48:08):
Well, you guys, have a good week, thank you.

week with more addictingconversations.
