Ever found yourself chuckling at the oddities of a Cabbage Patch-styled maternity ward or pondered the inner workings of an online cult? Strap in as Sister Shit takes you through a hilariously bewildering journey to Babyland General Hospital where Cole Sprouse nursed his post-breakup blues and cabbage babies are 'birthed' daily. Our adventure doesn't stop at the heartfelt dedication of Disney-like staff; we also peel back the layers of modern cult dynamics. From the entanglement of Twin Flames to the stark realities of off-grid community living, we're chasing the rabbit down every quirky, eye-opening corner of these fascinating worlds. Plus, we take a moment to reflect on the shared pandemic memories that united us all, from "Tiger King" to the surreal solidarity of lockdown.
As the candles on my 34th birthday cake flicker out, I'm sharing the personal epiphanies that come with the mid-30s territory. Join me as I revel in the newfound comfort of my own skin, not just metaphorically but through an evolved skincare routine that's as soothing as my cozy bedroom sanctuary. We'll muse over the surprising resilience of the Cabbage Patch Museum amidst a global pandemic, celebrate personal growth in the face of adversity, and perhaps inspire you to transform everyday routines into your own slice of luxury. So, whether you're a die-hard Cabbage Patch collector or just in need of a soulful giggle, this episode's got a little something for every listener.

Oh, okay, okay, I am, and I just I was going to like
to share with you.
I was going to tell Karen aboutit.
I was like, oh, I know about it.
I almost went.
So I was like, okay, well, whydon't you tell me about it,
cause I think you might knowmore about it.
I went about it Like a decadeago, okay.
(01:31):
When apparently it's gotten likea major facelift?
Yeah, Because when I learnedabout it it was like how is this
place still a thing Like?
What is keeping this placestill a thing, Like what is
keeping this place together?
And who is working here?
And are they ghosts Like?
(01:51):
And does anyone go?
And does anyone go?
I mean, like you look up thepictures and they were like
haunting, like really creepy,and I just Googled it and it's
like it's got a nice website,it's got a little logo, it's got
like I mean it looks like ahospital.
Yeah, yes, it sure does.
That what it looked like wheny'all went, when y'all we didn't
(02:15):
go.
Well, when y'all likeresearched it, looked into it.
So, yes, we go.
We used to go to the lake welike still sometimes do and we
went to this house.
That was near the cabbage patchmuseum.
Where is it again?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It's like randomly in Georgia.
Yes, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So our lake house was like 45 minutes from the lake
or something like that.
Okay, and I had just seen thatcoal sprouts.
This was at the time when I wasobsessed with coal sprouts
Because I was watching Riverdaleand I was like, obsessed with
him and Lily's relationship, rip, but she, they're just no
(02:57):
longer together.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
They're just no longer together.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And they weren't together, they had recently
broken up when he was at thecabbage patch museum because he
was there with another girl.
So he went.
He was there and he was postingall of these pictures of him at
the cabbage patch museum orhospital.
What is it called?
It's called the.
I looked it up but I kept it.
It's like the cabbage patchgeneral hospital or something.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yes, okay.
It's like baby land, generalhospital, baby land that's what
it is.
Which is weird to me that theydon't even have like cabbage
patch in the name.
I know it's baby land, Babyland general hospital and
Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Georgia.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yes, okay.
So I looked, I saw that he wasthere and I was like what the
hell?
And I like saw that it was inGeorgia and I was like that's
weird and but I didn't like lookinto it or anything.
And then the next week we wereat the lake and we were like
trying to find things to do andsomeone was like we should go to
the cabbage patch hospital andI was like what I had like just
(04:03):
learned about it, like a weekprior, because of cold.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, you learn about it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You're like, surely?
This place is like in Vegas orsomething or like in, like some
random desert town?
Yes, Not in Cleveland.
Georgia 45 minutes from ourlake house.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
But um, yeah, it's bizarre, like it's free, which
I'm like.
Who is paying for this hospital?
I think the guy, the Xavier,the inventor of the cabbage
patch stall.
He's got a whole whole story.
Yeah, I saw that on his website.
He's got like a whole gardendedicated to his mom.
(04:38):
But they like, literally once aday the cabbage tree thing will
like go into labor and have ababy and there's like attendance
, that like there's like a wholeskit they do.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yes, with nurses and everything.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Have the baby and then they take care of them, and
then they it's I mean Carolina.
It's a world I just did like awhole deep dive and it's like a
world I didn't know stillexisted 10 years later.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I just see what.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Xavier looks like I know who's going Cole Sprouse, I
guess, but baby land hospital.
I need to see what Xavier lookslike.
There's this like really bad,like poorly photoshopped picture
of like a young blonde girlthat's like in every marketing
(05:28):
pit photo of them.
I'm like surely she doesn'tactually work there, but maybe
she does.
You think she's a model?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I know I'm truly.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
who works there, who lives in that town?
I can only imagine like it's,like little old church ladies
that like they're like yep, Iwork at the old baby land.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Delivering cabbage pack delivering cabbages, but
they I mean it's a.
I think they take it veryseriously.
Like it looks like the verbiageis reminding me of like Disney,
how like.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
If you know a Disney princess, you're never like you
know the person that plays theDisney princess Not being real?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yes, Like I'd feels like everyone is like really
live and breathe the cabbagepatch life Like it feels, which
honestly kind of makes merespect it more.
I know.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I know less creepy.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
The story is wild on the website.
The story is on the website.
Got great little illustration.
I just don't know who's likekeeping this up and running.
Who's paying these nursessalary if admission is free?
Surely it's not a salary.
It's definitely hourly, don'tyou think?
Yeah, but like someone's gottamanage it.
(06:43):
Yeah, that's true.
There's a bath camp where youcan go and bathe your cabbage
patch, which?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
what is that?
In pale?
Do they have an?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Instagram, yeah, and it's good.
I just looked at it.
It's like I mean, it's justlike normal, like it looks like
it's like this thing is.
I was fully expecting theInstagram to be and was like,
honestly, before we got on thiscall doing a quick deep dive to
try to find the sinister side ofthis.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
And it wasn't to be found.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I mean, it's like kids playing with dolls, like
it's very normal.
And then, like 10 years ago,when I found out about this
place, it was around the timethat there was like that show
about like my secret obsessionor whatever, and have you ever
seen the footage of the adultsthat get together with their
cabbage patches and I go to aplayground like someone has
(07:36):
built cabbage patch sizeplayground equipment in their
house and they all go to theirhouse and they're like putting
it on the swings and they'relike all playing with their
cabbage patch dolls like they'retheir own children.
Oh, I was trying to find more ofthat kind of stuff and
apparently that's like I mean.
I'm sure those people stillexist, but I that's not
happening and they're.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Facebook group is private.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I almost requested to join Wait, can you purpose of
this episode, but I think Ididn't have enough time to get.
They wouldn't have.
I don't think they would havebelieved me.
They're like, pretty cute, notgoing to lie the cabbage patch.
I know they're creepy dolls andthey're winning me over Dearing
ones, and they're prettyendearing, I know I want to know
(08:16):
more about Xavier.
Yeah, did you find a picture?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Did you read?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
anything about him, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I did.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I just read the fictitious story about him and
how he discovered cabbage patchdolls.
Yeah, in the in the woods ofCleveland, georgia, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, I think that womandiscovering the tablets Sorry,
that was me, okay, I'm like, oh,I'm like, oh, I'm like, oh,
(08:43):
okay, he's.
His dad died when he was fiveand it's traumatic car accident.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
He met Martha Now when Thomas Nelson Thomas had a
craft fair in 1976 and asked herto supply him with dolls to
sell in Georgia where he livedand worked.
Thomas briefly let him sell herdoll babies, but stopped.
Thomas then sued Roberts.
Oh, we have a bad one andundisclosed amount out of the
(09:12):
case was settled out of court.
Xavier Roberts, he tried tosteal the design from her.
Yeah, he like he met her at acraft fair and was like, can I
have some of your dolls to sellit in Georgia?
And then she like made him stopand then sued him for it.
And then in 1978, he createdhis own design and licensed the
dolls for mass production.
(09:33):
And then he traveled the U?
S attending craft fair sellingthese cabbage match kids.
How much is he worth?
Oh, hold on, they have no jobsopen, unfortunately.
Okay, xavier Roberts net worth.
(09:53):
This is so bizarre.
Did you have cabbage patch kids?
I feel like they were more ofan 80s thing.
I they were like an 80s baby toyand I I jumped straight to the
American girls oh, net worth of50 million Dang.
I bet that lady he stole thedesign from is really kicking
(10:15):
herself.
I know, I know, wow, 50 millionMaking cabbage patches here.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'm just like I know right, I'm like we got a patent
Some shit, what.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
We got a patent, some shit.
I know.
Oh my gosh, we need a milliondollar idea.
Are people still buying cabbagepatch kid?
Can you like find them at thestore?
Yeah, I just.
You can buy it.
Yeah, I think Walmart had.
I just did like a.
I think Walmart still sellsthem.
You can buy handmade ones atthe cabbage patch hospital for
(10:54):
$300 a pop.
Oh, so that's where they'remaking their money.
I don't, but there's only likeseven available at a time.
They're like handmade by peoplein Cleveland.
Oh, so everyone in this townhas bought into the cabbage
patch life.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It seems.
Is it a cold?
Wouldn't that be cool?
Would be cool, but I don't knowthat.
I would join that cleanreputation on the on the
interwebs.
If you were to join a cold,yeah, which one would you join?
Oh, okay, love this question.
Um, yeah, girl, I don't knowwhich one would you join.
(11:34):
I mean, well, now I'm like thecabbage patch one.
Well, that, are we doing?
One we know exists, or like onethat we think could be one?
Let's do one that could be one,because if it really does exist
, it might be problematic.
I mean that most of them are,most colts are a pretty problem.
Problem, I don't know you wouldjoin the cabbage patch colt.
(11:58):
I mean that wouldn't be myfirst choice.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Who's the colt?
Leader of the tree.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, the mother tree .
Speaker 1 (12:04):
The mother tree, that's the cabbage once a day.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, that poor lady is probably worn out.
I mean, it's a tree.
Oh, oh, my gosh.
Yeah, I think I would.
That would be on my list ofcolts that I would join what's?
The best colt documentaryyou've watched of late?
Oh man, the Twin Flames oneblew my frickin' mind, did it In
(12:29):
the way that I was just like Ifelt so sad, yeah, and like just
the way that these people Didyou watch the?
Mother one.
No, I haven't watched that one.
I didn't finish it I was so icky, but I Twin Flames.
Okay, this is what I'm gonnasay.
They're idiots.
They're completely total idiots, I know because, this is the
thing Most colts are in person,where you're, like you know,
(12:55):
only living.
Yes, if you leave, you havenobody.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
This one offers like nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
And this was like online and I get brainwashing as
like a powerful thing.
But I just feel like so and Iknow that, like you could argue,
anything you do in a colt isvoluntary, but then you're being
brainwashed Like was itvoluntary, but I just feel like
the fact that it all happenedonline yeah, I don't ever fault
(13:23):
anyone that is in a colt becauseI know it's like people.
They prey on people who likeneed community and like need
vulnerability and all this.
But, like, I just feel like itwould be so much easier to just
like not shine up, sign up tothe online meetings.
I know this is stupid, but whatlike?
What was the draw?
(13:44):
Like why did people?
They just really believe theTwin Flame thing.
I genuinely think it was likethey believe they wanted it so
bad and believed it because theyjust like and they were hearing
testimonials from these peoplethat were like it worked for me.
It was like one couple twocouples If you count the leaders
which she was on some heavyduty painkillers, I think.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Well, and the?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
whole thing with how they like thought that they were
going to have a baby, yeah, andthat it was going to be their
like third Twin Flame and thatit could like the baby.
they knew it was going to be agirl.
It would only be allowed toever have sex with God.
But they were God.
But then, yes, it was sofreaking weird.
(14:30):
I know it was weird and I dofeel too.
I've had like a particular ickabout him because I just felt,
like with most cultsdocumentaries I've watched, I
feel like the leader is drinkingtheir own Kool-Aid.
Oh, and he was.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
And I feel like he got off those.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Zoom calls and was like counting his money.
Yes, me too, which I thinkother cult leaders most do the
same thing, but I feel like theylike also like.
I think he like would probablyhave outwardly said that his
followers are like idiots basedon his attitude.
Yes, like I don't think hegenuinely believed these people
were going to find love.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, I don't think so Through this program.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Did you watch the to Kool documentary about the
female orgasm one?
No, I can't remember what itwas called, but it was so
interesting, like yeah, I don'tknow, I actually don't really
remember details from it, I justremember it was like lots of,
it, was like very male, heavyMmm.
(15:30):
I think was that it, or maybethe twin flame one was like lots
of men and Not enough women,and so they they started being
like, oh, your twin flamesactually a dude because they're
like oh enough girls?
No, so that happened, but it wastoo many girls Remember okay,
then that must have been theopposite, with the to be coming
orgasm one, because they werelike a lot of guys like wanted
(15:53):
to join, because they were justlike doing sexual stuff and then
yeah, weren't enough.
Yeah, I don't know, it's all soweird.
Mom and I watched this onewhere it was like basically
deciding if it was a cult or not.
It's like these people out inOregon or somewhere that have
all this land and during thepandemic they were like, let's
do communal, living off the grid, okay.
(16:15):
But things like started to getweird because they like went
viral on TikTok.
So then all these people werelike showing up to join this
cult based on TikTok, becausepeople were just like wanting to
get out of society, yeah, butthe leaders were.
So it was just like I I didn'twatch it all the way through, I
(16:36):
kind of dropped off, but itHonestly so people trying to
like create a society and itjust like was hard, which like,
yeah right, I know I was afriend, it was it Christian was
like Christians.
No, because I had a friend.
One of my friends was tellingme like my friend in COVID moved
(16:58):
out off the grid and it's likestarted using all this like very
specific verbiage and it's likeyou know, like it's all under
this guise of like communalChristian living.
But she was like I wouldn't besurprised at all if, like, five
years down the road, they'relike stuck in a cult because it
was like like very and not likefundamentalist Christian, just
(17:20):
like very specific type ofbeliever like and Like they.
I don't know, but I'm I neededinterest to touch in with her
and see what's going on, becauseI'm very curious what has she?
She wasn't in it.
She knew some.
Yeah, she had a friend that shewas like I Am okay, I like
don't know what's going on withher.
Okay, you like that happen upwith a lot of people in COVID,
(17:43):
though, I know.
I think people were just likedesperate for something like
yeah, collection.
Also like can we talk about howCOVID was four years ago?
I Like that is like itliterally would have started
next month four years ago.
Yeah, actually my 30th birthday.
It was two weeks before mybirthday's tomorrow.
(18:06):
Oh, my birthday's today.
Yes, oh my gosh, yes, happybirthday Mary, oh my gosh ago.
On this day we are celebratingmy 30th birthday With, and I had
no, and I got a tattoo that hadmy was like the date of my 30th
birthday, without knowing thatI would forever have on my body
(18:26):
the year that everything.
I covered started, I know twoweeks later oh.
Weird, oh so weird.
Covered was.
So we were talking about today.
In the car I were like Iremember Tyger.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Remember.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Tyger King and the way that it like united us as a
like as we were going throughour very first ever pandemic.
Mm-hmm, I know I'd like have.
Now I've noticed that like Inow I think if like someone's
like, oh, in 2019, I'm likebefore, yeah, pre-covid, and
(19:02):
then it's like 2023.
It's like recently, but like2020 to 2022 in my brain is
almost like off of the timeline,yeah, like I don't feel like
anything and like that's socrazy.
I mean I was raising a baby,like I had like I know it was
like these very-.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Same.
We had both had, you had likeyeah, we were both, and it's
just like you had almost oneyear old and I had a six month
old, yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And so it's just so weird because I just feel like
those years to me like are likeplucked out of my timeline of
life a little bit.
They like, they're like alittle detour from like what was
, from my trajectory of life.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh it's so weird.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
It's so weird I don't know how to like reconcile
those years into like what.
Actually I don't know.
I think I just like am indenial about them.
I know, I know it was sobizarre and I just I can like I
have a couple memories of COVIDbut then, like a lot of it is so
mush together, like I feel likeso much of it was a blur.
(20:09):
But you know what that's sofunny, that you're like four
years ago, cause I feel like Ithink maybe now we're finally
entering the year, the timeframethat we can be.
Like that was officially likein the past.
I mean, I know it's stillaffecting our world and it's
still a thing and it hasn't goneaway completely, but like I
think we can now all comfortablybe like that was an event that
(20:33):
happened previously not onethat's like currently affecting
our day to day.
And I don't work in the medicalfields, I don't know, but I just
, I don't know it feels like acomfortable amount of distance.
Now, I think is what I'm tryingto say yeah, for the first time
since it happened it's like itwas four years ago and I just
like feel like the I used towake up every day and like check
(20:56):
the COVID numbers.
Oh, I never did that.
And now, oh, I like did majorly.
It panicked me, I don't knowwhy that was yeah, I didn't.
Why I felt like I needed to dothat.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I think I just so badly wanted to see them go down
, so I just like would check allthe time.
That's funny, I didn't knowthat.
Yeah, I mean, I think mostpeople did, I just I didn't.
Oh, so nuts.
But now your ground talks Likecan you imagine, can you believe
the cabbage patch museum madeit survive of all the businesses
(21:31):
that didn't make it throughCOVID.
The cabbage patch museum isn'tonly surviving, it's thriving,
it's.
It got a facelift.
It got a frickin' facelift.
That is so nice.
Maybe they were like.
I bet they didn't requiremasking.
I bet they were booming duringthe rain.
Oh, gosh probably it was inCleveland, georgia.
(21:52):
It was about some of their bestyears.
Yeah, they were like we don'trequire masks here.
The cabbage kids are immune.
This is one hospital thatdoesn't require what was it
called?
Pee something what the COVIDpreventative stuff Don't
(22:13):
remember.
Oh my gosh man, wild, wildtimes.
I wish that the Cabbage PatchMuseum was a little bit more
active on socials so I could seewhat their day-to-day looks
like.
No, I think that's part of theallure.
It's a little mysterious, Iknow.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Oh, if we can't see it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Cold Sprouts definitely shared a lot, but it
all just seemed so strange.
Was that pre-face lift too?
Because that footage is wild.
It's very creepy.
I can't remember if it waspre-face lift or not.
Man, but man, what a time.
(22:57):
Well, we've been all over themap.
Today we have Happy birthday.
Thank you, so excited.
What are you hoping for in your34th year?
I don't know.
(23:17):
I just feel like I'm reallysettling into my 30s and it
feels good, like I feel like.
I am like 30s are great.
I'm officially mid 30s, whichfeels a little weird, but like
Not quite, 34 is not mid is it.
Yeah, 34 to 36 is mid and then37 and up is upper right, ok, ok
(23:39):
.
Broken up into thirds that'show I've always seen it, yeah,

But one of our friends theother day was like I think I
posted something about settlinginto my 30s and I was doing my
eye patches and bedtime routineat 7.30 at night and our friend
was like she messaged me.
(23:59):
It was like gosh, do you haveany tips for your 20s?
I'm not even close to figuringit out and I think what I'm like
?
I just don't think I feel likeyour 20s.
You don't figure it out, youjust like get through them, make
them live it up, because I feellike it wasn't until I turned

Or what everyone's doing, orwhatever.
I'm feeling, yeah, yeah, soanyway, I don't know, I don't.
(25:09):
Yeah, my wish for 34 is that Ijust continue on that path.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yes, yes, love to see it so more skincare you a
little more skincare.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I'm more eye patches in bed at 7.30.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, I, my nightstand is like I am actually
like very much getting intolike a little groove with my
nightstand, like I have got likea hand cream, I've got like
I've got like a little tray thathas my chapstick, my hands, my
hand cream, a couple of littlelike knickknacks from travel.
(25:44):
I feel like my nightstand hasbecome like my new little like
cozy spot, yeah, which I love.
I know every night I get in bedI take my magnies, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I put on my chapstick .
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I've got my water bottle.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah, the water bottle.
I'm like I just love to likehang out in my bed now, and I've
never been.
I've always like been a hangoutin the living room until I'm
ready to pass out, and now I'mlike I'm just going to like lay
in my bed for two hours and like, yeah, just like enjoy my
night-tomb time routine.
I know, okay, the girl that welove on Instagram that like
makes her life a luxurious hotel.
(26:18):
Did you see that?
She keeps all of her skincareon a cart?
Yes, so that is, she doesn'tfeel like doing her skincare
routine in the bathroom.
She can just do it in bed.
Yeah, what are your thoughts onthat?
I know, I did see that and Iheard what is her name.
She's amazing Like AnnieVanderbiet.
Yeah, well, I have to post oneof her posts because I like on
(26:38):
Instagram, because I, she's likemy, she is like my self care
inspo right now.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
She's like the most.
Yes, and I love it.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I mean, she is making her life a five star resort.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I love it, I like your board.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
She's got a great Amazon and all of her things are
like shoppable on Amazon.
She would be horrified if shecame to stay at my house as a
guest.
I know I feel like I would neverleave my house if it was like
her, but anyway so yes, I didsee she has a little cart that
tucks in next to her sink or shecan roll it next to her bed and
do her like night time routine.
(27:14):
So what would you do that?
I thought like that for me.
I was like I don't think I needto do that, that's no.
I don't have enough skin careto make that feel worth it.
Like, yeah, I literally justlike wash my face, put on my
serum and my retinol and my likelotion and my teeth and call it
a day.
Yeah, but like I wouldn't mindhaving like a little caddy that
(27:37):
fits in my drawer.
Especially if I pop it out andput it on my nightstand and like
watch TV?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And if you were?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
having wash us and you wanted like a night that you
wanted to do like a good, likeyeah, I'm going to do a mask,
I'm going to do this, like thatwould be nice.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Mm, hmm.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
That would be nice.
Yeah, so that's my plan for 34.
Mid 30 things.
It's going to be great.
I, um, yeah, really going tojust lean into that.
I love it.
I love it, um, but that's it,okay.
Well, what are you going to dotoday?
(28:15):
Um, I think I'm going to well,right now it's the day before,
and I haven't decided if I'mtaking my yoga class in the
morning.
Okay so may or may not take a6am yoga.
Definitely want to get my nailsdone.
Yes, maybe get lunch with you.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
And then I have no other plans for the rest of the
day.
So I don't know, gonna, makeyou or get you your favorite
takeout?
I don't know, I haven't asked.
I'm keeping my expectations lowjust in case.
But yeah, I feel bad cause youknow how most people are like
make me my favorite thing for mybirthday and I'm like no, I
want Jimmy John.
Yeah, I know we've done a fewtake.
(29:03):
We did take out for Valentine'sDay.
So I don't, I don't know weshould plan a dinner probably.
I don't know.
I know that's another thing Ifeel like with every year
birthday it just become less andless like, like I didn't know,
I feel like, yes, I am literallytoday.
I said what are you going to dofor your birthday tomorrow?
And you're like tomorrow's mybirthday, like you'd completely
(29:25):
forgot.
I know, I know I had.
It was weird, but kind of nice.
I prefer it that way.
I like used to feel so, yeah,like anticipation about my
birthday, and then there's likeso many expectations.
Yeah, but I think it's nicebecause then anything that does
happen just feels like an actualgift.
(29:46):
Yes, yes, I agree, but yeah,maybe I do need to plan
afternoon, because I do get downin the dumps.
I know you need to do.
Hopefully the weather sunny soyou can just, like it's true,
stroll around in the sun.
I know, okay, well, yeah, I gotto figure that out.
I got to figure out if I'msigning up for yoga.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
And you thought we'd be a great start to school, so
I've got to figure that out.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Oh, so you could sleep in.
I know, I think that's.
My dilemma is like I thinkmaybe I'll sleep in and let him
just do that.
I think.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I just decided every day this weekend.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
I sure did Tell nine Me.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, was that okay?
Yeah, it was totally fine.
I just don't know how you do itI don't know.
I mean I've been staying uplate, I've been like I stayed up
like scrolling, and then lastnight I did not sleep well at
all.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
I was like my mind was full on.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Last night I my mind was like rolling around too,
because we ended our eveningstalking with Angelo Garcia on
Instagram, and that was a rollercoaster.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
It was it was, if you guys don't know who, angelo
Garcia is.

It's from the 80s.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
He's not doing great.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
He's hanging in there , but he's doing his best.
He's doing his best, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
So, anyway.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Wait, I feel bad.
Were you taking care of my kidsat nine o'clock in the morning?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
No, gosh, I didn't do anything, I had a leisurely
drink coffee and ate oatmealOkay, great.
While they watch TV.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah, I slept in, so I just don't know how you do it.
I like my internal internalalarm is like nine is my max
nine 30s sometimes so like nineis like sleeping in for me.

Okay, you want to talk aboutthe cabbage patch museum.
I don't wondering, did you?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
just learn about this ?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
No, I've known about it for years.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
We've just never talked about it.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Oh, okay, okay, I am, and I just I was going to like
to share with you.
I was going to tell Karen aboutit.
I was like, oh, I know about it.
I almost went.
So I was like, okay, well, whydon't you tell me about it,
cause I think you might knowmore about it.
I went about it Like a decadeago, okay.
(01:31):
When apparently it's gotten likea major facelift?
Yeah, Because when I learnedabout it it was like how is this
place still a thing Like?
What is keeping this placestill a thing, Like what is
keeping this place together?
And who is working here?
And are they ghosts Like?
(01:51):
And does anyone go?
And does anyone go?
I mean, like you look up thepictures and they were like
haunting, like really creepy,and I just Googled it and it's
like it's got a nice website,it's got a little logo, it's got
like I mean it looks like ahospital.
Yeah, yes, it sure does.
That what it looked like wheny'all went, when y'all we didn't
(02:15):
go.
Well, when y'all likeresearched it, looked into it.
So, yes, we go.
We used to go to the lake welike still sometimes do and we
went to this house.
That was near the cabbage patchmuseum.
Where is it again?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
It's like randomly in Georgia.
Yes, okay.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So our lake house was like 45 minutes from the lake
or something like that.
Okay, and I had just seen thatcoal sprouts.
This was at the time when I wasobsessed with coal sprouts
Because I was watching Riverdaleand I was like, obsessed with
him and Lily's relationship, rip, but she, they're just no
(02:57):
longer together.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
They're just no longer together.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And they weren't together, they had recently
broken up when he was at thecabbage patch museum because he
was there with another girl.
So he went.
He was there and he was postingall of these pictures of him at
the cabbage patch museum orhospital.
What is it called?
It's called the.
I looked it up but I kept it.
It's like the cabbage patchgeneral hospital or something.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yes, okay.
It's like baby land, generalhospital, baby land that's what
it is.
Which is weird to me that theydon't even have like cabbage
patch in the name.
I know it's baby land, Babyland general hospital and
Cleveland.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Georgia.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yes, okay.
So I looked, I saw that he wasthere and I was like what the
hell?
And I like saw that it was inGeorgia and I was like that's
weird and but I didn't like lookinto it or anything.
And then the next week we wereat the lake and we were like
trying to find things to do andsomeone was like we should go to
the cabbage patch hospital andI was like what I had like just
(04:03):
learned about it, like a weekprior, because of cold.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah, you learn about it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
You're like, surely?
This place is like in Vegas orsomething or like in, like some
random desert town?
Yes, Not in Cleveland.
Georgia 45 minutes from ourlake house.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
But um, yeah, it's bizarre, like it's free, which
I'm like.
Who is paying for this hospital?
I think the guy, the Xavier,the inventor of the cabbage
patch stall.
He's got a whole whole story.
Yeah, I saw that on his website.
He's got like a whole gardendedicated to his mom.
(04:38):
But they like, literally once aday the cabbage tree thing will
like go into labor and have ababy and there's like attendance
, that like there's like a wholeskit they do.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yes, with nurses and everything.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Have the baby and then they take care of them, and
then they it's I mean Carolina.
It's a world I just did like awhole deep dive and it's like a
world I didn't know stillexisted 10 years later.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I just see what.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Xavier looks like I know who's going Cole Sprouse, I
guess, but baby land hospital.
I need to see what Xavier lookslike.
There's this like really bad,like poorly photoshopped picture
of like a young blonde girlthat's like in every marketing
(05:28):
pit photo of them.
I'm like surely she doesn'tactually work there, but maybe
she does.
You think she's a model?
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I know I'm truly.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
who works there, who lives in that town?
I can only imagine like it's,like little old church ladies
that like they're like yep, Iwork at the old baby land.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Delivering cabbage pack delivering cabbages, but
they I mean it's a.
I think they take it veryseriously.
Like it looks like the verbiageis reminding me of like Disney,
how like.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
If you know a Disney princess, you're never like you
know the person that plays theDisney princess Not being real?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yes, Like I'd feels like everyone is like really
live and breathe the cabbagepatch life Like it feels, which
honestly kind of makes merespect it more.
I know.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I know less creepy.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
The story is wild on the website.
The story is on the website.
Got great little illustration.
I just don't know who's likekeeping this up and running.
Who's paying these nursessalary if admission is free?
Surely it's not a salary.
It's definitely hourly, don'tyou think?
Yeah, but like someone's gottamanage it.
(06:43):
Yeah, that's true.
There's a bath camp where youcan go and bathe your cabbage
patch, which?
Speaker 1 (06:51):
what is that?
In pale?
Do they have an?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Instagram, yeah, and it's good.
I just looked at it.
It's like I mean, it's justlike normal, like it looks like
it's like this thing is.
I was fully expecting theInstagram to be and was like,
honestly, before we got on thiscall doing a quick deep dive to
try to find the sinister side ofthis.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
And it wasn't to be found.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I mean, it's like kids playing with dolls, like
it's very normal.
And then, like 10 years ago,when I found out about this
place, it was around the timethat there was like that show
about like my secret obsessionor whatever, and have you ever
seen the footage of the adultsthat get together with their
cabbage patches and I go to aplayground like someone has
(07:36):
built cabbage patch sizeplayground equipment in their
house and they all go to theirhouse and they're like putting
it on the swings and they'relike all playing with their
cabbage patch dolls like they'retheir own children.
Oh, I was trying to find more ofthat kind of stuff and
apparently that's like I mean.
I'm sure those people stillexist, but I that's not
happening and they're.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Facebook group is private.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I almost requested to join Wait, can you purpose of
this episode, but I think Ididn't have enough time to get.
They wouldn't have.
I don't think they would havebelieved me.
They're like, pretty cute, notgoing to lie the cabbage patch.
I know they're creepy dolls andthey're winning me over Dearing
ones, and they're prettyendearing, I know I want to know
(08:16):
more about Xavier.
Yeah, did you find a picture?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Did you read?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
anything about him, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
I did.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I just read the fictitious story about him and
how he discovered cabbage patchdolls.
Yeah, in the in the woods ofCleveland, georgia, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, I think that womandiscovering the tablets Sorry,
that was me, okay, I'm like, oh,I'm like, oh, I'm like, oh,
(08:43):
okay, he's.
His dad died when he was fiveand it's traumatic car accident.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
He met Martha Now when Thomas Nelson Thomas had a
craft fair in 1976 and asked herto supply him with dolls to
sell in Georgia where he livedand worked.
Thomas briefly let him sell herdoll babies, but stopped.
Thomas then sued Roberts.
Oh, we have a bad one andundisclosed amount out of the
(09:12):
case was settled out of court.
Xavier Roberts, he tried tosteal the design from her.
Yeah, he like he met her at acraft fair and was like, can I
have some of your dolls to sellit in Georgia?
And then she like made him stopand then sued him for it.
And then in 1978, he createdhis own design and licensed the
dolls for mass production.
(09:33):
And then he traveled the U?
S attending craft fair sellingthese cabbage match kids.
How much is he worth?
Oh, hold on, they have no jobsopen, unfortunately.
Okay, xavier Roberts net worth.
(09:53):
This is so bizarre.
Did you have cabbage patch kids?
I feel like they were more ofan 80s thing.
I they were like an 80s baby toyand I I jumped straight to the
American girls oh, net worth of50 million Dang.
I bet that lady he stole thedesign from is really kicking
(10:15):
herself.
I know, I know, wow, 50 millionMaking cabbage patches here.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I'm just like I know right, I'm like we got a patent
Some shit, what.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
We got a patent, some shit.
I know.
Oh my gosh, we need a milliondollar idea.
Are people still buying cabbagepatch kid?
Can you like find them at thestore?
Yeah, I just.
You can buy it.
Yeah, I think Walmart had.
I just did like a.
I think Walmart still sellsthem.
You can buy handmade ones atthe cabbage patch hospital for
(10:54):
$300 a pop.
Oh, so that's where they'remaking their money.
I don't, but there's only likeseven available at a time.
They're like handmade by peoplein Cleveland.
Oh, so everyone in this townhas bought into the cabbage
patch life.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It seems.
Is it a cold?
Wouldn't that be cool?
Would be cool, but I don't knowthat.
I would join that cleanreputation on the on the
interwebs.
If you were to join a cold,yeah, which one would you join?
Oh, okay, love this question.
Um, yeah, girl, I don't knowwhich one would you join.
(11:34):
I mean, well, now I'm like thecabbage patch one.
Well, that, are we doing?
One we know exists, or like onethat we think could be one?
Let's do one that could be one,because if it really does exist
, it might be problematic.
I mean that most of them are,most colts are a pretty problem.
Problem, I don't know you wouldjoin the cabbage patch colt.
(11:58):
I mean that wouldn't be myfirst choice.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Who's the colt?
Leader of the tree.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, the mother tree .
Speaker 1 (12:04):
The mother tree, that's the cabbage once a day.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah, that poor lady is probably worn out.
I mean, it's a tree.
Oh, oh, my gosh.
Yeah, I think I would.
That would be on my list ofcolts that I would join what's?
The best colt documentaryyou've watched of late?
Oh man, the Twin Flames oneblew my frickin' mind, did it In
(12:29):
the way that I was just like Ifelt so sad, yeah, and like just
the way that these people Didyou watch the?
Mother one.
No, I haven't watched that one.
I didn't finish it I was so icky, but I Twin Flames.
Okay, this is what I'm gonnasay.
They're idiots.
They're completely total idiots, I know because, this is the
thing Most colts are in person,where you're, like you know,
(12:55):
only living.
Yes, if you leave, you havenobody.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
This one offers like nothing.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
And this was like online and I get brainwashing as
like a powerful thing.
But I just feel like so and Iknow that, like you could argue,
anything you do in a colt isvoluntary, but then you're being
brainwashed Like was itvoluntary, but I just feel like
the fact that it all happenedonline yeah, I don't ever fault
(13:23):
anyone that is in a colt becauseI know it's like people.
They prey on people who likeneed community and like need
vulnerability and all this.
But, like, I just feel like itwould be so much easier to just
like not shine up, sign up tothe online meetings.
I know this is stupid, but whatlike?
What was the draw?
(13:44):
Like why did people?
They just really believe theTwin Flame thing.
I genuinely think it was likethey believe they wanted it so
bad and believed it because theyjust like and they were hearing
testimonials from these peoplethat were like it worked for me.
It was like one couple twocouples If you count the leaders
which she was on some heavyduty painkillers, I think.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Well, and the?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
whole thing with how they like thought that they were
going to have a baby, yeah, andthat it was going to be their
like third Twin Flame and thatit could like the baby.
they knew it was going to be agirl.
It would only be allowed toever have sex with God.
But they were God.
But then, yes, it was sofreaking weird.
(14:30):
I know it was weird and I dofeel too.
I've had like a particular ickabout him because I just felt,
like with most cultsdocumentaries I've watched, I
feel like the leader is drinkingtheir own Kool-Aid.
Oh, and he was.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
And I feel like he got off those.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Zoom calls and was like counting his money.
Yes, me too, which I thinkother cult leaders most do the
same thing, but I feel like theylike also like.
I think he like would probablyhave outwardly said that his
followers are like idiots basedon his attitude.
Yes, like I don't think hegenuinely believed these people
were going to find love.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, I don't think so Through this program.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Did you watch the to Kool documentary about the
female orgasm one?
No, I can't remember what itwas called, but it was so
interesting, like yeah, I don'tknow, I actually don't really
remember details from it, I justremember it was like lots of,
it, was like very male, heavyMmm.
(15:30):
I think was that it, or maybethe twin flame one was like lots
of men and Not enough women,and so they they started being
like, oh, your twin flamesactually a dude because they're
like oh enough girls?
No, so that happened, but it wastoo many girls Remember okay,
then that must have been theopposite, with the to be coming
orgasm one, because they werelike a lot of guys like wanted
(15:53):
to join, because they were justlike doing sexual stuff and then
yeah, weren't enough.
Yeah, I don't know, it's all soweird.
Mom and I watched this onewhere it was like basically
deciding if it was a cult or not.
It's like these people out inOregon or somewhere that have
all this land and during thepandemic they were like, let's
do communal, living off the grid, okay.
(16:15):
But things like started to getweird because they like went
viral on TikTok.
So then all these people werelike showing up to join this
cult based on TikTok, becausepeople were just like wanting to
get out of society, yeah, butthe leaders were.
So it was just like I I didn'twatch it all the way through, I
(16:36):
kind of dropped off, but itHonestly so people trying to
like create a society and itjust like was hard, which like,
yeah right, I know I was afriend, it was it Christian was
like Christians.
No, because I had a friend.
One of my friends was tellingme like my friend in COVID moved
(16:58):
out off the grid and it's likestarted using all this like very
specific verbiage and it's likeyou know, like it's all under
this guise of like communalChristian living.
But she was like I wouldn't besurprised at all if, like, five
years down the road, they'relike stuck in a cult because it
was like like very and not likefundamentalist Christian, just
(17:20):
like very specific type ofbeliever like and Like they.
I don't know, but I'm I neededinterest to touch in with her
and see what's going on, becauseI'm very curious what has she?
She wasn't in it.
She knew some.
Yeah, she had a friend that shewas like I Am okay, I like
don't know what's going on withher.
Okay, you like that happen upwith a lot of people in COVID,
(17:43):
though, I know.
I think people were just likedesperate for something like
yeah, collection.
Also like can we talk about howCOVID was four years ago?
I Like that is like itliterally would have started
next month four years ago.
Yeah, actually my 30th birthday.
It was two weeks before mybirthday's tomorrow.
(18:06):
Oh, my birthday's today.
Yes, oh my gosh, yes, happybirthday Mary, oh my gosh ago.
On this day we are celebratingmy 30th birthday With, and I had
no, and I got a tattoo that hadmy was like the date of my 30th
birthday, without knowing thatI would forever have on my body
(18:26):
the year that everything.
I covered started, I know twoweeks later oh.
Weird, oh so weird.
Covered was.
So we were talking about today.
In the car I were like Iremember Tyger.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Remember.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Tyger King and the way that it like united us as a
like as we were going throughour very first ever pandemic.
Mm-hmm, I know I'd like have.
Now I've noticed that like Inow I think if like someone's
like, oh, in 2019, I'm likebefore, yeah, pre-covid, and
(19:02):
then it's like 2023.
It's like recently, but like2020 to 2022 in my brain is
almost like off of the timeline,yeah, like I don't feel like
anything and like that's socrazy.
I mean I was raising a baby,like I had like I know it was
like these very-.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Same.
We had both had, you had likeyeah, we were both, and it's
just like you had almost oneyear old and I had a six month
old, yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And so it's just so weird because I just feel like
those years to me like are likeplucked out of my timeline of
life a little bit.
They like, they're like alittle detour from like what was
, from my trajectory of life.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh it's so weird.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
It's so weird I don't know how to like reconcile
those years into like what.
Actually I don't know.
I think I just like am indenial about them.
I know, I know it was sobizarre and I just I can like I
have a couple memories of COVIDbut then, like a lot of it is so
mush together, like I feel likeso much of it was a blur.
(20:09):
But you know what that's sofunny, that you're like four
years ago, cause I feel like Ithink maybe now we're finally
entering the year, the timeframethat we can be.
Like that was officially likein the past.
I mean, I know it's stillaffecting our world and it's
still a thing and it hasn't goneaway completely, but like I
think we can now all comfortablybe like that was an event that
(20:33):
happened previously not onethat's like currently affecting
our day to day.
And I don't work in the medicalfields, I don't know, but I just
, I don't know it feels like acomfortable amount of distance.
Now, I think is what I'm tryingto say yeah, for the first time
since it happened it's like itwas four years ago and I just
like feel like the I used towake up every day and like check
(20:56):
the COVID numbers.
Oh, I never did that.
And now, oh, I like did majorly.
It panicked me, I don't knowwhy that was yeah, I didn't.
Why I felt like I needed to dothat.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I think I just so badly wanted to see them go down
, so I just like would check allthe time.
That's funny, I didn't knowthat.
Yeah, I mean, I think mostpeople did, I just I didn't.
Oh, so nuts.
But now your ground talks Likecan you imagine, can you believe
the cabbage patch museum madeit survive of all the businesses
(21:31):
that didn't make it throughCOVID.
The cabbage patch museum isn'tonly surviving, it's thriving,
it's.
It got a facelift.
It got a frickin' facelift.
That is so nice.
Maybe they were like.
I bet they didn't requiremasking.
I bet they were booming duringthe rain.
Oh, gosh probably it was inCleveland, georgia.
(21:52):
It was about some of their bestyears.
Yeah, they were like we don'trequire masks here.
The cabbage kids are immune.
This is one hospital thatdoesn't require what was it
called?
Pee something what the COVIDpreventative stuff Don't
(22:13):
remember.
Oh my gosh man, wild, wildtimes.
I wish that the Cabbage PatchMuseum was a little bit more
active on socials so I could seewhat their day-to-day looks
like.
No, I think that's part of theallure.
It's a little mysterious, Iknow.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Oh, if we can't see it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Cold Sprouts definitely shared a lot, but it
all just seemed so strange.
Was that pre-face lift too?
Because that footage is wild.
It's very creepy.
I can't remember if it waspre-face lift or not.
Man, but man, what a time.
(22:57):
Well, we've been all over themap.
Today we have Happy birthday.
Thank you, so excited.
What are you hoping for in your34th year?
I don't know.
(23:17):
I just feel like I'm reallysettling into my 30s and it
feels good, like I feel like.
I am like 30s are great.
I'm officially mid 30s, whichfeels a little weird, but like
Not quite, 34 is not mid is it.
Yeah, 34 to 36 is mid and then37 and up is upper right, ok, ok
(23:39):
.
Broken up into thirds that'show I've always seen it, yeah,
ok.
But one of our friends theother day was like I think I
posted something about settlinginto my 30s and I was doing my
eye patches and bedtime routineat 7.30 at night and our friend
was like she messaged me.
(23:59):
It was like gosh, do you haveany tips for your 20s?
I'm not even close to figuringit out and I think what I'm like
?
I just don't think I feel likeyour 20s.
You don't figure it out, youjust like get through them, make
them live it up, because I feellike it wasn't until I turned
30 that I was like OK, this iswho I am.
(24:20):
Yeah, this is what.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I like.
I become more OK with like thisis what I'm like.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Shut up with, yeah I want to do like I don't know.
I'm like figuring out like my20s were all over.
I mean, I think it's likethat's.
I feel like that that's whatit's for, though I feel like the
20s is like figuring, likedoing your best to figure it out
yeah, and then 30s like OK, nowyou can like no pressure, just
(24:47):
like settle down a bit, yeah,yeah, or not Anyway.
I think, yeah, I mean not settledown, but just like.
Like just settle in, like justget a little comfy with yourself
, you know.
Yeah, yeah, like don't think somuch about, like what
everyone's thinking, just likedo you?
Or what everyone's doing, orwhatever.
I'm feeling, yeah, yeah, soanyway, I don't know, I don't.
(25:09):
Yeah, my wish for 34 is that Ijust continue on that path.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yes, yes, love to see it so more skincare you a
little more skincare.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I'm more eye patches in bed at 7.30.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah, I, my nightstand is like I am actually
like very much getting intolike a little groove with my
nightstand, like I have got likea hand cream, I've got like
I've got like a little tray thathas my chapstick, my hands, my
hand cream, a couple of littlelike knickknacks from travel.
(25:44):
I feel like my nightstand hasbecome like my new little like
cozy spot, yeah, which I love.
I know every night I get in bedI take my magnies, yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
I put on my chapstick .
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I've got my water bottle.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Yeah, the water bottle.
I'm like I just love to likehang out in my bed now, and I've
never been.
I've always like been a hangoutin the living room until I'm
ready to pass out, and now I'mlike I'm just going to like lay
in my bed for two hours and like, yeah, just like enjoy my
night-tomb time routine.
I know, okay, the girl that welove on Instagram that like
makes her life a luxurious hotel.
(26:18):
Did you see that?
She keeps all of her skincareon a cart?
Yes, so that is, she doesn'tfeel like doing her skincare
routine in the bathroom.
She can just do it in bed.
Yeah, what are your thoughts onthat?
I know, I did see that and Iheard what is her name.
She's amazing Like AnnieVanderbiet.
Yeah, well, I have to post oneof her posts because I like on
(26:38):
Instagram, because I, she's likemy, she is like my self care
inspo right now.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
She's like the most.
Yes, and I love it.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I mean, she is making her life a five star resort.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I love it, I like your board.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
She's got a great Amazon and all of her things are
like shoppable on Amazon.
She would be horrified if shecame to stay at my house as a
guest.
I know I feel like I would neverleave my house if it was like
her, but anyway so yes, I didsee she has a little cart that
tucks in next to her sink or shecan roll it next to her bed and
do her like night time routine.
(27:14):
So what would you do that?
I thought like that for me.
I was like I don't think I needto do that, that's no.
I don't have enough skin careto make that feel worth it.
Like, yeah, I literally justlike wash my face, put on my
serum and my retinol and my likelotion and my teeth and call it
a day.
Yeah, but like I wouldn't mindhaving like a little caddy that
(27:37):
fits in my drawer.
Especially if I pop it out andput it on my nightstand and like
watch TV?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And if you were?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
having wash us and you wanted like a night that you
wanted to do like a good, likeyeah, I'm going to do a mask,
I'm going to do this, like thatwould be nice.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Mm, hmm.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
That would be nice.
Yeah, so that's my plan for 34.
Mid 30 things.
It's going to be great.
I, um, yeah, really going tojust lean into that.
I love it.
I love it, um, but that's it,okay.
Well, what are you going to dotoday?
(28:15):
Um, I think I'm going to well,right now it's the day before,
and I haven't decided if I'mtaking my yoga class in the

Definitely want to get my nailsdone.
Yes, maybe get lunch with you.

takeout?
